OVERVIEW STRATEGIC REPORT GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Chair's statement

Delivering on our strategic focus

C_GEN Section Chair's statement C_GEN_PageL2

RENÉ MÉDORI Chair

2022 was another challenging year for Petrofac, and from the outset, I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their patience. The fact is, further unrecovered cost overruns in the legacy portfolio, adverse commercial settlements, and cost increases on the Thai Oil Clean Fuels joint venture contract continued to impact the business, while growth opportunities did not materialise as quickly as had been widely anticipated.

Under these circumstances, the Group worked to capitalise on the progress made in 2021, namely the resolution of the SFO investigation and the capital raise and refinancing. Client relationships were restored, particularly in the United Arab Emirates, our execution capability was strengthened by embedding a single technical services organisation (1tec), a strong pipeline of bidding opportunities was pursued, and the excellent performance of Asset Solutions and IES continued.

Interactions with clients and all market analysis reviewed by the Board points to a much needed return to investment in our key geographies. As this happens, Petrofac is well-positioned for growth.

Benefiting from a strong reputation, bolstered by a clear ESG positioning

In meetings with stakeholders, I am continually reassured of Petrofac's enduring reputation for delivery. The message I hear from the market, time and time again, is that clients value Petrofac and they look forward to the Company playing a significant role as the sector evolves.

In these meetings, I am also reminded of the importance of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda. The ability to demonstrate strong ESG credentials is a key strategic asset in today's world. Many of our most important stakeholders tell me that they are impressed by Petrofac's ESG-related achievements.

This includes the progress made in embedding a comprehensive compliance and governance regime, but extends also to our emphasis on employee wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, and our Net Zero commitments. A key strength is our local delivery model, which remains a clear differentiator for Petrofac, enabling us to capture efficiencies and reduce execution risks, while also making a strong and tangible contribution to the economies in which we operate.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Of course, energy transition also represents a significant business opportunity. In particular, the Board is encouraged by the scale of the opportunities in offshore wind. One customer alone has plans to install a further 40 gigawatts of grid capacity to support offshore wind power generation. Alongside a proven track record, new initiatives, like our collaboration with Hitachi, enable Petrofac to deliver a compelling service in this rapidly growing sector.

Maintaining a strong and stable Board

In November 2022, we announced that Sami Iskander would be leaving Petrofac to pursue other interests. Once again, I would like to thank Sami for his invaluable contribution since joining the Board. As well as overseeing the resolution of the historical SFO investigation and concluding the refinancing programme, Sami reshaped the business and put it firmly on a path to sustainable growth. As everyone who worked with him will agree, he also brought unwavering energy and decisive leadership at a critical time in Petrofac's history.

In terms of the Board itself, I would also like to thank Andrea Abt and George Pierson for their support and valued counsel during a particularly turbulent time. They both served for two consecutive three-year terms and stepped down at the 2022 AGM. This left us with a smaller, more focused Board, which is commensurate with the scale of the Group and the geographies in which it operates.

One of the Board priorities for 2022 had been to prepare for my own succession. In order to provide continuity, my term as Chair had already been extended. However, with a new Group Chief Executive joining in April 2023, the recommendation was that I should remain in place for at least another year. As Tareq Kawash continues to lead Petrofac on its path towards growth, he will need to be able to rely on a stable and supportive Board, and this will be one of our key priorities in 2023. Following the 2024 Annual General Meeting, we will address long-term succession, not just for me but for other long-standing Directors.

Providing clarity on our strategic priorities

As we planned for the transition to a new Group Chief Executive, the Board made it clear that the existing strategy must remain in place. Significant progress has been made in closing out the mature, pandemic-affected legacy contracts and positioning Petrofac for growth, so now is the time to capitalise on the work already achieved. Our priorities for 2023 are therefore clear, it will be about building on Sami's work, winning new business and getting Petrofac back to executing at sector-leading margins.

I would like to thank the entire Petrofac team for their continued commitment to the Group, their response to the ongoing challenges, and their contribution to the many achievements of 2022.

RENÉ MÉDORI Chair 27 April 2023

Transitioning to a new Group Chief Executive

In our search for a suitable successor to Sami Iskander, we were fortunate to appoint Tareq Kawash, who joined the Board on 1 April 2023 from McDermott International, where he previously ran their sizeable onshore and offshore business across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

With deep knowledge of our core geographies, Tareq has impeccable credentials in winning and delivering EPC contracts.

He also has pre-existing relationships with many of our key clients, plus several others. Having known and admired Petrofac for many years, he is clearly excited by the opportunity of leading the Group back to growth.

We expect that, given Tareq's strong business development credentials, he will be fully focused on further strengthening our client relationships and landing growth opportunities within our core markets and geographies.

Tareq will be supported by a strong, well-established Executive team, which is indicative of the deep pool of talent across Petrofac.

The Board welcomes the fresh perspectives that Tareq will bring, and we look forward to working with him closely as we take the business forward over the coming years.

Executive review

• While the 2022 results were disappointing, Petrofac is optimistic about a return to growth

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page Executive review C_GEN_PageL2

  • We made good progress in closing-out much of our mature Engineering & Construction (E&C) project portfolio heavily impacted by pandemic delays
  • The market fundamentals are strong, with prospects of an increase in investment across our core markets
  • Asset Solutions and Integrated Energy Services (IES) again performed well, with several important contract extensions, supported by breakthrough activity in decommissioning
  • Bidding activity in both E&C and Asset Solutions is at record levels, extending to the Middle East, North Africa, India, Europe, and beyond

In 2022, strong performance in both Asset Solutions and IES was offset by adverse commercial settlements and further unrecovered cost overruns on our legacy E&C portfolio. Combined with delays in the award of new contracts, 2022 made for a disappointing year.

As we enter 2023, however, a mood of optimism has returned. We have substantially completed a number of projects in our legacy E&C portfolio, E&C bidding activity continues to be at record levels, Asset Solutions is delivering healthy growth and, in the new energies sector, Petrofac is well-placed to benefit from significant investment in offshore wind.

Managing our remaining legacy challenges

As 2022 unfolded, the sector's understanding of the severity of the challenges induced by the pandemic became clearer. Within our own mature portfolio, the pandemic-related issues were compounded by cost increases on the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract.

By the end of the year, seven of the active lump-sum contracts had been completed or substantially completed, while five of the remaining eight are scheduled to complete in 2023 and we are closely monitoring any risks.

Going forward, the work done in reshaping the business, and comprehensively embedding a single technical services organisation (1tec) throughout the Group, will enable us to deliver future projects to a consistently high standard.

Bidding at scale and with discipline across several geographies

An important point to emphasise is the extent of our business development activity in E&C.

Bidding activity is high, with Petrofac vying for several major contracts in the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, and Europe. E&C is well positioned on a number of near-term prospects, with US\$1.5 billion of opportunities where we were at preferred bidder stage, and a further US\$3.0 billion of bids submitted. Including these, E&C had visibility of approximately US\$40 billion scheduled for award by June 2024, of which US\$23 billion is scheduled for award during 2023. At a Group level, the pipeline to June 2024 is US\$51 billion.

Of course, we continued to maintain our bidding discipline, determined to pursue a quality backlog that supports sectorleading margins. We also began to enhance E&C bids with lowcarbon offerings, enabling clients to reduce the carbon intensity of their assets, both during the build phase and throughout their operating life, while also highlighting our leadership credentials across this all-important dimension.

In the renewable energy sector, E&C is well-positioned to capitalise on material short-term opportunities in offshore wind.

As in our traditional sectors, in wind we always seek to take an innovative, problem-solving approach. A great example is our partnership with Hitachi Energy, which we entered into in June 2022. The initial aim was to help a key client, TenneT, to accelerate the preparatory works in its current 2GW programme, and pave the way for an eventual 40GW of offshore wind grid capacity.

This partnership ultimately led to an early works agreement between TenneT, Hitachi and Petrofac, which was further enhanced by the award of Petrofac's largest ever framework agreement - a multi-year deal worth approximately €13 billion at the end March 2023. We also hope that the partnership with Hitachi will help other clients to accelerate their respective wind farm developments.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Continuing to drive growth in Asset Solutions

Asset Solutions delivered another robust performance, with record order intake, continued growth prospects, and a healthy margin.

Beyond several significant contract awards and extensions in our traditional operations, maintenance, and well engineering, we also made a number of breakthroughs in late-life asset management and decommissioning. This was evidenced by significant new awards in Australia and the Gulf of Mexico.

Expertise gained in the mature and highly regulated UK market, including the integration of services across the asset life cycle, is a clear differentiator. It means we have a unique ability to provide a one-stop shop for full decommissioning services, including the ability to take full responsibility from a regulatory perspective. As energy transition continues to gather pace, and more oil and gas assets move towards decommissioning, this is another of the ways we can help to solve problems and create value for clients.

Across the new energy sectors, 2022 was another busy year. We continued to secure early-stage awards and enter into strategic alliances with technology providers for pioneering projects in areas such as hydrogen, carbon capture, utilisation and storage and waste-to-fuel.

Message from Sami Iskander

While cognisant of the disappointing 2022 results, as I look back on my two years leading Petrofac, I feel extremely proud of everything the team has achieved. We effectively rebalanced and reshaped the business, regained a reputation for business probity, secured a critical refinancing programme, and revived several key client relationships. My personal thanks go out to everyone who contributed.

I would also like to thank our shareholders and other investors for retaining their confidence in the Group. Over recent years, there has been much disappointing news for them to contend with, albeit balanced by evidence of tangible progress and the expectation of a return to growth.

I now ask the entire Petrofac team to put their full support behind my successor, Tareq Kawash, as he leads the Group through the next chapter. I truly believe this is a special company, with a strong positioning and a unique in-country delivery model. As a team, we have done much to resolve the challenges in the legacy portfolio, instil an intrinsic and authentic ESG culture, and position Petrofac for sustainable growth. The process of rebuilding the backlog is well underway, laying the foundations for a return to profitability, positive free cash flow and continued recovery and growth thereafter.

I believe that, with a strong outlook and a commitment to continue our bidding discipline, Petrofac will deliver on its ambition of returning to US\$4 billion-US\$5 billion annual revenue, with at least 20% coming from new energies, and delivering sector-leading margins.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page Strategy in action: Delivery C_GEN_PageL2

Petrofac has a strong record for project execution, focused on delivering effective and safe solutions

Across every metric – whether it be productivity, safety, diversity, or environmental performance – we aim to be the industry leaders.

A Petrofac differentiator is our local delivery model. As well as creating in-country value, this is one of the ways we minimise costs, avoid complexity, manage risk, and overcome global skills shortages. The Ain Tsila Development Project in Algeria typifies our approach.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Ain Tsila US\$1.0 billion project

90% of the 4,500 workforce is Algerian

10.3 million cubic metres of gas a day

1,600 tonnes of LPG a day

1,800 tonnes of condensate a day

Active in Algeria since 1997, we have delivered some of the country's most important energy assets. The Ain Tsila Development Project, valued at around US\$1 billion, is one of the most strategically significant – both for Petrofac and for Algeria itself.

Located around 1,100 km south-east of Algiers, the Ain Tsila field will produce gas, LPG and condensate for the local market and for export. The scope involves engineering, procurement and construction of a Central Processing Facility, an offsite export pipeline and gathering system, and includes commissioning, start-up and performance testing.

During construction, 40,000 cubic metres of concrete were poured, 7,000 tonnes of steel erected, 2,000 km of cable pulled, and 410 km of pipelines laid.

As with any Petrofac project, local employment is a big consideration, and we have invested considerably in upskilling the local workforce. We operate the Hassi Messaoud Construction Skills Training Centre, with the capacity to deliver skills-based training to 400 delegates annually, and a new five-year development plan is set to deliver additional modules, third-party certification, and management training for supervisors.

Despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic, the project is on track for completion in the first half of 2023.

What is most rewarding about the Ain Tsila project is our contribution to the local community and the wider Algerian economy. Almost 90% of the 4,500 workforce is Algerian, and most live nearby. Together, we are building a new strategic asset for Algeria – a state-ofthe-art energy facility that will produce more than 10 million cubic metres of gas for the domestic and export markets."

We regard the energy transition as a strategic growth opportunity for Petrofac.

With many transferable skills and capabilities, and a rapidly evolving track record in new energies, we are well-positioned to help our clients meet the world's evolving energy needs.

In the near term, the most material opportunity is in offshore wind, where capacity is expected to grow by more than 50% between 2022 and 2027¹. Our involvement dates back to 2009, when we first started to provide people, maintenance, and support services to BorWin Alpha, the world's first offshore HVDC converter station. Since then, we have designed and constructed several of the most impressive offshore wind facilities, and managed some of the most challenging.

1,075MW of electricity generated

Located over 27 kilometres off the coast of Angus at its nearest point, the Seagreen Wind Farm development, a JV partnership between SSE Renewables and TotalEnergies, is Scotland's biggest, and is set to provide energy for two-thirds of the country's homes when it reaches full capacity.

We have provided the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) offshore substation platform and the onshore substation at Tealing in Scotland, including all civil work and major equipment.

The platform's six-legged jacket, weighing in at 5,100 tonnes, is engineered to withstand the extreme weather conditions in the UK North Sea. Installation progressed to plan, using low-hammer energy and acoustic deterrent devices to minimise any environmental impacts. With the topside added safely in 2022, it is scheduled to be fully operational in 2023.

As demand for wind energy increases, we are helping to frame the future for offshore assets. Our new partnership with Hitachi Energy enables the efficient integration of offshore assets with the onshore infrastructure and, through our collaboration with Seawind Technologies, we are active in the emerging market for floating wind farm concepts.

The skills we've developed in building hydrocarbon assets are directly transferrable to a project like this. Similarly, our knowledge of what it takes to operate and maintain an offshore asset helps us to focus on operability, sustainability, and longevity, as well as constructability. Of course, there are different nuances and a different risk profile, but our technical, engineering and safety management skills are absolutely applicable."

SEE OUR STRATEGY / Page 25

As the energy transition picks up pace, and existing assets in mature basins reach the end of their operational life, the end-of-life management and decommissioning market is expected to grow significantly.

Indeed, a recent report suggests that, by 2027, the offshore decommissioning market will exceed US\$8 billion annually*.

Petrofac is in a good position to benefit. We are the only tier-one contractor with the in-house capability to manage all well and asset decommissioning phases. And, with a one-team, integrated approach, we can simplify stakeholder management and contractual administration – offering clients a one-stop shop and a safe, predictable, cost-effective service.

Having honed our approach in one of the world's most mature and highly regulated basins, namely the North Sea, our track record and expertise can be exported worldwide and deployed in other regions that will ultimately follow the same trajectory.

It is therefore one of our routes to selective geographic expansion – especially when it is combined with other Petrofac differentiators, such as our local delivery ethos – as demonstrated by recent contract wins in Australia Superior and the Gulf of Mexico.

Northern Endeavour

274m long vessel

550km offshore

9 subsea wells to be suspended

Decommissioning and disconnection

from subsea infrastructure

The Northern Endeavour FPSO has a complicated history.

Moored between the Laminaria and Corallina oil fields 550 kilometres northwest of Darwin, the 274-metre-long vessel was originally installed in the mid-1990s and once processed 170,000 barrels of oil a day. However, in 2019, a regulatory inspection found it to be in a degraded state and insisted it was shut down, citing an immediate threat to health and safety. With the operator falling into liquidation, the Australian government sought a partner to manage the necessary decommissioning and selected Petrofac.

Given the state of the vessel it is a complex undertaking, involving meticulous planning, plenty of stakeholder engagement, and close collaboration with the regulators to get consent for each step. Although the global Petrofac organisation is providing expert support, the project team is located in Perth, and is working closely with several locally based supply chain partners. The first major milestone came in October 2022 when, following an intensive programme of due diligence and physical inspections, we officially took over operatorship of the Northern Endeavour.

The contract award could be worth up to AUD\$325 million (US\$236 million). It is the first step in an Australian decommissioning industry that will ultimately be worth several billion dollars.

This is a high-profile, landmark project, both for Petrofac and the Australian energy industry, which marks the start of the country's decommissioning sector. A critical element of our approach is the upskilling of the local workforce. Wherever we work, we aim to be a local company, generating local jobs, developing local skills, and nurturing the local supply chain."

C_GEN Section Market outlook C_GEN_PageL2

As the world adjusts to the new challenges and opportunities brought about by an unprecedented energy crisis and macroeconomic slowdown, countries worldwide are seeking to find the best long-term balance between energy security, affordability, and sustainability. Across each of these three dimensions, Petrofac has an extensive track record in helping clients to access additional energy sources, extend the productive life of, achieve lower costs across their assets' life cycle, and decarbonise their operations.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

In the long term

The long-term fundamentals for Petrofac – and the industry – remain strong. Whatever the pace of the energy transition, all forms of energy will be required for several decades (see chart 1).

Absolute energy demand is expected to remain robust, and oil and gas will continue to be a significant proportion of the global energy mix, even as far as 2050.

Hydrocarbons:

Engineering & Construction: We are active in the most robust hydrocarbon markets within the upstream, refinery and petrochemical sectors, and, following a decade of underinvestment, expect to see growth in spending, particularly in the MENA region. (see chart 2)

Asset Solutions: As clients seek to maximise the value from their assets and subsequently plan for an exit from their operations in mature basins, the prospects for operational expenditure remain strong.

New energies: At the same time there will be an acceleration of investment in new energies, with clean energy investment expected to have exceeded US\$1.4 trillion in 2022, including strong growth in offshore wind, carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS), hydrogen, and waste-to-value projects. In each of these areas, Petrofac has strong credentials and a rapidly developing track record, and we expect to see exponential growth. This

Market outlook continued

is underpinned by our partnership with Hitachi to support the offshore HVAC and HVDC market (see chart 3).

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Given the climate commitments of respective governments, emissions reductions will continue to be a key priority in all markets. There will therefore be considerable pressure on energy companies to reduce the carbon intensity of their existing operations and to shift their focus to lower-intensity fuels. At Petrofac, we are well-equipped to assist clients in improving their emissions performance, as we continue to make progress towards our own 2030 Net Zero commitment.

In the short to medium term

To satisfy immediate demand, compensate for a decade of under-investment, and adjust to the changing geopolitical climate, considerable spend is forecast in production infrastructure, particularly in Petrofac's core MENA markets.

The investment case is made stronger by sustained higher oil prices, which are expected to remain elevated due to ongoing supply shortages and the changing geopolitical climate and a return to pre-pandemic activity levels. With many of the International Oil Companies focusing on decarbonising, and allocating an increasing proportion of investments to new energies, much of the supply gap is expected to be met by the National Oil Companies, a high proportion of which are in our core MENA markets, which are set for a sustained period of production growth.

By virtue of our geographic focus, Petrofac is well-positioned to benefit from this increased investment. Given the low costs of production and anticipated commitments to boost upstream investment and capacity expansion, it is expected that the onus will increasingly fall on the MENA region to continue to meet the global demand for hydrocarbons – as indicated by the UAE's plans to increase its production capacity by one million barrels per day by 2025 (see charts 4 and 5).

Chart 4. Global upstream capex forecasts US\$bn MENA region to grow at 10% CAGR 2021- 2025

Source: Rystad

Whatever the pace of the energy transition, all forms of energy will be required for several decades."

Petrofac has an extensive track record and a leading position in MENA, where investment is expected to grow to US\$120 billion or roughly 20% of global spend by 2025. In 2022, we were named one of the region's top three EPC contractors by Oil & Gas Middle East magazine – an accolade which recognises our local delivery model and high proportion of in-country value, which enhances our understanding of local markets, de-risks delivery, and generates sector-leading margins.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Projections in our core regions:

UAE: ADNOC is expecting to invest US\$127 billion over the period 2022-2026 on growth projects, including plans to raise oil production capacity by 1 million barrels per day by 2030.

Algeria: is aiming to double its gas production destined for exportation to reach 100 billion cubic meters.

Oman: intends to become one of the largest green hydrogen producers and exporters globally, targeting production of 1 million tonnes annually by 2030.

Growth in new energy projects

Meanwhile, as the energy transition gathers pace, we have continued to build on our new energy credentials. In addition to our strong position in offshore wind, we have secured a series of contracts across CCUS, hydrogen and waste-to-value, with earlystage works and emerging technologies providing momentum in anticipation of subsequent public support funding for these energy transition innovations (IEA, 2022). We have also created alliances with several technology providers and developers across these solutions, as well as the Hitachi Energy partnership in offshore wind, to best position the Group to grow in these sectors.

In the near term, offshore wind continues to represent the most material opportunity in new energies, and we expect to pursue several more EPC opportunities in 2023. The medium-term outlook is further strengthened given the new found emphasis on energy security, and the growing enthusiasm for wind power both in Europe and North America. An indication of the potential is TenneT's commitment to deliver 40GW of wind grid capacity in the German and Dutch North Sea, and its plans to invest US\$32 billion in a substantial new grid-link build. For further information, please see the case study on page 72.

A significant addressable market and a busy bidding environment

In the medium term, the addressable market for Petrofac is expected to exceed US\$127 billion per annum, comprising US\$75 billion in upstream oil and gas, refining and petrochemicals, US\$32 billion in new energies, and US\$20 billion in operating expenditure. Against this background, our ambition is to deliver Group annual revenue of US\$4 billion to US\$5 billion, including at least US\$1 billion from new energies.

Of course, uncertainty remains regarding the geopolitical climate, the economic environment, inflationary pressures, and supply chain constraints. However, with healthy bidding volumes, and a Group pipeline of US\$51 billion scheduled for award by June 2024, of which US\$31 billion in 2023 is scheduled to be awarded to the industry, we are well-positioned for recovery, and expect to deliver sustained growth over the medium term.

An example where the Board actively considered stakeholders when making key decisions.

Rightsizing the business

Given the financial and operational challenges of 2022, it was necessary for management to continue to take actions to control costs, protect the Group's balance sheet and maintain liquidity.

Despite the many initiatives taken in 2021, additional cost reductions were necessary this year, including further redundancies in some parts of the Group.

The Board gave its full support to management with respect to the package of measures that was necessary to rightsize the business, while also considering the impact on the Group's employees.

Through updates received from management, the Board remains satisfied that the actions taken were in line with the Group's culture and values and, importantly, that redundancies were made with respect and sensitivity, with the aim of mitigating the impact on those employees affected.

In its support of the rightsizing actions, the Board had regard to the interests of employees and to the needs of the Group's other stakeholders. The Board's decision to support management was based on its responsibility for safeguarding the future success of the Company.

Overview

We build on our traditional strengths, introducing new efficiencies and bringing greater consistency to the way we operate the business – with a single technical services organisation (1tec) providing delivery capability, support and assurance and enabling us to operate with optimal efficiency.

A Petrofac differentiator is our local delivery model, helping us bid on challenging projects, keep costs to a minimum, reduce risk, and build stronger relationships with local stakeholders. To build on this, we ensure that our local teams reflect the clients they serve and deliver the highest levels of in-country value (ICV) in our industry.

We invest in digitalisation and in our technical expertise to maximise productivity and provide optimal solutions to our clients. We develop strategic partnerships to help us achieve the best outcome for our clients. Being technology neutral means we can use our extensive experience to specify the best solution for each client, through partnerships with a wide range of technology suppliers.

2022 Performance

  • Embedded 1tec across the Group
  • Improved on an already strong HSE performance with embedding the new HSE strategy
  • Significant new partnership with Hitachi Energy in offshore wind

  • Rebuild backlog
  • Selective growth in new geographies
  • Leverage capabilities in new energies
  • Customer-centric approach

Overview

As the world adjusts to the changing geopolitical and economic circumstances, spending on the oil and gas infrastructure in our core MENA markets is expected to increase significantly and promises a sustained period of growth.

Our clear priority in Engineering & Construction is to capitalise on this recovery in our core markets.

In new energies, our expertise and track record in offshore wind, along with an expanding market, provides an additional tangible and immediate opportunity for growth. It also acts as an anchor for the development of three other clearly defined segments in which we have strong credentials – namely carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS), hydrogen and waste-to-value.

Meanwhile, Asset Solutions continues to deliver significant revenue growth, and is expected to continue this trajectory in 2023, supported by a strong order intake in 2022 and a healthy pipeline of opportunities across new and existing geographies. Integrated decommissioning is one of the areas in which we are uniquely placed.

As a services business, our clients sit at the heart of everything we do – and, as they work through their respective energy security, affordability, and sustainability challenges, we can help them to access additional energy sources, secure lower costs of production, while decarbonising their operations.

Living up to our sustainability commitments

Alignment between our business model and our ESG agenda

We see the energy transition as a strategic opportunity. The creation of in-country value is central to our local delivery model, and our best-in-class delivery is characterised by uncompromising commitments to ethical behaviour, safety, employee wellbeing, diversity, and inclusion.

Ultimately, our purpose is to help clients to meet the world's evolving energy needs – and this means our purpose is intrinsically linked with overcoming the global challenge of climate change and advancing decarbonisation of the energy sector.

Decarbonisation is at the very centre of what we do

In 2022, the energy transition and energy security were high on the agenda for all our clients, and the way we work reflects that fact. In our everyday operations, we are reducing the carbon intensity of existing oil and gas facilities; designing and building a new generation of lower-intensity energy facilities; and creating a more sustainable future, fuelled by an abundant supply of new energies.

Operationalising our ESG commitments With 25% of their incentives tied to it, ESG has the attention of our Executive team members, and we are making demonstrable progress on many fronts.

In 2022, for instance, we further strengthened our Health, Safety, Environment and Quality teams with several more senior-level appointments. We established a new Emissions Dashboard to drive awareness of our performance at the project, business unit, and corporate level. As a matter of routine, we also supplement our bids with a range of low-carbon options, covering the build of a new asset as well as its subsequent operations. We continued to reinforce the importance of ethical behaviour to our people and have invested considerably in our related teams, systems and processes. These are just a few examples from many – the details of which you can read in this report.

Creating value for our people and our communities

Another source of pride within Petrofac is the way we do business.

We have a local delivery model that enriches communities, creating new jobs, and bringing new wealth. We are a peoplebased business. We care deeply about personal and professional development, we have a culture that embraces diversity, we are a leader in protecting the safety and wellbeing of our people and, with a client-centric ethos, we nurture innovation and value creative problem solving.

These are all reasons to take pride in Petrofac, to embrace the future we are creating, and to celebrate the incredible things we are achieving together."

Defining our material issues

Understanding what matters most to our stakeholders

To understand what matters to them most, we formally engage with representatives from various stakeholder groups (including clients, suppliers, investors, NGOs, policymakers, employees, and our supply chain) and align our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) priorities to the material issues identified.

In 2022, we undertook a comprehensive materiality review, canvassing views from over 30 representatives from external stakeholder groups, complemented by several more focused one-onone discussions. We also consulted over 100 employees from across the business through various webinars, engagement events, and surveys to understand their views and priorities.

Based on this engagement, we maintain a materiality matrix, which is used to inform our ESG programmes and monitor emerging issues. It is also used as a strategic business tool to apply a sustainability lens to business risk, opportunity, and enterprise risk management.

The 2022 engagement demonstrated that, irrespective of the changing geopolitical situation and its impact on energy prices and energy security, climate resilience and decarbonisation (Net Zero) remain high on the agenda. In addition, safety and sector-leading ethical compliance continue to be embedded in our culture and priorities for our stakeholders. Meanwhile, given increased economic pressures, there is an added emphasis on labour rights protection throughout our supply chain, as well as employee welfare and wellbeing.

An ESG framework focused on shared value

Delivering on our sustainability strategy

In our everyday business, our approach to sustainability has a high profile. Through an active programme of internal and external communications, we continue to make our people and our stakeholders aware of our ESG goals, and show how our purpose is aligned to our sustainability ambitions.

Our sustainability strategy is structured around the three ESG pillars:

  • Environmental ensuring that Petrofac minimises its own environmental impact, while supporting our clients in achieving their lower carbon ambitions
  • Social promoting safe, local delivery of our projects and services, drawing on ethical supply chains, building a diverse workforce, and helping to address the skills gaps that will support a just transition
  • Governance underpinning everything we do with clear, consistent standards of ethical behaviour, bound by rigorous compliance and governance

We maintain a dashboard to track our performance against each dimension.

Environmental

Why it is important to our business model and strategy

As an energy services company that designs, develops and operates large scale facilities, Petrofac's business is inextricably linked to environmental considerations.

A central consideration is our role in the global energy transition, including the requirement from clients to reduce the carbon intensity of their existing facilities and operations, as well as our new energies business.

Of course, our approach also extends to mitigating the risk of environmental incidents, as well as the environmental performance of our own operations.

Moving towards our Net Zero goals

In 2020, we committed to transition to a lower carbon business. We aim to reach Net Zero in our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and are promoting and supporting decarbonisation across our supply chain. Our targets support the principles of the Paris Climate Agreement and, as the wider sector moves towards decarbonisation, they are aligned with our clients' ambitions.

Our Net Zero roadmap outlines the approach being taken by each area of the business. Broadly, the path to Net Zero emissions involves two steps:

  • First, to decarbonise to organically lower emissions
  • Then, to offset residual emissions with carbon credits

Our main decarbonisation levers are:

  • Switching our energy supply to renewable power
  • Improving our energy efficiencies
  • Reducing flaring, venting and fugitive emissions
  • Electrifying our transport

In 2022, we continued our efforts to understand and quantify the true source and scale of our scope 3 emissions (see page 35). By building on this work, we should be in a position in 2023 to define related reduction targets.

Supply chain

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Low-carbon supply chain elements were codified into our vendor management systems to facilitate low-carbon procurement and project delivery.

Production operations

The Flare Reduction Taskforce was established to identify decarbonisation opportunities related to gas re-injection (sequestration and storage), condensate recovery, gas shutoff, electrification, and gas export. The Taskforce worked in partnership with the Block PM304 team in Malaysia to deliver a 49% reduction in emissions intensity.

Digitalisation

We matured our Scope 3 programme, extending our assessment across all applicable categories of the GHG protocol including the energy footprint of the facilities we design, build and operate and use this to identify lowcarbon solutions for our clients.

Decarbonisation guidance rolled out

The Net Zero Steering Group developed detailed 'How to' guidance for the business which was rolled out across each Business Unit.

Emissions management tool

Net Zero action plans were put in place for all our main offices, focusing on switching energy supply to renewable energy (where available), advancing initiatives to promote more efficient use of energy and water, and introducing electric vehicle charging points. Our UK offices switched more than 90% of supplied energy contracts to renewable energy.

Environmental, Social and Governance continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

We implemented a cloud-based Emissions Dashboard, which captures and displays all of our scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions data at the corporate, business unit, and project level. Available to all employees via any online or mobile device, this helps us to increase awareness of our performance and adds to the urgency of our Net Zero journey.

Meanwhile we made reasonable progress in identifying and implementing the many local initiatives that will enable us to achieve our overall decarbonisation targets. Accountability for delivering on these initiatives is delegated to each business unit and the work is coordinated by their respective Carbon Management Teams. To assist them, a programme of Decarbonisation Guidance was launched in 2022 via a series of webcasts.

Strengthening our environmental management team

As a demonstration of our environmental commitment, and our determination to achieve our Net Zero goals, we appointed a new Head of Environment & Sustainability. A key leader in our strengthened HSE team, she has a background in environmental science, and previously held senior environmental roles at a global provider of engineering, project and construction services to the mining and metallurgical sectors – so she brings a valuable external perspective to our environmental programmes.

How we manage our environmental performance

Our goal is to manage the environmental risks of our projects and operations effectively, optimise our use of resources, and minimise our environmental impacts.

In terms of emissions, to support our 2030 Net Zero target, we are committed to an interim target of a 3% year-on-year reduction in GHG emission intensity from 2021 to 2023.

Each year, we participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and in 2022 we continued to enhance our climate change programme and again achieved a CDP rating of B. This is within the upper band of CDP rating for managing and taking coordinated action on climate-related issues, and demonstrates that our carbon management system has become more mature, and is above the average rating of C for our sector.

We calculate our carbon footprint and energy consumption in accordance with the UK Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) regulations, and our data is assured and verified by an independent AA1000 licensed assurance provider.

Our Waste Management Standard governs our waste practices, with duty of care as a basic principle. We aim to reduce the amount of waste we generate and promote a circular economy by maximising reuse and recycling of materials. Achievements from 2022 include the phasing out of those single-use plastics that are within our direct control at all our offices and progressing phase-out programmes at several of our project sites.

Reflecting on our 2022 performance

In 2022 our absolute emissions remained broadly the same.

While we made significant progress in reducing emissions intensity, this was offset by increases in production to meet the energy needs of our customers, resulting in little change to our overall absolute emissions.

In IES, a programme of work on our offshore asset in Malaysia brought a step-change in emissions performance. Our Flare Reduction Taskforce in partnership with the Block PM304 Asset's Reservoir Management and Operations Teams in Malaysia successfully reduced emissions intensity by 49% to 131 (166k tCO2 e against net production of 1.2Mboe). This was achieved through a successful ongoing gas shut-off programme, switching diesel for fuel gas that would otherwise be flared, and operational optimisations focused on logistics enhancements.

In E&C, a reduction of 23% to 30k tCO2 e in direct emissions was achieved (against activity of 101 million work hours). This was in part due to lower levels of activity combined with progress delivering our Net Zero plan. It included the roll out and implementation of decarbonisation guidance, further energy efficiency measures in our offices, and the progressive switchover to renewable electricity sources. In addition, we have rationalised our vehicle fleet, reducing the number of vehicles by 17%, though progress with the transition to electric vehicles remains challenging in many geographies due to limitations in charging infrastructure.

In terms of spill performance, we experienced zero reportable spills. However, during commissioning activity on the Seagreen Windfarm Offshore Substation Platform in June 2022,11kg of an electrical insulating gas (Sulphur Hexafluoride, SF6) was accidentally lost to the environment. Standard systems and procedures were immediately activated and site access restricted as a precautionary measure. Although the volume of CO2 equivalent did not meet the threshold for reporting, SF6 is a potent GHG and Petrofac documented and shared all lessons learnt with relevant stakeholders including the UK Health and Safety Executive and Marine Scotland.

Extending the range of decarbonisation services we offer to our clients

As well as managing our own environmental performance, we help our clients to meet the world's evolving energy needs. This means that, as part of our everyday activity, we work with them to reduce the carbon intensity of existing oil and gas facilities, design and build lower-intensity facilities, and deliver on the potential of new energies.

35 PETROFAC LIMITED | Annual report and accounts 2022

Developments from 2022 include:

• In E&C, our bids are increasingly accompanied by fully-costed low-carbon options. These show clients how we can minimise the environmental impact of the construction process, as well as reducing the carbon intensity of a facility's future operations – including electrification, minimised flaring, prevented fugitive emissions, CCUS deployment, and optimised operating approaches.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

  • In Asset Solutions, we enhanced Petrolytics, our AI-powered analytics platform, to monitor the real-time emissions performance of any operating asset. Through a web-based dashboard, this enables us to keep track of a facility's true environmental impact, and to recommend and model performance enhancements – either through planned maintenance cycles, or by intervening with new modifications.
  • Meanwhile, our new energies business continues to gather momentum, as set out on pages 71 and 74.

Addressing our scope 3 emissions

We recognise that the emissions from our value chain are a material part of our carbon footprint and, in 2022, we progressed a scope 3 programme to better understand the related decarbonisation challenges and opportunities.

To quantify these emissions, we use the Quantis Scope 3 evaluator tool developed by the GHG Protocol, customised for in-house carbon accounting. To improve its accuracy, the tool's proxy carbon emissions data is augmented with data from our key vendors, plus direct measurement of some emissions data. For 2022, we extended our scope 3 emissions evaluation across all relevant categories. The total emissions footprint of our value chain was assessed to be 38.2 million tCO2 e, with the majority (35 million tCO2 e) falling within the category of 'Use of Sold Products', reflecting the operating lifetime of the energy intensive facilities we build. These scope 3 emissions have been verified through an external third party.

A key part of our Net Zero commitment is to support the lowcarbon ambitions of our value chain and reduce our scope 3 emissions. To these ends, our programme was also advanced with the Supply Chain team to identify the most carbonintensive goods and services, engage with key suppliers, and incorporate their carbon data into our vendor management system. However, the challenge we face is that, in several of our geographies, key players in carbon-intensive commodities such as steel production are yet to declare the carbon footprint of their products. As expectations for this type of data increase across the wider market, we anticipate this situation will improve, and we will support key suppliers in establishing their respective carbon assessment and reduction programmes.

We also benchmarked our scope 3 programme against the progress being made by our peers. This exercise demonstrated that, in relative terms, we are among the sector leaders.

In 2023, we will continue to enhance our scope 3 assessments. As our confidence in the integrity of the data and our understanding of our value chain's decarbonisation plans grow, we intend to publicly report on our related emissions and to set credible time-bound targets for their reduction.

Supporting community-based environmental initiatives

As an energy services company operating across many geographies, we are often faced with environmental challenges, and work with clients, community groups, and other stakeholders to develop effective solutions to protect the natural environment.

Examples include:

  • In Malaysia, 20 of our team members took part in a public tree planting programme at the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve in Selangor state, supporting Malaysian Environment Day. The initiative supported the Malaysian government's campaign to plant 100 million new trees, and was organised by the Selangor State Forestry Department and several NGOs. On the day, our volunteers planted 90 trees out of a total of 450.
  • In Oman, which is one of the Arab world's most engaged countries in the protection of natural habitats, we became corporate members of the Environmental Society of Oman (ESO). The country's wadis and beaches are home to many rare species of wildlife, but are under threat from persistent plastic waste. To mark Arab Environment Day, we supported ESO with an awareness campaign and several of our people took part in clean-up activities that helped prevent plastic waste from entering the marine ecosystem.

Environmental, Social and Governance continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

• In Thailand, we invited the local community to commemorate both World Environment Day and Father's Day (in June and July respectively) by joining tree planting activities held at Banthung Community Park located nearby to the site of our Thai Oil Clean Fuels Project. We also supported Big Cleaning Days three-times every week in the nearby community to ensure that any dust, debris or waste inadvertently left by project vehicles and workers is cleaned up. Involving our subcontractors as well as our own employees, these regular sessions involve the thorough spraying and washing of roads, refuse collection, and beach clean-ups. In addition, we worked with the local fishing community to install almost 100 fish aggregating devices – used to attract fish and provide food for them.

Reducing our use of water

At various project sites, such as Ain Tsila in Algeria and Qusahwira in the UAE, we introduced wastewater re use initiatives, using treated water for dust control and tree watering.

We also found new ways to reduce the amount of water we use in our projects. At our GC32 project in Kuwait, for instance, we optimised water use during the hydrotesting phase, which saved more than 50,000m³ of fresh water – equivalent to the daily water consumption of 135,000 people in Kuwait.

Phasing out single-use plastics

During 2022, we were successful in phasing out those singleuse plastics that are within our direct control at all our offices and many project sites. Often, these have been home-grown solutions proposed by the onsite project team: on the Ain Tsila project in Algeria, we provided water flasks in the office and installed a compaction facility onsite; at the BAGSF-2 site in Malaysia, we distributed reusable water bottles and food containers; and, on our project sites in India we replaced plastic safety cones with metal barricades, introduced stainless steel utensils and thermo-steel bottles, and provided additional water dispensers.

Introducing more circular economy solutions

We are progressing our target of adopting a circular economy across our sites, with each site required to have a plan in place that focuses on:

  • Designing out engaging our project teams, from our engineers to our supply chain, to 'design out' waste
  • Optimising use exploring ways to use resources for longer, stretching the lifespan of materials and products
  • Recycling more creating opportunities to improve what we recycle, reduce our landfill waste and put more of our 'waste to work'

At the GC32 project site in Kuwait, for example, we encouraged our suppliers to collect and reuse around 5,000 electrical wire and cable drums which, together, weighed around 500 tonnes. At the Visakh project in India, we repurposed around a tonne of waste metal into barricades, signboards, and storage racks. At Qusahwira Phase II project in the UAE we reused old tyres as road barriers and as soil retainers for tree planting.

Progressively reducing our energy use

We continue to find new ways to reduce our energy use and avoid the associated emissions. On the FPF-003 vessel in Thailand, for instance, we replaced fluorescent lamps with LED equivalents, and we also introduced site bicycles on several more of our projects around the world.

We also look at new, more energy-efficient ways of working. A good example is the SNOC project in the UAE, where we would ordinarily have used a barge as part of our operations. Instead, we introduced a 750-tonne crane, which was significantly more energy efficient, and reduced the risk of marine pollution.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures

We are committed to supporting the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This report outlines the progress we have made against the recommendations. We have also built on this programme, integrating it further into our existing risk and governance processes and incorporating the TCFD Good Practice Recommendations from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC)1 .

Governance

Climate change is a material governance and strategic issue that is regularly addressed by our Board and Executive team through strategy and investment discussions, enterprise risk management, and performance review against our commitments.

Our Net Zero Steering Group, which reports to members of the Executive team, and periodically to the Board, provides support, guidance, and oversight of progress on our Net Zero programme. The Steering Group is supported by a TCFD Working Group that monitors and evaluates climate-related risks and opportunities and tracks management actions.

Performance is reported periodically to the Executive team and the Board through bi-monthly key performance indicator (KPI) metrics and regular presentation of related technical and strategic papers.

Informing our strategy

Our strategic risk and opportunity reviews continue to be informed by a range of sector analyses, including the full range of future scenarios developed by the International Energy Agency. The scenarios are used to aid our understanding of how the pace and nature of the energy transition may affect our strategy, and the actions we can take to build resilience and pursue related opportunities.

We actively manage climate-related physical and transition risks, ranging from the increased potential for extreme weather events to disrupt our operations to the evolving policy landscape that may impact the Group, such as carbon taxation or more restrictive emissions legislation.

In 2022 we regularly engaged with policymakers, contributing to their public consultation programmes, offering our expertise, and encouraging all industry stakeholders to support a just transition.

The transition to a lower carbon economy also presents climaterelated risks and opportunities to our business. As well as taking action to meet our Net Zero carbon commitments, we

are rapidly developing our capabilities to unlock value for our clients by helping them to decarbonise their existing operations, and by helping them to plan, build and manage new assets in the offshore wind, hydrogen, CCUS, and waste-to-value market segments. See pages 16-19 for detail on the short-term and long-term market outlook and how our strategy addresses future risks and opportunities.

Climate risk management

Climate-related risks are classified according to the TCFD's risk management framework. This addresses transition and physical risks, such as the evolving policy landscape, the shift to a low-carbon economy, changing stakeholder perceptions and preferences, and risks that are event-driven, such as the increased severity of extreme weather, as well as longer-term shifts in climate patterns.

Issues such as changing energy usage and the shift to a lowcarbon economy are also assessed for the opportunities they create as we look to expand our new energies business.

Assessments are undertaken over three-year and ten-year timeframes to align with business planning and long-term strategic time horizons.

Climate-related risks and opportunities arising out of the energy transition are fed into the enterprise risk management programme and consolidated into our principal and emerging risks, which are reviewed by the Group Risk Committee, endorsed by the Audit Committee, and approved by the Board.

Further detail on the identified climate-related issues and how they affect the business, its strategy and financial planning is set out in our full response to the 11 TCFD recommendations (see pages 38-48).

Metrics and targets

Petrofac is committed to becoming a Net Zero company by 2030, with our Asset Solutions business unit achieving Net Zero by 2025. We have also set decarbonisation targets that support the principles of the Paris Climate Agreement, the UK Government's Net Zero goal, and are aligned with our clients' respective ambitions as the energy sector progressively decarbonises.

We also expect our NES business to grow rapidly and have targeted that, in the medium term, this will account for 20% of our revenues.

In 2022 we continued to develop a carbon intensity ranking for each of our projects and operations. The objective is to benchmark each part of the business, identify examples of good practice, pinpoint areas that require additional work, and hold line managers accountable for meeting local decarbonisation targets. This has proven problematic due to the inherent variability of projects obscuring carbon losses and gains, making it difficult to benchmark the performance of a project located in an area with infrastructure that can facilitate decarbonisation (e.g. EV charging, mature transport links, etc) from one that is remote from enabling infrastructure. As a solution, we opted for targets related to implementing our new decarbonisation guidance, assessing projects' progress undertaking gap analyses, and delivering improvement plans.

Meanwhile, we continue to encourage the adoption of emissions reduction targets among key suppliers. We also continued to assess our Scope 3 emissions, and should be in a position to finalise supply chain engagement targets in 2023 with a focus on the most carbon-intensive goods and services.

Finally, accountability for climate change leadership and decarbonisation continues to be embedded into executive performance measures and remuneration. This means that we are actively incentivising our leadership to accelerate our transition to a low-carbon business.

Committees: Audit, Compliance and Ethics, Nominations and Remuneration. These Committees each have
risk management oversight relevant to their specific areas of responsibility, and where relevant this includes the
management of energy transition and climate risks.
For example, the Audit Committee has delegated responsibility for monitoring and reviewing the integrity and
effectiveness of the Group's overall risk management framework, which covers the management of energy
transition and climate risks.
The Board and its Committees typically meet every two to three months. Climate and energy transition issues
are discussed at each Board meeting.

a) Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the organisation has identified over the short, medium and long term
Our strategic risk and opportunity reviews continue to be informed by
a range of sector analyses, including the full range of future scenarios
developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The following scenarios
are used to aid our understanding of how the pace and nature of the energy
transition may affect our strategy, and the actions we can take to build
resilience and pursue related opportunities:

Low Carbon Future (based on IEA Net Zero by 2050 Scenario) –
characterised by industry alignment with the Paris Agreement, rapid
acceleration to a low-carbon economy, green technology breakthroughs,
and global policy coordination on carbon tax and emissions that
materially reduces fossil fuel use.

Mid-point (based on IEA Announced Pledges Scenario) – characterised
by the announced ambitions and targets (as of September 2022) to
achieve net zero emissions by 2050, with countries fully implementing
their national targets to 2030 and 2050, an acceleration of the low
carbon economy and the enabling global policy framework, market
dynamics and technological progress.

High Carbon Future at more than 3°C (based on IEA Stated Policies
Scenario) – characterised by current policy intentions and targets.
Energy demand rising by 1% per year to 2040, with low-carbon sources,
Relevant time
horizons
In reviewing our strategy, we consider a wide range of opportunities and
risks across two discrete time horizons:

Short-term (0-3 years): defined by detailed business and financial plans,
which are performance managed in delivery of our business plan targets

Medium to long-term (4-10 years medium-term, 10+ years long-term):
given the rapid pace of external change and the wide range of
uncertainties, this time horizon enables us to consider longer-term
scenarios and possible energy transition pathways.
led by solar PV, supplying more than half of this growth, though the
momentum behind clean energy technologies is insufficient to offset the
effects of an expanding global economy and growing population. The
rise in emissions slows, but with no peak before 2040, and the world falls
short of the Paris climate goals.
We actively manage climate-related physical and transition risks, ranging
from the increased potential for environmental and safety incidents to disrupt
our operations (across all time horizons), to the current evolving policy
landscape (short-term horizon) that may impact the Group, such as carbon
taxation or more restrictive emissions legislation.
We reviewed the impact of the EU Green Deal and the Carbon Border
Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) over both short and medium-term horizons,
with CBAM commencing in 2023 and the accompanying charging regime
commencing in 2026 and impacting our EU-based projects.

Impact on strategy, business, and financial planning

The potential implications of climate change and the energy transition building momentum are described in the Market outlook and new energies related sections of this Strategic report.

We review the renewables and low-carbon sectors in depth to identify where our technical expertise and delivery experience would be the most valuable to clients. Based on this analysis, we have aligned our experience in high voltage systems, offshore platforms, gas processing, clean fuels and grey hydrogen to where clients need our ability to integrate and manage risk around large complex capital project delivery. As a result, we are focusing our NES strategy on Offshore Wind, CCUS, Hydrogen, Waste-to-Value, and Emissions Reduction. In the medium term, we are targeting that NES will account for at least 20% (~US\$1 billion targeted) of our revenues.

In addition to advancing new energies, the Group's ambition is to become a Net Zero company by 2030 (scope 1 & 2 emissions).

The Group's current climate change strategy focuses on reducing GHG emissions, investing in low-emission technologies, supporting emission reductions in the value chain and promoting product stewardship, managing climate-related risks and opportunities, and working with others to enhance the global policy and market response.

Petrofac is also progressing a scope 3 emissions programme, engaging our value chain on decarbonisation strategies to enable their low-carbon ambitions.

In 2022, we continued to consider the impact of climate-related issues on our financial planning, for example analysing the likelihood and impact of increased insurance premiums related to extreme weather events, and derisking financial assumptions and contract renewal terms against possible carbon taxation for our producing assets in Malaysia. We aim to further enhance our processes and assurance as we develop a more mature understanding of the risks, opportunities and interdependencies of climaterelated issues on the business.

different climate scenarios into our strategy and financial planning process
to ensure our capital allocation was appropriately aligned with the energy
transition and the evolving risks and opportunities. This included a review
of climate-related issues undertaken by each business unit CFO as part of
the annual financial planning process.
Our analysis and that of others, including the IEA, have shown that across
a range of climate scenarios; from a rapidly decarbonising world (our Paris
aligned 1.5°C Net Zero scenario) to one where only current policy targets
are realised (our high carbon future), the demand by clients for our services
across both traditional O&G and new energies (such as wind, CCUS,

How climate
resilience builds
future viability
Recognising the potential of the transition to occur faster or slower than
anticipated and on different pathways, we retain flexibility in our allocation

climate risks and opportunities.
In FY2022, we regularly reviewed our strategic focus and right-sized
resources to ensure we did not miss investment opportunities due to a lag
in our capability development and service offering. While also calibrating
the speed and development of our low carbon services to better align to
opportunities, client requirements, and the enabling policy frameworks that
support the low carbon transition. This resulted in structural changes such
as the development of our 1tec delivery model, as well as downsizing to
parts of our business.
We have also had to retain flexibility in our net-zero strategy, as lower
than-expected order intake has limited the new opportunities to deploy
decarbonisation at scale, curtailing our transition to a lower carbon
business. In addition, decarbonisation inertia in critical parts of our supply
chain (eg. steel products) has impacted our low carbon delivery strategy.

Why it is important to our business model and strategy

As a service business, it is our people, their attitude and skills who set us apart from our competitors. We are therefore committed to building a diverse workforce, which is representative of the communities in which we operate, while developing all our people, keeping them safe, and looking out for their wellbeing.

Wherever the Company operates, we are committed to creating shared value, by engaging with local communities, investing in local supply chains, employing local people, and stimulating local economies. As well as being the right thing to do, we see the creation of in-country value (ICV) as a source of competitive advantage, helping us to build strong client relationships and bid on challenging projects, while benefiting from the economies of delivering locally.

We operate in challenging environments, where the rights and welfare of workers can sometimes be at risk. We are committed to protecting human rights throughout our business operations and extended supply chain, ensuring that everyone who works with and for us are treated with respect, fairness, and dignity.

Health, safety and security

Whatever their role and wherever they work, we want everyone involved with Petrofac to feel safe, valued, and cared for. Ultimately, our aim is for zero safety incidents, which we see as an entirely realistic goal.

Our overall safety record is among the strongest in the industry and, having emerged from two challenging years dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic, 2022 brought a sustained safety performance across our global operations. The emphasis for the year was to implement our refreshed health, safety, and environment (HSE) strategy, ensuring that the same uncompromising safety culture exists across the entire Group, and the same impeccable standards are applied on every site. As the Group returns to growth, we expect that this commitment will help us to improve on an already strong safety performance, and attention to the wellbeing of employees will be a characteristic of the Petrofac culture.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

A focus for 2022 was the roll-out of a refreshed HSE strategy, which is based around five pillars:

    1. Leadership: the shadow you cast
  • 2.Employee engagement: greater engagement, fewer incidents
  • 3.Contractor management: consistency and performance driven
  • 4.Training: formalise, simplify, and standardise, with a refreshed learner experience
    1. Compliance: do it right, first time

The major themes of the strategy include:

  • Data-2-Decisions using data and analytics from key leading and lagging indicators to define areas of focus and reduce incidents
  • Technology enabled extensive use of mobile technology to increase situational awareness
  • Engagement and communication engaging, insightful, focused and even fun
  • Proactive vs. reactive observations and interventions before an incident occurs
  • Accountability the joint ownership of HSE performance by line management and the HSE function

This began to deliver an improvement on an already strong performance, along with a re-energised approach towards health and safety.

