Operations

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.technology. 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 and start-up 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) premises

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; (k) central plant heating and cooling systems; (l) cranes and rigging; (m) millwrighting; and (n) steel fabrication, erection and welding.

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 industrialmanufacturing and commercial buildings and institutional and public works projects 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 United States electrical and mechanical construction services operations accounted for about 52%53% of our 20112013 revenues, approximately 67% of which revenues of approximately 65% were related to new construction and approximately 35%33% of which were related to renovation and retrofit projects. Our United Kingdom electrical and mechanical construction services operations accounted for approximately 4%2% of our 20112013 revenues, approximately 46% of which revenues of approximately 54% were related to new construction and approximately 46%54% of which were related to renovation and retrofit projects. However, in mid-2013, we announced our decision to end our construction operations in the United Kingdom due to recurring losses over the last several years and our negative assessment of construction market conditions in the United Kingdom. We plan to focus in the United Kingdom solely on building services.
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 usepurposes (such as watereducational and wastewater treatment facilities, hospitals, correctional facilities and research laboratories); (b) for industrial usemanufacturing purposes (such as pharmaceutical plants, steel, pulp and paper mills, chemical, food, automotive and semiconductor manufacturing facilities and oil refineries)power generation); (c) for transportation projectspurposes (such as highways, airports and transit systems); (d) for commercial usepurposes (such as office buildings, data centers, hotels, casinos, convention centers, sports stadiums, shopping malls and resorts); and (e) for power generationhospitality purposes (such as hotels and energy management projects.casinos); (f) for water and wastewater purposes; and (g) for healthcare purposes. Our largest projects, which typically range in size from $10.0 million up to and occasionally exceeding $150.0 million and are frequently multi-year projects, represented approximately 31%33% of our worldwide construction services revenues in 2011.

2013.

Our projects of less than $10.0 million accounted for approximately 69%67% of our 2011 electrical and mechanicalworldwide construction services revenues.revenues in 2013. 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, 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’scustomer's plant or office layout in the normal course of a customer’scustomer's business.

We have a broad customer base with many long-standing relationships. We perform construction 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 governmental facilities.

These facilities services, which generated approximately 44% of our 2011 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 2011 facilities services revenues, approximately 88% were generated in the United States and approximately 12% were generated in the United Kingdom.

Our facilities services operations have built on our traditional electrical and mechanical services operations, facilities services activities of 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 facilitiesbuilding services segment offers a broad range of facilities services, including operation, maintenance and service of electrical and mechanical systems; industrialcommercial and government site-based operations and maintenance; facility maintenance and services, including outage services to utilities and industrial plants; commercial and government site-based operations and maintenance;manufacturing facilities; military base operations support services; mobile mechanical maintenance and services; floor care and janitorial services; landscaping, lot sweeping and snow removal; facilities management; vendor management; call center services; installation and support for building systems; program development, management and maintenance with respect to energy systems; 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.

These building services, which generated approximately 37% of our 2013 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 2013 building services revenues, approximately 88% were generated in the United States and approximately 12% were generated in the United Kingdom.
Our building services operations have built upon our traditional electrical and mechanical services operations, facilities services activities of 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.
Demand for our facilitiesbuilding services is often driven by customers’customers' decisions to focus on their own core competencies, customers’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’scustomer's core business. Clients of our facilitiesbuilding services business include the federal government,and state governments, 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, and large retailers and other businesses with multiple locations throughout the United States or regions of the country.

States.

We currently provide facilitiesbuilding 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)(c) interior and exterior services, including floor care and janitorial services, landscaping, lot sweeping and snow removal; (e)(d) diagnostic and solution engineering for building systems and their components; (f)and (e) maintenance and support services to manufacturers and power producers; and (g) services for refineries and petrochemical plants.

producers.

In the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, we provide facilitiesbuilding services at a number of preeminent buildings, including those that house the Secret Service, theThe Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the World Bank, the National Foreign Affairs Training Center, and the Department of Health and Human Services.Services, as well as other government facilities including the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. We also provide facilitiesbuilding services to a number of military bases, including base operations support services to the Navy National Capital Region and the Army's Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and are also involved in joint ventures providing facilitiesbuilding 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 frequently for a term of five years, are subject to renegotiation of terms and prices by the government, and are subject to termination by the government prior to the expiration of the term, and non-renewal.

As part of our facilities services operations, we also provide aftermarket maintenance and repair services for highly engineered shell and tube heat exchangers for refineries and the petrochemical industry both at facilities and in the field. These services are tailored to meet customer needs for scheduled turnarounds or specialty callout service.

term.

Our United Kingdom subsidiary also has a division thatprimarily focuses on facilities services. This divisionbuilding services and 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.

Our industrial services business is a recognized leader in the refinery turnaround market and has a growing presence in the petrochemical market. In July 2013, we acquired RepconStrickland, Inc. expanding services we provide to our refinery and petrochemical customers and significantly increasing the size of our industrial services business. Our industrial services business: (a) provides after-market maintenance, repair and cleaning services for highly engineered shell and tube heat exchangers for refineries and petrochemical plants both in the field and at our own shops, including tube and shell repairs, bundle repairs, and

extraction services, and (b) designs and manufactures new highly engineered shell and tube heat exchangers. We also perform a broad range of turnaround and maintenance services for critical units of refineries so as to upgrade, repair and maintain them. Such services include turnaround and maintenance services relating to: (i) engineering and planning services in advance of complex refinery turnarounds, (ii) overhaul and maintenance of critical process units (including hydrofluoric alkylation units, fluid catalytic cracking units, coking units, heaters, heat exchangers and related mechanical equipment) during refinery and petrochemical plant shut downs, (iii) general revamps and capital projects for refineries and petrochemical plants, and (iv) other related specialty technical services such as (a) welding, including pipe welding, and fabrication; heater, boiler, and reformer repairs and revamps; converter repair and revamps; and vessel, exchanger and tower services; (b) tower and column repairs and revamps in refineries; (c) installation and repair of refractory materials for critical units in process plants so as to protect equipment from corrosion, erosion, and extreme temperatures; and (d) acid-proofing services to protect critical components at refineries from chemical exposure.
Competition

In both our construction services, building services and facilitiesindustrial services businesses, we 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.

We believe that the electrical and mechanical construction services business isbusinesses are highly fragmented and our competition includes thousands of small companies across the United States and aroundStates. In the world. However,United States, 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., 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 qualified and/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 facilitiesbuilding 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 AECOM Technology Corporation, Johnson Controls, Inc., Fluor Corp., UNICCO Service Company,J&J Worldwide Services, DTZ, the Washington Division of URS Corporation, CB Richard Ellis, Inc., Jones Lang LaSalle and ABM Facility Services are engaged in this field, as are large original equipment manufacturers such as Carrier Corp. and Trane Air Conditioning. In addition, we compete with several regional firms serving all or portions of the markets we target, such as FM Facility Maintenance, Bergensons Property Services, Inc., SMS Assist, LLC and Ferandino & Sons, Inc. With respect to our industrialOur principal services operations, we are a leading North American provider of aftermarket maintenancecompetitors in the United Kingdom include ISS UK Ltd. and repair services for highly engineered shell and tube heat exchangers.MITIE Group plc. The key competitive factors in the facilitiesbuilding services business include price, service, quality, technical expertise, geographic scope and the availability of qualified personnel and managers. Due to our size, both financial and geographic, and our technical capability and management experience, we believe we are in a strong competitive position in the facilitiesbuilding services business.

However, there are relatively few barriers to entry to most of our building services businesses.

In our industrial services business, we are the leading North American provider of after-market maintenance and repair services for, and manufacturing of, highly engineered shell and tube heat exchangers and related equipment and a leader in providing specialized services to refineries and petrochemical plants. The market for providing these services and products to refineries and petrochemical plants is highly fragmented and includes large national industrial services providers, as well as numerous regional companies, including JV Industrial Companies Ltd., Matrix Service Company, Starcon, Turner Industries, Team, Inc., Cust-O-Fab, Dunn Heat, and Wyatt Field Service Company. In the manufacture of heat exchangers, we compete with both U.S. and foreign manufacturers. The key competitive factors in the industrial services market include service, quality, ability to respond quickly, technical expertise, price, safety record and availability of qualified personnel. Due to our technical capabilities, safety record and skilled workforce, we believe that we are in a strong competitive position in the industrial services market we serve. Because of the complex tasks associated with turnarounds and precision required in the manufacture of heat exchangers, we believe that the barriers to entry in this business are significant.
Employees

At December 31, 2011,2013, we employed over 25,00027,000 people, approximately 61%57% of whom are represented by various unions pursuant to more than 400375 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.

Backlog

We had

Our backlog as ofat December 31, 2011 of approximately $3.32013 was $3.36 billion compared withto $3.37 billion of backlog of approximately $3.1 billion as ofat December 31, 2010, excluding backlog from our Canadian subsidiary, which we sold in August 2011.2012. 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. We include a project within our backlog at such time as a contract is awarded. 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, we do not include in backlog contracts for which we are paid on a time and material basis, and 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.

revenues provided for in the initial contract award. Our backlog also includes amounts related to services contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned; however, a reasonable estimate of total revenues can be made from budgeted amounts agreed to with our customer. Our backlog is comprised of: (a) original contract amounts, (b) change orders for which we have received written confirmations from our customers, (c) pending change orders for which we expect to receive confirmations in the ordinary course of business and (d) claim amounts that we have made against customers for which we have determined we have a legal basis under existing contractual arrangements and as to which we consider collection to be probable. Claim amounts recorded were immaterial for all periods presented. Our backlog does not include anticipated revenues from unconsolidated joint ventures or variable interest entities and anticipated revenues from pass-through costs on contracts for which we are acting in the capacity of an agent and which are reported on the net basis. We believe our backlog is firm, although many contracts are subject to cancellation at the election of our customers. Historically, cancellations have not had a material adverse effect on us. We estimate that 84% of our backlog as of December 31, 2013 will be recognized as revenues during 2014.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

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“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 andposition, results of operations and/or cash flows 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.

Negative conditions in the credit markets may continue to adversely impact our ability to operate our business.The level of demand from our clients for our services has been, and will likely continue to be,in the past, adversely impacted by the downturnslowdowns in the industries we service, as well as in the economy in general.

A number of economic factors, including financing conditions for the industries we serve, have, in the past, adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect, our ultimate customers and their ability or willingness to fund expenditures in the future or pay for past services.expenditures. 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 worseningWorsening 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. TheAt times, tightened availability of credit 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, certainour ultimate customers have deferred and others may defer such projects for an unknown, and perhaps lengthy, period. SuchAny such deferrals have inhibitedwould inhibit our growth and would adversely affectedaffect 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 orders and/or claims with, our clients due to, among other reasons, a diminution in our ultimate customers’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 orders and/or claims with clients, it could have an adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

position.

