chairMan’S StateMent

Projects were 33%, six points lower than 2011, principally 
due to increased bad debt provisions, mobilisation costs 
on our Mozambique contract and the reduction in 
revenues from our US Military contracts. Underlying 
trading margins in our Local business increased by one 
point to 17%, which enabled the business to deliver 
20% growth in underlying trading profit.

At a Group level, profit before tax increased by  
11% to £360 million (2011: £324 million). Diluted 
earnings per share increased by 16% to 100.40 pence 
(2011: 86.76 pence).

Strategy
As we announced in last year’s annual report, we have 
been working on an update of the Group strategy for 
the period 2013 to 2017. We have traditionally 
followed a five year planning cycle and later in this 
report we have explained the strategy we will follow  
for the next five years.

I am very pleased to report that our strategy for the 
period 2008 to 2012 has successfully delivered on  
all its financial targets. In 2008, we announced that 
we believed the Aggreko business could deliver, on 
average, double digit revenue and earnings growth 
over the period. Performance has exceeded our 
expectations despite the five year period incorporating 
one of the most severe economic downturns in living 
memory with compound annual growth of 20% in 
revenues and 24% in trading profit. In addition to  
the financial targets, we have substantially enhanced 
the business and developed the capabilities and 
infrastructure to be able to continue growing for  
the next five years. Over the last five years we have: 

three new locations5;

by 10 percentage points;

 – increased EPS by 234%;

KEN HANNA 
Chairman

introduction
I am delighted to be able to introduce my first 
Chairman’s Statement. My predecessor, Philip Rogerson, 
stepped down at the AGM in April 2012 after ten years 
as Chairman and fifteen years on the Board and, on 
behalf of all my colleagues on the Board, I would like to 
thank Philip for his enormous contribution to Aggreko.

During my two years on the Board and the last year as 
Chairman, I have had the opportunity to meet many  
of the leaders of the Aggreko business, travelled to most 
of the Group’s major locations, attended the opening 
of our new manufacturing facility in Dumbarton and 
witnessed the Aggreko team deliver a flawless service 
at the London Olympics. I have to say I have been 
immensely impressed by the culture, passion and 
commitment of everyone I have met. There is a real 
drive for excellence and superior customer service  
that has undoubtedly contributed to the success  
of the Company over the last few years.

perForMance1 
I am pleased to report that Aggreko delivered another 
year of good progress in 2012. Reported revenues and 
trading profit2 both increased by 13%, whilst on an 
underlying3 basis revenues increased 14% and trading 
profit increased 6%. Underlying results exclude revenues

The Board is recommending a 15% increase in the 
dividend for the year as a whole; this will comprise a 
final dividend of 15.63 pence per ordinary share which, 
when added to the interim dividend of 8.28 pence, 
gives a total for the year of 23.91 pence. At this level, 
the dividend would be covered 4.2 times on a pre-
exceptional basis. Subject to approval by shareholders, 
the final dividend will be paid on 23 May 2013 to 
ordinary shareholders on the register as at 26 April 
2013, with an ex-dividend date of 24 April 2013.

Board and governance
Governance is the framework that articulates a company’s 
values and supports its behaviours. The Corporate 
Governance Report (pages 56 to 61 of the 2012 Annual 
Report) sets out clearly the changes made in the last year 
which include an update of the Terms of Reference for 
all Board Committees and significant changes to the 
Board composition. We now consider that the Group 
complies with all of the provisions of the UK Corporate 
Governance Code and that the Board is appropriately 
balanced in terms of diversity and specialist skills.

Diana Layfield (May 2012) and Rebecca McDonald 
(October 2012) joined the Board during the year as 
Non-executive Directors. I am delighted with these 
new appointments and, between them, Diana and 
Rebecca bring a deep knowledge of Emerging  
Markets and the Global Energy Sector.

In September 2012, we announced a new organisation 
structure and three Executive Directors stepped down 
from their roles: Bill Caplan (November 2012),  
Kash Pandya (December 2012) and George Walker 
(December 2012). All three Regional Executive 
Directors were key contributors to the success of the 
Group’s five year strategy and I would like to thank 
them on behalf of the Board.

The new organisation, which will take effect from  
1 January 2013, comprises three regions of approximately 
equal size that incorporate both the Local and Power 
Project businesses. We are delighted that we have 
been able to promote to the Board, two internal 
appointments: Asterios Satrazemis (January 2013) will 
run the Americas Region and Debajit Das (January 
2013) will run the Asia Pacific Region. And on  
22 February 2013 we announced the appointment  
of David Taylor-Smith who will join the Board on  
11 March 2013 and become the Regional Executive 
Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

eMployeeS
It has always been my belief that the most important 
investment that a company can make is in its people, 
and there is no doubt in my mind that the outstanding 
success of your Company is due to its dedicated and 
talented management team, and to the quality and 
determination of its workforce worldwide. On behalf of 
all the owners of the business, I would like to thank them 
all for their contribution to the success of your Company.

outlook For 2013
The Local business has had a very strong start to the year, 
with almost 20% more power on rent than a year ago, 
helped in part by our acquisition of Poit Energia in April 
2012. Encouragingly, growth in the Local business has 
been broadly spread, with most areas other than Europe 
showing healthy year-on-year increases in MW on hire.

In Power Projects, we have signed new contracts 
totalling 140MW in the year to date, and importantly, 
we have secured our first large order for our new 
Heavy Fuel Oil engine, with a 56MW contract in the 
Caribbean. We have also secured a contract for 57MW 
of diesel-powered generation in Djibouti. Trading 
continues to be subdued and is likely to remain so  
in the first half; however, in recent weeks there has 
been some improvement in the prospect pipeline.

Our expectations for the year as a whole remain 
unchanged from previous guidance.

What We do and  
Where We do it

The distinguishing features of our business are:

 – The products and services we provide are mission-

critical. Power and temperature control are utility 
services without which our customers cannot 
operate. Most customers use our services only 
occasionally – but, when they do, they rely on  
us to keep their business or even whole cities and 
countries functioning and safe. They are therefore 
likely to be more interested in quality of service 
rather than price.

 – We are not exposed to the fortunes of any single end-

user market. All businesses use power, and many use 
temperature control. Our equipment and services 
are transferable between end-user segments, so the 
generator used today in a petrochemical plant may be 
on a film set tomorrow and a building site the day after.

 – We operate globally. This means that we can 

respond to events as they happen anywhere around 
the world and can move our equipment to wherever 
it can deliver the best returns. 

 – We are organised to address all types of opportunity, 

from the rental of a single generator for a weekend, 
to managing huge projects, worth tens of millions  
of pounds, delivering hundreds of MW anywhere  
in the world.

 – We are experts. We are focused on a very narrow 

range of products – power and temperature control  
– and that means we have technical expertise, 
equipment, skills and experience on a scale, and  
to a depth, that we believe nobody else can rival.

 – We design and manufacture our own fleet,  

which means that we are able to optimise it for  
the specific requirements of our customers and  
of the rental business.

our BuSineSS

Aggreko provides power and temperature control 
solutions to customers who need them either very 
quickly, or for a short length of time. We have two 
business models. In the Local business, we hire our 
equipment to customers who operate it for themselves, 
although we retain responsibility for servicing and 
maintenance. In the Power Projects business, we 
operate as a power producer; we install and operate 
power plants and our customers pay us for having the 
generating capacity available, as well as the electricity 
we deliver to them.

We do all of this on a global basis and, in 2012, we 
served customers in about 100 countries; we run our 
business from 194 service centres and offices, located 
in 47 countries. The solutions we provide range from 
the very large and complex to the very simple.

Large and complex would include:

existing grid cannot cope with demand by delivering 
hundreds of megawatts (MW) of additional power;

 – keeping the lights on in entire countries when their 
 – helping oil refineries to maintain production in  
 – designing and providing critical power infrastructure 

hot weather by providing additional cooling and 
power; and

for broadcasting, security and field-of-play lighting 
for major sporting events such as the Olympic 
Games and the FIFA World Cup. 

Simple would include:

after the air-conditioning has broken down;

 – providing temperature control in an office building 
 – installing chillers to make ice for temporary  
 – providing a generator for a few days to a power 

utility while it carries out improvements to 
transmission lines.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 – We keep our equipment for its useful life, so the 

better we build and maintain the equipment, the 
longer its life will be and the more money we make 
for our shareholders. We therefore take enormous 
care to build and maintain our equipment to the 
highest standards and this, in turn, means that our 
customers see high quality and reliable equipment.

By developing these competitive advantages,  
Aggreko has grown over the last 50 years to be  
the world market leader with outstanding people, 
strong customer relationships, a powerful brand and 
an excellent reputation. We have also developed a 
business large enough to enjoy economies of scale, 
which has enabled us to deliver highly attractive 
returns to shareholders while delivering outstanding 
value and service to our customers.

our locationS

Aggreko has global reach through an international 
network of service centres and offices spanning North 
and Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, 
Africa and Australasia. Our 194 service centres and 
offices in 47 countries enable us to combine local 
knowledge, strong customer relationships and efficient 
logistics to provide excellent service and speed of 
response, while our commitment to managing the 
business and assets on a homogenous and global basis 
means that each local service centre can draw on huge 
resources to support its customers.

This is a key competitive advantage: being close to our 
customers means we can be there in an emergency, able 
to respond quickly to their needs. At the same time, as 
a global business, we can use our resources strategically, 
moving staff and equipment around the world to 
wherever our customers need them.

A list of our locations is shown on pages 8 to 9.

Directors’ Reportour Fleet

Aggreko is unique amongst large equipment rental 
companies in that we design and build the majority  
of our fleet in our own, purpose-built manufacturing 
facility in Scotland. We believe that this is an important 
competitive advantage, for a number of reasons:

 – First, it means that we can optimise the equipment 

to meet our particular operational requirements.  
A generator or chiller is normally designed to be 
permanently installed and rarely, if ever, moved; its 
performance will also be adapted for the regulations 
and ambient conditions of the country in which it 
is sold. An Aggreko generator will be picked up and 
put down hundreds of times during its working life, 
and may be required to work faultlessly at +50°C  
in the Saudi Arabian desert and a few weeks later  
at –40°C in Siberia. This is not a capability that is 
available in off-the-shelf equipment. We also design 
our equipment with the knowledge that we will 
own it for its operating life and the more reliable  
it is, and the longer it lasts, the higher the returns 
we will make. Given the choice of 6mm steel for  
a bed-plate, or 8mm, we choose 10mm. 

 – Second, the volume in which we purchase the key 

components is significant in terms of the overall 
market. In some sizes of equipment, we are probably 
the largest buyer in the world. By designing and 
manufacturing our own equipment, we can capture 
for ourselves the benefits of being a volume 
purchaser. On a like-for-like basis, we think we 
have a cost advantage over our competitors and,  
in a capital-intensive business, that is important.

 – Third, having our own design and manufacturing 

capability means that we can react extremely 
quickly to customer requirements. We only have to 
convince ourselves of the desirability of a particular 
design feature, not a third party manufacturer.

10

Most rental businesses have a model of buying assets and 
then selling them on at a relatively early stage in their 
useful life. This minimises maintenance costs and enables 
them to use income from used fleet sales to help finance 
new equipment purchases. Because we build longevity 
into our equipment, and failure rates in generators and 
chillers are more related to how well they are maintained 
rather than how old they are, we opt for a policy of 
rigorously maintaining our assets and running them for 
as long as possible. This also has the important benefit 
that our business model is not exposed to the vagaries 
of prices achievable in the used equipment market, 
which tend to fluctuate with the economic cycle. 

Our power fleet is, by our estimates, about 7 times 
larger than our nearest competitor: at the end of 2012, 
it comprises around 18,000 generators ranging in size 
from 10KW to 2MW which, in aggregate, amount  
to over 9,100MW of generating capacity. To put this 
into perspective, out of 233 countries in the world  
we have more generating capacity than 170 of them. 
In aggregate, the net asset value of our power fleet is 
£1,005 million, and the original cost carried in our 
balance sheet is £1,909 million. This value includes 
large inventories of transformers, switchgear, cable 
and distribution equipment which are essential in 
providing our customers with power they can use 
rather than a just a large humming box.

This fleet includes around 600 one MW generators  
that have undergone at least one refurbishment.  
This refurbishment capability, most important for  
our Power Projects business, is a major competitive 
advantage in that it delivers ‘as good as new’ 
generators, modified to the latest specifications,  
for around two-thirds of the original cost. 

Our chiller fleet is also much larger than any of  
our competitors, with over 2,250 units with a total 
capacity of 1,080MW. The net asset value of our 
chiller fleet is £47 million, and the original cost 
carried in our balance sheet is £118 million.

The rest of our fleet mainly comprises air-conditioners, 
oil-free air compressors, cooling towers and other 
ancillary equipment with an aggregate net asset value 
of £144 million, and the original cost carried in our 
balance sheet is £304 million.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012our BuSineSS ModelS

Aggreko is organised around two different  
business models.

local BuSineSS

Our Local business runs with high volumes of generally 
quite low value transactions, providing power or 
temperature control equipment when they need it 
either in a hurry or for a short period of time. Aside 
from major events such as the Olympics (where 
contracts can be worth tens of millions of pounds), 
the average contract size is around £17,000, but the 
range is from £200 to over £1,000,000. Although most 
of this business is planned in advance, about 25% of 
its revenues come from responding to emergencies.  
It is therefore essential to have the capability to deploy 
equipment and people to the customer’s site within a 
matter of hours. This business operates from 194 service 
centres and offices in North and Latin America, 
Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australasia. 
These service centres look after customers who are 
normally within a radius of 200 miles, and they offer 
the complete range of our products and services.

Our Local business serves any customer who uses power 
and temperature control: butchers, bakers and candle-
stick makers; banks, TV manufacturers and film studios; 
farmers, wineries, utilities and oil companies; miners, 
armies, navies, air forces and telecoms companies; 
hairdressers, party planners and major sporting events. 
Anyone who uses power or temperature control in  
their business is a potential customer. This makes our 
customer-base diverse both in terms of geography and 
market segment, which is a great advantage as it gives 
us some protection against the vagaries of any one 
particular market. And we can quickly move resources 
to sectors and countries which are growing.

In 2012, the Local business had revenues of £905 million 
which is 59% of Aggreko’s total revenue excluding 
pass-through fuel1.

poWer projectS

The Power Projects business sells power which we 
deliver using power plants built, owned and operated 
by ourselves. Whereas in the Local business a contract 

1   Pass-through fuel revenue relates to three contracts in our Power 

Projects business. 

with a customer is described in terms of renting 
specified items of equipment for a period of time,  
most of the contracts that Power Projects performs  
are for providing a defined amount of electrical power, 
for which a customer pays a fixed monthly capacity 
charge; they then pay, in addition, a variable charge 
for each MW-hour they take. Under the terms of 
these contracts, Aggreko is responsible for installing 
and operating the equipment and the invoice to the 
customer is for power generation capacity not equipment 
rented. Most projects in this business are worth over  
£1 million a year and some can be worth very much 
more than that; in 2012, we invoiced our largest utility 
customer around £95 million. A typical contract in  
this business would be for the rental of 20-50MW for 
an initial period of 6-12 months, which will often be 
extended. Our power-plants are highly modular, and 
their capacity can be flexed in 1MW increments using 
standard containerised units of our own proprietary 
design, designed and built in our factory in Scotland; 
importantly, these generators are also in widespread use 
in the Local business, so fleet can be shared between 
the two businesses. They use either diesel or gas as fuel 
and are designed to be easily transportable, reliable and 
robust; in 2013 we also announced the availability of 
generators that can run on Heavy Fuel Oil, which is 
significantly cheaper than diesel. Power projects can arise 
anywhere in the world and the required response time 
is generally weeks rather than the hours or days needed 
in the Local business. To support these projects, we 
concentrate our fleet in a number of hubs – in Central 
America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. From each 
hub, large amounts of equipment can be shipped or 
flown rapidly to wherever it is needed.

Power Projects customers are almost all in emerging 
markets and over 84% of our revenues come from 
utilities but we also serve governments, armed forces,  
as well as oil & gas and mining companies.

In 2012, our Power Projects business generated 
revenues of £638 million, or 41% of Aggreko’s  
total revenue excluding pass-through fuel1.

coMpetitive environMent

When customers need power or temperature control 
equipment, they have the choice to buy, lease or rent, 
and therefore the biggest competitors for our customers’ 
money are not rental companies but equipment 
manufacturers. The vast majority of chillers and

generators supplied to end-users each year are bought or 
leased, and only a few are rented. So, in terms of pricing 
and service, we always have to be focused on the fact that 
customers have a choice, not only of using other rental 
companies, but also to buy from manufacturers. The 
questions in the choice between buying and renting tend 
to be speed – how quickly do you need it? – and duration 
– how long do you need it for? Urgency, and/or short 
duration, is the need that we, as a rental business, serve. 

Within the Local business, barriers to entry are 
relatively low; many companies, small and large, drift 
in and out of rental, and competition in each market is 
fierce. Typically, competitors in the Local business are 
either privately-owned specialist rental businesses, or 
divisions of large plant-hire companies. Their common 
characteristic is that they are local: most of them 
operate in a single country and, often, in just a 

12

particular part of a country. In their own territory they 
are very effective, but they find it difficult to operate 
outside their home market. So in most areas in which 
we operate, competition in the Local business is fierce; 
but the names with whom we do battle will tend to be 
different country by country, or even county by county.

For Power Projects, in some regions – notably South 
America and Asia – there are a number of companies 
that compete with us in their home territory, but  
they find it hard to operate outside their regional  
base. There are about 10-15 Caterpillar dealers who 
compete vigorously for power projects but, again,  
they tend to stick to neighborhoods they know. These 
companies find it hard to organise themselves globally, 
however, and it is difficult to operate efficiently in the 
Power Projects business without a large homogenous 
fleet and the infrastructure to market, sell and operate 
it in a consistent manner around the world. There is 
only one other company that has the proven ability  
to operate globally, which is APR Energy plc, based  
in Jacksonville, Florida, and we have been competing 
with them, on and off, for about eight years. Analysts’ 
consensus is that their 2012 revenues will be around 
$270 million, which is about 10% of Aggreko’s.

In both the Local business and Power Projects, valuable 
economies of scale accrue to those who can operate on  
a global basis. However, to gain these benefits of global 
scale requires a very long-term commitment to building 
distribution, deep technical expertise across a number of 
disciplines, and a well developed supply-chain; it also 
requires hundreds of millions of pounds of capital to fund 
fleet investment. Some people have the misconception 
that Aggreko has grown from nothing over a short period 
of time; to the contrary, Aggreko was founded some fifty 
years ago, and it has taken us five decades, several billion 
pounds of cumulative investment in fleet and a global 
network of service centres to get to the point where we 
are big enough to enjoy the benefits of global scale. Over 
the last ten years, some very large and powerful companies 
who have global scale in other markets have tried to 
emulate Aggreko but none has yet succeeded in building 
a global integrated power and temperature control 
business of the same scale. Aggreko is currently the only 
business in the market which has grown large enough to 
capture the economies of global scale and, in turn, these 
efficiencies have enabled us to fund rates of investment 
far ahead of any competitor. As a consequence of this 
rate of investment, we have grown to be significantly 
larger than any other company operating in our market.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012the Market

our Market

Demand for Aggreko’s services is created by events: 
our customers generally turn to us when something 
happens which means they need power or temperature 
control quickly, or for a short period of time. Events 
that stimulate demand range from the very large and 
infrequent to the small and recurrent.

Examples of high-value, infrequent events or situations 
we have worked on include:

Argentina.

FIFA World Cup, Asian Games.

 – Large-scale power shortage – Japan, Bangladesh, 
 – Major sporting occasions – Olympic Games,  
 – Entertainment and broadcasting – Glastonbury, 
 – Natural disasters – Hurricane Sandy in North 
 – Post-conflict re-construction – Congo, Iraq  

America in 2012, Brisbane floods 2011.

and Afghanistan.

Ryder Cup. 

Examples of lower-value, more frequent events  
on which we might work are:

the summer to maintain production throughput.

 – An oil refinery needs additional cooling during  
 – A glass manufacturer suffers a breakdown in its 
 – A city centre needs chillers to create an ice-rink  

plant and needs power while its own equipment  
is being repaired.

for the Christmas period.

hoW Big iS the Market,  
and What iS our Share?

Because we operate in very specific niches of the 
rental market – power, temperature control and, in 
North America only, oil-free compressed air – and 
across a very broad geography, it is very difficult to 
determine with any accuracy the size of our market.  
A complicating fact is that our own activities serve  
to create market demand – Bangladesh and Indonesia 
did not figure highly in our estimates of market size a 
few years ago, but they are now important customers 
as a result of our sales efforts. Furthermore, our market 
is event driven, and major events such as hurricanes 
in North America, the Olympic Games, or major 
droughts in Africa can influence local market size  
in the short-term.

We have tried all sorts of ways to size the market for 
the Local business. In large and mature markets this  
is difficult, but not impossible. We can seek to track 
down every competitor and guess how much they 
have on rent as opposed to us. In emerging markets, 
where we are growing fastest, estimating market size  
is not difficult, it is impossible, as we are often the 
only major player in the market and the job we do  
is one of demand creation. Until we arrived in, say, 
South Africa, there was no market for industrial-scale 
temperature-control rental, because nobody offered it. 
Now there is one, because we do. So our approach is 
what expensive (and therefore, presumably, clever) 
consultants tell us is called ‘market potential 
estimation’, which works as follows:

 – Step One: in a market (say, oil-refining in the  

US) in which we are well-established and have  
high market share, calculate our rental revenues  
(a known number) in the sector as a proportion  
of the total economic output of oil refineries in  
the US (another known number). This produces  
a very small number, like 0.00001.

 – Step Two: make the bold assumption that if we  

can achieve, say, 0.00001 of the economic output  
of refineries in the US as revenues, we should, in

What driveS groWth  
in the local BuSineSS?

Growth in Aggreko’s Local business is driven by three 
main factors:

 – GDP – as an economy grows, so does demand  

for energy in general, and rental equipment in 
particular. When economies are growing fast, 
businesses tend to be busy, and they are therefore 
more likely to rent power equipment for a weekend 
to do necessary maintenance, rather than lose 
production. In slow-growing economies where  
there is excess capacity, the reverse is true.

 – Propensity to rent – how inclined people are to  

rent rather than buy. This is driven by issues such as 
the tax treatment of capital assets and the growing 
awareness and acceptance of outsourcing. In emerging 
markets, financing is hard to come by and often 
exorbitantly expensive, and they are therefore  
more likely to be prepared to rent.

 – Events – high-value/low-frequency events change 

the size of a market, although only temporarily.  
For example, Hurricane Sandy in 2012 led to a 
short-term surge in temporary power demand in the 
areas affected by the disaster; likewise, the London 
Olympics in 2012 vastly increased the market for 
power rental in the UK, but for six months only.

In the last five years, real global GDP has grown by 
around 1.7%; so we would assume that the market 
potential grew by around 3.4% in real terms. During 
the period, our revenues in the Local business grew  
by 15% in nominal terms, and by 10% in constant 
currency terms. So we believe our market share grew 
during the period.

potential market is, and how little we have, so far, 
achieved in our attempts to penetrate Chinese  
oil-refineries.

 – Step Three: take this same technique, and apply  

it to about 20 segments in 30 countries, and, hey-
presto, we have a number for the market potential 
(a dodgy number) and a number for our revenues  
in the sector (a known number), and therefore  
an estimate of our share of ‘market potential’.

This is all a bit flimsy but, absent spending a fortune 
of our shareholders’ money on consultants, it is the 
best that we can come up with and, actually, and most 
importantly, it is a useful technique for our salespeople 
because it tells us pretty accurately which markets and 
sectors we should be concentrating our efforts on.

From this process, we have come to the following 
conclusions:

 – The Local ‘market potential’ is estimated to  

be about £4 billion; against our Local business 
revenues of £905 million, that would imply we have 
a share of the market potential of about 20%. Since 
a significant proportion of that market potential is 
not actually translated into demand, we guess that 
our worldwide market share is around 25%.

 – In almost every country we operate in, we are the 

number one or number two player, and we are the 
only competitor that operates in all major regions  
of the world.

 – The Local business market is growing at about twice 

the rate of GDP, and probably faster than that in 
some emerging countries where the market barely 
existed before we turned up.

Estimating market size is easier in the Power Projects 
business because there are few competitors, and we get 
reasonable intelligence about their activities. We keep 
a database of all known power projects, and estimate 
that the total market for Power Projects was about 
8,400MW +/–10%. Our average MW on hire in 2012 
was 3,794MW, which says that our market share is 
around 45%.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012What driveS groWth in the  
poWer projectS BuSineSS?

The factors which drive the growth of our Power 
Projects business are different. The main trigger of 
demand is power cuts; when the lights go out in a 
country, people want power restored as quickly as 
possible. It is a perverse fact that people value power 
most when they are without it. We believe that in 
many parts of the world, and most particularly in 
many developing countries, there will be increasing 
numbers of power cuts, caused by a combination of 
burgeoning demand for power, ageing existing plant 
and inadequate investment in new capacity.

Our core market for Power Projects is in emerging 
markets where GDP is growing fast, and demand for 
power is growing faster than GDP. Working with a 
leading group of professional economists at Oxford 
Economics, we have built a model which takes data on 
GDP and population growth, power consumption and 
power generation capacity for 170 countries over the 
last 10 years. Using this historical data, it then projects 
future power demand based on forecasts of population 
and GDP growth. Our model predicts that worldwide 
demand for power will grow by around 4% per annum 
between 2010 and 2020, comprising around 6% in  
non-OECD countries and 2% in OECD countries. Our 
model reflects the sharp divergence between the growth 
in power consumption between OECD and non-OECD 
countries in recent years, as shown in the graph below.

The rapid growth in power consumption in developing 
countries is driven by industrialisation, urbanisation

and by the growing number of consumers having access 
to devices which consume electricity, such as fridges, 
televisions and mobile phones. Between 2000 and 2010, 
the number of people whose power consumption per 
capita was growing faster than per capita GDP increased 
by nearly 1 billion to over 3 billion souls (source Oxford 
Economics). And, according to the International Energy 
Agency, there are still over 1.3 billion people with no 
access to electricity. This is not through lack of wanting.

To make this situation worse, by 2015, 20%-25% of the 
world’s installed power-generating capacity will be over 
40 years old, which we believe is a reasonable proxy  
for the average life of a permanent power plant. The 
coming years will see the beginning of a replacement 
cycle during which a large part of existing power-plant 
construction capacity will be dedicated to replacing 
existing plants in North America and Europe, rather 
than building replacement or additional capacity  
in developing countries. The sums which need to  
be mobilised over the next 10 years to re-build the 
power distribution and generation capacity in North 
America and Europe are huge; in the UK alone, the 
regulator estimates that up to £200 billion will be 
required. This means that developing countries will 
have to compete for funds with developed countries, 
where investment risk is perceived to be far lower.

We have recently updated our current models of the gap 
between supply and demand, and we now believe that 
the combination of these demand-side and supply-side 
factors will increase the worldwide shortfall of power 
generating capacity to around 230 gigawatts (GW) by 
2020 which is a nearly 4-fold increase from 2005 when it 
was about 53GW. In our core market, which we define 
as non-OECD countries excluding China, we estimate 
that in the same period the shortfall will increase 9-fold, 
from 22GW to 195GW. The ultimate size of the shortfall 
will depend on both the rate of increase in demand and 
the net additional generation and transmission capacity 
brought into production during the period. Even if the 
shortfall is lower than our current forecasts, it will still 
represent a level of global power shortage significantly 
larger than today’s. We are confident that such a level 
of power shortage will drive powerful growth over the 
medium and long term in demand for temporary power 
as countries struggle to keep the lights on.

15

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ ReportIt is also important to remember that Power Projects 
specialises in providing energy infrastructure in 
countries where political and commercial risk is high  
– sometimes very high – and the fact is that we do 
business where others fear to tread. To date, we have 
never had a material loss of equipment or receivables 
but it is likely, that sooner or later, one of our 
customers will misbehave. Our assets are at much 
greater risk of loss or impairment than they would be  
if they were sitting in the suburbs of London or New 
York or Singapore. We have extensive risk-mitigation 
procedures and techniques, and we are currently 
carrying over $80 million of bad-debt provisions,  
but investors should remember that the returns  
we report are fundamentally ‘risk-unadjusted rates  
of return’ because nobody has yet behaved badly 
enough to adjust them. 

the Market CONTINUED

health WarningS

Our Power Projects business has delivered fantastic 
returns over the last two strategy cycles: a compound 
growth of 34% in trading profit and an average return 
on capital of 31%. Because the structural drivers of 
growth are so strong, it is easy to be seduced into the 
belief that progress has always been smooth. This is 
not the case: not only has order intake been volatile, 
but we have also seen large variations in quarterly  
on- and off-hire rates (see graph below). In a business 
where customers pay a premium for the ability to take 
on or get rid of capacity at short notice, we should  
not be surprised if they exercise their rights for their 
convenience rather than ours, and it therefore the 
case that growth in our Power Projects is subject to  
fits and starts rather than one of smooth progression. 
The structural growth drivers will ensure that, over 
time, the direction will be onwards and upwards but, 
from quarter to quarter and from year to year, it will 
not be a smooth ride.

group Strategy
The objective of our strategy is to deliver long-term 
value to shareholders, excellent service to customers 
and rewarding careers to our employees by being the 
leading global provider of temporary power and 
temperature control. Our strategy is founded on  
the belief that, in our market sector, it is possible  
to create competitive advantage by building a truly 
global business – i.e. one which operates in the same 
way around the world and can use the same fleet 
everywhere, the same processes, the same skills and  
the same infrastructure. This homogeneity means that 
significant operating advantages and efficiencies accrue 
to those who have global scale; the focus of our efforts, 
is therefore directed towards building global scale and 
securing these advantages and efficiencies for ourselves.

Our current strategy was developed following an 
in-depth review of Aggreko’s business in 2003, and  
has been consistently applied (with the occasional 
tweak of the tiller) and which we have worked 
relentlessly to implement for the last nine years.  
We believe that this consistency of purpose has  
been a major contributor to our success and that  
the result – 19% compound growth in revenues  
and 28% compound growth in trading profit –  
is the proof of the strategy’s success.

Whilst it is tempting (particularly to current 
management) to ascribe this success to our own 
brilliance, the fact is that we know we stand on the 
shoulders of giants. Aggreko’s success over the last  
ten years has been made possible by the skilful and 
patient investment made over the previous forty years 
by our predecessors. It was they who built a network 
of service centres in North America, Europe and 
Australia; understood that designing and building our 
own equipment had major advantages; created a hard-
working, entrepreneurial and customer-focused culture; 
and built a brand. The lesson we see every day is that it 
takes decades to achieve the sort of global scale which 
Aggreko now enjoys, and there are no short cuts.

17

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportour Strategy CONTINUED

We have a policy of thoroughly reviewing our strategy 
every five years, with interim updates every two years; 
since the first strategy review in 2003, we completed 
major reviews in 2007 and, most recently, in 2012. 
Aggreko’s strategy is developed by the senior management 
team, led by the Chief Executive, and involves internal 
and external research, much of it proprietary. We seek 
to develop a deep understanding of the drivers of 
demand, changing customer requirements, and the 
competitive environment as well as developments  
in technology and regulation. We look at our own 
strengths and weaknesses, and at the opportunities and 
threats that are likely to face us. From this analysis, we 
develop a list of investment and operational options 
and analyse their relative risks and rewards, bearing  
in mind the capabilities and resources of the Group.

At the time of the 2007 review we set ourselves a 
target of growing the business at over 10% during the 
five years to 2012, subject to the vagaries of the world 
economy. We did not anticipate that there would be  
a financial crisis and global recession in that period, 
but it is a tribute to the structural drivers of growth  
in our business that we have bettered our targets by  
a significant margin, as shown in the table below. 

We have now completed the 2012 Strategy Review 
which has incorporated a significant amount of 
proprietary research, as well as detailed input from many 
of the senior managers in the business. The process took 
around 14 months and included regular updates to the 
Board; the principal conclusions of the review are:

 – The strategic initiatives of the last 5 years have 

generally worked well, and Aggreko is a much stronger 
business now than it was in 2007. Set out below is our 
assessment of our scorecard against our stated targets.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 
 – There have been some disappointments. In 2007  

we said we would grow our temperature control 
business, but revenues from this product line have 
barely moved over the period. We also said that  
we thought there would be an opportunity to use  
our technology to provide smoothing of power 
generation in developed countries as wind became  
a larger proportion of capacity. So far, we have 
singularly failed in this endeavour, although we 
have found a parallel market supporting wind farm 
construction and commissioning.

