We are one of the largest electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services firms in the United States, We specialize principally in providing construction services relating to electrical and mechanical systems in facilities of all types and in providing comprehensive services for the operation, maintenance and management of substantially all aspects of such facilities, commonly referred to as “facilities services.” We design, integrate, install,start-up, operate and maintain various electrical and mechanical systems, including: Electric power transmission and distribution systems; Premises electrical and lighting systems; Low-voltage systems, such as fire alarm, security and process control systems; Voice and data communications systems; Roadway and transit lighting and fiber optic lines; Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation systems; Fire protection systems; Plumbing, process and high-purity piping systems; Controls and filtration systems; Water and wastewater treatment systems; Central plant heating and cooling systems; Crane and rigging services; Millwright services; and Steel fabrication, erection, and welding services. Our facilities services operations, many of which support the operation of a customer’s facilities, include: Industrial maintenance and services, including those for refineries and petrochemical plants; Outage services to utilities and industrial plants; Commercial and government site-based operations and maintenance; Military base operations support services; Mobile mechanical maintenance and services; Floor care and janitorial services; Landscaping, lot sweeping and snow removal; Facilities management; Installation and support for building systems; Program development, management and maintenance for energy systems; Technical consulting and diagnostic services; Small modification and retrofit projects; and Retrofit projects to comply with clean air laws. Facilities services are provided to a wide range of commercial, industrial, utility, institutional and Canada, the United Kingdom and in the world. In 2010,2011, we had revenues of approximately $5.1$5.6 billion. We provide services to a broad range of commercial, industrial, utility and institutional customers through overapproximately 70 operating subsidiaries and joint venture entities. Our offices are located in the United States Canada and the United Kingdom. Our executive offices are located at 301 Merritt Seven, Norwalk, Connecticut06851-1092, and our telephone number at those offices is(203) 849-7800.• Electric power transmission and distribution systems;• Premises electrical and lighting systems;• Low-voltage systems, such as fire alarm, security and process control systems;• Voice and data communications systems;• Roadway and transit lighting and fiber optic lines;• Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation systems;• Fire protection systems;• Plumbing, process and high-purity piping systems;• Water and wastewater treatment systems; and• Central plant heating and cooling systems.• Industrial maintenance and services;• Outage services to utilities and industrial plants;• Commercial and government site-based operations and maintenance;• Military base operations support services;• Mobile maintenance and services;• Facilities management;• Installation and support for building systems;• Program development, management and maintenance for energy systems;• Shop andon-site field services for refineries and petrochemical plants;• Technical consulting and diagnostic services;• Infrastructure and building projects for federal, state and local governmental agencies and bodies;• Small modification and retrofit projects; and• Retrofit projects to comply with clean air laws.institutional facilities, including those to which we also provide construction services and others to which construction services are provided by others. Many of our varied1
Our revenues are derived from many different customers in numerous industries, which have operations in several different geographical areas. Of our 20102011 revenues, approximately 86%91% were generated in the United States and approximately 14%9% were generated internationally.in the United Kingdom. In 2010,2011, approximately 42%36% of revenues were derived from new construction projects, 19%20% were derived from renovation and retrofit of customer’s existing facilities, and 39%44% were derived from facilities services operations.
The broad scope of our operations is more particularly described below. For information regarding the revenues and operating income of each of our segments with respect to each of the last three years, total assets of each of our segments with respect to each of the last two years, and our revenues and assets attributable to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and all other foreign countries, see Note 18 — 19—Segment Information of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The electrical and mechanical construction services industry has grown over the years due principally to the increased content, complexity and sophistication of electrical and mechanical systems, as well as the installation of more technologically advanced voice and data communications, lighting and environmental control systems in all types of facilities in large part due to the integration of digital processing and information technology in all types of projects. For these reasons, buildings need extensive electrical distribution systems. In addition, advanced voice and data communication systems require more sophisticated power supplies and extensive low-voltage and fiber-optic communications cabling. Moreover, the need for substantial environmental controls within a building, due to the heightened need for climate control to maintain extensive computer systems at optimal temperatures, and the demand for energy savings and environmental control in individual spaces have over the years expanded opportunities for our electrical and mechanical services businesses. The demand for these services is typically driven by non-residential construction and renovation activity. Electrical and mechanical construction services primarily involve the design, integration, installation andstart-up electrical and lighting systems, including fixtures and controls; (c) low-voltage systems, such as fire alarm, security and process control systems; (d) voice and data communications systems, including fiber-optic and low-voltage cabling; (e) roadway and transit lighting and fiber-optic lines; (f) heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation systems; (g) fire protection systems; (h) plumbing, process and high-purity piping systems; (i) controls and filtration systems; (j) water and wastewater treatment systems; Electrical and mechanical construction services generally fall into one of two categories: (a) large installation projects with contracts often in the multi-million dollar range that involve construction of industrial and commercial buildings and institutional and public works Our United States electrical and mechanical construction services operations accounted for about 52% of our of: and provision of services relating to: (a) electric power transmission and distribution systems, including power cables, conduits, distribution panels, transformers, generators, uninterruptible power supply systems and related switch gear and controls; (b) premisesand (j)(k) central plant heating and cooling systems.facilitiesprojects or the fit-out of large blocks of space within commercial buildings and (b) smaller installation projects typically involving fit-out, renovation and retrofit work.20102011 revenues, of which revenues of approximately 68%65% were related to new construction and approximately 32%35% were related to renovation and retrofit projects. Our United Kingdom and Canada electrical and mechanical construction services operations accounted for approximately 9%4% of our 20102011 revenues, of which revenues of approximately 71%54% were related to new construction and approximately 29%46% were related to renovation and retrofit projects. We provide electrical and mechanical construction services for both large and small installation and renovation projects. Our largest projects have included those: (a) for institutional use (such as water and wastewater treatment facilities, hospitals, correctional facilities and research laboratories); (b) for industrial use (such as pharmaceutical plants, steel, pulp and paper mills, chemical, food, automotive and semiconductor manufacturing facilities and oil refineries); (c) for transportation projects (such as highways, airports and transit systems); (d) for commercial use (such as office buildings, data centers, hotels, casinos, convention centers, sports stadiums, shopping malls and resorts); and (e) for power generation and energy management projects. Our largest projects, which typically range in size from $10.0 million up to and2
Our projects of less than $10.0 million accounted for approximately 61%69% of our 20102011 electrical and mechanical construction services revenues. These projects are typically completed in less than one year. They usually involve electrical and mechanical construction services when an end-user or owner undertakes construction or modification of a facility to accommodate a specific use. These projects frequently require electrical and mechanical systems to meet special needs such as critical systems power supply, fire protection systems, special environmental controls and high-purity air systems, sophisticated electrical and mechanical systems for data centers, trading floors in financial services businesses, new production lines in manufacturing plants and office arrangements in existing office buildings. They are not usually dependent upon the new construction market. Demand for these projects and types of services is often prompted by the expiration of leases, changes in technology, or changes in the customer’s plant or office layout in the normal course of a customer’s business.
We have a broad customer base with many long-standing relationships. We perform services pursuant to contracts with owners, such as corporations, municipalities and other governmental entities, general contractors, systems suppliers, construction managers, developers, other subcontractors and tenants of commercial properties. Institutional and public works projects are frequently long-term complex projects that require significant technical and management skills and the financial strength to obtain bid and performance bonds, which are often a condition to bidding for and winning these projects.
We also install and maintain lighting for streets, highways, bridges and tunnels, traffic signals, computerized traffic control systems, and signal and communication systems for mass transit systems in several metropolitan areas. In addition, in the United States, we manufacture and install sheet metal air handling systems for both our own mechanical construction operations and for unrelated mechanical contractors. We also maintain welding and pipe fabrication shops in support of some of our mechanical operations.
Our United States facilities services operations provide facilities services to a wide range of commercial, industrial, utility, institutional and institutional facilities, including both those for which we have provided construction services and those for which construction services were provided by others. Facilities services are frequently bundled to provide integrated service packages and are provided on a mobile basis or by our employees based at customer sites. Through a recent acquisition of a government infrastructure project company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, we now offer diversified prime contracting services to federal and state government agencies and local municipalities.
These facilities services, which generated approximately 39%44% of our 20102011 revenues, are provided to owners, operators, tenants and managers of all types of facilities both on a contract basis for a specified period of time and on an individual task order basis. Of our 20102011 facilities services revenues, approximately 86%88% were generated in the United States and approximately 14%12% were generated internationally.
Our facilities services operations have built on our traditional electrical and mechanical services operations, facilities services activities atof our electrical and mechanical contracting subsidiaries, and our client relationships, as well as acquisitions, to expand the scope of services being offered and to develop packages of services for customers on a regional and national basis.
Our United States facilities services segment offers a broad range of facilities services, including operation, maintenance and service of electrical and mechanical systems,systems; industrial maintenance and services, including outage services to utilities and industrial plants,plants; commercial and government site-based operations and maintenance,maintenance; military base operations support services,services; mobile mechanical maintenance and services,services; floor care and janitorial services; landscaping, lot sweeping and snow removal; facilities management,management; installation and support for building systems,systems; program development, management and maintenance ofwith respect to energy systems,systems; technical consulting and diagnostic services,services; infrastructure and building projects for federal, state and local governmental agencies and bodies,bodies; small modification and retrofit projectsprojects; and retrofit projects to comply with clean air laws.
Demand for our facilities services is often driven by customers’ decisions to focus on their own core competencies, customers’ programs to reduce costs, the increasing technical complexity of their facilities and their mechanical, electrical, voice and data and other systems, and the need for increased reliability, especially in electrical and mechanical systems. These trends have led to outsourcing and privatization programs whereby customers in both the private and public sectors seek to contract out those activities that support, but are not directly associated with, the customer’s core business. Clients of our facilities services business include the federal government, utilities, independent power producers, refineries, pulp and paper producers and major corporations engaged in information technology, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, financial services, publishing and other manufacturing.
3
We currently provide facilities services in a majority of the states in the United States to commercial, industrial, institutional and governmental customers and as part of our operations are responsible for: (a) the oversight of all or most of the facilities operations of a business, including operation and maintenance; (b) the oversight of logistical processes; (c) servicing, upgrade and retrofit of HVAC, electrical, plumbing and industrial piping and sheet metal systems in existing facilities; (d) interior and exterior services, including floor care and janitorial services, landscaping, lot sweeping and snow removal; (e) diagnostic and solution engineering for building systems and their components; (e)(f) maintenance and support services to manufacturers and power producers; and (f) shop andon-site field(g) services for refineries and petrochemical plants.
In the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, we provide facilities services at a number of preeminent buildings, including those that house the Secret Service, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the World Bank, the National Affairs Training Center, and the Department of Health and Human Services. We also provide facilities services to a number of military bases, including base operations support services to the Navy Capital Region, and are also involved in joint ventures providing facilities services to the Naval Base Kitsap in the State of Washington. The agreements pursuant to which this division provides services to the federal government are subject to renegotiation of terms and prices by the government, termination by the government prior to the expiration of the term, and non-renewal.
As part of our facilities services operations, we also provide energyaftermarket maintenance and repair services which includefor highly engineered shell and tube heat exchangers for refineries and the design, construction and operation of energy related projects and facilities on a turnkey basis. Currently, we operate several central heating and cooling plants/power and cogenerationpetrochemical industry both at facilities and provide maintenancein the field. These services are tailored to meet customer needs for high-voltage and boiler systems under multi-year contracts. In addition, we provide consulting and national program energy management services under multi-year agreements and energy efficiency system retrofits.
Our United Kingdom subsidiary also has a division that focuses on facilities services. This division currently provides a broad range of facilities services under multi-year agreements to public and private sector customers, including airlines, airports, real estate property managers, manufacturers and governmental agencies.
In both our electrical and mechanical construction services and facilities services operationsbusinesses, we compete with national, regional and local companies, many of which are complementary, permitting us to offer customerssmall, owner-operated entities that carry on their businesses in a comprehensive package of services. Our ability to offer construction services and facilities services enhances our competitive position with customers. Furthermore, our revenues from our facilities services operations tend to be less cyclical than our construction operations because facilities services are more responsive to the needs of an industry’s operational requirements rather than its construction requirements.
We believe that the electrical and mechanical construction services business is highly fragmented and our competition includes thousands of small companies across the United States and around the world. We also compete with national, regional and local companies, many of which are small, owner-operated entities that carry on their businesses in a limited geographic area. However, there are a few United States based public companies focused on providing either electrical and/or mechanical construction services, such as Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. and, Comfort Systems USA, Inc. and Tutor Perini Corporation. A majority of our revenues are derived from projects requiring
competitive bids; however, an invitation to bid is often conditioned upon prior experience, technical capability and financial strength. Because we have total assets, annual revenues, net worth, access to bank credit and surety bonding and expertise significantly greater than most of our competitors, we believe we have a significant competitive advantage over our competitors in providing electrical and mechanical construction services. Competitive factors in the electrical and mechanical construction services business include: (a) the availability of qualifiedand/or licensed personnel; (b) reputation for integrity and quality; (c) safety record; (d) cost structure; (e) relationships with customers; (f) geographic diversity; (g) the ability to control project costs; (h) experience in specialized markets; (i) the ability to obtain surety bonding; (j) adequate working capital; (k) access to bank credit; and (l) price. However, there are relatively few significant barriers to entry to several types of our construction services business.
While the facilities services business is also highly fragmented with most competitors operating in a specific geographic region, a number of large United States based corporations such as Johnson Controls, Inc., Fluor Corp., UNICCO Service Company, the

At December 31, 2010,2011, we employed over 24,00025,000 people, approximately 65%61% of whom are represented by various unions pursuant to more than 400 collective bargaining agreements between our individual subsidiaries and local unions. We believe that our employee relations are generally good. Only two of these collective bargaining agreements are national or regional in scope.
We had backlog as of December 31, 20102011 of approximately $3.42$3.3 billion, compared with backlog of approximately $3.15$3.1 billion as of December 31, 2009.2010, excluding backlog from our Canadian subsidiary, which we sold in August 2011. Backlog increases with awards of new contracts and decreases as we perform work on existing contracts. Backlog is not a term recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles; however, it is a common measurement used in our industry. Backlog includes unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts plus unrecognized revenues expected to be realized over the remaining term of the facilities services contracts. However, if the remaining term of a facilities services contract exceeds 12 months, the unrecognized revenues attributable to such contract included in backlog are limited to only the next 12 months of revenues.

