Chairman and CEOs’ Review
We have taken decisive action to position the Company to take advantage of market conditions
and for future growth.
Andrew Wood and John Grill AO
The 2014 financial year was a difficult year for WorleyParsons as
we faced challenges in a number of our key markets. WorleyParsons
is one of the most globally diverse companies in our international
peer group, with a network of 157 offices in 46 countries. This
global diversification has been an important factor in assisting
WorleyParsons to offset challenging conditions in a number of key
markets, particularly Australia, by capitalizing on opportunities in
better performing markets.
To address these market conditions and to ensure we maintain an
intense focus on our customers and project delivery, a number of
actions were taken during the year. We simplified the corporate
structure including a reorganization of the business into three
business lines, refreshed the leadership team, reduced overhead
costs, removed 1,700 overhead positions and initiated programs to
enable our staff to deliver greater customer satisfaction. We have
refocused our strategy to more aggressively leverage our broad and
deep technical capabilities and diverse geographic presence.
2 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
Financial Performance
The Group reported an underlying net profit after tax of $263.4
million, excluding $35.4 million pre-tax restructuring costs and the
net fair value gain on acquisition of associates of $11.4 million,
down 18.2% on our 2013 underlying result. This reduction
was due primarily to a significant decline in the contribution
from the Australian business across all customer sectors and
poor commercial performance on a project in Cord, our Canadian
construction and fabrication operation. Margins remained under
pressure although they improved significantly in the second half to
a three–year high. It is pleasing to note that the Group delivered an
impressive operating cash flow of $550.1 million and our balance
sheet remains strong.
The Board has resolved to pay a final dividend of 51.0 cents per
share 20.5% franked, taking the total dividends for the year to 85.0
cents per share, down 8.1% from 92.5 cents per share last year.
As the 2014 financial result was below the threshold for vesting,
no Combined Incentive was awarded to Executives.
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
There is nothing more important to WorleyParsons than the safety
of our people. To this end, the Board and management continue to
strive to achieve the goal of Zero Harm across all countries in which
we operate. This year, our Total Recordable Case Frequency Rate
reduced to 0.10 compared with 0.13 per 200,000 manhours in the
2013 financial year. notwithstanding this improvement, we are
deeply saddened to report that we had a colleague aboard Malaysia
Airlines flight MH370. This loss has been deeply felt through the
organization, particularly in our Kuala Lumpur operations.
Motor vehicle travel remains the greatest risk to the safety of
our employees. Our attention on this area has resulted in a 30%
reduction in vehicle crashes in the last 12 months. We continue our
focus on our 9 key safe driving behaviors as we strive to embed
these behaviors into every area of our lives.
Our New Future
On 1 May 2014, WorleyParsons reorganized into three business
lines – Services, Major Projects and Improve. Each of these business
lines has full accountability and responsibility for customer
satisfaction, generating sustainable earnings and providing a
satisfactory level of return on capital invested. In addition, each
business line is responsible for providing and sourcing the optimal
level of operational support.
Group functions at the corporate level were streamlined with a lean
corporate office responsible for strategy, governance activities and
improved allocation of capital.
The Development group has implemented formal processes to
harness innovation, to manage investment in the business and to
nurture new ventures.
During the 2015 financial year, we will focus on embedding
behaviors that will support our restructure and future success.
We will continue to simplify our business processes and will be
implementing a change program to:
• Refocus the organization on having an obsession with making our
customers successful
• Capture our knowledge and share that knowledge to find better
solutions for our customers’ problems
• Build a strong culture of performance and accountability to
achieve: “Delivering what we promise”.
Strategically, our immediate focus is on getting better at what
we do and prudently managing costs. We are more aggressively
pursuing growth from our core, both into new geographies and
new service offerings. In addition we are developing new ventures
aligned with and complementary to our existing business. Two new
ventures are being developed - our advisory business, Advisian,
and Digital Enterprise. We are pleased to announce two key
appointments. Iain Ross has been appointed as the CEO of Digital
Enterprise to accelerate and build on the work done by Graeme
Henderson and his team. As previously announced, Dennis Finn has
been appointed as the CEO of Advisian. Dennis joins us from PwC
and commences on 1 September 2014.
Historically, WorleyParsons has delivered above average total
shareholder returns; however, we recognize that in recent times our
total shareholder returns have declined along with our performance
relative to our peer group. The actions taken in the second half of
the 2014 financial year, including the refocusing of our strategy
and investment review framework via the Development group, seek
to return us to satisfactory levels of total shareholder return.
People
We are a professional services business with our employees as our
most important asset. We rely on our people to meet our customers’
needs. Our people continue to learn and adapt to respond to the
changing needs of our customers and the dynamics of our markets.
We are pleased that the wide range of skills and deep expertise
we have in the business, spread across so many countries and
offices, has enabled us to respond quickly and competently to our
customers’ changing needs.
In establishing our future, we have had to make some difficult
decisions across the business to position the Company to take
advantage of market conditions. This was necessary to ensure the
Company remains sustainable and profitable for the long term.
We would like to express both the Board and Group Leadership
Teams’ appreciation for the commitment and contribution to
WorleyParsons by our people over this past year, particularly during
the period of transition to the new organization.

Ethics and Corporate Responsibility
We recognize that WorleyParsons’ reputation for honesty,
integrity and ethical dealings is one of its key business assets
and a critical factor in ensuring the Company’s continued
success. All of WorleyParsons’ people continue to strive to
maintain the standard of ethical behavior expected by our
customers, suppliers and shareholders.
The Company continues to refine its corporate responsibility
efforts across all the parts of the world in which we do
business, in an effort to ensure that our programs are as
effective and efficient as possible in delivering value to
the communities we support. The Corporate Responsibility
section of this Annual Report provides greater detail on
these activities.
Corporate Governance
The Board remains confident that the Company has in place a
strong corporate governance system, and that this system is well
maintained, reviewed and updated. Our governance policies and
procedures are benchmarked against those of other comparable
companies to ensure that the appropriate standards are maintained.
The Group maintains a comprehensive, independent, internal audit
program that reports directly to the Audit and Risk Committee. This
function not only focuses on specific areas of interest, but provides
an annual assurance to the Audit and Risk Committee of the
adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls.
The Corporate Governance Statement 2014 can be found on the
Company’s website.
Conclusion
We would like to thank the WorleyParsons Group Leadership Team,
and the Board of Directors, for their excellent work and contribution
in what has been a challenging year for WorleyParsons. We believe
that the decisive action and hard work undertaken during the year,
positions the Group to take advantage of the growth opportunities
available to us.

Liwan Gas Project – a collaboration success story
the liwan Gas project is the first deepwater gas project in offshore china, and is currently operated by Husky oil
China Limited (HOCL) and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).
Located in the South China Sea approximately 300 km southeast of Hong Kong, Liwan has taken approximately
seven years to develop from discovery to first production and is considered one of the world’s fastest
developments for large-scale deepwater gas projects.
Since project award in 2009, WorleyParsons and INTECSEAs’ integrated team has showcased the Company’s
capability to integrate the right technical experts from around the globe to deliver results for
customers from wellhead to market.
WorleyParsons and INTECSEAs’ work on this benchmark project has involved extensive
collaboration by multiple offices, with work shared across four countries (china, Malaysia,
Australia and the USA).
The Liwan development consists of three natural gas fields: Liwan 3-1, Liuhua
34-2 and Liuhua 29-1, which share a subsea production system, subsea pipeline
transportation and onshore gas processing infrastructure.
Work began with the feeD, and included highlights such as an 80 km long tieback,
first use of recirculation (gas recycle) as part of primary
operating condition and design of the largest float-
over, high-deck to be installed in offshore china.
First gas was produced at the Liwan 3-1 field in
March 2014, and the Liuhua 34-2 field (which is
currently being developed in parallel with the 3-1
field), is scheduled to be tied into the liwan subsea
infrastructure in the second half of 2014.
the liwan Gas project is one of many examples of
successful collaboration amongst the company’s offices
that have delivered for our customers.

Towards Zero Harm in a high risk
environment — the Bakubung Platinum
Mining Project
the Bakubung platinum Mine1 project for Wesizwe platinum in South Africa
highlights how HSe focused leadership can contribute to preventing harm in a high risk
environment.
this long term project has been underway since 2006, with Worleyparsons responsible for
engineering and project management in both the consult and Deliver stages.
the consult stage involved a pre-feasibility study and a bankable feasibility study in
2006/7. the Deliver/epcM stage has been underway since 2011, with phase 1 involving the
establishment of access routes, fencing, a pollution control dam, two greenfield vertical shafts (the
main shaft and a ventilation shaft), surface infrastructure and underground development. Work has
progressed on schedule, with phase 1 of the surface infrastructure successfully completed and the
main 8.5m diameter shaft and the 7.5m diameter ventilation shaft sunk to a depth of 642m and 694m
below collar, respectively.
Across all stages of the project, HSe has remained at the core and the team is empowered to drive HSe in
all activities. it is this mind-set that has led the team to introduce a number of engineering and operational
improvements on the project in addition to behavioral based training and supervisor development.
Worleyparsons is also taking a leadership position to help improve safety standards within the South African
mining industry generally. the project team has embarked upon a number of industry wide safety initiatives
designed to benefit all operators. our team is proactively engaged in industry wide HSe focus groups to promote
the adoption of mining techniques that significantly reduce exposure to dangerous work fronts and the development
and adoption of safer tools and processes. Worleyparsons also leads a customer and contractor ceo forum to share and
discuss lessons from HSe incidents.
the HSe focused leadership on the project and within the industry has proved critical to driving towards Zero Harm .
1 The Bakubung Platinum Mine is located near Sun City in the North West province of South Africa.

Sulphur
Sulphur related design and technology have long been core
services in which Worleyparsons is recognized as a world leader for
large and small projects. our expertise has been built up over many
years providing a unique total sulphur management capability.
We have designed over 600 sulphur recovery plants worldwide
using in-house technologies and those of alliance partners and
offer a complete range of sulphur recovery, including standard and
oxygen-enriched claus technology, tail gas treating technology
and sulphur degassing, and are able to meet the most stringent
environmental standards.
Standardization
increasingly, owners across the oil and gas industry are employing
standardization opportunities to create long term efficiency and
reduce development investment. Standardization can come in many
forms through the project development cycle including:
• Replicated design
• Smart plug-and-play designs to minimize waste and to
aid flexibility
• Creating standard modularized building block solutions
• Lean project delivery philosophy
• Standardization of equipment across an asset
• Standardization of supply chain relationships
• Standardization of operational processes.
to achieve the objectives of standardization, a rigorous
project management structure, strong leadership and a
commitment to collaboration from the owner, contractors
and suppliers are essential.
Collaboration meets innovation: Oil Spill Tracking Buoys
the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010 highlighted that very little was known about how oil spills spread. Accurately tracking a plume
means clean-up efforts are coordinated and the threats to ecosystems and environmental integrity reduced. Analysis has shown that oil
drifts along the surface of ocean water at 97% of current speed, but only at a fraction of the wind speed. the buoys deployed during the
disaster sat too proud in the water and were driven the wrong way by wind.
Worleyparsons devised an innovative way to accurately track spills with the oil Spill tracking Buoy (oStB) and therefore allow the rescue
teams to react more quickly to limit the impact on both the environment and communities. the oStB tracks a surface oil spill by limiting
the buoy’s movements to the metocean conditions found at the air-sea interface, in the upper 0.5 m of the water column. this novel
solution required material selection and manufacture, ocean validation and telecommunication engineers to come together to produce a
device which is largely underwater but can continue to communicate in real-time with satellites. the oStBs can be safely deployed from oil
platforms or via helicopter and weighing only 7 kg, an oStB can be deployed and recovered by a single person.
the oStB is a perfect example of when collaboration meets innovation.
“ We challenged WorleyParsons to develop an accurate cost effective
and flexible solution for tracking oil spills. The challenge was
accepted and the solution delivered was a new benchmark in
Oil Spill Tracking Buoys. Either hire or purchase, deployable
from significant heights, long signal transfer durations and
designed to accurately emulate the movement of oil on
the water, the solution was more than acceptable.”

North Rankin Redevelopment Project – project delivery in joint venture
The North Rankin Redevelopment Project involved the installation of a new gas compression platform, North Rankin B (NRB), to sit adjacent
to the existing North Rankin A (NRA) platform. Connected by two 100m bridges, both platforms operate as a single integrated facility
known as the North Rankin Complex for the recovery of approximately five trillion cubic feet of low pressure reserves from the North
Rankin and perseus fields.
The project involved the development of NRB with three 27 MW gas compression trains, low pressure separators, utilities, power
generation and accommodation and was executed concurrently with a significant life extension program for the existing NRA platform.
Much of the work was of a pioneering nature. the project required innovative approaches in engineering, fabrication, transportation and
installation, including several world firsts. installation of the 24,250 tonne topsides was undertaken using the float-over method. this
involved the tallest and second heaviest float-over installation in open water, performed by steering the world’s largest barge between the
jacket legs and gently lowering the topsides into place.
the project involved a worldwide effort, drawing on people and resources from many countries. project management was performed in
perth and was extensively supported in the design and procurement and construction phases by engineers from the eos joint venture, a
50/50 joint venture between Worleyparsons and KBR. Hook-up and commissioning services were provided by transfield Worley, a 50/50
joint venture between Worleyparsons and transfield Services.
As Western Australia’s largest single producer of domestic gas and one of the world’s largest producers of LNG, it was vital for the North
West Shelf Project that NRA continued to operate and deliver gas to capacity throughout the 4 ½ year offshore construction period.
Drawing upon expertise from across the world and led by the project management team in perth, the project had a heavy emphasis on
engineering and safety in design considerations associated with constructing, installing and commissioning the new platform, while
maintaining safety, operations and production from the existing facility. Successful start-up of the dual platform complex was
achieved in October 2013.

