Current report
We continue to see solid client engagement across our markets and a robust and diverse pipeline of opportunities, particularly where accelerated schedules and critical business needs are driving investment. While some clients are pacing commitments due to cost pressures or commodity price softness, our teams are actively advancing engineering and design work so projects can move quickly once final decisions are made. These timing shifts impacted 2025 results, but we remain focused on disciplined execution, cost management, and positioning our clients for long‑term success.
Current report
Revenue, profit and operating cash flow in 2025 was significantly impacted by a judgment on the long completed Santos project in Australia. We have appealed the Court decision and we are also working with our insurance carriers to address the obligations arising from the judgment and the costs related to the appeal. We recognized a reversal of revenue of $643 million during 2025, inclusive of committed insurance proceeds, representing the net payment to Santos made in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Current report
We slowed our execution activities at our joint venture in Mexico beginning in the second quarter of 2025 through much of the third quarter to minimize our working capital exposure to the joint venture's primary customer. The customer made significant progress payments through December 2025, which allowed us to execute a controlled restart of our project execution activities.
Current report
Prior to November 2025, we converted 15 million of our 126 million NuScale voting shares (along with the associated ownership units in NuScale's operating subsidiary) into registered shares and sold all 15 million of those shares for net proceeds of $605 million. We converted the remaining 111 million of our NuScale voting shares (along with the associated ownership units in NuScale's operating subsidiary) into registered shares upon reaching agreement with NuScale in November 2025, including the following general attributes:
Current report
•Conversion of the 111 million remaining ownership units into NuScale registered shares on a one-to-one basis;
Current report
•For open market sales, daily limitations on our NuScale sales that vary depending on defined blackout dates for NuScale;
Current report
•Voting covenant whereby we will agree to affirmatively support the expansion of NuScale’s authorized share count by up to 330 million shares;
Current report
•Imposition of NuScale trading limitations on any newly authorized shares through February 2026;
Current report
•50% reduction in our benefits, if any, that may arise under the tax receivable agreement with NuScale;
Current report
•Modification of our exclusivity arrangement with NuScale; and
Current report
•Various mutual releases and non-disparagement provisions.
Current report
In November 2025, through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, we entered into a variable price forward sale agreement whereby we pledged and granted a security interest in 71 million of our remaining shares in NuScale, while maintaining continuing involvement and ownership rights, and committed to sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver those shares at the final settlement date in the first quarter of 2026. Through our bank's execution, we completed the sale of all 71 million shares of NuScale on February 13, 2026, generating total proceeds of $1.35 billion. We expect to monetize the remaining 40 million shares of NuScale via similar structured programs and expect that all remaining ownership in NuScale should be sold by the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
Our divestiture of the Stork business was substantially completed following the sale of Stork's U.K. operations in 2025. Stork's operations in continental Europe were sold in 2024.
Current report
In December 2025, we reached an agreement to sell our ownership in the fabrication yard in China for approximately $122 million. The sale is expected to close in 2026, subject to the conditions in the agreement.
Current report
(1)In addition to the measurements under GAAP, we measure our performance by analyzing trends in adjusted net revenue (and related margin), which we determine by reducing GAAP revenue to exclude at-cost revenue associated with reimbursable contracts for the following elements, where applicable:
Current report
•amounts associated with unaffiliated subcontractor project costs that are billed to clients without meaningful markup;
Current report
•amounts associated with costs of material that are billed to clients without meaningful markup; and
Current report
•costs of CFM that are procured by our clients and which do not give rise to meaningful markup to our billings to clients.
Current report
Such at-cost revenue is generally reflected in our project estimates at equivalent amounts within the revenue and cost elements. Therefore, we believe our adjusted net revenue represents the basis for which we earn fees for our professional services. Others in our industry may have similar terms that they use to similarly measure the earnings power of their services. Even though our involvement with at-cost revenue elements as a principal gives rise to their inclusion in our consolidated revenue, the absence of meaningful markup to them elevates the importance of this non-GAAP analysis. During 2025 and 2024, at-cost revenue was approximately $8 billion and $7 billion, respectively (or approximately 53% and 40% of consolidated revenue). Excluding the amounts of at-cost revenue from both GAAP revenue and from project cost yields an amount that we call adjusted net margin.
