KBR Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Delivered Outstanding 1H23 Revenue and Cash Flow Results
Raises FY23 Adj. EBITDA2 Guidance
Resolved Legacy Litigation and Partially Retired Outstanding Convertible Notes
HOUSTON, TX - July 27, 2023 - KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) today announced its second quarter 2023 financial results and raised its FY 2023 financial guidance for Adjusted EBITDA2.
“Once again, the people of KBR have delivered a strong quarter of financial and ESG performance, underpinned by our mission focus and exemplary operational discipline,” said Stuart Bradie, KBR president and CEO. “Revenue and cash flow were strong in the first half of 2023. Net income was negatively impacted due to recorded losses in the second quarter associated with our convertible notes and the settlement of a legacy legal matter. First half Adjusted EBITDA2 and Adjusted EPS2 were outstanding, and as a result of strong, core business performance, we are pleased to announce an increase in our FY 2023 Adjusted EBITDA2 guidance. In response to our ongoing ESG progress, we received a AAA designation in MSCI’s 2023 ESG Ratings, we were named one of America’s Climate Leaders 2023 by USA Today, and we received a gold medal rating from EcoVadis in recognition of our sustainability achievements, ranking KBR among the top 5% of assessed companies.”
“Furthermore, we were pleased to announce the resolution of a legacy legal matter and the repurchase of $100 million in convertible notes and associated warrants. We anticipate these developments will help us reduce uncertainty and liquidity risk and open the door for opportunities for shareholder value appreciation as we continue to build on our strong momentum this year and the years to come.”

Commentary on the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenues were $1.8 billion, up 8% compared to 2Q'22. Revenue ex-OAW2 increased $173 million, or 11%, primarily attributable to increased activity to support exercises, training and other activities in the European Command, on-contract growth in Science & Space and Defense, and growing demand in Sustainable Technology Solutions primarily from engineering and professional services and technology licensing.
Net income attributable to KBR was $(351) million, down $445 million compared to 2Q'22, primarily due to a cash charge of $144 million in connection with the settlement of a legacy legal matter and a non-cash charge of $314 million recorded in connection with the accounting treatment resulting from an election to settle our convertible notes in cash upon maturity, the repurchase of a portion of our convertible notes and the termination of corresponding portions of the note hedge and warrants (discussed below) in the current quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was $191 million, up 3% compared to 2Q'22, with Adjusted EBITDA2 margins of 11%. Adjusted EBITDA ex-Gains2 was up 16% compared to 2Q'22.
Diluted earnings per share decreased in line with the decrease in net income attributable to KBR. Adjusted earnings per share2 increased due to increases in gross profit and equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.
Operating cash flows were $253 million, up 102% compared to 2Q'22, due to revenue growth and recovery of timing items from prior quarter.
Capital returned to shareholders totaled $95 million during the quarter, consisting of $76 million in share repurchases, inclusive of $75 million of open market repurchases and $1 million of repurchases to satisfy requirements of equity compensation plans, and $19 million in regular dividends.
Commentary on the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenues were $3.5 billion, up 4% compared to YTD 2Q'22. Revenue ex-OAW2 increased $431 million, or 14%, primarily attributable to increased activity to support exercises, training and other activities in the European Command, on-contract growth in Science & Space and Defense, and growing demand in Sustainable Technology Solutions primarily from engineering and professional services and technology licensing.
Net income attributable to KBR was $(265) million, down $288 million compared to YTD 2Q'22. Excluding the non-cash charge of $314 million related to the convertible notes settlement method election and partial repurchase and partial unwind agreements in the current quarter (discussed below), Adjusted net income attributable to KBR2 was $49 million, up $26 million, due to higher gross profit partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense, as well as prior year gains on sale of non-core assets and unrealized gain on investments that did not recur in the current year.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was $373 million, up 10% compared to YTD 2Q'22, with Adjusted EBITDA2 margins of 11%. Adjusted EBITDA ex-Gains2 was up 17% compared to YTD 2Q'22.
Diluted earnings per share decreased in line with the decrease in net income attributable to KBR. Adjusted earnings per share2 increased due to increases in gross profit and equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.
Operating cash flows were $288 million, up 35% compared to YTD 2Q'22.
Capital returned to shareholders totaled $172 million during the year to date period, consisting of $137 million in share repurchases, inclusive of $125 million of open market repurchases and $12 million of repurchases to satisfy requirements of equity compensation plans, and $35 million in regular dividends.
Cash Settlement Method Election and Repurchase of Convertible Notes
During the quarter, KBR made an irrevocable election to use cash as the settlement method (as opposed to shares or a combination of cash and shares) to settle the principal and any excess value upon early conversion or maturity of the $350 million principal amount of convertible notes due November 2023. This election triggered a change in accounting treatment for both the convertible notes and the related note hedge. Previously these instruments qualified for an equity exemption under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging because share settlement was an available option. However, as of the date of the cash settlement election, the convertible notes and the related hedge no longer qualified for this exemption, and as a result, the conversion option of the convertible notes and the note hedge required fair value measurement on the date of such election.
Additionally, during the quarter, we entered into privately-negotiated transactions to repurchase $100 million in principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes, as well as the partial unwind agreements to terminate the corresponding portions of the note hedge and warrants.
As a result of the above cash settlement method election and partial repurchase, we recorded a $302 million loss composed of a $104 million loss on derivative bifurcation, a $70 million loss on debt extinguishment, and a $128 million charge related to the accretion of convertible notes debt discount. Additionally, as a result of the partial unwind agreements, we recorded a $12 million loss on settlement of warrants. These amounts, totaling $314 million, are recorded within "Charges associated with Convertible Notes" on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Refer to Note 18 "Cash Election and Repurchase of Convertible Notes" in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 for further details.
The impact of the accounting treatment does not change the economics or expected cash outflows or inflows associated with the convertible notes, note hedge or warrants.
Other Deployment Matters
During the quarter, KBR settled a legacy legal matter pending in federal court. Under the terms of the settlement, KBR denies any liability or wrongful conduct. As a result of the settlement, a charge of $144 million was recorded in operating income in the current quarter. Payment of the settlement amount occurred in July 2023.
Updated Fiscal 2023 Guidance
The table below summarizes updated fiscal 2023 guidance and represents our views as of July 27, 2023.
Updated Fiscal 2023 Guidance | Prior Fiscal 2023 Guidance | |
| Revenue | $6.9B - $7.1B | $6.9B - $7.1B |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $730M - $750M | $715M - $745M |
| Adjusted EPS* | $2.76 - $2.96 | $2.76 - $2.96 |
| Effective tax rate | 24% - 25% | 24% - 25% |
| Adjusted operating cash flows | $425M - $460M | $425M - $460M |
* Fiscal 2023Adjusted EPS guidance is calculated using a share count of approximately 138 million.
The company does not provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, or Adjusted operating cash flows 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.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain amounts included in the calculation of net income (loss) 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 by adjusting operating cash flow provided by operating activities for items included in the table below.
