Business Environment and Trends

Mission Technology Outlook

On February 3, 2026, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 was passed, which finalized defense appropriations for fiscal year 2026. This legislation provides for $839 billion in discretionary defense spending. In December 2025, the National Defense Authorization Act ("NDAA") was signed into law. The NDAA authorizes programs, projects and policies to be carried out with funds appropriated by Congress as part of the annual budgetary process. The NDAA supports up to approximately $901 billion in fiscal year 2026 funding for national defense. Additionally, the approved fiscal year 2026 budget for NASA is $24 billion. Additionally, current and future funding requirements related to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East have impacted our customers' budgets and spending priorities.

On April 3, 2026, the Administration provided a proposed fiscal 2027 budget for the U.S. Government which includes approximately $2.2 trillion in base discretionary spending, $1.5 trillion related to defense spending and $0.7 trillion for non-defense spending. The proposed defense spending is 44% higher than the enacted fiscal 2026 defense spending when including mandatory funding. We anticipate the federal budget will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the Administration and Congress, efficiency initiatives, the global security environment, inflationary pressures including tariffs and macroeconomic conditions. Thus far, the Administration's directives have resulted in federal government staff reductions and hiring freezes and may result in delays in contract awards.

Internationally, our government work is performed primarily for the U.K. MoD and the Australian Department of Defence. In June 2025, leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO") agreed to invest 5% of their countries' gross domestic product ("GDP") on defense and security-related spending by 2035. In June 2025, the Strategic Defence Review was completed in the U.K. with plans to increase defense spending to 2.50% of GDP by 2027 and additional increases in following years to reach defense spending of 3.00% of GDP. In 2026, the U.K. Prime Minister reiterated his goal to continue to increase U.K defense spending in future years. The Australian government continues to invest in defense spending, with particular focus on enhancing regional security, modernizing defense capabilities, strengthening cyber defenses and promoting broader economic stability. In April 2026, the Australian Minister for Defence announced that the Australian defense budget will increase to 3.00% of GDP by 2033.

A shift in funding priorities in the U.S. government or internationally could have material impacts on defense spending broadly and our programs. With defense and civil budgets driven in part by political instability, military conflicts, aging platforms and infrastructure and the need for technology advances, we expect continued opportunities to provide solutions and technologies to mission critical work aligned with our customers’ and our nation’s critical priorities.

Sustainable Technology Outlook

Long-range commercial market fundamentals are supported by global population growth, expanding global development and an acceleration of demand for energy transition, renewable energy sources and climate related solutions. The globe is in search of the solution to the energy trilemma, the balance between energy affordability, ensuring energy security and achieving environmental sustainability. The global energy shortage experienced in recent years and geopolitical disruptions of energy flows from key producing regions further highlighted the need for affordable and reliable fuel sources, supporting continued strong structural demand growth. Energy security concerns have been heightened in response to various conflicts around the world, which has caused countries to evaluate their investment strategy in energy markets. Countries are pursuing increases to their investments in diverse geographical areas and energy sources to ensure grid stability.

As the global focus on energy security intensifies and companies continue to commit to near-term carbon neutrality and longer-range net-zero carbon emissions, we expect spending to continue in areas such as decarbonization; carbon capture, utilization and sequestration; biofuels; and circular economy. Clients are prioritizing their efforts to solve the energy trilemma by investing in digital solutions to optimize operations, increase end-product flexibility and energy efficiency and reduce unplanned downtime. Further, leading companies across the world are proactively evaluating clean energy alternatives, including hydrogen and green ammonia, which complements KBR's proprietary process technologies, solutions and capabilities. We expect energy security and energy transition to continue to be areas of priority and investment as many countries, including the U.S., look to boost their economies and invest in a more secure future. While we have not had any material impact to our cost structure or ability to operate, we are monitoring the evolving macroeconomic environment due to

29

ongoing tariffs and the Middle East conflicts including how those tariffs, any inflationary pressure and supply chain disruptions may impact investment decisions from our core client base.

Our Business

KBR's business is organized into two core and one non-core business segments as follows:

See additional information on our business segments in Note 2. "Business Segment Information" to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Mission Technology Solutions Spin-off

In September 2025, we announced our intention to spin off our Mission Technology Solutions business into a separate, U.S. publicly-traded company. The Planned Spin-Off is intended to be tax-free to us and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes and targeting completion on January 4, 2027, which is the first business day of fiscal 2027. The spin-off will be subject to final approval by our Board of Directors and other customary conditions, including receipt of a favorable opinion of legal counsel and/or a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC, satisfactory completion of financing and other regulatory approvals. Because the intended transaction is a spin-off, the Mission Technology Solutions business is not classified as held for sale and will be reported as continuing operations.

