Worley Annual Report 2020CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
We are positioned for the future
and accelerating our transformation
and was then appointed CEO in 2012. Andrew has made an
enormous contribution to the growth of Worley. He led the
company-defining acquisitions of Parsons E&C Corporation in
2004, Colt Group in 2007 and ECR in 2019. Andrew’s contribution
has been fundamental in shaping the company we are today.
Our people are key to our success
The commitment and passion of our people during the ECR
integration activities has been key to its success. More
recently, our people have demonstrated great resilience and
determination in what has been a challenging period during the
COVID-19 pandemic. The Board recognizes the success of our
business is underpinned by our people, and the Board expresses
its deep appreciation for their contribution during the year.
Our response to COVID-19
The current economic circumstances have led to a rapidly
changing environment for our business. We were agile in our
response and acted early to protect our people, to maintain
financial and operational integrity, and to support our customers
and communities.
We continued to successfully deliver projects and provide
services to support our customers with most of our office-based
people working from home. We also continued to provide field-
based services to build, improve, maintain and operate critical
infrastructure in Australia and around the world.
We took measures to maintain our financial and operational
integrity during this time and strengthened our liquidity position
by extending existing and securing additional facilities. We will
continue to respond to the economic conditions as the global
impact of COVID-19 evolves.
The safety and well-being of our people
is our priority
We are committed to providing a respectful, safe and
healthy environment where we support each other and our
communities. Our teams maintain industry leading safety
performance. This year, our Total Recordable Case Frequency
Rate was 0.16 across the Group. We’re deeply saddened to report
the death of one of our colleagues this year. One of our vehicles
was travelling on a public road when a power pole fell and
impacted the vehicle cabin.
We are delivering on acquisition commitments
The successful integration of the ECR business has delivered
on expectations communicated at the time of the acquisition.
We are delivering cost, margin and revenue synergies in line
with our commitments. We have also increased our cost synergy
target to $190 million per annum by April 2021. We have
combined the best of both organizations by adopting common
safety, sales and operations systems and processes, and by
harmonizing our knowledge and management system.

John Grill AO
Chairman and Non-Executive Director
Worley is a pre-eminent global provider
of professional project and asset
services in energy, chemicals and
resources. We are proudly a global
company headquartered in Australia.
As Australia’s largest exporter of
knowledge-based services, we use
our position to support our customers
across the world transition towards a
low-carbon future.
This year is an important milestone in our history. FY2020 was
our first full year operating as the new Worley and we have
many achievements to celebrate. We successfully integrated the
Energy, Chemicals and Resources division of Jacobs Engineering
Group Inc. or “ECR” business, delivering cost and revenue
synergies beyond those we identified pre-acquisition. This year
we have increased our revenue and improved underlying EBITA
margin compared with FY2019 and demonstrated earnings
resilience in the face of the economic circumstances resulting
from the COVID-19 pandemic. We have laid the foundation for
our future; now we are fast-tracking our transformation.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Andrew Wood, our
retiring CEO. I’ve worked closely with Andrew over many years
and I wish him and his family all the best for his retirement.
His long and distinguished career with us spanned 26 years
including 17 years on overseas assignments. He was
appointed Group Managing Director – Finance / CFO in 2011
Worley Annual Report 2020CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Our Climate Change Position Statement
Worley acknowledges the findings of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change. We contribute our project delivery
and technical expertise to enable our customers to meet
the world’s changing energy needs in a safe, responsible
and sustainable manner, in line with the ambitions of both
the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals.
Worley is committed to achieving net zero Scope 1 and
Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and to
pro-actively supporting our customers to reduce emissions
on their projects and assets. We will keep our stakeholders
informed of our strategy and progress against established
metrics, including the recommendations of the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosure.
Our strategic actions
Develop a net zero
road map for our
Scope 1 and Scope
2 greenhouse
gas emissions
Review our Scope 3
emissions and develop

projects using our
Responsible Business
Assessment Standard
Report our progress
in line with the
recommendations
of the Task Force
on Climate-related
Financial Disclosures
Our business is more diversified
We are a more resilient business following the completion of the
ECR acquisition with increased diversification across geographies
and sectors as well as greater exposure to our customers’
operating expenditures which are historically less variable in
periods of industry downturn. We have a lower exposure to
upstream oil and gas capital expenditure which now represents
only 20% of our business and have an increased exposure to
the less cyclical chemicals sector. Revenue derived from our
customers’ operating expenditures now represents 45% of total
revenue. Operating expenditure contracts tend to be longer term
multi-year contracts.
Our increased diversification has been particularly important
during the economic circumstances we experienced this year.
The successful integration of the
ECR business has delivered on
the expectations communicated
to investors.
We delivered sound financial performance
The Group reported an underlying net profit after tax of
$432 million. This is up 66% on the 2019 underlying result. We
delivered a positive operating cash flow of $829 million, with
more consistent earnings due to our increased diversification
and increased exposure to our customers’ operational
expenditures. Our gearing excluding lease liabilities is at 18.3%,
and leverage has decreased to 1.8 times.
The Board declared a final dividend payment of 25 cents per fully
paid ordinary share, unfranked. This is in addition to the interim
dividend of 25 cents per share for a total dividend of 50 cents per
share for the full year. As a result, we will distribute 60% of our
full year underlying profit after tax excluding the post-tax impact
of amortization on intangible assets acquired through business
combinations for FY2020 to shareholders as dividend.
We are accelerating our transformation
The current economic circumstances have given us an
opportunity to accelerate our transformation and we have taken
action to re-position the business. The industries we work in
remain committed to the energy transition and digital revolution.
These movements will open opportunities across all sectors that
we serve.
Transitioning the world’s energy systems will require technical,
engineering and project delivery expertise. We are already a
leader in delivering these types of projects and we can leverage
our domain knowledge and expertise to support customers
around the world.
We strengthened our Energy Transition
and Digital capabilities
In FY2020, we completed two transactions to grow our
capabilities in renewable and distributed energy. We acquired
3sun to deliver installation, inspection and maintenance
expertise in the offshore wind sector. We also formed a joint
venture with XENDEE called VECKTA; a distributed energy
system, microgrids and storage business.
Our investments in offshore wind and distributed networks
further strengthen our ability to support our customers, locally
and globally, through the energy transition.

Worley Annual Report 2020We launched our new purpose and values
A clear purpose is a key element of strategy; it provides context
for decision making and is the driving force that pulls our
organization together. To support our transformation, it has been
important for us to reflect on our Company purpose, and the role
we see ourselves playing in our industries. Simply, our purpose is
to deliver a more sustainable world.
Alongside our new purpose, we have launched new values
that reflect our transformation, capture our culture and honor
our heritage.
We revised our Climate Change
Position Statement
Delivering a more sustainable world includes addressing
climate change which will have significant implications for
the industries we serve. We have revised our Climate Change
Position Statement to strengthen our commitment to addressing
climate change. To help us achieve our climate ambition we have
developed a set of strategic actions. We have an important
role to play in supporting our customers reduce their energy
consumption and carbon footprint as we transition to a low-
carbon future. Our teams will proactively engage with our
customers and bring their technical skill to bear on opportunities
to reduce carbon emissions. We believe this is the biggest impact
we can have. The Board will support management in the actions
they take to align with our new position.
We will help our customers
decarbonize their existing
facilities and deliver new energy
infrastructure.
We remain committed to sustainability
In FY2020, we completed a sustainability materiality review in
alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals. The review identified sustainability topics of significance
to our investors, customers, employees and community partners
for us to act on.
We continued working towards the recommendations of the
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. We have
also embedded sustainability considerations in our business
processes. These will inform our decision making around bidding
work by prompting us to consider risk issues such as ethical
business practices, carbon emissions intensity and social license.
Worley is committed to providing a workplace that is diverse
and inclusive of people from a wide range of backgrounds.
We have improved the gender diversity of the Group Executive
and communicated a strong position of intolerance of racism
and exclusion.
Maintaining and enhancing our reputation for integrity, honesty
and ethical practices is important to the Board. As we transform
our business it will continue to be a critical factor in our future
success. We comply with all applicable laws and conduct our
business to the highest standard – a standard to which we hold
our partners and agents, not only ourselves.
We made changes to the Board and management
On 24 February 2020, Chris Ashton became Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director of the Group and a member of the
Board following Andrew Wood’s retirement. Chris has been at
Worley since 1998 and has held many leadership roles including
Chief Operating Officer responsible for the integration of ECR. I’m
looking forward to continuing to work with Chris as we accelerate
our transformation.
There have also been changes to the Board over the last
12 months. Firstly, we said farewell to Catherine Livingstone.
Catherine was Lead Independent Director, and had been a
member of the Board since 2007. She had also been a Chairman
of the Audit and Risk Committee as well as a member of the
Nominations Committee. Catherine has been a great contributor
to Worley and personally Catherine has been a great sounding
board for me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank
Catherine for her significant contributions to the Board.
Secondly, we welcome Martin Parkinson. Martin was appointed
to the Board on 24 February 2020. Martin served as inaugural
Secretary of the Department of Climate Change and has
extensive advisory experience having served the Australian
Government and Prime Ministers on economic, social, foreign,
defence and national security policies for almost 40 years.
Finally, Chris Haynes and Andrew Liveris took up new positions
as Lead Independent Director and Deputy Chairman respectively.
We have a strong governance program
The Group recognizes its responsibilities to its shareholders,
customers, employees and suppliers as well as to the
communities in which it operates.
The Board ensures that the Group meets all safety, performance
and governance standards. It has ultimate authority over of the
Group and regards corporate governance as a critical element
in achieving the Group’s objectives. Accordingly, the Board has
a number of committees to discharge its duties. This year, we
formalized Board-level governance over the sustainability
program following a change in charter and name from the
Health, Safety and Environment committee to the Health, Safety
and Sustainability committee. The responsibilities of the People
and Remuneration Committee, formerly the Remuneration
Committee, were expanded to include People strategy and
policies. We changed our Company name to Worley Limited at
the Annual General Meeting in October 2019.
Finally, thank you
Thank you to the directors, the leadership team and, most
importantly, to our people for their contribution in a year
where we have delivered on our promises and withstood great
challenges. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their
continued support. We will continue to respond to current
economic conditions as the global impact of the COVID-19
pandemic evolves. I look forward to working with you to create
an exciting future for our Company.

Worley Annual Report 2020CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REVIEW
Transforming faster to emerge stronger
Responding to COVID-19
Our people: As the COVID-19 pandemic escalated it has
devastated communities around the world. We have felt this
through the loss of six of our colleagues to the virus; sadly,
two prior to 30 June and four since. Our thoughts are with
their families.
Within a matter of weeks our teams adapted to new ways
of working in response to the rapidly changing environment
resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 40,000 of our
office-based workforce transitioned to working from home, in
some countries in the space of 24 hours. Enabled by our robust
technology platforms, we were able to continue to successfully
deliver services for our customers across the world. We modified
field practices for our site-based teams to keep them safe
while supporting our customers’ critical infrastructure facilities.
We shared these safety lessons across the industry and we
supported the communities in which we work.
Business response: We protected our cash, managed receivables
and postponed all non-essential capital expenditure. We
optimized staff levels while maintaining capability and adjusted
both operational and support cost structures. After entering
the period of disruption in a stable financial position, we
strengthened our liquidity.
Our business is more diversified from both a geographic and
sector standpoint as a result of the strategic acquisitions of
UK Integrated Solutions in 2017 and ECR in 2019. We have
responded to the economic circumstances and demonstrated
through our performance our ability to adapt. As the global
economic landscape develops we will continue to take
necessary action.
Our people have risen to the challenge
Our continued delivery during COVID-19 is thanks to the
extraordinary efforts of our people. The agility and resilience
they continue to demonstrate exemplifies the spirit of Worley.
I’d like to thank each and every one of our people for their
continued dedication.
Our people are the heart of our business. We are building Worley
to be welcoming and inclusive and we want all our people to
genuinely feel this is a place where they belong and where their
voice matters. We are committed to diversity in all its forms,
and we recognize that our diversity is our strength.
Protecting our people remains paramount
Our safety performance is industry leading and safety, health
and well-being is at the forefront of everything we do. This
year however we sadly lost a member of our team. One of our
vehicles was travelling on a public road when a power pole fell
and impacted the vehicle cabin. Above all else we remember our
colleague and keep their family and friends in our thoughts.

Chris Ashton
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director
I am pleased to present Worley’s 2020 Annual Report –
my first as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.
Before I begin, I’d like to recognize and thank Andrew Wood.
Andrew has been a great leader, mentor and friend. Thanks to his
leadership over the past seven years, we’re well positioned for
continued success.
As I reflect on our one-year anniversary as Worley, we’ve
successfully integrated our two heritage organizations to create
a dynamic and more diverse business. I am confident we have
built a platform on which we will continue to transform our
business. It’s a privilege to assume the leadership of this great
Australian company as we step into our new future.
We are at a critical moment in time;
living and working in the midst of
health and economic circumstances
on a scale never experienced before.
At the same time, we’re on the
cusp of fundamental global shifts
in our industry.
Forces including climate change, the energy transition,
the increasing importance of the circular economy and the
digitalization of our industries are changing not only the markets
we serve, but also how our customers see themselves and their
role in the energy, chemicals and resources sectors.
These changes present us with an opportunity to stand up and
stand out from the crowd, to rise to the challenges before us and
transform faster to emerge stronger.
Worley Annual Report 2020CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REVIEW
In pursuit of continuous improvement, we launched Life in
January 2020. Life is our safety, health and well-being approach
which connects our health, safety and environment practices,
systems and tools under one Worley program. The program
empowers our people to act, challenge and improve.
The safety, health and well-being of our people, communities
and the environment are fundamental to Life. Without it,
nothing else matters.
Our new purpose, delivering a more sustainable world, describes
the intent that our work will make a significant contribution to
more sustainable communities and nations, ultimately improving
well-being and the health of the world in which we live.
Alongside our purpose, our values will guide, align and stretch
our people. They represent the behaviors and standards we
believe are fundamental for the right culture that underpins
successful business outcomes.
Delivering results
In FY2020, our aggregated revenue grew to $11,249 million
(up 75% on prior corresponding period) and underlying EBITA was
up 80% to $743 million. Underlying EBITA margins have improved
and staff utilization remains on target. We delivered a strong
underlying cash flow of $881 million, compared to $239 million
in FY2019. Our diversified business has shown resilience with
greater exposure to our customers’ operating expenditure,
sustaining capital contracts and the chemicals sector.
We have integrated the ECR business and we are now delivering
the remaining integration activities as part of normal operations.
We now have shared global systems in place for safety, sales and
operations with financial systems in progress. We are delivering
on our acquisition cost synergy commitments. We have
already delivered savings of $177 million per annum and have
subsequently increased our target to $190 million run rate
by April 2021.

We will deliver on our new Climate Change
Position Statement
Our new Climate Change Position Statement signals where our
future lies; as leaders in a world transitioning to consuming
low-carbon and carbon-free energy. It will have an increasingly
important role to play in our strategy.
We’re committed to achieving net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2
greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and to pro-actively
supporting our customers to reduce emissions on their projects
and assets.
The biggest role we have to play is in supporting our customers
on their sustainability journeys. Our Sustainable Solutions
process empowers our people to use their technical skills
to deliver quantifiable reductions in our customers’ carbon
emissions. We will help our customers to make the necessary
long-term changes to energy systems for a low-carbon future.
Our Responsible Business Assessment Standard will be used to
assess our involvement in carbon-intensive projects.
Creating our future: our transformation strategy
We’ve been on our transformation journey since we completed
the ECR acquisition. We’ve diversified into different markets
and solidified our leadership position in energy, chemicals
and resources.
Our transformation strategy puts us in a position to realize
the opportunities that sustainability, including the energy
transition, and the digitalization of our industry present.
These opportunities exist across all the sectors we work in.
Operating expenditure
Modification, sustaining
and small capital
Major capital projects
We will work with our customers
and other stakeholders to support
them on their sustainability
journeys.
Redefining our purpose
A clear purpose and set of values are key aspects of our strategy.
A series of workshops were held across the globe to understand
the perspectives of our people. Their input has been shaped to
form our new purpose and values. Together, they motivate and
engage our people while sending a message to our stakeholders
about who we are and the difference we can make in the world.
We will support our customers through the energy transition.
Many of our customers have recently re-confirmed their
commitment to the energy transition and their climate
ambitions. We’re undertaking many world-first projects that
will define our industry’s future. We have the expertise across
our business that we can marshal and deploy anywhere to
solve challenges. Where needed, we can deliver this at pace,
and at scale.

We value Life
We believe in the safety,

our people, communities
and the environment.
Without it nothing else
matters.
We Rise to the
Challenge
We love a challenge.
We go the extra mile

We are Stronger

We thrive in real relationships

networks and collaboration.
We recognize our differences

And we Unlock
Brilliance
We are passionate
about innovating and
learning. We value, share
and grow our expertise.
We will change the way we work by using automation and
digital products supporting the digitalization of our industry.
Many of our customers are seeking fast to market, standard
solutions and expecting an increasingly data-centric approach
from design to delivery as well as for site operations. Our
technology platforms are at the core of our value proposition
and we are developing digital solutions for our customers.
We will deliver our services using engagement models
that reflect the value we bring. Our customers are seeking
engagement models that deliver more efficient outcomes and
meet the unique needs of each challenge. We will partner with our
customers in models that drive innovation and value creation.
With this reorganization, we will migrate our business into two
geographic regions. The regional structure allows us to simplify
how we engage with our customers and more effectively deliver
work across the full asset life cycle. Project Delivery will ensure
the highest quality work for our customers. New roles of Growth
and Energy Transition & Digital will drive the development and
implementation of our strategy. Given the importance of safety,
health and well-being as well as the role of sustainability to
our future, I’m pleased to have Health, Safety & Sustainability
leadership join the Group Executive.
Our new Group Executive team is listed on page ten, and includes
equal female representation. I am proud to lead this team.
A new way of working
We’re driving an accelerated cultural shift in the way we work as
part of our transformation strategy. I believe this shift has been
brought forward by as much as a decade; the global disruption we
are facing acting as a catalyst for this change. We’re simplifying
our business to better support our customers, drive new ways of
working and to support the execution of our strategy.
Our new way of working will deliver operational savings of
approximately $275 million per annum by 31 December 2021.

at 30 June 2020. These savings are in addition to the ECR
acquisition cost synergies. Our four focus areas are optimizing
our property model, minimizing discretionary spend,
increasing our use of shared services and streamlining our
organizational structure.
Looking forward
This is an exciting moment in our history as we accelerate our
transformation plans and step into a new future.
To our shareholders, thank you for the confidence you have in
your company and for your support. To our remarkable people,
it’s you who have brought us to this position. I’m looking forward
to seeing you continue to succeed, develop and grow to your full

Worley Annual Report 2020CORE MARKET TRENDS & CASE STUDIES
Energy
Upstream and Midstream
The decline in the oil price in 2020 has caused many
hydrocarbons production companies to reduce their planned
capital spend in the calendar year by an average of 30%.
Oil demand is expected to recover in FY2021, an outlook
supported by broad-based OPEC+ production cuts. We are now
more resilient to volatile market conditions through our recent
acquisitions of UK Integrated Solutions and ECR. We’ve gained
long-term contracts that are more exposed to the operating
expenditure and sustaining capital expenditure budgets of our
customers. We’ve also expanded our work with Middle East
National Oil Companies and we continue to support the major
International Oil Companies via global framework agreements.
The drive to lower the carbon intensity of the oil and gas
sector will continue
Shareholder pressure and social license needs are behind this
shift. We expect global demand to position gas as the world’s
transition fuel, supporting the growth of the renewable energy
sector. It’s likely to remain a key area of investment in the coming
years. Our world leading gas capability spans across the gas
value chain from upstream to LNG regasification, gas-fired power
generation to the emerging hydrogen economy. Our LNG center
of excellence in Australia has been involved in 50% of the world’s
LNG liquefaction facilities and LNG regasification plants. We have
long term operational support service contracts, supporting
critical infrastructure in Australia, the US and around the world.

CASE STUDY
LOWERING CARBON INTENSITY
OF OFFSHORE OPERATIONS
We are developing an in-line liquid removal system that
increases the recoverable reserves of gas fields and
reduces production CO2 emissions. The unit removes the
liquid produced by wells and condensed from the gas as
it flows through the pipeline. The pseudo dry gas flows
more efficiently allowing the distance of subsea tie-backs
to be increased. The requirement for energy intensive
compression can be eliminated, reducing CO2 emissions
by upwards of 80%. The Oil & Gas Technology Centre,
Cranfield University, UK, and industry sponsors have
supported the project development.

