PART I
| Item 1. | Business |
Fluor Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on September 11, 2000 prior to a reverse spin-off transaction which separated us from our coal business which now operates as Massey Energy Company. However, through various of our predecessors, we have been in business for more than 100 years. Our executive offices are located at One Enterprise Drive, Aliso Viejo, California 92656, telephone number (949) 349-2000.
The company itself is basically a holding company which owns the stock of a number of subsidiaries. It is through these subsidiaries that we perform our business. We operate globally, with offices in 25 countries across six continents. We define our business as providing engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance services. We serve a diverse set of industries ranging from oil and gas to power to industrial clients to the U.S. federal government. We also perform operations and maintenance activities for major industrial clients.
The company provides professional services on a global basis in the fields of engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance. During the first quarter of 2003, the company realigned certain operations to increase focus on the chemicals market. Projects in this market were formerly in the Energy & Chemicals segment and will now be executed and reported in the Industrial & Infrastructure segment. The Energy & Chemicals segment was renamed Oil & Gas and all prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.
We are aligned into five principal operating segments (each, a segment). The five segments are Oil & Gas, Industrial & Infrastructure, Government, Global Services and Power. Fluor Constructors International, Inc. which is organized and operates separately from our business segments, provides unionized management, construction and management services in the United States and Canada, both independently and as a subcontractor on projects to our segments.
A summary of our operations and activities by business segment and geographical area is set forth below.
Oil & Gas
The Oil & Gas segment is an integrated service provider offering a full range of design, engineering, procurement, construction and project management services to a broad spectrum of energy-related industries.
1
Industrial & Infrastructure
The Industrial & Infrastructure segment provides design, engineering, procurement and construction services to the manufacturing, life sciences, commercial and institutional, chemicals, mining, microelectronics, telecommunications and transportation sectors. We provide our clients with the resources of architecture, industrial design, engineering, construction, construction management and commissioning (including validation) for new construction and refurbishment of existing facilities. These projects often require state-of-the-art application of our clients process and intellectual knowledge. We focus on providing our clients with solutions to reduce and contain costs, and to compress delivery schedules. By doing so, our clients are able to begin to use their facilities on a quicker, more cost efficient basis.
Government
The Government segment is a leading provider of project management services to the United States government, particularly to the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense. This segment is presently providing environmental restoration, engineering, construction, site operations and maintenance services at two major Department of Energy project sites.
We also provide engineering and construction services, as well as contingency operations support to the Departments of Defense, State and Transportation and to agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Our contingency operations activities, which support military logistical and infrastructure needs around the world, are evidenced by our recent task orders for the U.S. Army Central Command to upgrade military facilities and electrical infrastructure in Iraq. In January 2003, we acquired Del-Jen, Inc., a leading provider of outsourced services to the federal government. Del-Jen provides operations and maintenance services at military bases and education and training services to the Department of Labor, particularly through its Job Corps programs. In November 2003, we acquired the International Division of J.A. Jones Construction Company, focusing on the Department of States embassy and consulate market. During fiscal 2003, we placed focus on successfully growing our Government business and we will continue to explore further growth and expansion opportunities in this segment.
Global Services
The Global Services segment brings together a variety of customized service capabilities that complement and support our core businesses. Service areas within this segment include operations and maintenance activities, construction and maintenance site services and industrial fleet outsourcing, plant turnaround services, temporary staffing, materials and subcontract procurement, and construction-related support. These markets are largely driven by the growing demand from clients to outsource non-core services. Global Services activities in the operations and maintenance markets include providing facility management, maintenance, operations and asset management services to the oil and gas, chemicals and life sciences, fossil and nuclear power, and manufacturing industries. We are a leading supplier of integrated facility management services, including on-site maintenance and operation support services. In March 2003, we acquired five specialty operations and maintenance business groups from Philip Services Corporation. The acquired business groups provide operations and maintenance to domestic industrial facilities, particularly in the oil and gas, refining, chemicals, petrochemicals and power generation industries.
We also provide Site Services and Fleet Outsourcing through our American Equipment Company, Inc. (AMECO) subsidiary. AMECO provides integrated construction equipment, tool and fleet outsourcing solutions on a global basis for construction projects and plant sites. With locations throughout North and South America, AMECO supports some of the largest construction projects and plant locations in the world.
2
Power
In the Power segment, we design and construct new power generation facilities, mostly in the fossil fuel power industry. We perform a full range of services, including engineering, procurement, construction, start-up, and maintenance. We also provide the design and installation of emissions equipment to comply with environmental guidelines. In addition, we have been successfully increasing the in-plant services we provide to the power market where, for example, we can assist clients in operational improvements, predictive and preventative maintenance and turbine fleet management. Previously, we performed the vast majority of our power work through our joint venture with Duke Energy. As the power market has cycled down over the past year from historical highs during 2001 and 2002, during fiscal 2003, we elected to discontinue this joint venture and will finish off the existing joint venture contracts. The Power segment also has responsibility for execution of our work in Mexico and Central America through ICA Fluor Daniel, a partnership between us and Grupo ICA.
Discontinued Coal Segment
On November 30, 2000 (the Distribution Date), Fluor Corporation (Old Fluor), a corporation incorporated in Delaware in 1978 as successor in interest to a California corporation of the same name incorporated in 1924, announced that it had completed a reverse spin-off transaction where Old Fluors Coal segment, which previously operated under the name of A. T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. subsidiary, was separated from the other business segments of Old Fluor.
The separation of the two companies was accomplished through a tax-free dividend (the Distribution) by Old Fluor of the company. As a result of the Distribution, we became a new entity comprised of all of Old Fluors business segments, other than those involving the Coal segment (the New Fluor Businesses). Old Fluor, the continuing entity consisting of the Coal segment of Old Fluor, changed its name to Massey Energy Company (Massey). As a result, two publicly-traded companies were created: Massey Energy Company, and a new Fluor Corporation which is the company that is the subject of this report. Massey Energy is a publicly-traded company that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange as MEE, and files its own reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Due to the relative significance of the New Fluor Businesses, the New Fluor Businesses have been treated as the accounting successor for financial reporting purposes, and the Coal segment has been classified by us as discontinued operations despite the legal form of the separation resulting from the Distribution.

Approximately one-third of backlog will not be performed in 2004.
For purposes of the preceding tables, the equipment, temporary staffing and global sourcing and procurement operations of our Global Services segment do not report backlog due to the short turnaround between the receipt of new awards and the recognition of revenue.
The dollar amount of the backlog is not necessarily indicative of our future earnings related to the performance of such work. Although backlog represents only business which is considered to be firm, there can be no assurance that cancellations or scope adjustments will not occur. Due to additional factors outside of our control, such as changes in project schedules, we cannot predict with certainty the portion of our December 31, 2003 backlog estimated to be performed subsequent to 2004.
For additional information with respect to our backlog, please refer to Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, below.
Types of Contracts
While the basic terms and conditions of the contracts that we perform may vary considerably, generally we perform our work under two groups of contracts: cost reimbursable, and guaranteed maximum and fixed price contracts. As of December 31, 2003, the following table breaks down the percentage and amount of revenue associated with these types of contracts for our existing backlog:
| 2003 Backlog | ||||||||
| (In millions) | ||||||||
|
Cost Reimbursable
|
60 | % | $ | 6,332 | ||||
|
Guaranteed Maximum and Fixed Price
|
40 | % | $ | 4,275 | ||||
Under cost reimbursable contracts, the client reimburses our costs in developing a project and pays us a pre-determined fee or a fee based upon a percentage of the costs incurred in completing the project. Our profit may be in the form of a fee, a simple mark-up applied to labor costs incurred in the contract, or a combination of the two. The fee element may also vary. The fee may be an incentive fee based upon achieving certain performance factors, milestones or targets; it may be a fixed amount in the contract; or it may be based upon a percentage of the costs incurred.
Guaranteed maximum price contracts or GMAX contracts are performed in a manner similar to cost reimbursable contracts except that the total fee plus the total cost cannot exceed an agreed upon guaranteed maximum price. We can be responsible for some or all of the total cost of the project if the cost exceeds the guaranteed maximum price. Where the total cost is less than the negotiated guaranteed maximum price, we will receive the benefit of the cost savings based upon a negotiated agreement with the client.
Fixed price contacts include both negotiated fixed-price contracts and lump sum contracts. Under negotiated fixed price contracts, we are selected as contractor first, and then we negotiate price with the client. These types of contracts generally occur where we commence work before a final price is agreed upon. Under lump sum contracts, we bid on a contract based upon specifications provided by the client against competitors, agreeing to develop a project at a fixed price. Another type of fixed price contract is a so-called unit price contract under which we are paid a set amount for every unit of work performed. In some fixed price contracts, we can benefit from some of the savings depending upon whether the client is willing to bear some

Our Government segment, as a prime contractor or a major subcontractor for a number of United States government programs, generally performs its services under cost reimbursable contracts although subject to applicable statutes and regulations. In many cases, these contracts include incentive-fee arrangements. The programs in question often take many years to complete and may be implemented by the award of many different contracts. Despite the fact that these programs are generally awarded on a multi-year basis, the funding for the programs is generally approved on an annual basis by Congress. The government is under no obligation to maintain funding at any specific level, or funds for a program may even be eliminated thereby significantly curtailing or stopping a program.
Some of our government contracts are known as Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity agreements. Under these arrangements, we work closely with the government to define the scope and amount of work required based upon an estimate of the maximum amount that the government desires to spend. While the scope is often not initially fully defined or require any specific amount of work, once the project scope is determined, additional work may be awarded to us without the need for further competitive bidding.
Contracts and business with the government are also subject to a number of socio-economic and other requirements as well as certain procurement regulations. If a contractor fails to comply with the requirements and regulations, it could lead to suspension or even debarment from government contracting. Finally, government contracting and the continued funding of programs is also subject to a variety of factors beyond our control such as political developments both domestically and internationally, budget considerations and changes in procurement policies. Thus, many of our government contracts can be terminated at the discretion of the government generally with payment of compensation only for work and commitments made at the time of termination, along with an allowance for profit for work performed.
Competition
We are one of the worlds larger providers of engineering, procurement and construction services. The markets served by our business are highly competitive and for the most part require substantial resources, particularly highly skilled and experienced technical personnel. A large number of companies are competing in the markets served by the business, including the Bechtel Group, Inc., the Shaw Group, Jacobs Engineering Group, Kellogg Brown & Root, Washington Group International and Foster Wheeler Corp.
In the engineering and construction arena, our competition is primarily centered on performance and the ability to provide the design, engineering, planning, management and project execution skills required to complete complex projects in a safe, timely and cost-efficient manner. Our engineering, procurement and construction business derives its competitive strength from our diversity, reputation for quality, technology, cost-effectiveness, worldwide procurement capability, project management expertise, geographic coverage and ability to meet client requirements by performing construction on either a union or an open shop basis, ability to execute projects of varying sizes, strong safety record and lengthy experience with a wide range of services and technologies.
The various markets served by the Global Services segment, while containing some similarities, tend also to have discrete issues particularly impacting that unit. Each of the markets we serve has a large number of companies competing in its markets. In the equipment sector, which operates in numerous markets, the equipment rental industry is highly fragmented and very competitive, with most competitors operating in specific geographic areas. The competition for larger capital project services is more narrow and limited to only those capable of providing comprehensive equipment, tool and management services. Temporary staffing is a highly fragmented market with over 1,000 companies competing nationally. The key competitive factors in this business line are price, service, quality, breadth of service, and the ability to retain qualified personnel and geographical coverage. The barriers to entry in operations and maintenance are both financially and logistically

Key competitive factors in our Government segment are primarily centered on performance and the ability to provide the design, engineering, planning, management and project execution skills required to complete complex projects in a safe, timely and cost-efficient manner.
Raw Materials
Raw Materials and the components necessary for the conduct of our businesses are generally available from numerous sources. We do not foresee any unavailability of raw materials and components that would have a material adverse effect on our businesses in the near term.
Research and Development
While we engage in research and development efforts both on current projects and in the development of new products and services, during the past three fiscal years, we have not incurred costs for company-sponsored research and development activities which would be material, special or unusual in any of our business segments.
Environmental, Safety and Health Matters
We believe, based upon present information available to us, that our accruals with respect to future environmental costs are adequate and any future costs will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Some factors, however could result in additional expenditures or the provision of additional accruals in expectation of such expenditures. These include the imposition of more stringent requirements under environmental laws or regulations, new developments or changes regarding site cleanup costs or the allocation of such costs among potentially responsible parties, or a determination that we are potentially responsible for the release of hazardous substances at sites other than those currently identified.

With respect to our total number of employees, as of December 31, 2003 we had approximately 17,564 salaried employees and 11,447 craft and hourly employees. The number of craft and hourly employees varies in relation to the number and size of projects we have in process at any particular time. In addition, during fiscal 2003, we had a reduction in the amount of direct hire hourly work which has resulted in a decrease in employment.

