HOUSTON, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR) today announced its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 results.

"KBR delivered sustained performance throughout the year culminating in a strong fourth quarter, with significant revenue and earnings growth as well as margin expansion," said Stuart Bradie, President and CEO. "During 2024, we maintained our industry-leading safety record, met or exceeded our full year guidance, and advanced our strategy. In addition, we executed a realignment of our segments to better serve our customers and end markets, reduce costs, and open a larger pipeline of opportunities. We also expanded our capabilities with the acquisition of LinQuest, a leading provider of advanced engineering, data analytics and digital capabilities for national security and military space missions."

Mr. Bradie continued, "We believe our business portfolio is well aligned with the priorities of the new administration in the U.S., especially in the areas of national security and energy policy. Our unique and diverse global portfolio, which serves both commercial and government clients in mission critical and key operational functions, offers resilience given issues present in the world today. As measured from our fiscal year 2024 results, more than 60% of Adj. EBITDA contribution is from non-U.S. government customers. This positioning enables us to approach our fiscal year 2025 outlook with a high degree of confidence, with more than 75% of our projected Revenues already under contract across our global, diversified contract base."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Consolidated Results Review

(All comparisons against the fourth quarter 2023 unless noted.)

Revenues were $2.1 billion, up 23% or $392 million, primarily driven by on-contract growth across all Government Solutions business units, contributions from the LinQuest acquisition, and growing demand in Sustainable Technology Solutions from engineering and professional services and technology licensing.

Operating income was $142 million, down 4% or $5 million, primarily due to a $26 million resolution of an outstanding contract dispute associated with a legacy U.S. government project.

Net income attributable to KBR was $76 million, up 262% or $55 million, primarily due to a $66 million non-cash charge in the prior year period related to the election of cash as the settlement method for our Convertible Notes that did not recur in the current year period.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.57, up 280% or $0.42, primarily due to higher Net income attributable to KBR noted above and lower diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in the current year period.

Adjusted EBITDA² was $228 million, up 21% or $40 million, generally in line with the growth in Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA² margin was 10.7%, generally in line with the prior period.

Adjusted earnings per share² were $0.91, up 32% or $0.22, due to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA² noted above, favorable Other non-operating income results from foreign exchange, and lower adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding; partially offset by higher interest expense.

Backlog and options as of the fiscal year end totaled $21.2 billion. Book-to-bill¹ was 1.0x for the quarter and 1.1x on a trailing-twelve-months basis.

Operating cash flows for the fiscal year were $462 million with Operating cash conversion² of 103%.

The dividend is payable April 15, 2025, to shareholders of record on March 14, 2025. In addition, the Board increased the total amount authorized and available for repurchase under the share repurchase program to $750 million.

Segment Realignment

To streamline and optimize our processes, we realigned our segments effective for fiscal 2025. As part of this realignment, our Government Solutions reportable segment has been renamed Mission Technology Solutions, while Sustainable Technology Solutions has retained its name. The international business contained within Government Solutions has been integrated into both Mission Technology Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions. The Company will begin reporting the new segment information beginning the first fiscal quarter of 2025.

Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance

KBR issues the following outlook for fiscal year 2025:

	Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance	Growth
Revenues	$8.7B - $9.1B	+ 12% - 18%, up 15% at the midpoint
Adjusted EBITDA	$950M - $990M	+ 9% - 14%, up 11% at the midpoint
Adjusted EPS	$3.71 - $3.95	+ 11% - 18%, up 15% at the midpoint
Operating cash flows	$500M - $550M	+ 8% - 19%, up 14% at the midpoint

The company does not provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, and acquisition-related expenses without unreasonable effort, which could be material to the company's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Management has provided the following assumptions related to fiscal year 2025 guidance:

Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding: ~133 million
Depreciation & amortization: ~$165 million (includes ~$45 million purchased intangibles amortization)
Capital expenditures: ~$50 - 65 million
Effective tax rate: 25% - 27%
Adjusted EPS phasing: 47% 1H / 53% 2H

Unaudited 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.

Adjusted EBITDA

We evaluate performance based on Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to KBR, plus Interest expense; Accretion of Convertible Notes debt discounts; Other non-operating expense (income); Provision for income taxes; Depreciation and amortization; and certain discrete items as identified by Management to be non-recurring in nature as set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA can also be defined as Operating income less Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; plus Depreciation and amortization; and certain discrete items as identified by Management to be non-recurring in nature as set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for each of the three- and twelve-month periods ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in the calculation of Net income (loss) attributable to KBR in accordance with GAAP for such periods. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core performance for each of the three- and twelve-month periods ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 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 January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules because Adjusted EPS excludes certain amounts included in the Diluted EPS 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 January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance for the comparable periods.

Adjusted Operating Cash Flows

Adjusted operating cash flows, Operating cash conversion, and Adjusted operating cash conversion 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. Operating cash conversion and Adjusted operating cash conversion are calculated as Operating cash flows or Adjusted operating cash flows divided by Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding, which is then divided by Adjusted earnings per share. 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 each of the three- and twelve-month periods ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 and also afford investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core operating cash generation performance.
