In the event of a cybersecurity breach or cyber-attack, we may experience operational disruptions, financial losses, legal claims, and reputational damage. Additionally, it may take considerable time for us to investigate and evaluate the full impact of a cybersecurity breach or cyber-attack, which may inhibit our ability to provide prompt, full and reliable information about cybersecurity incidents to our clients, regulators and the public. We may also incur significant costs to remediate the effects of such incidents, including costs associated with investigating the incident, repairing or replacing damaged systems and compensating affected parties.see in full comparison

•Contracts with or funded by the U.S. federal government pose additional risks compared to contracts with or wholly-funded by private sector clients.
•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.
•ClimateClimate-related change,events, natural disasters and related environmental issues could have a material adverse impact on us.
•Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders with respect to sustainability practices may impose additional costs on us or expose us to reputational harm or other risks.
•Adverse credit and financial market conditions, including increasing or continued high interest rates, could impair our clients', our partners' and our own borrowing capacity, which could negatively affect us.
The demand for our services is dependent upon our clients' 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, tariffs, slow growth or recession, changes to governments' fiscal or monetary policy and increasing or continued high interest rates), low or volatile oil and gas prices or other commodity prices, political uncertainties and currency fluctuations. Clients have been and remain selective in how they allocate their capital, especially the larger scale projects in which we specialize. For example, 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 and gascommodity prices will be sufficient to justify clients' capital expenditures, and the timing and extent of any future improvements in demand remain uncertain. IndustriesThe servedend by that segment and many of the othersmarkets 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.
The awardingaward 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 (including governmental support), oil and gascommodity prices, environmental conditions and overall market and economic conditions. We maydo not always win contracts that we have bid on duefor toa variety of reasons such as 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, and responsive changes in policy by foreign jurisdictions, have resulted in the past and may result in future uncertainty surrounding the global economy as well as retaliatory trade measures implemented by other countries. The new U.S. presidential administration has mentioned plans to implement tariffs on U.S. imports generally, with higher rates for select U.S. trade partners (collectively, the "Proposed Tariffs"). 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.
•Evolving estimates related to productivity, scheduling estimates or future economic conditions, including with respect to the impacts of inflation and tariffs on lump-sum contracts;
•Failure to accurately estimate the timing and cost of projects, including due to inflation, tariffs, 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, including the Proposed Tariffstariffs;
•Delays or productivity issues caused by weatherclimate-related events or other natural disasters; and
•Changes in local laws or difficulties or delays in obtaining permits, rights of way or other governmental 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, or to satisfy 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 revenue until the performance criteria is achieved. We may also incur liquidated damages if we fail to complete a project on its contractual timeline. 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) 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.
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 experienced personnel can be 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 by 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.
In the event of a cybersecurity breach or cyber-attack, we may experience operational disruptions, financial losses, legal claims, and reputational damage. Additionally, it may take considerable time for us to investigate and evaluate the full impact of a cybersecurity breach or cyber-attack, which may inhibit our ability to provide prompt, full and reliable information about cybersecurity incidents to our clients, regulators and the public. We may also incur significant costs to remediate the effects of such incidents, including costs associated with investigating the incident, repairing or replacing damaged systems and compensating affected parties.
The insurance we maintain that specifically covers cybersecurity threats may not sufficiently cover all types of losses or claims that we might experience, including losses from delays in our ability to provide services to our customers, reputational harm or the costs to improve security against future similar threats or losses arising from the computing environments and systems managed by others.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science and similar technologies (collectively, “AI”), including third-party AI tools, may be enabled by, or integrated into, some of our business processes and solutions. As with many developing technologies, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. AI algorithms may be flawed or biased. Datasets used to train or develop AI systems may be insufficient, of inferior quality, or contain biasedbiased, or incorrect or incomplete information. The use of AI subjects us to additional risk and liability exposure relating to confidentiality, intellectual property infringement, and client use restrictions. Our AI governance review process and self-imposed requirement to implement safeguards before adopting AI may not be adequate to protect against these risks and challenges. Additionally, the laws and regulations concerning the use of AI continue to evolve. If the use or integration of AI systems, or the outputs generated by such systems, were determined to be non-compliant (e.g., in relation to IP or data privacy rights or in relation to the deployment of AI for certain activities or use cases), this may adversely affect us. It is possible that emerging regulations may limit or block the use of AI in our business or otherwise impose restrictions that may adversely affect the efficiency of our business processes or solutions that were utilizing AI technologies.
The safeguards we have implemented, including policies and procedures, governance reviews, technical measures where feasible, and contractual obligations relating to the ethical use of AI, may not be adequate or effective, and we cannot guarantee or control how third parties with whom we do business may utilize AI, which maysubjects increaseus ourto increased risk and exposure relating to confidentiality and information security and information accuracy. If a breach of confidentiality or error or defect were to occur as a result of using AI, directly or indirectly, it could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
•tax or tariff changes (including the Proposed Tariffs) and withholding requirements;
Since October 2024, we account for our investment in NuScale using the fair value option for equity method investments, under which we measure our investment at fair value on a recurring basis using the prevailing price of NuScale's stock on our balance sheet dates. The fair value of our investment in NuScale is subject to the fluctuations of NuScale's stock price, which may subjectsubjects our consolidated earnings to volatility. The price of NuScale's stock has experienced significant volatility since it commenced trading in May 2022, and the volatility may continue in the future in response to many factors, including factors beyond the control of us or NuScale. As a result of the recurring fair value measurements, we may recognize non-cash gains or losses in future periods, some of which could be material.