Our business is subject to a variety of risks, including the risks described below as well as adverse business and market conditions and risks associated with foreign operations. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or not described below which we have not determined to be material may also impair our business operations. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all other information in this report, including information contained in the “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” sections. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected, and we may not be able to achieve our goals. Such events may cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
The economic downturn has lead to a reduction in demand for our construction services. Negative conditions in the credit markets may continue to adversely impact our ability to operate our business.The level of demand for construction services from our clients for our services has been, and will likely continue to be, adversely impacted by the downturn in the industries we service, as well as in the economy in general. As the general level of economic activity has slowed, certain of our ultimate customers have delayed or cancelled, and may continue to delay or cancel, projects or capital spending, especially with respect to more profitable private sector work, and this downturn has adversely affected our ability to continue to grow and has resulted in a reduction in our revenues and profitability, and is likely to continue to adversely affect our revenues and profitability. A number of economic factors, including financing conditions for the industries we serve, have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our ultimate customers and their ability or willingness to fund capital expenditures in the future or pay for past services. General concerns about the fundamental soundness of domestic and foreign economies have caused and may continue to cause ultimate customers to defer projects even if they have credit available to them. Continuation or further worsening of financial and macroeconomic conditions could have a significant adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.
Many of our clients depend on the availability of credit to help finance their capital and maintenance projects. During 2009 and continued in 2010, theThe tightened availability of credit tightened in spite of governmental efforts to increase liquidity and reduce interest rates. This situation has negatively impacted the ability of existing and prospective ultimate customers to fund projects we might otherwise perform, particularly those in the more profitable private sector. As a result, certain ultimate customers have deferred and others may defer such projects for an unknown, and perhaps lengthy, period. Such deferrals have inhibited our growth and adversely affected our results of operations and are likely to continue to have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
In a weak economic environment, particularly in a period of restrictive credit markets, we may experience greater difficulties in collecting payments from, and negotiating change ordersand/or claims with, our clients due to, among other reasons, a diminution in our ultimate customers’ access to the credit markets. If clients delay in paying or fail to pay a significant amount of our outstanding receivables, or we fail to successfully negotiate a significant portion of our change ordersand/or claims with clients, it could have an adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is vulnerable to the cyclical nature of the markets in which our clients operate and is dependent upon the timing and funding of new awards.We provide construction and maintenance services to ultimate customers operating in a number of markets which have been, and we expect will continue to be, cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including economic conditions and changes in client spending.
Regardless of economic or market conditions, investment decisions by our ultimate customers may vary by location or as a result of other factors like the availability of labor, or relative construction costs.costs or competitive conditions in their industry. Because we are dependent on the timing and funding of new awards, we are therefore vulnerable to changes in our clients’ markets and investment decisions. Our business has traditionally lagged recoveries in the general economy and, therefore, may not recover as quickly as the economy at large.
Our business may be affected by current government budget deficits.Significant budget deficits faced by the federal, state and local governments as a result of declining tax and other revenues may result in their curtailment of future spending on
government infrastructure projectsand/or expenditures, from which expenditures some of our businesses derive a significant portion of revenue.
An increase in the prices of certain materials used in our businesses could adversely affect our businesses.We are exposed to market risk of fluctuations in certain commodity prices of materials, such as copper and steel, which are used as components of supplies or materials utilized in both our construction and facilities services operations. We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to gasoline prices for our fleet of over 8,000 vehicles. MostWhile we believe we can increase our prices to adjust for some price increases in commodities, there can be no assurance that price increases of commodities, if they were to occur, would be recoverable. Additionally, our fixed price contracts do not allow us to adjust our prices and, as a result, increases in material or fuel costs could reduce our profitability with respect to projects in progress.
Our industry is highly competitive.Our industry is served by numerous small, owner-operated private companies, a few public companies and several large regional companies. In addition, relatively few barriers prevent entry into most of our businesses. As a
6
We are a decentralized company, which presents certain risks.While we believe decentralization has enhanced our growth and enabled us to remain responsive to opportunities and to our customers’ needs, it necessarily places significant control and decision-making powers in the hands of local management. This presents various risks, including the risk that we may be slower or less able to identify or react to problems affecting a key business than we would in a more centralized environment.
Our business may also be affected by adverse weather conditions.Adverse weather conditions, particularly during the winter season, could affect our ability to perform efficient work outdoors in certain regions of the United States and the United Kingdom and Canada.Kingdom. As a result, we could experience reduced revenues. In addition, cooler than normal temperatures during the summer months could reduce the need for our services, and warmer than normal temperatures during the winter months would also reduce the need for our services, and we may experience reduced revenues and profitability during the period such unseasonal weather conditions persist.
Our business may be affected by the work environment.We perform our work under a variety of conditions, including but not limited to, difficult terrain, difficult site conditions and busy urban centers where delivery of materials and availability of labor may be impacted, clean-room environments where strict procedures must be followed, and sites which may have been exposed to environmental hazards. Performing work under these conditions can negatively affect efficiency and, therefore, our profitability.
Our dependence upon fixed price contracts could adversely affect our business.We currently generate, and expect to continue to generate, a significant portion of our revenues from fixed price contracts. We must estimate the total costs of a particular project to bid for fixed price contracts. The actual cost of labor and materials, however, may vary from the costs we originally estimated. These variations, along with other risks, inherent in performing fixed price contracts, may cause actual gross profits from projects to differ from those we originally estimated and could result in reduced profitability or losses on projects. Depending upon the size of a particular project, variations from the estimated contract costs can have a significant impact on our operating results for any fiscal quarter or year.
We could incur additional costs to cover guarantees.In some instances, we guarantee completion of a project by a specific date or price, cost savings, achievement of certain performance standards or performance of our services at a certain standard of quality. If we subsequently fail to meet such guarantees, we may be held responsible for costs resulting from such failures. Such a failure could result in our payment of liquidated or other damages. To the extent that any of these events occur, the total costs of a project could exceed the original estimated costs, and we would experience reduced profits or, in some cases, a loss.
Many of our contracts, especially our facilities services contracts, may be canceled on short notice, and we may be unsuccessful in replacing such contracts if they are canceled or as they are completed or expire.We could experience a decrease in revenues, net income and liquidity if any of the following occur:
customers cancel a significant number of contracts;
we fail to win a significant number of our existing contracts upon re-bid;
we complete a significant number of non-recurring projects and cannot replace them with similar projects; or
we fail to reduce operating and overhead expenses consistent with any decrease in our revenues.
We may be unsuccessful in generating internal growth. Our ability to generate internal growth will be affected by, among other factors, our ability to:
expand the range of services offered to customers to address their evolving needs;
attract new customers; and
increase the number of projects performed for existing customers.
In addition, existing and potential customers have reduced, and may continue to reduce, the number or size of projects available to us due to their inability to obtain capital or pay for services provided or because of general economic conditions. Many of the

The departure of key personnel could disrupt our business.We depend on the continued efforts of our senior management. The loss of key personnel, or the inability to hire and retain qualified executives, could negatively impact our ability to manage our business. However, we have executive development and management succession plans in place in order to minimize any such negative impact.
We may be unable to attract and retain skilled employees.Our ability to grow and maintain productivity and profitability will be limited by our ability to employ, train and retain skilled personnel necessary to meet our requirements. We are dependent upon our project managers and field supervisors who are responsible for managing our projects; and there can be no assurance that any individual will continue in his or her capacity for any particular period of time, and the loss of such qualified employees could have an adverse effect on our business. We cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain an adequate skilled labor force necessary to operate efficiently and to support our business strategy or that labor expenses will not increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of these skilled personnel. Labor shortages or increased labor costs could impair our ability to maintain our business or grow our revenues.
Our unionized workforce could adversely affect our operations. operations, and we participate in many multiemployer union pension plans which could result in substantial liabilities being incurred. As of December 31, 2010,2011, approximately 65%61% of our employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Although the majority of these agreements prohibit strikes and work stoppages, we cannot be certain that strikes or work stoppages will not occur in the future. However, only two of our collective bargaining agreements are national or regional in scope, and not all of our collective bargaining agreements expire at the same time. Strikes or work stoppages would adversely impact our relationships with our customers and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We contribute to many multi-employerover 175 multiemployer union pension fundsplans based upon wages paid to our union employees.employees that could result in our being responsible for a portion of the unfunded liabilities under such plans. Our potential liability for unfunded liabilities could be material. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, we may become liable for our proportionate share of a multi-employermultiemployer pension plan’s underfunding, if we cease to contribute to that pension plan or significantly reduce the employees in respect of which we make contributions to that pension plan. See Note 15—16—Retirement Plans of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information regarding multi-employer pensionmultiemployer plans.
Fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates impact our financial results.We have significant foreign operations in Canada and the United Kingdom, which in 20102011 accounted in the aggregate, for 14%9% of our revenues. Our reported financial condition and results of operations are exposed to the effects (both positive and negative) that fluctuating exchange rates have on the process of translating the financial statements of our internationalUnited Kingdom operations, which are denominated in local currencies, into the U.S. dollar.
Our failure to comply with environmental laws could result in significant liabilities.Our operations are subject to various laws, including environmental laws and regulations, among which many deal with the handling and disposal of asbestos and other hazardous or universal waste products, PCBs and fuel storage. A violation of such laws and regulations may expose us to various claims, including claims by third parties, as well as remediation costs and fines. We own and lease many facilities. Some of these facilities contain fuel storage tanks, which may be above or below ground. If these tanks were to leak, we could be responsible for the cost of remediation as well as potential fines. As a part of our business, we also install fuel storage tanks and are sometimes required to deal with hazardous materials, all of which may expose us to environmental liability.
In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or leaks, or the imposition of newclean-up requirements could require us to incur significant costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could harm our financial condition and results of operations, although certain of these costs might be covered by insurance. In some instances, we have obtained indemnification or covenants from third parties (including predecessors or lessors) for suchclean-up and other obligations and liabilities that we believe are adequate to cover such obligations and liabilities. However, such third-party indemnities or covenants may not cover all of such costs or third-party indemnitors may default on their obligations. In addition, unanticipated obligations or liabilities, or future obligations and liabilities, may have a material adverse effect on our business operations. Further, we cannot be certain that we will be able to identify, or be indemnified for, all potential environmental liabilities relating to any acquired business.
Adverse resolution of litigation and other legal proceedings may harm our operating results or financial condition.We are a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings, most of which are in the normal course of our business. Litigation and other legal proceedings can be expensive, lengthy and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution of a particular legal proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and in some cases, on our reputation or our ability to obtain projects from

Opportunities within the government sector could lead to increased governmental regulation applicable to us and unrecoverable startup costs.Most government contracts are awarded through a regulated competitive bidding process. As we pursue increased opportunities in the government arena, particularly in our facilities services segment, management’s focus associated with thestart-up and bidding process may be diverted away from other opportunities. If we are to be successful in being awarded additional government contracts, a significant amount of costs could be required before any revenues are realized from these contracts. In addition, as a government contractor we are subject to a number of procurement rules and other regulations, any deemed violation of which could lead to fines or penalties or a loss of business. Government agencies routinely audit and investigate government contractors. Government agencies may review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. If government agencies determine through these audits or reviews that costs are improperly allocated to specific contracts, they will not reimburse the contractor for those costs or may require the contractor to refund previously reimbursed costs. If government agencies determine that we are engaged in improper activity, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and debarment or suspension from doing business with the government. Government contracts are also subject to renegotiation of profit by the government, termination by the government prior to the expiration of the term and non-renewal by the government.
A significant portion of our business depends on our ability to provide surety bonds. We may be unable to compete for or work on certain projects if we are not able to obtain the necessary surety bonds.Our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies and provide to our customers payment and performance bonds as a condition to the award of such contracts. Such surety bonds secure our payment and performance obligations.
Surety market conditions have in recent years become more difficult due to the economy and the regulatory environment. Consequently, less overall bonding capacity is available in the market than in the past, and surety bonds have become more expensive and restrictive. Further, under standard terms in the surety market, surety companies issue bonds on aproject-by-project basis and can decline to issue bonds at any time or require the posting of additional collateral as a condition to issuing any bonds.
Current or future market conditions, as well as changes in our sureties’ assessment of our or their own operating and financial risk, could cause our surety companies to decline to issue, or substantially reduce the amount of, bonds for our work and could increase our bonding costs. These actions can be taken on short notice. If our surety companies were to limit or eliminate our access to bonding, our alternatives would include seeking bonding capacity from other surety companies, increasing business with clients that do not require bonds and posting other forms of collateral for project performance, such as letters of credit or cash. We may be unable to secure these alternatives in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Accordingly, if we were to experience an interruption or reduction in the availability of bonding capacity, we may be unable to compete for or work on certain projects.
We are effectively self-insured against many potential liabilities.Although we maintain insurance policies with respect to a broad range of risks, including automobile liability, general liability, workers’ compensation and employee group health, these policies do not cover all possible claims and certain of the policies are subject to large deductibles. Accordingly, we are effectively self-insured for a substantial number of actual and potential claims. In addition, if any of our insurance carriers defaulted on its obligations to provide insurance coverage by reason of its insolvency or for other reasons, our exposure to claims would increase and our profits would be adversely affected. Our estimates for unpaid claims and expenses are based on known facts, historical trends and industry averages, utilizing the assistance of an actuary. We reflect these liabilities in our balance sheet as “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” and “Other long-term obligations.” The determination of such estimated liabilities and their appropriateness are reviewed and updated at least quarterly. However, these liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to many relevant factors, the effects of which are often unknown, including the severity of an injury or damage, the determination of liability in proportion to other parties, the timeliness of reported claims, the effectiveness of our risk management and safety programs and the terms and conditions of our insurance policies. Our accruals are based upon known facts, historical trends and our reasonable estimate of future expenses, and we believe such accruals are adequate. However, unknown or changing trends, risks or circumstances, such as increases in claims, a weakening economy, increases in medical costs, changes in case law or legislation or changes in the nature of the work we perform, could render our current estimates and accruals inadequate. In such case, adjustments to our balance sheet may be required and these increased liabilities would be recorded in the period that the experience becomes known. Insurance carriers may be unwilling, in the future, to provide our current levels of coverage without a significant increase in insurance premiumsand/or collateral requirements to cover our obligations to them. Increased collateral requirements may be in the form of additional letters of credit, and an increase in collateral requirements could significantly reduce our liquidity. If insurance premiums increase,and/or if insurance claims are higher than our estimates, our profitability could be adversely affected.

