A record $20.6 billion work in hand (up 19.4%) and a high contract renewal rate (95%) indicate a robust and growing multi-year pipeline, underpinned by new and renewed long-term government and infrastructure contracts. This is likely to support recurring revenue growth and reduce earnings volatility.
