UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introduction

On November 2, 2018, IEA Energy Services LLC (“IEA”), a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (the “Company”), completed its previously announced acquisition (the “William Charles Acquisition”) of William Charles Construction Group, including Ragnar Benson, consisting of substantially all the assets of William Charles, Ltd. and the capital stock of William Charles Purchasing, Inc. (such entities, collectively, “William Charles”), pursuant to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, dated October 12, 2018 (the “Agreement”), by and among IEA, William Charles and the owners thereof.
    
The aggregate amount of the consideration payable pursuant to the Agreement was approximately $85.6 million of cash less $13.4 million of debt assumed and 477,621 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company funded the $72.2 million cash portion of the acquisition consideration, payoff of the assumed debt and certain costs associated with the acquisition through borrowings under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a draw on the term loan of $100.0 million.

The foregoing description of the Equity Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Purchase Agreement, which was Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Company on November 2, 2018 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

On September 25, 2018, IEA, a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of the Company, completed its previously announced acquisition (the “CCS Acquisition,” and together with the William Charles Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”) of Consolidated Construction Solutions I LLC (“CCS I”) pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of August 9, 2018 by and among IEA, CCS I and Consolidated Construction Investment Holdings LLC, as seller.

The aggregate amount of the consideration payable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was approximately $145.0 million less $37.7 million of net debt assumed, $11.5 million of transaction expenses and offset by a net working capital adjustment of $10.8 million. The Company funded the CCS Acquisition consideration of $106.6 million, payoff of assumed debt, payoff of the Company's previous Credit Facility and certain costs associated with the acquisition through borrowings under its Credit Agreement dated September 25, 2018, with a draw on the term loan of $200.0 million and a draw on the revolving credit facility of $20.5 million .

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Company on August 14, 2018 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of the Company, CCS I and William Charles after giving effect to the Acquisitions, and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The Company did not acquire the equity interests of William Charles, Ltd. The Company acquired certain subsidiaries of that entity that comprised substantially all the assets of such entity. As described in Note 3 below, certain assets and liabilities of William Charles were not assumed. In addition, the Company acquired certain additional assets from entities affiliated with William Charles, Ltd. not reflected in the historical financial statements of William Charles. Adjustments to reflect assets and liabilities assumed are reflected under the column “Adjustment to William Charles Purchased Assets.”

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, is presented as if the purchase had occurred on June 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and the year ended December 31, 2017 are presented as if the Acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2017, with recurring acquisition-related adjustments reflected assuming the Acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year presented and carried forward through any interim period presented, with such adjustments described in the accompanying notes.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma combined financial data to give effect to pro forma events that are, based upon available information and certain assumptions, (i) directly attributable to the Acquisitions, (ii) factually supportable under the circumstances, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.





The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of or intended to represent the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. For example, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies or associated cost savings that we may achieve or additional costs we may incur with respect to the combined companies.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 30, 2018, (ii) the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, (iii) William Charles Ltd. and William Charles Purchasing, Inc. audited combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and accompanying notes included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, and (iv) William Charles Ltd. and William Charles Purchasing, Inc. unaudited combined condensed financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and accompanying notes included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The tables below represent the purchase consideration and the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed estimated as of the acquisition date for William Charles and estimated as of September 30, 2018 for CCS. The preliminary estimated fair values have been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma combined financial statements. The final determination of fair value for certain assets and liabilities will be completed as soon as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, which may differ materially from the preliminary estimates used in the pro forma adjustments. The primary areas of the preliminary estimates that are not yet finalized relate to property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, contract assets and liabilities, deferred income taxes, uncertain tax positions, and the fair value of certain contractual obligations.

Note 3. Acquisition Adjustments

The acquisition adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements due to the Company not acquiring certain subsidiaries of William Charles, Ltd. and acquiring additional equipment from other affiliated entities:





•
The Company did not acquire certain real estate assets and liabilities of William Charles, Ltd. and therefore amounts were removed from the balance sheet as acquisition adjustments for $12.7 million

•
The Company acquired certain equipment and quarries that were not historically owned by William Charles, Ltd. These assets are reflected as acquisition adjustments in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million.