Our customers seek to minimize safety risks on their sites and they frequently review the safety records of contractors during the bidding process. If our safety record were to substantially deteriorate over time, we might become ineligible to bid on certain work and our customers could cancel our contracts and not award us future business.
If we fail to integrate future acquisitions successfully, this could adversely affect our business and results of operations.As part of our growth strategy, we acquire companies that expand, complementand/or diversify our business. FutureRealization of the anticipated benefits of an acquisition will depend, among other things, upon our ability to integrate the acquired business successfully with our other operations and gain greater efficiencies and scale that will translate into reduced costs in a timely manner. However, there can be no assurance that an acquisition we may make in the future will provide the benefits anticipated when entering into the transaction. Acquisitions we have made and future acquisitions may expose us to operational challenges and risks, including the diversion of management’s attention from our existing business, the failure to retain key personnel or customers of an acquired business, the assumption of unknown liabilities of the acquired business for which there are inadequate reserves and the potential impairment of acquired identifiable intangible assets, including goodwill. Our ability to sustain our growth and maintain our competitive position may be affected by our ability to identify and acquire desirable businesses and successfully integrate any businesses acquired.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected as a result of goodwill and other identifiable intangible asset impairments.When we acquire a business, we record an asset called “goodwill” equal to the excess amount paid for the business,
including liabilities assumed, over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the business acquired. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles — “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) provides that goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead must be tested at least annually for impairment, and identifiable intangible assets that have finite useful lives should continue to be amortized over their useful lives and be tested for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be fully recoverable. ASC 350 also provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and othernon-amortized identifiable intangible assets for impairment, which we test annually each October 1. ASC 350 requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions to allocate goodwill to reporting units and to determine the fair value of reporting unit net assets and liabilities. Such fair value is determined using discounted estimated future cash flows. Our development of the present value of future cash flow projections is based upon assumptions and estimates by management from a review of our operating results, business plans, anticipated growth rates and margins and the weighted average cost of capital, among others. Much of the information used in assessing fair value is outside the control of management, such as interest rates, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans or anticipated growth ratesand/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required as we were in the second and third quarters of 2010 and in the fourth quarter of 2009, to record goodwilland/or identifiable intangible asset impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing on October 1, 20112012 or earlier, if an indicator of an impairment is present prior to the quarter in which the annual goodwill impairment test is to be performed. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such additional impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such a charge would be material to our results of operations.
The annual impairment review of our indefinite lived intangible assets infor the second and third quarters of 2010year ended December 31, 2011 resulted in an additional $35.5a $3.8 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in the fair value of various trade names and customer relationships associated with certain prior year acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services segment. Additionally, we performed our annual impairment test as of October 1, and no additionalWe did not record an impairment of our goodwill trade names and/or other identifiable intangible assets was recognized for any of our reporting segments in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Amounts included in our backlog may not result in actual revenues or translate into profits.Many of the contracts in our backlog do not require the purchase of a minimum amount of services. In addition, many contracts are subject to cancellation or suspension on short notice at the discretion of the client, and the contracts in our backlog are subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided as well as adjustments to the costs relating to the contract. We have historically experienced variances in the components of backlog related to project delays or cancellations resulting from weather conditions, external market factors and economic factors beyond our control, and we may experience more delays or cancellations in the future than in the past due to the

We account for the majority of our construction projects using thepercentage-of-completion method of accounting; therefore, variations of actual results from our assumptions may reduce our profitability.We recognize revenues on construction contracts using thepercentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic605-35, “Revenue Recognition — Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. See Application of Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Under thepercentage-of-completion method of accounting, we record revenue as work on the contract progresses. The cumulative amount of revenues recorded on a contract at a specified point in time is that percentage of total estimated revenues that costs incurred to date bear to estimated total costs. Accordingly, contract revenues and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised as the work progresses. Adjustments are reflected in contract revenues in the period when such estimates are revised. Estimates are based on management’s reasonable assumptions and experience, but are only estimates. Variations of actual results from assumptions on an unusually large project or on a number of average size projects could be material. We are also required to immediately recognize the full amount of the estimated loss on a contract when estimates indicate such a loss. Such adjustments and accrued losses could result in reduced profitability, which could negatively impact our cash flow from operations.
The loss of one or a few customers could have an adverse effect on us.A few clients have in the past and may in the future account for a significant portion of our revenues in any one year or over a period of several consecutive years. Although we have
long-standing relationships with many of our significant clients, our clients may unilaterally reduce or discontinue their contracts with us at any time. A loss of business from a significant client could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Certain provisions of our corporate governance documents could make an acquisition of us, or a substantial interest in us, more difficult.The following provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as currently in effect, as well as Delaware law, could discourage potential proposals to acquire us, delay or prevent a change in control of us, or limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock:
our certificate of incorporation permits our board of directors to issue “blank check” preferred stock and to adopt amendments to our bylaws;
our bylaws contain restrictions regarding the right of our stockholders to nominate directors and to submit proposals to be considered at stockholder meetings;
our certificate of incorporation and bylaws restrict the right of our stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders and to act by written consent; and
we are subject to provisions of Delaware law, which prohibit us from engaging in any of a broad range of business transactions with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date such stockholder becomes classified as an interested stockholder.

2011 was a possibleyear in which we continued to reposition EMCOR by adding three companies to our portfolio, which extended and further strengthened our service offerings to new and existing customers. Additionally during the year, we sold our operations in Canada, as it was determined that it was no longer a strategic fit. Our results for 2011 demonstrate that we continue to successfully execute our work, taken as whole, on all fronts, despite the pricing challenges posed by the current economic recovery, weenvironment and integrating our new acquisitions. We continue to see a hesitation by many of our customers to commit to capital and maintenance projects particularly in the private nonresidential building and refinery markets. In addition, we continue to experience a very competitive marketplace wherein which there are a significant number of bidders willing to work at extremely low margins on any given project. Consequently,project across all of our businesses. Despite this, we temperedcontinue to replace our expectations regardingbacklog with profitable work that delivers cost effective solutions and value to our customers throughout the strengthUnited States and United Kingdom.
The increase in revenues for 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily attributable to: (a) revenues of a near term recoveryapproximately $407.1 million generated by companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, which are reported within our United States facilities services and our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segments, (b) an increase in revenues in our United States facilities services segment, excluding revenues attributable to acquisitions in 2011 and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $246.1 million during 2010. This non-cash impairment charge was comprised of $210.6 million for goodwill and $35.5 million for certain of2010, particularly within our trade names. Because of these non-cash impairment charges, lower margin work and a decline in demand, our 2010 results reflected an overall decline in our revenues and operating results compared to 2009.
The increase in operating income and (c)operating margin (operating income as a declinepercentage of revenues) for 2011, when compared to 2010, was primarily a result of: (a) higher operating income from our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment and (b) excluding operating income from acquisitions in organic revenues arising2011 and 2010, higher operating income from our United States facilities services segment due to the economic slowdown. During 2010, companies we acquired in 2010 and 2009,segment. Acquisitions that are within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment,and our United States facilities services segments contributed $66.3 million to revenues and $1.3$3.3 million to operating income, (net of $2.3including $12.5 million of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses).
offset by: (a) the favorable resolution of uncertainties on certain construction projects at or nearing completion within our domestic construction segments, (b) the favorable resolution of an historical legal claim on a healthcare construction project withinlower operating income from our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, excluding operating income from the 2011 acquisition in this segment, (b) lower operating income from our United Kingdom operations and (c) reduced selling, general and administrative expenseslower operating income, primarily as a result of $4.7 million of transaction costs associated with a reduction in2011 acquisition and higher employment costs within our provision for doubtful accounts due to favorable settlements of amounts previously determined to be uncollectible and lower employment costs.United States facilities services segment.

We acquired three companies during 2011. In June 2011, we acquired USM Services Holdings, Inc. (“USM”), which is a reductionleading provider of facilities maintenance services, and in accruals for payroll and benefits and a one-time contribution of $25.9 million to a defined benefit pension plan of our United Kingdom subsidiary.

In August 2011, we disposed of our entire interest in our Canadian subsidiary, which represented our Canada construction segment, to a group of investors, including members of the former subsidiary’s management team. We received approximately $17.3 million in payment for the shares. In addition, we also received approximately $26.4 million in repayment of indebtedness owed by our Canadian subsidiary to us. Net income from discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $9.1 million, net of income taxes. Included in the net income from discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2011 was a gain on sale of $9.1 million (net of income tax provision of $2.8 million) resulting from the sale of the subsidiary.
On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. During 2011, we repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock for approximately $27.5 million. As of December 31, 2011, there remained authorization for us to repurchase approximately $72.5 million of our shares. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. Acquisitions under our repurchase program may be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The repurchase program has been and will be funded from the Company’s internal funds.
Operating Segments
Our reportable segments reflect certain reclassifications of prior year amounts from our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment to our United States facilities services segment due to changes in our internal reporting structure.
We have the following reportable segments which provide services associated with the design, integration, installation,start-up, operation and maintenance of various systems: (a) United States electrical construction and facilities services (involving systems for electrical power transmission and distribution; premises electrical and lighting systems; low-voltage systems, such as fire alarm, security and process control; voice and data communication; roadway and transit lighting; and fiber optic lines); (b) United States mechanical construction and facilities services (involving systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation; fire protection; plumbing, process and high-purity piping; controls and filtration; water and wastewater treatment; and central plant heating and cooling)cooling; cranes and rigging; millwrighting; and steel fabrication, erection and welding); (c) United States facilities services; (d) Canada construction; (e) United Kingdom construction and facilities services; and (f)(e) Other international construction and facilities services.

Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
Revenues
As described in more detail below, revenues for 20102011 were $5.1$5.6 billion compared to $5.5$4.9 billion for 20092010 and $6.8$5.2 billion for 2008. 2009. The increase in revenues for 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily attributable to: (a) revenues of approximately $407.1 million generated by companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, which are reported within our United States facilities services and our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segments, (b) increased revenues in our United States facilities services segment, excluding revenues attributable to acquisitions in 2011 and 2010, particularly within our industrial services, mobile mechanical and government services markets and (c) an increase in revenues from our United Kingdom operations. The results of our United Kingdom operations were also impacted by the effect of favorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar.
The decrease in revenues for 2010 compared to 2009, excluding the effect ofrevenues attributable to acquisitions in 2010 and 2009, extended across all of our business segments and was primarily attributable to: (a) lower levels of workrevenues in both our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment and our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, most notably with respect to industrial construction projects and a continued decline in work performed on commercial and hospitality construction projects, (b) continued lower revenues from our internationalUnited Kingdom operations, (c) lower revenues from our United States facilities services segment, particularly within our industrial services and our organic mobile mechanical services operations, and (d) the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. This decrease in revenues was partially offset by revenues of $66.3 million attributable togenerated by companies acquired in 2010 and 2009, which are reported in our United States facilities services segment, and the effect of favorable exchange rates for the Canadian dollar versus the United States dollar. Revenues decreased in 2009segment.
Our backlog at December 31, 2011 was $3.3 billion, compared to 2008 primarily due to: (a) the economic slowdown and restrictive credit markets, which resulted in (i) lower levels$3.1 billion of work in our United States electrical construction and facilities services and mechanical construction and facilities services segments, most notably on commercial and hospitality construction projects, (ii) lower revenues from our United States facilities services segment, most notably from our mobile mechanical services and our industrial services operations and (iii) lower revenues from our international operations and (b) the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound and Canadian dollar versus the United States dollar. This decrease was partially offset by revenues of $107.8 million attributable to companies acquired in 2009 and 2008, which are reported within our United States facilities services and United States mechanical construction and facilities services segments.

Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were $1,155.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to revenues of $1,158.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The slight decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a continued decline in revenues from hospitality construction projects, principally in the Las Vegas market as we substantially completed work on our last major project within that market, and lower revenues from transportation construction projects. This decrease was mostly offset by increased revenues
from industrial, commercial, and water and wastewater construction projects. We continue to exercise discipline in taking on projects in the current economic environment, and we accept work only when we believe it can be performed at a reasonable margin.
Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment for 2010 decreased by $114.8 million compared to 2009. The decrease in revenues for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily attributable to lower levels of work on industrial construction projects, most notably in the Northern California and Pacific Northwest markets, and on commercial and transportation construction projects. Additionally, the decrease in revenues was partially attributable to a continued decline in work on hospitality construction projects, principally in the Las Vegas market. These decreases are a result of the current economic downturn and our decision to only accept work that we believe can be performed at reasonable margins. TheThis 2010 decrease in revenues was partially offset by an increase in revenues from water/wastewater, healthcare and institutional construction projects. Revenues were $1,273.7 million in 2009 compared to $1,700.5 million in 2008. This decrease in 2009 was primarily attributable to lower levels of work on commercial, hospitality, industrial and institutional construction projects, most notably in the New York, greater Chicago area (including northern Indiana), Las Vegas, and Washington D.C. markets, as a result of the economic downturn and tight credit markets.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment revenues for 2010the year ended December 31, 2011 were $1,708.4$1,904.5 million, a 12.8% decrease$196.1 million increase compared to revenues of $1,959.9$1,708.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to revenues of approximately $186.4 million generated by a company acquired in 2011. Revenues from this segment for the year ended December 31, 2011, excluding revenues attributable to the 2011 acquisition in this segment, also increased compared to the same period in 2010. This slight increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased work on commercial and industrial construction projects, offset in part by a continued decline in revenues from hospitality construction projects, primarily in the Las Vegas market, as we substantially completed work on our last major project in that market, and water and wastewater construction projects primarily in the South Florida market.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment revenues for 2010 decreased by $251.5 million compared to 2009. The decrease in revenues for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily attributable to reduced work on industrial, commercial and healthcare construction projects as a result of the current economic downturn and our decision to only accept work that we believe can be performed at reasonable margins. Additionally, the decrease in revenues was attributable to a decline in work on water/wastewater construction projects in the South Florida market and a continued decline in work on hospitality construction projects in the Las Vegas market.
Revenues for 2009 decreased by $460.1 million compared to 2008. This decrease in 2009 was primarily attributable to a decrease in work on hospitality construction projects, most notably in the Las Vegas market, and on commercial construction projects. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by an increase in revenues from work performed on industrial, institutional and healthcare construction projects. Additionally, the decrease in revenues was partially offset by revenues of $2.2 million from a company acquired in 2008.
Revenues of our United States facilities services segment increased by $28.7 million in 2010 compared to $1,493.6 million in 2009. TheThis increase in revenues for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily attributable to revenues of $66.3 million fromgenerated by companies acquired in 2010 and 2009, which perform mobile mechanical services and government infrastructure contracting services, and from an increase in revenues at our government and commercial site-based facilities services operations. This increase in revenues in 2010 was partially offset by a continued decline in revenues from: (a) our industrial services operation,operations, which hashad been adversely affected by a lower demand for our refinery and petrochemical services as a result of capital project curtailments and deferred maintenance, and (b) the organic operations within our mobile mechanical services operation, primarily as a result of fewer discretionary projects attributable to economic conditions. Revenues from this
Our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment decreased by $80.6revenues were $529.0 million in 20092011 compared to 2008.$462.4 million in 2010. This decreaseincrease in revenues was primarily attributable to lowergrowth in revenues from (a) our industrialfacilities services operations, (i) which benefited in 2008 from a significant turnaround/expansion contract at a refinery and (ii) which declined due to a dramatic decline in the demand for refined
23
Our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment revenues decreased by $38.1 million in 2010 compared to 2009. This decline in revenues was attributable to a decrease in revenues from institutional construction projects, partially offset by an increase in revenues from commercial construction projects. The decrease in revenues for 2010 was also attributable to a decrease of $6.7 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. Revenues were $500.5 million in 2009 compared to $666.0 million in 2008. Approximately $92.0 million of this decrease in 2009 revenues was a result of the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. In addition, this decrease in revenues was partially attributable to (a) a decrease in revenues relating to rail contracts as a result of the planned strategy to exit this market and (b) a decline in our United Kingdom’s construction business, partially offset by an increase in revenues from our United Kingdom’s facilities services business.
Other international construction and facilities services activities consisted of a venture in the Middle East. The results of the venture were accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In June 2010, we sold our equity interest in oura Middle East venture to our partner in the venture. As a result of this sale, we received $7.9 million and recognized a pretax gain in this amount, which is classified as a “Gain on sale of equity investment” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $733.9 million, an increase of $40.4 million compared to the gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $693.5 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to: (a) companies acquired in 2011 and 2010 within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services and our United States facilities services segments, which contributed $38.5 million to gross profit, net of amortization expense of $4.6 million attributable to identifiable intangible assets, (b) our United States facilities services segment, excluding gross profit from acquisitions in 2011 and 2010, primarily due to our industrial services operations and (c) our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. The increase in gross profit was also attributable to an increase of $1.9 million relating to the effect of favorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. These increases were partially offset by lower gross profit and gross profit margin from: (a) our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, excluding gross profit from the 2011 acquisition in this segment, primarily as a result of lower margin work acquired during the current economic environment and (b) our United Kingdom operations, whose construction business experienced project write-downs. Gross profit and gross profit margin for 2010 were favorably impacted by the resolution of an historical legal claim on a healthcare construction project in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and the receipt of a contract termination fee pursuant to the terms of a contract in our United Kingdom operations. Additionally in 2010, we recognized a pretax gain of $4.5 million by our energy services operations within our United States facilities services segment from the sale of our interest in a venture, which gain is classified as a component of “Cost of sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Our gross profit margin was 13.1% for 2011 compared to 14.3% for 2010. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily the result of lower gross profit margin at: (a) our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, excluding gross profit margin attributable to the 2011 acquisition in this segment, for reasons discussed in the preceding paragraph, (b) our United States facilities services segment, partially attributable to our acquisitions in 2011 and 2010, and the contract amendment mentioned above and (c) our United Kingdom operations. Additionally in 2010, we recognized a pretax gain of $4.5 million by our energy services operations within our United States facilities services segment as discussed in the preceding paragraph. The decrease in gross profit margin in 2011 was partially offset by higher gross profit margin at our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, primarily as a result of: (a) the favorable resolution of uncertainties upon the substantial completion of a hospitality construction project and (b) higher margins from certain transportation construction projects, as a result of claim settlements and better than anticipated project execution on other contracts.
Our gross profit decreased by $105.4$90.7 million for 2010 compared to 2009. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to reduced organic volume across all of our business segments, excluding gross profit from acquisitions in 2010 and 2009, and lower gross profit margins at: (a) our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment and (b) our industrial services and organic mobile mechanical services operations, excluding gross profit from acquisitions in 2010 and 2009, within our United States facilities services segment and (c) our Canada construction segment. The decrease in gross profit was also attributable to a decrease of $1.0 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. The overall decrease in gross profit was partially offset by: (a) the favorable resolution of uncertainties on certain construction projects at or nearing completion in the United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, (b) the favorable resolution of an historical legal claim on a healthcare construction project within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, (c) improved gross profit from our commercial and government site-based operations within our United States facilities services segment and (d) companies acquired in 2010 and 2009 within our United States facilities services segment, which contributed $5.6 million to gross profit, net of amortization expense of $1.6 million and (e) an increase of $3.2 million relatingattributable to the effect of favorable exchange rates for the Canadian dollar versus the United States dollar.identifiable intangible assets. In addition, the decrease in
gross profit was partially offset by: (a) an increase in gross profit contributed by our energy services operationoperations within our United States facilities services segment, primarily as a result of the recognition of a pretax gain of $4.5 million from the sale of our interest in a venture which gain is classified as a component of “Cost of sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and (b) favorable gross profit attributableassociated with the receipt of a contract termination fee pursuant to the terminationterms of a contract within our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment.