Business Environment and Trends

Mission Technology Outlook

From October 1, 2025 through November 11, 2025 the U.S. government was shut down because Congress was unable to pass legislation providing appropriations authority for the government to continue to operate. Subsequent to the U.S. government shutdown starting on October 1, 2025, we experienced delays in project execution, collection of payments and contract awards. On November 12, 2025, a continuing resolution funding measure was enacted to finance all U.S. government activities through January 30, 2026. On February 3, 2026, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 was passed, which finalized defense appropriations for fiscal year 2026. This legislation provides for $839 billion in discretionary defense spending. In December 2025, the National Defense Authorization Act ("NDAA") was signed into law.

On November 10, 2025, the DoW announced the Acquisition Transformation Strategy which aims to accelerate the delivery of operational capabilities by implementing organizational changes that enable acquisition speed, including greater flexibility and authority for trade-off decisions among speed, performance and cost and commercial-first preference to streamline solicitation approaches. The strategy validates the critical market need we seek to address for trusted vendors who can act as capability integrators independent of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). It also reinforces our value to the DoW's priority for rapid delivery of warfighting capability.

Despite the Administration indicating its desire for a significant increase in defense spending for fiscal year 2027 to $1.5 trillion, we anticipate the federal budget will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the Administration and Congress, efficiency initiatives, the global security environment, inflationary pressures including tariffs and macroeconomic conditions. Thus far, the Administration's directives and actions of the DOGE have resulted in federal government staff reductions and hiring freezes and may result in delays in contract awards.

Internationally, our government work is performed primarily for the U.K. MoD and the Australian Department of Defence. In June 2025, leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization agreed to invest 5% of their countries' gross domestic product ("GDP") on defense and security-related spending by 2035. Additionally, in June 2025, the Strategic Defence Review was completed in the U.K. with plans to increase defense spending to 2.50% of GDP by 2027 and additional increases in following years to reach defense spending of 3.00% of GDP. Recognizing the importance of strong defense and the role the U.K. plays across the globe, the U.K. has prioritized investment in military research and investment in key areas to advance and develop capabilities around artificial intelligence, cyber security and space superiority. The Australian government continues to invest in defense spending, with particular focus on enhancing regional security, modernizing defense capabilities, strengthening cyber defenses and promoting broader economic stability. In March 2025, the Australian Minister for Defence announced that the Australian defense budget is expected to increase over the next four years.

A shift in funding priorities in the U.S. government or internationally could have material impacts on defense spending broadly and our programs. With defense and civil budgets driven in part by political instability, military conflicts, aging platforms and infrastructure and the need for technology advances, we expect continued opportunities to provide solutions and technologies to mission critical work aligned with our customers’ and our nation’s critical priorities.

Sustainable Technology Outlook

Long-range commercial market fundamentals are supported by global population growth, expanding global development and an acceleration of demand for energy transition, renewable energy sources and climate-related solutions. The globe is in search of the solution to the energy trilemma, the balance between energy affordability, ensuring energy security and achieving environmental sustainability. While we have not had any material impact to our cost structure or ability to operate, we are monitoring the evolving macroeconomic environment due to ongoing tariffs including how those tariffs and any inflationary pressure may impact investment decisions from our core client base. Clients are prioritizing their efforts to solve the energy trilemma by investing in digital solutions to optimize operations, increase end-product flexibility and energy efficiency, reduce unplanned downtime and minimize environmental footprint. As the global focus on energy security intensifies and companies continue to commit to near-term carbon neutrality and longer-range net-zero carbon emissions, we expect spending to continue in areas such as decarbonization; carbon capture, utilization and sequestration; biofuels; and circular economy. Further, leading companies across the world are proactively evaluating clean energy alternatives, including hydrogen and green ammonia, which complements KBR's proprietary process technologies, solutions and capabilities. We expect climate protection, energy security and energy transition to continue to be areas of priority and investment as many countries, including the U.S., look to boost their economies and invest in a cleaner, more secure future.

Revenues. Revenues increased by $76 million, or 1%, to $7,786 million in fiscal 2025, compared to $7,710 million in fiscal 2024. The increase is due to increases in defense and intel programs associated with the acquisition of LinQuest (in August 2024) in our MTS segment and increased revenues from engineering and professional services in our STS segment, offset by reduced activity within the European command and science and space programs in our MTS segment. Additionally, revenues increased by $26 million in fiscal 2025 due to the final resolution of an outstanding legacy claim associated with a U.S. government project in fiscal 2024 that did not recur in fiscal 2025.

Gross profit. The increase in overall gross profit of $51 million, or 5%, was primarily driven by items increasing revenues discussed above.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $103 million, or 96%, to $210 million in earnings in fiscal 2025 compared to $107 million in earnings in fiscal 2024. The increase is primarily attributed to equity in earnings from services on an LNG project within our STS segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $35 million higher, or 6%, in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, which was primarily driven by additional expenses incurred to support the growth in both our MTS and STS business segments, expenses incurred related to the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system and expenses incurred related to the Planned Spin-Off of MTS.

