NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See the recent accounting pronouncements discussion below for information pertaining to the effects of recently adopted and other recent accounting pronouncements as updated from the discussion in the Company’s 20202021 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 24, 2021.1, 2022.

Accounting standards issued and adopted:adopted

In JanuaryMarch 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued ASU 2020-01,2020-04, Investments-Equity SecuritiesReference Rate Reform (Topic 321)848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, Investments-Equity Methodwhich helps limit the accounting impact from contract modifications, including hedging relationships, due to the transition from the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, that are completed by December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022, and Joint Ventures (Topic 323),it did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to use the one-month LIBOR until it is it is phased out on June 30, 2023 and does not expect the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference interest rates to have a significant impact to operating results, financial position or cash flows, but will continue to monitor the impact of this transition until it is completed.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)(“ASU 2020-01”) to clarify the interaction in accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and, which simplifies the accounting for certain forwardconvertible instruments, amends guidance on derivative scope exceptions for contracts in an entity's own equity, and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years, and for

8


interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted.modifies the guidance on diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculations as a result of these changes. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 20212022 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intra-period tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax, and the evaluation of a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2021 and it had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted:

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"), which improves comparability after business combinations by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that strategically fit withinwith the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into a new and attractive business area. Acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the Company makes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about the acquired assets and liabilities and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Purchase price is allocated to acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, with limited exceptions as permitted pursuant to U.S. GAAP, as determined based on estimates and assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists to assist with preparation of critical assumptions and calculations of the fair value of acquired intangible assets in connection with significant acquisitions. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired businesses, the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations, and the opportunities in new markets expected to be achieved from the expanded platform.

2022 Chubb Acquisition

On January 3, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of the Chubb fire and security business (the "Chubb Acquisition"). The Chubb fire and security business (the "Chubb business") is a globally recognized fire safety and security services provider, offering customers complete and reliable services from design and installation to monitoring and on-going maintenance and recurring services. The Chubb business is headquartered in England, and has significant operations in 17 countries including Australia, France, and the Netherlands, expanding the Company's geographic footprint to a total of 20 countries. The results of the Chubb business are reported within the Company's Safety Services segment.

The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for the stock purchase of the Chubb business was funded through a combination of cash on hand and net proceeds from the private placement of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 15 - "Related-Party Transactions"), the offering of the 4.750% Senior Notes, and the 2021 Term Loan (both defined in Note 11 - "Debt").

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred transaction costs of $24, which were expensed and included as a component of selling general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

9


The Chubb Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, with the exception of the following: (1) pre-acquisition contingencies which are recognized and measured in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies (“ASC 450”) if fair value cannot be determined; (2) deferred income tax assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized and measured in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes; (3) pensions and other post-retirement benefits other than pensions are recognized and measured in accordance with ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits; (4) contract assets and liabilities are measured and recognized in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and (5) certain lease related assets and liabilities which are measured and recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Chubb Acquisition:

Since the Chubb Acquisition occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company has not finalized its accounting for any areas of purchase price allocation related to the Chubb Acquisition. The Company anticipates it will finalize its accounting for the Chubb Acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.

The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The Company has assigned the provisional goodwill of $1,225 to its Safety Services reportable segment (see Note 6 - "Goodwill and Intangibles"). Based on U.S. income tax principles related to acquisitions of non-U.S. entities, the Company does not expect any of the provisional amount of goodwill to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

Based on internal assessments as well as discussions with the Chubb business’s management, the Company has identified the following significant intangible assets: tradenames and trademarks, customer relationships, and contractual backlog. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets:

As of the effective time of the Chubb Acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value, and these assets could include assets that are not intended to be used or sold or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. With respect to the intangible assets associated with the Chubb Acquisition, the Chubb business owns the rights to a number of trade names and trademarks. For purposes of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the fair value and weighted-average useful lives of these intangible assets have been estimated using variations of the income approach. Significant inputs used to value these intangible assets include projections of future cash flows, long-term growth rates, customer attrition rates, discount rates, royalty rates, and applicable income tax rates.

The results of operations for the Chubb business are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition.

Pro forma consolidated financial information

The following pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as if the Chubb Acquisition and related financing had occurred as of January 1, 2021, after giving effect to certain purchase accounting and financing adjustments. These amounts are based on financial information of the Chubb business and are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s operating results would have been had the Chubb Acquisition and related financing taken place on January 1, 2021.

Pro forma financial information is presented as if the operations of Chubb had been included in the consolidated results of the Company since January 1, 2021, and gives effect to transactions that are directly attributable to the Chubb Acquisition and related financing. Adjustments, net of related tax impacts, include: additional depreciation and amortization expense related to the fair value of acquired property and equipment and intangible assets as if such assets were acquired on January 1, 2021; costs related to the fair value step-up of acquired inventory; interest expense under the Company’s 2021 Term Loan and 4.750% Senior Notes (both defined in Note 11 - "Debt") as if the amounts borrowed to partially finance the purchase price were borrowed on January 1, 2021.

Total cumulative transaction costs of $
43, which were expensed and have been included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses, were reflected as if the transaction occurred as of January 1, 2021.

2021 Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, theThe Company completed the acquisitionacquisitions of Premier Fire & Security, Inc. ("Premier Fire") onin July 1, 2021, and Northern Air Corporation ("NAC") in November 2021, both included in the Safety Services segment, as well as several other individually immaterial acquisitions. Total purchase consideration for all of the completed acquisitions of $68111 consisted of cash paid at closing of $5193, net ofgross cash acquired of $47, and accrued consideration of $1318. The results of operations of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. Net revenues and operating income from material acquisitions were $9 and less than $1, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company has not finalized its accounting for the Premier Fire and NAC acquisitions. The areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized for the material 2021 acquisitions.acquisitions include the valuation of intangible assets and income tax related matters. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment, primarily related to a reclassification between intangible assets and goodwill for the NAC acquisition. The Company will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required. Based on preliminary estimates, the total amount of goodwill from the 2021 acquisitions expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $2146. See Note 6 – “Goodwill and Intangibles” for the provisional goodwill assigned to each segment.

Accrued Considerationconsideration

The Company’s acquisition purchase agreements typically include deferred payment provisions, often to sellers who become employees of the Company.Company or its subsidiaries. The provisions are made up of three general types of arrangements, contingent compensation and contingent consideration (both of which are contingent on the future performance of the acquired entity) and deferred payments related to indemnities. Contingent compensation arrangements are typically contingent on the former owner’s future employment with the Company, and the related amounts are recognized over the required employment period, which is typically three to five years. Contingent consideration arrangements are not contingent on employment and are included as part of purchase consideration at the time of the initial acquisition and are paid over a three to five year period. The liability for deferred payments is recognized at the date of acquisition based on the Company’s best estimate and is typically payable over a twelve to -twenty-four month period. Deferred payments are not contingent on any future performance or employment obligations and can be offset for working capital true-ups, and representations and warranty items.

The total contingent compensation arrangement liability was $1315 and $3912 at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The maximum payout of these arrangements upon completion of the future performance periods was $4922 and $8557, inclusive of the $1315 and $3912, accrued as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The contingent compensation liability is included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The Company primarily determines the contingent compensation liability based on forecasted cumulative earnings compared to the cumulative earnings target set forth in the arrangement. For one of the Company’s contingent compensation arrangements, the liability is determined based on the Monte Carlo Simulation method. Compensation expense associated with these arrangements is recognized ratably over the required employment period.

The contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings. For additional considerations regarding the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities, see Note 7 - "Fair Value of Financial Instruments."

The total liability for deferred payments was $1314 and $1615 at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and are included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

NOTE 5. NET REVENUES

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“(“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when or as control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers, and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred. Net revenues are primarily recognized by the Company over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress, consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition practices.progress. Net revenues recognized at a point in time primarily relate to distribution contracts and were not material for the threeshort-term time and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.materials contracts.

12


Contracts with Customerscustomers

The Company derives net revenues primarily from Safety Services, Specialty Services and Industrial Services contracts with a duration of less than one week to three years (with the majority of contracts with durations of less than six months) which are subject to multiple pricing options, including fixed price, unit price, time and material, or cost plus a markup. The Company also enters into fixed price service contracts related to monitoring, maintenance, and inspection of safety systems. The Company may utilize subcontractors in the fulfillment of its performance obligations. When doing so, the Company is considered the principal in these transactions and revenues are recognized on a gross basis.

