MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

The Directors of Monadelphous Group Limited are pleased to report the Company achieved a record first-half earnings result for shareholders in the six months to 31 December 2013 (H1 2014).

Revenue

Sales revenue for H1 2014 was $1,277 million, down 1.0 per cent on the previous corresponding period. Revenue remained close to record levels, despite the slowdown in the resources sector, with a high volume of construction contracts underway during the period.

Earnings

Net profit after tax (NPAT) was a record $87.1 million, an increase of 10.1 per cent. This included a one-off aftertax gain of $7.9 million from the sale of aviation support services business, Skystar Airport Services (Skystar). NPAT excluding the one-off after-tax gain from the sale of Skystar (underlying NPAT^) was up 0.1 per cent to $79.2 million.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and the one-off pre-tax gain on the sale of Skystar (underlying EBITDA^) for H1 2014 was $121.4 million, a decrease of 3.1 per cent.

Earnings per share (EPS) excluding the one-off gain from the sale of Skystar (underlying EPS^) was 2.6 per cent lower at 86.3 cents.

Cash flow and dividend

Cash flow from operations was strong at $78.1 million, a conversion rate of 92 per cent. As a result, the Board declared an interim dividend of 60 cents per share, fully franked, down 3.2 per cent on the previous corresponding period. The Monadelphous Group Limited Dividend Reinvestment Plan will apply to this dividend with a discount of 2 per cent to the issue price.

Construction revenue maintained

Revenue remained close to recent record levels as the Company continued to deliver on a high volume of construction contracts.

The unprecedented surge in construction activity over the past two years has slowed as a number of large construction contracts have been substantially completed.

Levels of capital expenditure in mining and minerals have eased, reducing the pipeline of available work and increasing competitive pressure. While all core markets are tightening, major LNG developments continue to provide significant opportunities, with a high volume of bidding activity during the latest period.

Efficiency and productivity

As announced at the 2013 full year results, the company has focused on consolidating and right-sizing the business in response to softening market conditions. Cost savings of approximately $34 million on an annualised basis have been realised to date.

The July 2013 consolidation of the infrastructure division into the operating structures of the two service-based divisions, Engineering Construction and Maintenance and Industrial Services, has supported the efficient delivery of services and is reducing fixed costs.

4

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Continued to secure new work

Monadelphous was awarded approximately $600 million in new contracts and extensions in H1 2014, including a major iron ore construction contract and maintenance contract extensions in the oil and gas market. A further $100 million in new contracts has been signed subsequent to the reporting period, with additional awards expected in coming months.

Sale of Skystar

During the period, the Company sold its non-core aviation support services business, Skystar Airport Services, to Menzies Aviation, a division of John Menzies plc. The transaction, completed on 18 October 2013, involved the wholly owned operating subsidiaries Skystar Airport Services Pty Ltd and Skystar Airport Services NZ Pty Ltd. The sale resulted in a one-off pre-tax profit of $10.4 million.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Markets

Monadelphous maintained its strong position in core markets and further strengthened its reputation as a leading construction and maintenance services provider in the growing oil and gas market as the unprecedented surge in construction activity moderated.

The Company also continued the expansion and diversification of its capabilities in new service markets with transmission pipelines and marine now making up approximately 20 per cent of revenue.

Health and safety

Monadelphous’s constant focus on its core value of safety and wellbeing drove further improvements in the Company’s health and safety performance, and delivered another record safety result. The total case injury frequency rate was 3.41 incidents per million man-hours worked, a 38 per cent improvement on the previous corresponding period.

A new incident management system was introduced during the period. This provides the Company with a consistent business-wide approach to health, safety, environmental and quality incident management. Enhanced reporting capabilities will help facilitate shared learning and continuous improvement.

People

The Company’s total workforce at 31 December 2013 was 5,656, a decrease of 25.6 per cent on a like-for-like basis from 12 months earlier when employee numbers were near peak levels. The main focus for the period was on restructuring and right-sizing the business in response to the change in market conditions.

Costs in focus

The company-wide cost reduction program, introduced in the second half of the 2013 financial year, continued during the period and has achieved an annualised cost saving of approximately $34 million, including $17 million of annualised overhead cost reductions. The program is aimed at maintaining profitability and improving productivity and is focused on the key areas of projects, people, procurement, plant and equipment and property.

Cost reduction initiatives have included a consolidation of support and services structures, a review of project delivery methodologies, consolidation and renegotiation of major supply agreements, rationalisation of the plant and equipment fleet and tightening of expenditure processes and authorities.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY

Monadelphous provides a broad range of services to the resources, energy and infrastructure markets through its two operating divisions, Engineering Construction and Maintenance and Industrial Services.

Engineering Construction

The Engineering Construction division, which provides large-scale, multidisciplinary project management and construction services, recorded sales revenue of $960.4 million, an increase of 0.8 per cent on a like-for-like basis when compared with the previous corresponding period.

Projects substantially completed during the latest period were:

  • Construction of stacking, reclaiming, train load out, product sampling and water infrastructure facilities for BHP Billiton Iron Ore’s Jimblebar Mine, east of Newman in Western Australia (WA);

  • Construction of the onshore DomGas pipeline for SapuraClough Sea Trucks Joint Venture, associated with the Chevron-operated Gorgon project on Barrow Island (WA);

  • Structural and mechanical works associated with coarse iron ore stockpiles, installation of a screen house and a new car dumper for Rio Tinto at Cape Lambert (WA);

  • Structural, mechanical and piping works for a greenfield mine processing plant at Rio Tinto’s and Hancock Prospecting’s Hope Downs 4 Iron Ore Project near Newman (WA);

  • Structural, mechanical, piping and electrical works for Rio Tinto’s Marandoo Mine Phase 2 Expansion Project, east of Tom Price (WA);

  • Structural, mechanical and piping installation works for BHP Billiton Petroleum, associated with the construction of the onshore gas plant at the Macedon Gas Project near Onslow (WA); and

  • Construction of the potable water supply system, including bore field, collector main, transfer pump station and 87km transfer pipeline for Rio Tinto’s coastal water supply project near Pannawonica (WA).

Other major project activity included:

  • A construction general services contract for Bechtel (Western Australia) at the Chevron Australiaoperated Wheatstone Project near Onslow (WA);

  • Construction of a CO2 injection pipeline for the Chevron Australia-operated Gorgon project on Barrow Island (WA);

  • Civil, structural, mechanical, piping and electrical and instrumentation works for a coal handling plant for BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance’s Caval Ridge Mine Project, south-east of Moranbah, Queensland;

  • A design and construction contract, in joint venture with OSD Projects Pty Ltd, for a pipeline and a delivery station for Rio Tinto’s Cape Lambert Petroleum Gas Pipeline at Cape Lambert (WA);

  • Engineering, procurement and construction, with JKC, of the gas export pipeline works for the onshore facilities of the Ichthys Project in the Northern Territory;

  • Structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation works for the construction of Rio Tinto’s Western Turner Brockman iron ore plant near Tom Price (WA);

6

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

  • Construction of an approach jetty and ship berth through the Monadelphous Muhibbah Marine (MMM) joint venture, and a further contract to construct and commission a ship loader, associated with the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd (WICET) project at Gladstone in Queensland; and

  • The supply of fabricated steelwork for stacker bridges and runway support gantries for WICET’s coal stockyard at Gladstone, Queensland.

New contracts, with a combined value of approximately $350 million, awarded during the period included:

  • Design and construction of the East Nogoa Water Treatment Plant for the Central Highlands Regional Council in Emerald, Queensland;

  • Construction of the Wheatstone Ashburton West Pipeline for the DBP Development Group (DDG) near Onslow (WA); and

  • Supply and installation of a screenhouse, two car dumpers and associated conveyor and transfer stations for Rio Tinto Iron Ore at its Cape Lambert Port B Project in WA.

Subsequent to the reporting period, the Company signed a $100 million contract with DDG for the construction of the Fortescue River Gas Pipeline from Compressor Station 1 on the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBGNP) to the Fortescue-operated Solomon Iron Ore Mines in the Pilbara (WA).

Maintenance and Industrial Services

The Maintenance and Industrial Services division, which specialises in the planning, management and execution of multidisciplinary maintenance services and shutdowns, recorded sales revenue of $317.1 million, a 6.7 per cent decline on a like-for-like basis compared with the previous corresponding period.

Volumes in maintenance were impacted by mining and minerals customers’ continued focus on productivity improvements and reduction in discretionary capital spending in response to weaker commodity prices and rising costs. Oil and gas work continued to grow, and now represents almost 60 per cent of total revenue for the division.

Major contract activity during the latest period included:

  • Facilities management services at the Chevron-operated Gorgon Project on Barrow Island, (WA);

  • Shutdown and maintenance services for Rio Tinto’s coastal and inland west operations in the Pilbara (WA);

  • Maintenance and shutdown services for BHP Billiton’s Nickel West operations in the Goldfields (WA);

  • Maintenance and shutdown services at the Woodside-operated Karratha Gas Plant at Karratha, WA, including work with Woodside through a newly integrated front-end support team to develop work packs for future shutdowns at the plant;

  • Field construction services for Oil Search Limited at its oil and gas production and support facilities in Papua New Guinea;

  • Multidisciplinary services at the Darwin LNG facility, operated by ConocoPhillips, in the Northern Territory; and

  • General maintenance services and projects for Chevron Australia at its Barrow Island and Thevenard Island operations (WA).