Reflecting on our 2022 performance

Across our main performance indicators, we were pleased to deliver another strong safety performance across the organisation:

  • Zero workplace-related fatalities
  • Lost time injury (LTI) frequency rate remained unchanged at 0.018 per 200,000 work hours, compared to an industry average of 0.044 (International Association of Oil and Gas Producers 2021)
  • Recordable incident frequency rate slightly increased to 0.094 per 200,000 work hours, compared to an industry average of 0.15 (International Association of Oil and Gas Producers 2021)

As well as seeing a reduction in the number and frequency of workplace injuries, there was also a decrease in their severity, with the majority of incidents being classed as minor – typically involving cuts, scrapes, trips and falls.

Preventing serious injuries and ensuring the workplace remains fatality-free remains our number one priority. Driving continues to be an area of exposure. Along with our contractors, our people drive the equivalent of five times around the world each year, often in challenging environments and, in 2022, the total was 59,498,520 km. We therefore stepped up our programme of road safety initiatives, including a total ban on night-time driving for everyone who works for or with our project sites.

Making leadership more visible

With many pandemic-related travel restrictions drawing to a close, it became easier for our leadership teams to demonstrate the Petrofac HSE ethos. With regular site visits from HSE leaders and the Executive team, and daily walkarounds by project leaders, there was a clear and visible commitment to HSE on all of our projects. Our sustained strong set of results in 2022 is testament to us avoiding any lingering effects from the Covid-19 pandemic on our safety performance.

Increasing employee engagement and communication

To deliver on our HSE ambitions, we want the topic to be forever top of mind among the entire workforce. To ensure that our people are proactively and routinely engaged in health and safety, we introduced a number of digital and mobile tools. For example:

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

  • HSE dashboards all employees are given access, via their mobile phones, to real-time safety performance, which is available at the project, country, and business unit level. This helps us to raise awareness of our safety performance, demonstrate that everyone at every level is accountable, and keep the entire organisation focused on improving performance.
  • HSE observation reporting tool a mobile app, available to all employees, enabling them to report any safety observations, both good and bad, via their mobile phones. In 2022, we saw a 470% increase in the reporting of safety observations, with over 140,000 observations reported. This new app helps us to keep employees engaged, as well as providing useful insights and leading indicators of potential issues.
  • HSE social networking we use the Yammer platform to host an HSE social networking dialogue, which involves everyone in the HSE team and is open to anyone in the Company. With more than 350 active members, this is the second most active such group in Petrofac.
  • Driving improvement app we replaced many of our in-vehicle monitoring systems with a mobile app, available to all employees. As well as keeping track of their driving behaviour, allocating a score, and providing personalised road safety advice, it enables everyone to see how their driving performance compares to their colleagues.

Keeping a focus on health and wellbeing

One of the dividends of the pandemic was an increased focus on employee wellbeing, and this was stepped up further in 2022. We delivered several all-employee health webinars and internal campaigns covering both physical and mental health, which generated high levels of engagement across all of our offices and project sites globally. The webinars included sessions on: Eat Healthy Stay Healthy, Positive Mental Health Practices, Ramadan Health, Heart Health, Mental Health Awareness, and Breast Cancer. Meanwhile, the internal campaigns included: Cut the Sugar Challenge, Sharjah Family Health Day, World Happiness Day, Health and Safety Day stretching programme, Heat Stress, a blood donation campaign, and a flu awareness campaign.

In addition, our Company Doctor runs an online Wellness Wednesday programme for all employees. A campaign was launched to ensure that all our onsite employees have a regular medical examination, and everyone is encouraged to participate in exercise and fitness sessions, such as yoga and cycling.

We also extended our mental health awareness initiatives. After successfully piloting our approach in the UK, we rolled the initiative out in Sharjah, where 24 newly trained Mental Health First Aiders helped us to draw attention to mental health issues and reduce the stigma that traditionally surrounded them. By having dedicated and knowledgeable people to talk to, our employees can feel safe discussing their concerns and experiences. The aim is that any emerging issues can be addressed and resolved before they become severe.

Improving situational awareness and increasing employee engagement remain key deliverables of our HSE strategy. We are delighted to have delivered a year free of work-related fatalities in 2022."

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Awareness PetrofacGo Observation App

  • A new digital tool
  • Increases awareness
  • 11,957 observations within the first eight months
  • Engages more employees

Right across Petrofac, we have been introducing mobile and digital technologies to help us work better, faster, and smarter.

Through our award-winning platforms, like Petrolytics and Connected Worker, we have digitalised our services, saving clients time and money. With our new Emissions Dashboard we have increased the visibility of environmental factors and brought them into the dayto-day decision process of our clients. We have also been using mobile and digital solutions to improve our internal operations and achieve our strategic focus on best-in-class delivery.

Whatever their role and wherever they work, we want everyone involved with Petrofac to feel safe, valued, and cared for – and that means we put a big emphasis on all HSEQ topics.

We already have a strong safety culture, we perform well ahead of industry norms, and we are determined that Petrofac should be among the safest places to work in any industry or region.

We therefore want HSE to always be top-of-mind for everyone. To this end, in 2022, we introduced a new PetrofacGo Observation App, asking every employee to download it to their mobile devices, and share at least two HSE-related observations with the Company every month.

The observations can be good or bad – good hygiene behaviour, for example, or a trip hazard in an office. Either way, they help us to keep employees engaged, celebrate a strong safety culture, and give us early warning of potential issues."

LYNN HOBBALLAH Global Head of Health and Safety

Evolving our HSE training programmes

We renewed our commitment to HSE training, with an emphasis on engaging and interactive training techniques, as well as continuing professional development. During 2022, 12 of our HSE team members enrolled in the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) General Certificate programme, and more than 50 employees became certified mental health trainers.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Setting out our 2023 priorities

For 2023, we will continue to embed our five-pillared HSE strategy and, with a busy bidding pipeline, we will put renewed emphasis on project start-up preparations. We will be implementing Start Strong campaigns on all new E&C projects, which set the tone and ensure that a strong safety culture is established from the outset. Given that the majority of onsite personnel are not directly employed by Petrofac, we will also focus on contractor management, including Contractor Safety Forums at all new projects and Safety Hotspot training for their respective employees.

SECURITY AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT

Remaining responsive to a fast-changing security environment

Petrofac works in challenging environments with fast-changing security issues. Our aim is to protect our employees and assets in a responsible manner, and to prevent any security-related disruption.

Our security and crisis management teams are closely integrated into the wider HSE community. Our Security and Crisis Management Policies set out the responsibilities of our senior management team and our business units.

Refreshing and renewing

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, and in response to the changing geopolitical situation, the Security and Crisis Management function continued to review approaches in our existing projects and incorporate the lessons learnt around digital and remote working technologies.

We also took on board valuable lessons learnt during the pandemic. Our traditional three-tier crisis management system was evolved into a fully digital platform, bringing new efficiencies, and reducing the burden on any teams working in a crisis situation.

Looking ahead to 2023

The focus for 2023 is to support teams working in new and potentially challenging geographies, such as the recent contract awards in Africa and Gulf of Mexico. Given the healthy bidding pipeline, we also expect to support an increase in project delivery in our traditional core markets.

CYBER-SECURITY AND DATA PROTECTION

Remaining vigilant and bringing incremental improvements

Given the rapidly evolving cyber-security risks, and to support Petrofac's wider digitalisation initiatives, cyber-security and data protection continued to be an area of focus.

Increasingly, our cyber-security disciplines and protections are audited by clients and regulatory bodies, and in all cases, we met or exceeded their requirements.

During 2022, in response to the increased complexity and frequency of cyber-attacks across the commercial world, we re-evaluated our controls, particularly those related to our cloudbased platforms and applications, and continued to monitor and address any supply chain risks. Meanwhile, we continued to align our information security management practice with the ISO27001 standard and other best practices.

Related initiatives included:

  • Enhancing our internal awareness programmes, with particular attention on the risks posed by phishing and social engineering, drawing attention to the increased sophistication of such attacks, while also running simulation tests and enhancing our related controls
  • Continuing to enhance our threat detection and threathunting capabilities
  • Continuing the assessment of cyber-security risks with regular vulnerability assessments, penetration tests and Red Team exercises

Meanwhile, cyber-security remained a key priority in all our digitalisation initiatives, and we ensure that appropriate security protection is embedded from the initial idea and conceptual phases.

QUALITY AND ASSET INTEGRITY

An important part of the ethos at Petrofac is to ensure that we operate predictably and efficiently, and the energy facilities we design, build, and operate are inherently operable and safe and they meet or exceed their operational purpose. A disciplined approach to both quality and asset integrity are therefore embedded into the way we work.

QUALITY

At Petrofac, our quality strategy responds to the rapidly changing operating environment we work in. We apply a disciplined and consistent approach to quality management and aim for continual improvement. In addition to the Petrofac values, our Quality team focuses on three additional values: to be consistent, client-focused, and diligent in the work they perform.

Beyond compliance

Since it was first established in 1995, our robust Quality Management System and ISO9001 certification has helped us to build long-standing client relationships. It also reflects our ability to provide a quality of service that meets customer expectations as well as regulatory requirements.

Looking ahead to 2023

In 2023, we will refresh our quality strategy to focus more on issue prevention, to become even faster on issue resolution at the times we encounter defects, and to drive continuous improvement within our project delivery.

Initiatives planned for the year include: to design a new, best-inclass, Group-wide lessons learnt platform; to establish a Global Management System; to improve our inspections processes; and to further reduce our projects' costs by improving our processes.

ASSET INTEGRITY

We generally work with high-hazard facilities. Maintaining the right mindset, backed up by disciplined processes and controls, is therefore critical to our success – as well as the safety of our people and our clients.

In 2022, the Group was responsible for managing and ensuring the integrity of 14 operating assets as the Installation Operator, as well as seven separate portfolios of wells as the Well Operator.

In 2022, a significant recognition of our capability in managing high-hazard assets was the award by the Australian Government's Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources for the contract to take over operatorship of the Northern Endeavour FPSO. This involves the safe and environmentally sound decommissioning and removal of the FPSO and its associated infrastructure.

Meanwhile, in the UK North Sea, we worked to enable the operation of the Anasuria FPSO to be taken over by its new owner, the Anasuria Operating Company. We are providing the necessary people and processes as part of a new five-year Integrated Services Provider contract.

We also embarked on new decommissioning operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Here, our expertise in safely managing assets, especially late-life assets, will enable us to make safe nine offshore platforms and 200 wells as part of their decommissioning.

Our asset integrity work also informs our wider operations, including our approach to designing, building, commissioning, and completing projects. With a renewed demand among clients for integrated service offerings, our asset integrity expertise positions Petrofac to provide more managed integrity services.

Reflecting on our 2022 performance

In evaluating our asset integrity performance, our main area of focus is managing process safety hazards, reducing highpotential incidents (HiPos) and those incidents that involve process safety procedures.

In 2022, as in 2021, we had no HiPos that could have had escalating, process safety-related outcomes. However, we did conduct a small number of serious investigations into possible precursors of a failure to follow asset integrity procedures.

Getting value from our suite of digital tools

As with other areas of the HSE function and the wider business, we extended our use of digital tools during 2022. These help us to maintain our leadership commitment to asset integrity, engage more of our people with the value created, refine and simplify our asset integrity KPIs, and extend the learnings from our regular programme of investigations and audits.

These included:

  • Asset integrity dashboard we continued to develop this KPI monitoring tool to enable clearer focus on cumulative asset integrity risks.
  • Remote asset integrity reviews while the end of Covid-19 restrictions enabled a return to physical site reviews we adopted a blended approach, continuing to conduct part of the review remotely. This employs remote methodology using digital records, video conferencing and real-time camera tours of sites that have sufficient connectivity.
  • Connected Worker digital workflows were developed for key process safety processes using our Connected Worker technologies. This enabled us to streamline the execution of processes as well as the way they are monitored by supervisory teams.

Going forward, and enabled by meaningful real-time data, these tools will enable us to target our assurance activities more efficiently, based on an accurate and up-to-date understanding of the true condition of each asset.

People

From the people perspective, 2022 was a busy year for Petrofac.

A return to higher oil prices resulted in a much tighter labour market across the global energy industry and, given the quality of our teams, we had to work hard to retain talent, and ensure that our people feel engaged and appreciated. Meanwhile, as we prepare for growth, we introduced several new talent acquisition initiatives and externally hired more than 2,300 people in a very competitive labour market.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

• Voluntary attrition levels were higher than we would have liked, at 14.3%. Overall, employment levels fell to 7,950 people, representing a 3% decrease on 2021.

Preparing the Group for sustained growth

One of Petrofac's key strategic themes is to return to growth and, given the increase in bidding activity throughout 2022, we introduced several new talent acquisition initiatives, such as:

• Appointing a new Head of Global Talent Acquisition We appointed our first Global Head of Talent Acquisition. With overall responsibility for all recruitment at Petrofac, she is charged with improving the candidate experience, enhancing the employee value proposition, improving our recruitmentrelated social media activity, and building our employer brand.

• Adding a new careers portal to petrofac.com

To support our talent acquisition drive, we introduced a new careers portal to petrofac.com. This helps us demonstrate that, besides offering rewarding work and good career prospects, Petrofac is a people-based business that cares deeply about personal and professional development, has a culture that embraces diversity, and is a leader in safeguarding the safety and wellbeing of our people.

  • Reflecting the communities in which we operate Another Petrofac characteristic is our local delivery model. We want our teams to be representative of the communities in which we operate, and the recruitment of local nationals was an important theme of our 2022 recruitment activity. We hired 39 Omanis, taking us to an all-time high of 259 Omani employees. We also hired 16 Emirati nationals taking us to a total of 68 Emiratis by year end. Several local team members were also hired to support our operations in Algeria, Libya, Lithuania, and Thailand.
  • Welcoming former employees back to Petrofac One of our most successful recruitment initiatives was to proactively contact many of our former employees and encourage them to return to Petrofac – which is something that around 200 people chose to do (see page 57).

• Helping engineers overcome career break bias

We formed a partnership with the UK-based scheme, STEM Returners, to help engineers get back into work after a career break. The aim is to source people with skills across multiple engineering disciplines, offer them fully paid placements in our Aberdeen offices, and help them reintegrate into an inclusive work environment. As well as helping us to identify people with demonstrable skills and life experience, this scheme also helps us to promote diversity and inclusion.

• Attracting and developing the next generation of engineers

Creating a new generation of talent is another priority for the Group. We restarted our UK-based graduate scheme, appointing around 20 newly qualified engineers, half of whom are women.

Environmental, Social and Governance continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Making more progress on diversity and inclusion

In 2022, we further increased our focus on diversity and inclusion, building on past achievements, introducing new initiatives, and achieving recognition for our progress.

Although we have a long way to go, we are committed to being a more diverse company, which embraces differing perspectives, is representative of the communities in which we operate, and provides equal opportunities to all employees and job applicants.

Key developments and achievements include:

• Achieving a better gender balance

Given the nature of our business and the location of many of our operations, achieving a better gender balance is a challenge.

One focus is our senior management positions. In 2022, women accounted for 26% of our senior managers, up from 6% in 2018. We have a target to reach 30% of women in senior management by 2025.

As well as building diversity from within, we mandate that at least one woman is included on the final interview shortlist for all external recruitment into middle and senior management roles. Since 2020, the proportion of women recruited externally into senior management roles has increased from 6% to 21% in 2022. As a result, we were able to appoint several highly qualified women to senior level positions in 2022, such as Group Head of Talent Acquisition, Group Head of Quality, and Group Head of Environment and Sustainability.

Across the Group as a whole, the proportion of women employees increased from 8% in 2018 to 15% by the close of 2022 – which is a move in the right direction.

• Giving voice to diverse viewpoints

To ensure that the Company hears and engages with a wider spectrum of viewpoints, we added to the number of global Employee Network Groups.

In 2021, we established a Women's Group, called SHINE, which now has almost 400 members, and an LGBTQ+ Group, called Pride, with 80 members. Both are sponsored by an Executive team member, provide a safe space for under-represented groups to share experiences of working in the energy sector, offer mentoring opportunities, and host sessions to increase confidence and promote development.

Both groups have been successful, as reflected by the fact that they won the Diversity & Inclusion Initiative of the Year category at the 2022 UK Engineering Construction Industry Training and Development Awards.

Building on this experience, we introduced two new Employee Network Groups in 2022. One, called Aspire, is for young professionals, to help them build connections within the Group, exchange experiences, understand training and development programmes, and access mentoring opportunities. The second, called Engage, is for older workers, to help them explore how they may want their career to evolve, when and whether they may want to consider a phased move into retirement, how the Company can make better use of their experience, and the type of encouragement and mentoring they can offer to younger employees.

  • Supporting employees affected by menopause In 2022, we signed up to the Menopause Workplace Pledge. This means that we are committed to taking positive action to support employees going through menopause.
  • Putting even more emphasis on Emiratisation Active in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for 30 years, Petrofac has major centres in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah which, together, are home to around 3,000 people. In line with our local delivery ethos, and the UAE Government's Emiratisation agenda, we are keen to employ more local nationals at every level of the organisation. However, with Emiratis making up just 10% of the total UAE population and occupying 1% of its private sector jobs, this can be a challenge.

We are already an acknowledged leader – for example, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation recently ranked Petrofac as the best private sector company in the energy industry for Emiratisation, and third overall, just behind the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and the Emirates National Oil Company. We also appointed our first ever Emiratisation Manager in 2022.

This role will work closely with our Talent Acquisition team to source more local Emirati talent, and we now have our highest number of Emirati employees at 68. They will also work with our Emirati staff to provide coaching and mentoring, and discuss career development opportunities.

Embedding our new operating model

As part of the rebalancing and reshaping of Petrofac, a new operating model was established. As part of this, a single technical services and assurance function, called 1tec, was created, which brings together all of Petrofac's engineering knowledge, insights, and experience, and ensures they are applied to every project and assignment anywhere in the world.

A communications programme was launched to help embed the new ways of working, and explain how 1tec is set up to collaborate with colleagues from across the Group, and provide clients with consistent and predictable service.

Investing in training and development

We continued to evolve our training and professional development programmes, including our early career education initiatives, our Leadership Excellence Programme and our Petrofac Academy online distance learning programmes.

Highlights of the year included:

• Welcoming back our second cohort of Master's graduates

In 2020, one of the ways we responded to the Covid-19 pandemic was to work with the American University of Beirut to sponsor a first-of-its-kind Master's programme

,

in Engineering Management. We offered talented young engineers the opportunity to join the programme, with Petrofac paying tuition fees and covering subsistence costs. The first cohort of 46 students graduated in 2021, with the second cohort graduating in 2022.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

• Participating in Oman's prestigious Etimad programme Five of Petrofac's Omani female employees completed the 2022 Etimad National Leadership Programme. Aligned with Oman's Vision 2040 development programme, this prestigious country-wide initiative is intended to help transform the Sultanate into one of the world's most developed nations.

In total, around 200 Omanis nationwide were selected to participate from across different sectors, such as technology, communications, transportation, logistics, construction, and energy. The three-month programme sharpens the leadership and supervisory skills of Omani nationals in middle and senior management positions working in the private sector.

Focusing on employee engagement

We have a number of mechanisms and programmes to support and monitor employee engagement, build on strengths and address concerns. For example:

• Maintaining an open, two-way conversation

One of the ways we engage with and hold conversations with our workforce is our Petrofac Workforce Forum. Established in 2019, the Petrofac Workforce Forum (PWF) builds on the framework set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code. Meeting with the Board and the Executive team twice a year, the PWF comprises 12 employee representatives from across the Group.

The PWF enables the Board and the Executive team to understand the mood of the workforce, better understand their ideas, concerns, and perspective, ascertain what it is about Petrofac that motivates and engages them, plus allows them to ask questions of the Board. 2022 marked the end of the three-year term of the first PWF representatives, and company-wide elections were held early in the year for the

second term. It is seen as a successful initiative and has a high profile across the Group.

• Keeping track of attitudes and opinions

Each year we ask our employees to participate in PetroVoices, our confidential employee engagement survey, run by an independent third party (Willis Towers Watson). In 2022, the participation rate increased from 65% to 67%, the Sustainable Engagement score increased from 84% to 86%. In fact, the scores for all ten main categories improved year-on-year.

We are charging all senior leaders to produce action plans for the top three topics in their respective areas. These plans will be reviewed by the leadership team with a view to implementing improvements throughout 2023.

Recognising and rewarding our people

It is important to Petrofac that all our people are appropriately rewarded. Wherever we operate, we want to be seen as a good employer, offering competitive rates and conditions. Irrespective of their role, location, or seniority, we want all our people to enjoy dignified working conditions and a decent standard of living.

Recent initiatives include the introduction of a new recognition scheme, total reward statements for employees, and reduced working hours in the UAE. In 2022, 578 employees received a monetary recognition reward, and several additional changes came into force – such as enhanced healthcare benefits for employees in the UAE and improved Life Insurance packages for employees in India.

Meanwhile, in the UK, we followed through on a commitment we made in 2021 to pay at least the Real Living Wage to all employees. In 2022, we were therefore accredited by the Real Living Wage Foundation which, each year, calculates the hourly wage that a UK family needs to live on, based on the cost of a basket of household goods and services. This wage is considerably higher than statutory requirements. Importantly, the commitment extends to all UK-based employees and also covers indirect employees, such as temporary or agency staff, as well as any interns or placements.

Returning to the Petrofac fold

Given our plans for a return to growth, combined with the tight labour market and the intense competition for skills and experience across the energy sector, we need to be determined and creative with our talent acquisition approaches.

One initiative that was particularly successful in 2022 was to proactively contact a number of former employees and ask them whether they would consider a return to Petrofac.

Overwhelmed by the positive response, we welcomed more than 200 people back to the Company. We enjoyed particular success in our engineering hubs in India as we ramp-up for expected contract wins.

It's good for them, as they have been able to return to a working environment and a culture which, by definition, they liked and missed.

It's also good for the Company. After all, these are people we already know, and who already know the Company, its ethos, and systems, and can hit the ground running. And, having experienced the reality of leaving us and working for other companies in the sector, they tend to be very strong advocates of Petrofac among their fellow employees.

PEOPLE

Diversity Employee Network Groups

  • 4 groups now established
  • A voice to under-represented groups
  • Won a major award
  • Providing a safe space

Petrofac is committed to building a diverse workforce, which is representative of the communities in which we operate. We have made some ambitious commitments to increasing equality, diversity, and inclusion (ED&I). One of the ways we have given a voice to diverse viewpoints is our Employee Network Groups.

We recognise that Petrofac works in an industry where women and members of LGBTQ+ groups are under-represented. So, when we set up our first two Employee Network Groups in 2021, we focused on women and our LGBTQ+ colleagues.

The aim was to provide safe spaces where people can network, problemsolve and mentor each other. The groups grew rapidly, with almost 400 people in SHINE, the women's group, and 80 in PRIDE, the LGBTQ+ group. They also led to tangible changes in the way we operate – like more support for people returning from maternity leave and the introduction of a new menopause policy.

In 2022, we won an Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Initiative of the Year award at the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board Awards. We also set up two additional groups – Engage, for people who are well-established in their career, and Aspire, for those in the early years of their career.

To ensure that Employee Network Groups are a forum for change, each one has a sponsor from the Executive team. They are expected to ensure that initiatives are supported and represented at the highest level. I think most people would agree that we've become a more open and empathetic company as a result."

ANNA DOUGLAS Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion

Community engagement

Making a positive contribution to our local communities

Our local delivery model is a key differentiator for Petrofac and, wherever we work, our aim is for local communities to benefit from our presence. We therefore engage with local stakeholders to better understand and manage the social impacts of our business, address any concerns they may have about our work, and maximise the benefits we are able to bring to their communities.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Stakeholder engagement is one of the pillars of our Petrofac Social Performance Framework, which consists of our Social Performance Standards and a set of guidelines that enable us to meet the commitments set out in the Petrofac Code of Conduct, Petrofac Environmental Policy and Diversity and Inclusion Policy. The framework begins with social assessment, followed by community engagement, grievance management and social investment.

A disciplined approach to social investment

We have a formal social investment strategy and a set of guidelines to ensure our activities create value for both Petrofac and the recipients, are conducted in compliance with our Code of Conduct, and are subject to rigour and transparency.

These guidelines explain that our social investment initiatives should be aligned with three priorities:

    1. Promote STEM education, and improve educational access and employability.
    1. Contribute to community improvement, capacity building and disaster relief.
    1. Support a just transition, as the energy sector evolves and reduces its carbon intensity.

Any initiatives that we support are subject to a formal due diligence and regular review process overseen by our Compliance teams. Following the launch of the updated guidelines in 2021, we began the process of embedding them across the business, including training for country managers and project managers, and this process will continue in 2023.

In 2022, as part of strengthening our wider HSE and Quality team, we created a new Sustainability Manager role. Having previously served Petrofac as Lead Civil and Structural Engineer, the new Sustainability manager has a good understanding of the inner workings of the Company and its sustainability impacts. One of her focus areas is social investment.

A round-up of our 2022 investments and initiatives

Apart from the dedicated Corporate and Social Responsibility representatives across our global operations, several of our employees – who are passionate about the environment and social issues – generously volunteer their time to help with our social investment activity. Initiatives from around the Petrofac world in 2022 include:

• Algeria – supporting our local communities

Our Tinrhert project teams assisted the nearby village of Ohanet. They donated provisions for around 500 school children, such as school bags, books, and stationery, and sponsored an educational field trip to a local airstrip. Waste wood and other building materials were also donated to the local community to use in their homes and farms, for example as fencing.

Demonstrating our commitment to inclusion, we also sponsored Algeria's National Wheelchair Basketball Association, which is seen as a leader in the sport and has won multiple national and international awards. The contribution is directed at promoting sports to young people with different abilities and challenges.

  • Australia supporting community initiatives With the scale of our Australian operations ramping up, we contributed to several community initiatives, including the Movember men's health campaign and the annual Salvation Army Christmas Appeal.
  • India supporting women's education and employability There is a regulatory requirement for us to spend at least a proportion of our net profit in India on social investments, equating to an investment of approximately US\$145,000 in 2022.

Environmental, Social and Governance continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

We continued to work with local charities and contributed to several projects which provide support to schools for blind children, orphaned children, and those from underprivileged families. This included the provision of food, school supplies, bicycles, a new drinking water system, a solar power solution complete with streetlights, new toilet facilities, and other such upgrades.

Continuing our efforts to support STEM education, we provided training to around 2,000 11-to-18-year-olds in Mumbai's government schools, helping them to build skills in problem solving and IT. We also extended our support for the PanIIT Alumni Reach for India Foundation (PARFI), supporting a one-year manufacturing technician training programme for 27 young women from disadvantaged communities to prepare them for employment opportunities. In addition, we provided scholarships to several promising young adults enabling them to attend university.

Other initiatives included support for a range of environmental causes, including a forest plantation project, the refurbishment of a potable water source, conservation of honeybees, and the restoration of the grounds of a TB hospital.

• Oman – investing in local facilities

We partnered with our client, OQ8, on social investment projects nearby to our Duqm project. This included a US\$78,000 contribution, along with our JV partner Samsung, to an uplift initiative, which enabled the local community to construct a new venue for its traditional Friday market.

Petrofac hosted a two-day training workshop in December 2022 to upskill and develop 15 Omani young nationals considering a career in new energy industries, as part of our partnership with the Oman Hydrogen Centre. The aim is to support the Sultanate of Oman in building its capabilities in the renewable energy sector.

• Thailand – being an active member of the local community

In the Ban Thung and Ban Ao-Udom communities, adjacent to our Thai Oil refinery project, several community relations and youth development projects were sponsored. PPE was also distributed as part of the area's Covid-19 defences.

We supported several 'Big Cleaning' events, partnering with the community representatives to clean up neglected areas. Petrofac employees also regularly engaged with the local community by hosting cultural events during festivals and visiting families to donate gift hampers.

• UAE – supporting STEM education and research We continued to support STEM education at the American University of Sharjah through a formal Institutional Advancement Partnership. This included the support of several key events during the academic year, such as an alumni reunion dinner, an open day at the College of Engineering, and an environmental open day. We also helped the university to deliver a specialist boot camp course for aspiring engineering students – an Explore, Design and Build, Mechanical Engineering Boot Camp.

• UK – demonstrating our commitments to diversity and wellbeing

Several of our UK community engagement initiatives demonstrated our commitment to diversity and wellbeing. We sponsored the Grampian Pride event, with members of our Pride Employee Network Group participating in the parade and running a stall. We also sponsored the Alba Development Road Team, Scotland's only elite all-female cycling team based in Aberdeen.

Meanwhile, our Great Yarmouth office made a donation to the Trust STEM Hub, a project which aims to enhance the delivery of STEM education across the local area, and a donation to the East Anglia Air Ambulance service.

Generating economic value in-country

Wherever Petrofac operates, we are committed to creating shared value by employing local people, supporting local supply chains, developing local capabilities, and stimulating local economies.

As well as being the right thing to do, we see the creation of in-country value (ICV) as a source of competitive advantage. It enables our local delivery model, helping us to bid on challenging projects, keep costs down, improve the quality and capability of local vendors and supply chains, and build stronger and enduring relationships with local stakeholders.

Alongside shareholder and client value, we regard ICV as one of the most important outcomes of our business model. We therefore aim to make a positive and measurable contribution to the economies in which we operate.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Support Partnership with the American University of Sharjah

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

  • Promoting STEM education
  • A focus on renewable energy
  • Backing the Renewable Energy Research Center
  • Delivering Mechanical Engineering Boot Camps

Given the nature of our business and the skills shortage across our sector, much of our community engagement and social investment activity promotes STEM education, and improves educational access and employability.

In several countries, such as Algeria and Oman, we operate national training centres, working with the energy industry to fill skills gaps and bring world-class education to local populations. We also support charitable skills and training initiatives for underprivileged people, including our projects in India.

In some countries, we also enter into formal partnerships with universities and other educational establishments. A good example is our long-standing partnership with the American University of Sharjah.

We continued to support STEM education at the American University of Sharjah, with a particular emphasis on the energy transition.

The university's Renewable Energy Research Center, established in 2017, is backed by Petrofac, and supports 12 faculty members and research staff assistants working on new energies initiatives, such as the remote monitoring of large solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, and the design and build of a solar-powered quadrotor – a type of drone or unmanned aerial vehicle.

We also sponsor a Research Chair in Renewable Energy and support several university events such as its open day, careers fair, and an environmental day. A highlight from 2022 was helping the Department of Mechanical Engineering to deliver free Mechanical Engineering Boot Camps to 15-to-18-year -olds from across the United Arab Emirates.

When we designed the boot camp, we wanted students to understand that mechanical engineering can be fascinating and fun. Imagine what it would feel like to still be in high school but learn to 3D print a quadcopter or produce renewable energy. By engaging students in these exciting projects, we were able to build their critical thinking and communication skills while teaching them how to work within a team. We offered them an unforgettable campus experience."

Formalising our ICV delivery strategy

The creation of ICV has always been a hallmark of our approach. We have enhanced and extended our commitment with a formal ICV strategy based on four levers:

  • Employing and developing a world-class national workforce – strengthening our local teams, making them more representative of communities they work in, and enhancing our in-country delivery capabilities
  • Building the capacity and technical capability of local suppliers – understanding the capabilities of local supply chains, supporting skills development, and promoting technology transfers
  • Sourcing goods and services locally reducing our reliance on international supply chains, matching local suppliers with project opportunities, and improving our efficiencies
  • Investing in our local presence and host communities – ensuring that our community engagement initiatives support our local operations, and are closely aligned with our strategic priorities (see pages 24 and 25)

A three-year implementation plan was agreed, along with key performance indicators for each of the pillars. We also agreed targets against each metric that are aligned to the national priorities and position Petrofac as sector-leading in our local delivery.

Supporting local economies

In 2022, just taking into account our major non-joint venture projects (as listed on page 71), where we have direct control over procurement and subcontracting, we purchased almost US\$345 million worth of goods and services locally, and supported over 30,000 jobs at our project sites.

The proportion of locally-sourced goods and services decreased to 32% in 2022, down from 54% in 2021. Despite our best efforts, supply chain disruptions and the impact on the availability of goods and services, combined with the limited opportunities to procure certain high-tech equipment in some new

geographies, have all impacted our ability to purchase locally. Notwithstanding, we continued to build the capability of our supply chain and invest in our local presence.

Indicative examples from across our operations include:

Algeria

Petrofac's commitment to Algeria is reflected in the scale and nature of our in-country operations. A full-service engineering centre in Algiers is supplemented by a busy operations hub in Hassi Messaoud. In 2022, we prioritised the development of various partnership models with the Sonatrach Group of companies and were the first international company to sign an EPC delivery partnership with a local Sonatrach affiliate (the GCB company). We continued to enhance our Algerian resourcing, meaning that, across all locations, more than 80% of workers were Algerian nationals. We also recruited another 30 full-time Algerian employees, as well as expanding our leadership and career development programmes targeting high-potential Algerian staff.

To further increase the proportion of Algerian nationals working on our projects, we set up a new contracting framework and programme which increases local market participation and opportunities through the project contract, tendering and contract award process, and integrated 15 new companies into our bids.

For 2023, we will continue to build on various initiatives with Sonatrach to firm up new contracting models based on framework agreements that further improve local content levels during execution. We will also increase the number of Algerian suppliers in our database and carry out qualifications to ensure local suppliers are promoted for use on future projects.

Australia

In 2022, we built on the ICV implementation programme initiated in 2021, making significant progress in supply chain capability building to support the Northern Endeavour project, our first large integrated decommissioning contract. Supply chain capability

gaps were identified, and we worked with local suppliers and subcontractors to meet project requirements and maximise local delivery. We put project-specific supply chain action plans in place and used an online database of indigenous suppliers. This ensured that we were always able to identify and work with suitably qualified indigenous businesses.

In addition, project-specific Indigenous Participation Plans were developed to ensure we exceeded the required levels of Indigenous Participation. We also incorporated these requirements into third-party contracts, encouraging our subcontractors to increase the level of purchasing from indigenous enterprises and maximise the employment of indigenous people.

Looking forward, we plan to invest in further growth, including supporting the training and development of local personnel, developing a graduate intake plan, continuing to partner with indigenous suppliers, and enhancing local development with a targeted social investment programme focused on the communities adjacent to our projects.

India

In 2022, we extended the capability of our local teams, enabling them to operate almost self-sufficiently throughout a project execution cycle. This means that our Indian offices can now act as an operations hub for bids in India and further afield. We also focused on locally driven business development, strong partnerships with key stakeholders, and the sourcing of additional local suppliers and vendors. Once again, we were close to 100% local content on all our Indian projects, except for critical and licensor-mandated imported items.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

For 2023, we aim to further build our local capacity against current and future business needs, and to draw on strategic local partnerships when executing projects in India.

Oman

In Oman, where we have a long history of formal ICV programmes, we reviewed the national government's latest ICV priorities and updated our ICV implementation plan accordingly. The revised plan, sponsored by our newly appointed Country Chair, covers the four ICV levers: nationalisation, supply chain capacity building, local purchasing, and investment.

We also moved into 2,000 square metres of newly refurbished offices, located in Muscat, which are intended to facilitate the next stage of Petrofac's in-country growth in Oman. Hosting more than 200 team members from Petrofac and client organisations, the facility includes a range of environmentally friendly technologies, enabling us to reduce local energy consumption by 35%.

Other highlights of the year included:

  • A review of the ICV plans from previous projects, to identify any demand/supply gaps and develop a supply chain action plan
  • Partnership arrangements with five additional small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to support capacity building and develop project-relevant capabilities
  • Strengthening Omani middle management and enhancing gender-equal opportunities, including appointing a talent manager, talent mapping of existing staff to development opportunities, and the delivery of over 2,000 hours of training
  • Establishing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Oman Hydrogen Centre (OHC) to collaborate on building capabilities in Oman's renewable energy sector, particularly in green hydrogen

UAE

We have been active in the Emirates for more than 30 years, and have major centres in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah which, together, are home to around 1,800 employees. In addition, our Sharjah office serves as an operational hub for many of our projects, and we routinely source goods and execute largescale fabrication works in the UAE for export to our clients worldwide.

In 2022, we implemented a wide-ranging stakeholder review and ICV improvement programme involving the Executive team and department heads. The aim is to ensure that our ICV strategy is effectively embedded across our entire UAE operations. Priorities that were identified and are being progressed in 2023 include: expanding our presence in Abu Dhabi, stakeholder plans focused on creating differentiated strategic partnerships across our local value chain, resource capacity building and development, and mentorship programmes.

In 2023, we aim to further increase our Emirati headcount, promoting further gender parity and empowerment of local female staff, and to accelerate the development of our middle management teams.

Making a significant contribution to public finances

Through the taxes we pay, Petrofac makes a significant contribution to the public finances of the local economies in which we operate.

The total amount paid to governments in 2022 was US\$170 million, comprising corporate income tax, employment taxes, and other forms of tax and social security contributions.

Human Rights

Respecting human rights across our supply chain

We strive to protect and respect human rights throughout our business operations and extended supply chain.

Our commitments are set out in our Code of Conduct, and we work in accordance with our Social Performance Framework, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization. We are also proud of our long-term commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and disclose annually our progress against its Ten Principles.

However, we acknowledge that the nature of our global operations and the type of geographies we work in at times present human rights risks. Our main exposure is in the extensive supply chains of our large EPC projects, particularly the labour practices of subcontractors and the recruitment agents and brokers they use.

Environmental, Social and Governance continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Evaluating our performance

Each year, we assess our operations for human rights issues and take a risk-based approach to addressing any incidents of modern slavery related to forced and bonded labour, worker welfare infringements, and other labour rights abuses. This review is detailed in our annual Modern Slavery Statement, published in accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, which outlines the steps taken in respect to human rights. This can be found on our website at petrofac.com.

All third-party suppliers are required to undergo mandatory human rights and labour rights due diligence screening as part of prequalification onto our vendor management system. Furthermore, they are required to read and commit to Petrofac's Labour Rights and Worker Welfare Standard. We promote early engagement and encourage suppliers to undertake screening on registration, ahead of prequalification. In 2022, for example, the number of new and existing suppliers within the E&C business unit, that were positively screened and approved, reached 36% (1,911 out of 5,349), up from 32% (1,475 out of 4,543) in 2021.

We also review compliance with our standards through our audit, review, and inspection programmes. Where issues are identified, we work collaboratively with third parties to support improvement plans.

In 2022, we took the opportunity to conduct a full review and refresh of our Human Rights Standard, to ensure that it reflects evolving regulatory requirements and developments in industry good practice.

During the year, there were no incidents of modern slavery or human rights violations reported through our auditing or internal incident reporting mechanisms. However, we did become aware of some potential labour rights issues among our lower-tier subcontractors, primarily involving delayed salary payments. In all instances, we mediated between our supply chain partners to facilitate solutions, monitoring the situation until it was resolved.

Conducting in-depth audits

We aim to conduct periodic in-depth human rights audits of our EPC project sites to assess worker welfare conditions and identify any labour rights concerns. These comprise:

  • Inspecting accommodation we visit accommodation camps to check that all workers (who are typically employed by subcontractors) have safe and dignified living, sleeping, leisure, and sanitation facilities. Where we have concerns, we follow-up with the subcontractors, and raise action-trackers until they are resolved.
  • Interviewing workers interviews are conducted on a random basis, covering the entire spectrum of the workforce, to assess and ensure that welfare and human rights are being respected. Any findings or grievances are investigated, and we work collaboratively with our subcontractors to resolve them.
  • Assessing the impact on local communities we aim to understand the impact that our operations may have on local communities, including noise and nuisance and the influx of workers. Regular community engagement is established with Community Liaison Officers and community representatives. Any grievances are investigated, and we work with the relevant parties to resolve them. In 2022, for example, we conducted such an audit at our Duqm project in Oman, which involved physical inspections, a dialogue with key stakeholders and subcontractors, discussions with the onsite worker welfare committee, and weekly interviews with a cross-section of workers. Improvement opportunities were identified related to subcontractor grievance management and compliance assurance, and an action plan implemented that subsequently addressed the gaps in our system of control. We also took the opportunity to remind project teams of the importance of remaining vigilant, drawing attention to the findings, especially the importance of effective grievance processes, and maintaining a regular dialogue with the worker welfare committee.

From 2023, we will enhance the audit protocol, which is incorporated into the wider HSEQ audit programme, and provide further training to audit teams. This will ensure that all projects are scrutinised for potential issues on a more routine and regular basis.

Refreshing labour rights awareness training

To remind our subcontractors of the importance of worker welfare, the principles we follow, and the support we make available on each of our project sites, a programme of labour rights refresher training was implemented (aligned to the International Finance Corporation Standard on Environmental & Social Sustainability, Labour Standard 2). This included the provision of information campaigns available in multiple languages, such as posters and discussion topics for toolbox talks with groups of workers.

Maintaining project grievance processes

At each project site, we operate grievance processes, which are designed to be transparent and accessible, and based on engagement and constructive dialogue. Workers can raise complaints and suggestions for improvement either anonymously or in person, and we engage with all parties to support the fair and prompt resolution of any issues raised. We continued to work to raise awareness of these grievance systems and how to access them.

Giving a voice to workers

In 2022, feedback from audits highlighted the issue that workers employed by some lower-tier subcontractors still do not feel comfortable with raising formal grievances. To address this, we continued to elevate the role of project welfare committees, enabling these workforce groups to raise concerns and improvement requests on behalf of their constituencies, without fear of retaliation. The committees represent an important component of our commitment to labour rights and a vital communications channel with the wider workforce. We worked to ensure that regular monthly meetings are held, that workforce groups are fairly represented, and an effective dialogue is maintained between all parties.

Governance

Why this is important to our business model and strategy

Responsible governance and ethical business practice are critical considerations for Petrofac. As a key stakeholder and a significant part of the supply chain in the industries and countries in which we operate, we must uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency, and consistently earn the trust of clients, governments, partners, and the wider energy industry.

We therefore recognise the responsibility and opportunity we have to enable and embody ethical behaviours. We take this commitment seriously and continue to invest in our people and processes to ensure that we live up to it.

Ethical behaviour and compliance

Over recent years, we have put significant effort into reinforcing the importance of ethical behaviour to our people and have invested considerably in our related teams, systems and processes.

We operate a three lines of defence structure – comprising rigorous management, strong governance, and independent assurance. This ensures that ethical behaviour and compliance are topics which receive consistent attention and enhancement. Our approach to compliance is also backed by an unequivocal Code of Conduct and clearly codified behaviours and values, and its importance to Petrofac is demonstrated by the frequent delivery of clear and consistent messages from all tiers of leadership.

To help us monitor our performance and scrutinise our approach, we retained the services of the specialist law firm Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan to act as a key part of our assurance processes.

Three lines of defence

Each line in our defence system includes a feedback loop that informs improvement

Continuing to embed a compliance ethos across the Group

To ensure that everyone who works with and for Petrofac is aware of our Code of Conduct, we continued with our ongoing training and communications programmes.

Everyone at middle management levels and below is required to complete a Code of Conduct e-learning module annually. We also introduced a quarterly Lessons Learnt bulletin for all employees, drawing on reported breaches of our Code of Conduct, how they have been addressed, and guidelines for how to behave in challenging or ambiguous situations. Meanwhile, to complement the communications and frequent messaging from senior leadership, we continued to focus on fostering more openness among middle managers and their direct reports, especially those working in higher risk roles and locations.

Encouraging more people to Speak Up

It is vital that everyone working with and for Petrofac can raise any concerns they might have, without fearing retaliation, and have the option to do so anonymously.

The ongoing priority is to encourage more open reporting of any suspected breaches of the Code of Conduct. This entailed ongoing training, again targeting middle-level managers, to promote a strong and healthy Speak Up culture, reinforced by a top-down cascade to all employees on the importance of speaking up.

This year the number of Speak Up reports logged reached 118, slightly down on 2021 but remaining ahead of recognised international benchmarks. We also saw a change in the nature of reports, with fewer anonymous reports, and a larger proportion of reports being made in person to managers, rather than through our online Speak Up platform. All of this demonstrates that people are comfortable in reporting and discussing their concerns, which is indicative of an open and transparent culture.

Continuing to enhance our investigations function

In many ways, we see the investigations function as the most important part of our compliance programme. Whenever concerns are reported, we need to demonstrate that we respond to them promptly and investigate them objectively and independently. We therefore ensure that whoever reports a concern is kept abreast of the outcome and that recommended actions are implemented in a timely manner.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

We also regard an investigation as an opportunity to engage in a dialogue with everyone involved. In this way, we are able to equip line managers with the tools they need to identify high-risk situations, and ensure that their teams remain forever mindful of the related sections of the Code of Conduct.

Benefiting from the recent redesign of the investigations function, procedures and tools, we were able to monitor our performance against several key metrics – including the time-to-close of each case.

Benefiting from enhanced processes and controls

Following the migration to a new cloud-based due diligence platform, operated by Dow Jones, we were able to enhance the way we review and monitor our suppliers and business partners.

In 2022, we closed the issues related to over 4,000 third parties that had been migrated to the new platform during its implementation, and began to conduct in-depth due diligence reviews of new entities at the rate of around 500 per month. With real-time monitoring, we were also able to respond immediately to any concerns flagged by the platform. As well as mitigating counterparty risks, this helps us to extend our local delivery model, by identifying locally-based suppliers, supporting their onboarding, and ensuring they understand and abide by our compliance requirements.

Adapting to the new geopolitical environment

Given the challenging geopolitical environment, our compliance teams ensured that Petrofac complied with the rapidly evolving sanctions regime and related regulations against Russia. This involved arrangements related to the safe completion and handover of our Sakhalin Energy project, and the operation of the Sakhalin Technical Training Centre.

Since the year end, Petrofac ceased its operations on the Sakhalin Energy project and has divested its control of and economic interest in the Sakhalin Technical Training Centre. The Group no longer has ongoing operations in Russia.

Continuing priorities for 2023

For 2023, the priority is to build on recent achievements and continue to nurture a culture of openness and transparency – so that all our people feel comfortable discussing our Code of Conduct, and all tiers of management understand the right ways to engage in these discussions and, where appropriate, to escalate the outcomes.

As we enter new and potentially challenging geographies, we will continue to apply rigorous due diligence, ensuring that we are effectively insulated from related counterparty risks.

It is vital that everyone working with or for us can raise concerns that they might have, without fear of retaliation, and have the option to do so anonymously."

TAX TRANSPARENCY

Petrofac is committed to ensuring compliance with the tax laws and regulations of the countries where we operate. We have an open, cooperative and collaborative working relationship with tax authorities.

Our Tax Strategy and Tax Policy explain how we approach the management of our tax affairs (these are available for download at petrofac.com).

The total amount that we pay in taxes is not limited to the corporate income tax disclosed within the financial statements. It also includes employee and employer taxes and social security payments, VAT and sales taxes, and other taxes such as withholding, property and other indirect taxes. The total amount paid by Petrofac to governments worldwide includes those taxes which are borne by Petrofac, as well as taxes collected by Petrofac, but which are recoverable from tax authorities or clients and suppliers.

We report our taxes paid and collected on a cash basis, except for VAT and sales taxes, which are shown on an accrual basis. We believe this is the most meaningful way to demonstrate our annual tax contribution.

Engineering & Construction

ELIE LAHOUD E&C Chief Operating Officer

The Engineering & Construction (E&C) division delivers onshore and offshore engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning services. Lump-sum turnkey is the predominant commercial model used, but we also offer our clients the flexibility of other models. The division has more than 40 years' track record in designing and building major oil, gas, refining, petrochemicals and new energies infrastructure projects. In 2022, Petrofac was named as one of the top three EPC companies in Oil & Gas Middle East magazine.

Operational performance

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

2022 has been a challenging year operationally, as we progressed with the completion of the legacy Covid-19 affected portfolio of projects. Seven of the active lump-sum contracts were completed or substantially completed1 during the year, with five of the remaining eight scheduled to be completed in 2023. However, due principally to the extended impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the scheduling and scope of work on these projects throughout the year, additional costs have been incurred, which cannot be fully recovered from our clients.

Similarly, on the Thai Oil Clean Fuels project, where we are jointly liable with our partners for performing the contract, due to the scale and complexity of this project, the scheduling and additional work required to complete the project has been affected even more by the knock-on impacts of the pandemic. As a result, we have recognised an increase in costs, driven by a reassessment, with the partners, of the forecast costs to complete the project. Petrofac will continue to work closely with its partners to pursue the recovery of costs over the course of the contract and, in addition, seek to realise other portfolio upsides.

Despite these challenges, we have continued to execute projects to our high standards and deliver projects to clients that maintain our reputation for execution.

Energy transition

In offshore wind, we entered into a collaboration with Hitachi Energy in June 2022 to work together to provide joint grid integration and associated infrastructure to the rapidly growing offshore wind market. Petrofac brings to the partnership its EPC and installation capabilities, developed from executing major projects in the sector for more than a decade, having successfully delivered the BorWin 3 platform and the HZK Alpha and Beta platforms, with the Seagreen offshore wind project close to completion.

Preparing for the upcycle

In 2022, E&C has successfully positioned itself for growth in anticipation of the expected upcycle. It has restored relationships with key clients in the UAE where there is a strong pipeline of opportunities. Through the reshaping and strengthening of the delivery functions, along with further right-sizing of the business, whilst maintaining capability, E&C has enhanced its operational and functional excellence, and is well-placed to execute new projects as they are awarded at industry-leading margins.

Financial performance

Revenue for the year decreased 33% to US\$1.3 billion (2021 restated: US\$2.0 billion), reflecting the lower levels of activity compared with the prior year. Full year EBIT was a loss of US\$299 million (2021 restated: US\$62 million), reflecting the impact of further unrecovered cost overruns in the legacy portfolio, cost increases on the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract and adverse commercial settlements.

  1. Completed and substantially completed contracts: contracts where (i) a Provisional Acceptance Certificate (PAC) has been issued by the client, or (ii) transfer of care and custody (TCC) to the client has taken place, or (iii) PAC or TCC are imminent and no substantive work remains to be performed by Petrofac.

Resilience Duqm Refinery ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION

  • US\$2.2 billion total project value
  • 50/50 joint venture with Samsung Engineering
  • 230,000 barrels a day doubling Oman's total refining capacity

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

• 2,000-acre footprint

Global refining capacity looks set to continue to expand in the coming years, and we have built good credentials in the market, with prestigious projects in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Central Europe.

We have an established track record in designing, building, and commissioning large, complex refineries. We also have significant experience in supporting clean fuels refining projects as clients transform existing facilities to produce higher quality and more environmentally friendly transportation fuels.

A key milestone for Petrofac was the initial 'coming to life' of the vast Duqm Refinery in Oman. During 2022, all the key milestones were achieved including the introduction of water and natural gas, firing of the auxiliary boilers, inauguration of the main administration building, opening of the Central Control Room and the lighting of the 180m tall flare.

Challenges encountered along the way included the disruption caused by the pandemic. With international travel restricted at a critical time, and vendors and contractors stranded around the world, the vital integration tests had to be conducted remotely – thanks to a combination of secure high-speed data links, a range of remote collaboration tools, and a spirit of collective determination.

As ever, in-country value was a key consideration. Among the components produced locally were nine huge LPG storage vessels, some of the largest ever manufactured in the Sultanate. Through the project, we also provided local and international scholarship programmes to 45 Omani students.

Duqm Refinery is an engineering and construction masterpiece on a massive scale. Once complete, it will be the biggest refinery in Oman, delivering products to customers around the world, diversifying the local economy, and fuelling economic growth for the Sultanate."

New orders

Industry awards were lower than expected in 2022, and, as a result, E&C's reduced new order intake for the year was US\$0.5 billion, comprising an EPC award in Algeria and other net variation orders. However, following a sustained period of under-investment in the sector, the market outlook remains positive for 2023 awards, driven by a renewed focus on energy security, affordability and sustainability.

In 2022, following the reshaping of the organisation and the implementation of best-inclass compliance processes, the response from clients has been very encouraging, evidenced by the reinstatement of Petrofac to the ADNOC bidding list. We are now free to compete in all upcoming tenders in Abu Dhabi where there is a strong pipeline of opportunities.

Tinrhert EPC2 Development Project, Algeria

In September 2022, E&C, in partnership with Genie Civil et Batiment (GCB), secured a US\$300 million EPC contract with Sonatrach for the Tinrhert EPC2 Development Project of which Petrofac's share is around US\$200 million. This award follows the successful delivery of the 2018 contract awarded by Sonatrach for the Tinrhert EPC1 project.

The project will boost natural gas production and remove CO2 from the field's gas reserves, within specifications for the global market, enabling further economic growth in Algeria.

This award evidences a recognition of Petrofac's execution capability, our unique mix of skills, and our track record of utilising partnerships, local delivery and the creation of in-country value to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients and their communities.

