FLUOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

(1)                  Principles of Consolidation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include footnotes and certain financial information normally presented annually under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the company’s December 31, 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of results that can be expected for the full year.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly its consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain amounts in 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation due to the implementation of new accounting pronouncements discussed below. Segment operating information for 2015 has been recast to reflect changes in the composition of the company’s reportable segments as discussed in Note 16. Management has evaluated all material events occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements up to the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 include the financial statements of Stork Holding B.V. (“Stork”) since March 1, 2016, the date of acquisition. See Note 17 for a discussion of the acquisition.

 

(2)                  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

New accounting pronouncements implemented by the company during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” on a retrospective basis. This ASU requires entities to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-17, deferred tax assets of $173 million were reclassified from current assets to noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have any impact on the company’s results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements — Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update),” which clarifies the presentation and measurement of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line of credit arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2015-15 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” on a prospective basis. This ASU clarifies the circumstances under which a cloud computing customer would account for the arrangement as a license of internal-use software. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” on a retrospective basis. This ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet by requiring entities to present such costs as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset.

2015-03, debt issuance costs of $6 million were reclassified from noncurrent assets to a direct deduction of long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have any impact on the company’s results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” This ASU amends the consolidation guidance for VIEs and general partners’ investments in limited partnerships and modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-01, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” Under this ASU, an entity will no longer be allowed to separately disclose extraordinary items, net of tax, in the income statement after income from continuing operations if an event or transaction is unusual in nature and occurs infrequently. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230, which often requires judgment to determine the appropriate classification of cash flows as operating, investing or financing activities and has resulted in diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on the company’s cash flows.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current practice with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payment awards, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting” which eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply equity method accounting when an investor obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-07 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships.” This ASU clarifies that the novation of a derivative contract in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedge accounting relationship. ASU 2016-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2016-05 can be applied on either a prospective or modified retrospective basis. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-05 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,” which amends the existing guidance on accounting for leases. This ASU requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted and modified retrospective application is required for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments — Overall — Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and to recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for a practicability exception. ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This ASU requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and to provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and subsequent interim reporting periods. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 outlines a five-step process for revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards, and also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Major provisions include determining which goods and services are distinct and require separate accounting (performance obligations), how variable consideration (which may include change orders and claims) is recognized, whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time and ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price.

 

As a result of the deferral of the effective date in ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers — Deferral of the Effective Date,” the company will now be required to adopt ASU 2014-09 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 can be applied either retrospectively to each prior period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” which clarifies the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08 clarifies how an entity determines whether to report revenue gross or net based on whether it controls a specific good or service before it is transferred to a customer. ASU 2016-08 also reframes the indicators to focus on evidence that an entity is acting as a principal rather than as an agent.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 amends how an entity should identify performance obligations for immaterial promised goods or services, shipping and handling activities and promises that may represent performance obligations. ASU 2016-10 also provides implementation guidance for determining the nature of licensing and royalties arrangements.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” which also clarifies certain aspects of ASU 2014-09 including the assessment of collectability, presentation of sales taxes, treatment of noncash

consideration, and accounting for completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. ASU 2016-12, 2016-10 and 2016-08 are effective upon adoption of ASU 2014-09.

 

Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12 on the company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. Adoption of these ASUs is expected to affect the manner in which the company determines the unit of account for its projects (i.e., performance obligations). Under existing guidance, the company typically segments revenue and margin recognition between the engineering and construction phases of its contracts. Upon adoption, the company expects that the entire engineering and construction contract will typically be a single unit of account (a single performance obligation), which will result in a more constant recognition of revenue and margin over the term of the contract. The company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018. The company expects to adopt this new standard using the modified retrospective method that will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.

(4)                Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rates on earnings from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were impacted by a benefit for a favorable resolution of an IRS audit for tax years 2009-2013 and an increase in the research tax credit. Both the 2015 and 2016 periods benefitted from earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not typically the responsibility of the company. The company’s effective tax rate on the loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 35.5 percent.

 

The company conducts business globally and, as a result, the company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Although the company believes its reserves for its tax positions are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits could be materially different, both favorably and unfavorably. With few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2012.

 

(5)                   Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes

 

Cash paid for interest was $55 million and $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Income tax payments, net of refunds, were $138 million and $148 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

(6)                   Earnings Per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) reflects the assumed exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the company repurchased and cancelled 202,650 shares of its common stock under its stock repurchase program for approximately $10 million. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2016. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company repurchased and cancelled 3,165,855 and 6,888,531 shares, respectively, of its common stock under its stock repurchase program for approximately $145 million and $360 million, respectively.

 

(7)                  Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

·  Level 1  — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

·  Level 2  — inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable, either directly or indirectly

·  Level 3  — unobservable inputs

Commodity and foreign currency contracts are estimated using standard pricing models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows.

 

All of the company’s financial instruments carried at fair value are included in the table above. All of the above financial instruments are available-for-sale securities except for those held in the deferred compensation trusts (which are trading securities) and derivative assets and liabilities. The company has determined that there was no other-than-temporary impairment of available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses, and the company expects to recover the entire cost basis of the securities. The available-for-sale securities are made up of the following security types as of September 30, 2016: money market funds of $18 million, U.S. agency securities of $12 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $87 million and corporate debt securities of $103 million. As of December 31, 2015, available-for-sale securities consisted of money market funds of $19 million, U.S. agency securities of $18 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $102 million and corporate debt securities of $189 million. The amortized cost of these available-for-sale securities is not materially different from the fair value. During the three and nine

(3)     Marketable securities, current consist of held-to-maturity time deposits with original maturities greater than three months that will mature within one year. The carrying amounts of these time deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Amortized cost is not materially different from the fair value.

 

(4)     Notes receivable are carried at net realizable value which approximates fair value. Factors considered by the company in determining the fair value include the credit worthiness of the borrower, current interest rates, the term of the note and any collateral pledged as security. Notes receivable are periodically assessed for impairment.

 

(5)     The fair value of the 1.750% Senior Notes, 3.375% Senior Notes and 3.5% Senior Notes were estimated based on quoted market prices for similar issues.

 

(6)     Amounts represent borrowings under the company’s €125 million Revolving Credit Facility which expires in April 2017, as discussed in Note 10. The carrying amount of the borrowings under this revolving credit facility approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity.

 

(7)     Other borrowings as of September 30, 2016 primarily represent bank loans and other financing arrangements assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Stork. See Note 17 for a further discussion of the acquisition. The majority of these borrowings mature within one year. The carrying amounts of the borrowings under these arrangements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity.