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, relative construction 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’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 adversely affected by currentsignificant delays and reductions in government appropriations. Federal legislation adopted in 2013 aimed at curtailing spending by federal agencies and departments and reducing the federal budget deficits.Significantdeficit has resulted in federal governmental agencies or departments deferring or canceling projects that we might otherwise have sought to perform. We expect that budgetary constraints and ongoing concerns regarding the U.S. national debt will continue to place downward pressure on spending levels of the U.S. government. In addition, 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

their government infrastructure projects and/or expenditures, from which expenditures someexpenditures. Some of our businesses derive a significant portion of revenue. In addition, recenttheir revenues from federal, legislation aimed at curtailing spending by federal agenciesstate and departments may result in thoselocal governmental bodies deferring or canceling projects that we might otherwise seek to perform.

bodies.

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 bothall of 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 8,0008,500 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. 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.such projects.

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 result, any organization that has adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise may become one of our competitors. Competition in our industry depends on numerous factors, including price. Certain of our competitors have lower overhead cost structures and, therefore, are able to provide their services at lower rates than we are currently able to provide. In addition, some of our competitors have greater resources than we do. We cannot be certain that our competitors will not develop the expertise, experience and resources necessary to provide services that are superior in quality and lower in price to ours. Similarly, we cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain or enhance our competitive position within the industry or maintain a customer base at current levels. We may also face competition from the in-house service organizations of existing or prospective customers, particularly with respect to facilitiesbuilding services. Many of our customers employ personnel who perform some of the same types of facilitiesbuilding services that we do. We cannot be certain that our existing or prospective customers will continue to outsource facilitiesbuilding services in the future.

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’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 impact our construction services operations as those conditions affect our ability to perform efficient work outdoors in certain regions of the United States and the United Kingdom. As a result, weHowever, the absence of snow in the United States during the winter could cause us to experience reduced revenues.revenues in our United States building services segment, which has meaningful snow removal operations. In addition, cooler than normal temperatures during the summer months could reduce the need for our services, particularly in our businesses that provide or service air conditioning units, and warmer than normal temperatures during the winter months would also reduce the need for our services, and we may experienceresult in 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 facilitiesbuilding services contracts for governmental and non-governmental entities, 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 factors affecting our ability to generate internal growth are beyond our control, and we cannot be certain that our strategies will be successful or that we will be able to generate cash flow sufficient to fund our operations and to support internal growth. If we are not successful, we may not be able to achieve internal growth, expand operations or grow our business.

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.

Table of Contents

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, and we participate in many multiemployer union pension plans which could result in substantial liabilities being incurred. As of December 31, 2011,2013, approximately 61%57% 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,position, results of operations and cash flows. We contribute to over 175200 multiemployer union pension plans based upon wages paid to our union 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 multiemployer pension plan’splan'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 16—14 - Retirement Plans of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information regarding multiemployer plans.

Fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates impact our financial results.We have foreign operations in the United Kingdom, which in 20112013 accounted for 9%7% of our revenues. Our reported financial conditionposition 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 United 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 new clean-up requirements could require us to incur significant costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could harm our financial conditionposition 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 such clean-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.position. We are a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings, most of which areoccur 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,position, and in some cases, on our reputation or our ability to obtain projects from customers, including governmental entities. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for more information regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved.

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 facilitiesbuilding services segment, management’smanagement's focus associated with the start-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’scontractor'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 Under standard terms in the surety market, surety companies issue bonds on a project-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’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’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 premiums and/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.

Health care reform could adversely affect our operating results. In 2010, the United States government enacted comprehensive health care reform legislation. Due to the breadth and complexity of this legislation, as well as its phased-in nature of implementation, it is difficult for us to predict the overall effects it will have on our business over the coming years. To date, we have not experienced material costs related to the health care reform legislation; however, it is possible that our operating results and/or cash flows could be adversely affected in the future by increased costs, expanded liability exposure and requirements that change the ways we provide healthcare and other benefits to our employees.
We may incur liabilities or suffer negative financial impact relating to occupational, health and safety matters.Our operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to the maintenance of safe conditions in the workplace. While we have invested, and will continue to invest, substantial resources in our robust occupational, health and safety programs, our industry involves a high degree of operational risk, and there can be no assurance that we will avoid significant liability exposure. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment and other consequential damages and could lead to suspension of operations, large damage claims and, in extreme cases, criminal liability.

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 andand/or 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, complement and/or diversify our business. Realization 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’smanagement's attention from our existing business, the failure to retain key personnel or customers of anthe 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 businessesbusiness 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—Goodwill“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 other non-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 rates and/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required to record goodwill and/or identifiable intangible asset impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing on October 1, 20122014 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 for the year ended December 31, 2011 resulted in a $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 acquisitions reported within our United States facilities services segment.

We did not record an impairment of our goodwill or identifiable intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2011.

2013.

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 current economic slowdown.future. The risk of contracts in backlog being cancelled or suspended generally increases during periods of widespread slowdowns. Accordingly, there is no assurance that backlog will actually be realized. If our backlog fails to materialize, we could experience a reduction in revenues and a decline in profitability, which could result in a deterioration of our financial conditionposition and liquidity.

We account for the majority of our construction projects using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting; therefore, variations of actual results from our assumptions may reduce our profitability.We recognize revenues on construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-TypeRecognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. See Application of Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7. Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Under the percentage-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’smanagement'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, fail to renew or discontinueterminate 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,position, 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 restrictlimit 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.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

One of our subsidiaries, USM, Inc. ("USM"), doing business in California provides, among other things, janitorial services to its customers by having those services performed by independent janitorial companies. USM and one of its customers, which owns retail stores (the “Customer”), are co-defendants in a federal class action lawsuit brought by employees of two of USM’s California local janitorial contractors. The action captioned Federico Vilchiz Vasquez, Jesus Vilchiz Vasquez, Francisco Domingo Claudio, for themselves and all others similarly situated vs. USM, Inc. dba USM Services, Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation, et al., was commenced on September 5, 2013 in a Superior Court of California and was removed by USM on November 22, 2013 to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The employees allege in their complaint, among other things, that USM and the Customer violated a California statute that prohibits USM from entering into a contract with a janitorial contractor when it knows or should know that the contract does not include funds sufficient to allow the janitorial contractor to comply with all local, state and federal laws or regulations governing the labor or services to be provided. The employees have asserted that the amounts USM pays to its janitorial contractors are insufficient to allow those janitorial contractors to meet their obligations regarding, among other things, wages due for all hours their employees worked, minimum wages and overtime pay. These employees seek to represent not only themselves, but also all other individuals who provided janitorial services at the Customer’s stores in California during the relevant four year time period. We do not believe USM or the Customer has violated the California statute or that the employees may bring the action as a class action on behalf of other employees of janitorial companies with whom USM contracted for the provision of janitorial services to the Customer. However, if the pending lawsuit is certified as a class action and USM is found to have violated the California statute, USM might have to pay significant damages and might be subject to similar lawsuits regarding the provision of janitorial services to its other customers in California. The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that USM has violated the California statute, monetary damages, including all unpaid wages and thereon, restitution for unpaid wages, and an award of attorney fees and costs.
We are involved in several other proceedings in which damages and claims have been asserted against us. Other potential claims may exist that have not yet 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 materiallymaterial adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation matters for which reserves have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On August 9, 2010, the subsidiary received three citations claiming the occurrenceRegulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104) is included in Exhibit 95 to this Form 10-K.

15

Table of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a coal or other mine safety or health hazard under MSHA. All of such citations were related to an accident at a customer’s mine that resulted in the death of one employee of such subsidiary during normal maintenance activities conducted by the subsidiary at the customer’s mine. All of the alleged violations were timely abated. The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration has issued a proposed assessment of $15,000 against the subsidiary for such alleged violations, and the subsidiary is contesting such assessment.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’SMANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are one of the largest electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services firms in the United States, the United KingdomStates. In addition, we provide a number of building services and in the world. We provideindustrial services. Our services are provided to a broad range of commercial, industrial, utility and institutional customers through approximately 70 operating subsidiaries and joint venture entities. Our offices are located in the United States and the United Kingdom. We had conducted business in Canada through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and in the Middle East through a joint venture.subsidiary. We sold our interestCanadian subsidiary in August 2011.
During the third quarter of 2013, we completed the acquisition of RepconStrickland, Inc. (“RSI”), a leading provider of turnaround and specialty services to the North American refinery and petrochemical markets. In connection with the acquisition of RSI and to reflect changes in our Canadian operationsinternal reporting structure and the information used by management to make operating decisions and assess performance, we created a new segment that includes RSI and certain businesses that had been part of our United States facilities services segment. The new segment is called the United States industrial services segment and the segment formerly named the United States facilities services segment has been renamed the United States building services segment.
Our reportable segments have been restated in August 2011all periods presented to reflect the changes in our segments referred to above. The segment formally named the United Kingdom construction and our interest infacilities services segment has been renamed the Middle East joint venture in June 2010.

During 2013, we continuedmade two strategic decisions to reposition EMCOR by adding three companies to our portfolio, which extendedposition ourselves for long-term growth and improved profitability. We completed the acquisition of RSI during the third quarter of 2013. This acquisition will expand and further strengthenedstrengthen our service offerings to new and existing customers. Additionally duringcustomers and enhance our position within 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 environment and integrating our new acquisitions. We continue to see a very competitive marketplace in which there are a significant number of bidders willing to work at extremely low margins on any given project across all of our businesses. Despite this, we continue to replace our backlog with profitable work that delivers cost effective solutions and value to our customers throughout the United States and United Kingdom.

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 facilitiesindustrial services and our United States mechanicalenergy market sectors. In addition, due to recurring losses over the last several years from the 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 2010, particularly within our industrial services operations as a result of an increase in demand for our services in the refinery and petrochemical markets, and also within our 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 byconstruction and building services segment and our negative assessment of construction market conditions in the effect of favorable exchange ratesUnited Kingdom for the British pound versusforeseeable future, we announced our decision to withdraw from the construction market in the United States dollar.

The increase inKingdom.

Although revenues for 2013 slightly increased compared to 2012, operating income and operating margin (operating income as a percentage of revenues) for 2011, whendecreased in 2013 compared to 2010,2012. The increase in 2013 revenues compared to 2012 was primarily a result of: (a)attributable to $133.3 million in revenues from companies acquired in 2013, which are reported in our United States industrial services segment and our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, most of our segments reported lower revenues in 2013, with the largest decline in revenues from our United Kingdom construction and building services segment. The decrease in 2013 revenues within the United Kingdom construction and building services segment is due to our decision earlier this year to withdraw from the United Kingdom construction market. These decreases were partially offset by higher operating incomerevenues from our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment and (b) excludingsegment.
Both operating income from acquisitions in 2011 and 2010, higher operating income from our United States facilities services segment. Acquisitions that are within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services and our United States facilities services segments contributed $3.3 million to operating income, including $12.5 million of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income and operating margin for 2010in 2013 were adversely impacted by a significant non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. The 2011 increasebelow that of 2012 due to: (a) declines in operating income was partially

offset by: (a) lowerand operating incomemargin 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) lower operating income, primarily as a result of $4.7poor performance by one of our subsidiaries at two projects located in the southeastern United States (resulting in aggregate losses of approximately $24.5 million) and (b) operating losses and restructuring expenses of $30.1 million of transaction costs associated with a 2011 acquisitionrelated to the construction operations reported in our United Kingdom construction and higher employment costs withinbuilding services segment. Offsetting this unfavorable performance in 2013 were improved operating results in our United States building services segment.

