HOUSTON, Feb. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) today announced its fourth quarter and fiscal 2020 financial results and provided 2021 guidance.

Stuart Bradie, President and CEO of KBR, said, "2020 was a year of significant achievement for KBR, as we successfully advanced our long-term vision. We accelerated growth into attractive markets with the Centauri acquisition, strategically focused our commercial portfolio toward clean, sustainable solutions, and significantly advanced our corporate ESG and sustainability strategy, committing to net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality in 2019. Throughout the year, our team of teams delivered outstanding safety and operational performance, generated healthy profit and superb cash flow, drove innovation with technology advances and expanded our footprint through new program wins. Our progress is underscored by the strong book-to-bill achieved by our Government and Sustainable Tech businesses that underpins the 2021 guidance we are announcing today.

In 2021, KBR updated the names of its businesses as follows:

    --  Government Solutions includes the following four business units: Defense
        & Intel, formerly the Defense Systems Engineering and Centauri
        businesses; Science & Space, formerly called Space & Mission Solutions;
        Readiness & Sustainment, formerly called Logistics; and International.
    --  Sustainable Technology Solutions, formerly called Technology Solutions,
        to better reflect our business portfolio of advanced technology and
        solutions that enable customers to achieve their important
        sustainability objectives.

Key Financial Highlights:

    --  Revenue of $5.8 billion increased $128 million from the prior year, as
        follows:
        --  New program wins, on-contract expansion and acquisitive growth,
            including approximately $100 million, or 12%, growth in Science &
            Space; approximately $175 million, or 23%, growth in Defense and
            Intel (7% organic); and approximately $50 million growth in
            sustaining programs in Readiness & Sustainment;
        --  Energy Solutions revenue volume increased $187 million primarily
            attributable to the completion of projects in backlog;
        --  These revenue increases were partially offset by approximately $150
            million of revenue associated with Tyndall Air Force Base disaster
            recovery work performed in 2019 that did not recur in 2020, reduced
            volume in KBR's Middle East contingency work of approximately $150
            million, reduced volume in the heritage Technology business of
            approximately $70 million primarily attributable to a higher mix of
            proprietary equipment deliveries in 2019 that did not recur in 2020,
            and reduced activity in the international government business of
            approximately $25 million.
    --  Selling, general and administrative expenses of $335 million declined $6
        million compared to 2019, principally due to reductions associated with
        corporate cost control measures and travel restrictions related to
        COVID-19. These reductions were partially offset by increases in
        Government Solutions, including increased amortization attributable to
        our acquisition of Centauri, increased bid and proposal cost and
        favorable variances in 2019 that did not recur in 2020.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA of $478 million increased 2% from the prior year
        principally due to revenue growth.
    --  Interest expense of $83 million decreased $16 million compared to 2019
        principally due to lower outstanding borrowings under KBR's Senior
        Credit Facility during the majority of 2020 as well as lower
        weighted-average interest rates resulting from the favorable refinancing
        of KBR's Senior Credit Facility in early 2020 and reduced market
        interest rates.
    --  Restructuring and impairment charges totaled $313 million and were
        primarily non-cash, were associated with KBR's exit from commoditized
        services in its Energy Solutions business, and were related to lease
        abandonment, goodwill and asset impairments, and overhead reductions.
    --  Effective tax rate was 25%.

Recent Developments and New Business

    --  FY 2020 book-to-bill for Government Solutions was 1.2x, excluding
        privately financed initiatives, and was 1.4x for Sustainable Technology
        Solutions.
    --  Expanded footprint through new project/program wins, including a five
        year $539 million ceiling contract to provide high-end technical
        services for rapid prototyping and fielding of systems for the U.S. Air
        Force; over $900 million in IDIQ tasking through our IAC-MAC contract
        balanced nicely across the Army, Air Force and Navy; and an eight-year
        $974 million ceiling contract to provide sustaining services to support
        U.S. Air Force operations in Europe.
    --  Delivered a 95% recompete win rate in the U.S. Government Solutions
        business that included a $400 million NASA award to provide intelligent
        systems research and a $300 million U.S. Geological Survey award to
        perform satellite systems engineering, software development,
        cybersecurity, data storage, program management, network engineering,
        satellite data acquisition, and scientific research and application
        development for remote sensing data.
    --  Continued track record of innovation, bringing new technologies to
        market, including:
        --  Entered into an agreement with Mura Technology to be the exclusive
            licensor of Cat-HTR(TM), an innovative, disruptive mixed plastics
            recycling technology that processes all types of plastic including
            many that are currently considered unrecyclable; and
        --  Entered into an agreement with Johnson Matthey to license a
            groundbreaking ammonia-methanol co-production process that combines
            KBR and Johnson Matthey market-leading ammonia and methanol
            technologies to enable superior end-product flexibility for our
            clients.
    --  Numerous engagements to consult, advise and deliver technology and
        professional services in the area of energy transition, hydrogen future
        and circular economy, including multiple engagements with various
        governments and companies to advise on climate change and transition to
        a hydrogen future; a five-year master services contract to provide
        engineering services for a client's global carbon recycling technology
        projects; and a technology package, including license, basic
        engineering, proprietary equipment and catalyst, for a zero CO(2
        )emissions, commercial-scale ammonia facility.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release and related comments by KBR management contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Some examples include statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future financial performance and backlog information and other information that is not historical. When used in this press release, the words "estimates," "expects," "predicts," "continues," "looking ahead," "well-positioned," "anticipates," "projects," "plans," "intends," "believes," "forecasts" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "should," "could," or "may," and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions, which are made in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