CASE STUDY
CARBON CAPTURE, UTILIZATION AND STORAGE
Gorgon CO2 Enhanced Dehydration Project -
Chevron Australia
The Gorgon CO2 injection facilities are the world’s largest
of their kind and represent the largest greenhouse
abatement project undertaken by industry. We expect
that up to four million tonnes of reservoir CO2 will be
injected each year into the Dupuy Formation beneath
Barrow Island. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions
from the Gorgon LNG facility by approximately 40%. 100
million tonnes of CO2 will be injected over the life of the
Gorgon Project instead of being vented to atmosphere
per standard industry practice.
The Gorgon CO2 Enhanced Dehydration Project enabled
the safe and reliable start-up of the Gorgon CO2 injection
facilities. Our scope included engineering, procurement
and supporting the construction, commissioning and
start-up activities. The project implemented a number
of significant modifications which ensured the injection
facilities meet required parameters.
Worley Annual Report 2020CASE STUDY
OFFSHORE WIND
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has awarded Worley
a contract for statutory inspections and general maintenance
of wind-turbine-generator cranes and lifts across all turbines
on the London Array offshore wind farm. This award follows the
acquisition of 3sun in October 2019, which provided Worley with a
leading position in the high growth offshore wind energy services
sector in the UK and Europe.
The London Array offshore wind farm consists of 175 turbines
installed over 20 kilometres, off the Kent coast in the outer
Thames Estuary in the United Kingdom. Generating 630MW, the
London Array offshore wind farm produces enough energy to
power approximately 470,000 homes, displacing approximately
900,000 tonnes of CO2 a year.
CASE STUDY
DISTRIBUTED ENERGY SYSTEMS
Worley has launched VECKTA – a joint venture
revolutionizing the way microgrids and Distributed
Energy Systems (DES) are delivered. DES refers to
renewable and conventional power generation, storage
and control systems that operate either on-site at a
specific facility, or nearby and at the distribution level of
the grid. Through VECKTA, Worley provides the world’s
most advanced energy system engineering tools to
optimise DES design. The VECKTA platform offers
the world’s first integrated, cloud-based marketplace
connecting those who need energy with a global network
of equipment, finance and project delivery providers.
VECKTA can assess and design DES 90% faster than
traditional methods using the core energy system
optimization software developed by XENDEE. VECKTA
empowers the industry to co-create low-carbon energy
solutions that are reliable, cost competitive and safer
than conventional solutions.
Over 31,000 microgrids have been modelled using the
software, and we have delivered DES projects across
North America and APAC, including a first-of-a-kind direct
current microgrid for research and development at the
University of Toronto.

Power
Power is a core component of the energy transition. The Power
sector shows strong growth as we continue the electrification
of processes and energy users continue to seek low
emissions options.
We have seen increased interest in renewables
The COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil prices have impacted
electricity markets and projects globally. As a result, there’s
been a drop in the use of coal and gas for generation. This,
however, has led to an upswing in demand for renewable-related
services. This includes electricity use in evolving value chains,
such as low-carbon hydrogen, which are particularly relevant to
our customers.
Given this outlook, our power business will continue to drive
growth in technologies of higher complexity and low risk
for commoditization.
We are focusing on our offshore wind business as the industry
grows and matures
This includes expanding our operations and services following
the acquisition of 3sun last year. We’re seeing good market
penetration of our distributed energy systems business and
significant interest in our new VECKTA joint venture. Within
this, and the emerging hydrogen economy, we see substantial
opportunities for growth.
Our nuclear and combustion energy businesses also show good
prospects, and we are continuously enhancing our capability
across all power elements including electricity networks and
operations and maintenance.
Worley Annual Report 2020CORE MARKET TRENDS & CASE STUDIES
Chemicals
Refining
Climate regulation, shifts in demand and tightening operating
margins are creating global headwinds for the refining industry.
This is driving attention towards petrochemical feedstock
production and large oil to chemicals projects. Refiners remain
focused on improving efficiency, reducing energy and operational
costs, with a view to reducing carbon intensity.
In response to the short-term disruption to jet fuel and gasoline
demand the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, refiners have
reduced throughput and delayed maintenance and turnaround
programs.
As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic,
we expect fuel demand to increase
Initially, this demand will be for gasoline and diesel, followed by
jet fuel. As a result, this will accelerate the market dominance
of large export refining hubs and investment in Asia. Smaller,
simpler refineries will remain under pressure.
Our business has shown resilience to market changes
This is because our refining business relies on a mix of expansion
and sustaining capital spend. We’re a leading global player
in delivering renewable diesel projects. We’re continuing to
see increased capital spend in these energy transition fuels,
particularly in Europe and the US. And we expect this to
accelerate as governments direct stimulus towards investment
in new energy.
Petrochemicals
Investment will continue to follow GDP growth rates and
the sector is expected to show increased growth once again
from 2021. This is due to underlying trends in population
demographics and continual product substitution by plastics.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected demand with
varying impacts
Demand for polypropylene and low-density polyethylene
has surged. This is linked to increased production of personal
protective equipment and single-use food wrapping. As the
global economy emerges from the pandemic, we are expecting
an increase in petrochemicals demand, especially in Asia.
Low crude prices and decreased demand for fuels will add
another dimension to investment
Historically, lower crude oil prices are a catalyst for
petrochemical investments in countries that depend on imports,
particularly China and India. At the same time, producing
countries look to integrate petrochemicals complexes with their
refineries as a way to maintain profitability.
We are focused on becoming a full-service, global leader in
plastic waste recycling
Plastic waste recycling and the production of bio-based plastics
continue to attract global attention, with a number of new
technologies moving from concept to demonstration – and
into commercialization.
CASE STUDY
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Our experience in technology development within the
Refining and Chemicals sector as well as our scale-up
knowledge has allowed us to contribute in the early
stages of the developing circular economy. We have
partnered with Agilyx and INEOS Styrolution to provide
engineering design services for a commercial-scale
polystyrene chemical recycling facility in the US. We are
also the engineering partner to Velocys for their projects
in the US and UK to convert waste feedstocks into
sustainable aviation and road transport fuels. In addition,
we are providing front end engineering design services to
develop Avantium’s 100% plant-based product that is a
key building block for many chemicals and plastics.

CASE STUDY
RENEWABLE DIESEL
We have been involved in almost every major renewable
fuel project in the US in the last ten years. Over the last
five years we have worked on projects that contribute
to over 50% of the total renewable diesel capacity in the
US, positioning us well for the $25 billion investment
we expect in the US and Europe over the next 10 years.
These projects are driven by California’s Low Carbon
Fuel Standard and US Environmental Protection Agency
Renewable Identification number credits. Canada and
Europe have similarly implemented or are targeting
low-carbon intensity fuel standards to drive a wave of
renewable fuel investments. Our global footprint allows
us to support customers in these regions.
In 2020 we provided detailed engineering services to
convert an existing crude oil refinery to a 100% renewable
diesel operation in the US. We are now working on
engineering and procurement activities for multiple
renewable diesel projects in the US and Europe, including
refinery conversions and standalone plants, with an
anticipated aggregate output of 2.5 billion gallons
per year.
Specialty Chemicals
Specialty chemicals continue to be our focus within the broad
chemicals sector. This is because the market demonstrates
the highest mid to long-term growth, particularly in end-user
markets positively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
These include:
• detergents
• electronic chemicals
• specialty polymers
• nutraceutical ingredients.
The specialty chemicals market is expected to grow at a rate
of almost double global GDP
Our centers of excellence are located in the world’s growth
areas for specialty chemicals – namely Europe, China and the
US. We can access and deploy this capability to support projects
anywhere in the world. We have long-standing relationships with
the top producers in Europe and North America and we have
global reach across Asia, where the majority of investments
are expected.
Projects tend to be driven by innovation and are centered on
a speed-to-market approach. We’re developing a new delivery
model in collaboration with our customers to meet these
requirements; we intend to be the global leader for project
delivery in this market.

NEWCREST LIHIR
The Worley Projects & Engineering Alliance Team
supporting the Newcrest Lihir Operation in Papua New
Guinea (PNG) provide a wide range of services covering
the entire project delivery life cycle. Our work includes
all areas on the island: from the gold processing plant
and its support infrastructure to projects off the mining
lease which benefit the local community. As an alliance,
our community improvement programs have included
the distribution of personal solar lights to children
living in isolated villages, reforming a local beach with
recycled mine-site tyres and water sanitation for
seaside communities.
Creating further economic value and expanding
opportunities for PNG nationals will remain a focus for
both companies. In establishing the alliance, one of our
key commitments was that we would be able to offer
local people jobs, mentoring and career development
with Worley.
CORE MARKET TRENDS & CASE STUDIES
Resources
Mining, Minerals & Metals
Demand uncertainty following the COVID-19 pandemic has given
rise to volatility in commodity pricing. Companies may defer
greenfield capital spend across most commodities, although
spend on bringing replacement mines into production will remain
a strong feature in iron ore.
Commodity demand is highly geared towards China
Chinese consumption represents 70% of global seaborne
iron ore demand. It also represents 50-55% of demand
for copper, aluminium, nickel and zinc. We expect the
recovering Chinese economy and fiscal stimulus to support
commodity consumption.
Major and mid-tier customers enjoy strong balance sheets
and recovering demand
We expect confidence in miners’ capital spend to improve in the
latter part of calendar 2020 as access to remote sites becomes
easier for people and materials and the industry gears up to
meet improved demand for commodities in the years ahead.
The trend towards accelerated sustaining capital investment is
continuing, as miners seek to extend the life of mines, improve
productivity and maintain market share.
Long-term underlying global trends support growth commodities
These include iron ore, copper, gold and fertilizers. As significant,
near surface deposits are depleted, the need to exploit
deeper, more complex orebodies at the lowest cost will drive
the industry. Underground mining is where companies will
spend proportionally higher capital in the future. It is capital
intensive and developing successful solutions will call for close,
collaborative relationships.
Customers will continue to focus on improving operational
efficiency via data-enabled and automated technology. We
remain focused on building our digital mine concept to increase
capital and operational efficiency of assets and to improve
safety. Our immediate focus is on investing in phosphates in
North Africa and Middle East, iron ore in Australia as well as
copper and gold across all key mining markets.
CASE STUDY
DIGITAL MINE OF THE FUTURE
We are leading in the development and implementation
of digital solutions for the mining industry. Our goal is to
adopt technology to increase efficiency in project delivery,
operational performance and long-term sustainability
outcomes. Our approach maximizes the use of the digital
asset, smart construction solutions, field computing
technologies and a reduced operational carbon footprint.
We have created an asset information lifecycle and a digital
asset information framework to help customers manage
their physical and digital asset for the whole life of mine
through multiple projects. This includes key components
such as digital platforms for modelling, visualization and
analytics, truckless mining, sensor integration, digital twins,
modularization and automation and control systems.
18
Worley Annual Report 2020Achieved 9%
increase in overall
copper production
CASE STUDY
NEXTORE
NextOre, our joint venture with CSIRO and RFC Ambrian
has developed a magnetic resonance (MR) ore sorting
technology which provides near instantaneous whole-of-
ore grade estimates. MR works by pulsing radio waves into
a moving sample of ore and measuring the response. The
radio signal is tuned specifically to the resonant frequency
unique to the target mineral, producing accurate real-time
grade measurements. Waste material can be diverted before
entering the processing plant, resulting in higher mill feed
grades and lower amount of waste material being processed
and sent to tailings. The measurable efficiency improvements
allow mining companies to take a leap forward in sustainability,
reduce site consumption and decrease unit costs.
In 2019 NextOre worked with a TSX-listed company to install
a bulk ore sorting plant at their mine in Latin America. Despite
very high operational mixing, overall copper metal feed to the
plant increased over the four-month evaluation period by as
much as 9% without any other change to activities.

METRICS
The Group completed a response for the Carbon Disclosure
Project (CDP) for FY2019 and FY2020 which was reported
in August 2020.
This year we developed a new approach to assessing our
greenhouse gas emissions. It combines the best from the
methods used by WorleyParsons and ECR.
This year we also set a target to achieve net zero Scope 1 and
Scope 2 emissions by 2030.
In April 2019 WorleyParsons acquired ECR to form Worley,
which approximately doubled the size of the business. The data
for FY2020 is the first full year as Worley and will serve as our
baseline year for our net zero ambition.

CASE STUDY
THE FUTURE OF JET-SETTING: GREEN AVIATION FUEL
TRANSFORMS WASTE TO ENERGY
Flying from A to B is getting cleaner with the use of green
jet fuel refineries.
We’re working alongside Velocys on Europe’s first waste-to-jet fuel
plant to turn household waste into clean-burning fuel for aviation
and road transport. We’re delivering pre-feasibility, feasibility and
front-end engineering and design packages.
When the plant is operating it will receive hundreds of kilotonnes
of waste destined for landfills or incineration every year, and create
sustainable fuel. The process will reduce net greenhouse gas
emissions by 70% compared to regular fuel. Further, the sulphur
content will be reduced to almost zero and particulate matter by
up to 90%.
“Aviation and heavy goods transport remain the hardest
sectors to decarbonize. Passenger vehicles can be electrified,
but aeroplanes and trucks require much higher energy density.
Low-carbon fuels are essential to achieve net zero targets in
these sectors,” said Velocys Chief Executive Henrik Wareborn.
“The technology helps these industries unlock a
decarbonized future. This is made possible through access
to abundant but difficult-to-process feedstocks, such as
municipal solid waste and woody biomass residues. The
fuels produced meet all required regulatory standards and
can be used without any modification to engines.”
Local authorities in the United Kingdom have approved
the site application, with financial close targeted for 2022.
The facility is expected to be operational in 2025. Following
completion of the UK facility, we will work with Velocys to use
the same technology to design and build another facility in
the United States.

8 million
tonnes of plastic waste is
dumped into our seas annually
CASE STUDY
CLEANING UP PLASTIC POLLUTION IN OUR SEAS
Plastics have contributed to significant advancements in
many industries, from medicine and water supply to digital
technology and more. However, poor end-of-life management
damages the natural environment.
That’s why we were engaged to develop a plastic debris
harvesting solution to help clean up the world’s oceans and
bring ocean plastics into the circular economy. This one
kilometer long and three meter deep rubber barrier is
designed to intercept and trap floating debris. It features a
self-propelled floating marine plastics harvester powered
by natural wave motion, and a conveyor that removes
plastic debris from the ocean to a storage container,
without harming marine life.
The waste is then collected by a mother ship and returned to
land to be recycled into methanol, which in turn, powers the
ship, complete with carbon capture technology onboard.
“This project showcased just how much expertise we
have that can contribute to solving complex global
environmental problems. We have environmental
scientists, naval architects, materials handling specialists,
process engineers, and project delivery experts who
bring it all together,” said Worley Project Engineer,
Lana Dzananovic.
Alignment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals:
Water
As the climate changes and populations grow, water security
and risks to sustainable, economic water supplies will increase.
In FY2020, our water service line became global, enhancing our
ability to bring our water capabilities to our customers.
Together with industrial customers and governments who
interface with these facilities, we provide solutions for:
• water supply resiliency and security
• flooding and climate change impacts
• new regulations and the impact on aging infrastructure
• changing water quality
• lifecycle cost reductions.
Circular economy
Over the past year we have delivered waste-to-energy solutions
supporting the energy transition as well as plastics-related
circular economy projects.
We also support circular economy solutions through our Requis
platform. Requis connects buyers and sellers online, encouraging
the re-use of redundant and excess materials while reducing
demand and decarbonizing supply.

Safety, health and well-being
We launched our safety, health and well-being approach ‘Life’.
Life is a people-focused approach supported by programs,
systems and tools. It builds on our strong safety and well-being
practices to design and deliver projects safely. We introduced
four new Life programs in FY2020:
• Life-Saving Rules: Aligned with a common set of industry
practices, our easy-to-follow rules relate to safety control
systems, confined spaces, driving, energy isolation, hot work,
line of fire, safe mechanical lifting, work authorization, and
working at heights.
• Take5 for Safety: This program helps people build
knowledge and skills around situational awareness and the
identification, communication and management of risks.
The process involves using five human instincts to review
work and home environments: 1) Stop 2) Look 3) Identify
4) Discuss and 5) Control.
• Life Conversations: Talking and listening are part of Life.
Conversations help people create a respectful environment
where they feel safe to speak up and take action.
• Life Matters: A well-being program focusing on physical,
mental and social well-being. The program includes our
Employee Assistance Program, a network of mental health
champions, training materials and online resources, which
support a safe and respectful workplace.

Management system
We have a comprehensive management system which is built
around a set of fundamental minimum standards designed to
keep our people safe and healthy. We brought together the best
of our heritage organizations’ systems to evolve our Worley
health, safety and environment management system.
7 Refer to the Worley Sustainability Definitions Document 2020 for definitions.
Process safety
We work with our customers to apply our predictive analytics
tool to identify process safety gaps. We established a Process
Safety Working Group to support improvements to process
safety in industrial sectors. Members of this group collaborated
with industry through contribution to a newly published IChemE
(The Institution of Chemical Engineers) Global Process Safety
Centre guidance document on process safety during project
concept selection. In addition, the group wrote an article for the
Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association on
process safety learnings.
Crisis management
Ready, Response and Recovery (R3) is our security and resilience
management system. We use it to protect our people and assets
from prospective critical incidents, as well as manage the impact
of events. Worley activated all 44 R3 teams globally to guide our
people and critical infrastructure projects to safety during the
global COVID-19 pandemic.
We’re deeply saddened to have lost a member of our team this
year. One of our vehicles was travelling on a public road when a
power pole fell and impacted the vehicle cabin.
METRICS
Our approach to reporting safety metrics includes our people and
contractors, as well as joint venture partner employees where we
have operational control.
We align our reporting requirements with the United States
Occupational Safety and Health Administration for Total
Recordable Case Frequency Rate (TRCFR)7 and Lost Workday
Case Frequency Rate (LWCFR)7.
The Serious Case Frequency Rate (SCFR)7 was introduced as a
reporting metric in FY2020 to support transparent reporting of
fatalities, permanent disabling injuries/illnesses and events with
the potential for fatalities, permanent disabling injuries/illnesses.
In our first full year as Worley, we demonstrate a flat and
decreasing trend across our LWCFR and SCFR metrics
respectively. This is a good result given that the organization
acquired a significant field-based workforce of approximately
10,000 people with the acquisition of ECR in late FY2019.

Worley Annual Report 2020Talent, learning and leadership development
We believe in building a workplace where people can grow
their skills and experience. We are continuing to invest in our
workplace, people and leaders in new and bold ways.
We are shaping our workforce through our leaders. Some notable
development programs in FY2020 were:
Learning programs
Our ‘The Edge’ series supported our people to learn about human
behaviors and team dynamics. Approximately 7,000 of our
people attended these monthly sessions.
Graduate Development Program
Welcomed 900 new graduates around the world to learn on the
job and be mentored by senior leaders.
Global Sales and Marketing Future Leaders Program
Enabled high-potential employees to gain future leader skills.
We implemented working-from-home as a response to
COVID-19. In a matter of weeks, we mobilized more than
40,000 of our people to being able to work from home in
response to COVID-19. We have rapidly developed our learning
platform to deliver flexible learning options to our people
supporting Worley as a learning organization.
Diversity and inclusion
Our FY2020 milestones were to create harmonized and
updated global People policies to support a diverse and inclusive
environment. We also transitioned eight people network
groups from WorleyParsons and ECR to form Worley networks
facilitating our inclusion and belonging goals, and established our
global Diversity and Inclusion Council.
Our new Group Executive team appointed this year includes
equal male and female representation.
We developed our first Reconciliation Action Plan in Australia,
and in Canada, we continue to work through the Progressive
Aboriginal Relations certification program.
The Black Lives Matter movement instigated a call to action for
leaders to educate themselves on issues of racism and inclusion.
Our leaders led discussions with our people and acknowledged
the global and local social unrest. We communicated a strong
position of intolerance of racism and exclusion and a refreshed
commitment to diversity in all its forms.
In addition, there was increased leadership and people support
for our LGBTIQ+ people with the Pride@Worley network
relaunching their Allies network through global webinars.
Support from our CEO and Group Executive for our black and
LGBTIQ+ work family members was visible with these leaders
participating in webinars, posting videos and holding small group
forums to listen to the issues these groups encounter.
METRICS
This year marked the end of the initial gender diversity objectives
set for the Group by the Board to FY2020.
The Group achieved two of the three objectives, shown in the
table below, the most notable being the increase of women into
senior executive roles8 now at 39% (from 26% in FY2019), which
exceeds the goal of 25% by FY2020.
The objective to increase women employees to 30% was not
achieved. In FY2019 we reported our percentage of women
was adversely affected by the ECR acquisition which notably
impacted the makeup of the Group’s workforce with a significant
addition of skilled trade roles. The percentage dropped to 18% in
FY2019 from 21% in FY2018. This year we saw a slight increase
to 19% women in FY2020.

In FY2020 the Board set new objectives out to FY2025 to
continue to advance gender diversity and measure and improve
ethnic diversity. The next five years will be used to drive a step
change in Worley’s diversity in our Group Executive, senior
leaders8 and graduate roles.
Our targets to FY2025 are:
• to have a Board composition of at least 30% female
• retain gender diversity of Group Executive at equal male and
female representation
• increase the female representation in our senior leaders
and general workforce
• achieve a minimum of 50% female hires for the collective
annual global graduate intake
• increase the representation of non-Caucasian people in
our senior leaders8 and in our graduate intake.
In FY2021 we will develop more defined targets and identify
options to baseline our culture of inclusion. We will develop
actions and targets to increase the performance, innovation
and creativity of our people, and we will identify recognized
benchmarks that are appropriate for our business.

