GLOBAL POWER EQUIPMENT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Global Power Equipment Group Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise, “Global Power”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a leading provider of power generation equipment and industrial maintenance services. Through our Products Division, we design, engineer and manufacture gas turbine auxiliary equipment products for customers throughout the world. Through our Services Division, we provide on-site modification and maintenance, outage management and facility upgrade services for nuclear power plants and specialty maintenance and other industrial services to hydrocarbon power plants and other industrial operations in the United States. Our corporate headquarters are located in Irving, Texas, with facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Auburn, Massachusetts; Atlanta, Georgia; Monterrey, Mexico; Shanghai, China; and Heerlen, The Netherlands.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”). The information in the condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of such financial statements. We believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to represent materially correct interim financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2012.

Discontinued Operations Presentation: In August 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of our Deltak LLC (“Deltak”) business unit. The results of Deltak operations for all periods presented have been reclassified to discontinued operations except where noted. The following notes relate to our continuing operations only unless otherwise noted (See Note 3 – Discontinued Operations and Sale of Deltak Assets).

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Power Equipment Group Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could vary materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

Dollar Amounts: All dollar amounts (except per share amounts) presented in the tabulations within the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) (“ASU 2011-05”) changes the options when presenting comprehensive income. The update gives companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in the update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This amendment also required an entity to present on the face of the financial statements adjustments for items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income; however, this portion of the guidance has been deferred. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We now present condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as a result of adopting the update.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (the revised standard). Under this new standard, entities testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment now have an option of performing a qualitative assessment before having to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. If an entity

Table of Contents

determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that there is a more likely than not chance that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the existing quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. This standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted under certain conditions. We do not expect the adoption of this standard will have any material effect on our financial statements or results of operations.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND SALE OF DELTAK ASSETS

During the third quarter of 2011, we completed the sale of the operating net assets of our Deltak business unit, which was part of the Products Division. We have reported the disposition of the Deltak business unit as discontinued operations in accordance with the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 – Discontinued Operations. The following table presents selected information regarding the results of our discontinued operations:

NOTE 4 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted to include the incremental effect of common shares that would be issued upon the conversion of warrants and the vesting and release of restricted stock awards.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated as follows:

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

The overall effective income tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended
June  30,
    Six Months Ended
June  30,
 
     2012     2011     2012     2011  

Effective income tax rate

     48.8     -425.2     46.8     -388.2

The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily because of state and foreign income taxes and permanent differences, changes in the valuation allowance realized in 2011 and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

In the second quarter of 2011, we assessed our valuation allowances against deferred tax assets for intangible assets, accruals and U.S. net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards in accordance with ASC 740 – Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Management’s assessment included consideration of all available positive and negative evidence including, among other evidence, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), recent utilization of NOL carryforwards, historical operating income, projected future taxable income, customer concentration, tight credit markets, and tax planning strategies. Based on results of the assessment, we determined that it was more likely than not that the U.S. NOL carryforwards were realizable based on the guidance provided in ASC 740. Because the U.S. NOL carryforwards were expected to be realized due to 2011 and future year’s income, only the portion attributable to future year’s income was released as a discrete event during the second quarter of 2011. We recognized a non-recurring, non-cash tax benefit in the second quarter of 2011 for continuing operations of $40.0 million related to the release of valuation allowances as of June 30, 2011. Additionally, we increased valuation allowances in the second quarter of 2011 by $0.5 million for state NOL modifications.

As of June 30, 2012, we would need to generate approximately $98.8 million of future financial taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.

As of both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we provided for a liability of $5.8 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal, foreign and state income tax matters, which was included in long-term deferred tax assets and other long-term liabilities. If recognized, the entire amount of the liability would affect the effective tax rate. As of June 30, 2012, we have accrued approximately $2.0 million in other long-term liabilities for potential payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

NOTE 6 – DEBT

New Credit Facility: On February 21, 2012, we entered into a new $100 million Credit Facility (“New Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, U.S. Bank National Association, as Syndication Agent and the various lending institutions party thereto. The New Credit Facility is a multicurrency revolving credit facility with a letter of credit sublimit of $75 million and an accordion feature not to exceed $50 million. Proceeds of borrowings under the New Credit Facility may be used for working capital, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings.

The interest rate on letters of credit issued under the revolving letter of credit was 1.25% per annum as of June 30, 2012. We also pay an unused line fee of 0.20%. Should we need to borrow against the revolver facility, at any time during the agreement, we would incur an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum. As of June 30, 2012, our outstanding letters of credit under the New Credit Facility totaled approximately $17.6 million for our domestic entities. We also had outstanding letters of credit issued by another financial institution for our non-U.S. entities of $12.8 million, which reduced our available capacity sublimit for letters of credit under the New Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2012, we had unused commitments of $69.7 million on our New Credit Facility.

