// THIS YEAR AT FLUOR
In 2022, we transitioned from a traditional
annual report that focuses on financial
performance to that of an integrated report
that seeks to provide a balanced account
of Fluor's financial and non-financial
objectives and results. This approach better
aligns to our internal decision-making
and integrated management processes.
We believe this provides all of our
stakeholders with a more holistic overview
of our performance and key milestones.
// CHAIRMAN AND CEO
REFLECTIONS
A FUTURE-FIT FLUOR
Dear stakeholders,
Our 2022 fiscal year required
the collective resilience
and focus of each member
of the global Fluor team.
Despite a prolonged pandemic,
geopolitical uncertainty,
energy price volatility, higher
inflation and supply chain
disruptions, we persevered
in adding value for all
our stakeholders.

DELIVERING ON OUR STRATEGY
For Fluor, the macroenvironment volatility and
the socioeconomic realities brought into sharp
focus the need for us to continue to deliver on
our ‘building a better future’ strategy. In 2021,
we laid the foundations of our strategy reset
and business turnaround and the need to be a
forward-focused organization — one that responds
with agility and purpose to the fluctuations in our
global and regional operating contexts. Our growth
trajectory is driven by four strategic priorities:
We foster a high-performance culture
with purpose by advancing our
diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I)
efforts, promoting social progress,
advancing sustainability and delivering
execution excellence.
We drive growth across our portfolio by
expanding into markets outside of the
traditional oil and gas sector, including
energy transition and chemicals, critical
minerals, life sciences, advanced
technology, digitalization, government
services and infrastructure.
We pursue contracts with fair and
balanced terms that are risk-adjusted
and reward Fluor for value.
We reinforce financial discipline by
maintaining a strong cash position
and by generating predictable cash
flow and earnings.
Our future-fit approach
‘Future-fit’ is a recognized concept that balances
people, profit and planet (commonly referred to as the
triple bottom line) in all decision-making. Within Fluor,
‘future-fit’ describes:
• how our decision-making within the organization
is informed by both financial and non-financial
considerations;
• our forward-focus of setting the organization up
for its long-term, future success and creates
stakeholder value; and
• our holistic approach to considering all aspects of
the company and its societal impact in a consistent
and integrated manner, taking into account two
additional elements of partnerships and projects.
THE KEY ELEMENTS THAT
INFORM OUR COORDINATED
DECISION-MAKING AND WAY
OF DOING BUSINESS
People (our employees, their safety and
wellbeing, and an inclusive culture)
Profit (our financial performance and
business resilience)
Partnerships (our supply chain, business
partner and community relationships)
Projects (our safety culture and our
commitment to our clients)
Planet (our sustainable solutions to
protect the environment)
Our strategic intent
Our strategy and its four priorities are further
underpinned by our strategic intent to be the preeminent
leader in professional and technical solutions while
maintaining our global leadership in the engineering
and construction industry. Delivering on our strategic
priorities creates long-term value for our stakeholders.
This moves us closer to being a trusted advisor to our
clients, being the industry’s employer of choice,
making Fluor an attractive investment proposition and
providing a positive impact on society.
On behalf of Fluor Corporation, I am pleased to present
our inaugural integrated report. As the name suggests,
an integrated report provides our stakeholders with both
our financial and non-financial performance metrics
for our 2022 financial year in a single document. While
our traditional annual reports were focused on our
shareholders and investors, this integrated report aims
to address the interests of our entire stakeholder base
that includes our employees, clients, communities and
society at large.
3
2022 INTEGRATED REPORT03 | FORM 10-K02 | STRATEGY PROGRESS01 | OVERVIEWOur financial and non-financial performance
Our strong organizational results for 2022, summarized
in the integrated performance infographic in this report,
are indicative of the strength, relevance and resilience
of our ‘building a better future’ strategy.
Our new awards for the year totaled $19.8 billion,
nearly double from a year ago, which contributed to
a 25% increase in ending backlog of $26.0 billion.
This is an important inflection point for our company
and sets us up for solid growth in 2023 and beyond.
I am also pleased with the progress we have made on
multiple other fronts, including:
• Elevating our employees’ overall wellbeing with a
holistic approach that focuses on mental health by
promoting empathy and our Safer Together culture to
encourage employees to care for one another. As an
example, in early September, as an organization and a
Fluor community, we participated in STAND UP
for Suicide Prevention campaigns.
• Expanding into a spectrum of energy transition
markets such as renewable fuels, clean power,
critical minerals, battery chemicals and other carbon
reduction opportunities. This growth has been
accomplished while fundamentally de-risking the
portfolio through a disciplined pursuit of contracts
that appropriately distribute risk.
• Advancing our Net Zero 2023 commitment by
implementing a variety of emission-reduction
initiatives across the company. In addition, to offset
current emissions, we invested in the Rimba Raya
Biodiversity Reserve Project, which serves to
protect peat swamp forests in Indonesia from
being converted to palm oil plantations.
• Pivoting to our fair and balanced contract model
and pursuing higher margins for our technical talent.
I am also encouraged by the response of our clients,
who value our role and recognize the challenges
involved in executing their highly complex projects.
• Taking strides in promoting a diverse and inclusive
culture where people are engaged and feel they belong.
We have established Inclusion Councils and Employee
Resource Groups across the globe to advance
opportunities and promote equity. Our growth
trajectory is underpinned by a DE&I focus as we hired
70% more people in 2022 when compared to 2021.
• Revitalizing our capital structure by continuing to
reduce debt with a net debt-to-capitalization ratio at
less than 35% versus our strategic goal of 20% to 40%.
Currently, we are the majority investor in NuScale,
a now public small modular reactor company that
provides safe, reliable and carbon-free energy. Looking
ahead, we intend to further monetize our interest in
NuScale to enhance our capital structure.
The above highlights are covered in more detail
on pages 16 to 31 of this report.
WHEN CRISES OCCUR,
FLUOR RESPONDS.
Through the generosity of our employees and
the Fluor Foundation, we provided support to
Ukrainians — both inside and outside of the
country — including helping with temporary
shelter, food, and emergency and medical supplies.
We supported the U.S. government’s Operation
Allies Welcome in which we assisted with the
resettlement of more than 7,100 Afghan evacuees
in the United States, in a matter of weeks. Taking
into account cultural considerations, we helped
with establishing mosques, preparing halal
meals, offering English classes and building
recreational facilities.
Additionally, in 2022, we supported our communities
by contributing more than $7.6 million to
community programs, while our Fluor employees
volunteered nearly 22,500 hours to local
initiatives, a 94% increase versus 2021.
As a testament to our purpose to build a better
world, stepping in to help others and to strengthen
the communities around us is part of Fluor's DNA.

FLUOR CORPORATION
OUR 2022 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
HIGHLIGHTS
During the year, we regained the trust of our
stakeholders, as we reduced our debt, de-risked
our backlog and restored confidence in our balance
sheet. The following summarizes a few of our key
financial highlights.
• Doubled new awards as compared to 2021 with a
book-to-burn ratio of 146% (2021: 76%).
• Maintained a steady cash balance of $2.6 billion
(including NuScale cash) (2021: $2.33 billion).
• Reduced our debt by $597 million over the last two
years and have lowered our net debt-to-capitalization
ratio from 55% to less than 35%, meeting our strategic
goal of 20% to 40%.
• Realized cost optimization results with $110 million
(2021: $52 million) in run-rate savings achieved.
• Secured an improved credit rating.
My personal appreciation
Achieving the progress we have made, in some instances
well ahead of plan and in other instances despite the
challenging operating environment, is only possible
through the work of our global team. Throughout this
report, our Fluor Management Team (FMT) showcase
the strides taken by their teams across a range of
noteworthy projects, programs and initiatives under
each of our four strategic priorities. To the entire Fluor
team, thank you for your dedication and commitment
to the company and our stakeholders. I would also like
to commend our FMT for their leadership during our
strategy reset and business turnaround, which served
to strengthen our relationships with our stakeholders
when they were most critical.
I wish to express my deep gratitude to our board
of directors, whose experience and support are
immeasurable. Open dialogue and robust debate are
invaluable attributes for a board and a critical part of how
we create stakeholder value. Thank you for your time,
Through our many
achievements, community
outreach, and solid
financial and
non-financial
performance, we
have demonstrated
our resilience,
continued our
upward trajectory and
remained steadfast in
taking action today to
be a future-fit Fluor.

In delivering on our reset strategy and with a

their customer demands and broader societal needs.
And our clients trust us to partner with them to
deploy their capital and build a better world.

have been honed in recent years,

The infographic summarizes the key components of our strategy, which is enabling us to deliver on our
business turnaround and growth plans.
Our purpose and core values
Our purpose of building a better world and our core values of safety, integrity, teamwork and excellence lie at the center
of our strategy. Please refer to page 8 for more details on our purpose and core values.
Our future-fit decision-making approach
While we have been thinking and working in an integrated manner for several years and have always adopted a future-fit
approach to our decision-making, in February 2023, we began to explicitly highlight the five Ps we consider in our
day-to-day decisions:
People
Our employees, their
safety and wellbeing, and
an inclusive culture
Profit
Our financial
performance and
business resilience
Partnerships
Our supply chain,
business partner and
community relationships
Projects
Our safety culture
and our commitment
to our clients
Planet
Our sustainable
solutions to protect
the environment
These elements inform the actions we take under each of our strategic priorities and the choices we make.
Our strategic priorities
To help us adequately respond to the megatrends most relevant to us, we formulated four strategic priorities to create
value for our stakeholders:
Foster a high-performance culture with purpose by
advancing our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts;
promoting social progress; advancing sustainability;
and delivering execution excellence.
Drive growth across our portfolio by expanding
into markets outside of the traditional oil and gas
sector, including energy transition and chemicals,
critical minerals, life sciences, advanced technology,
digitalization, government services and infrastructure.
Pursue contracts with fair and balanced
terms that are risk-adjusted and reward
Fluor for value.
Reinforce financial discipline by maintaining
a strong cash position and by generating
predictable cash flow and earnings.

BUILDING A HIGH-PERFORMANCE
CULTURE WITH PURPOSE
Our culture and aspirational goals
The most enduring aspect of Fluor’s legacy is the
culture we have built together over our 110-year history.
Fostering a high-performance culture with purpose
supports our company’s ability to continually evolve.
Our longstanding commitment to sustainability is
deeply rooted in our culture. This future-fit approach
is brought to life through the choices and investments
we make daily. This includes our commitment to the
safety, engagement and wellbeing of our employees,
contractors and partners; getting paid for the value we
provide; building relationships; and the solutions we
deliver for our clients.

Our safety and wellbeing focus
Our Safer Together mindset means we care for one
another while promoting preventive safety practices
that encourage proactive action by engaged employees.
In 2022, we enhanced several leading indicator
programs, which enabled us to identify and correct
issues before incidents occurred. This included a new
digital process for conducting employee perception
surveys to make it easier to identify trends and
opportunities for improvement. We also automated
the assignment of health, safety and environment
(HSE) training based on job titles to ensure employees
have the knowledge and skills they need to make
safe decisions in the field.
OUR KEY SAFETY AND WELLBEING
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR
Three employees from the Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth
site received Fluor's Silver Medallion of Safety
Award after seeking medical attention for an
unwell colleague. This award was established in
1992 to recognize employees who embody our
vital commitment to protecting one another.

Execution excellence
Quality delivery is part of the Fluor promise. Our quality practices and procedures all work together to improve execution
excellence. Delivering projects safely and in accordance with the contract is what we strive to do, so it is unsurprising
that ‘excellence’ is one of our core values. This value reinforces how our high-performance teams embrace opportunities,
seek solutions and strive to continuously improve.
This year, we continued our ‘lean’ journey, enabling our projects and functions to optimize the entire value chain and
enhance the quality of our work throughout the design, procurement and construction phases. Lean thinking is
about eliminating waste and working more efficiently to enable our business partners to improve capital efficiency and
sustainability. Effectively implemented, lean management practices result in increased efficiency, enhanced morale
and greater productivity. Importantly, it also fosters a culture of openness and transparency and encourages continuous
learning and improvement.

Our projects with purpose
In 2022, Fluor was awarded a U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) $4.5 billion extension for the Fluor-
led Savannah River Site management and operating
contract. The extension evidences the DOE’s confidence
in our performance to help safeguard national
security and focus on the safety and security of our
workers, protecting the surrounding communities
and the environment.
Our Mission Solutions team also supported the U.S.
Air Force in upgrading the only runway on Ascension
Island, located approximately 1,400 miles off the coast
of South America and 1,000 miles from Africa. There
were many construction challenges in such a remote
location, but Fluor’s global supply chain, logistics and
environmental-protection experience were instrumental
in executing this program.
“Our commitment to quality
is something we take very
seriously. Not only because
our government clients
demand it, but because our
reputation in this market
is built on operational
excellence.”

// STRATEGIC PRIORIT Y 3
PURSUING FAIR AND
BALANCED CONTRACT TERMS
Partnering for better outcomes
Recent history has shown that the allocation of project
risks across our industry and the sectors we serve are
not sustainable. As a start, contractors were taking on
risks for factors outside of their control and for which
they were ill-equipped to manage and mitigate. As a
result, substantial project losses became common
occurrences, weakening the contractor community.
Clients also suffered from decreased competition on
new contracts at the procurement and award stage,
which often resulted in inflated costs and schedule
delays due to inefficiencies and commercial disputes.
By promoting fair and balanced contract terms,
we are taking an important step in supporting a
sustainable future for all our stakeholders who form
part of the project value chain, from our clients to
our subcontractors and from our employees to our
shareholders. A healthy backlog supports project
execution, creates consistent opportunities for
our subcontractors and employees, and ensures
predictability in earnings for our shareholders
and investors.

A robust portfolio of projects
At the beginning of 2022, our backlog mix was 59%
fixed price versus 41% reimbursable. By the end of
2022, that mix had shifted to 63% reimbursable.
Additionally, margins have remained healthy as clients
recognize the value, expertise and track record that
Fluor brings to their projects.
Our success stories showcase how we work together
with our clients to agree to commercial terms whereby
risks are addressed jointly and distributed fairly among
the contracting parties. In this way, the project is
also more efficiently managed from both a cost and
schedule perspective.

REINFORCING FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE
Importance of financial discipline
We continued to advance our strategic priority of
reinforcing financial discipline. We understand the
importance of maintaining a strong cash position and
the benefits of generating predictable cash flow and
market-leading returns. Our financial discipline will
allow us to increase investment in our employees and
support growth in our end markets for years to come.

Delivering strong profits and maintaining
a healthy capital structure
In 2022, Fluor Corporation reported revenue of $13.7
billion and a net income from continuing operations of
$145 million, or $0.73 per diluted share. Consolidated
segment profit for the year was $427 million compared
to $415 million in 2021.
Our stable performance can be attributed to:
• strong new awards – a majority of which are
reimbursable;
• a continued focus on reducing unnecessary costs; and
• the solid execution of existing backlog.
During the year, we were able to maintain our cash
position and ended the year with a cash balance of
$2.6 billion (2021: $2.3 billion) (including NuScale cash).
We reduced our debt by $597 million over the
last two years and have lowered our net debt-to-
capitalization ratio from 55% in 2021 to less than
35%, meeting our strategic goal of 20% to 40%.
We will further reduce leverage when the January
2023 retirement of our outstanding European
Notes is reflected.
"One way that we support our capital structure
is to take a disciplined approach in selecting
the projects that fit our risk profile and teaming
with partners where we have a deep relationship
of success. Strong relationships with our joint-
venture partners and clients that are based on
transparency and trust are the foundation of
successful projects. Working together toward a
common goal usually leads to positive outcomes.”

NuScale divestment
As part of our divestment strategy, an important
milestone was our reverse recapitalization of our
NuScale Power business in May 2022. NuScale
is now public and trades on the New York Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol “SMR”. It is
the world’s first and only publicly traded provider
of transformational carbon-free, small, modular
nuclear reactor technology. This is the only
Nuclear Regulatory Commission-approved
SMR technology. As a majority shareholder,
we anticipate this investment will be accretive
to Fluor shareholders through future
monetization and engineering contracts to
support NuScale’s clients.
Toward a more future-fit organization
We also exceeded our goal to reduce our
overhead costs by $100 million by 2024.
By the end of 2022, we realized overhead
savings of $110 million through a range of
internal initiatives. These programs, started
in 2021, drive financial discipline across our
organization and capture savings that can
be used to accelerate growth in the end
markets we serve and improve our
competitive positioning.
“Our shareholders are the most
vocal supporters of our capital
strategy. They understand the need
for a solid financial footing that can
withstand global economic volatility
and ensure we remain future-fit.
We have made great progress in
ensuring financial discipline and
restoring our capital structure, and
these steps have, once again, made
us an investable value proposition.”

2022 INTEGRATED REPORT// OUR FUTURE-FIT OUTLOOK
Our journey over the past two years has been guided by our ‘building a better future’ strategy and our
strategic priorities. Importantly, our strategy is underpinned by the megatrends identified in 2021 that
remain just as relevant today. In this section of the report, we outline the megatrends we see as being
the key drivers of our financial and non-financial performance in 2023 and beyond.
INDUSTRY 4.0
MEGATREND
Industry 4.0 refers to technological innovation that is connecting the physical, digital and biological worlds.
This includes groundbreaking innovations and increased connectivity to create new opportunities. Our clients
are looking for solutions to these challenges, and Fluor has the expertise to help. The list below summarizes
our view of the impact of this megatrend and our unique value proposition to our clients and society at large.
• In the future, we see clients utilizing innovation
hubs to reimagine how to deliver new, sustainable
products to consumers. Our ability to manage the
delivery supply chain on a global scale sets us apart.
• In life sciences, the advancement of medicine,
gene therapy and individualized therapeutics
requires ongoing strong investment in research and
development leading to regulatory approvals and
increased demand for drug product capacity. We are
working with clients to produce new, innovative
pharmaceuticals and biologics that cure and help
prevent disease.
• Important for the functionality of the Internet of
Things, we are helping companies expand their
production of state-of-the-art semiconductors that
support connectivity. Our advanced technologies
and advanced manufacturing teams are working
with some of the industry’s leading producers of
semiconductors for their future investments, both
domestically and abroad.
• Ready access to information is the way of the future,
and our clients are looking to take the next steps
in digitalization in connecting data to decision-
makers in an integrated way. Fluor is progressing a
plan for digitalization that will bridge the gap in data
management and utilization for our clients.
"We understand the value of effective data management
and the critical role that digitalization can play in
improving project execution. From project setup,
estimating, scheduling and planning to design and even
change management, Fluor has invested in the tools
to securely support the efficient use of data to connect
key information to decision-makers. And thus adding value by
providing security and improved project performance
for our clients."

BEYOND GLOBALIZ ATION
MEGATREND
Beyond globalization is a trend through which we expect countries and companies
to diversify their supply chains to build resilience and security.
• Supply chain challenges in the face of geopolitical uncertainty are pushing
companies into ‘nearshoring’ or ‘friend-shoring’ their supply chains. Fluor can
support our clients as they reshape their global supply chains to fit into this
new global order.
• We also expect to see a growing focus on national security and increasing
opportunities for our government business, providing mission-critical support to
the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and to the intelligence community. Fluor’s
Mission Solutions business has been effectively serving the DoD, Department of
Energy (DoE) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to support
critical national and humanitarian missions.

