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 and control houses for customers throughout the world. Through our Services Division, we provide on-site specialty modification and maintenance services, outage management, facility upgrade services, specialty maintenance and other industrial services to nuclear, fossil-fuel and hydroelectric power plants and other industrial operations in the United States (“U.S.”). Our corporate headquarters are located in Irving, Texas, with various facilities around the U.S. and internationally in The Netherlands, Mexico and China.

Effective as of January 1, 2013, our Board of Directors determined to change from a traditional month-end calendar close cycle to a 4-4-5 calendar close methodology during interim periods. Our fiscal year will continue to end on December 31. Under this new methodology, each interim period is comprised of 13 weeks, which includes two 4-week months and one 5-week month, and begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. The 4-4-5 close methodology will change the accounting periods to month-end dates that would be different than the traditional last day of the standard month end. This change in methodology aligns our financial calendar to our payroll cycle simplifying our close process. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist within a reporting year. The reporting periods and applicable reports for the year 2013 are expected to be as follows:

Fiscal Period	Reporting Period	Report to be Filed
First quarter of fiscal 2013	January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Second quarter of fiscal 2013	April 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Third quarter of fiscal 2013	July 1, 2013 to September 29, 2013	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Fourth quarter of fiscal 2013	September 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013	Annual Report on Form 10-K

In the third quarter of 2012, we acquired two businesses (“2012 Acquisitions”) which expanded our products portfolio. The financial results of the 2012 Acquisitions have been included in our Products Division as of their respective acquisition dates.

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 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, 2012 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2013.

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.

Discontinued Operations Presentation: In August 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of our Deltak L.L.C. business unit. The following notes relate to our continuing operations only unless otherwise noted.

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.

8

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 requires disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on the respective line items of net income. The adoption of this standard in February 2013 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, and there was no material impact to our financial statement disclosures.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters: Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 provides updated guidance to clarify the applicable guidance for a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 3 – (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per common share is net (loss) income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) 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 (loss) earnings per common share are calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Net (loss) income:
(Loss) income from continuing operations	$	(1,201	)	$	892
Loss from discontinued operations		(40	)		(67	)
Net (loss) income available to common shareholders	$	(1,241	)	$	825

Basic (loss) earnings per common share	$	(0.07	)	$	0.05

Diluted loss per common share from discontinued operations		—			—
Diluted (loss) earnings per common share	$	(0.07	)	$	0.05

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 501,041 and 214,644 outstanding stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computations of diluted (loss) earnings per common share. Excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted (loss) earnings per common share are unvested performance-based restricted stock awards for which performance targets had not been set by the Board of Directors of 60,370 and 156,192 as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES

The overall effective income tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Effective income tax rate		34.0	%		44.4	%

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.

As of March 31, 2013, we would need to generate approximately $104.2 million of future financial taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.

As of both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we provided for a liability of $4.2 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 March 31, 2013, we have accrued approximately $2.2 million in other long-term liabilities for potential payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

NOTE 5 – DEBT

As of March 31, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings and we were in compliance with all debt covenants. As of March 31, 2013, we had unamortized deferred financing fees on our $100 million credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) of $0.7 million.

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

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims: We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings 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. Moreover, during 2012, we secured insurance coverage that will help to reimburse the defense costs and potential indemnity obligations of our former operating unit relating to these claims. 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 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Dividends: In May 2012, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend policy. On March 5, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.09 per share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 18, 2013. The Company paid $1.5 million in conjunction with this dividend on March 29, 2013. The terms of our Revolving Credit Facility limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay and such terms are defined in the Revolving Credit Facility agreement.

Dividend equivalents equal to the dividends payable on the same number of shares of our common stock were accrued on unvested restricted stock awards. No dividend equivalents are paid on any unvested restricted stock awards that are forfeited prior to the vesting date. Dividend equivalents are paid out in cash at the vesting date on restricted stock awards. A non-cash accrual of $0.2 million for unpaid dividend equivalents for unvested restricted stock awards was included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. In addition, accumulated dividend equivalents of $0.1 million were payable upon the vesting of 288,392 shares of restricted stock awards in the first quarter of 2013.

10

Stock Repurchase Program: 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. We made no share repurchases of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013 under the repurchase program.