Worleyparsons Annual Report 2014 43
Operating and Financial review
1 OPeratiOns
1.1 Overview
WorleyParsons is a professional services provider to the
resources, energy and industrial sectors.
During the year ended 30 June 2014 (FY2014), we reported in
three customer sector groups, each of which focused on
customers involved in the following activities:
• Hydrocarbons – the extraction and processing of oil and gas;
• Minerals, Metals & Chemicals – the extraction and processing of
mineral resources and the manufacture of chemicals; and
• Infrastructure – projects related to water, the environment,
transport, ports and site remediation and decommissioning; and
all forms of power generation, transmission and distribution.
On 1 May 2014, after an in-depth review of operations, we
reorganized our business into three business lines of Major
Projects, Services and Improve along with the new Development
group and corporate functions. The review and the restructure
were aimed at better positioning the Company for future
earnings growth by improving delivery and offering a more
competitive value proposition for our customers. From 1 July
2014, we will report in these three business lines.
Additional information on the business lines, Development group
and corporate functions is provided in the Corporate Profile
section of this Annual Report.
Our customers include multi-national oil and gas, resources and
chemicals companies as well as more regionally and locally
focused companies, national oil companies and government
owned utilities operating in the sectors described above.
The diversity of our business in terms of geography, industry
and service offering is a fundamental strength. We operate in 46
countries, with no country representing more than 30% of
aggregated revenue.
In order to provide local delivery to our customers, we employed
35,600 people, in 157 offices located in 46 countries.
1.2 Business model
Our business is based on our people providing key services to
our customers from within our three business lines. We strive to
empower our people to support our customers in being
successful. We support our people with our business procedures
and systems and generate earnings by charging their time spent
performing professional services to our customers.
Aggregated revenue and profit: Our sources of revenue and
profit are diversified and revenue and profit are generated from
a large number of customers. As a result, we are not dependent
on any one of our customers for a significant portion of our
revenue and profit. Aggregated revenue excludes revenue that
has nil margin (typically relates to procurement revenue where
WorleyParsons undertakes procurement on our customers’ behalf
with no exposure to financing costs or warranty obligations).
We believe the disclosure of revenue attributable to
associates provides additional information in relation to the
financial performance of the Group and include this within
aggregated revenue.
Costs: Our two largest costs are: staff costs; and administration
costs, which includes office lease costs. We also have a
significant amount of pass through costs that are reimbursed
by our customers.
Assets and liabilities: The significant items on our balance
sheet are mainly project related, such as trade receivables,
unbilled receivables, provisions and borrowings. We also
hold a number of intangible assets generated through
previous acquisitions.
Our business is not capital intensive. Our contract terms typically
require our customers to pay us within 30 days of receiving our
invoice, while, in a number of our locations, we must pay
expenses (e.g. staff salaries) at shorter intervals. This time
differential makes up the majority of our capital requirements.
44 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
1.3 Review of operations
The statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) for FY2014 was
$249.1 million for the 12 months to 30 June 2014. Underlying
NPAT was $263.4 million, down 18.2% on the previous
corresponding period and was in line with guidance issued in
November 2013.
Aggregated revenue and NPAT were down when compared to
FY2013 primarily due to the downturn in the Australian
business, previously the major contributor to the Company’s
earnings, and additional project costs in WorleyParsonsCord
experienced in the first half. WorleyParsonsCord’s performance in
the second half improved significantly with these legacy project
issues having no further impact on its results.
The reorganization we announced in April is essentially complete
and we are significantly progressed in achieving the objectives
we set ourselves – that is to simplify the corporate structure,
reduce overhead costs and enable our staff to deliver greater
customer satisfaction. We have refocused our strategy to more
aggressively leverage our broad and deep technical capabilities
and our diverse geographic presence.
Approximately 1,200 overhead roles were removed in the second
half as part of the organizational restructure announced in April
2014. As foreshadowed, this resulted in a reorganisation charge
of $35.4 million before tax. This does not include the impact of
the previously announced reduction of 500 overhead roles in the
first half.
The Company employed 35,600 people at the end of July 2014,
down from 39,800 people at the same time last year.
Operating cash flow for the period increased to $550.1 million,
compared to $443.5 million in the previous corresponding period.
The Company’s gearing ratio at 30 June 2014 was 19.5%.
there are three measures that are key tO understanding Our results:
1. Aggregated revenue
2. EBIT (earnings before interest and tax)
3.

Infrastructure was impacted by the downturn in resource project
activity in the Australian business. The European business
suffered from a cancellation of a nuclear project in the first half.
In addition, earnings declined in the European and Middle East

1.4 Significant changes in operations during FY2014
In April 2014, the Company announced a reorganization of the
business aimed at simplifying the corporate structure, reducing
overhead costs and enabling our staff to deliver greater
customer satisfaction.
On 1 May 2014, we reorganized into three business lines –
Services, Major Projects and Improve. Each of our business lines
has full accountability and responsibility for customer
satisfaction, generating sustainable earnings and providing a
satisfactory level of return on capital invested. In addition, each
business line is responsible for providing and sourcing the
optimal level of operation support.
We nurture new business ventures through our Development
group. Two businesses are currently being supported; Advisian
and Digital Enterprise.
Group functions at the corporate level were streamlined with our
leaner corporate office responsible for strategy, improved capital
allocation and corporate governance.
Segment performance
Hydrocarbons
The Hydrocarbons sector reported aggregated revenue of
$5,372 million and EBIT of $627 million, lower than the previous
corresponding period (FY2013: aggregated revenue of $5,493
million and EBIT $654 million).
The Hydrocarbons sector delivered reduced earnings in all
regions except for Europe, where earnings increased through the
full year contribution from Rosenberg WorleyParsons in Norway
and Sub-Saharan Africa due to a major project in that region. The
Australian market continued to contract due to a reduction in
project activity. Despite the improvement in performance of the
WorleyParsonsCord business in the second half, full-year
earnings declined compared with the prior year due to lower
project activity and the poor commercial performance of a
project in the first half.
Professional services EBIT margins were maintained but the
construction and fabrication EBIT margin declined by 0.7%. The
overall Hydrocarbons EBIT margin declined by 0.2%.

by 0.7%.
Minerals and metals customers continued to limit capital
expenditure and focus on productivity improvements. Capital
expenditure in this industry has reduced significantly (down
nearly 30% from the 2012 peak) with the investment focus
shifting largely to brownfield projects.
The result was particularly impacted by the decline in earnings
from the Australian and Latin American businesses. The
chemicals subsector continued to grow, as part of our
diversification strategy in this sector.

2.2 Dividends
2.3 Significant changes in WorleyParsons’ Financial Position
Our practice has been that approximately 60% to 70% of
WorleyParsons’ full year net profit after tax will be available for
distribution as dividends, with the balance being retained for
funding ongoing growth. Dividends are franked to the extent
franking credits are available. Our directors have resolved to pay
a final dividend of 51.0 cents per fully paid ordinary share
franked to 20.5%. As a result, 79.6% of our full year undelying
net profit after tax for FY2014 will be distributed to
shareholders as a dividend. This compares with distributing
70.8% of our full year underlying net profit after tax for FY2013.
during FY2014
Significant changes in WorleyParsons’ Financial Position during
FY2014 include:
• Refinancing of US$520 million through a US Bank Syndication
which led to an increase in the average maturity from 3.8 years
as at 30 June 2013 to 4.2 years as at 30 June 2014 (no funds
were drawn under these facilities on 30 June 2014); and
• Transfer of Exmouth Power Station to assets and liabilities
held for sale.
WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014 47
2.4 Future commitments
3.2 Outlook
There are two types of future commitments which do not appear
on our balance sheet and are relevant to understanding our
financial position:
• Operating leases
• Operating expenditure commitments.
In general, we lease the various office buildings from which we
operate, rather than owning those buildings. “Operating leases”
refers to those leases.
In addition, we are generally licensed to use software and also
lease various items of computer hardware that we use in
operating our business, rather than owning the software or
computer hardware ourselves. We refer to our commitments to
pay software license and equipment lease fees as operating
expenditure commitments.
These future commitments represent approximately 8.9% of
our expenses.
3 Business strateGY, OutLOOk anD risks
3.1 Business strategy
We develop our business strategy using an iterative process at
each of the key levels of our business such that we have:
• A Group strategy
• Sector strategies
• Business plans to guide the implementation of our sector
strategies at a business line level.
Our Group strategy describes markets in which we intend to
invest to create sustainable competitive advantage (leading to
greater market share and/or higher margins) and deliver on our
corporate vision.
Our sector level strategies are a detailed view of these markets
and are typically broken down by Hydrocarbons, Minerals, Metals
& Chemicals and Infrastructure sectors and their corresponding
major sub sectors (e.g. LNG, iron ore).
At the business line level, we translate our sector strategies into
business plans to deliver on the intent of the sector strategies as
applicable to them. Our business plans map specific near and
medium term opportunities or portfolios of opportunities to the
strategic themes, to provide clear and tangible targets for the
individual business leaders to pursue, win and execute.
Overall, our key markets continue to present challenges, including
increasing competition and customers delaying the making of
commitments to new developments. We believe we have taken
appropriate steps during FY2014 to realign and position the
Group to address these challenging market conditions.
Strategically, our immediate focus is on getting better at what
we do and prudently managing costs. We are more aggressively
pursuing growth from our core, both into new geographies and
new service offerings. In addition we are developing new
ventures aligned with and complementary to our existing
business. Two new ventures are being developed - our advisory
business, Advisian, and Digital Enterprise. We will invest to
accelerate the growth of these new ventures and are progressing
acquisition opportunities.
We expect global capital expenditure levels in Hydrocarbons for
FY2015 to be flat compared with FY2014, with capital largely
being directed to completing projects already underway.
We believe our customers will need to initiate new projects in
the medium term to maintain production, providing growth
opportunities for WorleyParsons. We have recently been awarded
three significant contracts, which for confidentiality reasons we
are not yet able to announce, that underpin our confidence in
our outlook.
We expect the trend of decreasing Minerals and Metals capital
expenditure to continue for the next 12 months, but expect a
recovery in the medium term. Chemicals industry capital
expenditure is expected to remain strong within the US and we
expect fertilizer demand will continue to provide increasing
opportunities globally.
The outlook for resource-related infrastructure capital
expenditure is linked to the outlook for the Hydrocarbons and
Minerals, Metals & Chemicals sectors. Capital investment in
non resource infrastructure has a stronger outlook where
WorleyParsons’ expertise, particularly in environmental services,
water and power generation and transmission, is being deployed
to capture the opportunities in this market.
We have taken decisive action to improve margins and ensure
the business is responding to market conditions and our
customers’ needs. We are focused on realizing our objective of
providing our shareholders a satisfactory return on their
investments. We are confident in our prospects based on our
competitive position, our diversified operations and our strong
financial capacity.
3.3 Risks
Achievement of our medium and long term prospects could be
impacted by a number of risks. Those risks could, individually
or together, have an adverse effect on achievement of
those prospects.
Set out below is an overview of a number of key risks that we
face in seeking to achieve our medium and long term prospects.
The risks are not set out in any particular order and do not
comprise of every risk we face in conducting our business or
every risk that may affect the achievement of those prospects.
Rather, they are the most significant of the risks that we believe
we should be monitoring and seeking to mitigate or otherwise
manage at this point in time.
Health and safety risk: Our business sometimes requires our
people to be in high risk geographies, travel long distances by
road, be in close proximity to complex operating equipment and
be engaged in construction and operating activities. There is the
risk of injury to, or the loss of life of, our people. To seek to
mitigate this risk, we have a OneWay™ framework which includes
the expectations that every one of our people must meet with
respect to health and safety. OneWay™ expectations are
supported by our business processes and we use them in
assessing our performance; however, the risk exists that the
failure to comply with such processes, customer health and
safety requirements and applicable regulations could expose us
to losses and liability.
48 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
Operating and Financial review continued Organizational change risk: This is the risk that our
organization will not achieve its aims of simplifying our corporate
structure, reducing overhead costs and enabling our staff to
deliver greater customer satisfaction. To seek to mitigate this
risk, we are implementing a comprehensive change program to
improve the way we do business and to enable our staff to
support customers.
Business interruption risk: As a global company, we are heavily
reliant on computer, information and communications technology
and related systems to operate efficiently and securely. We also
operate at times in locations subject to natural disasters, civil
unrest and military conflict. We seek to manage this risk through
business continuity and disaster recovery systems and planning
using a Ready, Response and Recovery (R3) methodology.
Partner risk: We operate through a number of joint ventures and
partnering arrangements. The success of these businesses
depends on the satisfactory performance of our partnership
including meeting obligations. The failure of our partnerships
could impact our reputation and financial results. We seek to
mitigate this risk by conducting due diligence in relation to
potential partners, using appropriate setup, clear responsibilities
and operating principles, utilizing steering committees to
maintain the health of the relationship throughout the life of the
arrangement, responding to issues as they arise or are identified,
conducting compliance reviews and regularly monitoring the
performance of these partnerships.
3.4 Unreasonable prejudice
We have omitted information regarding: (1) our internal budgets
and internal forecasts; and (2) details of our business strategy,
on the basis that if we had included that information, doing so
would have been likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to us.
3.5 Forward Looking Statements
This report contains forward looking statements, including
statements of current intention, opinion and expectation
regarding the Company’s present and future operations, possible
future events and future financial prospects. While these
statements reflect expectations at the date of this report, they
are, by their nature, not certain and are susceptible to change.
WorleyParsons makes no representation, assurance or guarantee
as to the accuracy of or likelihood of fulfilling any such forward
looking statements (whether express or implied), and except as
required by applicable law or the Australian Securites Exchange
Listing Rules, disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly
update such forward looking statements.
Reputation risk: We rely on the strength of our reputation to
help win and retain work, attract and retain employees, secure
lines of credit and gain access to capital. Reputation can be
damaged in a number of ways including through unethical
business practices, poor project outcomes, negative media and
not meeting the market’s expectation of our financial
performance. We use a range of strategies and actions to seek to
mitigate this risk including training in our Code of Conduct for
our people globally, an ethics helpline and our enterprise
management systems.
Strategy risk: Strategy risk is the risk of failing to develop and
implement an effective business strategy. Failure to do so may
over time lead to a loss of market share, damage to our
reputation and negatively impact our financial performance.
To seek to mitigate this risk, we have a strategy development
process which includes the development of multi-horizon,
multi-year strategic plans. We develop and implement strategic
initiatives and review our strategy during each year, making
adjustments to it where appropriate.
Project delivery risk: Our execution of projects and
assignments involves professional judgment regarding the
planning, design, development, construction and operation of
often complex operating facilities. While our customers generally
retain liability for consequential damages and while we have
adopted a range of insurance, risk management and mitigation
programs designed to seek to reduce potential liabilities, a
catastrophic event resulting from the services we have
provided could result in professional or product liability, warranty
or other claims against us, as well as reputational damage.
Competition risk: Our markets are competitive and this
competition can place downward pressure on prices and margins.
If we are unable to compete effectively in our markets, we run
the risk of losing market share. We seek to mitigate this risk by
seeking to target the projects where we have a competitive
advantage, manage our costs and margins and use low cost
delivery centers to execute certain aspects of our work.
Demand risk: The volatile and cyclical nature of commodity
prices and demand for our customers’ goods and services means
that the demand for our services can likewise be cyclical. In
addition, the preparedness of our customers to spend capital can
sometimes vary markedly over relatively short periods, resulting
in quite rapid and/or sustained changes in demand for our
services. We have a number of strategies and processes in place
to seek to mitigate this risk including retaining a proportion of
personnel on short notice contracts, seeking contractual
protection for project demobilization, particularly for projects
that require a significant in-country mobilization of our people,
and sharing work across locations.
Legal and contractual risk: We are, from time to time, engaged
in disputes with third parties, some of which involve litigation
and disputes over contractual terms. The outcomes of these
disputes can be difficult to predict and may cause a material
negative impact on any one year’s financial performance. We
seek to manage this risk through our contract review and risk
screening processes and active dispute management.