The New Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type (subject to negotiated exceptions and baskets), including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments and dispositions. There are also financial covenants that require us to maintain a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The New Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay principal when due, failure to pay interest within three business days after becoming due, failure to pay other obligations within five days after becoming due, failure to comply with covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, default under certain other indebtedness, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting us and our subsidiaries, the occurrence of certain material judgments, or a change in control of the Company. We have given a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets as security for the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 21, 2017.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. As of June 30, 2012, we had unamortized deferred financing fees on our New Credit Facility of $0.9 million.

Previous Credit Facility: Upon entering into our New Credit Facility, we extinguished our previous $150 million Credit Facility (“Previous Credit Facility”). Our Previous Credit Facility consisted of a $60 million revolving letter of credit facility, including a $25 million cash advance sub-facility, and a $90 million term loan facility. On November 18, 2010, we repaid the outstanding balance of the term loan facility and all related interest in full. The Previous Credit Facility would have terminated on January 22, 2014 and any amounts outstanding at that time would have been due and payable in full, if it had not been extinguished on February 21, 2012 when we entered into our New Credit Facility.

On February 21, 2012, the amortization of debt financing costs pertaining to the Previous Credit Facility was accelerated, increasing the amount of interest expense recognized during the first quarter of 2012 by $1.1 million.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation: We are involved from time to time in legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending actions, either individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any legal actions cannot be predicted, and therefore, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

Asbestos Cases: A former operating unit of Global Power has been named as a defendant in a limited number of asbestos personal injury lawsuits. Neither we nor our predecessors ever mined, manufactured, produced or distributed asbestos fiber, the material that allegedly caused the injury underlying these actions. The bankruptcy court’s discharge order issued upon emergence from bankruptcy extinguished the claims made by all plaintiffs who had filed asbestos claims against us before that time. We also believe the bankruptcy court’s discharge order should serve as a bar against any later claim filed against us, including any of our subsidiaries, based on alleged injury from asbestos at any time before emergence from bankruptcy. In any event in all of the asbestos cases finalized post-bankruptcy, we have been successful in having such cases dismissed without liability. We intend to vigorously defend all currently active actions, just as we defended the other actions that have since been dismissed, all without liability, and we do not anticipate that any of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any legal action cannot be predicted, and therefore, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Warrants: On January 22, 2008, we issued warrants to purchase 1,807,236 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $7.9254. The warrants vested immediately upon issuance. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, warrants were exercised to purchase 730,282 shares of common stock. The stock was issued in a cashless transaction whereby we withheld 209,451 shares of common stock as payment of the exercised purchase warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, all issued warrants have been exercised.

Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and results of operations are translated using an average rate during the period. Translation adjustments are accumulated and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). The amount of accumulated comprehensive income/(loss) related to foreign currency translation was an unrealized loss of $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation: We granted 246,255 shares of restricted stock awards to employees and directors during the six months ended June 30, 2012 at a weighted-average fair value price per share of $27.31. These restricted stock awards include 93,837 time-based shares that will vest ratably over four years and 152,418 performance-based shares that will vest in one year. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we vested 407,674 shares of stock-based compensation to employees and directors. Included in the shares vested in the six months ended June 30, 2012 were 33,373 restricted stock awards that vested in accordance with the retirement agreement of our former Chief Executive Officer.

Dividend and Stock Repurchase Program: In May 2012, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend policy. On June 29, 2012, we paid cash dividends of $0.09 per share of common stock, for an aggregate of $1.5 million to the holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on June 13, 2012. Dividend equivalents equal to the dividends payable on the same number of shares of our common stock were accrued on unvested restricted stock awards, although no dividend equivalents are paid on any of these restricted stock awards that are forfeited prior to the vesting date. Dividends are paid out in cash at the vesting date on restricted stock awards. Additionally, in May 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to two million shares of our common stock until the earlier of June 30, 2014 or a determination by the Board of Directors to discontinue the repurchase program. There were no repurchases under the repurchase program from inception of the program through June 30, 2012.

