    First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Consolidated Results Review

    (All comparisons against the first quarter fiscal 2025 unless noted.)

    Revenues were $1.9 billion, down 5% or $95 million, primarily due to the expected runoff of EUCOM contingency scope.

    Operating income was $180 million, down 11% or $22 million, primarily reflecting lower Gross profit due to lower Revenues and services mix, partially offset by higher Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and lower Selling, general and administrative expenses.

    Net income attributable to KBR was $102 million, down 12% or $14 million, primarily due to lower Operating income noted above, partially offset by lower Interest expense.

    Diluted earnings per share attributable to KBR were $0.80, down 9% or $0.08, primarily due to lower Net income attributable to KBR noted above, partially offset by lower diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to open market share repurchases.

    Adjusted EBITDA2 was $251 million, up 1% or $3 million, in line with the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA2 margin was 13.1%.

    Adjusted earnings per share2 were $0.96, down 5% or $0.05, due to higher interest expense from unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by lower adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding due to open market share repurchases.

    Backlog and options as of the quarter end totaled $23.2 billion. Book-to-bill1 was 1.1x for the quarter.

    First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Segment Results Review

    (All comparisons against the first quarter fiscal 2025 unless noted.)

    Mission Technology Solutions (MTS)

    Revenues were $1.3 billion, down 6% or $85 million, reflecting declines in U.S. Defense and Intelligence Clients driven by the expected runoff of EUCOM contingency scope. Federal Civilian Client revenues also declined due to funding restrictions at NASA. These impacts were partially offset by growth in International Government Clients, particularly in Australia, where defense programs continued to expand.

    Operating income was $111 million, down 2% or $2 million, as lower Revenues were largely offset by favorable mix from the roll‑off of lower‑margin work and increased contribution from higher‑value offerings. Operating income margin improved to 8.6%.

    Adjusted EBITDA2 was $138 million, down 1% or $1 million, in line with the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA2 margin was 10.6%.

    Backlog and options as of the quarter end totaled $18.5 billion. Book-to-bill1 was 1.0x for the quarter.

    The following new business awards were announced:

    • Awarded a $200 million ceiling recompete to deliver AI‑enabled IT and systems engineering for the US Department of Transportation's Volpe Center, supporting aviation safety and transportation modernization.
    • Awarded a $95 million contract to advance digital engineering and decision support for the US Space Force, accelerating development of next‑generation space systems.
    • Awarded a $510 million ceiling multi‑award IDIQ to provide joint data and analytic support for the Office of the Secretary of War (CAPE/JDS), enabling faster, data‑driven strategic decision‑making.
    • Awarded two LOGCAP V task order modifications with a combined $449 million ceiling to deliver logistics, base operations, and data‑driven sustainment for the U.S. Army across Europe and North America, with performance through March 2027.

    Additionally, Mission Technology Solutions supported NASA's Artemis II mission, providing real‑time mission operations and astronaut health monitoring from Mission Control during the first human mission beyond low‑Earth orbit since Apollo 17, reinforcing KBR's role in delivering mission‑critical services for complex space exploration programs.

    Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS)

    Revenues were $627 million, down 2% or $10 million, reflecting U.S. projects nearing completion, partially offset by ramp‑up activity in the Middle East from recent awards.

    Operating income was $113 million, down 11% or $14 million, primarily reflecting the mix of services across the portfolio, partially offset by increased Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates and a favorable closeout. Operating income margin was 18.0%.

    Adjusted EBITDA2 was $137 million, up 1% or $2 million, in line with the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA2 margin was 21.9%.

    Backlog as of the quarter end totaled $4.7 billion. Book-to-bill1 was 1.2x for the quarter.

    The following new business awards were announced:

    • Awarded a project management and technical services contract by Zallaf Exploration, Production and Refining of Oil and Gas Company to support the South Refinery Project in Ubari, southwest Libya.
    • Awarded a landmark seven‑year general maintenance services contract with an optional three‑year extension by Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP) to support its petrochemical expansion complex in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.
    • Awarded a 10‑year catalyst supply contract by Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals FZE to support its global ammonia plant portfolio, representing KBR's first long‑term catalyst agreement in the ammonia sector.
    • Awarded an integrated field management services contract by Basra Oil Company for the Majnoon Oil Field in southern Iraq to support production optimization and field modernization.
    • Awarded a strategic 10-year digitally-enabled general maintenance services contract for Petro Rabigh's Polymer I and Polymer II plants in Saudi Arabia.

    Additionally, Sustainable Technology Solutions made a strategic investment in UK‑based Applied Computing, strengthening KBR's AI‑enabled technology platform and supporting innovation across energy and industrial markets. The investment provides KBR with board representation, enabling closer strategic alignment and collaboration as Applied Computing's capabilities are integrated with KBR's digital and engineering solutions.