Net revenues for fixed price agreements are generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of accounting, which measures progress based on the cost incurred relative to total expected cost in satisfying theits performance obligation. The cost-to-cost method is used as it best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer. Costs incurred include direct materials, labor and subcontract costs, and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. These contract costs are included in the results of operations under cost of revenues. Labor and subcontractor labor costs are considered to be incurred as the work is performed. Subcontractor labor isand recognized as the work is performed.

Net revenues from time and material contracts are generally recognized as the services are provided and is equal to the sum of the contract costs incurred plus an agreed upon markup. Net revenues earned from distribution contracts are recognized upon shipment or performance of the service.

11


The cost estimation process for recognizing net revenues over time under the cost-to-cost method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Management reviews estimates of total contract transaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and management’s assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts, and the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors could result in cumulative revisions to net revenues in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations for that period. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such estimated losses are determined.

The Company disaggregates its net revenues primarily by segment, service type, and country from which revenues are invoiced, as the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows are relatively consistent within each of these categories. The following table provides disclosure of disaggregated net revenues by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Prior period balances in this table have been recast to reflect current period presentation, as described in Note 2 - "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies." Disaggregated net revenues information is as follows:

The Company’s contracts with its customers generally require significant services to integrate complex activities and equipment into a single deliverable and are, therefore, generally accounted for as a single performance obligation to provide a single contracted service for the duration of the project. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as net revenues when or as the performance obligation is satisfied using the estimated stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service. The stand-alone selling price is estimated using the expected cost plus a margin approach for each performance obligation. The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606 and does not disclose unsatisfied performance obligations for service contracts as these contracts generally have an original duration of less than one year. For those in-process contracts with an original duration exceeding one year, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the performance obligations unsatisfied at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $998715. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 9075% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.

When more than one contract is entered into with a customer on or close to the same date, management evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract as well as whether those contracts should be accounted for as one,

13


or more than one, performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts.

Contracts are often modified through change orders to account for changes in the scope and price of the goods or services being provided. Although the Company evaluates each change order to determine whether such modification creates a separate performance obligation, the majority of change orders are for goods or services not distinct within the context of the original contract and, therefore, not treated as separate performance obligations but rather as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation.

Variable Considerationconsideration

Transaction prices for customer contracts may include variable consideration which comprises items such as early completion bonuses and liquidated damages provisions. Management estimates variable consideration for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods believed to best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable, in the Company’s judgment, that a significant future reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Changes in the estimates of transaction prices are recognized in net revenues on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. Such changes in estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized net revenues if the ultimate outcome differs from the Company’s previous estimate. For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, there were no significant reversals of net revenues recognized associated with the revision of transaction prices. The Company typically does not incur any returns, refunds or similar obligations after the completion of the performance obligation since any deficiencies are corrected during the course of performance.

Contract Assetsassets and Liabilitiesliabilities

The Company typically invoices customers with payment terms of net due in 30 days. It is also common for contracts in the Company’s industries to specify a general contractor is not required to submit payments to a subcontractor until it has received those funds from the owner or funding source. In most instances, the Company receives payment of invoices between 30 to 90 days offrom the date of the invoice.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from the Company’s projects when net revenues are recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress and exceedsexceed the amounts invoiced to the Company’s customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the Company’s contracts. In addition, many of the Company’s time and material arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms, resulting in contract assets being recorded as net revenues are recognized in advance of billings.

The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606 and does not adjust for a significant financing component if the time between payment and the transfer of the related good or service is expected to be one year or less. The Company’s revenue arrangements are typically accounted for under such expedient as payments are within one year of performance for the Company’s services. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, none of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component. Contract liabilities from the Company’s contracts arise when amounts invoiced to the Company’s customers exceed net revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Contract liabilities also include advance payments from the Company’s customers on certain contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as the Company recognizes net revenues from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation. Contract assets and contract liabilities are classified as current in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as all amounts are expected to be relieved within one year.

The opening and closing balances of accounts receivable, net of allowances, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 are as follows:

The Company did not recognize significant net revenues associated with the final settlement of contract value for any projects completed in prior periods. In accordance with industry practice, accounts receivable includes retentions receivable, a portion of which may not be received within one year. At September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, retentions receivable were $117120 and $122117, respectively, while the portions that may not be received within one year were $21 and $2625, respectively. There were no other significant changes due to business acquisitions or significant changes in estimates of contract progress or transaction price. There were 0 significant impairments of contract assets recognized during the period.

Costs to Obtainobtain or Fulfillfulfill a Contractcontract

The Company generally does not incur significant incremental costs related to obtaining or fulfilling a contract prior to the start of a project. The Company may incur certain fulfilment costs such as initial design or mobilization costs which are capitalized if: (i) they relate directly to the contract; (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract; and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenues generated under the contract. Such costs, which are amortized over the life of the respective project, were not material for any period presented.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company hadtranslation and purchase accounting adjustments recorded accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $193, including $83 in the Safety Services segment, $52 in the Specialty Services segment, and $58 in the Industrial Services segment.

During 2020, while the Company’s services were largely deemed essential under various governmental orders, the Company did experience negative impacts from COVID-19 on its operations including impacts from the Company’s suppliers, other vendors, and customer base. In addition to the impacts of COVID-19, the Company was also impacted by a significant decline in demand and volatility in oil prices as some of the Company’s services involve work within the energy industry. As a result of these factors and the significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization during the first quarter 2020, the Company concluded an impairment triggering event had occurred for all of its reporting units and performed impairment tests for its goodwill and recoverability tests for its long-lived assets, which primarily include finite-livedthree months ended March 31, 2022 related to a reclassification between intangible assets property and equipment and right of use lease assets. During the first quarter of 2020, based on preliminary carrying values from the October 1, 2019 acquisition of APi Group, Inc. (“APi Acquisition”), the Company determined goodwill was impaired as the preliminary carrying values of some reporting units exceeded fair values. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge to goodwill of $193(see Note 4 - "Business Combinations").

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company finalized the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets related to the APi Acquisition. The measurement period adjustments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020 resulted in a cumulative reversal to amortization expense that had been recorded earlier in the year. If the final intangible assets fair values had been known at the date of the APi Acquisition, amortization expense would have increased by $15 to $46 and by $5 to $139 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

 

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurementsfair value measurements

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities (adjusted to fair value at least quarterly) are derivative instruments, which are primarily included in other noncurrent liabilities, and contingent consideration, which is primarily included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables summarize the fair values and levels within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020:2021:

The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments designated as hedge instruments using standard pricing models and market-based assumptions for all inputs such as yield curves and quoted spot and forward exchange rates. Accordingly, the Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2.

The value of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow method. This fair value measurement is based on unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the purchase agreements (e.g., potential payment amounts, length of measurement periods, manner of calculating any amounts due) and utilizes assumptions with regard to future cash flows, probabilities of achieving such future cash flows, and a discount rate. Depending on the contractual terms of the purchase agreement, the

17


probability of achieving future cash flows or earnings generally represent the only significant unobservable inputs. The contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration obligations that use unobservable inputs (Level 3), as well as other information about the contingent consideration obligations:

Fair Value Estimatesvalue estimates

The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s non-variable interest rate debt (“4.125% Senior Notes,” and "4.750% Senior Notes," as defined in Note 1011 – “Debt”), including current portion and excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, which is estimated by discounting future cash flows at currently available rates for borrowing arrangements with similar terms and conditions, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of variable interest rate long-term debt, including current portions and excluding accrued interest, approximate their fair values because of the variable interest rates of these instruments, which generally are reset monthly.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES

From timeThe Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps, and interest rate swap agreements to time,manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and net investments in foreign operations. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. The Company records derivatives as assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. The Company enters intoevaluates hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a derivative transactionsis no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties for foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. The Company monitors its exposure to fluctuations in interestcredit risk by using credit approvals and foreign currency rates.credit limits and by selecting major global banks and financial institutions as counterparties. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties, and therefore, recording a valuation allowance against the Company's derivative balance is not considered necessary. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes, and is not party to any derivatives that require collateral to be posted prior to settlement.

Cash flow hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Cross currency swaps

The Company enters into cross currency exchange contracts utilized to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. The settlement or extension of these derivatives will result in reclassifications (from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI")) to earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The Company periodically assesses whether its currency exchange contracts are effective, and when a contract is determined to be no longer effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

During 2021, the Company entered into 2 cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $26 and $94 with maturity dates of September 2027 and 2030, respectively. The total fair value of the cross-currency hedges was an asset of $8 and $6 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company recognized income of $3 in investment income and other, net, during both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Interest Rate Swapsrate swaps

The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. Interest rate swap contracts are used by the Company to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision. The cash paid and received from the settlement of interest rate swaps is included in interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations. The Company elected a method that does not require continuous evaluation of hedge effectiveness.