TenneT 2GW Programme, Netherlands

In January 2023, the partnership of Petrofac and Hitachi Energy signed early works agreements with TenneT in support of their 2GW Programme. Under the terms of the agreements, preparatory work and detailed engineering will begin, to ensure timely delivery of the first two Dutch offshore converter stations for TenneT's high voltage direct current (HVDC) offshore wind grid expansion. This award represented the first step in both TenneT's ambitious 40GW programme and Petrofac and Hitachi Energy's partnership to support the offshore wind sector.

At the end of March 2023, the partnership of Petrofac and Hitachi was awarded a multiyear framework agreement by TenneT worth approximately €13 billion. The framework agreement, which represents the largest in Petrofac's history, covers six projects. Each project comprises the EPCI of an offshore HVDC transmission station, onshore converter station and associated infrastructure.

  • Early works agreements from TenneT
  • Largest framework agreement in Petrofac's history
  • Grid integration and associated infrastructure
  • Support for TenneT's 2GW programme
  • A key step in Europe's energy transition

While considerable growth is projected across the new energies sector, the most immediate and material opportunity is in offshore wind.

As well as being one of the cleanest and greenest forms of energy available, offshore wind is also one of the most cost-effective. Yet, as the offshore wind sector scales up, technical, resourcing and supply chain challenges need to be addressed.

As in our traditional oil and gas projects, we always seek to take an innovative, problem-solving approach to such challenges, and one of the ways we can do this is by forming innovative, valuecreating partnerships.

In June 2022, we entered a collaboration with Hitachi Energy, to provide joint grid integration and associated infrastructure to support clients in the rapidly growing offshore wind market.

The collaboration builds on the complementary core technologies and expertise of both our companies in offshore wind.

The initial aim was to help a key client, TenneT, to accelerate the preparatory works in its current 2GW Programme, and pave the way for an eventual 40GW of offshore wind capacity. The partnership ultimately led to a significant early work agreement between TenneT, Hitachi Energy and Petrofac, which was further enhanced by the award of Petrofac's largest ever framework agreement − a multi-year deal worth approximately €13 billion.

We hope that the collaboration will help other clients to accelerate their respective wind farm developments.

It's a great collaboration. We look forward to bringing our industry-leading experience and deep domain knowledge together, to benefit our customers and power millions more homes using renewable energy."

JOHN PEARSON Chief Operating Officer, New Energy Services

Asset Solutions

NICK SHORTEN Asset Solutions Chief Operating Officer

The Asset Solutions division provides services across the full life cycle of energy infrastructure. It manages and maintains client assets, both onshore and offshore, delivers small to medium scale EPC projects and provides concept, feasibility and front-end engineering design (FEED) services. The division is also home to market-leading well engineering and decommissioning capabilities. The majority of Asset Solutions services are executed on a reimbursable basis, but we are responsive to clients' preferred commercial models to deliver our expertise. Asset Solutions has three service lines: Asset Operations, Asset Development, and Wells and Decommissioning.

Operational performance

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Asset Solutions delivered another robust performance in 2022, with a strong book-to-bill of 1.2x for the year with each of the service lines continuing to deliver growth. We maintained our core 40% market share in the UK and a renewal rate of 80% for operations and maintenance contracts. Internationally, we have expanded our operations into new – and within existing – geographies with awards across each of the service lines, including further expansion in the new energy services sector.

In mature basins, clients have increased their focus on late-life and end-of-life asset management strategies, seeking to extend the productive life and maximise the value from their assets. As a result, we saw strong growth in our Wells and Decommissioning business, with significant contract awards in Australia and the Gulf of Mexico. Our ability to provide a one-stop shop has led to multiple integrated decommissioning projects which showcase our Duty Holder services. Pioneered in the UK North Sea, this unique integrated service offering includes our engineering and project management capabilities and the plugging and abandoning of the wells, throughout which we can take full responsibility from a regulatory perspective, as the operator of the infrastructure.

In new energies, we entered into a number of strategic alliances with leading technology providers, as momentum in our four focus areas of offshore wind, CCUS, hydrogen and wasteto-value continues to increase. We executed 39 Pre-FEED and FEED studies in 2022, up from 18 in 2021, and we are well-positioned over the medium term to secure EPC and other execution phase work as projects reach final investment decision.

Financial performance

Revenue for the year was up 4% compared with the previous year at US\$1.2 billion (2021: US\$1.1 billion), benefiting from strong order intake in the year. Full year EBIT was US\$60 million (2021: US\$74 million). EBIT margin for the year was 5.2% reflecting the contract portfolio mix with the roll-off of certain historic highmargin contracts.

New orders

Asset Solutions had another strong year of order intake, securing US\$1.4 billion of awards and extensions in the year (2021: US\$1.0 billion), representing a book-to-bill of 1.2x.

Key awards included:

  • United Arab Emirates with the restoration of the relationship with ADNOC, we have subsequently won awards for a brownfield EPC project to optimise operations and reduce emissions and a field maintenance services contract extension
  • Australia in the first of its kind in Australia, Petrofac was awarded a major decommissioning contract by the Australian Government heralding the start of an era of decommissioning in the nation's offshore oil and gas sector
  • Gulf of Mexico we entered into an alliance with Promethean Decommissioning Company, a decommissioning operator for the decommissioning of fields in the offshore Gulf of Mexico. The project uses Petrofac's proprietary project management tool to deliver the decommissioning project with comprehensive dashboards, transparency, and assurance.

  • In our Wells and Decommissioning service line, we secured a contract with i3 to provide well engineering, well operations and well operator services for its UK North Sea licence areas.

New energies within Asset Solutions

In new energies, the strong momentum we have gained over the last two years continued with further developments in 2022. The market remains active, and we have secured a series of early-stage awards and strategic alliances with technology providers. This leaves us well positioned over the medium term to secure EPC and other execution phase project work, as projects reach final investment decision.

  • Carbon capture: we secured our first carbon capture project within a UK cluster, with the Pre-FEED award for a UK refinery, in addition to work with Stockholm Exergi and Storegga
  • Hydrogen: with our first new energies project in Egypt, we are assisting Mediterranean Energy Partners assess the feasibility of a new green hydrogen to ammonia facility which could open up other opportunities for the subsequent EPC projects in the country. A first new energies project in Chile, for Transitional Energy Group, sees us advise on and oversee the initial phases of a green ammonia project
  • Waste-to-value: we supported GreenFuels with the development of their Sewage Sludge to Aviation Fuel project, which was funded by the UK Department for Transport
  • Emissions reduction: we secured a flare gas capture project for ADNOC, supporting Ceraphi Energy to evaluate closed-loop geothermal technology to decarbonise offshore oil and gas assets using existing wells, in collaboration with EnQuest and Net Zero Technology Centre
  • Offshore wind: engineering studies for several offshore wind developments

Integrated Energy Services

Integrated Energy Services (IES) is Petrofac's upstream oil and gas business. Our interest in the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for Block PM304, Malaysia's offshore Cendor field, is the sole asset in the portfolio.

Operational performance

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Net production for the year increased by 97% to 1,261 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (kboe) in 2022 (2021: 640 kboe) mainly due to a full year of East Cendor production and the completion of projects and well workovers.

A water injection well was completed in the Irama field in May 2022 to provide pressure support to the field. Following positive pressure response, production from Irama peaked in October 2022 at 2.6 kboe/d from a 2021 average of 1.0 kboe/d.

The shutdown in the main Cendor field in December 2021 was resolved initially by installing a temporary partial gas lift system prior to the full reinstatement of the risers in Q3 2022. The gas lift assisted wells in Cendor and East Cendor are now able to produce at their full technical potential.

As a result of the reinstatement of the gas lift risers, the Irama water injection and a full year of production from the East Cendor field, the 2022 net production exit rate was 3.5 kboe/d (2021: 1.8 kboe/d).

In 2022, our Flare Reduction Taskforce in partnership with the Block PM304 Asset's Reservoir Management and Operations Teams successfully reduced emissions intensity by 49%. This was achieved through an ongoing gas shut-off programme, switching diesel for fuel gas that would otherwise be flared, and operational optimisations focused on logistics and enhancements.

The average realised oil price for Block PM304 increased by 49% to US\$112/boe in 2022 (2021: US\$75/boe).

Financial performance

Revenue for the year increased 174% to US\$137 million (2021: US\$50 million), reflecting the increased production and higher oil price realised.

EBITDA increased 419% to US\$109 million (2021: US\$21 million), principally reflecting the higher revenue from PM304.

IES generated EBIT of US\$58 million (2021: loss of US\$6 million). IES generated positive free cash flow due to Block PM304 performance as well as receiving US\$98 million of divestment proceeds related to the Greater Stella Area and the Mexico operations.

Impairment of Block PM304

The production sharing contract for Block PM304 in Malaysia expires in September 2026, and we are in continued technical and commercial discussions with Petronas and the joint venture partners in respect of an extension. Based on developments in the current year and the associated uncertainty in respect of securing that extension, management continues to assume that it will not be secured when assessing the carrying value of the asset at the year-end. The review of all relevant assumptions resulted in an impairment reversal of US\$6 million (2021 restated: charge of US\$33 million) recorded in the year. As a result of this impairment, the net book value carrying amount of Block PM304 as of 31 December 2022 is US\$86 million (2021 restated: US\$84 million).

Risk management

We operate in challenging environments and understand that risks are an inherent part of our business. Identifying and managing risks and opportunities is key to the successful delivery of our strategy.

Our knowledge and insight, coupled with the right set of tools and processes, help us understand the factors that lead to risk, and enable us to manage them effectively.

Board

  • Sets risk appetite
  • Approves principal risks
  • Reviews and approves significant opportunities

• Assurance to management, the Audit Committee and the Board

Our risk management framework provides us with a consistent approach to identify, manage and oversee the risks that may impact our business and is designed to underpin the Group's longer-term sustainability. Based on the principles and guidelines of BS ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management, our framework encompasses the policies, standards, procedures, culture, behaviours, organisational design, systems and other aspects of the Group that, taken together, enable Petrofac to operate effectively and efficiently.

Governing our risk management framework

Petrofac's system of risk governance comprises several committees and management processes that bring together reports on the management of risk at various levels.

The Board has overall responsibility for risk management, which includes establishing the Group's risk appetite and its enterprise risk arrangements, and ensuring we have an effective risk management framework in place.

The Audit Committee has been delegated the responsibility of monitoring and reviewing the integrity and effectiveness of the Group's overall risk management and internal control systems. The Audit Committee primarily, but not solely, uses the processes and reports outlined below for evaluating the Group's risk management and internal control activities:

• Principal Risk Report identifies and assesses the principal risks and emerging risks facing the Group, outlines how these are managed, reviews the effectiveness of

relevant controls and monitors exposures with respect to our risk appetite. Coupled with updates from the Group Chief Executive, Chief Financial Officer and the Group Risk Team, this report is submitted quarterly and is considered at both Committee and Board level throughout the year. A summary of this Report is provided on pages 78 to 87.

  • Management Reports for various principal risks are submitted, either to the Board or to one of its Committees whose area of expertise best aligns with the risk area under consideration. The goal is to enhance the level of oversight for each principal risk. The relevant Committee is responsible for reviewing the status of each principal risks, seeking information on controls and processes, and considering mitigation and management strategies. Following its review, each Committee provides feedback to the Audit Committee and to the Board for discussion and recommendations.
  • Control Self-Assessment certificates are a way for management to review and maintain adequate internal controls. These certificates are completed by each function and business unit to check and assure the adequacy of controls and disclose any reportable weaknesses in the control environment. They are then cascaded and consolidated to confirm the extent to which the internal controls have operated effectively throughout the year. Further reviews are performed by the Internal Audit team, and the Audit Committee receives regular updates from the Head of Internal Audit on the effectiveness of the internal controls.

In addition to these activities, reports are submitted to the Audit Committee by our internal and external auditors, as well as from our newly established Assurance function. In reviewing each of the submitted reports, the Committee considers:

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

  • How effectively risks have been identified
  • How they have been mitigated and managed
  • Whether appropriate and prompt action is being taken to remedy any failings or weaknesses
  • Whether the cause of the failing or weakness was the consequence of poor decision making, a need for more extensive monitoring, or a reassessment of process effectiveness

These considerations are intended to provide the Audit Committee with a balanced assessment of the Group's principal risks and the effectiveness of the systems of internal controls.

The Group Risk Committee is responsible for the oversight of the risk management framework, as agreed by the Board, including the review of Group policies and the management of the Group's Delegated Authorities.

In addition to the Group's regular risk review meetings, the Group Executive Committee meets regularly to discuss safety, compliance, operational, commercial and finance matters, with changes in risks and opportunities being identified and addressed as appropriate.

The diagram on page 76 sets out the risk governance framework, showing the interaction between the various risk review and management committees.

Identifying and managing our risks

The Group's divisions and functions conduct regular risk assessments and the risk information from these is consolidated into our principal risks. Emerging risks are identified as part of the business planning cycle, with a view to considering those risks that may have a material impact beyond the planning horizon.

The list of principal and emerging risks is reviewed by the Group Risk Committee, endorsed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board. Once approved, each principal risk is categorised and assigned to an executive owner, who is accountable for coordinating the risk assessment, reviewing the adequacy of relevant internal controls, establishing a response plan, and reporting.

Enterprise Risk Management system (and other tools) Leadership, communications and engagement

Depending on the category of the risk, the Assurance teams may be engaged to devise and support an effective assurance programme. The Board may also appoint a relevant Committee to enhance the level of oversight.

We assess the materiality of each principal risk and aim to contain them within the context of our risk appetite framework. Our risk appetite statements are established in three layers:

  • The first layer aligns with Petrofac's vision, purpose, business model, and strategy
  • The second layer ties into the business plan through overall risk indicators
  • The third layer operationalises the previous layers through specific statements and indicators relevant to each of our principal risks

The Board and the Group Risk Committee jointly govern all material new business opportunities and projects (including bid submissions, new country entries, joint ventures, investments, acquisitions and disposals) and provide direction as to the management and mitigation of any related risk exposures. Proposals are only presented to the Group Risk Committee after being reviewed and supported at divisional level. Based on the recommendations of the Group Risk Committee, the Board then has responsibility for approving or declining any high-risk opportunities.

Enhancing our risk management framework

During 2022, we conducted internal and external reviews of the effectiveness of our enterprise risk management (ERM) programme. Key areas for improvement identified during these reviews included:

  • Further integration and better alignment between projectand portfolio-level risk assessment procedures within the ERM programme
  • Enhancing the second line of defence controls when evaluating the effectiveness of risk management inputs

We will continue to address and enhance these areas during 2023.

Principal risks and uncertainties

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

The Group's principal risks were reviewed and revised at the end of 2022, drawing on feedback from the business, Executive team, and the Audit Committee.

During the year no new emerging risks were identified and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was contained, with no material influence on our principal risks.

As of the start of 2023, the Group's current principal and emerging risks are outlined below:

Risk Category Principal/Emerging Risk
Strategic Risks Adverse geopolitical and macro-economic changes in key geographies
Low order intake
Failure to deliver strategic initiatives
Failure to deliver new energies strategy
Operational Risks Operational and project performance
Insufficient IT resilience
HSE incidents
Financial Risks Loss of financial capacity
Misstatement of financial information
Legal & Compliance Risks Breach of laws, regulations, and ethical standards
People Risks Inadequate leadership and talent management

Adverse geopolitical and macro-economic changes in key geographies

The impact of adverse geopolitical changes in our key geographies includes risks to the successful delivery of our strategy, our operations and associated impact on margins, the safety of our people, security issues, material logistics, and travel restrictions. The Group's backlog is concentrated in emerging markets, which may increase our vulnerability to adverse geopolitical events.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Risk appetite

  • We actively assess risks associated with geopolitical changes in our key geographies, and we have appetite for more risk in this area where we have the experience of managing it.
  • Where we operate in countries that have high or very high geopolitical risks, we actively monitor risks associated with geopolitical events and have plans in place to support the ongoing delivery, or suspension, of our business in each country.

Risk appetite measures

– Cash flow exposed to geopolitical risk

Sub-risks

Sub-risks are specific to each country where we operate based on scenarios triggered by various threats such as:

  • Political conflicts between countries
  • Civil unrest
  • Recession and fiscal stress
  • Increased controls over trade and payments

FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE / Pages 8-13; 16-19; 24-25; 60-63

Assessment: No change

The risk remained unchanged during 2022. While there was an increase in our risk profile, this was driven by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Although our exposure in these countries is very low, new sanctions enforced created new compliance requirements for the Group. This increase was, however, offset by reduced economic and geopolitical risks in our major markets due to the increase in commodity prices and the reduced impact of Covid-19.

Risk category | Strategic Link to our strategy | Return to growth

Mitigation and management

The Group Risk Committee and the Board actively monitor geopolitical developments and seek to avoid or minimise our exposure to jurisdictions with risk levels beyond our appetite. A detailed risk analysis is conducted before entering any new country and while pursuing and executing projects in new geographies.

We have good experience in project execution and maintain positive relationships with key stakeholders. Careful consideration is given to contractual terms and security conditions through our detailed risk review process, and we seek external advice on specialist issues as required.

The delivery model is modified to suit each project and we limit exposure to single sources of supply and service. We limit our fixed asset commitment within each contract and closely monitor and manage our cash flow and commitments.

Our Business Continuity Management System considers response to and recovery from geopolitical incidents. There is also continued focus on evacuation and emergency response. Our operations are assessed and executed in accordance with our Security Policy and Security Standards.

In 2022, we performed detailed assessments and continuously evaluated the impact of the evolving situation relating to Ukraine. This involved keeping our people and operations safe, ensuring we remained compliant with new sanctions, and making sure our contractual commitments in Russia were met.

80 PETROFAC LIMITED | Annual report and accounts 2022

Principal risks and uncertainties continued

Low order intake

The risk is that our clients exercise capital discipline, which impacts the demand for our services through the cancellation or delay of planned investments. The potential impact is that the Group could fail to deliver its anticipated backlog and growth targets.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

The Group wins most of its work through a competitive bidding process, and as competition increases, there is a risk that we could fail to maintain differentiated margins.

Risk appetite

  • We pursue opportunities consistent with our strategic focus and core competencies, and expect to secure a diversified portfolio in order to de-risk adverse events in our core markets
  • We have appetite for more risk provided we review each opportunity, taking account of its respective risk profile and putting in place relevant controls to adequately mitigate risks to the planned execution strategy. We do not enter, or will exit, an opportunity, if we cannot ensure compliance with laws and regulations, execution quality or the safety and security of our people or reputation.

FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE / Pages 8-13; 16-19; 24-25

Assessment: No change

The increase in the principal risk due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and lower than expected order intake, especially in E&C, was offset by a positive outlook, mainly driven by stable oil and gas prices, and good visibility of the pipeline for 2023. We were able to return to bidding in key markets from which we had been temporarily excluded during the SFO investigation.

Risk category | Strategic Link to our strategy | Return to growth

Mitigation and management

Our order intake is driven by our strategy, the development of which is overseen by the Board. Our service lines work together to identify, review, and win opportunities. We regularly analyse our business development activities, bid-to-win ratios, and our competition.

In 2022, we focused on addressing evolving client needs in areas such as increased in-country value and improved sustainability performance. We further enhanced our competencies in new energies and improved our bidding competitiveness by becoming a leaner organisation.

We continued to secure new orders during 2022, including projects in Algeria, Australia, and the United States, albeit the overall level of new orders secured in E&C was lower than expected. We see a diverse pipeline of bidding opportunities in the coming years across markets and geographies.

Failure to deliver strategic initiatives

Each of our strategic priorities is supported by various strategic initiatives that are overseen by senior management and the Board. To build enterprise value, we ensure each initiative is de-risked and respective success targets are met, assuring all stakeholders that we are pursuing an appropriate strategy capable of delivering shareholder value. The impact is reflected in the appetite from new investors and, consequently, the market valuation of the Group.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Risk appetite

• We have limited appetite for risks affecting our strategic initiatives, although we recognise that the delivery of these is also a function of market dynamics. We identify and adequately mitigate the risks to each initiative, having some appetite to be flexible over the timing of their delivery

Assessment: No change

We made progress across all our strategic initiatives, and the risk remained stable during 2022.

Risk category | Strategic Link to our strategy | Best-in-class delivery and Return to growth

Mitigation and management

Each strategic initiative is governed by a stage-gate process and overseen by the Group Executive Committee. The Board regularly assesses our strategic initiatives and overall strategic plan to satisfy itself that the right balance of risk, capability, and reward is maintained. We conduct detailed sensitivity analysis to assess the robustness of our plans.

The Group Risk Committee reviews all material new business opportunities and projects, new country entries, joint ventures, investments, acquisitions, and disposals.

In a challenging environment, we continued to deliver our strategic initiatives in 2022. Key achievements for the year included:

  • Embedded our new technical services organisation (1tec)
  • Continued execution of our formal in-country value programme to help us drive growth and support delivery in our core and new geographies
  • Continued establishing new partnerships
  • Continued push into new markets including progress with a one-stop shop solution for integrated decommissioning

Principal risks and uncertainties continued

Failure to deliver new energies strategy

Due to climate change and the energy transition, our markets are changing, and the portfolios of our clients are going through a major transformation. Our new energies services line was established to respond to this change, and the Group has outlined a medium-term ambition for 20% of revenue to come from this over the medium-term. An inability to meet changing market needs will limit our future growth, and would hinder our commitments with regards to our response to climate change.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Risk appetite

• We are willing to be exposed to more risk in the new energies sector, and recognise that lower margins are to be expected as we seek growth.

Risk appetite measures

– Short and medium-term growth forecasts

Sub-risks

  • Inability to secure partnerships
  • Adverse/delayed change in government policies
  • Changes in client requirements (terms and conditions and funding)
  • Failures in our supply chain
  • Failures in delivery and execution of new energies projects

FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE / Pages 6-7; 10-11; 16-19; 72

Assessment: Increased

The risk increased in 2022 due to delays in awards. These were largely driven by reduced funding and government support for energy transition initiatives in our targeted markets.

Risk category | Strategic – Emerging Risk Link to our strategy | Best-in-class delivery and Return to growth

Mitigation and management

New energies focuses on four clearly defined segments of the market, namely offshore wind, CCUS, hydrogen, and waste-to-value, where we have a strong track record and relevant experience. The growth will be facilitated by: partnering in relevant technologies and with established developers; monitoring relevant government policies; and supporting the new energies organisation with 1tec expertise to successfully execute and deliver new energies projects.

In 2022, we:

  • Established a significant new partnership with Hitachi Energy in offshore wind
  • Continued to embed our technical services organisation (1tec) fully into our new energies offerings and organisation
  • Continued improvements in our ESG performance, as demonstrated by positive ESG ratings (e.g. AA rating from MSCI)

Operational and project performance

Our portfolio typically includes a relatively small number of high-value contracts, a larger number of lower-value contracts, and some sizeable oil and gas assets. Cost or schedule overruns on any of the high-value contracts, or operational issues affecting production within our key assets could negatively impact the Group's profitability, cash flow and relationships with key stakeholders.

Assessment: No change

Despite various project and operational challenges faced during the year, the financial impact of the project risks that had previously been identified were recognised during the year. The risk profile of our operational assets was reduced, the impacts of the pandemic were reflected and therefore the overall risk level remained the same as last year but with a reduced portfolio of projects.

Risk category | Operational

Link to our strategy | Best-in-class delivery, and Superior returns

Mitigation and management

Key risks to project delivery are initially identified at the tender stage, through the risk review process by relevant risk review committees and escalated to the Group Risk Committee or the Board, as required. On award, detailed execution strategies are further developed. During the execution phase, emerging risks and opportunities are managed through assurance, operational and project reviews. Lessons learnt are cascaded through leadership lines and our quality initiatives are focused on a right-first-time approach.

In 2022, we continued to embed 1tec, ensuring the value assurance framework was integrated to govern all aspects of project delivery across our operations. Project recovery plans were maintained, and project delivery remained a significant area of focus for the Executive team and the Board throughout the year.

Insufficient IT resilience

The Group's performance is increasingly dependent on the ongoing capability and reliability of our IT platforms. We (as with all companies) continue to be exposed to external cyber-security threats.

We will manage our IT infrastructure to ensure the security of confidential information and the availability of our critical systems is not compromised

We have some appetite for risks to our IT infrastructure and cyber-security that do not impact services provided to our clients or deteriorate the effectiveness of key controls

  • Network unavailability due to end-of-life devices
  • Compromise of user accounts through phishing and social engineering attacks
  • System unavailability due to legacy and unsupported applications and server infrastructure
  • Operational technology breach leading to operational disruption

FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE / Pages 53

Assessment: No change

The risk remained stable during 2022.

Risk category | Operational Link to our strategy | Best-in-class delivery

Mitigation and management

We operate a Group-wide information security/cyber-security programme and have a cloud strategy to maintain a resilient IT platform.

In 2022, we continued to improve our information security controls through:

  • A review of our information security practices with regards to global standards and best practices
  • The migration of our enterprise storage solution to meet the needs of our organisation

In 2023 we will proceed with the opportunities identified during the review of our information security practices.

Principal risks and uncertainties continued

HSE incidents |

There are several factors that could impact our ability to operate safely. These include safety and asset integrity risks and they extend to a range of environmental risks. The risk is the potential harm to our people, and the commercial and/or reputational damage that could be caused.

Assessment: No change

Despite some recent high-potential incidents, the risk remained stable in 2022 and was mitigated by the implementation of our new HSE strategy.

Risk category | Operational Link to our strategy | Best-in-class delivery

Mitigation and management

Safety is fundamentally important and intrinsic to Petrofac's behavioural DNA. It is governed largely by our operating framework, Group policies, and systems that cover all elements of occupational health and safety, security, environmental, and asset integrity programmes.

In 2022 we improved on an already strong HSE performance with a new HSE strategy. Key achievements for the year include:

  • Enhanced leadership visibility and oversight on site performance through site visits and safety scorecards
  • New campaign and use of driving improvement applications to enhance our Driver Safety Programme
  • Collaboration with contractors through annual performance reviews and rollout of Safety Hotspots at worksites to improve their respective safety performance
  • Improved communication and engagement with worksites through the use of digital technology

Details of our HSE strategy, 2022 initiatives and 2023 priorities are outlined on pages 50 and 53.

Loss of financial capacity |

Failure to maintain adequate liquidity or provide guarantees to our customers could adversely affect our ability to deliver our strategy and may ultimately result in financial loss and/or ability to comply with our financial covenants.

Costs of debt may rise as a result of rating agency downgrades or reduced access to funding.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Access to funding is critical to our sustainability and future growth. Reduced access to funding could hamper the Group's growth and/or adversely affect the Group's financial performance.

Risk appetite

We have no appetite for a loss of financial capacity that results in a failure to meet our financial obligations as they fall due and remain solvent, or that impairs our ability to meet client requirements for guarantees.

Risk appetite measures

  • Liquidity
  • Credit rating
  • Unfunded facilities

Sub-risks

  • Failure to maintain adequate liquidity
  • Failure to provide guarantees

FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE / Pages 88-93

Assessment: No change

Despite the challenges we experienced during the year in respect of financial performance resulting in the renegotiation of our debt facilities financial covenants, we have maintained our credit rating, secured an extension for our bank debt facilities, and observed a marginal improvement on the availability of guarantees.

Risk category | Financial Link to our strategy | Superior returns

Mitigation and management

We maintain an adequate level of liquidity in the form of readily available cash, short-term investments, or committed credit facilities, and ensure a minimum level of liquidity (as defined by the Audit Committee) is maintained.

Debt, cash, and liquidity balances are monitored on a daily basis. We prepare cash flow forecasts on a quarterly basis, aligned to our reforecast cycle, and rolling cash forecasts on a monthly basis to help manage liquidity and short-term forecasting. Our financial policy targets BBB investment grade credit metrics over the long term.

We maintained our credit rating, retained an appropriate capital structure, secured an extension for our bank debt facilities, and reduced cash held in joint ventures and in highly regulated jurisdictions. However, the Group's liquidity position in the mitigated severe but plausible downside scenario considered in the Group's going concern assessment is reliant on a small number of collections from clients, which are not entirely within the direct control of the Group. Accordingly, there is a material uncertainty applicable to the going concern assessment as explained in note 2.5 to the Group consolidated financial statements.

In 2023, we will continue to focus on cash collection and will maintain financial discipline.

Assessment: No change

In 2022, control deficiencies were identified with respect to the timely identification of increases in contract costs for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract and prior year adjustments were identified. With respect to the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract, management performed additional assurance activities to satisfy itself that there were no other similar occurrences within the broader E&C portfolio. Following the implementation of these additional assurance procedures in response (see Audit Committee report on page 114), the overall risk remained stable.

Risk category | Financial Link to our strategy | Best-in-class delivery

Mitigation and management

Our Financial Control Framework ensures that adequate controls are identified, implemented, and monitored throughout all our key financial activities. Adequacy of these controls are certified and reviewed by various assurance activities and overseen by the Audit Committee.

In 2022, we continued to improve our controls in this area with the ongoing implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning platform, which will continue in 2023. Furthermore, in response to the identified deficiencies in internal control and prior year adjustment in respect of the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract, we implemented additional assurance activities. These included specific verifications that any updated bills of quantities information had been reflected in the contract cost forecasts, and if necessary, the financial statements.

Also, we included additional disclosures and corrections in the Group's consolidated 2022 financial statements following both a review of the 2021 financial statements by the Financial Reporting Council's Corporate Reporting Review Team and the identification of other prior year adjustments (note 2.9 of the consolidated financial statements).

Breach of laws, regulations and ethical standards |

Non-compliance with laws, regulations and ethical standards due to failures in our compliance controls or unethical behaviour, including but not limited to bribery, corruption, money laundering, trade sanctions, and labour rights, may result in fines and/or adverse impact on our reputation.

• The overall risk level remained unchanged in 2022, this was due to the changes and improvements implemented following the SFO investigation, which concluded in 2021.

Risk category | Legal and compliance Link to our strategy | Best-in-class delivery

Mitigation and management

We operate a Group-level Compliance Programme overseen by the Compliance and Ethics Committee. We continued to enhance this programme during 2022, including:

  • Reviewed and revised our controls using new online tools relating to gifts and entertainment and conflict of interest processes
  • Revised our due-diligence controls, including new documentation and enhanced oversight of the Third-Party Review Committee

Priorities for 2023 will be determined upon the completion of independent external reviews. Further information on our compliance programme is provided on pages 65 to 67.

Inadequate leadership and talent management |

Our operations are heavily dependent on our ability to attract, retain and lead the right level of skilled and experienced personnel. Failure to do so could negatively impact our distinctive, delivery-focused culture, and prevent us from maintaining our operational capability and positive relationships with clients.

  • We take a balanced approach towards risks to establishing and maintaining a talented workforce within the context of prevailing job market economics
  • Our leaders live our values and behaviours and operate as one team at all times.

Risk appetite measures

  • Results of employee surveys
  • Staff turnover
  • Diversity and inclusion targets
  • Succession plans

Sub-risks

  • Inability to attract and retain the capability necessary to deliver the business plan
  • Fragility in our succession planning for key roles
  • Leadership fails to live our values and behaviours
  • Reduced performance of staff due to insufficient levels of diversity and inclusion

FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE / Pages 21; 28-31; 55-58; 63-64; 112-113

Assessment: Increased

The risk increased since our last update due to a higher attrition rate in a tight job market. However, this continues to have limited impact on our operations.

Risk category | People Link to our strategy | Best-in-class delivery

Mitigation and management

We remain confident that our policies to attract, retain, train, promote, and reward our people are appropriate for the Group, and will enable us to meet our strategic goals.

In 2022, we established a new resourcing plan and initiated a recruitment drive to meet our future human capital requirements. These efforts were coupled with improvements in our overall benefit structure and reward and remuneration initiatives. Diversity and inclusion initiatives were also implemented successfully, including the launch of two additional Employee Networking Groups (see pages 56 and 58 for more detail).

Financial review

The Group's financial performance in 2022 reflected continuing challenges in the Engineering & Construction (E&C) portfolio, partly offset by strong performance in Asset Solutions and Integrated Energy Services (IES). The lingering impact of the Covid-19 pandemic continued to affect our E&C operating segment, with additional costs incurred due to extended schedules not being fully recovered from our clients. Overall, revenue was down year-on-year due to lower activity. Despite underperformance in profitability and low levels of new awards in the year, cash flows have been effectively controlled to manage the impact on net debt.

In April 2023, after the year-end, we extended the Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) and both bilateral term loans by 12-months to October 2024 (see note 26 of the consolidated financial statements for further details).

Cash flows have been effectively controlled, despite underperformance in profitability and low levels of awards in the year, to manage the impact on net debt".

Income statement

Revenue

Group revenue decreased 15% to US\$2.6 billion (2021 restated3 : US\$3.0 billion). This was principally due to a decline in revenue in the E&C operating segment which decreased 33% reflecting lower levels of activity compared with the prior year. Revenue in Asset Solutions increased by 4% primarily driven by growth in Wells & Decommissioning and Asset Developments, partially offset by lower levels of activity in Asset Operations. Revenue in the IES operating segment increased significantly driven by an increase in production and higher realised oil prices.

The Group generated revenue from a broad range of geographic markets in 2022, with UK, Algeria, Thailand and Oman generating 61% of Group revenue (2021: top four markets – UK, Algeria, Thailand and Oman generated 65% of revenue).

Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)

The Group reported a business performance2 EBIT loss of US\$205 million (2021 restated3 : US\$12 million), largely driven by a US\$299 million EBIT loss in E&C (2021 restated3 : US\$62 million), reflecting the impact of further unrecovered costs in the legacy portfolio, cost increases on the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract and some adverse commercial settlements. Asset Solutions EBIT margins were below prior year at 5.2% (2021: 6.7%), due to the contract portfolio mix in addition to the roll-off of certain historic high-margin contracts, and a higher contribution from pass-through revenue in Wells & Decommissioning. EBIT in IES increased to US\$58 million (2021: loss of US\$6 million) due to the increase in revenue without a commensurate increase in costs. Group business performance2 EBIT margin declined to (8.0)% (2021 restated3 : (0.4)%), reflecting the reductions in E&C and Asset Solutions described above, partially offset by improvement in IES. The reported EBIT was a loss of US\$212 million (2021 restated3 : US\$189 million) due to the business performance described above and lower separately disclosed items incurred in 2022.

Taxation

The Group had a reported income tax expense was US\$16 million (2021 restated3 : credit of US\$13 million).

Business performance2 income tax expense for the year of US\$15 million (2021 restated3 : credit of US\$56 million), reflecting a change in mix of profits in the jurisdictions in which the profits and losses were generated. Tax provision releases in the year were US\$20 million (2021 restated3 : US\$73 million) due to favourable tax audit outcomes in certain jurisdictions in relation to prior period assessments.

Net profit/(loss)

Business performance2 net loss attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders for the year was US\$284 million (2021 restated3 : profit of US\$3 million) primarily due to the lower EBIT and the higher net finance expense incurred in the year, in addition to higher income tax charge. Business performance2 net margin was (11.0)% (2021 restated3 : 0.1%).

A reported net loss of US\$310 million (2021 restated3 : US\$245 million) resulted from the movements noted above and the lower net separately disclosed items incurred in 2022.

Separately disclosed items

During the year, the Group incurred US\$26 million (2021 restated3 : US\$248 million) of net separately disclosed items.

91 PETROFAC LIMITED | Annual report and accounts 2022

These predominantly related to:

• US\$(5) million net non-cash reversal of impairment charge primarily resulting from a review of the carrying amount of the investment in Block PM304 in Malaysia

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

  • US\$(10) million of net fair value remeasurements, primarily resulting from the improved final settlement of the contingent consideration receivable from the 2020 disposal of the Group's operations in Mexico
  • US\$18 million of financing related costs associated with the embedded derivative in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility
  • US\$10 million of cloud ERP software implementation costs
  • Other net separately disclosed items of US\$13 million including: restructuring and redundancy costs (US\$4 million); a loss on the sale of the deferred consideration receivable due from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd (US\$3 million); and professional service fees in the Corporate reporting segment (US\$5 million)

Further details of these separately disclosed items can be seen in note 6 of the consolidated financial statements.

Cash flow

Operating cash flow

Operating activities generated a net cash outflow of US\$146 million (2021: US\$161 million), principally reflecting the working capital inflow during the year, partially offset by a decline in EBITDA and the payment of the penalty imposed by the UK courts in relation to the SFO investigation which concluded in 2021. The operating profit cash flow adjustments were US\$(12) million (2021 restated3 : US\$(59) million). Net income taxes paid increased to US\$52 million (2021: US\$42 million) as a number of tax assessments and audits concluded, resulting in the payment of the remaining balance which had been previously provided.

The net working capital inflow of US\$135 million (2021 restated3 : outflow of US\$88 million) was due to cash inflows on contract assets and contract liabilities more than offsetting cash outflows in trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and accrued contract expenses. These cash inflows were largely driven by the progress achieved in the E&C operating segment as the portfolio continued to mature, while the underlying DSO (days sales outstanding) increased due to longer billing cycles as a result of Covid-19 related delays on E&C projects as well as slower cash collections from clients.

Accrued contract expenses outflow decreased due to lower volumes, higher payment milestones being reached in the year relating to vendors and subcontractors predominantly in the E&C business unit and the maturity of the E&C project portfolio. Consequently, trade and other payables increased as accrued contract expenses migrated into trade payables.

The free cash outflow for the year of US\$188 million (2021: US\$281 million) primarily reflects high net cash outflow used in operating activities, and the higher interest payments, partially offset by higher divestment proceeds received in respect of the sale of the Mexican assets in 2020 and the disposal proceeds in relation to the consideration received from Ithaca Energy UK Limited receivable.

Group capital expenditure decreased to US\$46 million (2021: US\$53 million), with approximately 57% being incurred in IES for the final stages of the capital development programme in Block PM304.

Balance sheet

IES carrying amount

The carrying amount of the IES portfolio stood at US\$86 million at 31 December 2022 (2021 restated3 : US\$84 million), solely comprising the Group's interests in its operations in Malaysia and reflecting the partial impairment reversal described above.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Leases

Net lease liabilities, calculated as gross lease liabilities minus 64.7% of leases relating to Block PM304 in Malaysia, reflecting the amount receivable from joint operation partners, decreased 6% to US\$116 million at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$124 million). Net lease liabilities attributable to PM304 amounted to US\$52 million (2021: US\$59 million) and largely relate to the bareboat charters for the floating equipment used for block operations.

Total equity

Total equity at 31 December 2022 decreased to US\$112 million (2021 restated3 : US\$423 million), reflecting the operational losses in the year. No dividends were paid in the period (2021: nil).

Of the US\$112 million of total equity at 31 December 2022, US\$129 million (2021 restated3 : US\$413 million) was attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders and US\$(17) million (2021: US\$10 million) was attributable to non-controlling interests.

Net debt and liquidity

Net debt

Net debt, excluding net finance leases, increased to US\$349 million at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$144 million). The net debt increase was predominantly due to the payment of the SFO penalty and interest payments in 2022.

Total gross borrowings less associated debt acquisition costs were US\$799 million at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$764 million). This consisted of US\$583 million senior secured notes, US\$117 million drawn on the revolving credit facility and US\$99 million of term loans (net of US\$7 million and US\$1 million respectively of debt acquisition costs).

Extension of debt facilities

Following the capital raise (note 22) and the refinancing completed in 2021, the Group successfully completed an amendment and extension to its existing bank facilities in April 2023 (note 26).

The Group therefore now has facilities consisting of US\$600m 9.75% senior secured notes (due 2026) a US\$162m revolving credit facility and two bilateral loan facilities totalling US\$90m (all of which mature in October 2024). All facilities are for general corporate purposes.

It should be noted that as this amendment and extension (including a waiver of the financial covenant testing date of 31 December 2022) was completed after the year end and the Group did not have an unconditional right to defer repayment of these facilities for greater than 12 months as at the balance sheet date, the borrowings have been disclosed as current in the balance sheet.

Liquidity

The Group's total available borrowing facilities, excluding bank overdrafts, were US\$880 million at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$880 million).

Of these facilities, US\$56 million was undrawn at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$85 million). Combined with the Group's cash and short-term deposits of US\$450 million (2021: US\$620 million), the Group had US\$506 million of liquidity available at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$705 million).

Following the extension of the debt facilities in April 2023, the total available facilities were:

Senior secured notes 600 Nov-26
Revolving credit facility 162 Oct-24
Term loan 1 45 Oct-24
Term loan 2 45 Oct-24
Total borrowing facilities 852

The revolving credit facility and term loans have been amended and extended as described above, and are subject to financial covenants relating to liquidity and EBITDA. More detail can be found in note 26 to the consolidated financial statements.

Note that 31 December 2022 covenants were waived by the banks (leverage and interest cover).

The Group has a BB- (positive outlook) credit rating from S&P and a B+ (negative outlook) credit rating from Fitch.

Going concern

The Directors considered the going concern assessment for the extended period up to 31 December 2024 (the Assessment Period). The Group closely monitors and manages its funding position, liquidity and financial covenant headroom by producing robust cash forecasts and assessing downside sensitivities considered to be severe but plausible based on the Group's principal risks and uncertainties.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

These forecasts show that the Group will be able to maintain compliance with its financial covenants and have sufficient liquidity headroom during the Assessment Period under its base case scenario. However, the Group's liquidity position in the mitigated severe but plausible downside scenario is reliant on a small number of collections from clients which are not entirely within the direct control of the Group. Accordingly, there are material uncertainties applicable to the going concern assessments, as defined in auditing and accounting standards, related to the timing of receipt of these collections from clients.

The Directors concluded, after rigorously evaluating relevant, available information, that, they remain confident in the prospects of the Group to maintain compliance with its financial covenants and sufficient liquidity even in a severe but plausible downside scenario.

Backlog

The Group's backlog decreased 15% to US\$3.4 billion at 31 December 2022 (2021 restated3 : US\$4.0 billion), reflecting low new order intake in E&C due to industry delays to awards, partially offset by strong order intake in Asset Solutions.

Overall, Group order intake for the year was US\$1.9 billion, representing a book-to-bill of 0.7x. Order intake in E&C was US\$0.5 billion (2021: US\$1.2 billion), comprising an EPC contract in Algeria and other net variation orders. Order intake in Asset Solutions increased to US\$1.4 billion (2021: US\$1.0 billion), representing a book-to-bill of 1.2x.

Dividends

The Board recognises the importance of dividends to shareholders and expects to reinstate them in due course, once the Company's performance has improved.

Prior year adjustments

A number of prior year adjustments have been identified in the year and reflected in the comparative information in this year's financial statements.

The largest of these adjustments was in respect of the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract, where indications of a material growth in the bills of quantities volumes resulting from a periodic engineering scope review had not been appropriately identified and considered prior to the approval of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. These should have been evaluated and reflected in the 2021 financial statements. This issue was identified by the Group's Internal Audit function and indicated a deficiency in internal controls in respect of this uniquely complex project, executed in a consortium. In order to satisfy itself that there were no other similar occurrences within the broader E&C portfolio, the Group undertook a series of incremental assurance activities (see note 2.9 on page, the principal risks and uncertainties disclosures on page 78 to 87 and the Audit Committee report on page 114 to 122). These assurance activities confirmed that there were no such occurrences.

In September 2022, the Group's 31 December 2021 financial statements were subject to a review by the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) Corporate Reporting Review Team (CRRT). This review is now closed. As stated in note 2.9 to the consolidated financial statements, the review resulted in some classification and presentational prior year adjustments being recorded in the Group's consolidated income statement and statement of cash flows and the Company's statement of cash flows, but did not have any impact on consolidated net profit or consolidated net change in cash and cash equivalents.

Full details can be found in note 2.9 to the consolidated financial statements, alongside details of other prior year adjustments.

Viability statement

In accordance with the requirements of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code (the UK Code), the Directors confirm that they have performed a robust assessment of the Group's prospects and its ability to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of their assessment. In doing so, they have considered the Group's current position and the principal risks and uncertainties that would threaten the viability of the business.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

The Group's financial statements for 2022 are prepared on a going concern basis with a material uncertainty identified with respect to the Group's ability to maintain liquidity covenant compliance and adequate liquidity, linked to the timing of receipt of a small number of relatively high value collections, as described in the going concern assessment in note 2.5 of the consolidated financial statements.

Details of the Group's risk governance and management framework and a description of its principal risks and uncertainties are included in the Strategic report on pages 78 to 87. In addition to the inherent risk of delivering large and complex projects safely, on time and on budget, the key mediumto-long term factors affecting the Group's prospects together with the Group's current position and outlook are set out below:

Factors affecting the Group's prospects Group's current position and outlook

Energy market outlook: the long term outlook for energy prices affects the investment decisions of our clients and consequently the timing and quantum of new awards, principally in our E&C division.

Oil Price: in the short term, oil price affects cash generated from oil and gas production in our IES division.

Economic and market environment:

the appetite of clients to award contracts and any restrictions or opportunities on access to certain markets reflects the macro-economic environment, geopolitical conditions and other macro events.

Addressable market: the Group's addressable market, which excludes Saudi Arabia and Russia, is estimated to grow to more than US\$127 billion per annum by 2025, driven by growing energy demand and a lack of investment in the industry in the past decade.

Significant growth is expected in the Group's core MENA region, driven by spending from national oil companies, where Petrofac has a differentiated position with its local delivery model.

In addition, significant short- to medium-term opportunities are expected in the offshore wind, decommissioning and sub-Saharan Africa markets, where the Group also has differentiated offerings.

Factors affecting the Group's prospects Group's current position and outlook
Near term visibility: at 31 December 2022, the
Group had backlog of US\$3.4 billion, with secured
revenue in 2023 of approximately US\$2.1 billion
(55%). In addition, new order intake for the year to
date in 2023 is approximately US\$1.7 billion with
a further US\$1.5 billion at preferred bidder stage
and a second TenneT contract expected, worth in
excess of US\$1 billion. The current tendering pipeline
is approximately US\$51 billion of opportunities
scheduled for award in the period to June 2024.
Medium term ambition: in the medium term, the
Group is targeting revenue of US\$4 billion – US\$5
billion, sector leading EBIT margins and a net cash
position, which is supported by its business plan.
Energy transition: the nature and
speed of the transition to new energies,
and the Group's ability to address these
new market opportunities in the medium
to long-term.
Energy transition: the Group is well positioned in the
new energy services market, with track record of over
a decade in offshore wind and is rapidly expanding
credentials in carbon capture, utilisation and storage
(CCUS), hydrogen production and waste-to-value.
The short-term to medium-term opportunity is
expected to materialise principally through further
EPC opportunities in the offshore wind market,
decommissioning work related to the transition away
from fossil fuels, and FEED and pre-FEED studies in
the other new energy markets.
In addition to the multi-year project framework
agreement with TenneT, the Group is strongly
positioned to further capitalise on the offshore wind
EPC market, through its collaboration with Hitachi
Energy, a market-leading equipment manufacturer,
to provide joint grid integration and associated
infrastructure.

Factors affecting the Group's prospects Group's current position and outlook

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Cost competitiveness: the ability to
maintain a sustainable, cost competitive
position to win contracts and positive
economic returns through operational
excellence.
Cost management: the Group focuses on
continuous innovation, the application of technology
and other measures to deliver cost savings and
maintain its cost competitiveness. In 2021, the
new operating model (1tec) was initiated and
further embedded during 2022. 1tec provides the
consistency and predictability of delivery required
to enable the Group to maintain high standards of
execution and deliver sector leading returns.
Availability of funding: the capital
markets' and banking appetite to finance
the global energy industry and the Group.
Net debt and liquidity: at 31 December 2022, the
Group had cash and cash equivalents of US\$450
million, net debt of US\$349 million, liquidity of US\$0.5
billion and was in compliance with its financial
covenants (taking into account the waiver secured in
early 2023 for the covenants as at Q4 2022). US\$600
million (68%) of the Group's borrowing facilities
mature in November 2026, with the remaining 32%
maturing in steps over the period to October 2024.
The Group has stated its ambition, supported by its
business plan, to transition to a net cash position,
reducing its reliance on external borrowings.

The Group's prospects are subject to inherent forecasting risks relating to the Group's principal risks and uncertainties, which include inter alia low order intake, loss of financial capacity, macro-economic uncertainty, prevailing oil price environment, impact of energy transition, ability to re-enter core markets, and the ability of the Group to deliver its strategic initiatives.

The Directors have determined that a three-year period to 31 December 2025 (the Period) is the most appropriate duration for its viability assessment period. This Period has been selected as it provides the Board sufficient visibility into the Group's clients' capital and operational expenditure plans, it covers the period over which existing backlog is executed, and it is consistent with the Group's business plan duration. These elements comprise the foundation for modelling the Group's financial performance, including sensitivities and scenarios, which instructs the Directors on whether there is a reasonable expectation of viability over the Period.

The key assumptions within the Group's business plan for the Period include:

  • Oil price: US\$85 per barrel in 2023, reducing to US\$80 per barrel in 2024 and US\$75 per barrel in 2025
  • Accessible market: continued access to a diversified pipeline of opportunities throughout the Period, excluding Saudi Arabia and Russia
  • New order intake: a book-to-bill of 1x or greater in each year of the plan in both E&C and Asset Solutions business units
  • Margins: EBIT margins in E&C remain at lower levels in the near-term as a result of low order intake in recent periods, an underperforming mature contract portfolio, limited contribution from new awards and a reduced operating leverage. A recovery in the medium-term is expected, driven by the return of awards in the Group's core markets in addition to the TenneT offshore wind framework agreement. Asset Solutions is expected to continue its resilient performance with revenue growth at healthy margins
  • Cash collections: receipt of a small number of high value collections, as described in the going concern assessment in note 2.5 to the consolidated financial statements
  • Liquidity and net debt: the Group has a long-term capital structure through its senior secured notes (due in 2026), and RCF and bilateral loans which were recently extended until October 2024. The Group has a significant net working capital balance which is expected to unwind during the Period, reducing net debt and improving liquidity

The impact of cost increases on the legacy mature E&C portfolio of contracts is reflected in the Group's financial performance to 31 December 2022 and in the business plan margin forecasts. With seven contracts completed or substantially completed1 in 2022 and a further five of the remaining eight active contracts scheduled for completion in 2023, the Directors have concluded that the risk of cost increases during the period is lower than in previous periods.

In order to assess the resilience of the Group to threats to its viability, the Group's business plan forecasts were subjected to robust multi-variable stress test and sensitivity analyses together with an assessment of potential mitigating actions. This analysis included scenarios that considered the crystallisation of principal risks and uncertainties arising from the following:

1. Completed and substantially completed contracts: contracts where (i) a Provisional Acceptance Certificate (PAC) has been issued by the client, or (ii) transfer of care and custody (TCC) to the client has taken place, or (iii) PAC or TCC are imminent and no substantive work remains to be performed by Petrofac

Viability statement continued

Principal risks and uncertainties Scenarios

Adverse geo-political and macro
economic changes in key geographies

Low order intake
A material decline in new order intake, notably a
c.50% reduction in value of new awards in E&C and
c.20% in Asset Solutions, spread across the Period,
which could be driven by factors such as, but not
limited to a low energy price environment, economic
uncertainty, accelerated energy transition and other
restrictions such as sanctions.

Failure to deliver strategic initiatives

Poor project execution
EBIT margin deterioration of c.1% for E&C, which
could be driven by cost overruns and adverse
commercial or legal settlements. Delays in material
cash collections.

Loss of financial capacity
The Group retains access to financing at current
levels and secure guarantees in support of new
contract awards.

Breaches of laws, regulations, and
ethical standards
No financial impact that threatens viability would
crystalise from contingent liabilities during the Period
(refer to note 30)

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

The scenarios above were modelled in combination to assess the impact on the Group's liquidity headroom and financial covenant metrics. While the Group is expected to retain sufficient liquidity and covenant compliance under this downside scenario, there is a material uncertainty with respect to the Group's ability to maintain liquidity covenant compliance and positive liquidity, linked to the timing of receipt of a small number of relatively high value collections, as described in note 2.5.

The Directors have also evaluated mitigating actions that management could realistically take to avoid or reduce the impact or occurrence of the principal risks and uncertainties materialising. Management has a track record of implementing cost saving measures, such as during 2020 and 2021 in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and fall in oil prices, and taking actions to maintain sufficient liquidity in the absence of budgeted new awards and working capital unwind. Consequently, the Directors are confident that management could continue to build on such measures in response to the crystallisation of principal risks and uncertainties and have modelled such cost savings accordingly.

