achieved our objectives in 2016,

2016 achievements
With a strong operational and
management team in place, we
achieved a great deal in 2016:
reporting net profit after tax at the
top end of our guidance, increasing
shareholder returns, and delivering
exemplary building, infrastructure
and resources projects for our clients.
In 2016, our projects were delivered
through dedicated businesses
focused on our core areas:
• Construction (CPB Contractors
incorporating Leighton Asia);
• Mining and mineral processing
(Thiess and Sedgman);

building on
a solid foundation
to deliver
strong and
sustainable
shareholder
returns
• Public Private Partnerships or PPPs
(Pacific Partnerships); and
• Engineering (EIC Activities).
We are currently incorporating
diversified services company UGL
into our stable, following a successful
takeover offer in late 2016. UGL’s
areas of expertise will continue to
be the delivery of critical assets and
essential services to our clients.
By focusing the skills, experience
and expertise of our Operating
Companies into activity driven
businesses that work together we
have gained a competitive edge.
Our team
Around the world, we have a first-
rate team of 50,500 people who
are focused on delivering our 434
active projects, to the benefit of our
shareholders and clients.
I am immensely proud of all that our
people have achieved in recent years,
including the many changes involved
in our transformation to an activity-
focused operating model.
an integral part in CIMIC Group’s
achievements during the past three
years, first as Chief Operating Officer
and then as Deputy Chief Executive
Officer. The Board and I have every
confidence in Adolfo’s ability to lead
CIMIC Group.
I am honoured to continue as
Executive Chairman and I look
forward to continuing to guide CIMIC
Group in this capacity.
With these achievements in place,
and a strong leadership team
established, I was pleased to hand
over my responsibilities as Chief
Executive Officer and Managing
Director to Adolfo Valderas in
October 2016. Adolfo has played

In 2016, CIMIC launched the new CIMIC Group Graduate Program. The program
develops our future leaders, providing graduates with on-the-job training,
structured learning in their discipline and exposure to a global business. When
joining our Operating Companies, graduates benefit from a global program that
provides a structured learning plan over a two year period. They experience three
eight-month rotations with placements in various roles, projects or Operating
Companies within the Group. The success of the program led CIMIC Group to
be recognised as one of the GradConnection Top100 Most Popular Graduate
Employers for 2016 and to be rated by the Australian Association of Graduate
Employers as a Top 75 Graduate Employer for 2017.
Shareholder returns
and dividends
Our strong performance in 2016, as
outlined by Adolfo on the following
page, has enabled the Board to
declare a 100% franked final dividend
of 62 cents per share to be paid on
4 July 2017. On a full year basis, total
2016 dividends were 110 cents per
share ($357 million in total), a 14.6%
increase compared with 2015.
Basic earnings per share was 176.6
cents, up 14.9% (relative to an 11.5%
increase in net profit after tax),
boosted by the benefits of the share
buy-back.
Our focus on shareholder returns
continued in 2016 and there was a
43.8% increase in CIMIC’s share price
during the year. Combining the share
price appreciation and dividends in
respect of the 2016 Financial Year,
CIMIC delivered a total shareholder
return of 48%.
On 28 December 2016, we concluded
an on-market share buy-back,
improving shareholder returns
and demonstrating our disciplined
approach to capital management.
On 12 December 2016, we announced
the commencement of a further on-
market share buy-back of up to 10%
of our fully paid ordinary shares over
12 months commencing from
29 December 2016.
Sustainability
For CIMIC, sustainability is the
integration of environmental,
social and governance factors into
our decision-making to maximise
long term shareholder value, and
contribute to safe and healthy
employees, communities and
ecosystems.
In 2016, our commitment to acting
sustainably was reinforced through
the launch of our Sustainability
Policy. This Policy sets out minimum
requirements for sustainability across
the Group. Amongst other things, the
Policy commits the Group to abiding
by the principles of the UN Global
Compact and we acknowledge
our role in contributing to the UN
Sustainable Development Goals. The
Sustainability Policy is available on
our website at www.cimic.com.au.
Looking forward
Public and private clients in CIMIC’s
markets are continuing to invest,
providing exciting opportunities for
CIMIC to contribute our civil, mining,
mechanical and electrical capabilities,
and our PPP, project and operational
experience.
Our financial strength is also an
advantage as we pursue new
opportunities and look to expand.
In closing, I would like to thank all of
our shareholders for your continued
support.
I look forward to updating you further
on our Company’s performance at
the Annual General Meeting on 13
April 2017.
Sincerely,
Marcelino Fernández Verdes

Chief Executive Officer’s review
2016 was an important year for CIMIC Group,
one in which we built on the solid foundation
established during the transformation of
our businesses in 2014 and 2015.
Performance overview
Our 2016 result was solid,
demonstrated by an 11.5% increase in
net profit after tax to $580.3 million,
which was at the top end of our
guidance range of $520 million to
$580 million.
Our margins further improved during
the year as we efficiently managed
costs and risks.
Our strong balance sheet position
was also sustained. Cash flows from
operating activities9 were strong at
$1.2 billion. We reported net cash
excluding operating leases of
$409.3 million as at 31 December
2016, after net investments of
$1 billion, including the share buy-
back program, the acquisition of
shares in UGL, Sedgman and Devine,
and the divestment of Nextgen.
Revenue4 was $10.9 billion and
showed a positive growth trend
throughout 2016, increasing quarter
on quarter since the second quarter
of the year.
Further details on our Company’s
performance are contained in the
Operating and Financial Review
section within this Annual Report.
Work won and our outlook
CIMIC has a robust pipeline of
$34 billion of work in hand13 as at
31 December 2016, boosted by the
acquisition of UGL, and a robust
project pipeline.
We were successful in light and
heavy rail, winning the Gold Coast
Light Rail Stage Two in Queensland,
the Canberra Light Rail Stage One
in the Australian Capital Territory
(a PPP project), and the removal of
certain level crossings in Victoria.
Our other civil contract wins included
the design and construction of an
extension of the Roe Highway in

Western Australia and, in Hong Kong,
the Tseung Kwan O – Lam Tin Tunnel,
and a columbarium, to name just
a few.
In mining and mineral processing,
we diversified by geography and
commodity, expanding into oil
sands in Canada. We were also
awarded new coal mining work in
Indonesia, won multiple contracts
in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, and
secured a contract extension at a
diamond mine in Botswana.
Looking ahead, around $100 billion of
tenders, relevant to CIMIC, have been
identified for 2017 and there are in
the order of $250 billion of projects
coming to the market in 2018
and beyond.
This robust pipeline of infrastructure,
mining and services projects is
expected to deliver growth in the
medium and long term, and our
2017 guidance is to achieve net
profit after tax in the range of
$640 million to $700 million,
subject to market conditions.
Strategic acquisition of UGL
In October last year, we launched a
successful takeover offer for UGL,
a diversified services company.
We now own 100% of UGL and it is
currently being integrated as part
of CIMIC Group.
Including UGL amongst our
companies is a great opportunity
– both for CIMIC and UGL. UGL’s
competencies, in the rail, transport
and technology systems, power,
resources, water and defence
sectors are complementary to our
existing operations or enhance our
capabilities in new activities.
UGL has a strong brand and more
than 6,800 employees across
Australia, New Zealand and South
East Asia. We are already working
alongside UGL in consortia and
through subcontracts, confirming
our confidence in UGL.
We also recently announced an offer
to acquire the shares in Macmahon
that we do not already own through
an off-market takeover offer at a
price of $0.145 per share. We have
been an investor in Macmahon
since June 2007. We will keep the
market informed of our progress
with the offer.
Culture, people and safety
We have made significant changes to
put in place strong foundations for
our future, as demonstrated by our
recent project wins.
We are now working to build on
this by further solidifying a culture
of innovation, collaboration and
learning. By sharing and continuing
to build on the knowledge that
resides within our business, we are
in a better position to successfuly
deliver for our clients and provide
fulfilling careers for our people.
We are doing this in a number
of ways, small and large. CPB
Contractors and Leighton Asia are
working as one construction unit.
Both Pacific Partnerships and UGL
have successfully won work with
CPB Contractors. EIC Activities is
collaborating closely with all of our
Group companies and has launched
a Group-wide project knowledge
database. The complementary skill
sets of Thiess and Sedgman has
enabled them to deliver projects as a
team. Group-wide we have launched
a graduate program, a leadership
program, an internal communication
platform, and brought increased
focus to good physical and mental
health in our workplaces.
These are just a handful of examples
of the great work that is going on
across CIMIC Group.

Conclusion
Lastly, I would like to convey the
enthusiasm of the whole CIMIC
team for the year ahead. The
Company is well positioned to
benefit from the strong pipeline
of infrastructure, mining, services
and operations and maintenance
projects across all of the regions
where we operate.
I look forward to updating you
further at the Annual General
Meeting on 13 April 2017.
Sincerely,

RobecoSam included CIMIC in its
2017 Sustainability Yearbook and
we were awarded a bronze class
distinction for excellent sustainability
performance based on the 2016 DJSI
submission. CIMIC was one of only 10
companies in the global construction
and engineering industry to be
recognised.
Following a review in June 2016,
CIMIC was also included in the
FTSE4Good Index which measures
the performance of companies
demonstrating strong Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG)
practices.
During 2016, the Australian Council
of Superannuation Investors
(ACSI), which benchmarks the
public disclosures of S&P/ASX200
companies with reference to material
ESG risks, rated CIMIC at the level of
‘detailed’ in its 2016 research report.
This is the second highest rating of
ACSI’s five categories.
We also continue to focus on making
CIMIC a safe place to work. In
2016, we continued to improve our
Total Recordable Injury Frequency
Rate (TRIFR) measured per million
hours worked. To me, safety means
providing a workplace where every
single one of our employees is
safe each and every day – with no
exceptions.
Therefore, it is with great sadness
that I report the death of three of
our colleagues at CPB Contractors,
Leighton Asia and Thiess project
sites following incidents in 2016. On
behalf of the Board and all of CIMIC’s
people, I express my sincere sorrow
and personal sympathies to the
families and friends of our colleagues
who passed away. I am determined
to focus on ensuring that these
tragedies are not repeated.
Sustainability
I’m pleased to report that the Group
was again recognised in 2016 by
the industry leading Dow Jones
Sustainability Indices (DJSI) which
tracks the performance of the
companies which lead their industries
in terms of corporate sustainability.
CIMIC was again included in DJSI’s
Australia Index, and CIMIC and UGL
were the only two construction and
engineering companies to be so
recognised. CIMIC was recognised
as a construction and engineering
global leader in three categories:

INDEMNITY FOR GROUP OFFICERS AND AUDITORS
CONSTITUTION
The Constitution includes indemnities in favour of people who are, or have been, an ‘Officer’ or auditor of the Company. ‘Officer’ is
defined in the Constitution as any Director, Secretary or executive officer of the Company.
The Constitution states that, to the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies every person who is or has been:
an Officer, against any liability to any person (other than the Company or a related entity) incurred while acting in that capacity and
an Officer or auditor of the Company, against costs and expenses incurred by that person in that capacity in successfully defending
•
•
in good faith; and
legal proceedings and ancillary matters.
DIRECTORS’ DEED OF INDEMNITY
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity, insurance and access with its current and former Directors. Under each director’s
deed, the Company indemnifies the Director to the extent permitted by law against any liability (including liability for legal defence costs)
incurred by the Director as an Officer or former Officer of the Company or any Operating Company, or while acting at the request of the
Company or any Operating Company as an Officer of a non-controlled entity.
DEEDS OF INDEMNITY FOR CERTAIN OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity with particular Officers, employees or former Officers and employees of the Company

No person who was an officer of the Company during the 2016 Financial Year was a director or partner of the Group’s external auditor at
a time the Group’s external auditor conducted the audit.
INDEMNITY FOR GROUP OFFICERS AND AUDITORS
CONSTITUTION
The Constitution includes indemnities in favour of people who are, or have been, an ‘Officer’ or auditor of the Company. ‘Officer’ is
defined in the Constitution as any Director, Secretary or executive officer of the Company.
The Constitution states that, to the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies every person who is or has been:

in good faith; and
an Officer or auditor of the Company, against costs and expenses incurred by that person in that capacity in successfully defending
legal proceedings and ancillary matters.
•
DIRECTORS’ DEED OF INDEMNITY
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity, insurance and access with its current and former Directors. Under each director’s
deed, the Company indemnifies the Director to the extent permitted by law against any liability (including liability for legal defence costs)
incurred by the Director as an Officer or former Officer of the Company or any Operating Company, or while acting at the request of the
Company or any Operating Company as an Officer of a non-controlled entity.

Company, or while acting at the request of the Company or any Operating Company as an Officer or employee of a non-controlled entity.
The Officers and employees who have the benefit of a deed of indemnity are, or were at the time, a Secretary of the Company, Directors
of an Operating Company, or a General Manager or Senior Manager within the Group, as defined by that deed.

15/02/2017 9:44 am
CIMIC Group Limited Annual Report 2016 | Directors’ Report
In February 2013 the Board resolved to extend similar deeds of indemnity to any person that is or becomes:
•
a Director, Secretary, General Counsel or an executive (in a role that has been approved by the CEO, CFO or Company Secretary) of
the Company, an Operating Company or a subsidiary of an Operating Company; or
a Director, Company Secretary or an executive (in a role that has been approved by the CEO, CFO or Company Secretary) of a non-
controlled entity at the request of the Company or an Operating Company.
•
INSURANCE FOR GROUP OFFICERS
During and since the end of the 2016 Financial Year, the Company has paid or agreed to pay premiums in respect of contracts insuring
persons who are or have been a Group Officer against certain liabilities (including legal costs) incurred in that capacity. Group Officer for
this purpose means any Director or Company Secretary of CIMIC or any Subsidiary and includes any other person who is concerned with,
or takes part in, the management of CIMIC or a Subsidiary.
Under the directors’ deeds and the deeds of indemnity described above, the Company has undertaken to the relevant Officer, employee
or former Officer or employee that it will insure the Officer or employee against certain liabilities incurred in their applicable capacity in
the Company or any Subsidiary or as an Officer or employee of a non-controlled entity where the position is, or was, held at the request
of the Company or any Subsidiary.
The insurance contracts entered into by the Company prohibit disclosure of the specific nature of the liabilities covered by the insurance
contracts and the amount of the premiums.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
Details of the amounts paid or payable to our external auditor, Deloitte, for non-audit services provided during the 2016 Financial Year to
entities within the Group are set out in the table below.
The Board has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit and Risk Committee, is satisfied that
the provision of non-audit services during the 2016 Financial Year is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors
imposed by the Corporations Act.
The Board is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by Deloitte, as set out in the following table, did not compromise the
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act for the following reasons:
•
all non-audit services were reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee and the Committee believes that they do not impact the

STRATEGY
RISK MANAGEMENT
OPERATING MODEL
Since 2014, CIMIC’s operating model has been focused on the delivery of construction, mining and mineral processing, PPPs, and
engineering projects through dedicated activity-focused businesses. In FY16 CIMIC consolidated its strategy, following the reorganisation
of its businesses in the prior years around its core activities, and existing and strategic markets. This has assisted the Group to deliver an
improved operating performance.
CIMIC further diversified its existing activities, during FY16, mining new materials markets (e.g. mineral sands) and new geographies (e.g.
Canada), as well as through the strategic acquisitions of UGL and Sedgman. This was achieved by leveraging the Group’s financial
strength, focusing on cash generation and an improved risk profile.
The acquisition of UGL complements and expands CIMIC’s services capabilities and provides a platform to develop and grow our presence
in this strategic sector. Strong growth is expected from services opportunities particularly in road and rail infrastructure, oil and gas,
defence, water and renewable energy. CIMIC is already working alongside UGL in delivering the Melbourne Water Nutrient Removal
Plant, and the Sydney Metro Northwest Operations, Trains and Systems Public Private Partnership, which is a significant part of
Australia’s largest transport infrastructure project.
The Group’s mission is to generate sustainable economic returns for shareholders by delivering projects for our clients while providing
safe, rewarding and fulfilling careers for our people. CIMIC is in an exceptional position to capitalise on growth opportunities and pursue
selective acquisitions to support long-term sustainable growth, both domestically and internationally. The strategic acquisitions during
FY16, and the unconditional takeover offer for Macmahon in FY17, reflect this growth-oriented strategy.
The Group’s objectives are to:
•
continue to strengthen existing capabilities and win a fair share of work in construction, mining and mineral processing, services and
PPPs, by building on the Group’s strong competitive position;
develop and expand the Group’s services business by benefiting from complementary activities and securing opportunities in market
growth areas in Australia and select new geographies;
further expand in the PPP sector, building on the robust pipeline of opportunities in the Australia Pacific region;
achieve growth by diversifying according to commodity and activity in select markets and geographies, e.g. by further exporting
mining skills into North and South America;
expand existing capabilities into adjacent markets and services;
continue to pursue operational excellence and optimise operations to achieve sustainable profits and improve sustainability;
further develop FleetCo, our mining equipment hire business, which is using CIMIC’s existing business resources to gain new
opportunities and provide a flexible service to clients; and
continue to foster a disciplined approach to capital allocation, e.g. the acquisitions of UGL and Sedgman, the share buy-back and the
divestment of Nextgen.

The Principles of Integrity, Accountability, Innovation and Delivery, underpinned by Safety, guide all of the Group’s activities.
ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTMENTS AND GROWTH
On 23 February 2016, CIMIC increased its ownership interest in Sedgman, a resources engineering entity formerly listed on ASX, to 51%
and thereby gained control of Sedgman. The acquisition was made through an unconditional off-market takeover offer. CIMIC
subsequently increased its ownership interest in Sedgman to greater than 90% and exercised its right to compulsorily acquire the
remaining shares and delist the Company, which was completed on 13 April 2016.
On 24 November 2016, CIMIC increased its ownership interest in diversified services company UGL, an entity formerly listed on ASX, to
over 50% and thereby gained control of UGL. The acquisition was made through an unconditional off-market takeover offer. CIMIC
subsequently increased its ownership interest in UGL to greater than 90% and exercised its right to compulsorily acquire the remaining
shares and delist the Company, which was completed on 20 January 2017. CIMIC is currently incorporating UGL into the Group’s stable.
On 5 December 2016, CIMIC completed the divestment of its interest in Nextgen, a network and data centre telecommunications
company. CIMIC sold its 29% holding to Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan resulting in a profit before tax gain on sale of $70.1 million.
CIMIC’s strong balance sheet enables the Group to continue to evaluate acquisition or investment options that match our capabilities as
opportunities arise.

CIMIC defines risk management as the identification, assessment and treatment of risks that have the potential to impact materially the
Group’s operations, people, and reputation, the environment and communities in which the Group works, and the financial prospects of
CIMIC’s risk management framework is tailored to its business, embedded mostly within existing processes and aligned to the Company’s
objectives, both short and longer term.
Given the diversity of the Group’s operations and the breadth of its geographies and markets, a wide range of risk factors have the
potential to affect the achievement of business objectives. Key risks, including those arising due to externalities such as the economic,
natural and social operating environments, are set out in the following table, together with the Group’s approach to managing those

RISK MANAGEMENT
CIMIC defines risk management as the identification, assessment and treatment of risks that have the potential to impact materially the
Group’s operations, people, and reputation, the environment and communities in which the Group works, and the financial prospects of
the Group.
CIMIC’s risk management framework is tailored to its business, embedded mostly within existing processes and aligned to the Company’s
objectives, both short and longer term.
Given the diversity of the Group’s operations and the breadth of its geographies and markets, a wide range of risk factors have the
potential to affect the achievement of business objectives. Key risks, including those arising due to externalities such as the economic,
natural and social operating environments, are set out in the following table, together with the Group’s approach to managing those
risks.

TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN
Combining the share price appreciation and dividends in respect of the 2016 Financial Year, CIMIC delivered a total shareholder return of
48% in 2016.
DIVIDENDS
The Group seeks to reward shareholders by paying dividends over time in line with profits. In the year under review, CIMIC delivered on
this approach. Ordinary dividends for the year totalled 110 cents per share and comprised:
•
•
an interim dividend of 48 cents per share, franked at 100%, paid on 5 October 2016; and
a final dividend of 62 cents per share, franked at 100%, to be paid on 4 July 2017.
SHARE BUY-BACK PROGRAM
On 28 December 2016, CIMIC concluded its on-market share buy-back of up to 10% of its fully paid ordinary shares over 12 months.
During the buy-back, CIMIC purchased and cancelled 14,249,466 shares (equivalent to 4.2% of the capital stock at the beginning of the
share buy-back program) an average price of $29.89 per share.
On 12 December 2016, CIMIC announced a further on-market share buy-back of up to 10% of its fully paid ordinary shares for a period of
12 months commencing on 29 December 2016. The initiative continues to reflect CIMIC’s strong balance sheet position, strong cash flow
generation and a disciplined approach to capital management. The further buy-back is being funded by a combination of CIMIC’s existing
cash balances and working capital facilities. The timing and number of shares purchased will depend on CIMIC’s share price and market
conditions.
EPS (basic) was 176.6 cents, an increase of 14.9% on FY15 (compared to an 11.5% increase in NPAT), as well as being boosted by the
benefits of the share buy-back.

Group revenue from the various market segments was split 64:36 between domestic and international markets, compared with
63:37 in FY15.
CONSTRUCTION REVENUE
Construction revenue was $7.3 billion for FY16, a decrease of 21.5%, or $2.0 billion, compared to FY15, reflecting the completion of a
number of large, primarily LNG-related infrastructure projects and the transition to the delivery of various large urban infrastructure
projects that are in preliminary stages.
The major mining & mineral processing projects by revenue included:
Lake Vermont, Mount Owen and Curragh North coal mines in Australia;

•
Solomon iron ore mine in Australia;
Prominent Hill copper and gold mine in Australia; and
Kaltim Prima coal mine in Indonesia.
SERVICES REVENUE

Services revenue from UGL, consolidated from 24 November 2016 (the period that CIMIC held an interest greater than 50%), was
COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL REVENUE
Commercial & residential revenue was $439.8 million for FY16, a decrease of 55.5%, or $547.7 million, compared to FY15. The decline in
revenue is a result of the significant sales in FY15. This reflects CIMIC’s strategy to reduce the size and scope of its non-core business,
while continuing to maximise the value of its property investments.
CORPORATE REVENUE
Corporate revenue was $106.6 million for FY16, an increase of 17.7%, or $16.0 million, compared to FY15.
REVENUE – JOINT VENTURES AND ASSOCIATES
Revenue from joint ventures and associates was $2.7 billion for FY16, a decrease of 5.9%, or $167.1 million, compared to FY15.
Included in FY16 joint ventures and associates revenue is contributions from HLG Contracting and Ventia. Sedgman was an equity
accounted associate until CIMIC gained control on 23 February 2016.
EXPENSES
Expenses were $10.1 billion for FY16, a decrease of 19.1%, or $2.4 billion, compared to FY15. The decrease was in excess of the reduction
in revenue, and reflects the Group’s disciplined approach to cost management.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation was $337.4 million for FY16, a decrease of 38.0%, or $206.4 million, compared to FY15. FY15 included a
one-off impairment of $50.0 million due to the decline in the recoverable amount of the marine fleet that was idle, in the construction
segment.

NET FINANCE COSTS
EBIT was $758.4 million for FY16, a decrease of 9.6%, or $80.5 million, compared to FY15. The EBIT margin was 7.0%, a 70 basis point
Net finance costs were $18.0 million for FY16, a decrease of 82.7%, or $85.9 million, compared to FY15. The decrease was due to the
Group’s improved financial structure, the buy-back of US$298.7 million of 10-Year Fixed-Rate Guaranteed Senior Notes in June 2015 that
resulted in a one-off expense in FY15, and significantly reduced interest costs over the remaining term of the Notes.

COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL REVENUE
Commercial & residential revenue was $439.8 million for FY16, a decrease of 55.5%, or $547.7 million, compared to FY15. The decline in
revenue is a result of the significant sales in FY15. This reflects CIMIC’s strategy to reduce the size and scope of its non-core business,
while continuing to maximise the value of its property investments.
CORPORATE REVENUE
Corporate revenue was $106.6 million for FY16, an increase of 17.7%, or $16.0 million, compared to FY15.
REVENUE – JOINT VENTURES AND ASSOCIATES
Revenue from joint ventures and associates was $2.7 billion for FY16, a decrease of 5.9%, or $167.1 million, compared to FY15.
Included in FY16 joint ventures and associates revenue is contributions from HLG Contracting and Ventia. Sedgman was an equity
accounted associate until CIMIC gained control on 23 February 2016.
EXPENSES
Expenses were $10.1 billion for FY16, a decrease of 19.1%, or $2.4 billion, compared to FY15. The decrease was in excess of the reduction
in revenue, and reflects the Group’s disciplined approach to cost management.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation was $337.4 million for FY16, a decrease of 38.0%, or $206.4 million, compared to FY15. FY15 included a
one-off impairment of $50.0 million due to the decline in the recoverable amount of the marine fleet that was idle, in the construction
segment.
EBIT
EBIT was $758.4 million for FY16, a decrease of 9.6%, or $80.5 million, compared to FY15. The EBIT margin was 7.0%, a 70 basis point
increase on FY15.
NET FINANCE COSTS
Net finance costs were $18.0 million for FY16, a decrease of 82.7%, or $85.9 million, compared to FY15. The decrease was due to the
Group’s improved financial structure, the buy-back of US$298.7 million of 10-Year Fixed-Rate Guaranteed Senior Notes in June 2015 that
resulted in a one-off expense in FY15, and significantly reduced interest costs over the remaining term of the Notes.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL POSITION
NET FINANCE COSTS (CONTINUED)
The average cost of debt was 5.5% during the period, impacted by the higher cost of fixed rate US bonds and finance leases.
Throughout FY16, CIMIC continued its working capital and operating cash flow focus which resulted in a strong balance sheet at
31 December 2016. The financial position at 31 December 2016 includes the consolidation of UGL, (refer to the Financial Report, ‘Note
29: Acquisitions, disposals of controlled entities and businesses’).

Construction margins have again increased, through the continued transformation of our business culture, including an improved risk
management and bidding approach, with stricter criteria for the on-boarding of projects. Construction PBT was $595.5 million for FY16, a
decrease of 8.3% or $53.7 million, compared with the 21.5% reduction in revenue.
Mining & mineral processing increased its contribution with expanded margins as a result of CIMIC’s strategy to diversify by commodity
and geography, achieved in part through the acquisition of Sedgman and further expansion into North and South American markets.
Mining & mineral processing PBT was $275.6 million for FY16, an increase of 18.6%, or $43.3 million.
HLG PBT was $29.4 million for FY16, an increase of 64.2%, or $11.5 million.
Commercial & residential PBT was a $74.7 million loss for FY16, a decrease of $145.2 million. The decrease was in part a result of Devine
undertaking a strategic review of its business, as well as a much larger contribution from property development sales in FY15.
Corporate PBT was a $94.0 million loss for FY16, a decrease of 60.0%, or $140.9 million. Corporate PBT significantly improved due to
reduced finance costs, and an increased contribution from associates and joint ventures. One-off gains from the acquisition of Sedgman
and the divestment of Nextgen were partly offset by onerous leases (including the 177 Pacific Highway, North Sydney lease).
INCOME TAX
Income tax expense was $188.0 million for FY16, a decrease of 14.8%, or $32.6 million, compared to FY15.
The effective tax rate of 25.4% was largely impacted by refunds on overpayment of income taxes in prior years relating to the divestment
of the John Holland and Ventia businesses; a conservative approach was taken to estimating taxes due on these divestments. Also
impacting the effective tax rate are income tax differentials relating to profits and losses from the various jurisdictions in which the Group
operates.
NET PROFIT AFTER TAX
NPAT was $580.3 million for FY16, an increase of 11.5%, or $59.9 million, compared to FY15. The NPAT margin was 5.3%, a 140 basis
point increase on FY15.
Profit for the year (profit after tax and before minorities) was $552.4 million. Non-controlling interests were $27.9 million, attributable to
the share of the minority owners in Devine’s losses for the period.
EPS (basic) was 176.6 cents, an increase of 14.9% on FY15 (compared to an 11.5% increase on NPAT), as well as being boosted by the
benefits of the share buy-back.

CIMIC Group Limited Annual Report 2016 | Operating and Financial Review
FINANCIAL POSITION (CONTINUED)
NET CASH / (DEBT) AND GEARING
Net cash was $409.3 million at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 63.2%, or $702.2 million, compared to 31 December 2015. Net cash at
31 December 2016 would have been approximately $1.4 billion if adjusted for the share buy-back, the net impact of the investments in
UGL, Sedgman and Devine, and the Nextgen divestment.19
At 31 December 2016, the Group’s gearing was 1.7% compared to below zero at 31 December 2015.
Interest bearing liabilities
Current and non-current interest bearing liabilities were $1,167.2 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 10.5%, or $110.9 million,
compared to 31 December 2015. The increase is a result of consolidating UGL’s interest bearing liabilities, as well as foreign exchange
impacts on interest bearing liabilities. This has been offset by the repayment of $276.9 million of finance leases during the course of the
year.
Bonding
CIMIC had significant bonding and guarantee facilities available which are integral to the successful delivery of existing and future work in
hand. Bonds and guarantees outstanding at 31 December 2016 were $3,967.6 million. An additional $1,544.8 million was undrawn of
which $575.4 million was committed and $969.4 million was uncommitted.
Credit ratings
On 14 December 2016, Standard & Poor’s confirmed its current investment grade rating for CIMIC of ‘BBB-/A-3’ with a stable outlook. On
10 October 2016, Moody’s Investors Service maintained an investment grade rating for CIMIC of ‘Baa3’ with a stable outlook.
CURRENT ASSETS
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables were $3,209.6 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 20.7%, or $550.0 million, compared to
31 December 2015. The figure includes $2,607.9 million (31 December 2015: $2,145.0 million) of amounts due from customers (refer to
net contract debtors below). The remaining balance relates to sundry debtors, joint venture working capital and other receivables.
The Group’s net contract debtors was $1,384.6 million at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 7.6%, or $114.6 million, compared to
31 December 2015. CIMIC continued to deliver an improvement in the level of net contract debtors and to de-risk the balance sheet
during the period. The Group has achieved a decline since 31 December 2015 due to its focus on debtor reduction and cash collection
initiatives.
The Group’s $675.0 million contract debtors portfolio provision remains unchanged at 31 December 2016.
Current tax assets
Current tax assets were $28.0 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 5.3%, or $1.4 million, compared to 31 December 2015.
Inventories: consumables and development properties
Inventories: consumables and development properties were $213.0 million at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 19.3%, or $51.0 million,
compared to 31 December 2015. The reduction is due to the sale of development property assets over the course of the year.
Assets held for sale
Assets held for sale were $47.7 million at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 79.8%, or $188.1 million, compared to 31 December 2015.
Assets held for sale at 31 December 2016 of $37.2 million relate to the Group’s marine fleet. The 31 December 2015 balance included
Arutmin Indonesia mining assets, which have been sold in FY16.
NON-CURRENT ASSETS
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables were $1,235.8 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 39.0%, or $346.6 million, compared to
31 December 2015. This figure includes $1,043.2 million (31 December 2015: $842.7 million) of non-current loan receivables and interest
receivable owed by HLG Contracting, (refer to the Financial Report, ‘Note 8: Trade and other receivables’).
Inventories: development properties
Inventories: development properties were $166.9 million at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 39.4%, or $108.4 million, compared to
31 December 2015.
19 Share buy-back program ($425.9 million); the net impact of the purchase of UGL of $701.4 million; the net impact of the purchase of
shares in Sedgman and Devine, less the cash acquired from the consolidation of Sedgman, of $76.9 million; and Nextgen proceeds of
$180.8 million.

Investments accounted for using the equity method
Investments accounted for using the equity method were $616.5 million at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 42.5%, or $456.6 million,
compared to 31 December 2015. This decrease is partly due to Sedgman no longer being recognised as an associate, as well as the
divestment of Nextgen. The consolidated financial statements include the full consolidation of Sedgman since the Group gained control
Equity accounted investments include project related associates and joint ventures, such as the Transmission Gully PPP in New Zealand,
along with the Group’s holdings in HLG Contracting, Ventia and Macmahon. For HLG Contracting refer to the Financial Report, ‘Note 26:
Other investments were $135.4 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 7.7%, or $9.7 million, compared to 31 December 2015.
Deferred tax assets were $310.1 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of $190.6 million, compared to 31 December 2015. This
includes deferred tax assets from the acquisition of UGL.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment was $1,355.7 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 3.3%, or $42.9 million, compared to
31 December 2015. At 31 December 2016, an additional $466.9 million was financed by the Group under operating leases. Additions to
property, plant and equipment during the period included the fit-out of 177 Pacific Highway, North Sydney and job-costed tunnelling
machines for new projects. The balance includes property, plant and equipment acquired from the acquisition of UGL of $72.7 million,
and the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations of $41.6 million.
Intangibles were $1,125.9 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 113.5%, or $598.5 million, compared to 31 December 2015.
Intangibles includes $914.0 million of goodwill. Additions to intangibles during FY16 included goodwill of $480.7 million and intangibles of
$70.6 million in relation to the acquisition of UGL, and $61.5 million of goodwill in relation to the acquisition of Sedgman.
Trade and other payables were $4,721.1 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 28.4%, or $1,045.4 million, compared to
31 December 2015. This figure includes $1,223.3 million (31 December 2016: $645.8 million) of amounts due to customers. The
remaining balance includes trade creditors, joint venture payables and other creditors.
Current tax liabilities were $126.6 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 55.7%, or $45.3 million, compared to 31 December 2015.
Provisions were $333.3 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 17.6%, or $49.9 million, compared to 31 December 2015. The
provision for employee benefits relates to wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, retirement benefits and deferred bonuses.
The increase is primarily due to recognising employee provisions in relation to the acquisition of UGL.
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale were $nil at 31 December 2016. $48.7 million of finance leases that related to Arutmin were

Equity was $3,312.4 million as at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 19.5%, or $802.9 million, compared to 31 December 2015. The
reduction in equity during the year is primarily due to the impact of the share buy-back, as well as the acquisitions of UGL and Sedgman.
This is offset by the net impact of the profit for the year and dividends paid.

FINANCIAL POSITION (CONTINUED)
Investments accounted for using the equity method
Investments accounted for using the equity method were $616.5 million at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 42.5%, or $456.6 million,
compared to 31 December 2015. This decrease is partly due to Sedgman no longer being recognised as an associate, as well as the
divestment of Nextgen. The consolidated financial statements include the full consolidation of Sedgman since the Group gained control
on 23 February 2016.
Equity accounted investments include project related associates and joint ventures, such as the Transmission Gully PPP in New Zealand,
along with the Group’s holdings in HLG Contracting, Ventia and Macmahon. For HLG Contracting refer to the Financial Report, ‘Note 26:
Joint venture entities’.
Other investments
Other investments were $135.4 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of 7.7%, or $9.7 million, compared to 31 December 2015.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets were $310.1 million at 31 December 2016, an increase of $190.6 million, compared to 31 December 2015. This

From operating activities
Cash flows from operating activites were $1.2 billion for FY16. FY16 showed a strong level of cash flow generation from operating
activities, a result of CIMIC’s continued focus on working capital management. EBITDA conversion was 110% in FY16. FY15 cashflows from
operating activities were boosted by property sales and the initial benefits of CIMIC’s working capital management strategy.
Free operating cash flow was $846.8 million for FY16. Income taxes paid have decreased by $294.0 million. The significant reduction in
the amount of taxes paid is primarily due to the timing of payments of taxes and receipt of refunds outside of the financial year to which
they relate. Finance costs have reduced due to the Group’s improved financial structure and lower cost of debt. Gross capital expenditure
was $280.2 million for FY16, an increase of 5.2%, or $13.9 million, compared to FY15. The increase was due in part to capital expenditure
on job-costed tunnelling machines for new projects, as well as the fit-out of 177 Pacific Highway, North Sydney.
From investing activities
Net cash outflows from investing activities were $281.7 million for FY16. This compares to an inflow of $1.2 billion in FY15. The significant
cash flows for FY16 included the net impact of the purchase of shares in UGL and Sedgman, $152.7 million loans to associates and joint
ventures, offset in part by $180.8 million proceeds from the divestment of Nextgen. FY15 included $1.7 billion of proceeds from the sale
of John Holland and 50% of Ventia, less $263.0 million of income tax paid in relation to proceeds received from the sale of these
investments.
From financing activities
Net cash outflows from financing activities were $1.4 billion for FY16 compared to $2.6 billion in FY15. The FY16 financing cash flows
include $425.9 million invested in the share buy-back, and payments for the acquisition of shares in UGL, Sedgman and Devine.
FY16 also included a $276.9 million repayment of finance leases. In FY15, the cash outflows from financing activities included the net
repayment of $2.0 billion in relation to interest bearing liabilities. This included the repurchase of 10-Year Fixed-Rate Guaranteed Senior
Notes, the repayment of other Guaranteed Senior Notes, and other bilateral, syndicated and other unsecured loans. (Refer to Financial
Report, ‘Note 19: Interest bearing liabilities’).

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OUTLOOK
MINING & MINERAL PROCESSING WORK IN HAND
Mining & mineral processing work in hand was $10.0 billion at 31 December 2016, an increase of 4.4%, or $425.4 million. CIMIC
continued to diversify its mining & mineral processing work in hand by commodity and geography, and during the year new work
included work won in North and South America.
SERVICES WORK IN HAND
Services work in hand was $4.9 billion at 31 December 2016. Services work in hand is diversified across a range of markets in Australia,
New Zealand and South East Asia. Major contracts include metro rail network operations and maintenance, freight rail and naval ship
maintenance, and asset management services across oil and gas, water and power.
The major projects secured in FY16 by UGL and included in work in hand are:
•
$594 million contract for the supply and maintenance of locomotives to Pacific National, extending existing maintenance
agreements to 30 June 2026;
$570 million contract for maintenance and asset management services, including the initial maintenance facility installation works
for New Intercity Fleet in New South Wales;
$250 million contract for the continued provision of long term maintenance support for the Australian Navy’s ANZAC Class ships;
$127 million contract to design and construct a water treatment plant for Melbourne Water in Victoria, in a joint venture with CPB

$100 million contract to engineer, procure and construct and operate and maintain the first phase of the Genex Solar project at
Kidston in North Queensland.
HLG WORK IN HAND
The Group’s share of HLG work in hand was $1.8 billion at 31 December 2016.
The major projects awarded to HLG Contracting in the period were:
•
$177 million contract to build the Gate Avenue commercial development at the DIFC Project in Dubai (CIMIC’s share approximately
$80 million); and
$215 million contract for the construction of the residential Al Mutahidah Towers in Qatar (CIMIC’s share approximately $97 million).

•
•
COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL WORK IN HAND
Commercial & residential work in hand was $724.2 million at 31 December 2016, a decrease of 49.3%, or $703.4 million. The decrease
reflects the sale of development properties during the period.
OPPORTUNITIES
There is a robust pipeline of infrastructure, mining and mineral processing, and services opportunities relevant to CIMIC of around $100
billion of tenders, relevant to CIMIC, have been identified for 2017, (of which 69% is in Australia and New Zealand), $55 billion is in
construction, $25 billion is in mining and $20 billion is in services. In the order of $250 billion of projects, relevant to CIMIC, have been
identified as coming to the market in 2018 and beyond, (of which 60% Australia and New Zealand), $165 billion is in construction, $45
billion is in mining and $40 billion is in services.
CIMIC, through CPB Contractors and Pacific Partnerships, has been shortlisted for several large projects including the Melbourne Metro
Rail Link in Victoria, the Sydney Metro – TSE (Tunnels and Station Excavation works) and selected projects under the Western Sydney
Roads Upgrade Program in New South Wales.
Parramatta Light Rail in New South Wales and Perth MAX Light Rail in Western Australia;
Canberra Hospital Redevelopment in the Australian Capital Territory;
Health infrastructure projects in New South Wales;
In addition, CIMIC is pursuing numerous major domestic and international infrastructure projects such as:
•
•
•
• Western package of the Outer Suburban Arterial Roads in Victoria (PPP);
• Metro Trains Melbourne operations and maintenance extension in Victoria;
•
Sydney Metro City and Southwest Augmentation in New South Wales;
•
Northern Island Prison in New Zealand (PPP);
•
Central Kowloon Route – Kai Tak West, T2 Foundation and Substructure Airport in Hong Kong; and
•
North-South Corridor – N105 in Singapore.
CIMIC expects to expand its mining and mineral processing activities into other markets, for example by exporting its contract mining
skills further into North and South America providing CIMIC with additional diversification by commodity. This strategy is reflected in the
recent mining services contract award in the Canadian oil sands.
The acquisition of UGL provides significant opportunities to extend its service capabilities across CIMIC’s complementary operations, in
existing and new markets. UGL remains well positioned to benefit from the strong growth expected in services opportunities across road
and rail infrastructure, oil and gas, defence, water and renewable energy.

In the markets where CIMIC operates, public and private clients continue to invest (including through PPP models), providing a robust
pipeline of projects and opportunities for CIMIC to contribute its financial strength, civil, mining, and mechanical, and electrical
engineering capabilities, and project and operational experience.
CONSTRUCTION MARKET
Australia’s 26-year run of GDP growth22 is expected to be maintained with 2% and 3% real growth forecast in FY16/17 and FY17/18
respectively. 23 This outlook, combined with robust population growth of 1% to 2%24 and the Australian Government’s continued delivery
on its 2013-2020 $50 billion road, rail and air transport infrastructure investment plan,25,26 underpin continued infrastructure investment.
Private sector financing of numerous major projects under PPP models complements such public infrastructure funding. Combined, these
factors support a good level of construction, operations and maintenance, and PPP opportunities for the Group.
Transport infrastructure, a core capability of the Group, has a particularly strong growth outlook driven by a forecast increase in
government expenditure and private sector funding.
The Australian Industry Group Construction Outlook Survey reported in November 2016 that: “The total value of turnover from all major
construction work is expected to recover by 4.6% in 2016/17. Engineering construction is expected to rise by 3.6% through the year ….
The value of infrastructure-related engineering work (a sub-set of engineering construction in this data) is expected to rise by 13.5%,
driven by strong growth in road (+17.9%) and rail (+16.1%) projects. This is in line with a range of large-scale Government transport
projects that are either underway or are in the pipeline.” 27
CIMIC’s international operations also have a positive outlook, offering growth opportunities in construction and, in the longer term,
operation and maintenance services.
PPP MARKET
Australia has one of the world’s most well-developed PPP markets, having procured numerous transport and social infrastructure PPP
projects over the past two decades in the road, rail, health, education, defence, justice, correctional, water, convention centre, social
housing and student accommodation sectors.
The current PPP market includes several large rail projects. PPP opportunities are continuing to emerge to deliver varying combinations of
design, construction, finance and operations and maintenance of track, stations, rolling stock, and rail systems.
There is also a stable pipeline of social infrastructure PPPs in terms of schools, prisons with scope to provide non-custodial services, and
hospitals. In the coming years there is also expected to be a return of some major road projects as PPPs. The recent wave of government
asset sales in New South Wales (i.e. the sale of the electricity assets) and in Victoria (i.e. the Port of Melbourne sale), mean these states
are in terms of the number of PPP projects coming to the markets.
Expected PPP projects in procurement during 2017 include:
Transport infrastructure:
• Melbourne Metro Rail in Victoria;

CIMIC Group Limited Annual Report 2016 | Operating and Financial Review
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OUTLOOK
In the markets where CIMIC operates, public and private clients continue to invest (including through PPP models), providing a robust
pipeline of projects and opportunities for CIMIC to contribute its financial strength, civil, mining, and mechanical, and electrical
engineering capabilities, and project and operational experience.
CONSTRUCTION MARKET
Australia’s 26-year run of GDP growth22 is expected to be maintained with 2% and 3% real growth forecast in FY16/17 and FY17/18
respectively. 23 This outlook, combined with robust population growth of 1% to 2%24 and the Australian Government’s continued delivery
on its 2013-2020 $50 billion road, rail and air transport infrastructure investment plan,25,26 underpin continued infrastructure investment.
Private sector financing of numerous major projects under PPP models complements such public infrastructure funding. Combined, these
factors support a good level of construction, operations and maintenance, and PPP opportunities for the Group.
Transport infrastructure, a core capability of the Group, has a particularly strong growth outlook driven by a forecast increase in
government expenditure and private sector funding.
The Australian Industry Group Construction Outlook Survey reported in November 2016 that: “The total value of turnover from all major
construction work is expected to recover by 4.6% in 2016/17. Engineering construction is expected to rise by 3.6% through the year ….
The value of infrastructure-related engineering work (a sub-set of engineering construction in this data) is expected to rise by 13.5%,
driven by strong growth in road (+17.9%) and rail (+16.1%) projects. This is in line with a range of large-scale Government transport
projects that are either underway or are in the pipeline.” 27
CIMIC’s international operations also have a positive outlook, offering growth opportunities in construction and, in the longer term,
operation and maintenance services.
PPP MARKET
Australia has one of the world’s most well-developed PPP markets, having procured numerous transport and social infrastructure PPP
projects over the past two decades in the road, rail, health, education, defence, justice, correctional, water, convention centre, social
housing and student accommodation sectors.
The current PPP market includes several large rail projects. PPP opportunities are continuing to emerge to deliver varying combinations of
design, construction, finance and operations and maintenance of track, stations, rolling stock, and rail systems.
There is also a stable pipeline of social infrastructure PPPs in terms of schools, prisons with scope to provide non-custodial services, and
hospitals. In the coming years there is also expected to be a return of some major road projects as PPPs. The recent wave of government
asset sales in New South Wales (i.e. the sale of the electricity assets) and in Victoria (i.e. the Port of Melbourne sale), mean these states
are in terms of the number of PPP projects coming to the markets.
Expected PPP projects in procurement during 2017 include:
Transport infrastructure:
• Melbourne Metro Rail in Victoria;
• Melbourne Outer Suburban Arterial Roads Network in Victoria;
•
•
Parramatta Light Rail Project in New South Wales; and
Canberra Light Rail - Stage 2 in Australian Capital Territory.
Social infrastructure expected to be procured in 2017 include:
•
•
Partnerships with Hospital Operators in New South Wales; and
New Western Australia Prison in Western Australia.

CIMIC Group Limited Annual Report 2016 | Operating and Financial Review
CIMIC Group Limited Annual Report 2016 | Remuneration Report
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OUTLOOK (CONTINUED)
MINING & MINERAL PROCESSING MARKET
The Australian Government’s Resources and Energy Quarterly reported in September 2016 that: “The outlook for Australia’s production
of bulk commodities remains generally positive, despite challenging conditions facing most producers. Production of iron ore is forecast
to grow over the next year … Metals production is largely expected to increase over the outlook period, led by growth in gold, copper and
alumina … the outlook for Australia’s energy commodities is mixed. LNG production is forecast to continue to increase in line with growth
in export capacity ...”28. The oil and gas sector is transitioning from construction into operations and maintenance, creating further
services opportunities.
Whilst there have been recent commodity price increases, uncertainty about price forecasts and price sustainability means the market for
mining and minerals processing remains challenging. However, the Group remains in a strong position to capitalise on opportunities as
they arise in the mining and minerals processing markets. Long-term client partnerships, the successful negotiation of contract extensions
and the Group’s competitive position provide confidence for the future. CIMIC plans to increase its market and commodity diversification
and is analysing several growth opportunities.
Investment levels in the mining market appear to be stabilising. The Reserve Bank of Australia notes “… the largest subtraction of mining
investment (net of imports) from GDP growth looks to have already occurred; the ABS (‘Australian Bureau of Statistics’) capital
expenditure (capex) survey of investment intentions and Bank liaison point to a smaller subtraction in 2016/17”29. The ABS survey points
to an expected capex spend of $39.9 billion for 2016-17, down from an actual spend of $53.4 billion in 2015-1630.
SERVICES MARKET
The size of the market for infrastructure maintenance services in Australia is estimated at $20.5 billion having grown by 6.6% per annum
during the past five years 31. Continuing investment in infrastructure development and an increase in the proportion of the Australian
market that is outsourced (currently around 50% which is low relative to other developed countries), is expected to result in
infrastructure maintenance services growth of 3.5% per annum until FY2231. The highest growth is projected for service providers that can
leverage systems, technologies and client relationships to implement best practice in service delivery.
The Australian Government’s Defence White Paper released in February 2016, indicates an increase in funding for maintenance of the
Defence Estate. Furthermore, substantial investment is expected to be made by the Australian Government in specialist defence
equipment (e.g. tanks, ships, aircraft) and supporting infrastructure over the medium to long term, which is expected to result in
increased demand for asset maintenance services.
Through its acquisition of UGL, CIMIC is well positioned to grow its services capabilities in existing and new markets by benefiting from
the Group’s complementary activities. As well, there is expected to be additional growth in services opportunities in the road and rail
infrastructure, oil and gas, water, defence and renewable energy markets.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
GROUP PROSPECTS
CIMIC is a leading provider of construction, mining and mineral processing, services, PPP and engineering in Australia and overseas. The
opportunities in these sectors provide the main longer-term drivers for the Group, particularly as governments in Australia-Pacific and
Asia roll out initiatives to address significant infrastructure deficits.
The Group remains focused on improving project delivery, with a clear focus on cash, profitability and sustainability, and on the
development of its PPP business. Also, the Group continues to analyse local merger and acquisition opportunities to support its
development and future growth.
The pipeline of infrastructure projects (many of which will be delivered through PPP models) remains high, underpinning demand for the
Group’s activities. In the short-term, the Group’s competitive position and work in hand provide a solid base for future revenue and
profitability.
While the opportunities in our existing markets will continue to be the primary drivers of demand for the Group, CIMIC continues to
consider opportunities to expand into new regions and markets, where it can leverage its existing capabilities.
GUIDANCE
2017 NPAT is expected to be within the range of $640 million to $700 million, subject to market conditions, an increase of 10% to 21% on
FY16.

