The total dividend for the year was up 26% at 17 cents per share (2011: 13.5 cents), following a final dividend payment of 11.3 cents, reflecting the company's "confidence in the longer term outlook for the group". Chief Executive Officer Bob Keiller said: "Our 2012 financial results represent another year of strong growth with EBITA up 35%, reflecting the focus and hard work of our people around the world. Wood Group is a great company and I believe we can be even better if we harness our collective strengths more effectively and operate in a more joined-up manner."We are set to make progress in all divisions in 2013, and I look forward to leading our further development in good long term growth markets."Divisionally, Wood Group Engineering delivered its second consecutive year of 30% EBITA growth, with particular strength in upstream and subsea & pipelines. In 2013 the company anticipates further revenue growth and margin improvement. Wood Group PSN delivered a good performance in the North Sea and experienced strong growth in North America. The company said it is "well placed" to deliver a strong performance this year. Wood Group GTS increased revenues in Maintenance and its EBITA were up around 10%. Power Solutions EBITA was slightly up on 2011, and looking ahead the group expects to see an improvement in Maintenance in 2013. Keiller added: "I believe that the Group can be stronger if we harness our collective strengths more effectively and operate in a more joined-up manner. There are further opportunities for cross-selling and pull-through, making better use of the depth of resources we have."Cash at the year end totalled $172.3m, compared to $226.6m at the close of 2011.
