Forward-Looking Information
From time to time, Fluor® Corporation makes certain comments and disclosures in reports and statements, including this 2020 10-K, or statements are made by its officers or directors, that, while based on reasonable assumptions, may be forward-looking in nature. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, a "safe harbor" may be provided to us for certain of these forward-looking statements. We caution readers that forward-looking statements, including disclosures which use words such as "will, "may," "could," "should" "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "continue" and similar statements are subject to various future risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from expectations.
Any forward-looking statements that we may make are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those anticipated by us. Any forward-looking statements are subject to the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results of operations, financial condition, cost reductions, acquisitions, dispositions, financing transactions, operations,

expansion, consolidation and other events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
We are subject to known risks and to potentially unknown risks. While most risks affect only future cost or revenue anticipated by us, some risks may relate to accruals that have already been reflected in earnings. Our failure to receive payments of expected amounts or the incurrence of liabilities in excess of amounts recorded, could result in charges against future earnings. As a result, the reader is cautioned to recognize and consider the inherently uncertain nature of forward-looking statements and not to place undue reliance on them.
These factors include those referenced or described in this 2020 10-K (including in "Item 1A. — Risk Factors"). We cannot control all risks and uncertainties, and in many cases, we cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. You should consider these risks and uncertainties when you are evaluating us and deciding whether to invest in our securities.

Table of Contents
PART I
Item 1. Business
Fluor Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in September, 2000. However, through our predecessors, we have been in business for over a century.
Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "FLR".
Fluor Corporation is a holding company that owns a number of subsidiaries, as well as interests in joint ventures. Acting through these entities, we are one of the largest professional services firms providing engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and modularization, operations, maintenance and asset integrity, as well as project management services, on a global basis. We provide th ese services to our clients in a diverse set of industries worldwide including oil and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, mining and metals, infrastructure, life sciences, advanced manufacturing and advanced technologies. We are also a service provider to the U.S. federal government and governments abroad; and, we perform operations, maintenance and asset integrity activities globally for major industrial clients.
At December 31, 2020, we operated our business through six principal segments. The six segments were: Energy & Chemicals; Mining & Industrial; Infrastructure & Power; Government; Diversified Services; and Other. Fluor Constructors International, Inc., which is organized and operates separately from the rest of our business, provides unionized management and construction services in the United States and Canada, both independently and as a subcontractor on projects in each of our segments.
In January 2021, we introduced our new strategy, "Building a Better Future" during a Strategy Day event with investors. At our Strategy Day, we outlined four strategic priorities for driving value creation for our shareholders:
•Drive growth across our portfolio, by growing markets outside of the traditional oil and gas sector, including energy transition, advanced technology and life sciences, high-demand metals, infrastructure and mission solutions;
•Pursue contracts with fair and balanced commercial terms that reward value, with a bias towards reimbursable contracts;
•Reinforce financial discipline, maintaining a solid balance sheet by generating predictable cash flow and earnings; and
•Foster a high-performance culture with purpose, by advancing our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and promoting social progress and sustainability.
Competitive Strengths
As a world-class provider of our services, we believe that we bring capital efficient business solutions that combine excellence in execution, safety, cost containment and experience to our clients. In that regard, we believe that our business strengths and global positioning provide us with significant competitive advantages:
Safety. One of our core values is our constant focus on safety. Maintaining a safe and secure workplace is a key business driver for us and our clients. In our experience, whether in an office or at a jobsite, a safe environment decreases risks, assures a proper environment for all workers, enhances morale, improves productivity, reduces project cost and generally improves client relations. We believe that our commitment to safety is one of our most distinguishing features.
Global Execution Platform. As one of the larger publicly-traded EPC companies, we have a global footprint with employees situated throughout the world. Our global presence allows us to build local relationships to capitalize on opportunities near these locations. We believe it also allows us to mobilize quickly to project sites around the world and to draw on our local knowledge and talent pools. We continue to form strategic alliances with local partners, leverage our supply chain expertise and emphasize local training programs. We also provide services from our distributed execution centers on a cost-efficient basis.
Excellence in Execution. We believe that our ability to execute, maintain and manage complex projects, often in geographically challenging locations, gives us a distinct competitive advantage. We strive to complete our projects meeting or exceeding all client specifications. We have continued to shift to ward data-driven execution, which we expect will enhance our ability to meet our clients' needs.
Market Diversity. We serve multiple markets across a broad spectrum of industries around the globe. We feel that our market diversity helps to mitigate the impact of the cyclicality in the markets we serve. Just as important, our concentrated
3

Table of Contents
attention on market diversification should allow us to achieve more consistent growth and deliver solid financial returns. We believe that maintaining a good mixture within our entire business portfolio permits us to both focus on our more stable business markets and to capitalize on cyclical markets when the timing is appropriate.
Client Relationships. We actively pursue relationships with new clients while also building on our long-term relationships with existing clients. We believe that long-term relationships with existing clients serve us well by allowing us to better understand and be more responsive to their requirements. Regardless of whether our clients are new or have been with us for many decades, our ability to successfully foster relationships is a key strength.
Risk Management. In combination with our new pursuit criteria and guidelines we believe we have enhanced our ability to assess, mitigate and manage project risk, especially in difficult locations or circumstances. We have an experienced management team, and utilize a systematic and disciplined approach towards identifying, assessing and managing risks. We believe that our risk management approach helps us control costs and meet clients' schedules.
General Operations
Our services fall into six broad categories (outlined below). Our services can range from basic consulting activities, often at the early stages of a project, to complete design-build, operations and maintenance contracts.
•In engineering and design, we develop solutions to address our clients’ most complex problems. Our engineering services range from traditional engineering disciplines such as piping, mechanical, electrical, control systems, civil, structural and architectural to advanced engineering specialties including process engineering, chemical engineering, simulation, integrated automation processes and interactive 3-D modeling. Through our design solutions, we can provide clients with varied offerings which can include front-end engineering, conceptual design, estimating, feasibility studies, permitting, process simulation, technology and licensing evaluation, scope definition and siting.
•Our procurement offerings include procurement and supply chain solutions aimed at improving product quality and performance while also reducing project cost and schedule. Our clients draw upon our global sourcing and supply expertise, global purchasing power, technical knowledge, processes, systems and experienced global resources. Our procurement activities include strategic sourcing, material management, contracts management, buying, expediting, supplier quality inspection and logistics.
•In construction, we mobilize, execute, commission and demobilize projects on a self-perform or subcontracted basis. Generally, we are responsible for the completion of a project, often in difficult locations and under challenging circumstances. We are frequently designated as a program manager, and serve as such without regard to whether the client has facilities in multiple locations, complex phases in a single project location, or a large-scale investment in a facility.
•We also provide a variety of fabrication and modularization services, including integrated engineering and modular fabrication and assembly, as well as modular construction and asset support services to clients around the globe from our joint venture yards. By operating our own fabrication yards in key regions of the world, our off-site fabrication solutions can help our clients achieve cost and schedule savings by reducing on-site craft needs and shifting work to inherently safer and more controlled work environments.
•We offer operations, maintenance and asset integrity services intended to improve the performance and extend the life of our clients’ facilities. This may include the global delivery of total maintenance services, facility management, plant readiness, commissioning, start-up and maintenance technology, small capital projects, and turnaround and outage services. Among other things, we can provide key management, staffing and management skills to clients on-site at their facilities. These activities also include routine and outage/turnaround maintenance services, general maintenance and asset management, emissions reduction technologies and services, and restorative, repair, predictive and prevention services.
•Project management involves managing all aspects of the effort to deliver projects on schedule and within budget, and is critical on every project. We are often hired as the overall program manager on large complex projects where various contractors and subcontractors are involved and multiple activities need to be integrated to ensure the success of the overall project. Our services include logistics, development of project execution plans, detailed schedules, cost forecasts, progress tracking and reporting, and the integration of EPC efforts. Project management is accountable to the client to deliver the safety, functionality and financial performance requirements of the project.

Business Segments (as of December 31, 2020)
Energy & Chemicals
Our Energy & Chemicals segment focuses on opportunities in the upstream, midstream, downstream, chemical, petrochemical, offshore and onshore oil and gas production, LNG and pipeline markets. We have long served a broad spectrum of industries offering a full range of design, engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and project management services. While we perform projects that range greatly in size and scope, we believe that one of our distinguishing features is that we are one of the few companies that have the global strength and experience to perform extremely large projects in difficult locations. As the locations of large scale energy and chemicals projects have become more challenging geographically, geopolitically or otherwise, we believe that clients will continue to look to us based upon our size, strength, global reach, experience and track record to manage their complex projects.
With each specific project, our role can vary. We may be involved in providing front-end engineering, program management and final design services, construction management services, self-perform construction, or oversight of other contractors, and we may also assume responsibility for the procurement of materials, equipment and subcontractors. We have the capacity to design, fabricate and construct new facilities, upgrade, modernize and expand existing facilities, and rebuild facilities following fires and explosions. We also provide consulting services ranging from feasibility studies to process assessments to project finance structuring and studies.
In the upstream sector, our clients need to develop additional and new sources of supply. Our typical projects in the upstream sector revolve around the production, processing and transporting of oil and gas resources, including the development of infrastructure associated with major new fields and pipelines. We are also involved in offshore production facilities and in conventional and unconventional gas projects in various geographic locations.
In the downstream sector, our clients have been modernizing and modifying existing refineries to increase capacity, improve margins and improve environmental performance. We continue to play a key role in each of these markets. We are also focused on sustainable markets, such as clean fuels, green energy and carbon sequestration, where an increasing number of clients and countries are implementing stronger environmental standards and goals.
We have been very active for several decades in the chemicals and petrochemicals market, with major projects involving the expansion of ethylene-based derivatives as well as specialty chemicals. The most active markets have been in the United States, Middle East and Asia, where there is significant demand for chemical products.
Mining & Industrial
The Mining & Industrial segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction and project management services to the mining and metals, life sciences, advanced manufacturing and advanced technologies sectors.
In mining and metals, we provide a full range of services to our clients who produce a variety of commodities, including bauxite, copper, gold, iron ore, diamond, nickel, alumina, aluminum and phosphates. Our services include conceptual and feasibility studies through detailed engineering, design, procurement, construction, commissioning and startup support. Many of these opportunities are being developed in remote and logistically challenging environments, such as the Andes Mountains, Western Australia and Africa. We believe we are one of the few companies with the size, regional presence and experience to execute large scale mining and metals projects in these difficult and remote locations.
For the advanced manufacturing and technologies market, we provide design, engineering, procurement, construction and construction management services to a wide variety of industries on a global basis. We specialize in designing projects that incorporate lean manufacturing concepts while also satisfying client sustainability goals. Our experience spans a wide variety of market segments ranging from traditional manufacturing to advanced technology projects, such as data centers.
In life sciences, we provide design, engineering, procurement, construction and construction management services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. We also specialize in providing validation and commissioning services where we not only bring new facilities into production, but we also keep existing facilities operating. We believe the ability to complete projects on a large scale basis, especially in a business where time to market is critical, enables us to better serve our clients and is a key competitive advantage.
Infrastructure & Power
The Infrastructure & Power segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction and project management services to the infrastructure sector.
5

Table of Contents
We are an industry leader in developing infrastructure projects such as roads, highways, bridges and rail for governments, with particular interest in large, complex projects. We provide a broad range of services including consulting, design, planning, financial structuring, engineering and construction. We also provide long-term operation and maintenance services for transit and highway projects. Our projects may involve the use of public/private partnerships, which allow us to develop and finance deals in concert with public entities for projects such as toll roads and rail lines that would not have otherwise been undertaken with public funding alone. The replacement and expansion of aging infrastructure in North America continues to drive project opportunities.
Historically, we have also offered a full range of services including engineering, procurement, construction, program management, startup and commissioning and technical services to utilities, independent power producers, original equipment manufacturers and other third parties.
Government
The Government segment provides engineering and construction services, logistics and life-support, as well as contingency operations support, to the defense sector. We support military logistical and infrastructure needs around the world, including life-support, engineering, procurement, construction and logistical augmentation services to the U.S. military and coalition forces in various international locations. This segment also provides full life-cycle infrastructure support to the U.S. intelligence community globally.
The Government segment also provides support to the U.S. Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration that includes management, mission operations, environmental remediation, decommissioning, engineering and construction services that address the many environmental and regulatory challenges associated with legacy and operational nuclear sites.
We also provide support to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This includes supporting the U.S. government’s rapid response capabilities to address security issues and disaster relief, the latter primarily through our long-standing relationship with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and in support of the Army Corps of Engineers.
Diversified Services
The Diversified Services segment provides a wide array of asset maintenance, asset integrity and staffing services. These services are provided around the world during both the project delivery phase as well as to new or existing client production assets.
Through our subsidiary, Stork, we provide asset maintenance and asset integrity services to the oil and gas, chemicals, life sciences, power, mining and metals, consumer products and manufacturing industries. We focus on asset management solutions, as well as providing asset services in areas such as electrical, instrumentation, mechanical and piping. We also provide asset integrity services, including new asset readiness solutions, inspection of existing assets, and asset turnaround and modification solutions. This business, driven by our clients' annual operating expenditures, often benefits from large projects that originate in another of our segments, which can lead to long-term operations or maintenance opportunities. Our long-term maintenance contracts can also lead to larger capital projects for our other business segments when those needs arise. Our goal is to help clients improve the performance of their assets, including late-life management solutions. In the first quarter of 2021, we announced a plan to sell Stork, which we expect will be reported as a discontinued operation beginning with the first quarter of 2021.
The segment's staffing services are provided through TRS Staffing Solutions®. TRS is a global enterprise of staffing specialists that provides the company and third party clients with technical, professional and craft resources either on a contract or permanent placement basis.
Other
Our Other segment includes the financial information for NuScale, as well as two lump-sum projects for which the U.S. government is either the client or ultimate client.
NuScale, a small modular nuclear reactor (“SMR”) technology company, is a leader in the development of light water, passively safe SMRs, which we believe will provide us with significant future project opportunities. NuScale received final design certification by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in August 2020.

Discontinued Operations
In the third quarter of 2019, we implemented a number of strategic initiatives and organizational changes to strengthen our financial position and improve operational performance. Among those initiatives, we committed to a plan to sell substantially all of our AMECO business, which is reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
AMECO provides integrated construction equipment, tool, scaffolding and fleet service solutions to the company and third party clients in a focused number of locations around the world for construction projects and client production assets.
Business Segments (as of January 1, 2021)
At December 31, 2020, we operated our business through six principal business segments described above. In the first quarter of 2021, we announced an updated organizational and reporting structure. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, we will operate through three business segments: Energy Solutions, Urban Solutions and Mission Solutions. Energy Solutions will focus on energy transition, chemicals and traditional oil and gas opportunities. Urban Solutions will focus on mining, metals, advanced technologies, manufacturing, life sciences, infrastructure and our professional staffing services. Mission Solutions will focus on delivering solutions to federal agencies across the U.S. government and to select international opportunities.
Other Matters
Backlog
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 and pass-through costs.
Backlog in the engineering and construction industry is a measure of the value of work to be performed on contracts already awarded and those in progress.

Table of Contents
Although backlog reflects business that we consider 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. The terms and conditions of some contracts include elements of both lump-sum and reimbursable contracts. Also, certain contracts may be converted from reimbursable to lump-sum. Due to additional factors outside of our control, such as changes in project schedules, we cannot accurately predict the exact timing that our December 31, 2020 backlog will be earned as revenue. Accordingly, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future earnings or revenues and no assurances can be provided that we will ultimately realize revenue on our backlog.
The following table sets forth our changes in consolidated backlog:

| 2020 |  | 2019
| (in millions)
Backlog at beginning of year | $ | 31,934 |  |  | $ | 40,051 |
New awards | 9,005 |  |  | 12,563 |
Adjustments and cancellations, net(1) | 188 |  |  | (3,583) |
Work performed | (15,558) |  |  | (17,097) |
Backlog at end of year | $ | 25,569 |  |  | $ | 31,934 |

_______________________________________________________________________________
(1)Adjustments and cancellations during 2019 included the cancellation of two infrastructure projects as well as the suspension of certain contracts associated with our joint venture in Mexico.
In 2021, we expect to perform approximately 50% of our total backlog reported as of December 31, 2020, which is in line with the last three years.
Types of Contracts
While the basic terms and conditions of the contracts that we perform may vary considerably, we typically perform our work under two types of contracts: (a) reimbursable contracts and (b) lump-sum or guaranteed maximum contracts. In some markets, we are seeing hybrid contracts containing both lump-sum and reimbursable elements. As of December 31, 2020, the following table summarizes contract type within our ending backlog:

| December 31, 2020
| (in millions) | (percentage)
Reimbursable | $ | 11,621 |  | 45 | %
Lump-Sum and Guaranteed Maximum | 13,948 |  | 55 | %

In accordance with industry practice, most of our contracts are subject to termination at the discretion of our client. In such situations, our contracts typically provide for the payment of fees earned through the date of termination and the reimbursement of costs incurred including demobilization costs.
Under reimbursable contracts, the client reimburses us based upon negotiated rates and pays us a pre-determined fee, or a fee based upon a percentage of the cost incurred in completing the project. Our profit may be in the form of a fee, a simple markup applied to labor cost incurred in performing the contract, or a combination of the two. The fee element may also vary. The fee may be an incentive fee based upon achieving certain performance factors, milestones or targets; it may be a fixed amount in the contract; or it may be based upon a percentage of the cost incurred. In some cases, reimbursable contracts may be converted into lump-sum contracts.
Our Government segment, primarily acting as a prime contractor or a major subcontractor for a number of government programs, generally performs its services under reimbursable contracts subject to applicable statutes and regulations. In many cases, these contracts include incentive fee arrangements. The programs may span many years and may be implemented by awards under multiple contracts. Some of our government contracts are known as indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) agreements. Under these arrangements, we work closely with the government to define the scope and amount of work required based upon an estimate of the maximum amount that the government desires to spend. While the scope is often not initially fully defined or does not require any specific amount of work, once the project scope is determined, additional work may be awarded to us without the need for further competitive bidding.
Under lump-sum contracts, we typically bid based upon specifications provided by the client. This type of contracting presents risks because it requires us to predetermine the work to be performed, the project execution schedule and all costs

associated with the work. Another type of lump-sum contract is a negotiated fixed-price contract, under which we are selected as contractor first, and then we negotiate price with the client. Negotiated fixed-price contracts frequently occur in single-responsibility arrangements where we perform some of the work before negotiating the total price for the project. Another type of lump-sum contract is a unit price contract under which we are paid a set amount for every “unit” of work performed. If we perform well under these types of contracts, we can benefit from cost savings. However, if the project does not proceed as originally planned, we may not be able to recover cost overruns except in certain situations.
Guaranteed maximum price contracts are reimbursable contracts except that the total fee plus the total cost cannot exceed an agreed upon guaranteed maximum price. We can be responsible for some or all of the total cost of the project if the cost exceeds the guaranteed maximum price. Where the total cost is less than the negotiated guaranteed maximum price, we may receive the benefit of the cost savings based upon a negotiated agreement with the client.
Some of our contracts, regardless of type, may operate under joint ventures or other teaming arrangements. Typically, we enter into these arrangements with reputable companies with whom we have worked previously. These arrangements are generally made to strengthen our market position or technical skills, or where the size, scale or location of the project directs the use of such arrangements.
Competition
We are one of the world’s larger providers of engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and modularization, operations, maintenance and asset integrity, and project management services. The markets served by our business are highly competitive and, for the most part, require substantial resources and highly skilled and experienced technical personnel. A large number of companies compete against us, including U.S.-based companies such as AECOM, Bechtel Group, Inc., EMCOR Group, Inc., Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., KBR, Inc., Kiewit Corporation, Granite Construction, Inc. and Quanta Services, Inc., and international-based companies such as ACS Actividades de Construccion y Servicios, Balfour Beatty plc, Chiyoda Corporation, Hyundai Engineering & Construction Company, Ltd., JGC Corporation, McDermott International, Inc., Petrofac Limited, SNC-Lavalin Group, Inc., Samsung Engineering, Stantec Inc., TechnipFMC plc, Wood Group plc, and WorleyParsons Limited.
Competition for our Energy & Chemicals, Mining & Industrial and Infrastructure & Power segments is based on an ability to provide the design, engineering, planning, management and project execution skills required to complete complex projects in a safe, timely and cost-efficient manner. We believe our engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction business derives its competitive strength from our diversity, excellence in execution, reputation for quality, technology, cost-effectiveness, worldwide procurement capability, project management expertise, geographic coverage, ability to meet client requirements by performing construction on either a union or an open shop basis, ability to execute complex projects of varying sizes, strong safety record and lengthy experience with a wide range of services and technologies.
The various markets served by the Diversified Services segment, while having some similarities to other segments, tend also to have discrete issues impacting individual business lines. Each of the markets we serve has a large number of competing companies. In the operations and maintenance markets, barriers to entry are both financially and logistically low, resulting in a fragmented industry with no single company being dominant. Competition in those markets is generally driven by reputation, price and the capacity to perform. Temporary staffing is a highly fragmented market with over 1,000 companies competing globally. The key competitive factors in this business line are price, service, quality, client relationships, breadth of service and the ability to identify and retain qualified personnel and geographic coverage.
In the Government segment, key competitive factors are primarily centered on performance, reputation and the ability to provide the design, engineering, planning, management and project execution skills required to complete complex projects in a safe, timely, cost-efficient and compliant manner.
The AMECO business, which operates in numerous markets, is highly fragmented and very competitive, with a large number of competitors mostly operating in specific geographic areas. The competition in the equipment business for larger capital project services is more narrow and limited to only those capable of providing comprehensive equipment, tool and management services.
Raw Materials
The principal products we use in our business include structural steel, metal plate, concrete, cable and various electrical and mechanical components. These products and components are subject to raw material (aluminum, copper, nickel, iron ore, etc.) availability and pricing fluctuations, which we monitor on a regular basis. We have access to numerous global supply sources, and we do not foresee any unavailability of these items that would have a material adverse effect on our business in the near term. However, the availability of these products, components and raw materials may vary significantly from year to year due to various factors including client demand, producer capacity, market conditions and specific material shortages.

