FLUOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

(1)                  Principles of Consolidation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include footnotes and certain financial information normally presented annually under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the company’s December 31, 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of results that can be expected for the full year.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly its consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. During the first half of 2018, the operations of the company’s mining and metals business, previously included in the Energy & Chemicals segment, have been included in the Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment. Therefore, certain amounts disclosed in 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. Management has evaluated all material events occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements up to the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 (ASC Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method in which the new guidance was applied retrospectively to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2018 have been presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance. See Note 3 for a further discussion of the adoption and the impact on the company’s financial statements.

 

(2)                  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

New accounting pronouncements implemented by the company during the first half of 2018 are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted ASU 2014-09 (ASC Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related ASUs. See Note 3 for a further discussion of the adoption and the impact on the company’s financial statements.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU amends the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) hedge accounting model to enable entities to better portray their risk management activities in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 expands an entity’s ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components and eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted ASU 2017-09, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Entities should apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” ASU 2017-07 requires employers to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07, the service cost component of net periodic pension expense has been presented in “Total cost of revenue” and the other components of net periodic pension expense have been presented in “Corporate general and administrative expense” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three and six

UNAUDITED

 

months ended June 30, 2018. Amounts in the 2017 period have not been reclassified to conform to the new presentation as the impact to the results of operations was not material. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. ASU 2017-01 requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” ASU 2016-18 requires an entity to include in its cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have any impact on the company’s cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230, which often requires judgment to determine the appropriate classification of cash flows as operating, investing or financing activities, and has resulted in diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have any impact on the company’s cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments — Overall — Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and to recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for a practicability exception. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

New accounting pronouncements requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which gives entities the option to reclassify the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the enactment of comprehensive tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2018-02 will have on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current practice with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,” and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in September 2017 within ASU 2017-13 which continues to amend the existing guidance on accounting for leases. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. ASU 2016-02 also requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new guidance will be applied to leases that exist or are entered into on or after January 1, 2019 without adjusting comparative periods in the financial statements. Management is

currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

(3)                  Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” including the following ASUs:

 

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 outlines a five-step process for revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards, and also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Major provisions include determining which goods and services are distinct and represent separate performance obligations, how variable consideration (which may include change orders and claims) is recognized, whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time and ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price.

 

ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” clarifies the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08 clarifies how an entity determines whether to report revenue gross or net based on whether it controls a specific good or service before it is transferred to a customer. ASU 2016-08 also reframes the indicators to focus on evidence that an entity is acting as a principal rather than as an agent.

 

ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 amends how an entity should identify performance obligations for immaterial promised goods or services, shipping and handling activities and promises that may represent performance obligations. ASU 2016-10 also provides implementation guidance for determining the nature of licensing and royalties arrangements.

 

ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” also clarifies certain aspects of ASU 2014-09 including the assessment of collectability, presentation of sales taxes, treatment of noncash consideration, and accounting for completed contracts and contract modifications at transition.

 

ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” allows an entity to determine the provision for loss contracts at either the contract level or the performance obligation level as an accounting policy election. The company determines its provision for loss contracts at the contract level.

 

ASU 2017-05, “Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” clarifies that the scope and application of ASC 610-20 on accounting for the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales, applies only when the asset (or asset group) does not meet the definition of a business.

 

ASU 2017-13, “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments” provides guidance related to the effective dates of the ASUs noted above.

 

The company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, and accordingly the new guidance was applied retrospectively to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018 (the date of initial application). As a result, the company has recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $339 million as of January 1, 2018 as well as the following cumulative effect adjustments:

 

·                  A decrease to accounts receivable of $50 million;

·                  A decrease to contract assets of $19 million;

·                  A decrease to investments of $4 million;

·                  A decrease to other assets of $14 million;

·                  An increase to contract liabilities of $357 million;

·                  A decrease to other accrued liabilities of $14 million;

·                  A decrease to noncurrent liabilities of $1 million;

·                  An increase to deferred tax assets of $89 million; and

·                  A decrease to noncontrolling interests of $1 million.

 

The decrease in retained earnings primarily resulted from a change in the manner in which the company determines the unit of account for its projects (i.e., performance obligations). Under the previous guidance, the company typically segmented revenue and margin recognition between the engineering and construction phases of its contracts. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 606, engineering and construction contracts are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance obligation), resulting in a more constant recognition of revenue and margin over the term of the contract. In accordance with ASU 2017-13, certain of the company’s unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will not adopt ASC Topic 606 until January 1, 2019, at which time the company will record a cumulative effect adjustment which is not expected to be significant.

Update to Major Accounting Policies

 

Upon adoption of ASC Topic 606, the company revised its accounting policy on revenue recognition from the policy provided in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The revised accounting policy on revenue recognition is provided below.

 

Engineering & Construction Contracts and Service Contracts

 

The company recognizes engineering and construction contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Engineering and construction contracts are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance obligation) and are not segmented between types of services. The company recognizes revenue using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. The percentage-of-completion method (an input method) is the most faithful depiction of the company’s performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer. Cost of revenue includes an allocation of depreciation and amortization. Customer-furnished materials, labor and equipment and, in certain

cases, subcontractor materials, labor and equipment, are included in revenue and cost of revenue when management believes that the company is acting as a principal rather than as an agent (i.e., the company integrates the materials, labor and equipment into the deliverables promised to the customer). Customer-furnished materials are only included in revenue and cost when the contract includes construction activity and the company has visibility into the amount the customer is paying for the materials or there is a reasonable basis for estimating the amount. The company recognizes revenue, but not profit, on certain uninstalled materials that are not specifically produced, fabricated, or constructed for a project. Revenue on these uninstalled materials is recognized when the cost is incurred (when control is transferred). Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the client. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Customer payments on engineering and construction contracts are typically due within 30 to 45 days of billing, depending on the contract.

 

For service contracts (including maintenance contracts) in which the company has the right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the company’s performance completed to date, revenue is recognized when services are performed and contractually billable. For all other service contracts, the company recognizes revenue over time using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method. Service contracts that include multiple performance obligations are segmented between types of services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract. Revenue recognized on service contracts that have not been billed to clients is classified as a current asset under contract assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are classified as a current liability under contract liabilities. Customer payments on service contracts are typically due within 30 to 90 days of billing, depending on the contract.

 

Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed and include unbilled receivables (typically for cost reimbursable contracts) of $1.3 billion and contract work in progress (typically for fixed-price contracts) of $273 million as of June 30, 2018. Unbilled receivables, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are reclassified to accounts receivable when they are billed under the terms of the contract. Advances that are payments on account of contract assets of $650 million and $337 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, have been deducted from contract assets. Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date. The company recognized revenue of $639 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 that was included in contract liabilities as of January 1, 2018. The company anticipates that substantially all incurred cost associated with contract assets as of June 30, 2018 will be billed and collected within one year.