Our Services Division revenue, virtually all of which was derived in the U.S., was $61.1 million and $133.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, our Services Division revenue was $83.8 million and $167.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 30, 2012, we acquired Koontz-Wagner Custom Controls Holdings LLC (“Koontz-Wagner”), a leading manufacturer and integrator of engineered packaged control house solutions for the energy, oil & gas, and electrical industries. The aggregate consideration paid consisted of $31.5 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments. As this transaction was effective July 30, 2012, the results of Koontz-Wagner will be included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on such date. The addition of Koontz-Wagner’s engineered packaged control house solutions will expand our products portfolio to our current customers, and supports the global expansion into adjacent infrastructure products and services. Koontz-Wagner’s financial results will be included in our Products Division.

On August 3, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock to the holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on September 10, 2012 to be paid on or about September 28, 2012.

Overview

We are a comprehensive provider of power generation equipment and modification and maintenance services for customers in the domestic and international energy, power infrastructure and service industries. We operate through two business segments, which we refer to as our Products Division and our Services Division.

 

   

Through our Products Division, we design, engineer and manufacture a comprehensive range of gas turbine auxiliary equipment primarily used to enhance the efficiency and facilitate the operation of gas turbine power plants as well as for other industrial, energy and power-related applications.

 

   

Through our Services Division, we provide on-site specialty modification and maintenance, outage management and facility upgrade services for nuclear power plants and specialty maintenance and other industrial services to fossil-fuel and hydroelectric power plants and other industrial operations in the United States (“U.S.”).

For information about our segments, see Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In both our segments, our operations are based on discrete projects subject to contract awards of varying scopes and values. Business volume fluctuates due to many factors, including the mix of work and project schedules, which are dependent on the level and timing of customer releases of new projects. Significant fluctuations may occur from period to period in revenue, gross profit and operating results and are discussed below.

Dividend and Stock Repurchases

In May 2012, our Board of Directors approved a dividend policy pursuant to which it plans to make, subject to subsequent declaration, quarterly dividends. On June 29, 2012, our initial cash dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock, for an aggregate of $1.5 million was paid to the holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on June 13, 2012. Additionally, in May 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to two million shares of our common stock. To date, we have not repurchased any shares.

New Credit Facility

On February 21, 2012, we extinguished our previous $150 million Credit Facility (“Previous Credit Facility”) and entered into a new $100 million Credit Facility (“New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility allows for borrowings up to $100 million, with an accordion feature for up to $50 million of additional borrowing capacity. The facility has a letter of credit sublimit of $75 million and provides access to multi-currency funds. The New Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 21, 2017.

Sale of Deltak Assets

On August 31, 2011, we sold substantially all of the operating assets of our Deltak LLC (“Deltak”) business unit, which was part of our Products Division, for $31.0 million in cash, less a $4.9 million working capital adjustment. We have reclassified the historical results of operations of our Deltak business unit to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless noted otherwise, the discussion and analysis that follows relates to our continuing operations only.

Business Outlook

Products:

Year-to-date operating results for our Products Division reflect lower shipment volumes compared to the prior year period primarily due to the timing of customers taking delivery of equipment. Developments in the second quarter of 2012 include indications that the anticipated increase in gas turbine installations in the U.S. continues to lag as a result of weak demand in the current volatile economy. Proposal activity for near-term projects has decreased. We believe that our outlook remains positive as demand increases for global power generation capacity additions, but has been affected by short-term headwinds resulting from continued macro-economic uncertainties and a slowing recovery in certain geographic markets. Natural gas power generation remains a less expensive and a lower emission alternative to coal-fired power generation, and we are in a strong position to take advantage of this once a sustainable recovery takes hold. Gross margins realized during the first half of 2012 were stronger than in 2011, primarily due to higher “as sold” margins booked as the original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) cycle gradually emerges from the extended trough.

On July 30, 2012, we acquired Koontz-Wagner Custom Controls Holdings LLC (“Koontz-Wagner”), a leading manufacturer and integrator of engineered packaged control house solutions for the energy, oil & gas, and electrical industries. The addition of Koontz-Wagner’s engineered packaged control house solutions will expand our products portfolio to our current customers, and supports the global expansion into adjacent infrastructure products and services. Koontz-Wagner’s financial results will be included in our Products Division beginning on July 30, 2012.

