Chairman's Statement
Introduction
The Group delivered strong growth in 2012 and we completed a number of changes
in the executive leadership team. In November, Sir Ian Wood retired as Chairman
and from the Board. Sir Ian has been an extraordinary leader, guiding Wood
Group from its roots in the North Sea to its position today as a major global
oil & gas services business. The Group and its shareholders owe a huge debt to
him.
On 1 November, I succeeded Sir Ian as Chairman and Bob Keiller became Group
CEO. Bob has taken over a strong business in good long term growth markets and
is supported by an excellent management team.
Markets
During the period we benefitted from an increase in global E&P spend, estimated
by commentators to have been around 9%. Looking forward, conditions in our end
markets are anticipated to remain favourable. We continue to see strong longer
term energy fundamentals, supported on the demand side by developing economies,
and on the supply side by increasingly complex field developments and the shale
led pickup in oil & gas and industrial activity in the US. The Group is well
positioned in end markets with a balance of opex and capex related activities
across key geographical areas of industry growth and we have a robust balance
sheet.
Financial Results
The Group's results reflected growth in all three divisions. Revenue from
continuing operations increased by 20% and EBITA from continuing operations was
up 35%. EBITA margin increased from 6.0% to 6.8%. Adjusted diluted EPS
increased by 42% to 85.2 cents.
Dividends
Reflecting our confidence in the longer term outlook for the Group, we are
declaring a final dividend of 11.3 cents which will bring the full year
dividend to 17.0 cents, in line with our stated intention at the half year, and
up 26% on 2011.
Board changes
In June, Les Thomas, Group Director of Health and Safety, and Mark Papworth,
Chief Executive of Wood Group GTS, stepped down from the board and depart with
our best wishes for the future. Robin Watson, Chief Executive of Wood Group PSN
and Mark Dobler, Chief Executive of Wood Group GTS were appointed to the Board
in January 2013. The Board will benefit from their significant operational
experience and leadership.
As announced last year, two of our longer serving non-executive directors, John
Morgan and Dr. Christopher Masters, retired at the 2012 AGM and we thank them
both for their considerable contribution. Mary Shafer-Malicki and Tom Botts
joined the Board as non-executive directors in May 2012 and January 2013
respectively.
Wood Group is well placed to further develop our leading positions across
engineering, production facilities support and gas turbine services and I look
forward to the Group's continued success under Bob's leadership and direction.

Bob Keiller discusses the Group's performance in 2012, his role as incoming CEO
and thoughts on strategy for the future:
Q: It's been a year of good growth across the group. What are the highlights?
Our 2012 financial results represent another year of strong growth with EBITA
up 35%; a fitting tribute to Sir Ian and Allister's leadership and the focus
and hard work of our people around the world.
Wood Group Engineering delivered very strong growth. Revenue increased by 23%
and EBITA increased by 36%, principally reflecting increased activity in
upstream and subsea & pipelines. In Wood Group PSN, revenue and EBITA growth of
23% and 34% benefitted from good performance in the North Sea, strong growth in
North America, and the full 12 month contribution from the PSN business
acquired in April 2011. In GTS, revenue and EBITA increased by 12% reflecting
growth in both Maintenance and Power Solutions.
Q: What are your priorities as CEO?
Firstly, I am looking to build on what Sir Ian and Allister have created; a
Group which has achieved significant growth both organically and by acquisition
over many years, and I am pleased that Allister will be able to support me from
his new position as Chairman. Wood Group is a great company, one I have known
as a customer, a competitor, a divisional CEO and now as a leader. And, based
on what I've seen since joining the Group, I believe we can be even better.
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. The component parts of the Group have cultures that
foster pride and entrepreneurship and my task is to protect that while
increasing collaboration. We have significantly ramped up internal
communication across the Group. This includes regular messages from the
Executive Committee that now represents all key areas of the business.
I'm looking to continue to build the business based around our Core Values
which unite the Group. These Core Values - Safety & Assurance, Relationships,
Social Responsibility, People, Innovation, Financial Responsibility and
Integrity - define who we are, what we believe in, set out how we act and how
we expect to be treated, and provide a sound basis to make decisions.
I will be also be working with my teams to further develop the combined Group
strategy. This will drive our tactical choices in terms of the range of
services we provide and the markets and customers that we provide them to.
Q Strategically, what progress did the Group make this year?
We continued to pursue long term and sustainable growth, retaining a balance
across opex and capex driven markets in oil & gas and power. Looking at some of
the operational highlights, we made good progress in broadening our
international footprint in Wood Group Engineering in Saudi Arabia and the Far
East, and developing relationships with a number of customers including IOCs
and EPC contractors. In Wood Group PSN we have been focussing on expansion in
the oil rich shale regions both organically and through the acquisitions of
Mitchell's and Duval. In Wood Group GTS we maintained our focus on driving
improved margins in Maintenance and delivering returns in Power Solutions. I am
keen to ensure that all parts of the business contribute to the Group's longer
term growth ambitions and benefit from being part of the Group.
Q What about safety performance in 2012?
We don't want anyone suffering injury or ill health when they work for us or if
they are affected by the work we do. It could be tempting to cite improvements
we have made in many areas but the stark fact is that one of our team died in
2012 in a vehicle incident. We are not complacent and are working hard to
assure the safety of our people.
Safety & Assurance is our top priority and first Core Value. In our 2011 Annual
Report, we talked about lessons learned from incidents and actions taken to
improve risk management as a result. Our Safety Leadership Programme was
launched at the end of 2011 with the aim of raising leaders' awareness of the
role that they play in delivering and improving the safety performance of the
Group and encouraging them to demonstrate their commitment to safety in real
and tangible ways. The programme has been led by the Board and has been rolled
out to around 1,200 managers to date. We are continuing to develop the
programme further and to extend it deeper into the organisation.
We recognise that often "near misses" can provide extremely valuable lessons
even if no physical harm was suffered. In 2013, we will be trying even harder
to recognise events that have a high loss potential and to ensure that we learn
from them. Over many years we have reduced the recordable injury rates to our
people whilst growing our workforce significantly.
Q Any change in the Group's approach to and appetite for risk?
Taking account of our skills, our customer base and our markets, it is clear to
me that we need to remain a lower risk, predominantly reimbursable business.
I do, however, want to tighten up our controls around contracts that contain
fixed-price elements, to ensure that we keep our overall risk profile well
within our comfort levels. Typically, these contracts together represent less
than 10% of revenues. I commissioned a team of senior operations and commercial
managers from across the Group to analyse, define and categorise different
types of contracts with fixed-price elements. We have defined five discrete
categories, some being relatively low risk where we have control over every
element of the contract delivery, and others such as EPC contracts that include
site works and third parties for instance, which represent a higher risk. We
are updating our review and control requirements and have defined contract-size
thresholds for each category.
Q What's the outlook for the Group?
Overall, we anticipate progress in all divisions in 2013.
In 2012, Wood Group Engineering delivered a second consecutive year of over 30%
EBITA growth as the division recovered from the trough in 2010. Looking ahead
to 2013, we anticipate revenue growth and margin improvement to lead to EBITA
growth of around 15%. This is supported by our current order book, prospects in
a number of key regions, including the Gulf of Mexico, the Middle East, the
Norwegian North Sea and Asia Pacific, and our view on the overall market which
should benefit from the forecast increase in E&P capex in 2013 of around 7%.
Wood Group PSN is well placed to deliver a strong performance in 2013. In 2012
we signed new contracts and renewals worth around $3.6bn in revenue, which
position us well for the future. Looking ahead, the North Sea should benefit
from spending on integrity management, operational assurance and production
initiatives. In North America we expect further growth from our US shale
activities, and in international markets we expect to see a significant
improvement from the progress we are making in Oman.
In GTS we anticipate continued improvement in Maintenance in 2013, principally
due to operational improvement initiatives. The European power related
Maintenance market is expected to remain soft but we believe that we will see
some improvement in the US. In Power Solutions, we remain on course to complete
the Dorad contract in 2013 together with the smaller contracts awarded in 2012.
We are pursuing a number of good near term Power Solutions opportunities in the
Americas and elsewhere, although these are smaller in scale. Having experienced
delays in project awards, we anticipate a lower contribution from Power
Solutions in 2013.
As I said earlier, Wood Group is a great company and I believe we can be even
better. We have a strong business set to make progress in all divisions in
2013, and I look forward to leading our further development in good long term
growth markets.