 

Variable Consideration

 

The nature of the company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims and unpriced change orders; awards and incentive fees; and liquidated damages and penalties. The company recognizes revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using the expected value (i.e., the sum of a probability-weighted amount) or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. If the requirements for recognizing revenue for claims or unapproved change orders are met, revenue is recorded only when the costs associated with the claims or unapproved change orders have been incurred. Back charges to suppliers or subcontractors are recognized as a reduction of cost when it is determined that recovery of such cost is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Disputed back charges are recognized when the same requirements described above for claims accounting have been satisfied.

 

The company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its engineering and construction contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the company’s work on a project. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred.

Practical Expedients

 

If the company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the company’s performance completed to date (a service contract in which the company bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided), the company recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice for services performed.

 

The company does not adjust the contract price for the effects of a significant financing component if the company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the company transfers a service to a customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less.

 

The company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by the company from its customers (use taxes, value added taxes, some excise taxes).

 

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

 

The company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RUPO”) as of June 30, 2018 represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The company had $26.9 billion in RUPO as of June 30, 2018.

 

The company expects to satisfy its RUPO as of June 30, 2018 over the following periods (in millions):

Although RUPO reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. RUPO is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate.

(5)                   Income Taxes

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduced the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate down to 21% from 35%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. The company applied the guidance in SAB 118 when accounting for the enactment date effects of the Tax Act, which allowed the company to make reasonable estimates at December 31, 2017. Given the complexity of the Tax Act, the company is still evaluating the tax impact and obtaining the information required to complete its accounting. Accordingly, all amounts recognized associated with the Tax Act during the first half of 2018 are provisional. Changes to the provisional estimates of the Tax Act will be recorded as a discrete item in the interim period the amounts are considered complete.

 

The Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on Global Intangible Low Taxes Income (“GILTI”) earned by foreign subsidiaries.  The company has not yet determined its accounting policy with respect to GILTI and has therefore included the estimate of current quarter GILTI entirely as a period cost.

 

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were 28.6 percent and 31.8 percent, respectively, compared to 72.3 percent and (1.8) percent for the corresponding periods of 2017. The effective rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which reflected the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate enacted by the Tax Act, were unfavorably impacted by higher tax rates on foreign earnings and the inability to offset the losses recognized in certain jurisdictions against the income recognized in other jurisdictions. The effective rates for the three and six months ended June 30,

2017 benefitted from a worthless stock deduction on an insolvent foreign subsidiary. All periods benefitted from earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not typically the responsibility of the company.

 

The company conducts business globally and, as a result, the company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Although the company believes its reserves for its tax positions are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits could be materially different, both favorably and unfavorably. With a few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2013.

 

(6)                   Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes

 

Cash paid for interest was $36 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Income tax payments, net of refunds, were $42 million and $159 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

(7)                   Earnings Per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) reflects the assumed exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. The calculations of the basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are presented below:

(8)                  Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

·

Level 1 —

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

·

Level 2 —

inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable, either directly or indirectly

·

Level 3 —

unobservable inputs

 

The company measures and reports assets and liabilities at fair value utilizing pricing information received from third parties. The company performs procedures to verify the reasonableness of pricing information received for significant assets and liabilities classified as Level 2.

 

The following table presents, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels required under ASC 820-10, the company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

(1)     Consists of registered money market funds and investment in U.S. agency securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The fair value of the money market funds represents the net asset value of the shares of such funds as of the close of business at the end of the period. The fair value of the investments in U.S. agency securities is based on pricing models, which are determined from a compilation of primarily observable market information, broker quotes in non-active markets or similar assets.

The company’s financial instruments presented in the table above included available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2017. The available-for-sale securities were made up of the following security types as of December 31, 2017: money market funds of $1 million, U.S. agency securities of $3 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $69 million, corporate debt securities of $97 million and commercial paper of $3 million. The amortized cost of these available-for-sale securities was not materially different from the fair value. The company determined that there was no other-than-temporary impairment of available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $175 million. There were no sales or maturities of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $19 million and $44 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

(1)    Cash consists of bank deposits. Carrying amounts approximate fair value.

 

(2)     Cash equivalents consist of held-to-maturity time deposits with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The carrying amounts of these time deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

(3)     Marketable securities, current consist of held-to-maturity time deposits with original maturities greater than three months that will mature within one year. The carrying amounts of these time deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Amortized cost is not materially different from the fair value.

 

(4)     Notes receivable are carried at net realizable value which approximates fair value. Factors considered by the company in determining the fair value include the credit worthiness of the borrower, current interest rates, the term of the note and any collateral pledged as security. Notes receivable are periodically assessed for impairment.

 

(5)    The fair value of the 1.750% Senior Notes, 3.375% Senior Notes and 3.5% Senior Notes is estimated based on quoted market prices for similar issues.

The carrying amount of borrowings under these arrangements approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity.

 

(9)                  Derivatives and Hedging

 

The company limits exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in most of its engineering and construction contracts through provisions that require client payments in currencies corresponding to the currencies in which cost is incurred. Certain financial exposure, which includes currency and commodity price risk associated with engineering and construction contracts, currency risk associated with monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies and risk associated with interest rate volatility, may subject the company to earnings volatility. In cases where financial exposure is identified, the company generally implements a hedging strategy utilizing derivative instruments or hedging instruments to mitigate the risk. The company’s hedging instruments are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The company formally documents its hedge relationships at inception, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction, and the initial quantitative assessment of the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items. The company subsequently assesses hedge effectiveness qualitatively, unless the facts and circumstances of the hedge relationship change to an extent that the company can no longer assert qualitatively that the hedge is highly effective. The fair values of all hedging instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. For fair value hedges, the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is offset against the change in the fair value of the underlying asset or liability through earnings. For cash flow hedges, the hedging instrument’s gain or loss due to changes in fair value is recorded as a component of AOCI and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged item settles. For derivatives that are not designated or do not qualify as hedging instruments, the change in the fair value of the derivative is offset against the change in the fair value of the underlying asset or liability through earnings. The company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Under ASC 815, in certain limited circumstances, foreign currency payment provisions could be deemed embedded derivatives. If an embedded foreign currency derivative is identified, the derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and the change in fair value is recognized through earnings. The company maintains master netting arrangements with certain counterparties to facilitate the settlement of derivative instruments; however, the company reports the fair value of derivative instruments on a gross basis.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the company had total gross notional amounts of $593 million of foreign currency contracts outstanding (primarily related to the British Pound, Kuwaiti Dinar, Indian Rupee, Philippine Peso and South Korean Won) that were designated as hedging instruments. The foreign currency contracts are of varying duration, none of which extend beyond April 2020. There were no commodity contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

 

The fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Amounts in the 2017 period have not been reclassified to conform to the new presentation as the impact to the results of operations was not material.

 

In the third quarter of 2018, the company expects to execute a buy-in policy contract with an insurance company to fully insure the benefits of the defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom. The initial value of the insurance asset will be equal to the premium paid to secure the policy (i.e., the fair value of the plan assets plus estimated additional funding to execute the buy-in contract). Once the additional funding for the buy-in is contributed, the company does not anticipate any further material contributions to the U.K. plan. The fair value of the insurance asset will be adjusted quarterly to mirror the change in the benefit obligation.