(8)                  Derivatives and Hedging

 

The company limits exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in most of its engineering and construction contracts through provisions that require client payments in currencies corresponding to the currencies in which cost is incurred. Certain financial exposure, which includes currency and commodity price risk associated with engineering and construction contracts, currency risk associated with monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies and risk associated with interest rate volatility, may subject the company to earnings volatility. In cases where financial exposure is identified, the company generally implements a hedging strategy utilizing derivative instruments as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk. These hedging instruments are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The company formally documents its hedge relationships at inception, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. The company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the hedging instruments are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items. The fair values of all hedging instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. For fair value hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is offset against the change in the fair value of the underlying asset or liability through earnings. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s gain or loss due to changes in fair value is recorded as a component of AOCI and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged item settles. Any ineffective portion of a hedging instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The company maintains master netting arrangements with certain counterparties to facilitate the settlement of derivative instruments; however, the company reports the fair value of derivative instruments on a gross basis.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the company had total gross notional amounts of $817 million of foreign currency contracts and $5 million of commodity contracts outstanding relating to hedging of engineering and construction contract obligations and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. The foreign currency contracts are of varying duration, none of which extend beyond December 2019. The commodity contracts are of varying duration, none of which extend beyond December 2017. The impact to earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

The fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

UNAUDITED

 

The company currently expects to contribute between $15 million and $20 million into its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans during 2016, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, contributions of approximately $15 million were made by the company.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, lump-sum distributions to participants of the U.S. Plan exceeded the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost. As a result, the company recorded a pre-tax settlement charge of $9 million during the third quarter of 2015 which was included in “Corporate general and administrative expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The lump-sum distributions were funded by assets of the U.S. Plan.

 

In anticipation of the plan settlement, the company purchased $10 million in investments in limited partnerships from the U.S. Plan during the third quarter of 2015, as allowed under a prohibited transaction exemption with the U.S. Department of Labor. The purchase price approximated the fair value of the investments as of September 30, 2015. The company’s investments in the limited partnerships are accounted for as cost method investments.

 

(10)            Financing Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2016, the company had a combination of committed and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $6.0 billion that may be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. As of September 30, 2016, letters of credit and borrowings totaling $1.9 billion were outstanding under these committed and uncommitted lines of credit. The committed lines of credit include a $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility and a $1.8 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility. Both facilities mature in February 2021. The company may utilize up to $1.75 billion in the aggregate of the combined $3.5 billion committed lines of credit for revolving loans, which may be used for acquisitions and/or general purposes. Each of the credit facilities may be increased up to an additional $500 million subject to certain conditions, and contains customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to tangible net worth of one-to-one and a cap on the aggregate amount of debt of the greater of $750 million or €750 million for the company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under both facilities, which may be denominated in USD, EUR, GBP or CAD, bear interest at rates based on the Eurodollar Rate or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin.

 

In connection with the Stork acquisition, the company assumed a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility that bore interest at EURIBOR plus 3.75%. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility which may be used for revolving loans, bank guarantees, letters of credit and to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility expires in April 2017 and bears interest at EURIBOR plus .75%. The €125 million Revolving Credit Facility was included in committed lines of credit as of September 30, 2016. Outstanding borrowings under this facility amounted to €80 million (or approximately $90 million) as of September 30, 2016.

 

Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily to indemnify the company’s clients if the company fails to perform its obligations under its contracts. Surety bonds may be used as an alternative to letters of credit.

 

In March 2016, the company issued €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes (the “2016 Notes”) due March 21, 2023 and received proceeds of €497 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2016 Notes is payable annually on March 21 of each year, beginning on March 21, 2017. Prior to December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Additionally, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at any time upon the occurrence of certain changes in U.S. tax laws, as described in the indenture,  at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In November 2014, the company issued $500 million of 3.5% Senior Notes (the “2014 Notes”) due December 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $491 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and began on June 15, 2015. Prior to September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the

indenture. On or after September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In September 2011, the company issued $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes (the “2011 Notes”) due September 15, 2021 and received proceeds of $492 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2011 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and began on March 15, 2012. The company may, at any time, redeem the 2011 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture.

 

For the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes, if a change of control triggering event occurs, as defined by the terms of the respective indentures, the company will be required to offer to purchase the applicable notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The company is generally not limited under the indentures governing the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness provided the company is in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of Stork on March 1, 2016, the company assumed Stork’s outstanding debt obligations, including its 11.0% Super Senior Notes due 2017 (the ‘‘Stork Notes’’), borrowings under the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility, and other debt obligations. On March 2, 2016, the company gave notice to all holders of the Stork Notes of the full redemption of the outstanding €273 million (or approximately $296 million) principal amount of Stork Notes plus a redemption premium of €7 million (or approximately $8 million) effective March 17, 2016. The redemption of the Stork Notes was initially funded with additional borrowings under the company’s $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, which borrowings were subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes. Certain other outstanding debt obligations assumed in the Stork acquisition of €20 million (or approximately $22 million) were settled in March 2016. See Note 17 for a further discussion of the acquisition.

 

Other borrowings of $54 million as of September 30, 2016 primarily represent bank loans and other financing arrangements assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Stork, exclusive of the Stork Notes.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants related to its debt agreements.

 

(11)           Stock-Based Plans

 

The company’s executive and director stock-based compensation plans are described, and informational disclosures are provided, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, restricted stock units totaling 553,415 and 556,323, respectively, were granted to executives and directors, at weighted-average per share prices of $46.50 and $58.85, respectively. For the company’s executives, the restricted stock units granted in 2016 and 2015 generally vest ratably over three years. For the company’s directors, the restricted stock units granted in 2016 and 2015 vest or vested on the first anniversary of the grant. During the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, options for the purchase of 662,001 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $46.07 per share and 963,288 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $59.05 per share, respectively, were awarded to executives. The options granted in 2016 and 2015 vest ratably over three years. The options expire ten years after the grant date.

 

In the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, performance-based Value Driver Incentive (“VDI”) units totaling 98,684 and 430,970, respectively, were granted to executives at weighted-average per share prices of $46.07 and $59.05, respectively. The number of units is adjusted at the end of each performance period based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. The VDI awards granted in 2016 and 2015 can only be settled in company stock and are accounted for as equity awards in accordance with ASC 718. The VDI awards granted in 2016 and 2015 vest after a period of approximately three years. Stock-based VDI awards granted during 2016 are also subject to a post-vest holding period restriction for the period of three years.

(12)           Noncontrolling Interests

 

The company applies the provisions of ASC 810-10-45, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net earnings attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.

