Rhea-AI Filing Summary
KBR, Inc. reports lower first-quarter 2026 results, with revenues of $1.923 billion versus $2.018 billion a year earlier and net income attributable to KBR declining to $102 million from $116 million. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.81, and total diluted EPS including discontinued operations was $0.80 compared with $0.88.
Mission Technology Solutions revenue fell mainly on reduced contingent activity in Europe, while Sustainable Technology Solutions saw modest revenue pressure and lower operating income from mix shifts, partly offset by stronger LNG-related equity earnings. KBR generated $110 million of operating cash flow from continuing operations, ended the quarter with $380 million in cash and $2.583 billion of total debt, and continues to plan a tax-free spin-off of its Mission Technology Solutions business targeted for early 2027.

Insights
KBR posted softer Q1 earnings, solid cash flow, and advanced its MTS spin-off plan.
KBR delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $1.923 billion, down 5%, and operating income of $180 million, down 11%. Net income attributable to KBR declined to $102 million, with diluted EPS at $0.80. Pressure came mainly from reduced Mission Technology Solutions activity in Europe and less favorable mix in Sustainable Technology Solutions.
Cash flow from continuing operations improved to $110 million, helping support dividends of $0.165 per share and modest buybacks. Leverage remains meaningful, with total debt of $2.583 billion against shareholders’ equity of $1.589 billion, but the company is in compliance with covenants and uses interest rate swaps to manage rate risk.
KBR continues to prepare the tax-free spin-off of its Mission Technology Solutions business, targeting completion on January 4, 2027, subject to board approval, regulatory effectiveness and tax opinions. The quarter also reflects ongoing resolution of legacy government matters and the completed disposal of the HomeSafe joint venture, now reported as discontinued operations.

Mission Technology Solutions financial
"We are organized into two core business segments, Mission Technology Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions"
Sustainable Technology Solutions financial
"Our Sustainable Technology Solutions business segment is anchored by our portfolio of over 85 innovative, proprietary, sustainability-focused process technologies"
Variable interest entities financial
"including VIEs where it is the primary beneficiary (collectively, the "Company," "KBR", "we", "us" or "our")"
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a business that a company controls through contracts or special arrangements instead of owning a majority of its shares, like steering a puppet without holding its ticket. Investors care because these arrangements can hide who really bears the financial risks and rewards, affect how assets and liabilities appear on financial statements, and create extra legal or enforcement uncertainty that can change the value and risk of an investment.
Senior Credit Facility financial
"together with the Revolver and Term Loan A, the "Senior Credit Facility""
A senior credit facility is a large loan or revolving line of credit that a company borrows from banks or lenders and that has first claim on the company’s cash and assets if the business runs into financial trouble. Think of it as the “first in line” debt with stronger repayment priority and usually stricter rules, so investors watch it because its size, cost and covenants affect a company’s cash flow, risk profile and the value of equity and other creditors.
remaining performance obligations financial
"On April 3, 2026, we had $13.6 billion of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
available-for-sale debt securities financial
"The Convertible Note is classified as an available-for-sale debt security in accordance with ASC Topic 320 Investments – Debt Securities"
A type of debt investment—like bonds or loans a company buys—that the company intends to hold for a while but may sell before it matures. Think of it as lending money with the option to sell the IOU; changes in its market value alter the company’s reported net worth now but usually don’t affect reported profit until the investment is actually sold, so investors watch these holdings for balance-sheet risk and potential future gains or losses.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as amended. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor provisions for forward-looking information. Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future financial performance and results of operations, and include information related to the proposed spin-off of our Mission Technology Solutions business into a stand-alone, publicly traded company.
We have based these statements on our assumptions and analyses in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such statements. While it is not possible to identify all factors, factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially include the risks and uncertainties disclosed in our latest Form 10-K and any subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K.
Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Any of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially and adversely affect our future financial condition or results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and our actual results and future developments may differ materially and adversely from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We caution against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results based on such statements or on present or prior earnings levels. In addition, each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of April 3, 2026, the results of our operations for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively, and our cash flows for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively. Our significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies" of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to December 31. The three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025 each contained 91 days.
As discussed further in Note 17. “Discontinued Operations”, HomeSafe Alliance ("HomeSafe") informed us on June 18, 2025, that U.S. Transportation Command unexpectedly terminated HomeSafe’s role in the Global Household Goods Contract. We disposed of HomeSafe during the year ended January 2, 2026 and determined that this disposal met the requirements to be reported as discontinued operations. As such, the results of HomeSafe are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and notes for all periods presented.
We have evaluated all events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but before the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and have included the appropriate disclosures.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of KBR, Inc. and the subsidiaries it controls, including VIEs where it is the primary beneficiary (collectively, the "Company," "KBR", "we", "us" or "our"). We account for investments over which we have significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest, using the equity method of accounting. See Note 6. "Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our equity investments and VIEs. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
New accounting pronouncements requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of additional information about certain income statement expense categories. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This guidance removes all references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. Under the new standard, cost capitalization should only commence when an entity has committed to funding a software project and it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended function. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently determining the preferred transition approach and assessing the impact of the ASU on our disclosures and financial statements, including the timing of its adoption.

Note 2. Business Segment Information
We provide a wide range of professional services, and the management of our business is heavily focused on major projects or programs within each of our reportable segments. At any given time, government programs and joint ventures represent a substantial part of our operations. Effective for fiscal 2026, a portion of a business unit within our Mission Technology Solutions segment became part of our Sustainable Technology Solutions segment. All information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is presented in accordance with the realigned reportable segments and all prior period information was recast to reflect the realigned reportable segments. We are organized into two core business segments, Mission Technology Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions and one non-core business segment as described below:
Mission Technology Solutions. Our Mission Technology Solutions business segment provides full life-cycle support solutions to defense, intelligence, space, aviation and other programs and missions for military and other government agencies primarily in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. KBR's full-spectrum solutions span research and development, advanced prototyping, acquisition support, systems engineering, C5ISR, cyber analytics, space domain awareness, test and evaluation, data analytics and integration, systems integration and program management, global supply chain management, operations readiness and support and professional advisory services across the defense, energy security and transition and critical infrastructure sectors. The disposal of HomeSafe is reported as discontinued operations and the operations are excluded from Mission Technology Solutions results reflected within our tables below. See Note 17. “Discontinued Operations” for additional information regarding the HomeSafe disposal.
Sustainable Technology Solutions. Our Sustainable Technology Solutions business segment is anchored by our portfolio of over 85 innovative, proprietary, sustainability-focused process technologies that reduce emissions, increase efficiency and/or accelerate and enable energy transition across the industrial base in four primary verticals: ammonia/syngas, chemical/petrochemicals, clean refining and circular process/circular economy solutions. STS also provides highly synergistic services including advisory and consulting focused on energy security, broad-based emission solutions, high-end engineering, infrastructure, design and program management centered around decarbonization, energy efficiency, environmental impact and asset optimization, as well as our digitally-enabled operating and monitoring solutions. Through early planning and scope definition, advanced technologies and facility life-cycle optimization, our STS business segment works closely with customers to provide what we believe is the optimal approach to maximize their return on investment. Included in Sustainable Technology Solutions is the business of Infrastar Limited acquired on May 17, 2025. See Note 16. "Acquisition" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on this acquisition.
Corporate. Our non-core segment includes corporate expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses not allocated to the business segments above.
In its operation of our business, our management, including our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), evaluates the performance of our business segments based on operating income. Our CODM, who is our chief executive officer, utilizes operating income to evaluate segment results and is a factor considered in determining capital allocation among the segments. Our CODM analyzes selected segment balance sheet information for our business segments and for the Company as a whole. Information on each of our business segments and reconciliation to net income (loss) attributable to KBR from continuing operations within our condensed consolidated statements of operations is presented in the tables below.