ENERGY TRANSITION AND URBANIZ ATION
MEGATREND
The energy transition and urbanization trend suggests that as the world becomes more populated, urbanized
and prosperous, the demand for clean energy that is abundant and affordable will increase. Looking forward,
our clients are seeking professional and technical expertise to bring their ideas to reality.
• Clients will explore decarbonization opportunities
through electrification of their facilities, and the
popularity of electric vehicles will continue to rise.
• In the mining sector, we are trusted partners to
help secure precious commodities necessary
for electrification such as copper, nickel, lithium
and iron ore.
• Within the chemicals industry, we are focused
on battery chemicals and supporting the
production of lithium oxide, which is a precursor
to battery production.
• The world will continue to look for abundant and
affordable clean energy. We strongly support the
future of carbon-free power to produce clean
energy from small modular nuclear reactors.
• Carbon reduction efforts are starting to take hold
in Europe and in North America, with government
policy potentially making carbon reduction more
economically viable through funding and credits.
We are designing projects to implement Fluor’s
proprietary carbon-capture technology to support
carbon reduction at a large scale.
• The demand for renewable fuels sources will increase.
We are already leaders in biofuels, helping clients
convert existing oil-refining capacity to process
vegetable oils and other sustainable feedstock into
transportation and green sustainable fuels.
• Clients are continuing to push the boundaries
of what is possible with hydrogen, and we are
supporting our clients’ endeavors to produce
carbon-free gases as a fuel for clean-energy
systems. We have the technical skills to take
concepts and scale up to full commercial operations.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
MEGATREND
The focus on stakeholder engagement recognizes
society’s growing expectations for companies to consider
environmental, social and governance factors in their
strategies and decision-making.
• This means increased transparency in disclosure and action to
demonstrate progress in environmental, social and governance
areas. Our future-fit approach considers people, profit, projects,
partnerships and the planet. These five Ps account for all
stakeholders and are inherent in our company DNA.
• Our clients will continue to seek innovation and capital
efficiency. We aspire to be trusted advisors by delivering
professional and technical solutions to clients.
• We see a rise in the competition for talent, with the demands
of tomorrow’s workforce also increasing. We are committed
to being the employer of choice, with industry best practices
relating to human capital advancement and development, and
promoting employee engagement, wellbeing and retention.
• Our shareholders and investors continue to seek healthy,
reliable and predictable earnings. We, in turn, are de-risking
our portfolio, further increasing Fluor as a value proposition
for investment.
• We strive to fulfill our purpose, to build a better world.
Our actions will continue to make a positive societal impact
in the communities where we live and operate.

Forward-Looking Information
From time to time, we make certain comments and disclosures in reports and statements, including this 2022 10-K, or
statements are made by its officers or directors, that, while based on reasonable assumptions, may be forward-looking in
nature. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, a "safe harbor" may be provided to us for certain of these
forward-looking statements. We caution readers that forward-looking statements, including disclosures which use words such
as "will, "may," "could," "should" "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "estimates," "projects," "potential,"
"continue" and similar statements are subject to various future risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results of
operations to differ materially from expectations.
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
and other events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
We are subject to known risks and to potentially unknown risks. While most risks affect only future cost or revenue
anticipated by us, some risks may relate to accruals that have already been reflected in earnings. Our failure to receive
payments of expected amounts or the incurrence of liabilities in excess of amounts recorded, could result in charges against
future earnings. As a result, we caution readers to recognize and consider the inherently uncertain nature of forward-looking
statements and not to place undue reliance on them.
These factors include those referenced or described in this 2022 10-K (including in "Item 1A. — Risk Factors"). We

Item 1. Business
PART I
Fluor is building a better world by applying world-class expertise in order to solve our clients' greatest challenges. We
provide professional and technical solutions that deliver safe, well-executed, capital-efficient projects to clients around the
globe. Fluor Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in September 2000. However, through our predecessors, we have
been in business for more than 110 years, providing services that are the essential building blocks of development and
progress.
Acting through our many subsidiaries and interests in joint ventures, we are one of the larger global professional
services firms providing EPC, fabrication and modularization, and project management services. We provide these services to
our clients in a diverse set of industries worldwide including advanced technologies and manufacturing, chemicals,
infrastructure, life sciences, LNG, mining and metals, nuclear project services, and oil and gas production and fuels. We are
also a service provider to the U.S. federal government and governments abroad.
We operate our business through four segments: Energy Solutions, Urban Solutions, Mission Solutions and Other.
Strategic Priorities
Since January 2021, we have been guided by four strategic priorities for driving value creation for our shareholders:
•
•
•
•
Drive growth across our portfolio, by growing markets outside of the traditional oil and gas sector, including
energy transition, advanced technology and life sciences, high-demand metals, infrastructure and nuclear and civil,
defense and intelligence for governments;
Pursue contracts with fair and balanced commercial terms, focusing on more favorable, risk-adjusted agreements
that reward Fluor for value;
Reinforce financial discipline, maintaining a solid balance sheet by generating predictable cash flow and earnings;
and
Foster a high-performance culture with purpose, by advancing our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and
promoting social progress and sustainability. Importantly, this also means excellence in execution, which brings
value to all our stakeholders.
In 2022, we continued to make progress on our strategic priorities. 67% of our new awards in 2022 were from outside of
our traditional oil and gas markets. As of December 31, 2022, 63% of our backlog is reimbursable. In February 2022, we
renewed and expanded our credit facility, and since 2021 we have redeemed $550 million of our outstanding 2023 and 2024
Notes in open market transactions. For further information on these transactions, please see the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
In addition, in the second quarter of 2022, NuScale, in which we are the majority investor, became a public company
(NYSE ticker:SMR) through a reverse recapitalization with a public shell company. We remain a majority owner of NuScale and
are considering the appropriate time and approach to monetize our investment.
Our Core Values
Our Core Values serve as our behavioral compass, guiding all of our actions. They are not only what we believe, they are
the foundation of how we achieve our purpose to build a better world.

As a world-class provider of technical and professional services, we believe that we bring capital efficient business
solutions to our clients. We believe that our business advantages and global positioning provide us with significant
competitive strengths, including:
3
Safety. Maintaining a safe and secure workplace is a key business driver for us and our clients. In our experience,
whether in an office or at a jobsite, a safe environment decreases risks, provides for the well-being of all workers, enhances
morale, improves productivity, reduces project cost and generally improves client relations. We believe that our commitment
to safety is one of our most distinguishing features.
Global Execution Platform. As one of the larger publicly traded EPC companies, we have a global footprint with
employees located throughout the world. Our global presence enables us to build local relationships to capitalize on
opportunities as well as mobilize quickly to project sites around the world and to draw on our local knowledge and talent
pools. We continue to form strategic alliances with local partners, leverage our supply chain expertise and emphasize local
training programs. We also provide services from our distributed execution centers on a cost-efficient basis.
Excellence in Execution. We believe that our ability to execute, maintain and manage complex projects, large or small
and often in geographically challenging locations, gives us a distinct competitive advantage. We strive to complete our
projects meeting or exceeding all client specifications. We have continued to shift toward data-driven execution, which we
expect will enhance our ability to meet our clients' needs.
Market Diversity. We serve multiple markets across a broad spectrum of industries around the globe. Our market
diversity helps to mitigate the impact of the cyclicality in the markets we serve and allows us to strive for more consistent
growth. We believe that maintaining a good mixture within our entire business portfolio permits us to both focus on our more
stable business markets and to capitalize on cyclical markets when the timing is appropriate.
Client Relationships. We actively pursue relationships with new clients while also building on our long-term
relationships with existing clients. We believe that long-term relationships with existing clients serve us well by allowing us to
better understand and be more responsive to their requirements. Regardless of whether our clients are new or have been
with us for many decades, our ability to successfully foster relationships is a key strength.
Risk Management. We believe we have the ability to assess, mitigate and manage project risk, especially in difficult
locations or circumstances. We have an experienced management team, and utilize a systematic and disciplined approach
towards identifying, assessing and managing risks. We believe that our risk management approach helps us control costs and
meet clients' schedules.
Sustainability. Our sustainability charter is to conduct business in a socially, economically and environmentally
responsible manner. Sustainability is integrated into our business practices, and our employees are engaged in delivery on our
charter. Our strong, socially responsible corporate identity enables us to build and sustain the global community and provide
value for our stakeholders.
General Operations
Our services fall into six broad categories (outlined below). Our services can range from basic consulting activities, often
at the early stages of a project, to complete design-build, operations and maintenance contracts.
•
•
•
In engineering and design, we develop solutions to address our clients’ most complex problems. Our engineering
services range from traditional engineering disciplines such as piping, mechanical, electrical, control systems, civil,
structural and architectural to advanced engineering specialties including process engineering, chemical
engineering, simulation, integrated automation processes and interactive 3-D modeling. Through our design
solutions, we can provide clients with varied offerings which can include front-end engineering, conceptual design,
estimating, feasibility studies, permitting, process simulation, technology and licensing evaluation, scope definition
and siting.
Project management involves managing all aspects of the effort to deliver projects on schedule and within budget,
and is critical on every project. We are often hired as the overall program manager on large complex projects
where various contractors and subcontractors are involved and multiple activities need to be integrated to ensure
the success of the overall project. Our services include logistics, development of project execution plans, detailed
schedules, cost forecasts, progress tracking and reporting, and the integration of EPC efforts. Project management
is accountable to the client to deliver the safety, functionality and financial performance requirements of the
project.
Our procurement offerings include procurement and supply chain solutions aimed at improving product quality
and performance while also reducing project cost and schedule. Our clients draw upon our global sourcing and
supply expertise, global purchasing power, technical knowledge, processes, systems and experienced global
resources. Our procurement activities include strategic sourcing, material management, contracts management,
buying, expediting, supplier quality inspection and logistics.
4
• We offer operations and maintenance services intended to improve the performance and extend the life of our
clients’ facilities. This may include the delivery of services to include facility management, technical facility
operations, plant readiness, commissioning, start-up and maintenance technology, small capital projects,
turnaround and outage services and recapitalization of facilities and infrastructure. Among other things, we can
provide key management, staffing and management skills to clients on-site at their facilities. These activities also
include routine and outage/turnaround maintenance services, general maintenance and asset management,
emissions reduction technologies and services, and restorative, repair, predictive and prevention services.
•
In construction, we mobilize, execute and commission projects on a self-perform and subcontracted basis.
Generally, we are responsible for the completion of a project, often in difficult locations and under challenging
circumstances. We are frequently designated as program manager, and serve as such in cases where the client has
facilities in multiple locations, complex phases in a single project location, or a large-scale investment in one
facility.
• We also provide a variety of fabrication and modularization services, including integrated engineering and modular
fabrication and assembly, as well as modular construction and asset support services to clients around the globe
from our joint venture yards. By leveraging internal and third-party yards in key regions of the world, we help our
clients achieve cost and schedule savings by reducing on-site craft needs and shifting work to inherently safer and
more controlled work environments.
Business Segments
Energy Solutions
We are a partner in the production of safer, cleaner and sustainable solutions to meet the world's increasing energy and
chemicals demand. Our Energy Solutions segment provides EPC services for the production and fuels, chemicals, LNG and
nuclear project services markets. We focus on the energy transition markets, including asset decarbonization, carbon
capture, renewable fuels, waste-to-energy, green chemicals, hydrogen, nuclear power and other low-carbon energy sources.
At the same time, we continue to serve the oil, gas and chemical industries with full project life-cycle services, including
expansion and modernization projects as well as in sustaining capital work.
While we perform work on projects that range greatly in size and scope, we believe that one of our distinguishing
features is our global strength and experience to perform very large projects in difficult locations. As energy and chemicals
projects have become more challenging geographically, geopolitically or otherwise, we believe that clients will continue to
look to us to manage their complex projects based on our size, strength, global reach, experience, technical expertise and
proven track record.
Our role can vary with each specific project. We may be involved in providing front-end engineering, program
management and final design services, construction management services, self-perform construction, or oversight of other
contractors, and we may also assume responsibility for the procurement of materials, equipment and subcontractors. We
have the capacity to design, fabricate and construct new facilities, upgrade, modernize and expand existing facilities, and
rebuild facilities following fires and explosions. We also provide consulting services ranging from feasibility studies to process
assessments to project finance structuring.
In production and fuels, we execute projects for the oil and gas production, processing and refining industries, including
an increasing component of energy transition. In the upstream sector, our typical projects involve the production, processing
and transporting of oil and gas, including the development of infrastructure associated with major new fields and pipelines.
We are also involved in offshore production facilities and in gas processing projects. In the downstream sector, our clients
have been modernizing and modifying existing refineries to increase capacity, improve margins and enhance environmental
performance. We are active in the repurposing of existing refining facilities for the production of renewable fuels. We are also
focused on other transition markets, such as carbon capture and sequestration, blue and green hydrogen, ammonia and other
low carbon solutions, as an increasing number of clients and countries implement stronger sustainable energy goals.
We have been very active for several decades in the chemicals and petrochemicals market, with major projects in the
ethylene-based markets as well as in a variety of specialty chemicals. We are also active in battery chemicals projects and we
are engaging with clients on implementing lower carbon solutions on their existing and new facilities.
We have participated in a wide variety of LNG developments, including liquefaction, floating LNG facilities, mid-scale
LNG solutions and regasification terminals. Our work in LNG has included feasibility studies, technology evaluations, process
equipment optimization and selection, basic design, front-end engineering and design, detailed EPC and start-up assistance.
5
In the nuclear project services market, we provide a full range of services for projects utilizing small modular reactor
technologies, as well as conventional and advanced reactor technologies. Through our relationship with NuScale, we can offer
a complete project solution for carbon free power by utilizing NuScale's proprietary SMR technology, a market that is gaining
momentum with the push to more carbon free energy sources.
Urban Solutions
We believe that urbanization will drive demand for innovative and sustainable solutions in advanced technologies and
manufacturing, life sciences, mining and metals, infrastructure and professional staffing project teams. Urban Solutions
includes businesses to service clients addressing these evolving and growing markets.
For the advanced technologies and manufacturing market, we provide program management and EPC services to a
wide variety of companies on a global basis. Our experience spans a wide variety of market segments, including advanced
materials, data centers, fast-moving consumer goods, food and beverage, semiconductors, smart batteries and specialty
products. We specialize in designing projects that incorporate lean manufacturing concepts while also satisfying client
sustainability goals.
In life sciences, we provide front end studies and EPC services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical devices
and animal health industries. We also specialize in providing validation and commissioning services where we not only bring
new facilities into production, but we also extend the life, or improve efficiencies, of existing facilities. We believe the ability
to complete projects on a large-scale basis, especially in a business where time to market is critical, enables us to better serve
our clients and is a key competitive advantage.
In mining and metals, we provide a full range of services to our clients who produce a variety of commodities, including
copper, iron ore, bauxite, alumina, aluminum, steel, diamond, gold, phosphates and rare earth minerals. We support our
clients as they meet the growing demand for copper and battery metals, including lithium, platinum and nickel. We also serve
the fertilizer industry and provide services in the downstream metals market. Our services include conceptual and feasibility
studies through detailed EPC, commissioning and startup support. Many of our opportunities are being developed in remote
and logistically challenging environments, such as the Andes Mountains, Western Australia and Africa. We believe we are one
of the few companies with the size, regional presence and experience to execute large scale mining and metals projects,
regardless of location.
In infrastructure, we support the development of infrastructure projects with a focus on state departments of
transportation. We provide a broad range of services including consulting, design, planning, financial structuring, engineering
and construction and operation and maintenance services. Continuing urbanization and the replacement and expansion of
aging infrastructure in North America continues to drive project opportunities.
The segment's staffing services are provided through TRS Staffing Solutions®. TRS is a global enterprise of staffing
specialists that provides us and third-party clients with technical, professional and craft resources either on a contract or
permanent placement basis.
Mission Solutions
Mission Solutions is a provider of high-end technical solutions to the U.S. and other governments. The segment's
nuclear and civil business holds a tier 1 position with differentiated expertise in managing complex national security missions
across the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration. We deliver solutions for nuclear security
and operations, nuclear waste management and laboratory management. Additionally, we are an industry leader in nuclear
remediation at governmental facilities providing site management, environmental remediation, and decommissioning of
facilities and have been successful in addressing environmental and regulatory challenges associated with legacy and
operational nuclear sites. We also provide services to commercial nuclear clients. In civil services, we are a partner to FEMA
for disaster recovery and are one of their top contractors.
In defense, we deliver operations and maintenance, global logistics, EPC, life support and operations of mission critical
facilities across U.S. military service organizations. We can rapidly mobilize people and equipment to deliver solutions across
the globe and in the harshest environments. We believe we can deliver the solutions to our military clients no matter how
remote the location or how quickly services are required. We believe we have the people, tools and skills to provide services
that are unmatched among our peers.
For our intelligence clients, we have more than 600 security-cleared personnel providing critical infrastructure solutions
such as data center management, operations and maintenance of secure facilities and technology platform services. We
construct and renovate secure facilities around the world for a number of government departments and agencies in support
of their enduring missions. We believe we are trusted by our clients to ensure their mission success.
6
Other
Our Other segment includes the operations of NuScale, in which we are the majority investor. NuScale has developed
an NRC standard design approved SMR technology, which we believe will be a leader in the development of light water,
passively safe SMRs, providing us with significant future project opportunities.
In the first quarter of 2022, we determined that our Stork business and the remaining unsold AMECO equipment
business no longer met all of the requirements to be classified as Disc Ops, primarily because of uncertainties related to the
timing of these sales. Therefore, both Stork and the remaining AMECO operations are reported as Cont Ops for all periods
presented and included in the Other segment. Stork provides asset maintenance and asset integrity services to the oil and gas,
chemicals, life sciences, power, mining and metals, consumer products and manufacturing industries. Our equipment business
provides integrated construction equipment, tool, scaffolding and fleet service solutions to us and third-party clients in a
focused number of locations around the world for construction projects and client production assets.
We made the decision to retain Stork's North American operations, which largely consists of our operations and
maintenance business owned prior to the acquisition of Stork. This business line, renamed Plant & Facility Services, will be
included in our Urban Solutions segment beginning in the first quarter of 2023, and on a comparable basis for earlier periods.
Other Matters
Backlog
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 and pass-through costs.
Backlog in the engineering and construction industry is a measure of the value of work to be performed on contracts
already awarded and those in progress.

Although backlog reflects business that we consider 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. The terms and conditions of some contracts include elements of both lump-
sum and reimbursable contracts. Also, certain contracts may be converted from reimbursable to lump-sum. Due to additional
7
factors outside of our control, such as changes in project schedules, we cannot predict the exact timing that our December 31,
2022 backlog will be earned as revenue. Accordingly, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future earnings or revenues and
no assurances can be provided that we will ultimately realize revenue on our backlog.

