Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. Reports Earnings

for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2011

PASADENA, CALIF — Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended April 1, 2011.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2011 Highlights:

 

   

Net earnings for the quarter of $80.3 million;

Net earnings for the six months ended April 1, 2011 of $146.1 million;

 

   

Diluted EPS for the six months ended April 1, 2011 of $1.15; and,

 

   

Backlog of $14.0 billion.

Jacobs reported net earnings of $80.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, on revenues of $2.6 billion for its second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended April 1, 2011. This compares to net earnings of $77.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, on revenues of $2.6 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended April 2, 2010.

For the six months ended April 1, 2011, Jacobs reported net earnings of $146.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, on revenues of $4.9 billion. This compares to net earnings of $149.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, on revenues of $5.1 billion for the same period in fiscal 2010.

On February 1, 2011, the Company acquired certain operations within the process and construction business of Aker Solutions ASA. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three months ended April 1, 2011 include those of the acquired businesses since the date of acquisition. Including the effects of acquisition related costs, the acquired operations contributed approximately $0.04 per diluted share to earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Jacobs also announced backlog totaling $14.0 billion at April 1, 2011, including a component of technical professional services of $8.7 billion. This compares to total backlog and technical professional services backlog of $14.7 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively, at April 2, 2010.

Commenting on the Company’s earnings outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2011, Jacobs Chief Financial Officer John W. Prosser, Jr. stated, “Our guidance for fiscal year 2011, which includes the net contribution of the acquired operations of Aker, is being narrowed from the previous range of $2.40 to $2.85 to a revised range of $2.40 to $2.80.”