Contracts with or funded by the U.S. government pose additional risks compared to contracts with or wholly-funded by private sector clients.
We have a significant portfolio of U.S. federal government contracts, including those that we have in place with the DOE and DOD. U.S. government contracts are subject to various uncertainties, including, but not limited to:
•significant delays in funding appropriations, reductions in spending and changes in budgetary priorities that could reduce demand for our services, cancel or delay federal projects, and result in the closure of federal facilities and significant personnel reductions;
•disruptions to departments or agencies (including as result of budget deficits, government shutdowns and federal sequestration) that could interrupt communications with departments and agencies, result in program cancellations, disruptions and/or stop work orders, limit the government’s ability to make timely payments, and limit our ability to perform under existing contracts and compete for new projects;
•oversight audits by government agencies and profit and cost controls, which could result in withholding or delay of payments to us; and
•changes in the federal administration and/or congressional leadership and other policy and economic changes that could adversely impact us.
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.
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. A significant 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. Changes in U.S. government priorities by the new U.S. presidential administration or congressional leadership, or other policy changes or economic changes, could adversely impact us. 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.
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 particular, international operations could adversely be affected by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 's proposed international taxation reform and introduction of a global minimum tax. 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 us. 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.
ClimateClimate-related change,events, natural disasters and related environmental issues could have a material adverse impact on us.
Climate-related events, such as increasedthe frequency and severity of storms, floods, wildfires, droughts, hurricanes, freezing conditions, and other natural disasters, may have short-term, intermediate and long-term impacts on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Our efforts to mitigate our business risks associated with climateclimate-related changeevents and natural disasters cannot eliminate those risks, and we recognize that there are inherent climateclimate-related relatedand environmental risks regardless of where we conduct our businesses. For example, a catastrophic natural disaster could negatively impact any of our office locations and our project locations. 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, theclimate-related and environmental risks caused by climate change span across the full spectrum of the markets we serve. The direct physical risks that climateclimate-related changeevents poses through chronicand environmental changes,issues pose, such as rising sea levels and temperatures, and acute events, such as hurricanes, droughts and wildfires, are 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 changeand environmental matters). For example, concerns about climate changeand environmental matters 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 changeand environmental matters that could affect our clients, including those who (a) are involved in the exploration, production or refining of hydrocarbons, such as our Energy Solutions clients, (b) emit greenhouse gases through the combustion of hydrocarbons or (c) emit greenhouse gases through the mining, manufacture, utilization or production of materials or goods. Such actions could 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 they will have on us and our clients.
We will also continue to incur additional expenses implementing U.S. and international regulations requiring additional disclosures regarding GHG emissions and/or broader sustainability-related factors. 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.and environmental matters.
Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders with respect to sustainability practices may impose additional costs on us or expose us to reputational harm or other risks.
In addition, while we may create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding sustainability 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 sustainability matters. In addition, there are increasing and inconsistent levels of regulation, disclosure-related and otherwise, with respect to sustainability matters. For example, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive in the European Union as well as new sustainability-related disclosure requirements in U.S. states and other jurisdictions require companies to provide significantly expanded sustainability and other climate-related disclosures. Requirements from the SEC, European or other regulators may require us to incur significant costs to comply and distract our management and Board of Directors. We may also face material risks from the potential reversal or modification of these regulations, and reversal or material modification of these regulations could could lead to the loss of time and resources already invested to prepare for these requirements. Many of these costs may not be recoverable from our clients.
Our ability to successfully execute strategic initiatives, including plans to monetize our remaining stake in NuScale, is subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may negatively impact the realization of expected benefits. We cannot predict the trading price of shares of NuScale's common stock and the market value of the NuScale shares are subject to market volatility and other factors beyond the control of us or NuScale, including general economic, financial and business conditions. We intend to complete the sale of our shares in NuScale by the end of Q2 2026, but there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of such monetization process. Unanticipated developments could delay, prevent of otherwise adversely affect the monetization process, including but not limited to financial market conditions.
We have announced a number of strategic initiatives, including plans to reduce our ownership of NuScale and to finalize the divestitures of Stork. 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, and the need to obtain regulatory approvals and other third-party consents, which potentially disrupts customer and vendor relationships. Such actions also involve significant costs and require time and attention from 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.
Adverse credit and financial market conditions, including increasing or continued high interest rates, could impair our clients', our partners' and our own borrowing capacity, which could negatively affect us.
In addition, adverse credit and financial market conditions, including increasing or continued high interest rates potentially as a result to the Proposed Tariffs,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 us.
In addition, our credit facility requires 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.due or decline access to the facility for further borrowings. 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.