At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had a 5-year $720 notional amount interest rate swap with a maturity date of October 2024 which effectively provides a fixed London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) atLIBOR of 1.62%. This interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk attributable to the Company’s forecasted variable interest payments and has a maturity date of October 2024.payments.

Variations in the liability balance are primarily driven by changes in the applicable forward yield curves related to the LIBOR. The fair value of the interest rate swapswaps designated as a hedging instrument was a liability of $22 and $35 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Cross Currency Swaps

Currency exchange contracts utilized to maintain the functional currency value of expected financial transactions denominated in foreign currencies are designated as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses related to changes in the market value of these contracts are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and reclassified to earnings in the same line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and in the same period as the recognition of the underlying hedged transaction. The Company periodically assesses whether its currency exchange contracts are effective, and when a contract is determined to be no longer effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of $120. The fair value of the cross-currency swapsinstruments was an asset of $316 and a liability of $11 as of September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Net Investment Hedgeinvestment hedges

The Company has net investments in foreign subsidiaries subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a $230 notional foreign currency swap designated as a net investment hedge for a portion of the Company’s net investments in Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Gains and losses resulting from a change in fair value of the net investment hedge are offset by gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposure and are included in AOCI in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company amended the critical terms of the foreign currency swap by extending the maturity date and modifying the U.S. dollar and Euro coupons. The amended swap was redesignated as a net investment hedge as a result of the amendment, recorded at fair value with changes recorded in AOCI, and the initial net investment hedge was dedesignated. The amended swap was redesignated as a net investment hedge and recorded at fair value with changes recorded in AOCI. The amended net investment hedge reduces the Company’s interest expense by approximately $3 annually and reduces its overall effective interest rate by approximately 24 basis points. points, and will mature in July 2029. The fair value of the amended net investment hedge was an asset of $615 and $12as of September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The present value as of the date of designation of the dedesignated swap is recorded in AOCI on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value previously recognized in AOCI related to interest rate movements of the dedesignated swap and is being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis through the third quarter 2029. The amount amortized from AOCI into interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, was less than $1. and $0, respectively. As of September 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $4 and $5 of unrealized pre-tax gains remained in AOCI.AOCI, respectively.

Fair value hedges

The Company has certain intercompany loans subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge these exposures, the Company entered into three cross currency swaps each with maturity dates of January 2027. These contracts are designated as fair value hedges with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalents of $271, $209, and $241 in GBP, EUR, and CAD, respectively. The Company measures the effectiveness of fair value hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair values are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and perfectly offset the spot-to-spot change in the underlying intercompany loans, and as such, these hedges are deemed highly effective. The excluded component of the fair values of these derivatives is reported in AOCI within shareholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The fair value of these hedges was a liability of $11 and an asset of $1 as of March 31, 2022, and are included in other noncurrent liabilities and other assets, respectively. The Company recognized income of $6 in investment income and other, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to the fair value hedges.

NOTE 10. LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception, which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to and the agreement creates enforceable rights and obligations. Under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842") a contract is or contains a lease when (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract and (ii) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company also considers whether its service arrangements include the right to control the use of an asset.

The Company leases various facilities, equipment and vehicles from unrelated parties, which are primarily classified and accounted for as operating leases. The facility leases are primarily for office space with initial terms extending up to 10 years. The equipment leases are primarily related to heavy equipment utilized in the completion of construction jobs, and the terms of the agreements range from 1 to 7 years. Vehicle leases have a minimum lease term ranging from 1 to 7 years. Some leases include one or more options to renew, generally at the Company’s sole discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 12 years or more.In addition, certain leases contain termination options, where the rights to terminate are held by either the Company, the lessor, or both parties. These options to extend or terminate a lease are included in the lease terms when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company’s leases generally do not contain any material restrictive covenants.

See the table below for information pertaining to the effects of recently acquired leases as updated from the discussion in the Company’s 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2022. There were no other material impacts to the lease disclosures contained in the Company's Form 10-K.

Note 11.12. Income Taxes

The Company’s quarterly income tax provision is measured using an estimate of its consolidated annual effective tax rate, adjusted in the current period for discrete income tax items, within the periods presented. The comparison of the Company’s income tax provision between periods may be impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by tax jurisdiction, foreign income tax rate differentials and discrete items. The Company’s effective tax rate was38.571.3% and an50.1d 42.3% for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively and 31.3% and 21.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate of 21.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 is due to nondeductible permanent items, state taxes, and taxes on foreign earnings in jurisdictions that have higher tax rates.the reversal of the Company’s indefinite reinvestment assertion.

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax assets included a valuation allowanceallowance of $4108 primarilyprimarily related to certain deferred tax assets of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and a capital loss carryforward in the U.S. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization were the past performance of the related entities, forecasts of future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. The ability or failure to achieve the forecasted taxable income in these entities could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had gross federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0, $1532 and $992, respectively.respectively. The state net operating losses have carryforward periods of five to twenty years and begin to expire in 20242027. The foreign net operating losses generally have carryback periods of three years, carryforward periods of twenty years, or are indefinite, and begin to expire in 20342036.

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded within other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the income statement.condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the total gross unrecognized tax benefits werewere $3 andand $2, respectively. The Company had accrued gross interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 of $1 and $1,

21


respectively. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized net interest expenseexpense of less than $01 for allall periods.

If all of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 were recognized, $2 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company expects $1 of unrecognized tax benefits to expire in the next twelve months due to lapses in the statute of limitations.

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, with few exceptions, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to examination prior to tax year 2014. The U.S. federal jurisdiction exam for the period ended December 31, 2017 closed in the third quarter. An adjustment for $1 was agreed to by the Company and the IRS. Because the Company was previously an S corporation, this adjustment passed through to the former shareholders of the Company and did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. There are various other audits in state and foreign jurisdictions. No adjustments have been proposed and the Company does not expect the results of the audits to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law, which included a temporary provision that allows for a 100 percent deduction for business meals expenses purchased from a restaurant between December 31, 2020 and January 1, 2023.

Note 12.13. Employee Benefit Plans

Multiemployer pension plans

Certain Company subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries in Canada, contribute amounts to multiemployer pension plans and other multiemployer benefit plans and trusts, which are recorded as a component of employee wages and salaries within costs of revenue.revenues. Contributions are generally based on fixed amounts per hour per employee for employees covered under these plans. Multiemployer plan contribution rates are determined annually and assessed on a pay-as-you-go basis based on union employee payrolls. Union payrolls cannot be determined for future periods because the number of union employees employed at a given time, and the plans in which they participate, vary depending upon the location and number of ongoing projects and the need for union resources in connection with those projects. Total consolidated contributions to multiemployer plans were $2624 and $2523 during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively and $69 and $71 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Profit sharing plans

The Company has a trustee-administered profit sharing retirement plan covering substantially all of the Company's employees in the U.S. not covered by collective bargaining agreements and also adopted a profit sharing plan for employees in Canada (collectively, “Profit Sharing Plans”). The Profit Sharing Plans provide for annual discretionary contributions in amounts based on a performance grid as determined by the Company’s directors. In connection with these plans, the Company recognizedrecognized $42 and less than $13 in expense during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively and $11 and $6 in expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2021, mostEmployee stock purchase plan

Most of the Company’s employees in the U.S and Canada, including named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the ESPP are generally made pursuant to offerings that are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP permits employees of the Company to purchase common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period, or (ii) the market value of the common stock on the purchase date, whichever is lower. Participants are subject to eligibility requirements and may not purchase more than 500 shares in any offering period or more than 10000 dollars of common stock in a year under the ESPP. During both the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company has recognizedrecognized $1 andof expense.

Post-retirement benefit plans

As part of the Chubb Acquisition, the Company assumed an unfunded post-retirement benefit plan that provides life benefits to certain eligible retirees in Canada. As of March 31, 2022, the benefit obligation was $34. The PBO discount rate was 3.0% at March 31, 2022.

Benefit payments, including amounts to be paid from corporate assets, and reflecting expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be less than $1 of expense, respectively,for 2023 through 2028, and issued 411,320 shares of the Company's common stock related to the ESPP.thereafter.

Note 14. PENSION

The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded foreign defined benefit pension plans that cover a portion the Company's employees, and the largest plans are closed to new participants. The Company assumed the pension plans as part of the Chubb Acquisition on January 3, 2022, therefore, the plans used a January 3, 2022 measurement date to determine the Company's preliminary valuation of the pension plans in the purchase price allocation.

Guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 715: Compensation – Retirement Benefits requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and postretirement benefit plans. Under this guidance, actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting standards must be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. Pension and post-retirement obligation balances and related costs reflected within the condensed consolidated balance sheets include costs directly attributable to plans dedicated to the Company.

Non-U.S. pension plan assets are typically managed by decentralized fiduciary committees. The disclosure below of asset categories is presented in aggregate 12 defined benefit plans in 7 countries; however, there is variation in asset allocation policy from country to country. Local regulations, local funding rules, and local financial and tax considerations are part of the funding and investment allocation process in each country. Each plan has its own strategic asset allocation. The asset allocations are reviewed periodically and rebalanced when necessary.

In accordance with ASU 2015-07 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) certain investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented for the total pension assets.

(4)
Represents short-term commercial paper, bonds, and other cash or cash-like investments.
(5)
Represents trust receivables and payables that are not leveled.

Derivatives in the plan are primarily used to manage risk and gain asset class exposure while still maintaining liquidity. Derivative instruments mainly consist of equity futures, interest rate futures, interest rate swaps and currency forward contracts.

The plans review assets at least quarterly to ensure they are within the targeted asset allocation ranges and, if necessary, asset balances are adjusted back within target allocations. The plans generally employ a broadly diversified investment manager structure that includes diversification by active and passive management, style, capitalization, country, sector, industry and number of investment managers.

Quoted market prices are used to value investments when available. Investments in securities traded on exchanges, including listed futures and options, are valued at the last reported sale prices on the last business day of the year or, if not available, the last reported bid prices. Fixed income securities are primarily measured using a market approach pricing methodology, where observable prices are obtained by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. Mortgages have been valued on the basis of their future principal and interest payments discounted at prevailing interest rates for similar investments. Investment contracts are valued at fair value by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations. Real estate investments are valued on a quarterly basis using discounted cash flow models which consider long-term lease estimates, future rental receipts and estimated residual values. Valuation estimates are supplemented by third-party appraisals on an annual basis.

Over-the-counter securities and government obligations are valued at the bid prices or the average of the bid and ask prices on the last business day of the year from published sources or, if not available, from other sources considered reliable, generally broker quotes. Temporary cash investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Company expects to make total contributions of approximately $33 to the global defined benefit pension plans in 2022, of which a one-time contribution of $27 was made during the first quarter of 2022. Contributions do not reflect benefits to be paid directly from corporate assets.

Benefit payments, including amounts to be paid from the plans and corporate assets, and reflecting expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows: $94 in 2022, $94 in 2023, $95 in 2024, $96 in 2025, $95 in 2026, and $502 from 2027 through 2030.

Note 15.18. Share-based compensation

The Company maintains a 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which allows for grants of share-based awards. The Company has issued Time-Based Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"), Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units with EBITDA-based performance conditions (“PSUs”), and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units with share-price targets ("MSUs"), which are all generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. Forfeitures are estimated and recorded using historical forfeiture rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company awarded new RSUs, PSUs, and MSUs, detailed below.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units

The RSUs entitle recipients to shares of the Company’s common stock and primarily vest in equal installments over a three-year service period from date of grant. The RSUs granted to the Company’s recipients vest ratably over the service period, generally on the anniversary date of their grant date.

Market-based

The MSUs entitle the recipient to shares of the Company's common stock if specified market conditions are achieved. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company approved and granted 444,926 MSUs with certain share-price targets. The MSUs will vest 100%, if at all, on the later of March 9, 2025, the third anniversary of the grant date, and the date that such performance condition is satisfied (but no later than March 9, 2027). For awards subject to a market condition, the grant-date fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for awards subject to market-based vesting conditions regardless of whether it becomes probable that these conditions will be achieved or not, and stock-based compensation expense for any such awards is not reversed if vesting does not actually occur. The Monte Carlo model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility and implied volatility of the Company's common stock, and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with the three-year vesting period. The key assumptions used in valuing these market-based awards were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate

1.85%

Dividend yield

                     —

Expected volatility

45%

Total MSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $16.31.

The Company recognized $3 and $2 of compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for the RSUs, PSUs, and MSUs in total. Total unrecognized compensation related to unvested RSUs, PSUs and MSUs as of March 31, 2022 was approximately $36, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years, 2.6 years, and 2.9 years, respectively. The Company's actual tax benefits realized from the tax deductions related to the vesting of RSUs for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.

Note 19. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Net income is allocated between the Company’s common shares and other participating securities based on their participation rights. The Series A Preferred SharesStock and Series B Preferred Stock represent participating securities. Earnings attributable to Series A Preferred SharesStock and Series B Preferred Stock are not included in earnings attributable to common shares in calculating earnings per common share (the two-class method). For periods of net loss, there is no impact from the two-class method on earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) as net loss is allocated to common shares because Series A Preferred SharesStock and Series B Preferred Stock are not contractually obligated to share the loss.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings (loss) per common share using the two-class method. The dilutive effect of outstanding Series A Preferred Shares andStock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred ShareStock dividend, and the Series B Preferred Stock Dividend is reflected in diluted EPS using the if-converted method, and warrants, options, and restricted and performance shares are reflected using the treasury stock method. For periods of net loss, basic and diluted EPS are the same, as the assumed exercise of Series A Preferred Shares,Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, restricted and performance shares, warrants and stock options are anti-dilutive (amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts):

Note 16. Segment Information20. SEgment information

The Company has combined the leadership responsibility and full accountability for two of its operating segments. As a result, beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2022, the information for the Industrial Services segment is combined with the Specialty Services segment and the Company presents financial information for the Safety Services and Specialty Services segments, which are the two primary operating segments and also the reportable segments. Refer to Note 2 - "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" for more information. The information in the tables below has been retroactively adjusted to reflect these changes in reporting segments.

The Company manages its operations under 3two operating segments which represent the Company’s threetwo reportable segments: Safety Services Specialty Services, and IndustrialSpecialty Services. This structure is generally focused on various businesses related to contracting services and maintenance of industrial and commercial facilities. All 3Both reportable segments derive their revenues from installation, inspection, maintenance, service and repair, retrofitting and upgrading, engineering and design, distribution, fabrication, and various types of other services primarily in the United States as well as Canada and Europe.approximately 20 countries.

The Safety Services segment focusingfocuses on end-to-end integrated occupancy systems (fire protection solutions, HVAC and entry systems), including design, installation, inspection and service of these integrated systems. The work performed within this segment spans across industries and facilities and includes commercial, education, healthcare, high tech, industrial and special-hazard settings.

The Specialty Services segment provides a variety of infrastructure services and specialized industrial plant services, which includes maintenance and repair of critical infrastructure such as underground electric, gas, water, sewer and telecommunications infrastructure. This segment’s services include engineering and design, fabrication, installation, maintenance service and repair, and retrofitting and upgrading.upgrading, pipeline infrastructure, access and road construction, supporting facilities, and performing ongoing integrity management and maintenance to customers within the energy industry. Customers within this segment vary from private and public utilities, communications, healthcare, education, transportation, manufacturing, industrial plants and governmental agencies throughout the United States.North America.

The Industrial Services segment provides a variety of services to the energy industry focused on transmission and distribution. This segment’s services include pipeline infrastructure, access and road construction, supporting facilities, and performing ongoing integrity management and maintenance

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 – “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.” All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Intercompany revenues and costs between entities within a reportable segment are eliminated to arrive at segment totals and eliminations between segments are separately presented. Corporate results include amounts related to corporate functions such as administrative costs, professional fees, acquisition-related transaction costs (exclusive of acquisition integration costs, which are included within the segment results of the acquired businesses), and other discrete items.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is the measure of profitability used by management to manage its segments and, accordingly, in its segment reporting. As appropriate, the Company supplements the reporting of consolidated financial information determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. The Company uses EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results for its reportable segments. Segment EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated EBITDA.

32


Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments is presented and reconciled to consolidated financial information in the following tables, including a reconciliation of consolidated operating income to EBITDA. The tables below may contain slight summation differences due to rounding:

Note 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In October 2021, APi Escrow Corp. (the “Escrow Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a private offering of $300 aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2029 ("4.750% Senior Notes"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the 4.750% Senior Notes to finance a portion of the consideration for the Chubb Acquisition and related fees and expenses.

The gross proceeds from the offering (plus an additional amount in cash sufficient to fund a Special Mandatory Redemption on the last day of the third full calendar month following the closing of the offering) were deposited into an escrow account. If and when the Chubb Acquisition occurs, the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions will terminate and the Escrow Issuer will merge with and into APi Group DE, Inc. (“APi DE”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with APi DE continuing as the surviving entity. Upon the merger, APi DE will assume all of the obligations of the Escrow Issuer, and at that time the 4.750% Senior Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries.

