Exhibit 99.1

FLUOR JOINT VENTURE RECEIVES ADVERSE LEGAL RULING AFFECTING SR-125 CLAIM
COLLECTABILITY RESULTING IN THIRD QUARTER CHARGE

Irving, TX – October 29, 2010 – Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced that late yesterday the company received notice of a ruling on the priority of claims made by its 50/50 joint venture relating to the SR-125 road project in California against the bankrupt client entity.  The judge ruled against the joint venture’s position, finding that its mechanic’s lien did not have priority over the senior lenders.  While there has been no adjudication of the merits of the joint venture’s actual claim, this court decision impairs the joint venture’s ability to collect any potential award.  As a result, Fluor will take a charge in the third quarter for its previously recognized claim revenue and all amounts due the company.  The charge will total approximately $95 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, and will result in a reduction of full year earnings guidance for 2010 to a range of $1.90 to $2.20 per diluted share.

The company will provide further discussion regarding this development on its third quarter conference call on November 4, 2010.
