STAKEHOLDER REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018#

Enhancement of the Group's strategic positioning and earnings potential
The Group's New Strategic Future, which the board of directors of Murray & Roberts ("Board") approved in
2014, has by design brought about a significant change in Murray & Roberts. The Group has transformed from 
being a predominantly South African civil and building contractor, to a multinational engineering and 
construction Group focused on the natural resources market sectors.

The progress made over the recent past years in de-risking the Group, refining its business model and
optimising its portfolio of businesses has allowed focus to shift towards enhancement of the strategic 
positioning and earnings potential of the Group's three business platforms for the longer term. The evolution 
of the Group's strategy in anticipation and response to market dynamics, specifically the cyclicality of the 
natural resources market sectors in which the Group operates, has provided a clear roadmap for shareholder 
value growth in the years ahead. 

This is the first completed financial year of a fundamentally redesigned Murray & Roberts. Earlier in the
year, an independent assessment of the Group's New Strategic Future was commissioned to consider the long-term
viability of the Group's strategic direction. The assessment confirmed the Group's strategic plan and clarified 
the growth priorities for the three business platforms, in support of the Group's market leadership and 
performance aspirations as set out in the Group's Vision statement.

Offer to acquire Murray & Roberts by ATON GmbH ("ATON")
Murray & Roberts' strategic direction and portfolio of businesses have made it an attractive investment.
During the financial year an offer was made by ATON to procure control of Murray & Roberts, through its 
formal offer to the remaining shareholders to acquire all their shares in Murray & Roberts at R15 per share. 
An independent committee of the Board was constituted to respond to the ATON offer ("Independent Board"), and
recommended that shareholders reject the offer as it was below the fair price range for control, which was 
considered to be in the range of R20 to R22 per share, as determined by the Independent Board. 

ATON increased its investment in the Group to some 44% from around 30%. Exceeding 35% triggered the Companies Act
requirement to make a mandatory offer to all shareholders. This offer was made on 2 July 2018 at R17 per 
share, subject to certain conditions. The offer will remain open to shareholders for acceptance for no 
less than 10 business days after the offer is declared unconditional in all respects.

The Group's strategic aspirations and ATON's investment objectives in relation to Murray & Roberts are not
aligned. This has resulted in the Group's aspirations, which includes making strategic acquisitions and repurchasing
its own shares, being impeded. The Group remains open to engage with ATON to clarify its intentions with 
Murray & Roberts and to seek alignment on the Group's strategic direction.

Potential transaction with Aveng
The potential combination of Murray & Roberts and Aveng, an opportunity which the Group was considering
since the fourth quarter of 2017, was announced in May 2018. The proposed combination of Murray & Roberts' 
Oil & Gas and Underground Mining platforms with Aveng's McConnell Dowell (infrastructure) and Moolmans 
(mining) businesses was compelling and would have established Murray & Roberts as a significant 
multinational engineering and construction group. 

The Group obtained the requisite approvals from the Takeover Regulation Panel and our shareholders to further
develop this transaction. The Takeover Special Committee then overturned the Takeover Regulation Panel
approval and ruled that Murray & Roberts may not develop the potential transaction whilst the ATON mandatory
offer remains in place. 

As part of Aveng's recent rights offer, ATON acquired 25.42% of Aveng's equity, thereby
establishing negative control of Aveng. ATON was not supportive of the combination of Murray & Roberts 
and Aveng, and with its shareholding in Aveng it has the ability to block any such combination.

Following these developments, the Murray & Roberts Board withdrew from the potential Aveng transaction in
early August 2018.

FINANCIAL REPORT
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue from continuing operations increased by 2% to R21,8 billion (FY2017: R21,4 billion) and attributable
earnings increased by 456% to R267 million (FY2017: R48 million). Diluted continuing headline earnings per
share ("HEPS") increased by 56% to 112 cents (FY2017: 72 cents). Cash, net of debt, increased to R2 billion 
(30 June 2017: R1,8 billion). 

Capital expenditure for continuing operations for the year was R436 million (FY2017: R511 million) of which
R358 million (FY2017: R395 million) was for expansion and R78 million (FY2017: R116 million) for replacement.
The order book for continuing operations increased by 12% to R30,1 billion (30 June 2017: R26,9 billion). 