LIVING FOR TODAY, PLANNING FOR TOMORROW:
COVID-19 RESPONSE
Our workplaces and industries look different today than they
did one year ago as we respond and adapt to the impact of
COVID-19.
Over 40,000 of our people transitioned
to working from home
In early January 2020, we began monitoring and reporting
on the suspected new virus. Soon after, we commenced
travel restrictions and began transitioning teams to work
from home. In some cases, this transition was complete
in 24 hours; and involved delivering IT infrastructure to
people’s homes in difficult circumstances to maintain
our commitment to delivering quality outcomes for
our customers.
By the end of March, more than 80% of our people were
working and learning from home.
This was made possible by our R3 team’s existing pandemic
response plan. A cross-functional working group was also
established to coordinate our response globally. We kept our
people informed about federal and municipal government
responses, and supported their mental health, while
monitoring those impacted by the virus.
Our Information Technology (IT) support teams were on hand
to support as we implemented working-from-home project
delivery processes and new ways of working in the field. We
are now developing re-entry and remobilization plans.
10,000 of our people continued to
work on sites throughout the crisis
We’ve created new ways of working on sites to support
our people working in the field on our customers’ critical
infrastructure projects to supply energy and other essential
resources globally. These include physical distancing,
additional sanitation measures, providing our craft workforce
with extra personal protective equipment, such as masks,
and additional cleaning of protective equipment. We have
evolved work schedules to minimize risk to workers and
their families and introduced new safety processes, such
as temperature checks.
We have also provided support and information for our people
who have tested positive for COVID-19. This included ensuring
they had access to medical providers, mental well-being
support, and maintaining engagement throughout their
recovery period.
“I am immensely proud of how rapidly we identified and
responded to the COVID-19 risks, and how quickly our
people adapted to working from home or the changing site
working conditions while still delivering to our customer
expectations,” said Marian McLean, Worley Executive
Group Director Health, Safety & Sustainability.

Worley Annual Report 2020Governance:
Operating Responsibly
Policy framework
We work with our customers and suppliers to achieve results
that grow our company, reward our shareholders and our
people and contribute to our communities. We have a system
of governance and operational controls in place to instil and
reinforce a culture of acting lawfully, ethically and responsibly.
These processes, policies, commitments and partnerships are
summarized in our sustainability governance framework on
the next page.
During FY2020 we:
• continued to improve our modern slavery prevention program.
We increased and expanded training and awareness,
embedded a risk assessment within our due diligence program
and strengthened our process for review and approval of
red flags.
• refreshed our responsible business assessment process.
This elevated decision-making regarding some risk factors to
CEO and line of business leader level to increase awareness of
these risks across the organization.
• implemented an enhanced program of continuous vulnerability
scanning and increased our formal ‘threat hunting’ exercises
to proactively protect our data and systems. We introduced a
designated ‘IT Security Month’ during which group discussions,
seminars, educational courses were provided to our people.
• reported that we paid approximately $641 million in effective
tax contributions in FY20199. This, combined with local
spending by our people on diverse goods and services, is a
significant direct economic contribution to the economies
where we operate.
Ethics and whistleblowing
We delivered Code of Conduct training to more than 42,000
Worley contractors, employees and business partners during
FY2020. Code of Conduct training for field-based or craft
workforce personnel was delivered during the first half of
FY2020. Training of office-based people took place during the
second half of FY2020.
We have an ethics helpline available to all our people across
49 countries. Our Ethics Reporting and Whistleblower Standard
provides protection to whistleblowers and encourages reporting
of unethical behavior.
Alignment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals:
The Worley Compliance team responded to 186 allegations of
Code of Conduct breaches raised via our ethics helpline. There
was a high level of utilization across our business, including our
craft workforce. 42% originated from this cohort. During FY2020
40% of allegations were substantiated or partially substantiated,
43% were unsubstantiated and 17% remained open and under
investigation. This year, we upgraded the service with an
expansion to six new locations, and added a simplified report for
managers and our People Group to capture all cases and expand
our case history for trend analysis.
We comply with all applicable prevention of bribery and
corruption legislation. We have zero tolerance for bribery,
fraud and other types of corruption, including the prohibition
of facilitation payments. We continue to apply our Gifts and
Entertainment standard, which includes a strict protocol for
registering gifts and entertainment both given and received.
Sustainability Report
This year we replaced our Corporate Responsibility Performance
Report with the publication of our first Sustainability Report,
providing a more comprehensive analysis of our sustainability
program and progress.
The Sustainability Report is published annually and is issued
as our ‘communication of progress’ for the UN Global Compact.
It is aligned to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards:
Core option.
Please refer to our company website for the FY2020
Sustainability Report.
Independent verification
Independent assurance supports our commitment to
transparency and accountability. Independent third-party
auditors provide limited assurance, in accordance with the
Australian Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3000,
on Worley’s sustainability performance data on a biennial basis.
Assurance will next be conducted in FY2021.
9 The Tax Contribution Report is completed after all tax lodgments are made globally. As such, the timing of these lodgments occurs after the financial reporting requirements.
Therefore, FY2019 figures are presented in the FY2020 report.

Worley Annual Report 2020Operating and Financial Review
1. OPERATIONS
1.1 OVERVIEW
Worley is a global company headquartered in Australia and a leading
global provider of professional project and asset services in the energy,
chemicals and resources sectors.
We operate in four lines of business: Energy & Chemicals Services, Mining,
Minerals & Metals Services, Advisian and Major Projects & Integrated
Solutions including construction and fabrication yard activity.
We report the four lines of business. We also service and report three
sectors, each of which is focused on customers involved in the following
activities:
1.
2.
3.
Energy - the production of energy from various sources (for example,
oil and gas, wind and other renewables) as well as projects related to
all forms of power generation, transmission and distribution;
Chemicals - the manufacture, processing and refining of chemicals (for
example, petrochemicals, polymers and speciality chemicals); and
Resources - the processing of mineral and metal resources, and
resource projects related to water, the environment, transport, ports
and site remediation and decommissioning.
Our customers include multi-national energy, resources and chemicals
companies as well as more regionally and locally focused companies,
national oil companies and government owned utilities operating in the
customer sectors described above. We offer a range of services from small
studies to the delivery of major projects as well as a suite of digital products
and proprietary technologies.
Our core strength is the diversity of our business in terms of geography,
industry and service offerings. We operate in 49 countries, with our largest
country, the United States, representing 26% of aggregated revenue. Our ten
largest customers account for 42% of aggregated revenue. We now have
greater exposure to our customers’ operating expenditure contracts which
represent 45% of our aggregated revenue and 55% of our work associated
with capital expenditure contracts. 87% of our capital expenditure contracts
are long term, sustaining capital projects.
1.2 BUSINESS MODEL
Our people provide project delivery and technical expertise to our
customers. We empower our people to work with our customers to support
their success. We support our people with our business procedures and
systems and generate earnings by charging for their time spent performing
professional and field-based services. At 30 June 2020, over 80% of our
work is reimbursable and we do not enter into material lump sum turn-key
contracts.
Aggregated revenue and profit: Our sources of revenue and profit are
diversified and generated from many customers. As a result, we do not
depend on any one of our customers for a significant portion of our revenue
or profit. Aggregated revenue excludes revenue that has nil margin (this
typically relates to procurement revenue where we undertake 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 results of the
Group and include this revenue within aggregated revenue.
Costs: Our two largest costs are staff costs, and technology and
administration costs, which includes office lease costs. We also have pass-
through costs reimbursed by our customers.
Assets and liabilities: The significant items on our balance sheet are mainly
project related such as trade receivables, unbilled contract revenue and
provisions, and borrowings. We also hold a number of intangible assets
generated through previous acquisitions. Our business is not capital
intensive. Our customers pay us at longer intervals than our payments of
expenses (for example, staff salaries). This time differential, including the
34
Worley Annual Report 2020
time from incurring the costs to invoicing the customer, makes up the
majority of our working capital requirements.
1.3 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a rapidly changing environment for
Worley's business. Our priorities have been, and continue to be, to protect
our people, maintain operational and financial integrity, support our
customers and to create value for all our shareholders. We have actively
managed business fundamentals through this period of global disruption.
Two global task forces were established. The COVID-19 pandemic task force
was mobilized to identify, assess and respond to the challenges presented
by the pandemic and to protect the health and well-being of our people.
Over 40,000 of our office-based people were transitioned to work from
home, continuing to deliver projects for our customers. With modified site
practices, we kept our people safe and continued to support our customers'
critical infrastructure. The global business response task force was
established to support the implementation of actions to protect operational
and financial integrity, including;
• maintaining productivity on projects and operational support services:
• improving our liquidity position;
• postponing all non-essential capital expenditure;
• protecting cash and managing receivables; and
• optimizing staffing levels and costs while retaining capability.
The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst to accelerate our
transformation and new ways of working. We announced an operational
savings program focused on improving underlying performance.
Our more diversified business has shown resilience during this period of
global disruption and our agile response to business matters within our
control has resulted in the results outlined below. We will continue to
respond to the economic conditions as the global impact of COVID-19
evolves. The result for FY2020 was a net profit after tax excluding the post-
tax impact of amortization on intangible assets acquired through business
combinations (NPATA) of $252 million, compared with $173 million in
FY2019. Underlying NPATA was $432 million for FY2020, up 66% or $172
million on the previous corresponding period. Aggregated revenue increased
by 75% driven by the ECR acquisition.
Our headcount is 51,855 people and we maintain a presence in 49 countries,
compared with 57,831 people across 51 countries at 30 June 2019.
Our backlog is $16.8 billion compared to $18.7 billion at 31 December 2019,
with new contract awards in the second half of the financial year greater
than backlog consumed. Backlog has been impacted by the effect of COVID-
19 on operations and maintenance contracts as a result of the
postponement of the site shutdown season in the United States and site
access restrictions. Under our backlog definition, we effectively re-value our
long-term operations and maintenance contracts every six months by
applying the most recent quarter work hours run rate over a 36-month
period. There has been minimal impact from project cancellations. Further
backlog reductions were caused by foreign exchange translation impact and
the sale of an asset from a Tier 1 to a Tier 2 customer as previously
announced. We continued to win work with around $2 billion of contracts
awarded in Q4, in line with contracts awarded in Q4FY19.
We have strengthened our financial position with a strong underlying
operating cash flow of $881 million. In April 2020, we renewed existing and
established new debt facilities of a combined $945 million. Leverage has
decreased to 1.8x and our gearing ratio excluding lease liabilities is 18.3% at
30 June 2020. As a result of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on 1 July 2019
our gearing ratio is 22.9% at 30 June 2020.

$1,184 million and segment result of $60 million (FY2019: aggregated revenue of $286 million and segment result of $26 million). Aggregated revenue
increased in line with the full 12-month contribution of ECR. The segment margin decreased to 5.1% from 9.1% largely due to a positive project outcome in
FY2019 which on a relatively small aggregated revenue amplified the prior year segment margin percentage.

Major Projects focuses on successfully delivering those projects that pose a higher level of commercial and reputational risk for Worley by the nature of their
size, complexity and the scope of services we will be providing. Integrated Solutions delivers maintenance, modification, operations, engineering, fabrication,
construction, hook-up and commissioning services to existing assets around the globe. The Major Projects & Integrated Solutions lines of business reported
aggregated revenue of $4,540 million and segment result of $332 million (FY2019: aggregated revenue of $2,744 million and segment result of $217
million). Aggregated revenue increased in line with the full 12-month contribution of ECR and growth in the Cord and Norway businesses. The segment
margin decreased to 7.3% from 7.9% primarily due to increased volumes of lower margin construction revenue in North America.

1.4 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN OPERATIONS
• On 21 October 2019, shareholders passed a resolution to change the name of the Company to Worley Limited at the Company's Annual General Meeting.
• On 25 October 2019, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in the 3sun Group Ltd, a UK based offshore wind energy installation, inspection and
maintenance business. The acquisition will provide us with a leading position in the high growth offshore wind energy services sector in the UK and Europe.
• On 12 November 2019, Worley Group Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Worley Limited, and XENDEE Inc. created VECKTA Corporation, a USA incorporated
joint venture. VECKTA owns and operates a cloud-based market platform for microgrids and distributed energy systems. The Worley and XENDEE
respective shareholdings are 51% and 49%.
• On 24 February 2020, Andrew Wood retired as our Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. Chris Ashton was appointed as Chief Executive Officer
and Managing Director of the Group. Andrew Liveris became Deputy Chairman and Martin Parkinson joined the Board.
• In June 2020, we announced a reorganization effective 1 July 2020. Profit and loss have moved from a line of business structure to a regional model. We
now report through three regions: the Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Australia, New Zealand, India, Asia and China (APAC).
Operations are managed in two regions: the Americas as one region; and EMEA & APAC as the other. Our four lines of business are now embedded within
the regions. Our new structure simplifies how we engage with our customers so we can deliver work more effectively across the full asset life cycle. It
better enables us to collaborate across the business and bring the best of our capability to help our customers solve their complex challenges. The two
regions are supported by global functional teams. Our Project Delivery services team ensures development of critical technical capabilities, enhances the
technical career paths for our people, and drives the highest quality work for our customers. Growth encompasses setting strategy across the company
and aligning the execution of strategic priorities. The Energy Transition & Digital team will elevate our focus on transformative trends. Financial reporting
by three sectors, Energy, Chemicals & Resources, will continue. As the reorganization is effective 1 July 2020, it had no impact to the financial position or
financial performance of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020.
• Cost synergies from the ECR acquisition related to IT, property and business costs have increased from original expectation of $130 million to $190 million
run rate. Synergies of $177 million run rate have been achieved at 30 June 2020 and we are on track to deliver our increased target run rate by April 2021.
• Additional operational cost savings of $275 million (annual run rate) resulting from optimizing our property model, minimizing discretionary spend,
increasing our use of shared services and streamlining our organizational structure are expected to be delivered by 31 December 2021. Savings of
$165 million have been delivered by 30 June 2020. The costs associated with the transformation and restructuring will be more than paid off in the first full
year of savings.
• The Group adopted AASB 16 Leases on 1 July 2019. A modified retrospective approach was adopted, and the prior period comparatives have not been
restated for the impact of the adoption of the new standard. The adoption of this standard has resulted in an increase of $10 million to EBITA and a
decrease of $8 million to NPATA compared to if the previous lease accounting standard was used.

FY2019. This ratio is below our gearing target of
25% to 35%.
Our debt utilization has decreased as a result of
strong operating cash flows during the period.
Our loan and overdraft facilities increased
primarily due to the $465 million newly
established debt facilities offset by matured
unsecured notes payable of $109 million.

2.2 DIVIDENDS
Our directors resolved to pay a final dividend of 25 cents per fully paid
ordinary share, including exchangeable shares, unfranked. This is in addition
to the interim dividend of 25.0 cents per share. As a result, 60% of our full
year underlying net profit after tax excluding the post-tax impact of
amortization on intangible assets acquired through business combinations
for FY2020 will be distributed to shareholders as a dividend.
2.3 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN WORLEY'S FINANCIAL POSITION
In April 2020, we announced we had secured an additional $465 million in
12-month facilities. These new facilities have been established on similar
terms as existing facilities. Including these new facilities, in April 2020 we
renewed existing and established new facilities of a combined $945 million.
2.4 FUTURE COMMITMENTS
As at 1 July 2019 post the adoption of AASB 16 Leases, there are three types
of future commitments which do not appear on our balance sheet and are
relevant to understanding of our financial position:
• operating leases that were exempt from recognition on the balance sheet
(short term, low value or variable payments leases),
• capital expenditure commitments; and
• operating expenditure commitments.
The adoption of AASB 16 Leases has resulted in a significantly smaller
amount of commitments which do not appear on our balance sheet
compared to prior period. As a modified retrospective approach was
adopted for AASB 16, prior period was not restated for the impacts of the
adoption. The expenditure commitments that do not appear on our balance
sheet represent approximately 2.0% of our expenses.
We execute activities in creating and building capitalizable software,
purchasing fixed assets or computer software as required. Capital
expenditure commitments refer to commitments in relation to such
activities. In addition, we are generally licensed to use software for our
business operations, rather than owning software. We refer to such
commitments as operating expenditure commitments.
3. BUSINESS STRATEGY, OUTLOOK AND RISKS
3.1 BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our transformation strategy focuses on driving business value, growth and
operational excellence to enhance our leadership position in Energy,
Chemicals and Resources. Our strategic architecture integrates three levels
of insight to create a comprehensive strategy that is responsive to our
changing industry and global context:
1.
understanding the macro trends and shifts that shape the external
environment in which we operate;
2.
3.
identifying and prioritizing markets, customers and opportunities in
line with our purpose and business focus; and
developing sales/operational business plans and key performance
indicators to drive strategy execution and performance growth.
Through this process, we identify strategic priorities based on their unique
importance to sustaining our growth. Each strategic priority is underpinned
by our energy transition, digital and commercial innovation strategic
activities.
3.2 OUTLOOK
The current economic circumstances have led to a rapidly changing
environment for Worley's business, making the near- to medium-term
outlook more difficult to predict than in previous years. We are a more
resilient business following the completion of the acquisition of ECR with
increased diversification across geographies and sectors as well as greater
exposure to our customers' operating expenditures. Our diversification,
particularly given our presence in North America, will continue to be
important as different sectors and regions recover at different rates. We
have managed business fundamentals with agility and we will continue to
adjust as the global disruption evolves.

