Robin Watson Chief Executive
“2021 was a challenging year for the Group, with the ongoing pressures of the pandemic, mixed market conditions across our businesses and continued challenges in Projects impacting our performance. Despite this, 我们以积极的势头结束了这一年,订单量不断增长(比去年增长19%),这使我们相信2022年的活动水平将会更高.
我们的建筑环境业务的出售过程进展顺利,我们仍然期望在今年第二季度宣布出售协议. A sale will deliver significant value for our shareholders and help move the Group onto its next chapter.
我们现在专注于此次出售后Wood的未来,以确保我们能够充分利用我们深厚的工程知识和专业知识,在能源安全和可持续性方面抓住未来的增长机会, as we help clients move towards net-zero.
我已经向董事会表示,我认为出售我们的建筑环境业务标志着Wood下一个战略阶段的开始,也是我辞去首席执行官一职的适当时机. 我期待着继续在董事会任职,直到我的继任者到位,我仍然完全致力于我们的业务交付,并实现平稳过渡.”

本集团采用不同的另类业绩衡量标准(apm),让使用者更了解本集团的业绩及盈利趋势. 董事们认为,apm提供了每年一致的业务绩效衡量标准,管理层使用apm来衡量经营绩效、预测和决策. 本集团相信投资者会利用这些数据分析业务表现. 国际财务报告准则并未定义这些资产保值率,在确定计算这些资产保值率所需的调整时,需要进行一定程度的判断. As the APMs used are not defined under IFRS, 它们可能无法与其他公司使用的类似措施进行比较. 它们不能替代国际财务报告准则下定义的计量.
- Revenue for FY21 includes an exceptional item of $(25.4) million related to Aegis Poland. 收入(不计特殊项目)是贯穿本报告的APM,因为集团认为它提供了更有用的年度业绩衡量标准.