The 2016 Financial Year.
Financial measures
80% of the amount that could be earned as STI was
based on performance against financial measures and
targets applicable to the relevant role.
For Senior Executives in 2016, this financial component
was based on NPAT and operating cash flow.
The financial measures are designed to encourage
Senior Executives to focus on the key financial
objectives of the Group consistent with the business
plan for the relevant year and the Group’s strategic
objectives.
Non-financial measures
20% of the amount that could be earned as STI
was based on performance against safety targets
and/or non-financial measures relevant to the
role.
The non-financial measures are designed to
encourage a direct relationship between the
measures set and the individual Senior
Executive’s role. They also ensure that
contributions to critical initiatives are recognised
and rewarded.
The STI is paid in cash following finalisation of the audited financial statements for the 2016 Financial Year.
Performance against financial and non-financial key performance indicators (KPIs) was assessed following
the end of the 2016 Financial Year to determine the actual STI payments. A scorecard-based calculation was
made and, the resulting STI amount adjusted, if required, following a qualitative assessment.
Notwithstanding any STI amount determined, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, on the
recommendation of the Executive Chairman, retains an overriding ability to adjust the STI amount before
payment taking into account all relevant circumstances.
STI outcomes for the 2016 Financial Year
STI payments for the 2016 Financial Year were determined based on Senior Executive performance against the applicable financial and
non-financial KPIs, as described above. In general, during the 2016 Financial Year, the Group focused on growth opportunities and
strategic acquisitions, most notably Sedgman and UGL.

REMUNERATION – Executive Chairman
POLICY AND APPROACH
The Board approves the Executive Chairman’s remuneration arrangements following consideration by the Remuneration and Nomination
Committee.
The Board considered Mr Fernández Verdes’ role as both CEO and Executive Chairman1 of CIMIC and CEO of HOCHTIEF AG and structured
his remuneration arrangements differently from other Senior Executives, but consistent with the Group’s remuneration framework and
focused on achieving long-term financial returns.
COMPONENTS
The key components of Mr Fernández Verdes’ remuneration are:
•
an annual allowance as a contribution to his living expenses. In accordance with the terms of his Executive Service Agreement (ESA),
effective 1 January 2017, the gross allowance payable increased from $522,132 to $528,920, representing an increase in line with the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 1.3%;
a one-off award of Share Appreciation Rights (SARs) in 2014; and
the payment of a discretionary bonus at any time during the course of employment following the variation to his ESA by the Board on
3 December 2016.
•
•
Mr Fernández Verdes receives remuneration from HOCHTIEF AG in consideration for his employment as HOCHTIEF AG CEO. Details of this
remuneration is available in the HOCHTIEF AG Annual Report at http://www.reports.hochtief.com.
Summary of one-off award to Mr Fernández Verdes
Mr Fernández Verdes was granted a one-off award of 1,200,000 SARs in 2014 in accordance with the terms of his ESA. As the SARs form
part of his remuneration, they are granted at no cost to him. The SARs do not carry any rights to dividends or voting.
The SARs entitle Mr Fernández Verdes to receive a cash payment reflecting the increase in value of the share price of CIMIC from a base
price of $17.71 (being the VWAP of fully paid ordinary shares in CIMIC traded on the ASX over the 30-day period before Mr Fernández
Verdes’ appointment as CEO1 on 13 March 2014) to the price at close of trading on the last trading day before the SAR is exercised, with a
maximum payment per SAR of $32.29.
The SARs vested in full on 13 March 2016 and are exercisable for 3 years from the date of vesting. No more than 40% of the SARs can be
exercised each year for the first 2 years after vesting, and any remaining SARs can be exercised in the final year of the exercise period. No
vested SARs have been exercised as at 31 December 2016.
The SARs will lapse on 13 March 2019 unless they have been exercised or forfeited before that date.
Mr Fernández Verdes would have forfeited any unvested or vested but unexercised SARs if he had ceased to be the CEO of CIMIC before
31 December 2014. Further, Mr Fernández Verdes will forfeit any unvested or vested but unexercised rights if he does not remain a
member of either the Executive Board or the Supervisory Board of HOCHTIEF AG for the period from appointment to 13 March 2017 or if
his employment is summarily terminated. If Mr Fernández Verdes had ceased employment with CIMIC prior to vesting but after 31
December 2014 in any other circumstance (ie, he was not summarily terminated) but remained a member of either the Executive Board
or the Supervisory Board of HOCHTIEF AG, any unvested SARs would have remained on foot and vested and become exercisable in the
ordinary course.
Details of the one-off award of SARs granted to Mr Fernández Verdes in the 2014 Financial Year are set out in the following table.

The fair value of the SARs is determined at the date of grant (in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based payment) and was re-evaluated on 31
December 2016. The amount included as remuneration expense in accordance with AASB 2 is not related to, or indicative of, the benefit (if any) that
Senior Executives may ultimately realise should the equity instruments vest.
The maximum potential value of the grant as at 31 December 2016 is calculated by deducting the exercise price ($17.71) from the closing share price
on 31 December 2016 ($34.94) and multiplying this by the proportion of SARs that were available to exercise at that date (40%).
The maximum potential value is calculated as the number of rights multiplied by the maximum payment per SAR ($32.29).
1 On 18 October 2016, Mr Valderas was appointed as CEO in place of Mr Fernández Verdes. Mr Fernández Verdes continues in his capacity as Executive
Chairman.

In recognition of the additional responsibilities and time commitment of Committee Chairs and members, additional fees are paid to
Directors for Committee membership.
Non-executive Directors do not receive shares, options or any performance-related incentives.
Superannuation is payable to Australian-based Directors in addition to Board and Committee fees.
remuneration is reviewed annually;
either party is able to terminate the ESA on 6 months’ notice;
there is no specified term;
there are no specified payments to be made to the Senior Executive on termination (apart from any payments in lieu of notice and
any payable statutory entitlements); and
a 6 month paid restraint period applies following termination.
The key standard terms of the ESAs for Senior Executives are:
•

•
•
The ESAs also specify the remuneration mix that applies to a Senior Executive’s remuneration package.
The entitlement of Senior Executives to unvested deferred STI and LTI awards on termination of their employment is dealt with under the
plan rules and the specific terms of grant.

SETTING NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
Remuneration for Non-executive Directors is designed to ensure that the Group can attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced
Directors. Fees are based on a comparison to the market for director fees in companies of a similar size and complexity.
In recognition of the additional responsibilities and time commitment of Committee Chairs and members, additional fees are paid to
Directors for Committee membership.
Non-executive Directors do not receive shares, options or any performance-related incentives.
Superannuation is payable to Australian-based Directors in addition to Board and Committee fees.

CIMIC Group Limited Annual Report 2016 | Sustainability Report
Sustainability Report
This sustainability section of the Annual Report is structured around our five sustainability commitments which are to:
•
•
•
provide safe communities and safe, supportive and positive workplaces for our people;
act with integrity - honestly and respectfully – in all relationships with the Group’s stakeholders;
develop a united and collaborative culture where engaged employees are aligned to achieve superior performance and integrate
governance, economic, environmental and social considerations into their roles;
seek competitive advantage by innovating to deliver construction, mining and services projects that satisfy the governance,
economic, environmental and social needs of clients; and
use resources efficiently, minimise waste and promote the delivery of energy efficient, environmentally and socially responsible
projects.
•
•
Our commitments are derived from, and based on, our principles – Integrity, Accountability, Innovation and Delivery – underpinned by
Safety. They provide a common unifying bond for our people and set the framework for the behaviours of our people. The Principles and
our commitments uphold our mission which is to maximise long-term value for shareholders by sustainably delivering projects for our
clients while providing safe, rewarding and fulfilling careers.
STRUCTURE OF THE SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
REPORTING APPROACH
CIMIC Group is committed to operating sustainably and reporting on our ESG performance and progress. This unaudited Sustainability
Report, integrated into our Annual Report, demonstrates both that commitment and how deeply embedded sustainability is in our
business.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2016, we have adopted a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards
framework for the preparation of this Sustainability Report. By doing so we aim to generate reliable, relevant and standardised
information with which our stakeholders can assess our opportunities and risks, and enable more informed decision-making – both within
the business and externally. The GRI index can be found on pages 81-84.
REPORT BOUNDARY AND SCOPE
This report is for the 12 month period to 31 December 2016, unless otherwise noted. The scope of this report covers CIMIC Group Limited
and its 100% controlled operations which include, amongst others:
•
•
•
•
CPB Contractors (formerly Leighton Contractors, with the name change effective from 4 January 2016);
Leighton Asia, including Leighton India and Leighton Offshore;
Thiess;
Sedgman (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company since 13 April 2016. Data has been included where available, and for the ease
and comparability of sustainability reporting, for the half year from 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2016);
Pacific Partnerships;
EIC Activities; and
Leighton Properties.
•
•
•
Devine: CIMIC owns a 59.11% stake in the listed property development company;
Ventia: CIMIC holds 46.96% of an investment partnership for the merged services business of CPB Contractors and Thiess;
HLG Contracting: CIMIC holds a 45.0% share in the Middle East-based construction company; and
The scope of this report does not include the operations of CIMIC Group’s investments where CIMIC Group does not have 100%
ownership, namely (as at 31 December 2016):
•
•
•
• Macmahon: CIMIC owns a 20.54% stake (as at 31 December 2016) in the listed mining contracting company.
This report also does not cover the operations of UGL which was subject to a takeover by CIMIC during late 2016. UGL’s sustainability
performance will be covered in future CIMIC Sustainability Reports now that CIMIC has integrated UGL.
AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION
In 2014, the Group commenced a significant operational transformation, establishing dedicated, streamlined and efficient businesses
focused on construction (CPB Contractors and Leighton Asia), contract mining services (Thiess), public private partnerships (Pacific
Partnerships), and engineering (EIC Activities). Given this transformation, a number of comparable operational safety and environmental
performance measures are not available prior to the 2015 year. Where comparable data is available, it has been provided. In future
reports, the Group expects to be able to provide more detailed operational performance measures by Operating Company.
EXTERNAL ASSURANCE
This report, prepared using the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, has not been externally assured. It is our intention over the next
few years to continually improve our disclosure and engagement so as to achieve fully compliant GRI reporting.

3 As of 31 December 2014 the numbers of employees including the discontinued operations of JHG and Ventia was 45,214. See note below.
4 For the purposes of environmental, safety and other ratios based on people numbers or hours, the base is 28,535 employees which excludes UGL as of 31
Dec 2016 as the Group did not have control during the year and does not report UGL’s operating performance.

6 Total employees includes both direct employees of CIMIC Group and a proportion of the headcount of indirect employees from investments as follows:
Australia and 22,859 in the Group’s international operations.
HLG Contracting (45%) and Ventia (50%) as at 31 December, 2016.
7 Total personnel costs divided by the total number of direct employees. For 2014, the ratio is based on continuing operations and total employees of
36,512. Ratio is distorted because it includes redundancy cost and most of the redundancies occurred in the second half of the year, thereby inflating the
ratio. For 2013, ratio is based on continuing operations, restated to match 2014.
8 Given that a large proportion of the workforce is hired on a project basis, overall employee turnover rates are not an effective method to measure staff
retention. Therefore, turnover rates including only permanently employed staff has been provided.
9 CIMIC had one female Director until 10 November 2016.
10 Includes Indigenous employees of JHG and Services until 2014.

MATERIAL ISSUES
DEFINING MATERIAL ISSUES
In November 2016, CIMIC again undertook a materiality assessment to identify and confirm the important potential economic,
environmental, social and governance issues that could affect the business, both positively and negatively. The process built on the
assessment undertaken in the prior year and involved a series of interviews with senior management from across the Group and ESG
analysts at broking firms, an assessment of media reports about the Group, reviews of client sustainability reports, and reference to
recent sustainability reporting submissions such as the DJSI and CDP.
The topics and themes identified from these sources were then used to develop a shortlist of 39 potential material issues which formed
the basis of a web-facilitated survey. The survey was then sent to a selection of stakeholders identified through our strategic plans and in
consultation with our Operating Companies. These included:
• Senior managers from across the Group and employees with operational responsibility for sustainability-related functions;
• ESG and equity analysts providing broking coverage of the Group; and
• Managers representing the Group’s major equity investors and financiers.
It is our intention to extend our engagement to other stakeholders as we progress on the sustainability journey. A desktop review of our
major client’s sustainability issues was also undertaken and cross-checked against the results.
Respondents were asked to prioritise the 39 identified potential material issues which were structured using GRI Guidelines (Economic,
Governance, Environmental and Social - including labour practices, human rights, society, product responsibility) to rank, on a five point
scale, their:
•
•
importance in their assessment of, and decision regarding, CIMIC Group; and
current or potential impact in terms of revenue, costs, investments or risk, on the medium and long-term success of the CIMIC Group.
The 39 identified material issues, and their ranking in terms of both importance and impact, were:
Material issues and their ranking
Ensuring the safety of the public while delivering projects
Avoidance of all forms of bribery and corruption including facilitation payments
Ensuring legal compliance with all environmental regulations and avoiding reputational liabilities

OUR APPROACH
Safety underpins everything we do. A business that depends on its people must provide a safe and healthy workplace. CIMIC Group
creates a safe and healthy workplace by performing work safely, encouraging workers to identify and fix workplace hazards, and by
promoting mental health and physical health to our workers.
CIMIC Group promotes, across all of its Operating Companies, a culture of sharing safety innovation, best practices and learning. The
Group is committed to driving safety through simplification of safety systems, and the identification and elimination of Class One Risks
through the creation of evidence-based lead indicators that drive key safety behaviours and outcomes.
The Group recognises that each of its Operating Companies is best placed to identify and control the hazards and risks associated with
that Operating Company. CIMIC supports the Operating Companies through integrated reporting at the CIMIC Group level and to the
CIMIC Board’s Ethics, Compliance and Sustainability Committee.
Our projects aim to integrate hazard identification and risk assessment into the design process with the aim of eliminating or minimising
risk of injury throughout the life of the asset (considering construction, testing and commissioning, operations and maintenance, and
decommissioning and demolition). Every project is required to have a Safety and Health Management Plan that is integrated with the
Group’s management systems.
The Group’s approach is that we take responsibility for everyone on our projects – employees, sub-contractors or visitors. We treat all
workers on our sites equally, irrespective of their role. CIMIC and its Operating Companies recognise that all workers on site are in our

FATALITIES AND CLASS 1 INJURIES
The Group is deeply saddened by the death of three of its workers in 2016: the first in February at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital
Project, being constructed by a joint venture including CPB Contractors; the second, in June, related to an incident at our Thiess Sangatta
Mine in Indonesia; and the third, in November, at Leighton Asia’s Liantang/Hueny Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point project in New

The Board and management extend their deepest condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of the deceased. The project teams
have been working with the relevant authorities and detailed investigations have been initiated to establish the causes of these tragic
events.
There were no other Class 1 Injuries (C1I) within the Group during 2016.
OTHER INJURIES
The Group records the number of Lost Time Injuries (LTI’s)23 which are industry-recognised metrics and the Lost Time Injury Frequency
Rate (LTIFR)24 is used as a lag indicator of injury prevention performance. In 2016, the Group’ LTIFR slightly increased by 0.08 to 1.00 from
0.92.

The Group’s preferred lag measure of injuries is Total Recordable Injuries (TRI)25. The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR)26,
which captures LTIs, Medically Treated Injuries (MTIs) and Restricted Work Injures (RWIs), provides a higher level and captures a wider
range of injuries, which impact our workers. The Group’s performance in 2016 was 2.7, down from 3.2 in 2015, a 16% reduction. The

LEAD INDICATORS
The Group uses lead indicators of safety performance to identify and help prioritise where effort is needed in order to reduce the
potential for injury to people. Lead indicators, used in this way, become important tools for risk avoidance and minimisation across any
business.
A key lead indicator that the Group measures is identifying and investigating Potential Class 1 injuries (PC1). A PC1 is an incident that may
have resulted in a fatality or a permanent disabling injury. The number of PC1 injuries reduced from 192 in 2015 to 97 in 2016.

SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION
Consistent with CIMIC’s approach to safety, each of our Operating Companies have safety management systems that, while similar in
their approach, are tailored to meet each individual Operating Companies’ risks and hazards.
The Group is continuing to streamline reporting through the implementation of a common safety system. The benefits of having uniform
reporting, definitions and standards across the Operating Companies will assist us in the identification and roll-out of best practice and to
share safety information more efficiently across the Group.

CPB Contractors’ Safety Essentials are a collection of minimum requirements that are focused on providing projects with the rules, tools
and knowledge to manage activities that pose the greatest risk to our people. The Safety Essentials cover activities such as:
• Electrical work – managing the risk of electric shock;
Live services – risk of working with live services such as power, electricity, gas, water and petroleum;
Live traffic – where there is a risk of being struck by live traffic, or project activities impacting on passing vehicles or pedestrians;
• Mobile cranes and lifting operations – when working with mobile plant that is used to lift, suspend and/or carry, and lower a load;
• Mobile plant – where the public or workers risk being struck by operating mobile plant; and
• Working at heights – where there is a risk of a worker falling or an object falling from height.
Originally launched in 2010, the Safety Essentials were refreshed and reinvigorated in 2015/2016 after a period of extensive review and
consultation with project staff.
As a result of the fatality at the New Royal Adelaide Hospital, CPB Contractors has begun investigating a secondary guarding system (SGS)
that can be fitted to an elevated work platform (EWP - scissor lift). The proposed SGS utilises sonic technology (or radio waves) that are
integrated into the controls of the scissor lift. When the EWP approaches a hard object it will automatically reduce the speed of operation
of the EWP, therefore eliminating most of the risk of being caught between the EWP and the hard object. CPB Contractors is confident
that its initiative will be able to be successfully transferred to the industry so as to improve safety standards on other construction
projects.
In Australia, due to the outdoor nature of construction and construction activity, employees are susceptible to skin cancer. CIMIC has
worked with and supported the Cancer Council of Australia to promote sun awareness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The Group also
provides personal protective equipment to reduce the risk including long sleeve shirts, broad-brimmed hats and safety-rated sun glasses.
Our Leighton Asia business has developed a series of Class One Practices (COPs). Similar in nature to the CPB Safety Essentials, the COPs
cover the high risk activities carried out at project sites, such as:
• Working at heights – risks associated with working at heights including falling objects and working above the ground;
Lifting operations – risks associated with crane operations, safe working loads and rigging requirements;
Isolation and hazardous energies – risks associated with electricity, chemicals, kinetic energy and mechanical energy;
• Vehicle and mobile plant movement – risks associated with the interactions between workers and plant and between plant; and
• Temporary works – risks associated with temporary works such as form work and scaffolding.
COPs build on the application of minimum standards and set best practice for controlling safety hazards and risks associated within
Leighton Asia. Leighton Asia’s ‘Strive for L.I.F.E’ initiatives, such as the Strive for L.I.F.E training centres, reinforce COPs. Since opening in
2010, 95,452 Leighton Asia employees have been trained through the Strive for L.I.F.E. training centres.
SAFETY IN MINING AND MINERALS PROCESSING
Thiess’ Safety Essentials describe clear minimum requirements for high risk activities in mining and are mandatory for all Thiess sites.
They comprise non-negotiable critical controls and core procedures, and are produced in English, Spanish, Bahasa (Indonesian) and
Mongolian. The Safety Essentials globally cover higher risk activities such as:
• Explosives – for the safe transportation, use, security and disposal of explosives;
• Geotechnical – to ensure ground movement is managed;
• Heights – for working safely at heights;
Isolation – to ensure energy sources are identified and positively isolated;
Lifting – to work safely with cranes and other lifting equipment;
maintained; and
• Tyres – for working safely with tyres and tyre handling equipment.
• Traffic – for the safe operation and interaction of all vehicles on site and to ensure infrastructure is designed, constructed and
In 2016, Thiess added the Geotechnical Safety Essential which highlights the critical controls necessary to deal with geotechnical hazards
and risks such as rock-falls, rock-bursts, and slope failures.
Thiess has continued to reduce injury rates through the development of lead indicators that drive the behaviours aimed at reducing
hazards and incidents through the proactive identification of those hazards and risks. Thiess has set a target that 60% of all actions taken
to treat or eliminate hazards should arise out of proactive activities such as audits, workplace inspections and observations. The other
40% of actions taken are reactive, arising as a consequence of safety incidents. This approach aims to reduce hazards before they can
result in an injury.
23 An occurrence that resulted in a fatality, permanent disability or time lost from work of one day/shift or more. While the criteria for LTIs vary across
industries, essentially any injury that results in the injured employee losing one shift is generally regarded as an LTI.

The Sedgman ‘Critical Controls’ were rolled out in 2016. These describe clear minimum requirements for high risk activities and are
mandatory for all Sedgman sites. Sedgman’s Critical Controls cover the following material risk activities:
of drugs and alcohol, and sleep and mental health issues. This broad approach acknowledges the interconnected nature of physical and
mental health. These ‘Fit for Work + Fit for Life’ initiatives are an essential element in achieving safe and productive workplaces and will

• Excavations
• Hot work activities
• Working in hot or cold environments
• Hazardous substances
• Working on or entering a stockpile
• Working over or adjacent to water
Critical Controls include measures to ensure safe processes/systems and safe operating practices are in place, and that they are
integrated into model procedures. Sedgman is committed to the principles of Safety in Design, and the safe design process uses HAZOP
workshops, among other tools, to ensure potential hazards are identified and addressed at the design stage.
Sedgman undertakes monthly HSE Campaigns, providing posters and supporting materials to all sites. A ‘Stop to Spot’ campaign was
launched in early 2016, to highlight the importance of identifying hazards in any task and being prepared for change. In the second half of
2016, Sedgman launched the ‘I’m Committed’ campaign, which focussed on individual commitments to safety and putting them into
action, both at work and at home.
WORKPLACE HEALTH INITIATIVES
In June 2016, CIMIC launched the ‘Fit for work + Fit for life’ initiative, building on our principles and addressing the prevalence of mental
health issues in construction and mining industries. ‘Fit for work + Fit for life’ is about promoting the steps all employees can take to
achieve or maintain their physical and mental health, to avoid or better manage both physical and mental health conditions such as
fatigue, depression and anxiety, and to provide care and support for ourselves and others.

