	    	HOUSTON, Texas - August 2, 2017 - KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR), a global provider of differentiated, professional services and technologies across the asset and program life cycle within the government services and hydrocarbons industries today announced second quarter 2017 financial results.	
Consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2017 was $1.1 billion compared to $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2016. Net income attributable to KBR was $77 million or $0.54 per diluted share ($0.57 per diluted share excluding $4 million in pre-tax U.S. Government legacy legal fees) in the second quarter of 2017 compared to net income of $47 million or $0.32 per diluted share ($0.35 per diluted share excluding pre-tax U.S. Government legacy legal fees of $4 million) in the second quarter of 2016.
Revenue in the second quarter increased from the same period a year ago driven by the acquisitions in the Government Services segment and expansion of existing contracts with the U.S. Military. The revenue increases were partially offset by lower activity on various projects in our Engineering and Construction segment and the completion of the final EPC power project within our Non-strategic Business segment.
Net income attributable to KBR reflects good performance across all segments in addition to the $35 million gain associated with the PEMEX settlement recognized in the quarter.
KBR finalized and completed the settlement of the EPC 1 litigation with PEMEX Exploración y Producción (PEP). The settlement provided for a cash payment of $435 million for costs and fees owed for work on the construction project and dismissals of all litigation. Settlement of this matter was a driver to the positive cash performance in the quarter.
“ We achieved strong earnings driven by good performance across all of our business segments, the expansion of existing military contracts, our Government Services acquisitions, and final settlement of a commercial dispute with PEMEX.” said Stuart Bradie, President and Chief Executive Office of KBR, Inc. “Improving results in our E&C segment are the result of continued strong execution performance as well as progress made on our strategy to lessen reliance on large projects and focus on winning multiple smaller, more recurring and predictable services work."
“We continue to experience improved and more consistent profit momentum and cash generation as a result of our strategy to position KBR as a global leader in differentiated professional services and project delivery, positioning the company for strong long-term growth with less risk and increased financial flexibility. Our focus on cash has allowed us to strategically allocate capital this quarter.” Bradie continued.  
Segment Business Results (All comparisons are second quarter 2017 versus second quarter 2016 unless otherwise noted.)
Government Services (GS) Results
GS revenue was $543 million , an increase of $314 million compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Wyle and HTSI (converted into KTS) in the third quarter of 2016, as well as continued expansion of task orders on existing U.S. Government contracts including LogCAP IV and other base operational support services (BOSS) contracts in support of the U.S. military.
GS gross profit was $37 million (6.8% of revenues), a decrease of $4 million from the second quarter of 2016, due to the non-recurring favorable $33 million settlement with the U.S. government related to the sodium dichromate case in the prior year. This decrease was partially offset by the contributions from the acquisitions discussed above and expansions of task orders on existing U.S. government contracts.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $18 million , an increase of $8 million from the the prior year, due to favorable adjustments this quarter associated with the U.K. Ministry of Defense project and the U.K. Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) project.
Technology & Consulting (T&C) Results
T&C revenue was $82 million , a decrease of $16 million compared to the second quarter of 2016, due primarily to a lower volume of proprietary equipment sales partially offset by higher license revenues and by new consulting contracts from upstream projects.
T&C gross profit was $17 million (20.7% of revenues), up $2 million from the second quarter of 2016, due to improved mix of licenses in the second quarter of 2017 and cost reductions implemented in 2016.
Engineering & Construction (E&C) Results
E&C revenue was $462 million , a decrease of $159 million from the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to reduced activity on several projects across the sector. These decreases were partially offset by projects ramping up from new awards in the second half of 2016, including a construction project in Canada.
E&C gross profit was $55 million (11.9% of revenues), an increase of $20 million compared to the second quarter of 2016. This was largely attributable to the favorable settlement of the PEMEX litigation resulting in $35 million of gross profits this quarter.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $14 million , a decrease of $9 million from the prior year predominantly due to lower activity on an Australian joint venture as well as our offshore maintenance joint venture in Mexico.
Non-strategic Business (NSB) Results
NSB revenue was $7 million , a decrease of $54 million from the prior year, primarily due to completion of EPC power projects as we exit this business.
NSB gross loss was $1 million, improved by $16 million compared to the second quarter of 2016, as charges for cost increases for subcontractor productivity and delays in the second quarter of 2016 did not recur in 2017.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Cash flow from operating activities was $325 million , an increase of $316 million compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase was driven by the cash settlement with PEP and improved focus on working capital management. We received $435 million from PEP, of which $91 million was used to pay related Mexican income taxes, $180 million was used to repay a portion of the borrowings under our Credit Agreement, and $50 million was used to repurchase shares under our stock repurchase authorization. A portion of the remainder was used to fund working capital requirements for several EPC contracts nearing completion within our E&C and NSB business segments. Cash and equivalents at June 30, 2017 totaled $491 million , including $184 million of domestic U.S. cash. As of June 30, 2017 , our $1 billion revolving credit agreement had an outstanding balance of $470 million

KBR backlog decreased from $10.6 billion as of March 31, 2017 to $10.3 billion as of June 30, 2017 , with project work-off exceeding new awards/adjustments in our E&C and T&C business segments. Backlog in the GS business segment increased $180 million from March 31, 2017.
Outlook
We are increasing the company’s full year 2017 fully diluted adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $1.25 to $1.45 per share from the previous range of $1.10 to $1.40. Our guidance of earnings per share is on an adjusted EPS basis, which excludes legacy legal costs for U.S. Government contracts. These costs are estimated to be approximately $9 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share in 2017. The estimated legacy legal costs do not assume any cost reimbursement from the U.S. Government that could occur in the future. Our estimated effective tax rate for 2017 is estimated to be from 23% to 25%. Our expected EBITDA range for 2017, which is on the same basis as the EPS guidance, is $300-$350 million. Our guidance for operating cash flows is increased to a range of $120 million to $200 million for 2017, up from previous guidance of $100 million to $200 million.

(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.	

Within our GS business segment, we calculate estimated backlog for long-term contracts associated with the U.K. government's privately financed initiatives or projects ("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 $7.4 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . We consolidate joint ventures which are majority-owned and controlled or are variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which we are the primary beneficiary. Our backlog included in the table above for projects related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interest includes 100% of the backlog associated with those joint ventures and totaled $139 million at June 30, 2017 and $151 million at December 31, 2016 .
We estimate that as of June 30, 2017 , 35% of our backlog will be executed within one year. Of this amount, 58% will be recognized in revenues on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and 42% will be recorded by our unconsolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2017 , $125 million of our backlog relates to active contracts that are in a loss position.
As of June 30, 2017 , 14% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts, 60% was attributable to PFIs, and 26% of our backlog was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts. For contracts that contain both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable components, we classify the individual components as either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable according to the composition of the contract; however, for smaller contracts, we characterize the entire contract based on the predominant component. As of June 30, 2017 , $7.2 billion of our GS backlog was currently funded by our customers.