In FY2021 we will continue to prioritize protecting our people, maintaining
financial and operational integrity and supporting our customers, to create
value for all our shareholders. We are on track to deliver the $190 million
ECR acquisition cost synergy target as well as the $275 million operational
savings target as we accelerate our transformation. We will consider
balance sheet capacity for high return opportunities in line with our
transformation strategy.
The long-term market continues to indicate that sustainability, including the
energy transition, and the digitalization of our industries will open
opportunities across all the sectors we serve. Worley has the global scale,
and the technical and financial strength to support our Energy, Chemicals
and Resources customers as they navigate a changing world.
3.3 RISKS
Achievement of our medium- and long-term objectives could be impacted
by a number of risks. Those risks could, individually or together, have an
adverse effect on achievement of those objectives.
Set out below is an overview of a number of key risks that we face in
seeking to achieve those objectives. The risks are not set out in any
particular order and do not comprise every risk we encounter in conducting
our business or every risk that may affect the achievement of those
objectives. Rather, they are the most significant risks that we believe we
should be monitoring and seeking to mitigate or otherwise manage at this
point in time.
The risk management measures set out below are a sample of the steps we
take to seek to mitigate the various risks. However, the risk exists that we
may fail to implement or fully implement those steps or that they may be
entirely or partly ineffective.
COVID-19 has had an impact across many of our risks outlined below. We
have monitored carefully the impact to our people, our ability to deliver to
our customers and maintain strong operational and financial performance.
Worley established two global task forces in the third quarter of FY2020 to
support risk management and mitigation activities in response to COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic task force was mobilized to identify, assess and
respond to the challenges presented by the pandemic and to protect the
health and well-being of our people. The global business response task
force was established to support the implementation of actions to protect
operational and financial integrity
Actions were taken early to adjust and adapt ways of working to minimize
risk to our people and our business, many of which are described throughout
our annual report.
3.3.1 SUSTAINABILITY RISKS
The nature of our work may give rise to environmental or social risks. We
identify environmental and social aspects of our work and their potential
impact and put in place controls and monitoring to address them. We
believe that we have a responsibility to contribute to more sustainable
outcomes and look to support our customers and suppliers to deliver
economic, social and environmental progress through their projects. We
have established the Worley Foundation to support initiatives that
contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In
addition, other mitigating steps, particularly those referred to in reputational
risk, are relevant to manage our sustainability risk.
Climate risk: Climate change will have both physical and transitional risk
implications for the industries we serve. Regulatory and other changes may
lead to increased cost, delays or cancellation associated with some projects.
Conversely, the pace of other projects such as those associated with
renewable and distributed energy may increase. Per our revised Climate
Change Position Statement, we are committed to being part of the solution,
to reducing our own emissions intensity and responding to our industries'
and customers' climate change needs. To seek to mitigate this risk, we have
embedded climate change considerations within core risk and strategy
processes and are assessing climate-related risks and opportunities. In
addition, we have established an energy transition working group to support
40
Worley Annual Report 2020
our implementation program for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD).
3.3.2 STRATEGIC RISKS
Strategy risk: We operate in a highly competitive and dynamic environment.
As a result, our ability to develop and implement effective strategies is a
significant ongoing contributor to our success. Strategy risk is the risk of
failing to develop and implement effective strategies. Such failure may, over
time, lead to a loss of market share, and negatively impact our financial
performance.
To seek to mitigate this risk, we have a strategy development process
utilizing both internally and externally-supplied market data, macro trends,
scenario analysis and business knowledge. The strategy involves three
levels on insight with a number of priority areas reviewed on a regular
schedule and described in section 3.1 of this review.
Integration risk: Acquisitions provide our business with substantial benefits
and can aid achievement of strategic objectives. There is a risk that we do
not realize and grow the value from acquisitions if we do not successfully
identify the right targets, appropriately price or integrate and deliver
synergies. We seek to mitigate this risk though the establishment of an
experienced mergers and acquisitions team led by people with deep
acquisition and integration experience, to drive delivery of defined
integration objectives and synergies aligned with Group strategy. Integration
of our largest acquisition, ECR, has been largely completed with remaining
activities to be completed as part of normal operations.
3.3.3 OPERATING RISKS
Health and safety risk: Our business sometimes requires our people and
those people we manage 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 or illness to, or the loss of life of, our people and people we manage.
The safety, health and well-being of our people are linked to engagement
and productivity. Across the countries in which we work, there is risk of
communicable disease, epidemic or pandemic (such as COVID-19) and other
health related site exposures. To seek to mitigate this risk, we have a health
and safety framework which includes the expectations that every one of our
people and those people we manage must meet with respect to health and
safety. Health and safety expectations are supported by our business
processes and we use them in assessing our performance. All of these
elements are embodied in our Life approach and associated programs.
Throughout the past year, we have launched Life-saving rules and Life
Matters which bolster our mental health program which is recognized as
especially important in the current context with COVID-19. In addition, we
have R3 (Ready, Response, Recovery) processes that support our security,
crisis response, and business continuity planning.
Talent risk: Our people enable our success. Loss of key talent and capability
could impact our ability to win new work, deliver in line with contractual
requirements and achieve Group objectives.
We seek to mitigate this risk through our remuneration framework, talent
and succession programs, in addition to our people processes and
leadership training.
Contract management risk: Effective contract management seeks to
ensure, among other things, appropriate project and customer selection and
the effective management of contractual requirements and delivery of
quality work to customer expectations. There is a risk that we will fail to
manage our contracts appropriately or quality of work and, as a result, find
ourselves in disputes with our customers regarding matters including
payment of our fees and liability for costs and delays. Those disputes may
be costly, result in liability and absorb significant amounts of management
time.
We seek to mitigate this risk by implementing pursuit and project delivery
processes and procedures which include quality assurance and quality
control, providing training and development to our project staff and
appropriate involvement of our legal staff in the contract process. In
addition, other mitigating steps, particularly those referred to in project
delivery risk are relevant to support effective contract management.
Demand risk: The markets for our services are exposed to volatile and
cyclical commodity prices. Those prices impact demand for our customers’
goods and services and our customers’ preparedness to fund capital and
operating expenditure. This, combined with economic growth or decline and
environmental and social drivers, may impact demand for our services such
that we experience rapid and/or sustained changes in that demand.
Responding to such changes may lead to reduced revenue and increased
costs. Our overheads may also need to change such that they are efficient
relative to our revenue and business size.
We have a number of strategies and processes in place to seek to mitigate
this risk, including sharing work across locations, retaining a proportion of
our people on short notice contracts, seeking contractual protection for
project demobilization, undertaking ongoing overhead efficiency reviews
and rationalizing overhead where necessary and maintaining our diversified
business portfolio. Specifically, the ECR acquisition aided this mitigation by
increasing diversification across geographies and sectors as well as
increasing exposure to our customers’ operating expenditures which are
less volatile.
Project delivery risk: Our ability to achieve superior shareholder returns is
substantially influenced by our ability to deliver significant and/or
strategically important projects to our customers’ satisfaction. Project
delivery risk is the risk that we fail to do so. The consequences may include
fewer awards of significant projects.
To seek to mitigate this risk, we use regularly-reviewed project delivery
systems and processes and project peer reviews. We have established the
Learning at Worley program to further enhance the capability of our people
in project management and project delivery. In addition, we have developed
a digital strategy to enhance the efficiency of our work, and incorporate
progressive technology into our offering. To support changed ways of
working resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we established a ‘new
normal’ working group that have enhanced our work processes, the use of
technology and site protocols. Additionally, our businesses and projects
undertook specific risk management activities to identify and proactively
manage potential implications of COVID-19 which may include items such
as safety implications, procurement delays and financial standing of key
stakeholders.
Cyber security risk: Our work relies on the effective processing and storing
of information using information technology. With the use of IT systems,
there is a risk of unauthorized access, disruption, loss of critical, sensitive or
personal data and other security incidents as a result of cyber attacks. We
are mitigating this risk through strengthened security measures, continual
threat monitoring and user education, and by implementing information
security policies in line with international standards.
Data privacy risk: Laws and regulations governing data privacy and the
unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including the European
Union General Data Protection Regulation and the Australian Privacy Act,
pose increased monitoring and compliances. Any failure to comply with
these laws and regulations could result in penalties, legal liability and
reputational harm. To mitigate this risk, we have a Data Protection Office
established in addition to the mitigations outlined under the cyber security
risk which include a combination of strengthening systems, processes and
user education.
3.3.4 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.
There is a risk that our reputation could be damaged including through
unethical business practices, regulatory non-compliance, poor project or
supplier selection or outcomes, health and safety events and not meeting
the market's expectations of our financial performance. In addition, as an
organization that operates with customers, partners and suppliers in
geographically diverse locations, and in high risk sectors including
construction, fabrication and mining, minerals and metals, we recognize a
need to manage modern slavery risk.
We use a range of strategies and actions to seek to mitigate this risk,
including application of the Supply Chain Code of Conduct, the Responsible
Business Assessment Standard on pursuits, rigorous due diligence
processes, strict requirements and monitoring of agents and third-party
recruitment providers, procurement processes and requiring all of our
people to undertake various training, including on the Code of Conduct. We
do not work with customers, partners, suppliers or agents who do not meet
our Responsible Business Assessment Standard or requirements of the due
diligence process. In addition, other mitigating steps, particularly those
referred to in sustainability risk, health and safety risk, project delivery risk
and internal reporting risk, are relevant to seek to preserve our reputation.
3.3.5 FINANCIAL RISKS
Liquidity risk: Our ability to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity,
particularly through timely conversion of unbilled contract revenue to cash,
impacts returns to shareholders. There is a risk that our customers delay
paying us or are unwilling or unable to do so, and in addition with economic
uncertainty additional capital may be more expensive and more difficult to
obtain. We seek to mitigate this risk by focusing on effective working capital
management and closely monitoring both cash collection targets and
measures of debtor conversion.
Internal reporting risk: We operate a complex business which provides a
wide range of services in a dynamic environment, while straddling multiple
jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks and currencies. There is a risk that
our internal reporting systems may not accurately reflect our business
performance or objectives and may therefore result in us not meeting
forecasts provided to the market, thereby adversely affecting investor
confidence and the Company's share price. We seek to mitigate this risk by
reviewing and enhancing those systems and seeking to adapt them to our
dynamic business environment.
Taxation risk: We operate in a large number of countries. We have seen
examples of governments change their approach to the regulation and
collection of tax. Consequently, there is a risk that the level of taxation
imposed on our business could change materially as a result of a change in
legislation or approach in the countries in which we operate. We have a
process in place to monitor such changes and ensure that we continue to
pay the appropriate amount of tax in all jurisdictions.
3.4 UNREASONABLE PREJUDICE
We have omitted from the review, 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 review 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 publication,
they are, by their nature, not certain and are susceptible to change. Worley
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 ASX Listing
Rules, disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly update such
forward looking statements.

The modified retrospective approach has been applied on adoption of AASB
16 Leases on 1 July 2019. Accordingly, the financial information presented
for the prior period has not been restated and is presented under AASB 117
Leases and related interpretations.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The likely developments in the Group’s operations in future financial years
and the expected results of those operations are set out in section 3 of the
Operating and Financial Review on page 39.
1 Increase/reduction in revenue from an arbitration award in relation to a dispute with a state-owned
enterprise.
2 The directors consider underlying profit information is important to understand the sustainable
performance of the Company by excluding selected significant items and amortization on acquired
intangible assets.
3 Aggregated revenue is defined as statutory revenue and other income plus share of revenue from
associates, less procurement revenue at nil margin, pass-through revenue at nil margin, certain
government subsidies, interest income and net gain on revaluation of investments previously
accounted for as joint operations. The Directors of Worley Limited believe the disclosure of the
relevant share of revenue from associates provides additional information in relation to the financial
performance of Worley Limited Group.
4 Excluding global support related restructuring costs (refer to note 3(E) to the financial statements).

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the financial year, Ernst & Young, the Group’s auditor, performed
certain other services in addition to its statutory audit duties. Total fees for
non-audit services provided by the auditor amounted to $865,716.
The Board has adopted a policy governing the provision of non-audit
services by the 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 Corporations
Act 2001 (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
• none of the services undermines the general principles relating to auditor
independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants, including reviewing and auditing the auditor’s own work,
acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting
as advocate for the Group or jointly sharing economic risk and rewards.
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section
307C of the Act is as follows:
INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE
Under the Company’s Constitution, the Company indemnifies each current
and former officer of the Group against certain liabilities and costs incurred
by them as an officer of the Group.
The Company also indemnifies each current and former officer of the Group
against certain liabilities and costs incurred when the officer acts as an
officer of another body corporate at the Company’s request and the liability
or cost is incurred in that capacity.
Neither indemnity extends to liabilities or costs from which the Company is
prohibited from indemnifying current or former officers under the Act.
In addition, the Company has entered into Deeds of Access, Indemnity and
Insurance with certain officers of the Group. Under those deeds, the
Company agrees (among other things) to:
• indemnify the officer to the extent permitted by law and the Company’s
Constitution;
• maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy; and
• provide officers with access to Board papers.
The Company maintains a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy that,
subject to certain exemptions, provides insurance cover to former and
current officers of the Group. During the financial year, the Company paid
insurance premiums to insure those officers of the Group. The contracts of
insurance prohibit the disclosure of the amounts of premiums paid and the
nature of the liability covered.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
In the majority of the Group’s business operations, the customer has
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 assurance systems.
It is the Group’s policy to comply with all environmental regulations
applicable to it and to the work it carries out. The Company confirms, for the
purposes of section 299(1)(f) of the 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.

Remuneration Report
“ We are pleased with the FY2020 performance
outcomes, the ECR integration achievements
and the leadership of the executive team in a
significant and challenging year.”
KEY MESSAGES FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PEOPLE AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Worley Board of Directors, I am pleased to
present our Remuneration Report for the financial year ended
30 June 2020.
Our people have risen to the challenge
This has been a remarkable year. In addition to the ongoing
delivery of the integration benefits from last year’s acquisition of
ECR, we have completed a successful transition of our executive
leadership with Chris Ashton succeeding Andrew Wood as our
Chief Executive Officer.
In addition to these accomplishments, Worley, like all of you,
has been faced with the significant challenges presented by the
global COVID-19 pandemic. We have focused on keeping our
people safe, supporting and delivering to our customers and
making sure we remain financially strong to meet the hurdles,
uncertainties, and opportunities ahead. Our employees have
risen to the challenge of COVID-19 in unimaginable ways. As
well as more than 40,000 of our people rapidly switching to a
work from home profile, many of our people have gone above
and beyond to deliver incredible solutions to help with the fight
against COVID-19.
We have successfully changed our executive leadership
and rebased the Chief Executive Officer’s remuneration
Chris Ashton succeeded Andrew Wood as our Chief Executive
Officer on 24 February of this year. We thank Andrew for his
contribution to Worley. Chris brings more than 20 years of
experience at Worley to the Chief Executive Officer’s office,
having worked in senior roles in the United States, Europe and
the Middle East.
Most recently, Chris was the Chief Operating Officer based
in Houston, Texas in the United States. His fixed annual salary
is $1.7 million and he has a six month notice period. Both
are less than the former CEO. His participation in incentive
arrangements is the same as the former CEO and is at the
discretion of the Board.
We have responded to concerns with the 2019
Remuneration Report
Our Chairman, John Grill, and I have listened carefully to the
feedback we received regarding the 2019 Remuneration Report
and the Board has taken the 2019 Annual General Meeting
Remuneration Report vote very seriously. Based on this
feedback, we have made changes to the Worley remuneration
framework and worked to improve the quality of our
Remuneration Report disclosures.
50
After reviewing changes to our remuneration framework in 2019,
and discussing it with our shareholders and proxy advisors, we have:
• strengthened communications with key stakeholders throughout
the year;
• redesigned the Remuneration Report to improve transparency
and readability;
• changed our remuneration framework for 2021 to eliminate the
elements our shareholders did not support and strengthen the
performance focus of our ongoing plans, including the addition
of a performance hurdle to the Deferred Equity Plan; and
• recommitted to our strong shareholding requirements and
the focus on sustainable long-term outperformance by
extending the performance periods of the Deferred Equity Plan
and Long-term Incentive Plan for executives.
Our executive remuneration strategy supports the global
Worley business and strategy
Our remuneration strategy is designed to support the business
strategy and drive sustainable outperformance over the short
and long term. It aligns to and encourages conduct that supports
Worley’s purpose, values, strategic objectives and risk appetite.
We are a global business with significant operations and people
in multiple countries, including over half of our senior leaders
being in North America. Our remuneration strategy must be
internationally competitive to attract, motivate, retain and
mobilize top talent across countries.
Response to shareholder feedback
Strengthened communications

REMUNERATION REPORTWorley Annual Report 2020FY2020 Performance and remuneration highlights
KEY PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES
KEY REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
SHORT-TERM
• Underlying NPATA of $432 million, below target
• Cost synergies above target
• Health, Safety and Sustainability targets achieved
• The Board reduced scorecard results by 15%
• Final STI payout for CEO 62% of target
• Final STI payouts of 56% to 80% of target for executives
MEDIUM-
TERM
• Deferred equity (first tranche) time requirements met
• Share price growth over two years less than threshold
• Deferred equity (first tranche) vested
• SPPRs will not vest
LONG-TERM
• TSR relative to peer group of 71st %ile over 4 years
• TSR relative to peer group of 50th %ile over 3 years
• EPS growth of 9.3% CAGR above CPI over 3 years
• 93% FY2017 LTI (TSR tranche) vesting
• 50% FY2018 LTI (TSR tranche) vesting
• 100% FY2018 LTI (EPS tranche) vesting
Our remuneration strategy creates strong shareholder alignment
by incorporating significant equity components to encourage
executives to behave like owners, focus on building long-term
value and stay with us through business cycles. Our above
Australian market practice minimum shareholding requirement
for executives reinforces this objective.
As we transform our business, we may review elements of
our remuneration framework from time-to-time to ensure it
continues to support our business objectives. We are committed
to engage and communicate clearly with shareholders on the
framework and any key changes we make.
Remuneration outcomes reflect our solid performance
FY2020 performance outcomes are solid and strongly reflect our
intent to build a resilient business. The executive team worked
hard to successfully integrate the ECR business and focus
on effective delivery to customers throughout the transition
and COVID-19. Notwithstanding the many market challenges,
utilization has remained high and a dedicated focus on cash
management has ensured a strong liquidity position. The Board
is pleased with the continued performance of the business
throughout this difficult period and commends the executive
team for the performance outcomes.
Performance results against the objectives set by the Board for
executives are strong, with the following highlights:
• the underlying NPATA result was $432 million, which is below
target reflecting the market challenges impacting the business
in the later part of FY2020;
• Days Sales Outstanding, which measures the time taken to
collect cash from customers, reflected an improvement on last
year and was partially achieved at 68 days compared to the
target of 65 days;
• Health and safety expectations were met, and we continued
to embed a strong focus on the health, safety and wellbeing
of our people and our environment;
• the integration cost reduction program delivered synergy
savings above target. The cost of transition delivery was
within budget with key integration milestones met; and
• we have made good progress implementing new common
operating systems and processes for the combined organization.
In making decisions regarding FY2020 remuneration, we
carefully reviewed the performance results compared to the
stretch targets set in the scorecard at the beginning of the year.
The Board has a policy to review underlying earnings measures
for remuneration purposes to ensure executives are:
• being appropriately held to account for their actions and
delivering the annual target; and
• considering potential acquisitions or investment and
transformational opportunities without the influence of their
impact on remuneration outcomes.
For FY2020, we excluded ECR transition and integration costs, as
well as transformational and restructuring costs and government
grants in relation to COVID-19. Worley did not receive JobKeeper
support from the Australian government, however, we received
COVID-19 related government subsidies in Canada, UK and
Singapore. Underlying earnings for remuneration purposes
includes project and operational related provisions.
Additionally, we considered a number of factors to determine
the remuneration outcomes for the Chief Executive Officer and
other executives. This covered broader measures of performance
and the health of our business and the impact of the business
response to COVID-19 on our people, shareholders, customers
and communities.
The Board reduced short-term incentive scorecard results by 15%.
The Board considers the overall outcomes are a fair reflection of
FY2020 performance. This has resulted in the Chief Executive
Officer receiving a payout of 62% of target and other executives
receiving payouts ranging from 56% to 80% of target. Our
long-term performance measures reflect the value created for
shareholders over many years with Earnings Per Share growth
of 9.3% compound per annum above CPI over the last three years
and Total Shareholder Return relative to Worley peers of 50th
percentile over the last three years and the 71st percentile over
the last four years. This has resulted in Long-term Incentives
vesting to executives between 50% and 93%, depending on
the award.
In a turbulent year, we have risen to the challenges
We continue to focus on keeping our people safe, satisfying our
customers and ensuring our business remains strong for many
years to come. As part of our ongoing review of governance,
the Remuneration Committee has expanded its role to include
executive development and succession, culture, diversity
and inclusion. Our Committee is now called the People and
Remuneration Committee.
On the following pages you will find the FY2020 Remuneration
Report in its entirety. I am pleased to engage with all
shareholders about the matters set out in this report.
Warm regards,
Thomas J. Gorman
Chairman, People and Remuneration Committee

REMUNERATION REPORTWorley Annual Report 20201.2 FY2020 leadership changes
We appointed Chris Ashton as our new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective 24 February 2020, following Andrew Wood’s retirement.
Chris has been with us since 1998 and has held many leadership roles in the Company. Before this, he was our Chief Operating Officer
(COO) responsible for integrating Jacobs Energy, Chemicals and Resources Division (ECR) and the strategy for the transformed Worley
business. Previously, he was accountable for the growth and performance of the Major Projects and Integrated Solutions portfolio.
This portfolio included our fabrication businesses, Worley Cord and Rosenberg Worley, and our Global Delivery Center. Chris has also
held executive roles with responsibility for Europe, Middle East and African operations, and the global Power sector. His experience,
commitment and focus will provide the leadership we need to accelerate transformation.
New CEO arrangements
Chris’ total remuneration is less than the former CEO’s. His fixed remuneration is $1.7 million compared to the previous CEO who
received $2.1 million. Chris has the same percentage participation rates for his incentive opportunities for FY2020 as the former CEO–
we have set these out on page 55.
Chris’ remuneration reflects that Worley is a large and complex business, operating across multiple countries, and his promotion to
the role. Shareholders expressed views that the former CEO’s remuneration was too high at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on
21 October 2019, which the Board took into account in setting Chris’ fixed remuneration. Chris has a notice period of six months.
However, if the responsibilities of the role fundamentally change and we terminate his employment agreement, he will be entitled to a
payment of 12 months’ fixed salary.
Former CEO arrangements
The Board reviewed the former CEO’s remuneration following the acquisition of ECR in April 2019. The complexity and scale
of Andrew’s role had increased considerably and he was a long-serving very experienced leader who had not received a salary
increase since we appointed him as CEO in 2012. We increased Andrew’s fixed remuneration effective 1 May 2019 and his variable
remuneration target values effective 1 July 2019.
Andrew ceased in the CEO role on 23 February 2020 but stayed on to advise the Board and the new CEO on a full-time consulting
basis until 3 July 2020. We have paid him in line with his contractual entitlements – these include a payment in lieu of the balance
of his 12-month notice period which he has not worked and unused leave entitlements.
As he remained fully employed by the Company and continued to contribute to delivering business performance, Andrew was
eligible for a Short-term Incentive (STI) award for FY2020, subject to achieving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and at the Board’s
discretion. His STI outcome is detailed in this Report.
Given his retirement and the contribution he has made over many years, the Board has decided to treat Andrew as a good leaver in
respect of outstanding unvested equity. We have prorated his outstanding Long-term Incentive (LTI) and Deferred Equity Plan (DEP)
to 30 June 2020.
This is consistent with the applicable equity plan rules, the way we have treated other good leavers, and the termination benefits
approval obtained at the 2019 AGM. We will test his outstanding unvested equity against the original performance conditions
and this will vest or lapse in due course at the end of the relevant vesting period. We have included details of these arrangements
in this Report.
1.3 FY2021 leadership changes
In May 2020, we announced a new operating model to simplify how we engage with customers and deliver work more effectively
across the full asset life cycle. This model positions us for growth in new sectors and increases our focus on transformative trends
such as digitalization and the energy transition. A new structure moved profit and loss to a regional model from 1 July 2020. We will
keep the Advisian brand as a service line within the geographic regions, delivering advisory and consulting services to our customers.
Vinayak Pai will lead the Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific region and Karen Sobel will lead the Americas.

