Worley Interim Financial Report 2021 1

Directors’ report

The directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Worley Limited (Company or Parent Entity) and the entities it controlled (Group or Consolidated Entity) at the end of, and during, the half year ended 31 December 2020.

DIRECTORS

The following persons were directors of the Company from 1 July 2020 up to the date of this report:

Andrew Liveris, AO (Deputy Chair and Lead independent Director) Christopher Haynes, OBE Thomas Gorman Roger Higgins Martin Parkinson, AC Emma Stein (Appointed 10 December 2020) Juan Suárez Coppel Anne Templeman-Jones Wang Xiao Bin Sharon Warburton Chris Ashton (Chief Executive Officer)

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

During the half year, the principal activities of the Group consisted of providing engineering design and project delivery services, including providing maintenance, reliability support services and advisory services to the following sectors. These activities were driven by a common purpose in delivering a more sustainable world:

  • Energy - the extraction and processing of oil and gas as well as projects related to all forms of power generation, transmission and distribution;

  • Chemicals - the manufacture, processing and refining of chemicals (for example petrochemicals, polymers and speciality chemicals); and

  • Resources - the extraction and processing of mining, mineral and metal resources, and resource projects related to water, the environment, transport, ports and site remediation and decommissioning.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

On 9 July 2020, the Company acquired 50% of the shares in TW Power Services Pty Ltd (TWPS) it did not previously own for a cash consideration of $10.5 million. TWPS is an operations and maintenance (O&M) business providing services to support critical power infrastructures across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. In line with Worley's transformation strategy, this acquisition demonstrates our commitment to supporting our customers through their energy transition.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The profit after income tax expense attributable to members of the Company for the half year ended 31 December 2020 was $22.3 million (a decrease of $93.0 million on the $115.3 million net profit after tax reported in the corresponding period). The result was earned on aggregated revenue of $4,497.5 million (a decrease of 25.0% on the $5,998.0 million reported in the corresponding period).

2 Worley Interim Financial Report 2021

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

The directors consider that information presented below is important to understand the underlying performance of the Company by excluding significant non-recurring items relating to the transitions costs and costs incurred in the business response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated economic impact.

Costs of $67.2 million have been excluded from underlying profit before tax primarily in relation to transformation and restructuring activities and a continuation of transition costs incurred by the group (2019 costs of $81.6 million primarily in relation to transition costs). Transformation and restructuring comprise of payroll restructuring, impairment in relation to property, onerous contracts and net international Government subsidies received.

Notes to the financial statements

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

The Interim Financial Report of the consolidated entity for the half year ended 31 December 2020 does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and investing and financing activities of the Group as a full financial report.

The Interim Financial Report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020, which was prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. It is also recommended that the Interim Financial Report be considered together with any public announcements made by the Company and its controlled entities during the half year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and Guidance Note 8 – Continuous Disclosure: Listing Rules 3.1 - 3.1B issued by the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

The Interim Financial Report has been prepared using consistent accounting policies as used in the Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2020, including:

(A) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

(i) Basis of preparation

The Interim Financial Report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting .

The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 (Rounding in Financial / Directors’ Report) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the Directors’ Report and financial statements. Unless otherwise expressly stated, amounts have been rounded off to the nearest one hundred thousand dollars in accordance with that Instrument. Amounts shown as 0 represent amounts less than $50,000 which have been rounded down.

For the purposes of preparing the Interim Financial Report, the half year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

(ii) Historical cost convention

The Interim Financial Report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The carrying values of recognized assets and liabilities that are hedged with fair value hedges are adjusted to record changes in the fair values attributable to the risks that are being hedged.

(iii) Critical accounting estimates

In the application of AAS, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are made:

  • revenue recognition;

  • credit loss allowance;

  • goodwill and intangible assets with identifiable useful lives;

  • project, warranty and other provisions; and

  • recovery and valuation of deferred taxes.

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.

(B) ADOPTION OF NEW AND AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

The new and revised standards, amendments or AASB interpretations did not have any impact on the Group. These standards and interpretations are consistent with those disclosed in the 30 June 2020 Annual Financial Report.

(C) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET APPLICABLE

The Group has not early adopted any standards or interpretations that are issued but not yet effective. These standards and interpretations and potential impacts are consistent with those disclosed in the 30 June 2020 Annual Financial Report.

(D) RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVES[1]

In connection with the integration of the ECR business onto one ERP system, an inconsistency in the aging of trade receivables was identified. There is no change to the total trade receivables amount disclosed at 30 June 2020, however, a reclassification has occurred between the aging buckets as shown below.