Looking ahead to the next 5 years, we believe that:

 – Our Local business will continue to offer attractive 

opportunities for growth, particularly in emerging 
markets. We believe that the underlying market  
for power and temperature control rental grows  
at around 2 times GDP. The reason why emerging 
markets are so attractive is that their GDP is growing 
faster, and 2 x 6% is better than 2 x 1%. We have 
invested in opening or acquiring some 64 new 
locations in emerging markets since 2006; many  
of them have yet to achieve the $5 million annual 
revenues we would expect of a mature depot, so we 
expect to get the benefit as they grow to scale in the 
next five years. We will also take the opportunity 
through our new organisation structure to exploit 
the synergies that exist between the Local and Power 
Projects businesses; as we open Local businesses in new 
countries, contracts which previously might have been 
done by Power Projects can be executed at lower cost 
by depots. In terms of our expectation of the rates of 
growth the Local business will deliver over the next 
five years, we would expect revenue growth of between 
8% and 12%; margins of between 17% and 20%; and 
a return on capital employed of between 18% and 
21%. It should be emphasised that these are the 
averages we would expect over a five year period, 
and there will be years when we may be outside  
one of these ranges.

 – Our Power Projects business is focused on emerging 

markets and the growth in its markets are driven by 
structural issues. Growth in demand for electricity in 
emerging markets is growing faster than GDP, and 
few countries have been able to finance the additional 
permanent generating and transmission capacity 
needed to keep up with demand. Our review has 
confirmed that these structural issues are likely to 
remain in place for the foreseeable future; we believe 

that the shortfall between supply and demand will 
grow at about 13% CAGR for the next five years.  
We think this will translate into an increase in market 
demand for temporary power in the range of 10-15% 
per annum. In terms of our expectation of the rates 
of growth the Power Projects business will deliver 
over the next five years, we would expect underlying 
revenue growth of between 10% and 15%; margins  
of between 27% and 32%; and a return on capital 
employed of between 25% and 30%. As with the 
Local business, it should be emphasised that these 
are the averages we would expect over a five year 
period, and there will be years when we may be 
outside one of these ranges. Our reference to 
‘underlying growth’ above means the growth we 
would expect to achieve once we have adjusted for 
our contracts in Japan and with the US Military, 
which we expect to largely disappear over the 
course of 2013 and 2014.

 – Product innovation will continue to be an important 

source of growth. Aggreko is unique amongst 
operators in the market in designing, developing  
and manufacturing its own equipment, and we use 
this to drive down the capital cost of our rental fleet 
and to develop new products. In 2006 we launched  
a range of gas-powered generators which, because of 
the lower price of gas, allows customers to generate 
power at much lower cost per kWh than they can 
with diesel. Over the last five years, revenues from 
this product have grown by 63% CAGR to over 
$250 million, and we expect gas to account for 
around 40% of Power Projects’ revenues in 2013. 
Encouraged by the success of our gas development, 
in 2009 we launched a £6 million development 
programme with Ricardo plc to develop an engine 
which would both be able to run on Heavy Fuel 
Oil, a much cheaper fuel than diesel, and would 
also improve on the performance of our existing 
diesel engines. Our new engine was launched in 
early 2013 and we have high hopes for it.

 – Longer term, we believe that the key to expanding the 

market for Power Projects is to be able to deliver a cost 
per kWh which makes temporary power competitive 
with permanent power. If we can marry the 
advantages of speed of deployment and flexibility of 
temporary power with the costs of permanent power, 
we should be able to greatly expand the market. 

19

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportour Strategy CONTINUED

 – In all our businesses, there are opportunities  

to improve the efficiency of operations, whilst 
maintaining our prized agility. There are plenty  
of things we can do better and we will continue  
to develop our capability to improve the way we  
do things in the business; following the launch of 
our 2008 Orange Excellence programme, we have 
now trained over 900 people in continuous 
improvement techniques.

 – At a Group level, our expectation is that over the 

next five years we should achieve, on average and 
subject to year-on-year variation, double-digit rates 
of growth in revenues, with margins and returns on 
capital in excess of 20%.

Our strategy for each of the business lines is set out in 
more detail below.

BuSineSS line operational Strategy
Supporting the Group strategy, Aggreko has 
developed operational strategies for our two  
different lines of business:

 – The Local business rents power and temperature 

control systems, ranging from small generators up  
to large industrial cooling towers, to customers who 
are typically within a few hours’ driving time of our 
service centres; and

 – The Power Projects business builds and then operates 

temporary power plants, selling their capacity and 
electricity to utilities, the military and major mining 
and oil companies, mainly in emerging markets. 

The Local business 
The Local business serves customers from 194 service 
centres in 47 countries in North, Central & South 
America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and 
Australasia. This is a business with high transaction 
volumes: average contracts (excluding major events) 
have a value of around £17,000 and last a handful  
of weeks. The Local business represents 59% of 
Aggreko’s revenues, excluding pass-through fuel, and 
45% of trading profit. Since our first strategy review in 
2003, revenues and trading profit have increased at a 
compound growth rate of 15% and 23% respectively:

There are three elements to our strategy for the  
Local business:

1.  Maintain a clear differentiation between our offering 
and that of our competitors through superior service.

2.  Use the benefits of global scale to be extremely 

efficient. This should enable us to make attractive 
returns whilst delivering a superior service at 
competitive prices.

3.  Offering superior service at competitive prices  

will allow us to increase market share and extend 
our global reach, delivering growing revenues at 
attractive margins. In terms of markets we serve, we 
have been very focussed on expanding our presence 
in countries that have high rates of GDP growth, 
particularly emerging markets. This enables us to 
obtain higher levels of growth, and increase our 
scale and global reach.

Against the first objective – to maintain a clear 
differentiation between our offering and that of our 
competitors – third-party research shows that Aggreko 
is one of the world’s best-performing companies in 
terms of customer satisfaction. We are determined to 
maintain this reputation for premium service and we 
do this through the attitude and expertise of our staff, 
the geographic reach of our operations, the design, 
availability and reliability of our equipment, and the 
ability to respond to our customers 24 hours a day,  
7 days a week.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012The claim to be one of the world’s best-performing 
companies in terms of customer satisfaction is a big one, 
but we think we have good reason to make it. For each 
of the last three years we have been asking about 20,000 
customers what they think of the service they have 
received from us, and we measure our Net Promoter 
Score. This is an objective measure of customer 
satisfaction which reflects the balance between those 
who think we are wonderful and those who think we 
are dreadful. Happily, the former greatly outnumber 
the latter. Over the last seven years our score has 
improved by twelve percentage points and Satmetrix,  
a global leader in customer experience programmes 
who manage over 11 million customer responses 
annually (including Aggreko’s), have confirmed that 
our Net Promoter Score in 2012 was amongst the  
top five highest of all their customers benchmarked 
worldwide in the business-to-business segment. 

The second objective of our strategy for the Local 
business is to be extremely efficient in the way we run 
our operations. This is essential if we are to provide 
superior customer service at a competitive price and,  
at the same time, deliver to our shareholders an 
attractive return on capital. In a business in which 
lead-times are short, logistics are complex and we 
process a large number of low-value transactions,  
a pre-condition of efficiency is having high-quality 
systems and robust processes.

The operation of our Local businesses in most areas  
is based on a ‘hub-and-spoke’ model which has two 
types of service centre: hubs hold our larger items  
of equipment as well as providing service and repair 
facilities; spokes are smaller and act as logistics points 
from which equipment can be delivered quickly to  
a customer’s site. The hubs and spokes have been 
organised into areas in which a manager has 
responsibility for the revenues, profitability and  
the return on capital employed within that area.  
In this model, most administrative and call handling 
functions are carried out in central rental centres.

Our Local business enjoys numerous advantages as  
a result of its global scale. Standardised operating 
processes and the investment in a single global IT 
platform bring visibility and homogeneity. Global 
utilisation statistics allow us to spot where equipment 
is under-utilised, and where it can be moved to for  
the best return, and this is reflected in the increase  
in sales/gross rental assets which is a financial measure 

of utilisation; between 2004 and 2012, sales/gross 
rental assets in the Local business increased from  
62% to 78%. Building our own equipment allows us  
to stock our fleet with premium-quality equipment  
at competitive cost. Global reach allows us to deliver 
service to customers (such as major events customers) 
wherever they go. Global processes allow us to 
disseminate best practice quickly. The benefits  
of our global scale accrue to both customers and 
shareholders. Our Net Promoter Scores tell us that  
the model works well for customers and, for our 
shareholders, the benefit has been a compound growth 
in trading profit of 23% over the last 9 years and a 
return on capital employed that has improved from 
11% to 20% over the same period. Some people ask  
us why the return on capital in the Local business is 
lower than in Power Projects; the main answer to this 
is that, inherently, the risks – political, economic and 
people-related – we run in the Local business are far 
lower than in Power Projects and, therefore, the 
rewards are consequently (and properly) lower.

The third objective of our strategy for the Local 
business is to deliver growth in revenues by increasing 
market share and global reach. In our more mature 
markets, such as North America and Europe, we know 
that the most profitable businesses are those where  
we have dense networks of service centres which  
can share equipment, staff and customers, and benefit 
from the low transport costs that come from being 
physically close to customers. So, in these markets,  
we focus on adding new service centres and upgrading 
existing centres to make them more capable. In the 
last 5 years, in our mature markets in Australia/New 
Zealand, North America and Europe, we have opened 
or upgraded service centres and offices, including 
those acquired as part of an acquisition in:

North America:   Edmonton, Fort McMurray,  

Europe:

However, we know that our businesses grow fastest 
where there is strong growth in GDP. So a core part 
of our strategy has been expanding our Local business 
in the faster-growing economies of South America, 
the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The acquisition of 
GE Energy Rentals in 2006 helped us to expand our

Power Projects
This business serves the requirements of power utilities, 
governments, armed forces and major industrial users 
for utility-quality, temporary power generation. 
Whereas in the Local business we rent equipment  
to customers who operate it for themselves, in the 
Power Projects business we contract to provide power 
generated by plants financed, built, commissioned and 
operated by our own staff. The power plants can range 
in size from 10MW to 200MW on a single site.

Most often, the business operates in areas where  
we do not have a large Local business. The majority  
of the customers are power utilities in Africa, Asia, 
Central and South America. As described in the 
‘What we do’ section, the driver of demand in these 
markets is that our customers’ economies are growing, 
with consequent increases in demand for additional 
power which cannot be met by the current generating 

22

capacity. As a result, many of our customers face 
chronic power shortages which damage their ability  
to support economic growth and increased prosperity. 
These shortages are often caused or exacerbated by 
the variability of supply arising from the use of hydro-
electric power plants whose output is cyclical and 
dependent on rainfall. 

Power Projects now represents 41% of Group  
revenues and 55% of trading profit, excluding pass-
through fuel. Since 2003, Power Projects revenue 
excluding pass-through fuel and trading profit have 
grown at a compound annual growth rate of 29%  
and 34% respectively:

Note: Pass-through fuel refers to revenues we generate from three 
customers for whom we have agreed to manage the provision of fuel 
on a ‘pass-through’ basis. This revenue stream fluctuates with the cost 
of fuel and the volumes taken, while having an immaterial impact on 
our profitability. We therefore exclude pass-through fuel from most 
discussions of our business.

The strategy for this business is straightforward: grow  
as fast as we prudently can, to secure for ourselves  
the operating efficiencies and competitive advantages 
which come from being the largest global operator. So 
far, we have been successful in executing this strategy 
and our Power Projects business is now many times 
larger than its next largest competitor.

The reason why it is advantageous to be a global 
operator in Power Projects is because demand can shift 
rapidly between continents. In 2003, South America 

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 
and Asia were probably the largest markets, and Africa 
was only a small proportion of global demand. In 2009, 
the market in Africa was larger than South America 
and Asia combined. In the last couple of years, the 
position (as measured by our fleet-on-rent) reversed 
with South America and Asia representing around 50% 
of our average fleet on rent. These shifts in demand 
were driven in part by rainfall patterns, in part by the 
relationship between economic growth and investment 
in permanent power generation and, in part, by geo-
political issues. To be successful in the long-term, 
therefore, requires the ability to serve demand globally, 
and that requires sales, marketing and operational 
infrastructure to be present in all major markets.

The reason we want to be big – and bigger than any  
of our competitors – is because we believe that, as in 
the Local business, scale brings significant competitive 
advantages in Power Projects. There are numerous 
reasons for this:

 – Being able to address demand on a worldwide basis 

means higher utilisation. When fleet returns from  
a customer at the end of a contract, the speed with 
which it can be put back on contract again is a 
major determinant of profitability and returns on 
capital. Fleet will find new work far more quickly  
if it can address the total pool of world demand 
than if it is only able to operate in a single region. 

By the time customers have decided they really do 
have to spend money on temporary power, they 
generally want it as fast as possible. Being able to 
offer very fast delivery of large amounts of generating 
capacity is a significant competitive advantage. Small 
operators cannot afford to keep 250-300MW of 
capacity (say, £30-£40 million of capital) sitting idle 
waiting for the next job. Because the equipment used 
in Power Projects is also used in the Local business 
fleet, we manage our large generators as a common 
global pool. Between the Local business and Power 
Projects, we currently have a fleet of over 6,000 of 
these large generators, and can deploy hundreds of 
MW of capacity from our various businesses around 
the world on very short notice. A good example of 
our speed of delivery would be the power contract in 
Japan where, in response to the Fukushima disaster, 
we were able to deliver and commission 200MW 
across 2 sites within 70 days of the contract signature; 
most of our competitors would find it difficult to 
deploy that amount of fleet in that lead time.

 – The management of risk is a critical part of our 

business; we place tens of millions of pounds worth  
of capital assets in countries where the operational, 
political and payment risks are high – sometimes  
very high. While we take great care to mitigate these 
risks, it is probable that sooner or later we will have  
a loss of either receivables or equipment, or both. 
However, because of our scale, such a loss would not 
imperil the Group as a whole. We treat our risks in 
the same way investors do: we minimise the risk of 
losses doing material damage to the business by 
having a broad portfolio of exposures, none of them 
correlated. For smaller companies, their portfolio of 
country risk is inevitably much more concentrated; 
the probability of loss in any one country for smaller 
companies is no less than it is for us, but their ability 
to withstand the consequences of a large loss is. Scale 
therefore allows us to deal in markets where others 
might, with good reason, fear to tread.

 – Returns from rental businesses are heavily 

dependent upon the underlying capital cost of the 
rental fleet. Clearly, large buyers should get better 
terms than small buyers and, since we are by far  
the largest purchaser of power generation for rental 
applications in the world, we believe that we are 
advantaged in this area, and we estimate that our 
capital cost/MW is typically 20-40% lower than 
competitors’. The fact that we have the scale to 
justify having our own manufacturing and design 
facilities also means that we can source equipment 
which is better suited to our precise requirements, 
and more cheaply, than smaller operators. 

In summary, a large operator will have lower volatility 
of demand, better lifetime utilisation of equipment,  
be better able to respond to customer requirements, 
and will have a lower capital cost per MW of fleet. In 
Power Projects, bigger is better – and Aggreko is now 
much larger than any other competitor in this market.

ManageMent oF reSourceS

This section describes how we manage our key 
resources to deliver the strategy outlined above. 

people
Aggreko has 5,685 permanent employees working 
around the world and they are united by a unique 
culture. Phrases such as ‘customer focused’, ‘can-do’, 
‘completely dependable’ capture part of the ethos of 
Aggreko employees. We have captured our culture in 
three words: performance, passion and pace. This culture 
has developed through the years and derives from the 
fact that, very often, Aggreko is helping people and 
businesses to recover from, or to avoid, emergencies or 
disruption. Customers are often dependent on Aggreko 
people to keep things running, sometimes under very 
difficult circumstances. Our people are highly skilled, and 
many of them have years of experience. They are used 
to reacting quickly, getting the job done professionally 
and safely, and they respond well in a crisis.

Taking into account the environment in which we 
operate, it is essential that our people are properly 
trained, given the correct level of responsibility and 
accountability to make decisions on a timely basis, and 
are remunerated and incentivised appropriately. Each 
part of the business has training programmes in place 
to ensure that our employees have the necessary skills 
to perform their roles to a high level. This training  
is a combination of on-the-job learning and specific 
skill development through training courses. A major 
component of this training is related to Environmental 
Health and Safety (EH&S) issues. More detail of our 
EH&S policies is given on pages 47 to 53.

Aggreko continues to improve the capability of its 
people in line with the growth of the Company. The 
talent management system and succession planning, 
which was introduced five years ago now covers around 
300 managers. This includes individual assessments of 
our key staff resulting in individual development plans 
to increase our internal talent. We have started to 
implement a Learning Management Solution which 
will help us to improve, manage and monitor training 
globally. Since 2008, we have trained over 900 people 
in continuous improvement techniques.

The Company’s remuneration policy, which is 
described on pages 70 to 87, is aligned with the key 
objectives of growing earnings and delivering strong 
returns on capital. To underline this point, the Group’s 
long-term incentive scheme and many senior managers’ 
annual bonuses are based on targets set against both 
earnings per share and returns on capital employed.  
We have a policy of encouraging employees at all levels 
to own shares in the Company, and over 2,100 people 
participate in the Sharesave programme; around 160 
participate in the Long-term Incentive Plan.

phySical aSSetS
Many rental businesses provide standard products  
to their customers. The car or hammer-drill you  
rent is the same as the one you can buy. Aggreko’s 
equipment is different: manufacturers of generators 
and temperature control equipment generally design 
their product to be installed and stay in the same 
location for its working life. For our business, however, 
this equipment has to be lifted and transported hundreds 
of times during its working life. It must be able to work 
in extreme conditions – the same generator might be 
working in –40°C on an oil rig in Russia one week, 
and in +50°C in the Saudi Arabian desert the next. 
Designing and building equipment that can do this, 
while remaining safe, quiet, reliable and compliant 
with environmental and safety regulations, is a key 
skill of Aggreko. Unusually for a rental company, we 
design and manufacture most of our equipment and 
our specialist in-house teams based in Dumbarton, 
Scotland understand intimately the requirements of 
the environment in which the fleet operates. Not only 
do we have industry-leading equipment, we also have 
a great deal of it – £2,331 million worth at original 
cost as at 31 December 2012.

Unlike most other rental businesses, we have a policy 
of keeping equipment for its useful life. This gives us  
a powerful incentive to maintain it well, which gives 
it both longer life and better reliability. We have a large 
number of skilled engineers, well-equipped workshops 
and rigorous servicing regimes to ensure that our 
equipment is maintained to the highest standards.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 
Taking well-judged fleet investment decisions is a  
key part of Aggreko’s management task. All material 
investments are judged by reference to internal rates 
of return, and we monitor utilisation daily. Fleet is 
frequently moved between countries to optimise 
utilisation, and our ERP system gives us the ability  
to manage our fleet on a real time basis across the 
world which, in turn, will enable us to optimise  
its deployment and returns.

One measure of how we are doing in terms of 
managing our physical assets is the return on average 
capital employed. This measure is one of the key 
performance indicators shown on pages 26 to 28.

Financial reSourceS
The Group maintains sufficient facilities to meet its 
normal funding requirements over the medium term. 
These facilities are in the form of committed bank 
facilities arranged on a bilateral basis with a number  
of international banks and private placement notes. 
The financial covenants attached to these facilities  
are that EBITDA should be no less than 4 times 
interest, and net debt should be no more than 3 times 
EBITDA. The Group does not consider that these 
covenants are restrictive to its operations.

Supply chain
During 2012, Aggreko’s capital expenditure totalled 
£440 million. Of this, over 70% was assembled by our 
manufacturing facility which is based in Dumbarton, 
Scotland. The remainder of the capital expenditure 
was sourced direct from third party manufacturers to 
Aggreko specification and managed by our supply chain 
team in Dumbarton. Aggreko’s supply chain capability 
in managing suppliers of both finished product and 
components for assembly is a key part of our business 
capability. We have long-standing relationships with 
many of our suppliers, notably Cummins which supplies 
a number of engine ranges and alternators. We also 
have sourcing relationships in countries such as China 
and India where we work very closely with suppliers  
to ensure that the components produced comply with 
Aggreko’s strict quality standards.

25

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportkey perForMance indicatorS

The Group uses a large number of performance 
indicators to measure day to day operational and 
financial activity in the business. Most of these are 
studied on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. A well-
developed management accounts pack, including 
profit and loss statements as well as key ratios related  
to capital productivity and customer satisfaction 
scores, are prepared for each profit centre monthly.  
In addition, every general manager in the business 
receives a weekly and monthly pack of indicators 
which is the basis of regular operational meetings.

There are five Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) 
which we use as measures of the longer-term health  
of the business and which we use to monitor progress 
in implementing the Group’s strategic objectives. 
They are:

  – Safety
 – Earnings per share
 – Return on average capital employed
 – Customer loyalty
 – Staff turnover

SaFety
Our business involves the frequent movement of 
heavy equipment which, in its operation, produces 
lethal voltages and contains thousands of litres of fuel. 
Rigorous safety processes are absolutely essential if we 
are to avoid accidents which could cause injury to 
people and damage to property and reputation. Safety 
processes are also a basic benchmark of operational 
discipline and there is, in our view, a close correlation 
between a well-run business and a safe business.

The main KPI we use to measure safety performance  
is the internationally recognised Frequency Accident 
Rating (‘FAR’) which is calculated as the number of 
lost time accidents multiplied by 200,000 (being the 
base for 100 employees working 40 hours per week,  
50 weeks per year) divided by the total hours worked. 
A lost time accident is a work related injury/illness 
that results in an employee’s inability to work the  
day after the initial injury/illness.

The Group’s FAR for 2012 was 0.94. This compares 
favourably to the benchmark of 1.4 reported for  
US rental and leasing industries published by the  
US Department of Labor in 2011, and was an 
improvement on the 0.98 achieved in 2011. 

26

However, behind the numbers lies the fact that 2012 
has been a traumatic year for us from a safety point of 
view. For the first time in fifty years, an employee was 
killed on one of our job sites; this was an avoidable 
accident and was caused when a third party contractor 
was lifting a piece of our equipment. Our employee 
was killed when a chain snapped during a lifting 
operation. In the Yemen, two contractors working  
on one of our sites were shot dead when the site was 
attacked by insurgents. Our thoughts and condolences 
go out to their families, and we are committed to 
increasing the rigour with which we implement our 
safety regimes which have delivered a safe working 
environment for our employees and contractors for 
many years.

Further discussion of Health & Safety matters can  
be found in this report in the Principal Risks and 
Uncertainties section (pages 29 to 33).

earningS per Share
Measuring the creation or destruction of shareholder 
value is a complex and much-debated topic. We believe 
that EPS, while not perfect, is an accessible measure 
of the returns we are generating as a Group for our 
shareholders, and also has the merit of being auditable 
and well understood. So, for the Group as a whole, 
the key measure of short-term financial performance  
is diluted earnings per share pre-exceptional items 
(‘Adjusted EPS’). Adjusted EPS is calculated based  
on profit attributable to equity shareholders (adjusted 
to exclude exceptional items) divided by the diluted 
weighted average number of ordinary shares ranking for 
dividend during the relevant period. EPS for the year 
was 16% ahead of the previous year and continues  
the significant growth in this measure since 2007.

return on average capital eMployed
In a business as capital intensive as Aggreko’s, 
profitability alone is a poor measure of performance:  
it is perfectly possible to be generating good margins, 
but poor value for shareholders, if assets (and in 
particular, fleet) are being allocated incorrectly.  
We believe that, by focusing on return on average 
capital employed (‘ROCE’), we measure both margin 
performance and capital productivity, and we make 
sure that business unit managers are tending their 
balance sheets as well as their profit and loss accounts. 
We calculate ROCE by dividing operating profit for  
a period by the average of the net operating assets  
as at 1 January, 30 June and 31 December.

ROCE was as follows:

28.0

29.0

28.5

ROCE in 2012 was four percentage points lower  
than 2011 at 24.4% with this reduction mainly being 
due to lower trading margins and increased levels of 
working capital in our Power Projects business, related 
to slower paying customers and the resultant increase 
in debtors and the provision for doubtful debtors.  
In addition the ROCE was impacted by the year one 
impact of the Poit acquisition. At 24.4%, ROCE is 
still at a high and, in our view, very attractive level. 

The importance of ROCE as a measure for Aggreko  
is illustrated by the fact that it is included along with 
earnings per share as the basis for the Company’s 
Long-term Incentive Plan (details can be found  
on pages 81 to 83).

cuStoMer loyalty
The Group deals every year with thousands of 
customers and we have developed a process by which 
we can objectively measure the performance of our 
business units, not only in financial terms but also  
the extent to which they are making customers feel 
inclined to return to us the next time they need the 
services we provide. We believe that near real-time 
measurement of our performance, as seen by our 
customers, gives us visibility of operational issues  
which might otherwise take months to emerge through 
the profit and loss account. Accordingly, we use the 
Satmetrix system whereby we send customers an email 
immediately after a contract closes asking them to fill  
out a detailed questionnaire about how they thought  
we performed. This data is then collated to conform to 
the same management structure as our profit and loss 
accounts so that, in monthly management accounts, we 
see not only a team’s financial performance but also their 
operational performance as measured by how well their 
customers think they have done for the same period.

These questionnaires generate enormous amounts  
of data about how customers view our processes and 
performance and, in order to distil this down into  
a single usable indicator, we track a ratio called the  
Net Promoter Score (NPS). Broadly speaking, the 
NPS measures the proportion of our customers who 
think we do an excellent job against those who think 
we are average or worse. In 2012, approximately 21,000 
questionnaires were sent out and we received around 
5,000 replies: we believe that the scale of the response 
we get enables us to have confidence in this KPI.

As well as measuring staff turnover, the Group carries 
out a regular global opinion survey, conducted by an 
independent third party, in which every employee is 
invited to say what they think about Aggreko. The 
results from the last global opinion survey conducted 
in 2011 put Aggreko in the top quartile of employee 
satisfaction when compared with peer-group 
companies. Despite over 1,000 new people coming  
into the business, the feedback from 3,600 responses 
received was overwhelmingly positive and an 
improvement in most areas on the previous survey. 
Aggreko continues to have a strong culture with 
highly committed people, demonstrated by:

 – 91% of the respondents said they enjoyed their work;
 – 90% were proud to work for Aggreko; and
 – 84% found Aggreko an exciting place to work.

Across the Group, our NPS over the last five years was:

that our Net Promoter Score in 2012 was amongst the 
top five highest companies benchmarked worldwide  
in the business-to-business segment.

StaFF turnover
In a service business such as Aggreko, it is the 
attitude, skill and motivation of our staff which  
makes the difference between mediocre and excellent 
performance. Staff retention therefore is a reasonable 
proxy for how employees feel about our Company.  
We monitor staff turnover which is measured as  
the number of employees who left the Group (other 
than through redundancy) during the period as a 
proportion of the total average employees during the 
period. Staff turnover has decreased this year and is at 
its lowest over the past five years, analysed as follows:

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012principal riSkS  
and uncertaintieS

In the day-to-day operations of the Group we face 
many risks and uncertainties. Our job is to mitigate 
and manage these risks, and the Board has developed 
a formal risk management process to support this. Set 
out below are the principal risks and uncertainties 
which we believe could adversely affect us, potentially 
impacting our employees, operations, revenue, profits, 
cash flows or assets. This list is not exhaustive – there 
are many things that could go wrong in an operation 
as large and geographically diverse as ours – and the 
list might change as something that seems immaterial 
today assumes greater importance tomorrow.

The foundation upon which the Group’s risk 
management process is built is the Group Risk 
Register. This is compiled based on input from the 
businesses across the world as well as a top-down 
review by members of the Executive Committee and 
Board. This forms the basis of the mitigation strategies 
put in place for all the key identified risks. In the 
section below, we have picked from the Risk Register 
those items we currently consider to be our most 
important risks. The order in which they are  
presented is not significant.

econoMic conditionS
There is a link in our business between demand for 
our services and levels of economic activity; this link 
is particularly evident in the Local business. If GDP 
growth goes negative, demand for rental equipment  
is likely to shrink even faster and this impact is likely 
to be multiplied by pricing weakness at times of low 
demand. As we have experienced in recent years, the 
operational gearing inherent in our business models 
means that variations in demand can lead to much 
larger variations in profitability. We also have some 
businesses which, by their nature, are exposed to 
particular sectors – for instance, our Australian 
business is highly dependent on mining activity, our 
Singapore business has a high proportion of shipping 
activity, and a material proportion of our North 
American business comes from upstream and 
downstream oil and gas.

We mitigate this risk in a number of ways. First, 
having a global footprint is a great advantage because 
we can move rental fleet from lower-growth economies 
to higher-growth environments; for example, in 2011, 
we moved fleet out of Western Europe into Russia to 
support its rapid growth. Secondly, we try to ensure 
that, as they grow, our businesses build a customer-base 
which is as diverse as possible, to minimise exposure 
to any single sector. In Brazil we continue to invest  
in temperature control to reduce our sectoral exposure 
to offshore oil and gas; while in South Africa we are 
expanding our geographic footprint to enable us to 
develop under-penetrated sectors such as shipping. 
Thirdly, in the event of a more generalised downturn 
in demand, as we experienced in 2009, we can quickly 
reduce capital expenditure which was demonstrated by 
our new fleet investment being £107 million lower in 
2009 than 2008. Given the large depreciation element 
in the business’ cost base (£236 million in 2012), 
reducing capital expenditure to a level close to 
depreciation makes the business very cash generative 
which, in turn, reduces debt and interest cost. 

Another economic factor to consider is the price of 
fuel, which is usually the single biggest element in the 
cost of running a generator. Over the last five years, 
the price of fuel has been volatile, with the Brent 
Blend price1 ranging from $35 to $145, but this does 
not seem to have had any noticeable impact on 
people’s willingness to rent; people rent generators 
because they need power, not because it is a cheap 
way of generating electricity. The major impact of  
the oil-price on our business is that, at times when  
it has been high it has produced huge wealth in oil-
producing countries which has been re-cycled into 
infrastructure investment and this, in turn, stimulated 
demand for our services. If the oil-price is persistently 
low – by which we mean under $50 per barrel – we 
would expect to see an adverse impact on our business 
in a number of oil-producing countries.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportprincipal riSkS and uncertaintieS CONTINUED

Generally, we find that Governments are keen to 
behave in a fair way to suppliers of critical infrastructure, 
such as Aggreko. In the last five years, we have had two 
incidents, both of which were subsequently resolved, 
where our equipment was seized by authorities as a result 
of tax or import duty disputes. Neither of these were 
material to a Group of our size, but either could have 
been fatal to a small company. Both are indicative  
of the fact that we operate in countries where the 
behaviour of the authorities can be unpredictable,  
and not always in line with contractual commitments.

The quantum of political risk faced by the business 
has grown in recent years with the rapid expansion  
of our Power Projects business, but the benefit of  
scale is that the risk becomes more diversified.

Failure to collect payMentS  
or to recover aSSetS
In practice, the biggest risk is non-payment. The vast 
majority of the contracts into which the Group enters 
are small relative to the size of the Group and, if a 
customer fails to pay a debt, this is dealt with in the 
normal course. However, the Group has some large 
contracts in developing countries where payment 
practices can be unpredictable. The truth is that, with 
contracts in around 100 countries, there are always 
two or three large customers who are misbehaving  
as far as payment is concerned, and we constantly 
monitor the risk profile and debtor position of such 
contracts, deploying a variety of techniques to mitigate 
the risks of delayed or non-payment. This mitigation 
will vary from customer to customer, but our armoury 
includes obtaining advance payments, letters of credit, 
bank guarantees and, in some cases, insurance against 
losses. As a result of the rigorous approach to risk 
management, the Group has never had a significant 
loss although we have had some very near misses. 
While the scale in our Power Projects business makes 
it less likely that any bad debt would be material to 
the Group’s balance sheet, the increased number of 
contracts and countries in which we operate increases 
the likelihood of a loss and makes it highly likely that, 
at some stage, a major customer will default or prevent 
us from repatriating assets.

