2009 Second Quarter Business Unit Results
Upstream business unit income was $65 million in the second
quarter of 2009 compared to business unit income of $39 million in
the second quarter of 2008. Business unit income in the second
quarter of 2009 had positive contributions from various gas
monetization projects, including the Pearl GTL, Skikda LNG, Gorgon
LNG, Yemen LNG, and Escravos GTL projects, an offshore related
project in the Caspian area, and several topside engineering
projects. 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, which was subsequently offset by a gain
of $24 million on a change order on the same LNG project in the
fourth quarter of 2008.
Government and Infrastructure business unit income was $80
million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to business unit
income of $63 million in the second quarter of 2008. Business unit
income in the second quarter of 2009 had positive contributions
from Iraq-related activities, the Allenby & Connaught project,
work on the CENTCOM project, and numerous infrastructure projects,
including the Qatar-Bahrain Causeway. Business unit income in the
second quarter of 2008 included a $40 million charge related to an
unfavorable jury verdict from litigation with a subcontractor on
the LogCAP III contract dating back to 2003 and a $3 million charge
on the U.S. Embassy project in Macedonia.
Services business unit income was $29 million in the second
quarter of 2009 compared to business unit income of $17 million in
the second quarter of 2008. Business unit income in the second
quarter of 2009 had positive contributions from BE&K, including
continued work on power projects in Georgia and Texas, in addition
to legacy construction and maintenance work in Texas, the offshore
service vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, and an activated carbon
project in Louisiana.
Downstream business unit income was $14 million in the second
quarter of 2009 compared to business unit income of $14 million in
the second quarter of 2008. Business unit income in the second
quarter of 2009 had positive contributions from the Yanbu export
refinery project, program management services for the Ras Tanura
project in Saudi Arabia, the Lobito refinery FEED in Angola, and
several BE&K projects. Also included in the second quarter 2009
results were additional repair costs during performance testing on
the EBIC ammonia project in Egypt. However, at the end of July
2009, the EBIC ammonia project successfully completed the
reliability testing, which marks substantial completion on the
project, pending expected final notification from the customer in
August 2009.
Technology business unit income was $5 million in the second
quarter of 2009 compared to business unit income of $7 million in
the second quarter of 2008. Business unit income in the second
quarter of 2009 had positive contributions from several ammonia
license and basic engineering projects in South America and one
project in India.
Corporate general and administrative expense in the second
quarter of 2009 was $54 million, up $2 million from the prior year
second quarter, which did not include the BE&K corporate
expenses. The slight increase primarily related to higher legal
expenditures.
Total cash flows provided by operating activities for the second
quarter of 2009 was $164 million. Total cash flows used in
operating activities for the first six months of 2009 were $8
million.

Total backlog $ 12,346 $ 14,097 (a)
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 $2.3 billion and $2.4
billion at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Our
backlog related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling
interest totaled $3.0 billion and $3.1 billion at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, 21% of
our backlog for continuing operations was attributable to
fixed-price contracts and 79% 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 includes backlog
attributable to firm orders in the amount of $2.4 billion and $3.3
billion as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Government and Infrastructure backlog attributable to unfunded
orders was $0.1 billion as of June 30, 2009 and $0.2 billion as of
December 31, 2008.