The Directors also considered the following key assumptions (the assumptions) in its viability assessment:

  • Oil price: with the current sustained higher energy price environment, the Group will benefit from improvements in the new order outlook and commercial and operating environment in both the E&C and Asset Solutions divisions
  • Winning work: the Group expects to continue to win work based on its resources, competencies, experience and track record as a leading contractor to the energy industry and the impact of restricted geographies in the pipeline will not have a material impact on future prospects
  • Access to finance: the Group will continue to have access to finance at maturity of the existing facilities during the Period, alternatively will repay those facilities as it transitions to a net cash position
  • Other adverse events and conditions: the Group is exposed to inherent risks, for example, poor operational execution, unfavourable commercial settlements and/or adverse outcomes in disclosed contingent liabilities (refer to note 30), which could – based on the nature, amount and timing of such events and conditions – threaten its viability. Notwithstanding the material uncertainty referenced above, based on available liquidity headroom, the occurrence of such events and conditions are assessed not to fully erode liquidity or covenant headroom, after available mitigations
  • Mitigations available: the specific mitigations modelled include reducing operating costs and continued suspension of the dividend. Additional actions are in the control of – or realistically available to – management, such as further disposals of non-core assets

The Group actively monitors and responds to the risks identified in the viability assessment scenarios. There is a risk that future conditions will be more adverse than assumed, particularly with respect to the timing of collections that has given rise to a statement of material uncertainty within the going concern assessment. However, the Directors concluded, after conducting a robust assessment taking into account the Group's current position, prospects, principal risks and uncertainties and the assumptions listed above, that it has a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the three-year assessment period to 31 December 2025.

Chair's introduction

RENÉ MÉDORI Chair

Chair's introduction

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Group's Corporate governance report for 2022.

Like other businesses in this sector, Petrofac has faced numerous macroeconomic headwinds, including labour shortages, cost inflation and supply chain delays during the year.

Despite this challenging backdrop, the business has remained resilient and has made good operational progress in resolving challenges on pandemic-affected legacy projects. The Group has worked to capitalise on progress made in 2021 and signs of recovery are beginning to be seen.

Board changes

May 2022 saw the departure of Andrea Abt and George Pierson as members of our Board. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them both for their contributions to the Company during their six-year tenure on the Board.

At the end of March 2023, Sami Iskander, our Group Chief Executive, stepped down from the Board. During his tenure with Petrofac, Sami oversaw the resolution of the SFO's investigation, and led a comprehensive refinancing programme. He has reshaped the business and put it firmly on a path to growth.

On 1 April 2023 Tareq Kawash joined as our new Group Chief Executive. With 30 years' international EPC leadership experience, and an impressive business development track record, the Board believes he will be well placed to build on the foundations laid by Sami, and we look forward to welcoming him to the Board.

Governance

The Board understands the benefits of annual performance evaluations, both for Directors on an individual basis, as well as for the Board as a whole. So, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, an externally facilitated effectiveness evaluation was undertaken during the year. This provided an objective view of our performance and proposed areas for focus as we continue to modernise our approach.

Diversity and inclusion

Diversity and inclusion continue to be focal points for the Board as these are considered to be significant factors in the Company's future success. We believe that an inclusive and diverse workforce promotes safety, productivity and wellbeing, and underpins our ability to attract and retain employees.

Looking ahead

Over the year ahead, we will continue to focus on getting Petrofac back to delivering major projects at scale, and to building and developing relationships with our key clients. As Tareq joins the Board, we will endeavour to build on the foundations set by Sami to win new opportunities.

As a Board, we will continue to ensure that we make the right decisions to support the long-term sustainable success of our business to create long-term value for shareholders.

I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their continued support over recent years.

RENÉ MÉDORI Chair 27 April 2023

Good governance is central to our business and as a Board, a key priority is to continue to do what is best for our Company, our employees, our clients and our shareholders."

The UK Corporate Governance Code

As a Jersey incorporated company listed in the UK, Petrofac is subject to the principles and provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code (UK Code). The UK Code underpins the corporate governance framework for premium listed companies and sets out principles and provisions of good governance with compliance with the UK Code resting with the Board. A copy of the UK Code is available at www.frc.org.uk. Petrofac is required to explain how the Company has complied with the UK Code and applied the principles and provisions set out therein.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

This Governance report details how the Company has applied the principles and complied with the provisions of the UK Code. For the year ended 31 December 2022, the Board has been compliant in all but one aspect of the UK Code.

Provision 19 of the UK Code states that the chair of a company should not remain in post beyond nine years from the date of first appointment, although it does allow for an extension of the chair's tenure for a limited time to support effective succession planning and development of a diverse board. While he has served less than nine years as Chair, René Médori's tenure as a Board member reached nine years in 2021 and, as a result, he is no longer considered to meet the definition of independent in the UK Code. The 2021 Annual Report noted that Mr Médori's tenure would be extended to provide continuity on the Board following the challenges recently faced by the Group as well as changes to the Board. The Nominations Committee has recommended that, in light of the forthcoming change in Group Chief Executive, Mr Médori remain in post through 2024. Further details are set out on page 112.

During 2022, the Company complied with all relevant requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the UK Listing Rules and narrative reporting requirements.

The following table sets out where shareholders can find further information on how the Company has applied the principles of the UK Code within this Annual Report.

1. Board leadership and company purpose

The Board sets the tone of the Company with regard to the corporate governance framework and the application of corporate values and behaviours.

Corporate governance report

BOARD LEADERSHIP AND COMPANY PURPOSE

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Board governance structure

As a Jersey-registered entity, Petrofac Limited is bound by requirements set out in the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. However, although not required to comply with the UK Companies Act 2006, our Directors are also informed by UK practice and wish to act in good faith to promote the long-term success of the Group.

In determining the Group's strategic direction, and the sustainability of the business model, the Board is conscious of its collective responsibilities to all stakeholders. It seeks to ensure that the necessary corporate and management structures are in place for our strategy to be implemented effectively. The Board seeks to ensure there is an effective governance framework in place across the Group. It recognises that the Group's longterm success depends on a commitment to good governance standards, with governance an element that should be ingrained in our behaviours, the way we make decisions and run our business, rather than simply a compliance metric.

Matters reserved

The Board has a formal schedule of matters reserved for its decision making and approval. These matters include responsibility for the overall management and performance of the Group and the approval of its long-term objectives, strategy, budgets, material contracts, capital commitments, risk appetite, the long-term viability statements and key policies. The matters reserved for decision by the Board are regularly reviewed and approved by the Board.

Board activities and key focus areas

The main priorities of the Board are to provide leadership and guidance in support of the Group's strategic priorities, with consideration to the Group's financial performance. The Board also focuses on good governance, compliance, and risk management procedures and processes to ensure they are fully embedded across the Group and to ensure succession plans are in place throughout the organisation. The views and differing perspectives of the Group's stakeholders are also taken into account as part of Board discussions.

The Board spent time considering a number of strategic topics during the year. The key activities of the Board are set out in the following chart.

How the Board spent its time during the year – 2022

Strategic matters 56%

Company purpose is central to our business and, with values that are embedded within the organisation, we can create a culture that optimises performance and delivers results."

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Governance framework

We believe our corporate governance framework underpins good governance practices and enables the Board to provide effective stewardship of the Company.

The Board

Provides leadership and direction to ensure long-term success by setting a sustainable strategy and overseeing its implementation. Provides rigorous challenge to management and ensures appropriate systems and processes are in place to monitor and manage enterprise risk and internal controls. Is responsible for the financial performance and overall corporate governance of the Group, delegating certain matters to its principal committees, which report to the Board at every meeting.

Responsible for day-to-day operational management, the communication and implementation of strategic decisions, and administrative matters. Identifies and reviews matters for recommendation to the Board and its Committees. Supported by management committees, including the Group Executive Committee, Third Party Risk Committee, Disclosure Committee, Guarantee Committee and Group Risk Committee.

BOARD LEADERSHIP AND COMPANY PURPOSE CONTINUED

Meeting attendance

2022 returned to a more usual year for Board meetings, with six scheduled meetings held, supplemented with ad hoc meetings to review items of business that needed to be addressed outside of scheduled meetings. Details of Director attendance are set out below.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Directors engage effectively during meetings, with scrutiny and constructive debate encouraged and Non-executive Directors able to seek clarification from management where required. Members of operational and functional management, one and two tiers below Director level, are also routinely invited to present to the Board on matters under consideration. This allows specific matters to be brought to the attention of the Board and allows the Board to deepen their understanding at both local and functional levels, while gaining an awareness of specific nuances that may not always be obvious in written reports. It is felt this enhances the Board's knowledge of the business, while enabling the Directors to consider key individuals who have been identified through the succession planning process.

2 Ms Akbar was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee following the AGM held in May 2022.

3 Ms Di Carlo and Mr Davies were appointed as members of the Compliance and Ethics Committee following the AGM held in May 2022, with Ms Di Carlo succeeding Mr Pierson as Committee Chair.

Site visits

The Board has historically visited at least one operational site each year, with the purpose of meeting with local management, project teams and graduates, while experiencing first-hand the project development, all with the aim of better understanding the scale of our operations.

As a consequence of continuing travel restrictions at many of our sites, the opportunity to arrange a site visit for the whole Board was not feasible. However, individual site visits by Executive Directors were completed during the year.

Following his appointment as Chief Financial Officer on 1 September 2021, Afonso Reis e Sousa visited many of our offices and sites as part of his continuing induction. While on a trip to the Aberdeen office, he visited the Seagreen project site, which once completed, will be Scotland's largest and the world's deepest offshore wind farm. Along with members of the Malaysia management team, he visited our supply base in Kemaman, as well as a contractor's fabrication yard on the east coast of Malaysia. This visit enabled them to present key safety messages to the team and better understand our warehousing and logistics operations.

During 2022, Mr Iskander and Mr Reis e Sousa each spent time in Algeria, visiting our local offices, in addition to the Tinrhert and Ain Tsila project sites. While on site they discussed the progress of each project as well as the Company's ambition to grow the business in Algeria. They both also visited our Thai Oil Clean Fuels Project in Sriracha, Thailand, touring the greenfield operations and complex brownfield work. While in Thailand, Mr Iskander held a townhall with the Petrofac team where he reiterated the importance of the project for the community, the Company, and Thailand in general.

Culture oversight

AREA LINK TO CULTURE

The Board recognises that
having a defined purpose
and vision, with values
and supporting behaviours
embedded within the
organisation, helps to create
a culture that optimises
performance and delivers
long-term results. The Board
sets the tone regarding the
application of our corporate
values and behaviours,
taking into consideration
the views and interests of all
stakeholders. The Company's
values articulate the qualities
we wish all employees to
demonstrate, and we aim
for these to be embedded
within all our operational
practices. The Group Executive
Committee is delegated
with the responsibility for
ensuring that the policies
and behaviours set at Board
level are communicated and
implemented effectively across
the Group. During the year,
the Board was satisfied that
the overarching practices
and behaviours were aligned
with the Company's purpose,
values and strategy. The Board
monitors the Group's culture
by reviewing the following
insights throughout the year:
Employee engagement
MORE INFORMATION / Pages 21, 57
A Workforce Forum was established in 2019 to enable the Board and the Executive team to gauge the mood of the workforce, better
understand their ideas, concerns, and perspective, plus ascertain what it is about Petrofac that motivates and engages them.
This Forum, which meets biannually, allows the Board to converse directly with employees representing different levels, functions,
and geographies, and to provide deeper insights into the everyday realities of employees across the Group.
Townhalls Townhalls are held across the Group throughout the year. These allow information to be disseminated quickly and enable local leadership
to communicate the right behaviours and cultural expectations. Townhalls were held by Mr Iskander and Mr Reis e Sousa following the
announcement of our full-year and half-year results. Subsequent townhalls were held throughout the business to cascade the information
provided. A further townhall was held by Mr Iskander and Mr Médori at the end of the year with the Executive team to discuss the
MORE INFORMATION / Page 21, 57 challenges facing the organisation.
Globally aligned reward
and incentive schemes
Our long-term incentive schemes are aligned across the Group and have key targets aimed to drive the right behaviours and values
of our business. The alignment of our compensation and benefit plans with our corporate culture enables us to recruit and retain the
best talent.

Health & Safety
MORE INFORMATION / Pages 50-53
Across Petrofac, our aim is for zero safety incidents. We see this as entirely realistic and achievable and are proud to say that much of
the time, we live up to this goal. To maintain our performance, we continually enhance our programme of health and safety measures and
look to refine the way we measure our performance. Safety moments are held at the start of every meeting, with updates on Health &
Safety statistics across the Group presented to every Board meeting. This allows the Board to monitor year-on-year trends and to ensure
that the right practices are being followed. The launch of new applications during the year to make reporting easier and simpler, including
an HSE observation app and a driving improvement app, are helping to effect a culture change by improving the situation awareness of
health and safety matters.
Compliance & Ethics Our Compliance & Ethics Committee actively reviews Speak Up reports and considers investigations reports and analysis by issue type
at each meeting. This enables Directors to determine any trends or circumstances that may need further analysis or investigation. Code
of Ethics training is compulsory for all new joiners.
MORE INFORMATION / Pages 123-124
Training All employees are required to complete an annual online training of the Petrofac Code of Ethics to demonstrate their understanding of,
and commitment to, the highest standards of business conduct and ensure that we do business the right way.
MORE INFORMATION / Pages 65-67
Reporting Reports and updates are provided to every Board meeting on all key contracts, financial matters and all material legal claims. In addition,
the Audit Committee reviews the internal audit reports, including areas of non-compliance with our internal controls and actions taken to
address any non-compliance, and our key risk reports, at each meeting.

Stakeholder engagement

Stakeholder engagement enables the Board to better understand what matters to each stakeholder group, and recognising their differing interests is integral to Board discussions and central to the execution of our strategy. The engagement with each stakeholder group is discussed in more detail on pages 20 to 23.

The Board places significant importance on listening to, and establishing and maintaining good relationships with its stakeholders. This engagement allows the Board to better understand the impact of decisions taken on those stakeholders. It also ensures the Directors are kept informed of significant changes in operating environment as well as the broader market, including the identification of emerging risks and trends, which in turn can be factored into strategic discussions.

Engaging with employees is valued highly by the Board. Directors are kept informed on the outcomes of all employee engagement surveys and are active participants in the Petrofac Workforce Forum. This continued engagement and the sharing of views throughout the year provides insight on the realities being faced by employees across the Group.

Open and constructive engagement with major shareholders and other investors is also considered vital. It enables the Board to understand their views on environmental, social and governance issues, while providing the opportunity to discuss the Group's performance against strategy. These discussions not only focus on delivering increased value, but also assess the potential impact of decisions on the Group's wider stakeholder groups. The Board acknowledges that, when making decisions, it is not always possible to provide positive outcomes for all stakeholders, with decisions, on occasion, made based on competing priorities. In such circumstances, relevant factors are carefully assessed, with the best interests of the Group, as a whole, taken into account when a course of action is selected.

This includes the needs of the different stakeholders, as well as the consequences of any decision in the short, medium and long term.

Section 172 arrangements

Under Section 172 of the UK Companies Act 2006, company boards have a duty to promote the success of their company for the benefit of their members as a whole, whilst having regard for the interests of all stakeholders, including employees, shareholders, suppliers and customers, the community and the environment.

As a Jersey-incorporated company, Petrofac is not required to comply with this legislation. Nevertheless, we are informed by UK practice and follow the UK Corporate Governance Code which endorses this rule. In any event, we will always act in good faith to promote the long-term success of the Group for the benefit of all stakeholders. When making any decisions, each Director is encouraged to act in the way they consider to best promote the Company's success for the benefit of its members as a whole, while having due regard to the Section 172 requirements.

An overview of how and why we engage with key stakeholders and how we have considered their requirements relating to principal decisions taken during the year to ensure effective and continued engagement is set out on pages 20 to 23.

Share capital

The Company's ordinary shares are quoted on the London Stock Exchange, and at the date of this report, the issued share capital (and total voting rights) consisted of 522,049,521 ordinary shares. Details relating to the rights and obligations attached to the Company's ordinary shares are set out in the Company's Articles of Association.

The Company may purchase its own shares providing the shareholder resolution authorising the purchase specifies the maximum number of shares, the maximum and minimum prices which may be paid, and a date, not later than 18 months after the passing of the resolution, on which the authority to purchase is to expire. The Company will seek to renew its existing authority for this, which will expires at the conclusion of the 2023 AGM.

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Full details of this year's AGM are set out in the Notice of Meeting. All resolutions will be conducted on a poll, with the results announced to the market as soon as practicable after the meeting. At last year's AGM, all resolutions were passed, with votes in support ranging from 74.41% to 99.84%. Shareholders unable to attend the AGM are reminded that they can submit questions in advance of the meeting at [email protected].

Investor Relations programme

Constructive engagement with major shareholders and other investors throughout the year is considered by the Board to be a critical activity, as this enables the Directors to better understand their views, while establishing and maintaining good relationships. Our Investor Relations team acts as the principal focal point for contact, with an annual programme of meetings and presentations with existing and prospective shareholders and other investors, as well as research analysts. Directors also attend meetings with major shareholders and other investors throughout the year, to facilitate direct lines of communication with management and the Board.

The Investor Relations team also conduct sessions with stakeholders following the publication of our full-year and half-year financial results. During 2022, regular dialogue was maintained with these stakeholders, focusing on key operational matters. Additional meetings were also held with our corporate brokers to better understand investor sentiment. Analyst research notes are regularly circulated to all Directors, with brokers' reports submitted to Board meetings. During 2022, approximately 172 meetings were held, with significant focus given to E&C operational performance, the future projects pipeline and liquidity.

Governance-specific meetings were also arranged for the Chair and Senior Independent Director, allowing them the opportunity to gain insights on governance matters from a shareholder perspective, and to hear directly from key investors on matters including succession planning and remuneration.

Response to shareholder voting less than 80%

Prior to the 2022 AGM, René Médori and Matthias Bichsel consulted with the Company's major shareholders and proxy advisors. While a significant number of shareholders were supportive of all resolutions, including the rationale used by the Committee in determining Executive Directors' remuneration, it was recognised that some shareholders did not hold the same view, with one shareholder concerned with the weighting of the non-financial targets used in remuneration outcomes. Having reflected on these comments, greater transparency and clarity on remuneration outcomes have been provided. The opportunity to consult again with major shareholders was also taken towards the end of 2022, as consideration was given to the triennial review of our Remuneration Policy. The Committee has carefully considered the views of our key stakeholders, as well as overall Group performance, in taking decisions on executive remuneration.

Major shareholders

In accordance with DTR 5, information provided to the Company is published on a Regulatory Information Service at the time of receipt. The Company has received notification of material interests in voting rights over the Company's issued ordinary share capital. This is set out in the table below:

Board roles

The roles and responsibilities of our Directors are set out on page 103. Our Non-executive Directors are encouraged to share their experience, and each is well-positioned to support management, whilst providing constructive challenge. All Directors are encouraged to be open and forthright in their approach as we believe this helps to forge strong working relationships, allowing them to make their best possible contribution.

Regular meetings between the Chair and Group Chief Executive are held throughout the year, allowing general matters to be discussed and enabling them to reach a mutual understanding of each other's views. The Chair and SID also maintain regular contact between scheduled Board meetings, with time also set aside at each meeting for the Chair to meet with the Nonexecutive Directors without the presence of management. The relationships between these roles are important, as these individuals represent the views of both management and Directors, respectively. The combination of these meetings ensures that the Chair is fully informed of all views, which assists in setting agendas and ensures all Directors can contribute effectively through their individual and collective experiences.

Dealing with potential conflicts of interest

Should a potential conflict of interest arise during a term of appointment, processes and procedures are in place for Directors to identify and declare any such conflict, whether matter-specific or situational. The Company's Articles of Association permit the Board to authorise such conflicts, which can be limited in scope. Notifications are required to be made by the Director concerned prior to or at a Board meeting, and all Directors have a duty to update the whole Board of any changes in personal circumstances. During 2022, all conflict management procedures were adhered to, managed and reported effectively.

DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITIES COMPOSITION, SUCCESSION, AND EVALUATION

Board composition

At the date of this report, the Board has eight Directors, comprising the Chair (who was independent on appointment), four independent Non-executive Directors, one non-independent Non-executive Director and two Executive Directors. Their full biographies are detailed on pages 99 and 100. All Board appointments are subject to a formal and rigorous procedure led by the Nominations Committee. Details of the work undertaken by this Committee during 2022 are set out on pages 111 to 113.

Our two Executive Directors have rolling service contracts, containing a notice period provision of 12 months by either party. Our Non-executive Directors each have letters of appointment that contain a termination provision of three months' notice by either party. The terms and conditions of appointment of all Directors are available for inspection at our registered office in Jersey and at our Corporate Services office in London. In accordance with the UK Code, Directors offer themselves for reappointment by shareholders at each AGM.

The appointment and replacement of directors is governed by the Company's Articles of Association. the UK Code, Companies Jersey (Law) 1991 and related legislation. The Directors may from time to time appoint one or more Directors to the Board and any person may be appointed to be a director. Under the Articles, any such director shall hold office only until the next AGM where they will stand for annual election.

Directors' skills and experience

Each of our Directors has a varied career history, and considerable effort has been taken to ensure that the Board retains the right balance of skills, capabilities, knowledge diversity, and industry expertise to ensure we are able to run the business effectively and deliver sustainable growth. The Board skills matrix below details key skills and experience identified as necessary for oversight of the Group and the effective execution of our strategy.

COMPOSITION, SUCCESSION, AND EVALUATION CONTINUED

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Board evaluation

The UK Code requires the Board to undertake a formal and rigorous annual evaluation of its performance and that of its committees, with a provision requiring that this be externally facilitated every three years. The evaluation process provides the Board with an opportunity to consider and reflect on how it operates and the quality and effectiveness of its decision making, the range and level of discussion, and for each Director to consider their own contribution and performance.

At the end of 2021, the Chair led an internal review following completion of an online questionnaire. The results of this review were presented to the Board in early 2022, with the areas of focus identified including strategy, ESG, and succession planning. These areas were discussed and reviewed by the Board throughout the year.

2022 Board evaluation – review process

In accordance with our three-year cycle, towards the end of 2022, the Board engaged the services of Independent Audit Limited, which has no other connection to the Group, to conduct an externally facilitated evaluation.

The robust process involved a review of the year's Board and Committee papers plus one-on-one interviews with each Director, the Secretary to the Board, and members of the Group Executive Committee and management who regularly interact with the Board and attend meetings. In addition, representatives from Independent Audit Limited observed the scheduled Board and Committee meetings held during November 2022. Feedback from the evaluation was contained in a report setting out the observations and recommendations and this is scheduled to be submitted to, and discussed by, the Board in early 2023, with Independent Audit Limited in attendance to answer any questions and facilitate the discussion.

2022 Board evaluation – outcome

The external review recognised the formidable challenges that the Board had faced over the preceding three years, not least the disruptions caused by the SFO investigation, the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing market volatility within the sector. The Board was recognised to have displayed a number of key strengths, which had helped steer the Company through these challenges and were also expected to help them withstand the current pressures. The process gave credit to the Directors for facing and dealing with each of these challenges and recognising the high levels of commitment that had been displayed over the period.

The review observed that each Director brought a range of complementary skills to the boardroom, with sectoral and geographical experience, as well as a broad range of industry and functional expertise. The Board was considered to be willing to question management during meetings, while providing constructive challenge. The contributions received from the management team is highly appreciated by the Non-executive Directors.

It was acknowledged that the Board had had a positive impact on the development of the enhanced compliance processes and the more practical, rigorous risk management framework. Given the issues faced in recent years, the Board had shown a nocompromise commitment to compliance and had helped to set in motion a positive change in attitudes and culture throughout the organisation.

The effectiveness of the Chair was also considered as part of the review. His understanding of the business was recognised, and he was seen as encouraging discussions and participation during meetings. Of note was how the Chair was able to handle highpressure situations. The experience received from the SID was also acknowledged and his input on strategy and risk was greatly valued by management.

The Board Committees were considered to be functioning well, with each having well-established remits and terms of reference.

Following completion of the external evaluation, the Board remains satisfied that it continues to operate effectively and believes the Directors are performing well and as would be expected within their relevant roles.

The Board reviewed the Company's strategy and Net Zero roadmap, providing
feedback on the plan. Targets have been set to ensure the ESG strategy can
be fully embedded within the Group.
Succession planning Review the Board composition, to ensure succession plans are in place
for the immediate and medium term. Give continued focus to leadership
and talent development initiatives.
Significant focus was given to succession planning throughout the year, not least
as a result of the forthcoming change in Group Chief Executive. Succession and
talent management plans are in place for senior management, with the Nominations
Committee maintaining strong oversight of this process.

The key recommendations arising from the 2022 effectiveness review

The 2022 external evaluation recognised that in the immediate term, the Board's focus would be on dealing with urgent business challenges. However, areas for focus were identified where improvements could be made over the coming year. These are set out in the following table:

THEME AREA FOR RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENT
Board composition In light of the forthcoming change of Group Chief Executive, planning the timing of the departures of Directors will be important for the Board. Accordingly, a transparent,
systematic, and inclusive selection process will be a focus for the Nominations Committee over the coming years, ensuring candidates with the right skills and attributes
can be identified, and a suitable timeline agreed.
Management
engagement
Further strengthening the relationships between management and the Non-executive Directors to ensure constructive relationships are maintained. Establishing a balance
to harness the experience and insights of existing members of the Board, with the goals and ambitions of new members. Continue to focus on management and talent
development initiatives and further develop succession plans to progress the diversity agenda.
Meeting formats Improving the quality and cadence of information flows between management and the Board, with consideration to be given to reworking and refreshing the format and
schedule of Board and Committee meetings. Ensuring sufficient time is set aside for key discussion items, while creating sufficient space for reflection. Encouraging
Committee feedback on matters that are of most importance to the Group.
Employee engagement Further development of the workforce engagement arrangements currently in place to ensure the Non-executive Directors gain first-hand insight as to the culture of the
business and to ensure that the appropriate behaviours are being displayed throughout the organisation. Non-executive Directors to be encouraged to visit different parts
of the business on a more informal basis, including taking part in site safety audits, with a return to the Board's practice of in-person annual site visits.

Dear shareholder

This report provides an overview of the work of the Nominations Committee and its activities during the year.

The Committee takes the lead on all Board and Committee appointments, including the process for identifying and nominating suitable candidates, to ensure Petrofac continues to have the right balance of skills, experience, and diversity of thought to help achieve our strategic objectives.

The Committee monitors the external commitments of the Nonexecutive Directors who, from appointment, commit to allocating sufficient time to discharge their responsibilities effectively. The Committee also considers potential conflicts of interest, external time commitments, and residency status.

Andrea Abt and George Pierson, having each served on the Board for two consecutive three-year terms, stepped down at the 2022 AGM. The Committee recognises the significant contributions they each made to Petrofac during their tenure and, on the Board's behalf, I would like to thank them for their significant support. As a result of their departure, the Committee's membership was reduced during the year. The biographies for all current Committee members are set out on pages 99 and 100.

The Company announced in November 2022 that Sami Iskander would step down as Group Chief Executive at the end of March 2023. The Board acknowledges the invaluable contribution made by Sami since his appointment to the Board in January 2021, having overseen the resolution of the SFO's investigation and the Group's comprehensive refinancing programme in 2021. He has reshaped the business, putting it back on a path to growth. On behalf of the Board, I extend our heartfelt thanks to him for his unwavering energy, decisive leadership, and passionate ownership of Petrofac's strategy.

Following on from the process undertaken in 2020, the search process to identify Sami's successor as Group Chief Executive focused on candidates with the skills and experience necessary for an organisation of the scale, complexity and global nature of Petrofac and its focus on returning to growth. The profile and requirements necessary to fill the role were determined, taking into consideration the current and future needs of the Group. In addition to operational and commercial expertise, soft skills were included as part of the required criteria, including critical assessment, cultural sensitivity, judgement, and the ability to develop trust and forge new relationships.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Following completion of interviews conducted by the Chair and all other Non-executive Directors, the Committee unanimously agreed to recommend the appointment of Tareq Kawash, with effect from 1 April 2023. His prior experience, knowledge, impressive EPC track record, business development expertise and personal strengths were all taken into consideration during the interview process, and it was agreed by the Committee that he would be a strong addition to the Board as we embark on the next phase of our return to growth.

On appointment to the Board, all Directors undertake a detailed, tailored, comprehensive induction programme, which is intended to account for each individual's differing requirements, concentrating on key focus areas. This ensures Directors are fully prepared for their new role, taking their background and experience into consideration. Tareq Kawash's induction programme will run throughout the year and full details will be provided in our 2023 report.

Each of our Directors has a varied career history, and considerable effort has been taken to ensure that the Board retains the right balance of skills, capabilities, knowledge, diversity and industry expertise to ensure we are able to run the business effectively and deliver sustainable growth. In line with the findings of our Board effectiveness review, and supported by their biographies, the Board believes that the election and re-election at the 2023 AGM of those Directors standing is in the best interests of the Company.

My own succession continued to be a matter of consideration for the Committee during the year. In line with policy, I did not attend those meetings, or parts of meetings, or vote upon matters where I may reasonably have been expected to have had a conflict of interest or lack of impartiality. I joined the Board as a Nonexecutive Director in January 2012, becoming Chair in May 2018.

My tenure on the Board therefore now exceeds the maximum threshold set out in Provision 19 of the UK Corporate Governance Code. However, given the recent change of Group Chief Executive, and following shareholder engagement in early 2023, the Committee has proposed that I continue as Chair to provide continuity on the Board as Tareq settles into his new role. It was felt that it would be inappropriate to consider a change of Chair this year, with the requirements to maintain a stable and experienced board considered paramount while the Company continues to rebuild. The formal process to find a suitable successor will be headed by Matthias Bichsel as Senior Independent Director and this will commence during 2024.

Succession planning for senior management also remains a significant focus area for the Committee, with specific consideration given to those employees who have been identified as high-potential talent from across the Group. In January 2023, the Board was able to meet with a selection of employees to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and the challenges being faced.

The Board believes that continuous training and development supports Board effectiveness. The Company is committed to offering tailored training to provide each Director with the necessary resources to refresh, update and enhance their skills, knowledge, and capabilities. With the ever-evolving regulatory landscape in which the Group operates, it is critical that the Board remains aware of recent and upcoming developments in the wider legal and regulatory environment. The Secretary to the Board regularly updates the Board on the governance, legislative and regulatory matters that may impact the Group and, where relevant, briefings from external advisors on a variety of strategic and significant topics are provided. This year, our Board evaluation process was externally facilitated and details on the actions arising from this review are set out on page 110.

The progression of emerging talent is reviewed on an annual basis, not only to check that appropriate processes are in place to identify, monitor and develop future potential leaders, but also to allow the Committee to discuss such talent on an individual basis. This review process is integral to the Group's strategic plans, with a principal objective for the Committee to build a strong, resilient and diverse talent pipeline, which is in line with Petrofac's purpose

and values. Focus also remains on developing employee skills and capabilities for the future, with the aim of strengthening the talent pipeline and further developing our succession plans.

Diversity and inclusion continue to be focal points for the Committee. It considers them to be significant factors in the Company's success, as we believe that an inclusive and diverse workforce promotes safety, productivity and wellbeing, and underpins our ability to attract and retain employees.

Throughout the year, the Committee continued to provide oversight to ensure effective strategies are in place that will develop and strengthen our talent pipelines and promote a culture that upholds the Group's principles of inclusion, diversity and equality. We believe this will support the delivery of our strategic objectives and allow us to attract a diverse talent base reflective and representative of our core geographies and of the communities in which we work.

Petrofac remains committed to not only helping improve the levels of female representation throughout the Group and addressing the gender imbalance, but to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment, irrespective of gender, race, colour, religion, sexual orientation or marital status. The aim is to create a workplace that celebrates the diversity of all its employees and stakeholders.

The Board showed its support to the #BreaktheBias pledge in March 2022. Aiming to show solidarity and commitment to forging a gender-equal world that is free of bias, where difference is valued and celebrated.

Nominations Committee report continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

The Committee recognises the numerous initiatives that have been implemented over the year to address diversity and inclusion and to shine a spotlight on the importance of cultivating an inclusive culture across the Group. Our diversity awareness programme continued throughout 2022, with many initiatives introduced to promote and drive the diversity agenda and develop our diversity strategy. We were particularly pleased to see progress in hiring and developing many local nationals in a number of markets around the world. Further details of these successes can be found on pages 56-58.

While significant improvements are being seen, the Committee acknowledges that work remains to be done, at Board and senior leadership level, as well as across the organisation. Notwithstanding that engineering and construction continue to be predominately male-dominated professions, we are determined that further progress can be made in this area over the coming years. While we appreciate there are long-term challenges to overcome, we are pleased with the improvements that have been made in respect to gender diversity within the Group's talent pipeline. Further information on our approach to diversity and inclusion and the initiatives taken throughout 2022 are set out on page 56 to 58.

The Committee acknowledges the recent policy statement issued by the FCA regarding changes to the Listing Rules (LR 9.8.6R(9)), which relate to enhanced disclosures in gender and ethnic diversity at board level. The changes recommend that boards and leadership teams have a minimum of 40% women by the end of 2025, and further, that at least one of the roles of Chair, SID, Chief Executive or Chief Financial Officer is held by a woman. These changes take effect for financial years beginning on or after 1 April 2022 and will be on a comply or explain basis.

While these new requirements are not applicable to the Company for this reporting period, the Committee is cognisant of the changing regulatory landscape on gender and ethnic diversity and is mindful that changes will be necessary in the future for the Company to comply fully. The Committee is aware that it is unlikely that the set targets will be met by the Board in the short term. However, as vacancies in the key roles identified become available, additional consideration will be given to these gender and ethnic requirements, while ensuring the right blend of skills, expertise, commitment and experience is maintained when suitable candidates are selected, especially taking into account the challenges and opportunities facing the Group.

Our Diversity and Inclusion policy, the purpose of which is to ensure equality of opportunity and fairness in all areas of employment, has been in place across the Group since August 2016. Our policy allows us to value the diversity of our employees, while promoting an inclusive culture across the Group. In light of the Listing Rule changes, the Committee will consider a new Board Diversity Policy during 2023 to set out our objectives and aspirations in relation to diversity and inclusion.

An overview of our progress against the FTSE Woman Leader Review recommendations over the last three years are set out below:

Women on the Board Women in senior roles

In terms of ethnicity, Petrofac is a truly diverse organisation, with more than 85 nationalities employed across the Group. Towards the end of 2021, we launched the voluntary collection of Ethnicity Data reporting in the UK. To date, over 41% of our UK workforce has responded, with 9% identifying as BAME1 . The Board also remains in full compliance with the recommendation of the Parker Review (Review), with four of the eight Directors on the Board falling within the Review's methodology classification2 .

My fellow Non-executive Directors and I were pleased to be able to attend the Petrofac Workforce Forum twice during 2022, and met individual representatives. This Forum continues to develop and remains a beneficial source for Directors to hear directly from employee representatives, particularly concerning the continuing challenges facing the business. The Committee remains committed to engaging with employees to understand their concerns and to ensure the appropriate culture is in place across the organisation. The Committee also receives feedback from employees through the PetroVoices annual survey. Further details on our employee engagement are set out on pages 21, 51 and 57.

During 2023, the Committee's focus will again be on overseeing our talent pipeline and succession initiatives. We will continue to monitor the developments arising from evolving best practice and will oversee the necessary actions that will enable us to meet our diversity targets.

  • Monitors risk exposures and future risk strategy, including the strategy for capital and liquidity management, IT risks (including data privacy and cyber risks) and climate-related risks

Dear shareholder

I am pleased to present this year's Audit Committee report, which provides an insight into the Committee's discussions and focus during another eventful year.

At the AGM in May 2022, George Pierson stepped down from the Board. As a result, Sara Akbar was appointed to the Committee to replace him. I would like to thank George for his valuable contributions during his time on the Committee and extend a warm welcome to Sara.

The Committee has had a busy agenda throughout 2022 which allowed it to discharge its responsibilities via rolling standing items and also provide sufficient time for discussion of ad hoc matters that have arisen. This report provides understanding into key areas considered by the Committee in relation to financial reporting and associated key judgements and estimates, risk management, internal control, the internal audit function, and interaction with Ernst & Young LLP (the Group's external auditor).

Traditional topics addressed during 2022 included: the going concern and viability statements; key judgements and estimates; continued review of key financial controls and risk management processes; deferred taxes and potential uncertain tax exposures; treatment of separately disclosed items; planning the audit tender process; and the continued monitoring of ongoing audit and governance reforms.

Throughout the year, the assumptions and evidence supporting the going concern and viability statements were reviewed and challenged extensively. Financial models of scenarios prepared by management demonstrating the ongoing operational challenges, including the impact of pandemic-related cost increases in the business over the assessment period, as well as the liquidity position of the Group, the principal risks, the level of headroom against committed facilities and compliance with financial covenants, were all considered by the Committee. The protracted effects of the Covid-19 pandemic continued to impact the business, as additional costs incurred on legacy contracts due

to extended schedules have not been fully recovered from our clients, resulting in net cost overruns. The Committee questioned management and sought assurance on the adequacy of the contract contingencies included in forecast costs to complete any current projects. Taking into consideration the detailed analysis undertaken, the Committee was satisfied that the going concern and viability statements remained appropriate.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Disappointingly, there are a number of prior year adjustments reflected in the financial statements, the most significant of which is in respect of the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract. The error was identified by the Group's controls and governance framework through the Group's Internal Audit function which indicated a deficiency in the internal controls of this complex project. It was detected that the subcontractor cost evaluation team did not escalate at the appropriate time the indications of cost growth following a bills of quantities review, and therefore appropriate evaluation had not occurred ahead of the issuance of the 2021 financial statements.

Following the Internal Audit findings, the Group's Investigations Team (assisted by Deloitte) concluded that the error occurred as a result of poor judgement within the project team rather than any intention to mislead. The resulting prior year adjustment of US\$48 million (represented by a reduction in revenue of US\$19 million and an increase in cost of sales of US\$29 million) has been reflected in the comparative income statement in this year's consolidated financial statements.

On concluding the investigation, the Group undertook additional assurance activities to satisfy itself that there were no other similar occurrences within the broader E&C portfolio These assurance activities consisted of specific detailed contract reviews to ensure that all material cost increases, or indicators of such, had been reflected in the contract forecasts at the appropriate time; and confirmations from the project directors of each contract and from E&C management that any information identified post year was appropriately included in the contract cost forecasts and, if necessary, reflected in the financial statements (see the principal risks and uncertainties disclosures on page 85, the Financial review on page 93 and note 2.9 to the consolidated financial statements).

In September 2022, the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 were subject to a review by the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) Corporate Reporting Review Team (CRRT). The response by the Company to the request for information was discussed with me in my capacity as Chair of the Audit Committee, prior to responding to the CRRT. Additionally, details of the enquiry raised by the CRRT and the Company's response thereto were also considered by the Committee. As noted on pages 84 and 189 of this annual report, this review resulted in some classification and presentational prior year adjustments being made to the Group's consolidated income statement, and statement of cash flows, and the Company's statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2021. Full details (including other prior year adjustments identified) are included in note 2.9 to the consolidated financial statements on page 189. The CRRT has closed its enquiries.

Additionally, the Company agreed to enhance disclosures in a small number of areas in response to the review. The Committee is satisfied that the proposed enhancements have been appropriately incorporated in this annual report.

As part of its oversight of compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, the Committee discussed with the Chair of the Compliance and Ethics Committee and the Chief Compliance Officer the effectiveness of the risk management framework and system of internal controls as well as consideration of ethics and compliance matters.

A key role of the Committee is to provide positive assurance to the Board that it is satisfied that the Annual report and accounts, when taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide shareholders with the sufficient and appropriate information to enable them to assess the Group's position, performance, business model, and strategy. Our review process, which confirms the Committee is content to provide this assurance, is set out on page 120.

Looking ahead, in addition to fulfilling its normal programme of activities during the year, the Committee will be closely monitoring the macroeconomic and other conditions affecting the Group's strategy and pipeline. The Committee will continue to maintain its focus on significant judgements and estimates impacting financial reporting whilst work will also continue to ensure the Group is fully compliant with any new regulations as and when they come into force.

I would like to thank my fellow Committee members, other Directors and the management team, and the internal and external auditors for their continued support, for the open discussions held, and for the contributions provided in the support of the Committee's work throughout the year.

DAVID DAVIES

Chair of the Audit Committee 27 April 2023

Audit Committee report continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Role of the Committee

The Committee supports the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities regarding the financial statements, effectiveness of risk management and internal controls, and compliance matters. The Group has an internal control and risk management framework in place, which includes policies, standards and procedures, to ensure that adequate accounting records are maintained, and transactions are accurately recorded. In addition, the Committee has oversight of financial initiatives that remain under continuous review, which are designed to strengthen our control environment and improve financial reporting. This ensures that the Group's financial reporting process and communications to the market provide a fair, balanced and understandable assessment of the Group's performance, position and prospects.

The Committee keeps the Board informed of its activities and recommendations, with the Audit Chair providing an update to the Board after every meeting. The Committee discusses with the Board where it is not satisfied with, or believes that action or improvement is required concerning any aspect of financial reporting, risk management and internal control, compliance or audit-related activities. The Committee's Terms of Reference are available on the Petrofac website, petrofac.com.

At the date of this report, and throughout 2022, the Committee comprised independent Non-executive Directors who are all considered appropriately qualified and experienced to fulfil their duties having held senior roles across several sectors. David Davies has significant, recent and relevant financial experience, whilst Matthias Bichsel and Sara Akbar have competence relevant to the Group's sector. Members have also gained further knowledge and experience of the sector as a result of their Board membership and through various in-person and virtual site visits since their respective appointments. Furthermore, all members of the Committee have extensive general management and commercial expertise. Their full biographies can be found on pages 99 to 100.

Frequency of Audit Committee meetings

The Committee met five times during 2022. For the Directors' attendance, see the table on page 104. Invitations to attend meetings are normally extended to the Group's external auditor, the Chair, the Group Chief Executive, the Chief Financial Officer, other members of the Board, the Group General Counsel, the SVP – Finance, the Director of Group Finance, the Head of Audit and the Chief Compliance Officer. The Committee also meets with the external auditor and the Head of Audit without management present.

Further details on the division of Board responsibilities and the Committee's role in complying with the UK Code are set out on page 98 and 103. The Committee's key areas of responsibility are detailed below, and further discussion of activities in 2022 can be found on page 119.

Group external auditor

Ernst & Young LLP (EY) continued as the Group and Company's global external auditor throughout 2022.

The Committee considers the effectiveness of the external auditor on an ongoing basis, considering its independence, expertise, performance and understanding of the Group, its resourcing capabilities, culture and objectivity. The Committee remains satisfied, through its own observations and enquiries, as well as the interactions with the Executive team and senior management throughout the year, with the independence and objectivity of the external auditor and the effectiveness of the audit process.

In making this assessment, the Committee gave due consideration to: (i) views and recommendations from management and the Head of Audit; (ii) the execution of the audit plan; and (iii) the Committee's own experiences, including interactions with the external auditor, throughout the year. Key criteria of the evaluation included: professionalism in areas including competence, integrity and objectivity; constructive challenge of management and key judgements; efficiency, covering aspects such as service level and innovation in the audit process; thought leadership and value

added; and compliance with relevant legislative, regulatory and professional requirements.

The Committee Chair met with the external auditor ahead of each scheduled meeting, without management present, to discuss a range of financial reporting and internal control matters. The Committee Chair also maintained regular contact with the lead audit partner throughout the year outside of the formal meeting schedule, discussing formal agenda items ahead of upcoming meetings and reviewing any other significant matters.

Each year, EY submit their proposed audit strategy and scope, thereby ensuring the audit can be aligned with the Committee's expectations. This work is carried out with due regard to the identification and assessment of business and financial statement risks that could impact the audit as well as continuing developments within the Group.

During 2022, the audit scope included management's judgements and estimates concerning fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts; the identification and rectification of deficiencies in internal controls; robustness of management's going concern and viability statement assessments and disclosures; impairment assessments and fair value remeasurements; HMRC's challenge to the historical application of national insurance contributions; uncertain tax treatments and presentation of the separately disclosed items. Towards the end of the year and into the early part of 2023, significant work was undertaken to review the investigation related to the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract that resulted in the prior year adjustment, as well as the additional assurance activities introduced thereafter.

Audit tenure

The next competitive audit tender process is required no later than 2024, with EY required to step down, having completed its 20-year audit limit, as permitted under the provisions of The Statutory Audit Services for Large Companies Market Investigation (Mandatory Use of Competitive Tender Processes and Audit Committee Responsibilities) Order 2014 (the Order). To provide for

sufficient continuity over the audit process prior to the expiration of their audit tenure, it was agreed that the lead partner responsible for the external Group audit should rotate during the year, with Mr Daniel Trotman duly appointed.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Petrofac last conducted a competitive tender process in 2016 and, following completion of that exercise, the Committee recommended that EY be retained as the Company's external auditor. In making this recommendation, the Committee concluded that the decision was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

EY was first appointed as external auditors in October 2005 and the last year they will be permitted to act as external auditor for the Group and Company will be 2024. This matter was further considered during the year, with the Committee agreeing that the tender for a new auditor should take place during 2023 or 2024. It was recommended that EY be retained until the end of their term in 2024, with new auditors shadowing EY for the 2024 audit.

Non-audit services

To preserve the independence and objectivity of the external auditor, the Group has a non-audit services policy that restricts the nature of non-audit services that can be provided by the external auditor. This policy was last reviewed and amended in 2020 to reflect the FRC's latest Ethical Standards and the more restrictive list of services that are now permitted for an equivalent UK company with a premium listing. The policy provides clear definitions of the services that our external auditor may and may not undertake. A summary of this policy is set out below, while a copy of the full policy can be found at petrofac.com.

To ensure compliance with the policy, the Committee reviews the Group's cumulative non-audit expenditure each year and gives prior approval to the appointment of EY before any work is carried out should the nature or size of the proposed work require it. The Committee is satisfied that EY's objectivity and independence was not impaired during the year by any non-audit service agreements and confirms there were no breaches to the policy during 2022. In addition, EY has confirmed that it was compliant with FRC Revised Standard 2019 in relation to the audit engagement.

Service provided Fees in 2022
(US\$m)
Fees in 2021
(US\$m)
Group audit fee 4 3
Audit of subsidiaries' accounts 1 1
Other including non-audit services 2
Total 5 6

In 2022 EY received total fees of US\$5 million (2021: US\$6 million) consisting of US\$5 million of audit fees (2021: US\$4 million), and US\$0.1 million for non-audit and audit-related services (2021: US\$1.5 million). The total of EY's non-audit and audit-related service fees in the year equated to 2% of the audit fees for 2022 and 3% of the average audit fees for the last three years. Fees paid to EY are set out in note 5 to the financial statements. Details of any significant non-audit work undertaken this year are set out in the table above.

All engagements during 2022 were pre-approved by the Chief Financial Officer or by the Chair of the Committee and did not include any activities defined as prohibited services by the Group's non-audit services policy. In addition, and in parallel, EY performed similar safeguarding procedures to ensure that the proposed nonaudit engagements could be accepted.

Non-audit services policy summary:

  • There is a general prohibition on the provision of non-audit services by the Group external auditor (and its network) which will apply to Petrofac Limited and its subsidiaries. A narrow list of permitted non-audit services will continue to be allowed
  • Certain non-audit services are subject to an absolute prohibition
  • Permitted non-audit services (other than those required by national legislation) provided to Petrofac Limited and its subsidiaries are subject to a 70% cap (the Cap)
  • The Cap is defined as permitted non-audit fees (other than those required by national legislation) expected to be incurred in the current financial year not exceeding 70% of the average Group statutory audit fees for the previous three financial years
  • If the Cap is expected to be breached, the Audit Committee must be informed in advance to ensure that enhanced procedures are performed to obtain assurance on the Group external auditor's independence and objectivity (as defined by reference to the FRC's Revised Ethical Standard 2019)
  • All permitted non-audit services are subject to the prior approval of the Committee in advance of work commencing, subject to limited exceptions
  • The CFO's approval is required prior to engaging the Group auditor on any pre-approved permitted non-audit services
  • Committee pre-approval for permitted non-audit services is given where the estimated engagement fee in any one financial year is below US\$50,000
  • All services with estimated fee levels above the US\$50,000 threshold must be sent to the Committee for approval prior to commencement of the engagement even if defined as permitted non-audit services
  • The CFO will ensure that a full list of permitted non-audit service engagement, associated fees and continued compliance with the Cap is presented to the Committee every six months unless the Cap is expected to be breached
  • The Audit Committee will seek assurance at least once a year from the Group auditor on its policy and safeguards to maintain independence and objectivity

Internal Audit

The Head of Audit reports directly to the Committee and administratively to the CFO, with a remit to provide independent and objective assurance on the Group's prioritised risks, internal control systems and governance processes. The Internal Audit function supports the Group's continuous efforts to improve its overall control framework. It plays an integral role in the governance structure and provides regular reports to the Committee on the effectiveness of governance, systems, processes and controls across the Group. Its activity is primarily driven by an agreed risk-based programme that reflects the key risks the Group faces, the governance frameworks, organisational structures and operations. Following approval by the Committee, the programme remains under review and subject to change throughout the year to ensure any changes to the risk profile or key drivers are appropriately considered. The Committee reviews and approves all changes to the programme and receives updates at each meeting on the outcome of the work performed.

Reports to the Committee and discussions cover any significant matters arising from the internal audit programme and management's response to significant audit findings and notable

Audit Committee report continued

control weaknesses, including planned improvements and agreed actions. The Committee also regularly holds private sessions separately with the Head of Audit without members of management present. The Head of Audit has direct access to the Committee Chair and meets with the Group's external auditor whenever required.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

The 2023 risk-based audit programme and additional assurance activities were reviewed and approved in November 2022. The Group's internal audit programme for 2022, approved by the Committee in November 2021, was further developed during the year. These developments considered the Group's principal risks, identifying where they primarily occur in the business; through discussions with the Committee and senior management; recognising changes in the Group and the external environment; and with consideration to prior audit coverage. Furthermore, the Committee also approved the Internal Audit Charter which defines the accountabilities for conducting risk-based audit activities, ensuring transparency and a clear line of separation to preserve the independence of Internal Audit from the business.

One of the Committee's key roles is to challenge this audit programme, and specifically to determine whether the key risk areas identified as part of the risk management processes are being audited with appropriate frequency and depth. Following the completion of each planned audit, Internal Audit seeks feedback from management and reports to the Committee on the findings of the audit, detailing progress, and including any key findings or actions that may be required. Where any significant areas of concern are identified during an audit, an implementation plan is agreed with management for any required corrective actions to be addressed on a timely basis, with follow-up audits arranged. Action closures are reported to, and monitored by, the Committee.

The Committee keeps the Board informed of its activities and recommendations, with the Audit Committee Chair providing an update to the Board after every meeting. The Committee discusses with the Board where it is not satisfied with or believes that action or improvement is required concerning any aspect of financial reporting, risk management and internal control, compliance or audit-related activities.

During 2022, 13 internal audit assignments were carried out, the results of which were included in Internal Audit's annual assessment of the audited elements of the system of internal controls.

To assist Group Compliance, Internal Audit continued to support in the triaging of allegations raised from the confidential Speak Up line, providing support to the relevant investigations based on specific requests from Group Compliance.

Risk management

The Board has overall responsibility for establishing and setting the Group's risk appetite, its enterprise risk arrangements and for ensuring that the Group has in place an effective risk management framework. In accordance with guidance set by the FRC, the Board has delegated responsibility for monitoring and reviewing the integrity and effectiveness of the Group's overall systems of risk management and internal controls to the Committee.

The Board has established an organisational structure with clear operating procedures and defined delegated authorities, which forms the framework for determining risk and risk appetite. Regular reporting supports and develops the continuing robust assessments of the principal and emerging risks facing the Group, including their impacts on the enterprise and its future sustainability.

The Group's principal risk report captures and assesses the principal and emerging risks facing the Group, outlines how these risks are managed, and monitors exposures against our risk appetite. This document is updated quarterly and is considered at both Committee and Board level throughout the year.

The Committee receives regular updates on risk management from the Group Risk and Audit teams. Additional reports are also submitted by the external auditor to assist the Committee, and ultimately the Board, in their annual assessment of the effectiveness of the Group's risk management and system of internal controls. In reviewing each of the submitted reports, the Committee considers how effectively risks have been identified; how they have been mitigated and managed; whether actions are being taken promptly to remedy any failings or weaknesses; and whether the causes of any failings or weaknesses have indicated poor decision-making, a need for more extensive monitoring, or a reassessment of process effectiveness.

These help to provide the Committee, and ultimately the Board, with a balanced assessment of the Group's principal risks and the effectiveness of the systems of internal controls. Based on this assessment, our risk management framework and processes operated as expected during the year to identify and assess possible responses to the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Group.