Performance Obligations and Contract Liabilities
Changes in estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the current period associated with performance obligations satisfied in a prior period due to the release of a constrained milestone, modification in contract price or scope or a change in the likelihood of a contingency or claim being resolved. We recognized revenue from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods for such matters of $12 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026.
On April 3, 2026, we had $13.6 billion of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 36 % of our remaining performance obligations as revenue within one year , 41 % in years two through five and 23 % thereafter. Revenue associated with our remaining performance obligations to be recognized beyond one year includes performance obligations primarily related to the Aspire Defence project, which has contract terms extending through 2041. Remaining performance obligations do not include variable consideration that was determined to be constrained as of
13
April 3, 2026.
We recognized revenue of $171 million and $151 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively, which was previously included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period.
Changes in Project-related Estimates
There are many factors that may affect the accuracy of our cost estimates and ultimately our future profitability. These include, but are not limited to, the availability and costs of resources (such as labor, materials and equipment), productivity, weather and ongoing resolution of commercial and legal matters, including any new or ongoing disputes with our business partners and others in our supply chain. We recognize revisions of revenues, costs and equity in earnings in the period in which the revisions are known. This may result in the recognition of costs before the recognition of related revenue recovery, if any. During the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025 we recognized a favorable change in operating income of $52 million and $21 million, respectively, as a result of changes in estimates on an LNG project.

Note 4. Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances held by our wholly owned subsidiaries as well as cash held by joint ventures that we consolidate. Joint venture and the Aspire project cash balances are limited to specific project activities and are not available for other projects, new acquisitions and joint ventures, general cash needs or distribution to us without approval of the Board of Directors of the respective entities. The cash and cash equivalents held in consolidated joint ventures and the Aspire project are expected to be used for their respective project costs and distributions of earnings.

Note 6. Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities
We conduct some of our operations through joint ventures, which operate through partnerships, corporations and undivided interests and other business forms and are principally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, the majority of our joint ventures are VIEs. The following table presents a rollforward of our equity in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates:

(a)In the normal course of business, our joint ventures will declare a distribution in the current quarter that is not paid until the subsequent quarter. As such, the distributions declared during the current quarter may not agree to the distributions of earnings from unconsolidated affiliates on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the year ended January 2, 2026, joint ventures within our STS segment declared a distribution of earnings of $34 million that was not received by KBR until the three months ended April 3, 2026. During the year ended January 3, 2025, a joint venture within our STS segment declared a distribution of earnings of $39 million that was not received by KBR until the year ended January 2, 2026.
(b)During the three months ended April 3, 2026, BRIS closed on an agreement to acquire a welding and turnaround services provider. We contributed $115 million in cash to BRIS as part of this agreement, which has been reflected as "investment in equity method investments, net" within the investing section of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the year ended January 2, 2026, we received a return of investment from BRIS of approximately $82 million. In October 2025, our joint venture partner in BRIS sold its ownership interest to a third party which resulted in funds being distributed by BRIS prior to the closing of this sale to return capital to its owners. Of the funds distributed, KBR received $79 million.
(c)During the three months ended April 3, 2026, Other included a reduction to the net liability position of $12 million related to a joint venture within our STS business segment. During the year ended January 2, 2026, Other included a reduction to the net liability position of $43 million related to a joint venture within our STS business segment.

Related Party Transactions
We often provide engineering, construction management and other subcontractor services to our unconsolidated joint ventures, and our revenues include amounts related to these services. For the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, our revenues included $146 million and $173 million, respectively, related to the services we provided primarily to the Aspire Defence Limited joint venture within our MTS business segment and a joint venture within our STS business segment.
During the three months ended April 3, 2026 we purchased available-for-sale debt securities for $34 million from Mura Technology ("Mura"), a company in which we have an aggregate investment of approximately 17 %. Refer to Other Investments within Note 15. "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management" for further detail on the available-for-sale debt securities.

Senior Credit Facility
Our existing Credit Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2018, as amended ("Credit Agreement"), consists of a $1 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), a Term Loan A ("Term Loan A") with debt tranches denominated in U.S. dollars and
16
British pound sterling and a Term Loan B ("Term Loan B" and together with the Revolver and Term Loan A, the "Senior Credit Facility").
We had cash borrowings of $141 million on our Revolver that occurred during the three months ended April 3, 2026. We had cash repayments of $141 million on our Revolver, $9 million on our Term Loan A and $3 million on our Term Loan B that occurred during the three months ended April 3, 2026. The interest rates with respect to the Revolver, Term Loan A and Term Loan B are based on, at our option, the applicable adjusted reference rate plus an additional margin or base rate plus additional margin. Additionally, there is a commitment fee applicable to available amounts under the Revolver.
The applicable interest rate per annum of the Term B loan facility is term SOFR plus 2.00 % (or base rate plus 1.00 %). The details of the applicable margins and commitment fees under the Revolver, Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-3 are based on our consolidated net leverage ratio as follows:
| Revolver, Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio | Reference Rate (a) | Base Rate | Commitment Fee | |||||||||||||||||