The Group takes great care to protect the health and safety of its clients and the public which can include passing motorists, passengers
Infrastructure and building projects are being developed in densely populated urban areas. Safety is incorporated into design and results
in the installation of prevention measures such as safety and crash barriers, as well as road or rail closures if necessary. Engineering
solutions include variable speed signs, auto flaggers, barrier guards and truck mounted attenuators.
On the Transmission Gully project in New Zealand, CPB Contractors and HEB Construction (the CPB HEB JV) put in place traffic
management systems to support safety around a number of additional site access points along State Highway 1. Concrete barriers are
being used to provide additional protection, dedicated paths behind concrete barriers are being constructed alongside the roadway in
both directions to provide safe passage for cyclists and any pedestrians past the work zone, and the speed limit has been reduced at all of
the project site access points to minimise any potential conflicts between construction vehicles and the travelling public.
All projects prepare and maintain emergency management plans, which allow for effective responses to health and safety emergencies
and crises on projects, should they occur. The Group maintains a ‘Group Crisis Management Plan’ which coordinates any Group crisis
response, and ensures appropriate Group capabilities are in place to respond if required.
During 2016, with the exception of the three fatalities, there were no material incidents of non-compliance with regulations and/or

OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PLANS
We are committed to our people returning home safely at the end of a day’s work. In 2017, we plan to:
•
focus on reducing the occurrence of C1I and PC1 Injuries through:
ensuring each past incident is effectively investigated;
putting in place engineering controls to ensure that similar incidents do not occur across the Group; and
reviewing the controls put in place in response to C1I and PC1 Injuries to measure their effectiveness;
continue to drive down our TRIFR and LTIFR;
consolidate and simplify our safety systems across the CIMIC Group; and
• develop and improve on evidence-based lead indicators.
‘Fit for work + Fit for life’:
• builds awareness of mental health in our workplace;
•
• builds employee resilience through promoting physical health which supports mental health; and
•
Across the Group in 2016, activities have included: executive briefings with beyondblue, one of Australia’s leading mental health support
specialists; Australian managers training in physical and mental health protective factors; peer support training; and promoting
campaigns such as R U OK and White Ribbon Day.
Awareness of the importance of mental health and suicide prevention is growing across the construction sector with the help of specialist
organisations such as Mates in Construction (MIC). A 2016 health and well-being initiative has seen the introduction of MIC suicide
prevention training program across CPB Contractors’ sites and offices. CPB Contractors has implemented MIC training in four states
where MIC operates (NSW, QLD, WA and SA) and is working with a similar provider to deliver comparable training in other states.
CPB Contractors has also made additional MIC training available to employees who volunteer to be a MIC Connector or ASSIST worker. A
Connector is trained to keep someone needing help safe and to connect them to professional support. ASSIST workers can be compared
to a first aid officer; they are trained to listen and talk to someone contemplating suicide, and to help them develop a plan to maintain life
and keep safe. Crew members, leading hands, supervisors and managers have volunteered for the additional training and we now have a
strong network of Connectors and ASSIST workers across shifts and the rest and recuperation cycle. Awareness is maintained with
reminder tool box talks and refresher MIC training was undertaken during the year, and will continue to be provided. This initiative fits
well with other elements of the Group’s Health, Safety and Wellbeing strategy including a very active approach to injury management,
fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) inductions and on-site health programs.
Sedgman’s health initiatives focus on ensuring our people are mentally and physically healthy to ensure they are at their best to enjoy life
at or outside work. Some of Sedgman’s key health initiatives are the Online Health Assessment, Step Team Challenge, Group Activity
Classes, Better Sleep Program, Flu Shots, Know Your Number – Resilience, and Skin Checks. Other supporting initiatives are the launch of
their next campaign ‘Be in Game’ which will focus on themes such as Staying Alert, Bring Your Own Game, Resilience and Bouncing Back,
and the Sedgman Team Spirit.
In 2016, a visible commitment was made to the health and wellbeing of people at Thiess' Safety Summit. This included the launch of
Thiess’ Health and Wellbeing Framework. The Framework encompasses the four pillars of: health protection; promotion; monitoring; and
intervention. One of the key activities that followed the Summit was the development of Health and Hygiene Risk Assessments. The
outcome of these risk assessments will assist to ensure Thiess provides multi-faceted programs that address the four pillars of their
Framework, while continuing to educate people in the risks and protective factors.
Thiess has also maintained a focus on ensuring teams are ‘Fit for work + Fit for life’ by encouraging projects to implement wellness
programs. This has included promotion, monitoring and intervention programs targeting personal health and lifestyle factors, the impact

management systems to support safety around a number of additional site access points along State Highway 1. Concrete barriers are
being used to provide additional protection, dedicated paths behind concrete barriers are being constructed alongside the roadway in
both directions to provide safe passage for cyclists and any pedestrians past the work zone, and the speed limit has been reduced at all of
the project site access points to minimise any potential conflicts between construction vehicles and the travelling public.
All projects prepare and maintain emergency management plans, which allow for effective responses to health and safety emergencies
and crises on projects, should they occur. The Group maintains a ‘Group Crisis Management Plan’ which coordinates any Group crisis
response, and ensures appropriate Group capabilities are in place to respond if required.
COMPLIANCE
During 2016, with the exception of the three fatalities, there were no material incidents of non-compliance with regulations and/or
voluntary codes.
OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PLANS
We are committed to our people returning home safely at the end of a day’s work. In 2017, we plan to:
•
focus on reducing the occurrence of C1I and PC1 Injuries through:
ensuring each past incident is effectively investigated;
putting in place engineering controls to ensure that similar incidents do not occur across the Group; and
reviewing the controls put in place in response to C1I and PC1 Injuries to measure their effectiveness;
continue to drive down our TRIFR and LTIFR;
consolidate and simplify our safety systems across the CIMIC Group; and
•
•
• develop and improve on evidence-based lead indicators.

OUR APPROACH
We expect our people to act with integrity - honestly and respectfully – with their colleagues, and in all relationships with the Group’s
stakeholders including our clients, suppliers, shareholders and the community.
The Group Code of Conduct sets the foundation for the way we work every day. It is important for each employee – as an individual - and
unites us as one company. The Code is underpinned by our principles of Integrity, Accountability, Innovation and Delivery, and outlines
the standards of behaviour we expect, regardless of Operating Company, role or location. This Code applies to CIMIC directors and all
employees of the Group, and all alliances and joint ventures in all jurisdictions. The Group seeks to have third parties engaged by the
Group agree to abide by their own code (containing equivalent standards of behaviour) or, if they do not have one, the Group Code.
Where the Code or a policy sets higher standards of behaviour than local laws, rules, customs or norms, the higher standards will apply.
The Code provides a framework, but cannot describe every situation, law or policy that may apply. We expect our people to exercise
good judgement, justify their actions, and try to prevent any potential breaches.
We refreshed the Code of Conduct in 2016 to make it easier to read and deployed new online training to employees at the end of the
year. The Code of Conduct training has been translated into local languages to reflect the communities in which we operate.
AVOIDING BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
The Group prohibits, and has zero tolerance for, all forms of bribery and corruption. Our people must obey all relevant laws and
regulations, and must not participate in any arrangement which gives any person an improper benefit or an unfair advantage to any
party, directly or through an intermediary. This includes facilitation payments (payments of cash or in kind made to secure or expedite a
routine service, or to ‘facilitate’ a routine Government action), even if allowed under local laws or customs.

Prevention of bribery and corruption relies on the following key factors:
• promotion of, and adherence to, an ethical culture of integrity and accountability;
• management accountability;
• effective employee recruitment procedures;
• on-going training and awareness and enforcement;
carrying out periodic risk assessments; and
strong internal control systems which includes a robust whistleblower regime.

•
which:
and

identifies roles, responsibilities and obligations of leadership and employee groups;
• prescribes training requirements of various roles in the Group; and
• details related processes, including:
obligations of employees and managers in reporting a concern about a suspected breach of the Code;
confirming protection available to whistleblowers;
outlining investigation processes for an alleged breach of the Code – ensuring it is confidential, objective, independent and fair;
setting out key contacts and details.
Subcontractors and other third parties the Group works with can make a significant contribution to our success. The Group will only do
business with third parties for legitimate purposes, in accordance with the Code, relevant laws and where that business relationship will
benefit the Group. Third parties are entities and individuals outside of CIMIC Group and may include clients, joint venture partners,
subcontractors, consultants and suppliers, agents or intermediaries (as defined by our Dealing with Third Parties Policy).
The Group will not do business with a third party that does not share a similar approach to the Group in relation to ethical matters, or
where engaging with the third party will harm the reputation of the Group. We aim to have effective business relationships with
subcontractors and other third parties, and to encourage them to adopt similar business principles, practices and procedures to those of
the Group. Group employees must ensure that any third party understands the Group’s expectations and the Code.
When the Group has a controlling position in a joint venture or similar arrangement, the Code (or another code containing equivalent
standards of behaviour) must be adopted for the joint venture or other arrangement. In other circumstances, the Group will remain
bound by the Code and will seek to have partners adopt the Code.
Before entering into a commercial relationship with a third party on behalf of the Group, appropriate due diligence must be conducted in
accordance with the Dealing with Third Parties Procedure and all contracts must be approved in accordance with the Group Delegations

Where either the Third Party Anti-Bribery and Corruption Declaration or the integrity checks are not to the satisfaction of the approving
manager, further enquires must be made. These could include:
• enquiries of the third party about the specific concerns; and
• detailed due diligence by an approved specialist due diligence provider (e.g. Thomson Reuters or Control Risks).
27 The Dealing With Third Parties Procedure has a detailed definition for ‘High Risk’ which includes but is not limited to: if it is a potential/new joint venture
partner; it is an agent and/or intermediary (which includes legal, tax, immigration, financial, security and industrial relations advisers, lobbyists, customs
and shipping agents); it is nominated or recommended by a public official or other representative of a government or state-owned enterprise; it is an
individual (rather than a company or partnership), other than permanent or contract employees; the engagement relates directly to a project for a
government or state-owned enterprise in any country which has a ranking of 80 or higher in the most recent Corruption Perceptions Index (as published
from time to time by Transparency International) such as Mongolia, India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Papua New

The Group does not enter into any agreements in relation to services such as lobbying, facilitating client relationships, relationship
management, strategic advice, or other stakeholder management services which may directly or indirectly influence decision makers
considering any bid for work.
The Group has a Privacy Policy which applies to all employees of the Group, third parties engaged by the Group, and all alliances and joint

COMMUNICATION AND TRAINING
CIMIC Group Code of Conduct training is completed by employees within 3 months of commencing within the Group and then repeated
every two years. Training includes online training for white collar workers, toolbox talks for blue collar workers, and face-to-face training
for high risk roles. In 2016, we required employees to acknowledge that they had read the refreshed Group Code of Conduct. In
December 2016, we deployed the online training for the refreshed Group Code of Conduct. Training completion (by employee numbers)

MONITORING AND WHISTLEBLOWERS
CIMIC provides the ‘Ethics Line’, a confidential way for employees, sub-contractors and partners to voice their concerns should they come
across potentially unethical practices. In 2016, we appointed a new provider and promoted the Ethics Line across the Group, including
our projects.
The Ethics Line is an independent service operated by STOPline Pty Ltd, a leading provider of disclosure management services. It is a 24
hours-a-day, seven days-a-week service staffed by highly trained consultants who are able to access a comprehensive interpreter service
covering all the regions where we operate and the languages our people speak. All reports made to the Ethics Line are treated
confidentially. Matters can be reported to the Ethics Line via phone, fax, on-line, by email or post.
CIMIC and each Operating Company maintain a Reportable Conduct Group, with membership comprising the CEO or Managing Director,
CFO, General Counsel, and Head of Human Resources, or as otherwise determined by the CEO. Its responsibilities include monitoring and
responding appropriately to matters investigated and brought before it, and reporting to the CIMIC Board Ethics, Compliance &
Sustainability Committee (ECSC), a sub-committee of the CIMIC Board, on a regular basis about matters reported, actions taken, and the
success or otherwise of systems in place to support compliance with the Code. The Group monitors the volume and type of disclosures
received through the Ethics Line. Any complaints that are received are dealt with in accordance with the Code.
The ECSC, on behalf of the Board, monitors and reviews the ethical standards and practices generally within the Group, compliance with
the Code, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The ECSC receives quarterly reporting at a high level on the
nature of all calls to the Ethics Line. Any serious matters are also reported to the ECSC.
In 2016, the nature of the calls to the Ethics Line were as follows:

Of the matters reported in 2016, two were considered substantive enough to be reported to the Reportable Conduct Group for further
investigation. Both related to allegations regarding training processes and have been dealt with internally.
DISCLOSURE AND PRIVACY
Listed companies, such as CIMIC, must comply with the continuous disclosure obligations in the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations
Act. This is also essential for the maintenance of shareholder confidence and market trust.
A Market Disclosure and Communications Framework is in place and the Group has supporting procedures for the gathering and release
of information to the ASX. Our corporate governance processes are continuously reviewed to ensure compliance with changes to the
Corporations Act and other legislation that affects the Group’s operations.

The Group is committed to the principles of free and fair competition as reflected in our Code of Conduct. The Group will always compete
vigorously but fairly, and comply with all applicable competition laws. The Group will also comply with all applicable national and
international laws, regulations and restrictions relating to the movement of materials, goods and services.
In 2016, there were no significant fines or non-monetary sanctions for breaches of laws or regulations related to anti-competitive
conduct, marketing communications, or other matters of non-compliance.
No legal actions were commenced or are outstanding with respect to anti-competitive, anti-trust or monopoly behaviour. There were no
instances of significant fines or sanctions for non-compliance with Australian and international laws and regulations during the year.28
The Group does not sell banned or disputed products.
SUPPLY CHAIN AND LOCAL SUPPLIERS
Our Operating Companies aim to build sustainable supply chains, relevant to their focused businesses. The major elements of the Group’s
supply chain are materials (concrete, steel, and asphalt), plant and equipment, and fuel and sub-contractors (such as electricians,
plumbers, glaziers, steel fixers and other tradespeople). We seek to minimise the impact of our construction materials such as steel,
timber and concrete by working with our suppliers to identify measures to improve the efficient use of these resources. Measures
identified include: providing financial incentives for subcontractors to reduce wastage of reinforcing steel (rebar), cabling and pipes;
reusing inert waste and secondary aggregate as backfill on projects; and redeployment of concrete waste to build temporary road
structures, hard stands and precast concrete road barriers, amongst other things.
In 2016, CIMIC launched its Group Procurement Policy which applies to all project related and corporate procurement of CIMIC Group
globally, including joint ventures. The new Policy aligns with our Code of Conduct and will play a key role in supporting project delivery,
cost control, sustainability and financial performance. Suppliers are assessed against relevant performance dimensions: compliance with
health, safety and labour standards (15%), compliance with sustainability/ environmental regulations (15%), quality (15%), schedule
compliance (15%), technical assistance (10%), responsiveness (10%), contract terms and conditions (10%), quality certificates (5%),
withholdings and warranties (5%).
All suppliers must comply with the Dealing with Third Parties Procedure referred to above. The Procedure aims to avoid dealing with third
parties who do not share a similar approach to the Group in relation to ethical matters, including supply related matters.
Locally sourced goods and services support local employment, boost regional economic growth and create upskilling opportunities. In
some cases, purchasing locally made products and services can minimise transport costs and reduce fuel consumption and associated
greenhouse gas emissions.
For example, on the Transmission Gully project in New Zealand, the CPB HEB JV is a founding member of the Porirua Youth2Work
program and has pledged to inspire local youth into careers in the construction industry. The CPB HEB JV is recruiting around 100 local
labourers and 100 plant machinery operators as the project gears up for the first season of major earthworks.
CPB Contractors also completed the construction of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) new National Football Stadium in Port Moresby,
redeveloping an existing playing field to create a 15,000 seat venue to host rugby league and the 2016 Pacific Games. The project
featured 88% involvement of PNG-based companies and a national workforce involvement rate of 90%. Practical completion was
achieved 24 days ahead of schedule with no LTIs and a TRIFR of 1.51.
28 CIMIC is continuing to cooperate with the relevant authorities regarding an alleged breach of the Code by employees within the Leighton International
business prior to 2012 that, if substantiated, may have contravened Australian laws. This matter was self-reported to the Australian Federal Police and
CIMIC does not know when the investigations will be concluded.

TAX POLICY
The Group is committed to managing all taxes in a sustainable manner with regard to the commercial and social imperatives of our
business and stakeholders. The Group does not undertake purely tax driven transactions. Specifically, no innovative or aggressive tax
planning transaction is undertaken and all transactions must have a legitimate business purpose.
received sound and speech therapy enabling him to overcome his disability and participate in the hearing world. Through Thiess’ support
and assistance, funds were also raised at the Gala Ball enabling the centre’s vital programs and initiatives to continue in 2017. From
humble beginnings to present day, Thiess has been an important part of the centre’s 25 year success, and in 2017 the relationship will see
the hearing screening program delivered to regional Queensland mining communities.
In 2016, the Group’s effective tax rate was 25.4%, compared to the Australian corporate tax rate of 30%, primarily due to refunds of
overpaid income taxes relating to divestment activity that took place in 2014. Our performance over the past four years is laid out in the
‘Measuring our performance’ table in this Sustainability Report. Despite the drop in rate in 2016, the Group continued to maintain an
average effective tax rate of 30% over the last three years. Based on Australian Taxation Office reported figures, for the 2014/15 year29,
CIMIC ranked 13th in respect of the amount of tax payable by Australian public and foreign-owned corporate tax entities.
CIMIC understands that corporate tax payable by the Group provides important contributions to the financing of government services
and programs, and the provision of important infrastructure. In addition, the Group is a substantial generator of payroll tax, as well as
excise and stamp duty, which also contributes to government revenue.
CIMIC does not receive significant financial aid from governments, apart from standard tax relief measures that are available to similar
businesses in the jurisdictions where CIMIC operates such as the Australian Government’s Research and Development tax incentives or
accelerated depreciation allowances30.
POLITICAL DONATIONS
In keeping with the Code, the Group did not make any donations, either in kind or directly, to political organisations, political parties,
politicians, or trade unions in 2015 or 2016.
LOCAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The objectives of the Group’s Sustainability Policy, issued in 2016, include amongst other things, encouraging initiatives and successfully
delivering projects that meet client expectations, provide value for money, and leave net positive legacies for CIMIC Group, our clients,
users, the environment and communities. We work with relevant community stakeholders, especially those most affected by our
operations, and seek to identify and address their concerns and expectations. Each Operating Company has its own community
engagement policy and framework. We also incorporate a Stakeholder Engagement Plan in the planning process for each project, which
includes the recording and tracking of the management in relation to community concerns.
From time-to-time our construction activities may impinge on local communities as we deliver infrastructure projects for our clients.
When they do, we try to minimise the impact of our activities by engaging proactively, being approachable and developing positive
relationships with community members. We understand that communities may be concerned about the potential impact of traffic, noise,
dust, access changes, the siting of new infrastructure (i.e. tunnel vents or noise walls) or even the resumption of property. Generally
these impacts are the outcome of decisions made by our clients. However, our Operating Companies will seek to minimise these impacts
as far as possible and to carry out the work in a proactive, approachable, empathetic and positive way.
The Group has not identified any incidents of violations involving the rights of Indigenous peoples during the reporting period.
COMMUNITY INVESTMENT
Our objectives are to deliver shared value for the community and CIMIC Group. For the community, our initiatives should make a
tangible, genuine and lasting improvement to the quality of people’s lives.
The Group may support local community groups and charities through sponsorships and donations that are legal, ethical and further the
interests of the Group, and have mutual benefit to the community or broader society and CIMIC Group. During the 2016 Financial Year,
the Group directly gave more than $0.34 million to the community through partnerships, sponsorships, donations and workplace giving.
Our people are also encouraged to fundraise and volunteer to help create sustainable communities.

for 2016. This support enables CQ Rescue to continue to provide world class aero-medical and emergency rescue services 24/7 and 365
days of the year to all residents, workers and visitors in and around Central Queensland. Sponsorship of these critical emergency service
providers ensured the Group’s mining related sites and mining communities in the Bowen and Callide Basins were covered for any
eventuality. This year saw an increase in the number of rescues across the region; through Thiess’ support CQ Rescue was able to service
these requests and save lives. Support also extended to individual site participation in CQ Rescue activities, sponsoring signature
fundraising events, and coordinating T-shirt drives which raised additional funds. In 2017, the ongoing relationship with CQ Rescue will
see Thiess as a key sponsor of pilot and paramedic training; all vital requirements to enable ongoing day and night time rescues.
Thiess’ 21 year partnership with Hear and Say has changed the lives of thousands of Queensland children with a hearing impairment. In
2016, Thiess continued its support of Hear and Say by sponsoring the Child Champion Program, where ‘Harrison’, the sponsored child,

Sedgman was proud to support the beyondblue mental health initiative, with a number of their people supporting a fund raising drive.
Sedgman was acknowledged as a beyondblue ‘Fundraising Legend’ for their contribution in 2016.
In May 2016, WestConnex contractor, the CPB Contractors Samsung John Holland Joint Venture (CPBSJH), was able to support the locally
disadvantaged community nearby the project. Partnering with local charity organisation, the Exodus Foundation, CPBJSH facilitated the
donation of several hundred pieces of furniture, white goods and bedding from the former Phillip Lodge Motel in Ashfield. Founded in
1989, the Exodus Foundation strives to combat disadvantage in Sydney's inner west by providing food, social health and wellbeing
services to those who need it most.
CPB Contractors’ project team at the Acute Services Building Christchurch Hospital in New Zealand provided some Christmas cheer for
children in the hospital over the holiday season. Many of the 200 workers on the project met to hand over toys donated by the team and
the project’s subcontractors. Because the 75 bed children’s ward is very close to the construction zone, and is full at this time of year, the
team wanted to do something that would help add some fun to the children’s day and distract from the noise and activity outside.
Hospital staff said they were overwhelmed by the ‘incredible generosity’ of the CPB Contractors workers and subcontractors.
In 2016, CIMIC relocated its head office to a new, sustainable facility at 177 Pacific Highway, North Sydney (see ‘Innovating to deliver
projects’ section of this Sustainability Report for more detail) which also serves as the headquarters for all of the Group’s NSW
operations. In moving from the former head office at St Leonards, which had been the Group’s base since 1984, a range of furniture and
other goods were surplus to requirements. Some of these were donated to the CatholicCare ‘Out of Home Care’ program at West
Gosford on the NSW Central Coast which provides care for children and young people from 0-18 years of age who are not able to live with
their own families. Other surplus furniture was donated to The Salvation Army, to generate financial support for the Salvos’ varied social
and community service programs, and some also went to the Rough Edges charity that helps homeless people in Darlinghurst.
In 2016, CIMIC sent two volunteers from the Group (including a 2016 civil engineering graduate) to build a 40-metre long pedestrian
bridge in Rwanda alongside employees from HOCHTIEF. The project was delivered in partnership with the charity organisation Bridges to
Prosperity. Building this new bridge will help local residents to avoid a dangerous crossing which, during the rainy season, cuts them off
from work, markets or schools. Estimates suggest that this project will benefit 5,780 people directly and another 9,280 indirectly.

OUR APPROACH
As a service organisation, our success is dependent on the quality of our service which is driven largely by the skills, passion and expertise
of our people. CIMIC Group's workforce is project-focused, committed to the achievement of high quality standards, and gains
satisfaction from meeting or beating targets. CIMIC Group places considerable emphasis on leadership, responsibility and accountability,
and is committed to developing the individual skills and career paths of its employees.
EMPLOYMENT
As at 31 December 2016, the Group directly employed 28,535 people, 8,148 in Australia and 20,387 in the international operations, up
from 27,939 last year (7,610 in Australia and 20,329 in the international operations).

Based on a share of the employees in our investments as follow – HLG Contracting (45%) and Ventia (50%) - our total number of
employees is 50,874, up from 43,433 last year. The acquisition of a substantial shareholding in UGL by 31 December 2016 is the largest
factor in the total employee increase since 2015.
ATTRACTING, DEVELOPING AND RETAINING EMPLOYEES
To maintain our position as a leader in the industries in which we operate, we must ensure that the knowledge and expertise of our
people grows. To do this we identify skill gaps, train and develop our people, and share knowledge across the Company. By doing so we
improve employee attraction, retention and engagement which ensures we have the skills to execute on our strategy.
Our workforce is predominantly made up of permanently employed full time and fixed term employees. Typically, many trade-related
employees such as labourers are recruited on fixed terms for construction projects and then leave for other opportunities when the
project, or their contribution to the project, is completed.

Developing our people and leadership are critical to our success. In 2016, CIMIC Group developed ‘Program One’ which is a new Group
wide leadership framework and program which will be utilised to consistently build our leadership capability across the Group. The
program launched with a global conference led by the Executive Chairman with the top 100 executive leaders from across the Group
participating. The conference focused on ‘leading with principle’ and setting the leadership expectations required for CIMIC Group. Our
priorities into 2017 will be to roll out the program to our frontline leadership group.
In 2016, a Group-wide ‘Capability Framework’ has been developed which is designed to deliver consistent training for core capabilities
that are a priority for our business. We invest in training that supports our business requirements and the development of our
employees. Each of our Operating Companies conducts regular skills-based training and programs, such as technical and vocational
62
62
62
CIMIC 2016 ANNUAL REPORT A4 FA.indd 62
15/02/2017 9:44 am
training, and health and safety programs, to support our business requirements. In 2016, across the Group we delivered 234,463 hours of
training which equates to more than 8 hours per annum for each direct employee.
In addition, approximately 2,100 employees attended technical training as part of the Graduate and professional development training
programs provided by our focused engineering entity, EIC Activities. The Civil Graduate engineers training in CPB Contractors was
delivered via a monthly webinar series, covering 10 core competencies. Other technical training was delivered at project sites or head
offices in a classroom setting. EIC Activities has developed a list of ‘On-Demand’ technical training that can be delivered to CIMIC Group
Operating Companies on a project or regional basis.
Attracting talent is critical to building our future workforce. In 2016, CIMIC Group launched a new Group wide Graduate program.
78 graduates from across CPB Contractors, Thiess and EIC Activities commenced in February 2016. Throughout the two-year program,
graduates participate in structured development days providing in-depth information on key areas of the business. The new Group
Graduate Program has replaced programs previously delivered by individual Operating Companies. The new Group-wide program
provides consistent development experiences for all graduates and opens opportunities for rotations across the Group, including into
CIMIC. The 2016 graduates are from the engineering (75%), supply chain, legal, finance, safety and human resources disciplines.

