Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The financial statements include the accounts of Fluor Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain amounts in 2024 and 2023 have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation. Certain amounts in tables may not total or agree to the financial statements due to immaterial rounding differences. Management has evaluated all material events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2025 through the filing date of the 2025 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 unconsolidated 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 we have over 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. Equity Method Investment with Fair Value Option We elected the fair value option of accounting for our investment in NuScale that would have otherwise been recorded under the equity method of accounting. We recognize the fair value of our investment in NuScale on a mark-to-market basis based upon the prevailing price of their stock on our balance sheet dates. The changes in the fair value of our investment in NuScale are recorded quarterly in the statement of operations. 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. Earnings Per Share Potentially dilutive securities include convertible debt, performance-based award units, RSUs, stock options and, prior to their conversion in 2023, our CPS. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities using the if-converted and treasury stock methods. In computing diluted EPS, only securities that are actually dilutive are included. 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 recognized 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 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, CFM, labor and equipment as well as subcontractor materials, labor and equipment, are included in revenue and cost of revenue when we believe 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). CFM 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. If we lose visibility mid-project with respect to cost or receipt, we cease recognizing future CFM but do not de-recognize previous amounts of CFM. 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. 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. 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. Customer payments on service contracts are typically due within 30 to 90 days of billing, depending on the contract. Other. 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. 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 1 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 includes estimates of CFM in those instances where the criteria for recognition have been satisfied. RUPO includes only the amount of revenue we expect to recognize under contracts with definite terms and substantive termination provisions. Most of our contracts are subject to termination at the discretion of our client but typically provide for the payment of fees earned through the date of termination and the reimbursement of other costs incurred including demobilization costs, which typically represent substantive penalties for purposes of determining the duration of our contracts. 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 several types of variable consideration, including claims, unpriced change orders, award and incentive fees, liquidated damages and penalties or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the contract price to arrive at estimated revenue. Certain variable consideration, such as award and incentive fees, 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 upon completion of a project. 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 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 due to a variety of factors including: •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. 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. We anticipate that substantially all incurred cost associated with contract assets as of December 31, 2025 will be billed and collected within 1 year. Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date. Segment Reporting Our Chief Executive Officer is our CODM. Segment profit is an earnings measure that our CODM utilizes to assess segment performance and allocate resources, primarily employees, to our segments. Segment profit is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to NCI. 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 are allocated to our business segments by various methods, largely on the basis of estimated usage or on pro rata revenue. Total assets not allocated to segments and held in "Corporate and other" primarily include cash, marketable securities, income-tax related assets, deferred compensation trust assets and corporate property, plant and equipment. 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. We regularly 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 are the primary beneficiary. Management's assessment of who is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is regularly undertaken. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include securities with maturities of 3 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 3 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. 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. 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
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 relevant tax authorities. The final outcome of any audits could differ materially from amounts recognized by us. We account for the GILTI effects in the period that is subject to such tax. Embedded Derivatives We attempt to limit foreign currency exposure in most of our contracts by denominating contract revenue in the currencies in which cost is incurred. 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. 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 bidding process, our project risk review process and in determining the appropriate level of reserves during project execution. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses and generally such losses have been minimal and within management's estimates. We have cash and marketable securities on deposit 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. We monitor the credit quality of our counterparties and establish reserves for any significant credit risk losses. Stock-Based Compensation Generally, our annual grant of stock-based awards to employees are made on a broad basis in the first quarter and to our Board of Directors in the second quarter. Our stock plans provide for grants of performance-based award units, RSUs and nonqualified or incentive stock options. Grants of performance-based units awarded to Section 16 officers, RSUs and stock options 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. The grant date fair value of performance-based award units is determined by adjusting the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant for the effect of market conditions. The fair value of grants of RSUs is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock option awards have exercise prices equal to the grant date market price of our stock. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period, or over a shorter period when the grantee is or becomes retirement eligible. 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 until the awards are settled.
