CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Reporting for Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the SEC.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC.

Unless otherwise indicated, all balances within tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

2. New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards adopted in Fiscal 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases,” which, together with its related clarifying ASUs, provides revised guidance for lease accounting and related disclosure requirements and establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Under the guidance, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method which was applied to leases that existed or were entered into on or after January 1, 2019.  The Company elected to utilize the package of practical expedients that allows us to 1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, 2) retain the existing classification of lease contracts as of the date of adoption, and 3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also elected to not separate lease and non-lease components, for all leases. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of ROU assets and liabilities for our operating leases totaling $13.3 million, as well as an adjustment to beginning equity of $4.6 million, net of tax, related to prior sales lease back transaction. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our statement of income or liquidity. See Note 12 – Leases for disclosures related to the amended guidance.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This guidance expands an entity’s ability to apply hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and allows for a simplified approach for fair value hedging of interest rate risk. Additionally, this ASU eliminates the need to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and applied the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings as of the effective date. The impact of the adoption of this ASU was not material.

7

Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” that makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The new guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and requires new ones that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU 2018-14 is effective for the Company January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-14 on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Accounts Receivable

Total accounts receivable	$	72,963		$	53,225

Balances billed but not paid by customers under retainage provisions in contracts within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets amounted to approximately $0.9 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Retainage receivables on contracts in progress are generally collected within a year after contract completion.

Bad debt expense was $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

4. Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

Our contracts have various lengths to completion ranging from a few days to several months. We anticipate that a majority of our current contracts will be completed within the next twelve months. A significant amount of our revenue within the Energy Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments is recognized over a period of time as we perform under the contract because control of the work in process transfers continuously to the customer. The assets and liabilities recognized in association with these contracts are as follows:

(table only in thousands)	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts	$	193,393		$	174,168
Estimated earnings		76,693			67,427
Total costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, gross		270,086			241,595

Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts		(23,596	)		(20,144	)
Total costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, net	$	8,105		$	9,550

Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes to job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to contract revenue and costs, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are made. No provision for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts was required as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets was $2.2 million and $2.6 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization over the next five years for finite life intangibles is expected to be $6.3 million for the remainder of 2019, $6.8 million in 2020, $5.7 million in 2021, $4.8 million in 2022, and $4.0 million in 2023.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company reassessed the useful lives of certain tradenames and determined that $3.9 million of their tradenames would have useful lives of 10 years now versus indefinite. The Company did not identify any triggering events during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 that would require an interim impairment assessment of goodwill or intangible assets.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $27.4 million and $29.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding, respectively. Total unused credit availability under the Company’s senior secured term loan, senior secured U.S. dollar revolving loans with sub-facilities for letters of credit and swing-line loans and senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility for U.S. dollar and specific foreign currency loans (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) was $52.6 million and $50.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until September 3, 2020, at which time all outstanding balances of the Credit Facility must be repaid.

The weighted average stated interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 5.25% and 5.27% at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

In accordance with the Credit Facility terms, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge against interest rate exposure related to a portion of the outstanding debt indexed to LIBOR market rates.  The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset of $0.3 million and $0.5 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and is classified within the “Deferred charges and other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company designated the interest rate swap as an effective hedge; therefore, the changes to the fair value of the interest rate swap have been recorded in other comprehensive income as the hedge is deemed effective.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a Consolidated Leverage Ratio as well as restricting the amount of capital expenditures the Company may make in 2019. Through March 31, 2019, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio is 3.75, after which time it will decrease to 3.50 through September 30, 2019. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio will then decrease to 3.25 until the end of the term of the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

Foreign Debt

The Company has a number of facilities and bilateral agreements in various countries currently supported by letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility.  In addition, a subsidiary of the Company located in the Netherlands has a Euro-denominated bank guarantee agreement, under which $3.1 million in bank guarantees were outstanding as of March 31,2019.  As of March 31, 2019, the borrowers of these facilities and agreements were in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants.   

9. Earnings and Dividends per Share

The computational components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are below.

	For the three month period ended March 31,
	2019		2018
(Table only in thousands) Numerator (for basic and diluted earnings per share)
Net income	$	1,864	$	5,763
Denominator
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding		34,836		34,593
Common stock equivalents arising from stock options and restricted stock awards		524		48
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding		35,360		34,641

Options and restricted stock units included in the computation of diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 0.5 million and 0.6 million respectively, of outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their having an anti-dilutive effect.

Once a restricted stock unit vests, it is included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share.

10. Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for share-based awards, measured at the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Company recognized $0.8 million and $0.6 million of share compensation related expense during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company granted zero options during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company granted approximately 400,000 and 20,000 restricted stock units during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The weighted-average fair value of restricted stock units was estimated at $7.24 and $4.27 per unit granted during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The fair value of the restricted stock units was determined by using the value of stock in the open market on the date of grant.  

The fair value of the stock-based awards granted is recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the awards.

There were zero and approximately 2,000 options exercised during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The Company received zero and $4,000 in cash from employees exercising options during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was zero and $6,000, respectively.

11. Pension and Employee Benefit Plans

We sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain union employees. The plan is funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for office employees retired before January 1, 1990. The plan allowed retirees who attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired.

11

We present service cost within cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses depending on where the relevant employees compensation costs are recorded, and we present other components of net periodic benefit cost (gain) within other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Retirement and health care plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the expense consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(table only in thousands)	2019			2018
Pension plan:
Service cost	$	—		$	97
Interest cost		326			298
Expected return on plan assets		(313	)		(476	)
Amortization of net actuarial loss		65			59
Net periodic benefit cost (gain)	$	78		$	(22	)
Health care plan:
Interest cost	$	1		$	1
Amortization of loss		2			2
Net periodic benefit cost	$	3		$	3

We made contributions to our defined benefit plans during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaling $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. We anticipate $0.4 million and $24,000 of further contributions to fund the pension plan and the retiree health care plan, respectively, during the remainder of 2019. The unfunded liability of the plans of $8.8 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is included in Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

12. Leases

Our leasing activity is primarily related to buildings used for manufacturing, warehousing, sales, and administrative activities.  We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Many of our lease agreements contain renewal options; however, we do not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it is determined that we are reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurs. Some of our lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses, free-rent periods, or other lease concessions. We recognize our minimum rental expense on a straight-line basis based on the fixed components of a lease arrangement. Variable lease costs represent amounts that are not fixed in nature and are not tied to an index or rate, and are recognized as incurred. Our variable lease costs are not material.

In determining our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, we apply a discount rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASU 2016-02 requires us to use the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. When we cannot readily determine the discount rate implicit in the lease agreement, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate. To estimate our specific incremental borrowing rates we consider, among other factors, interest rates on our existing credit facilities, risk-free rates, the types of assets being leased, and the term of the leases.

Total	$	10,139

13. Income Taxes

We file income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. Tax years from 2014 forward remain open for examination by Federal authorities. Tax years from 2013 forward remain open for all significant state and foreign authorities.

We account for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which is included in Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, in income tax expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Certain of the Company’s undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested. Since foreign earnings have already been subject to U.S. income tax in 2017 as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), we intend to repatriate foreign-held cash as needed.  As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have recorded deferred income taxes of approximately $0.6 million on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. This amount is attributable primarily to the foreign withholding taxes that would become payable should we decide to repatriate cash held in our foreign operations.

Income tax expense was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared with income tax expense of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2018. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 31.1%, compared with 41.6% for first quarter of 2018.  The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 is higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to state income taxes and unrecognized tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. The comparable period effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate most significantly due to a permanent book-tax difference related to the accounting treatment of goodwill on 2018 divestitures. Our effective tax rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation, the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income deduction, tax credits, and differences in tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

14

14. Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, foreign debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, due to their short-term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates.

The fair value of the debt issued under the Credit Facility was $76.1 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  The fair value of the note payable was $1.7 million at December 31, 2018.

In accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on December 30, 2015 to hedge against interest rate exposure related to a portion of the outstanding debt indexed to LIBOR market rates. See Note 8 for further information regarding the interest rate swap.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $28.2 million and $43.7 million, respectively, of which $25.4 million and $23.3 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, China, and Canada.

15. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters

Asbestos cases

Our subsidiary, Met-Pro Technologies LLC (“Met-Pro”), beginning in 2002, began to be named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. In management’s opinion, the complaints typically have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that Met-Pro, along with the numerous other defendants, sold unidentified asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including death) and loss to the plaintiffs. Counsel has advised that more recent cases typically allege more serious claims of mesothelioma. The Company’s insurers have hired attorneys who, together with the Company, are vigorously defending these cases. Many cases have been dismissed after the plaintiff fails to produce evidence of exposure to Met-Pro’s products. In those cases, where evidence has been produced, the Company’s experience has been that the exposure levels are low and the Company’s position has been that its products were not a cause of death, injury or loss. The Company has been dismissed from or settled a large number of these cases. Cumulative settlement payments from 2002 through March 31, 2019 for cases involving asbestos-related claims were $2.9 million, of which, together with all legal fees other than corporate counsel expenses, $2.8 million has been paid by the Company’s insurers. The average cost per settled claim, excluding legal fees, was approximately $35,000.

