About this report
We are committed to providing a comprehensive account of our 
performance. We continue to integrate our sustainability performance 
into our annual report.
Australia and many of the countries we 
operate in are planning to adopt the 
standards outlined by the International 
Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). 
This change will influence our report in 
the coming years.
REPORTING FRAMEWORKS 
AND ASSURANCE 
We have prepared this report in 
accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 (Cth) (the Act), Australian 
Accounting Standards (AAS) and other 
authoritative pronouncements of the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board 
(AASB). For our consolidated financial 
statements, including independent 
auditor’s report, see page 163. 
We have also prepared this report with 
reference to the International Financial 
Reporting Standards Framework  
and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 
2021 Standards. Our website provides 
our Climate Change Report and our 
ESG Databook includes our GRI index. 
For information on our verification and 
assurance approach for non-financial 
data, see page 2 of our Sustainability 
Basis of Preparation. 
REPORT GOVERNANCE 
The Board of Directors of Worley 
Group approved this report for release 
on 27 August 2024. See page 162 for 
the Directors’ declaration.
MATERIAL SUSTAINABILITY TOPICS 
Our Annual Report 2024 discloses all 
material sustainability topics relevant 
to our performance. We conduct an 
annual materiality assessment to identify 
and prioritize the sustainability topics 
most relevant to us and our stakeholders. 
In FY2024, our materiality assessment 
determined four sustainability topics that 
are material to us and our stakeholders:
•	 climate
•	 safety, health and wellbeing
•	 talent attraction and retention
•	 responsible business conduct.
Through this report we disclose our 
progress in contributing to the effective 
management of these sustainability 
topics. See our materiality assessment 
page 30 for more information.
We have used the Integrated Reporting 
 framework to inform the structure 
of this report and shape our definition 
of value, represented by our identified 
business value drivers introduced in 
FY2022. These drivers encompass the 
various forms of capital that are crucial 
for value generation.
For more insight into how we create 
value, please see page 2.
REPORT BOUNDARY AND SCOPE 
Our report outlines how we create value 
and is mainly directed to providers of 
financial capital but is also relevant to 
all our stakeholders. We share expanded 
disclosure of our environmental, social 
and governance (ESG) performance in 
our ESG Databook. 
This report covers the period 1 July 2023 
to 30 June 2024. It covers the primary 
activities of Worley Limited (company) 
and the entities it controlled (Group or 
consolidated entity) at the end of the 
year, 30 June 2024. This report also 
contains Worley Group’s outlook, targets 
and objectives for the short, medium and 
long term. 
Due to the inherent uncertainty and 
limitations in measuring greenhouse 
gas (GHG) emissions and operational 
energy consumption, calculations are 
used to estimate all GHG emissions 
and operational energy consumption 
data or references to GHG emissions 
and operational energy volumes (including 
percentages). Worley does not guarantee 
accuracy of the information provided. 
There may be differences in the manner 
that third parties calculate or report 
GHG emissions or operational energy 
consumption data compared to us, 
which means third-party data may not 
be comparable to our data.
Certain disclosures of sustainability 
performance, such as our Scope 3 
GHG, extend beyond this reporting 
boundary. Our Sustainability Basis of 
Preparation explains how we calculate 
our GHG emissions and operational 
energy consumption, and outlines any 
variations to the reporting boundary 
and accounting methodology of our 
sustainability performance.
We have disclosed sustainability-related 
matters where we consider them to 
be material to our business. Our ESG 
Databook includes expanded disclosure 
of our sustainability performance.

OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Worley Annual Report 2024

Macroeconomic trends are reshaping the energy, chemicals, 
and resources sectors, transforming our markets and our 
customers’ strategies and investment decisions. In response, 
Worley is well-positioned to capitalize on this transformation, 
driving growth and innovation while guiding our customers 
through the transition towards a sustainable future.
This year, despite headwinds, we have delivered consistent 
growth as a result of our strategic positioning across expanding 
markets. Customers rebalancing capital allocation has led to 
some reduced project scopes and cancellations. We’re bridging 
two worlds as we transition to lower carbon energy sources, 
while helping our customers provide the energy, chemicals 
and resources that society needs now.
I am proud of the role we have in providing solutions that are 
supporting the energy transition. And I am confident that our 
ongoing delivery will continue to support long-term value for 
our shareholders and create social value with our customers, 
partners and other stakeholders. We are in the midst of a 
decades long, generational change in our markets, society and 
geopolitical landscape. Through our early mover advantage, 
we are positioned for ongoing growth in line with our ambition.
As a proud Australian company, Worley is the world’s largest 
provider of engineering, project, and asset solutions in the 
energy, chemicals, and resources sectors. With homegrown, 
sovereign capability and global expertise, Worley’s unique 
capabilities can help Australia deliver its priorities. Worley has 
matured to become a company of critical significance to the 
Australian national interest and is supporting the global shift to 
a lower-carbon future.
Our strategy remains focused on creating value for our customers, 
our shareholders and a broad range of stakeholders across the 
countries and communities in which we work. We are partnering 
with our customers to deliver infrastructure and integrated solutions 
that drive economic growth in Australia and around the world. 
During FY2024, I had the opportunity to meet with many of 
our customers, partners and shareholders in addition to visiting 
project sites in Australia and across the world. Our people 
demonstrate the innovative mindset and culture of shared 
success with our customers and partners which remain key 
differentiators for us as we strive to make a positive impact 
on the environment and society. 
Our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our people remains 
steadfast. Our Total Recordable Case Frequency Rate was 0.10 
across the Group which has improved from 0.14 at the end of 
FY2023. Providing a respectful, safe and healthy environment for 
our people and communities will remain our top priority. 
Dar Al-Handasah Consultants Shair and Partners Holdings Ltd 
(known as Sidara and formerly known as Dar Group) ceased to 
be a substantial holder in Worley Limited in accordance with the 
substantial holder notice filed on 2 May 2024. As at 31 July 2024, 
Sidara ceased to be a shareholder in Worley Limited. 
John Grill AO
Chair and Non-Executive Director
As we reflect on the past year, I’m 
pleased to share our progress and 
achievements. Central to our success 
are the over 49,700 people who 
embody our purpose of “delivering 
a more sustainable world” by finding 
solutions to our customers’ most 
complex problems.

Worley Annual Report 2024

CONSISTENT GROWTH AND PERFORMANCE
This year, we delivered on our outlook in line with our 
expectations with growth in revenue, earnings and margins. 
Our disciplined approach to capital management resulted in 
an above target cash result.
We actively invested in key areas to deliver growth, the result of 
which is now over half of our revenue is from sustainability-related 
work. We are unlocking long-term value from our diversified 
markets and our earnings base is diversified across geographies 
and sectors.
COMMITMENT TO ESG PERFORMANCE
We remain committed to delivering strong environmental, 
social and governance performance, consistent with our purpose. 
We have made significant progress on our ESG commitments, 
with our Responsible Business Assessment Standard guiding us 
to align our portfolio of targeted geographies and projects with 
responsible business practices. Our comprehensive ESG initiatives 
are designed to create positive outcomes for our stakeholders 
while mitigating risks and maximizing long-term value creation. 

We are on track to meet our net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG 
emissions reduction targets. We are pleased with the external 
recognition we have received relating to our ESG ratings. We have 
achieved an AA rating by MSCI in our new Industrials peer group, 
maintaining a leading position amongst our new peers. For the 
second consecutive year, our leadership has been recognized via 
our inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for Australia.
WE OPERATE RESPONSIBLY
We recognize our responsibilities to all our stakeholders and 
the communities we serve. Earlier this year, Worley addressed 
concerns about our historic services in Ecuador following an 
arbitral tribunal decision. We reaffirmed our robust ethical 
practices and confirmed that Worley did not breach anti-bribery 
and corruption laws. 
Our governance and operational controls promote a culture 
of lawful, ethical, and responsible behavior. Our Data Protection 
Office ensures our cybersecurity program complies with global 
data protection requirements, maintaining the integrity and 
security of our operations. We uphold the highest standards 
of integrity, transparency, and accountability through a 
robust governance program. This includes various charters, 
codes, policies, and committees that oversee key aspects of 
our operations, ensuring compliance with laws and fostering 
ethical conduct and responsible business practices. 
We engage with partners and agents that apply the same high 
standards. We act when we become aware of non-compliance 
with these practices. 
BOARD AND COMMITTEE GOVERNANCE
At the end of this financial year, we bid farewell to Wang Xiao 
Bin and Anne Templeman-Jones who decided to stand down as 
non-executive directors. I sincerely thank Xiao Bin and Anne 
for their significant contributions to Worley since their respective 
appointments to the Worley Board.
We welcome Alison Kitchen AM and Kim Gillis AM to our Board 
of Directors effective 1 July 2024. Their breadth of experience 
in Australia and overseas will be invaluable and enhance 
our existing capabilities. Alison and Kim are members of the 
Nominations Committee and Alison is also a member of the 
Audit and Risk Committee. 
We engaged independent consultants to 
conduct this year’s Board performance 
evaluation, in support of our focus on 
Board succession and renewal. The Board 
is now working to embed the insights 
from this evaluation.
IN CONCLUSION, THANK YOU
We are proud of the progress we have 
made and we remain committed to 
driving sustainable growth, delivering 
value to our stakeholders, and making a 
positive difference in the world.
We thank you, our shareholders for your 
continued support, trust and confidence. 
We extend this thanks to our directors, 
leadership team, customers, partners, 
and importantly, our people for your 
contribution to our successes.
Together, we will continue to shape a 
more sustainable future for generations 
to come.

We’re consistently delivering on our strategy as we

With the right strategy, structure and team, we’re

our team. We operate in a values inspired culture that unlocks 
brilliance through belonging, connection and innovation.
FIRST AND FOREMOST - THE HEALTH, SAFETY
AND WELLBEING OF OUR PEOPLE
Keeping our people safe and well remains our highest priority 
and lies at the heart of our culture. We’re creating a secure and 
supportive environment, leading to better mental health and 
greater engagement, innovation and productivity. I’m proud that 
we launched our wellbeing hub, which focuses on mental health 
with over 400 Worley ambassadors committed to supporting 
those in need. We published our global Respectful Workplace 
Behavior Policy which underpins our Respect at Worley Program.
WE’RE BUILDING A CONSISTENTLY PERFORMING 
BUSINESS INTO THE FUTURE
Our strategy is focused on increasing value for our stakeholders 
as we continue to develop enhanced delivery solutions and 
build on our differentiated position. We expand the value we 
bring to our customers, share in that value and provide a higher 
return on investment. Our strategic investment of $100 million 
we announced three years ago has given us an early-mover 
advantage in many developing sustainability markets. It has also 
delivered accretive returns. Since the beginning of the program, 
we’ve won $7.6 billion of new work associated with key growth 
areas. As this initial program is now complete, we’ll continue to 
consider organic investment on an annual basis, where we see 
accretive returns aligned with our growth strategy.
We have a range of strategic levers to drive value creation for 
our shareholders and customers, these include:
•	 investing in new horizons for growth across nascent markets
•	 expanding the use of our GID centers
•	 growing our Consulting and process Technology 
Solutions businesses
•	 accelerating our digital enablement.
Our actions are creating a runway for continued margin upside, 
and our strong capital management supports our growth plans.
Chris Ashton
Chief Executive Officer
As a leading global provider of 
sustainability solutions, we’re seeing 
long term growth trends from structural 
changes in our end markets. 
With our experience in supporting the 
global energy transition, we’re delivering 
some of the world’s largest and most 
innovative assets.

MAINTAINED FOCUS ON 
GOVERNANCE PROCESSES, 
CONTROLS AND MONITORING
Our Code of Conduct is core to our 
values and underpins everything we 
do. We don’t tolerate any action that 
undermines the trust we’ve all worked 
hard to build over many decades. 
Earlier this year, I leaned in to address 
concerns about our historic services in 
Ecuador. Worley’s transparent approach 
was well received by our stakeholders 
and the broader market and is a 
testament to our commitment to build 
trust. A critical fact remains in relation 
to Ecuador – we did not breach any 
anti-corruption or bribery laws. Our 
business has robust ethical business 
practices and I, as CEO, insist that 
our people uphold the highest standards 
of ethical behavior. 
We continuously work to improve our 
governance processes and build on 
our risk management, monitoring and 
control measures. I’m confident the 
controls we have in place are appropriate 
to support our values and the trust 
we’ve worked so hard to earn from 
our customers and shareholders.
DELIVERING ON OUR ESG 
COMMITMENTS
I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made 
across our ESG commitments. This year 
we established our Human Rights and 
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (HRDEI) 
Committee, which is a senior management 
body, to drive and support our continued 
progress in this area. Modern slavery 
risks and human rights remain focus 
areas for our business. We received an 
A rating from Monash University for our 
FY2022 Modern Slavery Statement. We’ve 
improved the gender balance of our 
graduates, and our intake in FY2024 is 
56%, up from 48% last year. We’ve also 
improved the gender representation in 
senior leadership positions: in FY2024 it 
is 18%, up from 16% last year. We’re on 
track to meet our net zero Scope 1 and 
Scope 2 GHG emissions reduction targets. 
We’ve also, for the first time, disclosed 
our complete Scope 3 emissions across all 
relevant categories, in line with our focus 
on improving data quality.
DISCIPLINED EXECUTION OF OUR 
STRATEGY IS EVIDENT IN OUR RESULTS
We’re consistently delivering on our 
strategy as demonstrated by increased 
earnings, margins and cash flow, in line 
with our expectations. Our aggregated 
revenue is up 6% on FY2023, with 
increases across the regions and sectors 
of energy and resources. Our underlying 
EBITA of $751 million is up from 
$635 million in FY2023. We continue to 
drive margin expansion through effective 
project delivery, automation, increased 
use of GID and streamlined operations. 
We’ve delivered an EBITA margin 
excluding procurement, of 7.9%, which 
is up from 6.8% in FY2023 and is within 
our forecast range for FY2024.
This year, our sustainability-related revenue 
has reached a milestone, accounting for 
52% of our total aggregated revenue. 
Sustainability-related work in our sales 
pipeline is now 85% and is 56% in 
our backlog. We continue to make 
progress, subject to market conditions, 
in delivery of our aspiration to derive 
75% of our aggregated revenue from 
sustainability-related work by FY2026.
OUR DIGITAL ENABLEMENT WILL 
ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY AND 
RESHAPE PROJECT DELIVERY 
Developing and deploying digital 
technology into every aspect of our 
business will be critical to driving 
innovation and maintaining a leading 
position across our ECR markets. 
This year, we launched our Advanced 
Development Lab which is our center of 
excellence for artificial intelligence and 
broader digital initiatives. We believe this 
approach will accelerate project delivery 
transformation, in a safe, secure and 
disciplined manner. 
REFLECTION ON OUR MARKETS
At a global level, we’re managing three 
macro trends: attraction and retention of 
highly skilled resources to meet demand, 
inflation and supply chain disruption and 
their impact on the economics of business, 
and ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting 
normal operations of global markets. 
While we’re seeing some projects paused 
as geopolitical tensions resolve, we believe 
the trend for investment remains positive 
as capital shifts between traditional, 
transitional and sustainable markets.
We recognize that mitigating these risks 
everyday will remain an ongoing challenge 
for businesses globally. However, the 
fundamental structural shifts in our 
market remain. Bloomberg New Energy 
Finance recently reported global spending 
on the clean energy transition has hit 
record highs of more than $1.8 trillion.1 
However, this is still not enough to get 
on track to net zero emissions by 2050. 
What’s clear, is that investment in the 
energy transition is at an early stage, 
with a significant increase 
yet to come, and this growth 
will be cyclical in nature, but 
trending up. We acknowledge 
the economics of sustainability-
related projects are challenged 
without subsidies and we’re 
working with our customers to 
bring down the levelized costs 
of these projects.
To date, supportive 
government policies and 
incentives have influenced 
spending and supported 
the economics of some of 
these early-stage technologies. 
This is influencing where 
customers invest and can have 
an impact on the timing of their 
projects. We also see industries 
and policymakers embracing 
resource circularity to secure 
vital materials, diversify 
supply and reduce emissions. 
Worley’s global footprint and 
diversified business means we 
can support our customers 
and deliver their projects, 
across regions. 
We have a clear vision for 
the future and our strategy 
is delivering. We’re unlocking 
long-term value across 
our diversified markets. We 
have a strong comparative 
advantage through our 
focus on higher value 
services, including consulting, 
engineering and full delivery 
solutions, which deliver 
innovation and efficiencies 
for our customers.
THANK YOU
I want to thank our people for 
their commitment to delivering 
sustainable change. Thanks 
also to our shareholders, 
customers, and partners for 
their support in advancing 
our ambition for a net 
zero future.

Worley Annual Report 2024

The world we operate in
Worley stands at the intersection of two worlds, navigating the transition towards a sustainable future while 
addressing the short term need to balance the energy trilemma of security, affordability and sustainability.
Macro trends are reshaping the energy, 
chemicals and resources sectors and 
our markets are undergoing a profound 
transformation, influencing how our 
customers position themselves and how 
we position the company to deliver long 
term value and profitable growth.
The direction of travel is clear; however, 
this doesn’t mean it will be straightforward 
or meet anticipated timelines.1
MULTI DECADAL TRANSITION 
AND PROLONGED 
CYCLICAL UPTURN IN 
INVESTMENT TRENDS
Structural changes and strong 
fundamentals drive long term 
growth across sectors
The International Energy Agency (IEA) 
estimates that energy investment alone 
will increase to around US$5 trillion per 
year by 2040.2 Current geopolitical issues 
and inflation have shifted the near term 
focus to energy affordability and security. 
However, the long term need to both 
grow and decarbonize the energy system 
remains critical. Despite market cyclicality, 
successful businesses will manage these 
challenges effectively.
Trends like urbanization, population 
growth, supply chain disaggregation and 
the energy transition are increasing market 
complexity and creating opportunities. 
For example, the demand for critical 
minerals is expected to nearly triple 
by 2030 and grow to over 3.5 times 
current levels by 2050, reaching nearly 
40 million tons.3
We’re bridging two worlds and will 
continue to do so for several decades. 
Helping customers from traditional 
industries decarbonize and achieve their 
emissions reduction goals is essential.
Policies and regulatory support 
continue to drive investment
There are many potential pathways to net 
zero, and the pace of progress will vary 
over time. Around the world, governments 
are introducing a variety of different policy 
settings to translate their Conference 
of the Parties (COP) commitments into 
action and encourage investment in 
low carbon energy and infrastructure.4 
Pursuing energy efficiency, abating 
emissions, securing critical minerals, 
transitioning from fossil fuels, improving 
circularity of energy transition materials 
and supporting progress on hydrogen are 
hallmarks of these pledges. Industrial 
policies like the Inflation Reduction Act 
and Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal in 
the US, the European Green Deal and 
the recently announced Future Made in 
Australia agenda will help subsidize new 
energy assets until they are commercially 
viable in their own right. The combination 
of emerging policies, regulations and 
reporting and compliance requirements 
is shifting investment behavior and 
tightening rules for accessing capital. 
EMBRACING THE DIGITAL 
REVOLUTION IS FUNDAMENTAL 
TO A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION 
Converging digital technologies 
and generative AI with 
traditional industries is more 
than a technological evolution, it 
represents a societal transformation
We’re in the midst of a new era of 
connectivity, innovation and disruption. 
One where data driven insights are the 
currency of value creation and agility 
is the hallmark of competitiveness. We 
have embraced this mega trend to stay 
ahead of the curve and use digitalization 
as a catalyst for growth and resilience. 
Our deep experience across digital twins, 
asset optimization, data centric project 
delivery and performance analytics 
enhanced with generative AI positions 
us well for this revolution.
        ...OUR RESPONSE
        We’re positioned for long 
        term value creation  
        and profitable growth
        Our commitment to 
        bridging two worlds underscores 
        our recognition of the urgent 
        need to accelerate the 
        transition across the markets 
        we serve. 
While near term focus has shifted to energy security, the energy transition demands that we continue to push low carbon 
energy forward as fast as possible without harming security or affordability.
IMPACTS OF THE ENERGY TRILEMMA FELT DURING 2024 
Sustainability
During COP 28, parties were 
called to take actions towards 
achieving, at a global scale, a 
tripling of renewable energy 
capacity and a doubling of energy 
efficiency improvements by 2030. 
The world agreed to phase down 
fossil fuel in energy systems.
Security
Geopolitical concerns linger from 
the Ukraine–Russia conflict, 
rhetoric from China–Taiwan, 
and tensions between Israel–
Palestine – all of which have 
refocused efforts to secure near 
term energy supply.
Affordability
Oil and gas majors are 
rebalancing their investments 
to focus on a secure transition 
by investing in today’s energy 
systems in addition to lower 
carbon energy systems.

OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Sector outlook
Although immediate demand and supply pressures have eased since 2022, energy markets 
remain susceptible to short term volatility and cyclicality. This highlights the delicate balance 
between energy security, affordability and positioning for a lower carbon energy mix.
Milestones and commitments
In FY2024, the energy sector saw 
significant commitments at COP28, with 
member states setting ambitious targets 
for renewable and nuclear capacity 
expansion. The resurgence in nuclear 
power and advancements in hydrogen 
projects underscored promising prospects, 
despite persistent challenges. The global 
shift from molecule-based energy to 
electron-based energy is crucial for the 
world achieving net zero, but project 
economics remain a hurdle.
Balancing decarbonization 
and profitability
Despite the push towards renewable 
energy, there is renewed focus on 
oil and gas projects as customers 
balance decarbonization commitments 
with short-term profitability and 
rising energy demand. Fossil fuel 
investments are projected to 
remain steady through the decade,1 
highlighting the sector’s resilience 
amidst evolving market dynamics.
Sustainable practices 
and carbon abatement2
Carbon abatement is increasingly 
becoming integrated into high-emitting 
facilities. Projections show the growing 
role of carbon capture and lower 
carbon hydrogen in decarbonizing 
hard-to-abate sectors.
Policy initiatives and 
regional differences
Policy initiatives, like the European 
Green Deal and the US Inflation 
Reduction Act, are driving investment 
in new lower carbon energy forms 
like nuclear (small nuclear reactors 
(SMRs)) and hydrogen. However, 
progress is uneven across regions. 
Economies like China, US, Australia 
and Europe are making significant 
policy developments, while others lag 
behind. Regulatory uncertainties and 
funding decisions continue to influence 
project timelines, emphasizing the need 
for robust government support and 
policy frameworks.
Challenges in the energy sector
Financing hurdles, supply chain 
complexities and grid infrastructure 
limitations pose significant challenges. 
Reducing the levelized cost, advancing 
technology and fostering collaboration 
are essential, alongside government 
support, to close the cost gap between 
traditional and lower carbon energy, and 
expand the lower carbon industry at scale.
OUR RESPONSE
We’re developing innovative solutions 
across traditional, transitional, and 
sustainable work as our customers bridge 
two worlds. We’re narrowing our focus 
in markets, countries, and subsectors 
aligned with our strategy and ambition 
(see page 12).
Facilitating speed to market
Our consulting, engineering, and full 
delivery solutions facilitate alignment 
across project phases, helping drive 
speed to market and reduce the levelized 
cost by lowering capital costs and 
enhancing productivity.
Meeting customer needs
We’re bringing our cross-sector expertise 
to meet customer needs. Our experience 
in key hydrocarbon basins provides 
insights into future projects. Annually 
onshore spending is projected to be about 
US$25 billion over the next five years.3 
Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand 
is anticipated to grow to 560 million 
tonnes by 2030, boosting opportunities 
across the LNG industry.4 Our strong LNG 
presence supports the energy transition. 
Geographic diversity
Our geographic diversity means we 
can work anywhere in the world 
with our customers. This global 
reach, combined with long-standing 
customer relationships, gives us 
excellent insight into future projects.

Delivering the world’s first 
Power-to-X green ammonia 
program in Morocco
When the projects have been completed and are live, Morocco will become a global 
hydrogen hub. Worley will be one of the first companies to deliver a Power-to-X green 
ammonia project at this scale. 
OCP Group’s green growth program provides for a global investment of about 
US$12 billion over the 2023-2027 period. It’s based on increasing mining and fertilizer 
production capacities while achieving full carbon neutrality by 2040.2 
Most of the energy produced across the program will power electrolyzers that have 
a capacity of around two gigawatts. These electrolyzers are needed to extract the 
hydrogen from water and are a key raw input.
As part of the program, 10 million cubic meters of water per year will be derived 
from the sea through desalination plants. Once green hydrogen is produced by the 
electrolyzers, it will act as an input to the ammonia synthesis process. In this process, 
the green hydrogen produced will be mixed with nitrogen (derived from the air via air 
separation units), to produce green ammonia (NH3).
TARFAYA 
SUSTAINABLE | POWER-TO-X
Utilizing Power-to-X (PtX) technologies, Tarfaya will see the development of a
multi-billion euro investment by OCP Group. This includes a transmission grid, 
hydrogen and ammonia plants and storage facilities and a temporary camp for 
30,000 workers (growing to the creation of a city for workers and their families) 
– all powered by wind and solar energy. 
Delivery is being led by JESA (a joint venture between OCP Group and Worley), 
and Worley’s team is executing the FEED. Work will commence in September 
2024 and when complete, will progress to engineering, procurement and 
construction management (EPCM).
The project is expected to be operational in 2027 and is anticipated to produce 
one million tonnes of green ammonia per year, with potential to increase to 
three million tonnes per year by 2032.2

1.2  Business model 
We generate earnings by performing professional, construction 
and field-based services. We also generate earnings through 
license fees, and equipment and catalyst supply from process 
technology. We offer a suite of digital products and proprietary 
technologies. We engage via alternative low risk commercial 
models that reward us for the value we bring. Our risk-adjusted 
approach and low risk appetite is a key differentiator from our 
competitors. We predominantly operate in Organization for 
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, 
which represents approximately 74% of our aggregated revenue. 
Non-OECD countries we operate in include Morocco, Saudi Arabia, 
United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman and China. In these locations, 
our customers are predominantly major corporations with 
international businesses. 
We do not and will not perform competitively bid lump sum 
turnkey (LSTK) work. The risk exposure for this type of work 
does not align to our risk appetite. Our contract types include 
reimbursable and fixed-price contracts. 
We use a remuneration program for our senior leaders focused on 
what they deliver and how they deliver (approximately 1,150 people).
This drives our strategic objectives and transformation.
REIMBURSABLE CONTRACTS, 
84% OF OUR REVENUE IN FY2024:
These contracts are based on reimbursing of reasonable and 
allowable actual costs plus profits. In addition to the base profits 
these contracts generate, we may earn further incentives from 
creating enhanced value for the customer, depending on the 
individual contract terms and conditions. When negotiating with 
our customers, we’re typically able to adjust our contracts in line 
with inflation and wage increases. 
FIXED-PRICE CONTRACTS, 
16% OF OUR REVENUE IN FY2024:
A fixed-price contract is appropriate when there is a well-defined 
bill of materials or statement of work, and the parties can agree 
on the price of the goods or services. We generally execute 
fixed-price contracts as:
•	 lump sum EPC, typically where we’ve completed the preceding 
phases and are confident of the scope. We could see an 
increase in these types of contracts in the future if they present 
the opportunity for higher margins while minimizing risk.
•	 lump sum services contracts, where we can control the 
outcomes. These typically have a short duration (on average, 
under six months) and would generally take into consideration 
inflationary expectations.

Worley Annual Report 2024

We have minimal direct exposure to supply chain risk as we 
typically purchase materials on behalf of our customers.
We use a controlled framework to guide and determine the type 
of projects we bid and work on. This includes our Responsible 
Business Assessment Standard.
Aggregated revenue and profit: We generate our revenue and 
profit from many customers. As a result, we don’t depend on any 
one customer for a significant portion of our revenue or profit. 
Aggregated revenue doesn’t include revenue that has nil margin. 
(Revenue with nil margin typically relates to procurement revenue 
where we procure on our customers’ behalf, with no exposure to 
financing costs or warranty obligations.)
We include revenue attributable to associates within aggregated 
revenue.1 We believe disclosing this revenue provides more 
information about the financial results of the Group. 
Costs: Our largest costs are people, technology, reimbursable 
expenses and administration, which includes office leases. 
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 hold several intangible assets, generated from previous 
acquisitions. Our working capital is not capital intensive. 
Our customers pay us at longer intervals than we pay some of 
our expenses (e.g. people). This time difference, including the 
time from incurring costs to invoicing customers, makes up the 
majority of our working capital requirements. During the current 
growth phase of the business, additional working capital will 
be invested as the volume of work increases. We continue to 
maintain discipline over managing this investment.
1.3  Review of operations
We manage operations in two regions: the Americas (comprising 
the US, Canada and Latin America) as one region and the 
combination of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia 
Pacific, Australia and China (APAC) as the other. This structure 
simplifies how we engage with our customers. It allows us 
to collaborate across the business and bring the best of our 
capability to help our customers find solutions to their most 
complex challenges. When reporting these two regions, we 
disclose activities in three parts: the Americas, EMEA and APAC, 
and by three sectors: energy, chemicals and resources.
1.3.1  BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND RESILIENCE 
The nature and breadth of our business mean that we are 
exposed to situations that impact the wellbeing of our people, 
disrupt our business and could stop us achieving our strategic 
objectives. We support our people and business to address 
uncertain situations, including natural disasters and geopolitical 
conflict. Our R3 (ready, response and recovery) management 
system helps us to protect our people and maintain business 
continuity in the face of major disruption events. Our R3 system 
includes a dedicated intelligence function to increase our 
geopolitical insight and enhance our risk management focus on 
disruptive events, including cybersecurity threats. We commit 
to extensive training of our multiple response and recovery 
teams to make sure we’re prepared to address the vast array 
of foreseeable and unforeseen incidents.
1.4  Significant changes in operations
There were no significant changes to operations during the 
financial year ended 30 June 2024.
2. Group outlook
2.1  Outlook context
At a macro level Worley is managing three key risks: attraction 
and retention of highly skilled people to meet demand; inflation 
and supply chain disruption and their impact on the economics 
of business; and ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting normal 
operations of global markets. Higher cost of capital and variable 
support from governments for the energy transition is resulting 
in some project deferrals and cancellations as customers 
rebalance their portfolios and reassess capital allocation decisions. 
We’re actively focusing on mitigating these risks every day, 
through the strength of our diversified global business together 
with our focus on project assurance and our ability to rapidly 
redeploy our people to match our customers’ needs. 
We expect FY2025 to be a year of moderate growth compared to 
that of FY2024 as these macroeconomic headwinds continue.
Importantly, the world remains committed to achieving net zero 
and we still see significant growth ahead as those commitments 
are met. The global commitment to net zero has created a 
prolonged cyclical upturn of activity in all our key sectors of 
energy, chemicals and resources. While there is expected to be 
peaks and troughs as the transition is delivered over time, the 
overall trend will be positive. 
2.2  Outlook
We’re targeting low double-digit EBITA growth and expect the 
underlying EBITA margin (excluding the impact of procurement) 
to be within a range of 8.0-8.5% in FY25. 
We expect the second half of FY2025 to be stronger than the first 
half as the rebalancing process proceeds during this year. We 
expect some growth on procurement volumes due to project mix 
and timing. 
As a leading global solutions provider in the markets we serve, 
we’re encouraged by the new work we continue to win as we 
support our customers across their traditional, transitional and 
sustainable work. 
2.3  Unreasonable prejudice and 
forward-looking statements 
We’ve omitted information about our internal budgets and internal 
forecasts from this review. We’ve also omitted details of our 
business strategy. This is on the basis that doing so would have 
been likely to result in unreasonable prejudice towards us.
This review contains forward-looking statements. These include 
statements of our current intentions, opinions and expectations 
about our present and future operations, events and financial 
prospects. While these statements reflect our expectations on 
the date we published this review, they’re not certain and are 
susceptible to change. We make no representation, assurance 
or guarantee as to the accuracy or likelihood of fulfilling any 
such forward-looking statements (whether express or implied) 
except as required by applicable law or the ASX Listing Rules. 
We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update 
such forward-looking statements.

3. ESG Performance
We continue to deliver on our ESG commitments. In the 
past year, we’ve evolved our human rights and modern 
slavery program of work, and for the first time, disclosed 
our full Scope 3 emissions inventory. 
We have also begun preparation for incoming 
mandatory sustainability reporting requirements 
across the jurisdictions we operate in.
Sue Brown
Executive Group Director, Sustainability
1.	We disclose to a range of voluntary reporting frameworks, such as the Global Reporting 
Initiative (GRI) and CDP. Visit our website at worley.com/sustainability  
In this section, we summarize our ESG performance. Sustainability in the work we do for our customers is 
described in section 4. Our Sustainability Basis of Preparation and ESG Databook provide a detailed view 
of our ESG approach.1
FY2024 material sustainability topics
We conduct an annual double materiality assessment to 
determine the sustainability topics material to us and our 
stakeholders. This assessment considers both how ESG issues 
affect our business (financial materiality) as well as the impact 
our work has on people and the environment (impact materiality). 
Our Sustainability Basis of Preparation provides further detail 
on our materiality approach. Our material sustainability topics 
determined through this assessment are shown against our 
business value drivers (BVDs) and the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs).

Worley Annual Report 2024

1. We’re piloting a new procurement system to mature our supply chain sustainability approach and address these emissions.
2. We are currently purchasing carbon credits that are internationally recognized (by standards such as Gold Standard and Verified Carbon Standard) for non-billable travel.
3.	We define single-use plastics as plastics that are used once, or for a short period of time, before being discarded. For us, these items refer to plastic bottles, plastic bags, 
plastic drinking straws, plastic cups and lids, plastic cutlery and crockery, plastic food containers, paper cups with plastic lining and oxo-degradable plastics.
4. Energy Productivity target was set with The Climate Group.
5.	Scope 2 emissions are disclosed as market-based Scope 2 emissions. We also disclose our location-based Scope 2 emissions, see our ESG Databook.
6.	Percentage reduction targets against FY2020 baseline for Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of 114,241 tCO2e.
7. % change in downstream scope 3 emissions excludes use of sold products, which was added for the first time in FY2024.
8.	Significant water risk is defined as areas with high or extremely high baseline water stress, according to the World Resources Institute Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool.
3.1  Environment 
PROGRESSING CLIMATE ACTION
Our Climate Change Position Statement (CCPS) sets out the 
actions we’re taking in response to climate change. See our 
Climate Change Report for detail on our progress and our 
climate-related risks and opportunities.
We are decarbonizing our business and are committed to reducing 
Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions to net zero by 2030, and Scope 3 
emissions by 2050. We plan to achieve our Scope 1 and 2 
commitments through initiatives, such as reducing energy use 
and switching to renewable energy and low carbon fuels. 
We will achieve our Scope 3 commitments through working with 
our supply chain1 to procure and produce low carbon products. 
High quality carbon offsets will be considered where there are 
no feasible alternative mitigation options. We are currently 
purchasing high quality carbon offsets for our corporate travel.2
ENERGY AND SCOPE 1 AND SCOPE 2 EMISSIONS
In FY2024, our overall energy consumption increased to 
212,990 MWh due to growth in business activity, resulting in 
increased office occupancy and vehicle usage. Overall, we’ve 
improved our energy productivity ($m revenue/GWh) by 6% 
compared to FY2023.
We’ve reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 7% since 
FY2023 by purchasing and retiring renewable energy certificates 
(or equivalent instruments) and renewable energy contracts. 
SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS
This year, we’ve disclosed our full Scope 3 emissions inventory, 
including emissions from use of sold products and end-of-life 
treatment of sold products. As a result, and due to an increase in 
our emissions from our purchased goods and services, our Scope 3 
emissions have increased. We disclose the reporting criteria for 
our Scope 3 emissions in our Sustainability Basis of Preparation.
WASTE AND WATER
WASTE MANAGEMENT AND SINGLE-USE PLASTICS
We’re continuing to phase out the provision of single-use plastic 
in all our owned and managed sites by the end of FY2025.3 
This year we’ve:
•	 trained and supported over 90 plastics champions to raise 
awareness and provide location-based tools to manage the 
phase out globally
•	 phased out single-use plastics in strategic locations, 
including London, Bulgaria, Calgary, Türkiye, New Zealand 
and South Africa
•	 developed a roadmap for our challenging locations like Saudi 
Arabia, and reduced the consumption of paper cups with plastic 
lining by 64%, equivalent to over 325,000 plastic cups.
In FY2024, we diverted waste through several initiatives, including:
•	 500 kg of wood waste diverted from incineration by donating 
it to local schools for carpentry projects from our Rosenberg 
fabrication yard in Norway
•	 introducing composting initiatives in major sites, such as our 
Edmonton modularization yard and our UK and Houston offices 
resulting in 30 tonnes of organic waste diverted across all sites. 
FRESHWATER USE
We disclose our water use across our fabrication yards and 
offices. As a services company, our water use is relatively 
low, and most of our footprint is for our offices. We review the 
sustainability features of each new office to reduce water use and 
work to choose sites that are water efficient. We also monitor our 
exposure to water scarcity risk in the regions we operate, and 
this year 41% of our locations were exposed to high or very high 
water scarcity risk.