Services:

Within our Services Division, year-to-date revenue is lower primarily due to fewer refueling outages at nuclear power plants in the first half of 2012 as compared to the first half of 2011 and the completion of a large capital project during the first quarter of 2011. Also, capital spending constraints and deferred maintenance requirements in response to lower electricity demand and a mild 2011 winter have negatively impacted revenue as some of our customers have reduced the scope of elective maintenance projects. Although we believe we have maintained market share during this period, we continue to see full scope engineering, procurement and construction firms and other niche companies seeking to expand into nuclear modification and maintenance services. The impact of the unfavorable year-over-year revenue declines has been partially offset by increased scope related to our participation on new build and re-start nuclear project sites in the U.S. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued preliminary guidance related to certain modifications on the domestic nuclear fleet, but the timing and scope of such modifications remain uncertain as domestic utilities evaluate how these preliminary guidelines will apply to their nuclear sites. We do not anticipate earnings in 2012 from contract opportunities that may result from this guidance, but do anticipate projects to materialize by the second half of 2013. Our margins realized in the first half of 2012 have improved from 2011 due to operational execution and efficient project management on capital projects.

Backlog:

Our backlog consists of firm orders or blanket authorizations from our customers. Backlog may vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period due to the timing of customer commitments. The time between receipt of an order and actual completion, or delivery, of our products varies from a few weeks, in the case of inventoried precision parts, to a year or more, in the case of custom designed gas turbine auxiliary equipment and other major plant components. We add a booking to our backlog for Products Division orders when we receive a purchase order or other written contractual commitment from a customer. The maintenance services we provide through our Services Division are typically carried out under long-term contracts spanning several years. Upon signing a multi-year maintenance contract with a customer for services, we add to our backlog only the first twelve months of work that we expect to perform under the contract. Additional work that is not identified under the original contract is added to our backlog when we reach an agreement with the customer as to the scope and pricing of that additional work. Capital project awards are typically defined in terms of scope and pricing at the time of contractual commitment from the customer. Upon receipt of a customer commitment, capital project bookings are added to our backlog at full contract value regardless of the time frame anticipated to complete the project. Capital project bookings are removed from our backlog as work is performed and revenue is recognized, or until cancellation.

Backlog is not a measure defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and our methodology for determining backlog may vary from the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog amounts. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by our customers.

The following table shows our backlog, by division, as of the end of each of the last five quarters ($ in thousands):

Our Products Division backlog as of June 30, 2012 increased by $0.7 million from March 31, 2012 and increased by $15.5 million from June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in backlog since March 31, 2012 was primarily driven by revenue recognition that was delayed until after June 30, 2012, largely offset by a reduction in booking activity. While we remain optimistic about future prospects for new natural gas-fired generation projects, quote and booking activity has slowed indicating a delayed recovery. Bookings for the quarter were heavily concentrated on projects destined for international projects. The Middle East remains active and bookings destined for Asian projects increased during the second quarter of 2012. The ratio of orders booked to orders shipped was 1.0-to-1 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 1.1-to-1 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Our Services Division backlog as of June 30, 2012 increased by $67.0 million from March 31, 2012 and $70.5 million from June 30, 2011. The increase in backlog from March 31, 2012 was primarily due to new contract wins during the second quarter of 2012 related to scope expansion on new build and re-start nuclear project sites as well as the renewal and scope expansion of a

multi-year maintenance and modification contract for a significant customer. The build in backlog from new project bookings more than offset the impact of lower backlog from our core maintenance and modification services due to customer budget constraints. The ratio of project awards to services rendered was 2.1-to-1 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 1.4-to-1 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The $20.9 million or 38.3% decrease in Products Division revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period in 2011, was primarily due to customer delayed shipments and the timing of converting backlog into revenue as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, approximately $16.9 million of projects near completion and scheduled to ship during the second quarter were delayed until subsequent quarters. This was partially offset by $12.1 million of project shipments in the second quarter of 2012 that were substantially completed in the first quarter of 2012. Compared to the corresponding period in 2011, there were no material project shipments delayed in the second quarter of 2011, and project shipments of approximately $20.0 million that were substantially completed in the first quarter of 2011 were shipped in the second quarter of 2011.

Project shipment dates often change after a project is added to our backlog due to project site logistics or customer driven change orders among other reasons including transportation logistics. Our backlog was concentrated on products destined for Middle East projects as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012. As a result, project shipment delays for both quarters were also concentrated on these projects with no other geographic market comprising a significant concentration of delayed shipments. Reduced revenue from delayed project shipments was partially offset by increased shipments to projects in the U.S.

The $9.3 million or 12.3% decrease in Products Division revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period in 2011, was primarily due to customer delayed shipments and the timing of converting backlog into revenue as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. Approximately $16.9 million of projects near completion and scheduled to ship during the second quarter of 2012 were delayed until subsequent quarters as noted above.

Services Revenue.

The composition of our Services Division revenue varies from period to period based on contract mix (cost plus versus fixed price and capital versus maintenance) and the number and scope of outages under our evergreen maintenance contracts.