Current report
(3)During 2025, our backlog decreased due to the execution pace exceeding new award activity. We booked a multi-billion dollar award for a life sciences project during 2025. We booked significant positive project adjustments related to scope increases on several large projects during the second quarter of 2025 and scope reductions on 2 large projects in the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
Revenue decreased in 2025 primarily due to the reversal of previously recognized revenue of $643 million for a judgment on the long-completed Santos project in Australia as well as a decline in execution activity for Energy Solutions projects nearing completion. However, revenue in both Urban Solutions and Mission Solutions increased in 2025 due to the ramp up of execution activities on life sciences and mining and metals projects and an increase in volume on a DOE project.
Current report
Earnings before taxes decreased during 2025 due to the same factors that impacted revenue above as well as cost growth on 3 infrastructure projects for subcontracted design errors, price escalation and schedule impacts.
Current report
In July 2025, the OBBB Act, which includes a broad range of U.S. tax reforms, was signed into law. The OBBB Act did not have a material impact on our consolidated results.
Current report
Revenue increased in 2025 due to the ramp up of execution activities on life sciences and mining and metal projects. The increase in 2025 revenue was partially offset by a decline in execution activity for recently completed projects and projects nearing completion. During 2025 and 2024, at-cost revenue for Urban Solutions was approximately $5 billion and $4 billion, respectively (or approximately 59% and 51% of their segment revenue).
Current report
Segment profit in 2025 decreased due to forecast adjustments for cost growth on 3 infrastructure projects related to subcontracted design errors, price escalation, schedule impacts partially offset by the refinement of expected recovery on these same projects. These forecast adjustments of $108 million were partially offset by improved performance on other infrastructure projects, a favorable negotiation with a designer on a separate infrastructure project and the ramp up of life sciences projects. The changes in segment profit margin in 2025 reflect these same factors.
Current report
New awards in 2025 included a large multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical facility, two significant mining projects and construction contracts for 2 infrastructure projects. Backlog increased in 2025 due to the new award activity. Our staffing business does not report new awards or backlog.
Current report
Results for the fourth quarter of 2025. Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased due to a portion of the forecast adjustments for cost growth on the infrastructure projects discussed above.
Current report
Revenue decreased in 2025 primarily due to the reversal of previously recognized revenue of $643 million for a judgment on the long completed Santos project in Australia. The revenue decrease was further driven by a decline in execution activity for several projects nearing completion and for certain projects at our joint venture in Mexico where we slowed our execution activities beginning in the second quarter of 2025 through much of the third quarter as previously discussed. The customer made significant progress payments in the latter half of 2025, which allowed us to execute a controlled restart of our project execution activities. The declines in revenue were partially offset by the ramp up of execution activities on a batteries project in Poland. During both 2025 and 2024, at-cost revenue for Energy Solutions was approximately $2 billion (or approximately 49% and 37% of their segment revenue).
Current report
Segment profit and profit margin declined in 2025 due to the judgment on the Santos project.
Current report
Results for the fourth quarter of 2025. Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was consistent with the fourth quarter of 2024.
Current report
Revenue increased in 2025 primarily due to an increase in project execution volume associated with a construction project for the DOE and hurricane claims administration support for FEMA, partially offset by reduced volumes on 2 DOE projects. Revenue in 2025 also included the recognition of revenue reserves for certain disputed costs on a DOD project and an adverse ruling on a long-standing claim for a project completed in 2019. During both 2025 and 2024, Mission Solutions had no meaningful amounts of at-cost revenue.
Current report
Segment profit and profit margin declined in 2025 primarily due to the recognition of revenue reserves for certain disputed costs on a DOD project and an adverse ruling on a long-standing claim for a project completed in 2019.