Exchange rate fluctuations can have a material impact 
on our performance reflected in Sterling: the Group’s 
asset values, earnings and cash flows are influenced by 
a wide variety of currencies owing to the geographic 
diversity of the Group’s customers and areas of 
operation. Around 70% of the Group’s revenue and 
costs are denominated in US Dollars; the next largest 
currency exposure is to the Euro which accounts  
for around 6% of our revenues and costs, and the 
Australian Dollar which accounts also for 6% of revenue 
and costs with the Brazilian Real accounting for 3%. 
The relative value of currencies can fluctuate widely 
and could have a material impact on the Group’s asset 
values, costs, earnings, debt levels and cash flows, 
expressed in Sterling. We manage the transactional 
exchange impact through hedging and denomination of 
borrowings but we do not try and manage translational 
exchange impact. In terms of translational exchange,  
a 5 cent movement in the Sterling/Dollar exchange 
rate had an impact in 2012 of around £33 million  
on revenue and £9 million on trading profit.

political riSk
This section should be read in conjunction with the 
subsequent section on failure to collect payments. The 
Group operates in around 100 countries, many in Africa, 
Asia and Latin America. In some jurisdictions there 
are significant risks of political instability which can 
result in civil unrest, equipment seizure, renegotiation 
or nullification of existing agreements, changes in laws, 
taxation policies or currency restrictions. Any of these 
could have a damaging effect on the profitability of our 
operations in a country. 

Prior to undertaking a contract in a new country,  
we carry out a risk assessment process to consider  
risks to our people, to assets and to payments.  
By far the greatest exposure to political risk is in the 
Power Projects business. In all cases, the safety of our 
employees is always our first concern, and if the level 
of risk is considered unacceptable we will decline to 
participate in any contract; where there are potential 
risks, we develop detailed security plans to ensure the 
safety of our employees. In terms of asset risks, the 
Group uses a wide range of tools and techniques to 
manage risk, including insurances, bonds, guarantees 
and cash advances. Power Projects’ financial exposures 
are monitored by the Board on a monthly basis and 
action plans to address assets, payments or tax 
exposures are reviewed.

30

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012The risk of non-payment of a receivable presents a 
particular risk for a public company such as Aggreko, 
because our customers are rarely attuned to our 
obligations to update the market regularly on our 
performance. While we seek to ensure that no single 
country could cause the Company material medium  
or long-term damage, failure to collect a major debt 
could result in an unexpected, and possibly significant, 
reduction in our profits in any given reporting period. 
The impact of failure to collect a debt is twofold; first  
we make a provision or write-off the debt, and secondly, 
we lose future revenue and profit. We continually make 
judgements as to whether we need to book a provision 
against particular debts and, if the debts are material, 
they could cause us to miss a forecast and lead to a 
negative share price reaction. Unless a customer actually 
seizes equipment, deciding whether a receivable will be 
collected or not is more art than science and there have 
been several occasions when we have had to make 
difficult judgements as to when to provide for a debt. 
The potential for volatility was illustrated during 
2012. During the year the bad debt provision in  
Power Projects increased by £25 million reflecting  
the heightened risk of non-payment in two countries.

Even though we have an ever broader portfolio of 
contracts, and therefore a more diversified portfolio  
of risk, we caution investors that the current high 
returns on capital that we earn, particularly in our 
Power Projects business, are in effect ‘risk-unadjusted’. 
So far, no customer has behaved badly enough to 
adjust them but, as we repeatedly tell people, it is 
probably only a matter of time before they do.

eventS
The business is, by nature, driven by events. People 
hire generators because some event or need makes it 
essential. Aggreko’s revenues, cashflows and profits 
can be influenced significantly by external events as 
evidenced by the Japanese tsunami or by the contracts 
to supply power to the military camps in the Middle 
East. These events are, by their nature, difficult to 
predict and, combined with the high operational gearing 
inherent in our business, can lead to volatility in trading 
outcomes. By developing the business globally, as well as 
by increasing and broadening the Group’s revenue base, 
the impact of a single event on the overall Group will 
reduce. Additionally, the ability to move equipment 
around the world allows the Group to adjust to changes 
in utilisation caused by any changes in demand.

Failure to conduct BuSineSS dealingS 
With integrity and honeSty
Some of the countries in which the Group operates 
have a reputation for corruption and, given that many 
of our contracts involve large sums of money, we are 
at risk of being accused of bribery and other unethical 
behaviour. The first and most important way of 
avoiding this risk is to ensure that people, both inside 
and outside the Group, know that Aggreko does not 
engage in, and will not tolerate, bribery, corruption  
or unethical behaviour. We have a strict Ethics 
Policy, a copy of which is available on our website 
www.aggreko.com. Rather than just publishing it,  
we get every employee to sign it when they join the 
business; every consultant acting on our behalf agrees 
in writing to abide by it, and every consultancy or 
agency agreement has an explicit term stating that  
the agreement will be terminated immediately if the 
consultant or agent does not abide by our policy. Last 
year we rolled out a confidential, multi-lingual hotline, 
available worldwide, which allows any employee  
who has any ethical concerns to report them to an 
independent third party on an anonymous basis.

While the risk of unethical behaviour can take  
many forms, the most significant risk we run in this 
area is the behaviour of third party sales agents and 
consultants in our Power Projects business. Given the 
ephemeral nature of this business – there might be  
no business for us in a country for five years and then 
suddenly a power crisis might present an opportunity 
to supply 100MW for six months – it is not practical 
to maintain full-time salespeople in each of the  
100 countries where we do, or could conceivably  
do, business. Instead, we make agreements with 
organisations which know a country well, can keep 
our services on the radar of decision makers, and keep 
us briefed on opportunities. When an opportunity 
arises, we send in our own salespeople to work with 
them. These consultants do not get paid a retainer 
and may receive no compensation other than a ‘thank 
you’ and a pat on the back for years; the reason why 
they are prepared to do this is because when we do 
win a contract they are well rewarded. And they work 
hard for the money, often taking responsibility for the 
supply of critical elements of the project such as 
finding power-plant sites, providing administration 
and technical services, labour and security. The fact 
that they are only paid on results might be seen to 
raise the risk that they are tempted to indulge in 

31

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Report 
principal riSkS and uncertaintieS CONTINUED

bribery to secure their income. How do we protect 
against this? In our view, it is all down to the choice 
of the sales consultant and, to this end, we carry  
out comprehensive due diligence on all potential 
candidates. Before we appoint an agent or consultant, 
we use specialist third-party investigators to conduct 
comprehensive background checks on them; these 
checks include obtaining bank references and searches 
for previous records of inappropriate behaviour or  
of any family or other links with the customer or 
government. Once a sales consultant has been 
appointed, we keep a close eye on them. Payments 
made to agents and sales consultants are subject  
to audit by internal auditors to ensure they are in 
accordance with the agreements, and we have a  
full-time Compliance Officer who continuously 
monitors our dealings with sales consultants and 
agents. In addition, we carry out regular training  
of managers and salespeople who deal in at-risk 
jurisdictions and, from time to time, we conduct 
independent reviews of contract files. We also 
structure our sales consultancy agreements to allow  
us to terminate any agreement immediately and 
without compensation in the event that we suspect 
any inappropriate behaviour. Given that these sales 
consultants have much to gain by working for us,  
this is a powerful incentive to behave.

We model our compliance regime around the 
requirements of the UK Bribery Act and the US 
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). A sub 
committee of the main Board was formed in 2011, the 
Board Ethics Committee, which is composed entirely 
of Non-executive Directors, who meet to approve  
our ethics-related policies and procedures, and the 
compliance thereof. A report from the Committee  
is set out in the Annual Report and Accounts.

SaFety
The business of the Group involves transporting, 
installing and operating large amounts of heavy 
equipment, which produces lethal voltages or very 
high pressure air and involves the use of millions  
of litres of fuel which could cause serious damage  
to the environment. Every day, we manage the risks 
associated with this business, and we have carefully 
designed procedures to minimise the risk of an 
accident. If these procedures are not followed 
however, accidents can happen and might result in 
injury to people, claims against the Group, damage  
to its reputation and its chances of winning and 
retaining contracts.

The Group has a proactive operational culture that  
puts health and safety at the top of its agenda in order 
to reduce the likelihood of an accident. We work very 
closely with our customers, employees and Health & 
Safety authorities, to evaluate and assess major risks to 
ensure that health and safety procedures are rigorously 
followed. The Group has developed health and safety 
KPIs which are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis.

coMpetition 
Aggreko operates in a highly competitive business.  
The barriers to entry are low, particularly in the Local 
business and, in every major market in which we 
operate, competitors are constantly entering or leaving 
the market. We welcome this competition as it keeps us 
sharp and also helps to grow the overall rental market 
which, in many countries, is under-developed.

We monitor competitor activity carefully but, 
ultimately, our only protection from suffering material 
damage to our business by competitors is to work 
relentlessly to provide our customers with a high 
quality and differentiated service proposition at  
a price that they believe provides good value.

32

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 
product technology and  
eMiSSionS regulation
The majority of Aggreko’s fleet is diesel-powered, and 
some of our equipment is over ten years old. As part of 
the increasing focus on environmental issues, countries 
continue to introduce legislation related to permissible 
levels of emissions and this has the potential to affect 
our business. Our engines are sourced from major 
manufacturers who, in turn, have to develop products 
which conform to legislation, so we are dependent on 
them being able to respond to legislation. We also have 
to be aware that when we buy a generator we want  
to be able to rent it for its useful life and to be able  
to move it between countries.

To mitigate these risks, we adopt a number of strategies. 
First, we retain considerable in-house expertise on 
engine technology and emissions – so we have a good 
understanding of these issues. Secondly, we have very 
close relationships with engine manufacturers so we get 
good forward visibility of their product development 
pipeline. When new products appear – particularly 
those with improved emissions performance – we aim 
to introduce them into the fleet as quickly as possible  
to ensure that, over time, our fleet evolves to ever-
better levels of emissions performance. An example  
of this is the significant investment we have made  
in the development of our gas-fuelled technology in 
recent years: these engines have significantly reduced 
emissions compared with other fuel types. Gas powered 
generation now accounts for over 1,000MW of our 
fleet. Thirdly, if emissions-compliance becomes such an 
issue that it begins to impact our business in a material 
way in some territories, our global footprint will be a 
major advantage as it gives us numerous options for the 
re-deployment of our fleet. An example of this is in our 
North American business where, by the end of 2013, 
almost 50% of the fleet will be either Tier 3 or Tier 4 
compliant, with the previous fleet being re-deployed 
to other parts of the Group. 

people
Aggreko knows that it is people who make the 
difference between great performance and mediocre 
performance. This is true at all levels within the 
business. We are keenly aware of the need to attract 
the right people, establish them in their roles and 
manage their development. As a framework for people 
development, we have in place a talent management 
programme which covers most of the management 
population. Under this programme, we try to identify 
the development needs of each individual from the 
outset, as well as identifying successor candidates  
for senior roles, which has been demonstrated in our 
recent reorganisation where internal candidates have 
filled two of the open Regional Executive Director 
roles. We also have an ongoing relationship with  
one of the world’s leading business schools, IMD,  
to deliver a tailor-made Group-wide management 
education programme.

Another risk is that competitors seek to recruit our 
key personnel. For many years, Aggreko has been a 
target for recruitment and we manage this on a daily 
basis. We actually regard it as a compliment that so 
many companies want to recruit our people. The main 
mitigation for this is to make sure that people enjoy 
working for Aggreko, that they feel that they are 
recognised, cared for, and have challenging and 
interesting jobs. Reward is also an important part of 
the equation, and there can be little doubt that our 
policy of rewarding people well for good performance, 
and of having a successful Long-term Incentive Plan, 
has acted as a powerful retention tool.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ ReportrevieW oF trading

As reported, Group revenues at £1,583 million  
(2011: £1,396 million) were 13% higher than 2011, 
while Group trading profit of £381 million (2011: 
£338 million) was also 13% ahead of 2011. This 
delivered a Group trading margin of 24% (2011: 
24%). Underlying revenues and trading profit 
increased by 14% and 6% respectively. On the same 
basis trading margin decreased to 24% (2011: 26%).

Group profit before tax increased by 11% to  
£360 million (2011: £324 million), and profit after tax 
increased by 15% to £266 million (2011: £232 million) 
reflecting the reduction in the effective tax rate from 
28.5% to 26.0%. Diluted earnings per share grew  
16% to 100.40 pence (2011: 86.76 pence). Return on 
capital employed, measured as operating profit divided 
by average net operating assets, decreased by four 
percentage points to 24% (2011: 28%) due to lower 
trading margins and increased working capital in our 
Power Projects business and the impact of the Poit 
Energia acquisition. The ratio of revenue (excluding 
pass-through fuel) to average gross rental assets was  
in line with last year at 71%.

The movement in exchange rates in the year had the 
effect of decreasing revenue by £6 million and trading 
profit by £1 million. Pass-through fuel accounted for 
£40 million (2011: £108 million) of reported revenue 
of £1,583 million. 

Fleet capital expenditure for the year was £415 million 
(2011: £392 million) which represented 94% of total 
capital expenditure. This fleet spend was 1.9 times  
the depreciation charge in the period, with part of  
the year-on-year increase accounted for by equipment 
purchased to service the London Olympics contract, 
which, following the Games, has been put to use in 
the wider business. The fleet spend was evenly split 
between the Local and Power Projects businesses. In 
addition, we acquired £47 million of property, plant 
and equipment as part of the Poit Energia acquisition. 
The total cash paid in the year for this acquisition  
was £136 million.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Net debt of £593 million at 31 December 2012 was  
£228 million higher than the same period last year 
driven by: the acquisition of Poit Energia (£136 million); 
higher capital expenditure and increased levels of 
working capital in Power Projects. These increased 
outflows were in part offset by higher EBITDA (Earnings 
Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation). 

earlier than we anticipated and, accordingly, we agreed 
with the vendors that we would terminate the earn 
out period early in return for a payment of £3 million. 
This has allowed us to move ahead faster with the 
operational integration of the businesses; we have 
made good progress on the integration and anticipate 
its completion by the end of the first quarter of 2013. 

acquiSition oF poit energia
On 16 April 2012 we completed the acquisition  
of the entire share capital of Companhia Brasileira  
de Locacoes (‘Poit Energia’), a leading provider  
of temporary power solutions in South America.  
The initial transaction price of £138 million  
(R$404 million) was made up of £105 million 
consideration payable to the owners of Poit Energia, 
plus £33 million of debt to be paid off by Aggreko  
on behalf of Poit Energia. In addition to the initial 
transaction price of £138 million, there was a further 
amount of up to £20 million conditional on the 
business achieving stretching performance targets  
for the year to 31 December 2012. We completed  
the acquisition and legal merger of the two businesses 

The acquisition of Poit Energia supports Aggreko’s 
strategy of expanding its Local businesses in fast 
growing economies; it strengthens Aggreko’s business  
in South America, both in terms of geographic 
footprint and in accessing sectors to which  
Aggreko previously had limited exposure.

the case of our North American business adjusts only for 
the impact of currency translation, increased by 16% to 
$482 million and trading profit by 32% to $105 million. 
Trading margin improved from 19% to 22%. 

Rental revenues grew by 15% and services revenues 
were up 19%. Power rental revenues were up 31% 
with strong performances in construction, events and 
oil & gas. Temperature control revenues decreased  
by 1%, largely due to lower volumes in our Cooling 
Towers business, with the prior year containing some 
large projects which did not recur in 2012. Oil-free 
compressed air rental revenues grew by 2%. 

Most geographic areas of the North American business 
achieved strong base business growth over the same 
period last year, with performances in our Canada  
and North business units being particularly strong.

The North American business has taken significant 
steps in upgrading its diesel generator fleet with the 
latest emissions technology. The next stage of this has 
begun and we started taking delivery of the first Tier 4 
interim engines during 2012. By the end of 2013, almost 
50% of the fleet will be Tier 3 or Tier 4 compliant.

(i.e. excluding London Olympics and the impact of 
currency) revenues increased by 5% and trading profit 
increased 4%. On the same basis trading margin was 
in line with the prior year at 13%.

Revenues in Europe, on an underlying basis, were 3% 
up on the prior year. Rental revenues increased by 1% 
and services revenues increased by 6%. Within rental 
revenues, power increased by 3% but temperature 
control decreased by 4%. Area performance continued 
to be mixed with increases in the UK, Spain and Italy 
partially offset by decreases in Germany and France. 
From a sector perspective we saw increases in oil & 
gas and petrochemical & refining but decreases in 
contracting and construction. On an underlying  
basis trading profits increased by 36% and trading 
margin increased from 6% to 8% mainly driven  
by the UK business which benefited from London 
Olympics related work.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 
Revenues in the Middle East & Developing Europe  
of AED843 million (£145 million) were 8% ahead of 
the prior year on an underlying basis. Rental revenues 
increased by 10%, with power increasing by 12% but 
temperature control decreasing by 13%, albeit off a 
small base, reflecting the off hire of some large cooling 
projects in the UAE. Services revenues increased by 
4%. Trading margins fell by 3pp to 19% due to the 
absence in 2012 of some large projects which typically 
attract better margins than our day-to-day business. 
We saw good growth in Oman and Saudi Arabia and 
benefitted from an emergency contract in Cyprus. In 
terms of our newer geographies our business in Russia 
continued to grow with over 160MW on rent at the 
end of the year; we are also continuing to build our 
businesses in Iraq and Eastern Europe.

Aggreko International’s Local business operates  
in 23 countries across Africa, Asia, Australasia and 
Latin America. This business had a strong year with 
underlying revenues (excluding currency translation, 
Asian Games in 2011 and the Poit Energia acquisition 
in 2012) increasing by 20% and trading profit by 18%. 
On the same underlying basis trading margin was in 
line with last year at 16%.

On an underlying basis rental revenues increased 20% 
and services revenues increased 18%. Within rental 
revenue, power increased 20% and temperature 
control increased 19%. Revenues in nearly all 
geographies increased as compared with the prior  
year, most notably in our more mature business in 
Australia Pacific where revenue increased 27%, driven 
by a strong performance in the mining sector, and  
in Brazil where revenue (excluding the Poit Energia 
acquisition) increased 34% driven by the mining, 
utilities and events sectors. In 2012 we continued our 
expansion into faster growing economies and opened 
18 new locations: 5 in South America; 2 in Central 
America; 6 in Asia; 4 in Africa; and one in Australia. 

In addition, through the acquisition of Poit Energia, 
the international Local Business gained 8 new locations.

1   The International Power Projects business has been renamed  

as the Power Projects business.

Our Power Projects business grew underlying revenues, 
in constant currency and excluding pass-through fuel, 
by 15% to $1,012 million. Trading margin, however, 
decreased from 39% to 33%, for three reasons. First, 
we increased bad debt provisions by $39 million; 
second, mobilisation costs on our large Mozambique 
contract were unusually high; and third, we have seen  
a continued reduction in revenues from our Military 
and Japanese contracts, which typically attract higher 
margins. As a consequence of these three factors, 
trading profit decreased by 1%; excluding the impact  
of the increased bad debt provision, trading profit 
increased by 10%.

As we have said before, cash collection is a key 
challenge in our Power Projects business. Unpredictable 
and inconsistent customer payment behaviour is a 
feature of the Power Projects business and is a key factor 
that we consider in determining our bad debt provision. 
Although we take measures to reduce our exposures, we 
continue to take a conservative view when it comes to 
providing for overdue debt. The increase in the bad debt 
provision in 2012 year was principally in respect of two 
customers; they are not disputing the payment liability, 
and we are receiving cash, but more slowly than we 
would like. At 31 December 2012 bad debt provisions 
amounted to around 26% of our 2012 Power Projects 
gross debtors (2011: 17%).

In 2012, we secured 23 new contracts in 13 countries 
and 1,029MW of new work, comprising 280MW in 
Asia, 606MW in Africa & Middle East and 143MW 
in Latin America. Revenues from our gas-powered 
fleet continued to grow strongly with the number of 
MW of gas on rent increasing on average by nearly 
80% year-on-year. At the start of 2013, our order 
book stood at almost 37,000MW-months, an increase 
of 3% over the prior year and the equivalent of  
12 months’ revenue at the current run-rate. 

On a geographic basis, Asia continued to deliver 
strong growth along with South & East Africa and 
North & West Africa. As anticipated, Military 
revenues continued to decline in line with US troops 
withdrawal from Afghanistan. In 2012, 84% of Power 
Projects’ revenues came from utilities; military projects 
represented about 8%, and oil & gas, mining and 
manufacturing together contributed the remaining 8%. 
At the start of 2013, the Power Projects fleet, at over 
5,000MW, is 13% larger than 12 months earlier and 
includes around 1,100MW of gas-powered fleet. 

outlook For 2013
The Local business has had a very strong start to the year, 
with almost 20% more power on rent than a year ago, 
helped in part by our acquisition of Poit Energia in April 
2012. Encouragingly, growth in the Local business has 
been broadly spread, with most areas other than Europe 
showing healthy year-on-year increases in MW on hire.

In Power Projects, we have signed new contracts 
totalling 140MW in the year to date, and importantly, 
we have secured our first large order for our new 
Heavy Fuel Oil engine, with a 56MW contract in the 
Caribbean. We have also secured a contract for 57MW 
of diesel-powered generation in Djibouti. Trading 
continues to be subdued and is likely to remain so  
in the first half; however, in recent weeks there has 
been some improvement in the prospect pipeline.

Our expectations for the year as a whole remain 
unchanged from previous guidance.

critical accounting policieS
The Group’s significant accounting policies are set out 
in Note 1 to the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts.

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements 
requires Directors to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated 
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual 
outcomes could differ from those estimated.

The Directors believe that the accounting policies 
discussed below represent those which require the 
greatest exercise of judgement. The Directors have 
used their best judgement in determining the 
estimates and assumptions used in these areas but  
a different set of judgements could result in material 
changes to our reported results. The discussion below 
should be read in conjunction with the full statement 
of accounting policies, set out in Note 1 to the 
Group’s Annual Report and Accounts.

Property, plant and equipment
Rental fleet accounts for £1,196 million, or around 94%, 
of the net book value of property, plant and equipment 
used in our business; the great majority of equipment in 
the rental fleet is depreciated on a straight-line basis to a 
residual value of zero over 8 years, although we do have 
some classes of non-power fleet which we depreciate 
over 10 years. The annual fleet depreciation charge  
of £222 million (2011: £175 million) relates to the 
estimated service lives allocated to each class of fleet 
asset. Asset lives are reviewed regularly and changed  
if necessary to reflect current thinking on their 
remaining lives in light of technological change, 
prospective economic utilisation and the physical 
condition of the assets. 

Intangible assets
In accordance with IFRS 3 (revised) ‘Business 
Combinations’, goodwill arising on acquisition of 
assets and subsidiaries is capitalised and included in 
intangible assets. IFRS 3 (revised) also requires the 
identification of other acquired intangible assets. The 
techniques used to value these intangible assets are in 
line with internationally used models but do require 
the use of estimates and forecasts which may differ 
from actual outcomes. Future results are impacted by 
the amortisation period adopted for these items and, 
potentially, by any differences between forecast and 
actual outcomes related to individual intangible assets. 

The amortisation charge for intangible assets in 2012 
was £5 million (2011: £4 million). Substantially all of 
this charge relates to the amortisation of intangible 
assets arising from business combinations.

Goodwill of £143 million (2011: £65 million) is not 
amortised, but is tested annually for impairment and 
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 
The impairment review calculations require the use  
of forecasts related to the future profitability and cash 
generating ability of the acquired assets. There were 
no impairment charges in 2012 and 2011.

Taxation
Aggreko’s pre-exceptional effective tax charge of 
26.0% is based on the profit for the year and tax  
rates in force at the balance sheet date. As well as 
corporation tax, Aggreko is subject to indirect taxes 
such as sales and employment taxes across various tax 
jurisdictions in the approximately 100 countries in 
which the Group operates. The varying nature and 
complexity of tax law requires the Group to review  
its tax positions and make appropriate judgements at 
the balance sheet date. In addition, the recognition  
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon an estimation 
of future taxable profits that will be available, against 
which deductible temporary differences can be 
utilised. In the event that actual taxable profits are 
different, such differences may impact the carrying 
value of such deferred tax assets in future periods. 
Further information, including a detailed tax 
reconciliation, is shown at Notes 10 and 22  
to the Annual Report and Accounts.

Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair  
value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. 
An impairment is recorded for the difference between 
the carrying amount and the recoverable amount where 
there is objective evidence that the Group may not be 
able to collect all amounts due. Significant financial 
difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor 
will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation  
and default, or large and old outstanding balances, 
particularly in countries where the legal system is  
not easily used to enforce recovery, are considered 
indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. 

39

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Report 
detailed Financial revieW CONTINUED

The majority of the contracts into which the Group 
enters are small relative to the size of the Group and, 
if a customer fails to pay a debt, this is dealt with  
in the normal course of business. However, some  
of the contracts the Group undertakes in developing 
countries are very large, and are in jurisdictions where 
payment practices can be unpredictable. The Group 
monitors the risk profile and debtor position of all such 
contracts regularly, and deploys a variety of techniques 
to mitigate the risks of delayed or non-payment; these 
include securing advance payments and guarantees. As 
a result of this rigorous approach to risk management, 
historically the Group has had a low level of bad debt 
write-offs. When a trade receivable is uncollectable it 
is written off against the provision for impairment of 
trade receivables. At 31 December 2012, the provision 
for impairment of trade receivables in the balance 
sheet was £63 million (2011: £36 million).

currency tranSlation
The movement of exchange rates during the year 
decreased revenue and trading profit by £6 million  
and £1 million respectively as a result of currency 
movement. Currency translation also gave rise to  
a £58 million decrease in the value of net assets as a 
result of year-on-year movements in the exchange rates. 
Set out in the table below are the principal exchange 
rates which affect the Group’s profits and net assets.

exceptional iteMS
The definition of exceptional items is contained within 
Note 1 of the 2012 Annual Report and Accounts.  
An exceptional credit of £7 million before tax was 
recorded in the year to 31 December 2012 in respect  
of the Group’s acquisition of Poit Energia and costs 
associated with the recent Group reorganisation.  
There are three elements to the net exceptional credit. 
The first element is an exceptional credit relating to 
the release of £17 million of the £20 million deferred 
consideration relating to the Poit Energia acquisition 
earn out period. We completed the acquisition and 
the legal merger of the two businesses earlier than  
we anticipated and, accordingly we agreed with the 

40

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 
 
 
 
 
Vendors that we would terminate the earn out period 
early in return for a payment of £3 million of the 
possible £20 million. Secondly, and partially offsetting 
this credit, there are £4 million of integration costs 
incurred to date for the Poit Energia acquisition. 
Thirdly there are £6 million of costs relating to the 
Group reorganisation. These costs include professional 
fees, severance costs, relocation costs and travel/
expenses directly related to the reorganisation. 

intereSt
The net interest charge was £25 million, an increase 
of £7 million on 2011, reflecting the higher level of 
average net debt. This was mainly as a consequence  
of increased levels of capital expenditure, the Poit 
Energia acquisition and higher levels of working 
capital in our Power Projects business. Interest cover, 
measured against rolling 12-month EBITDA, remains 
very strong at 25.3 times (2011: 28.4 times).

taxation
Tax strategy
Our tax strategy, which is applicable to all taxes,  
both direct and indirect, is to pay the appropriate 
amount of tax in each country where we operate, 
whilst ensuring that we respect the applicable tax 
legislation and take advantage, where appropriate,  
of any legislative reliefs available. 

Responsibility for tax policy and risk management sits 
with our Chief Financial Officer including the role of 
Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) where we ensure  
as a Group that our systems are appropriate for the 
purposes of calculating the Group’s UK tax liabilities. 

Our tax strategy is aligned with the Group’s business 
strategy and is reviewed and endorsed by the Board.  
In addition, the profile of our tax risk is reviewed  
on a regular basis. The tax strategy is executed by  
a global team of tax professionals who are integrated 
into our business and who are based in a variety of 
locations across the world where they work closely 
with the Aggreko operations, local tax authorities  
and local advisors.

Given the varied nature of the tax environment in 
many of the 100 countries in which we operate, local 
compliance is a key area of focus for Aggreko. This is 
particularly so for our Power Projects business, where 
we will generally only be in a country for a relatively 
short period of time. The complexity and often 
uncertain nature of tax rules in certain countries 
means we seek to manage compliance proactively  
by engaging with local tax authorities and advisors  
as appropriate, to agree and confirm our tax positions  
in a timely manner.

We recognise the importance of tax receipts to the 
countries in which we do business and as such we aim 
to be transparent with our stakeholders in terms of the 
geographic spread of where we pay tax. 

Total taxes
In 2012, Aggreko’s worldwide operations resulted  
in direct and indirect taxes of £147 million (2011: 
£154 million) being paid to tax authorities. This 
amount represents all corporate taxes paid on 
operations, payroll taxes paid and collected,  
import duties and miscellaneous other local taxes.

The breakdown of the £147 million by type of tax  
is shown in figure 1.

1   Our Power Projects business is operated via a UK company.
2   Latin America, Africa and Asia-Pacific combined represent the International Local 

and Power Projects segments of our business in these geographies. 

3   North American taxes paid reflect accelerated tax allowances on capital investment. 

The most significant changes in the regional split of 
corporate tax paid year-on-year are: the reduction in 
the proportion of taxes paid in Europe, primarily due 
to the reduction in UK tax paid on Power Projects 
business activities, following the branch profits 
election; and an increase in corporate tax paid in both 
Asia (£6 million increase on 2011) and Latin America 
(£5 million increase on 2011), as our businesses in 
both these areas have grown.

Tax charge 
The Group’s pre-exceptional effective corporation tax 
rate for the year was 26.0% (2011: 28.5%) based on a 
tax charge of £94 million (2011: £92 million) on profit 
before taxation of £360 million (2011: £324 million). 
The change in the effective rate from 2011 to 2012 
mainly resulted from the combination of the impact  
of the branch profits election on the Power Projects 
business and the mix of profits across operating 
territories. In terms of the branch profits election,  
the UK Finance Act 2011 introduced legislation 
exempting the profits of foreign branches of UK 
resident companies from UK corporation tax. With 
effect from 1 January 2012 this is applicable to a 
significant portion of our Power Projects business. 

Further information, including a detailed tax 
reconciliation of the current year tax charge, is shown 
at Note 10 in the Annual Report and Accounts.

Reconciliation of income statement  
tax charge and cash tax paid
The Group’s total cash taxes borne and collected was 
£147 million which differs from the tax charge reported 
in the income statement of £94 million. The income 
statement tax charge figure comprises corporate taxes 
only. These two figures are reconciled below:

dividendS
If the proposed final dividend of 15.63 pence is 
approved by shareholders, it will result in a full year 
dividend of 23.91 pence (2011: 20.79 pence) per 
ordinary share, giving dividend cover, on a pre-
exceptional basis, of 4.2 times (2011: 4.2 times). 

caShFloW
The net cash inflow from operations during the  
year totalled £479 million (2011: £509 million).  
This funded capital expenditure of £440 million.  
This spend was made up of £415 million of fleet  
and £25 million of non fleet with 67% of the fleet 
investment supporting the continued expansion of our 
International business. Net debt at 31 December 2012 
was £228 million higher than the previous year with 
the main drivers being the acquisition of Poit Energia 
in April 2012, and higher levels of both capital 
expenditure and working capital. As a result of the 
increase in net debt, gearing (net debt as a percentage 
of equity) at 31 December 2012 increased to 57% 
from 42% at 31 December 2011 while net debt to 
EBITDA increased to 0.9 times (2011: 0.7 times). 

There was a £163 million working capital outflow  
in the year mainly driven by higher levels of activity 
across the business and an increase in working capital 
balances in our Power Projects business. In terms of 
the latter, the Power Projects business saw a 23 day 
increase in debtor days to 90 days, mainly caused by 
two countries where payments were slower than usual. 
In addition the Power Projects creditors balance was 
lower than the prior year driven by lower running on 
two contracts where Aggreko is responsible for fuel 
management. Our manufacturing operation also saw  
a reduction in creditors driven by decreasing activity 
levels in the last quarter.

net operating aSSetS
The net operating assets of the Group (including 
goodwill) at 31 December 2012 totalled £1,709 million,

1   Constant currency takes account of the impact of translational 

exchange movements in respect of our businesses which operate  
in currency other than Sterling.