 

As required by ASC 810-10-45, the company has separately disclosed on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for all periods presented the amount of net earnings attributable to the company and the amount of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $13 million and $46 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $10 million and $44 million, respectively. Income taxes associated with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were immaterial in both periods presented. Distributions paid to noncontrolling interests were $26 million and $45 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Capital contributions by noncontrolling interests were $9 million and $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

(13)           Contingencies and Commitments

 

The company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to litigation, claims and other commitments and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the asserted value of these matters may be significant, the company currently does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any open matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Other Matters

 

The company has made claims arising from the performance under its contracts. The company recognizes revenue, but not profit, for certain claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) when it is determined that recovery of incurred costs is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Under ASC 605-35-25, these requirements are satisfied when (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. The company periodically evaluates its position and the amounts recognized in revenue with respect to all its claims. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the company had recorded $56 million and $30 million, respectively, of claim revenue for costs incurred to date and such costs are included in contract work in progress. Additional costs, which will increase the claim revenue balance over time, are expected to be incurred in future quarters. The company believes the ultimate recovery of incurred and future costs related to these claims is probable in accordance with ASC 605-35-25.

 

From time to time, the company enters into significant contracts with the U.S. government and its agencies. Government contracts are subject to audits and investigations by government representatives with respect to the company’s compliance with various restrictions and regulations applicable to government contractors, including but not limited to the allowability of costs incurred under reimbursable contracts. In connection with performing government contracts, the company maintains reserves for estimated exposures associated with these matters.

 

(14)           Guarantees

 

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated and consolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities. The performance guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the company could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees, which represents the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts, was estimated to be $17.3 billion

 

22



Table of Contents

 

FLUOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

as of September 30, 2016. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated cost to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. 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 lump-sum or 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. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, the company may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The company assessed its performance guarantee obligation as of September  30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in accordance with ASC 460, “Guarantees,” and the carrying value of the liability was not material.

 

Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company 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.

 

(15)           Partnerships and Joint Ventures

 

In the normal course of business, the company forms partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. The majority of these partnerships or joint ventures are characterized by a 50 percent or less, noncontrolling ownership or participation interest, with decision making and distribution of expected gains and losses typically being proportionate to the ownership or participation interest. Many of the partnership and joint venture agreements provide for capital calls to fund operations, as necessary. Receivables related to work performed for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $181 million and $132 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

For unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in the construction industry, the company generally recognizes its proportionate share of revenue, cost and profit in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and uses the one-line equity method of accounting on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which is a common application of ASC 810-10-45-14 in the construction industry. The equity method of accounting is also used for other investments in entities where the company has significant influence. The company’s investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures accounted for under these methods amounted to $487 million and $292 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and were classified under “Investments” and “Other accrued liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In February 2016, the company made an initial cash investment of $350 million in COOEC Fluor Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“CFHI”), a joint venture in which the company has a 49% ownership interest and Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, has 51% ownership interest. Through CFHI, the two companies own, operate and manage the Zhuhai Fabrication Yard in China’s Guangdong province. An additional investment of $62 million was made in the third quarter of 2016 and another $78 million is expected to be made in September 2017.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation,” the company assesses its partnerships and joint ventures at inception to determine if any meet the qualifications of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The company considers a partnership or joint venture a VIE if either (a) the total equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity), or (c) the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Upon the occurrence of certain events outlined in ASC 810, the company reassesses its initial determination of whether the partnership or joint venture is a VIE. The majority of the company’s partnerships and joint ventures qualify as VIEs

 

23



Table of Contents

 

FLUOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

because the total equity investment is typically nominal and not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.

 

The company also performs a qualitative assessment of each VIE to determine if the company is its primary beneficiary, as required by ASC 810. The company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE if the company has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The company considers the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties in determining if the company is the primary beneficiary. The company also considers all parties that have direct or implicit variable interests when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary. As required by ASC 810, management’s assessment of whether the company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is continuously performed.

 

The net carrying value of the unconsolidated VIEs classified under “Investments” and “Other accrued liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was a net asset of $21 million and $208 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Some of the company’s VIEs have debt; however, such debt is typically non-recourse in nature. The company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding commitments. Future funding commitments as of September 30, 2016 for the unconsolidated VIEs were $36 million.

 

In some cases, the company is required to consolidate certain VIEs. As of September 30, 2016, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.1 billion and $570 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $863 million and $443 million, respectively. The assets of a VIE are restricted for use only for the particular VIE and are not available for general operations of the company.

 

The company has agreements with certain VIEs to provide financial or performance assurances to clients. See Note 14 for a further discussion of such agreements. A discussion of some of the company’s more significant or unique VIEs is provided in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

(16)           Operating Information by Segment

 

During the first quarter of 2016, the company changed the composition of its reportable segments to better reflect the diverse end markets that the company serves. The company now reports its operating results in four reportable segments as follows: Energy, Chemicals & Mining; Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; Government; and Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity. Segment operating information and assets for 2015 have been recast to reflect these changes.

 

The Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment is driven by the supply and demand for commodities. This segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and project management services for chemicals and petrochemicals, downstream refining, pipelines, upstream oil and gas production, liquefied natural gas and offshore production markets. This segment also provides design, engineering, procurement, construction, project management and commissioning and start-up support for mining and metals markets.

 

The Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction, project management, start-up and commissioning, and technical services to the transportation, commercial and institutional, life sciences and advanced manufacturing, telecommunications, microelectronics and water sectors as well as the gas fueled, solid fueled, environmental compliance, renewables, and nuclear power markets. The Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment includes the operations of NuScale Power, LLC, an Oregon-based designer of small modular nuclear reactors, which is managed as a separate operating segment within the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment.

 

The Government segment provides engineering, construction, logistics, base and facilities operations and maintenance, contingency response and environmental and nuclear services to the U.S. government and governments abroad.

FLUOR CORPORATION

UNAUDITED

 

The Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment is comprised of several operating segments that do not meet the requirements under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” for separate disclosure, and therefore, have been combined under the aggregation criteria of ASC 280. The Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment includes the operations of the company’s equipment business, temporary staffing, power services, the former operations and maintenance business line as well as Stork.

 

For service contracts (including maintenance contracts) that do not satisfy the criteria for revenue recognition using the percentage-of-completion method, revenue is recognized when services are performed. Revenue recognized on service contracts that have not been billed to clients is classified as a current asset under contract work in progress. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are classified as a current liability under advance billings on contracts.

In May 2014, NuScale entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) establishing the terms and conditions of a multi-year funding award that allows certain qualified expenditures to be reimbursed. NuScale expenses included in the determination of segment profit were $22 million and $70 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $29 million and $65 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

reimbursable expenses of $15 million and $47 million for the three and nine month periods of 2016, respectively, and $13 million and $44 million for the three and nine month periods of 2015, respectively. The company recognizes the cost-sharing award with the DOE, when earned, as a reduction of “Total cost of revenue” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and, correspondingly, as an increase to segment profit in the period for which the related costs are recognized.

The increase in total assets in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment resulted from the company’s investment in CFHI and increased working capital in support of project execution activities. The increase in total assets in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment resulted from increased working capital in support of project execution activities. The increase in total assets in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity resulted from the company’s acquisition of Stork.

 

(17)           Acquisition of Stork Holding B.V.

