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, 2016 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 months ended March 31, 2017 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. 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 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 first quarter of 2017 or requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.

 

In the first quarter of 2017, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-17, “Interests Held through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control” which amends the consolidation requirements that apply to a single decision maker’s evaluation of interests held through related parties that are under common control when it is determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The adoption of ASU 2016-17 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2017, the company adopted ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects of 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. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with option exercises and vested share awards are now recognized as income tax benefit or expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings instead of in additional paid-in capital. Additionally, the excess tax benefits are now presented as an operating activity on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, rather than as a financing activity. ASU 2016-09 also changed the method the company uses to calculate shares for diluted earnings per share (discussed further in Note 6). The company adopted the provision of ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis; therefore, these changes are effective beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2017, the company adopted 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. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2017, the company adopted 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. The adoption of ASU 2016-05 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

FLUOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-08, “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” For purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, ASU 2017-08 requires entities to amortize the premium to the earliest call date rather than over the contractual life of the instrument. Therefore, entities will no longer recognize a loss in earnings on the unamortized premium upon the issuer’s exercise of a call. ASU 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-08 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” ASU 2017-07 requires employers to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component. ASU 2017-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-07 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. ASU 2017-01 requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-01 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” ASU 2016-18 requires an entity to include in its cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-18 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2016, the 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 2016-15 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 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.

 

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 represent separate 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. 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.

 

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which allows an entity to determine the provision for loss contracts at either the contract level or the performance obligation level as an accounting policy election.

 

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, “Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets,” which clarifies that the scope and application of ASC 610-20 on accounting for the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales, applies only when the asset (or asset group) does not meet the definition of a business. ASU 2017-05, 2016-20, 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, 2016-12, 2016-20 and 2017-05 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.

(1)            Defined benefit pension plan adjustments were reclassified primarily to total cost of revenue and corporate general and administrative expense.

 

(4)                     Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 17.2 percent and 37.1 percent, respectively. The lower effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is primarily due to a worthless stock deduction on an insolvent foreign subsidiary. Both periods benefit from earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not typically the responsibility of the company.

 

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 a 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 2013.

 

(5)                  Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes

 

Cash paid for interest was $23 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Income tax payments, net of refunds, were $34 million and $27 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies that were previously recorded to additional paid-in capital have been excluded from the hypothetical proceeds used to calculate the repurchase of shares under the treasury stock method beginning in the first quarter of 2017.

 

The calculations of the basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are presented below:

(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

 

The company measures and reports assets and liabilities at fair value utilizing pricing information received from third parties. The company performs procedures to verify the reasonableness of pricing information received for significant assets and liabilities classified as Level 2.

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 March 31, 2017: money market funds of $24 million, U.S. agency securities of $11 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $83 million, corporate debt securities of $97 million and commercial paper of $5 million. As of December 31, 2016, available-for-sale securities consisted of money market funds of $21 million, U.S. agency securities of $11 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $87 million and corporate debt securities of $100 million. The amortized cost of these available-for-sale securities is not materially different from the fair value.

(1)    Cash consists of bank deposits. Carrying amounts approximate fair value.

 

(2) Cash equivalents consist of held-to-maturity time deposits with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The carrying amounts of these time deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

(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 expired 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 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. Under ASC 815, in certain limited circumstances, foreign currency payment provisions could be deemed embedded derivatives. If an embedded foreign currency derivative is identified, the derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and the change in fair value is recognized through earnings. 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 March 31, 2017, the company had total gross notional amounts of approximately $912 million of foreign currency contracts (primarily related to the British Pound, Kuwaiti Dinar, Indian Rupee, Philippine Peso and South Korean Won) and $1 million of commodity contracts outstanding related 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 months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

(10)            Financing Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2017, the company had a combination of committed and uncommitted lines of credit that may be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. As of March 31, 2017, letters of credit and borrowings totaling $1.8 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 2022. 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 was used for revolving loans, bank guarantees, letters of credit and to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility, which bore interest at EURIBOR plus .75%, expired in April 2017 and was included in committed lines of credit as of March 31, 2017. There were no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of March 31, 2017.

