FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

(1)                   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, 2011 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, 2012 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, 2012 and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain amounts in 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation. Management has evaluated all material events occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements up to the date and time this quarterly report is filed on Form 10-Q.

 

(2)                    New accounting pronouncements implemented by the company in the first quarter or requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below or in the notes, where applicable.

 

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)     2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires an entity to disclose the nature of its rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The objective of ASU 2011-11 is to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new disclosures will give financial statement users information about both gross and net exposures. ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2013 and will be applied on a retrospective basis.

 

In the first quarter of 2012, the company adopted FASB ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 allows entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit (i.e., the first step of the goodwill impairment test). If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not greater than the carrying amount, a quantitative calculation would not be needed. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

(3)                   In the first quarter of 2012, the company adopted FASB ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which amends certain guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. ASU 2011-05 requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2011-05, the company’s financial statements now include a Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

The company also adopted FASB ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05” in the first quarter of 2012. ASU 2011-12 indefinitely deferred the provisions of ASU 2011-05 that required entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. This requirement will be further deliberated by the FASB at a future date.

(4)                   The effective tax rate, based on the company’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, was 26.4 percent and 33.1 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower for the three month period ending March 31, 2012 due to the recognition of a deferred tax benefit of $16 million primarily attributable to foreign taxes previously paid on certain unremitted foreign earnings in South Africa.

 

The company conducts business globally and, as a result, the company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Although the company believes its reserves for its tax positions are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits could be materially different, both favorably and unfavorably. With few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2003.

 

(5)                   Cash paid for interest was $10.2 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Income tax payments, net of receipts, were $78.8 million and $25.7 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, the company repurchased and cancelled 450,000 and 3,500,000 shares of its common stock, respectively, under its stock repurchase program for $27 million and $246 million, respectively.

 

(7)                   In the first quarter of 2012, the company adopted ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS,” which amended and expanded the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

 

The fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 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

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

 

(2) Consists of registered money market funds valued at fair value. These investments represent the net asset value of the shares of such funds as of the close of business at the end of the period.

 

(3) Consists of investments in U.S. agency securities, corporate debt securities and other debt securities which are valued at the last reported sale price on the last business day at the end of the period. Securities not traded on the last business day are valued at the last reported bid price.

 

(4) Consists of registered money market funds and an equity index fund valued at fair value. These investments, which are trading securities, represent the net asset value of the shares of such funds as of the close of business at the end of the period.

 

(5) Consists of investments in U.S. agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate debt securities and other debt securities with maturities ranging from one to four years which are valued at the last reported sale price on the last business day at the end of the period. Securities not traded on the last business day are valued at the last reported bid price.

 

(6) See Note 8 for the classification of commodity swap forward contracts and foreign currency contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Commodity swap forward contracts and foreign currency contracts are estimated using standard pricing models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows.

 

All of the company’s financial instruments carried at fair value are included in the table above. All of the above financial instruments are available-for-sale securities except for those held in the deferred compensation trusts, which are trading securities, and derivative assets and liabilities. The company has determined that there was no other-than-temporary impairment of available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses, and the company expects to recover the entire cost basis of the securities. The available-for-sale securities are made up of the following security types as of March 31, 2012: money market funds of $2 million, U.S. agency securities of $237 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $45 million, corporate debt securities of $214 million and other securities of $5 million. As of December 31, 2011, available-for-sale securities consisted of money market funds of $24 million, U.S. agency securities of $237 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $99 million, corporate debt securities of $235 million, and other securities of $5 million. The amortized cost of these available-for-sale securities is not materially different than the fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, proceeds from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $178 million and $149 million, respectively.

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

 

(5) The fair value of the 3.375% Senior Notes, 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 5.625% Municipal Bonds are estimated based on quoted market prices for similar issues.

 

(8)                   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 intercompany transactions, and risk associated with interest rate volatility may subject the company to earnings volatility. In cases where financial exposure is identified, the company generally mitigates the risk by utilizing derivative instruments. The company’s derivative instruments are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” 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 derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items. The fair values of all derivative 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 derivative 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 derivative instruments’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and are reclassified into earnings when the hedged items settle. Any ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is recognized in earnings immediately. The company does not enter into derivative instruments or hedging activities for speculative purposes.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the company had total gross notional amounts of $714 million of foreign exchange forward contracts and $11 million of commodity swap forward contracts outstanding relating to engineering and construction contract obligations and intercompany transactions. The foreign exchange forward contracts are of varying duration, none of which extend beyond

The company currently expects to fund approximately $30 million to $60 million into its defined benefit pension plans during 2012, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, contributions of approximately $3 million were made by the company.

 

The preceding information does not include amounts related to benefit plans applicable to employees associated with certain contracts with the U.S. Department of Energy because the company is not responsible for the current or future funded status of these plans.

 

In the first quarter of 2012, the company adopted FASB ASU 2011-09, “Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan,” which amends ASC 715-80 by increasing the quantitative and qualitative disclosures an employer is required to provide about its participation in significant multiemployer plans that offer pension or other postretirement benefits. The objective of ASU 2011-09 is to enhance the transparency of disclosures about the significant multiemployer plans in which an employer participates, the level of the employer’s participation in those plans, the financial health of the plans, and the nature of the employer’s commitments to the plans. The company was not required to make additional disclosures as a result of the adoption of ASU 2011-09.

 

(10)             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 and debt issuance costs. Interest on the 2011 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning 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. Additionally, if a change of control triggering event occurs, as defined by the terms of the indenture, the company will be required to offer to purchase the 2011 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. The company is generally not limited under the indenture governing the 2011 Notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness provided the company is in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions.

 

In February 2004, the company issued $330 million of 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2004 Notes”) due February 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $323 million, net of underwriting discounts. In December 2004, the company irrevocably elected to pay the principal amount of the 2004 Notes in cash. The 2004 Notes are convertible if a specified trading price of the company’s common stock (the “trigger price”) is achieved and maintained for a specified period. The trigger price condition was satisfied during the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012 and the 2004 Notes were therefore classified as short-term debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, holders converted $0.3 million of the 2004 Notes in exchange for the principal balance owed in cash plus 6,040 shares of the company’s common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, holders converted $32 million of the 2004 Notes in exchange for the principal balance owed in cash plus 692,435 shares of the company’s common stock.

 

The following table presents information related to the liability and equity components of the 2004 Notes:

The 2004 Notes are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock (par value $0.01 per share) at a conversion rate of 36.2815 shares per each $1,000 principal amount of the 2004 Notes. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 includes original coupon interest of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The if-converted value of $42 million was in excess of the principal value as of March 31, 2012.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants related to its debt agreements.

 

(11)             The company’s executive and director stock-based plans are described, and informational disclosures provided, in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Restricted stock units of 366,033 and 282,312 were granted to executives in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, at weighted-average per

share prices of $62.50 and $70.76, respectively. For the company’s executives, the restricted units and shares granted in 2012 and 2011 vest ratably over three years. For the company’s directors, other than the initial grant that the directors received upon joining the Board of Directors which vests ratably over a five year period, the restricted units and shares granted in 2012 and 2011 vest or vested on the first anniversary of the grant. During the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, options for the purchase of 641,817 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $62.50 per share and 548,391 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $70.76 per share, respectively, were awarded to executives. The options granted in 2012 and 2011 vest ratably over three years. The options expire ten years after the grant date.

 

(12)             The company applies the provisions of ASC 810-10-45, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” ASC 810-10-45 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, 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, 2012 and 2011, earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $22.6 million and $21.7 million, respectively, and the related tax effect was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Distributions paid to noncontrolling interests were $19.8 million and $27.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Capital contributions by noncontrolling interests were $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

(13)             The company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various litigation matters. Additionally, the company and certain of its subsidiaries are contingently liable for commitments and performance guarantees arising in the ordinary course of business. The company and certain of its clients have made claims arising from the performance under its contracts. The company recognizes revenue, but not profit, for certain significant claims when it is determined that recovery of incurred costs is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Under ASC 605-35-25, these requirements are satisfied when the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the company’s performance, claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. Recognized claims against clients amounted to $309 million and $298 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and are primarily included in contract work in progress in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The company periodically evaluates its position and the amounts recognized in revenue with respect to all its claims. Amounts ultimately realized from claims could differ materially from the balances included in the financial statements. The company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

As of March 31, 2012, several matters were in the litigation and dispute resolution process. The following discussion provides a background and current status of these matters:

 

Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm Project

 

