HOUSTON, Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR) today announced its fourth quarter and FY 2021 financial results and initiated attractive FY 2022 financial guidance.

"KBR had a stellar 2021 delivering significant progress toward its 2025 growth strategy," said Stuart Bradie, President and CEO of KBR. "Throughout the year, our Team of Teams posted outstanding performance across all key metrics – organic revenue growth, earnings expansion, cash generation, new program wins, and Zero Harm. We extended our high-end capabilities in attractive, growing end markets across international defense and renewable energy with the acquisition of Frazer-Nash Consultancy, and we formed important alliances to advance ground-breaking technology to close the circular plastics loop and make carbon-free energy a reality. Our business benefits from strong end market momentum in areas of global importance, such as defense modernization and climate change, and combined with our deep domain expertise and culture of innovation, KBR is well positioned for near-, mid- and long-term growth."

"We are proud to have achieved carbon neutrality for a second consecutive year on a path toward net zero carbon by 2030. At KBR, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond and includes leveraging our expertise to help others achieve their sustainability goals, thus creating value for all stakeholders. Our people-centered culture is at the heart of our strategic evolution into a forward-leaning, sustainability-driven, agile business focused on solving our clients' most complex issues and challenges through our IP, deep domain expertise and innovative solutions.

Financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2021

Revenue of $7.3 billion, a 27% increase compared to 2020, 18% organic, is primarily attributable to the following:

Government Solutions posted $6.1 billion of revenue, a 52% increase over 2020, 36% organic. The increase in revenue is attributable to organic growth delivered across each of our government businesses, including work supporting Operation Allies Welcome ("OAW") and the acquisition of Centauri in October 2020. In late 2021, KBR was awarded multiple task orders to support OAW, a historic humanitarian effort for the U.S. Department of Defense ("DOD") to facilitate the rapid development of vital, temporary infrastructure at military bases in the U.S. and abroad to accommodate thousands of displaced Afghans. We expect this non-recurring OAW work to be substantially completed in early 2022.
Sustainable Technology Solutions posted $1.2 billion of revenue in 2021, in line with our guided annual revenue expectations for this business following the company's 2020 exit from commoditized services.

Gross profit, net income attributable to KBR, adj. EBITDA, and adj. EPS increased in line with the items described above as well as the following:

Excluding the impact of OAW, core Government Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions profit contributions and adj. EBITDA margins were in line with management's expectations for the year. Margins in Government Solutions continue to reflect strong project execution and strong CPAR performance and award fee scores in challenging technical areas that reflect high customer satisfaction. The Sustainable Technology Solutions segment performance reflected planned ramp down of legacy projects while producing growth in higher margin areas. OAW task orders are cost-reimbursable with lower than normative EBITDA margins that result in some margin dilution but with meaningful contributions to net income attributable to KBR, adj. EBITDA and adj. EPS.
In October 2021, we announced that our JKC joint venture entered into a binding settlement agreement that resolved outstanding claims and disputes between JKC and its client. The settlement agreement is an important de-risking event that reduces uncertainty, reduces future legal costs, frees up management time, and increases deployment optionality. In connection with this settlement, KBR recorded a non-cash charge of $193 million and a $10 million charge for warranty items. Consistent with the company's practice, these amounts have been excluded from adj. EBITDA and adj. EPS. This settlement does not impact pursuit of, or positions related to, subcontractor claims associated with the combined cycle power plant for which the company continues to expect a favorable cash award upon resolution.
In the 2nd quarter of 2021, the company benefited from the net favorable resolution of legacy matters in Sustainable Technology Solutions that resulted in a net benefit of $16 million with attendant favorable operating cash flow.
In 2020, net income attributable to KBR was impacted by non-cash restructuring and impairment charges of $214 million and goodwill impairment charges of $99 million that did not recur in 2021 in connection with the transformation of its operating model to narrow its strategic focus and reduce risk. These amounts have been excluded from adj. EBITDA and adj. EPS.
SG&A of $393 million increased 17% over 2020 primarily attributable to the acquisition of Centauri in late 2020, as well as an increase in corporate expenses associated with return to the office, increased travel, and other initiatives, all in line with management's expectations.
Adj. EPS increased 40% in line with the items described above, as well as favorable jurisdictional tax mix and increased utilization of foreign tax credits.

