4. Chairman’s Letter
TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:
In fiscal 2010, URS performed well, while continuing to position the Company for
growth as the economy recovers. The strategic diversification of our business
and our competitive position in the markets we serve enabled us to deliver strong
financial results, despite the ongoing economic challenges. Our federal and
infrastructure businesses continued to grow, and we are encouraged by signs of
improvement in our power and industrial and commercial businesses. As a result
of our solid performance and ability to generate high levels of cash, we made
strategic investments to expand the Company’s operations in growing interna-
tional markets.
Financially and competitively, URS remains strong. For diversification to succeed throughout the business cycle.
the 2010 fiscal year, we reported revenues of $9.2 billion and For more than a decade, we have focused on broadening

of
Opportunity
Today’s global economy offers companies like URS significant opportunities.
Developed nations around the world face the need to upgrade and rehabilitate
their infrastructure, public buildings, industrial facilities and power systems,
while developing regions are under increased pressure to build new facilities in
order to compete in the global marketplace. URS has built a diversified business
in our four key markets, and we have expanded our geographic presence, particularly
in rapidly growing economies outside of the United States.

most talented professionals in the industry, URS has the skills and resources
to complete the most challenging projects in the infrastructure, federal, power,

GREENCOAT PLACE
HISTORY
URS’ London office is located
at Greencoat Place, which
23
25 was constructed between
22 1883 and 1885 by J. Bull.
It was originally used as a
warehouse by the Army and
Navy stores (a UK depart-
ment store group). Damaged
during World War II, the
structure was rebuilt in
stages, which is reflected in
its more modern façade and
mix of architectural styles.