The company is involved in a dispute in connection with the Greater Gabbard Project, a $1.8 billion lump-sum project to provide engineering, procurement and construction services for the client’s offshore wind farm project in the United Kingdom. The dispute relates to the company’s claim for additional compensation for schedule and cost impacts arising from delays in the fabrication of monopiles and transition pieces, along with certain disruption and productivity issues associated with construction activities and weather-related delays. The company believes these schedule and cost impacts are attributable to the client and other third parties.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the company had recorded $289 million of claim revenue related to this issue for costs incurred to date. The company believes the ultimate recovery of incurred costs related to the claim is probable under ASC 605-35-25. The company will continue to periodically evaluate its position and the amount recognized in revenue with respect to this claim. The project is expected to be substantially complete by mid-2012. However, the resolution of the claim is expected to extend beyond the completion date of the project. As of March 31, 2012, the client had withheld the contractual maximum for liquidated damages related to the dispute of approximately $150 million. The company will seek to recover in arbitration all damages

resulting from the client’s breaches of the contract for the project, including the claim amount and a significant portion of the liquidated damages. The client also recently filed a counterclaim against the company seeking to recover costs associated with alleged defects. To the extent the client’s counterclaim is successful or the company is not successful in recovering its damages, there could be a substantial charge to earnings.

 

St. Joe Minerals Matters

 

Since 1995, the company has been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits alleging injuries resulting from the lead business of St. Joe Minerals Corporation (“St. Joe”) and The Doe Run Company (“Doe Run”) in Herculaneum, Missouri. The company was named as a defendant in these lawsuits as a result of its ownership or other interests in St. Joe and Doe Run in the period between 1981 and 1994. In 1994, the company sold its interests in St. Joe and Doe Run, along with all liabilities associated with the lead business, pursuant to a sale agreement in which the buyer agreed to indemnify the company for those liabilities. Until December 2010, substantially all the lawsuits were settled and paid by the buyer; and in all cases the company was fully released.

 

In December 2010, the buyer settled with certain plaintiffs without obtaining a release for the benefit of the company, leaving the company to defend its case with these plaintiffs in the City of St. Louis Circuit Court. In late July 2011, the jury reached an unexpected verdict in this case, ruling in favor of 16 of the plaintiffs and against the company and certain former subsidiaries for $38.5 million in compensatory and economic damages and $320 million in punitive damages. In August 2011, the court entered judgments based on the verdict.

 

In December 2011, the company appealed the judgments of the court. The company strongly believes that the judgments are not supported by the facts or the law and that it is probable that such judgments will be overturned. Therefore, 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 the judgments. The company has also taken steps to enforce its rights to the indemnification described above.

 

The company, the buyer and other entities are defendants in 22 additional lawsuits relating to the lead business of St. Joe and Doe Run. The company believes it has strong defenses to these lawsuits and is vigorously defending its position. In addition, the company has filed claims for indemnification under the sale agreement for other matters raised in these lawsuits. While we believe we will be ultimately successful in these various matters, if we were unsuccessful in our appeal of the ruling referenced above or in any of the other lawsuits, or in the prosecution of and collection on our indemnity claims, we would have to recognize a substantial charge to our earnings.

 

Embassy Projects

 

The company constructed 11 embassy projects for the U.S. Department of State under fixed-price contracts. Some of these projects were adversely impacted by higher costs due to schedule extensions, scope changes causing material deviations from the Standard Embassy Design, increased costs to meet client requirements for additional security-cleared labor, site conditions at certain locations, subcontractor and teaming partner difficulties and the availability and productivity of construction labor. All embassy projects were completed prior to 2011.

 

The company had previously recognized claim revenue of $33 million for outstanding claims on two embassy projects. During the first quarter of 2012, the company received an adverse judgment from the Board of Contract Appeals associated with a claim on one embassy project and, as a result, recorded a charge of $13 million. The company believes that the decision was incorrect and is considering appeal to the Federal Circuit. Total claims-related costs incurred to date for the last remaining claim, along with requests for equitable adjustment, exceed the amount recorded in claim revenue. All claims have been certified in accordance with federal contracting requirements. A hearing on the final embassy claim is scheduled to take place during the third quarter of 2012.

 

Conex International v. Fluor Enterprises, Inc.