The high effective taxation rate of 36% (FY2017: 36%) is due to profits earned in higher tax jurisdictions,
foreign withholding taxes and losses incurred in the Middle East, a tax free jurisdiction.

The Group continues to focus on cost reduction and operational excellence to improve profitability.

Dividend
Considering the Group's strong cash position, the Board resolved to increase the gross annual dividend 
to 50 cents per ordinary share (FY2017: 45 cents). The dividend will be subject to the dividend tax rate 
of 20%, which will result in a net dividend of 40 cents per share to those shareholders who are not 
exempt from paying tax on dividends. The dividend has been declared out of income reserves. 

The number of shares in issue as at the date of this declaration is 444 736 118 and the Company's tax
reference number is 9000203712.

Revenue increased to R8,5 billion (FY2017: R6,7 billion), primarily due to scope growth on the Ichthys and
Wheatstone projects. In a competitive market with extreme pressure on margins, operating profit came in at 
R209 million (FY2017: R217 million) notwithstanding the increase in revenue. The order book increased to 
R6,4 billion (30 June 2017: R5,2 billion), comprising a diverse portfolio of new work, mainly in 
complementary markets. Meaningful growth off this low base is expected as market confidence gradually 
returns and global energy producers start investing in new projects.

The crude oil price has stabilised above US$70 per barrel and global Liquid Natural Gas ("LNG") markets are
expected to remain in oversupply until 2021. Currently, there is limited immediate opportunity for new LNG 
developments in Australia. However, new supply capacity must be developed in the near term to meet LNG 
forecast demand as from 2021/22. The platform is targeting potential LNG projects in Australia, Canada, 
Mozambique and Papua New Guinea.

The hook-up and commissioning ("HUC") works for the Chevron-operated Wheatstone project were extended during
FY2018, with successful close-out in June 2018. Strong execution continued on the central processing facility
and floating production, storage and offloading facility for the INPEX-operated Ichthys LNG project. Projects
are expected to extend into the first half of FY2019 as Ichthys moves towards first gas.

Considering the soft oil and gas market, Clough has extended their services into complementary growth
markets such as Australia's metals & minerals and infrastructure markets. In FY2018, the platform secured
significant projects with BHP and Alcoa in Australia and with Rio Tinto in Mongolia. These projects confirm 
the platform's ability to secure projects in complementary markets, due to its large project execution 
capability.

Extending the platform's service offering to complementary markets with active investment programmes 
is critical for growing earnings and mitigating exposure to the cyclicality of the resources sector. 
The capital expenditure on infrastructure in Australia is forecast to be more than 10 times the oil and 
gas spend over the next five years (a funded project portfolio of A$370 billion over the next 10 years). 
An office has been established in Sydney, to pursue these opportunities on a selective basis.

The platform's international operations outside Australasia comprise small niche engineering and consulting
businesses. Progress is being made with a potential acquisition of a relatively small oil and gas engineering
and construction company in the USA, which will enable the platform to extend its services to the growing oil 
and gas sector in the USA.

Revenue and operating profit came in at R8,0 billion (FY2017: R8,0 billion) and R471 million 
(FY2017: R464 million) respectively. Excellent performance by Cementation Africa, was largely offset by a 
decline in margins in Australasia as a result of the non-extension of a contract on a major project.
The platform order book increased to R22,1 billion (30 June 2017: R17,5 billion), with project awards 
across all jurisdictions during the second half of the year. 

The financial performance was impacted by mining companies continuing to focus on cash preservation, 
which limited the number of new mine project opportunities. This result was largely underpinned by the 
platform's success in securing ongoing infrastructure replacement and development projects (a function 
of 'stay-in-business' capital spending by mining companies), as well as contributions from contract 
mining work.

Recently completed and current projects include the construction or rehabilitation of 20 vertical shafts 
and some 30 decline shaft projects in Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Mongolia, South Africa, USA and Zambia. 
The platform has contract mining projects in Australia, Canada, Indonesia, South Africa and the USA and 
is pursuing new contract mining opportunities primarily in South Africa and the USA.

Competitive advantage is gained through the collaboration between Group companies. RUC Cementation Mining in
joint venture with Clough from the Group's Oil & Gas platform were supported by Cementation Canada and Murray
& Roberts Cementation in the recent award of the 1 000m deep twin shafts at Rio Tinto's Oyu Tolgoi copper
mine in Mongolia.