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. We had foreign currency translation adjustments resulting in $0.8 million of unrealized losses and $1.1 million of unrealized gains during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our foreign earnings are considered permanently reinvested and, therefore, we do not have any corresponding deferred taxes for our unremitted earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation: During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we vested 288,392 shares of stock-based compensation to employees and recorded a $0.9 million non-cash accrual related to the payment of statutory taxes due on the awards that was unpaid as of March 31, 2013.

We granted 98,653 shares of restricted stock awards subject only to service conditions to employees and directors during the three months ended March 31, 2013 at a weighted-average fair value price per share of $17.21. These service-based restricted stock awards will vest ratably over three or four years.

We also granted 156,687 restricted stock awards subject to service and performance conditions during the three months ended March 31, 2013 at a weighted-average fair value price per share of $17.32. Of these, 87,572 performance-based restricted stock awards will vest at the end of a one year performance period subject to multiple target levels of operating income. The remaining 69,115 performance-based restricted stock awards will cliff vest at the end of a three year performance period subject to multiple target levels of operating margin. If the minimum target set in the agreement is not met, none of the shares would vest and no compensation expense would be recognized and any previously recognized compensation expense would be reversed. The actual number of shares that will ultimately vest is dependent on achieving fixed thresholds between the minimum and maximum performance condition and ranges between 0% and 200% the number of units originally granted. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to performance awards based upon our determination of the potential likelihood of achievement of the performance target at each reporting date, net of estimated forfeitures.

We also granted 69,081 market-based restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2013 which, in addition to being subject to continuing employment requirements are subject to a market condition in the form of a total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier. The actual number of shares that cliff vest at the end of the three-year vesting period is determined based on our TSR relative to the Russell 2000 over the related three-year performance period. Depending on the level of achievement, the actual number of shares that vest may range from 0% to 200% of the awards originally granted.

We estimate the fair value of our market-based restricted stock awards on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. This pricing model uses multiple simulations to evaluate our probability of achieving various stock price levels to determine our expected TSR performance ranking. Expense is only recorded for the number of market-based restricted stock awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of market-based restricted stock awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013
Expected term (years)		2.76
Expected volatility		36.8	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.3	%

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

We follow ASC 280—Segment Reporting, to present segment information. We considered the way our management team, most notably our chief operating decision maker, makes operating decisions and assesses performance and considered which components of our enterprise have discrete financial information available. As management makes decisions using a products and services group focus, our analysis resulted in two reportable segments, the Products Division and the Services Division.

The following tables present information about segment income:

	Products Division						Services Division				Total

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 30, 2013, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hetsco Holdings, Inc. (“Hetsco”), the parent company of Hetsco, Inc., a global provider of mission critical brazed aluminum heat exchanger repair, maintenance and safety services to the industrial gas, liquefied natural gas and petrochemical industries. The aggregate consideration paid consisted of $32.5 million funded using cash on hand and a $30.0 million draw on our Revolving Credit Facility, subject to working capital adjustments. As this transaction was effective April 30, 2013, the results of Hetsco will be included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on such date. We believe that the addition of Hetsco’s lifecycle services will broaden our reach into the industrial gas and oil and gas end markets and that Hetsco’s highly-skilled welders will bolster the Services Division capabilities for current utility customers. Hetsco’s financial results will be included in our Services Division business segment. On May 8, 2013, we made a $5.0 million repayment against the amounts drawn on our Revolving Credit Facility for the acquisition. As of May 8, 2013, we had $25.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and up to $62.1 million of available borrowing capacity.

14

On May 8, 2013, 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 June 14, 2013 to be paid on or about June 28, 2013.

The following discussion provides an analysis of the results of operations for each of our business segments, an overview of our liquidity and capital resources and other items related to our business. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2013.

Overview

We are a comprehensive provider of power generation equipment and modification and maintenance services for customers in the United States (“U.S.”) 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 and steam turbine auxiliary equipment and control houses 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 services, outage management, facility upgrade services, specialty maintenance and other industrial services to nuclear, fossil-fuel and hydroelectric power plants and other industrial operations in the U.S.

For information about our segments, see Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this 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.