 

The company currently expects to contribute up to $45 million into its defined benefit pension plans during 2018, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required and includes additional funding to execute the buy-in contract for the U.K. plan, as discussed above. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, contributions of approximately $9 million were made by the company.

 

(11)            Financing Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2018, the company had both committed and uncommitted lines of credit available to be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. As of June 30, 2018, letters of credit and borrowings totaling $1.6 billion were outstanding under these committed and uncommitted lines of credit. The committed lines of credit include a $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility and a $1.8 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility. Both facilities mature in February 2022. The company may utilize up to $1.75 billion in the aggregate of the combined $3.5 billion committed lines of credit for revolving loans, which may be used for acquisitions and/or general purposes. Each of the credit facilities may be increased up to an additional $500 million subject to certain conditions, and contains customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to tangible net worth of one-to-one and a cap on the aggregate amount of debt of the greater of $750 million or €750 million for the company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under both facilities, which may be denominated in USD, EUR, GBP or CAD, bear interest at rates based on the Eurodollar Rate or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin.

 

In connection with the Stork acquisition, the company assumed a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility that bore interest at EURIBOR plus 3.75%. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility which was used for revolving loans, bank guarantees, letters of credit and to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility, which bore interest at EURIBOR plus .75%, expired in April 2017. Outstanding borrowings of $53 million under the €125 million Revolving Credit Facility were repaid in 2017.

 

Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily to indemnify the company’s clients if the company fails to perform its obligations under its contracts. Surety bonds may be used as an alternative to letters of credit.

 

In March 2016, the company issued €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes (the “2016 Notes”) due March 21, 2023 and received proceeds of €497 million (or approximately $551 million), net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2016 Notes is payable annually on March 21 of each year, beginning on March 21, 2017. Prior to December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Additionally, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at any time upon the occurrence of certain changes in U.S. tax laws, as described in the indenture, at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

In November 2014, the company issued $500 million of 3.5% Senior Notes (the “2014 Notes”) due December 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $491 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and began on June 15, 2015. Prior to September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In September 2011, the company issued $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes (the “2011 Notes”) due September 15, 2021 and received proceeds of $492 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2011 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and began on March 15, 2012. The company may, at any time, redeem the 2011 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture.

 

For the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes, if a change of control triggering event occurs, as defined by the terms of the respective indentures, the company will be required to offer to purchase the applicable notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The company is generally not limited under the indentures governing the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness provided the company is in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions. We may, from time to time, repurchase the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes or the 2011 Notes in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

 

During the second quarter of 2018, the company issued commercial paper to meet its short-term liquidity needs. Approximately $50 million in commercial paper was outstanding as of June 30, 2018 with a weighted average interest rate of 2.43%. All of the company’s outstanding commercial paper matures within one month.

 

Other borrowings of $34 million as of June 30, 2018 and $31 million as of December 31, 2017 primarily represent bank loans and other financing arrangements associated with Stork.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants related to its debt agreements.

 

(12)           Stock-Based Plans

 

The company’s executive and director stock-based compensation plans are described, and informational disclosures are provided, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the first half of 2018 and 2017, restricted stock units totaling 603,111 and 402,783, respectively, were granted to executives and directors, at weighted-average grant date fair values of $57.88 per share and $52.57 per share, respectively. Restricted stock units granted to executives in 2018 and 2017 generally vest ratably over three years. Restricted stock units granted to directors in 2018 vested immediately while restricted stock units granted to directors in 2017 vested on the first anniversary of the grant. Restricted stock units awarded to directors in 2018 and 2017 and certain executives in 2017 are subject to a post-vest holding period of three years. The fair value of restricted stock units represents the closing price of the company’s common stock on the date of grant discounted for the post-vest holding period, when applicable.

 

During the first half of 2018 and 2017, stock options for the purchase of 33,615 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $58.15 per share and 1,103,817 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $55.35 per share, respectively, were awarded to executives. The exercise price of options represents the closing price of the company’s common stock on the date of grant. The options granted in 2018 and 2017 vest ratably over three years and expire ten years after the grant date.

 

In the first half of 2018 and 2017, performance-based Value Driver Incentive (“VDI”) units totaling 206,598 and 249,204, respectively, were awarded to executives. These awards vest after a period of approximately three years and contain annual performance conditions for each of the three years of the vesting period. The performance targets for each year are generally established in the first quarter of that year. Under ASC 718, performance-based awards are not deemed granted for accounting purposes until the performance targets have been established. Accordingly, only one-third of the units awarded in any given

year are deemed to be granted each year of the three year vesting period. During the first half of 2018, units totaling 68,866, 72,601 and 90,931 under the 2018, 2017 and 2016 VDI plans, respectively, were granted at weighted-average grant date fair values of $66.38 per share, $56.30 per share and $52.31 per share, respectively. VDI units granted under the 2017 and 2016 VDI plans are subject to a post-vest holding period of three years. The grant date fair value is determined by adjusting the closing price of the company’s common stock on the date of grant for the post-vest holding period discount and for the effect of the market condition, when applicable. For awards granted under the 2018 and 2017 VDI plans, the number of units will be adjusted at the end of each performance period based on achievement of certain performance targets and market conditions, as defined in the VDI award agreements. For awards granted under the 2016 VDI plan, the number of units is adjusted at the end of each performance period based only on the achievement of certain performance targets, as defined in the VDI award agreement. Units granted under the 2018, 2017 and 2016 VDI plans can only be settled in company stock and are accounted for as equity awards in accordance with ASC 718.

 

(13)           Noncontrolling Interests

 

The company applies the provisions of ASC 810-10-45, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net earnings attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.

 

As required by ASC 810-10-45, the company has separately disclosed on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for all periods presented the amount of net earnings attributable to the company and the amount of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $16 million and $22 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $17 million and $34 million, respectively. Income taxes associated with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $2.3 million and $2.7 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Income taxes associated with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were immaterial in both periods of 2017. Distributions paid to noncontrolling interests were $32 million and $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Capital contributions by noncontrolling interests were $4 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

(14)           Contingencies and Commitments

 

The company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to litigation, claims and other commitments and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the asserted value of these matters may be significant, the company currently does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any open matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2018, a purported shareholder filed a complaint against Fluor Corporation and certain of its current and former executives in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The plaintiff purports to represent a class of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Fluor common stock from August 14, 2013 through May 3, 2018, and seeks to recover damages arising from alleged violations of federal securities laws. At this time, the company has not been served with the complaint. The company believes that the claims asserted in the complaint are without merit.

 

Fluor Australia Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company (“Fluor Australia”), completed a cost reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services project for Santos Ltd. (“Santos”) involving a large network of natural gas gathering and processing facilities in Queensland, Australia. On December 13, 2016, Santos filed an action in Queensland Supreme Court against Fluor Australia, asserting various causes of action and seeking damages of approximately AUD $1.47 billion. Santos has joined Fluor Corporation to the matter on the basis of a parent company guarantee issued for the project. The company believes that the claims asserted by Santos are without merit and is vigorously defending these claims. Based upon the present status of this matter, the company does not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, the company has not recorded a charge as a result of this action.

