KBR ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

$0.83 second quarter 2007 net income per diluted share

 

HOUSTON, Texas – KBR (NYSE:KBR) announced today that income from continuing operations was $50 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $4 million or $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2006. Net income was $140 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007, which included income from discontinued operations of $90 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, primarily related to operations from and gain on the sale of KBR’s 51% ownership interest in Devonport Management Limited (“DML”). This compares to net income for the second quarter of 2006 of $92 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, which included income from discontinued operations of $88 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, related to the Production Services Group and the operations of DML.

 

Consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2007 was $2.2 billion, relatively flat compared to the second quarter of 2006.

 

Consolidated operating income was $65 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to a loss of $47 million in the second quarter of 2006. Operating income in the second quarter of 2007 included positive contributions from an ammonia plant in Egypt, the export refinery in Saudi Arabia, and Iraq-related work. Operating income in the second quarter of 2007 was partially offset by a $24 million charge related to the U.S. Embassy project in Macedonia. Operating loss in the second quarter of 2006 included a $148 million charge on the Escravos, Nigeria Gas-to-Liquids project.

 

“In 2006, KBR sought to implement a number of strategic initiatives in its business, particularly around improving customer relationships, achieving broader portfolio diversification, and developing “Best-in-Class” project risk awareness and management. I am pleased with our progress to date and we are now beginning to realize the benefits of these initiatives,” said Bill Utt, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of KBR. “KBR is now better positioned to continue to provide market leading engineering, construction, and service offerings to its customers.”

2007 Second Quarter Segment Results

 

Energy and Chemicals operating income was $41 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to operating loss of $97 million in the second quarter of 2006. Operating income in the second quarter of 2007 included positive contributions from various petrochemical, ammonia, and refining projects.

 

In regards to the Escravos, Nigeria Gas-to-Liquids project, the contract has been amended to convert from a fixed-price to a reimbursable contract. The amendment is effective as of the original contract date and contains client determined incentives.

 

Government and Infrastructure operating income for the second quarter of 2007 was $25 million compared to operating income of $58 million in the second quarter of 2006. Operating income in the second quarter of 2007 included a charge of $24 million on the U.S. Embassy Project in Macedonia. Additionally, operating income on Iraq-related work decreased from the second quarter of 2006 due to lower activity.

 

On June 28, 2007, KBR completed the disposition of its 51% interest in DML for approximately $345 million in proceeds to KBR, net of direct transaction costs, resulting in an after-tax gain of approximately $97 million. The results of operations of DML for the current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued operations.

 

Ventures operating loss was $1 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to operating loss of $8 million in the comparable period last year.

 

Significant Achievements and Awards

 

In July 2007, KBR and Sonatrach executed a contract providing for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the Sonatrach Skikda LNG project, to be constructed at Skikda, Algeria. In addition to performing the EPC for the 4.5MPTA train, KBR will execute the pre-commissioning and commissioning portion of the contract. The contract has an approximate value of USD 2.8 billion.

 

 

Saudi Aramco and The Dow Chemical Company announced the selection of KBR as the Project Management Contractor for the Ras Tanura Integrated Project. The proposed project is a world-scale chemicals and plastics production complex in Saudi Arabia.

 

 

KBR announced that its subsidiary, M.W. Kellogg Limited (MWKL), has been awarded the detail engineering contract by Statoil on behalf of Gassco and Gassled. MWKL will be responsible for the upgrading and development of the Statoil gas treatment facility at Karsto located north of Stavanger, Norway. The contract has a value of approximately USD 175 million.

 

 

KBR’s Government & Infrastructure (G & I) segment has been selected as one of the executing contractors of the U.S. Army's Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) IV contract. Under this competitively awarded contract, KBR will continue to serve as one of three logistics support providers to U.S. forces deployed in the Middle East.

 

 

KBR was awarded contracts to provide field construction and module fabrication services by Shell Canada for the Scotford Upgrader Expansion east of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. KBR's scope of work will include the fabrication of 160 modules and will peak at approximately 800 personnel performing field construction and module services work.

 

 

KBR was selected by the U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command to compete for future task orders under the Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) Ashore program contract vehicle. KBR will be part of a Lockheed Martin-led team and will be providing the full range of design-build services for facilities infrastructure to the Lockheed Martin team.