Based upon the most recent information available to the Company regarding such claims, there were a total of 191 cases pending against the Company as of March 31, 2019 (with Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia having the largest number of cases), as compared with 208 cases that were pending as of December 31, 2018. During the three-months ended March 31, 2019, nine new cases were filed against the Company, and the Company was dismissed from 21 cases and settled five cases. Most of the pending cases have not advanced beyond the early stages of discovery, although a number of cases are on schedules leading to or scheduled for trial. The Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate for the cases currently pending against the Company and for the foreseeable future, assuming a continuation of the current volume, nature of cases and settlement amounts. However, the Company has no control over the number and nature of cases that are filed against it, nor as to the financial health of its insurers or their position as to coverage. The Company also presently believes that none of the pending cases will have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Summary

The Company is also a party to routine contract and employment-related litigation matters, warranty claims and routine audits of state and local tax returns arising in the ordinary course of its business.

The final outcome and impact of open matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. In accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies”, and related guidance, we record accruals for estimated losses relating to claims and lawsuits when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

We are not aware of any pending claims or assessments, other than as described above, which may have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

16. Business Segment Information

The Company’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines or end market that the segment serves and are presented in three reportable segments. The results of the segments are reviewed through to the “Income (loss) from operations” line on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the first quarter of 2019, as a result of further evaluating the Company’s operating structure, management determined that a realignment of the Company’s segments with current customer solutions we provide and end markets we serve would help maximize growth and improve customer experience. As a result of this minor realignment, the operating results of the reportable segments Fluid Handling Solutions and Industrial Solutions have been reclassified to have their results align for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company’s reportable segments are organized as groups of similar products and services, as described as follows:

Energy Solutions segment:  Our Energy Solutions segment serves the Energy market, where we are a key part of helping meet the global demand for Clean Energy with products and services that support our customers with efficient solutions and technologies to keep the world clean and safe.

17. Divestitures

Strobic Air Corporation

On March 30, 2018, the Company completed the sale of Strobic Air Corporation (“Strobic”) as part of its strategic decision to exit brands that do not align with the CECO portfolio to increase focus on better serving the energy and industrial solutions and fluid handling markets.  The sales price was $28.5 million, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. The disposition resulted in an estimated gain of $6.9 million recorded in the first quarter of 2018, comprised of $27.9 million of net proceeds received as consideration after estimated post-closing purchase price adjustments less net assets disposed of $18.8 million and transaction costs of $2.2 million.  The net assets disposed were primarily comprised of $13.0 million of goodwill, $2.3 million of definite-lived intangible assets and $1.2 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets allocated to the Strobic business. In the first quarter of 2018, Strobic reported $4.2 million in net sales and $1.1 million in income from operations.  Strobic results through the date of disposition are included within income before income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and are reported within the Fluid Handling Solutions segment. The sale of Strobic did not constitute a significant strategic shift that will have a material impact on the Company’s ongoing operations and financial results.

Keystone Filter

On February 28, 2018, the Company completed the sale of the Keystone Filter brand (“Keystone”) as part of its strategic decision to exit brands that do not align with the CECO portfolio to increase focus on better serving energy and industrial solutions and fluid handling markets. The sales price was $7.5 million, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. The disposition resulted in an estimated gain of $4.3 million recorded in the first quarter of 2018, comprised of $7.2 million of net proceeds received as consideration after estimated post-closing purchase price adjustments less net assets disposed of $2.7 million and transaction costs of $0.2 million. Keystone results are reported within the Fluid Handling Solutions segment through the date of disposition.

Zhongli

On November 27, 2018, the Company completed the sale of Jiangyin Zhongli Industrial Technology Co. Ltd (“Zhongli”), a business in our Energy Solutions segment operating in China for a price of $3.6 million.  In the third quarter of 2018, we classified the assets and liabilities of Zhongli as held-for-sale.  In connection with classifying this business as held-for-sale, GAAP required us to assess impairment by comparing the estimated selling price, less cost to sell to our carrying value in Zhongli.  Based on this analysis, we recorded a $15.1 million estimated loss. The disposal of this business does not constitute a significant strategic shift that will have a material impact on the Company’s ongoing operations and financial results.  In the first quarter of 2018, Zhongli reported net sales of $1.7 million.  Zhongli results are reported within the Energy Solutions segment through the date of disposition.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These GAAP financial statements include certain charges the Company believes are not indicative of its core ongoing operational performance.

