it is a pleasure to report on a year of 
transformational change and significant 
achievement apr energy is a growth 
business operating in an attractive and 
growing market the value our customers 
place on the largescale rapidly delivered 
power that we provide is reflected in the 
group’s successful new contract wins and 
extensions during the year 
our mobile turbine technology continues 
to be key in winning new customers the 
low emission dualfuel turbines offer 
quick installation greater reliability and 
extended maintenance intervals providing 
maximum operating flexibility the turbines’ 
ability to run on diesel or natural gas also 
makes them available for a broad range of 
applications throughout the world 
the demand for our power solutions across 
our portfolio of technologies and geographic 
regions remains strong this coupled with 
the structural dynamics of the fasttrack 
power market bodes well for the group’s 
continued growth 
during 2013 there were two excellent 
examples that illustrate how we are 
benefitting from the rapidly growing global 
market for largescale power solutions
l 	 we successfully installed and 
commissioned our 450mw project 
in libya providing power to over a 
million people this is the largest single 
contract in the fasttrack power industry 
– a tremendous achievement that was 
successfully executed across multiple 
sites notwithstanding the challenging 
operating environment
l 	 similarly we commissioned and further 
extended our contract in uruguay to 
300mw featuring mobile gas turbines 
our plants are now a critical part of the 
country’s power generation infrastructure
with a diverse pipeline of opportunities an 
experienced management team a capable 
workforce and a focused financial discipline 
the board believes that the group is well 
placed to continue to fulfil its significant 
growth potential
the board provides active oversight 
to support the group in securing key 
opportunities and achieving disciplined 
growth we consider the group’s risk 
appetite and risk management in the 
context of material contracts and extensions 
to ensure that any associated risks 
including concentration risk have been 
fully considered in the case of the group’s 
significant contract in libya this included 
entering into an enhanced credit structure 
backed by a leading uk financial institution 
which affords us the confidence that all 
payments will be recovered in full this 
confidence is reflected by the receipt of 
100 million from our libyan customer since 
the contract commenced representing the 
receipt of all outstanding payments
in october the board was pleased to 
announce and complete our acquisition of 
ge’s power rental business following this 
apr energy became the world’s leading 
provider of fasttrack mobile turbine power 
this transformational transaction allows us 
to move forward rapidly towards delivering 
our objectives
the transaction also offered attractive 
diversification of our revenue base into new 
markets and sectors which we believe 
offer significant potential for the future the 
deal creates a longterm strategic alliance 
with ge providing a dedicated supply 
of new turbines a collaborative business 
development platform and expanded 
access to worldwide support services 
we are excited to be working closely 
with ge whose partnership and equity 
commitment is testament to our prospects 
and vision to be the leader in the largescale 
fasttrack power industry we welcome ge 
as a key strategic investor in apr energy 
and their participation on our board
the board continually strives to achieve 
high standards of corporate governance 
and we believe that the observance of these 
standards is in the best interests of all our 
stakeholders the board comprises high 
calibre individuals who possess the range 
of skills and experience needed to ensure 
quality contribution to our decision making 
we believe that diversity adds significant 
value to the quality of discussion and 
decision making as reflected by the board’s 
composition in terms of both gender and 
international representation
the board believes that moving to a 
premium listing would be advantageous for 
the company and reflects a positive step 
in the company’s maturity the board is 
actively taking steps towards a premium 
listing which it expects to achieve within the 
coming twelve months
in recognition of the board’s confidence 
in the group’s underlying and future 
prospects the directors are proposing a 
final dividend for 2013 of 67p 2012 67p 
per share with the interim dividend of 
33p 2012 33p this results in a full year 
dividend of 100p 2012 100p subject 
to shareholders’ approval at the annual 
general meeting on 20 may 2014 the final 
dividend will be payable on 3 june 2014 to 
shareholders on the register as at 4 april 
2014 the board will continue to maintain 
a regular review of its dividend policy and 
reiterates its intention to pay an annual 
dividend
2013 was a transformational year for 
apr energy and one which we exited 
strongly we have a highly motivated and 
experienced management team and have 
made real progress in advancing our 
strategy to deliver power solutions to our 
increasing customer base where and when 
they are needed we remain confident that 
the group will create significant shareholder 
value in the future

annual report 2013   apr energy  7 
2013 was a year of significant change for 
apr energy and i am pleased to report the 
progress we have achieved
our ability to deploy largescale power 
rapidly combined with our turnkey approach 
and advanced technology provides 
customers with the confidence of having 
reliable power when they need it our ability 
to do this consistently has led to great client 
‘stickiness’ – and our contract renewal rate 
of over 90 in 2013 is testament to that
order intake was strong driven by record 
new contract wins of 740mw 2012 569mw 
and contract extensions of 298mw 2012 
724mw including in uruguay indonesia 
angola and post yearend libya where 
clients not only renewed contracts but 
expanded them at similar pricing
we have focused on delivering a strong 
operational performance with utilisation a 
key target for management across the year 
the group achieved a utilisation rate of 74 
with the commissioning of a number of 
significant contracts during the second half 
and ongoing renewals total fleet utilisation 
increased to 81 at year end this reflects 
a significant improvement in diesel power 
module utilisation and almost full utilisation 
across our turbine fleet demonstrating our 
customers’ desire for this technology
our acquisition of the ge power rental 
business in october 2013 together with our 
new partnership and supply agreement has 
accelerated the pace at which the group 
can address the growing market opportunity 
during the year we continued to invest in 
our power generation capacity increasing it 
by nearly 60 to 2074 mw 31 december 
2012 1311mw through a combination of 
acquisitive and organic capacity expansion 
this investment focused primarily on our 
mobile gas turbines the key technology 
underpinning our strategy as a result of 
this investment our fleet at the year end 
comprised 56 mobile gas turbines 39 
diesel power modules and 5 gas power 
modules 
2013 financial performance 
through a combination of strong order 
book growth and successful project 
execution we delivered a strong operating 
and financial performance our financial 
results for 2013 reflect the inclusion of the 
ge power rental business from the end of 
october
revenue increased 16 to 308 million 
2012 266 million driven primarily by 
new contract wins contract extensions and 
high utilisation levels on an enlarged fleet 
following the commissioning of a number 
of significant contracts during the year 
the timing of these projects becoming 
operational resulted in revenue being 
heavily biased to the second half of the 
year as expected
adjusted ebitda increased 15 to 181 
million 2012 157 million resulting in an 
adjusted ebitda margin of 59 2012 
59 over the mediumterm largerscale 
repeatable projects should benefit from 
operating efficiencies which together with 
the growth of our turbine fleet is expected 
to enhance margins
adjusted basic earnings per share was 
60 cents 2012 68 cents based on a 
weighted average number of shares of 
810 million 2012 782 million shares the 
increase in shares reflecting the 155 million 
shares issued to ge at the end of october 
2013 
during the year the group increased 
its credit facilities to 650 million 31 
december 2012 400 million to provide 
significant liquidity to continue to grow 
our fleet expand our global network 
and quickly respond to the growing 
opportunities in our market including the 
ge acquisition at the year end we had 
grown our total fleet capacity by 58 to 
2074mw 31 december 2012 1311mw 
reflecting the 520mw of additional capacity 
acquired through the ge acquisition and 
313mw of organic capacity expansion 
funded by fleet capital expenditure of 
approximately 290 million
the group’s cash flow reflected these 
high levels of fleet investment and 
increased mobilisation costs together with 
investments in working capital arising from 
the significantly higher activity in the second 
half the timing of receivables and the 
acquisition of the ge business in october 
as a result the group maintained a good 
financial position with yearend net debt 
as announced in the january 2014 trading 
update of 556 million 31 december 
2012 184 million excluding capitalised 
financing fees 
our year end net debt position reflected 
the timing of the receipt of receivables 
including those in respect of libya in the 
case of our libyan project we established 
upon contract signing an enhanced 
credit structure backed by a leading uk 
financial institution through which the 
group receives payment i am pleased 
to report that in recent weeks we have 
seen significant progress  and have 
received 100 million to date from our 
customer in libya reflecting the receipt 
of all outstanding and due payments and 
significantly reducing our current net debt 
position
our provision for bad debts remains at 
a historic low level reflecting a strong 
customer payment record the group’s 
use of letters of credit contract insurance 
policies and up front deposits support 
the receipt of contract revenues 
notwithstanding occasional timing issues 
given the jurisdictions in which we operate
acquisition of ge’s power rental 
business
a key development during the year was our 
acquisition of ge’s power rental business 
and ge’s investment in our company 
through the transaction we acquired 520mw 
of power generation capacity comprising 
five equipmentonly rental contracts in 
australia bangladesh canada iraq and the 
us virgin islands and four noncontracted 
mobile turbines
chief executive officer’s statement
we are pleased with the results achieved in 2013 and believe 
our progress during the year has positioned us well to deliver 
sustainable growth into 2014 and beyond
john campion chief executive officer 8  apr energy  annual report 2013
in creating the world’s leading fasttrack 
mobile turbine business the acquisition 
advances us towards our strategic 
goals strengthening and diversifying our 
business while creating a valuable long
term strategic partnership with ge the 
transaction broadens our revenue base 
and reduces our concentration risk through 
exposure to new geographies and an 
established natural gas footprint
while still early days integration is 
progressing well we have realised our first 
renewal with a twelvemonth extension 
on improved pricing of the 25mw mobile 
turbine contract in the us virgin islands 
we are in discussions with customers in 
bangladesh and iraq whose contracts are 
due for renewal in 2014 we intend to apply 
our standard approach and pricing to these 
contracts transferring customers across to 
our full turnkey offering which we believe 
provides an attractive power solution in 
the event customers do not require this 
full offering or we are unable to reach 
agreement we will seek to redeploy these 
assets onto more favourable terms in line 
with our historic turbine pricing
the strategic partnership with ge gives 
us the ability to collaborate on business 
development opportunities where apr 
energy can offer complementary power 
solutions while permanent ge plants are 
built we have been pleased with the level 
of inbound requests and expect these 
opportunities to develop over the short to 
mediumterm our partnership provides 
access to ge’s manufacturing capacity 
through which we expect to be able to 
support our future growth opportunities 
more efficiently reducing the time between 
order and delivery as well as reducing the 
time between purchasing new turbines and 
their commissioning and hence revenue 
generation 
using our technological  
advantage to deliver sustainable 
growth
we continue to differentiate ourselves by 
offering a broad choice of technologies 
in our fleet with a particular strategic 
focus on dualfuel mobile turbines the 
technology best suited for the rapid 
deployment of large blocks of power 
turbines are an integral part of our growth 
strategy providing a stronger offering 
into more attractive largerscale longer
term projects this technology presents a 
number of advantages to our customers 
its power density ie small footprint
tomegawatt ratio improves speed and 
logistics while providing greater reliability 
requiring less maintenance and producing 
significantly less emissions than its 
reciprocating engine counterparts the 
fuel flexibility of our mobile gas turbines 
provides an additional advantage for the 
customer with the ability to switch quickly 
between diesel and natural gas depending 
on customer needs or preference 
furthermore where gas is available to a 
customer it can significantly reduce the 
generating costs of electricity as well as 
reduce emissions 
our global strategic partnerships with ge 
and caterpillar provide us with reliable 
stateoftheart technology around the 
clock support across the globe and 
beneficial pricing our partnership with ge 
provides the group exclusive worldwide 
rights to offer its mobile turbines within our 
market while deploying capital in a more 
timely manner
risk management
apr energy operates in a market with 
strong structural growth opportunities 
these opportunities often take us to 
challenging parts of the world including 
countries that experience political social 
economic and security instability and 
as contracts become larger longer and 
more complex we recognise the need for 
ever more rigorous risk assessment and 
mitigation
we are committed to creating a secure 
working environment for our people 
while ensuring the security of our physical 
assets and surety of payment we are 
proactive through our contract due 
diligence to address these issues through 
a variety of mitigating actions including 
the purchasing of insurance bonds 
guarantees and cash advances to protect 
both our financial and operational assets 
to mitigate significant receivable risks we 
also enter into enhanced credit structures 
which through the use of letters of credit 
guarantee customer payment 
at times we operate in countries that have 
recently emerged from significant political 
and social upheavals the emerging 
governments often require a period in 
which they establish the administrative 
processes often via committee through 
which they can effectively operate – this 
has been the case in libya our customer 
the state owned utility has been through 
a period of tremendous change and it 
has taken time to establish the requisite 
committees and processes to mitigate 
l creates a longterm strategic alliance 
with ge providing dedicated supply 
for the fast track turnkey power

development platform and expanded 
access to worldwide support services 
subject to existing contractual 
arrangements

in june making this the largest single 
contract in the history of the fasttrack 
power industry 
this 450mw solution provides power 
to more than one million homes and 
helps meet demand during the critical 
summer high heat season as well as 
provide interim power while the country 
continues to rebuild and improve its 
ageing infrastructure the timescale was 
tight – and not without its challenges – with 
commissioning occurring across six sites 
in the peak heat of the summer and during 
ramadan nonetheless we were pleased 
to report that our plants were fully installed 
and commercially operational during the 
third quarter notwithstanding our sizeable 
power contribution libya continues to 
face a chronic and growing structural 
power deficit requiring significant long
term investment to address
we delivered our first crossborder 
agreement a 40mw diesel power module 
solution with the government of mali 
the solution was installed in senegal and 
feeds into the interconnected grid that 
connects mali senegal and mauritania 
we also extended our 70mw diesel 
power module contract in botswana for a 
further twelve months in late december 
our facility in francistown has been a 
key component of the country’s power 
generation infrastructure since 2009 
filling a critical gap in its drive toward 
permanent energy sufficiency as part 
of this renewal we anticipate to sell 
our installed fleet to the client with the 
expected transfer of assets to occur post 
the end of the existing contract in q4 2014 
the sale represents a mutually attractive 
opportunity for the client to supplement 
its owned diesel power modules while 
enabling the group to dispose of older 
technology and legacy equipment going 
forward we will consider the sale of other 
installed assets as opportunities arise
our continued presence in angola 
exemplifies our market approach in 
2012 we established our first project 
in the country a 40mw plant located in 
luanda using diesel power modules 
after building a positive relationship with 
the customer and delivering a strong 
trackrecord of reliability we successfully 
extended the contract for another term 
and expanded our capacity by a further 
40mw doubling our footprint in country 
rather than expanding with more diesel 
power modules the customer specifically 
requested to upgrade to mobile gas 
turbines resulting in one of the firstever 
semipermanent mobile turbine projects 
in subsaharan africa and apr energy’s 
first turbine deal following the ge strategic 
alliance through this relationship we 
have established a strong platform from 
which we hope to expand our market for 
mobile turbine generation solutions across 
the region
oman’s hot summer season puts heavy 
demand on the country’s power grid from 
may to august causing intermittent power 
outages for the second consecutive 
summer we provided power to meet 
this seasonal demand facilitated by our 
modular system and supported by our 
regional hub in dubai the group’s 32mw 
plant in oman was operational in under two 
weeks
asia pacific
indonesia represents one of the largest 
fasttrack power markets in the world 
during the year we built on our existing 
contract delivering an additional 40mw 
and 75mw to bring our total power 
capacity in the country to 130mw our 
plants provide much needed reliable 
power to the islands of nias and sumatra 
and by using the newest generation diesel 
power modules we have been able to 
provide fuelefficiencies to our customer
following the year end we were pleased 
to announce two new significant contracts 
in asia firstly a landmark contract in 
myanmar for 82mw with plant capacity to 
deliver up to 100mw the plant featuring 
our gas power modules is expected to 
be operational in the second quarter of 
2014 and will be one of the largest thermal 
plants in the country providing power to 
more than six million people this bridging 
power capacity is required whilst the utility 
builds a new combined cycle power plant 
to fulfil the country’s needs
today we have announced our largest 
industrial contract producing a 
guaranteed 60mw the mobile gas turbine 
plant will power the customer’s critical 
mining operations in the south pacific 
this technology was the customer’s 
preferred solution meeting strict eu 
emissions requirements and able to fit 
within the challenging space constraints at 
the mine site the plant will run on diesel 
while offering our customer the flexibility 
to seamlessly switch to natural gas if 
needed
the project adds to apr energy’s track 
record in the extractive industry sector 
that includes successful power projects in 
mozambique guatemala and botswana 
it is also represents the group’s second 
largescale turbine project following 
its acquisition of the ge power rental 
business the plant is expected to begin 
operations in late q2 2014 and run through 
to late 2015 this contract reflects the 
versatility that mobile gas turbines provide 
and the attractiveness of this technology 
not just to utilities but to industrial 
customers as well
recently we have been informed that 
our customer in australia has filed for 
protection from its creditors as such 
the assets allocated to that project are 
tied up in the receivership process 
although it is still in the early stages the 
group is working with the administrators 
and receivers of forge group limited 
regarding possession of those assets
these contracts together with our 
recent installation of 130mw of new 
power generation in indonesia reflect 
the success of our rapidly growing asia 
pacific business following the opening 
our malaysian hub in 2012 and singapore 
commercial office in 2013  10  apr energy  annual report 2013
the americas
in uruguay we were pleased to announce in 
late 2012 the extension of our existing 100mw 
plant and expansion of an additional 
200mw of mobile gas turbine capacity 
the 100mw la tablada site commissioning 
and 100mw punta del tigre site expansion 
went operational in the second quarter 
bringing our total power generation 
capacity in the country to 300mw
in december we announced the first 
extension of a contract acquired as part 
of the ge transaction – a twelvemonth 
extension of the 25mw mobile gas turbine 
contract in the us virgin islands on 
improved pricing in line with apr energy’s 
historic turbine pricing
these contracts reinforce our success in 
and commitment to the provision of power 
across our global portfolio we continue 
to see customers including those in 
emerging markets come back to apr 
energy time and again to take repeatable 
and often enlarged blocks of power to 
meet their ongoing needs
 
our people
our people are the key to apr energy’s 
success and our achievements are 
only possible through their hard work 
and dedication with a rapidly growing 
business maintaining and growing a 
highly motivated trained and efficient 
workforce is a top priority and is essential 
to deliver our vision
i would like to thank everyone within the 
group for their continued efforts i am 
committed to ensuring that we continue to 
foster a collaborative working environment 
our employees live and demonstrate our 
values every day helping to make apr 
energy a productive and positive place to 
work 
we have a reputation for integrity and 
honesty in all our business dealings a 
factor that contributes positively to our 
longterm relationships with customers 
and suppliers maintaining our good 
reputation is therefore essential for our 
continued success
with the prospect of significant growth 
ahead we need to ensure the organisation 
is positioned to achieve this in a 
disciplined way this includes investing 
in our people to enable them to work to 
the best of their abilities supported by 
systems policies and procedures that 
ensure that our growth is achieved in a 
controlled and repeatable manner we 
are evolving the organisation to ensure 
our global footprint is aligned to meet 
the needs of our customers quickly 
while retaining its agility to capture 
opportunities
a strong foundation for the 
future
we have long believed the market 
opportunity exists to provide customers 
with largerscale power projects on a semi
permanent basis in a way that helps them 
to address an often chronic imbalance in 
the supply of and demand for electricity in 
a faster smarter way 
our approach is to build a strong reliable 
and repeatable platform we have made 
significant progress in this area in recent 
years building the capabilities to meet 
our customers’ needs we have invested 
in an advanced and scalable fleet we 
have developed our proprietary modular 
building process and have put regional 
hubs in place to serve our strategic 
markets all of these investments enable 
us to move at pace – winning new 
contracts and continuing to achieve high 
renewal rates improving mobilisation and 
installation time while retaining flexibility to 
be both scalable and customisable 
we have developed strategic partnerships 
which provide us with reliable stateof
theart technology and around the clock 
support across the world and we have 
deliberately differentiated ourselves 
through our broad technologically 
advanced and scalable fleet with a 
particular focus on our mobile turbines 
through major projects such as uruguay 
and libya we have shown that mobile 
turbine technology does and will continue 
to play an important role in the growth 
of the fasttrack power solutions market 
as customers look for reliable technology 
with greater powerdensity and emissions 
control we have also seen that by 
employing technologies offering the latest 
advancements in fuel efficiency we can 
reduce significantly the total operating 
cost for the customer over the use of older 
more technologicallydated equipment 
this advantage has helped us win projects 
over the course of the year
with this strong foundation we are 
focused on extending and expanding our 
existing portfolio of contracts and growing 
our global footprint via opportunities 
with new customers and in new markets 
all the while we continue to evolve and 
enhance our platform through a focus 
on operational excellence and continued 
investment in our people and our assets
outlook 
apr energy believes that the outlook for 
the mobile gas turbine market remains 
positive the group continues to see strong 
structural demand for power solutions in 
africa latin america the middle east and 
south east asia where available new power 
capacity significantly lags growing demand
the scalability of this technology allows 
large amounts of power to be deployed 
swiftly and efficiently this combined with 
low emissions and dualfuel capability 
makes turbines the technology of choice 
for customers requiring largescale rapidly 
delivered power the group is well placed 
to capture opportunities to provide larger
scale longerterm power
our focus for the year ahead includes 
securing a number of key contracts 
renewals transferring the ge contracts 
that are due for renewal onto more 
favourable terms or redeploying these 
assets developing opportunities through 
our partnership with ge and importantly 
continuing to deliver an improved financial 
and operational performance
market expectations for 2014 reflect 
strong yearonyear growth for the group 
subject to fluctuations in exchange rates 
the board’s expectations for the current 
financial year remain unchanged