49

Interest Expense. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by increased outstanding average debt principal from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2025.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes reflects a 25% tax rate for fiscal 2025 and 2024. The effective tax rate of 25%, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, for fiscal 2025 was affected by the rate differential on our foreign earnings and the impact of state and local taxes in the U.S., partially offset by the resolution reached with tax authorities. The effective tax rate of 25%, as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, for fiscal 2024 was affected by the rate differential on our foreign earnings and the impact of state and local taxes in the U.S. See Note 12. "Income Taxes" to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on income taxes, including our reconciliation of the U.S. statutory tax rate to our effective tax rate.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $(55) million and $2 million during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, due to the disposal of HomeSafe.

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests included in discontinued operations. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests included in discontinued operations was $(19) million and $1 million during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, due to the disposal of HomeSafe.

Mission Technology Solutions

MTS revenues increased by $26 million to $5,581 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $5,555 million in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2025, we had revenue increases in defense and intel programs associated with the acquisition of LinQuest (in August 2024), offset by revenue decreases due to reduced activity within the European command and science and space programs. Additionally, revenues increased by $26 million in fiscal 2025 due to the final resolution of an outstanding legacy claim associated with a U.S. government project in fiscal 2024 that did not recur in fiscal 2025.

MTS operating income increased by $48 million, or 12%, to $463 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $415 million in fiscal 2024. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by the growth associated with LinQuest. Additionally, operating income increased by $26 million in fiscal 2025 due to the final resolution of an outstanding legacy claim associated with a U.S. government project in fiscal 2024 that did not recur in fiscal 2025. The increase in operating income was offset by a $6 million gain related to the sale of our investment interest in a joint venture during fiscal 2024 that did not recur in fiscal 2025.

Sustainable Technology Solutions

STS revenues increased by $50 million, or 2%, to $2,205 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $2,155 million in fiscal 2024. This increase was primarily driven by increased revenues from engineering and professional services.

STS operating income increased by $72 million, or 18%, to $477 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $405 million in fiscal 2024. The increase from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2025 is primarily due to increased equity in earnings from services on an LNG project and the item discussed above, offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses related to growth in the business and expenses incurred related to the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system.

Backlog of Unfilled Orders    

Backlog represents the estimated dollar amount of revenues we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work on contracts and our pro-rata share of work to be performed by our unconsolidated joint ventures. We include total estimated revenues in backlog when a contract is awarded under a legally binding agreement. In many instances, arrangements included in backlog are complex, nonrepetitive and may fluctuate over the contract period due to the release of contracted work in phases by the customer. Additionally, nearly all contracts allow customers to terminate the agreement at any time for convenience, and from time to time customers may dispute or try to renegotiate existing contracts. These and other factors may result in delays or changes in our recognition of revenue from our backlog versus amounts we book as backlog. Certain contracts provide maximum dollar limits, with actual authorization to perform work under the contract agreed upon on a periodic basis with the customer. In these arrangements, only the amounts authorized and probable are included in backlog. For projects where we act solely in a project management capacity, we only include the expected value of our services in backlog.

We define backlog, as it relates to U.S. government contracts, as our estimate of the remaining future revenue from existing signed contracts over the remaining base contract performance period (including customer approved option periods) for which work scope and price have been agreed with the customer. We define funded backlog as the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized. We define unfunded backlog as the total backlog less the funded backlog. Our MTS backlog does not include any estimate of future potential delivery orders that might be awarded under our government-wide acquisition contracts, agency-specific indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts or other multiple-award contract vehicles, nor does it include option periods that have not been exercised by the customer.

Within our MTS business segment, we calculate estimated backlog for long-term contracts associated with the U.K. government's PFIs based on the aggregate amount that our client would contractually be obligated to pay us over the life of the project. We update our estimates of the future work to be executed under these contracts on a quarterly basis and adjust backlog if necessary.

Refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" contained in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of other factors that may cause backlog to ultimately convert into revenues at different amounts.

We have included in the table below our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint ventures' estimated backlog. As these projects are accounted for under the equity method, only our share of future earnings from these projects will be recorded in our results of operations. Our proportionate share of backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $2.8 billion at January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025.

The following table summarizes our backlog by business segment as of January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025, respectively. The disposal of HomeSafe met the requirements to be reported as discontinued operations. Backlog as of January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025 does not include any amounts related to HomeSafe.

We estimate that as of January 2, 2026, 36% of our backlog will be executed within one year. Of this amount, we estimate that 83% will be recognized in revenues on our consolidated statement of operations and 17% will be recorded by our unconsolidated joint ventures. As of January 2, 2026, $112 million of our backlog relates to active contracts that are in a loss position.