A key measure of Aggreko’s performance is the return 
(expressed as operating profit) generated from average 
net operating assets (ROCE). We calculate the average 
net operating assets for a period by taking the average 
of the net operating assets as at 1 January, 30 June and 
31 December; this is the basis on which we report our 
calculations of ROCE. The average net operating 
assets in 2012 were £1,577 million, up 29% on 2011. 
In 2012, the ROCE decreased to 24.4% compared with 
28.0% in 2011. This decrease was mainly due to lower 
margins and increased working capital in our Power 
Projects business, as well as the first year impact of  
the Poit Energia acquisition.

acquiSitionS
On 16 April 2012, we completed the acquisition of the 
entire share capital of Companhia Brasileira de Locacoes 
(‘Poit Energia’), a leading provider of temporary power 
solutions in South America. The initial transaction 
price of £138 million (R$404 million) was made up  
of £105 million consideration payable to the owners  
of Poit Energia, plus £33 million of debt to be paid off 
by Aggreko on behalf of Poit Energia. In addition to 
the initial transaction price of £138 million, there was 
a further amount of up to £20 million conditional on 
the business achieving stretching performance targets 
for the year to 31 December 2012. We completed the 
acquisition and the legal merger of the two businesses 
earlier than we anticipated and, accordingly, we 
agreed with the Vendors that we would terminate  
the earn out period early in return for a payment  
of £3 million of the possible £20 million. 

The total purchase consideration for accounting 
purposes was £125 million comprising the £105 million 
cash consideration plus the deferred consideration of 
£20 million. The fair value of net assets acquired was 
£37 million resulting in goodwill of £88 million. For 
accounting purposes the £33 million of debt does not 
form part of the purchase consideration. During the 
year it was agreed that only £3 million would be paid 
out in relation to deferred consideration, the balance 
of £17 million has been taken as an exceptional credit 
through the income statement. The detailed acquisition 
note is contained in Note 29 in the Accounts.

ShareholderS’ equity 
Shareholders’ equity increased by £164 million to  
£1,045 million, represented by the net assets of the 
Group of £1,638 million before net debt of £593 million.

12.35 pence) and the interim dividend for 2012 of 8.28 pence per 
share (2011: 7.20 pence) that were paid during the year.

The £267 million of post-tax profit (pre-exceptional 
items) in the year represents a return of 26% on 
shareholders’ equity (2011: 26%) which compares  
to a Group weighted average cost of capital of 8.9%. 

penSionS 
Pension arrangements for our employees vary 
depending on best practice and regulation in each 
country. The Group operates a defined benefit scheme 
for UK employees, which was closed to new employees 
joining the Group after 1 April 2002; most of the 
other schemes in operation around the world are 
varieties of defined contribution schemes. A formal 
valuation of the UK Defined Benefit Scheme was 
carried out at 31 December 2011. At the valuation 
date, based on the assumptions adopted, the market 
value of the Scheme’s assets (excluding AVCs) was 
£59 million which was sufficient to cover 78% of the 
benefits that had accrued to members, after making 
allowances for future increases in earnings.

Under IAS 19: ‘Employee Benefits’, Aggreko has 
recognised a pre-tax pension deficit of £4 million  
at 31 December 2012 (2011:£6 million) which is 
determined using actuarial assumptions. The decrease 
in the pension deficit is a result of higher than expected 
returns achieved on Scheme assets over the year and 
the additional contributions made by the Company 
during the year over and above the cost of accrual of 
benefits. This has been partially offset by lower net 
interest rates used to value the liabilities. The Company 
paid £0.6 million in January 2012 under the previous 
Recovery Plan and £3.5 million in December 2012  
in line with the Recovery Plan agreed for the Scheme 
following the actuarial valuation at 31 December 2011.

The main assumptions used in the IAS 19 valuation 
for the previous two years are shown in Note 27 of the 
Annual Report and Accounts. The sensitivities regarding 
these assumptions are shown in the table below.

capital Structure and dividend policy
The intention of Aggreko’s strategy is to deliver long-
term value to its shareholders whilst maintaining a 
balance sheet structure that safeguards the Group’s 
financial position through economic cycles. From  
an ordinary dividend perspective our objective  
is to provide a progressive through cycle dividend 
recognising the inherent lack of visibility and 
potential volatility of our business.

Given the proven ability of the business to fund organic 
growth from operating cashflows, and the nature of 
our business model, we believe it is sensible to run the 
business with a modest amount of debt. We say ‘modest’ 
because we are strongly of the view that it is unwise  
to run a business which has high levels of operational 
gearing with high levels of financial gearing. Given the 
above considerations, we believe that a Net Debt to 
EBITDA ratio of around 1 times is appropriate for the 
Group over the longer term. Absent a major acquisition, 
or the requirement for an unusual level of fleet 
investment, this level gives us the ability to deal with 
the normal fluctuations in capital expenditure (which 
can be quite sharp: +/– £100 million in a year) and 
working capital, and is well within our covenants to 
lenders which stand at 3 times Net Debt to EBITDA.

At the end of 2012, Net Debt to EBITDA had 
increased to 0.9 times compared to 31 December 2011 
when the ratio of Net Debt to EBITDA was 0.7 times. 

With respect to our ordinary dividend policy, at the 
end of 2012 the dividend cover on a pre-exceptional 
basis was 4.2 times.

treaSury 
The Group’s operations expose it to a variety of 
financial risks that include liquidity, the effects of 
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest 
rates, and credit risk. The Group has a centralised 
treasury operation whose primary role is to ensure that 
adequate liquidity is available to meet the Group’s 
funding requirements as they arise, and that financial 
risk arising from the Group’s underlying operations  
is effectively identified and managed. 

The treasury operations are conducted in accordance 
with policies and procedures approved by the Board 
and are reviewed annually. Financial instruments are 
only executed for hedging purposes, and transactions 
that are speculative in nature are expressly forbidden. 
Monthly reports are provided to senior management 
and treasury operations are subject to periodic internal 
and external review.

Liquidity and funding
The Group maintains sufficient facilities to meet  
its normal funding requirements over the medium 
term. At 31 December 2012, these facilities totalled 
£863 million in the form of committed bank facilities 
arranged on a bilateral basis with a number of 
international banks and private placement notes. 
US$100 million (£62 million) of private placement 
notes were issued during June 2012. In addition, during 
the year committed bank facilities of £154 million 
were arranged. The financial covenants attached to 
these facilities are that EBITDA should be no less 
than 4 times interest and net debt should be no more 
than 3 times EBITDA; at 31 December 2012, these 
stood at 25.3 times and 0.9 times respectively. The 
Group does not consider that these covenants are 
restrictive to its operations. The maturity profile of 
the borrowings is detailed in Note 18 in the Annual 
Report and Accounts. Since the year end £30 million 
of committed facilities have matured.

Net debt amounted to £593 million at 31 December 
2012 and, at that date, un-drawn committed facilities 
were £294 million.

Interest rate risk 
The Group’s policy is to manage the exposure to 
interest rates by ensuring an appropriate balance of 
fixed and floating rates. The Group’s primary funding 
is at floating rates through its bank facilities. In order 
to manage the associated interest rate risk, the Group 
uses interest rate swaps to vary the mix of fixed and 
floating rates. At 31 December 2012, £311 million  
of the net debt of £593 million was at fixed rates  
of interest resulting in a fixed to floating rate net  
debt ratio of 52:48 (2011: 71:29).

Foreign exchange risk 
The Group is subject to currency exposure on the 
translation into Sterling of its net investments in 
overseas subsidiaries. In order to reduce the currency 
risk arising, the Group uses direct borrowings in the 
same currency as those investments. Group borrowings 
are predominantly drawn down in the principal 
currencies used by the Group, namely US Dollar, 
Canadian Dollar, Euro and Brazilian Reais.

The Group manages its currency flows to minimise 
foreign exchange risk arising on transactions 
denominated in foreign currencies and uses forward 
contracts and forward currency options, where 
appropriate, in order to hedge net currency flows.

Credit risk
Cash deposits and other financial instruments give  
rise to credit risk on amounts due from counterparties. 
The Group manages this risk by limiting the aggregate 
amounts and their duration depending on external 
credit ratings of the relevant counterparty. In the case 
of financial assets exposed to credit risk, the carrying 
amount in the balance sheet, net of any applicable 
provision for loss, represents the amount exposed  
to credit risk.

Insurance 
The Group operates a policy of buying cover against 
the material risks which the business faces, where it  
is possible to purchase such cover on reasonable terms. 
Where this is not possible, or where the risks would 
not have a material impact on the Group as a whole, 
we self-insure.

introduction
This report describes the policies and procedures  
that the Board has put in place to ensure that 
Aggreko operates in a safe, ethical and responsible 
manner, which protects the environment as well as 
safeguarding the health and safety of its employees, its 
customers, and the communities in which it operates. 
The process for identifying, evaluating and managing 
the risks that are considered significant is summarised 
under the heading of Internal Control on page 61.

The nature of our business is that we work in many 
different countries, often in remote and difficult 
environments, with equipment and substances which,  
if improperly handled, are potentially dangerous to 
people and harmful to property and the environment. 
We frequently operate in response to natural or man-
made disasters, where the infrastructure has been 
badly damaged and where operating conditions are far 
from ideal. Over time, therefore, we have developed  
a comprehensive range of operating procedures and 
processes to ensure that we minimise any risk of harm 
to people or to the environment.

health and SaFety
Aggreko puts health and safety at the very heart  
of its operations. Most of our equipment is heavy, 
electro-mechanical equipment which is moved around 
frequently. Compressors and generators respectively 
produce high-pressure compressed air and high voltage 
electricity, either of which can be harmful to people  
if mishandled. 

Aggreko’s policy is to implement common health  
and safety operating procedures worldwide. Whether 
operating in the Australian bush, the Saudi Arabian 
desert or in downtown Manhattan, our operating 
procedures are the same high standard. 

Among the key features of Aggreko’s worldwide 
Health and Safety Policy are:

the forefront of considerations when we design  
our equipment;

 – ensuring that health and safety issues are at  
 – ensuring that our equipment is built and  

maintained to the highest standards;

in the safe operation of our equipment; and

 –  training and educating our staff worldwide  
 –  ensuring that health and safety issues have  

the appropriate level of focus throughout the 
management chain.

Aggreko has created its own Global Environmental 
Health and Safety Management System (GEMS) 
which has been implemented throughout the business. 
At the core of GEMS is a Best Operating Practice 
document that is published in 8 languages (English, 
French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian 
and Singhalese). The Best Operating Practice is 
updated in the light of experience and incidents. 

GEMS incorporates a comprehensive reporting system 
which is designed to ensure that the Company knows 
of every incident, and can learn from it. A uniform 
accident and incident data collection procedure  
is implemented worldwide, and from this we can 
measure our performance and benchmark our 
operations. Performance measures are reported at a 
business unit level on a monthly basis. Any serious 
incident is immediately reported to the Executive 
Director responsible for the business unit concerned.

Meetings of the senior management of each region are 
held regularly; at each of these an Executive Director 
will normally chair the meeting, and incidents 
reported under GEMS are discussed. For 2012, the 
Executive Director responsible for Health and Safety 
was George Walker. Monthly reports were produced, 
which were considered at each meeting of the Board. 

SaFety
Our business involves the frequent movement of heavy 
equipment which, in its operation, produces lethal 
voltages and contains thousands of litres of fuel. Rigorous 
safety processes are absolutely essential if we are to avoid 
accidents which could cause injury to people and damage 
to property and reputation. Safety processes are also  
a basic benchmark of operational discipline and there 
is, in our view, a close correlation between a well-run 
business and a safe business.

The main KPI we use to measure safety performance  
is the internationally recognised Frequency Accident 
Rating (‘FAR’) which is calculated as the number of 

47

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportcorporate Social reSponSiBility CONTINUED

lost time accidents multiplied by 200,000 (being the 
base for 100 employees working 40 hours per week,  
50 weeks per year) divided by the total hours worked. 
A lost time accident is a work related injury/illness 
that results in an employee’s inability to work the  
day after the initial injury/illness.

The Group’s FAR for 2012 was 0.94. This compares 
favourably to the benchmark of 1.4 reported for  
US rental and leasing industries published by the  
US Department of Labor in 2011, and was an 
improvement on the 0.98 achieved in 2011. 

However, behind the numbers lies the fact that 2012 
has been a traumatic year for us from a safety point of 
view. For the first time in fifty years, an employee was 
killed on one of our job sites; this was an avoidable 
accident and was caused when a third party contractor 
was lifting a piece of our equipment. Our employee 
was killed when a chain snapped during a lifting 
operation. In the Yemen, two contractors working on 
one of sites were shot dead when the site was attacked 
by insurgents. Our thoughts and condolences go out 
to their families, and we are committed to increasing 
the rigour with which we implement our safety 
regimes which have delivered a safe working 
environment for our employees and contractors  
for many years.

Further discussion of Health & Safety matters can  
be found in this report in the Principal Risks and 
Uncertainties section on page 32 and the Key 
Performance Indicators section on page 26.

eMployeeS and equal opportunitieS
Aggreko is committed to promoting equal opportunities 
for all, irrespective of disability, ethnic origin, gender 
or any other considerations that do not affect a 
person’s ability to perform their job. 

The Group’s policies for recruitment, training, career 
development and promotion of employees are based 
on the suitability of the individual and give those  
who are disabled equal treatment with the able bodied. 
Where appropriate, employees disabled after joining 

the Group are given suitable training for alternative 
employment with the Group or elsewhere.

The Group continues to operate team briefings 
throughout its business to keep employees informed of 
developments and plans, both in their own operations 
and in the Group as a whole. Employees have access 
to the ‘Aggreko Resource Centre’, an intranet based 
system, which provides them with a wide range of 
information on the activities of the Group around the 
world. The annual and interim results are publicised 
extensively throughout the business and are made 
available to all employees.

The Group has a whistleblowing hotline, which  
gives access for all employees to a confidential,  
multi-lingual service to report any cases of ethical  
non-compliance, bullying or discrimination.

Environmental policy
Aggreko’s equipment is designed to function in all 
continents and all types of terrain. By careful design 
and use of the most suitable technology, we also aim to 
minimise the environmental impact of that equipment. 
Aggreko makes available to its customers equipment 
and solutions that are designed to comply with 
applicable laws, regulations and industry standards 
wherever we operate in the world. In effect, this means 
they comply with the laws, regulations and standards 
of some of the most stringent jurisdictions in which 
we operate and, therefore, far exceed the levels 
required in many others.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 
 
 
The two major environmental issues we deal with in 
our business are emissions-to-air from our equipment – 
the majority of which is diesel powered with an 
increasing proportion of gas, and the safe handling 
and disposal of fuel and oil.

Our Environmental Policies are managed in a similar 
way to safety. They comprise: 

to the highest standards;

forefront of considerations when we design our fleet;

 – ensuring that environmental issues are at the 
 –  ensuring that our equipment is built and maintained 
 –  training and educating our staff worldwide  
 –  ensuring that environmental issues have the 

in the safe operation of our equipment; and

appropriate level of focus throughout the 
management chain.

Emissions-to-air: exhaust gases and particulates
Emissions-to-air are an inevitable by-product of 
hydrocarbon fuelled engines. Over the years, as engines 
have become more efficient and legislation to limit 
emissions around the world has become stricter, 
emissions have reduced sharply. Aggreko works in 
co-operation with the manufacturers of engines in order 
to meet new emission requirements in a timely manner. 

The principal contribution we can make to reducing 
emissions to air is in maintaining our equipment in 
good order, and introducing engines into the fleet 
with good emissions performance. 

In an increasing number of countries, air quality 
regulations stipulate emission standards with which new 
equipment being sold must comply. Generally countries 
allow mobile equipment already operating to continue 
to do so for its useful life. This is called ‘grandfathering’. 
The US EPA has introduced the earliest and most 
stringent regulation in this area, introducing reduction 
targets for emissions of NOx and particulate in Tiers, 
starting with Tier 1 in 1996, moving to Tier 4 final 
around 2014. The EPA requirements have therefore 
been the main driver of new generator development. 
The following graph illustrates the reduction targets 
for emissions under the EPA regime.

As our suppliers produce engines which comply  
with new emissions, we work with them to introduce 
the new engines into the fleet. In 2008, we started 
trialling new Tier 2 compliant engines for our high-
horsepower range, and these were introduced into 
production in 2010. During 2011 and 2012 we 
continued our investment in new emissionised fleet  
and by the end of 2012, the vast majority of our  
North American power fleet was certified to operate  
at Tier 2 EPA standards or above. During 2012, over 
25% of the new diesel engines introduced to our 
worldwide fleet were certified to at least Tier 3 in 
North America or the equivalent Stage 3A standard 
in Europe. At the same time, we introduced our first 
Tier 4 Interim products and more than 1 in 12 of our 
new Diesel sets were certified to this standard. We 
expect this trend for increasing emissions compliance 
to continue in 2013 and plan to introduce new Tier 4 
Interim certified products at 3 further power ratings.

To further reduce emissions-to-air for specific projects, 
after-treatment can be applied to existing fleet. In 2008 
a significant project was undertaken in Chile to deliver 
the lowest level of NOx yet stipulated by a standard. 
Seventy of Aggreko’s project machines were fitted with 
an advanced SCR that reduced NOx by 90%. More 
recently the post Tsunami Diesel projects, totalling 
248MW, utilised this technology on Aggreko machines 
to meet the Japanese air quality standards. Similar 
technology will be required to meet EPA Tier 4 final 

49

requirements in the US and in Europe thereafter. We are 
currently working closely with engine manufacturers and 
primary technology developers to derive appropriate 
solutions for these requirements. For the 2012 London 
Olympics, we developed and deployed a retrofit 
solution for existing fleet to meet LOCOG’s stringent 
demands for low emission levels.

Aggreko natural gas generator development
We are constantly exploring new ways of reducing 
emissions, and have now built up a fleet of 
approximately 1GW for gas projects and added  
over 250 smaller gas-fuelled generators into the  
Local business. This temporary power solution has 
significantly lower levels of emissions (see below).  
In 2012, more than 14% of the new generator sets 
introduced to our worldwide fleet were gas powered.

Natural gas presents a competitive advantage over other 
energy sources. It is seen as economically more efficient 
because only about 10% of the natural gas produced is 
wasted before it gets to final consumption. In addition, 
technological advances are constantly improving 
efficiencies in extraction, transportation and storage 
techniques as well as in equipment that uses natural gas.

Natural gas is considered an environmentally-friendly 
clean fuel, offering important environmental benefits 
when compared with other fossil fuels. The superior 
environmental qualities over coal or oil are that 
emissions of sulphur dioxide are negligible and that 
the level of NOx and CO2 emissions is significantly 
lower. Where the gas fuel is essentially a by-product  
of production or is derived from a biological source,  
a CO2 and greenhouse gas reduction is realised.  
This helps to reduce problems of acid rain, ozone  
or greenhouse gases.

In many of Aggreko’s target markets natural gas is 
effectively a stranded resource. Aggreko’s service 
allows for generation of power from this valuable 
resource on a more flexible and scalable basis than 
existing solutions.

Alternative energy sources
In addition to the work we have undertaken 
developing natural gas-powered generators, we are 
constantly reviewing product technologies, looking  
for advances that we can adopt within our product 
portfolio. These include:

 – Bio-fuels – Across some of our markets we have seen 

the emergence of Bio-diesel as an alternative energy 
source. These fuels are compatible with most of our 
generator fleet, either in a blended or pure format. 
Bio-fuel can reduce CO2 emissions, given that the 
crop that derived the fuel has absorbed CO2 from 
the atmosphere. While we will continue to support 
customers who wish to run our equipment on Bio-
fuels, our main concern with this energy source is 
sustainability of the sources of production, and the 
environmental impact of certain production 
methods. Consequently, we are not actively 
promoting Bio-fuel use in our business.

 – Fuel Cells – Whilst we keep a close watch on the 

development of Fuel Cell technology, we do not 
currently see any commercial application in our 
business. This may change as technology improves 
and costs reduce.

 – Renewables – At present, it is hard to envisage  

the application of renewable energy sources to large 
temporary power generation projects. While we 
have, for example, reviewed the application of 
battery technology in combination with a diesel 
generator to provide hybrid power, which can 
improve efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, 
technology is not yet advanced enough to enable  
us to pursue a hybrid renewable option. We do 
however foresee a role for our products in 
supporting systems and grids which rely upon 
renewables, where seasonal restrictions can occur.

Emissions-to-air: carbon dioxide 
Aggreko Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report  
2011 and 2012
In previous years, we have resisted the pressure  
to spend shareholder’s money paying consultants  
to improve on our guesses of what our greenhouse  
gas (GHG) emissions are. Our issue is not with the 
principle of reporting, it is with attempting to impose 
spurious levels of accuracy and pretending that the 
numbers produced are accurate. They are not: they are 
an aggregate of many hundreds of more or less wild 

50

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012guesses. By way of example, in our reporting, 85%  
of our GHG emissions comes from our customers 
burning fuel in our engines. But ‘best practice’ dictates 
that we add 15% to this number to ‘account for’ the 
assumed GHG gases expended making the fuel and 
getting it to site, irrespective of whether fuel gets to 
our engine down a pipeline or in a truck. This 15% 
dwarfs our own in-house emissions.

However, over the past few years the pressure from 
various bodies to give a single number has mounted, 
and this year we have spent over £20,000 to get a 
specialist (and actually rather good) consultant to 
estimate what our GHG emissions are.

In our 2011 Annual Report, we guessed that our 
worldwide CO2 emissions were between 12 and 15 
million tonnes a year. Our consultant now tells us 
that they were in fact 13,649,246 tonnes. So we now 
have a single number we can report. But be warned,  
it is an estimate, built on a foundation of many guesses. 
Secretly, we also take some satisfaction from knowing 
that our cost-free, back-of-envelope estimate was 
about right.

Having paid the money, and done the work, we feel 
that we should at least present the results in some 
detail, so shareholders feel that they have got some 
value. Accordingly, this report presents our scope  
1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions for the calendar years 2011 
and 2012 – one year ahead of our obligations under 
the UK Government’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions 
(Directors’ Reports) Regulations 2013.

Tables 1 and 2 below present the principal findings 
from GHG analyses of the previous two years.

The results show that 99% of GHG emissions arise 
from customers’ operation of our rental fleet. In line 
with best practice, our GHG accounting systems 
include an estimate of the upstream GHG emissions 
associated with fuel supply chains which typically add 
15% to combustion emissions; this 15% accounts for 
97% of the scope 3 emissions detailed in Table 1. 

Given the dominance of fleet emissions, there are three 
main factors driving Aggreko’s total annual GHG 
emissions: the fuel type our customers chose to use; the 
pattern of their usage; and the fuel efficiency of Fleet. 
Only the last of these is under the control of Aggreko.

The increase in GHG emissions between 2011 and 
2012 reflects the underlying growth in Aggreko’s 
business and associated increase in fuel used by our 
customers, where total energy delivered increased by 
over 15%. The fact that the increase in total GHG 
emissions was around 10% demonstrates a decrease  
in the underlying carbon intensity of our fleet, mainly 
due to the increase in our gas fleet. Without the fleet 
carbon intensity reduction of 5% between 2011 and 
2012, the total GHG emissions in 2012 would have 
been 719,000 tonnes CO2e higher. Our investment  
in new fleet has therefore reduced GHG emissions  
by nearly three quarters of a million tonnes in a year. 
This equates to the annual household emissions from  
a city the size of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, and the 
equivalent of four times Aggreko’s non-fleet emissions.

There are some more general points we should make: 
first, Aggreko is committed to growing its business and 
if we are successful it is inevitable that the amount  
of fuel our customers burn, and therefore the amount 
of GHG emissions from our generators, will increase. 
However, by investing in alternative fuels such as gas 
and fuel-efficient engines, we can seek to mitigate the 
impact of growth.

Second, whilst diesel-powered generation is viewed  
by many environmentalists as the devil’s spawn, a 
significant amount of our capacity is dedicated to 
making practical emissions-free generation such as 
hydro. Like all sources of renewable energy, hydro  
is intermittent, i.e. when it does not rain, you get no 
hydro power. In many parts of Africa, South America 
and Asia the rains fail every 4-6 years, and they need 
alternative generation to support the grid when this 
happens. Supporting hydro with diesel is a core part  
of our business, and enables these countries to provide 
both low-emissions generation and continuous 
supplies of electricity, even in times of drought.

Thirdly, legislation over the last twenty years related to 
combustion engines has focussed on reducing emissions 
such as Nitrogen and Sulphur Dioxide, which are just 
as harmful as CO2. Engine manufacturers have been 
very successful at this, but, perversely, lower nitrogen 
and sulphur dioxide emissions come at the cost of 
worse fuel consumption, and therefore more CO2.  
So as our fleet gets cleaner by one measure, it gets 
dirtier by another. 

Petroleum spills and the safe disposal of waste fluids
Aggreko and its customers handle a considerable 
quantity of diesel fuel and the rare occurrence of 
accidental fuel spills is an area that the Group monitors 
very closely. The measure used by management to 
measure the performance of the Group in handling 
fuel is the ‘Petroleum Release Rating’ (PRR). This  
is calculated as litres released to ground, divided  
by the cumulative average MW on rent. The PRR 
performance over the past three years has been: 

 –  2012 – 0.41
 –  2011 – 0.62 
 –  2010 – 0.58 

Our equipment has been specifically designed to 
minimise the risk of fluid spillage through features 
such as a ‘save-all base’, double-walled storage tanks 
and fail-safe valves. A PRR score of 0.37 has been  
set by the Group as a target for 2013, based on 90%  
of the actual performance for 2012.

Another potential source of environmental damage  
is in the disposal of consumables such as engine oil 
and filters. In our Local business, these are normally 
returned to our service centres where they are safely 
disposed of. In our Power Projects business, site-
specific arrangements are made to ensure the safe 
handling of these items.

Reporting of fuel spills is handled in a similar way  
to safety incidents, with monthly reports reviewed  
at each meeting of the Board.

Noise
Aggreko has built a competitive advantage through  
an equipment fleet that minimises external noise. This 
is done by the use of custom-built acoustic enclosures 
as well as high performance isolation and attenuation 
systems. Aggreko continues to work closely with its 
suppliers and local university research departments in 
order to develop its expertise in this field. As a result, our 
equipment is able to achieve the following performance 
standards that are well below the maximum levels 
permitted by current European legislation.

In accordance with the timelines and accords set out  
by the Montreal protocol Aggreko has phased out 
CFC plant from its temperature control rental fleet 
and is in the process of phasing out HCFC plant; we 
have introduced HFC production models in all areas.

Social reSponSiBility
Policy
Aggreko has a policy of encouraging local teams to 
engage with the communities in which they work,  
and each year they undertake a significant number of 
initiatives to help the disadvantaged or those affected 
by natural disasters.

charitaBle donationS
During the financial year the Group contributed to  
a range of charitable, community and disaster relief 
organisations. In terms of cash and value-in-kind this 
amounted to around £361,271 (compared to around 
£157,000 donated in 2011), but this is an estimate 
and probably an under-estimate, because it is hard to 
precisely quantify value-in-kind donations, and does 
not include a valuation of employees’ time. Of this 
total, £152,869 (2011: £43,370) was donated in cash  
to registered UK charities.

We have a policy of giving little donations to many 
organisations which are involved with the communities 
in which we work, rather than giving a lot of money  
to a few. Our largest single donation goes to Book  
Aid International, a charity promoting literacy in 
Africa, with whom we have been working since 2006. 
Book Aid has provided hundreds of thousands of 
books to schools and libraries. We admire their work 
enormously, and donations from Aggreko have enabled 
books to be distributed in Cameroon, Kenya, Namibia, 
Tanzania and Uganda. Books are, we feel, a good form 
of donation; they do not require maintenance; they 
can be used by many people; they are not open to 
corruption; they last a long time; and they help directly 
in the key task of helping people to help themselves. 

No political donations were made during the financial 
year (2011: nil).

BuSineSS ethicS
Ethics Policy
Aggreko has a reputation for delivering innovation, 
performance and solutions. Also at the heart of our 
long-term success is something less tangible and less 
easily illustrated with figures or case studies. This  
key element is integrity and honesty in our business 
dealings, a factor that contributes to our long-term 
relationships with customers. All Aggreko employees, 
as well as consultants and agents who we work with, 
are expected to behave ethically in their work, and 
our expectations of them are set out in a Corporate 
Ethics Policy. The objective of the Policy is to make 
Aggreko a good company to work for; to maintain  
our reputation for exceptional customer service and 
ethical business dealings; to compete ethically; and  
to ensure the business is managed to a consistently 
high standard. The Board has an Ethics Committee

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportcorporate governance

introduction
Aggreko is committed to maintaining high standards of 
corporate governance. Not many public companies state 
that they are committed to maintaining low standards  
of corporate governance, so we think it is useful to state, 
as precisely as we are able, what we mean by this.

First, we mean that we take governance at all levels  
in the Company seriously, and we think about it. 
Second, it means that we do not slavishly follow the 
strictures and advice of every governance guru or 
‘expert’ body, but we try to adopt those approaches 
that we believe are likely to work in the particular 
context of Aggreko’s business and culture, and which 
promote the following:

 – Transparency; giving shareholders the information 

they need to judge whether the executive 
management and the Board are doing a good  
job on their behalf;

and control;

Non-executive Directors; 

 – Effective decision-making, risk management  
 – A proper balance between Executive and  
 – Keeping the interests of the owners of the business 
 – The ability of the Company to hear the voice of 

aligned with, and at the front of the mind of, the 
people charged with managing the business; and

people other than shareholders who are touched  
by it. Principally these are regulatory and standards 
bodies, employees, customers, suppliers and the 
communities in which we operate

being mindful of the need to keep the amount of 
money and time spent on activities other than those 
involving making money for our shareholders to an 
appropriate level.

putting governance into practice
We support the UK Corporate Governance Code 
published by the Financial Reporting Council (the 
‘Code’). We consider that the Group complied with 
all of the provisions of the Code throughout the  
year ended 31 December 2012 with one exception. 
This exception was the provision that at least half  
of the Board, excluding the Chairman, should be 
independent Non-executive Directors. However, 
following the appointment of Rebecca McDonald  
on 1 October 2012 we consider Aggreko to be fully 
compliant with the Code.

Copies of the Code are publicly available at  
www.frc.org.uk.

56

the Board 
The Board currently comprises a Chairman, Chief 
Executive, four other Executive Directors and five  
Non-executive Directors; their details are set out  
on pages 54 and 55. The Nomination Committee 
regularly reviews the composition of the Board to ensure 
that we have an appropriate and diverse mix of skills, 
experience, independence and knowledge of the Group.

During the year and into the early part of 2013,  
a number of changes have been made to the Board, 
particularly following the announcement in September 
2012 of our new global management structure. All of

The Board focuses on:

 – oversight of our operations to ensure we  
 – sound planning and adequate internal control;
 – developing strong leadership and succession; and
 – protecting our reputation and the strong 

relationships we have with customers, suppliers  
and employees. 

We have a formal schedule of matters reserved for 
decision by the Board. These matters are significant to 
the Group as a whole owing to their strategic, financial 
or reputational implications. We undertook a thorough 
review of our corporate governance framework and 
associated policies during the year, which included  
an overhaul of the schedule of matters reserved for  
the Board, dividing the schedule into 10 distinct areas  
of responsibility. Amongst the matters reserved for 
decision by the Board are: 

of internal control and risk management.

the corporate or capital structure of the Group.

 – Corporate Governance: undertaking a review of  

its own performance and that of its committees,  
the independence of the Non-executive Directors 
and reviewing the governance framework in place.

roleS oF the chairMan,  
chieF executive and Senior 
independent director
We have a defined division of responsibilities between 
the Non-executive Chairman, Chief Executive and 
Senior Independent Director, which we reviewed as part 
of the corporate governance review undertaken in 2012. 

The Chairman is primarily responsible for leadership 
of the Board, ensuring its effectiveness on all aspects 
of its role and setting the agenda to take full account 
of the issues and concerns of the Board Members. 

The Chief Executive is responsible for leading, 
managing and controlling the Company and its 
subsidiaries, subject to those matters which are 
reserved for decision by the Board, and ensuring  
that decisions of the Board are implemented. 

