Why Read This Primer

KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root) has a rich history of more than 100 years in the energy industry. In 2014, KBR began a strategic shift, and the "new" KBR as we stand today emerged in 2020. In this report, we examine the strategies which have driven this shift, with a specific focus on the Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) segment.

We see STS as a significant growth vector for KBR driven by the Energy Trilemma. We will introduce each of STS' differentiated product and solution lines and outline the market drivers for each.

KBR does many amazing things and is helping solve some of the world's toughest challenges, including climate change, energy security and energy transition. Recent growth in STS has created more interest and attention around this segment specifically. This Primer Supplement is meant to complement the Primer Webinar.

In 2014, when Stuart Bradie joined as CEO, Construction made up 75% of KBR activity, while Technology and Government Services combined only made up 25%

In 2020, KBR went through a strategic shift and reorganized into two business segments: GS and STS. KBR also formally exited commoditized services (including construction) and announced the strategic shift away from lump sum turnkey- type contracts and the related high-risk,capital-intensive requirements. The company continued investment in high-end,sustainability-focused proprietary technologies. Today STS continues to grow and is approximately 40% of the company's profits.

Sustainability Vision

Sustainability is at the heart of KBR's mission and strategy.

KBR received the coveted AAA designation in MSCI's 2023 ESG Ratings. The AAA rating is MSCI's highest and is given to companies that are leading their industries in managing the most significant ESG risks and opportunities

We strive to create a safer, more secure and sustainable world by bringing together the best and brightest to deliver technology and solutions that help our customers accomplish their most critical missions and objectives.

More and more, sustainability is becoming a critical issue across society. In response, a growing number of countries and companies are targeting carbon neutrality and/or net-zero carbon emissions. KBR is uniquely positioned to bring differentiated, sustainability-focused technologies and solutions to bear across all sectors, helping those countries and companies achieve both their business and ESG goals.

KBR believes that each one of us has a responsibility to do the right thing and make decisions that count to safeguard our people, our customers, our planet, and the communities where we live and work. Our primary goal when it comes to our people, customers and partners is to ensure everyone returns home safely at the end of each day. That commitment is the foundation of our Zero Harm culture. We expanded that culture to include our sustainability platform which comprises ten key pillars.

At KBR, we believe that a commitment to sustainability includes using our capabilities and expertise to help our customers accomplish their sustainability goals, thus creating value for all our stakeholders. It is the people of KBR that are advancing this strategy, including more than 10,000 STS employees located across three major global hubs in India, the U.K. and the U.S. Our technical expertise is recognized internally through our ONE KBR Technical Fellows Program and externally through industry-leading technical journals.

Sustainability is a pillar of our corporate culture, and we believe in walking the talk. As such, we have been carbon neutral since 2019. In 2020, we committed to the UN Global Compact. Going forward we have set targets to become operationally net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.

KBR's commitment to sustainability includes engaging with our communities and the next generation of talent. KBR created ONE OCEAN, a program with the mission to educate and encourage young people to investigate and develop creative and practical solutions to environmental issues. The program also addresses circularity and biomimicry among other innovative sustainability approaches.

Energy Trilemma

STS has had double-digit growth in adjusted EBITDA the last four years in a row. STS adjusted EBITDA increased 50% year over year from 2022 to 2023. One of the most impactful macro drivers of this growth is the "Energy Trilemma."

The Energy Trilemma is the three-pronged global challenge of energy security, environmental sustainability and energy equity.

Environmental sustainability means minimizing environmental harm, such as reducing emissions that contribute to climate change. Due to increasing societal (i.e., net-zerotargets) and governmental pressures to reduce carbon emissions, companies and governments are transitioning from fossil fuel generation to more renewable sources.

Environmental Sustainability

The Energy

Trilemma

Energy security means ensuring reliability of energy sources. Geopolitical turmoil, including the conflict in Ukraine, have disrupted the world energy supply. As the world is rebalancing, countries are focused on ensuring an adequate, affordable, sufficient supply of energy to meet global needs. International supply chains will be reevaluated and de-risked.

Energy Equity

Energy

Security

Energy equity means making energy affordable for consumers. Affordability is the most dominant and pressing issue because solving for energy security and energy sustainability requires investment, which is then passed onto the consumers. This underscores the importance of using advanced technology to lower total cost of production while doing so in a cleaner manner.

The trilemma represents our current global energy crisis and its three-pronged challenge: delivering more energy, clean energy, and affordable energy. KBR's leadership in decarbonization and energy transition solutions has been in high demand in recent years as more companies and governments are earnestly looking to transition to more sustainable forms of energy and to create sustainable energy economies.

The Energy Trilemma is driving significant new investment in the recently under-invested energy sector as governments and companies are trying to progress on all three core elements. This investment includes a balance across grey (traditional fossil fuels), blue (fossil fuel with carbon capture) and green (renewable) energy sources.

Organization and Offerings

STS develops and offers proprietary technologies directly responsive to the energy trilemma challenge, and offers a full range of technology services to bring sustainable solutions into reality.

The Sustainable Technologies PSL is composed of KBR's leading global portfolio of proprietary process technologies. KBR's technologies are intellectual property (a mix of patents, trade secrets, and know-how) related to critical aspects of the design, fabrication, installation and operations necessary to chemically process or transform different feedstocks into desired end products. For example, in an ammonia plant, our technology is used to transform nitrogen and hydrogen (the feedstocks) into ammonia (the end product). KBR has more than 80 technologies in our portfolio, for which some of the IP is owned by KBR and some is owned by our alliance partners.

Through our Sustainable Solutions PSL, we provide best-in-class program management and serve as trusted advisor to corporations and governments. Through our differentiated services, we support our clients with sustainability strategies across energy transition topics (e.g., carbon capture utilization and storage, hydrogen infrastructure strategy and planning, renewable energy and fuels, decarbonization and asset optimization, etc.). We also offer integrated services, which provide solutions including engineering solutions, project management consultancy (PMC), and procurement and construction management (PCm).

All of our STS offerings are digitally enabled through advances such as model-based engineering, artificial intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics, digital twins and real-time industrial process monitoring. KBR's partnerships with leading cloud hyper-scalers help us combine our deep industry expertise with advanced Internet of Things (IoT), cloud services and technology infrastructure to deliver the greatest value for our customers. Our digital solutions drive efficiency, improve reliability and safety, reduce opex and capex, and enhance security.