Compliance with Government Regulations, Including Environmental, Safety and Health Matters
We provide services at sites throughout the world. Work at some of these sites involves activities related to nuclear facilities, hazardous waste, hydrocarbon production, distribution and transport, the military and infrastructure. Some of our work can be performed adjacent to environmentally sensitive locations such as wetlands, lakes and rivers. We also contract with governments to remediate hazardous materials, including chemical agents and weapons, as well as to decontaminate and decommission nuclear sites. These activities can require us to manage, handle, remove, treat, transport and dispose of toxic, radioactive or hazardous substances, and are subject to many environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
We believe that we are generally compliant with all environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. We further believe that any accruals with respect to future environmental costs are adequate and that any future costs will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. Some factors, however, could result in additional expenditures or the provision of additional accruals in expectation of such expenditures. These include the imposition of more stringent requirements under environmental laws or regulations, new developments or changes regarding site cleanup costs or the allocation of such costs among potentially responsible parties, or a determination that we are potentially responsible for the release of hazardous substances at sites other than those currently identified.
Human Capital Management
We promote a high performance culture with purpose and foster a diverse and inclusive workplace as a business imperative because we consider people to be our single greatest asset. A high performance culture, where everyone is treated fairly and respectfully and has equal access to opportunities based on capabilities and performance, regardless of background, raises both the individual and collective performance of our company. Our culture drives employee engagement, productivity and a sustainable competitive advantage.
The following summarizes our human capital information as of December 31, 2020:

| Number of Employees
Salaried Employees | 24,203 |
Craft and Hourly Employees | 16,514 |
TRS Agency | 3,000 |
Total | 43,717 |

The number of craft and hourly employees can vary in relation to the number, size and phase of execution of our projects. We have employees in the following regions:

Region |  | % of Global Workforce
North America |  | 36 | %
Europe, Africa and Middle East |  | 27 | %
Central and South America |  | 25 | %
Asia Pacific (includes Australia) |  | 12 | %

Health and Safety
Safety is one of our core values. We are committed to taking care of our employees and preventing injuries in our offices and project locations. Our robust programs and procedures help us mitigate the hazards inherent in the work we do. We are committed to fostering a caring, preventative culture founded on proactive action by engaged employees. We call this Safer Together SM. Our 2020 safety performance resulted in a total case incident rate of 0.38 (calculated in accordance with OSHA record keeping requirements), outperforming our goal of less than 0.40 and well below the comparable industry benchmarks. From 2019 to 2020, we also experienced reductions in the number of work-related life-altering injuries, lost time injuries and injuries requiring medical treatment or work restriction.
In response to COVID-19, we implemented a number of measures to protect the well-being of our employees and mitigate COVID-19 transmission within our offices and on our projects. We established a global COVID-19 task force in January 2020 and implemented actions to empower remote working, restrict non-essential business travel, enhance sanitation at our offices and project sites, and other return-to-work measures. We have an employee assistance program to support employee well-being with a focus on mental health. We also created a Workplace Flexibility global task force to define the workplace of the future.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We are committed to advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ("DE&I"). We believe that every voice matters, and we value DE&I at every level. We embrace different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds. We listen actively, respect one another and foster an environment with a deep sense of pride and belonging. We are focused on four key impact pillars to advance DE&I:
•Champion an inclusive culture;
•Recruit, develop and retain talent;
•Enhance employee experience; and
•Improve social progress and impact.
We engage and partner with select organizations that represent and support gender, racial and ethnic diversity in the engineering profession, and we work with a variety of university student associations to reach targeted populations. We extend our job postings to the appropriate state workforce agencies as well as a syndicated network of partner sites, in order to reach a diverse pool of candidates.
Development Opportunities
One of our top priorities is to provide ongoing training and development for our employees through multiple venues, including Fluor University, our online learning platform. Employees can select from among a wide variety of self-paced, online training courses and have options to sign up for location-specific, instructor-led and virtual courses. Topics range from discipline-specific and targeted technical learning to general knowledge topics, such as leadership, business acumen, communication and inclusive management. In 2020, our employees earned more than 98,000 credit hours through Fluor University.
We have also developed several programs to help employees advance their careers, including Fluor Fellows for our technical experts and Mentoring Circles. In addition, we currently have three employee resource groups: Growing Representation & Opportunity for Women ("GROW"), Graduates Advancing to Professionalism ("GAP") and Emerging Leaders Group ("ELG").
Community Responsibility
Part of building a high-performance culture with purpose is offering employees robust and enriching opportunities to help build a better future through volunteerism and philanthropy. For more than 40 years, our employee volunteer program, Fluor Cares, has given employees a conduit for giving back to the communities where we live and work. In 2020, employees volunteered more than 24,000 hours to charitable organizations and causes. Additionally, employees pledged $3.6 million, which included a 25 percent company match, through our North America employee giving campaign.
We remained true to our legacy of giving back even as COVID-19 continued to impact lives and communities in far-reaching and profound ways. Our employees continued to exhibit compassion and generosity for those affected by the virus. Local community relations teams directed financial resources to the most significant COVID-19 relief efforts in their local communities with contributions exceeding $0.7 million to local COVID-19 relief funds organized by our community partners in support of meal service charities, critical human needs and schools.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
We operate in a complex and rapidly changing global environment that involves numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and stock price. The risks described below highlight some of the factors that have affected and could affect us in the future. We may also be affected by unknown risks or risks that we currently think are immaterial. If any such events actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and stock price could be materially adversely affected.
Summary Risk Factors
The following summarizes the risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and stock price. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of each risk factor contained below.
Risks Related to our Operations
•COVID-19 has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business operations, results of operations and financial position.
•We are vulnerable to the cyclical nature of the markets we serve.
•Our revenue and earnings are largely dependent on the award of new contracts, which is driven by our clients.
•The nature of our contracts, particularly our lump-sum contracts, subject us to risks associated with delays and cost overruns, which may not be recoverable and may result in reduced profits or losses that could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
•Intense competition in the global EPC industry can reduce our revenue and profits.

•Our prior failure to prepare and timely file our periodic reports with the SEC limits our access to the public markets to raise debt or equity capital and restricts our ability to issue equity securities.
•We restated certain of our previously issued financial statements during 2020, which resulted in unanticipated costs and may affect investor confidence and raise reputational issues.
Risks Related to Indebtedness and other Credit Related Risks
•Adverse credit and financial market conditions could impair our, our clients' and our partners' borrowing capacity, which could negatively affect our business operations, profits and growth objectives.
•Our indebtedness could lead to adverse consequences or adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under such indebtedness, and any refinancing of this debt could be at significantly higher interest rates.

•Delaware law, our charter documents and our stockholder rights agreement may impede or discourage a takeover or change of control.
Risks Related to our Operations
COVID-19 has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business operations, results of operations and financial position.
There have been extraordinary and wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities in response to COVID-19, including quarantines, government restrictions on movement, business closures and suspensions, canceled events and activities, self-isolation, and other voluntary or mandated changes in behavior. Both the outbreak of the disease and actions in response thereto have created significant uncertainty and economic volatility and disruption, which have impacted and may continue to impact our workforce and operations and have materially adversely affected and may continue to materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance, including, but not limited to, the following:
•We have experienced, and may continue to experience, reductions in demand for certain of our services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to our clients’, suppliers’ and other third parties’ diminished financial conditions or financial distress, as well as governmental budget constraints. These impacts are expected to continue or worsen if stay-at-home, social distancing, travel restrictions and other similar orders or restrictions remain in place for an extended period of time or are re-imposed after being lifted or eased.
•Some clients have been, and may in the future be, unable to meet their payment obligations to us in a timely manner, including as a result of deteriorating financial condition or bankruptcy. Further, other third parties, such as suppliers, subcontractors, joint venture partners and other outside business partners, have experienced significant disruptions in their ability to satisfy their obligations with respect to us, or they may be unable to do so in the future altogether.
•Many employers, including us, and governments continue to require all or a significant portion of employees to work remotely. While many of our employees can effectively perform their responsibilities while working remotely, some work may not be completed as efficiently as if it were performed on site. Additionally, we may be exposed to unexpected cybersecurity risks and additional information technology-related expenses as a result of these remote working requirements.
•Illness, travel restrictions or other workforce disruptions have affected, and may continue to affect, our supply chain, our ability to timely and satisfactorily complete our clients’ projects, our ability to provide services to our clients or our other business processes.
•We have furloughed certain employees and may need to further furlough or reduce the number of employees that we employ. We may experience difficulties associated with hiring additional employees or replacing employees, in particular with respect to roles that require security clearances or other special qualifications that may be limited or difficult to obtain.
•In addition to existing travel restrictions implemented in response to COVID-19, jurisdictions may continue to close borders, impose prolonged quarantines and further restrict travel and business activity, which could materially impair our ability to conduct our operations, to source supplies through the global supply chain and to identify, pursue and capture new business opportunities, and which could continue to restrict the ability of our employees to access their workplaces. We also face the possibility of increased overhead or other expenses resulting from compliance with any future government orders or other measures enacted in response to COVID-19.

•We operate in many countries around the world, and certain of those countries’ governments may be unable to effectively mitigate the financial or other impacts of COVID-19 on their economies and workforces and our operations therein.
The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to impact us depends on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not currently able to predict and may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this 2020 10-K, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us, our business operations, results of operations and financial position.
We are vulnerable to the cyclical nature of the markets we serve.
The demand for our services is dependent upon the existence of projects with engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication, maintenance and management needs. 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, low oil prices, political uncertainties and currency devaluations. Clients have been and remain selective in how they allocate and expend their capital, which has resulted in a reduction of the number of projects we may bid on and win, especially the larger scale projects in which we specialize. For example, in our Energy & Chemicals segment, capital expenditures by our clients are influenced by factors such as prevailing 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. As a result of the decline in oil prices in the first quarter of 2020, demand for our services in our Energy & Chemicals segment has been adversely impacted. There is no guarantee that the current recovery in oil prices will be sustained, and the timing and extent of any future improvements in demand remain uncertain. Industries served by that segment and many of the others 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.
Our revenue and earnings are largely dependent on the award of new contracts, which is driven by our clients.
The awarding 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, oil prices, environmental conditions and overall market and economic conditions. We may not win contracts that we have bid on due to 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 or unusual risks or include terms and conditions in a contract 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 of operations 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, recent changes to U.S. policies related to global trade and tariffs have resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future of the global economy as well as retaliatory trade measures implemented by other countries.
The nature of our contracts, particularly our lump-sum contracts, subject us to risks associated with delays and cost overruns, which may not be recoverable and may result in reduced profits or losses that could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Because our projects are often technically complex, with multiple phases occurring over several years, we incur risks in our project execution activities. These risks could result in project delays, cost overruns or other problems and can include the following:
•Incorrect assumptions related to productivity, scheduling estimates or future economic conditions, including with respect to the impacts of inflation on lump-sum contracts;
•Unanticipated technical problems, including design or engineering issues;
•Inaccurate representations of site conditions and unanticipated changes in the project execution plan;
•Project modifications creating unanticipated costs or delays and failure to properly manage project modifications;
•Inability to achieve guaranteed performance or quality standards with regard to engineering, construction or project management obligations;
16

Table of Contents
•Insufficient or inadequate project execution tools and systems needed to record, track, forecast and control cost and schedule;
•Reliance on historic cost and/or execution data that is not representative of current economic and/or execution conditions;
•Failure to accurately estimate the timing and cost of projects, including due to unforeseen increases in the cost of labor;
•Unanticipated increases in the cost of raw materials, components or equipment, including due to the imposition of import tariffs;
•Failure to properly make judgments in accordance with applicable professional standards, including engineering standards;
•Failure to properly assess and update appropriate risk mitigation strategies and measures;
•Difficulties related to the performance of our clients, partners, subcontractors, suppliers or other third parties;
•Delays or productivity issues caused by weather; and
•Changes in local laws or difficulties or delays in obtaining permits, rights of way or 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, 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 fees until the performance criteria is achieved. We may also be required to pay liquidated damages if we fail to complete a project on schedule. 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 we become liable to pay) 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.
In circumstances where the contract is lump-sum or the revenue is otherwise fixed, we bear significant risk for delays and cost overruns. Reimbursable contract types, such as those that include negotiated hourly billing rates, may restrict the kinds or amounts of costs that are reimbursable, therefore exposing us to the risk that we may incur certain costs in executing these contracts that are above our estimates and not recoverable from our clients.
Intense competition in the global EPC industry can reduce our revenue and profits.
We serve markets that are highly competitive and in which a large number of multinational companies compete. These markets require substantial resources and investment in technology and skilled personnel. We also see a continuing influx of non-traditional competitors offering below-market pricing while accepting greater risk. Competition places downward pressure on our contract prices and profit margins, and has in the past forced, and may in the future force, us to accept contractual terms and conditions that are not normal or customary, thereby increasing the risk of losses on such contracts. Intense competition is expected to continue in these markets, presenting us with significant challenges in our ability to maintain strong growth rates and acceptable profit margins. To the extent we are unable to meet these competitive challenges, we could lose revenue and experience an overall reduction in our profits.
The success of our use of teaming arrangements and joint ventures depends on the satisfactory performance by our venture partners over whom we may have little or no control, and the failure of those partners to perform their obligations could impose additional obligations on us that could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
In the ordinary course of business, and as has become increasingly common in our industry, we execute specific projects and otherwise conduct certain operations through joint ventures, consortiums, partnerships and other collaborative arrangements (collectively, "ventures"). We have various ownership interests in these ventures, with such ownership typically being proportionate to our decision-making and distribution rights. The ventures generally contract directly with the third party client; however, services may be performed directly by the venture, or may be performed by us, our partners, or a combination thereof.
Our success in many markets is dependent, in part, on the presence or capability of a local partner. If we are unable to compete alone, or with a quality partner, our ability to win work and successfully complete our contracts may be impacted.

Table of Contents
Differences in opinions or views between venture partners can result in delayed decision-making or failure to agree on material issues, which could adversely affect the business and operations of our ventures. In many of the countries in which we engage in joint ventures, it may be difficult to enforce our contractual rights under the applicable joint venture agreement.
At times, we also participate in ventures where we are not a controlling party or where we team with unaffiliated parties on a particular project bid. In such instances, we may have limited control over venture decisions and actions, including internal controls and financial reporting, which may have an impact on our business. If internal control problems arise within the joint venture, or if our joint venture partners have financial or operational issues, there could be a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The success of these and other ventures also depends, in large part, on the satisfactory performance by our venture partners of their venture obligations, including their obligation to commit working capital, equity or credit support as required by the venture and to support their indemnification and other contractual obligations. If our venture partners fail to satisfactorily perform their venture obligations, the venture may be unable to adequately perform or deliver its contracted services. Under these circumstances, we may be required to make additional investments and provide additional services to ensure the adequate performance and delivery by the venture of the contracted services and to meet any performance guarantees. From time to time, in order to establish or preserve a relationship, or to better ensure venture success, we may accept risks or responsibilities for the venture that are not necessarily proportionate with the reward we expect to receive or that may differ from risks or responsibilities we would normally accept in our own operations. We may also be subject to joint and several liability for our venture partners under the applicable contracts for venture projects. These additional obligations could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, increased liabilities or significant losses for us with respect to the venture, and in turn, our business and operations. In addition, a failure by a venture partner to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations could negatively impact our business and reputation and could result in fines, penalties, suspension or, in the case of government contracts, even debarment.
Cybersecurity breaches of our systems and information technology could adversely impact our ability to operate.
We utilize, develop, install and maintain a number of information technology systems both for us and for others. Various privacy and security laws require us to protect sensitive and confidential information from disclosure. In addition, we are bound by our client and other contracts, as well as our own business practices, to protect confidential and proprietary information (whether it be ours or a third party's information entrusted to us) from disclosure. Our computer systems, as well as those of our clients, contractors and other vendors, face the threat of unauthorized access, computer hackers, viruses, malicious code, cyber attacks, phishing and other security incursions and system disruptions, including attempts to improperly access our confidential and proprietary information as well as the confidential and proprietary information of our clients and other business partners. While we endeavor to maintain industry-accepted security measures and technology to secure our computer systems and while we endeavor to ensure our cloud vendors that store our data maintain similar measures, these systems and the information stored on these systems may still be subject to threats. There can be no assurance that our efforts will protect us against all threats. Further, as these security threats continue to evolve, we may be required to devote additional resources to protect, detect and respond against such threats. A party who circumvents our security measures, or those of our clients, contractors or other vendors, could misappropriate confidential or proprietary information, improperly manipulate data, or cause damage or interruptions to systems. Any of these events could damage our reputation, result in litigation and regulatory fines and penalties, or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, while we maintain insurance that specifically covers cybersecurity threats, our coverage may not sufficiently cover all types of losses or claims that may arise.
We have international operations that are subject to foreign economic and political uncertainties and risks. Unexpected and adverse changes in the foreign countries in which we operate could result in project disruptions, increased cost and potential losses.
Our business is subject to international economic and political conditions that change (sometimes frequently) for reasons that are beyond our control. We expect that a significant portion of our revenue and profits will continue to come from international projects for the foreseeable future.
Operating in the international marketplace exposes us to a number of risks including:
•abrupt changes in government policies, laws, treaties (including those impacting trade), regulations or leadership;
•embargoes or other trade restrictions, including sanctions;
•restrictions on currency movement;
•tax or tariff changes;
18

Table of Contents
•currency exchange rate fluctuations;
•changes in labor conditions and difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, including logistical and communication challenges;
•U.S. government trade or other policy changes in relation to the foreign countries in which we or our clients operate;
•other social, political and economic instability, including recessions and other economic crises in other regions;
•natural disasters and public health crises, including pandemics such as COVID-19;
•expropriation and nationalization of our assets in a foreign country;
•international hostilities; and
•unrest, civil strife, acts of war, terrorism and insurrection.
Also, the lack of a well-developed legal system in some of the countries where we operate may make it difficult to enforce our contractual rights or to defend ourself against claims made by others. We operate in locations where there is a significant amount of political risk. In addition, military action or continued unrest could impact the supply or pricing of oil, disrupt our operations in the region and elsewhere, and increase our security costs. Our level of exposure to these risks may vary with each project, depending on the location of the project and its stage of completion. For example, our risk exposure with respect to a project in an early development phase, such as engineering, will generally be less than our risk exposure on a project that is in the construction phase. To the extent that our international business is affected by unexpected and adverse foreign economic and political conditions and risks, we may experience project disruptions and losses. Project disruptions and losses could significantly reduce our overall revenue and profits.
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations.
Our backlog generally consists of projects for which we have an executed contract or commitment with a client and reflects our expected revenue from the contract or commitment, which is often subject to revision over time. We cannot guarantee that the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized or profitable or will not be subject to delay or suspension. Project cancellations, scope adjustments or deferrals, or foreign currency fluctuations may occur with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog and could reduce the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that we actually earn; or, may cause the rate at which we perform on our backlog to decrease. Most of our contracts have termination for convenience provisions in them allowing clients to cancel projects already awarded to us. Our contracts typically provide for the payment of fees earned through the date of termination and the reimbursement of costs incurred including demobilization costs. In addition, projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time. During periods of economic slowdown, or decreases and/or instability in oil prices, the risk of projects being suspended, delayed or canceled generally increases. Finally, poor project or contract performance could also impact our backlog and profits. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business and our profits.
Our employees work on projects that are inherently dangerous and in locations where there are high security risks, and a failure to maintain a safe work site could result in significant losses.
We often work on complex projects, frequently in geographically remote or high-risk locations that are subject to political, social or economic risks, or war or civil unrest. In those locations where we have employees or operations, we may expend significant efforts and incur substantial security costs to maintain the safety of our personnel. In addition, our project sites can place our employees and others near large equipment, dangerous processes or substances or highly regulated materials, and in challenging environments. Safety is a primary focus of our business and is critical to our reputation and performance. Many of our clients require that we meet certain safety criteria to be eligible to bid on contracts, and some of our contract fees or profits are subject to satisfying safety criteria. Unsafe work conditions also have the potential of increasing employee turnover, increasing project costs and raising our operating costs. If we fail to implement appropriate safety procedures and/or if our procedures fail, our employees or others may suffer injuries or even loss of life, the completion of a project could be delayed and we could experience investigations or litigation. Although we maintain functional groups whose primary purpose is to implement effective health, safety and environmental procedures throughout our company, the failure to comply with such procedures, client contracts or applicable regulations could subject us to losses and liability. Despite these activities, in these locations and at these sites, we cannot guarantee the safety of our personnel, nor can we guarantee our work, equipment or supplies will be free from damage.

