KBR Announces 2010 Earnings Guidance
January 07 2010 - 8:03AM
Business Wire
KBR (NYSE:KBR) announced today that the company’s guidance for
estimated earnings per diluted share from continuing operations is
in the range of $1.60 to $1.80 for the fiscal year 2010.
Included in these estimates is an approximately 50 percent
revenue decline from KBR’s LogCAP project in 2010 from the full
year 2009 levels. The estimated LogCAP revenue decline is based on
recent reports from the U.S. Government indicating a withdrawal of
troops from current levels of approximately 120,000 down to an
approximate sustainment level of between 35,000 and 50,000 by the
end of summer 2010, as well as KBR’s assumptions regarding the
ongoing transition from LogCAP III to LogCAP IV in Iraq. However,
KBR’s LogCAP revenue decline assumptions for 2010 are subject to
change in both timing and scope depending on conditions on the
ground and direction from its government customer.
KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company
supporting the energy, hydrocarbon, government services, minerals,
civil infrastructure, power and industrial markets. For more