As previously discussed, we completed the acquisition of RSI during 2013, and changes in our working capital.

We acquired three companies during 2011. In June 2011, we acquired USM Services Holdings, Inc. (“USM”), which is a leading provider of facilities maintenance services, and in November 2011, we acquired another company, which provides mobile mechanical services. Both of these companies’its results have been included in our United States facilitiesindustrial services segment since the dates ofits acquisition. In addition, we completed two other acquisitions during 2013, and their respective acquisition. The third company was acquired in January 2011, which primarily provides mechanical construction services, and its results have been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment since the date of its acquisition.segment. All of these acquisitionsbusinesses expand our service capabilities into new geographic and/or technical areasareas.

Operating Segments
Our reportable segments have been restated in all periods presented to reflect the changes in our segments referred to above. The segment formally named the United Kingdom construction and are not material to ourfacilities services segment has been renamed the United Kingdom construction and building services segment. In addition, the results of operations for all periods presented reflect: (a) discontinued operations accounting due to the periods presented.

Indisposition 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(b) certain reclassifications of prior yearperiod amounts from our United States mechanical construction and facilitiesbuilding services segment to our United States mechanical construction and 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; central plant heating and cooling; cranes and rigging; millwrighting; and steel fabrication, erection and welding); (c) United States facilitiesbuilding services; (d) United States industrial services; and (e) United Kingdom construction and facilities services; and (e) Other international construction and facilitiesbuilding services. The segment “United States facilitiesbuilding services” principally consists of those operations which provide a portfolio of services needed to support the operation and maintenance of customers’customers' facilities (industrial(commercial and government site-based operations and maintenance; facility 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; floor care and janitorial services; landscaping, lot sweeping and snow removal; facilities management; vendor management; call center services; installation and support for building systems; program development, management and maintenance for energy systems; 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), which services are not generally related to customers’customers' construction programs. The segment "United States industrial services" principally consists of those operations which provide industrial maintenance and services, mainly for refineries and petrochemical plants, including on-site repairs, maintenance and service of heat exchangers, towers, vessels and piping; design, manufacturing, repair and hydro blast cleaning of shell and tube heat exchangers and related equipment; refinery turnaround planning and engineering services; specialty welding services; overhaul and maintenance of critical process units in refineries and petrochemical plants; and specialty technical services for refineries and petrochemical plants. The United Kingdom and Other international construction and facilitiesbuilding services segments performsegment performs electrical construction, mechanical construction and facilitiesbuilding services. In August 2011, we sold our Canadian subsidiary, which represented our Canada construction segment and which performed electrical construction and mechanical construction. Our “Other international construction and facilities services” segment consisted

Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations

2013 versus 2012
Revenues

As described in more detail below, revenues for 20112013 were $5.6$6.4 billion compared to $4.9$6.3 billion for 2010 and $5.2 billion for 2009.2012. The increase in revenues for 2011 compared to 20102013 was primarily attributable to: (a) incremental revenues of approximately $407.1$133.3 million generated by companies acquired in 2011 and 2010,2013, 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 revenues attributable to acquisitions in 2010 and 2009, extended across all of our business segments and was primarily attributable to: (a) lower revenues in both our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment and our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and (b) higher revenues from our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, partially offset by lower revenues from our United Kingdom operations, (c) lowerconstruction and building services segment and our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, excluding the effect of acquisitions in 2013. We continue to be disciplined by only accepting work in a very competitive marketplace that we believe can be performed at reasonable margins.

The following table presents our revenues for each of our operating segments and the approximate percentages that each segment's revenues were of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except for percentages):

Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were $1,345.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to revenues of $1,211.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher levels of work from commercial, institutional, manufacturing and transportation construction projects, primarily in the Southern California and New York City markets, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from water and wastewater construction projects.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $2,329.8 million, a $56.7 million decrease compared to revenues of $2,386.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to declines in revenues from institutional, healthcare and water and wastewater construction projects. In addition, this segment’s results for 2012 included approximately $224.0 million of revenues attributable to a large manufacturing project compared to $23.1 million of revenues recognized on the same project in 2013. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenues from other manufacturing construction projects and incremental revenues of approximately $9.7 million generated by companies acquired in 2013.
Revenues of our United States building services segment were $1,795.0 million and $1,807.9 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. This decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to a reduction in revenues from our government site-based services and our commercial site-based services, partially offset by an increase in revenues from our energy services and our mobile mechanical services. The decrease in revenues from our government site-based services was primarily due to a reduction in discretionary government project spending and the loss in 2012 of certain maintenance contracts, and the decrease in our commercial site-based services was primarily due to the termination of certain unprofitable contracts. The increase in revenues from our energy services was due to large project work, and the increase in revenues from our mobile mechanical services was due to higher project and services revenues.
Revenues of our United States facilitiesindustrial services segment for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by $117.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase in revenues was primarily due to the $123.6 million of incremental revenues generated by RSI. Excluding the results of this acquisition, revenues decreased from turnaround and (d)maintenance services work performed compared to revenues in 2012. The results in 2012 benefited from the favorable impact of three large non-recurring turnaround and repair projects.

Our United Kingdom construction and building services segment revenues were $427.2 million in 2013 compared to $538.8 million in 2012. This decrease in revenues was attributable to a reduction in our construction operations in the United Kingdom, as a consequence of both weak market conditions and our decision earlier this year to withdraw from the construction market in the United Kingdom. This decision was based on recurring losses over the last several years in the construction operations of our United Kingdom segment and our negative assessment of construction market conditions in the United Kingdom for the foreseeable future. This decrease in revenues was also attributable to: (a) lower revenues within this segment’s building services business as a result of reduced activity in the commercial and transportation markets and (b) a decrease of $6.4 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. This decrease in revenues was partially offset by revenues

Our backlog at December 31, 20112013 was $3.3$3.36 billion compared to $3.1$3.37 billion of backlog at December 31, 2010, excluding2012. This slight decrease in backlog was primarily attributable to lower backlog within most of our Canadian subsidiary which we soldsegments, partially offset by an increase in August 2011.backlog from our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. Backlog increases with awards of new contracts and decreases as we perform work on existing contracts. The increase in backlog as of December 31, 2011, compared to such backlog at December 31, 2010, was attributable to $414.7 million of backlog associated with the acquisition of three companies in 2011. Two of these companies are included in our United States facilities services segment, and the third is included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. Excluding backlog attributable to companies acquired in 2011, backlog decreased year over year, primarily within our United States electrical construction and facilities services, our United Kingdom and our United States facilities services segments. Backlog is not a term recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles; however, it is a common measurement used in our industry. We include a project within our backlog at such time as a contract is awarded. Backlog includes unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts plus unrecognized revenues expected to be realized over the remaining term of facilities services contracts. However, we do not include in backlog contracts for which we are paid on a time and material basis, and 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.

The following table presents our revenues by each of our operating segments andprovided for in the approximate percentages that each segment’s revenues wereinitial contract award. Our backlog also includes amounts related to services contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned; however, a reasonable estimate of total revenues can be made from budgeted amounts agreed to with our customer. Our backlog is comprised of: (a) original contract amounts, (b) change orders for which we have received written confirmations from our customers, (c) pending change orders for which we expect to receive confirmations in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010ordinary course of business and 2009 (in millions, except(d) claim amounts that we have made against customers for percentages):

Revenueswhich we have determined we have a legal basis under existing contractual arrangements and as to which we consider collection to be probable. Claim amounts recorded were immaterial for all periods presented. Our backlog does not include anticipated revenues from unconsolidated joint ventures or variable interest entities and anticipated revenues from pass-through costs on contracts for which we are acting in the capacity of an agent and which are reported on the net basis. We believe our backlog is firm, although many contracts are subject to cancellation at the election 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 tocustomers. Historically, cancellations have not had a continued decline in revenues from hospitality construction projects, principally in the Las Vegas market as we substantially completed workmaterial adverse effect 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 decline in work on hospitality construction projects, principally in the Las Vegas market. This 2010 decrease in revenues was partially offset by an increase in revenues from water/wastewater, healthcare and institutional construction projects.

Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $1,904.5 million, a $196.1 million increase compared to revenues of $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 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 decline in work on hospitality construction projects in the Las Vegas market.

Revenues of our United States facilities services segment were $2,024.9 million and $1,522.3 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in revenues for 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily attributable to revenues of $220.7 million generated by companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, which perform facilities maintenance services, government infrastructure contracting services and mobile mechanical services, and from an increase in revenues at: (a) our industrial services operations, which have seen an increase in demand for our services in the refinery and petrochemical markets, (b) our mobile mechanical services operations, excluding revenues attributable to acquisitions in 2011 and 2010, reflecting an increase in demand for our repair services, controls installation and small project work and (c) our government services operations, due to new project awards. Additionally, a contract amendment with a client resulted in an increase in revenues based on the new terms and conditions. The amended contract provides that we are to act as a principal, whereas prior to the amendment, we acted as an agent.

Revenues of our United States facilities services segment increased by $28.7 million in 2010 compared to 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to revenues of $66.3 million generated 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 offset by a decline in revenues from: (a) our industrial services operations, which had 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) fewer discretionary projects attributable to economic conditions.

Our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment revenues were $529.0 million in 2011 compared to $462.4 million in 2010. This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to growth in revenues from our facilities services business as a result of an expansion in scope of contracts with our existing customers in the commercial market. The increase in revenues for 2011 was also partly attributable to an increase of $18.3 million relating to the effect of favorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar.

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.

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 a 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 margin was 12.7% for 2010 were favorably impacted byboth 2013 and 2012. Gross profit margin for the resolutionyear ended December 31, 2013 increased in our United States building services segment and our United States industrial services segment primarily due to improved project execution and the termination of an historical legal claim on a healthcare construction projectcertain unprofitable contracts. Gross profit margin decreased in all our other reportable segments. Gross profit margin declined 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 $90.7 million for 2010 compared to 2009. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to reduced 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 mobile mechanical services operations, excluding gross profit from acquisitions in 2010 and 2009, within our United States facilities services 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 attributable to 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 operations 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 and (b) favorable gross profit associated with the receipt of a contract termination fee pursuant to the terms of a contract within our United Kingdom construction and facilitiesbuilding services segment.

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 recognized a $226.2 million non-cash impairment 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.

As described in more detail below, we had operating income of $210.8$210.3 million for 2011, compared to an operating loss of $26.5 million for 2010 and operating income of $250.1 million for 2009. 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, 20112013 compared to operating income of $70.4$250.0 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.

2012.

Operating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment for 2010 decreased by $44.1the year ended December 31, 2013 was $98.1 million compared to 2009. The decrease in operating income in 2010 compared to 2009 was primarilyof $100.7 million for the result of lower gross profit from commercial and industrial construction projects, as a result of the economic slowdown and our selectivity in bidding on contracts.year ended December 31, 2012. 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 2010year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily the result of a reduction in gross profit from water and wastewater construction projects, partially offset by an increase in gross profit attributable to commercial, institutional and manufacturing construction projects. Operating income in 2012 also benefited from the resolution of construction claims on a water and wastewater project and a healthcare project, resulting in approximately $9.5 million of gross profit. Selling, general and administrative expenses slightly increased for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily the result of a decrease in gross profit margin.

Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment operating income for the year ended December 31, 20112013 was $117.0$93.8 million, a $14.3$31.5 million decrease compared to operating income of $131.3$125.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.2012. The results included aggregate losses of approximately $24.5 million from one of our subsidiaries at two projects located in the southeastern United States, resulting in a 1.1% impact on this segment's operating margin. One of these projects was in progress at the time of acquisition of the subsidiary and will be completed in 2014. The other project, which was contracted for post-acquisition, has incurred losses principally due to poor performance by one of our subcontractors on the project which we have replaced and is substantially complete. In addition to the effect of these two projects, operating income in 2012 was favorably impacted by gross profit of $24.1 million recognized on a large manufacturing project. Companies acquired in 2013 generated operating losses of approximately $1.0 million, including amortization expense of $0.1 million attributable to identifiable intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in operating income for 2011 compared to 2010, excluding operating incomethe year ended December 31, 2013 was partially offset by higher gross profit from the 2011 acquisitioncommercial construction projects and a decrease in this segment, wasselling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense. In addition, we recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, $6.7 million and $5.4 million of income attributable to the reversal of contingent consideration accruals relating to acquisitions made prior to 2013. The decrease in operating margin was primarily attributable to a reduction in gross profit margin.
Operating income of our United States building services segment was $67.2 million and $43.3 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit from industrial,this segment's: (a) commercial site-based services, partially attributable to an increase in revenues from snow removal and institutional construction projects,the termination of certain unprofitable contracts, (b) mobile mechanical services, partially as a result of the current economic environmentgreater project and our selectivityservices revenues and improved job execution, and (c) energy services, as a result of increased gross profits on large project work. The increase in bidding on contracts. Additionally, 2010 benefited from the resolutionoperating income

was partially offset by lower gross profit from our government site-based services as a result of a reduction in discretionary government project spending and the loss in 2012 of certain maintenance contracts. Operating income was negatively impacted by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily due to: (a) an increase in employee related costs, such as incentive compensation due to improved operating results within certain subsidiaries, and (b) a higher provision for doubtful accounts. The increase in operating margin was primarily the result of an increase in gross profit margin, primarily due to increased margins from our energy services, mobile mechanical services and commercial site-based services operations.
Operating income of our United States industrial services segment for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by $1.5 million compared to operating income from: (a) a company acquired in 2011, whichfor the year ended December 31, 2012. RSI contributed approximately $7.1$3.0 million ofto 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 and the settlement of a long outstanding construction claim and (c) gross profit from healthcare construction projects. Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat in 2011 compared to 2010, excluding expenses directly related to the 2011 acquisition in this segment, which added $18.5 million of selling, general administrative costs, including $1.8$5.7 million of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets. This increase in operating income was offset by reduced operating income due to a decrease in demand for our turnaround and maintenance services in the refinery market compared to 2012 due to customer scheduling changes. The results of 2012 benefited from the favorable impact of three large non-recurring turnaround and repair projects. The decrease in operating margin was a result of an increase in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues.
Our United Kingdom construction and building services segment's operating loss for the year ended December 31, 20112013 was primarily the result of a reduction in gross profit margin.

Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment operating income for 2010 increased by $1.6$6.0 million compared to 2009. The increase in operating income in 2010 compared to 2009of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This unfavorable result was primarilydue to: (a) an operating loss of $19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from its construction operations due to lower volume and project write-downs attributable to both weak market conditions and our decision earlier this year to withdraw from the decreaseconstruction market in the United Kingdom and (b) lower volume from its building services operations as a result of reduced project activity, partially offset by lower selling general and administrative expenses principally due to reduced employee costs, such as salaries and incentive compensation, primarily as a result of the downsizing of staff at numerous locations in 2009, as well as a reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts due to favorable settlements of amounts previously determined to be uncollectible. The increase in operating income was also due to: (a) the favorable resolution of uncertainties on certain construction projects at or nearing completion, particularly in the hospitality markets, and (b) the favorable resolution of an historical legal claim on a healthcare construction project. The increase in operating income for 2010 compared to 2009 was partially offset by lower gross profit from commercial, industrial and water/wastewater construction projects, as a result of the economic slowdown and our selectivity in bidding on contracts. The increase in operating margin for 2010 was primarily the result of increased gross profit margin due to the favorable resolution of matters discussed above.

Operating income of our United States facilities services segment was $68.1 million and $60.0 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in operating income for 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to higher operating income from our industrial services operations, which have seen an increase in demand for our services in the refinery and petrochemical markets. The increase in operating income for 2011 was partially offset by lower operating income from lower margins on project work attributable to several project write-downs, the largest of which is due to difficult job site conditions, and lower margins on projects as a result of the competitive market in the current economic 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 increased 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 attributable to an increase in employment costs such as salaries, bonuses and commissions due to higher volume. The decrease in operating margin for 2011 was primarily the result of a reduction in the gross profit margin.

Operating income of our United States facilities services segment decreased by $13.7 million in 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 had been adversely affected by 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) fewer discretionary projects due to the effects of the economic slowdown and lower gross profit margins, primarilypredominantly as a result of lower margins on recently acquired

projects. The decreaseemployee related costs. Operating margin in operating incomethis segment decreased 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 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. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $8.0 million for 20102013 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,2012 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.

Our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment operating income was $9.2 million in 2011 compared to $15.7 million in 2010. The decrease in operating income for 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily attributable to an operating loss within our United Kingdom construction business as a result of losses recognized on various institutional and commercial construction projects and a decrease in the gross margin from its facilities services business, which benefited in 2010 from favorable gross profit associated with the receipt of a contract termination fee pursuant to the terms of a contract. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by a continued decrease in the actuarially determined pension costs associated with our United Kingdom defined pension plan and an increase of $0.6 million relating to the effect of favorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. The decrease in operating margin for 2011 was brought about by a combination of lower gross profit margins, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues.

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.

In June 2010, we sold our equity interest in a 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. The Other international construction and facilities services segment operating loss was approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The increase in expenses for 2011 as comparedwas primarily due to 2010 is primarily attributable to $4.7$6.1 million of transaction costs associated with the acquisitionRSI acquisition. Also, included in our corporate administration expenses for 2013 was the receipt of USMan insurance recovery during 2011 and higher incentive compensation costs. This increase was partially offset by reduced employee costs, such as salaries,our first quarter of approximately $2.6 million associated with a previously disposed of operation, which is classified as a resultcomponent of "Cost of sales" on the restructuring at our corporate headquarters earlier in 2011. The decreaseConsolidated Statements of $7.0 million in expenses comparing 2010 to 2009 was primarily attributable to a decline in incentive compensation, marketing and advertising expenses, as well as lower professional fees.

Interest expense was $11.3 million, $12.2$8.8 million and $7.9$7.3 million for 2011, 20102013 and 2009,2012, respectively. The $0.9 million decrease in interest expense for 2011 compared to 2010 was 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 restatement of our credit facility in 2011. The $4.3$1.5 million increase in interest expense for 20102013 compared to 20092012 was primarily due to higher costincreased borrowings as a result of borrowingour acquisition of RSI and the acceleration of expense for debt issuance costs associated with the termination of a term loan and the amendment and restatement of our credit facility in 2010.

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 20112013 income tax provision from continuing operations was $76.8$75.3 million compared to $53.7$95.4 million for 2010 and $92.6 million for 2009 based on effective income tax rates, before the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges, of approximately 38.7%, 37.2% and 37.8%, respectively.2012. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations before income taxes, less amounts attributable to non-controllingnoncontrolling interests, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, were 37.8% and 39.4%, respectively. The decrease in the 2013 income tax provision compared to 2012 was primarily due to the effect of reduced income before income taxes, a change in the mix of earnings among various jurisdictions and the reversal of previously unrecognized income tax benefits.
2012 versus 2011
Revenues
As described in more detail below, the increase in revenues for 2012 compared to 2011 2010was primarily attributable to: (a) increased revenues from all of our operating segments, excluding incremental revenues attributable to acquisitions in 2012 and 2009, inclusive2011, and (b) incremental revenues of approximately $303.9 million generated by companies acquired in 2012 and 2011, which are reported within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and our United States building services segment. An increase in revenues at our United Kingdom operations was offset by a decrease of $6.5 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar.

Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were $1,211.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to revenues of $1,155.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher levels of work from manufacturing, institutional and commercial construction projects, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from healthcare, transportation and hospitality construction projects.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $2,386.5 million, a $377.4 million increase compared to revenues of $2,009.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to: (a) an increase in revenues from manufacturing, commercial and transportation construction projects, excluding the effect of acquisitions made in 2012 and 2011, and (b) incremental revenues of approximately $128.6 million generated by companies acquired in 2012 and 2011, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from healthcare, institutional, hospitality and water and wastewater construction projects.
Revenues of our United States building services segment were $1,807.9 million and $1,603.0 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to incremental revenues of approximately $175.3 million generated by companies acquired in 2011, which perform building maintenance services and mobile mechanical services, and from an increase in revenues at: (a) our commercial site-based operations, excluding the effect of the acquisition made in 2011, primarily the result of new project awards and (b) our government services operations, primarily due to new contract awards and organic growth in the medical building services portfolio. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenues from our energy services operations primarily as a result of the loss of a large contract at the end of 2011.
Revenues of our United States industrial services segment for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by $84.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in demand for our services in the refinery market and the favorable impact of three large non-recurring turnaround and repair service projects.
Our United Kingdom construction and building services segment revenues were $538.8 million in 2012 compared to $529.0 million in 2011. This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to growth in revenues in our building services business as a result of an expansion in scope of contract activity with our existing customers in the commercial and transportation markets, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from our United Kingdom construction business as a result of lower volume from institutional and healthcare construction projects and a decrease of $6.5 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar.

