Forward Looking Statements
The statements in this press release that are not historical statements, including statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, targets, investments, capital deployment, risk profile, program activity, backlog information, returns, capital requirements, future events, future financial performance and future demand expectations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond the company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the statements. These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Form 10-Qs and 8-Ks and other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, which discuss some of the important risks, uncertainties and assumptions that the company has identified that may affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. Due to such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial measures identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, such non-GAAP financial information should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to the historical financial information of the company, if any, prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adj. EBITDA, Adj. EBITDA Margin and Cumulative Deployable Free Cash
Adj. EBITDA and Adj. EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. EBITDA is defined as Net income attributable to KBR, plus Interest expense; Accretion of Convertible Notes debt discounts; Other non-operating expense; Provision for income taxes; and Depreciation and amortization. Adj. EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in EBITDA. Adj. EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adj. EBITDA divided by Revenues. Management believes Adj. EBITDA and Adj. EBITDA margin afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core performance.
The company does not provide a reconciliation of Adj. EBITDA, Adj. EBITDA margin and cumulative deployable free cash 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, capital expenditures, and acquisition-related expenses without unreasonable effort, which could be material to the company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.