As of January 2, 2026, 17% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts, 39% was attributable to PFIs, 24% was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts and 20% was attributable to time-and-materials contracts. PFI arrangements are predominantly fixed‑price in nature, and therefore the PFI portion of backlog primarily reflects fixed‑price contractual structures. For contracts that contain fixed-price, cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials components, we classify the individual components as either fixed-price, cost-reimbursable or time-and materials according to the composition of the contract; however, for smaller contracts, we characterize the entire contract based on the predominant component. As of

52

January 2, 2026, $9.0 billion of our MTS backlog was currently funded by our customers. Excluding PFIs, 40% of our MTS backlog is currently funded by our customers. As of January 2, 2026, we had approximately $6.3 billion of priced option periods not yet exercised by the customer for U.S. government contracts that are not included in the backlog amounts presented above.

The difference between backlog of $16.9 billion and the remaining performance obligations as defined by ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") of $13.3 billion is primarily due to our proportionate share of backlog related to unconsolidated joint ventures which is not included in our remaining performance obligations. See Note 3. "Revenue" to our consolidated financial statements for discussion of the remaining performance obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is provided by available cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, our Senior Credit Facility (as defined below), sale or divestiture of assets and access to capital markets. Our operating cash flow can vary significantly from year to year and is affected by the mix, terms, timing and stage of completion of our projects. We often receive cash in advance on certain of our sustainable technology projects. On time-and-material and cost reimbursable contracts, we may utilize cash on hand or availability under our Senior Credit Facility to satisfy any periodic operating cash requirements for working capital, as we incur costs and subsequently invoice our customers.

Certain STS services projects may require us to provide credit support for our performance obligations to our customers in the form of letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees. Our ability to obtain new project awards in the future may be dependent on our letter of credit and surety bonding capacity, which may be further dependent on the timely release of existing letters of credit and surety bonds. As the need for credit support arises, letters of credit may be issued under the Revolver (as defined below) or with lending counterparties on a bilateral, syndicated or other basis.

We believe that existing cash balances, internally generated cash flows, availability under our Senior Credit Facility and other lines of credit are sufficient to support our business operations for the next 12 months. As of January 2, 2026, we are in compliance with all financial covenants related to our debt agreements.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $500 million at January 2, 2026 and $342 million at January 3, 2025 and consisted of the following:

Our cash balances are held in numerous accounts throughout the world to fund our global activities, including acquisitions, joint ventures and other business partnerships. Domestic cash relates to cash balances held by U.S. entities and is largely used to support project activities of those businesses as well as general corporate needs such as the payment of dividends to shareholders, repayment of debt and potential repurchases of our outstanding common stock. Additionally, domestic cash and cash equivalents includes $15 million and $12 million held by our wholly owned captive insurance company as of January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025, respectively, which is generally not available to KBR to support its other operations.

Our international cash balances may be available for general corporate purposes but are subject to local restrictions, such as capital adequacy requirements and maintaining sufficient cash balances to support our U.K. pension plan and other obligations incurred in the normal course of business by those foreign entities. Repatriations of our undistributed foreign earnings are generally free of U.S. tax but may incur withholding and/or state taxes. We consider our future non-U.S. cash needs as 1) our anticipated foreign working capital requirements, including funding of our U.K. pension plan, 2) the expected growth opportunities across all geographical markets and 3) our plans to invest in strategic growth opportunities, which may include acquisitions, joint ventures and other business partnerships around the world, including whether foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. If management were to completely remove the indefinite investment assertion on all foreign subsidiaries, the exposure to local withholding taxes would be less than $10 million.

Joint venture cash and Aspire Defence project cash balances reflect the amounts held by joint venture entities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. These amounts are limited to those entities' activities and are not readily available for general corporate purposes; however, portions of such amounts may become available to us in the future should there be a

53

distribution of dividends to the joint venture partners. We expect that the majority of the joint venture cash balances will be utilized for the corresponding joint venture purposes or for paying dividends. In fiscal 2025 a contractual repayment was made by the Aspire Defence subcontracting entities.

As of January 2, 2026, substantially all of our excess cash was held in interest bearing operating accounts or short-term investment accounts with the primary objectives of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity.

Operating Activities - continuing operations. Cash provided by operations totaled $557 million and $450 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, as compared to net income from continuing operations of $458 million and $379 million in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of working capital balances for projects. Working capital levels vary from year to year and are primarily affected by our volume of work. These levels are also impacted by the mix, stage of completion and commercial terms of projects. Working capital requirements also vary by project depending on the type of client and location throughout the world.

