Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 13, 2022, KBR, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a change in the fiscal year end from a calendar year ending on December 31 to a 52 – 53 week year ending on the Friday closest to December 31, effective beginning with fiscal year 2023. In a 52 week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods will comprise 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53 week fiscal year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. The Company’s first 53 week fiscal year will occur in fiscal year 2024. The Company is making the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and will not adjust operating results for prior periods. The Company believes this change will improve comparability between periods by eliminating the year-over-year variability in calendar month productive days and provide a more consistent reporting cadence for operational leaders to aid in strategic decision making.

Since the Company’s fiscal year end is changing from the last day of the month to a 52 – 53 week fiscal year commencing within seven days of the prior fiscal year end, and the new fiscal year will commence with the end of the prior fiscal year, the change is not deemed a change in fiscal year for purposes of reporting subject to Rule 13a-10 or 15d-10. Accordingly, a transition report is not required to be filed.

The reporting period and applicable report for the remainder of fiscal year 2022 are not changing and are presented in the table below for confirmation purposes. The reporting periods and applicable reports for fiscal year 2023 are expected to be as follows:
