The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements. 3 7 OHM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by OHM Corporation (the "Company") and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact on the calculation of earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is not expected to be significant. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's 40% owned asbestos abatement affiliate, NSC Corporation ("NSC"), has been accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. See "Note 7 - Special Charges" regarding the Company's plans to divest its ownership of NSC and the related reduction of its carrying value. The consolidated financial statements at June 30, 1997, and for the three and six months then ended, have been reviewed, prior to filing, by Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent accountants, and their report is included herein. NOTE 2 - SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash paid for interest was $3,022,000 and $4,222,000 and cash paid for income taxes was $73,000 and $327,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION Effective June 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Beneco Enterprises, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Beneco"), for an aggregate purchase price of $14,700,000. The purchase price was paid as follows: (i) $9,700,000 (excluding the $2,068,000 of cash acquired as part of Beneco - net cash paid $7,092,000) in cash and (ii) unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate of $5,000,000, bearing interest at 7.25%, due and payable June 17, 1998. The Company has agreed to make an additional payment in 2000 contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results and other contractual conditions. Beneco is a provider of project, program and construction management services to the Department of Defense and other government agencies throughout the United States. The acquisition of Beneco has been accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill, have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of June 1, 1997. The Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 include the results of Beneco since June 1, 1997. The following table sets forth the unaudited combined pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, giving effect to the acquisition of Beneco as if such acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996. 4 8
Pro Forma Six Months Ended June 30, ------------------------------------- 1997 1996 ---- ---- (In Thousands, Except Per Share Data) Gross revenue .................................... $266,391 $ 277,399 Net (loss) income................................. $(31,133) $ 3,833 Net (loss) income per share....................... $ (1.15) $ 0.14
The actual purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired have not been finalized and, as a result, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and combined pro forma results of operations have been prepared on the basis of preliminary estimates of such adjustments. The combined pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are based upon certain assumptions and estimates which the Company believes are reasonable. The combined pro forma results of operations may not be indicative of the operating results that actually would have been reported had the transaction been consummated on January 1, 1996, nor are they necessarily indicative of results which will be reported in the future. NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES The reasons for differences between the provisions for income taxes and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes are as follows:

NOTE 5 - SEASONALITY The timing of revenue recognition is dependent on the Company's backlog, contract awards and the performance requirements of each contract. The Company's revenue is also affected by the timing of its clients' planned remediation work which generally increases during the third and fourth quarters. Because of this variability in demand, the Company's quarterly revenue can fluctuate, and revenue for the first and second quarters of each year can normally be expected to be lower than the third and fourth quarters. Although the Company believes that the historical trend in quarterly revenue for the third and fourth quarters of each year are generally higher than the first and second quarters, there can be no assurance that this will occur in future periods. Accordingly, quarterly or other interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for any quarter or for the full year. NOTE 6 - LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to a number of claims and litigation. These matters include the following items which were disclosed in the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Company has settled litigation that was pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana involving Citgo Petroleum Corporation ("Citgo"), Oxy USA Inc., and Occidental Oil & Gas (collectively "Oxy") relating to cost overruns and production shortfalls on a remediation project which was performed by the Company for Citgo at its Lake Charles Louisiana refinery during 1993 and 1994. Under the terms of the settlement Citgo and Oxy dismissed all claims against the Company related to this matter and the Company dismissed all claims against Citgo and Oxy related to this matter. In addition, the Company received a cash payment of $14,346,000. The Company reduced the amount of its account receivables by the amount such receivables exceeded the payments received (see "Note 7 - Special Charges"). 