Our businesses could be materially and adversely affected by events outside of our control.
Extraordinary or force majeure events beyond our control, such as natural or man-made disasters, severe weather conditions, public health crises, political crises or other catastrophic events, could negatively impact our ability to operate or increase our costs to operate. Such events may result in disruptions to our operations; evacuation of personnel; increased labor and material costs or shortages; inability to deliver materials, equipment and personnel to jobsites in accordance with contract schedules; and loss of productivity. We may remain obligated to perform our services after any such events, unless a contract provision provides us with relief from our obligations. The extra costs incurred as a result of these events may not be reimbursed by our clients. If we are not able to react quickly to such events, or if a high concentration of our projects are impacted by such an event, our operations may be adversely affected. In addition, if we cannot complete our contracts on time, we may be subject to potential liability claims by our clients, which may reduce our profits and result in losses.
Our actual results could differ from the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements.
In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions through the filing date of the 2020 10-K. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas requiring significant estimates by our management include:
•recognition of contract revenue, costs, profits or losses in applying the principles of percentage-of-completion accounting;
•recognition of revenues related to project incentives or awards we expect to receive;
•recognition of recoveries under contract change orders or claims;
•estimated amounts for expected project losses, warranty costs, contract close-out or other costs;
•collectability of billed and unbilled accounts receivable and the need and amount of any allowance for doubtful accounts;
•asset valuations;
•income tax provisions and related valuation allowances;
•determination of expense and potential liabilities under pension and other post-retirement benefit programs; and
•accruals for other estimated liabilities, including litigation and insurance revenues/reserves.
Estimates are based on management's reasonable assumptions and experience, but are only estimates. Our actual business and financial results could differ from our estimates of such results due to changes in facts and circumstances, which could have a material negative impact on our financial condition and reported results of operations. Further, we recognize contract revenue as work on a contract progresses. The cumulative amount of revenue recorded on a contract at any point in time is that percentage of total estimated revenues that costs incurred to date bear to estimated total costs. Accordingly, contract revenue and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised as the work progresses. Adjustments are reflected in contract revenue in the period when such estimates are revised. Such adjustments could be material and could result in reduced profitability.
If we experience delays and/or defaults in client payments, we could suffer liquidity problems or we could be unable to recover all expenditures.
Because of the nature of our contracts, we sometimes commit resources to projects prior to receiving payments from clients in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures as they are incurred. Some of our clients have found it difficult to pay invoices for our services timely, increasing the risk that our accounts receivable could become uncollectible and ultimately be written off. In certain cases, our clients for our large projects are project-specific entities that do not have significant assets other than their interests in the project. From time to time, it has been and may in the future be difficult for us to collect payments owed to us by these clients. In addition, clients may request extension of the payment terms otherwise agreed to under our contracts. Delays in client payments may require us to make a working capital investment, which could impact our cash flows and liquidity. If a client fails to pay invoices on a timely basis or defaults in making its payments on a project in which we have devoted significant resources, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations or liquidity.
We are dependent upon suppliers and subcontractors to complete many of our contracts.
Some of the work performed under our contracts is performed by third-party subcontractors. We also rely on third-party suppliers to provide much of the equipment and materials used for projects. If we are unable to hire qualified
20

Table of Contents
subcontractors or find qualified suppliers, our ability to successfully or timely complete a project could be impaired. If the amount we are required to pay for subcontractors or equipment and supplies exceeds what we have estimated, especially in a lump-sum contract, we may suffer losses on these contracts. If a supplier or subcontractor fails to provide supplies, technology, equipment or services as required under a contract to us, our joint venture partner, our client or any other party involved in the project for any reason, or provides supplies, technology, equipment or services that are not an acceptable quality, we may be required to source those supplies, technology, equipment or services on a delayed basis or at a higher price than anticipated, which could impact contract profitability. In addition, faulty workmanship, equipment or materials could impact the overall project, resulting in claims against us for failure to meet required project specifications. These risks may be intensified during an economic downturn if these suppliers or subcontractors experience financial difficulties or find it difficult to obtain sufficient financing to fund their operations or access to bonding, and are not able to provide the services or supplies necessary for our business. In addition, in instances where we rely on a single contracted supplier or subcontractor or a small number of suppliers or subcontractors, if a subcontractor or supplier were to fail, there may be no available replacement technology, equipment, materials or services on a timely basis or at the costs we had anticipated. A failure by a third-party subcontractor or supplier to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations could negatively impact our business and reputation and could result in fines, penalties, suspension, or in the case of government contracts, even debarment.
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 enter into significant government contracts, including those contracts that we have in place with the U.S. Department of Energy and 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. Changes in U.S. government priorities, which can occur due to policy changes or changes in the economy, could adversely impact our revenues. 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.
In addition, U.S. government contracts are subject to specific regulations such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR"), the Truth in Negotiations Act, the Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS"), the Service Contract Act and Department of Defense security regulations. Failure to comply with any of these regulations and other government requirements may result in contract price adjustments, financial penalties or contract termination. Our U.S. government contracts are also subject to audits, cost reviews and investigations by U.S. government oversight agencies such as the U.S. Defense Contract Audit Agency (the "DCAA"). The DCAA reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies (including our labor, billing, accounting, purchasing, estimating, compensation and management information systems). The DCAA also has the ability to review how we have accounted for costs under the FAR and CAS. The DCAA presents its report findings to the Defense Contract Management Agency ("DCMA"). Should the DCMA determine that we have not complied with the terms of our contract and applicable statutes and regulations, or if they believe that we have engaged in inappropriate accounting or other activities, payments to us may be disallowed or we could be required to refund previously collected payments. Additionally, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, suspension or debarment from future government contracts, and qui tam litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the U.S. government under the False Claims Act, which could include claims for treble damages. These suits may remain under seal (and hence, be unknown to us) for some time while the government decides whether to intervene on behalf of the qui tam plaintiff. Furthermore, if we have significant disagreements with our government clients concerning costs incurred, negative publicity could arise, which could adversely affect our industry reputation and our ability to compete for new contracts in the government arena or otherwise.
Most U.S. government contracts are awarded through a rigorous competitive process. The U.S. government has increasingly relied upon multiple-year contracts with pre-established terms and conditions that generally require those contractors that have been previously awarded the contract to engage in an additional competitive bidding process for each task order issued under the contract. Such processes require successful contractors to anticipate requirements and develop rapid-response bid and proposal teams as well as dedicated supplier relationships and delivery systems to react to these needs. We face rigorous competition and significant pricing pressures in order to win these task orders. If we are not successful in containing costs or able to timely respond to government requests, we may not win additional awards. Moreover, even if we are qualified to work on a government contract, we may be impacted in our pursuit of work by government policies designed to protect small businesses and under- represented minority contractors.
Many of our U.S. government contracts require security clearances. Depending upon the level of clearance required, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If we or our employees are unable to obtain or retain
21

Table of Contents
necessary security clearances, we may not be able to win new business, and our existing government clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them.
Under the Budget Control Act of 2011, an automatic sequestration process, or across-the-board budget cuts, was triggered when the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, a committee of twelve members of Congress, failed to agree on a deficit reduction plan for the U.S. federal budget. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (the “BBA”) eliminates sequestration on discretionary accounts in 2020 and 2021 by increasing federal discretionary spending limits until 2021. The BBA also temporarily suspends the public debt limit through July 31, 2021. However, the Budget Control Act of 2011 remains in place, extended through 2029, and absent additional legislative or other remedial action, the sequestration could require reduced U.S. federal government spending from 2022 through 2029. 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, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our continued success requires us to hire and retain qualified personnel.
The success of our business is dependent upon being able to attract, develop and retain personnel, including engineers, project management, craft employees and management around the globe, who have the necessary and required experience and expertise, and who will perform these services at a reasonable and competitive rate. Competition for these and other experienced personnel is 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 granted eligibility that may be required to obtain certain government projects and/or who have significant government contract experience. Loss of the services of, or failure to recruit, qualified technical and management personnel could limit our ability to successfully complete existing projects and compete for new projects.
As some of our executives and other key personnel approach retirement age or otherwise leave the company, we need to provide for smooth transitions, which may require that we devote time and resources to identify and integrate new personnel into these leadership roles and other key positions. Changes in our management team may disrupt our business and the failure to successfully transition and assimilate executives or other key personnel could adversely affect our results of operation. If we are unable to employ a sufficient number of skilled personnel or effectively implement appropriate succession plans, our ability to pursue projects may be adversely affected, the costs of executing our existing and future projects may increase and our financial performance may decline.
In addition, the cost of providing our services, including the extent to which we utilize our workforce, affects our profitability. For example, the uncertainty of contract award timing can present difficulties in matching our workforce size with our contracts. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we could incur costs resulting from excess staff, reductions in staff, or redundancy of facilities that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Our effective tax rate and tax positions may vary.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. A change in tax laws, treaties or regulations, or their interpretation, in any country in which we operate could change the tax rate on our earnings, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and our judgments could prove inaccurate. In the ordinary course of our business, 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 our profitability and liquidity.
Systems and information technology interruption, as well as new systems implementation, could adversely impact our ability to operate and our operating results.
As a global company, we are heavily reliant on computer, information and communications technology and related systems, some of which are hosted by third party providers, in order to operate. From time to time, we experience system interruptions and delays that may be planned for upgrades or that may be unplanned. Unplanned interruptions could result from natural disasters, power loss, telecommunications failures, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar events or disruptions. Any of these or other events could cause system interruptions, delays, loss of critical or sensitive data (including personal or financial data) or loss of funds; could delay or
22

Table of Contents
prevent operations (including the processing of transactions and reporting of financial results); and could adversely affect our reputation or our operating results. While we have and require the maintenance of reasonable safeguards designed to protect against unavailability or loss of data, these safeguards may not be sufficient. We may be required to expend significant resources to protect against or alleviate damage caused by systems interruptions and delays, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and cash flows.
We continue to evaluate the need to upgrade and/or replace our systems and network infrastructure to protect our computing environment, to stay current on vendor supported products, to improve the efficiency of our systems and for other business reasons. The implementation of new systems and information technology could adversely impact our operations by imposing substantial capital expenditures, demands on management time and risks of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems. Our systems implementations also may not result in productivity improvements at the levels anticipated. Systems implementation disruption and any other information technology disruption, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
It can be very difficult and expensive to obtain the insurance we need for our business operations.
As part of business operations we maintain insurance both as a corporate risk management strategy and to satisfy the requirements of many of our contracts. Although we have been generally able to cover our insurance needs, there can be no assurances that we can secure all necessary or appropriate insurance in the future, or that such insurance can be economically secured. For example, catastrophic events can result in decreased coverage limits, more limited coverage, increased premium costs or deductibles. We also monitor the financial health of the insurance companies from which we procure insurance, and this is one of the factors we take into account when purchasing insurance. Our insurance is purchased from a number of the world's leading providers, often in layered insurance or quota share arrangements. If any of our third party insurers fail, abruptly cancel our coverage or otherwise cannot satisfy their insurance requirements to us, then our overall risk exposure and operational expenses could be increased and our business operations could be interrupted.
If we do not have adequate indemnification for our nuclear services, it could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We provide services to the U.S. Department of Energy and the nuclear energy industry in the on-going maintenance and modification of nuclear facilities as well as decontamination and decommissioning activities of nuclear plants. The Price-Anderson Act generally indemnifies parties performing services to nuclear power plants and Department of Energy contractors; however, not all activities we engage in on behalf of our clients are covered. Thus, if the Price-Anderson Act indemnification protections do not apply to our services, or if the exposure occurs outside of the United States in a region that does not have protections comparable to the Price-Anderson Act, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected by our client's refusal to contract with us, by our inability to obtain commercially reasonable insurance or third party indemnification, or by the potentially significant monetary damages we could incur.
Foreign currency risks could have an adverse impact on revenue, earnings and/or backlog.
Certain of our contracts subject us to foreign currency risk, particularly when project contract revenue is denominated in a currency different than the contract costs. In addition, our operational cash flows and cash balances, though predominately held in U.S. dollars, may consist of different currencies at various points in time in order to execute our project contracts globally and meet transactional requirements. We may attempt to minimize our exposure to foreign currency risk by obtaining contract provisions that protect us from foreign currency fluctuations and/or by implementing hedging strategies utilizing derivatives as hedging instruments. However, these actions may not always eliminate all foreign currency risk, and as a result, our profitability on certain projects could be affected.
Our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies are subject to remeasurement. In addition, the U.S. dollar value of our backlog may from time to time increase or decrease significantly due to foreign currency volatility. 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.
Our reported revenue and earnings of foreign subsidiaries could also be affected by foreign currency volatility. Revenue, cost and earnings of foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars. If the U.S. dollar appreciates against a foreign subsidiary's non-U.S. dollar functional currency, we would report less revenue, cost and earnings in U.S. dollars than it would have had the U.S. dollar depreciated against the same foreign currency or if there had been no change in the exchange rate.

The loss of one or a few clients could have an adverse effect on us.
A few clients, including the U.S. government, state governments and U.S. and state government agencies, have in the past, and may in the future, account for a significant portion of our revenues in any one year or over a period of several consecutive years, either directly or through participation in a joint venture that serves as a client. Although we have long-standing relationships with many of our significant clients, our clients may unilaterally reduce, fail to renew or terminate their contracts with us at any time. Most of our contracts have termination for convenience provisions in them. The loss of business from a significant client could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
Damage to our reputation could in turn cause damage to our business.
Maintaining a positive reputation is critical to attracting and maintaining clients and other business relationships. If we fail to address issues that may give rise to reputational risk, we could significantly harm our business. These issues may include, but are not limited to, any of the risk factors discussed in this Item 1A, including compliance with laws, project execution risk, cybersecurity and safety. If our reputation is harmed, we could suffer a number of adverse consequences, such as:
•reduced demand for our services;
•lack of investor confidence;
•less favorable credit rating;
•the inability to attract and retain qualified employees;
•a loss or reduction in scope of current project contracts and fewer contract awards;
•less favorable contract terms;
•increased need for financial assurances;
•increased litigation and costs; and
•heightened regulatory scrutiny.
These and other consequences resulting from damage to our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our business may be negatively impacted if we are unable to adequately protect intellectual property rights.
Our success is dependent, in part, on our ability to differentiate our services through our technologies and know-how. This success includes the ability of companies in which we invest, such as NuScale, to protect their intellectual property rights. We utilize a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements to protect our interests. However, these methods only provide a limited amount of protection and may not adequately protect our interests. Our employees, contractors and joint venture partners are subject to confidentiality obligations, but this protection may be inadequate to deter or prevent misappropriation of our confidential information and/or infringement of our intellectual property rights. This can be especially true in certain foreign countries where intellectual property does not have equivalent protections as in the United States, or when our joint venture partner is a competitor who will gain access to our procedures and know-how while working with us in the performance of services.
Our clients require broad ownership rights in the work product and other materials we deliver. If we are not able to retain ownership of our pre-existing intellectual property and improvements thereto, it may affect our ability to provide similar services to other clients in the future, which ultimately, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our competitors or others may independently develop technology substantially similar to our trade secret technology or we may be unsuccessful in preserving our intellectual property rights in the future. Our intellectual property rights could be invalidated, circumvented, challenged or infringed upon. Litigation to determine the scope of intellectual property rights, even if ultimately successful, could be costly and could divert management's attention.
In addition, our clients or other third parties may also provide us with their technology and intellectual property. There is a risk that we may not sufficiently protect our or their information from improper use or dissemination and, as a result, could be subject to claims and litigation and resulting liabilities, loss of contracts or other consequences that could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
24

Table of Contents
We also hold licenses from third parties that may be utilized in our business operations. If we are no longer able to license such technology on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected. When we license our intellectual property to third parties, the scope of such license grant is limited to a particular plant or project. If such third party exceeds the scope of the license grant, and if we are unable to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property or otherwise take appropriate steps to enforce our rights, our revenue and margins will be adversely impacted, and the value of our intellectual property portfolio may decline thereby adversely affecting our competitive advantage and ability to win future work.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected as a result of asset impairments.
Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by impairments to goodwill, investments, deferred tax assets or other intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested at least annually for impairment. Any future impairments, including impairments of goodwill, investments, deferred tax assets or other intangible assets, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, if we determine that an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value exists for a company in which we have invested, we may have to write down that investment to its fair value and recognize the related write-down as an investment loss. For cases in which we are required under the equity method or the proportionate consolidation method of accounting to recognize a proportionate share of another company's income or loss, such income or loss may impact our earnings.
Risks Related to Financial Reporting
We identified material weaknesses in our ICFR in 2019, which were remediated in 2020. If we identify material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately and timely report our financial results.
In connection with our 2019 year-end assessment of ICFR, we determined that we did not have an effective ICFR at December 31, 2019. We took steps to improve our ICFR and determined that we have an effective ICFR at December 31, 2020.
If we identify amaterial weaknesses in the future or are unable to successfully remediate any future material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our ICFR, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, we may be unable to maintain or regain compliance with applicable securities laws and New York Stock Exchange listing requirements and we may be subject to regulatory investigations and penalties.
Our prior failure to prepare and timely file our periodic reports with the SEC limits our access to the public markets to raise debt or equity capital and restricts our ability to issue equity securities.
We did not timely file our 2019 10-K or our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 or September 30, 2020 within the timeframe specified by the SEC. This limits our ability to utilize a shelf registration during 2021 to access the public markets to raise debt or equity capital, which could prevent us from pursuing transactions or implementing business strategies that we might otherwise believe are beneficial to our business. We are not eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 that would allow us to continuously incorporate by reference our SEC reports until December 2021. If we wish to pursue a public offering ahead of that date, we would be required to file a registration statement on Form S-1 and have it reviewed and declared effective by the SEC. Doing so could take significantly longer than using a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, increase our transaction costs and adversely impact our ability to raise capital or complete acquisitions of other companies in a timely manner.
We restated certain of our previously issued financial statements during 2020, which resulted in unanticipated costs and may affect investor confidence and raise reputational issues.
As disclosed in our 2019 10-K, we restated our financial statements and related disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 and for each of the interim quarterly periods in 2018 and 2019, following the identification of misstatements as a result of an internal review. The restatement also included other immaterial adjustments to historical periods, including items previously identified and corrected in earlier periods and for other non-project items identified outside of the internal review. As a result, we incurred previously unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement, and have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, which may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures and may raise reputational issues for our business.

