Notes

• EBITDA means earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and is calculated as profit from operations before tax and finance costs adjusted to add back charges for depreciation, amortisation and impairment.

• Net profit (for the group) means profit for the period from operations attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders.

• 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 services and facilities management contracts, the estimated revenue attributable to the lesser of the remaining term of the contract and, in the case of life of field facilities management contracts, five years. To the extent work advances on these contracts, revenue is recognised and removed from the backlog. Where contracts extend beyond five years, the backlog relating thereto is added to the backlog on a rolling monthly basis. Backlog includes only the revenue attributable to signed contracts for which all pre-conditions to entry have been met and only the proportionate share of joint venture contracts that is attributable to Petrofac. Backlog does not include any revenue expected to arise from contracts where the customer has no commitment to draw upon services from Petrofac. Backlog is not an audited measure. Other companies in the oil and gas industry may calculate these measures differently. Order intake comprises new contracts awarded, growth in scope of existing contracts and the rolling increment attributable to contracts which extend beyond five years.

• The group reports its financial results in US dollars and, accordingly, will declare any dividends in US dollars together with a Sterling equivalent. Unless shareholders have made valid elections to the contrary, they will receive any dividends payable in Sterling. Conversion of the 2009 final dividend from US dollars into Sterling is based upon an exchange rate of US$1.5038:£1, being the Bank of England Sterling spot rate as at midday, 5 March 2010.

• Operating profit means profit from operations before tax and finance costs.29