Operational Review
Wood Group Engineering
We provide a wide range of market-leading engineering services to the upstream,
subsea & pipelines, downstream & industrial and clean energy sectors. These
include conceptual studies, engineering, project & construction management
(EPCM) and control system upgrades.

EBITA margin 12.3% 11.1% 1.2pts
People3 10,200 9,100 12%
Wood Group Engineering delivered very strong growth. Revenue increased by 23%
and EBITA increased by 36%, principally reflecting increased activity in
upstream and subsea & pipelines. EBITA margin increased from 11.1% to 12.3%,
largely as a result of higher volumes and improvement in pricing in some areas.
Headcount increased by 12% from 9,100 to 10,200. The increase was heavily
weighted to the first half of the year, reflecting the timing of significant
contract awards in upstream.
Our upstream business accounted for just under 40% of divisional revenue.
Detailed engineering work continues on the Ichthys and Mafumeira Sul projects
in Australia and Angola, which are scheduled to complete in the second half of
2013. Strength in the Gulf of Mexico was driven by FEED and detailed
engineering work on projects including Anadarko Lucius, Exxon Hadrian, Chevron
Jack & St Malo and Williams Partners Tubular Bells. We have visibility on
prospects including detailed engineering following from ongoing and executed
FEEDs, along with additional projects with existing customers. In Canada we
have seen good growth over the last two years, but experienced a slow down in
activity in the last quarter which is continuing in 2013.
Our subsea & pipeline business accounted for almost 45% of revenue. Our subsea
activities remained strong in the North Sea and Australia where we continue to
work on projects including BP Quad 204 and Chevron Gorgon. Elsewhere, we
continue to work on the next phase of ACG in the Caspian and on Block 18 in
Angola, and have recently been awarded the subsea FEED work on the Abadi FLNG
project in Indonesia for Inpex. Our onshore pipelines business has performed
well in the US, benefitting from the award of the Shell pipeline and terminals
EPCM contract and general activity levels in the shale regions.
Downstream, process & industrial activities accounted for just over 15% of
revenue. Performance in the second half improved, although the market remains
highly competitive.
Outlook
In 2012, Wood Group Engineering delivered a second consecutive year of over 30%
EBITA growth as the division recovered from the trough in 2010. Looking ahead
to 2013, we anticipate revenue growth and margin improvement to lead to EBITA
growth of around 15%. This is supported by our current order book, prospects in
a number of key regions, including the Gulf of Mexico, the Middle East, the
Norwegian North Sea and Asia Pacific, and our view on the overall market which
should benefit from the forecast increase in E&P capex in 2013 of around 7%.
Wood Group PSN
We provide life of field support to producing assets through brownfield
engineering and modifications, production enhancement, operations and
maintenance, training, maintenance management and abandonment services.

People3 29,200 26,200 11%
In Wood Group PSN, revenue and EBITA growth of 23% and 34% respectively,
includes a full 12 month contribution from the PSN business acquired in April
2011.
Headcount increased by 11% from 26,200 to 29,200 due to increases in Oman, the
North Sea and the US, together with the impact of acquisitions.
We saw a good performance in the North Sea, which accounted for around 40% of
Wood Group PSN revenue. Activity on our operations & maintenance and brownfield
engineering scopes on longer term contracts, including with BP, Shell, Talisman
and TAQA, contributed to growth in 2012. During the year we negotiated contract
renewals and extensions worth over $800m. We were also awarded the operations &
maintenance contract for Premier Oil's Balmoral FPV, the brownfield engineering
work on Total's Franklin field and the hook-up and commissioning scope for
Nexen's Golden Eagle project.
The Americas accounted for around 30% of revenue. Growth in North America was
strong, particularly in the US shale regions where we saw good organic growth
and benefitted towards the end of the year from the Duval and Mitchell's
acquisitions in the oil-rich Eagle Ford and Bakken regions respectively. Our
offshore activities in the Gulf of Mexico also performed well.
International markets, outside the North Sea and the Americas, represent around
30% of revenue. In Oman, the loss for the year was around $20m. Despite this
poor performance, we made good progress on a number of matters and are
increasingly confident of seeing a significant improvement in 2013, and that
2014 will be profitable. Elsewhere in the Middle East we announced our first
contract award in Kurdistan with DNO for engineering and support services on
the Tawke field. In Australia, we were awarded significant new maintenance work
in Melbourne and continue to work for clients including Exxon Mobil and
Woodside. In Africa, we remain active in Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria and
Angola. In the Caspian, we are providing facilities engineering and
commissioning services to customers including Tengizchevroil and Agip KCO.
Outlook
Wood Group PSN is well placed to deliver a strong performance in 2013. In 2012
we signed new contracts and renewals worth around $3.6bn in revenue, which
positions us well for the future. Looking ahead, the North Sea should benefit
from spending on integrity management, operational assurance and production
initiatives. In North America we expect further growth from our US shale
activities, and in international markets we expect to see a significant
improvement from the progress we are making in Oman.
Wood Group GTS
We are a leading independent provider of rotating equipment services and
solutions for clients in the power and oil & gas markets. These services
include: power plant engineering, procurement and construction; facility
operations & maintenance; and repair, overhaul, optimisation and upgrades of
gas and steam turbines, pumps, compressors and other high-speed rotating
equipment.

Revenue and EBITA increased by 12% reflecting growth in both Maintenance and
Power Solutions. Headcount was in line with the position at December 2011.
Maintenance revenues were up on 2011 and EBITA increased by around 10%. Our
aero derivative joint ventures, which are predominantly oil & gas related, made
a strong contribution. EBITA margins improved, largely due to our increased
focus on operating efficiency initiatives across our Maintenance activities.
During the year, we were also awarded multi-year maintenance contracts covering
Sakhalin island for SEIC, the Brent assets in the North Sea for Shell and the
Sacramento Power Authority's industrial facility in California.
Power Solutions delivered EBITA slightly up on 2011. We have now completed our
GWF contract, recognising a profit on the contract overall. The Dorad contract
has progressed largely as anticipated and is due to complete in the fourth
quarter of 2013. Towards the end of 2012, we commenced work on our smaller
contracts with NRG and Pasadena Water and Power.
Outlook
In GTS we anticipate continued improvement in Maintenance in 2013, principally
due to operational improvement initiatives. The European power related
Maintenance market is expected to remain soft but we believe that we will see
some improvement in the US. In Power Solutions, we remain on course to complete
the Dorad contract in 2013 together with the smaller contracts awarded in 2012.
We are pursuing a number of good near term Power Solutions opportunities in the
Americas and elsewhere, although these are smaller in scale. Having experienced
delays in project awards, we anticipate a lower contribution from Power
Solutions in 2013.