7

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

During the period, the Company was awarded approximately $250 million in contract extensions including:

  • A three-year extension to a field construction services contract for Oil Search Limited at its oil and gas production and support facilities in the Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea;

  • A two-year extension to an onshore maintenance and shutdown services contract at the ConocoPhillipsoperated Darwin LNG facility in the Northern Territory; and

  • A one-year extension to the facilities management services contract associated with the Gorgon Project, operated by Chevron Australia, on Barrow Island (WA).

OUTLOOK

Market conditions in the mining and minerals sector have continued to tighten as customers pull back on capital expenditure and focus on productivity and maximising returns from existing assets.

Committed and planned developments in oil and gas and iron ore will continue to provide opportunities in the short to medium term. In particular, the large volume of LNG projects moving through the mechanical and electrical phase of construction will provide major construction prospects over the coming years. Bidding activity in this market is high and the company is in a strong position to secure new contracts in both upstream and downstream LNG developments.

The long term outlook for the maintenance service market remains robust as new resources and energy developments come on stream. Whilst demand for maintenance services volumes is under significant pressure from mining and minerals customers, volumes in the oil and gas market are expected to grow as new LNG projects move to the operating phase.

As highlighted at the 2013 full-year results, the Company experienced an abnormal surge in revenue in 2011/12 and 2012/13, reflecting a period of historically high capital investment in the resources and energy industries. This is moderating and at this stage 2013/14 full-year revenue is expected to decline by approximately 10 per cent.

Monadelphous is focused on managing execution risks, improving productivity and reducing costs to protect margins that remain under pressure in an increasingly competitive environment.

The Company’s leadership position in its core markets of resources and energy and increasingly diversified revenue base will support ongoing revenue opportunities and long-term growth. The Company will continue to expand its range of services in new and existing markets, including transmission pipelines, marine construction, power and water, and pursue the development of new services and geographical expansion for existing customers.

On behalf of the Board, I thank our customers for their continued patronage, our shareholders for their support and our people for their dedication, commitment and highly valued contribution.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

On 16 January 2014, the Company announced the award of a new pipeline construction contract with a value of approximately $100m. The contract with the Fortescue River Gas Pipeline Joint Venture is for the construction of the Fortescue River Gas Pipeline from Compressor Station 1 on the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (approximately 150km south of Dampier, northern WA) to the Fortescue Metals Group’s (ASX: FMG) Solomon Hub in the Pilbara.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2013

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The half-year condensed consolidated financial report of Monadelphous Group Limited for the six months ended 31 December 2013 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 17 February 2014.

Monadelphous Group Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES TO THE GROUP’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of Preparation

The half-year financial report is a general-purpose condensed financial report which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting.

The half-year condensed consolidated financial report does not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of Monadelphous Group Limited as at 30 June 2013.

b) New and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the half-year condensed consolidated financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2013, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations as of 1 July 2013, noted below:

  • AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

  • AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities.

The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give you control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. The adoption of AASB 10 had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

  • AASB 11 Joint Arrangements

  • AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and UIG-113 Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition it removed the option to account for jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method.

The adoption of AASB 11 had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-7 and amendments to AASB 128.

20

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2013

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES TO THE GROUP’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

b) New and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations (continued)

  • AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced regarding the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.

None of these disclosure requirements are applicable for interim condensed consolidated financial statements, unless significant events and transactions in the interim period requires that they are provided. Accordingly, the Group has not made such disclosures.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets.

AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined.

The adoption of AASB 13 had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-8 which has resulted in additional disclosures around the fair values of financial instruments. Refer to note 9 for the additional disclosures.

  • AASB 119 Employee Benefits

The revised standard changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date.

The adoption of AASB 119 had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10.

  • AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

AASB 2012-2 principally amends AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to require disclosure of the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entity's recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity's financial position, when all the offsetting criteria of AASB 132 are not met.

The adoption of AASB 2012-2 had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2013

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES TO THE GROUP’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

b) New and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations (continued)

  • AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle

  • AASB 2012-5 makes amendments resulting from the 2009-2011 Annual Improvements Cycle. The standard addresses a range of improvements, including the following:

  • Repeat application of AASB 1 is permitted (AASB 1)

  • Clarification of the comparative information requirements when an entity provides a third balance sheet (AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements).

The adoption of AASB 2012-5 had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

  • AASB 2012-9 Amendment to AASB 1048 arising from the withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039

  • AASB 2012-9 amends AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards to evidence the withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039 Substantive Enactment of Major Tax Bills in Australia.

