Oilfield support services titan Petrofac says it is growing increasingly confident of hitting its mid-term target of more than doubling its recurring 2010 group earnings by 2015, after a solid 2011.
Revenue in the year was up by a third to $5.8bn from $4.4bn in 2010. Profit before tax climbed to $680.6m from $668.4m, while diluted earnings per share jumped by a quarter to 157.13 cents from 126.09 cents the year before. The full year dividend has been increased more or less in line with earnings, up 24% to 37.20 cents (23.39p) from 30 cents in 2010.
