HOUSTON, TX, NOVEMBER 7, 2011 — Willbros Group, Inc. (NYSE: WG) announced today
financial results for the third quarter of 2011. Willbros reported a net loss of $111.3 million, or
$2.34 per share, on revenue of $466.1 million. Willbros reported net income from continuing
operations, before special items, of $2.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share (this is a non-GAAP
measure, and schedules for the GAAP to non-GAAP adjustment reconciliations in this press release
are provided in the accompanying schedule). Third quarter results include two non-cash items
related to the Utility T&D segment: 1) an estimated $134.3 million pre-tax goodwill impairment
charge and 2) a $4.0 million reduction of the earnout contingency. EBITDA, from continuing
operations, increased to $32.2 million. Operating income, adjusted for special items, increased to
$13.8 million in the third quarter compared to $13.1 million in the second quarter 2011.
The Company paid down an additional $22.2 million of its term loan in the third quarter for a total
of $94.7 million in debt reduction for the first nine months of 2011. Also, during the fourth
quarter, Willbros completed the disposition of a non-strategic business unit, and applied certain
proceeds from that transaction to further reduce its debt. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had
reduced its total indebtedness by $113.4 million during 2011 resulting in a remaining principal
balance of $185.9 million on the outstanding term loan.
Randy Harl, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to have exceeded our
2011 debt reduction goal of $50 to $100 million. As we communicated on the second quarter call, we
anticipated third quarter results would be similar to the second quarter and I can report that we
met that expectation. Our improved operating performance is the result of our strategic initiatives
and our efforts to match our cost structure and resources with the substantial work commitments we
have before us. While we have a lot more work to do to improve our performance and our financial
flexibility, we believe that we will see the growing impact of these changes in our results going
forward. As we move into the seasonally weaker fourth and first quarters and execute our current
workload, we believe our much improved utilization rates will enable us to generate substantially
better results compared to the prior year period.”

Backlog(6)
At September 30, 2011, Willbros reported total backlog from continuing operations of $2.3 billion
compared to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2010. Twelve month backlog was $910.8 million, up from
$828.6 million at December 31, 2010. New work awards in the third quarter totaled $433.0 million.
Segment Operating Results
Upstream Oil & Gas
Upstream Oil & Gas
For the third quarter of 2011, the Upstream segment reported operating income of $13.6 million on
revenue of $226.4 million, as compared to $29.7 million on revenue of $189.4 million in the same
period of 2010. Third quarter results were led by the successful completion of the Acadian pipeline
construction project, continued growth of our regional offices in the major shale plays and other
liquids-rich basins and good performance in Engineering and on EPC projects. Third quarter results
in 2010 included the impact of high utilization on the Fayetteville Express Pipeline project.
Downstream Oil & Gas
For the third quarter of 2011, the Downstream segment reported an operating loss of $3.9 million on
revenue of $53.7 million, slightly improved compared to the second quarter 2011 loss of $4.1
million, but lower than the third quarter 2010 operating income of approximately $400 thousand,
before the $12.0 million pre-tax impairment charge. The segment continues to be impacted in the
United States by delayed turnaround spending and uncertain timing of small capital projects by our
customers. During the quarter, the Downstream segment won turnaround, tank and field services work
valued at approximately $58.0 million. Downstream also won an engineering services agreement which
has led to an EPC small capital project.
Utility T&D
For the third quarter of 2011, the Utility T&D segment reported operating income, before special
items, of $4.1 million on revenue of $186.0 million, compared to income of $8.9 million on revenue
of $187.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. While Hurricane Irene contributed some storm
restoration revenue and income, this was more than offset by the impact of weather and additional
labor costs on capital projects in the Northeast. Major electric transmission work contributed
significantly to improved performance over the comparable period in 2010, which generated $133.7
million of revenue and an operating loss of $15.9 million. The performance of the Utility T&D
segment greatly improved in the past two quarters due to increased transmission construction
activity in Texas, on Oncor’s portion of the Competitive Renewable Energy Zone (“CREZ”) work, and
in the Northeast, on the Maine Power Reliability Program.
Liquidity
At September 30, 2011, the Company had $68.3 million of cash and equivalents. The Company utilized
$22.2 million in cash to reduce the term loan in the third quarter. The Company’s objective is to
achieve a 3.0 to 1.0 (or less) leverage ratio and open up full access to its credit facility.
During the third quarter, the

Company negotiated an amendment to its 6.5% Senior Notes indenture to give it more flexibility to
access its revolver which currently provides $25 million of additional liquidity that is undrawn.

| (1) | Operating income (loss), and net income (loss) from continuing operations, before special items, non-GAAP financial measures, exclude special items that management believes affect the comparison of results for the periods presented. Management also believes results excluding these items are more comparable to estimates provided by securities analysts and therefore are useful in evaluating operational trends of the Company and its performance relative to other engineering and construction companies. | |
| (2) | Calculation of net income applicable to common shares (numerator for diluted earnings per share calculation) excludes interest expense of $1,246 and $2,108, related to both the 2.75% and 6.5% convertible notes, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. | |
| (3) | Excluding the special items for the three months ended September 30, 2011 would result in net income from continuing operations, thus reclassifying 183,581 shares from anti-dilutive to dilutive. Excluding the special items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 would result in a net loss from continuing operations, thus reclassifying all shares currently reported as dilutive to anti-dilutive. | |
| (4) | EBITDA is earnings before net interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization and intangible asset impairments. EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful measure of evaluating its financial performance because of its focus on the Company’s results from operations before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. However, EBITDA is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by investors, financial analysts and rating agencies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is included in the exhibit to this release. | |
| (5) | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization and intangible asset impairments, as adjusted for other items that management considers to be non-recurring, unusual or not indicative of our core operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for comparing normalized operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry and presentations made to our analysts, investment banks and other members of the financing community who use this information in order to make investing decisions about us. Most of the adjustments reflected in Adjusted EBITDA are also included in performance metrics under our credit facilities and other financing arrangements. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measurement recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. | |
| (6) | Backlog is anticipated contract revenue from projects for which award is either in hand or reasonably assured. Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) backlog is estimated for the remaining term of the contract. MSA backlog is determined based on historical trends inherent in the MSAs, factoring in seasonal demand and projecting customers needs based upon ongoing communications with the customer. |
