Reorganization
On October 25, 2011, Insituform Technologies, LLC (formerly known as Insituform Technologies, Inc.) reorganized by creating a new holding company structure (the “Corporate Reorganization”). The new parent company, Aegion Corporation (“Aegion”), includes Insituform Technologies, LLC (“Insituform”) as a wholly owned direct subsidiary. As part of the Corporate Reorganization, Insituform’s outstanding shares of common stock (and associated attached preferred stock rights) were automatically converted, on a share for share basis, into identical shares of Aegion common stock (and associated attached preferred stock rights).
Upon effectiveness of the Corporate Reorganization, Aegion’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, executive officers and board of directors were identical to Insituform’s in effect immediately prior to the Corporate Reorganization, and the rights, privileges and interests of Insituform’s former stockholders remain the same with respect to the new holding company. Additionally, as a result of the Corporate Reorganization, Aegion is deemed the successor registrant to Insituform under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shares of Aegion common stock are deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

Overview

We are a global leader in infrastructure protection and maintenance, providing proprietary technologies and services toto: (i) protect against the corrosion of industrial pipelinespipelines; (ii) rehabilitate and for the rehabilitation and strengthening of sewer,strengthen water, wastewater, energy and mining piping systems and buildings, bridges, tunnels and waterfront structures. We offer onestructures; and (iii) utilize integrated professional services in engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance, and turnaround services for a broad range of the broadest portfolios of cost-effective solutions for rehabilitating aging or deteriorating infrastructure and protecting new infrastructure from corrosion.energy related industries. Our business activities include research and development, manufacturing, distribution, maintenance, construction, installation, coating and insulation, cathodic protection, research and development and licensing. Our acquisition of Brinderson, L.P. and related entities (“Brinderson”) on July 1, 2013 opens new markets for us through the maintenance, engineering and construction services for downstream and upstream facilities in the North American oil and gas market. Our products and services are currently utilized and performed in more than 10080 countries across six continents. We believe that the depth and breadth of our products and services platform make us a leading “one-stop” provider for the world’s infrastructure rehabilitation and protection needs.

Our Company is primarily built on the premise that it is possible to use technology to extend the structural design life and maintain, if not improve, the performance of infrastructure, mostly pipe. We are proving that this expertise can be applied in a variety of markets to protect pipelines in oil, gas, mining, wastewater, water applications and extending this to the rehabilitation and maintenance of commercial structures. Many types of infrastructure must be protected from the corrosive and abrasive materials that pass through or near them. Our expertise in non-disruptive corrosion engineering and abrasion protection is now wide-ranging, opening new markets for growth. We have beena long history of product development and intellectual property management. We manufacture most of the engineered solutions we create as well as the specialized equipment required to install them. Finally, decades of experience give us an innovatoradvantage in understanding municipal, energy, mining, industrial and commercial customers. Strong customer relationships and brand recognition allow us to support the markets we serve since our inception. In 1971, weexpansion of existing and innovative technologies into new high growth end markets.
We originally incorporated in Delaware in 1980 to act as the exclusive United States licensee of the Insituform® cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) process, which Insituform’s founder invented ain 1971. The Insituform® CIPP process served as the first trenchless technology for rehabilitating sewer pipelines that enablesand has enabled municipalities and private industry to avoid the extraordinary expense and extreme disruption that can result from conventional “dig-and-replace” methods. For over 40 years, we have maintained our leadership position in the CIPP market from manufacturing, to technological innovations and market share.
In order to strengthen our ability to service the emerging demands of the infrastructure protection market and to better position our Company for sustainable growth, we embarked on a diversification strategy in 2009 to expand our product and service portfolio

and our geographical reach. Through a series of strategic initiatives and key acquisitions, we now possess a broad portfolio of cost-effective solutions for rehabilitating and maintaining aging or deteriorating infrastructure and protecting new infrastructure from corrosion worldwide.
We are organized into four reportable segments: Energy and Mining; North American Water and Wastewater; International Water and Wastewater; and Commercial and Structural. We regularly review and evaluate our reportable segments. Market changes between the segments are typically independent of each other, unless a macroeconomic event affects the water and wastewater rehabilitation markets, the oil, mining and gas markets and the commercial and structural markets concurrently. These changes exist for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, local economic conditions, weather-related issues and levels of government funding.
Our platform has grownlong-term strategy consists of:
expanding our position in the growing and profitable energy and mining sector through organic growth, selective acquisitions of companies, formation of strategic alliances and by conducting complimentary product and technology acquisitions;
capitalizing on energy and mining opportunities afforded by “nested” customer relationships — fostering growth across our subsidiaries, increasing cross selling opportunities and generating a greater stream of recurring revenues, thereby reducing project volatility;
optimizing our water and wastewater rehabilitation operations by: (i) improving project execution, cost management practices, including the reduction of redundant fixed costs, and product mix; (ii) identifying opportunities to includestreamline key management functions and processes to improve our profitability; and (iii) strongly emphasizing higher return manufacturing operations;
growing market opportunities in the commercial and structural infrastructure sector through: (i) continued customer acceptance of current products and services for thetechnologies; (ii) expansion of our product and service offerings with respect to protection, rehabilitation and restoration of a broader group of infrastructure assets; and (iii) leveraging our premier brand and experience of successfully innovating and delivering technologies and services through selective acquisitions of companies and technologies and through strategic alliances; and
expanding all of our businesses in key emerging markets such as Asia and the Middle East.
Today our diverse portfolio of full service solutions includes:
Cathodic Protection and Coating Services for Corrosion Control and Infrastructure Rehabilitation: Through our subsidiary, Corrpro Companies, Inc. (“Corrpro”) and its affiliated companies, we offer corrosion protection solutions, most notably through cathodic protection, a time tested pipeline corrosion mitigation technology that is mandated by regulatory rules in many types of new and existing water, oil, gas, mineral and chemical pipelines as well as other infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, railways and waterfront structures.

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1980, under the name Insituform of North America, Inc. We were originally formed to act as the exclusive licensee of the Insituform® cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) process in most of the United States. When we acquired our licensor in 1992, our name changed to Insituform Technologies, Inc. Around that same time, we also acquired United Pipeline Systems Inc.pipeline systems, through which we provide polyethylene pipe lining solutions. Our business model has evolved from purely licensing technologyengineering and manufacturing materials to performinginspection services by National Association of Corrosion Engineers International (NACE) trained and certified inspectors (one of the entire Insituform® CIPP process and other trenchless technologies and rehabilitating and performinglargest independent consulting corrosion protection services for industrial pipelines and rehabilitating and strengthening other infrastructure in most geographic locations.

Corporate Reorganization
Recognizing that the breadth of our offerings expanded beyond our flagship Insituform® brand, which constituted less than half of our revenue in 2011, we reorganized Insituform Technologies, Inc. (“Insituform”), our parent company at the time, into a new holding company structure (“Corporate Reorganization”) in October 2011. Aegion became the new parent company and Insituform became a wholly owned subsidiary of Aegion. Other expected benefits to be derived from the new holding company structure include improved tax efficiencies, facilitation of cost-effective repatriations of cash to the United States and better management of legal liabilities. Aegion reflects our mission of extending our leadership capabilities to furnish products and services to provide long-term protection an electrochemical process that prevents corrosion in newfor water and wastewater pipes, oil and gas pipelines, as well as commercial and governmental structures and stopstransportation infrastructure.
Strategic Initiatives and Key Acquisitions to Support our Diversification Strategy
We operate in three distinct markets: energy and mining; water and wastewater; and commercial and structural services. Management organizes itself around differences in products and services, as well as by geographic areas. Within the corrosion processwater and wastewater market, we operate in two distinct geographies: North America and internationally outside of North America. As such, we organized into four reportable segments: Energy and Mining; North American Water and Wastewater; International Water and Wastewater; and Commercial and Structural. Each segment is regularly reviewed and evaluated separately.
During the first quarter of 2013, we re-organized our Water and Wastewater businesses to bring all of its operations under one central leadership team. We hired a Senior Vice President-Global Water and Wastewater and a Vice President of International Water and Wastewater. The Vice President of International Water and Wastewater is responsible for existing structures.the European Water and Wastewater operations as well as the Asia-Pacific Water and Wastewater operations and reports directly to the Senior Vice President-Global Water and Wastewater. In connection with this management re-organization, we combined our European Water and Wastewater and Asia-Pacific Water and Wastewater reportable segments into one reportable segment titled International Water and Wastewater.

Primarily focused on serving large oil and gas customers in California, Brinderson’s competitive advantages include its industry-leading safety record, a strong reputation for reliability and quality and comprehensive solutions needed for upstream oil field and downstream major refinery maintenance, repairs and retrofits. These core competencies position Brinderson to meet the growing demand for non-discretionary operating and maintenance expenditures. The transaction purchase price was $150.0 million, which resulted in a cash purchase price at closing of $147.6 million after preliminary working capital adjustments and an adjustment to account for cash held in the business at closing. The cash purchase price was funded by the Company’s new $650.0 million senior secured credit facility as discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report.
During the second quarter of 2013, our Board of Directors approved a plan of liquidation for our Bayou Welding Works (“BWW”) business in an effort to improve our overall financial performance and align the operations with our long-term strategic initiatives. BWW provided specialty welding and fabrication services from its facility in New Iberia, Louisiana. Financial results for BWW were part of our Energy and Mining segment for financial reporting purposes. BWW ceased bidding new work and substantially completed all ongoing projects during the second quarter of 2013. As a result of the closure of BWW, we recognized a pre-tax, non-cash charge of approximately $3.9 million ($2.4 million after-tax, or $0.06 per diluted share) to reflect the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. We also recognized additional non-cash impairment charges for equipment and other assets of approximately $1.1 million on a pre-tax basis ($0.7 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.02 per diluted share). We expect the cash liquidation value to approximate net asset value. Net asset value is determined using recorded amounts for assets and liabilities, which are based on Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report. We also incurred cash charges to exit the business of approximately $0.1 million on a pre-tax and post-tax basis, which included property, equipment and vehicle lease termination and buyout costs, employee termination benefits and retention incentives, among other ancillary shut-down expenses. Final liquidation of BWW’s assets is expected to occur by year-end 2014.

Technologies

Pipeline System Rehabilitation and Protection – Energy and Mining

Our Tite Liner® process is a method of lining new and existing pipe with a corrosion and abrasion resistant high-density polyethylene pipe.
Our Safetyliner product is a grooved HDPE liner that is installed in an industrial pipeline using the Tite Liner®process. The Safetyliner liner is normally used in natural gas or CO2 pipelines to allow release of gas that permeates the HDPE liner. If gas is allowed to build in the annular space under normal operating conditions, the line can be susceptible to collapse upon sudden changes in operating pressures. The Safetyliner liner also has been used in pipelines as a leak detection system and for dual containment in mine water pipelines.

The Fusion-Bonded Epoxy (“FBE”) ProcessFBE application process utilizes heat to melt a dry powder fusion-bonded epoxyFBE coating material into liquid form. The liquid material wets and flows onto the steel pipe and solidifies through a process called cross-linking. Once cooled, this “fusion-bonded” epoxy cannot return to its original state and forms a corrosion protection barrier on the interior or exterior surface of the pipe.

Our InnerGard product is an internal fusion bond epoxyFBE coating that provides corrosion protection for water injection lines and reduces costs compared to alloy pipe.

Our Enventure product is an internal lubricity coating for solid expandable downhole tubulars.

The Cathodic Protection process is an electrochemical process that prevents corrosion for new structures and stops the corrosion process for existing structures. Cathodic protection prevents the release of energy and reversion to its unrefined state by the cathode, the structure being protected, through the passing of an electrical current from an electrode, called an anode, placed near or connected to the cathode. In this process, the anode corrodes, sacrificing itself to protect the integrity of the cathode. Structures commonly protected by this process include oil and gas pipelines, offshore platforms, above and underground storage tanks, ships, electric power plants, bridges, parking garages, transit systems and water and wastewater treatment equipment.

Our CoatCheck product includes instruments for measuring pipe joint and surface treatment quality parameters.
Our CorrFlex®System System is a linear anode system installed parallel to pipelines, often times to prevent stress corrosion cracking that can lead to ruptures on high pressure gas transmission pipelines.

Our CorrSpray® product isprovides a metal alloy usedunique solution for cathodic protectionpreventing corrosion of steel reinforcedreinforcements in concrete structures.

Our Green Rectifier® system is an ecologically friendly method of cathodic protection using solar panels and a wind generator to power the cathodic protection process.
Our Grid System has set the global standard for preventing releases from external corrosion of at grade storage tanks containing oil and petroleum products, thereby ensuring safe operations and protection of the environment.

Beginning with advanced predictive modeling, we then design mitigation schemes and provide systems to protect people and the pipeline.
Water and Wastewater Rehabilitation

Our Insituform®CIPP Process for the rehabilitation of sewers, pipelines and other conduits utilizes a custom-manufactured tube, or liner, made of synthetic fiber. After the tube is saturated (impregnated) with a thermosetting resin mixture, it is installed in the host pipe by various processes, and the resin is then cured, by heat using hot water or steam, forming a new rigid pipe within a pipe.

Our iPlus®Infusion®Process is a trenchless method used for the rehabilitation of small-diameter sewer pipelines, whereby a felt liner is continuously impregnated with liquid, thermosetting resin through a proprietary process, after which the liner is pulled into the host pipe, inflated with air and cured with steam.

Our iPlus®Composite Process is a trenchless method used for the rehabilitation of large-diameter sewer pipelines, where the felt liner is reinforced with carbon or glass fiber, impregnated with liquid, thermosetting resin, inverted into place and cured with hot water or steam.

Our InsituMain®System is a cured-in-place pipe solution for pressure pipes.pipes. The InsituMain® System is for water mains and force mains up to 54-inches in diameter, can negotiate bends and is pressure-rated up to 150+150 psi. The InsituMain® System has also been certified as complying with ANSI/NSF Standard 61.
Our InsituGuard®,InsituFlex® and InsituFold® Processesprocesses are methods of rehabilitating transmission and distribution water mains using HDPE liners. Inserted into a new or existing pipeline by our proprietary installation processes, the liners are continuous and installed tightly against the inner wall of the host pipe, thereby isolating the flow stream from the host pipe wall and eliminating internal corrosion.

Our Thermopipe®Lining System is a polyester-reinforced polyethylene lining system for the rehabilitation of distribution water mains. The factory-folded “C” shape liner is winched into the host pipe from a reel and reverted with air and steam. Once inflated and heated, the liner forms a close-fit within the host pipe, creating a jointless, leak-free lining system.

Our iTAP®Process is a robotic method for reinstating service connections from inside a relined pipe. Traditionally, service connections are restored by excavating each service connection when a water distribution main is renewed with a trenchless process. The iTAP® process provides a non-disruptive solution to reconnect service lines from inside a relined pipe.

Our Insituform RPP Processprocess is a trenchless technology used for the rehabilitation of sewer force mains and industrial pressure pipelines. The felt tube is reinforced with glass and impregnated with liquid, thermosetting resin, after which it is inverted with water and cured with hot water to form a structural, jointless pipe within the host pipe.

Our InsituformPPL® Processprocess is an ANSI/NSF 61 certifieda trenchless technology certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 used for the rehabilitation of drinking water and industrial pressure pipelines. A glass-reinforced liner is impregnated with an epoxy or vinyl ester resin, inverted with water and cured with hot water to form a jointless pipe lining within the host pipe.

Sliplining is a method used to push or pull a new pipeline into an old one. With segmented sliplining, short segments of pipe are joined to form the new pipe. For gravity sewer rehabilitation, these short segments can often be joined in a manhole or access structure, eliminating the need for a large pulling pit.

Our Sealing Method process is a method for providing re-connection to a ferrule of a service line from within the bore of a lined host pipe.

In Europe, our Our UV/Glass Lining System is a cured in place pipe solution for small- to medium-diameter pipes utilizing a glass fiber tube that is impregnated with a resin sensitive to ultraviolet light or steam curing. The tube is invertedpulled into place in the host pipe, inflated by air and cured via an ultraviolet light source or steam.

We licenselicensed certain trademarks to Insituform-Germany for use in Germany, Hungary and Slovakia. The remaining interest in Insituform-Germany iswas held by Per Aarsleff A/S, an unaffiliated Danish contractor.

In June 2013, we sold our fifty percent (50%We previously) interest in Insituform-Germany. Insituform-Germany. The sale price was €14 million, approximately $18.3 million. The sale resulted in a gain on the sale of approximately $11.3 million (net of $0.5 million of transaction expenses) recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations. In connection with the sale, Insituform-Germany also entered into a number of contractual joint ventures to develop joint bids on contracts for pipeline rehabilitation projects in India. The joint venture partner for each of these joint ventures is SPML Infra Limited (formerly Subhash Projects and Marketing Ltd.) (“SPML”), an unaffiliated Indian contractor. The joint ventures hold the contractstube supply agreement with the owner and subcontract that portionCompany whereby Insituform-Germany will purchase on an annual basis at least GBP 2.3 million, approximately $3.6 million, of felt cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) liners during the work requiring the Insituform® CIPP processtwo-year period from June 26, 2013 to Insituform Pipeline Rehabilitation Private Limited, an entity majority owned by us, and minority owned by SPML (“Insituform-India”).

other forty-five percent (45%) equity interest held by PT Graha Citra Anugerah Lestari.
We have previously entered into teaming and other cooperative arrangements in various geographic regions throughout the world in order to develop cooperative bids on contracts for our HDPE pipeline rehabilitation and cathodic protection businesses. Typically, the arrangements provide for each participant to complete its respective scope of work, and we are not required to complete the other participant’s scope of work. We continue to investigate opportunities for expanding our business through such arrangements.

11



We previously entered into contractual joint ventures in other geographic regions in order to develop joint bids on contracts for our pipeline rehabilitation business. Typically, the joint venture entity holds the contract with the owner and subcontracts portions of the work to the joint venture partners. As part of the subcontracts, the partners usually provide bonds to the joint venture. We could be required to complete our joint venture partner’s portion of the contract if the partner were unable to complete its portion and a bond is not available. We continue to investigate opportunities for expanding our business through such arrangements.

Product Development

By using our own laboratories and testtesting facilities, as well as outside consulting organizations and academic institutions, we continue to develop improvements to our proprietary processes, including the materials used and the methods of manufacturing and installing liners and for protecting and rehabilitating pipelines, buildings, bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 2009,2011, we spent $2.2$2.6 million, $2.7$1.8 million and $2.6$2.2 million, respectively, on research and development related activities, including engineering.

Customers and Marketing

We offer our products and services to highly diverse markets worldwide. We service municipal, state and federal governments, as well as corporate customers, in numerous industries including energy, oil and gas, mining, general and industrial construction, infrastructure (buildings, bridges, tunnels, railways, etc.), water and wastewater, pipelines, transportation, maritime and defense. Our products and services are currently utilized and performed in more than 10080 countries across six continents.

We offer our energy and mining platform solutions worldwide to energy and mining and other customers to protect new and existing pipelines and other structures. The marketing of sewer pipeline rehabilitation technologies is focused primarily on the municipal wastewater markets worldwide. We offer our water rehabilitation products to municipal and corporate customers. We offer our commercial and structural products worldwide to certain certified third party installers and applicators and market our installation services to municipal, state, federal and corporate customers worldwide. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 or 2009.

2011.
To help shape decision-making at every step, we use a highly-trained, multi-level sales force structured around target markets and key accounts, focusing on engineers, consultants, administrators, technical staff and public officials. Due to the technical nature of our products and services, many of our sales personnel have engineering or technical expertise and experience. We also produce sales literature and presentations, participate in trade shows and execute other marketing programs for our own sales force and those of unaffiliated licensees. Our unaffiliated licensees are responsible for marketing and sales activities in their respective territories. See “Licensees” and “Ownership Interests in Operating Licensees and Joint Ventures” above for a description of our licensing operations and for a description of investments in licensees.

We generally invoice our customers periodically as work is completed. Under ordinary circumstances, collection from municipalities is made within 60 to 90 days of billing. In most cases, 5% to 15% of the contract value is withheld by the municipal owner pending satisfactory completion of the project. Collections from other customers are generally made within 30 to 45 days of billing.

Contract Backlog

Contract backlog is our expectation of revenues to be generated from received, signed and uncompleted contracts, the cancellation of which is not currently anticipated.anticipated at the time of reporting. The Company assumes that these signed contracts are funded. For its government or municipal contracts, the Company’s customers generally obtain funding through local budgets or pre-approved bond financing. The Company has not undertaken a process to verify funding status of these contracts and, therefore, cannot reasonably estimate what portion, if any, of its contracts in backlog have not been funded. However, the Company has little history of signed contracts being canceled due to the lack of funding. Contract backlog excludes any term contract amounts for which there isare not specific and determinable work releasedreleases and projects where we have been advised that we are the low bidder, but have not formally been awarded the contract.

Within our Energy and Mining and Commercial and Structural segments, certain contracts are performed through our variable interest entities, in which we own a controlling portion of the entity. As of December 31, 2013, 2.8% and 0.9% of our Energy and Mining hard backlog and Commercial and Structural backlog, respectively, related to performthese variable interest entities. With the exception of Brinderson, a substantial majority of our contracts in these two segments are fixed price contracts with individual private businesses and municipal and federal government entities across the backlog reported aboveworld. Brinderson, on the other hand, generally enters into cost reimbursable contracts that are based on costs incurred at December 31, 2011 during 2012.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

The product and service revenues for our UPSUnited Pipeline Systems business are derived primarily from the manufacturing and installation of polyethylene liners inside pipelines. The raw material used for these liners is extruded HDPE pipe. It has been our practice to purchase this material from a selective group of suppliers; however, we believe that it is readily available from many other sources. We manufacture most of the proprietary equipment and many of the consumable items used in Tite Liner® system installations in our own facilities in Canada, the United States and Chile.

Product and service revenues for our Bayou businessbusinesses are derived principally from internal and external pipeline coating, lining, weighting and insulation. Bayou also provides specialty fabrication services for offshore deep-water installations, including project management and logistics. Bayou facilities are located in New Iberia, Louisiana; Conroe, Texas; Bakersfield, California; and Camrose, Alberta, Canada. The primary raw materials used in the coating process include fusion-bonded epoxy,FBE, paint, concrete, iron ore, sand and gravel. Although our historical practice has been to purchase materials from a limited number of suppliers, we believe that the raw materials used in the coating process are typically available from multiple sources.

Product and material revenues for our Corrpro business are derived principally from the sale of products that are purchased from select outside vendors or from assembling components that are sourced from suppliers. We conduct light assembly for a number of our Corrpro products in our production facilities in Sand Springs, Oklahoma;Oklahoma, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada;Canada, Great Britain, Dubai and the United Kingdom.Saudi Arabia. In addition, we manufacture our own line of rectifiers and other power supplies in Canada.Canada, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. The primary products and raw materials used by our Corrpro businesses include zinc, aluminum, magnesium and other metallic anodes, as well as wire and cable. We maintain relationships with our vendors for these products and are not dependent on any single vendor to meet our supply needs.

We maintain our North American Insituform® CIPP process liner manufacturing facility in Batesville, Mississippi. In Europe, we manufacture and sell Insituform® CIPP process liners from our plant located in Wellingborough, United Kingdom. Although raw materials used in Insituform® CIPP process products are typically available from multiple sources, our historical practice has been to purchase materials from a limited number of suppliers. We maintain our own felt manufacturing facility in Batesville, Mississippi. Substantially all of our fiber requirements are purchased from two sources, but there are alternate vendors readily available. We source our resin supply from multiple vendors. We also manufacture certain equipment used in our Insituform® CIPP business. We believe that the sources of supply for our Insituform® CIPP operations in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific are adequate for our needs.

11



We sell Insituform® CIPP process liners and related products to third parties and certain licensees on a project to project basis. In Europe, in addition to sales made on a project toby project basis, we have entered into supply agreements with various third parties to supply them with Insituform® CIPP process liners and related products.

