Positive
  • Strong Q1 2024 financial results with Adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion.

  • New business awards and backlog totaling $20.8 billion showcase robust performance.

  • Sustainable Technology Solutions segment secured notable contracts and achievements.

  • Government Solutions segment performed well with significant contract wins.

  • Financial highlights include revenue of $1.8 billion, net income of $93 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $207 million.

  • Operating cash flows increased to $91 million, and capital returned to shareholders totaled $79 million.

  • Company reaffirmed fiscal 2024 guidance with revenue expected between $7.4B - $7.7B and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $810M - $850M.

Negative

  • Higher interest expense and other non-operating expenses impacted net income slightly negatively.

Insights

KBR's report showing a 7% year-over-year revenue increase and a 14% uptick in Adjusted EBITDA signals effective operational management, particularly given the margin expansion from 10.7% to 11.4%. This suggests not only improved profitability but also enhanced cost control mechanisms. The substantial increase in operating cash flow by 160% is indicative of robust cash management strategies, which is critical for meeting short-term obligations and funding growth initiatives. However, investors should monitor the potential impact of interest expenses, as they have been cited as a contributing factor offsetting income. The positive book-to-bill ratio over 1 suggests a healthy future revenue stream, as current bookings exceed billings. While the reaffirmation of the Fiscal 2024 guidance provides stability and confidence in the company's projections, investors should stay attuned to global economic dynamics that could influence these forecasts.

What stands out in KBR's portfolio is the diversification of contracts, especially in sectors like clean energy and defense. The company's engagement with projects like clean hydrogen production and zero-emission lithium extraction positions it favorably within sustainability trends, potentially attracting ESG-focused investors. Moreover, the expansion into cybersecurity services reflects the shift towards high-demand digital services. However, investors should be aware of market saturation and competition in these areas, which could affect KBR's long-term market position. The backlog of $20.8 billion provides a buffer against short-term market volatility, yet the cyclical nature of government contracts and the inherent risks of large-scale projects require continuous monitoring.

KBR's active role in establishing a new refinery and its contributions to renewable energy initiatives highlight the company's strategic alignment with current energy transitions. This bodes well for long-term sustainability, as dependence on traditional energy sources diminishes. However, geopolitical risks and regulatory changes remain as latent challenges that could influence project outcomes and financial performance. Investors should consider the balance between KBR's involvement in conventional energy infrastructure, like the refinery in Angola and its investment in cutting-edge technologies such as Li-Capt® for lithium extraction, examining how these reflect on the company's adaptability and resilience in a rapidly-evolving energy market.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 29, 2024

  • Revenue of $1.8 billion, up 7% on a year-over-year-basis 
  • Net income attributable to KBR of $93 million; Adjusted EBITDA2 of $207 million, up 14%  on a year-over-year basis (11.4% Adjusted EBITDA2 margin)

  • Operating cash flows of $91 million

Commentary on the Three Months Ended March 29, 2024
Revenues were $1.8 billion, up 7% compared to 1Q'23, primarily due to growth across Sustainable Technology Solutions; and within Government Solutions, new and on-contract growth across International, Defense & Intel, and Science and Space, partially offset by contraction in Readiness & Sustainment due to Ukraine funding delays.

Net income attributable to KBR was $93 million, up $7 million compared to 1Q'23, due to higher gross profit, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and gain on disposition of assets and investments, partially offset by higher interest expense and other non-operating expense.

Adjusted EBITDA2 was $207 million, up 14% compared to 1Q'23, with Adjusted EBITDA2 margins of 11.4%, up 70 bps year-over-year.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.69, up 23% compared to 1Q'23, due to the increase in Net income attributable to KBR noted above and the decrease in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Adjusted earnings per share2 was $0.77, up 15% compared to 1Q'23, due to the increase in Net income attributable to KBR noted above and the decrease in adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Operating cash flows were $91 million, up 160% compared to 1Q'23, primarily due to strong collections across the business.

Capital returned to shareholders totaled $79 million during the quarter, consisting of $61 million in share repurchases, inclusive of $50 million of open market repurchases and $11 million of repurchases to satisfy requirements of equity compensation plans, and $18 million in regular dividends.

The company does not provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The following information provides reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in the press release to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). 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.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We evaluate performance based on EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. EBITDA is defined as Net income attributable to KBR, plus Interest expense; Other non-operating expense; Provision for income taxes; and Depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin for each of the three month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain amounts included in the calculation of net income (loss) attributable to KBR in accordance with GAAP for such periods. Management believes EBITDA, 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 March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core performance for the comparable periods.

Adjusted EPS 
Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) for each of the three month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 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 March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance for the comparable periods.

We have calculated Adjusted EPS for each of the three month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 by adjusting Diluted EPS for the items included in the table below.

Adjusted Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flows
Adjusted operating cash flows and Adjusted free cash flows 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 free cash flows exclude capital expenditures from Adjusted operating cash flows. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is cash flows provided by operating activities. Management believes that Adjusted operating cash flows and Adjusted free cash flows afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core operating cash flow performance and also afford investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core operating cash generation performance.

We have calculated Adjusted operating cash flows and Adjusted free cash flows for each of the three month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 by adjusting operating cash flow provided by operating activities for items included in the table below.