(1) During 2021, we removed $2 billion from backlog due to the cancellation of a steel project and a chemicals project.
In 2023, we expect to perform approximately 55% of our total backlog reported as of December 31, 2022, which is in
line with the last three years.
Types of Contracts
While the basic terms and conditions of the contracts that we perform may vary considerably, we typically perform our
work under two types of contracts: (a) reimbursable contracts and (b) lump-sum or guaranteed maximum contracts. In some
markets, we are seeing hybrid contracts containing both lump-sum and reimbursable elements. As of December 31, 2022, the
following table summarizes contract type within our ending backlog:

In accordance with industry practice, most of our contracts are subject to termination at the discretion of our client. In
such situations, our contracts typically provide for the payment of fees earned through the date of termination and the
reimbursement of costs incurred including demobilization costs.
Under reimbursable contracts, the client reimburses us based upon negotiated rates and pays us a pre-determined fee,
or a fee based upon a percentage of the cost incurred in completing the project. Our profit may be in the form of a fee, a
simple markup applied to labor cost incurred in performing the contract, or a combination of the two. The fee element may
also vary. The fee may be an incentive fee based upon achieving certain performance factors, milestones or targets; it may be
a fixed amount in the contract; or it may be based upon a percentage of the cost incurred. In some cases, reimbursable
contracts may be converted into lump-sum contracts.
Our Mission Solutions segment, primarily acting as a prime contractor or a major subcontractor for a number of
government programs, generally performs its services under reimbursable contracts subject to applicable statutes and
regulations. In many cases, these contracts include incentive fee arrangements. The programs may span many years and may
be implemented by awards under multiple contracts. Some of our government contracts are known as indefinite delivery
indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) agreements. Under these arrangements, we work closely with the government to define the scope
and amount of work required based upon an estimate of the maximum amount that the government desires to spend. While
the scope is often not initially fully defined or does not require any specific amount of work, once the project scope is
determined, additional work may be awarded to us without the need for further competitive bidding.
Under lump-sum contracts, we may bid based upon preliminary engineering drawings and specifications provided by
the client. This type of contracting presents risk because, among other things, it requires us to predetermine the work to be
performed, the project execution schedule and all costs associated with the work based on incomplete information, all of
which requires us to make pricing assumptions based on judgment informed by prior experience on other projects. As noted
below, this risk may be higher when we provide a lump-sum bid in competition with other contractors because we may not be
selected for the work if our bid is higher than the competition. Another type of lump-sum contract is a negotiated fixed-price
contract, under which we are selected as contractor first and then negotiate a lump-sum price with the client. This may
reduce the risk associated with bidding in competition. Furthermore, negotiated fixed-price contracts may occur under a
8
compensation model in which we perform some of the early work on a project, including to advance the engineering, on a
reimbursable basis before agreeing upon and converting to a lump-sum price for the remainder of the project. Depending
upon when in the lifecycle of a project we convert from reimbursable to lump-sum pricing, the risk may be lower because we
may have had greater insight into the details of the project scope, engineering and schedule thereby reducing the number
and character of the pricing assumptions in the agreed-upon lump-sum price. Another type of lump-sum contract is a unit
price contract under which we are paid a set amount for every “unit” of work performed. If we perform well under any type of
lump-sum contract, we can benefit from cost savings gained from the effects of our efficiencies. However, if the project does
not proceed as originally planned, we may not be able to recover cost overruns, which may cause us to lose money.
Guaranteed maximum price contracts are reimbursable contracts except that the total fee plus the total cost cannot
exceed an agreed upon guaranteed maximum price. We can be responsible for some or all of the total cost of the project if
the cost exceeds the guaranteed maximum price. Where the total cost is less than the negotiated guaranteed maximum price,
we may receive the benefit of the cost savings based upon a negotiated agreement with the client.
Some of our contracts, regardless of type, may operate under joint ventures or other teaming arrangements. Typically,
we enter into these arrangements with companies with whom we have worked previously. These arrangements are generally
made to strengthen our market position or technical skills, or where the size, scale or location of the project directs the use of
such arrangements.
Competition
The markets served by our business are highly competitive and, for the most part, require substantial resources and
highly skilled and experienced technical personnel. A large number of companies compete against us, including U.S.-based
companies such as AECOM, Amentum Services, Inc., Bechtel Group, Inc., EMCOR Group, Inc., Jacobs Solutions, Inc., KBR, Inc.,
Kiewit Corporation, Granite Construction, Inc. and Quanta Services, Inc., and international-based companies such as ACS
Actividades de Construccion y Servicios, Balfour Beatty plc, Chiyoda Corporation, Hyundai Engineering & Construction
Company, Ltd., JGC Corporation, McDermott International, Inc., Petrofac Limited, SNC-Lavalin Group, Inc., Samsung
Engineering, Stantec Inc., Technip Energies N.V., Wood Group plc, and WorleyParsons Limited.
Competition for our Energy Solutions and Urban Solutions segments is based on an ability to provide the design,
engineering, planning, management and project execution skills required to complete complex projects in a safe, timely and
cost-efficient manner. We believe our engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction business derives its
competitive strength from our market diversity, excellence in execution, reputation for quality, technology, cost-effectiveness,
worldwide procurement capability, project management expertise, geographic coverage, ability to meet client requirements
by performing construction on either a union or an open shop basis, ability to execute complex projects of varying sizes,
strong safety record and lengthy experience with a wide range of services and technologies.
In Urban Solutions, temporary staffing is a highly fragmented market with over 1,000 companies competing globally.
The key competitive factors in this business line are price, service, quality, client relationships, breadth of service and the
ability to identify and retain qualified personnel and geographic coverage.
In our Mission Solutions segment, key competitive factors are primarily centered on performance, qualified personnel
and the ability to provide the design, engineering, planning, management and project execution skills required to complete
complex projects in a safe, timely, cost-efficient and compliant manner.
Raw Materials
The principal products we use in our business include structural steel, metal plate, concrete, cable and various electrical
and mechanical components. These products and components are subject to raw material (aluminum, copper, nickel, iron
ore, etc.) availability and pricing fluctuations, which we monitor on a regular basis. We have access to numerous global supply
sources; however, the availability and cost of these products, components and raw materials may vary significantly from year
to year due to various factors including the logistics market, client demand, producer capacity, inflation, market conditions
and specific material shortages.
Compliance with Government Regulations
We provide services at sites throughout the world. Work at some of these sites involves activities related to nuclear
facilities, hazardous waste, hydrocarbon production, distribution and transport, the military and infrastructure. Some of our
work can be performed adjacent to environmentally sensitive locations such as wetlands, lakes and rivers. We also contract
with governments to remediate hazardous materials, including chemical agents, as well as to decontaminate and
decommission nuclear sites. These activities can require us to manage, handle, remove, treat, transport and dispose of toxic,
radioactive or hazardous substances, and are subject to many environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
9
We believe that we are compliant with all environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. We further believe
that any accruals with respect to future environmental costs are adequate and that any future costs will not have a material
effect on our financial position or results of operations. Some factors, however, could result in additional expenditures or the
provision of additional accruals in expectation of such expenditures. These include the imposition of more stringent
requirements under environmental laws or regulations, new developments or changes regarding site cleanup costs or the
allocation of such costs among potentially responsible parties, or a determination that we are potentially responsible for the
release of hazardous substances at sites other than those currently identified.
Sustainability
Our sustainability mission envisions meeting the needs of our clients while conducting business in an environmentally
and socially responsible manner. We consistently apply prudent governance principles to the benefit of current and future
generations, thereby creating value for all stakeholders. Every day, we help clients safeguard the environment, conserve
energy, protect lives, and strengthen the economies and social structures of communities in which our employees work and
live.
As a key component for our sustainability program, we have committed to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Early
in 2021, we committed to achieving net zero emissions for Scopes 1 and 2 absolute greenhouse gas emissions by the end of
2023, and we believe we are on track to meet that objective.
We have a Sustainability Committee to oversee our sustainability policies, strategies and programs. The Sustainability
Committee includes representatives from each of our business segments, as well as a cross-functional team of subject matter
experts from communications, health, safety and environmental, human resources, supply chain, investor relations and legal,
who serve as advisors to the Sustainability Committee. In furtherance of our Board of Directors' commitment to sustainability,
our Board of Directors and Governance Committee review and receive reports from management on our sustainability efforts.
Human Capital
We have built a high-performance culture with purpose and foster a diverse and inclusive workplace as a business
imperative because people are our greatest asset. A high performance culture, where everyone is treated fairly and
respectfully and has equal access to opportunities based on capabilities and performance, regardless of background, raises
both the individual and collective performance of our company. Our culture drives employee engagement, productivity and a
sustainable competitive advantage.

employee wellbeing including various mental health awareness campaigns, our global Employee Assistance Program, site-
specific wellbeing programs, and suicide prevention and mental health first aid training.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We are committed to advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ("DE&I"). We believe that every voice matters, and we
value DE&I at every level of our organization. We encourage diversity of cultures and perspectives as we build inclusive, high-
performance teams. We listen actively, respect one another and foster an environment of inclusivity and a sense of belonging.
We engage and partner with stakeholders who represent and support gender, generation, sexual orientation, mental and
physical ability, race and ethnic diversity. We encourage knowledge sharing among our employees and stakeholders.
We are focused on delivering four key impact pillars to advance DE&I:
•
•
•
•
Champion an inclusive culture;
Recruit, develop and retain talent;
Enhance employee experience; and
Improve social progress and impact.
We work with a variety of outreach, community and education organizations, including a range of universities. Fluor’s
Global University Sponsorship Program includes 24 partner institutions on six continents and we continue to grow our
relationships across a range of diverse colleges and technical schools with the majority of funding focused on underserved
minorities, women and veterans.
We are committed to strengthening our talent pipeline by expanding our diversity lens in our recruitment and selection
processes. We post our job openings internally and externally to reach a broad, diverse pool of candidates from all
backgrounds. Our balanced slate candidate selection practice supports the inclusive selection of candidates based on
capability, skills and qualifications for positions across our offices and business lines.
We have established five regional inclusion councils, with 11 chapters, to drive region-specific diversity and inclusion
actions. In addition, we have five employee resource groups ("ERGs"): Black Employee Alliance, Emerging Leaders Group,
Graduates Advancing to Professionalism, Growing Representation & Opportunity for Women and PRIDE for LGBTQ+
communities and allies. Active ERGs are a critical component of strengthening our culture of inclusion by providing
representation on regional inclusion councils, encouraging employee engagement, attracting and retaining talent, hosting
intersectional events and offering allyship opportunities and a sense of community for all employees.
Development Opportunities
One of our top priorities is to provide ongoing training and development for our employees through multiple avenues.
In 2022, we extended our catalog of leadership development offerings and methods of delivery. This included delivery of
critical learning opportunities to our executives, project execution and functional employees based in offices, remote
locations and project field assignments. Additionally, employees can access Fluor University, our online platform, where they
can select from a wide variety of self-paced, online, virtual and instructor-led training courses. Topics range from our
internally developed Fluor University courses focused on discipline-specific training, to commercially available technical
learning and general knowledge topics, such as leadership, business acumen, communication and inclusive management. In
2022, our employees received nearly 73,000 hours of training through Fluor University. For group-focused development and
networking, our global mentoring circles provide an avenue for small groups to generate dialogue about meaningful and
relevant topics related to the company, work environment and career development.
Community Responsibility
A high-performance culture with purpose offers employees robust and enriching opportunities to help build a better
world. For more than 40 years, our employee giving and volunteering program, Fluor Cares, has empowered employees to
give back to the communities where we live and work. In 2022, Fluor and our Fluor Foundation contributed $5 million to
community initiatives and programs with the majority of funding allocated to programs that support underserved minorities
and women. Additionally, we expanded our Fluor Cares platform to further empower our employees to invest in organizations
and causes that best resonate with them. This employee giving and volunteering program now includes 22 countries on six
continents and resulted in donations of $4 million. In 2022, thousands of our employees donated 22,500 volunteer hours,
nearly double 2021, to improve the communities where we live and operate.
11
We remain true to our legacy of giving back even as a variety of natural disasters and regional unrest affected lives and
communities in far-reaching and profound ways. In 2022, Fluor and our employees donated funds and supplies to provide
critical relief to those affected by the conflict in Eastern Europe. Donations included emergency food, clothing, medicine and
housing. We also donated $125,000 to the World Food Program to provide Ukrainian refugees with meals and basic
necessities. In addition, through our charitable partners, we delivered nearly 2 million hours of STEM (science, technology,
engineering and math) instruction to 200,000 students and teachers to equip students with the skills to participate in
tomorrow's workforce. We provided 850,000 meals to the hungry. We planted 24,000 trees, including reconstituting a
mangrove forest on the Philippines coast, and delivered environmental education to over 19,000 students to help create
sustainable communities.

financial condition, results of operations, and stock price could be materially adversely affected.
Summary Risk Factors
The following summarizes the risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operation and stock price. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of
each risk factor contained below.
13
Risks Related to our Operations
• We are vulnerable to the cyclical nature of the markets we serve.
• Our revenue and earnings are largely dependent on new awards, which are driven by our clients.
• The nature of our contracts, particularly our lump-sum contracts, subject us to risks associated with delays and cost
overruns, which may not be recoverable and may result in reduced profits or losses that could have a material impact
on us.
• Intense competition in the EPC industry can impact our revenue and profits.
• Our ability to grow requires us to hire and retain qualified personnel.
• The success of teaming arrangements and joint ventures depends on the satisfactory performance by our venture

Risks Related to Indebtedness and other Credit Related Risks
• Adverse credit and financial market conditions, including increasing interest rates, could impair our clients', our
partners' and our own borrowing capacity, which could negatively affect us.
• Our indebtedness could lead to adverse consequences or adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from
fulfilling our obligations under such indebtedness, and any refinancing of this debt could be at significantly higher
interest rates.
• We may be unable to win new contract awards if we cannot provide clients with financial assurances.
Legal and Regulatory Risks
• We are involved in litigation and regulatory proceedings, potential liability claims and contract disputes that may
have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
• Our failure to recover adequately on claims against project owners, subcontractors or suppliers for payment or
performance could have a material effect on our financial results.