If escrow conditions, including the closing of the Chubb Acquisition, do not occur on or prior to October 27, 2022, the Escrow Issuer must redeem all of the 4.750% Senior Notes at a price equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued interest (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”). If the escrow conditions do occur prior to October 27, 2022, then all amounts in the escrow account will be released to fund the Chubb Acquisition and related fees and expenses.

During November 2021, the Company completed an acquisition within the Safety Services segment for a purchase price of $34, primarily made up of cash paid at closing.

Recent Developments and Certain Factors and Trends Affecting our Results of Operations

Effect of Seasonality and Cyclical Nature of BusinessAcquisitions

Our net revenues and results of operations can be subject to seasonal and other variations. These variations are influenced by weather and include impacts of customer spending patterns, bidding seasons, project schedules, holidays and timing, in particular, for large, non-recurring projects. Typically, our net revenues are lowest inOn January 3, 2022, we completed the first quarter during the winter months in North America because cold, snowy or wet conditions can cause project delays. Continued cold and wet weather can often affect second quarter productivity. Net revenues are generally higher during the summer and fall months during the third and early fourth quarter, due to increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in manyacquisition of the regions in which we operate.

However, the holiday season and inclement weather can cause delays, which can reduce net revenues and increase costs on affected projects.markets.

Beginning in 2022, we reorganized our governance structure and combined the industries we serve can be cyclical. Fluctuations in end-user demand within those industries, or in the supplyleadership responsibility and full accountability of services within those industries, can affect demand for our services.Industrial Services and Specialty Services segments into one operating segment. As a result, the information for our business may be adversely affected by industry declines or by delaysIndustrial Services segment is combined with the Specialty Services segment and we present financial information for the Safety Services and Specialty Services segments, which are our two primary operating segments and also our reportable segments.

Economic, Industry and Market Factors

We closely monitor the effects of general changes in economic and market conditions on our customers. General economic and market conditions can negatively affect demand for our customers’ products and services, which can affect their planned capital and maintenance budgets in certain end markets. Market, regulatory and industry factors could affect demand for our services, including: (i) changes to customers’ capital spending plans; (ii) mergers and acquisitions among the customers we serve; (iii) new or changing regulatory requirements or other governmental policy changes or uncertainty; (iv) economic, market or political developments; (v) changes in technology, tax and other incentives; and (vi) access to capital for customers in the industries we serve. Availability of transportation and transmission capacity and fluctuations in market prices for energy and other fuel sources can also affect demand for our services for pipeline and power generation construction services. These fluctuations, as well as the highly competitive nature of our industries, can result, and has resulted, in lower proposals and lower profit on the services we provide. In the face of increased pricing pressure on key materials, such as steel, or other market developments, we strive to maintain our profit margins through productivity improvements, cost reduction programs, pricing adjustments, and business streamlining efforts. Increased competition for skilled labor resources and higher labor costs can reduce our profitability and impact our ability to deliver timely service to our customers. While we actively monitor economic, industry and market factors that could affect our business, we cannot predict the effect that changes in such factors may have on our future consolidated results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, and we may be unable to fully mitigate, or benefit from, such changes.

Recent Developments

Acquisitions

On July 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Premier Fire & Security, Inc. within the Safety Services segment. We also completed several individually immaterial acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Total purchase consideration for all of the completed acquisitions of $68 million consisted of cash paid at closing of $51 million, net of cash acquired of $4 million, and accrued consideration of $13 million. The results of operations of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. Net revenues and operating income from material acquisitions were $9 million and less than $1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 4 – “Business Combinations” for further details.

Chubb Acquisition Overview

On July 26, 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire the Chubb Limited fire and security business (the "Chubb Business") from Carrier Global Corporation for an enterprise value of $3,100 million, which is comprised of $2,900 million cash and approximately $200 million of assumed liabilities, and other adjustments (the "Chubb Acquisition"). This amount is subject to working capital and other closing adjustments as of the date of the acquisition, which is expected to close around year-end 2021. We expect the Chubb Business will be a core asset for us, and will provide meaningful opportunities for future value creation through

providing complementary revenue growth by expanding our opportunities for cross-selling products and services across our key end markets.

COVID-19 Update

We continue to monitor short- and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Aspandemic, and as the situation has continued to evolve, the impacts on our work have also evolvedevolved. Throughout 2020 and into 2021, we encountered headwinds related to job site accessibility, project delays, workflow disruptions due to COVID-19 protocols, and diminished demand from our customers. With the domino effects of various local, state and national governmental orders, including but not limited to, reduced efficiency in performing our work while adhering to physical distancing protocols demanded by COVID-19.

Beginningprogress in the fourth quarteradministration of vaccines during 2021, the U.S. governmentwe began, implementation of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for certain federal contractors and subcontractors, subject to exception upon an approved reasonable accommodation based on disability or religion. In addition, the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (“OSHA”) has implemented, via an Emergency Temporary Standard (“ETS”), a COVID-19 mandate applicable to all private employers with 100 or more employees. Employers subject to the ETS are required, in turn, to mandate that their employees are vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to weekly testing and other safety measures. States may issue similar vaccination and\or testing mandates for state contractors; other states, in opposition to the current and anticipated federal mandates, may issue orders intended to obstruct compliance with those mandates. We may experience labor shortages or loss of work as a result of current and anticipated COVID-19-vaccine-related mandates.

Although we are actively quoting new work for customers, should the macro economy continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or worsen due to surges in cases, new variants, vaccination mandates, or additional restrictions on operations, it is possible additional projects could be delayed indefinitely or cancelled, or that we may not be allowed access to our customers’ facilities to perform inspection and service projects. In addition, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted and could continue to result in greater seasonal and cyclical volatility than would otherwise exist under normal conditions. In the event that vaccination mandates lead to a substantial increase in requests for accommodation and/or conflicts with certain state laws, we may have increased exposure to employment law and litigation risk.

Vaccination mandates or other mitigation efforts, and outbreaks in jurisdictions in which we operate or at our project or work sites, could have a material negative impact on our net revenues and earnings. If a large number of our employees who are located in a particular jurisdiction or are working on a project or work site are exposed to or infected with COVID-19 and we are unable to hire qualified personnel due to labor shortages and other impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, we may be required to delay projects or the provision of our services for a period of time. This could negatively impact our net revenues, have a material adverse impact on our operating results, and cause harm to our reputation.

Generally, in 2021, with end of shelter-in-place orders and increases in vaccination rates, we continue to experience stabilization and volume improvements as our teams and customers have adapted to working in the long-term COVID-19 environment. There can be no assurance this trend,environment and the markets in which would allow uswe operate began to recover pre-pandemic volume levels, will continue in a positive manner. We have begun to experiencerecover.

In the later half of 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022, we experienced supply chain disruptions, which arehas negatively impactingimpacted the source and supply of materials needed forto perform our business.

Additionally, the outbreak of COVID-19 onrecent variants and their related containment and mitigation efforts that have been put in place around the world, has impacted the availability of skilled labor resources, particularly in our vendors is evolving and could continueinternational businesses, interrupting our ability to make it difficult to obtain needed materials at reasonable prices.execute our jobs.

Although the majority of our businesses have largely recovered from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains significant uncertainty about the future impacts of the pandemic, or any resulting market disruption or volatility, including the potential effects on our operations. We continue to be cautiously optimistic about the markets in which we operate and the customers we serve; however, should there be a slowdown in economic activity due to surges in the number of cases, or an increase in variants of the virus that are more virulent, contagious, or against which current vaccines are less effective, it is possible that projects could be delayed or canceled or that we could experience restricted access to our customers’ facilities, preventing us from performing maintenance and service projects. The preemptive cost reduction plan,extent to which saved both expenseour business and cashresults of operations are impacted in 2020, has been generally easedfuture periods will also depend upon a number of other factors, including limitations on the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders requiring vaccination, testing, or quarantine, our customers’ demand for our services, and our ability to continue to safely and effectively operate in 2021.this environment.

