Competitor Assessment

KBR, Inc.– Financial Performance and Competitive Posture

KBR’s primary advantages lie in its highly-cleared employee base with deep domain expertise and full life cycle capabilities coupled to its investments in energy solutions, ammonia technology and plastics recycling, in combination with its proprietary process technology, expertise and solutions, customer relationships and a diverse portfolio of multi-year, mission critical programs. At any given time, government programs and joint ventures represent a substantial part of its operations.

Key customers include U.S. DoD agencies such as the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, Missile Defense Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office and other intelligence agencies; U.S. civilian agencies such as NASA, U.S. Geological Survey and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; the U.K. Ministry of Defence, London Metropolitan Police, and other U.K. Crown Services; the Royal Australian Air Force, Navy and Army; other national governments; and commercial and industrial companies.

Historic humanitarian efforts in connection with Operation Allies Welcome (OAW) amplified revenue and profit (the OAW program contributed $1.6 billion to KBR GS revenue in 2021) Although KBR experienced significantly reduced volume from the OAW program in 2022 compared to 2021, GS delivered increased profitability attributed to increased activity in 2022 to support exercises, training and other activities of the European Command and the acquisition of Frazer-Nash, and STS delivered significantly increased 2021 earnings growth.

The GS business landed new awards, including a $640 million ceiling, 5-year ground systems and mission operations contract to support more than 10 NASA missions, including continued efforts on the James Webb Space Telescope; a $229 million task order as a part of the Axiom team to build the next generation astronaut spacesuits to support the Artemis lunar missions as a part of NASA’s 10 year Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services (“xEVAS”) contract with a potential value of $3.5 billion across the life of the program; and a $4.8 billion ceiling multiple-award to the Xandar joint venture for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center to support research and development of new and existing hardware, systems and software capabilities enabling scientific and technical intelligence production through 2033.

The STS business landed $4.1 billion in bookings in 2022, including a proportionate share of Phase 1 of the Plaquemines LNG project and numerous projects across the ammonia landscape, including traditional, blue and green ammonia, multiple Hydro-PRT licenses and studies and other projects spanning carbon capture, utilization and storage, hydrogen, biofuels and renewables.

Revenues decreased by $775 million, or 11%, to $6.6 billion in 2022, compared to $7.3 billion in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced revenues of approximately $1.3 billion from the completion of contingency work associated with the OAW program in early 2022 that commenced in August 2021 and reduced activity in the Middle East associated with the U.S. DoD’s exit in early 2021. Additionally, the decrease was driven by the non-cash impact of efforts to continue winding down operations in Russia in 2022, and the completion of projects exited in 2020. This decrease was offset by increased activity in 2022 to support exercises, training and other activities of the European Command, the acquisition of Frazer-Nash in October 2021 and increased revenues in STS primarily from engineering and professional services and technology sales.

The $22 million increase in gross profit was primarily driven by increased activity in the European Command, as described above, and the acquisition of Frazer-Nash in October 2021. These increases were partially offset by decreased gross profit attributable to reduced volume in 2022 from OAW and reduced activity in the Middle East associated with the U.S. DoD’s exit in early 2021, as described above, and a net favorable resolution of legacy matters in the STS business in 2021 that did not recur in 2022.

The company primarily performs Cost-Reimbursement type contracts (81% of revenue ($12,955M)). Under cost-reimbursable contracts, the price is generally variable based upon actual allowable costs incurred for materials, equipment, reimbursable labor hours, overhead and G&A expenses. Profit on cost-reimbursable contracts may be in the form of a fixed fee or a mark-up applied to costs incurred, or a combination of the two. The fee may also be an incentive fee based on performance indicators, milestones or targets and can be based on customer discretion or in form of an award fee determined based on customer evaluation of the company’s performance against contractual criteria. Cost-reimbursable contracts may also provide for a guaranteed maximum price where the total fee plus the total cost cannot exceed an agreed upon guaranteed maximum price. Cost-reimbursable contracts are generally less risky because the customer retains many of the project risks, however they generally require the contractor to use its best efforts to accomplish the scope of the work within a specified time and budget. Cost-reimbursable contracts with the U.S. government are generally subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are competitively priced based on estimated or actual costs of providing the contractual goods or services. The FAR provides guidance on types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided to the U.S. government and its agencies. Pricing for non-U.S. government agencies and commercial customers is based on specific negotiations with each customer. Cost-Reimbursement type contracts typically perform at lower margins than other contract types in exchange for lower risk of loss. Cost-Reimbursement type contracts will likely continue to represent a majority of KBR’s business for calendar year 2023.

Performance of Time and Materials contracts is the source for 6% of KBR’s revenue ($0.926M). Time and Materials contracts typically provide for negotiated fixed hourly rates for specified categories of direct labor. The rates cover the cost of direct labor, indirect expense and fee. These contracts can also allow for reimbursement of cost of material plus a fee, if applicable. In U.S. government contracting, this type of contract is generally used when there is uncertainty of the extent or duration of the work to be performed by the contractor at the time of contract award or it is not possible to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence. With respect to Time and Materials contracts, the contractor assumes the price risk because its costs of performance may exceed negotiated hourly rates. In commercial and non-U.S. government contracting, this contract type is generally used for defined and non-defined scope contracts where there is a higher degree of uncertainty and risks as to the scope of work. These types of contracts may also provide for a guaranteed maximum price where the total cost plus the fee cannot exceed an agreed upon guaranteed maximum price or not-to-exceed provisions.