3.2  Social
HOLISTIC SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Our commitment to health and safety is underpinned by our Life 
value, which encourages people to be curious, speak up, act 
and share lessons. Our Life approach includes a comprehensive 
safety, health and wellbeing management system. Parts of our 
business hold ISO 45001:2018 Occupational health and safety 
management system certification. We conduct third-party audits 
of our management systems and metrics.
WELLBEING
This year, we’ve taken targeted actions on our wellbeing strategy. 
We’ve:
•	 updated our policies and standards to align with ISO 45003:2021 
Psychological health and safety and work standard
•	 developed a psychosocial hazard and risk management 
approach, underpinned by targeted capability building, 
and a collective effort to build a safe to speak-up culture
•	 ran a diagnostic on our leaders and line managers in five 
key locations (Australia, Canada, UK, Germany and the 
Netherlands) to explore the challenges they face in sustaining 
their own and their team’s day-to-day wellbeing
•	 grew our mental health network by 51% and expanded to 
34 countries
•	 launched our wellbeing hub, giving people access to resources 
that support their health, relationships and environment
•	 used key weeks, like Safety Week and Mental Health Week, 
to drive learning 
•	 continued to embed our global recognition program, Appreciate. 
We’ve seen recognition in all eligible countries, with 48% of our 
people recognized with over 80,000 recognition moments.
Psychosocial risk management will remain a priority through 
FY2025 as we continue to give our people the tools and culture 
to support psychosocial wellbeing.
WE’VE MAINTAINED STRONG PHYSICAL HEALTH AND 
SAFETY PERFORMANCE IN FY2024
We had no work-related fatalities in the past year. 
This year, we received several safety awards: 
•	 a 2023 Excellence in Construction Award from the Associated 
Builders and Contractors (ABC) for the Baytown chemical 
expansion project (Americas)
•	 the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) 
Order of Distinction for Worley Field Services in the UK
•	 a Silver Workplace Safety and Health Award from the Singapore 
Ministry of Manpower, awarded to organizations with a high 
external audit and employee satisfaction score
•	 an Outstanding Safety Performance Award from Thai Oil for 
the Clean Fuel and Euro 5 Project.
When it comes to safety, health and wellbeing, we hold our 
contractors to the same high standard. We invite them to take part 
in our Life programs, such as Life conversations, Take5 for Safety, 
Lifesaving Rules and the White Hat Program for site supervisors.
PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT
BUILDING SAFE AND RESPECTFUL WORKPLACES
We listened to our people through the Be Heard Survey in 2023. 
Over 21,000 people gave feedback on what it was like to work at 
Worley and which areas they recommend for improvement. 
The overall feedback was encouraging with three key focus areas:
•	 continuing to invest in support for our frontline leaders
•	 improving systems, processes and tools
•	 strengthening career and development support.
We’ve advanced Respect at Worley, our program for building 
a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace, which focuses on 
preventing and responding to sexual harassment and harmful 
behavior in the workplace.
THE RIGHT PEOPLE, THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE
We remain carefully confident about our ability to attract and 
hire the right capabilities to deliver our strategy. Our Talent 
Acquisition teams work closely with the business, and our rebrand 
has provided strong momentum in promoting us as an attractive 
employer in the marketplace. We continue to see strong candidate 
engagement with our job advertisements and remain ahead of 
our peers in relation to key metrics.
Our retention continues to improve across the business, and over 
the past year, we have explored ways to gather regular feedback 
to help us understand our people’s experience and identify areas 
for improvement.

CONTINUING OUR FOCUS 
ON ETHICS AND INTEGRITY
We run our Code of Conduct refresher training annually. 
This reinforces our zero-tolerance approach to bribery, fraud, 
corruption and modern slavery. It also outlines:
•	 what our data privacy obligations are
•	 how to identify and report modern slavery concerns
•	 how to safeguard our information resources
•	 what we mean by diversity and inclusion
•	 how to avoid conflicts of interest, and
•	 what our gifts, entertainment and hospitality expectations are. 
We also reinforce our people’s commitment to compliance by 
training targeted groups throughout the year.
Our people (as well as former employees, their families, suppliers, 
partners and customers) can report breaches and unethical 
behavior to our Ethics Helpline. We recently expanded the 
promotion of this service into multiple languages that are most 
commonly spoken by people across our global locations. 
Our ethics helpline is available 24 hours a day, seven days 
a week. Our Whistleblower Policy encourages people to come 
forward with information about breaches and potential breaches 
of our Code of Conduct.
We have appointed a dedicated sanctions specialist to further 
strengthen our commitment to comply with international 
sanction laws. 
ELEVATING HUMAN RIGHTS 
AND ADDRESSING MODERN SLAVERY
This year, we’ve updated our Human Rights and Modern Slavery 
policies. We’ve raised awareness through communication and 
training, and established our Executive HRDEI Committee.
We’ve enhanced our Modern Slavery Program management 
and are proud to have been upgraded to an ‘A’ disclosure 
quality rating by Monash University for our FY2022 Modern 
Slavery Statement.
We have been invited to participate in the 2024 United Nations 
Global Compact Modern Slavery Community of Practice (MSCoP). 
The purpose of MSCoP is to share capabilities, address the 
risks of modern slavery, and respond to global developments in 
collaboration with other leading Australian companies.

DESCRIPTION
BENEFITS
TECHNOLOGY
PARTNER
BUILD
Chemetics – CORE-SO2TM­
Pseudo Dry Gas (PDG)
Nuclear certification
We developed the CORE-SO2TM­ process 
which produces sulphuric acid (the world’s 
largest volume industrial chemical) from 
molten sulphur and pure oxygen utilizing 
the proprietary Chemetics CORETM reactor.
We developed the subsea PDG liquid 
removal system that separates natural 
gas from condensate and water in the 
production stream.
Worley Chemetics’ has obtained the 
ASME, Section III, Div. 1 and Div. 5 N type 
mark. This achievement complements 
our existing CSA Section III, Div. 1 N-285 
nuclear certification, qualifying us to 
supply equipment for any domestic and 
international nuclear markets.
CORE-SO2TM­ is a more efficient way to 
produce sulfuric acid including for green 
fertilizer production. Using pure oxygen 
and waste elemental sulphur, CORE-SO2TM­ 
is lower cost and emits lower emissions 
than conventional technologies.
PDG enables development of gas fields 
with longer subsea tiebacks with lower 
capital cost and lower emissions (due to 
reduced energy requirements) compared 
to subsea compression.
We’ve been a preferred supplier of heat 
exchangers to the conventional nuclear 
power industry for almost 50 years, and 
through this certification, we’ll continue 
to diversify and expand our markets to 
supply specialized heat exchangers and 
pressure vessels.
BUY

OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4.4.1 SUPPORTING CUSTOMERS COMMITTED TO 
DECARBONIZATION AND SUSTAINABILITY 
Global temperatures during 2023 and into 2024 were at historic highs, 
and the frequency and severity of climate-related weather events 
continued to rise. For our customers, reducing carbon emissions 
remains a key focus, while adapting to a changing climate and 
protecting nature is becoming increasingly important.
Most of our core customers have net zero targets across Scope 1 and 2 
emissions and maturing positions on Scope 3. They are achieving 
targets primarily by introducing lower emissions technologies and 
energy supply, process changes, energy efficiency and in some cases 
significant changes to business strategies, all of which we support. 
We are a key partner for delivering such projects.
Global decarbonization efforts are continuing to evolve. For the first 
time, the COP28 Agreement calls for a transition away from fossil 
fuels in energy systems “in a just, orderly and equitable manner”. 
This transition includes increasing renewables and nuclear energy, 
focusing on reducing fugitive methane emissions and the faster 
deployment of carbon management technologies, such as CCUS.
Accordingly, we are continuing to win a significant number of early 
phase projects (feasibility and FEED) in sustainability-related work. 
We are also seeing this work progress into later phases, underscoring 
our role in assisting customers with decarbonization. This includes 
strengths in technologies particularly relevant to the more complex 
heavy process industries, such as lower carbon feedstocks and fuels. 
It also includes CCUS and related technologies such as DAC, and 
leadership to drive deployment at the scale and speed a net zero 
future requires. 
CASE STUDY
FROM AMBITION 
TO REALITY
We continue to use our 
expertise to challenge and 
influence the response to some of the world’s most 
pressing environmental issues. One of which is 
climate change.
We’ve been working with Princeton University’s 
Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment to 
examine the infrastructure challenges of achieving 
global mid-century net zero. Our FATR work focuses 
on a new paradigm in delivery practice required 
to deliver the scale and speed that achieving net 
zero requires.
FATR3, published in August 2023, focused on initial 
steps that those involved in infrastructure delivery 
could take to drive paradigm change adoption. It 
used the European Union Green Hydrogen Policy as 
an example lower carbon value chain to explore this, 
finding that without change that policy will fail, as 
the infrastructure simply cannot be built fast enough. 
Broadening this to all net zero infrastructure, the 
paper issued a challenge to all involved to take the 
steps identified to drive net zero scale and speed.
We responded to this challenge, committing to a 
number of actions, including the inaugural From 
Ambition to Reality Summit held at Princeton in 
September 2023 and stakeholder events in Dubai and 
the Hague. These information collaboration fostering 
events showed that the FATR work resonates with 
business leaders, but one thing is holding the world of 
infrastructure delivery back, and that is trust.
In 2024, our work with Princeton examined the issue 
of trust in an infrastructure delivery context.

4.4.2  EMBEDDING SUSTAINABILITY IN THE WAY 
WE DELIVER OUR WORK
Our engineering delivery systems and processes help us support 
climate and nature considerations in the way we deliver our work. 
Our Safe and Sustainable Engineering for Asset Lifecycle (SEAL) 
Framework guides us to deliver safe and sustainable engineering 
outcomes to our customers and the broader society. In particular, 
the sustainable design (SD) pillar of SEAL forms the basis for how 
we consider sustainability in our project planning and design. We have 
SD standards for each of our major engineering disciplines, covering 
sustainable design elements, such as energy sustainability, materials 
selection, equipment selection, water use, emissions and discharges, 
and social considerations.

Some of our resources for incorporating sustainability include: 
•	 our Sustainable Solutions Standard to record and quantify 
ideas using tools like our value creation database
•	 our Value Improving Practices (VIP) Standard to optimize 
energy and minimize waste
•	 our basis of design template used on project delivery 
prompts our engineers to consider implications of climate 
change on the design as part of climate adaptation.
Through our Sustainability Champions Network, we’ve helped 
embed sustainable solutions into project delivery. We have 
over 150 trained sustainability champions who help project 
teams submit ideas that improve sustainability outcomes on 
projects. In FY2024, 388 sustainable solutions were agreed 
with our customers for implementation.
Our nature roadmap was developed in FY2023 and was guided 
by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework 
(GBF). It acknowledges the relationship of our business with 
nature and recognizes that we can affect outcomes for nature 
in the energy, chemicals and resources sectors through our 
engineering delivery systems. 
Due to preparations underway for incoming mandatory 
sustainability reporting requirements, progress against our 
nature roadmap has been limited. In FY2024, our focus has 
been primarily on phasing out single-use plastics (refer to 
page 31). 
ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Our Environmental Management System is part of our 
management and knowledge systems and applies to all our 
sites and activities. It includes a series of procedures, outlined 
below, that help to manage environmental risk in the way we 
deliver work for our customers.
Through this, we manage our environmental aspects and 
impacts in a structured manner, aligned with the principles 
of the internationally recognized standard, ISO 14001:2015 
Environmental management systems. For projects involving 
field work, an environmental impact and risk assessments is 
undertaken by either the customer or Worley at the project 
planning stage to identify sensitive environmental areas that 
require protecting. This helps us form a strategy to manage 
significant risks to the environment. Our assurance system 
captures environmental incidents that are reportable to regulatory 
or statutory bodies. We use this to monitor our environmental 
performance at sites where we have operational performance 
responsibility. Refer to our ESG Databook for more information. 
We hold ISO 14001 certification at 22 of our operational sites. 
We base our decision to seek external ISO 14001 certification 
for any office or site on an assessment of business needs. 
However, our globally consistent environmental management 
system is intended to meet the requirements of ISO 14001. 
The certified offices and sites, as of 30 June 2024, are in Australia 
(Worley Power Services (7), Bulgaria (1), Brazil (3), Malaysia - 
Ranhill Worley (3), Norway (1) and the UK (7).

4.5 People 
Our people business value driver refers to energized and empowered people with the capacity and experience to deliver our purpose. 
4.5.1  PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE 
BE HEARD SURVEY
In September 2023, we launched our Be Heard pulse 
survey to:
•	 measure the experience of our people
•	 understand the baseline on our key cultural priorities
•	 ask our people about their pride in working at Worley.
21,000 people (67%) of the eligible population from 
across 44 countries completed the survey, and overall 
we had encouraging results across the three topics we 
measured. 
84% of respondents told us their experience of working 
at Worley has met or exceeded their expectations. 75% 
agreed or strongly agreed that we live our values and 
behaviors in everything we do. And 79% are proud to 
work for Worley and would recommend it to others.
Based on our overall results, there are three focus areas 
for improvement, continuing to invest in support for our 
frontline leaders, improving systems, processes and tools, 
and strengthening career and development support.
Plans and actions specific to local areas and across the 
business are well underway to address these focus areas.
INSPIRATIONAL LEADERSHIP
In FY2023 we introduced our leadership principles, which we 
continue to promote as the core requirement of our leaders.
Our leadership principles are: 1) create meaning, 2) embrace 
possibility and 3) deliver what matters.
In FY2024, we deepened this work by providing a series of 
Masterclasses connected to the leadership principles and 
underlying habits. Over 10,000 employees attended 24 sessions, 
with speakers covering topics such as storytelling, finding your 
purpose and leading through disruption.
In FY2023, we piloted a technology that provided coaching nudges 
to leaders. As a result, we’ve now expanded the program to a 
further 815 leaders across our business in FY2024. These prompts 
combine behavioral-science insights with the latest technology to 
create a new kind of coaching experience.
We continue to invest in enhancing the capability of our frontline 
leaders as we recognize how critical they are in the overall 
experience of our people. In FY2024, we piloted our frontline 
leadership program, STEP. Aligned to Worley Leadership Principles, 
this program is designed to prepare frontline leaders for their 
everyday leadership challenges and give them the confidence, 
habits and practices they need to build relationships and succeed in 
a frontline leadership role.

EVERYDAY LEARNING
Since launching our eLearning platform, completion of 
professional development has increased fourfold. The new 
platform integrates Worley’s LMS with an extensive curated 
catalogue from a leading edge eLearning provider. 
In the last year, over 35,000 people have completed over 
260,000 courses in our LMS, and we’re working hard to 
help them develop good learning habits, supporting their 
professional development and our continued growth. 
A key foundation of our learning strategy is to increase access 
to self-directed learning. This ensures wherever our people work 
and whatever their role, they can develop. Learning analytics 
provide us clear information on levels of engagement and focus 
areas to increase participation.
To complement the externally created content we host on our 
LMS, we’ve strengthened our portfolio of bespoke learning content 
developed by our own world-class subject matter experts. 
We held our first learning week, Thrive ’24, in late February 2024. 
Over 10,000 people joined virtual events and with all sessions 
recorded, many more people are continuing to benefit from 
the content.
DIGITAL AND DATA INFORMED 
Our People Digital Strategy enables the right digital experiences 
for our people while providing accurate data for our teams and 
leaders. Our continued emphasis on the availability and quality 
of people data will help drive productivity while giving our leaders 
the data they need to make key people decisions. For example, 
measurable improvements in diversity and inclusion.
4.5.2  DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION
In late 2023, we launched our significantly re-focused DEI 
Strategy deliberately adding Equity to our approach. This reflects 
the broadening and deepening of our DEI program. The work 
recognizes the breadth of diversity characteristics and the 
additional steps required to ensure our culture is inclusive of 
everyone, regardless of their personal circumstances.
RESPECTFUL WORKPLACES
We’ve advanced our program for building a safe, respectful and 
inclusive workplace for all our people. Respect at Worley is our 
group-wide program focused on preventing and responding to 
sexual harassment and harmful behavior in the workplace. In 
FY2024, we:
•	 developed our group-wide Respectful Workplace Behavior 
Policy, which sets out expectations and guidance on creating 
a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace
•	 implemented dedicated training for our leaders and people 
managers to upskill them on their role in modelling respectful 
behaviors and preventing harm
•	 launched training for all our people to build their 
understanding of the behaviors we expect and the steps 
they can take as upstanders
•	 enhanced leadership oversight and governance of our Respect 
at Worley Program through our Human Rights and Diversity, 
Equity and Inclusion Committee 
•	 developed an enhanced trauma-informed and people-centered 
process for responding to workplace sexual harassment
•	 established specialist workshops for our Board, Group 
Executive, People and Compliance teams
•	 strengthened how we capture and report on sexual harassment 
and other harmful behaviors
•	 established group-wide communications to promote awareness 
and understanding of our Respect at Worley Program.
WOMEN IN SENIOR LEADERSHIP
We continue to implement a program of evidence-based activities 
to tackle the systemic barriers which limit the representation and 
inclusion of women, at all levels. We are intentionally focused 
on the actions globally recognized to be the most effective.1 
In FY2024 we:
•	 increased accountability: our senior leaders are now 
accountable for their hiring and promotion decisions through 
regular tracking
•	 implemented specific incentives: we have disaggregated our 
group level targets into individualized targets for our senior 
team and tied these to remuneration
•	 increased support: we have provided leadership playbooks on 
inclusive hiring and inclusive workplaces to our leaders and 
decision makers
•	 improved consistency: we’re developing new hiring standards 
to ensure a consistent, research-based approach to tackling the 
fairness of any hiring process. 
As is the case for many organizations, this requires significant 
change, but we are pleased to see incremental improvements 
throughout FY2024.

GENDER
See our ESG performance summary on page 32 for progress on 
our gender targets.
RACE AND ETHNICITY
We recently launched our Race and Ethnicity Program. 
The foundational stages of this program are focused on activities 
that educate, raise awareness and increase inclusive leadership 
capability. This includes race and ethnicity fluency coaching for 
leadership teams within the Americas and the UK, launching an 
external expert speaker series and expanding our playbooks to 
include race and ethnicity issues. 
LOCAL AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
We’re committed to increasing the participation of local and 
Indigenous Peoples into our workforce and that of our customers 
and supply chains. Across our regions, we have established 
specialized capacity building programs, including training facilities 
to enhance local and Indigenous participation.
An example includes our Worley Apprenticeship Academy training 
facility at the Stratos DAC site in West Texas. Registered with 
the United States Department of Labor, the program offers 
standardized workforce development training for craft occupations. 
We take a business and location-specific approach to 
reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples (see page 54).
DISABILITY AND NEURODIVERSITY
Raising awareness of accessibility and increasing proactive 
inclusion is essential to our ability to attract, engage and retain 
talented people with disability and people with neurodiversity. 
In January 2024 we launched our Neurodiversity Expert Insights 
series. These monthly seminars are open to everyone and focus 
on a different topic each month. To date, topics have included 
Neurodiversity 101, Neurodiversity in children, Neurodiversity 
and Intersectionality. Future topics will include Leadership and 
Neurodiversity and Managing your own neurodivergence.
PEOPLE NETWORK GROUPS (PNG)
We’ve established a new model for our four global PNGs (Kuumba, 
Pride, Women of Worley and All Abilities) to create a consistent 
connection, both across and within PNGs, and to bring greater 
clarity to their purpose. 
As part of maturing our approach to DEI, we have reviewed our 
global PNGs and identified opportunities to enhance their purpose, 
structure and governance. We’re:
•	 refining the purpose of each PNG to increase a sense of 
belonging for our under-represented colleagues
•	 tightening the definition, structure and roles within each 
of the PNGs for greater consistency
•	 enhancing support by assigning a senior mentor from 
within the business to each of our four global PNGs.