 

In November 2006, a Jefferson County, Texas, jury reached an unexpected verdict in the case of Conex International (“Conex”) v. Fluor Enterprises Inc. (“FEI”), ruling in favor of Conex and awarding $99 million in damages related to a 2001 construction project.

In 2001, Atofina (now part of Total Petrochemicals Inc.) hired Conex International to be the mechanical contractor on a project at Atofina’s refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. FEI was also hired to provide certain engineering advice to Atofina on the project. There was no contract between Conex and FEI. Later in 2001 after the project was complete, Conex and Atofina negotiated a final settlement for extra work on the project. Conex sued FEI in September 2003, alleging damages for interference and misrepresentation and demanding that FEI should pay Conex the balance of the extra work charges that Atofina did not pay in the settlement. Conex also asserted that FEI interfered with Conex’s contract and business relationship with Atofina. The jury verdict awarded damages for the extra work and the alleged interference.

 

The company appealed the decision and the judgment against the company was reversed in its entirety in December 2008. Both parties appealed the decision to the Texas Supreme Court, and the Court denied both petitions. The company requested rehearing on two issues to the Texas Supreme Court, and that request was denied. The Texas Supreme Court remanded the matter back to the trial court for a new trial. The matter has been stayed, pending resolution of certain technical issues associated with the 2011 bankruptcy filing by the plaintiff’s parent. Based upon the present status of this matter, the company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a loss will be incurred.

 

(14)             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 facilities being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential payment amount of an outstanding performance guarantee is the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts. 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. Performance guarantees outstanding as of March 31, 2012 were estimated to be $6.9 billion. The company assessed its performance guarantee obligation as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 in accordance with ASC 460, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” and the carrying value of the liability was not material.

 

Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business on behalf of clients and others 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. Most arrangements require the borrower to pledge collateral in the form of property, plant and equipment which is deemed adequate to recover amounts the company might be required to pay.

 

(15)             In the normal course of business, the company forms partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. These partnerships or joint ventures are typically 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. Such funding is infrequent and is not anticipated to be material. The company accounts for its partnerships and joint ventures in accordance with ASC 810.

 

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

 

15

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

UNAUDITED

 

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 (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) 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.

 

In most cases, when the company is not the primary beneficiary and not required to consolidate the VIE, the proportionate consolidation method of accounting is used for joint ventures and partnerships in the construction industry, whereby the company recognizes its proportionate share of revenue, cost and segment profit in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and uses the one-line equity method of accounting in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as allowed under ASC 810-10-45-14. The equity and cost methods of accounting for the investments are also used, depending on the company’s respective ownership interest, amount of influence over the VIE and the nature of services provided by the VIE. The aggregate investment carrying value of the unconsolidated VIEs was $62 million and $50 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and was classified under “Investments and goodwill” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Some of the company’s VIEs have debt; however, such debt is typically non-recourse in nature. The company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding commitments. Future funding commitments as of March 31, 2012 for the unconsolidated VIEs were $35 million.

 

In some cases, the company is required to consolidate certain VIEs. As of March 31, 2012, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.1 billion and $771 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.1 billion and $774 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.

 

None of the VIEs are individually material to the company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows except for the Fluor SKM joint venture, a consolidated joint venture formed for the execution of an iron ore joint venture project in Western Australia. As of March 31, 2012, the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the Fluor SKM joint venture, were $149 million and $173 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the Fluor SKM joint venture were $92 million and $112 million, respectively. The company’s results of operations included revenue related to the Fluor SKM joint venture of $585 million and $424 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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, 2011 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 and organizational changes 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:

 

·                  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;

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

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

·                  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;

·                  Client delays or defaults in making payments;

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

·                  A failure to obtain favorable results in existing or future litigation or dispute resolution proceedings;

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

·                  Failure of our suppliers, subcontractors or joint venture partners 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, including our government contracts that may be terminated at any time and the related impacts on staffing levels and cost;

·                  Liabilities arising from faulty engineering services;

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

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

·                  The risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions or other investments;

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

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

·                  Failure to maintain safe work sites;

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

·                  Possible limitations of bonding or letter of credit capacity;

·                  The company’s ability to secure appropriate insurance;

·                  Limitations on cash transfers from subsidiaries that may restrict the company’s ability to satisfy financial obligations or to pay interest or principal when due on outstanding debt; and

·                  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 22, 2012. These filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, on the company’s website at http://investor.fluor.com or upon request from the company’s Investor Relations Department at (469) 398-7220. The company cannot control such risk factors and other uncertainties, and in many cases, cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties should be considered when evaluating the company and deciding whether to invest in its securities. Except as otherwise required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased 24 percent to $6.3 billion from $5.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011, principally due to substantial growth in the mining and metals business line of the Industrial & Infrastructure segment, as well as revenue growth in the Oil & Gas, Government and Global Services segments.

