(NYSE: KBR) today announced its second quarter fiscal 2026 results. “We delivered a strong first half while continuing to position both businesses for long-term success as we advance toward separation,” said Stuart Bradie, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Demand remains healthy across our core markets, supported by strong customer relationships, disciplined execution and growing visibility into future performance. In STS, we delivered another strong quarter of bookings, driving record backlog levels and reinforcing the durability of demand across our portfolio. In MTS, customer demand remains strong, and awarded work under protest continues to provide visibility beyond reported backlog. As we prepare for separation, we are taking actions to simplify our cost structure, improve efficiency and position both companies to compete more effectively as focused, standalone businesses. We remain confident in the opportunities ahead and our ability to create long-term value for shareholders.” 1 As used throughout this release, book-to-bill and bookings and options exclude long-term UK PFIs. In the prior quarter, these metrics also excluded the Plaquemines LNG project. 2 As used throughout this earnings release, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted earnings per share, Adjusted operating cash flow, and Adjusted operating cash conversion are non-GAAP financial measures. All non-GAAP financial measures reflect results from continuing operations.

Revenues were $2.0 billion, up 2% or $32 million. Growth was driven by the continued ramp-up of recently awarded projects within Sustainable Technology Solutions, as well as growth in Mission Technology Solutions across International Government Clients. Within U.S. Government Defense and Intelligence Clients, reported revenues declined year over year due to the expected runoff of EUCOM contingency-related activity; excluding EUCOM runoff, revenues increased year over year. Operating income was $172 million, down 11% or $22 million, as higher gross profit was more than offset by one-time spin-off costs and other charges associated with the planned separation. Net income attributable to KBR was $96 million, up 32% or $23 million, reflecting higher gross profit, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower interest expense and the absence of prior-year losses from discontinued operations associated with the HomeSafe contract termination, partially offset by one-time spin-off costs and other charges related to the planned separation. Diluted earnings per share attributable to KBR were $0.75, up 34% or $0.19, in line with increased net income attributable to KBR noted above and lower diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to open market share repurchases. Adjusted EBITDA 2 was $258 million, up 7% or $16 million, reflecting strong project execution, including unconsolidated JVs, favorable portfolio mix and continued cost discipline across the enterprise. Adjusted EBITDA 2 margin was 13.0%. Adjusted earnings per share 2 were $0.99, up 9% or $0.08, due to the increase in adjusted EBITDA 2 noted above, lower below-the-line expenses and lower adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding due to open market share repurchases. Backlog and options as of the quarter end totaled $23.0 billion. Book-to-bill 1 was 1.1x for the quarter.

Mission Technology Solutions (MTS) Revenues were $1.3 billion, down 2% or $28 million. Continued expansion within International Government Clients, particularly in Australia and the United Kingdom, was more than offset by lower EUCOM contingency-related activity and reduced activity within U.S. Government Federal Civilian Clients. Within U.S. Government Defense and Intelligence Clients, reported revenues declined year over year due to the expected runoff of EUCOM contingency-related activity; excluding EUCOM runoff, revenues increased year over year. Operating income was $116 million, up 7% or $8 million, driven by favorable portfolio mix, partially offset by one-time spin-off costs and other charges associated with the planned separation. Operating income margin was 8.9%. Adjusted EBITDA 2 was $158 million, up 16% or $22 million, reflecting favorable portfolio mix, disciplined cost management and benefits from contract closeouts. Adjusted EBITDA 2 margin was 12.1%. Backlog and options as of the quarter end totaled $17.5 billion. Book-to-bill 1 was 0.8x for the quarter. Reported backlog and book-to-bill do not reflect approximately $10.6 billion of awarded work currently under protest, including the National Science Foundation Antarctica contract, which we expect will provide additional backlog visibility as the protests conclude. The following new business awards were announced: Awarded the $8 billion ceiling Antarctic Science and Engineering Support Contract (ASESC) , a single-award IDIQ contract for the U.S. National Science Foundation, to support U.S. Antarctic Program stations and research camps over a 20-year period of performance. This award is not yet recorded in backlog or book-to-bill. Awarded a $95 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to provide Digital Engineering and Enterprise Decision Support capabilities for the U.S. Space Force at Kirtland Air Force Base over a five-year period of performance. Awarded a position on the $866 million ceiling Advisory Support and Technical Requirement Administration (ASTRA) multiple-award IDIQ contract to provide advisory and technical services for the U.S. Air Force, Department of War and intelligence community over five years. Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) Revenues were $676 million, up 10% or $60 million, driven by continued execution of previously awarded work and ramp-up of newer project awards, particularly in the Middle East and Latin America, with additional growth in Australia and Asia, partially offset by U.S. projects nearing completion. Operating income was $103 million, down 18% or $22 million, reflecting the timing and mix of work executed during the quarter, including a higher contribution from equipment procurement activity, while underlying project execution and demand trends remained strong. Operating income margin was 15.2%. Adjusted EBITDA 2 was $123 million, down 8% or $11 million. The smaller decline relative to operating income primarily reflects higher unconsolidated joint venture adjusted EBITDA contributions during the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA 2 margin was 18.2%. Backlog as of the quarter end reached a record $5.5 billion. Book-to-bill 1 was 1.5x for the quarter. The following new business awards were announced: KBR’s Purifier ® ammonia technology selected for Pampa Energía’s new ammonia-urea complex in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, which is expected to be the largest single-train ammonia plant in Latin America. KBR’s PureSAF ® technology selected by NorSAF for a planned 100,000 ton/year SAF and e-SAF facility in Latvia, expected to be the largest sustainable aviation fuel production plant in Northern Europe. Selected to provide technology licensing and front-end engineering design services using KBR’s PureSAF ® technology for Keppel and Aster’s proposed sustainable aviation fuel plant on Singapore’s Jurong Island. Selected by Power2X to provide project management consultancy services for its Rotterdam eFuels project, one of Europe's largest sustainable aviation fuel initiatives, expected to produce more than 250,000 tons of e-SAF annually. Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Capital Deployment Liquidity as of July 3, 2026, totaled approximately $0.9 billion, comprising $625 million in borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and $312 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net leverage ratio as of July 3, 2026, was 2.3x. Operating cash flows from continuing operations for the quarter were $50 million, down 77% or $167 million. Adjusted operating cash flows 2 for the quarter were $64 million, down 71% or $153 million. During the second quarter, KBR returned $46 million in capital to shareholders, consisting of $25 million in share repurchases and $21 million in regular dividends. Reaffirming Fiscal 2026 Guidance KBR reaffirms the following full‑year fiscal 2026 outlook for the consolidated company and plans to update standalone outlooks in connection with the planned spin transaction.   Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance Revenues $7.90B - $8.36B Adjusted EBITDA $980M - $1,040M Adjusted EPS $3.87 - $4.22 Adjusted operating cash flows $560M - $600M     The company does not provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted operating cash flows to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, and acquisition-related expenses without unreasonable effort, which could be material to the company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP. Planned Spin-Off of Mission Technology Solutions On September 24, 2025, KBR announced its intention to spin-off its Mission Technology Solutions segment into a separate, U.S. publicly traded company. We continue to believe that the formation of two independent companies with distinct business profiles will better position both companies to deliver long-term profitable growth and value for customers, employees, and shareholders. Upon completion, KBR and its shareholders are expected to benefit from ownership in two pure‑play public companies with enhanced strategic and management focus, prioritized commercial resources, operational independence, and financial flexibility to support strategic imperatives. KBR continues to advance key separation workstreams, including leadership, governance, operating model and branding activities for the future Mission Technology Solutions company. On June 25, 2026, KBR announced the appointments of Michael LaRouche as President and Chief Executive Officer-designate and Nicholas Veasey as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer-designate of the planned spin-off entity. On July 30, 2026, KBR unveiled Trinzic as the future standalone company, introducing its new corporate brand and identity as it prepares to become an independent public company. The planned spin‑off is intended to be tax‑free to KBR and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is targeting completion on January 4, 2027, which is the first business day of fiscal 2027, subject to final approval by KBR’s Board of Directors and other customary conditions.