Risks Related to Indebtedness
Adverse credit and financial market conditions could impair our, our clients' and our partners' borrowing capacity, which could negatively affect our business operations, profits and growth objectives.
Our ability to generate cash is important for the funding of our operations, investing in joint ventures, the servicing of our indebtedness, paying dividends to stockholders and making acquisitions. To the extent that existing cash balances and cash flow from operations, together with borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, are insufficient to make investments or acquisitions or provide needed working capital, we may require additional financing from other sources. Our ability to obtain such additional financing will depend upon prevailing capital market conditions, including those arising due to events occurring in our industry, as well as conditions in our business and our operating results; and those factors may affect our efforts to negotiate terms that are acceptable to us. Furthermore, if global economic, industry, political or other market conditions adversely affect the financial institutions that provide credit to us, it is possible that our ability to establish or draw upon our credit facilities may be impacted. In addition, a downgrade in our credit rating could increase the cost of our borrowings or their refinancing, limit access to sources of financing or lead to other adverse consequences. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to make future investments, take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities, or respond to competitive challenges.
In addition, adverse credit and financial market conditions also adversely affect our clients' and our partners' borrowing capacity, which support the continuation and expansion of projects worldwide, and could result in contract cancellations or suspensions, project award and execution delays, payment delays or defaults by our clients. These disruptions could materially impact our backlog and profits. If we extend a significant portion of credit to our clients or projects in a specific geographic region or industry, we may experience higher levels of collection risk or non-payment if those clients are impacted by factors specific to their geographic industry or region.
Our indebtedness could lead to adverse consequences or adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under such indebtedness, and any refinancing of this debt could be at significantly higher interest rates.
Our indebtedness could have important consequences, including but not limited to:
•increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
•requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments and other general corporate purposes;
•limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, challenges and opportunities, and changes in our businesses and the markets in which we operate; and
•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt service requirements and other financing needs.
Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend on our future operating performance and financial results, which may be subject to factors beyond our control, including general economic, financial and business conditions. If we do not have sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness, we may need to refinance all or part of our existing indebtedness, borrow more money or sell securities or assets, some or all of which may not be available to us at acceptable terms or at all. In addition, we may need to incur additional indebtedness in the future in the ordinary course of business. Although the terms of our credit agreements and our bond indentures allow us to incur additional debt, there are limitations which may preclude us from incurring the amount of indebtedness we otherwise desire.
Our credit facilities, senior notes, other outstanding indebtedness and any additional indebtedness we incur in the future impose, or may impose, significant operating and financial restrictions on us. In addition, our credit facilities require 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 declare our indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable. If our operating performance declines, or if we are unable to comply with any covenant, such as our ability to timely prepare and file our periodic reports with the SEC, we have needed and may in the future need to obtain amendments to our credit agreements or waivers from the required creditors under our indebtedness instruments to avoid being in default. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or share price.

Table of Contents
We may be unable to win new contract awards if we cannot provide clients with letters of credit, bonds or other security or credit enhancements.
It is a common industry practice for clients to require us to provide surety bonds, letters of credit, bank guarantees or other forms of financial assurance as credit enhancements. Surety bonds, letters of credit or guarantees indemnify our clients if we fail to perform our obligations under our contracts. Historically, we have had strong surety bonding capacity due to our investment-grade credit rating, but, bonding is provided at the surety's sole discretion. In addition, because of the overall limitations in worldwide bonding capacity, we may find it difficult to access sufficient surety bonding capacity to meet our total surety bonding needs. With regard to letters of credit, while we have historically had adequate capacity under our existing credit facilities, any capacity that may be required in excess of our credit limits would be at our lenders' sole discretion and therefore is not certain. Failure to provide credit enhancements on terms required by a client may result in an inability to compete for or win a project.
Legal and Regulatory Risks
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and regulatory proceedings, potential liability claims and contract disputes that may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to a variety of legal or regulatory proceedings, liability claims or contract disputes in virtually every part of the world. We engage in engineering and construction activities for large facilities where design, construction or systems failures can result in substantial injury or damage. In addition, the nature of our business results in clients, subcontractors and suppliers occasionally presenting claims against us for recovery of costs they incurred in excess of what they expected to incur, or for which they believe they are not contractually liable. We have been and may in the future be named as a defendant in legal proceedings where parties may make a claim for damages or other remedies with respect to our projects or other matters, including shareholder litigation. During times of economic uncertainty, especially with regard to our commodity-based clients, claim frequencies and amounts tend to increase.
In proceedings where it is determined that we have liability, we may not be covered by insurance or, if covered, the dollar amount of these liabilities may exceed our policy limits. In addition, even where insurance is maintained for such exposure, the policies have deductibles resulting in our assuming exposure for a layer of coverage with respect to any such claims. Our professional liability coverage is on a "claims-made" basis covering only claims actually made during the policy period currently in effect. Any liability not covered by our insurance, in excess of our insurance limits or, if covered by insurance but subject to a high deductible, could result in a material loss for us, and materially reduce our cash available for operations.
As previously disclosed, we have received subpoenas from both the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") seeking documents and information related to projects for which we recorded charges in the second quarter of 2019 and certain project accounting, financial reporting and governance matters. We are coordinating our responses to the SEC and DOJ and cooperating in providing the requested documents and information. In addition to these investigations, a special committee of our Board of Directors independently conducted and completed a review of our prior period reporting and related control environment.
If the SEC or DOJ commences legal action as a result of the investigations, we could be required to pay significant penalties and become subject to injunctions, cease and desist orders, and other equitable remedies. We can provide no assurances as to the outcome or timing of any governmental or regulatory investigation.
In addition to these investigations, we have also had numerous securities class action lawsuits and stockholder derivative actions filed against us and certain of our current and former executive officers and directors.
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, significant expenses related to legal, accounting, and other professional services in connection with the SEC investigation, the DOJ investigation, lawsuits and related legal and regulatory matters. These expenses and the diversion of the attention of the management team that has occurred, and is expected to continue, has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of matters associated with the SEC and DOJ investigations and various lawsuits, we are exposed to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory proceedings, and government enforcement actions and additional subpoenas. Any future investigations or additional lawsuits may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In other legal or regulatory proceedings, liability claims or contract disputes, we may be covered by indemnification agreements that may at times be difficult to enforce. Even if enforceable, it may be difficult to recover under these agreements if the indemnitor does not have the ability to financially support the indemnity. Litigation and regulatory
27

Table of Contents
proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur, including for monetary damages. If we were to receive an unfavorable ruling in a matter, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed. Such proceedings can also be costly, time-consuming, disruptive to operations and distracting to management, regardless of the outcome. For further information on matters in dispute, please see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our failure to recover adequately on claims against project owners, subcontractors or suppliers for payment or performance could have a material effect on our financial results.
We occasionally bring claims against clients for additional costs exceeding the contract price or for amounts not included in the original contract price. Similarly, we present change orders and claims to our subcontractors and suppliers. If we fail to properly provide notice or document the nature of change orders or claims, or are otherwise unsuccessful in negotiating a reasonable settlement, we could incur reduced profits, cost overruns and in some cases a loss on the project. These types of claims can often occur due to matters such as owner-caused delays or changes from the initial project scope, which result in additional cost, both direct and indirect. From time to time, these claims can be the subject of lengthy and costly proceedings, and it is often difficult to accurately predict when these claims will be fully resolved. When these types of events occur and while unresolved claims are pending, we may invest significant working capital in projects to cover cost overruns pending the resolution of the relevant claims. A failure to promptly recover on these types of claims could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial results.
We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials or others for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws, we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We train our personnel concerning anti-bribery laws and issues, and we also inform our partners, subcontractors, suppliers, agents and others who work for us or on our behalf that they must comply with anti-bribery law requirements. We also have procedures and controls in place to monitor compliance. However, there is no assurance that our internal controls and procedures will always protect us from the possible reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. If we are found to be liable for anti-bribery law violations (either due to our own acts or our inadvertence, or due to the acts or inadvertence of others including our partners, agents, subcontractors or suppliers), we could suffer from criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions, including contract cancellations or debarment, and loss of reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Litigation or investigations relating to alleged or suspected violations of anti-bribery laws, even if ultimately such litigation or investigations demonstrate that we did not violate anti-bribery laws, could be costly and could divert management's attention away from other aspects of our business.
We could be adversely impacted if we fail to comply with domestic and international import and export laws.
Our global operations require importing and exporting goods and technology across international borders on a regular basis. Our policies mandate strict compliance with U.S. and foreign international trade laws. To the extent we export technical services, data and products outside of the United States, we are subject to U.S. and international laws and regulations governing international trade and exports including but not limited to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations and trade sanctions against embargoed countries, which are administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the Department of Treasury. From time to time, we identify certain inadvertent or potential export or related violations. These violations may include, for example, transfers without required governmental authorization. A failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the imposition of fines, the denial of export privileges, and suspension or debarment from participation in U.S. government contracts.
Employee, agent or partner misconduct or our overall failure to comply with laws or regulations could weaken our ability to win contracts, which could result in reduced revenues and profits.
Misconduct, fraud, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or other improper activities by one of our employees, agents or partners could have a significant negative impact on our business and reputation. Such misconduct could include the failure to comply with anti-corruption, export control and environmental regulations; federal procurement regulations, regulations regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts and regulations regarding the protection of sensitive government information; regulations on lobbying or similar activities; regulations pertaining to the internal control over financial reporting; and various other applicable laws or regulations. The precautions we take to prevent and detect fraud, misconduct or failures to comply with applicable laws and regulations may not be effective, and we could face unknown risks or losses. Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of fraud or misconduct could
28

Table of Contents
subject us to fines and penalties, loss of security clearance and suspension or debarment from contracting with government agencies, which could weaken our ability to win contracts and have a material adverse impact on our revenues and profits.
New or changing legal requirements, including those relating to climate change, could adversely affect our operating results.
Our business and results of operations could be affected by the passage of climate change, defense, environmental, infrastructure, trade and other laws, policies and regulations. For example, growing concerns about climate change may result in the imposition of additional environmental regulations. Legislation, international protocols or treaties, regulation or other restrictions on emissions could affect our clients, including those who (a) are involved in the exploration, production or refining of fossil fuels such as our energy and chemicals clients, (b) emit greenhouse gases through the combustion of fossil fuels, or (c) emit greenhouse gases through the mining, manufacture, utilization or production of materials or goods. Such legislation or restrictions 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 could in turn have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. However, legislation and regulation regarding climate change could also increase the pace of 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 fuel projects, which could positively impact the demand for our services. As another example, the implementation of trade barriers, countervailing duties, or border taxes, or the addition, relaxation or repeal of laws, policies and regulations regarding the industries and sectors in which we work could result in a decline in demand for our services, or may make the manner in which we perform our services, especially from outside the United States, less cost efficient. Furthermore, changes to existing trade agreements may impact our business operations. We cannot predict when or whether any of these various legislative and regulatory proposals may become law or what their effect will be on us and our clients.
Past and future environmental, safety and health regulations could impose significant additional costs on us that reduce our profits.
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and health and safety regulations. Our projects can involve the handling of hazardous and other highly regulated materials, including nuclear and other radioactive materials, which, if improperly handled or disposed of, could subject us to civil and criminal liabilities. It is impossible to reliably predict the full nature and effect of judicial, legislative or regulatory developments relating to health and safety regulations and environmental protection regulations applicable to our operations. The applicable regulations, as well as the length of time available to comply with those regulations, continue to develop and change. The cost of complying with rulings and regulations, satisfying any environmental remediation requirements for which we are found responsible, or satisfying claims or judgments alleging personal injury, property damage or natural resource damages as a result of exposure to, or contamination by, hazardous materials, including as a result of commodities such as lead or asbestos-related products, could be substantial, may not be covered by insurance, could reduce our profits, and therefore, could materially impact our future operations.
Our company, along with our investment in NuScale, is subject to a number of regulations such as those from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and non-U.S. regulatory bodies, such as the International Atomic Energy Commission and the European Union, which can have a substantial effect on our nuclear operations and investments. Delays in receiving necessary approvals, permits or licenses, the failure to maintain sufficient compliance programs, and other problems encountered during construction (including changes to such regulatory requirements) could significantly increase our costs or have an adverse effect on our results of operations, our return on investments and our financial position.
A substantial portion of our business is generated either directly or indirectly as a result of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations related to environmental matters. A reduction in the number or scope of these laws or regulations, or changes in government policies regarding the funding, implementation or enforcement of such laws and regulations, could significantly reduce the size of one of our markets and limit our opportunities for growth or reduce our revenue below current levels.
Risks Related to Mergers & Acquisitions and Strategic Plans
We cannot assure the successful implementation of our strategic and operational initiatives.
We have announced a number of strategic and operational initiatives designed to optimize costs and improve operational efficiency, including plans to divest our AMECO and Stork businesses, monetize surplus real estate and non-core investments, and rationalize resources and overhead across various geographies. 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,
29

Table of Contents
competition, economic conditions, and other risks described herein, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Any acquisitions, dispositions or other investments are subject to various risks or uncertainties and may not be completed in accordance with the expected plans or anticipated time frame, or at all, and will involve significant time and expense, which could disrupt or adversely affect our business.
We have made and expect to continue to pursue selective acquisitions or dispositions of businesses, or investments in strategic business opportunities. We may be unable to locate suitable acquisitions or investments, or we may be unable to consummate any such transactions on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Acquisitions may bring us into businesses we have not previously conducted or jurisdictions where we have had little to no prior operations experience and thus expose us to additional business risks that are different from those we have traditionally experienced. We also may encounter difficulties identifying all significant risks during our due diligence activities or integrating acquisitions and successfully managing or achieving the growth we expect to experience from these acquisitions. We may invest in companies or businesses that fail, causing a loss of all or part of our investment.
Divesting businesses involves risks and uncertainties, such as the difficulty separating assets related to such businesses from the businesses we retain, employee distraction, the need to obtain regulatory approvals and other third-party consents, which potentially disrupts customer and vendor relationships, and the fact that we may be subject to additional tax obligations or loss of certain tax benefits. Such actions also involve significant costs and require time and attention of 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, w e 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. W e 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. As a result, performance by the divested businesses or other conditions outside of our control could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, the divestiture of any business could negatively impact our profitability because of losses that may result from such a sale, the loss of revenues or a decrease in cash flows. Following a divestiture, we may also have less diversity in our business and in the markets we serve, as well as in our client base.
We may be unable to successfully integrate acquisitions or investments we make into our businesses or capture the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions and investments.
Whenever we make an acquisition or investment, we have and will continue to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating or aligning the business practices and operations of companies we acquire or invest in. Difficulties we may encounter in the integration/alignment process include:
•A delay in the integration or alignment of management teams, strategies, operations, products and services;
•Diversion of the attention of management as a result of the acquisition or investment;
•The consequences of a change in tax treatment, including the costs of integration/consolidation and compliance, and the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the acquisition/investment will not be realized;
•Differences in corporate culture and management philosophies;
•The ability to retain key personnel;
•The challenges of integrating or aligning complex systems, technology, networks and other assets into or to be compatible with ours in a way that minimizes any adverse effects on the business; and
•Potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the acquisition or investment, including the costs to integrate or consolidate beyond current estimates.
Any of these factors could negatively affect our ability to maintain business relationships or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition or investment.

Risks Related to our Common Stock
In the event we issue additional equity securities, stockholders' ownership percentages would be diluted.
We may in the future issue additional equity securities to pay for potential acquisitions or to otherwise fund our corporate initiatives. If we do issue additional equity securities, the issuance may dilute our earnings per share and stockholders' percentage ownership.
Delaware law, our charter documents and our stockholder rights agreement may impede or discourage a takeover or change of control.
Fluor is a Delaware corporation. Various anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law impose impediments on the ability of others to acquire control of us, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, certain provisions of our charters and bylaws may impede or discourage a takeover. For example:
•stockholders may not act by written consent;
•there are various restrictions on the ability of a stockholder to call a special meeting or to nominate a director for election; and
•our Board of Directors can authorize the issuance of preferred shares.
These types of provisions in our charters and bylaws could also make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if the acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders may be limited in the ability to obtain a premium for their shares.
On March 24, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of a limited duration stockholder rights agreement and declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right on each outstanding share of our common stock. The rights are designed to ensure that all of our stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of the company and to protect against abusive tactics to gain control of the company without paying all stockholders a premium for that control. The stockholder rights agreement would cause substantial dilution to any person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved in advance by our Board of Directors and may have the effect of delaying, discouraging or preventing a change in control that might otherwise be beneficial to stockholders and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements.
Results of Operations
In early 2020, we decided to retain our government business, which had been included in Disc Ops since the third quarter of 2019. As a result, the government business is no longer reported as a discontinued operation for any period presented. Our plan to sell the AMECO equipment business remains unchanged and it remains reported as a discontinued operation. We expect to complete the sale of the AMECO equipment business within the first half of 2021. The assets and liabilities of the AMECO business are classified as held for sale for all periods presented.
In light of our decision to retain our government business in 2020, we had the following six reportable segments:
◦Energy & Chemicals
◦Mining & Industrial
◦Infrastructure & Power
◦Government
◦Diversified Services
◦Other
Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, we will operate through three business segments: Energy Solutions, Urban Solutions and Mission Solutions. Energy Solutions will focus on energy transition, chemicals and traditional oil and gas opportunities. Urban Solutions will focus on mining, metals, advanced technologies, manufacturing, life sciences, infrastructure and our professional staffing services. Mission Solutions will focus on delivering solutions to federal agencies across the U.S. government and to select international opportunities. Additionally, we are initiating plans to sell Stork.
During 2019, we approved and initiated a broad restructuring plan designed to optimize costs, improve operational efficiency and support long-term sustainable growth. These restructuring activities included the rationalization of resources, investments, real estate and overhead across various geographies. We also met with a number of our clients, subcontractors
33

Table of Contents
and suppliers in an attempt to bring resolution to or get clarification on a variety of matters, including outstanding disputes and claims, pending change orders, schedule extensions, accounts receivable and other project close out items. The negotiations and agreements resulting from these meetings, as well as project developments during the second quarter, resulted in the recognition of significant charges across three segments, which are reflected in the results for 2019.

Our business has been adversely affected by the economic impacts of the outbreak of COVID-19 and the steep decline in oil prices that occurred in the early part of 2020. These events have created significant uncertainty and economic volatility and disruption, which have impacted and may continue to impact our business. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, reductions in demand for certain of our services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to our clients’, suppliers’ and other third parties’ diminished financial condition or financial distress, as well as governmental budget constraints. Although we initially assessed our project estimates for COVID-19 during the first quarter of 2020, continued isolation of estimated COVID-19 effects became increasingly difficult to measure as 2020 progressed. Our estimates reflect our best assessment of project results inclusive of COVID-19 effects, which have been dynamic as our projects have seen changes in prevailing regulations as COVID cases crested and fell. These impacts may continue or worsen under prolonged stay-at-home, social distancing, travel restrictions and other similar orders or restrictions. Significant uncertainty still exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of these events.
Because of the foregoing matters, we performed interim impairment testing of our goodwill, intangible assets and investments. We also evaluated the impact of these events on our reserves for credit risk and the fair value of our assets held for sale.
During 2020, we recognized the following significant charges:
• $298 million for impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets;
• $60 million for current expected credit losses associated with Energy & Chemicals clients;
• $146 million for impairments of assets held for sale (included in Disc Ops), of which $12 million related to goodwill; as well as
• Significant forecast revisions for project positions due to COVID-19 related schedule delays and associated cost growth.
During 2019, we recognized charges (related to cumulative catch up adjustments and loss projects) totaling $839 million in the Energy & Chemicals, Infrastructure & Power and Other segments. We also recognized $533 million related to impairments, restructuring and other exit costs. Additionally, we settled the remaining obligations associated with our defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom and recognized a loss on pension settlement of $138 million during 2019. During 2018, we recognized charges totaling $417 million related to projects in the Energy & Chemicals, Infrastructure & Power and Other segments. These project charges were partially offset by a gain of $125 million from the sale of a joint venture interest in the United Kingdom. Earnings in 2018 also benefitted from the adoption of ASC 606 which increased earnings before taxes by $132 million, primarily in the Energy & Chemicals segment.
During 2020, consolidated revenue declined primarily due to volume declines on Energy & Chemicals and Mining & Industrial projects, many of which were completed or nearing completion. The revenue decline in 2020 was further compounded by COVID-19 and the decline in oil prices. For example, a large mining project was suspended for six months due to COVID-19 and the volume of work in the Diversified Services segment significantly declined as turnaround work was delayed and maintenance scopes reduced. During 2019, consolidated revenue declined primarily due to volume declines on Energy & Chemicals projects as well as the completion of a power restoration project in Puerto Rico in 2018 and three large power projects in 2019.
During 2020, total segment profit increased due to the project charges in the Energy & Chemicals, Infrastructure & Power and Other segments recognized in 2019 (discussed above). The increase in total segment profit in 2020 was diminished