The principal raw materials used by Fyfe Co. in the manufacture of FRP composite materials are carbon, glass, resins, fabric, and epoxy raw materials. Fabric and epoxies are the largest materials purchased, which are currently purchased through a select group of suppliers, although these and the other materials are available from a number of vendors. The weaving of FRP fiber components into woven fabric is done at our facility in La Conner, Washington. Fyfe Co. manufactures the unique epoxy resinepoxies from basic chemicals at our San Diego, California facility. Epoxy resin repackaging is then done at our San Diego, California facility and the specialized blending is usually done on each job site. Fyfe Co. also sells finished materials throughout the United States and worldwide to our affiliates and certain certified third party installers and applicators.

Our pricing of raw materials is subject to fluctuations in the underlying commodity prices. See “Commodity Risk” in Item 7A of this report for detail on our management of the risks associated with such price fluctuations.

Patents and Proprietary Technologies

For our energy and mining operations, we hold eightseven issued patents and onetwo pending patentpatents in the United States and 17seven issued patents in foreign jurisdictions that relate to our cathodic protection business operated through our Corrpro and Hockway subsidiaries and interior surface coating inspection business operated through our CRTS subsidiary. We have one issued patent in the United States, and three16 pending patents in foreign jurisdictions that relate to the Tite Liner® process, although we believe that the success of our Tite Liner® process business depends primarily upon our proprietary know-how and our installation, marketing and sales skills. The success of our pipeline coatings process operating through our Bayou subsidiaries depends primarily on our know-how and manufacturing expertise as well as our marketing and sales skills.

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we held 3128 United States patents relating to the Insituform® CIPP process, the last of which will expire in 2027.2031. As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had twothree pending United States non-provisional patent applications relating to the Insituform® CIPP process.

We have obtained and are pursuing patent protection in our principal foreign markets covering various aspects of the Insituform® CIPP process. As of December 31, 2011,2013, there were 144187 issued foreign patents and utility models relating to the Insituform® CIPP processes, and 10445 applications pending in foreign jurisdictions. Of these applications, fourtwo are pending before the European Patent Office (designating all 3438 member states) and one is a Patent Cooperation Treaty application that covers multiple jurisdictions in Europe and throughout the world.. The specifications and/or rights granted in relation to each patent will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In addition, as a result of differences in the nature of the work performed and in the climate of the countries in which the work is carried out, not every licensee uses each patent, and we do not necessarily seek patent protection for all of our inventions in every jurisdiction in which we do business. We have elected to maintain certain internally developed technologies, know-how and inventions as trade secrets. We have entered into confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and third parties to whom we disclose confidential information. Although there can be no assurance that these measures will suffice to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use or that third parties will not develop similar technologies, we believe it would take substantial time and resources to independently develop such technologies.

For our commercial and structural operations, we hold 1420 issued patents and fivesix pending patents in the United States and nine issued and seven42 pending patents in foreign jurisdictions that relate to our FRP strengthening business operated through our Fyfe and Fibrwrap subsidiaries.

Of these applications, three are Patent Cooperation Treaty applications that cover multiple jurisdictions in Europe and throughout the world.
There can be no assurance that the validity of our patents will not be successfully challenged. Our business could be adversely affected by increased competition upon expiration of the patents or if one or more of our patents were adjudicated to be invalid or inadequate in scope to protect our operations. We believe in either case that our long experience with the proprietary processes, our continued commitment to support and develop our processes, the strength of our trademarks and our degree of market penetration should enable us to continue to compete effectively in the pipeline rehabilitation, energy and mining and infrastructure protection markets.

See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this report for further discussion.

Competition

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, primarily on the basis of price, quality of service and capacity to perform. Most of our products face direct competition from competitors offering similar or essentially equivalent products or services. In addition, customers can select a variety of methods to meet their infrastructure installation, strengthening and rehabilitation needs, as well as their coating and cathodic protection needs, including a number of methods that we do not offer.

In our Energy and Mining segment, Corrpro operates in the highly-competitive field of cathodic protection for corrosion control. While this market is highly competitive, because there are relatively few barriers to entry, Corrpro is the recognized market leader in North America in this field. Competitors include a limited number of large firms, which provide services nationally, and in some instances, globally, although more prevalent are a number of small- and medium-sized firms with a more limited

14



portfolio of products and services, which are only provided on a regional or local level. Corrpro’s competitive advantage is its broad depth of high-quality cathodic protection offerings, including its cost effective engineering, pipeline integrity construction and coating services, which are provided to customers worldwide. With our 2011 acquisition of Hockway and the creation of our new joint ventures, WCU and Corrpower, we are expanding our position as a leader in cathodic protection.
The process of utilizing HDPE liners is one of the more prevalent methods to protect pipelines servicing the energy and mining industries. United Pipeline Systems is recognized worldwide as a leader in the HDPE market, having provided HDPE solutions on six continents. And, because of barriers to entry, due to necessary technological capabilities, United Pipeline Systems tends to only compete with a small number of specialty firms globally, nationally and regionally. Through our focused efforts on expanding our services worldwide, United Pipeline Systems enjoys significant name recognition and substantial market share in this industry in the key energy and mining regions of the world. We expect our recent joint ventures, UPS-Aptec Limited and WCU, to further strengthen our position as a worldwide leader in the HDPE market.
Brinderson operates in a fragmented and intensely competitive field of plant engineering, maintenance and construction services in the downstream petroleum refining industry, as well as performing work in the industrial and natural gas, gas processing and compression, and upstream petroleum markets. Brinderson competes with local, regional, national and international contractors and service providers. Competitors vary with the markets that are served with few competitors competing in all of the geographic markets we serve or in all of the services we provide. Contracts are generally awarded based on safety performance, reputation for quality, price, schedule, and client satisfaction.
The FBE process is one of the standard methods for pipe coating. Bayou has a strong presence in the North American FBE coating market. Because the pipe coating industry is very capital intensive, Bayou usually competes with a small number of global and national companies. However, Bayou also competes on a project-specific basis with small firms on local or regional jobs. These regional firms are often steel mills that have coatings plants onsite to provide for their internal coatings needs, but these firms will outsource their coatings services if projects are within their geographic reach. Competition from these regional firms on more than a project basis is unlikely as these firms tend to be restricted geographically due to their shipping limitations. CRTS has strong presence in the field of FBE coating and is an industry leader in inner diameter (ID) robotic coatings while our wholly-owned subsidiary, Commercial Coatings Services International, LLC (“CCSI”), is a leader in outer diameter (OD) coatings. Because of these specialized fields, CRTS and CCSI usually compete with a small number of specialty providers.

The process of utilizing HDPE liners is one of the more prevalent methods to protect pipelines servicing the energy and mining industries. UPS is a leader in the HDPE market. Because of relatively high barriers to entry, due to necessary technological capabilities, UPS tends to compete with a small number of specialty firms globally, nationally and regionally.  We expect that our recent joint ventures, UPS-Aptec Limited and WCU, will provide greater worldwide opportunities for us in the HDPE market.

The cathodic protection industry is highly competitive as there are relatively few barriers to entry. Corrpro competes with a limited number of large firms globally and nationally, a number of medium-sized firms regionally and numerous small firms regionally and locally. We believe that our recent acquisition of Hockway and our new joint venture, WCU, will provide greater product and services offerings worldwide in the cathodic protection market.

In the trenchless sewer rehabilitation market, the CIPP process is the preferred method and we are a leader in this field, but this is a highly competitive market both in the United States and abroad. Relativelymethod. Because relatively few significant barriers to entry exist in the markets in which we operate and, as a result,this market, any organization that haswith adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise may become a competitor. As such, there are numerous companies with which we compete. Worldwide, we compete with numerous smaller firms on local or regional levels and with several larger firms on the global and national levels.
Despite the number of competitors, Insituform, as the worldwide pioneer of this technology, has maintained its role as a global market leader, both in the United States and abroad.
In water rehabilitation, dig and replace is still the preferred method for the majority of customers, although there is growing acceptance for various trenchless alternatives.customers. Currently, CIPP is utilized in less than five percent of water pipeline rehabilitation jobs in the United States. Because this is a much more specialized field, with more barriers to entry, including strict government mandates, we compete primarily with a handful of global and national specialty contractors.

In our Commercial and Structural segment, the FRP process competes against traditional methods of structural retrofitting, but is gaining rapid acceptance in the construction and retrofitting industry. Fibrwrap Construction has been performing successful installations of FRP systems for 2324 years. With its proprietary technologies relating to both products and application, Fyfe Co. is a leader in the FRP market and Fibrwrap Construction is one of the most experienced installers of the FRP system and has ana well established reputation. GivenIn this field, there are significant barriers to entry, including testing requirements, experience, intellectual property and certifications. Fyfe has teamed with a number of universities around the world to conduct extensive product testing. In addition, Fyfe has dedicated significant resources to obtaining technical market acceptance of its proprietary products. As a result, Fyfe has received a number of certifications, including NSF certification for its Tyfo® Fibrwrap® system, International Code Council - Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) PMG-1040 product certification and 2006 IBC compliance for its Tyfo® pipe system for pipe strengthening and an ICC-ES Evaluation Report (ESR-2103), indicating compliance with ICC-AC125 guidelines for FRP strengthening. Because of the significant barriers to entry, Fyfe Co. and Fibrwrap Construction tend to compete with a small number of companies on a regional or national level, that oftenmost of which do not provide the full spectrum of services provided by Fyfe Co. and Fibrwrap Construction.

There can be no assurance as to the success of our processes in competition with these companies and alternative technologies for pipe installation and rehabilitation, coating, cathodic protection and infrastructure installation, strengthening and rehabilitation.

Seasonality

Our operations can be affected by seasonal variations and our results tend to be stronger in the second and third quarters of each year due to milder weather. We are more likely to be impacted by weather extremes, such as excessive rain, hurricanes or

15



monsoons, snow and ice or frigid temperatures, which may cause temporary, short-term anomalies in our operational performance in certain localized geographic regions. However, these impacts usually have not been material to our operations as a whole. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this report for further discussion.
13

Employees

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had approximately 3,0005,400 employees. Certain of our subsidiaries and divisions are parties to collective bargaining agreements covering an aggregate of approximately 2001,000 employees. We generally consider our relations with our employees and unions to be good.

Insurance and Bonding

We are required to carry insurance and provide bonding in connection with certain projects and, accordingly, maintain comprehensive insurance policies, including workers’ compensation, general and automobile liability and property coverage. We believe that we presently maintain adequate insurance coverage for all operations. We have also arranged bonding capacity for bid, performance and payment bonds. Typically, the cost of a performance bond is less than 1% of the contract value. We are required to indemnify the surety companies against losses from third-party claims of customers and subcontractors. The indemnification obligations are collateralized by unperfected liens on our assets and the assets of those subsidiaries that are parties to the applicable indemnification agreement.

Government Regulation

We are required to comply with all applicable United States federal, state and local, and all applicable foreign statutes, regulations and ordinances. In addition, our installation and other operations have to comply with various relevant occupational safety and health regulations, transportation regulations, code specifications, permit requirements and bonding and insurance requirements, as well as with fire regulations relating to the storage, handling and transporting of flammable materials. Our manufacturing and coatings facilities, as well as our installation and other operations, are subject to federal and state environmental protection regulations, none of which presently have any material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position in connection with our present business. However, although our installation and other operations have established monitoring programs and safety procedures, further restrictions could be imposed on the manner in which installation and other activities are conducted, on equipment used in installation and other activities, on volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutant emissions from our paintings and coatings processes and on the use of solvents or the thermosetting resins used in the Insituform® CIPP process.

The use of both thermoplastics and thermosetting resin materials in contact with drinking water is strictly regulated in most countries. In the United States, a consortium led by NSF International, under arrangements with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), establishes minimum requirements for the control of potential human health effects from substances added indirectly to water via contact with treatment, storage, transmission and distribution system components, by defining the maximum permissible concentration of materials that may be leached from such components into drinking water, and methods for testing them. Our lining and coating products for drinking water use are NSF/ANSI Standard 61 compliant, including Fyfe’s entire Tyfo® Fibrwrap® system and Insituform’s full range of water pipe lining products. In April 1997, the Insituform PPLaddition, United Pipeline Systems’ HDPE TiteLiner® liner was system is certified by NSFto NSF/ANSI Standard 61. Corrpro’s corrosion control products are NSF/ANSI 61 classified for use in drinking water systems followed in April 1999 by NSF certification of the Insituform RPP linerand its cathodic protection solutions for such use. In 2009, we launched our InsituMain® systemwater storage tanks and in that same year, we received certification approval to NSF/ANSIwater treatment units are compliant with AWWA Standard 61 for use in drinking water applications. Our drinking water lining products also are NSF certified.D104 and NACE recommended practices. NSF assumes no liability for use of any products, and NSF’s arrangements with the EPA do not constitute the EPA’s endorsement of NSF, NSF’s policies or its standards. Dedicated equipment is needed in connection with use of these products in drinking water applications.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the following risks and other information contained or incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K when evaluating our business and financial condition and an investment in our common stock. Should any of the following risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, such developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our businesses face significant competition in the industries in which they operate.
Our businessMany of our products and services face direct competition from companies offering similar products or services. Competition places downward pressure on our contract prices and profit margins. Intense competition is dependentexpected to continue in these markets. However, we believe our diversification strategy of entering and expanding our offerings in high return markets and our focus on obtaining work through a competitive bidding process.

improved efficiencies is the key to maintaining our market share and growth rates in these markets. If we are unable to realize our objectives, we could lose market share to our competitors and experience an overall reduction in our profits.
In our energy and mining operations, we compete primarily with a small number of global and national companies in the pipe coating industry, with specialty firms in the pipeline protection industry, andwith a limited number of large firms globally and a large number of smaller firms regionally in the cathodic protection industry.industry and with a limited number of regional and national companies

in the oil and gas engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance and turnaround industries. In addition, customers can select a variety of methods to meet their pipe installation, rehabilitation, coating and cathodic protection needs, including a number of methods that we do not offer.

However, because of the breadth of high quality products and services we offer, we maintain a significant market presence and enjoy brand-name recognition worldwide in each of these fields.
In the sewerwater and wastewater rehabilitation markets, we face competition from companies providing similar products and services as well as companies providing other methods of rehabilitation that we do not offer, including traditional dig-and-replace, which is still the preferred method in the water rehabilitation markets,market. In the trenchless wastewater rehabilitation market, CIPP is the preferred method. In the trenchless wastewater market, few significant barriers to entry exist and, as a result, any organization that has the financial resources and access to technical expertise and bonding may become a competitor. In these markets,Although we compete with many smaller firms on a local or regional level, and with several larger firms on the global and national levels.

In general, the energy and mining and sewer and water rehabilitations markets in whichlevels, we operate are highly competitive. Most of our products and services face direct competition from companies offering similar or essentially equivalent products or services. Competition places downward pressure on our contract prices and profit margins. Intense competition is expected to continue in these markets, and we face challenges in our abilityhave been able to maintain strong growth rates. Ifour presence as the global leader in this field. In water rehabilitation, there are more significant barriers to entry, since it is strictly regulated. In this market, we are unable to meet these competitive challenges, we could lose market share to our competitors and experience an overall reduction in our profits.

compete with a smaller number of specialty contractors around the world.
In our Commercial and Structural segment, the FRP process competes against traditional methods of structural retrofitting, but is gaining rapid acceptance in the construction and retrofitting industry. Fibrwrap has been performing successful installations of FRP systems for 2324 years. In the FRP field, together Fyfe and Fibrwrap are one of the only companies offering manufacturing, engineering and technical expertise, as well extensive installation experience. Given there are significant barriers to entry, including testing requirements, experience, intellectual property and certifications, in manufacturing we only compete with a handful of FRP suppliers and in installation, we compete with a minimal number of FRP installers. If any of our competitors were to become fully-integrated like us or if new entrants in the market were to develop strong installation and manufacturing expertise this could adversely impact our ability to grow revenues in this market.
Our success and growth strategy depend on our senior management and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
We depend on our senior management for the success and future growth of the operations and revenues of our company, and the loss of any member of our senior management could have an adverse impact on our operations. Such a loss may be a distraction to senior management as we search for a qualified replacement, could result in significant recruiting, relocation, training and other costs and could cause operational inefficiencies as a replacement becomes familiar with our business and operations.
In addition, we use a multi-level sales force structured around target markets and key accounts, focusing on marketing our products and services to engineers, consultants, administrators, technical staff and elected officials. We are dependent on our personnel to continue to develop improvements to our proprietary processes, including materials used and the methods of manufacturing, installing, strengthening, coating and cathodic protection and we require quality field personnel to effectively and profitably perform our work. Our success in attracting and retaining qualified personnel is dependent on the resources available in individual geographic areas and the impact on the labor supply of general economic conditions, as well as our ability to provide a competitive compensation package and work environment. Our failure to attract, train, integrate, engage and retain qualified personnel could have a significant effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our business depends upon the maintenance of our proprietary technologies and information.
We depend upon our proprietary technologies and information, many of which are no longer subject to patent protection. We rely principally upon trade secret and copyright laws to protect our proprietary technologies. We regularly enter into confidentiality agreements with our key employees, customers and potential customers and limit access to and distribution of our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These measures may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technologies or to assure that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. In addition, the laws of other countries in which we operate may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We are also subject to the risk of adverse claims and litigation alleging infringement of intellectual property rights.
Our efforts to develop new products and services or enhance existing products and services involve substantial research, development and marketing expenses, and the resulting new or enhanced products or services may not generate sufficient revenues to justify such expenses.
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to changing technologies and customer requirements by enhancing our existing products and services. We will need to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products, features and services that address the needs of our customer base. As a result of these efforts, we may be required to expend substantial research, development and marketing resources, and the time and expense required to develop a new product or service or enhance an existing product or service are difficult to predict. We cannot assure that we will succeed in developing, introducing and marketing new products or services or product or service enhancements. In addition, we cannot be certain that any new or enhanced product or service will generate sufficient revenues to justify the expenses and resources devoted to this product diversification effort.

Acquisitions and investments could result in operating difficulties, dilution and other harmful consequences that may adversely impact our business and results of operations.
Acquisitions are an important element of our overall corporate strategy and use of capital, and these transactions could be material to our financial condition and results of operations. We expect to continue to evaluate and enter into discussions regarding a wide array of potential strategic transactions. The process of integrating an acquired company, business or technology has created, and will continue to create, unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The areas where we face risks include:
Diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to acquisition integration challenges.
Failure to successfully further develop the acquired business or technology.
Implementation or remediation of controls, procedures and policies at the acquired company.
Integration of the acquired company’s accounting, human resource and other administrative systems, and coordination of product, engineering and sales and marketing functions.
Transition of operations, users and customers onto our existing platforms.
Failure to obtain required approvals on a timely basis, if at all, from governmental authorities, or conditions placed upon approval, under competition and antitrust laws which could, among other things, delay or prevent us from completing a transaction, or otherwise restrict our ability to realize the expected financial or strategic goals of an acquisition.
In the case of foreign acquisitions, the need to integrate operations across different cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries.
Cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into our organization, and retention of employees from the businesses we acquire.
Liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including patent and trademark infringement claims, violations of laws, commercial disputes, tax liabilities, and other known and unknown liabilities.
Litigation or other claims in connection with the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, customers, former stockholders or other third parties.
Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with our past or future acquisitions and investments could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or investments, incur unanticipated liabilities, and harm our business generally.
Our acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the assumption of contingent liabilities, amortization expenses, impairment of goodwill and purchased long-lived assets, and restructuring charges, any of which could harm our financial condition or results of operations. Also, the anticipated benefit of many of our acquisitions may not materialize.
Our backlog is an uncertain indicator of our future earnings.
Our backlog, which at December 31, 2013 was approximately $759.0 million, inclusive of Brinderson, is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellation. The revenues projected in this backlog may not be realized or, if realized, may not result in profits. We may be unable to complete some projects included in our backlog in the estimated time and, as a result, such projects could remain in backlog for extended periods of time. To the extent that we experience project cancellation or scope adjustments, we could face a reduction in the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenues that we actually receive from such backlog. In addition, one or more of our multi-year contracts have in the past and may in the future contribute a material portion of our backlog in any one year. The loss of business from any one of these significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments, which are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and which may differ from actual results.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Some accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in subsequent periods.

18



Our use of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting could result in a reduction or reversal of previously recorded results.
We employ the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for our construction projects. This methodology recognizes revenues and profits over the life of a project based on costs incurred to date compared to total estimated project costs. Revisions to revenues and profits are made once amounts are known and can be reasonably estimated. Given the uncertainties associated with some of our contracts, it is possible for actual costs to vary from estimates previously made. Revisions to estimates could result in the reversal of revenues and gross profit previously recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 75% of our revenues were derived from percentage-of-completion accounting.
We may experience cost overruns on our projects.

We typically conduct our business under guaranteed maximum price or fixed price contracts, where we bear a significant portion of the risk for cost overruns. Under such contracts, prices are established in part on cost and scheduling estimates, which are based on a number of assumptions, including assumptions about future economic conditions, prices and availability of materials and other exigencies. Our profitability depends heavily on our ability to make accurate estimates. Inaccurate estimates, or changes in other circumstances, such as unanticipated technical problems, difficulties obtaining permits or approvals, changes in local laws or labor conditions, weather delays, cost of raw materials or our suppliers’ or subcontractors’ inability to perform could result in substantial losses, as such changes adversely affect the revenue and gross profit recognized on each project.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments, which are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and which may differ from actual results.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Some accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in subsequent periods.

Revisions to revenues and profits are made once amounts are known and can be reasonably estimated. Given the uncertainties associated with some of our contracts, it is possible for actual costs to vary from estimates previously made. Revisions to estimates could result in the reversal of revenues and gross profit previously recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 73.4% of our revenues were derived from percentage-of-completion accounting.
Our recognition of revenues from change orders, extra work or variations in the scope of work could be subject to reversal in future periods.
We recognize revenues from change orders, extra work or variations in the scope of work as set forth in our written contracts with our clients when management believes that realization of these revenues is probable and the recoverable amounts can be reasonably estimated. We also factor in all other information that we possess with respect to the change order to determine whether the change order should be recognized at all and, if recognition is appropriate, what dollar amount of the change order should be recognized. Due to factors that we may not anticipate at the time of recognition, however, revenues ultimately received on these change orders could be less than revenues that we recognized in a prior reporting period or periods, which could require us in subsequent reporting periods to reduce or reverse revenues and gross profit previously recognized.
We may be liable to complete the work of our joint venture partners under our joint venture arrangements.
We enter into contractual joint ventures in order to develop joint bids on certain contracts. The success of these joint ventures depends largely on the satisfactory performance by our joint venture partners of their obligations under the joint venture. Under these joint venture arrangements, we may be required to complete our joint venture partner’s portion of the contract if the partner is unable to complete its portion and a bond is not available. In such case, the additional obligations could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses for us with respect to the joint venture.
International trade tariffs and restrictions in the steel market may adversely affect our Bayou business.
The business of our subsidiary, Bayou, is heavily dependent on providing products and services to customers that import steel pipe into the United States from the international markets. To the extent that trade tariffs and other restrictions imposed by the United States increase the price of, or limit the amount of, steel pipe imported into the United States, the demand from Bayou’s customers for Bayou’s products and services will be diminished, which will adversely affect Bayou’s revenues and profitability.
Federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives as well as governmental reviews relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays that could adversely affect our Energy and Mining customers.
Federal, state and local legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays in the production of oil and natural gas, including from the developing shale plays. Our Energy and Mining segment services oil and gas companies in the shale plays and we foresee strong market opportunities here. A decline in drilling of new wells and related servicing activities caused by these initiatives could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Cyclical downturns in the mining, oil and natural gas industries, or in the oil field, refinery and mining services businesses, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
The mining, oil and natural gas industries are highly cyclical. Demand for the majority of our oil field, refinery and mining products and services is substantially dependent on the level of expenditures by the mining, oil and natural gas industries for the exploration, development and production of mined minerals, crude oil and natural gas reserves, which are sensitive to the prices of these commodities and generally dependent on the industry’s view of future mined mineral, oil and natural gas prices. There are numerous factors affecting the supply of and demand for our products and services, which include, but are not limited to:
market prices of mined minerals, oil and natural gas and expectations about future prices;

19

15

cost of producing mined minerals, oil and natural gas;

the level of mining, drilling and production activity;
the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves;
mergers, consolidations and downsizing among our clients;
coordination by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC);
the impact of commodity prices on the expenditure levels of our clients;
financial condition of our client base and their ability to fund capital and maintenance expenditures;
adverse weather conditions;
civil unrest in oil-producing countries;
level of consumption of minerals, oil, natural gas and petrochemicals by consumers; and
availability of services and materials for our clients to grow their capital expenditures.
The mining, oil and natural gas industries have historically experienced periodic downturns, which have been characterized by diminished demand for our oil field, refinery and mining pipeline protection products and services and downward pressure on the prices we charge. A significant downturn in the mining, oil and/or natural gas industries could result in a reduction in demand for oil field and refinery services and could adversely affect our operating results.
Our successoperations could be adversely impacted by the continuing effects from the U.S. government regulations on offshore drilling projects.
In response to the Deepwater Horizon incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in April 2010, the U.S. government implemented various new regulations intended to improve offshore drilling safety and environmental protection and increase liability for oil spills in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf. These new regulations increased the complexity of the drilling permit process and have delayed the receipt of drilling permits in both deepwater and shallow-water areas since the incident.
While there has been an increase in the number of drilling permits issued, and drilling activity is recovering, we cannot predict what the continuing effects from the U.S. government regulations on offshore deepwater drilling projects may have on offshore oil and gas exploration and development activity, or what actions may be taken by our customers in our Energy and Mining segment or other industry participants in response to these regulations. This could reduce demand for our services, which could have an adverse impact on certain aspects of our business.
Our operations could be adversely impacted by new California legislation related to downstream work performed in California refineries.
In our energy and mining operations, our Brinderson operation may face challenges with the addition of section 25536.7 to the California Health and Safety Code on January 1, 2014. The law introduces new requirements for refineries and outside contractors at covered facilities when construction, alteration, demolition, installation, repair or maintenance work is performed at the covered facility. The law imposes the following new requirements:
all subject workers must be paid the applicable prevailing wage rate;
all subject workers must be either “skilled journeymen” or “registered apprentices”; and
commencing January 1, 2014, at least 30% of skilled journeypersons on the project must be graduates of certified apprenticeship programs, which percentage increases to 45% on January 1, 2015 and 60% on January 1, 2016.
The new requirements only pertain to contracts entered into, extended or renewed after January 1, 2014. Brinderson currently has long term contracts in place with its major downstream clients, but its operations may be adversely impacted to become fully compliant with Section 25536.7 of the California Health and Safety Code when the contracts expire.
Operational disruptions caused by political instability and conflict in the Middle East could adversely impact our current operations and plans of expansion in the Middle East.
Our Energy and Mining segment currently operates in the Middle East and continues to focus efforts on accelerating expansion into the Middle East. Political and social unrest in the Middle East, as well as the potential for catastrophic events such as abrupt political change, terrorist acts and conflicts or wars may cause damage or disruption to the economy, financial markets and our current and prospective customers in the Middle East.