As a result, the Company provides financial information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides this supplemental non-GAAP financial information because the Company’s management utilizes it to evaluate its ongoing financial performance and the Company believes it provides greater transparency to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results.

The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin as a result of items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations. These include transactions associated with the Company’s acquisitions, divestitures and the items described below in “Consolidated Results.” The Company believes that evaluation of its financial performance compared with prior and future periods can be enhanced by a presentation of results that exclude the impact of these items. The Company has incurred substantial expense and income associated with the acquisition and divestitures.  While the Company cannot predict the exact timing or amounts of such charges, it does expect to treat the financial impact of these transactions as special items in its future presentation of non-GAAP results.

To compare operating performance between the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has adjusted GAAP operating income to exclude (1) loss (gain) on divestitures, net of selling costs necessary to complete the divestiture such as legal, accounting and compliance, (2) amortization and contingent acquisition expenses, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles, retention, severance, and earnout expenses, and (3) restructuring expenses.  See “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. The following table presents the reconciliation of GAAP operating income and GAAP operating margin to non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin:

In 2018, we divested three non-core businesses; Keystone filter brand (“Keystone”) and Strobic Air Corporation (“Strobic”) in the first quarter and Jiangyin Zhongli Industrial Technology Co. Ltd. (“Zhongli”) in the fourth quarter (collectively, the “Divestitures”).  The exclusion of the operating results of the Divestitures subsequent to their disposition impacts the comparability of our consolidated and segment operating results.

Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2019 increased $11.9 million, or 16.0%, to $86.0 million compared with $74.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to volume growth, period over period, for the Company’s refinery-related products and midstream oil & gas markets, partially offset by the impact of Divestitures. Excluding the impact of Divestitures, sales increased $18.4 million, or 27.2%.

Gross profit increased $2.8 million, or 10.9%, to $28.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $25.6 million in the same period of 2018.  The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to sales volume increases period over period.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 33.0% in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 34.5% in the first quarter of 2018.

Orders booked were $97.3 million during the first quarter of 2019 as compared with $95.0 million during the first quarter of 2018.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased orders for scrubbers, period over period, partially offset by a reduction in orders for refinery-related products and the impact of Divestitures. Excluding the impact of the Divestitures, bookings increased $7.0 million.

Selling and administrative expenses were $21.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared with $21.6 million for the first quarter of 2018. Selling and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 24.7% in the first quarter of 2019 compared with 29.1% in the first quarter of 2018.  The decrease in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to the increase in sales.

Amortization and earnout expense was $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared with $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in expense is primarily attributable to a $0.3 million decrease in earn-out expense and a $0.4 million decrease in definite-lived intangible asset amortization.

Operating income decreased $7.3 million to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $12.2 million during the first quarter of 2018. The decrease is due to the gain on divestures, net of selling costs of $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, offset by the factors described above.  

Non-GAAP operating income was $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared with $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in non-GAAP operating income is primarily attributable to higher sales, which led to an increase in gross profit. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 8.4% for the first quarter of 2019 from 5.4% for the first quarter of 2018.

Interest expense decreased to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. The decrease is due to a reduced debt balance in 2019 in comparison to 2018, resulting in lower interest expense incurred.

20

Income tax expense was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared with income tax expense of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2018. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 31.1%, compared with 41.6% for first quarter of 2018.  The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 is higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to state income taxes and unrecognized tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. The comparable period effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate most significantly due to a permanent book-tax difference related to the accounting treatment of goodwill on 2018 divestitures. Our effective tax rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation, the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income deduction, tax credits, and differences in tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Business Segments

The Company’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines or end market that the segment serves and are presented in three reportable segments. The results of the segments are reviewed through “Income from operations” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

⁽²⁾ Includes (loss) gain on divestitures, net of selling costs, corporate compensation, professional services, information technology and other general and administrative corporate expenses.  This amount excludes earnout adjustments, which are recorded in the segment in which the adjustment occurs.  

Energy Solutions Segment

Our Energy Solutions segment net sales increased $15.2 million to $55.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $40.0 million in the same period of 2018. Excluding the divested division Zhongli, net sales increased $16.9 million in the first quarter 2019 from $38.3 million in the same period of 2018. The increase is due primarily to volume increases for the Company’s refinery related products and separation equipment serving the midstream oil & gas markets.

Operating income for the Energy Solutions segment increased $5.7 million to $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to income of $3.6 million in the same period of 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to increased sales in the first quarter of 2019.

Industrial Solutions Segment

Our Industrial Solutions segment net sales increased $0.5 million to $18.9 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase is due primarily to volume increases for the Company’s modular duct technologies.