 

Net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation were $155 million or $0.91 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation of $140 million or $0.78 per diluted share for the corresponding period of 2011. This increase in net earnings was primarily due to improved performance on Industrial & Infrastructure projects in the mining and metals business line and higher earnings in the Global Services and Oil & Gas segments. The Power segment and the infrastructure business line of the Industrial & Infrastructure segment contributed lower earnings for the current quarter.

 

The uncertain economic conditions in Europe and other markets have resulted in a highly competitive business environment that has continued to put increased pressure on margins. This trend is expected to continue and, in certain cases, may result in more lump-sum project execution for the company. In some instances, margins are being negatively impacted by the change in the mix of work performed (e.g., a higher mix of construction-related work and a higher content of customer-furnished materials, which typically generate lower margins than engineering work or projects without customer-furnished materials).

 

The effective tax rate, based on the company’s actual operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, was 26.4 percent and 33.1 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower for the three month period ending March 31, 2012 due to the recognition of a deferred tax benefit of $16 million primarily attributable to foreign taxes previously paid on certain unremitted foreign earnings in South Africa.

 

Consolidated new awards were $8.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to new awards of $6.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Oil & Gas segment and the mining and metals business line in the Industrial & Infrastructure segment were the major contributors to the new award activity in the first quarter of 2012. Approximately 82 percent of consolidated new awards for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were for projects located outside of the United States.

 

Consolidated backlog as of March 31, 2012 was $42.5 billion compared to $37.2 billion as of March 31, 2011. The increase in backlog was due to the strength of the new award activity noted above in the Oil & Gas and Industrial & Infrastructure segments. As of March 31, 2012, approximately 79 percent of consolidated backlog related to international projects. 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.

Revenue and segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by 23 percent and 19 percent, respectively, compared to the corresponding period in 2011 as a result of higher project execution activities for various projects, including a liquefied natural gas project in Australia and a refinery expansion project in the United States. Segment profit margin of 3.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was essentially level with the 3.7 percent segment profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

New awards for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $3.9 billion, compared to $1.0 billion for the first quarter of 2011. Current quarter awards included major new projects in Kazakhstan and India and additional work releases for some ongoing projects in Canada. Backlog at March 31, 2012 increased 24 percent to $16.8 billion compared to $13.6 billion at March 31, 2011. Although market conditions remain very competitive, the increase in backlog reflects the improvement in the segment’s markets, particularly the increasing worldwide demand for new capacity in oil and gas production, refining and petrochemicals.

 

Total assets in the segment were $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2012 compared to $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2011.

Revenue and segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased 40 percent and 12 percent, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to substantial growth in the mining and metals business line. Segment profit margin of 3.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased compared to 4.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to higher performance for numerous projects in the infrastructure business line in 2011.

 

The company is involved in a dispute in connection with the Greater Gabbard Project. The dispute relates to the company’s claim for additional compensation for schedule and cost impacts arising from delays in the fabrication of monopiles and transition pieces, along with certain disruption and productivity issues associated with construction activities and weather-related delays. The company believes the schedule and cost impacts are attributable to the client and other third parties. As of March 31, 2012, the company had recorded $289 million of claim revenue related to this issue for costs incurred to date. The company believes the ultimate recovery of incurred costs related to the claim is probable under ASC 605-35-25. The company will continue to periodically evaluate its position and the amount recognized in revenue with respect to this claim. The project is expected to be substantially complete by mid-2012. However, the resolution of the claim is expected to extend beyond the completion date of the project. As of March 31, 2012, the client had withheld the contractual maximum for liquidated damages related to the dispute of approximately $150 million. The company will seek to recover in arbitration all damages resulting from the client’s breaches of the contract for the project, including the claim amount and a significant portion of the liquidated damages. The client also recently filed a counterclaim against the company seeking to recover costs associated with alleged defects. To the extent the client’s counterclaim is successful or the company is not successful in recovering its damages, there could be a substantial charge to earnings.

