Operating income was $136 million compared to $148 million in the prior year fourth quarter.

Hydrocarbons revenue and income was $989 million and $99 million, down 7% and 14%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.

2011 was another solid year for KBR with consistent execution and operating performance across our businesses. This resulted in strong cash generation of $650 million from operations and a year-end cash balance of almost a billion dollars,” said Bill Utt, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of KBR.The strong balance sheet, execution momentum, and a robust prospect portfolio aligns KBR for continued success in 2012 and beyond.”