30 June 2020 30 June 2020

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT (CONTINUED)

(D) RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVES (CONTINUED)

Also, in connection with the integration of the ECR business onto one ERP system, an inconsistent application of the tax groups applied at 30 June 2020 to determine the deferred tax asset and liability offset was identified. The restated offset of $133.8 million, an increase of $72.8 million, is applied equally to deferred tax assets and liabilities, and accordingly there is no change to the Group's net assets at 30 June 2020.

1.1 SEGMENT INFORMATION

(A) IDENTIFICATION OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Effective 1 July 2020, The Group completed a restructure of its operating model which has resulted in a revision to its operating segments. Segment reporting will now occur on a regional basis as follows:

  • Americas

  • EMEA; and

  • APAC.

Prior to the change, the Group’s business model consisted of four business lines being Energy and Chemical Services, Mining, Minerals and Metal Services, Major Projects & Integrated Solutions and Advisian. The change in operating structure represents a change to the operating segments reported in the previous corresponding period. The previous reported segment results for the half year ended 31 December 2019 have been restated for comparison purposes as required by AASB 8 Operating Segments . The Group has also included additional information segmented according to its market sector groups, which are consistent with 30 June 2020 and the prior corresponding interim reporting period. The 31 December 2019 market sector groups segment revenue and results have been restated in accordance with a review of project allocations to these sector groups.

(B) ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND INTER-SEGMENT TRANSACTIONS

Segment revenues and expenses are those that are directly attributable to a segment and the relevant portion that can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.

Segment revenues, expenses and results do not include transactions between segments incurred in the ordinary course of business as they are eliminated on consolidation. These transactions are priced on an arm’s length basis.

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally are the same as those contained in the annual financial statements and are consistent with those in the prior corresponding period.

The segment result includes the allocation of overhead that can be directly attributed to an individual business segment. The Group has allocated certain global support costs into the segment result in the current period. Prior period professional services costs, construction and fabrication costs and global support costs were restated for comparative purposes. Total expenses on the Statement of Financial Performance and Other Comprehensive Income have not changed. The segment note comparatives were also restated.

The following items and associated assets and liabilities are not allocated to segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:

  • global support costs;

  • interest and tax for associates;

  • amortization of acquired intangible assets;

  • transition and acquisition costs;

  • other gains and losses as described in note 1.1(G);

  • income tax expense as required on the above items; and

  • tax from changes in tax legislation.

(C) MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The most significant customer accounts for 4.4% (31 December 2019: 6.5%) of aggregated revenue and is within the APAC, EMEA & Americas operating segments, and the Energy & Chemicals market sector groups.

1.7 INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is not amortized; instead, it is tested annually, unless impairment is indicated. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those groups of CGUs. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the groups of CGUs to which the goodwill relates. The recoverable value of each CGU is estimated based on its value in use, consistent with prior periods. When the recoverable amount of the groups of CGUs is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Where certain assets cease to be a part of a CGU (including but not limited to rights of use assets), they are tested for impairment individually and where required are written down to their recoverable value.

Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not subsequently reversed. Impairment losses recognized for right of use assets can be subsequently reversed where it is supported by the recoverable value amount.

Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell, and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs).

The Group adopted a new operating model effective 1 July 2020. This resulted in a change in CGU’s used for impairment testing.

Management has assessed that the lowest level at which Goodwill is monitored is the three operating regions reporting to the CEO being Americas, EMEA and APAC. As required by AASB 136, Management has reallocated Goodwill as at 1 July 2020 to the revised CGU’s using a relative fair value approach. The reallocation of goodwill is based on a discounted cashflow valuation for each CGU. The discounted cashflow valuation utilizes the same assumptions as the impairment assessment performed at 30 June 2020 and represents the earnings of the business remapped to the new operating units. The proportion of each CGU’s relative value to the total value has then been used to determine the percentage of goodwill to be allocated.

Impairment testing value in use calculations use cash flow projections based on financial forecasts of how the business is expected to perform consistent with current and historical experience and external data. The estimation of future cash flows requires assumptions to be made regarding future uncertain events. The risk adjusted revenue growth rates for the CGUs range from 5.5% to 5.8% for the first five years. Our strategy considers the global transition of the world's energy to renewable fuels and the continued focus on sustainability related activities across our sectors. These trends have been considered in the market data utilized to assess each CGU’s growth rate for impairment testing.