Amortisation
The amortisation charge for the year of $85.5m (2011: $78.7m) includes $57.1m
(2011: $56.8m) of amortisation relating to intangible assets arising from
acquisitions, of which $46.0m (2011: $47.4m) is in relation to the PSN
acquisition. The total amortisation charge for 2013 is expected to be around
$85m of which it is anticipated around $40m will relate to PSN.

relation the disposal of the Well Support Middle Eastern business.
The restructuring and integration charge of $14.6m and the goodwill impairment
of $1.9m were mainly in respect of decisions to withdraw from certain markets.
The $10.0m bad debt provision/write off is made up of a charge of $16.8m in
relation to work done for ATP Oil & Gas Corporation, who filed a voluntary
petition for reorganisation under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code in
August 2012, offset by recoveries of $6.8m in relation to receivables due from
a Libyan customer which were fully provided in 2011. We will continue to make
every effort to recover all amounts due.
A net tax charge of $0.1m has been recognised in respect of the exceptional

Effective tax rate on continuing operations 28.6% 29.5%
The effective tax rate on continuing operations in 2012 was 28.6% (2011:
29.5%). Going forward we expect the effective tax rate to be no more than 27.5%
for the foreseeable future, with the reduction including the net impact of a
number of factors such as reducing corporate tax rates in certain
jurisdictions, the impact of losses and the changing geographic mix of our
business.
Earnings per share
Adjusted diluted EPS for 2012 increased by 42% to 85.2 cents per share (2011:
60.2c), due to the increase in underlying profitability and a reduction in the
average number of fully diluted shares in the period subsequent to our return
of capital in 2011.
Dividend
Reflecting our confidence in the longer term outlook for the Group, the
directors have proposed a final dividend of 11.3 cents per share. This results
in a total dividend for 2012 of 17.0 cents per share, a 26% increase on 2011
and an annual compound growth in dividends since IPO in 2002 of 19%. Dividend

The increase in net current assets since December 2011 is primarily due to
lower trade and other payables, higher trade receivables and inventory, partly
offset by lower net cash.
The increase in non-current liabilities is primarily due to the increase in
longer term borrowings since December 2011.
Capital efficiency
The continuing Group's pre tax Return on average Capital Employed6 ("ROCE")
increased from 18.4% to 19.3%. This reflects an increase in ROCE in Wood Group
Engineering following higher profitability in the period, offset to some extent
by lower ROCE in Wood Group PSN which in 2012 has had the full year impact of
higher goodwill and intangible assets arising on acquisition.
The continuing Group's ratio of average Operating Capital Employed to Revenue7
("OCER") worsened from 10.6% to 12.5%. The movement was due principally to a
general increase in average receivable days in Wood Group Engineering.