the marketplace in which apr energy 
operates is global and extensive it 
benefits from strong growth drivers for 
the short medium and long term it is 
a market where demand significantly 
outstrips supply and this supplydemand 
gap is expected to continue to rise due 
to certain underlying factors which are 
likely to persist for many years those 
underlying factors include rapid economic 
development and urbanisation in emerging 
markets the advanced ageing of a 
number of power plants and infrastructure 
around the world the lack of funds and 
available financing for construction of new 
permanent plants geopolitical and natural 
events and climatic impacts on rain
dependent hydroelectric power generation 
in addition the variability of those factors 
compounds the planning and forecasting 
challenges for many countries further 
exacerbating the problem as a result 
many countries are faced with critical 
electricity shortages impacting economic 
growth and quality of life
the solutions that apr energy provides 
addresses only a portion of the global 
electricity deficit in many cases we are 
competing against the choice by some 
countries to take no action in solving their 
power gaps – ie to allow for blackouts 
brownouts or provide no power at all 
to some of their constituents leaving 
industries and private homes to compete 
for the small supply of power available 
for these reasons there is tremendous 
opportunity to drive and create new 
demand by offering innovative accessible 
solutions and by educating our target 
customers on the benefits that these 
solutions provide 
it has been seen in countries with low 
electrification rates that the introduction 
of electricity in turn leads to new 
incremental demand as constituents begin 
to modernise this demand growth is 
driven by the introduction and proliferation 
of powerintensive appliances such as 
refrigerators as well as the need for 
constant power access for charging mobile 
phones and other personal devices
our market space
while the overall market for electricity is 
large broad and diverse apr energy’s 
focus is on sovereign utilities private 
utilities and powerintensive industries 
located in both developed and developing 
markets our target projects typically run 
from 20mw to more than 400mw 
historically our largest opportunities have 
been in highgrowth emerging frontier and 
underserved markets located in the regions 
of africa latin america the middle east 
and asia however as we have increased 
our fleet weighting in mobile gas turbines 
this technology provides a strong play in 
developed markets where powerdense 
and lowemissions technology is needed to 
counter ageing infrastructure and tightening 
emissions regulations powerintensive 
industries also have been an area of 
increased opportunity particularly extractive 
industries which often operate in remote 
locations distant from the power grid 
customer demand in our priority market 
spaces remains high these customers 
have needs for a number of applications 
including bridging power peaking power 
grid stability and support industrial 
generation and distributed generation in 
addition we remain ready to provide rapid 
response to eventdriven need wherever 
it may be required in the world although 
the very nature of such events makes them 
difficult to predict and forecast 
from a strategic perspective apr energy 
has broadened its market opportunities 
by offering utilities and industries a greater 
choice of technology to meet their needs 
with a flexible offering that includes mobile 
gas turbines our market opportunity 
expands beyond traditional temporary 
power and rental power markets to bridge 
customers to longerterm solutions as 
seen from our 300mw project in uruguay 
many large utility customers prefer to 
work with the reliable powerdense and 
emissions friendly turbine technology with 
which they are most familiar 
drivers of growth
our market
demand for apr 
energy’s solutions is 
driven by a number 
of factors including 
rapid economic growth 
and urbanisation 
lack of funding and 
financing for new plants 
ageing infrastructure 
and variable weather 
patterns 12  apr energy  annual report 2013
market growth
over the last decade meeting the world’s 
evergrowing energy needs has become 
a critical challenge the need for power 
continues to rise driven by growth in 
population and incomes continued 
industrialisation and urbanisation of 
emerging markets revisions to climate 
change policies and a number of other 
factors at the same time decades of 
underinvestment in new and existing 
capacity have left governments and utilities 
in a position where they must not only 
catch up to current demand requirements 
but also invest for future business and 
population growth   
against this backdrop the structural 
opportunity for fasttrack power and 
bridging power is expected to continue to 
expand given the persistent supplyside 
constraints in certain regions such as lack 
of financing for infrastructure projects low 
electrification rates and high transmission 
and distribution losses a new permanent 
power plant takes years to plan finance 
and construct it costs hundreds of millions 
of dollars requires extensive permitting 
and often has attendant network and 
infrastructure demands 
according to recent estimates the global 
power rental market is expected to grow 
from an estimated 8 billion in 2012 to 
17 billion in 2017 with a compound 
annual growth rate of 17 during the 
same period due to the long lead time 
required for the construction of permanent 
power infrastructure and the innate 
need for standby power in the event of 
natural disasters high seasonal demand 
and maintenance the marketplace 
opportunities for fasttrack power projects 
will continue to grow
looking ahead we expect this growth to 
continue due to the following key factors 
the global demand for electricity 
continues to outpace supply
according to the international energy 
agency iea 2013 world energy outlook 
the demand for electricity is projected to 
outpace any other final form of energy 
with over a 65 increase through 2035 or 
22 per year on average over fourfifths 
of this demand is required by nonoecd 
countries due to faster population and 
economic growth and rising standards of 
living 
the growth in power consumption is 
led by developing countries driven 
by industrialisation and by increasing 
numbers of people using devices that 
consume electricity including refrigerators 
televisions and mobile phones however 
population growth also is an important 
driver of energy consumption with the 
majority of growth taking place in asia and 
africa due to this continued population 
and economic growth 12 billion people still 
remain without access to electricity or 17 
of the global population according to the 
2013 world energy outlook by 2030 nearly 
a billion people will still lack electricity with 
the majority being in subsaharan africa 
or developing asia even though world 
electricity generation increases along with 
incremental demand growth the increase 
of generation is lower than that of the 
demand resulting in a continuous and 
growing gap 
lack of investment in power capacity
the investment in new generating capacity 
and the maintenance of existing capacity 
have each remained below levels required 
to keep supply in line with the accelerating 
demand given the ongoing uncertainty 
in the global economy and the complexity 
and cost of constructing largescale 
power plants investment in building new 
capacity and maintaining existing capacity 
has been unable to keep pace even with 
planned capacity additions in developing 
economies construction leadtimes for 
longterm plants may take three to five 
years before being commissioned and 
operational furthermore construction 
costs run at an approximate range of 
15 million to 7 million per megawatt 
constructed depending on the technology 
employed construction of conventional 
plants also are contractually complex 
requiring the hiring of specialists and 
understanding of the financial technical 
socioeconomic environmental and legal 
aspects of the construction as well as 
assessing the longterm impact of the 
plant 
according to iea’s 2013 world energy 
outlook if existing policies continue and 
new policies are cautiously implemented 
investment of 1 trillion is required in the 
world’s energy supply system through 
2035 or 740 billion per year to ensure 
the availability of generation transmission 
and distribution systems needed to fulfil 
the global capacity requirements out 
of this 58 of total investment is in new 
generating capacity while the remainder 
is needed for transmission and distribution 
networks according to the world energy 
outlook around 50 of today’s grid 
infrastructure will have reached 40 years of 
age by 2035 requiring major investments 
in refurbishments about 60 of capacity 
retirements are in oecd countries where

improvements of fossilfuelled power 
plants and coaltogas switching all 
contribute to an expected reduction of 
emissions growth through 2035 but 
immediate effects will be hard to see 
climate change is expected to increase 
the duration frequency and intensity 
of heat waves and droughts causing 
electricity shortages in countries that 
obtain large shares of their electricity 
from renewable sources and also by 
stressing transmission infrastructure 
due to prolonged heat this variability of 
rainfall increased levels of evaporation 
and changing wind cycles may hinder 
economic growth and affect electricity 
pricing and sales revenue since renewable 
energy sources are more expensive than 
conventional sources and are unable to 
provide reliable dedicated power during 
peak demand standby power solutions 
remain essential to provide stability and 
additional capacity when renewable 
sources are affected or during extreme 
weather periods   
ageing power infrastructure and the 
need for reliable backup 
over the next decade a significant 
investment is needed to refurbish or 
replace ageing distribution grids and 
generating plants to keep pace with rising 
electricity consumption this is particularly 
pronounced in oecd countries where 
over 60 of global capacity retirements 
through 2035 will occur in order to abide by 
generation and environmental regulations 
oecd countries may face up to 530gw of 
capacity retirements through 2035 
given the environmental and safety 
concerns associated with an ageing 
power infrastructure both developed and 
developing countries will be required to 
plan and finance extensive renovations 
in order to meet the growing demand for 
electricity of the new generation capacity 
that is expected to be built through 2035 
around onethird is needed to replace 
plants that are retiring the majority of new 
additions are projected to be gaspowered 
plants with a majority expected to take 
place in nonoecd countries this equates 
to an investment of 17 trillion or 740 
billion per year through 2035 to develop 
new generation facilities and refurbish 
transmission and distribution networks 
as a fasttrack power solutions provider  
apr energy is ideally positioned to provide 
energy companies municipalities and

direct economic losses and impacting 
emerging economies the most weather 
phenomena such as extended droughts 
high temperatures high sea ice melt and 
storm surges linked to heightening cyclone 
risk have increased over the past 10 years 
over 900 documented loss events in 2013 
were reported of which 93 were weather

traditional power plants typically take 
years to build and commission and due 
to lack of funding and complex financing 
requirements many projects never break 
ground in contrast apr energy’s plants 
can be installed in weeks not years 
supplying the electricity needed to power 
millions of homes with a presence in 
over 25 countries and supported by a 
network of regional hubs apr energy has

case study angola
apr energy’s angola project exemplifies our gotomarket approach in 2012 we 
established our first project in the country a 40mw plant located in luanda using diesel 
power modules after building a positive relationship with the customer and delivering a 
strong trackrecord of reliability apr energy was able to extend the contract for another 
term as well as expand our capacity in country by an additional 40mw doubling the 
size of our operations 
the customer specifically requested to upgrade technology to mobile gas turbines for the 
additional 40mw resulting in one of the firstever mobile turbine projects in subsaharan 
africa and apr energy’s first turbine contract following its strategic alliance with ge 
through the angola win extension and expansion apr energy has established a strong 
platform from which we can expand our market for mobile turbine generation solutions 
and will use the project as a model for future business opportunities in the region
renew one or more times with some 
customers remaining under contract for a 
number of years 
we serve a wide range 
of customers across the globe 
apr energy’s customers range from 
sovereign utilities in highgrowth emerging 
or frontier markets that face a structural 
imbalance in their supply and demand of 
electricity to public and private utilities in 
developed markets looking to replace and 
upgrade their ageing power infrastructure 
while utilities represent our largest 
customer base apr energy also serves a 
wide range of industrial customers seeking 
reliable largescale power solutions 
extractive industries like mining often 
require dedicated power solutions given 
that their operations are highly power 
intensive and frequently take place in 
remote locations with limited or no access 
to the power grid 
since many customers often require their 
own unique configurations apr energy’s 
engineers work to deliver customised 
solutions that meet regulatory requirements 
create minimal impact on the surrounding 
community and combine the right mix of 
generation technology to achieve peak 
efficiency the diversity of apr energy’s 
customer base both in terms of geography 
and market segment reduces our exposure 
to downturns in any particular market 
segment
a repeatable scalable process
once apr energy establishes a local 
presence through the installation of a

our business applications
bridging power
utilities often require additional power 
support for periods when current 
power facilities are undergoing 
maintenance or being replaced or 
upgraded to newer more efficient 
technologies apr energy’s power 
solutions provide a reliable power 
alternative in such scenarios 
minimising the interruption to a 
community’s electricity supply 
during scheduled periods of 
outages or bridging until permanent 
infrastructure comes on line or can be 
constructed
base load operation
in some countries the 
underdevelopment of power 
generation infrastructure is so severe 
that they need a power provider 
such as apr energy to help cover 
significant portions of their national 
power production in such cases 
apr energy may operate its facilities 
as base load plants running on 
a continuous basis to meet its 
customers’ critical power needs for 
example in senegal apr energy has 
accounted for as much as 30 of the 
country’s available capacity other 
such recent projects have included 
yemen libya and angola
grid stability 
and support
apr energy’s grid optimisation and 
stabilisation projects help global 
customers operate more efficiently 
and ultimately enable a more reliable 
and secure supply of energy they 
incorporate distributed generation 
solutions at strategically located 
substations to help reduce the load 
on existing substation equipment and 
release capacity on the transmission 
grid grid optimisation and stabilisation 
projects greatly improve the efficiency 
of the customer’s substation and 
electrical networks often by over 20 
experiencing electricity shortages 
driven by demand growth and supply 
constraints the botswana power 
corporation bpc needed bridging 
power until a permanent plant could 
be constructed in 2009 apr energy 
was contracted to provide 70mw of 
reliable electricity to the national grid in 
order to counteract power shortages 
the plant has remained in operation 
following multiple contract extensions 
and is scheduled to continue running 
through 2014
apr energy operates six plants 
in libya to alleviate its chronic 
and growing supply and demand 
imbalance while the country builds 
and repairs its infrastructure these 
plants located within the metropolitan 
tripoli region and in the southern 
part of the country operate at or 
near baseload capacity and are 
critical to keeping the lights on for the 
communities they serve with over 
450mw of power generation in libya 
apr energy makes a significant 
contribution to the country’s overall 
electricity production 
during 2013 apr energy designed 
constructed and installed four power 
plants in indonesia totalling 130mw 
indonesia with its vast geography 
and underdeveloped infrastructure 
is one of the world’s largest markets 
for distributed power and grid stability 
projects apr energy’s plants provide 
much needed reliable power to 
the islands of nias and sumatra 
in addition leveraging its newest
generation diesel power modules 
apr energy was able to provide fuel
efficiency cost savings compared to 
other solutions

peaking power
in markets where the demand for 
electricity exceeds the available power 
generation capacity utilities need 
to consider the practicalities of load 
management and load shedding 
during peak demand times of the day 
in some cases this need is seasonal 
driven by extreme temperatures or in 
hydrodependent countries by lack of 
rainfall in a peaking power solution 
apr energy’s power plant would 
operate during peak demand periods 
normally only for a few hours each day 
to alleviate these power outages
distributed generation
in scenarios where the delivery 
of electricity to a city or region is 
restricted by inadequate or inefficient 
transmission lines a utility company 
may need to place power generation 
closer to the point of consumption to 
avoid blackouts apr energy’s flexible 
turnkey plants can be placed where 
they are most needed generating 
the required electricity and injecting 
it either directly into the local medium 
voltage distribution network or the 
main high voltage grid also referred 
to as rural electrification distributed 
generation provides an efficient and 
secure method of delivering additional 
electricity at a local level while helping 
to improve the overall efficiency of the 
customer’s electrical system
industrial generation
industrial companies and mining 
facilities often require a dedicated 
source of electricity an unreliable 
supply from a local grid or limited 
access to the main transmission 
network may impair the delivery of 
electricity required for the customer 
to sustain its operations industrial 
and mining customers are dependent 
upon constant power to ensure that 
maximum operational capacity is 
achieved and costly plant outages are 
avoided power generation projects 
also supply camps with a secure 
source of electricity supporting the 
camp’s operational activities and 
ensuring the safety of personnel  
oman’s hot summer season puts 
heavy demand on the country’s power 
grid from may to september causing 
intermittent power outages following 
apr energy’s successful execution 
of a similar project in oman the year 
before the group was awarded a new 
contract to supply power and backup 
capacity to the eastern part of the 
country leveraging its dubai hub for 
rapid distribution and using its patent 
pending modular block system for 
plant design apr energy installed 
the oman site within days one of the 
fastest in the group’s history
the argentine governmentowned 
electricity company energía argentina 
sa enarsa required additional 
power sources as a result of slow
paced investment transmission 
line restraints a continuous rise in 
electricity demand and territorial 
expansion over the course of 
numerous phases apr energy 
provided enarsa with over 90mw 
of power distributed at five separate 
locations the plants feed into regional 
substations and supply critical power 
needed for seasonal peak demands 
and grid support
powering the escobal silver mine’s 
critical operations apr energy’s

as the world’s leading provider of fasttrack 
mobile turbine power apr energy uses 
some of the most rapidly deployable and 
reliable mobile gas turbine technology in 
the market today the term ’gas‘ in their 
name comes not from the fuel the turbines 
consume although they can operate on 
natural gas but from the gas compres
sion mostly air which drives the turbine 
using the same aeroderivative technology 
found in many jet airliners apr energy’s 
mobile gas turbines are highly reliable

grow our mobile gas turbine business 
mobile gas turbines are an integral part of 
apr energy’s growth strategy providing a 
stronger play into more lucrative larger
scale longerterm projects through 
our acquisition of the ge power rental 
business in october 2013 apr energy 
is now the world’s largest provider of 
fasttrack mobile turbine power we 
have deliberately chosen to differentiate 
ourselves in the market through our 
decision to invest in this technology which 
now represents 56 of our total fleet mix 
in comparison to gas reciprocating 
engines mobile gas turbine technology 
provides greater reliability requires much 
less maintenance needs significantly fewer 
people to operate occupies a smaller 
installed footprint per mw and produces 
a fraction of the emissions they also 
provide the added flexibility of being able to 
seamlessly switch between natural gas and 
diesel fuel as needed by the customer
these aeroderivative turbines can each 
produce up to 30mw of power and their 
integrated highdensity design radically 
improves the speed and logistics of 
transport they can be transported 
anywhere in the world for projects and 
require approximately onethird of the 
space as the equivalent number of 
reciprocating generators 
as a result of these advantages the mobile 
gas turbine share of the fasttrack power 
market has grown rapidly over the last three 
years representing approximately 20 of 
all deals since 2012 excluding projects in 
the bric countries for deals of 100mw 
and greater mobile gas turbines reached 
over a third of the market with 138 cagr 
over a threeyear period some of this 
growth is due to fasttrack power customers 
shifting preference on technologies 
however in many cases turbines have 
expanded the playing field in our market 
opening up opportunities with customers 
who would have otherwise not considered 
largescale fasttrack power previously 
either due to emissions requirements 
scale space constraints or requirements 
for fuel flexibility 
leverage the ge strategic alliance 
in october 2013 apr energy completed 
a transformational deal with ge acquiring 
ge’s power rental business in exchange 
apr energy stock and cash and entering 
into a longterm strategic alliance the 
deal created the world’s leading fast
track mobile turbine business further 
strengthening apr energy’s leadership 
position in largescale fasttrack power 
and provided the group with the fleet and 
technology to support our growth plans 
into the long term the strategic alliance 
and equity commitment reflects ge’s 
endorsement of apr energy’s prospects to 
lead the fasttrack power space 
apr energy’s strategy with regards to 
the ge strategic alliance includes the 
following
l leverage the acquired ge turbine fleet 
worldwide support services and long
term supply agreement to focus further on 
turbine opportunities in both developed 
and developing markets
l use the ge brand to build credibility for 
apr energy as the group enters new 
markets and positions its technology and 
fasttrack turnkey solutions
l collaborate on business development 
opportunities with ge where apr energy 
can offer complementary bridging power 
solutions while permanent ge plants are 
built
l convert the acquired ge power rental 
contracts to apr energy’s full turnkey 
contracts with addin services
since the closing of the ge deal apr 
energy has signed a new 40mw contract 
in angola featuring ge turbines and has 
also renewed its us virgin islands contract

