FIRST HALF OVERVIEW
Overall Group first half results were in line with expectations, with the mix of revenues and profits in the half demonstrating the value of portfolio diversity.
The Minerals division first half orders were slightly lower year on year but materially higher than the second half of 2012. Original equipment orders were up sequentially quarter on quarter with good brownfield and plant optimisation project activity somewhat offsetting the expected slowdown in new greenfield projects. Orders and sales of the broader product portfolio grew, alongside continuing productivity and procurement initiatives which supported a divisional margin ahead of prior expectations and demonstrated good year on year growth.
Despite a decline in North American rig count during the period, the Oil & Gas division delivered a performance in line with expectations. Lower original equipment pressure pumping sales were partially offset by a positive first contribution from Mathena and a second quarter of progressive improvement in aftermarket activity.
Strategic momentum in the Power & Industrial division continued with good underlying valves growth in emerging markets. Overall input was down against a prior year period containing substantial one-off contracts. The division continued to invest in capacity and operational initiatives to support the expected higher second half activity levels.
Value chain excellence initiatives supported profitability across the Group, including over £15m of savings in the first half from procurement initiatives.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Order input at £1,258m decreased 5% in constant currency terms and was 7% lower on a like for like basis. Original equipment orders were down 23% (down 21% like for like) impacted by project delays in Minerals and excess frac pump capacity in Oil & Gas. Aftermarket orders were up 9% (4% like for like), with a strong double digit increase in Oil & Gas, and represented 64% of overall input (2012: 55%).
Revenue declined by 11% to £1,198m on a constant currency basis, down 12% like for like. Original equipment represented 37% of revenues with aftermarket revenues accounting for 63% (2012: 46% and 54% respectively). Emerging markets revenues were broadly flat on the prior year with the proportion of total Group revenues from these markets increasing to 37% (2012: 33%).
Operating profit from continuing operations before exceptional items and intangibles amortisation decreased by 12% to £217m (2012 restated to reflect pension costs: £247m) after a net positive currency translation impact of £5m. This performance was driven by reduced profit in Oil & Gas which was partially offset by a 9% year on year increase in Minerals and a broadly flat profit performance in Power & Industrial. One-off costs of £6m were incurred in the period (2012: £3m) of which £2m (2012: £3m) related to acquisition transaction and integration costs. In 2013, the remaining £4m one-off costs related to the closure of two small manufacturing facilities in Oil & Gas. EBITDA was £246m (2012 restated: £271m).
Operating margin was 18.1%, a reduction of 60bps on the prior year (2012: 18.7% and 18.8% on a constant currency basis) with lower margins in Oil & Gas partially offset by stronger than expected margins in Minerals. On a like for like basis, the operating margin was 17.4% (2012: 19.1%), down 170bps, again primarily due to lower margins and a smaller contribution from Oil & Gas.
Net finance costs before exceptional items were £24m in total (2012 restated: £22m) with the increase due to higher net debt following the acquisitions made during the period.
Profit before tax from continuing operations but before exceptional items and intangibles amortisation decreased by 14% to £193m (2012 restated: £225m). Reported profit before tax from continuing operations decreased by 18% to £165m (2012 restated: £201m) after intangibles amortisation of £22m (2012: £18m), with exceptional items in the period of £6m (2012: £6m).
Tax charge for the period of £51m (2012: £65m) on profit before tax from continuing operations before exceptional items and intangibles amortisation of £193m (2012: £225m) represents an underlying effective tax rate of 26.6% (2012: 28.8%), primarily reflecting a lower proportion of US profits.
Earnings per share from continuing operations before exceptional items and intangibles amortisation decreased by 13% to 66.4p (2012: 75.9p). Reported earnings per share including exceptional items, intangibles amortisation and profit from discontinued operations was 56.6p (2012 restated: 69.4p).