The increase in operating cash flows in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 is primarily due to the resolution of an outstanding unapproved change order within our Mission Technology Solutions segment. This increase was offset primarily by changes in the primary components of our working capital. The primary components of our working capital accounts are accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and contract liabilities. In fiscal 2025, the accounts payable cash outflow included a contractual repayment made by the Aspire Defence subcontracting entities. The working capital components are also impacted by the size and changes in the mix of our cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials projects versus fixed price projects, and as a result, fluctuations in these components are not uncommon in our business. Additionally, in fiscal 2025 there were decreases in pension funding that resulted in additional operating cash flows.

Investing Activities - continuing operations. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $16 million in fiscal 2025 and was primarily related to a return of equity method investment from BRIS of $82 million. This was offset by $42 million of capital expenditures, $14 million related to the acquisition of Infrastar Limited and funding in other investment of $10 million. See Note 9. "Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities" to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the return of equity method investment from BRIS.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $751 million in fiscal 2024 and was primarily related to the acquisition of LinQuest, net of cash acquired of $738 million, capital expenditures of $52 million and funding in other investment of $5 million. This was offset by a return of equity method investment from JKC in fiscal 2024 of approximately $36 million related to our proportionate share of a tax refund. Additionally, we received $7 million primarily from the sale of our investment interest in a joint venture within our MTS segment.

Financing Activities - continuing operations. Cash used in financing activities totaled $403 million for fiscal 2025. The primary uses of cash in financing activities were $505 million in payments on the Revolver, $26 million in payments on our Term Loan A, $10 million in payments on our Term Loan B, $323 million for the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program, $6 million for the repurchase of common stock under our "withhold to cover" program and $84 million of dividend payments to common shareholders. These decreases were offset by $555 million in borrowings on our Revolver.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $374 million in fiscal 2024 and was primarily related to $393 million in borrowings on our Revolver and $574 million in borrowings associated with Amendment No. 11 and No. 13 to our Credit

54

Agreement. These increases were offset by $124 million of principal payments related to our Senior Credit Facility, $98 million in payments on the Revolver, $204 million for the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program and $14 million for the repurchase of common stock under our "withhold to cover" program. Cash used in financing activities also included a $33 million payment for the settlement of warrants, $79 million of dividend payments to common shareholders, $18 million in debt issuance costs associated with Amendment No. 11, No. 12 and No. 13 to our Credit Agreement for our Senior Credit Facility and $10 million for the acquisition of a noncontrolling interest.

Cash flows from discontinued operations. Cash flows from discontinued operations are associated with the disposal of HomeSafe. Cash used in operations totaled $33 million for fiscal 2025 and cash provided by operations totaled $12 million for fiscal 2024. Changes in HomeSafe's working capital accounts were the primary components of operating cash flows for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. Cash used in investing activities totaled $12 million and $25 million for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, which is related to capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $12 million for fiscal 2025 due to investments from the noncontrolling interest partner. See Note 21. "Discontinued Operations" to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Future sources of cash. We believe that future sources of cash include cash flows from operations (including accounts receivable monetization arrangements), cash derived from working capital management and cash borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.

Future uses of cash. We believe that future uses of cash include working capital requirements, joint venture capital calls, capital expenditures, dividends, pension funding obligations, repayments of borrowings, share repurchases, legal settlements of any currently outstanding legal matter or any future legal proceeding and strategic investments including acquisitions, joint ventures and other business partnerships. Our capital expenditures will be focused primarily on facilities and equipment to support our businesses. In addition, we will use cash to make payments under leases and various other obligations, including potential litigation payments, as they arise.

We anticipate that, in connection with and prior to the completion of the Planned Spin-Off, the Mission Technology Solutions business will make a cash distribution to KBR using proceeds received from its anticipated financing transactions to be undertaken as part of its transition to an independent, publicly traded company. We intend to use the cash distributed to KBR by the Mission Technology Solutions business to reduce our level of indebtedness.

Other factors potentially affecting liquidity

Ichthys LNG Project. As part of the settlement agreement between JKC and Ichthys LNG, Pty, Ltd (collectively, “the Parties”) in October 2021, KBR’s letters of credit were reduced to $82 million from $164 million. Additionally, as part of this settlement agreement, the Parties agreed to consult in good faith and to cooperate to seek maximum recovery from the insurance policies and paint manufacturer for the deterioration of paint and insulation on certain exterior areas of the plant. The Parties agreed to collectively pursue claims against the paint manufacturer, and JKC has assigned claims under the insurance policy regarding the paint and insulation matters to the client. The parties have agreed that if, at the date of final resolution of the above proceedings and claims with respect to the paint and insulation matters, the recovered amount from the paint manufacturer and insurance claim is less than the stipulated ceiling amount in the settlement agreement, JKC will pay the client the difference between the stipulated ceiling amount and the recovered amount. JKC has provided for and continues to maintain a provision for this contingent liability.