The Senior Independent Director is responsible for 
providing a sounding board for the Chairman, serving 
as an intermediary for the other Directors when 
necessary and is available to meet with shareholders.

non-executive directorS
Our Non-executive Directors bring a wide range of 
experience to the Company. David Hamill, Russell 
King, Diana Layfield, Robert MacLeod and Rebecca 
McDonald are considered by the Board to be 
independent as defined in the Code. 

David Hamill is the Senior Independent Director  
and is available to meet shareholders if they have 
concerns which contact through the normal channels 
of Chairman, Chief Executive or Chief Financial 
Officer has failed to resolve or for which such  
contact is inappropriate.

The Code states that at least half of the Board, 
excluding the Chairman, should be independent  
Non-executive Directors. For reasons explained in our 
previous annual reports, we had preferred to operate 
with a maximum of ten Directors. However, as 
Aggreko’s business has grown and we have expanded 
into new geographies, technologies and sectors,  
we felt that we should broaden the range of skills  
and experience held by our Non-executive Directors. 
Therefore, we appointed two new Non-executive 
Directors this year; Diana Layfield was appointed  
on 1 May 2012 bringing with her a wealth of 
experience directly relevant to Aggreko and in  
depth knowledge of many of our most important 
markets; Rebecca McDonald was appointed on  
1 October 2012 with extensive knowledge of the 

57

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportcorporate governance CONTINUED

international energy markets; she is also an experienced 
Non-executive Director. The Board now comprises  
11 Directors; including five independent Non-executive 
Directors; we therefore comply fully with the Code  
on this point. 

induction, developMent and Support 
We make sure that all new Directors receive a full, 
formal and tailored induction on joining the Board,  
as we explain in more detail below. Also we plan our 
Board calendar to ensure that Directors are briefed  
on a wide range of topics throughout the year. These 
topics range from those with particular relevance for 
our business, such as world energy demand, to more 
general matters such as developments in corporate 
governance. We recognise that our Directors have  
a diverse range of experience, and so we encourage 
them to attend external seminars and briefings that 
will assist them individually. 

Directors have access to independent professional 
advice at the Company’s expense where they judge 
this to be necessary to discharge their responsibilities  
as Directors and all Directors have access to the 
advice and services of the Company Secretary, who  
is responsible to the Board for ensuring that Board 
procedures are complied with. 

During the full year we supported induction 
programmes for our new Non-executive Directors, 
Diana Layfield and Rebecca McDonald, and for  
our two new Executive Directors, Debajit Das  
and Asterios Satrazemis.

Typical Non-executive Director induction programme 
Our induction programme aims to give new Non-
executive Directors a thorough grounding in Aggreko’s 
business and a clear understanding of their roles and 
responsibilities. We aim to complete the induction 
programme within a few months of their appointment. 

Newly appointed Non-executive Directors typically 
begin their inductions with a meeting with the 
Company Secretary on Directors’ duties, conflicts  
of interest, corporate governance, Board procedures, 
Group policies and the use of our electronic Board 
packs. This is followed by a tour of our manufacturing 
facility in Dumbarton with the Group Chief Executive 
where he explains Aggreko’s business models, Group 
strategy, markets, competition, products and corporate 
responsibility. Whilst at the manufacturing site, new 
Non-executive Directors meet with the Director of 
Manufacturing for an overview of the manufacturing 
business, our products and work into research and 
development. An induction meeting is also scheduled 
with the Chief Financial Officer to cover the business 
plan, budget, KPIs, financial planning, reporting and 
investor relations. Following this, further meetings on 
head office functions are scheduled with the Director 

of Finance, Group Treasurer, Director of Internal 
Audit, Chief Information Officer and Group Human 
Resources Director. Meetings are then scheduled with 
the Regional Directors of the business areas and their 
teams. We also arrange for new Non-executive 
Directors to meet the principal partner of our  
External Auditors. 

Asterios Satrazemis and Debajit Das were appointed  
to the Board from within the business. Since both 
already had extensive knowledge of Aggreko,  
their induction focussed on their new roles and 
responsibilities as members of the Board.

Board coMMitteeS
The Board has standing Audit, Ethics, Nomination  
and Remuneration Committees. The memberships, 
roles and activities of these Committees are detailed  
in separate reports: Audit Committee on pages  
62 to 65, Ethics Committee on pages 66 to 67, 
Nomination Committee on pages 68 to 69 and 
Remuneration Committee on pages 70 to 87. 

Each Committee reports to, and has its terms of 
reference approved by, the Board and the minutes  
of the Committee meetings are circulated to, and 
reviewed by, the Board. The terms of reference of  
the standing Committees of the Board were updated 
as part of the governance review undertaken in 2012, 
and are available on our website at http://ir.aggreko.com/
committee-terms-of-reference.

Executive Committee
The Chief Executive chairs the Company’s Executive 
Committee, which comprises the Executive Directors, 
together with the heads of the main Group functions. 
Following the announcement of the reorganisation  
of the Group in September, these individuals are:  
the Group Human Resources Director, the Chief 
Information Officer, the Group Sales & Marketing 
Director, the Group Operations Director, the  
Group Commercial Director, the Group Business 
Development Director and the Group Legal Director  
& Company Secretary. The role of the Executive 
Committee is to support the Chief Executive and  
as such it has no formal terms of reference.

Board MeetingS
The Board generally meets at least six times each year.  
At each meeting, the Board receives certain regular 
reports, for example covering current trading, treasury, 
and environment, health and safety. At particular 
points in the year, the Board reviews budgets, capital 
expenditure, risks and financial statements. The Board 
also has regular updates on strategy and reviews other 
topics, in particular to cover some of the principal 
risks and uncertainties facing the business, as identified 
on pages 29 to 33, or to address the issues raised in  
the previous year’s Board evaluation. Each year we 

58

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012also review the senior management succession plan  
for the Group, with the Group Human Resources 
Director providing a briefing on senior management 
moves and each Executive Director leading a 
discussion on the succession plan for his region or 
function. In addition, each Regional Director gives  
a detailed annual presentation on the performance  
of his region. The Board also receives reports on  
what others think about us; gets copies of investor  
and analyst feedback, customer satisfaction metrics, 
and the results of employee surveys.

The Board generally meets in central London or at 
the Group head office in Glasgow, but at least one 
meeting each year is held at one of the Group’s other 
locations, which gives the Directors the opportunity 
to review the operations and meet local management. 
In June 2012, the Board visited the London 2012 
Olympic Site. 

Board activitieS in 2012 
Some of the key activities that the Board has covered 
over the past year are:

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportcorporate governance CONTINUED

election oF directorS
In accordance with the Code, all members of the 
Board will be offering themselves for re-election or 
election (in the case of our new Directors) at the 2013 
Annual General Meeting. It is part of the Chairman’s 
role to discuss the time commitment and contribution 
of each Non-executive Director as part of his or her 
individual appraisal, and the Nomination Committee 
unanimously recommends the reappointment of  
each of the Directors.

All of the Directors have service agreements or letters 
of appointment and the details of their terms are set 
out in the Remuneration Report on pages 75 and 85. 
No other contract with the Company or any subsidiary 
undertaking of the Company in which any Director 
was materially interested subsisted during or at the 
end of the financial year.

Board perForMance evaluation 
In 2011 we conducted our annual evaluation of Board 
and Committee performance through an independent 
external consultancy. This year the process was 
conducted personally by Ken Hanna shortly after  
his appointment as Chairman, through individual 
meetings with each member of the Board. Following 
this process we agreed to implement a number of 
improvements to our processes. These included: a 
Board strategy day to augment the regular strategy 
discussions at Board meetings; a complete review  
of our governance framework, including division of 
responsibilities, committee terms of reference and 
delegated authorities and more opportunities to meet 
senior managers below Board level. Good progress  
has already been made in the implementation of  
these improvements: an off-site strategy day was held 
with all Board Members in October 2012 and the 
governance review was completed, with new Terms  
of Reference for the Committees, updated role 
statements and delegated authorities adopted  
by the Board in July 2012.

We have reviewed the interests declared by Directors 
which could conflict with those of the Company, and 
we are satisfied that the Board’s powers to authorise 
potential conflicts are operating effectively. 

relationS With ShareholderS 
Understanding differing opinions is a key part  
of driving our business forward and we are very 
interested in understanding the views of our 
shareholders. The Company has a well-developed 
investor relations programme which is managed  
by the Chief Executive, Chief Financial Officer  
and Director of Finance. The Board receives  
regular updates on the views of shareholders through 
briefings from the Chairman, Chief Executive and 
Chief Financial Officer as well as reports from the 
Company’s brokers and the Company’s investor 

60

relations advisers. In addition, the Senior Independent 
Director is available to meet shareholders if they wish 
to raise any issues separately.

We formally speak to the market six times a year with 
Interim Management Statement Updates in April and 
October, Pre-close Updates for the Half Year and Full 
Year in June and December, and the formal production 
of reports at the Half Year Interim Report in August 
and the Full Year Report and Accounts in March. The 
formal reporting is underpinned by a number of other 
activities: on the day that the results are released in 
August and March we present to analysts and investors 
in London, these presentations are also broadcast  
live through our investor website and are available  
to view after the event on our website. The Interim 
Management Statements are also supported on the 
day of their release with a conference call open to  
all analysts and investors and Pre-close Updates are 
supported with one-to-one meetings with analysts. 

In 2012 we held over 250 one-to-one meetings with 
investors. These meetings are conducted by at least 
one of the Chief Executive, Chief Financial Officer  
or Director of Finance and where appropriate, senior 
members of the regional teams are also invited to 
allow investors to gain a broader perspective on  
the business. These meetings occur in a number of 
different locations around the world to reflect the 
global nature of our shareholder base. This year we 
held meetings in London, Edinburgh, New York and 
Paris for major shareholders and also visited investors 
on the West Coast of the USA, Germany, Italy, 
Sweden, Denmark, Canada, Australia and Japan.  
In September we also invited analysts to our new 
manufacturing facility in Dumbarton so that they 
could tour the new factory; this event was timed  
to follow the announcement of our new global 
management structure so that analysts would have  
the opportunity to address any specific questions  
on the new structure directly to the Directors.

We also enjoy meeting and engaging in lively debate 
with shareholders at the Company’s Annual General 
Meeting. In 2012, the Annual General Meeting 
coincided with the official opening of our new 
manufacturing facility in Dumbarton, and we decided 
to hold the Annual General Meeting at the factory so 
that shareholders could take a guided tour and attend 
the official opening ceremony with HRH The Princess 
Royal. The 2013 Annual General Meeting will be held 
in Glasgow on Thursday, 25 April 2013. Further details 
of the meeting are set out on page 91 and in the letter 
from the Chairman and notice of meeting sent with this 
report. Shareholders unable to attend are encouraged 
to vote using the proxy card mailed to them or 
electronically as detailed in the Notice of Meeting.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012internal control
The Board has applied Principle C.2 of the Code  
by establishing a continuous process for identifying, 
evaluating and managing the risks that are considered 
significant by the Group in accordance with the revised 
Turnbull Guidance on Internal Control published by 
the Financial Reporting Council. This process has been 
in place for the period under review and up to the date 
of approval of the Annual Report and Accounts. The 
process is designed to manage rather than eliminate 
risk, and can only provide reasonable and not absolute 
assurance against material misstatement or loss. The 
Board’s monitoring framework covers a wide range  
of controls, including financial, operational and 
compliance controls together with risk management. 
It is based principally on reviewing reports from 
management and considering whether significant risks 
are identified, evaluated, managed and controlled and 
ensuring that any significant weakness thus identified  
is promptly remedied. The Board continues to enhance 
and strengthen the procedures for identifying and 
monitoring key areas of risk. We have formatted the 
registers to provide clearer visibility on the highest 
rated risks; we now provide a comparison to previous 
registers to show risk trending and also provide a  
high level narrative explaining key changes from the 
previous register. Internal Audit provide assurance  
to the Audit Committee on the operation of controls 
which have been identified to address risks on the 
Group Risk Register.

The Board also considers financing and investment 
decisions concerning the Group and monitors the 
policy and control mechanisms for managing treasury 
risk. The Group insurance programme is reviewed by 
the Board, which also approves self-insured exposures.

During each financial year the Audit Committee reviews 
the external and internal audit work programmes and 
considers reports from internal and external auditors on 
the system of internal control and any material control 
weaknesses. It also receives responses from management 
regarding the actions taken on issues identified in audit 
reports. The full report of the Audit Committee is on 
pages 62 to 65.

perForMance reporting  
and inForMation
The Group has in place a comprehensive financial 
review cycle, which includes a detailed annual 
budgeting process, where business units prepare 
budgets for approval by the Board. The Group  
uses a large number of performance indicators to 
measure both operational and financial activity  
in the business. Depending on the measure; these are 
reported and reviewed on a daily, weekly or monthly 
basis. In addition management in the business receive  
a weekly and monthly pack of indicators which are 
the basis of regular operational meetings, where 

corrective action is taken if necessary. At Group  
level a well-developed management accounts pack 
including income statements, balance sheets and cash 
flow statement, as well as key ratios related to capital 
productivity and customer satisfaction scores, is 
prepared and reviewed monthly by management.  
As part of the monthly financial reporting process a 
forecast of the current year numbers is carried out.  
To ensure consistency of reporting the Group has a 
global ERP system and a global consolidation system 
as well as a common accounting policies and procedures 
manual. Management monitor the publication of new 
reporting standards and work closely with the external 
auditors in evaluating the impact of these standards.

revieW oF eFFectiveneSS  
oF internal control
In compliance with Provision C.2.1 of the Code, the 
Board reviews the effectiveness of the Group’s system 
of internal control. 

On an annual basis the Audit Committee receives a 
formal review that is designed to assess the application 
of the principal financial and operational controls 
operated by the Group. The review, which is based on 
self-assessment by senior operational management, is 
carried out using a risk review and control questionnaire 
and is intended to complement the internal and 
external audit procedures. There is also a comprehensive 
procedure for monitoring all significant risks and key 
risks have been identified on the Group Risk Register. 
The Board has considered the probability of those risks 
occurring and their impact, as well as the actions that 
would be taken in response to them if they did occur.

The Board has undertaken a specific assessment of 
internal control for the purpose of this Annual Report. 
This assessment considered all significant aspects of 
internal control during the year ended 31 December 
2012. Accordingly, the Board is satisfied that the Group 
continues to have an effective system of internal control.

corporate Social reSponSiBility
The Board has set policies for the Group to ensure that 
it operates worldwide in a safe, ethical and responsible 
manner, which protects the environment as well as 
safeguarding the health and safety of its employees, its 
customers and the communities in which it operates. 
These policies are intended to recognise, evaluate and 
manage responsibly environmental, health and safety 
risks through implementation of a comprehensive 
Global Environmental, Health and Safety Management 
System that standardises best operating practices, 
objectives, data collection, reporting, audits, 
performance indicators and goals. These policies  
are set out in more detail on pages 47 to 53.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportaudit coMMittee report

introduction By roBert Macleod, audit coMMittee chairMan
I am pleased to introduce the report of the Audit Committee for 2012.

In its recent report on Developments in Corporate Governance, the Financial Reporting Council asserted that 
reporting by audit committees remained ‘generally uninformative’. For this reason, it is introducing a number  
of changes to the UK Corporate Governance Code. These centre on the audit committee’s relationship with  
the external auditor and its review of financial statements.

Whilst these changes will only apply to financial years beginning on or after 1 October 2012, that is, not for this 
report, we hope that shareholders, whilst recognising that best practice in this area has yet to develop, will appreciate 
our attempt to address these issues and include rather more detail on what we do and what engages us at our meetings.

First, companies will be expected to put their external audit contract out to tender at least every 10 years or 
explain their reasons for not doing so. Aggreko last undertook a competitive tender for the external audit in 2006, 
following which PricewaterhouseCoopers were reappointed external auditor. We therefore have some time to 
review and agree a future process for the reappointment of the external auditor. Although it should be noted that 
we continue to assess the effectiveness and performance of the auditor on an annual basis (as described below).

Secondly, the report from the audit committee in the annual report will be required to disclose significant issues 
which the audit committee considered in relation to financial statements and how these issues were addressed, 
having regard to the matters communicated to it by the external auditor. We have included an explanation  
of what we think shareholders will find helpful in this year’s report.

Thirdly, the audit committee report will be required to include an explanation of how it assessed the 
effectiveness of the external audit process but no firm guidance was given on how to carry out this assessment. 
Without further guidance, we continue to assess the effectiveness of the external audit process each year, 
including assessing the results of a questionnaire circulated to the Committee and senior management.

Whilst the oversight of the external auditor and the review of financial statements are often seen as the audit 
committee’s main tasks, another important part of our remit involves reviewing Aggreko’s internal controls.  
We regularly review the Group’s financial controls – that is the systems to identify, assess, manage and monitor 
financial risk – and this year we were particularly keen to see that the Group was properly prepared for 
implementation of the new regional structure.

Our remit extends beyond just financial controls, so last year we also looked at:

within Aggreko International; and

 – the implications upon the internal control environment associated with the rapid growth of the local business 
 –  the Group’s IT risk management and governance framework.

This year we followed up with a more detailed review of the Group’s business continuity plans. Real incidents  
in 2012, including two hurricanes in the US and a data network outage in the UK, illustrated why this is such 
an important area. Each of these issues is covered in more detail below. 

There has been only one change to the Committee membership this year: in line with the UK Corporate 
Governance Code, Ken Hanna stepped down from the Committee following his appointment as Chairman  
of the Board on 25 April 2012.

reSponSiBilitieS and role oF the audit coMMittee
The Committee’s main responsibilities are to oversee and monitor:

external auditor, their audit and non-audit fees and independence; 

 – the relationship with the external auditor, the external audit process, including the appointment of the 
 – the nature and scope of the external audit and its effectiveness;
 – the effectiveness of internal audit and ensure co-ordination with the activities of the external audit;
 – the adequacy and security of the Company’s procedure for handling allegations from whistleblowers and  
 – the effectiveness of systems for internal financial control, financial reporting and risk management;
 – the integrity of the Company’s financial reports, including reviewing the findings of the external audit; and 
 – making appropriate recommendations to the Board.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012MeMBerShip oF the coMMittee
The members of the Committee during the year were as follows: 

Robert MacLeod 

 Chairman

David Hamill

Ken Hanna  

Russell King

(resigned from the Committee on 25 April 2012)

All members of the Committee are independent Non-executive Directors. Robert MacLeod, a chartered 
accountant and Group Finance Director of Johnson Matthey plc, brings a high level of current relevant financial 
experience to the Committee. Peter Kennerley is Secretary to the Committee. Ken Hanna, Rupert Soames, and 
Angus Cockburn, together with the Director of Finance and Director of Internal Audit generally attend meetings 
by invitation. We also ask other members of senior management to present to the Committee on a regular basis. 
The Group audit partner from our external auditor also generally attends the Committee. 

The Committee met three times during the year.

Main activitieS oF the coMMittee
External auditor
At each of our three regular meetings during the year, the Group audit partner from PricewaterhouseCoopers 
presents a report. The first one in the audit cycle is presented to the meeting when we review Aggreko’s Half 
Year results. This report contains the results of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ review of our Half Year Report, and  
also the core of the Group audit strategy and plan for the year end. This is generally followed up with a report in 
December, providing an update on the plan presented to the previous meeting, together with an early assessment 
of some of the issues identified at that stage. Finally, when the Committee meets to review the draft Annual 
Report, PricewaterhouseCoopers present a commentary report on their audit. At the end of this meeting we 
generally hold a separate session with the external auditor without members of management present.

Integrity of financial reports – Annual Report
At our March 2013 meeting, we reviewed salient features arising out of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ audit of the 
2012 Annual Report. We discussed these with management and satisfied ourselves that the issues raised had been 
properly dealt with. We reviewed the draft Annual Report, and after consideration of a paper on going concern 
prepared by the management, agreed to recommend the approval of the 2012 Annual Report to the Board. 

Amongst the matters we considered in relation to the Annual Report were:

Contract provisions
One of the biggest risks facing the Group is non-payment by customers under some of the larger contracts in our 
Power Projects business (see Principal Risks and Uncertainties – Failure to collect payments or to recover assets 
on page 30). Consequently, contract receivables and associated previsions within Power Projects is a key risk of 
the Group which the audit focuses on as one of its key risk areas. The Group policy is to consider each debtor 
and customer individually, within the relevant environment to which it relates, taking into account a number  
of factors, in accordance with appropriate accounting standards. We assessed the Group’s processes for calculating 
contract risk provisions and considered the external auditor’s findings arising from their audit, before reviewing 
the overall level of contract provisions held at year end.

Eskom/EDM project
Aggreko’s contract, announced in June 2012, to supply 107MW of power to Eskom, the South African power 
utility, and Electricidade de Mozambique is thought to be the first of its kind. Working with local companies, 
Aggreko was responsible for building gas connections, a major substation and 1.5km of transmission line. The 
total value of the project is estimated to be in the region of $279 million over two years, including fuel costs. 
Given the nature and size of the project, we assessed the relevant financial measurement and disclosure of the 
contract, including revenue and cost recognition and considered the auditor’s views.

Other issues
The other issues we considered, which the external auditor also addressed in their report, included provisions  
for direct and indirect tax and the accounting treatment for the Poit Energia acquisition. In particular we considered 
the accounting measurement and disclosure of the exceptional items (see Note 7 to the accounts on page 112).

63

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ Reportaudit coMMittee report CONTINUED

Going concern
In assessing whether the Company is a going concern, and accordingly making a recommendation to the  
Board, we considered a paper prepared by management based on guidance published by the Financial Reporting 
Council. The assessment was made for the period of 16 months to 30 June 2014, in accordance with accepted 
practice. Based on internal forecasts, we reviewed the Group’s debt maturity profile, including headroom and 
compliance with financial covenants. We stress tested this by adjusting the January 2013 internal Full Year 
forecast cash flow by a combination of two of the principal risks we have identified – an economic downturn 
leading to loss of revenue and customer default. (See Principal Risks and Uncertainties – Economic conditions,  
on page 29; and Failure to collect payments or to recover assets, on page 30).

Integrity of financial reports – Half Year Report
At the July 2012 meeting the Committee reviewed PricewaterhouseCoopers’ report on their Interim review.  
We also reviewed and recommended to the Board the Group’s Half Year Report. The matters we discussed in  
our review were similar to those discussed when reviewing the Annual Report, except that, since the Poit Energia 
acquisition had recently been completed, we discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers the accounting for the 
transaction, including the consideration paid and fair values.

Non-audit services policy and external auditor independence 
We reconfirmed our policy on non-audit services provided by the external auditor: individual fees in excess  
of 50% of the annual audit fee and any in excess of the aggregate fees above 100% of the audit fee require the 
Committee’s specific approval. Each year, we receive an analysis of the actual level and nature of non-audit 
work, and this year we were again satisfied that all non-audit work undertaken was in line with our policy and 
did not detract from the objectivity and independence of the external auditor. Further details of the fees paid  
to the external auditor are set out in Note 6 to the accounts on page 112.

External auditor effectiveness
Following completion of the 2011 year end process, the Committee assessed the audit process and the strategy 
for the 2012 audit and considered the performance of the external auditor.

Reappointment of external auditor
The Committee is again recommending to the Board that a proposal be put to shareholders at the 2013 Annual 
General Meeting for the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as external auditor. There are no contractual 
restrictions on the Company’s choice of external auditor, and in making our recommendation we took into 
account, amongst other matters, the objectivity and independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers, as well as their 
continuing effectiveness and fees.

Internal audit 
The internal audit team undertake financial, operational and strategic audits across the Aggreko Group using  
a risk based methodology. Group Internal Audit is also responsible for IT related audits, and these services are 
provided by an outsourced provider. Each year we agree the scope of work and coverage levels as part of the 
annual internal audit plan and review its progress during the year through reports at each meeting. During 2012 
130 audits were completed. Audits cover all parts of Aggreko, from Group level down to individual project sites, 
and all aspects of the business, for example, finance, purchasing, contract management and service and repair. 
Results are graded, and where audits are given a low score, Group Internal Audit agree appropriate remedial 
actions with the businesses concerned and report to us on progress.

We also considered all internal control issues raised in the internal audit reports, the adequacy of internal  
audit resources and the effectiveness of the internal audit function.

At least once each year we hold a private session with the Director of Internal Audit without other members  
of management being present.

Financial control and managing risk
Aggreko’s objective is to have a strong control environment that minimises financial risk, and as part of our 
responsibilities we review the effectiveness of systems for internal financial control, financial reporting and  
risk management. We aim to ensure that the same high standards are applied throughout the business with the 
framework set at Group level. Across the Group, there is a strong focus on training and development and this helps 
to underline the standards that we require. We then monitor this process through regular financial control reviews 
and a financial control checklist. This also enables us to set targets and identify and monitor areas for improvement.

64

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012We agreed a list of financial control deliverables for 2012, including further improvements in the financial 
control checklist scores and driving greater standardisation throughout the Group. At the end of the year, we 
reviewed progress and set targets for 2013. Our priorities included addressing countries with lower financial 
control checklist scores and ensuring that there was sufficient support at Group or regional level for our less 
mature businesses. 

The reorganisation of our regional structure presented fresh challenges. These included putting a new finance 
organisation in place, agreeing workflow and responsibilities for the Power Projects businesses under the new 
structure, reconfiguring reporting systems, processes and templates and reviewing delegations of authority and 
segregation of duties. Ernst & Young were also engaged to assess the tax impact of the reorganisation. 

We aim, on a regular basis, to look in some depth into the Group’s risk management processes. In 2012 we received 
a presentation on the Group’s business continuity planning from the Chief Information Officer. Following a recent 
review, we now have plans in place for all major locations. We were given details of a recent simulated incident 
played out at a regional office and the National Rental Centre in Cannock, UK. Information on the lessons learnt 
from the exercise and plans for similar exercises at other locations was included in the report. We also discussed 
the other main information technology risks facing the Group, including the integration of the Poit Energia 
acquisition and the proposed upgrade of our Movex enterprise resource planning system.

Whistleblowing
Part of our remit is to oversee Aggreko’s processes for handling allegations from whistleblowers. Aggreko’s Ethics 
Policy encourages all employees to report any potential improprieties in financial reporting or other matters. As part 
of this, Aggreko has an independent compliance hotline, operated by an external agency. The hotline is available 
to all employees, in all of the languages used throughout the Group, and callers can remain anonymous if they wish. 
All complaints are followed up, and in turn we receive regular reports analysing complaints. Where appropriate, 
Group Internal Audit is asked to investigate the issue and report to us on the outcome. We review these processes 
each year, and can confirm that they remain adequate for addressing the Company’s obligations under the Code.

Governance
Each year the Committee’s effectiveness is reviewed as part of the Board’s evaluation process. We also reviewed 
our terms of reference and recommended revised terms to the Board, which were approved in July.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ ReportethicS coMMittee report

introduction By ken hanna, ethicS coMMittee chairMan
I am pleased to introduce the report from the Ethics Committee for 2012.

During the year the Committee has continued to concentrate on anti-bribery and corruption issues against  
the background of a number of recent developments.

First, in September we announced a new regional structure. In the past we have taken the view that none of the 
businesses that we would consider to be at elevated risk of ethical issues came within the jurisdiction of the US 
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) – although we did model our compliance regime on the requirements of 
the FCPA since, until the implementation of the UK Bribery Act, it was seen as setting the highest standards. 
However, with the reorganisation of our regional businesses at the start of 2013, our Southern and Central 
American businesses will combine with those in North America, and it is arguable that in limited cases some 
parts of our business could now fall within the jurisdiction of the FCPA. Whether or not this is the case will,  
of course, depend on the particular circumstances, but in any event we think it would be prudent, in setting  
our standards, to have regard to both the UK Bribery Act and, where appropriate, the FCPA. 

Secondly, we have also agreed that, since each of the new regional businesses covers countries with heightened 
ethical risk, each regional Director will be invited to attend the Committee at least once each year.

Thirdly, although there have been no substantial changes in applicable law, both the UK Serious Fraud Office and 
the US Department of Justice have issued policy statements/guidance on the Bribery Act and FCPA respectively. 

Finally, there have been two changes to the membership of the Committee. I succeeded Philip Rogerson as 
Chairman on 25 April 2012 and Diana Layfield joined the Committee on 1 May 2012.

reSponSiBilitieS and role oF the ethicS coMMittee
The main responsibilities of the Committee are:

business dealings;

reporting of ethical risk;

 – to advise the Board on the development of strategy and policy on ethical matters;
 – to advise the Board on steps to be taken to establish a culture of integrity and honesty in all of the Company’s 
 – overseeing the Company’s policies and procedures for the identification, assessment, management and 
 – overseeing the Company’s policies and procedures to prevent persons associated with the Company from 
 – monitoring and reviewing the operation of the Company’s policies and procedures.

The Committee receives regular reports on the development of Aggreko’s anti-corruption and bribery strategy, 
including the communication of our procedures, together with associated training, legislative developments, 
reports of incidents and actions taken and the activities of our Sales Consultants. 

66

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Some of the particular matters addressed by the Committee during 2012 were:

Poit Energia 
Part of the Committee’s role is to ensure that we address ethical risk in the context of acquisitions, and we  
have established a process within the business to ensure that we address those risks in a proportionate way.

Aggreko acquired Poit Energia, the leading provider of temporary power and temperature control in South 
America, in the early part of 2012. In line with our processes, as part of Aggreko’s pre-acquisition due diligence 
we appointed external consultants to review the past ethical conduct of the company and its associates. They 
reported no significant issues of concern. We also gave employees of the acquired business appropriate training 
on Aggreko’s Ethics Policy as soon as practicable after of the acquisition was completed. 

Sales consultants
The most significant ethical risk we run is the behaviour of third party sales consultants (see the section entitled 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties – Failure to conduct business dealings with integrity and honesty, on pages 31 and 
32). In that section we summarise the steps we take to mitigate that risk through our approach to appointing, training, 
rewarding, controlling and monitoring our sales consultants. Given the significance of the risk, the Committee takes 
a special interest in this area. For the last two years we have received a report from Group Internal Audit on the 
operation of our policy for sales consultants, and in 2012 we separately reviewed the amounts paid to sales consultants 
as commission to ensure that they were in line with our policy. In each case we were satisfied with the report.

London 2012 Olympics
Aggreko’s appointment as exclusive supplier of temporary energy services for the London 2012 Olympic and 
Paralympics Games provided a unique opportunity to develop business relationships and demonstrate our products 
and services to existing and prospective customers and agents. This would normally include a visit with us to the 
Games, and associated hospitality, recognising that many of our customers will have travelled far to meet us.

We therefore drew up a policy specifically for the London 2012 Olympics to underpin our general policies.  
We appointed a steering committee of two Regional Directors, and no invitation was issued without the  
approval of the steering committee as to the identity of each guest. We kept a separate register of all invitations  
and specifically identified any individuals who might be categorised as foreign public officials. In line with our 
general policies, we sought to ensure that all invitations had a legitimate business purpose, were reasonable and 
proportionate and would not improperly influence any business decision. We also sought confirmation from each 
customer that the visit would comply with the customer’s own local legal requirements and was permitted and 
authorised by the customer’s own organisation. 

Once the Games were over, we commissioned Group Internal Audit to report on compliance with the policy. 
The report identified no improper conduct and we were pleased to conclude that the policy had been followed  
in all material respects. 

Governance
On an annual basis the Board reviews the Committee’s effectiveness as part of the Board’s evaluation process. 
We undertook a thorough review of our terms of reference and recommended minor revisions to the Board, 
which were adopted in July.

We last comprehensively reviewed our policies and procedures in 2011, following the implementation of the UK 
Bribery Act. We believe they have worked well in ensuring that our employees and agents comply with the high 
ethical standards we have set ourselves at Aggreko. But we continue to monitor the effectiveness of our regime 
and identify improvements, through formal reports and suggestions from our compliance staff and other employees. 
We are therefore currently reviewing our policies to reflect the recent regulatory guidance referred to above, the 
new Group structure, and the improvements and clarifications we have identified internally. Changes are likely 
to be minor, but we plan to implement them early in 2013.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ ReportnoMination coMMittee report

introduction By ken hanna, noMination coMMittee chairMan
I am delighted to introduce my first Report as Chairman of the Nomination Committee.

