PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) today announced its financial
results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 ended April 1, 2016.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Highlights:
-
U.S. GAAP net earnings and EPS of $65M and $0.54, respectively;
-
Adjusted net earnings and EPS of $91M and $0.75, respectively;
-
Backlog at April 1, 2016 of $18.2B, steady at Q1 of fiscal 2016 level;
-
Restructuring – cost reduction initiative delivering strong results –
now targeting annual savings of $240M-$270M;
-
Cash flow from operations of $238M; an increase of $272M over the
prior year;
-
Repurchased 800 thousand shares of common stock during the second
quarter of fiscal 2016 for $30M.
Jacobs reported today adjusted net earnings of $91 million, or $0.75 per
diluted share, on revenues of $2.8 billion for its second quarter of
fiscal 2016 ended April 1, 2016 (U.S. GAAP net earnings and EPS were $65
million and $0.54, respectively). This compares to adjusted net earnings
of $92 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, on revenues of $2.9 billion
for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 ended March 27, 2015 (U.S. GAAP
net earnings and EPS were $82 million and $0.64, respectively).
Included in the Company’s fiscal 2016 second quarter adjusted net
earnings is a net benefit of $0.03 per share related to several items,
including the release of a foreign tax reserve and a one-time benefit in
noncontrolling interests relating to certain work performed by one of
our partially owned subsidiaries; partially off-set by the impact of a
customer bankruptcy and a litigation settlement. The Company's adjusted
net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 exclude the after-tax
costs related to certain restructuring activities that began during
fiscal 2015 (the "2015 Restructuring") totaling $26 million, or $0.21
per diluted share.
Jacobs also announced total backlog of $18.2 billion at April 1, 2016.
Commenting on the results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, Jacobs
President and CEO Steve Demetriou stated, “I am pleased with the strong
operational execution during the quarter, allowing the Company to
mitigate challenges in certain end markets. The strength of our
diversity, our improved project delivery performance and continued
successful cost reduction efforts were key drivers in our ability to
perform in the current environment. The Company’s new line of business
organization and subsequent incremental reporting is enhancing
discipline and accountability, while providing additional insight to our
shareholders.”
Jacobs Chief Financial Officer Kevin Berryman added, “I would also like
to note the sizeable improvement in cash flow and working capital for
the quarter, both of which are indicative of a building momentum to
become more effective in our working capital performance. Finally, our
first half results give us greater confidence to reach our objectives
for the year, and as a result, we are narrowing our guidance for the
full year to an adjusted EPS of $2.90-$3.20.”
Jacobs is hosting a conference call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on
Thursday, May 5, 2016, which it is webcasting live on the internet at www.jacobs.com.
Jacobs is one of the world's largest and most diverse providers of
technical, professional and construction services.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures:
The following tables reconcile the U.S. GAAP values of certain elements
of the Company's results of operations to the corresponding "adjusted"
amounts. For the comparable periods presented below, such adjustments
consist of amounts incurred in connection with the 2015 Restructuring.
Although such adjusted amounts are non-GAAP in nature, they are
presented because management believes it provides a better view of the
Company’s operating results to investors to assess the Company’s
performance and operating trends. Amounts are shown in thousands, except
for per-share data:
