1 The reduction is mainly due to subdued markets, primarily in the Oil & Gas sector.
2 The decrease is primarily due to a profit (trading and disposal) of R422 million on discontinued operations
included in FY2014 and not repeated in FY2015.
3 The reduction is mainly due to the repayment of advance payments and acquisition funding.
4 The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in the Oil & Gas platform order book, partly offset by new awards in
Underground Mining.
SALIENT FEATURES
- Lost time injury frequency rate improved to 0.79 (June 2014: 0.80). Regrettably four fatal incidents
(June 2014: 4) were reported.
- Revenue from continuing operations of R30,6 billion (June 2014: R36 billion). The reduction is mainly due
to subdued markets, primarily in the Oil & Gas sector.
- Diluted continuing HEPS of 201 cents (June 2014: 205 cents).
- Attributable earnings of R881 million (June 2014: R1 261 million). The decrease is primarily due to a profit
(trading and disposal) of R422 million on discontinued operations included in the FY2014 results and not repeated
in FY2015 results.
- Net cash of R1,4 billion (June 2014: R1,8 billion). The reduction is mainly due to the repayment of advance
payments and acquisition funding.
- Dividend of 50 cents per ordinary share (June 2014: 50 cents per ordinary share).
- NAV R15 per share (June 2014: R13 per share).
- Order book of R38,3 billion (June 2014: R40,9 billion). The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in the
Oil & Gas platform order book. The Group is constantly adjusting its cost structures according to market
requirements.
- The two internationally focussed platforms, Oil & Gas and Underground Mining, contributed 94% of earnings before
interest and tax.
- Continued growth in the Underground Mining platform order book, which includes the award of R4,8 billion
Kalagadi Manganese and R3 billion Booysendal contracts.
A NEW STRATEGIC FUTURE – ACHIEVING OUR 2020 VISION
The Group’s strategic objectives are:
- Grow profitability and cash flows;
- Focus on international natural resource market sectors;
- Diversify business model into higher margin segments;
- Deliver project and commercial management excellence;
- Enhance the safety, performance and diversity of our people; and
- Enhance shareholder value.
The Group’s four business platforms, Oil & Gas, Underground Mining, Power & Water and Infrastructure
& Building, deliver services across the project value chain to their respective clients, giving them
regional, as well as international exposure in the opportunities they pursue.
The Group’s strategy is to change its business model by enhancing its specialist engineering, commissioning
and asset support capabilities to complement its construction activities. These services yield higher margins
and carry lower risk than services provided in the construction segment of the project value chain.
The Group will continue to pursue opportunities in the global natural resources market sectors. Currently,
internationally focussed platforms (Oil & Gas and Underground Mining) contribute 63% of revenue and 94% of earnings
before interest and tax (before corporate costs).
FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
A subdued global economy, weak demand and a slump in commodity prices, especially oil, weighed on the Group’s
financial result. Against this background, the Group did well to maintain earnings broadly in line with the previous
financial year and is constantly adjusting its cost structures according to market requirements.
Revenue from continuing operations decreased to R30,6 billion (June 2014: R36 billion) and attributable profit of
R881 million was recorded (June 2014: R1 261 million, which included R422 million from discontinued operations).
Diluted headline earnings per share from continuing operations was 201 cents (June 2014: 205 cents).
The Group ended the financial year with a net cash balance (net of interest bearing debt) of R1,4 billion (June
2014: R1,8 billion). The reduction is mainly due to advance payments not being replaced and acquisition funding.
The Group’s order book at year end was R38,3 billion (June 2014: R40,9 billion). The reduction was mainly due to a
decrease in the Oil & Gas platform order book, which was partly offset by an increase in the Underground Mining
platform order book, primarily due to the awards of the R4,8 billion Kalagadi Manganese and R3 billion Booysendal
projects.
Capital expenditure for the financial year was R425 million (June 2014: R961 million) of which R290 million (June
2014: R671 million) was for expansion and R135 million (June 2014: R290 million) for replacement. Underground Mining
incurred the bulk of the expansion capital expenditure, all of which is project related.
The effective taxation rate decreased to 18.4% (June 2014: 33.8%) due to the utilisation of tax losses. Deferred
taxation assets were not raised on all taxation losses within the Group.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: The significant fall in the oil price had an immediate impact on the platform’s business.
Clients moved to reduce project scope, renegotiate contract prices and defer longer-term investment decisions, both
in Australia and internationally. The financial result should be considered against this background.