OUR REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK PRINCIPLES
Be internationally
competitive
A globally competitive and
consistent framework to attract,
motivate, retain and mobilize
diverse executives across
different countries
Be clear and easily
understood
Clearly aligned to Worley’s
strategy, purpose,
values and risk appetite,
with a transparent link
between performance and
reward. Assures external
stakeholders and engages
executives to drive the right
behaviors and outcomes
Create strong
shareholder alignment
Incorporate significant equity
components to encourage
executives to behave like
owners, focus on building
long-term shareholder value
and stay with Worley through
business cycles
Drive sustainable
outperformance
Provide meaningful
incentives to exceed stretch
target performance. Focus
on both short and long-term
performance to deliver
sustainable value
STRUCTURE AND OPPORTUNITY
PURPOSE AND LINK TO STRATEGY
CHANGES IN FY2020
Fixed salary (cash) and benefits
Be market competitive to attract, motivate,
retain and mobilize executives.
1 YEAR
FIXED
COMPONENT
Fixed salary reflects the accountabilities and
expectations of the role and the executive’s
experience, skills and contribution.
Benefits include retirement contributions
(such as statutory superannuation) and items
to support international assignments.
Short-term incentive (STI)
1 YEAR
Cash award paid for annual performance.
CEO: 100% of fixed salary (target)
Other KMP (typical): 80% of fixed salary (target)
Benchmarked against:
• Australian companies with global
operations of similar size, complexity and
industry relevant peers;
• International industry peer companies,
primarily North American competitors
Focuses executives on delivering key financial
(60%), Health, Safety and Sustainability (HSS)
(10%) and strategic (30%) priorities relevant
to the financial year. We set stretch KPI
targets which are over and above day job
performance to motivate and reward strong
performance. They must be fully achieved to
receive a target STI payout.
Deferred equity plan (DEP)
3 YEARS
VARIABLE
COMPONENT
Delivered in equity rights, progressively
converting to shares in equal tranches over
3 years.
CEO: 50% of fixed salary
Other KMP: 40% of fixed salary
Create strong shareholder alignment,
support our robust Minimum Shareholding
Requirement (MSR) and encourage
executives to stay with us through
business cycles.
Be internationally competitive to attract,
motivate, retain and mobilize executives
across multiple countries, particularly
North America.
The new CEO’s fixed salary was set below
that of the former CEO, in line with the
market trend to rebase new internally
appointed CEOs, and feedback from
shareholders regarding Andrew Wood’s
fixed remuneration.
The maximum STI opportunity increased to
200% of target (previously 150%) to motivate
and reward outperformance. It can only
be achieved through exceptional financial
performance, typically 120% of target
performance, and Board discretion.
The DEP replaces the former Share Price
Performance Rights (SPPR) plan. The SPPR
were tested over 2 years with a multiple that
could result in up to 2x grant value. The DEP
has a longer vesting time period and more
modest potential values.
Long-term incentive (LTI)
4 YEARS
Delivered in performance rights with vesting
at 4 years (3 year performance condition
plus additional 1 year holding lock)
CEO: 85% of fixed salary
Other KMP (typical): 60% of fixed salary
Reward for sustainable long-term growth in
shareholder value measured through relative
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Earnings
Per Share (EPS) growth.
Supports strong shareholder alignment.
The relative TSR comparator group was
expanded to include our new international
competitors. This ensures a more robust
competitor set for assessing performance,
strong shareholder alignment and
sustainable growth.
MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENT
Worley has robust shareholding requirements for both executives and NEDs
CEO: 400% of fixed pay, Other KMP: 200% of fixed pay, NED’s: 100% of annual base fee

DSO was partially achieved at 68 days, compared to target of 65 days,
and an improvement on FY2019.
HSS
Our total case frequency rate (TCFR) and our serious case frequency rate
(SCFR) were both below threshold, resulting in the gate being achieved.
Leadership activities met expectations to embed a strong focus on the health,
safety and wellbeing of our people and our environment.
STRATEGIC
We achieved cost synergy savings beyond target. Other strategic KPIs were
on target or slightly below target. STI payouts for achieving strategic KPIs are
capped at 100% of target.
The Board has reduced STI scorecard results by 15% considering financial
performance and the impact of COVID-19 on our people, shareholders,
customers and communities.
This resulted in an STI award for the CEO of 62% of target and between
56% to 80% for other executives.

The awards below vest in September 2020 but relate to a performance period
ending 30 June 2020.
LTI
• The FY2017 LTI award vested 92.9% against the relative TSR measure.
The strategic portion related to Worley’s “Realize Our Future” strategy.
It was 100% achieved at the end of FY2018 and is released from
restriction in September 2020.
• The FY2018 LTI award vested 50% against the relative TSR measure
and 100% against the EPS measure. The vested shares remain
restricted for 12 months.
• The first tranche of the FY2020 DEP vested. The value declined 30% from
award (a share price of $12.50) to 30 June 2020 (a share price of $8.77)3.
Legacy awards
• Awards to Chris Ashton (in his former role of COO) and Tom Honan
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) vested in full as the targets in the ECR
acquisition scorecard were fully achieved.
• ECR replacement equity awards for legacy ECR employees vested in full.
This is relevant for Andrew Berryman and Vinayak Pai. The value declined
40% from award (a share price of $15.15) to vesting at 28 May 2020
(a share price of $9.03).
• The FY2019 SPPR will be tested following the release of the FY2020
financial results. We awarded them at a price of $20.30 and they have a
threshold share price of $14.21 (70% of grant price).

3. RESPONSE TO SHAREHOLDER FEEDBACK
3.1 Addressing concerns with FY2019 Remuneration Report
At our 2019 AGM, 30.89% of the votes cast were against adopting the FY2019 Remuneration Report. This constituted a first strike
under the Act. The Board has engaged with shareholders, proxy advisors and other stakeholders to further understand their concerns.
This section outlines the steps we have taken to address those concerns (including comments made at the AGM) and otherwise
explains our rationale for putting in place the arrangements in question.
Table 3.1.1
REMUNERATION
ELEMENT
ISSUES RAISED
RESPONSE
One-off cash bonuses on
acquisition of ECR
Paying cash bonuses before the
benefits of the ECR acquisition
were realized
This was a special one-off cash payment given the significance of the ECR acquisition.
The Board acknowledges the need for stronger communication on one-off transaction awards
and does not anticipate paying future transaction-related cash bonuses, unless they have a clear
link to performance outcomes. No one-off cash bonuses have been paid to executives in FY2020.
SPPR
DEP
Aligning SPPR awards with
performance given they are
service based and able to be
multiplied
Aligning DEP awards with
performance given they are
service-based only
These were designed to focus executives on share price appreciation and provide strong
alignment to shareholders. They were appropriate for the period of time they were in place.
We have now replaced them with the DEP (below) which has a longer vesting period compared
to the SPPR and removes the performance multiplier.
The DEP increases shareholder alignment, supports our robust MSR and encourages
executives to stay with us through business cycles.
With over 50% of our broader leadership team based in North America, the DEP component
allows us to be internationally competitive and to attract and retain high caliber executives.
Restricted equity is a commonly used equity vehicle in North America adopted by the majority
of our competitors. Refer to our TSR peer comparator group in table 5.4.1 for more information.
As value is aligned to share price, the DEP is considered variable pay. However, the Board agrees
that the link to performance could be strengthened. The FY2021 DEP award will therefore
require executives to achieve a performance hurdle before vesting. The performance hurdle
represents a threshold level of performance and will comprise KPIs of progress in delivering a
more sustainable world. We will also extend the performance period of the DEP (See section 3.2).
STI scorecard
STI awards should be clearly
disclosed with robust and
stretching targets
We are committed to improving transparency and disclosures to give a better understanding of
how we determine awards.
We have included greater detail on the scorecard measures, weightings and stretch targets in
section 4.3, as well as the STI payouts as a % of maximum (table 4.3.2).
Increase to CEO
fixed salary
The fixed remuneration
of the former CEO was
increased too much
The increase in the former CEO’s remuneration reflected the increased size, scope and
complexity of Worley and Andrew Wood’s experience and ability to lead a truly global Company.
He was a long serving CEO who had not had a salary increase since he was appointed CEO in
2012 through to FY2018. He also took a voluntary 10% reduction from FY2016 to FY2018. The
Board recognized Andrew’s deep executive experience and strategic leadership overseeing the
transformative ECR acquisition.
The change in CEO has led to a rebasing of the CEO’s remuneration. The new CEO’s fixed salary
is $1.7 million compared to $2.1 million of the former CEO. The Board believes this appropriately
reflects the size, scope and complexity of Worley, as well as Chris Ashton’s level of experience
as an internally promoted CEO. This approach is in line with the market practice of re-basing
incoming CEO pay relative to that of the former CEO.
56
REMUNERATION REPORTWorley Annual Report 20203.2 FY2021 and beyond
The Board will continue to address any shareholder concerns in a transparent manner and discuss any changes to the remuneration
framework. After integrating the ECR business, and with a new CEO, we are committed to accelerating the Company’s transformation
strategy. The remuneration framework must support and deliver on this global strategy. In this context, the Board will make the
changes below to the framework for FY2021.
LTI performance condition
We will test the LTI performance condition at the end of year four and vesting will occur at the same time. Therefore, the performance
period is extended by one year. This change focuses executives on outperformance and creating value over an additional year which is
in the interest of shareholders. It is also operationally simpler in some of the countries that our executives reside in. We have reviewed
our comparator group for the relative TSR performance condition to ensure the peer companies selected remain appropriate for
Worley going forward. Changes will be disclosed in the FY2020 Notice of Meeting and next year’s Remuneration Report.
DEP performance hurdle and timing
We will require performance hurdles to be achieved before vesting of the DEP award. The performance hurdle will represent a
threshold level of performance and will comprise KPIs of progress in delivering a more sustainable world. We will do this through
growth in value of customer sustainability projects and working with them to help them achieve their sustainability goals.
The FY2021 DEP will also vest over a longer time period, with 50% vesting at the end of year 2 and 50% at the end of year 3.
This aligns with the timeframe for realizing value from strategy execution.
The FY2021 executive remuneration framework clearly distinguishes the performance focus of each variable remuneration
component as outlined in the diagram below.

The changes strengthen the executive remuneration framework’s focus on sustainable outperformance. It will be more challenging for
executives to earn rewards, particularly given the current business outlook. However, we will not be making adjustments to executive
variable remuneration target percentages for FY2021. We have increased the fixed remuneration of Karen Sobel by 10% for FY2021,
in recognition of her expanded accountabilities leading the Americas region and to ensure her total remuneration is appropriately
competitive. Other executives have not received remuneration increases for FY2021.
We will disclose further detail on changes to the framework for FY2021 and DEP KPIs in next year’s Remuneration Report.

1 We tested two LTI TSR grants at the end of FY2020. We tested the FY2016 grant over 4 years, and the FY2017 grant over 3 years.
2 Worley’s TSR performance is measured relative to a peer comparator group. The current peer comparator group is listed on page 66.
4.2 FY2020 fixed and target total remuneration changes
The Board reviews the total remuneration levels of executives every year. This is to make sure pay levels reflect competitive benchmarking,
the experience and capability of individuals, and that there is an appropriate balance between fixed and variable remuneration. After the
ECR acquisition, we implemented a new organizational structure and a number of executives were appointed to new roles. As a result,
we reviewed and set fixed remuneration at competitive levels commensurate with the size and scope of the roles and the experience and
capability of the appointed executives. Changes to the FY2020 remuneration framework, including replacing SPPR with DEP, also resulted
in adjustments to incentive targets and pay mix for executives. These changes were to ensure a competitive pay position against relevant
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and international peer markets.
4.3 FY2020 STI outcomes
(a) STI scorecard
We have designed the STI plan so that a portion of the executives’ remuneration is variable and at risk. STI payments are based on
achievement of annual stretch targets and KPIs aligned with strategic imperatives. The Board evaluates scorecard performance and
determines STI outcomes that reflect group, business unit and individual performance. The Board will apply discretion if it believes
the scorecard outcomes do not appropriately reflect performance. We assess performance for each KPI ranging from not achieved
to above target, being the level at which outstanding performance justifies the maximum STI to be paid. Below is the STI scorecard
for our executives reflecting FY2020 outcomes. For FY2020, Worley executives shared KPIs to align their efforts to achieve targets
related to the integration of the ECR business.
As our new CEO, Chris Ashton’s STI scorecard reflects the entire FY2020. There is no difference in his scorecard as part year
COO and part year CEO. This is because we expected the focus on delivering all KPIs relating to the ECR integration to continue.
Our previous CEO only had achieving of cost synergies related to the ECR acquisition as his strategic KPI, as doing so would take
significant focus and leadership.

2 The maximum STI payout on HSS, strategic and non-financial KPIs is 100% of target.
3 The HSS KPI has a gate opener which requires Group TRCFR less than 0.2 and Group SCFR less than 0.15. Both were below threshold, with TRCFR of 0.16 and SCFR
of 0.06.
4 Underlying NPATA is Net Profit After Tax excluding the post-tax impact of amortization on intangible assets acquired through business combinations. Underlying means the
profit result after adjusting for significant/ non-operational items not considered part of the sustainable performance of Worley. We believe this is the most appropriate
measure of operating financial performance for remuneration purposes. Prior to FY2020, we used underlying NPAT as the financial measure for remuneration. For FY2020,
we excluded from underlying NPATA, ECR transition and integration costs, as well as transformational and restructuring costs and government grants in relation to
COVID-19. We included all project and operational related provisions in underlying NPATA.
5 Days Sales Outstanding is a measure of the time taken to collect cash from customers.
6 Location Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (LEBIT) is a key measure of operating profit for each of the lines of business. In FY2020, results were MPIS (K.Sobel) 112% of
target, ECS (V.Pai) 101% of target, MMM (A. Berryman) 89% of target and Advisian (A. Smith) 83% of target. These results lead to differentiated outcomes for the line of
business leaders, as set out on table 4.3.2.
7 The cost synergy plan incorporates cost benefits that are confirmed but may not be fully realized in the current financial year.
8 Regretted leavers include all resignations of senior leaders at organizational Tiers 1 and 2a (approximately 100 leaders).
9 ERP is the enterprise resource planner system.
We’re deeply saddened to have lost a member of our team this year. One of our vehicles was travelling on a public road when a
power pole fell and impacted the vehicle cabin. The Board reviewed this serious case in detail to consider whether there should be
remuneration consequence for any accountable executives. Based on the facts and circumstances, the Board’s view was that there
was no negligence, gross misconduct or systemic failings on the part of an individual or Worley. Therefore, there was no adjustment to
executive variable remuneration outcomes as a result.
(b) Modifier and discretion
We multiply the total STI scorecard outcome, resulting from the sum of the weighted payouts of each KPI, by a modifier.
To determine the modifier, we consider underlying earnings performance compared to target and other company performance
outcomes. This covers financial, operational, health and safety, assurance and risk, customer, people, shareholder and other
stakeholder outcomes. The modifier for FY2020 resulted in a reduction of 15% to STI scorecard outcomes.

4.4 FY2020 equity outcomes
We provide the details of vested equity awards in section 9. All equity awards are made under the Worley performance rights plan
rules, in the form of performance rights. These are sometimes called equity rights. They are rights to Worley shares, which are
delivered to participants subject to the achievement of vesting conditions.
(a) FY2020 DEP outcomes
The DEP is a grant of restricted equity rights which vest and convert to shares in equal tranches over three years with no multiplier.
The vesting of rights is subject to clawback and malus conditions and continued individual performance. The first tranche of the
FY2020 DEP rights vest in line with the terms of that plan and convert to shares on 30 September 2020. The share price used for the
grant was $12.50 and the share price on 30 June 2020 was $8.77. Indicatively, this reflects a 30% decline in the share price for the first
tranche of the FY2020 DEP award.
(b) FY2017 and FY2018 LTI outcomes
Given the importance of delivering the Company’s “Realize Our Future” strategy and the role executives play in leading it, the Board
introduced a strategic hurdle as a one off change for the FY2017 LTI award. It included both cost reduction targets of $350 million
delivered during the period FY2016, FY2017 and FY2018, and net debt-to-EBITDA target (2x or less). We measured this at the end of
FY2018. We achieved both targets and as a result, we converted the performance rights to restricted shares
We disclosed this in the FY2018 Remuneration Report. These restricted shares will vest on 30 September 2020, subject to continued
service and satisfactory individual performance.
For the FY2017, LTI we tested the relative TSR measure to the end of the four-year performance period to FY2020.

Our relative TSR was 50th percentile compared to peer companies which

1 For remuneration purposes, EPS is calculated using underlying NPAT as this focuses executives on growth in operating profit. This is consistent with the basis used for prior
year calculations. For awards granted from FY2020 onwards, underlying NPATA will be used.

Worley Annual Report 2020
4.5 Vesting of legacy equity arrangements
(a) FY2019 SPPR outcomes
We calculate SPPR shares delivered to executives by multiplying the number of SPPR granted by the proportionate increase or decrease
(the multiple) in the Worley share price over the two year vesting period. This is subject to a maximum cap (at 200% or higher of the grant
price, the Multiple reaches a maximum of two) and a minimum floor (at 70% or less of the grant price all SPPR will lapse). The opening and
closing share prices are measured as VWAP for the ten trading days immediately following the release of our full year financial results.
The FY2019 SPPR award is the final SPPR grant made. We expect to deliver no shares to executives for the FY2019 SPPR award. Our
opening share price was $20.30 and the hurdle share price is $14.21 (70% of the opening price). The VWAP to 30 June 2020 was $8.77.
(b) Acquisition awards
From time to time, the Board has implemented equity awards to relevant executives to motivate them to deliver value through
acquisitions. The Board sets stretch targets and makes sure that executives only receive value when they achieve performance
conditions. This creates further alignment to shareholders and ensures vesting depends on satisfactory individual performance
and employment.
ECR grants
The acquisition of ECR during FY2019 underpins our growth plans and delivers significant benefits to our shareholders. It generates
material EPS accretion and returns for shareholders, and creates a pre-eminent global provider of professional project and asset
services in resources and energy. It delivers enhanced earnings diversification and resilience, and brings significant value upside as
a result of cost and revenue synergies. To drive performance in these areas, we made a grant of performance rights to Chris Ashton
and Tom Honan in FY2019, split into two equal tranches, vesting after 12 and 24 months respectively. Vesting is subject to achieving
performance conditions. KPIs include:
• achieving cost and revenue synergies;
• integrating core operating systems, governance and control processes; and
• implementing the new organization with minimal loss of talent .
The face value of the grant equated to 60% of their fixed pay.
In FY2020, the first tranche vested in full after they achieved all vesting conditions. We assessed performance of the second tranche
at the end of June 2020 and it will result in 100% of rights vesting in September 2020.
Transition equity for ECR personnel
Andrew Berryman and Vinayak Pai received grants of Worley equity rights in place of ECR unvested equity that the executives
forfeited when moving to Worley. The timeframes of the awards broadly aligned to the foregone ECR equity. These grants were
subject to ongoing employment and minimum performance standards and vested in full in FY2020. There are further equity rights
still to vest in FY2021.
4.6 Remuneration received by executives during FY2020
The table below gives a summary of the remuneration received by executives during the performance periods ended 30 June 2019 and
30 June 2020. We believe that presenting this information to shareholders gives them greater clarity and transparency. We have changed
the methodology from the actual remuneration outcomes table in the FY2019 Remuneration Report to strengthen the alignment to the
performance period (subject to additional holding periods). This table also differs from the statutory remuneration table on page 72, which
presents remuneration in accordance with accounting standards.
Remuneration received by executives relating to performance for FY2020 is explained below. The same methodology has been used to
calculate FY2019 remuneration.
A. Fixed salary
Comprises base salary plus superannuation or retirement contributions paid for FY2020.
B. Cash STI
Comprises accrued cash STI for FY2020.
C. Deferred equity
awards
We include the value of all tested equity awards to the end of the performance period to 30 June 2020. These awards include
FY2017 and FY2018 LTI awards (which are subject to a one year holding lock), the first tranche of the FY2020 DEP grant as well
as one off equity awards where footnoted. The FY2019 SPPR are excluded as we do not expect them to vest.
The value shown is the face value. This is based on the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares over the five trading days up
to and including the end of the performance period i.e. 30 June 2020. The actual value received will depend on the share price at
exercise. The deferred equity awards generally vest in September 2020 and executives must remain employed to the vesting
date (and to the end of the applicable holding periods) or be a good leaver to be eligible to receive them.
D. Benefits
Includes local benefits provided in line with market practice and items to support international assignments, such as medical
insurance and housing allowances.
E. Termination Benefits
This includes payments of notice periods and accrued contractual leave entitlements
We have presented all remuneration in Australian Dollars.