Cash generated from operations decreased by 8% before working capital movements to £246m (2012: £268m). Working capital outflows of £63m (2012: £127m) reflected early gains from working capital reduction initiatives offset by shifts in timing of OE projects in Minerals and resultant changes to the profile of advance payment receipts. Cash generated from operations increased by 29% from £141m to £183m representing an EBITDA to cash conversion ratio of 74% (2012: 52%). Net capital expenditure was down 24% year on year at £40m (2012: £53m) with investment in further capacity in the Minerals division and expenditure in Oil & Gas to enable the closure of two small manufacturing facilities and the consolidation of operations into Fort Worth. Free cash flow from continuing operations was an inflow of £8m (2012: outflow of £40m). Outflows in respect of acquisitions were £214m giving a net debt of £950m (December 2012: £689m). On a reported and pro-forma basis, the ratio of net debt to EBITDA was 1.8 times.
Return on Capital employed of 25.2% on a like for like basis was down on the prior year (2012: 30.5%) due to lower profits and an increase in capital employed.
Dividend The Board is recommending an interim dividend of 8.8p (2012: 8.0p) a 10% increase on the prior year, which is in line with previous guidance. The dividend will be paid on 1 November to shareholders on the register on 4 October 2013.

Market drivers
Robust ore production activity continued during the half year with the commissioning of a small number of large greenfield projects supporting volume growth. Sharp second quarter commodity price falls, with copper, gold and iron ore prices falling by around 20%, had a minimal impact on production activity. However, the original equipment market was more challenging. Mining industry capital expenditure fell as activity continues to move from large new greenfield developments to smaller and shorter cycle brownfield and plant optimisation projects. Projects are progressing at a slower rate than prior years with customers taking a more measured approach to investment, leading to project commissioning delays into the second half of 2013 and beyond.
Project activity in Africa, outside of South Africa, was supportive of ongoing greenfield development. In contrast, South America was impacted by materially lower new greenfield activity, although brownfield remained strong. In Australia project activity remained generally subdued due to difficult conditions in iron ore and coal markets. North American hard rock mining markets were resilient, while stronger Eastern European markets offset subdued conditions in Western Europe.
Outside of mining, brownfield activity supported oil sands markets in the absence of new greenfield projects. Power and water market conditions were supportive with a number of projects progressing to the procurement phase during the half year.
Strategic progress
The Minerals division has continued to add capacity to meet growing aftermarket demand for a number of greenfield projects which have still to be commissioned, with the purchase of foundries in South Africa and Malaysia supporting best cost sourcing while the acquisition of R Wales in Canada extends the footprint of wear resistant rubber applications and products. A series of agreements enhanced the platform for growth in the comminution segment of minerals processing, a c.£3bn market for crushing, grinding and screening equipment and services. The division's technology position was further extended with successful trials of new alloys and the launch of new screens technology. Targeted capacity addition and product localisation has supported growth in the division's broad range of ancillary products and services, with investment in additional sales resources. Tight cost control and procurement savings improved operational performance in the period.
Order input decreased by 4% to £700m (2012: £731m), 6% lower on a like for like basis. Input increased sequentially quarter on quarter through the period, with second quarter orders broadly flat year on year. Original equipment orders declined 15%, with second quarter orders showing good sequential growth, as brownfield and non-mining contract wins partially offset further project delays. Aftermarket orders grew 4%, including a good first contribution from R Wales, and were up 2% like for like. Good underlying aftermarket growth, benefiting from the growing installed base, was offset in the second quarter by certain project commissioning dates slipping into the second half and some temporary destocking in South American markets. Aftermarket input represented 62% of the total, compared to 57% in the prior year.
The division continued to gain traction across the broader original equipment product portfolio, further reducing its reliance on the core slurry pump product range. Orders for dewatering pumps and screens were both up over 30%. Notable contracts during the period included a material contract for a Canadian oil sands brownfield expansion, a large pump order in Peru and a landmark dewatering contract for a Queensland, Australia coal bed methane project. Aftermarket input strengthened across a range of commodities with the benefits of a large and growing installed base reflected in 3% order growth in slurry pump spares. Emerging markets accounted for 47% of input (2012: 50%) with orders from Africa rising by 10%.