Russia-Ukraine conflict

The United States Departmentmilitary conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had political, social and economic impacts that have affected our business, and which may have future business impacts that are difficult to predict and/or quantify. The most immediate impact has been on energy supply and pricing, increasing our direct costs. In addition, the conflict is and may in the future exacerbate general global inflationary pressures as the longer term interruption in production of Homeland Security’s Cybersecuritygoods in Ukraine emerges. The conflict is also reducing international political stability, which in turn may adversely impact markets in a variety of ways. For example, sanctions and Infrastructure Security Agency has warned cybercriminals will take advantage ofother penalties imposed by countries across the globe against Russia are creating substantial uncertainty created by COVID-19in the global economy. While we do not have operations in Russia or Ukraine and believe that we do not have a material direct exposure to launch cybersecurity attacks. The risks could include more frequent malicious cybersecuritycustomers, suppliers and fraudulent activities, as well as schemes which attempt to take advantage of employees’ use of various technologies to enable remote work activities. We believe the COVID-19 outbreak has incrementally increased our cyber risk profile, butvendors in those countries, we are unable to predict the extentimpact that these actions will have on the global economy or on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Should the conflict escalate beyond its current scope, including, among other potential impacts, the geographic proximity of those risks at this time. A significant disruption in our information technology systems, unauthorized accessthe conflict relative to or lossthe rest of confidential information, or legal claims resulting from violation of privacy laws could each haveEurope, where a material adverse effectportion of our business is carried out, further impacts on our business.business could emerge. The precise impacts on our business are difficult to predict but could include increased direct costs of materials and labor; increased credit or other capital costs; and impacts on demand for our services, which could include increased demand for our services related to energy production outside of the conflict area but that could also include a reduction in demand in other geographies or markets.

Effect of Seasonality and Cyclical Nature of Business

Our net revenues and results of operations can be subject to variability stemming from seasonality and industry cyclicality. Seasonal variations are primarily related to large, non-recurring projects that can be influenced by weather conditions impacting customer spending patterns, contract award seasons, and project schedules, as well as the timing of holidays. Consequently, net revenues for our businesses are typically lower during the first and second quarters due to the prevalence of unfavorable weather conditions, which can cause project delays and affect productivity.

WhileAdditionally, the industries we cannot estimateserve can be cyclical. Fluctuations in end-user demand, or in the duration or future negative financial impactsupply of the COVID-19 pandemic onservices, within those industries, can affect demand for our services. As a result, our business we are currently experiencing some negative impact, which we expect to continuemay be adversely affected by industry declines or by delays in the future.

In prior economic downturns, such as those caused by recessions, the impact on our business has generally lagged when compared to the impact on other industries. It remains uncertain if the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 will impact usnew projects. Variations or unanticipated changes in a manner similar to past economic downturns.

Description of Key Line Items

Net Revenues

Net revenues are generated from the sale of various types of contracted services, fabrication and distribution. We derive net revenues primarily from services under contractual arrangements with durations ranging from days to three years, with the majority having durations of less than six months, and which may provide the customer with pricing options that include a combination of fixed, unit, or time and material pricing. Net revenues for fixed price agreements are generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of accounting which measures progress based on the cost incurred to total expected cost in satisfying our performance obligation.

Net revenues from time and material contracts are recognized as the services are provided. Net revenues earned are based on total contract costs incurred plus an agreed upon markup. Net revenues for these cost-plus contracts are recognized over time on an input basis as labor hours are incurred, materials are utilized, and services are performed. Net revenues from wholesale or retail unit sales are recognized at a point-in-time upon shipment.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of direct labor, materials, subcontract costs and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Labor costs are considered to be incurred as the work is performed. Subcontractor labor is recognized as the work is performed.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit is influenced by direct labor, materials, and subcontract costs. Our profit margins are also influenced by raw material costs, contract mix, weather, and proper coordination with contract providers. Labor intensive contracts usually drive higher margins than those contracts that include material, subcontract, and equipment costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and associated costs for sales and marketing personnel, costs of advertising, trade shows and corporate marketing. General and administrative expense consistsexpenses consist primarily of compensation and associated costs for executive management, personnel, facility leases, administrative expenses associated with accounting, finance, legal, information systems, leadership development, human resources, and risk management and overhead associated with these functions. General and administrative expenses also include outside professional fees and other corporate expenses.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense reflects the charges incurred to amortize our finite-lived identifiable intangible assets, such as customer relationships, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives. There is a portion of amortization expense related to the backlog of intangible assets reflected in cost of revenues in the unaudited condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible AssetsNon-service pension benefit

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently as events and circumstances change. Expenses for impairment chargesNon-service pension benefit reflects the sum of the components of pension expense not related to the write-downservice cost, i.e. interest cost, expected return on assets, and amortizations of goodwill balancesprior service costs and identifiable intangible assets balances are recorded to the extent their carrying values exceed their estimated fair values. Expenses for impairment charges related to the write-down of other long-lived assets (which includes amortizable intangibles) are recorded when triggering events indicate their carrying values may exceed their estimated fair values.actuarial gains and losses.

The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by additional revenues fromcontributed by acquisitions completed induring the previous 12 months inwithin the Safety Services segment. In addition, the increase in net revenues was due to generalgrowth in inspection and service revenue, our ability to pass through inflationary increases in costs through project pricing, as well as continued market recoveries from the COVID-19 pandemic within our Safety Services segment, growth in inspection and service revenue, and increased demand and timing for specialty contracting work within our Specialty Services segment. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the Industrial Services segment.segments.

However, as COVID-19 restrictions began to ease and volumes increased, we restored manysame period of these costs in fourth quarter of 2020 and into 2021 resulting in an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues. Also driving the increase was higher levels of spending related to higher sales volumes, acquisition expenses and business process transformation projects, including system and process development costs and expenses associated with the implementation of compliance programs relatedprimarily due to the Sarbanes-Oxley Actfactors discussed above. See the discussion and reconciliation of 2002 during the third quarter of 2021. In addition, the third quarter of 2020 included an impairment charge reversal of $11 million that did not recur in the third quarter of 2021.our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures below.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was relatively flat at $14$27 million and $13$15 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increased debt volume following the Chubb Acquisition related financing.

Non-service pension benefit

The non-service pension benefit was $11 million and 2020,$0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The higher year-on-year benefit in 2022 was solely due to the acquisition of pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 14 - "Pension" to our condensed consolidated financial statements herein for additional details.

Income tax provision

The income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $11$(16) million compared to $28$(6) million in the same period of the prior year. This change was driven by lower income before taxes in the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2020.2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was 38.5%71.3%, compared to 50.1%42.3% in the same period of 2020.2021.

The following discussion breaks down the net revenues, operating income (loss) and EBITDA by operating segment for the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Safety Services

Safety Services net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 increased by $129$608 million or 31.9%130.5% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by additional net revenues contributed by acquisitions completed in the prior 12 months, and general market recoveries in both our Life Safety and HVAC service businesses as compared to the poor market conditions in the third quarter of 2020, which was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We also experienced an increase inand increased inspection and service revenue inwithin our Life Safety business.businesses.

Safety Services operating margin for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 was approximately 10.5%5.9% and (5.9)%9.7%, respectively. The improvementdecline was the result of an impairment charge of $49 million recorded in the third quarter of 2020 that did not recur,supply chain disruptions and decreased amortization expense of $19 million. The improvement wasinflation causing downward pressure on margins and increased integration expenses, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses resulting from the restoration of costs that had been reduced during the prior year as part of our COVID-19 response.service and inspection revenue. Safety Services EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 was approximately 14.1%11.5% and 4.2%13.9%, respectively. This improvement isdecline was primarily related to the non-recurrence of the impairment charge recorded during the prior year and higher volume as describedfactors discussed above.

Specialty Services

Specialty Services net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 increased by $36$68 million or 9.0% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher demand and timing for specialty contracting services during the third quarter of 2021, resulting from general improvements in market conditions compared to the prior year, which was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes in fabrication, infrastructure, and certain utility businesses.

Specialty Services operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately 7.1% and 26.3%, respectively. The decrease was due to the non-recurrence of a $68 million favorable adjustment that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to reverse part of an impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was partially offset by increased amortization expense of $6 million and supply chain disruptions and inflation causing downward pressure on margins. Our Specialty Services EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately 12.8% and 31.5%, respectively, due to the factors discussed above and a decrease in income from joint venture investments of $4 million.

Industrial Services

Industrial Services net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $55 million or (34.8)% compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline was the result of the suppression of demand for our services due to decisions by our customers to delay and suspend projects, strategic focus on improving margin resulting from disciplined project and customer selection, and difficult market conditions. In addition, the sale of two Industrial Services businesses accounted for $5 million of the decline.

Industrial Services operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately 0% and 10.8%, respectively. The decline was the result of lower volume of projects while certain indirect costs for leases and equipment did not decline as significantly, and an increase in amortization expense of $13 million, partially offset by a $8 million impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2020 that did not recur. Industrial Services EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues was 8.7% and 8.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, driven by the impacts of lower volumes and factors described above.