    --  U.S. government regulatory changes or changes to funding related to our
        lines of business that could be less favorable. Because we generate a
        substantial portion of our revenues from contracts with U.S. government
        agencies, our operating results could be adversely affected by spending
        caps or changes in budgetary priorities, as well as by delays in the
        government budget process, program starts or the award of contracts or
        task orders under contracts. Changes in spending authorizations and
        budgetary priorities may occur as a result of the shifts in spending
        priorities from defense-related and other programs as a result of
        competing demands for federal funds and the number and intensity of
        military conflicts and other factors;
    --  operational challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to
        mitigate the spread of the virus, including logistical challenges,
        protecting the health and well-being of our employees, remote work
        arrangements, performance of contracts and supply chain disruptions;
    --  the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the severity and duration of world
        health events, including volatility in the capital markets,
        deteriorating financial conditions or bankruptcy, and related economic
        repercussions resulting from severe disruption in multiple industries,
        which may negatively impact our clients' ability to meet their payment
        obligations to us in a timely manner; and
    --  the level of capital spending and access to capital markets by
        industrial companies, including significant reductions and potential
        additional reductions in capital expenditures in response to commodity
        prices and dramatically reduced demand.

Additional information about potential risk factors that could affect our business and financial results is included in our latest Form 10-K and any subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this press release, which speak only as of the date hereof. We disclaim any intent or obligation, except as required by law, to revise or update this information to reflect new information or future events or circumstances. We also disclaim any duty to comment on or correct information that may be contained in reports published by investment analysts or others.

                                  work on contracts and our pro-rata share

                                  phases by the customer. Additionally,
                                  nearly all contracts allow customers to

                                  convenience. Where contract duration is
                                  indefinite and clients can terminate for
                                  convenience without having to compensate
                                  us for periods beyond the date of
                                  termination, projects included in backlog
                                  are limited to the estimated amount of
                                  expected revenues within the following
                                  twelve months. 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 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 U.K. 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 revenues. Since
                                  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 $2.4 billion at December
                                  31, 2020, and $2.6 billion at December
                                  31, 2019. Our backlog included in the
                                  table above for projects related to
                                  consolidated joint ventures includes 100%
                                  of the backlog associated with those
                                  joint ventures and totaled $52 million at
                                  December 31, 2020, and $78 million at
                                  December 31, 2019.




                                 We estimate that as of December 31, 2020,
                                  28% of our backlog will be executed
                                  within one year. Of this amount, 87% will
                                  be recognized in revenues on our
                                  consolidated statement of operations and
                                  13% will be recorded by our
                                  unconsolidated joint ventures. As of
                                  December 31, 2020, $107 million of our
                                  backlog relates to active contracts that
                                  are in a loss position.




                                 As of December 31, 2020, 13% of our
                                  backlog was attributable to fixed-price
                                  contracts, 47% was attributable to PFIs
                                  and 40% of our backlog was attributable
                                  to cost-reimbursable contracts. For
                                  contracts that contain both fixed-price
                                  and cost-reimbursable components, we
                                  classify the individual components as
                                  either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable
                                  according to the composition of the
                                  contract; however, for smaller contracts,
                                  we characterize the entire contract based
                                  on the predominant component. As of
                                  December 31, 2020, $9.3 billion of our
                                  Government Solutions backlog was
                                  currently funded by our customers. As of
                                  December 31, 2020, we had approximately
                                  $3.9 billion of priced option periods for
                                  U.S. government contracts that are not
                                  included in the backlog amounts presented
                                  above.

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 attributable to KBR, plus interest expense, net; provision for income taxes; other non-operating expense (income); and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each such period exclude certain amounts included in the calculation of net income 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 twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 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 twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules because the Adjusted EPS for each such period excludes certain amounts included in the diluted earnings per share 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 twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 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 twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 by adjusting diluted EPS for the items included in the table below.

Adjusted Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Adjusted operating cash flows for 2020 guidance is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules because the Adjusted operating cash flows exclude certain amounts included in the cash flows provided by operating 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 afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core operating cash flow performance for 2020 guidance and also afford investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core operating cash generation performance.

We have calculated Adjusted operating cash flow for each of the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 by adjusting operating cash flow provided by operating activities for the item included in the table below.


                                                                                           Three Months Ended December 31,             Year Ended December 31,