The general downturn in U.S. and global economic conditions, and specifically a downturn in the municipal bond market, may reduce our business prospects and decrease our revenues and cash flows.
Our business is affected by general economic conditions. Any extended weakness in the U.S. and global economies could reduce our business prospects and could cause decreases in our revenues and operating cash flows. Specifically, a downturn in the municipal bond market caused by an actual downgrade of monoline insurers could result in our municipal customers being required to spend municipal funds previously allocated to projects that would benefit our business to pay off outstanding bonds.
We conduct manufacturing, sales and distribution operations on a worldwide basis and are subject to a variety of risks associated with doing business outside the United States.
We maintain significant international operations, including operations in Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Australia, the Middle East, South America and Latin America. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, approximately 38.4%, 42.1% and 41.7%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from international operations. We expect a significant portion of our revenues and profits to come from international operations and joint ventures for the foreseeable future and to continue to grow over time.
As a result, we are subject to a number of risks and complications associated with international manufacturing, sales, services and other operations. These include:
difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems;
foreign customers with longer payment cycles than customers in the United States;
tax rates in certain foreign countries that exceed those in the United States and foreign earnings subject to withholding requirements;
tax laws that restrict our ability to use tax credits, offset gains or repatriate funds;
tariffs, exchange controls or other trade restrictions including transfer pricing restrictions when products produced in one country are sold to an affiliated entity in another country;
abrupt changes in foreign government policies and regulations;
unsettled political conditions;
difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights or weaker intellectual property right protections in some countries;
hostility from local populations, particularly in the Middle East; and
difficulties associated with compliance with a variety of laws and regulations governing international trade, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
To the extent that our international operations are affected by these unexpected and adverse foreign economic and political conditions, we may experience project disruptions and losses that could significantly reduce our revenues and profits.
Implementation and achievement of international growth strategy dependsobjectives also may be impeded by political, social and economic uncertainties or unrest in countries in which we conduct operations or market or distribute our products. In addition, compliance with multiple, and potentially conflicting, international laws and regulations, import and export limitations, anti-corruption laws and exchange controls may be difficult, burdensome or expensive.
For example, we are subject to compliance with various laws and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While our employees and agents are required to comply with these laws, we cannot assure you that our internal policies and procedures will always protect us from violations of these laws, despite our commitment to legal compliance and corporate ethics. The occurrence or allegation of these types of risks may adversely affect our business, performance, prospects, value, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages, staffing shortages and other labor matters.
Our Brinderson business has approximately 2,400 employees, approximately 2,300 of whom are located in California, where employees predominantly are represented by unions. Although we believe that our relations with our employees are good and we have had no strikes or work stoppages, no assurances can be made that we will not experience these and other types of conflicts with labor unions, works councils, other groups representing employees, or our employees in general, or that any future negotiations with our labor unions will not result in significant increases in the cost of labor. None of our Brinderson employees participate in multi-employer benefit plans.

21



The loss of one or more of our significant customers could adversely affect us.
One or more customers have in the past and may in the future contribute a material portion of our revenues in any one year. Because these significant customers generally contract with us for specific projects or for specific periods of time, we may lose these customers from year to year as the projects or maintenance contracts are completed. The loss of business from any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our senior managementbusiness or results of operations.
We may incur significant costs in providing services in excess of original project scope without having an approved change order.
After commencement of a contract, we may perform, without the benefit of an approved change order from the customer, additional services requested by the customer that were not contemplated in our contract price for various reasons, including customer changes or incomplete or inaccurate engineering, changes in project specifications and other similar information provided to us by the customer. Our construction contracts generally require the customer to compensate us for additional work or expenses incurred under these circumstances.
A failure to obtain adequate compensation for these matters could require us to record in the current period an adjustment to revenue and profit recognized in prior periods under the percentage-of-completion accounting method. Any such adjustments, if substantial, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, particularly for the period in which such adjustments are made. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining, through negotiation, arbitration, litigation or otherwise, approved change orders in an amount adequate to compensate us for our additional work or expenses.
Our profitability could be negatively impacted if we are not able to maintain appropriate utilization of our workforce.
The extent to which we utilize our workforce affects our profitability. If we under utilize our workforce, our project gross margins and overall profitability suffer in the short-term. If we over utilize our workforce, we may negatively impact safety, employee satisfaction and project execution, which could result in a decline of future project awards. The utilization of our workforce is impacted by numerous factors including:
our estimate of the headcount requirements for various units based upon our forecast of the demand for our products and services;
our ability to maintain our talent base and manage attrition;
our ability to schedule our portfolio of projects to efficiently utilize our employees and minimize downtown between project assignments; and
our need to invest time and resources into functions such as training, business development, employee recruiting, and sales that are not chargeable to customer projects.
An inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and in particular, engineers, project managers, linemen and skilled craft workers, could impact our ability to perform on our contracts, which could harm our business and impair our future revenues and profitability.
Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.engineers, project managers, linemen, skilled craftsmen and other experienced professionals in accordance with our needs is an important factor in our ability to maintain profitability and grow our business. The market for these professionals is competitive, particularly during periods of economic growth when the supply is limited. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to retain or attract qualified personnel when needed. Therefore, when we anticipate or experience growing demand for our services, we may incur additional cost to maintain a professional staff in excess of our current contract needs in an effort to have sufficient qualified personnel available to address this anticipated demand. If we do incur additional compensation and benefit costs, our customer contracts may not allow us to pass through these costs.
Competent and experienced engineers, project managers, and craft workers are especially critical to the profitable performance of our contracts, particularly on our fixed-price contracts where superior design and execution of the project can result in profits greater than originally estimated or where inferior design and project execution can reduce or eliminate estimated profits or even result in a loss. Our project managers are involved in most aspects of contracting and contract execution including:
supervising the bidding process, including providing estimates of significant cost components, such as material and equipment needs, and the size, productivity and composition of the workforce;
negotiating contracts;
supervising project performance, including performance by our employees, subcontractors and other third-party suppliers and vendors

22



estimating costs for completion of contracts that is used to estimate amounts that can be reported as revenues and earnings on the contract under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting;
negotiating requests for change orders and the final terms of approved change orders; and
determining and documenting claims by us for increased costs incurred due to the failure of customers, subcontractors and other third- party suppliers of equipment and materials to perform on a timely basis and in accordance with contract terms.
We depend on our senior management forhave international operations that are subject to foreign economic and political uncertainties and foreign currency fluctuation.
Global financial and credit markets have been, and continue to be, unstable and unpredictable. Worldwide economic conditions have been weak and may deteriorate further. For example, the success and future growthcredit issues in the European Union as a result of the sovereign debt crisis and other factors have affected economies worldwide. The instability of the markets and weakness of the economy could continue to affect the demand for our services, the financial strength of our customers and suppliers, their ability or willingness to do business with us, our willingness to do business with them, and/or our suppliers’ and customers’ ability to fulfill their obligations to us and/or the ability of us, our customers or our suppliers to obtain credit. These factors could adversely affect our operations, earnings and financial condition.
A significant portion of our contracts and revenues are denominated in foreign currencies, which may result in additional risk of fluctuating currency values and exchange rates, hard currency shortages and controls on currency exchange. Changes in the value of foreign currencies could increase our U.S. dollar costs for, or reduce our U.S. dollar revenues from, our foreign operations. Any increased costs or reduced revenues as a result of foreign currency fluctuations could affect our profits.
Our Water and Wastewater Rehabilitation revenues are substantially dependent on municipal government spending.
Many of our company,customers are municipal governmental agencies and, the loss of any member of our senior management could have an adverse impact on our operations. Such a loss may be a distraction to senior management as such, we search for a qualified replacement, could result in significant recruiting, relocation, training and other costs and could cause operational inefficiencies as a replacement becomes familiar with our business and operations.
 In addition, we use a multi-level sales force structured around target markets and key accounts, focusing on marketing our products and services to engineers, consultants, administrators, technical staff and elected officials. We are dependent on municipal spending. Spending by our personnelmunicipal customers can be affected by local political circumstances, budgetary constraints and other factors. Consequently, future municipal spending may not be allocated to projects that would benefit our business or may not be allocated in the amounts or for the size of the projects that we anticipated. A decrease in municipal spending on such projects would adversely impact our revenues, results of operations and cash flows.
The execution of our growth strategy is dependent upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for our customers.
The economic climate has resulted in tighter credit markets, which has adversely affected our customers’ ability to secure the financing necessary to proceed or continue to develop improvements to our proprietary processes, including materials used and the methods of manufacturing,with pipe or other infrastructure installation, rehabilitation, strengthening, coating and cathodic protection projects. Our customers’ or potential customers’ inability to secure financing for projects could result in the delay, cancellation or downsizing of new projects or the suspension of projects already under contract, which could cause a decline in the demand for our services and negatively impact our revenues and earnings.
A substantial portion of our raw materials is from a limited number of vendors, and we require quality field personnelare subject to effectivelymarket fluctuations in the prices of certain commodities.
The primary products and profitably performraw materials used by our work. Our success in attractingCorrpro operations include zinc, aluminum, magnesium and retaining qualified personnel is dependent on the resources available in individual geographic areas and the impact on the labor supply of general economic conditions,other metallic anodes, as well as wire and cable. We believe that Corrpro has multiple sources available for these raw materials and is not dependent on any single vendor to meet its supply needs. The prices of these raw materials have historically been affected by the prices of energy, petroleum, steel and other commodities, tariffs and duties on imported materials and foreign currency and exchange rates. A significant increase in the prices of these raw materials could adversely affect our abilityresults of operations.
We purchase the majority of our fiber requirements for tube manufacturing from two sources. We believe, however, that alternate sources are readily available, and we continue to providenegotiate with other supply sources. The manufacture of the tubes used in our rehabilitation business is dependent upon the availability of resin, a competitive compensation packagepetroleum-based product. We currently have qualified four resin suppliers from which we intend to purchase the majority of our resin requirements for our North American operations. For our European operations, we currently have qualified six resin suppliers and work environment. Our failurefor our Asia-Pacific operations, we currently have qualified six resin suppliers.We believe that these and other sources of resin supply are readily available. Historically, resin prices have fluctuated on the basis of the prevailing prices of oil, and we anticipate that prices will continue to attract, train, integrate, engagebe heavily influenced by the events affecting the oil market.
The primary products and retain qualified personnel could haveraw materials used by our Commercial and Structural segment in the manufacture of FRP composite systems are carbon, glass, resins, fabric, and epoxy raw materials. Carbon and epoxies are the largest materials purchased, which are currently purchased through a select group of suppliers, although we believe these and the other materials are available from a number of vendors. The price of epoxy historically is affected by the price of oil. In addition, a number of factors such as

23



worldwide demand, labor costs, energy costs, import duties and other trade restrictions may influence the price of these raw materials.
We also purchase a significant volume of fuel to operate our trucks and equipment. At present, we do not engage in any type of hedging activities to mitigate the risks of fluctuating market prices for oil or fuel. A significant increase in the price of oil could cause an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
cost structure that we may not be able to recover from our customers.
Extreme weather conditions may adversely affect our operations.
We are likely to be impacted by weather extremes, such as excessive rain or hurricanes, typhoons, snow and ice or frigid temperatures, which may cause temporary, short-term anomalies in our operational performance in certain localized geographic regions. Our SewerWater and WaterWastewater Rehabilitation segments are particularly sensitive to weather extremes. Delays and other weather impacts could adversely affect our ability to meet project deadlines and may increase a project’s cost and decrease its profitability.

Certain of our Bayou facilities are located in a regionregions that may be affected by natural disasters.

Certain of our Bayou facilities are located on the Gulf Coast in Louisiana. This region is subject to increased hurricane activity that can result in substantial flooding. Our Bayou facilities have in the past experienced damage due to winds and floods. Although we maintain flood loss insurance where necessary, a hurricane, flood or other natural disaster could result in significant damage to our facilities, recovery costs and interruption to certain of our operations.
Our Brinderson business serves large oil and gas customers in California and is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California with operations throughout California, near major earthquake faults. Furthermore, our Fyfe/Fibrwrap business has substantial operations in California near major earthquake faults. While we carry earthquake insurance, a catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems or our clients’ facilities could harm our ability to conduct normal business operations and our operating results.
Business operations could be adversely affected by terrorism.
The threat of, or actual acts of, terrorism may affect our operations around the world in unpredictable ways and may force an increase in security measures and cause disruptions in supplies and markets. If any of our facilities, including our manufacturing facilities, or if any of the projects we are working on, particularly in the energy and mining sector, were to be a direct target, or an indirect casualty, of an act of terrorism, our operations could be adversely affected. Corresponding instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism also could adversely affect our ability to raise capital.
We may be liablesubject to complete the work ofinformation technology system failures, network disruptions, cybersecurity attacks and breaches in data security, which could disrupt our joint venture partners under our joint venture arrangements.
We enter into contractual joint ventures in order to develop joint bids on certain contracts. The success of these joint ventures depends largely on the satisfactory performance by our joint venture partners of their obligations under the joint venture. Under these joint venture arrangements, we may be required to complete our joint venture partner’s portion of the contract if the partner is unable to complete its portionoperations and a bond is not available. In such case, the additional obligations could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses for us with respecta loss of assets.
We depend on information technology as an enabler to improve the joint venture.
A substantial portioneffectiveness of our raw materials is from a limited number of vendors,operations and we are subject to market fluctuations in the prices of certain commodities.
The primary products and raw materials used byinterface with our Corrpro operations include zinc, aluminum, magnesium and other metallic anodes,customers, as well as wireto maintain financial accuracy and cable. We believe that Corrpro has multiple sources available for these raw materialsefficiency. Information technology system failures, including suppliers’ or vendors’ system failures, could disrupt our operations by causing transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, delays or cancellation of customer orders, the loss of customers, impediments to the manufacture or shipment of products, other business disruptions, the loss of or damage to intellectual property through security breach or the loss of employee personal information. These events could impact our customers, employees and is not dependent on any single vendorreputation and lead to meet its supply needs. The pricesfinancial losses from remediation actions, loss of these raw materials have historically been affected by the prices of energy, petroleum, steel and other commodities, tariffs and duties on imported materials and foreign currency and exchange rates. A significantbusiness or potential liability or an increase in the prices of these raw materials could adversely affect our results of operations.

The business of our subsidiary, Bayou, is heavily dependent on providing products and services to customers that import steel pipe into the United States from the international markets. To the extent that trade tariffs and other restrictions imposed by the United States increase the price of, or limit the amount of, steel pipe imported into the United States, the demand from Bayou’s customers for Bayou’s products and services will be diminished, which will adversely affect Bayou’s revenues and profitability.
Our business depends upon the maintenance of our proprietary technologies and information.
We depend upon our proprietary technologies and information, many of which are no longer subject to patent protection. We rely principally upon trade secret and copyright laws to protect our proprietary technologies. We regularly enter into confidentiality agreements with our key employees, customers and potential customers and limit access to and distribution of our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These measures may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technologies or to assure that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. In addition, the laws of other countries in which we operate may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We are also subject to the risk of adverse claims and litigation alleging infringement of intellectual property rights.
Our Sewer and Water Rehabilitation revenues are substantially dependent on municipal government spending.
Many of our customers are municipal governmental agencies and, as such, we are dependent on municipal spending. Spending by our municipal customers can be affected by local political circumstances, budgetary constraints and other factors. Consequently, future municipal spending may not be allocated to projects that would benefit our business or may not be allocated in the amounts or for the size of the projects that we anticipated. A decrease in municipal spending on such projects would adversely impact our revenues, results of operations and cash flows.
We are subject to a number of restrictive debt covenants under our line of credit facility.
On August 31, 2011, we entered into a $500.0 million credit facility with a lending syndicate headed by Bank of America, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A., which expires on August 31, 2016. The credit facility consists of a $250.0 million revolving line of credit and a $250.0 million term loan, each with a maturity date of August 31, 2016. At December 31, 2011, $243.8 million of the term loan was outstanding and we had $18.2 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding. Our credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants, which restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur certain liens on our assets or sell assets, make investments and make other restricted payments.  Our credit facility also requires us to maintain specified financial ratios under certain conditions and satisfy financial condition tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests and otherwise comply with our financial covenants may be affected by the factors described in this “Risk Factors” section of this report and other factors outside our control, and we may not be able to continue to meet those ratios, tests and covenants. Our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our debt obligations will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond our control. A breach of any of these covenants, ratios, tests or restrictions, as applicable, or any inability to pay interest on, or principal of, our outstanding debt as it becomes due could result in an event of default. Upon an event of default, if not waived by our lenders, our lenders may declare all amounts outstanding as due and payable.
17

At December 31, 2011, we were in compliance withexpense, all of our debt covenants as required under the facility. If we are unable to comply with the restrictive covenants in the future, we would be required to obtain amendments or waivers from our lenders or secure another source of financing. If our current lenders accelerate the maturity of our indebtedness, we may not have sufficient capital available at that time to pay the amounts due to our lenders on a timely basis. In addition, these restrictive covenants may prevent us from engaging in transactions that benefit us, including responding to changing business and economic conditions and taking advantage of attractive business opportunities.
The general downturn in U.S. and global economic conditions, and specifically a downturn in the municipal bond market, may reduce our business prospects and decrease our revenues and cash flows.
Our business is affected by general economic conditions. Any extended weakness in the U.S. and global economies could reduce our business prospects and could cause decreases in our revenues and operating cash flows. Specifically, a downturn in the municipal bond market caused by an actual downgrade of monoline insurers could result in our municipal customers being required to spend municipal funds previously allocated to projects that would benefit our business to pay off outstanding bonds.
We have international operations that are subject to foreign economic and political uncertainties and foreign currency fluctuation.
Global financial and credit markets have been, and continue to be, unstable and unpredictable. Worldwide economic conditions have been weak and may deteriorate further. For example, substantial credit issues have arisen in the European Union as a result of the sovereign debt crisis and other factors affecting economies worldwide. The instability of the markets and weakness of the economy could continue to affect the demand for our services, the financial strength of our customers and suppliers, their ability or willingness to do business with us, our willingness to do business with them, and/or our suppliers’ and customers’ ability to fulfill their obligations to us and/or the ability of us, our customers or our suppliers to obtain credit. These factors could adversely affect our operations, earnings and financial condition.
A significant portion of our contracts and revenues are denominated in foreign currencies, which may result in additional risk of fluctuating currency values and exchange rates, hard currency shortages and controls on currency exchange. Changes in the value of foreign currencies could increase our U.S. dollar costs for, or reduce our U.S. dollar revenues from, our foreign operations. Any increased costs or reduced revenues as a result of foreign currency fluctuations could affect our profits.
Our backlog is an uncertain indicator of our future earnings.
Our backlog, which at December 31, 2011 was approximately $464.2 million, is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellation. The revenues projected in this backlog may not be realized or, if realized, may not result in profits. We may be unable to complete some projects included in our backlog in the estimated time and, as a result, such projects could remain in backlog for extended periods of time. To the extent that we experience project cancellation or scope adjustments, we could face a reduction in the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenues that we actually receive from such backlog.
Cyclical downturns in the mining, oil and natural gas industries, or in the oil field and mining services businesses, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
The mining, oil and natural gas industries are highly cyclical. Demand for the majority of our oil field and mining products and services is substantially dependent on the level of expenditures by the mining, oil and natural gas industries for the exploration, development and production of mined minerals, crude oil and natural gas reserves, which are sensitive to the prices of these commodities and generally dependent on the industry’s view of future mined mineral, oil and natural gas prices. There are numerous factors affecting the supply of and demand for our products and services, which include, but are not limited to:
Ÿ  market prices of mined minerals, oil and natural gas and expectations about future prices;
Ÿ  cost of producing mined minerals, oil and natural gas;
Ÿ  the level of mining, drilling and production activity;
Ÿ  the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves;
Ÿ  mergers, consolidations and downsizing among our clients;
Ÿ  coordination by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC);
18

