KBR reaffirms FY2026 guidance as STS backlog hits record $5.5B and MTS spin-off branded 'Trinzic' targets January 2027 completion.

KBR's Q2 FY2026 results demonstrate a business in controlled transition: Sustainable Technology Solutions delivered a 1.5x book-to-bill and record backlog of $5.5 billion, validating durable demand in energy transition and industrial technology markets, while Mission Technology Solutions absorbed EUCOM contingency runoff and carries $10.6 billion of awarded work currently under protest that does not yet appear in reported backlog. The planned spin-off of MTS — now branded Trinzic — is targeting January 4, 2027, with leadership named and separation workstreams advanced. Full-year guidance is reaffirmed across all four metrics, and the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 13.0% for the quarter, reflecting favorable portfolio mix and disciplined cost management despite $33 million in one-time spin-off costs.