Cash generated from operations pre-working capital increased by $49.0m to
$520.6m and post-working capital increased by $43.2m to $327.7m. The working
capital outflow of $192.9m relates primarily to higher trade receivables as a
result of increased activity in the period, along with higher inventory in GTS
and the timing of payments and customer receipts on Power Solutions EPC
contracts.
Cash paid in relation to acquisitions totalled $158.3m (2011: $964.8m),
deferred consideration paid in respect of prior period acquisitions amounted to
$30.4m (2011: $14.6m) and payments for capex and intangible assets increased to
$127.2m (2011: $104.4m). We anticipate spend on capex and intangible assets to
be around $120m to $140m in 2013.
The increase in tax paid in the year was due to higher profitability in the
period and tax payments arising from the Well Support disposal in 2011.
The reduction in interest, dividend and other largely relates to the 2011
purchase of shares for the employee benefits trust and 2011 expenses relating
to the return of cash to shareholders.
In February 2013, the Group renewed and extended its bilateral borrowing
facilities from $800m to $950m with the maturity date being extended to
February 2018.
Foreign exchange and constant currency reporting
The Group's revenue and EBITA can be impacted by movements in foreign exchange
rates, including the effect of retranslating the results of subsidiaries with
various functional currencies into US dollars at different exchange rates.
Given there were no significant movements in the average US dollar to other
major currencies in which we operate between 2011 and 2012, our results in
constant currency terms are materially the same as those presented above.
Pensions
The majority of the Group's pension arrangements are on a defined contribution
basis. The Group operates one UK defined benefit scheme which had 258 active
members and 933 deferred, pensionable deferred or pensionable members at 31
December 2012. At 31 December 2012 the scheme had a deficit of $55.0m (2011:
$45.8m) before recognition of a deferred tax asset of $12.7m (2010: $11.5m). In
assessing the potential liabilities, judgment is required to determine the
assumptions around future salary and pension increases, inflation, investment
returns and member longevity. The increase in the deficit from 2011 was due
primarily to a reduction in the discount rate used, which is based on corporate
bond yields.
The scheme is closed to new members and future benefits under the scheme are
provided on a Career Average Revalued Earnings "CARE" basis.
Full details of pension assets and liabilities are provided in note 29 to the
Group financial statements.
Acquisitions
During the year the Group completed the acquisitions of Mitchell's and Duval
which are providers of maintenance, installation and fabrication services to
the Bakken and Eagle Ford shale regions respectively. The total initial
consideration for these acquisitions was $158.3m, net of cash and borrowings
acquired. Both these acquisitions will now form part of the Wood Group PSN
division and will significantly strengthen our position in those regions.
Footnotes
1 EBITA from continuing operations represents operating profit from continuing
operations pre-exceptional items of $375.6m (2011:$262.9m) before the deduction
of amortisation of $85.5m (2011: $78.7m) and is provided as it is a key unit of
measurement used by the Group in the management of its business.
2 Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing earnings before
exceptional items and amortisation, net of tax, by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares in issue during the period, excluding shares held by the
Group's employee ownership trusts and adjusted to assume conversion of all
potentially dilutive ordinary shares.
3 Number of people includes both employees and contractors at 31 December 2012.
4 Interest cover is EBITA from continuing operations divided by the net finance
charge.
5 Dividend cover is AEPS divided by the total dividend per ordinary share for
the period.
6 Return of Capital Employed (ROCE) is EBITA divided by average capital
employed.
7 Operating Capital Employed to Revenue (OCER) is the average operating capital
employed (property, plant and equipment, intangible assets (excluding
intangibles recognised on acquisition), inventories and trade and other
receivables less trade and other payables) divided by revenue.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year to 31 December 2012
General information
John Wood Group PLC, its subsidiaries and joint ventures, provide services to
the oil and gas and power generation industries worldwide. Details of the
Group's activities during the year are detailed in the Operational Review. John
Wood Group PLC is a public limited company, incorporated and domiciled in
Scotland and listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and IFRIC
interpretations adopted by the European Union (`EU') and with those parts of
the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The Group
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the
historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial assets
and liabilities at fair value through the income statement.
Significant accounting policies
The Group's significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these
financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently
applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements are the result of the consolidation of the
financial statements of the Group's subsidiary undertakings from the date of
acquisition or up until the date of divestment as appropriate. Subsidiaries are
entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and
operating policies and generally accompanies a shareholding of more than one
half of the voting rights. The Group's interests in joint ventures are
accounted for using proportional consolidation. Under this method the Group
includes its share of each joint venture's income, expenses, assets,
liabilities and cash flows on a line by line basis in the consolidated
financial statements. Transactions between Group subsidiaries are eliminated
and transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the
extent of the Group's interest in the joint venture. All Group companies apply
the Group's accounting policies and prepare financial statements to 31
December.
Critical accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the year. These estimates are based on management's best
knowledge of the amount, event or actions and actual results ultimately may
differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions that have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities are addressed below.
(a) Impairment of goodwill
The Group carries out impairment reviews whenever events or changes in
circumstance indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be
recoverable. In addition, the Group carries out an annual impairment review. An
impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount of goodwill is less
than the carrying amount. The impairment tests are carried out by CGU ("Cash
Generating Unit") and reflect the latest Group budgets. The budgets are based
on various assumptions relating to the Group's businesses including assumptions
relating to oil prices, resource utilisation, foreign exchange rates, contract
awards and contract margins. The outlook for the Group is discussed in the
CEO's Q&A section of the Annual Report. Pre-tax discount rates of between 11%
and 13% have been used to discount the CGU cash flows and a sensitivity
analysis has also been performed (see note 8).
(b) Revenue recognition
Revenue on lump sum contracts for services, construction contracts and fixed
price long-term service agreements is recognised according to the stage of
completion reached in the contract by measuring the proportion of costs
incurred for work performed to total estimated costs. Estimating the costs to
completion and therefore the total contract costs is a key judgment in respect
of the revenue recognition on these contracts.
Notes to the financial statements
for the year to 31 December 2012
Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Judgement is
required in determining the
worldwide provision for income taxes. The Group recognises liabilities for
anticipated tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be
due. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the
amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current
and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such
determination is made.
(d) Retirement benefit liabilities
The value of the Group's retirement benefit liabilities is determined on an
actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. Changes in these assumptions
will impact the carrying value of the liability. The Group determines the
appropriate discount rate to be used in the actuarial valuation at the end of
each financial year following consultation with the retirement benefit scheme
actuary. In determining the rate used, consideration is given to the interest
rates of high quality corporate bonds in the currency in which the benefits
will be paid and that have terms to maturity similar to those of the related
retirement benefit obligation. See note 29 for further details.
Functional currency
The Group's earnings stream is primarily US dollars and the principal
functional currency is the US dollar, being the most representative currency of
the Group. The Group's financial statements are therefore prepared in US
dollars.
The following exchange rates have been used in the preparation of these
accounts:
2012 2011
Average rate £1 = $ 1.5845 1.6041
Closing rate £1 = $ 1.6255 1.5541
Foreign currencies
Income statements of entities whose functional currency is not the US dollar
are translated into US dollars at average rates of exchange for the period and
assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the rates of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translation
of net assets in such entities held at the beginning of the year, together with
those differences resulting from the restatement of profits and losses from
average to year end rates, are taken to the currency translation reserve.
In each individual entity, transactions in overseas currencies are translated
into the relevant functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date
of the transaction. Where more than one exchange rate is available, the
appropriate rate at which assets can be readily realised and liabilities can be
extinguished is used. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet
date. Any exchange differences are taken to the income statement.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign
entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and
translated at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date.
The directors consider it appropriate to record sterling denominated equity
share capital in the accounts of John Wood Group PLC at the exchange rate
ruling on the date it was raised.
Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable
for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group's
activities. Revenue is recognised only when it is probable that the economic
benefits associated with a transaction will flow to the Group and the amount of
revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue from services is recognised as the
services are rendered, including where they are based on contractual rates per
man hour in respect of multi-year service contracts. Incentive performance
revenue is recognised upon completion of agreed objectives. Revenue from
product sales is recognised when the significant risks and
Notes to the financial statements
for the year to 31 December 2012
Accounting Policies (continued)
rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, which is normally upon
delivery of products and customer acceptance, if any. Revenue is stated net of
sales taxes (such as VAT) and discounts.
Revenue on lump sum contracts for services, construction contracts and fixed
price long-term service agreements is recognised according to the stage of
completion reached in the contract by measuring the proportion of costs
incurred for work performed to total estimated costs. An estimate of the profit
attributable to work completed is
recognised, on a basis that the directors consider to be prudent, once the
outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably, which is when a contract is
not less than 20% complete. Expected losses are recognised in full as soon as
losses are probable. The net amount of costs incurred to date plus recognised
profits less the sum of recognised losses and progress billings is disclosed as
trade receivables/trade payables.
Exceptional items
Exceptional items are those significant items which are separately disclosed by
virtue of their size or incidence to
enable a full understanding of the Group's financial performance. Transactions
which may give rise to exceptional items include gains and losses on divestment
of businesses, write downs or impairments of assets including goodwill,
restructuring costs or provisions, litigation settlements, acquisition costs
and one-off gains and losses arising from currency devaluations.
Finance expense/income
Interest income and expense is recorded in the income statement in the period
to which it relates. Arrangement fees in respect of the Group's borrowing
facilities are amortised over the period to which the facility relates.
Interest relating to the discounting of deferred and contingent consideration
liabilities is included in finance expense.
Dividends
Dividends to the Group's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the
period in which the dividends are approved by shareholders. Interim dividends
are recognised when paid.
Goodwill
The Group uses the purchase method of accounting to account for acquisitions.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair
value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Acquisition costs are expensed in
the income statement.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Intangible
assets are recognised if it is probable that there will be future economic
benefits attributable to the asset, the cost of the asset can be measured
reliably, the asset is separately identifiable and there is control over the
use of the asset. Where the Group acquires a business, intangible assets on
acquisition such as customer contracts are identified and evaluated to
determine the carrying value on the acquisition balance sheet. Intangible
assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Software and development costs 3-5 years
Intangible assets on acquisition 3-10 years
Property plant and equipment
Property plant and equipment (PP&E) is stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment. No depreciation is charged with respect to
freehold land and assets in the course of construction.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the following
estimated useful lives of the assets:
Freehold and long leasehold buildings 25-50 years
Short leasehold buildings period of lease
Notes to the financial statements
for the year to 31 December 2012
Accounting Policies (continued)
Plant and equipment 3-10 years
When estimating the useful life of an asset group, the principal factors the
Group takes into account are the durability of the assets, the intensity at
which the assets are expected to be used and the expected rate of technological
developments. Asset lives and residual values are assessed at each balance
sheet date.
Impairment
The Group performs impairment reviews in respect of PP&E and intangible assets
whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable. In addition, the Group carries out annual impairment
reviews in respect of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognised when the
recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of the asset's fair value
less costs to sell and its value in use, is less than its carrying amount.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the
appropriate cash generating unit ("CGU"). The CGUs are aligned to the structure
the Group uses to manage its business. Cash flows are discounted in determining
the value in use.
Inventories
Inventories, which include materials, work in progress and finished goods and
goods for resale, are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Service based companies' inventories consist of spare parts and other
consumables. Serialised parts are costed using the specific identification
method and other materials are generally costed using the first in, first out
method. Product based companies determine cost by weighted average cost methods
using standard costing to gather material, labour and overhead costs. These
costs are adjusted, where appropriate, to correlate closely the standard costs
to the actual costs incurred based on variance analysis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less the estimated costs of completion and estimated selling
expenses. Allowance is made for obsolete and slow-moving items, based upon
annual usage.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and other short-term bank
deposits with maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are included
within borrowings in current liabilities. Where the Group uses pooling
arrangements with a right of set-off, overdrafts and cash are netted and
included in the appropriate category depending on the net position of the pool.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision
for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established
when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all
amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of
the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective
interest rate. The provision is determined by reference to previous experience
of recoverability for receivables in each market in which the Group operates.
Trade payables
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured
at amortised cost.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs
incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost.
Notes to the financial statements
for the year to 31 December 2012
Accounting Policies (continued)
Deferred and contingent consideration
Where it is probable that deferred or contingent consideration is payable on
the acquisition of a business based on an earn out arrangement, an estimate of
the amount payable is made at the date of acquisition and reviewed regularly
thereafter, with any change in the estimated liability being reflected in the
income statement. Changes in the estimated liability in respect of acquisitions
completed before 31 December 2009 are reflected in goodwill. Where deferred
consideration is payable after more than one year the estimated liability is
discounted using an appropriate rate of interest.
Taxation
The tax charge represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable
profit differs from the profit reported in the income statement due to items
that are not taxable or deductible in any period and also due to items that are
taxable or deductible in a different period. The Group's liability for current
tax is calculated using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided, using the full liability method, on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The principal
temporary differences arise from depreciation on PP&E, tax losses carried
forward and, in relation to acquisitions, the difference between the fair
values of the net assets acquired and their tax base. Tax rates enacted, or
substantially enacted, at the balance sheet date are used to determine deferred
tax.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilised.
Accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the contract is
entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The method of
recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is
designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being
hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either: (1) hedges of the
fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value
hedge); (2) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedge);
or (3) hedges of net investments in foreign operations (net investment hedge).
Where hedging is to be undertaken, the Group documents the relationship between
the hedging instrument and the hedged item at the inception of the transaction,
as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge
transaction. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception
and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging
transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash
flows of the hedged items. The Group performs effectiveness testing on a
quarterly basis.
a. Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as
fair value hedges are recorded in administrative expenses in the income
statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or
liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
b. Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are
designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the hedging reserve
in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised
immediately in administrative expenses or finance income/expense in the income
statement. Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled through the income
statement in periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets
the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in
equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast
transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a
Notes to the financial statements
for the year to 31 December 2012
Accounting Policies (continued)
forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or
loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income
statement.
c. Net investment hedge
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to
cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the
effective portion of the hedge is recognised in the currency translation
reserve in equity; the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is
recognised immediately in administrative expenses in the income statement.
Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the income statement
when the foreign operation is disposed of.
d. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges
Certain derivatives, whilst providing effective economic hedges are not
designated as hedges. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments
that are not designated for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in
administrative expenses in the income statement.
Fair value estimation
The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of
their estimated future cash flows. The fair value of forward foreign exchange
contracts is determined using forward foreign exchange market rates at the
balance sheet date. The fair values of all derivative financial instruments are
obtained from valuations provided by financial institutions.
The carrying values of trade receivables and payables approximate to their fair
values.
The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future
contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to
the Group for similar financial instruments.
Operating leases
As lessee
Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a
straight line basis over the period of the lease. Benefits received and
receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on
a straight line basis over the period of lease.
As lessor
Operating lease rental income arising from leased assets is recognised in the
income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Retirement benefit liabilities
The Group operates a defined benefit scheme and a number of defined
contribution schemes. The liability recognised in respect of the defined
benefit scheme represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations
less the fair value of the scheme assets. The assets of this scheme are held in
separate trustee administered funds.
The defined benefit scheme's assets are measured using fair values. Pension
scheme liabilities are measured annually by an independent actuary using the
projected unit method and discounted at the current rate of return on a high
quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liability. The
increase in the present value of the liabilities of the Group's defined benefit
scheme expected to arise from employee service in the period is charged to
operating profit. The expected return on the scheme assets and the increase
during the period in the present value of the scheme's liabilities arising from
the passage of time are included in finance income/expense. Actuarial gains and
losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in full in the
period in which they occur. The defined benefit scheme's net assets or net
liabilities are recognised in full and presented on the face of the balance
sheet.
The Group's contributions to defined contribution schemes are charged to the
income statement in the period to which the contributions relate.
Notes to the financial statements
for the year to 31 December 2012
Accounting Policies (continued)
Provisions
Provision is made for the estimated liability on all products and services
still under warranty, including claims already received, based on past
experience. Other provisions are recognised where the Group is deemed to have a
legal or constructive obligation, it is probable that a transfer of economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of
the obligation can be made. Where amounts provided are payable after more than
one year the estimated liability is discounted using an appropriate rate of
interest.
Share based charges relating to employee share schemes
The Group has a number of employee share schemes:-
i. Share options granted under Executive Share Option Schemes (`ESOS') are
granted at market value. A charge is booked to the income statement as an
employee benefit expense for the fair value of share options expected to be
exercised, accrued over the vesting period. The corresponding credit is
taken to retained earnings. The fair value is calculated using an option
pricing model.
ii. Share options granted under the Long Term Retention Plan (`LTRP') are
granted at par value. The charge to the income statement for LTRP shares is
also calculated using an option pricing model and, as with ESOS grants, the
fair value of the share options expected to be exercised is accrued over
the vesting period. The corresponding credit is also taken to retained
earnings.
iii. The Group has a Long Term Incentive Plan (`LTIP') for executive directors
and certain senior executives. Participants are awarded shares dependent on
the achievement of performance targets. The charge to the income statement
for shares awarded under the LTIP is based on the fair value of those
shares at the grant date, spread over the vesting period. The corresponding
credit is taken to retained earnings. For those awards that have a market
related performance measure, the fair value of the market related element
is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
iv. The Group has a Long Term Cash Incentive Plan (`LTCIP') for senior
management. Participants are paid a cash bonus dependent on the achievement
of performance targets. The charge to the income statement is based on the
fair value of the awards and is linked to movements in the Group's share
price. The charge is spread over the vesting period with the corresponding
credit being recorded in liabilities.
Proceeds received on the exercise of share options are credited to share
capital and share premium.
Share capital
John Wood Group PLC has one class of ordinary shares and these are classified
as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are not recognised as a liability or
charged to equity until they have been approved by shareholders.
The Group is deemed to have control of the assets, liabilities, income and
costs of its employee share trusts, therefore they have been consolidated in
the financial statements of the Group. Shares acquired by and disposed of by
the employee share trusts are recorded at cost. The cost of shares held by the
employee share trusts is deducted from equity.
Segmental reporting
The Group has determined that its operating segments are based on management
reports reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (`CODM'), the Group's
Chief Executive. The Group's reportable segments are Wood Group Engineering,
Wood Group PSN and Wood Group GTS.
The CODM measures the operating performance of these segments using `EBITA'
(Earnings before interest, tax and amortisation). Operating segments are
reported in a manner consistent with the internal management reports
provided to the CODM who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating
segments.
Notes to the financial statements
for the year to 31 December 2012
Accounting Policies (continued)

