CB&I Reports 2014 Third Quarter Results

Year Over Year Revenue up 13% and Earnings up 37%
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CB&I (NYSE: CBI) today reported adjusted net income for the third quarter of $164.7 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, excluding integration related costs of $2.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, up 35 percent from the third quarter 2013. In the quarter GAAP net income was $161.8 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, up 37 percent over the comparable period. Revenue for the third quarter was $3.4 billion, up from $3.0 billion, or 13 percent from the third quarter 2013. New awards for the third quarter totaled $3.0 billion, which resulted in a backlog of $30.7 billion.
“We are pleased with the third quarter results and $13 billion in new awards year to date, which reflect our ability to capitalize on key end markets we have been pursuing across our operating groups,” said Philip K. Asherman, CB&I’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our net cash provided from operating activities for the quarter was $25.1 million, and our liquidity is solid. We enter the fourth quarter forecasted to achieve revenue and EPS consistent with market expectations, and we look forward to a strong start to 2015.”
CB&I’s third quarter new awards reflect the continuing development of major oil, gas and petrochemical projects in North America, robust storage and fabrication activity in the Middle East and high demand for technology solutions globally, particularly in Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Significant awards by end markets included LNG, ranging from additional scope to front end engineering and design (FEED) for LNG export terminals in North America; Petrochemicals, ranging from technology and engineering for polypropylene and gasification units in China to on-purpose propylene in Europe; Refining, including technology and storage in the Middle East and Asia; and Gas Processing, including the supply of process modules in North America.