1 Chris Ashton’s deferred equity awards include equity vesting under the ECR acquisition grant.
2 Andrew Wood’s fixed salary includes 5 months salary for the period of his notice that he worked as an advisor and not a KMP. His termination benefit comprises 7 months
notice paid in lieu of $1.236 million and accrued statutory annual leave entitlements of $501 thousand. His deferred equity comprises equity that will vest to him in
September 2020, consistent with other executives. Equity retained as a result of his treatment as a ‘good leaver’ upon retirement will be subject to normal performance
and vesting conditions. Refer to the statutory remuneration tables for more information.
3 Andrew Berryman’s deferred equity includes Worley equity he received in place of ECR unvested equity. He received a payment of accrued statutory annual leave
entitlements when he left Canada to relocate to Australia. He also received benefits to support his international assignment to Australia from September 2019.
Andrew joined Worley as an executive on 27 April 2019. His FY2019 fixed remuneration, benefits and STI relate to the period he was an executive at Worley only.
4 Tom Honan’s deferred equity awards include equity vesting under the ECR acquisition grant. Tom received a fixed remuneration increase of 12% effective on 1 July 2019,
reflecting the increased scope and complexity of his role following the ECR acquisition and his deep experience as a CFO executive.
5 Vinayak Pai’s deferred equity includes Worley equity he received in place of ECR unvested equity. He also received benefits to support his international assignment
to the Netherlands from August 2019. Vinayak joined Worley as an executive on 27 April 2019. His FY2019 fixed remuneration, benefits and STI relate to the period
he was an executive at Worley only.
6 Adrian Smith receives benefits to support his international assignment to the UK.
7 Fixed remuneration and STI for FY2019 relates to Karen Sobel’s employment as an executive which commenced on 27 April 2019. Karen received benefits to support her
international assignment to the US. She returned to Canada, her country of residence, in April FY2020.
8 The share price used for 30 June 2019 is $14.68.
5. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION STUCTURE
We have developed the remuneration framework to support the business strategy and drive sustainable outperformance over
the short and long-term. It aligns to and encourages conduct that supports Worley’s purpose, values, strategic objectives and
risk appetite.
Importantly, the remuneration framework must be internationally competitive to attract, motivate, retain and mobilize top talent
across countries. It creates strong shareholder alignment by incorporating significant equity components to encourage executives
to behave like owners, focus on building long-term value and stay with us through business cycles.
5.1 Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration provides an executive with competitive fixed salary (cash) and benefits. Fixed salary reflects the accountabilities
and expectations of the role and individual factors such as the executive’s experience, capability, performance and potential.
We set fixed salary in relation to market conditions and benchmarking of roles of similar scope and complexity in relevant peer
companies. We benchmark executive remuneration against that of other Australian listed companies with global operations of
comparable size, complexity and industry relevance. We review this peer group regularly. Where relevant for specific roles, the Board
also reviews remuneration levels of our international competitors.
63
Worley Annual Report 2020We give fixed salary in the form of cash base salary or allowances, superannuation or retirement benefit contributions and any salary
sacrificed components.
Executives will be eligible for certain benefits in line with the policies of their local employer. Our benefits comply with local legislation
and are locally competitive to attract and retain executives and support their health and wellbeing. Typically, this will include
retirement contributions (such as statutory superannuation) and basic insurances (such as disability, life and medical) where it is
local market practice. We may also provide some benefits to support the global mobilization of executive talent. We aim to have
competitive global mobility policies and support the health, safety and well being of our people and their families.
5.2 STI
The following table summarizes the STI plan applied in FY2020:
Table 5.2.1
FEATURE

Performance period
Setting performance
conditions and targets
Annual STI targets are set at 100% of fixed salary for the CEO and 80% (typical) of fixed salary for other executive KMP. We set stretch
KPI targets which must be fully achieved to receive a target STI payout. The maximum STI payable is 200% of target to motivate and
reward outperformance. It can only be achieved through exceptional financial performance and Board discretion.
All executives are eligible to participate in the STI plan. Generally, for an executive to be eligible for a payment, they must have been
employed for at least three months of the financial year and remain employed at the date of payment.
Cash.
1 year.
The Board sets the annual KPIs, weightings, targets and thresholds at the beginning of the financial year. The Board has oversight of
the KPIs to ensure they are robust. KPI targets represent a stretch level of performance which is over and above day job performance.
The Board sets an outstanding level of performance for financial targets to pay out above 100%. Executives also need to achieve a
high threshold of performance before any STI is payable.
Performance conditions We measure performance through a balanced mix of financial, HSS and strategic KPIs. The weightings of these measures are:
financial 60%, HSS 10% and strategic 30%. This ensures that we select measures that are fundamental to the long-term sustainability
and development of the business.
The financial KPIs are underlying NPATA and DSO. These KPIs focus executives on annual operating profit and cash flow, measured
through a focus on cash collection.
We choose HSS to support our belief that the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and communities is paramount. Without
it, nothing else matters. The HSS KPI requires the executive to demonstrate personal and visible leadership, to drive positive HSS
outcomes and to contribute to our continual improvement. We measure it through leadership activities undertaken throughout the
performance year which go above and beyond everyday responsibilities. These are a leading indicator of HSS outcomes and ensure
a strong focus on HSS is embedded at all levels.
Additionally, there is a HSS gate that executives must achieve before they achieve the HSS KPI. We measure the gate as Group TRCFR
< 0.2 and Group SCFR < 0.15. It ensures reportable incidents do not exceed an acceptable level. Group SCFR is a new measure used
internally to ensure a focus on serious cases including a fatality or permanent disabling injury or illness, and events that had the
potential to result in a fatality or a permanent disabling injury or illness.
Given our focus on delivering value from the ECR acquisition, our FY2020 strategic KPIs related to integrating the ECR business.
Our executives shared KPIs to align their efforts in achieving targets. The KPIs focused on achieving cost synergies, integrating
core operating systems and retaining key senior leaders.
Performance
assessment and payout
At the end of the financial year, the People and Remuneration Committee and the Board assess achievement against each KPI and
compare the result to the targets and thresholds set at the beginning of the year. To do this, they receive guidance and input from
other Board Committees.
The Board has a policy to review underlying NPATA for remuneration purposes to ensure executives are:
• being appropriately held to account for their actions and delivering the annual target; and
• considering potential acquisitions or investment and transformational opportunities without the influence of their impact on
remuneration outcomes.
Each KPI has an individual performance threshold and the payout value is zero where the performance threshold has not been met.
For financial KPIs, the threshold performance is 80% of budget or target. For performance above threshold a sliding scale applies to
determine the payout i.e. for each 1% above 80% of the budget, the payout is 5%. We cap this at 200% (which is for 120% achievement
against budget or target). The HSS and strategic KPIs, which are non-financial measures, have a maximum payout of 100% of target.
The result of each KPI determines the payout. We apply the KPI weighting and the sum of the weighted KPI payouts determines the
STI payout (pre-modifier). We apply the modifier to calculate the final STI payout.
The People and Remuneration Committee and Board will also assess the funding available for the STI plan and the extent to
which a modifier or discretion is applied to the STI scorecard outcomes. They will consider underlying financial performance
compared to target and other company performance outcomes, covering financial, operational, health and safety, assurance and
risk, customer, people, shareholder and other stakeholder outcomes. The Board believes this approach is rigorous, objective and
comprehensive. It ensures STI outcomes are appropriate and a true reflection of performance. It is an important risk mitigant against
unintended outcomes.

We introduced the DEP in FY2020 to attract, motivate and retain executives across multiple jurisdictions. Using deferred
equity rights is internationally competitive, particularly in the United States where we have more than half of our senior leaders
and business.
The DEP aligns shareholders and focuses executives on the long term. It helps executives to achieve the above Australian market
standard MSR.
It also acts as a retention tool, particularly through transition and in years where we are impacted by the volatility of
commodity cycles.
We set annual DEP targets at 50% of fixed salary for the CEO and 40% (typical) of fixed salary for other KMP.
All executives are eligible to participate in the DEP. To be eligible for an award, they generally must have been employed at the
beginning of the performance period i.e. 1 July prior to the grant.

We determine the number of equity rights by dividing the executive’s target DEP value as at 1 July 2019 by the VWAP of Shares over
the 10 trading days immediately following the day we released our FY2019 financial results. For the FY2020 grant, this was $12.50.
We use the same price to determine the number of rights we award to the CEO.
Deferred equity rights vest and convert to shares subject to satisfying the vesting conditions. The conditions are that the executive
remains an employee of the Group on the vesting date and that their performance is satisfactory up until that time. In certain
circumstances, the Board may exercise its discretion and allow a good leaver to retain their deferred equity rights. This is outlined
further in Section 8.7. Clawback and malus conditions also apply. If the executive meets the vesting conditions, we allocate shares in
three equal tranches as set out above.
5.4 LTI
The following table summarizes the LTI plan we applied in FY2020:
Table 5.4.1
FEATURE
DESCRIPTION
Purpose and link to
strategy
The LTI focuses the efforts of the CEO and other executives on creating sustainable long-term value. It rewards executives for
creating sustained shareholder wealth in excess of that of peer companies in our industry and absolute long-term earnings
performance over and above inflation.
Opportunity
Eligibility
Delivery
Performance period
It also encourages retention and promotes strong alignment with shareholders’ interests.
We set an annual LTI award value of 85% of fixed salary for the CEO and 60% (typical) of fixed salary for other KMP. This represents
the current face value of equity should stretch performance targets be fully achieved. The value ultimately received by executives will
depend on the Worley share price at the time of vesting, when shares become available to the executive.
All executives are eligible to participate in the LTI. To be eligible for an award, they generally must have been employed at the
beginning of the performance period i.e. 1 July before the grant.
Performance rights. Each performance right that vests entitles executives to one Worley share. The share is subject to dealing
restrictions and further vesting conditions, which become unrestricted if the executive satisfies the vesting conditions
described below.
We measure performance over a three year period. Subject to the executive remaining in continued employment, satisfying
performance hurdles and the vesting schedules described below, the FY2020 LTI will vest on 30 September 2022. In certain
circumstances, the Board may exercise its discretion and allow a good leaver to retain their performance rights. This is outlined
further in Section 8.7. On vesting, executives will receive a restricted share for each long-term equity performance right that vests.
Restricted shares will be subject to a one year restriction period, during which executives cannot deal in those shares.
Number of performance
rights
We determine the number of rights by dividing a percentage of an executives pay as at 1 July 2019 by the VWAP of shares over the
10 trading days immediately following the day on which we released our financial results for FY2019, We use the same price to
determine the number of rights we award to the CEO.
Summary of performance
conditions
We assess the LTI against two equally weighted, independent performance targets: TSR and EPS. The independent performance
targets align an executive’s interests with shareholder returns while driving long-term Company performance.

Worley Annual Report 2020FEATURE
DESCRIPTION
Vesting conditions
Relative TSR performance hurdle – 50% weighting
The TSR measure represents the change in the value of our share price over a period, including reinvested dividends. These are
expressed as a percentage of the opening value of the shares. The Board chose relative TSR as a performance hurdle because it
believes this provides the most direct measure of shareholder return and reflects an investor’s choice to invest in this Company or
our direct competitors. Executives will only derive value from the TSR component of the LTI plan if our TSR performance is at least at
the 50th percentile of companies in the peer comparator group over a three year period.
There is no retesting opportunity for the long-term equity under the relative TSR measure. The vesting schedule of the rights subject
to the relative TSR hurdle is as follows:
RELATIVE TSR PERCENTILE RANKING
Less than 50th percentile
At 50th percentile
PERCENTAGE OF RIGHTS THAT MAY BE EXERCISED IF THE
RELATIVE TSR HURDLE IS MET
0%
50%
Greater than the 50th percentile but less than the 75th percentile
Pro-rated vesting between 50% and 100%
At 75th percentile or greater
100% (i.e. maximum available under the plan)
The TSR peer comparator group for the FY2020 grant comprises:
JGC Corporation
AECOM
EMCOR Group Inc
Fluor Corporation
SNC Lavalin
Stantec
Tetra Tech
WSP Global
KBR McDermott International Inc
Aker Solutions
Quanta Services Inc
Arcadis
Bilfinger
Fugro
Petrofac
Saipem
Technip
Wood Group
The Board can adjust the peer comparator group to take into account events that happen during the performance period, for example
takeovers or mergers.
EPS growth performance hurdle – 50% weighting
To measure EPS, we divide the Group underlying NPAT by the weighted average number of the Company’s ordinary shares on issue
during the financial year. To measure growth in EPS, we compare the EPS in the financial year immediately preceding the grant with
the EPS in the measurement year. The Board chose EPS growth 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 both within and
outside the organization. The Board may adjust the Group underlying NPAT used for remuneration purposes, where appropriate, to
better reflect operating performance. Executives will only derive value from the EPS growth component of the grant made during
FY2020 if the Company achieves compound annual growth in EPS of at least 4% per annum above the increase in the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) over the three year performance period. The vesting schedule of the rights subject to the EPS growth hurdle is as follows:
COMPOUND GROWTH IN EPS OVER THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD
PERCENTAGE OF RIGHTS THAT MAY BE EXERCISED IF THE
EPS HURDLE IS MET
Less than 4% p.a. above the increase in CPI
4% p.a. above the increase in CPI
0%
50%
More than 4% p.a. above the increase in CPI but less than 8% p.a.
above the increase in CPI
Pro-rated vesting between 50% and 100%
8% p.a. or greater above the increase in CPI
100% (i.e. maximum available under the plan)
Restricted shares are subject to a one year restriction period, during which participants are unable to deal in those Shares. Restricted
shares are subject to further vesting conditions, being that the executive’s performance is satisfactory and they remain an employee
of the Group until the end of the one-year restriction period. In certain circumstances, the Board may exercise its discretion and allow
a good leaver to retain their restricted shares. This is outlined further in section 8.7.

The executive contracts include the components of remuneration which we pay. The contract includes an annual review but does not
prescribe how we will modify remuneration levels from year to year.
If we terminate an executive’s contract, they are generally entitled to their statutory leave entitlements. If an executive resigns, we
only pay their variable pay if they are employed on the date of payment or vesting (which is after the performance year). In certain
circumstances, the Board may decide to allow a good leaver to retain eligibility to variable pay. We have outlined this further in section 8.7.
The Company did not make any sign-on or separation payments during FY2020. In accordance with his employment contract Andrew
Wood received a payment in lieu of the unserved portion of his 12-month notice period following his cessation on 3 July 2020.

Worley Annual Report 20207. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
This section outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the Company’s Non-Executive Directors (NEDs).
We set NED fees at a level that is market competitive in order to attract and retain the high caliber of directors the Company requires
for it to adequately address the significant strategic and operational challenges it faces, domestically and abroad. There is a cap on the
fee amount we can pay to NEDs in any year (these include Board and Committee fees). This cap is agreed by our shareholders.
The current maximum aggregate amount is $3.25 million per annum. This was set by shareholders at the 2012 Annual General
Meeting. Of the aggregate annual fee pool, we paid 82% ($2.66 million) during FY2020 compared to 69% ($2.24 million) in FY2019.
Total fees paid during FY2020 increased. This is because we paid the full annual fee to directors who were appointed in the second
half of FY2019, made some increases to Committee fees and introduced a fee for the Lead Independent Director role. However, this
was offset by reducing the travel allowances we paid to directors due to conducting Board and committee meetings virtually in the
second half of FY2020. As a reminder, the Chairman, Mr John Grill, elected to receive no fees for his role in both FY2017 and FY2018.
We reinstated his fees effective 1 July 2018.
The Board reviews NED fees each year to compare them to the fees paid by other ASX listed companies of similar size and global
scope. It also considers the number of NEDs we need for the business. Following the review in 2019, the Board increased the fees
for the People and Remuneration Committee (formerly Remuneration Committee) Chair, HSS Committee Chair and HSS Committee
member, effective 1 July 2019.
We have set out the Board and committee fees for FY2020 in the table below. These amounts include superannuation contributions
made on behalf of NEDs in accordance with the Company’s statutory obligations. The directors do not receive any performance-
related incentives such as options or rights to shares, and we provide no retirement benefits to NEDs other than superannuation
contributions. All NEDs held office for the whole of FY2020, unless otherwise stated on page 52.

expenses, including travel, they incur while working. We do not pay retirement benefits to NEDs, unless required to by legislation.
From time to time, the Board may determine special fees for additional duties directors undertake.
We have set out the remuneration outcomes of the NEDs for FY2020 and FY2019 in the Remuneration Tables section of the report,
on page 77. We have detailed the NED beneficial interests in shares of the Company as at 30 June 2020 in the Remuneration Tables

8. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
The diagram below illustrates the process we follow to make remuneration decisions, and explains the roles various stakeholders play:
Board
• Ensures remuneration policies and structures are competitive, fair, and aligned
with the long-term interests of the Company;
• Sets and approves remuneration structures; and
• Approves the amount of remuneration for the CEO, other executives and NEDs.
Nominations
Committee
• Reviews and assesses the CEO’s
performance.
• Advises the Board on the CEO’s
remuneration – including:
• amount;
• structure; and
• applicable performance targets.
Audit and
Risk Committee
Assists/advises the Board in relation to:
• Risk issues, conduct and/or
compliance matters that may affect
remuneration outcomes; and
• the financial targets and results,
including any qualitative overlay and
adjustments, for remuneration
purposes.
Health, Safety
and Sustainability
Committee
Assists/advises the Board in relation to:
• definition of HSS KPIs; and
• assessment of HSS performance and
KPI outcomes.
People and
Remuneration
Committee
Assists/advises the Board in relation to:
• remuneration structure and policies;
• NED remuneration;
• executive performance assessment,
remuneration, and where required
engages independent advisors for
advice on remuneration structure
and amounts for the CEO,
other executives and NEDs;
• alignment of remuneration framework
and outcomes with the Company’s
culture and risk appetite; and
• culture and values, diversity and
inclusion strategy and targets and
leadership succession.
External market data
and external consultants
We source market data from published reports and
independent surveys. If required, the Board and People and
Remuneration Committee engage external consultants to
provide advice or information. Their input is used as a guide
only i.e. the Board and People and Remuneration Committee
make the decisions.
Management
• CEO recommends pay increases and variable pay
outcomes for the executives (other than the CEO). At the
request of the Nominations Committee or the People and
Remuneration Committee.
• Provides information relevant to remuneration
decisions and, if appropriate liaises with advisors to
help the relevant committee with factual information.
• The Board makes all decisions about executive
remuneration. However, if appropriate, management is
included in the People and Remuneration Committee
and Board discussions.
69
Worley Annual Report 2020During FY2020 we expanded the scope of our Remuneration Committee to include additional responsibilities and changed the name
to the People and Remuneration Committee. These responsibilities related to:
• diversity and inclusion strategy and objectives;
• executive development and succession, and
• our culture and values.
This change has strengthened the People and Remuneration Committee’s governance on people-related topics. The People and
Remuneration Committee has also strengthened the relationship with the Audit and Risk and HSS Committees. This is to further
align remuneration with culture and risk appetite and enhance the governance of remuneration strategy, framework and outcomes.
This is a continued focus for the Board in FY2021.
The People and Remuneration Committee or Board use advice and information as a guide only and are responsible for all decisions. If
required, the People and Remuneration Committee seeks independent advice relating to the quantum and structure of remuneration.
In these situations, the remuneration advisor engages directly with the People and Remuneration Committee Chair.
During FY2020, KPMG gave management and the People and Remuneration Committee market practice information and advice.
This did not include remuneration recommendations. The Committee and Board considered all information and advice provided.
The engagement cost was not material for either party. The People and Remuneration Committee is satisfied that the information
KPMG provided was free from undue influence by any executive. We engaged Orient Capital to calculate the TSR for the purposes of
determining the vesting of LTI. The amount the Company paid to Orient Capital is not material for either party.
8.1 Minimum shareholding requirement
Executives are required to meet a MSR so as to:
• reinforce our objective of aligning executives to shareholders and encouraging them to behave like owners; and
• increase focus on building long-term shareholder value.
To satisfy the requirement, executives must retain equity they received though incentive plans until their holding is equivalent in value
to two times their fixed pay (or four times fixed pay for the CEO). They must maintain that multiple. The table on page 73 shows a
summary of the position of each executive against the requirement as at 30 June 2020.
We require NEDs to hold a MSR to align NED and shareholder interests. Each NED must build a holding of the Company’s ordinary
shares that is equivalent in value to their annual fee. NEDs are expected to comply with this within their first full term of three years
as a director. The table on page 78 shows a summary of the position of each NED against the requirement as at 30 June 2020.
For the purposes of this test, we have calculated the value of shares using the number of shares held at 30 June 2020 multiplied by
the five-day (VWAP) of the Company’s shares up to and including 30 June 2020 ($8.77) or purchase price if higher.
8.2 Other equity provisions
Equity rights granted to the executives under our equity plans carry:
• no voting or dividend entitlements; and
• no entitlement to participate in new share issues made by the Company other than bonus issues and capital reorganizations (when
the Board may adjust the number of rights in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, so as to ensure no advantage or disadvantage
to the executive).
8.3 Exercise of equity rights and allocation of shares
Once an executive has satisfied their performance hurdles, their equity rights are automatically exercised (unless they elect
otherwise) and participants acquire shares at a nil exercise price. Where an executive has a tax withholding obligation on vesting,
we may withhold a number of shares equal to the value of the tax and social security obligations. We then pay the value directly
to the relevant tax authority on the executive’s behalf. Shares allocated to an executive upon exercise of rights rank equally with
all other ordinary shares on issue. Where the shares are subject to further vesting conditions or restriction periods (i.e. they are
restricted shares), they cannot be sold before the vesting date or end of the restriction period (as applicable). They may still be
forfeited in certain circumstances. After vesting, participants have unencumbered ownership of the shares, subject to complying
with the Company’s Securities Dealing Policy and MSR.
8.4 Dilution limit
The Board has determined that the number of securities we issue to executives and all other participants under our equity plans
should be capped at 5% of the issued share capital of the Company over a five-year period. Currently, the number of securities issued
and held in accordance with the equity plans represents 2.06% of the Company’s issued share capital (FY2019: 1.56%).
70
REMUNERATION REPORTWorley Annual Report 20208.5 Hedging
Under our Securities Dealing Policy, directors and executives are not permitted to hedge unvested performance rights or shares that
count towards their MSR. This ensures that executives:
• cannot limit the risk associated with these instruments; and
• are subject to the same fluctuations in share price as all other shareholders.
8.6 Clawback and malus provisions
Our clawback and malus provisions within the variable pay plans enable the Board to claw back or lapse an employee’s unvested
equity rights (or their vested but unexercised equity rights) if they believe that the employee:
• has acted fraudulently or dishonestly;
• is in breach of their obligations to the Company or another Group company; or
• received awards based on financial accounts which were later restated.
8.7 Cessation of employment and change of control
The Group’s policy in relation to termination benefits and entitlements treats leaving executives fairly and according to the law
and market practice. The policy covers discretions that the Board may exercise which are summarized below. At the 2019 AGM,
shareholders approved this policy to continue this approach and keep us internationally competitive.
Where an executive leaves the Group, the Board may exercise its discretion to determine eligibility to some or all of a cash incentive
or outstanding equity rights. The Board will also decide the basis (that is the conditions, timing and so on) on which any payment or
vesting occurs. The Board will consider relevant factors, including an assessment of the executive’s contribution and performance.
In the past, the Board has generally exercised this discretion in special circumstances only, such as permanent disability, retirement
and redundancy. This is known as being a good leaver.
The Board may allow the executive to retain a portion of the cash incentive and for a portion of any outstanding unvested equity
rights to remain in the plan. We typically determine the portion on a pro-rata basis and consider the time the executive was employed
during the performance period. Any cash incentive we subsequently pay will be subject to our and the executive’s performance. The
retained unvested equity rights are subject to the applicable performance and time vesting requirements and will vest or lapse in the
ordinary course. The Board believes that this discretion is in our best interests.
The Board will exercise its discretion to determine whether any or all unvested equity rights vest in the event of a change of control of
the Company. This is where a third party unconditionally acquires more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company, pro-rata
performance against applicable performance hurdles up to the date of the change of control would be considered.

