KBR (NYSE:KBR) announced today that second quarter 2008 net income
was $0.28 per diluted share which included two adverse items: a
jury award related to a 2003 LogCAP III subcontract representing
$0.15 per share and one-time events on three projects resulting in
a cumulative net negative impact of $0.03 per share. Income from
continuing operations and net income was $48 million, or $0.28 per
diluted share. This compares to income from continuing operations
of $50 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the second quarter
of 2007. Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $140
million, or $0.83 per diluted share, which included earnings from
discontinued operations of $90 million, or $0.53 per diluted share,
primarily related to operations from and gain on the sale of KBR�s
51% ownership interest in Devonport Management Limited.
Consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2008 was $2.7
billion, an increase of 23.5% from $2.2 billion in the second
quarter of 2007. Consolidated operating income was $90 million in
the second quarter of 2008 compared to $65 million in the second
quarter of 2007. Operating income in the second quarter of 2008
included a charge related to an unfavorable jury verdict of
approximately $40 million from litigation with a subcontractor on
the LogCAP III contract dating back to 2003. Also during the second
quarter of 2008, KBR recorded a $24 million charge related to the
inability to timely obtain final customer board approval for a
settlement on an LNG project, which was partially offset by
one-time events on two projects in the amount of $15 million.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2007 included a $24
million charge related to the U.S. Embassy project in Macedonia.
�From an operations perspective, I am very pleased with KBR�s
performance during the quarter and the progression of our overall
business. Unfortunately, KBR had two items this quarter that
overshadowed our strong underlying performance. I am obviously
disappointed in the unexpected and unfavorable jury award related
to a subcontractor on LogCAP III from 5 years ago and in our
inability to timely obtain final customer board approvals for a
settlement reached on one of our LNG projects,� said Bill Utt,
Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of KBR. �Looking
forward, I remain optimistic in KBR�s ability to execute on its
projects and continue to deliver solid operating results.� 2008
Second Quarter Business Unit Results Upstream business unit income
was $39 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to business
unit income of $47 million in the second quarter of 2007. Business
unit income in the second quarter of 2008 included a $24 million
reduction in KBR�s share of the estimated profits on an LNG
project. During the second quarter of 2008, the contractor and
owner reached a settlement that is expected to cover the increases
in estimated costs. Based on the timing for final customer board
approvals, the formal change order was not completed during the
second quarter of 2008. However, KBR believes it is likely that a
change order will be executed covering the increases in estimated
costs. The second quarter of 2008 was positively impacted by
various other gas monetization and offshore projects. Government
and Infrastructure business unit income was $63 million in the
second quarter of 2008 compared to business unit income of $58
million in the second quarter of 2007. Business unit income in the
second quarter of 2008 included a charge related to an unfavorable
jury verdict of approximately $40 million from litigation with a
subcontractor on the LogCAP III contract dating back to 2003, a $3
million charge on the Skopje Embassy project in Macedonia, and
positive contributions from Iraq-related activities, the Allenby
& Connaught project, work on the CENTCOM project, and several
water projects. Business unit income in the second quarter of 2007
included a $24 million charge related to the U.S. Embassy project
in Macedonia. Services business unit income was $17 million in the
second quarter of 2008 compared to business unit income of $17
million in the second quarter of 2007. Business unit income in the
second quarter of 2008 had positive contributions from the Scotford
Upgrader project in Canada, several North American construction
projects, and work with service and maintenance vessels in the Gulf
of Mexico. The second quarter of 2007 included a positive tax
credit associated with the service and maintenance vessels in the
Gulf of Mexico. Downstream business unit income was $14 million in
the second quarter of 2008 compared to business unit income of $1
million in the second quarter of 2007. Business unit income in the
second quarter of 2008 included $8 million in change orders which
reduced expected project losses at completion on the Saudi Kayan
project and additional positive contributions from the Yanbu export
refinery project, program management services for the Ras Tanura
project in Saudi Arabia, and the EBIC ammonia plant in Egypt.
Technology business unit income was $7 million in the second
quarter of 2008 compared to business unit income of $2 million in
the second quarter of 2007. Business unit income in the second
quarter of 2008 had positive contributions from an aniline plant in
China and an ammonia project in Venezuela. Ventures business unit
income was $0 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a
business unit loss of $1 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Business unit income in the second quarter of 2008 was primarily
impacted by income on the investment in the Allenby & Connaught
military accommodation and services project and a gain on sale of
an investment share on two U.K. road projects, partially offset by
continuing operating losses on the investment in the Alice
Springs-Darwin rail road project. Corporate general and
administrative expense in the second quarter of 2008 was $52
million compared to $55 million in the prior year second quarter.

Backlog is presented differently depending on if the contract is
consolidated by KBR or is accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. Backlog related to consolidated projects is presented
as 100% of the expected revenue from the project. Backlog related
to projects accounted for under the equity method of accounting is
presented as KBR's share of the expected future revenue from the
project. Our backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint
ventures totaled $2.9 billion and $3.1 billion at June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. Our backlog related to
consolidated joint ventures with minority interest totaled $3.5
billion and $3.2 billion at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. � As of June 30, 2008, 24% of our backlog for
continuing operations was attributable to fixed-price contracts and
76% was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts. For contracts
that contain both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable components, we
classify the components as either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable
according to the composition of the contract except for smaller
contracts where we characterize the entire contract based on the
predominate component. � (b) The Government and Infrastructure
segment backlog from continuing operations includes backlog
attributable to firm orders in the amount of $3.6 billion and $4.0
billion as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Government and Infrastructure backlog attributable to unfunded
orders was $0.2 billion as of June 30, 2008 and $0.2 billion as of
December 31, 2007.
