For the third quarter of fiscal 2011 ended July 1, 2011, Jacobs reported net earnings of $90.7 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, on revenues of $2.7 billion. This compares to net earnings of $19.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, on revenues of $2.5 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 ended July 2, 2010. Included in the Company’s results of operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 is a charge recorded as a result of an unfavorable court judgment received relating to a waste incineration project in France performed for the SIVOM de Mulhousienne (the “SIVOM Judgment”). Excluding the effects of the SIVOM Judgment, net earnings and earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $79.3 million and $0.63, respectively.

For the nine months ended July 1, 2011, Jacobs reported net earnings of $236.7 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, on revenues of $7.7 billion. This compares to net earnings of $169.0 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, on revenues of $7.6 billion for nine months ended July 2, 2010. Excluding the effects of the SIVOM Judgment, net earnings and earnings per diluted share for the first three quarters of fiscal 2010 were $229.3 million and $1.83, respectively.

Jacobs also announced backlog totaling $14.0 billion at July 1, 2011, including a technical professional services component of $8.7 billion. This compares to total backlog and technical professional services backlog of $13.5 billion and $7.8 billion, respectively, at July 2, 2010.

Commenting on the results for the third quarter, Jacobs President and CEO Craig L. Martin stated, “Our performance for the quarter was good, particularly in controlling SG&A. Given our steady backlog and solid prospect list, our outlook remains positive.”