Operating income for the segment decreased $0.6 million to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $0.3 million decrease in gross profit due to product mix and a $0.3 million increase in operating expenses.

21

Fluid Handling Solutions Segment

Our Fluid Handling Solutions segment net sales decreased $3.6 million to $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $15.6 million in the first quarter of 2018. The sales decrease was driven by $4.8 million of revenue from the 2018 divisions Keystone and Strobic recognized during the first quarter of 2018, which do not recur in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding the divested divisions, segment sales increased $1.2 million.

Operating income for the segment decreased $1.0 million to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease is attributable to the decrease in sales and operating income of $1.2 million from the divestitures of Keystone and Strobic. Excluding the divested divisions, segment operating income increased by $0.2 million.

Corporate and Other Segment

Operating expense for the Corporate and Other segment was $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared with operating income of $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2018.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to the recognition of an $11.2 million gain on the divestitures of Keystone and Strobic recorded in the first quarter of 2018, which did not recur in 2019.

Backlog

Backlog (i.e., unfulfilled or remaining performance obligations) represents the sales we expect to recognize for our products and services for which control has not yet transferred to the customer.  Our customers may have the right to cancel a given order, although historically cancellations have been rare. Our backlog as of March 31, 2019, was $193.8 million compared with $182.1 million as of December 31, 2018.  Backlog is adjusted on a quarterly basis for adjustments in foreign currency exchange rates. Backlog is not defined by GAAP and our methodology for calculating backlog may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies. There can be no assurances that backlog will be replicated, increased or translated into higher revenues in the future. The success of our business depends on a multitude of factors related to our backlog and the orders secured during the subsequent periods. Certain contracts are highly dependent on the work of contractors and other subcontractors participating in a project, over which we have no or limited control, and their performance on such project could have an adverse effect on the profitability of our contracts. Delays resulting from these contractors and subcontractors, changes in the scope of the project, weather, and labor availability also can have an effect on a contract’s profitability.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below). Our principal uses of cash are operating costs, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding debt, working capital and other corporate requirements.

When we undertake large jobs, our working capital objective is to make these projects self-funding. We work to achieve this by obtaining initial down payments, progress billing contracts, utilizing extended payment terms from material suppliers when possible, and paying sub-contractors after payment from our customers, which is an industry practice. Our investment in net working capital is funded by cash flow from operations and by our revolving line of credit.

At March 31, 2019, the Company had working capital of $61.0 million, compared with $57.0 million at December 31, 2018.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.59 to 1 on March 31, 2019, as compared with a ratio of 1.55 to 1 at December 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents totaled $28.2 million and $43.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $25.4 million and $23.3 million, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were held by certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as being denominated in foreign currencies.

Credit Facility

The Company’s outstanding borrowings in the United States consist of senior secured term loan, senior secured U.S. dollar revolving loans with sub-facilities for letters of credit and swing-line loans and senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility for U.S. dollar and specific foreign currency loans (collectively, the “Credit Facility”).  As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company’s debt facilities.

Operating Activities

For the three-months ended March 31, 2019, $13.7 million of cash was used in operating activities compared with $3.2 million provided by operating activities in the prior year period, a $16.9 million decrease. Net earnings adjusted for non-cash items decreased $12.8 million primarily due to a gain of $11.2 million on divestitures and the cash associated with which was recorded in investing activities (both occurred in the first quarter of 2018 but did not recur in 2019) and an increase of $1.2 million of deferred income tax expense. Cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter 2019 had a negative impact year-over-year primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  

Investing Activities

For the three-months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $30.3 million in the prior year period.  In the first three-months of 2019, cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of cash used for the acquisitions of property and equipment totaling $0.4 million. In the prior year period, cash provided by investing activities was primarily the result of cash proceeds from divestitures totaling $30.7 million and cash used for the acquisitions of property and equipment totaling $0.5 million.

Financing Activities

For the three-months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $1.8 million due principally to note payable repayments of $1.7 million. For the three-months ended March 31, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $30.6 million due principally to net term loan repayments of $28.2 million and $2.3 million in net revolving credit line repayments term loan repayments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, earnout liabilities, guarantee obligations and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, assumptions used in business combination accounting and related balances, and pension and post-retirement benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management monitors the economic conditions and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Management believes there have been no changes during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, other than disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects or future results of operations or financial position made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. We use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “will,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Potential risks, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully realize the expected benefits of our restructuring program; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize the synergies from acquisitions, as well as a number of factors related to our business, including economic and financial market conditions generally and economic conditions in CECO’s service areas; dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding estimates; fluctuations in operating results from period to period due to cyclicality or seasonality of the business; the effect of growth on CECO’s infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; the ability to expand operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation; liabilities arising from faulty services or products that could result in significant professional or product liability, warranty, or other claims; changes in or developments with