5 9 The Company is in litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York with Occidental Chemical Corporation ("Occidental") relating to the Durez Inlet Project performed in 1993 and 1994 for Occidental in North Tonawanda, New York. The Company's account receivables at June 30, 1997 include a claim receivable of $8,651,000 related to this matter. The Company's work was substantially delayed and its costs of performance were substantially increased as a result of conditions at the site that the Company believes were materially different than as represented by Occidental. Occidental's amended complaint seeks $8,806,000 in damages primarily for alleged costs incurred as a result of project delays and added volumes of incinerated waste. The Company's counterclaim seeks an amount in excess of $9,200,000 for damages arising from Occidental's breach of contract, misrepresentation and failure to pay outstanding contract amounts. The Company has established additional reserves for a portion of the receivables related to this matter (see "Note 7 - Special Charges"). Management believes that it has established adequate reserves should the resolution of the above matter be lower than the amounts recorded. As a result of an arbitration proceeding between the Company and Separation and Recovery Systems, Inc. ("SRS") arising out of the Company's termination of SRS' subcontract for the performance of thermal desorption services at the Hilton-Davis Project in Cincinnati, Ohio, SRS was awarded $2,400,000 in damages from the Company. The Company has established a $2,400,000 reserve for the arbitration award and has reduced the receivables relating to SRS' subcontract performance (see "Note 7 - Special Charges"). The Company filed a motion in federal court to overturn the award and SRS has filed a motion to confirm the award. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio has scheduled a hearing in September 1997 to decide these two motions. The Company is in litigation with General Motors Corp. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. GM filed suit in January 1996 alleging that the Company breached a contract between Hughes Environmental Systems, Inc. (HESI), a GM subsidiary, for work in 1994 for the remediation of 22,000 cubic yards of PCB contaminated sediment in the St. Lawrence River in Massena. GM seeks damages for $3.8 million. The Company in turn filed suit against HESI and ERM Northeast, Inc. in U.S. District Court in Northern New York seeking $3.6 million in damages for breach of contract. The GM suit was later consolidated with the Company's suit against HESI and ERM. GM alleges that the Company abandoned the contract through inability to perform while the Company claims that performance was impacted by conditions at the site that were not as represented. In addition to the above, the Company is subject to a number of claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these actions, which are not clearly determinable at the present time, are either adequately covered by insurance or other reserves, or if not insured or reserved, will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse impact upon the Company's consolidated future results of operations or financial condition. In the course of the Company's business there is always risk and uncertainty in pursuing and defending claims, litigation and arbitration proceedings and, notwithstanding the reserves currently established, adverse future results in litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse impact upon the Company's consolidated future results of operations or financial condition. NOTE 7 - SPECIAL CHARGES During the second quarter of 1997, the Company settled litigation and received an unfavorable binding arbitration decision that established a need to write-down claims receivable previously recorded by the Company. These actions together with a thorough analysis by management of other claims, litigation and the related receivables and a decision by management to establish reserves for the consolidation of certain laboratory and operational functions resulted in the Company recording a $22,726,000 (net of $15,151,000 income tax benefit), charge during the second quarter of 1997. The following discussion details the various elements of the charge: Separation and Recovery Systems, Inc. ("SRS"). In June 1997, the Company received an unfavorable binding arbitration decision in a dispute between the Company and SRS. SRS's subcontract with the Company to provide thermal desorption treatment services at the Hilton Davis chemical site in Cincinnati, Ohio was terminated by the Company in the second quarter of 1996 due to failure to perform. The Company subsequently attempted to perform the treatment process with the SRS equipment and was unsuccessful. The inability of SRS to perform caused the Company to incur significant expense to complete the required treatment process. The Company's total claim in arbitration against SRS for the resulting expense of failed performance was $18,500,000 and included deferred cost of $9,814,000 recorded by the Company as a receivable from SRS. In addition to not collecting the receivable, the arbitration decision required the Company to pay SRS $2,400,000 in damages for their counterclaim for wrongful termination. The Company also established a loss reserve of $2,800,000 to complete the treatment effort required as a result of the above. Prior to the arbitration decision the Company had concluded that it was not probable that a loss had occurred based on the opinion of counsel, consequently the write-off was taken in the same period that the decision was rendered. 6 10 Citgo Petroleum Corporation ("Citgo"). In June 1997, the Company settled litigation with Citgo and Occidental Oil & Gas (Oxy) relating to a project which was performed by the Company for Citgo at its Lake Charles, Louisiana refinery in 1993 and 1994. This litigation resulted from the Company filing a request for equitable adjustment in April 1994 based on deficient project specifications provided by Citgo, the subsequent lawsuit filed by Citgo in April 1994 and the counterclaims filed by the Company in July 1994. In 1995 Citgo and the Company brought separate actions against Oxy as a third party with previous involvement at the site. Extensive discovery by all parties prior to a scheduled trial in 1997 led to settlement discussions in the second quarter of 1997. Under the terms of the settlement with Citgo and Oxy, the Company received a cash payment of $14,346,000 against outstanding receivables of $22,609,000 resulting in a write-off of accounts receivable of $8,263,000. Prior to accepting the settlement offer, the Company had concluded that it was not probable that a loss had occurred based on the opinion of legal counsel that there existed a reasonable basis to support the Company's claim in litigation. The settlement and resulting write down of accounts receivable occurred after management completed its assessment of the litigation, the determination of the maximum amount of settlement that could be obtained and its review of the disadvantages of continuing litigation which would divert the attention of company management and resources. Other Litigation and Accounts Receivable. In addition to the aforementioned disputes, the Company made a decision to resolve other significant legal matters involving outstanding accounts receivable. In June 1997, the Company settled outstanding litigation with B&V Construction, Inc. ("B&V") for $1,550,000 pertaining to dispute involving subcontracted services at a General Motors project in Flight, Michigan during late 1994. Payment to B&V was made in July 1997. Accounts receivable involving disputes primarily related to two additional contracts were also written down to facilitate settlement. These decisions resulted from management's analysis of the unfavorable SRS arbitration decision and the protracted Citgo litigation and subsequent settlement. Management concluded that the risk associated with continued pursuit of legal remedies was not acceptable and the further diversion of management's attention to effect favorable outcomes was not appropriate. Prior to that time, the Company had concluded that it was not probable that a loss had occurred based on the opinion of counsel. Litigation Costs. As a result of the above legal matters and the significant expense of resolving such matters, the Company has accrued $2,100,000 for the expenses of the litigation such as attorney's fees. This accrual includes costs associated with those matters included in the special charge discussed above including those that expect to be settled. The Company concluded that due to the timing of the settlements discussed above, the related expense of settlement should also be accrued. Region Reorganization, Laboratory Closure & Severance. In May 1997, management of the Company made a decision to consolidate certain region operations, close certain offices and cease commercial laboratory operations. These decisions were made as a part of a comprehensive plan completed in the second quarter of 1997 to restructure operations of the Company. Thus, resulting expense was recognized as a special charge at that time. Employees of the Company were notified of the reduction in force at that time and substantially all of the reserve requiring a cash settlement was paid prior to the end of 1997. The components of this special charge were: Cash items: (In Thousands) Severance $1,500 Lease termination and facility closure 1,139 Other 388 ------ Subtotal 3,027 Non cash items: Fixed Assets 773 ------ Total $3,800 ====== NSC Divestiture. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company wrote down its investment in NSC to the expected net realizable value based on its plans to sell its 40% share of NSC. As a result, the Company recorded a $12,089,000 (net of $2,860,000 income tax benefit) charge to earnings. The Company accounts for its investment in 40% of the outstanding stock of NSC Corporation on the equity method. Although NSC's stock had traded below the per share carrying value of the recorded investment for some time prior to June 1997, the Company believed this decline was temporary because NSC had continued to report net income, positive cash flow from operations, and continued to pay dividends. In the second quarter of 1997, the Company made the decision to sell its investment in NSC. The Company concluded in the second quarter of 1997 that as a result of its decision to sell its investment in NSC, it should record an impairment loss. This loss was calculated to be $14.9 million before tax which represents the difference between the Company's carrying amount of its investment per share ($5.83) and the fair market value per share of NSC's stock on the day that the Company decided to sell ($2.10) times the 4,010,000 shares held by the Company. 7 11 The following table summarizes the detailed components of the charge:

8 12 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT Board of Directors and Shareholders OHM Corporation We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of OHM Corporation as of June 30, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists primarily of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of OHM Corporation as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not present herein, and in our report dated February 7, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. ERNST & YOUNG LLP Columbus, Ohio July 29, 1997 9 13 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company provides a broad range of environmental and hazardous waste remediation services to its clients located primarily in the United States. The timing of the Company's revenue is dependent on its backlog, contract awards and the performance requirements of each contract. The Company's revenue is also affected by the timing of its clients' planned remediation activities which generally increase during the third and fourth quarters. Because of this change in demand, the Company's quarterly revenue can fluctuate, and revenue for the first and second quarters of each year have historically been lower than for the third and fourth quarters, although there can be no assurance that this will occur in future years. Accordingly, quarterly or other interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for any quarter or full fiscal year. Effective June 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Beneco Enterprises, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Beneco"), for an aggregate purchase price of $14,700,000. The purchase price was paid as follows: (i) $9,700,000 in cash and (ii) unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate of $5,000,000. Beneco is a provider of project, program and construction management services to the Department of Defense and other government agencies throughout the United States. The acquisition of Beneco has been accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill, have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of June 1, 1997. The Company's consolidated statements of operations include the results of Beneco since June 1, 1997. See "Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements." RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUE. The following table sets forth the Company's revenue by client type for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands, except percentages):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------- ------------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Federal, State, and Local Government $104,771 81% $ 96,802 75% $197,157 83% $187,374 76% Industrial ......................... 24,542 19% 32,375 25% 40,654 17% 60,766 24% -------- --- -------- --- -------- --- -------- --- Total Revenue ............. $129,313 100% $129,177 100% $237,811 100% $248,140 100% ======== === ======== === ======== === ======== ===
Revenue increased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 1997 by $136,000 when compared to the same time period in 1996. Such increase in revenue is primarily due to the inclusion of $8,511,000 of revenue from Beneco which was acquired effective June 1, 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 revenue decreased $10,329,000 when compared to the same period in 1996. Such decrease in revenue is primarily the result of decreased revenue from industrial sector clients, partially offset by the results of Beneco. Revenue from government agencies for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 increased $7,969,000 or 8% and $9,783,000 or 5%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1996. This improvement resulted primarily due to the inclusion of $8,511,000 of revenue from Beneco which was acquired effective June 1, 1997. Beneco's revenue is primarily derived from program and construction management services provided under term contracts with the various Department of Defense agencies and state and local governments. The hazardous waste remediation services business experienced an increase in revenue from the Company's term contracts with the United States Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE") and the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as well as from state and local governments during the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the same periods in 1996. Such increases were offset by a decrease in revenue from the Company's term contracts with the United States Navy and the United States Air Force. The Company expects to continue to receive funding under its federal contracts into the foreseeable future and is experiencing a significant amount of proposal activity for new contracts with the various Department of Defense agencies, as well as the Department of Energy. However, reductions by Congress in future environmental remediation budgets of government agencies may have a material adverse impact upon future revenue from such agencies and the funding of the Company's government term contracts included in contract backlog. The Company experienced a $7,833,000 or 24% decrease in revenue from industrial clients for the three months ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the same period in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenue from industrial clients decreased $20,112,000 or 33% when compared to the same period in 1996. The Company believes that demand for its services from the industrial sector has been negatively impacted due to anticipated changes in the Superfund law pending its reauthorization as well as current economic conditions in certain industry and geographic sectors. Although the Company cannot predict the impact upon the environmental industry of the failure of Congress to reauthorize the Superfund law, further delays in Superfund reauthorization will continue to have a material adverse impact upon the demand for the Company's services in the 10 14 form of project delays as clients and potential clients wait for and anticipate changes in these regulations. The result of decreased demand from the industrial sector has increased the competitive pressures on the contracts available for bid from the industrial market. The Company has been very selective in bidding industrial contracts and has established specific minimum criteria on profitability and risk in determining whether or not to compete for any given contract. The Company expects the current market conditions to continue in the industrial sector into the foreseeable future. COST OF SERVICES AND GROSS PROFIT. Cost of services decreased and gross profit increased for the three months when compared to the same periods in 1996 as the Company experienced a slight increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Both cost of services and gross profit decreased for the six months ended June 30, 1997, primarily as a result of the decrease in revenue. The Company's gross profit as a percentage of revenue was negatively impacted during the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the same periods in 1996 due to decreased margins in the industrial sector resulting from competitive pressures. This was partially offset by an increase in the margin percent on the Company's government projects. Claims Settlement Costs and Other. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company settled litigation and received an unfavorable binding arbitration decision that established a need to write-down claims receivable previously recorded by the Company. These actions together with a thorough analysis by management of other claims, litigation and the related receivables and a decision by management to establish reserves for the consolidation of certain laboratory and operational functions resulted in the Company recording a $22,726,000 (net of $15,151,000 income tax benefit), charge during the second quarter of 1997. The following discussion details the various elements of the charge: * Separation and Recovery Systems, Inc. ("SRS"). In June 1997, the Company received an unfavorable binding arbitration decision in a dispute between the Company and SRS. SRS's subcontract with the Company to provide thermal desorption treatment services at the Hilton Davis chemical site in Cincinnati, Ohio was terminated by the Company in the second quarter of 1996 due to failure to perform. The Company subsequently attempted to perform the treatment process with the SRS equipment and was unsuccessful. The inability of SRS to perform caused the Company to incur significant expense to complete the required treatment process. The Company's total claim in arbitration against SRS for the resulting expense of failed performance was $18,500,000 and included deferred cost of $9,814,000 recorded by the Company as a receivable from SRS. In addition to not collecting the receivable, the arbitration decision required the Company to pay SRS $2,400,000 in damages for their counterclaim for wrongful termination. The Company also established a loss reserve of $2,800,000 to complete the treatment effort required as a result of the above. Prior to the arbitration decision the Company had concluded that it was not probable that a loss had occurred based on the opinion of counsel, consequently the write-off was taken in the same period that the decision was rendered. * Citgo Petroleum Corporation ("Citgo"). In June 1997, the Company settled litigation with Citgo and Occidental Oil & Gas (Oxy) relating to a project which was performed by the Company for Citgo at its Lake Charles, Louisiana refinery in 1993 and 1994. This litigation resulted from the Company filing a request for equitable adjustment in April 1994 based on deficient project specifications provided by Citgo, the subsequent lawsuit filed by Citgo in April 1994 and the counterclaims filed by the Company in July 1994. In 1995 Citgo and the Company brought separate actions against Oxy as a third party with previous involvement at the site. Extensive discovery by all parties prior to a scheduled trial in 1997 led to settlement discussions in the second quarter of 1997. Under the terms of the settlement with Citgo and Oxy, the Company received a cash payment of $14,346,000 against outstanding receivables of $22,609,000 resulting in a write-off of accounts receivable of $8,263,000. Prior to accepting the settlement offer, the Company had concluded that it was not probable that a loss had occurred based on the opinion of legal counsel that there existed a reasonable basis to support the Company's claim in litigation. The settlement and resulting write down of accounts receivable occurred after management completed its assessment of the litigation, the determination of the maximum amount of settlement that could be obtained and its review of the disadvantages of continuing litigation which would divert the attention of company management and resources. * Other Litigation and Accounts Receivable. In addition to the aforementioned disputes, the Company made a decision to resolve other significant legal matters involving outstanding accounts receivable. In June 1997, the Company settled outstanding litigation with B&V Construction, Inc. ("B&V") for $1,550,000 pertaining to a dispute involving subcontracted services at a General Motors project in Flint, Michigan during late 1994. Payment to B&V was made in July 1997. Accounts receivable involving disputes primarily related to two additional contracts were also written down to facilitate settlement. These decisions resulted from management's analysis of the unfavorable SRS arbitration decision and the protracted Citgo litigation and subsequent settlement and concluded that the risk associated with continued pursuit of legal remedies was not acceptable and the further diversion of management's attention to effect favorable outcomes was not appropriate. Prior to that time, the Company had concluded that it was not probable that a loss had occurred based on the opinion of counsel. * Litigation Costs. As a result of the above discussed legal matters and the significant expense of resolving such matters, the Company has accrued $2,100,000 for the expenses of the litigation such as attorney's fees. This accrual includes costs associated with those matters included in the special charge discussed above including those that expect to be settled. The 11 15 Company concluded that due to the timing of the settlements discussed above, the related expense of settlement should also be accrued. * Region Reorganization Laboratory Closure & Severance. In May 1997, management of the Company made a decision to consolidate certain regional operations, close certain offices and cease commercial laboratory operations. These decisions were made as a part of a comprehensive plan completed in the second quarter of 1997 to restructure operations of the company. Thus, resulting expense was recognized as a special charge at that time. Employees of the Company were notified of the reduction in force at that time and substantially all of the reserve requiring a cash settlement was paid prior to the end of 1997. The components of this special charge were: Cash items: (In Thousands) Severance $1,500 Lease termination and facility closure 1,139 Other 388 -------- Subtotal 3,027 Non cash items: Fixed Assets 773 -------- Total $3,800 ======== * The following table summarizes the detailed components of the charge:
(In Thousands) Tax Net Charge Benefit Loss ------ ------- ---- SRS Settlement and Project Loss Accrual $15,014 $ 6,006 $ 9,008 Citgo Settlement (Net of $14.3 million) 8,263 3,305 4,958 Other Litigation and Accounts Receivable 8,700 3,480 5,220 Litigation Costs 2,100 840 1,260 Region Reorganization & Other 3,800 1,520 2,280 ------- -------- -------- Total Claims Settlement & Other $37,877 $ 15,151 $ 22,726 ======= ======== ========
PROVISIONS FOR BAD DEBTS. The Company's provision for bad debts, excluding items recorded as a part of the claims settlement costs, was $650,000 and $1,879,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The provision was higher in 1996 primarily due to settlement of rate variances for government cost plus contracts. The provision for bad debts with respect to claims settlements is discussed in Claims Settlement Costs and Other above. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative ("SGA") expenses decreased $452,000 or 4% and $1,219,000 or 5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1996. SGA expense as a percentage of revenue was 9% for all periods presented. SGA expense has decreased primarily as a result of decreased revenues and reductions made to overhead expenses. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 38% and 34% during the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1996. The decrease in interest expense was a result of a decrease in the average borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit agreement during such periods in 1997 when compared to the same periods in 1996. EQUITY IN NET EARNINGS OF AFFILIATE. The Company's equity interest in NSC's net earnings was $0 and $185,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. NSC's net income has decreased primarily as a result of decreased revenues in its Olshan demolition business. In addition, NSC has experienced a decrease in gross profit as a result of margin deterioration and losses incurred on certain of its projects during 1997. WRITE DOWN OF INVESTMENT IN NSC. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company wrote down its investment in NSC to the expected net realizable value based on its plans to sell its 40% share of NSC. As a result, the Company recorded a $12,089,000 (net of $2,860,000 income tax benefit) charge to earnings. The Company accounts for the investment in 40% of the outstanding stock of NSC Corporation on the equity method. Although NSC's stock had traded below the per share carrying value of the recorded investment for some time prior to June 1997, the Company believed this decline was temporary because NSC had continued to report net income, positive cash flow from operations, and continued to pay dividends. In the second quarter of 1997, the Company made the decision to sell its investment in NSC. The company concluded in the second quarter of 1997 that as a result of its decision to sell its investment in NSC, it should record an impairment loss. This loss was calculated to be $14.9 million before tax which represents the difference between the Company's carrying amount of its investment per share ($5.83) and the fair market value per share of NSC's stock on the day that the Company decided to sell ($2.10) times the 12 16 4,010,000 shares held by the Company. NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $(31,609,000) or $(1.16) per share compared to $2,379,000 or $0.09 per share for the same period in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net income (loss) was $(30,171,000) or $(1.11) per share compared to $3,709,000 or $0.14 per share for the same period in 1996. Such losses were a result of the aforementioned charges recorded during the second quarter of 1997. Without such charges, net income would have been $3,206,000 or $0.12 per share and $4,644,000 or $0.17 per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 34% and 33% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the six month period ending June 30, 1997 and 1996, the effective income tax rate was 34% and 33%, respectively. See "Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements" for a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective income tax rate. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On May 31, 1995, the Company entered into a $150,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of banks (the "Bank Group") to provide letters of credit and cash borrowings. The agreement has a five year term and is scheduled to expire on May 30, 2000. WMX has issued a guarantee of up to $62,000,000 outstanding under the credit agreement in favor of the Bank Group. Under the terms of the agreement the entire credit facility can be used for either cash borrowings or letters of credit. Cash borrowings bear interest at either the prime rate plus a percentage up to 0.625% or, at the Company's option, the Eurodollar market rate plus a percentage ranging from 0.325% to 1.625%. The percentage over the prime rate or the Eurodollar market rate is based on the aggregate amount borrowed under the facility, the presence of the guarantee, and the Company's financial performance as measured by an interest coverage ratio and a total funded debt ratio. The agreement provides the participating banks with a security interest in the Company's equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, general intangibles and in the Company's investment in the common stock of NSC as well as the Company's other subsidiaries. The agreement also imposes, among other covenants, a minimum tangible net worth covenant, a restriction on all of the Company's retained earnings including the declaration and payment of cash dividends and a restriction on the ratio of total funded debt to earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization. There were no amounts outstanding for cash borrowing under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 1997 or December 31, 1996. Aggregate letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were $14,108,000 and $12,223,000, respectively. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, were $10,529,000 and $11,221,000, respectively. The Company's capital expenditures are primarily related to the installation of computer systems and related equipment, the purchase of heavy equipment and the fabrication of custom equipment by the Company for the execution of remediation projects. Capital expenditures for the entire fiscal year 1997 are expected to range between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000. The Company's long-term capital expenditure requirements are dependent upon the type and size of future remediation projects awarded to the Company. The Company believes that the government sector will continue to be its primary source of revenue for the foreseeable future in light of its contract backlog with federal government agencies. Revenue from government agencies historically has required greater working capital, the major component of which is accounts receivable, than revenue from industrial sector clients. In addition, the Company is bidding on a number of large, long-term contract opportunities which, if awarded to the Company, would also increase working capital needs and capital expenditures. The Company believes it will be able to finance its working capital needs and capital expenditures in the short term through a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowing under its revolving credit facility, proceeds from permitted asset sales and other external sources. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Rust Remedial Services, its parent company, Waste Management, Inc., has provided the Company with a credit guarantee of up to $62,000,000 of the Company's indebtedness outstanding until May 30, 2000. Such credit guarantee has allowed the Company to expand its borrowing capacity and lower its cost of capital under its new credit facility entered into on May 31, 1995. The Company, from time to time, evaluates potential acquisitions of companies in the environmental remediation industry and industries related to the core skills of the Company. While the Company believes that there are currently available a number of potential acquisition candidates that would be complementary to its business, the Company currently has no agreements, understandings or arrangements to acquire a specific business or other material assets. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful in pursuing such acquisition opportunities or what the consequences of any such acquisition would be. Future acquisitions may involve the expenditure of significant funds and management time. Depending upon the nature, size and timing of future acquisitions, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through financings, including public or private equity or debt offerings or additional bank financings. There is no assurance that such additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms. 13 17 The Company's identified long-term capital needs consist of payments due upon the maturity of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility in 2000 and sinking fund payments which commenced in 1996 of 7.5% of the principal amount as well as payments due upon maturity of its Convertible Debentures in 2006. The Company has purchased and retired $10,736,000 of the outstanding Convertible Debentures during 1995 and 1996, sufficient to meet its annual sinking fund obligations through October 1, 1997, as well as a portion of the sinking fund obligation due October 1, 1998. The Company believes that it will be able to refinance the remaining indebtedness as necessary. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING Although the Company believes that it generally benefits from increased environmental regulations and from enforcement of those regulations, increased regulation and enforcement also create significant risks for the Company. The assessment, remediation, analysis, handling and management of hazardous substances necessarily involve significant risks, including the possibility of damages or injuries caused by the escape of hazardous materials into the environment, and the possibility of fines, penalties or other regulatory action. These risks include potentially large civil and criminal liabilities for violations of environmental laws and regulations, and liabilities to customers and to third parties for damages arising from performing services for clients, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not believe there are currently any material environmental liabilities which should be recorded or disclosed in its financial statements. The Company anticipates that its compliance with various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment will not have a material effect on its capital expenditures, future earnings or competitive position. Because of its dependence on government contracts, the Company also faces the risks associated with such contracting, which could include civil and criminal fines and penalties. As a result of its government contracting business, the Company has been, is, and may in the future be subject to audits and investigations by government agencies. The fines and penalties which could result from noncompliance with the Company's government contracts or appropriate standards and regulations, or the Company's suspension or debarment from future government contracting, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