 

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 (or approximately $551 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. We may, from time to time, repurchase the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes or the 2011 Notes in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

 

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 $47 million as of March 31, 2017 and $35 million as of December 31, 2016 primarily represent bank loans and other financing arrangements assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Stork, exclusive of the Stork Notes.

 

As of March 31, 2017, 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, 2016. In the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, restricted stock units totaling 363,051 and 525,975, respectively, were granted to executives, at weighted-average grant date fair values of $53.36 per share and $43.20 per share, respectively. Restricted stock units granted to executives in 2017 and 2016 generally vest ratably over three years. For certain executives, restricted stock units are subject to a post-vest holding period of three years. The fair value of restricted stock units represents the closing price of the company’s common stock on the date of grant discounted for the post-vest holding period, when applicable.

 

During the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, stock options for the purchase of 1,103,817 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $55.35 per share and 662,001 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $46.07 per share, respectively, were awarded to executives. The exercise price of options represents the closing price of the company’s common stock on the date of grant. The options granted in 2017 and 2016 vest ratably over three years and expire ten years after the grant date.

 

In the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, performance-based Value Driver Incentive (“VDI”) units totaling 249,204 and 296,052, respectively, were awarded to executives. These awards vest after a period of approximately three years and contain annual performance conditions for each of the three years of the vesting period. The performance targets for each year are generally established in the first quarter of that year. Under ASC 718, performance-based awards are not deemed granted for accounting purposes until the performance targets have been established. Accordingly, only one-third of the units awarded in any given year are deemed to be granted each year of the three year vesting period. During the first quarter of 2017, units totaling 83,068 and 92,094 under the 2017 and 2016 VDI plans, respectively, were granted at weighted-average grant date fair values of $53.35 per share and $51.62 per share, respectively. The grant date fair value is determined by adjusting the closing price of the company’s common stock on the date of grant for the post-vest holding period discount and for the effect of the market condition, when applicable. For awards granted under the 2017 VDI plan, the number of units will be adjusted at the end of each performance period based on achievement of certain performance targets and market conditions, as defined in the VDI award agreement. For awards granted under the 2016 VDI plan, the number of units is adjusted at the end of each performance period based only on the achievement of certain performance targets as defined in the VDI award agreement. Units granted under the 2017 and 2016 VDI plans can only be settled in company stock and are accounted for as equity awards in accordance with ASC 718.

 

(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 months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $17 million and $15 million, respectively. Income taxes associated with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were immaterial in both periods presented. Distributions paid to noncontrolling interests were $12 million and $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Capital contributions by noncontrolling interests were $4 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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.

 

Fluor Australia Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company (“Fluor Australia”), completed cost reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services for Santos Ltd. (“Santos”) on a large network of natural gas gathering and processing facilities in Queensland, Australia. On December 13, 2016, Santos filed an action in Queensland Supreme Court against Fluor Australia, asserting various causes of action and seeking damages of approximately AUD $1.47 billion. The company believes that the claims asserted by Santos are without merit and is vigorously defending these claims. Based upon the present status of this matter, the company does not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, the company has not recorded a charge as a result of this action.

 

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 claims accounting (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. Similarly, the company recognizes disputed back charges to suppliers or subcontractors as a reduction of cost when the same requirements have been satisfied. The company periodically evaluates its positions and the amounts recognized with respect to all its claims and back charges. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the company had recorded $66 million and $61 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 periods. The company had also recorded disputed back charges totaling $41 million as of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The company believes the ultimate recovery of amounts related to these claims and back charges 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 $14 billion as of March 31, 2017. 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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. Accounts receivable related to work performed for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $133 million and $392 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The decrease in this receivable balance in 2017 resulted primarily from one Energy, Chemicals & Mining joint venture project in the United States. Notes receivable from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” and “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $18 million and $19 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 $542 million and $454 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 the current year.

 

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 it has any of the following characteristics: (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 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 $76 million as of March 31, 2017 and a net liability of $9 million as of December 31, 2016. 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 necessary to satisfy the contractual obligations of the VIE. Future funding commitments as of March 31, 2017 for the unconsolidated VIEs were $39 million.

 

In some cases, the company is required to consolidate certain VIEs. As of March 31, 2017, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.0 billion and $581 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $959 million and $566 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, 2016.