 

In December 2015, the company signed an agreement to acquire 100 percent of Stork for an aggregate purchase price of €695 million (or approximately $756 million), including the assumption of debt and other liabilities. Stork, based in the Netherlands, is a global provider of maintenance, modification and asset integrity services associated with large existing industrial facilities in the oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, industrial and power markets.

 

On March 1, 2016 (“the acquisition date”), the company completed the Stork acquisition and paid €276 million (or approximately $300 million) in cash consideration. The company borrowed €200 million (or approximately $217 million) under its $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, and paid €76 million (or approximately $83 million) of cash on hand to initially finance the Stork acquisition. The €200 million borrowed under the $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility was subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes as discussed in Note 10.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition, the company assumed Stork’s outstanding debt obligations, including the Stork Notes, borrowings under a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility, and other debt obligations. On March 2, 2016, the company gave notice to all holders of the Stork Notes of the full redemption of the outstanding €273 million (or approximately

FLUOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

$296 million) principal amount of Stork Notes plus a redemption premium of €7 million (or approximately $8 million) effective March 17, 2016. The redemption of the Stork Notes was initially funded with additional borrowings under the company’s $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, which borrowings were subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes. Certain other outstanding debt obligations assumed in the Stork acquisition of €20 million (or approximately $22 million) were settled in March 2016. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility that is available to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility expires in April 2017 and bears interest at EURIBOR plus .75%.

 

The purchase accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Stork acquisition is incomplete as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q. Third party valuations for property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and liabilities, and pension obligations are still underway; and the company is continuing to assess deferred taxes, certain tax positions and other liabilities related to the acquisition. Therefore, the amounts recognized in the financial statements for the business combination have been determined provisionally. The aggregate purchase price noted above has been preliminarily allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, totaling €429 million (or approximately $466 million), has been preliminarily recorded as goodwill.

 

The company has made certain changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation since the initial estimates reported in the first quarter of 2016. These changes primarily relate to the following:

 

·                  Identifiable intangible assets, which were originally aggregated with goodwill, have been separately reported at their estimated fair value of €167 million (or approximately $181 million).

 

·                  Deferred tax liabilities increased by €47 million (or approximately $51 million) primarily to record the deferred tax impact of valuation adjustments associated with identifiable intangible assets.

 

·                  Property, plant and equipment increased by €8 million (or approximately $9 million) to reflect its estimated fair value.

 

·                  Additional fair value adjustments, primarily related to contracts, and certain balance sheet reclassifications have been made to other assets and liabilities resulting in a net decrease of €25 million (or approximately $27 million) to net assets acquired. These adjustments did not materially affect any individual asset or liability account.

 

·                  Goodwill decreased by €103 million (or approximately $112 million) to reflect all of the changes to the purchase price allocation noted above.

 

Adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to the income effects that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments to provisional amounts were recognized as of the acquisition date were not significant.

(1)         Acquired intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and trade names. A third party valuation is currently underway to determine the fair value of identifiable intangible assets and their useful lives.

 

(2)         Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. Factors contributing to the goodwill balance include the acquired established workforce and the estimated future synergies associated with the combined operations. Of the total goodwill recorded in conjunction with the Stork acquisition, none is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized in conjunction with the Stork acquisition has been reported in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment.

 

Since the acquisition date, revenue and earnings from Stork of $350 million and $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $863 million and $9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, have been included on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Integration costs of $1 million and $12 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and transaction costs of $11 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were included in corporate general and administrative expense. No transactions costs were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

(18)           Partial Sale of a Subsidiary

 

On September 30, 2015, the company sold 50% of its ownership of Fluor S.A., its principal Spanish operating subsidiary, to Sacyr Industrial, S.L.U. for a cash purchase price of approximately $46 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The company deconsolidated the subsidiary and recorded a pre-tax non-operating gain of $68 million during the third quarter of 2015, which was determined based on the sum of the proceeds received on the sale and the estimated fair value of the company’s retained 50% noncontrolling interest, less the carrying value of the net assets associated with the former subsidiary. The estimated fair value of the company’s retained noncontrolling interest was $44 million as of the transaction date. The fair value was estimated using a combination of income-based and market-based valuation approaches utilizing unobservable Level 3 inputs, including significant management assumptions such as forecasted revenue and operating margins, weighted average cost of capital and earnings multiples. Observable inputs, such as the cash consideration received for the divested share of the entity, were also considered.

 

(19)           Discontinued Operations

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company made payments totaling $306 million to settle certain lead exposure cases associated with the divested lead business of St. Joe Minerals Corporation and The Doe Run Company in Herculaneum, Missouri, which the company sold in 1994. The company has filed suit against the buyer seeking indemnification for all liabilities arising from these lead exposure cases.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company recorded an after-tax loss from discontinued operations of $5 million resulting from the settlement of lead exposure cases related to the divested lead business and the payment of legal fees incurred in connection with a pending indemnification action against the buyer of the lead business for these settlements and others. The tax effects associated with these losses were $3 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes and the company’s December 31, 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For purposes of reviewing this document, “segment profit” is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests excluding: corporate general and administrative expense; interest expense; interest income; domestic and foreign income taxes; other non-operating income and expense items; and loss from discontinued operations.

 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements made herein, including statements regarding the company’s projected revenue and earnings levels, cash flow and liquidity, new awards and backlog levels and the implementation of strategic initiatives are forward-looking in nature. We wish to caution readers that forward-looking statements, including disclosures which use words such as the company “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from expectations. Factors potentially contributing to such differences include, among others:

 

·                  The cyclical nature of many of the markets the company serves, including our commodity-based business lines, and our vulnerability to downturns;

·                  The company’s failure to receive anticipated new contract awards and the related impact on revenue, earnings, staffing levels and cost;

·                  Difficulties or delays incurred in the execution of contracts, or failure to accurately estimate the resources and time necessary for our contracts, resulting in cost overruns or liabilities, including those caused by the performance of our clients, subcontractors, suppliers and joint venture or teaming partners;

·                  Failure to meet timely completion or performance standards that could result in higher cost and reduced profits or, in some cases, losses on projects;

·                  Intense competition in the global engineering, procurement and construction industry, which can place downward pressure on our contract prices and profit margins;

·                  Failure of our joint venture partners to perform their venture obligations, which could impact the success of those ventures and impose additional financial and performance obligations on us, resulting in reduced profits or losses;

·                  Failure to obtain favorable results in existing or future litigation or dispute resolution proceedings (including claims for indemnification), or claims against project owners, subcontractors or suppliers;

·                  Client delays or defaults in making payments;

·                  Repercussions of events beyond our control, such as severe weather conditions, that may significantly affect operations, result in higher cost or subject the company to liability claims by our clients;