Company Risk Factors
We bear the risk of cost overruns in approximately 40% of the dollar-value of our contracts. We may experience reduced profits or, in some cases, losses under these contracts if costs increase above our estimates.
We conduct our business under various types of contractual arrangements. In terms of dollar-value, the majority of our contracts allocate the risk of cost overruns to our client by requiring our client to reimburse us for our costs. Approximately 40% of the dollar-value of our contracts, however, are guaranteed maximum or lump sum contracts, where we bear a significant portion of the risk for cost overruns. Under these fixed-price contracts, contract prices are established in part on cost and scheduling estimates which are based on a number of assumptions, including assumptions about future economic conditions, prices and availability of labor, equipment and materials, and other exigencies. If these estimates prove inaccurate, or circumstances change, cost overruns may occur, and we could experience reduced profits or, in some cases, a loss for that project.
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future earnings.
As of December 31, 2003, our backlog was approximately $10.6 billion. We cannot guarantee that the revenues projected in our backlog will be realized or, if realized, will result in profits. Projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time. In addition, project cancellations or scope adjustments may occur, from time to time, with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog. For example, during our third quarter in fiscal 2003, three projects totaling approximately $750 million were removed from our backlog. One of the projects was cancelled and removed from our backlog as a result of financing difficulties; the other two projects were cancelled and removed from backlog as a result of our strategic decision to exit a particular market. These types of backlog reductions adversely affect the revenue and profit we actually receive from contracts reflected in our backlog. Future project cancellations and scope adjustments could further reduce the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenues and profits that we actually receive.
If we guarantee the timely completion or performance standards of a project, we could incur additional costs to cover our guarantee obligations.
In some instances and in many of our fixed-price contracts, we guarantee a customer that we will complete a project by a scheduled date. We sometimes provide that the project, when completed, will also achieve certain performance standards. If we subsequently fail to complete the project as scheduled, or if the project subsequently fails to meet guaranteed performance standards, we may be held responsible for cost impacts to the client resulting from any delay or the costs to cause the project to achieve the performance standards. In some cases, where we fail to meet performance standards, we may also be subject to agreed-upon liquidated damages. To the extent that these events occur, the total costs of the project would exceed our original estimates and we could experience reduced profits or, in some cases, a loss for that project.
The nature of our engineering and construction business exposes us to potential liability claims and contract disputes which may reduce our profits.
We engage in engineering and construction activities for large industrial facilities where design, construction or systems failures can result in substantial injury or damage to third parties. Any liability in excess of our insurance limits at locations engineered or constructed by us could result in significant liability claims against us, which claims may reduce our profits. In addition, if there is a customer dispute regarding our performance of project services, the customer may decide to delay or withhold payment to us. If we were ultimately unable to collect on these payments, our profits would be reduced. For example, in connection with disputes relating to our Hamaca Crude Upgrader Project, we had deferred approximately $179.6 million of incurred costs, as of December 31, 2003. If we fail to obtain a favorable judgment or are unable to collect on
7
We are vulnerable to the cyclical nature of the markets we serve.
The demand for our services and products is dependent upon the existence of projects with engineering, procurement, construction and management needs. Although downturns can impact our entire business, our telecommunications and mining markets exemplify businesses that are cyclical in nature and continue to be affected by a decrease in worldwide demand for the projects during the past year. Similarly, the Power segment, which services the power industry, has seen strong growth in the past few years due to previously unmet power needs and deregulation but is now seeing its business opportunities decrease relative to the last few years. Industries such as these and many of the others we serve have historically been and will continue to be vulnerable to general downturns and are cyclical in nature. As a result, our past results have varied considerably and may continue to vary depending upon the demand for future projects in these industries.
We maintain a workforce based upon current and anticipated workloads. If we do not receive future contract awards or if these awards are delayed, significant costs may result.
Our estimates of future performance depend on, among other matters, whether and when we will receive certain new contract awards. While our estimates are based upon our good faith judgment, these estimates can be unreliable and may frequently change based on newly available information. In the case of large-scale domestic and international projects where timing is often uncertain, it is particularly difficult to predict whether and when we will receive a contract award. The uncertainty of contract award timing can present difficulties in matching our workforce size with our contract needs. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we could incur costs resulting from reductions in staff or redundancy of facilities that would have the effect of reducing our profits.
We have international operations that are subject to foreign economic and political uncertainties. Unexpected and adverse changes in the foreign countries in which we operate could result in project disruptions, increased costs and potential losses.
Our business is subject to fluctuations in demand and to changing domestic and international economic and political conditions which are beyond our control. As of December 31, 2003, approximately 52% of our projected backlog consisted of engineering and construction revenues to be derived from facilities to be constructed in other countries; we expect that a significant portion of our revenues and profits will continue to come from international projects for the foreseeable future.
Operating in the international marketplace exposes us to a number of risks including:
| | Abrupt changes in foreign government policies and regulations, | |
| | Embargoes, | |
| | United States government policies, and | |
| | International hostilities. |
The lack of a well-developed legal system in some of these countries may make it difficult to enforce our contractual rights. We also face significant risks due to civil strife, acts of war, terrorism and insurrection. Our level of exposure to these risks will vary with respect to each project, depending on the particular stage of each such project. For example, our risk exposure with respect to a project in an early development stage will generally be less than our risk exposure with respect to a project in the middle of construction. To the extent that our international business is affected by unexpected and adverse foreign economic and political conditions, we may experience project disruptions and losses. Project disruptions and losses could significantly reduce our revenues and profits.
Our government contracts may be terminated at any time. Also, if we do not comply with restrictions and regulations imposed by the government, our government contracts may be terminated and we may be unable
8
We enter into significant government contracts, from time to time, such as those that we have with the U.S. Department of Energy at Fernald and Hanford. Government contracts are subject to various uncertainties, restrictions and regulations, including oversight audits by government representatives and profit and cost controls. Government contracts are also exposed to uncertainties associated with congressional funding. The government is under no obligation to maintain funding at any specific level and funds for a program may even be eliminated.
In addition, government contracts are subject to specific procurement regulations and a variety of other socio-economic requirements. We must comply with these government regulations and requirements as well as various statutes related to employment practices, environmental protection, recordkeeping and accounting. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations, requirements or statutes, our existing government contracts could be terminated, and we could be temporarily suspended from government contracting or subcontracting. If one or more of our government contracts are terminated for any reason, or if we are suspended from government contract work, we could suffer a significant reduction in expected revenues. We also run the risk of the impact of government audits, investigations and proceedings, and so-called qui tam actions which, if an unfavorable result occurs, could impact our profits and financial condition, as well as our ability to obtain future government work.
Our international operations expose us to foreign currency fluctuations that could increase our U.S. dollar costs or reduce our U.S. dollar revenues.
Because our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, we try to denominate our contracts in United States dollars. However, from time to time our contracts are denominated in foreign currencies, which results in our foreign operations facing the additional risk of fluctuating currency values and exchange rates, hard currency shortages and controls on currency exchange. Changes in the value of foreign currencies could increase our U.S. dollar costs for, or reduce our U.S. dollar revenues from, our foreign operations. Any increased costs or reduced revenues as a result of foreign currency fluctuations could affect our profits.
Intense competition in the engineering and construction industry could reduce our market share and profits.
We serve markets that are highly competitive and in which a large number of multinational companies, such as the Bechtel Group, Inc., the Shaw Group, Jacobs Engineering Group, Kellogg Brown & Root, Washington Group International and Foster Wheeler Corp., compete. In particular, the engineering and construction markets are highly competitive and require substantial resources and capital investment in equipment, technology and skilled personnel. Competition also places downward pressure on our contract prices and profit margins. Intense competition is expected to continue in these markets, presenting us with significant challenges in our ability to maintain strong growth rates and acceptable profit margins. If we are unable to meet these competitive challenges, we could lose market share to our competitors and experience an overall reduction in our profits.
The success of our joint ventures depend on the satisfactory performance by our joint venture partners of their joint venture obligations. The failure of our joint venture partners to perform their joint venture obligations could impose on us additional financial and performance obligations that could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses for us with respect to the joint venture.
We enter into various joint ventures as part of our engineering, procurement and construction businesses, such as ICA/ Fluor Daniel, Duke/ Fluor Daniel and project specific joint ventures. The success of these and other joint ventures depend, in large part, on the satisfactory performance of our joint venture partners of their joint venture obligations. If our joint venture partners fail to satisfactorily perform their joint venture obligations as a result of financial or other difficulties, the joint venture may be unable to adequately perform or deliver its contracted services. Under these circumstances, we may be required to make additional investments and provide additional services to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of the contracted services. These additional obligations could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses for us with respect to the joint venture.

We could incur substantial tax liabilities if certain representations and warranties made by our predecessor-in-interest are inaccurate.
Prior to the reverse spin-off involving our former coal segment, our predecessor-in-interest received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the reverse spin-off qualified as a tax-free spin-off under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The ruling was granted based upon certain representations made by our predecessor-in-interest. While we are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause those representations to be incorrect or incomplete, if those representations were inaccurate, it is possible that the ruling would no longer be valid. In such event, we could incur a significant corporate tax liability that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Past and future environmental, safety and health regulations could impose on us significant additional costs that reduce our profits.
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and health and safety regulations. Our projects can involve the handling of hazardous and other highly regulated materials which, if improperly handled or disposed of, could subject us to civil and criminal liabilities. It is impossible to reliably predict the full nature and effect of judicial, legislative or regulatory developments relating to health and safety regulations and environmental protection regulations applicable to our operations. The applicable regulations, as well as the technology and length of time available to comply with those regulations, continue to develop and change. In addition, past activities could also have a material impact on us. For example, when we sold our mining business formerly conducted through St. Joe Minerals Corporation, we retained responsibility for certain non-lead related environmental liabilities, but only to the extent that such liabilities were not covered by St. Joes comprehensive general liability insurance. While we are not currently aware of any material exposure arising from our former St. Joes business or otherwise, the costs of complying with rulings and regulations or satisfying any environmental remediation requirements for which we are found responsible could be substantial and could reduce our profits. We are also subject to a number of asbestos-related lawsuits.
If we experience delays and/or defaults in customer payments, we could be unable to recover all expenditures.
Because of the nature of our contracts, at times we commit resources to projects prior to receiving payments from the customer in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures on client projects as they are incurred. Delays in customer payments may require us to make a working capital investment. If a customer defaults in making its payments on a project in which we have devoted significant resources, it could have a material negative effect on our results of operations.
Our recent and any future acquisitions may not be successful.
We expect to continue to pursue select acquisitions of businesses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to locate suitable acquisitions or that we will be able to consummate any such transactions on terms and conditions acceptable to us, or that such transactions will be successful. Acquisitions may bring us into businesses we have not previously conducted and expose us to additional business risks that are different than those we have traditionally experienced. We also may encounter difficulties integrating acquisitions and successfully managing the growth we expect to experience from these acquisitions.
Conversion of our outstanding convertible securities will dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We may issue, from time to time, securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock. For example, we recently issued $330 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024, which are convertible into an aggregate of 5,898,750 shares of our common stock at the initial conversion price of $55.94. The conversion of these and other of our convertible securities into shares of our common stock will dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon conversion of these convertible securities could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of our 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due

| Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
Fluor and its subsidiaries, as part of their normal business activities, are parties to a number of legal proceedings and other matters in various stages of development. While we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion and based on reports of counsel, any liability arising from these matters individually and in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position, or the results of operations of the company, after giving effect to provisions already recorded.
In addition to the matters described above, we are involved in disputes with respect to the Hamaca Crude Upgrader Project located in Jose, Venezuela. We are part of a joint venture which is actively proceeding on a number of issues under binding arbitration to recover certain costs we have incurred with respect to this project. For additional information on the Hamaca disputes and certain other matters in dispute, see the section entitled Matters in Dispute Resolution in Item 7.

In November 2000, a spin-off distribution to shareholders was effected which separated then existing Fluor Corporation into two publicly traded companies new Fluor (Fluor or the company) and Massey Energy Company (Massey). Masseys results of operations for all periods prior to the spin-off are presented as discontinued operations.
In September 2001, the company adopted a plan to dispose of certain non-core construction equipment and temporary staffing businesses. The assets and liabilities (including debt) and results of operations of Massey and the non-core businesses for all periods presented have been reclassified and are presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the company changed to a calendar-year basis of reporting financial results in connection with the spin-off.

| Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
| Introduction |
The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For purposes of reviewing this document, operating profit is calculated as revenues less cost of revenues excluding: corporate administrative and general expense; interest expense; interest income; domestic and foreign income taxes; other non-operating income and expense items; earnings or loss from discontinued operations; and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.
The company reports financial results on a calendar-year basis for all periods subsequent to December 31, 2000.
Accounting Pronouncements
Following is a discussion of the impact of recent accounting and financial reporting pronouncements that have been applied in the preparation of the companys consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. This information is provided to assist in an understanding of the impact such changes have had on the companys financial reporting.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). Under SFAS 144, a component of a business that is held for sale is reported in discontinued operations if (i) the operations and cash flows will be, or have been, eliminated from the ongoing operations of the company and, (ii) the company will not have any significant continuing involvement in such operations. In the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS 144 effective January 1, 2001.
In September 2001, the Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of certain non-core operations of the companys construction equipment and temporary staffing businesses. An active program to consummate such disposal was completed in 2003 with the disposition of the last remaining operation in the construction equipment business. The operating results for discontinued operations are discussed later in this Managements Discussion and Analysis.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. These statements were effective for the companys calendar year 2002. Under the new rules, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is subject to annual impairment tests. During 2003, the company completed its annual goodwill impairment tests in the first quarter and has determined that none of the goodwill is impaired. Application of the non-amortization provisions resulted in an increase in earnings from continuing operations of $3.4 million ($0.04 per diluted share) in 2002 and 2003 compared with 2001.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The Statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Application of this statement did not have a significant effect on the companys consolidated results of operations or financial position in 2003.
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45). FIN 45 expands on the accounting and disclosure requirements under existing accounting standards. It clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation. Disclosures required by the Interpretation are provided below in the Financial Position and Liquidity section of this Managements Discussion and Analysis and in the footnotes to the accompanying financial statements. The accounting requirements of the Interpretation are applicable to transactions entered into beginning January 1, 2003. Application of this Interpretation did not have a significant effect on the companys consolidated results of operations or financial position in 2003.
14
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46-R). FIN 46-R provides the principles to consider in determining when variable interest entities must be consolidated in the financial statements of the primary beneficiary. In general, a variable interest entity is an entity used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that are not required to provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities without additional subordinated financial support. FIN 46-R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity.
Certain of the companys engineering office facilities are leased through arrangements involving variable interest entities. Beginning in 2003, the company now consolidates these entities in its financial statements as prescribed by FIN 46-R. At December 31, 2003, the effect of this consolidation resulted in an increase of $100 million and $27 million in reported short-term and long-term debt, respectively, and an increase in Property, Plant and Equipment of $107 million. None of the terms of the leasing arrangements or the companys obligations as a lessee were impacted by this change in accounting. The cumulative impact of the difference in earnings, amounting to a charge of $10.4 million net of tax, relating to prior years was reported in the first quarter of 2003 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The company may also use variable interest entities from time to time to facilitate financing of various projects. There are no such financing entities in use at the present time.
Contracts that are executed jointly through partnerships and joint ventures are proportionally consolidated in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-01, Investor Balance Sheet and Income Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in Certain Partnerships and Other Ventures (EITF 00-01) and Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts (SOP 81-1) issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The company evaluates the applicability of FIN 46-R to partnerships and joint ventures at the inception of its participation to ensure its accounting is in accordance with the appropriate standards.
In April 2003 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 149, Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 149). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 149 did not have a material effect on the companys consolidated financial statements.
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. SFAS 150 did not have a material effect on the companys consolidated financial statements.
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
The companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The companys significant accounting policies are described in notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and accordingly, actual results in future periods could differ from these estimates. Significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements apply the following critical accounting policies.
Engineering and Construction Contracts. Engineering and construction contract revenues are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total
15
Claims arising from engineering and construction contracts have been made against the company by clients, and the company has made certain claims against clients for costs. The company recognizes certain significant claims for recovery of incurred costs when it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and when the amount of the claim can be reliably estimated. Unapproved change orders are accounted for in revenue and cost when it is probable that the costs will be recovered through a change in the contract price. In circumstances where recovery is considered probable but the revenues cannot be reliably estimated, costs attributable to change orders are deferred pending determination of the impact on contract price. Backlog in the engineering and construction industry is a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. Although backlog reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. Backlog is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, deferrals and revised project scope and costs, both upward and downward.
Engineering and Construction Partnerships and Joint Ventures. Certain contracts are executed jointly through partnerships and joint ventures with unrelated third parties. The company accounts for its interests in the operations of these ventures on a proportional consolidation basis. Under this method of accounting, the company consolidates its proportional share of venture revenues, costs and operating profits in the consolidated statement of earnings and generally uses the one-line equity method of accounting in the consolidated balance sheet. The most significant application of the proportional consolidation method is in the Power segment. This segment includes Duke/ Fluor Daniel and ICA Fluor Daniel.
The companys accounting for project specific joint venture or consortium arrangements is closely integrated with the accounting for the underlying engineering and construction project for which the joint venture was established. The company engages in project specific joint venture or consortium arrangements in the ordinary course of business to share risks and/or to secure specialty skills required for project execution. Frequently, these arrangements are characterized by a 50 percent or less ownership or participation interest that requires only a small initial investment. Execution of a project is generally the single business purpose of these joint venture arrangements. When the company is the primary contractor responsible for execution, the project is accounted for as part of normal operations and included in consolidated revenues using appropriate contract accounting principles.
Foreign Currency. The company generally limits its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in most of its engineering and construction contracts through provisions that require client payments in U.S. dollars or other currencies corresponding to the currency in which costs are incurred. As a result, the company generally does not need to hedge foreign currency cash flows for contract work performed. Under certain limited circumstances, such foreign currency payment provisions could be deemed embedded derivatives. As of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the company had no significant foreign currency arrangements that constitute embedded derivatives in any of its contracts. Managing foreign currency risk on projects requires estimates of future cash flows and judgments about the timing and distribution of expenditures of foreign currencies.
The company generally uses forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency transactions where contract provisions do not contain foreign currency provisions or the transaction is for a non-contract-related expenditure. The objective of this activity is to hedge the foreign exchange currency risk due to changes in
16
In connection with the Hamaca Crude Upgrader Project located in Jose, Venezuela, the company has incurred foreign currency exposures and related translation losses due to weakness in the Venezuelan Bolivar compared with the U.S. dollar. See additional discussion concerning the Hamaca project below under Results of Operations-Oil & Gas.
Deferred Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the companys financial statements or tax returns. At December 31, 2003 the company had deferred tax assets of $288.8 million which were partially offset by a valuation allowance of $63.7 million and further reduced by deferred tax liabilities of $40.5 million. The valuation allowance reduces certain deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. This allowance primarily relates to the deferred tax assets established for certain tax credit carryforwards, net operating and capital loss carryforwards for U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries, and certain project performance reserves. The company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the companys forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the companys effective tax rate on future earnings.
Retirement Benefits. The company accounts for its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions, as amended (SFAS 87). As permitted by SFAS 87, changes in retirement plan obligations and assets set aside to pay benefits are not recognized as they occur but are recognized over subsequent periods. Assumptions concerning discount rates, long-term rates of return on assets and rates of increase in compensation levels are determined based on the current economic environment in each host country at the end of each respective annual reporting period. The company evaluates the funded status of each of its retirement plans using these current assumptions and determines the appropriate funding level considering applicable regulatory requirements, tax deductibility, reporting considerations and other factors. Recent decreases in long-term interest rates have the effect of increasing plan liabilities and if expected returns on plan assets are not achieved, future funding obligations could increase substantially. Assuming no changes in current assumptions, the company expects to fund approximately $30 to $50 million for the calendar year 2004. If the discount rate were reduced by 25 basis points, plan liabilities would increase by approximately $25 million.
Results of Operations
| Summary of Overall Company Results |
Revenue declined 12 percent in 2003 compared with 2002 primarily due to declines in the Power and Oil & Gas segments. Earnings from continuing operations increased 4.7 percent to $2.23 per share in 2003 compared with $2.13 per share in 2002. The increase in earnings is primarily attributable to reduced corporate administrative and general expense and a lower tax rate on earnings from continuing operations. Lower segment operating profit, primarily in the Power segment, and lower net interest income partially offset these improvements. The company has experienced a significant decline in Power segment revenue and earnings as most projects in the segment were completed and not replaced by new awards. The decline in new awards in the Power segment over the last two years reflects a cyclical downward trend in the demand for new power plant construction. Partially offsetting this trend in Power is an increasing trend for new awards in the Oil & Gas and Government segments. The company believes that the global oil and gas industry is in the early stages of a long-term cycle of investment that will continue to develop over the next three to five years. In addition, the trend for new awards in the Government segment have increased due to awards for work in Iraq as well as the completion of two niche acquisitions that improves the companys service offering to both the Department of Defense and Department of State.
Revenue increased 11 percent in 2002 compared with 2001 primarily due to an increase in the Oil & Gas segment. Earnings from continuing operations increased 32 percent to $2.13 per share in 2002 compared with
17
The company had net earnings of $1.95 per share in 2003 compared with $2.05 in 2002 and $0.25 in 2001. Results in 2003 were negatively impacted by a loss from discontinued operations of $0.15 per share and a loss of $0.13 per share for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Results in 2002 and 2001 include losses from discontinued operations of $0.08 per share and $1.36 per share, respectively. The results of discontinued operations is further discussed below. The loss from the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle is discussed above under Accounting Pronouncements.
Following is a discussion of the operating performance of each business segment, corporate administrative and general expense and other items.
The company provides professional services on a global basis in the fields of engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance. During the first quarter of 2003, the company realigned certain operations to increase focus on the chemicals market. Projects in this market were formerly in the Energy & Chemicals segment and will now be executed and reported in the Industrial & Infrastructure segment. The Energy & Chemicals segment was renamed Oil & Gas and all prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.
The company is organized into five business segments: Oil & Gas, Industrial & Infrastructure, Government, Global Services and Power. The Oil & Gas segment provides engineering and construction professional services for upstream oil and gas production, downstream refining and certain petrochemical markets. The Industrial & Infrastructure segment provides engineering and construction professional services for manufacturing and life sciences facilities, commercial and institutional buildings, mining, chemicals, telecommunications and transportation projects and other facilities. The Government segment provides project management engineering, construction, and contingency response services to the United States government. The Global Services segment includes operations and maintenance, construction equipment, temporary staffing and global sourcing and procurement services. The Power segment provides professional services to engineer and construct power generation facilities. Services provided by the Power segment are conducted through two joint ventures; Duke/ Fluor Daniel, a 50 percent owned partnership with Duke Energy, and ICA Fluor Daniel, a 49 percent owned joint venture with Grupo ICA, a Mexican company. The results of segment operations as reported herein have been conformed to the organizational alignment discussed above for all periods presented.
Oil & Gas. Revenue in the Oil & Gas segment amounted to $2.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2003 representing a decrease of 24 percent over revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002. Revenue for the 2002 period increased 54 percent compared with the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in revenue during 2003 reflects the completion of several projects during the year and revenue recognition from projects awarded in 2003 did not fully replace the revenue on the completed projects. The revenue increase in 2002 compared with 2001 reflects the increase in work performed on projects in the full execution stage compared with revenue primarily from front-end studies and preliminary engineering in the 2001 period. Operating profit margin in the Oil & Gas segment increased in 2003 to 4.6 percent compared with 3.7 percent in 2002 due to the higher content of project completions combined with improved execution performance. Operating profit margin in 2002 was lower than the 4.5 percent that was achieved in 2001 due to the impact of projects moving to full execution from the higher margin front-end studies and preliminary engineering work performed in 2001.
A major ongoing project in the Oil & Gas segment in 2003 is the Hamaca Crude Upgrader Project (Hamaca) located in Jose, Venezuela. Hamaca is a $1.1 billion lump sum project (including $92 million of approved change orders) of Grupo Alvica (GA), a joint venture including Fluor Daniel (80 percent) and Inelectra C.A. (20 percent), to design and build a petroleum upgrader for a consortium of owners called Petrolera Ameriven (PA) including Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), ChevronTexaco and ConocoPhillips.
18
The joint venture is actively pursuing two cost and schedule relief issues that were referred to arbitration in December 2001: the first is responsibility for costs arising from the site labor agreement for 2000 called Acta Convenio and the second relates to modifications and extra work arising from differing site soil conditions. The hearings on the fundamental cost differences between the earlier 1998 labor agreement and the 2000 Acta Convenio were held in April 2003. The site soil conditions issue was the subject of hearings in November 2002. There are no monetary cross-claims by PA in the arbitration. Events in Venezuela including a national strike in early 2003 have had a significant impact on the progress of the project. In accordance with the contract, the joint venture is entitled to cost and schedule relief for the impact of the national strike. A change order relating to the national strike in the approximate amount of $340 million was submitted by GA. This action was followed by the filing of an arbitration claim relating to this issue in January 2004. A time schedule for the resolution of the claim will be established by the arbitration panel in the near future. Force majeure incidents occurring prior to the national strike also were the subject of arbitration hearings in October 2003.
The arbitration panel, by procedural order dated January 8, 2004, has ordered PA to refrain from taking any action to seek liquidated delay damages, making claim against or drawing down on a Letter of Credit, terminating the contract with GA, or making any demands pursuant to any guarantee provisions in the contract, pending completion of the site soil conditions issues. The award on the site soils conditions matter is anticipated in the near future. The client has conditionally accepted responsibility relating to the soil conditions and $28 million of incurred costs has been paid. The amount of the claim for site soil conditions is $159 million including the $28 million conditional payment. The company is accounting for the additional costs incurred for the soil conditions matter as additional revenue as payments are received. The amount of the claim for Acta Convenio is $210 million and no payments have been made by the client relating to this matter.
Incurred costs associated with Acta Convenio, soil conditions, the recent national strike and other claims are probable of being recovered and thus are being deferred. These costs will be recognized in revenue when a change order is approved or payment is received. As of December 31, 2003, incurred costs amounting to $179.6 million have been deferred. Substantial additional costs are expected to be incurred as the project progresses and resolution of outstanding issues concerning the total amount to be awarded and schedule extensions are yet to be determined. If costs relating to Acta Convenio, soil conditions, the recent national strike or other claims are determined to be not recoverable, the company could face reduced profits or losses on this project, along with lower levels of cash and additional borrowings. The project remains subject to future disruptions that could result in additional costs and claims.
New awards in the Oil & Gas segment were $3.7 billion in 2003 compared to $1.9 billion in 2002. New project awards in 2003 include the Tengizchevroil (TCO) project, a major oil and gas development in Kazakhstan. The TCO project was expected to be awarded in 2002 but was temporarily suspended due to funding considerations, which were resolved early in 2003. Also included in new awards in 2003 is the Sakhalin I program and construction management project led by ExxonMobil and a project for Lukoil, a major Russian oil company. New awards in the Oil & Gas segment were $1.9 billion in 2002, a decline of 13 percent over 2001. The 2002 decline was primarily due to the previously mentioned temporary suspension of the TCO project. The large size and uncertain timing of complex, international projects can create variability in the segments award pattern; consequently, future award trends are difficult to predict with certainty.
Backlog for the Oil & Gas segment increased to $3.4 billion at December 31, 2003 compared with $2.3 billion at December 31, 2002. This increase is due to the higher level of new awards in 2003 and the lower level of work performed on these new awards as they are in the early stages of project execution where activity is focused on engineering and project planning. Backlog declined to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2002 compared with $3.7 billion at December 31, 2001. The 2002 decline in backlog primarily is the result of the temporary suspension in 2002 of the TCO project that was awarded in early 2003 as discussed above.
Industrial & Infrastructure. The Industrial & Infrastructure segment had revenues of $2.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2003, an 8 percent increase compared with the previous year. This increase primarily reflects the higher volume of work performed on life sciences projects awarded in 2002 partially offset by lower volume of work performed on mining projects as a number of projects were completed in 2002
19
Operating profit for the segment was impacted in both 2003 and 2002 by provisions relating to projects awarded in previous years. In 2003 operating profit was negatively impacted by a pre-tax provision of $7.4 million relating to the write-down of an equity investment in a magnesium smelter project in Australia. The investment was committed in previous years as part of a consulting arrangement with the client where the company agreed to be compensated for its services in shares of the clients capital stock. Due to funding considerations, continued development of the project was suspended resulting in the client seeking bankruptcy protection. Because the company was not the execution contractor there was no impact on backlog or operating results from project execution.
A pre-tax $26 million dispute resolution provision in 2002 primarily relates to an unfavorable arbitration ruling on the Verde Gold project in Chile, a gold ore processing facility completed in 1996. During the second quarter of 2002, the company recognized a loss provision of $20 million representing the arbitration award plus applicable interest, less a $3 million reserve provided in prior years. The company anticipates recovering a portion of the award from available insurance and has recorded $6 million in expected insurance recoveries. The net impact on results of operations for 2002 was a charge of $14 million.
The 2003 operating profit margin in the Industrial & Infrastructure segment was essentially flat with 2002. These results are substantially below results achieved in 2001 primarily due to the provisions discussed above. In 2003 margins were also lower due to the increased volume of construction management work and lack of project margin on projects that were removed from backlog which are discussed below.
New awards in the Industrial & Infrastructure segment were $2.6 billion compared with $3.5 billion in 2002. New awards in 2002 included a substantial award for the SH 130 toll road project in Texas. In addition, new awards in 2003 were lower than 2002 and 2001 due to continuing economic weakness in the mining, telecommunications and manufacturing markets reflecting overcapacity and poor commodity pricing in these industries.
Backlog for the Industrial & Infrastructure segment declined to $3.3 billion compared with $4.2 billion at December 31, 2002. Contributing to this decline was the removal of $750 million for three projects that had been booked during the previous two years. One of these was a mining project that was removed due to considerations relating to ongoing financing. The other two were commercial projects that the company decided to not execute due to evolving changes in industry liability. The increase in backlog to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2002 compared with $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2001 reflects the strong increase particularly in life sciences and transportation awards in 2002.
Government. The Government segment had revenues of $1.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared with revenue of $1.0 billion in 2002. This 78 percent increase is primarily due to the substantial increase in work performed for the Department of Defense on the Midcourse Missile Defense test bed facilities in Alaska, the Department of State for an embassy project in Brazil and new awards for task orders in Iraq. Also contributing to the increase was revenue from Del-Jen which was acquired early in 2003. Government segment revenue in 2002 increased 17 percent over revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. The revenue increase in 2002 primarily reflects higher activity levels on projects being executed for the Department of Energy (DOE). Revenue in all periods includes work for ongoing environmental restoration, engineering, construction, site operations and maintenance services at two major DOE sites: the Fernald Environmental Management Project in Ohio and the Hanford Environmental Management Project in Washington.
Operating profit margin for the Government segment declined to 2.8 percent in 2003 compared with 3.1 percent in 2002. Contributing to this decline was the impact of a particularly high level of proposal activity during the year as the segment pursued a number of new opportunities. The operating profit margin of 3.1 percent in 2002 compares with 2.7 percent in 2001. This improvement is attributable to improved project execution and realization of performance incentives on the DOE contracts, activity on the Midcourse Missile Defense test bed facilities in Alaska and increased logistical support activities internationally. In addition, good performance on the Fernald contract led to a re-baselining of the project, which favorably impacted operating profit in 2003 and the last half of 2002. Many projects performed on behalf of U.S. government
20
In January 2003, the company acquired Del-Jen, Inc. (Del-Jen), a leading provider of services to the Departments of Defense and Labor. The acquisition will expand the companys ability to provide services in the government outsourcing market. Del-Jen was acquired for $33.3 million in cash of which $24 million was recognized as goodwill and $3.2 million was recognized as intangible assets.
In November 2003, the company acquired the International Division of J.A. Jones Construction Company (J.A. Jones), which provides design-build and construction services to the U.S. Government. This acquisition will further expand the companys portfolio of government business. The acquisition did not have a material impact on the companys consolidated financial statements.
Total assets in the Government segment increased to $475 million at December 31, 2003 compared with $128 million at December 31, 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Del-Jen with total assets of $60.4 million at December 31, 2003. In addition, the segment has unbilled fees totaling $39.3 million related to the Fernald project. The project has moved into the closeout stage and contract terms provide that a portion of the earned fees will not be billed until project completion in 2007. Deferred fees recognized in revenue in 2003 and 2002 were $21.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in segment assets was a significant increase in accounts receivable and contract work in progress relating to work performed in the Middle East.
Global Services. The Global Services segment had revenues of $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2003, up 15 percent compared with the year ended December 31, 2002. Revenue for 2002 was 6 percent lower than revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in revenue in 2003 is partially due to the acquisition of Plant Performance Services (P2S) at the end of the first quarter. The revenue decline in 2002 compared with 2001 primarily reflects the impact of increased selectivity to improve margins and depressed economic conditions resulting in lower operations and maintenance activity in the manufacturing sector.
Operating profit margin in the Global Services segment was 8.7 percent compared with 9.7 percent in 2002 and 4.9 percent in 2001. The reduced margin in 2003 is partially attributable to lower contribution from P2S and construction related services reflecting the lower volume in Power and Oil & Gas activities. The improvement in 2002 compared with the prior period is primarily attributable to the procurement services business which incurred substantial amounts of development and start-up expenses in 2001.
In March 2003, the company acquired five specialty operations and maintenance (O&M) business groups from Philip Services Corporation. The acquired businesses, which were named Plant Performance Services (P2S), will expand and strengthen the O&M services business component of the Global Services segment and complement the companys core engineering, procurement and construction business. The business groups were acquired for $21.2 million in cash which excluded working capital. During the period from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2003, approximately $44 million of working capital has been provided to the business to fund operations. As of December 31, 2003, the allocation of the purchase price has not been finalized pending valuation of assets acquired through independent appraisals.
New awards in the Global Services segment for operations and maintenance projects were $1.3 billion, an increase of 23 percent over 2002. This increase is primarily due to the contribution from P2S. The 17 percent decline in new awards in 2002 compared with 2001 is primarily attributable to increased selectivity and the depressed economic conditions in the manufacturing sector.
Backlog for the Global Services segment has been fairly stable at $1.8 billion at December 31, 2003 compared with $1.6 billion and $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This relative stability is due in part to the multi-year nature of operations and maintenance contracts where consistent and efficient performance results in long-term client relationships. The equipment, temporary staffing and global sourcing and procurement operations do not report backlog due to the short turnaround between the receipt of new awards and the recognition of revenue. Accordingly, new awards and backlog for the segment relate to the operations and maintenance activities only.
21
Power. The Power segment experienced a significant decline in revenue to $759 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared with $2.2 billion in 2002 and $2.5 billion in 2001. This decline is due to the substantial work-off of nearly all projects in backlog that were awarded in prior years. As mentioned previously, the segment has experienced a substantial reduction in new awards over the last two years as demand for new power generation has diminished following a strong cycle of power plant construction activity.
Operating profit margin in the Power segment was a very strong 10.2 percent for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared with 4.9 percent in 2002 and 3.0 percent in 2001. The strong performance in 2003 is attributable to highly successful execution resulting in early completion of projects. Projects in the Power segment are primarily bid and awarded on a fixed price basis. This method of contracting exposes the segment to the risk of cost overruns due to factors such as material cost and labor productivity variances or schedule delays.
On July 9, 2003, the company jointly announced with Duke Energy Corporation the decision to terminate the Duke/ Fluor Daniel partnership (D/ FD) as a result of the significant decline in the construction of new power plants. A joint plan among the partners is being developed to dissolve the business over the next two years. The dissolution is not expected to have a material impact on results of operations or financial position of the company. The company will continue to identify power generation opportunities and any prospective projects will be performed 100 percent by Fluor.
New awards in the Power segment were down substantially to $485 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared with $1.1 billion and $3.6 billion in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The majority of new awards in 2003 will be executed by Fluor or ICA/ Fluor Daniel. Backlog for the Power segment decreased to $605 million at December 31, 2003 compared with $841 million and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Most of the projects awarded in prior years have now been completed or will be completed in 2004. New award activity for the near term future is expected to be modest as existing capacity is expected to meet anticipated demand.
Corporate. Corporate administrative and general expenses totaled $141.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This compares with $160.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $167.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The improvement in 2003 compared with 2002 is primarily due to the absence of charges relating to the reevaluation of the companys enterprise resource management (ERM) system, recognition of a provision for a guarantee obligation and a provision to recognize impairment related to an investment in The Beacon Group Energy Investment Fund, L.P. that were recognized in 2002. Partially offsetting these charges in 2002 was recognition of a gain relating to the demutualization of an insurance company in which the company had an investment.
During 2002 significant cost reductions were realized as a result of the companys reevaluation of the scope of implementation and deployment of its ERM system (formerly known as Knowledge@Work). As part of this reevaluation effort the company altered the original ERM implementation plan and recognized a charge of $13.0 million in 2002 for abandonment of certain system functionality and to adjust depreciation expense. This charge partially offset the impact of the cost reductions realized upon changing the implementation and deployment plan.
Stock based compensation expense in 2002 was $25.3 million lower compared with 2001 primarily as a result of a significant increase in the trading price of the companys common stock during the first half of 2001. The impact of changes in the stock price in 2003 and 2002 did not have a significant impact on stock-based compensation expense as exercises, retirements and conversions have reduced the number of stock price sensitive units outstanding.
During 2002 overhead cost reductions were realized as a result of the early retirement of two former senior executives at the end of 2001 and the elimination of the Business Services and Other segment. This segment included the companys shared services operations. Shared services are grouped in corporate administrative and general expense for all periods presented.
Net interest income was $3.2 million and $6.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, compared with net interest expense of $0.9 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The reduction in net interest income in 2003 is the result of lower cash balances and increased short-term borrowings
22
The effective tax rates on the companys continuing operations were 33.0 percent, 34.8 percent and 31.1 percent, for the years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate in 2003 compared with 2002 is primarily due to the utilization of certain capital loss carryforwards coupled with reduced foreign losses without tax benefit. In addition, during 2003 the company had favorable tax return adjustments and settlements which were partially offset by an increase in valuation allowance to adjust net deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The tax rate in 2001 compared with 2002 was lower due to the tax benefits from tax settlements and the utilization of foreign net operating loss carryforwards.
Matters in Dispute Resolution. During 2003, several matters on certain completed and in progress projects were in the dispute resolution process. The following discussion provides a background and current status of these matters:
Murrin Murrin
Disputes between Fluor Australia (Fluor) and its client, Anaconda Nickel (Anaconda), over the Murrin Murrin Nickel Cobalt project located in Western Australia were partially resolved through arbitration during the third quarter of 2002. The first phase of the arbitration hearing was completed in May 2002 and a decision was rendered in September 2002 resulting in an award to Anaconda of A$147 million (subsequently amended to A$150 million [US$84.0 million]) and an award to Fluor of A$107 million [US$59.9 million] for amounts owing from Anaconda under the contract. The company has recovered the first phase award plus substantially all defense costs incurred from available insurance.
On July 28, 2003, the Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia granted Anacondas appeal of an issue that had been decided in favor of Fluor by the arbitration panel in the first phase. This decision sends the arbitration panels denial of Anacondas claim for the cost of a fifth autoclave train back to the panel for further reconsideration. Fluor has appealed the Supreme Courts decision to the State of Victoria Court of Appeal.
The second phase of the arbitration was heard in September 2003. A decision is expected in the third quarter of 2004. The company anticipates that any liability arising from proceedings under either the first or the second phase of arbitration, regardless of the outcome of the appeal, will be covered by available insurance.
| Fluor Daniel International and Fluor Arabia Ltd. V. General Electric Company, et al U.S.D.C., |
In October 1998, Fluor Daniel International and Fluor Arabia Ltd. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against General Electric Company and certain operating subsidiaries as well as Saudi American General Electric, a Saudi Arabian corporation. The complaint seeks damages in connection with the procurement, engineering and construction of the Rabigh Combined Cycle Power Plant in Saudi Arabia. Subsequent to a motion to compel arbitration of the matter the company initiated arbitration proceedings in New York under the American Arbitration Association international rules. The evidentiary phase of the arbitration has been concluded and a decision is expected in the second quarter of 2004.