The decrease in total assets in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment resulted from decreased 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.

 

Total assets in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment as of March 31, 2017 included accounts receivable and contract work in progress related to two subcontracts with Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (“Westinghouse”) to manage the construction workforce at nuclear power plant projects in Georgia (Plant Vogtle) and South Carolina (V.C. Summer). On March 29, 2017 (“the bankruptcy petition date”), Westinghouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York.

The company has filed mechanic’s liens in Georgia and South Carolina against the property of the owners of the projects for amounts due for pre-petition services rendered to Westinghouse. The company continues to provide services to both project sites at the request of the owners of the projects and expects to be compensated by the owners for certain pre-petition services rendered to Westinghouse, as well as for ongoing post-petition services. As of March 31, 2017, total assets included accounts receivable of $169 million (net of payments received from the owners of the projects during March 2017 of $78 million) and contract work in process of $60 million related to pre-petition services provided to Westinghouse. Further payments for certain pre-petition services are expected to be received under agreements with the owners. Based on the company’s evaluation of available information, which includes liens, agreements with the owners and the relative probability of the projects proceeding in whole or in part, the company expects the amounts due for pre-petition services to be recoverable.

 

(17)           Acquisition of Stork Holding B.V.

 

On March 1, 2016 (“the acquisition date”), 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.

 

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 $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 was available to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility, which bore interest at EURIBOR plus .75%, expired in April 2017.

 

The company completed its valuation of Stork’s assets and liabilities at the end of 2016. The aggregate purchase price noted above was 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 €384 million (or approximately $417 million), was recorded as goodwill.

 

The fair value of acquired intangible assets, which consisted primarily of customer relationships and trade names, as well as below market contracts and leases were determined using income-based approaches that utilized unobservable Level 3 inputs, including significant management assumptions such as forecasted revenue and operating margins, customer attrition, and weighted average cost of capital. Customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 8 years. Acquired trade names with finite lives are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 2 to 15 years. Trade names with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing.

 

The fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined using a cost-based approach that considers the estimated reproductive cost of the assets adjusted for depreciation factors, which include physical deterioration and functional or economic obsolescence. This approach uses Level 3 inputs that are generally unobservable in the marketplace. A market-based approach was also applied as a secondary method to estimate the fair value of certain assets. The market-based approach utilized observable Level 2 inputs for similar assets in active markets.

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 Diversified Services segment.

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, 2016 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; and other non-operating income and expense items.

 

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;

·                            Project cancellations, scope adjustments or deferrals, or foreign currency fluctuations, that could reduce the amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that the company earns;

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

·                            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;

·                            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 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;

·                            Cybersecurity breaches of our systems and information technology;

·                            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;

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

·                            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;

·                            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;

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

·                            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 new or changing legal requirements, as well as past and future environmental, health and safety

regulations including climate change regulations;

·                            The failure to be adequately indemnified for our nuclear services;

·                            Foreign exchange risks;

·                            The inability to hire and retain qualified personnel;

·                            Failure to maintain safe work sites;

·                            The availability of credit and restrictions imposed by credit facilities, both for the company and our clients, suppliers, subcontractors or other partners;

·                            Possible limitations of bonding or letter of credit capacity;

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

·                            The company’s ability to secure appropriate insurance;

·                            Restrictions on possible transactions imposed by our charter documents and Delaware law.

 

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 17, 2017. 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) 398-7070. 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 of $4.8 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased compared to $4.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Revenue growth in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; Government; and Diversified Services segments were partially offset by revenue declines in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment. The revenue growth 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 the current year period due to reduced volume of project execution activities for certain large chemicals projects and reduced volume of project execution activities at the company’s joint venture in Mexico.

 

Net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation were $61 million and $104 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The first quarter of 2017 reflects lower earnings contributions from the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, primarily driven by a shift in the mix of work on several of the company’s larger projects from higher margin engineering activities to lower margin construction activities since the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in earnings was further driven by cost increases and forecast revisions on certain Industrial, Infrastructure & Power projects, primarily for a gas-fired power plant in South Carolina, as well as lower earnings contributions from the Diversified Services segment when compared to the prior period. These declines were partially offset by higher earnings contributions from the Government segment and lower corporate general and administrative expenses (2016 corporate general and administrative expense included transaction and integration costs associated with the Stork acquisition).

