11. Construction Joint Ventures

We participate in various construction joint ventures. We have determined that certain of these joint ventures are consolidated because they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and we are the primary beneficiary. We continually evaluate whether there are changes in the status of the VIEs or changes to the primary beneficiary designation of the VIE. Based on our assessments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we determined no change was required for existing joint ventures.

Due to the joint and several nature of the performance obligations under the related owner contracts, if any of the partners fail to perform, we and the remaining partners, if any, would be responsible for performance of the outstanding work (i.e., we provide a performance guarantee). At  June 30, 2020, there was approximately $2.1 billion of construction revenue to be recognized on unconsolidated and line item construction joint venture contracts of which $0.8 billion represented our share and the remaining $1.3 billion represented our partners’ share. We are not able to estimate amounts that may be required beyond the remaining cost of the work to be performed. These costs could be offset by billings to the customer or by proceeds from our partners’ corporate and/or other guarantees.

Consolidated Construction Joint Ventures (“CCJVs”)

At  June 30, 2020, we were engaged in seven active CCJV projects with total contract values ranging from $0.7 million to $413.8 million and a combined total of $1.6 billion of which our share was $928.5 million. Our share of revenue remaining to be recognized on these CCJVs was $457.5 million and ranged between less than $0.1 million to $188.9 million. Our proportionate share of the equity in these joint ventures was between 50.0% and 65.0%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 total revenue from CCJVs was $86.0 million and $140.7 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, total revenue from CCJVs was $76.5 million and $139.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, CCJVs provided $19.8 million and used $5.3 million of operating cash flows, respectively.

 

Unconsolidated Construction Joint Ventures

As of  June 30, 2020, we were engaged in ten active unconsolidated joint venture projects with total contract values ranging from $12.1 million to $3.8 billion for a combined total of $11.5 billion of which our share was $3.4 billion. Our proportionate share of the equity in these unconsolidated construction joint ventures ranged from 20.0% to 50.0%. As of  June 30, 2020, our share of the revenue remaining to be recognized on these unconsolidated construction joint ventures was $618.6 million and ranged from $1.2 million to $168.2 million.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, unconsolidated construction joint venture net income/(loss) was $27.5 million and $(138.5) million, respectively, of which our share was net loss of $(18.7) million and $(30.5) million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, unconsolidated net loss was $(18.9) million and $(13.7) million, respectively, of which our share was net loss of $(52.5) million and $(72.8) million, respectively. The differences between our share of the joint venture net loss when compared to the joint venture net income/(loss) primarily resulted from differences between our estimated total revenue and cost of revenue when compared to that of our partners’ on five and four projects during 2020 and 2019, respectively. The differences are due to timing differences from varying accounting policies and in public company quarterly reporting requirements. These joint venture net income/(loss) amounts exclude our corporate overhead required to manage the joint ventures and include taxes only to the extent the applicable states have joint venture level taxes.

Line Item Joint Ventures

As of  June 30, 2020, we had four active line item joint venture construction projects with a total contract value of $327.8 million of which our portion was $182.8 million. As of  June 30, 2020, our share of revenue remaining to be recognized on these line item joint ventures was $133.1 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our portion of revenue from line item joint ventures was $18.4 million and $31.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our portion of revenue from line item joint ventures was $11.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively.