    Lastly, during the quarter, KBR's unconsolidated joint venture, Brown & Root Industrial Services, completed the acquisition of Specialty Welding and Turnarounds (SWAT), reinforcing KBR's strategy to expand recurring services through unconsolidated joint ventures while maintaining a disciplined, capital‑light approach.

    Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Capital Deployment

    Liquidity as of April 3, 2026, totaled approximately $1.0 billion, comprising $605 million in borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and $380 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net leverage ratio as of April 3, 2026, was 2.3x.

    Operating cash flows from continuing operations for the quarter were $110 million, up 21% or $19 million. Adjusted operating cash flows2 for the quarter were $119 million, up 31% or $28 million.

    During the first quarter, KBR returned $25 million in capital to shareholders, consisting of $4 million in withhold to cover shares and $21 million in regular dividends.

    Reaffirming Fiscal 2026 Guidance

    KBR reaffirms the following full‑year fiscal 2026 outlook for the consolidated company and plans to update standalone outlooks in connection with the planned spin transaction.

     Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
    Revenues$7.90B - $8.36B
    Adjusted EBITDA$980M - $1,040M
    Adjusted EPS$3.87 - $4.22
    Adjusted operating cash flows$560M - $600M
      

    The company does not provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted operating cash flows to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, and acquisition-related expenses without unreasonable effort, which could be material to the company's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

    Strategic Intent to Spin Off Mission Technology Solutions

    On September 24, 2025, KBR announced its intention to spin off its Mission Technology Solutions segment into a separate, U.S. publicly traded company. We continue to believe that the formation of two independent companies with distinct offerings will better position both companies to deliver long-term profitable growth and value for customers, employees, and shareholders. Upon completion, KBR and its shareholders are expected to benefit from ownership in two pure‑play public companies with enhanced strategic and management focus, prioritized commercial resources, operational independence, and financial flexibility to support strategic imperatives.

    In connection with the planned separation, certain perimeter changes were implemented in fiscal 2026 to better align the businesses ahead of the spin‑off, including the transition of Frazer‑Nash Consultancy and the UK Civil Nuclear portfolio to Sustainable Technology Solutions.

    The planned spin‑off is intended to be tax‑free to KBR and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is targeting completion on January 4, 2027, which is the first business day of fiscal 2027, subject to final approval by KBR's Board of Directors and other customary conditions. Additional details regarding the spin off transaction are available on the Investor Relations section of KBR's website at investors.kbr.com/news-and-events/spin-off-information.

    Conference Call Details

    The company will host a conference call to discuss its first quarter fiscal 2026 results on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 7:30 a.m. Central Time. The conference call will be webcast simultaneously through the Investor Relations section of KBR's website at investors.kbr.com. A replay of the webcast will be available shortly after the call on KBR's website or by telephone at +1.866.813.9403, passcode: 808352.

The company has provided the non-GAAP financial information presented in the press release as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in the press release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the press release may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    We evaluate performance based on Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to KBR, plus Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; less Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest included in discontinued operations; less Interest expense; Other non-operating expense (income); Provision for income taxes; Depreciation and amortization (D&A); and certain discrete items as identified by Management to be non-recurring in nature as set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA can also be defined as Operating income less Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests from continuing operations; plus D&A; and certain discrete items as identified by Management to be non-recurring in nature as set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for each of the three month periods ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025 are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in the calculation of Net income (loss) attributable to KBR in accordance with GAAP for such periods. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core performance for each of the three month periods ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core performance for the comparable periods.

    (1) Beginning with the three months ended April 3, 2026, costs related to our share of JV interest, tax, D&A and acquisition costs were included as EBITDA adjustments on a prospective basis. Management concluded that retrospective application would not provide additional meaningful information to investors and therefore did not recast historical non‑GAAP results. The estimated impact to fiscal 2025 margins was approximately 20 basis points.

    Adjusted EPS 

    Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) for each of the three month periods ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025 is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules because Adjusted EPS excludes certain amounts included in the Diluted EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP for such periods. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is Diluted EPS for the same periods. Management believes that Adjusted EPS affords investors a view of what management considers KBR's core earnings performance for each of the three month periods ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance for the comparable periods.

    Adjusted Operating Cash Flows and Adjusted Operating Cash Conversion

    Adjusted operating cash flows and Adjusted operating cash conversion are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Adjusted operating cash flows exclude certain amounts included in the cash flows provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating cash conversion is calculated as Adjusted operating cash flows divided by Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding, which is then divided by Adjusted earnings per share. Management believes that Adjusted operating cash flows and adjusted operating cash conversion afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core operating cash flow performance for each of the three month periods ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025 and also afford investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core operating cash generation performance.