Fixed-Price type contracts contribute the remaining 13% of KBR’s revenue ($2,109M). Fixed-Price contracts include both lump-sum and unit-rate contracts. Under lump-sum contracts, KBR performs a defined scope of work for a specified fee to cover all costs and any profit element. Lump-sum contracts entail significant risk to the contractor because they require it to predetermine the work to be performed, the project execution schedule and all the costs associated with the scope of work. Unit-rate contracts are essentially Fixed-Price contracts with the only variable being units of work to be performed. Although Fixed-Price contracts involve greater risk than Cost-Reimbursement contracts, they also are potentially more profitable because the customer pays a premium to transfer project risks to the contractor.

The GS business segment also participates in Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts, such as the Aspire Defence and UKMFTS projects. PFIs are long-term contracts that outsource the responsibility for the construction, procurement, financing, operation and maintenance of government-owned assets to the private sector. These contracts may contain both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable elements. The PFI projects in which KBR participates are all located in the U.K. with contractual terms ranging from 15 to 35 years, and involve the provision of services to various types of assets ranging from acquisition and maintenance of major military equipment and housing to transportation infrastructure. Under most of these PFI contracts, the primary deliverables of the contracting entity are the initial construction or procurement of assets for the customer and the subsequent provision of lifecycle management services for the life of such assets. The amount of remuneration from the customer to the contracting entity is negotiated on each contract and varies depending on the specific terms for each PFI.

The unit exhibits a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 11.35% in prime contract actions over the last five years, with its most recent year indicating 34.7% increase.

KBR GS – Low Level Rate Derivation

ARDAK performed an independent bottom up analysis of the specific Fringe, Overhead, and G&A elements. The Low Level decompositions provide visibility into the individual cost elements that either yields a competitive advantage or identifies specific areas that may have to make up ground on prior to the application of unique and innovative pricing techniques.

KBR GS – Fee Analysis

ARDAK analyze actual prime contract award activity to estimate the fee structure through selecting prime contract awards of similar size and scope to the target opportunity which has sufficient detail to determine the contract man loading. Utilizing the wrap rate derivations previously performed, ARDAK calculated the fully burdened price with the residual value of the contract being the fee. ARDAK then calculated the operating margin and compare the operating margin to the calculated fee to validate the analysis. An exemplar for this task is shown below:

KBR GS– Summary

KBR GS delivers a wide range of professional services across defense, intelligence, space, aviation and other programs and missions for military and other government agencies, spanning research and development, advanced prototyping, acquisition support, systems engineering, C4ISR, cyber analytics, space domain awareness, test and evaluation, systems integration and program management, global supply chain management and operations readiness and support. These services are provided primarily to government agencies in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia under long-term programs with key technical, scientific or mission-specific differentiation. Key customers include U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) agencies such as the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, Missile Defense Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office and other intelligence agencies; U.S. civilian agencies such as NASA, U.S. Geological Survey and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; the U.K. Ministry of Defence (“MoD”), London Metropolitan Police, other U.K. Crown Services; the Royal Australian Air Force, Navy and Army; and other national governments. Areas of long-term strategic focus include defense modernization, space superiority and health and human performance.

The unit’s primary competitive strengths are its deep domain expertise resident across nationally recognized subject matter experts, a highly-cleared employee base, decades of enduring relationships with government and commercial client base with a diverse portfolio of multi-year, mission critical program performance under its low capital intensity business model.

Its business primarily stems from federal contracts to provide logistics support management services on a global basis under the U.S. Army Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP).

Revenue from the U.S. government accounted for approximately 84% ($6,149M), 76% ($4,055M) and 75% ($4,042M) of total KBR revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

KBR Government Solutions is broadly organized into four business units: Science & Space ($1,018M Revenues (17%)), Defense & Intel ($1,475M Revenues (24%)), Readiness & Sustainment ($2,644M Revenues (43%)) and International ($1,012M Revenues (16%)).

Government Solutions revenue earned most recently from non-U.S. government customers primarily includes the U.K. MoD and the Australian Defence Force (reported as International business unit).

U.S. government contracts, particularly with the Army and NASA, are expected to continue to be the primary source of revenue for the foreseeable future.

On March 15, 2022, President Biden signed into law the $1.5 trillion Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022, which includes $782 billion in defense spending, of which $742 billion is for the DoD, and $730 billion for non-defense discretionary spending, representing an increase from the fiscal 2021 budget of 6% and 7%, respectively. The fiscal 2022 U.S. defense spending budget prioritizes and furthers a national security strategy to confront near peer threats around the world, enhances the DoD’s cybersecurity strategy and cyber warfare capabilities, increases the priority of military space superiority, directs innovation to meet long-range emerging threats and continues the restoration of military readiness. The budget includes several measures to strengthen emerging technologies including cyber-science and technologies, artificial intelligence, directed energy, hypersonics and biotechnologies. The U.S. defense spending budget prioritizes initiatives outlined in the fiscal 2022 budget in addition to, among other things, increased support for the U.S. European Command. The, the fiscal 2022 defense budget includes $13.6 billion for military and humanitarian support for Ukraine.

