Value Creation Challenges
in engineering, construction, mining and oil & gas services sectors
The increased activity in the engineering, mining services and oil & gas services sectors over the past six months is very welcome as analysis of the value creation performance over the past few years clearly shows that these sectors have been experiencing value creation challenges.
The chart below is an analysis of the 3-year average economic profitability (a measure of short term value creation) performance of companies in the engineering, construction, infrastructure management, mining services and oil & gas services sectors between 2016 and 2018 which is the latest full data set available. This analysis shows that most companies were not economically profitable and therefore did not create value across this period (i.e. for most companies the 3-year average return on capital employed [ROCE] minus their weighted average cost of capital [WACC] = negative result).