The decrease in Services Division revenue of $22.8 million or 27.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period in 2011, resulted from an approximate $16.8 million in revenue from outage work in the second quarter of 2011 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2012 and approximately $15.4 million attributable to work performed in the prior year under a contract that has since expired. The impact of these volume reductions was partially offset by approximately $9.4 million primarily from our expansion of our nuclear services and construction support work at new build and re-start nuclear reactor sites.

The decrease in Services Division revenue of $34.2 million or 20.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period in 2011, resulted from an approximate $15.6 million in revenue from outage work in the first half of 2011 that did not recur in the first half of 2012, approximately $24.1 million attributable to work performed in the prior year under a contract that has since expired and a further reduction of $12.6 million from a large capital project that was completed in the first quarter of 2011. The impact of these volume reductions was partially offset by approximately $18.1 million from expansion of our nuclear services and construction support work at new build and re-start nuclear reactor sites.

Products.

The decrease in Products Division gross profit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding periods in 2011, was primarily due to decreases in revenue during the comparative periods of 38.3% and 12.3%, respectively. The impact of the volume reductions on gross profit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011 was approximately $4.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Also impacting the decrease during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $0.7 million of unfavorable specific warranty reserve adjustments. The effects of the revenue decreases were partially offset by increases in realized gross margin percentage of $1.0 million and $1.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to higher “as sold” margins on projects booked in 2011 for shipments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

The decrease in Services Division gross profit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding periods in 2011, was primarily due to decreases in revenue, which impacted gross profit dollars by approximately $2.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The volume reduction was partially offset by increases in realized gross margin percentage for a favorable impact of $1.3 million and $3.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to improved operational execution and efficient project management on capital projects in 2012.

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses include the costs associated with conducting our business, including general management, compensation and benefits of employees that are not direct costs of active projects, officers and directors, legal and professional fees and other general expenses.

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased by $2.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was impacted by $0.9 million in expenses related to the exit of our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and hiring of our new CEO including $0.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of our former CEO’s restricted stock awards. Also impacting the increase in consolidated selling and administrative expenses was an increase of $0.5 million in mergers and acquisitions fees and expenses and higher costs for personnel and expenses related to the enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system implementation within our Products Division.

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased by $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to $0.9 million in expenses related to CEO transition costs as mentioned above. Included in the CEO transition costs was $0.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of our former CEO’s restricted stock awards. Also impacting the increase in consolidated selling and administrative expenses was $0.5 million in non-cash stock compensation expense related to the 2012 grant of restricted stock awards and the setting of the 2012 performance condition portion of prior year’s restricted stock award grants to employees along with a $0.5 million increase in mergers and acquisitions fees and expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, we incurred additional expenses related to the ERP system implementation within our Products Division during the first half of 2012.

Operating income is the resulting sum of our gross profit less selling and administrative expenses. All selling and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are systematically charged to the reportable segments consistent with our segment disclosures.

Products.

Products Division operating income during the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $4.4 million or 85.1% compared to operating income during the corresponding period in 2011. Operating margins were 2.3% and 9.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit of $3.4 million stemming from customer delayed shipments including $0.7 million of unfavorable specific warranty adjustments discussed above. Also contributing to the decline in operating income was allocation to the Products Division of its proportionate share of discrete corporate selling and administrative expenses including CEO transition costs, stock compensation expense and higher mergers and acquisitions fees and expenses. In addition, our Products Division incurred additional expenses related to the ERP system implementation during the second quarter of 2012.

Products Division operating income during the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $2.2 million or 84.4% compared to operating income during the corresponding period in 2011. Operating margins were 0.6% and 3.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit of $0.5 million stemming from customer delayed shipments including $0.7 million of unfavorable specific warranty adjustments discussed above. Also contributing to the decline in operating income was allocation to the Products Division of its proportionate share of discrete corporate selling and administrative expenses including CEO transition costs, stock compensation expense and higher mergers and acquisitions fees and expenses. In addition, our Products Division incurred additional expenses related to the ERP system implementation during the first half of 2012.

Services.

Services Division operating income during the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $3.0 million or 71.5% compared to operating income during the corresponding period in 2011. Operating margins were 2.0% and 5.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to reduced gross profit of $1.5 million stemming primarily from declining plant outage work. Also contributing to the decline in operating income was allocation to the Services Division of its proportionate share of discrete corporate selling and administrative expenses including CEO transition costs, stock compensation expense and higher mergers and acquisitions fees and expenses.

