Ayman Asfari, Petrofac's Group Chief Executive commented on the final results:

"Petrofac's core proposition is based on strong project execution, clear geographic focus, a disciplined approach to bidding and a sustainable, cost-effective structure. These strengths have positioned Petrofac well in a very challenging period for the oil and gas industry.

"Our results for 2015 were adversely affected by the Laggan-Tormore project on Shetland. However, we faced up to the exceptional challenges we encountered and honoured our commitment to our client. With the plant now successfully operational, these issues are finally behind us.

"We enter 2016 with a renewed focus on our core strengths. The Group's backlog stands at record year end levels, giving us excellent revenue visibility for 2016 and beyond. We remain committed to reducing the capital-intensity of the business and managing the IES portfolio to maximise value. Our balance sheet remains robust, our working capital position has improved and we remain dedicated to delivering shareholder value."

We are targeting further annualised efficiency savings of up to US$90 million by the end of 2016, which will help us to protect margins and maintain our strong competitive position, including US$25 million from de-layering and centralising back office services as part of our recently implemented Group reorganisation.

We see continuing investment from our clients in our core onshore markets of the Middle East and North Africa, in both key upstream and downstream projects. Our backlog is secure and stands at record year end levels, giving us excellent revenue visibility for 2016 and beyond. Our overall portfolio is in good shape, with embedded margins consistent with guidance.

We remain committed to reducing the capital-intensity of the business and managing the IES portfolio to maximise value. Our balance sheet remains robust, our working capital position has improved and we remain dedicated to delivering shareholder value.

BOARD CHANGES

Petrofac intends to appoint Andrea Abt and George Pierson as Non-executive Directors at its 2016 Annual General Meeting on 19 May. Andrea spent her executive career with Siemens AG where she held a range of leadership positions. George is the former CEO of Parsons Brinckerhoff, the American multinational design and engineering firm. The consequential changes to Board Committee memberships following these changes will be reviewed in due course.

Notes

(1) EBITDA means earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and is calculated as profit before tax, net finance costs, exceptional items and certain re-measurements, but after our share of results of associates (as per the consolidated income statement), adjusted to add back charges for depreciation and amortisation (as per note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

(2) Before exceptional items and certain re-measurements.

(3) Net profit for the year attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders.

(4) According to Company compiled consensus of 18 analysts, consensus net profit for 2015 before exceptional items and certain re-measurements and before losses from the Laggan-Tormore project is approximately US$435 million.

(5) Includes the long-term receivable on the Berantai Risk Service Contract, our investment in Seven Energy and receivables in respect of our portfolio of Mexican Production Enhancement Contracts, and excludes oil and gas facilities held under finance leases.

(6) Backlog consists of the estimated revenue attributable to the uncompleted portion of lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction contracts and variation orders plus, with regard to engineering, operations, maintenance and Integrated Energy Services contracts, the estimated revenue attributable to the lesser of the remaining term of the contract and five years. Backlog will not be booked on Integrated Energy Services contracts where the Group has entitlement to reserves. The Group uses this key performance indicator as a measure of the visibility of future revenue. Backlog is not an audited measure.

(7) As per our trading update on 15 December 2015, IES was expected to make a modest loss in 2016, based on the then prevailing oil price forward curve (which averaged approximately US$45 per barrel for 2016). We noted that an increase/decrease of US$1 in the price of oil would increase/decrease IES net profit in 2016 by around US$2.5 million. Guidance for net profit for the rest of the Group for 2016 was to be broadly in line with expectations, which are currently approximately US$450 million.
