OUTLOOK
Outlook – top-line growth & increased profitability
Market:

Recent oil price fall continues to create some investment uncertainty in high cost projects and deep-water
developments

Reduction of large scale new investment opportunities being identified  focus changing to day to day operational
support

Middle East, including India, and Asian Pacific markets still appear solid and likely to remain the drivers going forward

2015 main strategic focus will be on offshore operations and gaining market share from competitors
Micro:

Further expansion of global office network expected in Q2 2015 with opening of 3 new offices in Malaysia, Qatar and
UK to further expand offerings into those markets

Continued focus on maintaining organic growth through recruitment of quality experienced staff and developing
business line deliverables from existing offices

Aim to maintain momentum on marine operations, notably rig moving, in all markets

Upside potential for Mexican operations starting to be realized

Good opportunities identified in China and additional recruitment underway

Short term outlook in Brazil uncertain

Continued focus on working capital developments and credit status of clients