strategic benefits of the ge power rental business 
acquisition
advances apr energy towards its strategic vision to be the leader in large
scale rapidly deployed power
the acquisition has made apr energy the world’s leading supplier of fasttrack mobile 
turbine power mobile turbines play a key part of our strategy to focus on largerscale 
longerterm projects and have been a growth driver in our industry with the backing of 
the ge brand name a longterm supply agreement collaboration on opportunities and 
expansion of our global footprint apr energy is well positioned to grow its leadership 
position in the industry
provides the technology and fleet capacity for growth 
the acquisition has expanded apr energy’s turbine capacity by 520mw to 12gw 
creating the world’s largest fleet of fasttrack mobile gas turbines this together with 
a longterm supply agreement that provides favorable terms and broader access 
to technical service and support around the globe will support apr energy’s ability 
to address growing demand for largescale fasttrack power the deal also has 
diversified the group’s fleet with over 50 having dualfuel capability
 
establishes a longterm strategic alliance with ge 
as a result of the acquisition ge has become a strategic shareholder in the group 
with approximately 165 of the share capital demonstrating ge’s intent to assist in 
value creation apr energy has already begun benefiting from its ge partner brand 
designation additionally since the alliance provides us access to ge’s sales and 
commercial network apr energy benefits from the opportunity to complement ge’s 
longerterm projects with a fasttrack offering leveraging ge technology
expands and diversifies apr energy’s global footprint 
the ge deal included contracts in australia bangladesh canada iraq and the us 
virgin islands expanding apr energy’s footprint in both developing and developed 
countries and providing immediate access to key targeted markets the acquisition 
also diversifies apr energy’s customer base and significantly enhances our natural 
gas footprint with the majority of the turbine contracts being acquired running on 
natural gas 
enhanced cash generation 
it is expected that the enlarged business will have an enhanced cash generation profile 
helping to contribute to the future deleveraging of the group’s balance sheet 
advantages of mobile 
gas turbines
scalable in large power blocks
mobile gas turbines such as the ge 
tm2500 can deliver up to 30mw of 
power per unit this is the equivalent of 
anywhere from 15 to 25 reciprocating 
engines using multiple turbines plants 
can be configured easily to deliver more 
than 400mw of power
require less space
due to its high power density a mobile 
turbine plant requires less than a third 
of the space of an equivalent megawatt 
diesel reciprocating engine plant this can 
be a critical consideration when sites have 
limited space such as found at existing 
utility plant sites or in urban locations 
fuel flexibility
the dualfuel nature of mobile gas 
turbines offer customers greater flexibility 
as fuel availability quality or pricing 
changes over time without the need for 
changing equipment customers often 
choose to start operations with readily
available diesel fuel and then later switch 
to cheaper natural gas as reserves and 
infrastructure are developed 
semipermanent technology
mobile gas turbines are highly durable 
and integrate well into existing plant 
infrastructure since many power 
plants already use gas turbines utilities 
are familiar and comfortable with the 
advanced technology their long life 
span in contrast to reciprocating engine 
generators allows them to be installed on 
a semipermanent basis for longerterm 
contracts
high mobility
a major advantage of mobile gas turbines 
is the mobility they provide they can 
be rapidly transported by air or ocean 
through their containerised configuration 
and can be quickly installed by apr 
energy into a turnkey power plant
better for the environment
mobile gas turbines only produce a 
fraction of the no
x
 and other pollutants 
that diesel reciprocating engines 
generate and significantly less noise in 
many markets with strict environmental 
regulations including most developed 
markets turbines offer the most viable 
largescale fasttrack solution

penetration of priority markets and 
segments 
apr energy’s strategy is to serve both 
developed and developing markets 
with the largest segments being large 
sovereign and private utilities together 
with powerintensive industries such as 
mining customers located in highgrowth 
emerging frontier and underserved 
markets remain a major focus those 
customers face a structural imbalance 
in their supply and demand of electricity 
due to high growth ageing infrastructure 
lack of infrastructure investment and
or dependence on unreliable foreign or 
hydroelectric sources of electricity 
benefitting from our powerdense and low
emissions turbines apr energy provides 
a strong offering for developed markets 
that require bridging or backup power 
due to decommissioning and renovations 
of plants caused by ageing tightening 
environmental regulations andor public 
opposition in addition to our primary 
markets apr energy is ready and capable 
to respond to eventdriven requirements 
and emergencies anywhere in world
market expansion and diversification within 
our priority markets whether by geography 
the industries we serve or the fuel types 
our power solutions support are critical for 
our longterm growth this multifaceted 
diversification will enable us to expand 
our revenue base in rapidly growing 
highdemand and untapped markets and 
segments it will allow us to build operating 
efficiencies with a greater scale in terms 
of talent pools supply bases and fleet in 
addition by reducing dependency on any 
single market or customer apr energy 
will be in a stronger position to minimise 
business political and economic risk 
which in turn should reduce volatility and 
variability in revenue over time 
africa
africa remains a strategically important 
region for apr energy we have engaged 
in a number of fasttrack turnkey power 
projects throughout the western eastern 
and southern regions of the continent 
since 2006 including in angola botswana 
burkina faso gabon libya mali 
mozambique senegal and tanzania we 
see strong opportunities in africa due to the 
rapidly growing demand for electricity and 
an acute lack of investment and planning 
for permanent power plants 
rapid expansion of the commodities 
mining and construction industries is also 
expected to drive economic growth and the 
need for more permanent power generation 
infrastructure many industrial firms and 
countries dependent on hydroelectricity 
are also switching to offgrid dedicated 
power generation facilities to reduce lost 
production caused by power interruptions 
in addition regional dependence on 
hydroelectric resources makes the power 
generation capacity of many african 
countries vulnerable to prolonged droughts 
our dubai hub has positioned us well 
to pursue new opportunities across the 
continent we continue our focus to secure 
new contracts within africa which has 
significant natural gas reserves that present 
good opportunities for our mobile gas 
turbines in december 2013 apr energy 
announced its firstever mobile turbine 
project in subsaharan africa a 40mw 
plant in angola which follows the group’s 
execution of a 40mw plant using diesel 
reciprocating engines earlier in the year
the middle east
this region offers strong growth potential 
and continues to be a focus for new 
strategic investment by the group the 
‘arab spring’ has created a number of 
opportunities for apr energy’s fasttrack 
power solutions throughout the region 
these opportunities are driven by the need 
for seasonal power ageing and damaged 
infrastructure and shifting political climate 
our dubai hub and commercial office has 
already played a key role in expanding our 
footprint in the region playing a key role in 
the development deployment and support 
of projects in oman and yemen 
ongoing infrastructure development 
industrial expansion in the energy and 
chemicals sectors and eventdriven needs 
are expected to drive significant demand 
growth in the region over the next few 
decades according to the eia numerous 
‘mega’ petrochemical projects are currently 
underway in saudi arabia qatar kuwait 
and the uae 
in 2012 the gulf cooperation council 
region experienced large increases in peak 
demand due to an influx of refugees in 
some countries growth of the middle class 
and prevalence of subsidies this trend 
is set to continue with ongoing political 
strife and uprising according to the meed 
insight mena power 2013 report the middle 
east and north african region is facing 
annual demand growth rates in excess of 
10 due to rising populations oil prices 
and high economic growth this demand 
coupled with lack of tariff reform is pushing 
utilities to find immediate solutions and 
invest in new generation capacity to restore 
or maintain their 15 reserve margin

the projected demand for fasttrack and 
bridging power within the middle east 
market represents great potential and 
the demand for electrical capacity in this 
dynamic region is projected to increase 
dramatically in the medium to longterm  
latin america and the caribbean
similar to africa latin america’s reliance on 
hydroelectric power presents opportunities 
for the deployment of mobile power 
generation facilities many regions have 
experienced widespread blackouts due to 
power deficits and local utilities routinely 
schedule power interruptions in addition 
poor investment in infrastructure and 
steady economic growth has resulted in 
inadequate power generating resources
representing one of the world’s largest 
markets for fasttrack power there are 
large disparities in electricity access across 
the countries of latin american and the 
caribbean apr energy has delivered 
successful power projects in argentina 
costa rica ecuador haiti martinique 
peru and uruguay and through the 
acquisition of the ge power rental 
business the us virgin islands at the 
same time we see strong opportunities 
to provide fasttrack and dedicated power 
solutions for industries such as mining and 
other extractive operations – a growing and 
important sector in countries like brazil 
chile and peru
asiapacific 
the asiapacific region has been one of the 
fastestgrowing markets for apr energy 
and remains a strategic priority for group 
growth and investment our regional hub 
in malaysia together with our commercial 
office in singapore positions us well for 
further regional expansion in the region 
our investment has helped us penetrate 
strategically important markets in the 
region including indonesia and myanmar 
apr energy has had success in both 
the utility and industrial sectors in other 
asian countries including sri lanka and 
japan – where we have demonstrated our 
operational flexibility by delivering solutions 
based upon both reciprocating engine 
power modules and mobile gas turbines 
our ge strategic alliance will serve as 
a platform from which we can generate 
additional business in the region the 
increasing availability of natural gas 
throughout this geography will help us 
further drive mobile gas turbine power 
opportunities
notwithstanding ambitious power 
expansion plans rapid consumption and 
demand in this region will strain efforts 
to ensure reliable electricity supply on a 
continuous basis already countries like 
indonesia with the largest economy in 
southeast asia are facing difficulties in 
ensuring the reliability of its power delivery 
and distribution networks another example 
is myanmar where approximately 75 of 
the population does not have access to 
reliable power 
developed markets
developed markets such as south korea 
japan the uk poland and even the us 
have a rising need for bridging and backup 
power generation this is being driven by 
the decommissioning and renovations 
of plants due to ageing tightening 
environmental regulations and public 
opposition to certain types of power
due to strict environmental regulations 
limited space and need for integration with 
existing plants mobile gas turbines are the 
most attractive option for these customers 
benefitting from our powerdense and 
lowemissions turbines apr energy 
provides a strong scalable offering for the 
high megawatt demands of large utilities 
and offers the technology with which these 
customers are most comfortable and 
familiar
industrial applications
industrial customers remain an important 
segment for apr energy and provide 
diversification for the group’s customer 
base apr energy will continue to target 
large industries particularly engineering 
procurement and construction epc 
oil and gas and extractive industries 
the extractive industry eg mining is 
particularly attractive as it consumes high 
amounts of electricity and often operates 
in remote locations distant from the power 
grid such companies need dedicated 
power solutions in order to maintain 
production and optimise their operations
apr energy’s success in this sector 
includes projects delivered in botswana 
guatemala and mozambique 
the industrial sector is expected to remain 
the largest electricity consumer of all 
enduse sectors accounting for over 40 
of total electricity demand in 2035 due 
to increasing electrification of industrial 
processes especially in nonoecd 
countries industry electricity demand is 
expected to grow over 2 per year through

can provide electricity for spacerestricted 
facilities located far beyond the reach of 
utility power grids our stateoftheart 
equipment and experienced support teams 
offer private and stateowned companies a 
costeffective and reliable source of power 
for even the most remote operations and 
harshest conditions 
looking ahead we see good opportunities

penetrating the natural gas market
as part of our strategic growth strategy 
apr energy remains committed to 
increasing its natural gas power generation 
footprint as worldwide production of 
natural gas continues to grow and as 
both developed and developing countries 
increase their production capacity apr 
energy is well positioned to take advantage 
of this readily available fuel source our 
mobile gas turbines and gas reciprocating 
engines offer customers a cleaner more 
costeffective and lower impact option 
fuel cost is often a major driver for our 
customers and natural gas presents a 
significantly cheaper alternative to diesel 
fuel in many markets 
natural gas will continue to play an 
increasingly vital role in the world’s supply 
of energy it is one of the cleanest and  
most useful of all nonrenewable energy 
sources compared to largescale diesel 
generators natural gas powered generators 
can produce significantly lower amounts of 
harmful emissions such as nox particulate 
matter and pollutants
in its world energy outlook 2011 the 
iea forecasts the demand for natural gas 
growing by 2 per year between 2009 
and 2035 natural gas offers significant 
competitive advantages over other fuels 
it is seen as economically more efficient 
because only about 10 of the natural gas 
produced is wasted before it is consumed 
in addition technological advances 
are constantly improving efficiencies in 
extraction transportation and storage as 
well as in equipment that uses natural gas 
such as apr energy’s mobile gas turbines

uruguay
the electricity sector of uruguay is largely 
based on domestic hydropower this leaves 
the country vulnerable to seasonal rainfall 
patterns and often requires importation 
of electricity from its neighbours urgently 
needing a strategic defence against hydro 
dependency until a new power plant could 
be constructed uruguay’s national utility 
ute contracted with apr energy in 2012 
for an initial 100mw turnkey plant the 
utility had a strong preference for dual
fuel gas turbines given its familiarity with 
the technology and the country’s strict 
environmental regulations it also needed a 
solution that would integrate into its current 
site and infrastructure
pleased with apr energy’s solutions and 
technology ute contracted apr energy for 
an additional 200mw installed in early 2013 
across two sites through the fasttrack 
deployment eight mobile turbines travelled 
via a mix of ocean and air freight to meet 
a tight operational schedule the full 
turnkey 100mw solution at punta del tigre 
commenced operations in may bringing 
apr energy’s total capacity at the site to 
200mw the 100mw plant at la tablada 
which became operational in april includes 
150kv substation equipment for protection 
and metering 
the semipermanent plants integrate 
seamlessly into ute’s existing infrastructure 
and utilise demineralised water solutions to 
comply fully with uruguay’s strict emissions 
standards the plants are run as needed 
for peaking power and backup generation 
apr energy now represents 30 of 
uruguay’s backup thermal generation 
and has helped the country become self
sufficient in power production for the first 
time in 15 years 
“i was marvelled with 
the response that this 
company has given we 
now begin a commercial 
stage in which we are 
strategic partners with 
the availability of these 
machines we will supply 
the demand in uruguay

‘capacity’ represents the aggregate 
megawatt capacity that apr energy’s power 
generating equipment including both owned 
and leased equipment would be capable of 
delivering when operating at 100 of their 
power output 
the directors consider committed capacity 
to be an important indicator of apr energy’s 
revenue generating capability
adjusted ebitda margin represents adjusted 
ebitda as defined divided by revenue
the directors consider adjusted ebitda 
margin to be an important indicator because 
it demonstrates the groups underlying 
operating profitability
order book represents contracted future 
orders expressed as megawatt months 
the directors consider order book to be an 
important indicator of apr energy’s secured 
future revenue
adjusted return on capital employed 
represents operating profit for the previous 
twelve months adjusted to add back 
amortisation of intangible assets and 
exceptional items dividend by the average of 
the net operating assets at the three balance 
sheet dates for example for 31 december 
2013 this comprised 31 december 2013 
30 june 2013 and 31 december 2012 ‘net 
operating assets’ is defined as total equity 
adjusted to exclude goodwill intangible 
assets borrowings founders shares and 
securities deferred tax assets and liabilities 
and current tax assets and liabilities
in a capital intensive business such as apr 
energy roce provides a measure that 
reflects both margin performance and capital 
productivity
adjusted ebitda represents operating 
profit adjusted to add back depreciation of 
property plant and equipment equity settled 
sharebased payment expense amortisation 
of intangible assets and exceptional items 
exceptional items are those items believed to 
be exceptional in nature by virtue of size and
or incidence
the directors consider adjusted ebitda to 
be an important indicator because it provides 
a proxy for free cash generation
adjusted earnings per share represents 
adjusted net income divided by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares 
used to calculate the 2013 adjusted eps was 
801m 2012 782m 2011 782m
the directors consider earnings per share 
to be an important indicator as it provides a 
comparable means to measure the returns 
the group generates for its shareholders 
the directors have included these measures because they are used by the group in managing the business and measuring the group’s core 
performance these measures will also be beneficial to potential investors in understanding the group’s business however the figures disclosed 
herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies as nonifrs measures are not uniformly defined  34  apr energy  annual report 2013

revenues for the year increased 16 to 3083 million 2012 2657 million driven primarily by new contract wins contract extensions and 
high utilisation levels on an enlarged fleet following the commissioning of a number of significant contracts during the year the timing of these 
projects becoming operational resulted in revenue being heavily skewed to the second half of the year as expected
revenue included 9 million 2012 nil from the ge business post acquisition and 14 million arising from the finance lease accounting in 
connection with the planned disposal of assets in botswana excluding these items revenue increased 7 year on year
adjusted operating profit increased 16 to 778 million 2012 672 million reflecting the higher revenue and gross profit offset by 
proportionally lower selling general and administrative expenses the depreciation charge as a percentage of revenue remains in line with the 
previous year and reflects capital expenditure on the fleet during the year
adjusted net interest expense for the year was 214 million 2012 43 million reflecting drawings made on the enlarged credit facility as part 
of the purchase of fleet capital expenditure the timing of receipt of receivables and the 150 million termloan drawn down in may 2013 this 
excludes the cash consideration of 73 million 2012 nil for the ge acquisition and fees associated with the additional 100 million termloan
the 2013 tax charge on an adjusted basis was 77 million 2012 100 million reflecting an effective tax rate on adjusted profit before tax of 
14 2012 16 the reduction in the effective tax rate reflects the group booking previously unrecognised tax losses in the uk as a result of 
contract wins during the year
adjusted profit for the year was 483 million 2012 533 million reflecting the increased adjusted operating profit offset by the higher 
adjusted net interest expense 
adjusted basic earnings per share were 060 2012 068 based on a weighted average number of shares of 810 million 2012 782 million

adjusted ebitda increased 15 to 1812 million 2012 1570 million resulting in an adjusted ebitda margin of 59 2012 59
as at 31 december 2013 total fleet capacity was 2074mw an increase of over 58 compared to 31 december 2012 1311mw reflecting the 
520mw of additional capacity acquired through the ge power rental acquisition and 335mw of gross organic capacity expansion funded by 
fleet capital expenditure of 294 million 2012 317 million 
fleet capital expenditure of 294 million 2012 317 million excluding assets acquired through the ge acquisition reflects fleet investment 
primarily in mobile gas turbines resulting in gross organic fleet capacity expansion of 335mw to support new projects wins 
as part of the renewal of the 70mw contract in botswana in late december apr energy has agreed to sell its 70mw installed fleet to the 
customer the transaction has been treated as a finance lease with the sale recognised in december 2013 and with the legal transfer 
of assets expected to occur post the end of the existing contract in q4 2014 the sale represents a mutually attractive opportunity for the 
customer to supplement their owned diesel reciprocating power in country while enabling apr energy to dispose of legacy equipment in the 
interim we continue our strong relationship with the botswana power corporation   36  apr energy  annual report 2013
financial review
financing and bank facilities
the group has commenced discussions with its existing group of relationship banks regarding its refinancing strategy and expects to execute 
this strategy over the coming nine months in light of the termloan which matures on 1 january 2015
as at 31 december 2013 the group had gross debt of 590 million excluding capitalised finance costs 31 december 2012 205 million 
and cash of 34 million 31 december 2012 21 million resulting in a net debt of 556 million 31 december 2012 184 million this net 
debt position partially reflects the timing of the receipt of receivables in respect of the libyan contracts receivables of 100 million have been 
received in respect of the libyan contract since contract commencement as previously communicated management continues to focus on 
cash management and balance sheet efficiency the group’s bad debt position is unchanged and in line with historical low levels representing 
less than 1 of total receivables
adjusted return on capital employed
adjusted return on capital employed roce is a key performance metric for the business given the significant increase in net operating 
assets associated with the growth of the business adjusted roce decreased to 8 2012 11 primarily reflecting the timing of the 
significant asset increase including the 520mw acquired through the ge acquisition in the fourth quarter
currencies
nearly all operating costs are matched with corresponding revenues of the same currency and as such there is minimal transactional currency

