Reworded paragraphs (27)

Previous wording

A continuing resolution funding measure has been enacted to finance all U.S. government activities through September 30, 2025, the remainder of the U.S. government's 2025 fiscal year. Under the continuing resolution, partial-year funding at amounts consistent with appropriated levels for fiscal year 2024 are available, subject to certain restrictions, but new spending initiatives are not authorized. Uncertainty continues to exist regarding the 2026 fiscal year budget and the impacts that the new legislative and executive branch will have on the next fiscal year budget. We anticipate the federal budget will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the new Administration and Congress, efficiency initiatives by the Department of Government Efficiency, the global security environment, inflationary pressures including tariffs and macroeconomic conditions. Thus far, the directives of the administration and actions of the DOGE have resulted in federal government staff reductions and hiring freezes and may result in delays in contract awards.

The Administration published its fiscal year 2026 budget request in June 2025. The budget request includes $848 billion in the base budget (discretionary) funding and $113 billion in reconciliation (mandatory) funding. The reconciliation bill H.R. 1 passed the Senate and House, and was signed by the President on July 4, 2025. The bill provides more than $150 billion in mandatory funding (inclusive of the $113 billion) for DoD available until September 30, 2029. We anticipate the federal budget will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the new Administration and Congress, efficiency initiatives by the Department of Government Efficiency, the global security environment, inflationary pressures including tariffs and macroeconomic conditions.

Our international cash balances may be available for general corporate purposes but are subject to local restrictions, such as capital adequacy requirements and maintaining sufficient cash balances to support our U.K. pension plan and other obligations incurred in the normal course of business by those foreign entities. Repatriations of our undistributed foreign earnings are generally free of U.S. tax but may incur withholding and/or state taxes. We consider our future non-U.S. cash needs as 1) our anticipated foreign working capital requirements, including funding of our U.K. pension plan, 2) the expected growth opportunities across all geographical markets and 3) our plans to invest in strategic growth opportunities, which may include acquisitions, joint ventures and other business partnerships around the world, including whether foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. If management were to completely remove the indefinite investment assertion on all foreign subsidiaries, the exposure to local withholding taxes would be less than $10 million.

These components are impacted by the size and changes in the mix of our cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials projects versus fixed price projects, and as a result, fluctuations in these components are not uncommon in our business.

Current wording

During the six months ended July 4, 2025, cash flows increased primarily due to the resolution of an outstanding unapproved change order within our Mission Technology Solutions segment.

We have recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets a funding surplus of $95 million (calculated as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation as of April 4, 2025) for our frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The funding requirements for our U.K. pension plan are determined based on the U.K. Pensions Act 1995. Annual minimum funding requirements are based on a binding agreement with the Trustee of the U.K. pension plan that is negotiated on a triennial basis. This schedule of contributions will be reviewed by the Trustee and KBR no later than 15 months after the effective date of each actuarial valuation, due every three years. In 2024, the Trustee of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan commenced the triennial actuarial valuation of the plan. At this time, we do not anticipate contributing additional funding to this plan at least until the next triennial valuation. In the future, pension funding may increase or decrease depending on changes in the levels of interest rates, pension plan asset return performance and other factors. A significant increase in our funding requirements for the U.K. pension plan could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position.

U.K. pension obligation. We have recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets a funding surplus of $115 million (calculated as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation as of July 4, 2025) for our frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The funding requirements for our U.K. pension plan are determined based on the U.K. Pensions Act 1995. Annual minimum funding requirements are based on a binding agreement with the Trustee of the U.K. pension plan that is negotiated on a triennial basis. This schedule of contributions will be reviewed by the Trustee and KBR no later than 15 months after the effective date of each actuarial valuation, due every three years. In 2024, the Trustee of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan commenced the triennial actuarial valuation of the plan which was finalized during the three months ended July 4, 2025. At this time, we do not anticipate contributing additional funding to this plan at least until the next triennial valuation occurs. In the future, pension funding may increase or decrease depending on changes in the levels of interest rates, pension plan asset return performance and other factors. A significant increase in our funding requirements for the U.K. pension plan could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position.

Sales of Receivables. From time to time, we sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions under various accounts receivable monetization programs. One such program is with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”) under a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement, which provides the sale to MUFG of certain of our designated eligible receivables, with a significant portion of such receivables being owed by the U.S. government. We plan to continue to utilize these programs to ensure we have flexibility to meet our capital needs. Refer to Note 15 "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our sales of receivables.