advisory and program management services are being provided

families affected and our prayers are with them.”

helping the schools set up a library. Our personnel have also

As announced in April 2014, the Group has been restructured on the basis of
three business lines and will report as such effective from 1 July 2014. During
FY2014 there were executive management changes in anticipation of the

before taxation were incurred in this restructure.

Since the end of the financial year, the directors have resolved to pay a
dividend of 51.0 cents per fully paid ordinary share, including exchangeable

In accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets, the aggregate amount of the proposed final dividend
of $125.7 million is not recognized as a liability as at 30 June 2014.

The Group recognizes that responsible, sustainable corporate performance is
essential to the long term success of its business. The Company again
completed a response for the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in 2014,
detailing its energy consumption and measures implemented to assist both
the Group to reduce its energy consumption and the Group’s customers to
achieve more sustainable project solutions utilizing methodologies under the
Group’s EcoNomics™ initiative. The data collection and analysis under the CDP
have stimulated energy and carbon reduction measures in many of the
Group’s offices around the world. The Company also completed a CDP
response in respect of its water use for the period 2012/2013.
The Company is registered under the National Greenhouse and Energy
Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act) as the controlling corporation for the Group as
prescribed by section 12 of the NGER Act. The Company lodged its National
Greenhouse Energy Report (NGER Report) for the period 2012/2013 in
October 2013. This NGER Report contained information in relation to the
greenhouse gas emissions, energy production and energy consumption from
the operation of facilities under the operational control of the Group. The
Company intends to lodge its NGER Report for the Group for the period
2013/2014 in October 2014.

During the financial year, Ernst & Young, the Group’s auditor, performed
certain other services in addition to its statutory audit duties. Total non-audit
services provided by the external auditor amounted to $1,273,404.
The Board has adopted a policy governing the provision of non-audit services
by the external auditor. 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 the non-audit services is compatible with the
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Act. The
directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor
did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Act for the
following reasons:
• all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee
to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor;
and
• the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.
• none of the services undermines the general principles relating to auditor

eNViRoNmeNtal ReGUlatioN
In the majority of the Group’s business operations, it does not have
responsibility for obtaining environmental licenses. The Group typically assists
its customers, who usually own or operate plant and equipment, with the
management of their environmental responsibilities, rather than having those
responsibilities itself. However, the Group has environmental responsibilities
in terms of compliance with environmental controls and in exercising
reasonable care and skill in its design, construction management, operation
and supervising activities. The risks associated with environmental issues are
managed through the Group’s risk management and quality assurance
systems.
It is the Group’s policy to comply with all environmental regulations applicable
to it. The Company confirms, for the purposes of section 299(1)(f) of the
Corporations Act 2001 (Act) that it is not aware of any breaches by the Group
of any environmental regulations under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Australia, or of a State or Territory of Australia.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT coNtiNUeD
1. letteR FRom the chaiRmaN oF the RemUNeRatioN committee
Dear Shareholders
We have maintained our core remuneration principles of fairness, securing a strong link between reward and performance, and encouraging share ownership by
our employees and directors.
We made one change to our remuneration structure, as I foreshadowed in my address at the 2013 Annual General Meeting (AGM). I discuss that change and the
reasons for it below. I also comment on key changes to the Executive team in the context of disclosures in this Remuneration Report.
ONE CHANGE TO OUR REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK
Under the original design of the Combined Incentive, Group NPAT had to pass a ‘gate opener’ of 90% of budget for the Executives to receive any payment.
Non-KMP participants have less line-of-sight to the Group NPAT result, so their gate opener is the budget EBIT for the business unit most relevant to their role.
(Global roles and all of the Group Leadership Team remain subject to Group NPAT).
In FY2013, that resulted in the Executives receiving no incentive. As I mentioned at last year’s AGM, the Board felt that was inappropriate, as did a number of
shareholders. The Board considers it important that, even in difficult markets, our plan participants see the remuneration framework as offering some prospect
of an incentive.
Accordingly, balancing accountability, market factors and performance with the need to retain, attract and reward Executives, the Board changed the gate
opener element of our Combined Incentive Plan, to take effect from FY2014.
There are now two gate openers, which for Executives continue to be both related to Group NPAT. For financial KPIs, the gate opener remains unchanged at
90% of budget. But for non-financial KPIs, the gate opener is set at 75% of budget. Executive’s non-financial KPIs comprise up to 50% of their Combined
Incentive. Non-KMP participants open the gate at 50% of budget for non-financial KPIs. Non-financial goals are aligned to long term Company results via
strategic imperatives. The plan remains rigorous and measurable.
FY2014 INCENTIVES
Having not met 75% of our budget NPAT, we again see zero incentive payments to our incumbent Executives. However, we have paid incentives to others in the
Company, particularly where the business unit has performed well (including new Executives as the “non-KMP” rules applied to them for most of FY2014).
The Board has again agreed a freeze in fees for Non-Executive Directors for FY2015.
ORGANIZATION CHANGES
Andrew Wood announced a reorganization effective from 1 May 2014.
There are two new Executives, Christopher Parker and Ian Wilkinson, and their pay has been set appropriately for their new roles. Simon Holt’s pay increased
from 1 July 2014 reflecting an increase in his responsibilities. The remuneration of other continuing Executives has not increased (Andrew Wood, Randy Karren
and David Steele).
Iain Ross stepped down from the Executive Committee and has subsequently taken up the leadership of our Digital Enterprise new venture. He is no longer
an Executive.
Stuart Bradie resigned and ceased employment effective 30 May 2014. No termination payment was payable.
Barry Bloch left the Company on 30 June 2014. He was paid standard severance, his contractual six-month notice period and his statutory leave entitlements.
I would personally like to thank Mr Bloch for his contribution to the work of the Remuneration Committee.
As the Chairman notes in his Report, Mr JB McNeil resigned from the Board as a Non-Executive Director effective 3 April 2014. No termination payment was paid
to Mr McNeil. The Chairman has thanked Mr McNeil for his contribution to the Board, and I would like to add my thanks for his work on the Remuneration
Committee.
Kind regards
JOHN M GREEN

All remuneration decisions relating to Executives are made by the Board. However, where
appropriate, management is included in Committee and Board discussions.
exteRnal maRket Data anD exteRnal Consultants
Market data is sourced from published reports and independent surveys. Where required, external consultants are engaged by the Board and
Committees to provide advice or information. Any advice or recommendations provided by external consultants are used as a guide. They are not a
substitute for the Board and Committee decision-making process. There were no remuneration recommendations made by consultants in relation
to Executives in FY2014.
Benchmarking of total remuneration and remuneration mix for Executives for FY2014 was performed by Aon Hewitt, an independent research and
advisory remuneration consulting firm. This advice was used as a guide, and was not a substitute for thorough consideration of all the issues by
the Remuneration Committee.
The cost of advice and assistance provided by Aon Hewitt for the Executives was $17,500. Aon Hewitt was engaged by and reported to the Chair of
the Remuneration Committee. The Board is therefore satisfied that the remuneration benchmark information provided by Aon Hewitt was free from
undue influence by members of the Executive to whom the remuneration benchmark information related. Aon Hewitt provide other salary
benchmarking to various business units within the Group. The aggregated fees payable to Aon Hewitt in the year are not material for either party.
Orient Capital calculated the TSR for the purposes of vesting LTI. The amount paid to Orient Capital for TSR reporting is not material for either party.

REMUNERATION STRUCTURE – PUTTING POLICY INTO PRACTICE
Remuneration mix for Executives
Executive remuneration is structured to recognize an individual’s
responsibilities, qualifications and experience, as well as to drive performance
over the short and long term. The proportion of variable pay is reflective of an
Executive’s ability to influence Company performance through their role.
Executive remuneration comprises the following:
• fixed pay, which consists of cash (or base) salary, superannuation
contributions and any salary sacrificed components. It is set relative to
market, with the level of individual fixed pay aligned with the Executive’s
responsibilities, performance, qualifications and experience; and
• incentives, if payable, are comprised of cash and equity and are dependent
on the satisfaction of corporate, business unit and individual performance
targets.
The targeted mix of remuneration components shown in the graph refers to
the incentive that would be payable if all performance conditions are satisfied
and assumes the full vesting of the Combined Incentive Plan, comprised of a
cash and an equity incentive, and LTI awards. The elements of the
remuneration that are at risk are Cash Incentive, Equity Incentive and LTI.
Allowances and benefits are for specific purposes and are excluded in
determining the mix. Actual incentive remuneration paid to the Executives
can vary for individuals depending on the extent that they meet or exceed
performance requirements.
Further details in relation to the Company’s incentive arrangements, including
the specific performance conditions imposed and the outcomes of those
arrangements (based on the Company’s performance over FY2014 and prior
years), are set out below and through to page 69 under the Combined
Incentive Plan and LTI Plan sections.
The FY2014 targeted mix of the remuneration components
described above for current Executives is outlined below:

Combined Incentive Plan
By linking pay to performance via incentive plans, the Company increases
the focus on total reward and provides motivation to Executives to achieve
outcomes beyond the standard expected in the normal course of ongoing
employment.
The target value of the Combined Incentive Plan for Executives is shown
in the graph above and is made up of two thirds cash (Cash Incentive) and
one third equity (Equity Incentive). The minimum potential value of the
Combined Incentive Plan is zero where applicable gate opener hurdles have
not been met.
The value of the awards achieved can be viewed in the remuneration
outcomes table on pages 70 and 71. This reflects both the Company
achievement against Group NPAT and individual performance against an
Executive’s KPIs.

