Notes to Financial Statements
- Principles of Consolidation
These financial statements do not include footnotes and certain financial information presented annually under GAAP, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our 2024 10-K. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. Although such estimates are based on management’s most recent assessment of the underlying facts and circumstances utilizing the most current information available, our reported results of operations may not necessarily be indicative of results that we expect for the full year.
The financial statements included herein are unaudited. We believe they contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are necessary to fairly present our financial position and our operating results as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain amounts in tables may not total or agree back to the financial statements due to immaterial rounding differences. We have evaluated all material events occurring subsequent to March 31, 2025 through the filing date of this 10-Q.
Quarters are typically 13 weeks in length but, due to our December 31 year-end, the number of weeks in a reporting period may vary slightly during the year and for comparable prior year periods. We report our quarterly results of operations based on periods ending on the Sunday nearest March 31, June 30 and September 30, allowing for 13-week interim reporting periods. For clarity of presentation, all periods are labeled as if the periods ended on March 31, June 30 and September 30.
- Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2025, we adopted ASU 2023-05, which requires certain joint ventures to apply a new basis of accounting upon formation by recognizing and initially measuring most of their assets and liabilities at fair value. The guidance does not apply to joint ventures that may be proportionately consolidated and those that are collaborative arrangements. The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated results.
During 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which requires us to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and to provide more details in our rate reconciliation about items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting beginning in 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial statements, but do not expect it to have any impact to our consolidated results.
During 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 on the disaggregation of income statement expenses or "DISE." This ASU requires additional footnote disclosure of the details of certain income statement expense line items, without changing amounts reported on the consolidated income statement. ASU 2024-03 is first effective for our annual reporting for 2027 and for our quarterly reporting beginning in 2028. We do not expect this ASU to have any impact on our consolidated results.
In October 2024, the FASB issued a proposed ASU to make targeted improvements to the guidance on internal use software to address specific issues raised by stakeholders. The proposed ASU will require entities to use judgment in evaluating when to recognize software costs. A final ASU is expected to be issued in 2025.
- Earnings Per Share
Potentially dilutive securities include convertible debt, stock options, RSUs and performance-based award units. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities using the if-converted and treasury stock methods. In computing diluted EPS, only securities that are actually dilutive are included.

(1) Holders of our 2029 Notes may convert their notes at a conversion price of $45.37 per share when the stock price exceeds $58.98 for 20 of the last 30 days preceding quarter end. Upon conversion, we will repay the principal amount of the notes in cash and may elect to convey the conversion premium in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of both. The conversion feature of our 2029 Notes has a dilutive impact on EPS when the average market price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price of $45.37 per share for the quarter. During the 2025 and 2024 Quarters, the weighted average price of our common stock was below the minimum conversion price.

Urban Solutions. Segment profit increased in the 2025 Quarter due to an increase in execution activities on life sciences projects awarded in the last 18 months and a large metals project as well as a decrease in cost due to design optimization on a highway project. We also recognized profit on a metals project upon a change in percentage of completion due to a change in scope. The increase in segment profit was partially offset by the effects of unfavorable foreign currency movements on an international bridge project.
Energy Solutions. Segment profit declined during the 2025 Quarter due to projects nearing completion and the impact of reserves taken for a joint venture project in Mexico completed in 2019, partially offset by profit recognition on a chemicals project upon a change in percentage of completion due to a client directed change in scope. Segment profit in the 2024 Quarter was adversely impacted by $29 million (or $0.12 per share) in cost growth on a construction only subcontract executed by our joint venture in Mexico.
Mission Solutions. Segment profit declined during the 2025 Quarter compared to the 2024 Quarter due to an additional reserve of $28 million (or $0.16 per share) resulting from a recent ruling on a long-standing claim on a project completed in 2019 partially offset by volume-related growth on a DOE project.
Other. Other included the operations of NuScale prior to deconsolidation in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the operations of the Stork businesses prior to their sale. In the 2025 Quarter, we completed the sale of Stork's operations in the U.K. and recognized a gain on sale of $7 million compared to an $11 million gain on the sale of Stork's operations in continental Europe in the 2024 Quarter. We expect results from our Other segment to be immaterial for 2025.