Ÿ  the impact of commodity prices on the expenditure levels of our clients;
Ÿ  financial condition of our client base and their ability to fund capital and maintenance expenditures;
Ÿ  adverse weather conditions;
Ÿ  civil unrest in oil-producing countries;
Ÿ  level of consumption of minerals, oil, natural gas and petrochemicals by consumers; and
Ÿ  availability of services and materials for our clients to grow their capital expenditures.
The mining, oil and natural gas industries have historically experienced periodic downturns, which have been characterized by diminished demand for our oil field and mining products and services and downward pressure on the prices we charge. A significant downturn in the mining, oil and/or natural gas industries could result in a reduction in demand for oil field services and could adversely affect our operating results.
Our operations could be adversely impacted by the continuing effects from the U.S. government regulations on offshore drilling projects.
In response to the Deepwater Horizon incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in April 2010, the U.S. government implemented various new regulations intended to improve offshore drilling safety and environmental protection in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. These new regulations increased the complexity of the drilling permit process and have resulted in delays for the receipt of drilling permits in both deepwater and shallow-water areas relative to past experience. In addition, the U.S. government has announced that it intends to require that operators demonstrate their compliance with new regulations before they resume deepwater drilling. While certain new drilling plans and drilling permits were approved during 2011, and drilling activity is beginning to recover, there can be no assurance of whether or when operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico will return to pre-moratorium levels.
Our Energy and Mining segment provides services to the Gulf of Mexico. We cannot predict what the continuing effects from the U.S. government regulations on offshore deepwater drilling projects may have on offshore oil and gas exploration and development activity, or what actions may be taken by our customers or other industry participants in response to these regulations. This could reduce demand for our services, which could have an adverse impact on certain aspects of our business.
The execution of our growth strategy is dependent upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for our customers.
The recent economic climate has resulted in tighter credit markets, which has adversely affected our customers’ ability to secure the financing necessary to proceed or continue with pipe or other infrastructure installation, rehabilitation, strengthening, coating and cathodic protection projects. Our customers’ or potential customers’ inability to secure financing for projects could result in the delay, cancellation or downsizing of new projects or the suspension of projects already under contract, which could cause a decline in the demand for our services and negatively impact our revenues and earnings.
Our efforts to develop new products and services or enhance existing products and services involve substantial research, development and marketing expenses, and the resulting new or enhanced products or services may not generate sufficient revenues to justify such expenses.
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to changing technologies and customer requirements by enhancing our existing products and services. We will need to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products, features and services that address the needs of our customer base. As a result of these efforts, we may be required to expend substantial research, development and marketing resources, and the time and expense required to develop a new product or service or enhance an existing product or service are difficult to predict. We cannot assure that we will succeed in developing, introducing and marketing new products or services or product or service enhancements. In addition, we cannot be certain that any new or enhanced product or service will generate sufficient revenues to justify the expenses and resources devoted to this product diversification effort.
We occasionally access the financial markets to finance a portion of our working capital requirements and support our liquidity needs. Our ability to access these markets may be adversely affected by factors beyond our control and could negatively impact our ability to finance our operations, meet certain obligations or implement our operating strategy.
We occasionally borrow under our existing credit facility to fund operations, including working capital investments. Market disruptions such as those experienced in the United States and abroad have materially impacted liquidity in the credit and debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive and, in certain cases, resulting in the unavailability of certain types of financing. Uncertainty in the financial markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional financing or to refinance our existing credit facility or existing debt arrangements on favorable terms or at all, which could negatively affect our ability to fund current and future expansion as well as future acquisitions and development. These disruptions may include turmoil in the financial services industry, volatility in the markets where our outstanding securities trade and general economic downturns in the areas where we do business. If we are unable to access funds at competitive rates, or if our short-term or long-term borrowing costs increase, our ability to finance our operations, meet our short-term obligations and implement our operating strategy could be adversely affected.
19

We conduct manufacturing, sales and distribution operations on a worldwide basis and are subject to a variety of risks associated with doing business outside the United States.
We maintain significant international operations, including operations in Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Australia, the Middle East, South America and Latin America. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, approximately 41.2%, 33.9% and 33.9%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from international operations. We expect a significant portion of our revenues and profits to come from international operations and joint ventures for the foreseeable future and to continue to grow over time.
As a result, we are subject to a number of risksrestrictive debt covenants under our line of credit facility.
In July 2013, the Company entered into a new $650.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. Bank of America, N.A. served as the administrative agent. Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated,

JPMorgan Securities LLC and complications associatedU.S. Bank National Association acted as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers in the syndication. The Credit Facility consists of a $300.0 millionfive-year revolving line of credit and a $350.0 millionfive-year term loan facility, each with international manufacturing, sales, servicesa maturity date of July 1, 2018. At December 31, 2013, $341.3 million of the term loan and $35.5 million of the line of credit was outstanding. Our Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants, which restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur certain liens on our assets or sell assets, make investments and make other restricted payments. Our Credit Facility also requires us to maintain specified financial ratios under certain conditions and satisfy financial condition tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests and otherwise comply with our financial covenants may be affected by the factors described in this “Risk Factors” section of this report and other operations. These include:
Ÿ  difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems;
Ÿ  foreign customers with longer payment cycles than customers in the United States;
Ÿ  tax rates in certain foreign countries that exceed those in the United States and foreign earnings subject to withholding requirements;
Ÿ  tax laws that restrict our ability to use tax credits, offset gains or repatriate funds;
Ÿ  tariffs, exchange controls or other trade restrictions including transfer pricing restrictions when products produced in one country are sold to an affiliated entity in another country;
Ÿ  abrupt changes in foreign government policies and regulations;
Ÿ  unsettled political conditions;
Ÿ  difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights or weaker intellectual property right protections in some countries;
Ÿ  hostility from local populations, particularly in the Middle East; and
Ÿ  difficulties associated with compliance with a variety of laws and regulations governing international trade, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
To the extent thatfactors outside our internationalcontrol, and we may not be able to continue to meet those ratios, tests and covenants. Our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations areto meet our debt obligations will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond our control.

At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as required under the Credit Facility. If we are unable to comply with the restrictive covenants in the future, we would be required to obtain amendments or waivers from our lenders or secure another source of financing. If our current lenders accelerate the maturity of our indebtedness, we may experience project disruptionsnot have sufficient capital available at that time to pay the amounts due to our lenders on a timely basis.

The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and may result in investors selling shares of our common stock at a loss.

In addition, the stock market in general and the Nasdaq Global Select Market in particular have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of listed companies. Industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. Such stock price volatility could result in investors selling shares of our common stock at a loss.

As a holding company, Aegion depends on its operating subsidiaries to meet its financial obligations.

With our Corporate Reorganization, our parent company is now a holding company with no significant assets. Our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own substantially all of our assets. Our cash flow and our ability to meet our obligations depends on the cash flow of our subsidiaries. In addition, the payments of funds in the form of dividends, intercompany payments, tax sharing payments and other forms may be subject to restrictions under the laws of the states and countries in which we operate.

Future sales of our common stock or equity-linked securities in the public market could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.

Sales of substantial numbers of additional shares of our common stock or any shares of our preferred stock, including sales of shares in connection with any future acquisitions, or the perception that such sales could occur, may have a harmful effect on prevailing market prices for our common stock and our ability to raise additional capital in the financial markets at a time and price favorable to us. We may issue equity securities in the future for a number of reasons, including to finance our operations and business strategy, to adjust our ratio of debt to equity, to satisfy obligations upon exercise of outstanding warrants or options or for other reasons. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we have authority to issue 125,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2011, 39,352,3752013, 37,983,114 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or could adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors has the authority, without any action of our stockholders, to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Preferred stock may be issued upon such terms and with such designations as our board of directors may fix in its discretion, including with respect to: the payment of dividends upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up; voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common stock; dividend rates; redemption or conversion rights; liquidation preferences; or voting rights.

In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock set forth in our certificate of incorporation, the certificate of designation relating to such class or series of preferred stock, or as otherwise required by law, any stockholder action may be taken only at a meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any written consent by such stockholders. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors is required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with such arrangement.

These provisions could potentially be used to discourage attempts by others to obtain control of our company through merger, tender offer, proxy, consent or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult or more costly, even if the offer may be considered beneficial by our stockholders. These provisions also may make it more difficult for stockholders to take action opposed by our board of directors or otherwise adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our present policy is to retain earnings to provide for the operation and expansion of our business. Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our earnings, financial condition, cash flows, financing agreements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Furthermore, under the terms of certain debt arrangements to which we are a party, we are subject to certain limitations on paying dividends. However, we carefully review this policy regularly and could initiate dividends in the future, depending on appropriate circumstances.
21

We face a variety of risks associated with acquiring and integrating new business operations that could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On June 30, 2011, we acquired CRTS, Inc. to expand our internal and external coating capabilities. On August 2, 2011, we purchased the assets of Hockway Limited and the capital stock of Hockway Middle East FZE to expand our cathodic protection capabilities. On August 31, 2011, we acquired the North American business of Fyfe Group, LLC through which we have established our Commercial and Structural business segment, and subsequently purchased the Latin American business of Fyfe Group in January 2012. We also recently entered into joint ventures in order to expand our energy and mining business in Asia, Australia, the Middle East, North Africa, the United States and Central America. We may in the future pursue other strategic acquisitions and joint ventures that we believe would expand our product offerings and capabilities or complement these businesses. Any acquisition that we make will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in acquisitions of businesses and formation of new business relationships. The process of integrating different organizational cultures, business practices, information systems, business philosophies and management strategies as well as products or technologies may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. We may have difficulty integrating and assimilating the operations and personnel of any acquired companies, realizing anticipated synergies and maximizing the financial and strategic position of the combined enterprise. We may also have difficulty in managing and controlling businesses that are geographically distant from our corporate offices. The process of integrating acquired businesses and managing strategic alliances may also result in a diversion of management’s attention and cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, our activities. We may assume unknown liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As a result of these risks, the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions may not be fully realized, if at all, and the acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, there is no assurance that we will continue to locate suitable acquisition targets or that we will be able to consummate any such transactions on terms and conditions acceptable to us. The current credit markets may make it more difficult and costly to finance acquisitions. Acquisitions may also bring us into businesses we have not previously conducted and expose us to additional business risks that are different than those we have traditionally experienced.

We may be unable to recognize the benefits of our corporate reorganization.

Management expects to derive certain benefits from the Corporate Reorganization, including limiting legal liabilities, reorganizing our various operating subsidiaries in a more tax efficient manner, facilitating a more cost-effective repatriation of cash to the United States from foreign operations and optimizing management and operations. A variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results and experience to differ materially from those anticipated, resulting in an inability to realize the expected benefits of the Corporate Reorganization and our Company’s ability to execute its plans and strategies.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

Overview

We are a global leader in infrastructure protection and maintenance, providing proprietary technologies and servicesservices: (i) to protect against the corrosion of industrial pipelinespipelines; (ii) to rehabilitate and for the rehabilitation and strengthening of sewer,strengthen water, wastewater, energy and mining piping systems and buildings, bridges, tunnels and waterfront structures. We offer onestructures; and (iii) to utilize integrated professional services in engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance and turnaround services for a broad range of the broadest portfolios of cost-effective solutions for rehabilitating aging or deteriorating infrastructure and protecting new infrastructure from corrosion.energy related industries. Our business activities include research and development, manufacturing, distribution, maintenance, construction, installation, coating and insulation, cathodic protection, research and development and licensing. Our acquisition of Brinderson, L.P. and related entities (“Brinderson”) on July 1, 2013 opens new markets for us through the maintenance, engineering and construction services for downstream and upstream facilities in the North American oil and gas market. Our products and services are currently utilized and performed in more than 10080 countries across six continents. We believe that the depth and breadth of our products and services platform make us a leading “one-stop” provider for the world’s infrastructure rehabilitation and protection needs.

We are organized into fivefour reportable segments: Energy and Mining,Mining; North American SewerWater and Wastewater; International Water Rehabilitation, European Sewer and Water Rehabilitation, Asia-Pacific Sewer and Water RehabilitationWastewater; and Commercial and Structural. We regularly review and evaluate our reportable segments. Market changes between the segments are typically independent of each other, unless a macroeconomic event affects the sewerwater and waterwastewater rehabilitation markets, the oil, mining and gas markets and the commercial and structural markets concurrently. These changes exist for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, local economic conditions, weather-related issues and levels of government funding.

Our long-term strategy consists of:
expanding our position in the growing and profitable energy and mining sector through organic growth, selective acquisitions of companies, formation of strategic alliances and by conducting complimentary product and technology acquisitions;

optimizing our water and wastewater rehabilitation operations by: (i) improving project execution, cost management practices, including the reduction of redundant fixed costs, and product mix; (ii) identifying opportunities to streamline key management functions and processes to improve our profitability; and (iii) strongly emphasizing higher return manufacturing operations;
growing market opportunities in the commercial and structural infrastructure sector through: (i) continued customer acceptance of current products and technologies; (ii) expansion of our product and service offerings with respect to protection, rehabilitation and restoration of a broader group of infrastructure assets; and (iii) leveraging our premier brand and experience of successfully innovating and delivering technologies and services through selective acquisitions of companies and technologies and through strategic alliances; and structural infrastructure sector (A) through (i) continued customer acceptance of current products and technologies and (ii) expansion of our product and service offerings with respect to protection, rehabilitation and restoration of a broader group of infrastructure assets and (B) by leveraging our premier brand and experience of successfully innovating and delivering technologies and services through selective acquisitions of companies and technologies and through strategic alliances;

Consolidated income from continuing operations decreased $6.6 million, or 11.2%, to $52.0 million in 2013 compared to $58.6 million in 2012. The decrease was attributable to declines in our Energy and Mining and Commercial and Structural segments due to (i) weak market conditions for our coatings business in New Iberia, Louisiana, supporting the Gulf of Mexico; (ii) weak market conditions in certain international markets for our industrial linings business, notably Mexico and South America; and (iii) a stall in sales activities and project performance issues for our North American Commercial and Structural business due to the departure in late 2012 of several key leaders in sales and operations. Also contributing to the decrease was a $2.7 million increase in acquisition-related expenses incurred in 2013 and the $5.8 million pre-tax difference in earnout reversals between the two periods. Partially offsetting these declines were increases in our global water and wastewater businesses, profit generated during the second half of 2013 by Brinderson and the $7.9 million (post-tax) gain on sale we recognized in 2013 in connection with the sale of our 50% interest in our German joint venture.
During 2013, our financial results included six months of contributions from Brinderson, which was acquired on July 1, 2013. Brinderson contributed $7.6 million in operating income during 2013. The year ended December 31, 2013 also included reversals of $3.9 million and $0.3 million of earnouts related to CRTS and Fyfe LA, respectively, due to the current year results being below the stated threshold amounts within the respective purchase agreements.
Revenues during 2013 increased $74.6 million, or 7.3%, compared to 2012 primarily due to Brinderson, which contributed $108.2 million in revenues during the second half of 2013, and improvements in our global water and wastewater businesses, specifically North America and Asia. In North America, we experienced a 13.3% revenue growth in 2013 compared to 2012 from improved backlog and a shift to more large diameter projects. Exclusive of Brinderson’s contribution, revenues decreased during 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to lower workable backlog levels within our Commercial and Structural segment and our Energy and Mining segment’s coating operations.
Consolidated operating expenses increased $9.6 million, or 5.7%, in 2013 compared to 2012 due to the addition of Brinderson, which contributed $11.4 million in operating expenses during the second half of 2013. Exclusive of Brinderson, operating expenses decreased during 2013 compared to 2012 from a reduction in incentive compensation expense, operational efficiencies gained in our cathodic protection operations and continued improvements in leveraging our fixed cost structure in our North American Water and Wastewater operations.
Total contract backlog was $759.0 million at December 31, 2013. Exclusive of Brinderson, contract backlog decreased to $490.7 million at December 31, 2013 from $533.2 million at December 31, 2012, due to conditions affecting portions of our Energy and Mining and Commercial and Structural segments and larger projects being completed during 2013, offset by an overall backlog increase in our Water and Wastewater platforms.

Consolidated netincome from continuing operations increased by $30.3 million, or 107.2%, to $58.6 million in 2012 compared to $28.3 million in 2011. The increase was primarily the result of a $23.8 million, or 65.8%, improvement in our Energy and Mining operating income, primarily from growth in our coating and cathodic protection operations. Our North American Water and Wastewater segment increased operating income by $15.3 million, or 226.8%, from improved project management and operational efficiency gains from investments made in the second half of 2011 to reposition the business. Also contributing to the increase in income from continuing operations was $34.0a $3.2 million or 56.2%, lowerdecrease in acquisition-related expenses in 2012 along with the absence of $2.2 million of restructuring expenses and $6.8 million of debt restructuring costs.
During 2012, our financial results included a full year of contributions from Fyfe NA, 362 days of contributions from Fyfe LA, 270 days of contributions from Fyfe Asia, and full year results of our 2011 thanacquisitions of CRTS and Hockway. These acquisitions contributed $14.4 million in 2010.operating income during the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to an operating loss of $0.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. The decline was primarilyyear ended December 31, 2012 included reversals of $8.2 million, $1.5 million and $0.3 million of the earnouts related to CRTS, Hockway and Fyfe LA, respectively, due to performance issues and project delaysthe current year results being below the stated threshold amounts within the respective purchase agreements. The largest earnout reversal was with CRTS from a reduction in our North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation business experienced throughout mostscope of the year. Our North American SewerWasit offshore gas field project in Saudi Arabia and Water Rehabilitation business experienced challenging market conditions, includingmultiple scheduling delays primarily with the offshore portion, which did not meaningfully commence until October 2013, a product mix shift to lower margin small diameter pipes, smaller projects and other market challenges in project bids and releases.delay of 18 months. Additionally, our Energy and Mining segment experienced a lull in large-diameter pipe coating projects. Also contributing to the decline in income from continuing operations were acquisition related2011 included acquisition-related costs of $6.4 million, ($4.7 million, net of tax), restructuring costs associated with a reduction in forceworkforce of $2.2 million, ($1.5reversal of $1.7 million net of tax)the earnout related to our 2009 acquisition of Bayou and expenses associated with an expanded credit facility, which included a $5.7 million ($3.4 million, net of tax) make wholemake-whole payment for the redemption of our outstanding Senior Notes and a $1.1 million ($0.7 million, net of tax) write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Revenues during 20112012 increased by $23.6$91.1 million, or 2.6%9.8%, from significant growth in our Energy and Mining segment where revenues increased 22.3% primarily due to the inclusionour industrial linings operations in North America and internationally. The 2012 revenue also included $77.2 million of revenuesadditional revenue from a full year of operations from our recent2011 acquisitions of CRTS, Hockway and Fyfe NA and international revenue growth in our industrial linings operations.2012 acquisitions of Fyfe LA and Fyfe Asia. These growth areasincreases were partially offset by downturnsa $59.9 million, or 12.3%, decline in revenues across all of our Water and Wastewater operations. Gross profit margin increased 210 basis points because of the recovery in our North American SewerWater and Water Rehabilitation business,Wastewater segment primarily as well as our pipe coating operations in the United States. Gross margins in 2011 were lower than the margins achieved in 2010 primarilya result of improved project management and due to lower gross margins achieved bystrong margin performance from our North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment due to delays in project bids and releases causing lower volume and other performance issues principally in the western and eastern regionsoperations of the United States. In addition, there have been a larger percentage of small diameter pipe projects putting pressure on project management and margins. Gross margin rates achieved by our Energy and Mining segment continue to be lower than the prior year due to a change in the geographic mix of our industrial linings operations, which performed more work internationally, where margins are historically lower than North America and a change in the product mix in our coating operations to smaller diameter. We implemented improvements to our North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation business in the second half of 2011, and we are experiencing robust market conditions throughout our key growth segments of Energy and Mining and Commercial and Structural.

Fyfe.
Consolidated operating expenses increased $7.5$18.7 million, or 5.2%12.5%, in 20112012 compared to 2010.2011. The increase was primarily related to our recent acquisitions and increased costs to support the global growth of our Energy and Mining segment. These increases were partially offset byOur Water and Wastewater segment’s operating expenses declined due to continued focus on operational efficiencies and cost containment efforts throughoutand organizational improvements that were implemented in the organization, specifically our North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment. During 2011, we recorded $2.2 millionsecond half of pre-tax severance related costs for a reduction in force across all segments of our company including our corporate headquarters. The majority of these costs were paid in 2011 and we do not anticipate any additional expense related to this reduction in force program. We anticipate these restructuring efforts will generate incremental savings of $5.0-$6.0 million in 2012.

Consolidated net income from continuing operations was $60.6 million in 2010, an increase of $30.3 million, or 100.3%, over 2009. The improvement was driven by an increase in revenues of $188.1 million, or 25.9%, due primarily to strong revenue growth in our Energy and Mining segment and the inclusion of a full year of revenues from our 2009 acquisitions of Bayou and Corrpro and efforts to drive performance in our North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment to monetize backlog. The increase in revenues was partially offset by declines in revenues in our European Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment where in 2009 we exited selected, unprofitable contracting markets. Net income from continuing operations was unfavorably impacted in 2009 by acquisition-related expenses of $8.5 million and restructuring charges of $5.2 million. The restructuring expenses included $4.0 million, which is classified on the restructuring line of the income statement, and $1.2 million, which is classified in operating expenses on the income statement. Net income from continuing operations increased $21.7 million, or 55.7%, when compared to 2009 net income excluding acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges.

Consolidated operating expenses increased $13.7 million, or 10.5%, to $144.2 million in 2010 from $130.6 million in 2009. The increase was due to the continued growth of our Energy and Mining and Asia-Pacific Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segments. The increase in operating expenses was partially offset by approximately $3.8 million from our cost reduction measures implemented by our European Sewer and Water Rehabilitation business related to its 2009 restructuring.

In 2009, we incurred $8.5 million of acquisition-related expenses. Approximately $8.2 million of this amount was related to the acquisitions of Bayou and Corrpro. We also incurred $4.0 million in restructuring charges related to our European Sewer and Water Rehabilitation business and the closure of the Corrpro paint team operation. The European restructuring charge was incurred to reorganize the business and position it for profitable growth and to reduce fixed costs. The reorganization included exiting low-return geographies, combining operations and realigning responsibilities and functions in our European headquarters office. The restructuring charge was comprised of severance, lease termination, asset impairment and legal costs. The Corrpro paint team business, which painted United States Navy ships, was non-core to our other businesses. The amount of the charge related to the paint team business was approximately $0.7 million and was primarily comprised of severance and asset impairment costs.

Revenues

Revenues in our Energy and Mining segment increased by $51.0$48.1 million, or 13.3%9.4%, to $433.2$562.1 million in 20112013 compared to $382.2$514.0 million in 2010. This increase was2012 primarily due to increasesthe addition of Brinderson, which contributed $108.2 million in additional revenues. Exclusive of Brinderson, revenues decreased $60.1 million, or 11.7%, in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to reduced revenue in our industrial linings operations in Morocco, slower market demand in certain international markets, notably Mexico and cathodic protectionSouth America, lower revenue at our coating operations partially offset by decreasesin New Iberia, Louisiana, and lower revenues in our pipe-coatingrobotic coatings operations. In Morocco, revenues declined $29.8 million, or 64.8%, year over year, as the project was completed late in 2013, with larger portions being completed in 2012. Our coating operations experienced a $19.5 million decrease from 2012 due to a lack of project activity available in the market, primarily the Gulf of Mexico, coupled with certain projects shifting to 2014 and 2015. Our robotic coating operations recognized $3.0 million less in revenues in 2013 compared to 2012 due to continued delays on the Wasit gas field project. Our industrial linings operations experienced weakness in Mexico and South America in 2013 compared to 2012 due to lower mining sector activity and economic issues in various countries. Collectively, revenue in these markets declined by $17.2 million, or 41.3%. These declines were partially offset by $10.4 million, or 4.7%, growth from our cathodic protection operations due to stronger market conditions in 2013, particularly in certain regional markets in the United States and Europe, and continued favorable market conditions in North America as well as growth in all of its geographies and expanded itsour industrial linings operations with work in the Middle East, and Africa during 2011. We expect improving global markets will lead to expansion within existing geographies as well as new geographies, specifically Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, as evidencedwhich increased revenue by our recent acquisitions and joint ventures within our corrosion engineering, lining and pipe coating services operations. Our pipe-coating operations experienced a lull$29.1 million, or 229.4%, in availability of large-diameter pipe coating projects. Additionally, this segment included $6.4 million and $2.1 million of revenues from our recent acquisition of CRTS (June 30, 2011) and Hockway (August 2, 2011), respectively.2013.

Our Energy and Mining segment contract backlog increased $110.3 million, or 75.5%, to $256.4 million at December 31, 20112013 was $429.1 million, which represented a $188.3 million, or 78.2%, increase compared to December 31, 2010. We have increased2012. Excluding Brinderson, contract backlog levels across all product lines with the largest growth coming fromfor our Energy and Mining segment decreased $80.0 million, or 33.2%. Backlog for our industrial linings operations. In Octoberoperations declined sequentially and on a year-over-year basis primarily due to our completion of the $67 million Moroccan project awarded in 2011, throughwhich represented $14.4 million, or 5.7%, of our MoroccanEnergy and Mining segment backlog at December 31, 2012, with no backlog for this project remaining at December 31, 2013. The decrease was also caused by a curtailment in capital and maintenance expenditures for our international industrial linings joint venture, we were awarded a $67.3operations coupled with depressed backlog for our coating operations in New Iberia, Louisiana because of timing of pipe coating activity supporting oil and gas offshore projects in the Gulf of Mexico.
Brinderson backlog represents estimated revenues to be generated under long-term MSAs and other signed contracts. If the remaining term of the arrangements exceeds 12 months, the revenues attributable to such arrangements included in backlog are limited to only the next 12 months of expected revenues. At the date of acquisition, July 1, 2013, this backlog was $201.0 million dollar project, which isand increased 33.5% during the largest contract ever awarded for this segment. Additionally, theremainder of 2013 to $268.3 million at December 31, 2013. This increase iswas principally due to securing significant new downstream long-term maintenance contracts with customers during the inclusionfourth quarter of backlog from our recent acquisitions of CRTS and Hockway of $40.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2011.2013.