U.K. pension obligation. We have recognized on our consolidated balance sheets a funding surplus of approximately $84 million (calculated as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) as of January 2, 2026 for our frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The funding requirements for our U.K. pension plan are determined based on the U.K. Pensions Act 1995. Annual minimum funding requirements are based on a binding agreement with the Trustee of the U.K. pension plan that is negotiated on a triennial basis. This schedule of contributions will be reviewed by the Trustee and KBR no later than 15 months after the effective date of each actuarial valuation, due every three years. In 2024, the Trustee of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan commenced the triennial actuarial valuation of the plan which was finalized in fiscal 2025. At this time, we do not anticipate contributing additional funding to this plan at least until the next triennial valuation occurs. In the future, pension funding may increase or decrease depending on changes in the levels of interest rates, pension plan asset return performance and other factors. A significant increase in our funding requirements for the U.K. pension plan could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position.

Sales of Receivables. From time to time, we sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions under various accounts receivable monetization programs. One such program is with MUFG Bank, Ltd. ("MUFG") under a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement, which provides the sale to MUFG of certain of our designated eligible receivables, with a significant portion of such receivables being owed by the U.S. government. We plan to continue to utilize these programs to ensure we have flexibility to meet our capital needs. Refer to Note 20. "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management" to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our sales of receivables.

Credit Agreement and Senior Credit Facility

Information relating to our Senior Credit Facility is described in Note 11. "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 7.

Senior Notes

Information relating to our Senior Notes is described in Note 11. "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 7.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees. In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into various arrangements providing financial or performance assurance to customers on behalf of certain consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. Such off-balance sheet arrangements include letters of credit, surety bonds and corporate guarantees to support the creditworthiness or project execution commitments of these entities and typically have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period beyond completion in certain circumstances such as for warranties. We may also guarantee that a project, once completed, will achieve specified performance standards. If the project subsequently fails to meet guaranteed performance standards, we may incur additional costs, pay liquidated damages or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to achieve the required performance standards. The potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under an outstanding performance arrangement is typically the remaining estimated cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties. For cost-reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed under the contract. For fixed-price contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete the project. If costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, we may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, subcontractors or vendors for claims.

In our joint venture arrangements, the liability of each partner is usually joint and several. This means that each joint venture partner may become liable for the entire risk of performance guarantees provided by each partner to the customer. Typically, each joint venture partner indemnifies the other partners for any liabilities incurred in excess of the liabilities the other party is obligated to bear under the respective joint venture agreement. We are unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees related to joint venture projects due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of any contractual defaults by our joint venture partners, resource availability, potential performance delays caused by the defaults, the location of the projects and the terms of the related contracts. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our fixed-price contracts and operations through joint ventures and partnerships.

In certain limited circumstances, we enter into financial guarantees in the ordinary course of business, with financial institutions and other credit grantors, which generally obligate us to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower’s obligation. We account for both financial and performance guarantees at fair value at issuance in accordance with ASC Subtopic 460-10, Guarantees, as of January 2, 2026, we had no material guarantees of the work or obligations of third parties recorded.

In connection with certain projects, we are required to provide letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees to our customers in the ordinary course of business as credit support for contractual performance guarantees, advanced payments received from customers and future funding commitments. As of January 2, 2026, we had a $1 billion committed line of credit on the Revolver under our Senior Credit Facility and $488 million of bilateral and uncommitted lines of credit. As of January 2, 2026, with respect to our Revolver, we had $395 million of outstanding borrowings. We also have $14 million of outstanding letters of credit on our Senior Credit Facility. With respect to our $488 million of bilateral and uncommitted lines of credit, we

56

utilized $296 million for letters of credit as of January 2, 2026. The total remaining capacity of these committed and uncommitted lines of credit was approximately $783 million as of January 2, 2026, all of which can be used toward issuing letters of credit. Information relating to our letters of credit is described in Note 11. "Debt and Other Credit Facilities" to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 7. Other than as discussed in this report, we have not engaged in any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements through special purpose entities.

The payments due for interest reflect the cash interest that will be paid, which includes interest on outstanding borrowings and commitment fees. These amounts exclude the amortization of discounts or debt issuance costs.

(b)In the ordinary course of business, we enter into commitments to purchase software and related maintenance, materials, supplies and similar items. The purchase obligations disclosed above do not include purchase obligations that we enter into with vendors in the normal course of business that support direct project costs on existing contracting arrangements with our customers. We expect to recover such obligations from our customers.

(c)We have excluded uncertain tax positions totaling $76 million as of January 2, 2026. The ultimate timing of settlement of these obligations cannot be determined with reasonable assurance. See Note 12. "Income Taxes" to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on income taxes.