4.6.2 STRONG CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS
We have invested in establishing a mature, structured approach 
to our strategic account management. Keeping us close to 
the customers who are driving investment in our sectors. 
Our approach is focused on understanding our customers’ 
strategic direction and growth ambitions as well as their most 
pressing challenges. 
Importantly, we monitor where our customers are entering 
and exiting sector or geographic markets, investing in new 
technologies and progressing energy transition and wider 
sustainability priorities. All critical aspects to ensuring we put 
ourselves in the best position to respond to the evolving needs 
of customers. It also sees us collaborating with our customers in 
trusted partnerships to find new ways of working. 
A key component of our program is nurturing relationships at 
multiple levels, including executive engagement, project delivery, 
and sales and business development. Customer feedback is also 
important, and our approach is multi-layered. Our assurance 
function leads project feedback reviews. These focus on collecting 
feedback and monitoring ongoing satisfaction at an individual 
project level. At an account relationship level, we seek customer 
feedback through participating in strategic reviews with customers 
at senior levels, as well as through executive, operational and 
business development engagement. Our project feedback review 
approach meets Worley’s management and knowledge systems 
requirements, which are ISO 9001 certified.
4.6.3 ETHICS AND INTEGRITY
OUR CUSTOMERS
All customers are systematically evaluated by our compliance 
team as part of our due diligence process. Findings are logged 
into our internal sales system. To make our due diligence more 
effective, we use third-party research tools and external analysts 
when appropriate. 
Our sales and compliance teams maintain centralized 
communication to quickly identify and address any potential 
issues. We’ve also incorporated location-based alerts that notify 
our sales team of any compliance concerns. This allows us to offer 
immediate guidance and support. 
When we encounter red flags related to bribery, corruption, 
human rights, sanctions, serious negative media or modern 
slavery, we escalate the matter to senior management. We 
then obtain specific approvals before proceeding with the 
bid submission. We also perform annual due diligence checks for 
existing customers (see page 34).
Our RBA Standard provides a framework to consider unacceptable 
referred reputation risk and credit risk early in our sales and bid 
processes. We embed the RBA’s decision-making principles into 
our sales and risk management processes. Projects of high risk 
(including ESG risks) are escalated to our Group Executive for 
decision-making.
OUR SUPPLIERS
Responding to increased supply chain risk and having received 
feedback and recommendations from our stakeholders, we 
updated our Supply Chain Code of Conduct. This outlines our 
expectations for our suppliers, and we make it readily available 
to them. It covers a range of sustainability-related topics of 
importance to us (such as ethical, safety, governance and 
environmental performance). We remain accountable to the 
same standards that we expect from our suppliers.

4.6.4  HUMAN RIGHTS AND MODERN SLAVERY 
Respecting, protecting and promoting human rights is 
fundamental to delivering a more sustainable world. 
Our commitment to human rights encompasses our people, those 
we partner with, including our customers, our supply chain and 
the communities in which we operate.
We support the protection of international human rights, including 
the International Bill of Human Rights and the core conventions of 
the International Labor Organization (ILO). Our business practices 
are guided by the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business 
and Human Rights (UNGPs).
As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) 
and active members of Building Responsibly, we adhere to a 
voluntary set of principles that demonstrate our commitment 
to respecting human rights and prioritizing the safety, wellbeing 
and welfare of people.
HUMAN RIGHTS IN PRACTICE
Our business and human rights in practice framework translates the UN guiding principles into action and guides our program of work. 
Our key achievements for FY2024 across each phase of our framework are shown below.
See our latest Modern Slavery Statement, available on our Corporate Governance site, for further detail on our 
program of work.
Our compliance teams screen suppliers for any risks of bribery, 
corruption, modern slavery, human rights and sanctions. They 
report negative findings to the procurement teams, who then 
work with the supplier to mitigate the risk before proceeding. 
We’ve also updated our supplier pre-qualification questionnaire 
to include ESG-related criteria.
OUR JOINT VENTURES
Through our Joint Venture Governance Standard, we extend 
our commitment to high standards of governance to joint 
ventures. These include due diligence, consultation and 
approval requirements, policies and procedures and the ongoing 
requirements for governance during the operating phase of the 
joint venture. We require all our joint ventures to complete a risk 
and compliance checklist annually.

SHARED VALUE
THE WORLEY FOUNDATION
For more than a decade, the Worley Foundation has provided 
a platform to make meaningful community change. Each year, 
funding is allocated for Worley Foundation initiatives, which are 
overseen by the Worley Foundation Council. All projects put 
forward are nominated by our people. This year, a record 30 
projects were funded by the Worley Foundation, including 22 new 
projects and eight continuing as part of multi-year agreements.
In Colombia, we’ve been supporting the RedInnCol 
initiative, a registered non-profit that’s working towards 
reimagining public education. 
Since the Foundation’s first involvement in 2021, we’ve 
helped over 250 students across Colombia access tools 
that help them improve their STEM skills.

RECONCILIATION
We recognize and respect the Indigenous Peoples in the 
communities we operate in. Through our Indigenous Peoples 
Engagement Policy, we seek to implement engagement and 
consultation processes. We do this to build relationships with 
local communities, engage local resources and support customer-
community values and commitments. 
In FY2024, Reconciliation Australia approved our Innovate 
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which states how we will 
increase First Nations2 engagement and participation. To achieve 
this we’ve:
•	 provided ongoing support to the RAP Working Group and RAP 
champions to drive delivery and implement the Innovate RAP
•	 targeted First Nations career and graduate programs including 
a recruitment drive for the First Nations Apprenticeship 
Program with Worley Power Services 
•	 provided ongoing training and support to our sales, contracts, 
procurement and project teams to identify First Nations 
suppliers and grow Indigenous participation on projects 
•	 participated in the ongoing research of the Minderoo 
Foundations’ Woort Koorliny: Australian Indigenous 
Employment Index 2022 National Report, which will 
measure our progress from 2022 to 2024.
In Canada, we aim to maximize Indigenous involvement, uphold 
ethical business commitments to our local communities and 
create true shared value through meaningful collaboration and 
business partnerships. We are active members of the Canadian 
Council for Indigenous Businesses’ Progressive Aboriginal 
Relations Certification, and we’re currently at the ‘Committed’ 
level. We’ve created multiple partnerships with Indigenous 
communities in Alberta and the Northwest Territories of Canada, 
through our environmental consulting work. Including:
•	 Nu Nenne Advisian Environmental (NAE) with Cold Lake 
First Nation 
•	 Desika with Mikisew Cree First Nation and Fort McKay 
First Nation 
•	 TRS Advisian with Norman Wells Land Corporation and 
 Reclamation Services. 
DISTRIBUTION OF ECONOMIC VALUE
This year we distributed $11,547 million in payments that flowed 
through to our economy and communities1. 
As a solutions provider to the energy, chemicals and resources 
sectors, we create significant indirect economic impact. We 
collaborate with our customers and peers to develop critical 
infrastructure, industry standards and opportunities to develop 
the economy and skills of the communities in which we operate. 
We contribute our global technical and project delivery expertise 
to relevant governments and industry groups to help develop 
industry standards. There is also an indirect economic benefit 
through our people’s spending in the local economy. We make tax 
contributions globally and disclose these publicly. See our 
tax contribution report and ESG Databook for more information.

5. Risk management 
5.1  Our approach to risk 
management 
Our ability to create and protect value is underpinned by our 
approach to risk management and our culture of encouraging 
transparent communications. This involves visible leadership, 
identifying the material risks we face and making informed 
decisions that align with our ambition and values.
Our Board sets our risk appetite and considers the amount 
and type of risk we’re prepared to pursue, retain and take. We 
operationalize this within our processes and procedures. We also 
take a systematic and tailored approach to risk activities. The 
Board requires risk management performance to be monitored, 
reviewed and reported throughout Worley. 
5.2  Our risk management and 
internal controls framework 
Our risk management and internal controls framework empowers 
our people to manage uncertainty. We align with the 
ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management – Guidelines Principles and 
Framework, and we frame our roles and responsibilities around 
the Institute of Internal Auditors’ Three Lines Model. 
This provides a strong platform for managing all risks, 
both opportunities and threats. This also includes defining 
accountability and managing internal controls that are aligned 
in pursuit of our strategic objectives. The illustration below 
highlights our framework and key responsibilities.

5.3  Our risk management process 
The  Framework1 guides our principal (material) risk 
reporting, which discloses risks that may substantively 
affect our ability to create value. The Board Audit and Risk 
Committee and Group Executive regularly meet to review 
our principal risks, our performance and the effectiveness of 
our controls. They also monitor key risk indicators to assess 
whether operations are working within our risk appetite. 
RISK IDENTIFICATION 
We adopt a top-down and bottom-up approach to identifying 
risks. We review our risks from the perspective of their effect 
on our strategic objectives and our ability to realize them. 
We also work with external and internal stakeholders across:
•	 existing and prospective customer engagements
•	 town hall sessions and surveys
•	 investor presentations and roadshows
•	 business partner and joint venture meetings
•	 industry, regulator and policy maker interactions. 
RISK EVALUATION AND PRIORITIZATION 
We conduct assessments and workshops to evaluate and 
prioritize risks, including emerging risks which may present 
us with medium to long-term exposure. We use qualitative 
and quantitative methods to define risk consequences. 
We view consequences across a spectrum of possible 
financial and non-financial impacts, such as occupational 
health and safety, operational, strategic, reputational and 
regulatory. To identify our most significant risks, we use our 
Group risk matrix and consider a combination of likelihood 
and consequence. 
We document risks in registers to support communication 
and management. Our risk activities are performed at 
all levels within the Group, from the Board to business 
operations and project delivery. Our risk management 
framework enables us to share significant risks to ensure 
appropriate management and Board oversight.
RISK DISCLOSURE AND REPORTING 
We present our risks as opportunities and threats. Some of 
these have heightened over the past 12 months, predominantly 
due to macro trends. Impacts from these trends can be direct 
or indirect, as our customers might have greater exposure 
than us in certain instances. Global trends include geopolitical 
tensions, inflation and supply chain disruption, and attraction 
and retention of talent. To address these uncertainties, we 
continue to strengthen our risk management framework and 
practices. The following pages disclose our principal enterprise 
opportunities and threats. 
1.	The  Framework is governed by the IFRS Foundation. The IFRS 
Foundation is a not-for-profit, public interest organization established to 
develop high quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted 
accounting and sustainability disclosure standards.

Worley Annual Report 2024

5.4  Our principal opportunities and threats 
Thematic macro trends and our material sustainability issues give rise to uncertainty that has potential to impact our business and 
provide opportunities to achieve our strategic objectives. Each year, we identify threats and opportunities and assess their impact over 
the short, medium, and long term, to prioritize and ensure the timely management of these risks.

Nature
Context and description
This covers our ability to manage the physical, transitional and systemic risks nature poses to our business and 
the industries we serve. Issues of biodiversity loss, pollution (waste) and resource over-extraction (e.g. water) 
are combining, threatening the natural systems and ecosystem services they provide. 
This poses risks to our business and the ecosystems we operate in. It could lead to acute and chronic events 
that impact our people, operations and supply chains. These include restricted site access and the inability to 
conduct day-to-day business. Our reputation could be compromised due to our involvement in certain projects 
that might significantly degrade natural capital.

How we are managing this threat
Our risk management system helps us to identify and act on nature-related risks and opportunities. 
The following supports our efforts: 
•	 we have a nature road map, which seeks positive outcomes for nature (see page 47)
•	 we are committed to phase out providing single-use plastics at our owned and managed offices by the end 
of FY2025 (see page 31 for our progress)
•	 we monitor the water scarcity risk for our operations, using the World Resources Institute Aqueduct Tool 
(see page 31)
•	 we review developments and align with the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related 
Financial Disclosures (TNFD) in future reporting.

ESG performance and access to capital
Context and description
This covers our ability to raise ESG-linked capital effectively through demonstrating our ESG performance. 
As our customers and the rest of the world invest in decarbonization, our portfolio is shifting towards a larger 
component of sustainability related work: 42% of aggregated revenue for FY2023 and 52% for FY2024. This 
shift, together with our own ESG and sustainability targets, allows us to access capital markets and credit 
investors where the cost of capital is typically reduced. The ESG performance criteria linked to this source of 
capital has the potential to evolve and tighten.
If we don’t deliver on our ESG commitments in line with our purpose and ambition, and with evolving 
capital-linked ESG targets, our ability to access future ESG-linked capital could be compromised.

(Group or consolidated entity) at the end of the year ended 30 June 2024.
Directors’ message
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
We’ve set out details of our operations and activities in the 
Operating and financial review, from page 26. The Operating 
and Financial Review is incorporated into, and forms part of, 
this report.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
In the opinion of the Directors, there were no significant changes 
in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the 
financial year.
MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF 
FINANCIAL YEAR
Since the end of the financial year, the directors have resolved 
to pay a final dividend of 25 cents per fully paid ordinary share. 
This includes exchangeable shares, unfranked (2023: 25 cents 
per share). In line with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities 
and Contingent Assets, the aggregate amount of the proposed 
final dividend of $132 million isn’t recognized as a liability as at 
30 June 2024.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2024 
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
•	 the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

shares outstanding during the financial year (as set out in note 17 
to the financial statements).

Aggregated revenue was $11,616 million. This is an increase 
of 6% on the previous financial year. Underlying EBITA of 
$751 million was up 18% from the last financial year’s result 
of $635 million. 
The underlying EBITA margin on aggregated revenue for the 
Group, increased to 6.5% compared with 5.8% in 2023. After 
tax, the members of Worley Limited earned an underlying 
profit5 margin on aggregated revenue of 3.6%, compared with 
margin of 3.2% in 2023.
The underlying effective tax rate (underlying NPATA) increased to 
33.6% from 32.1% in 2023, driven mainly by our mix of foreign 
earnings as well as an increase in certain non-deductible costs 
under US tax law. 

The Group increased its cash position to $554 million 
(2023: $436 million) with gearing (net debt/ net debt plus 
total equity) at financial year end of 21.8% (2023: 24.6%).
Operating cash inflow for the period was $682 million, 
compared with $260 million in 2023. Net cash outflow from 
investing activities was $12 million (2023: inflow of $65 million).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
We’ve set out the likely developments in our operations in 
future financial years, and the expected outlook of those 
operations in Context and strategy on page 12.
ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
In line with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191, which applies to Worley Limited, 
we’ve rounded off amounts to the nearest million dollars, unless 
we state otherwise. We’ve represented amounts under $500,000 
that we’ve rounded down with a 0.0.
1.	Aggregated revenue is defined as statutory revenue and other income plus the share of revenue from associates, less procurement revenue at nil margin and 
interest income. The Directors of Worley Limited believe the disclosure of the relevant share of revenue from associates provides extra information about the 
financial performance of Worley Limited Group.
2.	The Directors closely monitor the operating results of the business segments to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. 
Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
3.	Excluding global support-related restructuring costs (refer to note 3(E) to the financial statements).
4.	Strategic costs comprise costs for strategic hires and agile team development in targeted sustainability growth areas, digital enablement, internal training 
and development, and strategic partnerships creation and building to deliver sustainable solutions at scale.
5.	The Directors consider underlying profit information important to understand the sustainable performance of the Company by excluding selected significant 
items and amortization on acquired intangible assets.

Corporate governance statement
You can access the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement 
for the year ended 30 June 2024 on the corporate governance 
page in the investor relations section of our website.
Non-audit services
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), our external auditor, performed 
non-audit services in addition to its statutory audit duties. The 
total fees for these non-audit services amounted to $0.97m.
The Board has a policy governing the provision of non-audit 
services by the auditor. The Audit and Risk Committee has 
reviewed the total non-audit services for the period provided 
by PwC. The Board has accepted the recommendation from 
the Audit and Risk Committee that the total non-audit services 
was compatible with the general standard of independence for 
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Act). 
The Directors are satisfied that the non-audit services the 
auditor provided did not compromise the auditor independence 
requirements of the Act for the following reasons:
•	 the Audit and Risk Committee reviewed all non-audit services 
to make sure they did not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor
•	 none of the services undermine the general principles 
relating to auditor independence in Accounting Professionals 
and Ethical Standards (APES) 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants.
This includes:
•	 not reviewing and auditing the auditor’s own work
•	 not acting in a management or decision-making capacity
for the Group
•	 not acting as advocate for the Group
•	 not 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, we indemnify each current 
and former officer of the Group against certain liabilities and costs 
they might incur as an officer of the Group.
We also indemnify each current and former officer of the Group 
against certain liabilities and costs they might incur by acting as 
an officer of another body corporate at the Company’s request.
This indemnity does not cover any liabilities or costs that we’re 
prohibited from indemnifying under the Act.
We’ve also entered into deeds of access, indemnity and insurance 
with certain officers of the Group. Under those deeds, we agree 
(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
•	 give officers access to Board papers.
We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy that, 
subject to certain exceptions, covers former and current officers 
of the Group. During the financial year, we paid insurance 
premiums to insure those officers. The insurance contracts 
prohibit us from disclosing the amounts of the premiums we paid 
and the nature of the liability covered.
Environmental regulation
The majority of our customers are responsible for obtaining 
environmental licenses for their projects and assets. We typically 
help customers, who own or operate plant and equipment or have 
obligations over natural resources, to manage their environmental 
licenses and responsibilities.
We do have environmental responsibilities, which relate to 
complying with environmental controls and exercising reasonable 
care and skill in our design, construction management, operation 
and supervising activities. We manage the risks associated 
with environmental issues through our risk management and 
assurance systems.
We comply with all environmental regulations that apply to us 
and our work. The Company confirms, for the purposes of Section 
299(1)(f) of the Act, that it is not aware of any environmental 
regulations under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia, or 
of a state or territory of Australia that the Group has breached.
Board governance
 
 
As lead auditor for the audit of Worley Limited for the year ended 30 June 2024, I declare that to the 
best of my knowledge and belief, there have been:  
(a) 
no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in 
relation to the audit; and 
(b) 
no contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit. 
This declaration is in respect of Worley Limited and the entities it controlled during the period.