This increase was primarily attributable to: (a) $35.2 million of expenses directly related to companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, including amortization expense of $7.9 million attributable to identifiable intangible assets and (b) transaction costs of $4.7 million associated with the acquisition of USM during 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2010 benefited from a reduction in our provision for doubtful accounts due to the favorable settlements of amounts previously determined to be uncollectible. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to higher overall revenues and reduced discretionary spending.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $45.1$45.2 million for 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to: (a) reduced employee costs, such as salaries, commissions and incentive compensation, primarily as a result of the downsizing of staff at numerous locations in 2009 and lower operating results and (b) a reduction in our provision for doubtful accounts due to favorable settlements of amounts previously determined to be uncollectible. These decreases were partially offset by: (a)by $4.3 million of expenses directly related to companies acquired in 2010 and 2009, including amortization expense of $0.7 million and (b) a $2.5 million increase dueattributable to the effect of exchange rates for the Canadian dollar versus the United States dollar.identifiable intangible assets. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for 2010 compared to 2009, primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Impairment loss on goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
In conjunction with our 2011 annual impairment test on October 1, we recognized a $3.8 million non-cash impairment charge related to customer relationships and trade names within the United States facilities services segment. The 2011 impairment primarily results from both lower forecasted revenues from and operating margins at specific companies within this segment.
During the third quarter of 2010 and prior to our October 1 annual impairment test, we concluded that impairment indicators may have existed within the United States facilities services segment based upon the year to date results and recent forecasts at that time. As a result of that conclusion, we performed the applicable tests as prescribed by the accounting literature and recognized a $226.2 million non-cash impairment charge in 2010.charge. Of this amount, $210.6 million related to goodwill and $15.6 million related to trade names. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a $19.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to trade names. The impairment primarily results from both lower forecasted revenues from and operating margins atAll of these impairments were within our United States facilities services segment, which has been adversely affected by industry conditions. These impairments did not have any impact on our compliance with our debt covenants or on our cash flows. Additionally, we performed our annual impairment test as of October 1, and no additional impairment of our goodwill, trade namesand/or other identifiable intangible assets was recognized for any of our reporting segments in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The 2010 operating loss was due to the impairment loss on goodwill and identifiable intangible assets of $246.1 million.
Operating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment was $84.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to operating income of $70.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in operating income for 2011 compared to 2010 primarily resulted from an increase in gross profit from: (a) water and wastewater construction projects, primarily in the New York market, (b) commercial, transportation and healthcare construction projects and (c) smaller quick turn project work. In addition, operating income in 2011 benefited from the favorable resolution of uncertainties on a substantially complete hospitality construction project. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in gross profit attributable to institutional construction projects and lower operating income from certain of our Southern California operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2011, principally due to lower employment costs, such as salaries and employee benefits. The increase in operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily the result of an increase in gross profit margin and a decrease in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expense to revenues.
Operating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment for 2010 decreased by $44.1 million compared to 2009. The decrease in operating income in 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily the result of lower gross profit from commercial and industrial construction projects, as a result of the current economic slowdown and our selectivity in bidding on contracts. The decrease in operating income for 2010 was partially offset by an increase in the gross profit from water/wastewater construction projects. Selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased for 2010 compared to 2009, principally due to reduced employee costs, such as salaries, incentive compensation and employee benefits, primarily as a result of the downsizing of staff at numerous locations in 2009 and lower operating results. The decrease in operating margin for 2010 was primarily the result of a reduction in gross profit margin. Operating
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment operating income improved by $0.1for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $117.0 million, a $14.3 million decrease compared to operating income of $131.3 million for 2009 compared to 2008.the year ended December 31, 2010. The increasedecrease in operating income in 2009for 2011 compared to 20082010, excluding operating income from the 2011 acquisition in this segment, was primarily the result of an increase indue to lower gross profit from industrial, commercial and transportationinstitutional construction projects, as a result of the current economic environment and our selectivity in bidding on contracts. Additionally, 2010 benefited from the resolution of an historical legal claim on a healthcare construction project. This decline was partially offset by an increase in operating income from: (a) a company acquired in 2011, which contributed approximately $7.1 million of operating income, net of amortization expense of $3.2 million, (b) gross profit associated with hospitality construction projects, as a result of, among other things, the favorable resolution of uncertainties on current projects at or nearing completion. This increase was offset by lowerand the settlement of a long outstanding construction claim and (c) gross profit from commercial, hospitality and institutionalhealthcare construction projects.

The decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts consistent with a reduction in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in legal expenses associated with the resolution of construction claims. The increase in the operating margin for 2009 isthe year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily the result of increaseda reduction in gross profit margin.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment operating income for 2010 was $131.3 million, aincreased by $1.6 million increase compared to 2009.

Operating income for 2009 increased by $2.1of our United States facilities services segment was $68.1 million compared to 2008.and $60.0 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in operating income in 2009for 2011 compared to 20082010 was primarily due to: (a) increased gross profitsto higher operating income from our industrial healthcare and institutional construction projects and the turnaroundservices operations, which have seen an increase in demand for our services in the performance of one of our operations, which had experienced largerefinery and petrochemical markets. The increase in operating losses in 2008, (b) a charge to expense in 2008 of $7.9 million in connection with the UOSA Action and (c) a $1.0 million reduction in amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets in 2009 compared to 2008. This increaseincome for 2011 was partially offset by notably lower gross profitoperating income from lower margins on project work attributable to several project write-downs, the largest of which is due to a decline in commercialdifficult job site conditions, and hospitality constructionlower margins on projects primarily in the Las Vegas market, as a result of the competitive market in the current economic slowdown.environment. Additionally in 2010, our energy services operations benefited from the recognition of a pretax gain of $4.5 million from the sale of our interest in a venture, which gain is classified as a component of “Cost of sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Companies acquired in 2011 and 2010 negatively impacted operating income by $3.8 million, including $9.2 million of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets. Selling, general and administrative expenses were lowerincreased by $6.4 million for 2011 compared to 2010, excluding the increase of $16.7 million of selling, general and administrative expenses associated with companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, including amortization expense of $6.0 million. This increase was primarily dueattributable to lower employeean increase in employment costs such as salaries, employee benefits,bonuses and incentive compensation, primarily as a result of downsizing of staff at numerous locations, lower discretionary spending, such as travel and entertainment and professional fees, and acommissions due to higher volume. The decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts consistent with a reduction in accounts receivable. The increase in operating margin for 2009 is2011 was primarily the result of increaseda reduction in the gross profit margin.
Operating income of our United States facilities services segment operating income for 2010 was $60.0 million, adecreased by $13.7 million decreasein 2010 compared to 2009. The decrease in operating income for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to lower operating income from: (a) our industrial services operation which hashad been adversely affected by a lower demand for our refinery and petrochemical services as a result of capital project curtailments and deferred maintenance and lower gross profit margins and (b) our organic mobile mechanical services operation as a result of fewer discretionary projects due to the continued effects of the economic slowdown and lower gross profit margins, primarily as a result of lower margins on recently acquired
projects. The decrease in operating income for 2010 was partially offset by improved results from our commercial and government site-based operations and operating income from companies acquired in 2010 and 2009, which perform mobile mechanical services and government infrastructure contracting services and contributed $1.3 million of operating income, net of amortization expense of $2.3 million.million attributable to identifiable intangible assets. In addition, these decreases were partially offset by an increase in operating income for 2010 from our energy services operation, primarily as a result of the recognition of a pretax gain of $4.5 million from the sale of our interest in a venture, which gain is classified as a component of “Cost of sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.venture. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $8.0 million for 2010 compared to 2009, excluding the increase of $4.3 million of selling, general and administrative expenses associated with companies acquired in 2010 and 2009, including amortization expense of $0.7 million, due to reduced employee costs, such as salaries and commissions, primarily as a result of the downsizing of staff at numerous locations in 2009 and due to lower revenues. In addition, the decrease was due to a reduction in our provision for doubtful accounts. These decreases were partially offset by increased professional fees. The decrease in operating margin for 2010 was primarily the result of a reduction in gross profit margin. Operating income for 2009 was $73.7 million compared to $103.7 million for 2008. The decrease in operating income for 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to lower operating income from (a) our industrial service operations, (i) which benefited in 2008 from a significant turnaround/expansion contract at a refinery and (ii) which declined due to a dramatic decline in the demand for refined products which resulted in lower demand for our shop and field refinery and petrochemical services and (b) our mobile mechanical services operation as a result of reduced small discretionary projects, controls work and repair services due to the economic downturn and the cooler than normal summer in some of our major markets. The decrease in operating income in 2009 was partially offset by: (a) operating income from companies acquired in 2009 and 2008, which contributed $3.0 million of operating income, net of amortization expense of $4.4 million, and which perform maintenance services at utility and industrial plants and perform mobile mechanical services, (b) a $3.4 million reduction in amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets in 2009 and (c) an increase in operating income from our site-based government facilities services operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $10.7 million in 2009 compared to 2008, excluding the increase of $7.3 million of selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the companies acquired in 2009 and 2008, including amortization expense of $1.6 million, due to lower incentive compensation expense and professional fees and a decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts consistent with a reduction in accounts receivable. Negatively impacting operating income in 2008 was a $7.0 million impairment charge related to another-than-temporary decline in fair value of our investment in a venture, which has been reflected as a component of “Cost of sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment operating income increased by $3.7 million in 2010 compared to 2009. The increase in operating income for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily attributable to the decrease in the actuarially determined pension costs associated with the curtailment of our United Kingdom defined pension plan and the favorable gross profit associated with the receipt of a contract termination fee pursuant to the terms of a contract. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. The increase in operating margin for 2010 was brought about by a combination of increased gross profit margins and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues. Operating income for 2009 was $12.0 million compared to $14.4 million in 2008. The decrease in operating income for 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily attributable to: (a) a decrease of $2.2 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar and (b) an increase in the actuarially determined pension costs associated with our United Kingdom defined pension plan. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in operating income at the United Kingdom’s construction business and as a result of the wind down of the rail division in 2009 as compared to 2008.
In June 2010, we sold our equity interest in oura Middle East venture to our partner in the venture. As a result of this sale, we received $7.9 million and recognized a pretax gain in this amount, which is classified as a “Gain on sale of equity investment” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Our corporate administration expenses were $63.1 million for 2011 compared to $55.9 million for 2010 compared to $63.3 million in 2009.2010. The decreaseincrease in expenses for 2011 as compared to 2010 comparedis primarily attributable to $4.7 million of transaction costs associated with the acquisition of USM during 2011 and higher incentive compensation costs. This increase was partially offset by reduced employee costs, such as salaries, as a result of the restructuring at our corporate headquarters earlier in 2011. The decrease of $7.0 million in expenses comparing 2010 to 2009 was primarily attributable to a continued decreasedecline in incentive compensation, marketing and advertising expenses, as well as lower professional fees. Our corporate administration expenses for 2009 decreased by $2.6 million compared to 2008. The decrease in expenses for 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily attributable to: (a) a decrease in marketing and advertising expenses, (b) lower incentive compensation expense and (c) a decrease in expenses related to meetings and conferences. In addition, our corporate administration costs in 2009 compared to 2008 were unfavorably impacted by the changes in the value of our phantom stock units, which vary with our stock price. Certain of the phantom stock units were settled in cash during the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, and no units are currently outstanding.
Non-operating items
Interest expense was $11.3 million, $12.2 million and $7.9 million for 2011, 2010 and $11.82009, respectively. The $0.9 million decrease in interest expense for 2011 compared to 2010 2009was primarily due to lower interest rates. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.4 million associated with the acceleration of some of these costs in conjunction with the amendment and 2008, respectively.restatement of our credit facility in 2011. The $4.3 million increase in interest expense for 2010 compared to 2009 was due to higher cost of borrowing and the acceleration of expense for debt issuance costs associated with the termination of a term loan and a revolvingthe amendment and restatement of our credit facility. The $3.9 million decreasefacility in interest expense for 2009 compared to 2008 was related to the reduction in long-term indebtedness and lower interest rates as compared to 2008.
Interest income was $1.8 million, $2.7 million and $4.7 million for 2011, 2010 and $9.9 million for 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The decreases in interest income were primarily related to lower interest rates earned on our invested cash balances.
The $7.9 million “Gain on sale of equity investment” in 2010 was attributable to the June 2010 sale of our equity interest in oura Middle East venture to our partner in the venture, the operating results of which have been reported in our Other international construction and facilities services segment.
For joint ventures that have been accounted for using the consolidation method of accounting, noncontrolling interest represents the allocation of earnings to our joint venture partners who either have a minority-ownership interest in the joint venture or are not at risk for the majority of losses of the joint venture.
Our 20102011 income tax provision from continuing operations was $52.4$76.8 million compared to $96.2$53.7 million for 20092010 and $116.6$92.6 million for 20082009 based on effective income tax rates, before the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges, of approximately 36.8%38.7%, 37.4%37.2% and 39.0%37.8%,

