IRVING, Texas (November 3, 2023) - Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Revenue for the quarter was $4.0 billion and net earnings attributable to Fluor were $206 million, or $1.15 per diluted share. Consolidated segment profit[1] for the quarter was $276 million compared to $31 million profit in the third quarter of 2022. Excluding the adjustments outlined in the reconciliation table at the end of this release, the company recognized adjusted earnings per diluted share1 of $1.02.
“This quarter’s results reflect our deliberate focus on driving profitability through improved project
execution and our high-quality contract backlog,” said David E. Constable, chairman and chief executive
officer of Fluor. “Combined with our strengthened and simplified capital structure, Fluor is well
positioned to support demand-driven growth and improved shareholder returns.”
[1] Non-GAAP Financial Measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.
Third quarter new awards were consistent with company expectations at $5.0 billion compared to $9.7 billion in the third quarter of 2022. Ending consolidated backlog was $26 billion compared to $25.4 billion a year ago. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $56 million compared to Q3 2022 expenses of $30 million. Fluor’s cash and marketable securities at the end of the quarter were $2.4 billion, excluding amounts held by NuScale.
Outlook
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.
Fluor is increasing its full year adjusted EPS guidance from a range of $2.00 to $2.30 per diluted share to a range of $2.50 to $2.70 per diluted share. The company is also increasing its full year adjusted EBITDA guidance from the previous range of $500 to $600 million to an expectation of approximately $600 million. This revised guidance reflects positive advances on large Energy Solutions projects and continued progress on projects in our legacy portfolio. The company also reaffirms its guidance for 2026.

Business Segments
Energy Solutions reported a profit of $177 million in the third quarter compared to $59 million in the third quarter of 2022. Segment profit significantly improved primarily due to the initial recognition of cost recovery entitlements on several fixed price projects, partially offset by cost growth on a large upstream legacy project and a charge for the expected net settlement of a longstanding claim. Revenue for the quarter was $1.6 billion, consistent with a year ago. New awards in the quarter totaled $3.3 billion, compared to $3.6 billion in the third quarter of 2022. Ending backlog was $9.2 billion compared to $10.2 billion a year ago.
Urban Solutions reported a profit of $66 million in the third quarter compared to a $50 million loss in the third quarter of 2022. This quarter’s results include an incentive fee earned on a large mining project that is nearing completion as well as a favorable arbitration outcome on a separate mining project. Segment profit from the prior year period includes project charges due to cost growth and schedule delays on three legacy infrastructure projects. Revenue for the third quarter increased to $1.4 billion from $1.1 billion a year ago. New awards for the quarter were $1.0 billion, up from $933 million a year ago. Ending backlog was $11.1 billion compared to $8.1 billion a year ago.
Mission Solutions reported a profit of $38 million in the third quarter compared to $29 million in the third quarter of 2022. Results for the quarter reflect increased execution for FEMA hurricane support. Revenue for the third quarter was $655 million compared to $639 million a year ago. New awards for the quarter totaled $345 million, compared to $4.9 billion in the third quarter of 2022. Ending backlog was $4.6 billion compared to $6.2 billion a year ago.
The Other segment, which includes Stork and Fluor’s 55% ownership in NuScale, reported revenue of $324 million and a loss of $5 million. Segment results for the quarter include $19 million of loss related to NuScale.

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 or that have been sold. 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.