RevenuesDuring 2012, revenues in our Energy and Mining segment increased by $140.6$93.6 million, or 58.2%22.3%, to $382.2$514.0 million compared to $420.4 million in 2010 compared to $241.72011. All operations of this segment increased revenues in 2012, led by a $40.1 million, or 33.0%, increase in 2009. This increase wasour industrial linings operation. The industrial linings operation recorded record revenue levels, primarily due to significant growth inthe Moroccan project and continued global expansion. Our cathodic protection operation increased revenues $18.7 million, or 9.2%, from a more robust sales market. Finally, our pipe coating and industrial linings operations. Additionally, the increase inrobotic coating operations increased revenues was due to the inclusion$34.3 million, or 36.6%, because of increased larger project work and higher margin concrete coating jobs as well as a full year of resultsoperations from our 2009 acquisitions of Bayou (February 20, 2009) and Corrpro (March 31, 2009) as well as the addition of double joint welding capabilities in the first quarter of 2010 and Bayou Perma-Pipe Canada, Ltd., our Canadian piperobotic coating joint venture (“BPPC”), in October 2009. Our Energy and Mining segment is active in six primary geographic regions: the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, the Middle East and Europe, and includes pipeline rehabilitation, pipe coating, design and installation of cathodic protection systems and welding services. During 2010, each of these product lines experienced growth in revenue. Revenue in our Energy and Mining segment is responsive to market conditions in the oil, gas and mining industries; however, portions of our Energy and Mining segment are somewhat insulated from market downturns as they are not entirely dependent on new pipelines or expansion, but rather on rehabilitation and maintenance and the opportunity for our customers to gain increased utilization and capacity through existing assets.operation.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit in our Energy and Mining segment remained essentially flat in 2013 compared to 2012. Brinderson contributed $19.0 million of gross profit at 17.6% gross margins in 2013. Gross margins declined by 210 basis points to 22.7% during 2013. The primary drivers of the decline in gross margins from the prior year were the addition of Brinderson’s lower profit margin maintenance work, additional costs for the project in Morocco, and 2012 containing a large, higher gross profit concrete job for our coating operations in New Iberia, Louisiana that was not present during 2013. The industrial lining work in Morocco generated negative gross margins in 2013 and declined $8.7 million compared to 2012, while gross profit on the coating operations in New Iberia, Louisiana declined $6.9 million, or 94.0%. In addition, gross profit from our robotic coating operations decreased $3.6 million, or 30.3%, due to customer-directed delays on the Wasit project and other projects being moved into 2014. Partially offsetting these declines were improved results from our industrial linings operations in the Middle East, which increased gross profit $4.0 million during 2013.
OurWe believe the end markets for our Energy and Mining segment remain robust. Project delays and timing of project activity for the coating operations in the Gulf of Mexico and lining operations in some international markets slowed momentum in 2013. For the first half of 2014, we expect (i) a pick up in production of the large robotic project for the offshore Wasit gas field; (ii) growth from our cathodic protection operations, specifically in Canada, from capital investments in North America and growth in new geographies for engineered pipeline integrity systems; (iii) higher margins for the projects expected to be completed in our industrial lining operations with the completion of the lower margin Morocco project; and (iv) increased contributions from Brinderson due to expected strong maintenance work from recent awards, coupled with the impact of a full year contribution to earnings (business was acquired in July 2013).
We anticipate continued healthy global markets in the near term will lead to expansion within existing geographies for our corrosion engineering and industrial lining platforms as well as new geographies, specifically in Asia and the Middle East. We believe that continued strong commodity prices coupled with ever increasing demand for pipeline maintenance spending in the sector, more significant opportunities in deep water offshore pipeline development, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico, along with growth in our businesses situated in the key infrastructure spend areas of Canada, the Middle East and South America, provide us significant growth opportunities well into the future. The outlook for Brinderson also is very robust with recent new awards for the western region of the United States upstream and downstream oil and gas markets. In addition, Brinderson is pursuing opportunities to expand its services in the West Texas Permian Basin region and other high growth geographies.
During 2012, our Energy and Mining segment gross profit increased by $4.4$18.3 million, or 4.2%16.7%, to $109.8$127.6 million compared to $109.3 million in 2011 compared to $105.3 million in 2010 primarily due to2011; however, our industrial linings operations and the inclusion of gross profit from our recent acquisitions of CRTS and Hockway.margins declined by 120 basis points during 2012. Our gross profit increased across all product lines with the largest increases coming from a $5.2 million, or 16.6%, increase in our industrial lining operations and an $8.5 million, or 257.5%, increase from a full year of results in our robotic coating operation. We experienced a 310 basis point margin declined to 25.3% compared to 27.6%,decline in our industrial lining operations, due to a change in the geographic mixgrowth of our industrial linings operations,international markets, which performed more work in South America, wherehistorically have lower margins, are historically lower than other regions due to a larger percentage of non-lining work on projects and a change in the product mix270 basis point margin decline in our coating operations with less large diameter pipefrom a larger mix of more commodity type coating projects being performed than the prior year. We also had a number of larger international projects where margins are lower than in our core North American markets.

We believe our Energy and Mining segment is positioned for strong growth in 2012 due to our recently formed joint venture, UPS-Aptec, which was formed to execute a $67.3 million project in Morocco and USTS, which is being formed to execute pipeline, piping and flowline high-density polyethylene lining services throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Additionally, our recent acquisitions of CRTS and Hockway should enhance our market position in the Middle East. Finally, our pipe coating operations should experience growth in both revenue and profitability due to the return of the deep-water market in the Gulf of Mexico following the lifting of the offshore drilling moratorium. Bayou Wasco, which will allow us to expand our presence in the North American insulation market, should contribute to the Energy and Mining growth in 2012 and beyond.

Our Energy and Mining segment gross profit increased by $38.1 million, or 56.7%, to $105.3 million in 2010 compared to $67.2 million in 2009. The increase in gross profit year over year was partially due to the inclusion of a full-year of results for 2010 for our pipe coating and cathodic protection businesses compared to partial years in 2009. Also, the additions of double joint welding capabilities and BPPC contributed to the increase in gross profit. Gross profit margin percentages were strong in all areas of our Energy and Mining segment, most notably in our pipe coating business.

Operating Income and Operating Margin
Lower gross marginsDuring 2013, we reversed $3.9 million of the contractual earnouts related to CRTS because operating results were below the stated threshold amounts in the purchase agreement, mostly due to delays we have experienced with the Wasit project in Saudi Arabia. In addition, 2013 results also included $5.8 million for costs incurred related to the Company’s acquisition of Brinderson and higher operating expenses, includingother acquisition targets. During 2012, we reversed $8.2 million and $1.5 million of the contractual earnouts related to CRTS and Hockway, respectively. 2011 included $2.7 million of acquisition-related andcosts, $0.8 million of restructuring costs associated with a reduction in force expenditures, partially offset by higher revenue, ledand a $1.7 million reversal of the earnout related to a $6.1our 2009 acquisition of Bayou.

Revenues decreased $56.3increased by $42.2 million, or 13.6%13.3%, in 20112013 to $357.5$359.5 million in our North American SewerWater and Water Rehabilitation segment. Overall,Wastewater segment compared to the decreasesprior year. The growth came from increased volume across all geographies. Specifically, several crews were primarily dueadded during the year (capitalizing on record backlog levels) and large-diameter footage increased more than 100% compared to lower backlog levels and delaysthe prior year. We also had a favorable project mix from our manufacturing facility, producing 89% more large diameter tube in bids and project releases2013 than in the Eastern and Western regions2012 to our contracting operations. Third party tube sales were $20.5 million in 2013, an increase of the United States as well$1.3 million, or 6.9%, from 2012 as a result of increased demand for higher percentage of small diameter pipe projects. Additionally, we were impacted by continuous severe weather during the early parts of 2011. The decreases were partially offset by growth in our Canadian operations as well as a $1.8 million increase in third-party tube sales.quality manufactured products.

Contract backlog in our North American SewerWater and Water RehabilitationWastewater segment at December 31, 20112013 was $130.0 million. This represented$241.9 million, a $29.5$56.9 million, or 18.5%30.8%, decreaseincrease from backlog at December 31, 2010. Overall, decreasing levels of backlog are due to weaker market conditions2012. This segment won multiple large projects during the year in the United States. We have reduced our crewMidwest and operating resources accordingly so as to minimize excess fixed cost capacity. We expect a more stable bid table during 2012 and are seeing an improvement in the margins of projects in backlog.

Revenues increased by 13.1% in our North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment in 2010 to $413.8 million from $365.9 million in the prior year. Revenue growth was realized throughout most of our geographic markets, specifically, in the Central and EasternEast regions of the United States. The increaseWe expect domestic market activity and bidding performance to remain strong in 2014.
During 2012, revenues decreased $40.2 million, or 11.2%, to $317.3 million compared to 2011. This decline was primarily duethe result of reduced backlog in the first half of 2012, part of which reflected a more selective bid targeting and pricing strategy to support gross margin expansion. The largest decline came from the addition of crewsUnited States contracting regions, which decreased revenues by $32.7 million, or 11.9%. Third party tube sales increased by $2.1 million, or 12.3%, to $19.2 million in 2010 due2012 compared to increased backlog levels as well2011 as a $3.7 million increase in third-party tube sales from $11.5 million in 2009result of continued efforts to $15.2 million in 2010.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit in our North American SewerWater and Water RehabilitationWastewater segment decreasedincreased $11.4 million, or 17.5%, to $76.7 million in 2013 compared to $65.3 million in 2012. Gross margin percentages increased to 21.3% in 2013 from 20.6% in 2012. The gross margin improvement of 70 basis points was primarily due to improved project mix during 2013, which shifted to more medium and large diameter work. Additionally, the efforts to improve project cost estimating, maintain bidding discipline and focus on strong project management execution contributed to the year’s improved results.
In 2012, gross profit increased by 40.6%17.8% to $65.3 million compared to $55.4 million in 2011. Our North American Water and Wastewater segment experienced a number of performance issues during the first half of 2011, compared to $93.4 million in 2010. Gross profit margins decreased from 22.6% in 2010 to 15.5% in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the 13.6% decline in revenues and compressed gross margins resulting from project executionwhich negatively impacted profitability. These issues magnified by project release delays impacting crew utilization. In addition, there has been a significant shift to lower margin small diameter sizes, pressuringincluded isolated poor project management in certain regions and crew operations, further impacting performance. Contracting margins forfailure in the Eastern and Western regions improvedexecution of certain projects primarily in our Atlantic region of the United States. During the second half of 2011, as we beganimplemented a number of changes in this segment in order to seeaddress these performance issues including reducing our crew levels, enhancing our bidding discipline, re-establishing an organizational commitment to quality in execution and changes in senior management of this segment. These actions were implemented with success during 2012, which saw an increase in gross profit of $9.9 million, or 17.8%, despite an 11.2% decline in revenues. Furthermore, gross profit margins increased to 20.6% in 2012 from 15.5% in 2011. The gross

Revenues
Revenues in our International Water and Wastewater segment decreased $1.4 million, or 1.3%, to $109.6 million in 2013 compared to $111.0 million in 2012. In 2013, we recorded $0.5experienced lower volumes in several of our Asian markets including Singapore, where we have substantially completed the legacy projects, and India, where there has been no new large project activity in the last year. In addition, our operations in France and Switzerland experienced a weaker 2013 due to a number of project delays and sustained recessionary impacts. Offsetting these decreases was $5.7 million of severance expense relatedwork in Malaysia in 2013 compared to $0.9 million in 2012 and growth across the contracting markets in the Netherlands and Spain.
Contract backlog in our International Water and Wastewater segment was $38.2 million at December 31, 2013. This represented a decrease of $18.4 million, or 32.5%, compared to December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to current year installation production in the United Kingdom, France and Malaysia, without any new large project awards. In 2013, backlog levels in Australia were slow to recover as we completed the Sydney contracts and worked to expand the business operation in Queensland. In January 2014, we secured $30.5 million in multi-year term contracts in Melbourne and Newcastle, Australia.
During 2012, revenues in our International Water and Wastewater segment decreased $19.7 million, or 15.1%, compared to $130.7 million in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to our contracting operations, which were impacted by weaker market conditions in nearly all of our geographies. The largest decreases came from our operations in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Singapore and Australia. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in our third party tube sales and increased revenue from our Hong Kong operations, principally from additional sewer pipeline maintenance work.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit in our International Water and Wastewater segment increased $8.0 million, or 55.6%, to $22.3 million in 2013 compared to $14.3 million in 2012. The increase was primarily due to a reduction of the large losses in force.Singapore from 2012. During 2013, we reduced losses in Singapore by $5.9 million. We also increased gross profit from our Australian and Malaysian operations by $1.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, during 2013. Partially offsetting these improvements were decreases in gross profit related to project execution issues in the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

In Asia, we are poised to see improved results as we continue our progress on projects in Malaysia, intelligently expand our opportunities in India and execute on new projects in Australia. In Europe, our prospects for growth are more moderate, but still positive, as we expand our third party product sales and continue to optimize our operational capabilities in select contracting markets in Western Europe.
During 2012, gross profit decreased by $15.3 million, or 51.6%, to $14.3 million in 2012 compared to $29.6 million in 2011 primarily due to the 15.1% decline in revenues. Our Singaporean operation experienced significant project issues as three large contracts were winding down throughout 2012, which negatively impacted gross profit by $7.9 million during 2012 compared to 2011. Additionally, our performance in Australia was slowed by severe weather during the first half of 2012 and increased costs of project execution. Weak economic conditions in Spain and re-work costs on an isolated project in the United Kingdom also contributed to the 970 basis point decrease in gross margin in 2012 compared to 2011.

The North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment operating margin decreased2011, primarily due to 1.9%volume reductions, closing a facility in 2011 compared to 9.9% in 2010 driven by the lower gross profit margin levels previously discussed.
While our bid table has recently improved, we continue to see a larger percentage of small diameter pipe projects and customers who have continued to delay project releases. We began to see improved performance towardsUnited Kingdom during the endsecond half of 2011 and coupled with more stable bid conditions and a more disciplined bidding approach, we anticipateour continued improved performance in this business during 2012.

Operating income in this segment increased to $40.8 million in 2010 compared to $36.1 million in 2009, a 13.3% increase, primarily due to increased revenues and lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower gross profit margins. The North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment operating margin was 9.9% in 2010 and 2009.

Revenues

Revenuesfocus on cost efficiencies in our European Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment increased by $12.8 million, or 17.2%,contracting operations in 2011 compared to 2010. The increase was primarily due to growth across all of our contracting regions, except France with the largest growth coming from our Netherlands operations as well as a $2.1 million, or 38.3%, growth in third-party tube sales. The United Kingdom market has shown signs of rebounding from weaker market conditions that persisted over the past few years.

Contract backlog in this segment was $20.7 million at December 31, 2011. This represented a decrease of $2.6 million, or 11.2%, compared to December 31, 2010. Backlog has improved in France, while market conditions and increased competition have slightly impacted backlog in the Netherlands. Our contract backlog is not reflective of anticipated increases in product sales across Europe, which have been gaining momentum.

In 2010, revenues in our European Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment decreased by 13.7% to $74.3 million from $86.0 million in 2009. This decrease was due primarily to lower contracting revenues as we exited the contracting markets of Belgium, Romania and Poland. Additionally, we experienced poor market conditions in France and the United Kingdom due to depressed economic conditions along with the implementation of austerity measures. Partially offsetting the decline in contracting revenues were increased revenues from our manufacturing facility, driven by increased third-party tube sales.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit increased by $2.2 million, or 10.8%, to $22.8 million in 2011 compared to $20.6 million in 2010, while gross profit margins declined slightly during 2011. The growth from our Netherlands operations was primarily at lower margins and we also experienced competitive pressures in Switzerland, which reduced our gross profit margin. The decline in gross profit margin was partially offset by improved performance in France and the United Kingdom and increased third party tube sales, which contributed a higher margin.

Gross profit declined by $2.0 million, or 8.9%, to $20.6 million in 2010 compared to $22.6 million in 2009 due to lower revenue levels coupled with performance issues in France. However, gross profit margin increased from 26.3% to 27.7% due to increased profitability in manufacturing, increased third-party tube sales, better project execution, more disciplined cost management across the European business and our exiting less profitable markets.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 3.5%, in 2011 compared to 2010, due to increased expenditures to drive growth in tube sales and additional support for the growth of the business.various countries. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreasedincreased to 18.5%20.6% for 2012, compared to 19.3% for 2011, primarily as a reductionresult of 240 basis points from 21.0% for 2010, reflecting efficiencies from regional restructuring efforts and continued focus on expense control.the significant decline in revenue. Additionally, as part of theour overall Company restructuring effort in 2011, the European SewerInternational Water and Water RehabilitationWastewater segment incurred $0.7 million in the third quarter 2011 for severance related costs associated with a reduction in force, primarily in certain of our United Kingdom operations, more specificallyrelated to its utility construction crews and related support staff, which we anticipate will save the operation approximately $0.6-$0.7 million on an annualized basis.

Operating expenses decreased by $5.0 million, or 24.1%, in 2010 compared to 2009, due to the 2009 reorganization as well as continued cost reduction efforts across all regions in Europe. As a result of the reorganization in 2009, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, of which $1.2 million was recorded in the operating expense line of the income statement. The restructuring charge consisted of employee severance and lease cancellation costs, along with write-downs of certain assets associated with the exit from various markets and no further costs from this reorganization occurred. Excluding the restructuring charges, operating expenses decreased $3.7 million, or 19.4%, in 2010 versus 2009.

Revenues

Revenues in our Asia-Pacific SewerCommercial and Water RehabilitationStructural segment decreased by $0.9$14.3 million, or 2.1%19.2%, to $43.7$60.2 million in 2011for 2013 compared to $44.62012. Our United States operations declined $21.1 million in 2010. Theprimarily due to the lower workable backlog. Partially offsetting this decrease was due primarily to lower revenuea $2.7 million increase in Indiaour Canadian operation due to continued delaysa large material order and a $4.4 million increase in our Asian operations due to stronger project activity in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Our North American business struggled to build momentum in the completionUnited States throughout 2013 primarily due to the departure in late 2012 of olderseveral key leaders in sales and operations, primarily in the pipeline business. The departures resulted in: (1) lower workable backlog from a stall in sales activity that is being addressed by the ongoing investment in the sales organization; and (2) performance issues on certain projects and stranded fixed costs from lower revenue. The departures caused disruption in the award of newer projects partially offset by growth of our Australian operation as we expand our primary Australian market beyond Sydney.organization, significantly extending the time needed for the investments made in the sales and operations functions to take hold. Similar to the efforts with North American Water and Wastewater in 2010 and 2011, efforts are underway to institute best-in-class project management and estimating to improve consistency. These efforts are expected to lead to improved sales acquisitions, bidding and project execution in 2014.

Contract backlog in our Asia-Pacific SewerCommercial and Water RehabilitationStructural segment decreased by $42.3 million, or 53.0%, to $37.5was $49.8 million at December 31, 2011 from $79.82013. This represented a decrease of $1.0 million at, or 2.0%, compared to December 31, 2010. The decrease was2012. North American backlog increased primarily due to improved sales activity during the lackfourth quarter of large awards in 20112013. In Asia, backlog decreased due to continued bidthe backlog burn of current projects and delays in Indianew project releases. We anticipate an increase in the number of project opportunities, both domestically and Malaysia as well as our efforts to work through backloginternationally, including pipeline projects, which will be bid in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. Additionally, a Singapore project was adjusted downward during the second quarter of 2011 due to project revisions. Prospects continue to be strong throughout most of Asia-Pacific for expansion of the business,coming months, including third-party tube sales.

Revenues in our Asia-Pacific Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment increased by $11.4 million, or 34.2%, to $44.6 million in 2010 compared to $33.3 million in 2009. The increase was due primarily to the inclusion of a full-year of revenues from our Australian and Hong Kong operations, which had not been consolidated in the first two quarters of 2009, as well as the inclusion of revenue from Insituform-Singapore, which we acquired in January 2010. The increases mentioned above were partially offset by a revenue decline in India, primarily due to project delays as a result of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which were held in 2010 in New Delhi, India, our primary market in India.

Our gross2012, primarily as a result of lower backlog levels, including reduced levels of higher margin pipeline projects, coupled with project performance issues relative to project bids. Partially offsetting this decline was a $0.8 million increase from our Canadian operations driven by revenue growth. Gross profit marginmargins declined 7501,500 basis points to 15.5% in 2011 compared to 23.0% in 2010. India continued to severely impact our overall Asia-Pacific gross profit marginduring 2013 due to the lack of new, more profitable projectsproject performance issues and erosion of margins duethe lower margin mix compared to the continued delay of existing projects. Additionally,2012. We are focused on investments in sales, engineering and operations to increase our Singapore operation experienced project release delays, which negatively impacted gross profit. These declines were partially offset by higher revenuesgrowth opportunities and improve backlog and execution capabilities.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses in our AustralianCommercial and Structural segment were essentially the same in 2013 and 2012, despite the full year inclusion of operating expenses from Fyfe Group’s Latin America and Asian operations.

Gross profit in our Asia-Pacific Sewer and Water Rehabilitation segment increased by $1.3 million, or 13.9%, in 2010 compared to 2009. Gross profit increased in all regions except India. The decrease in India This was primarily due to revisions made in the cost to complete for two projects.

Our gross profit margin decreased to 23.0% in 2010 compared to 27.2% in 2009controlling costs during 2013 as this segment continued to grow into the contracting markets in Asia, but also due to the project write-downs in India. The contracting markets historically carry lower margins than third party tube sales and royalties, which made up a larger percentage of this segment in prior years.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by $1.1 million, or 10.8%, in 2011 compared to 2010 due principally to cost containment efforts throughout the region and lower corporate allocations. revenues were down year over year.

Operating Income (loss)(Loss) and Operating Margin

Lower gross profitThe revenue decline and gross profit margins,margin compression, partially offset by lower operatingno acquisition expense, led to a $2.6$13.9 million operating loss in 2011 compared to less than $0.1 million in operating income in 2010. Operating margin declined to (5.7)% in 2011 compared to 0.2% in 2010.

During 2011, we incurred $3.7 million of acquisition-related expenses for this business as well as current and former acquisition targets. In connection with the acquisition of Fyfe NA, we were granted exclusive negotiating rights to acquire Fyfe LA, Fyfe Asia and Fyfe Europe. In January 2012, we completed the acquisition of Fyfe LA and we anticipate completing the acquisitions of Fyfe Asia and Fyfe Europe during the first and second quarters of 2012, respectively. Backlog at December 31, 2011 for the Commercial and Structural segment was $19.6 million, a $2.1 million, or 12.2%, increase from September 30, 2011. We anticipate that the Commercial and Structural segment will generate very strong earnings (excluding acquisition-related expenditures) and top-line growth in 2012.

Excluding the acquisition-related expenses, our Commercial and Structural segment generated $3.0 million in operating income and a 17.4% operating margin. This segment has delivered strong gross and operating margins in the four-month period following the acquisition due to good performance on pipeline projects.