Dear shareholders
On behalf of the Board of Directors, welcome to our remuneration 
report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024.
Our ambition is to be recognized globally as a leader in 
sustainability solutions. This year’s remuneration outcomes 
reflect our progress and continued strong performance.
WE’RE COMPETING IN GLOBAL TALENT MARKETS
Over 49,700 Worley people are at the center of what we do. 
We operate thousands of projects in over 45 countries, and 
over 90% of our revenue is generated outside of Australia. 
Attracting, motivating and retaining the right talent is critical 
to delivering our strategy. Global talent markets continue 
to be competitive and it remains crucial that we reward and 
recognize our people appropriately. 
CULTURE AND GOVERNANCE
Our remuneration and governance framework supports our 
people strategy. It drives our performance and holds our leaders 
accountable for living our values, building our culture and keeping 
our people safe. 
We’re committed to environmental, social and governance 
(ESG) principles, with multiple ESG measures, including safety, 
embedded in our Short-Term Incentive (STI) plan. 
Our executives must achieve individual Key Performance Indicators 
(KPIs) that measure performance and leadership in their areas of 
responsibility and demonstrate our values and behaviors.
Our Board has discretion over final remuneration outcomes and 
reviews our results to make sure payouts are appropriate, 
reflect performance in line with our values and strategy and 
avoid unintended remuneration outcomes.
Emma Stein 
Chair, People and Remuneration Committee
Our executive remuneration outcomes 
reflect consistent growth and value creation 
for our customers and shareholders. We are 
focused on delivering sustainable change 
into the future.

Worley Annual Report 2024
OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
Despite headwinds this year, we’ve delivered strong growth in 
revenue, earnings and margins for three years in a row. Our 
disciplined strategy execution has delivered a strong FY2024 cash 
result and earnings growth at a higher rate than revenue. Despite 
volatility in Worley’s share price, our dividend payments have 
remained consistent over the past four years. We also performed 
strongly against our FY2024 STI performance measures. 
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE (STI)
Our FY2024 business scorecard results include: 
•	 an underlying Net Profit After Tax and excluding 
Amortization (NPATA) result of $416 million, which is 
19.5% growth on FY2023
•	 our cash conversion ratio was at the top of our target range
•	 strong safety outcomes. Our Serious Case Frequency Rate 
(SCFR) was 0.03, holding steady on FY2023
•	 ongoing reductions in net Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon 
emissions. We’re on track to meet our FY2025 reduction targets
•	 good progress in diversity and inclusion. We increased women 
senior leaders to 17.7%, compared to 16.3% in FY2023 
•	 exceeding our target for sales in sustainability-related work, 
measured through gross margin sold. 
Our executives delivered strong leadership outcomes, creating 
value for our customers. This is reflected in our STI payouts 
of 83% of maximum for the CEO and between 76% and 
83% of maximum for other Executive KMP. For more detail, 
see section 3.3.
The Board considers the FY2024 STI outcomes to be a fair and 
reasonable reflection of executive performance and the results 
delivered for shareholders. They did not exercise any discretion 
to adjust incentive outcomes, including in relation to Ecuador.
EQUITY OUTCOMES
The performance outcome for our FY2023 Deferred Equity 
Plan (DEP) was $1,465 million in gross margin delivered from 
sustainability-related work, 4.6% above the $1,400 million target 
and representing growth of 72% over two years. The Board 
approved a vesting outcome of 100%.
Our FY2021 Long-Term Incentive (LTI) grant consisted of two 
equal tranches subject to relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) 
and earnings per share (EPS) growth, both measured over four 
years. The Board determined that 43.4% of TSR rights will vest. 
EPS compound annual growth was below threshold over the 
performance period. As such, no EPS rights will vest. The overall 
vesting outcome for grant was therefore 21.7%. See section 3.5 
for more detail.
REMUNERATION CHANGES THIS YEAR
The Board reviews the CEO’s remuneration annually. After 
careful consideration of the external market data, and the CEO’s 
performance, skills and experience, the Board decided to make 
the following changes. 
The Board increased Mr Ashton’s fixed remuneration by 5% 
from 1 December 2023, and his maximum STI opportunity 
was increased from 150% to 172.5% of fixed remuneration. 
For FY2025, his maximum equity targets will increase to 100% 
of fixed remuneration for DEP and 175% for LTI. Following this 
change, 82% of his remuneration will be subject to achieving 
performance hurdles and 50% of his maximum opportunity will 
be delivered in equity, creating strong shareholder alignment over 
the longer term.
We benchmarked Mr Ashton’s remuneration considering the size, 
nature and complexity of our business, and the global markets 
we compete in. These changes were necessary to move the 
CEO’s remuneration closer to an internationally competitive 
remuneration package with a higher weighting towards equity. 
We discuss this further in section 3.1.
We also reviewed remuneration for our other Executive KMP 
roles this year, with increases to fixed remuneration, as detailed 
in section 3.2.
LOOKING AHEAD TO FY2025
Attracting and retaining the right talent remains critical to 
delivering our strategy. With this in mind, we reviewed the 
executive remuneration framework during FY2024 and plan 
to make changes in FY2025. We will change the executive 
remuneration mix to increase the at risk variable remuneration 
components. For our LTI plan, we will change our TSR comparator 
group and increase our EPS targets. These changes are further 
detailed in section 5.2. 
The Board is satisfied that the changes to executive remuneration 
and our framework have been well considered and reward our 
executives competitively. They’re aligned with the interests of 
our shareholders in driving long-term growth and rewarding 
high performance.
There were no changes to Non-Executive Director fees in FY2024, 
which were last changed in July 2019.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Our results reflect the dedication and hard work of all of our 
talented people. We’re focused on creating value for all our 
stakeholders: customers, shareholders, partners and communities. 
Our approach to executive remuneration intentionally aligns it 
with performance and ensures significant components are at risk.
I look forward to ongoing engagement with our shareholders 
and welcome your feedback.

3.  FY2024 remuneration outcomes
3.1  CEO REMUNERATION CHANGES IN FY2024
The Board reviews Mr Ashton’s fixed and total remuneration annually against external benchmark data. After careful consideration of 
the market data and the CEO’s performance, contribution, skills, knowledge and experience, the Board decided to make the following 
remuneration changes.
Effective 1 December 2023, we increased Mr Ashton’s fixed remuneration by 5% to US$1.47 million. His STI target opportunity increased 
from 100% to 115% of fixed remuneration, and his maximum STI opportunity increased from 150% to 172.5%. There was no change 
to his FY2024 DEP and LTI grants, however, these will change from FY2025 to a maximum of 100% of fixed remuneration for DEP and 
175% for LTI.
Our benchmarking approach considers the size, nature and complexity of our business and the global markets we operate in. 
Over 90% of our revenue is generated outside of Australia and our key competitors are not ASX-listed companies. Mr Ashton is 
located in the United States, a key strategic location for Worley. For these reasons, we benchmark his remuneration against a range 
of comparator groups. Further detail on our benchmarking approach is in section 6.1.
As a result of this increase, 82% of the CEO’s total remuneration will be delivered as variable remuneration. Additionally, 50% of 
his maximum remuneration opportunity will be delivered in equity under the DEP and LTI plans, increasing alignment with 
shareholder interests. 
We made these changes to move the CEO’s remuneration to an internationally competitive remuneration package, reflective of the 
global markets we operate and compete for talent in.
3.2  OTHER EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION CHANGES IN FY2024
We reviewed the remuneration of our other Executive KMP roles against benchmark data relevant to where each executive is based. 
From 1 July 2023, we increased Mr O’Rourke’s fixed pay by 5%, to AU$1,102,500. We also increased Mr Brantley’s fixed remuneration 
by 10% to US$591,800 and Mr Trueman’s fixed remuneration by 10% to US$591,800. These increases were the first for these 
executives in their current roles. Their incentive targets and maximum opportunities remained the same in FY2024. 
We’ll change the executive remuneration mix in FY2025 as part of the executive remuneration framework review. See section 6.1 
for further information on our benchmarking approach and section 5 for the changes to the executive remuneration framework 
planned for FY2025.

Measure
Definition and adjustments
Performance and comments
Financial
Underlying NPATA
Net profit after tax excluding post tax impact of 
amortization of intangible assets acquired through 
business combinations. Underlying means profit 
after adjusting for significant/non-operational 
items not considered part of our performance. 
We used underlying NPATA for remuneration 
purposes, adjusting for the impact of actual currency 
movements compared to budget. 
$416m underlying NPATA
This exceeded our target (on a constant currency 
basis) and represents growth of 19.5% from 
FY2023. Our disciplined strategy execution has 
delivered a strong result.
Cash conversion ratio 
Cash conversion ratio measures underlying operating 
cash before interest and tax over underlying group 
EBITA. The FY2024 outcome has been normalized 
to exclude multi-year prepayments consistent with 
FY2023, advanced billings and unanticipated early 
payments. Further adjustments have been applied to 
the normalized CCR of 99% to take into account last 
minute cash drive over-delivery.
95% adjusted normalized cash conversion ratio
This is at the top of our target range.
Environment, social and governance (ESG)
Carbon emissions
Measured as reduction of net Scope 1 and Scope 2 
tons of carbon emitted. 
For further information, see page 31.
38,360t CO2e net Scope 1 and 2 
carbon emissions
This is a reduction of 7% from FY2023 and 
exceeded our reduction target reduction of 
39,500t CO2e. This was due to purchasing 
and retiring renewable energy certificates 
(or equivalent instruments) and renewable 
energy contracts.
Safety
Measured as a Serious Case Frequency Rate (SCFR). 
A serious case is a fatality or permanent disabling 
injury or illness, or an event with the potential to 
result in a fatality or a permanent disabling injury 
or illness. 
The frequency rate is based on the number of 
cases per 200,000 hours worked and is a 12 month 
rolling average.
0.03 SCFR 
This held steady on FY2023.
% of women Senior Leaders
We use our Organizational Role Framework to 
define senior leader roles. This includes our Group 
Executive and other managers who have leadership 
accountabilities for business units (profit and loss) 
and functions.
17.7% of senior leader roles held by women
This increased by 1.4pp compared to FY2023. 
We exceeded our target for the first time.
% of women hired in
total global graduates
Target a minimum of 57% women hires to support 
gender diversity in our workforce. We set a very 
challenging target to increase the focus on building 
a gender diverse pipeline into leadership roles.
56% women graduate hires
This was slightly below our target but 
a significant increase of 8pp on FY2023.

3.3.3.  BOARD DISCRETION REGARDING STI OUTCOMES
Each year, the Board reviews Executive reward outcomes to make sure they align with:
•	 business and individual performance
•	 shareholder experience
•	 relativity with the broader employee population and market
•	 community expectations.
The Board determines whether any discretion is warranted and may apply upward or downward discretion to the STI business scorecard 
outcome which impacts all Group Executive members and also to individual outcomes. 
For FY2024, the Board gave specific consideration to the historical Ecuador arbitration matter and the reputational impact this had in 
the current year. The Board took into account that the issue was significant but historical, Worley did not breach any anti-corruption or 
bribery laws, and the impact on Worley’s brand and reputation was contained. The executive leadership team was able to mitigate the 
impact of the issue to deliver a prompt resolution, minimizing the ongoing effect on the business. Importantly, the events do not reflect 
current robust ethical business practices and standards of behavior that are upheld by the existing leadership of Worley. Accordingly, the 
Board decided not to apply discretion to the business scorecard.
The Board believes the business scorecard assessment for FY2024 is a fair and accurate reflection of overall performance and has not 
applied discretion to payment outcomes.
3.3.4.  STI INDIVIDUAL SCORECARDS
Individual scorecards comprise financial, ESG and strategic KPIs aligned with the executive’s area of accountability, personal leadership 
and expected behaviors. KPIs include quantitative and qualitative measures. We differentiate these from business scorecard targets 
to avoid rewarding executives twice for the same outcomes. The Board assesses performance, considering outcomes and evidence of 
behaviors, and determines individual scorecard modifiers. 
Below is a summary of the individual scorecard assessment for the CEO.
CEO key performance comments
Chris Ashton continues to effectively lead Worley to deliver our ambition, execute our strategy and achieve strong business outcomes against an 
uncertain global backdrop.
Through an eventful year, Chris has consistently delivered strong and unwavering leadership. His ability to steer the business through headwinds 
and capitalize on opportunities has been exceptional, leading to outstanding results.
Key highlights for FY2024 are:
•	 delivered strong growth in revenue, earnings and margins for the third consecutive year:
•	 aggregated revenue increased by 6% to 11.6 billion 
•	 52% of aggregated revenue is for sustainability-related work, up 10pp on FY2023
•	 underlying EBITA increased by 18% to 751 million
•	 Successfully continued our culture journey including 
•	 a significantly positive response from our people in the ‘Be heard’ listening survey on their experience at Worley
•	 progress in diversity, equity and inclusion outcomes, particularly the representation of women
•	 global implementation of psycho-social programs including Respect @ Work, mental health and wellbeing and 100% completion of annual 
code of conduct training.
•	 Effective creation and delivery of a new Worley brand that aptly reflects our transforming business to strengthen our market position
•	 Significant development in enterprise risk management, including strengthening adoption of risk-informed decision making and focus on 
balancing risk and return
•	 Deepened engagement strategy with a broad range of stakeholders including key customer partnerships in sustainability-related work.
CEO individual scorecard modifier
125%
Performance for other Executive KMP has been assessed by the CEO against individual financial and non financial KPIs and behaviors. 
The Board, based on recommendations from the CEO, carefully considered the individual assessments, taking into account each KMP’s 
performance in their areas of accountability. 
In FY2024, there was strong performance in all regions and evidence of each Executive KMP’s contribution to delivering our ambition 
across our strategic pillars: our portfolio, our people and our planet. 
The Board applied a range of individual modifiers from 115% to 125% to Executive KMP outcomes. Outcomes for each executive are 
summarized in the following page.

4.	 Closing price for Worley shares on 30 June each year.
5.	 The DEP grants vested in FY2020 and FY2021 were not performance tested. From FY2021, we included a performance hurdle assessed after two years. Under the
	
current plan structure, 50% of equity rights vest at year two and 50% at year three. See section 6.4.2 for details.
6.	 We didn’t test any LTI grants in FY2023, following the change from a three-year to a four-year performance period. 
7.	 Prior to FY2022 we reported EPS % achieved above CPI. From FY2022, we report EPS % achieved excluding CPI for all years.
8.	 The payout for FY2020 was calculated on the EPS outcome at the time, prior to a restatement relating to FY2020 and FY2021. For details, refer to the FY2022 
	
Annual Report financial statements note 2E. The payout following the restatement would have been 99.1%.
9.	 We tested two separate LTI TSR tranches in 2020. The FY2017 and FY2018 LTI grants had four-and three-year performance periods respectively.
10.	Worley’s TSR performance is measured relative to specified peer group(s) for each grant, see section 3.5 for the peer groups we tested this year. 
11.	Payout outcome is determined by our percentile rank relative to the specified peer group(s) for each grant. These percentile outcomes are detailed in section 3.5.

OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

5.  Looking ahead – FY2025 and beyond
The Board regularly reviews the executive remuneration framework to ensure it:
•	 is appropriately competitive in the markets in which we operate, with regard to the Australian-listed context, Worley’s global presence 
and broader employee value proposition
•	 includes performance measures that are aligned to our strategic ambition, are measurable and well understood, and for which 
appropriate targets can be set
•	 supports the retention of executives and is aligned to broader talent and succession strategies
•	 delivers executives reward which is aligned with the shareholder experience.
During FY2024, the focus of the review was on executive remuneration quantum and mix and LTI performance measures. 
5.1  REVIEW OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION AND MIX
Following changes to the CEO’s total remuneration and remuneration mix discussed in section 3.1, we reviewed the remuneration and 
mix of the other Executive KMP, using benchmark data relevant for each role and location where each executive is based. See section 6.1 
for further information on our benchmarking approach.
From FY2025, the remuneration for other Executive KMP will increase and the remuneration mix will have a higher weighting toward at 
risk variable components, to more closely align with the global markets we operate and compete for talent in.
Mr O’Rourke’s fixed remuneration will increase by 7%, Mr Brantley’s fixed remuneration will increase by 5%, and Mr Trueman’s fixed 
remuneration will increase by 5%. Variable remuneration targets will increase to 90% for STI, 70% for DEP and 115% for LTI as a 
percentage of fixed remuneration. Maximum variable remuneration opportunities for STI will remain at 150% of the target, and for DEP 
and LTI will remain at 100% of the target. 
As a result of this increase, 76% of each Executive’s total maximum remuneration will be delivered as variable remuneration. 
Additionally, 44% of each Executive’s total maximum remuneration opportunity will be delivered in equity under the DEP and LTI plans, 
further increasing the alignment to long-term performance, and shareholder interests. 
5.2  REVIEW OF THE LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
The purpose of the LTI is to reward executives for long-term growth in shareholder value and attract, motivate and retain executives to 
deliver our strategic ambition. It is important that our LTI acts as a credible and meaningful tool with our executives to drive long-term 
growth. With this in mind, the Board reviewed the performance measures which apply to our LTI plan. Our current LTI has two equally 
weighted performance measures, a relative TSR measure with two international peer groups and an EPS measure. Refer to section 6.4.3 
for more details on the current LTI plan design.
5.2.1.  TSR REVIEW
The review focused on the TSR peer groups given the challenges we have had in determining an appropriate comparator group. Our 
current TSR comparator groups consist of global companies that compete with Worley in selected segments of their business. We have 
very few directly comparable peers, both in Australia and globally. The current groups are also small, which means vesting outcomes 
are more sensitive to small changes in percentile ranking of peers and the impact of corporate events. The Board considered multiple 
factors, including:
•	 sector/industry relevance
•	 geography
•	 competition for capital
•	 relative size
•	 stock similarity 
•	 peer group size.
The Board decided to retain the relative TSR measure (with a 50% weighting) for FY2025, but will change to a single TSR comparator 
group consisting of ASX 100 companies in the Industrials, Materials and Energy GICS classification. This is a more relevant comparator 
group for Worley based on the factors outlined above. The Board will continue to assess the alignment of the LTI performance measures 
to our ambition and whether other measures should be considered in the future.
88
Worley Annual Report 2024

5.2.2.  EPS REVIEW
The Board regularly reviews our EPS growth targets and considered this measure as part of the recent review. EPS growth remains 
an important LTI measure, providing a clear line of sight between executive performance and Worley’s financial performance.
Last year we received feedback from investors and proxy advisors regarding the level of stretch in the FY2024 EPS targets. 
The Board considered this along with the following factors:
•	 the impact of current and forecast market conditions, including macroeconomic and microeconomic risks faced
•	 the variability of the energy transition journey and the resulting cyclicality of our earnings trajectory. Our four year EPS CAGR is 
historically volatile, and maintaining a wide vesting range strikes the right balance between achievability and stretch for participants, 
ensuring continued trust in the plan
•	 the appropriate vesting threshold for EPS growth as our strategy continues to evolve
•	 ensuring we are rewarding executives for making steady progress towards double digit EBITA growth.
Following the review, the Board determined the FY2025 EPS threshold target will be increased from 4% to 5% and the maximum target 
from 8% to 9%. This means EPS growth over the performance period below 5% will result in nil vesting. Growth between 5% and 8.9% 
will result in pro-rata vesting. Growth of 9% or above will result in 100% vesting, the maximum available under the plan.
We’ll continue to review our remuneration framework to ensure it remains globally competitive and aligned to our purpose, ambition 
and strategy.

OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

6.  Executive remuneration structure in detail 
Our remuneration framework supports our purpose and strategy. It drives high performance in line with our values, strategic objectives 
and risk appetite. It must be globally competitive to attract, motivate and retain top talent. It creates shareholder alignment by 
incorporating significant equity components. This encourages executives to behave like owners, focus on building long-term value and 
stay with us through business cycles. 
6.1  BENCHMARKING
We engage independent external consultants to provide benchmark data and trend insights that support our decision-making and help 
keep our remuneration levels competitive. Our benchmarking approach considers the size, nature and complexity of our business and 
the global talent markets we operate in. We analyze individual role benchmarks, including the experience and capability of the executive, 
their location, and the economic and wages environment. 
OUR GLOBAL COMPARATOR GROUPS ARE:
OUR AUSTRALIAN COMPARATOR GROUPS 
ARE:
1.	
Global companies that 
compete against Worley 
for people, customers 
and projects: AECOM, 
Aker Solutions, Arcadis, 
AtkinsRéalis, Fluor 
Corporation, Jacobs, KBR, 
Parsons, Petrofac, Stantec, 
Sweco, Technip Energies, 
Tetra Tech, Wood Group 
and WSP Global
2.	
Companies of similar size, 
scope and/or complexity that 
operate where each executive 
is based.
3.	
ASX companies operating in the 
energy, materials or industrial sector, 
with a market capitalization between 
50% and 200% of ours, and those 
with similar global operations and 
complexity to our business.
We’ll continue to review our benchmarking approach to make sure it considers the companies we compete with for talent and the 
markets we operate in.
6.2  FIXED REMUNERATION
We pay our executives competitive fixed remuneration, reflecting the accountabilities and expectations of the role. We set fixed 
remuneration relative to market conditions and relevant benchmarks, along with individual factors including their experience, capability, 
performance and potential.
Fixed remuneration includes cash base salary or allowances, retirement contributions and any salary-sacrificed components. Executives 
are eligible for certain benefits in line with the policies of their local Worley employer and compliance with local legislation. Benefits are 
locally competitive to attract and retain executives and support their wellbeing. Typically, these include retirement contributions (such as 
statutory superannuation) and basic insurances (such as disability, life and medical), where they are provided as local market practice. 
We may also provide benefits to support the global mobilization of executive talent. We aim to have competitive global mobility policies 
and support the safety and wellbeing of our people and their families.
6.3  REMUNERATION MIX
Most executive reward is variable and at risk. We incorporate high levels of equity-based remuneration to create strong shareholder 
alignment. This graph shows the mix of remuneration opportunity at minimum, target and maximum performance. Maximum STI is 
150% of the target STI. At-target vesting assumes 100% vesting for DEP and 50% (i.e. threshold) for LTI. Maximum values assume 
100% vesting for all equity.

6.4  FY2024 VARIABLE REMUNERATION IN DETAIL
6.4.1.  FY2024 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE (STI)
Feature
Description
Purpose and link to strategy
The STI plan focuses executives’ efforts to deliver financial, ESG and strategic priorities relevant to the 
financial year, motivating them to achieve high performance against challenging targets.
Eligibility
All Executive KMP are eligible to participate. Generally, they need to have been employed for at least three 
months of the financial year.
Opportunity
The CEO STI target was pro-rated between the prior target of 100% of fixed salary to 30 November 2023, 
and 115% from 1 December 2023. For other Executive KMP the STI target was 80% of fixed salary.
Delivery
Cash
Performance period
One year
Setting performance 
conditions and targets
The Board sets robust annual KPIs and performance levels (minimum, target and maximum). Executives 
need to achieve a high minimum (threshold) level of performance before we pay any STI. At-target payout 
represents performance over and above day-job performance. Maximum payout for financial targets is 150% 
and requires outstanding performance.
Performance conditions
We measure performance through a business scorecard with Group-wide measures that apply to all 
executives, and individual scorecards with specific individual measures.
Business scorecard 
We set ambitious targets against financial, ESG and strategic KPIs fundamental to the long-term 
transformation and performance of the business:
•	 Financial KPIs (60% weighting): underlying NPATA (50%) and cash conversion ratio (10%). 
These focus executives on annual operating profit and cash flow management.
•	 ESG KPIs (20% weighting): aligned to areas such as climate actions, sustainability, safety, diversity 
and inclusion, and risk management.
•	 Strategic KPIs (20% weighting): priorities that will have the most impact on our transformation. 
We may measure performance by quantitative outcomes or qualitative indicators.
The business scorecard is formulaic, with defined metrics and targets for performance levels. Weighting 
applies to all KPIs except ESG KPIs. The Board determines an outcome for the entire ESG component, 
considering the performance against each KPI target.
Individual scorecard 
This comprises KPIs aligned with each executive’s area of accountability and may include financial, ESG and 
strategic measures. There are clear quantitative and qualitative measures and indicators, differentiated from 
the targets in the business scorecard to ensure executives are not rewarded twice for the same outcomes. 
The individual scorecard also includes KPIs for HSS leadership and behaviors in line with our values.
Performance assessment 
and payout
Following the end of the financial year, the Board assesses achievement of each KPI relative to the 
targets set. 
The Board also reviews underlying NPATA results for remuneration purposes to make sure executives are:
•	 being held to account for their actions and delivering the annual target
•	 considering potential acquisitions or investment and transformational opportunities for their strategic 
importance and not the impact on their remuneration outcomes.
For the underlying NPATA KPI, threshold performance is 80% of budget or target. For each 1% increase 
in performance between threshold and target, the payout rises 5%. Above target, each 1% increase 
in performance results in the payout rising 2.5%. Payout is capped at 150% for performance of 120% 
of target. 
For the cash conversion ratio KPI, the threshold performance is set 5pp below the bottom of the budget 
range. Target performance is within the budget range, which pays out at 100%. For performance up to 
5pp above the budget range, payout may increase up to a maximum of 150%.
The ESG and strategic KPIs have a maximum payout of 100% of target.
The executives’ individual scorecard outcome can modify the business scorecard outcome by 
between 0% and 125%. Final STI payouts are capped at a maximum of 150%. The Board assesses 
achievement of individual scorecard KPIs relative to the targets set, behaviors demonstrated, and outcomes 
relating to risk or conduct to determine the final individual scorecard modifier.
The total payout pool is funded through business performance, and the individual scorecard modifier guides 
the allocation of payouts to individual executives.

6.4.2.  FY2024 DEFERRED EQUITY PLAN (DEP) – GRANTED OCTOBER 2023
Feature
Description
Purpose and link to strategy
The DEP is designed to attract, motivate and retain staff globally, with particular emphasis on the United 
States, where nearly half our executives are located. It further aligns our executives with shareholder 
interests and encourages decision-making focused on the mid-to-long term. The performance hurdle 
rewards executives for achieving business growth in defined sustainability-related work, directly supporting 
our ambition to be recognized globally as a leader in sustainability solutions.
Eligibility
All Executive KMP are eligible to participate. They generally need to have been employed at the beginning 
of the performance period (1 July in the year of grant).
Opportunity
DEP targets were 70% of fixed salary for the CEO and 55% of fixed salary for other Executive KMP.
Delivery
Performance rights. Each performance right that vests entitles executives to one Worley share. Rights are 
granted at no cost to executives and no exercise price is payable by executives to acquire shares at the time 
of vesting.
Number of performance 
rights
We divide the DEP target value by the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Worley shares over 
10 trading days following the release of our prior-year financial results. For FY2024 this was $17.14.
Performance period
Two years: for the FY2024 grant, the performance period runs from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2025.
Summary of 
performance condition
The FY2024 performance hurdle measures progress in our strategy to deliver growth and help our customers 
achieve their sustainability goals.

Performance against the KPI, including the rationale for the vesting percentage, will be disclosed in the 
Remuneration report following the end of the performance period.
Performance assessment 
and payout
The grant vests in two equal tranches at two and three years. The Board determines the outcome of the 
strategic execution condition at the end of the performance period, considering the results against the 
KPI(s). The Board determines a nil, partial or full performance outcome. There is no re-testing. Any rights 
that don’t vest lapse immediately. Vested rights are automatically exercised immediately following the 
vesting date. Vesting of performance rights is subject to ongoing service with Worley and satisfactory 
individual performance up to each vesting date. It is also subject to individual malus and clawback 
provisions. Refer to section 8.4.
Board discretion
The Board considers the quality of the result to make sure the outcome reflects performance in line with our 
values and avoids unintended outcomes. The Board may also consider:
•	 guidance and recommendations from external stakeholders, including proxy advisors, ASIC and legislative 
bodies in the markets we operate in
•	 feedback from our people, customers, suppliers, shareholders and communities we operate in
•	 consultation with independent external advisors as necessary.
Leaver provisions
If an executive resigns before the vesting date, they will normally forfeit their performance rights. 
In certain circumstances, the Board may allow good leavers to retain a pro-rata amount of their unvested 
performance rights. See section 8.6 for more detail.
6.4.3.  FY2024 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE (LTI) – GRANTED OCTOBER 2023
Feature
Description
Purpose and link 
to strategy
The LTI encourages executives to commit to Worley and focus on creating long-term value. The performance 
metrics reward executives for creating sustained shareholder wealth above that of peer companies and 
absolute long-term earnings performance above a minimum threshold.
Eligibility
All Executive KMP are eligible to participate. They generally need to have been employed at the beginning 
of the performance period (1 July in the year of grant).
Opportunity
LTI targets were 115% of fixed salary for the CEO and 85% for other Executive KMP.
Delivery
Performance rights: each performance right that vests entitles executives to one Worley share. Rights 
are granted at no cost to executives and no exercise price is payable by executives to acquire shares at 
the time of vesting.
Number of 
performance rights
We divide the LTI target value by the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Worley shares over 
10 trading days following the release of our prior-year financial results. For FY2024 this was $17.14.
Performance period
Four years: for the FY2024 grant, the performance period runs from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2027.
93
Worley Annual Report 2024
OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Feature
Description
Summary of 
performance condition
We assess the LTI against two equally weighted, independent performance targets: 
Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdle – 50% weighting
The TSR measure represents change in the value of our share price over a period, including reinvested 
dividends. This is expressed as a percentage of the opening value of the shares. We chose relative TSR 
because we believe this provides the most direct measure of shareholder return. For the FY2023 grant, 
performance is measured by ranking Worley’s TSR against two peer groups:
1.	companies that compete against Worley for customers, people and projects today (80% weighting): 
Aker Solutions, Fluor Corp, KBR, Petrofac, AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC Lavalin), Technip Energies and Wood
2.	companies aligned to our strategy of becoming a global leader in sustainability solutions by leveraging 
knowledge, technology and digital solutions (20% weighting): AECOM, Arcadis, Jacobs, Parsons, Stantec, 
Sweco, Tetra Tech and WSP Global. 
The vesting schedule for rights subject to the relative TSR hurdle is as follows:
Relative TSR Percentile Ranking
Percentage of Rights that may vest
Less than 50th percentile
0%
At 50th percentile
50%
Between 50th percentile and 75th percentile
Pro-rated vesting between 50% and 100%
At 75th percentile or greater
100% (i.e. maximum available under the plan)
Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth performance hurdle – 50% weighting
To measure EPS, we divide the Group underlying NPATA by the weighted average number of Worley’s 
ordinary shares on issue during the financial year. To measure growth in EPS, we compare the EPS in 
the financial year immediately before the grant with the EPS in the measurement year. The Board chose 
EPS growth because it provides clear line of sight between executive performance and Worley’s financial 
performance. It’s a well-recognized and understood measure within and outside the organization. 
The vesting schedule for rights subject to the EPS growth hurdle is as follows:
EPS annual compound growth
Percentage of Rights that may vest
Less than 4% p.a.
0%
4% p.a.
50%
Between 4% p.a. and 8% p.a.
Pro-rated vesting between 50% and 100%
8% p.a. or greater
100% (i.e. maximum available under the plan)
Performance assessment 
and payout
An independent external consultant is used to calculate the TSR outcomes for all peer companies, including 
any adjustments required in certain scenarios (e.g. capital raising activities, mergers, divestments or 
bankruptcies) and the final ranking list for both comparator groups. 
EPS performance is calculated internally in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. The Board may 
adjust the Group underlying NPATA used for remuneration purposes, where appropriate, to better reflect 
operating performance.
The Board reviews all calculations and recommendations and determines final performance and vesting 
outcomes for both tranches. There is no re-testing. Any rights that don’t vest lapse immediately. Vested 
rights are automatically exercised immediately following the vesting date. Vesting of performance rights is 
subject to ongoing service with Worley and satisfactory individual performance. It is also subject to individual 
malus and clawback provisions. See section 8.4 for further detail.
Board discretion
The Board considers the quality of the result to make sure the outcome reflects performance in line with our 
values and avoids unintended outcomes. The Board may also consider:
•	 guidance and recommendations from external stakeholders, including proxy advisors, ASIC and legislative 
bodies in the markets we operate in
•	 feedback from our people, customers, suppliers, shareholders and communities we operate in
•	 consultation with independent external advisors as necessary.
Leaver provisions
If an executive resigns before the vesting date, they will normally forfeit their performance rights. In certain 
circumstances, the Board may allow good leavers to retain a pro-rata amount of their unvested performance 
rights. See section 8.6 for more detail.

only and is responsible for all decisions.
Management
The CEO recommends remuneration increases 
and variable remuneration outcomes for 
the executives (other than the CEO) at the 
request of the Nominations Committee or 
the People and Remuneration Committee.
Management 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. If appropriate, however, 
management is included in the People and 
Remuneration Committee and Board discussions.
People and Remuneration

96
Worley Annual Report 2024

8.1  MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING 
REQUIREMENT (MSR)
Our MSR aligns executives and NEDs to shareholders, 
encouraging them to behave like owners and focus on building 
long-term shareholder value.
Executives must retain equity received through incentive plans 
until their holding is equivalent to two times their fixed salary 
(or four times for the CEO). They must maintain that multiple. 
The value of their holding includes all Worley shares held plus 
50% of the value of unvested rights. We show the position of 
each executive at 30 June 2024 in section 10.3.
NEDs must acquire Worley ordinary shares equivalent in 
value to their annual base fee. NEDs are expected to meet 
the requirements within their first three-year term. We show 
the MSR position of each NED on 30 June 2024 in section 10.6.
For all MSR calculations, we value shares using the higher 
of the acquisition price or the five-day volume-weighted 
average price (VWAP) for Worley shares up to and including 
30 June 2024: $14.63.
8.2  OTHER EQUITY PROVISIONS
Equity rights granted to executives carry:
•	 no voting or dividend entitlements
•	 no entitlement to participate in new share issues other than 
bonus issues and capital reorganizations, where the Board may 
adjust the number of rights in accordance with the ASX Listing 
Rules. This makes sure there’s no advantage or disadvantage to 
the executive.
8.3  HEDGING
Our Securities Dealing Policy prohibits NEDs and executives 
from hedging unvested equity rights or shares that count 
towards their MSR. This makes sure they:
•	 can’t limit the risk associated with these instruments
•	 are subject to the same fluctuations in share price as all 
other shareholders.
8.4  CLAWBACK AND MALUS PROVISIONS
These enable the Board to claw back or lapse an executive’s 
equity rights if they believe the executive:
•	 has acted fraudulently or dishonestly
•	 has breached their obligations to the Company or 
another Group company, including those outlined in our 
Code of Conduct
•	 received grants based on financial accounts which were 
later restated
•	 is responsible, through negligence or intentional disregard 
for procedures and policy, for a serious event that resulted in, 
or had the potential to result in, significant harm to people or 
our environment.
8.5  EXERCISE OF RIGHTS AND ALLOCATION 
OF SHARES
Once an executive has satisfied all vesting conditions, including 
performance hurdles, their equity rights are automatically 
exercised and they acquire shares at a nil exercise price, 
net of any tax withholding. 
Shares allocated to executives at the point of exercise rank 
equally with all other ordinary shares. Executives have 
unencumbered ownership of vested shares, subject to compliance 
with our Securities Dealing Policy and MSR.
8.6  CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT
Our policy for treatment of benefits and entitlements upon 
termination treats executives fairly, in accordance with the law 
and market practice. It covers discretion the Board may apply and 
was most recently approved by shareholders at the 2022 Annual 
General Meeting (AGM).
Where an executive leaves, the Board may apply discretion and 
determine that they retain some or all of a cash incentive or 
unvested equity rights. This is known as being a good leaver. 
The Board decides the conditions and timing of any payment or 
vesting, considering relevant factors including an assessment 
of the executive’s contribution and performance. The Board 
generally exercises this discretion only in circumstances such as 
death, permanent disability, retirement or redundancy. Typically, 
good leavers retain a pro-rata portion of their awards relative 
to the time they were employed during the performance period. 
Cash incentives paid are subject to Worley’s performance and 
the executives’ individual performance. Retained unvested equity 
rights remain subject to applicable performance and time 
vesting requirements. The Board believes this discretion is 
in our best interests.
8.7  CHANGE OF CONTROL
In a change of control event, the Board has adopted a policy 
which provides a default treatment of pro-rata vesting for LTI 
rights, untested DEP rights and STI entitlements up to the date 
of the change of control, having regard to the portion of the 
vesting period that has elapsed. In this scenario, any DEP rights 
that have already met the performance hurdle but are yet to 
reach their vesting date would vest in full.
The Board retains full discretion to adjust the outcomes pursuant 
to the context of the change of control.
8.8  DILUTION LIMIT
The Board has determined that the number of securities we 
issue under our equity plans should be capped at 5% of the 
Company’s issued share capital over a five-year period. Currently, 
the number of securities issued and held in accordance with the 
equity plans represents 2.87% of the Company’s issued share 
capital (FY2023: 2.85%).

9.  Non-Executive Director (NED) remuneration
We set NED fees at a market competitive level to attract and retain the caliber of directors required to address our strategic 
and operational requirements. The Board reviews NED fees annually, comparing them to fees paid by other ASX listed companies 
of similar size, industry and global scope. It also considers the number of NEDs we need for the business. We don’t pay retirement 
benefits to NEDs unless required to by legislation. NEDs don’t receive any performance-related incentives or participate in Worley equity 
programs. During FY2024 we made no changes to the NED fee policy. Fees have remained the same since 1 July 2019.
We cap the amount we can pay to NEDs in any year. This includes Board and committee fees, and travel allowances. Our shareholders 
approve this cap. The current maximum aggregate fee pool is $3.25 million per annum, set at the 2012 AGM. We paid 91% 
($2.97 million) of the aggregate fee pool during FY2024, compared to 92% ($2.98 million) in FY2023. This includes FY2024 
travel allowances of $120,000.

10.  Remuneration tables (statutory disclosures)
We’ve prepared this section according to the relevant statutory requirements and accounting standards. All amounts are in Australian 
dollars. We discuss the service and performance criteria for the equity grants vesting in FY2024 in sections 3.4 and 3.5, and equity grants 
made in FY2024 in sections 6.4.2 and 6.4.3.
10.1   STATUTORY REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
We report the values in this table in accordance with the relevant statutory requirements and accounting standards. Equity amounts 
are the amortized accounting expense of equity held by Executive KMP for FY2024 and are not indicative of the actual value realized by 
Executive KMP. The current value of equity due to vest in 2024 is detailed in Section 3.6.