Maximum payout
Maximum payout is 110% of target. The maximum award is only achievable where the Company has achieved 110% or greater
of budgeted Group NPAT approved by the Board.
incentive delivery and
payment timing
Payment of the award will be made as a gross cash amount at
the end of the performance period.
Performance and
forfeiture conditions
See KPI summary table below.
Delivered through equity deferred for three years in the form of
rights granted under the WorleyParsons Performance Rights
Plan.
The Equity Incentive is subject to the same performance
conditions as the Cash Incentive. In addition, the Executive must
maintain a satisfactory performance rating in the deferral period.
There are no further hurdles during the deferral period.
However, should the accounts be restated during the deferral
period or where an employee has acted fraudulently or
dishonestly or is in breach of their obligations to the Company,
the award may be forfeited. The performance outcomes that
resulted in the award will be reviewed to ensure that the award
is still appropriate at the time of vesting.
Dividends
tenure
Not applicable to the Combined Incentive Plan.
To be eligible for an incentive payment, generally participants must have been employed for at least three months of the
financial year and remain in employment at the date of payment.
Performance targets are agreed at the start of the financial year. A summary of the KPIs, along with the weightings for Executives for FY2014, is outlined
below:
FinanciaL KPis
(60% weighting for ceo or 50% weighting for executives)
non‑FinanciaL KPis
(40% weighting for ceo or 50% weighting for executives)
The weighting of actual KPIs varies depending on the specific role of the individual
and includes the following:
These may vary with Executive responsibility, but usually include KPIs as shown

Targeted business growth and customer
retention and acquisition1.
1 The specific goals for Executives relating to strategic imperatives are considered commercially sensitive.
LTI Plan
The provision of LTI is assessed through two independent performance targets that align an Executive’s interests with shareholder returns while driving long
term Company performance.
The Board has determined that the number of securities issued to Executives and all other participants under the employee equity plans should be capped at
5% of the issued share capital of the Company over a five year time horizon. Currently, the number of securities issued and held pursuant to all equity plans
represents 1.97% of the Company’s issued share capital (FY2013: 2.46%).
LTI grants for FY2014
LTI grants are delivered to Executives as rights that are issued under the WorleyParsons Performance Rights Plan. After vesting, each right entitles the holder to
one fully paid ordinary share in the Company at a nil exercise price (i.e. a zero exercise price option). The number of rights issued is based on the Executive’s
target LTI with reference to the underlying share price when the rights are issued. Rights vest and are automatically exercised (unless an Executive elects
otherwise) after a four year period, subject to defined performance hurdles being satisfied.
66 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
Where rights cannot be readily issued in certain overseas jurisdictions due to
differing securities laws and taxation treatments, the LTI Plan rules ensure a
participant can still be rewarded for their contribution, while catering for the
local restrictions on the issue of securities. All current Executives are able to
receive rights.
Rights granted under the LTI Plan carry no voting or dividend entitlements.
In addition, other than in relation to bonus issues and capital reorganizations
(when the number of rights may be adjusted by the Board in accordance with
the ASX Listing Rules, so as to ensure no advantage or disadvantage to the
Executive), the rights carry no entitlement to participate in new share issues
made by the Company.
Details of the rights granted to Executives as the LTI component of their
remuneration in FY2014 are outlined on pages 72 and 73.
The target measures are as follows:
• TSR relative to peer group (which applies to 50% of potential LTI for
FY2014); and
• EPS growth (which applies to 50% of potential LTI for FY2014).
Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdle
The TSR measure represents the change in the value of the Company’s share
price over a period, including reinvested dividends, expressed as a percentage
of the opening value of the shares.
Relative TSR has been chosen as a performance hurdle because, in the
opinion of the Board, it provides the most direct measure of shareholder
return and reflects an investor’s choice to invest in this company or direct
competitors.
Executives will only derive value from the TSR component of the LTI Plan if
the Company’s TSR performance is at least at the median of the companies in
the peer comparison group over a four year period. Executives are no longer
provided an opportunity to retest under the TSR measure.
The peer comparison group comprise companies with similar business profiles,
with which the Company competes for capital and executive talent. For LTI
grants made in FY2013 and FY2014, the peer comparison group comprises
the companies shown as follows:
aUStraLia anD aSia

The Board has discretion to adjust the comparison group to take into account
events including, but not limited to, takeovers or mergers that might occur
during the performance period.
The vesting schedule of the rights subject to the relative TSR hurdle is
outlined below:

Pro-rated vesting between more than 25%
and less than 50%
At 75th percentile or greater
50% (i.e. maximum available under the plan)
Earnings Per Share (EPS) performance hurdle
Basic EPS is determined by dividing the Group NPAT by the weighted average
number of the Company’s ordinary shares on issue during the financial year.
Growth in EPS will be measured by comparing the EPS in the financial year
immediately preceding the issue and the EPS in the measurement year. EPS
has been chosen as a performance hurdle because it provides a clear line of
sight between Executive performance and Company performance. It is also a
well-recognized and understood measure of performance both within and
outside the organization. The Group NPAT may be adjusted by the Board,
where appropriate, to better reflect operating performance.
Executives will only derive value from the EPS component of the grants made
in FY2014 if the Company achieves average compound growth in EPS of at
least 4% per annum above the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
over the four year performance period.
The vesting schedule of the rights subject to the EPS hurdle is as follows:

increase in CPI
Pro-rated vesting between more than 25%
and less than 50%
50% (i.e. maximum available under the plan)
Exercise of rights and allocation of shares
To the extent that the performance hurdles have been satisfied, rights are
automatically exercised (unless an Executive elects otherwise) and
participants acquire shares in the Company at a nil exercise price.
Shares allocated to participants upon exercise of rights rank equally with
all other ordinary shares on issue. Participants will have unencumbered
ownership of the shares, subject to compliance with the Company’s Securities
Dealing Policy and minimum shareholding requirement.
Executive minimum shareholding requirement
The Executive minimum shareholding requirement applies to Executives to
reinforce the Company’s objective of aligning their interests with the interests
of shareholders, and to foster an increased focus on building long term
shareholder value.
To satisfy the requirement, Executives must retain equity delivered via
incentive plans until they hold shares equivalent in value to two times fixed
pay (four times fixed pay for the CEO) and must subsequently maintain that
multiple.
Compliance with the requirement is assessed as at 30 June each year. The
table below provides a summary of the position of each Executive against the
requirement as at 30 June 2014:

WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014 67
DIRECTORS’ REPORT coNtiNUeD
In addition, under the Company’s Securities Dealing Policy, directors and
Executives are not permitted to hedge unvested performance rights or shares
that count towards an Executive’s minimum holding requirement. This ensures
that Executives cannot “limit the risk” associated with these instruments and
are subject to the same impacts from fluctuations in the share price as all
other shareholders.
Clawback (Malus) provision
The Company maintains a Clawback provision within the Combined Incentive
Plan and the LTI Plan.
If in the Board’s opinion, an employee:
• acts fraudulently or dishonestly;
• is in breach of their obligations to the Company or another Group
company; or
• received awards based on financial accounts which are later restated,
the Board may determine that unvested performance rights lapse; this is also
known as a Malus provision. The Board may also deem any vested but
unexercised performance rights to have lapsed. Additionally, the Board may
seek to recover shares received from exercised rights.
COMPANY PERFORMANCE OVER A FIVE YEAR PERIOD
Cessation of employment and change of control
Where an Executive leaves the Group, the Board may exercise its discretion
and allow a portion of any unvested rights to remain in the plan. Rights will
subsequently vest and be exercised in the ordinary course, having regard to
such factors as the Board determines relevant. Such factors would include
performance against applicable performance hurdles, as well as the
performance and contribution that the relevant Executive has made.
Generally, the Board only exercise discretion in special circumstances, such as
retirement.
In instances of fraudulent or dishonest behavior, the Board will generally
deem all unvested rights held by the Executive to have lapsed on cessation
and may also deem any vested but unexercised rights to be forfeited.
In the event of a change of control of the Company (e.g. where a third party
unconditionally acquires more than 50% of the issued share capital of the
Company), the Board will exercise its discretion to determine whether any or
all unvested rights vest, having regard to pro-rata performance against
applicable performance hurdles up to the date of the change of control.
The table below contains a snapshot of the Company’s performance against annual financial KPIs and shows how the Company’s performance has impacted on
remuneration outcomes for Executives under the Company’s incentive programs.
The remuneration arrangements for Executives ensure that remuneration outcomes are lower when the Company’s performance does not justify large awards,
and higher when Company performance is strong. As demonstrated by the table, LTI and STI/Combined Incentive outcomes have moved in line with the
Company’s performance against relevant key metrics:

1 The FY2014 final dividend has been announced and is scheduled to be paid on 30 September 2014.
2 Underlying EPS, which in the Board’s opinion reflects the Company’s operating results, has been used for calculating the outcomes.
3 The Combined Incentive Plan was introduced in FY2013; previously, this was the STI Plan.
4
Underlying NPAT, which in the Board’s opinion reflects the Company’s operating results, has been used for calculating the outcomes for FY2011, FY2012 and FY2014.
Underlying NPAT excludes net gain on revaluation of investments previously accounted for as equity accounted investments, restructuring costs (net of taxation) and
other adjustments at the Board’s discretion, being the difference between reported Group NPAT and underlying NPAT.
REMUNERATION OUTCOMES IN FY2014
Combined Incentive outcomes
As outlined in the summary of the Combined Incentive Plan on page 66,
reward outcomes for Executives are linked equally to performance against
annual financial KPIs and non-financial (including individual) KPIs, except for
the CEO who has a majority (60%) weighting on financial KPIs.
In the five year table above, and the following graph, Company performance is
compared to variable pay outcomes for 12 month performance.
Based on the underlying NPAT provided above and performance against
individual KPIs, the resulting Combined Incentive Plan payments are detailed
in the table on pages 70 and 71.
The graph illustrates the average percentage of maximum STI/Combined
Incentive awarded to Executives over the past five years compared to Group
NPAT and demonstrates a strong alignment between Company performance
and incentive outcomes for Executives:

The average percentage of maximum STI/Combined Incentive for any financial
year relates to amounts paid in September following that year end.
Underlying Group NPAT figures are used. In 2010 and 2013 these are the same
as Reported Group NPAT figures.
The average combined incentive excludes payments to new Executives
(Christopher Parker and Ian Wilkinson) which were earned in their non-KMP roles.
LTI outcomes
The graph below tracks the Company’s TSR over the last three years against
the median TSR of the peer group used for the LTI Plan:

This graph illustrates that growth in the Company’s TSR was below median,
which has resulted in a nil vesting for Executives for TSR related LTI granted
in FY2012. As vesting was not achieved, Executives may elect to retain their
TSR performance rights to be retested and measured for the four year period
ending 30 June 2015. Executives who elect not to retest will lapse their TSR
related LTI on 30 September 2014. This is the last year in which retesting is
allowed.
Over the same three year period, the Company’s EPS growth was below the
minimum required to trigger vesting against the EPS performance hurdle for
LTI granted in FY2012. EPS performance rights will lapse on 30 September
2014. No retest applies to this measure.
The actions taken in the second half, seek to return us to satisfactory levels
of TSR.

Represents the Company’s relative TSR ranking over the initial three year performance period compared to the relevant comparator group (comprised of AECOM,
Aker Solutions, AMEC, Fluor Corporation, Foster Wheeler, Jacobs Engineering Group, KBR, SNC-Lavalin, URS Corporation and Wood Group).
2 Represents the Company’s retested relative TSR ranking over a four year performance period compared to the relevant comparator group.
3 Change in EPS achieved is calculated as the compound annual growth rate of EPS over the performance period.

This amount is based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the 10 trading days following the annual results announcement for the year
in which the rights vest (as there is no exercise price payable in respect of equity or cash settled rights).
Equity granted in FY2009 under the TSR measure vested on 30 September 2012 based on the retested outcome over a four year performance period up to
30 June 2012.
Equity granted in FY2011 under the EPS measure had a nil vesting on 30 September 2013. Equity granted under the TSR measure has nil vesting on 30 September
2014.
Equity granted in FY2012 under the TSR and EPS measure has nil vesting on 30 September 2014. Executives may elect to retain TSR performance rights to be
measured for the four year performance period up to 30 June 2015. This is the last year in which retesting is allowed.