Other Income (Expense)
Interest Income and Expense

Interest income decreased $0.2 million to $0.3 million in 2013 compared to $0.5 million in 2012, due to low interest rates on bank deposits. Interest expense increased by $6.4$3.1 million to $15.1$13.2 million in 2013 compared to $10.1 million in 2012 as outstanding loan principal balances increased year over year due to our July 1, 2013 acquisition of Brinderson. In 2013, we entered into a new $650 million credit facility in connection with our acquisition of Brinderson. Interest expense in 2013 also included $2.0 million in arrangement fees associated with securing our new $650 million senior secured credit facility.
During 2012, interest income increased $0.2 million from $0.3 million in 2011, primarily due to higher cash balances throughout the year. Interest expense decreased by $4.9 million to $10.1 million in 2012 compared to $8.7$15.0 million in 2010. During the third quarter of2011. In 2011, we entered into a new $500.0 million credit facility consisting of a $250.0 million five-year revolving credit line and a $250.0 million five-year term loan facility. Interest expense in 2011 included a $5.7 million “make-whole” payment for our redemption of previously issued Senior Notes and the write-off of $1.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs from our old credit facility. Interest expense
Other Income (Expense)
Other income increased to $8.7$6.3 million in 20102013 compared to $8.32012 due to the $11.3 million gain recognized on the sale of our fifty percent (50%) interest in 2009 primarilyour German joint venture in the second quarter of 2013. Partially offsetting this increase were higher foreign currency losses resulting from the revaluation of certain asset and liability balances and a non-cash charge of $2.7 million related to a full yearthe write-down of interest expense associated with our acquisitions of Bayou and Corrpro and the outstanding loan frominvestment in our Bayou joint venture as part of the purchase price accounting associated with our 2009 acquisition of Bayou. The non-cash charge represents our current estimate of the difference between the carrying value of the investment on our balance sheet and the amount we expect to receive in Canada. Interest income was essentially flat in 2011 compared to 2010 and decreased $0.2 million to $0.3 million in 2010 compared to $0.5 million in 2009, due primarily to lower deposit balances throughoutconnection with the year and lower interest rates on cash balances.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income increased by $2.9 million, or 304.4%, in 2011 compared to 2010. The increase in 2011 was due to the foreign currency adjustmentsexercise option (as discussed in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report and higher foreign currency gains from foreign denominated liabilities on our balance sheet. Otherreport).
In 2012, other income (expense) decreased $2.4by $3.3 million to $(0.9) million in 2010 compared to $1.4 million of expense compared to $1.9 million of income in 2009.2011. This decrease was primarily due to a one-time foreign currency translation adjustment during 2011.

Taxes on Income

Our effective tax rate was 20.6% and 26.3% in 2011 was 23.8%,2013 and 2012, respectively, both of which waswere lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to significant income in jurisdictions with rates lower than the United States. We expect a slightly higherThe lower effective tax rate infor 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to increased incomea shift in jurisdictions with higher tax rates, such as the United States.

mix of earnings towards foreign jurisdictions.
Our deferred tax liabilities in excess of deferred tax assets were $32.3$30.9 million at December 31, 2013, including a $4.7$7.8 million valuation allowance primarily related to foreign net operating losses. Deferred tax assets include $0.5 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards, of which $0.1$0.5 million has no expiration date, $0.4 million, will expire in 2021, and $9.8$9.5 million in federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards, net of applicable valuation allowances, of which $3.6$4.2 million has no expiration date and $6.2$5.3 million will expire between the years of 20122014 and 2031.2032.

Our effective tax rate in 2010 was 29.6% and was lower than the federal statutory rate due primarily to the benefit of income in jurisdictions with rates lower than the U.S. rate.
Our effective tax rate in any given year is dependent in part on the level of taxable income we generate in each of the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliated Companies

Equity in earnings of affiliated companies was $5.2 million, $6.4 million and $3.5 million $7.3 millionin 2013, 2012 and $1.2 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The 2011 results were $3.8 million less than 2010,decrease during 2013 was primarily due to weaker results atthe sale of our former German joint venture in the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by increased project activity from Bayou Coating, our pipe coating joint venture in Baton Rouge, and at our German joint venture.Louisiana. The decrease at Bayou Coatingincrease during 2012 was primarily due to a reduced volume of large pipe coating projects, while the decrease$2.7 million increase in our German joint venture was due to more competitive conditions in Germany and economic issues in Eastern Europe.earnings from Bayou Coating.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We expect the principal operational use of funds for the foreseeable future will be for capital expenditures, working capital, debt service, potential acquisitions workingand share repurchases. During 2013, capital and debt servicing. During 2011, capital expenditures were primarily for equipmentour new insulation facility in Louisiana and for BPPC, our Canadian coating operation, and supporting growth in our Energy and Mining and Asia-Pacific operations. We expect increasedoperations, along with equipment needed to expand our operational capability in the Middle East. For 2013, we experienced decreased levels of capital expenditures in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily for2012 due to the completion of the two large capital requirementsprojects in our coating operations. We spent a total of $4.0 million and $23.6 million on these projects in 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was partially funded by our joint ventures formed in 2011 within our Energy and Mining segment.

venture partners.
At December 31, 2011,2013, our cash balances were located worldwide for working capital and support needs. Given our extensive international operations, approximately 45%54.9% of our cash is denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to regulatory capital requirements; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. With few exceptions, U.S. income taxes, net of applicable foreign tax credits, have not been provided on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries (approximately $214.7 million as of December 31, 2011).subsidiaries. Our intention is to permanently reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings only when it is tax effective to do so.earnings.

Our primary source of cash is operating activities. We occasionally borrow under our line of credit’s available capacity to fund operating activities, including working capital investments. Our operating activities include the collection of accounts receivable as well as the ultimate billing and collection of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. At December 31, 2011,2013, we believe our net accounts receivable net and our costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as reported on our consolidated balance sheet are fully collectible. At December 31, 2011,2013, we had certain net receivables (as discussed in the following paragraph) that we believe will be collected but are being disputed by the customer in some manner, which havehas impacted or may meaningfully impact the timing of collection or require us to invoke our contractual rights to an arbitration or mediation process, or take legal action. If in a future period we believe any of these receivables are no longer collectible, we would increase our allowance for bad debts through a charge to earnings.

Cash Flows from Operations

Cash flows from continuing operating activities provided $22.9 million in 2011 compared to $53.5 million in 2010. The decrease in operating cash flow from 2010 to 2011 was primarily related to lower earnings, but also was impacted by cash payments in 2011 associated with our corporate restructuring, acquisition expenses, the make whole payment in connection with the redemption of our senior notes and decreased deferred taxes.

We used $38.9 million in 2011 compared to $43.9 million in 2010 in relation to working capital. The largest component of our working capital during 2011 was a $38.3 million increase in accounts receivable, retainage and cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings. During 2011, we experienced an increase in DSOs due primarily to increased customer payable cycles, specifically municipalities, as well as certain isolated projects which have experienced delayed payments. Our DSOs from continuing operations increased by 15 days to 114 at December 31, 2011 from 99 at December 31, 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we made improvements in our collection efforts in order to facilitate liquidity. We lowered our unbilled balances by 23.6% and our DSOs by four days compared to September 30, 2011. We expect strong collections during the first half of 2012 as a direct result of these efforts.  Additionally, we used $6.0 million for inventories, while accounts payable and accrued expenses used $2.2 million. Also, in 2011, we received $7.0 million as a return on equity from our affiliated companies.
As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had approximately $23.7$21.0 million in receivables related to certain projects in India, Hong Kong, AtlantaTexas, Georgia, India and Louisiana.Morocco that have been delayed in payment. We are in various stages of discussions, arbitration and/or litigation with the project clients regarding such receivables. Additionally, we had $4.6 million of receivables with a single customer associated with a large fabrication project at our Bayou Welding Works business and recorded within discontinued operations. These receivables have been outstanding for various periods dating back to 2009 through 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we had not reserved or written-off any of the balances related to these receivables, as management believes that these receivables are fully collectible. In each of the above instances, the customer has failed to meet its payment obligations in the timeframe set forth

in the respective contracts. The Company believes that it has performed its obligations pursuant to such contracts. The Company believes the likelihood of success in each of these cases is probable and the Company is vigorously defending its position. As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $16.0 million in receivables related to certain of these projects, which were delayed in payment. During 2013, we collected approximately $1.1 million of the receivables associated with the projects in India and $1.4 million in Hong Kong.
Management believes that these outstanding receivables are fully collectible and a significant portion of the receivables will be collected duringwithin the next twelve months.
Cash Flows from Operations
Cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations provided $88.1 million in 2013 compared to $111.0 million provided in 2012. The decrease in operating cash flow from 2013 to 2012 was primarily related to lower net income and significant improvements in working capital management in 2012. Also, in 2013, we incurred $5.8 million in acquisition-related expenses compared to $3.1 million in 2012.
Working capital provided $8.7 million of cash during 2013 compared to $31.5 million provided in 2012. The primary reasons for the positive cash flow in 2013 were our continued focus on cash management practices and progress on collecting receivable balances. During 2013, we improved our DSO by more than ten days as we continued our emphasis on cash collection processes initiated during 2012. During 2012, we improved our DSO by six days. Also we received $10.7 million and $11.0 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, as a return on equity from our affiliated companies. Excluding the change in receivables and the return on equity from affiliated companies, the other elements of working capital used $10.2 million in cash in 2013 primarily due to increased deposits and prepaids from large international projects. In 2012, improved cash management policies resulted in a $12.6 million positive inflow from accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Unrestricted cash increased to $158.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $133.7 million at December 31, 2012.

The higher capital expenditures during 20112012 were primarily to support growth, particularly withinfor our EnergyBayou Wasco Insulation, LLC (“Bayou Wasco”) and Mining segment’s coating operations in New Iberia, Louisiana and Canada. Overall, capital expenditures were lower during 2011 due to the controlled spendingBPPC joint ventures. During 2013, we sold our equity interests in our waterGerman joint venture for a total sale price of €14 million (approximately $18.3 million) and wastewater rehabilitation businesses. Capital expenditures in 2011used $143.8 million to acquire Brinderson (net of $3.8 million cash acquired). In 2013 and 2010 were partially offset by $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in proceeds received from asset disposals. In 2011 and 2010, $0.72012, $1.4 million of non-cash capital expenditures were included in accounts payable and accrued expenditures.

Capital expenditures in 2013 and 2012 were partially offset by $3.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in proceeds received from fixed asset disposals. During 2012, we used $39.4 million to acquire Fyfe Asia (net of cash acquired) and $3.0 million to acquire Fyfe LA (net of cash acquired), $0.5 million to complete the final working capital adjustments for Fyfe NA and received $1.0 million from the Hockway sellers due to a favorable working capital adjustment in connection with the acquisition agreement provisions.
During the next twelve months,2014, we currently anticipate that we will spend approximately $15.0$30.0 - $35.0 million to fund thefor capital equipment and working capital needs of our newly formed joint ventures Bayou Wasco, WCU, Corrpower, UPS-APTec and USTS.  We anticipate $25.0 - $30.0 million to be spent on capital expenditures outside of these joint ventures to support our global operations.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities from continuing operations provided $142.3$98.9 million in 2011 during 2013 compared to $5.3$0.2 million used provided in 2010. In 2011,2012. During 2013, we received $250.0 million of proceeds from ourentered into a new credit facility and borrowed $147.6 million (not including $3.8 million in ordercash aquired) to fund the purchase of Brinderson and used $5.0 million for facility financing fees. In 2013 and 2012, we used cash of $27.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively, to repurchase 1.2 million and 0.7 million shares, respectively, of our common stock through open market purchases and in connection with our equity compensation programs as discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report. Additionally, in 2013 and 2012, we used cash of $21.3 million and $25.0 million, respectively, to pay down the principal balance of our term loans as discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report. Also in 2012, we borrowed $26.0 million to fund the purchase of Fyfe NAAsia and to redeem our outstanding Senior Notes. In 2011,for working capital and joint venture investments, and we received $4.0$7.2 million asin proceeds on notes payable and $4.9 million from our salenon-controlling interest partners, primarily for their portion of 0.2 million sharesthe capital expenditures of our common stock to two members of Fyfe Group LLCnew joint ventures.
Long-Term Debt
In July 2013, in connection with closing the Fyfe NA acquisition. Additionally, we received $3.6 million, including $1.5 million of tax benefits, as proceeds from the issuance of 0.4 million shares of our common stock through stock option exercises and restricted stock distributions. We distributed $1.7 million of income to the holders of the non-controlling interests in Delta Double Jointing LLC, our specialty welding joint venture. During 2011, we used $5.0 million to repurchase 0.3 million shares of our common stock through the publicly announced re-purchase program as discussed in Note 6 contained in this report.

Long-Term Debt

On August 31, 2011,Brinderson acquisition, we entered into a new $500.0$650.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks, withbanks. Bank of America, N.A. servingserved as the administrative agentagent. Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated, JPMorgan Securities LLC and JPMorgan ChaseU.S. Bank N.A. servingNational Association acted as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers in the syndication agent.of the Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility consists of a $250.0$300.0 million five-year revolving line of credit line and a $250.0$350.0 million five-year term loan facility. Thefacility, each with a maturity date of July 1, 2018. We borrowed the entire amount of the term loan was drawnand drew $35.5 million against the revolving line of credit from the Credit Facility on August 31, 2011July 1, 2013 for the following purposes: (1) to pay the $115.8$147.6 million cash closing purchase price offor our acquisition of the North American business of Fyfe Group, LLC,Brinderson, L.P., which transaction closed on August 31, 2011;July 1, 2013; (2) to retire $52.5

$232.3 million in indebtedness outstanding under theour prior credit facility; (3) to redeem our $65.0 million, 6.54% Senior Notes, due April 2013, and pay the associated $5.7 million make-whole payment due in connection with the redemption of the Senior Notes; and (4)(3) to fund expenses associated with the Credit Facility and the Fyfe North America transaction. As partBrinderson acquisition. Additionally, we used $7.0 million of the transaction, we paid $4.1cash on hand to fund these transactions. This Credit Facility replaced our $500.0 million in arrangement and commitment fees that will be amortized over the life of the New credit facility entered into on August 31, 2011 (the “Old Credit Facility.Facility”).

Generally, interest will be charged on the principal amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility at the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.50%1.25% to 2.50%2.25% depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. We can also opt for an interest rate equal to a base rate (as defined in the credit documents) plus an applicable rate, which also is based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The applicable one month LIBOR borrowing rate (LIBOR plus our applicable rate) as of December 31, 20112013 was approximately 2.83%2.68%.

Our indebtedness at December 31, 2013 consisted of $341.3 million outstanding from the $350.0 million term loan under the Credit Facility and $35.5 million on the line of credit under the Credit Facility. Additionally, we and Wasco Coatings UK Ltd. (“Wasco Energy”) loaned Bayou Wasco $14.0 million for the purchase of capital assets in 2012 and 2013, of which $6.9 million was designated as third-party debt in the consolidated financial statements. In February 2014, we and Wasco Energy agreed to a five-year term on the funds loaned; therefore, the amounts have been reclassified to long-term debt as of December 31, 2013. In connection with the formation of BPPC, we and Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. loaned BPPC an aggregate of $8.0 million for the purchase of capital assets and for operating purposes. Additionally, during January 2012, we and Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. agreed to loan BPPC an additional $6.2 million for the purchase of capital assets increasing the total to $14.2 million. Of such amount, $4.9 million was designated as third-party debt in our consolidated financial statements. We also held $0.1 million of third party notes and bank debt at December 31, 2013.
As of December 31, 2013, we had $18.2 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility. Of such amount, $10.2 million was collateral for the benefit of certain of our insurance carriers and $8.0 million was for letters of credit or bank guarantees of performance or payment obligations of foreign subsidiaries.
In November 2011,July 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $83.0$175.0 million which that is set to expire in November 2014.July 2016. The swap notional amount of this swap mirrors the amortization of $83.0a $175.0 million portion of our original $250.0$350.0 million term loan drawn from the New Credit Facility. The swap requires us to make a monthly fixed rate payment of 0.89%0.87% calculated on the amortizing $83.0$175.0 million notional amount, and provides usthat we receive a payment based upon a variable monthly LIBOR interest rate calculated on the amortizing $83.0$175.0 million notional amount. The annualized borrowing rate of the swap at December 31, 20112013 was approximately 2.55%2.17%. The receipt of the monthly LIBOR-based payment offsets a variable monthly LIBOR-based interest cost on a corresponding $83.0$175.0 million portion of our term loan from the new credit facility.Credit Facility. This interest rate swap is used to partially hedge the interest rate risk associated with the volatility of monthly LIBOR rate movement, and is accounted for as a cash flow hedge.

On March 31, 2011, we executed a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to our prior credit agreement dated March 31, 2009 (the “Old Credit Facility”). The Old Credit Facility was unsecured and initially consisted of a $50.0 million term loan and a $65.0 million revolving line of credit, each with a maturity date of March 31, 2012. With the Second Amendment, we sought to amend the Old Credit Facility to take advantage of lower interest rates available in the debt marketplace, to obtain more favorable loan terms generally and to provide the ability to issue letters of credit with terms beyond the expiration of the original facility. The Second Amendment extended the maturity date of the Old Credit Facility from March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2014 and provided us with the ability to increase the amount of the borrowing commitment by up to $40.0 million in the aggregate compared to $25.0 million in the aggregate allowed under the old Credit Facility prior to the Second Amendment. The Old Credit Facility was replaced by the New Credit Facility on August 31, 2011.

At June 30, 2011, we borrowed $25.0 million from the line of credit under the Old Credit Facility in order to fund the purchase of CRTS, which was subsequently repaid. See Note 1 to the financial statements contained in this report for additional detail regarding this acquisition.

On August 31, 2011, we recorded $1.1 million of expense related to the write-off of unamortized arrangement and up-front commitment fees associated with the Old Credit Facility.

On September 6, 2011, we redeemed our outstanding $65.0 million, 6.54% Senior Notes, due April 2013. In connection with the redemption, we paid the holders of the Senior Notes a $5.7 million make-whole payment in addition to the $65.0 million principal payment.

Our total indebtedness at December 31, 2011 consisted of $243.8 million of the original $250.0 million term loan from the New Credit Facility and $1.5 million of third party notes and other bank debt. In connection with the formation of BPPC, we and Perma-Pipe Canada Inc., our joint venture partner, loaned the joint venture an aggregate of $8.0 million for the purchase of capital assets and for operating purposes. Of such amount, $4.1 million was included in our consolidated financial statements as third-party debt as of December 31, 2011.
As of December 31, 2011, we had $18.2 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under the New Credit Facility. Of such amount, $12.5 million was collateral for the benefit of certain of our insurance carriers and $5.7 million were letters of credit or bank guarantees of performance or payment obligations of foreign subsidiaries.

Our New Credit Facility is subject to certain financial covenants, including a consolidated financial leverage ratio and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. At December 31, 2011,2013, based upon the financial covenants, we had the capacity to borrow up to approximately $61.0$145.2 million of additional debt under our New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility also provides for events of default, including, in the event of non-payment or certain defaults under other outstanding indebtedness. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report for further discussion on our debt covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2011.2013
.
We believe that we have adequate resources and liquidity to fund future cash requirements and debt repayments with cash generated from operations, existing cash balances and additional short- and long-term borrowing capacity for the next twelve12 months. We expect cash generated from operations to improve in 20122014 due to anticipated increased profitability, improved working capital management initiatives and additional cash flows generated from businesses acquired in 2011.2011, 2012 and 2013.

Disclosure of Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We have entered into various contractual obligations and commitments in the course of our ongoing operations and financing strategies. Contractual obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that we are required to make under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. These obligations may result from both general financing activities or from commercial arrangements that are directly supported by related revenue-producing activities. Commercial commitments represent contingent obligations, which become payable only if certain pre-defined events were to occur, such as funding financial guarantees. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report for further discussion regarding our commitments and contingencies.

We have entered into several contractual joint ventures in order to develop joint bids on contracts for our installation business. In these cases, we could be required to complete the joint venture partner’s portion of the contract if the partner were unable to complete its portion. We would be liable for any amounts for which we could not complete the work and for which a third-party contractor could not be located to complete the work for the amount awarded in the contract. While we would be liable for additional costs, these costs would be offset by any related revenues due under that portion of the contract. We have not experienced any material adverse results from such arrangements. Based on these facts, we currently do not anticipate any future material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows from our contractual joint ventures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We use various structures for the financing of operating equipment, including borrowings and operating leases and sale-leaseback arrangements.leases. All debt is presented in the balance sheet. Our future commitments were $310.7$473.2 million at December 31, 2011. We also have exposure under performance guarantees by contractual joint ventures and indemnification of our surety. However, we have never experienced any material adverse effects to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows relative to these arrangements. At December 31, 2011, our maximum exposure to our joint venture partner’s proportionate share of performance guarantees was $0.7 million. All of our unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.2013. We have no other off-balance sheet financing arrangements or commitments. See Note 9 to ourthe consolidated financial statements contained in this report regarding commitments and contingencies.

Critical Accounting Policies

Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement dates. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Some accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We believe that our critical accounting policies are those described below. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report.
41


Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues and costs as construction, engineering and installation contracts progress using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, which relies on total expected contract revenues and estimated total costs. Under this method, estimated contract revenues and resulting gross profit margin are recognized based on actual costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs. We follow this method since reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to various elements of a contract can be made. Since the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, recognized revenues and gross profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Total estimated costs, and thus contract gross profit, are impacted by changes in productivity, scheduling and the unit cost of labor, subcontracts, materials and equipment. Additionally, external factors such as weather, customer needs, customer delays in providing approvals, labor availability, governmental regulation and politics also may affect the progress and estimated cost of a project’s completion and thus the timing of revenue recognition and gross profit. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. The effects of any changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the report, if material. When current estimates of total contract costs indicate that the contract will result in a loss, the projected loss is recognized in full in the period in which the loss becomes evident. Revenues from change orders, extra work and variations in the scope of work are recognized when it is probable that they will result in additional contract revenue and when the amount

47



can be reliably estimated. Given the uncertainties associated with some of our contracts, it is possible for actual costs to vary from estimates previously made. Revisions to estimates could result in the reversal of revenues and gross profit previously recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2011,2013, approximately 73.4%75% of our revenues were derived from percentage-of-completion accounting.

Revenues from Brinderson are derived mainly from multiple engineering and construction type contracts, as well as maintenance contracts, under multi-year long-term Master Service Agreements and alliance contracts. Brinderson enters into contracts with its customers that contain three principal types of pricing provisions: time and materials, cost plus fixed fee and fixed price. Although the terms of these contracts vary, most are made pursuant to cost reimbursable contracts on a time and materials basis under which revenues are recorded based on costs incurred at agreed upon contractual rates. Brinderson also performs services on a cost plus fixed fee basis under which revenues are recorded based upon costs incurred at agreed upon rates and a proportionate amount of the fixed fee or percentage stipulated in the contract.
Many of our contracts provide for termination of the contract at the convenience of the customer. If a contract is terminated prior to completion, we would typically be compensated for progress up to the time of termination and any termination costs. In addition, many contracts are subject to certain completion schedule requirements with liquidated damages in the event schedules are not met as the result of circumstances that are within our control. Losses on terminated contracts and liquidated damages have historically not been significant.

Bayou is party to certain contracts that provide for multiple value-added coating and welding services to customer pipe for use in pipelines in the energy and mining industries, which we consider to be multiple deliverables. We recognize revenue for each deliverable as a separate unit of accounting under the accounting guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (“FASB ASC 605”). Each service, or deliverable, we provide under these contracts could be performed without the other services. Additionally, each service has a readily determined selling price and qualifies as a separate unit of accounting. Performance of each of the deliverables is observable due to the nature of the services. Customer inspection typically occurs at the completion of each service before another service is performed.

Equity-Based Compensation

We record expense for equity-based compensation awards, including restricted shares of common stock, performance awards, stock options and stock units, based on the fair value recognition provisions contained in FASB ASC 718,Compensation-Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC 718”). The fair value of stock option awards is determined using an option pricing model that is based on established principles of financial economic theory. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free rate are required for valuation of stock option awards. Volatility and expected term assumptions are based on our historical experience. The risk-free rate is based on a U.S. Treasury note with a maturity similar to the option award’s expected term. The fair value of restricted stock, restricted stock unit and deferred stock unit awards is determined using our closing stock price on the award date. The shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units that arewere awarded during 2013 are subject to performance and/or service restrictions. We make forfeiture rate assumptions in connection with the valuation of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards that could be different than actual experience. Additionally, during 2013, we awarded three-year performance based stock unit awards for a number of our key employees. These awards are subject to performance and service restrictions. The awards contain financial targets for each year in the three-year performance period as well as cumulative totals. These awards have a threshold, target and maximum amount of shares that could be awarded based on our financial results for each year. The awards allow an employee to earn back a portion of the shares that were unearned in a prior year, if cumulative performance targets are met. Discussion of our application of FASB ASC 718 is described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report.

