THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CB&I (NYSE: CBI) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2014. Adjusted net income for 2014 was $568.7 million, or $5.21 per diluted share, excluding integration related costs of $25.1 million net of tax, or $0.23 per diluted share. For the year, GAAP net income was $543.6 million, or $4.98 per diluted share. CB&I's consolidated 2014 revenue was $13.0 billion, up from $11.1 billion, a 17 percent increase from the prior year. New awards for the year totaled $16.3 billion, which resulted in a backlog of $30.4 billion.

For the fourth quarter, CB&I's adjusted net income was $161.3 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, excluding acquisition and integration related costs of $10.9 million net of tax, or $0.10 per diluted share. GAAP net income for the quarter was $150.4 million, or $1.37 per diluted share. Revenue for the fourth quarter was $3.4 billion with new awards of $3.3 billion. Cash from operating activities for the fourth quarter was $613.3 million, resulting in $264.0 million for the year.

"We are pleased to deliver another year of strong safety, operational and financial performance. Our new awards and backlog are at record levels, and our prospect list for 2015 supports our outlook for sustained earnings growth," said Philip K. Asherman, CB&I's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite the uncertainty generated by lower oil prices, our customers continue to rely on us to deliver solutions for their major capital projects. Over the last two years we made great progress in reducing costs and generating efficiencies across the organization, and believe our cost discipline coupled with the benefits of our diversified integrated offerings will allow us to maintain our performance and provide solid returns for our shareholders."

New awards of $16.3 billion for the year highlight the breadth and reach of our offerings across our end markets. Awards included strong bookings in the United States such as the engineering and construction of a three train LNG export terminal; two combined cycle gas turbine power projects; an ammonia storage tank; pipe fabrication for a propane dehydrogenation unit; nuclear and petrochemical facility maintenance work; as well as various decommissioning and decontamination, environmental remediation and government services awards. Globally, we booked noteworthy awards for engineering and procurement for a clean fuels project; structural, mechanical and piping construction for an LNG project; construction of petroleum storage tanks; licensing for a grassroots ethylene plant; engineered products for refining, petrochemicals and gas processing facilities; strategic technology licenses; and  numerous additional steel plate storage and fabrication awards.

Commenting on CB&I's outlook for 2015, Mr. Asherman stated, "We project less than 5 percent of our revenue from new bookings could be affected by timing risks associated with lower oil prices. Accordingly, we think it is prudent to marginally adjust our guidance to revenue of $14.4 billion - $15.2 billion and earnings per share of $5.55 - $6.05."

Earnings Conference Call

CB&I will host a webcast on Feb. 24 at 4:00 p.m. Central time (5:00 p.m. Eastern time) to discuss financial and operating results, and answer questions from investors. The webcast will be available on the Investor Relations page of www.cbi.com.