In its first year, CIMIC Group’s graduate program has been ranked by peak industry body Australian Association of Graduate Employers
(AAGE) 32 as a Top 75 Graduate employer. The AAGE Top Graduate Employer ranking is a definitive guide to the best Australian graduate
programs as the ranking is determined entirely from survey feedback gathered from graduates who have been on formal graduate
programs. The survey requests graduates to anonymously respond and rate their organisation across 25 categories.
CIMIC Group was also ranked in the GradConnection Top100 Most Popular Graduate Employer Awards during 2016 as well as being a Top
10 Finalist for the category of Engineering and Resources Graduate Programs. GradConnection is Australia's most popular online
marketing channel for graduate opportunities and, at any one time, works with over 250 Australian graduate employers and has an
average of 150,000 to 200,000 visitors to their site each month.
GradConnection stated that, “It isn't often that we see a new graduate program rank at all on this list as students tend towards programs
that have existed in the market for some time. With this in mind it's a considerable achievement for CIMIC Group to rank so well and we
expect bigger and better things from their program in the future.”
At the Prominent Hill copper and gold mine in South Australia, production and maintenance teams are supported by first-class training
and development specialists experienced in production and maintenance training. Key initiatives include:
• an on-site $800k truck and excavator simulator to further develop plant operator skills;
• a dedicated training and development program for experienced operators. Thiess has trained more than 30 experienced operators
through the Certification (Level 4) in Training and Assessment, empowering these experienced operators to develop the workforce to
the next level;
•
•
thorough training program for ‘green’ truck operators which involves a minimum of 120 hours of practical training assessment; and
robust verification of operator competency through written, verbal and practical assessments.
Given the relatively short term duration of many of the Group’s construction projects and the fixed term employment model of trades
and manual workers, the turnover rate of our employees reflects the departures of only white collar workers (staff).

While the average tenure of our people is 3.1 years, the Group has many experienced and long serving employees. The Group’s
management, which includes key operational roles such as project managers, foremen and site superintendents, generally enjoy a
substantially longer tenure. We recognise and reward the hard work and loyalty of our employees and understand that this is an
important and effective motivator for retention.

and development specialists experienced in production and maintenance training. Key initiatives include:
• an on-site $800k truck and excavator simulator to further develop plant operator skills;
• a dedicated training and development program for experienced operators. Thiess has trained more than 30 experienced operators
through the Certification (Level 4) in Training and Assessment, empowering these experienced operators to develop the workforce to
the next level;
thorough training program for ‘green’ truck operators which involves a minimum of 120 hours of practical training assessment; and
robust verification of operator competency through written, verbal and practical assessments.

Given the relatively short term duration of many of the Group’s construction projects and the fixed term employment model of trades
and manual workers, the turnover rate of our employees reflects the departures of only white collar workers (staff).

While the average tenure of our people is 3.1 years, the Group has many experienced and long serving employees. The Group’s
management, which includes key operational roles such as project managers, foremen and site superintendents, generally enjoy a
substantially longer tenure. We recognise and reward the hard work and loyalty of our employees and understand that this is an
important and effective motivator for retention.

In order to improve employee attraction, encourage diversity and retention, the Group continues to implement a Group paid parental
leave scheme to eligible employees of the Group, in Australia. In other countries, paid parental leave is provided in accordance with
current local legislation.
In Australia, the Group paid parental leave scheme comprises paid parental leave to the primary carer of a child or adopted child. The
Group provides an additional return to work incentive to support employees returning following parental leave. The Group provides
partners of primary carers a period of paid leave upon the birth or adoption of a child. The Group’s paid parental leave scheme is an
important retention strategy which recognises the importance of employees managing personal and family commitments with work
obligations.
In 2016, CPB Contractors was ranked 10th in the list of the top 25 Australian companies that are the best in attracting and keeping top
talent, according to LinkedIn data. This list was compiled based on the actions of millions of LinkedIn users and analysed job applications,
engagement and new hire staying power, to determine those companies who can hire better and keep the best. The results were
normalised to ensure that companies were measured against their peers versus the total universe of companies.
To engage our global workforce and deliver consistent messaging and communication CIMIC launched the Group’s first new internal
newsletter – Pulse, in 2016. Bringing news to our employees across more than 430 projects, Pulse is about the sharing of ideas and
information by our people and our companies. The newsletter is an important initiative in creating a unified culture across the Group.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND ALIGNING REMUNERATION
We believe that people perform best when they have clearly defined goals and when they are empowered to operate and are held
accountable for delivering. This assists us to foster a culture of high performance.
Each of our Operating Companies has a framework for managing the performance of its people. Skill mapping against role requirements is
used to identify gaps in capability and consistently and equitably assess employee performance. Regular performance reviews for all staff
facilitates the transparent discussion of employee achievement against key performance indicators and expectations.
The Remuneration Report in this Annual Report sets out the Group’s approach to remuneration of senior and other executives. Individual
remuneration is determined with reference to Group policy regarding the mix of fixed and variable remuneration, the performance and
experience of the individual, comparable jobs within the Group and remuneration for comparable jobs amongst peer companies.
In 2013, the Leighton Superannuation Plan and the AMEC Superannuation Fund members were transferred to the defined contribution
category within the same plan. As a result, there are no defined benefit superannuation plans at year end.
FOSTERING A DIVERSE WORKFORCE
Employing a diverse range of people is important to CIMIC Group. It promotes diverse ways of thinking about, and executing on, our
principles and mission.
Our approach to diversity and inclusion aims to identify and embrace the diverse thinking that is reflected by our differences such as our
personality, communication styles, career paths, educational backgrounds, parental status, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability,
ethnicity and religion. We recognise that:
• diverse and inclusive teams promote innovation, performance and productivity;
•
•
these advantages are strongest when our workforces reflect the diverse communities in which we work; and
these diverse communities provide a valuable source of talent.
The Group’s diversity and inclusion (D&I) strategy has prioritised four strategic objectives to ensure we leverage the diverse contributions
of our people:
• Gender Equality: promote and improve female participation and achieve gender equality, including pay equity in the workplace;
•
• National Inclusion: invest in local employees to ensure the future workforce is reflective of the country in which we operate; and
• Workplace Culture: cultivate an inclusive workplace of fairness and equity which fosters the unique skills and talents of our people.
Indigenous Australia: increase Indigenous employment and the use of Indigenous suppliers;
In 2016, the Group strengthened our governance to support diversity with the launch of a D&I Executive council led by the CEO with
participation of Managing Directors from each Operating Company. The Council regularly review our Group wide workforce reporting to
track progress against our diversity objectives, and together with the Board, continue management’s focus on diversity and inclusion.

We are focused on the diversity of our business in three areas: gender diversity; local participation internationally; and Indigenous
employment in Australia. We are also aware of the importance of age diversity to our business.
The primary aim of the Group's Diversity Policy is to increase and leverage the diversity that exists across the organisation. This includes
increasing and retaining the number of women employed at all levels in CIMIC Group by seeking to overcome the challenges associated
with the relatively small numbers of women entering the engineering trades and profession. As we increase female representation across
CIMIC Group, we are seeking to ensure that women are not over-represented in administrative and professional service roles, and under-
represented in the trade, engineering and leadership roles that are core to our business.
We report certain gender related information to the Australian Government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) based on the
year ended 30 June 2016. The 2015/16 WGEA submissions show that, for the reporting entities of CIMIC, CPB Contractors, Thiess and
Leighton Properties, females accounted for around 18% of both management and non-management positons. While these results reflect
the traditionally male dominated nature of the construction and mining industries, they are encouraging in comparison to the 2016
WGEA industry data for construction (15.9%) and mining (15.8%).

Our aim is to employ an international workforce that reflects the populations in which we operate and to be an employer of choice in the
regions in which we operate. Across our major contracting businesses, we are achieving a relatively high level of local participation.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the first inhabitants of Australia, and we respect and value Indigenous people, their land
and communities and their culture and heritage. Providing employment and opportunities for Indigenous Australians is a social objective
we share with our clients. In 2016, CIMIC Group had a number of programs and partnerships in place to support the employment of
Indigenous employees and the use of Indigenous suppliers including our Oothungs (sisters in mining) program, strategic partnerships with
Indigenous employment services such as CareerTrackers and CareerSeekers and the implementation of a Group wide procurement policy
which supports the use of Indigenous suppliers in our supply chain.
Our objectives include increasing and retaining the number of Indigenous people employed by the Group and increasing opportunities for
indirect economic participation e.g. through subcontracting or supply contracts; and building our knowledge of, and capacity in,
Indigenous participation. With the decline of remote projects e.g oil and gas, we are focused on urban projects to increase our Indigenous
workforce. In 2016, our Indigenous employment rates were as follows:

CPB Contractors
Thiess
Male
21 (0.5%)

CPB Contractors is also a 50% shareholder in Ngarda Civil and Mining (Ngarda) 35, one of Australia's largest Indigenous contracting
companies, and a multi-disciplined service provider in mining, civil construction and infrastructure works across Australia. Ngarda has a
workforce of 168, 85 percent of whom are Indigenous people. The company currently has 6 apprentices, 47 trainees and 2 academy
based trainees. There are 27 Indigenous personnel completing Certificate III in Metalliferous Mining Operations.
CPB Contractors also has a 10-year partnership with CareerTrackers (entered into in 2013) which supports the long-term career
aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander university students through the creation of private sector internship opportunities.
Ensuring we have the right balance of age groups in our workforce is also important to CIMIC Group. We need to retain the experience
that mature age workers have gained from working in our industry and our organisations for long periods. Our Operating Companies are
working towards achieving this goal.

As well, we need to continually recruit younger talent that will facilitate succession planning and support our ability to build capable

ENSURING GENDER EQUITY
CIMIC Group has an ongoing commitment to ensure gender equality in the workplace. In 2016, the Group utilised the new job level
framework together with key criteria for the bonus and total fixed remuneration review process to ensure pay equity and commenced
the third formal pay equity review following changes to our operating model. The 2016 pay equity review is due to be completed in early
2017. As CIMIC operates in a male dominated industry we have been conscious to ensure that our findings are based on rigorous and
defensible analysis. With this in mind we have been working with an independent third party to provide guidance and oversight to the
analysis. As part of the final recommendations we will develop targeted initiatives linked to the findings. In addition, we will continue to
place particular focus on ensuring equity in decision making for remuneration increases and bonus payments for males and females in the
upcoming remuneration and bonus review.
The promotion and increase of female participation continues to be a key priority for the Group. The Group’s new Graduate Program
featured an above-industry female participation rate of 30 percent for the 2016 cohort. Internal networking events were hosted including
national diversity roundtable discussions to generate dialogue about how to attract and retain operational women in our business.
To support the elimination of discrimination on the basis of gender, and remove any barriers to equal participation of female employees,
the Group developed new Equal Employment Opportunity, Discrimination, Bullying and Harassment training, supported by a video from
the CEO, and refreshed the Group Code of Conduct e-learning module for all employees. In 2017, we will focus on addressing unconscious
bias.
LABOUR STANDARDS, FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
The Group does not tolerate harassment, discrimination, bullying, vilification, occupational violence or victimisation on any grounds,
whether by race, gender, sexual preference, marital status, age, religion, colour, national extraction, social origin, political opinion,
disability, family or carer’s responsibilities, or pregnancy, as reflected in Group policies including the Group Anti Bullying, Harassment and
Discrimination Policy and supported by the recent implementation of face-to-face Group Equal Employment Opportunity, Discrimination,
Bullying and Harassment training.
We recognise the right of our employees to freely associate and collectively bargain. We aim to fairly, consultatively and constructively
engage with workers, union representatives and regulators. Some 40.7% of the Group’s employees in Australia are covered by collective
bargaining agreements, 26.2% at CPB Contractors, 67.1% at Thiess and 19.5% at Sedgman.
The Group is not aware of any instances where its operations, or those of its suppliers, have seen workers’ rights to exercise freedom of
association or collective bargaining violated or at significant risk.
The Group rejects all forms of forced labour. No employee may be obliged to work by the direct or indirect use of force and/or
intimidation. Only people who voluntarily make themselves available for work may be employed. The Group does not tolerate child
labour or any form of exploitation of children or young people and will comply with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) with
respect to under-age workers.
The Group’s Dealing with Third Parties Procedure requires specific due diligence to be undertaken regarding, amongst other things,
slavery, forced or child labour. Third parties are required to sign a declaration asking if “slavery, forced or child labour been used
anywhere by the Third Party or, to the best of the Third Party’s knowledge, by any direct suppliers to the Third Party?”
OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PLANS
We place considerable emphasis on leadership, responsibility and accountability, and are committed to developing the individual skills
and career paths of our employees. In 2017, we plan to:
• undertake Group-wide employee engagement surveys;
•
•
•
•
roll out ‘One’ leadership program commencing with frontline leadership training and support;
increase intake of the 2017 Graduate Program cohort to 140;
implement an online learning laboratory for all employees; and
focus on addressing unconscious bias.

OUR APPROACH
One of the Group’s four Principles is Innovation. For CIMIC, innovation means challenging conventional practices and adopting to new
technologies, proactively investing for the future, sharing knowledge and learning from mistakes. In today’s highly competitive
environment, our clients depend on our use of innovative technology and business systems to deliver operational excellence and to
pioneer new and better ways to overcome challenges. By working closely with clients, partners, suppliers and subcontractors, we solve
tomorrow’s problems today through world-class expertise, management and quality.
Innovation is a mindset that questions and imagines what’s possible. Innovation is about creating a flexible and collaborative
environment where our people are encouraged to challenge and change their current work practices, and add value to whatever they do.
We recognise that, essentially, there are two types of innovation: incremental and transformational. Incremental innovation happens all
day, every day – it is about continuous improvement. As we strive to deliver our clients’ needs more effectively and efficiently, we focus
on improving client service, work practices, productivity and re-engineering processes. These are all valuable but, alone, they do not
achieve sustainable competitive advantage – they just keep us in the game.
Transformational, disruptive or game-changing innovation comes from creating products and services that no-one has yet developed.
Over our history we have challenged what we do, the services we provide, the markets we serve, and even our core competencies, but
our future depends on continuing to find a compelling reason to exist. We must continually ask ourselves – are we doing today what we
need to do in order to be relevant tomorrow?

to access and store key information resources helps the Group to fast track learning, repeat successes and innovate to win challenging
projects.
EIC Activities has developed a web based GIS module that is enabling projects to mitigate sub-surface utilities risks (e.g. gas, electricity,
water and telecommunications). Identification and relocation of utilities can present projects with a risk to safety, reliability and
reputation which has traditionally been mitigated by a paper based administrative process relying on a small number of specialists to
author and review the information. EIC Activities’ new GIS Permit to Disturb (PTD) system incorporates inputs from the Dial-Before-You-
Dig service and develops a master utility model. The GIS PTD system is accessible to all project members enabling staff at the workplace
to access up-to-date information. The new system streamlines the approval process by compiling all the relevant information in the one
place.
We currently have 81 projects (including in Ventia) using GIS data. An additional 14 projects are being, or have been, delivered using BIM
in 2015, bringing the total to 87 projects utilising this technology. In 2016, we trained 215 people in the use of BIM and GIS.
During the year, EIC Activities launched its Webinar Wednesday program. Held on the second Wednesday of each month, EIC Activities
hosts webinars covering a range of engineering-related topics with a focus on:
•
• best practice; and
• emerging technologies.

The webinars aim to promote discussion and socialisation of technical knowledge throughout the Group and connect colleagues
interested in a variety of engineering topics. The 30-minute webinars are interactive, with a Q&A session at the end of each presentation.
Subjects covered in 2016 included:
•
• an insight to BIM - a key digital engineering process;
• utility management;
• digital engineering;
• an introduction to Sedgman;
• methods and lean (production); and
•
surveying.
Thiess has established innovation groups – on its intranet – providing a range of useful tools that enable greater efficiency and increased
productivity. The intranet provides a dedicated innovation space that allows employees to collaborate with subject-matter-experts and
innovation champions, and enables increased knowledge sharing and best practice.
In June 2016, Thiess’ Technical Services, Principal Mining Geologist, Helgi Stedman, won a professional excellence award from the
Australian Institute of Mining and Metals. Mr Stedman was recognised for his contribution to the industry through his innovative idea of
using blast-hole data to improve the precision of geological models. Since first trials of the technique began at Lake Vermont in 2012, coal
recovery has steadily improved from low 90s to almost 100%. This technique puts Thiess at the forefront of maximising coal recovery
while improving performance results for Thiess and its clients.
Sedgman has leveraged commercially available Virtual Reality (VR) hardware to develop its own VR environment for viewing and
reviewing designs as 3D models. Enhancing traditional design processes, the tool has been used during safety reviews to better highlight
and eliminate any potential risks for the constructor or operator. The tool also presents opportunities for site familiarisation and training.
Sedgman’s annual ‘Meakin Innovation Award’ was presented to 3 employees who adapted an existing technology by using specialist
clamps for the purposes of installing light poles, switches, hose reels and small pipes to plant structures. The team developed a
customised pressed steel plate to be used in conjunction with the clamps to simplify installation, reducing time and cost.
Over the last year, Sedgman has developed and tested a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) density tracer system at two coal handling
preparation plants. The RFID system uses tracers of different size and densities which are inserted into the dense medium cyclones (DMC)
and are detected by antennas mounted on the DMC product (coal) and reject (waste) screens. The separation efficiency and residence
time can then be determined from the data. Test work was conducted to compare the traditional sampling method of evaluating DMC
performance against the RFID tracer method and the results were very similar. This RFID method eliminates the need to manually handle
multiple 200L drums of coal/reject, reducing risk of injury.
CPB Contractors is now using mobility solutions to enable foremen and engineers to spend more time out on the job supervising works
and to reduce project costs. For example, the introduction of a mobile platform means several thousand sub-contractors now complete
plant and labour time sheets on their own smartphones. The digital forms are sent to foremen for approval and costing, eliminating paper
dockets and significantly reducing data entry overhead costs. Further work is underway to facilitate electronic proof-of-delivery for
materials received on site and to develop electronic work packs – key documents used on-site to manage packages of work.

In 2016, revenue generated by CPB Contractors from sustainably rated or ‘green’ projects was almost $2.1 billion. CPB Contractors’
position as a sustainable contractor with a track-record in delivering ISCA rated projects positons the company well for the future.
CPB Contractors' Green Standards project revenue ($m)
The 177 Pacific Highway project in North Sydney, developed by Leighton Properties and constructed by CPB Contractors, is a 30 storey,
40,000 square metre A-grade commercial office tower and is 5-star Green Star and 5-star NABERS rated. The project features a number of
sustainable initiatives including:
• water efficient fittings/fixtures to minimise potable water consumption in conjunction with a 90,000 litre rainwater capture system
servicing irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing demands;
using concrete mixes developed to utilise industrial waste products as aggregate, reducing the requirement for raw mined aggregates
and using recycled/reclaimed water, together with the selection of structural reinforcing steels with high strength grades, to minimise
the material requirement;
of breathable air for occupants; and
demand control ventilation that adjusts ventilation rates and ensures carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are kept low, maximising the quality
a highly efficient lighting design that incorporates re-programmable lighting control zones of no greater than 100 square metres,
providing greater control flexibility and reducing tenant energy consumption and running costs.
A notable feature of the design is the large cutaway (cut-out) sections of the building which increase the amount of sunlight to the
community in North Sydney. The ingenious solution incorporates large cutaway sections within the centre of the tower to allow solar
access to Council's ‘special areas’ on the winter solstice. The provision of these cut-away sections also permitted the building to rise 42
metres above Council’s previously defined maximum height limit.
MANAGING RISK
The recognition and management of risk is embedded in all activities of the Group and is a core part of our culture. The Group’s exposure
to risk stems from its broad and evolving business risk profile, which covers areas including operations, safety, reputation, regulation,
contracts, human resources, finance, information and strategy.
As required by the CIMIC Board, management has implemented a policy framework designed to ensure that the Group’s material
business risks are identified and that adequate controls are in place and function effectively, and for management to report to the Board
on whether those risks are managed effectively. This framework incorporates the maintenance of comprehensive policies, procedures
and guidelines which span the Group’s diverse contracting and project development activities, including setting financial controls,
conducting business audits, investment and acquisition overview, and ensuring high standards in corporate communications and external
affairs. The CIMIC Group Risk Framework is based on International Standard ISO 31000:2009 ‘Risk management – Principles and
guidelines’, and forms the basis for CIMIC’s risk management activities.
40 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the
environmental performance of a building and encourage market transformation towards sustainable design.

The Group’s key risks, including those arising due to externalities such as the economic, natural and social operating environments, are
set out in the table in the Operating and Financial Review Section in this Annual Report, together with the Group’s approach to managing
those risks.
These technical webinars reached over 1,100 employees across the Group either during the live broadcast or by being accessed on-line at
a later date. The majority of these were delivered by EIC Activities staff. One was a guest webinar by Sedgman and others included
presenters from other Operating Companies, demonstrating the degree of collaboration occurring across the Group.
QUALITY
Delivering projects that meet our clients and other stakeholder requirements is the result of good planning and skilful execution.
Everyone has accountabilities in this regard.
The Group has people in pure quality and systems roles with direct accountability for ensuring compliance with ISO 9001:2008 Quality
Management Systems. These people also coordinate with key stakeholders and subject matter experts to improve our procedures so we
work more efficiently and develop effective controls to ensure that work is done in compliance with quality requirements. The Group’s
quality certification includes:
• Thiess – AS/NZS ISO 9001 (DNV-GL Quality System Certification);
• CPB Contractors – AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 (SGS Quality System Certification);
•
Leighton Asia – ISO 9001:2008 (India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia - Lloyd’s Quality System Certification, Hong Kong – HKQAA

Other shareholder return information can be found in the Operating and Financial Review section of this Annual Report and in the
Remuneration Report. But value is more than purely dividends and share appreciation for shareholders. CIMIC creates value in other
ways that have significant benefits to communities and society:
•
the infrastructure and property projects we construct for clients (roads, railways, hospitals, schools, offices, gas plants, wind farms,
water recycling plants, telecommunications lines, etc) are fundamental to improving the productivity of economies and the quality of
people’s lives;
contract mining produces resources (coal, iron ore, nickel, copper, gold, diamonds) which are critical for economic development and
prosperity, and help to generate royalties and tax income for governments, stimulate local communities, and generate well paid and
secure employment;
•
• our operations and maintenance services are integral to the upkeep of critical infrastructure – we help keep the lights on, trains
rolling, water flowing and motorways tolling;
• by engaging many thousands of sub-contractors to provide services to our projects, and the payments we make, we provide
•
employment opportunities and foster local suppliers, many of them in regional and remote communities; and
the innovation of our people leads to safer construction techniques for the industry and new services which can be exported to other
markets, ultimately earning income for the country.
42 Certification covers Sedgman’s Brisbane, Gold Coast and Santiago offices and Townsville workshop locations for the following scope: concept
development, feasibility, minerals processing and materials handling design, engineering, fabrication, installation, and repair and maintenance services to
the resources sector. Additional locations and services will be considered for certification in the future.
43 Restated for 2014 for comparison to reflect continuing operations after disposals. This calculation follows the formula set by the GRI.
44 The Group incurred tax expenses of $430.4 million in 2014 and $135.1 million in 2013 due to the profits on sale and income from its discontinued
operations.