Services Division operating income during the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $3.7 million or 45.6% compared to operating income during the corresponding period in 2011. Operating margins were 3.3% and 4.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to reduced gross profit of $1.1 million stemming primarily from declining plant outage work. Also contributing to the decline in operating income was allocation to the Services Division of its proportionate share of discrete corporate selling and administrative expenses including CEO transition costs, stock compensation expense and higher mergers and acquisitions fees and expenses.

Interest expense, net decreased $0.2 million or 71.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.1 million reduction in amortization of debt issuance costs related to our New Credit Facility, as compared to our Previous Credit Facility, due to lower debt issuance costs as well as lower interest expense of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to lower interest rates on our unused commitments and outstanding letters of credit.

Interest expense, net increased $0.7 million or 121.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to extinguishing our Previous Credit Facility, resulting in a $1.1 million charge to write-off the remaining portion of unamortized debt issuance costs. The increase was partially offset by $0.2 million in reduced amortization of debt issuance costs related to our New Credit Facility, as compared to our Previous Credit Facility, due to lower debt issuance costs as well as lower interest expense of $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to lower interest rates on our unused commitments and outstanding letters of credit.

Income tax expense for interim periods is based on estimates of the effective tax rate during the entire fiscal year. The effective income tax rate is based upon the estimated income during the year, the estimated composition of the income in different jurisdictions and discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for settlements of tax audits or assessments and the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our income tax provision was $0.9 million, or 48.8% of pre-tax income, compared to an income tax benefit of $39.0 million, in the corresponding period for 2011. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to 2011 valuation allowance releases that removed the majority of valuation allowances related to U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards partially offset by low income during the second quarter. The effective tax rate in 2012 differs from the statutory rate due to U.S. state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, our income tax provision was $1.6 million, or 46.8% of pre-tax income, compared to an income tax benefit of $39.0 million, in the corresponding period for 2011. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to 2011 valuation allowance releases that removed the majority of valuation allowances related to U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards partially offset by low income during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The effective tax rate in 2012 differs from the statutory rate due to U.S. state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.

In the second quarter of 2011, we assessed our valuation allowances against deferred tax assets for intangible assets, accruals and U.S. net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 – Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Management’s assessment included consideration of all available positive and negative evidence including, among other evidence, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), recent utilization of NOL carryforwards, historical operating income, projected future taxable income, customer concentration, tight credit markets, and tax planning strategies. Based on results of the assessment, we determined that it was more likely than not that the U.S. NOL carryforwards were realizable based on the guidance provided in ASC 740. Because the U.S. NOL carryforwards are expected to be realized due to current year and future year’s income, only the portion attributable to future year’s income was released as a discrete event during the second quarter of 2011. We recognized a non-recurring, non-cash tax benefit in the second quarter of 2011 for continuing operations of $40.0 million related to the release of valuation allowances as of June 30, 2011. Additionally, we increased valuation allowances in the second quarter of 2011 by $0.5 million for state NOL modifications.

As of June 30, 2012, we would need to generate approximately $98.8 million of future financial taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.

(Loss) income from discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were fully comprised of the Deltak business unit, divested on August 31, 2011. The loss from operations in 2012 consisted primarily of the winddown of in-process contracts and legal and professional fee expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of June 30, 2012, we had $90.5 million of unrestricted cash on our balance sheet, including $21.2 million on deposit outside the U.S. Cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our New Credit Facility represent our primary sources of short-term liquidity. We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents as well as our cash flow from operations and our available borrowings will be adequate to satisfy our working capital needs, general corporate purposes, capital expenditures, interest payments on our unused borrowing capacity, common stock repurchases, dividends on our common stock and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations over the next 12 months. Additionally, we may use cash on hand to support growth initiatives either organically or through acquisitions.

The primary elements of our working capital accounts are accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, other assets, accounts payable, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings and other accrued liabilities. We continually monitor our accounts receivable and manage our operating cash flows by managing the working capital accounts in total, rather than by the individual elements. This comprehensive view of working capital, taking into account each of the six primary elements listed, is both common and useful in our project-based industry, as it facilitates reviews of cash flow information at the total working capital level.

Our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on numerous factors beyond our control. We cannot be assured that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings in addition to our New Credit Facility will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to fund our liquidity needs. There can be no assurance that additional financing above our New Credit Facility will continue to be available in the future or that it will be available under terms acceptable to us. Failure to obtain sufficient capital could materially hinder our future expansion strategies.

On July 30, 2012, we acquired Koontz-Wagner and paid an aggregate consideration of $31.5 million excluding transaction costs and subject to working capital adjustments. The acquisition was funded from cash on hand.