 

New awards in the Industrial & Infrastructure segment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $3.7 billion compared to $3.9 billion for the first quarter of 2011. Major new awards for the current year quarter included additional scope for an iron

ore joint venture project in Western Australia and copper mining projects in Peru and the United States. Backlog increased eight percent to $21.4 billion as of March 31, 2012 compared to $19.8 billion as of March 31, 2011, primarily due to substantial new award activity in the mining and metals business line.

 

Total assets in the Industrial & Infrastructure segment were $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2012 compared to $944 million as of December 31, 2011. This increase was due to additional working capital to support project execution activities of the mining and metals business line and the Greater Gabbard Project.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased a modest four percent compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue increases attributable to project execution activities associated with the gaseous diffusion plant contract for the Department of Energy in Portsmouth, Ohio (the “Portsmouth Project”) that was awarded in the first quarter of 2011 and an increase in the volume of work for the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (“LOGCAP IV”) for the United States Army in Afghanistan were partially offset by a reduction in revenue for certain other projects, including the close-out of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”) funded work at the Savannah River Site Management and Operating Project (the “Savannah River Project”) in South Carolina.

 

Segment profit increased three percent for the first three months of 2012 compared to the first three months of 2011, primarily due to a reforecast of amounts to be billed for indirect overhead rates and the higher project execution activities on the Portsmouth Project. The higher segment profit in the first quarter of 2012 was offset somewhat by charges totaling $13 million related to an adverse judgment associated with the company’s claim on an embassy project, which is discussed further in Note 13 above, and reduced contributions from the ARRA funded work at the Savannah River Project. Segment profit margin for both the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 4.2 percent.

 

New awards were $389 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $882 million for the same period in 2011. New awards in the first quarter of 2011 included the initial contract funding for the Portsmouth Project, which is renewed annually in the third quarter, and a higher level of advance funding for LOGCAP IV task orders. Backlog was $695 million as of March 31, 2012 compared to $811 million as of March 31, 2011. The reduction in backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2012 was primarily due to the reduced level of advance funding for LOGCAP IV task orders that impacted new awards.

 

Total assets in the Government segment increased to $908 million as of March 31, 2012 from $800 million as of December 31, 2011 due to an increase in working capital to support project execution activities, particularly for LOGCAP IV task orders.

Revenue increased 13 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 principally due to the equipment business line’s higher volume of activity in Peru, Mexico, Africa and the Middle East.

 

Segment profit increased 39 percent for the first three months of 2012 compared to the first three months of 2011 primarily due to the equipment business line’s growth in Afghanistan and project close-out activities in North America, as well as the

operations and maintenance business line which experienced higher contributions from various domestic and international projects. Segment profit margin of 10.1 percent in the current quarter compared favorably to 8.2 percent for the same quarter in 2011 due to improvement in margins from the operations and maintenance business line.

 

New awards in the Global Services segment were $249 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $422 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The operations and maintenance business line continues to experience lower volume related to renewals with existing clients, as well as delayed work releases. Backlog as of March 31, 2012 was $1.9 billion compared to $2.2 billion as of March 31, 2011. Operations and maintenance activities that have yet to be performed comprise Global Services backlog. Short-duration operations and maintenance activities may not contribute to ending backlog. In addition, the equipment, temporary staffing and supply chain solutions business lines do not report backlog or new awards.

 

Total assets in the Global Services segment were $936 million as of March 31, 2012 and $937 million as of December 31, 2011.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased 17 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to the expected reduction in project execution activities on several projects which have reached or are near final completion including gas-fired power plants in Texas, Virginia and Georgia, as well as reduced volume on certain other projects progressing toward completion. Offsetting some of the overall revenue decrease was a revenue increase attributable to a number of projects awarded in 2011, including an air emissions control construction program for Luminant.

 

Segment profit and segment profit margin for the first quarter of 2012 declined significantly compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to reduced contributions from projects nearing completion, including the gas-fired power plants in Texas and Virginia, and $10 million of expenses associated with NuScale, a small modular nuclear reactor technology company, in which the company acquired a majority interest during late 2011. The company continues to invest in NuScale operations, which are primarily research and development activities at this time. Although part of the Power segment, these activities could provide future benefits to both commercial and government clients.