Revenue and operating profit reduced to R11,8 billion (June 2014: R17,5 billion) and R838 million (June 2014:
R1 026 million) respectively and the platform’s operating margin improved to 7% (June 2014: 6%), the top-end of the
Group’s aspirational margin range, whilst the order book decreased to R8,4 billion (June 2014: R16,7 billion).
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE: Major works were successfully completed on various projects in Australasia. In Australia,
as the Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) construction boom draws to an end, the future work stream has returned to a
more conventional profile, representing projects of shorter duration and reduced value. This order book impact is
buffered by the platform’s market-leading share of the growing commissioning market in Australia.
The commissioning business, e2o, continued its strong growth trajectory, performing work for the Gorgon, Wheatstone,
Ichthys, APLNG and Gladstone LNG projects, with revenues growing by 92% in the year under review.
Two small engineering services companies were acquired during the financial year. The US-based CH-IV International
grew in line with expectation, securing significantly larger contracts than prior to the acquisition, including two
owners’ engineering contracts for US LNG projects, Magnolia and Freeport. Scotland-based Booth Welsh, also continued
to grow, primarily due to increased work for existing customers.
During the year, the BAM Clough joint venture, providing marine design and construction services to the Australian
and Papua New Guinea markets, completed three major jetty projects. The Clough AMEC joint venture, providing
brownfields services, successfully completed scheduled shutdowns during the financial year.
OUTLOOK: The platform will continue to focus on expanding its Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”)
services to new growth regions, particularly North America and Africa. The Commissioning and Brownfields division
will target the developing Australian brownfields market, which is expected to grow to a US$5 billion per annum
market as the new LNG facilities become operational.
The Marine design and construction business, as part of the Infrastructure & Marine division, will pursue jetty
projects in Australia and internationally, with significant opportunity to leverage Murray & Roberts’ presence and
reputation in Africa. Expansion into the government infrastructure sector in Australia is also a key focus for this
division, with a number of near-term opportunities being pursued.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: The impact of weak commodity prices contributed to the platform’s weaker performance from
2012 through to 2014. Despite challenging market conditions, mining companies’ ongoing infrastructure replacement
spend to sustain their operations, contributed to the platform’s robust performance in the year under review.
Revenues increased to R7,6 billion (2014: R6,6 billion), and operating profit increased by 59% to R411 million
(June 2014: R258 million). The platform’s overall margin is now within the Group’s target margin range of 5% to 7%.
The order book also showed strong growth to R16,8 billion (2014: R9,9 billion).
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE: Murray & Roberts Cementation progressed its Africa-strategy through its Kitwe office in
Zambia, strengthening its presence in the region and providing a springboard into sub-Saharan Africa. In South
Africa, the challenging Impumulelo Project for Sasol is nearing completion, and the large Venetia Project for De
Beers is performing to expectation.
The award of the Booysendal and Kalagadi Manganese contract mining projects substantially improved Murray & Roberts
Cementation’s order book. Work on the Kalagadi Manganese contract is expected to commence in the second half of
FY2016.
Market conditions in Australia remained tough, particularly for large-diameter raise boring work. Positive
developments included a significant increase in the scope of work at the Freeport project in Indonesia, and the
awards of the Saracen Minerals Karari mine development and Xstrata’s Lady Loretta shaft sinking projects.
Cementation USA, reporting a full order book, continued to perform well at Lundin’s Eagle mine and Rio Tinto’s
Kennecott mine. Despite a soft market, Cementation Canada demonstrated the value of its engineering capability and
project delivery track record by securing the R1,2 billion Compass Minerals Goderich shaft rehabilitation project.
OUTLOOK: Continuing demand for infrastructure replacement work on operating mines, which historically represented
more than 80% of this platform’s work, is being experienced across all regions. There is a large pipeline of
underground mining projects, including new mine developments, and the platform is well positioned with its global
footprint and through its established relationships with top-tier mining clients active in all key commodities, to
benefit from these opportunities as and when the commodity cycle turns.

7 Includes Electrical & Control Systems, Resources & Industrial, Water and Power & Energy non-power programme
projects and Genrec non-power programme contracts.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: Market conditions and operational requirements resulted in a major restructuring of this
platform, previously called Energy & Industrial, and was renamed Power & Water. Two businesses, Murray & Roberts
Resources & Industrial and Murray & Roberts Electrical & Control Systems were merged with Murray & Roberts Power &
Energy, following poor operational performance and their inability to secure meaningful projects in a subdued
market. The platform’s market sector focus has been narrowed to predominantly the power and water sectors.
Revenues decreased to R4,2 billion (June 2014: R4,8 billion), whilst an operating loss of R134 million (June 2014:
R144 million operating profit) was recorded. Profit from the power and water businesses was eroded by business
development costs and project losses in the two now restructured businesses, as well as related restructuring costs.