Equity Method Earnings
Current report
In 2025, we sold 15 million of our NuScale shares for net proceeds of $605 million. In February 2026, we completed the sale of 71 million shares of NuScale via a variable price forward sale agreement, generating total proceeds of $1.35 billion. We expect to monetize the remaining 40 million shares of NuScale using similar structured programs and expect that all remaining ownership in NuScale should be sold by the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
During 2025, we used $754 million to repurchase and cancel 18 million shares of common stock under our repurchase program. Over 10 million shares could still be purchased under the repurchase program as of December 31, 2025, but in February 2026 our board authorized a 30 million share expansion to the repurchase program. We are targeting approximately $1.4 billion in share repurchases in 2026, including $500 million in the first quarter.
Current report
(1) Operating cash flow in 2025 included a payment of $642 million to Santos, net of insurance recoveries, for a judgment related to a reimbursable project completed by us in 2015.
Current report
Our operating cash flow for 2025 was significantly impacted by $642 million paid to Santos, net of insurance recoveries, upon a judgment over Santos’ efforts to recover costs related to a reimbursable project completed by us in 2015. This decline was partially offset by decreases in working capital on several large projects as well as distributions from a large Energy Solutions joint venture. During 2025, we funded $74 million on 2 consolidated infrastructure projects.
Current report
During 2025, we converted all 126 million of our NuScale voting shares (along with the associated ownership units in NuScale's operating subsidiary) into registered shares. We sold 15 million of those shares for net proceeds of $605 million during 2025. In February 2026, we completed the sale of 71 million shares for proceeds of $1.35 billion.
Current report
Investments in partnerships and joint ventures in 2025 included $158 million in funding on a proportionately consolidated loss project for an infrastructure joint venture, $38 million in funding on an Energy Solutions joint venture and $33 million in funding to a separate infrastructure joint venture to make a legal settlement payment. Investments in partnerships and joint ventures in 2024 included capital contributions to an infrastructure joint venture, an Energy Solutions joint venture and a Mission Solutions joint venture.