In the third quarter of 2012, we acquired two businesses (“2012 Acquisitions”) which expanded our products portfolio. The financial results of the 2012 Acquisitions have been included in our Products Division as of their respective acquisition dates.

Business Outlook

Products:

Year-to-date operating results for our Products Division reflect higher shipment volumes compared to the prior year period primarily due to the incremental revenues from the 2012 Acquisitions offset by unfavorable market trends resulting from a limited number of new gas turbine installations. Gross margins realized during the first quarter of 2013 were weaker than in 2012, primarily due to unfavorable absorption from declining order rates and higher than anticipated costs on discrete projects in our organic products businesses. Currently, orders from the oil and gas pipeline infrastructure market are robust and we anticipate this market to be a source of revenue growth in 2013 for our business. We expect our Products Division revenue in 2013 to remain generally in line with or slightly above 2012 as the increase in revenue from our 2012 Acquisitions will offset a decline in our organic business. We expect the near-term market to be challenging due to the previously mentioned market trends putting pressure on gross margins in 2013. In the long-term, we expect our Products Division should benefit from the forecasted expansion of natural gas as a growing source of worldwide electricity production.

Services:

Within our Services Division, year-to-date revenue is higher as compared to the prior year period which is largely attributable to an increase in outage revenue due to both timing and scope as compared to the prior year period. Within our modification and maintenance services, our customers continue to experience lower demand for power as a result of a shift in demand from nuclear to gas power due to lower natural gas prices. As a result, U.S. utilities are expected to continue to defer elective maintenance and capital project work.

We had project scope on all of the U.S. new and re-start nuclear plant projects during the first quarter of 2013. We anticipate this support to increase during the second half of 2013.

In connection with the Fukushima, Japan incident in March 2011, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued preliminary guidance related to certain modifications on the U.S. nuclear fleet, but the timing and scope of such modifications remain uncertain as U.S. utilities evaluate how these preliminary guidelines will apply to their nuclear sites. We do anticipate some projects to begin to materialize by the second half of 2013 from this guidance.

Our margins realized in the first quarter of 2013 have declined from 2012 due to the higher margins realized on two capital projects in the prior year period.

17

Executing our Growth Strategy and other costs:

As we continue to execute our growth strategy our anticipated selling and administrative expenses are expected to increase as we invest in technologies and develop our team. In addition, the potential effects of implementing and compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 act on our selling and administrative expenses are uncertain.

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, selective catalytic emission reduction systems 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. We reduce Products Division backlog as revenue is recognized, or upon cancellation. 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. Maintenance services and capital project bookings are removed from our backlog as work is performed and revenue is recognized, or upon cancellation.

Backlog is not a measure defined by generally accepted accounting principles, 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):

	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012		September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012		March 31, 2012
Products Backlog	$	130,198	$	113,193	$	152,385	$	136,058	$	135,355
Services Backlog		257,066		280,561		301,916		266,451		199,412
Total	$	387,264	$	393,754	$	454,301	$	402,509	$	334,767

Our Products Division backlog as of March 31, 2013 increased by $17.0 million from December 31, 2012 and declined by $5.2 million from March 31, 2012. The increase in backlog since December 31, 2012 is primarily attributable to orders for oil and gas pipeline infrastructure projects in the U.S. Proposals for power generation projects remain steady with increased shipments expected in the second half of 2013. While we remain optimistic about the prospects for new natural gas-fired generation projects in the U.S., over 60% of our current backlog is for non-U.S. projects. The Middle East remains active and bookings destined for U.S., Asian and South American projects increased during the first quarter of 2013. The ratio of orders booked to orders shipped was 1.4-to-1 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Our Services Division backlog as of March 31, 2013 declined by $23.5 million from December 31, 2012 and increased by $57.7 million from March 31, 2012. The decline from December 31, 2012 was largely attributable to work performed on multi-year stated value projects. Of the $257.1 million in Services Division backlog as of March 31, 2013, we expect an estimated $99.8 million to convert to revenue beyond 2013. The ratio of project awards to services rendered was 0.7-to-1 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Results of Operations

Effective as of January 1, 2013, our Board of Directors determined to change from a traditional month-end calendar close cycle to a 4-4-5 calendar close methodology during interim periods. Our fiscal year will continue to end on December 31. Under this new methodology, each interim period is comprised of 13 weeks, which includes two 4-week months and one 5-week month, and begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. The 4-4-5 close methodology will change the accounting periods to month-end dates that would be different than the traditional last day of the standard month end. This change in methodology aligns our financial calendar to our payroll cycle simplifying our close process. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist within a reporting year. The reporting periods and applicable reports for the year 2013 are expected to be as follows:

Fiscal Period	Reporting Period	Report to be Filed

Products Revenue.