•
The Company did not acquire certain costs associated with other entities in William Charles, Ltd. and therefore $0.6 million and $0.5 million were removed from the statement of operations as acquisition adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 4. Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements:

(a) To record approximately $320.5 million of borrowings under the Company's Credit Agreement to finance the Acquisitions, consisting of the following:

(f) Reflects the elimination of CCS I pre-existing intangible assets and recognition of the estimated preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired for CCS I and William Charles. To determine the estimated fair value of intangibles acquired, we engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist management. Our valuation estimates are preliminary and subject to change. The estimated preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired is comprised of the following (in thousands):

The customer relationships were valued utilizing the “excess earnings method” of the income approach. The estimated discounted cash flows associated with existing customers and projects were based on historical and market participant data. Such discounted cash flows were net of fair market returns on the various tangible and intangible assets that are necessary to realize the potential cash flows.

The fair value of backlog was determined using a discounted “income approach” model. The estimated discounted cash flows were based on expected future revenues for contracts already awarded and include considerations of both contracted margins and expected margins expected to be achieved over the remaining life of these contracts. 





The fair value of the tradename was determined based on the “relief from royalty” method of the income approach. The discounted cash flows were estimated using a royalty rate selected based on consideration of several factors, including external research of third party trade name licensing agreements and their royalty rate levels, and management estimates.

(g) To record goodwill as a result of the acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but is assessed at least annually for impairment or when a change in facts and circumstances prompts an assessment. Based on the current tax treatment a portion of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

(h) To record preliminary tax adjustments related to CCS I, resulting in a net decrease in deferred tax assets of $6.4 million.

The preliminary $6.4 million net decrease in deferred tax assets from CCS I is primarily due to deferred tax liabilities on a fair market value step up on fixed assets and intangibles including those acquired from CCS I partially offset by a deferred tax assets on CCS I's pre- acquisition tax losses.

(i) To record approximately $12.6 million of the Company and CCS I transaction costs associated with the acquisition, consisting of adviser fees of $6.1 million and $6.5 million change in control payments/bonuses to certain CCS I employees. These fees are recorded against retained earnings solely for the purposes of this presentation. There is no continuing impact of these one-time transaction costs on the combined operating results and, as such, these fees are not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.

To record approximately $1.9 million of William Charles transaction costs associated with the acquisition, consisting of adviser fees of $1.9 million. These fees are recorded against retained earnings solely for the purposes of this presentation. There is no continuing impact of these one-time transaction costs on the combined operating results and, as such, these fees are not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.

(j) Represents the elimination of nonrecurring transaction costs incurred by CCS I and William Charles during the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

(k) To record the income tax effect as a result of the transaction, calculated using our statutory rate of 25.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 45.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

(l) See footnote 2 for explanation of purchase accounting allocation.

(m) To record the issuance of 477,621 shares as part of the purchase consideration for William Charles. The shares were calculated on the closing date using the following methodology: $5,000,000 divided by $10.47, which was calculated as the arithmetic average of the daily VWAP of our Common Stock for the 30 trading days ending on the third trading day preceding the closing date. “VWAP” means the volume-weighted average price per share as reported under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg Page ticker “IEA US” (or its equivalent successor page if such page is not available) in respect of the normal trading day period.

(n) See footnote 3 for explanation of Acquisition Adjustments.

(o) To reflect the elimination of historical equity accounts of CCS I and William Charles.

(p) Reflects the incremental interest expense that would have been incurred during the historical periods presented assuming
the Acquisitions and the incurrence of the new debt had occurred as of January 1, 2017. Debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the Acquisitions have been amortized over the term of the respective debt instrument for the purposes of calculating the net pro forma adjustment to interest expense. The interest expense calculated below was assuming all company debt outstanding after the November 2nd closing of William Charles at libor plus 625 basis points.
