THE WOODLANDS, Texas, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CB&I (NYSE:CBI) today announced first quarter 2016 net income of $107 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $132 million, or $1.21 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per share increased 5 percent in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to pro forma results for the comparable quarter in 2015, which exclude net income from the former nuclear construction business of $28 million, or $0.25 per diluted share. First quarter 2016 revenue of $2.7 billion compares to $3.1 billion in the first quarter of 2015, which included $488 million in revenue from the former nuclear business. On a pro forma basis, revenue increased slightly compared to 2015 first quarter results. New awards for the first quarter were $1.2 billion with a backlog of $21.2 billion.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter was $142 million, representing an increase of $432 million compared to the first quarter in 2015. Net operating cash flows combined with advance payments associated with equity-method joint ventures, which are reflected in cash flows from financing activities, totaled approximately $257 million during the first quarter 2016. At quarter end, cash and cash equivalents were $641 million, an increase of $294 million from the quarter-end balance for the first quarter 2015 and over $90 million from the year-end balance for 2015. In addition, during the quarter, total debt was reduced by $120 million from the year-end balance for 2015.

"Our cash generation in the first quarter reflects our ability to deliver on our capital allocation priorities of reducing leverage, returning capital to shareholders and investing in our business. Despite market uncertainty slowing the pace of new awards in the quarter, we maintained a healthy backlog and solid margins," said Philip K. Asherman, CB&I's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Earnings lagged this quarter due to underperformance from our Fabrication Services group and a continuing softness in the technology licensing market worldwide. However, as previously communicated, we expect our new awards, revenue and earnings to progressively improve during the year, and we remain on track to perform within our guided ranges for 2016."

New awards for the first quarter include scope increases for an LNG mechanical erection and instrumentation project in Australia, refinery maintenance work in the United States and Canada, crude oil storage in the Middle East and Canada, petrochemical licensing in the Asia Pacific region, catalyst awards in the Middle East, environmental remediation work for the U.S. Navy, and a variety of technology and fabrication awards globally.

The tables below include reconciliations of GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results for 2015, which exclude results of the former nuclear construction business and the impact of the sale.

    (1) The summary unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the removal of the results of our
        nuclear power construction business sold on December 31, 2015, and reflects the removal of the
        related disposition charges incurred as a result of the sale, as quantified below. The information
        presented in the tables above is for illustrative purposes only. The exclusion of our nuclear power
        construction business and the $1,160,480 and $345,371 of charges related to the disposition of our
        nuclear operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2015,
        respectively, are non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe provides users a better indication
        of our operating performance. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Supplemental Pro Forma Segment
        Information to GAAP Information" table.