It has been a year of change for the Board. I succeeded Philip Rogerson as Chairman in April, following his 
retirement from Aggreko. We have appointed two new Non-executive Directors, and now women comprise  
40% of our Non-executive Directors. We announced a new global management structure in September:  
all three Regional Directors have stepped down from the Board, and we have appointed three new ones.

reSponSiBilitieS and role oF the noMination coMMittee 
The main responsibilities of the Committee are:

of Executive and Non-executive) of the Board and its Committees and make recommendations to the Board 
with regard to any changes; 

 – to review the structure, size and composition (including skills, knowledge, experience, diversity and balance  
 – to consider succession planning for Directors and other senior executives;
 – to identify and nominate for the approval of the Board, candidates to fill Board vacancies; and 
 – keep under review the time commitment expected from the Chairman and the Non-executive Directors.

The full Terms of Reference of the Committee are available on our website at http://ir.aggreko.com/ 
committee-terms-of-reference.

MeMBerShip oF the coMMittee 
The members of the Committee throughout the year were as follows:

Chairman (appointed as Chairman of the Committee on 25 April 2012)

Ken Hanna 

David Hamill

Russell King 

Robert MacLeod

Philip Rogerson 

(retired on 25 April 2012)

Rupert Soames

The majority of the members of the Committee are independent Non-executive Directors. Peter Kennerley  
is Secretary to the Committee and Siegfried Putzer, Group Human Resources Director, also attends meetings  
of the Committee by invitation. 

The Committee met six times during 2012.

Main activitieS oF the coMMittee during the year
Non-executive Director appointments
The Committee oversaw the appointment of two new Non-executive Directors in 2012. For each appointment, 
we prepared detailed candidate specifications, taking into account the existing skill set on the Board, which 
defined the criteria for the new appointees. We worked with external search consultants managing a formal, 
thorough and orderly search, reviewing all potential candidates that might fit our criteria. We interviewed 
rigorously and secured two excellent appointments to the Board. Diana Layfield was appointed on 1 May 2012 
bringing with her a wealth of experience directly relevant to Aggreko and in depth knowledge of many of our 
most important markets. Rebecca McDonald, an experienced Non-executive Director with extensive knowledge of 
the international energy markets was appointed on 1 October 2012. Diana and Rebecca have each undertaken 
an extensive induction programme to ensure a rounded understanding of the business. Further information on 
these induction programmes can be found on page 58 of the Corporate Governance Report.

Succession planning
The Committee continued to focus our attention to ensure that we had a robust management succession 
planning process in place for senior positions within the Group. We review the composition of the Board twice 
each year – in June and December – focusing in particular on Executive Director posts. In conjunction with the 
June meeting, the full Board then looks at people and posts at one or two levels below the Board, to identify 
possible candidates for succession to bigger roles, individual potential and development needs and areas where 
we might have to recruit from outside the Group to fill a future vacancy. We also look for opportunities for 
senior executives to move to other parts of the Group to gain experience in managing different businesses  
in different markets. This process enabled us to identify strong and experienced internal candidates to run  
the new Americas and Asia Pacific units created as part of the new global management structure announced  

68

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012in September 2012. Asterios Satrazemis, previously managing Aggreko’s Australia Pacific business, has now 
returned to the US, where he was previously responsible for the Northern Business Unit, to manage the 
Americas business and Debajit Das, who was running Aggreko’s Asia business has added the Australia Pacific 
business to his existing responsibilities. Each joined the Board on 1 January 2013. We conducted an external 
search to identify a candidate to run the Europe, Middle East and Africa region and were pleased to announce  
on 22 February 2013, that David Taylor-Smith had been selected for the post and accepted our offer. David 
Taylor-Smith will join the Board on 11 March 2013. 

New global management structure
Before the Board agreed on the new global management structure, announced in September 2012, the Committee 
carefully considered the qualifications required for the roles to lead the new business areas and the implications for 
the composition of the Board. The Committee believes that, in line with the Board’s policy of being able to hold 
to account the line managers who run the business on a daily basis, the three new regional Directors should be 
appointed to Executive Director roles. George Walker had already indicated his intention to step down from the 
Board and the Committee decided that it would not be appropriate to offer the newly created roles to the two 
other existing regional Directors. The Committee therefore oversaw the selection process for the three new roles, 
under which we identified internal candidates for two roles and conducted an external search for the third role, 
following which, the Committee made appropriate recommendations to the Board. Although replacing three 
Executive Directors in a short space of time would present challenges for the Board and for the management  
of the Group, the Committee was satisfied that the process could be successfully managed, particularly given  
the availability of two excellent internal candidates.

Board composition
The Board’s policy is to have a broad range of skills, background and experience. Operationally Aggreko is 
organised into three regions, and the Board has concluded that the ability to hold to account the line managers 
who run the business on a daily basis, to get their input into decision making, and to get the additional Board-level 
visibility which comes from having these executives as part of the Board adds real value, and is the appropriate 
choice. While we will continue to ensure that we appoint the best people for the relevant roles, we recognise  
the benefits of greater gender diversity and will continue to take account of this when considering any particular 
appointment. The appointment of two female Non-executive Directors is consistent with this policy.

As in previous years, as part of the Company’s annual evaluation of Board performance, all Directors were 
consulted on the composition of the Board, as to size, the appropriate range of skills and balance between 
Executive and Non-executive Directors. Following the Non-executive appointments and announcement  
of our new global management structure, we now believe we have the right composition. 

Committee appointments
We recommended three committee appointments. As noted above, I became Chairman of the Committee in 
April 2012. Given Diana Layfield’s experience in operating in countries facing high ethical risks, similar to many 
of those in which we operate, we recommended her appointment to the Ethics Committee. Similarly, we decided 
that Rebecca McDonald’s previous experience as a Non-executive Director in other companies would strengthen 
the Remuneration Committee. 

Governance
Each year the Board reviews the Committee’s effectiveness as part of the Board’s evaluation process.  
We undertook a thorough review of our terms of reference and recommended revised terms to the Board,  
which were approved in July.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ ReportreMuneration report

SuMMary StateMent

A statement to shareholders from the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee.

On behalf of the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to present the Directors’ Remuneration Report for the 
year ended 31 December 2012.

Aggreko’s remuneration policy remained unchanged during 2012, and our approach to implementation has also 
remained consistent with previous years. The Remuneration Committee’s focus is on ensuring that the way we 
manage remuneration for Executives rewards them for delivering what we see as being their central responsibility 
– to increase the value of the business to shareholders consistently and over a long period of time. 

The main focus of the Committee’s work is to manage the various aspects of the remuneration package of 
Executive Directors at Aggreko which comprises:

 – salary;
 – annual bonus;
 – the Company’s Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP);
 – pension and life assurance; and
 – other benefits, including healthcare and expatriate benefits for Directors seconded away from their home country.

The Committee met four times during 2012; details of members’ attendance are set out in the table on page 59. 

The main tasks for the Committee during 2012 were:

 – Reviewed and approved the Executive Directors’ bonuses for 2011.
 – Set targets for Executive Directors’ bonuses for 2012.
 – Reviewed performance and approved the vesting of 2009 LTIP awards.
 – Reviewed and approved targets for the 2012 LTIP grant.
 – Reviewed and recommended to the Board the remuneration for Ken Hanna on his appointment as Chairman.
 – Decided on levels of pay and benefit increases in the annual salary review.
 – Approved the financial arrangements for Directors upon their redundancies.
 – Approved the proposed remuneration packages for the new regional Directors.
 – Reviewed the possible changes in reporting requirements and ensured that Aggreko was compliant.
 – Consulted informally with major shareholders on matters of remuneration policy.

The Committee is aware of the ongoing public debate on executive remuneration in the UK and is sensitive to the 
concerns of shareholders and other stakeholders on this subject. During the year, the Committee has kept abreast of 
the developments in regulatory thinking on shareholder voting rights and the reporting of Directors’ remuneration. 
Although the proposed new reporting requirements are not yet finalised, we have opted to incorporate a number 
of the proposed changes in this year’s report to enhance transparency. This report is therefore divided into two 
distinct sections: a ‘Policy Report’ and an ‘Implementation Report’. The Policy Report outlines Aggreko’s 
remuneration policy for 2013, setting out the role of each element of pay, how the structure of the package helps 
reinforce the achievement of Aggreko’s strategy, and details of reward opportunities available to the Company’s 
Executive Directors. The Implementation Report details how the policy was implemented in 2012, and includes 
a table for the new single figure of total remuneration for all Directors. We hope these changes help make the 
Remuneration Report clearer and easier to understand, and would welcome any feedback.

This Report covers the period 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2012 and provides details of the Remuneration 
Committee’s role and the remuneration policy we apply in decisions on executive remuneration. The structure 
of this report has been modified from previous years to take account of the proposed regulations put forward  
by The Department of Business, Innovation and Skills.

The Company has complied with the principles and provisions relating to Directors’ remuneration in the UK 
Corporate Governance Code, and this Remuneration Report has been prepared in accordance with the Large & 
Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. In accordance with Section 439 
of the Companies Act 2006, an advisory resolution to approve this report will be proposed at the AGM on  
25 April 2013.

In accordance with the Regulations, the following sections of the Remuneration Report are subject to audit: 
Pensions & Benefits (pages 79 and 80), 2009 LTIP Awards Vesting (pages 82 and 83), 2012 LTIP Awards Granted 
& Sharesave Plans (pages 83 and 84), and Directors’ Emoluments table (pages 86 and 87). The remaining sections 
of the Remuneration Report are not subject to audit.

reMuneration coMMittee
The Committee’s principal function is to determine Aggreko’s policy on executive remuneration and to approve 
specific remuneration packages for its Executive Directors, Company Secretary and such senior members of the 
executive management, for example the Executive Committee, as it is asked by the Board to consider, including 
their service contracts with the Company. The Committee’s remit includes, but is not restricted to, basic salary, 
benefits in kind, performance related awards, share options and share awards, long-term incentive schemes, 
pension rights, and any compensation or termination payments. The Committee also has responsibility for 
making a recommendation to the Board in respect of the remuneration of the Chairman.

policy report

Key principles of the remuneration policy
The Committee has adopted a number of principles which it applies to the way it sets, balances and adjudicates 
different elements of remuneration for the Executive Directors. As a general policy, we aim to ensure that  
our remuneration policy rewards executives for delivering what we see as being their central responsibility –  
to increase the value of the business to shareholders consistently and over a long period of time. 

More specifically, our policy is to have a reward package structured such that:

size and complexity;

 – the fixed element of pay (i.e. salary, pension and benefits) is around the median for companies of similar  
 – the majority of executive remuneration is linked to Aggreko’s performance, with a heavier weighting on  
 – the remuneration packages reward a balanced portfolio of measures which deliver value for shareholders, 

which can be independently verified, and which give clear ‘line-of-sight’ to the Executives.

long-term performance than on short-term performance; and

In determining the Company’s remuneration policy, the Remuneration Committee takes into account the 
particular business context of Aggreko plc, the industry in which we operate, the geography of our operations, 
the relevant talent market(s) for each of our Executives, as well as the best practice guidelines published by 
institutional shareholders and their representative bodies.

The Remuneration Committee will keep remuneration policy under review during the forthcoming year, and,  
in doing so, will continue to give full consideration to the principles set out in the UK Corporate Governance 
Code in relation to Directors’ remuneration and to the guidance of investor representative bodies.

In particular, the Remuneration Committee intends to review all aspects of 2013 variable pay to ensure it 
continues to be aligned with the Remuneration Policy and Company strategy. The Committee will consult  
with major shareholders before making any significant changes.

Changes for 2013

Annual Bonus Scheme
Aims to focus 
Executive Directors on 
achieving demanding 
annual targets relating 
to Company 
performance.

Performance measures and 
targets are set at the start of 
the year and are weighted 
to reflect the balance  
of Group and regional 
responsibilities for  
each executive.

For the Chief Executive and the former 
President, North America, the maximum 
annual bonus opportunity is 125% of 
salary; on-budget opportunity of 62.5%  
of salary for Chief Executive and 67.5%  
of salary for the former President,  
North America. 

Performance measures 
used for the 2012 
annual bonus are  
set out in the 
Implementation  
Report on pages  
80 and 81.

LTIP
Aims to align  
the interests of 
shareholders and 
management in 
growing the value  
of the business over 
the long-term.

At the end of the year, the 
Remuneration Committee 
determines the extent to 
which these have been 
achieved. The Remuneration 
Committee has the ability  
to exercise discretion to 
adjust for factors outside 
management control.

The LTIP comprises a 
Performance Share Plan 
(PSP) and Co-investment 
Plan (CIP).

Award levels and 
performance conditions  
are reviewed from time  
to time to ensure they 
remain appropriate.

Currently, 75% of the LTIP 
performance is measured 
against growth in real 
compound Diluted Earnings 
per Share, and 25% against 
Return on Capital Employed.

For the CFO maximum annual bonus 
opportunity is 100% of salary; on-budget 
opportunity of 50% of salary.

For the other Executive Directors, maximum 
annual bonus opportunity is 100% of salary; 
on-budget opportunity of 55% of salary.

The PSP provides for a nil-cost conditional 
award of shares worth up to a normal 
aggregate limit of 100% of salary  
per annum.

The CIP is a Co-investment plan under 
which selected executives can voluntarily 
purchase Aggreko shares up to a value of 
30% of their salary, which are then subject 
to a maximum ‘match’ by the Company  
up to 2:1.

Awards under both PSP and CIP are 
subject to both a ‘basic’ and ‘super’ 
performance condition. The CIP ‘basic’ 
performance condition does not however 
apply to the ‘Minimum Match’ of 1:2.

The super performance condition requires 
exceptional earnings per share based on 
performance, which if satisfied, multiplies 
the number of shares that vest under the 
basic condition by a factor between 1.3 
and 2 times. Accordingly, if both the basic 
and super performance conditions are 
satisfied in full Executives may receive up  
to a maximum of 200% of salary’s worth  
of shares under the PSP and a 4:1 match 
on investment shares under the CIP.

The vesting of awards 
is usually subject to:

employment;

–  continued 
–  the Company’s 

performance over a 
3-year performance 
period.

The performance 
measures applied  
to LTIP awards are 
reviewed from time  
to time to ensure they 
remain appropriate 
and aligned with 
shareholder interests. 
Measures used for  
the 2012 LTIP award 
are set out in the 
Implementation  
Report on pages  
81 and 82.

No change.

For the new post  
of Regional Director, 
Americas, the 
maximum annual 
bonus opportunity  
will be 100% of salary,  
in line with other 
Executive Directors.

No change.

Share ownership guidelines
The Committee has a policy of encouraging Executive Directors to acquire and retain a material number of shares in 
the Company, with the objective of further aligning their long-term interests with those of other shareholders. Under 
this policy, Executive Directors who are not within five years of their normal retirement age should hold at least 50% 
of the net proceeds from any shares vesting until their aggregate shareholding is equivalent to at least 100% of their 
salary. Current Executive Director shareholdings are set out in the Implementation Report on pages 85 and 86.

Remuneration of senior executives below the Board 
The policy and practice with regard to the remuneration of senior executives below the Board is consistent with 
that for the Executive Directors. Senior executives participate in the LTIP with the same performance measures 
applied. In 2012, 150 individuals – about 2.6% of employees – were invited to join one or both of the Plans.

In making remuneration decisions, the Remuneration Committee also considers the pay and employment conditions 
elsewhere in the Group, and is informed of changes to broader employee pay. The Remuneration Committee does 
not specifically consult with employees over the effectiveness and appropriateness of the remuneration policy and 
framework, although as members of the Board they receive the results of the Company’s periodical employee 
satisfaction survey which includes questions covering remuneration. 

The increase to the base salaries of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1 July 2012  
of 8.9% and 8.1%, respectively, is above the average increase across the Group of 4%. However, the salaries  
of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer remain well below median, and their larger increases reflect  
a move towards median, in line with our policy, over time. 

Details of Executive Directors’ service contracts
The Executive Directors are employed under contracts of employment with Aggreko plc. The Remuneration 
Committee sets notice periods for the Executive Directors at 12 months or less, which reduces the likelihood

Exit payments policy
The Company’s policy is to limit severance payments on termination to pre-established contractual 
arrangements. In the event that the employment of an Executive Director is terminated, any compensation 
payable will be determined in accordance with the terms of the service contract between the Company and  
the employee, as well as the rules of any incentive plans. It is also the Company’s policy to negotiate extended 
non-compete agreements where they are considered appropriate to protect the Company’s interests.

Under normal circumstances, the Company may terminate the employment of an Executive Director by making 
a payment in lieu of notice equivalent to basic salary and benefits for the notice period at the rate current at the 
date of termination. In case of gross misconduct, a provision is included in the executive’s contract for immediate 
dismissal with no compensation payable. 

In the event an Executive Director leaves for reasons of death, ill-health, injury, redundancy, retirement with 
the agreement of the Company, or his employing Company’s ceasing to be a member of the Group or other such 
event as the Remuneration Committee determines, then Performance Share Plan awards held for less than one 
year will lapse; those held for more than one year will be pro-rated for time and will vest based on performance 
over the performance period as determined by the Remuneration Committee. Co-investment Plan awards held 
for less than one year will give the Minimum Match only; those held for more than one year will vest over the 
Minimum Match and the remainder will be pro-rated for time and vest as soon as practicable after the date of 
leaving, based on performance up to that date.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ ReportreMuneration report CONTINUED

Upon the occurrence of a takeover, scheme of arrangement, winding-up or a demerger (a ‘Corporate Event’), 
Performance Share Plan awards held for less than one year will lapse: Co-investment Plan awards held for less 
than one year will vest in part in respect only of the Minimum Match (i.e. on a 1:2 basis). LTIP awards granted 
at least 12 months prior to the date of the relevant Corporate Event will vest to the extent that, in the opinion 
of the Committee, the Performance Conditions have been/or would have been satisfied on the date of the 
relevant Corporate Event. 

For all other leavers, outstanding LTIP awards will normally lapse. The Remuneration Committee retains discretion 
to alter these provisions on a case-by-case basis, following a review of circumstances, to ensure fairness for both 
shareholders and participants. 

External appointments
It is the Board’s policy to allow the Executive Directors to accept directorships of other quoted companies. Any 
such directorships must be formally approved by the Chairman of the Board. Details of external directorships 
held by Executive Directors, together with fees retained during the year are as follows:

iMpleMentation report

The following section provides details of how the remuneration policy was implemented during the year.

Remuneration Committee membership in 2012
The Remuneration Committee is composed of four independent Non-executive Directors, together with the 
Chairman of the Company (who was an Independent Non-executive Director before his appointment as Chairman). 
The Remuneration Committee met four times during the year. Attendance at meetings by individual members is 
detailed in the Corporate Governance Report on page 59. The Committee consulted the then current Chairman 
of the Company, the Chief Executive and the Group Human Resources Director and invited them to attend 
meetings when appropriate. No Director is present when his own remuneration is being discussed.

Advisers
The Committee re-appointed Kepler Associates and New Bridge Street (which is part of Aon plc) as the 
principal external advisers to the Committee for 2012. During the year, Kepler Associates provided independent 
advice on a wide range of remuneration matters including current market practice, benchmarking of executive 
pay and incentive design. New Bridge Street was engaged by the Company Secretary to advise the Committee 
and the Company generally on revisions to and administration of the Company’s share plans. Simmons & 
Simmons LLP were engaged by the Group Human Resources Director to provide legal advice to the Committee 
and employment law advice concerning senior executives to the Company.

Each of these advisers is independent and, except as described above, does not provide any other services to the 
Group. Kepler Associates and New Bridge Street are members of the Remuneration Consultants Group and are 
signatories to its code of conduct. The fees paid to advisers in respect of work carried out in 2012 are shown in

Note 1 

 Kash Pandya will continue to be employed by the Company until 15 September 2013 in accordance with the arrangements described  
in ‘Exit arrangements made during the year’ on page 84. It is estimated that the salary/fees, benefits and pension that would be payable  
for the period 1 January 2013 to 15 September 2013 will be £331,600.

Note 2 

 This is paid in local currency and for the purposes of this table has been converted into Sterling using the average year to date exchange 
rate of £1 = US$1.5854.

Note 3 

 Bill Caplan resigned as a Director on 13 November 2012 and his salary/fees, benefits, pension and bonus are shown pro-rated to that  
date. He will continue to be employed by the Company until 30 September 2013 in accordance with the arrangements described in ‘Exit 
arrangements made during the year’ on page 84. It is estimated that the salary/fees, benefits, pension and 2012 pro-rated annual bonus 
that would be payable for the period 14 November 2012 to 30 September 2013 will be £364,200. 

The figures have been calculated as follows:

1.  Base salary/fees: amount earned for the year.

2.  Benefits: the taxable value of benefits received in the year.

3. 

 Pension: the amount of any Company pension contributions and cash in lieu. The increase in transfer value 
of Angus Cockburn’s interest in the defined benefit scheme is not included in this table but is referred to  
on page 80.

4.  Annual bonus: the total bonus earned on performance during the year.

5. 

 LTIP: the market value of shares to vest under the 2010 LTIP on 15 April 2013 on performance to 31 December 
2012 (73% vesting on performance) based on the average market value over the last quarter of 2012 of 2128.59p. 
Details of awards under the 2009 LTIP, which vested on 16 April 2012, are not included in this table but 
are set out on pages 82 and 83.

Base salary
Annual salaries for Executive Directors are generally reviewed each year by the Committee. Salaries are 
determined by a combination of the individual’s contribution to the business, the market rate for the position 
and the range of salary increases applying across the Group. We aim to pay the market median for standard 
performance and up to market upper quartile for upper quartile performance. On occasions it may be necessary  
to pay above the market median to attract people of the right calibre to meet the needs of the business. In setting 
Executive Director salaries, as with other elements of their remuneration, the Committee has discretion to 
consider all relevant factors, including performance on environmental, social and governance issues.

The appropriate market rate is the rate in the market place from which the individual is most likely to be 
recruited. The Company operates in a number of market places throughout the world where remuneration 
practices and levels differ. This can result in pay and benefit differentials between the Executive Directors. In 
arriving at an appropriate market rate, we commission studies from our advisers, who carry out in-depth research  
on the practices of Aggreko’s peer group to establish accurate benchmarks. The same approach is taken for 
expatriate and overseas salaries where reference is made to the appropriate data for the geographical location.

Pensions
Executive Directors participate in pension schemes or receive cash in lieu with a value appropriate to the median 
practice in their home countries.

In 2002 the Company closed its Defined Benefits scheme for UK employees to new joiners, and as a consequence 
Angus Cockburn is the only Director who is a member of this scheme. The other Executive Directors are members 
of the Aggreko plc Group Personal Pension Plan, which is a defined contribution scheme. Rupert Soames is 
entitled to a pension contribution from the Company of 30% of his basic salary (25% prior to 1 July 2012)  
and other Executives are entitled to a Company contribution of 20%. With effect from April 2011 no further 
contributions are being made to the Plan for Rupert Soames and he receives a cash payment in lieu. Other 
Executive Directors have elected to take part of the Company contribution into the Group Personal Pension 
Plan and part as a cash payment. These cash payments are shown as Cash payments in lieu of pension in the 
Emoluments table on page 86. George Walker is entitled to participate in the Employees’ Savings Investment 
Retirement plan and the Supplemental Executive Retirement plan of Aggreko LLC, which is governed by the 
laws of the United States. These plans allowed contributions by the employee and the Group to be deferred for 
tax. Contributions paid by the Company under the defined contribution plans during the year are as follows:

the average year to date exchange rate of £1 = US$1.5854 (2011: 1.6031).

Angus Cockburn joined the Company before 1 April 2002 and is a member of the Aggreko plc Pension Scheme 
which is a funded, defined benefit scheme approved by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs. The key elements  
of his benefits are:

 – a normal retirement age of 60;
 – for service up to 31 December 2006, a benefit accrual rate of 1/30th on a ‘final salary’ basis for each year’s 
 – for service after 1 January 2007 and up to 30 April 2011, a benefit accrual rate of 1/30th on a ‘career average’ 

service (final salary is subject to the earnings cap for service to 5 April 2006);

basis for each year’s service;

79

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ ReportreMuneration report CONTINUED

 – for service from 1 May 2011, no further defined benefit pension is accrued;
 – an employee contribution rate of 6% of Pensionable Earnings. Employee contributions ceased on 30 April 2011;
 – a spouse’s pension on death.

As a result of opting out of making further contributions to the Aggreko plc Pension Scheme with effect from  
30 April 2011, Angus Cockburn now receives a cash payment in lieu of the pension he would otherwise have 
built up. This cash payment is paid net of the member contributions he would have been required to pay to  
the scheme and is broadly an estimate of the cost to the Company of providing the benefits being given up.

For 2012 the cash payments were equivalent to £178,494 (2011: £116,270). For 2013 onwards, the amount  
will be adjusted by CPI growth each year subject to a minimum of 25% of salary.

This is shown as Cash payments in lieu of pension in the Emoluments table on page 86.

Angus Cockburn’s transfer value has increased by 5.5% over 2012. The main factors were the increase in his 
pension entitlement for statutory revaluation (5%), which was greater than the previous RPI assumption (3.4%), 
the fact that he is one year older and that (all else being equal) the assumptions used to calculate the transfer 
value as at 31 December 2012 place a slightly lower value on the liability than those used at the end of 2011. 

The transfer value has been calculated in accordance with the methods and assumptions underlying the calculation 
of cash equivalents under the Aggreko plc Pension Scheme, which are in line with the Occupational Pension 
Schemes (Transfer Values) Regulations 1996.

The accrued pension is the amount which would be paid at the anticipated retirement date based on a date  
of leaving the Scheme of 30 April 2011, with allowance for one statutory revaluation increase in the period  
to 31 December 2012. No allowance is made for any further statutory increases from 31 December 2012.

Angus Cockburn is also entitled to a pension of £2,162 per annum payable from age 60 from the Aggreko plc 
Pension Scheme resulting from benefits transferred in from the scheme of a previous employer. This benefit  
is not included in the above disclosure.

All Executive Directors who are members of a pension plan are provided with a lump sum death in service 
benefit of four times salary.

Benefits
All the Executive Directors receive health-care benefits and life assurance cover. Rupert Soames and Angus 
Cockburn receive the benefit of a Company-funded car and George Walker receives a car allowance. On joining 
the Company David Taylor-Smith will receive a Company-funded car. Kash Pandya, who was seconded from the 
UK to Dubai, received an overseas secondment package covering the cost of housing in Dubai and use of local 
facilities, a car allowance, and a contribution to school fees. Debajit Das receives an overseas secondment package 
to cover housing, travel allowance, car allowance and a contribution to school fees, and Asterios Satrazemis is 
entitled to a repatriation allowance to cover the cost of returning to the USA from Australia which includes  
an accommodation allowance and contribution to school fees; he is also entitled to receive a car allowance.

Annual Bonus Scheme
The purpose of the Annual Bonus Scheme is to align Executive Directors with performance during the year, and 
to motivate them to meet and beat demanding annual performance targets. In 2012 the on-budget and maximum 
bonus earnings for the Executive Directors were:

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012The targets for the Annual Bonus Scheme are tied to the Annual Budgets set by the Board and have due regard 
to external forecasts. Generally, bonuses will start to be earned at performance levels a few percentage points 
below Budget, increase sharply to Budget, and then increase until they reach capped levels, which will generally 
be at 10-15% above Budget. Executive Directors with regional management responsibilities have half of their 
bonus related to the performance of their region (as measured by trading profit and return on capital employed) 
and half related to Diluted Earnings Per Share (D-EPS). The Chief Executive’s and Chief Financial Officer’s 
bonuses are measured exclusively against D-EPS.

D-EPS is calculated on a constant currency basis, using exchange rates fixed at the beginning of the year, so that 
the bonus reflects the true performance of the business, and not currency movements. The Budget for bonus 
purposes was set at D-EPS of 106.84p; the actual outcome on the adjusted basis set out above was 102.14p, 
representing growth of 14.8% over the prior year, and 95.6% of Budget. 

Readers are referred to our Review of Trading, where the difference between headline growth and underlying 
growth is set out; in 2012 the actual rate of underlying growth in Trading Profit, as defined in the Review of 
Trading, was 6%.

To reflect the new Group structure the Committee will be reviewing the targets for the 2013 Annual Bonus 
Scheme in April 2013.

Long-term Incentive Plan
The LTIP was first introduced in 2004, and each year senior executives are invited to join. It consists of two 
distinct elements: the Performance Share Plan (PSP) and the Co-investment Plan (CIP). 

The PSP and CIP are both measured against performance over three financial years and they share the same 
performance criteria. These are the real compound annual growth rate of Diluted Earnings per Share (D-EPS), 
and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). This directly aligns both elements of the LTIP with Group strategy 
and measures performance against what the Board believes are Key Performance Indicators.

The PSP is a nil-cost conditional award of shares which vest depending on performance against the targets; the 
number of shares conditionally awarded is related to the salary of the individual concerned and his or her level 
within the Company. The PSP provides for annual awards of performance shares up to an aggregate limit of 
100% of salary in normal circumstances and 200% of salary in exceptional circumstances.

The CIP is a Co-investment plan, whose purpose it is to encourage executives to buy and hold shares in the 
Company. Participants can subscribe to purchase Aggreko shares up to a value of 30% of their salary, each year 
that they are invited to join the CIP; if they hold those shares for three years, (or, if earlier, the date that their 
CIP award vests), they will be entitled to receive a minimum award of one share for every two they subscribed 
(the Minimum Match), plus a performance-related award of a further three shares for every two they subscribed. 
The Minimum Match is not subject to performance conditions.

The performance criteria for the LTIP are set annually; in 2012 they were:

performance measurement period in a range of 3% to 10%. No performance shares will be awarded against this 
element if performance is less than 3% and awards will increase straight-line to the maximum at 10% growth.

 – 75% of the award is based on CPI inflation-adjusted compound annual growth in D-EPS over the three-year 
 – 25% of the award is based on average ROCE over the performance period in a range of 26% to 28%. No 

performance shares will be awarded against this element if performance is less than 26% and awards will 
increase straight-line to the maximum at 28% ROCE.

In addition to the above, and to reward truly exceptional performance, the number of shares awarded to participants in 
the both elements of the 2012 LTIP may be increased by between 1.3 and 2 times if the real compound annual growth 
in D-EPS over the three-year performance measurement period is in a range of 13% to 20%, as illustrated below:

2009 LTIP awards vesting

The performance period for the 2009 LTIP awards ended on 31 December 2011. Over the period:

This exceeded the upper limit of the performance range and accordingly all 75% of the award vested under 
this criterion.

 – Aggreko’s aggregate D-EPS was 228.2p which is the equivalent of a real compound annual growth rate of 24%. 
 – Aggreko’s actual average ROCE for the period was 29.5%, which exceeded the upper limit of the performance 
 – Further, as real compound annual growth in D-EPS exceeded 20%, the enhanced LTIP was triggered. This resulted 

in the maximum 2 times multiple being applied to the total number of shares vesting based on the above criteria.

range and accordingly all 25% of the award vested under this criterion.

This combined performance resulted in 100% of 2009 LTIP awards vesting:

Each of the above awards was granted on 16 April 2009. The market price of the shares on that date was 533.5p. 
Therefore 76% of the value of the award to participants was derived from share price accretion during the period.

The aggregate gain made on these exercises was £20,484,787 of which £7,098,423 related to the gain of the 
highest paid Director.

The market price of the shares at 31 December 2012 was 1740 pence and the range during the year was 1664 pence 
to 2400 pence.

In 2011 the performance criteria were identical to 2012. In 2010 they were similar, except that the range for the 
ROCE performance condition was 25% to 27%.

2012 LTIP awards granted
In April 2012 Executive Directors were granted awards of shares under the PSP and CIP ranging from 70% to 100% 
of salary. The three year performance period over which D-EPS and ROCE performance will be measured began on  
1 January 2012 and will end on 31 December 2014. None of the awards granted under the 2012 LTIP are eligible to 
vest until 16 April 2015 (except in certain circumstances where a CIP participant ceases to be an employee of the 
Group, as described on page 75). The performance conditions attached to awards are discussed on pages 81 and 82.