24

respect to any litigation or investigation; failure to meet timely completion or performance standards that could result in higher cost and reduced profits or, in some cases, losses on projects; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials, including as a result of tariffs and surcharges; the substantial amount of debt incurred in connection with our acquisitions and our ability to repay or refinance it or incur additional debt in the future; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; economic and political conditions generally; and the effect of competition in the Industrial Solutions segment, Energy Solutions segment and Fluid Handling Solutions segment industries. Many of these risks are beyond management’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the SEC, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. For the Company, these exposures are primarily related to changes in interest rates. We do not currently hold any derivatives or other financial instruments purely for trading or speculative purposes. However, we do have an interest rate swap in place as of March 31, 2019 to hedge against a portion of our interest rate exposure related to debt indexed to LIBOR market rates.  See Note 8 “Senior Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further information on this interest rate swap.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt was $76.1 million at March 31, 2019. Market risk was estimated as the potential decrease (increase) in future earnings and cash flows resulting from hypothetical 10% increase (decrease) in the Company’s estimated weighted average borrowing rate at March 31, 2019. Most of the interest on the Company’s debt is indexed to either the LIBOR or EURIBOR market rates. The estimated impact of a hypothetical 10% change in the estimated weighted average borrowing rate, excluding the portion of debt which has an interest rate fixed by the interest rate swap described above, at March 31, 2019 is $0.2 million on an annual basis.

The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries located in the Netherlands, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Mexico, United Kingdom, Singapore, and Chile. In the past, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure, and fluctuations in exchange rates have not materially affected our operating results. Future changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively impact our revenues, operating expenses and earnings.

ITEM  4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under 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 the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019.  Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

25

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Reporting for Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Reporting for Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the SEC.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC.

Unless otherwise indicated, all balances within tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

1. New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards adopted in Fiscal 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases,” which, together with its related clarifying ASUs, provides revised guidance for lease accounting and related disclosure requirements and establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Under the guidance, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method which was applied to leases that existed or were entered into on or after January 1, 2019.  The Company elected to utilize the package of practical expedients that allows us to 1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, 2) retain the existing classification of lease contracts as of the date of adoption, and 3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also elected to not separate lease and non-lease components, for all leases. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of ROU assets and liabilities for our operating leases totaling $13.3 million, as well as an adjustment to beginning equity of $4.6 million, net of tax, related to prior sales lease back transaction. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our statement of income or liquidity. See Note 12 – Leases for disclosures related to the amended guidance.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This guidance expands an entity’s ability to apply hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and allows for a simplified approach for fair value hedging of interest rate risk. Additionally, this ASU eliminates the need to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and applied the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings as of the effective date. The impact of the adoption of this ASU was not material.

Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” that makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The new guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and requires new ones that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU 2018-14 is effective for the Company January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-14 on its consolidated financial statements.

Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

4. Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

Our contracts have various lengths to completion ranging from a few days to several months. We anticipate that a majority of our current contracts will be completed within the next twelve months. A significant amount of our revenue within the Energy Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments is recognized over a period of time as we perform under the contract because control of the work in process transfers continuously to the customer. The assets and liabilities recognized in association with these contracts are as follows:

(table only in thousands)	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts	$	193,393		$	174,168

Total costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, net	$	8,105		$	9,550
Included in the accompanying condensed consolidated    balance sheets under the following captions:
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	$	31,701		$	29,694
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts		(23,596	)		(20,144	)
Total costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, net	$	8,105		$	9,550

Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes to job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to contract revenue and costs, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are made. No provision for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts was required as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company reassessed the useful lives of certain tradenames and determined that $3.9 million of their tradenames would have useful lives of 10 years now versus indefinite. The Company did not identify any triggering events during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 that would require an interim impairment assessment of goodwill or intangible assets.

- Unamortized debt discount		(1,422	)		(1,691	)
Total outstanding borrowings under Credit Facility	$	74,725		$	74,456

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company made no payments on the outstanding balance of the term loan. Due to the additional prepayments made in 2018, there are no payments due on the term loan until the final scheduled principal payment of $76.1 million, in September 2020.

United States Debt

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $27.4 million and $29.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding, respectively. Total unused credit availability under the Company’s senior secured term loan, senior secured U.S. dollar revolving loans with sub-facilities for letters of credit and swing-line loans and senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility for U.S. dollar and specific foreign currency loans (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) was $52.6 million and $50.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until September 3, 2020, at which time all outstanding balances of the Credit Facility must be repaid.