Total remuneration outcomes
Executive remuneration is detailed in the following table in accordance with accounting standards. Additional columns have been provided under Actual
Remuneration Outcomes. This shows a comparison between remuneration in accordance with the accounting standards, actual remuneration awarded during the
year and actual remuneration received during the year.
Accounting standards require the value of equity based payments to be amortized over the relevant period of performance (or vesting period). The value of
equity based payments awarded during the year is determined as a percentage of fixed pay that the Company aims to deliver. This can be found in the Equity
Incentive and LTI columns under the remuneration awarded section of Actual Remuneration Outcomes. The full value that was received during the year is
determined as the number of performance rights vested times the share price at the end of the period of performance. This can be found under the
remuneration received section of Actual Remuneration Outcomes.

The amount relates to the Cash Incentive portion of the Combined Incentive Plan. In line with the outcomes, there will be no payment made in September 2014.
Non-monetary benefits include benefits such as expatriate benefits (i.e. housing, home leave etc.), health insurance, car parking, company cars or car allowances, fringe
benefits tax, tax advisory services, life insurance and club memberships. In some cases, these are at the election of the Executives i.e. they are salary sacrificed.
This remuneration includes a proportion of the fair value of equity compensation granted or outstanding during the year. The fair value of equity instruments is determined
based on the fair value at grant date and is expensed progressively over the vesting period. The amount included as remuneration is not indicative of the benefit (if any) that
individual Executives may ultimately realize should the equity instruments vest.

5 This is the total of superannuation received and long service leave benefits accrued during reporting period.
6
Remuneration awarded during reporting period but deferred for future periods includes equity awards granted under the Combined Incentive and LTI Plans which may vest
and become available to Executives in future periods. A grant value based on fixed pay (as defined on page 65) multiplied by the incentive plan payout percentage approved
by the Board has been included; this is not indicative of the benefit (if any) that individual Executives may ultimately realize should the equity instruments vest.

The Employee Share Purchase Plan allows all permanent employees in select countries the opportunity to purchase up to $5,000 worth of shares per annum. The Company
will provide an additional share for every five shares purchased and held for three years.
The amount relates to the Equity Incentive portion of the Combined Incentive Plan. In line with the outcomes, there will be no performance rights granted in October 2014
for Executives.
Remuneration received in reporting period from previous periods includes equity awards granted under the incentive plans in previous years which vested during reporting
period. The Equity Incentive/Deferred STI and LTI value reflects the actual value realized by the Executive. For FY2014 and FY2013, there were no performance rights that
vested during this period.
10 Mr Grill retired from the CEO role effective 23 October 2012. Mr Grill was appointed Chairman on 1 March 2013 and his subsequent reward is disclosed in the NED
Remuneration Outcomes table on page 75.
11 Remuneration is disclosed to the extent that it relates to Mr Parker’s and Mr Wilkinson’s employment in the capacity of an Executive, which commenced on 1 May 2014.
12 Remuneration is disclosed to the extent that it relates to Mr Bloch’s and Mr Ross’ employment in the capacity of an Executive, which ceased on 1 May 2014. Share based
payments are disclosed to the extent they relate to their employment in the capacity of an Executive.
13 Mr Bradie resigned from the Company on 8 April 2014 and ceased to be an Executive on that date. Notice payments under his contract up to his cessation of employment on
30 May 2014 are included in Cash Salary above. No termination payments were made to Mr Bradie.

The service and performance criteria for the rights are discussed in the LTI Plan section on page 66. Each right entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the
Company at a nil exercise price (i.e. a zero exercise price option). Where rights were granted prior to commencement as Executives, the service and performance criteria
are aligned with those discussed in the Combined Incentive Plan section on page 65.
Fair value per right at grant date is independently determined using an appropriate option pricing model in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment that takes
into account the exercise price, the term of the right, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the right, the share price
at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the right. This amount
represents the actual cost to the Company. A Monte Carlo simulation is used for the relative TSR portion and a Black-Scholes model is used for the EPS portion.
Total fair value at grant date is calculated by multiplying the fair value per right by the number of rights granted. This does not represent the actual value the Executive
will derive from the grant, which will depend on the achievement of performance hurdles measured over the vesting period. The maximum value of the rights granted
has been estimated based on the fair value per right. The minimum total value of the rights granted, if the applicable performance hurdles are not met, is nil.
This is the date at which rights first become exercisable subject to meeting performance hurdles. Once vested, rights are exercisable up until the expiry date. Rights
granted on 15 October 2010 were retained for retesting over a four year period (to 30 September 2014).
This amount is based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the 5 or 10 trading days following the annual results announcement for the
year in which the rights vest (as there is no exercise price payable in respect of equity or cash settled rights) or following the end of the relevant financial year, as
applicable.
6 The number of rights lapsed represents rights lapsed due to performance hurdles not being met and/or rights lapsed on cessation of employment.
7 Based on the measurement of the relevant performance hurdles, this total value may be an accumulation of values for rights lapsed over multiple periods.
8
Rights issued to Mr Holt and Mr Karren are disclosed to the extent they were outstanding or granted following the commencement of their employment in the capacity
of Executive, which commenced on 23 October 2012.
9 The fair value at grant for matching bonus entitlements under the Employee Share Purchase Plan is calculated as the weighted average market price over the plan year.
10 Rights issued to Mr Parker and Mr Wilkinson are disclosed to the extent they were outstanding or granted following the commencement of their occupation in the
capacity of Executive, which commenced on 1 May 2014.
11 Mr Bradie ceased employment with the Company on 30 May 2014, at which time all unvested equity awards lapsed.
12 Mr Grill and Mr Benke received rights as part of their employment with the Company prior to their retirement on 23 October 2012 and 30 June 2010 respectively. Board
approval was received for retention of a pro-rated number of rights under the original terms of the grant including performance measures and vesting dates. This is
consistent with the Company’s practice in relation to unvested LTI held by retiring employees. Full details are disclosed on page 68. Rights lapsed on Mr Grill’s and
Mr Benke’s retirement have been valued based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the 10 trading days up to and including their
retirement dates.

termination, where an Executive resigns, the Combined Incentive is paid only
if the Executive is employed on the date of payment (which is subsequent to
the performance year).
In accordance with the plan rules, the Board retains discretion on the
treatment of both vested and unvested equity in all instances of separation
as outlined in the Combined Incentive Plan and the LTI Plan details on
pages 65 and 66. In exercising such discretion, this is typically on a pro-rata
basis and subject to the original performance requirements and timing.
74 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
At the October 2013 Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Board sought and
received approval from shareholders, where discretion was applied for the
retention of LTI following cessation of employment for the value of LTI to be
disregarded when calculating the relevant participant’s cap for the purposes
of section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Act.
The Company did not pay sign-on payments to any Executives during
FY2014.

REMUNERATION POLICY
The principles of fairness and shareholder alignment are reflected through
the Company’s commitment to setting NED fees at a level which remains
market competitive, while ensuring they reflect the caliber of directors
required to address the significant strategic and operational challenges faced
by the Company, domestically and abroad.
For the third consecutive year, there will be no increase in fees for NEDs
in FY2015.
The aggregate amount of fees (which include Board and Committee fees)
that may be paid to NEDs in any year is capped at the level approved by
shareholders. The current maximum aggregate amount of $3.25 million per
annum was approved by shareholders at the 2012 AGM. Of the aggregate
annual fee pool, 76% ($2.47 million) was utilized during FY2014 (72%
($2.355 million) for FY2013). NEDs do not receive performance related
payments.
REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
Board and Committee fees
Board and Committee fees for FY2014 and FY2015 are set out below. These
amounts are inclusive of superannuation contributions made on behalf of
NEDs in accordance with the Company’s statutory obligations.
In FY2014, Mr Grill agreed to a temporary decrease in the Chairman fee from
$520,000 to $460,000 per annum. This will apply for FY2014 and FY2015.

Superannuation contributions are made on behalf of the NEDs in accordance with
the Company’s statutory superannuation obligations. In some cases, the amounts
in this table are lower than the annualized superannuation guarantee cap (Cap).
Currently NEDs are paid every second month and the legislation requires the Cap
to apply quarterly. The lower amount results from those quarters in which only
one payment is made and it is lower than the quarterly cap.
2 Mr Grill commenced as a NED and Chairman on 1 March 2013.
3 Mr McNeil retired as a director on 3 April 2014.

Mr Grill received Deferred Equity STI Rights in 2012 which half of which
vested after 12 months and half after 24 months. The plan provided dividend
equivalent payments and they have not previously been disclosed.

Mr Grill received rights as part of his employment with the Company prior to his retirement on 23 October 2012. In 2011, shareholders approved that Mr Grill’s
performance rights should be cash settled.

3 Mr McNeil’s balance at 30 June 2014 is not disclosed as he resigned on 3 April 2014 and is no longer a director.
NED minimum shareholding requirement
A minimum shareholding requirement exists to provide alignment between director and shareholder interests. Each NED must build a holding of the Company’s
ordinary shares equivalent to that director’s annual fee. NEDs are expected to comply with this requirement within their first full term of three years as a
director. All NEDs comply with the minimum shareholding requirement.
This Directors’ Report (including Remuneration Report) is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