for 2013 is a total of 32 million 2012 nil of amortisation expense related to intangible assets associated with the ge acquisition 
bad debt expense
in determining the recoverability of a trade receivable the group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date 
credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period there is a concentration of credit risk because there are a limited number of 
customers and as at 31 december 2013 the two individually significant aggregate amounts owed by individual customers were 65 million and 
15 million 2012 16 million and 10 million the risk associated with individual customers is mitigated by the letters of credit we obtain from 
customers on commencement of a contract management reviews concentration credit risk on a regular basis and ensures that where the net 
exposure exceeds certain thresholds appropriate actions are taken this is done on a customer by customer basis and takes account of the 
billing terms letters of credit and local customs and practices bad debt expense was nil million in the period 2012 net credit of 15 million

liquidity and capital resources

organic investment in the fleet and increased mobilisation costs arising from projects commencing operations during the year and the 731 
million due to the acquisition of the ge power rental business 
cash from financing activities included a net 3850 million of debt drawdowns the cash balance at year end was maintained at a level

equity
as at 31 december 2013 the group’s total equity increased 28 to 13966 million 31 december 2012 10918 million principally as a 
result of the share capital issuance in respect of the ge acquisition of 2866 million and the profit for the year
treasury policies and risk management
the group’s activities give rise to a number of financial risks particularly market risk comprising foreign exchange and interest rate risk credit 
risk liquidity risk and capital risk management
market risk
market risk includes foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk the group seeks to manage these risks to acceptable levels by maintaining 
appropriate policies and procedures in its determination to enter into a contract the group will carry out a risk assessment and determine the 
appropriate risk mitigation strategies market risk also includes the risk that cash derived from income for services fulfilled under contract terms 
will become restricted and not available for use in the ongoing activities of the business 
foreign exchange risk
the group has an exposure to transactional foreign exchange from purchases or sales in currencies other than us dollars in order to minimise 
exposure to foreign exchange risk the group primarily contracts in us dollars or in contracts with a price based on us dollars at the date of 
transaction or payment if possible in some cases the group transacts in local currencies when purchasing materials and supplies for project 
operations 
in limited circumstances the group may use derivative instruments to economically hedge against foreign exchange risk any hedges are 
limited in duration and correspond to the applicable contract payments or receipts to which the derivatives are associated 
interest rate risk
the group is primarily exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings borrowings issued at variable rates expose the group to cash flow 
interest rate risk borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the group to fair value interest rate risk when applicable the group may elect to 
hedge interest rate risk associated with debt or borrowings under the credit facility by purchasing derivative instruments as at 31 december 
2013 and 2012 there were no interest rate hedges in place
credit risk
credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents deposits with banks and financial institutions as well as exposures to outstanding 
receivables from customers due to the nature of the group’s business in emerging markets management believes the most significant of 
these to be exposures to outstanding receivables from customers
t o minimise the risk of a significant impact on the business due to a customer defaulting on its commitments the group closely monitors trade 
receivables in addition the group utilises letters of credit contract insurance policies and up front deposits to mitigate this risk
liquidity risk
liquidity risk results from insufficient funding being available to meet the group’s funding requirements as they arise the group manages 
liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves of cash and available committed facilities to meet the group’s short and longterm funding 
requirements the group monitors the shortterm forecast and actual cash flows on a daily basis and medium and longterm requirements in 
line with the group’s longterm planning processes 
financing and bank facilities
in 2013 the group extended its committed secured credit facility by 250 million to 650 million comprising a 400 million revolving credit 
facility and a 250 million termloan the facility with an expanded group of international banks provides significant liquidity to allow the group 
to continue to grow its fleet expand its global network and respond quickly to opportunities in the market the 250 million termloan is due for 
repayment on 1 january 2015 
the group has commenced discussions with its group of existing relationship banks regarding its refinancing strategy and expects to execute 
this strategy over the coming nine months

going concern
the group has committed secured credit facilities of 650 million comprising a 400 million revolving credit facility and a 250 million term
loan the 250 million termloan is due on 1 january 2015 within the timeframe of the going concern review the group is currently forecasting 
to meet the repayment of the termloan and while the group expects to refinance the 250 million termloan the group’s forecast cash flow 
headroom is sufficient to allow repayment of the loan on the maturity date
in order to ensure it remains within the terms of this facility including covenant requirements the group regularly produces cash flow 
statements and forecasts and sensitivities are run for different scenarios including but not limited to changes to contract start dates pricing 
and expected contract duration in the event of unexpected adverse changes to the group’s cash flows the directors are confident that 
the group could manage its financial affairs portfolio management and deferring of nonessential capital expenditure so as to ensure that 
sufficient funding remains available for the next twelve months
accordingly the directors believe that the group’s forecasts and projections taking account of reasonably possible changes in assumptions 
show that the group will be able to operate within the terms of its financing and bank facilities for the foreseeable future being twelve months 
from the date of this report
after making enquiries the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the group have adequate resources to continue in 
operational existence for the foreseeable future accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report 
and consolidated financial statements

environment
apr energy is dedicated to minimising our 
environmental impact throughout all business 
activities it undertakes around the globe we 
seek to incorporate the latest technologies 
in order to lower emissions and noise levels 
while increasing fuel efficiencies apr energy 
offers generating equipment capable of 
producing one of the highest fuel efficiency 
levels within our industry significantly cutting 
total cost for our customers while providing 
reduced carbon emissions
emissions
apr energy’s equipment is designed 
to function in all types of terrain and 
by careful design and use of the most 
suitable technology we aim to minimise the 
environmental impact of that equipment all 
our equipment is designed to comply with 
applicable laws regulations and industry 
standards wherever we operate in the world 
our generating equipment is controlled by 
stateoftheart programmable logic control 
plc systems which are automated to 
increase flexibility and decrease emission 
levels apr uses the international recognised 
air emissions modelling software ‘aermod’ 
to identify air emissions patterns for the 
project site this modelling allows apr to 
choose equipment that best matches the 
use and environment
when it comes to power generation fuel 
represents one of the highest operating 
costs which is why apr energy has placed 
a heavy focus on fuel efficiency with its 
technologically advanced fleet apr energy 
is uniquely positioned to utilise the most fuel
efficient equipment available in the fasttrack 
power market today thereby helping our 
customers to reduce the overall total cost of  annual report 2013   apr energy  43 
overview strategy performance directors’ report financial statements other information
their power project as the price and volatility 
of fuel continues to rise so will the need for 
more fuelefficient solutions t o meet this 
demand we continue to invest in leading
edge technology and innovative engineering 
that help customers operate more profitably 
and efficiently without sacrificing on 
emissions control 
our fleet of diesel and gas power modules 
and gas turbines combine advanced 
engine technology with our own proprietary 
processes and modifications to provide 
customers with cleaner and more fuel
efficient solutions 
as fuel efficiency rates can vary depending 
on factors like temperature altitude and 
fuel quality apr energy’s engineering and 
plant operations teams conduct ongoing 
reviews of our operations and perform fuel 
efficiency calculations by taking readings 
of fuel burned throughout a 24hour period 
and then comparing those numbers to the 
amount of energy produced we are able to 
provide an accurate forecast of fuel savings 
throughout the life of a project and make 
necessary adjustments to further boost the 
efficiency of our equipment
at apr energy we continuously strive 
to find new ways to lower our emissions 
footprint given the young age of our fleet 
and its flexibility in terms of technology and 
fueltype we are able to provide some of the 
cleanest solutions available in the fasttrack 
power market today all of our equipment 
is designed to perform in accordance 
with various internationally recognised 
standards including the world bank we 
apply advanced mitigation techniques 
and can meet more stringent emissions 
levels where required for local markets 
our generating equipment is controlled 
by stateoftheart electronic engine and 
generator management systems which 
greatly contributed to the mitigation of 
emissions levels this means no matter 
where our clients need us we can deliver 
optimised emissions solutions tailored for 
each application
our turbine technology provides a number 
of ways in which it can lower emissions 
including water injection which can increase 
power output improve fuel efficiency and 
decrease nitrogen oxides nox emissions  
gas turbines also use fewer consumables 
than other technologies
a key part of our strategy towards 
emissions control is our focus on natural 
gas apr energy enables customers to 
take advantage of this cleaner readily 
available fuel source through our mobile 
gas turbines as well as through our 
nextgeneration natural gas reciprocating 
power modules these technologies offer 
customers a cleaner more costeffective 
and lower impact alternative to dieselfuelled 
generators 
natural gas is one of the cleanest of all 
nonrenewable energy sources its use 
in place of the other fossil fuel types will 
emit fewer harmful pollutants natural gas 
is considered an environmentallyfriendly 
clean fuel offering important environmental 
benefits when compared with other fossil 
fuels including significantly lower levels of 
nox carbon dioxide co
2
 and virtually no 
sulphur oxides sox the near nonexistent 
sox emission rates means it is not a major 
contributor towards the cause of acid rain
for those customers requiring a diesel 
solution our dualfuel mobile turbines and 
diesel power modules provide market 
leading low emissions for example 
the average diesel truck produces more 
emissions in the form of nox and 
particulate matter than one of our diesel 
power modules 
our focus is to deliver power solutions we 
achieve this by providing our customers with 
the applications and technologies that best 
meet their requirements and preferences 
with regards to fuel type fuel efficiency and 
emissions we work with our partners ge 
and caterpillar to improve fuel efficiency 
technology and equipment for application 
also by investing in alternative fuels such as 
gas and fuelefficient engines we can seek 
to mitigate the impact of emissions arising 
from our growing business
almost all of the group’s ‘related’ emissions 
arise from those produced by the fleet there 
are three main factors driving apr energy’s 
total annual greenhouse gas “ghg” 
emissions which include the fuel type our 
customers choose to use the fleet mix and 
usage pattern and the fuel efficiency of the 
equipment we use as the decision of fuel 
choice and fleet usage remains with the 
client it is only the last of these factors that 
is within apr energy’s control 
as a growing business we expect the 
absolute amount of ghg emissions will 
increase as fleet capacity and utilisation 
increases in addition there is another trade
off to be considered – lower nox emissions 
come at the cost of higher fuel consumption 
therefore our customers’ focus on fuel 
efficiency could result in higher emissions
in accordance with the companies act 2006 
strategic report and directors’ report 
regulations 2013 our greenhouse gas  44  apr energy  annual report 2013
emissions for the period 1 january to 31 
december 2013 are reported in the directors 
report on page 73
noise
through the use of custombuilt acoustic 
enclosures as well as highperformance 
isolation and attenuation systems apr 
energy actively seeks to minimise the noise 
levels associated with our power plants 
when our equipment is located in or near 
a local population we have a system of 
regular noise monitoring and community 
coordination to help ensure that we are in 
compliance with all noise regulations and 
are not negatively affecting the surrounding 
quality of life
our reciprocating power modules typically 
operate at decibel levels between 72 and 
76 dba at a standard distance of 15 
metres under normal operation and ambient 
conditions apr energy provides a standard 
noise solution package which minimises 
external noise by the installation of sound 
attenuating louvers and insulation as well 
as providing topquality internal mufflers if 
necessary apr’s engineering staff is trained 
in noise mitigation and has the capability 
to decrease standard noise levels to meet 
critical noise specifications
waste
the apr energy engineering team has 
placed a major focus on designing our 
power plants to minimise waste during 
the installation phase we accomplish this 
through the use of more reusable and 
durable materials as well as by precutting 
and fabricating as many items in advance as 
possible these efforts decrease the amount 
of materials that we have to dispose of at the 
end of the project
apr energy actively promotes recycling 
within its processes facilities and 
operations and implements a waste 
management policy to focus on the recycling 
of all wastes as an example each apr 
plant recycles the oil that it produces every 
month  
health and safety
apr energy is committed to high standards 
of occupational health and safety to protect 
its employees contractors customers 
suppliers and visitors the health and 
wellbeing of those who work in and around 
each power project site is of the utmost 
importance to us we not only ensure that 
basic requirements are met but aim to go 
above and beyond those requirements to 
provide employees with the most optimal 
work environment possible as a result 
of these efforts we are pleased to again 
report that we had no employee onthejob 
fatalities in 2013
a wellstructured health and safety 
programme is key to our business success 
and serves as a prescribed requirement of 
the apr energy ehs policy the programme 
is led by a dedicated team of ehs leaders 
and specialists located throughout our 
onsite operations worldwide our ehs 
programme is in accordance with leading 
international standards including the us 
occupational osha guidelines and the uk

internal controls
the board of directors acknowledges 
its responsibility for the oversight of the 
group’s system of internal controls and for 
reviewing its effectiveness the group’s 
system of internal controls is designed 
to manage rather than eliminate risk it 
provides reasonable but not absolute 
assurance against material misstatement 
or loss
to assist in its execution of these 
responsibilities the group has recently 
established an internal audit function 
responsible for the independent review of 
the group’s risk management and control 
environment its objective is to provide 
reliable valued and timely assurance to the 
board of directors the audit committee 
the chief executive officer and the senior 
management team as to the effectiveness 
of controls in mitigating current and 
evolving risks and in so doing enhancing 
the controls environment within the group
in particular internal audit will assist the 
senior management team by performing 
independent appraisals of the effectiveness 
of the internal control environment and 
making recommendations for improvement 
and support the group’s business 
management system the audit committee 
will review and approve internal audit’s 
programme and resources review and 
discuss major findings of audit reviews 
together with management responses and 
evaluate the effectiveness of the internal 
audit function

recorded in an active risks register with 
mitigating actions the group continues 
to develop its risk management systems 
and processes to help to ensure that its 
responses remain appropriate to the range 
of risks that the group faces
principal risks and uncertainties
the following factors and other information 
contained in this annual report should 
be considered carefully the following is 
a description of the risks that may affect 
some or all of the group’s activities and 
which may affect the value of an investment 
in the company’s securities if any of 
the events described below occurs the 
business financial condition or results of 
operations of the group could be affected 
adversely in a material way
additional risks and uncertainties that the 
group is unaware of or that it currently 
deems immaterial may also in the future 
have a material adverse effect on the 
group’s business results of operations and 
financial condition
effective risk management
the effective identification and 
management of risk is critical to apr 
energy’s success and the following 
systematic approach is applied across 
the group
l identifying key risks the group 
applies the same methodology to 
identifying risk at all levels across the 
group key and emerging risks are 
reviewed on a regular and ongoing 
basis
l analysing risks and controls risks 
are evaluated to assess financial and 
nonfinancial impacts the likelihood of 
occurrence and the potential impact 
this results in a prioritised register 
of risks against which management 
will review the nature adequacy and 
appropriateness of current controls to 
mitigate these risks 
l determining management actions 
if new different or additional actions 
are identified these are analysed and 
appropriate responsibilities to execute 
them are assigned
l reporting and monitoring 
management is responsible for 
monitoring the effectiveness of 
controls and progress of actions 
taken to mitigate key risks this will 
be assessed through the group’s 
recently established internal audit

principal risks and uncertainties
strategic
market
the group’s strategy is primarily based on 
organic growth via the deployment of capital 
into new temporary power projects that are value 
accretive this organic growth is dependent 
on the group’s ability to effectively secure new 
projects and to scale the infrastructure of the 
business to support execution
the group operates in an industry where the 
majority of contracts are shortterm typically 
12 18 months and there are no assurances 
that any particular customer will renew or extend 
a contract
given the scale of the group’s albeit growing 
customer base the loss of any single major 
customer andor high concentration of assets 
could have an adverse impact on the results of 
its operations
the global footprint of the group’s business 
exposes it to risks of change in economic condi
tions and political regimes
customer demand inherently fluctuates and in 
many cases it is driven by external events that 
are difficult to predict
while barriers to entry in the temporary power 
space remain high there is the potential for new 
or expanding entrants to compete with the group
the inability to deploy successfully capital into 
new projects and maintain its growing fleet could 
have a material adverse effect on the financial 
results of the group
assets may be idle for a period of time before they 
are redeployed in a revenue generating capacity
any such loss of a major customer contract 
could materially impact revenues and associ
ated profitability
declines in economic activity slowing of growth 
rates and customer access to funding could 
impact the growth strategies of the business 
additionally changes in political regimes pose 
potential risk to existing contracts andor the 
timing of potential new contract opportunities
fluctuating demand can create volatility in trading 
results higher margin event emergency driven 
contracts may not be sustainable on a consistent 
basis
new entrants may create pricing pressure in the 
market and lead to reduced margins
failure to deliver the 
growth plan envisaged as 
part of the recent capital 
injections
volatility in customer 
demand including event 
driven demand

calculation based on this calculation and the committees consideration of the appropriateness of the key 
assumptions the committee considered and concluded that there is no reasonable possible change in the key 
assumptions utilised in the impairment calculations that would give rise to an impairment

matters the committee looked at a number of scenarios including recognition that part of the group’s financing

l policy and practice in respect of the useful lives of property plant and equipment
the committee is satisfied that all significant issues and risks have been managed appropriately and in accordance with the relevant

internal control and risk review
the board is responsible for the group’s system of internal control and reviews annually the effectiveness of the system of risk management 
and the internal controls framework the system is designed to manage rather than eliminate risk of failure to achieve business objectives 
and provides reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss
a comprehensive reporting structure was implemented during the year for the management of risk financial compliance and operational 
controls this includes regular at least annual review of the mechanisms in place to assess that risk is identified managed and controlled 
wherever possible 
key elements of the risk management and internal control framework include
l a detailed annual risk assessment process and
l structure of internal control policies and procedures
the risk assessment process conducted by management focuses on the identification of key risks to the annual business plan an assessment 
of the likelihood and potential impact of each risk a review of existing controls and their effectiveness and finally the identification of further 
actions to be taken to mitigate the risk factors the risk assessment is reviewed by the audit committee

and accountabilities in work flows for the effective operation and reporting in the business the review and approval of business plans budgets 
and investment programmes is conducted by the board regular reporting is provided to the board that not only covers performance on key 
financial metrics but also focuses on operational performance the group operates a whistle blowing procedure further details can be found 
on page 42
during the year the group has further enhanced its finance function to support the anticipated growth and demands of a listed business this 
continues to be monitored in evaluating the process to secure a premium listing and the extra requirements this would entail
the committee assesses the group’s internal risk management and financial control systems in order to help the board understand the 
efficacy of structures in place reflecting the growth of the business and the board’s focus on internal control the group has recruited a senior 
experienced individual as head of internal audit
internal audit
the audit committee has oversight responsibilities for the internal audit department following the establishment of an internal audit function in 
december 2013 the primary responsibility of the function is to provide independent objective assurance and consulting services designed to 
help the group accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk 
management control and governance processes
internal audit is responsible for the preparation and ongoing management of an annual audit plan which will be reviewed and approved by the 
audit committee and all reports arising therefrom are reviewed and assessed along with the related management’s actions to findings and 
recommendations 
since his appointment in late 2013 the head of internal audit is invited to and attends audit committee meetings and is also given the