Dearborn Industrial Project Duke/Fluor Daniel (D/FD) |
The Dearborn Industrial Project (the Project) started as a co-generation combined cycle power plant project in Dearborn, Michigan. The initial Turnkey Agreement, dated November 24, 1998, consisted of three phases. Commencing shortly after Notice to Proceed, the owner/operator, Dearborn Industrial Generation (DIG), issued substantial change orders enlarging the scope of the project.
The Project has been severely delayed with completion of Phase II. DIG has unilaterally taken over completion and operation of Phase II and is commissioning that portion of the plant. Shortly thereafter, DIG drew upon a $30 million letter of credit which D/ FD expects to recover upon resolution of the dispute. D/ FD
23
In December 2001, DIG filed a responsive pleading denying liability and simultaneously served a demand for arbitration to D/ FD claiming, among other things, that D/ FD is liable to DIG for alleged construction delays and defective engineering and construction work at the Dearborn plant. The court has ordered the matter to arbitration. The lien action remains stayed pending completion of the arbitration of D/ FDs claims against DIG and DIGs claims against D/ FD. An arbitration panel has been appointed and the arbitration will likely proceed in early 2005.
Butinge Nafta Oil Terminal
On March 10, 2000, Butinge Nafta (Nafta) commenced arbitration proceedings against Fluor Daniel Intercontinental (FDI) concerning a bulk oil storage terminal (the Facility) located in Lithuania alleging, among other issues, that FDI represented costs in excess of actual estimates. FDI engineered, procured and managed the construction of the Facility on a lump sum basis. On June 21, 2000, Fluor filed a separate arbitration against Nafta to recover delay/disruption damages caused by Nafta, as well as compensation for out of scope services. The first hearing on the merits of the case was conducted in late May 2001 with an additional hearing in June 2002. Final legal submissions and arguments were completed in September 2002. In June 2003, FDI was issued a favorable award on its claims and Naftas major claims against FDI were dismissed with prejudice resulting in a net award to Fluor of $4.6 million. The resolution of this matter did not have a material effect on results of operations.
Hamaca Crude Upgrader
See discussion regarding the Hamaca project above under Oil & Gas.
Strategic Reorganization Costs. In March 1999, the company reorganized its engineering and construction operations and recorded a special provision to cover direct and other reorganization related costs primarily for personnel, facilities and asset impairment adjustments. The plan was successfully implemented and carried out. As of December 31, 2003, the remaining unexpended reserve is $1.5 million and relates to non-U.S. personnel costs that will be paid as follows: 2004 $0.8 million; 2005 $0.3 million; 2006 $0.2 million; 2007 $0.1 million; thereafter $0.1 million.
Discontinued Operations. In September 2001, the Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of certain non-core operations of the companys construction equipment and non-EPC components of its temporary staffing businesses. An active program to consummate such disposal was initiated and is complete as of the end of 2003. Operating results for these non-core businesses have been reclassified and are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
During 2003 the last remaining dealership operation was sold generating proceeds of $31.9 million. In 2002, the sale of one dealership subsidiary resulted in cash proceeds of $45.9 million. Other dealership asset disposals during 2002 produced proceeds of $51 million. In December 2001, the company sold one dealership entity for cash equal to its carrying value generating proceeds of $25.7 million.
During the second quarter of 2002, the Australian operations of the temporary staffing operations of TRS were sold, resulting in cash proceeds of $5.1 million. The temporary staffing industry experienced severe competition in 2002 due to depressed economic conditions, which resulted in significant erosion in the fair value of the TRS businesses that were sold. As a result, the company recognized adjustments to the carrying value of TRSs U.S. and U.K. based disposal groups. The sales of the U.S. and U.K. operations were completed in the fourth quarter of 2002 resulting in proceeds of $2 million.
Disposal of AMECO operations in Argentina and Peru were finalized in 2002 resulting in proceeds of $5.1 million primarily from collection of accounts receivable and sales of inventory and equipment.
Interest expense was not reclassified to discontinued operations in connection with the non-core businesses because disposal of these operations did not include any debt to be assumed by the buyers.