Discontinued operations
In August 2011, we disposed of our entire interest in our Canadian subsidiary, which represented our Canada construction segment, to a group of investors, including members of the former subsidiary’s management team. We received approximately $17.3 million in payment for the shares. In addition, we also received approximately $26.4 million in repayment of indebtedness owed by our Canadian subsidiary to us. Proceeds from the sale of discontinued operation, net of cash sold, totaled $26.6 million. Net income from discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $9.1 million, net of income taxes. Included in the net income from discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2011 was a gain on sale of $9.1 million (net of income tax provision was $96.2 million.of $2.8 million) resulting from the sale of the subsidiary. The decreasegain on sale of discontinued operation includes $15.5 million related to amounts previously reported in our 2009 income tax provision was primarily due to reduced income before income taxes compared to 2008. Our 2008 income tax provision was $116.6 million.

The following table presents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 20102011 and 20092010 (in millions):

Our consolidated cash balance decreased by approximately $199.5 million from $710.8 million at December 31, 2010 to $511.3 million at December 31, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities for 2011 of $149.4 million, compared to $69.5 million in net cash provided by operating activities for 2010, was primarily due to improved operating results and changes in our working capital. Additionally in 2010, we made a $25.9 million one-time supplemental contribution to the United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan. Net cash used in investing activities was $320.5 million for 2011 compared to $32.7 million used in 2010. This increase was primarily due to a $262.5 million increase in payments for acquisitions of businesses, a $10.2 million increase in amounts paid for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and a $17.6 million increase in short-term investments. Net cash used in financing activities for 2011 was $29.3 million compared to $48.0 million used in 2010. This decrease was primarily attributable to the repayment of our term loan and debt issuance costs in 2010, partially offset by the $27.5 million used to repurchase our common stock in 2011. The non-cash impairment charges did not have any impact on our compliance with our debt covenants or on our cash flows.
Our consolidated cash balance decreased by approximately $16.1 million from $727.0 million at December 31, 2009 to $710.8 million at December 31, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities for 2010 of $68.7$69.5 million, compared to $359.1$360.8 million in
net cash provided by operating activities for 2009, was primarily due to lower operating results, changes in our working capital, including a reduction in accruals for payroll and benefits and a one-time contribution of $25.9 million to athe United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan of our United Kingdom subsidiary.plan. Net cash used in investing activities was $32.7 million for 2010 compared to $52.6 million used in 2009. This decrease was primarily due to $25.6 million of proceeds from the sale of equity investments, a $7.9 million decrease in investments in and advances to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures, a $4.7 million decrease in amounts paid for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and a $4.4 million decrease in payments pursuant to earn-out agreements, offset by a $22.6 million increase in payments for acquisitions of businesses. Net cash used in financing activities for 2010 of $47.2increased by $48.1 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities for 2009, of $1.7 million, was primarily attributable to repayment of our term loan and debt issuance costs, partially offset by borrowings under our new revolving credit facility. The non-cash impairment charges did not have any impact on our compliance with our debt covenants or on our cash flows.

Until February 4, 2010,November 21, 2011, we had a revolving credit agreement (the “Old“2010 Revolving Credit Facility”) as amended, which provided for a credit facility of $550.0 million. The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility was effective February 4, 2010 and replaced an earlier revolving credit facility (the “2005 Revolving Credit Facility”) of $375.0 million. Effective February 4, 2010,November 21, 2011, we replaced the Old2010 Revolving Credit Facility that was due to expire October 17, 2010February 4, 2013 with an amended and restated $550.0$750.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2010“2011 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2013. ItNovember 2016 and permits us to increase our borrowing to $650.0$900.0 million if additional lenders are identifiedand/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments. We may allocate up to $175.0$250.0 million of the borrowing capacity under the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility to letters of credit, which amount compares to $175.0 million under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility and $125.0 million under the Old2005 Revolving Credit Facility. The 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our direct and
indirect subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of our assets and most of the assets of most of our subsidiaries. The 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants requiring,providing for, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain restrictions with respect tolimitations on payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness and capital expenditures. A commitment fee is payable on the average daily unused amount of the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility.Facility, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.35%, based on certain financial tests. The fee is 0.5%0.25% of the unused amount.amount as of December 31, 2011. Borrowings under the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (3.25% at December 31, 2010)2011) plus 1.75%0.50% to 2.25%1.00%, based on certain financial tests or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.26%(0.30% at December 31, 2010)2011) plus 2.75%1.50% to 3.25%2.00%, based on certain financial tests. The interest rate in effect at December 31, 20102011 was 3.01%1.80%. Letter of credit fees issued under this facility range from 2.75%1.50% to 3.25%2.00% of the respective face amounts of the letters of credit issued and are charged based on certain financial tests. We capitalized approximately $6.0$4.1 million of debt issuance costs associated with the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility. This amount is being amortized over the life of the facility and is included as part of interest expense. In connection with the termination of the Old2010 Revolving Credit Facility, less than $0.1$0.4 million attributable to the acceleration of expense for debt issuance costs in connection with the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility was recorded as part of interest expense. As of December 31, 20102011 and December 31, 2009,2010, we had approximately $82.4$83.1 million and $68.9$82.4 million of letters of credit outstanding, respectively. There were no borrowings under the Old Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2009. We havehad borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2010, and we have borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2011, which remainsmay remain outstanding at our discretion until the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility expires. Based on the $150.0 million borrowings outstanding on the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility, if overall interest rates were to increase by 25 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would increase by approximately $0.2 million in the next twelve months. Conversely, if overall interest rates were to decrease by 25 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would decrease by approximately $0.2 million in the next twelve months.
On September 19, 2007, we entered into an agreement providing for a $300.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to pay a portion of the consideration for an acquisition and costs and expenses incident thereto. In connection with the closing of the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility, we proceeded to borrowborrowed $150.0 million under thisthat facility and used the proceeds along with cash on hand to prepay on February 4, 2010 all indebtedness outstanding under the Term Loan.Loan, which then terminated. In connection with this prepayment, $0.6 million attributable to the acceleration of expense for debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan was recorded as part of interest expense.
On January 27, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap, which hedged our interest rate risk associated with the Term Loan. We de-designated $45.5 million of the interest rate swap on December 31, 2009 as it was determined that it was no longer probable that the future estimated cash flows were going to occur as originally estimated. Accordingly, we discontinued the application of hedge accounting associated for this portion of the interest rate swap, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million was expensed as part of

One of our subsidiaries had a 40% interest in a venture that designs, constructs, owns, operates, leases and maintains facilities to produce chilled water for sale to customers for use in air conditioning commercial properties. The other venture partner, Baltimore Gas and Electric (a subsidiary of Constellation Energy), had a 60% interest in the venture. In 2009, the venture, using its own cash and cash from additional capital contributions, acquired its outstanding bonds in the principal amount of $25.0 million. As a result of this, we were required to make an additional capital contribution of $8.0 million to the venture. In January 2010, this venture, including our investment, was sold to a third party. As a result of this sale, we received an aggregate amount of $17.7 million for our 40% interest and recognized a pretax gain of $4.5 million, which gain is included in our United States facilities services segment and classified as a component of “Cost of Sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. During 2011, we repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock for approximately $27.5 million. As of December 31, 2011, there remained authorization for us to repurchase approximately $72.5 million of our shares. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. Acquisitions under our repurchase program may be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The repurchase program has been and will be funded from the Company’s internal funds.
The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies (“Surety Companies”) and provide to our customers payment and performance bonds (“Surety Bonds”) as a condition to the award of such contracts. The
Surety Bonds secure our payment and performance obligations under such contracts, and we have agreed to indemnify the Surety Companies for amounts, if any, paid by them in respect of Surety Bonds issued on our behalf. In addition, at the request of labor unions representing certain of our employees, Surety Bonds are sometimes provided to secure obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for such employees. Public sector contracts require Surety Bonds more frequently than private sector contracts, and accordingly, our bonding requirements typically increase as the amount of public sector work increases. As of December 31, 2010,2011, based on ourpercentage-of-completion of our projects covered by Surety Bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, assuming defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was approximately $1.4$1.2 billion. The Surety Bonds are issued by Surety Companies in return for premiums, which vary depending on the size and type of bond.
In recent years, there has been a reduction in the aggregate Surety Bond issuance capacity of Surety Companies due to the economy and the regulatory environment. Consequently, the availability of Surety Bonds has become more limited and the terms upon which Surety Bonds are available have become more restrictive. We continually monitor our available limits of Surety Bonds and discuss with our current and other Surety Bond providers the amount of Surety Bonds that may be available to us based on our financial strength and the absence of any default by us on any Surety Bond issued on our behalf. However, if we experience changes in our bonding relationships or if there are further changes in the surety industry, we may seek to satisfy certain customer requests for Surety Bonds by posting other forms of collateral in lieu of Surety Bonds such as letters of credit or guarantees by EMCOR Group, Inc., by seeking to convince customers to forego the requirement for Surety Bonds, by increasing our activities in business segments that rarely require Surety Bonds such as the facilities services segment,and/or by refraining from bidding for certain projects that require Surety Bonds. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectuate alternatives to providing Surety Bonds to our customers or to obtain, on favorable terms, sufficient additional work that does not require Surety Bonds to replace projects requiring Surety Bonds that we may decide not to pursue. Accordingly, if we were to experience a reduction in the availability of Surety Bonds, we could experience a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operationsand/or cash flows.
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, we are liable under such an arrangement only if our subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under the contract. Historically, we have not incurred any substantial liabilities as a consequence of these guarantees.
We do not have any other material financial guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed herein.
Our primary source of liquidity has been, and is expected to continue to be, cash generated by operating activities. We also maintain our 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility, that may be utilized, among other things, to meet short-term liquidity needs in the event cash generated by operating activities is insufficient or to enable us to seize opportunities to participate in joint ventures or to make acquisitions that may require access to cash on short notice or for any other reason. However, negative macroeconomic trends may have an adverse effect on liquidity. In addition to managing borrowings, our focus on the facilities services market is intended to provide an additional buffer against economic downturns inasmuch as a part of our facilities services business is characterized by annual and multi-year contracts that provide a more predictable stream of cash flow than the construction business. Short-term liquidity is also impacted by the type and length of construction contracts in place. During past economic downturns, there were typically fewer small discretionary projects from the private sector, and companies like us aggressively bid larger long-term infrastructure and public sector contracts. Performance of long duration contracts typically requires greater amounts of working capital. While we strive to maintain a net over-billed position with our customers, there can be no assurance that a net over-billed position can be maintained. Our net over-billings, defined as the balance sheet accounts “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” less “Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, were $368.4$326.9 million and $436.2$368.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, respectively.
Long-term liquidity requirements can be expected to be met through cash generated from operating activities and our 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility. Based upon our current credit ratings and financial position, we can reasonably expect to be able to incur long-term debt to fund acquisitions. Over the long term, our primary revenue risk factor continues to be the level of demand for non-