Transactions with Joint Ventures

We form incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures to execute certain projects. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction management, operations or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for financial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our subcontractor revenues or expenses, however, we recognize profit on our subcontractor scope of work up to but not in excess of the joint venture's percent complete on its scope of work. We recognize revenue over time on our services provided to joint ventures that we consolidate and our services provided to joint ventures that we record under the equity method of accounting. See Note 9. "Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities" to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. The information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 7.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the determination of financial positions, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1. "Significant Accounting Policies" to our consolidated financial statements. The following discussion is intended to highlight and describe those accounting policies that are especially critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and to provide a better understanding of our significant accounting estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting estimates are important to the representation of our financial position and results of operations and involve our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable according to the current facts and circumstances through the date of the issuance of our financial statements.

Contract Revenue and Contract Estimates. Our policy on revenue recognition is provided in Note 1. "Significant Accounting Policies" to our consolidated financial statements and is also applied to the revenues of our equity method investments included in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. We recognize revenue on substantially all of our contracts over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Our contracts are generally accounted for as a single performance obligation and are not segmented between types of services provided. We recognize revenue on those contracts over time using the cost-to-cost method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs at completion. Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontractors costs and indirect costs related to contract performance. We believe this method is the most accurate measure of contract performance because it directly measures the value of the goods and services transferred to the customer. For all other contracts we recognize revenue when services are performed which generally coincides with our ability to bill.

The cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition requires us to prepare estimates of cost to complete for contracts in progress. Due to the nature of the work performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimates of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and require significant judgment. In making such estimates, judgments are required to evaluate contingencies such as potential variances in schedule and the cost of materials, labor and productivity, the impact of change orders, liability claims, contract disputes and achievement of contractual performance standards. As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we routinely review and update our significant contract estimates through a disciplined project review process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations and estimates at completion. We have a long history of working with multiple types of projects and in preparing cost estimates. However, there are many factors that impact future cost as outlined in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These factors can affect the accuracy of our estimates and materially impact our future reported earnings. Changes in total estimated contract costs and losses, if any, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the changes are identified at the contract level. Such changes in contract estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in a prior period. Changes in contract estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue. If the current estimate differs from the previous estimate, revenue is recognized through a cumulative catch up adjustment in the current period.

It is common for our contracts to contain variable consideration in the form of incentive fees, performance bonuses, award fees, liquidated damages or penalties that may increase or decrease the transaction price. Variable consideration may be tied to our performance, cost targets, or achievement of milestones. Other contract provisions also give rise to variable consideration such as unapproved change orders and claims, and on certain contracts, index-based price adjustments. We estimate the amount of variable consideration at the most likely amount we expect to be entitled and include in the transaction

58

price when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Variable consideration associated with claims and unapproved change orders is included in the transaction price only to the extent of costs incurred. We recognize claims against suppliers and subcontractors as a reduction in recognized costs when enforceability is established by the contract and the amounts are reasonably estimable and probable of recovery. Reductions in costs are recognized to the extent of the lesser of the amounts management expects to recover or actual costs incurred.

Under cost-reimbursable contracts, the price is generally variable based upon our actual allowable costs incurred for materials, equipment, reimbursable labor hours, overhead and G&A expenses. The FAR provides guidance on types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided to the U.S. government and its agencies. Pricing, including the types of costs that are allowable, for non-U.S. government agencies and commercial customers is based on specific negotiations with each customer. We recognize revenue on cost-reimbursable contracts to the extent it is not probable a significant reversal will occur.

Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance and any other information (historical, current or forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

Purchase Price Allocation. We allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset and are developed using widely accepted valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows. When determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of an acquired business, we make judgments and estimates using all available information to us including, but not limited to, quoted market prices, carrying values, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth rates and margins, attrition rates, future changes in technology and brand awareness, loyalty and position and discount rates. We engage third-party appraisal firms when appropriate to assist in the fair value determination of intangible assets. The purchase price allocation recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. Our purchase price allocation is discussed in Note 4. "Acquisitions" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill and intangible assets is tested annually for possible impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter within our fiscal year, and on an interim basis when indicators of possible impairment exist. For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is assigned to the applicable reporting units based on our current reporting structure. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors assessed for each of the applicable reporting units include, but are not limited to, changes in macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, discount rates, competitive environments and financial performance of the reporting units. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required.

While we have the option to proceed directly to the quantitative test, for fiscal 2025, management performed a qualitative impairment assessment of our reporting units, of which there were no indications that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units were less than their respective carrying values. As such, a quantitative goodwill test was not required, and no goodwill impairment was recognized in fiscal 2025. Our goodwill and intangible assets are discussed in Note 8. "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Taxes, Valuation Allowances and Tax Contingencies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We record a valuation allowance to reduce certain deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets by assessing the valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include our forecast of the timing and character of future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, income available from carryback years and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. To arrive at our forecast of the timing and character of future taxable income, we use estimates of economic and market assumptions, including growth rates in revenues, costs and estimates of future operating margins. These estimates can entail varying degrees of judgment based upon the amount of deferred tax assets assessed and length of the carryforward period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are discussed in Note 12. "Income Taxes" to our consolidated financial statements.

