• First cargo shipped from LNG Canada project
• NuScale to convert 15 million class B shares
• Share repurchases of $153 million during Q2
• Company adjusts 2025 guidance

Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced financial results for its second quarter ending June 30, 2025.

“I’m pleased with the tremendous accomplishments achieved by the team on the LNG Canada project, including the first shipment of LNG. We received a contract award to update the FEED package for a proposed phase 2 expansion, and this week an agreement was reached on our COVID claims and other matters,” said Jim Breuer, chief executive officer of Fluor. “Unfortunately, our results for the quarter were impacted by three long-standing infrastructure projects and a shift in expected capital spending from some clients. We view this shift as temporary and believe that our long-term strategy centered around disciplined project delivery in growth markets will continue to benefit our clients and our shareholders.”

  • Revenue of $4.0 billion, down 6% y/y

  • EPS of $14.81; adjusted EPS of $0.43, down 49% y/y
  • Consolidated segment profit^[1] of $78 million, down 60% y/y
  • Cash and marketable securities at the end of the quarter were $2.3 billion
  • G&A expenses of $52 million, up 4% y/y
• Q2 Operating Cash Flow: ($21) million vs $282 million y/y, reflects increases in working capital on several large projects; full year guidance $200 - $250 million
• New Awards: Q2 new awards totaled $1.8 billion, down 43% y/y; 72% reimbursable; also recognized $1.7 billion in positive backlog adjustments

Outlook

Consistent with prior practice, we are not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings or U.S. GAAP earnings per share, or a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EPS guidance, because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty all of the components required to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable efforts, which are uncertain and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

In reflection of client hesitation around economic uncertainty and its impact on new awards and project delays and results for the quarter, the company is revising its adjusted EBITDA guidance as follows:

Estimates for 2025 assume a tax rate of 30 percent. Adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance exclude items similar to those outlined in the reconciliation table at the end of this release.

Business Segments

Urban Solutions reported a profit of $29 million in the second quarter compared to $105 million in the second quarter of 2024. Results reflect a $54 million net impact of cost growth and expected recoveries on three infrastructure projects, due to subcontractor design errors, the related schedule impacts, and price escalation. Revenue for the second quarter increased to $2.1 billion from $1.8 billion a year ago. New awards for the quarter were $856 million compared to $2.4 billion a year ago. Awards for the quarter included the final notice to proceed on the Reko Diq mining project and an incremental award on a life sciences project. Ending backlog increased 5% to $20.5 billion compared to $19.6 billion a year ago.

Energy Solutions reported a profit of $15 million in the second quarter compared to $75 million in the second quarter of 2024. Results reflect the recognition of an unexpected $31 million arbitration ruling for a fabrication project performed by our Mexico joint venture that was completed in 2021. Results for 2025 also reflect the curtailing of work at our Mexico joint venture pending client payments. Revenue for the quarter decreased to $1.1 billion from $1.6 billion a year ago. New awards in the quarter totaled $549 million, compared to $582 million in the second quarter of 2024. Ending backlog was $5.6 billion compared to $8.5 billion a year ago.

Mission Solutions reported a profit of $35 million in the second quarter compared to $41 million in the second quarter of 2024. Segment profit reflects the impact of a temporary stop work order for an existing airfield project in the Pacific. Revenue for the second quarter increased slightly to $762 million from $704 million a year ago. New awards for the quarter totaled $363 million, compared to $63 million in the second quarter of 2024. Ending backlog was $2.0 billion compared to $3.8 billion a year ago. Awards for the quarter included short-term extensions at two DOE sites and additional funding for ongoing hurricane relief efforts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains discussions of consolidated segment profit (loss) and margin, adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA that are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Segment profit (loss) is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. The company believes that segment profit (loss) provides a meaningful perspective on its business results as it is the aggregation of individual segment profit measures that the company utilizes to evaluate and manage its business performance. Adjusted net earnings (loss) is defined as net earnings (loss) from core operations excluding equity method earnings and the impacts of foreign exchange fluctuations, impairments and certain items that management believes are unrelated to actual normalized operational performance. Net earnings (loss) from core operations is net earnings (loss) attributable to Fluor excluding the results of our remaining Stork and AMECO equipment businesses that are no longer classified as discontinued operations but that continue to be marketed for sale or that have been sold. Adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings from operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), further adjusted by the same items excluded from adjusted net earnings. The company believes adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA allow investors to evaluate the company’s ongoing earnings on a normalized basis and make meaningful period-over-period comparisons. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from or a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of consolidated segment profit (loss), adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the press release tables. The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of its adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty all of the components required to provide such reconciliation, including the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, which are uncertain and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