The order book decreased marginally to R6 billion (June 2014: R6,2 billion), of which 87% relates to the power
programme.
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE: The platform remains dependent on its primary power projects, Medupi and Kusile, where it
is undertaking boiler erection work for Mitsubishi Hitachi Power South Africa. Work was completed on the re-heater
and super heater at Kusile boiler 1 and Medupi boiler 5. Medupi boiler 6 successfully synchronised with the national
grid and is delivering its designed output of 800MW.
In line with its focus on providing repair, operations and maintenance services to the power market, the platform
(through its joint venture with WorleyParsons), undertook planned shutdowns and repairs of industrial boilers in
South Africa, Mozambique, Malawi and Swaziland. The platform successfully completed maintenance shutdowns for
private power station clients in Southern Africa, and will continue to pursue opportunities directly with Eskom.
During the year, Murray & Roberts Water successfully completed the front-end engineering and design work for a mine
water treatment project in Ghana, and provided containerised water filtration units in Kenya. The platform also
acquired a specialist water treatment company, Aquamarine, to further realise water opportunities on the continent,
specifically through Aquamarine’s extensive sales network in Africa.
After having completed the steel fabrication for Medupi and Kusile, Genrec is operating in a market with weak demand
for heavy structural steel. It is extending its product line to the mining sector and successfully completed repairs
on truck load bodies and dragline buckets. During the financial year it also secured several small refurbishment
contracts for the Matimba power station in Limpopo province, which are progressing well.
OUTLOOK: The Department of Energy’s Baseload Coal IPP Programme was announced in 2015 and presents significant
opportunity, which will be pursued in partnership with key technology vendors. The platform is also well positioned
for opportunities in the renewable power sector, such as the Ilanga solar project. Operations and maintenance work
in the power sector is another focus area holding strong potential.
Aquamarine’s containerised water treatment systems, which are capacity scalable and highly transportable, are ideal
for industrial water treatment and will be promoted into African markets.

5 With effect 1 July 2014, Marine is reported under the Oil & Gas platform under Global Marine.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: The platform reported a profit for the second consecutive year under continuing difficult
market conditions.
Revenues decreased marginally to R7 billion (June 2014: R7,2 billion), while operating profit increased to
R205 million (June 2014: R196 million). The core construction business, excluding the Bombela Concession Company
(“BCC”) fair value adjustment, remained profitable. The order book decreased to R7,1 billion (June 2014:
R8,1 billion), but is of a better quality than in previous years due to an improved margin to risk balance.
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE: In FY2015, Murray & Roberts Buildings completed seven shopping centres throughout
South Africa and Namibia. Although its financial performance varied across these projects, it has
established itself in the delivery of shopping centres.
Murray & Roberts Infrastructure delivered a reasonable performance. The local market is presenting several
opportunities for roads projects, although there is limited demand for major civil works, given the low
volume of both public and private sector investment in civil construction. The business is participating
in renewable energy projects and has been awarded the civil subcontract work on three new wind farms,
which have recently achieved financial close.
Concor Opencast Mining has delivered an acceptable operational performance, but is faced with a
constrained market environment with a scarcity of new prospects.
Murray & Roberts Middle East’s Tech 4 Building project in Qatar, involving the design and construction of
Phase 2 of the technology and workshop facility campus, is progressing well and a new hotel project was
secured in Oman. The Mafraq hospital project in Abu Dhabi, has been particularly challenging.
During the year, the platform cautiously re-entered the residential property market with two developments
in progress.
OUTLOOK: The platform is largely dependent on opportunities in South Africa, and meaningful growth is
subject to increased government and private sector investment.
To mitigate against the risk of low margins and a soft construction market, the platform will pursue
select opportunities in the upstream and downstream segments of the project value chain. This will be
achieved through participation in select property development opportunities and projects outside South
Africa.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
The safety of its employees is of specific importance to the Group. Good safety performance is not only a moral
obligation, but it positions the Group as a contractor of choice.
The board of Murray & Roberts (“Board”) deeply regrets the death of four (June 2014: 4) employees (three employees
and one subcontractor) who sustained fatal injuries whilst on duty. The Group’s lost time injury frequency rate
(“LTIFR”) was maintained at an industry-leading level of 0.79 (June 2014: 0.80).
During the new financial year, the Group will be implementing a Major Accident Prevention programme in order to
mitigate fatal risks in its operations.
