Fluor Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

  • Strong Q3 new awards of $9.7 billion; 91% reimbursable
  • Second largest new awards quarter in company history
  • Ending backlog up 30% over last quarter to $25.4 billion; 58% reimbursable
  • Q3 2022 net income from continuing operations attributable to Fluor of $22 million
  • Results reflect additional challenges on three legacy infrastructure projects

Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Revenue for the quarter was $3.6 billion and net income from continuing operations attributable to Fluor was $22 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. Consolidated segment profit for the quarter was $31 million compared to $116 million in the third quarter of 2021. Results for the quarter include $107 million in project adjustments for three legacy infrastructure projects. Excluding the adjustments outlined in the reconciliation table at the end of this release, the company recognized adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.07.

“Our near record new awards in the quarter, 91% of which were reimbursable cost contracts, shows that there is considerable demand for the services we provide,” said David Constable, chairman and chief executive officer of Fluor. “However, our legacy projects in infrastructure weighed heavily on our otherwise great results. We continue to reinforce our joint venture partnerships to deliver these projects as efficiently as possible and expect to formalize our entitlement positions in the next few months.”

Third quarter new awards were $9.7 billion compared to $3.4 billion a year ago. Ending consolidated backlog was $25.4 billion. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $30 million compared to $44 million a year ago. Fluor’s cash and marketable securities at the end of the quarter were $2.6 billion, including $348 million in cash held by NuScale.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter, Fluor is establishing an adjusted earnings per diluted share (EPS) range of $0.50 to $0.60 and an adjusted EBITDA range of $125 to $150 million. Guidance for the fourth quarter reflects higher contributions from Energy and Urban Solutions. Adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance excludes considerations outlined in the reconciliation table at the end of this release.

Business Segments

Energy Solutions reported a profit of $59 million in the third quarter compared to $72 million in the third quarter of 2021. Results include losses related to embedded foreign currency derivatives and declines in execution activity for projects nearing completion that were partially offset by increased execution activity on recently awarded projects. Revenue for the quarter was $1.6 billion, up from $1.4 billion a year ago. New awards in the quarter totaled $3.6 billion, compared to $644 million in the third quarter of 2021, and included two chemicals projects in China, a refinery upgrade project in Mexico and a mid-scale liquefied natural gas project offshore the U.S. Gulf Coast. Ending backlog was $10.2 billion compared to $9.8 billion a year ago.

Urban Solutions reported a loss of $54 million in the third quarter compared to a profit of $18 million in the third quarter of 2021. Revenue for the third quarter was $982 million compared to $1 billion a year ago. New awards for the quarter totaled $929 million, compared to $781 million in the third quarter of 2021, and included a large-scale biologics manufacturing facility in Scandinavia. Ending backlog was $7.6 billion compared to $7.8 billion a year ago.

Results for the quarter include three legacy infrastructure adjustments: $64 million for additional rework and schedule delays on the I-635 LBJ East Freeway project; $22 million for cost growth and delay mitigation costs on the Gordie Howe project; and $21 million for subcontractor cost escalation and productivity estimates on the LAX Automated People Mover project.

Mission Solutions reported a profit of $29 million in the third quarter compared to $28 million in the third quarter of 2021. Revenue for the third quarter declined to $639 million from $723 million a year ago. The decrease in revenue reflects the completion of a Department of Energy project in the prior year. New awards for the quarter totaled $4.9 billion, compared to $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Ending backlog was $6.2 billion compared to $3.4 billion a year ago.

The Other segment, which includes Stork, AMECO and Fluor’s 57% ownership in NuScale, reported revenue of $399 million and a loss of $3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains discussions of consolidated segment profit, adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA that are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Segment profit is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. The company believes that consolidated segment profit 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. A reconciliation of consolidated segment profit to earnings from continuing operations before taxes is included in the press release table. Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings from core operations excluding NuScale profit (loss) and the impacts of foreign exchange fluctuations, restructuring, 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 were previously classified as discontinued operations but that continue to be marketed for sale. 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 continuing 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, 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 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.