- Partnerships and Joint Ventures
Many of our partnership and joint venture agreements provide for capital calls to fund operations, as necessary. Investments in a loss position of $206 million and $292 million were included in other accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and consisted primarily of provision for anticipated losses on 2 legacy infrastructure projects. Accounts receivable related to work performed for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in “Accounts receivable, net” was $192 million and $175 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Variable Interest Entities
The aggregate carrying value of unconsolidated VIEs (classified under both "Investments” and “Other accrued liabilities”) was a net asset of $2.0 billion and $2.4 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Some of our VIEs have debt; however, such debt is typically non-recourse to us. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding necessary to satisfy the contractual obligations of the VIE. Future funding commitments as of March 31, 2025 for the unconsolidated VIEs were $48 million.
We are required to consolidate certain VIEs. Assets and liabilities associated with the operations of our consolidated VIEs are presented on the balance sheet. The assets of a VIE are restricted for use only for the particular VIE and are not available for our general operations. We have agreements with certain VIEs to provide financial or performance assurances to clients, as discussed elsewhere.
- Guarantees
The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees, which represents the remaining cost of work to be performed, was estimated to be $15 billion as of March 31, 2025. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed. For lump-sum 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, we may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, partners, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The performance guarantee obligation wasnot material as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
- Contingencies and Commitments
We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to litigation, claims and other commitments and contingencies, including matters arising in the ordinary course of business, of which the asserted value may be significant. We record accruals in the financial statements for contingencies when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. While there is at least a reasonable possibility that other losses may be incurred in excess of amounts accrued, management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss or has determined such amounts to be immaterial, except as otherwise noted below. At present, except as set forth below, we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of any open matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable outcomes could involve substantial monetary damages, fines, penalties and other expenditures. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial position. We might also enter into an agreement to settle one or more such matters if we determine such settlement is in the best interests of our stakeholders, and any such settlement could include substantial payments.
The following disclosures for commitments and contingencies have been updated since the matter was presented in the 2024 10-K.
Fluor Enterprises, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, (“Fluor”) in conjunction with a partner, Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc., (“Balfour”) formed a joint venture known as Prairie Link Constructors JV (“PLC”) and, through it, contracted with the North Texas Tollway Authority (“NTTA”) to provide design and build services for an extension of the NTTA’s President George Bush Turnpike highway (“Project”), which was completed in 2012. In October 2022, the NTTA served PLC, Fluor and Balfour with a petition, filed at Dallas County Court, demanding damages of an unquantified amount under various claims relating to alleged breaches of contract in relation to retaining walls along the Project. In November 2024, the jury issued a $280 million verdict in favor of NTTA. In March 2025, the court issued a final judgment, awarding NTTA $280 million plus interest of $133 million and legal costs, thereby totaling approximately $415 million. The designs in question were performed by subcontractors to PLC, and these subcontractors owe contractual duties to defend and indemnify PLC from liability arising from their work. In April 2025, following a multi-party mediation, a settlement in principle was reached resolving NTTA’s claims against PLC and PLC’s claims against several of its subcontractors in relation to the Project, the terms of which are being finalized. Taking into account expected contributions by PLC’s subcontractors, Balfour and insurers, we recognized an $84 million impact to earnings to reduce the net liability to the ultimate settlement amount, inclusive of expected insurance proceeds.
There have been no substantive changes to the disclosures for the following commitments and contingencies since the matter was presented in the 2024 10-K.
Fluor Australia Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Fluor Australia”), completed a cost reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services project for Santos Ltd. (“Santos”) involving a large network of natural gas gathering and processing facilities in Queensland, Australia. On December 13, 2016, Santos filed an action in Queensland Supreme Court (the “Court”) against Fluor Australia, asserting various causes of action and seeking damages and/or a refund of contract proceeds paid of AUD $1.47 billion. Santos has joined Fluor to the matter on the basis of a parent company guarantee issued for the project. In March 2023, a panel of 3 referees appointed by the Court (the "Panel”) issued a draft, non-binding report setting forth recommendations to the Court regarding liability and damages in the lawsuit. After consideration of further submissions by the parties, the Panel finalized its report on July 14, 2023. The Panel’s report has no legal effect unless it is adopted by the Court through an adoption hearing, and the Court can accept or reject, in whole or in part, the Panel’s recommendations. In the final report, the Panel recommended judgment for Fluor onone of Santos’s damages claims that Santos contends has an approximate value of AUD $700 million, and recommended judgment for Santos on other claims that the Panel valued at approximately AUD $790 million excluding interest and costs. While the project contract contains a liability cap of approximately AUD $236 million, the Panel found that the liability cap did not apply to Santos’s claims. Fluor has made an application to have the Court set aside the reference to the Panel and the Panel’s recommendations on several procedural and substantive grounds, including in relation to apparent bias of the referees, a failure to comply with the order which established the reference to the Panel and a lack of procedural fairness. In July 2023, the Court held oral argument on that application and reserved its decision. Pursuant to an application by Santos to adopt the Panel’s report, the Court then held an adoption hearing in February and March 2024 at which Fluor contended that the Court should not adopt the Panel’s recommendation based on numerous grounds, including the Panel’s failure to apply the project’s liability cap. The Court also reserved its decision at the close of the adoption hearing. We await the Court’s decisions on Fluor’s application to set aside the reference and Santos’s application to adopt the Panel’s report.

Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2025, letters of credit totaling $465 million were outstanding under our $2.2 billion credit facility, which matures in February 2028. This credit facility contains customary financial covenants, including a debt-to-capitalization ratio that cannot exceed 0.60 to 1.00, a limitation on the aggregate amount of debt of the greater of $750 million or €750 million for our subsidiaries, and a minimum liquidity threshold of $1.2 billion, all as defined in the amended credit facility, which may be reduced to $1.0 billion upon the repayment of debt. The credit facility also contains provisions that will require us to provide collateral to secure the facility should we be downgraded to BB by S&P and Ba2 by Moody's, such collateral consisting broadly of our U.S. assets. Borrowings under the facility, which may be denominated in USD, EUR or GBP, bear interest at a base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin. As of March 31, 2025, we had not made any borrowings under our credit facility line and maintained a borrowing capacity of $856 million.
Uncommitted Lines of Credit
As of March 31, 2025, letters of credit totaling $941 million were outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit.

(1) We recognize the fair value of our investment in NuScale on a mark-to-market basis based upon the prevailing price of their stock on our balance sheet dates, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $477 million for the 2025 Quarter. Our investment in NuScale consists of ownership units in NuScale’s operating subsidiary coupled with non-economic voting shares of NuScale. We have the right to collectively exchange these interests for registered and publicly-traded shares of NuScale, subject to certain timing restrictions and NuScale management’s discretion around the maximum number of exchangeable shares each period, if any.
(2) Consists of registered money market funds and an equity index fund held in deferred compensation trusts. These investments represent the net asset value at the close of business of the period based on the last trade or official close of an active market or exchange.

- Stock-Based Compensation
Our executive and director stock-based compensation plans are described more fully in the 2024 10-K.
Equity Awards
Performance-based award units totaling 273,564 and 272,844 were awarded to most officers, including all Section 16 officers, during 2025 and 2024 Quarters, respectively. These awards generally cliff vest after 3 years and contain annual performance conditions for each of the 3 years of the vesting period. Under GAAP, performance-based elements of such awards are not deemed granted until the performance targets have been established. The performance targets for each year are generally established in the first quarter.
For awards granted under the 2025 performance award plan,70% of the award is earned based on achievement of earnings before taxes targets over three 1-year periods and 30% of the award is earned based on our 3-year cumulative TSR relative to companies in the S&P 500 on the date of the award. For awards granted under the 2024 and 2023 performance award plan,80% of the award is earned based on achievement of earnings before taxes targets over three 1-year periods and 20% of the award is earned based on our 3-year cumulative TSR relative to companies in the S&P 500 on the date of the award. The performance component of these awards is deemed granted when targets are set while the TSR component of these awards is deemed granted upon issuance. During the 2025 Quarter, the following units were granted based upon the establishment of performance targets:
| Performance-based Award Units Granted in 2025 | Weighted AverageGrant DateFair ValuePer Share | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 Performance Award Plan | 145,904 | $37.12 |
| 2024 Performance Award Plan | 72,756 | $39.75 |
| 2023 Performance Award Plan | 73,271 | $39.75 |
For awards granted under these performance award plans, the number of units are adjusted at the end of each performance period based on attainment of certain performance targets and on market conditions, pursuant to the terms of the award agreements. As of March 31, 2025, there were 200,416 shares associated with performance awards that had been awarded to employees, but which are not deemed granted due to the underlying performance targets having not yet been established.
Liability Awards
SGI awards granted to executives vest and become payable at a rate of 1/3 of the total award each year. Performance-based awards were awarded to non-Section 16 executives and will be settled in cash.