Revenue fell by 1% to £659m (2012: £668m) and was 3% lower like for like. Original equipment sales were 6% lower and accounted for 37% of revenues (2012: 39%). Production-driven aftermarket revenues increased by 1%, flat on a like for like basis, slightly lower than expectations due to destocking and delays in commissioning certain projects.
Operating profit increased by 7% to £130m (2012: £121m), 5% like for like, as the division benefited from strengthening aftermarket mix and operational improvements.
Operating margin increased 160bps to 19.8% (2012: 18.2%), ahead of expectations, reflecting the strengthening aftermarket revenue mix alongside benefits from continuing business improvement and cost initiatives.
Capital expenditure totalled £23m (2012: £22m) and included investment in service and machining capacity in China and Africa alongside foundry capacity expansion in Europe. Overall spending on research and development of £6m was broadly flat year on year.

Market drivers
Oil prices in excess of $90/barrel remained supportive of ongoing activity levels while a recovery in the US natural gas price towards $4mbtu had no obvious impact on North American upstream markets. In contrast to our earlier expectations of low single digit growth, average US rig count was down more than 10% year on year, and trended progressively lower during the period. The number of wells drilled in the US is estimated to have fallen by around 5% year on year, with continued drilling efficiency gains partially offsetting the fall in rig count. Demand for both pressure pumping and pressure control equipment is primarily related to the number of wells drilled and completed. Oil activity remained broadly flat while gas rigs were down over 40%, reaching 15-year lows. Canadian markets were adversely impacted in the second quarter by widespread flooding, prolonging the spring break well beyond seasonal norms.
Pressure pumping aftermarket activity continued to recover from the impact of 2012 overstocking with customer inventory levels continuing to normalise and frac fleet utilisation increasing towards 80% by the end of the period. Pressure Control markets were down year on year, reflecting the reduction in wells drilled. International interest in shale technologies continued to grow, with increasing activity in China, Russia, the Middle East and Australia.
Increased Saudi Arabian production levels and the continuing refurbishment of Iraqi oilfield infrastructure supported strong services activity in the Middle East. Downstream continued to see good market opportunities in the midstream and FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) sectors, although the core refining market remains subdued.
Strategic progress
The integration of Mathena is progressing according to plan, with the business adding customers, increasing market share, launching new patent pending products and successfully growing its position in the main North American liquid shale plays. Seaboard has launched flowback and zipper manifold product lines in the pressure control markets, with rapid market acceptance of the new offering, and expanded its international wellhead presence. In Pressure Pumping, the differentiated Duralast fluid end was successfully launched with the technology also made available in a stainless steel version, giving the broadest range of long life fluid ends on the market. Lean initiatives enabled the consolidation of Pressure Pumping manufacturing in Fort Worth, with the associated benefits enhancing efficiencies and supporting second half margins.
The Middle East Services business has expanded across the region, winning strategic O & M contracts in Iraq and rotating equipment upgrades and repairs in Saudi Arabia.
Order input at £384m (2012: £382m) was 1% higher and 6% lower like for like due to continued overcapacity in pressure pumping markets. Original equipment input fell 35% against a prior year period including two months of strong demand for frac pumps and other pressure pumping equipment. Aftermarket input was up 27% and 15% like for like, with good sequential growth through the period in pressure pumping, and a strong Services performance.
Pressure Pumping (SPM, Novatech and Mesa) input fell 9% year on year but sequentially was up 25% compared to the second half of 2012. Materially lower original equipment orders were partially offset by good growth in aftermarket orders, with input strengthening through the period as customer inventory levels began to normalise. A notable pick up was seen in orders for Novatech and SPM expendables, benefiting from the comprehensive branch network, dedicated aftermarket sales team and ongoing success of the bundling strategy. Improved lead times following investment and operational improvement has supported the continued growth of the flow control portfolio. Outside North America, international pressure pumping input grew by over 20%. Pressure Control (Seaboard and Mathena) input increased due to a strong first contribution from Mathena. Seaboard input was lower year on year, due to lower end market activity levels and the slight delays in rolling out new product initiatives.
