As KBR continues building on the strategic plan laid out in 2014, an essential component for continued success is devoting greater emphasis to financial planning and advocacy to the investment community. These targeted efforts are meant to further the market's grasp of the KBR of today, a multi-faceted professional services and technology company, with the unique capabilities to provide exceptional project delivery and service across the full life-cycle of projects and programs in both the government and hydrocarbons markets. With the life-cycle strategy, KBR engages with customers early in the project concept stage as an advisor and continues on through project definition, delivery and ultimately continued operations service, allowing for strong customer engagement in every step.

"Over the past three years we have worked hard to establish ourselves anew in the marketplace, while maintaining a commitment to our mission: to safely deliver any project, any time, in any environment for the benefit of our customers, employees, shareholders and the communities we serve," said Bradie.

"We have taken pivotal actions which have positioned the company to successfully execute our strategy and grow earnings in the long-term, from strategic acquisitions expanding our government services offering, technology portfolio, and our industrial maintenance capabilities, as well as resolving a number of legacy and commercial issues. Going forward, KBR aims to grow profits, strengthen our business acumen and build a high performance culture. With proper execution, this strategy will lead to customer affinity and growth with a predictable and balanced financial portfolio, profitability and cash flow, creating value for our customers, employees and shareholders."

Bradie continued, "As we look ahead, I am confident that we are strongly positioned for new and exciting opportunities. I am proud of all that we have accomplished thus far and I look forward to future success working together as OneKBR."