(a)The reference rate for Term Loan A-2 is SOFR.
Both Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-3 provide for quarterly principal payments of 0.625 1.25 0.625 % of the aggregate principal amount and Term Loan B provides for quarterly principal payments of $3 million. Each of Term Loan A-1, Term Loan A-3 and the Revolver matures in February 2029, Term Loan A-2 matures in August 2027 and Term Loan B matures in January 2031.
The Senior Credit Facility contains financial covenants providing for a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as such terms are defined in the Senior Credit Facility). Our consolidated net leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter may not exceed 4.25 to 1 in 2023, reducing to 4.00 to 1 in 2024 and thereafter. Our consolidated interest coverage ratio may not be less than 3.00 to 1 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. As of April 3, 2026, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under our Senior Credit Facility.
Senior Notes
We have $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750 % Senior Notes due 2028 (the "Senior Notes") pursuant to an indenture among us, the guarantors party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as trustee. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee
17
our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of each year and the principal is due on September 30, 2028.
We have the ability to redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at our option, at the redemption prices set forth in the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the redemption date. If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to make an offer to holders of the Senior Notes to repurchase all of the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees
Note 9. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was approximately 28 % and 26 % on income from continuing operations for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate of 28 % for the three months ended April 3, 2026, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, was affected by the rate differential on our foreign earnings, the impact of state and local taxes in the U.S. and discrete activity for the quarter. The effective tax rate of 26 % for the three months ended April 4, 2025, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, was primarily affected by the rate differential on our foreign earnings and the impact of state and local taxes in the U.S.
On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation bill H.R. 1 was enacted into law in the U.S. H.R.1 includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including the elective deduction for domestic Research and Development ("R&D"), a reinstatement of elective 100% first-year bonus depreciation and changes to the interest limitation calculation under 163(j), among other provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the H.R. 1 tax provisions which could affect the Company's effective tax rate and deferred tax assets in 2026 and future periods. A quantitative estimate of the specific financial effects cannot be reasonably determined at this time due to the complexity of the changes in the tax reform and optionality of voluntary elections.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of April 3, 2026 and January 2, 2026 was $123 million and $124 million, respectively. The remaining valuation allowance is primarily related to foreign tax credit carryforwards and foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, do not meet the more likely than not realization threshold. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income, in the appropriate character and source, during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or within the remaining carryforward period. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.
The utilization of the unreserved foreign tax credit carryforwards is based on our ability to generate income from foreign sources of approximately $19 million prior to their expiration. The utilization of other net deferred tax assets, excluding those associated with indefinite-lived intangible assets, is based on our ability to generate U.S. forecasted taxable income of approximately $838 million. Changes in our forecasted taxable income, in the appropriate character and source, as well as jurisdiction, could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.
The provision for uncertain tax positions was $85 million and $76 million as of April 3, 2026 and January 2, 2026, respectively, and was primarily included within income tax payable on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, cost reimbursements or contributions, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary sanctions or relief. We believe the probability is remote that the outcome of any individual matter, including the matters described below, will have a material adverse effect on the corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our net earnings and cash flows in any particular reporting period. Among the factors that we consider in this assessment are the nature of existing legal proceedings and claims, the asserted or possible damages or loss contingency (if estimable), the progress of the case, existing law and precedent, the opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, our experience in similar cases and the experience of other companies, the facts available to us at the time of assessment and how we intend to respond to the proceeding or claim. Our assessment of these factors may change over time as individual proceedings or claims progress.
Although we cannot predict the outcome of legal or other proceedings with certainty, when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable, U.S. GAAP requires us to accrue an estimate of the probable loss or range of loss. In the event a loss is probable, but the probable loss is not reasonably estimable, we are required to make a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. We follow a thorough process in which we seek to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, and only if we are unable to make such an estimate do we conclude and disclose that an estimate cannot be made. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated below in our discussion in Note 11. "U.S. Government Matters", a reasonably possible loss or range of loss associated with any individual contingency cannot be estimated. There have been no substantive developments or changes to existing claims.
Note 11. U.S. Government Matters
We provide services to various U.S. governmental agencies, including the U.S. DoW, NASA, Department of State and other agencies within the Intelligence Community. The negotiation, administration and settlement of our contracts are subject to audit by the DCAA. The DCAA serves in an advisory role to the DCMA, which is responsible for the administration of the majority of our contracts. The scope of these audits includes, among other things, the validity of direct and indirect incurred costs, provisional approval of annual billing rates, approval of annual overhead rates, compliance with the FAR and CAS, compliance with certain unique contract clauses and audits of certain aspects of our internal control systems. Based on the information received to date, we do not believe any completed or ongoing government audits will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The U.S. government also retains the right to pursue various remedies under any of these contracts which could result in challenges to expenditures, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from future business with the U.S. government.
We accrued for probable and reasonably estimable unallowable costs associated with open government matters related to our MTS business in the amounts of $39 million as of April 3, 2026 and $37 million as of January 2, 2026, which are recorded in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Legacy U.S. Government Matters
Between 2002 and 2011, we provided significant support to the U.S. Army and other U.S. government agencies in support of the war in Iraq under the LogCAP III contract. We have been closing out the LogCAP III contract since 2011, and we expect the contract closeout process to continue for at least another year. As a result of our work under LogCAP III, there are claims and disputes pending between us and the U.S. government that need to be resolved in order to close the contract. The contract closeout process includes administratively closing the individual task orders issued under the contract. We continue to work with the U.S. government to resolve the issues to close the remaining task orders, which includes ongoing litigation of third-party vendor disputes. We also have matters related to ongoing litigation or investigations involving U.S. government contracts. We anticipate billing vendor resolution and vendor litigation costs as we resolve the open matters in the future.
First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration. In April 2008, FKTC, one of our LogCAP III subcontractors providing housing containers, filed for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association for several claims under various LogCAP III subcontracts. After a series of arbitration proceedings and related litigation between KBR and the U.S. government, the panel heard the final claims and we received an award on July 27, 2022. FKTC filed a motion for correction of the award asking the tribunal to change its findings. The tribunal denied FKTC's motion in an order issued on October 20, 2022. On January 5, 2023, FKTC filed a motion to vacate the arbitral award in the Eastern District of Virginia Federal District Court. KBR filed its response on February 2, 2023. On March 22, 2023, both parties presented oral arguments. On May 12, 2023, the District Court issued its order denying FKTC’s motion to vacate the arbitration award and confirming the award. On June 12, 2023, the parties submitted their briefs in support of their calculations of the final award amount. KBR sought to confirm the net award of
19
$16 million in KBR’s favor plus post-judgment interest. FKTC sought to offset amounts awarded to KBR with amounts FKTC claimed it was owed based on unpaid principal and post award interest on the awards issued in its favor in the prior arbitration proceedings, totaling $70 million. KBR disagreed with FKTC’s interest claim and calculation. On September 22, 2023, the Court issued a decision finding the net amount due in favor of KBR from FKTC is $8 million. FKTC has appealed this ruling. In June 2025, the appellate court affirmed the judgment in KBR’s favor and then, in July 2025, denied FKTC’s petition for a rehearing en banc. The deadline for FKTC to file a writ to the Supreme Court was October 13, 2025, which passed without any additional filing by FKTC. In addition, in March 2022, FKTC filed a civil action in Kuwait civil court against KBR seeking $100 million in damages. This action is duplicative of the claims decided in arbitration. In September 2022, we filed a motion to dismiss this action for lack of jurisdiction due to the arbitration agreement between KBR and FKTC. On December 7, 2023, the Kuwait Court of Cassation issued a ruling ordering KBR to pay an immaterial provisional damage award and requiring FKTC to refile its case in the Court of First Instance for adjudication. FKTC refiled its case and, in November 2024, served KBR. We filed responsive pleadings, motions to dismiss, and defenses with the Court in December 2025. In March 2026, the lower Court issued a judgment in FKTC's favor in the amount of $41 million, without regard to KBR's defenses of lack of jurisdiction and other defenses. KBR filed an appeal on April 1, 2026. Based on our assessment of existing law and precedent, the opinions or views of legal counsel and the facts available to us, no amounts were accrued as of April 3, 2026.