Previous report
In the first quarter of 2024, we completed the sale of Stork's operations in continental Europe. During April 2024, we also entered into a definitive agreement to sell Stork's U.K. operations, which we completed in the first quarter of 2025. The sale did not meet the requirements for discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024 and will not have a material impact on the financial statements. In the third quarter of 2024, we decided to close our Stork operations in Trinidad and Tobago which required us to take a $7 million severance charge. After completing the wind down of the Trinidad and Tobago operations, Stork's divestiture will be complete.
Previous report
Beginning in October 2024, based principally on their equity sales, we no longer met the criteria to consolidate NuScale. As a consequence, their results for all periods prior to October 2024 were consolidated, but we deconsolidated NuScale after that date and recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, based on a stock price of $13.15 for our 126 million shares. 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 an additional pre-tax gain of $604 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. After its deconsolidation, NuScale is included in equity method earnings on our statement of operations.
Previous report
Consolidated revenue increased in 2024 primarily driven by an increase in execution activities on several recently awarded projects in our Urban Solutions segment partially offset by revenue declines in Energy Solutions and Mission Solutions.
Previous report
Earnings before taxes significantly improved in 2024 driven by an increase in execution activities on recently awarded life sciences and mining projects as well as the completion or resolution of certain legacy projects in 2024, partially offset by declines in profit due to the recognition of inflation-adjusted variable consideration on certain projects in 2023. The improvement in earnings before taxes in 2024 was also attributable to losses recognized in 2023 on the sales of our AMECO and Stork businesses in Latin America. Further, earnings before taxes in 2024 included a foreign currency gain compared to a loss in 2023.
Previous report
In 2024, we received refunds of $169 million, including interest, from the IRS attributable to the 2013 tax year that was originally recognized as a receivable in 2020 pursuant to the CARES Act.
Previous report
Beginning in January 2024, many non-US tax jurisdictions have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate described in the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules, also known as Pillar Two. Pillar Two establishes a global minimum tax of 15% on large multinational corporations. We considered the applicable tax law changes in the countries in which we operate and have determined that there is no material impact to our tax provision in 2024. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes on future periods.
Previous report
We are one of the larger technical and professional services firms providing engineering and design, project management, procurement, construction, operations and maintenance, and fabrication and modularization services.
Previous report
Revenue in 2024 significantly increased compared to 2023 primarily due to the ramp up of execution activities on several recently awarded projects including two life sciences projects, a large metals project, a green steel project and a large mining project.
Previous report
Segment profit increased in 2024 due to the ramp up of several recently awarded projects, partially offset by cost growth on an infrastructure project. Segment profit in 2024 included an agreement to the terms of a change order on a legacy infrastructure project compared to a $59 million charge for rework associated with subcontractor design errors and related schedule impacts on the same project during 2023. Further, segment profit in 2023 included the favorable settlement of a claim on an international bridge project. The changes in segment profit margin in 2024 reflect these same factors.
Previous report
New awards in 2024 included a large life sciences project, an incremental award on a large metals project as well as several significant contract extensions for Plant & Facility Services. Backlog increased during 2024 due to these 2 large awards. Our staffing business does not report new awards or backlog.
Previous report
Results for the fourth quarter of 2024. Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2024 significantly decreased due to the favorable settlement of a claim on an international bridge project during 2023.
Previous report
Revenue declined during 2024 primarily due to a decline in execution activity for several projects nearing completion, a deferral of revenue recognized on a large project due to reduced productivity and lower revenue on our refinery projects in Mexico as well as revenue on inflation-adjusted variable consideration recognized in 2023. The decreases in revenue during 2024 were partially offset by the ramp up of execution activities on 3 chemicals projects.
Previous report
Segment profit declined in 2024 primarily due to the initial recognition of inflation-adjusted variable consideration on certain downstream projects during 2023. Segment profit in 2024 was also impacted by cost growth related to schedule delays and reduced productivity on a large project in the late stages of execution. We recognized a positive adjustment upon the negotiation of change orders on the same project in 2023. Further, cost growth on a construction-only subcontract executed by our joint venture in Mexico resulted in charges totaling $66 million during 2024. The decrease in segment profit during 2024 was partially offset by final negotiations and handover of a large upstream legacy project which was completed during the second quarter of 2024. We recorded $91 million for cost growth on the now-completed project during 2023. Segment profit in 2024 also included gains of $47 million on embedded foreign currency derivatives compared to a loss of $17 million in 2023. The changes in segment profit margin in 2024 reflect these same factors.
Previous report
Results for the fourth quarter of 2024. Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2024 significantly increased which reflected $33 million for cost growth and schedule extension in 2023 on the now-completed, large upstream legacy project.
Previous report
Revenue declined slightly during 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the cancellation of a project in late 2023.
Previous report
Segment profit and profit margin significantly improved during 2024 primarily due to the recognition of a $30 million charge in 2023 for cost growth associated with schedule delays on a weapons facility project that is now complete. The increase in segment profit and profit margin in 2024 was further driven by improved performance on 2 DOE contracts in 2024, partially offset by the cancellation of the aforementioned project.
Previous report
Other includes the operations of NuScale prior to deconsolidation and the operations of the remaining Stork and AMECO business prior to their sale.
Previous report
Segment profit in 2023 includes a $60 million negative earnings impact on the sale of our AMECO South America business (including $35 million for foreign currency translation) and a $93 million negative earnings impact on the sale of our Stork business in Latin America (including cash paid to the buyer of $31 million and $33 million for foreign currency translation).
Previous report
Fair Value Measurements. We are required to use fair value measurement techniques with inputs that require the use of estimates and involve significant judgment for our impairment testing and in measuring held for sale assets. We estimate the fair value of our assets by considering the results of either the income-based or market-based valuation approach. Under the income approach, we prepare a discounted cash flow valuation model using recent forecasts and compare the estimated fair value of each asset to its carrying value. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using the appropriate weighted-average cost of capital at the date of evaluation. The weighted-average cost of capital is comprised of the cost of equity and the cost of debt with a weighting for each that reflects our current capital structure which can be impacted by volatility in interest rates. Preparation of long-term forecasts involve significant judgments involving consideration of our backlog, expected future awards, customer attrition, working capital assumptions, and general market trends and conditions. Significant changes in these forecasts or any valuation assumptions, such as the discount rate selected, could affect the estimated fair value of our assets and could result in impairment expenses. Under the market approach, we consider market information such as multiples of comparable publicly traded companies and/or completed sales transactions to develop or validate our fair value conclusions, when appropriate and available.
Previous report
In December 2024, we used $125 million to repurchase and cancel 2,353,280 shares of common stock under our repurchase program. Over 28,000,000 shares could still be purchased under the repurchase program as of December 31, 2024. Between January 1, 2025 and February 14, 2025, we repurchased and canceled approximately 0.7 million shares of our common stock for $37 million. We will continue to repurchase shares of our stock throughout 2025 to return capital to our shareholders.
Previous report
Our operating cash flow for 2024 significantly improved driven by decreases in working capital on several large projects. The improvement in operating cash flow was also attributable to customer payments on several large projects, distributions from joint ventures of $367 million and refunds of $169 million, including interest, from the IRS attributable to the 2013 tax year that was originally recognized as a receivable in 2020 pursuant to the CARES Act. We also funded an estimated $99 million on loss projects during 2024.
Previous report
Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in 2024 included capital contributions to 3 infrastructure joint ventures and an Energy Solutions joint venture compared to capital contributions to 3 infrastructure joint ventures and a Mission Solutions joint venture in 2023.