and modifications, production enhancement, operations and management, training,
maintenance management and abandonment services. Wood Group GTS is an
independent provider of rotating equipment services and solutions for clients
in the power and oil and gas markets. These services include power plant
engineering, procurement and construction; facility operations and maintenance;
and repair, overhaul, optimisation and upgrades of gas and steam turbines,
pumps, compressors and other high speed rotating equipment.
Disclosure of impact of new and future accounting standards
(a) Amended standards and interpretations not relevant to the Group
The following revisions and amendments to standards and interpretations are
mandatory as of 1 January 2012 but are currently not relevant to the Group and
have no impact to the Group's financial statements:
* Amendment to IFRS 7, `Financial instruments: Transfers of financial assets'
* Amendment to IFRS 1 on hyperinflation and fixed dates
* Amendment to IAS 12, 'Income taxes' on deferred tax'
(b) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are
not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group
The following relevant standards and amendments and interpretations to existing
standards have been published and are mandatory for the Group's accounting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 or later periods, but the Group
has not early adopted them:
* IFRS 10, `Consolidated financial statements'
* IFRS 11, `Joint arrangements'
* IFRS 12, `Disclosures of interests in other entities'
* IFRS 13, `Fair value measurement'
* IAS 19 (revised 2011) `Employee benefits'
* IAS 27 (revised 2011) `Separate financial statements'
* IAS 28 (revised 2011) `Associates and joint ventures'
* Amendment to IFRS 1, `Presentation of financial statements on Other
Comprehensive Income'
* Amendment to IFRS 7 on Financial instruments asset and liability offsetting
The Group currently accounts for its interests in joint ventures using
proportional consolidation. Under IFRS 11, proportional consolidation will
not be permitted and therefore from 1st January 2014 the Group will account for
its interests in joint ventures using equity accounting. The use of equity
accounting will have no impact on Group profit for the year or earnings per
share, but will impact the presentation of the Group's interests in joint
ventures in the income statement and in the balance sheet.
The revision to IAS 19 will not have a material impact on the financial
statements although it is expected that the net finance cost in the income
statement will increase in future periods (see note 29 for further details).
The Group has yet to assess the full impact of the other new standards and
amendments but does not expect them to have a material impact on the financial
statements.