The composition of our Products Division revenue varies from period to period based on our product mix, the strength of various geographic markets we serve and our ability to address those markets. The geographic dispersion of where products were shipped during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows ($ in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Variance
	2013		2012		$			%

Middle East		9,065		12,885		(3,820	)		-29.6	%
South America		3,668		4,478		(810	)		-18.1	%
Other		155		168		(13	)		-7.7	%
Total	$	38,894	$	32,104	$	6,790			21.2	%

The $6.8 million increase in Products Division revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, was primarily due to incremental revenue of $10.1 million associated with the 2012 Acquisitions. The incremental revenue from the 2012 Acquisitions was comprised of energy infrastructure and power projects in the U.S. Partially offsetting the increase in revenue were decreased shipments in our organic businesses due to unfavorable market trends resulting from a limited number of new gas turbine installations.

Services Revenue.

The composition of our Services Division revenue varies from period to period based on contract mix (fixed price versus cost plus and capital versus maintenance) and the number and scope of outages under our evergreen maintenance contracts. The increase in Services Division revenue of $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily resulted from an increase in the scope of 2013 outage work.

Gross Profit / Margin %

	2013			2012			$			%
Gross Profit - Products	$	5,957		$	6,244		$	(287	)		-4.6	%

Total Gross Profit	$	15,966		$	16,492		$	(526	)		-3.2	%
Gross Margin %		13.7	%		15.8	%

Products.

The decrease in Products Division gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $0.3 million compared to the corresponding period in 2012, was primarily due to unfavorable absorption from declining job flow and higher than anticipated costs on discrete projects in our organic products business. The effect of the decline in gross margin percentage was partially offset by higher shipment volumes, which impacted gross profit dollars by approximately $1.3 million.

Services.

The decrease in Services Division gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $0.2 million compared to the corresponding period in 2012, was primarily due to the decrease in gross margin percentage, which impacted gross profit dollars by approximately $1.0 million offset by the increase in revenue. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to higher margins realized on two capital projects in the first quarter of 2012. This decrease was partially offset by $0.8 million of higher gross profit due to higher revenue.

Selling and marketing expenses include costs associated with selling and marketing our products and services. Major components of these costs are personnel, sales commissions, sales promotion, advertising, literature, bidding, estimating and trade shows.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in 2012, resulting primarily from incremental expenses of $0.3 million from the 2012 Acquisitions and $0.3 million due to the establishment of our global commercial leadership team as part of our growth strategy.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in 2012, resulting primarily from a $1.4 million increase in strategic investments in personnel and professional fees for our growth strategy, $0.9 million of incremental expense from the 2012 Acquisitions and $0.2 million in expenses related to the final transition costs associated with our former Chief Executive Officer.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

	2013		2012		$		%
Depreciation and amortization expense	$	1,073	$	242	$	831		343.4	%

Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of definite-lived intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in 2012. The increase primarily related to $0.6 million of amortization expense related to intangibles acquired from the 2012 Acquisitions.

Total	$	(1,884	)	$	2,780		$	(4,664	)		-167.8	%

Products. Products Division operating loss of $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $2.2 million compared to operating loss of $0.4 million during the corresponding period in 2012. The variance was primarily driven by a 7.5% decline in gross margin percentage on products that shipped during the first quarter of 2013 for our organic products business. This decline in gross margin percentage was impacted by unfavorable absorption from declining job flow and higher costs on discrete projects in our organic products business. Also impacting the variance was an additional $0.2 million of allocated costs from corporate headquarters due to higher overall costs discussed above. Partially offsetting this loss was $0.7 million of operating income contributed from the 2012 Acquisitions despite incurring $0.6 million of amortization expense related to the acquired intangible assets.

