Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On August 11, 2008, Fluor Corporation announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  A copy of the press release (the “Earnings Release”) making this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  The Earnings Release contains a presentation of operating margins that is a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined under SEC rules, and that is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the Earnings Release.  The non-GAAP financial measure is presented in the Earnings Release because management has evaluated the company’s financial results both including and excluding the substantial gain from the sale of the Greater Gabbard joint venture interest from its operating margins and believes that the non-GAAP financial measure provides investors additional perspective relating to trends in the company’s operating results.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section.  Furthermore, this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Fluor Corporation includes backlog and new awards data in the Earnings Release.  Backlog is a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress.  Although backlog reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations or scope adjustments may occur.  Backlog is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, deferrals and revised project scope and costs, both upward and downward.  New awards is a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded in the period.  Backlog and new awards measures are regularly reported in the construction industry.