“Fair Value Measurements. We are required to use fair value measurement techniques with inputs that require the use of estimates and involve significant judgment for our impairment testing and in measuring held for sale assets. We estimate the fair value of our assets by considering the results of either the income-based or market-based valuation approach. 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. …”see in full comparison
“Revenue declined during 2024 primarily due to a decline in execution activity for several projects nearing completion, a deferral of revenue recognized on a large project due to reduced productivity and lower revenue on our refinery projects in Mexico as well as revenue on inflation-adjusted variable consideration recognized in 2023. The decreases in revenue during 2024 were partially offset by the ramp up of execution activities on 3 chemicals projects.”see in full comparison
Our liquidity arises from available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, capacity under our credit facility and, when necessary, access to capital markets. In 2026, liquidity is expected to be positively impacted by the proceeds from the sales of NuScale shares and the fabrication yard in China. 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, anticipated cash generated from operations, along with our unused credit capacity and cash position, is sufficient to support operating requirements and debt maturities. We regularly review our sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to address our liquidity needs.see in full comparison
“Segment profit in 2025 decreased due to forecast adjustments for cost growth on 3 infrastructure projects related to subcontracted design errors, price escalation, schedule impacts partially offset by the refinement of expected recovery on these same projects. These forecast adjustments of $108 million were partially offset by improved performance on other infrastructure projects, a favorable negotiation with a designer on a separate infrastructure project and the ramp up of life sciences projects. The changes in segment profit margin in 2025 reflect these same factors.”see in full comparison
“Segment profit declined in 2024 primarily due to the initial recognition of inflation-adjusted variable consideration on certain downstream projects during 2023. Segment profit in 2024 was also impacted by cost growth related to schedule delays and reduced productivity on a large project in the late stages of execution. We recognized a positive adjustment upon the negotiation of change orders on the same project in 2023. Further, cost growth on a construction-only subcontract executed by our joint venture in Mexico resulted in charges totaling $66 million during 2024. …”see in full comparison

We continue to see solid client engagement across our markets and a robust and diverse pipeline of opportunities, particularly where accelerated schedules and critical business needs are driving investment. While some clients are pacing commitments due to cost pressures or commodity price softness, our teams are actively advancing engineering and design work so projects can move quickly once final decisions are made. These timing shifts impacted 2025 results, but we remain focused on disciplined execution, cost management, and positioning our clients for long‑term success.
Revenue, profit and operating cash flow in 2025 was significantly impacted by a judgment on the long completed Santos project in Australia. We have appealed the Court decision and we are also working with our insurance carriers to address the obligations arising from the judgment and the costs related to the appeal. We recognized a reversal of revenue of $643 million during 2025, inclusive of committed insurance proceeds, representing the net payment to Santos made in the fourth quarter of 2025.
We slowed our execution activities at our joint venture in Mexico beginning in the second quarter of 2025 through much of the third quarter to minimize our working capital exposure to the joint venture's primary customer. The customer made significant progress payments through December 2025, which allowed us to execute a controlled restart of our project execution activities.
Prior to November 2025, we converted 15 million of our 126 million NuScale voting shares (along with the associated ownership units in NuScale's operating subsidiary) into registered shares and sold all 15 million of those shares for net proceeds of $605 million. We converted the remaining 111 million of our NuScale voting shares (along with the associated ownership units in NuScale's operating subsidiary) into registered shares upon reaching agreement with NuScale in November 2025, including the following general attributes:
•Conversion of the 111 million remaining ownership units into NuScale registered shares on a one-to-one basis;
•For open market sales, daily limitations on our NuScale sales that vary depending on defined blackout dates for NuScale;
•Voting covenant whereby we will agree to affirmatively support the expansion of NuScale’s authorized share count by up to 330 million shares;
•Imposition of NuScale trading limitations on any newly authorized shares through February 2026;
•50% reduction in our benefits, if any, that may arise under the tax receivable agreement with NuScale;
•Modification of our exclusivity arrangement with NuScale; and
•Various mutual releases and non-disparagement provisions.
In November 2025, through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, we entered into a variable price forward sale agreement whereby we pledged and granted a security interest in 71 million of our remaining shares in NuScale, while maintaining continuing involvement and ownership rights, and committed to sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver those shares at the final settlement date in the first quarter of 2026. Through our bank's execution, we completed the sale of all 71 million shares of NuScale on February 13, 2026, generating total proceeds of $1.35 billion. We expect to monetize the remaining 40 million shares of NuScale via similar structured programs and expect that all remaining ownership in NuScale should be sold by the second quarter of 2026.
Our divestiture of the Stork business was substantially completed following the sale of Stork's U.K. operations in 2025. Stork's operations in continental Europe were sold in 2024.
In December 2025, we reached an agreement to sell our ownership in the fabrication yard in China for approximately $122 million. The sale is expected to close in 2026, subject to the conditions in the agreement.
In the first quarter of 2024, we completed the sale of Stork's operations in continental Europe. During April 2024, we also entered into a definitive agreement to sell Stork's U.K. operations, which we completed in the first quarter of 2025. The sale did not meet the requirements for discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024 and will not have a material impact on the financial statements. In the third quarter of 2024, we decided to close our Stork operations in Trinidad and Tobago which required us to take a $7 million severance charge. After completing the wind down of the Trinidad and Tobago operations, Stork's divestiture will be complete.