Revenue and the results of operations, including loss on disposal, for all discontinued operations are as follows:

The loss on disposal in all periods presented above is for impairment provisions to adjust the carrying value of the assets held for sale of the various individual non-core businesses to fair value. Impairment provisions for the equipment operations included adjustments to the carrying value of equipment inventories, fixed assets and goodwill. Impairment provisions for the temporary staffing operations primarily included adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill.
Financial Position and Liquidity
Cash used in operating activities in 2003 was primarily due to the significant use of cash to fund project operations. This compares to substantial cash provided by operating activities in 2002 and 2001. Significant cash was used in 2003 and 2002 to fund projects in the Power segment resulting in a reduction in advances from affiliate of $212.8 million and $282.1 million, respectively. These advances represent the companys proportional share of excess cash from Duke/ Fluor Daniel that was generated from client advance payments received in 2001 and prior years upon award of projects. The joint venture partners manage excess cash of Duke/ Fluor Daniel through these proportional advances. Client advances on Duke/ Fluor Daniel projects is a normal condition of contracts in the power industry where most of the projects are negotiated on a fixed price basis. As these projects progress, the expenditures for labor and materials is partially funded from these advance payments. A substantial number of projects were completed in 2003 and 2002 and the advances used to fund these completed projects were not replaced with new advances due to the significant reduction in new awards in the Power segment. The work-off of projects in progress and the significant reduction in new power industry awards experienced in 2003 and 2002 is expected to continue in the near term future and will further reduce total advances available to the company.
The company also used significant cash in 2003 to fund on-going work and the change orders that are in the dispute resolution process relating to the Hamaca project in Venezuela. The company is incurring substantial costs relating to the change orders for which it is not currently being paid pending resolution through arbitration. As of December 31, 2003, the company has $179.6 million in deferred costs on this project, of which $124.6 million was funded during 2003. On-going work on Hamaca not associated with change orders used approximately $80 million of cash from advances received in prior years. Excluding the impact of the repayment of advances relating to power projects and the funding for the Hamaca project, cash

Cash used by operating activities is also impacted by contributions to the companys defined benefit retirement plans. Contributions in 2003 amounted to $52 million compared with $110 million and $68 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The large contributions in 2002 and 2001 were due in part to lower than expected investment results on plan assets experienced in those and the two prior years coupled with the business objective to utilize available resources to maintain full funding of accumulated benefits in most of its plans. One plan is not fully funded and in 2003 the minimum pension liability amounts to $28 million for this plan. The company recognized a minimum liability plus elimination of $12 million of prepaid pension assets in 2002 resulting in an after-tax charge of $29 million in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of Shareholders Equity.
During 2003 and 2002, the receipt of funds from insurance claims relating to the Murrin Murrin project amounted to $84.1 million and $35.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, amounts due from the insurance companies for claims submitted have been collected except for minor amounts of arbitration defense costs that are still in the payment process. Activities in 2002 associated with the disposal of certain discontinued equipment and temporary staffing businesses generated $24 million of cash from liquidation of operating assets and liabilities, primarily from accounts receivable and inventories.
Cash utilized by investing activities in 2003 included capital expenditures of $79.2 million for continuing operations and $54.5 million for the acquisition of Del-Jen, P2S and J.A. Jones International which were partially offset by $31.9 million in proceeds from the sale of the last discontinued equipment dealership operation. Cash provided by investing activities in 2002 was benefited by the sale and liquidation activities associated with discontinued operations. Sales of discontinued businesses generated $101 million in proceeds from the liquidation of property, plant and equipment and sales of dealership and temporary staffing businesses. Partially offsetting these proceeds was capital expenditures of $16 million primarily for the one remaining equipment dealership that was sold in 2003.
Capital expenditures for continuing operations primarily relate to the equipment operations in the Global Services segment that support engineering and construction projects. Capital expenditures were substantially lower in 2002 than in 2001 primarily as the result of substantial completion in 2001 of the SAP system component of the companys Enterprise Resource Management system. Capital expenditures in 2001 include expenditures for capital investments in construction equipment of $60 million for continuing operations and $52 million for discontinued operations. The decision to divest certain equipment operations substantially reduces the companys capital investment requirements. Capital expenditures in future periods will include equipment purchases for the equipment operations of the Global Services segment, facility renewal and refurbishment, and computer infrastructure in support of the companys substantial investment in automated systems.
As of December 31, 2003, primarily in response to a significant increase in funds required for project operations, the company borrowed $121.5 million in the commercial paper market. The company can borrow up to $300 million under unsecured committed revolving short- and long-term lines of credit with banks. These credit lines provide support for borrowings in the commercial paper market as needed for short-term liquidity to meet funding requirements for project operations. Liquidity is further provided by substantial customer advances on contracts in progress including the companys proportional share of excess cash that has been advanced to the company by Duke/ Fluor Daniel as well as the commercial paper borrowings. As customer advances and advances from Duke/ Fluor Daniel are used in project execution and not replaced by advances on new projects, the companys cash position will be reduced. Cash is also required and is being
26
As of December 31, 2003, the companys outstanding debt consists of the above mentioned commercial paper and the 5.625 percent Municipal bonds totaling $17.6 million. In addition, the company has debt associated with the lease financing on its facilities in Aliso Viejo and Calgary, as discussed above. The lease financing on the Aliso Viejo facility is due in December 2004 and is classified as a current liability as of December 31, 2003.
In February 2004, the company issued $330 million of 1.5 percent Convertible Senior Notes due 2024. Proceeds from the Notes were used to pay off all outstanding commercial paper and obtain ownership of the Aliso Viejo engineering and corporate offices through payoff of the lease financing.
For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, exchange rates for functional currencies for most of the companys international operations strengthened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation gains that are reflected in the cumulative translation component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized gains amounting to $45.1 million and $20.9 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively, relate to cash balances held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Because most of the cash held in foreign currencies will be used for project related expenditures in those currencies, the companys exposure to exchange gains and losses is considered nominal.
The company has a common stock buyback program, authorized by the Board of Directors, to purchase shares under certain market conditions. During 2003, the company purchased 94,000 shares for total consideration of $2.7 million. The company purchased 726,000 and 39,000 shares of its common stock for total consideration of $19.2 million and $1.4 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Cash dividends declared and paid in 2003, 2002 and 2001 were at the rate of $0.64 per share. The payment and level of future cash dividends will be subject to the discretion of the companys Board of Directors.
The company has sufficient sources of funds to meet its anticipated operating needs. Cash on hand and short-and long-term lines of credit give the company significant operating liquidity. For the next 12 months, cash generated from operations supplemented by borrowings under credit facilities and the issuance of debt securities are expected to be sufficient to fund operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The company maintains a variety of commercial commitments that are generally made available to provide support for various commercial provisions in its engineering and construction contracts. The company has $731 million in committed and uncommitted lines of credit to support letters of credit. In addition, the company has $120 million in uncommitted lines for general cash management purposes. Letters of credit are provided to clients in the ordinary course of business in lieu of retention or for performance and completion guarantees on engineering and construction contracts. At December 31, 2003, the company had utilized $355 million of its letter of credit capacity. The company also posts surety bonds primarily on state and local government projects to guarantee its performance on contracts.

Guarantees. In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing financial or performance assurances to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities. The guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the facilities being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential payment amount of an outstanding performance guarantee is the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts. The amount of guarantees outstanding measured on this basis totals $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2003. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated costs to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. 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 lump sum or fixed price contracts, the amount payable under a guarantee 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. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract the company may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims.
Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business on behalf of clients and others in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. Most arrangements require the borrower to pledge collateral in the form of property, plant and equipment which is deemed adequate to recover amounts the company might be required to pay. As of December 31, 2003, the company had extended financial guarantees on behalf of certain clients and other unrelated third parties totaling approximately $8 million. The remaining outstanding amount of a financial guarantee for $10 million of pollution control bonds related to zinc operations that were sold in 1987 has been recognized at the full amount of the underlying obligation. The obligation was recognized by a charge to earnings in 2002 due to the obligors bankruptcy filing and inability to meet the current obligation on the bonds without financial assistance from the company.
Although inflation and cost trends affect the company, its engineering and construction operations are generally protected by the ability to fix costs at the time of bidding or to recover cost increases in cost reimbursable contracts. The company has taken actions to reduce its dependence on external economic conditions; however, management is unable to predict with certainty the amount and mix of future business.
| Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Discussions about Market Risk |
The company invests excess cash in short-term securities that carry a floating money market rate of return. Debt instruments carry a fixed rate coupon on the $17.6 million in long-term debt. The company does not currently use derivatives, such as swaps, to alter the interest characteristics of its short-term securities or

In 2001, the company issued a warrant for the purchase of 460,000 shares, at $36.06 per share, of the companys common stock to a partner in the companys e-commerce procurement venture. Any compensation realized by the holder through exercise of the warrant will offset royalties otherwise payable under a five-year cooperation and services agreement.
| Item 8. | Financial Statements and Supplementary Data |
The information required by this Item is submitted as a separate section of this Form 10-K. See Item 15, below.
| Item 9. | Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure |
There have been no changes in, or disagreements with, accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.
| Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date). To maintain a cost-effective controls structure, management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can only provide reasonable assurance that our managements control objectives are met. In addition, the design of any system of control is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future events, no matter how remote.
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the company required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date. We have not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

FLUOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Major Accounting Policies
| Principles of Consolidation |
The financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries. The equity method of accounting is used for investment ownership ranging from 20 percent to 50 percent. Investment ownership of less than 20 percent is accounted for on the cost method. Certain contracts are executed jointly through partnerships and joint ventures with unrelated third parties. The company recognizes its proportional share of venture revenues, costs and operating profits in its consolidated statement of earnings and generally uses the one-line equity method of accounting in the consolidated balance sheet. The company evaluates the applicability of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46-R) (see Lease Obligations) to partnerships and joint ventures at the inception of its participation to ensure its accounting is in accordance with the appropriate standards.
As more fully described in the following Note, in September 2001, the company adopted a plan to dispose of certain non-core operations. As a result, certain non-core operations are presented as discontinued operations. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain amounts in 2001 and 2002 have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation.
| Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.
| Engineering and Construction Contracts |
The company recognizes engineering and construction contract revenues using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Customer-furnished materials, labor and equipment, and in certain cases subcontractor materials, labor and equipment, are included in revenues and cost of revenues when management believes that the company is responsible for the ultimate acceptability of the project. Contracts are segmented between types of services, such as engineering and construction, and accordingly, gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those separate services are rendered. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified as current assets under contract work in progress. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenues recognized to date are classified as current liabilities under advance billings on contracts. The company anticipates that substantially all incurred costs associated with contract work in progress at December 31, 2003 will be billed and collected in 2004. The company recognizes certain significant claims for recovery of incurred costs when it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and when the amount of the claim can be reliably estimated. Unapproved change orders are accounted for in revenue and cost when it is probable that the costs will be recovered through a change in the contract price. In circumstances where recovery is considered probable but the revenues cannot be reliably estimated, costs attributable to change orders are deferred pending determination of contract price.
| Depreciation and Amortization |
Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Assets are depreciated principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and improvements six to 50 years and machinery and equipment one to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases.
F-6
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142) effective for the companys calendar year 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the applicable reporting units based on the current reporting structure. During 2003, the company completed its annual goodwill impairment tests in the first quarter and has determined that none of the goodwill is impaired. Application of the non-amortization provisions resulted in an increase in earnings from continuing operations of $3.4 million ($0.04 per diluted share) in 2003 and 2002 compared with 2001.
| Income Taxes |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the companys financial statements or tax returns.
| Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing earnings from continuing operations, loss from discontinued operations, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities, consisting of employee stock options and restricted stock, equity forward contracts, and a warrant for the purchase of 460,000 shares.
For the period ended December 31, 2003, options to purchase 887,381 shares of common stock and 17,403 shares of unvested restricted stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because these securities are antidilutive. Antidilutive options and unvested restricted stock not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the period ended December 31, 2002 were 4,430,865 and 763,922, respectively, and 906,925 and 12,300, respectively for the period ended December 31, 2001.
The impact of dilutive securities on the companys EPS calculation is as follows:

| Advances From Affiliate |
Advances from affiliate relate to cash received by a joint venture entity from advance billings on contracts, which are made available to the partners. Such advances are classified as an operating liability of the company.
| Derivatives and Hedging |
The company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business. At December 31, 2003, the company had approximately $53 million of foreign exchange contracts outstanding relating to engineering and construction contract obligations. The company does not engage in currency speculation. The forward exchange contracts generally require the company to exchange U.S. dollars for foreign currencies at maturity, at rates agreed to at inception of the contracts. If the counterparties to the exchange contracts (AA or A+ rated banks) do not fulfill their
F-7
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
obligations to deliver the contracted currencies, the company could be at risk for any currency related fluctuations. The contracts are of varying duration, none of which extend beyond December 2006. The company formally documents its hedge relationships at inception, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. The company also formally assesses both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items. All existing fair value hedges are determined to be highly effective. As a result, the impact to earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness is immaterial for 2003, 2002 and 2001. The transition adjustment upon adoption was immaterial.
The company limits exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in most of its engineering and construction contracts through provisions that require client payments in U.S. dollars or other currencies corresponding to the currency in which costs are incurred. As a result, the company generally does not need to hedge foreign currency cash flows for contract work performed. Under certain limited circumstances, such foreign currency payment provisions could be deemed embedded derivatives under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS 133). As of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the company had no significant embedded derivatives in any of its contracts.
In April 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 149). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 149 did not have a material effect on the companys consolidated financial statements.
| Concentrations of Credit Risk |
The majority of accounts receivable and all contract work in progress are from clients in various industries and locations throughout the world. Most contracts require payments as the projects progress or in certain cases advance payments. The company generally does not require collateral, but in most cases can place liens against the property, plant or equipment constructed or terminate the contract if a material default occurs. The company maintains adequate reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have been minimal and within managements estimates.
| Stock Plans |
The company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the companys stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation cost for stock appreciation rights and performance equity units is recorded based on the quoted market price of the companys stock at the end of the period.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148). This statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) to require more prominent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The company adopted the provisions of SFAS 148 effective December 31, 2002.
Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost is recognized for the option plans where vesting provisions are based only on the passage of time. Had the company recorded compensation expense using the

accounting method recommended by SFAS 123, net earnings and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows:

| Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. The company reports the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and adjustments related to recognition of minimum pension liabilities as components of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At December 31, 2003, Accumulated other comprehensive loss included cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments of $8.6 million (net of deferred tax of $5.5 million) and adjustments related to recognition of minimum pension liabilities of $26.7 million (net of deferred taxes of $11.5 million).
Throughout 2003, exchange rates for functional currencies for most of the companys international operations strengthened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation gains that are reflected in the cumulative translation component of other comprehensive income. Most of these unrealized gains relate to cash balances held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Discontinued Operations
In September 2001, the Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of certain non-core elements of the companys construction equipment and temporary staffing operations. In June 2003, the company completed the sale of the last equipment dealership operation resulting in cash proceeds of $31.9 million, which approximated its carrying value. Prior to completion of the sale, the company recorded an additional after-tax impairment provision in the first quarter of 2003 of $13.5 million, which included adjustments to deferred taxes, to recognize further deterioration in its fair value due to continued severely depressed conditions in the equipment rental industry.
Results of operations for all periods presented have been reclassified and are presented as discontinued operations. Interest expense was not reclassified to discontinued operations in connection with the non-core businesses because it is not expected that disposal of those operations will include any debt to be assumed by the buyers.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The Statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Application of this statement did not have a significant effect on the companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Business Investments and Acquisitions
From time to time, the company enters into investment arrangements, including joint ventures, that are related to its engineering and construction business. During 2001 through 2003, the majority of these expenditures related to ongoing investments in an equity fund that focuses on energy related projects and a number of smaller, diversified ventures.
In 2002, the company adopted SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Application of this statement did not have a significant effect on the companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In the first quarter of 2003, the company completed two niche acquisitions to strengthen and expand existing business segments.
In January 2003, the company acquired Del-Jen, Inc. (Del-Jen), a leading provider of services to the Departments of Defense and Labor. The acquisition will expand the companys ability to provide services in the government outsourcing market and will be reported in the companys Government segment. Del-Jen was acquired for $33.3 million in cash. In connection with this acquisition, the company recorded goodwill of $24.0 million and intangible assets of $3.2 million. Goodwill is no longer amortized but is reviewed periodically for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142. The intangible assets are being amortized over useful lives ranging from three to seven years.
In March 2003, the company acquired five specialty operations and maintenance (O&M) business groups from Philip Services Corporation. The acquired businesses, which have been named Plant Performance Services (P2S), will expand and strengthen the O&M services business component of the Global Services segment and complement the companys core engineering, procurement, and construction business. The business groups were acquired for $21.2 million in cash. The seller retained the working capital for these businesses. During the period from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2003, approximately $44 million of working capital has been provided to the business to fund normal operations. The company has obtained independent appraisals and is in the process of completing its determination of the fair values of the acquired assets. As of December 31, 2003, the allocation of the purchase price has not been finalized pending valuation of assets acquired.
In November 2003, the company acquired the International Division of J.A. Jones Construction Company (J.A. Jones), which provides design-build and construction services to the U.S. Government. This acquisition will further expand the companys portfolio of government business. J.A. Jones has been renamed J.A. Jones International (A Fluor Company) and is reported in the Government segment. The acquisition did not have a material impact on the companys consolidated financial statements.
The companys consolidated financial statements include the operating results of these businesses from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions were not material on either an individual or aggregate basis to the companys consolidated results of operations.
In February 2004, the company acquired Trend Western Technical Corporation, a provider of logistics and operations services to military bases in the United States and Guam. The acquisition will further expand the service offering and the international reach of Del-Jen. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the companys consolidated results of operations for 2004.

Strategic Reorganization Costs
In March 1999, the company reorganized its engineering and construction operations and recorded a special provision to cover direct and other reorganization related costs primarily for personnel, facilities and asset impairment adjustments. The plan was successfully implemented and carried out. As of December 31, 2003, the remaining unexpended reserve is $1.5 million and relates to non-U.S. personnel costs that will be paid as follows: 2004 $0.8 million; 2005 $0.3 million; 2006 $0.2 million; 2007 $0.1 million; thereafter $0.1 million.

The company has U.S. and non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $42 million and $20 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003. The utilization of the U.S. losses are subject to certain limitations. Of the $42 million U.S. losses, $36 million will expire in the years 2020 and 2021 while the remaining $6 million will expire in the years 2004 and 2005. The non-U.S. losses largely relate to the companys operations in Australia, and can be carried forward indefinitely until fully utilized.
The company has U.S. and non-U.S. capital loss carryforwards of approximately $18 million and $12 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003. The U.S. capital loss will expire in 2006 whereas the non-U.S. losses may be carried forward indefinitely.
The company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $39 million, of which $6 million will expire in 2004, $27 million in 2006, and $6 million in 2007. The company also has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $8 million, which will never expire.
The company maintains a valuation allowance to reduce certain deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. This allowance primarily relates to the deferred tax assets established for

Retirement Benefits
The company sponsors contributory and non-contributory defined contribution retirement and defined benefit pension plans for eligible employees. Contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are based on a percentage of the employees compensation. Expense recognized for these plans of approximately $72 million, $68 million and $37 million in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, is primarily related to domestic engineering and construction operations. Contributions to defined benefit pension plans are generally at the minimum annual amount required by applicable regulations. During 2003, the company contributed $31 million and $21 million, respectively, to the domestic defined benefit cash balance plan and to non-U.S. pension plans in order to maintain full funding of benefits accumulated under the plan. Payments to retired employees under these plans are generally based upon length of service, age and/or a percentage of qualifying compensation. The defined benefit pension plans are primarily related to domestic and international engineering and construction salaried employees and U.S. craft employees.
In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised December 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (SFAS 132-R). This statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 132 to require more details about retirement plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows and other relevant information. SFAS 132-R is effective for years ending after December 15, 2003, except certain benefit payment and international plan disclosures that are effective for fiscal years after June 15, 2004. New disclosures relating to international plans are included in the accompanying information. The adoption of the disclosure provisions of SFAS 132-R did not have a material effect on the companys consolidated financial statements.

Plan assets include zero shares of the companys common stock.
Assumptions concerning discount rates, long-term rates of return on assets and rates of increase in compensation levels are determined based on the current economic environment in each host country at the end of each respective annual reporting period. The company evaluates the funded status of each of its retirement plans using these current assumptions and determines the appropriate funding level considering applicable regulatory requirements, tax deductibility, reporting considerations and other factors. Recent decreases in long-term interest rates have the effect of increasing plan liabilities and if expected returns on plan assets are not achieved, future funding obligations could increase substantially. Assuming no changes in
F-17
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
current assumptions, the company expects to fund approximately $30 to $50 million for the calendar year 2004. If the discount rate were reduced by 25 basis points, plan liabilities would increase by approximately $25 million.
The investment of assets in defined benefit plans is based on the expected long-term capital market outlook. Asset return assumptions utilizing historical returns, correlations and investment manager forecasts are set forth for each major asset category including public domestic, international and global equities, private equities, government, corporate and emerging market debt. Investment allocations are determined by each Plans Investment Committee and/or Trustees. Long-term allocation guidelines are set and expressed in terms of a target and target range allocation for each asset class to provide portfolio management flexibility. The asset allocation is diversified to maintain risk at a reasonable level without sacrificing return. Factors including the future growth in the number of plan participants and forecasted benefit obligations, inflation and the rate of salary increases are also considered in developing asset allocations and target return assumptions. In the case of certain foreign plans, asset allocations may be governed by local requirements. While most of the companys plans are not prohibited from investing in the capital stock of Fluor Corporation, there are no such directed investments at the present time.

In addition to the companys defined benefit pension plans, the company and certain of its subsidiaries provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. The health care and life insurance plans are generally contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually. Service costs are accrued currently. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was determined in accordance with the current terms of the companys health care plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates projected at annual rates ranging from 10 percent in 2004 down to 5 percent in 2009 and beyond. The effect of a one percent annual increase in these assumed cost trend rates would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the aggregate of the annual service and interest costs by approximately $1.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The effect of a one percent annual decrease in these assumed cost trend rates would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the aggregate of the annual service and interest costs by approximately $1.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) was signed into law. The impact of the Act is not reflected in any amounts disclosed in the financial statements or accompanying notes. The company is currently reviewing the effects the Act will have on its plans and expect to complete that review during 2004. In addition, the company is waiting for guidance from the United States Department of Health and Human Services on how the employer subsidy provision will be administered and from the FASB on how the impact of the Act should be recognized in the financial statements.
The preceding information does not include amounts related to benefit plans applicable to employees associated with certain contracts with the U.S. Department of Energy because the company is not responsible for the current or future funded status of these plans.

Fair values were determined as follows:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term notes receivable, commercial paper, loan notes and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Long-term investments are based on quoted market prices for these or similar instruments. Long-term notes receivable are estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings.
The fair value of long-term debt, including current portion, is estimated based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the company for debt of the same maturities.
Other noncurrent financial liabilities consist primarily of deferred payments, for which cost approximates fair value.
Foreign currency contracts are estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers.
Letters of credit and lines of credit amounts are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or settle the obligations.
Financing Arrangements
The company has unsecured committed revolving short- and long-term lines of credit with banks from which it may borrow for general corporate purposes up to a maximum of $300 million. Commitment and facility fees are paid on these lines. At December 31, 2003, the company utilized $121 million of its committed lines to support commercial paper. This debt bears interest at market rates for commercial paper instruments. The committed lines may also be used for borrowings which bear interest at prime rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), domestic certificates of deposit or other rates which are mutually acceptable to the banks and the company.
F-21
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The company has $731 million in committed and uncommitted lines of credit to support letters of credit. At December 31, 2003, $355 million of these lines of credit were used to support undrawn letters of credit. In addition, the company has $120 million in uncommitted lines for general cash management purposes.
During the last quarter of 2003, the company issued commercial paper at a discount with a weighted average effective interest rate of 1.10 percent.