UPDATE ON THE GROUP’S MAJOR CLAIMS PROCESSES
IN FAVOUR OF THE GROUP:
Gorgon Pioneer Materials Offloading Facility (“GPMOF”) – The claim process has been closed out and the final payment
was received in October 2014. The certificate for final completion is being issued and the guarantees have been
returned.
Gautrain Sandton Cavern Claim – This claim, on its merits, was ruled in favour of the Bombela Civil Joint Venture
(“BCJV”) in October 2013. The quantum award is expected during September 2015.
AGAINST THE GROUP:
Gautrain Water Ingress Dispute – In November 2013, in the dispute between Gauteng Province and BCC, the arbitration
panel ruled in favour of Gauteng Province. The Company raised a provision of about R300 million in the prior
financial year for its share of potential construction costs to be incurred by the BCJV (Murray & Roberts
shareholding of 45%). The extent of any other potential financial impact, if any, related to the matter is yet to be
determined. Various matters between the parties, relating to the arbitration award, remain unresolved and will be
heard in court. Consequently, the timing of any future work is uncertain.
IN ARBITRATION:
Gautrain Delay & Disruption Claim – The legal process in this multi-billion rand claim is progressing. Due to the
complexity of this arbitration, the initial arbitration hearings were focussed on addressing the legal
interpretation of various clauses in the Gautrain concession agreement.
The Group reported on 8 July 2015 that the first two arbitration rulings (the right to proceed with a claim for
additional costs incurred on two cantilever bridges and to an extension of time and compensation due to late handover
of land) were largely in favour of the BCC. The legal bases of these claims have now firmly been established. It is
important to note that the merit and quantum hearings will only be heard as from the first quarter of calendar year 2016
with financial conclusion only likely the following year. Any award will attract interest dating from 2009 to the
date of award.
Dubai International Airport – The arbitration process for the Dubai International Airport claim is ongoing. A
process of amicable engagement with the Dubai government is running in parallel with the legal proceedings. The
claim is expected to be resolved during the 2016 calendar year.
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
The Board has considered and approved a new dividend policy. The dividend payment is subject to an annual review as
distributions may be influenced by global market conditions, possible merger and acquisition activity and/or
relative balance sheet strength. In terms of this policy the Board will consider paying an annual dividend, of
between three and four times earnings cover.
The Board has declared a gross annual dividend of 50 cents per ordinary share in respect of the year ended
30 June 2015 and will be subject to the dividend tax rate of 15%, which will result in a net dividend of 42,5 cents
per share to those shareholders who are not exempt from paying dividend tax.
The dividend has been declared from income reserves.
In terms of the Dividends Tax effective 1 April 2012, the following additional information is disclosed:
- The number of shares in issue at the date of this declaration is 444 736 118 and the Company’s tax reference
number is 9000203712.
EVENT DATE
Last day to trade (cum-dividend) Friday, 2 October 2015
Shares to commence trading (ex-dividend) Monday, 5 October 2015
Record date (date shareholders recorded in books) Friday, 9 October 2015
Payment date Monday, 12 October 2015
No share certificates may be dematerialised between Monday, 5 October 2015 and Friday, 9 October 2015, both dates
inclusive.
On Monday, 12 October 2015, the dividend will be electronically transferred to the bank accounts of all certificated
shareholders where this facility is available. No dividend cheques will be paid to shareholders who have not
provided their banking details to the transfer secretaries: Link Market Services. Accordingly, the cash dividend
will remain unpaid until such time as the shareholder has provided their relevant banking details to the transfer
secretary, to receive the cash dividend by electronic funds transfer. No interest will be paid for unpaid dividends.
CHANGES TO THE BOARD
The Group has been fortunate to attract some exceptional independent non-executive directors to our Board.
Ralph Havenstein was appointed to the Board on 1 August 2014, as chairman of the health, safety & environment
committee and is a member of the social & ethics committee. Suresh Kana, was appointed to the Board on 1 July 2015
and is a member of the audit & sustainability, remuneration & human resources and risk management committees.
Xolani Mkhwanazi, joined the Board on 1 August 2015 and is a member of the risk management and health, safety &
environment committees.
Michael McMahon stepped down from the health, safety & environment and the remuneration & human resources committees
during the year, but continues to serve as chairman of the risk management committee and is a member of the nomination
and audit & sustainability committees.
Bill Nairn retired from the Board with effect from 1 January 2015. The Board thanks Mr. Nairn for his
contribution to the Company over the last five years and wishes him well.
PROSPECTS STATEMENT
The Group expects a more challenging FY2016 and the declining order book over the past two years reflects the
reality of a subdued global economy and weak demand for commodities, coupled with low investment in fixed capital
formation in South Africa. Consequently, earnings for FY2016 will come under pressure.