Sharesave Plans
The Board believes that Sharesave schemes are valuable in aligning the interests of employees and shareholders, and 
the Company seeks to make it possible for as many employees as practicable to join the scheme or its various proxies. 
In 2012, there were 2,192 employees in Aggreko subscribing to Sharesave Plans. The Aggreko Sharesave Plans are 
normally offered annually to employees and Executive Directors who have at least three months’ continuous service, 
and allow a maximum of £250 per month to be saved and converted into Aggreko shares at the end of either two, 
three, four or five year periods, depending on local legislation. The options under the Sharesave Option Schemes have 
been granted at a 20% discount on the share price calculated over the three days prior to the date of invitation to 
participate, mature after three years and are normally exercisable in the six months following the maturity date. The 
options under the US Stock Purchase Plan have been granted at a discount of 15% on the closing share price on the 
date of grant, mature after two years and are normally exercisable in the three months following the maturity date.

The following table shows the interests of the Directors who served during the year in the Group’s LTIP and 
Sharesave plans.

penSionS
The assets of the UK defined-benefit pension fund are 
controlled by the Directors of Aggreko Pension Scheme 
Trustee Limited; they are held separately from the 
assets of the Company and invested by independent 
fund managers. These segregated funds cannot be 
invested directly in the Company. Four trustees have 
been appointed by the Company and, in addition, one 
member-nominated trustee has been appointed. This 
fund was closed to new employees joining the Group 
after 1 April 2002; new UK employees are now offered 
membership of a Group Personal Pension Plan.

(either personally or by proxy or by a corporate 
representative) at any general meeting of the 
Company or at any separate general meeting of the 
holders of any class of shares in the Company if any 
calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect 
of that share remain unpaid or if he is a person with  
a 0.25 per cent interest (as defined in the Articles) 
and he has been served with a restriction notice  
(as defined in the Articles) after failure to provide  
the Company with information concerning interests 
in those shares required to be provided under the 
Companies Acts.

Share capital
On 31 December 2012 the Company had in issue 
268,366,083 ordinary shares of 13549/775p each 
(‘ordinary shares’), 18,352,057,648 deferred shares  
of 1/775 pence each and 182,700,915 deferred shares  
of 618/25 pence each (‘Deferred Shares’) comprising 
74.62%, 0.48% and 24.90% respectively of the 
Company’s issued share capital. Details of the changes 
in issued share capital during the year are shown in 
Note 23 to the accounts.

rightS and oBligationS  
attached to ShareS
Subject to applicable statutes (in this section  
referred to as the ‘Companies Acts’) and to any  
rights conferred on the holders of any other shares, 
any share may be issued with or have attached to it 
such rights and restrictions as the Company may by 
ordinary resolution decide or, if no such resolution  
has been passed or so far as the resolution does not 
make specific provision, as the Board may decide.

Voting
Subject to any special terms as to voting upon which 
any shares may be issued or may for the time being be 
held and to any other provisions of the Articles, on a 
show of hands every member who is present in person 
or by proxy or represented by a corporate representative 
at a general meeting of the Company has one vote.  
On a poll every member who is present in person or  
by proxy or represented by a corporate representative 
has one vote for every share of which he is the holder. 
In the case of joint holders of a share the vote of the 
senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by 
proxy, is accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the 
other joint holders and, for this purpose, seniority is 
determined by the order in which the names stand  
in the register in respect of the joint holding.

The holders of the Deferred Shares are not entitled to 
receive notice of any general meeting of the Company 
or to attend, speak or vote at any such meeting.

Restrictions on voting
No member is, unless the Board otherwise decides, 
entitled in respect of any share held by him to vote 

88

The Company is not aware of any agreement between 
holders of securities that may result in restrictions on 
voting rights.

Dividends and other distributions
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts,  
the Company may by ordinary resolution from time  
to time declare dividends in accordance with the 
respective rights of the members, but no dividend  
can exceed the amount recommended by the Board. 

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts,  
the Board may pay such interim dividends as appear  
to the Board to be justified by the financial position of 
the Company and may also pay any dividend payable at 
a fixed rate at intervals settled by the Board whenever 
the financial position of the Company, in the opinion 
of the Board, justifies its payment. If the Board acts  
in good faith, it shall not incur any liability to the 
holders of any shares for any loss they may suffer in 
consequence of the payment of an interim or fixed 
dividend on any other class of shares ranking pari 
passu with or after those shares. 

The Deferred Shares confer no right to participate  
in the profits of the Company.

On a return of capital on a winding-up (excluding any 
intra-Group reorganisation on a solvent basis), holders 
of Deferred Shares are entitled to be paid the nominal 
capital paid up or credited as paid up on such Deferred 
Shares after paying to the holders of the ordinary 
shares the nominal capital paid up or credited as paid 
up on the ordinary shares held by them respectively, 
together with the sum of £100,000,000 on each 
ordinary share.

The Board may deduct from any dividend or other 
moneys payable to a member by the Company on  
or in respect of any shares all sums of money (if any) 
presently payable by him to the Company on account 
of calls or otherwise in respect of shares of the 
Company. The Board may also withhold payment  
of all or any part of any dividends or other moneys 
payable in respect of the Company’s shares from  
a person with a 0.25 per cent interest (as defined  

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012in the Articles) if such a person has been served with  
a restriction notice (as defined in the Articles) after 
failure to provide the Company with information 
concerning interests in those shares required to be 
provided under the Companies Acts.

Variation of rights
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, 
rights attached to any class of shares may be varied 
either with the consent in writing of the holders of 
not less than three-fourths in nominal value of the 
issued shares of that class (excluding any shares of that 
class held as treasury shares) or with the sanction of a 
special resolution passed at a separate general meeting 
of the holders of those shares. The necessary quorum 
applying to any such separate general meeting is two 
persons holding or representing by proxy not less  
than one-third in nominal value of the issued shares 
of the class (excluding any shares of that class held  
as treasury shares), (but at any adjourned meeting  
one holder present in person or by proxy (whatever 
the number of shares held by him) will constitute a 
quorum); every holder of shares of the class present in 
person or by proxy (excluding any shares of that class 
held as treasury shares) is entitled on a poll to one 
vote for every share of the class held by him (subject 
to any rights or restrictions attached to any class of 
shares) and any holder of shares of the class present  
in person or by proxy may demand a poll. 

reStrictionS on tranSFer oF 
SecuritieS in the coMpany
There are no restrictions on the transfer of securities 
in the Company, except that: 

imposed by laws and regulations (for example, 
insider trading laws);

 – pursuant to the Listing Rules of the Financial Services 

Authority certain employees and Directors of the 
Company require the approval of the Company  
to deal in the Company’s ordinary shares; and

 – the Deferred Shares are not transferable except in 

accordance with the paragraph headed ‘Powers in 
relation to the Company issuing or buying back its 
own shares’ below or with the written consent of 
the Directors.

The Company is not aware of any agreements between 
holders of securities that may result in restrictions on 
the transfer of securities.

aMendMent oF articleS  
oF aSSociation
Unless expressly specified to the contrary in the 
Articles of the Company, the Articles may be amended 
by a special resolution of the Company’s shareholders.

appointMent and replaceMent  
oF directorS
Unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution of 
the Company, the number of Directors (disregarding 
alternate Directors) is not less than two nor more 
than fifteen. No shareholding qualification for 
Directors is required. The Company or the Board may 
appoint any person to be a Director. Any Director so 
appointed by the Board shall hold office only until the 
next general meeting and shall then be eligible for 
election. The Board or any committee authorised by 
the Board may appoint one or more Directors to hold 
employment or executive office with the Company  
for such period (subject to the Companies Acts) and 
on such other terms as the Board or Committee may 
in its discretion decide and may revoke or terminate 
any appointment so made.

The Articles state that each Director must retire from 
office at the third Annual General Meeting after the 
Annual General Meeting at which he was last elected. 
However, it is a requirement of the UK Corporate 
Governance Code that all Directors should be subject 
to annual election by shareholders. In addition to any 
power of removal conferred by the Companies Acts, 
the Company may by special resolution remove any 
Director before the expiration of his period of office. 
The office of a Director must be vacated if: (i) he resigns 
his office by notice in writing delivered to the office or 
tendered at a meeting of the Board; or (ii) by notice in 
writing he offers to resign and the Board resolves to 
accept such offer; or (iii) his resignation is requested by 
all of the other Directors and all of the other Directors 
are not less than three in number; or (iv) a registered 
medical practitioner who is treating that Director gives 
a written opinion to the Company stating that that 
Director has become physically or mentally incapable 
of acting as a Director and may remain so for more than 
three months; or (v) by reason of a Director’s mental 
health, a court makes an order which wholly or partly 
prevents that Director from personally exercising any 
powers or rights which that Director would otherwise 
have; or (vi) he is absent without the permission of the 
Board from meetings of the Board (whether or not an 
alternate Director appointed by him attends) for six 
consecutive months and the Board resolves that his 
office is vacated; or (vii) he becomes bankrupt or 
compounds with his creditors generally; or (viii) he  
is prohibited by law from being a Director; or (ix) he 
ceases to be a Director by virtue of the Companies Acts 
or is removed from office pursuant to the Articles.

poWerS oF the directorS
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts,  
the Company’s Articles and to any directions given by 
the Company in general meeting by special resolution, 
the business of the Company is managed by the Board, 
which may exercise all the powers of the Company 
whether relating to the management of the business  

89

of the Company or not. In particular, the Board may 
exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow 
money and to mortgage or charge all or any part of 
the undertaking, property and assets (present and 
future) and uncalled capital of the Company and to 
issue debentures and other securities, whether outright 
or as collateral security for any debt, liability or 
obligation of the Company or any third party.

poWerS in relation to the  
coMpany iSSuing or Buying  
Back itS oWn ShareS
The Directors were granted authority at the last Annual 
General Meeting held in 2012 to allot relevant securities 
(i) up to a nominal amount of £12,206,454 and (ii) 
comprising equity securities up to a nominal amount of 
£24,412,909 (including within any such limit any shares 
and rights to subscribe for or convert any security into 
shares allotted under (i)), in connection with an offer  
by way of a rights issue. That authority will apply until 
the earlier of 30 June 2013 and the conclusion of the 
Annual General Meeting for 2013. At this year’s Annual 
General Meeting shareholders will be asked to grant  
an authority to allot relevant securities up to a nominal 
amount of £12,271,057, such authority to apply until  
the end of next year’s Annual General Meeting (or,  
if earlier, until the close of business on 30 June 2014).

A special resolution will also be proposed to renew the 
Directors’ power to make non-pre-emptive issues for 
cash in connection with rights issues and otherwise  
up to a nominal amount of £1,840,843.

The Company was also authorised at the Annual 
General Meeting held in 2012 to make market 
purchases of up to 26,713,863 ordinary shares.  
This authorisation will expire on the earlier of  
the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting  
of the Company for 2013 and 30 June 2013. 

A special resolution will also be proposed at this year’s 
Annual General Meeting to renew the Directors’ 
authority to repurchase the Company’s ordinary  
shares in the market. The authority will be limited to  
a maximum of 26,857,931 ordinary shares and sets the 
minimum and maximum prices which may be paid.

The Company may at any time, without obtaining  
the sanction of the holders of the Deferred Shares:  
(a) appoint any person to execute on behalf of any 
holder of Deferred Shares a transfer of all or any of  
the Deferred Shares (and/or an agreement to transfer 
the same) to the Company or to such person as the 
Directors may determine, in any case for not more 
than 1 penny for all the Deferred Shares then being 
purchased from him; and (b) cancel all or any of the 
Deferred Shares so purchased by the Company in 
accordance with the Companies Acts.

SecuritieS carrying Special rightS
No person holds securities in the Company carrying 
special rights with regard to control of the Company.

rightS under the eMployee  
Share ScheMe
Appleby Trust (Jersey) Limited, as Trustee of the 
Aggreko Employees’ Benefit Trust, holds 0.81% of the 
issued share capital of the Company as at 7 March 2013 
on trust for the benefit of the employees and former 
employees of the Group and their dependents. The 
voting rights in relation to these shares are exercised 
by the Trustee and there are no restrictions on the 
exercise of the voting of, or the acceptance of any 
offer relating to, the shares. The Trustee is obliged  
to waive all dividends on the shares unless requested 
to do otherwise by the Company in writing.

going concern
The Directors, having made all the relevant enquiries, 
consider that the Group and the Company have 
adequate resources at their disposal to continue their 
operations for the foreseeable future, and that it is 
therefore appropriate to prepare the accounts on  
a going concern basis.

change oF control
The Company has in place a number of agreements  
with advisers, financial institutions and customers which 
contain certain termination rights which would have 
effect on a change of control. The Directors believe 
these agreements to be commercially sensitive and that 
their disclosure would be seriously prejudicial to the 
Company; accordingly they do not intend disclosing 
specific details of these. In addition, all of the Company’s 
share schemes contain provisions which in the event of 
a change of control, would result in outstanding options 
and awards becoming exercisable, subject to the rules  
of the relevant schemes. 

There are no agreements between the Company and 
its Directors or employees providing for compensation 
for loss of office or employment that occurs because  
of a takeover bid. 

diScloSure oF inForMation  
to the coMpany’S auditor
In accordance with section 418 of the Companies  
Act 2006 the Directors who held office at the date  
of approval of this Directors’ Report confirm that,  
so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant 
audit information (as defined by section 418(3) of  
the Companies Act 2006) of which the Company’s 
Auditor is unaware; and each Director has taken all 
the steps that he ought to have taken as a Director to 
make himself aware of any relevant audit information 
and to establish that the Company’s Auditor is aware 
of that information.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012Directors’ ReportStateMent oF directorS’ reSponSiBilitieS

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual 
Report, the Directors’ Remuneration Report and the 
Group and the Parent Company financial statements 
in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare 
financial statements for each financial year. Under  
that law the Directors have prepared the Group 
financial statements in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted  
by the European Union, and the Parent Company 
financial statements in accordance with United 
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice 
(United Kingdom Accounting Standards and 
applicable law). Under Company law the Directors 
must not approve the financial statements unless  
they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view  
of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group 
and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.

In preparing those financial statements, the Directors 
are required to:

and prudent;

them consistently;

 – select suitable accounting policies and then apply 
 – make judgements and estimates that are reasonable 
 – state whether IFRSs as adopted by the European 

Union and applicable UK Accounting Standards 
have been followed, subject to any material departures 
disclosed and explained in the Group and Parent 
Company financial statements respectively; and

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate 
accounting records that are sufficient to show and 
explain the Company’s and Group’s transactions  
and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the 
financial position of the Company and the Group and 
to enable them to ensure that the financial statements 
and the Directors’ Remuneration Report comply with 
the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the Group 
financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. 
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets  
of the Company and the Group and hence for taking 
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection  
of fraud and other irregularities.

Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are 
listed on pages 54 and 55 confirms that, to the best  
of their knowledge:

 – the Group financial statements, which have been 

prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the 
EU, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, 
financial position and profit of the Group; and

 – the Directors’ Report includes a fair review of the 

development and performance of the business and the 
position of the Group, together with a description of 
the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance  
and integrity of the Group website www.aggreko.com. 
Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and 
dissemination of financial statements may differ from 
legislation in other jurisdictions.

 – prepare the Group and Parent Company financial 

statements on the going concern basis unless it  
is inappropriate to presume that the Group will 
continue in business.

We have audited the Group financial statements of Aggreko plc for the year ended 31 December 2012 which 
comprise the Group Income Statement, the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group Balance 
Sheet, the Group Cash Flow Statement, the Group Statement of Changes in Equity, Reconciliation of net cash 
flow to movement in net debt and the related notes to the Group financial statements. The financial reporting 
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. 

reSpective reSponSiBilitieS oF directorS and auditorS 
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities (set out on page 92), the Directors are 
responsible for the preparation of the Group financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and

with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to 
comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. 

This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the Company’s members as a body  
in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in 
giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this 
report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Scope oF the audit oF the Financial StateMentS 
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient  
to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused 
by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group’s 
circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant 
accounting estimates made by the Directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, 
we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Report and Accounts to identify material 
inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements 
or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

opinion on Financial StateMentS

flows for the year then ended;

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012noteS to the group accountS
For the year ended 31 December 2012

1  accounting policieS
The Company is a public limited company which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is incorporated  
and domiciled in the UK. The address of the registered office is 120 Bothwell Street, Glasgow G2 7JS, UK.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are  
set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

BaSiS oF preparation
The Group financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, IFRIC interpretations and the Companies Act 2006 
applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical 
cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities (including 
derivative instruments) at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts 
of the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s 
best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

changeS in accounting policy and diScloSureS
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning 
on or after 1 January 2012 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group. 

(b) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the financial year beginning 
1 January 2012 and not early adopted

cost and expected return on plan assets with a net interest amount that is calculated by applying the discount 
rate to the net defined benefit liability. We do not expect this to have a material impact on the Group. 

 – IAS 19, ‘Employee benefits’ was amended in June 2011. The impact on the Group will be to replace interest 
 – Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards 2011 were issued in May 2012. This is a 

collection of amendments to five standards. We do not expect these to have a material impact on the Group.

There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have  
a material impact on the Group.

BaSiS oF conSolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Aggreko plc and all its subsidiaries for 
the year ended 31 December 2012. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Group has the power to govern 
financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding that confers more than half of the voting 
rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are 
considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from  
the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration 
transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred  
and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset  
or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as 
incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are 
measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group 
recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s 
proportion of the share of the acquiree’s net assets.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed  
where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

revenue recognition
Revenue for the Group represents the amounts earned from the supply of temporary power, temperature control, 
oil-free compressed air and related services and excludes sales taxes and intra-Group revenue. Revenue can 
comprise a fixed rental charge and a variable charge related to the usage of assets or other services. In all cases, 
revenue is recognised in accordance with the contractual arrangements, for fixed rental charges, over the rental 
period and for variable elements as the asset is utilised or service is provided. Revenue is accrued or deferred  
at the balance sheet date depending on the date of the most recent invoice issued and the contractual terms.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012AccountsnoteS to the group accountS CONTINUED
For the year ended 31 December 2012

1  accounting policieS CONTINUED
SegMental reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief 
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the plc Board of Directors.

Aggreko’s segments comprise Middle East & Developing Europe, Europe, North America and International  
Local (together the Group’s Local business) and Power Projects. Power Projects is managed as a single business, 
with the deployment of assets varying from year to year depending on the location of projects. 

The risks and rewards within Power Projects are significantly different from those within the Group’s Local 
business. The Local business focuses on smaller, more frequently occurring events, whereas the Power Projects 
business concentrates on large contracts, which can arise anywhere in the world.

This is reflected by the Group’s divisional management and organisational structure and the Group’s internal 
financial reporting systems. The segmental analysis is in Note 4 to the Accounts.

Central administrative costs are allocated between segments based on revenue.

leaSeS
Leases where substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group are classified 
as operating leases. Rentals under operating leases are charged against operating profit on a straight line basis 
over the term of the lease.

exceptional iteMS
Items are classified as exceptional gains or losses where they are considered by the Group to be material and are 
different from events or transactions which fall within the ordinary activities of the Group and which individually,  
or if of a similar type, in aggregate, need to be disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence if the financial statements 
are to be properly understood. Details of the exceptional items are provided in Note 7 to the financial statements.

property, plant and equipMent
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost 
includes purchase price, and directly attributable costs of bringing the asset into the location and condition where 
it is capable for use. Borrowing costs are not capitalised since the assets are assembled over a short period of time.

Freehold properties are depreciated on a straight line basis over 25 years. Short leasehold properties are depreciated 
on a straight line basis over the terms of each lease.

Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis at annual rates estimated to write off 
the cost of each asset over its useful life from the date it is available for use. Assets in the course of construction  
are not depreciated. Non rental fleet assets which are contract specific are depreciated over the life of the contract. 
The periods of depreciation are reviewed on an annual basis and the principal periods used are as follows:

Rental fleet 
Vehicles, plant and equipment 

8 to 10 years 
4 to 15 years

intangiBleS
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalised, separately from goodwill, at fair value 
at the date of acquisition if the asset is separable or arises from contractual or legal rights and its fair value can be 
measured reliably. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line method to allocate the fair value at acquisition of 
each asset over their estimated useful lives as follows: customer relationships: 10 years; non-compete agreements: 
over the life of the non-compete agreements.

Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to  
use the specific software. These costs are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, 
which is currently deemed to be 4 years.

The useful life of intangible assets is reviewed on an annual basis. 

goodWill
On the acquisition of a business, fair values are attributed to the net assets acquired. Goodwill arises where  
the fair value of the consideration given for a business exceeds the fair value of such assets. Goodwill arising  
on acquisitions is capitalised and is subject to impairment reviews, both annually and when there are indicators 
that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

102

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012 
 
1  accounting policieS CONTINUED
For the purpose of the impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units 
expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash generating units to which goodwill has been 
allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may 
be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, 
then the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit 
and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.  
An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. Any impairment of goodwill  
is recognised immediately in the income statement.

iMpairMent oF property, plant and equipMent and other intangiBle aSSetS  
(excluding goodWill)
Property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets are amortised/depreciated and reviewed for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its 
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in 
use. Value in use is calculated using estimated cashflows. These are discounted using an appropriate long-term 
pre-tax interest rate. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which 
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

Foreign currencieS
Items included in the financial statements for each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the 
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The Group’s consolidated 
financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Group’s presentational currency.

At individual Company level, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of 
exchange on the day the transaction occurs. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated  
at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets are translated at the historical rate. 
In order to hedge its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks, the Group enters into forward contracts and 
foreign currency options. 

On consolidation, assets and liabilities of subsidiary undertakings are translated into Sterling at closing rates  
of exchange. Income and cash flow statements are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. Gains 
and losses from the settlement of transactions and gains and losses on the translation of monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in other currencies are included in the income statement.

derivative Financial inStruMentS
The activities of the Group expose it directly to the financial risks of changes in forward foreign currency exchange 
rates and interest rates. The Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency options and interest 
rate swap contracts to hedge these exposures. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for 
speculative purposes.

Derivatives are initially recorded and subsequently measured at fair value, which is calculated using standard 
industry valuation techniques in conjunction with observable market data. The fair value of interest rate swaps  
is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using market interest rates and the fair value of 
forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward foreign exchange market rates at the reporting 
date. The treatment of changes in fair value of derivatives depends on the derivative classification. The Group 
designates derivatives as hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions or commitments (‘cash flow hedge’). 

In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group is required to document in advance the relationship between 
the item being hedged and the hedging instrument. The Group is also required to document and demonstrate  
an assessment of the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, which shows that the 
hedge will be highly effective on an ongoing basis. This effectiveness testing is re-performed at each period end 
to ensure that the hedge remains highly effective.

caSh FloW hedge 
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated, and effective, as hedges of future cash 
flows are recognised directly in equity and any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement. 
If the cash flow hedge is of a firm commitment or forecasted transaction that subsequently results in the recognition 
of an asset or a liability, then, at the time the asset or liability is recognised, the associated gains or losses on the 
derivative that had previously been recognised in equity are included in the initial measurement of the asset or 
liability. For hedges of transactions that do not result in the recognition of an asset or a liability, amounts deferred in 
equity are recognised in the income statement in the same period in which the hedged item affects net profit and loss.

For the year ended 31 December 2012

1  accounting policieS CONTINUED
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised 
in the income statement as they arise.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that 
time any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained in equity until the 
forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain  
or loss recognised in equity is transferred to the income statement.

overSeaS net inveStMent hedgeS
Certain foreign currency borrowings are designated as hedges of the Group’s overseas net investments, which are 
denominated in the functional currency of the reporting operation. 

Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings 
are taken to equity on consolidation to the extent the hedges are deemed effective. All other exchange gains  
and losses are dealt with through the income statement.

taxation
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax base  
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities 
are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it  
is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 
Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill, negative goodwill 
nor from the acquisition of an asset, which does not affect either taxable or accounting income. Deferred tax is 
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date 
and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. 
Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged 
directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing 
of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary 
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Provision for income taxes, mainly withholding taxes, which could arise on the remittance of retained earnings, 
principally relating to subsidiaries, is only made where there is a current intention to remit such earnings. 

Current tax
The charge for the current tax is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable 
or disallowed. It is calculated using taxation rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance 
sheet date.

inventorieS
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, using the FIFO or weighted average cost 
basis. Cost of raw materials, consumables and work in progress includes the cost of direct materials and, where 
applicable, direct labour and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their 
present location and condition.

Inventory is written down on a case by case basis if the anticipated net realisable value declines below the carrying 
amount of the inventories. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less cost to completion and selling 
expenses. When the reasons for a write-down of the inventory have ceased to exist, the write-down is reversed.

eMployee BeneFitS
Wages, salaries, social security contributions, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary 
benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the employees of the Group. 
Where the Group provides long-term employee benefits, the cost is accrued to match the rendering of the 
services by the employees concerned.

The Group operates a defined benefit pension scheme and a number of defined contribution pension schemes.  
The cost for the year for the defined benefit scheme is determined using the attained age method with actuarial 
updates to the valuation being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised  
in full, directly in retained earnings, in the period in which they occur and are shown in the statement of 
comprehensive income and expense. The current service cost of the pension charge as well as the expected return 
on pension scheme assets and interest on pension scheme liabilities are included in arriving at operating profit. 

104

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 20121  accounting policieS CONTINUED
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet is the present value of the defined benefit 
obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of the scheme assets. The present value of the defined 
benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using interest rates of high-quality 
corporate bonds.

Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the income statement in the period in which 
they become chargeable.

trade receivaBleS
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. An impairment 
is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount where there is objective 
evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. Significant financial difficulties of the 
debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or large and  
old outstanding balances, particularly in countries where the legal system is not easily used to enforce recovery, 
are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. When a trade receivable is uncollectible it is 
written off against the provision for impairment of trade receivables.

trade payaBleS
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

proviSionS
Provisions are recognised where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred which will probably lead  
to an outflow of resources that can be reasonably estimated. Provisions are recorded for the estimated ultimate 
liability that is expected to arise, taking into account the time value of money where material.

A contingent liability is disclosed where the existence of the obligation will only be confirmed by future events, 
or where the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with reasonable reliability. Contingent assets are not 
recognised, but are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Share-BaSed payMentS
IFRS 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ has been applied to all grants of equity instruments. The Group issues equity-
settled share-based payments to certain employees under the terms of the Group’s various employee-share and 
option schemes. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of the grant. The fair 
value determined at the grant date of equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight line basis 
over the vesting period, based on an estimate of the shares that will ultimately vest. Fair value is measured using  
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Own shares held under trust for the Group’s employee share schemes are classed as Treasury shares and deducted 
in arriving at shareholders’ equity. No gain or loss is recognised on disposal of Treasury shares. Purchases of own 
shares are disclosed as changes in shareholders’ equity. 

caSh and caSh equivalentS
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits with a maturity of three months or less.  
This definition is also used for the cashflow statement.

BorroWingS
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently 
stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the redemption 
value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate.

dividend diStriBution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s financial statements 
in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Interim dividends are 
recognised when paid.

key aSSuMptionS and SigniFicant judgeMentS
The Group uses estimates and makes judgements in the preparation of its Accounts. The most sensitive areas 
affecting the Accounts are discussed below.

105

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012AccountsnoteS to the group accountS CONTINUED
For the year ended 31 December 2012

1  accounting policieS CONTINUED
Property, plant and equipment
Rental fleet accounts for £1,196 million, or around 94%, of the net book value of property, plant and equipment 
used in our business; the great majority of equipment in the rental fleet is depreciated on a straight-line basis to  
a residual value of zero over 8 years, although we do have some classes of non-power fleet which we depreciate 
over 10 years. The annual fleet depreciation charge of £222 million (2011: £175 million) relates to the estimated 
service lives allocated to each class of fleet asset. Asset lives are reviewed regularly and changed if necessary  
to reflect current thinking on their remaining lives in light of technological change, prospective economic 
utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. 

Intangible assets
In accordance with IFRS 3 (revised) ‘Business Combinations’ goodwill arising on acquisition of assets and 
subsidiaries is capitalised and included in intangible assets. IFRS 3 (revised) also requires the identification  
of other acquired intangible assets. The techniques used to value these intangible assets are in line with 
internationally used models but do require the use of estimates and forecasts which may differ from actual 
outcomes. Future results are impacted by the amortisation period adopted for these items and, potentially,  
by any differences between forecast and actual outcomes related to individual intangible assets. The amortisation 
charge for intangible assets in 2012 was £5 million (2011: £4 million). Substantially all of this charge relates  
to the amortisation of intangible assets arising from business combinations.

Goodwill of £143 million (2011: £65 million) is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment and carried  
at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The impairment review calculations require the use of forecasts 
related to the future profitability and cash generating ability of the acquired assets. There were no impairment 
charges in 2012 and 2011.

Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. An impairment 
is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount where there is objective 
evidence that the Group may not be able to collect all amounts due. Significant financial difficulties of the 
debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default, or large and  
old outstanding balances, particularly in countries where the legal system is not easily used to enforce recovery, 
are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. 

The majority of the contracts the Group enters into are small relative to the size of the Group and, if a customer 
fails to pay a debt, this is dealt with in the normal course of business. However, some of the contracts the Group 
undertakes in developing countries are very large, and are in jurisdictions where payment practices can be 
unpredictable. The Group monitors the risk profile and debtor position of all such contracts regularly, and 
deploys a variety of techniques to mitigate the risks of delayed or non-payment; these include securing advance 
payments and guarantees. As a result of the rigorous approach to risk management, historically the Group has 
had a low level of bad debt write-offs. When a trade receivable is uncollectible it is written off against the 
provision for impairment of trade receivables. At 31 December 2012 the provision for impairment of trade 
receivables in the balance sheet was £63 million (2011: £36 million).

Taxation
Aggreko’s tax charge is based on the profit for the year and tax rates in force at the balance sheet date. As well  
as corporation tax, Aggreko is subject to indirect taxes such as sales and employment taxes across various tax 
jurisdictions in the approximately 100 countries in which the Group operates. The varying nature and complexity 
of the tax law requires the Group to review its tax positions and make appropriate judgements at the balance 
sheet date. In addition the recognition of deferred tax assets is dependent upon an estimation of future taxable 
profits that will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. In the event that 
actual taxable profits are different, such differences may impact the carrying value of such deferred tax assets  
in future periods. Further information is shown at Notes 10 and 22 to the Annual Report and Accounts.

Financial riSk ManageMent
Financial risk factors
The Group’s operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include liquidity, the effects of changes in 
foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and credit risk. The Group has a centralised treasury operation whose 
primary role is to ensure that adequate liquidity is available to meet the Group’s funding requirements as they arise, 
and that financial risk arising from the Group’s underlying operations is effectively identified and managed. 

106

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 20121  accounting policieS CONTINUED
The treasury operations are conducted in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Board and 
are reviewed annually. Financial instruments are only executed for hedging purposes and transactions that are 
speculative in nature are expressly forbidden. Monthly reports are provided to senior management and treasury 
operations are subject to periodic internal and external review.

Liquidity, funding and capital management
The intention of Aggreko’s strategy is to deliver long-term value to its shareholders whilst maintaining a balance 
sheet structure that safeguards the Group’s financial position through economic cycles. Total capital is equity as 
shown in the Group balance sheet.

Given the proven ability of the business to fund organic growth from operating cashflows, and the nature of  
our business model, we believe it is sensible to run the business with a modest amount of debt. We say ‘modest’ 
because we are strongly of the view that it is unwise to run a business which has high levels of operational 
gearing with high levels of financial gearing. Given the above considerations, we believe that a Net Debt to 
EBITDA ratio of around 1 times is appropriate for the Group over the longer term. Absent a major acquisition,  
or the requirement for an unusual level of fleet investment, this level gives us the ability to deal with the normal 
fluctuations in capital expenditure (which can be quite sharp: +/– £100 million in a year) and working capital, 
and is well within our covenants to lenders which stand at 3 times Net Debt to EBITDA.

At the end of 2012, Net Debt to EBITDA (pre-exceptional items) had increased to 0.9 times from 31 December 
2011 when the ratio of Net Debt to EBITDA was 0.7 times.

The Group maintains sufficient facilities to meet its normal funding requirements over the medium term.  
At 31 December 2012 these facilities totalled £863 million in the form of committed bank facilities arranged on 
a bilateral basis with a number of international banks and private placement notes. US$100 million (£62 million) 
of private placement notes were issued during June 2012. In addition during the year committed bank facilities 
of £154 million were arranged. The financial covenants attached to these facilities are that EBITDA should  
be no less than 4 times interest and net debt should be no more than 3 times EBITDA; at 31 December 2012,  
pre-exceptional items, these stood at 25 times and 0.9 times respectively. The Group does not consider that 
these covenants are restrictive to its operations. The maturity profile of the borrowings is detailed in Note 18  
in the Annual Report and Accounts. Since the year end £30 million of committed facilities have matured.