Table of Contents

 

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 17.2 percent and 37.1 percent, respectively. The lower effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is primarily due to a worthless stock deduction on an insolvent foreign subsidiary. Both periods benefit from earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not typically the responsibility of the company.

 

Diluted earnings per share of $0.43 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased as compared to $0.74 for the corresponding period of 2016 primarily due to the lower earnings for the current year period.

 

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 company’s margins, in some cases, may be favorably or unfavorably impacted by a change in the mix of work performed or a change in the amount of materials and customer-furnished materials, which are accounted for as pass-through costs. Segment profit margins are generally higher during the earlier stages of the project life cycle as project execution activities are more heavily weighted to higher margin engineering activities rather than lower margin construction activities, particularly when there is a significant amount of materials, including customer-furnished materials, recognized during construction. In the first quarter of 2017, margins were adversely affected by a shift in the mix of work on several of the company’s larger projects from higher margin engineering activities to lower margin construction activities since the first quarter of 2016.

 

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

 

Consolidated new awards were $2.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to new awards of $4.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Energy, Chemicals & Mining; Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; and Government segments were the major contributors to the new award activity in the first quarter of 2017 including the A10 Zuidasdok project in Amsterdam and two refinery projects in Texas. Approximately 55 percent of consolidated new awards for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were for projects located outside of the United States compared to 18 percent for the first quarter of 2016.

 

Consolidated backlog as of March 31, 2017 was $41.6 billion compared to $46.0 billion as of March 31, 2016. The decrease in backlog primarily resulted from an adjustment for a liquefied natural gas project in Canada that was suspended in the third quarter of 2016 and an adjustment made in the first quarter of 2017 to limit the contractual term of the Magnox RSRL Project to a five year term, as well as new award activity being outpaced by work performed in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment. As of March 31, 2017, approximately 48 percent of consolidated backlog related to projects outside of the United States compared to 57 percent as of March 31, 2016. 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 Diversified Services 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 during 2016 and another $78 million is expected to be made in the current year.

 

A description of the company’s reportable segments is provided in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, the company changed the name of the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment to Diversified Services. The company reports its operating results in the following four reportable segments: Energy, Chemicals & Mining; Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; Government; and Diversified Services.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased by 6 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to reduced volume of project execution activities for certain large chemicals projects, including the completion of a large project, and reduced volume of project execution activities at the company’s joint venture in Mexico. This revenue decline was partially offset by an increase in project execution activities for downstream projects across various regions and an upstream project in the early stage of project execution.

 

Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased by 51 percent compared to the corresponding period in 2016. The decrease in segment profit was primarily driven by a shift in the mix of work on several of the company’s larger projects from higher margin engineering activities to lower margin construction activities since the first quarter of 2016 and reduced volume of project execution activities for certain large chemicals projects. Segment profit contributions from the company’s joint venture in Mexico were also adversely affected by volume declines and foreign currency losses attributable to the strengthening Mexican Peso against the U.S. Dollar. Segment profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 3.8 percent compared to 7.4 percent for the corresponding period in 2016. The decrease in segment profit margin was attributable to the same factors that affected the decline in segment profit.

 

New awards for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $817 million compared to $579 million for the corresponding period of 2016. New awards in the current quarter included two refinery projects in Texas. Backlog of $20.3 billion as of March 31, 2017 decreased from $26.8 billion as of March 31, 2016. The reduction in backlog resulted primarily from an adjustment for a liquefied natural gas project in Canada that was suspended in the third quarter of 2016, as well as new award activity being outpaced by work performed. The decline in oil prices since the latter part of 2014 has continued to affect the timing of new awards and pace of execution on certain existing projects. Although mining and metals customers have been deferring their major capital investment decisions for the past several years, the company is beginning to see a renewed interest for projects in the bauxite, copper and gold markets.

 

Total assets in the segment were $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2017 compared to $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2016. The decrease in total assets primarily resulted from a decrease in working capital in support of project execution activities.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by 44 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to increased project execution activities for several power projects, including two nuclear projects for Westinghouse and two gas-fired power plants in the southeastern United States, as well as increased project execution activities for several life sciences and advanced manufacturing projects in the early stages of project execution.

