Ayman Asfari, Petrofac's Group Chief Executivecommented on the final results:
"Having delivered modest earnings growth and good operational performance in 2013, we begin 2014 in an encouraging position with record backlog, a project portfolio in excellent shape, a strong bidding pipeline and US$3 billion of new awards already secured in the year to date.
"We see significant long-term growth potential for Petrofac and the depth of capability, skills and talent across the Group gives me confidence that we will continue to build on our proven track record this year and beyond. In line with our previous guidance, we expect flat to modest growth in net profit in 2014 and remain confident of a return to strong earnings growth in 2015."