Net revenues

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $2,828 million compared to $2,705 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $123 million or 4.5%. The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by growth in inspection and services revenue in our Life Safety business and additional revenue contributed by acquisitions completed in the previous 12 months within our Safety Services segment. Also driving the increase was greater demand for specialty contracting work within our Specialty Services segment. Both our Safety Services and Specialty Services segments benefited from general market recoveries from the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These improvements were partially offset by a decline in our Industrial Services segment, which continued to experience difficult market conditions and suppressed demand during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Gross profit

Gross margin was 23.5%, an increase of 290 basis points compared to prior year primarily due to a $46 million decrease in backlog amortization expense, which positively impacted the rate by 160 basis points. In addition, outsized growth in the Safety Services segment, improved mix of service and inspection, and disciplined project and customer selection drove higher gross margins. These increases were partially offset by supply chain disruptions and inflation causing downward pressure on margins, project delays, jobsite conditions and suppression of demand in the energy industry.

Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $579 million, compared to $703 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $124 million. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 20.5% for 2021 compared to 26.0% for 2020, improving primarily due to the $197 million impairment charge related to goodwill and intangible assets recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that did not recur in 2021. This decline was offset by an increase of 15.6% in selling, general, and administrative expenses (excluding amortization) due to higher spending related to acquisition expenses, business process transformation projects to enhance systems and implement compliance programs related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the preemptive cost reduction plan we implemented in the second quarter of 2020 to reduce expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As COVID-19 restrictions began to ease, we restored many of these costs in the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $43 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 which is slightly higher than $41 million for the same period of the prior year.

Investment income and other, net

Investment income and other, net was income of $12 million and $20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decline in investment income and other, net was primarily due to a decrease in income from joint venture investments of $9 million.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

During the second quarter of 2021 we completed a private offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The proceeds from the offering were used to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the 2020 Term Loan, prepay a portion of the 2019 Term Loan, pay for transaction fees and expenses, and fund general corporate purposes. In connection with the repayment of the 2020 Term Loan and prepayment on a portion of the 2019 Term Loan, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $9 million related to unamortized debt issuance costs.

Income tax provision (benefit)

The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $14 million compared to a benefit of $35 million in the same period of the prior year. This change was driven by the fact that we had net income for the first nine months of 2021, whereas we were in a loss position in the same period of 2020 due to an impairment charge recorded in 2020. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 31.3% compared to 21.2% in the same period of 2020. The difference in the effective tax rate was driven by discrete and nondeductible permanent items, which have a greater impact on the effective tax rate when income or losses are smaller. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% is due to the nondeductible permanent items, state taxes and foreign earnings in jurisdictions that have higher tax rates.

Our net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $32 million compared to $(131) million for the same period in 2020, an improvement of $163 million. Net income (loss) as a percentage of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 1.1% compared to (4.8)% for the same period in 2020. The change was principally from an impairment charge that occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to goodwill of $197 million that did not recur in 2021, and improved gross margin. EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 8.6% compared to 2.6% for the same period in 2020. Improvements in EBITDA were primarily a result of the non-recurrence of the impairment charge of $197 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and improved gross margin.

The decline was the result of a suppression of demand for our services, our strategic focus on improving margin resulting from disciplined project and customer selection, and a general market weakness in the energy industry. Also impacting the decline was the sale of two Industrial Services businesses that accounted for $83 million of net revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.factors discussed above.

Industrial Services operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately (11.7)% and (7.9)%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from the operating activities of our consolidated subsidiaries, available cash and cash equivalents, and our access to our Revolving Credit Facility.Facility and the proceeds from debt offerings. We believe these sources will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months. Although we believe we have sufficient resources to fund our future cash requirements, there are many factors with the potential to influence our cash flow position including weather, seasonality, commodity prices, market conditions, and prolonged impacts of COVID-19, over which we have no control.

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had $1,354$713 million of total liquidity, comprising $1,128$315 million in cash and cash equivalents and $226$398 million ($300500 million less outstanding letters of credit of approximately $74$102 million, which reduce availability) of available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we received approximately $230 million of cash proceeds from the exercise of approximately 60 million outstanding warrants, resulting in the issuance of approximately 20 millionissued and sold 800,000 shares of common stock,Series B Preferred Stock (defined below) for an aggregate purchase price of $800 million, and $446 million in cash proceeds from the issuanceentered into an amendment to our credit agreement. As part of approximately 23 million shares of common stock.

During the second quarter of 2021, we completed a private offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “4.125% Senior Notes”). The 4.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by us and certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds from the sale of the 4.125% Senior Notes were used to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the term loan incurred on October 22, 2020 (the “2020 Term Loan”), prepay a portion of the term loan incurred on October 1, 2019 (the “2019 Term Loan”), pay for transaction fees and expenses, and fund general corporate purposes.

We expect to continue to be able to access the capital markets through equity and debt offerings for liquidity purposes as needed. Our principal liquidity requirements have been, and we expect will be, any accrued consideration due to selling shareholders, including tax payments in connection therewith, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and debt service, as well as to identify, execute and integrate strategic acquisitions and business transformation. We expect to fund the acquisition of the Chubb fire and security business, anticipated to close around year-end 2021, through a combination of cash on hand, perpetual preferred equity financing, the issuance of the 4.750% Senior Notes as described below, and other debt financing.

In December 2020,March 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a sharestock repurchase program, authorizing the purchase of up to an aggregate of $100$250 million of shares of common stock. There were no stock repurchases duringthrough February 2024. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, we repurchased 531,431 shares of common stock for approximately $11 million under the sharethis stock repurchase program, andleaving approximately $70$239 million of repurchases remained authorized.authorized repurchases.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $68$(118) million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to $329$32 million for the same period in 2020.2021. Cash flowflows from operations is primarily driven by changes in the mix and timing of demand for our services and working capital needs associated with the various services we provide. Working capital is primarily affected by changes in total accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and contract assets and contract liabilities, all of which tend to be related and are affected by changes in the timing and volume of work performed. During 2020, the declinethree months ended March 31, 2022, operating cash flows were impacted by inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions leading to an increase in volumethe required level of business dueworking capital investment needed to ensure we have materials available to meet our growth in sales volumes, as well as higher levels of spending related to acquisition costs. Further, the increase in the cost of our debt related to new debt issuances that occurred during the later half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 and a one-time contribution to assumed pension plans of $27 million were also factors in our increased use of cash for operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the COVID-19 pandemic drove a significant decreasesame period in our working capital, which generated substantial operating cash flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we experienced recovery from the impacts of COVID-19 and the volume of business has expanded, driving higher working capital requirements, specifically higher accounts receivable and contract assets, and leading to lower operating cash flows.prior year.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $81$2,884 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to $17$23 million for the same period in 2020.2021. During the prior year, our acquisition activity was reduced due to uncertainties around the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition to being a publicly traded company and other corporate priorities. Comparatively, during the current year, we completed the Chubb Acquisition within our strategicSafety Services segment, consistent with our focus on accretive acquisitions, has resulted in increased acquisition activity, primarily within the Safety Services segment, resulting in the use of $51$2,875 million for acquisitions during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to $6$7 million for the same period in 2020. Our capital expenditures were approximately $43 million and $24 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in capital spending is due to the reduction in capital expenditures that occurred in 2020 as a result of COVID-19, and as we return to a more normalized level of spending, capital spending has increased in the current period, and is expected to be less than 2% of net revenues annually.2021.

The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $1,101 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Term Loan and other debt, and $797 million of proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock, partially offset by payments of $30 million on long-term debt and $11 million of share repurchases. In the prior year, the cash provided was due to $230 million of proceeds from the issuance of common sharesstock in connection with the warrant exercises which occurred during the first quarter of 2021, $446 million of net proceeds from the common stock issuance, which occurred during the third quarter of 2021, and net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $30 million, which were partially offset by $72 million of payments made on acquisition-related consideration.2021.