We do not expect the disposition of our Canadian subsidiary to have a material impact on our future liquidity.
We believe that current cash balances and our borrowing capacity available under the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility or other forms of financing available to us through borrowings, combined with cash expected to be generated from operations, will be
sufficient to provide our short-term and foreseeable long-term liquidity needs and meet our expected capital expenditure requirements. However, we are a party to lawsuits and other proceedings in which other parties seek to recover from us amounts ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $60.0$10.0 million. If we were required to pay damages in one or moreWe do not believe that any such proceedings, such payments couldmatters will have a materialmaterially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operationsand/or liquidity.
On September 26, 2011, we announced our plans to pay a regular quarterly dividend of $.05 per common share. We paid a quarterly dividend of $.05 per common share on October 25, 2011 and on January 31, 2012. Prior to October 25, 2011, no cash flows.
Certain Insurance Matters
As of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, we utilized approximately $82.2$82.9 million and $66.5$82.2 million, respectively, of letters of credit obtained under our 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility and the Oldour 2010 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, as collateral for insurance obligations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
We review new accounting standards to determine the expected financial impact, if any, that the adoption of such standards will have. As of the filing of this Annual Report onForm 10-K, there were no new accounting standards that were projected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further information regarding new accounting standards recently issuedand/or adopted by us.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are based on the application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of thisForm 10-K. We believe that some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of accounting policies that affect our financial condition and results of operations are the impact of changes in the estimates and judgments pertaining to: (a) revenue recognition from (i) long-term construction contracts for which thepercentage-of-completion method of accounting is used and (ii) services contracts; (b) collectibility or valuation of accounts receivable; (c) insurance liabilities; (d) income taxes; and (e) goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition from Long-term Construction Contracts and Services Contracts
We believe our most critical accounting policy is revenue recognition from long-term construction contracts for which we use thepercentage-of-completion method of accounting.Percentage-of-completion accounting is the prescribed method of accounting for long-term contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”, and, accordingly, is the method used for revenue recognition within our industry.Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Certain of our electrical contracting business units and our Canadian subsidiary measurepercentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract. Provisions for the entiretyApplication of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Application ofpercentage-of-completion accounting results in the recognition of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets arise when revenues have been recognized but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts also include amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and
unapproved change orders). Such amounts are recorded at estimated net realizable value and take into account factors that may affect our ability to bill unbilled revenues and collect amounts after billing. The profit associated with claim amounts is not recognized until the claim has been settled and payment has been received. As of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included unbilled revenues for unapproved change orders of approximately $14.5 million and $9.3 million, and $11.2 million,
33
Accounts Receivable
We are required to estimate the collectibility of accounts receivable. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of realization of receivables. Relevant assessment factors include the creditworthiness of the customer, our prior collection history with the customer and related aging of past due balances. The provision for (recovery of) doubtful accounts during 2011, 2010 decreased by $12.3 million compared to 2009. This decrease was due to the recovery of amounts previously determined to be uncollectible and a reduction in the 2010 provision. The provision for doubtful accounts during 2009 and 2008 amounted to approximately $7.2$2.2 million, $(5.1) million and $11.7$7.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, our accounts receivable of $1,090.9$1,187.8 million and $1,057.2$1,090.9 million, respectively, included allowances for doubtful accounts of $17.3$16.7 million and $36.2$17.3 million, respectively. The decrease in our allowancesallowance for doubtful accounts was due to the recovery of amounts previously determined to be uncollectible and the write-off of accounts receivable against the allowancesallowance for doubtful accounts. Specific accounts receivable are evaluated when we believe a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition or its credit ratings. The allowance for doubtful accounts requirements are based on the best facts available and are re-evaluated and adjusted on a regular basis as additional information is received.
Insurance Liabilities
We have loss payment deductibles for certain workers’ compensation, automobile liability, general liability and property claims, have self-insured retentions for certain other casualty claims, and are self-insured for employee-related health care claims. Losses are recorded based upon estimates of our liability for claims incurred and for claims incurred but not reported. The liabilities are derived from known facts, historical trends and industry averages utilizing the assistance of an actuary to determine the best estimate for the majority of these obligations. We believe the liabilities recognized on our balance sheets for these obligations are adequate. However, such obligations are difficult to assess and estimate due to numerous factors, including severity of injury, determination of liability in proportion to other parties, timely reporting of occurrences and effectiveness of safety and risk management programs. Therefore, if our actual experience differs from the assumptions and estimates used for recording the liabilities, adjustments may be required and will be recorded in the period that the experience becomes known.
Income Taxes
We had net deferred income tax assetsliabilities at December 31, 20102011 of $5.2$29.0 million and net deferred income tax liabilitiesassets of $6.8$5.2 million at December 31, 2009,2010, primarily resulting from differences between the carrying value and income tax basis of certain depreciable fixedidentifiable intangible assets and identifiable intangibledepreciable fixed assets, which will impact our taxable income in future periods. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred income tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, the total valuation allowance on gross deferred income tax assets was approximately $3.4 million and $0.8 million, and $4.0 million, respectively.
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
As of December 31, 2010,2011, we had $406.8$566.8 million and $245.1$370.4 million, respectively, of goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets (primarily consisting of our contract backlog, developed technology,technology/vendor network, customer relationships,
non-competition agreements and trade names), primarily arising out of the acquisition of companies. As of December 31, 2009,2010, goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets were $593.6$406.8 million and $264.5$245.1 million, respectively. The changes to goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets (net of accumulated amortization) since December 31, 20092010 were related to: (a) a non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill
34
We test for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level utilizing the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. The weighted average cost of capital used in our annual testing for impairment as of October 1, 2011 was 13.6% and 12.3% for our domestic construction segments and our United States facilities services segment, respectively. The perpetual growth rate used for our annual testing was 2.7% for our domestic segments. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2009, no impairment of our goodwill was recognized.
During the third quarter of 2010 and prior to our October 1 annual impairment test, we concluded that impairment indicators may have existed within the United States facilities services segment based upon the year to date results and recent forecasts. As a result of that conclusion, we performed a step one test as prescribed under ASC 350 for that particular reporting unit which concluded that impairment indicators existed within that reporting unit due to significant declines in year to date revenues and operating margins which caused us to revise our expectations for the strength of a near term recovery in our financial models for businesses within that reporting unit. Specifically, we reduced our net sales growth rates and operating margins within our discounted cash flow model, as well as our terminal value growth rates. In addition, we estimated a higher participant risk adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Therefore, the required second step of the assessment for the reporting unit was performed in which the implied fair value of that reporting unit’s goodwill was compared to the book value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, that is, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of those assets and liabilities of that unit (including both recognized and unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of that reporting unit’s goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess and is charged to operations. We determined the fair value of the reporting unit using discounted estimated future cash flows. The weighted average cost of capital used in testing for impairment at the interim date was 12.5% with a perpetual growth rate of 2.8% for our United States facilities services segment. As a result of our interim impairment assessment, we recognized a $210.6 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the third quarter of 2010. Additionally, we performed our annual impairment test as of October 1, and no additional impairment of our goodwill was recognized for any of our reporting segments in the fourth quarter of 2010. The weighted average cost of capital used in our annual testing for impairment was 13.2% and 12.2% for our domestic construction segments and our United States facilities services segment, respectively. The perpetual growth rate used for our annual testing was 3.0% for our domestic construction segments and 2.8% for our United States facilities services segment, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no impairment of our goodwill was recognized.
As of December 31, 2010,2011, we had $406.8$566.8 million of goodwill on our balance sheet and, of this amount, approximately 56.0%64.3% relates to our United States facilities services segment, approximately 43.1%35.0% relates to our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and approximately 0.9%0.7% relates to our United States electrical construction and facilities services
segment. As of the date of our latest impairment test, the fair values of our United States facilities services, United States mechanical construction and facilities services and United States electrical construction and facilities services segments exceeded their carrying values by approximately $50.6$88.3 million, $301.6$346.9 million and $337.8$285.6 million, respectively.
We also test for the impairment of trade names that are not subject to amortization by calculating the fair value using the “relief from royalty payments” methodology. This approach involves two steps: (a) estimating reasonable royalty rates for each trade name and (b) applying these royalty rates to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each trade name. If the carrying amount of the trade name is greater than the implied fair value of the trade name, an impairment in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. The annual impairment review of our trade names for the year ended December 31, 2011 resulted in a $1.0 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in the fair value of trade names associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services segment. During the second and third quarters of 2010, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $35.5 million associated with the fair value of trade names from prior acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services segment. The annual impairment review of our trade names for the year ended December 31, 2009 resulted in an $11.5 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in the fair value of trade names associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services and United States mechanical construction and facilities services segments. As a result of the continued assessment of the fair value of trade names previously impaired and the interim impairment testing performed during the second and third quarters of 2010, we recorded an additional $35.5 million non-cash impairment charge of trade names associated with certain prior year acquisitions. These trade names are reported within our United States facilities services segment. The current year impairment primarily results from both lower forecasted revenues from and operating margins at specific companies within our United States facilities services segment, which has been adversely affected by industry conditions. Additionally, we performed our annual impairment test as of October 1, and no additional impairment of our trade names was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2008, no impairment of our trade names was recognized.
35
Our development of the present value of future cash flow projections used in impairment testing is based upon assumptions and estimates by management from a review of our operating results, business plans, anticipated growth rates and margins and weighted average cost of capital, among others. Much of the information used in assessing fair value is outside the control of management, such as interest rates, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods. There can be no assurances that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans or anticipated growth ratesand/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required, as we weredid in the second and third quarters of2011, 2010 and in the fourth quarter of 2009 to record further goodwilland/or identifiable intangible asset impairment charges in future periods.
During 2010,2011, we recognized a $246.1$3.8 million non-cash impairment charge as discussed above. Of this amount, $210.6$2.8 million relates to goodwillcustomer relationships and $35.5$1.0 million relates to trade names. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such a charge would be material.
We have not used any derivative financial instruments, except as discussed below, during the years ended December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, including trading or speculating on changes in commodity prices of materials used in our business.
We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for borrowings under the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility and were exposed to market risk as it related to the interest rate swap. Borrowings under the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates. For further information on borrowing rates and interest rate sensitivity, refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources discussion in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. As of December 31, 2010,2011, there were borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility. Based on the $150.0 million borrowings outstanding on the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility, if overall interest rates were to increase by 25 basis
points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would increase by approximately $0.2 million in the next twelve months. Conversely, if overall interest rates were to decrease by 25 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would decrease by approximately $0.2 million in the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2009, the fair value of our interest rate swap was a net liability of $1.2 million. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, which matured in October 2010, we paid the counterparty a fixed rate of interest of 2.225% and received a variable rate of interest from the same counterparty.
We are also exposed to construction market risk and its potential related impact on accounts receivable or costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. The amounts recorded may be at risk if our customers’ ability to pay these obligations is negatively impacted by economic conditions. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and maintain on-going discussions with customers regarding contract status with respect to change orders and billing terms. Therefore, we believe we take appropriate action to manage market and other risks, but there is no assurance that we will be able to reasonably identify all risks with respect to collectibility of these assets. See also the previous discussions of Revenue Recognition from Long-term Construction Contracts and Services Contracts and Accounts Receivable under Application of Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at year end. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of equity, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe the exposure to the effects that fluctuating foreign currencies may have on our consolidated results of operations is limited because the foreign operations primarily invoice customers and collect obligations in their respective local currencies. Additionally, expenses associated with these transactions are generally contracted and paid for in their same local currencies.
In addition, we are exposed to market risk of fluctuations in certain commodity prices of materials, such as copper and steel, which are used as components of supplies or materials utilized in both our construction and facilities services operations. We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to gasoline prices for our fleet of over 8,000 vehicles. While we believe we can increase our prices to adjust for some price increases in commodities, there can be no assurance that price increases of commodities, if they were to occur, would be recoverable.
36 Additionally, our fixed price contracts do not allow us to adjust our prices and, as a result, increases in material or fuel costs could reduce our profitability with respect to projects in progress.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1— NATURE OF OPERATIONS
References to the “Company,” “EMCOR,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar words refer to EMCOR Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.
We are one of the largest electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services firms in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and in the world. We specialize principally in providing construction services relating to electrical and mechanical systems in facilities of all types and in providing comprehensive services for the operation, maintenance and management of substantially all aspects of such facilities, commonly referred to as “facilities services.” We design, integrate, install,
start-up,NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES operate and maintain various electrical and mechanical systems, including: (a) electric power transmission and distribution systems; (b) premises electrical and lighting systems; (c) low-voltage systems, such as fire alarm, security and process control systems; (d) voice and data communication systems; (e) roadway and transit lighting and fiber optic lines; (f) heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation systems; (g) fire protection systems; (h) plumbing, process and high-purity piping systems; (i) water and wastewater treatment systems; and (j) central plant heating and cooling systems. We provide electrical and mechanical construction services and facilities services directly to corporations, municipalities and other governmental entities, owners/developers and tenants of buildings. We also provide these services indirectly by acting as a subcontractor to general contractors, systems suppliers and other subcontractors. Electrical and mechanical construction services generally fall into one of two categories: (a) large installation projects with contracts often in the multi-million dollar range that involve construction of industrial and commercial buildings and institutional and public works facilities or the fit-out of large blocks of space within commercial buildings and (b) smaller installation projects typically involving fit-out, renovation and retrofit work. Our facilities services operations, which support the operation of a customer’s facilities, include: (a) industrial maintenance and services; (b) outage services to utilities and industrial plants; (c) commercial and government site-based operations and maintenance; (d) military base operations support services; (e) mobile maintenance and services; (f) facilities management; (g) installation and support for building systems; (h) program development, management and maintenance for energy systems; (i) shop and
on-site field services for refineries and petrochemical plants; (j) technical consulting and diagnostic services; (k) infrastructure and building projects for federal, state and local governmental agencies and bodies; (l) small modification and retrofit projects; and (m) retrofit projects to comply with clean air laws. These services are provided to a wide range of commercial, industrial, utility and institutional facilities including those at which we provided construction services.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All investments over which we exercise significant influence, but do not control (a 20% to 50% ownership interest), are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, we participate in a joint venture with another company, and we have consolidated this joint venture as we have determined that through our participation we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation”.
For joint ventures that have been accounted for using the consolidation method of accounting, noncontrolling interest represents the allocation of earnings to our joint venture partners who either have a minority-ownership interest in the joint venture or are not at risk for the majority of losses of the joint venture.
The results of operations of companies acquired have been included in the results of operations from the date of the respective acquisition.
Principles of Preparation
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of
42
The results of operations for all periods presented reflect: (a) discontinued operations accounting due to the disposition of our interest in our Canadian subsidiary in August 2011 and (b) certain reclassifications of prior period amounts to conform to current year presentation.
Our reportable segments reflect certain reclassifications of prior year amounts from our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment to our United States facilities services segment due to changes in our internal reporting structure.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from long-term construction contracts are recognized on thepercentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC Topic605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”.Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Certain of our electrical contracting business units and our Canadian subsidiary measurepercentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract. Revenues from the performance of facilities services for maintenance, repair and retrofit work are recognized consistent with the performance of services, which are