Table of Contents
by the impact of COVID-19 on numerous projects in 2020. During 2019, total segment profit significantly declined due to the 2019 project charges in the Energy & Chemicals, Infrastructure & Power and Other segments.
The effective tax rate from continuing operations was (9.0%), (45.3%) and 44.9% for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The 2020 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a $125 million benefit due to the utilization of a 2019 net operating loss carryback as allowed under the CARES ACT enacted on March 27, 2020. This benefit was offset by a $149 million increase in valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets primarily in the U.S. and the Netherlands. The 2019 effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by $731 million in charges related to establishing valuation allowances to reduce net deferred tax assets in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. The 2018 effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted due to a $79 million increase in valuation allowances to reduce certain deferred tax assets in the U.S., the Netherlands and Belgium.
Our results reported by foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are affected by foreign currency volatility. When the U.S. dollar appreciates against the non-U.S. dollar functional currencies of these subsidiaries, our reported revenue, cost and earnings, after translation into U.S. dollars, are lower than what they would have been had the U.S. dollar depreciated against the same foreign currencies or if there had been no change in the exchange rates.
Our margins, in some cases, may be favorably or unfavorably impacted by a change in the amount of materials and customer-furnished materials, which are accounted for as pass-through costs.
The lack of broad based new awards could continue to put pressure on our future earnings streams, particularly in the Energy & Chemicals segment. Backlog included $1.8 billion for projects in a loss position as of December 31, 2020. The decline in backlog during 2020 and 2019 primarily resulted from new award activity being outpaced by work performed. During 2019, certain suspended contracts associated with our joint venture in Mexico were removed from backlog. 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. 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 three additional years if renewal is considered to be probable, while RUPO includes only the amount of revenue we expect to recognize under ongoing operations and maintenance contracts with definite terms and substantive termination provisions.
Impairment, Restructuring and Other Exit Costs
During 2019, we initiated a restructuring plan designed to optimize costs and improve operational efficiency. These efforts primarily relate to the rationalization of resources, investments, real estate and overhead across various geographies, as well as the liquidation of certain components of the AMECO business that are being excluded from sale. Our planned restructuring activities were substantially completed by the end of 2020. Restructuring costs totaled $8 million and $240 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Information about our restructuring, which we believe is complete as of December 31, 2020, follows:

Restructuring and other exit costs: |  |
Severance | $ | 6.6 |  | $ | 63.9 |

(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019
Impairment expense: |  |  |
Goodwill associated with the Diversified Services reporting unit | $ | 168,568 |  |  | $ | 2,125 |

Information technology assets | 16,269 |  |  | — |
Total impairment expense | $ | 297,604 |  |  | $ | 292,551 |

In the first quarter of 2021, we announced a plan to sell Stork. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, we expect Stork will be reported as a discontinued operation and the assets and liabilities of Stork will be classified as held for sale. Once classified as available for sale, Stork's assets will be subjected to a quarterly recoverability analysis.
Segment Operations
We provide professional services in the fields of engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and modularization, operations, maintenance and asset integrity, as well as project management services, on a global basis and serve a diverse set of industries worldwide. We consider charges to include effects that negatively impact a project's gross margin, including negative adjustments to revenue and recognition of project losses.
Energy & Chemicals
Revenue in 2020 decreased compared to 2019 due to significant declines in the volume of execution activities for numerous upstream, downstream and chemicals projects nearing completion, partially offset by increased execution activity for an LNG project in Canada. Revenue in 2019 decreased compared to 2018 due to a significant decline in the volume of customer-furnished materials and project execution activities, combined with the impact of a lower volume of broad based new awards. The revenue decline in 2019 was also partially offset by increased execution activity for the LNG project.
Segment profit significantly increased during 2020 despite the adverse impacts of the recognition of reserves totaling $60 million for expected credit losses associated with certain joint venture clients, as well as margin diminution on a percentage-of-completion basis resulting from project positions taken with respect to COVID-19 related schedule delays and associated cost growth. The increase in segment profit during 2020 is primarily the result of charges taken during 2019, discussed below. Excluding these items, segment profit declined in 2020 due to the reduced execution activity of the upstream, downstream and chemicals projects discussed above, partially offset by the increase in activity for the LNG project and a decrease in overhead.
Segment profit in 2019 significantly decreased compared to 2018 as a result of charges taken during 2019 including $260 million for cost growth on an offshore project, $87 million for cost growth on two downstream projects and scope reductions on a large upstream project, $26 million for the write-off of pre-contract costs, $26 million on embedded foreign currency derivatives and $31 million from the resolution of close-out matters. Segment profit in 2018 was adversely impacted by charges of $133 million for cost growth on a completed, downstream project and $40 million for cost growth on the aforementioned offshore project.
The changes in segment profit margin in 2020 and 2019 were primarily attributable to the same factors that affected revenue and segment profit. Segment profit margin in 2020 was also adversely impacted by a shift from higher margin work in 2019 to lower margin work in 2020 in certain geographies.
No significant awards were booked in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 and declining oil prices on our customers' capital spend. New awards in 2019 included a downstream project in the United Kingdom as well as chemicals projects in China, India and on the U.S. gulf coast. New awards in 2018 included an LNG export facility in Canada as well as an engineering and procurement contract for a refinery in Texas.
The decline in backlog during 2020 resulted from the decline in new award activity and the de-recognition of a suspended downstream project. The decrease in backlog during 2019 resulted primarily from new award activity being outpaced by work performed as well as the removal of certain contracts associated with our joint venture in Mexico that were suspended during 2019.
We expect our Energy & Chemicals segment to benefit from opportunities in the chemicals and non-traditional oil and gas markets.

Mining & Industrial
Revenue decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to a six month suspension during 2020 of a large mining project in South America due to COVID-19 and a decline in the volume of execution activities for a large life sciences project and two mining projects completed or nearing completion. These revenue declines were partially offset by increased execution activities on two advanced technologies projects as well as a mining project and a metals project, both in North America. Revenue increased in 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to increased execution activities for several large mining projects as well as ramping up construction activity on the two advanced technologies projects.
Segment profit declined in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to a gain of $31 million recognized in 2019 resulting from a favorable resolution of a longstanding customer dispute on a mining project. Segment profit in 2020 was also adversely impacted by the decline in activity for the life sciences project and mining projects nearing completion as well as the mining project in South America that was impacted by COVID-19. The decrease in segment profit in 2020 was partially offset by a reduction in overhead expenses. Segment profit in 2019 increased compared to 2018 due to the increased volume of execution activities for the large mining projects and the two advanced technologies projects that drove the increase in revenue as well as the favorable resolution of the customer dispute. The decline in segment profit margin in 2020 and the increase in segment profit margin in 2019 was primarily the result of the favorable resolution of the customer dispute in 2019.
New awards in 2020 included a significant North American steel project as well as several front-end studies that we believe positions the segment well for follow-on EPC awards. New awards in 2019 included an advanced manufacturing project in the Netherlands. New awards in 2018 included a copper project in Peru, an iron ore replacement mine in Australia and a mine expansion project in Peru. The decrease in backlog during 2020 and 2019 primarily resulted from work performed outpacing new award activity.
We expect our mining business line to benefit from the growing global demand for copper and our advanced technologies and life sciences business line to benefit from the increasing demand for data storage facilities and biological facilities.
Infrastructure & Power
Revenue in 2020 increased compared to 2019 primarily driven by an increase in execution activities for several infrastructure projects, including a year-over-year increase on a rail project which was canceled in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue during 2020 was partially offset by a decrease in execution activities for several infrastructure projects nearing completion. Revenue in 2019 decreased compared to 2018 primarily due to the substantial completion of the three large power projects during 2019. This decline was partially offset by increased project execution activities on several infrastructure projects. Revenue also reflects the adverse impact of various forecast revisions discussed below.
Segment profit in 2020 significantly improved compared to 2019 primarily due to forecast revisions on several power and infrastructure projects recognized in 2019 (discussed below). A positive settlement on a canceled rail project in 2020 was offset by charges for cost growth in the infrastructure legacy portfolio. Segment profit in 2019 significantly decreased compared to 2018 due to charges of $135 million for the settlement of client disputes and cost growth on certain close-out matters for the three power projects discussed above and $133 million resulting from late engineering changes, schedule-driven cost growth and negotiations with clients and subcontractors on pending change orders for several infrastructure projects. Segment profit in 2018 included $188 million in charges on one of the aforementioned power projects as a result of cost growth and a $125 million gain associated with the sale of a joint venture interest in the United Kingdom. The changes in segment profit margin in 2020 and 2019 were primarily attributable to the same factors impacting segment profit in those years. Lower margin contributions from certain infrastructure projects for which charges were recognized during 2020 and 2019 may continue to adversely impact near term segment profit margin. We expect approximately 35% of the segment's revenue in 2021 will be generated from zero margin projects as of December 31, 2020.
New awards in 2020 included a highway project in Texas. New awards in 2019 included a road project in Texas and a rail project in Chicago. New awards in 2018 included an international bridge project and the LAX Automated People Mover project.
The decrease in backlog during 2020 was primarily due to a decline in new award activity in part driven by more selectivity in pursuing projects as well as delayed procurements. The decrease in backlog during 2019 was primarily due to work performed and project cancellations outpacing new award activity. Backlog included $1.5 billion for projects in a loss position as of December 31, 2020.
We believe our infrastructure business is well positioned for select opportunities in the U.S. due to urbanization and an aging infrastructure system. These opportunities may be enhanced with the introduction of a federal infrastructure spending bill.

Government
Revenue in 2020 decreased compared to 2019 primarily due to the completion of a nuclear decommissioning project in 2019 as well a decline in work performed for FEMA. The decrease in 2020 revenue was further driven by the recognition of service fee revenue in 2019 upon the favorable settlement of project claims on two cancelled nuclear power projects in the U.S. The decline in revenue in 2020 was partially offset by increased project execution activities at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as well as our DOE sites. Revenue in 2019 decreased compared to 2018 substantially driven by the completion of a power restoration project in Puerto Rico in 2018 as well as a decrease in project execution activities for a logistics assistance program in Afghanistan, partially offset by an increase in execution activities at the Savannah River DOE site and the favorable settlement of the two nuclear power plant projects in 2019.
The decrease in segment profit in 2020 was substantially driven by the favorable settlement of the two nuclear power plant projects in 2019 as well as the completion of the nuclear decommissioning project in 2019 and the decline in FEMA work in 2020. Segment profit in 2020 was also adversely impacted by COVID-19, particularly as it relates to estimated fee recoveries on certain projects. The increase in segment profit in 2019 was due to the favorable settlement of the two nuclear power plant projects. The changes in segment profit margin in 2020 and 2019 were primarily attributable to the same factors that affected revenue and segment profit.
New awards in 2020, 2019 and 2018 included one-year extensions of the logistics assistance contract in Afghanistan and the Savannah River environmental management contract. New awards in 2018 also included a five-year extension of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve contract and a thirty-month extension at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site.
The decline in backlog during 2020 and 2019 resulted from new award activity being outpaced by work performed. Backlog included $1.0 billion and $1.9 billion of unfunded government contracts as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Diversified Services
As discussed elsewhere, most of the operating results of our AMECO equipment business are included in Disc Ops. The retained portion of the AMECO operations have been or are in the process of being liquidated but do not meet the qualifications of Disc Ops. These retained operations remain in the Diversified Services segment.
Revenue in 2020 decreased compared to 2019 primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 and declining oil prices resulting in lower volumes in the Stork business and the staffing business as turnaround work is delayed and maintenance scopes reduced. Revenue declines in 2020 were further driven by reduced volume from the winding down of our AMECO operations in Mexico. Revenue in 2019 decreased compared to 2018 primarily due to lower volumes in the Stork business in Europe, the cancellation of a large operations and maintenance project in North America in 2018 and scope reductions on a maintenance project in Australia. The decline in 2019 revenue was further driven by scope reductions on a large power services project in the U.S. and lower volumes at the AMECO equipment business in Mexico. The revenue declines in 2019 were partially offset by higher contributions from the staffing business in North America and Europe.
Segment profit in 2020 remained flat compared to 2019. The lower volumes in the Stork business and the staffing business were offset by a reduction in expenses related to close out activities at our AMECO operations in Mexico as well as a reduction in overhead costs. Segment profit in 2019 decreased compared to 2018 primarily driven by the above mentioned reduced volumes in the operations and maintenance business, including higher margin specialty services, and the closure of the AMECO equipment business in Mexico. The decline in segment profit in 2019 was further driven by charges related to negotiations with clients and joint venture partners. The declines in segment profit margin in 2020 and 2019 were primarily due to the same factors affecting segment profit.
The decrease in backlog during 2020 was primarily due to the postponement of new maintenance work due to COVID-19 and the decline in oil prices. The increase in backlog during 2019 was primarily due to a large award for the power services business. Our equipment and staffing businesses do not report backlog or new awards.
Other
Other includes the operations of NuScale, as well as two lump-sum projects including a plant for which we serve as a subcontractor to a commercial client (the "Radford" project) and a weapons storage and maintenance facility (the "Warren" project). The Radford and Warren projects continue to project losses as of December 31, 2020.
Revenue in 2020 increased compared to 2019 due to increased execution activities for both the Radford and Warren projects.
39

Table of Contents
Segment loss in 2020 improved due to the recognition of significant charges on the Radford and Warren projects in 2019. Forecast revisions in 2019 resulted in charges of $59 million on the Warren project and $83 million on the Radford project for various engineering and cost growth associated with the facilities. Segment loss in 2018 of $56 million was driven by forecast revisions on the Radford project. Our forecast for both projects is based upon our assessment of the probable cost to finish the projects as well as our assessment of the recovery of unapproved change orders. The Radford project is substantially complete with systems turnover to the client expected in the first quarter of 2021.
NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable expenses, included in the determination of segment loss, were $84 million, $66 million and $74 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in NuScale costs during 2020 was due to an increase in research and development activities as NuScale received final design certification by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in August of 2020. Capital contributions by NuScale's NCI holders of $9 million, $49 million and $2 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, reduced the need for additional funding from Fluor.

The increase in compensation expense in 2020 was primarily due to higher stock price driven compensation, as our stock price increased from the date of grant to the end of the year. The decrease in compensation expense in 2019 was primarily due to lower stock price and performance driven compensation. During 2020 and 2019, most major foreign currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar resulting in foreign currency exchange losses. In 2018, most major foreign currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar resulting in foreign currency exchange gains. The decrease in other expense in 2020 was driven by the realization of our restructuring efforts and lower travel costs due to COVID-19.
The increase in net interest expense during 2020 was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income driven by lower interest rates in 2020. The decrease in net interest expense during 2019 was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income from time deposits in 2019 as well as a payment made in 2018 for a "make-whole" premium associated with the redemption of the 2021 Notes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on information available through the date of the issuance of the financial statements and, accordingly, actual results in future periods could differ from these estimates. Significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements apply to the following critical accounting policies:
Revenue Recognition for Long-Term Contracts. We recognize our engineering and construction contract revenue over time as we provide services to satisfy our performance obligations. We generally use the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion measure of progress as it best depicts how control transfers to our clients. The cost-to-cost approach measures progress towards completion based on the ratio of contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. Use of the cost-to-cost measure of progress requires us to prepare estimates of total expected revenue and cost to complete our projects.

Due to the nature of our industry, there is significant complexity in our estimation of total expected revenue and cost, for which we must make significant judgments. Our contracts with our customers may contain award fees, incentive fees, liquidated damages or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the contract price to arrive at estimated revenue. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable we will realize that amount. Our estimates of variable consideration and our determination of its inclusion in project revenue for accounting purposes are based on an assessment of our anticipated performance and other information that may be available to us.
At a project level, we have specific practices and procedures to review our estimate of total revenue and cost. Each project team reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations, which impact the project’s accounting outcome. As part of this process, the project team reviews information such as any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule and identified risks and opportunities. The accuracy of our revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of our project estimates, which can change from period to period for factors such as:
•Complexity in original design;
•Extent of changes from original design;
•Different site conditions than assumed in our bid;
•The productivity, availability and skill level of labor;
•Weather conditions when executing a project;
•The technical maturity of the technologies involved;
•Length of time to complete the project;
•Availability and cost of equipment and materials;
•Subcontractor and joint venture partner performance;
•Expected costs of warranties; and
•Our ability to recover for additional contract costs.
We recognize changes in contract estimates on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the changes are identified. Such changes in contract estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. Changes in contract estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate. If we estimate that a project will have costs in excess of revenue, we recognize the total loss in the period it is identified.
Variable Consideration. The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims, unpriced change orders, award and incentive fees, liquidated damages and penalties. We consider variable consideration in the development of our project forecasts so that our forecasted revenue reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be probable of recovering without a future significant reversal. We estimate the amount of revenue attributable to variable consideration using the expected value method (i.e., the sum of probability-weighted amounts) or the most likely amount method, whichever offers better prediction. Significant judgments are required in developing estimates for variable consideration.
Fair Value Measurements. We are often required to use fair value measurement techniques with inputs that require the use of estimates and involve significant judgment. These circumstances include:
•Goodwill impairment testing of reporting units when quantitative analysis is deemed necessary
•Impairment testing of intangible assets when impairment indicators are present
•Impairment testing of investments as part of other than temporary impairment assessments when impairment indicators are present
•Fair value assessments of businesses held for sale that are reported at fair value less cost to sell
•Purchase price allocations for acquired businesses
When performing quantitative fair value or impairment evaluations, we estimate the fair value of our assets by considering the results of either or both income-based and market-based valuation approaches. 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. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using the appropriate weighted-average cost of capital at the date of evaluation. The weighted-average cost of capital is comprised of the cost of equity and the cost of debt with a weighting for each that reflects our current capital structure. Preparation of long-term forecasts involve significant judgments involving consideration of our backlog, expected future awards, customer attrition, working capital assumptions, and general market trends and conditions. Significant changes in these forecasts or any valuation assumptions, such as the discount rate selected, could affect the estimated fair value of our assets and could result in impairment expenses. Under the market approach, we
41

Table of Contents
consider market information such as multiples of comparable publicly traded companies and/or completed sales transactions to develop or validate our fair value conclusions, when appropriate and available.
Due to the impact of COVID-19 and the decline in oil prices in 2020, we performed interim impairment testing of our goodwill, intangibles and certain other investments and recognized impairment expenses during the first quarter of 2020 of $169 million, $27 million and $86 million, respectively. All other factors being equal, a one hundred basis point change in the discount rates used in these valuations would change the fair value of these assets by $47 million, $2 million and $3 million, respectively.
During the third quarter of 2019, we performed quantitative testing of our goodwill, intangibles and other investments. The majority of our goodwill resides in our Diversified Services reporting unit. Based on the testing performed, the fair value of the Diversified Services reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill, by 20%. All other factors being equal, a one hundred basis point increase in the discount rate used in the valuation would have resulted in its fair value exceeding its carrying value by 7%. During the third quarter of 2019, we recognized impairment charges of $257 million related to certain investments and $34 million related to customer relationship intangible assets. All other factors being equal, a one hundred basis point change in the discount rates used in these valuations would have affected these impairments by $20 million and $4 million, respectively.
Restructuring Accruals. We recognize and accrue restructuring related termination benefits when the recognition criteria under GAAP have been met, depending on the nature of the termination benefit. Recognition of termination benefits requires the use of estimates in determining the expected termination benefits payable, when they are probable of being realized and can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates consider the number of employees that we expect will be eligible to receive the benefit and the amount of benefit potentially payable to each employee based on either the terms of the plan or statutory entitlement.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our liquidity is provided by available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, capacity under our credit facility and, when necessary, access to the capital markets. We have both committed and uncommitted lines of credit available for revolving loans and letters of credit. We believe that for at least the next 12 months, cash generated from operations, along with our unused credit capacity and cash position, is sufficient to support operating requirements. However, we regularly review our sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to increase our liquidity position.
In February 2021, we entered into an amended and restated $1.65 billion credit facility which matures in February 2023 and replaces the now terminated $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facilities. The amended credit facility contains customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a debt-to-capitalization ratio that cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.00, 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, as defined in the amended credit facility, of $1.5 billion which may be reduced to $1.25 billion upon the repayment of debt. If the amended credit facility had been in place as of December 31, 2020, our financial covenants would have limited our further borrowings to approximately $934 million. If there are future losses, the amount of available credit capacity under our committed facility may be further reduced.
As of December 31, 2020, letters of credit totaling $418 million were outstanding under our predecessor lines of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of December 31, 2020. These credit facilities also contained customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a debt-to-capitalization ratio that could not exceed 0.6 to 1.0.
Cash and cash equivalents combined with marketable securities were $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2020 and $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2019. 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 $984 million and $944 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents exclude deposits of U.S. legal entities that are either swept into overnight, offshore accounts or invested in offshore, short-term time deposits, to which there is unrestricted access.

Table of Contents
In evaluating our liquidity needs, we consider cash and cash equivalents held by our consolidated variable interest entities (joint ventures and partnerships). These amounts (which totaled $655 million and $393 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively) were not necessarily readily available for general purposes. We also consider the extent to which client advances (which totaled $125 million and $69 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, other than unremitted earnings required to meet our working capital and long-term investment needs in non-U.S. foreign jurisdictions where we operate.

Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from our EPC activities and are affected by 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 the 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 and the payments 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 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.