Throughout the year, the Group's principal risks have been regularly reviewed by management to provide assurance on the robustness, integrity and effectiveness of the systems in place, including those that could threaten its business model, operations, future performance, solvency and liquidity. Further details of the Group's risk management systems and controls, including an overview of the risk governance and management frameworks and key changes to the principal risks during 2022, are presented on pages 76 to 87.

Internal controls

Petrofac seeks to ensure that a sound system of internal controls, based on the Group's policies, standards and procedures, remains in place for all material associate and joint arrangement entities. In the event any failings or weaknesses are identified in the course of a review of internal control systems, management puts in place robust actions to address these on a timely basis, with action closures reported to and monitored by the Committee.

As with all companies, an internal control system can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against material financial misstatement or fraud, as it is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives. However, the Committee is content that the ongoing reviews have established that management places a strong focus on closing audit actions and ensuring timely completion.

Following identification of an internal control deficiency during the year, as detailed on pages 114 and 115, additional assurance activities were undertaken to ensure there were no other similar instances within the broader contract portfolio (see note 2.9). These assurance activities confirmed that there were no such occurrences.

  • Complete the audit tender planning process
  • Monitor and implement any audit reform recommendations

Audit Committee report continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Treasury

As part of its remit, the Committee supports the Board in monitoring performance against the Group's funding plan, as well as reviewing the Group's compliance with the Treasury Risk Management Policy, a copy of which is available at petrofac.com. During the year, the Committee continued to closely monitor the Group's funding and liquidity, particularly in light of the ongoing challenging market conditions facing the Group and the resulting effect on financing.

Assurance

At the year end, and as required by the UK Code, formal assurance is provided to the Board that effective governance, risk management and internal control processes are in place and remain relevant, to ensure that the Group will continue to be viable for at least the next three years. This assurance covers all material controls, including strategic, financial, operational and compliance controls. Further details on the overall control processes are set out on page 118.

Insurance programme

Petrofac utilises the insurance market, as a risk transfer mechanism, to cover the types of insurable risks normally associated with an energy services provider, operating in similar challenging territories across the world. The cover procured is structured under a Group-wide insurance programme, designed to avoid potential coverage gaps and duplication across the Group, whilst also ensuring that the Group benefits from economies of scale. The effectiveness of the various global insurance policies is continually challenged against business activities, to ensure that the insurance cover will respond to our ever-changing risk exposures. This stress-testing also provides additional certainty that our cover remains as wide as commonly available across the insurance market, whilst continuing to represent a cost-effective risk transfer solution, considering various factors, including policy limits, deductible levels and policy conditions.

Ahead of the 2023 group insurance renewal, a structured and targeted marketing exercise concerning the main Group policies was undertaken. After several years of a highly challenging insurance marketplace in which insurers have grappled with unprofitable loss ratios by applying blanket rate increases, in 2023 insurance markets appear to be settling down for many of the classes of cover. The Group's insurance programme was renewed in April 2023 and the overall premium represents a reduction of 13% when compared to 2022.

Fair, balanced and understandable

Each year, the Committee advises the Board on whether, in its opinion, the Annual report and accounts (Annual Report) when taken as a whole is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's position, performance, business model and strategy.

Throughout 2022, the Committee monitored the integrity of the Group's reporting process and financial management, considered the results of management's assessment of going concern and viability, reviewed in detail the work of the external auditor, and ensured it and any significant financial judgements and estimates made by management provide the information necessary for stakeholders to assess the Group's performance and position.

In reaching its conclusion, the Committee assessed the results of the processes undertaken by management to provide assurance that the Group's financial statements were fairly presented. The processes included a review of all material matters to ensure that the Annual Report correctly reflected the Company's performance during the reporting year. Material issues were fairly reflected, including the identification and rectification of deficiencies in internal controls and the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the projects' financial performance, to ensure it presented a consistent message throughout.

This process was led by an internal team, consisting of members of the Group Finance, Company Secretariat, Group Communications and Investor Relations teams, who each collaboratively prepare sections of the Annual Report. This team also performed procedures to provide assurance to the Committee that the Annual Report was balanced, complete and accurate. This ensured that there was a clear and integrated link between the three main sections of the Annual Report – the strategic report; the governance report; and the financial statements.

Each Committee Chair participated in the preparation of their individual committee report, with the Board and management afforded the opportunity to submit their comments during the preparation process. The Committee was then presented with a full and final draft of the Annual Report for comment.

The Committee concluded that following its review, it was content to present the 2022 Annual Report to the Board for final approval with an assurance that when taken as a whole, it was fair, balanced and understandable, representative of the year under review, and provided shareholders with the sufficient and appropriate information to enable them to assess the Group's position, performance, business model, and strategy.

The Board subsequently approved the Committee's recommendation that a fair, balanced and understandable statement reflecting this conclusion could be provided. This statement is set out on page 152. The Group's external auditor's report can be found on pages 154 to 165.

This Annual Report includes the Company's standalone financial statements on pages 241 to 262. In order to simplify the Annual Report and help provide readers with a more succinct document, for the year ended 31 December 2023 and beyond, these Company standalone financial statements will not be presented within the Group's Annual Report.

Significant judgements

The Committee assesses these significant judgements to determine if they are reasonable and appropriate. The Committee has reviewed the following significant issues throughout the year, on which it has challenged and required management to exercise the highest level of judgement or estimation.

FOCUS AREA WHY THIS AREA IS SIGNIFICANT ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE CONCLUSION MORE INFORMATION
Revenue and margin
recognition on fixed
price EPC contracts
Due to the complexity and scale of
many of the Group's contracts, revenue
recognition continues to be an area of
focus. The quantification and timing of
revenue and profit recognition from fixed
priced EPC contracts is a material driver
of the Group's financial performance and
position, which is subject to significant
management judgement and estimation.
There is an inherent risk of bias or error
in judgements and estimates concerning,
for instance: variable consideration e.g.
variation orders, liquidated damages;
contract contingencies; and estimates to
complete cost forecasts.
The Committee reviewed and challenged the
reasonableness of evidence to support judgements
and estimates regarding revenue and profit recognition,
including non-recognition in certain instances, through
regular discussions with executive management. This
included a review of the additional assurance measures
undertaken in response to the identified control
deficiencies and prior year adjustment.
The Committee focused on variable consideration;
contract contingencies; and estimates to complete
cost forecasts, particularly in light of the ongoing
deterioration in market conditions caused by the lasting
impact of the pandemic, the change in cost forecasts
on the Thai Oil Clean Fuels joint venture contract, the
mature contract portfolio, and the low order intake. The
Group's external auditor also challenged management
on the key drivers of revenue and profit recognition on
fixed-price EPC contracts and reported their findings to
the Committee.
The Committee concluded after thorough deliberation
that the quantification and timing of revenue and profit
recognition on fixed-price EPC contracts, as well as
associated reporting, was in accordance with the relevant
International Financial Reporting Standards and the
Group's accounting policies.

Several key judgements on conditions
of significant uncertainty were required
in relation to determining whether
recognition or disclosure of this matter
was required. This included, but was not
limited to, assessing the applicability
of tax legislation cited by HMRC to
the facts of the enquiry; assessing any
developments in the enquiry during the
year; and critically evaluating advice from
independent legal and tax specialists.
The Committee evaluated management's assessment
of developments during 2022 in conjunction with the
ongoing tribunal process. In particular, the Committee
focused on ensuring that management had critically
appraised advice provided by independent legal and
tax specialists as well as ensuring that there was an
awareness and prevention of inherent bias implicit in
management's position.
The Committee concluded, after reviewing and challenging
management, that it remained appropriate for this matter
to continue to be disclosed as a contingent liability note in
the consolidated financial statements.

FOCUS AREA WHY THIS AREA IS SIGNIFICANT ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE CONCLUSION MORE INFORMATION
Going concern
and viability
Management and the Board are
required to assess whether the financial
statements should be prepared on a
going concern basis.
The Committee spent considerable time throughout
the year discussing going concern and viability. At
the end of the year a robust assessment of the going
concern assessment period to 31 December 2024
(the Assessment Period) and the subsequent viability
period was performed. This included reviewing and
challenging the Group's forecast cash flows, liquidity
and borrowing requirements after assessing the
assumptions in respect of new order intake over the
assessment period; evaluating downside scenarios
based on the Group's principal risks and uncertainties;
and appraising the mitigation strategies available to
management.
The Committee considered the appropriateness of the
going concern assessment and related judgements
regarding material uncertainty, reviewing the downside
scenarios and the potential mitigations as disclosed
in note 2.5 of the consolidated financial statements
and concluded that the going concern and viability
disclosures were fair, balanced and understandable.
The Committee reviewed the Group's going concern
assessment based on forecast cash flows, liquidity
headroom and covenant compliance over the Assessment
Period. These forecasts were based on the Board
approved business plan and modelled a range of severe
but plausible downside scenarios to reflect uncertainties
inherent in forecasting future operational and financial
performance, the committed facilities available, and
the mitigations within direct control of the Group. The
Committee also considered the risks identified and
appraised the severity and plausibility of these in setting
the downside sensitivities.
The Committee recognised that the Group's liquidity
position in the mitigated severe but plausible downside
scenario is reliant on a small number of collections from
clients and as these collections are not entirely within the
direct control of the Group, they may give rise to a material
uncertainty. The Committee reviewed the disclosures
presented in note 2.5 of the consolidated financial
statements together with the viability statement, on pages
94 to 96 to ensure that sufficient detail was provided to
explain the basis of preparation of the financial statements
and the Board's conclusion. The Committee concluded,
after rigorously evaluating relevant, available information,
that they remain confident in the prospects of the Group
to maintain compliance with its financial covenants and
sufficient liquidity even in a severe but plausible downside
scenario and that the continued use of the going concern
basis of preparing the Group's financial statements
remained appropriate. The Committee also positively
Notes 2.5 and 2.7
to the consolidated
financial statements
concluded on the viability of the business.
Taxation The global nature of the Group's
operations and the increasingly complex
nature of local tax rules increases
the risk of an income tax expense
misstatement. Management is required to
make several judgements and estimates
around: uncertain tax treatments given
the commercial structure of individual
contracts; and the valuation and
recoverability of any deferred tax assets.
The Group's tax judgements and estimates were
reviewed by the Committee to ensure that the
recognition of income tax expense, uncertain tax
treatments, and any deferred tax assets were based
on reasonable and appropriate assumptions. Reports
outlining principal tax matters were reviewed and
discussed with management and the Group's external
auditor, which also reported to the Committee on its
procedures and findings in relation to the Group's
tax affairs.
The Committee was satisfied that taxation-related
judgements and estimates were reasonable and
appropriate and that the Group's tax affairs were being
managed, accounted and reported in accordance with
the relevant legislation, International Financial Reporting
Standards and the Group's accounting policies.

Dear shareholder

I am pleased to introduce my first Committee report following my appointment as Chair of the Committee from May 2022.

George Pierson and Andrea Abt both stepped down from the Board at the 2022 AGM, having each served for six years. As founder members of this Committee, I take this opportunity to thank them both for their significant contribution in helping to embed our compliance and ethics programme throughout the organisation.

David Davies and I succeeded them, joining Matthias Bichsel as Committee members to oversee the compliance improvements being embedded throughout the Group, to continue to provide challenge, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the Group's compliance activities.

To assist the Committee in its deliberations, the Company Chair, other Board members, the Group General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, the Head of Investigations, and the Head of Audit are invited to attend all Committee meetings. In addition, external advisors may attend all or part of any meeting, when considered appropriate or necessary. Regular updates from the Group Compliance function were also received, with direct engagement with management taking place throughout the year.

The Committee is aware of the continuing need to ensure that compliance processes are continuously developed and are proportionate to the identified risks. This ongoing and improved monitoring provides enhanced insight and greater assurance into the effectiveness of the compliance programme. The Committee acknowledges the improvements achieved to automate compliance processes and to close out actions quicker, although we accept that work must continue to drive the compliance agenda forward.

As disclosed in the Audit Committee report, the Group's Internal Audit function identified an issue in the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract, which represented a deficiency in internal controls.

Compliance and Ethics Committee report continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Whilst the Audit Committee has the delegated responsibility of monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of the Group's overall internal control systems, this Committee plays an important role, and received interim findings from the Group Investigations Team on the adequacy of controls in place in this complex contract. This matter began initially as an audit of the cost reporting process of the E&C business, which was passed to the Group Investigations Team for further inquiry. Details of the error identified, the outcome of the investigation, and the review of the Group's internal controls, are set out on page 114 and 115.

In early 2021, a gap analysis on the compliance programme was undertaken in consultation with Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, LLP (FSS), the external advisors that began working with the Group in 2019. The identified actions were closely monitored and reviewed quarterly, with the aim of providing certainty to the Committee that the Group had a well-functioning compliance programme in place to meet external expectations. The programme maturity was identified by FSS as making good progress.

This gap analysis exercise was revisited at the end of 2022, to consider potential areas which may require further attention. Each analysis considered the control elements of different phases of the compliance programme, evaluating the current and desired state for each item. Where gaps were identified, the analysis set out defined actions, assigned priorities, owners, time horizons, and the desired end-state of each item, to ensure gaps could be narrowed or, ideally, closed.

To this end, a communications initiative to educate the business about the different compliance processes, and the value brought by each in addressing the risks that the Company and employees might face should the process not be followed thoroughly, was rolled out during the year.

A benchmarking exercise was also conducted during the year to ensure the Company was operating in line with peers in managing compliance risk. Overall, the data showed that the Company's compliance programme was, in most areas, compliant with best practice and operating in line with peers. One area requiring further enhancement was training and accordingly, customised training for high-risk employees was introduced, with systems implemented to address any training failures.

During 2022, FSS also conducted effectiveness testing on the due diligence programme and investigations procedures to ensure both programmes were operating as intended and fully aligned with their respective mandates.

FSS determined that the investigation programme was well designed and well-functioning, with strong management support. The 'triage' committee, which considers all high-risk investigations into alleged breaches of the Company's Code of Conduct, and which verifies the severity level assigned and decides on the most appropriate course of action, was thought to be working well. Following receipt of any Speak Up reports, investigation plans were properly scoped and planned, resulting in effective and efficient investigations and fair, accurate and timely reporting. Progress reports on all cases were provided to the Committee, with full granularity of each high-risk case considered in detail and remediation plans monitored.

The external due diligence platform, provided by Dow Jones, was also refined further to enhance the Company's approach and increase the emphasis on compliance evaluation and ongoing monitoring of all third parties. During 2022, an Internal Audit review on the operating effectiveness of the compliance due diligence was undertaken. Enhancement opportunities were identified, and these were implemented during the year to close out backlog issues and to enable further enhancements to the process to be undertaken.

A compliance culture review, last completed in 2019, was also undertaken, with the aim of assessing both the 'tone from the top' as well as the 'tone from the middle', with outputs compared with the original exercise. The Committee was encouraged by the progress made. In light of the continued improvements, Group Compliance intends to ascertain whether ISO-37001 certification can be obtained. This standard sets out the requirements for the establishment, implementation, operation, maintenance, and continual improvement of an anti-bribery management system and provides guidance on the actions and approaches that can be taken by companies to adhere to the requirements. ISO-37001 is intended to improve a company's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to bribery and comply with anti-bribery laws and commitments.

Although continued improvements were seen throughout the year, the Committee recognised that resourcing remained a critical challenge for the Group Compliance function, mainly due to challenging market conditions and a much tighter labour market across the industry. A new Trade Compliance Manager was appointed towards the end of the year, along with a new Compliance Manager, who was appointed to provide support to the contracts review process. Further appointments to the Investigations team will be made during 2023, to enhance the skill set within the team, while internal resources will be made available to assist the Due Diligence team.

In light of the ongoing political situation, the Group Compliance team extensively monitored the rapidly evolving sanctions regime against Russia throughout the year, providing updates to the Committee at each meeting. This involved the arrangements related to the safe completion and handover of our Sakhalin Energy project. The Committee has noted that since the year-end, Petrofac has divested its control of and economic interest in the Sakhalin Technical Training Centre, such that there are no ongoing operations in Russia.

As required by the Committee's terms of reference, minutes of the meetings held by the Third Party Risk Committee (TPRC) were reviewed during the year. A total of 80 new third parties within the TPRC's remit, including logistics and tax, legal and visa services, were engaged by the Group during 2022.

Looking forward, the Committee recognises the need to continue to reinforce the compliance message, and ensure all employees acknowledge that how we do business is just as important as what we do.

I am satisfied with the progress achieved and know that the continued implementation of good principles and behaviours will further embed the highest ethical standards throughout the organisation. The Committee will work with the new Group Chief Executive to make sure that the Company continues to progress and further strengthen our compliance programme.

Dear shareholder

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Directors' remuneration report for the year ended 31 December 2022. As a Jersey-incorporated company, Petrofac is not subject to the remuneration reporting regulations that apply to UK– incorporated companies. Nevertheless, the Committee recognises the importance of effective corporate governance, and we will therefore continue to operate in line with the UK remuneration reporting regulations. Accordingly, we will be asking shareholders at our 2023 AGM, to vote on the following two advisory remuneration resolutions:

  • Our Remuneration Policy (Policy), which outlines the remuneration framework that will apply to our Executive Directors, Non-executive Directors and the Chair of the Board

  • Our Annual Report on Remuneration, which summarises the remuneration outcomes for 2022 and explains how we intend to apply the Policy during 2023 and beyond

2022 Group performance

The Group has faced a very difficult year with the 2022 results disappointing, as a result of adverse commercial settlements and further cost overruns on our legacy E&C portfolio. This was offset by strong performance in both Asset Solutions and IES, with several important contract extensions and breakthrough activity in decommissioning. The Group reported lower revenue of US\$2,591 million and a full-year business performance net loss of US\$284 million. Despite these challenges, we continued to deliver on our projects and services, whilst doing everything within our control to protect the health and wellbeing of our people.

We have made progress on our strategy, and work is ongoing to rebalance, reshape and rebuild Petrofac. During 2022 the Group Executive Committee continued the drive to deliver and enhance business performance and in this regard, it is particularly encouraging to note the move into new geographies and the successes in new energies, enabling us to further diversify our portfolio of projects and services.

Directors' remuneration report continued

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Against this backdrop, the Committee remains determined to provide a package of pay and benefits that attracts, retains and incentivises our management and staff to grow and transform Petrofac, while also ensuring that all stakeholders, including investors and clients, benefit from a successful delivery.

The remuneration outcomes for 2022

Notwithstanding the challenging market and business environment, the Group made steady progress against key strategic objectives during the year that are critical to growth and our delivery of sustainable future profits, which allowed for a moderate total Company bonus pool of US\$11 million (2021: US\$19 million). I am pleased to report that 2022 was a fatalityfree year for the Group and consequently, the Committee did not need to exercise downward discretion to the bonus award in this regard. Our bonus deferral scheme ensures that Executive Directors remain focused on continued successful realisation of value from these objectives to benefit all stakeholders in the longer term.

The Performance Share Plan (PSP) awarded in 2020 vested at 6% of the maximum. This is based on the successful performance of one key strategic measure (cost challenge) over the period 2020-2022; the performance of all other elements, including the TSR measure, was lower than threshold and therefore did not result in any vesting. Further details are set out on page 140. The Committee considered that this 6% vesting for our long-term incentive plan was commensurate with Petrofac's financial results over that period and was satisfied that no discretionary adjustment was necessary.

Restatement of 2021 financial results

Following the financial restatement in relation to the 2021 financial year, and in line with our Remuneration policy, the bonuses awarded to the Executive Directors for that year have been recalculated to reflect the restated figures, specifically the lower Group Net Profit outcome. This results in a reduction of £106,621 for the former Group Chief Executive and £19,189 for the Chief Financial Officer, which will be claimed back. Further details can be found on page 138.

Executive Director changes

It was announced in November 2022 that Sami Iskander would step down from the Board at the end of March 2023. On his departure, Mr Iskander received the balance of his 12 months' notice pay. The details of Mr Iskander's remuneration can be found on page 149. He will remain subject to the postemployment shareholding guidelines and will retain all vested shares for a period of two years following his departure.

Tareq Kawash was appointed Group Chief Executive with effect from 1 April 2023 on similar terms to Mr Iskander. Details of Mr Kawash's package can be found on page 148.

Our Chief Financial Officer will receive a 5% increase in salary effective April 2023. This is less than the average increase of Petrofac's UK salaries of 6.8%. He will receive a bonus of £200,000 (25% of maximum) and a PSP award at 200% of salary (capped at three times face value at award date). Details of his remuneration can be found on pages 148 and 149.

Remuneration policy

In accordance with best practice, the Company's remuneration policy will be submitted to shareholders at the 2023 AGM. No significant changes are being proposed to the policy that was previously approved by shareholders at the AGM held in 2020. Details of the Remuneration policy can be found on pages 129 to 137.

Changes to be made in 2023

There are no proposed changes to the annual bonus framework in 2023 and the PSP framework will continue to be delivered via a mechanism based on 50% TSR performance and 50% on performance against strategic objectives. Further details can be found on pages 149 and 150.

Pay outcomes for the Chair and Non-executive Directors

The Chair and Non-executive Director fees have not been increased since 2018 and we propose keeping these under review during 2023 to consider the complexity and time commitments required of our Directors in supporting the business and the necessary turnaround activities. It is critical to ensure that our fees enable us to attract and retain directors of sufficient calibre to lead the Group through the challenging years ahead.

Conclusion

Over the last few years, the Committee has had to respond quickly and decisively to the challenges faced. We have had to make some difficult decisions, but at all times, we have sought to act in the best interests of Petrofac and all our stakeholders.

I hope you find the report clear and informative, and that the Committee has your support for the Remuneration Policy and Annual Report on Remuneration at the forthcoming AGM.

Policy report

Looking forward

The following section sets out our Directors' Remuneration Policy (the 'Policy'). This Policy will be submitted as an advisory vote to shareholders at the 2023 AGM and will apply to payments made on or after June 2023.

As a Jersey-incorporated company, Petrofac does not have the benefit of the statutory protections afforded by the UK Companies Act 2006 in relation to the remuneration reporting regime. Accordingly, if there is any inconsistency between the Company's Policy (as approved by shareholders) and any contractual entitlement or other right of a Director, the Company may be obliged to honour that contractual entitlement or right. Formal legal advice affirms that it would be impractical for us to submit our new Policy for a binding shareholder vote in the manner of a UK-incorporated company. Hence our decision, once again, to submit the Policy to an advisory vote at the 2023 AGM. In considering the Remuneration Policy, the Committee followed a robust process, which included discussions on the content of the Policy with consideration and input from management and our independent advisors. The Committee also sought the views of the Company's major shareholders.

Changes to the Policy

There are no significant changes between the Policy presented for approval here and that approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM.

Salary
Core element of
remuneration, used to

Executive Directors of
the calibre required to
develop and deliver our
business strategy
The Committee takes into account a number of factors when setting salaries,
including (but not limited to):

Size and scope of the individual's responsibilities

The individual's skills, experience and performance

Typical salary levels for comparable roles within appropriate pay comparators

Pay and conditions elsewhere in the Group
Basic salaries are normally reviewed at the beginning of each year, with any
change usually being effective from 1 April.
Whilst there is no maximum salary level, any increases will typically not exceed
the range of increases awarded to our wider employee population within the
relevant geographic area.
Higher increases may be made under certain circumstances, at the Committee's
discretion. For example, this may include:

Increase in the scope and/or responsibility of the individual's role on either a
permanent or temporary basis

Development of the individual within the role
In addition, where an Executive Director has been appointed to the Board at a
lower than typical salary, larger increases may be awarded to move them closer
to market practice as their experience develops.
None
Cash allowance in
lieu of pension and
other benefits
Provide employees
with an allowance
for benefits and
retirement planning
Executive Directors will receive a cash allowance in lieu of pension contributions
and will normally receive an additional cash allowance in respect of car
allowance and other benefits.
While there is no maximum level of cash allowance, its value will normally be
aligned with the employer's pension contribution for our wider workforce in the
relevant region.
In determining whether the level of cash allowance remains appropriate, the
Committee will typically have regard to the rate of increase in the cost of living in
the local market and other appropriate indicators.

Non-UK-based Executive Directors receive similar benefits to UK-resident

Where Executive Directors are required to relocate, the Committee may offer
additional expatriate benefits, if considered appropriate.
Where Executive Directors participate in all-employee share plans, their
maximum opportunity will be as prescribed in the plan at that time.
Expenses incurred in the performance of duties for the Company may be
reimbursed or paid for directly by the Company, as appropriate, including any
tax due on such payments.

UK workforce.
Any newly appointed Executive Director joining the Group pension arrangements
would receive a Company contribution rate in line with that for the wider
employee population within their local market.

Malus and clawback provisions

In specific circumstances, the Committee may:

• Require repayment of amounts received under the annual bonus at any time up to the second anniversary of the payment date

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

• Reduce or cancel unvested PSP awards or require repayment of amounts already paid out at any time up to the second anniversary of the vesting date

Circumstances in which malus and/or clawback may be considered include, for example:

  • Material misstatement of financial results
  • Material failure of risk management
  • Material breach of any relevant health and safety or environment regulations
  • Serious reputational damage to the Company (or any Group member)
  • Code of Conduct breach

Legacy matters

The Committee can make remuneration payments and payments for loss of office outside of the Policy set out above where the terms of the payment were agreed (i) before the Policy set out in this report came into effect, provided the terms of the payment were consistent with any applicable policy in force at the time they were agreed; or (ii) at a time when the relevant individual was not a Director of the Company (or other person to whom the Policy set out above applies) and that, in the opinion of the Committee, the payment was not in consideration for the individual becoming a Director of the Company (or such other person). This includes the exercise of any discretion available to the Committee in connection with such payments. For these purposes, payments include the Committee satisfying awards of variable remuneration and, in relation to an award over shares, the terms of the payment are agreed at the time the award is granted.

The Policy set out above applies equally to any individual who would be required to be treated as a director under the applicable regulations. The Committee can make remuneration payments and payments for loss of office outside of the Policy set out above if such payments are required by law in a relevant country.

Directors' remuneration report continued

Performance measures and targets

The performance measures used under the annual bonus and long-term incentives are intended to drive performance against key financial and non-financial business objectives, ultimately leading to value creation for shareholders. Targets are set to be appropriately stretching in the context of internal and external performance expectations.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Remuneration arrangements throughout the Group

The remuneration policy for our Executive Directors is designed in line with the remuneration philosophy and principles that underpin remuneration for the wider Group.

The objective of the remuneration policy is to provide a compensation package that reflects the size, complexity and scope of the Company's business, promotes long-term success and supports our strategic objectives. It does this through a balance of fixed and variable pay, with the intent of creating a competitive total remuneration package that attracts and retains executives while creating an appropriate alignment between incentivising executive performance and the interests of shareholders.

To this end, base salaries are generally referenced against the median of a relevant benchmarking group. Variable elements, both short and long-term, are structured so that individuals can achieve upper quartile total remuneration, subject to achievement of challenging performance targets that are transparent, stretching and rigorously applied.

All our reward arrangements are built around the common objectives and principles outlined below:

  • Performance driven the Company intentionally places significant focus on variable remuneration, ensuring that a meaningful proportion of remuneration is based on performance. Performance targets are typically aligned with those of the Executive Directors. As a result, individuals are incentivised towards consistent financial and non-financial business goals and objectives, in addition to appropriate individual goals.
  • Employees as shareholders a substantial number of employees participate in our various share incentive plans. As a result of this participation, as well as those shares owned and purchased by employees prior to and since IPO, Petrofac is proud of the significant levels of employee share ownership within the Company. We consider that this is one of the key drivers of performance throughout the business.

UK Corporate Governance Code

The Committee has been mindful of the UK Corporate Governance Code's six principles in determining remuneration policy. The Committee's view is that the framework is well-aligned with these areas:

  • Clarity and simplicity our remuneration framework has been established to support both the financial and strategic priorities of the Company, aligning with shareholder interests. The changes made to the pension allowance and long-term incentives, to align to the wider workforce and focus on key strategic objectives, were designed to improve both simplicity and transparency. We have a simple pay structure, comprised of fixed pay elements, short-term and long-term variable pay. These elements provide a clear line of sight for both executives and shareholders with the variable pay elements providing stretching targets to drive the success of the business.
  • Risk our reward structure is aligned to the risk management structure, with all executive variable pay awarded on a discretionary basis and subject to malus and clawback provisions. Our corporate governance structure provides for a joined-up view between emerging and crystallised risks and remuneration outcomes.
  • Predictability the Policy sets out the maximum opportunity for each component of executive remuneration to provide transparency around overall opportunities.
  • Proportionality there is alignment between the performance of the Company and the rewards available to Executive Directors. All executive performance measures are disclosed where awards are made, providing the link between the performance achieved and the shareholder value created. This transparency, alongside the independent approach taken on executive remuneration decisions, supports proportionate remuneration decisions, set against Company and individual performance.
  • Alignment to culture the balance of financial and non-financial measures for both short-term and long-term incentives is designed to support the values and behaviours for long-term sustainable growth.

Consideration of shareholder views

The Company places significant emphasis on our strong relationship with shareholders, and recognises the importance of clear and full consultation on all aspects of remuneration and governance. In reviewing our approach to directors' remuneration reporting this year and our forward-looking remuneration policy, we maintained a dialogue with our major shareholders and took their views into account. The Committee continues to monitor shareholder views when evaluating and setting the remuneration strategy, and we commit to consulting with major shareholders prior to any significant changes to our remuneration policy.

Recruitment policy

In determining remuneration arrangements for new Executive Directors, the overall structure of the package would normally be aligned with that set out in the policy table above:

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

  • Salary positioning would reflect the skills and experience of the individual and may be set at a level to allow future progression to reflect performance in the role
  • The Committee may provide additional benefits to expatriate appointments, as and where appropriate
  • Maximum variable pay (excluding buy-outs) will be in line with the usual aggregate maximum set out in the policy table of 500% of salary
  • Subject to the 500% limit, the Committee retains the discretion in the first year following appointment to flex the balance between annual and long-term incentive and the measures used to assess performance for these elements

The Committee may award compensation for the forfeiture of remuneration arrangements from a previous employer. In doing so, the Committee would aim to structure any replacement awards in a like-for-like manner to the extent possible, taking into account relevant factors, including:

  • The form of the forfeited awards (e.g. cash or shares)
  • Any performance conditions attached to them and the likelihood of these conditions being satisfied
  • The proportion of the vesting and/or performance period remaining

The Committee will continue to have regard to the best interests of both Petrofac and its shareholders and is conscious of the need to pay no more than is necessary, particularly when determining buy-out arrangements.

In making buy-out awards to new appointments, the Committee may grant awards under the relevant provision in the FCA Listing Rules, which allows for the granting of awards specifically to facilitate, in unusual circumstances, the recruitment of an Executive Director, without seeking prior shareholder approval. In doing so, it will comply with the provisions in force at the date of this report.

The overall approach outlined above would also apply to internal appointments, with the proviso that any commitments entered into before promotion that are inconsistent with the Policy will continue to be honoured. In the event of the appointment of a new Non-executive Director, remuneration arrangements will normally be in line with those detailed in the table on page 133.

Executive Director service contracts

The key employment terms and other conditions of the current Executive Directors, as stipulated in their service contracts are set out below:

PROVISION POLICY
Notice period 12 months' notice by either the Company or the Executive Director (no fixed expiry
date).
Termination The Company may terminate employment by making a payment in lieu of notice
equivalent to the value of base salary and benefits in respect of the notice period.
The Company would normally expect Executive Directors to mitigate any loss
upon their departure.

The Non-executive Directors, including the Chair of the Company, have letters of appointment which set out their duties and responsibilities. They do not have service contracts. The key terms of the appointments are set out in the table below:

PROVISION POLICY

Period Three months' notice by either the Company or the Non-executive Director.
Termination Non-executive Directors and the Chair are not entitled to compensation on leaving
the Board. If a Non-executive Director or the Chair is requested to resign, they are

Policy on payment for loss of office

The Committee takes a number of factors into account when determining leaving arrangements for an Executive Director, including the nature and circumstances of the intended departure:

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

  • The Committee must satisfy any contractual obligations agreed with the Executive Director. As a non-UK-incorporated company, without the benefit of the statutory protections afforded by the UK Companies Act 2006, the Company would be obliged to honour any contractual entitlement or other right of an Executive Director, even if it were inconsistent with the Policy
  • Individuals may be eligible to receive an annual bonus on a time pro-rated basis, subject to business and individual performance in the same manner as for continuing Executive Directors and paid at the usual time
  • Other payments such as legal fees and outplacement fees may be paid if it is considered appropriate

The treatment of outstanding share awards is governed by the relevant share plan rules. The following tables provide a summary of the leaver provisions of each of our existing share plans:

  • 3 Unless determined otherwise by the Committee.
  • 4 The Committee has the flexibility to determine that awards can vest upon cessation of employment.
  • 5 Awards are generally not subject to performance conditions and will vest on cessation of employment, subject to the terms of the RSP.
  • 6 Other than the SIP, individuals leaving as 'bad leavers' will be deemed to cease employment when notice is given, unless the Committee determines to deem cessation to be on a later date, no later than the end of the relevant notice period.

Holding periods and other events

If an Executive Director leaves the Company holding vested PSP awards which are still subject to a mandatory holding period, the holding period will continue to apply, unless determined otherwise by the Committee.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

On a change of control or winding up of the Company, PSP awards will vest on a time pro-rated basis, and where applicable be subject to the achievement of the relevant performance conditions, unless the Committee determines that the circumstances are sufficiently exceptional to justify a higher level of vesting.

Illustration of the Remuneration Policy

Petrofac's remuneration arrangements have been designed to ensure that a significant proportion of pay is dependent on the delivery of stretching short and long-term performance targets, that are aligned with the creation of sustainable shareholder value. The Committee considers the level of remuneration that may be received under different performance outcomes to ensure that this is appropriate in the context of the performance delivered and the value added for shareholders.

The chart below provides illustrative values of the remuneration package in 2023 for Executive Directors under four assumed performance scenarios:

ASSUMED PERFORMANCE ASSUMPTIONS USED
Fixed pay All performance scenarios
Consists of total fixed pay, including base salary
and cash allowance (as at 1 January 2023) and

These charts provide illustrative values of the remuneration package in 2023. PSP awards have been shown at face value with no discount rate assumptions. Amounts have been translated to US dollars based on the average exchange rate for 2022 of £1 : US\$1.243135. Actual outcomes may differ from those shown:

Group Chief Executive – Tareq Kawash1 Chief Financial Officer – Afonso Reis e Sousa

Base Pay Bonus Performance PSP Performance Total Maximum Pay

1 Annual salary £675,000 from start date of 16 March 2023. Variable pay reflective of 200% under the regular policy opportunity. However, in accordance with policy, Tareq Kawash was awarded an exceptional 300% of salary on appointment.

Consideration of conditions elsewhere in the Company

When determining remuneration arrangements for Executive Directors, the Committee considers as a matter of course, the pay and conditions of employees throughout the Group. In particular, the Committee pays specific attention to the general level of salary increases and the size of the annual bonus pool within the wider population, with particular reference to the year-on-year change in these figures.

While the Committee does not directly consult with our employees as part of the process of determining executive pay, the Committee does receive feedback from employee surveys and takes this into account when reviewing executive pay. In addition, a significant number of our employees are shareholders and so are able to express their views in the same way as other shareholders.

Members of the Committee are invited to meet with the Petrofac Workforce Forum at least twice per year. This is an elected forum constituted of 12 representatives from the global workforce which represents wider employee interests and raises issues to the Board for discussion and resolution. Questions raised can involve remuneration issues, some of which are then taken forward for debate at scheduled Committee meetings.

Minor amendments

The Committee may make minor amendments to the policy set out above (for regulatory, exchange control, tax or administrative purposes or to take account of a change in legislation) without obtaining shareholder approval for that amendment.

Notes to the table

1 The Executive Directors are paid in sterling. All amounts have been translated to US dollars based on the prevailing rate at the date of payment or award.

2 Afonso Reis e Sousa was appointed as a Director on 1 September 2021. The 2021 figures reflect the period from 1 September to 31 December 2021.

3 Following the financial restatement in relation to the 2021 financial year, and in line with our Remuneration policy, the bonuses awarded to the Executive Directors for 2021 have been recalculated. This resulted in a reduction of the total bonus in respect of 2021 in the amount of £106,621 for Mr Iskander and £19,189 for Mr Reis e Sousa. This reflects a reduction in the 2021 Group Net Profit outcome from US\$35 million to US\$3m, reducing the pay-out under this element from 43% of maximum to 0%.

Further notes to the table – methodology

a Salary and fees – the cash paid in respect of 2022.

  • b Benefits the taxable value of all benefits paid in respect of 2022, including private health insurance and appropriate life assurance. Sami Iskander received a car allowance during the period.
  • c Cash in lieu of pension and other benefits our Executive Directors receive a cash allowance in place of pension contributions. This reflects the application of the Company's remuneration policy. Directors do not receive specific pension contributions from the Company.
  • d Annual bonus. The value in respect of 2021 for Afonso Reis e Sousa has been pro-rated for time, based on the period from his appointment as an Executive Director.
  • e Long-term incentives 6% of the 2020 awards under the Performance Share Plan will vest on 27 April 2023. A value of US\$943.00 is due to vest for Afonso Reis e Sousa, pro-rated for time, based on the vesting period from his appointment as an Executive Director. This value represents an estimate of the market value of the shares that are due to vest, based on a three-month average share price of 98.05 pence (1 October to 31 December 2022). Of the value due to vest, £(1,516) of the figure is attributed to a share price depreciation of 195.85 pence per share, based on an actual award price of 293.9 pence. The 2021 value for Mr Reis e Sousa (relating to awards which vested in March 2022) has been revised from last year's report from US\$377 to US\$293, based on the actual share price of 114.50 pence at the date of vesting on 23 March 2022.
  • f Total fixed remuneration is the total of (a) base salary, (b) taxable benefits and (c) cash in lieu of pension and other benefits.
  • g Total variable remuneration is the total of (d) annual cash bonus and (e) long-term incentives, less the restatement adjustment amount.

Annual bonus

The financial elements of our annual bonus comprise 60% of the overall weighting, while the remainder of the annual bonus (40%) is subject to metrics typically covering strategic areas such as: health and safety, customer and service quality; growth; people; sustainability (ESG); energy transition; and strategic initiatives. The table below sets out the outcomes for the Executive Directors against our financial targets:

1 Measured as Group business performance earnings before interest and tax (see note A4 in Appendix A of the consolidated financial statements).

2 The Group free cash flow measure for the purposes of the annual bonus performance target is a management reporting metric calculated as free cash flow generated from operating activities and investing activities, less interest paid, repayment of finance lease principal and amounts received from non-controlling interests (see note A7 in Appendix A of the consolidated financial statements).

Group-level performance continued to be affected by continued delays in the award of new projects in the E&C division during the year, in addition to additional costs incurred on legacy contracts. This was partially mitigated by strong performance in both Asset Solutions and IES during 2022, and the continued reduction in Group overheads.

Overall though, this resulted in us missing our targets for Group EBIT, new order intake and Group free cash flow. We did however complete a number of projects in our legacy E&C portfolio, with E&C bidding continuing at record levels. We have continued the growth of the Asset Solutions portfolio and in the new energies sector, so that Petrofac is well placed to benefit from the investments to be made in offshore wind.

Sami Iskander

Sami Iskander joined Petrofac in November 2020, initially as Deputy CEO. He was appointed Group Chief Executive in January 2021. On 22 November 2022, the Company announced that Mr Iskander would be stepping down as Group Chief Executive and leaving the business with effect from 31 March 2023. In view of his performance throughout 2022 of progressing against strategic measures and his comprehensive and professional handover to his successor, the Committee felt that it was appropriate to award a bonus for the year. After due review and considering his performance in a year of exceptionally challenging circumstances, the Committee agreed to a performance rating of 4 on our 5-point scale. This has resulted in the bonus outcome as reported on page 138.

Afonso Reis e Sousa

Mr Reis e Sousa was appointed Chief Financial Officer and an Executive Director with effect from 1 September 2021. The Board has been very pleased with Mr Reis e Sousa's performance in his first full year as CFO. Mr Reis e Sousa has shown excellent relationship skills with our investors, banks and bondholders, having been instrumental in extending our existing debt facilities and successfully managing various financing issues. He has also demonstrated sound management of the development of various legacy IT issues and achieving readiness for the roll-out of our cloudbased ERP system across the Group. In view of this performance, the Committee agreed with the assessment of his personal performance as a 3.5 on our 5-point scale, which resulted in the bonus outcome as reported on page 138.

Loss of office

Mr Iskander had a 12-month notice period and, following the decision taken for him to step down from his role as Group Chief Executive and Executive Director, he worked his notice period from November 2022. The balance of this notice period was paid on his termination date of 31 March 2023. In addition, he received certain payments covering loss of benefits during the balance of his notice period. Details of these payments can be found on page 149.

Deferred Bonus Plan

As reported in the 2021 Annual report and accounts, any bonus is typically paid to Executive Directors half in cash and half in deferred shares under the Deferred Bonus Plan, vesting in equal tranches over one, two and three years from the date of award. Details of the actual number of shares granted are set out on page 144. The following table provides details of the awards made under the DBP during 2022:

Type of award Face value
Sami Iskander £293,533
Afonso Reis e Sousa1 Deferred Bonus shares £63,943

1 Afonso Reis e Sousa was appointed as a Director on 1 September 2021. The figures reflect the bonus payment made for the period from 1 September to 31 December 2021.

Awards were made to Sami Iskander and Afonso Reis e Sousa on 4 April 2022, along with other members of senior management, based on a share price of 104.50 pence. The face values shown in the table above have been calculated on this basis. This share price represents the three-day average share price up to the respective date of award.

Share plan interests awarded during the financial year Performance Share Plan

As detailed in our remuneration policy, PSP awards are granted over ordinary shares, representing an opportunity to receive Petrofac shares if performance conditions are met over the relevant three-year period. The number of shares under award is determined by reference to a percentage of base salary. Details of the actual number of shares granted are set out on page 144. The following table provides details of the awards made under the PSP. Performance for these awards is measured over the three financial years from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024.

Awards were made to Sami Iskander and Afonso Reis e Sousa on 4 April 2022, along with other members of senior management, based on a share price of 104.50 pence. The face values shown have been calculated on this basis. This share price represents the three-day average share price up to the respective date of award. While the Committee recognises that the share price had fallen over the preceding year, it was satisfied that the level of awards remained appropriate given that they remain subject to a cap, such that the maximum value that can be delivered in the year of vesting is limited to three times the face value of the award at the time of grant. This three times face value cap applied to all PSP awards made to the Company's Executive team in 2022.

Strategic element (50% of award):

The remaining 50% of the 2022 award is based on eight key strategic measures, four of which broadly cover business financial and operational performance and four which cover areas promoting sustainability. We believe these measures align our incentives with the delivery of critical long-term strategic goals. Each measure is subject to stretching targets over the three-year period. At this stage, the Committee considers the precise targets for 2022 to be commercially sensitive. However, we intend to provide detailed disclosure of targets and performance against those targets following the end of the performance period. The key strategic priorities and associated measures for the 2022 award are as follows: 1 Straight-line vesting operates between these points.

All figures are presented in US dollars. At 1 January 2022, the Non-executive Directors received a basic fee of £67,500 per annum, of which £5,000 per quarter was used to purchase Petrofac Limited shares. The basic Non-executive Director fee had been reduced by 10% from £75,000 to £67,500 from 1 April 2020, in line with the reduction received by the wider Petrofac workforce. Additional fees of £15,000 per annum are paid for acting as either the Chair of a Board Committee (excluding the Nominations Committee) or as the Senior Independent Director. The Chair received a fee of £288,000 per annum. This fee had been reduced by 10% from £320,000 per annum with effect from 1 April 2020, in line with the wider Petrofac workforce arrangement. A total of £20,000 per quarter of the Chair fee is used to purchase Petrofac Limited shares.

With effect from 1 April 2022, the fees for the Chair and the Non-executive Directors were reinstated to pre-2020 levels.

Accordingly, the 2021 fee represents the period from 12 October 2021 to 31 December 2021. The value of the 2019 PSP award, which vested on 23 March 2022, has been revised from last year's report from US\$22,305 to US\$17,353, based on the actual share price of 114.50 pence achieved on the date of vesting. The value of the 2020 PSP award, which will vest on 27 April 2023 is US\$9,351. This value represents an estimate of the market value of the shares that are due to vest, based on a three-month average share price of 98.05 pence (1 October to 31 December 2022).

3 Ayman Asfari ceased to be an Executive Director from 31 December 2020. He is, however, expected to retain 100% of the shareholder guideline (three-times salary) for the first year following departure, and 50% of the guideline for the second year following departure. He has substantially exceeded this requirement.

1 The award amounts disclosed under the PSP are the maximum number that may vest if all performance conditions attached to the awards are satisfied in full.

2 Following the end of the three-year performance period in respect of the March 2019 PSP award, the performance conditions were partially satisfied, with 6% of the maximum award vesting on 23 March 2022.

3 On 23 March 2022, a third of the 2019 Deferred Bonus Share Plan (DBSP) award and a third of the 2020 DBSP award vested. The share price on the date of vesting was 114.50 pence. Following his appointment to the Board on 1 September 2021, no further awards under the DBSP will be made to Afonso Reis e Sousa.

4 Shares awarded on 6 March 2020 partially satisfied the performance conditions and therefore 6% of the maximum award vested on 27 April 2023. Based on a share price of 63.85 pence, which is the closing share price on 26 April 2023 (being the latest practicable date prior to the adoption of this report by the Committee), the value of the award made to Afonso Reis e Sousa, pro-rated for time based on the vesting period from when he was appointed as an Executive Director, would be £494. The value of the award made to Ayman Asfari would be £4,899.

5 The shares awarded to Ayman Asfari have been pro-rated for time, based on his retirement date of 31 December 2020.

6 Awards were made during the year to the Executive Directors under the new Deferred Bonus Plan. This plan was approved by shareholders at the 2021 AGM.

This represents the end of the audited section of the report.

Historical TSR performance and Group Chief Executive remuneration outcomes

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

The chart below compares the TSR performance of the Company over the past 10 years with the TSR of the FTSE 250 Index. This index has been chosen because it is a recognised equity market index.

The table below the chart summarises the Group Chief Executive's single figure for total remuneration, annual bonus pay-outs and long-term incentive plan vesting levels as a percentage of maximum opportunity over this period.

  1. Following the financial restatement in relation to the 2021 financial year, and in line with our Remuneration policy, the decision was taken by the Committee to recalculate the 2021 bonus awarded to Mr Iskander. This resulted in a reduction of the total bonus of £106,621. The figure shown in the table above reflects this restated amount. Further details are set out on page 138.

Pay ratios of Group Chief Executive to UK employees

The table below illustrates the pay ratio of the Group Chief Executive to the 25th, median and 75th percentile of the total remuneration of the full-time equivalent UK employees.

Financial Year ended Method 25th percentile pay ratio (lower quartile) 50th percentile pay ratio (median) 75th percentile pay ratio (upper quartile)
31 December 2022 Option A 1:18 1:14 1:12
31 December 2021 Option A 1:21 1:17 1:16

The Group Chief Executive's total remuneration is calculated on the same basis as the single figure of remuneration table set out on page 138. The lower, median and upper quartile employee's remuneration was calculated on full-time equivalent data as at 31 December 2022. Option A was chosen as it is considered to be the most accurate way of identifying the best equivalents of 25th, 50th and 75th percentile figures and is aligned with best practice and investor expectations.

In reviewing the employee pay data, the Committee is satisfied that the individuals identified within each category appropriately reflect the employee pay profile at those quartiles, and that the overall picture presented by the ratios is consistent with our pay, reward and progression policies for UK employees.

The following table provides further information on the total pay figures used for each quartile employee and the salary component within this:

Financial Year ended Element of pay CEO remuneration 25th percentile pay ratio
(lower quartile)
50th percentile pay ratio
(median)
75th percentile pay ratio
(upper quartile)
31 December 2022 Salary £667,063 £52,026 £67,585 £80,274
Total remuneration £1,138,566 £62,620 £80,125 £91,522

Our Group Chief Executive pay ratio at the median has reduced slightly from 1:17 in 2021 to 1:14 in 2022. Our pay ratio is at the lower end of the range, which is reflective of the highly skilled and technically challenging nature of our roles across the UK, and also due to our long-term incentive plan payments being very low over the last ten years.

Base fees were increased by 10% with effect from 1 April 2022. There were no changes to the additional fees of £15,000 per annum, which are paid for acting as either the Chair of a Board Committee (excluding the Nominations Committee) or as the Senior Independent Director.

2 Base salary is paid in sterling but translated into US dollars based on the prevailing rate at the date of payment (as set out on page 138).

3 Sami Iskander was appointed as an Executive Director on 1 January 2021. Following the financial restatement in relation to the 2021 financial year, and in line with our Remuneration policy, the decision was taken by the Committee to recalculate the 2021 bonus awarded to Mr Iskander. This resulted in a reduction of the total bonus of £106,621. Further details are set out on page 138.

4 Afonso Reis e Sousa was appointed as an Executive Director on 1 September 2021.

5 Ayman Asfari retired from the role of Group Chief Executive on 31 December 2020. He became a Non-executive Director with effect from 1 January 2021 and agreed to receive no Board fees between 1 January and 11 October 2021.

6 Andrea Abt and George Pierson stepped down from the Board and ceased to be Non-executive Directors from 26 May 2022. The 2022 figures reflect the period from 1 January 2022 to this date.

7 Francesca Di Carlo received the fee for the position of Chair of the Compliance and Ethics Committee from 27 May 2022 until the end of the year.

Implementation of remuneration policy in 2023

This section provides an overview of how the Committee is proposing to implement our remuneration policy in 2023.

Base salary

The table below shows the base salaries for 2023 effective 1 April 2023:

2023 basic salary
from 1 April 2023
2023 basic salary
from 1 January 2023
2022 basic salary
to 31 December 2022
Tareq Kawash1 £675,000 n/a n/a
Afonso Reis e Sousa £420,000 £400,000 £400,000
  1. Tareq Kawash was appointed as Group Chief Executive on 1 April 2023. Sami Iskander stepped down from the Board with effect from 31 March 2023. His salary at that date was £672,750.

Benefits

The benefit framework will remain unchanged in 2023. However, it was agreed as part of his hiring package to continue the arrangements that Mr Kawash received from his prior employer regarding schooling. Accordingly, Mr Kawash will receive an amount of up to £40,000 per annum to pay for school fees until his child completes secondary education within the next three years.

Cash allowances

The table below shows cash allowances for 2023:

Cash allowances 2023 Cash allowances 2022
Pension Car Pension Car
Tareq Kawash1 6.2% of salary £20,000 n/a n/a
Afonso Reis e Sousa 6.2% of salary 6.2% of salary
  1. Tareq Kawash was appointed as Group Chief Executive on 1 April 2023. Sami Iskander stepped down from the Board with effect from 31 March 2023. His benefits at that date were 7% of salary for pension and a £20,000 car allowance.

Joining arrangements for Tareq Kawash

On leaving his previous employer, Mr Kawash forfeited a number of incentive awards and, in line with our recruitment policy, the Committee agreed to buy out these forfeited awards. In determining the level of the buyout, the Committee took into account relevant factors including any performance conditions attached to his forfeited awards, the likelihood of those conditions being met, and the proportion of the performance periods remaining. Mr Kawash was accordingly granted an award of £500,000 under the Deferred Bonus Plan. These shares are not subject to performance conditions and will vest, subject inter alia, to continued employment, over the next two years, 25% after six months, 25% after 12 months and the remaining 50% after 24 months from the date of award.

Loss of office for Sami Iskander

Following the decision taken for Mr Iskander to step down from his role as Group Chief Executive, he worked his notice period from November 2022. The balance of this notice period of £433,141 was paid to him on his termination date of 31 March 2023. In addition, he received additional payments covering loss of benefits during the balance of this notice period, specifically: health and life insurance of £20,000; car allowance of £12,877; and cash in lieu of pension contributions of £30,320. Mr Iskander will be treated as a good leaver in respect of his outstanding share awards but will receive no bonus or PSP award in respect of the 2023 financial year. The bonus amount paid in respect of the 2022 financial year is set out on page 138.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Chair and Non-executive Director remuneration

The table below sets out the fee structure payable to the Chair and Non-executive Directors from 1 April 2023:

2023 fees
Chair of the Board fee £320,000
Basic Non-executive Director fee £75,000
Board Committee Chair fee £15,000
Senior Independent Director fee £15,000

Annual bonus

The maximum annual bonus opportunity for Executive Directors will remain at 200% of base salary for 2023. The table below sets out the financial elements, which comprise 60% of the total annual bonus:

Financial measures Weighting in
total bonus
Group earnings before interest and tax1 20%
Group net order intake 20%
Group free cash flow 20%

1 Measured as Group business performance before separately disclosed items.

The remaining 40% of the annual bonus will comprise robust metrics, which will typically cover strategic areas such as: health and safety, customer and service quality, growth, people, sustainability (ESG), energy transition, and strategic initiatives. This will provide the Committee with the ability to consider not only financial achievements, but also the wider health of the Company and the manner and behaviours by which our performance has been delivered. The Committee will set stretching 2023 targets and will provide disclosure at the end of the performance year.