to withdraw from certain markets, were expensed during the year. Integration
and restructuring charges of $84.2m, relating mainly to the PSN integration and
the decision to exit from certain markets, were expensed in 2011.
Goodwill of $1.9m was impaired during the year as a result of the decision to
exit from certain markets referred to above. Goodwill of $46.2m, mainly
relating to a Wood Group GTS power related business was impaired in 2011.
A net bad debt write off of $10.0m was recorded in 2012. A charge of $16.8m was
recorded in respect of engineering work carried out for ATP Oil and Gas
Corporation (`ATP'). ATP filed a voluntary petition for reorganisation under
Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code in August 2012. This write off was partly
offset by a credit of $6.8m in respect of cash recovered against the overdue
Libyan receivables provision made in 2011 following political disruption in the
country.
Acquisition costs of $12.0m and bank facility fees of $3.8m, relating mainly to
the purchase of PSN were expensed in 2011.
The gain on divestment of Well Support arose primarily from the disposal of the
Group's interest in a Middle Eastern business. There was no gain nor loss on
the divestment of the Group's aero engine overhaul business, the assets having
been written down in 2011.
In 2011 the gain on divestment of Well Support amounted to $2,305.7m, and a
charge of $12.0m was made in relation to the write down of the assets of the
Group's aero engine overhaul business.

Tax is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions in
which the Group operates. The expected rate is the weighted average rate taking
into account the Group's profits in these jurisdictions. The expected rate has
decreased in 2012 due to the change in mix of the tax jurisdictions in which
the Group operates. The tax charge for the year is higher (2011 : higher) than
the expected tax charge due to the following factors:

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the earnings
attributable to owners of the parent divided by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the year excluding shares held by the Group's
employee share trusts. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume
conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. The Group has two types
of dilutive ordinary shares - share options granted to employees under
Executive Share Option Schemes and the Long Term Retention Plan; and shares
issuable under the Group's Long Term Incentive Plan. Adjusted basic and
adjusted diluted earnings per share are disclosed to show the results excluding
the impact of exceptional items and amortisation, net of tax.

In accordance with IAS 36 `Impairment of assets', goodwill was tested for
impairment during the year. The impairment tests were carried out against the
Group's Cash Generating Units (`CGU'), being the key Strategic Business Units
(`SBUs') within the three operating divisions, which are aligned with how the
Group manages and monitors performance.
8 Goodwill and intangible assets (continued)
Value-in-use calculations have been prepared for each CGU using the cash flow
projections included in the financial budgets approved by management for 2013/
2014. Cash flows beyond this period are extrapolated using a growth rate of 3%
per annum for a further three year period. A terminal value is applied
thereafter in order to calculate long term estimated cash flows using the same
anticipated long term growth rate of 3% across all CGUs. The growth rate used
does not exceed the long-term average growth rates for the regions in which the
CGUs operate. The cash flows have been discounted using pre-tax discount rates
appropriate for each CGU.

Details of the key assumptions underlying the cash flows are included in
critical accounting judgements and estimates in the Accounting Policies on page
7.
The value-in-use has been compared to the carrying value for each CGU. $1.9m of
goodwill, which relates to a market from which the Group is exiting, has been
written off during the year. $46.2m of goodwill was impaired during 2011.
A sensitivity analysis has been performed on the basis that the expected
long-term growth rate falls to 2% and that the discount rates are 1% higher
than those above in order to assess the impact of reasonable possible changes
to the assumptions used in the impairment review. This analysis did not
identify any further impairment.
In 2011, the goodwill impairment test was performed using budgeted and
extrapolated cash flows for a 20 year period. In addition, the 2011 impairment
test utilised a single discount rate of 10% for all CGUs.
Intangibles arising on acquisition include the valuation of customer contracts
and customer relationships recognised on business combinations.
Development costs with a net book value of $20.8m (2011: $22.9m) are internally
generated intangible assets.

Receivable days are calculated by allocating the closing trade receivables
balance to current and prior period revenue including sales taxes. A receivable
days calculation of 51 indicates that closing trade receivables represent the
most recent 51 days of revenue. A provision for the impairment of trade
receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the original
receivables.

17 Financial instruments
The Group's activities give rise to a variety of financial risks: market risk
(including foreign exchange risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk
and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management strategy is to hedge
exposures wherever practicable in order to minimise any potential adverse
impact on the Group's financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by the Group Treasury department in line with
the Group's Treasury policies. Group Treasury, together with the Group's
business units identify, evaluate and where appropriate, hedge financial risks.
The Group's Treasury policies cover specific areas, such as foreign exchange
risk, interest rate risk, use of derivative financial instruments and
investment of excess cash.
Where the Board considers that a material element of the Group's profits and
net assets are exposed to a country in which there is significant geo-political
uncertainty a strategy is agreed to ensure that the risk is minimised.
17 Financial instruments (continued)
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currencies.
The Group has a number of subsidiary companies whose revenue and expenses are
denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. Where practical, the Group
hedges part of its net investment in non-US dollar subsidiaries by using
foreign currency bank loans. Other strategies, including the payment of
dividends, are used to minimise the amount of net assets exposed to foreign
currency revaluation.
Some of the revenues of the Group's businesses are to customers in overseas
locations. Where possible, the Group's policy is to eliminate all significant
currency exposures on revenues at the time of the transaction by using
financial instruments such as forward currency contracts. Changes in the
forward contract fair values are booked through the income statement, except
where hedge accounting is used in which case the change in fair value is
recorded in equity.
The Group carefully monitors the economic and political situation in the
countries in which it operates to ensure appropriate action is taken to
minimise any foreign currency exposure.
The Group's main foreign exchange risk relates to movements in the sterling/US
dollar exchange rate. Movements in the sterling/US dollar rate impact the
translation of sterling profit earned in the UK and the translation of sterling
denominated net assets.
If the average sterling/US dollar rate had been 10% higher or lower during 2012
(2011:10%), post-tax profit for the year would have been $10.6m higher or lower
(2011: $10.6m). If the closing sterling/US dollar rate was 10% higher or lower
at 31 December 2012 (2011:10%), exchange differences in equity would have been
$48.0m (2011: $28.8m) higher or lower respectively. 10% has been used in these
calculations as it represents a reasonable possible change in the sterling/US
dollar exchange rate.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits and
bank borrowings. The Group borrows in the desired currencies at floating rates
of interest and then uses interest rate swaps into fixed rates to generate the
desired interest profile and to manage the Group's exposure to interest rate
fluctuations. At 31 December 2012, 19% (2011 : 47%) of the Group's borrowings
were at fixed rates after taking account of interest rate swaps.
The Group is also exposed to interest rate risk on cash held on deposit. The
Group's policy is to maximise the return on cash deposits whilst ensuring that
cash is deposited with a financial institution with a credit rating of `A' or
better, where possible. If average interest rates had been 1% higher or lower
during 2012 (2011:1%), post-tax profit for the year would have been $1.9m
higher or lower respectively (2011: $1.3m). 1% has been used in this
calculation as it represents a reasonable possible change in interest rates.
(iii) Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk in relation to its
financial instruments.
17 Financial instruments (continued)
(b) Credit risk
The Group's credit risk primarily relates to its trade receivables. The Group's
operations comprise three divisions, Wood Group Engineering, Wood Group PSN and
Wood Group GTS each made up of a number of businesses. Responsibility for
managing credit risks lies within the businesses with support being provided by
Group and divisional management where appropriate.
A customer evaluation is typically obtained from an appropriate credit rating
agency. Where required, appropriate trade finance instruments such as letters
of credit, bonds, guarantees and credit insurance will be used to manage credit
risk.
The Group's major customers are typically large companies which have strong
credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. Where a
customer does not have sufficiently strong credit ratings, alternative forms of
security such as the trade finance instruments referred to above may be
obtained. The Group has a broad customer base and management believe that no
further credit risk provision is required in excess of the provision for
impairment of trade receivables.
Management review trade receivables across the Group based on receivable days
calculations to assess performance. There is significant management focus on
receivables that are overdue. A table showing trade receivables and receivable
days by division is provided in note 12. Receivable days calculations are not
provided on non-trade receivables as management do not believe that this
information is a relevant metric.
The Group also has credit risk in relation to cash held on deposit. The Group's
policy is to deposit cash at institutions with a credit rating of `A' or better
where possible. 100% of cash held on deposit at 31 December 2012 (2011 : 74%)
was held with such institutions.
(c) Liquidity risk
With regard to liquidity, the Group's main priority is to ensure continuity of
funding. At 31 December 2012, 96% (2011 : 91%) of the Group's borrowing
facilities (excluding joint ventures) were due to mature in more than one year.
Based on the current outlook the Group has sufficient funding in place to meet
its future obligations.
In February 2013, the Group increased its bilateral facilities from $800m to
$950m, with the maturity date being extended to February 2018.
(d) Capital risk
The Group seeks to maintain an optimal capital structure. The Group monitors
its capital structure on the basis of its gearing ratio, interest cover and
when applicable, the ratio of net debt to EBITDA.
Gearing is calculated by dividing net debt by equity attributable to owners of
the parent. Gearing at 31 December 2012 was 6.9% (2011: 0.2%).
Interest cover is calculated by dividing EBITA from continuing operations by
net finance expense from continuing operations before exceptional items.
Interest cover for the year to 31 December 2012 was 35.7 times (2011: 38.8
times).
The ratio of net debt to continuing EBITDA at 31 December 2012 was 0.31 (2011:
0.01).
17 Financial instruments (continued)
The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant
maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the balance sheet date to
the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the
contractual undiscounted cash flows. Drawdowns under long term bank facilities
are for periods of three months or less and are not therefore discounted and
loan interest payable is excluded from the amounts below.