Beginning in October 2024, based principally on their equity sales, we no longer met the criteria to consolidate NuScale. As a consequence, their results for all periods prior to October 2024 were consolidated, but we deconsolidated NuScale after that date and recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, based on a stock price of $13.15 for our 126 million shares. We recognize the fair value of our investment in NuScale on a mark-to-market basis based upon the prevailing price of their stock on our balance sheet dates, which resulted in an additional pre-tax gain of $604 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. After its deconsolidation, NuScale is included in equity method earnings on our statement of operations.
(1)In addition to the measurements under GAAP, we measure our performance by analyzing trends in adjusted net revenue (and related margin), which we determine by reducing GAAP revenue to exclude at-cost revenue associated with reimbursable contracts for the following elements, where applicable:
•amounts associated with unaffiliated subcontractor project costs that are billed to clients without meaningful markup;
•amounts associated with costs of material that are billed to clients without meaningful markup; and
•costs of CFM that are procured by our clients and which do not give rise to meaningful markup to our billings to clients.
Such at-cost revenue is generally reflected in our project estimates at equivalent amounts within the revenue and cost elements. Therefore, we believe our adjusted net revenue represents the basis for which we earn fees for our professional services. Others in our industry may have similar terms that they use to similarly measure the earnings power of their services. Even though our involvement with at-cost revenue elements as a principal gives rise to their inclusion in our consolidated revenue, the absence of meaningful markup to them elevates the importance of this non-GAAP analysis. During 2025 and 2024, at-cost revenue was approximately $8 billion and $7 billion, respectively (or approximately 53% and 40% of consolidated revenue). Excluding the amounts of at-cost revenue from both GAAP revenue and from project cost yields an amount that we call adjusted net margin.
(3)During 2025, our backlog decreased due to the execution pace exceeding new award activity. We booked a multi-billion dollar award for a life sciences project during 2025. We booked significant positive project adjustments related to scope increases on several large projects during the second quarter of 2025 and scope reductions on 2 large projects in the first quarter of 2025.
(2)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, CFM and pass-through costs as well as other forms of variable consideration. For projects related to proportionately consolidated joint ventures, we include only our percentage ownership of each joint venture's backlog. We do not report new awards or backlog for projects related to our equity method investments even though these awards may be significant contributors to earnings in future periods. We recognize new awards into backlog when we and our client have approved the contract (written or verbal) and are committed to perform our respective obligations. 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 in this 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 3 additional years if renewal is considered to be probable, while RUPO includes only the amount of revenue we expect to recognize under contracts with definite terms and substantive termination provisions. In 2025,2026, we expect to execute approximately half of our ending 20242025 backlog.
(34)Includes backlog of $702$255 million and $1.3$702 billionmillion for legacy projects in a loss position as of December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively.
Revenue decreased in 2025 primarily due to the reversal of previously recognized revenue of $643 million for a judgment on the long-completed Santos project in Australia as well as a decline in execution activity for Energy Solutions projects nearing completion. However, revenue in both Urban Solutions and Mission Solutions increased in 2025 due to the ramp up of execution activities on life sciences and mining and metals projects and an increase in volume on a DOE project.
Earnings before taxes decreased during 2025 due to the same factors that impacted revenue above as well as cost growth on 3 infrastructure projects for subcontracted design errors, price escalation and schedule impacts.
Consolidated revenue increased in 2024 primarily driven by an increase in execution activities on several recently awarded projects in our Urban Solutions segment partially offset by revenue declines in Energy Solutions and Mission Solutions.
Earnings before taxes significantly improved in 2024 driven by an increase in execution activities on recently awarded life sciences and mining projects as well as the completion or resolution of certain legacy projects in 2024, partially offset by declines in profit due to the recognition of inflation-adjusted variable consideration on certain projects in 2023. The improvement in earnings before taxes in 2024 was also attributable to losses recognized in 2023 on the sales of our AMECO and Stork businesses in Latin America. Further, earnings before taxes in 2024 included a foreign currency gain compared to a loss in 2023.
Net earnings (loss) excluding amounts attributable to equity method earnings were as follows:
The effective tax rate on earningsearnings, including equity method earnings, was 103%,39%, 103% and 75% and 70% for 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. A reconciliation of U.S. statutory federal tax expense to total income tax expense follows:
In July 2025, the OBBB Act, which includes a broad range of U.S. tax reforms, was signed into law. The OBBB Act did not have a material impact on our consolidated results.
In 2024, we received refunds of $169 million, including interest, from the IRS attributable to the 2013 tax year that was originally recognized as a receivable in 2020 pursuant to the CARES Act.
Beginning in January 2024, many non-US tax jurisdictions have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate described in the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules, also known as Pillar Two. Pillar Two establishes a global minimum tax of 15% on large multinational corporations. We considered the applicable tax law changes in the countries in which we operate and have determined that there is no material impact to our tax provision in 2024. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes on future periods.