Our backlog at December 31, 2012 was $3.37 billion compared to $3.33 billion of backlog at December 31, 2011. This slight increase in backlog, excluding the effect of acquisitions, was primarily attributable to: (a) an increase in contracts awarded for work in all of our domestic segments and (b) an increase of $27.7 million in backlog associated with a company acquired in 2012, which is included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. This increase was partially offset by lower backlog within our United Kingdom segment.
Cost of sales and Gross profit
The following table presents cost of sales, gross profit (revenues less cost of sales), and gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenues) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands, except for percentages):
 2012 2011

 $4,879,510
Gross profit$806,354

Gross profit margin12.7% 13.1%
Our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $806.4 million, an increase of $72.4 million compared to the gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $733.9 million. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to: (a) companies acquired in 2012 and 2011 reported within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and our United States building services segment, which contributed approximately $29.2 million to gross profit, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $0.2 million, (b) our United States industrial services segment, (c) our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment and (d) our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, excluding the gross profit from companies acquired in 2012 and 2011. These increases were partially offset by lower gross profit from our United Kingdom operations, whose construction business experienced several project write-downs. The increase in gross profit was also negatively impacted by changes in the exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar.
Our gross profit margin was 12.7% for 2012 compared to 13.1% for 2011. 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, primarily as a result of the favorable resolution in 2011 of various uncertainties on projects and the settlement of a long outstanding construction claim, (b) our United States building services segment, partially attributable to the margin dilutive impact of an acquisition in 2011, and (c) our United Kingdom operations, as a result of the operating loss from its construction business. The decrease in gross profit margin in 2012 was partially offset by higher gross profit margin at our United States industrial services segment and our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, primarily as a result of: (a) the favorable resolution of a long outstanding construction claim on a water and wastewater construction project and (b) higher margins from certain other construction projects, as a result of claim settlements and better than anticipated project execution on other contracts.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
The following table presents selling, general and administrative expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands, except for percentages):  
 2012 2011
Selling, general and administrative expenses$556,242
 $518,121
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues8.8% 9.2%
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $556.2 million, a $38.1 million increase compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $518.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to: (a) $26.9 million of incremental expenses directly related to companies acquired in 2012 and 2011, including amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $4.9 million, and (b) higher employee related costs such as incentive compensation and employee benefits, partially as a result of improved results and share-based compensation costs, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees, as we had incurred $4.7 million of transaction costs associated with an acquisition made in 2011. In addition, we recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, $6.4 million and $2.8 million of income attributable to the reversal of contingent consideration accruals relating to acquisitions made prior to 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for 2012 compared to 2011, primarily related to our ability to increase revenues at a greater rate than the increase in overhead costs.
Restructuring expenses
Restructuring expenses, primarily relating to employee severance obligations and/or the termination of leased facilities, were $0.1 million and $1.2 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 2012 restructuring expenses were primarily attributable to

employee severance obligations and the termination of leased facilities incurred in our United States building services segment. In 2011, restructuring expenses were primarily related to employee severance obligations at our corporate headquarters. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the balance of restructuring related obligations yet to be paid was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The majority of obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2011 were paid during 2012. The majority of obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2012 were paid during 2013.
Impairment loss on goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
In conjunction with our 2011 annual impairment test on October 1, 2011, we recognized a $3.8 million non-cash impairment charges,charge related to customer relationships and trade names within the United States building services segment during the fourth quarter of 2011. This impairment primarily resulted from both lower forecasted revenues from, and lower operating margins at, specific companies within this segment.
Based upon our annual impairment testing as of October 1, 2012, no additional impairment of our goodwill or our identifiable intangible assets was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012.

As described in more detail below, we had operating income of $250.0 million for 2012 compared to operating income of $210.8 million for 2011.
Operating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment was $100.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to operating income of $84.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in operating income primarily resulted from an increase in gross profit from: (a) water and wastewater construction projects and (b) manufacturing and institutional construction projects. In addition, operating income in 2012 benefited from the favorable resolution of a construction claim on a healthcare project, as well as from a long outstanding construction claim on a water and wastewater construction project. This increase in operating income was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit attributable to: (a) hospitality construction projects and (b) smaller quick turn project work. Additionally, operating income in 2011 benefited from the favorable resolution of uncertainties on a hospitality construction project and from the favorable resolution of an institutional construction claim. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 2011, principally due to higher employee related costs, primarily incentive compensation accruals as a result of improved results, and higher professional fees. The increase in operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily the result of an increase in gross profit margin and a decrease in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues.

Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment operating income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $125.3 million, a $6.7 million increase compared to operating income of $118.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in operating income, excluding operating income attributable to the 2012 and 2011 acquisitions in this segment, was primarily due to higher gross profit from manufacturing and commercial construction projects. Additionally, the increase in operating income was partially attributable to companies acquired in 2012 and 2011, which generated approximately $4.2 million of operating income, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $0.3 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in operating income from hospitality, healthcare and institutional construction projects. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in 2012 compared to 2011, excluding expenses directly related to the 2012 and 2011 acquisitions in this segment, which added $11.9 million of selling, general and administrative costs, including $0.2 million of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets, primarily due to an increase in employee related costs, such as salaries and incentive compensation accruals as a result of improved results and a higher provision for doubtful accounts. The decrease in operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2012 was the result of a reduction in gross profit margin, partially offset by a decrease in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues.
Operating income of our United States building services segment was $43.3 million and $47.1 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in operating income was due to lower operating income from our government services operations as a result of several project write-downs, the majority of which were 38.7%, (167.2)%due to difficult job site conditions. Additionally, companies acquired in 2011 negatively impacted operating income by approximately $1.9 million, including $4.8 million of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by: (a) higher operating income from our mobile mechanical services as a result of improved project performance compared to 2011 and 37.8%(b) income attributable to the reversal of contingent consideration accruals relating to acquisitions made prior to 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5.5 million for 2012 compared to 2011, excluding the increase of $15.0 million of selling, general and administrative expenses associated with companies acquired in 2011, including amortization expense of $4.7 million. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in employee related costs such as salaries, incentive compensation and employee benefits, due to higher volume and profitability, and higher depreciation and amortization costs. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were partially offset by a reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts due to favorable settlements of amounts previously determined to be uncollectible. The increase in operating margin for 2012 was the result of a decrease in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues, which is related to our ability to increase revenues at a greater rate than the increase in overhead costs, partially offset by a reduction in gross profit margin.
Operating income of our United States industrial services segment for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by $17.7 million compared to operating income for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher operating income as a result of an increase in demand for our services in the refinery market and the favorable impact of three large non-recurring turnaround and repair service projects.
Our United Kingdom construction and building services segment operating income was $7.1 million in 2012 compared to $9.2 million in 2011. This decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to an operating loss within our United Kingdom construction business as a result of losses recognized on various hospitality, institutional and commercial construction projects and a decrease of $0.2 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by an increase in operating income from its building services business as a result of better performance on its commercial and institutional portfolio of contracts. The decrease in operating margin for 2012 was brought about by a combination of lower gross profit margins, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues.
Our corporate administration expenses were $63.5 million for 2012 compared to $63.1 million in 2011. This increase in expenses was primarily attributable to higher share-based compensation costs as a result of improved operating performance. This increase was partially offset by: (a) lower transaction costs of approximately $4.7 million associated with an acquisition made in 2011 and (b) reduced salaries at headquarters, as a result of the restructuring at our corporate headquarters earlier in 2011.
Non-operating items
Interest expense was $7.3 million and $11.3 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $4.0 million decrease in interest expense for 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to lower borrowing rates under the credit facility that we entered into in late 2011.
Interest income was $1.6 million and $1.8 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in interest income was primarily related to lower invested cash balances in 2012.
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 2012 income tax provision from continuing operations was $95.4 million compared to $76.8 million for 2011. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations before income taxes, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were 39.4% and 38.7%, respectively. The increase in the 20112012 income tax provision compared to 2011 was primarily due to increased income before income taxes, the effect of a change in the United Kingdom statutory tax rate and a change in the allocationmix of earnings among various jurisdictions. The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $210.6 million during 2010. Approximately $34.0 million of this impairment is deductible for income tax purposes. The remaining $176.6 million of this impairment is not deductible for income tax purposes. This non-deductible portion had a significant impact on the effective income tax rate for 2010.

Discontinued operations

operation

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’ssubsidiary'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 of $2.8 million) resulting from the sale of the subsidiary. The gain on sale of discontinued operation includes $15.5 million related to amounts previously reported in the foreign translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Loss from discontinued operation included income tax benefits of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Net cash provided by operating activities for 2011 of $149.42013 was $150.1 million compared to $69.5$184.4 million in net cash provided by operating activities for 2010,2012. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, excluding the effect of businesses acquired, was primarily due to: (a) a $32.2 million reduction in other accrued expenses, primarily due to a reduction in federal taxes payable, (b) a $21.5 million reduction in net income and (c) an $18.3 million reduction in accounts payable, partially offset by a $38.4 million increase in net over-billings, related to the timing of customer billings and payments. Net cash used in investing activities was $483.4 million for 2013 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $42.5 million for 2012. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a $435.9 million increase in payments for acquisitions of businesses. Net cash provided by financing activities for 2013 increased by approximately $217.6 million compared to 2012. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $350.0 million of long-term debt incurred and a $22.0 million decrease in dividends paid to stockholders, partially offset by a $150.0 million net repayment of our revolving credit facility.
Our consolidated cash balance increased by approximately $94.0 million from $511.3 million at December 31, 2011 to $605.3 million at December 31, 2012. Net cash provided by operating activities for 2012 was $184.4 million compared to $149.4 million in net cash provided by operating activities for 2011. The increase 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$42.5 million for 20112012 compared to $32.7$320.5 million used in 2010. This increase2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $262.5$281.1 million increasedecrease in payments for acquisitions of businesses a $10.2acquired, partially offset by an $8.3 million increase in amounts paid for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and a $17.6 million increase in short-term investments.equipment. Net cash used in financing activities for 20112012 was $29.3$50.6 million compared to $48.0$29.3 million used in 2010. This decrease2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the repaymentpayment 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 dividends.

Table of $69.5 million, compared to $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 the United Kingdom defined benefit pension 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 increased by $48.1 million, compared to 2009, 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.

We classify these borrowings as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets becauseOn November 25, 2013, we entered into a $1.1 billion credit agreement (the "2013 Credit Agreement"), which is comprised of our intenta $750.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $350.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to repay the amounts on a long-term basis. These amounts are outstanding atdrawn under our discretion and are not payable until the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility expires in November 2016.previous credit agreement. As of December 31, 2011, there were borrowings of $150.0 million2013, the amount outstanding under the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility.

Term Loan was $350.0 million.

Represents open purchase orders for material and subcontracting costs related to construction and service contracts. These purchase orders are not reflected in EMCOR’sour consolidated balance sheets and should not impact future cash flows, as amounts should be recovered through customer billings.

(3)

Represents primarily insurance related liabilities and liabilities for deferred income taxes, incentive compensation and earn-out arrangements, classified as other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash payments for insurance related liabilities may be payable beyond three years, but it is not practical to estimate these payments. We provide funding to our post retirement plans based on at least the minimum funding required by applicable regulations. In determining the minimum required funding, we utilize current actuarial assumptions and exchange rates to forecast estimates of amounts that may be payable for up to five years in the future. In our judgment, minimum funding estimates beyond a five year time horizon cannot be reliably estimated, and therefore, have not been included in the table.

Until November 21, 2011,25, 2013, we had a revolving credit agreement (the “2010 Revolving“2011 Credit Facility”Agreement”) as amended, which provided for a revolving credit facility of $550.0$750.0 million. The 2010 Revolving2011 Credit FacilityAgreement was effective February 4, 2010 and replaced an earlier revolving credit facility (the “2005 Revolving Credit Facility”) of $375.0 million.November 21, 2011. Effective November 21, 2011,25, 2013, we replaced the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility that was due to expire February 4, 2013 with an amended and restated the 2011 Credit Agreement with a $1.1 billion credit agreement (the "2013 Credit Agreement"), which is comprised of a $750.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2011“2013 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $350.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to repay amounts drawn under the 2011 Credit Agreement. Both facilities expire on November 25, 2018. We may increase the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility expires in November 2016 and permits us to increase our borrowing to $900.0 million$1.05 billion if additional lenders are identified and/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments.