stockholders.
• If we issue additional equity securities, stockholders' ownership percentages would be diluted.
• Delaware law and our charter documents may impede or discourage a takeover or change of control.
Risks Related to our Operations
We are vulnerable to the cyclical nature of the markets we serve.
The demand for our services is dependent upon the existence of clients with capital investments. Our clients' interest in
approving new projects, budgets for capital expenditures and need for our services have in the past been, and may in the
future be, adversely affected by, among other things, poor economic conditions (including inflation, slow growth or recession,
changes to governments' fiscal or monetary policy and higher interest rates), low oil prices, political uncertainties and
currency devaluations. Clients have been and remain selective in how they allocate their capital, especially the larger scale
projects in which we specialize. For example, in our Energy Solutions segment, capital expenditures by our clients are
influenced by factors such as prevailing hydrocarbon prices and expectations about future prices for underlying commodities,
technological advances, the costs of exploration, production and delivery of product, domestic and international political,
military, regulatory and economic conditions and other similar factors. There is no guarantee that current oil prices will be
sustained, and the timing and extent of any future improvements in demand remain uncertain. Industries served by that
segment and many of the others we serve have historically been and will continue to be vulnerable to general downturns,
which in turn could materially and adversely affect the demand for our services.
Our revenue and earnings are largely dependent on new awards, which are driven by our clients.
The awarding and timing of projects is unpredictable and driven by our clients. Awards, including expansions of existing
projects, often involve complex and lengthy negotiations and competitive bidding processes. These processes can be
impacted by a wide variety of factors including a client's decision to not proceed with the development of a project,
governmental approvals, financing contingencies, oil prices, environmental conditions and overall market and economic
conditions. We may not win contracts that we have bid on due to price, a client's perception of our ability to perform and/or
perceived technology advantages held by others. Many of our competitors may be more inclined to take greater risks or
include terms and conditions that we might not deem acceptable, especially when the markets for the services we typically
offer are relatively soft. Because a significant portion of our revenue is generated from large projects, our results can fluctuate
depending on whether and when large project awards occur and the commencement and progress of work under large
contracts already awarded. As a result, we are subject to the risk of losing new awards to competitors or the risk that revenue
may not be derived from awarded projects as quickly as anticipated. Additionally, uncertain economic and political conditions
may make it difficult for our clients, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. For example,
changes to U.S. policies related to global trade and tariffs in recent years, and responsive changes in policy by foreign
jurisdictions, have resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future of the global economy as well as retaliatory trade measures
implemented by other countries. We cannot predict the outcome of changing trade policies or other unanticipated economic
or political conditions, nor can we predict the timing, strength or duration of any worldwide economic recovery or downturn
or in the markets that we serve.
15
The nature of our contracts, particularly our lump-sum contracts, subject us to risks associated with delays and cost
overruns, which may not be recoverable and may result in reduced profits or losses that could have a material impact on us.
Because our projects are often technically complex, with multiple phases occurring over several years, we incur risks in
our project execution activities. These risks could result in project delays, cost overruns or other problems and can include the
following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Incorrect assumptions related to productivity, scheduling estimates or future economic conditions, including with
respect to the impacts of inflation on lump-sum contracts;
Unanticipated technical problems, including design or engineering issues;
Inaccurate representations of site conditions and unanticipated changes in the project execution plan;
Project modifications creating unanticipated costs or delays and failure to properly manage project modifications;
Inability to achieve guaranteed performance or quality standards with regard to engineering, construction or project
management obligations;
Insufficient or inadequate project execution tools and systems needed to record, track, forecast and control cost
and schedule;
Reliance on historical cost and/or execution data that is not representative of current economic and/or execution
conditions;
Failure to accurately estimate the timing and cost of projects, including due to inflation, supply chain disruption,
rising construction costs or unforeseen increases in the cost of labor;
Unanticipated increases in the cost of raw materials, components or equipment, including due to inflation or the
imposition of import tariffs;
Failure to properly make judgments in accordance with applicable professional standards, including engineering
standards;
Failure to properly assess and update appropriate risk mitigation strategies and measures;
Difficulties related to the performance of our clients, partners, subcontractors, suppliers or other third parties;
Delays or productivity issues caused by weather; and
Changes in local laws or difficulties or delays in obtaining permits, rights of way or approvals.
These and other risks have in the past and may in the future result in our failure to achieve contractual cost or schedule
commitments, safety performance, overall client satisfaction or other performance criteria. As a result, we may receive lower
fees or lose our ability to earn incentive fees. In other cases, our fee will not change but we will have to continue to perform
work without additional fees until the performance criteria is achieved. We may also be required to pay liquidated damages if
we fail to complete a project on schedule. In addition, if we fail to meet guaranteed performance or quality standards, we
may be held responsible under the guarantee or warranty provisions of our contract for cost impact to the client, generally in
the form of contractually agreed-upon liquidated damages or an obligation to re-perform work. To the extent these events
occur, the total cost to the project (including any liquidated damages we become liable to pay) could be material and could, in
some circumstances, equal or exceed the full value of the contract. In such events, our financial condition or results of
operations could be materially and negatively impacted.
In circumstances where the contract is lump-sum or the revenue is otherwise fixed, we bear significant risk for delays
and cost overruns. Reimbursable contract types, such as those that include negotiated hourly billing rates, may restrict the
kinds or amounts of costs that are reimbursable, therefore exposing us to the risk that we may incur certain costs in executing
these contracts that are above our estimates and not recoverable from our clients.
Intense competition in the EPC industry can impact our revenue and profits.
We serve markets that are highly competitive and in which a large number of multinational companies compete. These
markets require substantial resources and investment in technology and skilled personnel. We also see a continuing influx of
non-traditional competitors offering below-market pricing while accepting greater risk. Competition places downward
pressure on our contract prices and profit margins, and could cause us to accept contractual terms and conditions that are not
16
normal or customary, thereby increasing the risk of losses on such contracts. Intense competition is expected to continue in
our markets, presenting us with challenges to maintain acceptable profit margins. To the extent we are unable to meet these
competitive challenges, we could lose revenue and experience reduced profitability.
Our ability to grow requires us to hire and retain qualified personnel.
The success of our business is dependent upon being able to attract, develop and retain personnel, including engineers,
project management, craft employees and management, who have the necessary and required experience and expertise, and
who will perform these services at a reasonable and competitive rate. Competition for these and other experienced personnel
is intense. It may be difficult to attract and retain qualified individuals with the expertise and in the timeframe demanded by
our clients. In certain geographic areas, for example, we may be unable to satisfy the demand for our services because of our
inability to deploy qualified personnel. Also, it may be difficult to replace personnel who hold government required
credentials. Loss of the services of, or failure to recruit, qualified technical and management personnel, including a preference
for some candidates to work remotely, could limit our ability to successfully complete existing projects and compete for new
projects. In addition, as costs related to our workforce are dependent on market conditions, inflationary pressure has
increased, and may continue to increase, labor costs in certain geographic areas.
As some of our executives and other key personnel approach retirement age or otherwise leave the company, we need
to provide for smooth transitions, which requires succession planning to identify and integrate new personnel into leadership
roles. Changes in our management team may disrupt our business and the failure to successfully transition and assimilate
executives or other key personnel could adversely affect our results. If we are unable to employ a sufficient number of skilled
personnel or effectively implement appropriate succession plans, our ability to pursue projects may be adversely affected, the
costs of executing our existing and future projects may increase.
In addition, the cost of providing our services, including the extent to which we utilize our workforce, affects our
profitability. For example, the uncertainty of contract award timing can present difficulties in matching our workforce size
with project needs. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we could incur costs resulting from excess staff,
reductions in staff, or redundancy of facilities that could have a material adverse impact on us.
The success of teaming arrangements and joint ventures depends on the satisfactory performance by our venture partners
over whom we may have little or no control, and the failure of those partners to perform their obligations could impose
additional obligations on us that could have a material impact on us.
In the ordinary course of business in our industry, we execute specific projects and otherwise conduct certain
operations through joint ventures, consortiums, partnerships and other collaborative arrangements (collectively, "ventures").
We have various ownership interests in these ventures, with such ownership typically being proportionate to our decision-
making and distribution rights. The ventures generally contract directly with our client; however, services may be performed
directly by the venture, or may be performed by us, our partners, or a combination thereof.
Our success in many markets is impacted by the presence or capability of our partners. If we are unable to compete
alone, or with a quality partner, our ability to win work and successfully complete our contracts may be impacted. Differences
in opinions or views between venture partners can result in delayed decision-making or failure to agree on material issues,
which could adversely affect the business and operations of our ventures. In many of the countries in which we engage in
joint ventures, it may be difficult to enforce our contractual rights under the applicable joint venture agreement.
At times, we also participate in ventures where we are not a controlling party or where we team with unaffiliated
parties on a particular project. In such instances, we may have limited control over venture decisions and actions, including
ICFR, which may have an impact on our business. If internal control problems arise within a venture, or if our venture partners
have financial or operational issues, there could be a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
The success of our ventures also depends, in large part, on the satisfactory performance by our venture partners of
their obligations, including their obligation to commit working capital, equity or credit support as required by the venture and
to support their indemnification and other contractual obligations. If our venture partners fail to satisfactorily perform their
obligations, the venture may be unable to adequately perform or deliver its contracted services. Under these circumstances,
we may be required to make additional investments and provide additional services to ensure the adequate performance and
delivery of the contracted services and to meet any performance guarantees. From time to time, in order to establish or
preserve a relationship, or to better ensure venture success, we may accept risks or responsibilities for the venture that are
not necessarily proportionate with the reward we expect to receive or that may differ from risks or responsibilities we would
normally accept in our own operations. We may also be subject to joint and several liability under the contracts for venture
projects. These additional obligations could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, increased liabilities or significant losses
for us with respect to the venture, and in turn, our business and operations. In addition, a failure by a venture partner to
17
comply with applicable regulations could negatively impact our business and reputation and could result in fines, penalties,
suspension or, in the case of government contracts, even debarment.
We are dependent upon suppliers and subcontractors to complete many of our contracts.
Some of the work performed under our contracts is performed by third-party subcontractors. We also rely on third-
party suppliers to provide much of the equipment and materials used for projects. If we are unable to hire qualified
subcontractors or find qualified suppliers, our ability to successfully or timely complete a project could be impaired. If the
amount we are required to pay for subcontractors or equipment and supplies exceeds what we have estimated, especially in a
lump-sum contract, we may suffer losses on these contracts. If a supplier or subcontractor fails to provide supplies,
technology, equipment or services as required under a contract to us, our joint venture partner, our client or any other party
involved in the project for any reason, or provides supplies, technology, equipment or services that are not an acceptable
quality, we may be required to source those supplies, technology, equipment or services on a delayed basis or at a higher
price than anticipated, which could impact our profitability. In addition, faulty workmanship, equipment or materials could
impact the overall project, resulting in claims against us for failure to meet required project specifications. These risks may be
intensified during an economic downturn if these suppliers or subcontractors experience financial difficulties or find it difficult
to obtain sufficient financing to fund their operations or access to bonding, and are not able to provide the services or
supplies necessary for our business. A failure by a third-party subcontractor or supplier to comply with applicable laws, rules
or regulations could negatively impact our business and reputation and could result in fines, penalties, suspension, or in the
case of government contracts, even debarment.
Cybersecurity breaches of our systems and IT could adversely impact our ability to operate.
We utilize, develop, install and maintain a number of IT systems. Various privacy and security laws require us to protect
sensitive and confidential information from disclosure. In addition, we are bound by our contracts, as well as our own
business practices, to protect confidential and proprietary information. Our computer systems, as well as those of our clients,
partners, contractors and other vendors, face the threat of unauthorized access, computer hacking, viruses, malicious code,
cyber attacks, phishing and other security incursions and system disruptions. As many of our employees use our computer
systems to collaborate with colleagues in different geographic locations and access our systems remotely, we may be subject
to heightened risks, including the risk of cyber attacks. While we endeavor to maintain or exceed industry-accepted security
measures and technology to secure our computer systems and while we endeavor to ensure our cloud vendors that store our
data maintain similar measures, these systems and the information stored on these systems are still subject to threats. There
can be no assurance that our efforts, including cybersecurity training for our employees, will protect us against all threats.
Further, as these security threats continue to evolve, we may be required to devote additional resources to protect, detect
and respond against such threats. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to IT systems change
frequently, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. A party who
circumvents our security measures, or those of our clients, contractors or other vendors, could misappropriate confidential or
proprietary information, improperly manipulate data, or cause damage or interruptions to systems. While to date we have
not experienced any material impact as a result of cyber attacks, the ultimate impact of these and similar events remains
unknown, and additional vulnerabilities may arise in the future. Any of these events could damage our reputation, result in
litigation and regulatory fines and penalties, impact our operations (including our ability to report our financial results), or
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, while we maintain
insurance that specifically covers cybersecurity threats, our coverage may not sufficiently cover all types of losses or claims
that may arise.
In addition, new or evolving laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential
information, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the California Consumer Privacy Act,
the California Privacy Rights Act, and other U.S. state and global emerging privacy laws, pose increasingly complex compliance
challenges and could potentially elevate our compliance costs. Any failure to comply with these laws and regulations could
result in significant penalties and legal liability, which could have a negative impact on our results of operation.
Systems and IT interruption, as well as new systems implementation, could adversely impact our ability to operate and our
operating results.
We are heavily reliant on computer, information and communications technology and related systems, some of which
are hosted by third party providers. From time to time, we experience system interruptions and delays that may be planned
for upgrades or that may be unplanned. Unplanned interruptions could result from natural disasters, power loss,
telecommunications failures, acts of war or terrorism, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar events or
disruptions. Any of these or other events could cause system interruptions, delays, loss of critical or sensitive data (including
personal or financial data) or loss of funds; could delay or prevent operations (including the processing of transactions and
reporting of financial results); and could adversely affect our reputation or our operating results. While we have and require
18
the maintenance of reasonable safeguards designed to protect against unavailability or loss of data, these safeguards may not
be sufficient. We may be required to incur significant costs to protect against or alleviate damage caused by systems
interruptions and delays, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We continue to evaluate the need to upgrade and/or replace our systems and network infrastructure to protect our
computing environment, to stay current on vendor supported products, to improve the efficiency of our systems and for
other business reasons. The implementation of new systems and IT could adversely impact our operations by imposing
substantial capital expenditures, demands on management time and risks of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new
systems. Our systems implementations also may not result in productivity improvements at the levels anticipated. Systems
implementation disruption and any other IT disruption, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
We have international operations that are subject to foreign economic and political uncertainties and risks. Unexpected
and adverse changes in the foreign countries in which we operate could result in project disruptions, increased cost and
potential losses.
Our business is subject to international economic and political conditions that change (sometimes frequently) for
reasons that are beyond our control. We expect that a significant portion of our revenue and profits will continue to come
from non-U.S. projects for the foreseeable future.
Operating in the international marketplace exposes us to a number of risks including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
abrupt changes in government policies, laws, treaties (including those impacting trade), regulations or leadership;
embargoes or other trade restrictions, including sanctions;
restrictions on currency movement;
tax or tariff changes and withholding requirements;
currency exchange rate fluctuations;
changes in labor conditions and difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, including logistical
and communication challenges;
U.S. government trade or other policy changes in relation to the foreign countries in which we operate;
other regional, social, political and economic instability, including recessions and other economic crises;
natural disasters and public health crises, including pandemics;
expropriation and nationalization of our assets;
international hostilities, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has resulted in the
imposition by the U.S. and other nations of restrictive actions against Russia and certain banks, companies and
individuals; and
•
unrest, civil strife, acts of war, terrorism and insurrection.
During the first quarter of 2022, we suspended any new investment in our Russian operations. Our backlog on projects
in the impacted region is not significant to future revenue or margin. We continue to monitor the circumstances in Eastern
Europe and are winding down our existing contractual obligations while complying with all regulatory limitations placed on
new and existing business for projects and clients based in the region.
The lack of a well-developed legal system in some of the countries where we operate may make it difficult to enforce
our contractual rights or to defend ourself against claims made by others. We operate in locations where there is a significant
amount of political risk. In addition, nationalization, military action or continued unrest could impact the supply or pricing of
oil, disrupt our operations in the region and elsewhere, and increase our security costs. Our level of exposure to these risks
may vary with each project, depending on the location of the project and its stage of completion. For example, our risk
exposure with respect to a project in an early development phase, such as engineering, will generally be less than our risk
exposure on a project that is in the construction phase. To the extent that our international business is affected by
unexpected and adverse foreign economic and political conditions and risks, we may experience project disruptions and
losses.
19
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations.
Our backlog generally consists of projects for which we have an executed contract or commitment with a client and
reflects our expected revenue from the contract or commitment, which is often subject to revision over time. We cannot
guarantee that the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized or profitable or will not be subject to delay or suspension.
Project cancellations, scope adjustments or deferrals, or foreign currency fluctuations may occur with respect to contracts
reflected in our backlog and could reduce the value of our backlog and the revenue and profits that we actually earn; or, may
cause the rate at which we perform on our backlog to decrease. Most of our contracts have termination for convenience
provisions in them allowing clients to cancel projects. Our contracts typically provide for the payment of fees earned through
the date of termination and the reimbursement of costs incurred including demobilization costs. In addition, projects may
remain in our backlog for an extended period of time. During periods of economic slowdown, or decreases and/or instability
in oil prices, the risk of projects being suspended, delayed or canceled generally increases. Finally, poor project or contract
performance could also impact our backlog and profits. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on our
business and our profits.
Our employees work on projects that are inherently dangerous and in locations where there are high security risks, and a
failure to maintain a safe work site could result in significant losses.
We often work on complex projects, frequently in geographically remote or high-risk locations that are subject to
political, social or economic risks, or war or civil unrest. In those locations where we have employees or operations, we may
expend significant efforts and incur substantial security costs to maintain safety. In addition, our project sites can place our
employees and others near large equipment, dangerous processes or substances or highly regulated materials, and in
challenging environments. Safety is a primary focus of our business and is critical to our reputation and performance. Many of
our clients require that we meet certain safety criteria to be eligible to bid on contracts, and some of our contract fees or
profits are subject to satisfying safety criteria. Unsafe work conditions also have the potential of increasing employee
turnover, increasing project costs and raising our operating costs. If we fail to implement appropriate safety procedures and/
or if our procedures fail, our employees or others may suffer injuries or loss of life, the completion of a project could be
delayed and we could experience investigations or litigation. Although we have a safety function to implement effective
health, safety and environmental procedures throughout our company, the failure to comply with such procedures, client
contracts or applicable regulations could subject us to losses and liability. Despite these activities we cannot guarantee the
safety of our personnel, nor can we guarantee our work, equipment or supplies will be free from damage.
Our businesses could be materially and adversely affected by events outside of our control.
Extraordinary or force majeure events beyond our control, such as natural or man-made disasters, severe weather
conditions, public health crises such as COVID, supply chain disruption, political crises or other catastrophic events, could
negatively impact our ability to operate or increase our costs to operate. Such events may result in disruptions to our
operations; evacuation of personnel; increased labor and material costs or shortages; inability to deliver materials, equipment
and personnel to jobsites in accordance with contract schedules; and loss of productivity. We may remain obligated to
perform our services after any such events, unless a contract provision provides us with relief from our obligations. The extra
costs incurred as a result of these events may not be reimbursed by our clients. If we are not able to react quickly to such
events, or if a high concentration of our projects are impacted by such an event, our operations may be adversely affected. In
addition, if we cannot complete our contracts on time, we may be subject to potential liability claims by our clients, which
may reduce our profits and result in losses.
We must successfully manage the demands, supply and operational challenges associated with the effects of widespread
health concerns, such as COVID.
Our business operations, results of operations and financial position has been and may continue to be negatively
impacted by epidemics, pandemics and similar widespread public health concerns, such as COVID, including as a result of the
actions taken by international federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities in response, including
vaccine mandates, quarantines, government restrictions on movement, distancing, business closures and suspensions,
canceled events and activities, isolation, and other voluntary or mandated changes in behavior.
The outbreak of COVID and actions in response thereto created significant uncertainty and economic volatility and
disruption, which have impacted and may continue to impact our workforce and operations and have and materially
20
adversely affected and may continue to materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance,
including, but not limited to, the following:
• We may experience reductions in demand for our services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated
projects due to our clients’, suppliers’ and other third parties’ diminished financial conditions or financial distress, as
well as governmental budget constraints.
•
Some clients have been, and may in the future be, unable to meet their payment obligations to us in a timely
manner. Further, other third parties, such as suppliers, subcontractors, joint venture partners and other outside
business partners, have experienced significant disruptions in their ability to satisfy their obligations with respect to
us, or they may be unable to do so in the future altogether.
• Many of our employees continue to work remotely. While many of our employees can effectively perform their
responsibilities while working remotely, some work may not be completed as efficiently as if it were performed on
site.
•
•
•
Various vaccine mandates issued by clients or governments could negatively impact our ability to attract and retain
qualified employees, increase costs and administrative burden and make us subject to fines.
Illness, travel restrictions or other workforce disruptions have affected, and may continue to affect, our supply
chain, our ability to timely and satisfactorily complete our clients’ projects, our ability to provide services to our
clients or our other business processes.
Jurisdictions where we have operations may impose prolonged quarantines or further restrict travel and business
activity, which could materially impair our ability to conduct our operations, to source supplies through the global
supply chain and to identify, pursue and capture new business opportunities.
The extent to which COVID or other significant disease outbreaks will impact us depends on numerous evolving factors
and future developments that we are not currently able to predict and may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this 2022
10-K, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us, our business operations, results of operations and financial
position.
Our actual results could differ from the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements.
In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas requiring significant estimates
by our management include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
recognition of revenue, costs, profits or losses;
recognition of revenue related to project incentives, awards or other variable consideration we expect to receive;
recognition of recoveries under contract change orders or claims;
estimated amounts for project losses, warranty costs, contract close-out or other costs;
collectability of receivables and the need and amount of any allowance;
asset valuations;
income tax provisions and related valuation allowances;
determination of expense and potential liabilities under pension and other post-retirement benefit programs; and
accruals for other estimated liabilities, including litigation and insurance reserves and receivables.
Estimates are based on management's reasonable assumptions and experience, but are only estimates. Our actual
business and financial results could differ from our estimates of such results due to changes in facts and circumstances, which
could have a material negative impact on our financial condition and reported results of operations. Further, we recognize
contract revenue as work on a contract progresses. The cumulative amount of revenue recorded on a contract at any point is
that percentage of total estimated revenue that costs incurred to date bear to estimated total costs. Accordingly, contract
revenue and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised as the work progresses. Adjustments are reflected in contract
revenue in the period when such estimates are revised. Such adjustments could be material and could result in reduced
profitability.
21
If we experience delays or defaults in client payments, we could be negatively impacted.
Because of the nature of our contracts, we sometimes commit resources to projects prior to receiving payments from
clients in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures as they come due. Some of our clients have found it difficult to pay our
invoices timely, increasing the risk that our accounts receivable could become uncollectible and ultimately be written off. In
certain cases, our clients for our large projects are project-specific entities that do not have significant assets other than their
interests in the project. From time to time, it is difficult for us to collect payments owed to us by these clients. In addition,
clients may request extension of the payment terms otherwise agreed to under our contracts. Delays in client payments may
require us to make a working capital investment, which could impact our cash flows and liquidity. If a client fails to pay
invoices on a timely basis or defaults, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations or liquidity.
Our U.S. government contracts and contracting rights may be terminated or otherwise adversely impacted at any time, and
our inability to win or renew government contracts during regulated procurement processes could harm our operations and
reduce our projects and revenues.
We have a significant portfolio of government contracts, including those that we have in place with the DOE and U.S.
Department of Defense. U.S. government contracts are subject to various uncertainties, restrictions and regulations, including
oversight audits by government agencies and profit and cost controls, which could result in withholding or delay of payments
to us. U.S. government contracts are also subject to uncertainties associated with congressional funding, including the
potential impacts of budget deficits, government shutdowns and federal sequestration. Changes in U.S. government priorities,
which can occur due to policy changes or economic changes, could adversely impact our revenues. The U.S. government is
under no obligation to maintain program funding at any specific level, and funds for a program may even be eliminated. Our
U.S. government clients may terminate or decide not to renew our contracts with little or no prior notice.
In addition, U.S. government contracts are subject to specific regulations such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation
("FAR"), the Truth in Negotiations Act, the Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS"), the Service Contract Act and Department of
Defense security regulations. Failure to comply with any of these regulations and other government requirements may result
in contract price adjustments, financial penalties or contract termination. Our U.S. government contracts are also subject to
audits, cost reviews and investigations by U.S. government oversight agencies such as the U.S. Defense Contract Audit Agency
(the "DCAA"). The DCAA reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal controls and policies (including our
labor, billing, accounting, purchasing, estimating, compensation and management information systems). The DCAA also has
the ability to review how we have accounted for costs under the FAR and CAS. The DCAA presents its findings to the Defense
Contract Management Agency ("DCMA"). Should the DCMA determine that we have not complied with the terms of our
contract and applicable statutes and regulations, or if they believe that we have engaged in inappropriate accounting or other
activities, payments to us may be disallowed or we could be required to refund previously collected payments. Additionally,
we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, suspension or debarment from future government contracts, and qui tam
litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the U.S. government under the False Claims Act, which could include
claims for treble damages. These suits may remain under seal (and hence, be unknown to us) for some time while the
government decides whether to intervene on behalf of the qui tam plaintiff. Furthermore, if we have significant
disagreements with our government clients concerning costs incurred, negative publicity could arise, which could adversely
affect our industry reputation and our ability to compete for new contracts in the government arena or otherwise.
Most U.S. government contracts are awarded through a rigorous competitive process. The U.S. government has
increasingly relied upon multiple-year contracts with pre-established terms and conditions that generally require those
contractors that have been previously awarded the contract to engage in an additional competitive bidding process for each
task order issued under the contract. Such processes require successful contractors to anticipate requirements and develop
rapid-response bid and proposal teams as well as dedicated supplier relationships and delivery systems to react to these
needs. We face rigorous competition and significant pricing pressures in order to win these task orders. If we are not
successful in containing costs or able to timely respond to government requests, we may not win additional awards.
Moreover, even if we are qualified to work on a government contract, we may be impacted in our pursuit of work by
government policies designed to protect small businesses and under- represented minority contractors.
Many of our U.S. government contracts require security clearances. Depending upon the level of clearance required,
security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If we or our employees are unable to obtain or retain
necessary security clearances, we may not be able to win new business, and our existing government clients could terminate
their contracts with us or decide not to renew them.
Under the Budget Control Act of 2011, an automatic sequestration process, or across-the-board budget cuts, was
triggered when the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction failed to agree on a deficit reduction plan for the U.S. federal
budget. The Budget Control Act of 2011 remains in place, extended through 2029, and absent additional legislative or other
remedial action, the sequestration could require reduced U.S. federal government spending through 2029. A significant
22
reduction in federal government spending or a change in budgetary priorities could reduce demand for our services, cancel or
delay federal projects, and result in the closure of federal facilities and significant personnel reductions, which could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our effective tax rate and tax positions may vary.
We are subject to income taxes where we do business. A change in tax laws, treaties or regulations, or their
interpretation, in any country in which we operate could change our overall tax rate, which could have a material impact on
our results of operations. In addition, significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income
taxes and our judgments could prove inaccurate. There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax
determination is uncertain. We are regularly under audit by tax authorities, and our tax estimates and tax positions could be
materially affected by many factors including the final outcome of tax audits and related litigation, the introduction of new tax
accounting standards, legislation, regulations and related interpretations, our global mix of earnings, our ability to realize
deferred tax assets and changes in uncertain tax positions. Future changes in our tax rate or adverse changes in tax laws could
have a material adverse effect on our profitability and liquidity. We may also be exposed to limitations on our ability to
reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund our operations in other countries due to tax laws in different
jurisdictions.
It can be very difficult and expensive to obtain the insurance we need for our business operations.
We maintain insurance both as a corporate risk management strategy and to satisfy the requirements of many of our
contracts. Although we have been generally able to cover our insurance needs, there can be no assurances that we can secure
all necessary or appropriate insurance in the future, or that such insurance can be economically secured. For example,
catastrophic events can result in decreased coverage limits, more limited coverage, increased premium costs or deductibles.
We also monitor the financial health of our insurance. Our insurance is purchased from a number of leading providers, often
in layered insurance or quota share arrangements. If any of our third party insurers fail, abruptly cancel our coverage or
otherwise cannot satisfy their obligations to us, then our overall risk exposure and operational expenses could increase and
our business operations could be interrupted.
If we do not have adequate indemnification for our nuclear services, it could adversely affect our business and financial
condition.
We provide services to the DOE and the nuclear energy industry in the on-going maintenance and modification of
nuclear facilities as well as decontamination and decommissioning activities of nuclear plants. The Price-Anderson Act
generally indemnifies parties performing services to nuclear power plants and DOE contractors; however, not all of our
activities are covered. Thus, if the Price-Anderson Act indemnification protections do not apply to our services, or if the
exposure occurs outside of the U.S. in a region that does not have protections comparable to the Price-Anderson Act, our
business and financial condition could be adversely affected by our client's refusal to contract with us, by our inability to
obtain commercially reasonable insurance or third party indemnification, or by the potentially significant monetary damages
we could incur.
Foreign currency risks could have an adverse impact on revenue, earnings and/or backlog.
Our contracts may subject us to foreign currency risk, particularly when project revenue is denominated in a currency
different than the expected costs. A project may be denominated in different currencies at various points in time as a project
progresses. We may attempt to minimize our exposure to foreign currency risk by obtaining contract provisions that protect
us from foreign currency fluctuations and/or by implementing hedging strategies utilizing derivatives. However, these actions
may not always eliminate all foreign currency risk, and as a result, our profitability could be affected.
Our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies are subject to remeasurement. In addition,
the U.S. dollar value of our backlog may from time to time increase or decrease significantly due to foreign currency volatility.
The loss of one or a few clients could have an adverse effect on us.
A few clients, including the U.S. government, state governments and governmental agencies comprise a significant
portion of our revenue. Although we have long-standing relationships with many of our significant clients, our clients may
unilaterally reduce, fail to renew or terminate their contracts with us at any time. Most of our contracts have "termination for
convenience" provisions in them. The loss of business from a significant client could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial position and results of operations.
23
Our business may be negatively impacted if we are unable to adequately protect intellectual property rights.
Our success is impacted by our ability to differentiate our services through our technologies and know-how. This
includes the ability to protect intellectual property rights. We utilize a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secrets,
confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements to protect our interests. However, these methods only
provide limited protection and may not adequately protect our interests. Our employees, contractors and joint venture
partners are subject to confidentiality obligations, but this protection may be inadequate to deter or prevent
misappropriation of our confidential information and/or infringement of our intellectual property rights. This can be especially
true in certain foreign countries where intellectual property does not have equivalent protections as in the U.S., or when our
joint venture partner is a competitor who will gain access to our procedures and know-how while working with us in the
performance of services.
Our clients require broad ownership rights in the work product and other materials we deliver. If we are unable to
retain ownership of our intellectual property and improvements thereto, it may affect our ability to provide similar services to
other clients in the future, which ultimately, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our competitors or others may independently develop technology substantially similar to our trade secret technology
or we may be unsuccessful in preserving our intellectual property rights in the future. Our intellectual property rights could be
invalidated, circumvented, challenged or infringed upon. Litigation to determine the scope of intellectual property rights, even
if ultimately successful, could be costly and could divert management's attention.
In addition, our clients or other third parties may also provide us with their technology and intellectual property. There
is a risk that we may not sufficiently protect against improper use, access or dissemination and, as a result, we could be
subject to claims and litigation and resulting liabilities, loss of contracts or other consequences that could have an adverse
impact on us.
We also hold licenses from third parties utilized in our business operations. If we are no longer able to license such
technology on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, we could be adversely affected. When we license our intellectual
property to third parties, the scope of such license grant is generally limited. If such third party exceeds the scope of the
license grant, and if we are unable to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property or otherwise take appropriate steps
to enforce our rights, our revenue and margins will be adversely impacted, and the value of our intellectual property portfolio
may be adversely affected.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected as a result of asset impairments.
Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by impairments. Goodwill is not amortized,
but instead is tested at least annually for impairment. Any future impairments, including impairments of tangible assets,
goodwill, investments or deferred tax assets, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.
Climate change and related environmental issues could have a material adverse impact on us.
Climate change related events, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods, wildfires, droughts,
hurricanes, freezing conditions, and other natural disasters, may have a long-term impact on our business, financial condition
and results of operation. While we seek to mitigate our business risks associated with climate change, we recognize that there
are inherent climate related risks regardless of where we conduct our businesses. For example, a catastrophic natural disaster
could negatively impact any of our office locations and the locations of our clients. Access to clean water and reliable energy
in the communities where we conduct our business is critical to our operations. Accordingly, a natural disaster has the
potential to disrupt our and our clients’ businesses and may cause us to experience work stoppages, supply chain disruptions,
project delays, financial losses and additional costs to resume operations, including increased insurance costs or loss of cover,
legal liability and reputational losses.
Further, the risks caused by climate change span across the full spectrum of the industries we serve. The direct physical
risks that climate change poses through chronic environmental changes, such as rising sea levels and temperatures, and acute
events, such as hurricanes, droughts and wildfires, is common to each of these industries. Our clients could face increased
costs to maintain their assets, which could result in reduced profitability and fewer resources for strategic investment. These
types of physical risks could in turn lead to transitional risks (i.e., the degree to which society responds to the threat of climate
change). For example, growing concerns about climate change may result in activism, protests, legislation, international
protocols or treaties, regulation or other restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions or that otherwise seek to address climate
change that could affect our clients, including those who (a) are involved in the exploration, production or refining of fossil
fuels, such as our Energy Solutions clients, (b) emit greenhouse gases through the combustion of fossil fuels or (c) emit
greenhouse gases through the mining, manufacture, utilization or production of materials or goods. Such actions could
24
increase the costs of projects for us and our clients or, in some cases, prevent a project from going forward, thereby
potentially reducing the need for our services, which would in turn have a material adverse impact on us. However, policy
changes and climate legislation could also accelerate energy transition, including the development of carbon capture and
storage projects, alternative transportation, alternative energy facilities, such as wind farms or nuclear reactors, or incentivize
increased implementation of clean fuels projects, which could positively impact the demand for our services. We cannot
predict when or whether any of these legislative proposals may become law or what effect will be on us and our clients.
We may also incur additional expenses implementing U.S. and international regulations requiring additional disclosures
regarding GHG emissions. Compliance with such regulations and the associated potential costs is complicated by various
countries and regions following different approaches to the regulation of climate change.
Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors with respect to sustainability practices may impose
additional costs on us or expose us to reputational or other risks.
Investors and clients have increasingly focused on the ESG practices of companies, including practices with respect to
human capital, emissions and environmental impact and political spending. While we have programs and initiatives in place
related to our ESG practices, investors may decide to reallocate capital or to not commit capital as a result of their assessment
of our practices. In addition, our clients may require that we adhere to varying ESG standards. Our failure to comply with
investor or client standards, which are evolving, or if we are perceived to not have responded appropriately to the growing
concern for these issues could also cause reputational harm to our business and could have a material adverse effect on us. In
addition, organizations that provide ratings information to investors on ESG matters may have unfavorable views on us, which
may lead to negative sentiment.
In addition, while we may create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding ESG matters, many of the statements in
those voluntary disclosures are based on expectations and assumptions that may not be representative of current or actual
risks, including the costs associated therewith. Such expectations and assumptions are necessarily uncertain and may be
prone to error or subject to misinterpretation given the long timelines involved and the lack of an established single approach
to identifying, measuring and reporting on many ESG matters.
Risks Related to Indebtedness and other Credit Related Risks
Adverse credit and financial market conditions, including increasing interest rates, could impair our clients', our partners'
and our own borrowing capacity, which could negatively affect us.
Our ability to generate cash is important for the funding of our operations, investing in ventures, the servicing of our
indebtedness, paying dividends and making acquisitions. To the extent that existing cash balances and operating cash flow,
together with borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, are insufficient to make investments or acquisitions or provide
needed working capital, we may require additional financing from other sources. Our ability to obtain such additional
financing will depend upon prevailing capital market conditions, including those arising due to events occurring in our
industry, as well as conditions in our business and our operating results; and those factors may affect our efforts to negotiate
terms that are acceptable to us. Furthermore, if global economic, industry, political or other market conditions adversely
affect the financial institutions that provide credit to us, it is possible that our ability to establish or draw upon our credit
facilities, or refinance borrowings as they mature, may be impacted. In addition, a downgrade in our credit rating could
increase the cost of our borrowings or their refinancing, limit access to sources of financing or lead to other adverse
consequences such as requirements for liens or other forms of financial assurance. If adequate funds are not available, or are
not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to make future investments, take advantage of acquisitions or other
opportunities, or respond to competitive challenges.
In addition, adverse credit and financial market conditions, including increasing interest rates, also adversely affect our
clients' and our partners' borrowing capacity, which could result in contract cancellations or suspensions, project award and
execution delays, payment delays or defaults by our clients. These disruptions could materially impact our backlog and profits.
If we extend a significant portion of credit to our clients or projects in a specific geographic region or industry, we may
experience higher levels of collection risk or non-payment if those clients are impacted by factors specific to their geographic
industry or region.
Our indebtedness could lead to adverse consequences or adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from
fulfilling our obligations under such indebtedness, and any refinancing of this debt could be at significantly higher interest
rates.
Our indebtedness could have important consequences, including but not limited to:
•
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
25
•
•
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to servicing our debt, thereby
reducing the availability of cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments and
other general corporate purposes; and
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, challenges and opportunities, and changes in our businesses
and the markets in which we operate.
Our ability to service our debt will depend on our future operating performance and financial results, which may be
subject to factors beyond our control, including general economic, financial and business conditions. If we do not have
sufficient cash flow to service our debt, we may need to refinance all or part of our existing debt, borrow more money or sell
securities or assets, some or all of which may not be available to us at acceptable terms or at all. In addition, we may need to
incur additional debt in the future in the ordinary course of business. Although the terms of our credit agreements and our
bond indentures allow us to incur additional debt, there are limitations which may preclude us from incurring the desired
amount.
Our current debt and any future additional debt we may incur impose, or may impose, significant operating and financial
restrictions on us. In addition, our credit facilities require us to maintain specified financial covenants. A breach of any of
these covenants could result in a default. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to accelerate payments due. If
our operating performance declines, or if we are unable to comply with any covenant, we may need to obtain amendments to
our credit agreements or waivers from the lenders to avoid default. These factors could have a material adverse effect on us.
We may be unable to win new contract awards if we cannot provide clients with financial assurances.
It is a common industry practice for clients to require us to provide surety bonds, letters of credit, bank guarantees or
other forms of financial assurance as credit enhancements. Surety bonds, letters of credit or guarantees indemnify our clients
if we fail to perform our contractual obligations. Historically, we have had strong surety bonding capacity due to our credit
ratings, but bonding is provided at the surety's sole discretion. In addition, because of the overall limitations in worldwide
bonding capacity, we may find it difficult to access sufficient surety bonding capacity to meet our total surety bonding needs.
For letters of credit, we have historically had adequate capacity under our existing credit facilities, but any capacity that may
be required in excess of our credit limits would be at our lenders' sole discretion. Failure to provide credit enhancements on
terms required by a client may result in an inability to compete for or win a project.
Legal and Regulatory Risks
We are involved in litigation and regulatory proceedings, potential liability claims and contract disputes that may have a
material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to a variety of legal or regulatory proceedings, liability claims or contract disputes. Our operating
activities expose us to claims against us by clients, subcontractors or suppliers for recovery of costs they incurred in excess of
what they expected to incur, or for which they believe they are not contractually liable. We may be named as a defendant in
legal proceedings where parties may make a claim for damages or other remedies with respect to our projects or other
matters, including shareholder litigation. During times of economic uncertainty, especially with regard to our commodity-
based clients, claim frequencies and amounts tend to increase.
In proceedings where it is determined that we have liability, we may not be covered by insurance or these liabilities may
exceed our coverage. In addition, even where insurance is maintained for such exposure, the policies have deductibles
resulting in our assuming exposure for a layer of coverage with respect to any such claims. Our professional liability coverage
is on a "claims-made" basis covering only claims actually made during the policy period. Any liability not covered by our
insurance, in excess of our insurance limits or, if covered by insurance but subject to a high deductible, could have a material
adverse impact on us.
We have received subpoenas from both the SEC and the DOJ seeking documents and information related to projects for
which we recorded charges in the second quarter of 2019 and certain project accounting, financial reporting and governance
matters. These matters remain unresolved, and we have continued to cooperate and engage with the SEC and DOJ regarding
these investigations. If the SEC or DOJ commences legal action as a result of the investigations, we could be required to pay
significant penalties and become subject to injunctions, cease and desist orders and other measures. We cannot predict the
outcome or timing of any governmental or regulatory investigation.
In addition to these investigations, we have also had numerous securities class action lawsuits and stockholder
derivative actions filed against us and certain of our current and former executives and directors.