Note 13. Share Repurchases
Authorized Share Repurchase Program
On February 25, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase our outstanding shares of common stock, which replaced and terminated the August 26, 2011 share repurchase program. On February 20, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized $454 million of share repurchases to be added to the prior authorizations, which increased the total amount authorized and available for repurchase under the share repurchase program to $750 million. As of April 3, 2026, $427 million remained available for repurchase under this authorization. The authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular number of shares of common stock and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued without prior notice. The share repurchases are intended to be funded through our current and future cash flows and the authorization does not have an expiration date.
21
Withhold to Cover Program
We have in place a "withhold to cover" program, which allows us to withhold common shares from employees in connection with the settlement of income tax and related benefit withholding obligations arising from the issuance of share-based equity awards under the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan.
The table below presents information on our share repurchases activity under these programs:

Note 14. Income per Share
Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued using the treasury stock method.

Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Fair value measurements. The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We utilize a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3
23
inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments that are not required to be recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are provided in the following table.
| April 3, 2026 | January 2, 2026 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Term Loan B | Level 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Senior Notes | Level 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revolver | Level 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The carrying value of the debt instruments listed above exclude debt issuance costs for the respective instrument. See Note 8. "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" for the debt issuance costs of our debt instruments and further discussion of our term loans, Senior Notes and Revolver.
The following disclosures for foreign currency risk and interest rate risk includes the fair value hierarchy levels for our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Foreign currency risk. We conduct business globally in numerous currencies and are therefore exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. We may use derivative instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. We generally utilize foreign currency exchange forwards and option contracts to hedge exposures associated with forecasted future cash flows, to hedge exposures present on our balance sheet and to mitigate certain operational exposures.
As of April 3, 2026, the gross notional value of our foreign currency exchange forwards and option contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures was $224 million, all of which had durations of 28 days or less. The fair value of our balance sheet hedges are included in other current assets and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at April 3, 2026 and January 2, 2026. The fair values of these derivatives are considered Level 2 under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, as they are based on quoted prices directly observable in active markets.
The following table summarizes the recognized changes in fair value of our balance sheet hedges and remeasurement of balance sheet positions. These amounts are recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. The net of our changes in fair value of hedges and the remeasurement of our assets and liabilities is included in other non-operating income on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest rate risk. We use interest rate swaps to reduce interest rate risk and to manage net interest expense by converting a portion of our variable rate debt under our Senior Credit Facility into fixed-rate debt.
Our portfolio of interest rate swaps consists of the following:
| Dollars in millions | Notional Amount at April 3, 2026* | Pay Fixed Rate (Weighted Average) | Receive Variable Rate | Settlement and Termination | |||||||||||||||||||
| March 2020 Interest Rate Swaps | $ | % | Term SOFR | Monthly through January 2027 | |||||||||||||||||||

*Includes the April 2025 Forward Interest Rate Swaps that become effective August 14, 2027.
Our interest rate swaps are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at April 3, 2026 was a $13 million asset, of which $12 million is included in other current assets and $1 million is included in other assets. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at January 2, 2026 was a $10 million net asset, of which $11 million is included in other current assets and $1
Sales of Receivables. From time to time, we sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions under various accounts receivable monetization programs. One such program is with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”) under a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “RPA”), which provides the sale to MUFG of certain of our designated eligible receivables, with a significant portion of such receivables being owed by the U.S. government. During the three months ended April 3, 2026, we derecognized $264 million of accounts receivables from the balance sheet under these agreements, of which certain receivables totaling $250 million were sold under the MUFG RPA. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature. The fees incurred are presented in other non-operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Investments. Other investments include investments in equity securities of privately held companies without readily determinable fair values and are included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments are accounted for under the measurement alternative, provided that KBR does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control over the investees. During the three months ended April 3, 2026, we recorded a cash outflow of $49 million within investing activities, reflected as “purchases of available-for-sale debt securities” in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Of this amount, $34 million relates to our investment in Mura, which is discussed in more detail below, and the remaining $15 million relates to aggregate purchases of available-for-sale debt securities in other privately held investments. Additionally, during the three months ended April 3, 2026, we recorded a cash outflow of $13 million within investing activities, reflected as “purchases of other investments” in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows related to the aggregate funding for other investments.
Mura Technology. KBR's aggregate investment in Mura is approximately 17 %. The carrying value of our investment in Mura was $133 million and $136 million at April 3, 2026 and January 2, 2026, respectively.
25
On March 23, 2026, we purchased a Convertible Note security ("Convertible Note") with a principal amount of $34 million. The Convertible Note accrues interest at a rate of 12.00 % per year, with interest payable in March and September of each year, and matures in March 2029. The Convertible Note security included a conversion option and warrants that allows settlement in additional equity interests in Mura in lieu of cash settlement.
The Convertible Note is classified as an available-for-sale debt security in accordance with ASC Topic 320 Investments – Debt Securities and is included in other assets at fair value of $34 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 3, 2026. The Convertible Note, including accrued interest, had an amortized cost basis of $20 million as of April 3, 2026. The detachable warrants were accounted for as an equity instrument, with a carrying value of $14 million as of April 3, 2026. As of April 3, 2026, the effective interest rate of the Convertible Note was 32.27 %. Subsequent changes related to the fair value of the Convertible Note are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are measured using quoted market prices when quoted market prices are available. If quoted market prices for those debt securities are not available, the fair value is determined using an income valuation approach. As of April 3, 2026 the fair value of the available-for-sale debt security, valued using the income valuation approach, approximated the fair value on date of purchase due to no significant changes in market conditions or credit risk between the transaction date and quarter-end date of April 3, 2026. In future periods, the fair value of the Convertible Note will include significant unobservable inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Note 16. Acquisition
Infrastar Limited
On May 17, 2025, we acquired Infrastar Limited for $35 million, which consisted of $15 million of cash and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $20 million that is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets through May 2027. The contingent consideration could result in cash payments aggregating up to approximately $24 million. Within our STS segment, as of April 3, 2026, we recognized $2 million of cash, $11 million of intangible assets related to customer relationships and goodwill of $24 million primarily related to future growth opportunities. As of April 3, 2026, the estimated fair values of net assets acquired were preliminary. There were no changes to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as reported in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For U.S. tax purposes, the transaction is treated as a stock deal. As a result, there is no step-up in tax basis and the goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes.
Note 17. Discontinued Operations
HomeSafe, a joint venture with Tier One Relocation, informed us on June 18, 2025, that U.S. Transportation Command unexpectedly terminated HomeSafe's role in the Global Household Goods Contract. KBR owns a 72 % interest in HomeSafe. The HomeSafe joint venture is a VIE that is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. As of April 3, 2026, all of HomeSafe's operations, including run-off operations, have ceased. We disposed of HomeSafe during the year ended January 2, 2026 and determined that this disposal met the requirements to be reported as discontinued operations under ASC Subtopic 205-20 Discontinued Operations. We classified the disposal of HomeSafe as discontinued operations because it represents a strategic shift that significantly impacted our long-term operations plan. As such, the results of HomeSafe are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. HomeSafe was previously reported within our MTS business segment.