noteS to tHe financial StatementS
For the financial year ended 30 June 2014
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of worleyParsons Limited (Company or Parent Entity) for
the financial year ended 30 June 2014 was authorized for issue in accordance
with a resolution of the directors on 27 August 2014.
worleyParsons Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in
Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX: wOR). worleyParsons Limited is a for‑profit entity for the
purposes of preparing the financial statements.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company is
described in note 34.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
(i) Basis of preparation
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting
Standards (AAS) and other authoritative pronouncements of the
Australian Accounting Standards Board.
The Group is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100 issued by
the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to
the “rounding off” of amounts in the Directors’ Report and financial
statements. Unless otherwise expressly stated, amounts have been
rounded off to the nearest hundred thousand dollars in accordance
with that Class Order. Amounts shown as 0.0 represent amounts less
than $50,000 which have been rounded down.
(ii) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial report complies with International
Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(iii) Historical cost convention
The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for derivative financial instruments and available‑for‑sale
financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The carrying
values of recognized assets and liabilities that are hedged with fair
value hedges are adjusted to record changes in the fair values
attributable to the risks that are being hedged.
(iv) Critical accounting estimates
In the application of AAS, management is required to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis of making judgments.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in
the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects
only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods
if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies
for which significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are
made:
• revenue recognition, refer note 2(G);
• goodwill and intangible assets with identifiable useful lives,
refer notes 2(L) and 10;
• warranty and other provisions, refer notes 2(O), 14 and 17;
• share based payments, refer note 2(C); and
• recovery of deferred taxes, refer notes 2(D) and 6(D).
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial
results or the financial position reported in future periods.
82 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
(v) Adoption of new and amended accounting standards
The Group has adopted the following new and amended accounting
standards from 1 July 2013:
• AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements;
• AASB 11 Joint Arrangements;
• AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities;
• AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement;
• Revised AASB 119 Employee Benefits;
• AASB 2011‑4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to
Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure
Requirements; and
• AASB 2013‑3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount
Disclosures for Non‑Financial Assets.
Adoption of these standards did not have any material effect on the
Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Comprehensive
Income and Statement of Financial Position of the Group.
(vi) New accounting standards and interpretation not yet applicable
The following new accounting standards and interpretation have
been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not
been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended
30 June 2014:
Effective 1 July 2014
IFRIC 21 Levies
IFRIC 21 addresses that a liability for a levy should be recognized
when the activity that triggers payment occurs.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on
the Group’s financial statements.
Effective 1 July 2017
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition
of financial assets and liabilities and establishes new rules for hedge
accounting that better align risk management practices and hedge
accounting practices. The changes impacting financial assets and
liabilities are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s
financial statements. The Group has not finalized its assessment of
how changes to rules for hedge accounting will impact the Group’s
financial statements.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 addresses how revenue is recognized and will require the
Group to identify contracts and performance obligations, determine
the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each
performance obligation and recognize revenue when each
performance obligation is satisfied. The Group has not finalized its
assessment of how changes to the rules for revenue recognition will
impact the Group’s financial statements.
Effective 1 July 2018
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 is the IASB’s replacement for IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. The standard includes requirements
for recognition and measurement, impairment, derecognition and
general hedge accounting. The standard has yet to be adopted by
the AASB. The Group has not yet finalized its assessment of how
changes to the rules for financial instruments will impact the Group’s
financial statements.
(vii) Basis of presentation and classification – Statement of Financial
Performance
During the year ended 30 June 2014, the Group has voluntarily
changed the presentation of expenses in its Statement of Financial
Performance. The Group has determined that the disclosure of
certain costs by function provides more relevant information to the
financial statement users as it aligns cost classification with revenue
categories.
Staff costs $4,348.9 (2013: $4,293.8), contract related reimbursable
costs $1,052.9 (2013: $1,282.4), office and administration costs
$524.7 (2013: $579.3) and certain depreciation and amortization
costs $109.5 million (2013: $102.3 million) as presented previously
have been allocated to professional services costs, construction and
fabrication costs and to global support costs. The presentation of
procurement costs remains unchanged. The changes to classification
have not impacted the total expenses recorded or the recorded profit
before taxation.
Comparative values have been adjusted to reflect current period
presentation.
(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and
liabilities of all entities controlled by worleyParsons Limited as at 30 June
2014 and the results of all controlled entities for the financial year then
ended. worleyParsons Limited and its controlled entities together are
referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity or the Group.
Investments in associates are equity accounted and are not part of the
consolidated entity (refer note 2(B)(iii)).
The impact of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity
are eliminated in full. Non‑controlling interests in the results and equity
of controlled entities are shown separately in the Statement of Financial
Performance, Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of
Financial Position.
(i) Controlled entities
where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its
results are included in the Statement of Financial Performance and
the Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which
control commences. where control of an entity ceases during a
financial year, its results are included for that part of the year during
which control existed.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not
result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
(ii) Joint operations
The Group recognizes its proportionate interest in the assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses of any joint operations. These
balances are incorporated in the financial statements under the
appropriate headings. Details of joint operations are set out in
note 25.
(iii) Equity accounted associates
Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated
financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under
this method, the consolidated entity’s share of the post‑acquisition
profits or losses after tax of associates is recognized in the
Statement of Financial Performance and the Statement of
Comprehensive Income, and its share of post‑acquisition movements
in reserves is recognized in consolidated reserves. The cumulative
post‑acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of
the investment. Associates are those entities over which the
consolidated entity exercises significant influence, but not control.
Details of the associates are set out in note 24.
(iv) Non‑controlling interests
Non‑controlling interests not held by the Company are allocated
their share of net profit after tax in the Statement of Financial
Performance and of total comprehensive income net of tax in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income, and are presented within
equity in the Statement of Financial Position, separately from Parent
Entity interest.
(C) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of
employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits
include wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and long service
leave.
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, sick
leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within
12 months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts
based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the
liability is settled. All other employee benefits or liabilities are measured
at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in
respect of services provided by the employees up to the reporting date.
In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the market
yield as at the reporting date on national government bonds, which have
terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, is used.
Employee benefits expenses arising in respect of wages and salaries,
non‑monetary benefits, leave entitlements and other types of
entitlements are charged against profits on a net basis in their respective
categories.
(i) Share based payments – performance rights
Performance rights (rights) over the ordinary shares of
worleyParsons Limited are granted to executive directors and other
executives of the consolidated entity for nil consideration in
accordance with performance guidelines approved by the Board.
The fair values of the rights are amortized on a straight line basis
over their performance period. For share settled rights, the fair value
of the rights is the share price at grant date adjusted for the impact
of performance hurdles and other vesting or exercise criteria
attached to the right. For cash settled rights, the fair value of the
rights is recalculated at the end of each reporting period and
amortized on a straight line basis over their vesting period.
The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to rights would
have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses
and equity.
Fair value per right at grant date is independently determined using
an appropriate option pricing model in accordance with AASB 2
Share‑based Payment that takes into account the exercise price, the
term of the right, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of
dilution, the non‑traded nature of the right, the share price at grant
date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the
expected dividend yield and the risk‑free interest rate for the term of
the right. This amount represents the actual cost to the Company.
A Monte Carlo simulation is applied to fair value the total shareholder
return (TSR) element. In accordance with the rules of the
Performance Rights Plan, the model simulates the Company’s TSR
and compares it against the peer group over the three‑year period
of each grant. The model takes into account the historic dividends,
share price volatilities and co‑variances of the Company and each
comparator company to produce a predicted distribution of relative
share performance. This is applied to the grant to give an expected
value of the TSR element. For the earnings per share (EPS) and
“continuous employment condition”, the Black‑Scholes model is
utilized. Total fair value at grant is calculated by multiplying the fair
value per right by the number of rights granted. This does not
represent the actual value the executive will derive from the grant,
which will depend on the achievement of performance hurdles
measured over the vesting period. The maximum value of the rights
granted has been estimated based on the fair value per right.
The minimum total value of the rights granted, if the applicable
performance hurdles are not met, is nil.
(ii) Deferred short term incentive plan
Deferred short term incentives are granted to executive directors
and other executives of the consolidated entity in accordance with
guidelines approved by the Board. These incentives are delivered in
the form of a grant of rights under the Performance Rights Plan,
except where the value of the incentive is less than the
established threshold.
The rights awarded under the plan are deferred and will vest in two
equal tranches. The Group accounts for these deferred awards as
equity settled share based payments. Incentives granted which are
less than the established threshold are accounted for as an employee
benefit in accordance with the Group accounting policies.
(iii) Employee share plan
Employees in eligible countries are invited to participate in an
employee share plan. Shares purchased under the employee share
plan are subject to dealing restrictions until the restriction end date.
The Group will grant one bonus entitlement to a share for every five
shares purchased through the employee share plan which vests on
WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014 83
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2014
the restriction end date at which point it will convert to an ordinary
share. The Group accounts for the bonus entitlements as equity
settled share based payments.
(D) TAXES
(i)
Income tax
The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the
current period’s taxable income based on the income tax rate for
each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements and to unused tax losses as well as any
adjustments required between prior periods’ current tax expense
and income tax returns and any relevant withholding taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary
differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are
enacted or substantially enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant
tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and
taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset
or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences
arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability.
No deferred tax asset or liability is recognized in relation to these
temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a
business combination, that at the time did not affect either
accounting profit or taxable profit and loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary
differences.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognized for temporary
differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of
investments in controlled entities where the Parent Entity is able to
control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it
is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable
future.
Current and deferred tax amounts relating to items recognized
directly in equity are also recognized in equity and not in the
Statement of Financial Performance.
(ii) Tax consolidation
worleyParsons Limited and its wholly owned Australian entities
elected to form a tax consolidated group from 1 July 2003. On
formation of the tax consolidated group, the entities in the tax
consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which,
in the opinion of the directors, limits the joint and several liability of
the wholly owned entities in the case of a default by the head
entity, worleyParsons Limited.
The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under
which the wholly owned entities fully compensate worleyParsons
Limited for any current tax liability assumed and are compensated by
worleyParsons Limited for any current tax loss, deferred tax assets
and tax credits that are transferred to worleyParsons Limited under
the tax consolidation legislation. The tax consolidated current tax
liability or current year tax loss and other deferred tax assets are
required to be allocated to the members of the tax consolidated
group in accordance with UIG 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting.
The Group uses an allocation method for this purpose where the
allocated current tax payable, current tax loss, deferred tax assets
and other tax credits for each member of the tax consolidated
group are determined as if the Group is a stand‑alone taxpayer but
modified as necessary to recognize membership of a tax consolidated
group. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the
amounts recognized in the wholly owned entities’ financial
statements which are determined having regard to membership of
the tax consolidated group. The amounts receivable/payable under
the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding
advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable
after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require
payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to
pay tax installments. The funding amounts are recognized as current
inter‑company receivables or payables.
84 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
(iii) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of
GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and
services is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these
circumstances, the GST is recognized as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST
included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the
Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross
basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and
financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the
taxation authority, is classified as an operating cash flow.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(E) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s
entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (functional currency).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency.
(ii) Translation of foreign currency transactions
Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at
the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign
currency receivables and payables at balance date are translated at
foreign exchange rates at balance date. Foreign exchange gains and
losses are brought to account in determining the profit and loss for
the financial year.
(iii) Specific hedges
Hedging is undertaken to avoid or minimize potential adverse
financial effects of movements in foreign currency exchange rates.
Gains or losses arising upon entry into a hedging transaction intended
to hedge the purchase or sale of goods or services, together with
subsequent foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from those
transactions, are deferred up to the date of the purchase or sale and
included in the measurement of the purchase or sale.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item
receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of
which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are
considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation
and are recognized directly in equity in the foreign currency
translation reserve.
At each balance date, the Group measures the effectiveness of its
cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the
hedging instrument is recognized directly in equity, while the
ineffective portion is recognized in the profit and loss.
(F) ACQUISITION OF ASSETS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business
combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets
are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up,
shares issued or liabilities undertaken or assumed at the date of
acquisition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are
expensed as incurred. where equity instruments are issued in a business
combination, the value of the instruments is their market price as
determined by market valuation at the acquisition date. Transaction
costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognized directly
in equity.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date
fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is
remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit and loss.
Except for non‑current assets or disposal groups classified as held for
sale (which are measured at fair value less costs to sell), all identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a
business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non‑controlling interest.
The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair
value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recognized as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s
share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary,
the difference is recognized as a gain in the Statement of Financial
Performance, but only after a reassessment of the identification and
measurement of the net assets acquired.
where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the
amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at
the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the Group’s incremental
borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be
obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and
conditions.
(G) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of trade allowances, duties and
taxes paid. Revenue is recognized and measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that
the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must be met
before revenue is recognized:
(i) Professional services and construction and fabrication
Revenue from cost plus contracts is recognized by reference to the
recoverable costs incurred during the reporting period plus the
percentage of fees earned.
Contract revenue and expenses are recognized in accordance with
the percentage of completion method unless the outcome of the
contract cannot be reliably estimated. where it is probable that a loss
will arise from a contract, the excess of total costs over revenue is
recognized as an expense immediately.
where the outcome of a contract cannot be reliably estimated,
contract costs are recognized as an expense as incurred, and where
it is probable that the costs will be recovered, revenue is recognized
to the extent of costs incurred. Incentive payments on contracts are
recognized as part of total contract revenue where it is probable that
specified performance standards are met or exceeded and the
amount of the incentive payment can be reliably measured.
For fixed price contracts, the stage of completion is measured by
reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total
costs for each contract.
(ii) Procurement
Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs
incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be
measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered
passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the
customer.
(iii) Interest
Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective
interest rate method.
(iv) Dividends
Revenue is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the
payment is established.
(H) TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
All trade and other receivables are recognized at the original amounts
less an allowance for any uncollectible debts. An allowance for doubtful
debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not
be able to collect debts. The recoverable amount of trade and other
receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Unbilled contract revenue is stated at the aggregate of contract costs
incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses and
progress billings. Contract costs include all costs directly related to
specific contracts, costs that are specifically chargeable to the customer
under the terms of the contract and an allocation of overhead expenses
incurred in connection with the consolidated entity’s activities in general.
(I) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a
straight line basis to write off the net cost or revalued amount of each
item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over its expected
useful life to the consolidated entity. The expected useful lives for plant
and equipment range from three to 10 years. The estimated useful lives,
residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each
annual reporting period.
The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties is amortized over
the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the
improvement to the consolidated entity, whichever is the shorter.
(J)
IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization
and are tested at least twice a year for impairment. Assets that are
subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s
fair value less costs to sell, and value in use. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units (CGUs)).
(K) LEASES
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is
based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment
of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use
of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use
the asset.
(i) The Group as a lessee
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the
risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item, are
capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the
leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance
charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Finance charges are recognized as an expense in the Statement of
Financial Performance.
The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor
effectively retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership of the leased item, are recognized as an expense on a
straight line basis. Lease incentives are recognized in the Statement
of Financial Performance as an integral part of the total lease
expense.
(ii) The Group as a lessor
Leases where the Group transfers substantially all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee or a third
party are classified as finance leases. A receivable at an amount
equal to the present value of the lease payments, including any
guaranteed residual value, is recognized.
Income on finance leases is recognized on a basis reflecting a
constant periodic return based on the lessor’s net investment
outstanding in respect of the finance lease.
Leases where the Company retains substantially all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease rental revenue is recognized on
a straight line basis.
(L) INTANGIBLE ASSETS
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over
the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired at the time of
acquisition of a business or shares in controlled entities or
associates. Goodwill on acquisition of controlled entities is included
in intangible assets and goodwill on acquisition of associates is
included in investments in associates. Gains and losses on the
disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating
to the entity sold.
WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014 85
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Goodwill is not amortized; instead, it is tested at least twice a year for
any impairment in the carrying amount or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill
is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a
business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are
expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination,
irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are
assigned to those groups of CGUs. The groups of CGUs to which
goodwill is allocated are the operating segments determined in
accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments, as set out in note 34.
These segments represent the lowest level within the entity at
which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of
the groups of CGUs to which the goodwill relates. when the
recoverable amount of the groups of CGUs is less than the carrying
amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not subsequently
reversed.
(ii) Identifiable intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination
are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset
acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of
acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried
at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated
impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets are not
capitalized and expenditure is recognized in the profit and loss in the
year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite
or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the
useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication
that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period
and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite
useful life are reviewed at least each financial year end. Changes in
the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of
future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for
prospectively by changing the amortization period or method,
as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate.
The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is
recognized in the Statement of Financial Performance on a straight
line basis over the following periods:
• customer contracts and relationships
• trade names
• computer software
• other
3‑15 years;
5‑10 years;
5 years; and
3‑10 years.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for
impairment annually, either individually or at the CGU level. Such
intangible assets are not amortized. The useful life of an intangible
asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to
determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be
supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from
indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting
estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising
from development expenditure on an internal project is recognized
only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of
completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or
sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset,
how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability
of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure
reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during
its development.
(M) TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
Liabilities for trade and other payables amounts are carried at cost which
is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods
and services received, whether or not billed to the Group.
86 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
(N) INTEREST BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS
Loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of
transaction costs incurred. Loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds
(net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in
the Statement of Financial Performance over the period of the loan using
the effective interest rate method.
(O) PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognized when the consolidated entity has a legal,
equitable or constructive obligation to make a future sacrifice of
economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions or
other past events, it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic
benefits will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
(i) Deferred revenue
The Group at times receives payment for services prior to revenue
being recognized in the financial statements. Revenue is classified as
deferred due to the criteria required for its recognition not being met
as at the reporting date, in line with the accounting policy set out in
note 2(G).
(ii) Expected losses on contracts
where the outcome for a services contract is expected to result in
an overall loss over the life of the contract, this loss is provided for
when it first becomes known that a loss will be incurred.
(iii) Insurance
Provision for insurance liabilities is recognized in line with actuarial
calculations of unsettled insurance claims, net of insurance
recoveries. The provision is based on the aggregate amount of
individual claims incurred but not reported that are lower in value
than the insurance deductible of the consolidated entity. It is based
on the estimated cost of settling claims and consideration is given
to the ultimate claim size, future inflation as well as the levels of
compensation awarded through the courts.
(iv) Warranties
Provision is made for the estimated liability on all products and
services still under warranty at balance date. This provision is
estimated having regard to prior service warranty experience. In
calculating the liability at balance date, amounts were not discounted
to their present value as the effect of discounting was not material.
In determining the level of provision required for warranties, the
Group has made judgments in respect of the expected performance
and the costs of fulfilling the warranty. Historical experience and
current knowledge have been used in determining this provision.
(v) Deferred consideration
Deferred consideration acquired in a business combination is initially
measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Subsequently, it is
measured in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
(vi) Dividends payable
Provision is made for the amount of any dividends declared,
determined, announced or publicly recommended by the directors
before or at the end of the financial year but not distributed at
balance date.
(vii) Restructurings
Provisions for restructurings are recognized when the consolidated
entity has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and
has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out
the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its
main features to those affected by it.
(P) REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
Repairs, minor renewals and improvements, and the purchase of minor
items of tools and equipment are charged to expense as incurred.
Major renewals and improvements are capitalized to the respective asset
and depreciated.
(Q) BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they
are incurred, except when they are included in the costs of qualifying
assets. Borrowing costs include:
(i)
(ii)
interest on bank overdrafts, and short term and long term loans and
borrowings;
amortization of discounts or premiums relating to loans and
borrowings; and
(iii) finance lease charges.
(R) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of
outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included within interest
bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of
Financial Position.
where cash and cash equivalents held by the Group are subject to
external restrictions, the nature of the restrictions and value of cash
subject to these restrictions are disclosed in note 7.
(S) ISSUED CAPITAL
Issued and paid up capital is recognized at the fair value of the
consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the
issue of ordinary shares are recognized directly in equity as a reduction of
the share proceeds received.
(T) EARNINGS PER SHARE
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit
attributable to members of worleyParsons Limited by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during
the financial year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to
members of worleyParsons Limited adjusted for:
• costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
• the after‑tax effect of dividends and interest associated with
dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognized as
expenses; and
• other non‑discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during
the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary
shares,
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and
dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(U) SEGMENT REPORTING
(i)
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the
internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Group Managing Directors (the
chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in
determining the allocation of resources. The operating segments
identified by management are based on the customer sector groups:
Hydrocarbons, Minerals, Metals & Chemicals and Infrastructure.
Discrete pre‑tax financial information about each of these customer
sector groups is reported to the chief operating decision makers on
a monthly basis.
The Group’s operations are organized and managed separately
according to the nature of the services they provide, with each
segment serving different markets. The Group provides engineering
design, project services, maintenance and reliability support services
and advisory services to a number of markets.
can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Segment
assets include all assets used by a segment and consist primarily of
receivables and plant and equipment. Segment revenues, expenses
and results include transactions between segments incurred in the
ordinary course of business. These transactions are priced on an
arm’s length basis and are eliminated on consolidation.
The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments
internally are the same as those contained in these financial
statements and are consistent with those used in the prior period.
The segment result includes the allocation of overhead that can be
directly attributed to an individual business segment. The following
items and associated assets and liabilities are not allocated to
segments as they are not considered part of the core operations
of any segment:
• global support costs;
• restructuring costs;
• interest and tax for associates;
• amortization of acquired intangible assets;
• net gain on revaluation of investments previously accounted for as
equity accounted associates;
• net borrowing costs; and
• income tax expense.
(V) ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Non‑current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale and
measured at the lower of their carrying value, and fair value less costs to
sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction. They are not depreciated or amortized. For an asset or
disposal group to be classified as held for sale, it must be available for
immediate sale in its present condition and its sale must be highly
probable.
An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write‑down
of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is
recognized for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell
of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative
impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously
recognized by the date of the sale of the non‑current asset (or disposal
group) is recognized at the date of derecognition.
The assets and liabilities are presented separately on the face of the
Statement of Financial Position.
(W) DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
The Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination
of fair value, for both financial and non‑financial assets and liabilities.
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure
purposes based on the following methods. when applicable, further
information about the assumptions used in determining fair values is
disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
(i) Property, plant and equipment
The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognized as
the result of a business combination is based on market values.
The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a
property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a
willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction of
proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably,
prudently and without compulsion. The market value of plant,
equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on quoted market prices
for similar items.
(ii) Investments in equity and debt securities
The fair value of held‑to‑maturity investments, financial assets at
fair value through profit and loss, and available‑for‑sale financial
assets is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an
orderly market at the reporting date. The fair value of
held‑to‑maturity investments is determined for disclosure
purposes only.
(iii) Derivatives
(ii) Accounting policies and inter‑segment transactions
Segment revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are those that
are directly attributable to a segment and the relevant portion that
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is estimated by
discounting the difference between the contractual forward price for
the residual maturity of the contract using a risk‑free interest rate
WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014 87
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2014
(based on government bonds). The fair value of interest rate swaps is
based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness
by discounting estimated cash flows based on the terms and
maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for similar
instruments at the measurement date.
(iv) Non‑derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is the price
that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. For finance
leases, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to
similar lease agreements.
(C) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its
financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing
liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed
conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to
the Group’s reputation.
The Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet
expected operational expenses including the servicing of financial
obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances
that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(A) OVERVIEW
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables,
payables, bank loans and overdrafts, finance leases, cash and short term
deposits and derivatives. The Group has exposure to the following risks
from its use of financial instruments:
• credit risk;
• liquidity risk; and
• market risk.
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the
above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and
managing risk, and the management of capital. Quantitative disclosures
are included throughout this financial report.
The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight
of the risk management framework. The Audit and Risk Committee
assists the Board in overseeing the integrity of the Group’s financial
reporting risk management framework and internal controls.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the
risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and
to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and
systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions
and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and
management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined
and constructive control environment in which all employees understand
their roles and obligations.
The Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal
Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management
controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the
Committee.
(B) CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from
customers and investment securities.
(i) Trade and other receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the
individual characteristics of each customer. The profiles of the
Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and
country in which customers operate, have less of an influence on
credit risk. Geographically and on a customer basis, there is no
concentration of credit risk.
The Group has a credit policy under which each new customer is
analyzed for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment
and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review
includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank
references.
The Group has established an allowance for impairment that
represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and
other receivables. This allowance comprises only those components
that are individually significant.
(D) MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign
exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group’s
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective
of market risk management is to manage and control market risk
exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
The Group enters into derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities,
in order to manage market risk. Generally, the Group seeks to apply hedge
accounting in order to reduce volatility in the profit and loss.
(i) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and
borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the
respective functional currencies of Group entities.
The Group uses forward exchange contracts and foreign currency
options to hedge its currency risk, most with a maturity of less than
one year from the reporting date. when necessary, forward exchange
contracts are rolled over at maturity.
Interest on borrowings is denominated in currencies that match the
cash flows generated by the underlying operations for the Group
resulting in an economic hedge. Interest is primarily AUD, CAD, GBP
and USD.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate
risk. The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that the majority of its
exposure to interest rates on borrowings is on a fixed rate basis.
(E) CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain
investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future
development of the business. The Board monitors the return on equity,
which the Group defines as profit after income tax expense divided by
the average total shareholders’ equity, excluding non‑controlling
interests. The Board also determines the level of dividends to ordinary
shareholders.
The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that
might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages
and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Board monitors this through the gearing ratio (net debt/net debt plus
total equity), the size of available banking facilities and the assessment
of the outlook for the Group operations. The target for the Group’s
gearing ratio is between 25% and 35%. The gearing ratio at 30 June
2014 and 2013 was as follows:

During the financial year ended 30 June 2014, the Group acquired an
additional net interest in entities which had previously been accounted for as
equity accounted associates, resulting in the change in the classification of
the investments from equity accounted associates to subsidiaries of the
Group. This resulted in $11.4 million net gain on revaluation of investments
previously accounted for as equity accounted associates.

10. NON‑CURRENT ASSETS – INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)
Impairment testing
Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are carried at cost less
accumulated amortization and adjusted for any accumulated impairment loss.
The assets are assessed at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that the asset may be impaired. Goodwill is an intangible asset
with an indefinite life which is tested at least twice a year for impairment.
The recoverable amount test is based on the higher of value in use, and fair
value less cost to sell. These calculations use cash flow projections based on
financial forecasts of how the business is expected to operate based on
current performance and the business environment but taking into account
expected future changes.
The groups of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated are the operating segments
determined in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments. The allocation of
goodwill to CGUs has changed and accordingly comparatives have been
restated. Refer note 34 for further details of the change.
The goodwill allocated to the groups of CGUs and the key assumptions used
for the value in use impairment testing are as follows:

The first five years forecast cash flows are based on management’s estimates
of the short and long term prospects for the industry and previous experience.
The growth rate beyond five years is assumed to be 3% per annum.
The calculation of value in use for the CGUs is most sensitive to the following
assumptions:
• change in discount rates; and
• long term growth rate.
Goodwill is not impaired at reporting date and there are no known probable
changes in estimates that would lead to an impairment.

NATURE AND TIMING OF PROVISIONS
Employee benefits: Refer note 2(C) for the relevant accounting policy and
a discussion of the significant estimation and assumptions applied in the
measurement of this provision.
Deferred revenue and project provisions: The Group at times recovers
payment for services prior to revenue being recognized in the financial
statements. It is expected that this revenue will be earned within two years
of the balance date.
warranties: Provision is made for the estimated liability on all products and
services under warranty at balance date. It is expected that these costs will
be incurred within two years of the balance date.
Deferred consideration: where settlement of any part of the consideration for
a business combination is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are
discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount
rate used is the Group’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which
a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under
comparable terms and conditions.
Insurance: The provision is based on the estimated cost of settling
insured claims.

Included in ordinary shares are 3,318,214 (2013: 3,594,667) exchangeable shares.
The issuance of the exchangeable shares and the attached special voting share replicate
the economic effect of issuing ordinary shares in the Company. Accordingly, for accounting
purposes, exchangeable shares are treated in the same single class of issued capital
as ordinary shares. In addition, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) treats these
exchangeable shares to have been converted into ordinary shares of the Company at the
time of their issue for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules. Ordinary shares have no par
value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorized capital.
The worleyParsons Limited Plans Trust holds 267,173 (2013: 267,173) shares in the
Company, which has been consolidated and eliminated in accordance with the accounting
standards.

(B) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ISSUED CAPITAL
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the
event of the winding up of the Company, to participate in the proceeds from
the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of and amounts paid
up on shares held. Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in
person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company.
Exchangeable shares
The exchangeable shares were issued by worleyParsons Canada SPV
Limited as part of the consideration for the acquisition of the Colt Group.
Exchangeable shares may be exchanged into ordinary shares of the Company
on a one for one basis (subject to adjustments) at any time by the
exchangeable shareholders.
Exchangeable shares have the right to receive the same cash dividends or
cash distributions as declared on the ordinary shares into which they are
convertible. In the event of the winding up of the Company, the exchangeable
shares would convert to ordinary shares, which would participate in the
proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets pro‑rata with other ordinary
shares.
The exchangeable shares, through a voting trust which holds a special voting
share in the Company, entitle their holders to vote at the Company’s general
meetings as though they hold ordinary shares. During the financial year
ended 30 June 2014, 276,453 (2013: 253,192) exchangeable shares were
exchanged.
Special voting share
The special voting share was issued to Computershare Trust Company of
Canada Limited (Trustee) as part of the consideration for the acquisition of
the Colt Group. The special voting share does not have the right to receive
dividends as declared, and in the event of the winding up of the Company
is unable to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets.
The special voting share has a right to vote together as one class of share
with the holders of ordinary shares in the circumstances in which
shareholders have a right to vote, subject to the Company’s Constitution
and applicable law. The Trustee must vote in the manner instructed by an
exchangeable shareholder in respect of the number of votes that would
attach to the ordinary shares to be received by that exchangeable
shareholder on exchange of its exchangeable shares. The special voting
share has an aggregate number of votes equal to the number of votes
attached to ordinary shares into which the exchangeable shares are retracted
or redeemed.