Worley Annual Report 20209. REMUNERATION TABLES (STATUTORY DISCLOSURES)
We have presented all remuneration in Australian Dollars in the following statutory tables.
9.1 Statutory remuneration outcomes
We have detailed executive remuneration in the following table in accordance with accounting standards. Accounting standards
require us to amortize the accounting value of equity awarded over the relevant period of performance (or vesting period). The table
below includes the annual accounting values. We determine the target value of equity we award during the year as a percentage of
fixed pay that Worley aims to deliver. The current targets are outlined in section 5. We have outlined the face value of deferred equity
awards vesting to executives for performance to 30 June 2020 in table 4.6.1. For the purposes of the statutory remuneration tables
deferred equity awards are called performance rights as they are awarded under the Worley performance rights plan.

1 The amount relates to the FY2020 STI plan typically paid to executives in September 2020.
2 This includes expatriate benefits (such as housing, home leave, tax advisory services) and local benefits (such as health insurance, car parking, company cars or car
allowances, fringe benefits tax, and life insurance). In some cases, these are at the election of the executives i.e. they are salary sacrificed.
3 Andrew Wood’s fixed salary includes 5 months salary for the period of his notice that he worked as an advisor and not a KMP. His termination benefit comprises 7 months
notice paid in lieu of $1,236 million and accrued statutory annual leave entitlements of $501 thousand.
4 This remuneration includes a proportion of the fair value of equity remuneration granted or outstanding during the year. The fair value of equity is based on the fair value at
grant date. It varies based on the probability of vesting 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. Equity Incentive includes awards made under the SPPR and DEP plans.
5 Andrew Berryman’s remuneration for FY2019 is disclosed from the date he joined Worley as an executive which was 27 April 2019.
6 Vinayak Pai’s remuneration for FY2019 is disclosed from the date he joined Worley as an executive which was 27 April 2019.

1 This may include rights lapsed due to cessation of employment or as a result of performance tests, or shares foregone by the executive at vesting equal to the value of any
withholding tax paid by Worley on their behalf.
2 Andrew Wood retired as CEO effective 23 February 2020. The Board decided to treat Andrew as a good leaver in respect of outstanding unvested equity. We have pro-rated
his outstanding LTI and DEP to 30 June 2020. This was calculated by reference to the portion of the relevant performance period employed to 30 June 2020 as a proportion
of the total performance period applicable to each grant. The total rights lapsed comprises rights forfeited as a result of his retirement and rights forfeited as a result of
the FY2016 LTI (EPS tranche) not vesting and the FY2018 SPPR partially vesting.

1 We discuss the service and performance criteria for the rights in the equity section on page 65 and 66 and the executive remuneration structure section on page 65.
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 rights granted may include those
awarded prior to the executive becoming KMP.
2 An independent reviewer determines the fair value per right at grant date using an appropriate option pricing model in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment.
This model takes the following 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;
• the 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. We have used a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the relative TSR, strategic hurdle rights and SPPRs.
We have used a Black-Scholes model to value the EPS growth rights, acquisition award rights, DEP rights, other cash settled rights and other equity settled rights.
3 We have calculated the total fair value of grant by multiplying the fair value per right by the number of rights granted. This does not represent the actual value the executive
will receive from the grant. This will depend on them achieving their performance hurdles over the vesting period and the face value (share price) at the time of vesting. We
have estimated the maximum value of the rights granted based on the fair value per right. If the executive does not meet the applicable performance hurdles, the minimum
total value of the rights granted is nil.
4 The number of rights lapsed represents rights lapsed due to executives not meeting performance hurdles and/or rights lapsed on cessation of employment.
5 ECR rights relate to the acquisition award for Chris Ashton and Tom Honan. ECR rights relate to ECR replacement equity for Andrew Berryman and Vinayak Pai.
6 The Board has decided to treat Andrew Wood as a good leaver in respect of outstanding unvested equity. We have pro-rated his outstanding Long-term Incentive (LTI)
and Deferred Equity Plan (DEP) to 30 June 2020. This was calculated by reference to the portion of the relevant performance period employed to 30 June 2020 as a
proportion of the total performance period applicable to each grant. The total rights lapsed comprises rights forfeited as a result of his retirement and rights forfeited as
a result of the FY2016 LTI (EPS tranche) not vesting and the FY2018 SPPR partially vesting. We will test his outstanding unvested equity against the original performance
conditions and this will vest or lapse in due course at the end of the relevant vesting period.
7 We awarded rights to Adrian Smith and Karen Sobel under the Combined Performance Pay Plan (CPPP) prior to becoming KMP.

Worley Annual Report 2020
Notes to the financial statements
For the financial year ended 30 June 2020
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Worley Limited (Company or parent entity) for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 was authorized for issue in accordance with a
resolution of the directors on 26 August 2020.
Worley Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: WOR).
Worley 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 are described in note 3 and note 4.
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 (AASB).
The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) 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 one million dollars in accordance with that Instrument. Amounts shown as 0 represent amounts less than
AUD 500,000 which have been rounded down. Prior period financial information has been rounded to the nearest million for comparative purposes.
(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 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.
The Group has not early adopted any standards or interpretations not yet effective. The potential impacts of these standards and interpretations are
disclosed in note 2(A)(vii).
(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. The
estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
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 4;
• credit loss allowance, refer note 8;
• goodwill and intangible assets with identifiable useful lives, refer note 10;
• project, warranty and other provisions, refer note 11;
• recovery and valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, refer note 29;
• defined benefit obligations, refer note 30; and
• lease extension and termination periods refer note 2(A)(v) and 2(A)(vi).
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.
(v) Adoption of new and amended accounting standards
Effective 1 July 2019, the Group adopted AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) that superseded AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117) and the related interpretations. The other
new and revised standards, amendments or AASB interpretations did not have any impact on the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Impact of adoption
AASB 16 LEASES
AASB 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. Previously,
the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under AASB 117 and related interpretations. The Group now
assesses under AASB 16 whether a contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time
in exchange for consideration. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the
contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone price.
The Group's vast majority of leases are properties, with an insignificant portion comprised of leased construction equipment, various types of vehicles and IT
equipment. Previously, the Group classified property and asset leases mainly as operating leases under AASB 117 based on the assessment that these
leases did not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. These leases typically have a two to five-year term. Some leases include an
option to renew the lease for an additional term after the end of the non-cancellable period, which when reasonably certain to be exercised, is included in the
lease term. Under AASB 16, the Group now recognizes the right of use assets (RoU) and lease liabilities for these leases. The Group has elected not to
recognize RoU and lease liabilities for low value leases and short term leases; instead, the Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases
as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
At transition, qualifying lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the applicable incremental
borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. The weighted average rate applied is 3.7%. RoU is measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the
amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments and impairments.
The following accounting policy choices and practical expedients were applied on transition:
• Applied the exemption not to recognize RoU and lease liabilities for leases with less than 12 months lease term or leases for which the underlying asset is
low value;
• Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease;
• Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; and
• Relied on the assessments of whether leases are impaired immediately before the date of initial application.
The Group presents the RoU within "Property, plant and equipment and right of use assets" as it presents underlying assets of the same nature that the
Group owns. The Group presents lease liability within "Interest bearing loans and borrowings and lease liabilities" in the Statement of Financial Position.
Interest on lease liabilities is presented within "Borrowing and finance costs" in the Statement of Financial Performance.
Under AASB 117, operating lease repayments formed part of operating cash flows. Effective 1 July 2019, under AASB 16 the Group classifies cash payments
for lease liabilities as cash flows from financing activities (while interest portion of cash flows remains in operating activities). Short term lease, low value
lease or variable lease payments and interest on lease liabilities are classified within the operating cash flows of the Group.
The modified retrospective approach has been applied on adoption. Using this approach, AASB 16 is applied with the cumulative effect of initially applying the
standard recognized at the date of initial application (1 July 2019). Accordingly, the financial information presented in the annual financial report for the period
ended 30 June 2019, has not been restated and is presented under AASB 117 Leases and related interpretations.
The accounting polices applicable to the Group as a lessor are not different from those under AASB 117; as such, the Group did not make any adjustments on
transition to AASB 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor other than in instances where the Group subleases some of its properties. Under AASB 117, the
head lease and sublease contracts were classified as operating leases. On transition to AASB 16, the RoU recognized from the head leases are presented in
"Property, plant and equipment and right of use assets", and measured in accordance with the transition rules of AASB 16. The sublease contracts where the
Group acts as an intermediary (i.e. is a lessee and a lessor at the same time) are classified as finance leases if their lease term substantially correlates with
the lease term of the head lease that is not a short term lease. Other subleases are classified as operating leases. The Group's activities as a lessor are not
considered significant. The effect of the adoption on 1 July 2019 on the Statement of Financial Position is as follows:

(vi) Changes in accounting policies on adoption of the new accounting standards
The Group defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the
contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone price.
As a lessee, the Group uses a single model for all incoming rentals and, at lease commencement date, recognizes a RoU representing the Group’s right to use
the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.
At the lease commencement date, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if that cannot be readily determined, the applicable incremental borrowing rate. Subsequently, the
lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease
payments arising from changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is
reasonably certain not to be exercised, and under some other special circumstances. The Group applies judgment to determine the lease term for some
leases in which it is a lessee that include renewal options.
At the lease commencement date, the RoU is measured as equal to the corresponding lease liability, adjusted for lease incentives, initial direct costs and
other required items. The RoU is subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
adjusted for certain remeasurement of the lease liability. RoU assets are depreciated over the lease term. RoU assets are assessed for impairment when
impairment indicators exist. RoU assets are tested for impairment on a stand-alone basis if the RoU generates largely independent cash flows and at a cash
generating unit level if the cash flows are not largely independent.
Non-lease components, low value lease, short term lease and variable lease payments are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
Worley Annual Report 2020
85
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
The Group classifies principal cash payments for lease liabilities as financing activities. Interest, short-term lease, low value lease or variable lease payments
are classified within the operating cash flows of the Group.
(vii) New accounting standards not yet applicable
Effective 1 July 2020:
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting and related amendments
The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities. The
framework clarifies some important concepts, including objectives of financial reporting, qualitative characteristics of financial information, measurement,
presentation and disclosures.
The changes to the Conceptual Framework may affect the application of AASB in situations where no standard applies to a particular transaction or event.
This is unlikely to have a material impact on the Group.
AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Definition of Material
The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. An entity will need to assess whether the information, either
individually or in combination with other information, is material in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it
could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users.
The amendment is unlikely to have an impact on the Group.
Definition of a Business - Amendments to AASB 3 Business Combinations
The standard amends the definition of a business in AASB 3 Business Combinations (AASB 3). The amendments clarify the minimum requirements for a
business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether
an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test.
As the amendments apply prospectively to transactions or other events that occur on or after the date of first application, there is no impact to the Group on
transition.
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to AASB 9, AASB 139 and AASB 7
These amendments were issued in response to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates reform on financial reporting and provide mandatory temporary reliefs
which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an
alternative nearly risk-free interest rate.
This amendment is unlikely to have an impact on the Group.
Effective 1 July 2023
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current - Amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current.
The amendments clarify:
•What is meant by a right to defer settlement;
•That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period;
•That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right; and
•That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.
Although the Group has not fully assessed the impact of the amendments, it is unlikely to have a material impact on the Group.
(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Worley Limited as at 30 June 2020 and the results of
all controlled entities for the financial year then ended. Worley Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the
consolidated entity or Group. Investments in associates are equity accounted and are not part of the consolidated entity (refer note 22).
The impact of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity is eliminated. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of controlled
entities are shown separately in the Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position.
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 the equity of members of Worley Limited.
(C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
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.
86
Worley Annual Report 2020
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 denominated
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.
(D) RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVES
On 26 April 2019 the acquisition of the ECR division from Jacobs Engineering Group Inc was completed. As disclosed in the 30 June 2019 annual financial
report, the fair values of the acquisition balances were provisional as at 30 June 2019. The review of assets and liabilities acquired was completed in the
reporting period. As a result, the final fair values of balances acquired as at 26 April 2019 resulted in differences to the previously disclosed provisional
amounts.
In accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations (AASB 3) the provisional fair values of assets and liabilities acquired are retrospectively adjusted to reflect
information obtained during the measurement period that existed at acquisition date.
The changes per Statement of Financial Position category are shown below. There are no changes to the Statement of Financial Performance and Other
Comprehensive Income or the Statement of Cash Flows from the 30 June 2019 disclosed amounts, nor the basic or diluted earnings per share.

1 Aggregated revenue is defined as statutory revenue and other income plus share of revenue from associates, less procurement revenue at nil margin, pass-through revenue at nil
margin, certain government subsidies and interest income. The Directors of Worley Limited believe the disclosure of the relevant share of revenue from associates provides
additional information in relation to the financial performance of Worley Limited Group.
2 Segment result is segment revenue less segment expenses and excludes the items listed in note 3(H). It is the key financial measure that is presented to the chief operating
decision makers.
3 Excludes amortization on acquired intangible assets and impairments but includes amortization of leased right of use assets.

3 Pass-through revenue at nil margin refers to sub-contract packages for services or materials where the Group does not receive a margin.
4 Calculated on aggregate revenue basis.
5 FY2019 includes onerous lease contracts and bridging facility fee offset by foreign exchange gains on term deposits.
6 $40m income was recognized from government subsidies in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, the UK and Singapore. These grants were provided as payroll
assistance. As such in accordance with the Group's accounting policy, this income was offset with $22m payroll costs resulting in a net $18m gain recognized. $20m of
government subsidies was received in cash in the current reporting period.
7 In FY2019 net finance costs exclude interest income on term deposits, net of capitalized costs write off due to one-off nature of such items. FY2020 includes AASB 16 interest.

Worley Annual Report 2020
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
(G) IDENTIFICATION OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Group's operating model consists of the following four lines of business for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, remaining unchanged from the prior
year segments:
• Energy & Chemical Services;
• Mining, Minerals & Metal Services;
• Major Projects & Integrated Solutions; and
• Advisian.
(H) ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND INTER-SEGMENT TRANSACTIONS
Segment revenues and expenses 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 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 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;
• interest and tax for associates;
• amortization of acquired intangible assets;
• transition and acquisition costs;
• other gains and losses as described in note 3(D);
• income tax expense as required on the above items; and
• tax from changes in tax legislation.
(I) MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The most significant customer accounted for 6.5% (2019: 7.7%) of aggregated revenue and is predominantly within the Energy & Chemical Services and Major
Projects & Integrated Solutions lines of business and is in all customer sector groups (2019: Energy and the Chemicals customer sector groups).

The amount of revenue recognized in the financial year 2020 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods is $11 million
(2019: $3 million) and is mainly due to the changes in the estimate of the stage of completion.
In addition to billings in advance balances, $403 million (2019: $887 million) of revenue (lump sum projects with an expected duration of one year or more) is
expected to be recognized in the future relating to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the reporting date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized and disclosed net of trade
allowances, duties and taxes paid.
The Group utilizes a five-step approach to revenue recognition which requires the Group to identify contracts and performance obligations, determine the
transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Group exercises judgment, taking into consideration all the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with its
customers.
The Group’s main revenue streams are as follows:
• Professional services revenue
• The Group performs engineering design and project delivery services. These activities are usually highly integrated and accordingly where appropriate are
accounted for as a single performance obligation. Performance obligations are fulfilled over time as the services are delivered, as the Group has a right of
payment for services delivered to date together with the highly customized nature of the services provided. Consequently, the Group recognizes revenue
for these service contracts over time. Payment terms depend on the contracts specifics and usually are within 30 to 60 days term.
• Construction and fabrication revenue
• The Group performs construction and fabrication services. These activities are highly integrated and accordingly where appropriate are accounted for as a
single performance obligation. Performance obligations are fulfilled over time as the services are delivered, as the Group has a right of payment for services
delivered to date together with the highly customized nature of the services provided. Consequently, the Group recognizes revenue for these construction
contracts over time. Payment terms are usually based on milestones achieved and are within 30 to 60 days from the date of the invoice.
• Procurement revenue
• Procurement revenue represents services from entering into contracts with customers to acquire, on their behalf, equipment produced by various suppliers
and/or services provided by different subcontractors. The Group executes procurement services as a principal and as an agent. Where the Group controls
the promised goods or services before transferring them to the customer, the Group is a principal and records revenue and costs on a gross basis. If the
Group does not control the promised goods and services before transferring to the customer, i.e. the Group’s role is to arrange for another entity to provide
the goods or services, then the Group is an agent and records revenue and costs at the net amount that it retains for its agency services (margin). The
performance obligation is satisfied over time and payment is usually due upon receipt of the equipment by the customer or as subcontractor services are
performed, depending on the terms of the contract. Payment terms are usually within 30 to 60 days.
The Group measures revenue on the basis of the effort expended relative to the total expected effort to complete the service. Revenue on reimbursable
contracts is recognized in the same period as the associated costs based on agreed rates in accordance with the timing of work performed as it reflects the
expected effort to fulfil the performance obligation. For lump sum contracts the Group considers the terms of the contract, internal models and other sources
when estimating the projected total cost and the stage of completion. The percentage of completion is estimated by qualified professionals within the project
teams. Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change.
Variable consideration, including performance incentives, is recognized from the outset of the contract but only to the extent that it is highly probable that a
significant revenue reversal will not occur. This estimate takes into account the facts and circumstances of each individual contract and historical experience
and is reassessed throughout the life of the contract.
The Group provides assurance warranties for general rework which are accounted for in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets.
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by
the customer exceeds one year. Therefore, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
Government grants
Government grants are recognized under the requirements of AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
Government grants are only recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached will be complied with and the grant will be
received. Government grants are recognized in profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related
costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants are recognized immediately in profit and loss if a receivable as compensation for
expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support with no further related costs. Government grants are recorded
against the related expense in the Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income. Government grants in relation to COVID-19 in
FY2020 are excluded from the underlying results.
Interest
Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest rate method including interest income on subleases that are classified as finance
leases under AASB 16.
Dividends
Revenue is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established.

Contract costs
Costs to obtain or fulfil a contract (contract costs) include all costs directly related to specific contracts that are specifically chargeable to the customer under
the terms of the contract and an allocation of overhead expenses incurred in connection with the Group’s activities in general. The Group’s contract costs are
expensed as incurred unless they are allowed for capitalization under the accounting standards.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Employee benefits
Employee benefits expenses are charged against profit on a net basis in their respective categories.
(i) Share based payments – equity and cash settled rights
Equity rights (rights) over the ordinary shares of Worley 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 value 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 equity settled 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 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 TSR component, strategic hurdle rights and the SPPRs. For the EPS, EBIT and
“continuous employment" condition, the Black-Scholes model is utilized. 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.
1 Excludes amounts utilized.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
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:
• interest on bank overdrafts, and short term and long term loans and borrowings;
• amortization of discounts or premiums relating to loans and borrowings and non-current payables; and
• interest on lease liabilities.
Depreciation and amortization
Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the net cost 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 and buildings range from 30 to 40 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.
Identifiable intangible assets
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 for an intangible asset with a finite
useful life is 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. 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
7 years; and
3-15 years;
5-20 years;
3-10 years.
Goods and services tax (GST)
Expenses are recognized net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, GST
is recognized as part of the expense.

be realized; or
• the losses are transferred to an eligible entity in the relevant tax entity; and
• the relevant tax entity continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and
• no changes in legislation adversely affect the relevant entity in realizing the benefit from the deductions for the losses.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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 as well as any adjustments required between prior periods’ current tax expense and income tax returns and any
relevant withholding taxes.
Current and deferred tax amounts relating to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity and not in the Statement of Financial Performance.
Tax consolidation
Worley 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, Worley Limited.
The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly owned entities fully compensate Worley Limited for any current tax
liability assumed and are compensated by Worley Limited for any current tax loss, deferred tax assets and tax credits that are transferred to Worley Limited
under the tax consolidation legislation.