59

We consider both positive and negative evidence when evaluating the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Available evidence includes historical financial information supplemented by currently available information about future years. Generally, historical financial information is more objectively verifiable than projections of future income and is therefore given more weight in our assessment. We consider cumulative losses in the most recent twelve quarters to be significant negative evidence that is difficult to overcome in considering whether a valuation allowance is required. Conversely, we consider a cumulative income position over the most recent twelve quarters to be significant positive evidence that a valuation allowance may not be required. Changes in the amount, timing and character of our forecasted taxable income could have a significant impact of our ability to utilize deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance.

Our ability to utilize the unreserved foreign tax credit carryforwards is based on our ability to generate future taxable income of at least $286 million prior to their expiration whereas our ability to utilize other net deferred tax assets exclusive of those associated with indefinite-lived intangible assets is based on our ability to generate future taxable income of at least $914 million. Changes in our forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions within the carryforward periods could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and our valuation allowance.

We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if it is more likely than not that those positions will be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Tax filings of our subsidiaries, unconsolidated affiliates and related entities are routinely examined by tax authorities in the normal course of business. These examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes, which we work to resolve with the tax authorities and through the judicial process. Predicting the outcome of disputed assessments involves some uncertainty. Factors such as the availability of settlement procedures, willingness of tax authorities to negotiate and the operation and impartiality of judicial systems vary across the different tax jurisdictions and may significantly influence the ultimate outcome. We review the facts for each assessment, and then utilize assumptions and estimates to determine the most likely outcome and provide taxes, interest and penalties as needed based on this outcome.

Legal, Investigation and Other Contingent Matters. We record liabilities for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. We disclose matters when we believe a material loss is at least reasonably possible but not probable or if the loss is not reasonably estimable but probable and is expected to be material to our financial statements. Generally, our estimates related to these matters are developed in consultation with internal and external legal counsel. Our estimates are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying assumptions and a range of possible outcomes. When possible, we attempt to resolve these matters through settlements, mediation and arbitration proceedings. If the actual settlement costs, final judgments or fines differ from our estimates, our future financial results may be materially and adversely affected. We record adjustments to our initial estimates of these types of contingencies in the periods when the change in estimate is identified. All legal expenses associated with these matters are expensed as incurred. See Notes 6, 13 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our significant legal, investigation and other contingent matters.

Pensions. Our pension benefit obligations and expenses are calculated using actuarial models and methods. The most critical assumption and estimate used in the actuarial calculations is the discount rate for determining the current value of benefit obligations. Other assumptions and estimates used in determining benefit obligations and plan expenses include expected rate of return on plan assets, inflation rates and demographic factors such as retirement age, mortality and turnover. These assumptions and estimates are evaluated periodically and are updated accordingly to reflect our actual experience and expectations.

The discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations was computed using a yield curve approach that matches plan specific cash flows to a spot rate yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was determined by a stochastic projection that takes into account asset allocation strategies, historical long-term performance of individual asset classes, an analysis of additional return (net of fees) generated by active management, risks using standard deviations and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans' asset mix. Plan assets are comprised primarily of equity funds and securities, fixed income funds and securities, real estate and other funds. As we have both domestic and international plans, these assumptions differ based on varying factors specific to each particular country or economic environment.

60

The discount rate used to calculate the projected benefit obligation at the measurement date for our U.S. pension plan decreased to 4.97% at January 2, 2026 from 5.32% at January 3, 2025. The discount rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation at the measurement date for our U.K. pension plan, which constitutes 94% of all pension plans, increased to 5.60% at January 2, 2026 from 5.54% at January 3, 2025. Our expected long-term rates of return on plan assets utilized at the measurement date of January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025 was 6.24% and 6.64% for our U.S. pension plans, respectively, and 7.97% and 6.80% for our U.K. pension plans, respectively.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity to changes in certain assumptions, holding all other assumptions constant, for our pension plans:

Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses are recognized using the corridor method over a period of approximately 20 years, which represents a reasonable systematic method for amortizing gains and losses for the employee group. Our unrecognized actuarial gains and losses arise from several factors, including experience and assumption changes in the obligations and the difference between expected returns and actual returns on plan assets. The difference between actual and expected returns is deferred as an unrecognized actuarial gain or loss on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) and is recognized as a decrease or an increase in future pension expense. Our pretax unrecognized net actuarial loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss at January 2, 2026 was $932 million.

The actuarial assumptions used in determining our pension benefits may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, changes in the legislative or regulatory environment, higher or lower withdrawal rates and longer or shorter life spans of participants. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience, expectations or changes in assumptions may materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our actuarial estimates of pension expense and expected return on plan assets are discussed in Note 10. "Retirement Benefits" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