 

Other Matters

 

The company has made claims arising from the performance under its contracts. The company recognizes revenue for certain claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on claims using the expected value (i.e., the sum of a probability-weighted amount) or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount. Factors considered in determining whether revenue

associated with claims should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable.  Similarly, the company recognizes disputed back charges to suppliers or subcontractors as a reduction of cost when the same requirements have been satisfied. The company periodically evaluates its positions and the amounts recognized with respect to all its claims and back charges. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the company had recorded $132 million and $124 million, respectively, of claim revenue for costs incurred to date and such costs are included in contract assets. Additional costs, which will increase the claim revenue balance over time, are expected to be incurred in future periods. The company had also recorded disputed back charges totaling $18 million as of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The company believes the ultimate recovery of amounts related to these claims and back charges is probable in accordance with ASC 606.

 

From time to time, the company enters into significant contracts with the U.S. government and its agencies. Government contracts are subject to audits and investigations by government representatives with respect to the company’s compliance with various restrictions and regulations applicable to government contractors, including but not limited to the allowability of costs incurred under reimbursable contracts. In connection with performing government contracts, the company maintains reserves for estimated exposures associated with these matters.

 

(15)           Guarantees

 

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated and consolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities. The performance guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the company could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees, which represents the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts, was estimated to be $13 billion as of June 30, 2018. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated cost to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed under the contract. For lump-sum or fixed-price contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, the company may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The company assessed its performance guarantee obligation as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 in accordance with ASC 460, “Guarantees,” and the carrying value of the liability was not material.

 

Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower’s obligation.

 

(16)           Partnerships and Joint Ventures

 

In the normal course of business, the company forms partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. The majority of these partnerships or joint ventures are characterized by a 50 percent or less, noncontrolling ownership or participation interest, with decision making and distribution of expected gains and losses typically being proportionate to the ownership or participation interest. Many of the partnership and joint venture agreements provide for capital calls to fund operations, as necessary. Accounts receivable related to work performed for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $116 million and $83 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Notes receivable from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” and “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $33 million and $22 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

For unconsolidated construction partnerships and joint ventures, the company generally recognizes its proportionate share of revenue, cost and profit in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and uses the one-line equity method of accounting on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which is a common application of ASC 810-10-45-14 in the construction industry. The company also executes projects through collaborative arrangements for which the company recognizes its relative share of revenue and cost. The equity method of accounting is also used for other investments in entities where the company has significant influence. The company’s investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures accounted for under these methods amounted to $866 million and $830 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and were classified under “Investments” and “Other accrued liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the company made a cash investment of $26 million in COOEC Fluor Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“CFHI”), a joint venture in which the company has a 49% ownership interest and Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, has 51% ownership interest. Through CFHI, the two companies own, operate and manage the Zhuhai Fabrication Yard in China’s Guangdong province. The company has a future funding commitment of $52 million.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation,” the company assesses its partnerships and joint ventures at inception to determine if any meet the qualifications of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The company considers a partnership or joint venture a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity), or (c) the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Upon the occurrence of certain events outlined in ASC 810, the company reassesses its initial determination of whether the partnership or joint venture is a VIE. The majority of the company’s partnerships and joint ventures qualify as VIEs because the total equity investment is typically nominal and not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.

 

The company also performs a qualitative assessment of each VIE to determine if the company is its primary beneficiary, as required by ASC 810. The company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE if the company has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The company considers the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties in determining if the company is the primary beneficiary. The company also considers all parties that have direct or implicit variable interests when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary. As required by ASC 810, management’s assessment of whether the company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is continuously performed.

 

The net carrying value of the unconsolidated VIEs classified under “Investments” and “Other accrued liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was a net asset of $252 million and $216 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Some of the company’s VIEs have debt; however, such debt is typically non-recourse in nature. The company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding necessary to satisfy the contractual obligations of the VIE. Future funding commitments as of June 30, 2018 for the unconsolidated VIEs were $65 million.

 

In some cases, the company is required to consolidate certain VIEs. As of June 30, 2018, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.3 billion and $909 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.2 billion and $700 million, respectively. The assets of a VIE are restricted for use only for the particular VIE and are not available for general operations of the company.

(17)            Operating Information by Segment

 

During the first quarter of 2018, the company changed the composition of its reportable segments to align them with the manner in which the chief executive officer manages the business and allocates resources. The operations of the company’s mining and metals business, previously included in the Energy & Chemicals segment, have been included in the Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment. The company now reports its operating results in the following four reportable segments: Energy & Chemicals; Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; Government; and Diversified Services. Segment operating information and assets for 2017 have been recast to reflect these changes.

 

The Energy & Chemicals segment focuses on opportunities in the upstream, midstream, downstream, chemical, petrochemical, offshore and onshore oil and gas production, liquefied natural gas and pipeline markets. This segment has long served a broad spectrum of industries as an integrated solutions provider offering a full range of design, engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and project management services.

 

The Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction and project management services to the mining and metals, transportation, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, water and power sectors. The operations of NuScale Power, LLC, which is managed as a separate operating segment, has been aggregated with the Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment for financial reporting purposes.

 

The Government and Diversified Services segments remain unchanged from the previous year and a description of these reportable segments is provided in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Operating information by reportable segment is as follows:

Energy & Chemicals. Segment profit for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was adversely affected by pre-tax charges totaling $67 million (or $0.47 per diluted share) resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth on a fixed-price downstream project.

 

Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power. Segment profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was adversely affected by pre-tax charges totaling $16 million (or $0.09 per diluted share) and $142 million (or $0.77 per diluted share), respectively, resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth for a fixed-price, gas-fired power plant project, while segment profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was adversely affected by pre-tax charges totaling $194 million (or $0.89 per diluted share) and $219 million (or $0.99 per diluted share), respectively, resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth for three fixed-price, gas-fired power plant projects.

 

Segment profit for all periods included the operations of NuScale, which are primarily for research and development activities associated with the licensing and commercialization of small modular nuclear reactor technology. As discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, NuScale has been receiving reimbursement of up to 43 percent for certain qualified expenditures under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) since May 2014. As of June 30, 2018, NuScale had recognized substantially all of the funding available under the initial cooperative agreement. In April 2018, the DOE announced that NuScale had been selected to receive an additional cost sharing award for $40 million under the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy’s U.S. Industry Opportunities for Advanced Nuclear Technology Development funding opportunity announcement (“FOA”). Based on the announcement and other correspondence from the DOE, the company believes it is probable that the award will be granted and that the company will satisfy the conditions of the award. As of June 30, 2018, the company has deferred certain expenditures that qualify for reimbursement under the FOA award.

 

NuScale expenses included in the determination of segment profit were $24 million and $47 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $17 million and $33 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. NuScale expenses were reported net of qualified reimbursable and deferred expenses totaling $12 million and $27 million for the three and six months periods of 2018, respectively, and $10 million and $20 million for the three and six month periods of 2017, respectively.