Services. Services Division operating income of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased $2.5 million or 79.2% compared to operating income of $3.1 million during the corresponding period in 2012. Operating margins were 0.9% and 4.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to $2.1 million of higher allocated corporate headquarters costs discussed above. Also impacting the decrease was a decline in gross profit of $0.2 million primarily due to higher margin capital project work in 2012 that did not recur.

Interest Expense, net

($ in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,				Variance
	2013		2012		$			%
Interest expense, net	$	86	$	1,181	$	(1,095	)		-92.7	%

Interest expense, net consists of interest on outstanding letters of credit, interest on our unused commitment and amortization of debt issuance costs offset by interest income earned on cash balances.

Interest expense, net decreased $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the corresponding period in 2012. The decrease was 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 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

($ in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,					Variance
	2013			2012		$			%
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(619	)	$	712	$	(1,331	)		-186.9	%

Income tax (benefit) 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 March 31, 2013, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million, or 34.0% of pretax loss, compared to $0.7 million of income tax expense, or 44.4% of pretax income, in the same period for 2012. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in permanent nondeductible expenses and the expected realization of foreign tax credits. The effective tax rates in 2013 and 2012 differ from the statutory rate due to U.S. state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, and changes in uncertain tax benefit positions.

As of March 31, 2013, we would need to generate approximately $104.2 million of future financial taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.

Loss from discontinued operations	$	(40	)	$	(67	)	$	27		-40.3	%

Loss from discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were fully comprised of the Deltak business unit, divested on August 31, 2011. The loss from operations in 2013 and 2012 consisted primarily of trailing costs from in process or under warranty contracts and litigation expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of March 31, 2013, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $36.5 million, comprised of $10.0 million of U.S. cash and $26.5 million of non-U.S. cash. The increase in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.5 million from December 31, 2012, was impacted by the following activity:

• We spent $1.5 million of cash on dividends.

• We received $7.5 million of cash from working capital as compared to $5.6 million spent in 2012.

In addition to our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, the amount available under our $100 million credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) as of March 31, 2013 was $88.2 million. Our ability to access the maximum amount of availability is dependent upon certain conditions as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility agreement.

22

Cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility represent our primary sources of short-term liquidity. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and our available borrowings will be adequate to satisfy our working capital needs, general corporate headquarters 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 U.S. or non-U.S. cash on hand or may borrow against our Revolving Credit Facility to support growth initiatives either organically or through additional acquisitions of complementary businesses.

Included in our total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was approximately $26.5 million maintained in our non-U.S. operations and subsidiaries. In general, these resources are not available to fund our U.S. operations unless the funds are repatriated to the U.S., which would expose us to taxes we presently have not accrued in our results of operations. We presently have no plans to repatriate these funds to the U.S. as we believe the liquidity generated by our U.S. operations and our unused borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet the cash requirements of our U.S. operations.

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 Revolving 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 Revolving 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.

Dividend and Stock Repurchases

In May 2012, our Board of Directors approved a dividend policy related to our common stock. The dividends declared and paid during the first quarter of 2013 were $0.09 per share or $1.5 million. We anticipate the cash used for future dividends and the repurchase program will come from current U.S. cash and from cash generated from U.S. operating activities. The timing and amounts of any future dividends are subject to determination and approval by our Board of Directors.

Since May 2012, we have had a share repurchase 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. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we made no share repurchases under the repurchase program. As of March 31, 2013, we had 1,578,269 shares remaining to be repurchased under the current authorization.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows ($ in thousands):

2013 as compared to 2012

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $8.5 million and was primarily impacted by the following:

• Net loss of $1.2 million, adjusted by non-cash expenses of $1.6 million for stock-based compensation and $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization on plant, property and equipment and intangible assets. This was partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in net deferred income taxes.

23

• Net accounts receivable decreased by $12.1 million increasing operating cash flows. This change included a decrease in accounts receivable from our Products Division offset by an increase in accounts receivable from our Services Division.

• A decrease in cash due to a total of $0.9 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 December 31, 2012. This change was primarily driven by a higher level of project activity in our Products Division and also impacted by the timing of billings in our Services Division.

• A decrease in cash from accounts payable of $6.4 million primarily driven by the Products Division as payables as of December 31, 2012 were incurred related to the large volume of projects in progress during the period.