Net debt amounted to £593 million at 31 December 2012 and, at that date, un-drawn committed facilities  
were £294 million.

Interest rate risk 
The Group’s policy is to manage the exposure to interest rates by ensuring an appropriate balance of fixed  
and floating rates. The Group’s primary funding is at floating rates through its bank facilities. In order to manage 
the associated interest rate risk, the Group uses interest rate swaps to vary the mix of fixed and floating rates.  
At 31 December 2012, £311 million of the net debt of £593 million was at fixed rates of interest resulting in  
a fixed to floating rate net debt ratio of 52:48 (2011: 71:29). The Group monitors its interest rate exposure on  
a regular basis by applying forecast interest rates to the Group’s forecast net debt profile after taking into account 
its existing hedges. The Group also calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift for all 
currencies. Based on the simulations performed, the impact on profit or loss of a +/– 100 basis-point shift, after 
taking into account existing hedges, would be £2.9 million (2011: £1.2 million). The sensitivity analysis is 
performed on a monthly basis and is reported to the Board.

Foreign exchange risk 
The Group is subject to currency exposure on the translation of its net investments in overseas subsidiaries into 
Sterling. In order to reduce the currency risk arising, the Group uses direct borrowings in the same currency as 
those investments. Group borrowings are predominantly drawn down in the principal currencies affecting the 
Group, namely US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro and Brazilian Reais.

The Group manages its currency flows to minimise foreign exchange risk arising on transactions denominated  
in foreign currencies and uses forward contracts where appropriate in order to hedge net currency flows.

The negative impact of currency decreased our revenues by £6.0 million (2011: decreased by £26.0 million) and 
trading profit by £1.0 million (2011: decreased by £8.7 million) for the year ended 31 December 2012. The Group 
monitors the impact of exchange closely and regularly carries out sensitivity analysis. For every 5 cents movement 
in the US Dollar to GBP exchange rate there is an approximate impact of £8.8 million (2011: £9.2 million)  
in trading profit1 in terms of translation. For every 5 cents movement in the Euro to GBP exchange rate  
there is an approximate impact of £0.4 million (2011: £0.5 million) in trading profit in terms of translation. 

107

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012AccountsnoteS to the group accountS CONTINUED
For the year ended 31 December 2012

1  accounting policieS CONTINUED
Currency translation also gave rise to a £58 million decrease in reserves as a result of year on year movements in the 
exchange rates (2011: decrease of £11.9 million). For every 5 cents movement in the Dollar and Euro, there is an 
approximate impact in equity of £15.8 million and £0.7 million respectively (2011: £10.4 million and £0.5 million), 
arising from the currency translation of external borrowings which are being used as a net investment hedge, 
however this will be offset by a corresponding movement in the equity of the net investment being hedged.

Credit risk
Cash deposits and other financial instruments give rise to credit risk on amounts due from counterparties.  
The Group manages this risk by limiting the aggregate amounts and their duration depending on external credit 
ratings of the relevant counterparty. In the case of financial assets exposed to credit risk, the carrying amount  
in the balance sheet, net of any applicable provisions for loss, represents the amount exposed to credit risk.

Management of trade receivables
The management of trade receivables is the responsibility of the operating units, although they report monthly to 
Group on debtor days, debtor ageing and significant outstanding debts. At an operating unit level a credit rating is 
normally established for each customer based on ratings from external agencies. Where no ratings are available, cash 
in advance payment terms are often established for new customers. Credit limits are reviewed on a regular basis. Some 
of the contracts undertaken in our Power Projects business are substantial, and are in jurisdictions where payment 
practices can be unpredictable. The Group monitors the risk profile and debtor-position of all such contracts regularly, 
and deploys a variety of techniques to mitigate the risks of delayed or non-payment; these include securing advance 
payments, bank guarantees and various types of insurance. On the largest contracts, all such arrangements are 
approved at Group level. Contracts are reviewed on a case by case basis to determine the customer and country risk. 

Insurance
The Group operates a policy of buying cover against the material risks which the business faces, where it is 
possible to purchase such cover on reasonable terms. Where this is not possible, or where the risks would not 
have a material impact on the Group as a whole, we self-insure.

7 exceptional iteMS
(i) 2012
The definition of exceptional items is contained within Note 1 of the 2012 Annual Report and Accounts. A net 
exceptional credit of £6.5 million before tax was recorded in the year to 31 December 2012 in respect of the Group’s 
acquisition of Poit Energia and costs associated with the recent Group reorganisation. There are three elements to 
the net exceptional credit. The first element is an exceptional credit arising from the release of £17.3 million of 
the £20.4 million deferred consideration relating to the Poit Energia acquisition earn out period. We completed 
the acquisition and the legal merger of the two businesses earlier than we anticipated, and accordingly we agreed 
with the vendors that we would terminate the earn out period early in return for a payment of £3.1 million of 
the possible £20.4 million. Secondly, and partially offsetting this credit, there are £4.4 million of integration costs 
for the Poit acquisition. Thirdly there are £6.4 million of costs relating to the Group reorganisation. These costs 
include professional fees, severance costs, relocation costs and travel/expenses directly related to the reorganisation. 

Geographically these exceptional items can be split into: Middle East & Developing Europe: costs of £0.3 million, 
Europe: costs of £3.0 million, North America: costs of £0.6 million, International Local: a credit of £12.5 million 
and Power Projects: costs of £2.1 million.

(ii) 2011
The UK Finance Act 2011 introduced legislation exempting the profits of foreign branches of UK resident 
companies from UK Corporation tax; this is applicable to a significant portion of our Power Projects business. 
The impact of this exemption was that in 2011 there was a release to the income statement of a previously 
created deferred tax liability of £28.6 million which will no longer crystalise. Given its size and nature, this 
release was treated as an exceptional item.

In addition, the Directors are proposing a final dividend in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2012 
of 15.63 pence per share which will absorb an estimated £41.6 million of shareholders’ funds. It will be paid on 
23 May 2013 to shareholders who are on the register of members on 26 April 2013.

12 earningS per Share
Basic earnings per share have been calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders  
by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year, excluding shares held by the Employee Share 
Ownership Trusts which are treated as cancelled.

For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume 
conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. These represent share options granted to employees  
where the exercise price is less than the average market price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the year. 
The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued 
assuming the exercise of the share options.

Aggreko plc assesses the performance of the Group by adjusting earnings per share, calculated in accordance 
with IAS 33, to exclude items it considers to be non-recurring and believes that the exclusion of such items 
provides a better comparison of business performance. The calculation of earnings per ordinary share on a basis 
which excludes exceptional items is based on the following adjusted earnings:

 Goodwill on acquisitions comprises goodwill on Poit Energia acquisition (£88.0 million) and goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. 
Goodwill is monitored by management at an operating segment level. The recoverable amounts of the CGUs  
are determined from value in use calculations. The key assumptions for value in use calculations are those 
relating to expected changes in revenue and the cost base, discount rates and long-term growth rates. The 
discount rate used for business valuations was 8.9% after tax (2011: 8.3%), based on the weighted average  
cost of capital (WACC) of the Group. Before tax the estimated discount rate was 12.2% (2011: 11.3%). The 
WACC was calculated using the market capitalisation basis as at 31 December 2012 (i.e. equity valued basis).

For the year ended 31 December 2012

13 goodWill CONTINUED
The prior year WACC, which was previously calculated using shareholders’ funds, have been restated using the market 
capitalisation basis to be consistent with best practice. On the basis that the business carried out by all CGUs is closely 
related and assets can be redeployed around the Group as required, a consistent Group discount rate has been used 
for all CGUs. Values in use were determined using current year cashflows, a prudent view of future market trends and 
excludes any growth capital expenditure. A terminal cash flow was calculated using a long-term growth rate of 2.0%.

As at 31 December 2012, based on internal valuations, Aggreko plc management concluded that the values  
in use of the CGUs significantly exceeded their net asset value.

The Directors consider that there is no reasonably possible change in the key assumptions made in their impairment 
calculations that would give rise to an impairment.

Trade receivables are classified as impaired if they are not considered recoverable. 42% of the amounts past due  
are less than 30 days past due (2011: 38%).

The Group assesses credit quality differently in relation to its two business models as explained below:

Local business
Our Local business serves customers in Middle East & Developing Europe, Europe, North America, Asia, 
Australasia, Latin America and Africa. It is a high transaction intensive business focused on frequently occurring 
events and the majority of the contracts in this business are small relative to the size of the Group. There is no 
concentration of credit risk in this business other than in the case of a major event, for example, the London 
Olympics, which was included in the Europe Local business segment. Apart from these type of major events 
there are a large number of customers who are unrelated and internationally dispersed.

The management of trade receivables is the responsibility of the operating units, although they report monthly 
to Group on debtor days, debtor ageing and significant outstanding debts. At an operating unit level a credit 
rating is normally established for each customer based on ratings from external agencies. Where no ratings are 
available, cash in advance payment terms are often established for new customers. Credit limits are reviewed  
on a regular basis. The effectiveness of this credit process has meant that the Group has historically had a low 
level of bad debt in the Local business. Receivables written off during the year as uncollectable as a percentage  
of total gross debtors was 2% (2011: 2%).

118

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 201217 trade and other receivaBleS CONTINUED
Power Projects
Our Power Projects business concentrates on medium to very large contracts. Most projects in this business are 
worth over £1 million and some can be worth over £10 million. Customers are mainly in developing countries 
and include power utilities, governments, armed forces, oil companies and mining companies.

In addition the majority of the contracts above are in jurisdictions where payment practices can be unpredictable. 
The Group monitors the risk profile and debtor position of all such contracts regularly, and deploys a variety of 
techniques to mitigate the risks of delayed or non-payment; these include securing advance payments, bonds and 
guarantees. On the largest contracts, all such arrangements are approved at a Group level. Contracts are reviewed 
on a case by case basis to determine the customer and country risk. To date the Group has also had a low level  
of bad debt in the Power Projects business although the risk of a major default is high.

The total trade receivables balance as at 31 December 2012 for our Power Projects business was £202.4 million 
(2011: £167.2 million). Within this balance, receivable balances totalling £117.3 million (2011: £98.4 million) had 
some form of payment cover attached to them. This payment cover guards against the risk of customer default 
rather than the risk associated with customer disputes. The risk associated with the remaining £85.1 million (2011: 
£68.8 million) is deemed to be either acceptable or payment cover is not obtainable in a cost effective manner.

The floating rate financial liabilities principally comprise debt which carries interest based on different benchmark rates 
depending on the currency of the balance and are normally fixed in advance for periods between one and three months.

The weighted average interest rate on fixed debt is derived from the fixed leg of each interest rate swap and 
coupons applying to fixed rate private placement notes.

The effect of the Group’s interest rate swaps is to classify £78.4 million (2011: £81.7 million) of borrowings  
in the above table as fixed rate. The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts  
at 31 December 2012 was £78.4 million (2011: £81.7 million).

As stated in our accounting policies Note 1 on page 103 the activities of the Group expose it directly to the 
financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Group uses forward foreign 
exchange contracts and interest rate swap contracts to hedge these exposures. The movement in the hedging 
reserve is shown in the Statement of Changes in Equity.

(i) Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
The following table provides a comparison by category of the carrying amounts and the fair values of the Group’s 
financial assets and financial liabilities at 31 December 2012. Fair value is the amount at which a financial 
instrument could be exchanged in an arm’s length transaction between informed and willing parties, other than  
a forced or liquidation sale and excludes accrued interest. Market values have been used to determine fair values.

(ii) Summary of methods and assumptions
Interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivatives
Fair value is based on market price of these instruments at the balance sheet date. In accordance with IFRS 7, 
interest rate swaps are considered to be level 2 with fair value being calculated at the present value of estimated 
future cash flows using market interest rates. Forward foreign currency contracts and currency options are 
considered to be level 1 as the valuation is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.

Current borrowings and overdrafts/Short-term deposits
The fair value of short-term deposits and current borrowings and overdrafts approximates to the carrying amount 
because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Non-current borrowings
In the case of non-current borrowings, the fair value approximates to the carrying value reported in the balance sheet.

(iii) Derivative financial instruments
Numerical financial instruments disclosures are set out below. Additional disclosures are set out in the financial 
review and accounting policies relating to risk management.

Current:
Interest rate swaps – cash flow hedge
Forward foreign currency contracts – cash flow hedge
Currency options – cash flow hedge

The net fair value losses at 31 December 2012 on open forward exchange contracts that hedge the foreign 
currency risk of future anticipated revenues are £0.5 million and that hedge the foreign currency risk of future 
anticipated expenditure are £0.3 million. These will be allocated to revenues and costs when the forecast revenues 
and costs occur (2011 anticipated future expenditure: £0.2 million). The net fair value liabilities at 31 December 
2012 on open interest swaps that hedge interest risk are £12.9 million (2011: liabilities of £13.5 million). These 
will be debited to the income statement finance cost over the remaining life of each interest rate swap. Currency 
options are financial assets which are considered to have two components (intrinsic element and time element). 
The intrinsic element hedges the foreign currency risk of future anticipated revenues and this will be allocated to 
revenues when the forecast revenues occur. The time element is expensed to the income statement in line with 
the life of the options.

Hedge of net investment in foreign entity
The Group has designated as a hedge of the net investment in its overseas subsidiaries its US Dollar, Euro, 
Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, South African Rand, Russian Ruble, Mexican Peso and New Zealand  
Dollar denominated borrowings. The fair value of these borrowings were as follows:

The proposed reductions in the main rate of UK corporation tax by 1 per cent per year to 21 per cent by 1 April 
2014 are expected to be enacted separately each year. The overall effect of the changes from 23 per cent to  
21 per cent, if these applied to the deferred tax balance at 31 December 2012 would be to reduce the deferred 
tax asset by approximately £0.7 million (being £0.7 million recognised in 2013).

No deferred tax liability has been recognised in respect of unremitted earnings of subsidiaries. It is likely that  
the majority of the overseas earnings will qualify for the UK dividend exemption and the Group can control the 
distribution of dividends by its subsidiaries. In some countries, local tax is payable on the remittance of a dividend. 
Were dividends to be remitted from these countries, the additional tax payable would be £18.1 million.

The movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities (prior to off setting of balances within the same jurisdiction  
as permitted by IAS 12) during the period are shown below. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are only offset  
where there is a legally enforceable right of offset and there is an intention to settle the balances net.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that the realisation of the related deferred tax benefit through future 
taxable profits is probable. The Group did not recognise deferred tax assets of £1.0 million (2011: £2.6 million) 
of which £1.0 million (2011: £2.6 million) relates to carried forward tax losses as our forecasts indicate that these 
assets will not reverse in the near future.

Deferred tax assets of £8.0 million (2011: £2.9 million) have been recognised in respect of entities which have 
suffered a loss in either the current or preceding period.

* Based on 275,260,704 ordinary shares of 20 pence each on the record date of 8 July 2011.

Following the return of capital using a B share structure in July 2011, the Group made a further purchase of B shares 
on 3 May 2012 and completed a conversion of B shares into ordinary shares and deferred shares on 31 May 2012. 

The main terms of the further purchase and subsequent conversion of the B shares were:

(i) 

 on 14 March 2012 an offer was made to the holders of the 6,663,731 B shares to purchase the B shares  
for 55 pence each. This resulted in the purchase and subsequent cancellation of 2,947,585 B shares on  
3 May 2012 resulting in a cash payment from the Company of £1.6 million. As a result of this transaction 
£198k was transferred from B shares to the capital redemption reserve being 2,947,585 shares at par value 
618/25 pence. This left a total of 3,716,146 B shares in issue.

(ii)   on 31 May 2012 the Group converted all outstanding B shares into 94,280 ordinary shares and 18,352,057,648 
deferred shares of 1/775 pence each. The ratio used for the conversion of B shares to ordinary shares was  
1 ordinary share for every 39.4 B shares. This ratio was calculated on the basis of 1 ordinary share for every 
(M/55) B share (where M represents the average of the closing mid-market quotations in pence of the 
ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange, as derived from the Official List for the five business days 
immediately preceding the Conversion Date). Fractional entitlements were disregarded and the balance  
of the aggregate nominal value of such shares were constituted by reclassifying B shares as deferred shares  
of 1/775 pence each, which have the same rights and restrictions as the deferred shares of 618/25 pence.

(iii)  The B share Continuing Dividend accrued in respect of the period between 11 July 2011 and 31 May 2012 

was paid to holders of B shares on 31 May 2012.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 201223 Share capital CONTINUED
During the year 524,335 ordinary shares of 13549/775 pence each have been issued at prices ranging from £2.82  
to £17.30 (US $23.69) to satisfy the exercise of options under the Savings-Related Share Option Schemes 
(‘Sharesave’) by eligible employees. In addition 1,028,222 shares were allotted to US participants in the  
Long-term Incentive Plan by the allotment of new shares at 13549/775 pence per share.

Share optionS
The options under the Savings-Related Share Option Schemes have been granted at a discount of 20% on  
the share price calculated over the three days prior to the date of invitation to participate, mature after three  
to five years and are normally exercisable in the six months following the maturity date. The options under  
the US Stock Purchase Plan have been granted at a discount of 15% to the share price on the date of grant, 
mature after two years and are normally exercisable in the three months following the maturity date.

There is no legal obligation upon the Company to satisfy the options existing under the Savings-Related Share 
Option Schemes other than by the allotment of new issue shares.

It is intended to satisfy awards to US participants in the Long-term Incentive Plan by the allotment of new 
shares. The maximum award would be made on achieving the performance targets set out on pages 81 to 83  
of the Remuneration Report.

For the Sharesave and US Stock Options the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used. The fair value  
per option granted and the assumptions used in the calculation are as follows:

to grant equal in length to the expected life of the awards. The expected life is the average expected period to 
exercise. The risk free interest rate is the expected return on UK Gilts of a similar life.

Overseas
Pension arrangements for overseas employees vary, and schemes reflect best practice and regulation in each 
particular country. The charge against profit is the amount of contributions payable to the defined contribution 
pension schemes in respect of the accounting period. The pension cost attributable to overseas employees for 
2012 was £6.5 million (2011: £4.8 million).

United Kingdom
The Group operates pension schemes for UK employees. The Aggreko plc Pension Scheme (‘the Scheme’)  
is a funded, contributory, defined benefit scheme. Assets are held separately from those of the Group under  
the control of the Directors of Aggreko Pension Scheme Trustee Limited. The Scheme is subject to valuations  
at intervals of not more than three years by independent actuaries.

A valuation of the Scheme was carried out as at 31 December 2011 using the Attained Age method to determine 
the level of contributions to be made by the Group. The actuaries adopted a valuation basis linked to market 
conditions at the valuation date. Assets were taken at market value. The major actuarial assumptions used were:

Return on investments
Rate of increase in salaries
Increase in pensions

4.2%
4.9%
3.3%

130

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 201227 penSion coMMitMentS CONTINUED
At the valuation date, the market value of the Scheme’s assets (excluding AVCs) was £59.4 million which was 
sufficient to cover 78% of the benefits that had accrued to members, after making allowances for future increases 
in earnings.

As part of the valuation at 31 December 2011, the Company and the trustees have agreed upon a Schedule  
of Contributions and a Recovery Plan. During 2012 the Company contributions for benefits building up in the 
future were 28.6% of pensionable earnings. From 1 February 2013 the Company will pay contributions of 35.9% 
of pensionable earnings. To address the Scheme deficit the Company made contributions of £0.6 million under 
the previous Recovery Plan in January 2012 and £3.5 million in December 2012 in line with the Recovery Plan 
agreed for the Scheme following the actuarial valuation at 31 December 2011.

The Company plans to make further additional contributions of £2.5 million in 2013, £2.0 million in 2014  
and £1.25 million each year until the year ended 31 December 2018. Employee contributions are 6% of 
pensionable earnings.

The Scheme closed to all new employees joining the Group after 1 April 2002. New employees are given the  
option to join a defined contribution scheme. Contributions of £0.8 million were paid to the scheme during  
the year (2011: £0.8 million). There are no outstanding or prepaid balances at the year end. 

An update of the Scheme was carried out by a qualified independent actuary using the latest available information 
for the purposes of this statement. The major assumptions used in this update by the actuary were:

Rate of increase in salaries
Rate of increase in pensions in payment
Rate of increase in deferred pensions
Discount rate
Inflation assumption
Expected return on Scheme assets
Longevity at age 65 for current pensioners (years)

An alternative method of valuation is the estimated cost of buying out benefits at 31 December 2012 with  
a suitable insurer. This amount represents the amount that would be required to settle the Scheme liabilities  
at 31 December 2012 rather than the Company continuing to fund the ongoing liabilities of the Scheme.  
The Company estimates the amount required to settle the Scheme’s liabilities at 31 December 2012 is around  
£91 million which gives a Scheme shortfall on a buyout basis of approximately £21 million.

(i) Poit Energia
On 16 April 2012 the Group completed the acquisition of the entire share capital of Companhia Brasileira de 
Locacoes (‘Poit Energia’), a leading provider of temporary power solutions in South America. The acquisition of 
Poit Energia supports Aggreko’s strategy of expanding its Local business in fast growing economies; it strengthens 
Aggreko’s business in South America, both in terms of geographical footprint and access to sectors which Aggreko 
is currently not in or has limited exposure.

The purchase consideration, paid in cash, comprised a fixed element of £104.7 million and further payments  
up to a maximum of £20.4 million if performance targets for the year to 31 December 2012 were met. At the 
acquisition date the total £20.4 million was accrued as this was considered the most likely outcome. This gave  
a total consideration of £125.1 million. 

The Group completed the acquisition and the legal merger of Poit Energia with the existing Aggreko Brazil 
business earlier than anticipated and accordingly agreed with the vendors that the earn out period would be 
terminated early in return for a payment of £3.1 million out of the possible deferred consideration of £20.4 million. 
The resulting difference of £17.3 million has been taken to the income statement in the period as an exceptional 
credit. (Refer to Note 7).

The initial transaction price of £137.5 million (R$404 million) disclosed at the time of the acquisition was 
made up of £104.7 million consideration payable to the owners of Poit Energia plus £32.8 million of debt 
(including loans and financing) to be paid off by Aggreko on behalf of Poit Energia. Of the £137.5 million, 
£133.0 million was settled by 31 December 2012 comprising £104.7 million of the fixed consideration and 
£28.3 million of debt (£22.2 million of loans and financing and £6.1 million of working capital payments).  
The remaining debt amount of £4.5 million will be settled in the normal course of business as it falls due. 

The revenue and operating profit included in the consolidated income statement from 16 April 2012 to  
31 December 2012 contributed by Poit Energia was £33.2 million and £2.8 million respectively. Had Poit 
Energia been consolidated from 1 January 2012, the consolidated income statement for the year ended  
31 December 2012 would show revenue and operating profit of £48.5 million and £3.6 million (including  
the vendors’ transaction fees) respectively.

The acquisition method of accounting has been adopted and the goodwill arising on the purchase has been 
capitalised. Acquisition related costs of £1.5 million have been expensed in the year and are included within 
the exceptional items in the income statement.

The fair values contain some provisional amounts which will be finalised in quarter one 2013. These include the 
physical condition of fleet assets which have still to be finally assessed. Goodwill represents the value of synergies 
arising from the integration of the acquired business. Synergies include direct cost savings and the reduction of 
overheads as well as the ability to leverage Aggreko systems and access to assets.

(ii) Power Plus Rental & Sales Ltd  
On 19 August 2008 the Group acquired substantially all the assets and business of Power Plus Rental & Sales  
Ltd. During the year to 31 December 2012 the Group agreed with the vendors that £1.0 million of the deferred 
consideration was payable. At 31 December 2012 this amount was accrued and goodwill was adjusted accordingly. 
This amount was subsequently paid to the vendor in January 2013.

Aggreko plc Annual Report and Accounts 2012noteS to the coMpany accountS
For the year ended 31 December 2012

30 coMpany accounting policieS
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention,  
as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at  
fair values in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable accounting standards in the United 
Kingdom. A summary of the more important Company accounting policies is set out below. These policies  
have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Tangible assets
Tangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes purchase 
price, and directly attributable costs of bringing the assets into the location and condition where it is capable  
for use. Borrowings costs are not capitalised.

Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis at annual rates estimated to write off the cost of each asset 
over its useful life from the date it is available for use. The principal period of depreciation used is as follows:

Vehicles, plant and equipment 

4 to 15 years.

Impairment of tangible assets
Tangible assets are depreciated and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by 
which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an 
asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is calculated using estimated cashflows. These are 
discounted using an appropriate long-term pre-tax interest rate. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets 
are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (income-generating units).

Foreign currencies
At individual Company level, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of 
exchange on the day the transaction occurs. At the year end, monetary assets and liabilities denominated  
in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary  
assets are translated at the historical rate. In order to hedge its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks, the 
Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts. The Company’s financial statements are presented  
in Sterling, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Derivative financial instruments
The accounting policy is identical to that applied by the consolidated Group as set out on page 103, however  
the UK GAAP standards are applied specifically FRS 26 ‘Financial instruments: Measurement’ and FRS 29 
‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’.

Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently 
stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the redemption 
value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate.

Cash flow statement and related party disclosures
The Company is included in the Group Accounts of Aggreko plc, which are publicly available. Consequently, the 
Company is not required to produce a cash flow statement under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 1 ‘Cash 
Flow Statements (revised 1996)’. The Company is also exempt under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 8 
‘Related Party Disclosures’ from disclosing related party transactions with entities that are part of the Group. 

Taxation
The charge for ordinary taxation is based on the profit/loss for the year and takes into account full provision  
for deferred tax, using the approach set out in FRS 19, ‘Deferred Tax’ in respect of timing differences on a non-
discounted basis. Such timing differences arise primarily from the differing treatment for taxation and accounting 
purposes of provisions and depreciation of fixed assets.

Pensions
The Company operates both a defined benefit pension scheme and a defined contribution pension scheme.  
The accounting policy is identical to that applied by the consolidated Group as set out on pages 104 and 105.

Investments
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated in the balance sheet of the Company at cost, or nominal value 
of the shares issued as consideration where applicable, less provision for any impairment in value. Share-based 
payments recharged to subsidiary undertakings are treated as capital contributions and are added to investments.

139

For the year ended 31 December 2012

30 coMpany accounting policieS CONTINUED
Leases
Leases where substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company are 
classified as operating leases. Rentals under operating leases are charged against operating profit on a straight  
line basis over the term of the lease.

Share-based payments
The accounting policy is identical to that applied by the consolidated Group as set out on page 105 with the 
exception that shares issued by the Company to employees of its subsidiaries for which no consideration is 
received are treated as an increase in the Company’s investment in those subsidiaries.

Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company’s financial 
statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders.

To fund the acquisition of Poit Energia (see Note 29) the Company was allotted 1 share of £1 in Aggreko Holdings 
Limited for a total consideration of £134.2 million. The Company was allotted a further 2 shares of £1 each for a total 
consideration of £3.4 million to allow Aggreko Holdings Limited to finance a number of the Group’s subsidiaries.

Details of the Company’s principal subsidiary undertakings are set out in Note 28 to the Group Accounts.  
The Directors believe that the carrying value of the investments is supported by their underlying net assets.

The floating rate financial liabilities principally comprise debt which carries interest based on different benchmark 
rates depending on the currency of the balance and are normally fixed in advance for periods between one and 
three months.

The effect of the Company’s interest rate swaps is to classify £78.4 million (2011: £81.7 million) of borrowings  
in the above table as fixed rate.

The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts at 31 December 2012 was  
£78.4 million (2011: £81.7 million).

(i) Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
The following table provides a comparison by category of the carrying amounts and the fair values of the 
Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities at 31 December 2012. Fair value is the amount at which  
a financial instrument could be exchanged in an arm’s length transaction between informed and willing parties, 
other than a forced or liquidation sale and excludes accrued interest. Where available, market values have been 
used to determine fair values.

Primary financial instruments held or issued  
  to finance the Company’s operations:
Current bank borrowings and overdrafts
Amounts due to subsidiary undertakings

(ii) Summary of methods and assumptions
Interest rate swaps and forward foreign currency contracts
Fair value is based on market price of these instruments at the balance sheet date.

Current borrowings and overdrafts/liquid resources
The fair value of liquid resources and current borrowings and overdrafts approximates to the carrying amount 
because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Non-current borrowings
In the case of non-current borrowings, the fair value approximates to the carrying value reported in the balance sheet.

(iii) Financial instruments
Numerical financial instruments disclosures are set out below. Additional disclosures are set out in the financial 
review and accounting policies relating to risk management.

Less than one year:
Interest rate swaps – cash flow hedge
Forward foreign currency contracts – cash flow hedge

The net fair value losses at 31 December 2012 on open interest rate swaps that hedge interest risk are £12.9 million 
(2011: losses of £13.5 million). These will be debited to the profit and loss account interest charge over the 
remaining life of each interest rate swap. The net fair value losses at 31 December 2012 on open forward 
exchange contracts that hedge the foreign currency risk of future anticipated expenditure are £0.3 million.  
These will be allocated to expenditure when the forecast expenditure occurs.

payMent oF dividendS By BacS
Many Shareholders have already arranged for dividends to be paid by mandate directly to their bank or building 
society account. The Company mandates dividends through the BACS (Bankers’ Automated Clearing Services) 
system. The benefit to Shareholders of the BACS payment method is that the Registrar posts the tax vouchers 
directly to them, whilst the dividend is credited on the payment date to the Shareholder’s bank or building 
society account. Shareholders who have not yet arranged for their dividends to be paid directly to their bank  
or building society account and wish to benefit from this service should request the Company’s Registrar to send 
them a Dividend/Interest mandate form or alternatively complete the mandate form accompanying their 
dividend warrant and tax voucher in May 2013.

overSeaS dividend payMentS
Capita Registrars has partnered with Travelex, the world’s largest specialist provider of commercial international 
payment services, to provide you with a service that will convert your Sterling dividends into your local currency. 
Your dividend will then be conveniently paid directly into your local bank account. For further information 
about the International Payment Service from Capita Registrars, including details of how to apply, please visit 
www.capitaregistrars.com/international or call 0871 664 0385 (calls costs 10p per minute plus network extras)  
or +44 (0)20 8639 3405 (outside of UK) between 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. GMT. Alternatively you may wish to 
email your enquiry to IPS@capitaregistrars.com.

online Shareholder ServiceS and Share dealing
Shareholders may wish to take advantage of the ‘Online’ enquiry service offered by the Registrar. This service allows 
a Shareholder to access his/her own account to verify address details and the number of shares held. The service can 
be obtained on http://shares.aggreko.com. The Registrar also offers a share dealing service to existing Shareholders.

SharegiFt
We value all our Shareholders, no matter how many shares they own, but we do realise that some Shareholders 
hold on to small quantities of shares because they believe that the cost of selling them would make the transaction 
uneconomic. A free service is available to enable Shareholders with small holdings, should they so wish, to donate 
their shares to charity, and gain the benefit of tax relief on this donation. This scheme has been successfully 
adopted by several large quoted companies, and further details are available from the Secretary.

Boiler rooM ScaMS
Over the last few years many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited 
phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas based ‘brokers’ 
who target UK shareholders offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or 
UK investments. These operations are commonly known as ‘boiler rooms’. These ‘brokers’ can be very persistent 
and extremely persuasive, and a 2006 survey by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has reported that the 
average amount lost by investors is around £20,000.

It is not just the novice investor that has been duped in this way; many of the victims had been successfully 
investing for several years. Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy 
shares at a discount or offers of free Company reports.

If you receive any unsolicited investment advice:

www.fsa.gov.uk/register/. 

 – Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation. 
 – Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved. You can check at  
 – Report the matter to the FSA either by calling 0845 606 1234 or visiting www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk. 
 – If the calls persist, hang up.

If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you would not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services 
Compensation Scheme. The FSA can be contacted by completing an online form at www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/
doing/regulated/law/alerts/overseas.shtml.

Details of any sharedealing facilities that the Company endorses will be included in Company mailings.

More detailed information on this or similar activity can be found on the FSA website www.fsa.gov.uk/consumer/.