external auditors
the audit committee has responsibility for making a recommendation on the appointment reappointment and removal of the auditors the 
auditor was reappointed auditor of the group at the annual general meeting held in may 2013 
audit tendering
the audit committee acknowledges the changes to the code the recent findings of the competition commission and the guidance for audit 
committees issued by the financial reporting council each in the context of tendering for the external audit contract at least every ten years 
a requirement which is currently voluntary for a standard listed company deloitte was appointed auditor to the company in 2011 the auditor 
is required to rotate the audit partner responsible for the group audit every five years 2011 was the first year of the current lead audit partner’s 
tenure
recognising the relatively recent appointment of the auditor the committee will continue to give consideration to the timing of the next formal 
tender in light of the regulatory requirements and any further changes in the regulatory framework in any event we do not anticipate that this 
will be earlier than the date of the rotation of the current senior statutory auditor there are no contractual obligations that restrict the choice of 
auditors
effectiveness of external audit process
t o assess the effectiveness of the external audit process the auditor is asked on an annual basis to articulate the steps that it has taken 
to ensure objectivity and independence including where the auditor provides nonaudit services apr energy monitors the auditor’s 
performance behaviour and effectiveness during the exercise of its duties which informs the audit committee’s decision to recommend 
reappointment on an annual basis this year the committee obtained a report on the auditor’s own quality control procedures and considered 
its annual audit quality and transparency report during 2013 the committee undertook a review to evaluate the performance of its auditor 
this was undertaken internally incorporating feedback from across the group including the management t eam the finance function and 
committee members for the 2013 financial year management were satisfied that there had been appropriate focus and challenge on the 
primary areas of audit risk and assessed the quality of the audit process to be good the committee concurred with the view of management
nonaudit services
the fees and performance of the auditor are reviewed annually the committee aims to ensure that the provision of nonaudit services does not 
impair the integrity independence and objectivity of the company’s auditor this has been achieved by adhering to the accounting practices 
board ethical standard number 5 relating to ‘nonaudit services provided to audited entities’ the committee has reviewed and monitored the 
nature and extent of nonaudit services and challenged it where appropriate the committee has also reviewed the fees both individually and 
in aggregate relative to the audit fee noting that all significant nonaudit services work required committee approval before commencement
it is acknowledged that in some circumstances the auditor’s understanding of the business can be beneficial in improving the efficiency and 
effectiveness of advisory work and therefore it has been considered appropriate that the auditor be engaged it was also determined that the 
nature of the work would not undermine auditor objectivity and independence in total 12m 2012 08m was spent on nonaudit services 
during the year of which 08m 2012 nil related to acquisition of the ge power rental business and 01m 2012 04m related to the 
interim review the work undertaken on the acquisition of the ge power rental business is work that would usually be expected to be done by 
the company’s auditor as there are significant synergies and timing benefits to the company as such the committee considers that this level 
of nonaudit fees relative to the audit fee of 10m 2012 09m is acceptable for further details see note 9
independence
the committee requires confirmation at least annually from the auditor that it possesses the suitable independence and impartiality to 
continue to serve the company as auditor the committee reviews the expertise performance and effectiveness of the auditor based on the 
reviews conducted the committee has satisfied itself that the uk professional and regulatory requirements for audit partner rotation have been 
complied with 
reappointment of the auditor
in light of the reviews undertaken and the satisfactory conclusions reached the committee has recommended that a resolution proposing to 
reappoint deloitte now in its third year as the group’s auditor for a further year be put to shareholders at the 2014 agm 66  apr energy  annual report 2013

greenhouse gas “ghg” emissions
the following information reflects the company’s mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to the act’s strategic report 
and directors’ report regulations 2013 the “regulations” under the regulations the emission categories captured within the definitions 
reflect all material emission sources for which the group is deemed responsible 
the group has decided to measure ghg emissions using an operational control approach the organisational boundary has been set to reflect 
those activities within the group’s control meaning that the group does not have responsibility for any emission sources that are beyond the 
boundary of its operational control fleet emission are driven by three main factors the fuel type customers chose to use the pattern of their 
usage and the fuel efficiency of the group’s fleet only the last of these three factors is under the group’s control therefore emissions arising 
from these other factors has not been measured 
the group does not manufacture any products or equipment and has identified the following key activities as being within the ghg reporting 
requirements
–– scope 1 fleet emissions reflecting all fuel types burned within the group’s power generating equipment including reciprocating engines 
and dualfuel turbines used across all geographies within the group’s control
 –– scope 2 heat and electricity purchased from the respective local suppliers for siteoffice usage and group owned and operated site 
vehicles this has been calculated as nonmaterial and would reflect less than 1 of emissions and has therefore not been included
at present scope 3 activities eg business travel freight shipping are excluded from the reporting scope as these are not within the group’s 
operational control nor is it believed that the quality of the data would not be sufficiently robust for accurate reporting in these areas 
the group has identified ghg emissions per megawatt hour mwh as the most appropriate kpi referred to as the intensity ratio this ratio 
will be impacted by fuel type fuel quality and power generation equipment type the determination of each of these factors rests with the client

remuneration for 2013
executive remuneration for the year was 
set in accordance with the outcome of a 
detailed review of the remuneration policy 
and levels for the executive directors 
undertaken by the committee and its 
advisers as detailed in our 2012 directors’ 
remuneration report this review sought 
to align remuneration to drive longterm 
shareholder value growth development and 
sustainability and ensure that the company 
is able to attract and retain the top talent in 
the industry 
the committee consulted with a number 
of the company’s major institutional 
shareholders including those represented 
on the board in relation to these changes 
equating to an aggregate shareholding 
in excess of 50 those consulted were 
altogether supportive of the changes and 
shareholders voted overwhelmingly in 
support as reflected by their 98 favourable 
vote at the 2013 agm
the company has continued to seek to 
align the longterm interests of shareholders 
the senior management team including 
the chief executive officer and other 
employees in the group by significantly 
increasing participation in the company’s 
share award plan 2012 – with participation 
now cascaded to all levels of the group and 
with approximately 130 total participants 
details of the remuneration decisions for 
2013 are set out in the directors’ annual 
remuneration report which follows
the committee believes that the 
performance of john campion has been 
strong throughout the year under his 
leadership and vision the group has effected 
a transformational acquisition and moved 
at pace with its ambitions remuneration for 
the year reflects the group’s strong financial 
performance and is disclosed on page 
84 of the directors’ remuneration report 
this performance resulted in the award of 
a bonus representing 107 of target to the 
chief executive for 2013 the performance  
conditions of the 2011 ltip award relating 
the period ending 31 december 2013 were 
not met and therefore did not vest

following the extensive remuneration review 
in 2012 the committee has with this in 
mind made no material or substantial 
changes to the company’s executive director 
remuneration arrangements during 2013
during 2013 the remuneration arrangements 
for the chairman and nonexecutive directors 
were reviewed by the committee this review 
resulted in changes to the fee structure and 
fee levels effective january 1 2014 these

commitment and contribution that is expected 
from the chairman and nonexecutive 
directors and is commensurate with

reward principles 
our policy on remuneration
the group’s remuneration policy is set based on the remuneration committee’s recommendations subject to board approval the committee 
seeks to provide fair and appropriate remuneration across the group and to retain key talent within the organisation in setting remuneration 
levels the committee has regard to comparable uk and us energy market peers in terms of size geographical spread and complexity it also 
considers pay and employment conditions elsewhere in the group
remuneration levels and the relative importance of its different components are commensurate with those of the company’s uk and us 
energy market peers with similar revenue and market capitalisation levels  in considering these comparators the committee reflects apr 
energy’s position as a uk listed company and acknowledge that the group’s international business operating within multiple financial markets 
is inherently more complex than many of its comparators 
the key elements of the chief executive officer’s remuneration are base salary and benefits an annual bonus plan and longterm incentive 
plans
each element is designed to achieve specific objectives in aggregate the different elements create a unified and balanced reward mix and 
competitive employment proposition the individual elements are described in more details in the remuneration policy table on pages 77 to 80 
the committee considers it essential to ensure that our remuneration arrangements are fully aligned with the ambition and achievement of our 
profitable growth strategy and enhancing longterm shareholder value 
the intention is to provide remuneration packages that help attract retain and motivate with a significant proportion of the remuneration of the 
executive members of the senior management team including the chief executive officer being structured to link rewards to both corporate 
and individual performance performance related elements of senior executive remuneration seek to promote the longterm success of the 
group and are compatible with the group’s risk policies and systems
the committee takes into consideration performance on environmental social and governance esg issues and it believes that no element 
of the executive incentive structure raises esg risks through inadvertently motivating irresponsible behaviour or the taking of any undue risks 
with the business
stretching performance targets 
the remuneration committee considers that a successful remuneration policy must ensure that a significant part of the remuneration package 
is linked to the achievement of stretching corporate performance targets and a strong alignment of interest with shareholders reflecting our 
pay for performance policy bonus and share awards are linked to performance conditions with predetermined targets no payment is made 
below threshold levels of performance and at stretch levels of performance a majority of total compensation is delivered through performance
related incentives paid in a combination of cash and shares
competitive remuneration
the intention is to provide remuneration packages that help attract retain and motivate the members of the senior management team to 
achieve the group’s objectives of delivering growth in profits and enhancing longterm shareholder value the remuneration package and 
the relative importance of its different components are based on a view of both uk and us energy market peers with target compensation 
set around the median and the ability for exceptional performance to be rewarded through variable pay methods at the upper quartile of the 
market remuneration should reflect best practice among our peer groups support our strategy and have regard to governance principles 
around remuneration
commercial sensitivity with regards to disclosure of performance measures and targets 
it is expected that commercially sensitivity measures targets and outcomes particularly strategic and personal annual bonus targets will not 
be disclosed retrospectively where the committee considers this is not in the company’s commercial interests

as noted above performance measures apply to the annual bonus and the longterm incentive plan ltip these were chosen and targets are set as follows
• annual bonus – the specific metrics and their weightings are set by the committee in the light of the board’s assessment of the strategic imperatives facing the
company and the budgets and other operational plans adopted by the board to best address both short and longerterm imperatives management proposes 
suitable metrics which are quantitative wherever possible and levels of performance to form the threshold ontarget and maximum levels of attainment the 
committee then assesses whether achievement of these is appropriately aligned with shareholders’ interests and whether the reward that would accrue to the 
executive directors would be justifiable they also examine whether the metric is consistent with the requirements of prudent risk management and does not itself 
create perverse incentives and good governance
• ltip – after consulting with shareholders in 2012 it was determined that the ltip plan was fully aligned with the strategic imperatives facing the company could 
easily be adapted to changing circumstances and so represented a strong means of assessing valuecreating activities by including a longerterm assessment of 
annualised earnings per share growth over a minimum of three years a clear incentive is created to manage the business for value over the longer term details of 
outstanding awards under the company’s ltips are set out on page 118

terms of appointment of directors
executive directors’ service contracts are carefully considered by 
the committee the committee considers that a rolling contract 
with a notice period of 12 months is appropriate a longer initial 
period of notice of up to 36 months may be used where considered 
appropriate in order to secure the recruitment of an external 
candidate
the appointment of nonexecutive directors is normally for a fixed 
term of three years during which time the appointment may be 
terminated by the board or by the company’s shareholders on 
notice
exit payments
in the event of early termination an executive director may receive 
compensation up to a maximum of basic salary retirement benefit 
entitlement and other contractual benefits over the notice period 
the committee will consider mitigation where appropriate having 
regard to the circumstances
there is no automatic entitlement to annual bonus executive 
directors’ may receive a bonus in respect of the financial year of 
cessation based on performance against predetermined targets 
where an executive director leaves by reason of death disability or 
illheath they may receive a prorata bonus for the year of cessation
the treatment of leavers under the company’s longterm incentive 
plans is determined by the rules of the relevant plans the committee 
will determine when awards vest and the period during which awards 
may be exercised
performance shares lapse if the participant leaves employment in 
case of termination for cause or resignation in other cases normally 
including death and ill health injury or disability redundancy and 
retirement the committee may determine that awards vest at the end 
of the performance period and are prorated for time performance 
conditions would apply however the committee has the discretion 
to allow the award to vest on cessation of employment on a prorata 
basis or otherwise if having regard to progress towards meeting the 
performance conditions at that point 
the committee may vest the award on any other basis if it believes 
there are exceptional circumstances which warrant that for example 
it can be in the interest of the company for the board to proactively 
organise succession and manage an executive’s departure when 
determining the treatment of outstanding awards in those cases the 
committee will take into account the executive’s level of performance 
and contribution to the transition
no compensation is payable to nonexecutive directors on leaving 
office
approach to recruitment remuneration
the remuneration package for a new executive director would be 
set in accordance with the terms of the approved remuneration 
policy in force at the time of appointment the committee may offer 
a package that will be sufficient to attract and retain the highcalibre 
talent necessary to develop and deliver the business strategy the 
committee may offer additional cash andor sharebased elements 
when it considers these to be in the best interests of the company 
and therefore shareholders the committee will seek to ensure 
that no more is paid than is necessary any buyout payments 
would be intended to be no more than is necessary to compensate 
for remuneration lost due to leaving the former employer and 
would reflect the delivery mechanism ie cash shares options 
time horizons and performance requirements attaching to that 
remuneration 
the following elements may be considered by the committee for 
inclusion in a recruitment package for an executive director in 
addition to the policy elements set out in the table on pages 77 to 79 82  apr energy  annual report 2013
initial longterm 
incentive award
initial annual 
bonus 
opportunity
compensation for 
forfeited awards
sign on awards
relocation costs
an initial longterm incentive award may be 
made which may be higher than the maximum 
opportunity as set out on page 79
the committee will ensure
– the award is linked to the achievement of 
appropriate and challenging performance 
targets
– the award will be forfeited if the performance 
and continued employment conditions are 
not achieved
the initial annual bonus opportunity may be set 
higher than the approved policy
the committee will ensure the award is 
linked to the achievement of appropriate and 
challenging performance targets
the terms of any compensation will be 
determined by taking into account the terms of 
any forfeited awards including
– performance achieved or likely to be 
achieved
– the proportion of performancevesting period 
remaining and
– the form and timing of the original award
in certain limited circumstances for example 
in order to compensate for a loss at a previous 
employer other than for forfeited awards the 
committee may make a oneoff signon award 
as part of the initial package 
the committee retains the discretion to 
determine based on the circumstances at the 
time whether this would be in cash or shares 
whether or not performance conditions or an 
additional holding period would apply
where necessary the company will pay 
appropriate relocation costs in line with 
standard practice the committee will seek to 
ensure that no more is paid than is necessary
element approach fee levels for a new chairman or new nonexecutive directors will 
be determined in accordance with the policy set out in the policy 
table
consultation with our employees
although the committee does not consult directly with employees 
on the directors’ remuneration policy the committee considers 
the general basic salary increase remuneration arrangements and 
employment conditions for the broader employee population when 
determining remuneration policy for executive directors
statement of consideration of employment condi
tions elsewhere within the group
the remuneration policy for executives reflects the overriding 
remuneration philosophy and principles of the wider group 
when determining the remuneration policy and arrangements for 
executive directors the remuneration committee considers pay 
and employment conditions across the group which operates in a 
number of different countries and has employees who perform a 
diverse range of jobs the overall aim is that
l employees including the chief executive officer are paid by 
reference to the market rate
l the apr group promotes and offers internal promotion 
opportunities
l the group offers employment conditions which are commensurate 
with applicable laws where the group does business and
l the group offers a range of benefits depending on the employee 
location including retirement savings plans flexible benefits paid 
annual leave and healthcare insurance
as mentioned in the annual statement by the chairman of the 
remuneration committee the company has continued to seek 
to align the longterm interests of shareholders the management 
team including the chief executive officer and other employees in 
the group by significantly increasing participation in the company’s 
share award plan 2012 – with participation now cascaded to all 
levels of the group and with approximately 130 total participants
the committee seeks to encourage greater employee ownership 
and is considering the introduction of arrangements whereby 
employees would be able to participate in a us tax qualifying 
employee share purchase plan a uk tax qualifying share incentive 
plan andor a uk tax qualifying sharesave plan or equivalent plans 
tailored to reflect tax and legal considerations in other relevant 
jurisdictions offering an opportunity to acquire shares on beneficial 
terms it is envisaged that participation in such plans may be 
offered to as many employees as practicable up to the relevant 
statutory limits in common with most plans of this type it is not 
anticipated that performance conditions will apply
the company continues to review and evolve its mediumterm 
strategic plan the committee will seek to align the remuneration 
of key senior management excluding executive directors to the 
successful delivery of stretching performance targets in support of 
this plan the key difference from remuneration across the wider 
group will be an increased emphasis on performance related pay 
statement of consideration of shareholder views
the remuneration committee is committed to an ongoing 
dialogue with shareholders and seeks the views of the company’s 
largest shareholders when any major changes are being made 
to remuneration arrangements the committee notes that 
an enhanced initial notice period signon awards or increased initial 
annual bonus or longterm incentive award opportunities would only 
be made available in exceptional circumstances
apr energy plc is required to set out the maximum amount of 
variable pay which could be paid to a new director in order to 
provide the company with sufficient flexibility in a recruitment 
scenario the committee has set this figure as 650 of base salary 
excluding compensation for forfeited awards this represents the

going concern
we have reviewed the directors’ statement on page 74 that the 
group is a going concern we confirm that
l we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern 
basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements 
is appropriate and
l we have not identified any material uncertainties that may cast 
significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going 
concern
however because not all future events or conditions can be 
predicted this statement is not a guarantee as to the group’s ability 
to continue as a going concern
our assessment of risks of material misstatement
the assessed risks of material misstatement described below 
are those that had the greatest effect on our audit strategy the 
allocation of resources in the audit and directing the efforts of the 
engagement team
l accounting for ge power rental business acquisition  the 
valuation and accounting for the assets and contracts acquired 
from general electric company is considered a risk due to the 
judgemental nature of the valuations and the complexity of the 
accounting
l accounting for incomes taxes  the accounting for incomes taxes 
is considered a risk due to the diverse geographical nature of the 
group and the different tax legislation in place in the jurisdictions 
in which the group operates
l assessment of goodwill impairment risk  the assessment 
of the possibility of impairment of goodwill is considered a 
risk due to uncertainties in the forecast cash flows as a result 
of the temporary nature of the contracts and the inherent 
unpredictability of the business 
l valuation of founder securities  the valuation of founder 
securities is considered a risk due to the judgemental nature of 
assumptions such as volatility within the valuation as set out in 
note 25 which have a significant effect on the valuation
l revenue recognition at contract commencement  the timing 
of revenue recognition particularly at the commencement of 
contracts is considered a risk due to the judgemental nature 
in certain instances of when commercial operation dates have 
been achieved and hence when revenue recognition should 
commence and
l assessment of libya receivables recovery  the recoverability 
of the libya receivables balance is considered a risk due to the 
length of time outstanding and the amount of the balance at year 
end
how the scope of our audit responded to these 
risks
accounting for ge power rental business acquisition  we 
obtained supporting evidence for management’s assessment of 
the acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ifrs 
3 business combinations we obtained the valuations of acquired 
assets and liabilities from management which had been prepared 
by thirdparty experts and engaged and worked with valuation 
specialists to validate the valuation assumptions used we tested 
the accuracy of the acquisition balance sheet to assess whether 
the purchase price allocation was appropriate and prepared in 
accordance with ifrs 3 business combinations and we reviewed 
the disclosures in the financial statements to assess whether they 
were compliant with ifrs
accounting for incomes taxes  we worked with tax specialists to 
understand the tax legislation governing the group’s contracts and 
the jurisdictions in which the group operated during the year we 
obtained the group’s taxation computations in respect of current 
financial statements annual report 2013   apr energy  93 
overview strategy performance directors’ report financial statements other information
and deferred tax and assessed the computations for compliance 
with local tax legislation and ias 12 income taxes we tested 
corporation tax payments made and refunds received and we 
evaluated judgemental tax exposures and provisions including the 
recoverability of deferred tax assets obtaining supporting evidence 
for the position taken by management in respect of the probability 
and amount of potential exposures 
assessment of goodwill impairment risk  we obtained a copy of the 
valuation model used to determine the value in use of the business 
we checked that forecasts used in the model had been reviewed 
by the board of directors we evaluated the key assumptions within 
the model including the discount rate used and the revenue and 
cost assumptions relating to existing and forecast contracts by 
comparing to external contractual historical or other data and to 
assess whether assumptions had been determined and applied in 
accordance with ias 36 impairment of assets we also tested the 
mechanical accuracy of the model
valuation of founder securities  we worked with valuation 
specialists to review the montecarlo model used to value the 
founder securities the specialists tested the valuation and 
underlying assumptions within the montecarlo model and 
assessed the accuracy and integrity of the model calculations we 
also reviewed the related disclosures in note 25 of the financial 
statements
revenue recognition at contract commencement  we obtained 
copies of sales contracts evidence of commercial operation dates 
and generation reports to assess whether revenue had been 
recognised in accordance with the terms of each contract and ias 
18 revenue we also performed testing of invoices before and after 
the year end to test whether revenue had been recorded in the 
appropriate period
assessment of libya receivables recovery  we obtained and 
reviewed sales contracts and the letter of credit agreements 
applicable to the libya contract validated the terms of the 
contracts and agreements to determine the billing and payment 
arrangements and understood whether the outstanding balance at 
the year end was covered by the letter of credit agreement we also 
obtained a sample of the related sales invoices to assess whether 
they were appropriately approved and that revenue had been 
recognised in the appropriate period tested post year end cash 
receipts and assessed whether any provision was required against 
the outstanding balance
the audit committee’s consideration of these risks is set out on 
page 63
our audit procedures relating to these matters were designed in the 
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and not 
to express an opinion on individual accounts or disclosures our 
opinion on the financial statements is not modified with respect to 
any of the risks described above and we do not express an opinion 
on these individual matters
our application of materiality
we define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement in the 
financial statements that makes it probable that the economic 
decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be 
changed or influenced we use materiality both in planning the 
scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work
we determined materiality for the group to be 35 million which is 
approximately 7 of adjusted pretax profit excluding amortisation 
of intangible assets arising from the 2011 acquisition transaction 
costs relating to the 2013 acquisition and founder securities 
revaluations these adjustments are made consistently by the 
group in their earnings communications with the market and in the 
opinion of the directors provide a more comparable measure with 
similar organisations and are consistent with the profit measures 
that are most relevant to analysts and investors materiality is below 
1 of equity 
we agreed with the audit committee that we would report to the 
committee all audit differences in excess of 70000 as well 
as differences below that threshold that in our view warranted 
reporting on qualitative grounds  we also report to the audit 
committee on disclosure matters that we identified when assessing 
the overall presentation of the financial statements 
an overview of the scope of our audit
our audit planning identified the group’s business to be a single 
component and therefore all of the operations of the group were 
subject to a full scope audit during the course of the audit senior