Taxation

We provide for estimated income taxes payable or refundable on current year income tax returns, as well as the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards, in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”). FASB ASC 740 also requires that a valuation allowance be recorded against any deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized in the future. The determination is based on our ability to generate future taxable income and, at times, is dependent on our ability to implement strategic tax initiatives to ensure full utilization of recorded deferred tax assets. Should we not be able to implement the necessary tax strategies, we may need to record valuation allowances for certain deferred tax assets, including those related to foreign income tax benefits. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances recorded against net deferred tax assets.
42

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, tax benefits from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. In addition, this recognition model includes a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement in accordance with FASB ASC 740. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

We recognize tax liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC 740 and we adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined. While we believe the resulting tax balances as of December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 were appropriately accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 740, the ultimate outcome of such matters could result in favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our consolidated financial statements and such adjustments could be material.

48



We have recorded income tax expense at U.S. tax rates on all profits, except for undistributed profits of non-U.S. subsidiaries of approximately $214.7$291.4 million, which are considered indefinitely reinvested. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the indefinitely reinvested profits is not feasible. A deferred tax asset is recognized only if we have definite plans to generate a U.S. tax benefit by repatriating earnings in the foreseeable future.

Goodwill

Under FASB ASC 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (“FASB ASC 350”), we assess recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Our annual assessment was last completed as of October 1, 2011.2013. An impairment charge will be recognized to the extent that the implied fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Factors that could potentially trigger an impairment review include (but are not limited to):

significant underperformance of a segment relative to expected, historical or forecasted operating results;
·  significant underperformance of a segment relative to expected, historical or projected future operating results;
significant negative industry or economic trends;
·  significant negative industry or economic trends;
significant changes in the strategy for a segment including extended slowdowns in the segment’s market;
·  significant changes in the strategy for a segment including extended slowdowns in the segment’s market;
a decrease in our market capitalization below our book value; and
·  a decrease in our market capitalization below our book value for an extended period of time; and
·  a significant change in regulations.

Our recorded goodwill by reportable segment was as follows at December 31, 20112013 (in millions):

   
Energy and Mining $77.4 $138.6
North American Sewer and Water Rehabilitation  101.8 
European Sewer and Water Rehabilitation  21.8 
Asia-Pacific Sewer and Water Rehabilitation  5.7 
North American Water and Wastewater101.6
International Water and Wastewater28.5
Commercial and Structural  43.2 65.5
Total goodwill $249.9 $334.2
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, we determined the fair value of our reporting units at the annual impairment assessment date and compared such fair value to the carrying value of those reporting units to determine if there were any indications of goodwill impairment. OurFor 2013, our reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill arewere North American SewerWater and Wastewater, European Water Rehabilitation, European Sewer and Wastewater, Asia-Pacific Water Rehabilitation, Asia-Pacific Sewer and Water Rehabilitation, UPS,Wastewater, United Pipeline Systems, Bayou, Corrpro, CRTS, HockwayBrinderson and the Commercial and Structural group. For purposes of our goodwill testing in 2013, we had nine reporting units; however, we aggregated Fyfe North America, Fyfe Asia and Fyfe NA.

Latin America, which are all part of our Commercial and Structural reporting segment, to form a single reporting unit. During our annual impairment testing in 2013, we tested goodwill for impairment for all three Fyfe reporting units individually and in the aggregate, in addition to testing the goodwill associated with the other eight reporting units. There were no indications of impairment of goodwill noted during this testing. Going forward, our annual impairment test will be performed at the Commercial and Structural reporting unit level.
Fair value of reporting units is determined using a combination of two valuation methods: a market approach and an income approach with each method given equal weight in determining the fair value assigned to each reporting unit. Absent an indication of fair value from a potential buyer or similar specific transaction, we believe the use of these two methods provides a reasonable estimate of a reporting unit’s fair value. Assumptions common to both methods are operating plans and economic projections,outlooks, which are used to projectforecast future revenues, earnings and after-tax cash flows for each reporting unit. These assumptions are applied consistently for both methods.
43

The market approach estimates fair value by first determining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples for comparable publicly-traded companies with similar characteristics of the reporting unit. The EBITDA multiples for comparable companies are based upon current enterprise value. The enterprise value is based upon current market capitalization and includes a control premium. Management believes this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate using multiples from entities with operations and economic characteristics comparable to our reporting units.

The income approach is based on projectedforecasted future (debt-free) cash flows that are discounted to present value using factors that consider timing and risk of future cash flows. Management believes this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting unit’s expected long-term operating cash flow performance. Discounted cash flow projections are based on financial forecasts developed from operating plans and economic projections,outlooks, growth rates, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins, terminal value growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in working capital requirements.
Estimates of discounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions, changes to business models, changes in our weighted average cost of capital or changes in operating performance.

SignificantThe discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows is one of the most significant assumptions utilized under the income approach. Management determines the appropriate discount rate for each of its reporting units based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) for each individual reporting unit. The WACC takes into account both the pre-tax cost of debt and cost of equity (a major component of the cost of equity is the current risk-free rate on twenty year U.S. Treasury bonds). As each reporting unit has a different risk profile based on the nature of its operations, including market-based factors, the WACC for each reporting unit may differ. Accordingly, the WACCs were adjusted, as appropriate, to account for company specific risk premiums. The discount rates used for calculating the fair values in our October 2013 goodwill review were commensurate with the risks associated with each reporting unit and ranged from 13.0% to 16.5%.
Other significant assumptions used in our October 20112013 goodwill review included: (i) five-year compounding annual revenue growth rates generally ranging from 3%2% to 15%17%; (ii) sustained or slightly increased gross margins; (iii) peer group EBITDA multiples; and (iv) terminal values for each reporting unit using a long-term growth rate of 3%1% to 3.5%; and (v) discount rates ranging from 16.5% to 18.0%. If actual results differ from estimates used in these calculations, we could incur future impairment charges.
During our assessment of our reporting units’ fair values in relation to their respective carrying values, we hadat the high end, five reporting units that had a fair value in excess of 30% of their carrying value and, at the low end, two were within 15%10% percent of their carrying value. These two reporting units were Bayou and Fyfe North America, whose fair value exceeded their carrying value by 2.8% and 5.4%, respectively. Due to a lack of project activity available in the Gulf of Mexico market, customer-driven project delays and discontinued operations, the fair value of the Bayou reporting unit decreased $32.3 million, or 17.2%, from the prior year analysis. The impairment analysis includes an annual revenue growth rate of 10%; however, only a modest increase in revenue is contemplated in year one, but at a level that is still below our five-year average, and higher growth rates thereafter due to visibility of larger bidding opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico. The analysis also assumes a weighted average cost of capital of 13.5% and a long-term growth rate of 3%. For Fyfe North America, the values derived from both the income approach and market approach decreased from the prior year analysis; however, the overall fair value of the reporting unit increased 2.7% from the prior year due to a difference in working capital levels as of the valuation dates. The assumptions used in the impairment analysis include an annual revenue growth rate of 17%, due to the low revenue levels achieved in 2013, a weighted average cost of capital of 16.0% and a long-term growth rate of 3.5%. The total value of goodwill recorded at the impairment testing date for these two reporting units was $198.0$72.9 million. Three
As with all of theseour reporting units, within 15% are Fyfe NA, Hockway and CRTS, all of which were acquired in 2011. Accordingly, it is expectedwe continuously monitor potential triggering events that their fair values would approximate their carrying values. The remaining four reporting units had a fair value in excess of 20% of their carrying value.  The total goodwill recorded at themay cause an interim impairment testing date for these reporting units was $54.0 million.valuation.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures aboutAbout Market Risk.

Risk
Market Risk

We are exposed to the effect of interest rate changes and of foreign currency and commodity price fluctuations. We currently do not use derivative contracts to manage commodity risks. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to fix exchange rates for net investments in foreign operations to hedge our foreign exchange risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The fair value of our cash and short-term investment portfolio at December 31, 20112013 approximated carrying value. Given the short-term nature of these instruments, market risk, as measured by the change in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates, would not be material.

Our objectives in managing exposure to interest rate changes are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we maintain fixed rate debt whenever favorable; however, the majority of our debt at December 31, 20112013 was variable rate debt. We partially mitigate interest rate risk through interest rate swap agreements, which are used to hedge the volatility of monthly LIBOR rate movement of our debt.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010,2013, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $245.1$380.1 million and $106.0 million, respectively.. Fair value was estimated using market rates for debt of similar risk and maturity and a discounted cash flow model. Market risk related to the potential increase in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in our debt specific borrowing rates at December 31, 20112013 would result in a $2.4$2.1 million increase in interest expense.

In November 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, for a notional amount of $83.0 million, which is set to expire in November 2014. The swap notional amount mirrors the amortization of $83.0 million of our original $250.0 million term loan from the New Credit Facility. The swap requires us to make a monthly fixed rate payment of 0.89% calculated on the amortizing $83.0 million notional amount, and provides us a payment based upon a variable monthly LIBOR interest rate calculated on the amortizing $83.0 million notional amount. The receipt of the monthly LIBOR-based payment offsets a variable monthly LIBOR-based interest cost on a corresponding $83.0 million portion of our term loan from the New Credit Facility. This interest rate swap is used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the volatility of monthly LIBOR rate movement, and is accounted for as a cash flow hedge.
44


Foreign Exchange Risk

We operate subsidiaries and are associated with licensees and affiliated companies operating solely outside of the United States and in foreign currencies. Consequently, we are inherently exposed to risks associated with the fluctuation in the value of

50



the local currencies compared to the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2011,2013, a substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents werewas denominated in foreign currencies, and a hypothetical 10.0% change in currency exchange rates could result in an approximate $4.8$8.8 million impact to our equity through accumulated other comprehensive income.

In order to help mitigate this risk, we may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We do not engage in hedging transactions for speculative investment reasons. There can be no assurance that our hedging operations will eliminate or substantially reduce risks associated with fluctuating currencies. At December 31, 2011,2013, there were no material foreign currency hedge instruments outstanding. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report for additional information and disclosures regarding our derivative financial instruments.

Commodity Risk

We have exposure to the effect of limitations on supply and changes in commodity pricing relative to a variety of raw materials that we purchase and use in our operating activities, most notably resin, iron ore, chemicals, staple fiber, fuel, metals and pipe. We manage this risk by entering into agreements with certain suppliers utilizing a request for proposal, or RFP, format and purchasing in bulk, and advantageous buying on the spot market for certain metals, when possible. We also manage this risk by continuously updating our estimation systems for bidding contracts so that we are able to price our products and services appropriately to our customers. However, we face exposure on contracts in process that have already been priced and are not subject to any cost adjustments in the contract. This exposure is potentially more significant on our longer-term projects.

We obtain a majority of our global resin requirements, one of our primary raw materials, from multiple suppliers in order to diversify our supplier base and thus reduce the risks inherent in concentrated supply streams. We have qualified a number of vendors in North America, Europe and Asia that can deliver, and are currently delivering, proprietary resins that meet our specifications.

Iron ore inventory balances are managed according to our anticipated volume of concrete weight coating projects. We obtain the majority of our iron ore from a limited number of suppliers, and pricing can be volatile. Iron ore is typically purchased near the start of each project. Concrete weight coating revenue accounts for a small percentage of our overall revenues.
The primary products and raw materials used by our Commercial and Structural segment in the manufacture of FRPfiber reinforced polymer composite systems are carbon, glass, resins, fabric and epoxy raw materials. Fabric and epoxies are the largest materials purchased, which are currently purchased through a select group of suppliers, although we believe these and the other materials are available from a number of vendors. The price of epoxy historically is affected by the price of oil. In addition, a number of factors such as worldwide demand, labor costs, energy costs, import duties and other trade restrictions may influence the price of these raw materials.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).

Under the supervision and with the participation of Company management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer), an evaluation was performed of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.2013. In performing this evaluation, management employed the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.Framework (1992).

Based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework(1992), management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.2013.

The scope of management’s evaluation did not include our recent acquisitionsacquisition of CRTS, Hockway and Fyfe NA. CRTS, Hockway and Fyfe NA areBrinderson, L.P. Brinderson, L.P. is a wholly-owned operationssubsidiary whose combined total assets and total revenues represented 4.2%12.9% and 2.7%9.9%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.2013.

Company management does not expect that its system of internal control over financial reporting and procedures will prevent all misstatements due to inherent limitations. Therefore, management’s assessment provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that misstatements will be prevented and/or detected by the established internal control and procedures over financial reporting.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20112013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Aegion Corporation,Corporation:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidatedstatements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aegion Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20112013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company'sCompany’s management is responsible for these financial statements, 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 overOver Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company'sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in Management'sManagement’s Report on Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting, management has excluded CRTS, Hockway and Fyfe NABrinderson, L.P. from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20112013 because these entities werethis entity was acquired by the Company in purchase business combinationscombination during 2011.2013. We have also excluded CRTS, Hockway and Fyfe NABrinderson, L.P. from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. CRTS, Hockway and Fyfe NA areBrinderson, L.P. is a wholly-owned operationssubsidiary whose combined total assets and total revenues represented 4.2%12.9% and 2.7%9.9%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.2013.

AEGION CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Aegion Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Aegion Corporation is a global leader in infrastructure protection and maintenance, providing proprietary technologies and services: (i) to protect against the corrosion of industrial pipelines; (ii) to rehabilitate and strengthen water, wastewater, energy and mining piping systems and buildings, bridges, tunnels and waterfront structures; and (iii) to utilize integrated professional services in engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance and turnaround services for a broad range of energy related industries. The Company’s business activities include manufacturing, distribution, maintenance, construction, installation, coating and insulation, cathodic protection, research and development and licensing. The Company’s acquisition of Brinderson, L.P. and related entities (“Brinderson”) on July 1, 2013 opens new markets for the Company through the maintenance, engineering and construction services for downstream and upstream facilities in the North American oil and gas market. The Company’s products and services are currently utilized and performed in more than 80 countries across six continents. The Company believes that the depth and breadth of its products and services platform make us a leading “one-stop” provider for the world’s infrastructure rehabilitation and protection needs.
The Company is primarily built on the premise that it is possible to use technology to extend the structural design life and maintain, if not improve, the performance of a pipe. The Company is proving that this expertise can be applied in a variety of markets to protect pipelines in oil, gas, mining, wastewater and water applications and extending this to the rehabilitation of commercial structures. Many types of infrastructure must be protected from the corrosive and abrasive materials that pass through or near them. The Company’s expertise in non-disruptive corrosion engineering and abrasion protection is now wide-ranging, opening new markets for growth. The Company has a long history of product development and intellectual property management. The Company manufactures most of the engineered solutions it creates as well as the specialized equipment required to install them. Finally, decades of experience give the Company an advantage in understanding municipal, energy, mining, industrial and commercial customers. Strong customer relationships and brand recognition allow the Company to support the expansion of existing and innovative technologies into new high growth end markets.
The Company originally incorporated in Delaware in 1980 to act as the exclusive United States licensee of the Insituform® cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) process, which Insituform’s founder invented in 1971. The Insituform® CIPP process served as the first trenchless technology for rehabilitating sewer pipelines and has enabled municipalities and private industry to avoid the extraordinary expense and extreme disruption that can result from conventional “dig-and-replace” methods. For the past 40 years, the Company has maintained its leadership position in the CIPP market from manufacturing, to technological innovations, and market share.
In order to strengthen the Company’s ability to service the emerging demands of the infrastructure protection market and to better position the Company for sustainable growth, the Company embarked on a diversification strategy in 2009 to expand its product and service portfolio and its geographical reach. Through a series of strategic initiatives and complementary acquisitions, the Company now possesses one of the broadest portfolios of cost-effective solutions for rehabilitating aging or deteriorating infrastructure and protecting new infrastructure from corrosion worldwide. Management believes the depth and breadth of its products and services within the Energy and Mining, Commercial and Structural and Water and Wastewater platforms make it a leading “one-stop” provider for the world’s infrastructure rehabilitation and protection needs.
On October 25, 2011, Insituform Technologies, LLC (formerly known as Insituform Technologies, Inc. (“Insituform”)) reorganized by creating a new holding company structure (the “Corporate Reorganization”). The new parent company, Aegion Corporation (“Aegion” or the “Company”), includes Insituform as a wholly owned direct, wholly-owned subsidiary. As part of the Corporate Reorganization, Insituform’s outstanding shares of common stock (and associated attached preferred stock rights) were automatically converted, on a share for share basis, into identical shares of Aegion common stock (and associated attached preferred stock rights).

Upon effectiveness of the Corporate Reorganization, Aegion’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, executive officers and board of directors were identical to Insituform’s in effect immediately prior to the Corporate Reorganization, and the rights, privileges and interests of Insituform’s former stockholders remainremained the same with respect to the new holding company. Additionally, as a result of the Corporate Reorganization, Aegion is deemed the successor registrant to Insituform under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shares of Aegion common stock are deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

Acquisitions/Strategic Initiatives

Initiatives/Divestitures
Energy and Mining Segment Expansion

In early 2009, the Company expanded its operations in the energy and mining sector to include pipe coating and cathodic protection services. In February 2009,On July 1, 2013, the Company acquired the businessequity interests of The Bayou Companies, LLCBrinderson, L.P., a California limited partnership, General Energy Services, a California corporation, and its related entities (“Bayou”Brinderson Constructors, Inc., a California corporation (collectively, “Brinderson”). The Company’s Bayou business provides cost-effective solutionstransaction purchase price was $150.0 million, which resulted in a cash purchase price at closing was $147.6 million after preliminary working capital adjustments and an adjustment to energy and infrastructure companies primarilyaccount for cash held in the Gulfbusiness at closing. The cash purchase price was funded by borrowings under the Company’s new $650.0 million senior secured credit facility as discussed in Note 5. Brinderson is a leading integrated service provider of Mexicomaintenance, construction, engineering and North America. Bayou’s productsturnaround activities for the upstream and downstream oil and gas markets. Primarily focused on serving large oil and gas customers in California, Brinderson’s competitive advantages include its industry-leading safety record, a strong reputation for reliability and quality and comprehensive solutions needed for upstream oil field and downstream major refinery maintenance, repairs and retrofits. These core competencies position Brinderson to meet the growing demand for non-discretionary operating and maintenance expenditures.
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan of liquidation for its Bayou Welding Works (“BWW”) business in an effort to improve the Company’s overall financial performance and align the operations with its long-term strategic initiatives. BWW provided specialty welding and fabrication services include internalfrom its facility in New Iberia, Louisiana. Financial results for BWW were part of the Company’s Energy and external pipeline coating, lining, weightingMining segment for financial reporting purposes.

2.    SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. For contractual joint ventures, the Company recognizes revenue, costs and profits on its portion of the contract using percentage-of-completion accounting. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.eliminated. Additionally, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure

of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company identified immaterial errors related to certain long term assets, primarily goodwill, that were being translated at historical foreign currency exchange rates instead of current exchange rates. The Company evaluated these errors and determined that the impact to previously issued financial statements was not material. To correct the identified foreign currency translation errors, the Company has revised prior period financial statements. As a result of this revision, total assets and stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2010 on the consolidated balance sheet were revised from the previously reported amounts of $921.8 million and $615.2 million to $933.3 million and $626.7 million, respectively. Additionally, stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2008 on the consolidated statement of equity was revised from the previously reported amount of $371.0 million to $375.2 million. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, total comprehensive income as presented on the consolidated statement of equity was revised from the previously reported $58.7 million and $36.6 million to $60.0 million and $42.7 million, respectively. 

These translation errors also resulted in an immaterial misstatement of reported depreciation expense in prior periods. In addition, the Company was incorrectly eliminating foreign currency gains or losses upon remeasurement of certain intercompany transactions rather than recording these gains or losses in earnings. To correct these errors, a cumulative after-tax adjustment of $0.2 million (pre-tax increase to depreciation expense of $2.2 million and a pre-tax increase to foreign currency gain of $2.0 million), or $0.00 per share, was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

For the Company’s international subsidiaries, the local currency is generally the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using rates in effect at the balance sheet date while revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates. The cumulative translation adjustment resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total stockholders’ equity. Net foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised of three main componentscomponents: (i) currency translation; (ii) derivatives; and (iii) gains and losses associated with the Company’s defined benefit plan in the United Kingdom. The significant majority

adjustments,
$1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to derivative transactions and $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to pension activity in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development costs of $2.2$2.6 million, $2.7$1.8 million and $2.6$2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 2009,2011, respectively, are included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Taxation

The Company provides for estimated income taxes payable or refundable on current year income tax returns as well as the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards, based upon enacted tax laws and tax rates, and in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”). FASB ASC 740 also requires that a valuation allowance be recorded against any deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized in the future. Refer to Note 8 for additional information regarding taxes on income.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company records expense for equity-based compensation awards, including restricted shares of common stock, performance awards, stock options and stock units based on the fair value recognition provisions contained in FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation(“ (“FASB ASC 718”). The Company records the expense using a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Fair value of stock option awards is determined using an option pricing model. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free rate are required for valuation of stock option awards. Volatility and expected term assumptions are based on the Company’s historical experience. The risk-free rate is based on a U.S. Treasury note with a maturity similar to the option award’s expected term. Fair value of restricted stock, restricted stock unit and deferred stock unit awards is determined using the Company’s closing stock price on the award date. The shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units that are awarded are subject to performance and/or service restrictions. The Company makes forfeiture rate assumptions in connection with the valuation of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards that could be different than actual experience. During 2012, the Company introduced three-year performance based stock unit awards for a number of its key employees. These awards are subject to performance and service restrictions. The awards contain financial targets for each year in the three-year performance period as well as cumulative totals. These awards have a threshold, target and maximum amount of shares that can be awarded based on the Company’s financial results for each year and cumulative three-year period. The awards allow an employee to earn back a portion of the shares that were unearned in a prior year, if cumulative performance targets are met. Discussion of the Company’s application of FASB ASC 718 is described in Note 7.

Revenues

Revenues include construction, engineering and installation revenues that are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in the ratio of costs incurred to estimated final costs. Revenues from change orders, extra work and variations in the scope of work are recognized when it is probable that they will result in additional contract revenue and when the amount can be reliably estimated. During 2013, the Company recorded revenue related to claims in its discontinued operations, which has been determined to be probable and reasonably estimated. The amount of this revenue is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and equipment costs. The Company expenses all pre-contract costs in the period these costs are incurred. Since the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. If material, the effects of any changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

65



When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred on a contract, a provision for the expected loss is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident. At December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had provided $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for expected losses on contracts. Revenues from change orders, extra work and variations in the scope of work are recognized when it is probable that they will result in additional contract revenue and when the amount can be reliably estimated.

Classification of Current Assets and Current Liabilities

The Company includes in current assets and current liabilities certain amounts realizable and payable under construction contracts that may extend beyond one year. The construction periods on projects undertaken by the Company generally range from less than one month to 24 months.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company classifies highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. Recorded book values are reasonable estimates of fair value for cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash consists of payments from certain customers placed in escrow in lieu of retention in case of potential issues regarding future job performance by the Company or advance customer payments and compensating balances for bank undertakings in Europe. Restricted cash is similar to retainage and is therefore classified as a current asset, consistent with the Company’s policy on retainage.