1.	This relates to the STI Plan. The FY2024 STI will be paid to executives in October 2024.
2.	Includes expatriate benefits (such as housing, home leave and tax advisory services) and local benefits (such as health insurance, car parking, company cars or 
car allowances, fringe benefits tax and life insurance). Expatriate benefits will typically be reported grossed up for tax purposes in one or more countries (home/
host) and may be subject to tax reconciliations which typically occur up to a year after the reporting period once tax returns are filed in all relevant jurisdictions. 
For this reason, we may include an estimate of tax costs that have not yet been incurred and reconcile these the following year.
3.	Equity incentives include grants made under the DEP and any other special performance grants made from time to time. 
4. Where necessary, we converted USD values to AUD. For FY2024 amounts, we used a rate of 0.6555. For FY2023 amounts, this was 0.6736.

1.	Rights lapsed due to executives not meeting performance hurdles and/or ceasing employment.
2.	Where an executive has a tax withholding obligation payable immediately at vest/exercise, we cancel a number of rights equal to the value of any withholding tax 
paid by Worley on their behalf. The executive is issued a number of shares net of this amount.
3.	May include shares sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
4. ‘Shares delivered’ includes 30,000 shares identified as being held by a close relation. 14,121 shares were delivered in FY2024 from the exercise of vested rights.
10.3  EXECUTIVE MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENT (MSR)
Executives must retain all equity received through incentive plans until their MSR target is met. The MSR value is calculated as:
•	 the number of shares held on 30 June 2024, multiplied by the VWAP over the five trading days to 30 June 2024 - $14.63, plus
•	 50% of unvested equity rights held on 30 June 2024, multiplied by the higher of the 30 June VWAP or the allocation price.

1.	 May include rights granted before the executive became a KMP. 
2.	 Fair value per right at grant is determined by external consultants using an option-pricing model in accordance with the AASB 2 Share-based Payments Standard. 
A Monte Carlo simulation is applied to LTI tranches subject to a TSR performance hurdle. The Black-Scholes Model is utilized for all other tranches. These take into 
account the:
	
•	 share price at grant date
	
•	 term of the right
	
•	 vesting and performance criteria
	
•	 exercise price
	
•	 expected price volatility of the underlying share
	
•	 risk-free interest rate for the term of the right
	
•	 expected dividend yield
	
•	 non-tradeable nature of the right
	
•	 impact of dilution.
	
The fair value is expensed evenly over the service period ending at the vesting date.
3.	 Where an executive has a tax withholding obligation payable immediately at vest/exercise, we cancel a number of rights equal to the value of any withholding tax 
paid by Worley on their behalf. The executive is issued a number of shares net of this amount.
4.	 These are rights lapsed due to executives not meeting performance hurdles and/or ceasing employment.
5.	 This is the total fair value at grant (number of rights granted multiplied by fair market value) that is yet to be expensed following 30 June 2024. The minimum value 
is nil if performance hurdles, or other vesting conditions aren’t met. 
6.	 Chris Ashton’s FY2024 LTI and DEP grants were approved at the 2023 annual general meeting, under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Australian Securities and Investments Commission which relates to the “rounding off” of amounts in the Directors’ Report and 
consolidated 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 zero represent amounts less than AUD $500,000 which have been rounded.  
(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 statement has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, unlisted equity 
instruments, defined benefit plans and assets held for sale, where applicable, that have been measured at fair value. The carrying 
values of recognized assets and liabilities that are hedged with fair value hedges are adjusted to record changes in the fair values 
attributable to the risks that are being hedged. 
(iv) Critical accounting estimates 
In the application of AAS, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets 
and liabilities. 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 areas for which significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are made: 
• revenue recognition, refer note 4 
• current tax payable and current tax expense in relation to uncertain tax position, refer note 6 
• expected 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 
• inclusion and classification of contingent liabilities, refer note 25 
• recovery and valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, refer note 29. 
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 and interpretations 
New and revised accounting standards, amendments or AASB interpretations which became applicable for the current reporting period 
as disclosed below did not have any impact on the Group. 
Applicable 1 July 2023 (FY2024) 
• Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to AASB 101, 108 and AASB Practice 
Statement 2) 
• Deferred Tax relating to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to AASB 112) 
• AASB 17 Insurance Contracts (AASB 17) 
• Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to AASB112). 
 
110
Worley Annual Report 2024

(vi) New accounting standards not yet applicable 
The AASB has issued a number of standards and interpretations, which are not effective until future reporting periods as disclosed 
below. 
Applicable 1 July 2024 (FY2025) 
• Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to AASB 16 Leases) 
• Clarification of liabilities as current or non-current (Amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements) 
• New disclosures on supplier finance arrangements (Amendments to AASB 7 and AASB 107) 
Applicable 1 July 2025 (FY2026) 
• Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21) 
The Group has not early adopted any standards or interpretations which are not yet applicable; however notwithstanding that, the 
estimated impact on adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Group. 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Worley Limited as at 30 June 
2024 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 Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and 
has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.  Unrealized losses are also eliminated 
unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.  Accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent 
with the policies adopted by the Group. 
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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive 
Income and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 
Non-controlling interests not held by the Company are allocated their share of net profit after tax and total comprehensive income net 
of tax in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income and are presented within equity in 
the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position separately from the equity of members of Worley Limited. 
(i) Functional and presentation currency 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian 
dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. 
(ii) Translation of foreign currency transactions 
Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign 
currency denominated assets and liabilities 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. 
Material and other accounting policies that summarize the measurement basis used and are relevant to the understanding of the 
consolidated financial statements are provided throughout the notes.  Where required, the prior year balances were restated for 
comparative purposes.

1 Aggregated revenue represents segment revenue, which is defined as statutory revenue and other income plus share of revenue from associates, less procurement 
revenue at nil margin and less interest income. The directors believe that this disclosure provides further information about the financial performance of the Group. 
2 Segment earnings before interest, tax and amortization of acquired intangible assets (EBITA) is aggregated revenue less segment expenses and excludes the items 
listed in note 3(G). It is the key financial measure that is presented to the chief operating decision maker. 
3 The Group delivers value to customers by providing engineering and construction expertise. In delivering such services, the Group will procure goods or services and 
earn margin on the subsequent sale to customers. Procurement at Margin is considered a key value added service which would not occur without the engineering or 
construction services. Consequently, segment EBITA margin (excluding procurement revenue at margin) is calculated as Segment EBITA / (Total aggregated revenue 
less procurement revenue at margin). 
4 Excludes amortization on acquired intangible assets and impairments, but includes amortization of leased right of use assets. 
5 The directors closely monitor the operating results of the business to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is 
evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently in the consolidated financial statements. 
6 Prior period revenue classifications have been updated to align with the current period presentation and to enhance comparability for the Americas region and Energy 
market sector.

Segment revenues and expenses are those that are directly attributable to a segment and the relevant portion 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 consolidated 
financial statements and are consistent with those in the prior period. 
The segment EBITA 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 
• strategic costs 
• interest and tax for associates 
• amortization of acquired intangible assets 
• costs in relation to cost saving programs 
• other non-recurring gains and losses as described in note 3(E)

Worley Annual Report 2024
OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 
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. 
• 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 contract's specifics and usually are within 30 to 60 days. 
• 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 represents services from contracts entered into with the 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 for contracts that are not prefunded by the 
customers 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 stage of 
completion. 
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. 
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. 
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. 
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 Leases. 
Revenue is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established.

scale. 
Employee benefits expenses are charged against profit on a net basis in their respective categories. 
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 values of the rights 
are amortized on a straight line basis over their performance period. For share settled rights, the fair value of the rights is the share 
price at grant date adjusted for the impact of performance hurdles and other vesting or exercise criteria attached to the right. For cash 
settled rights, the fair value of the rights is recalculated at the end of each reporting period and amortized on a straight line basis over 
their vesting period. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to 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 and the strategic hurdle rights. For the EPS, EBIT and continuous employment condition, the Black 
Scholes model is used. 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.

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, short term and long-term loans and borrowings 
• amortization of discounts or premiums relating to loans and borrowings and non-current payables 
• interest on lease liabilities. 
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 
their 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 Consolidated Statement of 
Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the following periods: 
• customer contracts and relationships 
3-15 years 
• trade names 
 
 
 
5-20 years 
• computer software 
 
 
2-7 years 
• other 
 
 
 
 
3-10 years. 
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 property RoU assets, plant and equipment, 
leasehold improvements and IT Equipment range from 3 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. 
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 
In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to compliance reviews, tax audits and dispute resolution processes by tax 
authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In all material cases, with the help of independent expert advice, the Group 
defends its positions and provides relevant authorities with the requested evidence to support its positions. As these are open matters, 
it is in the best interest of the Company that limited information is disclosed to avoid prejudicing the Group’s position while the matter 
is being resolved.  
Where there are uncertain tax exposures the Group has applied judgment in determining the most likely resolution of that uncertainty 
and where appropriate have recognized provisions. 
The Group currently has two ongoing tax claims in Ecuador, collectively worth $40.6 million (USD$26.8 million), which relate to an 
ongoing receivable recovery dispute in regard to a series of contracts undertaken by the Group in Ecuador. An earlier related claim (in 
the amount of US$6.5 million) has recently been decided in Worley’s favor (although is subject to appeal), while the other two remain 
on foot. Worley believes the claims can be defended based on the nature of the issues being addressed, with a remote probability of 
cash outflow.
In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) 
model rules (“Pillar Two”), introducing new ‘top-up’ taxing mechanisms for multinational enterprises (MNEs) that fall within the rules. 
MNEs will be liable to pay a top-up tax reflecting the difference between their GloBE effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% 
minimum rate. The Group is within the scope of these rules.
As at 30 June 2024, Pillar Two draft legislation has been released in Australia (the jurisdiction in which Worley Limited is
incorporated) but has not yet been enacted. Certain other jurisdictions in which the Group operates have enacted or substantively 
enacted Pillar Two legislation. Once enacted in Australia, the legislation will be effective for the Group for the financial year beginning 1 
July 2024.
Since the Pillar Two legislation was not effective at the reporting date, the Group has no related current tax exposure. The Group 
applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income 
taxes, as provided in the Amendments to AASB 112 issued in June 2023.
The group is in the process of assessing its exposure to the Pillar Two legislation for when it comes into effect.
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 Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income. 
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.

Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term 
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Bank overdrafts are 
included within interest bearing loans and borrowings and lease liabilities in current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of 
Financial Position. 
For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents, as 
defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross 
basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities is classified as an operating cash flow. 
Where cash and cash equivalents held by the Group are subject to external restrictions, the nature of the restrictions and value of cash 
subject to these restrictions are disclosed below. 
Cash and cash equivalents include restricted cash of $9 million (2023: $9 million) that is available for use under certain circumstances 
by the Group, this includes $4 million (2023: $4 million) held in Russian bank accounts that the Group is working to repatriate (refer to 
note 21(D)). 
Procurement cash is held in relation to procurement activities undertaken by the Group on behalf of its customers (refer note 27). 
Included within procurement assets are cash and cash equivalents of $6 million (2023: $11 million).

On 22 December 2023, an international arbitration tribunal dismissed the arbitration process commenced by Worley relating to unpaid 
receivables owing to Worley for historic services provided in Ecuador on jurisdictional and admissibility grounds. Worley denies any 
corruption, illegality, or bad faith on its part. In particular, Worley did not breach anti-bribery and corruption laws. Worley does not 
agree with the tribunal’s decision. Nevertheless, as a result of this dismissal, the gross receivable of $108 million has been written off 
on the basis that the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering it in its entirety or a portion thereof, without further 
investment in commercial and legal recovery processes, the outcome of which is subject to a high degree of uncertainty.  
As the gross liability to the subcontractor was linked to the gross receivable by a pay-when-paid principle under the original contract, 
the Group has also written back the non-current gross payable of $50 million.  In April 2024, a settlement was reached with Worley's 
subcontractor on a residual claim made after the completion of the original contract, and this was provided for and expensed in under-
lying profit at 31 December 2023 and paid in the second half of 2024. The write off of $58 million of net exposure in relation to historic 
services provided in Ecuador is included in the statutory profit result but has been excluded from the Group’s underlying result due to 
its one-off nature. The finalization of these accounting entries for the net exposure and the settlement of the subcontractor claim 
addresses all known financial exposures relating to historic services provided in Ecuador for the financial year ended 30 June 2024. 
 
 
1 On 25 August 2023, Worley completed the sale of the Energy Resourcing Group. A gain on sale of $1 million has been recognized in 'gain on disposal group held for 
sale'. Cash consideration of $19 million was received on completion date. As at 30 June 2024, $11 million of other receivables relates to $5 million of working capital 
recovery from the sale and $6 million of contingent receivables upon meeting certain criteria of the sale which is deemed probable. 
2 Non-current trade receivables and unbilled contract revenue relate to projects where recovery is expected to take greater than twelve months. As at 30 June 2024, 
$nil of non-current payables relate to these non-current trade receivables and unbilled contract revenue (30 June 2023: $50m). 
122
Worley Annual Report 2024

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. 
 
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on a weighted 
average costing basis. When inventories are sold, the carrying value of inventories is recognized as an expense in the period in which 
the associated revenue is recognized. The amount of any write down of inventory is recognized as an expense in the period the write 
down occurs. 
 
Trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost as they are held to collect contractual cash flows that consist solely of 
payments of principal 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. 
For trade receivables and unbilled contract revenue, the Group applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the 
Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes an allowance based on lifetime ECLs experience at each reporting 
date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking 
factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. Despite any ECL booked, the Group reserves the right to collect any 
receivables owed to the Group at 30 June 2024.

Worley Annual Report 2024

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. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. 
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 following: 
• 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 
• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 
Goodwill is not amortized and is instead carried at cost less accumulated impairment. Goodwill is tested at least annually for 
impairment and more often where impairment indicators are present. 
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 right 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). 
Management has assessed that the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored is the three operating regions reporting to the Chief 
Executive Officer being Americas, EMEA and APAC, unchanged from 30 June 2023. 
Value in use calculations used for impairment testing 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. Our strategy considers the global transition of the world’s energy to 
renewable fuels and the continued focus on sustainability related activities across our sectors. These trends have been considered in 
the market data utilized to assess each CGU’s growth rate for impairment testing. 
The goodwill allocated to the material CGUs and the key assumptions used for the value in use impairment testing are as follows:

OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 
Forecast 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 Group’s pivot to sustainability provides the structural framework for growth and we 
are winning work in line with our strategy. The Group is seeing sustainability-related work growing at a higher rate than our traditional 
business. We're well positioned to capture opportunities across our traditional, transitional and sustainable markets with both new and 
existing customers. The forecast cashflows consider the current economic environment, including global inflation rates, and geopolitical 
issues. The compound annual growth rates for the CGUs range from 5% to 9%. 
The combined recoverable values of all CGUs exceed the carrying value by $3.9 billion (2023: $2 billion). 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 testing results 
are reasonable. 
Sensitivity analysis on the inputs for all CGUs is as follows: 
• terminal growth rates: a 0.5% decrease (2023: 0.5% decrease) in the terminal growth rate will result in all CGUs being free of 
impairment at reporting date;  
• post-tax discount rates: a 0.5% increase (2023: 0.5% increase) in the discount rate will result in all CGUs being free of impairment 
at reporting date; and 
• forecast cash flows: a 5% decrease (2023: 5% decrease) in the forecast cash flows will result in all CGUs being free of impairment at 
reporting date.

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. 
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, short term incentives 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. 
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 number 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED 
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the unavoidable costs of meeting contractual obligations exceed the economic 
benefits expected to be received under it.  
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. 
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 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.

CAPITAL 
This section includes information about our capital management practices and shareholder returns for the year. 
 
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 20% and 25% (30 June 2023 
20%-25%). The gearing ratio at 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023 was as follows.

There were no significant changes to interest bearing loans or borrowings during the year ended 30 June 2024. 
In April 2023, the Group issued a $350 million sustainability-linked bond with a coupon of 5.95% set to mature in October 2028. The 
sustainability-linked loan conditions are linked to reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions for the Group. These loans are consistent with 
the Group’s ambition and proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and to refinance the Group's existing bank facilities.  In 
May 2023, Worley refinanced the existing Syndicated Facility Agreement (SFA) of US$1.2 billion (consisting of Term Loan Facility of 
US$400 million for 4 years and Revolving Credit Facility of US$800 million for 5 years). The new SFA has updated terms and pricing 
and significantly improves the Group's liquidity. 
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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income over the period of the loan using the 
effective interest rate method. 
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 vast majority of the Group's leases are properties, with a small portion comprising leases of construction equipment, vehicles and 
IT equipment.  
As a lessee, the Group uses a single model for all incoming rentals and, at lease commencement date, recognizes a RoU asset 
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.

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 $116 million (2023: $117 million) disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial 
Performance and Other Comprehensive Income is $14 million recognized on lease liabilities (2023: $11 million). 
Unsecured notes payable on the Group's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2024 were issued in the EURO 
market and in the Australian dollar debt capital market in June 2021 and April 2023 respectively, both of which are listed on the

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. 
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. 
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 2024, 810,000 were 
exchanged (2023: 30,000). 
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. 
 
 
1 Included in ordinary shares are 86,193 (2023: 896,193) 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 (30 June 2023: nil) shares in the Company, which have been consolidated and eliminated in 
accordance with the accounting standards.

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. 
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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income when the 
associated hedged transaction affects the profit and loss. 
No amount was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income in relation to 
hedge ineffectiveness for the year ended 30 June 2024 (2023: nil).  
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. 
Interest rate swap is undertaken to mitigate the risk from long-term borrowings with variable rates which expose the Group to cash 
flow interest rate risk which is hedged to by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. 
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. 
The performance rights reserve is used to recognize the fair value of performance rights issued but not vested. 
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. 
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.

Within the total number of performance rights, which are considered dilutive, the weighted average number of converted, lapsed, or 
cancelled potential ordinary shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share was 499,485 (2023: 332,557).  
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 is calculated as profit attributable to members of Worley Limited adjusted for: 
• costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

RISK 
This section discloses our exposure to various financial risks. Its also covers the potential impact on our financial position and 
performance, and how we manage these risks. 
 
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans and overdrafts, lease liabilities, cash and short 
term deposits and derivatives. The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: 
• credit risk; 
• liquidity risk; and 
• market risk. 
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for 
measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report. 
The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Audit and Risk 
Committee assists the Board in overseeing the integrity of the Group’s financial reporting risk management framework and internal 
controls. 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. 
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. 
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 guarantees and letters of credit which are presented as contingent liabilities in note 25(A). 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 includes derivative instruments in an asset position at balance date. 
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.  
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. 
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 as follows.

The Group applies the simplified approach in calculating Expected Credit Losses (ECLs). Therefore, the Group does not track changes 
in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a 
provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and 
the economic environment. 
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. 
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.