3  significant accounting policies
basis of preparation
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 
international financial reporting standards ifrss the financial 
statements have also been prepared in accordance with ifrss 
adopted by the european union and therefore the group financial 
statements comply with article 4 of the eu ias regulation the group 
financial statements also comply with ifrs as issued by the iasb
the financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost 
basis historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the 
consideration given in exchange for the assets 
the parent company financial statements are prepared in accordance 
with ifrss as adopted by the european union the parent company 
financial statements are included on pages 124 to 131 and have been 
prepared in accordance with section 396 of the companies act 2006 
under section 408 of the companies act 2006 the parent company 
is exempt from the requirement to present its profit and loss account 
the principal accounting policies adopted and consistently applied 
are set out below
basis for consolidation
the consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial 
statements of the company and entities controlled by the company 
its subsidiaries control is achieved where the company has the 
power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee 
entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities
the results of subsidiaries acquired during the year are included 
in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the 
effective date of acquisition all intragroup transactions balances 
unrealised gains or losses income and expenses are eliminated on 
consolidation 
 
use of estimates
the preparation of consolidated financial statements is in conformity 
with ifrs  ifrs requires the use of certain critical accounting esti
mates it also requires management to exercise its judgement in 
the process of applying the group’s accounting policies the areas 
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity or areas 
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated 
financial statements are disclosed in note 4
going concern
the directors are satisfied that the group has sufficient resources to 
continue in operation for the foreseeable future a period of not less 
than 12 months from the date of this report the group’s principal 
debt facilities totalling 6500 million are provided by a syndicate of 
banks under a revolving credit facility and a term loan which expire 
on 28 november 2016 and 1 january 2015 respectively the group’s 
forecasts and projections show that the facilities in place currently 
notes 
to the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 31 december 2013 100  apr energy  annual report 2013
are anticipated to be sufficient for meeting the group’s operational 
requirements accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern 
basis in preparing the financial statements further detail is contained 
in the financial review on page 39
business combinations
acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the 
acquisition method the consideration for each acquisition is measured 
at the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of assets 
given liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued 
by the company in exchange for control of the acquiree acquisition 
related costs are recognised in comprehensive income as incurred
where applicable the consideration for the acquisition includes 
any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration 
arrangement measured at its acquisitiondate fair value 
subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against in the 
statement of comprehensive income all other subsequent changes 
in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset 
or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant ifrss 
changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as 
equity are not recognised
the acquiree’s identifiable assets liabilities and contingent liabilities 
that meet the conditions for recognition under ifrs3 2008 are 
recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date except that
l deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to 
employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured 
in accordance with ias 12 income taxes and ias 19 employee 
benefits respectively
l liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by 
the group of an acquiree’s sharebased payment awards are 
measured in accordance with ifrs 2 sharebased payment and
l assets that are classified as held for sale in accordance with ifrs 
5 noncurrent assets held for sale and discontinued operations 
are measured in accordance with that standard 
goodwill
goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an 
asset at the date that control is acquired the acquisition date 
goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration 
transferred the amount of any controlling interest in the acquiree 
and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest 
if any in the entity over the net of the acquisitiondate amounts of 
the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed if after 
reassessment the group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets varies from the sum of the consideration 
transferred the excess is recognised immediately in comprehensive 
income as a bargain purchase gain
goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least 
annually for the purpose of impairment testing goodwill is 
allocated to each of the group’s cashgenerating units expected 
to benefit from the synergies of the combination cashgenerating 
units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment 
annually or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit 
may be impaired if the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating 
unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit the impairment 
loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill 
allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro
rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit 
an impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a 
subsequent period    
revenue
the group derives revenue from short to mediumterm contracts 
that provide customers with comprehensive power generation 
services including temporary power solutions that include 
installation and dismantling services operations and maintenance 
of the power generating equipment operations monitoring and 
logistical support
the group’s contracts generally include fixed and variablepricing 
components the group earns the fixed portion of revenue on 
contracts by providing capacity based on a specified number of 
megawatts mw to the customer the group’s contracts for the 
periods presented in the consolidated financial statements primarily 
represent lease contracts which are accounted for as operating 
leases the group determines lease classification on a contract
specific basis
the revenue on these contracts is recognised as follows 
fixed revenues
due to the fact that the fixed portion of the contract is based on actual 
capacity available the payments are considered contingent rent 
and revenue is recognised when earned as the lesser of the amount 
billable under the contract or an amount determined by the kilowatt
hours “kwhs” made available during the period multiplied by the 
estimated average revenue per kwh over the term of the contract
variable revenues
the group earns the variable portion of revenue based on the 
actual amount of energy that the group delivers to the customer as 
measured in kilowatt hours kwhs the revenue associated with the 
variable price component of the contract is recognised as earned 
during the period that energy is produced and delivered
segment reporting
an operating segment is a component of an entity whose operating 
results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision 
maker to make decisions about resource allocation and assess its 
performance the group has identified the chief operating decision 
maker as its chief executive officer
the group continues to identify one operating segment based on 
the financial information regularly provided to the chief operating 
decision maker and the methods by which the chief operating 
decision maker assesses the group’s performance and makes 
decisions about resource allocation the group periodically 
evaluates this conclusion by considering any changes in facts and 
circumstances
leases
leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the 
lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to 
the lessee all other leases are classified as operating leases
as lessee
assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of 
the group at their fair value or if lower at the present value of the 
minimum lease payments each determined at the inception of the 
lease the corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the 
statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation
lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and 
reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of 
interest on the remaining balance of the liability finance expenses 
are recognised immediately in comprehensive income
rentals payable under operating leases are charged to income on a 
notes to the consolidated financial statements annual report 2013   apr energy  101 
overview strategy performance directors’ report financial statements other information
straightline basis over the term of the relevant lease  
as lessor
amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised 
as receivables at the amount of the group’s net investment in the 
leases finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so 
as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the group’s net 
investment outstanding in respect of the leases
rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight
line basis over the term of the relevant lease initial direct costs 
incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added 
to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a 
straightline basis over the lease term
provision for income taxes
the group comprises operations in various jurisdictions and it is 
likely that if the structure of these operations were to change there 
would be an impact to the effective tax rate and tax liability of the 
group
while certain of the group’s operations are not subject to tax the 
operations may be subject to income and withholding taxes in other 
tax jurisdictions in preparing these financial statements the group 
applies the following accounting policies
withholding tax
withholding taxes are imposed in certain jurisdictions where 
the group makes crossborder payments to related parties and 
where the customer makes cross border payments to the group 
in general withholding taxes are imposed on payments such as 
operating leases variable revenue rents royalties dividend and 
certain service payments the paying entity acts as the collecting 
agent and remits the payments to the taxing authorities the group 
includes its withholding tax expense in the taxation line in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income
current tax
the current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax 
laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial 
position date in the countries where the group operates generates 
taxable income and is subject to tax under local country tax law
management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns 
with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is 
subject to interpretation it establishes provisions where appropriate 
based on amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities 
taxable profit differs from net profits as reported in the statement 
of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or 
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further 
excludes items that are never taxable or deductible the group’s 
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date
deferred tax
deferred income tax is recognised using the liability method on 
temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements 
deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been 
enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial 
position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred 
income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability 
is settled deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all 
taxable temporary differences deferred income tax assets are 
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable 
profit will be available against which the temporary differences can 
be utilised the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed 
at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no 
longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to 
allow all or part of the asset to be recovered
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there 
is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets 
and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable 
entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net 
basis deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected 
to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is 
realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted at 
the balance sheet date deferred tax is charged or credited in the 
statement of comprehensive income except when it relates to items 
charged or credited in other comprehensive income in which case 
the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income
foreign currencies
the individual financial statements of each group company are 
presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in 
which it operates its functional currency 
for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements the results 
and financial position of each group company are expressed in 
us dollars which is the functional currency of the material trading 
entities and the presentational currency for these consolidated 
financial statements 
in preparing the financial statements of the individual companies 
transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency 
foreign currencies are recognised at the rates of exchange 
prevailing on the dates of the transactions at each balance sheet 
date monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign 
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date non
monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign 
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the 
fair value was determined nonmonetary items that are measured 
in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated
for the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements the 
assets and liabilities of the group’s foreign operations are translated 
at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date income and 
expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the 
period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period 
in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are 
used exchange differences arising if any are recognised in other 
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity
intangible assets
intangibles assets acquired as part of a business combination 
are capitalised separately from goodwill at fair value at the date 
of acquisition if the asset is separable or arises from contractual 
or other legal rights and its fair value can be measured reliably 
assets such as customer contracts have a finite useful life and are 
amortised over their useful economic life being the contract length
the acquired intangible assets relating to the brand and trademark 
are being amortised over 25 years and 10 years respectively
the useful life of intangible assets is reviewed on an annual basis 102  apr energy  annual report 2013
property and equipment
property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and any recognised impairment loss the cost is 
the purchase price of the property and equipment including any 
related shipping costs certain purchase contracts allow the group 
to hold back a percentage of the purchase price until a warranty 
period expires purchase price retentions are classified as a liability 
and reported in current or noncurrent liabilities depending on the 
anticipated payout period 
costs incurred to mobilise and install power generating equipment 
pursuant to a contract are also captured in property and equipment 
and are depreciated over the life of the contract to which the power 
generating equipment relates or for contract extensions over the 
expected contract life at the point at which the contract extension is 
deemed probable
the cost of property and equipment also includes when applicable 
a decommissioning cost which represents the initial fair value 
of the associated decommissioning liability a decommissioning 
liability is established when there is a legal obligation associated 
with the retirement of a longlived asset and the amount can be 
reasonably estimated see note 22
subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying value or 
recognised as a separate asset as appropriate only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will 
flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably 
all other repairs and maintenance expenditures are recorded within 
the statement of comprehensive income as incurred
depreciation is computed using the straightline method applied 
to individual items over their estimated useful lives or for dualfuel 
turbines based on machine run hours over their estimated total 
machine run hours management uses judgement in determining 
the useful lives of its property and equipment considering the 
following factors expected usage expected wear and tear and 
technological or commercial obsolescence of the generators 
management reassesses useful lives annually a summary of the 
lives used for computing depreciation is as follows
office furniture 57 years
machinery and equipment 725 years
mobilisation and installation assets 15 years
vehicles 5 years
computer and software 3 years
dualfuel turbines 18750  100000 machine run hours
the group reviews longlived assets for impairment whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value 
of an asset may not be recoverable and exceeds fair value  
impairment 
tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill
at each balance sheet date the group reviews the carrying 
amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine 
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered 
an impairment loss if any such indication exists the recoverable 
amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the 
impairment loss if any where the asset does not generate cash 
flows that are independent from other assets the group estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the 
asset belongs an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is 
tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an 
indication that the asset may be impaired
recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and 
value in use in assessing value in use the estimated future cash 
flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risk specific to the asset for which the estimates of 
future cash flows have not been adjusted
if the recoverable amount of an asset or cashgenerating unit is 
estimated to be less than its carrying amount the carrying amount 
of the asset or cashgenerating unit is reduced to its recoverable 
amount an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the 
statement of comprehensive income unless the relevant asset is 
carried at a revalued amount in which case the impairment loss is 
treated as a revaluation decrease
where an impairment loss subsequently reverses the carrying 
amount of the asset or cashgenerating unit is increased to 
the revised estimate of its recoverable amount but so that the 
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount 
that would have been determined had no impairment loss been 
recognised for the asset or cashgenerating unit in prior years 
a reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the 
statement of comprehensive income unless the relevant asset 
is carried at a revalued amount in which case the reversal of the 
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase 
financial assets
the group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether 
there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of 
financial assets is impaired a financial asset or a group of financial 
assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if 
there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or 
more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset 
“loss event” and that loss event or events has an impact on 
the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of 
financial assets that can be reliably estimated
trade and other receivables are considered past due if any portion 
of an account has not been paid in full within the contractual terms 
of the account the group assesses its ability to collect receivables 
that are past due and provides for an adequate allowance for 
doubtful accounts based on the financial stability recent payment 
history of the customer letters of credit in place and other pertinent 
factors related to the creditworthiness of the customer the 
allowance for doubtful accounts includes specific amounts for 
those accounts that are deemed likely to be uncollectible upon 
permanent impairment the trade receivable is written off against the 
allowance for doubtful accounts 
financial instruments
the group classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities 
into the following categories fair value through profit or loss 
and loans and receivables for financial assets and fair value 
through profit and loss and other financial liabilities for financial 
liabilities the classification depends on the purpose for which the 
financial instruments were acquired management determines the 
classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition
effective interest method
the effective interest method is a method of calculating the finance 
notes to the consolidated financial statements annual report 2013   apr energy  103 
overview strategy performance directors’ report financial statements other information
income generated by a financial asset and the amortised cost of 
a financial liability including allocating interest expense over the 
relevant period the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly 
discounts estimated future cash payments including all fees paid 
or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate 
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts through the 
expected life of the financial liability to the net carrying amount on 
initial recognition
loans and receivables
trade and other receivables are nonderivative financial assets with 
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market they are included in current assets except for maturities 
greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period 
these are classified as noncurrent assets the group’s loans 
and receivables are recorded as deposits and trade and other 
receivables in the consolidated statement of financial position
trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest rate method less any impairment interest 
income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate except 
for shortterm receivables when the recognition of interest would be 
immaterial
cash and cash equivalents
cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid 
investments that can be readily converted into cash or that have an 
original maturity of three months or less
borrowings
borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less transaction 
costs incurred borrowings are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method under this 
method finance costs of borrowings are allocated to periods over 
the term of the related debt at a constant rate on the carrying 
amount where transaction costs have been incurred but the facility 
not drawn down at the balance sheet date these are shown in 
capitalised finance costs when the facility is drawn down these 
amounts are shown net of borrowings
trade and other payables
trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that 
have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from 
suppliers accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if 
payment is due within one year or less 
trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and 
subsequently measured at their amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method
deposits
the group maintains bid or performance bonds secured by cash 
deposits for various contracts to guarantee the group’s obligations 
under the terms of the contracts the return of such deposits is 
subject to performance of the group during the contract term 
deposits are recorded at cost less any provision for impairment
financial liabilities and equity
debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial 
liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the 
contractual arrangement
equity instruments
an equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual 
interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities 
equity instruments issued by the company are recognised at the 
proceeds received net of direct issue costs
derivative financial instruments
the group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its 
exposure to foreign exchange rate risk including foreign exchange 
forward contracts further details of these contracts are disclosed 
in note 27
derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a 
derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured 
to their fair value at each balance sheet date the resulting gain 
or loss is recognised in profit and loss immediately unless the 
derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument in 
which event the timing of the recognition in comprehensive income 
depends on the nature of the hedge relationship the group does 
not currently designate any derivatives as hedges
a derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial 
asset whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised 
as a financial liability a derivative is presented as a noncurrent 
asset or a noncurrent liability if the remaining maturity of the 
instrument is more than 12 months and it is not expected to be 
realised or settled within 12 months other derivatives are presented 
as current assets or current liabilities
classification of founder securities
the founder securities are classified as liabilities and measured 
at fair value at each balance sheet date further details about the 
valuation of the founder securities are disclosed in note 25
costs of equity transactions
incremental costs that are attributable directly to issuing equity 
instruments of the company are recognised in equity net of any tax 
effects other costs not directly attributable to the issuing of equity 
instruments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive 
income
provisions
provisions are recognised when the group has a present obligation 
legal or constructive as a result of a past event it is probable that 
the group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable 
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation
the amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the 
consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of 
the reporting period taking into account the risks and uncertainties 
surrounding the obligation when a provision is measured using the 
cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation its carrying 
amount is the present value of those cash flows where the effect of 
the time value of money is material
decommissioning costs
the group records a decommissioning provision when there is a 
legal or constructive obligation whereby as a result of a past event 
it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required 
to settle the obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible 
longlived asset and the liability can be reasonably estimated the 
amount recorded represents the present value of the expected 
costs an amount equivalent to the discounted provision is 
capitalised within tangible fixed assets and is depreciated over the 
life of the contract the unwinding of the discount is included in 
finance costs 104  apr energy  annual report 2013
inventories 
inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value 
cost comprises direct materials and where applicable direct 
labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in 
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition 
pensions
payments to a defined contribution pension scheme are charged as 
an expense as they fall due
sharebased payments
in accordance with ifrs2 sharebased payment arrangements in 
which the group receives goods or services as consideration for 
apr energy plc equity instruments are accounted for as equity
settled sharebased payment transactions regardless of how the 
equity instruments are obtained by the group
equitysettled sharebased payments to employees are measured 
at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date the fair 
value excludes the effect of nonmarket based vesting conditions 
details regarding the determination of the fair value of equitysettled 
sharebased transactions are set out in note 28
the fair value determined at the grant date of the equitysettled 
sharebased payments to employees is expensed on a straight
line basis over the vesting period based on the group’s estimate 
of equity instruments that will eventually vest at each balance 
sheet date the group revises its estimate of the number of equity 
instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of non 
marketbased conditions the impact of the revision of the original 
estimates if any is recognised in total comprehensive income such 
that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate with a 
corresponding adjustment to equity reserves
4 critical accounting estimates and judgements
in the application of the significant accounting policies which are 
described in note 3 management is required to make judgements 
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources the 
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical 
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant 
actual results may differ from these estimates
the estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on
going basis revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in 
the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only 
that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the 
revision affects both current and future periods
critical accounting estimates and assumptions
the following are the key assumptions concerning the future 
and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the 
reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within 
the next financial year
useful lives of property plant and equipment and intangible     
assets
management estimates the useful lives of its property plant and 
equipment and intangible assets considering the following factors
l expected usage
l expected wear and tear through normal usage
l technological or commercial obsolescence
depending on facts and circumstances management may weight 
one of the factors more than another or may consider additional 
factors not listed above changes in estimated useful lives could 
have a material impact on future depreciation expense
fair values of acquired assets and liabilities of the ge power 
rental business
during 2013 the group acquired the ge power rental business 
under ifrs 3 business combinations all acquired assets and 
liabilities must be fair valued at acquisition date in particular the fair 
values of acquired intangible and tangible assets require judgement 
and use of models with a number of forecasts and inputs these 
fair values are considered provisional at 31 december 2013    
critical judgements in applying the group’s accounting poli
cies
the following are the critical judgements apart from those involving 
estimations discussed above that management made in the 
process of applying the group’s accounting policies and that 
have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
consolidated financial statements
impairment of goodwill
determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of 
the value in use of the cashgenerating units to which goodwill has 
been allocated the value in use calculation requires the entity to 
estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash
generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate 
present value no impairments were recorded in the periods 
presented
recoverability of trade and other receivables
management review the trade and other receivables balance on 
a regular basis and assesses its ability to collect receivables that 
are past due and provides for an adequate allowance for doubtful 
accounts based on the financial stability recent payment history of 
the customer letters of credit in place and other pertinent factors 
related to the creditworthiness of the customer specifically for 
the 2013 year end management focused on the libya receivables 
balance and were satisfied that these were recoverable as all 
invoiced amounts had been received as at the date of this report
fair valuation of founder securities
the fair value of the founder securities is based on a bespoke 
monte carlo simulation model which incorporates a binomial tree 
to value the founder securities as of the date of the performance 
condition being achieved within the monte carlo simulation this 
model simulates the future company ordinary share price on a 
daily basis using a geometric brownian motion in a riskneutral 
framework
the valuation output of the model described above is then 
discounted to reflect the lack of marketability of the founder 
securities using a protective put option method this discounted 
figure is the number which is subsequently booked as the founder 
securities liability in the financial statements
accounting for taxation
the group has operations in various global jurisdictions and as 
such is subject to an inherent risk arising from the geographical 
mix of revenues and profits and the complex nature of these 
notes to the consolidated financial statements annual report 2013   apr energy  105 
overview strategy performance directors’ report financial statements other information
tax arrangements management reviews the group’s overall tax 
position and ensures that any potential exposures are identified and 
mitigated as necessary
5  risk management policies
the group’s activities give rise to a number of financial risks 
particularly market risk comprised of foreign exchange and interest 
rate risk credit risk liquidity risk and capital risk management
market risk
market risk includes foreign exchange risk and interest rate 
risk the group seeks to manage these risks to acceptable 
levels by maintaining appropriate policies and procedures in its 
determination to enter into a contract the group will carry out a 
risk assessment and determine the appropriate risk mitigations 
strategies market risk also includes the risk that cash derived 
from income for services fulfilled under contract terms will become 
restricted and not available for use in the ongoing activities of the 
business 
foreign exchange risk
the group has an exposure to transactional foreign exchange from 
purchases or sales in currencies other than us dollars in order to 
minimise exposure to foreign exchange risk the group primarily 
contracts in us dollars or in contracts with a price based on us 
dollars at the date of transaction or payment if possible in some 
cases the group transacts in local currencies when purchasing 
materials and supplies for project operations 
in limited circumstances the group may use derivative instruments 
to economically hedge against foreign exchange risk any hedges 
are limited in duration and correspond to the applicable contract 
payments or receipts to which the derivatives are associated 
details of the contracts in place at the balance sheet dates are 
disclosed in note 27 to these financial statements
interest rate risk
the group is primarily exposed to interest rate risk on its 
borrowings borrowings issued at variable rates expose the group 
to cash flow interest rate risk borrowings issued at fixed rates 
expose the group to fair value interest rate risk when applicable 
the group may elect to hedge interest rate risk associated with 
debt or borrowings under the credit facility by purchasing derivative 
instruments as at the 31 december 2013 and 2012 there were no 
interest rate hedges in place
credit risk
credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents deposits with 
banks and financial institutions as well as exposures to outstanding 
receivables from customers due to the nature of the group’s 
business in emerging markets management believes the most 
significant of these to be exposures to outstanding receivables from 
customers
t o minimise the risk of a significant impact on the business due to a 
customer defaulting on its commitments the group closely monitors 
trade receivables in addition the group utilises letters of credit 
contract insurance policies and up front deposits to mitigate this risk
liquidity risk
liquidity risk results from insufficient funding being available to 
meet the group’s funding requirements as they arise the group 
manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves of cash 
and available committed facilities to meet the group’s short and 
longterm funding requirements the group monitors the shortterm 
forecast and actual cash flows on a daily basis and medium and 
longterm requirements in line with the group’s longterm planning 
processes
the group’s principal debt facilities totalling 6500 million are 
provided by a syndicate of banks under a revolving credit facility 
and a term loan further details are disclosed in note 26 to these 
financial statements 
trade and other payables are disclosed in note 20 to these financial