·                  Current economic conditions affecting our clients, partners, subcontractors and suppliers, which may result in decreased capital investment or expenditures, or a failure to make anticipated increased capital investment or expenditures, by the company’s clients or other financial difficulties by our partners, subcontractors or suppliers;

·                  Cybersecurity breaches of our systems and information technology;

·                  Liabilities arising from faulty services that could result in significant professional or product liability, warranty or other claims;

·                  Failure of our suppliers or subcontractors to provide supplies or services at the agreed-upon levels or times;

·                  Client cancellations of, or scope adjustments to, existing contracts and the related impacts on staffing levels and cost;

·                  The risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions or other investments, including the failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses;

·                  Changes in global business, economic (including currency risk), political and social conditions;

·                  Civil unrest, security issues, labor conditions and other unforeseeable events in the countries in which we do business, resulting in unanticipated losses;

·                  Failure of our employees, agents or partners to comply with laws, which could result in harm to our reputation and reduced profits or losses;

·                  The potential impact of certain tax matters including, but not limited to, those from foreign operations and the ongoing audits by tax authorities;

·                  Possible systems and information technology interruptions or the failure to adequately protect intellectual property rights;

·                  The impact of anti-bribery and international trade laws and regulations;

·                  The impact of past and future environmental, health and safety regulations including climate change regulations;

Any forward-looking statements that we may make are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those anticipated by us. Any forward-looking statements are subject to the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results of operations, financial condition, cost reductions, acquisitions, dispositions, financing transactions, operations, expansion, consolidation and other events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

 

Due to known and unknown risks, the company’s actual results may differ materially from its expectations or projections. While most risks affect only future cost or revenue anticipated by the company, some risks may relate to accruals that have already been reflected in earnings. The company’s failure to receive payments of accrued amounts or incurrence of liabilities in excess of amounts previously recognized could result in a charge against future earnings. As a result, the reader is cautioned to recognize and consider the inherently uncertain nature of forward-looking statements and not to place undue reliance on them.

 

Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the company’s press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under the heading “Item 1A. — Risk Factors” in the company’s Form 10-K filed February 18, 2016. These filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, on the company’s website at http://investor.fluor.com or upon request from the company’s Investor Relations Department at (469) 398-7220. The company cannot control such risk factors and other uncertainties, and in many cases, cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties should be considered when evaluating the company and deciding whether to invest in its securities. Except as otherwise required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Summary

 

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased 9 percent from $4.4 billion to $4.8 billion compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased 2 percent from $13.7 billion to $14.0 billion compared to the first nine months of the prior year. During both periods, revenue growth in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power, Government and Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segments were partially offset by revenue declines in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment. The revenue growth in both periods resulted primarily from increased project execution activities for several power projects, as well as revenue contributions from the Stork acquisition. Revenue in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment decreased in both 2016 periods due to reduced levels of project execution activities in the mining and metals business line and for certain large chemical projects that were completed or nearing completion in the prior year periods.

 

Earnings from continuing operations attributable to Fluor Corporation were $5 million and $211 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to earnings from continuing operations attributable to Fluor Corporation of $176 million and $469 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2015. Earnings from continuing operations attributable to Fluor Corporation for the three and nine month periods of 2016 were adversely affected by after-tax charges of $154 million and $170 million, respectively, related to forecast revisions for estimated cost increases on a petrochemical project in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, which were partially offset by higher contributions from power projects in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment. Net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were also affected by higher corporate general and administrative expenses, primarily associated with the Stork acquisition. Earnings from continuing operations attributable to Fluor Corporation in the prior year periods included a $68 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of 50 percent of the company’s ownership interest in its principal operating subsidiary in Spain to facilitate the formation of an Energy, Chemicals & Mining joint venture.

Table of Contents

 

As discussed in Note 19 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the company recorded an after-tax loss from discontinued operations of $5 million (net of taxes of $3 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulting from the settlement of lead exposure cases and the payment of legal fees related to the divested lead business of St. Joe Minerals Corporation and The Doe Run Company in Herculaneum, Missouri, which the company sold in 1994. The company has filed suit against the buyer seeking indemnification for all liabilities arising from these lead exposure cases.

 

The effective tax rates on earnings from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were impacted by a benefit for a favorable resolution of an IRS audit for tax years 2009-2013 and an increase in the research tax credit. Both the 2015 and 2016 periods benefitted from earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not typically the responsibility of the company. The company’s effective tax rate on the loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 35.5 percent.

 

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.03 and $1.50 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $1.21 and $3.17 for the corresponding periods of 2015. Current period earnings were adversely affected by forecast revisions for estimated cost increases on a petrochemical project in the United States of $1.10 per diluted share and $1.20 per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

 

The company’s results reported by foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are affected by foreign currency volatility. When the U.S. dollar appreciates against the non-U.S. dollar functional currencies of these subsidiaries, the company’s reported revenue, cost and earnings, after translation into U.S. dollars, are lower than what they would have been had the U.S. dollar depreciated against the same foreign currencies or if there had been no change in the exchange rates.

 

The Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment remains well positioned for new project activity; however, declining commodity prices have affected the timing of new awards and the pace of execution on certain existing projects.

 

Consolidated new awards were $7.0 billion and $18.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to new awards of $5.3 billion and $14.0 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Energy, Chemicals & Mining,  Industrial, Infrastructure & Power and Government segments were the major contributors to the new award activity in the first nine months of 2016, including an award for the Tengiz Oil Expansion Project in Kazakhstan that was awarded in the third quarter. Approximately 46 percent of consolidated new awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were for projects located outside of the United States compared to 62 percent for the first nine months of 2015.

 

Consolidated backlog as of September 30, 2016 was $44.3 billion compared to $41.7 billion as of September 30, 2015. The increase in backlog was primarily due to new awards booked after the third quarter of 2015 in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining and Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segments partially offset by a current period adjustment for a liquefied natural gas project that was suspended in the third quarter. As of September 30, 2016, approximately 53 percent of consolidated backlog related to projects outside of the United States compared to 66 percent as of September 30, 2015. Although backlog reflects business which is considered to be firm, cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. Backlog is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, and deferrals, as appropriate.

 

On March 1, 2016, the company acquired 100 percent of Stork Holding B.V. (“Stork”) for an aggregate purchase price of €695 million (or approximately $756 million), including the assumption of debt and other liabilities. Stork, based in the Netherlands, is a global provider of maintenance, modification and asset integrity services associated with large existing industrial facilities in the oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, industrial and power markets. The company paid €276 million (or approximately $300 million) in cash consideration. The operations of Stork are reported in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment below. See Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the acquisition.