Middle East Services benefited from regional expansion of the core business whilst supportive aftermarket trends and traction in the midstream and FPSO market benefited the Downstream business.
Revenue was 24% lower at £381m (2012: £503m), down 29% on a like for like basis, reflecting the lower opening order book and upstream market conditions. Sequentially like for like revenues were flat with Pressure Pumping sales slightly ahead of expectations but 5% down on a second half of 2012 which was supported by delivery of the residual 2011 order backlog. Original equipment revenues were down by 57%, primarily due to materially lower frac pump sales. Aftermarket revenues were up 10% and flat like for like. Services recorded strong revenue growth in the period.
Operating profit including joint ventures was 34% lower at £83m (2012: £126m) and 46% lower on a like for like basis, reflecting lower revenues and margins. Total one-off costs of $7m (£5m) were incurred in the period (2012 one-off acquisition costs: £3m), primarily due to the closure of two small manufacturing facilities, with production transferred to the main Fort Worth campus. Good profit progression at Service operations and a positive Downstream profit performance also contributed.
Operating margin declined 320bps to 21.8% (2012: 25.0%), down 590bps on a like for like basis and reflecting lower activity levels, higher one-off costs and pricing pressure on legacy fluid ends and OE frac pump orders. Margins across all other Pressure Pumping product lines were in line with expectations.
Capital expenditure of £18m (2012: £23m), including £5m investment to establish a frac flow back and zipper manifold rental fleet at Seaboard. Further investment was made to extend and strengthen the capability of the service network. Research and development investment of £3m was lower than the prior year period, which included test and launch costs for five new products.

Market drivers
US and UK nuclear maintenance and repair markets were positive with increased CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) new build activity in North America, benefiting from the lower input costs of natural gas. Low economic growth and power prices have led to difficult trading conditions in North American coal, hydro and general industrial markets. Nuclear new build activity remains slow. Oil and gas markets have been supportive of control and safety valve activity.
Strategic progress
Valves aftermarket initiatives gained traction in the period, with the growing control valves installed base providing attractive opportunities. Entry to the FPSO control valve market was secured with a number of contract wins. The global valves platform is now well established, with senior leadership appointed at each plant to drive strategic delivery and operational performance to support higher activity levels. Product transfer to Weir International South Korea continues, broadening the emerging market offering. Additional repair facilities have been established in Southeast Asia, further internationalising the power service offering.
Order input was 13% lower at £174m (2012: £199m) against a prior year period containing major one-off contracts for nuclear valves and hydro refurbishment. Original equipment orders were 14% lower as a number of projects were delayed until the second half of the year. Excluding the large H1 2012 nuclear valve contract, underlying valves input was broadly in line with the prior year. Aftermarket input of £87m (2012: £98m) was 11% lower, impacted by the reduction in hydro refurbishment orders. The proportion of orders from power markets was 55% (2012: 59%). Emerging market input increased to 35% of input.
Revenue was only 1% higher at £158m (2012: £157m) due to project delivery delays. Revenues from emerging markets increased by 24%, with strong growth from Weir International South Korea a highlight of a good performance across the valves portfolio, as the division benefits from its increased routes to market.
Operating profit was 1% lower at £12m (2012: £12m) as revenues were affected by project delays and first half investment in operational capability to support second half revenue growth, offset by insurance proceeds on settlement of a prior claim.
Operating margin of 7.5% (2012: 7.6%) was broadly in line with the prior year period.
Capital expenditure of £6m (2012: £11m) included investment in new manufacturing technology in Hydro operations. Research and development expenditure totalled £2m (2012: £1m).
POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
In July 2013 the Group completed the negotiation of a USD 800m 5-year Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of 12 banks. This replaces an existing facility of USD 800m maturing in September 2014.
RISKS & UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the business activities of the Group remain those detailed on pages 44 and 45 of the Annual Report 2012, a copy of which is available on the Group website at www.weir.co.uk. The Board considers that these remain a current reflection of the risks and uncertainties facing the business for the remaining 26 weeks of the financial year.
OUTLOOK
MINERALS
Supported by the opening order book we expect sequential growth in both aftermarket and original equipment revenue in the second half, assuming no further project and commissioning slippages. Divisional revenue growth is expected to be slightly lower than our previous expectations, reflecting revised project delivery and commissioning schedules. Following the strong first half performance, second half margins are expected to be in line with the first half and ahead of our prior expectations, such that full year profit expectations remain unchanged.
OIL & GAS
Full year divisional revenues are anticipated to be slightly better than previous expectations, supported by higher pressure pumping sales, although still down on 2012. Operating margins are expected to be slightly lower year on year, below prior expectations, with second half margin improvement supported by the benefits of first half restructuring actions and increased sales of new higher margin products, offset by the impact of additional sales of lower margin product lines. Divisional profit expectations remain unchanged.
POWER & INDUSTRIAL
Full year divisional revenue, profit and operating margin expectations remain unchanged, with strong sequential second half revenue and margin growth supported by the strong opening order book, and first half investment in operational capabilities.
SUMMARY
We expect the Group to continue to benefit from its global presence and diverse exposure, despite challenging market conditions. The Group is well positioned to take full advantage of the range of opportunities across its end markets in the second half of the year.
We anticipate good sequential revenue and profit growth in the second half, assuming a continued recovery in upstream Oil & Gas and no further deterioration, or project delays, in our mining end markets. As a result we remain on track to meet our full year expectations and continue to expect to deliver low single digit revenue growth and broadly stable margins on 2012.

| Notes to the Financial Statements | ||||||||
| 1. Basis of preparation | ||||||||
| These interim condensed financial statements are for the 26 week period ended 28 June 2013 and have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Group's 2012 Annual Report, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective from 1 January 2013 as noted below and in accordance with IAS34 "Interim Financial Reporting (revised)" as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority. These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors, having considered available relevant information, have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. | ||||||||
| The Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and affected notes have been restated for the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2012 and the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2012, to reflect changes in the calculation of pension costs in accordance with IAS19 "Employee Benefits (Revised)". The net charge to the Income Statement for the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2012 increased by £3.3m, on a pre tax basis, with a tax impact of £0.9m. Operating profit reduced £0.5m due to the recognition of administrative costs, while other finance costs increased £2.8m following the introduction of the concept of recognising net interest on the net defined benefit obligation in place of the interest on the defined benefit obligation and the expected return on plan assets recognised under the original standard. The corresponding impact for the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2012 was an increased charge of £1.4m pre tax, with a tax impact of £0.4m. The restatements were reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and there was no impact on the disclosed defined benefit obligation at either period end. | ||||||||
| The amendments to IAS 1 introduce a grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI). Items that could be reclassified (or recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time now have to be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendment affected presentation only and had no impact on the Group's financial position or performance. | ||||||||
| IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The application of IFRS 13 has not materially impacted the fair value measurements carried out by the Group. IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures on fair values, some of which replace existing disclosure requirements in other standards, including IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Some of these disclosures are specifically required for financial instruments by IAS 34 and thereby affect the interim condensed consolidated financial statements period. The relevant disclosures are reflected in note 11. | ||||||||