We may incur significant expenses related to legal, accounting, and other professional services in connection with the
SEC investigation, the DOJ investigation, lawsuits and related legal and regulatory matters. These expenses and the diversion
of our management's attention has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our operations.
We remain exposed to heightened risks of litigation, regulatory proceedings, and government enforcement actions and
additional subpoenas. Any future investigations or additional lawsuits may have a material adverse effect on us.
In other legal or regulatory proceedings, liability claims or contract disputes, we may be covered by indemnification
agreements that may at times be difficult to enforce. Even if enforceable, it may be difficult to recover under these
agreements if the indemnitor does not have the ability to financially support the indemnity. Litigation and regulatory
proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur, including for monetary damages. If we
were to receive an unfavorable ruling in a matter, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed. Such
proceedings can also be costly, time-consuming, disruptive to operations and distracting to management, regardless of the
outcome.
Our failure to recover adequately on claims against clients, subcontractors or suppliers for payment or performance could
have a material effect on our financial results.
We occasionally bring claims against clients for additional costs exceeding the contract price or for amounts not
included in the original contract price. Similarly, we present change orders and claims to our subcontractors and suppliers. If
we fail to properly provide notice or document the nature of change orders or claims, or are otherwise unsuccessful in
negotiating a reasonable settlement, we could incur reduced profits, cost overruns and in some cases a loss on the project.
These types of claims can occur due to matters such as owner-caused delays or changes from the initial project scope, which
result in additional cost. These claims can result in lengthy and costly proceedings, and it is often difficult to accurately predict
when these claims will be fully resolved. When these types of events occur and while unresolved claims are pending, we may
invest significant working capital in projects to cover cost overruns pending the resolution of the relevant claims. A failure to
promptly recover on these types of claims could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial results.
We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery
laws.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions
generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials or others for the purpose
of obtaining or retaining business. While our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws, we operate in many
parts of the world that have experienced corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-
bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We train our personnel concerning anti-bribery laws and issues,
and we also inform our partners, subcontractors, suppliers, agents and others who work for us or on our behalf that they
must comply with anti-bribery law requirements. We also have procedures and controls in place to monitor compliance.
However, there is no assurance that our internal controls will always protect us from the possible reckless or criminal acts
committed by our employees or agents. If we are found to be liable for anti-bribery law violations (either due to our own acts
or our inadvertence, or due to the acts or inadvertence of others including our partners, agents, subcontractors or suppliers),
we could suffer from criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions, including contract cancellations or debarment, and
damaged reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Litigation or investigations relating to
alleged or suspected violations of anti-bribery laws, even if ultimately such litigation or investigations demonstrate that we
did not violate anti-bribery laws, could be costly and could distract management.
We could be adversely impacted if we fail to comply with domestic and international import and export laws.
Our global operations require importing and exporting goods and technology across international borders on a regular
basis. Our policies mandate strict compliance with U.S. and foreign international trade laws. To the extent we export technical
services, data and products outside of the U.S., we are subject to regulations governing international trade and exports
including but not limited to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations and trade
sanctions against embargoed countries, which are administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the Department
of Treasury. From time to time, we identify certain inadvertent or potential export or related violations. These violations may
include, for example, transfers without required governmental authorization. A failure to comply with these laws and
regulations could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the imposition of fines, the denial of export privileges, and
suspension or debarment from participation in U.S. government contracts.
27
Employee, agent or partner misconduct or our overall failure to comply with laws or regulations could impair our ability to
compete for contracts
Misconduct, fraud, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or other improper activities by one of our
employees, agents or partners could have a significant negative impact on our business and reputation. Such misconduct
could include the failure to comply with anti-corruption, export control and environmental regulations; federal procurement
regulations, regulations regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts and regulations regarding the
protection of sensitive government information; regulations on lobbying or similar activities; regulations pertaining to the
internal control over financial reporting; and various other applicable laws or regulations. The precautions we take to prevent
and detect fraud, misconduct or failures to comply with applicable laws and regulations may not be effective, and we could
face unknown risks or losses. Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of fraud or misconduct could
subject us to fines and penalties, loss of security clearance and suspension or debarment from contracting with government
agencies, which could weaken our ability to win contracts and have a material adverse impact on our revenues and profits.
New or changing legal requirements could adversely affect our operating results.
Our business and results of operations could be affected by the passage of laws, policies and regulations. The
implementation of trade barriers, countervailing duties, or border taxes, or the addition, relaxation or repeal of laws, policies
and regulations regarding the industries and sectors in which we work could result in a decline in demand for our services, or
may make the manner in which we perform our services, less profitable. Furthermore, changes to existing trade agreements
may impact our business operations. We cannot predict when or whether any of these various legislative and regulatory
proposals may become law or what their effect will be on us and our clients.
Past and future environmental, safety and health regulations could impose significant additional costs on us that reduce
our profits.
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and health and safety regulations. Our projects can involve the
handling of hazardous and other highly regulated materials, including nuclear and other radioactive materials, which, if
improperly handled or disposed of, could subject us to civil and criminal liabilities. It is impossible to reliably predict the full
nature and effect of judicial, legislative or regulatory developments relating to health and safety regulations and
environmental protection regulations applicable to our operations. The applicable regulations, as well as the length of time
available to comply with those regulations, continue to develop and change. The cost of complying with regulations, satisfying
any environmental remediation requirements for which we may be found responsible, or satisfying claims or judgments
alleging personal injury, property damage or natural resource damages as a result of exposure to, or contamination by,
hazardous materials, including as a result of commodities such as lead or asbestos-related products, could be substantial, may
not be covered by insurance, could impact profitability and materially impact our operations.
We are subject to a number of regulations such as those from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and non-U.S.
regulatory bodies, such as the International Atomic Energy Commission and the European Union, which can have a substantial
effect on our nuclear operations and investments. Delays in receiving necessary approvals, permits or licenses, the failure to
maintain sufficient compliance programs, and other problems encountered during construction (including changes to such
regulatory requirements) could have an adverse effect on us.
A substantial portion of our business is generated either directly or indirectly as a result of federal, state, local and
foreign laws and regulations related to environmental matters. A reduction in the number or scope of these laws or
regulations, or changes in government policies regarding the funding, implementation or enforcement of such laws and
regulations, could significantly reduce the size of one of our markets and limit our opportunities for growth or reduce our
revenue below current levels.
Risks Related to Strategic Plans and Mergers & Acquisitions
We may be unsuccessful in implementing our strategic and operational initiatives.
We have announced a number of strategic and operational initiatives designed to optimize costs and improve
operational efficiency, including plans to divest our Stork and equipment businesses, reduce our ownership of NuScale,
monetize surplus real estate and non-core investments, and rationalize resources and overhead across various geographies.
Our ability to successfully execute these initiatives is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including regulatory
intervention, which may negatively impact the realization of expected benefits. Our failure to realize the anticipated benefits,
which may be due to our inability to execute, competition, economic conditions, and other risks described herein, could have
a material adverse effect on us. Divesting businesses involves risks and uncertainties, such as the difficulty separating assets
related to such businesses from the businesses we retain, employee distraction, the need to obtain regulatory approvals and
other third-party consents, which potentially disrupts customer and vendor relationships, and the fact that we may be subject
28
to additional tax obligations or loss of certain tax benefits. Such actions also involve significant costs and require time and
attention of our management, which may divert attention from other business operations. Because of these challenges, as
well as market conditions or other factors, anticipated divestitures may take longer or be costlier or generate fewer benefits
than expected and may not be completed at all. If we are unable to complete the divestitures or to successfully transition
divested businesses, our business and financial results could be negatively impacted. If we dispose of a business, we may not
be able to successfully cause a buyer of a divested business to assume the liabilities of that business or, even if such liabilities
are assumed, we may have difficulties enforcing our rights, contractual or otherwise, against the buyer. We may retain
exposure on financial or performance guarantees and other contractual, employment, pension and severance obligations, and
potential liabilities that may arise under law because of the disposition or the subsequent failure of an acquirer. As a result,
performance by the divested businesses or other conditions outside of our control could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations. In addition, the divestiture of any business could negatively impact our profitability because of losses
that may result from such a sale, the loss of revenues or a decrease in cash flows. Following a divestiture, we may also have
less diversification in our business and in the markets we serve, as well as in our client base.
We may be unsuccessful integrating acquisitions or capitalizing on investments we make.
In making an acquisition or investment, we devote significant management attention and resources to integrating or
aligning the business practices and operations of companies we acquire or invest in. Difficulties we may encounter in
integrating or capitalizing on investments could include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A delay in the integration or alignment of management teams, strategies, operations, products and services;
Diversion of management's attention;
The consequences of a change in tax treatment;
Differences in corporate culture and management philosophies;
The ability to retain key personnel;
The challenges of integrating or aligning complex IT systems; and
Potential for unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or associated delays, including integration
costs.
Any of these factors could negatively affect us.
Risks Related to our Preferred Stock and our Equity
Conversion of our CPS will dilute the ownership interest of existing common stockholders or may otherwise depress the
price of our common stock.
In May 2021, we issued shares of Series A CPS. The conversion of some or all of the preferred stock into our common
stock will dilute the ownership interests of existing common stockholders. Any public market sales of the common stock
issued as a result of conversion could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our CPS has rights, preferences and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to the rights of, our common
stockholders, which could adversely affect the value of the common stock, our liquidity and our financial condition.
Holders of our preferred stock have the right to receive a payment of $1,000 per share, plus accumulated but unpaid
dividends, upon our liquidation, winding up or dissolution before any payment may be made to holders of our common stock.
In addition, dividends on the preferred stock accrue and are cumulative at an annual rate of 6.50%. Subject to certain
exceptions, we are not permitted to declare or pay dividends on our common stock unless all accumulated and unpaid
preferred stock dividends have been satisfied. These dividend obligations could impact our liquidity available for other
purposes.
If dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for six or more quarterly dividend periods, the preferred
stockholders are entitled to elect two additional directors to our board of directors. In addition, votes of holders of at least
66⅔% of the outstanding preferred stock are required to issue any equity senior to the preferred stock.
The rights of the preferred stockholders could also limit our ability to obtain additional financing, which could have an
adverse effect on our financial condition. The preferred stockholders could also have divergent interests from the holders of
our common stock.
29
Provisions attendant to our CPS deter or prevent a business combination that may be favorable to our stockholders.
If a make-whole fundamental change occurs, we may be required to increase the conversion rate for an electing holder.
This and other provisions attendant to the preferred stock could deter or prevent a third party from acquiring us even when
the acquisition may be favorable to our common stockholders.
If we issue additional equity securities, stockholders' ownership percentages would be diluted.
We may in the future issue additional equity securities to pay for potential acquisitions or to otherwise fund our
corporate initiatives. If we do issue additional equity securities, the issuance may dilute our earnings per share and
stockholders' percentage ownership.
Delaware law and our charter documents may impede or discourage a takeover or change of control.
Fluor is a Delaware corporation. Various anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law impose impediments on the
ability of others to acquire control of us, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition,
certain provisions of our charters and bylaws may impede or discourage a takeover. For example:
•
•
•
stockholders may not act by written consent;
there are various restrictions on the ability of a stockholder to call a special meeting or to nominate a director for
election; and
our Board of Directors can authorize the issuance of preferred shares.
These types of provisions in our charters and bylaws could also make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us,
even if the acquisition would be beneficial to our equity holders.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements.
Results of Operations
During the first quarter of 2022, we determined that our Stork business and the remaining unsold AMECO equipment
business no longer met all of the requirements to be classified as Disc Ops, primarily as a result of uncertainties related to the
timing of this sale. Therefore, both Stork and the remaining AMECO business are reported as Cont Ops for all periods
presented and included in our Other segment.
In the second quarter of 2022, NuScale became a public company (NYSE ticker:SMR) through a reverse recapitalization
with a public shell company. We continue to control and consolidate NuScale.
In the third quarter of 2022, we agreed to arrangements to facilitate the sail away of a legacy upstream project from the
fabrication yard in China. These agreements reduced our exposure to liquidated damages and created partially client funded
incentives for the fabricator. Sail away was accomplished during the fourth quarter of 2022.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Infrastructure business line progressed commercial resolution of various claims
on several projects. A global claim for time and cost relief was submitted to the client on an international bridge project and
agreements in principle for schedule relief were achieved on two other domestic infrastructure projects. These actions
resulted in a reduction of risk related to the exposure to liquidated damages in the project forecasts.