Any bonus will be paid to Executive Directors half in cash and half in deferred shares under the Deferred Bonus Plan, which will vest in equal tranches over one, two and three years from the date of award.

The annual bonus is subject to malus and clawback provisions as set out in more detail in our remuneration policy. The Committee also retains the option to apply an additional discretion as deemed appropriate, based on the performance of the Company or the relevant Director during the financial year under review.

Performance Share Plan

For 2023, in line with the Remuneration Policy, as set out on page 132, Mr Kawash will receive an award of 300% of base salary following his appointment to the Board and Mr Reis e Sousa will receive an award of 200% of base salary.

As for previous years, and recognising recent share price performance, the Committee has retained the cap of three times face value that can be delivered from the 2023 PSP award. Other than in exceptional circumstances (for which the Committee would provide justification), it is intended that the maximum value that can be delivered in the year of vesting will be limited to three times face value of the award at grant. This three times face value cap will also apply to PSP awards made to the Company's Executive team in 2023.

For 2023, the PSP framework will remain at 50% relative TSR and 50% strategic elements. Using a number of financial strategic measures, as well as those around ESG and our move into energy transition solutions, will demonstrate alignment with the long-term goals of the Company and its stakeholders.

1) TSR element (50% of award)

The tables below set out the TSR comparator group for the purposes of the 2023 awards and the vesting schedule used to determine the performance outcome. The TSR comparator group is unchanged from the prior year:

Directors' remuneration report continued

2) Strategic element (50% of award)

The remaining 50% of the 2023 PSP award will be subject to three-year strategic performance conditions. For the 2023 awards, the Committee will set stretching targets to key strategic priorities. These strategic priorities and the associated measures for the 2023 award will cover longerterm objectives such as: rebuilding our backlog and margin enhancement, cash management, improving the balance sheet, accelerating our delivery in new energy transition, enhanced efforts on sustainability, diversity, and safety. The precise measures and percentage weightings will be proposed by the new Group Chief Executive following consideration by the Group Executive Committee and submitted for approval by the Remuneration Committee no later than 1 August 2023. These measures will be shared in next year's Annual report and accounts.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

Under each strategic priority, vesting for threshold performance will be 25% of maximum with straightline vesting up to 100% of maximum. The Committee considers that the precise financial targets, when set, for the 2023 to 2025 period will be commercially sensitive. However, detailed disclosure of targets and performance against targets will be provided at the end of the performance period.

Any vested post-tax shares will be subject to an additional two-year holding period. In addition, where participants have not reached the shareholding guideline target, they will be required to continue to hold any shares after the holding period until the guideline is reached. PSP awards are subject to malus and clawback provisions as set out in more detail in our remuneration policy. The Committee also retains the option to apply an additional discretion as deemed appropriate, based on the performance of the Company or the relevant Director during the financial year under review.

Post-employment shareholding guideline

Executive Directors are required to maintain a shareholding of 100% of their shareholding guideline (or actual shareholding at the point of departure, if lower) for a period of 24 months following departure.

Awards granted under any Company long-term incentive plan, which have vested but are subject to a holding period, will count towards the guideline (on a net of tax basis). The Company has implemented a mechanism for Executive Directors by which to enforce the application of these postemployment guidelines. As part of this arrangement, a restriction will be placed on shares held that will prevent their sale or transfer without prior authorisation by the Company until the guideline has been satisfied.

External board appointments

Executive Directors are normally entitled to accept one non-executive appointment outside the Company with the consent of the Board. Any fees received may be retained by the Director. As at the date of this report, no Executive Director holds an externally paid non-executive appointment.

Consideration by the Directors of matters relating to Directors' remuneration

Support for the Committee

During the year, the Committee received independent advice on executive remuneration matters from Deloitte LLP (Deloitte), which was formally appointed as advisor by the Committee in October 2005. Deloitte is a member of the Remuneration Consultants Group and, as such, voluntarily operates under a code of conduct in relation to executive remuneration consulting in the UK.

The Committee has reviewed the advice provided by Deloitte during the year and is satisfied that it has been objective and independent. Total fees received by Deloitte in relation to the remuneration advice provided to the Committee during 2022 amounted to £52,650 based on the required time commitment. During 2022, Deloitte did not provide any other services to the Company.

The Secretary to the Board acts as Secretary to the Committee. During the year, the Group Chief Executive, Chief Financial Officer and the Group Director of Human Resources attended meetings on an ad hoc basis at the invitation of the Committee and provided information and support as requested. However, no individual was present when their own remuneration was being discussed.

Shareholder voting

The table below outlines the result of the advisory vote of the 2021 Directors' remuneration report received at the AGM held on 26 May 2022.

Further information is set out on page 107.

The table below outlines the result of the advisory vote of the 2019 Remuneration Policy received at the AGM held on 15 May 2020. The Remuneration Policy will again be subject to shareholder review at the upcoming AGM to be held on 23 June 2023.

Governance

The Board and the Committee consider that, throughout 2022 and up to the date of this report, the Company has complied with the provisions set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code relating to Directors' remuneration. In addition, relevant guidelines issued by prominent investor bodies and proxy voting agencies have been presented to and considered by the Committee during its discussions.

The Committee endeavours to consider executive remuneration matters in the context of alignment with risk management and, during the year, had oversight of any related factors to be taken into consideration. The Committee believes that the remuneration arrangements in place do not raise any health and safety, environmental, social or ethical issues, nor inadvertently motivate irresponsible behaviour.

Availability of documentation

Service contracts and letters of appointment for all Directors are available for inspection by any person at our registered office in Jersey and at our corporate services office in London. They will also be available for inspection during the 30 minutes prior to the start of our 2023 AGM.

Annual General Meeting

As set out in my statement on pages 125 and 126, our Remuneration Policy and Annual Report on Remuneration will be subject to advisory shareholder votes at the AGM to be held on 23 June 2023.

Directors' statements

Directors' responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual report and accounts and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

C_GEN Section C_GEN_Page C_GEN_PageL2

The Directors have chosen to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Directors are also responsible for the preparation of the Directors' remuneration report, which they have chosen to prepare, being under no obligation to do so under Jersey law. The Directors are also responsible for the preparation of the corporate governance report under the UK Listing Rules and FRC regulations.

Jersey company law (the 'Law') requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company at the period end and of the profit or loss of the Company for the period then ended. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors should:

  • Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
  • Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable
  • Specify which generally accepted accounting principles have been adopted in their preparation
  • Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements prepared by the Company comply with the requirements of the Law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company's website. Legislation in Jersey governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Directors' approach

The Board's objective is to present a fair, balanced and understandable assessment of the Company's position and prospects, particularly in the Annual report and accounts, half-year results announcement and other published documents and reports to Regulators. The Board has established an Audit Committee to assist with this obligation.

Going concern

The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are set out in the Strategic report on pages 6 to 25. The financial position of the Company, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described in the financial review on pages 88 to 93. In addition, note 2.5 to the financial statements includes the Company's objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives; details of its financial instruments and hedging activities; and its exposures to credit and liquidity risk.

The Board monitors closely the Group's cash flow forecasts and liquidity position throughout the year, including monitoring financial covenant headroom, to ensure it has sufficient financial resources. In addition, to support the going concern assessment, the Board robustly reviews the Group's cash flow forecasts over the Assessment Period, considering the committed facilities available to the Group. The Board has considered several risks to these projections under a severe but plausible downside scenario as set out in note 2.5 to the financial statements and noted that the Group's liquidity position in this scenario is reliant on a small number of collections from clients which are not entirely within the direct control of the Group.

Notwithstanding the material uncertainty noted above, the Directors have, as set out in note 2.5 to the consolidated financial statements, that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the Group financial statements to 31 December 2024. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

Responsibility statement of the Directors in respect of the Annual Report Each of the Directors listed on pages 99 and 100 confirms that, to the best of their knowledge:

  • The Annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable, and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company's position and performance, business model and strategy
  • The financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole
  • The Strategic report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards.

In our opinion:

  • Petrofac Limited's Group financial statements and parent company financial statements (the financial statements) give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of the Group's loss and parent company's profit for the year then ended;
  • the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards; and
  • the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, including the UK FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard were not provided to the Group or parent company and we remain independent of the Group and parent company in conducting the audit.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to note 2.5 in the financial statements. The Group has short term reliance on a small number of material collections relating to the closing out of historical contracts, settlements and advance payments from new awards which are not wholly within the control of management. As stated in note 2.5, these events or conditions, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

We draw attention to the viability statement in the Annual Report on page 94, which indicates that an assumption to the statement of viability is the receipt of a small number of material cash collections, as described in the going concern assessment. The Directors consider that the material uncertainty referred to in respect to going concern may cast significant doubt over the future viability of the Group and company should these events not complete. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors' assessment of the Group's and parent company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included the procedures below:

An overview of the scope of our audit

Tailoring the scope

Our assessment of audit risk, our evaluation of materiality and our allocation of performance materiality determine our audit scope for each company within the Group. Taken together, this enables us to form an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We take into account size, risk profile, the organisation of the Group and effectiveness of group-wide controls, changes in the business environment, the potential impact of climate change and other factors such as recent internal audit results when assessing the level of work to be performed at each company.

In assessing the risk of material misstatement to the Group financial statements, and to ensure we had adequate quantitative coverage of significant accounts in the financial statements, we selected nine components covering entities within the UAE, the UK, Malaysia and the USA, which represent the principal business units within the Group. The primary audit team performs audit procedures directly on those areas of accounting performed centrally, most notably in respect of certain of the key audit matters, namely significant fair value measurements, uncertain tax positions and the HMRC National Insurance enquiry.

Of the nine components selected, we performed an audit of the complete financial information of five components (full scope components) which were selected based on their size or risk

characteristics. For the remaining four components (specific scope components), we performed audit procedures on specific accounts within that component that we considered had the potential for the greatest impact on the significant accounts in the financial statements either because of the size of these accounts or their risk profile. The audit scope of these components may not have included testing of all significant accounts of the component but will have contributed to the coverage of significant accounts tested for the group.

Number % Group

% Group total
assets
Full scope components 5 82% 86% 83%
Specific scope components 4 11% 7% 10%
Total 9 93% 93% 93%

The primary audit team also performed specific procedures in respect of one further component.

Of the remaining components that together represent 7% of the Group's revenue, none are individually greater than 1% of the Group's revenue. For these components, we performed other procedures, including journal entry testing, analytical review, testing of consolidation entries, intercompany eliminations and foreign currency translation calculations to respond to any potential risks of material misstatement to the Group financial statements.

Changes from the prior year

The key change to our scoping from 2021 was the removal of one specific scope component as a result of the contingent consideration associated with the disposal of the Group's Mexican operations having been settled in 2022 (as detailed in note 17 of the consolidated financial statements).

Involvement with component teams

In establishing our overall approach to the Group audit, we determined the type of work that needed to be undertaken at each of the components by us, as the primary audit engagement team, or by component auditors from other EY global network firms operating under our instruction. Of the five full scope components, audit procedures were performed on two of these directly by the primary audit team, with the remainder performed by audit teams in the UAE, UK and Malaysia. For the four specific scope components, audit procedures were performed on two of these directly by the primary audit team, with the remainder performed by UAE and UK component teams.

Where the work was performed by component auditors, we determined the appropriate level of involvement to enable us to determine that sufficient audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our opinion on the Group as a whole.

The Group audit team performed a number of visits to component teams/locations designed to ensure that the lead audit partner or his designate visits each of the key locations to exercise oversight during key activities at the planning and execution phases. The nature and extent of these visits were designed relative to the size of the component, and the division of responsibilities between the local and primary team on the significant risk areas applicable to the component.

During the current year's audit cycle, visits were undertaken by the primary audit team to the component teams in the UAE (several visits), UK and Malaysia. In addition, the lead audit partner visited the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract in Thailand along with the component team from the UAE. These visits involved discussing the audit approach with the component team and any issues arising from their work, meeting with local management, attending planning and/or closing meetings, and reviewing key audit working papers on risk areas. These visits were supplemented by regular interactions with the component teams throughout the audit and review of relevant working papers. Accordingly the primary audit team executed its responsibility for the scope and direction of the audit process. This, together with the additional procedures performed at Group level, gave us appropriate evidence for our opinion on the Group financial statements.

Climate change

Stakeholders are increasingly interested in how climate change will impact Petrofac Limited. The Group has determined that the most significant future impacts from climate change on its operations will be from managing the transition to a lower carbon economy and developing its capabilities to unlock value for its clients as well as achieving its Net Zero targets. These are explained on pages 37 to 48 in the required Task Force for Climate related Financial Disclosures and on pages 78 to 87 in the principal risks and uncertainties. The Group has also explained its climate commitments on page 38. All of these disclosures form part of the "Other information," rather than the audited financial statements. Our procedures on these unaudited disclosures therefore consisted solely of considering whether they are materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated, in line with our responsibilities on "Other information".

In planning and performing our audit we assessed the potential impacts of climate change on the Group's business and any consequential material impact on its financial statements.

The Group has explained in note 2.7 of the consolidated financial statements how climate change has been reflected in the financial statements including how this aligns with their commitment to the aspirations of the Paris Agreement to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Significant judgements and estimates relating to climate change are included in note 2.7.

Our audit effort in considering the impact of climate change on the financial statements was focused on evaluating management's assessment of the impact of climate risk, physical and transition, their climate commitments, the effects of material climate risks and the significant judgements and estimates disclosed in note 2.7 and whether these have been appropriately reflected. As part of this evaluation, we performed our own risk assessment, supported by internal climate change specialists, to determine whether there were risks of material misstatement in the financial statements from climate change which needed to be considered in our audit.

We also challenged the Directors' considerations of climate change risks in their assessment of going concern and viability and associated disclosures.

Based on our work we have not identified the impact of climate change on the financial statements to be a key audit matter or to significantly impact a key audit matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters (KAMs) are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the material uncertainties related to going concern section, we have determined the matters on the following pages to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Revenue and margin recognition on fixed price engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts

Refer to the Audit Committee Report (page 121); Accounting policies (pages 178 to 180); and Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements (page 192).

EPC contracts are entered into by the Engineering & Construction (E&C) operating segment. Total E&C revenue for the year was US\$1.3bn (2021: US\$2.0bn) which represented 50% of Group revenue (2021: 64%).

Accounting for fixed price engineering, procurement and construction contracts requires significant judgement and estimation, which increases the risk of bias or error and subjects the process to the risk of management override of controls.

Key areas of judgement and estimation which directly impact revenue and contract margin recognised are:

  • recognition of variation orders and claims not yet approved by the customer in contract value;
  • estimation of variable consideration in respect of liquidated damages as a deduction to contract value; and
  • forecasting of costs to complete including contingencies.

We consider that the risk in this area has increased in the current year as a result of challenges experienced across the Group's maturing portfolio of contracts, including declining margin on certain contracts. In addition there was an investigation into cost recognition for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract in the year (see the separate KAM on the following pages: Investigation into cost recognition for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract and related prior year adjustment).

Our audit procedures on EPC contracts were performed mainly by the E&C component team based in the UAE with significant direct oversight and challenge by the Group audit team.

Our audit involved detailed testing on contracts that we assessed as being the most significant and judgemental; these 12 contracts represent 87% of the revenue subject to this risk. On the remaining 13%, we performed other procedures including analytical review, management enquiry and cost and accrual testing where material.

See the separate KAM below relating to the Investigation into cost recognition for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract and related prior year adjustment.

  • Key controls • Our audit procedures were primarily substantive in nature, however, we identified and assessed key controls over revenue recognition including:
  • senior audit team members from the component and Primary Teams attended a selection of key quarterly contract review meetings held during the year; and
  • transactional controls underpinning contract-related cost balances, including the purchase to pay and payroll process.
  • See the separate KAM below for our response to weaknesses in internal control identified as a result of the investigation in the year into cost recognition for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract.

Percentage of completion

  • We re-performed percentage of completion calculations, testing the clerical accuracy of revenue recognised in line with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
  • On a sample basis, we traced actual costs incurred in the period to supporting evidence, including purchase invoice and payment.

Variation orders and claims and liquidated damages

  • We inspected the contractual terms relevant to recognised variations and claims to ensure their recognition was supported by enforceable rights under the relevant contract.
  • We challenged management assertions in relation to the recognition of unapproved variation orders and claims, and the non-recognition of potential liquidated damages by inspecting correspondence and minutes of meetings between senior management and the customer and by reviewing the track record of settlements with the customer and/or in the wider region.
  • We inspected supporting documentation and tested a sample of underlying costs supporting the recognition of variation orders and claims not yet approved in contract value. In assessing such claims, we also considered the extent of the recognised value as compared to the gross claims identified.
  • Where management had engaged a third-party claims specialist or had obtained legal advice, we obtained and reviewed their reports, met directly with the specialist and assessed their competency and objectivity.
  • We tested contract cost accruals on a sample basis by agreeing components of accruals to purchase orders, progress reports and payroll data.

Costs to complete including contingencies

  • We tested cost to complete estimates by agreeing project material and subcontractor costs to quotations or rate schedules and manpower costs to mobilisation reports.
  • We assessed changes in cost estimates in the year, including those reflected in trading updates issued by the Group in December 2022 and April 2023, gaining an understanding of the drivers of these and challenging their completeness and appropriateness , in particular for onerous contracts. Also see the separate key audit matter below (Investigation into cost recognition for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract and related prior year adjustment) for incremental procedures performed in response to this matter.
  • We performed analytical procedures comparing budgets and prior period estimates and retrospectively assessed the accuracy of historical forecasts.
  • We challenged management's assessment and the legal basis for the treatment of subcontractor claims.
  • We challenged the adequacy of the contract contingencies included in forecast costs to complete with respect to the physical progress on the project and remaining costs to complete based on our understanding of the project status, Petrofac's experience and consideration of any contra-indicators, including external sources. We analysed the movements throughout the life of the contract, compared against similar contracts and challenged management's conclusions in light of remaining contract tenor and the associated risks.

Disclosures

• We assessed the adequacy of the Group's disclosures about the degree of estimation and judgment involved in determining the revenue and margin to be recognised on the Group's fixed price engineering, procurement and construction contracts.

We detail our considerations with respect to issues identified by an investigation in the year with respect to the accounting for contract costs in the separate KAM below (Investigation into cost recognition for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract and related prior year adjustment).

Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee

Other than these matters, and after adjustments reflected by management following audit challenge, we concluded that revenue and margin recognition on fixed price engineering, procurement and construction contracts has been appropriately recognised in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15.

We are also satisfied that the significant judgements and estimates associated with revenue recognition have been appropriately disclosed in note 2 to the Group financial statements.

Investigation into cost recognition for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract and related

  • Statements (page 188) • Following questions raised by the Group's Internal Audit function around the timing of cost recognition on the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract, an onerous contract for accounting purposes, the Group initiated an investigation into this matter. This was performed by the Petrofac Group Investigations Team (GIT) with assistance in certain areas by an external forensics specialist.
  • The investigation identified contract cost information available ahead of the completion of the 2021 Annual report and accounts which had not been appropriately considered for financial reporting purposes in the prior year. This was determined to be a significant deficiency in internal controls with respect to this contract.
  • As a result of analysis of this information, the company has recorded a prior year adjustment in the financial statements, increasing contract losses by US\$48m as at 31 December 2021. Details of this adjustment are reflected in note 2.9 to the consolidated financial statements. Management concluded that no adjustment was required as at 31 December 2020 as it is not practicable to determine what, if anything, this should have been.

This is a new key audit matter in the current year.

  • We challenged management and the Board as to how they had satisfied themselves that there were not similar occurrences on other contracts. We reviewed their approach and the resulting findings.
  • We designed and performed incremental audit procedures on the Group's E&C contracts to identify if there were similar issues arising beyond the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract. These included assessing the exposure of individual projects to similar issues based on their stage of completion and progression over 2021 and 2022, performing incremental enquiries of management and reconfirming audit evidence around project information used for contract accounting for a number of projects

Prior year adjustment

  • We audited the prior year adjustment determined by management. We challenged judgments and/or assumptions used in this calculation, assessing these against the evidence obtained through the investigation, the conclusions of GIT and the specialist engaged by management and our knowledge of the project obtained from other audit procedures. Specifically, this focussed on the cut-off between costs estimated to have been identifiable in periods prior to 31 December 2021 and those relating to 2022.
  • We challenged management as to whether components of the prior year adjustment could reasonably be attributed to 2020, by assessing information arising from the investigation that was available prior to the 2020 Annual report and accounts, enquiry around this of relevant management, and consideration of audit evidence previously obtained.
  • We challenged the impact of this prior year adjustment on covenant compliance in 2021.

Disclosures

  • We audited the disclosure of the prior year adjustment as reflected in note 2.9 to the financial statements.
  • We reviewed other disclosures in the Annual report and accounts, assessing whether these accurately and sufficiently disclosed the investigation and its implications as well as management and the Board's response to the control weaknesses identified relating to this project.

We are satisfied that the scope and approach of the investigation was sufficient to appropriately explore the concerns raised by Internal Audit and to identify information and evidence of potential relevance to the cumulative accounting for the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract as at 31 December 2021 and 2022.

Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee

We concluded that there is a reasonable basis for the prior year adjustment reflected in the financial statements. Given the passage of time and the nature of these cost estimates, it is impracticable to retrospectively determine what costs were known about at the end of December 2020 and so, in accordance with IAS8, the prior year adjustment has been recorded in 2021.

Our procedures, and those of management, have not identified any similar occurrences relating to other contracts.

We conclude that related disclosures in the financial statements and in other information included in the Annual Report are appropriate and sufficient.

Risk Our audit response to the risk

Significant fair value measurements

Refer to the Accounting policies (page 178); and Notes 6 and 17 of the Consolidated Financial Statements (pages 200 and 212).

There are a number of significant fair value estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements which require significant assumptions and judgments to be made, namely:

Recoverable value of PM304: during 2022, the Group reviewed the recoverable amount of its Block PM304 oil and gas assets, recognising a reversal of impairment of \$6 million (2021 restated: impairment of US\$33 million). In making this assessment there are a number of key assumptions including volumes of reserves and related production profile, future oil prices and the likelihood of securing a PSC license extension beyond 2026. During 2022, the Group identified inconsistencies between the assets and liabilities included in the carrying value of Block PM304's and the cashflow forecasts used to estimate recoverable amount. This resulted in the prior period(s) consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of financial position being restated.

JSD6000 deferred consideration: the deferred consideration associated with the disposal of the JSD6000 installation vessel is carried at fair value, which at year-end was determined to be US\$56m (2021 US\$55m). The fair value of the deferred consideration is dependent on key assumptions around the Group's partner's continued intent and capability to complete the construction and commissioning of the vessel within the due timeframe and the market for such a vessel when it is ready for sale.

Embedded derivative in respect of the revolving credit facility: the embedded derivative was entered into as part of the Group's refinancing exercise which took place in October 2021 and is carried at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value is impacted by key assumptions around the Group's credit rating.

We consider that the risk has remained consistent with the prior year. In the prior year this area also included the contingent consideration associated with the disposal of the Group's Mexican operations, but the contingent consideration has been received during 2022 and therefore this component of the risk has been resolved.

Our audit procedures on these areas were performed by the Group audit team, with assistance from our component team in Malaysia for our evaluation of the recoverable value of PM304.

Recoverable value of PM304

We obtained management's impairment assessment and challenged the significant underlying assumptions. Our procedures included:

  • assessing the design and implementation of the key controls over the process to estimate the recoverable value of PM304;
  • making enquiries around field performance and understanding the basis for estimates of recoverable reserves and resources and the forecast production profile prepared by Petrofac's reserves specialists. We also assessed the competence and objectivity of these specialists;
    • making enquiries of key management and reviewing external correspondence to validate assumptions around the uncertainty of securing a license extension beyond 2026;
  • independently validating the future oil price assumptions made in the cashflow forecasts by comparing to external forecasts made by peers, banks, brokers and consultants;
  • testing the clerical accuracy of the impairment model;
  • involving EY valuations specialists to assist us in concluding on the appropriateness of the discount factor applied;
  • challenging management on the consistency of the assets and liabilities included in the carrying value of Block PM304 and the forecast cashflows used to estimate the asset's recoverable value; and
  • auditing the appropriateness of the prior year adjustment booked by management.

JSD6000 deferred consideration

We obtained management's assessment of the fair value of JSD6000 deferred consideration and challenged the underlying assumptions. Our procedures included:

  • Assessing the design and implementation of the key controls over the process to fair value the JSD6000 deferred consideration;
  • Obtaining management's valuation analysis for the deferred consideration receivable, which is underpinned by a vessel valuation report from a third-party specialist engaged by management;
  • Assessing the competency and objectivity of management's specialist;
  • Making enquiries of management as to the future plans for the vessel, as it approaches completion, and meeting directly with management's external valuation specialist. We inspected relevant evidence, including the year end vessel progress report; and
  • Engaging internal EY valuation specialists to assist us in independently evaluating management's external valuer's findings and considering any contraevidence.

Embedded derivative in respect of RCF

We obtained management's valuation analysis for the embedded derivative and challenged the underlying assumptions. Our procedures included:

  • Assessing the design and implementation of the key controls over the process to fair value the embedded derivative in respect of the RCF; and
  • Engaging internal EY valuation specialists to assist us in preparing an independent valuation of the embedded derivative.

Disclosures

We assessed the appropriateness and completeness of the disclosures in the financial statements, including the appropriateness of the related sensitivity disclosures and the classification of these fair value movements as separately disclosed items.

We have concluded that the recoverable value of Block PM304 (and related reversal of impairment in the year) and the fair value of the JSD6000 deferred consideration and embedded derivative in respect of the RCF have been appropriately determined.

Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee

We concluded that the prior year adjustment relating to Block PM304 was appropriate.

We reviewed the disclosures in Note 2 to the Group financial statements regarding the significant estimation uncertainties inherent in accounting for these items and have concluded that the disclosures are appropriate.

Accounting for uncertain tax positions

Refer to the Audit Committee Report (page 122); Accounting policies (pages 177 to 178); and Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements (page 203).

The Group operates in multiple tax jurisdictions where uncertain tax treatments may be challenged at a later date by the relevant authorities.

Liabilities of US\$59 million (2021 restated: US\$85 million) are held principally in respect of tax deductions previously taken, transfer pricing arrangements and ongoing tax audits. This is an area which requires management to exercise significant judgement as to the likelihood of an adverse outcome for the Group, and estimation as to the likely outflow in the event of such a finding.

We consider that the risk associated with this key audit matter has remained consistent with the prior year.

Risk Our audit response to the risk

Our primary tax audit team based in the UK coordinated our audit approach to uncertain tax treatments. Local tax experts in relevant jurisdictions were involved as needed to provide input on specific local tax matters.

Completeness of identified exposures and claims

  • We assessed the design and implementation of key controls over management's process to identify and evaluate uncertain tax positions.
  • We considered potential implications for new contracts entered into in existing or new jurisdictions for the Group.

Assessment of exposures and claims

• We evaluated the risks associated with identified exposures and any claims or assessments made by tax authorities to date. We also inspected documentation, considering whether developments in any ongoing tax audits during the year necessitated a change in estimate on any provision.

• We also considered whether any interest or penalties should apply based on relevant legislation and historical experience with the authority in question.

Disclosures

• We have also reviewed the disclosures in Note 2 to the Group financial statements regarding the significant estimation uncertainties inherent in accounting for these items and have concluded that the disclosures are appropriate.

to the Audit Committee We are satisfied that the amounts recognised in respect of uncertain tax treatments have been accounted for in accordance with the requirements of IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments and represent management's best estimate based on the Group's experience in the relevant jurisdictions and historical tax assessments concluded with the tax authorities.

In the prior year, our auditor's report included a key audit matter in relation to the Conclusion of the SFO investigation. In the current year, this matter is no longer relevant following the conclusion of this investigation and the related £77 million penalty being settled in 2022.

In the prior year, our auditor's report also included a key audit matter in relation to the Recoverability of deferred tax assets. In the current year, this is no longer considered a key audit matter following a reduction in the balance recognised to from US\$18m to US\$1m in the year. As a result, this matter did not require a high level of involvement from senior members of the engagement team in 2020, leading to the removal of the recoverability of deferred tax assets as a Key Audit Matter this year.

Our application of materiality

We apply the concept of materiality in planning and performing the audit, in evaluating the effect of identified misstatements on the audit and in forming our audit opinion.

Materiality

The magnitude of an omission or misstatement that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. Materiality provides a basis for determining the nature and extent of our audit procedures.

We determined materiality for the Group to be US\$10.0 million (2021: US\$8.0 million), which is 0.38% (2021: 0.25%) of Group revenue. We believe that stakeholders and users of the financial statements continue to be focused on revenue and revenue-related metrics, such as new order intake and backlog. Revenue has historically also been a leading indicator for the profitability and cash flow generating ability of the Group. Thus, we determined that revenue continues to represent an appropriate basis on which to set materiality in 2022. Materiality was set at this level in planning the audit following the closure of the SFO investigation. We revisited our determination of materiality in light of actual results and audit findings. Whilst additional audit procedures were undertaken in certain areas in response to audit findings, we did not consider that our overall materiality should be revised.

We determined materiality for the Parent Company to be US\$10.0 million (2021: US\$9.4 million), based on 0.5% (2021: 0.5%) of total assets

During the course of our audit, we reassessed initial materiality and concluded that no changes were necessary.

Performance materiality

The application of materiality at the individual account or balance level. It is set at an amount to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality.

On the basis of our risk assessments, together with our assessment of the Group's overall control environment, our judgement was that performance materiality was 50% (2021: 50%) of our planning materiality, namely US\$5.0m (2021: US\$4.0m).

We determined performance materiality for the Parent Company was 50% (2021: 50%) of our planning materiality namely US\$5.0 million (2021: US\$4.7 million).

Audit work at component locations for the purpose of obtaining audit coverage over significant financial statement accounts is undertaken based on a percentage of total performance materiality. The performance materiality set for each component is based on the relative scale and risk of the component to the Group as a whole and our assessment of the risk of misstatement at that component. In the current year, the range of performance materiality allocated to components was US\$1.0m to US\$5.0m (2021: US\$0.8m to US\$4.0m).

Reporting threshold

An amount below which identified misstatements are considered as being clearly trivial.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them all uncorrected audit differences in excess of \$0.5m (2021: \$0.4m), which is set at 5% of planning materiality, as well as differences below that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We also agreed that we would report to the Audit Committee any uncorrected reclassification misstatements above 2% of the any primary financial statement line items to which the misstatement relates.

We evaluate any uncorrected misstatements against both the quantitative measures of materiality discussed above and in light of other relevant qualitative considerations in forming our opinion.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report set out on pages 1 to 152, including the Strategic Report and Governance Report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

  • proper accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or proper returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the financial statements are not in agreement with the parent company's accounting records and returns; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Listing Rules require us to review the directors' statement in relation to going concern, longerterm viability and that part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the Group's compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review by the Listing Rules.

Notwithstanding the impact of the matters disclosed in the material uncertainties related to the going concern section, based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the following elements of the Corporate Governance Statement is materially consistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit:

  • Directors' statement with regards to the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis of accounting and any material uncertainties identified set out on page 152;
  • Directors' explanation as to its assessment of the Company's prospects, the period this assessment covers and why the period is appropriate set out on page 94;
  • Director's statement on whether it has a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meets its liabilities set out on page 152;
  • Directors' statement on fair, balanced and understandable set out on page 120;
  • Board's confirmation that it has carried out a robust assessment of the emerging and principal risks set out on pages 76 to 87;
  • The section of the annual report that describes the review of effectiveness of risk management and internal control systems set out on page 118; and;
  • The section describing the work of the audit committee set out on pages 114 to 122.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 152, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's and parent company's ability 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 parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 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 ISAs (UK) 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 these financial statements.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the company and management.

• We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the Group and determined that the most significant are International Financial Reporting Standards, the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, the UK Corporate Governance Code, the UK Bribery Act, employment law, environmental regulations, health and safety, and tax legislation in the jurisdictions where the group operates.

  • We understood how Group is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management, those charged with governance, internal audit, those responsible for legal and compliance procedures and the company secretary. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of board minutes and papers provided to the Audit Committee, as well as by considering the results of our audit procedures across the group. Out assessment considered the tone set from the top by senior management and the emphasis placed on a culture of honest and ethical behaviour.
  • We assessed the susceptibility of the Group's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by meeting with individuals from various parts of the business to gather their views. We considered the programmes and controls that the Group has established to address the risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter or detect fraud, and how senior management monitors those programmes and controls. We engaged our forensics specialists to provide input on specific aspects of our audit approach to risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;
  • Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations that could give risk to a material misstatement in the financial statements. These procedures included:
  • those discussed above with respect to key audit matters, including revenue and margin recognition and responding to the investigation into the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract,
  • addressing the risk of management override, including around judgments and estimates, through audit work on the identified key audit matters and other procedures including journal entry testing;
  • assessment of the nature and cause of prior year adjustments for wider implications on the financial statements and control environment;
  • the provision of specific instructions to component teams including a specific work programme to address the risks of bribery and corruption;
  • enquiries of Group management, those charged with governance, legal counsel, and internal audit.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Other matters we are required to address

  • We were first appointed by the company to audit the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2005 and subsequent financial periods. The period of total uninterrupted engagement including previous renewals and reappointments is 18 years, covering the years ending 31 December 2005 to 31 December 2022.
  • The audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Corporate information

Petrofac Limited (the 'Company') is a limited liability company registered and domiciled in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and is the holding company for the international group of Petrofac subsidiaries. Petrofac Limited and its subsidiaries at 31 December 2022 comprised the Petrofac Group (the 'Group'). Information on the Group's subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements is contained in note 34 to these consolidated financial statements. Information on the Group's related party transactions is provided in note 31. The Group's principal activity is to design, build, manage and maintain infrastructure for the energy industries.

The Company's and the Group's financial statements (the 'consolidated financial statements') for the year ended 31 December 2022 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 27 April 2023. The Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 are shown on pages 242 to 262.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and applicable requirements of Jersey law.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, and deferred consideration receivable that has been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest million (US\$m), unless otherwise stated.

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous year. An additional balance sheet as at 1 January 2021 is presented in these consolidated financial statements due to the retrospective correction of errors (note 2.9).

2.2 Presentation of results

The Group uses Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) when assessing and discussing the Group's financial performance, financial position and cash flows that are not defined or specified under IFRS. The Group uses these APMs, which are not considered to be a substitute for or superior to IFRS measures, to provide stakeholders with useful information on underlying trends and additional useful information by adjusting for separately disclosed items which impact upon IFRS measures or, by defining new measures, to aid the understanding of the Group's financial performance, financial position and cash flows (refer to notes 2.8 and 6 and Appendix A for more details).

2.3 Adoption of new financial reporting standards, amendments and interpretations Effective new financial reporting standards

The Group applied for the first time certain standards and amendments which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The following amendments apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group:

  • The Group has adopted Onerous Contracts Costs of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37) from 1 January 2022. When determining whether a contract is onerous, the Group previously included both incremental costs and an allocation of costs related to contract activities to fulfil a contract (such as depreciation of equipment used to fulfil the contract and costs of contract management and supervision). General and administrative costs that do not relate directly to a contract are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract. As the Group's policy was consistent with the amendments to IAS 37, it did not result in a change in accounting policy for performing onerous contracts assessments.
  • Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before intended use Amendments to IAS 16
  • Reference to the Conceptual Framework Amendments to IFRS 3
  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020

2.4 Financial reporting standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective

Certain new financial reporting standards, amendments and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 31 December 2022 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group and the impact of these standards is not expected to be material for the Group.

2.5 Going concern

Introduction

The Directors have performed a robust going concern assessment for the period to 31 December 2024, to validate the continued application of the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements of the Group. This included reviewing and challenging downside scenarios considered to be severe but plausible based on the principal risks and uncertainties, as set out on pages 76 to 87 of the Group's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022.

The Directors evaluated the Group's funding position, liquidity and covenant headroom to assess the Group's ability to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the Group's consolidated financial statements on 27 April 2023. The going concern assessment period is the 20-month period from 27 April 2023 to 31 December 2024 (the Assessment Period). The Directors concluded that the disclosures contained herein sufficiently address relevant events and conditions in the Assessment Period.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Approach

In evaluating whether the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, the Directors performed the following procedures in developing the mitigated severe but plausible downside scenario:

  • Extended the Assessment Period to 20 months to take it beyond the maturity of its existing bank loan facilities.
  • Reviewed the Group's forecast cash flows, liquidity and covenant compliance over the Assessment Period under the extended facilities. Cash flow and liquidity projections were based on management's best estimates of future commodity prices, new order intake, project and contract schedules and costs, collections, commercial settlements, oil and gas production and capital expenditure.
  • Modelled a range of severe but plausible downside scenarios to reflect uncertainties inherent in forecasting future operational and financial performance, including changes in geo-political or macro-economic environments. These included, but were not limited to, lower order intake, cost overruns, adverse commercial settlements, a deterioration in net working capital and adverse outcomes on contingent liabilities.
  • Evaluated the mitigating actions deemed to be in the control of management, including, but not limited to, reducing costs through further headcount, salary and third-party cost reductions, and conserving cash through working capital management and reductions in uncommitted capital expenditure. Additional mitigations, such as the disposal of non-core assets, are available, but have not been included as the outcome of such actions are not entirely in the control of management.
  • Performed a stress test analysis which extended the mitigated severe but plausible downside scenario analysis by modelling the impact of no new orders being secured in the Assessment Period.

Key risks

The risks to which forecast cash flows are most sensitive over the Assessment Period are: (i) working capital movements, in particular the timing of relatively high value collections, (ii) low new order intake; (iii) contract cost overruns and (iv) adverse commercial settlements. With a low E&C backlog, including some onerous mature contracts, and relatively high working capital balances in the E&C operating segment, these four risks could have a significant impact on the Group's ability to maintain positive liquidity and covenant compliance over the Assessment Period.

The Directors noted that the impact of any identified cost increases on the mature E&C portfolio of contracts was reflected in the Group's financial performance to 31 December 2022 and in future margin forecasts. With seven contracts completed or substantially completed(1) in 2022 and a further five of the remaining eight active contracts scheduled for completion in 2023, the Directors have

concluded that the risk of further cost increases during the Assessment Period is lower than in prior years.

Furthermore, the Directors noted that the recent awards, including the framework agreement and the first platform contract with TenneT, as well the remaining tenders where the Group is the preferred bidder, provide the Directors with additional confidence that the downside risk from low order intake is reduced.

(1) contracts where (i) a Provisional Acceptance Certificate (PAC) has been issued by the client, or (ii) transfer of care and custody (TCC) to the client has taken place, or (iii) PAC or TCC are imminent and no substantive work remains to be performed by Petrofac.

Compliance with financial covenants

The Group complied with its financial covenant obligations throughout the period to 30 September 2022, with the support of its lending banks in providing adjustments to certain covenant tests during the period, and secured a waiver for the financial covenant testing date of 31 December 2022 as part of amendment and extension of the Group's bank facilities.

The amendment and extension of the Group's bank facilities, which took place after the balance sheet date, replaced the previous financial covenants with two new financial covenants in respect of minimum liquidity and minimum EBITDA. The Group is projected to comply with its financial covenants in the mitigated severe but plausible downside scenario, throughout the Assessment Period.

If financial performance deteriorates significantly below this case, the Group may have difficulty complying with the financial covenants in their current form and further amendments or waivers may be required. In their assessment of the Group's going concern position, the Directors have made a significant judgement that the Group will remain in compliance with its minimum EBITDA financial covenant or, alternatively, if a covenant breach became likely, that the Group would be able to secure appropriate amendments or waivers to this covenant to ensure compliance. The factors that supported this judgement include:

  • The Group's lenders have been supportive over a number of years through extensions and amendments to the Group's borrowing facilities.
  • The Group has a positive outlook with the recent framework and first contract awards from TenneT, US\$1.5bn of contracts at preferred bidder stage and a strong bidding pipeline of approximately US\$51bn in the period to June 2024 in the E&C operating segment. In addition, performance in Asset Solutions remains strong, with further growth forecast, and the outlook for IES remaining robust supported by oil price expectations.
  • The Group continues to forecast positive liquidity throughout the Assessment Period.

Given the relatively small number of contracts currently in execution in E&C, and the maturity of that portfolio, in the near-term the Group is reliant on a small number of relatively high value collections in respect of the conclusion of some historical contracts, settlements and new awards which are not wholly within the control of management.

Whilst the liquidity forecasts, on a mitigated severe but plausible scenario, show that the Group maintains positive liquidity and remains in compliance with the minimum liquidity financial covenant throughout the Assessment Period, material delays in these collections could pose a risk to liquidity covenant compliance and to the Group's liquidity.

Until such time as these near-term collections have been secured, therefore, there is a material uncertainty that the Group can maintain covenant compliance and positive liquidity throughout the Assessment Period.

Assessment

Notwithstanding the material uncertainty noted above, the Directors considered the following factors in their going concern assessment:

  • The Group retains sufficient liquidity to support operations, and settle debt as it becomes due, throughout the Assessment Period, in the mitigated severe but plausible downside scenario.
  • The Group remains compliant with its financial covenants throughout the Assessment Period in the mitigated severe but plausible downside scenario.
  • The Group retains positive liquidity in the stress test analysis which modelled the impact of no new orders being secured in the Assessment Period, though in such a scenario it would breach its financial covenants.
  • The Group's recent awards and future pipeline underpin the Group's business plan projections.
  • The Group has a proven track record of taking timely actions to effectively mitigate downside risks, including cutting costs, conserving cash and divesting assets.
  • The collections for which there is timing uncertainty relate primarily to existing contractual entitlements of the Group or to awards for which we are currently at preferred bidder stage.

Conclusion

The Directors concluded, after rigorously evaluating relevant, available information, that, they remain confident in the prospects of the Group to maintain compliance with its financial covenants and sufficient liquidity even in a severe but plausible downside scenario.

However, the Group's liquidity position in the mitigated severe but plausible downside scenario is reliant on a small number of collections from clients which are not entirely within the direct control of the Group. Consequently, in accordance with accounting standards, the Directors have concluded that there is a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern during the Assessment Period for the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 relating to the timing of receipt of these collections from clients.

Basis of preparation

Based on this comprehensive assessment, the Directors concluded that the continued use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 remains appropriate.

2.6 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) as at 31 December 2022. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Generally, there is a presumption that a voting rights majority results in control. Net profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to Petrofac Limited shareholders and to non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to align their accounting policies with the Group's accounting policies.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group ceases to control a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement. Any investment retained is recognised at fair value.

Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All transaction costs associated with business combinations are charged to the consolidated income statement in the reporting period of such combination.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.

Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as a liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statement in accordance with IFRS 9.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired together with the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill relates.

Investment in associates and joint arrangements

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those considerations applied to determine control over subsidiaries.

Associates and joint ventures

The Group's investments in its associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

The consolidated income statement reflects the Group's share of the net profits of the associate or joint venture.

Any unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's ownership interest in these associates and joint ventures.

The financial statements of the associates and joint ventures are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to align the accounting policies with those of the Group.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that its investment in its associates or joint ventures are impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group estimates the amount of any impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying amount and recognises this impairment loss in the consolidated income statement.

Joint operations

The Group's interests in joint operations are recognised in relation to its interest in a joint operation's:

  • Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly
  • Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly
  • Revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation
  • Share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation
  • Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly

For joint operations, the Group's share of revenue earned and expenses incurred are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Assets controlled and liabilities incurred by the Group are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet.

Foreign currency translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (US\$).

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Functional currency is defined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Group uses the direct method of consolidation and on disposal of a foreign operation, the gain or loss that is reclassified to net profit or loss reflects the amount that arises from using this method.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group's entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.

Differences arising on the settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in other operating income or other operating expenses line items, as appropriate, of the consolidated income statement.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

Group subsidiaries

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with non-United States dollars functional currencies are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their income statements are translated at monthly average rates. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in the consolidated statement of other

comprehensive income. On disposal of a subsidiary with non-United States dollars as a functional currency, the component of the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income relating to currency translation is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

On consolidation, unrealised foreign exchange differences on intra-group balances arising from translation of foreign operations are presented in the reconciliation of profit before tax and separately disclosed items to cash generated from operations in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

2.7 Significant accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, separate to those involving estimations (see below), which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:

Significant judgements associated with revenue recognition

  • Revenue recognition on fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts: the Group measures progress and recognises revenue on fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts using the input method, based on the actual cost of work performed at the end of the reporting period as a percentage of the estimated total contract costs at completion. The Group considers the input method to faithfully depict the Group's performance in transferring control of goods and services to the customer and provides meaningful information in respect of progress towards the satisfaction of performance obligations on its contracts.
  • In the early stages of contract completion, the outcome of a contract generally cannot be estimated reliably. The Group has established a threshold where contract revenues are recognised only to the extent of costs incurred to reflect this uncertainty. This threshold has been applied by the Group using a rebuttable presumption that contracts below 15% completion cannot yet be estimated reliably; however, judgement may be applied to deviate from this threshold dependent upon an objective evaluation of operational and contractual risks, e.g. taking into account contract value, duration, geography, complexities involved in the execution of the contract, past experience with the customer, and risk mitigations.
  • Management applies certain judgements associated with recognition and non-recognition of variable consideration, such as assessed variation orders and liquidated damages. The factors considered when determining whether to recognise variable consideration, together with the associated estimation uncertainty, are discussed below under section 'Estimation uncertainty'.
  • Revenue recognition on joint arrangement contracts: the Group recognises its share of revenue and profit from contracts executed as part of a consortium in accordance with the agreed consortium contractual arrangement. In selecting the appropriate accounting treatment, the main consideration is the determination of whether the joint arrangement is a joint operation or joint

venture (though not directly related to revenue recognition, this judgement has a material impact on presentation in the consolidated income statement) in accordance with IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements'.

Significant judgements associated with contingent liabilities and provisions

Management applies significant judgements in determining whether it has a present or a possible obligation to disclose a contingent liability or a probable obligation to recognise a provision in the consolidated financial statements (note 27). Management, in certain instances, takes into consideration legal advice from its legal counsel and external legal advisors as well as independent specialist advice, to determine the probability of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits that will be required to settle the obligation, if determined. Typically, the contingent liabilities include pending legal and tax cases with regulatory authorities and/or third parties; see note 30.

Significant judgements associated with cloud-based software and development costs

When the Group incurs customisation and configuration costs, as part of a service agreement, judgement is also required in assessing whether the Group has control over the resources defined in the arrangement. Management has considered the IFRIC agenda decision in April 2021 on the clarification of accounting in relation to these costs and applied the following judgements which have the most significant impact on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

(i) Determining whether cloud computing arrangements contain a software licence intangible asset The Group evaluates a cloud computing arrangement to determine if it provides a resource that the Group can control. The Group considers that a software licence intangible asset exists in a cloud computing arrangement when all of the following criteria are met at the inception of the arrangement:

  • The Group has the contractual right to take possession of the software during the hosting period without significant penalty
  • The costs incurred to configure or customise SaaS arrangements result in the creation of a resource which is identifiable, and the Group has the power to obtain the future economic benefits flowing from the underlying resource and to restrict the access of others to those benefits
  • It is feasible for the Group to run the software on its own hardware or contract with another party unrelated to the supplier to host the software

(ii) Determining whether configuration and customisation costs provide a distinct service from access to the SaaS

The Group applies judgement in determining whether costs incurred provide a distinct service, aside from access to the SaaS. Where it is determined that no distinct service is identifiable, the related costs are recognised as expenses over the duration of the service contract.

As a result of the above assessment, US\$10m was expensed (2021: US\$12m) in relation to SaaS arrangements where the configuration and customisation were assessed to provide a distinct service to access the SaaS. See note 6 for further details.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Significant judgements associated with climate change-related risks

In response to the Paris Agreement goals, the Group has set a target to reduce its net GHG emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) to zero by 2030. The Group continues to develop its assessment of the potential impacts of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Group's current climate change strategy focuses on reducing GHG emissions, investing in low-emission technologies, supporting emission reductions in the value chain and promoting product stewardship, managing climate-related risk and opportunity, and working with clients and subcontractors as they develop their policies and responses, and diversifying its client base.

The Engineering & Construction and Asset Solutions operating segments are by their nature not asset intensive. Consequently, the Group's activities, with the exception of the PM304 business, are inherently less dependent on its own physical assets or infrastructure, and as a result, at 31 December 2022, only 18% of total assets were non-current assets (2021: 19%) and only 7% were property, plant and equipment (2021: 7%). As the climate-related risks are dynamically changing, the Group regularly assesses the impact of these risks on the significant judgements applied in the preparation of the Group's financial statements.

The Group's assessment indicates that it has limited exposure to climate-related risks. Estimates which are exposed to climate-related risks but are not considered significant judgements are analysed below:

  • Revenue and cash flow forecasts in respect of the Group's IES operating segment are directly dependent on commodity prices. As the current forecasts are limited to the period up to 2026 (in line with the contractual end date of the current Production Sharing Contract, note 6), the forecast commodity prices are not aligned to the Paris Agreement goals.
  • Property, plant and equipment (note 12): consists primarily of oil and gas assets and facilities relating to Block PM304 and MOPU lease, land and buildings, and other small assets. Block PM304 includes capitalised decommissioning costs of US\$54m (2021: US\$50m). The oil and gas assets and facilities have an assumed estimated useful life to 2026 and therefore the future impact of climate-related risks on oil prices does not have a material impact on the carrying value of the Group's oil and gas assets and facilities. The building and leasehold assets are expected to have minimal exposure to climate-related risks, including any specific risks associated with their locations. Vehicles and office furniture and equipment also have insignificant climate-related risks and have overall useful economic lives ending before 2030.
  • Goodwill is allocated to the Engineering & Construction cash-generating unit (CGU) (US\$41m) and the Asset Solutions CGU (US\$55m). The underlying businesses are forecast to generate sufficient cash flows over the next five years to support these current carrying values.

• Intangible assets include customer contracts pertaining to W&W Energy Services Inc and Group-wide digital IT systems. Those assets will be fully amortised by 2030 and therefore the risk related to climate change is minimal.

Future changes to the Group's climate change strategy or global decarbonisation milestones may impact the Group's significant judgements and key estimates in future reporting periods. Any future change to the Group's climate change strategy could impact its Net Zero target and the Group's significant judgements and key estimates.

Significant judgements associated with the preparation of the parent and consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis

Management is required to assess the appropriateness of the parent and the Group's consolidated financial statements being prepared on a going concern basis; for details see note 2.5.

Estimation uncertainty, including continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic

While the adverse impact of Covid-19 on the Group's operations is gradually declining, economic and financial risks still remain which could result in changes to estimates and could have an impact on the Group's financial performance, financial position and cash flows in the next 12 months. The principal assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period are discussed below:

Fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts

• Recognition of assessed variation orders (AVOs) pending customer approval: an AVO is a management estimate of payment due from the customer resulting from a customer-instructed change in the contractual scope of work or for the reimbursement of costs not included in the contract price. The assessment for contract modification is based on discussions with the customer and a range of factors, including contractual entitlement, prior experience of the customer and of similar contracts with other customers. When such modifications or changes to contract are approved in writing, by oral agreement or implied by customary business practices including where the parties have yet to reach final agreement on changes in scope or pricing (or both) but where the Group believes it has an enforceable right to payment, the Group recognises revenues and profit from AVOs using the expected value approach. It assesses/reassesses AVOs at contract inception and at each reporting date where it is considered highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the AVO is subsequently resolved. In performing the assessment, management considers the likelihood of any such resolution being made by reference to the contract, independent specialist advice, customer communications, past experience with the customer and other forms of documentary evidence. At 31 December 2022, AVOs of US\$378m

were recognised in the consolidated balance sheet (2021: US\$338m), of which US\$372m (2021: US\$337m) was included within the contract assets; and US\$6m (2021: US\$1m) was included as an offset against contract liabilities; see note 20. Where AVOs pending customer approval are not subsequently resolved in the Group's favour, this could result in reductions to, or reversals of, previously recognised revenue. The AVOs recorded in the financial statements are in respect of a number of contracts, with AVOs relating to two contracts representing approximately half of the total balance recorded. Whilst it is assessed as highly probable that there will not be a significant subsequent reversal of revenue associated with recognised AVOs, subsequent resolution of these may result in settlement in excess of, but occasionally below, the AVO recorded in the financial statements. Settlement of the outstanding AVOs at an increase or decrease of 5% would result in an increase or decrease in revenue of US\$19m.