and the instruments are not currently exercisable
capital risk management
the group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for its equity 
holders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital 
the group manages its capital to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity while maximising the return to stakeholders the group is funded through 
a mixture of equity and debt financing as at 31 december 2013 the group’s gearing ratio was 41 2012 18 the longterm expectation of 
management would be a gearing ratio of 30
the group reviews the capital structure on a semiannual basis as part of this review the group considers the cost of capital and the risk 
associated with each class of capital the group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements

goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated at acquisition to the cash generating units cgu’s that are expected to benefit from 
that business combination the directors have determined the business to have one cgu and the goodwill is allocated to this unit
the group tests goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired
the recoverable amount of the cgu is determined from a value in use calculation the key assumptions for the value in use calculation are
l revenue – management uses current contract portfolio pricing for the relevant portion of the forecast period and pricing guidelines for 
expected future contract wins the timing and size of new contracts is based on historic data and also the sales and opportunities pipeline 
the downtime between contracts and contract duration are based on management’s best expectations using historical data whilst factoring 
in recent developments in creating our proprietary modular building system
l costs – management has a good understanding of historic realised margins and use this to estimate expected future margins achievable 
which are used to drive direct costs in the model corporate and administrative overheads are then factored in and adjusted for expected 
future growth also included in the model is the forecasted capital expenditure which is based off supplier schedules from contractual 
arrangements and the growth profile
l growth rate – shortterm growth rates are based on management’s internal forecasts a terminal cash flow was calculated using a longterm 
growth rate of 30 2012 30 which is based on longterm economic growth and industry forecasts 
l discount rate – management estimates discount rates using pretax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money 
and the risks specific to the cgu the assumed discount rate used was 143 2012 146 before tax which in the view of management 
best reflects the premium the market would require for such cash flows
the group has conducted a sensitivity analysis on the impairment test of the cgu carrying value and have determined that there is no 
reasonably possible change in the key assumptions utilised in the impairment calculations that would give rise to an impairment

the average credit period on the sales of goods in 2013 was 173 days 2012 69 days the average credit period for 2013 is somewhat 
skewed however due to the increased levels of activity at the year end and the resulting high year end trade receivables balance no interest is 
charged on trade receivables the group assesses its ability to collect receivables that are past due and provides for an adequate allowance 
for doubtful accounts based on the financial stability recent payment history of the customer letters of credit in place and other pertinent 
factors related to the creditworthiness of the customer the allowance for doubtful accounts includes specific amounts for those accounts that 
are deemed likely to be uncollectible

in determining the recoverability of a trade receivable the group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from 
the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period there is a concentration of credit risk because there are a limited 
number of customers and as at 31 december 2013 the two individually significant aggregate amounts owed by individual customers were 
653 million and 154 million 2012 158 million and 96 million the risk associated with individual customers is mitigated by the letters 
of credit we obtain from customers on commencement of a contract management reviews concentration credit risk on a regular basis and 
ensures that where the net exposure exceeds certain thresholds appropriate actions are taken this is done on a customer by customer 
basis and takes account of the billing terms letters of credit and local customs and practices

the group records a decommissioning provision when there is a legal or constructive obligation whereby as a result of a past event it is probable 
that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible longlived asset and the 
liability can be reasonably estimated   if the effect is material provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pretax 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and where appropriate the risks specific to the liability 
the decommissioning provision has been calculated using a discount rate of 33 2012 33 the costs are generally expected to be 
incurred approximately 15 years in the future

the founder securities are not exchangeable for a fixed number of ordinary equity shares the number of ordinary shares issued in respect of 
these instruments is governed by various factors including the share price at the date of conversion 
the group continues to value the founder securities using a bespoke monte carlo simulation model which incorporates a binomial tree to val
ue the instruments as of the date of the performance condition being achieved within the monte carlo simulation this model simulates the future 
company share price on a daily basis using a geometric brownian motion in a riskneutral framework
the valuation output of the model described above is then discounted to reflect the lack of marketability of the founder securities using a protec
tive put option method

financial risk management objectives
the group’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business coordinates access to domestic and international financial 
markets monitors and manages the financial risk relating to the operations of the group through internal risk reports which analyse exposures
by degree and magnitude of these risks 
as disclosed in note 5 during operations the group can be exposed to market risk including currency risk and interest rate risk credit risk 
and liquidity risk
from time to time the group may seek to manage foreign exchange risk by using derivative instruments to limit these risk exposures the use 
of financial derivatives is governed by the group’s policies approved by the board of directors which provide written principles on foreign
exchange risk and the use of derivative and nonderivative financial instruments compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by 
the risk committee on an ongoing basis the group does not enter into or trade financial instruments including derivative financial
instruments for speculative purposes
the group has no externally imposed capital requirements
capital risk management 
the group manages its capital to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity while maximising the return to stakeholders the group is funded through 
a mixture of equity and debt financing the capital structure of the group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity comprising issued 
capital access to committed 650 million credit facilities and retained profits the longterm expectation of management would be a gearing

credit risk management
credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the group credit risk arises 
from cash and cash equivalents deposits with banks and financial institutions as well as exposures to outstanding receivables from customers
due to the nature of the group’s business in emerging markets management believes the most significant of these to be exposures to 
outstanding receivables from customers t o minimise the risk of a significant impact on the business due to a customer defaulting on its 
commitments the group closely monitors trade receivables in addition the group utilises letters of credit contract insurance policies and up 
front deposits to mitigate this risk
the carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements which is net of impairment losses represents the group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk
the credit risk on liquid funds and derivate financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with creditratings assigned 
by international creditrating agencies 118  apr energy  annual report 2013
the peak concentration of the group’s credit risk is considered by counterparty geography and currency the group holds its cash on deposit 
with a number of financial institutions at 31 december 2013 the concentration of credit risk held with one bank totalled 106 million 2012 two 
banks totalling 68 million and 61 million respectively  which is primarily denominated in argentinian pesos and usd 2012 usd and gbp

obtained by the group 
in june 2012 the company adopted the apr energy share award plan 2012 the “2012 plan” the 2012 plan allows for the grant of share 
options and contingent share awards this provides a more effective retention tool with the flexibility to reflect common us practice on equity 
incentives it is a longterm incentive plan enabling selected employees to be granted a right to acquire ordinary shares in the company at a 
specified price subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions the number of ordinary shares issued or issuable pursuant to awards granted 
in any 10year period is limited to 10 per cent of the issued ordinary shares from time to time
in october and november 2013 contingent share awards were granted to all employees over an aggregate of 425858 ordinary shares under 
the 2012 plan these awards provide for ordinary shares to be delivered subject to payment of the nominal value of the award shares if so 
required on or after the third anniversary dependent on the achievement of performance conditions determined by reference to the growth of 
the group’s adjusted earnings per share over the period of three years ending on 31 december 2015 with 30 vesting at a threshold of 4 
growth rising to 100 vesting for growth of 11 or more
in november 2012 following a review by the remuneration committee and ratification by the board contingent share awards were granted 
to three senior employees over an aggregate of 315000 ordinary shares under the 2012 plan these awards provide for ordinary shares to 
be delivered subject to payment of the nominal value of the award shares if so required on or after the third anniversary dependent on the 
achievement of performance conditions determined by reference to the growth of the group’s adjusted earnings per share over the period of 
three years ending on 30 june 2015 with 30 vesting at a threshold of 4 growth rising to 100 vesting for growth of 11 or more
in june 2012 share options were granted to selected employees to subscribe for up to a total of 1770000 ordinary shares at an exercise price 
of £683 per share under the 2012 plan  in october 2012 share options were granted to additional employees to subscribe for up to a total of 
360000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of £763 per share also under the 2012 plan these share options normally vest as to one third on 
each of the first second and third anniversaries of the grant and once vested remain exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the grant
in 2012 the original apr energy performance share plan was renamed the apr energy share option plan 2011 the “2011 plan” there is a 
corresponding 2011 plan under which there were grants made to contractors originally share options were granted under the 2011 plans to 
employees and contractors employed by or providing services to the group and vested in tranches according to adjusted ebitda 50 and 
adjusted net income 50 as derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the calendar years ending 31 december 2011 
2012 and 2013 and to be delivered on or after the third anniversary however the directors were concerned that the 2011 share options were 
not acting as an effective tool for motivating and retaining key staff in the way originally intended the share options held by certain continuing 
option holders over an aggregate of 749500 ordinary shares were amended and restated in june 2012 by the remuneration committee 
by replacing the original performance conditions with a vesting schedule more in line with a us workforce with a third vesting by reference to 
continued employment or service provisions on each of the first second and third anniversaries of the original grant on 13 june 2011 at the 
same time the exercise period was extended from the three months originally provided until the tenth anniversary of the grant  in each case 
the exercise price remains unchanged at £1000 per ordinary share  no amendments were made to the share options granted under the 2011 
plan to the three most senior employees which for the two who remain employed are exercisable subject to the original terms

the total consideration for the acquisition was 3615 million payable in cash 731 million on completion and 15453129 ordinary shares 
allotted and issued credited as fully paid up to the sellers 
the fair value of this share issue was 2884 million which was equal to the share price on the closing date of the transaction multiplied by the 
number of shares issued acquisition related costs amounted to 144 million 2012 nil and were primarily related to legal and professional 
fees and early termination fees and were charged to the statement of comprehensive income

business none of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes
the ge power rental business contributed 92 million revenue and 24 million to the group’s profit for the period between the date of 
acquisition and the 31 december 2013 if the acquisition of the ge power rental business had been completed on the first day of the

impact of operating in first second and thirdtier countries
at 31 december 2013 the group had operations in various countries across several continents operating in these countries subjects the 
group to the inherent risk of changes in law regulations and governmental policy and stability the group has utilised insurance and letters of 
credit to help mitigate these risks and no provision has been recorded
legal and environmental
from time to time the group is subject to litigation or environmental claims the group uses various means to limit its exposure to such 
contingencies including risk management strategies and insurance coverage these claims can involve highly complex issues actual 
damages and other matters these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and therefore the probability of loss and an estimation 
of damages are difficult to ascertain management’s assessments can involve complex judgements about future events and can rely heavily 
on estimates and assumptions the group’s assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable 
by management the group recognises a liability for contingencies when it is more likely than not that the group will sustain a loss and the 
amount can be estimated
as of 31 december 2013 the group was not subject to any substantive legal or environmental claims and it has not recorded any contingent 
obligations in the consolidated financial statements

3  significant accounting policies
basis of preparation
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 
international financial reporting standards ifrss the financial 
statements have also been prepared in accordance with ifrss 
adopted by the european union and therefore the financial statements 
comply with article 4 of the eu ias regulation 
the financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost 
basis historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the 
consideration given in exchange for the assets 
under section 408 of the companies act 2006 the company is 
exempt from the requirement to present its own profit and loss 
account the profit for the year ended 31 december 2013 of the 
company was 159 million 2012 130 million these financial 
statements are presented in us dollars because that is the currency 
of the primary economic environment in which the company 
operates 
use of estimates
the preparation of financial statements is in conformity with ifrs  
ifrs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates it also 
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of 
applying the company’s accounting policies the areas involving 
a higher degree of judgement or complexity or areas where 
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements 
are disclosed in note 4
going concern
the directors have at the time of approving the financial statements 
a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources 
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future thus 
they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in 
preparing the financial statements further detail is contained in the 
financial review on page 39
provision for income taxes
current tax
the current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax 
laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial 
position date in the uk where the company operates generates 
taxable income and is subject to tax under local country tax law
management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with 
respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to 
interpretation it establishes provisions where appropriate based on 
amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities 
t axable profit differs from net profits as reported in the statement 
of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or 
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further 
excludes items that are never taxable or deductible the company’s 
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date
deferred tax
deferred income tax is recognised using the liability method on 
temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements 
deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been 
enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial 
position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred 
notes 
to the company financial statements 
for the year ended 31 december 2013 128  apr energy  annual report 2013
income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is 
settled deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable 
temporary differences deferred income tax assets are recognised 
only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be 
available against which the temporary differences can be utilised 
the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each 
balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or 
part of the asset to be recovered
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there 
is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets 
and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable 
entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net 
basis deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected 
to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is 
realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted at 
the balance sheet date deferred tax is charged or credited in the 
statement of comprehensive income except when it relates to items 
charged or credited in other comprehensive income in which case 
the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income
foreign currencies
the financial statements are presented in the currency of the 
primary economic environment in which it operates its functional 
currency 
transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency 
foreign currencies are recognised at the rates of exchange 
prevailing on the dates of the transactions at each balance sheet 
date monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign 
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date non
monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign 
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the 
fair value was determined nonmonetary items that are measured 
in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated
impairment
financial assets
the company assesses at the end of each reporting period 
whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group 
of financial assets is impaired a financial asset or a group of 
financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred 
only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one 
or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset 
“loss event” and that loss event or events has an impact on 
the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of 
financial assets that can be reliably estimated
trade and other receivables are considered past due if any portion 
of an account has not been paid in full within the contractual 
terms of the account the company assesses its ability to collect 
receivables that are past due and provides for an adequate 
allowance for doubtful accounts based on the financial stability 
recent payment history of the customer letters of credit in place 
and other pertinent factors related to the creditworthiness of 
the customer the allowance for doubtful accounts includes 
specific amounts for those accounts that are deemed likely to be 
uncollectible upon permanent impairment the trade receivable is 
written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts 
financial instruments
the company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities 
into the following categories fair value through profit or loss 
and loans and receivables for financial assets and fair value 
through profit and loss and other financial liabilities for financial 
liabilities the classification depends on the purpose for which the 
financial instruments were acquired management determines the 
classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition
effective interest method
the effective interest method is a method of calculating the finance 
income generated by a financial asset and the amortised cost of 
a financial liability including allocating interest expense over the 
relevant period the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly 
discounts estimated future cash payments including all fees paid 
or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate 
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts through the 
expected life of the financial liability to the net carrying amount on 
initial recognition
loans and receivables
trade and other receivables are nonderivative financial assets with 
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market they are included in current assets except for maturities 
greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period 
these are classified as noncurrent assets the company’s loans 
and receivables are recorded as deposits and trade and other 
receivables in the statement of financial position
trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest rate method less any impairment interest 
income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate except 
for shortterm receivables when the recognition of interest would be 
immaterial
cash and cash equivalents
cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid 
investments that can be readily converted into cash or that have an 
original maturity of three months or less
trade and other payables
trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that 
have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from 
suppliers accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if 
payment is due within one year or less 
trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and

apr energy plc equity instruments are accounted for as equity
settled sharebased payment transactions regardless of how the 
equity instruments are obtained by the company
equitysettled sharebased payments to employees are measured 
at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date the fair 
value excludes the effect of nonmarket based vesting conditions 
details regarding the determination of the fair value of equitysettled 
sharebased transactions are set out in note 11
the fair value determined at the grant date of the equitysettled 
sharebased payments to employees is expensed on a straightline 
basis over the vesting period based on the company’s estimate 
of equity instruments that will eventually vest at each balance 
sheet date the company revises its estimate of the number of 
equity instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of non 
marketbased conditions the impact of the revision of the original 
estimates if any is recognised in total comprehensive income such

dividends are approved by the company’s shareholders
4   critical accounting estimates and judgements
in the application of the significant accounting policies which are 
described in note 3 management is required to make judgements 
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources the 
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical 
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant 
actual results may differ from these estimates
the estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an 
ongoing basis revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in 
the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only 
that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the 
revision affects both current and future periods
critical accounting estimates and assumptions
there are no key assumptions concerning the future or other key 
sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period 
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial 
year
critical judgements in applying the company’s 
accounting policies
the following are the critical judgements apart from those involving 
estimations discussed above that management made in the 
process of applying the company’s accounting policies and that 
have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial statements
impairment of investment asset
determining whether the investment asset is impaired requires an 
estimation of the value in use of the underlying investments the 
value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future 
cash flows expected to arise from the investments and a suitable 
discount rate in order to calculate present value no impairments 
were recorded in the periods presented
5   risk management policies
the company’s activities give rise to a number of financial risks 
particularly market risk comprised of foreign exchange credit risk 
liquidity risk and capital risk management
market risk
market risk includes foreign exchange risk the company seeks to 
manage these risks to acceptable levels by maintaining appropriate 
policies and procedures 
foreign exchange risk
the company has an exposure to transactional foreign exchange 
from purchases or sales in currencies other than us dollars in 
order to minimise exposure to foreign exchange risk the company 
primarily contracts in us dollars or in contracts with a price based 
on us dollars at the date of transaction or payment if possible 
credit risk
credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents deposits 
with banks and financial institutions as well as exposures to 
outstanding receivables from external parties due to the nature 
of the company’s business management do not believe there is a 
significant credit risk to the company
liquidity risk
liquidity risk results from insufficient funding being available to 
meet the company’s funding requirements as they arise the 
company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves 
of cash and available committed facilities in subsidiaries for short 
and longterm funding requirements the company monitors the 
shortterm forecast and actual cash flows on a daily basis and 
medium and longterm requirements in line with the company’s 
longterm planning processes
capital risk management
the company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard 
its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns 
for its equity holders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to 
reduce the cost of capital 
the company is funded through a mixture of equity and debt 
financing through subsidiaries 
the company reviews the capital structure on a semiannual basis 
as part of this review the company considers the cost of capital 
and the risk associated with each class of capital  130  apr energy  annual report 2013

in determining the recoverability of trade and other receivables the company considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable 
from the date credit was granted up to the reporting date credit risk is limited due to substantially all the balance being amounts due from 
subsidiaries accordingly the directors believe there is no credit provision required and no classes of receivable contain impaired assets 
amounts due from subsidiaries are repayable on demand and are interest free these amounts are shown as noncurrent as these balances 
are not expected to be repaid within twelve months of the balance sheet date the carrying value of receivables is considered to represent their 
fair value