2013 Revolving Credit Facility range from 1.50%1.25% to 2.00%1.75% of the respective face amounts of theoutstanding letters of credit issued and are charged based on certain financial tests. We capitalized approximately $4.1$3.0 million of debt issuance costs associated with the 2011 Revolving2013 Credit Facility.Agreement. This amount is being amortized over the life of the facilityagreement and is included as part of interest expense. In connection with the terminationamendment and restatement of the 2010 Revolving2011 Credit Facility, $0.4Agreement, $0.3 million attributable to the acceleration of expense for debt issuance costs in connection with the 2010 Revolving2011 Credit FacilityAgreement was recorded as part of interest expense. We are required to make principal payments on the Term Loan in installments on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2014, in the amount of $4.4 million, with a final payment of all principal and interest not yet paid due and payable on November 25, 2018. As of December 31, 20112013, the balance on the Term Loan was $350.0 million. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2010,2012, we had approximately $83.1$83.3 million and $82.4$84.0 million of letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We had borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 20102011 Credit Agreement at December 31, 2012. There were no borrowings outstanding under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility atas of December 31, 2010, and we have borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2011, which may remain outstanding at our discretion until the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility expires. 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.

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 borrowed $150.0 million under that facility and used the proceeds along with cash on hand to prepay on February 4, 2010 all indebtedness outstanding under the Term 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 interest expense, and removed from Accumulated other comprehensive loss, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The interest rate swap matured in October 2010.

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.

2013.

On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the Companyus to repurchase up to $100.0 million of itsour outstanding common stock. During 2011,2013, we repurchased approximately 1.20.7 million shares of our common stock for approximately $27.5$26.1 million. AsSince the inception of December 31, 2011,this repurchase program, we have repurchased 2.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately $77.5 million, and there remainedremains authorization for us to repurchase approximately $72.5$22.5 million of our shares.shares under that authorization. On December 5, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. As a result, $122.5 million was available for repurchase as of December 31, 2013. The repurchase program does not obligate the Companyus 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 asto the extent permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements.requirements, including provisions in our credit agreement placing limitations on such repurchases. The repurchase program has been and will be funded from the Company’s internal funds.

our operations.

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, 2011,2013, based on our percentage-of-completion of our projects covered by Surety Bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, assuming defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was approximately $1.2$0.8 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, which we believe to be adequate, 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 furtheradverse 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 parent company 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 facilitiesbuilding and industrial services segment,segments, 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 operations and/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 20112013 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 usour competitors 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,

33

Table of Contents

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 $326.9$290.6 million and $368.4$290.5 million as of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, respectively.

Long-term liquidity requirements can be expected to be met through cash generated from operating activities and our 20112013 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- residentialnon-residential construction services and building and industrial services, which is influenced by macroeconomic trends including interest rates and governmental economic policy. In addition, our ability to perform work is critical to meeting long-term liquidity requirements.

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 2011 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 $10.0 million. We do not believe that any such matters will have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We believe that our current cash balances and our borrowing capacity available under our 2013 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 and meet our expected capital expenditure requirements.
On September 26, 2011, we announced our plans to pay a regular quarterly dividend of $.05$0.05 per common share. We have paid quarterly dividends since October 25, 2011. On December 7, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $0.25 per share, payable in December 2012, and announced its intention to increase the regular quarterly dividend to $0.06 per share. In addition, at the December 7, 2012 meeting of $.05our Board of Directors, the regular quarterly dividend that would have been paid in January 2013 was declared, its amount increased to $0.06 per common share on October 25, 2011 and on January 31,its payment date accelerated to December 28, 2012. In December 2013, our Board of Directors announced its intention to increase the regular quarterly dividend to $0.08 per share commencing with the dividend to be paid in the first quarter of 2014. We expect that such quarterly dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Prior to October 25, 2011, no cash dividends had been paid on the Company’sCompany's common stock. Our revolving credit facility limitsagreement places limitations on the payment of dividends on our common stock. However, we do not believe that the terms of the credit facilityagreement currently materially limit our ability to pay a quarterly dividend of $.05$0.08 per share for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends has been and will be funded from our operations.

Certain Insurance Matters

As of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, we utilized approximately $82.9$83.3 million and $82.2$84.0 million, respectively, of letters of credit obtained under our 20112013 Revolving Credit Facility and our 2010 Revolving2011 Credit Facility,Agreement, 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 on Form 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—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 issued and/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—2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Form 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 the percentage-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 the percentage-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”) Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-TypeRecognition-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 measure percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract. Pre-contract costs from our construction projects are generally expensed as incurred. Application of percentage-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. During 2012, we recognized approximately $9.5 million of profit from the settlement and payment of two claims within the United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. There was no significant profit recognized from settlements or payment of claims in 2013. As of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included unbilled revenues for unapproved change orders of approximately $14.5$19.2 million and $9.3$13.8 million, respectively, and claims of approximately $1.6$0.4 million and $6.3$0.7 million, respectively. In addition, accounts receivable as of December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 included claims of approximately $0.2$2.9 million and $1.8$0.8 million respectively, plus unapproved change orders and, respectively. In addition, there are contractually billed amounts and retention related to such contracts of approximately $40.4$56.1 million and $42.7$41.0 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Generally, contractually billed amounts will not be paid by the customer to us until final resolution of related claims. Due to uncertainties inherent in estimates employed in applying percentage-of-completion accounting, estimates may be revised as project work progresses. Application of percentage-of-completion accounting requires that the impact of revised estimates be reported prospectively in the consolidated financial statements. In addition to revenue recognition for long-term construction contracts, we recognize revenues from the performance of facilities services for maintenance, repair and retrofit work consistent with the performance of the services, which are 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. Provisions for the entirety of estimated losses on contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

During 2013, we recognized aggregate losses of approximately $24.5 million associated with two contracts within the United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment as a result of a change in contract estimates.

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, 20102013, 2012 and 20092011 amounted to approximately $2.2$3.5 million $(5.1), $1.2 million and $7.2$2.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, our accounts receivable of $1,187.8$1,268.2 million and $1,090.9$1,222.0 million, respectively, included allowances for doubtful accounts of $16.7$11.9 million and $17.3$11.5 million, respectively. The decreaseincrease in our allowance for doubtful accounts was primarily due to the recovery of amounts previously determined to be uncollectible and the write-off of accounts receivable against the allowanceincrease in our provision for doubtful accounts.accounts, primarily within our United States building services segment. 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’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.

Our estimated


35


insurance liabilities for workers' compensation, automobile liability, general liability and property claims increased by $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to acquisitions. If our estimated insurance liabilities for workers' compensation, automobile liability, general liability and property claims were to increase by 10%, it would have resulted in $13.7 million of additional expense for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Income Taxes

We had net deferred income tax liabilities at December 31, 20112013 and 2012 of $29.0$126.8 million and net deferred income tax assets of $5.2$35.6 million, at December 31, 2010,respectively, primarily resulting from differences between the carrying value and income tax basis of certain identifiable intangible assets and depreciable 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, 20112013 and 2010,2012, the total valuation allowance on gross deferred income tax assets, related solely to state net operating carryforwards, was approximately $3.4$2.2 million and $0.8$2.5 million, respectively.

We have determined that as of December 31, 2013, a valuation allowance was not required on any of the remaining deferred tax assets because of significant deferred tax liabilities after consideration of the above mentioned deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets and projected future income.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had $566.8$834.8 million and $370.4$541.5 million, respectively, of goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets (primarily consisting of our contract backlog, developed technology/vendor network, customer relationships,

non-competition agreements and trade names), primarily arising out of the acquisition of companies. As of December 31, 2010,2012, goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets were $406.8$566.6 million and $245.1$343.7 million, respectively. The changes to goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets (net of accumulated amortization) since December 31, 2010 were related to: (a) the acquisition of three companies during 2011, (b) the finalization of the purchase price accounting for the acquisition of a company during the fourth quarter of 2010 and (c) earn-outs paid and/or accrued related to previous acquisitions. During 2011, the purchase price accounting for acquisitions made during the first quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010 was finalized. As a result, identifiable intangible assets ascribed to its goodwill, contract backlog, customer relationships, trade name and related non-competition agreements were adjusted with an insignificant impact. The determination of related estimated useful lives for identifiable intangible assets and whether those assets are impaired involves significant judgments based upon short and long-term projections of future performance. These forecasts reflect assumptions regarding the ability to successfully integrate acquired companies, as well as macroeconomic conditions. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill“Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, 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.

We test for impairment of our goodwill at the reporting unit level utilizinglevel. Our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 17, "Segment Information", of the notes to consolidated financial statements. In assessing whether our goodwill is impaired, we first qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount using various factors. If after this assessment we are unable to determine that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, we proceed to 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’sunit's goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’sunit'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, 20112013 was 13.6%12.1%, 12.6% and 12.3%11.1% for our domestic construction segments, our United States building services segment and our United States facilitiesindustrial services segment, respectively. The perpetual growth rate used for our annual testing was 2.7% for our domestic segments. Unfavorable changes in these key assumptions may affect future testing results and cause us to fail step one of the goodwill impairment testing process. For example, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 50 basis point increase in the weighted average costs of capital would cause the estimated fair value of our United Stated industrial services segment to approach its carrying value. A 50 basis point increase in the weighted average costs of capital would not significantly reduce the excess of the estimated fair value compared to the carrying value for any of our other domestic segments. In addition, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 50 basis point reduction in the perpetual growth rate would not significantly reduce the excess of the estimated fair value compared to the carrying value for any of our domestic segments. For the years ended December 31, 20112013, 2012 and 2009,2011, 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 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.

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had $566.8$834.8 million of goodwill on our balance sheet and, of this amount, approximately 64.3%46.1% relates to our United States facilitiesindustrial services segment, approximately 35.0%27.4% relates to our United States building services segment, approximately 26.0% relates to our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and approximately 0.7%0.5% relates to our United States electrical construction and facilities services

segment. As of the date of our latest impairment test, the carrying values of our United States industrial services, United States building services, United States mechanical construction and facilities services and United States electrical construction and facilities services segments were approximately $744.9 million, $487.7 million, $237.7 million and $58.7 million, respectively. The fair values of our United States facilitiesindustrial services, United


36

Table of Contents

States building services, United States mechanical construction and facilities services and United States electrical construction and facilities services segments exceeded their carrying values by approximately $88.3$45.0 million, $346.9$126.0 million, $519.9 million and $285.6$366.8 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 facilitiesbuilding 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. The current yearThis impairment primarily resultsresulted from both lower forecasted revenues from, and operating margins at, specific companies within our United States facilitiesbuilding services segment.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment of our trade names was recognized.

