Our 2024 reporting theme, Platform for Growth, reflects the outcomes of the
first phase of our building a better future strategy. The fix and build focus,
spanning 2021 through 2024, served to repair the capital structure and build quality
backlog. Now, with a strengthened foundation and proven strategic priorities,
we are poised to drive sustainable growth through the next chapter of our journey,
grow and execute . During this phase, we will focus on growing the business and
delivering projects with certainty over the next four years.
Building a better world remains our purpose. We
care deeply about safety and seek to drive quality
and efficiency in all that we do. We behave ethically
and responsibly for a brighter future.
Our clients seek our project expertise in some of the
world s most challenging and complex environments
because we know how to deliver collaboratively and
with the best-in-class talent. We operate throughout
the project lifecycle, from conceptual design,
engineering, procurement and construction to
the operations and maintenance of facilities.
Our talented people are at the core of Fluor s more
than a century-long legacy, enabling us to deliver
impactful projects of scale and significance. Our
nearly 27,000 colleagues in more than 40 countries
worldwide provide professional and technical
solutions from the earliest concept to ongoing
facility support. Together, we continue to create
stronger partnerships and deliver smarter, more
efficient solutions for our clients.
This is Fluor we are

Chairman and CEO Reflections
PLATFORM
FOR GROWTH
David E. Constable
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear stakeholder,
2024 represented a strong year
for Fluor in terms of operational
performance, high-quality backlog
and cash flow generation. We
continued to diversify our business
across sectors while positioning for
future projects through high-value,
front-end work. More importantly,
we closed out the first phase of our
building a better future strategy
by meeting and in most cases,
exceeding our targets.

Fluor Corporation
Our strategy delivered strong results over the
past four years; we are now moving from a fix
and build to a grow and execute phase. By
maintaining a laser focus on project delivery,
we will strengthen our platform for growth.
CREATING A PLATFORM
FOR GROWTH
When we introduced our building a better
future strategy in January 2021, Fluor was at
a turning point. Facing uncertainty, we were
determined to rebuild a stronger company
by reinforcing financial discipline, lowering
our risk profile, being selective with our
project pursuits and rebuilding trust with
our clients, shareholders and employees.
The first phase of our strategy, fix and
build , spanned 2021 through 2024, and has
served our stakeholders well. I am proud
of the tremendous progress we made
in strengthening the company s capital
structure and building quality backlog.
We also continue to deliver complex
projects for our clients by utilizing our
technical expertise, leveraging our global
presence and fostering enduring and trusted
relationships. Through our collective actions,
we have established a leadership position
in professional and technical solutions
and maintained our global position in
engineering and construction.
The infographic below highlights our
strategic priorities and how we have met
or exceeded the goals we set four years ago.