 

The Power segment continues to be impacted by relatively weak demand for new power generation. Improving market opportunities include gas-fired baseload generation, renewable energy, regional transmission additions and air emissions compliance projects for existing coal-fired power plants. New awards in the first quarter of 2012 were $93 million compared to $57 million in the first quarter of 2011. Backlog increased to $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2012 from $812 million as of March 31, 2011, principally driven by new awards in the latter part of 2011, including an air emissions control construction program for Luminant, a new gas-fired power plant project in Texas and a new solar power project in Arizona.

 

Total assets in the Power segment were $170 million as of March 31, 2012 and $191 million as of December 31, 2011.

 

Other

 

Corporate general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $37.8 million compared to $33.8 million for the first quarter of 2011. This increase was the net result of several factors, none of which were individually significant.

 

Net interest income was $2.7 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to net interest income of $4.7 million during the corresponding period of 2011.

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is discussed above under “Results of Operations.”

LITIGATION AND MATTERS IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

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

 

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Liquidity is provided by available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, credit facilities and access to financial markets. The company has committed and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $3.7 billion, which may be used for revolving loans, letters of credit and general purposes. The company believes that for at least the next 12 months, cash generated from operations, along with its unused credit capacity of $2.5 billion and substantial cash position, is sufficient to fund operating requirements. However, the company regularly reviews its sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to increase its liquidity positions in favorable market conditions. The company’s conservative financial strategy and consistent performance have earned it strong credit ratings, resulting in continued access to the financial markets. As of March 31, 2012, the company was in compliance with all its covenants related to its debt agreements. The company’s total debt to total capitalization (“debt-to-capital”) ratio as of March 31, 2012 was 13.1 percent compared to 13.6 percent as of December 31, 2011.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2012 compared to $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents combined with current and noncurrent marketable securities were $2.7 billion and $2.8 billion as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents are held in numerous accounts throughout the world to fund the company’s global project execution activities. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States amounted to $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The company did not consider any cash to be permanently reinvested overseas as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and, as a result, has accrued the U.S. deferred tax liability on foreign earnings, as appropriate.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash utilized by operating activities was $47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $371 million for the three months ended 2011. Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings sources and are impacted by changes in working capital. The year over year decrease in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributable to fluctuations in working capital that result from normal project execution activities associated with numerous projects. Working capital balances increased during the first quarter of 2012 compared to a decline during the first quarter of 2011. The change in working capital during the first quarter of 2012 is attributable to increases in accounts receivable in the Industrial & Infrastructure and Government segments and increases in contract work in progress in the Oil & Gas, Industrial & Infrastructure and Government segments, partially offset by an increase in advance billings in the Oil & Gas and Industrial & Infrastructure segments. The higher accounts receivable balances are the result of normal billing and collection activities and not indicative of any significant collection or liquidity issue. The higher contract work in progress balances result from normal project execution activities and are expected to be billed and collected from clients. The decline in working capital in the first quarter of 2011 was attributable to an increase in advance billings for the Oil & Gas segment as well as a reduction of accounts receivable and contract work in progress in the Government segment.

 

During the three months ended March 2012 and 2011, the company had net cash outlays of $86 million and $61 million, respectively, to fund the project execution activities for the Greater Gabbard Project.

 

The levels of operating assets and liabilities vary from year to year and are affected by the mix, stage of completion and commercial terms of engineering and construction projects, as well as the company’s volume of work and the execution of its projects within budget. 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. Project working capital requirements will vary by project. The company’s cash position is reduced as customer advances are used in project execution, unless they are replaced by advances on new projects. The company maintains cash reserves and borrowing facilities to satisfy any net operating cash outflows in the event there is an investment in operating assets that exceeds the projects’ available cash balances.

The company contributed approximately $3 million into its defined benefit plans during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The company expects to fund approximately $30 million to $60 million during 2012, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash utilized by investing activities amounted to $152 million and $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The primary investing activities included purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities, capital expenditures and disposals of property, plant and equipment.

