Toronto, ON – November 15, 2016: Aecon Group Inc. (TSX:ARE) announced today that it has been awarded a Master Turnaround Agreement (MTA) by Spectra Energy and a Multiple Use Agreement (MUA) by a major oil producer in Alberta.
The scope of work for Aecon’s Energy segment under the Spectra Energy MTA includes planning, construction equipment, labour, materials and supplies related to shutdown services on natural gas processing facilities in British Columbia. Work commenced in the fourth quarter of 2016 and is to be carried out over a five-year period.
The scope of work for Aecon’s Mining segment under the MUA involves reclamation, overburden removal, mine support services and civil construction activities. The MUA runs from the fourth quarter of 2016 through to December 31, 2020 and covers services for all of the major oil producer’s sites in the Alberta oil sands.
Aecon reported backlog as at September 30, 2016 of $4,551 million. Recurring revenue, including the MTA and MUA described here, is not included in backlog and is, therefore, revenue over and above work to be performed from contracts in backlog.
“These recurring revenue agreements provide a predictable revenue stream and added stability for both our Energy and Mining segments,” said John M. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer, Aecon Group Inc. “Our continued partnerships with our valued clients are a testament to our reputation as being a trusted, partner-of-choice in an increasingly competitive market in Western Canada,” said Beck.