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, EUR, 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.

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 being at or near 100%. 
The gains and losses deferred in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position were as follows.

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest 
rate risk. When required, hedging is undertaken through transactions entered in interest rate swaps. Swaps currently in place cover 
approximately 65% (2023:nil) of the variable loan principal outstanding. The fixed interest rates swaps are at 4.6% expiring on 31 
December 2025.   
Only bank loans in the table above are at floating interest rates with the effect of changes in interest rates of 1% changing the total 
interest expense of 2%. Notes payable are at fixed interest rates. Lease liabilities 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. 
 
 
1 Excludes capitalized borrowing costs.

Worley Annual Report 2024

 
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. 
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. 
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. 
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. 
• 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).  
• Level 3 - if one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This 
is the case for unlisted equity instruments. 
•  
Derivative instruments including forward exchange contracts are stated at 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.  The Group's 
derivative instruments including forward exchange contracts fall within level 2 of the hierarchy. 
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. 
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values with the exception of interest-bearing loans and 
borrowings and lease liabilities which have a fair value of $2,064 million (2023: $2,217 million) and a carrying value of $2,073 million 
(2023: $2,249 million). 
There were no transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 for the periods presented in this report.

In accordance with accounting standards, the Group discloses only significant entities identified on the basis of materiality. 
There was no acquisition of controlled entities in FY2024. 
On 11 May 2023, the final payment of $24 million was paid for shares purchased in 2022 for Jacobs Zamil and Turbag Consulting 
Engineers Company and Jacobs DCSA Saudi Arabia Co Ltd.  
On 25 August 2023, Worley completed the sale of the Energy Resourcing Group. A gain on sale of $1 million has been recognized in 
'gain on disposal group held for sale'. Cash consideration of $19 million was received on completion date. As at 30 June 2024, $11 
million of other receivables relates to $5 million of working capital recovery from the sale and $6 million of contingent receivables upon 
meeting certain criteria of the sale, which is deemed probable. 
During the year, an additional $49 million was received in relation to the sale of American turnaround and maintenance business from 
prior period due to the deferred consideration agreed under the terms of the contract of sale. 
On 26 May 2023, Worley completed the divestment of the North American Turnaround and Maintenance business.  A loss on sale and 
related expenses of $240 million was recognized within the loss on sale of disposal group and related expenses line of the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income and treated as an exclusion from underlying earnings. 
As announced on 10 March 2022 to the ASX, Worley is continuing to safely withdraw its services provided in and into Russia and will 
not enter into new contracts. 
At 30 June 2024, the net assets of Russian entities is $24 million (2023: $23 million), $4 million (2023: $4 million) of which is cash in 
bank. This cash is classified as restricted cash (refer to note 7) due to the sanctions imposed by the Russian Federation on certain 
countries including Australia. We are continuing to take all necessary steps to ensure the Group recovers the remaining investments in 
Russia.

Worley Annual Report 2024

Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial 
Performance and Other 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. 
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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income 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, and is the rate at which a similar 
borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

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 Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Performance and Other 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. Joint arrangements are 
those entities over which joint control is present with at least one other party. Joint ventures are joint arrangements where the Group 
is only exposed to the net assets of the investee.

The Company and some of its subsidiaries have commitments and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. These 
include performance guarantees and letters of credit in respect of contractual performance obligations, litigations and claims in relation 
to projects, taxation and environmental matters. These types of matters could result in various forms of cash outflows, including 
compensation for damages, cost reimbursements, taxation expense, fines, penalties, and other forms of cash outflows. The directors 
consider that it is not probable that the outcome of any individual matter, including the items listed below, will have a material adverse 
effect on the net earnings or cash flows in any particular reporting period.   
The Company has regular reviews of its litigations, claims and other contingent matters, including updates from corporate and outside 
legal counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The directors are currently of the 
view that the Group has adequately considered these matters for recognition in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. 
Other than specifically mentioned, none of the financial implications of the matters mentioned below have been provided for in the 
financial statements.  
In performing this assessment, the directors considered the nature of existing litigations or claims, the progress of matters, existing 
law and precedent, the opinions and views of legal counsel and other advisors, the Group’s experience in similar cases (where 
applicable), the experience of other companies, and other facts available to the Group at the time of assessment. The director’s 
assessment of these factors may change over time as individual litigations or claims progress. 
Where it is considered, disclosure could prejudice the Group's position in a dispute; as per the accounting standards, only the general 
nature of the dispute has been disclosed below. 
Civil liability claims arose from legacy contracts in Ecuador, details of which were included in the half year report released on 28 
February 2024. At that time, 17 civil liability claims, amounting to $267 million (US$182 million) remained outstanding with similar 
procedural flaws to earlier claims which were awarded in Worley’s favor. Since that time, four of these remaining claims, amounting to 
$42 million (US$34 million), have been found in Worley’s favor with the 13 still outstanding amounting to $225 million (US$148 
million). Worley continues to pursue all options to have the outstanding claims removed from the Ecuadorian court system. 
Accordingly, management believes that there is a low probability of the remaining claims requiring a cash settlement.

The Company 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. 
These guarantees and letters of credit only give rise to a liability where the entity concerned fails to perform its contractual obligation.

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is exposed to claims against it in relation to various legal matters and other disputes. 
Some of these include claims of significant value which are initially included in demand letters or court documents. The outcome of 
actual pending and future legal, judicial, regulatory, administrative and other proceedings of a litigious nature cannot be predicted with 
certainty. Claims and disputes can raise complex legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties including but not limited to, the 
facts and circumstances of each particular case, issues regarding the jurisdiction in which each claim is brought and differences in 
applicable law. All such matters are assessed on a regular basis and defended using advice from legal and other experts, and if
deemed appropriate, an amount is provided. The remaining items without provision are carried as contingent liabilities. In many cases 
the Group has a range of defence options available to it. These include defending the claim with evidence rejecting it, enforcement of 
contract terms that provide the Group with limitations of liability and/or indemnity against certain claims, use of existing provisioning 
and the application of insurance cover against any cost. An adverse decision on any claim could result in additional costs that are not 
covered either wholly or partially by existing provisioning and/or under insurance policies and that could impact the business and the 
results of the Group.
At 30 June 2024, the Group has a number of legal claims and disputes of significant value, relating to such legacy and actual pending 
claims. Given the uncertainty surrounding such matters and the sensitivity of defence strategy, any further disclosure of these matters 
could prejudice the outcome to the Company.
The Group is subject to various environmental regulation requirements in relation to the Group’s global operations. We continue to 
monitor and abide by these laws. Existing or pending claims in relation to environmental matters, including asbestos related matters 
are not expected to have a material effect on the Group’s operations and performance, however, climate change legislation could have 
a direct effect on the Group’s customers and suppliers, which could in turn impact the Group’s operations. We continue to monitor the 
developments in this area.
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 (2023: 25.0 cents per share).
In accordance with AASB 110 Events after the Reporting Period, the aggregate amount of the proposed final dividend of [$132] million is 
not recognized as a liability as at 30 June 2024.
Unless disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements, no other material matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 
2024 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.

Property, plant and equipment and right of use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment, 
if any.
Assets are impaired on an individual basis where they can be distinguished as a stand-alone asset (generate largely independent cash 
flows). Where assets cannot be individually distinguished, they are grouped and tested within the appropriate CGU as described further 
in note 10.
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.

Worley Annual Report 2024

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 within the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income. 
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 
Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income. 
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 assesses the recoverability of recognized and unrecognized 
deferred taxes on a consistent basis, using estimates and assumptions relating to projected earnings and cash flows as applied in the 
group goodwill impairment testing process.  
The Group operates defined benefit pension plans which require contributions to be made to a separately administered fund. The 
Group also provides certain post-employment healthcare benefits to employees (unfunded). The plans are closed to new participants. 
The balances in relation to defined benefit plans are as follows. 
 
Consolidated

Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position:

Net defined benefits liability 
20
25
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.

OVERVIEW  |  CONTEXT & STRATEGY  |  OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW  |  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
Our audit approach 
An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management 
structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. 
Audit Scope 
• 
Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant 
accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. 
• 
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give 
an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and 
management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in 
which it operates. 
• 
Local audit firms operating under the Group audit team’s instructions conducted an audit of the 
most significant components. The components were selected due to their significance to the 
Group, either by individual size or by risk. The Group audit team performed audit procedures 
over shared service functions such as Order to Cash, Purchase to Payables as well as centrally 
managed areas such as the impairment assessment of goodwill, share based payments, and 
the consolidation process.  In addition, selected local audit firms performed targeted audit or 
specified procedures on selected financial statement line items for selected components.    
• 
Further audit procedures were performed over the remaining balances and the consolidation 
process, including substantive and analytical procedures. The work carried out in these 
components, together with those additional procedures performed at the Group level, gave us 
sufficient evidence to express an opinion on the financial report as a whole.  
Key audit matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the 
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do 
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit 
and Risk Committee. 
Key audit matter 
How our audit addressed the key audit matter 
Revenue recognition and other related 
balances  
 
Refer to note 4 - Revenue $11,789 million, note 
8 – Current and non-current trade receivables 
Our audit procedures, included the following, 
amongst others: 
164
Worley Annual Report 2024

 
Key audit matter 
How our audit addressed the key audit matter 
and contract assets $2,048 million and $27 
million respectively 
As described in Note 4 to the consolidated 
financial statements, the    Group measures 
revenue based on the effort expended relative to 
the total expected effort to complete the service.  
Moreover, there are certain key estimates that 
drive the measurement of Group’s revenue and 
its recognition in the consolidated financial 
statements. These estimates include: 
• 
Percentage of completion, estimating 
costs or extent of progress towards 
completion of work; and 
• 
Variable consideration including 
accounting for performance incentives 
and service cap. 
Auditing these estimates requires significant 
judgement given the;  
• 
estimation uncertainty; and 
• 
significant complexity involved in 
estimating the costs or extent of 
progress towards completion of work. 
Therefore, recognition of revenue is considered 
a key audit matter. 
Other related balances 
The Group recognised significant trade 
receivables $1,194 million and unbilled contract 
revenue $982 million as of the year end.  
Given the geographical spread of the Group’s 
projects and the Group’s bespoke arrangements 
with customers, there is significant judgement 
applied by management in assessing  the 
recoverability of long outstanding trade 
receivables and unbilled contract revenue which 
• Developed an understanding of the key 
controls associated with the recognition and 
measurement of revenue.  
• We considered the appropriateness of the 
Group’s accounting policy in relation to the 
recognition and measurement of revenue 
against the requirements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards.  
• For a selection of projects based on qualitative 
and quantitative factors, we performed the 
following procedures amongst others: 
o We inspected the signed contract 
agreements to develop an understanding 
of key contract terms. 
o We held meetings with project 
managers/directors and senior 
management for the selected projects to 
develop an understanding of the status, 
key changes in cost estimates, status of 
unapproved change orders, recoverability 
of trade receivables and unbilled contract 
revenue, and the existence of any material 
claims or litigations.  
o We assessed the cost to complete 
estimate, which is used to calculate the 
percentage of completion, by: 
- 
Evaluating the Group’s historical ability 
to forecast costs to complete by 
comparing the current cost estimate to 
the historical cost estimate prepared by 
the Group’s qualified professionals 
within the project teams. 
- 
Performed sensitivity analysis and/or 
comparison of cost estimates to 
historical actual costs incurred.   
o We recalculated the revenue based on the 
input method for lump sum projects to

Key audit matter 
How our audit addressed the key audit matter 
are overdue beyond 121 days and therefore, it is 
considered as a key audit matter for the current 
year audit.  
assess the calculation of revenue 
recorded. 
• We assessed the competence, capabilities 
and objectivity of qualified professionals within 
the project teams who were involved in the 
process of preparing the cost to complete 
estimate. 
• For a selection of project related balances as 
of the year end, we tested the subsequent 
collection and subsequent billing of trade 
receivables and unbilled contract revenue, 
respectively. 
• We assessed the Group’s estimates of the 
expected credit losses, with reference to 
historical losses and the ageing of trade 
receivables and unbilled contract revenue. 
• We evaluated the reasonableness of the 
Group’s disclosures against the requirements 
of Australian Accounting standards, including 
disclosures with respect to significant 
estimates and judgements.  
Carrying value of goodwill 
Refer to note 10 – Intangible assets; goodwill 
$5,343 million 
 
The Group recognises assets for goodwill which 
are allocated to a cash generating unit (CGU). 
The Group has three cash generating units for 
goodwill which are Americas, EMEA and APAC. 
Under Australian Accounting Standards, the 
Group is required to assess the carrying value of 
goodwill annually for impairment, irrespective of 
whether there are indicators of impairment. 
 
The Group has prepared a value-in-use (VIU) 
model based on discounted cashflow forecasts 
to calculate the recoverable amount of each 
CGU. Key assumptions in the VIU model include 
expected future cash flows, discount rates and 
terminal growth rates.  
Our audit procedures, included the following, 
amongst others: 
• Developed an understanding of the key 
controls associated with the preparation of 
the discounted cash flow models used to 
assess the recoverable amount of the CGUs. 
• Assessed whether the allocation of the 
Group’s goodwill to the CGUs, which are the 
smallest identifiable group of assets that can 
generate largely independent cash inflows, 
was consistent with our knowledge of the 
Group’s operations and internal Group 
reporting. 
• Assessed the Group’s ability to forecast 
future cash flows for the business by 
166
Worley Annual Report 2024

 
Key audit matter 
How our audit addressed the key audit matter 
 
This was a key audit matter due to the financial 
significance of the goodwill balance to the 
consolidated statement of financial position and 
the significant judgement involved in determining 
the recoverable amount of each CGU, including 
expected future cash flows, discount rates and 
terminal growth rates. 
 
 
 
 
 
comparing historical budgets with reported 
actual results. 
• Compared the significant assumptions used 
in the VIU models to historical results, 
economic and industry forecasts. 
• Compared the forecast cash flows used in 
the VIU models to the most up-to-date 
budgets formally approved by the Board. 
• With the assistance of PwC valuation 
experts: 
o Assessed whether the VIU model used 
to estimate the recoverable amount of 
the CGUs is consistent with the 
requirements of Australian Accounting 
Standards 
o Assessed whether the terminal growth 
rates used in the VIU models were 
consistent with the long-term average 
growth rates of the industry in which the 
Group operates 
o Assessed whether the discount rates 
appropriately reflect the risks of the 
CGUs by comparing the discount rates 
assumptions to market data, 
comparable companies and industry 
research. 
• Tested the mathematical accuracy of the VIU 
model’s calculations. 
• Evaluated the reasonableness of the 
disclosures made in note 10, including those 
regarding key assumptions and sensitivities 
to changes in such assumptions, against the 
requirements of Australian Accounting 
Standards

Other information 
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024, but does not include the 
financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon through our opinion on the financial report. We 
have issued a separate opinion on the remuneration report.  
 
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of 
this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are 
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report 
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report in accordance 
with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001, including giving a true and fair 
view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 
the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 
an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. 
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our

2°C above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the 
temperature increase further to 1.5°C.
People network groups 
Our People network groups bring employees with shared 
characteristics or life experiences, such as gender, race, cultural 
heritage, sexual orientation and/or gender identity, disability, 
together in a safe space and offer varying opportunities for 
members. We also have People network groups which bring

mental health, together. These include social and development 
opportunities, mentoring, volunteering, sharing best practice and 
a chance to gain skills and experience in areas they may not get 
the opportunity to do in their ‘day job’.

Power-to-X solutions turn renewable electricity into something 
else of value. The Power-to-X term covers a group of technologies 
and processes that convert typically renewable energy into 
different energy carriers or feedstocks. These include hydrogen, 
methanol, methane, and ammonia.
R3 
Ready, response and recovery. Our program for business security 
and continuity.
Renewable energy

hydropower, solar energy, wave power, onshore and offshore wind 
energy).
Reporting period 
Reporting period highlights our efforts from 1 July 2023 to 
30 June 2024, unless otherwise stated.
Resource circularity 
Refers to an economic system in which the value of products, 
materials and other resources in the economy is maintained for as 
long as possible, enhancing their efficient use in production and 
consumption, thereby reducing the environmental impact of their 
use and minimizing waste at all stages of their life cycle, including 
through the application of the waste hierarchy.
Scope 1 emissions
Direct GHG emissions from sources within our operational control.
We have an interim net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission 
reduction target of 65% on our FY2020 baseline by the end of 
FY2026. We have a net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions target by

Scope 2 emissions
Indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased energy 
consumed at sites within our operational control. We report 
Scope 2 emissions using both location-based and market-based 
accounting.
•	 Market-based: Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased 
energy. This accounting method derives emission factors from 
contractual instruments, which include any type of contract 
between two parties for the sale and purchase of energy 
bundled with attributes about the energy generation, or for 
unbundled attributed claims.
•	 Location-based: Scope 2 GHG emissions based on the average 
emissions intensity of grids on which energy consumption 
occurs (using mostly grid-average emission factor data).
We have an interim net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission 
reduction target of 65% on our FY2020 baseline by the end of 
FY2026. We have a net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions target by

Sustainability-linked bond 
A type of bond instrument for which the financial and/or structural 
characteristics can vary depending on whether the issuer achieves 
predefined sustainability or ESG objectives. It is a forward-looking 
performance-based instrument with a flexible structure.
Sustainability-related project/work 
Our work is classified into three categories – Traditional, 
Transitional, and Sustainable – based on the market segment 
and solution type. 
•	 Traditional: All other projects that are not classified as 
Transitional or Sustainable, e.g. oil, petrochemicals, grey 
hydrogen, minerals such as iron ore and alumina.
•	 Transitional: supports the energy transition, and for which 
there are no current technically and economically feasible lower 
carbon alternatives, e.g. natural gas, combined heat and power, 
decarbonization of traditional markets, CCUS.
•	 Sustainable: contributes to sustainable development, e.g. 
renewable energy, critical minerals required for the energy 
transition, remediation and restoration, direct air capture.
Sustainability-related work refers to the sum of sustainable 
work and transitional work. See sustainability and our 
definition on page 26. We also use sustainability-related to 
describe markets, portfolios and opportunities associated with 
sustainability-related work.
Sustainability-related revenue 
Aggregated revenue derived from sustainability-related work, 
in line with our definition on page 26 and above. Revenue is 
classified based on the market segment and solution type to 
determine which of the three categories it falls into. Transitional 
revenue + Sustainable revenue are combined to provide the total 
‘Sustainability-related’ revenue reported.
Sustainability solutions 
Referring to our definition of ‘sustainability’, our activities 
supporting customers to meet sustainability objectives on their 
projects. 
Sustainable Solutions 
Our approach to incorporating sustainable thinking into project 
delivery and design. For example, Sustainable Solutions enables 
our people to identify and quantify sustainability ideas and 
savings related to carbon and energy use.

environmentally and socially responsible outcomes. These targets 
guide actions and strategies across various sectors, helping 
organizations and societies work towards positive impacts on 
the environment, communities, and overall wellbeing.