Business Environment and Trends
Mission Technology Outlook
On February 3, 2026, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 was passed, which finalized defense appropriations for fiscal year 2026. This legislation provides for $839 billion in discretionary defense spending. In December 2025, the National Defense Authorization Act ("NDAA") was signed into law. The NDAA authorizes programs, projects and policies to be carried out with funds appropriated by Congress as part of the annual budgetary process. The NDAA supports up to approximately $901 billion in fiscal year 2026 funding for national defense. Additionally, the approved fiscal year 2026 budget for NASA is $24 billion. Additionally, current and future funding requirements related to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East have impacted our customers' budgets and spending priorities.
On April 3, 2026, the Administration provided a proposed fiscal 2027 budget for the U.S. Government which includes approximately $2.2 trillion in base discretionary spending, $1.5 trillion related to defense spending and $0.7 trillion for non-defense spending. The proposed defense spending is 44% higher than the enacted fiscal 2026 defense spending when including mandatory funding. We anticipate the federal budget will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the Administration and Congress, efficiency initiatives, the global security environment, inflationary pressures including tariffs and macroeconomic conditions. Thus far, the Administration's directives have resulted in federal government staff reductions and hiring freezes and may result in delays in contract awards.
Internationally, our government work is performed primarily for the U.K. MoD and the Australian Department of Defence. In June 2025, leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO") agreed to invest 5% of their countries' gross domestic product ("GDP") on defense and security-related spending by 2035. In June 2025, the Strategic Defence Review was completed in the U.K. with plans to increase defense spending to 2.50% of GDP by 2027 and additional increases in following years to reach defense spending of 3.00% of GDP. In 2026, the U.K. Prime Minister reiterated his goal to continue to increase U.K defense spending in future years. The Australian government continues to invest in defense spending, with particular focus on enhancing regional security, modernizing defense capabilities, strengthening cyber defenses and promoting broader economic stability. In April 2026, the Australian Minister for Defence announced that the Australian defense budget will increase to 3.00% of GDP by 2033.
A shift in funding priorities in the U.S. government or internationally could have material impacts on defense spending broadly and our programs. With defense and civil budgets driven in part by political instability, military conflicts, aging platforms and infrastructure and the need for technology advances, we expect continued opportunities to provide solutions and technologies to mission critical work aligned with our customers’ and our nation’s critical priorities.
Sustainable Technology Outlook
Long-range commercial market fundamentals are supported by global population growth, expanding global development and an acceleration of demand for energy transition, renewable energy sources and climate related solutions. The globe is in search of the solution to the energy trilemma, the balance between energy affordability, ensuring energy security and achieving environmental sustainability. The global energy shortage experienced in recent years and geopolitical disruptions of energy flows from key producing regions further highlighted the need for affordable and reliable fuel sources, supporting continued strong structural demand growth. Energy security concerns have been heightened in response to various conflicts around the world, which has caused countries to evaluate their investment strategy in energy markets. Countries are pursuing increases to their investments in diverse geographical areas and energy sources to ensure grid stability.
As the global focus on energy security intensifies and companies continue to commit to near-term carbon neutrality and longer-range net-zero carbon emissions, we expect spending to continue in areas such as decarbonization; carbon capture, utilization and sequestration; biofuels; and circular economy. Clients are prioritizing their efforts to solve the energy trilemma by investing in digital solutions to optimize operations, increase end-product flexibility and energy efficiency and reduce unplanned downtime. Further, leading companies across the world are proactively evaluating clean energy alternatives, including hydrogen and green ammonia, which complements KBR's proprietary process technologies, solutions and capabilities. We expect energy security and energy transition to continue to be areas of priority and investment as many countries, including the U.S., look to boost their economies and invest in a more secure future. While we have not had any material impact to our cost structure or ability to operate, we are monitoring the evolving macroeconomic environment due to
29
ongoing tariffs and the Middle East conflicts including how those tariffs, any inflationary pressure and supply chain disruptions may impact investment decisions from our core client base.
Our Business
KBR's business is organized into two core and one non-core business segments as follows:
Core business segments
• Mission Technology Solutions
• Sustainable Technology Solutions
Non-core business segment
• Corporate
See additional information on our business segments in Note 2. "Business Segment Information" to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Mission Technology Solutions Spin-off
In September 2025, we announced our intention to spin off our Mission Technology Solutions business into a separate, U.S. publicly-traded company. The Planned Spin-Off is intended to be tax-free to us and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes and targeting completion on January 4, 2027, which is the first business day of fiscal 2027. The spin-off will be subject to final approval by our Board of Directors and other customary conditions, including receipt of a favorable opinion of legal counsel and/or a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC, satisfactory completion of financing and other regulatory approvals. Because the intended transaction is a spin-off, the Mission Technology Solutions business is not classified as held for sale and will be reported as continuing operations.

Revenues. The decrease in overall revenue of $95 million, or 5%, to $1,923 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026 from $2,018 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025 is primarily due to reduced contingent activity within the European command in our MTS segment.
Gross profit. The decrease in overall gross profit of $35 million, or 12%, was primarily driven by items decreasing revenues discussed above and changes in licensing mix within our STS segment.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $9 million, or 21%, to $51 million in earnings for the three months ended April 3, 2026, compared to $42 million in earnings for the three months ended April 4, 2025. The increase is primarily attributed to equity in earnings from services on an LNG project within our STS segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended April 3, 2026 were $7 million lower, a 5% decrease compared to the three months ended April 4, 2025, which was primarily driven by a favorable closeout in the first quarter of 2026. This was offset by increased expenses incurred related to the Planned Spin-Off.
Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by decreases in the U.S. federal reserve funds rate from the three months ended April 4, 2025 to the three months ended April 3, 2026.
Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes for income from continuing operations for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025 reflects a 28% tax rate and a 26% tax rate, respectively. The effective tax rate of 28% for the
31
three months ended April 3, 2026, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, was affected by the rate differential on our foreign earnings, the impact of state and local taxes in the U.S. and discrete activity for the quarter. The effective tax rate of 26% for the three months ended April 4, 2025, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, was primarily affected by the rate differential on our foreign earnings and the impact of state and local taxes in the U.S. See Note 9. "Income Taxes" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on income taxes.
Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $2 million and $6 million during the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively, due to the disposal of HomeSafe.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests included in discontinued operations. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests included in discontinued operations was $1 million and $2 million during the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively, due to the disposal of HomeSafe.