Previous wording
(2)Backlog represents the total amount of revenue we expect to record in the future based upon contracts that have been awarded to us. Backlog is stated in terms of gross revenues and may include significant estimated amounts of third-party, subcontracted, CFM and pass-through costs as well as other forms of variable consideration. For projects related to proportionately consolidated joint ventures, we include only our percentage ownership of each joint venture's backlog. We recognize new awards into backlog when we and our client have approved the contract (written or verbal) and are committed to perform our respective obligations. Although backlog reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. Backlog is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. Backlog differs from RUPO discussed elsewhere in this 10-K. Backlog includes the amount of revenue we expect to recognize under ongoing operations and maintenance contracts for the remainder of the current year renewal period plus up to 3 additional years if renewal is considered to be probable, while RUPO includes only the amount of revenue we expect to recognize under contracts with definite terms and substantive termination provisions. In 2025, we expect to execute approximately half of our ending 2024 backlog.

Previous wording
New awards and backlog were lower in 2024 compared to 2023. New awards booked during 2024 included a full notice to proceed on a downstream project in Mexico. Backlog declined during 2024 due to the execution pace exceeding new award activity.
Current wording
New awards were lower in 2025 compared to 2024. Backlog declined during 2025 due to the execution pace exceeding new award activity.
Previous wording
New awards increased during 2024 compared to 2023 due to task order contracts awarded under the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program V as well as contract extension awards at two DOE sites. Backlog included $665 million and $2.7 billion of unfunded government contracts as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unfunded backlog reflects our estimate of future revenue under awarded government contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated. We do not report new awards or backlog for projects related to our equity method investments even though these awards may be significant contributors to earnings in future periods. For example, our new awards and backlog does not reflect the Pantex management and operations contract, recently awarded to a joint venture in which we have significant influence but a noncontrolling interest. The estimated value of the contract to the joint venture is $30 billion, if all of the 5-year options are exercised.
Current wording
New awards in 2025 were stable with 2024 and included a six-year contract to extend our presence at the Portsmouth site. Backlog included $1.0 billion and $665 million of unfunded government contracts as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unfunded backlog reflects our estimate of future revenue under awarded government contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated. We do not report new awards or backlog for projects related to our equity method investments even though these awards may be significant contributors to earnings in future periods.
Previous wording
Segment profit in 2024 includes a $7 million charge for severance expected upon liquidation of Stork's operations in Trinidad and Tobago as well as an $11 million gain on the sale of Stork's operations in continental Europe. We completed the sale of Stork's U.K. operations in the first quarter of 2025. With the completion of the Stork U.K. divestiture, we expect the results of this segment to be immaterial in 2025.
Current wording
Prior to its deconsolidation in October 2024, the results of NuScale were presented in our Other segment. In 2025, 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 2024. The results from our Other segment were immaterial for 2025.
Previous wording
The decrease in compensation expense in 2024 was primarily driven by lower performance-based compensation. The increase in exit costs in 2024 was driven by the Stork divestiture.
Current wording
The decrease in compensation expense in 2025 was primarily driven by lower stock price-driven compensation and performance-based compensation. During 2025, we recognized severance and exit costs primarily related to certain international office closures.
Previous wording
The decrease in net interest income during 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in 2024 interest rates earned on cash deposits including at our joint ventures in Canada and Mexico as well as the interest savings following the extinguishment of our 2024 Notes at the end of 2023.
Current wording
The decrease in net interest income during 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in interest rates as well as cash balances at certain of our larger joint ventures.
Previous wording
Revenue Recognition for Long-Term Contracts. We recognize our engineering and construction contract revenue over time as we provide services to satisfy our performance obligations. We generally use the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion measure of progress as it best depicts how control transfers to our clients. The cost-to-cost approach measures progress towards completion based on the ratio of cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. Use of the cost-to-cost measure of progress requires us to prepare estimates of total expected revenue and cost to complete our projects.

