ASX Release

WORLEYPARSONS LIMITED

(ASX: WOR)

Changes to US tax law

On 27 December 2017, WorleyParsons announced a charge to tax expense of $58.2 million relating to the changes to US tax law introduced in the US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This charge related both to the potential loss in future years of currently available deductions and to the impact on the Group’s US deferred tax assets of the reduction in the US corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

Based on our further analysis of the rules, and on various clarifications that have emerged since the half year results, WorleyParsons expects to take an additional charge to the Group income tax expense of approximately $20m. This will bring the total charge for FY2018 to approximately $78.2m and, in accordance with the practice adopted at half year, this charge will be excluded from the underlying earnings of the Group.