During 2020, consolidated working capital decreased. Specific factors related to the change in working capital include:
•Decreases in accounts receivable which resulted from normal billing and collections for several projects in the Infrastructure & Power, Government and Diversified Services segments.
•Decreases in contract assets which resulted from normal project execution activities for several projects in the Energy & Chemicals, Mining & Industrial, and Diversified Services segments.
During 2019, working capital significantly decreased. Specific factors related to the change in working capital include:
•Decreases in accounts receivable which resulted primarily from normal billing and collections for several projects in the Mining & Industrial segment as well as the LOGCAP IV program in Afghanistan.
•Decreases in contract assets which resulted primarily from normal project execution activities for several projects in the Energy & Chemicals, Infrastructure & Power and Government segments.
Excluding the non-cash impact of adopting ASC 606, working capital increased during 2018. Specific factors related to the change in working capital include:
•Increases in contract assets which resulted primarily from normal project execution activities on a large mining project and several infrastructure projects, partially offset by decreases in contract assets on several Energy & Chemicals projects.
•A decrease in contract liabilities in the Energy & Chemicals segment, which resulted primarily from normal project execution activities on several large projects.
•An increase in accounts payable in the Mining & Industrial segment, which resulted from normal invoicing activities on a large mining project.
•A decrease in other current assets, driven primarily by the receipt of income tax refunds in 2018.
The decrease in operating cash flow in 2020 and the increase in operating cash flow in 2019 resulted primarily from changes in working capital balances.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, we entered into a settlement agreement with a client in connection with a dispute over client-imposed delays and cost overruns on a cancelled rail project in Maryland. We received an initial settlement payment of $116 million in December 2020 and we are contractually owed an additional $150 million to be paid no later than December 2021.
During 2020, we paid approximately $40 million in legal and accounting fees associated with the internal review that was completed in December 2020.
We contributed $130 million, $115 million and $150 million into our DC plans during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $25 million, $15 million and $45 million into our DB plans during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We expect to contribute up to $12 million to our DB plans in 2021, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required.
All periods included the operations of NuScale, which are primarily for research and development activities associated with the licensing and commercialization of small modular nuclear reactor technology. NuScale expenses included in the determination of segment profit were $84 million, $66 million and $74 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. NuScale expenses for 2020, 2019 and 2018 were reported net of qualified reimbursable expenses of $71 million, $56 million and $62 million, respectively. Capital contributions by NuScale's NCI holders of $9 million, $49 million and $2 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, reduced the need for additional funding from Fluor.
Investing Activities
We hold cash in bank deposits and marketable securities which are governed by our investment policy. This policy focuses on, in order of priority, the preservation of capital, maintenance of liquidity and maximization of yield. These investments may include money market funds, bank deposits placed with highly-rated financial institutions, repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by U.S. Government-related securities, high-grade commercial paper and high quality short-term and medium-term fixed income securities.

Capital expenditures are primarily related to construction equipment associated with equipment operations now included in Disc Ops, as well as expenditures for facilities and investments in information technology. Proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are primarily related to the disposal of construction equipment associated with the equipment business in Disc Ops.
During 2020, we sold substantially all of the assets of our AMECO equipment business in Jamaica as well as 100% of our interest in an equipment rental business in Europe. The operations of the AMECO business in Jamaica were included in Disc Ops through the date of sale. Also in 2020, we sold our interests in two infrastructure joint ventures in the Netherlands that are currently in the operations and maintenance phase of the contract and one infrastructure joint venture in the U.S. In 2018, we sold our interest in a joint venture in the United Kingdom.
Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in 2020 and 2019 included capital contributions to two infrastructure joint ventures in the United States. Investments in 2018 included capital contributions to an infrastructure joint venture in the United States as well as investments in COOEC Fluor. We completed our final funding commitment to COOEC Fluor of $26 million during 2021.
Financing Activities
We have a common stock repurchase program, authorized by the Board of Directors, to purchase shares in the open market or privately negotiated transactions at our discretion. In 2018, we repurchased 1,097,126 shares of common stock under our current and previously authorized stock repurchase programs. As of December 31, 2020, 10,513,093 shares could still be purchased under the existing stock repurchase program.
Quarterly cash dividends were typically paid during the month following the quarter in which they were declared.
Therefore, dividends declared in the fourth quarter of 2019 were paid in the first quarter of 2020. Quarterly cash dividends of
$0.21 per share were declared in 2018 and in the first, second and third quarters of 2019. Quarterly cash dividends
of $0.10 per share were declared in the fourth quarter of 2019. We suspended our dividend during April 2020. The
payment and level of future cash dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors.
In August 2018, we issued $600 million of 4.250% Senior Notes (the “2028 Notes”) due September 15, 2028 and received proceeds of $595 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2019.
In September 2018, we used a portion of the proceeds from the 2028 Notes to fully redeem our $500 million 3.375%
Senior Notes (the “2021 Notes”) due September 15, 2021. The redemption price of $503 million was equal to 100 percent of
the principal amount of the 2011 Notes plus a “make-whole” premium of $3 million.
Other borrowings represent short-term bank loans and other financing arrangements associated with Stork. During the second and third quarters of 2018, we issued commercial paper to meet our short-term liquidity needs. All of the outstanding commercial paper was repaid in October 2018.
Distributions paid to holders of NCI represent cash outflows to partners of consolidated partnerships or joint ventures created primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. Distributions in 2020 and 2019 primarily related to a mining joint venture project in Chile. Distributions in 2018 primarily related to transportation joint venture projects in the United States. Capital contributions by NCI in 2020 related to three infrastructure joint ventures in the United States. Capital contributions by NCI in 2019 primarily related to initial investments from new partners in NuScale.
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash
During 2019, most major foreign currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation gains of $101 million of which $10 million related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. During 2018, most major foreign currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation losses of $117 million of which $62 million related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. The cash held in foreign currencies will primarily be used for project-related expenditures in those currencies, and therefore our exposure to exchange gains and losses is generally mitigated.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Letters of Credit
As of December 31, 2020, letters of credit totaling $418 million were outstanding under committed lines of credit and letters of credit totaling $862 million were outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit. Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily 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.
45

Table of Contents
Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to our clients. These agreements are entered into primarily to support project execution commitments. The performance guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project to a period extending beyond contract completion. 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 $14 billion as of December 31, 2020. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated cost to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed. For lump-sum contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, we may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The performance guarantee obligation was not material as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate us to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower’s obligation.
Inflation
Although inflation and cost trends affect our results, we mitigate these trends by seeking to fix our cost at or soon after the time of award on lump-sum or fixed-price contracts or to recover cost increases in cost reimbursable contracts.
Variable Interest Entities
We frequently form joint ventures or partnerships with others primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. We assess our joint ventures and partnerships at inception to determine if any meet the qualifications of a VIE as defined in GAAP. If a joint venture or partnership is a VIE and we are the primary beneficiary, the joint venture or partnership is consolidated and our partners' interests are recognized as NCI. Additional discussion of our VIEs may be found in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Cash and marketable securities are deposited with major banks throughout the world. Such deposits are placed with high quality institutions and the amounts invested in any single institution are limited to the extent possible in order to minimize concentration of counterparty credit risk. Marketable securities may consist of time deposits, registered money market funds, U.S. agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, commercial paper, non-U.S. government securities and corporate debt securities. We have not incurred any credit risk losses related to deposits in cash or investments in marketable securities.
Certain of our contracts are subject to foreign currency risk. We limit exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in most of our engineering and construction contracts through provisions that require client payments in currencies corresponding to the currency in which cost is incurred. As a result, we generally do not need to hedge foreign currency cash flows for contract work performed. However, in cases where revenue and expenses are not denominated in the same currency, we may hedge our exposure, if material and if an efficient market exists, as discussed below.
We utilize derivative instruments to mitigate certain financial exposures, including currency and oil price risk associated with engineering and construction contracts, currency risk associated with monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies and risk associated with interest rate volatility. As of December 31, 2020, we had total gross notional amounts of $977 million of foreign currency contracts (primarily related to the Canadian Dollar, Chinese Yuan, British Pound, Euro, Indian Rupee and Philippine Peso) and $28 million of commodity contracts. The foreign currency and commodity contracts are of varying duration, none of which extend beyond December 2024. Our historical gains and losses associated with foreign currency contracts have typically been immaterial, and have largely mitigated the exposures being hedged. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
Our results reported by foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are also affected by foreign currency volatility. When the U.S. dollar appreciates against the non-U.S. dollar functional currencies of these subsidiaries, our reported revenue, cost and earnings, after translation into U.S. dollars, are lower than what they would have been had the U.S. dollar depreciated against the same foreign currencies or if there had been no change in the exchange rates.

Our long-term debt obligations typically carry a fixed-rate coupon, and therefore, our exposure to interest rate risk is not material.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The information required by this Item is submitted as a separate section of this Form 10-K as described in Item 15.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures. These controls and procedures should be designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ICFR that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our ICFR as of December 31, 2020 based upon the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2013) and concluded that our ICFR was effective.
Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our ICFR. Their report follows this management report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our 2019 10-K, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2019 due to the existence of material weakness in our ICFR. Material weakness describes a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in ICFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
During 2020, management implemented several remediations to address the material weakness by:
•Taking personnel actions, including separations, for individuals involved in projects associated with the material weaknesses
•Establishing additional monitoring procedures to help ensure that our policies and procedures are consistently followed at the project level, including enhanced requirements for business line approval and supporting documentation
•Reinforcing existing policies, including those policies that are critical to the generation of accounting information, to provide further assurance that the financial statements are subject to additional project-level controls; and
•Conducting expanded training on ethical behavior and internal certification processes.
Except for the changes made in connection with our implementation of the remediation efforts discussed above, there have been no changes in our ICFR during the fourth quarter of 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our ICFR.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Fluor Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Fluor Corporation in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Fluor Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fluor Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements“). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 26, 2021 expressed an unmodified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

|  | Estimation of the Fair Value of Goodwill and Intangibles
Description of the Matter |  | As more fully described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, certain of the Company’s businesses were adversely affected by the economic impacts of the steep decline in oil prices and the outbreak of COVID-19. These events caused significant uncertainty, economic volatility and disruption that affected certain of the Company’s operations, and the Company’s impairment tests of its goodwill and intangible assets. As a result of the impairment tests, the Company recognized a $195 million impairment loss related to goodwill and certain intangible customer relationships within the Diversified Services reporting unit, which is the amount by which the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of these assets. Auditing management’s assessment of impairment involved a high degree of subjectivity due to the significant estimation uncertainty related to assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the reporting units of goodwill and intangible assets. When estimating the fair value of the reporting units for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, significant assumptions used in management’s assessments included revenue growth rates, expected cash outflows, terminal growth rates and discount rates. When estimating the fair value of intangible assets for purposes of testing for impairment, significant assumptions used in management’s assessments included revenue growth rates, expected cash outflows, royalty rates, attrition rate and discount rates. The aforementioned assumptions are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions that materially impact the fair value of the reporting units as well as intangible assets.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |  | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company's processes to estimate the fair value of the Company’s reporting units of goodwill and intangible assets. This included controls over management's review of the significant assumptions underlying the fair value estimates. Our testing of the Company's estimates of fair value included, among other procedures, evaluating the significant assumptions as discussed above. For example, we compared the significant assumptions to current industry and economic trends and historical performance, performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the change in the fair value estimates that would result from changes in the assumptions and recalculated management's estimates. We also involved our valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of key assumptions, which included terminal growth rates, royalty rates, attrition rate, and the discount rates used in the fair value estimates.

|  | Long-term revenue recognition on engineering and construction contracts
Description of the Matter |  | As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes engineering and construction contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer, using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. Revenue recognition under this method is judgmental, particularly on lump-sum contracts, as it requires the Company to prepare estimates of total contract revenue and total contract costs, including costs to complete in-process contracts. Auditing the Company’s estimates of total contract revenue and costs used to recognize revenue on engineering and construction contracts involved significant auditor judgment, as it required the evaluation of subjective factors such as assumptions related to project schedule and completion, forecasted labor, material and subcontract costs and variable consideration estimates related to incentive fees, unpriced changes orders and contractual disputes and claims. These assumptions involved significant management judgment, which affects the measurement of revenue recognized by the Company.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |  | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the estimation process that affect revenue recognized on engineering and construction contracts. This included controls over management’s monitoring and review of project costs and variable consideration estimates, including the Company’s procedures to validate the completeness and accuracy of data used to determine the estimates. To evaluate the Company’s contract estimates related to revenue recognized on engineering and construction contracts, we selected a sample of projects and, among other procedures, obtained and inspected the contract agreements, amendments and change orders to test the existence of customer arrangements and understand the scope and pricing of the related contracts; performed site-visits for certain contracts to observe progress; observed selected contract review meetings, inspected presentations prepared by management and interviewed contract team personnel to obtain an understanding of the status of operational performance and progress on the related contracts; evaluated the Company’s estimated revenue and costs to complete by obtaining and analyzing supporting documentation of management’s estimates of variable consideration and contract costs, including external letters from legal counsel supporting the Company’s legal basis related to certain contractual matters including contractual disputes; and compared contract profitability estimates in the current year to historical estimates and actual performance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business
Fluor Corporation (“we”, “us”, “our” or “the company”) is a holding company that owns the stock of a number of subsidiaries, as well as interests in joint ventures. Acting through these entities, we are one of the largest professional services firms providing engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and modularization, operations, maintenance and asset integrity, as well as project management services, on a global basis. We provide services to our clients in a diverse set of industries worldwide including oil and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, mining and metals, infrastructure, life sciences, advanced manufacturing and advanced technologies. We are also a service provider to the U.S. federal government and governments abroad; and, we perform operations, maintenance and asset integrity activities globally for major industrial clients.
We had the following six reportable segments as of December 31, 2020:
•Energy & Chemicals
•Mining & Industrial
•Infrastructure & Power
•Government
•Diversified Services
•Other
The Energy & Chemicals segment focuses on opportunities in the upstream, midstream, downstream, chemical, petrochemical, offshore and onshore oil and gas production, LNG and pipeline markets. This segment has long served a broad spectrum of industries offering a full range of design, engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and project management services.
The Mining & Industrial segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction and project management services to the mining and metals, life sciences, advanced manufacturing and advanced technologies sectors.
The Infrastructure & Power segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction and project management services to the transportation and power sectors.
The Government segment provides engineering and construction services, logistics and life-support, contingency operations support, management, mission operations, environmental remediation and decommissioning to the U.S. government and governments abroad.
The Diversified Services segment provides a wide array of asset maintenance, asset integrity and staffing services around the world. Most of the operating results of our AMECO equipment business previously included in Diversified Services are now included in discontinued operations. Certain operations of AMECO, primarily in Mexico, are in the process of being liquidated and did not meet the qualifications of discontinued operations. These retained operations will remain in the Diversified Services segment until their liquidation.
Other includes the operations of NuScale, as well as two lump-sum projects including a plant for which we serve as a subcontractor to a commercial client (the "Radford" project) and a weapons storage and maintenance facility (the "Warren" project). The Radford project is substantially complete with systems turnover to the client expected in the first quarter of 2021.
In the first quarter of 2020, we decided to retain our government business, which had previously been included in Disc Ops. As a result, the government business is no longer reported as a discontinued operation for any period presented. Our plan to sell the AMECO equipment business remains unchanged and it remains reported as a discontinued operation. We expect to complete the sale of the AMECO equipment business within the first half of 2021. The assets and liabilities of the AMECO business are classified as held for sale for all periods presented.
In the first quarter of 2021, we announced a plan to sell Stork, which we expect will be reported as a discontinued operation beginning with the first quarter of 2021.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Fluor Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain amounts disclosed in 2019 and 2018 have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation, which includes presenting the operations of the government business in Cont Ops. Management has evaluated all material events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2020 through the filing date of the 2020 10-K.
We frequently form joint ventures or partnerships with others primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. If a joint venture or partnership is a VIE and we are the primary beneficiary, the joint venture or partnership is consolidated and our partners' interests are recognized as NCI. As is customary in our industry, for other construction partnerships and joint ventures, we generally recognize our proportionate share of revenue, cost and profit and use the one-line equity method for the investment. In other instances, the cost and equity methods of accounting are used, depending on our respective ownership interest and amount of influence on the entity, as well as other factors. At times, we also execute projects through collaborative arrangements for which we recognize our relative share of revenue and cost.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. These estimates are based on information available through the date of the issuance of the financial statements. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. For our international subsidiaries, the functional currency is typically the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates. Translation gains and losses are recorded in OCI. Gains and losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into the functional currency are included in earnings.
Revenue Recognition
Engineering and construction contracts. We recognize engineering and construction contract revenue over time as we provide services to satisfy our performance obligations. We generally use the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion measure of progress as it best depicts how control transfers to our clients. The cost-to-cost approach measures progress towards completion based on the ratio of contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. Engineering and construction contracts are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance obligation) and are not segmented between types of services on a single project. Cost of revenue includes an allocation of depreciation and amortization. Where applicable, customer-furnished materials, labor and equipment and subcontractor materials, labor and equipment, are included in revenue and cost of revenue when management believes that we are acting as a principal rather than as an agent (i.e., we integrate the materials, labor and equipment into the deliverables promised to the customer). Customer-furnished materials are only included in revenue and cost when the contract includes construction activity and we have visibility into the amount the customer is paying for the materials or there is a reasonable basis for estimating the amount. We recognize revenue, but not profit, on certain uninstalled materials that are not specifically produced, fabricated, or constructed for a project. Revenue on these uninstalled materials is recognized when the cost is incurred and control is transferred. Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the client. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Customer payments on engineering and construction contracts are typically due within 30 to 45 days of billing, depending on the contract.
Service contracts. For the majority of our operations and maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized when services are performed and contractually billable. For all other service contracts, we recognize revenue over time using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method. Service contracts that include multiple performance obligations are segmented between types of services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract. Revenue recognized on service contracts that has not been billed to clients is recorded as contract assets. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are recorded as contract liabilities. Customer payments on service contracts are typically due within 30 to 90 days of billing, depending on the contract.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Variable consideration. The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims, unpriced change orders, award and incentive fees, liquidated damages and penalties. We consider variable consideration in the development of our project forecasts so that our forecasted revenue reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be probable of recovering without a significant reversal. We estimate the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using the expected value method (i.e., the sum of probability-weighted amounts) or the most likely amount method, whichever offers better prediction.
Warranties. We generally provide limited duration warranties for work performed under our contracts. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred, and any estimated costs for warranties are included in the individual project cost estimates for purposes of accounting for long-term contracts.
Practical Expedients. If we have a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of our performance completed to date (a service contract in which we bill a fixed amount for each hour of service provided), we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice for services performed. We do not adjust the contract price for the effects of a significant financing component where, at contract inception, the period between service provision and customer payment will be one year or less. We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by us from our customers (use taxes, value added taxes, some excise taxes).
RUPO. RUPO represents a measure of the value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. Although RUPO reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. RUPO is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. RUPO differs from backlog discussed elsewhere in the 2020 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 three additional years if renewal is considered to be probable, while RUPO includes only the amount of revenue we expect to recognize under ongoing operations and maintenance contracts with definite terms and substantive termination provisions.
Project Estimates
Due to the nature of our industry, there is significant complexity in our estimation of total expected revenue and cost, for which we must make significant judgments. Our contracts with our customers may contain award fees, incentive fees, liquidated damages or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the contract price to arrive at estimated revenue. These variable amounts generally are earned upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable we will realize that amount. Our estimates of variable consideration and our determination of its inclusion in project revenue for accounting purposes are based on an assessment of our anticipated performance and other information that may be available to us.
At a project level, we have specific practices and procedures to review our estimate of total revenue and cost. Each project team reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations, which impact the project’s accounting outcome. As part of this process, the project team reviews information such as any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule and identified risks and opportunities. The accuracy of our revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of our project estimates, which can change from period to period for factors such as:
•Complexity in original design;
•Extent of changes from original design;
•Different site conditions than assumed in our bid;
•The productivity, availability and skill level of labor;
•Weather conditions when executing a project;
•The technical maturity of the technologies involved;
•Length of time to complete the project;
•Availability and cost of equipment and materials;
•Subcontractor and joint venture partner performance;
•Expected costs of warranties; and
F-12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
•Our ability to recover for additional contract costs.
We recognize changes in contract estimates on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the changes are identified. Such changes in contract estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. Changes in contract estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate. If we estimate that a project will have costs in excess of revenue, we recognize the total loss in the period it is identified.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed and include unbilled receivables (typically for cost reimbursable contracts) and contract work in progress (typically for fixed-price contracts). Unbilled receivables, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are recognized as accounts receivable when they are billed under the terms of the contract. Advances that are payments on account of contract assets are deducted from contract assets. We anticipate that substantially all incurred cost associated with contract assets as of December 31, 2020 will be billed and collected within one year. Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date.
Segment Reporting
Management evaluates segment performance based on segment profit. We incur cost and expenses and hold certain assets at the corporate level which relate to our business as a whole. Certain of these amounts have been charged to our business segments by various methods, largely on the basis of usage. Total assets not allocated to segments and held in "Corporate and other" primarily include cash, marketable securities, income-tax related assets, pension assets, deferred compensation trust assets and corporate property, plant and equipment.
Segment profit is an earnings measure that we utilize to evaluate and manage our business performance. Segment profit is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to NCI.
Variable Interest Entities
We assess our partnerships and joint ventures at inception to determine if any meet the qualifications of a VIE. We consider a partnership or joint venture a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics:
(a) the total equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support,
(b) characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity), or
(c) the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.
Upon the occurrence of certain events, we reassess our initial determination of whether the partnership or joint venture is a VIE. The majority of our partnerships and joint ventures qualify as VIEs because the total equity investment is typically nominal and not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.
We also perform a qualitative assessment of each identified VIE to determine if we are its primary beneficiary. We conclude that we are the primary beneficiary and consolidate the VIE if we have both:
(a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and
(b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
We consider the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties in determining if we are the primary beneficiary. We also consider all parties that have direct or implicit variable interests when determining whether we
F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
are the primary beneficiary. Management's assessment of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE is continuously performed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist of time deposits placed with investment grade banks with original maturities greater than three months, which are typically held-to-maturity because we have the intent and ability to hold them until maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Our investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale because they may be sold prior to their maturity date. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. The cost of securities sold is determined by using the specific identification method. Marketable securities are assessed at least annually for other-than-temporary impairment.
Research and Development
We have a controlling interest in NuScale, a research and development operation associated with the licensing and commercialization of small modular nuclear reactor technology. Since May 2014, NuScale has been receiving reimbursement from the DOE for certain qualified expenditures under cost-sharing award agreements that require NuScale to use the DOE funds to cover first-of-a-kind engineering costs associated with small modular reactor design development and certification. Costs incurred by NuScale are expensed as incurred, net of qualifying DOE reimbursements, and reported in "Cost of revenue". The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved NuScale's design certification application in August 2020. Aside from NuScale, we generally do not engage in significant research and development activities.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease terms. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following ranges of estimated useful service lives, in years:

| Estimated Useful Service Lives
Buildings | 20 – 40
Building and leasehold improvements | 6 – 20
Machinery and equipment | 2 – 10
Furniture and fixtures | 2 – 10

