A copy of the press release (the “Earnings Release”) making this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section.

Backlog is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. New awards measure the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded in the period. Backlog and new awards measures are regularly reported in the construction industry.

News Release

FLUOR REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

•Q1 2023 revenue of $3.8 billion, an increase of 20% compared to prior year
•New awards of $3.2 billion, 81% reimbursable
•Q1 2023 net loss attributable to Fluor of $107 million reflects project forecast revisions and sale of AMECO South America
•Company reaffirms its 2023 and 2026 adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance

IRVING, Texas (May 5, 2023) - Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023. Revenue for the quarter was $3.8 billion and net loss attributable to Fluor was $107 million, or $0.82 per diluted share. Consolidated segment loss1 for the quarter was $15 million compared to $115 million profit in the first quarter of 2022. Results for the quarter include $80 million in charges on two legacy projects and a $60 million impact of the sale of AMECO South America. Excluding the adjustments outlined in the reconciliation table at the end of this release, the company recognized adjusted earnings per diluted share1 of $0.28.


“The underlying performance of our healthy backlog continues to be impacted by a few remaining legacy projects,” said David Constable, chairman and chief executive officer of Fluor. “We believe that the recent deployment of additional, experienced resources to these projects and our associated claim positions will put us on the straightest path to completion and accelerate our efforts to deliver consistent and repeatable operational results.”
1 Non-GAAP Financial Measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

First quarter new awards were consistent with company expectations at $3.2 billion compared to $1.9 billion a year ago. Ending consolidated backlog was $25.6 billion compared to $19.3 billion a year ago. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $62 million compared to $71 million a year ago. Fluor’s cash and marketable securities at the end of the quarter were $2.3 billion, including $268 million in cash and marketable securities held by NuScale.

Outlook

Based on the volume of higher margin awards received over the past 12 months, the strength of our prospect pipeline, and the strong execution platform deployed across our portfolio, Fluor affirms its 2023 and 2026 guidance. We are not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings or U.S. GAAP earnings per share, or a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EPS guidance, because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty all of the components required to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable efforts, which are uncertain and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

2023
2026
Adjusted EBITDA1 Guidance
$450 to $600 million
$800 to $950 million
Adjusted EPS1 Guidance
$1.50 to $1.90 per share

$3.10 to $3.60 per share


Adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance exclude items similar to those outlined in the reconciliation table at the end of this release. Guidance for 2023 anticipates a book-to-burn of approximately 1.0 with substantial new awards from all segments. Guidance also assumes a tax rate of approximately 40 percent on adjusted earnings, but the company notes that this rate may vary depending on the country in which profit is generated.

Business Segments

Energy Solutions reported a profit of $88 million in the first quarter compared to $54 million in the first quarter of 2022. Results include increased execution activities on refinery and LNG projects in North America as well as a favorable foreign currency remeasurement effect on a project with multiple currencies. This increase in segment profit was partially offset by an increase in expense on embedded foreign currency derivatives. Revenue for the quarter increased to $1.6 billion from $1.2 billion a year ago due to the ramp up of execution activities on certain LNG, chemical and refinery projects. New awards in the quarter totaled $712 million, compared to $682 million in the first quarter of 2022. Ending backlog was $8.6 billion compared to $8.5 billion a year ago.


Urban Solutions reported a loss of $20 million in the first quarter compared to a $17 million profit in the first quarter of 2022. Results reflect a $59 million charge for rework associated with subcontractor design errors, the related schedule impacts and systems integration testing timelines on the LAX Automated People Mover project. Revenue for the first quarter increased to $1.2 billion from $1.1 billion a year ago. New awards for the quarter increased to $1.8 billion from $620 million a year ago due to a large automated distribution center program in North America and additional work for an existing semiconductor project in Malaysia. Ending backlog was $10.7 billion compared to $7.3 billion a year ago.


Mission Solutions reported a profit of $7 million in the first quarter compared to $58 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in segment profit was substantially driven by a $21 million charge for cost growth resulting from government directed change orders at the F.E. Warren Air Force Base project. The company is evaluating revenue opportunities for this potential claim in future periods. Segment profit from a year ago includes favorable closeout of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project in Puerto Rico and the successful completion of a humanitarian support project for Afghan evacuees in the United States. Revenue for the first quarter increased to $649 million from $593 million a year ago. New awards for the quarter totaled $331 million, compared to $386 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Ending backlog was $5.2 billion compared to $2.3 billion a year ago.


The Other segment, which includes Stork, AMECO and Fluor’s 56% ownership in NuScale, reported revenue of $283 million and a loss of $90 million. Segment results for the quarter include $60 million of negative earnings impact from the sale of the AMECO South America business and $29 million for NuScale expenses. The company has divested all AMECO operations and expects to complete final negotiations for Stork’s European operations in Q2.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains discussions of consolidated segment profit (loss), adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA that are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Segment profit (loss) is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. The company believes that segment profit (loss) provides a meaningful perspective on its business results as it is the aggregation of individual segment profit measures that the company utilizes to evaluate and manage its business performance. Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings from core operations excluding NuScale profit (loss) and the impacts of foreign exchange fluctuations, impairments and certain items that management believes are unrelated to actual normalized operational performance. Net earnings from core operations is net earnings attributable to Fluor excluding the results of our remaining Stork and AMECO equipment businesses that are no longer classified as discontinued operations but that continue to be marketed for sale.
4



Adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding assumes the conversion of our convertible preferred stock. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings from operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), further adjusted by the same items excluded from adjusted net earnings. The company believes adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA allow investors to evaluate the company’s ongoing earnings on a normalized basis and make meaningful period-over-period comparisons. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from or a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of consolidated segment profit (loss), adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the press release tables. The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of its adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty all of the components required to provide such reconciliation, including the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, which are uncertain and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