Short-term Restricted Cash

In accordance with the Deltak sale agreement, we set aside $3.1 million in escrow which is currently classified as short-term restricted cash. On August 31, 2012, we expect to have a definitive determination of whether all, a portion or none of the $3.1 million will be released. As of June 30, 2012, there have been no claims by the buyer that would be considered claims against the cash in escrow.

Dividend and Stock Repurchases

In May 2012, our Board of Directors approved a dividend policy related to our common stock. On June 29, 2012, we paid approximately $1.5 million to the holders of record of our common stock as of June 13, 2012. We anticipate the cash used for future dividends and the repurchase program will come from current domestic cash and from on-going U.S. operating activities and the cash generated from such activities. The timing and amounts of any future dividends are subject to determination and approval by our Board of Directors. On August 3, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock to the holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on September 10, 2012 to be paid on or about September 28, 2012.

Additionally, in May 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to two million shares of our common stock until the earlier of June 30, 2014 or a determination by the Board of Directors to discontinue the repurchase program. There were no repurchases under the repurchase program from inception of the program through June 30, 2012. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares.

Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.5 million and was impacted by the following:

 

   

Net income of $1.7 million, adjusted by non-cash expenses of $3.9 million for stock-based compensation and $1.2 million of amortization of deferred financing costs.

 

   

Net accounts receivable decreased by $14.5 million contributing higher operating cash flows. This change included favorable contributions from both our Products and Services Divisions.

 

   

A decrease in cash due to a total of $20.0 million of additional working capital deployed (the sum of the changes in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings) to jobs in progress as of June 30, 2012. This change was primarily driven by delayed shipments in our Products Division and also impacted by the timing of billings in our Services Division.

 

   

A decrease in cash of $1.6 million for accrued and other liabilities due to month-end payroll cut off dates.

Cash flows provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $0.8 million was impacted by the following:

 

   

Net income of $50.5 million, reduced by approximately $40.1 million non-cash income from the valuation allowance release for continuing and discontinued operations during the second quarter of 2011. Offsetting the impact of the valuation allowance release were non-cash expenses of $2.9 million for stock-based compensation and $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization on plant, property and equipment and intangible assets.

 

   

Net accounts receivable decreased by $6.2 million contributing higher operating cash flows. The positive cash flows were the result of collections by the Services Division, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable in our Products Division.

 

   

A decrease in cash of $1.3 million due to higher on-hand inventory levels and a higher level of project activity in the Products Division.

 

   

A decrease in cash due to a total of $11.3 million of additional working capital deployed (as defined above) to jobs in progress as of June 30, 2011. This change was primarily driven by increases in project activity within the Products Division.

 

   

A decrease in cash of $2.0 million due to an increase in other current assets from timing of corporate prepayments.

 

   

A decrease in cash from accrued and other liabilities of $4.8 million due to a use of cash of $5.8 million from the timing of annual bonus payments and month-end payroll cut off dates, partially offset by an increase in legal and professional fees of $0.9 million that were accrued but not paid as of June 30, 2011.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased by $0.5 million from the $1.7 million used in investing activities in the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to capital purchases in our Products Division related to the new ERP system placed in service in the second quarter of 2012.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities of $5.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased by $2.6 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in the first half of 2012 was primarily attributable to cash expenditures of $1.5 million related to cash dividends paid in the second quarter of 2012 and $0.9 million for costs associated with the issuance of our New Credit Facility.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

The effect of exchange rate changes decreased cash by $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily driven by the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012. The effect of exchange rate changes increased cash by $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

Discontinued Operations

Cash flows used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 included operating cash flows provided by discontinued operations of $0.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, operating cash flows provided by discontinued operations were $1.2 million.

Financing

Credit Facilities. On February 21, 2012, we extinguished our Previous Credit Facility and entered into a New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility allows for borrowings up to $100 million, with an accordion feature for up to $50 million of additional borrowing capacity. The facility has a letter of credit sublimit of $75 million and provides access to multi-currency funds. The New Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 21, 2017. As of June 30, 2012, we had no debt outstanding.

The New Credit Facility, while structured to support strategic growth initiatives and provide flexibility regarding return on capital alternatives, includes affirmative and negative covenants, including customary limitations on securing additional debt and liens and restrictions on transactions and payments, as well as financial covenants relating to our consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio. If we fail to comply with the restrictions in the New Credit Facility, we will be in default and the participating banks may restrict our ability to borrow additional funds under the New Credit Facility, require that we immediately repay all outstanding loans with interest and require the cash collateralization of outstanding letter of credit obligations. We have given a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets as security for the New Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under the New Credit Facility.

