Financial Update

This growth was supported by higher bookings of AUD 17.1 billion, an expanding backlog of AUD 16.9 billion, and contributions across the energy, chemicals, and resources sectors. Underlying EBITA increased by 19% YoY to AUD 823 million in FY25 from AUD 693 million in FY24, driven by higher-margin professional services, disciplined project execution, and cost efficiency, with normalised cash conversion at 94.9% YoY. During the same period NPATA rose by 29% YoY, reaching AUD 475 million compared to AUD 367 million in the previous year.
Business Update
On 20 November 2025, Chair John Grill highlighted the company’s resilience, focusing on safety, sustainability, and disciplined execution. For FY25 the Board declared a 50-cent per share dividend and approved an AUD 269 million share buyback. Sustainability accounted for 60% of revenue. CEO Chris Ashton outlined a strategy to strengthen, expand, and innovate, with investments in digital, AI, and major projects including LNG and critical minerals.
On 27 October 2025, the company was appointed by Rio Tinto to deliver EPCM services for the Brockman Syncline 1 iron ore project in Western Australia, covering a new primary crusher, conveyor, non-process infrastructure, and a temporary camp.
Key Positives and Negatives
In FY25, the company’s gross margin increased to 8.3% YoY from 7.7% YoY in FY24, while the net margin rose to 3.8% YoY from 2.7% in FY24. The asset turnover ratio declined to 1.04x in FY25 from 1.12x in FY24, and the debt-to-equity ratio increased to 0.43x from 0.38x in FY24.
Business Outlook
For FY26, WOR anticipates higher revenue and underlying EBITA, supported by a backlog, disciplined project execution, and cost efficiency. Margins, excluding procurement, are expected to range between 9.0% and 9.5%. FY26 earnings are projected to be weighted more towards the second half of the year due to non-material project cancellations, capability repositioning, and one-off costs, positioning the company for sustained operational efficiency and growth.
The company also plans to continue adopting AI and digital tools to enhance productivity, reduce rework, and improve project outcomes, thereby increasing workforce efficiency and delivering greater value to customers.