OUR APPROACH
Respect for the environment is a demonstration of CIMIC Group's core values of Integrity, Accountability, Innovation and Delivery. We
undertake to use resources efficiently, minimise waste and promote the delivery of energy efficient, environmentally and socially
responsible projects. By constantly innovating we seek to improve efficiency and reduce waste, thereby lowering costs, improving our
value proposition and growing client loyalty.
Operating across a range of diverse and sensitive areas, we are committed to managing our environmental footprint using consistent
processes and methods that reflect best practice and mitigate environmental risk. Effective management of the environment is a
commercial and ethical imperative, and is part of our everyday decisions and processes. An enhanced reputation in environmental
management gives us a competitive advantage in winning and delivering work.
Each of our Operating Companies maintains an environmental management system which comprises governance documentation, and
comprehensive environmental management plans, procedures and other supporting documents. All of the Group’s Operating Companies
management systems are certified to ISO 14001.45
Minimising project and business-wide impacts, such as erosion and sediment control, protection of flora and fauna, and reducing our
carbon emissions, are important focus areas for environmental management at CIMIC Group.
MANAGING HAZARDS AND RISKS
We recognise that by preventing and mitigating pollution and degradation, we avoid potential operational delays, remediation costs,
fines and legal fees, and enhance our relationships with the communities and markets in which we operate. We also understand that by
delivering on specifications and standards set by regulators, clients and other stakeholders, we stand to gain the confidence of the
markets and communities in which we operate, and avoid potential litigation and increased insurance premiums.
The Group’s 2016 environmental performance was positive with no Level 146 incidents recorded (0 also recorded in 2015) and 6 Level 247
incidents recorded (versus 4 in 201548). The number of Level 2 incidents has declined markedly over recent years.
45 The Sedgman Environment Management System has been certified to the ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management standard. The Gold Coast,
Townsville, Brisbane and Santiago (Studies and Design scope) has been certified to this/these standards. All projects and operational sites are internally
audited for compliance with the requirements of the Sedgman HSEQ management system.
46 Pollution or degradation which has high severity impacts on the community and/or environment and may have irreversible residual impacts.
47 Pollution or degradation which has moderate severity impacts on the community and/or environment (1 to 3 months duration) but is fully reversible
with no residual impacts.
48 From Q3 2016, any incident in CPB Contractors that relates to formal warning or legal breach is classified as a Level 2 incident, pushing up the number of
Level 2 incidents for the second half of 2016. This change does not apply retrospectively i.e. result in reclassification of past incidents.

• M4 Widening: sediment released onto a public road in Auburn;
• Northwest Rapid Transit: a low level of dust was generated in the precast yard works area; and
• WestConnex M4 East: turbid water was observed passing the site boundary.
9 legal breaches were recorded in CPB Contractors for environmental incidents and a fine of $6,000 was incurred for out of hours work
after 1pm on a Saturday at 177 Pacific Hwy, North Sydney.
In Leighton Asia, 1 Level 2 incident was recorded in 2016 in Singapore on the construction of the Springleaf Station and Tunnels project
due to mosquito breeding. The breach resulted in a fine from the regulator of approximately $3,800. Another potential Level 2 incident
also occurred in Singapore on the Downtown Line Stage 3 project, however no penalty has been received to date.
The number of Level 3 incidents across the Group have continued to fall over time with a reduction from 824 in 2015 to 520 in 2016.
The Group has adopted a comprehensive, systematic and collective approach to hazard and risk management, and by continuously
monitoring and improving our performance, we ensure we remain competitive in the markets in which we operate.
DEALING WITH CLIMATE CHANGE AND REDUCING EMISSIONS
CIMIC understands the need to reduce emissions by boosting energy productivity, reducing waste, rehabilitating degraded land,
increasing renewable energy and driving innovation. Our responses to climate change involve the adoption of a number of approaches.
We aim to reduce emissions by working together with our clients and business partners. Our Operating Companies use a range of systems
to track and report on our energy use and calculate our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

For CIMIC, absolute measures of emissions are important but not the most relevant measures. Emissions are driven by the demands of
our clients but we continue to try to find ways to operate more effectively and efficiently in undertaking the construction so as to reduce
the emissions from each individual project.
Similarly, two infrastructure projects – such as a hospital and a railway line – may have similar costs but generate very different emission
footprints. Both are necessary to the welfare of the community but are not comparable in terms of their overall contribution to the
Group’s emissions. The Group’s challenge – on a project-by-project basis – is to reduce emissions wherever possible.
For example, on the $1.15 billion Sydney Metro Northwest Tunnels and Station Civil Project, being delivered by a CPB Contractors John
Holland Dragados (CPBJHD) joint venture, the project was able to achieve a significant reduction in energy use and a 24% reduction in
Scope One and Scope Two emissions. Scope One reductions have been achieved through:
•
the use of B5 blended fuel;
• plant selection criteria targeting plant less than 4 years old;
• use of hybrid excavators;
•
fuel efficient training and awareness programs; and
49 The frequency rate is the total number of Level 1 and Level 2 incidents per million man hours worked.
50 Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission for ‘Other’ have been extrapolated for the 2016 year based on 2015/16 NGER data.

In 2016, CIMIC participated in the first HOCHTIEF Energy Award54 which elicited 44 submissions, representing projects and ideas from
across CIMIC Group, HOCHTIEF and Turner. CIMIC Group companies took out 1st and 3rd places, and filled 6 of the top 10 positions.
Thiess’ ‘Lighting Plant Refurbishment Program for the energy-efficient lighting plant in mines’ initiative was awarded 1st place. The
program’s key benefits include 75% less fuel use and carbon emissions, 60% less frequent servicing, refuelling decreased from every
3days to just 12 times each year, and servicing extended from every 250 hours to every 400 hours – now carried out in tandem with
refuelling. When the 160-strong fleet of lighting plants is refurbished, Thiess is set to save more than 3.2 million litres of diesel and 8.5
million kilograms of CO2-e each year.
The 3rd placed project was Thiess’ ‘Novel gas technology to displace diesel in the world’s largest mining trucks’ initiative which aims to
replace 80% of the diesel required for heavy-duty mining trucks through the use of natural gas. Other CIMIC Group initiatives in the top
10 included:
•
•
reducing fuel consumption on haul trucks at the Melak coal mine by adjusting engine power output (Thiess Indonesia) – 5th place;
improving the efficiency of generator sets on the Melak coal mine project by controlling power spikes and optimising output to meet
consumption demands (Thiess Indonesia) – 7th place;
• use of a Remote Area Power System which incorporates a coordinated generator, solar panels and battery bank at the Melbourne
International RoRo & Automotive Terminal (MIRRAT) (CPB Contractors) – 8th place; and
•
increasing the efficiency of a plant yard at Laverton in Victoria by upgrading to energy efficient LED fittings and a 20kW solar system

REDUCING WATER CONSUMPTION
The Group’s construction and mining projects seek to identify and implement opportunities for water efficiency and savings. Each of the
Group’s projects develops a water management plan to effectively manage water according to the unique conditions of that project.
Generally Sedgman is required to comply with their client’s water management plans.
During 2016, the Group’s contracting activities used almost 12.7 million kilolitres of water and discharged almost 2.2 million kilolitres.

The water management plans address the environmental values of the surrounding environment; potential water sources; and the
regulatory commitments and landholder obligations that a particular project must meet. The plans systematically address all risks
associated with water management on the project and identifies controls that the project will put in place to manage environmental
values and associated risks. They also focus on identifying options for minimising potable water use and maximising recycling and water
reuse. These options are critical on projects where water is scarce.
On the Sydney Metro Northwest - the CPB Contractors John Holland Dragados (CPBJHD) joint venture achieved a 37% reduction in total
water used below the reference footprint, as the result of the closed loop recirculation networks used for cooling on the project tunnel
boring machines. Potable water use was reduced through on-site rainwater harvesting and the use of recycled water.
51 'Operational control' is the concept used when determining the corporate group which has NGER obligations for the facility.

CPB Contractors and UGL have been selected by Melbourne Water to deliver the approximately $127 million Western Treatment Plant -
Treatment Capacity Increase Project in a 50:50 joint venture. The new treatment facility at Werribee is designed to integrate with the
existing Western Treatment Plant and involves the design and construction of a new sewage treatment facility with a hydraulic capacity
of 140 million litres per day. The Group is proud to be able to apply its construction capability to upgrading a facility that processes
around half of Melbourne's sewage and produces almost 40 billion litres of recycled water a year.
USING MATERIALS EFFICIENTLY
We aim to continually innovate so as to improve the efficiency of the resources we use and reduce waste, thereby lowering our costs,
improving our value proposition and benefiting the environment. In 2016, CPB Contractors and Leighton Asia spent some $924 million on
4.84 million tonnes of materials.

• prioritisation of erosion controls to reduce sedimentation management needs;
seasonal earthworks programming to avoid high rainfall months and elevated erosion periods;
On the Sydney Metro Northwest, the CPBJHD joint venture project team, in collaboration with the tunnel boring machine (TBM)
manufacturer, developed an innovative traverse and relaunch methodology which, utilising the TBM propulsion system, avoids
installation and relocation of jacking systems, that had not been implemented anywhere in the world to date. This innovative process
reduced the construction program by 2.5 months, reduced construction noise by over 10 decibels and reduced materials inputs, avoiding
the use of over 600 tonnes of structural steel.
Use of materials on the Sydney Metro Northwest was significantly reduced, with a 45% reduction in ‘ecopoints’ 55 below the reference
footprint, thanks largely to an innovative concrete mix for the high-strength concrete used in the tunnel lining segments. A reduction of
330,000 tonnes of concrete was achieved due to a reduction in segment thickness from 370mm to 260mm.
REDUCING WASTE
To minimise the impact of our operations on the environment we encourage our teams, wherever possible, to take a life-cycle approach
to resource efficiency. This means reducing waste through smarter design and procurement, and recycling when this is possible.
55 Ecopoints are a measure of overall environmental impact developed by BRE. The annual environmental impact caused by a typical UK citizen creates 100
Ecopoints; more Ecopoints indicates a higher environmental impact.

CPB Contactors has successfully delivered the MIRRAT facility in Victoria. The project has become the first in the state to be awarded a ‘6-
Star Green Star’ ‘Design’ rating from the Green Building Council of Australia and ‘Excellent’ rating in both the ‘Design’ and ‘As-Built’
categories from ISCA. The facility will be Australia’s largest car terminal, with a berth length of 920 metres and the capacity to handle up
to one million units a year. Sustainability initiatives included:
• over 260,000 tonnes of recycled brick, glass and concrete used in the construction of the pavements across the site;
• 95% of the waste generated onsite during construction has been recycled;
recycled sand has been used throughout the site to backfill trenches;
through the use of recycled materials and efficient design the carbon footprint of the materials used in the facility has been reduced
by over 30%, which equates to over 4,000 tonnes of CO2 and
rainwater harvesting is being used across the site to provide water for the wash-bay and toilet flushing.
The project features a host of other sustainability initiatives.
PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY
We aim to avoid environmental impacts to sensitive locations during the design and planning phases of our diverse infrastructure,
resources and property projects. Where this is not possible, we deploy strategies to minimise disturbance while efficiently, effectively and
safely completing work. In areas with sensitive ecological communities, the Group employs a range of measures to manage and mitigate
potential impacts. Central to this is the development of biodiversity management plans that consider local contexts, baseline surveys,
monitoring results and specialist advice.
The rehabilitation of disturbed areas remains an integral element of dealing with biodiversity on our construction, mining projects and
services. This typically involves progressively reshaping disturbed areas, establishing erosion control structures, and topsoiling and
seeding. Rehabilitation aims to ensure that areas are safe, stable and suitable for agreed land uses, such as agriculture, grazing or natural
habitats. In 2016, Thiess rehabilitated 1,314 hectares of land on its mining projects.

At the Moreton Bay Rail (MBR) project in Queensland, CPB Contractors successfully dealt with a number of environmental challenges
including undertaking substantial ‘Greenfield’ works within populated residential areas and dense coastal bushland. Notably, the project
intersects estuarine and freshwater waterways, and is adjacent to the Moreton Bay Marine Park and Ramsar-listed56 Hays Inlet. Key
project initiatives include:
• detailed design to avoid disturbance and prioritised drainage construction to minimise onsite water-management devices;
catchment size reduction to allow use of type-two controls that reused mulch (over 5,000 cubic metres) and rock from site works;
• use of short and long-term stabilisation techniques, and innovative soil-binding technologies, to reduce water quality impacts and to
avoid large, traditional sediment basins;
• application of more than 173,100 square metres of hydro-seed, 13,500 square metres of bonded fibre matrix and 16,000 square
metres of turf; and
•
community group involvement in rehabilitating marine-plant areas.
These key initiatives resulted in a timely delivered project, successfully rehabilitated sites, 0 environmental incidents and a positive
relationship developed with the surrounding community.

Financial
Report
Thiess, Dawson South Coal Mine, Queensland Australia
Thiess has a long history and unrivalled experience operating at the Dawson Mine,
having been part of the original joint venture in 1962 to establish and operate what
was then known as Moura Mine. In 2005 Anglo Coal entered into an alliance with the
Thiess Sedgman Joint Venture (TSJV) to deliver the $346 million Dawson project -
a massive upgrade and expansion. Thiess resumed operations at Dawson in February
2015, undertaking the open-cut mining of the existing pit at Dawson South.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
CIMIC Group Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise
the Company and its controlled entities (the “Consolidated Entity” or “Group”) and the Consolidated Entity’s interest in associates and joint
arrangements.
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
(“AASBs”) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. The financial
report of the Consolidated Entity also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the International
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The standards, amendments to standards and interpretations available for early adoption at reporting date that have not been applied in
preparing this financial report are detailed in Note 39: New accounting standards.
Basis of preparation
Presentation
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts disclosed in the financial
report relate to the Group unless otherwise stated. The financial report has been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for available-
for-sale assets and derivative financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.
The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191
dated 24 March 2016 and in accordance with that ASIC Instrument, amounts in the financial report have been rounded off to the nearest
hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been applied
consistently to all periods presented in the financial report.
New and amended standards adopted by the Company
In the current year, the Company has applied a number of new and revised accounting standards and amendments that are mandatorily
effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2016, as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
AASB 2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations;
AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and
Amortisation;
AASB 2014-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Equity method in separate financial statements
AASB 2015-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-

While these standards introduced new disclosure requirements, they do not affect the Group’s accounting policies or any of the amounts
recognised in the financial statements.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
Accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future period affected.
Judgements made in the application of AASBs that could have a significant effect on the financial report and estimates with a risk of
adjustment in the next year are as follows:
Construction and mining contracting projects:
- determination of stage of completion;
- estimation of total contract revenue and contract costs;
- assessment of the probability of customer approval of variations and acceptance of claims;
- estimation of project completion date; and
- assumed levels of project execution productivity.
It is reasonably possible on the basis of existing knowledge that actual outcomes within the next financial year that are different from the
estimates and assumptions in the areas listed above could require a material adjustment to the carrying value of amounts due from and
due to customers and amounts receivable from and payable to related parties. Refer to Note 8: Trade and other receivables, Note 16:
Trade and other payables and Note 37: Related party disclosures.
- Controlled entities and businesses: determination of loss of control and fair value of consideration; and
- Other assets: determination as to whether the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred;
Estimation of the economic life of property, plant and equipment and intangibles;
Asset impairment testing, including assumptions in value in use calculations;
Assessment of the fair value of available-for-sale assets and derivatives; and
Determination of the fair value arising from business combinations.
Lease classification;
Asset disposals:
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Results of controlled entities are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the date control is obtained or excluded from
the date the entity is no longer controlled. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains or losses arising from intragroup
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the
Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling
interests to reflect their relative interests in the controlled entity.
Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or received
is recognised in the equity reserve. When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair
value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
Basis of consolidation continued
a)
Revenue recognition
Controlled entities
Investments in controlled entities are carried in the Company’s financial statements at cost less impairment.
Investments in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the entity. Significant
influence is presumed to exist when the Group owns between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and recognised initially at cost. The cost of the investments includes
transaction costs and goodwill on acquisition.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted
investments, after adjustments for impairment and after aligning the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that
significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investment, the carrying value of the investment, including
any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further loss is discontinued except to the extent
that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Joint arrangements
Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending
on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Company has
assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined to have both joint operations and joint ventures.
Joint operations
The Group recognises its direct right, and its share of, jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have
been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of joint operations are set out in Note 27: Joint
operations.
Joint ventures
Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, the interests are initially recognised in the
consolidated statement of financial position at cost, including transaction costs and goodwill on acquisition, and adjusted thereafter to
recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income in profit or loss and
other comprehensive income respectively.
When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint venture (which includes any long-term
interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses,
unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint
ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been adjusted for where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the
Group.
Other investments
Other investments are accounted for as either available-for-sale financial assets, or fair value through profit and loss financial assets.
Revenue from construction contracting services is recognised using the percentage complete method. Stage of completion is measured by
reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total costs for each contract. Where the project result can be reliably
estimated, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as earned and incurred. Where the project
result cannot be reliably estimated, profits are deferred and the difference between consideration received and expenses is carried forward
as either a contract receivable or contract payable. Once the contract result can be reliably estimated, the profit earned to that point is
recognised immediately.
Revenue from mining contracts and mineral processing is recognised on the basis of the value of work completed.
Property development revenue includes sales of development properties, rental and fee income. Revenue from the sale of property
developments and land sales is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Rental income is
recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the operating lease. Other property development revenue is recognised as services are
provided.
Other revenue including telecommunications, environmental and utilities services, is recognised as services are provided.
Expected losses on all contracts are recognised in full as soon as they become apparent.
Interest revenue is recognised on an accruals basis.
Dividend income is recognised when the dividend is declared.
b)
Finance costs
Finance costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except where they are included in the costs of qualifying
assets. The capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of finance costs to be capitalised to qualifying assets is the weighted average
interest rate applicable to the entity’s borrowings during the period.
Finance costs include interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating
to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings, finance lease charges and certain
exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings.
c)
Income tax
Income tax expense on the profit or loss for the period comprises current and deferred tax expense. Income tax expense is recognised in
the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in
equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date,
and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
The Group adopts the statement of financial position liability method to provide for temporary differences between the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Taxable temporary differences are not
provided for the initial recognition of goodwill. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or
settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The Company is the head entity in the Tax Consolidated Group
comprising the Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries. The head entity recognises all of the current tax assets and liabilities and deferred
tax assets in respect of tax losses of the Tax Consolidated Group (after elimination of intra-group transactions). Deferred tax assets and
liabilities in respect of temporary differences are recognised in the subsidiaries’ financial statements.
The Tax Consolidated Group has entered into a tax funding agreement that requires wholly-owned subsidiaries to make contributions to
the head entity for current tax assets and liabilities occurring after the implementation of tax consolidation. Under the tax funding
agreement, the contributions are calculated using the “group allocation” approach so that the contributions are equivalent to the current
tax balances generated by transactions entered into by wholly-owned subsidiaries. The contributions are payable as set out in the
agreement and reflect the timing of the head entity’s obligations to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities. The
assets and liabilities arising under the tax funding agreement are recognised as intercompany assets and liabilities with a consequential
adjustment to current tax assets.

Earnings per share
f)
Derivative financial instruments
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing profit attributable to shareholders of the parent entity, excluding any costs of servicing
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income
tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of
shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
e) Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash
equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. When acquired, non-derivative financial instruments are recognised at
fair value. At subsequent reporting dates they are measured at amortised cost unless specifically mentioned below.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at bank and call deposits. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, net cash
includes cash on hand, at bank and short term deposits at call, net of bank overdrafts where there is an ability to offset and an intention to
settle.
Trade and other receivables
Contract and trade debtors include all net receivables from construction, contract mining and mineral processing, property development,
and other services. Included in contract debtors is the progressive valuation of work completed. The valuation of work completed is made
after bringing to account a proportion of the estimated contract profits and after recognising all forecast losses. Contract and trade debtors
are normally settled within 60 days of billing.
Where payments received exceed the revenue recognised, the difference is recorded as a liability in the statement of financial position.
Changes in the fair value of the option are recorded in profit and loss. If the option is called the joint venture will be acquired in a business
Other amounts receivable generally arise from transactions other than the revenue generating activities and include amounts in respect of
sales of assets and taxes receivable. Interest may be charged at market rates based on individual debtor arrangements. Amounts receivable
expected to be received after twelve months are discounted. Recoverability is assessed at reporting date and provision made for any
doubtful debts. Prepayments represent amounts paid for the rights to receive future goods or services.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale assets are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and include acquisition costs.
Subsequently, available-for-sale assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised as a separate component of equity
in the fair value reserve. When the asset is sold, collected or otherwise disposed, or if the asset is determined to be impaired, the cumulative
gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial
recognition. Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit and loss comprise equity securities that otherwise would have been
classified as available-for-sale. These financial assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and movements in fair value are
taken into the statement of profit and loss.
Interest bearing liabilities
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, being the amount received less attributable transaction costs. After initial
recognition, interest bearing liabilities are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being
recognised in the statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.
Trade and other payables
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid for goods or services received. Trade payables are settled on terms aligned with the normal
commercial terms in the Group’s countries of operation.

Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Where
derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of changes in fair value depends on the nature of the item being
hedged. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging relationship is revoked, the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated,
exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.
Cash flow hedge
Changes in the fair value of designated and qualifying cash flow hedges are deferred in equity. Where it is expected that all or a portion of
a loss recognised directly in equity will not be recovered in future periods, that loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Amounts deferred are included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability where the forecast transaction being hedged
results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability.
Cash flow hedges relating to operating activities are recognised in profit or loss in the same period the hedged item is recognised in profit
or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity is recognised
immediately in profit or loss.
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
Gains or losses on the hedging instrument are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. Gains and losses deferred in the
foreign currency translation reserve are recognised in profit or loss upon disposal of the foreign operation.
Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of designated and qualifying fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair
value of the hedged item that is attributable to the hedged risk. When hedge accounting is discontinued the adjustment to the carrying
amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to profit or loss from that date. The gain or loss relating to the
ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss as part of other expenses or other income.
Call option to acquire remaining shares in joint venture
combination and the fair value of the option at the point it is utilised will form part of the purchase consideration for the remaining shares.
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories comprise:

Cost includes the costs of acquisition, development and holding costs such as rates, taxes and finance costs. Holding costs on property
developments not under active development are expensed as incurred.
Cost is based on the weighted average principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their
h) Assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale
Assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction,
rather than through continuing use, and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A
gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment
Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the statement of financial position. Assets are not
depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial position. Interest
and other expenses attributable to the liabilities associated with assets held for sale continue to be recognised.

Call option to acquire remaining shares in joint venture
Changes in the fair value of the option are recorded in profit and loss. If the option is called the joint venture will be acquired in a business
combination and the fair value of the option at the point it is utilised will form part of the purchase consideration for the remaining shares.
g)
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories comprise:
Property developments
Cost includes the costs of acquisition, development and holding costs such as rates, taxes and finance costs. Holding costs on property
developments not under active development are expensed as incurred.
Raw materials and consumables
Cost is based on the weighted average principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their
existing condition and location.
h) Assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale
Assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction,
rather than through continuing use, and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and
fair value less costs to sell.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A
gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment
loss previously recognised.
Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the statement of financial position. Assets are not
depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial position. Interest
and other expenses attributable to the liabilities associated with assets held for sale continue to be recognised.

i)
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation is calculated so as to write-off the net book values of property, plant and equipment over their estimated
effective useful lives as follows:
freehold buildings: straight line method - up to 40 years;
major plant and equipment: cumulative number of hours worked - up to 10 years;
major plant and equipment - component parts: cumulative number of hours worked - up to 10 years;
leased plant and equipment: cumulative number of hours worked - up to 10 years;
office and other equipment: diminishing value method - up to 10 years; and
leasehold buildings and improvements: straight line method, over the terms of the leases - up to 40 years.