The company has provided the non-GAAP financial information presented in the press release as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in the press release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the press release may differ from similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA We evaluate performance based on Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to KBR, plus Net (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; less Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest included in discontinued operations; less Interest expense; Other non-operating expense (income); Provision for income taxes; Depreciation and amortization (D&A); and certain discrete items as identified by Management to be non-recurring in nature as set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA can also be defined as Operating income less Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests from continuing operations; plus D&A; and certain discrete items as identified by Management to be non-recurring in nature as set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for each of the three- and six-month periods ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025 are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in the calculation of Net income (loss) attributable to KBR in accordance with GAAP for such periods. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core performance for each of the three- and six-month periods ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core performance for the comparable periods.   Three months ended   Six months ended   July 3,   July 4,   July 3,   July 4, Dollars in millions   2026       2025     2026     2025                                   Net income attributable to KBR $ 96     $ 73     $ 198   $ 189   Net (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax   (2 )     48       —     54   Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest included in discontinued operations   1       (16 )     —     (18 ) Net income attributable to KBR from continuing operations $ 95     $ 105     $ 198   $ 225   •  Interest expense   35       41       72     82   •  Other non-operating expense   2       8       2     5   •  Provision for income taxes   38       39       78     82   •  Depreciation and amortization   42       45       83     86   •  Spin-off, acquisition and restructuring   33       4       49     10   •  Share of JV interest, tax, D&A and acquisition costs (1)   13       —       27     —   Adjusted EBITDA $ 258     $ 242     $ 509   $ 490     Three months ended   Six months ended   July 3,   July 4,   July 3,   July 4, Dollars in millions   2026       2025       2026       2025                   Operating income - MTS $ 116     $ 108     $ 227     $ 221   •  Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests included in continuing operations   —       1       —       1   •  Depreciation and amortization   24       27       49       53   •  Spin-off, acquisition and restructuring   15       —       16       —   •  Share of JV interest, tax, D&A and acquisition costs (1)   3       —       4       —   Adjusted EBITDA - MTS $ 158     $ 136     $ 296     $ 275                   Operating income - STS $ 103     $ 125     $ 216     $ 252   •  Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests included in continuing operations   (2 )     (2 )     (2 )     (3 ) •  Depreciation and amortization   11       11       21       20   •  Spin-off, acquisition and restructuring   1       —       2       —   •  Share of JV interest, tax, D&A and acquisition costs (1)   10       —       23       —   Adjusted EBITDA - STS $ 123     $ 134     $ 260     $ 269                   Operating loss - Corporate $ (47 )   $ (39 )   $ (91 )   $ (77 ) •  Depreciation and amortization   7       7       13       13   •  Spin-off, acquisition and restructuring   17       4       31       10   Adjusted EBITDA - Corporate $ (23 )   $ (28 )   $ (47 )   $ (54 )                 Operating income - KBR $ 172     $ 194     $ 352     $ 396   •  Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests included in continuing operations   (2 )     (1 )     (2 )     (2 ) •  Depreciation and amortization   42       45       83       86   •  Spin-off, acquisition and restructuring   33       4       49       10   •  Share of JV interest, tax, D&A and acquisition costs (1)   13       —       27       —   Adjusted EBITDA - KBR $ 258     $ 242     $ 509     $ 490                                   (1) Beginning with the three months ended April 3, 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was revised to include add-backs associated with KBR's share of unconsolidated JV interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and acquisition costs on a prospective basis. Management concluded that retrospective application would not provide additional meaningful information to investors and therefore did not recast historical non‑GAAP results. The estimated impact to fiscal 2025 margins was approximately 20 basis points. Adjusted EPS  Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) for each of the three- and six-month periods ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025 is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules because Adjusted EPS excludes certain amounts included in the Diluted EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP for such periods. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is Diluted EPS for the same periods. Management believes that Adjusted EPS affords investors a view of what management considers KBR's core earnings performance for each of the three- and six-month periods ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance for the comparable periods.   Three months ended   Six months ended   July 3,   July 4,   July 3,   July 4,   2026     2025     2026     2025                   Diluted EPS attributable to KBR $ 0.75   $ 0.56     $ 1.55   $ 1.44   Less: Diluted earnings (loss) per share from discontinued operations   0.01     (0.25 )     —     (0.27 ) Diluted EPS from continuing operations $ 0.74   $ 0.81     $ 1.55   $ 1.71   •  Amortization related to acquisitions   0.06     0.07       0.12     0.14   •  Spin-off, acquisition and restructuring   0.19     0.03       0.28     0.06   Adjusted EPS $ 0.99   $ 0.91     $ 1.95   $ 1.91   Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding   127     129       127     131   Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding   127     129       127     131                               Adjusted Operating Cash Flows and Adjusted Operating Cash Conversion Adjusted operating cash flows and Adjusted operating cash conversion are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Adjusted operating cash flows exclude certain amounts included in the cash flows provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating cash conversion is calculated as Adjusted operating cash flows divided by Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding, which is then divided by Adjusted earnings per share. Management believes that Adjusted operating cash flows and adjusted operating cash conversion afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core operating cash flow performance for each of the three- and six-month periods ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025 and also afford investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core operating cash generation performance.   Three months ended   Six months ended   July 3,   July 4,   July 3,   July 4, Dollars in millions, except per share amounts   2026       2025       2026       2025                   Operating cash flows from continuing operations $ 50     $ 217     $ 160     $ 308   Adjust: Spin-off transaction costs   14       —       23       —   Adjusted operating cash flows $ 64     $ 217     $ 183     $ 308                   Adjusted operating cash flow per adjusted share   0.50       1.68       1.44       2.35   Adjusted earnings per share   0.99       0.91       1.95       1.91                   Adjusted operating cash conversion   51 %     185 %     74 %     123 %