Certain of the companys engineering office facilities, located in Aliso Viejo, California and Calgary, Canada, are leased through arrangements involving variable interest entities. Beginning in 2003, the company consolidated these entities in its financial statements as prescribed by FIN 46-R.
At December 31, 2003, short-term and long-term debt included $100 million and $27 million, respectively, related to the consolidation of the Aliso Viejo and Calgary entities, respectively. The debt for these entities provides for interest only payments at interest rates based on a reference rate (LIBOR for the Aliso Viejo facility and Canadian bankers acceptance for the Calgary facility) plus a margin. Maturity on the debt coincides with the term of the leases, which expire in 2004 for facilities in Aliso Viejo and 2006 for facilities in Calgary. Rent payments are equal to the debt service on the underlying financing.
The municipal bonds are due June 1, 2019 with interest payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 1999. The bonds are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the company at a redemption price ranging from 100 percent to 102 percent of the principal amount of the bonds on or after June 1, 2009. In addition, the bonds are subject to other redemption clauses, at the option of the holder, should certain events occur, as defined in the offering prospectus.
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. SFAS 150 did not have a material effect on the companys consolidated financial statements.
On February 17, 2004, the company issued $300 million in convertible senior notes due February 15, 2024 and received $294 million, net of underwriting discounts. The notes bear interest at a rate of 1.50 percent with interest payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. On or after February 15, 2005, the notes are convertible, subject to adjustment in certain events, into approximately 5.9 million shares of the companys common stock at an initial conversion price of $55.94 per share. Upon conversion, the
F-22
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
company has the right to deliver, in lieu of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of the companys stock.
Holders of notes may require the company to purchase all of a portion of their notes on February 15, 2009, February 15, 2014 and February 15, 2019 at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The company will pay the first put on February 15, 2009 in cash and subsequent puts in cash, stock or a combination thereof at its option. Subsequent to February 16, 2009, the notes are redeemable at the option of the company, in whole or in part, at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of a change of control of Fluor, each holder may require the company to repurchase the notes for cash, in whole or in part, at 100 percent of the principle amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Subsequent to receipt of proceeds from the issuance of the convertible senior notes the company repaid all outstanding commercial paper.
On February 17, 2004, the underwriters of the convertible senior notes exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional $30 million in principal amount of notes. On February 19, 2004, the company received proceeds of $29.4 million, net of underwriting discounts.
On February 27, 2004, the company exercised its option to purchase the Aliso Viejo engineering and office facilities using proceeds received from the issuance of the convertible senior notes.
Other Noncurrent Liabilities
The company maintains appropriate levels of insurance for business risks. Insurance coverages contain various deductible amounts for which the company provides accruals based on the aggregate of the liability for reported claims and an actuarially determined estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. Other noncurrent liabilities include $35 million and $55 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, relating to these liabilities.
The company has deferred compensation and retirement arrangements for certain key executives which generally provide for payments upon retirement, death or termination of employment. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, $236 million and $202 million were accrued under these plans and included in noncurrent liabilities.
At December 31, 2003 and 2002, $28 million and $29 million, respectively, were included in noncurrent liabilities relating to the minimum pension liability for a non-U.S. plan.
Stock Plans
The companys executive stock plans provide for grants of nonqualified or incentive stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights (SARS). All executive stock plans are administered by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Committee) comprised of outside directors, none of whom are eligible to participate in the plans. Option grant prices are determined by the Committee and are established at the fair value of the companys common stock at the date of grant. Options and SARS normally extend for 10 years and become exercisable over a vesting period determined by the Committee, which can include accelerated vesting for achievement of performance or stock price objectives.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the company issued 1,085,950 nonqualified stock options and 51,500 SARS with annual vesting of 25%. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the company issued 736,660 nonqualified stock options and 34,300 SARS with annual vesting of 25%. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the company issued 1,040,298 nonqualified stock options and 48,750 SARS with annual vesting of 25%.
F-23
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Restricted stock awards issued under the plans provide that shares awarded may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions have lapsed or performance objectives have been attained as established by the Committee. Upon termination of employment, shares upon which restrictions have not lapsed must be returned to the company. Restricted stock granted under the plans totaled 1,079,813 shares, 245,110 shares and 17,504 shares in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock granted during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $29, $30 and $45 per share, respectively. Recorded compensation cost, net of tax, for restricted stock plans totaled $7 million, $4 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
For purposes of calculating the proforma stock-based compensation expense as presented in the table on page F-9, the following weighted-average assumptions were used for new grants:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
At December 31, 2003, there are 4,510,924 shares available for future grant. Available for grant includes shares which may be granted as either stock options or restricted stock, as determined by the Committee under the companys various stock plans.
At December 31, 2003, there are 4,446,022 options outstanding with exercise prices between $17 and $45, with a weighted-average exercise price of $32 and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 3.1 years; 2,693,830 of these options are exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $32. Of the options outstanding, 1,283,531 have exercise prices between $17 and $26, with a weighted-average exercise price of $25 and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 5.2 years; 1,280,054 of these options are exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $25. The remaining 3,162,491 outstanding options have exercise prices between $27 and $45, with a weighted-average exercise price of $31 and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 5.8 years; 1,413,776 of these options are exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $39.
Lease Obligations
Net rental expense for continuing operations amounted to approximately $90 million, $83 million and $76 million in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The companys lease obligations relate primarily to office facilities, equipment used in connection with long-term construction contracts and other personal property.
During 2001, the company entered into a sale/leaseback arrangement for its engineering center in Sugar Land, Texas. The net proceeds from the sale were $127 million resulting in a $6 million gain on sale that was deferred and will be amortized over the initial lease term of 20 years. The lease contains four options to renew for five years each at the then-applicable fair market rent and the right of first offer to purchase the facility in the event the landlord desires to sell its interests. The lease has been accounted for as an operating lease and the rent payments are included in the below schedule of minimum rental obligations.
In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46-R). FIN 46-R provides the principles to consider in determining when variable interest entities must be consolidated in the financial statements of the primary beneficiary. In general, a variable interest entity is an entity used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that are not required to provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities without additional subordinated financial support. FIN 46-R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity.
The company also has operating leases for its corporate headquarters and engineering center in Aliso Viejo, California and an office in Calgary, Canada. The entities that own the facilities have debt issued by banks that is secured by leases of the facilities. The leases provide for the company to pay rent that is sufficient to provide debt service and a return to the equity interests. The leases contain residual value guarantees totaling $105 million. . If the company defaults on the lease payments or were to fail to meet its obligations under the residual value guarantee, the lenders to and owners of the entities could proceed with recourse actions against the company to enforce payment. The company has no ownership interest in the companies that own the facilities but is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the variable interests of these entities and has consolidated these interests in the companys financial statements in 2003 under the requirements of FIN 46-R. At December 31, 2003, the effect of this consolidation resulted in an increase of $100 million and $27 million in reported short-term and long-term debt, respectively, and an increase in Property, Plant and Equipment of $107 million. None of the terms of the leasing arrangements or the companys obligations as a lessee were impacted by this change in accounting. The cumulative impact of the difference in earnings,
F-25
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
amounting to a charge of $10.4 million net of tax, relating to prior years was reported in the first quarter of 2003 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
On February 27, 2004, the company exercised its option to purchase the Aliso Viejo engineering and office facilities for the balance of debt outstanding using proceeds received from the issuance of convertible senior notes. At December 31, 2003, the companys balance sheet included $100 million of outstanding short-term debt and buildings with a net book value of $82 million in connection with the Aliso Viejo facility.
The companys obligations for minimum rentals under non-cancelable leases are as follows:

Contingencies and Commitments
The company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The company and certain of its subsidiaries are contingently liable for commitments and performance guarantees arising in the ordinary course of business. Clients have made claims arising from engineering and construction contracts against the company, and the company has made certain claims against clients for costs incurred in excess of the current contract provisions. Recognized claims against clients amounted to $16 million at both December 31, 2003 and 2002. Amounts ultimately realized from claims could differ materially from the balances included in the financial statements. The company does not expect that claim recoveries will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
As of December 31, 2003, several matters on certain completed and in progress projects are in the dispute resolution process. The following discussion provides a background and current status of these matters:
Murrin Murrin
Disputes between Fluor Australia (Fluor) and its client, Anaconda Nickel (Anaconda), over the Murrin Murrin Nickel Cobalt project located in Western Australia were partially resolved through arbitration during the third quarter of 2002. The first phase of the arbitration hearing was completed in May 2002 and a decision was rendered in September 2002 resulting in an award to Anaconda of A$147 million (subsequently amended to A$150 million [US$84.0 million]) and an award to Fluor of A$107 million [US$59.9 million] for amounts owing from Anaconda under the contract. The company has recovered the first phase award plus substantially all defense costs incurred from available insurance.
On July 28, 2003, the Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia granted Anacondas appeal of an issue that had been decided in favor of Fluor by the arbitration panel in the first phase. This decision sends the arbitration panels denial of Anacondas claim for the cost of a fifth autoclave train back to the panel for further reconsideration. Fluor has appealed the Supreme Courts decision to the State of Victoria Court of Appeal.
The second phase of the arbitration was heard in September 2003. A decision is expected in the third quarter of 2004. The company anticipates that any liability arising from proceedings under either the first or the second phase of arbitration, regardless of the outcome of the appeal, will be covered by available insurance.

