Willbros Group, Inc. Shareholders Encouraged to Contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Regarding Investigation

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Willbros Group, Inc. (“Willbros” or the “Company”) (NYSE:WG) concerning possible violations of federal securities laws. The investigation focuses on certain statements issued by Willbros regarding the Company's financial results, operations and business prospects.

Willbros operates as an energy infrastructure contractor serving the oil, gas, refinery, petrochemical, and power industries worldwide. Specifically, the investigation relates to the Company’s October 21, 2014, disclosure that it would restate second quarter 2014 results after identifying approximately $22 to $24 million in losses caused by the deterioration of a “significant pipeline construction project.” Additionally, the Company further disclosed that, “this deterioration consists of the reversal of approximately $8.0 million in pre-tax income previously recognized and the recognition of approximately $14.0 to $16.0 million in estimated pre-tax losses at project completion.” As a result of this news, Willbros stock declined over 33%, on unusually heavy volume.