Customer contracts
Brand names acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. Brand names are carried at their fair
value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Where brand names’ useful lives are assessed
as indefinite, the brand names are not amortised but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever there is an indication
that it might be impaired. Where brand names’ useful lives are assessed as finite, the brand names are amortised over their estimated

Subsequent expenditure is included in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment only when it is probable that the associated
future economic benefits will flow to the Group. All other costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
amortised over their estimated useful lives.
IT systems
j)
Leased assets
Leases under which the Group assumes substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance leases. Other leases
are classified as operating leases.
Finance leases
A lease asset equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments is recorded
at the inception of the lease. A finance lease liability is recognised at the net present value of future finance lease rentals and residuals.
Lease liabilities are reduced by repayments of principal. The interest components of the lease payments are expensed. Contingent rentals,
which are potential incremental lease payments not fixed in amount as they relate to future changes, are expensed as incurred.
Operating leases
Payments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
k)
Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. The consideration for the acquisition of a
controlled entity comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group.
The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the controlled entity. Acquisition related
costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured 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 proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. The excess of the
consideration transferred over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Where the consideration is less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the controlled entity acquired the difference is recognised
directly in the statement of profit or loss as a gain on acquisition of a controlled entity.
l)
Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill arising from business combinations is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in equity
accounted investments. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there is an indication that
it might be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.
Costs incurred in developing systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that will provide future period economic benefits
are capitalised to other intangibles. Costs capitalised include external direct costs of materials and services and direct payroll and payroll
related costs of employees’ time spent on projects. IT systems are amortised over their estimated useful lives of up to 7 years.
IT systems are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.
m)
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.
If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets are reviewed at each reporting date irrespective of an indication of impairment.
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is
the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the asset. The recoverable amount for an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating
unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset has been previously revalued, in which case the
impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any excess recognised in the statement of profit
or loss. Reversals of impairment losses, other than in respect of goodwill and available-for-sale assets, are recognised in the statement of
profit or loss.
n)
Employee benefits
Liabilities in respect of employee benefits which are not due to be settled within twelve months are discounted at period end using rates
which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. Corporate bond rates are utilised where a deep market exists.
Rates from national government securities are utilised where a deep market for Corporate bonds does not exist.
Wages, salaries, annual and long service leave
The provision for employee entitlements to wages, salaries and annual and long service leave represents the amount which the Group has
a present obligation to pay resulting from employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. Provisions have been calculated based
on expected wage and salary rates and include related on-costs. In determining the liability for these employee entitlements, consideration
has been given to estimated future increases in wage and rates, and the Group’s experience with staff departures.
Superannuation
Defined contribution superannuation plans exist to provide benefits for eligible employees or their dependants. Contributions by the Group
are expensed to the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

n) Employee benefits continued
Share-based payment transactions
Ownership based remuneration is provided to employees via the plans outlined in Note 36: Employee Benefits. The fair value of share
options and share rights are recognised as an expense over the vesting period.
Shares are recognised when either options are exercised and the proceeds received or shares are issued to settle share rights.
Retention arrangements
Retention arrangements are in place ranging from three years to retirement for certain key employees which are payable upon completion
of the retention period.
The provisions are accrued on a pro-rata basis during the retention period and have been calculated based on salary rates, including related
on-costs.
Annual bonus and deferred incentive arrangements
Annual bonuses and deferred incentives are provided at reporting date and include related on-costs. The Group recognises a provision
where there is a contractual or constructive obligation.
o)
Share capital
Ordinary share capital
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at its par value, being the consideration received by the Company.
Dividends
Provision is not made for dividends unless the dividend has been declared by the Directors, but not distributed, at or before the end of the
period.
p)
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.
Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognised in the
statement of profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Translation of controlled foreign entities
Assets and liabilities of controlled foreign entities are translated into the presentation currency at the rates of exchange at reporting date
and the statement of profit or loss is translated at the rates approximating foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
The resulting exchange differences are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve. Exchange gains and losses on transactions
which form part of the net investments in foreign controlled entities together with any related income tax effect are recognised in the
foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity
relating to that particular foreign entity is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Structures Project being undertaken by CPB Contractors Pty Ltd (CPB), a wholly owned subsidiary of CIMIC, together with its consortium
partners, Saipem SA and Saipem Portugal Comercio Maritime LDA (together the Consortium) for Chevron Australia Pty Ltd (Chevron)
In November 2009 the Consortium was announced as the preferred contractor to construct the 2.1 kilometre Chevron Gorgon LNG
Jetty and Marine Structures project on Barrow Island, 70 kilometres off the Pilbara coast of Western Australia.
The scope of work consisted of the design, material supply, fabrication, construction and commissioning of the LNG Jetty. The scope
also included supply, fabrication and construction of marine structures including a heavy lift facility, tug pens and navigation aids.
The jetty comprised steel trusses approximately 70 metres long supported by concrete caissons leading to the loading platform
approximately 4 kilometres from the shore.
Initial acceptance of the jetty and marine structures took place on 15 August 2014.
During the project, changes to scope and conditions led to the Consortium submitting Change Order Requests (CORs). The Consortium,
Chevron and Chevron’s agent, entered into negotiations in relation to some of the CORs.

8. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES CONTINUED
On 9 February 2016 the Consortium formally issued a Notice of Dispute to Chevron in connection with the Gorgon Contract relating
to the CORs. Following a period of prescribed negotiation, the parties have entered a private arbitration as prescribed by the
Gorgon Contract. As the Gorgon Contract does not specify a time limit within which the process must be determined, there can be
no certainty as to when the matter will be finalised.
On 20 August 2016, in order to pursue further its entitlement under the contract, CIMIC Group commenced proceedings in the
United States against Chevron Corporation and KBR Inc. The commencement of the proceedings has no effect on the contract
process or CIMIC’s entitlement to the amounts under negotiation / claimed in the aribtration.
The Group’s share of the total amount claimed equals approximately $1.86 billion. CIMIC confirms its view that CPB remains entitled to
that amount plus interest (being an amount exceeding $500 million that will continue to accrue) and costs (Total Entitlement).
CIMIC has only recognised revenue equal to the costs incurred in respect of the Gorgon Contract in accordance with the relevant accounting
standard, AASB 111, resulting in an amount equal to $1.15 billion (approximately 50% of the Total Entitlement) being recognised as a
Contract debtor at 31 December 2016 (Contract debtors).

the repayment of the above loans is subject to certain restrictions as a result of the loans being subordinate to other external

external debt in September 2018, or where HLG Contracting receives prior written consent from the financier, or where a
permitted payment under the financing arrangement occurs; and
non-current interest receivable of US$104.6 million (31 December 2015: US$85.0 million), equivalent to $145.3 million (31 December
2015: $116.4 million), is receivable from HLG Contracting on the interest bearing shareholder loans.

As disclosed in Note 29: Acquisitions and Disposals of controlled entities and businesses, a portion of goodwill arising on the acquisition of
UGL is attributable to existing construction and services businesses. The goodwill has been provisionally allocated to the cash-generating
units that will benefit from the synergies. Of the total goodwill acquired of $480.7 million, $120.2 million has been allocated to cash-
generating units within the Construction segment and $360.5 million has been allocated to cash-generating units within the new segment
Services, refer to Note 31: Segment information.
The recoverable amount of all cash-generating units is based on value in use calculations, using five year cash flow projections based on
forecast operating results and the CIMIC Group Business Plan. The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit exceeds its carrying
amount.
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations and the approach to determining the recoverable amount of all cash-generating
units in the current and previous period are:
Market / segment growth:
Commodity price stability:
Economic forecasts, taking into account the Group’s participation in each market
Analysis of price forecasts, adjusted for actual experience
Inflation / CPI rates and foreign currency
rates:
Economic forecasts
Discount Rate:
Growth Rate:
Risk in the industry and country in which each unit operates

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The recoverable amount of intangible assets exceeds their carrying values at 31 December 2016. The Group considers that for the carrying
value to equal the recoverable amount, there would have to be unreasonable changes to key assumptions. The Group considers the
chances of these changes occurring as unlikely.

shares on issue as at the date of this financial report. Due to the further on-market share buy-back announced by the Company on 12
December 2016, which commenced on 29 December 2016, there may be fewer shares on issue on the record date for the dividend than

On 30 November 2016 an agreement was reached with with HLG Contracting’s existing shareholders which allowed one shareholder, Al
Habtoor Holdings LLC, to transfer their shareholding to the other partner Riad Al Sadik. Following this transfer CIMIC’s shareholding
remained unchanged at 45% with Riad Al Sadik now owning the remaining 55%.
Following the completion of this agreement CIMIC management have determined they have joint control of HLG Contracting in accordance
with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of this change in control, CIMIC’s investment in HLG Contracting is now
classified as a joint venture, whereas it was previously classified as an associate. CIMIC continues to equity account for the investment
and as such there was no impact on the carrying value of the investment as a result of this change.
As part of the contractual arrangements around shareholder exit, CIMIC assumed certain obligations from the other shareholders including
guaranteeing various performance bonds (refer Note 33: Contingent Liabilities), acquired certain loans from Al Habtoor Group LLC for
US$27.2 million (equivalent to $37.8 million) and acquired a call option to purchase the remaining 55% shareholding in HLG Contracting.
This option has no current impact on the control of the company. The option is a derivative, as defined by AASB 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition & Measurement (AASB 139) and is required to be carried at fair value with any gain and loss recognised in profit and loss in
the period.
As at 31 December 2016 the fair value of the call option was determined to be US$54.0 million (equivalent to $75.0 million). In accordance
with AASB 139 the option has been classified as a financial asset held at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting gain has been
reflected in Note 3: Expenses. The asset value has been disclosed in Note 12: Other investments.
HLG Contracting’s new shareholder structure is a step towards reaching its long term strategic objectives in the region. This will allow HLG
Contracting to continue to deliver leading projects for clients. A strategic review of the HLG Contracting business has commenced and is
ongoing.
During the reporting period, the carrying value of the Group’s investment in HLG Contracting decreased from $444.7 million to $366.5
million (equivalent to US$263.9 million in 2016 and US$324.6 million in 2015). The decrease was due to the Group’s share of equity
accounted loss of $84.4 million, offset by a foreign exchange translation gain of $6.2 million.
The recoverable amount of the Group’s investment was calculated using a value in use calculation.

a) Material joint ventures continued
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculation:
Discount rate
15% (31 December 2015: 15%)
Growth rate
Legacy project
receivables
3% (31 December 2015: 3%) for cash flows beyond five years. This rate does not exceed the expected
long-term average growth rate for the Middle East & North Africa (“MENA”) region
There continues to be a delay in payment from clients in the MENA region, particularly for projects in
progress at the time the Group invested in HLG Contracting. It is assumed of the remaining unprovided
legacy project receivables, 55% will be collected within twenty-four months and 45% collected
subsequently (31 December 2015: 56% and 44% respectively)
Borrowings
Borrowings obtained to fund working capital will be progressively repaid during the forecast period

The calculation uses five year cash flow projections based on forecasts provided by HLG Contracting’s
the estimated growth rate
Management considers that for the recoverable amount to fall below the carrying value there would have to be unreasonable changes
to key assumptions. Management considers the likelihood of these changes occurring as unlikely.
Refer to Note 8: Trade and other receivables for further details relating to loans and other receivables provided to HLG Contracting.

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculation:
Discount rate
Growth rate
Legacy project
receivables
Borrowings
Forecast cash flow
15% (31 December 2015: 15%)
3% (31 December 2015: 3%) for cash flows beyond five years. This rate does not exceed the expected
long-term average growth rate for the Middle East & North Africa (“MENA”) region
There continues to be a delay in payment from clients in the MENA region, particularly for projects in
progress at the time the Group invested in HLG Contracting. It is assumed of the remaining unprovided
legacy project receivables, 55% will be collected within twenty-four months and 45% collected
subsequently (31 December 2015: 56% and 44% respectively)
Borrowings obtained to fund working capital will be progressively repaid during the forecast period
The calculation uses five year cash flow projections based on forecasts provided by HLG Contracting’s
management, risk adjusted downward by the Group. Cash flows beyond five years are extrapolated using
the estimated growth rate
Management considers that for the recoverable amount to fall below the carrying value there would have to be unreasonable changes
to key assumptions. Management considers the likelihood of these changes occurring as unlikely.
Refer to Note 8: Trade and other receivables for further details relating to loans and other receivables provided to HLG Contracting.

Acquisitions – UGL Limited
Acquisitions – Sedgman Pty Limited
On 10 October 2016, CIMIC Group Investments No.2 Pty Limited (CGI2), a controlled entity within the Group, became a substantial
shareholder in UGL Limited (UGL), an entity formerly listed on the ASX, by acquiring an interest of 13.84% of shares on issue. On obtaining
the initial interest CIMIC announced a final unconditional offer for the remaining shares pursuant to a takeover at a price of $3.15 per
share.
On 24 November 2016, CGI2’s ownership interest in UGL increased to over 50% and thereby gained control. The results of UGL have been
consolidated from this date. CGI2 subsequently increased its ownership interest in UGL to more than 90% and exercised its right to
compulsorily acquire the remaining shares, which was completed on 20 January 2017. The shareholding at 31 December 2016 was 95%.
Cash consideration paid to 31 December 2016 to acquire the non-controlling interest was $248.5 million and a liability for $29.3 million is
recognised for the remaining shares.

The goodwill is attributable to the future profitability and expertise of UGL, as well as the synergies expected to be achieved from
integrating UGL with the pre-existing CIMIC cash generating units (CGUs) of CIMIC in the construction segment. An element of the acquired
goodwill has been provisionally allocated to this segment refer to Note 15: Intangibles. The values of assets and liabilities acquired have
not been finalised due to the proximity of the acquisition to the end of the period. No goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The acquisition has been accounted for under Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business Combinations. Under AASB 3 the Group can elect, on
an acquisition by acquisition basis, to recognise non-controlling interests in an acquired entity either at fair value or at the non-controlling
interest’s share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets / (liabilities). For the acquisition of UGL, the CIMIC Group elected to
recognise the non-controlling interests at the non-controlling interest’s share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable liabilities.
The contribution by UGL to the Group from the acquisition date to the end of the period ended 31 December 2016 was $204.2 million
revenue and $5.3 million profit after tax after making adjustments for the acquisition in accordance with AASB 3. Had the acquisition
occurred on 1 January 2016, UGL’s contribution to the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016 would have been $1,983.3 million
revenue and $104.3 million of loss after tax. The loss includes $200.0 million of provisions recorded prior to acquisition on the Ichthys
Projects.
The goodwill is attributable to the future profitability and expertise of Sedgman, as well as the synergies expected to be achieved between
Sedgman’s mineral processing activities and the Group’s mining operations. No goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The acquisition has been accounted for under Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business Combinations. For the acquisition of Sedgman the
Group elected to recognise the non-controlling interests at fair value.
The revaluation of CIMIC’s previously held investment to fair value resulted in a gain on remeasurement of $25.4 million. In addition the
associates reserve of $21.2 million was recycled from equity to profit and loss, resulting in a total gain on acquisition before tax of
$46.6 million (refer to Note 3: Expenses).
The contribution by Sedgman to the Group from the acquisition date to the end of the period ended 31 December 2016 was $223.7 million
of revenue. Had the acquisition occurred on 1 January 2016, Sedgman’s contribution to the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016
would have been $255.7 million revenue. The business is now integrated with mining operations and reported within the mining and
mineral processing segment (refer to Note 31: Segment information), as such it is not possible to assess the contribution of the business
to profit for the year.

Operating leases
The Group leases plant and equipment used in mining and mineral processing, construction and services activities. Operating leases
generally provide the Group with a right of renewal. Under certain property operating leases, contingent rentals may be payable for
periodic rent reviews. The Group’s leasing arrangements impose no restrictions on any of its financial arrangements.

viii) On 6 December 2016, the Company announced to the ASX that it had been made aware of additional proceedings relating to an
alleged failure to disclose the report to the AFP (referred to in (vi) above) which had commenced on 23 November 2016. The
additional proceedings purport to be for the same class as the proceedings in (vii) above and in relation to similar issues. The
Company denies the claim and will defend the proceedings.
ix) On 24 June 2015 the Senate of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia referred an inquiry into foreign bribery to the
Senate Economics References Committee. The inquiry lapsed at the proroguing of the 44th Parliament. On 11 October 2016, the
Senate readopted the inquiry. The Committee is to report by 30 June 2017. The Company anticipates that the matter referred to in
(vi) above will be a subject of the inquiry.
Included in the table above are amounts where the Group has indemnified performance and payment bonds in respect of all of the Group’s
joint ventures and associates in the normal course of business totalling $1,014.4 million (31 December 2015 $547.1 million).
Letters of credit include those provided for the Group’s capital commitments totalling $80.3 million (31 December 2015: $3.3 million).
34. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Other contingencies
i)
The Group is called upon to give, in the ordinary course of business, guarantees and indemnities in respect of the performance by
controlled entities, associates and related parties of their contractual and financial obligations. The value of these guarantees and
indemnities is indeterminable in amount.
ii)
There exists in some entities within the Group the normal design liability in relation to completed design and construction projects.
35. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Capital planning forms part of the business and strategic plans of the Group. Decisions relating to obtaining and investing capital are made
following consideration of the Group’s key financial objectives including total shareholder return and the maintenance of an investment
grade credit rating. Performance measures include return on revenue, return on equity, earnings growth, liquidity and borrowing capacity.
The Group has access to numerous sources of capital both domestically and internationally, including cash balances, equity, bank debt,
capital markets, insurance and lease facilities. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
iii) Certain entities within the Group have the normal contractor’s liability in relation to construction contracts. This liability may include
litigation by or against the Group and / or joint arrangements in which the Group has an interest. It is not possible to estimate the
financial effect of these claims should they be successful. The Directors are of the opinion that adequate allowance has been made
and that disclosure of any further information about the claims would be prejudicial to the interests of the Group.
iv) Controlled entities have entered into joint arrangements under which the controlled entity may be jointly and severally liable for the
liabilities of the joint arrangement.
v) Under the terms of the Class Order described in Note 38: CIMIC Group Limited and controlled entities, the Company has entered into
approved deeds of indemnity for the cross-guarantee of liabilities with participating Australian subsidiary companies.
vi) On 13 February 2012, the Company announced to the ASX that it had reported to the Australian Federal Police (“AFP”) a possible
breach by employees within the Leighton International business of its Code of Ethics that, if substantiated, may have contravened
Australian laws. The AFP is investigating the CIMIC Group’s international operations. In November 2013, ASIC made public statements
about its cooperation with the AFP in the AFP’s investigation. On 28 March 2014, ASIC informed the Senate Estimates Committee
that it had commenced a formal investigation into potential breaches of the Corporations Act relating to a number of matters being
investigated by the AFP.
The Company is cooperating with the AFP and ASIC investigations. The Company does not know when the investigations will be
concluded.
vii) On 7 October 2013, the Company announced to the ASX that it had been made aware of proceedings relating to an alleged failure to
disclose the report to the AFP (referred to in (vi) above) which commenced on 4 October 2013. On 14 April 2015 the proceedings
were stayed by the Victorian Supreme Court and on 7 September 2015 the Victorian Court of Appeal dismissed the plaintiff’s appeal
of that decision and permanently stayed the proceedings. In any event, the plaintiff has in the interim commenced nearly identical
proceedings in relation to the same subject matter. The Company continues to deny the claim and is defending the proceedings.
The activities of the Group result in exposure to credit, liquidity and market risk (equity price, foreign currency and interest rate).
a)
Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that a counterparty will not complete its obligations under a financial instrument resulting in a financial loss
to the Group. The Group has a credit policy in place and exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group minimises
concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers in various countries. Derivative and deposit
counterparties are limited to investment grade financial institutions. At the reporting date, other than the trade receivables relating to
the Gorgon LNG Jetty and Marine Structures Project, and the loan receivables from HLG Contracting (refer to Note 8: Trade and other
receivables), there were no other significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented
by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the statement of financial position. The
Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for receivables at the reporting date by geographic region was: Australia Pacific $1,145.6 million
(31 December 2015: $682.7 million) and Asia, Middle East, Americas & Africa $3,299.8 million (31 December 2015: $2,866.1 million).
The ageing of the Group’s receivables at the reporting date was: not past due: $564.1 million (31 December 2015: $497.7 million); past
due: $353.5 million (31 December 2015: $282.5 million). Past due is defined under AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to mean any
amount outstanding for one or more days after the contractual due date. Past due receivables aged greater than 90 days: 8% (31
December 2015: 6%).

b)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient funds to settle financial liabilities when they fall due. This includes having insufficient levels
of committed credit facilities. The Group’s objective is to maintain efficient use of cash and debt facilities in order to balance the cost of
borrowing and ensuring sufficient availability of credit facilities, to meet forecast capital requirements. The Group adopts a prudent
approach to cash management which ensures sufficient levels of cash and committed credit facilities are maintained to meet working
capital requirements. Liquidity is reviewed continually by the Group’s treasury departments through daily cash monitoring, review of
available credit facilities and forecasting and matching of cash flows.
At 31 December 2016 the Group had undrawn bank facilities of $1,686.4 million (31 December 2015: $1,861.5 million), and undrawn
guarantee facilities of $546.3 million (31 December 2015: $563.9 million).

e)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flow associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to
changes in the market interest rates. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to assist in managing its interest rate exposure.
Speculative trading is not undertaken. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from the interest receivable on ’Cash and cash equivalents’
and interest payable on ‘Interest bearing loans’.
At the reporting date it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in floating interest rates would have increased the Group’s
profit after tax and retained earnings by $8.3 million (31 December 2015: increased by $13.6 million). A one percentage point decrease
in interest rates would have an equal and opposite effect.

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments was:

d)
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial commitment, a recognised asset or liability will fluctuate due to changes in
foreign currency rates. The Group’s foreign currency risk arises primarily from net investments in foreign operations. The Group uses
non-derivative financial instruments, such as borrowings in the foreign currencies, to hedge its investments in foreign operations. Foreign
currency gains and losses arising from translation of net investments in foreign operations are recognised in the foreign currency
translation reserve until realised.
Shareholders of the Group are exposed to foreign currency risk on project receipts and expenditure on plant and equipment denominated
in currencies other than their functional currency. Where this foreign currency risk is considered to be significant, shareholders of the
Group enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge their foreign currency risk. These hedges are classified as cash flow hedges and
measured at fair value.
Cash flow hedges
The Group’s cash flow hedges protect against foreign exchange rate fluctuations on highly probable forecast transactions using foreign
exchange forward contracts. As at reporting date the fair value of these outstanding designated derivatives recognised in equity is $1.0
million (31 December 2015: $0.6 million). It is expected that the current hedged forecast transactions will occur during the periods
outlined in section (b) above and will affect the statement of profit or loss in the same periods. There are no gains or losses recognised in
the statement of profit or loss during the period due to hedge ineffectiveness.
Exposure to foreign currency risk
The most significant foreign currencies the Group is exposed to is the United States dollar (US$) along with the U.A.E Dirham (AED) and
Hong Kong dollar (HKD), both of which are pegged to the US$. The applicable Australian dollar to United States dollar exchange rates
during or at the end of the relevant reporting period, were as follows:

At 31 December 2016, the share of the Group’s assets and liabilities denominated in US$ was: assets US$4,318.4 million (31 December
2015: US$4,165.3 million); liabilities US$1,473.1 million (31 December 2015: US$1,777.4 million). The majority of these US$ balances are
held in entities with a US$ functional currency.
Sensitivity analysis
A movement in the United States dollar (US$) against the Australian dollar (AU$) at reporting date would have increased / (decreased)
equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain
constant. The analysis was performed on the same basis for the period ended 31 December 2015.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flow associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to
changes in the market interest rates. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to assist in managing its interest rate exposure.
Speculative trading is not undertaken. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from the interest receivable on ’Cash and cash equivalents’
and interest payable on ‘Interest bearing loans’.
At the reporting date it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in floating interest rates would have increased the Group’s
profit after tax and retained earnings by $8.3 million (31 December 2015: increased by $13.6 million). A one percentage point decrease
in interest rates would have an equal and opposite effect.