• An increase in cash of $3.6 million for accrued and other liabilities primarily due to month-end payroll cut off dates.

Cash flows used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.8 million and were primarily impacted by the following:

• Net income of $0.8 million, adjusted by non-cash expenses of $1.7 million for stock-based compensation and $1.1 million of amortization of deferred financing costs.

• Net accounts receivable decreased by $4.7 million contributing higher operating cash flows. This change included decreases in accounts receivable from both our Products and Services Divisions as project billings were collected.

• An increase in cash due to a $10.6 million reduction of 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 December 31, 2011. This change was primarily driven by a higher level of project activity in our Products Division and also impacted by the timing of billings in our Services Division.

• A decrease in cash of $2.6 million from accounts payable due to the unfavorable timing of disbursements. This was primarily driven by the Products Division as payables as of March 31, 2012 were incurred related to the large volume of projects in progress during the period.

• An increase in cash from the change in accrued and other liabilities of $3.0 million primarily due to month-end payroll cut off dates and accruals related to the Products Division enterprise resource planning system conversion.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities of $0.8 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, consisted of purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities of $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted primarily of cash expenditures of $1.5 million related to cash dividends paid in the first quarter of 2013 and $0.6 million of cash paid for the repurchase of stock-based awards for payment of statutory taxes due on stock-based compensation.

Cash flows used in financing activities of $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted primarily of cash expenditures of $1.0 million for the repurchase of stock-based awards for payment of statutory taxes due on stock-based compensation and $0.9 million of debt issuance costs.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

The effect of exchange rate changes decreased cash by $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013. The effect of exchange rate changes increased cash by $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily driven by the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012.

Discontinued Operations

Cash flows used in discontinued operations operating activities were $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

24

Financing

Credit Facilities. Our Revolving 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 Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 21, 2017. As of March 31, 2013, we had no debt outstanding and we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving 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 the following two financial covenants:

• Our maximum consolidated leverage ratio cannot exceed specified limits. For these purposes, our consolidated leverage ratio on any date is the ratio of our consolidated funded indebtedness to our consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent quarters. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, net of interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

• Our consolidated interest coverage ratio must be maintained at least at specified minimum levels. For these purposes, our consolidated interest coverage ratio is the ratio of (a) our consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent quarters to (b) our consolidated interest expense (consisting of all Global Power interest) for that period.

We will be in default under the Revolving Credit Facility if we:

• fail to comply with any of these financial covenants;

• fail to comply with certain other customary affirmative or negative covenants;

• fail to make payments when due;

• experience a change of control; or

• become subject to insolvency proceedings.

For these purposes, a change of control will occur if any one person or group obtains control of more than 25% ownership, unless they were an investor on February 21, 2012 in which case the ownership percentage would need to be more than 40% for a change of control to occur, or if continuing directors cease to constitute at least a majority of the members of our Board of Directors.

If we default, the participating banks may restrict our ability to borrow additional funds under the Revolving 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 U.S. real property as security for the Revolving 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.

On April 30, 2013, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hetsco Holdings, Inc. as described in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. The aggregate consideration paid consisted of $32.5 million funded using cash on hand and a $30.0 million draw on our Revolving Credit Facility, subject to working capital adjustments. On May 8, 2013, we made a $5.0 million repayment against the amounts drawn on our Revolving Credit Facility for the acquisition. As of May 8, 2013, we had $25.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and up to $62.1 million of available borrowing capacity. Our ability to access the maximum amount of availability is dependent upon certain conditions as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility agreement.

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.

25

As of March 31, 2013, we had a contingent liability for issued and outstanding stand-by letters of credit, generally issued to secure performance on customer contracts. The balance of letters of credit totaled approximately $11.8 million for the U.S. entities and $9.8 million for non-U.S. entities as of March 31, 2013. Currently, there are no amounts drawn upon these letters of credit. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we had outstanding surety bonds on projects of approximately $36.9 million. Our subsidiaries provide financial guarantees for certain contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2013, we had $7.8 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 7, 2013, 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 three months of 2013.

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 7, 2013.

