Outlook
We are not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings or U.S. GAAP earnings per share, or a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EPS guidance, because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty all of the components required to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable efforts, which are uncertain and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.
The company is narrowing its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance from $525 - $560 million to $500 - $525 million. This reduction reflects the removal of the previously estimated 2 half contribution from the JV in Mexico. Adjusted EBITDA guidance excludes items similar to those outlined in the reconciliation table at the end of this release.
Business Segments
Urban Solutions reported second quarter segment profit of $38 million, compared with $29 million in the prior-year period, reflecting increased execution levels on mining and metals projects, partially offset by cost growth of $44 million for the now substantially completed Gordie Howe International Bridge project due to the effects of foreign currency fluctuation, a subcontractor bankruptcy and client driven changes. Revenue improved to $2.9 billion, compared with $2.1 billion a year ago. New awards totaled $3.2 billion, compared with $856 million in the prior-year period. Awards for the quarter included a fertilizer project in Canada, an incremental life sciences award in the United States, and an infrastructure project in Europe. Ending backlog was $19.4 billion, compared with $20.6 billion a year ago.
Energy Solutions reported second quarter segment profit of $88 million, compared with $15 million in the prior-year period. Results reflect favorable close out items on certain projects, including our former JV in Mexico. Revenue was $709 million, compared with $1.1 billion a year ago. New awards totaled $704 million, compared with $549 million in the second quarter of 2025. New awards for the quarter included a gas compression project on the west coast and the limited notice to proceed on the phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada project. Ending backlog was $3.5 billion, compared with $5.6 billion a year ago.
Mission Solutions reported second quarter segment profit of $44 million, compared with $35 million in the prior year period. Results reflect improved award fee performance within our DOE portfolio. Second quarter revenue was $716 million, compared with $762 million a year ago. New awards increased to $2.2 billion from $363 million in the second quarter of 2025 and included the reimbursable EPC contract for the Centrus nuclear fuel enrichment facility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains discussions of consolidated segment profit (loss) and margin, adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA that are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Segment profit (loss) is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. The company believes that segment profit (loss) provides a meaningful perspective on its business results as it is the aggregation of individual segment profit measures that the company utilizes to evaluate and manage its business performance. Adjusted net earnings (loss) is defined as net earnings (loss) from core operations excluding equity method earnings and the impacts of foreign exchange fluctuations, impairments and certain items that management believes are unrelated to actual normalized operational performance. Net earnings (loss) from core operations is net earnings (loss) attributable to Fluor excluding the results of our remaining Stork and AMECO equipment businesses that are no longer classified as discontinued operations but that continue to be marketed for sale or that have been sold. Adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings from operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), further adjusted by the same items excluded from adjusted net earnings. The company believes adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA allow investors to evaluate the company’s ongoing earnings on a normalized basis and make meaningful period-over-period comparisons. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from or a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of consolidated segment profit (loss), adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the press release tables. The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of its adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty all of the components required to provide such reconciliation, including the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, which are uncertain and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
