Summary
$1.98 billion in Q2 revenue and $0.99 adjusted EPS both topped Wall Street estimates, but KBR's results drew a negative market reaction.
An 8.7% operating margin, down from 9.9% a year earlier, overshadowed the beats and raised investor concern about margin pressure and earnings volatility.
Management pointed to strong demand in Sustainable Technology Solutions and Mission Tech, with adjusted EBITDA reaching $258 million and backlog rising 6.6% to $17.81 billion.
Full-year guidance stayed intact at $8.13 billion in revenue, $4.05 adjusted EPS and $1.01 billion EBITDA as KBR prepares to split Mission Tech into Trinzic and a remaining New KBR.