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)
generally on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contractual arrangement. Expenses related to all services arrangements are recognized as incurred. Revenues related to the engineering, manufacturing and repairing of shell and tube heat exchangers are recognized when the product is shipped and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Costs related to this work are included in inventory until the product is shipped. These costs include all direct material, labor and subcontracting costs and indirect costs related to performance such as supplies, tools and repairs. Provisions for the entirety of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term construction contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on certain contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues have been recognized but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of a contract. Also included in costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scopeand/or price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Such amounts are recorded at estimated net realizable value when realization is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No profit is recognized on construction costs incurred in connection with claim amounts. Claims and unapproved change orders made by us involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation. In the event litigation costs are incurred by us in connection with claims or unapproved change orders, such litigation costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs. We believe that we have established legal bases for pursuing recovery of our recorded unapproved change orders and claims, and it is management’s intention to pursue and litigate such claims, if necessary, until a decision or settlement is reached. Unapproved change orders and claims also involve the use of estimates, and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated recoverable amounts of recorded claims and unapproved change orders may be made in the near term. If we do not successfully resolve these matters, a net expense (recorded as a reduction in revenues) may be required, in addition to amounts that may have been previously provided for. We record the profit associated with the settlement of claims upon receipt of final payment. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably determinable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)
As of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included unbilled revenues for unapproved change orders of approximately $9.3$14.5 million and $11.2$9.3 million, respectively, and claims of approximately $6.3$1.6 million and $4.9$6.3 million, respectively. In addition, accounts receivable as of December 31, 20102011 and 20092010 included claims of approximately $1.8$0.2 million and $2.5$1.8 million, respectively, plus contractually billed amounts related to such contracts of $42.7$40.4 million and $29.6$42.7 million, respectively. Generally, contractually billed amounts will not be paid by the customer to us until final resolution of related claims.
Classification of Contract Amounts
In accordance with industry practice, we classify as current all assets and liabilities related to the performance of long-term contracts. The contracting cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year, and, accordingly, collection or payment of amounts related to these contracts may extend beyond one year. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and 2009 included $212.9$188.1 million and $221.0$213.8 million, respectively, of retainage billed under terms of these contracts. We estimate that approximately 81%77% of retainage recorded at December 31, 20102011 will be collected during 2011.2012. Accounts payable at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and 2009 included $36.5$39.5 million and $38.6$42.8 million, respectively, of retainage withheld under terms of the contracts. We estimate that approximately 82%85% of retainage withheld at December 31, 20102011 will be paid during 2011.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, we consider all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain a centralized cash management system whereby our excess cash balances are invested in high quality, short-term money market instruments, which are considered cash equivalents. We have cash balances in certain of our domestic bank accounts that exceed federally insured limits.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts. This allowance is based upon the best estimate of the probable losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowances based upon individual accounts when information indicates the customers may have an
44
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally using the average cost method.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation, including amortization of assets under capital leases, is recorded principally using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 3 to 7 years for vehicles, furniture and fixtures and computer hardware/software and 25 years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease term or the expected service life of the improvement.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. In performing this review for recoverability, property, plant and equipment
EMCOR Group, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)
is assessed for possible impairment by comparing their carrying values to their undiscounted net pre-tax cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. Impaired assets are written down to their fair values, generally determined based on their estimated future discounted cash flows. Based on the results of our testing for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, no impairment of property, plant and equipment was recognized.
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not being amortized, such as trade names, are instead tested at least annually for impairment (which we test each October 1, absent any impairment indicators) and are written down if impaired. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable. See Note 8—9—Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Insurance Liabilities
Our insurance liabilities are determined actuarially based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. At December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, the estimated current portion of undiscounted insurance liabilities of $21.8$23.7 million and $20.5$21.8 million, respectively, were included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated non-current portion of the undiscounted insurance liabilities included in “Other long-term obligations” at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $104.9 million and 2009 were $98.5 million, and $93.6 million, respectively.
Foreign Operations
The financial statements and transactions of our foreign subsidiaries are maintained in their functional currency and translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Translation adjustments have been recorded as “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, a separate component of “Equity”.
45
We account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. We recognize accruals of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision.
Valuation of Share-Based Compensation Plans
We have various types of share-based compensation plans and programs, which are administered by our Board of Directors or its Compensation and Personnel Committee. See Note 14—15—Share-Based Compensation Plans of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the share-based compensation plans and programs.
We account for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)
generally the vesting period. For shares subject to graded vesting, our policy is to apply the straight-line method in recognizing compensation expense. ASC 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash inflow, rather than as an operating cash inflow on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2010,2011, we adopted the accounting pronouncement regardingissued by the consolidation of variable interest entities, which changes the consolidation guidance related to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether or not an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and, if so, is therefore required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This statement also requires periodic reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. We were previously required to reconsider whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. This pronouncement also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.
46
On January 1, 2011, we adopted the accounting pronouncement was issued to updateby the FASB updating existing guidance, which modifies the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed if it appears more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. To make that determination, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. TheWe have considered the guidance in conjunction with our goodwill impairment testing since its adoption.
In June 2011, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update existing guidance on comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income, which is our current presentation. It requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income. This pronouncement is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, but early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have any effect on our financial condition or results of operations, though it will change our financial statement presentation.
In September 2011, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update the disclosure requirements of an employer who participates in multiemployer pension plans. This new pronouncement requires the disclosure of: (a) the amount of employer contributions made to each significant plan and to all plans in the aggregate; (b) an indication of whether the employer’s contributions represent more than five percent of the total contributions to the plan; (c) an indication of which plans, if any, are subject to a funding improvement plan; (d) the expiration date(s) of collective bargaining agreement(s) and any minimum funding arrangements; (e) the most recent funded status of the plan; and (f) a description of the nature and effect of any changes affecting comparability for each period in which a statement of operations is presented. The enhanced disclosures are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on our financial condition or results of operations, though it will require enhanced disclosures in our notes to consolidated financial statements. See Note 16—Retirement Plans for additional information regarding multiemployer pension plans.

NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)
In September 2011, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to simplify how a company is required to test goodwill for impairment. Companies will now have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.2011. Early adoption is permitted. We have adopted this pronouncement as of January 1, 2011, andnot determined whether we will consider theapply this guidance in conjunctionour future impairment testing.
NOTE 3— ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES
In June 2011, we completed the acquisition of USM Services Holdings, Inc. (“USM”) from Transfield Services Limited. USM is a leading provider of facilities maintenance solutions in North America and is based in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100% of USM’s stock for total consideration of $251.1 million utilized cash on hand to fund the purchase. This acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. We acquired working capital of $5.0 million and other net liabilities of $20.9 million, and have preliminarily ascribed $132.6 million to goodwill and $134.4 million to identifiable intangible assets in connection with this acquisition, which has been included in our United States facilities services segment. According to certain provisions of the stock purchase agreement, we are to be indemnified for certain costs. We have not yet completed the final allocation of the purchase price related to the USM acquisition. As we finalize the purchase price allocation, it is anticipated that additional purchase price adjustments will be recorded relating to finalization of intangible asset valuations, tax matters and other items. Such adjustments will be recorded during the measurement period. The finalization of the purchase price accounting assessment may result in changes in the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired, which are not expected to be significant.
In connection with this acquisition, we incurred approximately $4.7 million of transaction related expenses during 2011, which have been classified as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. USM is a leading provider of essential facilities maintenance services, including interior and exterior services and electrical, mechanical and plumbing services, to national and regional commercial customers that typically maintain over 100 sites across wide geographic areas. USM services these customers through its highly-developed proprietary network of over 11,000 service partners. We acquired USM because we believe that it further strengthens our market position in facilities and maintenance services and provides access to new customers for a range of services that we provide. Additionally, we believe that over the next two years we will be able to generate certain operating synergies with our future goodwill impairment testing.
We acquired two additional companies during 2011, two companies during 2010 and aone company in 2009, each for an immaterial amount. One of the 2011 acquisitions primarily provides mechanical construction services and has been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, and the other one primarily provides mobile mechanical services and has been included in our United States facilities services segment. One of the companies acquired in 2010 and the company acquired in 2009 provide mobile mechanical services, and the other company acquired in 2010 primarily performs government infrastructure contracting services. All of theseThe aforementioned companies have been included in our United States facilities services reporting segment.
The purchase price allocation for onetwo of our 2010the companies acquired companiesin 2011 is subject to the finalization of valuation of acquired identifiable intangible assets. TheDuring 2011, the purchase price accounting for one of the other2011 and one of the 2010 acquisitions referred to above was finalized. As a result, identifiable intangible assets ascribed to goodwill, contract backlog, customer relationships, trade names and related non-competition agreements were adjusted with an insignificant impact. These acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method in 2008 and by the acquisition method, in 2010 and 2009, and the purchase prices for them have been allocated to their respective assets and liabilities, based upon the estimated fair values of the respective assets and liabilities at the dates of the respective acquisitions.

NOTE 3— ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES — (Continued)
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded approximately $2.0 million of non-cash compensation expense related to a prior acquisition, with an offsetting amount recorded as a capital contribution from the selling shareholders of the acquired company. This non-cash expense was a result of a redistributed portion of acquisition-related payments made by the former owners of the acquired company to certain employees. These employees were not shareholders of the acquired company, and such payments were dependent on continuing employment with us.

In January 2010, and 2009, respectively. Included as investments, notes and other long-term receivables was an investment accounted for using the equity method of accounting of $13.1 million as of December 31, 2009 relating to a venture with Baltimore Gas & Electric (a subsidiaryin which one of Constellation Energy). This ventureour subsidiaries had a 40% interest and which designs, constructs, owns, operates, leases and maintains facilities to produce chilled water for sale to customers for use in air conditioning commercial properties. As a result of our discounted cash flow analysis, an impairment charge of $7.0 million was recognized in 2008, to write-down the carrying value of this investment to its estimated fair value. We recorded thisother-than-temporary decline in fair value as a component of “Cost of Sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In 2009, the venture, using its own cash and cash from additional capital contributions, acquired its outstanding bonds in the principal amount of $25.0 million. As a result of this, we were required to make an additional capital contribution of $8.0 million to the venture. In January 2010, this venture, including our investment,properties was sold to a third party. As a result of this sale, we received $17.7 million for our 40% interest and recognized a pretax gain of $4.5 million, which gain is included in our United States facilities services segment and classified as a component of “Cost of Sales”sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 9— GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill at December 31, 20102011 and 20092010 was approximately $406.8$566.8 million and $593.6$406.8 million, respectively, and reflects the excess of cost over fair market value of net identifiable assets of companies acquired. Goodwill attributable to companies acquired in 20102011 has been preliminarily valued at $22.4$156.6 million. ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, such as trade names, but instead must be tested at least annually for impairment (which we test each October 1, absent any impairment indicators) and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives. As of December 31, 2010,2011, approximately 56.0%64.3% of our goodwill relatesrelated to our United States facilities services segment, approximately 43.1% relates35.0% related to our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and approximately 0.9% relates0.7% related to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment.
We test for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level utilizing the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting

NOTE 9— GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS — (Continued)
unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. The weighted average cost of capital used in our annual testing for impairment as of October 1, 2011 was 13.6% and 12.3% for our domestic construction segments and our United States facilities services segment, respectively. The perpetual growth rate used for our annual testing was 2.7% for our domestic segments. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2009, no impairment of our goodwill was recognized.
During the third quarter of 2010 and prior to our October 1 annual impairment test, we concluded that impairment indicators may have existed within the United States facilities services segment based upon the year to date results and recent forecasts. As a result of that conclusion, we performed a step one test as prescribed under ASC 350 for that particular reporting unit which concluded that impairment indicators existed within that reporting unit due to significant declines in year to date revenues and operating margins which caused us to revise our expectations for the strength of a near term recovery in our financial models for businesses within that reporting unit. Specifically, we reduced our net sales growth rates and operating margins within our discounted cash flow model, as well as our terminal value growth rates. In addition, we estimated a higher participant risk adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Therefore, the required second step of the assessment for the reporting unit was performed in which the implied fair value of that reporting unit’s goodwill was compared to the book value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, that is, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of those

We also test for the impairment of trade names that are not subject to amortization by calculating the fair value using the “relief from royalty payments” methodology. This approach involves two steps: (a) estimating reasonable royalty rates for each trade name and (b) applying these royalty rates to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each trade name. If the carrying amount of the trade name is greater than the implied fair value of the trade name, an impairment in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. The annual impairment review of our trade names for the year ended December 31, 2011 resulted in a $1.0 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in the fair value of trade names associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services segment. During the second and third quarters of 2010, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $35.5 million associated with the fair value of trade names from prior acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services segment. The annual impairment review of our trade names for the year ended December 31, 2009 resulted in an $11.5 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in the fair value of trade names associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services and United States mechanical construction and facilities services segments. As a result of the continued assessment of the fair value of trade names previously impaired and the interim impairment testing performed during the second and third quarters of 2010, we recorded an additional $35.5 million non-cash impairment charge of trade names associated with certain prior year acquisitions. These trade names are reported within our United States facilities services segment. The current year impairment primarily results from both lower forecasted revenues from and operating margins at specific companies within our United States facilities services segment, which has been adversely affected by industry conditions. Additionally, we performed our annual impairment test as of October 1, segment.

and no additional impairment of our trade names was recognized for any of our reporting segments in the fourth quarter of 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2008, no impairment of our trade names was recognized.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 9— GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS — (Continued)
In addition, we review for the impairment of other identifiable intangible assets that are being amortized whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable. This test compares their carrying values to the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If the assets are impaired, the assets are written down to their fair values, generally determined based on their future discounted cash flows. Based on facts and circumstances that indicated an impairment may exist, we performed an impairment review of our other identifiable intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2009. As a result of these reviews, we recognized a $2.8 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in the fair value of customer relationships associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services segment for the year ended December 31, 2009, which resulted in2011 and a $2.0 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in the fair value of customer relationships associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. Forsegment for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2008, no impairment of our other identifiable intangible assets was recognized.
Our development of the present value of future cash flow projections used in impairment testing is based upon assumptions and estimates by management from a review of our operating results, business plans, anticipated growth rates and margins and weighted average cost of capital, among others. Much of the information used in assessing fair value is outside the control of management, such as interest rates, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods. There can be no assurances that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans or anticipated growth ratesand/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required, as we weredid in the second and third quarters of2011, 2010 and in the fourth quarter of 2009, to record goodwilland/or identifiable intangible asset impairment charges in future periods.
During 2010,2011, we recognized a $246.1$3.8 million non-cash impairment charge as discussed above. Of this amount, $210.6$2.8 million relates to goodwillcustomer relationships and $35.5$1.0 million relates to trade names. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such a charge would be material.

Until February 4, 2010,November 21, 2011, we had a revolving credit agreement (the “Old“2010 Revolving Credit Facility”) as amended, which provided for a credit facility of $550.0 million. The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility was effective February 4, 2010 and replaced an earlier revolving credit facility (the “2005 Revolving Credit Facility”) of $375.0 million. Effective February 4, 2010,November 21, 2011, we replaced the Old2010 Revolving Credit Facility that was due to expire October 17, 2010February 4, 2013 with an amended and restated $550.0$750.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2010“2011 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2013. ItNovember 2016 and permits us to increase our borrowing to $650.0$900.0 million if additional lenders are identifiedand/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments. We may allocate up to $175.0$250.0 million of the borrowing capacity under the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility to letters of credit, which amount compares to $175.0 million under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility and $125.0 million under the Old2005 Revolving Credit Facility. The 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of our assets and most of the assets of most of our subsidiaries. The 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants requiring,providing for, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain restrictions with respect tolimitations on payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness and capital expenditures. A commitment fee is payable on the average daily unused amount of the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility.Facility, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.35%, based on certain financial tests. The fee is 0.5%0.25% of the unused amount.amount as of December 31, 2011. Borrowings under the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (3.25% at December 31, 2010)2011) plus 1.75%0.50% to 2.25%1.00%, based on certain financial tests or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.26%(0.30% at December 31, 2010)2011) plus 2.75%1.50% to 3.25%2.00%, based on certain financial tests.

Letter of credit fees issued under this facility range from 2.75%1.50% to 3.25%2.00% of the respective face amounts of the letters of credit issued and are charged based on certain financial tests. We capitalized approximately $6.0$4.1 million of debt issuance costs associated with the 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility. This amount is being amortized over the life of the facility and is included as part of interest expense. In connection with the termination of the Old2010 Revolving Credit Facility, less than $0.1$0.4 million attributable to the acceleration of expense for debt issuance costs in connection with the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility was recorded as part of interest expense.