 

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, 2012, purchases of marketable securities exceeded proceeds from the sales and maturities by $133 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities exceeded purchases by $7 million. The company held current and noncurrent marketable securities of $728 million and $600 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Capital expenditures of $54 million and $56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, primarily related to construction equipment associated with equipment operations in the Global Services segment. Proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment totaled $37 million and $13 million during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash utilized by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of $64 million and $315 million, respectively, included company stock repurchases, company dividend payments to stockholders, convertible note repayments and distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests.

 

Cash flows from financing activities in the first quarter of 2012 included the repurchase and cancellation of 450,000 shares of the company’s common stock for $27 million under its stock repurchase program. Cash flows from financing activities in the first quarter of 2011 included the repurchase and cancellation of 3,500,000 shares of the company’s common stock for $246 million under its stock repurchase program. Quarterly cash dividends were declared at a rate of $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2012 (compared to $0.125 in the first quarter of 2011) and are typically paid during the month following the quarter in which they are declared. The payment and level of future cash dividends is subject to the discretion of the company’s Board of Directors.

 

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 and debt issuance costs. Interest on the 2011 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning 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. Additionally, if a change of control triggering event occurs, as defined by the terms of the indenture, the company will be required to offer to purchase the 2011 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. The company is generally not limited under the indenture governing 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. These covenants are not expected to impact the company’s liquidity or capital resources.

 

In February 2004, the company issued $330 million of 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2004 Notes”) due February 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $323 million, net of underwriting discounts. Proceeds from the 2004 Notes were used to pay off the then-outstanding commercial paper and $100 million was used to obtain ownership of engineering and corporate office facilities in California through payoff of the lease financing. In December 2004, the company irrevocably elected to pay the principal amount of the 2004 Notes in cash. The 2004 Notes are convertible if a specified trading price of the company’s common stock (the “trigger price”) is achieved and maintained for a specified period. The trigger price condition was satisfied during the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012 and the 2004 Notes were therefore classified as short-term debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, holders converted $0.3 million of the 2004 Notes in exchange for the principal balance owed in cash plus 6,040 shares of the company’s common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2011,

 

24



Table of Contents

 

holders converted $32 million of the 2004 Notes in exchange for the principal balance owed in cash plus 692,435 shares of the company’s common stock. The company does not know the timing or principal amount of the remaining 2004 Notes that may be presented for conversion by the holders in the future. Additionally, the 2004 Notes are currently redeemable at the option of the company, in whole or in part, at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Available cash balances will be used to satisfy any principal and interest payments. Shares of the company stock will be issued to satisfy any appreciation between the conversion price and the market price on the date of conversion.

 

Distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests were $20 million and $27 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

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 other comprehensive loss. Unrealized gains of $24 million in 2012 relate to the effect of exchange rate changes on cash. The cash held in foreign currencies will primarily be used for project-related expenditures in those currencies, and therefore the company’s exposure to realized exchange gains and losses is considered nominal.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Guarantees and Commitments

 

On December 14, 2010, the company entered into a $1.2 billion Revolving Performance Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (“Letter of Credit Facility”) that matures in 2015 and an $800 million Revolving Loan and Financial Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures in 2013. Borrowings on the $800 million Revolving Credit Facility are to bear interest at rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin. The Letter of Credit Facility may be increased up to an additional $500 million subject to certain conditions.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the company had a combination of committed and uncommitted lines of credit that totaled $3.7 billion. These lines may be used for revolving loans, letters of credit or general purposes. The committed lines consist of the two facilities discussed above, as well as a $500 million letter of credit facility that matures in 2014. Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily to indemnify our clients if we fail to perform our obligations under our contracts. As of March 31, 2012, $1.2 billion in letters of credit were outstanding under these lines of credit. Surety bonds are also posted as an alternative form of credit enhancement.

 

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to clients on behalf of certain consolidated and unconsolidated 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 facilities being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential payment amount of an outstanding performance guarantee is the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts. 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. Performance guarantees outstanding as of March 31, 2012 were estimated to be $6.9 billion. The company assessed its performance guarantee obligation as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 in accordance with ASC 460, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” and the carrying value of the liability was not material.

 

Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business on behalf of clients and others 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. Most arrangements require the borrower to pledge collateral in the form of property, plant and equipment which is deemed adequate to recover amounts the company might be required to pay.

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 variable interest entity (“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.

PART II:  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Fluor and its subsidiaries, as part of their normal business activities, are parties to a number of legal proceedings and other matters in various stages of development.