(1) Total segment profit (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that total segment profit (loss) provides a
meaningful perspective on our results as it is the aggregation of individual segment profit (loss) measures that we use to
evaluate and manage our performance.
During the first quarter of 2022, we suspended any new investment in our Russian operations. We have evaluated our
financial exposure through December 31, 2022 and do not believe that, should existing conditions in Eastern Europe persist,
34
we would have a material impairment of our assets. Our backlog on projects in the impacted region is not significant to future
revenue or margin. We continue to monitor the circumstances in Eastern Europe and wind down our existing contractual
obligations while complying with all regulatory limitations placed on new and existing business for projects and clients based
in the region.
While we experienced reductions in demand for certain services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or
anticipated projects during the COVID pandemic, our ability to win work was not materially impacted by COVID during 2022.
Although many of our projects are in a state we consider normal, we continue to deal with the effects of COVID on our
operating results as our estimates are inclusive of COVID effects and client recoveries.
During 2022, consolidated revenue declined slightly due to volume declines on projects which were completed or
nearing completion in the Urban Solutions and Mission Solutions segments. During 2021, consolidated revenue declined due
to volume declines on projects which were completed or nearing completion in the Energy Solutions and Urban Solutions
segments as well as the cancellation of three large projects that were in progress in the prior year.
Segment profit for 2022 was relatively flat compared to 2021. During 2021, improvements in segment profit in the
Energy Solutions, Mission Solutions and Other segments were partially offset by a significant decline in segment profit for
Urban Solutions where we recognized a $138 million charge for procurement and subcontractor cost growth on a legacy
infrastructure project.
The effective tax rate from Cont Ops was 70%, (6%) and (8%) for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A reconciliation of

Our results were significantly impacted by evolving foreign currency rates in 2022. During 2022, the U.S. dollar
appreciated significantly against the Euro, the British Pound and the Canadian Dollar.
Our profit margin percentages, in some cases, may be favorably or unfavorably impacted by a change in the amount of
CFM, which are accounted for as pass-through costs.
35
The increase in backlog resulted from significant new awards booked during 2022, particularly during the third quarter.
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. RUPO includes only the
amount of revenue we expect to recognize under contracts with definite terms and substantive termination provisions.
Impairment
Impairment expense, included in Cont Ops, for 2022, 2021 and 2020 is summarized as follows:

During 2022, we reversed $63 million of impairment originally recognized in 2021 when our Stork and AMECO
businesses were classified as held for sale. The reversal relates primarily to remeasurement under held-and-used impairment
criteria, for which CTA balances are excluded from carrying value.
Gain (Loss) on Pension Settlement
In 2021, we settled the majority of the obligations of our largest DB plan, which provided retirement benefits to certain
employees in the Netherlands, and recognized a loss on settlement of $198 million. In 2022, we finalized the settlement of the
remaining obligations of this plan and recognized a gain on settlement of $42 million.
Segment Operations
We provide professional services in the fields of EPC, fabrication and modularization, and project management services,
on a global basis and serve a diverse set of industries worldwide.
Energy Solutions
Revenue in 2022 increased due to the ramp up of execution activities on a chemicals project in China, recently awarded
mid-scale LNG projects and refinery projects in Mexico partially offset by declines in the volume of execution activity for
projects nearing completion. Revenue in 2021 decreased due to declines in the volume of execution activities for projects
nearing completion and the cancellation of a chemicals project in North America partially offset by the ramp up of execution
activities on a refinery project in Mexico and a chemicals project in China.
Segment profit in 2022 was higher due to an increase in execution activities and volume from new and existing LNG
projects as well as the ramp up of execution activities on the chemicals project in China and the refinery projects in Mexico
partially offset by declines in the volume of execution activity for projects nearing completion. The increase in segment profit
in 2022 was further driven by adjustments to our COVID-related positions on a project. Segment profit in 2021 increased due
to the ramp up of execution activities on the refinery project in Mexico and the LNG project in Canada and the collection of
previously reserved accounts receivable but was partially offset by losses on embedded foreign currency derivatives, the
decline in execution activity for projects nearing completion and the cancellation of the chemicals project in North America.
The change in segment profit margin in 2022 and 2021 reflects these same factors.
New awards in 2022 increased due to a large award for a chemicals project in China and mid-scale LNG projects in North
America. New awards in 2021 increased due to awards for a refinery project in Mexico. No significant awards were booked in
2020 due to the impact of COVID and declining oil prices on our customers' capital spend. Backlog in 2022 remained relatively
flat. Backlog decreased during 2021 primarily due to the cancellation of the chemicals project in North America.

Urban Solutions
Revenue in 2022 decreased primarily due to the completion of three large mining projects partially offset by increased
execution activities on a life sciences project and a mining project in South America. Revenue in 2021 decreased due to the
close out of data center projects in Europe and mining projects in South America and Australia as well as the cancellation of a
rail project and a steel project that were in progress in the prior year periods.
Segment profit in 2022 reflects a $86 million charge for additional rework and schedule delays on a highway project, a
$54 million charge for cost growth and delay mitigation costs on an international bridge project and a $35 million charge for
subcontractor cost escalation and productivity estimates on an automated people mover project. The decline in segment
profit in 2022 was partially offset by a gain on the sale of the majority of our interest in an infrastructure joint venture.
Segment profit in 2021 reflects a charge of $138 million for procurement and subcontractor cost growth, delays and
disruptions in schedule on the international bridge project. The decline in segment profit in 2021 was further impacted by
forecast revisions for schedule delays and productivity on a light rail project but partially offset by the favorable resolution of
a long-standing customer dispute on a road project as well as a gain on the sale of our interest in an infrastructure joint
venture. The change in 2022 and 2021 segment profit margin reflects the same factors affecting segment profit.
New awards in 2022 increased due to a large metals project in the U.S., mining projects in Australia and Greece and a
highway project in Texas. New awards in 2021 decreased partly due to delayed procurement efforts by many of our clients.
New awards in 2021 included a large life sciences project in Europe. New awards in 2020 included a highway project in Texas.
Backlog increased during 2022 due to the new award activity. Backlog declined during 2021 due to the cancellation of a steel
project coupled with lower new awards. Our staffing business does not report new awards or backlog.
Mission Solutions
Revenue in 2022 decreased primarily due to the completion of a DOE contract in 2021, the completion of a contingency
and humanitarian support project in the first quarter of 2022 and the closure of LOGCAP in Afghanistan partially offset by
increased execution activities on three DOE contracts. Revenue in 2021 was flat compared to 2020. In 2021, the ramp up of
execution activities on a contingency and humanitarian support project was offset by the decline in revenue related to the
closure of LOGCAP in Afghanistan.
The decrease in segment profit in 2022 was driven by the closure of LOGCAP in Afghanistan, the completion of the DOE
contract in 2021 and the completion of the contingency and humanitarian support project in the first quarter of 2022 partially
offset by the favorable resolution of close out items on the completed Army Corps of Engineers project. The increase in
segment profit in 2021 was driven by the ramp up of execution activities on the evacuee support project discussed above,
increased execution activity on our DOE projects, higher than anticipated performance-based fees, the release of COVID cost
reserves and the collection of previously reserved accounts receivable and the reversal of the related provision partially offset
by the closure of the army logistics and life support program in Afghanistan. The change in segment profit margin in 2022 and
2021 reflects these same factors.
New awards in 2022 increased due to a 4-year contract extension on the DOE Savannah River Site. New awards in 2021
increased due to extensions on certain DOE projects as well as the award for contingency and humanitarian support for
Afghan evacuees. During 2022, the NNSA canceled a significant management and operating contract for two facilities that was
previously awarded to a Fluor-led team. We intend to re-bid on the now separate site contacts. Backlog increased during 2022
due to the significant award mentioned above. Backlog included $3.9 billion and $445 million of unfunded government
contracts as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Unfunded backlog reflects our estimate of future revenue under
awarded government contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated.

The increase in NuScale expenses during 2022 and 2021 was primarily due to an increase in compensation. 2022 also
had a slight increase in insurance and R&D. Costs directly related to the reverse recapitalization were recorded as equity.
NuScale received capital contributions from outside investors of $193 million during 2021. As of December 31, 2022, Fluor had
an approximate 56% ownership in NuScale. During 2022, Stork sold land lease rights in Europe and recognized a gain of $18
million.

The decrease in compensation expense in 2022 compared to 2021 was driven by $6 million of salary reductions
associated with lower headcount and $10 million in lower incentive compensation for our executives. The increase in
compensation expense in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to higher stock price driven compensation and higher
performance-based compensation including annual bonus projections.
We continue to incur professional fees associated with the SEC investigation. The internal review began in the first
quarter of 2020 and was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Net Interest Income (Expense)
The increase in net interest income during 2022 was primarily due to an increase in interest rates on cash deposits
including at our joint ventures in Canada and Mexico as well as the redemption of $509 million of 2023 and 2024 Notes in the
latter half of 2021. The increase in net interest expense during 2021 was driven by a loss of $20 million on the debt
redemption as well as costs to refinance our credit facility.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our significant
accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on information available through the
38
date of the issuance of the financial statements and, accordingly, actual results in future periods could differ from these
estimates. Significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements apply to the following
critical accounting policies:
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.
CFM are included in revenue and cost of revenue when (1) we believe that we are acting as a principal rather than as an
agent, (2) the contract includes construction activity and (3) we have visibility into the amount the customer is paying for the
materials or there is a reasonable basis for estimating the amount. If we lose visibility mid-project, we cease recognizing
future CFM but do not de-recognize previous amounts of CFM.
Due to the nature of our industry, there is significant complexity in our estimation of total expected revenue and cost,
for which we must make significant judgments. Our contracts with our customers may contain several types of variable
consideration, including claims, unpriced change orders, award and incentive fees, liquidated damages and penalties or other
provisions that can either increase or decrease the contract price to arrive at estimated revenue. These variable amounts
generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be
based upon customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be
entitled upon completion of a project. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable we
will realize that amount. Our estimates of variable consideration and our determination of its inclusion in project revenue are
based on an assessment of our anticipated performance and other information that may be available to us.
At a project level, we have specific practices and procedures to review our estimate of total revenue and cost. Each
project team reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations, which impact the project’s accounting
outcome. As part of this process, the project team reviews information such as any outstanding key contract matters,
progress towards completion and the related program schedule and identified risks and opportunities. The accuracy of our
revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of our project estimates, which can change from
period to period due to a variety of factors including:
• Complexity in original design;
• Extent of changes from original design;
• Different site conditions than assumed in our bid;
• The productivity, availability and skill level of labor;
• Limitations associated with workforce distancing;
• Weather conditions when executing a project;
• The technical maturity of the technologies involved;
• Length of time to complete the project;
• Availability and cost of equipment and materials;
• Subcontractor and joint venture partner performance;
• Expected costs of warranties; and
• Our ability to recover for additional contract costs.
We recognize changes in contract estimates on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the changes are
identified. Such changes in contract estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance
obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. Changes in contract estimates may also result in the
reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate. If we estimate
that a project will have costs in excess of revenue, we recognize the total loss in the period it is identified.
Fair Value Measurements. We are often required to use fair value measurement techniques with inputs that require
the use of estimates and involve significant judgment. These circumstances include:
• Impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles when quantitative analysis is deemed necessary
• Impairment testing of long-lived assets when impairment indicators are present
• Impairment testing of investments as part of other than temporary impairment assessments when impairment
indicators are present
• Fair value assessments of businesses held for sale that are reported at fair value less cost to sell
39
When performing quantitative fair value or impairment evaluations, we estimate the fair value of our assets by
considering the results of either or both income-based and market-based valuation approaches. 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 significantly impacted by volatility in interest rates as seen during
2022. 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.
As part of our assessment of goodwill in 2022, we recognized impairment expense of $40 million in our Other segment.
The fair value of the Other reporting unit was determined using a combination of observable level 2 inputs, including
indicative offers and ongoing negotiations for the related assets.

Litigation and Matters in Dispute Resolution
Item is described more fully in the Notes to Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity arises from available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from
operations, capacity under our credit facilities 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,
cash generated from operations, along with our unused credit capacity and cash position, is sufficient to support operating
requirements. We regularly review our sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to address our liquidity
needs.
During 2022, Moody's revised our rating outlook to stable due to an improving risk and margin profile resulting from a
higher proportion of reimbursable work in backlog as well as our consistent project execution. 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 two notch downgrade from our current S&P credit rating of BBB- and a one notch downgrade from our
current Moody's credit rating of Ba1. If we are required to provide collateral, it would consist broadly of liens on our U.S.
assets.
In December 2022, we announced the early redemption of our 2023 Notes which totaled €129 million for their face
value. This redemption was completed in January 2023, using cash on hand. We expect to address the maturity of the 2024
Notes through available liquidity, cash generated by our operations or via a new securities issue.
As of December 31, 2022, letters of credit totaling $394 million were outstanding under our $1.8 billion credit facility,
which was amended in February 2023 to extend the maturity to February 2026. 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. Borrowings under the facility, which may be denominated in USD, EUR,
GBP or CAD, bear interest at a base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin. As of December 31, 2022 and through the
issuance of this 10-K, we had not made any borrowings under our credit line and maintained a borrowing capacity of $819
million.
Cash and cash equivalents combined with marketable securities would have been $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2022
after the impacts of redeeming all 2023 Notes compared to $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2021. Cash balances as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021 include cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held by NuScale of $338 million
and $90 million, respectively. 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 December 31, 2022 and
$992 million as of December 31, 2021. 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.
40
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 $706 million and $630 million as of December 31,
2022 and 2021, 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 $102 million and $127
million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and
2021, 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 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, 2022, our backlog included $1.8 billion for loss
projects which may have a negative impact on our operating cash flow in future periods.
41
Our operating cash flow for 2022 and 2021 was negatively impacted by increases in working capital on several large
projects as well as higher cash payments of G&A. Operating cash flow in 2021 and 2020 were positively impacted by
significant settlement payments on a cancelled rail project. Operating cash flow in 2020 was positively impacted by decreases
in project working capital. Our operating cash flow is typically lower in the first quarter of each year due to the timing of
payout of employee incentive awards from the prior year.
Investing Activities
We hold cash in bank deposits and marketable securities which are governed by our investment policy. This policy
focuses on, in order of priority, the preservation of capital, maintenance of liquidity and maximization of yield. These
investments may include money market funds, 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.
Capital expenditures are primarily related to construction equipment on certain infrastructure projects as well as
expenditures for facilities and investments in IT.
Proceeds from sales of assets during 2022 include the sale of land and the majority of our interest in an infrastructure
joint venture in Canada as well as minor sales of components of Stork and AMECO. Proceeds from sales of assets during 2021
includes the sale of the North American operations of the AMECO equipment business for $71 million as well as our 10%
ownership interest in an infrastructure joint venture and a building in the U.S. During 2020, we sold substantially all of the
assets of our AMECO equipment business in Jamaica as well as 100% of our interest in an equipment rental business in
Europe. Also in 2020, we sold our interests in two infrastructure joint ventures in the Netherlands and one infrastructure joint
venture in the U.S.
Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in 2022 included capital contributions to a Mission
Solutions joint venture and an infrastructure joint venture. Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in
2021 included a $26 million capital contribution to COOEC Fluor, which satisfied our contractual funding requirements, as well
as capital contributions to an Energy Solutions joint venture and a recently formed Mission Solutions joint venture.
Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in 2020 included capital contributions to two infrastructure
joint ventures in the United States.
Financing Activities
As a result of the reverse recapitalization, NuScale recognized cash of $341 million, consisting of $235 million in PIPE
funding and $145 million in cash in trust, partially offset by transaction costs of $39 million.
In April 2022, we sold approximately 5% of the ownership of NuScale to Japan NuScale Innovation, LLC for $107 million,
for which CFIUS completed its review in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Cumulative cash dividends on the CPS are payable at an annual rate of 6.5% quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15,
August 15 and November 15, upon declaration of the dividend by our Board of Directors. Dividends accumulate from the most
recent date on which dividends have been paid. First, second, third and fourth quarter CPS dividends of $10 million were paid
in February, May, August and November 2022. In January 2023, our Board of Directors approved the payment of first quarter
of 2023 CPS dividends of $10 million, which were paid in February 2023.
Each share of CPS is convertible at the holder's option at any time into 44.9585 shares of our common stock per share of
CPS. The conversion rate is subject to certain customary adjustments, but no payment or adjustment for accumulated but
unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion, subject to certain limited exceptions. The CPS may not be redeemed by us;
however, we are able, since May 20, 2022, to elect to cause all outstanding shares of CPS to be converted into shares of our
common stock at the conversion rate, subject to certain conditions (and, if such conversion occurs prior to May 20, 2024, the
payment of a cash make-whole premium). The most significant condition to our ability to invoke a conversion prior to May
2024 is the requirement that our common stock trade above $28.92 for 20 consecutive trading days, which occurred in the
fourth quarter of 2022 and has persisted into 2023. We estimate that the cash make-whole payment would have been
$72 million at December 31, 2022 (assuming we minimally exceed the minimum trading price to invoke the conversion) or
$64 million (using the average 5-day trading price leading up to December 31, 2022). If we elect to convert, we would avoid
$39 million of annual dividends associated with the CPS. If a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the certificate of
designations for the CPS, occurs, we will in certain circumstances be required to increase the conversion rate for a holder who
elects to convert shares of CPS in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
Dividends on our CPS of $39 million were paid in 2022. Quarterly cash dividends of $0.10 per common share were paid
in the first and second quarters of 2020 before we suspended our common stock dividend in April 2020. The payment and
level of future cash dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors.
42
During 2022, we redeemed $41 million of aggregate outstanding 2023 Notes, with an immaterial earnings impact. In
December 2022, we notified the remaining holders that we would call the remaining €129 million of outstanding 2023 Notes
in January 2023, which was completed as anticipated with no earnings impact for $140 million.
In September 2021, we completed a tender offer in which we repurchased $375 million of 2023 Notes and $108 million
of 2024 Notes, excluding accrued interest. Additionally, we redeemed $26 million of outstanding 2023 and 2024 Notes in
open market transactions during 2021. We recognized $20 million in losses related to these redemptions which was included
in interest expense.
Other borrowings (debt repayments) represent short-term bank loans and other financing arrangements associated
with Stork.
Distributions paid to holders of NCI represent cash outflows to partners of consolidated partnerships or joint ventures
created primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. Distributions in 2022 primarily related to a transportation
joint venture. Distributions in 2021 primarily related to a transportation joint venture project in the United States.
Distributions in 2020 primarily related to a mining joint venture project in Chile.
Capital contributions by NCI during 2021 primarily related to new investments totaling $193 million by NuScale's NCI
holders.
We have a common stock repurchase program, authorized by our Board of Directors, to purchase shares in the open
market or privately negotiated transactions at our discretion. As of December 31, 2022, over 10 million shares could still be
purchased under the existing stock repurchase program, although we do not have any immediate intent to begin such
repurchases.
Letters of Credit
As of December 31, 2022, letters of credit totaling $394 million were outstanding under committed lines of credit and
letters of credit totaling $909 million were outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit. Letters of credit are ordinarily
provided to indemnify our clients if we fail to perform our obligations under our contracts. Surety bonds may be used as an
alternative to letters of credit.
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
December 31, 2022.
Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with
financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate us to make payment in the event of a default by the
borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the
borrower’s obligation.
Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have cash and marketable securities on deposit with major banks throughout the world. Such deposits are placed
with high quality institutions and the amounts invested in any single institution are limited to the extent possible in order to
minimize concentration of counterparty credit risk. Marketable securities may consist of time deposits, registered money
market funds, U.S. agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, commercial paper, non-U.S. government securities and
corporate debt securities. We have not incurred any credit risk losses related to deposits in cash or investments in marketable
securities.
Certain of our contracts are subject to foreign currency risk. We limit exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in most
of our contracts through provisions that specify client payments in currencies corresponding to the currency in which cost is
expected to be incurred. As a result, we generally have limited situations in which we have to mitigate foreign currency
exposure with derivatives.
Our results reported by foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are also affected by foreign
currency volatility. When the U.S. dollar appreciates against the non-U.S. dollar functional currencies of these subsidiaries, our
reported revenue, cost and earnings, after translation into U.S. dollars, are lower than what they would have been had the
U.S. dollar depreciated against the same foreign currencies or if there had been no change in the exchange rates.
43
Our long-term debt typically features a fixed-rate coupon. Our outstanding letters of credit are locked in at credit
spread, not borrowing spread. Therefore, our exposure to interest rate risk is not material. However, in the future, new debt
issuances could be exposed to increasing interest rates.

designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of
the SEC, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of December 31, 2022.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Fluor Corporation
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Fluor Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Fluor Corporation (the Company) maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of Fluor Corporation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and our report dated February 21, 2023 expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in
all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk,
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Fluor Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fluor Corporation (the Company) as of December 31,
2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements“). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(2013 framework) and our report dated February 21, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and
are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether
due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also
included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements
that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex
judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion
on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Long-term revenue recognition on certain engineering and construction contracts
Description of
the Matter
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes engineering
and construction contract revenue over time, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer,
based on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. Revenue recognition
under this method is subject to judgment as it requires management to prepare estimates of total
contract revenue and costs to complete in-process contracts.
Auditing management’s estimates of total contract revenue and costs on certain engineering and
construction contracts which are structured under lump-sum contractual terms and are larger in size
and longer in duration was complex and subjective, requiring considerable auditor judgment in the
evaluation of subjective assumptions related to certain forecasted costs and variable consideration.
F-2
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our
Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls
over the estimation process that affect revenue recognition, including controls over management’s
review of project costs yet to be incurred and variable consideration estimates.
Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the appropriate application of the Company’s
revenue recognition method; testing significant assumptions used to develop the estimated variable
consideration and costs to complete; and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data.
To assess the reasonableness of these estimates, we performed audit procedures that included, among
others, agreeing the estimates to supporting documentation; conducting interviews with project
personnel; observing select project review meetings; and performing sensitivity analyses or
retrospective review using historical actual costs and trends.

FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business
Fluor Corporation (“we”, “us”, “our” or “the company”) is a holding company that owns many subsidiaries, as well as
interests in joint ventures. Acting through these entities, we are one of the largest professional services firms providing EPC,
fabrication and modularization, and project management services, on a global basis. We provide these services to our clients
in a diverse set of industries worldwide including production and fuels, chemicals, LNG, nuclear project services,
infrastructure, advanced technologies and manufacturing, life sciences and mining and metals. We are also a service provider
to the U.S. federal government and governments abroad.
We report our operating segment results as follows: Energy Solutions, Urban Solutions, Mission Solutions and Other.
Energy Solutions focuses on opportunities in the production and fuels, chemicals, LNG and nuclear project services
market. The segment provides solutions to the energy transition market, including asset decarbonization, carbon capture,
renewable fuels, waste-to-energy, green chemicals, hydrogen, nuclear power and other low-carbon energy sources. The
segment also continues to serve the traditional oil, gas and petrochemical industries with full project life-cycle services,
including expansion and modernization projects as well as sustaining capital work.
Urban Solutions provides EPC and project management services to the infrastructure, advanced technologies and
manufacturing, life sciences and mining and metals industries, as well as professional staffing services.
Mission Solutions focuses on federal agencies across the U.S. government and select international opportunities. These
include, among others, the DOE, the Department of Defense, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and intelligence
agencies. The segment also provides services to commercial nuclear clients.
Other includes the operations of NuScale, in which we are the majority investor. NuScale is developing an SMR
technology.
In the first quarter of 2022, we determined that our Stork business and the remaining unsold AMECO equipment
business no longer met all of the requirements to be classified as Disc Ops, primarily as a result of uncertainties related to the
timing of this sale. Therefore, both Stork and the remaining AMECO business are reported as Cont Ops for all periods
presented and included in our Other segment. Further, we remeasured the carrying value of these businesses under the held
and used criteria and reversed $63 million of previously recorded impairment expense during the first quarter of 2022. While
we continue to market the remaining components of Stork and AMECO for sale, it is unlikely that any eventual sales would
qualify for Disc Ops.
2. NuScale Reverse Recapitalization
In the second quarter of 2022, NuScale became a public company (NYSE ticker:SMR) through a reverse recapitalization
with a public shell company, Spring Valley, resulting in the net receipt of $341 million of cash and the assumption of
$48 million of warrant liabilities exercisable for shares of SMR. We continue to control and consolidate NuScale.
Under the reverse recapitalization, NuScale was the accounting acquirer of Spring Valley which held no significant assets
or liabilities requiring fair value re-assessment (outside of cash and warrant liabilities).
3.
Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Fluor Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions of
consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain amounts in 2021 and 2020 have been reclassified to conform to the 2022
presentation. Certain amounts in tables may not total or agree to the financial statements due to immaterial rounding
differences. Management has evaluated all material events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2022 through the filing
date of the 2022 10-K.
We frequently form joint ventures or partnerships with others primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects.
If a joint venture or partnership is a VIE and we are the primary beneficiary, the joint venture or partnership is consolidated
and our partners' interests are recognized as NCI. As is customary in our industry, for unconsolidated construction
partnerships and joint ventures, we generally recognize our proportionate share of revenue, cost and profit and use the one-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
line equity method for the investment. In other instances, the cost and equity methods of accounting are used, depending on
our respective ownership interest and amount of influence on the entity, as well as other factors. At times, we also execute
projects through collaborative arrangements for which we recognize our relative share of revenue and cost.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts. These estimates are based on information available through the date of the
issuance of the financial statements. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Share
Potentially dilutive securities include CPS, 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. For our international subsidiaries, the functional currency is typically the
currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates. Translation gains and losses are recorded
in OCI. Gains and losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into the functional currency are recognized in
earnings.
Revenue Recognition
Engineering and construction contracts. We recognize 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. Engineering and
construction contracts are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance obligation) and are not
segmented between types of services on a single project. Cost of revenue includes an allocation of depreciation and
amortization. Where applicable, CFM, labor and equipment and subcontractor materials, labor and equipment, are included
in revenue and cost of revenue when we believe that we are acting as a principal rather than as an agent (i.e., we integrate
the materials, labor and equipment into the deliverables promised to the customer). CFM are only included in revenue and
cost when the contract includes construction activity and we have visibility into the amount the customer is paying for the
materials or there is a reasonable basis for estimating the amount. If we lose visibility mid-project, we cease recognizing
future CFM but do not de-recognize previous amounts of CFM. Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are
recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed as
incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the client. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project
costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Customer
payments on engineering and construction contracts are typically due within 30 to 45 days of billing, depending on the
contract.
Service contracts. For the majority of our operations and maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized when services
are performed and contractually billable. For all other service contracts, we recognize revenue over time using the cost-to-
cost percentage-of-completion method. Service contracts that include multiple performance obligations are segmented
between types of services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each
performance obligation using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract. Customer
payments on service contracts are typically due within 30 to 90 days of billing, depending on the contract.
Warranties. We generally provide limited duration warranties for work performed under our contracts. Historically,
warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred, and any estimated costs for warranties are included in the
individual project cost estimates for purposes of accounting for long-term contracts.
Practical Expedients. If we have a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with
the value of our performance completed to date (a service contract in which we bill a fixed amount for each hour of service
provided), we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice for services performed. We do not adjust
the contract price for the effects of a significant financing component where, at contract inception, the period between
service provision and customer payment will be one year or less. We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price
F-10
FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by us from our customers (use taxes, value added taxes,
some excise taxes).
RUPO. RUPO represents a measure of the value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress.
Although RUPO reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. RUPO
is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange
fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. RUPO differs from backlog discussed elsewhere in the 2022 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 three additional years if renewal is considered to be probable, while
RUPO includes only the amount of revenue we expect to recognize under ongoing operations and maintenance contracts with
definite terms and substantive termination provisions. RUPO also includes estimates of CFM in those instances where the
criteria for recognition have been satisfied.
Project Estimates
Due to the nature of our industry, there is significant complexity in our estimation of total expected revenue and cost,
for which we must make significant judgments. Our contracts with our customers may contain several types of variable
consideration, including claims, unpriced change orders, award and incentive fees, liquidated damages and penalties or other
provisions that can either increase or decrease the contract price to arrive at estimated revenue. These variable amounts
generally are earned upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based
upon customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled
upon completion of a project. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable we will
realize that amount. Our estimates of variable consideration and our determination of its inclusion in project revenue are
based on an assessment of our anticipated performance and other information that may be available to us.
At a project level, we have specific practices and procedures to review our estimate of total revenue and cost. Each
project team reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations, which impact the project’s accounting
outcome. As part of this process, the project team reviews information such as any outstanding key contract matters,
progress towards completion and the related program schedule and identified risks and opportunities. The accuracy of our
revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of our project estimates, which can change from
period to period due to a variety of factors including:
• Complexity in original design;
• Extent of changes from original design;
• Different site conditions than assumed in our bid;
• The productivity, availability and skill level of labor;
• Limitations associated with workforce distancing;
• Weather conditions when executing a project;
• The technical maturity of the technologies involved;
• Length of time to complete the project;
• Availability and cost of equipment and materials;
• Subcontractor and joint venture partner performance;
• Expected costs of warranties; and
• Our ability to recover for additional contract costs.
We recognize changes in contract estimates on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the changes are
identified. Such changes in contract estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance
obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. Changes in contract estimates may also result in the
reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate. If we estimate
that a project will have costs in excess of revenue, we recognize the total loss in the period it is identified.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed and include unbilled receivables (typically for
cost reimbursable contracts) and contract work in progress (typically for fixed-price contracts). Unbilled receivables, which
represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are recognized as accounts receivable when
they are billed. Advances that are payments on account of contract assets are deducted from contract assets. We anticipate
F-11
FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
that substantially all incurred cost associated with contract assets as of December 31, 2022 will be billed and collected within
one year. Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date.
Segment Reporting
Management evaluates segment performance based on segment profit. We incur cost and expenses and hold certain
assets at the corporate level which relate to our business as a whole. Certain of these amounts are allocated to our business
segments by various methods, largely on the basis of estimated usage or on pro rata revenue. Total assets not allocated to
segments and held in "Corporate and other" primarily include cash, marketable securities, income-tax related assets, pension
assets, deferred compensation trust assets and corporate property, plant and equipment.
Segment profit is an earnings measure that we utilize to evaluate and manage our business performance. Segment
profit is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to NCI.
Variable Interest Entities
We assess our partnerships and joint ventures at inception to determine if any meet the qualifications of a VIE. We
consider a partnership or joint venture a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics:
(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.
We regularly reassess our initial determination of whether the partnership or joint venture is a VIE. The majority of our
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.
We also perform a qualitative assessment of each identified VIE to determine if we are its primary beneficiary. We
conclude that we are the primary beneficiary and consolidate the VIE if we have both:
(a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and
(b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant
to the VIE.
We consider 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 we are the
primary beneficiary. We also consider all parties that have direct or implicit variable interests when determining whether we
are the primary beneficiary. Management's assessment of who is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is regularly undertaken.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist of time deposits placed with investment grade banks with original maturities greater than
three months, which are typically held-to-maturity because we have the intent and ability to hold them until maturity. Held-
to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. The cost of securities sold is determined by using the specific
identification method. Marketable securities are assessed at least annually for other-than-temporary impairment.

Research and Development
We have a controlling interest in NuScale, a research and development operation associated with the licensing and
commercialization of SMR technology. Since May 2014, NuScale has been receiving reimbursement from the DOE for certain
qualified expenditures under cost-sharing award agreements that require NuScale to use the DOE funds to cover engineering
costs associated with SMR design development and certification. Costs incurred by NuScale are expensed as incurred, net of
qualifying DOE reimbursements, and reported in "Cost of revenue". The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved
NuScale's design certification application in August 2020. Aside from NuScale, we generally do not engage in significant
research and development activities.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their
economic lives or the lease terms. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following ranges of
estimated useful service lives, in years:
Buildings
Building and leasehold improvements
Machinery and equipment
Furniture and fixtures
Estimated Useful
Service Lives
20 – 40
6 – 20
2 – 10
2 – 10
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to at-least-annual impairment
tests during the fourth quarter. For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the applicable reporting units based on the
current reporting structure. We may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not
that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If so, we perform a quantitative test, and if the
carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we recognize an impairment loss. Intangible assets with indefinite
lives are impaired if their carrying value exceeds their fair value. Acquired in-process research and development associated
with our investment in NuScale is considered indefinite lived until the related technology is available for commercial use.
Interim impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets is performed if indicators of potential impairment exist.
Such indicators may include the results of operations of certain businesses and geographies and the performance of our stock
price.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in our financial statements or tax filings. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and record a
valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The factors used to
assess the likelihood of realization are our forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could
be implemented to realize such assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income could affect the ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets and could adversely impact our future effective tax rate.
Income tax positions are recognized when they meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Previously
recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized upon such determination.
We recognize potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes as we consider our worldwide taxable earnings and the
impact of the continuing audit process conducted by relevant tax authorities. The final outcome of any audits could differ
materially from amounts recognized by us. We account for the GILTI effects in the period that is subject to such tax.
F-13
FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Derivatives and Hedging
We attempt to limit foreign currency exposure in most of our contracts by denominating contract revenue in 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 monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
nonfunctional currencies and risk associated with interest rate volatility, may subject us to earnings volatility. We may utilize
derivatives to mitigate such risk. All derivatives are recorded at fair value. The change in the fair value of the derivative is
offset against the change in the fair value of the underlying asset or liability through earnings when the derivative does not
qualify as a hedge. To a lesser extent, we utilize cash flow hedges. We formally document our hedge relationships at inception
and subsequently assess hedge effectiveness qualitatively, unless the hedge relationship is no longer highly effective. For cash
flow hedges, the change in fair value is recorded as a component of AOCI and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged
item settles. In certain limited circumstances, foreign currency payment provisions could be deemed embedded derivatives. If
an embedded foreign currency derivative is identified, the derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and the change in
fair value is recognized through earnings. We maintain master netting arrangements with certain counterparties to facilitate
the settlement of derivative instruments; however, we report the fair value of derivatives on a gross basis.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Accounts receivable and all contract work in progress are from clients in various industries and locations throughout the
world. Most contracts require payments as the projects progress or, in certain cases, advance payments. We generally do not
require collateral, but in most cases can place liens against the project assets or terminate the contract, if a material default
occurs. We evaluate the counterparty credit risk as part of our bidding process, our project risk review process and in
determining the appropriate level of reserves during project execution. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses and
generally such losses have been minimal and within management's estimates.
We have cash and marketable securities on deposit with major banks throughout the world. Such deposits are placed
with high quality institutions and the amounts invested in any single institution are limited to the extent possible in order to
minimize concentration of counterparty credit risk.
Our counterparties for derivatives are large financial institutions selected based on profitability, strength of balance
sheet, credit ratings and capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. There are no significant concentrations of
credit risk with any individual counterparty related to our derivative contracts.
We monitor the credit quality of our counterparties and establish reserves for any significant credit risk losses.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock plans provide for grants of nonqualified or incentive stock options, RSUs, restricted stock and performance-
based award units. All grants of stock options and RSUs as well as performance-based units awarded to Section 16 officers in
2022, 2021 and 2020 can only be settled in company stock and are accounted for as equity awards.
All expense under stock-based awards is recognized based on the fair values of the awards. Stock option awards have
grant exercise prices equal to the grant date market price of our stock. The fair value of grants of RSUs and restricted stock is
determined using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant but may be discounted for any significant post-
vest holding periods. The grant date fair value of performance-based award units is determined by adjusting the closing price
of our common stock on the date of grant for any post-vest holding period discounts and for the effect of market conditions,
when applicable. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period, or over a
shorter period when the grantee is or becomes retirement eligible.
We also grant SGI awards and performance-based awards to non-Section 16 executives which are settled in cash. These
awards are classified as liabilities and remeasured at fair value through expense at the end of each reporting period until the
awards are settled.
Leases
We recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months or leases that contain
a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. This
F-14
FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
classification dictates whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.
Our right-of use assets and lease liabilities primarily relate to office facilities, equipment used in connection with long-
term construction contracts and other personal property. Certain of our facility and equipment leases include one or more
options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term up to 10 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is
at our discretion. Renewal periods are included in the expected lease term if we are reasonably certain we will exercise them.
Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. None of our lease agreements contain material residual
value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.
Long-term leases (leases with terms greater than 12 months) are recorded as liabilities at the present value of the
minimum lease payments not yet paid. We use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease
when the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Certain lease contracts contain nonlease components such as
maintenance, utilities, fuel and operator services. We recognize both the lease component and nonlease components as a
single lease component for all right-of-use assets.
Short-term leases (leases with an initial term of 12 months or less or leases that are cancelable by the lessee and lessor
without significant penalties) are not capitalized but are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of
our short-term leases relate to equipment used on construction projects. We enter into these leases at periodic rental rates
for an unspecified duration and typically have a termination-for-convenience provision.

