Item 8.01. Other Events.

As indicated within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, Willbros Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) announced in January 2012, that it has redefined its operating segments. Canada was designated as a separate segment in recognition of the growth potential in the oil sands and the growth and performance objectives established for the country management team. The remainder of the Upstream Oil & Gas segment and the Downstream Oil & Gas segment were combined into a single new segment entitled “Oil & Gas” with two primary business activities – Professional Services and Construction and Maintenance. In addition, one of the Registrant’s Utility T&D subsidiaries, Premier was moved into the Oil & Gas segment under Professional Services to augment the Registrant’s integrity services business. The Registrant has revised its presentation of its reportable segments to reflect these changes and has retrospectively adjusted all comparable prior period information on that basis.

The Registrant is filing this current report on Form 8-K to reflect the impact of the segment realignment on previously issued financial statements. This will permit the Registrant to incorporate these financial statements by reference in future Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. The impact of the segment realignment is reflected in the following sections of the Registrant’s 2011 Form 10-K, which has been revised and are included as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4, respectively, to this current report on Form 8-K:

 

   

Part I, Items 1. and 2. Business and Properties and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors;

 

   

Part II, Item 6. Selected Financial Data;

 

   

Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and

 

   

Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Part IV, Item 15(a)(2). Financial Statement Schedule.

The Notes to the Financial Statements in Item 8 that were impacted by the segment realignment include:

 

Note 1         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Note 3         Acquisitions

 

Note 7         Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Note 15         Segment Information

 

Note 18         Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)

This current report on Form 8-K speaks as of April 9, 2012, the date the Registrant filed its 2011 Form 10-K and does not reflect events occurring after April 9, 2012, and none of the information

 

- 1 -


included in this current report on Form 8-K modifies or updates the disclosures in the 2011 Form 10-K, other than as required to reflect the segment realignment as described above. Significant developments with respect to those disclosures, including changes to the Registrant’s business, have occurred and are described in subsequent filings with the SEC, including the Registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and the Registrant’s current reports on Form 8-K filed subsequent to the 2011 Form 10-K. This current report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2011 Form 10-K and the Registrant’s subsequent filings.