We may review from time to time possible expansion and acquisition opportunities relating to our business. The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable. We may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt and/or equity issuances. Debt or equity financing may not, however, be available to us at that time due to a variety of events, including, among others, credit rating agency downgrades of our debt, industry conditions, general economic conditions, market conditions and market perceptions of us and our industry.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Our liquidity is currently not dependent on the use of off-balance sheet transactions but, in line with industry practice, we are often required to provide performance and surety bonds to customers and may be required to provide letters of credit. If performance assurances are extended to customers, generally our maximum potential exposure is limited in the contract with our customers. We frequently obtain similar performance assurances from third party vendors and subcontractors for work performed in the ordinary course of contract execution. However, the total costs of a project could exceed our original cost estimates, and we could experience reduced gross profit or possibly a loss for a given project. In some cases, if we fail to meet certain performance standards, we may be subject to contractual liquidated damages.

As of June 30, 2012, we had a contingent liability for issued and outstanding letters of credit, generally issued to secure performance on customer contracts. As of June 30, 2012, the balance of letters of credit totaled approximately $17.6 million for the domestic entities and $12.8 million for non-U.S. entities. Currently, there are no amounts drawn upon these letters of credit. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, we had outstanding surety bonds on projects of approximately $23.7 million. Our subsidiaries provide financial guarantees for certain contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2012, we had $2.6 million of subsidiary company financial guarantees outstanding.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Preparation of these statements requires management to make judgments and estimates. Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2012, addressed the accounting policies and related estimates that we believed were the most critical to understanding our consolidated financial statements, financial condition and results of operations and those that require management judgment and assumptions, or involve uncertainties. We did not have a significant change to the application of our critical accounting policies and estimates during the first six months of 2012.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to the table of contractual obligations presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2012.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We may be exposed to market risk through changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange fluctuations. We have established policies to monitor and control these market risks.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. We operate in a number of international areas and are involved in transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, which exposes us to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We have from time-to-time used derivative instruments to hedge our foreign currency transactions. We did not enter into any such instruments as of or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. We do not hold or issue foreign currency forward contracts, option contracts or other derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk. Our primary market risk exposure is volatility of interest rates, primarily in the U.S. We manage interest rates through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. We are subject to interest rate changes on our LIBOR-based variable interest under our New Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings on our New Credit Facility and have not borrowed funds since the November 2010 payoff of the term loan on our Previous Credit Facility.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. Based on the absence of any borrowings as of June 30, 2012, a 50 basis point fluctuation in short-term interest rates would have a de minimis impact on our expected pre-tax income on an annual basis.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

In the second quarter of 2012, we completed the implementation of a new ERP system for our Products Division, including our European operations. The implementation of the ERP system represents a redesign in our internal controls within our accounting and financial reporting system for the Products Division. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Below, we are providing, in supplemental form, the material changes to our risk factors that occurred during the past quarter. Our risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 provide additional disclosure and context for these supplemental risks for the second quarter 2012 and are incorporated herein by reference.

There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends or repurchase stock.

On May 30, 2012, our Board of Directors adopted a dividend policy pursuant to which we would pay quarterly dividends on our common stock and authorized for repurchases of two million shares of our common stock. Whether we continue and the amount and timing of such dividends and/or stock repurchases are subject to capital availability and periodic determinations by our Board of Directors that cash dividends and/or stock repurchases are in the best interest of our stockholders and are in compliance with all respective laws and agreements of the Company applicable to the declarations and payment of cash dividends and the repurchase of stock. Future dividends and stock repurchases, their timing and amount, as well as the relative allocation of cash between dividends and stock repurchases, may be affected by, among other factors: our views on potential future capital requirements for strategic transactions, including acquisitions; debt service requirements; our credit rating; changes to applicable tax laws or corporate laws; and changes to our business model. In addition, the amount we spend and the number of shares we are able to repurchase under our stock repurchase program may further be affected by a number of other factors, including the stock price and blackout periods in which we are restricted from purchasing shares. Our dividend payments and/or stock repurchases may change from time to time, and we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to declare dividends and/or repurchase stock in any particular amounts or at all. A reduction in or elimination of our dividend payments and/or stock repurchases could have a negative effect on our stock price.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

In April 2012, the Company issued 730,282 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of outstanding warrants, at an exercise price of $7.9254 per share. The Company did not receive any proceeds upon the exercise of the warrants. The stock was issued in a cashless transaction whereby we withheld 209,451 shares of common stock as payment of the exercised purchase warrants. Issuance of the shares of common stock was exempt from registration pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933. There have been no other unregistered sales of securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