Fair value of non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities
The fair value of short-term borrowings, trade and other payables, trade and
other receivables, short-term deposits and cash at bank and in hand
approximates to the carrying amount because of the short maturity of interest
rates in respect of these instruments. Drawdowns under long-term bank
facilities are for periods of three months or less and as a result, book value
and fair value are considered to be the same.
Details of derivative financial instruments are not disclosed in the financial
statements as they are not material.

Warranty provisions
These provisions are recognised in respect of guarantees provided in the normal
course of business relating to contract performance. They are based on previous
claims history and it is expected that most of the costs in respect of these
provisions will be incurred over the next two years.
Other provisions
At 31 December 2012, other provisions of $65.0m (2011: $75.6m) have been
recognised. This amount includes provisions for future losses on onerous
contracts, a provision for non-recoverable indirect taxes and provisions
relating to the divestment of businesses. It is expected that any payment
required in respect of these provisions would be made within the next two
years.
19 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is calculated in full on temporary differences under the liability
method using the tax rate applicable to the territory in which the asset or
liability has arisen. Deferred tax in relation to UK companies is provided at
23% (2011: 25%).

19 Deferred tax (continued)
There is no deferred tax relating to discontinued activities included within
the credit to the income statement shown in the above table (2011: credit
$4.2m).
No deferred tax is recognised on the unremitted earnings of overseas
subsidiaries and joint ventures. As these earnings are continually reinvested
by the Group, no tax is expected to be payable on them in the foreseeable
future.
The Group has unrecognised tax losses of $192.7m (2011: $147.6m) to carry
forward against future taxable income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are only offset where there is a legally
enforceable right of offset and there is an intention to settle the balances
net. The deferred tax balances are analysed below:-

20 Share based charges
The Group currently has four share schemes that give rise to share based
charges. These are the Executive Share Option Scheme (`ESOS'), the Long Term
Retention Plan (`LTRP'), the Long Term Incentive Plan (`LTIP') and the Long
Term Cash Incentive Plan (`LTCIP'). Further details of these schemes is
provided in the Directors' Remuneration Report.
The charge to operating profit in 2012 for these schemes amounted to $26.2m
(2011 : $19.2m). $19.6m (2011: $16.0m) of the total charge is credited to
retained earnings and $6.6m (2011: $3.2m), relating to the LTCIP, is included
in other non-current liabilities as the LTCIP is a cash settled scheme.
The assumptions made in arriving at the charge for each scheme are detailed
below:
ESOS and LTRP
Around 1,200 employees participate in these schemes. For the purposes of
calculating the fair value of the share options, a Black-Scholes option pricing
model has been used. Based on past experience, it has been assumed that options
will be exercised, on average, six months after the earliest exercise date,
which is four years after grant date, and there will be a lapse rate of between
15% and 20%. The share price volatility used in the calculation of 35%-40% is
based on the actual volatility of the Group's shares since IPO as well as that
of comparable companies. The risk free rate of return is based on the implied
yield available on zero coupon gilts with a term remaining equal to the
expected lifetime of the options at the date of grant. The rate used ranges
from 0.5% to 4.4%. A dividend yield of between 1.0% and 2.0% has been used in
the calculations.
The fair value of options granted under the ESOS during the year was £2.09
(2011 : £1.62). The fair value of options granted under the LTRP during the
year was £6.43 (2011 : £4.94 to £6.38). The weighted average remaining
contractual life of share options at 31 December 2012 is 5.6 years (2011: 5.7
years).
LTIP
The share based charge for the LTIP was calculated using a fair value of £4.12
for the first cycle, £1.81 for the second cycle, £3.01 for the third cycle, £
5.10 for the fourth cycle and £6.18 for the fifth cycle. The charge for market
related performance targets has been calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation
model taking account of share price volatility against peer group companies,
risk free rate of return, dividend yield and the expected lifetime of the
award.
LTCIP
The share based charge for the LTCIP was calculated using a fair value of £7.01
(2011: £6.18). The fair value is calculated using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model using similar assumptions to those used for ESOS and LTRP above.
Payments under the LTCIP are linked to movements in the Group's share price.

Details of the Group's Executive Share Option Schemes are set out in the
Directors' Remuneration Report. Share options are granted at an exercise price
equal to the average mid-market price of the shares on the three days prior to
the date of grant.
687,486 options (2011 : 989,244) were exercisable at 31 December 2012.
1,964,000 options were granted during the year, 1,438,477 options were
exercised during the year and 588,451 options lapsed during the year. The
weighted average share price for ESOS options exercised during the year was £
7.59 (2011 : £6.49).
Options granted to directors under the executive share option scheme are
subject to performance criteria as set out in the Directors' Remuneration
Report. No options have been granted to executive directors since 2009. There
are no performance criteria under this scheme for options granted to employees.