Energy Solutions. The revenue of a single Energy Solutions customer and its affiliates amounted to 14%, 13% and 11% of
our consolidated revenue during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Segment profit in 2021 included the collection of previously reserved accounts receivable and losses on embedded
foreign currency derivatives. Segment profit in 2020 included the recognition of reserves totaling $60 million for expected
credit losses on aged receivables as well as margin diminution resulting from COVID related cost growth.
Urban Solutions. Segment profit in 2022 included a $86 million (or $0.50 per share) charge for additional rework and
schedule delays on a highway project, a $54 million (or $0.23 per share) charge for cost growth and delay mitigation costs on
an international bridge project and a $35 million (or $$0.20 per share) charge for subcontractor cost escalation and
productivity estimates on an automated people mover project. Segment profit in 2021 included forecast revisions for
procurement and subcontractor cost growth, delays and disruptions in schedule on the international bridge project, resulting
in a charge of $138 million (or $0.72 per share). Segment profit in 2021 also included forecast revisions for schedule delays
and productivity on a light rail project, a favorable resolution of a long-standing customer dispute on a road project and a
gain on the sale of our interest in an infrastructure joint venture.
Mission Solutions. Revenue from work performed for various agencies of the U.S. government amounted to 16%, 21%

In April 2022, we sold approximately 5% of the ownership of NuScale to Japan NuScale Innovation, LLC for $107 million,
subject to CFIUS review. The sale did not trigger any recognition of gain or loss because we control and consolidate NuScale
before and after the sale. We recorded $107 million as temporary APIC on our balance sheet through September 30, 2022,
pending CFIUS approval. CFIUS completed their review during the fourth quarter of 2022, and all related amounts are now
reflected in APIC. NuScale received capital contributions from outside investors of $193 million and $9 million during 2021 and
2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, Fluor had an approximate 56% ownership in NuScale.

As part of our assessment of goodwill in 2022, the fair value of the Other reporting unit was determined using a
combination of observable level 2 inputs, including indicative offers and ongoing negotiations for the related assets. In 2020,
the fair value of the reporting units was determined using an income based approach that utilized unobservable Level 3
inputs, including significant management assumptions such as expected awards, forecasted revenue and operating margins,
weighted average cost of capital, working capital assumptions and general market trends and conditions.
The customer relationships' valuation approach utilized unobservable Level 3 inputs including ranges of assumptions of
long-term revenue growth from 2% to 5.5% with a weighted average of 2.4%, weighted average cost of capital of 12% and a
customer attrition factor of 10%.
During 2021 and 2020, we evaluated our significant investments and determined that certain of our investments were
impaired. The fair value of these investments were determined using unobservable Level 3 inputs based on the forecast of
anticipated volumes and overhead absorption in a cyclical business.
During 2022, we reversed $63 million of impairment originally recognized in 2021 when our Stork and AMECO
businesses were classified as held for sale. The reversal relates primarily to remeasurement under held-and-used impairment
criteria, for which CTA balances are excluded from carrying value. In 2021, the fair value of the Stork and AMECO assets were
determined using a combination of observable level 2 inputs, including indicative offers and ongoing negotiations for the
related assets.

During 2022 and 2021, we were in a three-year cumulative loss on a consolidated, jurisdictional basis in Australia, the
Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S. Such cumulative loss constitutes significant negative evidence (with regards to future
taxable income) for assessing likelihood of realization. We also considered positive evidence but concluded it did not
outweigh this significant negative evidence of a three-year cumulative loss. Accordingly, we recognized non-cash charges to
tax expense of $50 million and $10 million to record a valuation allowance against net U.S. deferred tax assets and
$120 million and $42 million against certain net foreign deferred tax assets during 2022 and 2021, respectively. During 2022,
our valuation allowance was also impacted by $74 million on an earnings-neutral basis primarily due to the NuScale reverse
recapitalization.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities worldwide, including such major
jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, Chile, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Although we believe our
reserves for our tax positions are reasonable, the outcome of tax audits could be materially different, both favorably and
unfavorably. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax
examinations for years before 2012.

If recognized, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, would favorably impact
the effective tax rates by $31 million and $30 million, respectively. We had $15 million and $13 million of accrued interest and
penalties as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We do not anticipate any significant changes to the unrecognized
tax benefits within the next twelve months.

FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
One of our more significant joint ventures is COOEC Fluor, in which we have a 49% ownership interest. COOEC Fluor
owns, operates and manages a fabrication yard in China. We made a capital contribution of $26 million to the joint venture
during the first quarter of 2021, which satisfied our contractual funding requirements.
During 2022, we sold the majority of our interest in an infrastructure joint venture in Canada and recognized a gain of
$11 million. During 2021, we sold our 10% ownership interest in an infrastructure joint venture and recognized a gain of
$20 million. These gains were included in Urban Solutions' segment profit.
Variable Interest Entities
The aggregate carrying value of unconsolidated VIEs (classified under both "Investments" and "Other accrued
liabilities") was a net asset of $46 million and $68 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 December 31, 2022 for the unconsolidated
VIEs were $57 million.
We are required to consolidate certain VIEs. Assets and liabilities associated with the operations of our consolidated
VIEs are presented on our 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.
11. Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees
to our clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated and consolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed
contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support project execution commitments. Performance guarantees
have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion to a period extending beyond contract completion. 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
December 31, 2022. 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 guarantees obligation was not material as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
In certain limited circumstances, financial guarantees are entered into with financial institutions and other credit
grantors and generally obligate us to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally
require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower's obligation.
12. 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 pending legal matters when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount
of the loss can be reasonably estimated. While it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred in any of the matters
identified below, including a loss 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. 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 stockholders, employees, and customers, and any such settlement could include
substantial payments.

FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Beginning in May 2018, purported shareholders filed various complaints against Fluor and certain of its current and
former executives in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The plaintiffs purported to represent a class of
shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Fluor common stock from August 14, 2013 through February 14, 2020,
and sought to recover damages arising from alleged violations of federal securities laws. These claims were based on
statements concerning Fluor’s internal and disclosure controls, risk management, revenue recognition, and Fluor’s gas-fired
power contracts, which plaintiffs asserted were materially misleading. In May 2020, these complaints were consolidated into
one matter. Our motion to dismiss was granted in part on May 5, 2021, and as a result the Court dismissed with prejudice all
allegations except those related to a single statement made in 2015 about one gas-fired power contract. During 2021, we
recorded a liability for the estimated resolution of the matter and we also recognized the effects of expected insurance
coverage. In the first quarter 2022, we reached a proposed settlement with the plaintiffs. The proposed settlement was finally
approved by the Court in November 2022 and we consider the matter closed.
Since September 2018, eleven separate purported shareholders' derivative actions were filed against current and former
members of the Board of Directors, as well as certain of Fluor’s current and former executives. Fluor is named as a nominal
defendant in the actions. These derivative actions purport to assert claims on behalf of Fluor and make substantially the same
factual allegations as the securities class action matter discussed above and seek various forms of monetary and injunctive
relief. These actions are pending in Texas state court (District Court for Dallas County), the U.S. District Court for the District of
Delaware, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, and the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.
Certain of these actions were consolidated, and all of these matters are currently stayed.
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 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.
Fluor Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Fluor Limited”), and Fluor Arabia Limited, a partially-owned subsidiary
(“Fluor Arabia”), completed cost reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services for Sadara
Chemical Company (“Sadara”) involving a large petrochemical facility in Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. On August 23, 2019,
Fluor Limited and Fluor Arabia Limited commenced arbitration proceedings against Sadara after it refused to pay invoices
totaling approximately $100 million due under the contracts. As part of the arbitration proceedings, Sadara has asserted
various counterclaims for damages and/or a refund of contract proceeds paid totaling $574 million against Fluor Limited and
Fluor Arabia Limited.
Various wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fluor, in conjunction with a partner, TECHINT, (“Fluor/TECHINT”) performed
engineering, procurement and construction management services on a cost reimbursable basis for Barrick Gold Corporation
involving a gold mine and ore processing facility on a site straddling the border between Argentina and Chile. In 2013 Barrick
terminated the Fluor/TECHINT agreements for convenience and not due to the performance of Fluor/TECHINT. On August 12,
2016, Barrick filed a notice of arbitration against Fluor/TECHINT, demanding damages and/or a refund of contract proceeds
paid of not less than $250 million under various claims relating to Fluor/TECHINT’s alleged performance. Proceedings were
suspended while the parties explored a possible settlement. In August 2019, Barrick drew down $36 million of letters of credit
from Fluor/TECHINT ($24 million from Fluor and $12 million from TECHINT). Thereafter, Barrick proceeded to reactivate the
arbitration. Barrick and Fluor/TECHINT exchanged detailed statements of claim and counterclaim pursuant to which Barrick's
claim against Fluor/TECHINT totaled $364 million net of amounts acknowledged to be due to Fluor/TECHINT.
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 in relation to the extension
of the NTTA’s President George Bush Turnpike highway (“Project”). PLC completed the Project 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 and or negligence. In its initial disclosures as part of the
litigation, the NTTA stated that its damages are expected to exceed $100 million and that damages will be calculated by
experts and provided in the normal course of the litigation. We have answered the petition and asserted claims for, among
other things, indemnity from subcontractors.

Other Matters
In February 2020, we announced that the SEC is conducting an investigation and requested documents and information
related to projects for which we recorded charges in the second quarter of 2019. In April 2020 and January 2022, Fluor
received subpoenas from the U.S. DOJ seeking documents and information related to the second quarter 2019 charges;
certain of the projects associated with those charges; and certain project accounting, financial reporting and governance
matters. These matters remain unresolved, and we have continued to cooperate and engage with the SEC and DOJ regarding
these investigations including discussions with the SEC regarding the potential resolution of its investigation. Based upon our
current assessment, we recorded an accrual in the fourth quarter of 2022 related to this matter, although no assurance can
be given as to the ultimate outcome of these matters, and we are not able to predict whether any legal, regulatory or
reputational impacts of any allegations or resolution of these matters will have a material impact on our results.

We have made claims arising from the performance under our contracts. Factors considered in determining whether
revenue associated with claims should be recognized include: (a) the legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused
by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in our performance, (c) claim-
related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim
is objective and verifiable. Similarly, we recognize disputed back charges to suppliers or subcontractors as a reduction of cost
when the same requirements have been satisfied. We periodically evaluate our positions and the amounts recognized with
respect to all our claims and back charges. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had recorded $247 million and $215
million, respectively, of claim revenue for costs incurred to date. Additional costs, which will increase the claim revenue
balance over time, are expected to be incurred in future periods. We had no material disputed back charges to suppliers or
subcontractors as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, letters of credit totaling $394 million were outstanding under our $1.8 billion credit facility,
which was amended in February 2023 to extend the maturity to February 2026. 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, 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, GBP or CAD, bear interest at a base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin. As of December 31,
2022, we had not made any borrowings under our credit line and maintained a borrowing capacity of $819 million.
Uncommitted Lines of Credit
As of December 31, 2022, letters of credit totaling $909 million were outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit.
Senior Notes
During 2022, we redeemed $41 million of aggregate outstanding 2023 Notes, with an immaterial earnings impact. In
December 2022, we notified the remaining holders that we would call the remaining €129 million of outstanding 2023 Notes
in January 2023, which was completed as anticipated with no earnings impact for $140 million.
In September 2021, we completed a tender offer in which we repurchased $375 million of 2023 Notes and $108 million
of 2024 Notes, excluding accrued interest. Additionally, we redeemed $26 million of outstanding 2023 and 2024 Notes in
open market transactions during the 2021 period. We used the proceeds from the issuance of CPS to redeem the 2023 and
2024 Notes. We recognized $20 million in losses related to these redemptions which is included in interest expense.
In August 2018, we issued $600 million of 4.250% Senior Notes due in September 2028 ("2028 Notes") and received
proceeds of $595 million. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in March and September. Prior to June 2028,
we may redeem the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium
described in the indenture. After June 2028, the 2028 Notes can be redeemed at par plus accrued interest.
F-26
FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In November 2014, we issued $500 million of 3.5% Senior Notes due in December 2024 ("2024 Notes") and received
proceeds of $491 million. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semi-annually in June and December. Prior to September
2024, we may redeem the 2024 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a "make whole"
premium described in the indenture. After September 2024, the 2024 Notes can be redeemed at par plus accrued interest.
For all of the Senior Notes, a change of control (as defined by the terms of the respective indentures) could require us
to repay them at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. We may incur additional indebtedness if we are in
compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback
transactions.
16. Convertible Preferred Stock
In May 2021, we issued 600,000 shares of Series A 6.5% cumulative perpetual CPS in a private placement transaction
involving a limited number of qualified institutional buyers.
The CPS, with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of Fluor, ranks senior to all
classes of common stock and to any other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock that may be established (except in
certain circumstances). The CPS is, however, junior to our existing and future debt.
The CPS does not have a maturity date. Cumulative cash dividends on the preferred stock are payable at an annual rate
of 6.5% quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, upon declaration of the dividend by our
Board of Directors. Dividends accumulate from the most recent date on which dividends have been paid. Dividends of $39
million were paid in 2022. In January 2023, our Board of Directors approved the payment $10 million in quarterly dividends,
which were paid in February 2023.
Each share of CPS is convertible at the holder's option at any time into 44.9585 shares of our common stock per share of
CPS. The conversion rate is subject to certain customary adjustments, but no payment or adjustment for accumulated but
unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion, subject to certain limited exceptions. The CPS may not be redeemed by us;
however, we are able, since May 20, 2022, to elect to cause all outstanding shares of CPS to be converted into shares of our
common stock at the conversion rate, subject to certain conditions (and, if such conversion occurs prior to May 20, 2024, the
payment of a cash make-whole premium). The most significant condition to our ability to invoke a conversion prior to May
2024 is the requirement that our common stock trade above $28.92 for 20 consecutive trading days, which occurred in the
fourth quarter of 2022 and has persisted into 2023. We estimate that the cash make-whole payment would have been
$72 million at December 31, 2022 (assuming we minimally exceeded the minimum trading price to invoke the conversion) or
$64 million (using the average 5-day trading price leading up to December 31, 2022). If a make-whole fundamental change, as
defined in the certificate of designations for the CPS, occurs, we will in certain circumstances be required to increase the
conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert shares of CPS in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
The shares of preferred stock have no voting rights except if and when dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears
and have been unpaid with respect to six or more quarterly dividend payment dates (whether or not consecutive). In such
events, the holders of the preferred stock would be entitled to elect two additional directors to the board of directors. Such
voting rights are exercisable until all dividends in arrears have been paid in full, at which time the voting rights and the term of
the two additional directors terminate.
17.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy 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
We perform procedures to verify the reasonableness of pricing information received from third parties for significant
assets and liabilities classified as Level 2. The following table delineates assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on
a recurring basis:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Our stock-based plans provide that RSUs may not be sold or transferred until service-based restrictions have lapsed.
Generally, upon termination of employment, RSUs which have not vested are forfeited. RSUs granted to executives in 2022,
2021 and 2020 generally vest over 3 years. RSUs granted to our CEO in 2020 vest over 5 years. RSUs granted to directors in
2022, 2021 and 2020 vested upon grant. The fair value of RSUs that vested during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $23 million, $14
million and $5 million, respectively. The balance of unamortized RSU expense as of December 31, 2022 was $4 million, which
is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
The exercise price of options represents the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The options
granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020 generally vest over 3 years and expire 10 years after the grant date. Options granted to our
CEO in 2020 vest over 5 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during 2022 and 2021 was $4 million
and $0.8 million respectively. There were no stock option exercises during 2020. The balance of unamortized stock option
expense as of December 31, 2022 was $2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1
years.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
During 2022, 2021 and 2020, performance-based award units totaling 426,957; 613,868; and 1,156,365, respectively,
were awarded to Section 16 officers. 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. These awards are earned based on achievement of EPS and return on invested capital goals
over three one-year periods, and earned or modified based on our three-year cumulative total shareholder return relative to
companies in the S&P 500 on the date of the award. For the majority of awards, generally only one-third of the units awarded
in any given year are deemed to be granted each year of the 3 year vesting periods. During the first quarter of 2022, the
following units were granted (under GAAP) based upon the establishment of performance targets:

For awards granted under the 2022, 2021 and 2020 performance award plans, the number of units are adjusted at the
end of each performance period based on achievement of certain performance targets and market conditions, pursuant to
the terms of the award agreements.
The balance of unamortized compensation expense associated with performance-based award units as of December 31,
2022 was less than $1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years.
Liability Awards
We grant SGI awards in the form of stock units, determined by dividing the target amount by the closing price of our
common stock at the grant date. Each stock unit represents the right to receive cash equal to the value of one share of our
common stock upon vesting. SGI awards granted to executives vest and become payable at a rate of one-third of the total
award each year. Performance-based awards were awarded to non-Section 16 executives and will be settled in cash.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, compensation expense on our liability awards significantly increased as our stock
price grew in comparison to previous balance sheet dates.
20. Retirement Plans
DC Plans
Domestic and international DC plans are available to eligible salaried and craft employees. Company contributions to DC
plans are based on an employee's eligible compensation and participation rate. We recognized expense of $129 million with
contributions to our DC plans in both 2022 and 2021, and $130 million in 2020.

FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
DB Plans
We had no material DB plans as of December 31, 2022 or 2021. Certain DB plans are available to eligible international
salaried employees. Contributions to DB plans are at least the minimum amounts required by applicable regulations. Benefit
payments under these plans are generally based upon length of service and/or qualifying compensation.
During 2022, we recognized a $42 million gain on pension settlement upon the completion of compensation and other
items associated with our largest DB plan, which provided retirement benefits to certain employees in the Netherlands, which
was terminated in December 2021. Upon termination, the remaining benefit obligations were transferred to a plan not
sponsored by Fluor and we were substantially relieved of any further obligation. Our DB plan in the United Kingdom was
terminated in December 2020, at which point the remaining benefit obligations were transferred to an insurer and we were
relieved of any further obligation. The loss on settlement in both years consisted primarily of unrecognized actuarial losses
included in AOCI and did not impact our cash position. Retirement benefits in these countries are now administered through
DC plans.
Net periodic pension expense during 2021 and 2020 for our DB Plans included the following components:

Service cost
Interest cost

DB Plan Assumptions
The ranges of assumptions indicated below cover DB plans in the Netherlands, Germany and the Philippines and are
based on the economic environment in each host country at the end of each reporting period. The discount rates for the DB
plans were determined primarily based on a hypothetical yield curve developed from the yields on high quality corporate and
government bonds with durations consistent with the pension obligations in those countries. The expected long-term rate of
return on asset assumptions utilizing historical returns, correlations and investment manager forecasts are established for all
relevant asset classes including international equities and government, corporate and other debt securities.

Rates of increase in compensation levels

In addition to our DB plans, we participate in multiemployer pension plans for unionized construction and maintenance
craft employees. Company contributions are based on the hours worked by employees covered under various collective
bargaining agreements and totaled $51 million, $44 million and $38 million during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Upon
withdrawal from a multiemployer plan, we may have an obligation to make additional contributions for our share of any
unfunded benefit obligation, but only if we do not meet the requirements of any applicable exemptions. We participate in a
multiemployer plan in which we are aware of a significant unfunded benefit obligation. However, we believe we qualify for an
exemption and do not believe we have a probable payment to the plan. Therefore, we have not recognized a liability related
to this unfunded benefit obligation. 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 we are not responsible for the
current or future funding of these plans.

21. Other Noncurrent Liabilities
We have deferred compensation plans and other retirement arrangements for executives which generally provide for
payments upon retirement, death or termination of employment. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the obligations related
to these plans totaled $261 million and $324 million, respectively, within noncurrent liabilities. To fund these obligations, we
have established non-qualified trusts, which are included in noncurrent assets. These trusts hold life insurance policies and
marketable securities. These trusts were valued at $234 million and $330 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. Periodic changes in the value of these trust investments, most of which are unrealized, are recognized in
earnings, and serve to mitigate changes to the obligations which are also reflected in earnings.
We maintain appropriate levels of insurance for business risks, including workers compensation and general liability.
Insurance coverages contain various retention amounts for which we provide accruals based on the aggregate of the liability
for reported claims and an actuarially determined estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. As of December 31,
2022 and 2021, insurance liabilities of $76 million and $58 million, respectively, were included in noncurrent liabilities.

24. Discontinued Operations
In the first quarter of 2021, we committed to a plan to sell our Stork business as a single sale of a combined operation.
However, the sale had to be re-marketed in 2022 as a component business. To date, we have only sold the Stork operations in
Australia and New Zealand, which under GAAP must be reported in Cont Ops.
In late 2022, we sold the African operations of the AMECO equipment business for $2 million and recognized a loss on
the sale of $10 million. In May 2021, we sold the North American operations of AMECO for $71 million and recognized a loss
on the sale of $27 million. In August 2020, we sold the Jamaican operations of AMECO for $18 million and recognized a loss of
$1 million. The results for the sold AMECO operations are reported in Disc Ops in 2021 and 2020 and are not material. Smaller
AMECO operations in South America remain for sale.
The remaining Stork and AMECO operations no longer qualify for all Disc Ops criteria and are now reported in Cont Ops.