| During the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2012, the provisional fair values attributed to the 2011 acquisitions of Weir International and Seaboard, and the 2012 acquisition of Novatech, were finalised. In accordance with IFRS3, the net impact of the adjustments to the provisional fair values has been recognised by means of an increase to goodwill and the adjustments to the provisional amounts have been recognised as if the accounting for the business combinations had been completed at the relevant acquisition dates. As such, all affected balances and amounts have been restated in the financial statements. To this effect, the Consolidated Balance Sheet and affected notes present restated comparative information as at 29 June 2012. There was no impact on the Consolidated Income Statement or Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as a result of the finalisation of the provisional values. Further details of the restatements can be found in note 8. | ||||||||
| These interim condensed financial statements are unaudited but have been formally reviewed by the auditors and their report to the Company is set out on page 26. The information shown for the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2012 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006 and has been extracted, with the exception of the restatement noted above, from the Group's 2012 Annual Report which has been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on the financial statements contained within the Group's 2012 Annual Report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under either Section 498(2) or Section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. | ||||||||
| These interim condensed financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2013. | ||||||||
| 2. Segment information | ||||||||
| For management purposes the Group is organised into three operating divisions: Minerals, Oil & Gas and Power & Industrial. These three divisions are organised and managed separately based on the key markets served and each is treated as an operating segment and a reportable segment under IFRS8. The operating and reportable segments were determined based on the reports reviewed by the Chief Executive which are used to make operational decisions. | ||||||||
| The Minerals segment is the global leader in the provision of slurry handling equipment and associated aftermarket support for abrasive high wear applications used in the mining and oil sands markets. The Oil & Gas segment provides products and service solutions to upstream, production, transportation, refining and related industries. The Power & Industrial segment designs and manufactures valves, pumps and turbines as well as providing specialist support services to the global power generation, industrial and oil and gas sectors. In 2012, the other segments, which were disclosed as Group companies, included the results of LGE Process which was sold on 28 December 2012. | ||||||||
| The Chief Executive assesses the performance of the operating segments based on operating profit from continuing operations before exceptional items and intangibles amortisation, including impairment ('segment result'). Finance income and expenditure and associated interest-bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments are not allocated to segments as all treasury activity is managed centrally by the Group treasury function. The amounts provided to the Chief Executive with respect to assets and liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements.

| On 31 December 2012, the Group completed the acquisition of 100% of the voting shares of Mathena, Inc ('Weir Mathena') for a cash consideration of $247m (£153m) with a maximum future payment of $145m payable over two years. Of this future payable, $120m is contingent consideration and $25m is an employee benefit expense which will be recognised as and when it is paid, based on the ongoing employment of the individuals. The full amount is contingent upon meeting profit growth targets and based on vendor forecasts at the date of acquisition we currently expect that the full amount will be payable. We have discounted the element of contingent consideration over the period in which it is expected to fall due, resulting in a deferred liability of £60m at the acquisition date. Based in El Reno, Oklahoma Weir Mathena is a leading provider of pressure control rental equipment and services for onshore oil and gas drilling applications. The fair values of Weir Mathena are disclosed in the following table. The fair values are provisional pending the completion of the fair value exercise in respect of each class of asset and will be finalised during the second half of the financial year. There will be certain intangible assets included in the £61m of goodwill recognised that cannot be individually separated and reliably measured due to their nature. These items include anticipated business growth, intellectual property, synergies and an assembled workforce. | |||||
| During the period the Group also acquired 100% of the voting shares of the R Wales group of companies ('Weir Wales'), 100% of the voting shares of Aspir Pty Limited in Australia, the business and assets of the Cheong foundry in Malaysia, and a heavy bay foundry in South Africa. The combined consideration for these acquisitions was £54m, with an expected contingent consideration of £2m. The fair values of these acquisitions are disclosed in the table below and are provisional pending the finalisation of the complete fair value exercise in respect of each class of asset for each acquisition. The fair values will be finalised during the second half of the financial year. There will be certain intangible assets included in the £31m of goodwill recognised that cannot be individually separated and reliably measured due to their nature. These items include anticipated business growth, synergies and an assembled workforce. | |||||