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 certain of our other identifiable intangible assets for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2011 and 2009.2011. As a result of these reviews,this review, 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 facilitiesbuilding services segment for the year ended December 31, 2011 and a $2.0 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in2011. For the fair value of customer relationships associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment for the yearyears ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 20102013 and 2012, no impairment of our other identifiable intangible assets was recognized.

We have certain businesses, particularly within our United States industrial services segment, whose results are highly impacted by the demand for some of our offerings within the industrial and oil and gas markets. Future performance of this segment, along with a continued evaluation of the conditions of its end user markets, will be important to ongoing impairment assessments. Should its actual results suffer a decline or expected future results be revised downward, the risk of goodwill impairment or impairment of other identifiable intangible assets would increase.
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 informationThose assumptions and estimates can change in future periods, and other factors used in assessing fair value isare outside the control of management, such as interest rates, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods.rates. 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 future business plansperformance or anticipated growth rates and/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required, as we did in 2011, 2010 and 2009 to record further goodwill and/or identifiable intangible asset impairment charges in future periods.

During 2011, we recognized a $3.8 million non-cash impairment charge as discussed above. Of this amount, $2.8 million relatesrelated to customer relationships and $1.0 million relatesrelated 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.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have not used any derivative financial instruments except as discussed below, during the years ended December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, including trading or speculating on changes in interest rates or commodity prices of materials used in our business.

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for borrowings under the 2011 Revolving2013 Credit Facility and were exposed to market risk as it related to the interest rate swap.Agreement. Borrowings under the 2011 Revolving2013 Credit FacilityAgreement 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’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. As of December 31, 2011,2013, there were no borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 20112013 Revolving Credit Facility.Facility and the balance on the Term Loan was $350.0 million. Based on the $150.0$350.0 million borrowings outstanding on the 2011 Revolving2013 Credit Facility,Agreement, if overall interest rates were to increase by 25 basis

points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would increase by approximately $0.2$0.4 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$0.4 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’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’sManagement'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 facilitiesbuilding and industrial services operations. We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to gasoline prices for our fleet of over 8,0008,500 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. 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.

NOTE 1—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, the United KingdomStates. In addition, we provide a number of building services and in the world.industrial services. We specialize principally in providing construction services relating to electrical and mechanical systems in facilitiesall types of all typesnon-residential facilities and in providing comprehensivevarious services forrelating to the operation, maintenance and management of substantially all aspects of such facilities, commonly referred to as “facilities services.”

including refineries and petrochemical plants.

NOTE 2—2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

During the third quarter of 2013, we completed the acquisition of RepconStrickland, Inc. (“RSI”), a leading provider of turnaround and specialty services to the North American refinery and petrochemical markets. In connection with the acquisition of RSI and to reflect changes in our internal reporting structure and the information used by management to make operating decisions and assess performance, we created a new segment that includes RSI and certain businesses that had been part of our United States facilities services segment. The new segment is called the United States industrial services segment and the segment formerly named the United States facilities services segment has been renamed the United States building services segment.
Our reportable segments have been restated in all periods presented to reflect the changes in our segments referred to above. The segment formally named the United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment has been renamed the United Kingdom construction and building services segment. In addition, the results of operations for all periods presented reflect: (a) discontinued operations accounting due to the disposition in August 2011 of our interest in our Canadian subsidiary in August 2011 and (b) certain reclassifications of prior period amounts from our United States building services segment 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 the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-TypeRecognition-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 measure percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract. Pre-contract costs from our construction projects are generally expensed as incurred. Revenues from the performance of facilities services for maintenance, repair and retrofit work are recognized consistent with the performance of the services, which are

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,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

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. 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. Provisions for the entirety of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

During 2013, we recognized aggregate losses of approximately $24.5 million associated with two contracts within the United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment as a result of a change in contract estimates.

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 scope and/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’smanagement's intention to pursue and litigate such claims, if necessary, until a decisiondetermination 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. During 2012, we recognized approximately $9.5 million of profit from the settlement and payment of two claims within the United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. There was no significant profit recognized from settlements or payment of claims in 2013. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably determinable.

Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and related amounts billed as of December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)

As of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included unbilled revenues for unapproved change orders of approximately $14.5$19.2 million and $9.3$13.8 million, respectively, and claims of approximately $1.6$0.4 million and $6.3$0.7 million, respectively. In addition, accounts receivable as of December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 included claims

of approximately $0.2$2.9 million and $1.8$0.8 million respectively, plus, respectively. Additionally, there are contractually billed amounts and retention related to such contracts of $40.4$56.1 million and $42.7$41.0 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 relatedrelating to the performance of long-term contracts. The contracting cycle for certain long-termterm of our contracts may extend beyondranges from one year,month to four years and, accordingly, collection or payment of amounts relatedrelating to these contracts may extend beyond one year. Accounts receivable at December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 included $188.1$189.7 million and $213.8$178.6 million, respectively, of retainage billed under terms of theseour contracts. We estimate that approximately 77%85% of retainage recorded at December 31, 20112013 will be collected during 2012.2014. Accounts payable at December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 included $39.5$47.0 million and $42.8$39.7 million, respectively, of retainage withheld under terms of the contracts. We estimate that approximately 85%95% of retainage withheld at December 31, 20112013 will be paid during 2012.

2014.

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 inability to meet thetheir financial obligation,obligations, as well as historical collection and write-off experience. These amounts are re-evaluated and adjusted on a regular basis as additional information is received. Actual write-offs are charged against the allowance when collection efforts have been unsuccessful. At December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, our accounts receivable of $1,187.8$1,268.2 million and $1,090.9$1,222.0 million, respectively, included allowances for doubtful accounts of $16.7$11.9 million and $17.3$11.5 million, respectively. The provision for (recovery of) doubtful accounts during 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 20092011 amounted to approximately $2.2$3.5 million $(5.1), $1.2 million and $7.2$2.2 million, respectively.

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, 20102013, 2012 and 2009,2011, 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 9—8 - Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

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, 20112013 and 2010,2012, the estimated current portion of undiscounted insurance liabilities of $23.7$29.2 million and $21.8$25.5 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, 20112013 and 20102012 were $104.9$112.8 million and $98.5$108.1 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”.

Income Taxes

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 15—13 - 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-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

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, 2011,2013, we adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB updating existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. This guidance eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the consideration attributed to the delivered item. This may allow some companies to recognize revenue on transactions that involve multiple deliverables earlier than under previous requirements. We have determined that the adoption of the pronouncement did not have any effect on our financial position and/or results of operations, and we will review new and/or modified revenue arrangements after the adoption date to ensure compliance with this update.

On January 1, 2011, we adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB updating existing guidance on business combinations, which clarifies that if comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. We have considered the guidance in conjunction with acquisitions since its adoption.

On January 1, 2011, we adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by 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. We 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 eliminatesgiving companies the option to presentperform a qualitative impairment assessment for their indefinite-lived intangible assets that may allow them to skip the components of other comprehensive income as part of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equityannual fair value calculation. To perform a qualitative assessment, a company must identify and Comprehensive Income, which is our current presentation. It requires companiesevaluate changes in economic, industry and company-specific events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to presentdetermine 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 requirementsfair value 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 adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on our financial conditionposition or results of operations, though it will require enhanced disclosuresmay impact the manner in which we perform future or prospective testing for indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment.

On January 1, 2013, we adopted an accounting pronouncement requiring preparers to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). It also required companies to report changes in AOCI balances. Public companies must provide the required information (e.g., changes in AOCI balances and reclassifications out of AOCI) in interim and annual periods. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on our notes to consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, an accounting pronouncementBUSINESSES

On July 29, 2013, we completed the acquisition of RSI. This acquisition will expand and further strengthen our service offerings to new and existing customers and enhance our position within the industrial services and energy market sectors. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100% of RSI's stock for total consideration of $464.3 million. The acquisition was issued byfunded with cash on hand and $250.0 million from borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This acquisition was accounted for using the FASBacquisition method of accounting. We acquired working capital of $36.3 million and other net liabilities of $67.1 million, and have preliminarily ascribed $267.7 million to simplify how a company is requiredgoodwill and $227.4 million to testidentifiable intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of RSI, which has been included in our United States industrial services segment. We expect that $49.0 million of acquired goodwill will be deductible 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, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.tax purposes.

NOTE 3— ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSESOn

In June 30, 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.(Delaware), General Partnership. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100% of USM’s stock for total consideration of $251.1$251.0 million and 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$5.0 million and other net liabilities of $20.9$21.3 million, and have preliminarily ascribed $132.6$130.3 million to goodwill and $134.4$137.0 million to identifiable intangible assets in connection with thisthe acquisition of USM, which has been included in our United States facilitiesbuilding 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 existing facilities services operations.

NOTE 9—8 - GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill at December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 was approximately $566.8$834.8 million and $406.8$566.6 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 20112013 has been valued at $156.6 million.$268.2 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“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, 2011,2013, approximately 64.3%46.1% of our goodwill related to our United States facilitiesindustrial services segment, approximately 35.0%27.4% of our goodwill related to our United States building services segment, approximately 26.0% related to our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and approximately 0.7%0.5% related to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment.

We test for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level utilizinglevel. Our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 17, "Segment Information", of the notes to consolidated financial statements. In assessing whether our goodwill is impaired, we first qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount using various factors. If after this assessment we are unable to determine that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, we proceed to 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’sunit's goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’sunit'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, 20112013 was 13.6%12.1%, 12.6% and 12.3%11.1% for our domestic construction segments, our United States building services segment and our United States facilitiesindustrial services segment, respectively. The perpetual growth rate used for our annual testing was 2.7% for our domestic segments. Unfavorable changes in these key assumptions may affect future testing results and cause us to fail step one of the goodwill impairment testing process. For example, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 50 basis point increase in the weighted average costs of capital would cause the estimated fair value of our United Stated industrial services segment to approach its carrying value. A 50 basis point increase in the weighted average costs of capital would not significantly reduce the excess of the estimated fair value compared to the carrying value for any of our other domestic segments. In addition, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 50 basis point reduction in the perpetual growth rate would not significantly reduce the excess of the estimated fair value compared to the carrying value for any of our domestic segments. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 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.

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$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 facilitiesbuilding 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. The current yearThis impairment primarily resultsresulted from both lower forecasted revenues from, and lower operating margins at, specific companies within our United States facilitiesbuilding services segment.

NOTE 9— GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS — (Continued) impairment of our trade names was recognized.

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 certain of our other identifiable intangible assets for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2011 and 2009.2011. As a result of these reviews,this review, we recognized a $2.8$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 facilitiesbuilding services segment for the year ended December 31, 2011 and a $2.0 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in2011. For the fair value of customer relationships associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment for the yearyears ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010 2013 and 2012, 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 informationThose assumptions and estimates can change in future periods, and other factors used in assessing fair value isare outside the control of management, such as interest rates, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods.rates. 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 future business performance plans or anticipated growth rates and/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required, as we did in 2011 2010 and 2009,, to record goodwill and/or identifiable intangible asset impairment charges in future periods.

During 2011, we recognized a $3.8$3.8 million non-cash impairment charge as discussed above. Of this amount, $2.8$2.8 million relates related to customer relationships and $1.0$1.0 million relates related 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.

