Fluor Posts Mixed 2025 Results Amid NuScale Monetization and EPC Award Confidence
Event summary
- Fluor reported a GAAP net loss of $51M for 2025, despite $15.5B in revenue and $504M in adjusted EBITDA.
- Fourth-quarter results included a $1.6B net loss due to a $2B reduction in NuScale investment valuation.
- New awards totaled $12B for the year, with 87% reimbursable contracts.
- Fluor repurchased $754M in shares and received $605M from NuScale monetization in 2025.
- 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance set at $525M–$585M, reflecting delayed awards and execution pace.
The big picture
Fluor’s mixed 2025 results reflect industry cyclicality and one-off impacts like the Santos ruling and NuScale valuation. The company’s confidence in EPC awards aligns with broader infrastructure spending trends, but execution risks and delayed awards pose near-term challenges. With $2.2B in cash and monetization proceeds, Fluor’s capital allocation strategy will be critical for sustaining growth.