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to at least annual impairment tests during the fourth quarter. For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the applicable reporting units based on the current reporting structure. We compare the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are impaired if their carrying value exceeds their fair value. In-process research and development associated with our investment in NuScale is considered indefinite lived until the related technology is available for commercial use.
Interim impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets is performed if indicators of potential impairment exist. Such indicators may include the results of operations of certain businesses and geographies and the performance of the company stock price.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax filings. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are our forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize such assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could adversely impact our future effective tax rate.
Income tax positions are recognized when they meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized upon such determination. We recognize potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes as we consider our worldwide taxable earnings and the impact of the continuing audit process conducted by various tax authorities. The final outcome of any audits could differ materially from amounts recognized by the company.
We account for the GILTI effects in the period that is subject to such tax.
Derivatives and Hedging
We attempt to limit foreign currency exposure in most of our contracts by denominating contract revenue in the currencies in which cost is incurred. Certain financial exposure, which includes currency and commodity price risk associated with engineering and construction contracts, currency risk associated with monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies and risk associated with interest rate volatility, may subject us to earnings volatility. We may implement a hedging strategy utilizing derivatives instruments or hedging instruments to mitigate such risk. Our hedging instruments are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges. We formally document our hedge relationships at inception, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction, and the initial quantitative assessment of the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items. We subsequently assess hedge effectiveness qualitatively, unless the hedge relationship is no longer highly effective. All hedging instruments are recorded at fair value. For fair value hedges, the change in fair value is offset against the change in the fair value of the underlying asset or liability through earnings. For cash flow hedges, the change in fair value is recorded as a component of AOCI and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged item settles. For derivatives that are not designated or do not qualify as hedging instruments, the change in the fair value of the derivative is offset against the change in the fair value of the underlying asset or liability through earnings. In certain limited circumstances, foreign currency payment provisions could be deemed embedded derivatives. If an embedded foreign currency derivative is identified, the derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and the change in fair value is recognized through earnings. We maintain master netting arrangements with certain counterparties to facilitate the settlement of derivative instruments; however, we report the fair value of derivatives on a gross basis.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Accounts receivable and all contract work in progress are from clients in various industries and locations throughout the world. Most contracts require payments as the projects progress or, in certain cases, advance payments. We generally do not require collateral, but in most cases can place liens against the project assets or terminate the contract, if a material default occurs. We evaluate the counterparty credit risk as part of our project risk review process and in determining the appropriate level of reserves. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses and generally such losses have been minimal and within management's estimates.
Cash and marketable securities are deposited with major banks throughout the world. Such deposits are placed with high quality institutions and the amounts invested in any single institution are limited to the extent possible in order to minimize concentration of counterparty credit risk.
Our counterparties for derivatives are large financial institutions selected based on profitability, strength of balance sheet, credit ratings and capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty related to our derivative contracts.
We monitor the credit quality of our counterparties and have not incurred any significant credit risk losses related to our deposits or derivative contracts.

Stock-Based Plans
Our stock plans provide for grants of nonqualified or incentive stock options, RSUs, restricted stock and performance-based award units, including VDI units. All grants of stock options and RSUs as well as performance-based units awarded to Section 16 officers in 2020, 2019 and 2018 can only be settled in company stock and are accounted for as equity awards.
All expense under stock-based awards is recognized based on the fair values of the awards. Stock option awards have grant exercise prices equal to the grant date market price of the company's stock. The fair value of grants of RSUs and restricted stock is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant but may be discounted for any post-vest holding periods. The grant date fair value of performance-based award units is determined by adjusting the closing price of the company's common stock on the date of grant for any post-vest holding period discounts and for the effect of market conditions, when applicable. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period, or over a shorter period when employee retirement eligibility is a factor.
We also grant SGI awards and performance-based awards to non-Section 16 executives which are settled in cash. These awards are classified as liabilities and remeasured at fair value through expense at the end of each reporting period using our closing stock price until the awards are settled. Awards that may be settled in cash or company stock at the election of the recipient are also classified as liability awards.
Leases
We recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months or leases that contain a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. This classification dictates whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Our right-of use assets and lease liabilities primarily relate to office facilities, equipment used in connection with long-term construction contracts and other personal property. Certain of our facility and equipment leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term up to 10 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our discretion. Renewal periods are included in the expected lease term if they are reasonably certain of being exercised by us. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. None of our lease agreements contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.
Long-term leases (leases with terms greater than 12 months) are recorded as liabilities at the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid. We use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease when the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Certain lease contracts contain nonlease components such as maintenance, utilities, fuel and operator services. We recognize both the lease component and nonlease components as a single lease component for all of its right-of-use assets. From time to time, certain service or purchase contracts may contain an embedded lease.
Short-term leases (leases with an initial term of 12 months or less or leases that are cancelable by the lessee and lessor without significant penalties) are not capitalized but are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of our short-term leases relate to equipment used on construction projects. These leases are entered into at periodic rental rates for an unspecified duration and typically have a termination for convenience provision.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Implemented During 2020
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses. The new guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. We adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method, and accordingly, the new guidance was applied to financial assets measured at amortized cost (primarily accounts receivable and contract assets) that existed as of January 1, 2020 (the date of initial application). As a result, we recorded additional reserves for credit losses of $2 million and a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $2 million as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or any impact on our cash flows. We utilize a combination of methods for estimating expected credit losses including loss rates, aging schedules and

probability-of-default. In evaluating our historical loss rates, accounts receivable and contract assets are pooled into the following categories based on similar risk characteristics: (1) EPC management; (2) government; (3) operations and maintenance; and (4) equipment leasing. Historical loss experience is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, when applicable. Significantly aged receivables are evaluated individually by credit rating. Our reserve for credit losses amounted to $39 million and $35 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-18, “Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606,” which clarifies that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial statements.
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-17, “Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities,” which amends the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial statements.
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract,” which requires customers in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial statements.
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which amends certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. For example, public companies will now be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial statements, but we have made additional disclosures related to the range and weighted average rates used to develop significant inputs for nonrecurring Level 3 measurements.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-14, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which amends certain disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

(1) Depreciation of $44 million and $72 million during 2019 and 2018, respectively, was included in discontinued operations and excluded from the table above.
(2) Capital expenditures of $23 million, $68 million and $41 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were included in discontinued operations and excluded from the table above.
Energy & Chemicals. The revenue of a single Energy & Chemicals customer and its affiliates amounted to 12% of our consolidated revenue during 2020. The revenue of a different Energy & Chemicals customer and its affiliates amounted to 11% and 18% of our consolidated revenue during 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Segment profit in 2020 included the adverse impacts of the recognition of reserves totaling $60 million for expected credit losses associated with certain joint venture clients, as well as margin diminution on a percentage-of-completion basis resulting from project positions taken with respect to COVID-19 related schedule delays and associated cost growth. Segment loss in 2019 included charges associated with forecast revisions on certain projects including $260 million (or $1.85 per share) for cost growth on an offshore project; $87 million (or $0.62 per share) for cost growth on two downstream projects and scope reductions on a large upstream project; $26 million (or $0.19 per share) for the write-off of pre-contract costs, $26 million (or $0.19 per share) on embedded foreign currency derivatives and $31 million (or $0.22 per share) from the resolution of close-out matters. Segment profit in 2018 included charges of $133 million (or $0.89 per share) for cost growth on a completed, downstream project and $40 million (or $0.23 per share) for cost growth on the aforementioned offshore project.
We are currently in discussions with the clients of the two lump-sum, downstream projects mentioned above over unapproved change orders totaling $66 million for cost growth and extension of time due to client-caused delays. Our current forecasts are based on the probability of favorably resolving these matters. Revenue and segment profit could be adversely affected if these matters are not successfully resolved, including the assessment of liquidated damages for which our combined maximum exposure for both projects is approximately $121 million.
Mining & Industrial. Segment profit in 2019 included a gain of $31 million (or $0.16 per share) resulting from a favorable resolution of a longstanding customer dispute on a mining project.
Infrastructure & Power. Segment profit in 2020 included a positive settlement on a canceled rail project offset by charges for cost growth in the infrastructure legacy portfolio. Segment loss in 2019 included charges totaling $135 million (or $0.96 per share) for the settlement of client disputes and cost growth on certain close-out matters for three power projects that were substantially complete as of December 31, 2019. Segment loss in 2019 was further driven by charges totaling $133 million (or $0.95 per share) resulting from late engineering changes, schedule-driven cost growth and negotiations with clients and subcontractors on pending change orders, for several infrastructure projects. Segment loss in 2018 included charges totaling $188 million (or $1.02 per share) resulting from cost growth at one of the aforementioned power projects. The charges in 2018 were largely offset by a gain of $125 million (or $0.74 per share) on the sale of a joint venture interest in the United Kingdom.
Government. Revenue from work performed for various agencies of the U.S. government amounted to 18%, 15% and 18% of our consolidated revenue during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
During 2019, we settled with a client in connection with the cancellation of two subcontracts at nuclear power plant projects in South Carolina and Georgia. The settlement resolved our claims arising prior to the bankruptcy filing in March 2017. Proceeds from the settlement were received during 2019. As a result of the settlement, we de-recognized pre-petition accounts receivable of $68 million and also recorded $89 million of previously unrecognized service fee revenue.
Diversified Services. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, intercompany revenue for the Diversified Services segment, excluded from the amounts shown above, was $270 million, $322 million and $332 million, respectively.
Other. Segment loss in 2019 included charges of $59 million (or $0.42 per share) on the Warren project and $83 million (or $0.59 per share) on the Radford project for various engineering and cost growth associated with the facilities. Segment loss in 2018 of $56 million (or $0.30 per share) was driven by forecast revisions on the Radford project. There were no similar material charges in 2020. Segment loss for all periods included the operations of NuScale, which are primarily for research and development activities associated with the licensing and commercialization of small modular nuclear reactor technology. NuScale expenses included in the determination of segment loss were $84 million, $66 million and $74 million during 2020,

6. Impairment, Restructuring and Other Exit Costs
Restructuring and Other Exit Costs
During 2019, we initiated a restructuring plan designed to optimize costs and improve operational efficiency. These efforts primarily relate to the rationalization of resources, investments, real estate and overhead across various geographies, as well as the liquidation of certain components of the AMECO business that are being excluded from sale. Our planned restructuring activities were substantially completed by the end of 2020. Restructuring costs totaled $8 million and $240 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Total impairment expense | $ | 297,604 |  |  | $ | 292,551 |

2020 Impairment
Our business has been adversely affected by the economic impacts of the outbreak of COVID-19 and the steep decline in oil prices that occurred in the early part of 2020. These events have created significant uncertainty and economic volatility and disruption, which have impacted and may continue to impact our business. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, reductions in demand for certain of our services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to our clients’, suppliers’ and other third parties’ diminished financial condition or financial distress, as well as governmental budget constraints. These impacts are expected to continue or worsen under prolonged stay-at-home, social distancing, travel restrictions and other similar orders or restrictions. Significant uncertainty still exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of these events. Because of these events, we performed interim impairment testing of our goodwill, intangible assets and investments and recognized the above impairment expense during the first quarter of 2020.
As part of our assessment of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting units was determined using an income based approach that utilized unobservable Level 3 inputs, including significant management assumptions such as expected awards, forecasted revenue and operating margins, weighted average cost of capital, working capital assumptions and general market trends and conditions.
The customer relationships' valuation approach utilized unobservable Level 3 inputs including ranges of assumptions of long-term revenue growth from 2% to 5.5% with a weighted average of 2.4%, weighted average cost of capital of 12% and a customer attrition factor of 10%.
The valuation of the equity method investments utilized unobservable Level 3 inputs based on the forecast of anticipated volumes and overhead absorption in a cyclical business.

2019 Impairment
During 2019, we recognized impairment expense on our intangible customer relationships associated with Stork. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined by a third party using an income-based approach that utilized unobservable Level 3 inputs, including significant management assumptions such as forecasted revenue and operating margins, customer attrition and weighted average cost of capital. The net carrying value of the customer relationships was $31 million as of December 31, 2019.
We also evaluated our significant investments and determined that certain of our investments were impaired during 2019. The fair value of these investments were determined using income-based approaches that utilized unobservable Level 3 inputs, including significant management assumptions such as forecasted revenue and operating margins and weighted average cost of capital. The net carrying value of these investments totaled $95 million as of December 31, 2019.
7. Income Taxes
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and deferral of employer payroll taxes. We recorded a discrete benefit of $125 million due to utilization of a 2019 net operating loss in the carryback period. Prior to the CARES Act, this loss could only be carried forward and was offset by a valuation allowance. Through December 31, 2020, we have deferred payroll taxes of $41 million under the CARES Act, with approximately half of the deferral payable in 2021 and and the remainder payable in 2022.

Deferred taxes reflect the tax effects of differences between the amounts recorded as assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recorded for income tax purposes. The tax effects of significant temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

As of December 31, 2020, we are indefinitely reinvested only with respect to unremitted earnings required to meet our working capital and long-term investment needs in the foreign jurisdictions within which we operate. Beyond those limits, we expect current earnings to be available for distribution. Deferred tax liabilities of approximately $28 million have not been recorded with respect to unremitted earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested, again primarily associated with

foreign withholding and income taxes that would be due upon remittance. We have no intention of initiating any actions that would lead to taxation of the earnings deemed indefinitely reinvested.
We have U.S federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $159 million and $908 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely. If not used, the state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2021. Approximately $117 million of the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in 2021. We also have non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards related to various jurisdictions of approximately $1.2 billion. Non-U.S. net operating losses include $599 million in the United Kingdom and $345 million in the Netherlands as of December 31, 2020. Of the total non-U.S. losses, $800 million can be carried forward indefinitely. The majority of the remaining $296 million net operating losses, if unused, will expire between 2023 and 2028.
We had U.S. foreign tax credits of approximately $414 million as of December 31, 2020, which will begin to expire in 2028, but which are fully reserved for in our valuation allowance
During 2020 and 2019, we were in a three-year cumulative loss on a consolidated, jurisdictional basis in Australia, the Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S. Such cumulative loss constitutes significant negative evidence (with regards to future taxable income) for assessing likelihood of realization. We also considered positive evidence but concluded it did not outweigh this significant negative evidence of a three-year cumulative loss. Accordingly, we recognized non-cash charges to tax expense of $142 million and $602 million to record a valuation allowance against net U.S. deferred tax assets and $28 million and $129 million against certain net foreign deferred tax assets during 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities worldwide, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Although we believe our reserves for our tax positions are reasonable, the outcome of tax audits could be materially different, both favorably and unfavorably. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2012.
A summary of unrecognized tax benefits follows:

(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019
Balance at beginning of year | $ | 42,394 |  |  | $ | 55,476 |
Change in tax positions of prior years | 8,166 |  |  | 6,359 |
Change in tax positions of current year | — |  |  | — |
Reduction in tax positions for statute expirations | (1,510) |  |  | (16,894) |
Reduction in tax positions for audit settlements | (637) |  |  | (2,547) |
Balance at end of year | $ | 48,413 |  |  | $ | 42,394 |

If recognized, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, would favorably impact the effective tax rates by $30 million and $22 million, respectively. We had $11 million and $10 million of accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We do not anticipate any significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

9. Partnerships and Joint Ventures
In the normal course of business, we form partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. The majority of these partnerships or joint ventures are characterized by a 50 percent or less, noncontrolling ownership or participation interest, with decision making and distribution of expected gains and losses typically being proportionate to the ownership or participation interest. Many of the partnership and joint venture agreements provide for capital calls to fund operations, as necessary. Accounts receivable related to work performed for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in "Accounts and notes receivable, net" were $218 million and $149 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The following is a summary of aggregate, unaudited balance sheet data for unconsolidated entities where our investment is presented as a one-line equity method investment:

| December 31,
(in millions) | 2020 | 2019
Current assets | $ | 8,138 |  | $ | 6,927 |
Noncurrent assets | 4,745 |  | 5,109 |
Current liabilities | 6,307 |  | 4,605 |
Noncurrent liabilities | 4,354 |  | 5,256 |

The following is a summary of aggregate, unaudited income statement data for unconsolidated entities where the equity method of accounting is used to recognize our share of net earnings or loss of investees:

(in millions) | 2020 | 2019 | 2018
Revenue | $ | 1,209 |  | $ | 1,258 |  | $ | 1,465 |
Cost of revenue | 1,104 |  | 1,151 |  | 1,338 |
Net earnings | 54 |  | 45 |  | 35 |