Performance right conditions
Incentive plan grants are delivered to executive directors and other executives
as performance rights (rights). The rights are issued under the worleyParsons
Performance Rights Plan and are settled in shares when vested.
Each right entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company
at a nil exercise price (i.e. a zero exercise price option). The number of rights
issued is based on the target incentive with reference to the underlying share
price when issued. Rights vest and are automatically exercised after a three
or four year period, subject to minimum performance hurdles being satisfied.
For executives who are key management personnel, the measurement of
performance under the LTI plan is based on the following:
• total shareholder return (TSR) relative to the peer group is at least at the
median of the companies in the peer comparison group (which applies to
50% of potential LTI for FY2014); and
• earnings per share (EPS) growth (which applies to 50% of potential LTI
for FY2014).
WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014 95
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2014
18. ISSUED CAPITAL (continued)
The peer comparison group for LTI grants made in FY2014, the vesting
schedule of the rights subject to the relative TSR hurdle and the vesting
schedule of rights subject to the EPS hurdle are set out in the Remuneration
Report on page 67. Executives will only derive value from the EPS component
of the grants made in FY2014 if the Company achieves average compound
growth in EPS of at least 4% per annum above the increase in consumer price
index (CPI) over the four year performance period.
Other executive employees were granted rights vesting upon achievement
of continuing employment conditions and achievement of a “meeting
expectations performance” rating between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2014.
where a participant leaves the Group, the Board may exercise its discretion
and allow a proportion of any unvested rights to remain in the plan, and
subsequently vest and be exercised in the ordinary course, having regard to
such factors as it determines relevant.
Weighted average remaining contractual life
The weighted average remaining life for the rights outstanding as at 30 June
2014 is 4.7 years (2013: 5.2 years).
Weighted average fair value
The weighted average fair value of rights granted during the year was
$15.76 (2013: $19.50).

The Group has sufficient credits in its foreign income account to ensure that there should be
no Australian dividend withholding tax withheld on dividends paid to non‑resident
shareholders. The unfranked portion of the dividend represents conduit foreign income.
The directors have resolved to pay a final dividend of 51.0 cents per share,
partially franked at 20.5% (2013: 51.0 cents per share, unfranked). Combined
with the half year (interim) dividend, the Company will make total dividend
payments of 85.0 cents per share for the financial year (2013: 92.5 cents per
share). The dividend will be paid on 30 September 2014 for shareholders on
the register at the record date, being 5 September 2014.
In accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets, the aggregate amount of the proposed final dividend of
$125.7 million is not recognized as a liability as at 30 June 2014.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
(D) ACQUISITION OF CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Effective 1 November 2013, worleyParsons Engineering Pty Ltd, a subsidiary
of the Company, acquired an additional 50% net interest in Transfield worley
Limited, currently known as worleyParsons New Zealand Limited, which had
previously been accounted for as equity accounted associate, resulting in
the change in the classification of the investment from equity accounted
associate to subsidiary of the Group. Total cash consideration paid for the
additional net interest was $30.0 million.
The above acquisition contribution to the Group’s reported after tax profit
attributable to members of the Parent Entity was $11.4 million, and the
reported contribution to revenue was $117.6 million. Had this acquisition
taken place at 1 July 2013, the additional contribution to the Group’s profit
after income tax expense would have been $2.0 million and revenue would
have been $61.0 million.

(A) IDENTIFICATION OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer
and the Group Managing Directors (“the chief operating decision makers”) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The operating
segments identified by management are based on the customer sector groups: Hydrocarbons, Minerals, Metals & Chemicals and Infrastructure.
From 1 July 2013, where the Group has undertaken an Infrastructure & Environment or Power related project for a Hydrocarbons or Minerals, Metals & Chemicals
customer, revenue and earnings before interest and income tax expense (EBIT) have been allocated to the relevant segment to which that customer belongs.
This represents a change to the segmentation reported in prior periods where such projects were reported under either the Infrastructure & Environment or
Power sector.
Also from 1 July 2013, the Group has combined the Infrastructure & Environment and Power sectors to create a single customer sector group known as
Infrastructure.
The historical segment results for the year ended 30 June 2013 have been restated to be comparable with the revised segmentation approach as required by
AASB 8 Operating Segments.
Discrete pre‑tax financial information about each of these customer sector groups is reported to the chief operating decision makers on a monthly basis.
The Group’s operations are organized and managed separately according to the nature of the services they provide, with each segment serving different
markets. The Group provides engineering design, project services, maintenance and reliability support services and advisory services to a number of markets.
(B) ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND INTER‑SEGMENT TRANSACTIONS
Segment revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are those that are directly attributable to a segment and the relevant portion that can be allocated to the
segment on a reasonable basis. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist primarily of receivables and plant and equipment. Segment
revenues, expenses and results include transactions between segments incurred in the ordinary course of business. These transactions are priced on an arm’s
length basis and are eliminated on consolidation.
The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally are the same as those contained in note 2.
The segment result includes the allocation of overhead that can be directly attributed to an individual business segment.
The following items and associated assets and liabilities are not allocated to segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
• global support costs;
• restructuring costs;
• interest and tax for associates;
• amortization of acquired intangible assets;
• net gain on revaluation of investments previously accounted for as equity accounted associates;
• net borrowing costs; and
• income tax expense.
(C) MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The most significant customer accounts for 9.3% (2013: 12.4%) of aggregated revenue and is within the Hydrocarbons customer sector group.

Segment revenue represents aggregated revenue, which is defined as statutory revenue and other income plus share of revenue from associates less procurement revenue at nil margin, interest
income and net gain on revaluation of investments previously accounted for as equity accounted associates. The directors believe the disclosure of revenue attributable to associates provides
additional information in relation to the financial performance of the Group.
2 Segment result represents EBIT which is the key financial measure that is presented to the chief operating decision makers.

35. CREDIT RISK
The financial assets of the Group comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade
and other receivables, and derivative financial instruments and off Statement
of Financial Position guarantees and letters of credit. The Group’s exposure to
credit risk arises from potential default of the counterparty, with a maximum
exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at
balance date is addressed in each applicable note. Credit exposure of
derivatives is considered to be any positive market value.
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum
credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting
date was:

Based on historic default rates, the Group believes that no impairment
allowance is necessary in respect of receivables not past due or past due by
up to 30 days other than for specifically identified accounts. The Group’s
typical payment terms are 30 days from date of invoice.
WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014 105
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2014
35. CREDIT RISK (continued)
The allowance amounts in respect of trade receivables are used to record
impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the
amount owing is possible; at that point, the amount is considered
irrecoverable and is written off against the financial asset directly.
Counterparties with receivables neither past due nor impaired are assessed
as creditworthy.
36. LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial
obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to
ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when
due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

37. CURRENCY RISK
The Group operates internationally and is therefore subject to foreign currency risk. In the ordinary course of business, the Group structures its contracts to be
in the functional currency of the country where the work is performed and cost is incurred. If Group entities enter into transactions in currencies other than their
respective functional currencies, in order to hedge the resulting foreign currency transaction risk, the Group utilizes derivative financial instruments (e.g. forward
exchange contracts and foreign currency options).
A number of the Group controlled entities have a functional currency other than AUD. The exchange gains or losses on the net equity investment of foreign
operations are reflected in the foreign currency translation reserve within the Parent Entity’s equity. Currency exposure arising from the net assets of the
Group’s foreign operations is managed primarily through borrowings denominated in the relevant foreign currencies.
(A) FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
The Group is exposed to exchange rate transaction risk on foreign currency sales, purchases, and loans to and from related entities. The most significant
exchange risk is Norwegian Kroner payables maturing in the next six months to December 2014 of $46.9 million. when required, hedging is undertaken through
transactions entered into in the foreign exchange markets. Forward exchange contracts have been used for hedging purposes. Forward exchange contracts are
generally accounted for as cash flow hedges.
At balance date, the details of significant outstanding contracts were:

As these contracts are hedging anticipated future receipts and sales to the extent that they satisfy hedge accounting criteria, any unrealized gains and losses
on the contracts, together with the cost of the contracts, are deferred and will be recognized in the measurement of the underlying transaction provided the
underlying transaction is still expected to occur as originally designated. Included in the amounts deferred are any gains and losses on hedging contracts
terminated prior to maturity where the related hedged transaction is still expected to occur as designated.
The gains and losses deferred in the Statement of Financial Position were:
Effective hedge – unrealized gains
Effective hedge – unrealized losses

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 30 June 2014
38. INTEREST RATE RISK (continued)
39. FAIR VALUES
(B) INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACTS
Exmouth Power Station Pty Limited, 100% owned by a wholly owned
subsidiary of worleyParsons Limited, built and operates the Exmouth Power
Station and has drawn down on a loan facility which currently has a floating
interest rate. It is policy to protect part of the loan from exposure to
increasing interest rates. Accordingly, the entity has entered into an interest
rate swap contract under which it is obliged to receive interest at variable
rates and to pay interest at fixed rates. The contract is settled on a net basis
and the net amount receivable or payable at the reporting date is included in
other receivables or payables.
The contract requires settlement of net interest receivable or payable six
monthly. The settlement dates coincide with the dates on which interest is
payable on the underlying debt.
Swaps currently in place cover approximately 97.5% (2013: 97.5%) of the
loan principal outstanding and are timed to expire as each loan repayment
falls due. The fixed interest rate is 5.89% (2013: 5.89%) per annum.
At 30 June 2014, the notional principal amounts and periods of expiry of the
interest rate swap contracts were as follows:

However, these are classified as liabilities held for sale. Refer to note 27.
As these contracts are hedging anticipated future receipts and sales, any
unrealized gains and losses on the contract, together with the cost of the
contract, are deferred and will be recognized in the measurement of the
underlying transactions provided the underlying transactions are still
expected to occur as originally designated. Included in the amounts deferred
are any gains and losses on hedging contracts terminated prior to maturity
where the related hedging transaction is still expected to occur as
designated. This contract has been accounted for as a cash flow hedge.
(C) CASH FLOW SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR VARIABLE INTEREST BEARING
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
A change of 100 basis points (BP) per annum in interest rates at the reporting
date would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit by the amounts
shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular
foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the

110 WorleyParsons Annual Report 2014
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining the fair value of a
financial asset or liability:
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets;
and
Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
with the exception of the finance lease receivable, derivatives and interest
bearing loans and borrowings (which are considered Level 2), the carrying
value of all of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair
value due to their short term maturities.
Derivative instruments including interest rate swaps and forward exchange
contracts are restated to fair values at each reporting date based on market
observable inputs such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest
rate curves and forward rates curves.
Fair values of the Group’s finance lease receivable and interest bearing loans
and borrowings are determined by discounting future cash flows using
year‑end borrowing rates on receivables and loans and borrowings with
similar terms, credit risk and maturity.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2, and no financial instruments
were measured at Level 3 (where fair value is measured using unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability) for the periods presented in this report.
The basis for determining fair values is disclosed in note 2(w).
40. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Since the end of the financial year, the directors have resolved to pay a final
dividend of 51.0 cents per fully paid ordinary share, including exchangeable
shares, partially franked at 20.5% (2013: 51.0 cents per share, unfranked).
In accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets, the aggregate amount of the proposed final dividend of
$125.7 million is not recognized as a liability as at 30 June 2014.
No other material matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2014 that
has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:
• the consolidated entity’s operations in future financial years;
• the results of those operations in future financial years; or
• the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Brownfield project
A project which is constrained by prior work. Such projects very often involve rebuilding or re-engineering a facility from an
existing facility. Such a project may be contrasted with a “greenfield project” which is a project that lacks constraints imposed by
prior work – for example, a project that, apart from a small number of interfaces with existing facilities, is a standalone project.

Our framework for integrating sustainability into our customers’ projects and operations. That framework assists them in
making decisions where trade-offs exist between technical, social, environmental and financial performance.
Engineering and Procurement
Engineering, Procurement and Construction
Under an EPC contract, we will generally be responsible for the design, the procurement of equipment and materials, and the
construction and commissioning of an asset, such as a power station. This will generally require us to ensure that the completed
asset meets certain specified performance targets. To do so, we will generally procure the necessary equipment and materials
and engage various subcontractors ourselves.
Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation
Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management
Under an EPCM contract, we will generally be responsible for providing our professional services, but unlike an EPC contract, will
not be responsible for delivering a completed asset to our customer. Instead, we will provide engineering and design services
to our customer, procure equipment but only as agent for our customer and manage our customer’s other suppliers as the
customer’s representative. We will generally be paid an hourly rate for the services we provide.
Front-end engineering design
Basic engineering design providing owners and their financiers with information enabling them to determine whether or not,
and if so how, to commit resources to a proposed project to maximize its projected returns.