Our results were significantly impacted by evolving foreign currency rates in 2024.2025. During 2024,2025, the U.S. dollar appreciateddepreciated against the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso.
Our profit margin percentages may be favorably or unfavorably impacted by a change in the amount of CFM recorded. We record revenue on a gross basis, including CFMCFM, when we have concluded that we are a principal with respect to such materials and services, though the timing of CFM receipt can significantly impact completion percentage.
We are one of the larger technical and professional services firms providing engineering and design, project management, procurement, construction, operations and maintenance, and fabrication and modularization services.
Revenue increased in 2025 due to the ramp up of execution activities on life sciences and mining and metal projects. The increase in 2025 revenue was partially offset by a decline in execution activity for recently completed projects and projects nearing completion. During 2025 and 2024, at-cost revenue for Urban Solutions was approximately $5 billion and $4 billion, respectively (or approximately 59% and 51% of their segment revenue).
Segment profit in 2025 decreased due to forecast adjustments for cost growth on 3 infrastructure projects related to subcontracted design errors, price escalation, schedule impacts partially offset by the refinement of expected recovery on these same projects. These forecast adjustments of $108 million were partially offset by improved performance on other infrastructure projects, a favorable negotiation with a designer on a separate infrastructure project and the ramp up of life sciences projects. The changes in segment profit margin in 2025 reflect these same factors.
Revenue in 2024 significantly increased compared to 2023 primarily due to the ramp up of execution activities on several recently awarded projects including two life sciences projects, a large metals project, a green steel project and a large mining project.
Segment profit increased in 2024 due to the ramp up of several recently awarded projects, partially offset by cost growth on an infrastructure project. Segment profit in 2024 included an agreement to the terms of a change order on a legacy infrastructure project compared to a $59 million charge for rework associated with subcontractor design errors and related schedule impacts on the same project during 2023. Further, segment profit in 2023 included the favorable settlement of a claim on an international bridge project. The changes in segment profit margin in 2024 reflect these same factors.

Revenue decreased in 2025 primarily due to the reversal of previously recognized revenue of $643 million for a judgment on the long completed Santos project in Australia. The revenue decrease was further driven by a decline in execution activity for several projects nearing completion and for certain projects at our joint venture in Mexico where we slowed our execution activities beginning in the second quarter of 2025 through much of the third quarter as previously discussed. The customer made significant progress payments in the latter half of 2025, which allowed us to execute a controlled restart of our project execution activities. The declines in revenue were partially offset by the ramp up of execution activities on a batteries project in Poland. During both 2025 and 2024, at-cost revenue for Energy Solutions was approximately $2 billion (or approximately 49% and 37% of their segment revenue).
Segment profit and profit margin declined in 2025 due to the judgment on the Santos project.
Revenue declined during 2024 primarily due to a decline in execution activity for several projects nearing completion, a deferral of revenue recognized on a large project due to reduced productivity and lower revenue on our refinery projects in Mexico as well as revenue on inflation-adjusted variable consideration recognized in 2023. The decreases in revenue during 2024 were partially offset by the ramp up of execution activities on 3 chemicals projects.
Segment profit declined in 2024 primarily due to the initial recognition of inflation-adjusted variable consideration on certain downstream projects during 2023. Segment profit in 2024 was also impacted by cost growth related to schedule delays and reduced productivity on a large project in the late stages of execution. We recognized a positive adjustment upon the negotiation of change orders on the same project in 2023. Further, cost growth on a construction-only subcontract executed by our joint venture in Mexico resulted in charges totaling $66 million during 2024. The decrease in segment profit during 2024 was partially offset by final negotiations and handover of a large upstream legacy project which was completed during the second quarter of 2024. We recorded $91 million for cost growth on the now-completed project during 2023. Segment profit in 2024 also included gains of $47 million on embedded foreign currency derivatives compared to a loss of $17 million in 2023. The changes in segment profit margin in 2024 reflect these same factors.
New awards and backlog were lower in 20242025 compared to 2023. New awards booked during 2024 included a full notice to proceed on a downstream project in Mexico.2024. Backlog declined during 20242025 due to the execution pace exceeding new award activity.
Results for the fourth quarter of 2024.2025. Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 20242025 significantlywas increasedconsistent which reflected $33 million for cost growth and schedule extension in 2023 onwith the now-completed,fourth largequarter upstreamof legacy project.2024.
Revenue increased in 2025 primarily due to an increase in project execution volume associated with a construction project for the DOE and hurricane claims administration support for FEMA, partially offset by reduced volumes on 2 DOE projects. Revenue in 2025 also included the recognition of revenue reserves for certain disputed costs on a DOD project and an adverse ruling on a long-standing claim for a project completed in 2019. During both 2025 and 2024, Mission Solutions had no meaningful amounts of at-cost revenue.
Segment profit and profit margin declined in 2025 primarily due to the recognition of revenue reserves for certain disputed costs on a DOD project and an adverse ruling on a long-standing claim for a project completed in 2019.
Revenue declined slightly during 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the cancellation of a project in late 2023.
Segment profit and profit margin significantly improved during 2024 primarily due to the recognition of a $30 million charge in 2023 for cost growth associated with schedule delays on a weapons facility project that is now complete. The increase in segment profit and profit margin in 2024 was further driven by improved performance on 2 DOE contracts in 2024, partially offset by the cancellation of the aforementioned project.
New awards increasedin during2025 were stable with 2024 comparedand included a six-year contract to 2023extend dueour topresence task order contracts awarded underat the AirPortsmouth Force Contract Augmentation Program V as well as contract extension awards at two DOE sites.site. Backlog included $1.0 billion and $665 million and $2.7 billion of unfunded government contracts as of December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. Unfunded backlog reflects our estimate of future revenue under awarded government contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated. We do not report new awards or backlog for projects related to our equity method investments even though these awards may be significant contributors to earnings in future periods. For example, our new awards and backlog does not reflect the Pantex management and operations contract, recently awarded to a joint venture in which we have significant influence but a noncontrolling interest. The estimated value of the contract to the joint venture is $30 billion, if all of the 5-year options are exercised.
Results for the fourth quarter of 2025. Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased due to the recognition of revenue reserves for certain disputed costs on a DOD project.
Prior to its deconsolidation in October 2024, the results of NuScale were presented in our Other segment. In 2025, we completed the sale of Stork's operations in the U.K. and recognized a gain on sale of $7 million compared to an $11 million gain on the sale of Stork's operations in continental Europe in 2024. The results from our Other segment were immaterial for 2025.
Other
Other includes the operations of NuScale prior to deconsolidation and the operations of the remaining Stork and AMECO business prior to their sale.
Segment profit in 2024 includes a $7 million charge for severance expected upon liquidation of Stork's operations in Trinidad and Tobago as well as an $11 million gain on the sale of Stork's operations in continental Europe. We completed the sale of Stork's U.K. operations in the first quarter of 2025. With the completion of the Stork U.K. divestiture, we expect the results of this segment to be immaterial in 2025.
Segment profit in 2023 includes a $60 million negative earnings impact on the sale of our AMECO South America business (including $35 million for foreign currency translation) and a $93 million negative earnings impact on the sale of our Stork business in Latin America (including cash paid to the buyer of $31 million and $33 million for foreign currency translation).

We continue to see strong client engagement across many of our end markets. We recently won several significant awards including a limited notice to proceed on LNG Canada Phase 2, a feasibility study for the Woodsmith mining project in England and a multi-year contract for EPC services for a uranium enrichment facility in the U.S. Additionally, we entered into a long-term agreement with Aramco to support its global capital projects portfolio. The pipeline of opportunities continues to show strength, particularly where demand in energy, commodities and advanced technologies are driving investment. We are closely monitoring Middle East events, other geopolitical factors and escalation pressures and their potential impact on business opportunities and risks.
We continue to see strong client engagement across our end markets and have recently won several front-end awards that could lead to significant full awards in the coming quarters. The pipeline of opportunities continues to show strength, particularly where demand in energy, commodities and advanced technologies are driving investment. Our teams are progressing engineering and design work so projects can move expeditiously once final investment decisions are made. While one mining project in the Middle East has slowed down due to geopolitical concerns, we continue to advance other projects in the region and are well positioned to participate in rebuilding efforts once the hostilities subside. We are also well positioned for global projects driven by energy and commodity diversification as a result of geopolitical concerns caused by the conflict. We are also currently positioning for project work in Venezuela as that market stabilizes and develops.

We completed the program in April 2026 and collected totalfor proceeds of $473 million. Since September 2025, sales of our NuScale shares have generated $2.43 billion in cash.cash, or $2.1 billion after tax.
In July 2026, we sold our ownership interest in our joint venture in Mexico for $175 million, resulting in an estimated third quarter pre-tax book gain of $90 million and an estimated tax liability of $33 million, which we funded during August 2026. We had forecasted approximately $20 million of pre-tax earnings for the second half of 2026 prior to the sale. This divestiture does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations treatment.
Such at-cost revenue is generally reflected in our project estimates at equivalent amounts within the revenue and cost elements. Therefore, we believe our adjusted net revenue represents the basis for which we earn fees for our professional services. Others in our industry may have similar terms that they use to similarly measure the earnings power of their services. Even though our involvement with at-cost revenue elements as a principal gives rise to their inclusion in our consolidated revenue, the absence of meaningful markup to them elevates the importance of this non-GAAP analysis. During the 2026 and 2025 Quarters, at-cost revenue was approximately $2.1$2.6 billion and $1.9$2.0 billion, respectively (or approximately 58%60% and 48%51% of consolidated revenue). During 2026 and 2025 Periods, at-cost revenue was approximately $4.7 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively (or approximately 59% and 49% of consolidated revenue). Excluding the amounts of at-cost revenue from both GAAP revenue and from project cost yields an amount that we call adjusted net margin.
(3)Income tax expense includes tax benefits attributable to equity method earnings of $18 million in the 2026 Period. There was no tax benefit or expense attributable to equity method earnings in the 2026 Quarter. Income tax expense included tax expense attributable to equity method earnings of $757 million and $684 million in the 2025 Quarter and 2025 Period, respectively.