The increase in total assets in the Government segment resulted from increased working capital in support of project execution activities for the power restoration project in Puerto Rico.

 

Total assets in the Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment as of June 30, 2018 included accounts receivable related to two subcontracts with Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (“Westinghouse”) to manage the construction workforce at the Plant Vogtle and V.C. Summer nuclear power plant projects. On March 29, 2017, Westinghouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. In the third quarter of 2017, the V.C. Summer project was cancelled by the owner. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the remaining scope of work on the Plant Vogtle project was transferred to a new contractor. In addition to amounts due for post-petition services, total assets as of June 30, 2018 included amounts due of $66 million and $2 million for services provided to the V.C. Summer and Plant Vogtle projects, respectively, prior to the date of the bankruptcy petition. The company has filed mechanic’s liens in South Carolina against the property of the owner of the V.C. Summer project for amounts due for pre-petition services rendered to Westinghouse. Based on the company’s evaluation of available information, the company does not expect the close-out of these projects to have a material impact on the company’s results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes and the company’s December 31, 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For purposes of reviewing this document, “segment profit” is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests excluding: corporate general and administrative expense; interest expense; interest income; domestic and foreign income taxes; and other non-operating income and expense items.

 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements made herein, including statements regarding the company’s projected revenue and earnings levels, cash flow and liquidity, new awards and backlog levels and the implementation of strategic initiatives are forward-looking in nature. We wish to caution readers that forward-looking statements, including disclosures which use words such as the company “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from expectations. Factors potentially contributing to such differences include, among others:

 

·                  The cyclical nature of many of the markets the company serves, including our commodity-based business lines, and our  and our client’s vulnerability to downturns, which may result in decreased capital investment or expenditures and reduced demand for our services;

·                  The company’s failure to receive anticipated new contract awards and the related impact on revenue, earnings, staffing levels and cost;

·                  Failure to accurately estimate the resources and time necessary for our contracts, resulting in cost overruns or liabilities, including those caused by the performance of our clients, subcontractors, suppliers and joint venture or teaming partners;

·                  Failure to meet performance standards that could result in higher cost and reduced profits or, in some cases, losses on projects;

·                  Intense competition in the global engineering, procurement and construction industry, which can place downward pressure on our contract prices and profit margins and may increase our contractual risks;

·                  Failure of our joint venture partners to perform their venture obligations, which could impact the success of those ventures and impose additional financial and performance obligations on us, resulting in reduced profits or losses;

·                  Failure to obtain favorable results in existing or future litigation or dispute resolution proceedings (including claims for indemnification), or claims against project owners, subcontractors or suppliers;

·                  Cybersecurity breaches of our systems and information technology;

·                  Changes in global business, economic (including currency risk), political and social conditions;

·                  Civil unrest, security issues, labor conditions and other unforeseeable events in the countries in which we do business, resulting in unanticipated losses;

·                  Project cancellations, scope adjustments or deferrals, or foreign currency fluctuations, that could reduce the amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that the company earns;

·                  Client delays or defaults in making payments;

·                  Failure of our suppliers or subcontractors to provide supplies or services at the agreed-upon levels or times;

·                  Repercussions of events beyond our control, such as severe weather conditions, that may significantly affect operations, result in higher cost or subject the company to liability claims by our clients;

·                  Uncertainties, restrictions and regulations impacting our government contracts;

·                  Failure of our employees, agents or partners to comply with laws, which could result in harm to our reputation and reduced profits or losses;

·                  The potential impact of changes in tax laws and other tax matters including, but not limited to, those from foreign operations and the ongoing audits by tax authorities;

·                  Possible systems and information technology interruptions or the failure to adequately protect intellectual property rights;

·                  The impact of anti-bribery and international trade laws and regulations;

·                  The impact of new or changing legal requirements, as well as past and future environmental, health and safety regulations including climate change regulations;

·                  The failure to be adequately indemnified for our nuclear services;

·                  Foreign exchange risks;

·                  The availability of credit and restrictions imposed by credit facilities, both for the company and our clients, suppliers,

subcontractors or other partners;

·                  Failure to maintain safe work sites;

·                  The inability to hire and retain qualified personnel;

·                  Possible limitations of bonding or letter of credit capacity;

·                  The risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions or other investments, including the failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses;

·                  The company’s ability to secure appropriate insurance;

·                  Restrictions on possible transactions imposed by our charter documents and Delaware law.

 

Any forward-looking statements that we may make are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those anticipated by us. Any forward-looking statements are subject to the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results of operations, financial condition, cost reductions, acquisitions, dispositions, financing transactions, operations, expansion, consolidation and other events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

 

Due to known and unknown risks, the company’s actual results may differ materially from its expectations or projections. While most risks affect only future cost or revenue anticipated by the company, some risks may relate to accruals that have already been reflected in earnings. The company’s failure to receive payments of accrued amounts or incurrence of liabilities in excess of amounts previously recognized could result in a charge against future earnings. As a result, the reader is cautioned to recognize and consider the inherently uncertain nature of forward-looking statements and not to place undue reliance on them.

 

Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the company’s press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under the heading “Item 1A. — Risk Factors” in the company’s Form 10-K filed February 20, 2018. These filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, on the company’s website at http://investor.fluor.com or upon request from the company’s Investor Relations Department at (469) 398-7070. The company cannot control such risk factors and other uncertainties, and in many cases, cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties should be considered when evaluating the company and deciding whether to invest in its securities. Except as otherwise required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Summary

 

Consolidated revenue of $4.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased 4 percent compared to $4.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Revenue growth in the Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power, Government and Diversified Services segments was partially offset by revenue declines in the Energy & Chemicals segment. Consolidated revenue of $9.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased slightly compared to $9.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Revenue growth in the Government and Diversified Services segments was offset by revenue declines in the Energy & Chemicals and Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segments. The company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” on January 1, 2018.  The impact of adoption was an increase to the company’s revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $30 million and $32 million, respectively, primarily in the Energy & Chemicals segment. (See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

 

Net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation were $115 million and $97 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to a net loss attributable to Fluor Corporation of $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation of $37 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were adversely affected by after-tax charges totaling $80 million and $176 million, respectively, resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth at a fixed-price, gas-fired power plant project and a fixed-price downstream project. Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were adversely affected by after-tax charges totaling $124 million and $140 million, respectively, resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth at three fixed-price, gas-fired power plant projects. The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 was an increase to net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $23 million and $24 million, respectively, primarily in the Energy & Chemicals segment.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were 28.6 percent and 31.8 percent, respectively, compared to 72.3 percent and (1.8) percent for the corresponding periods of 2017. The effective rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which reflected the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate enacted by the Tax Act, were unfavorably impacted by higher tax rates on foreign earnings and the inability to offset the losses recognized in certain jurisdictions against the income recognized in other jurisdictions. The effective rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 benefitted from a worthless stock deduction on an insolvent foreign subsidiary. All periods benefitted from earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not typically the responsibility of the company.