 

Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased significantly compared to the corresponding period in 2016. The decrease in segment profit was driven by cost increases and forecast revisions of approximately $30 million, primarily for a gas-fired power plant in South Carolina. The decline in segment profit was partially offset by lower NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable expenditures and increased project execution activities for life sciences and advanced

manufacturing projects. Segment profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased when compared to the corresponding period in 2016. The decrease in segment profit margin was driven by the same factors that drove the decrease in segment profit.

 

The Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment includes the operations of NuScale, which are primarily research and development activities. NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable expenditures, included in the determination of segment profit, were $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

New awards for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $777 million compared to $1.4 billion for the corresponding period of 2016. New awards in the current quarter included the A10 Zuidasdok infrastructure project in Amsterdam. Backlog increased to $14.6 billion as of March 31, 2017 compared to $10.3 billion as of March 31, 2016 primarily due to new infrastructure and life sciences and advanced manufacturing projects awarded during 2016 and project adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016 for the two Westinghouse nuclear power plant projects.

 

Total backlog in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment as of March 31, 2017 included $6.4 billion related to two subcontracts with Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (“Westinghouse”) for the construction of nuclear power plant projects in Georgia (Plant Vogtle) and South Carolina (V.C. Summer). On March 29, 2017, Westinghouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. The company continues to provide services to both projects sites at the request of the owners of the projects and expects to be compensated by the owners for ongoing work at both projects. Backlog as of March 31, 2017 has not been adjusted to reflect any revisions to project scope or cost as discussions with the owners of the projects are still underway as they continue with their reviews to determine whether they proceed and at what scope.

 

Total assets in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment were $820 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to $750 million as of December 31, 2016. The increase in total assets in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment resulted from increased working capital assets in support of project execution activities. Total assets as of March 31, 2017 included accounts receivable of $169 million and contract work in process of $60 million for services provided to the two Westinghouse nuclear power plant projects prior to the date of the bankruptcy petition. See Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 12 percent compared to the same period in 2016. The revenue growth was primarily due to increases in project execution activities for the Idaho Cleanup Project Core Contract (“Idaho Core Project”) and construction services projects. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue from the Magnox nuclear decommissioning project in the United Kingdom (the “Magnox RSRL Project”).

 

Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 69 percent when compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to increased contributions from project execution activities for the Idaho Core Project and the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant Project (“Portsmouth Project”). Segment profit during 2017 also benefited from the favorable resolution of close-out activities on a completed project. Segment profit margin for the first quarter of 2017 was 3.8 percent compared to 2.5 percent for the same period in the prior year. The increase in segment profit margin was primarily due to the favorable resolution of close-out activities on a completed project and increased contributions from the Portsmouth Project.

 

New awards for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $173 million compared to $2.3 billion for the same period in the prior year. New awards during the three months ended March 31, 2017 included a multi-year contract in the services business and additional contract funding for the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant Project. Backlog as of March 31, 2017 decreased to $3.7 billion compared to $5.2 billion as of March 31, 2016 primarily due to a customer decision to limit the contractual term of

the Magnox RSRL Project to a five year term ending in August 2019. Total backlog included $1.5 billion and $2.9 billion of unfunded government contracts as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Total assets in the Government segment were $500 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to $494 million as of December 31, 2016.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by 23 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Revenue in 2016 included one month of revenue associated with the acquisition of the Stork business, which closed on March 1, 2016. The increase in revenue from Stork was partially offset by a lower level of project execution activities in both the continuous site presence and power services businesses.

 

Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 declined by 25 percent compared to the corresponding period in 2016. Segment profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 4.0 percent compared to 6.5 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Segment profit and segment profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 declined compared to the corresponding period in 2016, primarily due to the inclusion of the Stork business.  Since the acquisition of Stork in March 2016, segment profit and segment profit margins are more reflective of the seasonal nature of the Stork business, with lower results typically being delivered in the first quarter of the year. The reductions in segment profit and segment profit margin were partially offset by increased contributions from the equipment business.