  • Liquidated damages (LDs): LDs are contractual penalties applied by the customer, normally relating to failure of the contractor to meet agreed performance and progress outcomes. The Group estimates the application of LDs using the expected value approach and recognises an associated amount as a reduction to contract revenue unless it is highly probable that LDs will not be imposed. The Group reassesses its exposure to LD applications at each reporting date. The estimation of LDs is highly judgemental and requires a deterministic probability assessment of the monetary amount of LDs liable. The estimation involves a number of management judgements and estimates including the contractual position and the relationship with the customer, negotiations with the customer specifically relating to extension of time (EoT) and past experience with the customer. During 2022, liquidated damages amounting to US\$9m (2021: US\$6m) were reversed as an increase to the estimate at completion revenue resulting in an increase of US\$9m to the Group's revenue recognised during the year. No liquidated damages resulting from progress delays associated with the Covid-19 pandemic for the Group's fixed-price EPC contracts were recognised, since management judged these to be excusable delays in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts with customers. Historical LDs incurred and paid have not been significantly different to the estimated value of LDs recognised by the Group. Any unfavourable outcome compared with management's current expectation may affect the revenue to be recognised in future periods and consequently would impact the financial performance and cash flows for future periods. This estimate may impact revenues and contract assets or contract liabilities.
  • Estimate of contract costs at completion: at the end of the reporting period the Group is required to estimate costs at completion on fixed-price EPC contracts, based on the work to be performed beyond the reporting period. This involves an objective evaluation of contract progress against the delivery schedule, evaluation of work to be performed and the associated risks and costs to fully deliver the contract to the customer. On contracts where it is considered probable that contract costs will exceed revenues at contract completion and the costs of fulfilling the

contract are less than the compensation or penalties arising from a failure to fulfil it, the Group recognises an onerous contract provision in accordance with IAS 37 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets' for future losses. At 31 December 2022, the estimated atcompletion contract costs represented management's best estimate of contract costs, including where applicable costs incurred as a result of Covid-19 pandemic-induced delays. In addition, cost reduction measures taken by the Group were also included in the estimated at-completion contract costs. Estimated costs at completion are exposed to a variety of uncertainties as noted above, that depend on the outcome of future events; these individual events make it impracticable to present sensitivity analysis across a larger number of individual contracts. However, the estimates from these contracts, in aggregate, could have a material impact on revenues, cost of sales, contract assets and contract liabilities.

Income tax and deferred tax

• Income tax: Group entities are routinely subject to tax audits and assessments, including processes whereby tax return filings are discussed and agreed with the relevant tax authorities. Whilst the ultimate outcome of such tax audits and discussions cannot be determined with certainty, management estimates the uncertain tax treatments for jurisdictions where there is a probable future outflow, based on the applicable law and regulations, historic outcomes of similar audits and discussions, independent specialist advice and consideration of the progress and nature of current discussions with the tax authority concerned. Where management determines that a greater than 50% probability exists that the tax authorities would accept the position taken in the tax return, amounts are recognised in the consolidated financial statements on that basis. Where the amount of tax payable or recoverable is uncertain, the Group recognises a liability or asset based on either management's judgement of the most likely outcome or, when there is a wide range of possible outcomes, a probability weighted average approach. This requires the application of judgement as to the ultimate outcome, which can change over time depending on emerging facts and circumstances. Provisions are reviewed on an ongoing basis; however, the resolution of tax issues can take a considerable period of time to conclude, and it is possible that amounts ultimately paid will be different from the amounts provided. The carrying amount of uncertain tax treatments (UTTs), recognised within the income tax payable line item of the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2022, was US\$59m (2021 restated: US\$85m). The change in the total uncertain tax position during the year reflects the outcomes of tax audits and certain settlements during 2022. Whilst a range of outcomes is reasonably possible for open uncertain tax items, the Group believes that it has made appropriate provision for periods which are not yet agreed with the tax authorities and hence the sensitivity of this range is likely to be between nil and US\$59m. The potential impact of the OECD Pillar II framework and the new federal corporate tax regime in UAE is covered in more detail in note 8b.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

• Deferred tax assets: the Group recognises deferred tax assets only to the extent it is considered probable that those assets will be recoverable. This involves an assessment of when those assets are likely to reverse, and a judgement as to whether or not there will be sufficient future taxable profits available to offset the assets when they reverse. This requires management to make estimates regarding future profitability and is therefore inherently uncertain. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. As a result, deferred tax assets with a carrying value of US\$17m were derecognised during the year (2021: US\$43m).

Recoverable value of oil and gas assets

• Block PM304 oil and gas asset in Malaysia had a recoverable amount of US\$86m (2021 restated: US\$84m). The recoverable amount, which was based on fair value less cost of disposal, was higher than the asset's carrying amount, resulting in a reversal of impairment charge of US\$6m (2021 restated: impairment charge of US\$33m) in the period (note 6). The Group's fair value less cost of disposal estimate includes an assessment of future field performance, the likelihood of a licence extension beyond 2026 and future oil price assumptions (note 6). The fair value less cost of disposal is sensitive to the length of the licence period but not materially sensitive to the discount rate applied due to the licence end date in 2026. In addition, the cash outflows in respect of the provision for decommissioning (note 27) were based on the remaining licence period.

Fair value of embedded derivative

• The terms of the Revolving Credit Facility provide for the Group to pay a certain proportion of losses incurred by an original lender to facilitate any transfer of its commitment under the facility to another lender. This has been classified as an embedded derivative on initial recognition and subsequently remeasured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at 31 December 2022 was estimated at US\$22m (2021: US\$4m) (Level 2 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement') resulting in a separately disclosed fair value loss of US\$18m in the Corporate reporting segment (note 6). The fair value of the embedded derivative is sensitive to market yields of other debt instruments issued by the Company. Improvement in the Group's credit risk will reduce the financial liability but an adverse change to the Group's credit rating will not materially impact the fair value of the embedded derivative.

Deferred consideration measured at fair value through profit or loss

• Recoverable amount of deferred consideration relating to disposal of the JSD6000 installation vessel (the 'vessel'): the deferred consideration relating to disposal of the vessel in 2018, represents a contractual right to the Group based on 10% of the value of the vessel, is recognised as a non-current asset in the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred consideration was initially

measured and recognised at fair value and is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the deferred consideration accounts for management's recent discussions with the Group's partner in relation to the status of construction of the vessel and is based on the assumption that the Group's partner has the continued intent and the required capabilities to complete the construction and commissioning of the vessel within the due timeframe. The fair value is also subject to change based on changes in the market value of similar specification deep-water vessels. At the end of each reporting period, management reviews its estimate to assess the ability of the Group's partner to complete the construction and commissioning of the vessel and in circumstances that may impair the Group's partner's ability to complete these activities, a fair value loss would be recognised in the consolidated income statement, in the next reporting period or in the longer term. Management reviewed the carrying amount of the deferred consideration associated with the disposal of the vessel and concluded that there was a fair value increase of US\$1m (2021: US\$nil) to a total value of US\$56m. Based on an independent broker's valuation, the fair value of deferred consideration ranges between US\$54m and US\$58m. Changes in the global demand for oil and gas and reduction in oil prices could have an adverse impact on the fair valuation of the vessel that may result in negative fair value changes recognised in the consolidated income statement in future periods.

2.8 Significant accounting policies Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group's principal activity is to design, build, manage and maintain infrastructure for the energy industries. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are 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. The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

The Group provides warranties to customers with assurance that the related product will function as the parties intended because it complies with agreed-upon specifications. The Group does not provide warranties as a service, in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications, in its contracts with customers. As such, the Group concluded that such warranties are assurance-type warranties which will continue to be accounted for under IAS 37 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'.

Engineering & Construction

The Group provides fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction services and reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services to the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry as well as renewable energy industries. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when or as it transfers control over a good or service to a customer.

The services provided under fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts are satisfied over time rather than at a point in time, since the customer controls the works covered by the contract as the relevant asset is being built; the construction activity creates an asset that does not presuppose an alternative use to what it was designed for and the Group is entitled to collect payment for services while construction is underway and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group.

For fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts, the Group measures progress and recognises revenue using the input method. This method is based on the actual cost of work performed, as a percentage of the estimate at completion cost at the end of the reporting period, once the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably. In the early stages of contract completion, when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenues are recognised only to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable.

Fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts contain distinct goods and services, but these are not distinct in the context of the contract and are therefore combined into a single performance obligation. At contract inception management generally considers the following factors to determine whether the contract contains a single performance obligation or multiple performance obligations:

  • Whether it provides a significant service of integrating the goods or services with other goods or services promised in the contract into a bundle of goods or services that represent the combined output or outputs for which the customer has contracted
  • Whether one or more of the goods or services significantly modifies or customises, or are significantly modified or customised by, one or more of the other goods or services promised in the contract
  • Whether the goods or services are highly interdependent or highly interrelated

Contract modifications are generally not distinct from the existing contracts due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue.

Variable consideration, e.g. variation orders (including those pending customer approval), liquidated damages and incentive payments are assessed/reassessed using the following, as appropriate:

  • The expected value approach (i.e. the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts); or
  • The most likely amount method (i.e. the single most likely outcome of the contract, which may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if the contract has only two possible outcomes e.g. the Group either achieves a performance bonus or does not)

Variable consideration is recognised as contract revenue at contract inception and at the end of each reporting period where it is considered highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

In performing the assessment, management considers the likelihood of such variable consideration being received by reference to the contract, anticipated performance on the contract, independent specialist opinions, customer communications, past experience with the customer and other forms of documentary evidence.

Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts and reimbursable contracts are recognised using the input method for measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

An onerous contract provision is recognised where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.

Advance payments received from customers for fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts are structured primarily for reasons other than the provision of finance to the Group (e.g. mobilisation costs), and they do not provide customers with an alternative to pay in arrears. In addition, the length of time between when the customer settles the amount to which the Group has an unconditional right to payment and when the Group transfers goods and services to the customer is relatively short. Therefore, the Group has concluded that there is not a significant financing component within such contracts. Currently, excluding normal retention payments, the Group does not have any contracts where the payment terms extend significantly once the Group has transferred goods and services to the customer.

Asset Solutions

The Group's contracts with customers for the provision of reimbursable engineering and production services include distinct performance obligations based on the assessment that the service is capable of being distinct both individually and within the context of the contract. The services are satisfied over time given that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group and recognised using the input method for measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Variable consideration, e.g. incentive payments and performance bonuses, are estimated at contract inception and at the end of each reporting period using the most likely amount approach, where the outcome is expected to be binary and where it is considered highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognised using the input method, measured by milestones completed or earned value once the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably. In the early stages of contract completion, when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenues are recognised only to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable.

The Group does not generally receive advances from customers for its reimbursable engineering and production services contracts.

Integrated Energy Services equity upstream investments

Revenue from sale of crude oil and gas comprise the Group's share of sales of hydrocarbons from the Group's upstream investments. Revenue is recognised when control has been passed to the buyer, i.e. the last outlet flange of the loading facility from where the goods are transferred to the customer.

Separately disclosed items

Separately disclosed items are individually material or significant irregular items of income and expense which the Directors believe should be separately disclosed in the income statement, to assist in understanding and fairly present the underlying financial performance achieved by the Group, by virtue of their nature or size. These are then summarised in note 6 of the consolidated financial statements, where further explanations and disclosures provide supplementary information to support the understanding of the Group's financial performance. Examples of items which may give rise to disclosure as separately disclosed items include the contribution of impairments of assets, fair value remeasurements, losses on acquisitions and disposals, discontinuation of certain business activities, restructuring and redundancy costs, significant business transformation costs, certain Corporate reporting segment professional services fees, loss on accelerated receipt of deferred consideration, other significant one-off events or transactions and material deferred tax movements arising due to foreign exchange differences in jurisdictions where tax is computed based on the functional currency of the country.

The estimation of uncertain tax positions and their resolution are not routinely classified as separately disclosed items because they arise as part of business performance operations. However, in circumstances where the underlying transaction or event driving a tax gain or loss meets the definition of a separately disclosed item then the related tax gains and losses are also assessed to determine whether classification as a separately disclosed item is appropriate.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an associated expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related

costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

When the Group receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at nominal amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset, based on the pattern of consumption of the benefits of the underlying asset by equal annual instalments.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment charges. Cost comprises the purchase price or construction cost and any costs directly attributable to making that asset capable of operating as intended. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, other than for oil and gas assets. The table below sets out the estimated useful economic life applied to each category of asset:

Oil and gas assets unit of production on a field-by-field basis
(see below)
Oil and gas facilities 8 to 10 years
(or lease term if shorter)
Buildings and leasehold improvements 3 to 20 years
(or lease term if shorter)
Plant and equipment 3 to 7 years
(or lease term if shorter)
Office furniture and equipment 2 to 4 years
(or lease term if shorter)
Vehicles 3 to 5 years
(or lease term if shorter)

Oil and gas assets are depreciated, on a field-by-field basis, using the unit-of-production method based on entitlement to proven and probable reserves, taking account of estimated future development expenditure relating to those reserves.

Each asset's estimated useful economic life, residual value and method of depreciation is reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at the end of the reporting period. No depreciation is charged on land or assets under construction.

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use with any gain or loss included in the other operating income line item in the consolidated income statement when the asset is derecognised.

The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. Refer to note 27 for further information about the decommissioning provision recognised.

In accordance with IFRS 16 'Leases', the Group has elected to present right-of-use assets within the property, plant and equipment line item of the consolidated balance sheet, at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date at which the underlying asset is available for use). The right-of-use assets are presented within the same asset category as that within which the underlying assets would be presented if they were owned. The disaggregated information for right-of-use assets presented within the property, plant and equipment line item of the consolidated balance sheet is disclosed in note 12.

Non-current assets held for sale

The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the consolidated balance sheet.

Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease; that is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets are subject to the same impairment requirements as those applicable to property, plant and equipment; see accounting policies associated with impairment of non-current assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate, defined as the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment, at the lease commencement date.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

The Group's lease liabilities are included in other financial liabilities line items of the consolidated balance sheet; see note 17.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

The Group makes certain judgements in determining the lease term for any contract that is or contains a lease:

  • The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised
  • The Group has the option to renew the lease term for some of its leases. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that affects its ability or likelihood to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew (e.g. a change in business strategy)
  • The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date and whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys the right to use the asset

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its leases of property, plant and equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of property, plant and equipment that are considered of low value (i.e. below US\$5,000). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in cost of sales or selling, general and administration expenses line items of the consolidated income statement.

If the lease contract is cancellable by both lessee and lessor with no or insignificant penalty then the lease contract is considered to be cancellable and recognised as a short-term lease; refer to note 29 for amounts recognised in the consolidated income statement associated with the short-term and low-value asset leases.

Group as a lessor

When the Group acts as a lessor, at lease inception it determines whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sub-lease as two separate contracts. The sub-lease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables equal to the amount of the Group's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group regularly reviews the estimated unguaranteed residual value and applies the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', recognising an allowance for expected credit losses on the lease receivables.

Finance lease income is calculated with reference to the gross carrying amount of the lease receivable, except for credit-impaired financial assets for which interest income is calculated with reference to their amortised cost (i.e. after a deduction of the loss allowance).

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group reassesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cashgenerating unit retained.

Oil and gas intangible assets

Expenditure directly associated with evaluation (or appraisal) activities is capitalised as an intangible oil and gas asset. Such costs include the costs of acquiring an interest, appraisal well drilling costs, payments to contractors and an appropriate share of directly attributable overheads incurred during the evaluation phase. For such appraisal activity, which may require drilling of further wells, costs continue to be recognised as an asset whilst related hydrocarbons are considered capable of commercial development. Such costs are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop, or otherwise extract value. When this is no longer the case, an impairment of the costs capitalised as an intangible is recognised in the consolidated income statement. When such assets are declared part of a commercial development, related costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment. All intangible oil and gas assets are assessed for any impairment prior to transfer and any impairment charge is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Non-oil and gas intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially measured at cost, being their fair values at the date of acquisition, and are recognised separately from goodwill where the asset is separable or arises from a contractual or other legal right and its fair value can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment charges.

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortised over their useful economic life using a straight-line method unless a better method reflecting the pattern in which the asset's future economic benefits are expected to be consumed can be determined. The amortisation charge for intangible assets is included in the cost of sales or selling, general and administration expenses line items of the consolidated income statement. The expected useful lives of assets are reviewed on an annual basis. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Software-as-a-Service arrangements

The Group's current SaaS arrangements are arrangements in which the Group does not control the underlying software used in the arrangement.

Software development costs incurred to configure or customise application software provided under a cloud computing arrangement and associated fees are recognised as operating expenses as and when the services are received where the costs represent a distinct service provided to the Group. When such costs incurred do not provide a distinct service, the costs are recognised as expenses over the duration of the SaaS contract.

The Group capitalises other software costs when the requirements of IAS 38 'Intangible Assets' are satisfied, including configuration and customisation costs which are distinct and within the control of the Group. Such software costs are capitalised and carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment, and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period in which the developed software is expected to be used. Amortisation commences when the development is complete and the asset is available for use and is included in the selling, general and administration expenses line item of the consolidated income statement. The amortisation is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period and any changes are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Impairment of non-current assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to assess whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less costs of disposal is based on the riskadjusted discounted cash flow models. A post-tax discount rate is used in such calculations.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount an impairment charge is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior reporting periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

The CGUs that include goodwill are tested for impairment annually or when impairment triggers have been identified. The Group does not have assets other than goodwill with indefinite useful lives.

Trade receivables

A trade receivable represents the Group's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to the accounting policies for financial assets.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

Contract assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

Fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as follows:

  • For each contract, the revenue recognised at the contract's measure of progress using the input method, after deducting progress payments received or amounts receivable from the customers, is presented within the contract assets line item in the consolidated balance sheet as work in progress
  • The amounts recognised as work in progress are adjusted for any expected credit loss allowance considering the probability of default of the counter party. The probability of default data for the counter party is estimated with input from a third-party provider

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.

Fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as follows:

• Where the payments received or receivable for any contract exceed revenue recognised, the excess is presented within the contract liabilities line item in the consolidated balance sheet as billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings

Fair value measurement

The Group measures financial instruments, such as derivatives, and contingent consideration receivable at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value related disclosures for financial instruments are disclosed in note 17.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
  • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
  • Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

For assets and liabilities that are remeasured in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing 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.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Financial assets and financial liabilities

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.

The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are generally classified in the following categories:

  • Amortised cost
  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Amortised cost

This category is the most relevant to the Group and generally applies to trade and other receivables, receivable from joint operation partners for leases, deferred consideration receivables and advances relating to provision for decommissioning liability. The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Contingent consideration arising from disposal of the Group's operations in Mexico was recognised as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss within the other financial assets line items of the consolidated balance sheet. Any fair value change is recognised in the consolidated income statement (note 17).

The fair value changes to undesignated forward currency contracts are reported within the other operating income and other operating expenses line item in the consolidated income statement.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include, if any, cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

For other financial assets measured at amortised cost, ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). There was no significant increase in the credit risk for such financial assets since the initial recognition.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs (a lifetime ECL). Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. An impairment analysis by each operating segment is performed at each reporting date under the Group's established policies and procedures. Engineering & Construction and Integrated Energy Services operating segments that involve small populations of high-value receivables apply the probability of default data relating to each individual counterparty to calculate expected credit loss allowance at each reporting date. The probability of default data for the counterparty is sourced from a third-party provider.

The Asset Solutions operating segment involves a large population of low-value receivables and applies a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The expected credit loss calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and where possible, forecasts of future economic conditions. The amount of ECLs are sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Group's historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of a customer's actual default in the future.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full. A financial asset is written off only when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows, based on the contractual position agreed with the customer, contract close-out negotiations or objective evidence of the customer's inability to pay.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and trade and other payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, senior secured notes, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, derivative financial instruments and lease liabilities.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in the following categories:

  • Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
  • Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition only if the criteria in IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' are satisfied. Contingent consideration payable related acquisitions is designated as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss (see note 17).

Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)

This category generally applies to trade and other payables (note 28), interest-bearing loans and borrowings (note 26) and lease liabilities (note 17). After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings and lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Amortised cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance expense in the consolidated income statement.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is derecognised where:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired
  • The Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or
  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

If an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender, on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability such that the difference in the respective carrying amounts together with any costs or fees incurred are recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, commodity swaps and interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency values, commodity prices and interest rates. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken to the consolidated income statement.

The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of commodity swap contracts is based on the forward Brent curve and the fair value of the interest rate swaps is based on the forward three-month LIBOR curve.

For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

  • Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; or
  • Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction

The Group formally designates and documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item at the inception of the transaction, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The documentation also includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of risk being hedged and how the Group will assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items.

The treatment of gains and losses arising from revaluing derivatives designated as hedging instruments depends on the nature of the hedging relationship, as follows:

Cash flow hedges

For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income in net unrealised gains/(losses) on derivatives, while the ineffective portion is recognised in the consolidated income statement. Amounts taken to other comprehensive income are transferred to the consolidated income statement when the hedged transaction affects the consolidated income statement.

If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs and affects the consolidated income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the consolidated income statement.

Share-based payments

Employees (including Executive Directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of sharebased payment, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ('equity-settled transactions').

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised in the cost of sales or selling, general and administration expenses line items in the consolidated income statement, together with a corresponding increase in other reserves line item in the consolidated balance sheet, over the period in which the relevant employees become entitled to the award (the 'vesting period'). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at the end of the reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the consolidated income statement for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised from the beginning to the end of the reporting period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Equity awards cancelled, such as in the case of good leavers, are treated as vested immediately on the date of cancellation, and any expense not recognised for the award at that date is immediately recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, if it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the consolidated income statement net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Decommissioning liability

The Group records a provision for decommissioning costs in respect of the Group's obligation for the removal of facilities and restoration of Block PM304 in Malaysia. Decommissioning costs are provided for at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognised as part of the cost of the relevant asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the consolidated income statement as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs, or in the discount rate applied, are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Long-term employment benefits

Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The present value of the obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. The liability is recognised as employee services are received.

Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of current income tax and deferred tax.

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, with the following exceptions:

  • Where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss
  • In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
  • Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that a taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Current and deferred tax is charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income or equity if it relates to items that are credited or charged to, respectively, other comprehensive income or equity. Otherwise, income tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

2.9 Prior year adjustment

The Group has identified errors in previously reported financial information and therefore, the prior year comparatives have been adjusted for the following restatements:

    1. During 2022, the Group undertook a comprehensive review of cumulative capitalised costs associated with the Group's IT digital strategy (previously included within 'other intangible assets' within intangible assets, see note 15) and identified errors associated with these costs, previously capitalised during 2018 to 2020. The nature of these errors included:
  • Operating costs (such as pre-development research costs) incorrectly capitalised as intangible assets
  • Additional costs relating to cloud-based SaaS digital assets which are now treated as operating costs due to the change in Group accounting policy in 2021 following the IFRIC agenda decision
  • Infrastructure-related assets incorrectly classified as intangible assets (and incorrectly depreciated)

The Group has assessed the impact of these errors as material to the Group financial statements and consequently restated the comparative figures included in the 2022 consolidated financial statements. As a result, US\$15m of total costs previously capitalised as intangible assets have now been expensed in the consolidated income statement and a further US\$1m (net book value as at 31 December 2021) reclassified as property, plant and equipment. As the errors related to periods up to 31 December 2020, this restatement has affected the balance sheet and brought forward retained earnings (but not the consolidated income statement or consolidated statement of cash flows), as shown on the table of affected financial statement line items.

  1. The Group reviewed the uncertain tax positions and identified tax releases in various tax jurisdictions amounting to US\$16m that related to developments and events that occurred in 2021 (rather than representing a change in accounting estimate during 2022). As the errors relate to the comparative period, this restatement has affected the consolidated income statement and the consolidated balance sheet (but not the consolidated statement of cash flows), as shown on the table of affected financial statement line items.

    1. The Group reassessed its impairment methodology and identified inconsistencies between the carrying value of Block PM304's assets and liabilities and the associated recoverable amount, which resulted in a mismatch in the impairment analysis. The Group has deemed the impact of this error as material to the Group financial statements and restated the comparative figures included in the 2022 financial statements. As a result, an additional cumulative impairment charge of US\$15m has been recognised as at 31 December 2021 (US\$18m impairment charge in 2021 and a US\$3m reversal of impairment for periods up to 31 December 2020). As the errors related to periods up to 31 December 2020, this restatement has affected the balance sheet and brought forward retained earnings, as shown on the table of affected financial statement line items.
    1. During the year, a review on the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract was conducted by the Group's Internal Audit function as part of its 2022 audit programme. This detected that indications of a material growth in the bills of quantities volumes had been identified during a periodic engineering scope review prior to the approval of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. These should have been evaluated and reflected in the 2021 financial statements. This data was identified and available to the project management team but was not shared with the E&C divisional senior management team, the Group's Executive team nor the Group's external auditors until after the approval of the Group's consolidated financial statements, in contravention of the Group's established policies and procedures. A thorough investigation concluded this reflected poor judgement rather than any intent to mislead.

Whilst these volumes were not fully costed and evaluated until after the Group's 2021 consolidated financial statements had been approved, the indications available prior to signing should have resulted in an adjusting post balance sheet event reflecting an additional pre-tax loss of US\$48m. This represents the total additional cost in respect of these volume increases, as the contract was onerous at this time, as well as an associated impact on revenue as a result of the change in percentage of completion on the contract. The Group has assessed the impact of this error as material to the Group's consolidated financial statements and consequently restated the comparative figures included in the 2022 financial statements. This restatement affected the consolidated income statement, the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of cash flows, as shown on the table of affected financial statement line items.

Given the passage of time and the nature of these cost estimates, it is impracticable to retrospectively determine what costs were known about at the end of December 2020 and so, in accordance with IAS 8, the prior year adjustment has been recorded in 2021.

As a result of the above restatement, the Group would have required a waiver in respect of its debt facilities' financial covenants as at 31 December 2021 and accordingly, the 2021 balance sheet has been restated to present the external borrowings as current liabilities.

  1. Additionally, during the year, the FRC's Corporate Reporting Review Team (CRRT) reviewed the Group's 2021 financial statements. Following this review, the Group reassessed the accounting in respect of certain leases entered into by the Group on behalf of joint operation partners and concluded that the lease payments made to the lessor should be presented separately from the associated sublease payments received from the joint operation partners. As a result, the Group restated the presentation of

finance lease income and finance lease expense in the consolidated income statement and the associated cash flows related to lease receivables and lease payments (including interest received and interest paid) in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The change did not have an impact on consolidated net profit, consolidated net change in cash and cash equivalents nor the consolidated balance sheet.

The FRC has confirmed that the matter is now closed. The Group recognises that the FRC's review was based on the Group's Annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 and did not benefit from detailed knowledge of the Company's business or an understanding of the underlying transactions entered into. The FRC's role is not to verify the information provided but to consider compliance with reporting requirements. Therefore, given the scope and inherent limitations of their review, it would not be appropriate for the Company or any third party, including but not limited to investors and shareholders, to infer any assurance from the FRC's review that the Company's 2021 Annual report and accounts was correct in all material respects.

4 Segment information

The Group organisational structure comprises the following three operating segments:

  • Engineering & Construction, which provides fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contract execution services and reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services to the onshore and offshore energy industries
  • Asset Solutions, which mainly includes reimbursable engineering and production services activities to the oil and gas industry
  • Integrated Energy Services, which is focused on delivering value from the existing asset portfolio

The Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODMs) have been identified as the Group's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The CODMs regularly review the performance of the operating segments to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess financial performance. Finance expense and income arising from borrowings and cash balances, which are not directly attributable to individual operating segments, are allocated to Corporate. The software cost associated with configuration or customisation services are centralised activities not monitored at the segment level, and thus have been allocated to the Corporate segment. In addition, certain shareholder services-related costs, intra-group financing and consolidation adjustments are managed at Corporate and are not allocated to operating segments.

The Group's financial performance presented below also separately identifies the effect of separately disclosed items to provide users of the consolidated financial statements with a clear and consistent presentation of the underlying business performance of the Group; refer to notes 2, 6 and appendix A for details. Consequently, the CODMs assess the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of business performance operating profit and profit after tax, excluding the effect of separately identified items.

The following tables represent revenue and profit/(loss) information relating to the Group's operating segments for the years ended 31 December 2022 and restated 31 December 2021.

Reversal of impairment of assets

At 31 December 2022, internal and external indicators of impairment reversal existed, predominantly due to the volatility in global oil prices. Consequently, the Group performed an impairment review of the carrying value amount of its Block PM304 oil and gas assets on a fair value less cost of disposal basis (Level 3 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement') using a post-tax discount rate of 10.0% (2021: 9.5%). This review involved assessing the field operational performance, oil price and licence extension assumptions. This assessment resulted in an impairment reversal of US\$6m (2021 restated: impairment charge of US\$33m) allocated to property, plant and equipment in the Integrated Energy Services operating segment. Additionally, during the prior year, an associated impairment of US\$43m was recognised against the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset.

The average oil price assumptions used by management were US\$85 per barrel for 2023, US\$80 per barrel for 2024 and US\$75 per barrel for the remaining period of the assessment (2021: US\$70 per barrel for 2022 and 2023, US\$65 per barrel for 2024 and US\$60 per barrel for the remaining period of the assessment). The oil price assumption and the likelihood of a licence extension beyond 2026 were the most sensitive inputs in determining the fair value less cost of disposal and an increase in the assessed likelihood of an extension beyond 2026 would increase the recoverable value; a 10% decrease in oil prices would result in an additional impairment charge of US\$31m and a 10% increase in oil prices would result in a decrease in impairment charge of US\$31m.

Fair value less costs of disposal is determined by discounting the post-tax cash flows expected to be generated from oil and gas production net of disposal costs considering assumptions that market participants would typically use in estimating fair values. Post-tax cash flows are derived from the projected production profiles for each asset considering forward market commodity prices over the relevant period which informs the Group's Board-approved business planning assumptions. As each field has different reservoir characteristics and contractual terms, the post-tax cash flows for each asset are calculated using individual economic models, which include assumptions around the amount of recoverable reserves, production costs, life of the field/licence period and the selling price of the commodities produced.

Impairment of assets

In the current year, management identified impairment indicators for one of the Group's operations in the United Kingdom and as a result reviewed the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment including right-of-use assets relating to that subsidiary using the value-in-use basis. The value-in-use was calculated using the latest approved cash flow forecasts for the years to 2024 and no increase in cash flows for the period 2025 and beyond. This review resulted in an impairment charge of US\$1m in the Asset Solutions operating segment (2021: US\$2m) relating to the right-ofuse asset associated with a facility in the UK.

Fair value remeasurements

During 2022, the Group reached an agreement in respect of the contingent consideration receivable arising from the 2020 disposal of the Group's operations in Mexico and received a final settlement amounting to US\$47m, of which US\$46m was allocated to the contingent consideration receivable (with the remaining US\$1m allocated to other receivables). As a result, the Group recognised a fair value gain of US\$10m in the Integrated Energy Services operating segment (2021: US\$5m downward fair value adjustment following management's reassessment of the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable).

Additionally, management reviewed the carrying amount of the contingent consideration payable associated with the acquisition of W&W Energy Services Inc (W&W) using the latest approved business plan. This resulted in a negative fair value adjustment of US\$1m (2021: US\$3m) being recognised in the Asset Solutions operating segment, after using an expected value pay-out approach applying a discount rate of 16.0% (2021: 15.2%) (Level 3 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement').

Also, management reviewed the carrying amount of the deferred consideration associated with the disposal of JSD6000 installation vessel (the 'vessel') that was recognised as a non-current asset in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the deferred consideration took into consideration, amongst other factors, an independent broker's valuation of the vessel (a Level 3 measurement of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'). An upward fair value adjustment of US\$1m (2021: US\$nil) was recognised as a separately disclosed item in the Engineering & Construction operating segment which increased the deferred consideration to US\$56m at the end of the reporting period (2021: US\$55m). Based on an independent broker's valuation, the fair value of deferred consideration ranges between US\$54m and US\$58m.

Software implementation costs

Following IFRIC's agenda decision published in April 2021, the Group has revised its accounting policy regarding the customisation and configuration costs incurred when implementing a SaaS arrangement. The Group is currently undertaking a major systems implementation for a new cloud computing software, resulting in costs of US\$10m being recognised as an expense in the current year (2021: US\$12m). The first two phases of the implementation have been successfully completed.

Due to the size, nature and incidence of these costs, they are presented as a separately disclosed item, as they are not reflective of underlying performance. Additionally, as this is a large and complex implementation, it is expected that it will be completed over the next couple of years.

Restructuring and redundancy costs

In response to the reduced level of new orders recorded in the year, further cost reduction measures were taken by management which resulted in redundancy costs of US\$2m recognised in the Engineering & Construction operating segment, US\$1m in the Asset Solutions operating segment and US\$1m in the Corporate reporting segment (2021: US\$1m in each of the Engineering & Construction and Corporate reporting segments).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

UK Serious Fraud Office proceedings

Following the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation launched in 2017, the Company reached a plea agreement with the SFO in September 2021. As a result, on 4 October 2021 the Southwark Crown Court ordered the Company to pay a penalty and costs of £77m and these amounts were paid during 2022.

Other separately disclosed items

During 2022, the Group collected US\$12m of the deferred consideration due from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd and also sold the remaining receivable with a carrying value of US\$43m, for US\$40m, resulting in a loss of US\$3m in the Integrated Energy Services operating segment (note 17).

Additionally, the Group incurred a further US\$5m of professional services fees relating to the Corporate reporting segment (2021: US\$10m).

In the prior year, other separately disclosed items included a loss on disposal of US\$4m in the Asset Solutions operating segment that related to the disposal of the Group's survival and marine, health and safety, fire and major emergency management capability, and facilities in Scotland.

Separately disclosed finance expense

The terms of the Revolving Credit Facility provides for the Group to pay a certain proportion of losses incurred by an original lender to facilitate any transfer of its commitment under the facility to another lender. This has been classified as an embedded derivative on initial recognition and re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at 31 December 2022 was estimated at US\$22m (2021: US\$4m) (Level 2 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement') resulting in a fair value loss of US\$18m in the Corporate reporting segment. The fair value of the embedded derivative is based on the market yields of other debt instruments issued by the Group. Improvement in the Group's credit risk will reduce the financial liability but an adverse change to the Group's credit rating will not materially impact the fair value of the embedded derivative.

During the prior year, a capital raise (note 22) and comprehensive refinancing were completed to extend Petrofac's debt maturities and to create a long-term capital structure. Costs of US\$28m were incurred in the prior period which were integral to the execution of the refinancing but were not directly attributable to the secured facilities.

Group borrowing costs have increased during 2022 following the debt refinancing exercise completed in October 2021. The increase in borrowing costs is attributable to a full year of borrowing costs in relation to the senior secured notes compared to only two months in the prior year in addition to the increase in market interest rates during the year, impacting the interest cost in respect of floating rate term loans and the RCF facility.

The split of the Group's income tax expense between current and deferred tax varies from year to year depending largely on:

  • the variance between tax provided on the percentage of completion of contracts compared to that paid on accrued income for fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction contracts; and
  • the tax deductions available for expenditure on Production Sharing Contracts ("PSCs") which are partially offset by the creation of losses

See note 8c below for the impact on the movements in the year.

b. Reconciliation of income tax expense

A reconciliation between income tax expense and the product of accounting profit multiplied by the Company's domestic tax rate is as follows:

(2) The weighted average statutory tax rate was positive 1.2% (2021 restated: 27.1%). Compared with 2021, the rate in 2022 was lower due to losses incurred in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates such as the UAE, resulting in a lower weighted average statutory tax rate compared with 2021. The weighted average tax rate applicable to business performance and separately disclosed items are different as they are impacted by the tax rate associated with the jurisdictions in which the profits were earned.

(3) The prior year balance relates to the substantive enactment of the increase in the UK corporation tax rate from 19% to 25%, effective 1 April 2023.

(4) The prior year numbers are restated; see note 2.9.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

The Group's effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2022 was negative 5.0% (2021 restated: positive 5.1%). The Group's effective tax rate excluding the impact of impairments, remeasurements and other separately disclosed items for the year ended 31 December 2022 was negative 5.1% (2021 restated: >100%).

The adjustments in respect of previous years of \$20m largely relates to the release of uncertain tax treatment items as the final outcome on certain issues was agreed with the tax authorities during the year or the statute of limitations for audit by the tax authorities expired without challenge.

The Group's future tax charge will be sensitive to the levels and mix of profitability in different jurisdictions, tax rates imposed and any future tax regime reforms. The UK Government has enacted legislation to increase the main rate of corporation tax to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023. In addition, the future tax charge is likely to be affected by the OECD Pillar II framework and subsequent domestic legislation changes to introduce a global minimum tax rate for large multinationals which will, as currently proposed, apply to the Group for the year ending 31 December 2024. The Group has reviewed the published OECD model rules and guidance along with the new federal corporate tax regime in the UAE, effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 June 2023, which sets out the framework for how corporate taxation will operate in UAE. The proposals are complex and there remains uncertainty about the final form of the rules in all countries. Accordingly, the potential impact cannot yet be reliably estimated. The Group is continuing to monitor legislative developments and will determine their potential impact on the Group's effective tax rate and tax compliance obligations when the relevant legislation is finalised.

c. Deferred tax

Deferred tax relates to the following:

(1) Relates to differences associated with the allocation of contract revenue and contract costs to accounting periods in which work is performed between IFRS and local GAAP treatments.

The presentation in the balance sheet takes into consideration the offsetting of deferred tax assets and liabilities within the same tax jurisdiction, where this is permitted. The overall deferred tax position in a particular tax jurisdiction determines if a deferred tax balance related to that jurisdiction is presented within deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. The following is an analysis of the deferred tax balances (after their offsetting) for financial reporting purposes:

Deferred tax liabilities 28 29 (1) (9)

The Group recognises deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will arise, against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and credits carried forward can be utilised. In evaluating whether it is probable that taxable profits will be earned in future accounting periods all available evidence was considered, including Board approved business plans and, in some cases, analysis of past operating results. These forecasts are consistent with those used for both the going concern and viability assessment and impairment testing purposes. Following this evaluation in 2022, it was determined that there had been a change in the geographical split of profits across the Group and therefore there would be insufficient taxable income generated in the UK to realise the benefit of deferred tax assets previously recognised. The write-off of previously recognised deferred tax assets in note 8b therefore relates to the UK.

Assessing the availability of future taxable profits to support the recognition of deferred tax assets is considered a key judgement and changes in Group forecasts will impact the recoverability of deferred tax assets. To the extent that there are insufficient taxable profits, no deferred tax asset is recognised, and details of unrecognised deferred tax assets are included below.

Deferred tax liabilities of US\$0.2m (2021: US\$0.3m) were not recognised on temporary differences that related to unremitted earnings of the overseas subsidiaries as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of these temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Unrecognised taxable temporary differences associated with undistributed retained earnings of investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures amounted to US\$5m (2021: US\$5m).

d. Unrecognised tax losses and tax credits

Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax loss carry forwards and tax credits to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit through offset against future taxable profits is probable. The Group did not recognise deferred income tax assets on tax losses and tax credits of US\$1,670m (2021: US\$1,458m).

9 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable for the year to Petrofac Limited shareholders, after adjusting for any dilutive effect, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for the effects of ordinary shares granted under the share-based payment plans which are held in the Employee Benefit Trust.

10 Dividends paid and proposed

No dividends were paid or proposed during the year (2021: nil).

11 Deferred consideration

The deferred consideration associated with the disposal of the JSD6000 installation vessel (the 'vessel') was recognised as a non-current asset in the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred consideration is measured at fair value, with any fair value gain and loss recognised in the consolidated income statement. The fair value of the deferred consideration took into account, amongst other factors, an independent broker's valuation of the vessel (a Level 3 measurement of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'). The fair value of deferred consideration was US\$56m at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$55m) (note 6).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Additions

Additions to oil and gas assets and facilities in the Integrated Energy Services operating segment comprised US\$26m relating to Block PM304 in Malaysia (2021: US\$66m) including a US\$7m increase in the Group's share of the joint operation's oil and gas assets following the exit of one of the joint operation partners. Additions to land, buildings and leasehold improvements of US\$12m (2021: US\$3m) mainly comprised right-of-use asset additions of US\$8m in the Engineering & Construction operating segment.

Depreciation and impairment

The depreciation charge in the consolidated income statement is split between US\$67m (2021: US\$56m) in cost of sales and US\$7m (2021 restated: US\$7m) in selling, general and administration expenses.

During 2022, the Group reassessed its estimate of recoverable value and reversed US\$6m of the initially recognised impairment in relation to its Block PM304 oil and gas assets and facilities on a fair value less cost of disposal basis (Level 3 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'). The impairment loss has been recorded as separately disclosed items (note 6) and allocated to property, plant and equipment.

Additionally, property, plant and equipment including right-of-use assets relating to the Group's operations in the UK were impaired using the value-in-use basis resulting in an impairment charge of US\$1m recorded as separately disclosed items (note 6) in the Asset Solutions operating segment (2021: US\$2m) relating to a right-of-use asset.

Disposals

The disposal, predominantly within land, buildings and leasehold improvements and plant and equipment, having a net carrying amount of US\$nil (2021: US\$11m), related to the write-off of unused fully depreciated assets in the Engineering & Construction operating segment.

Prior year restatement

As detailed in note 2.9, during 2022, the Group undertook a comprehensive review of cumulative capitalised costs associated with the Group's IT digital strategy (previously included within 'other intangible assets' within intangible assets, note 15) and identified errors associated with these costs, previously capitalised during 2018 to 2020.

Therefore, in accordance with IAS 8, costs related to IT infrastructure assets that had been incorrectly classified as intangible assets have been reclassified as 'office furniture and equipment' and reflected in the comparative information for the periods shown above. This totalled US\$3m of cumulative additions as at 31 December 2020 with an associated cumulative depreciation charge of US\$1m as at 31 December 2020 and US\$2m as at 31 December 2021.

In addition, inconsistencies between the carrying value of Block PM304's assets and liabilities and the associated recoverable amount were identified, as stated in note 2.9, which resulted in an additional impairment charge of US\$15m being recognised as at 31 December 2021 (US\$18m impairment charge in 2021 and a US\$3m reversal of impairment for periods up to 31 December 2020).

There was no impact on the total balance of property, plant and equipment or total assets.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on future financial business plans approved by the Board, based on past performance and its expectation of market developments. The key assumptions within these budgets relate to market share, revenue and the future profit margin achievable, in line with the Group's strategy and targets as set out in the Strategic report. Future budgeted revenue is based on management's knowledge of actual results from prior years and latest forecasts for the current year, along with the existing secured works and management's expectation of the future level of work available within the market sector. In establishing future profit margins, the margins currently being achieved are considered in conjunction with expected inflation rates in each cost category.

Cash flows beyond the business plan three-year period are extrapolated using an estimated growth rate within each segment. The growth rate used is the Group's estimate of the average long-term growth rate for the market sectors in which the CGU operates. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis has been undertaken on each goodwill impairment review, by changing the discount rates, profit margins, growth rates and other variables applicable to each CGU.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

The pre-tax discount rates for each CGU are noted below.

Any continuing impact of Covid-19 has been reflected in the Group's approved business plans for the next three years, with budgeted operating margins updated on a contract-by-contract basis reflecting ongoing standard operating procedures and costs to reflect Government and industry health and safety guidelines.

Engineering & Construction CGU

A pre-tax discount rate of 16.0% (2021: 15.2%) in Engineering & Construction has been applied to the future cash flows, based on an estimate of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of that CGU.

The value in use is based on the business plan cash flows of three years (reflecting the Boardapproved business plan operating margins and working capital cash flows) and assume no growth in cash flows beyond the three-year period for the subsequent two years and these assumptions result in the recoverable value of this CGU being significantly greater than the carrying value of the CGU asset.

The Engineering & Construction CGU is not sensitive to changes in key assumptions and management does not consider that any reasonable possible change in any single assumption would give rise to an impairment of the carrying value of goodwill.

Asset Solutions CGU

A pre-tax discount rate of 16.0% (2021: 15.2%) in Asset Solutions has been applied to the future cash flows, based on an estimate of the WACC of that CGU.

The value in use is based on the business plan cash flows of three years (reflecting the Boardapproved business plan operating margins and working capital cash flows) and assume a subsequent growth rate of 1.3% in cash flows beyond the three-year period for the subsequent two years, and these assumptions result in the recoverable value of this CGU being significantly greater than the carrying value of the CGU asset.

The Asset Solutions CGU is not sensitive to changes in key assumptions and management does not consider that any reasonable possible change in any single assumption would give rise to an impairment of the carrying value of goodwill.

Intangible oil and gas assets

Intangible oil and gas assets represent expenditure directly associated with evaluation or appraisal activities related to Block PM304 in Malaysia.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets mainly comprised customer contracts and digital systems. Such intangible assets are amortised over their estimated economic useful life on a straight-line basis and the related amortisation charges included in cost of sales and selling, general and administration expense line items of the consolidated income statement (notes 5a and 5b). The additions of US\$7m (2021: US\$7m) primarily related to investment in the development and implementation of Groupwide digital systems.

Prior year restatement

As detailed in note 2.9, during 2022, the Group undertook a comprehensive review of cumulative capitalised costs associated with the Group's IT digital strategy (previously included within 'other intangible assets') and identified errors associated with these costs, previously capitalised during 2018 to 2020.

Therefore, in accordance with IAS 8, costs related to IT digital assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset in accordance with the Group accounting policy have now been expensed in the relevant accounting period and reflected in the comparative information for the periods shown above. This totalled US\$17m of cumulative additions as at 31 December 2020 with an associated cumulative amortisation charge of US\$1m as at 31 December 2021.

Receivable from joint operation partners for leases

The current and non-current receivable from the Block PM304 joint operation partners represented 64.7% of the lease liability (2021: 70% except for the MOPU vessel, for which it represented 64.7% of the lease liability). These lease liabilities are recognised at 100% in the consolidated balance sheet. This treatment is necessary to reflect the legal position of the Group as the contracting counterparty for such leases. The Group's 35.3% share of this liability at 31 December 2022, based on the Group's interest in the joint operation, was US\$52m (2021: US\$59m). At 31 December 2022, management concluded that no expected credit loss allowance against the receivable from joint operation partners for leases was necessary, since under the joint operating agreement any default by the joint arrangement partners is fully recoverable through a recourse available to the nondefaulting partner through a transfer or an assignment of the defaulting partner's equity interest.

Deferred consideration receivable from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd

The deferred consideration receivable from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd relating to the disposal of Petrofac GSA Holdings Limited in 2018, was measured at amortised cost using a discount rate of 8.4%. During 2022, the Group received US\$12m of the deferred consideration from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd and also sold the remaining receivable, with a carrying value of US\$43m. Upon sale of the receivable, the Group recognised a loss of US\$3m in the Integrated Energy Services operating segment for the year. The fair value of contingent consideration arising from the disposal of Petrofac GSA Holdings Limited is estimated at US\$nil (2021: US\$nil).

Advances relating to decommissioning provision

Advances relating to decommissioning provision represents advance payments to a regulator for future decommissioning liabilities, relating to the Group's share of joint operation assets in Malaysia. An advance of US\$4m (2021: US\$4m) made during the year was presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows as a cash outflow from investing activities. In addition, the Group's share of these advances increased by US\$6m during 2022 due to the increase in the Group's share of the joint operation following the exit of one of the joint operation partners. The carrying value was adjusted by US\$2m (2021: US\$nil) for foreign currency translation losses.

Contingent consideration arising from the disposal of the Group's operations in Mexico On 30 July 2018, the Group signed an SPA with Perenco to dispose of a 49% non-controlling interest in PNHBV. The disposal was completed on 18 October 2018 and represented a transaction between the equity holders under IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements'.

On 3 November 2020, the Group completed the sale of its remaining 51% ownership interest in PNHBV to Perenco which included contingent consideration of US\$41m recorded at the time of the disposal, which was subsequently remeasured at US\$36m as at 31 December 2021. In April 2022, the Group reached full and final settlement in respect of the contingent consideration receivable arising from the 2020 disposal of the Group's operations in Mexico and received US\$47m, of which US\$46m was allocated to the contingent consideration receivable. As a result, the Group recognised a fair value gain of US\$10m (note 6).

Restricted cash

The Group had outstanding letters of guarantee, including performance, advance payments and bid bonds against which the Group had pledged or restricted cash balances. These guarantees and bonds are all in relation to various customer contracts which generate revenue for the Group and once the related conditions under these guarantees are satisfied, any related cash collateral is released into cash balances. Therefore, as the Group actively uses these advance payment bonds and retention bonds to help manage the working capital of the Group and performance bonds are an essential component of enabling the Group to secure and therefore execute revenue-generating contracts for customers, any movement in the restricted cash balances is recorded within 'operating activities' in the Group's consolidated statement of cash flows.

At 31 December 2022, management reviewed the carrying amount of the contingent consideration payable associated with the acquisition of W&W Energy Services Inc in 2019, in accordance with the pay-out terms. This resulted in a negative fair value adjustment of US\$1m (2021: US\$3m), which was recognised as a separately disclosed item (note 6) in the Asset Solutions operating segment. At the end of the year, the fair value of contingent consideration payable was calculated using the expected value pay-out approach using a discount rate of 16.0% (2021: 15.2%) (Level 3 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'). The fair value represented management's best estimate based on the expected financial performance that will be achieved by W&W, over the remaining evaluation period i.e. 2023. A 10% reduction in financial performance would result in a fair value gain of US\$0.6m.

Fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities
  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
  • Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the consolidated balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable sources where possible, but where such information is not available, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could affect the recognised fair value of financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for material financial instruments:

  • The fair value of long-term interest-bearing loans and borrowings (excluding senior secured notes which are quoted on an active exchange) and receivable from joint operation partners for leases are equivalent to their amortised costs determined as the present value of discounted future cash flows using the effective interest rate.
  • The contingent consideration payable of US\$6m arising from acquisition of W&W Energy Services Inc, calculated using the expected value pay-out approach using a discount rate of 16.0% (Level 3 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'), represented management's best estimate based on the expected financial performance targets that will be achieved by W&W, over the remaining evaluation period.
  • The fair value of the embedded derivative in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility is estimated using option pricing models based on observable market yields on senior notes as the closest comparable debt instruments issued by the Group.
  • The fair value of the deferred consideration arising from the disposal of the JSD6000 installation vessel considered an independent broker's valuation of the vessel (a Level 3 measurement of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement'). The key assumption in respect of the valuation is the market value of comparable vessels.

The increase in trade receivables is mainly due to lower net collections in the Engineering & Construction operating segment compared to the prior year. At 31 December 2022, the Group had an ECL allowance of US\$19m (2021: US\$23m) against an outstanding trade receivable balance of US\$518m (2021: US\$428m). The decrease in receivables from joint operation partners is

At 31 December 2022, the analysis of trade receivables is as follows:

predominantly related to collections from a Block PM304 joint operation partner following their exit from the joint operation.

Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing and credit terms are generally granted to customers on 30-60 days' basis. Trade receivables are reported net of ECL allowance in accordance with IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'.

Advances provided to vendors and subcontractors represent payments made to certain vendors and subcontractors for contracts in progress, that will be adjusted against the future progress billings by the vendors and subcontractors. The decrease in advances provided to vendors and subcontractors of US\$42m was mainly due to utilisation of the advances on two contracts in the Engineering & Construction operating segment.

Receivables from joint operation partners are recoverable amounts from partners on Block PM304 and on consortium contracts in the Engineering & Construction operating segment. An ECL allowance of US\$nil (note 5e) was recognised in respect of receivables from joint operations partners (2021: US\$1m).

An ECL reversal of US\$1m (note 5e) was recorded against other receivables (2021: US\$nil).

All trade and other receivables except 'advances provided to vendors and subcontractors' are expected to be settled in cash. Certain trade and other receivables will be settled in cash using currencies other than the reporting currency of the Group, and will be largely paid in sterling, euros and Kuwaiti dinars.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

The reversal of the ECL provision in respect of retention receivables in the year is predominantly attributable to one customer which had been assessed as impaired in prior years. The ECL provision was reversed following the collection of the remaining overdue balances during the year.

Trade receivables represent the Group's right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

The Group recognised a reversal to ECL allowance on trade receivables and contract assets arising from contracts with customers, included within the expected credit loss allowance line item of the consolidated income statement, amounting to US\$21m for the year ended 31 December 2022 (2021: reversal of ECL allowance of US\$24m).