Fair value hierarchy continued
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of
financial assets and liabilities held at fair value have been determined based on either the listed price or the net present value of cash
flows using current market rates of interest. The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities in the Group’s balance sheet
approximate fair values.
The table below analyses other financial instruments carried at fair value, listed in order of valuation method. The different levels have
been identified as follows:
During the period there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value hierarchies. Level 3 instruments comprise
unlisted equity and stapled securities and unlisted financial assets at fair value through profit and loss; the determination of the fair value
of these securities is discussed below. The tables below analyse the changes in Level 3 instruments as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices)
Unlisted equity and stapled securities available-for-sale

or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Methods and valuation techniques continued
The fair value of interest bearing liabilities is:
Listed debt: 10-Year-Fixed-Rate Guaranteed Notes fair value US$212.4 million, equivalent to $295.0 million; carrying value US$201.3
million, equivalent to $279.6 million (31 December 2015: fair value US$207.5 million, equivalent to $284.2 million; carrying value US
$201.3 million, equivalent to $275.8 million).
Unlisted debt: Guaranteed Senior Notes fair value US$368.3 million, equivalent to $511.6 million; carrying value US$339.0 million,
equivalent to $470.8 million (31 December 2015: fair value US$377.6 million, equivalent to $517.3 million; carrying value US$339.0
million, equivalent to $464.4 million).
Cash flow hedges
The Group’s foreign currency forward contracts are not traded in active markets. The fair values of these contracts are estimated using a
valuation technique that maximises the use of observable market inputs, e.g. market exchange and interest rates and are included in Level
2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Option to acquire shares
The Group’s option to acquire shares is not related to a listed entity and as such the fair value cannot be observed from a market price. The
Monte-Carlo simulation technique used incorporates market observable data including multiples of similar companies to derive a value
of the company and compares this to the contractual exercise price to determine a fair value.
Valuation process
The internal valuation process for unlisted investments, unlisted debt and cash flow hedges is managed by a team in the Group finance
department which performs the valuations required for financial reporting purposes. The valuation team reports to the CIMIC’s CFO.
Discussions on valuation processes and outcomes are held between the valuation team and CFO as required. The methods and valuation
techniques used for the purpose of measuring fair value are unchanged compared to the previous reporting period.
Valuation inputs
The following table summarises the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value
measurements. There were no significant inter-relationships between unobservable inputs that materially affect fair values.

a) Rights plans
Equity Incentive Plans – 2012, 2013, and 2014 Awards
Shareholder approval was obtained at the Annual General Meeting on 22 May 2012 for the Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”). The EIP provides
the legal framework for the awards of share rights made in 2012, 2013 and 2014 under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI”), Short-Term
Incentive Plan (Deferral) (“STI”) and One-off Awards described below.
Long-Term Incentive Plan – 2012 Awards
The Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI”) – 2012 Awards performance share rights were granted for no cost to the employee and entitle the
participant to receive one fully paid ordinary share in the Company per right, subject to the terms and conditions determined by the
Remuneration and Nomination Committee, including vesting conditions linked to service and performance over the three year
performance period. All share rights issued expire on the earlier of their vesting date where performance hurdles are not met or
termination of the individual’s employment except in certain special circumstances.
In addition to a continuing employment service condition, the vesting is conditional on the Group achieving Total Shareholder Return
(“TSR”) (ie, growth in share price plus dividends reinvested) or Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) performance hurdles, as follows:
50% of each grant of share rights will be subject to a TSR performance hurdle (“parcel A”). The TSR hurdle requires the Company’s
TSR percentile ranking against the TSR performance of the companies comprising the ASX 100 (as at 1 January 2012) over the
performance period (from grant date to test date) to be at least at the 51st percentile before any parcel A share rights vest (50% vest
at threshold) then pro rata to the 75th percentile and then at the 75th percentile or greater all parcel A share rights vest; and
50% of each grant of share rights will be subject to an EPS hurdle (“parcel B”). Annual compound earnings per share growth over the
performance period must be at least 8% per annum before any parcel B share rights vest (50% vest at threshold) then pro rata to
13% per annum and then at 13% per annum all parcel B share rights vest.
Long-Term Incentive Plan – 2012 Additional Award
Additional awards of performance share rights were made under the same vesting and performance conditions as the 2012 LTI, and
measured over three, four and five year performance periods.
Amount recognised during the reporting period: Expense $0.1 million (31 December 2015: Gain $3.0 million).

1Each 2013 LTI performance hurdle is tested over a three year performance period, which runs from 1 January. Performance hurdles are to
be tested in February following the announcement of full year results for the previous financial year.
2The fair values were calculated at grant date using Monte-Carlo simulation pricing models. Volatility in share prices and expected dividend
levels were estimated based on historic levels for a period consistent with the relevant performance period.
3The fair values were calculated at grant date using binomial tree pricing models. Volatility in share prices and expected dividend levels
were estimated based on historic levels for a period consistent with the relevant performance period.
4This grant represents an amendment to an existing award.
5The volume weighted average share price during the reporting period to 31 December 2015 was $22.96.
6The five day volume weighted average share price up to and including 6 May 2016 was $37.26.
7The performance hurdles for the 2013 LTI were partially met at the test date in February 2016 and as a result 99.26% of the EPS grant
vested and 94.21% of the TSR grant vested in May 2016. The remaining unvested rights lapsed in accordance with the terms of the award.
Long-Term Incentive Plan – 2014 Awards
The Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI”) – 2014 Awards performance share rights were granted for no cost to the employee and entitle the
participant to receive one fully paid ordinary share in the Company per right, subject to the terms and conditions determined by the
Remuneration and Nomination Committee, including vesting conditions linked to service and performance over the three year
performance period. All share rights issued expire on the earlier of their vesting date where performance hurdles are not met or
termination of the individual’s employment except in certain special circumstances.
50% of each grant of share rights will be subject to a TSR performance hurdle (“parcel A”). The TSR hurdle requires the Company’s
TSR percentile ranking against the TSR performance of the companies comprising the ASX 100 (as at 1 January 2014) over the
performance period (from grant date to test date) to be at least at the 51st percentile before any parcel A share rights vest (50% vest
at threshold) then pro rata to the 75th percentile and then at the 75th percentile or greater all parcel A share rights vest; no rights will
vest if TSR is less than or equal to 0%; and
50% of each grant of share rights will be subject to an EPS hurdle (“parcel B”). Annual compound earnings per share growth over the
performance period must be at least 6% per annum before any parcel B share rights vest (50% vest at threshold) then pro rata to
10% per annum and then at 10% per annum all parcel B share rights vest.
Amount recognised during the reporting period: Expense $0.6 million (31 December 2015: Expense $2.4 million).

During the period 2012 to 2014, a percentage of the amount which was earned by executives as a short-term incentive for each financial
year was paid in cash, and a percentage delivered as deferred share rights, vesting of which was deferred for one to two years without

appreciation rights are subject to forfeiture if Mr Fernández Verdes had ceased to be the CEO of CIMIC before 31 December 2014 or if he

c) Options
Long-Term Incentive Plan – 2015 Award
Board approval was obtained on 28 October 2015 for a discretionary award of options over unissued ordinary shares in the Company to
be made to selected executives. The award of options was made under the legal framework of the EIP approved by shareholders on 22
May 2012. The exercise price is the volume weighted average price of fully paid ordinary shares in CIMIC over the five trading days
following Board approval of the award (excluding the date of the approval).
All options issued expire on the earlier of their expiry date or termination of the individual’s employment except in certain circumstances.
Options vest two years after the grant date, subject to individual service and contribution hurdles approved by the Company. Any Options
that do not vest will immediately lapse. No more than 40% of the options can be exercised each year for the first two years after vesting,
and any remaining options can be exercised in the final year of the exercise period. All options must be exercised prior to the expiry date.
Amount recognised during the reporting period: Expense $1.0 million (31 December 2015: Expense $0.2 million).

1CIMIC Group Limited (CGL) Class Order Company has the benefit of ASIC Class Order 98/1418. For further information, refer to section (i).
2As at 31 December 2016 the Group owned 95% of the shares of UGL Limited but had exercised the right to compulsorily acquire the
remaining shares. A liability is recognised for the remaining shares.
-
Non-controlling interests
There were no material non-controlling interests relating to the Company’s material subsidiaries disclosed above as at 31 December
2016. There were no material transactions with non-controlling interests during the period to 31 December 2016 other than the
acquisition of the shares from the non-controlling interest share holders. Refer to Note 29: Acquisitions and disposals of controlled
entities and businesses.
g)
Unconsolidated structured entities
The Group is party to several lease agreements with unconsolidated structured entities during the reporting period. These transactions
were undertaken to develop operational and financing synergies across the Group. The unconsolidated structured entities are financed
by external parties and the Group does not hold any equity interests or assets such as loans or receivables with these entities. The relevant
activities of the structured entities are directed by contractual agreements. The entities are controlled by external parties and therefore
are not consolidated by the Group.
The Group is only exposed to the variability of returns in relation to return conditions at lease expiry, which are not known at this time.
These items are also included at Note 19: Interest bearing liabilities and Note 32: Commitments.
The table below provides a summary of the Group’s exposure to unconsolidated structured entities.

Pursuant to ASIC Class Order 98/1418 dated 13 August 1998, relief was granted to the CGL Class Order Companies from the Corporations
Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and publication of financial statements. The Company and each of the CGL Class Order
Companies are party to a Deed of Cross Guarantee dated 10 June 2008. The effect of the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each
creditor payment in full of any debt of a CGL Class Order Company in the event of its winding up under certain provisions of the
Corporations Act 2001. If a winding up occurs under other provisions of the law, the Company will only be liable in the event that after
six months any creditor has not been paid in full. The CGL Class Order Companies have also given similar guarantees in the event that the
Company or other CGL Class Order Companies party to the Deed of Cross Guarantee are wound up.
On 28 September 2016, ASIC Class Order 98/1418 dated 13 August 1998 was repealed by ASIC Corporations (Amendment and Repeal)
Instrument 2016/914, and ASIC replaced its financial reporting relief for wholly-owned companies with the new ASIC Corporations (Wholly-
owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785 (New ASIC Instrument). The New ASIC Instrument applies in relation to a financial year ending
on or after 1 January 2017, while ASIC Class Order 98/1418 continues to apply, despite its repeal, in relation to a financial year ending
before 1 January 2017. Therefore, the CGL Class Order Companies have been able to rely on the benefit of relief afforded by ASIC Class
Order 98/1418 as at 31 December 2016.
One of the conditions to obtain relief under the New ASIC Instrument is that before the end of the relevant financial year, the company
seeking relief must be a party to a deed of cross guarantee.
The Company has decided to revoke the current Deed of Cross Guarantee dated 10 June 2008 in its entirety and enter into a new Deed of
Cross Guarantee in order to:
(a) effect the removal of a number of entities from the Group’s Deed of Cross Guarantee structure (i.e. release them from their covenants
in respect of the cross-guarantee of Group debts); and
(b) update the form of the Deed of Cross Guarantee so that it reflects the new ASIC pro forma deed (which, due to the update of the
New ASIC Instrument, will be required going forward for the proper administration of the deed).
As a result, the Company and each of the CGL Class Order Companies who are party to the Deed of Cross Guarantee dated 10 June 2008
have been released from their obligations under the Deed by executing two Revocation Deeds dated 19 December 2016 (one in respect
of CGL as the trustee under the Deed, and one in respect of CIMIC Finance Limited as the alternative trustee under the Deed), which have
both been lodged with ASIC. These Revocation Deeds will take effect 6 months from the date of lodgement with ASIC. The Company and
each of the CGL Class Order Companies (except for the following companies which are small proprietary companies and therefore not
seeking to rely on the financial reporting relief provided by the new ASIC Instrument) have also executed a new Deed of Cross Guarantee
dated 19 December 2016 in compliance with the requirements of the New ASIC Instrument:
Leighton Contractors Infrastructure Nominees Pty Ltd;
Leighton Contractors Infrastructure Pty Ltd;
Leighton Funds Management Pty Limited;
Leighton Holdings Infrastructure Nominees Pty Ltd;
Leighton Holdings Infrastructure Pty Ltd;
Leighton Infrastructure Investments Pty Limited;
Leighton Properties (Brisbane) Pty Limited;
Leighton Property Funds Management Limited;
Leighton Property Management Pty Limited; and
LH Holdings Co Pty Ltd.
The Deed of Cross Guarantee dated 19 December 2016 has been lodged with ASIC.
Thiess Pty Limited and HWE Mining Pty Limited executed Revocation Deeds dated 9 December 2016 and subsequently lodged the
Revocation Deeds with ASIC which will have the effect of revoking the Deed of Cross Guarantee dated 17 December 2015 in its entirety 6
months from the date of lodgement with ASIC. The Deed is being revoked as HWE Mining Pty Limited no longer requires financial reporting
relief.

39. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the Group in the
period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 31 December 2016, unless noted otherwise below, but have not been
applied in preparing this financial report. The Group’s assessment of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:
39. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CONTINUED
AASB 16 – Leases
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (revised December 2014) and AASB 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising
from AASB 9 (December 2014)
after 1 January 2019.
This standard replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised guidance on the
classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculation of impairment
on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward guidance on recognition and
derecognition of financial instruments from AASB 139. The standard will become mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2018. The Group does not intend to early adopt the standard. Retrospective application is required with some
exceptions.
While the Group has yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the classification and measurement impacts of the new standard
the Group expects the following impacts:
-
-
-
-
the Group does not expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on the classification and measurement of its financial
assets;
the Group does not hold any financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss and as such there is no impact of the new
standard on financial liabilities;
as a general rule more hedge relationships may be eligible for hedge accounting. Existing hedge relationships would appear to
qualify as continuing hedge relationships upon adoption of the new standard; and
the new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses rather than only
incurred credit losses. Whilst the Group has not yet finalised its detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 9 and its interaction
with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers it may result in earlier recognition of credit loss provisions.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 2014-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from
AASB 15
AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining the timing and quantum of revenue recognised. It replaces existing
guidance, including AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity shall
recognise revenue when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. This standard will become mandatory for reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach
for the adoption.
The Group is assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements resulting from the application of the new standard. Broadly
there is an increased threshold to recognising revenue and related assets in the new standard. Given the number of projects operated
by the Group, revenue in any particular year is not expected to vary significantly in percentage terms however there is expected to
be a reduction in assets recognised on the balance sheet. The following areas have been identified that are likely to be significantly
affected.
-
-
Currently under AASB 111 Construction Contracts costs incurred during the tender process are capitalised within net contract
debtors when it is deemed probable the contract will be won. Under the new standard costs can only be capitalised if they are
both expected to be recovered and either would not have been incurred if the contract had not been won or if they are intrinsic
to the delivery of a project. As such a reduction in net contract debtors is expected.
Construction revenue is predominantly derived on projects with one performance obligation. Contracted revenue will continue
to be recognised over time on a percentage completion basis however the new standard imparts a higher threshold of
probability for recognition of claims and variances. Revenue is currently recognised when it is probable that work performed
will result in revenue whereas under the new standard revenue is recognised when it is highly probable that a significant
reversal of revenue will not happen. As such a reduction in net contract debtors may be seen under the new standard.
- Mining projects typically involve payment on the delivery of ore to a client. There are several stages in mine development and
production that, dependent on the contract terms, could represent separate performance obligations. Revenue is required to
be allocated to each performance obligation and recognised on transfer of control. The appropriate allocation of revenue may
result in a change in the timing of revenue recognition that may be accelerated or deferred compared to the current method.
The new standard requires significant increases in disclosures in relation to revenue derived from contracts, key judgments
and future revenue expected to be generated.
-
AASB 16 Leases specifies how to recognise, measure and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model,
requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for almost all leases. AASB 16 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or
As at the reporting date, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $969.4 million, refer to Note 32:
Commitments. The Group manages its owned and leased assets to ensure there is an appropriate level of equipment to meet its
current obligations and to tender for new work. The decision as to whether to lease or purchase an asset is dependent on the finance
available at the time and the residual risk of ownership following the anticipated completion of a project.
Many of the operating leases currently held expire prior to the implementation of the standard and decisions on future leases will
be made as projects are tendered for. As such the Group has not quantified the effect of the new standard, however the following
impacts are expected:
-
-
-
the total assets and liabilities on the balance sheet will increase with a decrease in net total assets, due to the reduction of the
capitalised asset being on a straight line basis whilst the liability reduces by the principal amount of repayments. Net current
assets will show a decrease due to an element of the liability being disclosed as a current liability;
interest expenses will increase due to the unwinding of the effective interest rate implicit in the lease. Interest expense will be
greater earlier in a leases life due to the higher principal value causing profit variability over the course of a lease life. This
effect may be partially mitigated due to number of leases held in the Group at different stages of their terms; and
operating cash flows will be higher as repayment of the principle portion of all lease liabilities will be classified as financing
activities.
The following new or amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements:
AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses;
AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107;
AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment
Transactions;
or Joint Venture; and

AASB 2015-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128
40. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Subsequent to reporting date:
The Group determined a 100% franked dividend of 62 cents per share to be paid on 4 July 2016.
On 24 January 2017, CIMIC announced its intention to acquire the remaining shares of Macmahon that it did not already own, at a
price of $0.145 per share, made through an unconditional off‐market takeover offer.
On 25 January 2017, CIMIC, through the UGL-CH2M JV-GE Consortium, which includes UGL and its joint venture partner CH2M,
terminated its contract with JKC Australia LNG for the design, construct and commissioning of the Ichthys Combined Cycle Power
Plant. The termination is adequately covered by provisions held at 31 December 2016.
The Directors approved the financial report on 8 February 2017.

How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit
Matter
Recognition of revenue and recovery of contract debtors
including recovery of Gorgon LNG Jetty and Marine Structures
Project contract debtors
Refer to Note 1(a) ‘Revenue recognition’, Note 2 ‘Revenue’ and
Note 8 ‘Trade and other receivables’.
The Group’s two largest sources of revenue are contract mining
controls including:
and construction projects.
Mining revenues are derived from contracts based on the value
of work completed.
Construction revenues are derived from contracts where
revenue is recognised based on the stage of completion. This
is measured as the percentage of work performed up to the
reporting date with respect to the total anticipated contract
work to be performed. Construction revenue is recognised by
management after assessing all factors relevant to each
contract, including specifically assessing the following as
applicable:
-
-
-
-
Determination of stage of completion;
Estimation of total contract revenue and costs including the
estimation of cost contingencies;
Determination of contractual entitlement and assessment
of the probability of customer approval of variations and
acceptance of claims; and
Estimation of project completion date.
The Group recognises in contract debtors progressive valuation
of work completed as well as amounts invoiced to customers.
The recognition of these amounts is based on management’s
assessment of the expected amounts recoverable.

partners (“the Consortium”), was announced as the preferred
contractor to construct the Gorgon LNG Jetty and Marine

StructuresProject(“Gorgon Contract”) forChevron Australia Pty Ltd (“Chevron”).Initial acceptance of the jetty and marine structures took place on 15 August 2014.During the project, changes to scope and conditions led to the Consortium submitting Change Order Requests (“CORs”)as entitled under the contract. The Consortium, Chevron and Chevron’s agent KBR Inc. remain in negotiations in relation tothe validity and valuation ofsome of the CORs.As at 31 December 2016, contract debtors includes an amount of$1.15 billionin relation to the Gorgon Contract.CIMIC’s share of the totalamount under negotiation isapproximately $1.9 billion. CIMIC is of the viewthat it remains entitled to that amount plus interest (being an amount exceeding $0.5 billionthat will continue to accrueuntil paid)and costs (“Total Entitlement”). CIMIC has only recognised revenue equal to the costs incurred in respect of the Gorgon Contract in accordance with the relevant accounting standardsresulting in an amount ofapproximately 50%of the Total Entitlement ($1.15billion) being recognised in contract debtors at 31 December 2016.Although negotiations continue, the Consortium formally issued a Notice of Dispute to Chevron pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Gorgon Contract on 9 February 2016. That Notice required the Consortium to enter into a further prescribed negotiation process which, if unsuccessful, may lead to a private arbitration.The parties have moved into an arbitration prescribed by the contract.As the Gorgon Contract does not specify a time limit within which the process must be determined, there can be no certainty as to when the matter will be finalised.In addition, and in order to further pursue its entitlement under the Gorgon Contract, on 20 August 2016 CIMIC announced that it had commenced proceedings in the United States against Chevron CorporationInc., KBR Inc. and related companies. We focused on recognition of revenue and recovery of contract debtors including recovery of Gorgon Contract contract debtorsas key audit matters due to the number and type of estimation events over the course of a contract life, the unique nature of individual contract termsleading to complex and judgemental revenue recognition from contracts and the judgement involved in evaluating the probability of recovery of contract debtors.•For the sample of contracts selected the following procedures were performed, amongst others:- we obtained an understanding of the contract terms and conditions to evaluate whether thesewere reflected in management’s estimate of forecast costs and revenue;- we tested a sample of costs incurred to date and agreed these to supporting documentation;- we assessed theforecast costs to complete through discussion and challenge of project managers and finance personnel;- we tested contractual entitlement for changes, variations and claims recognised within contract revenueto supporting documentation and by reference to the underlying contract;- we evaluated significant exposures to liquidated damages for late delivery of contract works;- we evaluated contract performance in the period since year end to audit opinion date to confirm management’s year end revenue recognitionjudgements; and- we evaluated the probability of recovery of outstanding amounts by reference to the status of contract negotiations, historical recoveries and other supporting documentation.•In respect of the Gorgon Contract, the following procedures wereperformed:- we evaluated the probability and timing of recovery of outstanding amounts by reference to historical recoveries, the status of contract negotiations, Notice of Dispute, legal proceedings and other supporting documentation;- we made enquiries ofinternal legal counsel and management appointed external legal counsel in respect of the current status of negotiations;- we read documents lodged with United States courts commencing legal proceedings against Chevron Corporation and KBRInc.;and- we assessed the appropriateness of the relevant disclosures in the financial statements.Recoverability of carrying value of investment in and loans receivable from HLG ContractingLLCRefer to Note 26 ‘Joint Venture Entities – HLG Contracting LLC(“HLG”)’and Note 8 ‘Trade and other receivables’.Included in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2016 is the equity accounted investment in HLG at a carrying value of $366.5 millionand loans (including interest) receivable from HLG totalling $1.04billion. The assessment of the recoverable amount of the Group’s investment in and loans receivable from HLG involves significant judgement in respect of assumptions such as discount rates, current work in hand, future contract wins and the recoverability of certain legacy contract receivables, as well as economic assumptions such as growth rate and foreign currency exchange rates.The recoverable amount of the Group’s investment in and loans receivable from HLG was a key audit matterdue to the significant judgement involved in forecasting future cash flows and the selection of assumptions.In conjunction with valuation experts, our procedures included, amongst others:•Evaluating the ‘value in use’ discounted cash flow model developed by management to assess the recoverable amount of the investment and the loans receivable, including critically assessing the following assumptions:- discount rate; - forecast cash flowsand capital expenditure;- forecast recoverability of certain legacy contract receivables;- terminal growth rate; and- foreign currency exchange rates.Where possible we corroborated market related assumptions by reference to external data.•Testing on a sample basis the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow models.•Assessingthe historical accuracy of forecasting of the Group in relation to HLG.•Performing sensitivity analysis on a number of assumptions, including the deferral of cash receipts on certain legacy contract receivables and on revenue assumptions.•Assessingthe appropriateness of the relevant disclosures in the financial statements.182Carrying value of goodwillRefer to Note 15 ‘Intangibles’.Included in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2016 is goodwill relating to Servicesof $360.5million, Miningand Mineral Processingof $98.1 million, and Construction of $455.4million. Management hasassessedthe recoverable amount of the goodwillrelating to Constructionutilising discounted cash flow models which incorporate significant judgement inrespect of assumptions such asdiscount rates andfuture contract wins, as well as economic assumptions such as growth rates.We focused on this area as a key audit matter due to the judgement involved in forecasting future cash flows and the selection of assumptions.In conjunction withvaluation experts, our procedures included, amongst others:•Evaluating the ‘value in use’ discounted cash flow model developed by management to assess the recoverable amount of the goodwill, including critically assessing the following assumptions:- discount rate;- forecast cash flowsand capital expenditure;- growth rates by reference to recent bid wins and pipelineof prospective projects; and- terminal growth rate.Where possible we corroborated market related assumptions by reference to external data.•Testing on a sample basis the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow model and agreeing relevant data to the latest Board approved forecasts.•Assessing the historical accuracy of forecasting of the Group in relation to cash flows of cash generating units.•Performing sensitivity analysis on a number of assumptions, including discount rates and forecast profitability.•Assessingthe appropriateness of the relevant disclosures in the financial statements.Acquisition of UGL LimitedRefer to Note 30 ‘Acquisitions, disposals and discontinued operations’. On 10 October 2016 the Group made an unconditional cash off-market takeover offer for all of the shares it did not own in UGL Limited (“UGL”) for $3.15 per share. On 24 November 2016 the Group increased its ownership interest inUGLto over 50% and thereby gained controlat that date.The purchase considerationpaid for UGL was $262.1million.As at 31 December 2016, the Group’s ownership interest in UGL was 95%. Accounting for this transaction is complex, requiring management to exercise judgement to determine the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, includingcontracts anddetermining the allocation of purchase consideration to goodwill and separately identifiable intangible assets such as customer contracts.We focussed on this area as a key audit matter due to the size of the acquisition and the judgementinvolved in accounting for the transaction.In conjunction with valuation experts, ourprocedures included, amongst others:•Reading the bidder’s statementand target’s statementfor the unconditional cash off-market takeover offerto understand key terms and conditions.•Critically evaluating the fair value model developed by management to determine the value of UGL’s intangible customer contracts to the Group. •Assessing the reliability of third party valuations utilised by managementin their determination of fair value of acquired assets and liabilitiesincluding provisions for loss making contracts. •Performing testing on certain fair value adjustments,including tocontracts, withinthe provisional fair value accounting for the transaction. •Assessing the appropriateness of the relevant disclosures in the financial statements.Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Executive Chairman and CEO’s Review, Directors’ Report and Additional Information within the Company’s annual report for the year ended31 December 2016, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: •Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. •Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. •Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. •Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. •Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. •Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report.We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current periodand are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.Report on the Remuneration ReportOpinion on the Remuneration ReportWe have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 29to 42of the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: •Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. •Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. •Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. •Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. •Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. •Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report.We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current periodand are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.Report on the Remuneration ReportOpinion on the Remuneration ReportWe have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 29to 42of the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2016.