 

New awards in the Diversified Services segment for the first three months of 2017 were $546 million compared to $404 million for the first quarter of 2016. Backlog of $2.9 billion as of March 31, 2017 decreased from $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2016. The reduction in backlog resulted from new award activity being outpaced by work performed since the first quarter of 2016, as volatility in oil prices continues to affect the timing of new awards.

 

Total assets in the Diversified Services segment were $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Other

 

Corporate general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $45 million compared to $55 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to transaction costs and integration activities associated with the Stork acquisition incurred in 2016. Net interest expense was $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $11 million during the corresponding period of 2016. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is discussed above under “— Summary.”

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, 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,

 

30



Table of Contents

 

along with its unused credit capacity 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 March 31, 2017, the company was in compliance with all the financial covenants related to its debt agreements.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2017 compared to $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents combined with current and noncurrent marketable securities were $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 $1.0 billion as of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 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 $519 million and $440 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 $753 million and $764 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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 three months ended March 31, 2017, working capital decreased primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable and contract work in progress partially offset by an increase in the net working capital of a project joint venture in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment and an increase in prepaid income taxes. Specific factors related to these drivers include:

 

·                  A decrease in accounts receivable, primarily related to collections from an Energy, Chemicals & Mining joint venture project in the United States partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment primarily attributable to work performed for a nuclear power plant project.

 

·                  A decrease in contract work in progress in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, which resulted primarily from normal project execution activities.

 

·                  An increase in the net working capital of a project joint venture in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment.

 

31



Table of Contents

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, working capital increased primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and contract work in progress partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. The factors that contributed to these increases include:

 

·                  The increases in accounts receivable, contract work in progress and accounts payable due to the Stork acquisition.

 

·                  An increase in accounts receivable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, which resulted primarily from normal billing activities for various projects and was not indicative of any significant collection or liquidity issues.

 

·                  An increase in contract work in progress in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment.

 

·                  An increase in accounts payable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, which resulted primarily from normal invoicing and payment activities.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $270 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $115 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from favorable changes in working capital partially offset by a lower level of net earnings in the current year.

 

The company contributed $9 million into its defined benefit pension plans during both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The company currently expects to contribute up to $15 million during 2017, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash utilized by investing activities amounted to $96 million and $560 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities exceeded purchases of such securities by $41 million and $99 million, respectively The company held combined current and noncurrent marketable securities of $213 million and $255 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Capital expenditures of $67 million and $49 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily related to construction equipment associated with equipment operations in the Diversified Services segment, as well as expenditures for facilities and investments in information technology. Proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment of $15 million and $26 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily related to the disposal of construction equipment associated with the equipment operations in the Diversified Services segment.

 

During 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.

 

Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures were $86 million and $402 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Investments during the three months ended March 31, 2017 included a capital contribution to an Energy, Chemicals & Mining joint venture in the United States. Investments during the three months ended March 31, 2016 included 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 the current year.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash utilized by financing activities of $77 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and cash provided by financing activities of $171 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 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 three months ended March 31, 2016 included the repurchase and cancellation of 202,650 shares of the company’s common stock for approximately $10 million 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 2016 were paid in the first quarter of 2017. Quarterly cash dividends of $0.21 per share were declared in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016. 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 $551 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.

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 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. We may, from time to time, repurchase the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes or the 2011 Notes in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

 

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 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 was available to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility, which bore interest at EURIBOR plus .75%, expired in April 2017. There were no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of March 31, 2017.

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 $12 million and $13 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Distributions in 2017 and 2016 primarily related to one transportation joint venture 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 three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, most major foreign currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation gains of $49 million and $36 million, respectively, of which $21 million and $22 million, respectively, 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 March 31, 2017, the company had a combination of committed and uncommitted lines of credit that may be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. As of March 31, 2017, letters of credit and borrowings totaling $1.8 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 2022. 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 was used for revolving loans, bank guarantees, letters of credit and to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility, which bore interest at EURIBOR plus .75%, expired in April 2017 and was included in committed lines of credit as of March 31, 2017. There were no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of March 31, 2017.

 

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 $14 billion as of March 31, 2017. 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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.