Fluor Daniel International and Fluor Arabia Ltd. v. General Electric Company, et al
In October 1998, Fluor Daniel International and Fluor Arabia Ltd. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against General Electric Company and certain operating subsidiaries as well as Saudi American General Electric, a Saudi Arabian corporation. The complaint seeks damages in connection with the procurement, engineering and construction of the Rabigh Combined Cycle Power Plant in Saudi Arabia. Subsequent to a motion to compel arbitration of the matter the company initiated arbitration proceedings in New York under the American Arbitration Association international rules. The evidentiary phase of the arbitration has been concluded and a decision is expected in the second quarter of 2004.
Dearborn Industrial Project
The Dearborn Industrial Project (the Project) started as a co-generation combined cycle power plant project in Dearborn, Michigan. The initial Turnkey Agreement, dated November 24, 1998, consisted of three phases. Commencing shortly after Notice to Proceed, the owner/operator, Dearborn Industrial Generation (DIG), issued substantial change orders enlarging the scope of the project.
The Project has been severely delayed with completion of Phase II. DIG has unilaterally taken over completion and operation of Phase II and is commissioning that portion of the plant. Shortly thereafter, DIG drew upon a $30 million letter of credit which D/ FD expects to recover upon resolution of the dispute. D/ FD retains lien rights (in fee) against the project. In October 2001, suit was commenced in Michigan State Court to foreclose on the lien interest.
On December 12, 2001, DIG filed a responsive pleading denying liability and simultaneously served a demand for arbitration to D/ FD claiming, among other things, that D/ FD is liable to DIG for alleged construction delays and defective engineering and construction work at the Dearborn plant. The court has ordered the matter to arbitration. The lien action remains stayed pending completion of the arbitration of D/ FDs claims against DIG and DIGs claims against D/ FD. An arbitration panel has been appointed and the arbitration will likely proceed in early 2005.
Butinge Nafta Oil Terminal
On March 10, 2000, Butinge Nafta (Nafta) commenced arbitration proceedings against Fluor Daniel Intercontinental (FDI) concerning a bulk oil storage terminal (the Facility) located in Lithuania alleging, among other issues, that FDI represented costs in excess of actual estimates. FDI engineered, procured and managed the construction of the Facility on a lump sum basis. On June 21, 2000, Fluor filed a separate arbitration against Nafta to recover delay/disruption damages caused by Nafta, as well as compensation for out of scope services. The first hearing on the merits of the case was conducted in late May 2001 with an additional hearing in June 2002. Final legal submissions and arguments were completed in September 2002. In June 2003, FDI was issued a favorable award on its claims and Naftas major claims against FDI were dismissed with prejudice resulting in a net award to Fluor of $4.6 million. The resolution of this matter did not have a material effect on results of operations.
Hamaca Crude Upgrader
The Hamaca Crude Upgrader Project (Hamaca) located in Jose, Venezuela. Hamaca is a $1.1 billion lump sum project (including $92 million of approved change orders) of Grupo Alvica (GA), a joint venture including Fluor Daniel (80 percent) and Inelectra C.A. (20 percent), to design and build a petroleum
F-27
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
upgrader for a consortium of owners called Petrolera Ameriven (PA) including Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), ChevronTexaco and ConocoPhillips.
The joint venture is actively pursuing two cost and schedule relief issues that were referred to arbitration in December 2001: the first is responsibility for costs arising from the site labor agreement for 2000 called Acta Convenio and the second relates to modifications and extra work arising from differing site soil conditions. The hearings on the fundamental cost differences between the earlier 1998 labor agreement and the 2000 Acta Convenio were held in April 2003. The site soil conditions issue was the subject of hearings in November 2002. There are no monetary cross-claims by PA in the arbitration. Events in Venezuela including a national strike in early 2003 have had a significant impact on the progress of the project. In accordance with the contract, the joint venture is entitled to cost and schedule relief for the impact of the national strike. A change order relating to the national strike in the approximate amount of $340 million was submitted by GA. This action was followed by the filing of an arbitration claim relating to this issue in January 2004. A time schedule for the resolution of the claim will be established by the arbitration panel in the near future. Force majeure incidents occurring prior to the national strike also were the subject of arbitration hearings in October 2003.
The arbitration panel, by procedural order dated January 8, 2004, has ordered PA to refrain from taking any action to seek liquidated delay damages, making claim against or drawing down on a Letter of Credit, terminating the contract with GA, or making any demands pursuant to any guarantee provisions in the contract, pending completion of the site soil conditions issues. The award on the site soils conditions matter is anticipated in the near future. The client has conditionally accepted responsibility relating to the soil conditions and $28 million of incurred costs has been paid. The amount of the claim for site soil conditions is $159 million including the $28 million conditional payment. The company is accounting for the additional costs incurred for the soil conditions matter as additional revenue as payments are received. The amount of the claim for Acta Convenio is $210 million and no payments have been made by the client relating to this matter.
Incurred costs associated with Acta Convenio, soil conditions, the recent national strike and other claims are probable of being recovered and thus are being deferred. These costs will be recognized in revenue when a change order is approved or payment is received. As of December 31, 2003, incurred costs amounting to $179.6 million have been deferred. Substantial additional costs are expected to be incurred as the project progresses and resolution of outstanding issues concerning the total amount to be awarded and schedule extensions are yet to be determined. If costs relating to Acta Convenio, soil conditions, the recent national strike or other claims are determined to be not recoverable, the company could face reduced profits or losses on this project, along with lower levels of cash and additional borrowings. The project remains subject to future disruptions that could result in additional costs and claims.
Following is a discussion of other litigation matters:
Asbestos Matters
The company is a defendant in various lawsuits wherein plaintiffs allege exposure to asbestos fibers and dust due to work that the company may have performed at various locations. The company has substantial third party insurance coverage to cover a significant portion of existing and any potential costs, settlements or judgments. No material provision has been made for any present or future claims and the company does not believe that the outcome of any actions will have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The company has resolved a number of cases to date, which in the aggregate have not had a material adverse impact.
F-28
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Securities Class Action Litigation
Plaintiffs in three separate lawsuits are alleging that certain Fluor officers and directors violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by providing false or misleading statements about the companys business and prospects. These complaints purport to be class action complaints brought on behalf of purchasers of the companys stock during the period from May 22, 1996 through February 18, 1997. The companys initial motion to dismiss the action was granted by the court with leave to amend. The plaintiffs filed their amended complaint and the company moved the court to dismiss the new amended complaint. The Court granted the companys motion and dismissed plaintiffs action without leave to amend on July 10, 2002. Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has remanded the motion to the trial court with instructions to allow plaintiff an additional chance to plead additional claims.
None of the dispute resolution or litigation matters are expected to have a material effect on consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Guarantees
In November 2002 the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN-45). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. FIN 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of periods ending after December 15, 2002. Additionally, the recognition of a guarantors obligation should be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. The adoption of the disclosure and recognition provisions of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing financial or performance assurances to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities. The guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the facilities being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential payment amount of an outstanding performance guarantee is the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts. The amount of guarantees outstanding measured on this basis totals $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2003. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated costs to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. 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 lump sum or fixed price contracts, this 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. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract the company may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims.
Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business on behalf of clients and others in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. Most arrangements require the borrower to pledge collateral in the form of property, plant and equipment which is deemed adequate to recover amounts the company might be required to pay. As of December 31, 2003, the company had extended financial guarantees on behalf of certain clients and other unrelated third parties totaling approximately $8 million. A financial guarantee for $10 million of pollution control bonds related to zinc operations that were sold in 1987 has been recognized at the full amount of the underlying obligation. The obligation was
F-29
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
recognized by a charge to earnings in 2002 due to the obligors bankruptcy filing and inability to meet the current obligation on the bonds without financial assistance from the company.
Other Matters
In 2001, the company issued a warrant for the purchase of 460,000 shares at $36.06 per share of the companys common stock to a partner in the companys e-commerce procurement venture. Any compensation realized by the holder through exercise of the warrant will offset royalties otherwise payable under a five-year cooperation and services agreement.
The companys operations are subject to and affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding the protection of the environment. The company maintains reserves for potential future environmental costs where such obligations are either known or considered probable, and can be reasonably estimated.
The company believes, based upon present information available to it, that its reserves with respect to future environmental costs are adequate and such future costs will not have a material effect on the companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the imposition of more stringent requirements under environmental laws or regulations, new developments or changes regarding site cleanup costs or the allocation of such costs among potentially responsible parties, or a determination that the company is potentially responsible for the release of hazardous substances at sites other than those currently identified, could result in additional expenditures, or the provision of additional reserves in expectation of such expenditures.
Operations by Business Segment and Geographical Area
The company provides professional services on a global basis in the fields of engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance. During the first quarter of 2003, the company realigned certain operations to increase focus on the chemicals market. Projects in this market were formerly in the Energy & Chemicals segment and will now be executed and reported in the Industrial & Infrastructure segment. The Energy & Chemicals segment was renamed Oil & Gas and all prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.
Following the realignment, operations are now organized in five industry segments: Oil & Gas, Industrial & Infrastructure, Government, Global Services and Power. The Oil & Gas segment provides engineering and construction professional services for upstream oil and gas production, downstream refining, and certain petrochemicals markets. The Industrial & Infrastructure segment provides engineering and construction professional services for manufacturing and life sciences facilities, commercial and institutional buildings, mining, chemicals, telecommunications and transportation projects and other facilities. The Government segment provides project management, engineering, construction, and contingency response services to the United States government. The Global Services segment includes operations and maintenance, equipment and temporary staffing services and the companys global sourcing and procurement services business. The Power segment provides professional services to engineer, construct and maintain power generation facilities. Services provided by the Power segment are primarily conducted through two jointly owned groups; Duke/ Fluor Daniel, 50 percent owned partnerships with Duke Energy, and ICA Fluor Daniel, 49 percent jointly owned companies with Grupo ICA, a Mexican company.
On July 9, 2003, the company jointly announced with Duke Energy Corporation the decision to terminate the Duke/ Fluor Daniel partnership relationship as a result of the significant decline in the construction of new power plants. A joint plan among the partners is being developed to dissolve the business over the next two years. The dissolution is not expected to have a material impact on results of operations or financial position of the company. The company will continue to identify power generation opportunities and any prospective projects will be performed 100 percent by Fluor.
F-30
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
All segments except Global Services and Government provide design, engineering, procurement and construction services on a world-wide basis to an extensive range of industrial, commercial, utility, natural resources and energy clients. Services provided by these segments include: feasibility studies, conceptual design, detail engineering, procurement, project and construction management and construction.
The Global Services segment provides a variety of services including: equipment services and outsourcing for construction and industrial needs; repair, renovation, replacement, predictive and preventative services to commercial and industrial facilities; and productivity consulting services and maintenance management to the manufacturing and process industries. In addition, Global Services provides temporary staffing specializing in technical, professional and administrative personnel for projects in all segments.
The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies as those described in the summary of major accounting policies. Management evaluates a segments performance based upon operating profit. Intersegment revenues are insignificant. The company incurs costs and expenses and holds certain assets at the corporate level which relate to its business as a whole. Certain of these amounts have been charged to the companys business segments by various methods, largely on the basis of usage.
Engineering services for international projects are often performed within the United States or a country other than where the project is located. Revenues associated with these services have been classified within the geographic area where the work was performed.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fluor Corporation at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows, and shareholders equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

Section 1.02 Principal Office. The principal office for the transaction of the business of the Corporation shall be at One Enterprise Drive, Aliso Viejo, California 92656. The Board of Directors (hereinafter called the "Board") is hereby granted full power and authority to change said principal office from one location to another. Section 1.03 Other Offices. The Corporation may also have an office or offices at such other place or places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board may from time to time determine or as the business of the Corporation may require. ARTICLE II MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS Section 2.01 Annual Meetings. Annual meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other proper business as may come before such meetings may be held at such time, date and place as the Board shall determine by resolution. Section 2.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board or by a committee of the Board which has been duly created by the Board and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board or in the Bylaws of the Corporation, include the power to call such meetings, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons; provided, however, that if and to the extent that any special meeting of stockholders may be called by any other person or persons specified in any provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment thereto or any certificate filed under Section 151(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or its successor statute as in effect from time to time hereafter), then 1
such special meeting may also be called by the person or persons, in the manner, at the times and for the purposes so specified. Section 2.03 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, as may from time to time be designated by the person or persons calling the respective meeting and specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof. Section 2.04 Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations. (A) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (a) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.04 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 5. (2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this Section 2.04, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and any such proposed business other than the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty days before or more than seventy days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation). In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (and such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material 2
interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (iii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination, and (iv) a representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (a) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (b) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder's proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. (3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 2.04 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least one hundred days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this Section 2.04 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation. (B) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (2) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.04 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.04. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, if the stockholder's notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 2.04 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 3
close of business on the one hundred twentieth day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above. (C) General. (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty (a) to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04 (including whether the stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such stockholder's nominee or proposal in compliance with such stockholder's representation as required by clause (A)(2)(c)(iv) of this Section 2.04) and (b) if any proposed nomination or business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 2.04, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. (2) For purposes of this Section 2.04, "public announcement" shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.04. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to affect any rights (a) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (b) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the certificate of incorporation. Section 2.05 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or the Bylaws, notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering a notice thereof to him or her personally, or by depositing such notice in the United States mail, in a postage prepaid 4
envelope, directed to him or her at his or her post office address furnished by him or her to the Secretary of the Corporation for such purpose or, if he or she shall not have furnished to the Secretary his or her address for such purposes or if otherwise consented to by such stockholder, then at his or her post office address last known to the Secretary, or by transmitting a notice thereof to him or her at such address by means of electronic transmission. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, no publication of any notice of a meeting of the stockholders shall be required. Every notice of a meeting of the stockholders shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall not be required to be given to any stockholder who shall have waived such notice and such notice shall be deemed waived by any stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy, except a stockholder who shall attend such meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. Section 2.06 Quorum. Except in the case of any meeting for the election of directors summarily ordered as provided by law, the holders of record of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to be voted thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat or, in the absence therefrom of all the stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as secretary of, such meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. Section 2.07 Voting. (a) Except as otherwise provided by or pursuant to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder shall, at each meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to vote in person or by proxy each share or fractional share of the stock of the Corporation having voting rights on the matter in question and which shall have been held by him or her and registered in his or her name on the books of the Corporation: (i) on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.05 of the Bylaws as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, or (ii) if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then (a) at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting shall be given or (b) if notice of the meeting shall be waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which meeting shall be held. 5
(b) Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity. Persons holding stock of the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote such stock. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation such person has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or such person's proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon. Stock having voting power standing of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, shall be voted in accordance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. (c) Any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder entitled thereto in person or by his or her proxy or by his or her attorney thereunto authorized and delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless said proxy shall provide for a longer period. The attendance at any meeting by a stockholder who may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of revoking the same unless he or she shall in writing so notify the secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, these by-laws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the corporation or its securities, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. The vote at any meeting of the stockholders on any question need not be by ballot, unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting. On a vote by ballot each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his or her proxy, if there be such proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted. Section 2.08 List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, as required by applicable law. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders. Section 2.09 Inspectors of Election. The corporation may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate 6
inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors' count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election ARTICLE III BOARD OF DIRECTORS Section 3.01 General Powers. The property, business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by the Board. Section 3.02 Number. The authorized number of Directors of the Corporation shall be eleven and such authorized number shall not be changed except by a Bylaw or amendment thereof duly adopted by the stockholders in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation or by the Board amending this Section 3.02.

The directors shall be elected by the stockholders of the Corporation, and at each election the persons receiving the greatest number of votes, up to the number of directors then to be elected, shall be the persons then elected.

Section 3.04 Mandatory Retirement. The Chairman of the Board and the President and any former Chairman of the Board and any former President, if serving as a director of the Corporation at age 72, shall retire from the Board at the end of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. Each other employee or former employee of the Corporation or its subsidiaries serving as a director of the Corporation at age 65 shall retire from the Board at the end of the calendar year in which his or her 65th birthday occurs unless the Chairman of the Board recommends and the Board approves his or her continued service as a non-employee director. Each other employee of the Corporation or its subsidiaries under age 65 serving as a director of the Corporation who elects to take early retirement or who for any other reason is no longer an officer of the Corporation or its subsidiaries shall retire from the Board as of the date he or she ceases to be an officer unless the Chairman of the Board recommends and the Board 7
approves his or her continued directorship. Each non-employee director of the Corporation serving at age 72 shall retire from the Board at the end of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. For purposes of this Section, "end of the calendar year" shall include the period ending with the seventh day of January next following. Section 3.05 Resignations. Any director of the Corporation may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board or to the Secretary of the Corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, or, if the time be not specified, it shall take effect immediately upon its receipt; and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Section 3.06 Vacancies. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any vacancy in the Board, whether because of death, resignation, disqualification, an increase in the number of directors, or any other cause, shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board. Any director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until such director's successor shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Section 3.07 Place of Meeting, etc. The Board may hold any of its meetings at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware and at such times as the Board may from time to time determine. Directors may participate in any regular or special meeting of the Board by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment pursuant to which all persons participating in the meeting of the Board can hear each other, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Section 3.08 First Meeting. The Board shall meet as soon as practicable after each annual election of directors and notice of such first meeting shall not be required. Section 3.09 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board may be held at such times as the Board shall from time to time by resolution determine. If any day fixed for a meeting shall be a legal holiday at the place where the meeting is to be held, then the meeting shall be held at the same hour and place on the next succeeding business day not a legal holiday. Except as provided by law, notice of regular meetings need not be given. Section 3.10 Special Meetings.

The company recognizes that the complexities of personal and company interests may occasionally result in situations where employees feel compelled to excuse themselves from a particular transaction because of inability to preclude the appearance of bias or the occurrence of personal gain at the expense of the company. To facilitate the avoidance of such circumstances and to protect both employees and the company, all potential personal conflicts and all opportunities that relate to Fluor's business must be disclosed in writing upon initial employment with the company, at the time of the recertification of this policy, and at any other time in the course of employment when potential conflict situations or opportunities that relate to Fluor's business arise. 3.