MTS revenues decreased by $85 million, or 6%, to $1,296 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026, compared to $1,381 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to reduced contingent activity within the European command in our MTS segment.
MTS operating income decreased by $2 million, or 2%, to $111 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026, compared to $113 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by the item discussed above and increased selling, general and administrative expenses.
Sustainable Technology Solutions
STS revenues were materially consistent for each of the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, decreasing by $10 million, or 2%, to $627 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026, compared to $637 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025.
STS operating income decreased by $14 million, or 11%, to $113 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026, compared to $127 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to changes in licensing mix, offset by a favorable closeout in the three months ended April 3, 2026 and increased equity in earnings from services on an LNG project.
Corporate
Corporate operating loss increased by $6 million, or 16%, to $44 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026, compared to $38 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Planned Spin-Off.
Backlog of Unfilled Orders
Backlog represents the estimated dollar amount of revenues we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work on contracts and our pro-rata share of work to be performed by our unconsolidated joint ventures. We include total estimated revenues in backlog when a contract is awarded under a legally binding agreement. In many instances, arrangements included in backlog are complex, nonrepetitive and may fluctuate over the contract period due to the release of contracted work in phases by the customer. Additionally, nearly all contracts allow customers to terminate the agreement at any time for convenience, and from time to time customers may dispute or try to renegotiate existing contracts. These and other factors may result in delays or changes in our recognition of revenue from our backlog versus amounts we book as backlog. Certain contracts provide maximum dollar limits, with actual authorization to perform work under the contract agreed upon on a periodic basis with the customer. In these arrangements, only the amounts authorized and probable are included in backlog. For projects where we act solely in a project management capacity, we only include the expected value of our services in backlog.
33
We define backlog, as it relates to U.S. government contracts, as our estimate of the remaining future revenue from existing signed contracts over the remaining base contract performance period (including customer approved option periods) for which work scope and price have been agreed with the customer. We define funded backlog as the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized. We define unfunded backlog as the total backlog less the funded backlog. Our MTS backlog does not include any estimate of future potential delivery orders that might be awarded under our government-wide acquisition contracts, agency-specific indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts or other multiple-award contract vehicles, nor does it include option periods that have not been exercised by the customer.
Within our MTS business segment, we calculate estimated backlog for long-term contracts associated with the U.K. government's PFIs based on the aggregate amount that our client would contractually be obligated to pay us over the life of the project. We update our estimates of the future work to be executed under these contracts on a quarterly basis and adjust backlog, if necessary.
We have included in the table below our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint ventures' estimated backlog. As these projects are accounted for under the equity method, only our share of future earnings from these projects will be recorded in our results of operations. Our proportionate share of backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $2.9 billion and $2.8 billion at April 3, 2026 and January 2, 2026, respectively.
The following table summarizes our backlog by business segment as of April 3, 2026, and January 2, 2026, respectively.
| Dollars in millions | April 3, 2026 | January 2, 2026 | |||||||||
| Mission Technology Solutions | $ | 12,622 | $ | 12,552 | |||||||
| Sustainable Technology Solutions | 4,700 | 4,312 | |||||||||
| Total backlog | $ | 17,322 | $ | 16,864 | |||||||
| Award options | 5,861 | 6,347 | |||||||||
| Total backlog and options | $ | 23,183 | $ | 23,211 | |||||||
We estimate that as of April 3, 2026, 37% of our backlog will be executed within one year. Of this amount, we estimate that 81% will be recognized in revenues on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and 19% will be recorded by our unconsolidated joint ventures. As of April 3, 2026, $98 million of our backlog relates to active contracts that are in a loss position.
As of April 3, 2026, 14% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts, 39% was attributable to PFIs, 23% was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts and 24% was attributable to time-and-materials contracts. PFI arrangements are predominantly fixed‑price in nature, and therefore the PFI portion of backlog primarily reflects fixed‑price contractual structures. For contracts that contain fixed-price, cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials components, we classify the individual components as either fixed-price, cost-reimbursable or time-and-materials according to the composition of the contract; however, for smaller contracts, we characterize the entire contract based on the predominant component. As of April 3, 2026, $9.0 billion of our MTS backlog was currently funded by our customers. Excluding PFIs, 39% of our MTS backlog is currently funded by our customers. As of April 3, 2026, we had approximately $5.9 billion of priced option periods not yet exercised by the customer for U.S. government contracts that are not included in the backlog amounts presented above.
The difference between backlog of $17.3 billion and the remaining performance obligations as defined by ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, of $13.6 billion is primarily due to our proportionate share of backlog related to unconsolidated joint ventures which is not included in our remaining performance obligations. See Note 3. "Revenue" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the remaining performance obligations.
34
Transactions with Joint Ventures
We form incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures to execute certain projects. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction management, operations or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for financial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our subcontractor revenues or expenses, however, we recognize profit on our subcontractor scope of work up to but not in excess of the joint venture's percent complete on its scope of work. We recognize revenue over time on our services provided to joint ventures that we consolidate and our services provided to joint ventures that we record under the equity method of accounting. See Note 6. "Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information. The information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Legal Proceedings
Information relating to various commitments and contingencies is described in Notes 5. "Unapproved Change Orders and Claims Against Clients", 10. "Commitments and Contingencies" and 11. "U.S. Government Matters" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is provided by available cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, our Senior Credit Facility (as defined below), sale or divestiture of assets and access to capital markets. Our operating cash flow can vary significantly from year to year and is affected by the mix, terms, timing and stage of completion of our projects. We often receive cash in advance on certain of our sustainable technology projects. On time-and-material and cost reimbursable contracts, we may utilize cash on hand or availability under our Senior Credit Facility to satisfy any periodic operating cash requirements for working capital, as we incur costs and subsequently invoice our customers.
Certain STS services projects may require us to provide credit support for our performance obligations to our customers in the form of letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees. Our ability to obtain new project awards in the future may be dependent on our letter of credit and surety bonding capacity, which may be further dependent on the timely release of existing letters of credit and surety bonds. As the need for credit support arises, letters of credit may be issued under the Revolver (as defined below) or with lending counterparties on a bilateral, syndicated or other basis.
We believe that existing cash balances, internally generated cash flows, availability under our Senior Credit Facility and other lines of credit are sufficient to support our business operations for the next 12 months. As of April 3, 2026, we are in compliance with all financial covenants related to our debt agreements.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $380 million at April 3, 2026, and $500 million at January 2, 2026, and consisted of the following:
| April 3, | January 2, | ||||||||||
| Dollars in millions | 2026 | 2026 | |||||||||
| Domestic U.S. cash | $ | 135 | $ | 210 | |||||||
| International cash | 186 | 238 | |||||||||
| Joint venture and Aspire Defence project cash | 59 | 52 | |||||||||
| Total | $ | 380 | $ | 500 | |||||||