Summary:
 overview strategy performance directors’ report financial statements other information
annual report 2013   apr energy  7 
2013 was a year of significant change for 
apr energy and i am pleased to report the 
progress we have achieved
our ability to deploy largescale power 
rapidly combined with our turnkey approach 
and advanced technology provides 
customers with the confidence of having 
reliable power when they need it our ability 
to do this consistently has led to great client 
‘stickiness’ – and our contract renewal rate 
of over 90 in 2013 is testament to that
order intake was strong driven by record 
new contract wins of 740mw 2012 569mw 
and contract extensions of 298mw 2012 
724mw including in uruguay indonesia 
angola and post yearend libya where 
clients not only renewed contracts but 
expanded them at similar pricing
we have focused on delivering a strong 
operational performance with utilisation a 
key target for management across the year 
the group achieved a utilisation rate of 74 
with the commissioning of a number of 
significant contracts during the second half 
and ongoing renewals total fleet utilisation 
increased to 81 at year end this reflects 
a significant improvement in diesel power 
module utilisation and almost full utilisation 
across our turbine fleet demonstrating our 
customers’ desire for this technology
our acquisition of the ge power rental 
business in october 2013 together with our 
new partnership and supply agreement has 
accelerated the pace at which the group 
can address the growing market opportunity 
during the year we continued to invest in 
our power generation capacity increasing it 
by nearly 60 to 2074 mw 31 december 
2012 1311mw through a combination of 
acquisitive and organic capacity expansion 
this investment focused primarily on our 
mobile gas turbines the key technology 
underpinning our strategy as a result of 
this investment our fleet at the year end 
comprised 56 mobile gas turbines 39 
diesel power modules and 5 gas power 
modules 
2013 financial performance 
through a combination of strong order 
book growth and successful project 
execution we delivered a strong operating 
and financial performance our financial 
results for 2013 reflect the inclusion of the 
ge power rental business from the end of 
october
revenue increased 16 to 308 million 
2012 266 million driven primarily by 
new contract wins contract extensions and 
high utilisation levels on an enlarged fleet 
following the commissioning of a number 
of significant contracts during the year 
the timing of these projects becoming 
operational resulted in revenue being 
heavily biased to the second half of the 
year as expected
adjusted ebitda increased 15 to 181 
million 2012 157 million resulting in an 
adjusted ebitda margin of 59 2012 
59 over the mediumterm largerscale 
repeatable projects should benefit from 
operating efficiencies which together with 
the growth of our turbine fleet is expected 
to enhance margins
adjusted basic earnings per share was 
60 cents 2012 68 cents based on a 
weighted average number of shares of 
810 million 2012 782 million shares the 
increase in shares reflecting the 155 million 
shares issued to ge at the end of october 
2013 
during the year the group increased 
its credit facilities to 650 million 31 
december 2012 400 million to provide 
significant liquidity to continue to grow 
our fleet expand our global network 
and quickly respond to the growing 
opportunities in our market including the 
ge acquisition at the year end we had 
grown our total fleet capacity by 58 to 
2074mw 31 december 2012 1311mw 
reflecting the 520mw of additional capacity 
acquired through the ge acquisition and 
313mw of organic capacity expansion 
funded by fleet capital expenditure of 
approximately 290 million
the group’s cash flow reflected these 
high levels of fleet investment and 
increased mobilisation costs together with 
investments in working capital arising from 
the significantly higher activity in the second 
half the timing of receivables and the 
acquisition of the ge business in october 
as a result the group maintained a good 
financial position with yearend net debt 
as announced in the january 2014 trading 
update of 556 million 31 december 
2012 184 million excluding capitalised 
financing fees 
our year end net debt position reflected 
the timing of the receipt of receivables 
including those in respect of libya in the 
case of our libyan project we established 
upon contract signing an enhanced 
credit structure backed by a leading uk 
financial institution through which the 
group receives payment i am pleased 
to report that in recent weeks we have 
seen significant progress  and have 
received 100 million to date from our 
customer in libya reflecting the receipt 
of all outstanding and due payments and 
significantly reducing our current net debt 
position
our provision for bad debts remains at 
a historic low level reflecting a strong 
customer payment record the group’s 
use of letters of credit contract insurance 
policies and up front deposits support 
the receipt of contract revenues 
notwithstanding occasional timing issues 
given the jurisdictions in which we operate
acquisition of ge’s power rental 
business
a key development during the year was our 
acquisition of ge’s power rental business 
and ge’s investment in our company 
through the transaction we acquired 520mw 
of power generation capacity comprising 
five equipmentonly rental contracts in 
australia bangladesh canada iraq and the 
us virgin islands and four noncontracted 
mobile turbines
chief executive officer’s statement
we are pleased with the results achieved in 2013 and believe 
our progress during the year has positioned us well to deliver 
sustainable growth into 2014 and beyond
john campion chief executive officer 8  apr energy  annual report 2013
in creating the world’s leading fasttrack 
mobile turbine business the acquisition 
advances us towards our strategic 
goals strengthening and diversifying our 
business while creating a valuable long
term strategic partnership with ge the 
transaction broadens our revenue base 
and reduces our concentration risk through 
exposure to new geographies and an 
established natural gas footprint
while still early days integration is 
progressing well we have realised our first 
renewal with a twelvemonth extension 
on improved pricing of the 25mw mobile 
turbine contract in the us virgin islands 
we are in discussions with customers in 
bangladesh and iraq whose contracts are 
due for renewal in 2014 we intend to apply 
our standard approach and pricing to these 
contracts transferring customers across to 
our full turnkey offering which we believe 
provides an attractive power solution in 
the event customers do not require this 
full offering or we are unable to reach 
agreement we will seek to redeploy these 
assets onto more favourable terms in line 
with our historic turbine pricing
the strategic partnership with ge gives 
us the ability to collaborate on business 
development opportunities where apr 
energy can offer complementary power 
solutions while permanent ge plants are 
built we have been pleased with the level 
of inbound requests and expect these 
opportunities to develop over the short to 
mediumterm our partnership provides 
access to ge’s manufacturing capacity 
through which we expect to be able to 
support our future growth opportunities 
more efficiently reducing the time between 
order and delivery as well as reducing the 
time between purchasing new turbines and 
their commissioning and hence revenue 
generation 
using our technological  
advantage to deliver sustainable 
growth
we continue to differentiate ourselves by 
offering a broad choice of technologies 
in our fleet with a particular strategic 
focus on dualfuel mobile turbines the 
technology best suited for the rapid 
deployment of large blocks of power 
turbines are an integral part of our growth 
strategy providing a stronger offering 
into more attractive largerscale longer
term projects this technology presents a 
number of advantages to our customers 
its power density ie small footprint
tomegawatt ratio improves speed and 
logistics while providing greater reliability 
requiring less maintenance and producing 
significantly less emissions than its 
reciprocating engine counterparts the 
fuel flexibility of our mobile gas turbines 
provides an additional advantage for the 
customer with the ability to switch quickly 
between diesel and natural gas depending 
on customer needs or preference 
furthermore where gas is available to a 
customer it can significantly reduce the 
generating costs of electricity as well as 
reduce emissions 
our global strategic partnerships with ge 
and caterpillar provide us with reliable 
stateoftheart technology around the 
clock support across the globe and 
beneficial pricing our partnership with ge 
provides the group exclusive worldwide 
rights to offer its mobile turbines within our 
market while deploying capital in a more 
timely manner
risk management
apr energy operates in a market with 
strong structural growth opportunities 
these opportunities often take us to 
challenging parts of the world including 
countries that experience political social 
economic and security instability and 
as contracts become larger longer and 
more complex we recognise the need for 
ever more rigorous risk assessment and 
mitigation
we are committed to creating a secure 
working environment for our people 
while ensuring the security of our physical 
assets and surety of payment we are 
proactive through our contract due 
diligence to address these issues through 
a variety of mitigating actions including 
the purchasing of insurance bonds 
guarantees and cash advances to protect 
both our financial and operational assets 
to mitigate significant receivable risks we 
also enter into enhanced credit structures 
which through the use of letters of credit 
guarantee customer payment 
at times we operate in countries that have 
recently emerged from significant political 
and social upheavals the emerging 
governments often require a period in 
which they establish the administrative 
processes often via committee through 
which they can effectively operate – this 
has been the case in libya our customer 
the state owned utility has been through 
a period of tremendous change and it 
has taken time to establish the requisite 
committees and processes to mitigate

europe middle east and africa
during the year our footprint across africa 
more than doubled with many notable 
successes in march we announced the 
signing of a new 250mw mobile turbine 
contract in libya to provide a turnkey 
power solution followed by the expansion 
of our 200mw diesel project announced 
in june making this the largest single 
contract in the history of the fasttrack 
power industry 
this 450mw solution provides power 
to more than one million homes and 
helps meet demand during the critical 
summer high heat season as well as 
provide interim power while the country 
continues to rebuild and improve its 
ageing infrastructure the timescale was 
tight – and not without its challenges – with 
commissioning occurring across six sites 
in the peak heat of the summer and during 
ramadan nonetheless we were pleased 
to report that our plants were fully installed 
and commercially operational during the 
third quarter notwithstanding our sizeable 
power contribution libya continues to 
face a chronic and growing structural 
power deficit requiring significant long
term investment to address
we delivered our first crossborder 
agreement a 40mw diesel power module 
solution with the government of mali 
the solution was installed in senegal and 
feeds into the interconnected grid that 
connects mali senegal and mauritania 
we also extended our 70mw diesel 
power module contract in botswana for a 
further twelve months in late december 
our facility in francistown has been a 
key component of the country’s power 
generation infrastructure since 2009 
filling a critical gap in its drive toward 
permanent energy sufficiency as part 
of this renewal we anticipate to sell 
our installed fleet to the client with the 
expected transfer of assets to occur post 
the end of the existing contract in q4 2014 
the sale represents a mutually attractive 
opportunity for the client to supplement 
its owned diesel power modules while 
enabling the group to dispose of older 
technology and legacy equipment going 
forward we will consider the sale of other 
installed assets as opportunities arise
our continued presence in angola 
exemplifies our market approach in 
2012 we established our first project 
in the country a 40mw plant located in 
luanda using diesel power modules 
after building a positive relationship with 
the customer and delivering a strong 
trackrecord of reliability we successfully 
extended the contract for another term 
and expanded our capacity by a further 
40mw doubling our footprint in country 
rather than expanding with more diesel 
power modules the customer specifically 
requested to upgrade to mobile gas 
turbines resulting in one of the firstever 
semipermanent mobile turbine projects 
in subsaharan africa and apr energy’s 
first turbine deal following the ge strategic 
alliance through this relationship we 
have established a strong platform from 
which we hope to expand our market for 
mobile turbine generation solutions across 
the region
oman’s hot summer season puts heavy 
demand on the country’s power grid from 
may to august causing intermittent power 
outages for the second consecutive 
summer we provided power to meet 
this seasonal demand facilitated by our 
modular system and supported by our 
regional hub in dubai the group’s 32mw 
plant in oman was operational in under two 
weeks
asia pacific
indonesia represents one of the largest 
fasttrack power markets in the world 
during the year we built on our existing 
contract delivering an additional 40mw 
and 75mw to bring our total power 
capacity in the country to 130mw our 
plants provide much needed reliable 
power to the islands of nias and sumatra 
and by using the newest generation diesel 
power modules we have been able to 
provide fuelefficiencies to our customer
following the year end we were pleased 
to announce two new significant contracts 
in asia firstly a landmark contract in 
myanmar for 82mw with plant capacity to 
deliver up to 100mw the plant featuring 
our gas power modules is expected to 
be operational in the second quarter of 
2014 and will be one of the largest thermal 
plants in the country providing power to 
more than six million people this bridging 
power capacity is required whilst the utility 
builds a new combined cycle power plant 
to fulfil the country’s needs
today we have announced our largest 
industrial contract producing a 
guaranteed 60mw the mobile gas turbine 
plant will power the customer’s critical 
mining operations in the south pacific 
this technology was the customer’s 
preferred solution meeting strict eu 
emissions requirements and able to fit 
within the challenging space constraints at 
the mine site the plant will run on diesel 
while offering our customer the flexibility 
to seamlessly switch to natural gas if 
needed
the project adds to apr energy’s track 
record in the extractive industry sector 
that includes successful power projects in 
mozambique guatemala and botswana 
it is also represents the group’s second 
largescale turbine project following 
its acquisition of the ge power rental 
business the plant is expected to begin 
operations in late q2 2014 and run through 
to late 2015 this contract reflects the 
versatility that mobile gas turbines provide 
and the attractiveness of this technology 
not just to utilities but to industrial 
customers as well
recently we have been informed that 
our customer in australia has filed for 
protection from its creditors as such 
the assets allocated to that project are 
tied up in the receivership process 
although it is still in the early stages the 
group is working with the administrators 
and receivers of forge group limited 
regarding possession of those assets
these contracts together with our 
recent installation of 130mw of new 
power generation in indonesia reflect 
the success of our rapidly growing asia 
pacific business following the opening 
our malaysian hub in 2012 and singapore 
commercial office in 2013  10  apr energy  annual report 2013
the americas
in uruguay we were pleased to announce in 
late 2012 the extension of our existing 100mw 
plant and expansion of an additional 
200mw of mobile gas turbine capacity 
the 100mw la tablada site commissioning 
and 100mw punta del tigre site expansion 
went operational in the second quarter 
bringing our total power generation 
capacity in the country to 300mw
in december we announced the first 
extension of a contract acquired as part 
of the ge transaction – a twelvemonth 
extension of the 25mw mobile gas turbine 
contract in the us virgin islands on 
improved pricing in line with apr energy’s 
historic turbine pricing
these contracts reinforce our success in 
and commitment to the provision of power 
across our global portfolio we continue 
to see customers including those in 
emerging markets come back to apr 
energy time and again to take repeatable 
and often enlarged blocks of power to 
meet their ongoing needs

we have a reputation for integrity and 
honesty in all our business dealings a 
factor that contributes positively to our 
longterm relationships with customers 
and suppliers maintaining our good 
reputation is therefore essential for our 
continued success
with the prospect of significant growth 
ahead we need to ensure the organisation 
is positioned to achieve this in a 
disciplined way this includes investing 
in our people to enable them to work to 
the best of their abilities supported by 
systems policies and procedures that 
ensure that our growth is achieved in a 
controlled and repeatable manner we 
are evolving the organisation to ensure 
our global footprint is aligned to meet 
the needs of our customers quickly 
while retaining its agility to capture 
opportunities
a strong foundation for the 
future
we have long believed the market 
opportunity exists to provide customers 
with largerscale power projects on a semi
permanent basis in a way that helps them 
to address an often chronic imbalance in 
the supply of and demand for electricity in 
a faster smarter way 
our approach is to build a strong reliable 
and repeatable platform we have made 
significant progress in this area in recent 
years building the capabilities to meet 
our customers’ needs we have invested 
in an advanced and scalable fleet we 
have developed our proprietary modular 
building process and have put regional 
hubs in place to serve our strategic 
markets all of these investments enable 
us to move at pace – winning new 
contracts and continuing to achieve high 
renewal rates improving mobilisation and 
installation time while retaining flexibility to 
be both scalable and customisable 
we have developed strategic partnerships 
which provide us with reliable stateof
theart technology and around the clock 
support across the world and we have 
deliberately differentiated ourselves 
through our broad technologically 
advanced and scalable fleet with a 
particular focus on our mobile turbines 
through major projects such as uruguay 
and libya we have shown that mobile 
turbine technology does and will continue 
to play an important role in the growth 
of the fasttrack power solutions market 
as customers look for reliable technology 
with greater powerdensity and emissions 
control we have also seen that by 
employing technologies offering the latest 
advancements in fuel efficiency we can 
reduce significantly the total operating 
cost for the customer over the use of older 
more technologicallydated equipment 
this advantage has helped us win projects 
over the course of the year
with this strong foundation we are 
focused on extending and expanding our 
existing portfolio of contracts and growing 
our global footprint via opportunities 
with new customers and in new markets 
all the while we continue to evolve and 
enhance our platform through a focus 
on operational excellence and continued 
investment in our people and our assets
outlook 
apr energy believes that the outlook for 
the mobile gas turbine market remains 
positive the group continues to see strong 
structural demand for power solutions in 
africa latin america the middle east and 
south east asia where available new power 
capacity significantly lags growing demand
the scalability of this technology allows 
large amounts of power to be deployed 
swiftly and efficiently this combined with 
low emissions and dualfuel capability 
makes turbines the technology of choice 
for customers requiring largescale rapidly 
delivered power the group is well placed 
to capture opportunities to provide larger
scale longerterm power
our focus for the year ahead includes 
securing a number of key contracts 
renewals transferring the ge contracts 
that are due for renewal onto more 
favourable terms or redeploying these 
assets developing opportunities through 
our partnership with ge and importantly 
continuing to deliver an improved financial 
and operational performance
market expectations for 2014 reflect 
strong yearonyear growth for the group 
subject to fluctuations in exchange rates 
the board’s expectations for the current 
financial year remain unchanged