Other Long-Term Debt
As of December 31, 2010, other long-term debt consisted primarily of loans for various field equipment.
NOTE 11— DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
On January 27, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”), which hedged the interest rate risk on our variable rate debt. The Swap Agreement matured in October 2010 and was used to manage the variable interest rate of our borrowings and related overall cost of borrowing. We mitigated the risk of counterparty nonperformance by choosing as our counterparty a major reputable financial institution with an investment grade credit rating.
We paid a fixed rate on the Swap Agreement of 2.225% and received a floating rate of 30 day LIBOR on the notional amount. A portion of the interest rate swap had been designated as an effective cash flow hedge, whereby changes in the cash flows from the swap perfectly offset the changes in the cash flows associated with the floating rate of interest. See Note 9—10—Debt of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information. The fair value of the interest rate swap at December 31, 2009 was a net liability of $1.2 million. This liability reflected the interest rate swap’s termination value as the credit value adjustment for counterparty nonperformance was immaterial. We had no obligation to post any collateral related to this derivative. The fair value of the interest swap was based upon the valuation technique known as the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows. The variable cash flows were based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable interest rate curves. In addition, we had incorporated a credit valuation adjustment into our calculation of fair value of the interest rate swap. This adjustment recognized both our nonperformance risk and
53
On December 1, 2009, we de-designated $45.5 million of the interest rate swap as it was determined that it was no longer probable that the future estimated cash flows were going to occur as originally estimated. We discontinued the application of hedge accounting associated with this portion of the interest rate swap, and recognized $0.2 million of income and $0.3 million was expensedof expense as part of interest expense, and removed from Accumulated other comprehensive loss, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 11— DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITY — (Continued)
As of December 31, 2009, the fair value of our derivative was $1.2 million and was in a net liability position reflecting the interest rate swap’s termination value as the credit value adjustment for counterparty nonperformance was immaterial. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we have no derivativesand/or hedging instruments outstanding.
NOTE 12— FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We use a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets, is comprised of the following three levels:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs. Level 2 inputs would typically include quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the measurement and unobservable.
The following tables provide the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and 2009, we had $95.7 million and $30.2 million, respectively, in money market funds, included within Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, which are Level 1 assets.

| (2) | Restricted cash and short-term investments with original maturities greater than 90 days are classified as “Prepaid expenses and other” on our consolidated balance sheets. |
We believe that the carrying values of our financial instruments, which include accounts receivable and other financing commitments, approximate their fair values due primarily to their short-term maturities and low risk of counterparty default. The carrying value of our 20102011 Revolving Credit Facility approximates the fair value due to the variable rate on such debt.
At December 31, 2009, the $1.2 million fair value of the interest rate swap was determined using Level 2 inputs. There are no derivatives outstanding as of December 31, 2010.

The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations before income taxes, less amounts attributable to non-controlling interests, for the yearyears ended December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, inclusive of non-cash impairment charges, were (152.8)%38.7%, 37.4%(167.2)% and 39.0%37.8%, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the 20102011 income tax provision was primarily due to reducedincreased income before income taxes, the effect of a change in the United Kingdom statutory tax rate and a change in the allocation of earnings among various jurisdictions.

We have not recorded deferred income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries because of our intent to indefinitely reinvest such earnings. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. It is not practical, however, to estimate the amount of taxes that may be payable if such earnings or invested capital was repatriated to the United States.
NOTE 14— COMMON STOCK
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 66,444,400 and 2009, 66,660,551 and 66,187,344 shares of our common stock were outstanding, respectively.
On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. During 2011, we repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock for approximately $27.5 million. As of December 31, 2011, there remains authorization for us to repurchase approximately $72.5 million of our shares. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. Acquisitions under our repurchase program may be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The repurchase program will be funded from the Company’s internal funds.
NOTE 15— SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
We have an incentive plan under which stock options, stock awards, stock units and other share-based compensation may be granted to officers, non-employee directors and key employees of the Company. Under the terms of this plan, 3,250,000 shares were authorized and 3,090,0002,805,494 shares are available for grant or issuance as of December 31, 2010.2011. Any issuances under this plan are valued at the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The vesting and expiration of any stock option grants and the vesting schedule of any stock awards or stock units are determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant. Additionally, we have outstanding stock options and stock units that were issued under other plans, and no further grants may be made under thesethose plans.

In 2011, there were no grants of options since the declaration of a dividend on September 25, 2011. Forfeitures of stock options have been historically insignificant to the calculation and are estimated to be zero in all periods presented.
We have an employee stock purchase plan. Under the terms of this plan, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be purchased is 3,000,000 shares. Generally, our employees and non-union employees of our United States and Canadian subsidiaries are eligible to participate in this plan. Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements generally are not eligible to participate in this plan.
NOTE 16— RETIREMENT PLANS

Our United Kingdom subsidiary has a defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees (the “UK Plan”). On October 31, 2001, the UK Plan was closed to new entrants. As a result, employees joining the subsidiary after this date were not eligible to participate in the plan. On May 31, 2010, we curtailed the future accrual of benefits for active employees participating in this plan. As a result of this curtailment, we recognized a reduction of the projected benefit obligation and recorded a curtailment gain of $6.4 million, which will be amortized in the future through net periodic pension cost. This defined pension plan was replaced by a defined contribution plan. The benefits under the UK Plan are based on wages and years of service with the subsidiary up to the date of the curtailment. Our policy is to fund at least the minimum amount required by law, but we have agreed with the UK Plan Trustees to fund additional amounts and in conjunction with the curtailment, we made a one-time contribution of $25.9 million to the UK Plan.Plan in 2010. The measurement date of the UK Plan is December 31 of each year.
We account for our UK Plan and other defined benefit plans in accordance with ASC 715, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits” (“ASC 715”). ASC 715 requires that (a) the funded status, which is measured as the difference between the fair value of

The annual rate of return on plan assets is based on the yield of risk-free bonds, plus an estimated equity-risk premium, at each year’s measurement date. This annual rate approximates the historical annual return on plan assets and considers the expected asset allocation between equity and debt securities. For measurement purposes of the liability, the annual rates of inflation of covered pension benefits assumed for 2011 and 2010 were 2.2% and 2009 were 3.4% and 3.5%, respectively.

In regards to the plan assets of our UK Plan, investment amounts have been allocated within the fair value hierarchy across all three levels. The characteristics of the assets that sit within each level are summarized as follows:
Level 1—This asset represents cash.
Level 2—These assets are a combination of the following:
| (a) | Assets that are not exchange traded but have a unit price that is based on the net asset value of the fund. The unit prices are not quoted but the underlying assets held by the fund are either: |
| (i) | held in a variety of listed investments |
| (ii) | held in UK treasury bonds or corporate bonds with the asset value being based on fixed income streams. Some of the underlying bonds are also listed on regulated markets. |
It is the value of the underlying assets that have been used to calculate the unit price of the fund.
| (b) | Assets that are not exchange traded but have a unit price that is based on the net asset value of the fund. The unit prices are quoted. The underlying assets within these funds comprise cash or assets that are listed on a regulated market (i.e. the values are based on observable market data) and it is these values that are used to calculate the unit price of the fund. |
Level 3—Assets that are not exchange traded but have a unit price that is based on the net asset value of the fund. The unit prices are not quoted and are not available on any market.

The investment policies and strategies for the plan assets are established by the plan trustees (who are independent fromof the company) to achieve a reasonable balance between risk, likely return and administration expense, as well as to maintain funds at a level to meet minimum funding requirements. In order to ensure that an appropriate investment strategy is in place, an analysis of the UK Plan’s assets and liabilities is completed periodically.

Multi-Employer PensionMultiemployer Plans
We participate in numerous multi-employerover 175 multiemployer pension plans (“MEPPs”) that provide retirement benefits to certain union employees in accordance with various collective bargaining agreements.agreements (“CBAs”). As one of a multitude ofmany participating employers in these MEPPs, we are jointly responsible with the other participating employers for any plan underfunding. Our contributions to a particular MEPP are established by the applicable collective bargaining agreements;CBAs; however, our required contributions may increase based on the funded status of an MEPP and legal requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “PPA”), which requires substantially underfunded MEPPs to implement a funding improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plansplan (“RP”) to improve their funded status. Factors that could impact funded status of an MEPP include, without limitation, investment performance, changes in the participant demographics, decline in the number of contributing employers, and changes in actuarial assumptions.assumptions and the utilization of extended amortization provisions.
An FIP or RP requires a particular MEPP to adopt measures to correct its underfunding status. These measures may include, but are not limited to: (a) an increase in our contribution rate as a signatory to the applicable CBA, (b) a reallocation of the contributions already being made by participating employers for various benefits to individuals participating in the MEPP and/or (c) a reduction in the benefits to be paid to future and/or current retirees. In addition, wethe PPA requires that a 5% surcharge be levied on employer contributions for the first year commencing shortly after the date the employer receives notice that the MEPP is in critical status and a 10% surcharge on each succeeding year until a CBA is in place with terms and conditions consistent with the RP.
We could also be obligated to make additional contributionspayments to MEPPs if we either cease to have an obligation to contribute to anthe MEPP or significantly reduce our contributions to anthe MEPP because we reduce theour number of employees contributingwho are covered by the relevant MEPP for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the MEPP by reason of layoffs or closure of a subsidiary andassuming the MEPP has unfunded vested benefits. The amount of such additional contributionspayments (known as a complete or partial withdrawal liability) would equal our proportionate share of the MEPP’sMEPPs’ unfunded vested benefits. We believe that certain of the MEPPs in which we participate may have unfunded vested benefits. Due to uncertainty regarding future factors that could trigger withdrawal liability, as well as the absence of specific information regarding the MEPP’s current financial situation, we are unable to determine (a) the amount and timing of ourany future withdrawal liability, if any, and (b) whether our participation in these MEPPs could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Our regular scheduled contributions to the MEPPs approximated $176.2 million, $188.2 million and $221.1 millionWe did not record any withdrawal liability for the years ended December 31, 2010, 20092011 and 2008, respectively. We have not recognized any withdrawal liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2008.2010. We recorded approximately $1.0 million for withdrawal liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2009.

| (1) | This information was obtained from the respective plans’ Form 5500 for the most current available filing. These dates may not correspond with our fiscal year contributions. The above noted percentages of contributions are based upon disclosures contained in the plans’ Form 5500 filing (“Forms”). Those Forms, among other things, disclose the names of individual participating employers whose annual contributions account for more than 5% of the aggregate annual amount contributed by all participating employers for a plan year. Accordingly, if the annual contribution of two or more of our subsidiaries each accounted for less than 5% of such contributions, but in the aggregate accounted for in excess of 5% of such contributions, that greater percentage is not available and accordingly is not disclosed. |
| (2) | For these respective plans, a funding surcharge is currently in effect for 2011. |
| (3) | This zone status represents the most recent available information for the respective MEPP, which is 2010 for the 2011 year and 2009 for the 2010 year. |
The nature and diversity of our business may result in volatility of the amount of our contributions to a particular MEPP for any given period. That is because, in any given market, we could be working on a significant project and/or projects, which could result in an increase in our direct labor force and a corresponding increase in our contributions to the MEPP(s) dictated by the applicable CBA. When that particular project(s) finishes and is not replaced, the level of direct labor would also decrease, as would our level of contributions to the particular MEPP(s). Additionally, the level of contributions to a particular MEPP could also be affected by the terms of the CBA, which could require at a particular time, an increase in the contribution rate and/or surcharges. We have also acquired various companies since 2009, some of which participate in MEPPs, and as a result, our level of contributions have increased as a result of including the acquired companies’ contributions with respect to a particular MEPP in our consolidated information. As a result of these acquisitions, our contributions to various MEPPs increased by $10.1 million, $3.4 million and $0.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
We also participate in two MEPPs that are located within the United Kingdom for which we have contributed $0.3 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The information that we have obtained relating to these plans is not

as readily available and/or comparable as the information that has been ascertained in the United States. Based upon the most recently available information, one of the plans is at least 80% funded, and the other plan is between 65% and 80% funded. A recovery plan has been put in place for the plan that is between 65% and 80% funded, which required higher contribution amounts to be paid by our UK operations.
Additionally, we contribute to certain multiemployer plans that provide post retirement benefits such as health and welfare benefits and/or defined contribution/annuity plans, among others. Our contributions to these plans approximated $64.2 million, $54.1 million and $52.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Acquisitions during the period of 2009 to 2011 account for an increase in our contributions to these types of plans of $2.9 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The level of funding for these plans is also subject for the most part to the factors discussed above in conjunction with the MEPPs.
Defined Contribution Plans
We have defined contribution retirement and savings plans that cover eligible employees in the United States. Contributions to these plans are based on a percentage of the employee’s base compensation. The expenses recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 20082009 for these plans were $12.8 million, $11.0 million $9.7 million and $9.3$9.7 million, respectively. At our discretion, we may make additional supplemental matching contributions to a defined contribution retirement and savings plan. The supplemental contributions for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and 2008 were $4.5 million, $6.2 million and $7.6 million, and $5.6 million, respectively.
Our United Kingdom subsidiary has defined contribution retirement plans. The expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and 2008 was $6.0 million, $5.1 million $3.3 million and $3.7$3.3 million, respectively. The increase in the expense recognized for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to the UK Plan being curtailed and replaced by a defined contribution plan.

NOTE 17— COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES — (Continued)
Rent expense for operating leases and other rental items, including short-term equipment rentals charged to cost of sales for our construction contracts, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and 2008 was $90.0$103.3 million, $97.4$86.9 million and $108.2$95.8 million, respectively. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 20082009 was reported net of sublease rental income of $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.7 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.
Contractual Guarantees
We have agreements with our executive officers and certain other key management personnel providing for severance benefits for such employees upon termination of their employment under certain circumstances.
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, we are liable under such an arrangement only if our subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under the contract. Historically, we have not incurred any substantial liabilities as a consequence of these guarantees.
We are contingently liable to sureties in respect of performance and payment bonds issued by sureties, usually at the request of customers in connection with construction projects, which secure our payment and performance obligations under contracts for such projects. In addition, at the request of labor unions representing certain of our employees, bonds are sometimes provided to secure obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for such employees. Our bonding requirements typically increase as the amount of public sector work increases. As of December 31, 2010,2011, based on ourpercentage-of-completion of our projects covered by surety bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, had there been defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was approximately $1.4$1.2 billion. The surety bonds are issued by surety companies in return for premiums, which vary depending on the size and type of bond. We have agreed to indemnify the sureties for amounts, if any, paid by them in respect of bonds issued on our behalf.
We are subject to regulation with respect to the handling of certain materials used in construction, which are classified as hazardous or toxic by federal, state and local agencies. Our practice is to avoid participation in projects principally involving the remediation or removal of such materials. However, when remediation is required as part of our contract performance, we believe we comply with all applicable regulations governing the discharge of material into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
At December 31, 2010,2011, we employed over 24,00025,000 people, approximately 65%61% of whom are represented by various unions pursuant to more than 400 collective bargaining agreements between our individual subsidiaries and local unions. We believe that our employee relations are generally good. Only two of these collective bargaining agreements are national or regional in scope.

Legal Matters
We are involved in otherseveral proceedings in which damages and claims have been asserted against us. We believe that we have a number of valid defenses to such proceedings and claims and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. We do not believe that any such matters will have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of EMCOR Group, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EMCOR Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and equity and comprehensive income (loss) income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010.2011. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010,2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 201127, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of EMCOR Group, Inc.:
We have audited EMCOR Group, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and equity and comprehensive income (loss) income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20102011 of the Company and our report dated February 25, 201127, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Not applicable.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as required byRules 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), our President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony J. Guzzi, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mark A. Pompa, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined inRule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of assets, (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Board of Directors and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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, have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of December 31, 2010,2011, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, management has determined that EMCOR’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2010.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20102011 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report appearing in this Annual Report onForm 10-K, which such report expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In addition, our management with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions has determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined inRules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 20102011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
