Brennan
As Fluor Corp.’s financial results continue to be a corporate and overseer focus, the publicly traded contractor said July 24 it has elevated veteran executive乔·布伦南（Joe Brennan）to be chief financial officer.
At the firm since 1991, he was senior vice president and served as operations controller since June. Brennan replacesMichael Steuert,who returned to Fluor last year from seven years of retirement and will remain as a senior adviser through year’s end. Brennan also was segment controller in Fluor’s energy and chemicals unit and former general manager of its Southern California operations.
Fluor disclosed this year still ongoing probes by the U.S. Justice Dept. and the Securities and Exchange Commission of charges in 2019 for fixed-price federal projects. Those probes have delayed year-end and 2020 quarterly results filings.
Executive Chairman Alan Boeckmann said in a February results call that the firm did not believe that there are “material errors," which it said has been the intent of its internal investigation.
“We believe Steuert thought Fluor was a quicker fix,” said Jamie Cook, Credit Suisse managing director and industry-sector stock analyst, in a July 24 research note. She adds that the pandemic may have complicated the firm’s usual move to name an external candidate as CFO.
Fluor首席执行官Carlos Hernandez说：“尽管我们的时机没有保证，但该公司预计将在9月30日之前提交其2019年10-K财务更新。
The firm announced on July 23 the award of a front-end engineering and design contract for a California Resources Corp. carbon capture and sequestration project at the 550-MW Elk Hills natural gas power plant in the state. That follows the award in May of a FEED contract for Project Tundra at the Milton R. Young coal-fired plant in North Dakota, set to be the world’s largest carbon-capture facility. Both will use Fluor’s proprietary technology and are funded by the U.S. Energy Dept. Contract amounts were not disclosed.
Analysts remain concerned about impacts on Fluor results from stressed oil and gas markets and possible virus-linked work stoppages.