Recent Developments and New Business

In the year ended December 31, 2021, the company won $7.8 billion of awards and options, including the following:

Over $800 million of task orders under IAC-MAC to provide cutting edge R&D and defense modernization support;
Historic humanitarian support contracts to facilitate the rapid development of vital infrastructure at military bases in the U.S. and abroad being used to accommodate thousands of displaced Afghans for the U.S. DOD;
Contracts to provide our leading ammonia technology for greenfield traditional, blue, and green ammonia projects;
Multiple licensing awards to provide industry-leading, disruptive Hydro-PRT℠ plastics recycling technology, as well as numerous ongoing studies; and
Numerous contracts to provide KBR INSITE^® virtual/remote monitoring and advisory services to help clients digitally diagnose operational problems, determine probable root causes, and recommend corrective actions to meet operational objectives and minimize environmental impact.

Capital Deployment

KBR continues to employ a balanced approach to capital allocation, which includes investments that facilitate sustainable, long-term growth, and prudent return of capital to shareholders. During the year, KBR completed the strategic acquisition of Frazer-Nash Consultancy, repurchased $82 million of its common shares, and paid $61 million in shareholder dividends.

KBR is pleased to announce an increase to its quarterly dividend beginning in 2022 to $0.12 per share, a 9% increase over 2021 levels and a 50% increase since 2019.

FY 2022 Guidance

KBR combines deep mission understanding, market-leading expertise and technology, and unwavering operational focus to deliver solutions to solve our clients' most complex issues. In 2021, KBR continued to shift toward agile, solutions-oriented delivery in differentiated areas that we believe will provide attractive growth, profit, and cash conversion. Our 2022 financial guidance is underpinned by favorable market tailwinds, excellent bookings momentum, and work under contract of over 70% to deliver 2022 results. Our FY 2022 guidance is in line with or ahead of pace with our 2025 long-term targets.

KBR guides 2022 financial results as follows:

Consolidated revenue: $6.3 billion to $6.8 billion
Adjusted EBITDA margin¹: ~10%
Effective tax rate: 24% to 25%
Earnings per share (EPS): $2.04 to $2.19

(a)	Backlog generally represents the dollar amount of revenues we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work on contracts and our pro-rata share of work to be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures. We generally include total expected revenues in backlog when a contract is awarded under a legally binding agreement. In many instances, arrangements included in backlog are complex, nonrepetitive and may fluctuate due to the release of contracted work in phases by the customer. Additionally, nearly all contracts allow customers to terminate the agreement at any time for 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 $2.6 billion at December 31, 2021, and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2020. 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 $37 million at December 31, 2021, and $52 million at December 31, 2020.

	We estimate that as of December 31, 2021, 30% of our backlog will be executed within one year. Of this amount, 91% will be recognized in revenues on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and 9% will be recorded by our unconsolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2021, $180 million of our backlog relates to active contracts that are in a loss position.

	As of December 31, 2021, 12% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts, 46% was attributable to PFIs, 29% was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts, and 13% was attributable to time-and-materials contracts. For contracts that contain fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, and time-and-materials components, we classify the individual components as either fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, or time-and-materials 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, 2021, $9.5 billion of our Government Solutions backlog was currently funded by our customers.

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 (income) loss; 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, 2021 and 2020 are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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, 2021 and 2020 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, 2021 and 2020 is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules because the Adjusted EPS 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, 2021 and 2020 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, 2021 and 2020 by adjusting diluted EPS for the items included in the table below.

Adjusted Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flows

Adjusted operating cash flows and adjusted free cash flows are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Adjusted operating cash flows exclude certain amounts included in the cash flows provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted free cash flows exclude capital expenditures from adjusted operating cash flows. 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 and adjusted free cash flows afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core operating cash flow performance 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 flows and adjusted free cash flows for each of the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 by adjusting operating cash flow provided by operating activities for items included in the table below.