 

Diluted earnings per share of $0.81 and $0.69 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.17 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and diluted earnings per share of $0.26 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were adversely affected by charges totaling $0.56 per diluted share and $1.24 per diluted share, respectively, resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth at a fixed-price, gas-fired power plant project and a fixed-price downstream project. Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were adversely affected by charges totaling $0.89 per diluted share and $0.99 per diluted share, respectively, resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth at three fixed-price, gas-fired power plant projects.

 

The company’s results reported by foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are affected by foreign currency volatility. When the U.S. dollar appreciates against the non-U.S. dollar functional currencies of these subsidiaries, the company’s reported revenue, cost and earnings, after translation into U.S. dollars, are lower than what they would have been had the U.S. dollar depreciated against the same foreign currencies or if there had been no change in the exchange rates.

 

The company’s margins, in some cases, may be favorably or unfavorably impacted by a change in the amount of materials and customer-furnished materials, which are accounted for as pass-through costs.

 

Consolidated new awards were $5.4 billion and $7.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to new awards of $3.2 billion and $5.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power and Energy & Chemicals segments were the major contributors to the new award activity in the first half of 2018. Approximately 78 percent of consolidated new awards for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were for projects located outside of the United States compared to 56 percent for the first half of 2017.

 

Consolidated backlog as of June 30, 2018 was $29.3 billion compared to $37.6 billion as of June 30, 2017. The decrease in backlog primarily resulted from the removal of a nuclear power plant project for Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (“Westinghouse”) as well as new award activity being outpaced by work performed. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 64 percent of consolidated backlog related to projects outside of the United States compared to 52 percent as of June 30, 2017. Although backlog reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. Backlog is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. Consolidated backlog differs from the company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RUPO”) discussed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Backlog includes the amount of revenue the company expects to recognize under ongoing operations and maintenance contracts for the remainder of the current year renewal period plus up to three additional years if renewal is considered to be probable, while RUPO includes only the amount of revenue the company expects to recognize under ongoing operations and maintenance contracts with definite terms and substantive termination provisions.

 

During the first quarter of 2018, the company changed the composition of its reportable segments to align them with the manner in which the chief executive officer manages the business and allocates resources. The operations of the company’s mining and metals business, previously included in the Energy & Chemicals segment, have been included in the Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment. The company now reports its operating results in the following four reportable segments: Energy & Chemicals; Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; Government; and Diversified Services. Segment operating information and assets for 2017 have been recast to reflect these changes.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by 6 percent and 8 percent, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, primarily due to reduced volume of project execution activity for several chemicals and downstream projects that were nearing completion in 2017. This revenue decline was partially offset by an increase in project execution activities for a large upstream project.

 

Segment profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by 21 percent and 2 percent compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. The decreases in segment profit for both periods resulted primarily from a $67 million charge for estimated cost growth on a fixed-price downstream project. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the impact of the charge was partially offset by the favorable impact of the adoption of ASC 606 and foreign exchange gains associated with the company’s joint venture in Mexico. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the impact of the charge was substantially offset by the favorable effect of close out adjustments for projects completed or nearing completion and the favorable impact of the adoption of ASC 606. Segment profit in all periods presented were favorably impacted by scope increases and cost improvements for a large upstream project. Segment profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 4.8 percent and 5.1 percent compared to 5.7 percent and 4.9 percent for the same periods in the prior year. The changes in segment profit margin in both periods were primarily due to the same factors that drove the changes in segment profit.

 

New awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $493 million and $1.2 billion compared to $742 million and $1.4 billion for the corresponding periods of 2017. Backlog of $12.4 billion as of June 30, 2018 decreased from $18.0 billion as of June 30, 2017. The reduction in backlog resulted primarily from new award activity being outpaced by work performed.

 

Total assets in the segment were at $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2018 compared to $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2017.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased by 13 percent compared to the same period in 2017. Revenue growth resulted primarily from new mining projects and increased project execution activity for certain existing mining & metals, infrastructure and life sciences & advance manufacturing projects. This revenue growth was partially offset by reduced levels of project execution activity for several power projects, including two nuclear projects that were cancelled during 2017. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 declined by 12 percent compared to the same period in the prior year, largely due to the reduced volume of project execution activity for the power projects discussed above. Revenue growth in the mining & metals, infrastructure and life sciences & advance manufacturing business lines partially offset the revenue decline in the power business line during the first half of 2018.

 

Segment profit and segment profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were adversely affected by charges totaling $16 million and $142 million, respectively, resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth at a fixed-price, gas-fired power plant project. Segment profit and segment profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were also adversely affected by charges totaling $194 million and $219 million, respectively, resulting from forecast revisions for estimated cost growth at three fixed-price, gas-fired power plant projects. Excluding the adverse effects of forecast revisions in

both three-month periods, segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased slightly when compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to increased project execution activities for the mining & metals, infrastructure and life sciences & advance manufacturing business lines, as well as the favorable close out of certain infrastructure projects. These additional profit contributions were substantially offset by reduced volume of project execution activity resulting from the prior year cancellation of the nuclear power projects mentioned above, as well as an increase in NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable and deferred expenses.  Excluding the adverse effects of forecast revisions in both six-month periods, segment profit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 declined when compared to the prior year, primarily due to reduced volume of project execution activity resulting from the prior year cancellation of the nuclear power projects mentioned above, as well as an increase in NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable and deferred expenses. The decrease was partially offset by additional profit contributions from increased project execution activities for the mining & metals and infrastructure business lines, as well as the favorable close out of certain infrastructure projects.

 

The Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment includes the operations of NuScale, which are primarily research and development activities. NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable and deferred expenses, included in the determination of segment profit, were $24 million and $47 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $17 million and $33 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

New awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $3.6 billion and $5.0 billion compared to $790 million and $1.7 billion for the corresponding periods of 2017. New awards in the current quarter included an iron ore replacement mine in Australia and the Los Angeles International Airport Automated People Mover project. Backlog remained flat at $12.4 billion as of June 30, 2018 and $12.6 billion as of June 30, 2017. An increase in backlog due to new award activity was offset by the cancellation of a Westinghouse nuclear power plant project during the third quarter of 2017.

 

Total assets in the Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment were $1.1 billion as of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Total assets in the Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment as of June 30, 2018 included accounts receivable related to the two subcontracts with Westinghouse to manage the construction workforce at the Plant Vogtle and V.C. Summer nuclear power plant projects. On March 29, 2017, Westinghouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. In the third quarter of 2017, the V.C. Summer project was cancelled by the owner. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the remaining scope of work on the Plant Vogtle project was transferred to a new contractor. In addition to amounts due for post-petition services, total assets as of June 30, 2018 included amounts due of $66 million and $2 million for services provided to the V.C. Summer and Plant Vogtle projects, respectively, prior to the date of the bankruptcy petition. See Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased 16 percent and 45 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The revenue growth in both periods resulted primarily from project execution activities for a power restoration project in Puerto Rico, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2017 and was substantially completed in the first half of 2018, as well as increased hurricane relief efforts for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. These increases were partially offset by the substantial completion of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant project in late 2017.