Fair Value Measurements. We elected the fair value option of accounting for our investment in NuScale that would have otherwise been recorded under the equity method of accounting. 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 may subject our consolidated earnings to volatility. We recognize the fair value of our forward sale contract in NuScale shares based on the difference between the closing price of NuScale at December 31, 2025 and the year-to-date settlement price calculated per the agreement plus a discounted growth assumption through the estimated settlement date. No estimates are used in the determination of the fair value of our investment in NuScale or the forward sale contract.

Our liquidity arises from available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, capacity under our credit facility and, when necessary, access to capital markets. We have committed and uncommitted lines of credit available for revolving loans and letters of credit. We believe that for at least the next 12 months, anticipated cash generated from operations, along with our unused credit capacity and cash position, is sufficient to support operating requirements and debt maturities. We regularly review our sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to address our liquidity needs.

Our liquidity arises from available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, capacity under our credit facility and, when necessary, access to capital markets. In 2026, liquidity is expected to be positively impacted by the proceeds from the sales of NuScale shares and the fabrication yard in China.

Our credit facility 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, which is a one notch downgrade from both agencies' current ratings. If we are required to provide collateral, it would consist broadly of liens on our U.S. assets.

As of December 31, 2024, letters of credit totaling $483 million were outstanding under our $1.8 billion credit facility, which was amended in February 2025 to increase the facility to $2.2 billion and extend the maturity to February 2028. The prior and amended credit facility contains customary financial covenants, including a debt-to-capitalization ratio that cannot exceed 0.60 to 1.00, based upon total shareholders' equity excluding AOCI, 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. 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 December 31, 2024 and through the issuance of this 10-K, we had not made any borrowings under our credit line. We have a sublimit of up to $1.0 billion in aggregate cash advances and financial letters of credit available to us under our credit facility with a current borrowing capacity of $834 million.

Cash and cash equivalents combined with marketable securities were $3.0 billion and $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our cash balance as of December 31, 2023 includes cash held by NuScale of $118 million. With the deconsolidation of NuScale beginning in October 2024, cash balances held by NuScale are no longer included in our cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in numerous accounts throughout the world to fund our global project execution activities. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1.1 billion as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents exclude deposits of U.S. legal entities that are invested in offshore, overnight accounts or short-term time deposits, to which there is unrestricted access.

In evaluating our liquidity needs, we consider cash and cash equivalents held by our consolidated variable interest entities (joint ventures and partnerships). These amounts (which totaled $333 million and $491 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively) were not necessarily readily available for general purposes. We do not include our share of cash held by our proportionately consolidated joint ventures and partnerships in our consolidated cash balances even though these amounts may be significant. We also consider the extent to which client advances (which totaled $79 million and $80 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively) are likely to be sustained or consumed over the near term for project execution activities and the cash flow requirements of our various foreign operations. In some cases, it may not be financially efficient to move cash and cash equivalents between countries due to statutory dividend limitations and/or adverse tax consequences. We did not consider any cash to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, other than unremitted earnings required to meet our working capital and long-term investment needs in non-U.S. foreign jurisdictions where we operate.

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from our core EPC activities and are affected by our earnings level and changes in working capital associated with such activities. Working capital levels vary from period to period and are primarily affected by our volume of work and billing schedules on our projects. These levels are also impacted by the stage of completion and commercial terms of engineering and construction projects, as well as our execution of our projects compared to their budget. Working capital requirements also vary by project and the payments terms agreed to with our clients, vendors and subcontractors. Most contracts require payments as the projects progress. Additionally, certain projects receive advance payments from clients. A typical trend for our lump-sum projects is to have higher cash balances during the initial phases of execution due to deposits paid to us which then diminish toward the end of the construction phase. As a result, our cash position is reduced as customer advances are utilized, unless they are replaced by advances on other projects. We maintain cash reserves and borrowing facilities to provide additional working capital in the event that a project’s net operating cash outflows exceed its available cash balances. As of December 31, 2024, our backlog included $702 million for ongoing legacy projects in a loss position, including approximately $237 million of estimated unfunded losses associated therewith. The comparable amounts in 2023 were $1.3 billion of backlog and $344 million of unfunded losses.