 

In February 2016, the company made an initial cash investment of $350 million in COOEC Fluor Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“CFHI”), a joint venture in which the company has a 49% ownership interest and Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, has 51% ownership interest. Through CFHI, the two companies own, operate and manage the Zhuhai Fabrication Yard in China’s Guangdong province. An additional investment of $62 million was made in the third quarter of 2016 and another $78 million is expected to be made in September 2017.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, the company changed the composition of its reportable segments to better reflect the diverse end markets that the company serves. The company now reports its operating results in four reportable segments as follows: Energy, Chemicals & Mining; Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; Government; and Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity. Segment operating information and assets for 2015 have been recast to reflect these changes. See Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the company’s reportable segments.

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased by 17 percent and 20 percent, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2015, primarily due to a significant decline in volume of the mining and metals business line, including the completion of a large mining project. The revenue decline for both periods were further driven by reduced volume of project execution activities for certain large chemical projects that were completed or nearing completion in the prior year and forecast revisions on a large petrochemical project in the United States.

 

Segment profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 significantly decreased compared to the corresponding periods in 2015. Segment profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was adversely affected by forecast revisions for estimated cost increases on a petrochemical project in the United States of $241 million and $265 million, respectively. The decrease in segment profit for both periods was also driven by reduced contributions from the mining and metals business line and chemical projects that were completed or nearing completion in the prior year. The decline in segment profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was further driven by certain upstream projects that were completed or nearing completion in the prior year, including a coal bed methane project in Australia. Segment profit margins for the three and nine month periods of 2016 were also adversely affected by the forecast revisions on the petrochemical project discussed above. Aside from these forecast revisions, segment profit margins benefitted slightly from favorable performance in other areas of the business.

 

During the third quarter of 2015, the company recognized a $68 million pre-tax non-operating gain related to the sale of 50 percent of the company’s ownership interest in its principal operating subsidiary in Spain to facilitate the formation of an Energy, Chemicals & Mining joint venture, which was excluded from segment profit above.

 

New awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $5.6 billion and $7.4 billion, compared to $3.6 billion and $9.8 billion for the corresponding periods of 2015. New awards in the current quarter include an upstream award for the Tengiz Oil Expansion Project in Kazakhstan. Backlog of $23.7 billion as of September 30, 2016 decreased from $30.1 billion as of September 30, 2015. The reduction in backlog resulted from new award activity being outpaced by work performed and a current period adjustment for a liquefied natural gas project that has been suspended. The continued decline in oil prices since the latter part of 2014 has affected the timing of new awards and pace of execution on certain existing projects. The mining and metals business line also continues to experience the deferral of major capital investment decisions by some mining customers as a result of softening commodity demand.

 

Total assets in the segment were $2.4 billion as of September 30, 2016 compared to $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2015. The increase in total assets primarily resulted from the company’s investment in CFHI and increased working capital in support of project execution activities.

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased by 89 percent and 72 percent, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to increased project execution activities in the power business line for several projects, including two nuclear projects and several gas-fired power plants in the southeastern United States, as well as increased project execution activities in the infrastructure business line for several projects in the early stages of project execution.

Table of Contents

 

Segment profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 significantly increased from the corresponding periods in 2015 primarily due to the higher volume of project execution activities for the power projects mentioned above, as well as the adverse impact on segment profit for the prior year periods resulting from forecast revisions on a large gas fired power plant. The increase in segment profit during the nine month period was slightly offset by reduced contributions from the infrastructure business line as a result of the prior period benefiting from close out activities on certain completed projects. Segment profit margin significantly increased during the three and nine month periods of 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 principally driven by the same factors affecting segment profit.

 

The Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment includes the operations of NuScale, which are primarily research and development activities. In May 2014, NuScale entered into a Cooperative Agreement establishing the terms and conditions of a funding award totaling $217 million under the DOE’s Small Modular Reactor Licensing Technical Support Program. This cost-sharing award requires NuScale to use the DOE funds to cover first-of-a-kind engineering costs associated with small modular reactor design development and certification. The DOE is to provide cost reimbursement for up to 43 percent of qualified expenditures incurred during the period from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2019. The company recognizes the cost-sharing award as a reduction of “Total cost of revenue” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and, correspondingly, as an increase to segment profit in the period for which the related costs are recognized. NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable expenditures, included in the determination of segment profit, were $22 million and $70 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $29 million and $65 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

New awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $74 million and $4.9 billion, compared to $1.3 billion and $1.9 billion for the corresponding periods of 2015. Backlog increased to $11.5 billion as of September 30, 2016 compared to $5.1 billion as of September 30, 2015 primarily due to new awards in the infrastructure business line booked in the first half of 2016 and new awards in the power business line booked in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Total segment assets were $764 million as of September 30, 2016 compared to $544 million as of December 31, 2015. The increase in total assets in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment resulted from increased working capital in support of project execution activities.

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased 3 percent and 6 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The revenue growth for both periods was primarily due to project execution activities for the recently awarded Idaho Cleanup Project Core Contract (“Idaho Core Project”) and construction projects within the services business line. Revenue growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was also due to increased project execution activity for the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant Project and the Savannah River Site Management and Operating Project (“Savannah River”). The increases in both periods were largely offset by reduced project execution activity for a multi-year nuclear decommissioning project in the United Kingdom, as well as continued reduction in project execution activities for the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (“LOGCAP IV”) for the United States Army in Afghanistan.

 

Segment profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased 12 percent and increased 6 percent, respectively, compared to the three and nine months of the corresponding 2015 periods. Segment profit for the three months ended September 30, 2016 declined primarily due to reduced project execution activities for the LOGCAP IV program, which was partially offset by increased contribution from the Idaho Core Project and the favorable effect of the segment’s cost optimization efforts. The increase in segment profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily resulted from the favorable effect of the segment’s cost optimization efforts and contributions from project execution activities for the Idaho Core Project, which more than offset the reduced project execution activities for the LOGCAP IV program during the period. Segment profit margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 3.9 percent and 3.2 percent, respectively,

compared to 4.5 percent and 3.2 percent for the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease in segment profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to the factors noted above impacting revenue and segment profit.

 

New awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $955 million and $4.5 billion, respectively, compared to $277 million and $1.1 billion for the same periods in the prior year. This increase in new awards for the three month period was primarily driven by additional funding on the Savannah River contract extension. Backlog as of September 30, 2016 increased to $5.9 billion compared to $3.8 billion as of September 30, 2015 due to the first quarter award of the Idaho Core contract and incremental awards on existing long-term nuclear decommissioning contracts. Total backlog included $3.8 billion of unfunded government contracts as of September 30, 2016.

 

Total assets in the Government segment were $504 million as of September 30, 2016 compared to $495 million as of December 31, 2015.

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased by 94 percent and 70 percent, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Revenue in 2016 includes seven months of revenue associated with the acquisition of the Stork business, which closed on March 1, 2016. The increase in revenue from Stork during both periods was partially offset by lower revenue for the equipment business line due to the demobilization of projects in Latin America and North America and a lower level of project execution activities in the power services business line.

