Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Consolidated Results Review
(All comparisons against the second quarter fiscal 2024 unless noted.)

Results herein are reported on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. The results of HomeSafe Alliance (“HomeSafe”) are presented as discontinued operations due to the contract termination and subsequent wind down of the joint venture. Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons to the prior year’s results have been adjusted to present HomeSafe as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 17 "Discontinued Operations" in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 4, 2025 for further details.

Revenues were $2.0 billion, up 6% or $105 million, primarily driven by growth in Defense & Intel, fueled by the LinQuest acquisition.

Operating income was $194 million, up 8% or $14 million, primarily due to increases in Gross profit and Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates due to strong project execution on an LNG project, partially offset by increases in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net income attributable to KBR (including loss from discontinued operations) was $73 million, down 31% or $33 million, primarily related to the HomeSafe contract termination.

Net income attributable to KBR from continuing operations was $105 million, down 1% or 1 million, due to the increase in Operating income noted above, offset by higher below the line expenses.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to KBR (including loss from discontinued operations) were $0.56, down 29% or $0.23, in line with decreased Net income attributable to KBR (including loss from discontinued operations) noted above.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.81, up 3% or $0.02, in line with Net income from continuing operations noted above and lower diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to open market share repurchases.

Adjusted EBITDA2 was $242 million, up 12% or $26 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating income noted above. Adjusted EBITDA2 margin was 12.4%, up from the prior year due to strong operating performance in the current year period.

Adjusted earnings per share2 were $0.91, up 10% or $0.08, due to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA2 noted above and lower adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding due to open market share repurchases, partially offset by higher below the line expenses.

Backlog and options as of the quarter end totaled $21.6 billion. Book-to-bill1 was 0.9x for the quarter and 1.0x on a trailing-twelve-months basis.

Revising Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance
KBR is revising the previously provided outlook for the HomeSafe Alliance JV contract termination, reductions in EUCOM and logistics, and protest resolution delays.

  Updated Fiscal Year
2025 Guidance
Prior Fiscal Year
2025 Guidance
Revenues $7.9B - $8.1B $8.7B - $9.1B
Adjusted EBITDA $960M - $980M $950M - $990M
Adjusted EPS $3.78 - $3.88 $3.71 - $3.95
Operating cash flows $500M - $550M $500M - $550M
     

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.

Updating Fiscal Year 2027 Financial Targets
KBR is updating its long-term financial targets for the HomeSafe Alliance JV contract termination.

  Updated Fiscal Year
2027 Targets
Prior Fiscal Year
2027 Targets
Revenues $9.0B+ $11.5B+
MTS Revenues CAGR 5% - 8% 11% - 15%
STS Revenue CAGR 11% - 15% 11% - 15%
Adjusted EBITDA $1.15B+ $1.15B+
     
Adjusted EBITDA margin 11%+ 10% - 11%
MTS Adjusted EBITDA margin 10%+ 9% - 10%
STS Adjusted EBITDA margin 20%+ ~20%
Operating cash flows $650M+ $700M+
2024-2027 Cumulative deployable free cash ~$2.0B ~$2.0B
     

CAGR reflects 2023A-2027E.
OCF target reflects 27% effective tax rate and interest rates consistent with 2025.
Cumulative deployable free cash reflects 2024A-2027E cumulative OCF less capital expenditures of 0.5% to 0.75% of annual revenues.

The company does not provide a reconciliation of Adj. EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure 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.

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 Net (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; less Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest included in discontinued operations; less Interest expense; 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 from continuing operations; 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 six-month periods ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024 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 six-month periods ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024 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 July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024 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 July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance for the comparable periods.

Operating Cash Conversion

Operating cash conversion is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules. Operating cash conversion is calculated as Operating cash flows from continuing operations divided by Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding, which is then divided by Adjusted earnings per share. Management believes that Operating cash conversion affords investors a view of what management considers KBR's core operating cash flow performance for each of the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024 and also afford investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core operating cash generation performance.