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 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 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 the counterparty’s nonperformance risk. The net liability was included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2009 included the accumulated loss, net of income taxes, on the cash flow hedge, of $0.6 million.

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 of 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 derivatives and/or hedging instruments outstanding.

NOTE 12—10 - 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—1 – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2—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—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, 20112013 and 2010December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - (Continued)

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 2011 Revolving2013 Credit FacilityAgreement approximates the fair value due to the variable rate on such debt.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had certain assets, specifically $0.9 million of indefinite lived intangible assets and $256.1 million of indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill, which were accounted for at fair market value on a non-recurring basis. We have determined that the fair value measurements of these non-financial assets are Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The decrease in the 2013 income tax provision compared to 2012 was primarily due to the effect of non-cash impairment charges, were 38.7%, (167.2)%reduced income before income taxes, a change in the mix of earnings among various jurisdictions and 37.8%, respectively.reversal of reserves for previously unrecognized income tax benefits. The increase in the 20112012 income tax provision compared to 2011 was primarily due to increased income before income taxes, the effect of a change in the United Kingdom statutory tax rate and a change in the allocationmix of earnings among various jurisdictions. The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $210.6 million during 2010. Approximately $34.0 million of this impairment is deductible for income tax purposes. The remaining $176.6 million of this impairment is not deductible for income tax purposes. This non-deductible portion had a significant impact on the effective tax rate for 2010.

We file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions.

In addition, we reversed $2.6 million and less than $0.1 million of accrued interest expense related to our unrecognized income tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, we had total income tax reserves included in “Other long-term liabilities” of $8.0$3.4 million and $8.8$13.9 million, respectively.

We file a consolidated federal income tax return including all of our U.S. subsidiaries. As of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, the total valuation allowance on net deferred income tax assets was approximately $3.4$2.2 million and $0.8$2.5 million respectively., respectively, primarily related to state and local net operating losses. The reason for the net increasedecrease in the valuation allowance for 20112012 was related to 2011 acquisitions, partially offset by the expiration of net capital loss carryforwards, partially offset by state and local net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2013, we had trading and capital losses for United Kingdom income tax purposes of approximately $34.7 million, which have no expiration date. Such losses are subject to review by the United Kingdom taxing authority. Realization of the deferred income tax assets is dependent on our generating sufficient taxable income. We believe that the deferred income tax assets will be realized through the future reversal of existing taxable temporary

differences and projected future income. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax asset, net of the valuation allowance discussed above, will be realized. The amount of the deferred income tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future income are reduced.

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.

Defined Benefit Plans

Our United Kingdom subsidiary has a defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees (the “UK Plan”). On; however, no individual joining the company after October 31, 2001 the UK Plan was closed to new entrants. As a result, employees joining the subsidiary after this date were not eligible tomay participate in the plan. On May 31, 2010, we curtailed the future accrual of benefits for active employees participating inunder 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 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 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“Compensation-Retirement Benefits” (“ASC 715”). ASC 715 requires that (a) the funded status, which is measured as the difference between the fair value of

For 2013 and 2012, the annual rate of return on plan assets has been determined by modeling possible returns using the actuary's portfolio return calculator. This models the long term expected returns of the various asset classes held in the portfolio and allows for the additional benefits of holding a diversified portfolio. The annual rate of return on plan assets isfor 2011 was based on the yield of risk-free bonds, plus an estimated equity-risk premium, at each year’syear'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 20112013 and 20102012 were 2.2%2.3% and 3.4%2.0%, 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—This1-This asset represents cash.

Level 2—These2-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—Assets3-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.

Multiemployer Plans

We participate in over 175200 multiemployer pension plans (“MEPPs”) that provide retirement benefits to certain union employees in accordance with various collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”). As one of many participating employers in these MEPPs, we are responsible with the other participating employers for any plan underfunding. Our contributions to a particular MEPP are established by the applicable 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 plan (“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, changes in actuarial 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, the 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 payments to MEPPs if we either cease to have an obligation to contribute to the MEPP or significantly reduce our contributions to the MEPP because we reduce our number of employees who are covered by the relevant MEPP for various reasons, including, but not limited to, layoffs or closure of a subsidiary assuming the MEPP has unfunded vested benefits. The amount of such payments (known as a complete or partial withdrawal liability) would equal our proportionate share of the MEPPs’MEPPs' 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’sMEPP's current financial situation, we are unable to determine (a) the amount and timing of any future withdrawal liability, if any, and (b) whether our participation in these MEPPs could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition,position, results of operations or liquidity. We recorded a withdrawal liability of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We did not record any withdrawal liability for the years ended December 31, 20112012 and 2010. We recorded approximately $1.0 million for withdrawal liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The nature and diversity of our business may result in volatility ofin the amount of our contributions to a particular MEPP for any given period.

December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 20092011 for these plans were $12.8$22.6 million $11.0, $20.7 million and $9.7$12.8 million, respectively. The increase in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in matching contributions for one of these plans. At our discretion, we may make additional supplemental matching contributions to a defined contribution retirement and savings plan. The expenses recognized related to additional supplemental contributionsmatching for the years ended December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 20092011 were $4.5$4.0 million $6.2, $3.6 million and $7.6$3.0 million, respectively.

Our United Kingdom subsidiary has defined contribution retirement plans. The expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 20092011 was $6.0$5.0 million $5.1, $5.7 million and $3.3$6.0 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.

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

The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies (“Surety Companies”) and provide to sureties in respectour customers payment and performance bonds (“Surety Bonds”) as a condition to the award of performance and payment bonds issued by sureties, usually at the request of customers in connection with construction projects, whichsuch contracts. The Surety Bonds secure our payment and performance obligations under such contracts, and we have agreed to indemnify the Surety Companies for such projects.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, bondsSurety Bonds are sometimes provided to secure obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for such employees. OurPublic 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, 2011,2013, based on our percentage-of-completion of our projects covered by surety bonds,Surety Bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, had there been

defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was approximately $1.2 billion.$0.8 billion. The surety bondsSurety Bonds are issued by surety companiesSurety 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, 2011,2013, we employed over 25,00027,000 people, approximately 61%57% of whom are represented by various unions pursuant to more than 400375 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.

Restructuring expenses, primarily relating to employee severance obligations and/or the termination of leased facilities, were $11.7 million, $0.1 million and $1.2 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 2013 restructuring expenses were primarily related to employee severance obligations and the termination of leased facilities in the construction operations of our United Kingdom construction and building services segment. The 2012 restructuring expenses were $1.2 million, $1.8 millionprimarily attributable to employee severance obligations and $3.3 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Government Contracts
As a government contractor, we are subject to U.S. government audits and investigations relating to our operations, fines, penalties and compensatory and treble damages, and possible suspension or debarment from doing business with the government. Based on currently available information, we believe the outcome of ongoing government disputes and investigations will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Legal Matters

One of our subsidiaries was a subcontractor to a mechanical contractor ("Mechanical Contractor") on a construction project where an explosion occurred. An investigation of the matter could not determine who was responsible for the explosion. As a result of the explosion, lawsuits have been commenced against various parties, but, to date, no lawsuits have been commenced against our subsidiary with respect to personal injury or damage to property as a consequence of the explosion. However, the Mechanical Contractor has asserted claims, in the context of an arbitration proceeding against our subsidiary, alleging that our subsidiary is responsible for a portion of the damages for which the Mechanical Contractor may be liable as a result of: (a) losses asserted by the owner of the project and/or the owner's general contractor because of delays in completion of the project and damages to its property, (b) personal injury suffered by individuals as a result of the explosion and (c) the Mechanical Contractor's legal fees in defending against any and all such claims. We believe, and have been advised by counsel, that we have a number of meritorious defenses to all such matters. We believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Notwithstanding our assessment of the final impact of this matter, we are not able to estimate with any certainty the amount of loss, if any, which would be associated with an adverse resolution.
One of our subsidiaries, USM, Inc. ("USM"), doing business in California provides, among other things, janitorial services to its customers by having those services performed by independent janitorial companies. USM and one of its customers, which owns retail stores (the “Customer”), are co-defendants in a federal class action lawsuit brought by employees of two of USM’s California local janitorial contractors. The action was commenced on September 5, 2013 in a Superior Court of California and was removed by USM on November 22, 2013 to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The employees allege in their complaint, among other things, that USM and the Customer violated a California statute that prohibits USM from entering into a contract with a janitorial contractor when it knows or should know that the contract does not include funds sufficient to allow the janitorial contractor to comply with all local, state and federal laws or regulations governing the labor or services to be provided. The employees have asserted that the amounts USM pays to its janitorial contractors are insufficient to allow those janitorial contractors to meet their obligations regarding, among other things, wages due for all hours their employees worked, minimum wages, overtime pay and meal and rest breaks. These employees seek to represent not only themselves, but also all other individuals who provided janitorial services at the Customer’s stores in California during the relevant four year time period. We do not believe USM or the Customer has violated the California statute or that the employees may bring the action as a class action on behalf of other employees of janitorial companies with whom USM contracted for the provision of janitorial services to the Customer. However, if the pending lawsuit is certified as a class action and USM is found to have violated the California statute, USM might have to pay significant damages and might be subject to similar lawsuits regarding the provision of janitorial services to its other customers in California. The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that USM has violated the California statute, monetary damages, including all unpaid wages and thereon, restitution for unpaid wages, and an award of attorney fees and costs.
We are involved in several other proceedings in which damages and claims have been asserted against us. Other potential claims may exist that have not yet 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 materiallymaterial adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation matters for which reserves have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of EMCOR Group, Inc.:

We have audited EMCOR Group, Inc. and subsidiaries’subsidiaries' (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control—IntegratedControl-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 Framework) (the COSO criteria). The Company’sCompany'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’sManagement's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sCompany'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’scompany'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’scompany'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’scompany'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.


As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of RepconStrickland, Inc. ("RSI"), which is included in the 2013 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted $560.0 million, or 16.2%, of the Company's total assets as of December 31, 2013 and $123.6 million, or 1.9%, of the Company's revenues for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of RSI.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011,2013, 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, 20112013 and 2010,2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, andcomprehensive income, equity and comprehensive income (loss)cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20112013 of the Company and our report dated February 27, 201225, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as required by Rules 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 in Rule 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

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 in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-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.

In July 2013, EMCOR acquired RepconStrickland, Inc. ("RSI"). Since EMCOR has not yet fully incorporated the internal controls and procedures of RSI into EMCOR's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, management excluded this business from its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. RSI accounted for $560.0 million, or 16.2%, of EMCOR's total assets as of December 31, 2013 and $123.6 million of revenues, or 1.9%, of EMCOR's total revenues for the year then ended.
As of December 31, 2011,2013, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, with the exception of the previously mentioned RSI acquisition, 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’sEMCOR's internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2011.2013.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20112013 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which such report expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

2013.

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 in Rules 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, 20112013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

reporting, aside from the previously mentioned acquisition of RSI. As part of its ongoing integration activities, EMCOR is continuing to incorporate its controls and procedures into RSI.