Exploration is at its highest level in six years and mining equipment delivery times are extending. These
key lead indicators suggest that the industry has moved into an upturn. In countries and regions where current
mining activity is high, there is a large investment pipeline of underground mining projects which is expected
to expand. The platform is well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities and most key commodities
are represented in the current portfolio of projects.

Revenue, operating profit and the order book decreased to R4,8 billion (FY2017: R5,9 billion), R134 million
(FY2017: R171 million) and R1,5 billion (30 June 2017: R3,7 billion) respectively. This overall reduction 
is due to the phased completion of the Medupi and Kusile mega projects, which for the last seven years 
underpinned the platform's financial performance.

In anticipation of the completion of Medupi and Kusile, the platform's overhead function was restructured to
prepare it for a lower revenue base, without compromising its capacity to deliver on its strategic objectives
and to pursue new work. 

The power sector in South Africa is presenting limited opportunity and the Baseload Coal Independent Power 
Producer Procurement Programme continues to be delayed. In response to the limited opportunities in the power 
plant Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") sector, the platform is proactively targeting the 
broader power sector by pursuing power plant repair and maintenance work in South Africa and high voltage 
transmission and distribution projects in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

In the complementary oil and gas market, the primary focus is to support Sasol's operations at Secunda with
structural, mechanical and piping construction services. The successful completion of an EPC fuel storage
project in Takoradi Port, Ghana, has created opportunities in refined products storage facilities. During the
year, Murray & Roberts Ghana Limited obtained its petroleum commission licence, which will provide access to
projects in Ghana's developing upstream sector.

Murray & Roberts Water is in its sixth year of operation but remains sub-scale, although it is well
positioned to service the water and wastewater treatment sector. During the year, an Organica Water Reclamation
Demonstration Plant was erected and commissioned at the Verulam Wastewater Treatment Plant, to showcase this
innovative technology. As growth in the water sector is expected to flow from the wastewater treatment sub-sector, 
it is expected that this technology could bring the necessary scale to this business. During the year the
Aquamarine business performed well with supply of containerised water treatment plants to hospitals, industrial 
and agricultural users specifically in response to the water crisis in the Western Cape.

Investments
Murray & Roberts increased its investment in the Bombela Concession Company to 50%, by acquiring an
additional 17% during the first half of the year. This investment yields strong cash returns and the fair 
value adjustment for the year increased to R278 million (FY2017: R253 million). The prior period included a 
profit of R166 million in the Bombela Civils Joint Venture, following the Gautrain dispute resolution. 
Income from equity accounted investments increased to R21 million (FY2017: R7 million), largely from the 
Group's minority shareholding in the Bombela Operating Company which was sold in the current financial year. 

The Group continues to explore similar opportunities that could secure project work for its three business
platforms.

Middle East Business 
In FY2016 the Board decided to close the business in the Middle East as part of the Group's strategic
decision to exit the civil engineering and building market. Current year losses in the Middle East of R34 million
(FY2017: R568 million) relate to overhead costs and legal fees associated with the Dubai Airport claim.
All projects are substantially completed and are expected to be handed over by December 2018. The arbitration
ruling for the Dubai Airport claim has been delayed to no later than 4 November 2018.

The loss from discontinued operations for the year was R278 million (FY2017: R253 million). This includes an
operating loss of R128 million incurred by Genrec, prior to its disposal on 1 May 2018. The balance of the
loss includes a R141 million reduction on retained assets and liabilities associated with the disposal of the
Infrastructure & Building business in FY2017, mainly due to an unfavourable claim settlement.

HEALTH AND SAFETY 
The Board deeply regrets the passing away of Hendry Munardi (49), a RUC Cementation (Australia) employee, on 
17 October 2017. Hendry passed on due to asphyxiation while performing his duties at the Big Gossan mine 
in Freeport (Indonesia). 

The Group's LTIFR, which remains industry leading, deteriorated to 0.86 (FY2017: 0.52). 
The Oil & Gas platform reported LTIFR of 0.14 (FY2017: 0.25), the Underground Mining platform reported 
1.89 (FY2017: 1.23) and the Power & Water platform reported 0.12 (FY2017: 0.43)

The Group is encouraged by the positive trends noted in a number of areas of its safety programme, 
including improvements on many of the lead indicators and record safety performances by a number of 
its businesses.

