NM – Not meaningful

 *As discussed in the first note to the accompanying financial statements, on November 30, 2000 the shareholders approved a spin-off distribution that will separate the company into two publicly traded companies – a “new” Fluor and Massey Energy Company. The net assets of Massey Energy Company at October 31, 2000 and its results of operations for all periods presented have been
reclassified and are presented as discontinued operations.

**The percentage shown for 2000 is presented on a pro forma basis, as if the spin-off distribution had occurred on October 31, 2000.

 

Note: The information contained in this annual report contains forward-looking statements regarding projected earning levels for fiscal year 2001, market outlook, new awards, backlog levels, competition, the adequacy of funds to service debt and the implementation of new strategic initiatives. These forward-looking statements reflect the company’s current analysis of existing information as of the date of this annual report. As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Due to unknown risks, the company’s actual results may differ materially from its expectations or projections. The factors potentially contributing to such differences include, among others:

  • Changes in global business, economic, political and social conditions;
  • The company’s failure to receive anticipated new contract awards;
  • Customer cancellations of, or scope adjustments to, existing contracts;
  • Difficulties or delay incurred in the execution of construction contracts resulting in cost overruns or liabilities;
  • Customer delays or defaults in making payments;
  • Difficulties and delays incurred in the implementation of strategic initiatives;
  • Risks and impacts resulting from the company’s reverse spin-off transaction consummated November 30, 2000 involving Massey Energy Company; and
  • Competition in the global engineering, procurement and construction industry.

The forward-looking statements are also based on various operating assumptions regarding, among other things, overhead costs and employment levels that may not be realized. In addition, while most risks affect only future costs or revenues that the company anticipates it will receive, some risks may relate to accruals that have already been reflected in earnings. The company’s failure to receive payments of these accrued earnings could result in charges against future earnings.

Additional information concerning factors that may influence the company’s results can be found in its press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including the discussion under the heading “Item 1. Business-Other Matters-Company Business Risks” in the company’s 10-K filed January 29, 2001. These filings are available publicly and upon request from Fluor’s Investor Relations Department: (949) 349-3909. The company disclaims any intent or obligation to update its forward-looking statements.
