Press Release

HOUSTON - (February 2, 2016) - KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) announced today it has been awarded a major contract to support Ascent Flight Training in the delivery of the United Kingdom Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) program with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), under a Joint Venture with Elbit Systems named Affinity. The UKMFTS program is an innovative partnering agreement between UK Front Line Commands, UK MOD, Ascent and other leading industry partners to deliver aircrew training for the 21st century.

KBR's joint venture with Elbit Systems-Affinity Flying Training Services-has been appointed to optimise the fixed wing flying training provision for the UK MOD and to reduce the cost of pilot training. Affinity will procure, operate and maintain aircraft, and aircraft related infrastructure, through to 2033. The training aircraft will be the Grob G 120TP 'Prefect' for elementary flying training, the Beechcraft 'Texan' T-6C for basic flying training, and the Embraer 'Phenom' 100 for multi-engine pilot training.

"We are excited to be a part of this significant project and to continue to grow and maintain a substantial presence in the United Kingdom," said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. "This win is indicative of KBR's strategic commitment to focus on long-term services contracts with annuity streams in its Government Services segment particularly for the UK Government."

Affinity, under the leadership of Managing Director Iain Chalmers, will manage and deliver the full fixed wing training aircraft fleet and maintenance program. Affinity's service will support the UKMFTS desire to download training tasks from front-line aircraft to cost effective training aircraft and provide the required step-change in aircraft turn around and scheduling to support optimisation of aircrew training hours. Thirty-eight modern, glass cockpit aircraft will be delivered in a phased approach over the next three years comprising 23 Grob G 120TP 'Prefects', 10 Beechcraft 'Texan' T-6Cs s and 5 Embraer 'Phenom' 100 jets-all featuring digital cockpits, exposing students at an early stage to the technologies they will rely on at the operational level.

Revenue associated with this project is estimated to be around £500 million which will be split evenly between the two joint venture partners. Approximately £250 million in revenue from this project will be booked into the backlog of KBR's Government Services segment in Q1 of 2016.