 

Segment profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 significantly increased when compared to the same periods in 2017, driven primarily by the favorable effect of a contract modification and increased project execution activities for the power restoration project in Puerto Rico. Segment profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were 5.9 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively, compared to 2.7 percent and 3.2 percent for the same periods in the prior year. The increases in segment profit margin for both periods were primarily driven by the same factor that drove the increase in segment profit.

New awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $742 million and $785 million compared to $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion for the same periods in the prior year. New awards for the current quarter included a contract extension for the LOGCAP IV program. Backlog was $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2018 compared to $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2017. The decrease in backlog primarily resulted from new award activity being outpaced by work performed on several multi-year decommissioning and cleanup projects. Total backlog included $515 million and $1.3 billion of unfunded government contracts as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Total assets in the Government segment were $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2018 compared to $732 million as of December 31, 2017. The increase in total assets primarily resulted from increased working capital in support of project execution activities for the power restoration project in Puerto Rico.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by 4 percent and 8 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 primarily due to revenue growth from the Stork operations in Latin America and higher volumes in the staffing and equipment businesses.

 

Segment profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by 20 percent and 19 percent, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, primarily due to the cancellation of a large operations and maintenance project in North America and lower contributions from the equipment business in Canada. Segment profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 4.3 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively, compared to 5.7 percent and 4.9 percent for the same periods of 2017. The decrease in segment profit margin during both periods was primarily due to the same factors affecting segment profit.

 

New awards in the Diversified Services segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $513 million and $946 million compared to $554 million and $1.1 billion for the corresponding periods of 2017. Backlog of $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2018 decreased from $2.9 billion as of June 30, 2017. The reduction in backlog resulted from scope changes on certain power services and maintenance projects and the cancellation of an operations and maintenance project in North America. The equipment and temporary staffing businesses do not report backlog or new awards.

 

Total assets in the Diversified Services segment were $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2018 compared to $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2017.

 

Other

 

Corporate general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $18 million and $75 million compared to $47 million and $92 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to foreign currency exchange gains in both the three and six month periods of 2018 compared to foreign currency exchange losses in the prior year periods. Net interest expense was $9 million and $18 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $9 million and $20 million during the corresponding periods of 2017. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is discussed above under “— Summary.”

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Liquidity is provided by available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, credit facilities and access to capital markets including the use of commercial paper. The company has both committed and uncommitted lines of credit available to be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. The company believes that for at least the next 12 months, cash generated from operations, along with its unused credit capacity and substantial cash position, is sufficient to support operating requirements. However, the company regularly reviews its sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to increase its liquidity position. The company’s financial strategy and consistent performance have earned it strong credit ratings, resulting in a competitive advantage and continued access to the capital markets. As of June 30, 2018, the company was in compliance with all the financial covenants related to its debt agreements.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2018 compared to $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2017. Cash and cash equivalents combined with current and noncurrent marketable securities were $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2018 and $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2017. Cash and cash equivalents are held in numerous accounts throughout the world to fund the company’s global project execution activities. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents amounted to $964 million and $919 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents exclude deposits of U.S. legal entities that are either swept into overnight, offshore accounts or invested in offshore, short-term time deposits, to which there is unrestricted access.

 

In evaluating its liquidity needs, the company considers cash and cash equivalents held by its consolidated variable interest entities (joint ventures and partnerships). These amounts (which totaled $729 million and $516 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) were not necessarily readily available for general purposes. In its evaluation, the company also considers the extent to which the current balance of its advance billings on contracts (which totaled $944 million and $874 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is presented as “Contract liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) is likely to be sustained or consumed over the near term for project execution activities and the cash flow requirements of its various foreign operations. In some cases, it may not be financially efficient to move cash and cash equivalents between countries due to statutory dividend limitations and/or adverse tax consequences. The company did not consider any cash to be permanently reinvested overseas as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and, as a result, has appropriately reflected the tax impact on foreign earnings in deferred taxes.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings sources and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities which consist primarily of working capital balances for projects. Working capital levels vary from period to period and are primarily affected by the company’s volume of work. These levels are also impacted by the stage of completion and commercial terms of engineering and construction projects, as well as the company’s execution of its projects within budget. Working capital requirements also vary by project and relate to clients in various industries and locations throughout the world. Most contracts require payments as the projects progress. The company evaluates the counterparty credit risk of third parties as part of its project risk review process. The company maintains adequate reserves for potential credit losses and generally such losses have been minimal and within management’s estimates. Additionally, certain projects receive advance payments from clients. A normal trend for these projects is to have higher cash balances during the initial phases of execution which then level out toward the end of the construction phase. As a result, the company’s cash position is reduced as customer advances are utilized, unless they are replaced by advances on other projects. The company maintains cash reserves and borrowing facilities to provide additional working capital in the event that a project’s net operating cash outflows exceed its available cash balances.

 

The company’s working capital accounts as of June 30, 2018 reflect the adoption of ASC 606. (See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Excluding the non-cash impact of adopting ASC 606, working capital increased primarily due to an increase in contract assets and a decrease in contract liabilities partially offset by an increase in accounts payable during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Specific factors related to these drivers include:

 

·                  An increase in contract assets, primarily driven by project execution activities in the Government segment for the power restoration project in Puerto Rico.

 

·                  A decrease in contract liabilities in the Energy & Chemicals segment, which resulted primarily from normal project execution activities on several large projects.

 

36



Table of Contents

 

·                  Increases in accounts payable in the Energy & Chemicals and Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segments which resulted from normal invoicing activities.

 

During the first half of 2017, working capital decreased primarily due to accrued charges on the power projects discussed above under “Results of Operations” as well as decreases in accounts receivable and contract assets and an increase in contract liabilities, partially offset by an increase in prepaid income taxes. Specific factors related to these drivers include:

 

·                  A decrease in accounts receivable, primarily related to collections from an Energy & Chemicals joint venture project in the United States.

 

·                  A decrease in contract assets in the Energy & Chemicals segment, which resulted primarily from normal project execution activities.

 

·                  An increase in contract liabilities in the Energy & Chemicals segment, which resulted primarily from normal project execution activities.

 

Cash utilized by operating activities was $133 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $428 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in cash from operating activities resulted primarily from declines in net working capital inflows.

 

The company contributed $9 million and $11 million into its defined benefit pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The company currently expects to contribute up to $45 million into its defined benefit pension plans during 2018, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required and includes additional funding to execute a buy-in policy contract with an insurance company to fully insure the benefits of the defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom. Once the additional funding for the buy-in is contributed, the company does not anticipate any further material contributions to the U.K. plan.

 

As discussed in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, NuScale has been receiving reimbursement of up to 43 percent for certain qualified expenditures under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) since May 2014. As of June 30, 2018, NuScale had recognized substantially all of the funding available under the initial cooperative agreement. In April 2018, the DOE announced that NuScale had been selected to receive an additional cost sharing award for $40 million under the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy’s U.S. Industry Opportunities for Advanced Nuclear Technology Development funding opportunity announcement (“FOA”). Based on the announcement and other correspondence from the DOE, the company believes it is probable that the award will be granted and that the company will satisfy the conditions of the award. As of June 30, 2018, the company has deferred certain expenditures that qualify for reimbursement under the FOA award.

