Morningstar | Worley Completes Diversifying and Earnings-Doubling USD 3.2 Billion Acquisition of Jacobs ECR.

WorleyParsons is an established provider of engineering and other professional services to the oil, gas, mining, power, and infrastructure sectors. It primarily delivers projects, including engineering, procurement, and construction facets. Hydrocarbons is the largest business, with infrastructure and minerals, metals, and chemicals the balance. A recently completed AUD 4.6 billion acquisition of Jacobs ECR reduces reliance on hydrocarbons to 52% from 75% including downstream, and increased the revenue contribution from chemicals to 23% from 6%. WorleyParsons has a global presence with about 25,700 staff in 42 countries. Extensive professional skills, solid delivery capabilities, global scale, and strong customer relationships saw Worley's earnings balloon during the China-driven resources boom. Returns on invested capital were higher during the boom, but acquisitions detracted.