The natural resources market sectors are cyclical and despite more difficult trading conditions expected in the
financial year ahead, the Group is well placed to realise its vision for 2020.
Our balance sheet strength will enable us to extend the success of our bolt-on acquisition strategy, as we grow our
capability to provide services in all segments of the project value chain.
The information on which this prospects statement is based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Group’s
external auditors.

18 The fair value of the Bombela Concession Company Proprietary Limited is calculated using discounted cash flow
models and a market discount rate of 18,5% (2014: 19,5%). The discounted cash flow models are based on forecast
patronage, operating costs, inflation and other economical fundamentals, taking into consideration the operating conditions
experienced in the current financial year. The future profits from the concession is governed by a contractual agreement
and is principally based on inflationary increases in the patronage revenue and operating costs of the current financial year.
Revenue based on patronage is underpinned by the Gauteng Province. The Patronage Guarantee is the difference between
the Minimum Required Total Revenue (“MRTR”) and the Actual Total Revenue (“ATR”) in each month. A decrease of 1%
in the discount rate would result in an increase in the value of the concession investment of approximately R33,8 million
(2014: R35 million).
7. Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities relate to disputes, claims and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business.
The Group does not account for any potential contingent liabilities where a back-to-back arrangement
exists with clients or subcontractors, and there is a legal right to offset.

Gautrain Water Ingress Dispute
During November 2013, in the dispute between Gauteng Province and Bombela Concession Company
(“BCC”), the arbitration panel ruled in favour of Gauteng Province. The Company raised a provision of about
R300 million in the prior financial year for its share of potential construction costs to be
incurred by the Bombela Civils Joint Venture (“BCJV”) (Murray & Roberts shareholding of 45%). The
extent of any other potential financial impact, if any, related to the matter cannot be determined. Various
matters between the parties, relating to the arbitration award, remain unresolved and will be heard in court.
The timing of any future work is uncertain.
8. Business disposals/acquisitions
The Group disposed of the majority of it’s Tolcon businesses’ assets and liabilities effective on
31 August 2014 for a gross consideration of R186 million (R132 million net of working capital adjustments,
transaction costs and other adjustments). Refer to note 3 for additional information.
Murray & Roberts completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of CH-IV International LLC (“CH-IV”) on
6 August 2014, a boutique engineering company based in the United States of America for a
consideration of R57 million. The fair value of the net assets acquired at the date of acquisition was
R34 million. The goodwill of R23 million is attributable mainly to the expertise of the CH-IV workforce
and accessibility to the contracts in the United States of America engineering market. The goodwill is
expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Murray & Roberts completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of BWA (Holdings) Limited (“Booth
Welsh”) on 4 September 2014, a privately owned engineering services company based in Ayrshire,
Scotland for a consideration of R79 million. The fair value of the net liabilities acquired at the date of
acquisition was R17 million. The goodwill of R96 million is attributable mainly to the expertise of the
Booth Welsh workforce and accessibility to the contracts in the European engineering market. None of
the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Murray & Roberts completed the acquisition of the assets, liabilities and business of Aquamarine Water
Treatment (“Aquamarine”) on 1 October 2014, a company that designs, manufactures and installs water
treatment solutions, and offers a complete customised solution, including support for and maintenance
of its installations for a consideration of R28 million. Of the total consideration, R26 million was paid on
the effective date and payment of the remaining R2 million is contingent on certain contractual obligations
being satisfied. Should the contractual obligations be satisfied, R1 million is payable during October
2016 and the remaining R1 million is payable during October 2017. The fair value of the net liabilities
acquired at the date of acquisition was R1 million. The goodwill of R29 million is attributable mainly to
the expertise of Aquamarine’s key management personnel and the synergies expected to be achieved
from integrating the company into the Group’s water business. None of the goodwill is expected to be
deductible for tax purposes.

Impact of acquisitions on the results of the Group
The profit for the year includes an amount of R23 million (CH-IV: R9 million, Booth Welsh: R12 million and
Aquamarine: R2 million) that relates to the businesses acquired during the year. The revenue includes
R390 million (CH-IV: R93 million, Booth Welsh: R272 million and Aquamarine: R25 million) in respect of
the businesses acquired during the year.
The effect on revenue of the Group from continuing operations would have been R470 million (CH-IV:
R98 million, Booth Welsh: R342 million and Aquamarine: R30 million) if the businesses had been acquired on
1 July 2014, and the profit for the year from continuing operations would have been R27 million (CH-IV:
R10 million, Booth Welsh: R15 million and Aquamarine: R2 million).