Revenue recognised during the year from performance obligations satisfied in previous years, resulting from a change in transaction price, amounted to US\$187m (2021: US\$168m).

Cash and cash equivalents included amounts totalling US\$12m (2021: US\$37m) held by the Group undertakings in certain countries whose exchange controls significantly restrict or delay the remittance of these amounts to foreign jurisdictions. Cash and cash equivalents also included US\$203m (2021: US\$305m) in joint operation bank accounts which are generally available to meet the working capital requirements of those joint operations but which can only be made available to the Group for its general corporate use with the agreement of the joint operation partners.

22 Share capital and related reserves

The share capital of the Company as at 31 December was as follows:

At 31 December 2021 519,818,832 10 251 11
Issue of shares to Employee Benefit Trust 1,338,610
At 31 December 2022 521,157,442 10 251 11

The number of shares refers to US\$0.02 ordinary shares, which are issued and fully paid. In total, there are 750,000,000 ordinary shares of US\$0.02 authorised.

All the allotted and issued shares, including those held by the Employee Benefit Trust, were fully paid. The share capital comprises only one class of ordinary shares. The ordinary shares carry a voting right and the right to a dividend.

During 2022, the Company issued 1,338,610 shares to the Employee Benefit Trust, with a nominal value of \$0.02.

On 26 October 2021, the Company announced a proposed issuance of equity by way of a Firm Placing, Placing and Open Offer (together, the 'capital raise'). On completion of the capital raise on 15 November 2021, the Company issued 173,597,412 ordinary shares, including a Firm Placing of 87,119,226 ordinary shares and a Placing and Open Offer of 86,478,186 ordinary shares. Concurrently with the capital raise, the Directors (other than Mr Asfari) subscribed for 308,673 additional shares. This resulted in a total number of new shares of 173,906,085 that were admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange on 15 November 2021.

All of the above shares were issued at £1.15 per share. All new shares issued by way of the capital raise were each issued, fully paid and rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the ordinary shares of the Company in issue prior to the capital raise, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

Share premium: The balance on the share premium account represents the amount received in excess of the nominal value of the ordinary shares adjusted for any associated issuance costs.

Capital redemption reserve: The balance on the capital redemption reserve represents the aggregated nominal value of the ordinary shares repurchased and cancelled.

23 Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) shares

The Petrofac Employee Benefit Trust (the Trust or EBT) was established to facilitate the Group's discretionary share scheme awards made to the employees of the Group. For the purpose of making awards under the Group's share-based payment plans, shares in the Company are purchased and held by the Trust. The Trust issues these shares to the Group employees subject to the satisfaction of any service and performance conditions of each scheme. The Trust is consolidated in the Group's consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements'.

These shares have been classified in the consolidated balance sheet as EBT shares within equity. Shares vested during the year are satisfied with these shares. The movements in total EBT shares are shown below:

2022 2021

(1) All shares purchased in 2022 were at par value of US\$0.02 per share (2021: all shares were purchased via the Open Offer at £1.15 per share).

Shares vested during the year include dividend shares of 91,304 shares (2021: 278,089 shares).

24 Share-based payment plans

Performance Share Plan (PSP)

Under the PSP, share awards are granted to Executive Directors and a restricted number of other senior executives of the Group. The shares vest at the end of three years, subject to continued employment and the achievement of certain pre-defined and independent market and non-market-based performance conditions. The market performance-based element of PSP awards is 50% (2021: 50%) dependent on the TSR of the Group compared with an index composed of selected relevant companies. The fair value of the shares vesting under this portion of the award is determined by an independent valuer using a Monte Carlo simulation model taking into account the terms and conditions of the plan rules and using the following assumptions at the date of grant:

Fair value of TSR portion 31.8p 43.4p/65.3p 46.7p/58.7p 78.5p 145p 168p 264p

(1) There were two separate grants to other participants in 2022 and to Executive Directors in 2021.

The non-market-based condition governing the vesting of the remaining 50% (2021: 50%) of the PSP awards is subject to achieving certain strategic targets, including Engineering & Construction operating segment net margin, new order intake, return on capital employed, and cash conversion over a three-year period. The fair value of the equity-settled award relating to the non-market-based condition is estimated, based on the quoted closing market price of the Company's ordinary shares at the date of grant with an assumed annual vesting rate built into the calculation over the three-year vesting period of the plan and the estimated vesting rate for the achievement of strategic targets.

Deferred Bonus Share Plan (DBSP)

Under the historical DBSP, selected employees were required to defer a proportion of their annual cash bonus into Company shares ('Invested Shares'). Following such an award, the Company generally granted the participant an additional award of shares ('Matching Shares') bearing a specified ratio to the number of Invested Shares, typically a 1:1 ratio. Subject to a participant's continued employment, Invested and Matching Share awards vest one-third on the first anniversary of the grant, one-third on the second anniversary and the final proportion on the third anniversary of the grant date.

The DBSP ended in April 2021 and no further awards will be made under this scheme. For historical awards, the costs relating to Matching Shares are recognised over the corresponding vesting period and the fair values of the equity-settled Matching Shares granted to employees is based on the quoted closing market price at the date of grant with the charge to the consolidated income statement adjusted to reflect the expected vesting rate of the plan.

Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP)

Under the DBP, selected employees are required to defer a proportion of their annual cash bonus into Company shares (DBP shares). Subject to a participant's continued employment, DBP share awards vest one-third on the first anniversary of the grant, one-third on the second anniversary and the final proportion on the third anniversary of the grant date. DBP share awards may be allocated on an ad hoc basis at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.

At the end of the reporting period, the value of bonuses to be settled by shares cannot be determined until the Remuneration Committee has approved the portion of the employee bonuses to be settled in shares. Once the portion of the bonus to be settled in shares is determined, the costs relating to DBP Shares are recognised over the corresponding vesting period and the fair values of the equity-settled Shares granted to employees is based on the quoted closing market price at the date of grant with the charge to the consolidated income statement adjusted to reflect the expected vesting rate of the plan.

Share Incentive Plan (SIP)

All UK employees, including UK Executive Directors, are eligible to participate in the SIP. Employees may invest up to £1,800 per tax year of gross salary (or, if lower, 10% of salary) to purchase ordinary shares in the Company. There is no holding period for these shares.

Restricted Share Plan (RSP)

Selected employees are allocated grants of shares on an ad hoc basis. The RSP is primarily, but not exclusively, used to make awards to individuals who join the Group part way through the year, having left accrued benefits with a previous employer. The fair values of the awards granted under the RSP at various grant dates during the year are based on the quoted market price at the date of grant adjusted for an assumed vesting rate over the relevant vesting period.

The portion of gains or losses on cash flow hedging instruments that are determined to be effective hedges is included within this reserve net of related deferred tax effects. During 2022 a fair value gain of US\$6m (2021: loss of US\$1m) was recognised within equity. When the hedged transaction occurs or is no longer forecast to occur, the gain or loss is transferred from equity to the consolidated income statement. Net losses of US\$nil (2021: US\$0.7m) relating to foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were recognised in the cost of sales line item in the consolidated income statement. Additionally, a net loss of US\$7m relating to commodity swaps was recognised in revenue in the consolidated income statement.

The forward currency margin element and portion of derivative financial instruments relating to forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges amounting to US\$nil (2021: gain of US\$3m) were recognised in the cost of sales line item in the consolidated income statement.

Foreign currency translation reserve

The assets and liabilities of entities which have a non-United States dollar functional currency are translated into the Group's reporting currency, United States dollar, at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The foreign currency differences arising on the translation are recognised in other reserves in equity.

(1) The prior year numbers are restated; see note 2.9.

Following the capital raise (note 22) and refinancing completed in 2021, the Group successfully completed an amendment and extension to its existing bank debt facilities in April 2023 with the RCF and term loans now maturing in October 2024.

However, as this amendment and extension (including a waiver of the financial covenant testing date of 31 December 2022) was completed after the year end and therefore the Group did not have an unconditional right to defer repayment of these facilities for greater than 12 months as at the balance sheet date, the borrowings have been disclosed as current in the balance sheet.

The Group therefore now has facilities consisting of US\$600m 9.75% senior secured notes (due 2026), a US\$162m revolving credit facility (RCF), a US\$45m (denominated as AED167m) bilateral loan facility and a US\$45m bilateral loan facility. All facilities are for general corporate purposes.

Details of the Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings are as follows:

Senior secured notes

In November 2021, the Group issued US\$600m of 9.75% senior secured notes, due November 2026. These are listed on the International Stock Exchange and were issued at a 0.97% discount to the nominal value, resulting in a total 10.0% yield to maturity for the purchasers of the notes. The notes were issued with a rating of BB- from both S&P and Fitch.

The interest coupon is payable semi-annually in arrears and the Company has a call option to redeem the notes with a first call date of November 2023, with a make-whole premium of 4.88%/2.44% from November 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Revolving credit facility

The Group had a US\$180m committed RCF at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$180m) with a syndicate of international banks. On signing the extension, the facility was reduced to US\$162m. It will amortise in steps over the remaining tenor and is scheduled to mature in October 2024. At 31 December 2022, US\$117m was drawn under this facility, net of \$7m of unamortised deferred acquisition costs (2021: US\$95m). Interest is payable on the drawn balance of the facility and in addition, utilisation fees are payable depending on the level of utilisation.

The Group has agreed to pay a certain proportion of losses incurred by the original lenders to facilitate any transfer of their commitment under the facility to another lender. This has been classified as an embedded derivative on initial recognition and remeasured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at 31 December 2022 was estimated at US\$22m (2021: US\$4m) (Level 2 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement') as disclosed in note 6.

Term loans

At 31 December 2022, the Group had in place two bilateral term loans with a combined (and drawn) total of US\$99m, net of US\$1m of unamortised debt acquisition costs (2021: US\$99m). On signing the extension, the facilities were reduced to a total of US\$90m (US\$45m each), with both facilities amortising in steps over the remaining tenor to October 2024.

Bank overdrafts

Bank overdrafts are utilised to meet the Group's working capital requirements. These are repayable on demand.

Compliance with covenants

The financial covenants applicable for the period to 31 December 2022 were:

  • Leverage financial covenant: shall not exceed a ratio of 4.5:1 throughout 2022; and
  • Interest cover financial covenant: shall not be less than a ratio of 1.75:1 at 31 March 2022, if tested at this date, 1.50:1 at 30 June 2022, 1.0:1 at 30 September 2022, if tested at this date and 1.75:1 thereafter.

The newly amended and extended RCF and term loans (together, the 'Senior Loans') are subject to two financial covenants relating to minimum liquidity and minimum EBITDA. These replace the financial covenants that were previously in place for periods up to and including 31 December 2022.

The financial covenants are as follows:

  • Liquidity (excluding cash held in joint operations) shall exceed US\$75m at each month end.
  • EBITDA shall exceed a balance specified for each testing period, which for 2023 is the period commencing on 1 January 2023 and ending on the relevant calendar quarter end and thereafter is the 12 month period ending on the relevant calendar quarter end.

The Group was compliant with its covenants throughout the period to 30 September 2022 and received a waiver for the financial covenant testing date of 31 December 2022 as part of the facilities amendment and extension noted above. As the waiver for the Senior Loans was received post year end, as part of the amendment and extension in early 2023, the Senior Secured Notes were reclassified as current loans and borrowings in the balance sheet at 31 December 2022.

As explained in note 2.9, the Group restated comparative financial information with respect to the Thai Oil Clean Fuels contract. As a result of this restatement, the Group would have required a waiver in respect of its debt facilities' financial covenants as at 31 December 2021 and accordingly, the 2021 balance sheet has been restated to present these external borrowings as current liabilities.

Both the Senior Loans and the Senior Secured Notes are secured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with each other.

Other long-term employment benefits provision

Labour laws in the Middle East require employers to provide for other long-term employment benefits. These benefits are payable to employees on being transferred to another jurisdiction or on cessation of employment based on their final salary and number of years' service. All amounts are unfunded. The long-term employment benefits provision is based on an independent specialist's valuation model, with the key underlying assumptions being as follows:

Senior
employees
Other
employees
Average annual % salary increases 2% 2%
Discount factor 5% 2%

Discount factor used represents the yield on US high-quality corporate bonds, with a duration corresponding to that of the liability at the end of the reporting period. The weighted average duration of the long-term employment benefit obligations is five years (2021: five years).

Provision for decommissioning

The decommissioning provision at the end of the reporting period relates to the Group's obligation for the removal of facilities and restoration of Block PM304 in Malaysia. The liability is discounted at a rate of 3.9% on Block PM304 (2021: 1.3%). The Group had paid US\$40m as advances related to the decommissioning liability at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: US\$32m) as disclosed in note 17.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the finance expense (note 7) line item of the consolidated income statement. The Group estimates that the cash outflows associated with this provision will take place in 2026. In addition, the Group's decommissioning provision increased by US\$8m during 2022 due to the increase in the Group's share of the joint operation following the exit of one of the joint operation partners.

Other provisions

The other provisions carrying amount at 31 December 2022 mainly represents technical insurance provisions and IBNR reserves of US\$6m (2021: US\$9m) in respect of the Group's captive insurance company, Jermyn Insurance Company Limited.

Onerous contract provisions

Where it is determined that the unavoidable costs under a contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, the Group recognises a provision to represent the lower of the expected future losses from fulfilling the contract and any compensation or penalties arising from a failure to fulfil it. The amount of US\$269m provided during the year related to contracts in the Engineering & Construction operating segment (2021 restated: US\$110m).

Other provisions

The other provisions carrying amount as at 31 December 2022 includes provisions for dilapidations costs and litigations against the Group. US\$1m provided during the year (2021: US\$1m) related to contracts in the Asset Solutions operating segment.

The decrease in trade and other payables of US\$225m is mainly due to the payment of the SFO court penalty during the year and a reduction in trade payables due to higher payments during the year and a reduction in the overall decline in the business leading to lower supplier and sub-contractor costs.

Accrued expenses primarily represent contract cost accruals relating to the Asset Solutions operating segment and non-contract cost accruals for the other operating segments.

Certain trade and other payables will be settled in currencies other than the reporting currency of the Group, mainly in sterling, euros and Kuwaiti dinars.

29 Leases

Group as lessee

The Group has lease contracts for various items of property, plant and equipment. The Group's obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor's title to the leased assets. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets.

The Group also has certain leases of office buildings with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the 'short-term lease' and 'lease of low-value assets' recognition exemptions for these leases.

a. Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets, within the property, plant and equipment line item of the consolidated balance sheet, at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date at which the underlying asset is available for use). The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets recognised and the movements during the period are disclosed in note 12.

b. Lease liabilities

The above lease liabilities included US\$146m (2021: US\$186m) of lease liabilities relating to Block PM304 in Malaysia that are presented at 100%, which is necessary to reflect the legal position of the Group as the contracting entity for these leases. The leases relating to Block PM304 in Malaysia associated with oil and gas facilities include a renewal option of up to two years and a purchase option at the end of the lease term.

Group as lessor

As the lead joint operator of Block PM304 in Malaysia, the Group has entered into lease agreements in respect of oil and gas facilities, a MOPU vessel, an office building and vehicles on behalf of the joint operation partners. As the Group is the sole obligor in respect of these leases, the lease liability is recognised at 100% in the Group's consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding sub-lease in respect of the right-of-use assets to the other joint operation partners is also recognised. The sub-lease is classified as a finance lease as the lease term is co-terminus with reference to the right-of-use asset.

During 2022, the Group recognised finance income on the lease receivable of US\$6m (2021: US\$9m). The maturity analysis of the lease receivable, on an undiscounted basis, is presented as follows:

2022
US\$m
2021
US\$m
Within one year 39 40
One to two years 29 34

Three to four years 15 22
Four to five years 16
Total undiscounted lease receivable 104 142
Unearned finance income (10) (15)
Net investment in the lease 94 127

The Group estimates the loss allowance on the finance lease receivables at the end of the year at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL. None of the finance lease receivables at the end of the year are past due. Furthermore, under the associated joint operating agreement any default by the joint operation partners is fully recoverable via recourse available to the non-defaulting partners through a transfer or an assignment of the defaulting partner's equity interest. Therefore, management concluded that no ECL in respect of the receivable from joint operation partners was required at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$nil).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

30 Commitments and contingent liabilities Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Group obtains surety bonds, letters of credit and guarantees, which are contractually required to secure performance, advance payment or in lieu of retentions being withheld. Some of these facilities are secured by issue of corporate guarantees by the Company and its subsidiaries in favour of the issuing banks.

At 31 December 2022, the Group had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, including performance, advance payments and bid bonds of US\$3,009m (2021: US\$3,194m) against which the Group had pledged or restricted cash balances of US\$111m (2021: US\$137m).

At 31 December 2022, the Group had outstanding forward exchange contracts amounting to US\$667m (2021: US\$849m). These commitments consist of future gross obligations either to acquire or to sell designated amounts of foreign currency at agreed rates and value dates (note 33).

Capital commitments

At 31 December 2022, the Group had capital commitments of US\$6m (2021: US\$12m) excluding lease commitments (note 29):

Contingent liabilities

A Group subsidiary is subject to challenges by HMRC on the historical application of National Insurance Contributions (NICs) to workers in the UK Continental Shelf. In October 2020, a decision was issued by HMRC against Petrofac Facilities Management Limited (PFML) in respect of the historic application of NICs. PFML has appealed against the decision and no payment has been made to HMRC pending the outcome of the First-tier Tribunal (Tax). Management, taking into consideration advice from independent legal and tax specialists, believes that it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and accordingly, no provision has been recognised. The maximum potential exposure to PFML in relation to NICs and interest, should it be unsuccessful in defending its position, is approximately £130m, equivalent to US\$156m.

The Group also has a recourse available, in accordance with the contractual indemnity contained in some customer contracts, where it can possibly recover a portion of NICs and interest from its customers in the event the Group is unsuccessful in its appeal. Customers have been notified about HMRC's decision and a possible indemnity claim.

31 Related party transactions

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Petrofac Limited and the subsidiaries listed in note 34. Petrofac Limited is the ultimate parent entity of the Group.

The following table provides the total amount of transactions entered into with related parties:

All sales to and purchases from related parties are conducted on an arm's length basis and are approved by the operating segment's management. All related party balances will be settled in cash.

In May 2017, the Board of Directors approved a donation of up to US\$5m over the course of five years to the American University of Beirut (AUB) to establish the Petrofac Fund for Engineers endowment fund.

However, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the change in economic circumstances, it has been agreed that the Group will instead pay for up to 100 Group employees to attend an AUB full-time course instead of making future donations for engineering scholarships. As part of its new commitment, the Group will pay the cost of the course to AUB and an educational stipend to all attendees. For the year ended 31 December 2022, US\$1m was paid to the AUB (2021: US\$0.4m). One of the Group's Non-executive Directors who is also a significant shareholder of the Company is a trustee of the AUB.

Compensation of key management personnel

The following details remuneration of key management personnel of the Group, comprising Executive and Non-executive Directors of the Company and other senior personnel.

32 Accrued contract expenses

Accrued contract expenses represent contract cost accruals associated with the Group's fixedprice engineering, procurement and construction contracts. This is typically in respect of vendors and subcontractors for these contracts, whereas similar costs in respect of the Group's other contracts (such as cost reimbursable contracts, predominantly in Asset Solutions) are classified as accrued expenses within trade and other payables (note 28). The decrease in accrued contract expenses of US\$39m was mainly due to lower levels of activity on construction contracts during the year in the Engineering & Construction operating segment and overall lower volumes.

33 Risk management and financial instruments Risk management objectives and policies

The Group's principal financial assets and liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise trade and other receivables, other financial assets, cash and short-term deposits, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, and other financial liabilities.

The Group's activities expose it to various financial risks particularly associated with interest rate risk on its variable rate cash and short-term deposits, interest-bearing loans and borrowings and foreign currency risk on conducting business in currencies other than the functional currency, as well as translation of the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to the reporting currency. These risks are managed from time to time by using a combination of various derivative instruments, principally forward currency contracts in accordance with the Group's hedging policies. The Group has a policy not to enter into speculative trading of financial derivatives.

The Board of Directors of the Company has established an Audit Committee which performs, amongst other roles, reviews on the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems to mitigate a range of risks, including financial risks, faced by the Group, which is discussed in detail on page 118.

The other main risks besides interest rate and foreign currency risk arising from the Group's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity price risk; the policies relating to these risks are discussed in detail below:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the payments associated with the Group's interest-bearing financial liabilities and assets.

The Group's exposure to market risk arising from changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term variable rate debt obligations and its cash and short-term deposits. The Group's policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Group's cash and bank balances are at floating rates of interest.

The Group's variable interest-bearing loans and borrowings are primarily denominated in United States dollars, linked to United States dollar LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The Group uses derivatives to swap between fixed and floating rates. At 31 December 2022, the proportion of floating rate debt was 27% of the total financial debt outstanding (2021: 24%).

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The impact on the Group's profit before tax and equity due to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on interest-bearing loans and borrowings at the reporting date is demonstrated in the table below. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases, and translation of assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the functional currency of its operating units. The Group is also exposed to the translation of the functional currencies of its units to the United States dollar reporting currency of the Group.

The Group uses forward currency contracts to manage the currency exposure on transactions significant to its operations. It is the Group's policy not to enter into forward contracts until a highly probable forecast transaction is in place and to negotiate the terms of the derivative instruments used for hedging to match the terms of the hedged item to maximise hedge effectiveness.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The income statements of subsidiaries with non-USD functional currencies are translated into the Group's reporting currency using a weighted average exchange rate. Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate at the reporting date. Revenues and costs in currencies other than the functional currency of an operating unit are recorded at the prevailing rate at the date of the transaction. The following significant exchange rates applied during the year in relation to United States dollars:

2022 2021
Average rate Closing rate Average rate Closing rate

The above foreign exchange contracts mature and will affect profit before tax between January 2023 and November 2023 (2021: between January 2022 and November 2022).

During 2022, net changes in fair value resulting in a gain of US\$2m (2021: loss of US\$1m) relating to these derivative instruments were taken to equity and losses of US\$nil (2021: US\$0.7m) were recycled from equity into cost of sales in the consolidated income statement. The forward points and ineffective portions of the above foreign exchange forward contracts and loss on undesignated derivatives of US\$nil (2021: US\$3m) were recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Commodity price risk – oil prices

The Group is exposed to the impact of changes in oil and gas prices on its revenues and net profit generated from sales of crude oil and gas. The Group's policy is to manage its exposure to the impact of changes in oil and gas prices using derivative instruments. Hedging is only undertaken once sufficiently reliable and regular long-term forecast production data is available.

At 31 December 2022, the Group had commodity swap contracts as follows (no crude oil derivatives were entered into by the Group during 2021 to hedge oil production):

Contract Fair value Net unrealised
value (designated) gain/(loss)
2022 2022 2022
bbl (thousands) US\$m US\$m
Brent Oil swaps 693 3 3

During 2022, net changes in fair value resulting in a gain of US\$3m relating to commodity swap contracts were taken to equity and losses of US\$7m were recycled from equity to revenues in the consolidated income statement.

Credit risk

Business Unit Risk Review Committees (BURRC) evaluate the creditworthiness of each individual third party at the time of entering into new contracts. Limits have been placed on the approval authority of the BURRC above for which the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company is required. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with appropriate follow-up action taken where necessary. At 31 December 2022, the Group's five largest customers accounted for 48% of outstanding trade receivables and contract assets (2021: 49%). The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables and contract assets as low, as its customers are national oil companies and international oil companies.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, current and non-current receivables from joint operation partners for leases and certain derivative instruments, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Liquidity risk

The Group's objective is to ensure sufficient liquidity to support operations and enable future growth. The provision of financial capital and the potential impact on the Group's capital structure is reviewed regularly. The maturity profiles of the Group's financial liabilities, based on the original contractual maturities, at 31 December are as follows:

Appendix A

The Group references Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) when evaluating the Group's reported financial performance, financial position and cash flows that are not defined or specified under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Group considers that these APMs, which are not a substitute for or superior to IFRS measures, provide stakeholders with additional useful information by adjusting for certain reported items which impact upon IFRS measures or, by defining new measures, aid the understanding of the Group's financial performance, financial position and cash flows. These are aligned to measures which are used internally to assess business performance in the Group's processes when determining compensation.

(1) In the normal course of business, the Group issues guarantees and bonds (via banks and sureties) in respect of contract performance, advance payments and retentions, and, in certain limited instances, pledges cash collateral ('restricted cash') against such instruments. Therefore, the definition of the Group's APM for working capital has been amended during the year (and the prior year comparative restated) to include 'restricted cash' (a component of 'other financial assets') as this provides useful information to aid the understanding of the Group's working capital position.

Notes to the Company financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Corporate information

Petrofac Limited (the Company) is a limited liability company registered and domiciled in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and is the holding company for the international group of Petrofac subsidiaries. Petrofac Limited and its subsidiaries at 31 December 2022 comprise the Petrofac Group (the Group). The Group's principal activity is to design, build, manage and maintain infrastructure for the energy industries.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 27 April 2023.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of preparation

The separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and applicable requirements of Jersey law.

The separate financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The functional and presentation currency of these separate financial statements is United States dollars and all values in the separate financial statements are rounded to the nearest million (US\$m) unless otherwise stated.

Adoption of new financial reporting standards, amendments and interpretations Effective new financial reporting amendments

The Company applied for the first time certain amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The following amendments apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have an impact on the Company financial statements:

  • Onerous Contracts Costs of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)
  • Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before intended use Amendments to IAS 16
  • Reference to the Conceptual Framework Amendments to IFRS 3
  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020

Financial reporting standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective

Certain new financial reporting standards, amendments and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 31 December 2022 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Company.

Significant accounting policies Investments in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment.

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its investments in subsidiaries to assess whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less costs of disposal is based on the risk-adjusted discounted cash flow models. A post-tax discount rate is used in such calculations.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount an impairment charge is recognised immediately in the Company income statement.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior reporting periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Company income statement.

Investments in associates

Investments in associates are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment.

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its investments in associates to assess whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less costs of disposal is based on the risk-adjusted discounted cash flow models. A post-tax discount rate is used in such calculations.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount an impairment charge is recognised immediately in the Company income statement.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior reporting periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss.

The Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories:

  • Amortised cost
  • Fair value through profit or loss

Amortised cost

The Company generally applies this category to trade and other receivables, amounts due from Group entities and deferred consideration receivable. The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the Company's income statement when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the Company's balance sheet at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the income statement.

The fair value changes to undesignated derivative contracts are recognised within the other operating income or expenses line item in the Company's income statement.

The fair value of commodity swap contracts is based on the forward Brent curve. All of these derivative contracts have back-to-back contracts with the Group entity on behalf of whom the external derivative contract was entered into by the Company. The Company recognises the derivative asset or liability in relation to a derivative contract with the external counterparty and presents the back-to-back contract with the Group entity within other financial assets or liabilities and amounts due to or from Group entities in the Company balance sheet.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include, if any, cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when available information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as interest-bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, or derivative financial instruments.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of interest-bearing loans and borrowings and trade and other payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, derivative financial instruments, and amounts due to Group entities.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in the following categories:

  • Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
  • Loans and borrowings

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities include derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the income statement.

Notes to the Company financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Loans and borrowings

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings (note 18). After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR amortisation is included as finance expense in the Company income statement.

Amortised cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease; that is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company as a lessee

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its right-of-use assets to assess whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less costs of disposal is based on the risk-adjusted discounted cash flow models. A post-tax discount rate is used in such calculations.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount an impairment charge is recognised immediately in the Company income statement.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior reporting periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Company income statement.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term.

The Company recognises a lease liability for an obligation to acquire a mobile offshore production unit (MOPU) at the end of the lease term for an amount specified in the lease contract. Accordingly, the Company recognises a lease liability equal to the future payment to acquire the unit, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is defined as the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, in a similar environment, at the lease commencement date.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest due and reduced for lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

The Company's lease liabilities are included within the 'other financial liabilities' line item of the Company balance sheet (note 20).

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its leases of property, plant and equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of property, plant and equipment that are considered of low value (i.e. below US\$5,000). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in cost of sales or selling, general and administration expenses line items of the Company income statement.

If the lease contract is cancellable by both lessee and lessor with no or insignificant penalty then the lease contract is considered to be cancellable and recognised as a short-term lease; refer to note 29 for amounts recognised in the Company income statement associated with the short-term and low-value asset leases.

Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) shares

Where the Company purchases its own equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buyback or a share-based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Company as EBT shares, until the shares are cancelled or reissued. EBT shares are treasury shares administered by the Employee Benefit Trust. The shares are either acquired on market or issued by the Company at the grant date and are held as EBT shares until such time as they vest.

Share-based payments

Certain employees of Group entities receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for Company shares or rights over shares ('equity-settled transactions'); see note 24 of the Group's consolidated financial statements. The Company has no employees and thus there is no charge in the Company income statement for share-based payments. The charge for share-based payments has been recognised as an increase in amounts due from Group entities in the Company balance sheet.

Taxation

Profits arising in the Company for the 2022 year of assessment will be subject to Jersey tax at the standard corporate income tax rate of 0% (2021: 0%).

Significant accounting judgements and estimates

Judgements

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

  • ECL allowance on amounts due from Group entities: the Company recognises an allowance for ECLs for amounts due from Group entities based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The expected cash flows will include, if any, cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. In estimating contractual cash flows, the Company takes into account the probability of default of counterparties and the loss given default. The carrying value of amounts due from Group entities was US\$1,708m (2021: US\$1,380m) and an ECL allowance of US\$135m was recognised as at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$76m). A 1%-2% increase in the probability of default would result in an additional ECL allowance of US\$4m-US\$11m.
  • The Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) embedded derivative: the terms of the RCF provides for the Company to pay a certain proportion of losses incurred by an original lender to facilitate any transfer of its commitment under the facility to another lender. This has been classified as an embedded derivative on initial recognition and subsequently remeasured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at 31 December 2022 was estimated at US\$22m (2021: US\$4m) (Level 2 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement') resulting in a fair value loss of US\$18m (note 9). The fair value of the embedded derivative is sensitive to market yields of other debt instruments issued by the Company.

• ECL allowance on purchase of originally credit-impaired financial asset: the Company purchased an originally credit-impaired loan receivable of US\$432m from Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Ltd and recognised the loan receivable at a fair value of US\$94m on initial recognition. The loan receivable was considered credit impaired on purchase as the borrower incurred significant losses which restricted its ability for repayment. The fair value of the originally credit-impaired loan was estimated based on future cash flow projections of Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Ltd, discounted at the credit impaired effective interest rate determined at the date of purchase. Management has assessed that a discount rate of 4.2% is fair market interest rate for a loan with similar terms.

Subsequent to initial recognition, changes in the ECL allowance were recognised based on the lifetime expected cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate resulting in an ECL reversal of US\$51m for the year ended 31 December 2022. Future cash flow projections are based on the approved business plan of Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Ltd.

A 10% change in cash flows would result in a US\$9m change in the carrying value of the loan receivable at 31 December 2022 and a 1% change in the original effective interest rate would result in a US\$2m change in the carrying value of the loan receivable at 31 December 2022.

Other estimates

Recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries: the Company determines at the end of each reporting period whether there is any evidence of indicators of impairment in the carrying amount of its investments in subsidiaries. Where indicators exist, an impairment test is undertaken which requires management to estimate the recoverable amount of its assets, which is based on value-inuse. The value-in-use estimation is based on the output of management's business planning process which involves assumptions relating to, but not limited to, future cash flows, discount rate and inflation. The calculations use future cash flow projections based on approved business plans for three years. Cash flows beyond the three year period are extrapolated using an estimated growth rate of 4% (2021: 5%) for investments in subsidiaries whose operations include contracts which are primarily reimbursable engineering and production services contracts, and no growth rate applied for cash flows in other subsidiaries. The Company determined a pre-tax discount rate of 16.0% as at 31 December 2022 (2021: 15.2%) based on the Company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries was US\$278m (2021: US\$240m). The carrying value is not sensitive to changes in key assumptions and management does not consider that any reasonable possible change in any single assumption would give rise to an impairment of the carrying value of investment in subsidiaries.

Notes to the Company financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Prior year adjustments

  1. During 2022, the Company identified an error within 'investments in subsidiaries' associated with the internal Group disposal of the Company's investment in Petrofac Inc to Petrofac UK Holdings Limited, which took place in late 2020. This transaction was incorrectly omitted from the Company's financial statements in 2020 and 2021.

On 10 December 2020, 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Petrofac Inc was sold to the Company's direct subsidiary, Petrofac UK Holdings Limited, in consideration for 1,000 new ordinary shares of Petrofac UK Holdings Limited. The fair value of the consideration received was determined to be US\$22m (based on the fair value of Petrofac Inc and its subsidiaries at the date of disposal). The carrying value of the investment in Petrofac Inc at the date of disposal was US\$nil. Management identified that the carrying value was understated at that date, primarily driven by an intercompany receivable recognised amounting to US\$20m.

The Company has assessed the impact of this transaction on the Company's financial statements and recognised a reversal of impairment of investment in Petrofac Inc of US\$22m (US\$20m in respect of periods prior to 31 December 2019 and US\$2m in respect of 2020 before the disposal of the investment in Petrofac Inc). This has been recognised as an increase in investment in subsidiaries with a corresponding increase in opening retained earnings as at 1 January 2021. The Company has restated the comparative figures included in these financial statements in accordance with IAS 8.

As a result of the disposal of Petrofac Inc to Petrofac UK Holdings Limited, the investment in Petrofac Inc of US\$22m was derecognised and an additional investment in Petrofac UK Holdings Limited of the same amount was recognised at the date of sale. As the error related to periods prior to 31 December 2020, this restatement has affected the balance sheet and brought forward retained earnings, as shown below.

  1. The Company has reviewed its amounts due from Group entities balances and identified that certain balances relating to loans provided to Group entities are non-current in nature and accordingly, reclassified balances of US\$1,372m and US\$1,021m into non-current assets as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively.

Additionally, during the year, the FRC's Corporate Reporting Review Team (CRRT) reviewed the Group's 2021 Annual report and accounts. Following this review, the Company revisited the presentation of certain items in the Company's statement of cash flows and as a result, has reclassified the following balances:

    1. Cash flows arising from movements in restricted cash balances of US\$61m were presented as working capital adjustments related to 'other financial assets and liabilities' within cash flows generated from operating activities. Upon review, the Company has concluded that in accordance with IAS 7, these balances are 'other investments that are not cash and cash equivalents', and hence they have been reclassified as cash flows generated from investing activities.
    1. Cash flows arising from amounts due from Group entities of US\$335m and amounts due to Group entities of US\$132m were presented as working capital adjustments within cash flows generated from operating activities. Upon review, the Company has concluded that in accordance with IAS 7, these cash flows meet the definition of cash flows generated from investing and financing activities respectively and have therefore been reclassified as follows:
  • US\$360m reclassified as investing activities, consisting of cash outflows of US\$621m related to loans provided to Group entities less cash inflows of US\$232m related to principal repayments received on such loans and US\$29m of interest received from such loans.
  • US\$151m reclassified as financing activities consisting of cash inflows of US\$419m related to loans received from Group entities less cash outflows of US\$267m repayment of loans received from Group entities and US\$1m payment of interest on such loans.
  • US\$6m net other non-cash items consisting of foreign exchange losses of US\$2m on loans provided to Group entities and US\$4m of loans received from Group entities (and adjusted in the reconciliation of loss before tax to cash generated from operations).

Cash flows arising from amounts due from Group entities of US\$335m includes cash inflows of US\$23m with respect to loans received from Group entities.

Amounts due from and due to Group entities relating to general and administrative expense recharges of US\$3m and US\$5m respectively continue to be classified as operating activities in the Company's statement of cash flows.

  1. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company in order to reduce foreign currency risk exposure on the balance sheet position of the Company in respect of amounts due from and due to Group entities and other payables, denominated in various currencies. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. Movements relating to these balances of US\$11m were presented as cash flows generated from operating activities. In accordance with IAS 7, undesignated derivative contracts should be presented in the most appropriate manner for the business. Therefore, upon review, the Company has classified these movements in the same manner as the underlying transaction; derivative contracts placed to reduce foreign currency risk exposure on loans provided to Group entities of US\$2m have been reclassified as cash flows generated from investing activities and derivative contracts placed to reduce foreign currency risk exposure on loans and deposits received from Group entities of US\$3m have been reclassified as cash flows generated from financing activities. Movements in derivative contracts placed to reduce foreign currency risk exposure on other payables and on contracts entered into on behalf of Group entities of US\$2m continue to be classified as operating activities in the Company's statement of cash flows.

The FRC has confirmed that the matter is now closed. The Group recognises that the FRC's review was based on the Group's Annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 and did not benefit from detailed knowledge of the Company's business or an understanding of the underlying transactions entered into. The FRC's role is not to verify the information provided but to consider compliance with reporting requirements. Therefore, given the scope and inherent limitations of their review, it would not be appropriate for the Company or any third party, including but not limited to investors and shareholders, to infer any assurance from the FRC's review that the Company's 2021 Annual report and accounts was correct in all material respects.

During 2022, the Company sold the remaining deferred consideration receivable from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd with a carrying value of US\$43m, for US\$40m, resulting in a loss of US\$3m (note 18).

In the prior year, following the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation launched in 2017, the Company reached a plea agreement with the SFO in September 2021. As a result, on 4 October 2021 the Southwark Crown Court ordered the Company to pay a penalty and costs of £77m and all amounts were paid during 2022 (US\$104m).

Additionally in 2022, the Company incurred a further US\$3m of professional services fees related to the SFO proceedings during the year (2021: US\$10m).

General and administration expenses relate to costs directly incurred by the Company and also the recharged portion of corporate personnel costs, travelling, entertainment and professional costs incurred by one of its subsidiaries but relating to the Company, of US\$17m (2021: US\$14m).

Included in general and administration expenses is the auditor's remuneration of US\$47,000 (2021: US\$41,000) related to the fee for the audit of the Company's financial statements.

Borrowing costs increased during 2022 following the debt refinancing exercise completed in October 2021, and the issuance of the senior secured notes at this time (note 17), with a full year of borrowing costs incurred compared to only two months in the prior year. Additionally, borrowing costs were adversely impacted by the increase in market interest rates during the year, which impacted the interest costs in respect of the term loans and revolving credit facility.

The terms of the RCF provide for the Company to pay a certain proportion of losses incurred by an original lender to facilitate any transfer of its commitment under the facility to another lender. This has been classified as an embedded derivative on initial recognition and subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at 31 December 2022 was estimated at US\$22m (2021: US\$4m) (Level 2 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement') resulting in a fair value loss of US\$18m. The fair value of the embedded derivative is sensitive to market yields of other debt instruments issued by the Company.

10 Dividends paid and proposed

No dividends were paid or proposed in the year.

(1) The prior year numbers are restated in respect of the presentation of movements related to investment in subsidiaries (note 2).

The increase in investment in subsidiaries in the year of US\$38m was due to the difference between the consideration paid for the acquisition of an intercompany loan from one of the Company's subsidiaries and the fair value of that loan (notes 6 and 13).

12 Property, plant and equipment

The property, plant and equipment of US\$16m (2021: US\$16m) is related to the West Desaru mobile offshore production unit (MOPU) for which there is a put option on the Company. In 2014, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with the buyer to dispose of 80% of the shares in PetroFirst Infrastructure Limited (formerly Petrofac FPSO Holdings Limited) that owned the floating platform assets. In accordance with the terms of the SPA, the buyer has an option to put the West Desaru MOPU to the Company; the put option terminates on 31 December 2030.

The lease in respect of the MOPU expires on 30 September 2026. Management expects that the put option associated with the MOPU (with a value of US\$20m) will be payable on the lease expiry (i.e. on 30 September 2026). Accordingly, the Company has recognised a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability associated with the MOPU (note 20). There was no movement in the right-of-use asset during the year.

13 Amounts due from/due to Group entities

Amounts due from/due to Group entities comprise both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing short-term loans provided to and received from Group entities, listed in note 34 of the Group's consolidated financial statements.

The net increase in current and non-current amounts due from Group entities of US\$295m was mainly due to dividends receivable from subsidiaries of the Company of US\$50m, declared in December 2022 and additional funding provided to certain Group entities from the Company, offset by an increase in ECL allowance during the year. The increase in amounts due to Group entities of US\$246m primarily relates to amounts advanced to the Company from Petrofac Treasury UK Ltd.

At the end of each reporting period, the amounts due from Group entities are reported net of ECL allowance in accordance with IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'.

As at 31 December 2022, the Company had the following amounts due from and to Group entities:

On 1 January 2022, the Company purchased a loan due from Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Ltd from its subsidiary Petrofac International (UAE) LLC, for a consideration of US\$132m. The gross amount receivable from Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Ltd under this loan at the date of purchase was US\$432m. The Company determined that the fair value of the loan at the date of purchase was US\$94m. The Company purchased the loan at the book value recognised by its subsidiary at the date purchase. As a result, the Company has recognised the difference between purchase price and fair value of the loan acquired as a capital contribution. The fair value of the loan was determined based on future cash flow projections of Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Ltd, discounted at 4.2% which was assessed to be the fair market interest rate for a loan with similar terms. The difference between the consideration paid and the fair value of the loan (of US\$38m) was recognised as an investment in subsidiary.

As at 31 December 2022, the carrying value of the loan was US\$90m. As a result of improvements in the performance of Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Ltd, based on which any ECL is assessed, the Company recorded a reversal of ECL allowance of US\$51m (note 6).

The movement in this intercompany receivable during the year ended 31 December 2022 was as follows:

Notes to the Company financial statements continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

15 Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) shares

The Petrofac Employee Benefit Trust (the 'Trust') has been established to administer the Group's discretionary share scheme awards made to the employees of the Group. The Trust issues Company shares to the Group's employees on their respective vesting dates subject to satisfying any service and performance conditions of each scheme. The Trust continues to be included in the Company's financial statements.

For the purpose of making awards under the Group's share-based payment plans, shares in the Company are purchased and held by the Trust. These shares have been classified in the balance sheet as EBT shares within equity. Shares vested during the year are satisfied with these shares.

The movements in total EBT shares are shown below:

16 Share-based payments reserve

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the value of equity-settled share-based payments awarded to employees of the Group entities, and transfers out of this reserve are made upon vesting of the original share awards.

(1) As a result of the prior year adjustments included in note 2.9 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company would have required a waiver in respect of the financial covenants as at 31 December 2021, and therefore has restated the debt facilities as 'current' at that date.

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings as at 31 December 2022 is presented net of debt acquisition costs of US\$25m (2021: US\$28m).

Following the capital raise (note 22) and refinancing completed in 2021, the Company successfully completed an amendment and extension to its existing bank debt facilities in April 2023, with the RCF and the term loans now maturing in October 2024.

However, as this amendment and extension (including a waiver of the financial covenant testing date of 31 December 2022) was completed after the year end and therefore the Company did not have an unconditional right to defer repayment of these facilities for greater than 12 months as at the balance sheet date, the borrowings have been disclosed as current in the balance sheet.

The Company therefore now has facilities consisting of US\$600m of 9.75% senior secured notes (due 2026), a US\$162m revolving credit facility (RCF), a US\$45m (denominated as AED167m) bilateral facility and a US\$45m bilateral loan facility. All facilities are for general corporate purposes.

Details of the Company's interest-bearing loans and borrowings are as follows:

Senior secured notes

In November 2021, the Company issued US\$600m of 9.75% senior secured notes, due November 2026. These are listed on the International Stock Exchange and were issued at a 0.97% discount to the nominal value, resulting in a total 10.0% yield to maturity for the purchasers of the notes. The notes were issued with a rating of BB- from both S&P and Fitch.

The interest coupon is payable semi-annually in arrears and the Company has a call option to redeem the notes with a first call date of November 2023, with a make-whole premium of 4.88%/2.44% from November 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Revolving credit facility

The Company had a US\$180m committed RCF at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$180m) with a syndicate of international banks. On signing the extension, the facility was reduced to US\$162m. It will amortise in steps over the remaining tenor and is scheduled to mature in October 2024. At 31 December 2022, US\$117m was drawn under this facility, net of \$7m of unamortised deferred acquisition costs (2021: US\$95m). Interest is payable on the drawn balance of the facility, and in addition, utilisation fees are payable depending on the level of utilisation.

The Company has agreed to pay a certain proportion of losses incurred by the original lenders to facilitate any transfer of their commitment under the facility to another lender. This has been classified as an embedded derivative on initial recognition and remeasured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the embedded derivative as at 31 December 2022 was estimated at US\$22m (2021: US\$4m) (Level 2 of the 'fair value hierarchy' contained within IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement').

Term loans

At 31 December 2022, the Company had in place two bilateral term loans with a combined (and drawn) total of US\$99m, net of US\$1m of unamortised debt acquisition costs (2021: US\$99m). On signing the extension, the facilities were reduced to a total of US\$90m (US\$45m each), with both facilities amortising in steps over the remaining tenor to October 2024.

Compliance with covenants

The financial covenants applicable for the period to 31 December 2022 were:

  • Leverage financial covenant: shall not exceed a ratio of 4.5:1 throughout 2022; and
  • Interest cover financial covenant: shall not be less than a ratio of 1.75:1 at 31 March 2022, if tested at this date, 1.50:1 at 30 June 2022, 1.0:1 at 30 September 2022, if tested at this date and 1.75:1 thereafter.

The newly amended and extended RCF and term loans (together, the 'Senior Loans') are subject to two financial covenants relating to minimum liquidity and minimum EBITDA. These replace the financial covenants that were previously in place for periods up to and including 31 December 2022.

The financial covenants are as follows:

  • Liquidity (excluding cash held in joint operations) shall exceed US\$75m at each month end.
  • EBITDA shall exceed a balance specified for each testing period, which for 2023 is the period commencing on 1 January 2023 and ending on the relevant calendar quarter end and thereafter is the 12 month period ending on the relevant calendar quarter end.

The Company was compliant with its covenants throughout the period to 30 September 2022 and received a waiver for the financial covenant testing date of 31 December 2022 as part of the facilities amendment and extension noted above. As this waiver was received post year end, as part of the amendment and extension in early 2023, the Senior Secured Notes were reclassified as current loans and borrowings in the balance sheet at 31 December 2022.

Both the Senior Loans and the Senior Secured Notes are secured obligations of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with each other.

Deferred consideration receivable from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd

The deferred consideration receivable from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd relating to the disposal of Petrofac GSA Holdings Limited, was measured at amortised cost using a discount rate of 8.4%. During 2022, the Company received US\$12m of the deferred consideration from Ithaca Energy UK Ltd and also sold the remaining receivable with a carrying value of US\$43m, for US\$40m. Upon sale of the receivable, the Company recognised a loss of US\$3m (note 3).

Restricted cash

The Company had outstanding letters of guarantee, including performance, advance payments and bid bonds on behalf of Group entities against which the Company had pledged or restricted cash balances. These guarantees and bonds are all in relation to various customer contracts which generate revenue for the Group and once the related conditions under these guarantees are satisfied, any related cash collateral is released into cash balances.

Derivative contracts on behalf of Group entities

Included in other financial assets is US\$3m (2021: US\$nil) in respect of derivative contracts on behalf of Group entities which relates to commodity swap contracts entered into by the Company on behalf of Group entities. The Company has entered into a back-to-back agreement with the Group entity and the liability on this contract of US\$3m at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$nil) was recognised as amounts due to Group entities.

Refer to note 9 for details on the embedded derivative in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Fair value measurement

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
  • Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments as at 31 December:

Management assessed the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, amounts due from/due to Group entities and trade and other payables to approximate their fair values and are therefore excluded from the above table.

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the Company balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where such information is not available, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could affect the recognised fair value of financial instruments and are discussed further below.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for material financial instruments:

  • The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts and commodity contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employ the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies, currency basis spreads between the respective currencies, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying commodity.
  • The fair value of the embedded derivative in respect of the RCF is estimated using option pricing models based on observable market yields on senior notes as the closest comparable debt instruments issued by the Company.
  • The fair values of long-term interest-bearing loans and borrowings (excluding senior secured notes which are quoted on an active exchange) are equivalent to their amortised costs determined as the present value of discounted future cash flows using the effective interest rate.

The outstanding lease liability of US\$20m is due to be repaid in full on 30 September 2026. The discounted minimum lease payments are US\$17m as at 31 December 2022 (2021: US\$17m).

21 Commitments and contingent liabilities Commitments

In the normal course of business, Group entities will obtain surety bonds, letters of credit and guarantees, which are contractually required to secure performance, advance payment or in lieu of retentions being withheld. Some of these facilities are secured by issue of corporate guarantees on behalf of Group entities by the Company in favour of the issuing banks.

At 31 December 2022, the Company had outstanding letters of guarantee, including performance and advance payments of US\$651m (2021: US\$673m) on behalf of Group entities against which the Company had pledged or had restricted cash balances of US\$46m (2021: US\$61m).

At 31 December 2022, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts amounting to US\$667m (2021: US\$849m). These commitments consist of future obligations either to acquire or to sell designated amounts of foreign currency at agreed rates and value dates. The Company also had commodity swap contracts in respect of 693,000 barrels of crude oil as at 31 December 2022 (2021: nil). All of these contracts have back-to-back contracts with the Group entity on behalf of whom the external derivative contract was entered into by the Company.

22 Risk management and financial instruments Risk management objectives and policies

The Company's principal financial assets and liabilities are amounts due from and due to Group entities, forward currency contracts, cash and short-term deposits and interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

The Company's activities expose it to various financial risks particularly associated with interest rate risks on its external variable rate loans and borrowings. The Company has a policy not to enter speculative trading of financial derivatives.

The other main risks besides interest rate are foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk; the policies relating to these risks are discussed in detail below:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Company's interest-bearing financial liabilities and assets.

The Company's variable interest-bearing loans and borrowings are primarily denominated in United States dollars and the associated interest rate is linked to United States dollar LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The Company uses derivatives to fix the underlying floating interest rates. At 31 December 2022, the proportion of floating rate debt was 27% of the total financial debt outstanding (2021: 24%).

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The impact on the Company's before tax profit and equity due to a reasonably possible change in interest rates is demonstrated in the table below.

The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on translation of assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the United States dollar reporting currency of the Company.

The Company uses forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency exposure on all amounts due from and due to Group entities.

The Company is only exposed to foreign currency exposure relating to cash and bank balances, an amount of £1m (2021: £12m) payable to a subsidiary and the term loan for AED185m (2021: AED185m) at the end of the reporting period.

The following table summarises the impact on the Company's profit before tax and equity (due to change in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities) of a reasonably possible change in US dollar exchange rates with respect to different currencies:

n/a n/a (9) (4)

The above foreign exchange contracts mature and will affect income between January 2023 and November 2023 (2021: between January 2022 and November 2023).

Credit risk

The Company's principal financial assets are cash and short-term deposits and amounts due from Group entities.

The Company manages its credit risk in relation to cash and short-term deposits by only depositing cash with financial institutions that have high credit ratings provided by international credit rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of revolving credit facility and term loans, to reduce its exposure to liquidity risk.

The maturity profiles of the Company's financial liabilities, based on their original contractual maturities at 31 December 2022 are shown opposite:

Shareholder warning

Shareholders should be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free company reports on the Company. Fraudsters use persuasive and high-pressure tactics to lure investors into scams and they may offer to sell shares that often turn out to be worthless, overpriced or even non-existent. Whilst high returns are promised, those who invest usually end up losing their money.

Please keep in mind that firms authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are unlikely to contact you out of the blue. If you receive any unsolicited investment advice:

  • Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation and make a record of any other information they give you, e.g. telephone number, address, and ask for their 'firm reference number' (FRN)
  • Check that they are properly authorised by the FCA before getting involved. You can check the FCA register at https://register.fca.org.uk or call +44 800 111 6768
  • Report approaches to the FCA a list of unauthorised overseas firms who are targeting, or have targeted, UK investors is maintained. Reporting such organisations means the list can be kept up to date and appropriate action be considered
  • Inform Equiniti (Jersey) Limited, our Registrars. They are not able to investigate such incidents themselves, but will record the details and pass them on to the Company and liaise with the FCA on your behalf
  • Consider that if you deal with an unauthorised firm, you would not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme

If you suspect you have been approached by fraudsters, please contact the FCA using the share fraud reporting form at fca.org.uk/scams.

You can also call the FCA Helpline on: 0800 111 6768 (UK freephone) or 0300 500 8082 (UK), or +44 207 066 1000 (outside UK)

If you have already paid money to share fraudsters, you should contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or online at actionfraud.police.uk.