UPDATE ON THE GROUP'S CLAIMS PROCESSES
Uncertified revenue as at the end of the financial year increased to R1,3 billion (FY2017: R0,9 billion),
largely represented by claims on projects in the Middle East and the remainder in the Power & Water platform. 

GRAYSTON PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE TEMPORARY WORKS COLLAPSE - UPDATE
The Department of Labour instituted a Section 32 Inquiry ("Inquiry") in November 2015 into this incident to
determine the cause or causes of the collapse of the temporary works structure. The Board would welcome an
expeditious conclusion to this Inquiry.

PROSPECTS STATEMENT
Considering current market expectations, the Group is confident that its growth plans for the next
three-year planning period are achievable. Cost management will continue to be a focus and all platforms 
are targeting levels of overhead costs of about 6% of revenue, through the commodity cycle.

Each of the Group's three business platforms are at different stages in their strategic development and they
continue to diversify their specialist service offerings, to increase growth and margin opportunity and to
mitigate risk across different international regions and phases of the project life cycle.

With a well-refined business model and strategy, and a focused portfolio of quality business assets, the
Group is committed to drive sustainable growth and earnings improvement. The Group's robust financial 
position provides the capacity to support its growth plans.

NOTES
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Group operates in the mining, oil & gas and power & water markets and as a result the revenue is not
seasonal in nature but is influenced by the nature of the contracts that are currently in progress. Refer to
commentary for a more detailed report on the performance of the different operating platforms within the Group.

The provisional summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 have been
prepared in compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, the framework concepts and the
measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the minimum
requirements of the International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, SAICA Financial
Reporting Guidelines as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and the Financial Pronouncements as issued 
by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 ("Act"). These provisional
summarised consolidated financial statements and full set of consolidated financial statements were compiled under
the supervision of DF Grobler (CA)SA, Group financial director and have been audited in terms of Section 29(1)
of the Act and signed by the directors on 29 August 2018.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these results are in
accordance with IFRS and are consistent in all material respects with those used in the audited consolidated 
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. There have been no new Standards and Interpretations 
applied in the current financial year.

The external auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued their opinion on the Group's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2018. The audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards

the consolidated financial statements and provisional summarised consolidated financial statements. These
provisional summarised consolidated financial statements have been derived and are consistent in all material
respects with the Group's consolidated financial statements. Copies of their audit reports on the consolidated
financial statements and on these provisional summarised consolidated financial statements are available for
inspection at the Company's registered office. Any reference to future financial performance included in this
announcement has not been audited and reported on by the Group's external auditors. The auditor's report does not
necessarily report on all of the information contained in this announcement. Shareholders are therefore

12 The Group concluded the acquisition of a further 17% in the Bombela Concession Company (RF) Proprietary 
   Limited ("BCC") for an adjusted purchase price of R357 million in December 2017 (original purchase price 
   of R405 million adjusted for dividends declared and interest from 1 October 2017). The Group's investment 
   in BCC has therefore increased to 50%. Post the transaction, the investment is still reflected at fair 
   value through profit or loss, as the investment meets the requirement of IAS 28.18 with regards to venture 
   capital organisations or similar entities, as the transaction does not result in a change of control.

   The fair value of BCC is calculated using discounted cash flow models and a market discount rate of 18.5% 
   (FY2017: 18.5%). The discounted cash flow models are based on forecast patronage, operating costs, 
   inflation and other economic fundamentals, taking into consideration the operating conditions experienced 
   in the current financial year. The future profits from the concession are governed by a contractual 
   agreement and are principally based on inflationary increases in the patronage revenue and operating 
   costs of the current financial year.                                 

   A once off fair value gain of R50 million (FY2017: R100 million) was recognised following an amendment 
   in the operating company fee structure due to a non-recurring event in each of the respective years 
   which has resulted in a reduction of the fee payable to the operator. The reduction in the operator 
   fee is a cost input in the fair value model which resulted in a corresponding increase in the fair 
   value of the investment.                                