Backlog may include significant estimated amounts of third-party, subcontracted, CFM and pass-through costs. We do not report new awards or backlog for projects related to our equity method investments even though these awards may be significant contributors to earnings in future periods. Although backlog reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. During the 2026 Quarter, project adjustments totaling $1.1 billion included a scope increase on a DOE project and an increase in CFM on a metals project.

Revenue increased in the 2026 Quarter primarily due to a ramp up of execution activities on several large projects in our Urban Solutions segment partially offset by a decline in execution activity for recently completed projects and projects nearing completion. Revenue in the 2026 Period was consistent with revenue in the 2025 Period.
Revenue decreased in 2026 primarily due to a decline in execution activity for several recently completed projects and projects nearing completion as well as reduced volume on certain Mission Solutions projects partially offset by a ramp up of execution activities on several large projects in our Urban Solutions segment.
Earnings before taxes decreasedincreased induring the 2026 Quarter and 2026 Period due to a ramp up of execution activities and the recognition of favorable close out items on certain projects partially offset by cost growth on a legacy infrastructure project. Earnings before taxes in the 2026 Period also included the impact of an unfavorable court ruling on a DOD project and cost growth on a large mining jointproject ventureas project,well partially offset byas the gain on the sale of CFHI.
Net earnings (loss) excluding amounts attributable to equity method earnings (loss) were as follows:

A reconciliation of U.S. statutory federal income tax expense to income tax expense follows:
Revenue increased induring the 2026 Quarter and 2026 Period due to the ramp up of execution activities on life sciences and mining and metal projects. The increase in revenue during the 2026 revenuePeriod was partially offset by a decline in execution activity for a recently completed project. During the 2026 and 2025 Quarters, at-cost revenue for Urban Solutions was approximately $1.5$1.9 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively (or approximately 63%66% and 57% of their segment revenue). During the 2026 and 2025 Periods, at-cost revenue for Urban Solutions was approximately $3.4 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively (or approximately 65% and 57% of their segment revenue).
Segment profit and profit margin increased during the 2026 Quarter due to the ramp up of execution activities on mining and metals projects. The increase in segment profit was partially offset by $44 million attributable to the effects of foreign currency fluctuation, a subcontractor bankruptcy and client-driven changes on an infrastructure project. This project has reached substantial completion. Comparatively, segment profit in the 2025 Quarter included forecast adjustments totaling $54 million for cost growth on 3 infrastructure projects related to subcontractor design errors, price escalation and schedule impacts partially offset by a refinement of our expected recovery from claims against our subcontractors on these same projects. Segment profit and profit margin decreased in the 2026 Period due to cost growth of $37 million on a large mining joint venture project in the first quarter of 2026 and a decline in execution activity for a recently completed project.

Our staffing business does not report new awards or backlog.
Revenue decreased induring the 2026 Quarter and 2026 Period primarily due to a decline in execution activity for several projects nearing completion. These declines in revenue were partially offset by increased activity on a North American refinery project. During both the 2026 and 2025 Quarters, at-cost revenue for Energy Solutions was approximately $314$322 million and $472$522 million, respectively (or approximately 45% and 39%46% of their segment revenue). During the 2026 and 2025 Periods, at-cost revenue for Energy Solutions was approximately $636 million and $994 million, respectively (or approximately 45% and 42% of their segment revenue).

New awards in the 20252026 Quarter.Quarter included a limited notice to proceed on the Phase 2 expansion of the LNG Canada export facility. Backlog declined in the 2026 Period due to the execution pace exceeding new award activity.
Revenue declined during the 2026 Quarter and 2026 Period largely due to a reduction in overall services volume within our portfolio of DOE projects as well as for hurricane support and emergency relief services. During the 2026 and 2025 Quarters, at-cost revenue for Mission Solutions was approximately $358 million and $314 million, respectively (or approximately 50% and 41% of their segment revenue). During the 2026 and 2025 Periods, at-cost revenue for Mission Solutions was approximately $638 million and $525 million, respectively (or approximately 52% and 39% of their segment revenue).
Revenue declined in 2026 largely due to the completion of the contractual periods of performance at 2 DOE projects, one in the Gulf Coast region and one in Ohio. We continue to participate as a minority partner in the new joint venture providing services to the DOE site in Ohio. Additionally, revenue declined due to reduced hurricane support and emergency relief services volume. These revenue declines were partially offset by increased service volume at a DOE site in South Carolina. During both the 2026 and 2025 Quarters, Mission Solutions had no meaningful amounts of at-cost revenue.
Segment profit and profit margin increased during the 2026 Quarter primarily due to improved award fee performance within our DOE portfolio. Segment profit and profit margin declined induring the 2026 Period primarily due to the recognition of a $96$98 million charge during the first quarter of 2026, resulting from the outcome of a court ruling on a lawsuit filed against us in 2013. Segment profit induring the 2025 Period reflected an additional reserve of $28 million resulting from an adverse ruling on a long-standing claim on a project completed in 2019.