Our cash balances are held in numerous accounts throughout the world to fund our global activities, including acquisitions, joint ventures and other business partnerships. Domestic cash relates to cash balances held by U.S. entities and is largely used to support project activities of those businesses as well as general corporate needs such as the payment of dividends to shareholders, repayment of debt and potential repurchases of our outstanding common stock. Additionally, domestic cash and cash equivalents includes $10 million and $15 million held by our wholly owned captive insurance company as of April 3, 2026 and January 2, 2026, respectively, which is generally not available to KBR to support its other operations.
35
Our international cash balances may be available for general corporate purposes but are subject to local restrictions, such as capital adequacy requirements and maintaining sufficient cash balances to support our U.K. pension plan and other obligations incurred in the normal course of business by those foreign entities. Repatriations of our undistributed foreign earnings are generally free of U.S. tax but may incur withholding and/or state taxes. We consider our future non-U.S. cash needs as 1) our anticipated foreign working capital requirements, including funding of our U.K. pension plan, 2) the expected growth opportunities across all geographical markets and 3) our plans to invest in strategic growth opportunities, which may include acquisitions, joint ventures and other business partnerships around the world, including whether foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. If management were to completely remove the indefinite investment assertion on all foreign subsidiaries, the exposure to local withholding taxes would be less than $10 million.
Joint venture cash and Aspire Defence project cash balances reflect the amounts held by joint venture entities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. These amounts are limited to those entities' activities and are not readily available for general corporate purposes; however, portions of such amounts may become available to us in the future should there be a distribution of dividends to the joint venture partners. We expect that the majority of the joint venture cash balances will be utilized for the corresponding joint venture purposes or for paying dividends.
As of April 3, 2026, substantially all of our excess cash was held in interest bearing operating accounts or short-term investment accounts with the primary objectives of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| Three months ended | |||||||||||
| Dollars in millions | April 3, 2026 | April 4, 2025 | |||||||||
| Cash flows provided by operating activities - continuing operations | $ | 110 | $ | 91 | |||||||
| Cash flows used in investing activities - continuing operations | (188) | (3) | |||||||||
| Cash flows used in financing activities - continuing operations | (43) | (6) | |||||||||
| Total cash flows from discontinued operations | (2) | 1 | |||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | 2 | 9 | |||||||||
| Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (121) | $ | 92 | |||||||
Operating Activities - continuing operations. Cash provided by operations totaled $110 million and $91 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively, as compared to net income from continuing operations of $103 million and $121 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of working capital balances for projects. Working capital levels vary from year to year and are primarily affected by our volume of work. These levels are also impacted by the mix, stage of completion and commercial terms of projects. Working capital requirements also vary by project depending on the type of client and location throughout the world.
During the three months ended April 3, 2026, cash flows increased primarily due to changes in the primary components of our working capital. The primary components of our working capital accounts are accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and contract liabilities. These components are impacted by the size and changes in the mix of our cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials projects versus fixed price projects, and as a result, fluctuations in these components are not uncommon in our business. These increases were offset by decreases in distributions of earnings from unconsolidated affiliates.
Investing Activities - continuing operations. Cash used in investing activities totaled $188 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026 primarily due to an investment within the BRIS joint venture for $115 million associated with BRIS closing on an agreement to acquire a welding and turnaround services provider. Additionally, we had purchases of available-for-sale debt securities of $49 million, purchases of other investments of $13 million and capital expenditures of $12 million. See Note 6. "Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the investment in equity method investment to BRIS and Note 15. "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the available-for-sale debt securities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $3 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025, primarily related to capital expenditures.
36
Financing Activities - continuing operations. Cash used in financing activities totaled $43 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026. The primary uses of cash in financing activities were $141 million in payments on the Revolver, $21 million of dividend payments to common shareholders, $9 million in payments on our Term Loan A, $3 million in payments on our Term Loan B and $4 million for the repurchase of common stock under our "withhold to cover" program. These decreases were offset by $141 million in borrowings on our Revolver.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $6 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025. The primary uses of cash in financing activities were $150 million for the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program, $6 million for the repurchase of common stock under our "withhold to cover" program, $95 million in payments on the Revolver and $20 million of dividend payments to common shareholders. These decreases were offset by $275 million in borrowings on our Revolver.
Cash flows from discontinued operations. Cash flows from discontinued operations are associated with the disposal of HomeSafe. Cash provided by (used in) operations totaled $(2) million and $7 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively. Changes in HomeSafe's working capital accounts were the primary components of operating cash flows for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025. Cash used in investing activities totaled $6 million for the three months ended April 4, 2025 which is related to capital expenditures. See Note 17. "Discontinued Operations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Future sources of cash. We believe that future sources of cash include cash flows from operations (including accounts receivable monetization arrangements), cash derived from working capital management and cash borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.
Future uses of cash. We believe that future uses of cash include working capital requirements, joint venture capital calls, capital expenditures, dividends, pension funding obligations, repayments of borrowings, share repurchases, legal settlements of any currently outstanding legal matter or any future legal proceeding and strategic investments including acquisitions, joint ventures and other business partnerships. Our capital expenditures will be focused primarily on facilities and equipment to support our businesses. In addition, we will use cash to make payments under leases and various other obligations, including potential litigation payments, as they arise.
We anticipate that, in connection with and prior to the completion of the Planned Spin-Off, the Mission Technology Solutions business will make a cash distribution to KBR using proceeds received from its anticipated financing transactions to be undertaken as part of its transition to an independent, publicly traded company. We intend to use the cash distributed to KBR by the Mission Technology Solutions business to reduce our level of indebtedness.
Other factors potentially affecting liquidity
Ichthys LNG Project. As part of the settlement agreement between JKC and Ichthys LNG, Pty, Ltd (collectively, “the Parties”) in October 2021, KBR’s letters of credit were reduced to $82 million from $164 million. Additionally, as part of this settlement agreement, the Parties agreed to consult in good faith and to cooperate to seek maximum recovery from the insurance policies and paint manufacturer for the deterioration of paint and insulation on certain exterior areas of the plant. The Parties agreed to collectively pursue claims against the paint manufacturer and JKC has assigned claims under the insurance policy regarding the paint and insulation matters to the client. The parties have agreed that if, at the date of final resolution of the above proceedings and claims with respect to the paint and insulation matters, the recovered amount from the paint manufacturer and insurance claim is less than the stipulated ceiling amount in the settlement agreement, JKC will pay the client the difference between the stipulated ceiling amount and the recovered amount. JKC has provided for and continues to maintain a provision for this contingent liability.