Financing Activities

During the second quarter of 2021, we completed a private offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes, issued under an indenture, dated June 22, 2021 (the “Indenture”). The 4.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by us and certain existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2021, we have a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for: (1) a term loan facility, pursuant to which we incurred the $1,200 million 2019 Term Loan used to fund a part of the cash portion of the purchase price in the APi Acquisition, and (2) a $300 million five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) of which up to $150 million can be used for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2021, we had $1,140 million of indebtedness outstanding onsame mandatory prepayment provisions as the 2019 Term Loan and had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, under which $226 million was available after giving effect to $74 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduce availability.Loan.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Riskrate risk

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, our variable interest rate debt was primarily related to our $1,200 million 2019 Term Loan, our $1,100 million 2021 Term Loan, and the $300our $500 million Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, excluding letters of credit outstanding of $74$102 million, we had no amounts of outstanding revolving loans, and $1,140$1,127 million outstanding on the 2019 Term Loan, and $1,085 outstanding on the 2021 Term Loan. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had a 5-year interest rate swap with respect to $720 million of notional value of the 2019 Term Loan, exchanging one-month LIBOR for a fixed rate of 1.62% per annum. Accordingly, our fixed interest rate per annum on the swapped $720 million notional value of the 2019 Term Loan is 4.12% through its maturity. The remaining $420$407 million of our 2019 Term Loan balance is bearing interest at 2.58%2.71% per annum based on one-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. The 2021 Term Loan balance is bearing interest at 2.96% per annum based on one-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points, but the rate will fluctuate as LIBOR fluctuates.

Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, we amended and redesignated ourentered into a euro-denominated net investment hedge with a notional value of $230 million. The net investment hedge reduces our interest expense by approximately $3 million annually and reduces our overall effective interest rate by approximately 24 basis points. A 100-basis point increase in the applicable interest rates under our credit facilities (including the unhedged portion of our 2019 Term Loan debt) would have increased our interest expense by approximately $5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

While we cannot predict our ability to refinance existing debt or the impact interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, we continue to evaluate our financial position on an ongoing basis. In addition, there is currently uncertainty about whether LIBOR will continue to exist after 2021. The ICE Benchmark Administration intends to cease the publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR as follows: thefor all tenors (excluding 1 week and 2 month tenors on December 31, 2021 and all other tenorsmonth) on June 30, 2023. The discontinuation of the 1 month LIBOR after 20212023 and the replacement with an alternative reference rate, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate may adversely impact interest rates and our interest expense could increase.

Foreign Currency Riskcurrency risk

Our foreign operations are primarily in Canada and Europe.approximately 20 countries globally. Revenues generated from foreign operations represented approximately 10%40% of our consolidated net revenues for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Net revenues and expenses related to our foreign operations are, for the most part, denominated in the functional currency of the foreign operation, which minimizes the impact fluctuations in exchange rates would have on net income or loss. We are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies. Such transactions were not material to our operations during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Translation gains or losses, which are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, result from translation of the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. Foreign currency translation losses (gains) totaled approximately $(9)$(59) million and $1($4) million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $(9) million and $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates has increased as a result of the SKGChubb Acquisition and willmay continue to increase in the future if we continue to expand our operations outside of the United States.U.S. We seek to manage foreign currency exposure by minimizing our consolidated net asset and liability positions in currencies other than the functional currency.currency of our foreign subsidiaries. Our foreign currency exposure was not significant to our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. We use foreign currency contracts as a way to mitigate foreign currency exposure from time to time.

In order to manage foreign currency risk related to the Chubb business intercompany financing structure, we entered into cross-currency swaps to manage the foreign currency risk of certain intercompany loans.

Other Market Riskmarket risk

We are also exposed to market risks impacting our customer base due to the potential related impact on accounts receivable or contract assets on uncompleted contracts. The amounts recorded may be at risk if our customers’ ability to pay these obligations is negatively impacted by economic conditions. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and maintain ongoing discussions with customers regarding contract status with respect to change orders and billing terms. Therefore, management believes it takes appropriate action to manage market and other risks, but there is no assurance management will be able to reasonably identify all risks with respect to the collectability of these assets. See also “Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers” under the Critical Accounting Policies section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

49


In addition, we are exposed to various supply chain risks, including market risk of price fluctuations or availability of copper, steel, cable optic fiber and other materials used as components of supplies or materials utilized in our operations. We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to gasoline prices for our vehicle fleet. Disruptions in our supply chain can occur due to market inefficiencies but can also be driven by other events, like cybersecurity breaches, pandemics or similar disruptive

46


events. While we believe we can increase our contract prices to adjust for some price increases in commodities, there can be no assurance that such price increases, if they were to occur, would be recoverable. Additionally, some of our fixed price contracts do not allow us to adjust prices and, as a result, increases in material costs could reduce profitability with respect to projects in progress.

Significant declines in market prices for oil and gas and other fuel sources may also impact our operations. Prolonged periods of low oil and gas prices may result in projects being delayed or cancelled and in a low oil and gas price environment, certain of our businesses could become less profitable or incur losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.disclosure. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annualquarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 due to the material weaknessweaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, which waswere previously disclosed in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a‑15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 based on the guidelines established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2022 due to the material weaknesses described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility a material misstatement of annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As indicated above,We have identified control deficiencies as of March 31, 2022 related to an ineffective control environment, ineffective risk assessment, and ineffective information and communication resulting from an insufficient number of trained resources with expertise in implementation and operation of internal control over financial reporting and information technology systems. As a result, the Company had ineffective control activities related to the design and operation of process-level controls and general information technology controls across all financial reporting processes. These control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting have been identified which constituteas of March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are executing our remediation plans to remediate the material weaknesses relating to inadequate design and implementation of:

information technology general controls that prevent the information systems from providing complete and accurate information consistent with financial reporting objectives and current needs;
our internal controls over the preparation of the financial statements, including the insufficient review and oversightcontrol over financial reporting, journal entriesas described below. These plans include a detailed risk and related file documentation;
controls assessment, key process walkthroughs and flowchart documentation, training, and execution of determined key controls. There were no material changes to our internal controlscontrol over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to identify and manage segregation of certain accounting duties;

Management’s Remediation Plans

Management has undertaken various steps to begincontinue remediating such control deficiencies.deficiencies and has seen improved results versus December 31, 2021. Given an effort of this magnitude, management believes that full remediation will most likely continue to extend over the next couple of years. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management designs and implements effective controls that operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded through testing that these controls are effective. We will monitorare monitoring the effectiveness of our remediation plans and will make the changes management determines to be appropriate. Steps taken by managementus during the three months ended March 31, 2022 include the following:

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting51

We are executing our plan to remediate the material weaknesses relating to our internal control over financial reporting, as described above. This plan includes a detailed risk and controls assessment, key process walkthroughs, and flowchart documentation, training, and execution and validation of determined key controls. Except as otherwise described herein, there were no material changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.


Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

The termination of Acquisitions pursuant to the Purchase Agreement could negatively impact our business.

If the Acquisition is not completed for any reason, our ongoing businessSRP may be adversely affectedmade from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, and/or other derivative transactions, at our discretion, as permitted by securities laws and without realizing any of the expected benefits of having completed the Acquisition, we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on our stock price;
we may experience negative reactions from our customers, suppliers, distributors and employees;
we will be required to pay our costs relating to the Acquisition, such as financial advisory,other legal financing and accounting costs and associated fees and expenses, whether or not the Acquisition is completed;
we could be subject to time-consuming and costly litigation related to the Acquisition; and
matters relating to the Acquisition (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which could otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations or to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to our business.

In connection with the Acquisition, andSRP, we could incur substantial expenses relatedmay enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans which would generally permit us to repurchase shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under the integrationsecurities laws. The SRP will expire on February 29, 2024 unless otherwise modified or earlier terminated by our Board of Chubb.

We have incurred and expect to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the integration of Chubb into our business, as well as transaction fees and other costs related to the Acquisition. These costs and expenses include fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors, facilities and systems consolidation costs, severance and other potential employment-related costs, including severance payments that may be made to certain Chubb employees, filing fees, printing expenses and other related charges. We will need to pay some of these costs regardless of whether the Acquisition is completed.

The Chubb business, we andDirectors at any other relevant person is exposed to riskstime in connection with the funding of Chubb's pension commitments.

The Chubb business operates two defined benefit pension plans in the United Kingdom, which plans are closed to new members and future benefit accrual, as well as plans in Ireland and Australia. These plans are financed predominantly through externally invested pension plan assets via externally managed funds and insurance companies, which investments are subject to market, interest rate and inflation risks. If these investments do not perform well or are not managed properly and their values decline significantly, it could result in a substantial coverage shortfall for these pension obligations and therefore significantly increase the net pension obligations of the Chubb business, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

The Pensions Regulator in the United Kingdom has the statutory power to require additional funding or other financial support to be put in place for either Chubb defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom which, if exercised, could result in significant liabilities arising for the Chubb business and/or us. In addition, the Pensions Regulator in the United Kingdom has recently been given additional statutory powers which could result in the imposition of criminal sanctions on the Chubb business and/or us or any other person in relation to either Chubb defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom. The UK Pensions Regulator would need to satisfy a number of statutory tests in order to exercise its powers successfully.