KEY ESTIMATES

The goodwill allocated to the material CGUs and the key assumptions used for the value in use impairment testing are as follows:

31 December 2020 AMERICAS EMEA APAC
$’M $’M $’M
Opening balance restated 2,583.1 1,462.3 1,376.6
Closing balance 2,418.6 1,377.2 1,290.6
Risk-adjusted growth rate beyond five years 2.2% 2.2% 3.1%

IMPACT OF CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ON PROJECTED CASH FLOWS (INCLUDING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC)

Forecast cash flows have been based on the Group's past experience and the assessment of economic and regulatory factors affecting the markets within which the Group operates. As announced in the COVID-19 business impact update on 1 February 2021, the global acceleration of COVID-19 infection rates since October 2020 has further impacted demand in Worley’s end markets. However, despite this the Group has continued to generate strong operating cash flows and is in a good liquidity position. As further noted in the update, there are continued project deferrals but negligible project cancellations, and these deferred projects are expected to return in future periods as the global economic conditions improve.

The Group’s pivot to sustainability provides the structural framework for growth and we are winning work in line with our strategy. The Group is seeing sustainability opportunities accelerate across all of our sectors and we are well positioned to capture these opportunities with both new and existing customers. The experience to date of the impacts of COVID-19 on FY21 has been taken into consideration in the preparation of the FY2021 forecast and the projections for FY2022 - FY2025. The projected cash flow considers the impacts of COVID-19 through the FY2021 forecast and compound annual growth rates for CGUs range from 7% to 8% (noting the current period earnings have been impacted by COVID 19 economic conditions which are expected to recover in future periods).

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The combined recoverable values of all CGUs exceed the carrying value by $989 million (30 June 2020: $880 million). Management recognizes that the cash flow projections, discount and growth rates used to calculate the value in use may vary from what has been estimated.

The value in use estimate is particularly sensitive to the achievement of long-term growth rates, discount rates and the forecast performance. The Group has performed detailed sensitivity analysis as part of its impairment testing to ensure that the results of its testing are reasonable. Sensitivity analysis on the inputs for all CGUs is as follows:

  • terminal growth rates: a 0.5% decrease in the terminal growth rate will result in the fair value of all CGUs listed above being free of impairment at reporting date;

  • post-tax discount rates: a 0.5% increase in the discount rate will result in the fair value of all CGUs listed above being free of impairment at reporting date; and

  • forecast cash flows: a 7.5% decrease in the forecast cash flows will result in the fair value of all CGUs listed above being free of impairment at reporting date.

1 Included in ordinary shares are 1,006,193 (30 June 2020: 1,006,193) exchangeable shares. The issuance of the exchangeable shares and the attached special voting share replicate the economic effect of issuing ordinary shares in the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, exchangeable shares are treated in the same single class of issued capital as ordinary shares. In addition, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) treats these exchangeable shares to have been converted into ordinary shares of the Company at the time of their issue for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules. Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorized capital. The Worley Limited Plans Trust holds nil (30 June 2020: nil) shares in the Company, which have been consolidated and eliminated in accordance with the accounting standards.

1.12 FAIR VALUES

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values with the exception of interest bearing loans and borrowings which have a fair value of $1,750.8 million (30 June 2020: $1,907.6 million) and a carrying value of $1,723.7 million (30 June 2020: $1,866.4 million).

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining the fair value of a financial asset or liability: Level 1 - the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets; and

Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). The Group’s interest bearing loans and borrowings and derivative instruments including interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts fall within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Derivative instruments including interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts are restated to fair values at each reporting date based on market observable inputs such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rates curves.

Fair values of the Group’s interest bearing loans, borrowings and lease liabilities are determined by discounting future cash flows using period-end borrowing rates on loans and borrowings with similar terms and maturity.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2, and no financial instruments were measured at Level 3 (where fair value is measured using unobservable inputs for the asset or liability) for the periods presented in this report.

1.13 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

(A) GUARANTEES

The Company is, in the normal course of business, required to provide guarantees and letters of credit on behalf of controlled entities, associates and related parties in respect of their contractual performance related obligations.

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

(B) ACTUAL AND PENDING CLAIMS

The Company is subject to various actual and pending claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company has regular claims reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The directors are currently of the view that the consolidated entity is adequately provided in respect of these claims in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy.

(C) ASBESTOS

Certain subsidiaries acquired as part of the Parsons acquisition (Parsons E&C) have been, and continue to be, the subject of litigation relating to the handling of, or exposure to, asbestos. Due to the continuation and extension of the existing indemnity and asbestos claims administration arrangements between Parsons Corporation and Parsons E&C Corporation, the Group is not aware of any circumstance that is likely to lead to a residual contingent exposure for the Group in respect of asbestos liabilities.

Since the end of the half year, the directors have resolved to pay an interim dividend of 25.0 cents (unfranked) per fully paid ordinary share, including exchangeable shares (31 December 2019: 25.0 cents per share, unfranked). In accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets , the aggregate amount of the proposed interim dividend of $130.8 million is not recognized as a liability as at 31 December 2020.

A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