The weighted average stated interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 5.25% and 5.27% at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

In accordance with the Credit Facility terms, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge against interest rate exposure related to a portion of the outstanding debt indexed to LIBOR market rates.  The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset of $0.3 million and $0.5 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and is classified within the “Deferred charges and other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company designated the interest rate swap as an effective hedge; therefore, the changes to the fair value of the interest rate swap have been recorded in other comprehensive income as the hedge is deemed effective.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a Consolidated Leverage Ratio as well as restricting the amount of capital expenditures the Company may make in 2019. Through March 31, 2019, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio is 3.75, after which time it will decrease to 3.50 through September 30, 2019. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio will then decrease to 3.25 until the end of the term of the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

Foreign Debt

The Company has a number of facilities and bilateral agreements in various countries currently supported by letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility.  In addition, a subsidiary of the Company located in the Netherlands has a Euro-denominated bank guarantee agreement, under which $3.1 million in bank guarantees were outstanding as of March 31,2019.  As of March 31, 2019, the borrowers of these facilities and agreements were in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants.

Share-Based Compensation

10. Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for share-based awards, measured at the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Company recognized $0.8 million and $0.6 million of share compensation related expense during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company granted zero options during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company granted approximately 400,000 and 20,000 restricted stock units during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The weighted-average fair value of restricted stock units was estimated at $7.24 and $4.27 per unit granted during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The fair value of the restricted stock units was determined by using the value of stock in the open market on the date of grant.  

The fair value of the stock-based awards granted is recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the awards.

There were zero and approximately 2,000 options exercised during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The Company received zero and $4,000 in cash from employees exercising options during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was zero and $6,000, respectively.

We sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain union employees. The plan is funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for office employees retired before January 1, 1990. The plan allowed retirees who attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired.

We present service cost within cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses depending on where the relevant employees compensation costs are recorded, and we present other components of net periodic benefit cost (gain) within other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Retirement and health care plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the expense consisted of the following:

Leases

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

12. Leases

Our leasing activity is primarily related to buildings used for manufacturing, warehousing, sales, and administrative activities.  We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Many of our lease agreements contain renewal options; however, we do not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it is determined that we are reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurs. Some of our lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses, free-rent periods, or other lease concessions. We recognize our minimum rental expense on a straight-line basis based on the fixed components of a lease arrangement. Variable lease costs represent amounts that are not fixed in nature and are not tied to an index or rate, and are recognized as incurred. Our variable lease costs are not material.

In determining our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, we apply a discount rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASU 2016-02 requires us to use the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. When we cannot readily determine the discount rate implicit in the lease agreement, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate. To estimate our specific incremental borrowing rates we consider, among other factors, interest rates on our existing credit facilities, risk-free rates, the types of assets being leased, and the term of the leases.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Income Taxes

13. Income Taxes

We file income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. Tax years from 2014 forward remain open for examination by Federal authorities. Tax years from 2013 forward remain open for all significant state and foreign authorities.

We account for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which is included in Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, in income tax expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Certain of the Company’s undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested. Since foreign earnings have already been subject to U.S. income tax in 2017 as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), we intend to repatriate foreign-held cash as needed.  As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have recorded deferred income taxes of approximately $0.6 million on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. This amount is attributable primarily to the foreign withholding taxes that would become payable should we decide to repatriate cash held in our foreign operations.

Income tax expense was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared with income tax expense of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2018. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 31.1%, compared with 41.6% for first quarter of 2018.  The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 is higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to state income taxes and unrecognized tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. The comparable period effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate most significantly due to a permanent book-tax difference related to the accounting treatment of goodwill on 2018 divestitures. Our effective tax rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation, the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income deduction, tax credits, and differences in tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Our financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, foreign debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, due to their short-term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates.

The fair value of the debt issued under the Credit Facility was $76.1 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  The fair value of the note payable was $1.7 million at December 31, 2018.

In accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on December 30, 2015 to hedge against interest rate exposure related to a portion of the outstanding debt indexed to LIBOR market rates. See Note 8 for further information regarding the interest rate swap.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $28.2 million and $43.7 million, respectively, of which $25.4 million and $23.3 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, China, and Canada.