U.K. pension obligation. We have recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets a funding surplus of $95 million (calculated as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations as of April 3, 2026) for our frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The funding requirements for our U.K. pension plan are determined based on the U.K. Pensions Act 1995. Annual minimum funding requirements are based on a binding agreement with the Trustee of the U.K. pension plan that is negotiated on a triennial basis. This schedule of contributions will be reviewed by the Trustee and KBR no later than 15 months after the effective date of each actuarial valuation, due every three years. In 2024, the Trustee of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan commenced the triennial actuarial valuation of the plan which was finalized during the year ended January 2, 2026. At this time, we do not anticipate contributing additional funding to this plan at least until the next triennial valuation occurs. In the future, pension funding may increase or decrease depending on changes in the levels of interest rates, pension plan asset return performance and other factors. A significant increase in our funding requirements for the U.K. pension plan could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position.
37
Sales of Receivables. From time to time, we sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions under various accounts receivable monetization programs. One such program is with MUFG under a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement, which provides the sale to MUFG of certain of our designated eligible receivables, with a significant portion of such receivables being owed by the U.S. government. We plan to continue to utilize these programs to ensure we have flexibility to meet our capital needs. Refer to Note 15. "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our sales of receivables.
Credit Agreement and Senior Credit Facility
Information relating to our Senior Credit Facility is described in Note 8. "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Senior Notes
Information relating to our Senior Notes is described in Note 8. "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees. In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into various arrangements providing financial or performance assurance to customers on behalf of certain consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. Such off-balance sheet arrangements include letters of credit, surety bonds and corporate guarantees to support the creditworthiness or project execution commitments of these entities and typically have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period beyond completion in certain circumstances such as for warranties. We may also guarantee that a project, once completed, will achieve specified performance standards. If the project subsequently fails to meet guaranteed performance standards, we may incur additional costs, pay liquidated damages or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to achieve the required performance standards. The potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under an outstanding performance arrangement is typically the remaining estimated cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed under the contract. For fixed-price contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete the project. If costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, we may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, subcontractors or vendors for claims.
In our joint venture arrangements, the liability of each partner is usually joint and several. This means that each joint venture partner may become liable for the entire risk of performance guarantees provided by each partner to the customer. Typically, each joint venture partner indemnifies the other partners for any liabilities incurred in excess of the liabilities the other party is obligated to bear under the respective joint venture agreement. We are unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees related to joint venture projects due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of any contractual defaults by our joint venture partners, resource availability, potential performance delays caused by the defaults, the location of the projects and the terms of the related contracts. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our fixed-price contracts and operations through joint ventures and partnerships.
In certain limited circumstances, we enter into financial guarantees in the ordinary course of business, with financial institutions and other credit grantors, which generally obligate us to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower’s obligation. We account for both financial and performance guarantees at fair value at issuance in accordance with ASC Subtopic 460-10, Guarantees, and, as of April 3, 2026, we had no material guarantees of the work or obligations of third parties recorded.
As of April 3, 2026, we had a $1 billion committed line of credit on the Revolver under our Senior Credit Facility and $488 million of bilateral and uncommitted lines of credit. As of April 3, 2026, with respect to our Revolver, we had $395 million of outstanding borrowings. We also have $17 million of outstanding letters of credit on our Senior Credit Facility. With respect to our $488 million of bilateral and uncommitted lines of credit, we utilized $288 million for letters of credit as of April 3, 2026. The total remaining capacity of these committed and uncommitted lines of credit was approximately $788 million as of
38
April 3, 2026, all of which can be used toward issuing letters of credit. Information relating to our letters of credit is described in Note 8. "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2. Other than discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not engaged in any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements through special purpose entities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates from those set forth in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended January 2, 2026, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major banks throughout the world. We invest excess cash and cash equivalents in short-term securities, primarily money market funds, which carry a fixed rate of return. We have not incurred any credit risk losses related to deposits of our cash and cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Risk. Because of the global nature of our business, we are exposed to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have historically attempted to limit exposure to foreign currency fluctuations through provisions requiring the client to pay us in currencies corresponding to the currency in which cost is incurred. In addition to this natural hedge, we may use foreign exchange forward contracts and options to hedge material exposures when forecasted foreign currency revenues and costs are not denominated in the same currency and when efficient markets exist. These derivatives are generally designated as cash flow hedges and are carried at fair value.
We use derivative instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to hedge foreign currency risk related to non-functional currency assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and to mitigate certain operational exposures. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes or make speculative investments in foreign currencies. Each period, these hedges are marked to market through earnings and the change in their fair value is largely offset by remeasurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. We recorded a net gain of $2 million and a net loss of $3 million during the three months ended April 3, 2026 and April 4, 2025, respectively, in other non-operating income on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of these derivatives was not material to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 3, 2026. Information relating to fair value measurements is described in Note 15. "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management" to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.
Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for the Revolver and term loan borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. We had $395 million of borrowings issued under the Revolver as of April 3, 2026. Additionally, we had $1,957 million outstanding under the term loan portions of the Senior Credit Facility as of April 3, 2026. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates as described in Note 8. "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We use interest rate swaps to reduce interest rate risk and to manage net interest expense by converting our variable rate debt under our Senior Credit Facility into fixed-rate debt. Our portfolio of interest rate swaps consists of the following:
| Dollars in millions | Notional Amount at April 3, 2026* | Pay Fixed Rate (Weighted Average) | Receive Variable Rate | Settlement and Termination | |||||||||||||||||||
| March 2020 Interest Rate Swaps | $ | 400 | 0.89 | % | Term SOFR | Monthly through January 2027 | |||||||||||||||||

The swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges at inception in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at April 3, 2026 was a $13 million asset, of which $12 million is included in other current assets and $1 million is included in other assets. Information relating to our portfolio of interest rate swaps is described in Note 15. "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management" to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.
At April 3, 2026, we had fixed rate debt aggregating $1,813 million and variable rate debt aggregating $789 million, after taking into account the effects of the interest rate swaps that were effective at April 3, 2026. Our weighted average interest rate net of the impact from our swap agreements for the three months ended April 3, 2026 was 4.94%. If interest rates were to increase by 50 basis points, pre-tax interest expense would increase by approximately $4 million in the next twelve months net of the impact from our swap agreements, based on outstanding borrowings as of April 3, 2026.