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 non-U.S. 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 months ended March 31, 2013. 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 have from time-to-time used a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rates. We did not enter into any such instruments as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We are subject to interest rate changes on our LIBOR-based variable interest under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. Based on the absence of any borrowings as of March 31, 2013, 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 March 31, 2013. 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

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Business and Organization [Abstract]

BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

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 and control houses for customers throughout the world. Through our Services Division, we provide on-site specialty modification and maintenance services, outage management, facility upgrade services, specialty maintenance and other industrial services to nuclear, fossil-fuel and hydroelectric power plants and other industrial operations in the United States (“U.S.”). Our corporate headquarters are located in Irving, Texas, with various facilities around the U.S. and internationally in The Netherlands, Mexico and China.

Effective as of January 1, 2013, our Board of Directors determined to change from a traditional month-end calendar close cycle to a 4-4-5 calendar close methodology during interim periods. Our fiscal year will continue to end on December 31. Under this new methodology, each interim period is comprised of 13 weeks, which includes two 4-week months and one 5-week month, and begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. The 4-4-5 close methodology will change the accounting periods to month-end dates that would be different than the traditional last day of the standard month end. This change in methodology aligns our financial calendar to our payroll cycle simplifying our close process. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist within a reporting year. The reporting periods and applicable reports for the year 2013 are expected to be as follows:

Fiscal Period	Reporting Period	Report to be Filed
First quarter of fiscal 2013	January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Second quarter of fiscal 2013	April 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Third quarter of fiscal 2013	July 1, 2013 to September 29, 2013	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Fourth quarter of fiscal 2013	September 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013	Annual Report on Form 10-K

In the third quarter of 2012, we acquired two businesses (“2012 Acquisitions”) which expanded our products portfolio. The financial results of the 2012 Acquisitions have been included in our Products Division as of their respective acquisition dates.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

We follow ASC 280—Segment Reporting, to present segment information. We considered the way our management team, most notably our chief operating decision maker, makes operating decisions and assesses performance and considered which components of our enterprise have discrete financial information available. As management makes decisions using a products and services group focus, our analysis resulted in two reportable segments, the Products Division and the Services Division.

The following tables present information about segment income:

	Products Division						Services Division				Total
	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31,

Corporate headquarters assets consist primarily of cash and deferred tax assets.

The following presents the Products Division revenue by geographical region based on our operating locations. Products are often shipped to other geographical areas but revenue is listed in the region in which the revenue is recognized. We have made reclassifications to the product shipped to amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily for allocations of sales discounts.

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES

The overall effective income tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Effective income tax rate		34.0	%		44.4	%

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.

As of March 31, 2013, we would need to generate approximately $104.2 million of future financial taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.

As of both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we provided for a liability of $4.2 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 March 31, 2013, we have accrued approximately $2.2 million in other long-term liabilities for potential payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

(Loss) Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

(LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 3 – (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per common share is net (loss) income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) 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 (loss) earnings per common share are calculated as follows:

Excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted (loss) earnings per common share are unvested performance-based restricted stock awards for which performance targets had not been set by the Board of Directors of 60,370 and 156,192 as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 30, 2013, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hetsco Holdings, Inc. (“Hetsco”), the parent company of Hetsco, Inc. a global provider of mission critical brazed aluminum heat exchanger repair, maintenance and safety services to the industrial gas, liquefied natural gas and petrochemical industries. The aggregate consideration paid consisted of $32.5 million funded using cash on hand and a $30.0 million draw on our Revolving Credit Facility, subject to working capital adjustments. As this transaction was effective April 30, 2013, the results of Hetsco will be included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on such date. We believe that the addition of Hetsco’s lifecycle services will broaden our reach into the industrial gas and oil and gas end markets and that Hetsco’s highly-skilled welders will bolster the Services Division capabilities for current utility customers. Hetsco’s financial results will be included in our Services Division business segment. On May 8, 2013, we made a $5.0 million repayment against the amounts drawn on our Revolving Credit Facility for the acquisition. As of May 8, 2013, we had $25.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and up to $62.1million of available borrowing capacity.

On May 8, 2013, 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 June 14, 2013 to be paid on or about June 28, 2013.

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Dividends: In May 2012, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend policy. On March 5, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.09 per share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 18, 2013. The Company paid $1.5 million in conjunction with this dividend on March 29, 2013. The terms of our Revolving Credit Facility limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay and such terms are defined in the Revolving Credit Facility agreement.