Asbestos cases

Our subsidiary, Met-Pro Technologies LLC (“Met-Pro”), beginning in 2002, began to be named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. In management’s opinion, the complaints typically have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that Met-Pro, along with the numerous other defendants, sold unidentified asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including death) and loss to the plaintiffs. Counsel has advised that more recent cases typically allege more serious claims of mesothelioma. The Company’s insurers have hired attorneys who, together with the Company, are vigorously defending these cases. Many cases have been dismissed after the plaintiff fails to produce evidence of exposure to Met-Pro’s products. In those cases, where evidence has been produced, the Company’s experience has been that the exposure levels are low and the Company’s position has been that its products were not a cause of death, injury or loss. The Company has been dismissed from or settled a large number of these cases. Cumulative settlement payments from 2002 through March 31, 2019 for cases involving asbestos-related claims were $2.9 million, of which, together with all legal fees other than corporate counsel expenses, $2.8 million has been paid by the Company’s insurers. The average cost per settled claim, excluding legal fees, was approximately $35,000.

Based upon the most recent information available to the Company regarding such claims, there were a total of 191 cases pending against the Company as of March 31, 2019 (with Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia having the largest number of cases), as compared with 208 cases that were pending as of December 31, 2018. During the three-months ended March 31, 2019, nine new cases were filed against the Company, and the Company was dismissed from 21 cases and settled five cases. Most of the pending cases have not advanced beyond the early stages of discovery, although a number of cases are on schedules leading to or scheduled for trial. The Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate for the cases currently pending against the Company and for the foreseeable future, assuming a continuation of the current volume, nature of cases and settlement amounts. However, the Company has no control over the number and nature of cases that are filed against it, nor as to the financial health of its insurers or their position as to coverage. The Company also presently believes that none of the pending cases will have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Summary

The Company is also a party to routine contract and employment-related litigation matters, warranty claims and routine audits of state and local tax returns arising in the ordinary course of its business.

The final outcome and impact of open matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. In accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies”, and related guidance, we record accruals for estimated losses relating to claims and lawsuits when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

We are not aware of any pending claims or assessments, other than as described above, which may have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Strobic Air Corporation

On March 30, 2018, the Company completed the sale of Strobic Air Corporation (“Strobic”) as part of its strategic decision to exit brands that do not align with the CECO portfolio to increase focus on better serving the energy and industrial solutions and fluid handling markets.  The sales price was $28.5 million, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. The disposition resulted in an estimated gain of $6.9 million recorded in the first quarter of 2018, comprised of $27.9 million of net proceeds received as consideration after estimated post-closing purchase price adjustments less net assets disposed of $18.8 million and transaction costs of $2.2 million.  The net assets disposed were primarily comprised of $13.0 million of goodwill, $2.3 million of definite-lived intangible assets and $1.2 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets allocated to the Strobic business. In the first quarter of 2018, Strobic reported $4.2 million in net sales and $1.1 million in income from operations.  Strobic results through the date of disposition are included within income before income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and are reported within the Fluid Handling Solutions segment. The sale of Strobic did not constitute a significant strategic shift that will have a material impact on the Company’s ongoing operations and financial results.

On November 27, 2018, the Company completed the sale of Jiangyin Zhongli Industrial Technology Co. Ltd (“Zhongli”), a business in our Energy Solutions segment operating in China for a price of $3.6 million.  In the third quarter of 2018, we classified the assets and liabilities of Zhongli as held-for-sale.  In connection with classifying this business as held-for-sale, GAAP required us to assess impairment by comparing the estimated selling price, less cost to sell to our carrying value in Zhongli.  Based on this analysis, we recorded a $15.1 million estimated loss. The disposal of this business does not constitute a significant strategic shift that will have a material impact on the Company’s ongoing operations and financial results.  In the first quarter of 2018, Zhongli reported net sales of $1.7 million.  Zhongli results are reported within the Energy Solutions segment through the date of disposition.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal 2019

Accounting Standards adopted in Fiscal 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases,” which, together with its related clarifying ASUs, provides revised guidance for lease accounting and related disclosure requirements and establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Under the guidance, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method which was applied to leases that existed or were entered into on or after January 1, 2019.  The Company elected to utilize the package of practical expedients that allows us to 1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, 2) retain the existing classification of lease contracts as of the date of adoption, and 3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also elected to not separate lease and non-lease components, for all leases. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of ROU assets and liabilities for our operating leases totaling $13.3 million, as well as an adjustment to beginning equity of $4.6 million, net of tax, related to prior sales lease back transaction. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our statement of income or liquidity. See Note 12 – Leases for disclosures related to the amended guidance.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This guidance expands an entity’s ability to apply hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and allows for a simplified approach for fair value hedging of interest rate risk. Additionally, this ASU eliminates the need to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and applied the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings as of the effective date. The impact of the adoption of this ASU was not material.

Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” that makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The new guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and requires new ones that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU 2018-14 is effective for the Company January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-14 on its consolidated financial statements.