During 2020 and 2019, we evaluated our significant investments and determined that certain of our investments were impaired. As a result, we recognized impairment expense of $86 million and $257 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
One of our more significant joint ventures is COOEC Fluor, in which we have a 49% ownership interest. COOEC Fluor owns, operates and manages the Zhuhai Fabrication Yard in China’s Guangdong province. We completed our final funding commitment to the joint venture of $26 million during 2021.
During 2020, we sold our interests in three infrastructure joint ventures and recognized a gain of $8 million. We also sold our 50% interest in an Energy & Chemicals joint venture during 2020 and recognized a loss of $11 million.
Variable Interest Entities
The net carrying value of the unconsolidated VIEs (classified under both investments and other accrued liabilities) was a net asset of $174 million and $217 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Some of our VIEs have debt; however, such debt is typically non-recourse in nature. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding necessary to satisfy the contractual obligations of the VIE. Future funding commitments as of December 31, 2020 for the unconsolidated VIEs were $72 million.
In some cases, we are required to consolidate certain VIEs. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.3 billion and $703 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.1 billion and $798 million, respectively. The assets of a VIE are restricted for use only for the particular VIE and are not available for our general operations.
We have agreements with certain VIEs to provide financial or performance assurances to clients, as discussed elsewhere.
10. Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to our clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated and consolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support project execution commitments. The performance guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project to a period extending beyond contract completion. 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 $14 billion as of December 31, 2020. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed. For lump-sum contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, we may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, partners, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The performance guarantee obligation was not material as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower's obligation.
11. Contingencies and Commitments
We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to litigation, claims and other commitments and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the asserted value of these matters may be significant, we currently do not expect that the ultimate resolution of any open matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Since May 2018, purported shareholders have filed various complaints against Fluor Corporation and certain of its current and former executives in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The plaintiffs purport to represent a class of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Fluor common stock from August 14, 2013 through February 14, 2020, and seek to recover damages arising from alleged violations of federal securities laws. These claims are based on statements concerning Fluor’s internal and disclosure controls, risk management, revenue recognition, and Fluor’s gas-fired

power business, which plaintiffs assert were materially misleading. As of May 26, 2020, these complaints have been consolidated into one matter. We filed a motion to dismiss the matter on July 1, 2020. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we do not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, we have not recorded a charge as a result of this action.
Since September 2018, ten separate purported shareholders' derivative actions were filed against current and former members of the Board of Directors, as well as certain of Fluor’s current and former executives. Fluor Corporation is named as a nominal defendant in the actions. These derivative actions purport to assert claims on behalf of Fluor Corporation and make substantially the same factual allegations as the securities class action matter discussed above and seek various forms of monetary and injunctive relief. These actions are pending in Texas state court (District Court for Dallas County), the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, and the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Certain of these actions have been consolidated and stayed until our motion to dismiss is ruled upon in the securities class action matter. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we do not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, we have not recorded a charge as a result of these actions.
Fluor Australia Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Fluor Australia”), completed a cost reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services project for Santos Ltd. (“Santos”) involving a large network of natural gas gathering and processing facilities in Queensland, Australia. On December 13, 2016, Santos filed an action in Queensland Supreme Court against Fluor Australia, asserting various causes of action and seeking damages and/or a refund of contract proceeds paid of approximately AUD $1.47 billion. Santos has joined Fluor Corporation to the matter on the basis of a parent company guarantee issued for the project. We believe that the claims asserted by Santos are without merit and we are vigorously defending these claims. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we do not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, we have not recorded a charge as a result of this action.
Fluor Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Fluor Limited”), and Fluor Arabia Limited, a partially-owned subsidiary (“Fluor Arabia”), completed cost reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services for Sadara Chemical Company (“Sadara”) involving a large petrochemical facility in Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. On August 23, 2019, Fluor Limited and Fluor Arabia Limited commenced arbitration proceedings against Sadara after it refused to pay invoices totaling approximately $100 million due under the parties’ agreements. As part of the arbitration proceedings, Sadara has asserted various counterclaims for damages and/or a refund of contract proceeds paid totaling approximately $574 million against Fluor Limited and Fluor Arabia Limited. We believe that the counterclaims asserted by Sadara are without merit and are vigorously defending these claims. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of the counterclaims, we do not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred in excess of amounts reserved for this matter. Accordingly, we have not recorded a charge as a result of the counterclaims.
Various wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fluor, in conjunction with a partner, TECHINT, (“Fluor/TECHINT”) performed engineering, procurement and construction management services on a cost reimbursable basis for Barrick involving a gold mine and ore processing facility on a site straddling the border between Argentina and Chile. In 2013, Barrick terminated the Fluor/TECHINT agreements for convenience and not due to the performance of Fluor/TECHINT. On August 12, 2016, Barrick filed a notice of arbitration against Fluor/TECHINT, demanding damages and/or a refund of contract proceeds paid of not less than $250 million under various claims relating to Fluor/TECHINT’s alleged performance. Proceedings were suspended while the parties explored a possible settlement. In August 2019, Barrick drew down $36 million of letters of credit from Fluor/TECHINT ($24 million from Fluor and $12 million from TECHINT). Thereafter, Barrick proceeded to reactivate the arbitration. In December 2020, Barrick and Fluor/TECHINT exchanged detailed statements of claim and counterclaim pursuant to which Barrick’s claim against Fluor/TECHINT now totals approximately $330 million. We believe that the claims asserted by Barrick are without merit and are vigorously defending these claims. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we do not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, we have not recorded a charge as a result of these claims.
Purple Line Transit Partners, LLC (“PLTP”) entered into a Public Private Partnership Agreement (“PPPA”) with the Maryland Department of Transportation and the Maryland Transit Administration (together, the “State”) for the finance, design, construction, and operation of the Purple Line Project, a new light rail line in Maryland (the “Project”). PLTP is a limited liability company in which Fluor has a 15% membership interest. PLTP entered into an Amended and Restated Design-Build Contract (the “DB Contract”) with Purple Line Transit Constructors, LLC (“PLTC”) as design-build contractor to perform PLTP’s design and construction obligations under the PPPA on a back-to-back basis. PLTC is a limited liability company in which Fluor has a 50% membership interest. The design and construction of the Project was significantly delayed by more

than two and a half years due to events outside of PLTP or PLTC’s control. The PPPA contained a provision allowing PLTP the unconditional right to terminate the PPPA if certain events delayed the design and construction of the Project by 365 days or more. The DB Contract contained a similar provision allowing PLTC to terminate the DB Contract. Because of significant Project delays, in excess of 365 days, on May 1, 2020, PLTC gave notice to PLTP of PLTC’s intent to terminate the DB Contract. Upon receiving PLTC’s notice, on June 23, 2020, PLTP exercised its unconditional right to terminate the PPPA. The State challenged PLTP’s termination of the PPPA and commenced a lawsuit in Maryland state court against PLTP alleging breach of the PPPA. This matter has now been resolved. PLTC, PLTP and the State entered into a comprehensive settlement in December, 2020. As part of the settlement, Fluor transferred its 15% interest in PLTP to the remaining partners. Fluor also sold its 50% interest in the operations & maintenance entity to the remaining partners. PLTC received an initial settlement payment of $116 million from PLTP in December 2020, and we are contractually owed an additional $150 million to be paid no later than December 2021. The lawsuit has been dismissed with prejudice, the DB Contract is officially terminated, and PLTC has received a final release from PLTP and the State.
Other Matters
We have made claims arising from the performance under our contracts. We recognize revenue for claims, including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders, when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. We estimate the amount of revenue to be recognized on claims using the expected value method (i.e., the sum of probability-weighted amounts) or the most likely amount method, whichever offers better prediction. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims should be recognized include the following: (a) the legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in our performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. Similarly, we recognize disputed back charges to suppliers or subcontractors as a reduction of cost when the same requirements have been satisfied. We periodically evaluate our positions and the amounts recognized with respect to all our claims and back charges. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had recorded $216 million and $198 million, respectively, of claim revenue for costs incurred to date. Additional costs, which will increase the claim revenue balance over time, are expected to be incurred in future periods. We also had recorded disputed back charges to suppliers or subcontractors as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, none of which were material.
From time to time, we enter into contracts with the U.S. government and its agencies. Government contracts are subject to audits and investigations by government representatives with respect to our compliance with various restrictions and regulations applicable to government contractors, including but not limited to the allowability of costs incurred under reimbursable contracts. In connection with performing government contracts, we maintain reserves for estimated exposures associated with these matters.
Our operations are subject to and affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding the protection of the environment. We maintain reserves for potential future environmental cost where such obligations are either known or considered probable, and can be reasonably estimated. We believe, based upon present information available to us, that our reserves with respect to future environmental cost are adequate and such future cost will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In February 2020, we announced that the SEC is conducting an investigation and has requested documents and information related to projects for which we recorded charges in the second quarter of 2019. In April 2020, the Corporation received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) seeking documents and information related to the second quarter 2019 charges; certain of the projects associated with those charges; and certain project accounting, financial reporting and governance matters. We are coordinating responses to the SEC and DOJ and cooperating in providing the requested documents and information, which efforts are ongoing.

Committed Line of Credit
In February 2021, we entered into an amended and restated $1.65 billion credit facility which matures in February 2023. This credit facility contains customary financial covenants, including a debt-to-capitalization ratio that cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.00, 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, as defined in the amended credit facility, of $1.5 billion which may be reduced to $1.25 billion

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
upon the repayment of debt. If this credit facility had been in place as of December 31, 2020, our financial covenants would have limited our further borrowings to approximately $934 million. The credit facility also contains provisions that will require us to provide collateral to secure this facility should we be downgraded to BB by S&P and Ba2 by Moody's, such collateral consisting broadly of our U.S. assets. Borrowings under the facility, which may be denominated in USD, EUR, GBP or CAD, bear interest at a base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin.
As of December 31, 2020, letters of credit totaling $418 million were outstanding under our predecessor lines of credit, which consisted of a $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility and a $1.8 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of December 31, 2020. These credit facilities also contained customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a debt-to-capitalization ratio that could not exceed 0.6 to 1.0.
Senior Notes
In August 2018, we issued $600 million of 4.250% Senior Notes due in September 2028 ("2028 Notes") and received proceeds of $595 million. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in March and September. Prior to June 2028, we may redeem the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. After June 2028, the 2028 Notes can be redeemed at par plus accrued interest.
In March 2016, we issued €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes due in March 2023 ("2023 Notes") and received proceeds of €497 million. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable annually in March. Prior to December 2022, we may redeem the 2023 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a "make whole" premium described in the indenture. After December 2022, the 2023 Notes can be redeemed at par plus accrued interest. Additionally, we may redeem the 2023 Notes at par plus accrued interest if certain changes in U.S. tax laws occur.
In November 2014, we issued $500 million of 3.5% Senior Notes due in December 2024 ("2024 Notes") and received proceeds of $491 million. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semi-annually in June and December. Prior to September 2024, we may redeem the 2024 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a "make whole" premium described in the indenture. After September 2024, the 2024 Notes can be redeemed at par plus accrued interest.
For all of the Senior Notes, a change of control (as defined by the terms of the respective indentures) could require the company to repay them at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. We may incur additional indebtedness if we are in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions.
Other Borrowings and Letters of Credit
Other borrowings of $34 million and $44 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily represent bank loans and other financing arrangements associated with Stork.
Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily 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. As of December 31, 2020, letters of credit totaling $862 million were outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit.
15. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:
•Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
•Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable, either directly or indirectly
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs
We perform procedures to verify the reasonableness of pricing information received from third parties for significant assets and liabilities classified as Level 2.

16. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As discussed above, we performed interim impairment testing of our goodwill and intangible assets in the first quarter of 2020 due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the decline in oil prices. We recognized impairment expense of $169 million on goodwill associated with Diversified Services and $27 million on intangible customer relationships associated with Stork. No additional impairment on goodwill or intangible assets was recognized during the remainder of 2020. During 2019, we recognized impairment expense of $34 million on intangible customer relationships associated with Stork.

Our stock-based plans provide that RSUs and restricted stock may not be sold or transferred until service-based restrictions have lapsed and any performance objectives have been attained. Generally, upon termination of employment, RSUs and restricted stock which have not vested are forfeited. RSUs granted to executives in 2020, 2019 and 2018 generally vest ratably over 3 years. RSUs granted to one executive in 2020 vest over 5 years. RSUs granted to directors in 2020, 2019 and 2018 vested upon grant. RSUs awarded to directors in 2019 and 2018 (as well as one RSU award to a director in 2020) are subject to a post-vest holding period of 3 years. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, compensation expense related to RSUs of $17 million, $32 million and $30 million, respectively, was included in corporate G&A. The fair value of RSUs that vested during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $5 million, $14 million and $28 million, respectively. The balance of unamortized RSU expense as of December 31, 2020 was $10 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.
The exercise price of options represents the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The options granted in 2020, 2019 and 2018 generally vest over 3 years and expire 10 years after the grant date. Options granted to one executive in 2020 vest over 5 years. Stock option expense during 2020, 2019 and 2018 included in corporate G&A totaled $5 million, $4 million and $4 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during 2019 and 2018 was $0.3 million and $2 million, respectively. There were no stock option exercises during 2020. The balance of unamortized stock option expense as of December 31, 2020 was $6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

As of December 31, 2020, options outstanding had an aggregate intrinsic value of $5 million, and there was no intrinsic value for options exercisable.
During 2020, 2019 and 2018, performance-based award units totaling 1,156,365; 350,532; and 206,598, respectively, were awarded to Section 16 officers. These awards generally vest after a period of 3 years and contain annual performance conditions for each of the 3 years of the vesting period. Under GAAP, performance-based awards are not deemed granted until the performance targets have been established. The performance targets for each year are generally established in the first quarter. Accordingly, only one-third of the units awarded in any given year are deemed to be granted each year of the 3 year vesting periods. During 2020, the following units were granted:

| Performance-based Award Units Granted in 2020 | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
2020 Performance Award Plan | 385,455 | $9.05
2019 Performance Award Plan | 116,844 | $9.77
2018 Performance Award Plan | 68,866 | $10.75

For awards granted under the 2020, 2019 and 2018 performance award plans, the number of units are adjusted at the end of each performance period based on achievement of certain performance targets and market conditions, as defined in the award agreements.
Compensation expense of $1 million and $9 million related to performance-based award units was included in corporate G&A in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Compensation expense related to performance-based award units in 2020 was immaterial. The balance of unamortized compensation expense associated with performance-based award units as of December 31, 2020 was less than $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.2 years.
Liability Awards
We grant SGI awards in the form of stock units, determined by dividing the target amount by the closing price of our common stock at the grant date. Each stock unit represents the right to receive cash equal to the value of one share upon settlement. SGI awards granted to executives vest and become payable at a rate of one-third of the total award each year. Compensation expense of $25 million, $6 million and $6 million related to SGI awards was included in corporate G&A in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Liabilities associated with SGI awards were $29 million and $8 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
During 2020, 2019 and 2018, performance-based awards were awarded to non-Section 16 executives and will be settled in cash. Compensation expense of $3 million, $8 million and $10 million related to these performance-based awards was included in corporate G&A in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Liabilities associated with these awards were $16 million and $14 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

19. Retirement Plans
DC Plans
Domestic and international DC plans are available to eligible salaried and craft employees. Company contributions to DC plans are based on an employee's eligible compensation and participation rate. We recognized expense of $130 million, $115 million and $150 million associated with contributions to our DC plans during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
DB Plans
Certain DB plans are available to eligible international salaried employees. Contributions to DB plans are at least the minimum amounts required by applicable regulations. Benefit payments under these plans are generally based upon length of service and/or qualifying compensation.
Net periodic pension expense for our DB Plans included the following components:

| Year Ended December 31,

The service cost component of net periodic pension expense is presented in “Cost of revenue” and the other components of net periodic pension expense are presented in “Corporate G&A” and "(Gain) loss on pension settlement".
UK Plan
In 2018, we executed a buy-in policy contract with an insurance company to fully insure the benefits of the DB plan in the United Kingdom ("UK plan"). The UK plan was terminated in December 2019 and moved from "buy-in" to "buy-out" status, at which point the remaining benefit obligations were transferred to the insurer and we were relieved of any further obligation. During 2019, we recorded a loss on pension settlement of $138 million, which consisted primarily of unrecognized actuarial losses included in AOCI. The settlement of the plan did not impact our cash position.
During 2018, lump-sum distributions to participants of the UK plan exceeded the sum of the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost. As a result, we recorded a loss on partial pension settlement of $22 million.
DB Plan Assumptions
The ranges of assumptions indicated below cover DB plans in the Netherlands, Germany, the Philippines and the UK (2018 only) and are based on the economic environment in each host country at the end of each reporting period. The discount rates for the DB plans were determined primarily based on a hypothetical yield curve developed from the yields on high quality corporate and government bonds with durations consistent with the pension obligations in those countries. The expected long-term rate of return on asset assumptions utilizing historical returns, correlations and investment manager forecasts are established for all relevant asset classes including international equities and government, corporate and other debt securities.
F-36

Table of Contents
FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

| December 31,
| 2020 | 2019 | 2018
For determining projected benefit obligation ("PBO") at year-end: |  |  |
Discount rates | 0.80-3.50% | 1.20-4.75% | 1.80-7.25%
Rates of increase in compensation levels | 2.25-6.00% | 2.25-6.00% | 2.25-7.00%
For determining net periodic cost for the year: |  |  |
Discount rates | 1.20-4.75% | 1.80-7.25% | 1.90-5.50%
Rates of increase in compensation levels | 2.25-6.00% | 2.25-7.00% | 2.25-7.00%
Expected long-term rates of return on assets | 1.20-5.60% | 1.80-8.20% | 1.90-7.00%

We evaluate the funded status of each of our DB plans using the above assumptions and determine the appropriate funding level in light of applicable regulatory requirements, tax deductibility, reporting considerations and other factors. The funding status of the plans is sensitive to changes in long-term interest rates and returns on plan assets, and funding obligations could increase substantially if interest rates fall dramatically or returns on plan assets are below expectations. Assuming no changes in current assumptions, we expect to contribute up to $12 million to our DB plans in 2021, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required. If the discount rates were reduced by 25 basis points, plan liabilities would increase by approximately $57 million.
DB Plan Assets
The following table sets forth the target and actual allocations of plan assets:

|  | December 31,
| 2020 Target Allocation | 2020 | 2019
Asset category: |  |  |
Debt securities | 55% - 65% | 63 | % | 60 | %
Equity securities | 25% - 35% | 28 | % | 31 | %
Other | 0% - 10% | 9 | % | 9 | %
Total |  | 100 | % | 100 | %

Our investment strategy is to maintain asset allocations that appropriately manage risk within the context of seeking adequate returns. Investment allocations are determined by each plan's governing body. Asset allocations may be affected by local regulations. Long-term allocation guidelines are established with a target range allocation for each asset class. Short-term deviations from these allocations may exist from time to time for tactical investment or strategic implementation purposes.
Investments in debt securities are used to provide stable investment returns while protecting the funding status of the plans. Investments in equity securities are utilized to generate long-term capital appreciation to mitigate the effects of increases in benefit obligations resulting from inflation, longer life expectancy and salary growth. While most of our plans may invest in the company's securities, there are no such direct investments at the present time.
Plan assets included investments in common or collective trusts ("CCTs"), which offer efficient access to diversified investments across various asset categories. The estimated fair value of the investments in the CCTs represents the net asset value of the shares or units of such funds as determined by the issuer. A redemption notice period of no more than 30 days is required for the plans to redeem certain investments in CCTs. At the present time, there are no other restrictions on how the plans may redeem their investments.
Debt securities are comprised of corporate bonds, government securities and CCTs with underlying investments in corporate bonds, government and asset backed securities and interest rate swaps. Corporate bonds primarily consist of investment-grade rated bonds and notes, of which no significant concentration exists in any one rating category or industry. Government securities include international government bonds, some of which are inflation-indexed. Corporate bonds and government securities are valued based on pricing models, which are determined from a compilation of primarily observable market information, broker quotes in non-active markets or similar assets.
F-37

FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Equity securities span various industries and are comprised of common stocks of international companies as well as CCTs with underlying investments in common and preferred stocks. Publicly traded corporate equity securities are valued based on the closing price of an active market or exchange. Inactive securities are valued at the last reported bid price. As of both December 31, 2020 and 2019, direct investments in equity securities were concentrated in international securities.
Other plan assets include guaranteed investment contracts and CCTs. Guaranteed investment contracts are insurance contracts that guarantee a principal repayment and a stated rate of interest. The estimated fair value of these insurance contracts, which are Level 3 assets, represents the discounted value of guaranteed benefit payments. CCTs hold underlying investments primarily in commodities.
The following table delineates the fair value of the plan assets and liabilities of our DB Plans:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(1) Actuarial losses are primarily due to assumption changes.
The total ABO for all DB Plans as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $793 million and $681 million, respectively.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
In addition to our DB plans discussed above, we participate in multiemployer pension plans for unionized construction and maintenance craft employees. Company contributions are based on the hours worked by employees covered under various collective bargaining agreements and totaled $38 million, $32 million and $30 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We are not aware of any significant future obligations or funding requirements related to these plans other than the ongoing contributions that are paid as hours are worked by plan participants. None of these multiemployer pension plans are individually significant to us. The preceding information does not include amounts related to benefit plans applicable to employees associated with certain contracts with the U.S. Department of Energy because we are not responsible for the current or future funding of these plans.
20. Other Noncurrent Liabilities
We have deferred compensation plans and other retirement arrangements for executives which generally provide for payments upon retirement, death or termination of employment. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the obligations related to these plans totaled $329 million and $338 million, respectively, within noncurrent liabilities. To fund these obligations, we have established non-qualified trusts, which are included in noncurrent assets. These trusts hold life insurance policies and marketable securities. These trusts were valued at $350 million and $341 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Periodic changes in the value of these trust investments, most of which are unrealized, are recognized in earnings, and serve to mitigate changes to the obligations which are also reflected in earnings.
We maintain appropriate levels of insurance for business risks, including workers compensation and general liability. Insurance coverages contain various retention amounts for which we provide accruals based on the aggregate of the liability for reported claims and an actuarially determined estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, insurance liabilities of $70 million and $80 million, respectively, were included in noncurrent liabilities.

24. Discontinued Operations
We expect to complete the sale of the AMECO equipment business, which is reported in Disc Ops, within the first half of 2021. The assets and liabilities of the AMECO business are classified as held for sale. During 2020, we recognized impairment expense of $146 million, of which $12 million related to goodwill, to reduce the AMECO assets to their fair value less cost to sell. The fair value of the AMECO assets were determined using a combination of observable level 2 inputs, including indicative offers and ongoing negotiations for the related assets.
In August 2020, we sold our AMECO equipment business in Jamaica for $18 million and recognized a loss of $1 million. The operations of the AMECO business in Jamaica were included in Disc Ops through the date of sale.
In August 2019, we settled legal matters related to a previously divested business. The resulting gain and all associated legal fees were included in "Other" in the tables below.