The adoption of AASB 2012-9 had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

  • AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (AASB 124)

  • This amendment deletes from AASB 124 individual key management personnel disclosure requirements for disclosing entities that are not companies. It also removes the individual KMP disclosure requirements for all disclosing entities in relation to equity holdings, loans and other related party transactions.

The adoption of AASB 2011-4 had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2013

8. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Revenue is derived by the consolidated entity from the provision of engineering services to the resources, energy and infrastructure industry sector. For the half-year ended 31 December 2013 the Engineering Construction division contributed revenue of $960.4 million (2012: $952.4 million), the Maintenance and Industrial Services division contributed revenue of $317.1 million (2012: $339.8 million) and Airport Services contributed revenue of $7.8 million (2012: $11.2 million*). Included in these amounts is $8.6 million (2012: $14.1 million) of inter-entity revenue, which is eliminated on consolidation. The operating divisions are exposed to similar risks and rewards from operations, and are only segmented to facilitate appropriate management structures.

The directors believe that the aggregation of the operating divisions is appropriate for segment reporting purposes as they:

  • have similar economic characteristics;

  • perform similar services for the same industry sector;

  • have similar operational business processes;

  • provide a diversified range of similar engineering services to a large number of common clients;

  • utilise a centralised pool of engineering assets and shared services in their service delivery models, and the services provided to customers allow for the effective migration of employees between divisions; and

  • operate predominately in one geographical area, namely Australia.

Accordingly all service divisions have been aggregated to form one reporting segment.

  • The 2012 figures have been restated to reflect the consolidation of the Infrastructure business into the Engineering Construction and Maintenance and Industrial Services divisions.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2013

9. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

  • (a) Forward currency contracts

At 31 December 2013, the Group had a foreign currency forward contract denominated in foreign currency. The maturity of the foreign currency forward contract has been aligned with the expected payment dates of the purchases. The Group does not apply hedge accounting and the fair value loss of $177,984 (2012: Gain $1,044,202) has been taken to the Income Statement. The fair value of the Group’s financial instruments are exposed to market movements in interest and exchange rates.

(b) Fair value hierarchy

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

  • 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: The fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

For financial instruments that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Financial instruments valuation method

Available-for-sale assets: Calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

  • Derivative financial instruments: Net present value calculated using forward exchange rates at the valuation date.

Hire purchase agreements: The fair value includes the value of contracted cash flows, discounted at market rates.

Financial assets measured at fair value

2013
$’000 $’000 $’000
Derivative financial instruments 85 - 85
Available-for-sale assets – Equity shares 3,511 3,511 -

During the six month period to 31 December 2013 there were no transfers between any level of the fair value hierarchy. No transfers between any level of the fair value hierarchy took place in the equivalent comparative period. There were no changes in the purpose of any financial asset that subsequently resulted in a different classification of that asset.

The carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values.

12. SHARE BASED PAYMENT

In November 2013, a total of 90,000 options were granted by Monadelphous Group Limited under the Employee Option Plan – October 2013 at an exercise price of $17.05. The exercise price of the options granted under the Employee Option Plan – October 2013 was calculated as the volume weighted average closing market price of the shares for the five trading days prior to 15 October 2013. The fair value of each option issued during the half-year was estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option-pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants during the half-year:

Dividend yield 7.4%
Expected volatility 30.0% - 40.0%
Historical volatility 30.0% - 40.0%
Risk-free interest rate 2.79% - 3.32%
Expected life of option 25% - 2 years
25% - 3 years
50% - 4 years

The dividend yield reflects an analysis of past dividends and future dividend expectations. The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which also may not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

For the half-year ended 31 December 2013, the Group has recognised $1,970,702 of share-based payment expense in the Income Statement (2012: $3,399,506).

13. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

The consolidated group has capital commitments of $150,880 at 31 December 2013 (2012: $3,316,132).

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2013

14. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE

On 16 January 2014, the Company announced the award of a new pipeline construction contract with a value of approximately $100m. The contract with the Fortescue River Gas Pipeline Joint Venture is for the construction of the Fortescue River Gas Pipeline from Compressor Station 1 on the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (approximately 150km south of Dampier, northern WA) to the Fortescue Metals Group’s (ASX: FMG) Solomon Hub in the Pilbara.

On 21 January 2014, the Company announced the retirement of Non-Executive Director, Irwin Tollman, from the Board, effective from 31 January 2014.

On 17 February 2014, Monadelphous Group Limited declared an interim dividend on ordinary shares in respect of the 2013 financial year. The total amount of the dividend is $55,384,828, which represents a fully franked interim dividend of 60 cents per share. This dividend has not been provided for in the 31 December 2013 Financial Statements. The Monadelphous Group Limited Dividend Reinvestment plan will apply to the dividend.

Other than the items noted above, there are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the half-year ending 31 December 2013 which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.
