HOUSTON, TX - February 22, 2022 - KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) today announced its fourth quarter and FY 2021 financial results and initiated attractive FY 2022 financial guidance.

“KBR had a stellar 2021 delivering significant progress toward its 2025 growth strategy," said Stuart Bradie, President and CEO of KBR. "Throughout the year, our Team of Teams posted outstanding performance across all key metrics – organic revenue growth, earnings expansion, cash generation, new program wins, and Zero Harm. We extended our high-end capabilities in attractive, growing end markets across international defense and renewable energy with the acquisition of Frazer-Nash Consultancy, and we formed important alliances to advance ground-breaking technology to close the circular plastics loop and make carbon-free energy a reality. Our business benefits from strong end market momentum in areas of global importance, such as defense modernization and climate change, and combined with our deep domain expertise and culture of innovation, KBR is well positioned for near-, mid- and long-term growth."

“We are proud to have achieved carbon neutrality for a second consecutive year on a path toward net zero carbon by 2030. At KBR, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond and includes leveraging our expertise to help others achieve their sustainability goals, thus creating value for all stakeholders. Our people-centered culture is at the heart of our strategic evolution into a forward-leaning, sustainability-driven, agile business focused on solving our clients’ most complex issues and challenges through our IP, deep domain expertise and innovative solutions. I would like to thank the people of KBR for their agility, perseverance and commitment to delivering solutions that matter.”

Financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2021

• Revenue of $7.3 billion, a 27% increase compared to 2020, 18% organic, is primarily attributable to the following:
  • Government Solutions posted $6.1 billion of revenue, a 52% increase over 2020, 36% organic. The increase in revenue is attributable to organic growth delivered across each of our government businesses, including work supporting Operation Allies Welcome ("OAW") and the acquisition of Centauri in October 2020. In late 2021, KBR was awarded multiple task orders to support OAW, a historic humanitarian effort for the U.S. Department of Defense ("DOD") to facilitate the rapid development of vital, temporary infrastructure at military bases in the U.S. and abroad to accommodate thousands of displaced Afghans. We expect this non-recurring OAW work to be substantially completed in early 2022.
  • Sustainable Technology Solutions posted $1.2 billion of revenue in 2021, in line with our guided annual revenue expectations for this business following the company's 2020 exit from commoditized services.
• Gross profit, net income attributable to KBR, adj. EBITDA, and adj. EPS increased in line with the items described above as well as the following:
  • Excluding the impact of OAW, core Government Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions profit contributions and adj. EBITDA margins were in line with management's expectations for the year. Margins in Government Solutions continue to reflect strong project execution and strong CPAR performance and award fee scores in challenging technical areas that reflect high customer satisfaction. The Sustainable Technology Solutions segment performance reflected planned ramp down of legacy projects while producing growth in higher margin areas. OAW task orders are cost-reimbursable with lower than normative EBITDA margins that result in some margin dilution but with meaningful contributions to net income attributable to KBR, adj. EBITDA and adj. EPS.
  • In October 2021, we announced that our JKC joint venture entered into a binding settlement agreement that resolved outstanding claims and disputes between JKC and its client. The settlement agreement is an important de-risking event that reduces uncertainty, reduces future legal costs, frees up management time, and increases deployment optionality. In connection with this settlement, KBR recorded a non-cash charge of $193 million and a $10 million charge for warranty items. Consistent with the company's practice, these amounts have been excluded from adj. EBITDA and adj. EPS. This settlement does not impact pursuit of, or positions related to, subcontractor claims associated with the combined cycle power plant for which the company continues to expect a favorable cash award upon resolution.
  • In the 2nd quarter of 2021, the company benefited from the net favorable resolution of legacy matters in Sustainable Technology Solutions that resulted in a net benefit of $16 million with attendant favorable operating cash flow.
  • In 2020, net income attributable to KBR was impacted by non-cash restructuring and impairment charges of $214 million and goodwill impairment charges of $99 million that did not recur in 2021 in connection with the transformation of its operating model to narrow its strategic focus and reduce risk. These amounts have been excluded from adj. EBITDA and adj. EPS.
  • SG&A of $393 million increased 17% over 2020 primarily attributable to the acquisition of Centauri in late 2020, as well as an increase in corporate expenses associated with return to the office, increased travel, and other initiatives, all in line with management's expectations.
  • Adj. EPS increased 40% in line with the items described above, as well as favorable jurisdictional tax mix and increased utilization of foreign tax credits.

Recent Developments and New Business

In the year ended December 31, 2021, the company won $7.8 billion of awards and options, including the following:

• Over $800 million of task orders under IAC-MAC to provide cutting edge R&D and defense modernization support;

During the year, KBR completed the strategic acquisition of Frazer-Nash Consultancy, repurchased $82 million of its common shares, and paid $61 million in shareholder dividends.

KBR is pleased to announce an increase to its quarterly dividend beginning in 2022 to $0.12 per share, a 9% increase over 2021 levels and a 50% increase since 2019.
