PASADENA, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today its financial
results for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 ended June 27, 2014.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2014 Highlights:
-
Net earnings for the quarter of $64.8 million;
-
Diluted EPS for the quarter of $0.49; and
-
Backlog at June 27, 2014 of $18.5 billion.
Jacobs reported today net earnings of $64.8 million, or $0.49 per
diluted share, on revenues of $3.2 billion for its third quarter of
fiscal 2014 ended June 27, 2014. This compares to net earnings of $108.9
million, or $0.83 per diluted share, on revenues of $3.1 billion for the
third quarter of fiscal 2013 ended June 28, 2013.
Included in the company’s results for the quarter ended June 27, 2014 is
an aggregate after tax negative impact of $47.0 million or $0.35 per
diluted share related to restructuring efforts.
Jacobs also announced total backlog of $18.5 billion at June 27, 2014,
including a technical professional services component of $12.3 billion.
This is up approximately 7.5% from total backlog and up approximately
11.2% from technical professional services backlog of $17.2 billion and
$11.1 billion, respectively, at June 28, 2013.
Commenting on the results for the third quarter, Jacobs President and
CEO Craig Martin stated, “Third quarter results reflect good underlying
performance by the business. In spite of delays in investment decisions
in a number of markets, we were able to continue to build backlog. Our
control of SG&A costs was also good. Our customers' capital expenditure
forecasts remain robust and our prospect list is good. Our outlook for
the fourth quarter and for FY15 continues to be positive.”
Commenting on the Company’s earnings outlook for the remainder of fiscal
2014, Jacobs Chief Financial Officer John W. Prosser, Jr. stated, “We’re
making good progress with the restructuring and expect it to be complete
by the end of FY14. Excluding the unusual adjustments in the first half
and the net impact of restructuring in the second, we expect our EPS for
the year to be slightly below the midpoint of Q2 guidance which was
$3.15 to $3.55 per share.”
Jacobs is hosting a conference call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on
Tuesday, July 29, 2014, which it is webcasting live on the Internet at www.jacobs.com.
Jacobs is one of the world's largest and most diverse providers of
technical professional and construction services.