 

Segment profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 declined by 7 percent and 5 percent compared to the same periods in the prior year. The declines in both periods resulted primarily from the lower level of project execution activities in the power services business line, which exceeded segment profit contributions from Stork during the periods. Segment profit margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 4.7 percent and 5.0 percent, respectively, compared to 9.7 percent and 9.0 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, principally driven by the inclusion of Stork in 2016, and reduced profit margins in the power services business line.

 

New awards for the three and nine months of 2016 were $350 million and $1.4 billion, respectively, compared to $108 million and $1.2 billion for the corresponding periods of 2015. Backlog of $3.3 billion as of September 30, 2016 increased from $2.7 billion as of September 30, 2015. The increase in backlog is primarily due to the inclusion of backlog from the Stork acquisition.

 

The total assets were $2.1 billion as of September 30, 2016, compared to $924 million as of December 31, 2015. The increase in total assets resulted from the company’s acquisition of Stork.

 

Other

 

Corporate general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $27 million and $135 million, respectively, compared to $35 million and $124 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expense for the three month period of 2016 was primarily due to foreign currency exchange gains. The increase in corporate general and administrative expense for the nine month period of 2016 was primarily attributable to transaction costs and integration activities associated with the Stork acquisition partially offset by foreign currency exchange gains. Net interest expense was $13 million and $38 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $6 million and $20 million during the corresponding periods of 2015. The increases were primarily due to interest associated with debt assumed in the Stork acquisition and the €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes issued in March 2016. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is discussed above under “— Summary.”

LITIGATION AND MATTERS IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

See Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Liquidity is provided by available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, credit facilities and access to capital markets. The company has committed and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $6.0 billion, which may be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. The company believes that for at least the next 12 months, cash generated from operations, along with its unused credit capacity of $4.1 billion and substantial cash position, is sufficient to support operating requirements. However, the company regularly reviews its sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to increase its liquidity position. The company’s financial strategy and consistent performance have earned it strong credit ratings, resulting in competitive advantage and continued access to the capital markets. As of September 30, 2016, the company was in compliance with all the financial covenants related to its debt agreements.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2016 compared to $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2015. Cash and cash equivalents combined with current and noncurrent marketable securities were $2.1 billion and $2.4 billion as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents are held in numerous accounts throughout the world to fund the company’s global project execution activities. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents amounted to $931 million and $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents exclude deposits of U.S. legal entities that are either swept into overnight, offshore accounts or invested in offshore, short-term time deposits, to which there is unrestricted access.

 

In evaluating its liquidity needs, the company considers cash and cash equivalents held by its consolidated VIEs (joint ventures and partnerships). These amounts (which totaled $429 million and $290 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) were not necessarily readily available for general purposes. In its evaluation, the company also considers the extent to which the current balance of its advance billings on contracts (which totaled $717 million and $754 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) is likely to be sustained or consumed over the near term for project execution activities and the cash flow requirements of its various foreign operations. In some cases, it may not be financially efficient to move cash and cash equivalents between countries due to statutory dividend limitations and/or adverse tax consequences. The company did not consider any cash to be permanently reinvested overseas as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and, as a result, has accrued the U.S. deferred tax liability on foreign earnings, as appropriate.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings sources and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities which consist primarily of working capital balances for projects. Working capital levels vary from period to period and are primarily affected by the company’s volume of work. These levels are also impacted by the mix, stage of completion and commercial terms of engineering and construction projects, as well as the company’s execution of its projects within budget. Working capital requirements also vary by project and relate to clients in various industries and locations throughout the world. Most contracts require payments as the projects progress. The company evaluates the counterparty credit risk of third parties as part of its project risk review process. The company maintains adequate reserves for potential credit losses and generally such losses have been minimal and within management’s estimates. Additionally, certain projects receive advance payments from clients. A normal trend for these projects is to have higher cash balances during the initial phases of execution which then level out toward the end of the construction phase. As a result, the company’s cash position is reduced as customer advances are utilized, unless they are replaced by advances on other projects. The company maintains cash reserves and borrowing facilities to provide additional working capital in the event that a project’s net operating cash outflows exceed its available cash balances.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, working capital increased primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and contract work in progress partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Specific factors related to these drivers include:

 

36



Table of Contents

 

·                  An increase in accounts receivable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, which resulted primarily from normal billing activities for several projects.

 

·                  An increase in contract work in progress in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment, which resulted primarily from normal project execution activities for two nuclear projects.

 

·                  Increases in accounts payable for both the Energy, Chemicals & Mining and Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segments, which resulted primarily from normal invoicing and payment activities.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, working capital decreased primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in advance billings partially offset by an increase in prepaid income taxes and a decrease in accounts payable. Specific factors related to these drivers include:

 

·                  A decrease in accounts receivable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, primarily related to collections for a coal bed methane gas project in Australia.

 

·                  An increase in advance billings in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment which was the result of normal project execution activities for several projects.

 

·                  A decrease in accounts payable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment. The lower accounts payable balance in 2015 resulted from invoicing and payment activities for numerous projects including an oil sands facility in Canada and the coal bed methane gas project in Australia.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $452 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $570 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from a lower level of net earnings in the current year and an increase in working capital outlays compared to 2015. Cash outflows in the 2015 period included a $306 million settlement associated with discontinued operations as discussed below.

 

The company contributed $15 million into its international defined benefit pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $33 million during the corresponding period of the prior year. The company currently expects to contribute between $15 million and $20 million during 2016, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required.

 

During 2014, the company recorded a loss from discontinued operations in connection with the reassessment of estimated loss contingencies related to the previously divested lead business of St. Joe Minerals Corporation and The Doe Run Company in Herculaneum, Missouri. In October 2014, the company entered into a settlement agreement with counsel for a number of plaintiffs, and in January 2015, the company paid $306 million pursuant to the settlement agreement. See Note 19 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the matter.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash utilized by investing activities amounted to $717 million and $170 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The primary investing activities included purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities; capital expenditures; disposals of property, plant and equipment; investments in partnerships and joint ventures; and business acquisitions.

 

The company holds cash in bank deposits and marketable securities which are governed by the company’s investment policy. This policy focuses on, in order of priority, the preservation of capital, maintenance of liquidity and maximization of yield. These investments include money market funds which invest in U.S. Government-related securities, bank deposits placed with highly-rated financial institutions, repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by U.S. Government-related securities, high-grade commercial paper and high quality short-term and medium-term fixed income securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities exceeded purchases of such securities by $136 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, purchases of marketable securities exceeded proceeds from sales and maturities of such securities by $39 million. The company held combined current and noncurrent marketable securities of $281 million and $418 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Capital expenditures of $166 million and $181 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to construction equipment associated with equipment operations in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset

Integrity segment, as well as expenditures for facilities and investments in information technology. Proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment of $61  million and $70 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to the disposal of construction equipment associated with the equipment operations in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment.