The United Kingdom, Australia, and other allied governments are also prioritizing national security, cyber, and military space superiority as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The ongoing situation with Russia is benefitting KBR’s Defense & Intelligence business.

KBR GS’ key programs continue to be supported and funded. The non-defense discretionary budget includes $24 billion, or a 3% increase, in funding for NASA to support the continuation of scientific research and exploration as well as increased funding across all agencies to tackle climate change.

In early 2021, the U.S. announced a full withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. In connection with Operation Allies Welcome (“OAW”), KBR has been engaged by the U.S. DoD to provide humanitarian support across numerous military bases to those awaiting resettlement. Such support includes temporary housing, food service, medical care and other services. KBR GS expects this non-recurring OAW support to be substantially completed in early 2022.

Internationally, KBR Government Solutions work is performed primarily for the U.K. Ministry of Defence and the Australian Department of Defence. The U.K. government has committed a 14% increase in defense spending over the coming four years. Recognizing the importance of strong defense and the role the U.K. plays across the globe, the U.K. has prioritized investment in military research and investment in key areas to advance and develop capabilities around artificial intelligence, cyber security and space superiority.

The Australian government continues to invest in defense spending, with particular focus on enhancing regional security, modernizing defense capabilities, strengthening cyber defenses and promoting broader economic stability.

In November 2021, HomeSafe Alliance LLC (“HomeSafe”), a KBR led joint venture (KBR holds 72% equity interest in HomeSafe) with Tier One Relocation, was awarded the global household goods contract by U.S. Transportation Command. The contract ceiling value is $20 billion with a potential 9-year term, inclusive of all options periods. HomeSafe is expected to be the exclusive household goods move management service provider for the U.S. Armed Forces, Department of Defense civilians and their families. Under this contract, HomeSafe plans to modernize and infuse technology to improve the domestic and international relocation experience for all military personnel and their families.

KBR’s GS unit has been performing well (Gross Profit up 17%), due to optimized growth potential. KBR is witnessing higher revenues in the segment, given solid organic growth across each of its government businesses.

KBR generated revenues of $3.33 billion in the first half of 2022, up 11.1% from the year-ago period’s levels. The GS segment witnessed healthy growth across all four business units — Defense & Intel was up 0.4%, Science & Space rose 2.7%, Readiness & Sustainment increased 40.4% (all organic) and International grew 18.9% (Frazer-Nash in Australia being the main drivers).

The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in increased activity across KBR’s

Defense and Intel business. Revenue has grown compared to the same period last year primarily attributable to increased activity in 2022 in the European Command related to the war in Ukraine. This should act as a favorable market tailwind for KBR in building its order pipeline and strengthening its backlog orders.

Total backlog exhibits a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.21% over a 5 year period. As of December 31, 2021, $9.5B (approximately 75%) of the Government Solutions $12.628B backlog was currently funded by customers.

The United States and NATO have ramped up their support to Ukraine by providing major weapon systems, in addition to the munitions and supplies they have been providing from the beginning of the conflict. These systems (artillery, anti-aircraft weapons and tracked vehicles) will enhance Ukrainian capabilities for fighting and counteroffensive measures. The maintenance and training demands of these particular systems, which the Ukrainian military has never used before, will overwhelm Ukraine’s ability to cope. The next step in U.S. aid likely will be, to provide battlefield contractors in Ukraine to maintain these systems and train Ukrainians on their use.

These battlefield contractors (or operational contractor support, as the Department of Defense formally refers to the activities) perform the “process of planning for and obtaining supplies, services, and construction from commercial sources in support of combatant commandant-directed operations.” Unlike contractors who work on bases or in factories, these contractors go into conflict zones to conduct a wide variety of services from training to maintenance to translation to security.

Battlefield contractors are attractive in Ukraine because they do not contravene President Biden’s direction that U.S. service members will not enter Ukraine. This also avoids a red line that Putin has established.

If the United States shies away from direct involvement, then Ukraine could structure this support under its own auspices (with the United States providing funding). Thus, Ukraine could set up its own military services company and hire foreigners to work as technicians. The employees would not be combatants and would likely operate in rear echelons to avoid legal problems.

The use of operational contractor support such as KBR in Ukraine has several beneficial aspects. It strengthens Ukrainian military capabilities by helping to field well-maintained and expertly operated systems. It avoids the loss of combat power arising from equipment being sidelined due to a lack of operators or maintenance. It meets the popular demand to do more to help Ukraine without taking the step of putting boots on the ground with all the risks that entails.

With defense and civil budgets driven in part by political instability, military conflicts, aging platforms and infrastructure and the need for technology advances, KBR will have continued opportunities to provide solutions and technologies to mission critical work aligned with its customers’ and our nation’s critical priorities. The increased funding for Defense and NASA along with the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine are seen as beneficial for the company and bodes well upon future performance.