20 Share based charges (continued)
Options are granted under the Group's LTRP at par value. The basis of the
scheme is that an overall bonus pool is calculated annually based on
performance criteria that consider the growth in the Group's adjusted earnings
per share in the prior year. There are no performance criteria attached to the
exercise of options under the LTRP. 145,000 options (2011 : 106,500) were
exercisable at 31 December 2012. 928,500 LTRP options were granted during the
year, 1,279,681 LTRP options were exercised during the year and 325,604 LTRP
options lapsed during the year. The weighted average share price for LTRP
options exercised during the year was £7.51 (2011 : £6.52). Further details on
the LTRP are provided in the Directors' Remuneration Report.
Long Term Incentive Plan
The Group's Long Term Incentive Plan (`LTIP') has been in place since 2008.
Under this Scheme, the executive directors and certain senior executives are
awarded shares dependent upon the achievement of performance targets
established by the Remuneration Committee. The performance measures for the
LTIP are EBITA, OCER (ratio of operating capital employed to revenue), total
shareholder return and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The LTIP awards are
in the form of shares and forfeitable restricted shares. 20% of any award
earned over the three year performance cycle are deferred for a further two
years in the form of forfeitable restricted shares. At 31 December 2012,
4,448,914 shares were potentially issuable under this scheme. Further details
of the LTIP are provided in the Directors' Remuneration Report.

During 2011, the Company purchased 65,911,929 shares at a cost of $675.7m under
the tender offer that formed the first part of the return of cash to
shareholders. $3.6m, representing the par value of these shares was deducted
from share capital and a corresponding amount credited to a capital redemption
reserve (note 24). The total cost of $675.7m was deducted from retained
earnings (note 23). In addition, 4 new shares were issued prior to the
reorganisation of the Company's share capital. The reorganisation of the
Company's share capital resulted in seven 42/7 pence shares being issued for
each existing nine 3â…“ pence shares. During 2011, 1,900,000 new shares were
issued to the employee share trusts.

23 Retained earnings (continued)
During 2012, the parent company received $43.5m (2011: $6.0m) of proceeds from
Group companies relating to the exercise of employee share options under the
share symmetry scheme. This amount was credited to share premium in the parent
company and an equivalent amount deducted from retained earnings on
consolidation.
In 2011, the return of cash to shareholders via the purchase and redemption of
shares and a deferred share dividend resulted in a deduction of $1,758.5m from
retained earnings. Full details are provided in the 2011 Annual Report and
Accounts.
Retained earnings are stated after deducting the investment in own shares held
by employee share trusts. Investment in own shares represents the cost of
11,599,912 (2011: 14,696,669) of the company's ordinary shares totalling
$112.7m (2011: $111.0m). No options have been granted over shares held by the
employee share trusts (2011: nil).
Shares acquired by the employee share trusts are purchased in the open market
using funds provided by John Wood Group PLC to meet obligations under the
Employee Share Option Schemes, the LTRP and the LTIP. During 2012, 1,900,000
new shares were allocated to the employee share trust at a value of $3.2m.
2,718,158 shares were issued during the year to satisfy the exercise of share
options at a value of $6.5m. 2,278,599 shares were issued during the year to
satisfy share awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan.
Exchange adjustments of $5.0m (2011: $1.4m) arose during the year relating to
the retranslation of the investment in own shares from sterling to US dollars.
The costs of funding and administering the trusts are charged to the income
statement in the period to which they relate. The market value of the shares at
31 December 2012 was $137.0m (2011: $146.4m) based on the closing share price
of £7.27 (2011: £6.41). The employee share trusts have waived their rights to
receipt of dividends on ordinary shares.

The Group has used acquisition accounting for the purchases and, in accordance
with the Group's accounting policies, the goodwill arising on consolidation of
$156.7m has been capitalised.
During the year the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Mitchell's
Oilfield Services Inc (`Mitchell's') and 100% of the share capital of Duval.
The acquisitions are not considered to be material to the Group on an
individual basis and therefore have been aggregated in the table above.
The acquisitions of Mitchell's and Duval provide the Group with access to the
oil rich Eagle Ford and Bakken shale regions in the US, strengthening the
Group's capabilities in the US onshore market. The acquired companies will be
in a position to access the Group's wider client base and use the Group's
resources to further grow and develop their businesses. These factors
contribute to the goodwill recognised on the acquisitions.
Provisional fair value adjustments of $57.6m, representing the fair value of
customer contracts, have been recorded in relation to the acquisitions made in
the year.
Adjustments of $7.6m have been made in respect of the provisional fair value
adjustments recorded in 2011 and consequently goodwill has increased by this
amount. These adjustments made are not considered material to the financial
statements and the comparative balance sheet has therefore not been restated.
27 Acquisitions and disposals (continued)
The outflow of cash and cash equivalents on the acquisitions made during the
year is analysed as follows:
$m
Cash consideration 175.9
Cash acquired (5.9)
Borrowings acquired 18.7
Cash outflow 188.7
Included in the cash outflow above are deferred and contingent consideration
payments of $30.4m made during the year in respect of acquisitions made in
prior periods.
The results of the Group, as if the above acquisitions had been made at the
beginning of period, would have been as follows:
$m
Continuing revenue 6,921.2
Continuing EBITA 483.0
From the date of acquisition to 31 December 2012, the acquisitions contributed
$52.1m to revenue and $11.5m to EBITA.
27 Acquisitions and disposals (continued)
Divestments
On 4 April 2012, the Group divested its Aero Engine overhaul business and in
May 2012, the Group completed the disposal of a Well Support business in the
Middle East, the sale of which was agreed at the time of the Well Support
divestment in April 2011. In total, proceeds of $43.0m were received for these
two businesses.
The assets and liabilities disposed of were reclassified as gross assets and
liabilities held for sale in the Group balance sheet at 31st December 2011.
Property, plant and equipment with a book value of $1.3m that was part of one
of these divestments was not reclassified as held for sale at that time as it
was anticipated that the Group would retain ownership of those assets.
Details of the assets and liabilities divested were as follows:

$475.8m. The resulting gain on sale of $2,305.7m was shown as an exceptional
item in the 2011 income statement.

29 Retirement benefit liabilities
One of the Group's pension schemes in the UK, the John Wood Group PLC
Retirement Benefits Scheme, is a defined benefit scheme, which is contracted
out of the State Scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from
those of the Group, being invested with independent investment companies in
trustee administered funds.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the scheme was carried out at 5 April
2010 by a professionally qualified actuary.
The principal assumptions made by the actuaries at the balance sheet date were:
2012 2011
% %
Rate of increase in pensionable salaries 5.00 4.90
Rate of increase in pensions in payment and deferred 3.00 2.90
pensions
Discount rate 4.50 4.80
Expected return on scheme assets 6.27 7.00
The expected return on scheme assets for 2012 is based on market expectation at
the beginning of the period for returns over the entire life of the benefit
obligation. From 1 January 2013, the expected return on scheme assets will be
set at a rate equivalent to the discount rate. The impact of this change will
be to reduce the expected return and thus increase the net finance cost in the
income statement in future periods. The impact in 2013 is estimated to be
$2.4m.
At 31 December 2012 the actuary has determined pension liabilities by reference
to a standard actuarial mortality table which considered UK wide mortality data
relevant to the Group's pension scheme. Those observed mortality rates have
been projected to improve at a specific rate into the future to allow for
established trends and expectations in line with normal actuarial practice.
Specifically, the actuarial table used was PXA00 and improvements were in line
with the long cohort approach with an annual underpin of 1% p.a.
The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are determined as follows:
2012 2011
$m $m
Present value of funded obligations (246.1) (206.7)
Fair value of scheme assets 191.1 160.9

are as follows:

31 Contingent liabilities
At the balance sheet date the Group had cross guarantees without limit extended
to its principal bankers in respect of sums advanced to subsidiaries.
In February 2010, the Group and several other parties were notified of a legal
claim from a customer in respect of work carried out in 2008. Management
believe that the Group is in a strong position to defend the claim. In
addition, the Group is currently cooperating with an investigation in relation
to a facility where it previously provided services. Management do not
believe that it is probable that a material liability will arise from either of
these matters. There has been no material change to the position on these
matters during the year.