 

NuScale expenses included in the determination of segment profit were $24 million and $47 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $17 million and $33 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. NuScale expenses were reported net of qualified reimbursable and deferred expenses totaling $12 million and $27 million for the three and six months periods of 2018, respectively, and $10 million and $20 million for the three and six month periods of 2017, respectively.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash provided by investing activities was $84 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to cash utilized by investing activities of $373 million in the 2017 period. The primary investing activities included purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities; capital expenditures; disposals of property, plant and equipment; and investments in partnerships and joint ventures.

 

The company holds cash in bank deposits and marketable securities which are governed by the company’s investment policy. This policy focuses on, in order of priority, the preservation of capital, maintenance of liquidity and maximization of yield. These investments may include money market funds which invest in U.S. Government-related securities, bank deposits placed with highly-rated financial institutions, repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by U.S. Government-related securities, high-grade commercial paper and high quality short-term and medium-term fixed income securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities exceeded purchases of such securities by $171 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchase of marketable securities exceeded proceeds from sales

and maturities of such securities by $70 million. The company held combined current and noncurrent marketable securities of $101 million and $275 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

Capital expenditures of $110 million and $142 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, primarily related to construction equipment associated with equipment operations in the Diversified Services segment, as well as expenditures for facilities and investments in information technology. Proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment of $40 million and $28 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, primarily related to the disposal of construction equipment associated with the equipment operations in the Diversified Services segment.

 

Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures were $17 million and $191 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Investments during the six months ended June 30, 2017 included capital contributions to an Energy & Chemicals joint venture in the United States.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash utilized by financing activities of $40 million and $123 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, included company dividend payments to stockholders, proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper, repayments of borrowings under revolving lines of credit, and distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests.

 

Quarterly cash dividends are typically paid during the month following the quarter in which they are declared. Therefore, dividends declared in the fourth quarter of 2017 were paid in the first quarter of 2018. Quarterly cash dividends of $0.21 per share were declared in the second quarter of 2018 and 2017. The payment and level of future cash dividends is subject to the discretion of the company’s Board of Directors.

 

During the second quarter of 2018, the company issued commercial paper to meet its short-term liquidity needs. Approximately $50 million in commercial paper was outstanding as of June 30, 2018 with a weighted average interest rate of 2.43%. All of the company’s outstanding commercial paper matures within one month.

 

In March 2016, the company issued €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes (the “2016 Notes”) due March 21, 2023 and received proceeds of €497 million (or approximately $551 million), net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2016 Notes is payable annually on March 21 of each year, beginning on March 21, 2017. Prior to December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Additionally, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at any time upon the occurrence of certain changes in U.S. tax laws, as described in the indenture, at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In November 2014, the company issued $500 million of 3.5% Senior Notes (the “2014 Notes”) due December 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $491 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and began on June 15, 2015. Prior to September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In September 2011, the company issued $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes (the “2011 Notes”) due September 15, 2021 and received proceeds of $492 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2011 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and began on March 15, 2012. The company may, at any time, redeem the 2011 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture.

 

For the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes, if a change of control triggering event occurs, as defined by the terms of the respective indentures, the company will be required to offer to purchase applicable notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The company is generally not limited under the indentures governing the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness provided the company is in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions. We may, from time to time, repurchase the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes or the 2011 Notes in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Stork on March 1, 2016, the company assumed Stork’s outstanding debt obligations, including its 11.0% Super Senior Notes due 2017 (the ‘‘Stork Notes’’), borrowings under a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility, and other debt obligations. On March 2, 2016, the company gave notice to all holders of the Stork Notes of the full redemption of the outstanding €273 million (or approximately $296 million) principal amount of Stork Notes plus a redemption premium of €7 million (or approximately $8 million) effective March 17, 2016. The redemption of the Stork Notes was initially funded with additional borrowings under the company’s $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, which borrowings were subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes. Certain other outstanding debt obligations assumed in the Stork acquisition of €20 million (or approximately $22 million) were settled in March 2016. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility that was available to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility, which bore interest at EURIBOR plus .75%, expired in April 2017. Outstanding borrowings of $53 million under the €125 million Revolving Credit Facility were repaid in the first quarter of 2017.

 

Distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests represent cash outflows to partners of consolidated partnerships or joint ventures created primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. Distributions paid were $32 million and $21 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Distributions in 2018 and 2017 primarily related to three transportation joint venture projects in the United States.

 

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

 

Unrealized translation gains and losses resulting from changes in functional currency exchange rates are reflected in the cumulative translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, most major foreign currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation losses of $49 million, of which $33 million related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, most major foreign currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation gains of $61 million, of which $37 million related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. The cash held in foreign currencies will primarily be used for project-related expenditures in those currencies, and therefore the company’s exposure to exchange gains and losses is generally mitigated.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Guarantees and Commitments

 

As of June 30, 2018, the company had both committed and uncommitted lines of credit available to be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. As of June 30, 2018, letters of credit and borrowings totaling $1.6 billion were outstanding under these committed and uncommitted lines of credit. The committed lines of credit include a $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility and a $1.8 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility. Both facilities mature in February 2022. The company may utilize up to $1.75 billion in the aggregate of the combined $3.5 billion committed lines of credit for revolving loans, which may be used for acquisitions and/or general purposes. Each of the credit facilities may be increased up to an additional $500 million subject to certain conditions, and contain customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to tangible net worth of one-to-one and a cap on the aggregate amount of debt of the greater of $750 million or €750 million for the company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under both facilities, which may be denominated in USD, EUR, GBP or CAD, bear interest at rates based on the Eurodollar Rate or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin.

 

In connection with the Stork acquisition, the company assumed a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility that bore interest at EURIBOR plus 3.75%. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility which was used for revolving loans, bank guarantees, letters of credit and to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility, which bore interest at EURIBOR plus .75%, expired in April 2017. Outstanding borrowings of $53 million under the €125 million Revolving Credit Facility were repaid in the first quarter of 2017.

 

Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily to indemnify the company’s clients if the company fails to perform its obligations under its contracts. Surety bonds may be used as an alternative to letters of credit.

 

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated and consolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities. The performance guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the company could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees, which represents the remaining cost of work

to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts, was estimated to be $13 billion as of June 30, 2018. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated cost to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed under the contract. For lump-sum or fixed-price contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, the company may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The company assessed its performance guarantee obligation as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 in accordance with ASC 460, “Guarantees,” and the carrying value of the liability was not material.

 

Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower’s obligation.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In the normal course of business, the company forms partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. The company evaluates each partnership and joint venture to determine whether the entity is a VIE. If the entity is determined to be a VIE, the company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary and needs to consolidate the entity.

 

For further discussion of the company’s VIEs, see Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

There have been no material changes to market risk in the first half of 2018. Accordingly, the disclosures provided in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 remain current.