 

On March 1, 2016, the company acquired 100 percent of Stork for an aggregate purchase price of €695 million (or approximately $756 million), including the assumption of debt and other liabilities. Stork, based in the Netherlands, is a global provider of maintenance, modification and asset integrity services associated with large existing industrial facilities in the oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, industrial and power markets. The company paid €276 million (or approximately $300 million) in cash consideration. The company borrowed €200 million (or approximately $217 million) under its $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, and paid €76 million (or approximately $83 million) of cash on hand to initially finance the Stork acquisition. The €200 million borrowed under the $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility was subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes as discussed in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

On September 30, 2015, the company sold 50% of its ownership of Fluor S.A., its principal Spanish operating subsidiary, to Sacyr Industrial, S.L.U. for a cash purchase price of approximately $46 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The company deconsolidated the subsidiary and recorded a pre-tax non-operating gain of $68 million during the third quarter of 2015, which was determined based on the proceeds received on the sale and the estimated fair value of the company’s retained 50% noncontrolling interests, less the carrying value of the net assets associated with the former subsidiary.

 

Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures were $518 million and $81 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included cash investments totaling $412 million in COOEC Fluor Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“CFHI”), a joint venture in which the company has a 49% ownership interest and Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, has 51% ownership interest. Through CFHI, the two companies own, operate and manage the Zhuhai Fabrication Yard in China’s Guangdong province. An additional investment of $78 million is expected to be made in September 2017.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities of $98 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and cash utilized by financing activities of $534 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included company stock repurchases, company dividend payments to stockholders, proceeds from the issuance of senior notes, repayments of debt, borrowings and repayments under revolving lines of credit, and distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests.

 

Cash utilized by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 included the repurchase and cancellation of 202,650 and 6,888,531 shares of the company’s common stock for approximately $10 million and $360 million, respectively, under its stock repurchase program.

 

Quarterly cash dividends are typically paid during the month following the quarter in which they are declared. Therefore, dividends declared in the fourth quarter of 2015 were paid in the first quarter of 2016. Quarterly cash dividends of $0.21 per share were declared in the third quarter of 2016 and 2015. The payment and level of future cash dividends is subject to the discretion of the company’s Board of Directors.

 

In March 2016, the company issued €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes (the “2016 Notes”) due March 21, 2023 and received proceeds of €497 million (or approximately $553 million), net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2016 Notes is payable annually on March 21 of each year, beginning on March 21, 2017. Prior to December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Additionally, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at any time upon the occurrence of certain changes in U.S. tax laws, as described in the indenture, at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In November 2014, the company issued $500 million of 3.5% Senior Notes (the “2014 Notes”) due December 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $491 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and began on June 15, 2015. Prior to September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Table of Contents

 

In September 2011, the company issued $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes (the “2011 Notes”) due September 15, 2021 and received proceeds of $492 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2011 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and began on March 15, 2012. The company may, at any time, redeem the 2011 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture.

 

For the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes, if a change of control triggering event occurs, as defined by the terms of the respective indentures, the company will be required to offer to purchase applicable notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The company is generally not limited under the indentures governing the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness provided the company is in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of Stork on March 1, 2016, the company assumed Stork’s outstanding debt obligations, including its 11.0% Super Senior Notes due 2017 (the ‘‘Stork Notes’’), borrowings under a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility, and other debt obligations. On March 2, 2016, the company gave notice to all holders of the Stork Notes of the full redemption of the outstanding €273 million (or approximately $296 million) principal amount of Stork Notes plus a redemption premium of €7 million (or approximately $8 million) effective March 17, 2016. The redemption of the Stork Notes was initially funded with additional borrowings under the company’s $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, which borrowings were subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes. Certain other outstanding debt obligations assumed in the Stork acquisition of €20 million (or approximately $22 million) were settled during the three months ended March 31, 2016. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility that is available to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility expires in April 2017 and bears interest at EURIBOR plus .75%.

 

Distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests represent cash outflows to partners of consolidated partnerships or joint ventures created primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. Distributions paid were $26 million and $45 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Distributions in 2016 primarily related to two transportation joint venture projects in the United States. Distributions in 2015 primarily related to a mining joint venture project in Australia and an infrastructure road project in the United States.

 

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

 

Unrealized translation gains and losses resulting from changes in functional currency exchange rates are reflected in the cumulative translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, some major foreign currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation losses of $63 million, of which $3 million related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, most major foreign currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation losses of $129 million, of which $78 million related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. The cash held in foreign currencies will primarily be used for project-related expenditures in those currencies, and therefore the company’s exposure to exchange gains and losses is generally mitigated.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Guarantees and Commitments

 

As of September 30, 2016, the company had a combination of committed and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $6.0 billion that may be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. As of September 30, 2016, letters of credit and borrowings totaling $1.9 billion were outstanding under these committed and uncommitted lines of credit. The committed lines of credit include a $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility and a $1.8 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility. Both facilities mature in February 2021. The company may utilize up to $1.75 billion in the aggregate of the combined $3.5 billion committed lines of credit for revolving loans, which may be used for acquisitions and/or general purposes. Each of the credit facilities may be increased up to an additional $500 million subject to certain conditions, and contain customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to tangible net worth of one-to-one and a cap on the aggregate amount of debt of the greater of $750 million or €750 million for the company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under both facilities, which may be denominated in USD, EUR, GBP or CAD, bear interest at rates based on the Eurodollar Rate or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin.

In connection with the Stork acquisition, the company assumed a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility that bore interest at EURIBOR plus 3.75%. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility which may be used for revolving loans, bank guarantees, letters of credit and to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility expires in April 2017 and bears interest at EURIBOR plus .75%. The €125 million Revolving Credit Facility was included in committed lines of credit as of September 30, 2016. Outstanding borrowings under this facility amounted to €80 million (or approximately $90 million) as of September 30, 2016.

 

Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily to indemnify the company’s clients if the company fails to perform its obligations under its contracts. Surety bonds may be used as an alternative to letters of credit.

 

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated and consolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities. The performance guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the company could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees, which represents the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts, was estimated to be $17.3 billion as of September 30, 2016. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated cost to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. 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 lump-sum or 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. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, the company may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The company assessed its performance guarantee obligation as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in accordance with ASC 460, “Guarantees,” and the carrying value of the liability was not material.

 

Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company 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.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In the normal course of business, the company forms partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. The company evaluates each partnership and joint venture to determine whether the entity is a VIE. If the entity is determined to be a VIE, the company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary and needs to consolidate the entity.

 

For further discussion of the company’s VIEs, see Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

There have been no material changes to market risk in the first nine months of 2016. Accordingly, the disclosures provided in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 remain current.