   Operating cost includes an operating fee that is payable to the Bombela Operating Company Proprietary 
   Limited ("BOC"), the company responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Gautrain. The fee 
   payable to BOC is subject to annual inflationary increases. The contract is subject to review every 
   fifth year where increases of more than inflation are considered. An annual operating fee increase 
   of 1% above inflation will result in a decrease in the value of the concession investment of 
   approximately R9,0 million (FY2017: R17,7 million).                                

   Operating cost also includes a Railway Usage Fee ("RUF") which constitutes a fee for the use of the 
   system owned by Gauteng province. The fee is 50% of the concessionaires excess free cash flow above 
   a 18% real rate of return. The fee reduces to 35% should the concessionaire comply with certain 
   Socio Economic Development ("SED") obligations. Historically the SED obligations have been achieved 
   and the valuation is based on the SED obligations being achieved. If these obligations are not 
   achieved, then the result would be a decrease in the value of the concession investment of 
   R301 million (FY2017: R191 million).                                

   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. Due to the predictable nature of revenue it is not considered to be a significant 
   unobservable input and therefore no quantitative information is provided.

   A decrease of 1% in the discount rate would result in an increase in the value of the concession 
   investment of approximately R46,2 million (FY2017: R31,2 million).                                

8. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Group is from time to time involved in various disputes, claims and legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. The Group does not account for any potential contingent liabilities where a
back-to-back arrangement exists with the clients or subcontractors and there is a legal right to offset 
(R2,3 billion). The Board does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending proceeding or claims 
against the Group will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or future of the Group.

                                                                                        30 June        30 June

Update on the Group's claim processes
Uncertified revenue as at the end of the financial year increased to R1,3 billion (FY2017: R0,9 billion),
largely represented by claims on projects in the Middle East and the remainder in the Power & Water platform. 

Grayston Pedestrian Bridge Temporary Works Collapse - Update
The Department of Labour instituted a Section 32 Inquiry ("Inquiry") in November 2015 into this incident to
determine the cause or causes of the collapse of the temporary works structure. The Board would welcome an
expeditious conclusion to this Inquiry.

9. IMPLEMENTATION OF IFRS 15 (REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS) AND IFRS 9 (FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS)
In the 2019 financial year IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 will be implemented, as they are applicable to financial years
commencing on or after 1 January 2018.

The Group has decided that it will apply the modified retrospective approach to transition from existing
IAS's to IFRS 15 and IFRS 9. Therefore comparatives will not be restated. The cumulative effect of initially
applying IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 will be an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of
initial application, being 1 July 2018. 

IFRS 15:56 states that variable consideration should only be included in the transaction price, when
recognising revenue, to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur 
when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. IFRS 5 defines 
"highly probable" as "significantly more likely than probable", where "probable" means "more likely than 
not" (IFRS 5: Appendix A).

Uncertified claims and variations of R1,3 billion (FY2017: R914 million) are disclosed separately under
amounts due from contract customers (note 6) in the statement of financial position. These claims and 
variations are yet to be finalised and may be subject to arbitration and/or negotiations. IFRS 15 will 
result in the delayed recognition of variable consideration until such time that it is not highly 
probable that the revenue will not be reversed when the uncertainty is resolved.

The cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 is currently estimated to be between R 0,7 billion 
and R 1,0 billion as at 1 July 2018. The estimated IFRS 15 adjustment consists mostly, but not entirely, 
of the R1,3 billion uncertified revenue disclosed separately under amounts due from contract customers 
(note 6) in the statement of financial position. The IFRS 15 adjustment relates mainly to amounts in the 
Middle East and the Power & Water platforms. The Group remains confident that post the implementation 
of IFRS 15 the uncertified claims and variations will be recognised at a later date, once the uncertainty 
has been resolved.

The impairment requirements under IFRS 9 are based on an expected credit loss ("ECL") model that replaces
the IAS 39 incurred loss model.

The cumulative effect of initially applying the ECL model to assess impairments of receivables in IFRS 9 is
currently estimated to be less than R150 million.

10. DIVIDEND
A gross annual dividend, relating to the 30 June 2018 financial year, of 50 cents per share was declared in
August 2018. In line with the approved dividend policy, the board of directors will only consider paying an
annual dividend.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There have been no significant changes to the nature of related party transactions since 30 June 2017 or 
any transactions outside the normal course of business.