Significant movements in unbilled contract revenue are primarily due to normal trading activity. In FY2019, the primary movement was due to the ECR
business combination and a portion of trade receivables and unbilled contract revenue was reclassified to non-current.2
SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENTS IN IMPAIRMENT ALLOWANCE
There have been no significant movements in the impairment allowance.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
A trade receivable is recognized when the goods and services are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the
passage of time is required before the payment is due. Trade receivables are generally on terms of 30 to 60 days. Receivables are stated with the amount of
GST included.
Unbilled contract revenue is initially recognized when the Group provides services or procures goods for a customer before the customer pays consideration
or before a payment is due. Unbilled contract revenue represents the Group’s contract assets at the reporting date. These assets are reclassified to trade
receivables when the customer is billed as stipulated in the contract, i.e. when the rights to consideration become unconditional. Unbilled contract revenue is
stated at the aggregate of contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses and progress billings.
Trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost as they are held to collect contractual cash flows that consist solely of payments of principals
and interest on the principal amounts outstanding. At initial recognition, the Group measures trade and other receivables at transaction value with
subsequent measurement at amortized cost.
An allowance for impairment 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. The Group also assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its trade
and other receivables carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables and unbilled contract revenue, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses
to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. This assessment was done at 30 June 2020 and the respective increase in provision due to current
economic conditions (including the COVID-19 pandemic impacts) has been recognized as at 30 June 2020.
1 Allowance for impairment of trade receivables has been netted off against the gross receivable position where it is unlikely that recovery will be received. The prior year
comparative has been restated.
2 Non-current trade receivables and unbilled contract revenue relate to projects where recovery is expected to take greater than twelve months and $48m of non-current payables
as at 30 June 2020 relate to these non-current trade receivables and unbilled contract revenue (30 June 2019: $47m).

The Group’s exposure to currency and interest rate risk for trade and other payables is disclosed in note 19.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Liabilities for trade and other payables are measured 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. Payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
Billings in advance or unearned revenue represent the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has billed the
customer or received advance consideration from the customer. Billings in advance are recognized as revenue when the Group performs
under the contract. Billings in advance are classified as measured at amortized cost subsequently to their initial recognition at fair value.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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.
Identifiable intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination have finite useful lives and 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.
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.
Impairment of assets
Goodwill is not amortized; instead, it is tested annually, unless impairment is indicated. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of cash generating units (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.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the groups of CGUs to which the goodwill relates. The recoverable value of each CGU is
estimated based on its value in use, consistent with prior periods. When the recoverable amount of the groups of CGUs is less than the carrying amount, an
impairment loss is recognized. Where certain assets cease to be a part of a CGU (including but not limited to rights of use assets), they are tested for
impairment individually and where required are written down to their recoverable value.
Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not subsequently reversed. Impairment losses recognized for right of use assets can be subsequently reversed
where it is supported by the recoverable value amount.
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 (CGUs).
Impairment testing value in use calculations use cash flow projections based on financial forecasts of how the business is expected to perform consistent
with current and historical experience and external data. The estimation of future cash flows requires assumptions to be made regarding future uncertain
events. The risk adjusted revenue growth rates for the CGUs range from 3% to 5% for the first five years. Transition of the worlds energy systems and
sustainability forms part of our strategy and theses have been considered in the market data utilized to assess the growth rates for each CGU. A risk
premium is included in determining each CGU's discount rate, reflecting the level of forecasting, size, country and financing risks for that CGU.

COVID-19 pandemic impact on projected cash flows
Budgeted cash flows have been based on the Group's past experience and the assessment of economic and regulatory factors affecting the markets within
which the Group operates. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Group business lines to varying degrees across the geographies we operate. Impacts
include travel restrictions, access to sites restrictions and general chargeability and productivity constraints. Whilst the future health and economic
consequences of COVID-19 remain uncertain, the experience to date of the impacts of COVID-19 on FY20 has been taken into consideration in the
preparation of the FY2021 budget and the projections for FY2022 - FY2025. The projected cash flow considers the impacts of COVID-19 through the FY2021
budget and compound annual growth rates for CGUs range from 3% to 8%.
During the second half of FY20 all CGUs experienced some contract losses as well as some general deferral of activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to this, the Group has implemented and started executing a restructuring plan in various areas of operation to achieve sustainable and stable
performance in the near term. The impacts of the COVID-19 related slowdown as well as the benefits of committed restructuring programmes have been
considered in forming the FY2021 budget in the discounted value in use cash flow models.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The combined recoverable values of all CGUs exceed the carrying value by $880 million. Management recognizes that the cash flow projections, discount and
growth rates used to calculate the value in use may vary from what has been estimated.
The value in use estimate is particularly sensitive to the achievement of long term growth rates, discount rates and the forecast performance. The Group has
performed detailed sensitivity analysis as part of its impairment testing to ensure that the results of its testing are reasonable.
Sensitivity analysis on the inputs for all CGUs is as follows:
• terminal growth rates: a 0.5% decrease in the terminal growth rate will result in all the CGUs listed above being free of impairment at reporting date;
• post-tax discount rates: a 0.5% increase in the discount rate will result in all the CGUs listed above being free of impairment at reporting date; and
• forecast cash flows: a 10% decrease in the forecast cash flows will result in all the CGUs listed above being free of impairment at reporting date.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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.
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, severance pay 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 high quality corporate bond rate with terms to maturity
approximating the terms of the related liability, is used.
1 Onerous lease provisions held as at 30 June 2019, were reclassified as impairment of RoU assets recognized on adoption of AASB 16 on 1 July 2019 as detailed in note 2(A)(v).
Worley Annual Report 2020
101
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
Project losses
Where additional costs are expected to be incurred on a project but where timing and exact magnitude are uncertain, a provision is recognized using
management's best estimate based on the project circumstances. Additionally, where the outcome for a services contract is expected to result in an overall
loss over the life of the project, this loss is provided for when it first becomes known that a loss will be incurred.
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.
Onerous contracts
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the unavoidable costs of meeting the lease contract obligations under the contract exceed the
economic benefits expected to be received under it.
In FY2019, provisions for onerous leases were recognized when the unavoidable costs of meeting the contract obligations under the contract exceed the
economic benefits expected to be received under it. Due to adoption of AASB 16, in FY2020 these provisions contain only service components of the lease
contracts, whilst on adoption of AASB 16 the lease components were reclassified as impairments to the respective RoU assets.
Warranty
The Group provides a general warranty for rework which is accounted for in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
The provision is estimated having regard to prior 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. It is expected that these costs will be incurred within two years of balance date.
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.
Other provisions
Other provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) other than obligations described above as a result of a past
event and where it is probable that resources will be expected to settle the obligation and the amount of such obligations can be reliably estimated.
12. 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 2020 and 30 June 2019
was as follows:
Total interest bearing loans and borrowings excluding lease liabilities1
Add: Lease liabilities2
Less: derivatives3
Less: cash and cash equivalents4
Net debt
Total equity
Gearing
Gearing as at 30 June 2020 excluding lease liabilities is 18.3%.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial year.
Neither the Group nor any of its subsidiaries is in breach of externally imposed capital requirements.

In the second half of FY2020, approximately $480 million of debt facilities were renewed for a further 12 months (to April 2021) and $465 million additional
facilities were secured for a period of 12 months to April 2021.
Due to the Group's property rationalization program noted in note 28, termination options held under certain property agreements have been assessed as
reasonably certain to be exercised as at 30 June 2020. Should these options not be exercised, the lease liability would increase by $11 million.
FY2019
In February 2019, the Group refinanced its core syndicated debt facility as a result of the acquisition of ECR. The new multi-currency facility led by Wells
Fargo Bank, HSBC Bank and Standard Chartered Bank consists of a US$500 million revolving credit facility and a $800 million term loan. The facility matures
in February 2024.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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.
Lease liabilities
The Group defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the
contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone price.
The Group's vast majority of leases are properties, with a small portion comprised of leases of construction equipment, vehicles and IT equipment.
Previously, the Group classified property and asset leases mainly as operating leases under AASB 117 based on the assessment that these leases did not
transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership.
As a lessee, the Group uses a single model for all incoming rentals and, at lease commencement date, recognizes a RoU representing the Group’s right to use
the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.
At the lease commencement date, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if that cannot be readily determined, the applicable incremental borrowing rate. Subsequently, the
lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease
payments arising from changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is
reasonably certain not to be exercised, and under some other special circumstances. The Group applies judgment to determine the lease term for some
leases in which it is a lessee that include renewal options.
Some property leases contain extension options or termination options exercisable by the Group before the end of the non-cancellable contract period. The
Group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension or termination option. These are reassessed if there
is a significant event or changes in circumstance within its control.
Finance 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. A
qualifying asset is defined as an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Borrowing costs include:
• interest on bank overdrafts, and short term and long term loans and borrowings;
• amortization of discounts or premiums relating to loans and borrowings and non-current payables; and
• lease liability interest.
• Included in the total finance costs of $132m (2019: $72m) disclosed in the Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income is $23m
recognized on lease liabilities (2019: nil).

In the prior financial year, the Group issued 186.6 million shares at $15.56 each to fund the ECR acquisition. The issue was a 1 for 1.47 fully underwritten,
pro-rata, accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer for $2.9 billion. The attributable costs of the issuance of shares were $57 million and have been
charged to equity as a reduction in issued capital. Additionally, 58.2 million shares valued $14.47 each on the date of the transaction were issued to Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc as part of the ECR purchase consideration totalling $842 million (refer note 21(B)).
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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.
1 Included in ordinary shares are 1,006,193 (2019: 1,036,193) 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 Worley
Limited Plans Trust holds nil (2019: nil) shares of the company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
(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 Worley 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 2020, 30,000 (2019: 60,000) 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.

(A) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION RESERVE
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign
controlled entities and associates, and the net investments hedged in their entities.
(B) HEDGE RESERVE
The hedge reserve is used to record gains or losses on hedging instruments used in the cash flow hedges that are recognized directly in equity. Amounts are
recognized in the Statement of Financial Performance when the associated hedged transaction affects the profit and loss.
No amount was recognized in the Statement of Financial Performance in relation to hedge ineffectiveness for the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: nil).
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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. The following effectiveness criteria are applied:
• An economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument;
• The effect of credit risk does not dominate the fair value changes; and
• The hedge ratio applied for hedge accounting purposes should be the same as the hedge ratio used for risk management purposes.
(C) PERFORMANCE RIGHTS RESERVE
The performance rights reserve is used to recognize the fair value of equity rights issued but not vested.
(D) DEFINED BENEFITS RESERVE
The defined benefits reserve is used for remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actual gains and losses, the return on plan
assets (if applicable) and any asset ceilings where applicable.
(E) ACQUISITION RESERVE
The acquisition reserve is used to record differences between the carrying value of non-controlling interests before acquisition and the consideration paid
upon acquisition of an additional shareholding, where the transaction does not result in a loss of control. In FY2019, the Group decreased its share in Jacobs
Matasis Pty Ltd from 74% (acquired 26 April 2019) to 65% in May 2019, following a share buyback. No such transactions occurred in FY2020.
1 The expected volatility was determined based on the historical share price volatility of the Company. The resulting expected volatility therefore reflects the assumption that the
historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

MEASUREMENT
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit attributable to members of Worley Limited by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to members of Worley 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.

19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(A) OVERVIEW
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans and overdrafts, cash and short term deposits and derivatives and
leases liabilities accounted for under AASB 16. 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. The financial
assets of the Group comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, derivative financial instruments and off Statement of Financial Position
guarantees and letters of credit. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is 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.
Worley Annual Report 2020
109
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
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 expected credit losses that represents its estimate of expected credit losses in respect of trade and other
receivables.
Guarantees
Details of outstanding guarantees are provided in note 25(A). The Group is, in the normal course of business, required to provide guarantees and letters of
credit on behalf of controlled entities, associates and related parties in respect of their contractual performance related obligations.
Maximum credit exposure
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:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade receivables, unbilled contract revenue and retentions, net of credit loss allowance
Other receivables
Amounts receivable from associates and related parties

The Group applies the simplified approach under AASB 9 to measure expected credit losses for trade receivables and unbilled contract revenue which applies
a lifetime expected loss model. The Group uses judgment in making the assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the
Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates.
The allowance amounts 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.
1 Provision for doubtful debts with no chance of recovery have been written off against the gross receivable to which they relate. The prior year comparative has been restated.
110
Worley Annual Report 2020
(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.
The Group has unrestricted access at balance date to the following lines of credit:

(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. 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 costs incurred.
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 loans and 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 denominated.
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 equity attributable to members of Worley Limited. Currency exposure arising
from the net assets of the Group’s foreign operations is managed primarily through borrowings denominated in the relevant foreign currencies.
(1) CROSS CURRENCY SWAPS
The Group uses cross currency swaps (CCS) to hedge its foreign currency interest rate risk, most with a maturity of greater than one year from the
reporting date.
At balance date, the details of CCS were as follows:

Worley Annual Report 2020
(2) FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange rate transaction risk on foreign currency sales and purchases, and loans to and from related entities. The most
significant foreign exchange risk is USD receipts by Australian and other non-US entities. When required, hedging is undertaken through transactions entered
into in the foreign exchange markets. Forward exchange contracts have been used for hedging purposes and are generally accounted for as cash flow
hedges.

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 timescale (future cash flow timings) of the foreign exchange forward contracts is in line with future detailed forecast cash flows in foreign currencies.
Start dates and completion dates are tracked and the transactions are based on won projects and are highly probably to occur, resulting in immaterial
ineffectiveness. The change in fair values between the hedging instrument and item are materially the same, with the proportion of the risk that is hedged
been at or near 100%.
The gains and losses deferred in the Statement of Financial Position were as follows:
Effective hedge – unrealized gains
Effective hedge – unrealized losses

(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
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.

As the largest component of interest bearing liabilities, being bank loans, is at floating interest rates, the effect of changes in interest rates by 1% will change
interest expense by approximately 13%.
Lease liabilities recognized under AASB 16 (applicable for FY20), are recognized at the incremental borrowing rates at inception of the lease, that do not
change unless there are certain modifications or remeasurements to the lease.
20. FAIR VALUES
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.
Derivatives
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 (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.
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.
FAIR VALUES COMPARED TO CARRYING AMOUNTS
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities (including lease liabilities) approximate their carrying values with the exception of interest bearing loans and
borrowings (excluding lease liabilities) which have a fair value of $1,908 million (2019: $2,198 million) and a carrying value of $1,867 million (2019:
$2,153 million).
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). The Group's interest bearing loans and borrowings and derivative instruments including interest rate swaps
and forward exchange contracts fall within Level 2 of the hierarchy.
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 rate curves.
Fair values of the Group’s interest bearing loans and borrowings are determined by discounting future cash flows using period-end borrowing rates on loans
and borrowings with similar terms 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.
1 Excludes capitalized borrowing costs.

In accordance with the accounting standards, the Group discloses only significant entities identified on the basis of materiality.
(A) ACQUISITION OF CONTROLLED ENTITIES
FY2020:
On 25 October 2019, Worley acquired a 100% share in 3sun Group Ltd (3sun), a UK based offshore wind and energy installation, inspection and maintenance
business. The total purchase price consideration amounts to $34 million (GBP 18 million) paid in cash. As at 30 June 2020, the PPA remains provisional. Other
smaller acquisitions were also made during the period.
FY2019:
On 26 April 2019 the acquisition of ECR from Jacobs Engineering Group Inc was completed for a total consideration of $4,621 million (net of cash acquired).
ECR is a global technical services provider across Hydrocarbons, Chemicals and Mining & Minerals with significant operations in the US, Canada, the Middle
East and India.
The acquisition's contribution to the Group's reported after tax profit attributable to members of the Parent Entity was $35 million (this includes certain
transition costs), and the reported contribution to revenue was $1,254 million. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2018, management estimates that
the contribution to the Group's profit after income tax would have been $207 million, and to revenue would have been $6,684 million for the year ended 30
June 2019.
The Group incurred acquisition related costs of $51 million on legal fees, due diligence and advisory costs. These costs have been included in acquisition costs
in the Statement of Financial Performance, and in operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows.
1 Entities subject to ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/785.

Goodwill represents the value of the assembled workforce and any premium from synergies and future growth opportunities that cannot be recognized
separately. As at 30 June 2020, goodwill has been allocated to the respective CGUs as described in note 10. The carrying value equals the fair value of the net
assets acquired.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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.
Acquisition of assets and business combinations
The acquisition 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 the 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.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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.
1 Revenue as defined in note 3, Operating segments.
2 AASB 16 was adopted effective 1 July 2019, and lease commitments disclosures under the old leases accounting standard and interpretations for the current year are not

(B) ACTUAL AND PENDING CLAIMS
The Company is subject to various actual and pending claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company has regular claims reviews, including
updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The directors are currently of
the view that the consolidated entity is adequately provided in respect of these claims in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 11.
(C) ASBESTOS
Certain subsidiaries acquired as part of the Parsons acquisition (Parsons E&C), have been, and continue to be, the subject of litigation relating to the handling
of, or exposure to, asbestos. Due to the continuation and extension of the existing indemnity and asbestos claims administration arrangements between
Parsons Corporation and Parsons E&C Corporation, the Group is not aware of any circumstance that is likely to lead to a residual contingent exposure for the
Group in respect of asbestos liabilities.
26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Since the end of the financial year, the directors have resolved to pay a final dividend of 25.0 cents per fully paid ordinary share, including exchangeable
shares, unfranked (2019: 15.0 cents per share).
In accordance with AASB 110 Events after the Reporting Period, the aggregate amount of the proposed final dividend of $130 million is not recognized as a
liability as at 30 June 2020.
Since the end of the financial year, the Group acquired the remaining 50% shareholding of TW Power Services Pty Ltd (TWPS) for a cash consideration of $20
million, increasing the Group's stake to 100%. TWPS is an operations and maintenance business providing services to support critical power infrastructure
across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.
Unless disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements, no other material matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 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.
27. PROCUREMENT
In certain situations, the Group will enter into contracts with its customers which require the Group to procure goods and services on behalf of the customer.
Where the risks and rewards associated with the procurement activities are assumed by the Group, the revenues and expenses, and assets and liabilities are
recognized on a gross basis in the Statement of Financial Performance and Statement of Financial Position.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Property, plant and equipment and right of use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment, if any.
The Group has undergone a property rationalization program by reducing the number of offices required and increasing utilization of office space. As a result,
the Group has recognized an impairment of certain RoUs and related property, plant and equipment as at 30 June 2020 for $47 million and $4 million
respectively. The property rationalization program also resulted in onerous contract cost provisions recognized as at 30 June 2020 of $23 million, relating to
the service component (non-lease component) of leases considered onerous in line with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
These costs are included in the transformation and restructuring costs in note 5.
The aforementioned assets were impaired on an individual basis where they could be distinguished as a stand-alone asset (generate largely independent
cash flows). Where assets could not be individually distinguished, they are grouped and tested within the appropriate CGU as described further in note 10.
The RoU impairments represent the difference between the pre-impairment carrying value at assessment date less the recoverable amount. The recoverable
amounts include an assessment of potential sub-lease income, which requires an element of judgment and are based on Management's best estimate.
29. DEFERRED TAX
(A) DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
The balance comprises temporary differences attributable to:
Amounts recognized in the Statement of Financial Performance:
Allowance for impairment of trade receivables

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
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 and liabilities 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.
KEY ESTIMATES
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.

The Group operates defined benefit pension plans which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund. Also, the Group provides
certain post-employment healthcare benefits to employees (unfunded). Except for plans in Saudi Arabia, all plans are closed to the new participants.
The balances in relation to defined benefit plans are as follows:

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Defined benefit obligation calculation is performed by qualified actuaries using the projected credit method.
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefits plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that
employees have earned, discounted with the fair value of the plan assets deducted.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actual gains and losses, the return on plan assets and any asset ceilings where
applicable are recognized in OCI. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Net interest expense and other expenses relating to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit and loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on
curtailment is recognized in profit and loss. Gains and losses on settlement of a defined benefit plan are recognized when settlement occurs.
KEY ESTIMATES
The cost of the defined benefit pension plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of the pension obligation are determined
using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include
the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting
date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of AA
corporate bonds in countries where the defined benefit obligations are recognized along with the yield curve to correspond with the expected term of the
defined benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change
only at intervals in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the
respective countries.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Worley Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Worley Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the
consolidated statement of financial performance and other comprehensive income, consolidated
statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes
to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors'
declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act
2001, including:
a)
b)
giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020
and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
financial report.