New awards increased induring the 2026 Quarter compared to 2025.the 2025 Quarter. New awards in the 2026 Quarter included a multi-year contract for EPC services for a uranium enrichment facility in the U.S. Backlog included $1.1$973 billionmillion and $1.0 billion of unfunded government contracts as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Unfunded backlog reflects our estimate of future revenue under awarded government contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated. We do not report new awards or backlog for projects related to our equity method investments even though these awards may be significant contributors to earnings in future periods.
The increase in compensation expense in the 2026 QuarterPeriod was primarily driven by higher stock price-driven compensation and performance-based compensation. We executed severance programs in several non-U.S. locations during 2025.
Our liquidity arises from available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, capacity under our credit facility and, when necessary, access to capital markets. In 2026, liquidity was positively impacted by proceeds from the sales of NuScale shares and CFHI.certain joint venture interests. 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, anticipated cash generated from operations, along with our unused credit capacity and cash position, is sufficient to support operating requirements and debt maturities. We regularly review our sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to address our liquidity needs.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, letters of credit totaling $413$335 million were outstanding under our $2.2 billion credit facility, which matures in February 2028. This credit facility contains customary financial covenants, including a debt-to-capitalization ratio that cannot exceed 0.60 to 1.00, based upon total shareholders' equity excluding AOCI, 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 $1.1 billion, all as defined in the amended credit facility, which may be reduced to $1.0 billion upon the repayment of debt. Borrowings under the facility, which may be denominated in USD, EUR or GBP, bear interest at a base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and through the issuance of this 10-Q, we had not made any borrowings under our credit facility. We have a sub-limit of up to $1.0 billion in aggregate cash advances and financial letters of credit available to us under our credit facility with a current borrowing capacity of $903 million.
Cash and cash equivalents combined with marketable securities were $3.2$3.0 billion and $2.2 billion as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 $939$806 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and $820 million as of December 31, 2025. 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.
Cash and cash equivalents held by our consolidated variable interest entities (which totaled $336$320 million and $328 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 $10$16 million and $14 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other than unremitted earnings required to meet our working capital and long-term investment needs in non-U.S. foreign jurisdictions where we operate.
In July 2026, we sold our ownership interest in our joint venture in Mexico for $175 million, resulting in an estimated third quarter pre-tax book gain of $90 million and an estimated tax liability of $33 million, which we funded during August 2026.
During 2026, we spent $516$816 million to repurchase and cancel 1117 million shares of common stock under our repurchase program. In February 2026, our board authorized a 30 million share expansion to the repurchase program. Over 2822 million shares could still be purchased under the program as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. We are targeting approximately $1.4 billion in share repurchases in 2026.
Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from our core 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 as well as the payment 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 MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our backlog included $169$119 million for ongoing legacy projects in a loss position, including approximately $181$68 million of estimated unfunded losses associated therewith. The comparable amounts at December 31, 2025 were $255 million of backlog and $212 million of unfunded losses. We expect funding on legacy loss projects to be substantially complete by the end of 2026.
Operating cash flow in the 2026 Period included federal and state tax payments totaling $357 million primarily related to the 2025 conversion our shares in NuScale. Operating cash flow for the 2026 QuarterPeriod significantlyalso improved despite the annual payout of employee incentive awards. The increase in operating cash flow is primarily due to decreases in working capital on several large projects as well asincluded distributions from a large Energy Solutions joint venture and aseveral Mission Solutions joint venture.ventures. During the 2026 Quarter,Period, we funded $55$103 million on a2 consolidated infrastructure project.projects. Our operating cash flow for the 2025 QuarterPeriod was negatively impacted by increases in working capital on several large projects. 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.
Proceeds from sales of assets during the 2026 QuarterPeriod included $124 million from the sale of our ownership interest in CFHI compared to $61 million from the sale of Stork's U.K. operations during the 2025 Quarter.Period.
Investments in partnerships and joint ventures included funding to an infrastructure loss project of $64 million and $85 million during the 2026 Period and 2025 Period, respectively. During the 2025 Period, we also paid $33 million to a different infrastructure joint venture for a legal settlement.
Investments in partnerships and joint ventures in the 2026 Quarter included $32 million in funding on a proportionately consolidated loss project for an infrastructure joint venture compared to $55 million during the 2025 Quarter.
We have an ongoing stock repurchase program, authorized by our Board of Directors, to purchase shares in the open market or privately negotiated transactions at our discretion. During the 2026 Quarter,Period, we repurchased 1117 million shares of common stock under the repurchase program for total consideration of $516$816 million. Since we restarted the program in the fourth quarter of 2024, a total of 3238 million shares have been purchased for $1.4$1.7 billion.billion through June 2026.
Capital contributions by NCI represent cash inflows from partners of consolidated partnership or joint ventures created primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. Capital contributions by NCI during the 2026 QuarterPeriod related to an infrastructure joint venture.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, letters of credit totaling $413$335 million were outstanding under committed lines of credit. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, letters of credit totaling $851$762 million were outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit including letters of credit totaling $343$97 million for two lump-sum projects in Kuwait that are substantially complete except for the resolution of unapproved change orders and extension of time claims. 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.
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 $13$12 billion as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