Retainage

Many of the contracts under which the Company performs work contain retainage provisions. Retainage refers to that portion of revenue earned by the Company but held for payment by the customer pending satisfactory completion of the project. Unless reserved, the Company believes that all amounts retained by customers under such provisions are fully collectible. Retainage on active contracts is classified as a current asset regardless of the term of the contract. Retainage is generally collected within one year of the completion of a contract, although collection can extend beyond one year from time to time. As of December 31, 2011, retainage receivables aged greater than 365 days approximated nine percent of the total retainage balance and collectibility was assessed as described in the allowance for doubtful accounts section below.
59

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Management makes estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable and retainage. The Company records an allowance based on specific accounts to reduce receivables, including retainage, to the amount that is expected to be collected. The specific allowances are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. After all reasonable attempts to collect the receivable or retainage have been explored, the account is written off against the allowance.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Actual cost is used to value raw materials and supplies. Standard cost, which approximates actual cost, is used to value work-in-process, finished goods and construction materials. Standard cost includes direct labor, raw materials and manufacturing overhead based on normal capacity. For certain businesses within our Energy and Mining segment, the Company uses actual costs or average costs for all classes of inventory.
Retainage
Many of the contracts under which the Company performs work contain retainage provisions. Retainage refers to that portion of revenue earned by the Company but held for payment by the customer pending satisfactory completion of the project. The Company generally invoices its customers periodically as work is completed. Under ordinary circumstances, collection from municipalities is made within 60 to 90 days of billing. In most cases, 5% to 15% of the contract value is withheld by the municipal owner pending satisfactory completion of the project. Collections from other customers are generally made within 30 to 45 days of billing. Unless reserved, the Company believes that all amounts retained by customers under such provisions are fully collectible. Retainage on active contracts is classified as a current asset regardless of the term of the contract. Retainage is generally collected within one year of the completion of a contract, although collection can extend beyond one year from time to time. As of December 31, 2013, retainage receivables aged greater than 365 days approximated 12% of the total retainage balance and collectibility was assessed as described in the allowance for doubtful accounts section below.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company records an allowance based on specific accounts to reduce receivables, including retainage, to the amount that is expected to be collected. The specific allowances are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. After all reasonable attempts to collect the receivable or retainage have been explored, the account is written off against the allowance.
Long-Lived Assets

Property, plant and equipment and other identified intangibles (primarily customer relationships, patents and acquired technologies, trademarks, licenses, contract backlog and non-compete agreements) are recorded at cost and, except for goodwill and certain trademarks, are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to the Company’s business model or changes in the Company’s capital strategy can result in the actual useful lives differing from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that the useful life of its property, plant and equipment or its identified intangible assets should be changed, the Company would depreciate or amortize the net book value in excess of the salvage value over its revised remaining useful life, thereby increasing or decreasing depreciation or amortization expense.

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and other intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such impairment tests are based on a comparison of undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. The estimate of cash flow is based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance. The Company’s estimates of undiscounted cash flow may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions, changes to its business model or changes in its operating performance. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company did not identify any long-lived assets of its continuing operations as being impaired during 2011, 20102013, 2012 or 2009.

2011.
Goodwill

Under FASB ASC 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other(“ (“FASB ASC 350”), the Company assesses recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The annual assessment was last completed as of October 1, 2011.2013. See Note 4 for additional information regarding goodwill by operating segment. Factors that could potentially trigger an interim impairment review include (but are not limited to):

significant underperformance of a reporting unit relative to expected, historical or forecasted future operating results;
·  significant underperformance of a reporting unit relative to expected, historical or projected future operating results;
significant negative industry or economic trends;
·  significant negative industry or economic trends;
significant changes in the strategy for a reporting unit including extended slowdowns in a segment’s market;
·  significant changes in the strategy for a reporting unit including extended slowdowns in a segment’s market;
a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below its book value; and
·  
a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below its book value for an extended period of time; and
·  a significant change in regulations.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, the Company determined the fair value of its reporting units at the annual impairment assessment date and compared such fair value to the carrying value of those reporting units to determine if there waswere any indicationindications of goodwill impairment. TheFor 2013, the Company’s reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill arewere North American SewerWater and Wastewater, European Water Rehabilitation, European Sewer and Wastewater, Asia-Pacific Water Rehabilitation, Asia-Pacific Sewer and Water Rehabilitation, UPS,Wastewater, United Pipeline Systems, Bayou, Corrpro, CRTS, HockwayBrinderson and the Commercial and Structural group. For purposes of its goodwill testing in 2013, the Company had nine reporting units; however, it aggregated Fyfe North America, Fyfe Asia and Fyfe NA.

Latin America, which are all part of the Commercial and Structural reporting segment, to form a single reporting unit. During the Company’s annual impairment testing in 2013, it tested goodwill for impairment for all three Fyfe reporting units individually and in the aggregate, in addition to testing the goodwill associated with the other eight reporting units. There were no indications of impairment of goodwill noted during this testing. Going forward, the Company’s annual impairment test will be performed at the Commercial and Structural reporting unit level.
Fair value of reporting units is determined using a combination of two valuation methods: a market approach and an income approach with each method given equal weight in determining the fair value assigned to each reporting unit. Absent an indication of fair value from a potential buyer or similar specific transaction, the Company believes the use of these two methods provides a reasonable estimate of a reporting unit’s fair value. Assumptions common to both methods are operating plans and economic projections,outlooks, which are used to projectforecast future revenues, earnings and after taxafter-tax cash flows for each reporting unit. These assumptions are applied consistently for both methods.
60


The market approach estimates fair value by first determining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples for comparable publicly-traded companies with similar characteristics of the reporting unit. The EBITDA

67



multiples for comparable companies isare based upon current enterprise value. The enterprise value is based upon current market capitalization and includes a control premium. Management believes this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate using multiples from entities with operations and economic characteristics comparable to the Company’s reporting units.

The income approach is based on projectedforecasted future (debt-free) cash flows that are discounted to present value using factors that consider timing and risk of future cash flows. Management believes this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting unit’s expected long-term operating cash flow performance. Discounted cash flow projections are based on financial forecasts developed from operating plans and economic projections,outlooks, growth rates, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins, terminal value growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in working capital requirements.
Estimates of discounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions, changes to business models, changes in the Company’s weighted average cost of capital or changes in operating performance. An impairment charge will be recognized
The discount rate applied to the extent thatestimated future cash flows is one of the implied fair valuemost significant assumptions utilized under the income approach. Management determines the appropriate discount rate for each of athe Company’s reporting units based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) for each individual reporting unit. The WACC takes into account both the pre-tax cost of debt and cost of equity (a major component of the cost of equity is the current risk-free rate on twenty year U.S. Treasury bonds). As each reporting unit is less thanhas a different risk profile based on the related carrying value.nature of its operations, including market-based factors, the WACC for each reporting unit may differ. Accordingly, the WACCs were adjusted, as appropriate, to account for company specific risk premiums. The discount rates used for calculating the fair values in our October 2013 goodwill review were commensurate with the risks associated with each reporting unit and ranged from 13.0% to 16.5%.

SignificantOther significant assumptions used in the Company’s October 20112013 goodwill review included: (i) five-year compounding annual revenue growth rates generally ranging from 3%2% to 15%17%; (ii) sustained or slightly increased gross margins; (iii) peer group EBITDA multiples; and (iv) terminal values for each reporting unit using a long-term growth rate of 3%1% to 3.5%; and (v) discount rates ranging from 16.5% to 18.0%. If actual results differ from estimates used in these calculations, the Companywe could incur future impairment charges.
During the Company’s assessment of its reporting units’ fair values in relation to their respective carrying values, at the Company hadhigh end, five reporting units that had a fair value in excess of 30% of their carrying value and, at the low end, two were within 15%10% percent of their carrying value. These two reporting units were Bayou and Fyfe North America, whose fair value exceeded their carrying value by 2.8% and 5.4%, respectively. Due to a lack of project activity available in the Gulf of Mexico market, customer-driven project delays and discontinued operations, the fair value of the Bayou reporting unit decreased $32.3 million, or 17.2%, from the prior year analysis. The impairment analysis includes an annual revenue growth rate of 10%; however, only a modest increase in revenue is contemplated in year one, but at a level that is still below our five-year average, and higher growth rates thereafter due to visibility of larger bidding opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico. The analysis also assumes a weighted average cost of capital of 13.5% and a long-term growth rate of 3%. For Fyfe North America, the values derived from both the income approach and market approach decreased from the prior year analysis; however, the overall fair value of the reporting unit increased 2.7% from the prior year due to a difference in working capital levels as of the valuation dates. The assumptions used in the impairment analysis include an annual revenue growth rate of 17%, due to the low revenue levels achieved in 2013, a weighted average cost of capital of 16.0% and a long-term growth rate of 3.5%. The total value of goodwill recorded at the impairment testing date for these two reporting units was $198.0$72.9 million. Three
As with all of theseits reporting units, within 15% are Fyfe NA, Hockway and CRTS, all of which were acquired in 2011. Accordingly, it is expectedthe Company continuously monitors potential triggering events that their fair values would approximate their carrying values. The remaining four reporting units had a fair value in excess of 20% of their carrying value.  The total goodwill recorded at themay cause an interim impairment testing date for these reporting units was $54.0 million.

Investments in Affiliated Companies

In June 2013, the Company sold its fifty percent (50%) interest in Insituform-Germany to Aarsleff. Insituform-Germany, a company that was jointly owned by Aegion and Aarsleff, is active in the business of no-dig pipe rehabilitation in Germany, Slovakia and Hungary. The sale price was €14 million, approximately $18.3 million. The sale resulted in a gain on the sale of approximately $11.3 million (net of $0.5 million of transaction expenses) recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations. In connection with the sale, Insituform-Germany also entered into a tube supply agreement with the Company whereby Insituform-Germany will purchase on an annual basis at least GBP 2.3 million, approximately $3.6 million, of felt cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) liners during the two-year period from June 26, 2013 to June 30, 2015.

Investments in Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates all transactions and relationships with variable interest entities (“VIE”) to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entities in accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidation (“FASB ASC 810”)Consolidation..

The Company’s overall methodology for evaluating transactions and relationships under the VIE requirements includes the following two steps:

determine whether the entity meets the criteria to qualify as a VIE; and
determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

In performing the first step, the significant factors and judgments that the Company considers in making the determination as to whether an entity is a VIE include:

the design of the entity, including the nature of its risks and the purpose for which the entity was created, to determine the variability that the entity was designed to create and distribute to its interest holders;
the nature of the Company’s involvement with the entity;
whether control of the entity may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting equity;
whether there is sufficient equity investment at risk to finance the activities of the entity; and
whether parties other than the equity holders have the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive residual returns.

If the Company identifies a VIE based on the above considerations, it then performs the second step and evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE by considering the following significant factors and judgments:

whether the entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and

69



whether the entity has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.

Based on its evaluation of the above factors and judgments, as of December 31, 2011,2013, the Company consolidated any VIEs in which it was the primary beneficiary. Also, as of December 31, 2011,2013, the Company had significant interests in certain VIEs primarily through its joint venture arrangements for which the Company was not the primary beneficiary. ThereOther than the sale of Insituform-Germany discussed in Note 1, there have been no changes in the status of the Company’s VIE or primary beneficiary designations that occurred during 2011.2013.

This standard requires an entity to present either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements.statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification.

ASU No. 2011-08, which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill & Other, affects all entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 permit an entity 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 the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is 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. Under the amendments in this update, an entity is no longer permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value from a prior year as previously permitted under ASC Topic 350. This guidance will become effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal year 2012 with early adoption permitted. We did not early adopt this guidance and the Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on the Company.

In February 2014, the Company and Wasco Energy agreed to a five-year term on the funds loaned; therefore, the amounts have been reclassified to long-term debt as of December 31, 2013. In connection with the formation of Bayou Perma-Pipe Canada, Ltd. (“BPPC”), the Company and Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. loaned BPPC an aggregate of $8.0 million for the purchase of capital assets and for operating purposes. Additionally, during January 2012, the Company and Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. agreed to loan BPPC an additional $6.2 million for the purchase of capital assets increasing the total to $14.2 million.

Additionally, the Company and Wasco Energy loaned Bayou Wasco $11.0 million for the purchase of capital assets in 2012, of which $5.5 million (representing funds loaned by Wasco Energy) was designated as third-party debt in the consolidated financial statements. In connection with the formation of BPPC, the Company and Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. loaned BPPC an aggregate of $8.0 million for the purchase of capital assets and for operating purposes. Additionally, during January 2012, the Company and Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. agreed to loan BPPC an additional $6.2 million for the purchase of capital assets increasing the total to $14.2 million. As of December 31, 2012, $4.1 million of the additional $6.2 million had been funded. As of December 31, 2012, $5.2 million of such total amount (representing funds loaned by Perma-Pipe Canada Inc.) was designated as third-party debt in the consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $380.1 million and $253.6 million, respectively.

In November 2011,July 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, for a notional amount of $83.0$175.0 million which that is set to expire in November 2014.July 2016. The swap notional amount of this swap mirrors the amortization of $83.0a $175.0 million portion of the Company’s original $250.0$350.0 million term loan drawn from the New Credit Facility. The swap requires the Company to make a monthly fixed rate payment of 0.89%0.87% calculated on the amortizing $83.0$175.0 million notional amount, and provides for the Company to receive a payment based upon a variable monthly LIBOR interest rate calculated on the amortizing $83.0$175.0 million notional amount. The annualized borrowing rate of the swap at December 31, 20112013 was approximately 2.55%2.17%. The receipt of the monthly LIBOR-based payment offsets a variable monthly LIBOR-based interest cost on a corresponding $83.0$175.0 million portion of the Company’s term loan from the New Credit Facility. This interest rate swap is used to partially hedge the interest rate risk associated with the volatility of monthly LIBOR rate movement, and iswill be accounted for as a cash flow hedge.

On March 31, 2011, the Company executed a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its prior credit agreement dated March 31, 2009 (the “Old Credit Facility”). The Old Credit Facility was unsecured and initially consisted of a $50.0 million term loan and a $65.0 million revolving line of credit, each with a maturity date of March 31, 2012. With the Second Amendment, the Company sought to amend the Old Credit Facility to take advantage of lower interest rates available in the debt marketplace, to obtain more favorable loan terms generally and to provide the ability to issue letters of credit with terms beyond the expiration of the original facility. The Second Amendment extended the maturity date of the Old Credit Facility from March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2014 and provided the Company with the ability to increase the amount of the borrowing commitment by up to $40.0 million in the aggregate, compared to $25.0 million in the aggregate allowed under the Old Credit Facility prior to the Second Amendment. The Old Credit Facility was replaced by the New Credit Facility on August 31, 2011.

In connection with the formation of Bayou Perma-Pipe Canada, Ltd. (“BPPC”), the Company and Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. loaned the joint venture an aggregate of $8.0 million for the purchase of capital assets and for operating purposes. As of December 31, 2011, $4.1 million of such amount was designated in the consolidated financial statements as third-party debt.

The Company’s total indebtedness at December 31, 2010 consisted of the $65.0 million Senior Notes, $32.5 million under the Old Credit Facility, $3.0 million of third party notes of Insituform-India and $4.2 million associated with BPPC.

For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $4.7$7.8 million has been recognized to reduce the deferred tax assets related to certain federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and other assets, for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized, due to uncertainties as to the timing and amounts of future taxable income. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2010,2012 was $5.1$6.6 million relating to the same items described above.

The Company has recorded income tax expense at U.S. tax rates on all profits, except for undistributed profits of non-U.S. subsidiaries of approximately $214.7$291.4 million, which are considered indefinitely reinvested. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the indefinitely reinvested profits is not feasible. A deferred tax asset is recognized only if we havethe Company has definite plans to generate a U.S. tax benefit by repatriating earnings in the foreseeable future.

FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”), prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 2010approximately $0.3 million, $0.6 million and 2009, approximately $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 millionrespectively, was accrued for interest, respectively.

interest.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in 2012.2014. The Company has certain tax return years subject to statutes of limitation that will expire within twelve months. Unless challenged by tax authorities, the expiration of those statutes of limitation is expected to result in the recognition of uncertain tax positions in the amount of approximately $0.1$0.3 million.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. During the second quarter of 2011, the Internal Revenue Service initiated a review of the Company’s U.S. Federal income tax return for the calendar year 2009 in conjunction with the ongoing audit of calendar year 2008. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.2009.

Litigation

The Company is involved in certain litigation incidental to the conduct of its business and affairs. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not believe that the outcome of any such litigation, individually andor in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Purchase Commitments

The Company had no material purchase commitments at December 31, 2011.2013.

Guarantees

The Company has entered into several contractual joint ventures in order to develop joint bids on contracts for its installation business. In these cases, the Company could be required to complete the joint venture partner’s portion of the contract if the partner were unable to complete its portion. The Company would be liable for any amounts for which the Company itself could not complete the work and for which a third-party contractor could not be located to complete the work for the amount awarded in the contract. While the Company would be liable for additional costs, these costs would be offset by any related revenues due under that portion of the contract. The Company has not previously experienced material adverse results from such arrangements. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s maximum exposure to its joint venture partner’s proportionate share of performance guarantees was $0.7 million. Based on these facts, while there can be no assurances, the Company currently does not anticipate any future material adverse impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company also has many contracts that require the Company to indemnify the other party against loss from claims, including claims of patent or trademark infringement.infringement or other third party claims for injuries, damages or losses. The Company also indemnifieshas agreed to indemnify its surety against losses from third-party claims of subcontractors. The Company has not previously experienced material losses under these provisions and, while there can be no assurances, currently does not anticipate any future material adverse impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company regularly reviews its exposure under all its engagements, including performance guarantees by contractual joint ventures and indemnification of its surety. As a result of the most recent review, the Company has determined that the risk of material loss is remote under these arrangements and has not recorded a liability for these risks at December 31, 20112013 on its consolidated balance sheet.

Retirement Plans

Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. employees are eligible to participate in one of the Company’s sponsored defined contribution savings plans, which are qualified plans under the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Total Company contributions to the domestic plans were $3.2$4.5 million, $3.1$3.7 million and $2.5$3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 2009,2011, respectively.
75

In addition, certainCertain foreign subsidiaries maintain various other defined contribution retirement plans. Company contributions to such plans for the years ended December 31, 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 20092011 were $1.2 million, $1.2$1.4 million and $1.3$1.2 million, respectively.

In connection with itsthe Company’s 2009 acquisition of Corrpro, the Company assumed an obligation associated with a contributory defined benefit pension plan sponsored by a subsidiary of Corrpro located in the United Kingdom. Employees of this Corrpro subsidiary no longer accrue benefits under the plan; however, Corrpro continues to be obligated to fund prior period benefits. Corrpro funds the plan in accordance with recommendations from an independent actuary and made contributions of $0.9$0.3 million and $0.8$0.6 million in 20112013 and 2010,2012, respectively. Both the pension expense and funding requirements for the years ended December 31, 20112013 and 20102012 were immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The benefit obligation and plan assets at December 31, 20112013 approximated $7.2$7.9 million and $7.6$9.6 million, respectively. The Company used a discount rate of 4.8%4.4% for the evaluation of the pension liability. The Company has recorded an asset associated with the overfunded status of this plan of approximately $0.4$1.7 million, which is included in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The benefit obligation and plan assets at December 31, 20102012 approximated $7.4$7.8 million and $6.8$9.1 million, respectively. Plan assets consist of investments in equity and debt securities as well as cash, which are primarily Level 2 investments under the fair value hierarchy of U.S. GAAP.

10.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As a matter of policy, the Company uses derivatives for risk management purposes, and does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. From time to time, the Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to fix exchange rates for net investments in foreign operations or to hedge foreign currency cash flow transactions. For cash flow hedges, gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations upon settlement of the hedge. All of the Company’s hedges that are designated as hedges for accounting purposes were highly effective; therefore, no gain or loss wasnotable amounts of hedge ineffectiveness were recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the outstanding hedged balance. DuringDuring each of the years ended December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, the Company recorded less than $0.1$0.1 million as a gain and less than $0.1 million as a loss, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations in the other income (expense) line item upon settlement of the cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2011,2013, the Company recorded a net deferred lossgain of $0.6less than $0.1 million in other current liabilities and other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a net deferred loss of $0.3 million related to the cash flow hedges in other current liabilitiesassets and other comprehensive income.income on the consolidated balance sheets and on the foreign currency translation adjustment and derivative transactions line of the consolidated statements of equity. The Company presents derivative instruments in the consolidated financial statements on a gross basis. The gross and net difference of derivative instruments are considered to be immaterial to the financial position presented in the financial statements.

The Company engages in regular inter-company trade activities with, and receives royalty payments from its wholly-owned Canadian entities, paid in Canadian Dollars, rather than the Company’s functional currency, U.S. Dollars. In order to reduce the uncertainty of the U.S. Dollar settlement amount of that anticipated future payment from the Canadian entities, the Company uses forward contracts to sell a portion of the anticipated Canadian Dollars to be received at the future date and buys U.S. Dollars.

In some instances, certain of the Company’s United Kingdom operations enters into contracts for service activities with third party customers that will pay in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, British Pound Sterling. In order to reduce the uncertainty of that future conversion of the customer’s foreign currency payment to British Pound Sterling,July 2013, the Company uses forward contracts to sell, at the time the contract is entered into,replaced its interest rate swap agreement with a portionnotional amount of the applicable currency to be received at the future date and buys British Pound Sterling. These contracts are not accounted for using hedge accounting.

$83.0 millionIn November 2011, the Company entered into with an interest rate swap agreement forwith a notional amount of $83.0$175.0 million, which swap is set to expire in November 2014.July 2016. The notional amount of this swap mirrors the amortization of a See Note 5$175.0 million portion of the Company’s $350.0 million term loan drawn from the Credit Facility. The swap requires the Company to make a monthly fixed rate payment of 0.87% calculated on the financial statements contained in this reportamortizing $175.0 million notional amount, and provides for additional detail regarding the interestCompany to receive a payment based upon a variable monthly LIBOR interest rate swap.calculated on the amortizing $175.0 million notional amount. The annualized borrowing rate of the swap at December 31, 2013 was approximately 2.17%. The receipt of the monthly LIBOR-based payment offsets a variable monthly LIBOR-based interest

cost on a corresponding $175.0 million portion of the Company’s term loan from the Credit Facility. This interest rate swap is used to partially hedge the interest rate risk associated with the volatility of monthly LIBOR rate movement, and will be accounted for as a cash flow hedge.

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements(“ (“FASB ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements for interim and annual reporting periods. The guidance establishes a three-tierthree-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1 – defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments; Level 2 – defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 – defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company determined that the instruments summarized below are derived from significant observable inputs, referred to as Level 2 inputs.

11.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan of liquidation for its BWW business in an effort to improve the Company’s overall financial performance and align the operations with its long-term strategic initiatives. BWW provided specialty welding and fabrication services from its facility in New Iberia, Louisiana. Financial results for BWW were part of the Company’s Energy and Mining segment for financial reporting purposes.
BWW ceased bidding new work and substantially completed all ongoing projects during the second quarter of 2013. As a result of the closure of BWW, Aegion recognized a pre-tax, non-cash charge of approximately $3.9 million ($2.4 million after-tax, or $0.06 per diluted share) to reflect the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company has classifiedalso recognized additional non-cash impairment charges for equipment and other assets of approximately $1.1 million on a pre-tax basis ($0.7 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.02 per diluted share), which also was recorded in the resultssecond quarter of operations of its tunneling business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Substantially all existing tunneling business activity had been completed in early 2008.2013. The Company did not have any substantial activityexpects the cash liquidation value to approximate net asset value as shown in 2011 relating to its tunneling business and does not expect any substantial activity in 2012. As of January 1, 2011, the Company reported all of the remaining associatedtable below. Net asset value is determined using recorded amounts for assets and liabilities, which are based on Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 10. The Company also incurred cash charges to exit the business of approximately $0.1 million on a pre-tax and post-tax basis, which included property, equipment and vehicle lease termination and buyout costs, employee termination benefits and retention incentives, among other ancillary shut-down expenses. Final liquidation of BWW’s assets is expected to occur by year-end 2014.
The discontinuation of BWW signified a triggering event for the Bayou reporting unit goodwill. The Company updated its discontinued operations withinanalysis of the Bayou reporting unit as of the date of discontinuation. In its North American Sewerprevious Bayou reporting unit analysis on October 1, 2012, the Company tested the Bayou reporting unit as a whole, which included the carrying value and Water Rehabilitation segment.future cash flows associated with the BWW business. In the updated analysis associated with this triggering event, the Company removed any carrying value associated with BWW (as it was tested separately) and updated its income projections to reflect the removal of BWW and the current future cash flows of the Bayou reporting unit. Additionally, the Company updated the data points associated with the market approach. In this analysis, it was determined that the Bayou reporting unit did not result in an impairment at the date of discontinuation.

The Vice President of International Water and Wastewater is responsible for the European Water and Wastewater operations as well as the Asia-Pacific Water and Wastewater operations and reports directly to the Senior Vice President - Global Water and Wastewater. In connection with this management re-organization, the Company combined its European Water and Wastewater and Asia-Pacific Water and Wastewater reportable segments into one reportable segment titled International Water and Wastewater.