Dividend equivalents equal to the dividends payable on the same number of shares of our common stock were accrued on unvested restricted stock awards. No dividend equivalents are paid on any unvested restricted stock awards that are forfeited prior to the vesting date. Dividend equivalents are paid out in cash at the vesting date on restricted stock awards. A non-cash accrual of $0.2 million for unpaid dividend equivalents for unvested restricted stock awards was included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. In addition, accumulated dividend equivalents of $0.1 million were payable upon the vesting of 288,392 shares of restricted stock awards in the first quarter of 2013.

Stock Repurchase Program: 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. We made no share repurchases of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013 under the repurchase program.

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. We had foreign currency translation adjustments resulting in $0.8 million of unrealized losses and $1.1 million of unrealized gains during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our foreign earnings are considered permanently reinvested and, therefore, we do not have any corresponding deferred taxes for our unremitted earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation: During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we vested 288,392 shares of stock-based compensation to employees and recorded a $0.9 million non-cash accrual related to the payment of statutory taxes due on the awards that was unpaid as of March 31, 2013.

We granted 98,653 shares of restricted stock awards subject only to service conditions to employees and directors during the three months ended March 31, 2013 at a weighted-average fair value price per share of $17.21. These service-based restricted stock awards will vest ratably over three or four years.

We also granted 156,687 restricted stock awards subject to service and performance conditions during the three months ended March 31, 2013 at a weighted-average fair value price per share of $17.32. Of these, 87,572 performance-based restricted stock awards will vest at the end of a one year performance period subject to multiple target levels of operating income. The remaining 69,115 performance-based restricted stock awards will cliff vest at the end of a three year performance period subject to multiple target levels of operating margin. If the minimum target set in the agreement is not met, none of the shares would vest and no compensation expense would be recognized and any previously recognized compensation expense would be reversed. The actual number of shares that will ultimately vest is dependent on achieving fixed thresholds between the minimum and maximum performance condition and ranges between 0% and 200% the number of units originally granted. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to performance awards based upon our determination of the potential likelihood of achievement of the performance target at each reporting date, net of estimated forfeitures.

We also granted 69,081 market-based restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2013 which, in addition to being subject to continuing employment requirements are subject to a market condition in the form of a total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier. The actual number of shares that cliff vest at the end of the three-year vesting period is determined based on our TSR relative to the Russell 2000 over the related three-year performance period. Depending on the level of achievement, the actual number of shares that vest may range from 0% to 200% of the awards originally granted.

We estimate the fair value of our market-based restricted stock awards on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. This pricing model uses multiple simulations to evaluate our probability of achieving various stock price levels to determine our expected TSR performance ranking. Expense is only recorded for the number of market-based restricted stock awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of market-based restricted stock awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended

Expected term (years)		2.76

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims: We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings 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. Moreover, during 2012, we secured insurance coverage that will help to reimburse the defense costs and potential indemnity obligations of our former operating unit relating to these claims. 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 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, 2012 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2013.

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.

Discontinued Operations Presentation: In August 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of our Deltak L.L.C. business unit. The following notes relate to our continuing operations only unless otherwise noted.

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 and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 requires disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on the respective line items of net income. The adoption of this standard in February 2013 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, and there was no material impact to our financial statement disclosures.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters: Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 provides updated guidance to clarify the applicable guidance for a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

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, 2012 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2013.

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

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.

Discontinued Operations Presentation

Discontinued Operations Presentation: In August 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of our Deltak L.L.C. business unit. The following notes relate to our continuing operations only unless otherwise noted.

Dollar Amounts

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 and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 requires disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on the respective line items of net income. The adoption of this standard in February 2013 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, and there was no material impact to our financial statement disclosures.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters: Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 provides updated guidance to clarify the applicable guidance for a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

Segment Reporting

We follow ASC 280—Segment Reporting, to present segment information. We considered the way our management team, most notably our chief operating decision maker, makes operating decisions and assesses performance and considered which components of our enterprise have discrete financial information available. As management makes decisions using a products and services group focus, our analysis resulted in two reportable segments, the Products Division and the Services Division.
