1. BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of the Business

Integrated Electrical Services,IES Holdings, Inc. is a holding company that owns and manages operating subsidiaries in business activities across a variety of end markets. Our operations are currently organized into four principal business segments, based upon the nature of our current products and services:

 

  Communications – Nationwide provider of technology infrastructure products and services to large corporations and independent businesses.

 

  Residential – Regional provider of electrical installation services for single-family housing and multi-family apartment complexes.

 

  Commercial & Industrial – Provider of electrical and mechanical design, construction, and maintenance services to the commercial and industrial markets in various regional markets and nationwide in certain areas of expertise, such as the power infrastructure market.

 

  Infrastructure Solutions – Provider of electrical and mechanicalelectro-mechanical solutions to domestic and international customers.for industrial operations.

The words “IES”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to Integrated Electrical Services,IES Holdings, Inc. and, except as otherwise specified herein, to our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

Results of operations from our Residential construction segment are seasonal, depending on weather trends, with typically higher revenues generated during spring and summer and lower revenues generated during fall and winter, with an impact from precipitation in the warmer months. The Communications, Commercial & Industrial, and Infrastructure Solutions segments of our business are less subject to seasonal trends, as work in these segments generally is performed inside structures protected from the weather, although weather can still impact these businesses, especially in the early stages of projects. Our service and maintenance business is generally not affected by seasonality. Our volume of business may be adversely affected by declines in construction projects resulting from adverse regional or national economic conditions. In particular, a prolonged period of low oil prices and subsequent slowdown in the economy could have a negative impact on demand for housing in regions such as Texas, which is a key market for us. Quarterly results may also be materially affected by the timing of new construction projects. Results for our Infrastructure Solutions segment may be affected by the timing of outages at our customers’ facilities. Accordingly, operating results for any fiscal period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any subsequent fiscal period.

Basis of Financial Statement Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IES and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to interim financial reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.2016. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods reported herein. Any such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Noncontrolling Interest

In conjunction with our purchase of STR Mechanical, LLC (“STR”) during the third quarter of fiscal 2016, we acquired a controlling interest of 80 percent of the membership interests of STR. The remaining 20 percent interest, which was retained by the third party sellers, is identified in our financials as noncontrolling interest and is classified outside of permanent equity on our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 13 – Business Combinations for further discussion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily used in our revenue recognition of construction in progress, fair value assumptions in accounting for business combinations and analyzing goodwill, investments, intangible assets and long-lived asset impairments and adjustments, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based compensation, reserves for legal matters, assumptions regarding estimated costs to exit certain segments, realizability of deferred tax assets, unrecognized tax benefits and self-insured claims liabilities and related reserves.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsStandards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued ASUNo. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASU 2014-09”), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede previous existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard creates a five-step model for revenue recognition that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering contract terms and relevant facts and circumstances. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding revenue recognition. The effective date will be the first quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption.adoption, and we currently plan to use the modified retrospective basis on the adoption date. We are currently evaluatingcontinuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements. In particular, we continue to analyze areas including contract termination provisions and accounting for change orders. However, we expect that we will continue to recognize revenues for most of our fixed-price contracts over time, as services are performed. We have not yet selected a transition method or determinedare also continuing to assess the effect ASU 2014-09 will have on our ongoing financial reporting.

In April 2015,necessary changes in processes and controls to meet the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation Of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires that debt issuance costs be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amountdisclosure requirements of the related debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2015-15) which allows an entity to present the cost of securing a revolving line of credit as an asset, regardless of whether a balance is outstanding. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”), which eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment, including the effect on earnings of any amounts it would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which clarifies that in a classified statement of financial position, an entity shall classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent amounts. The new standard will become effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2017. The company adopted this presentation during the period ended December 31, 2015. Prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted.standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU2016-02”). Under ASU2016-02, lessees will need to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all of their leases, other than those that meet the definition of a short-term lease. For income statement purposes, leases must be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense, similar to current operating leases, while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern, similar to current capital leases. ASU2016-02 becomes effective for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. We are currently evaluating whether to early adopt the standard and what impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, to standardize the classification of restricted cash and cash equivalents transactions on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, although early adoption is permitted. The retrospective transition method will be required for this new guidance. We expect we will adopt this guidance by September 30, 2017, and that it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-01, Business Combinations. This standard clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluation of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, although early adoption is permitted for certain transactions. The prospective transition method will be required for this new guidance. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Also in January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This update is intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step in thecurrent two-step goodwill impairment test. This update is effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The prospective transition method will be required for this new guidance. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASU2016-09”). ASU2016-09 eliminates additional paid in capital pools and requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The accounting for an employee’s use of shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation and the accounting for forfeitures is also changing. ASU2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.

We expectelected to early adopt ASU 2016-09.2016-09 in the quarter ended December 31, 2016, which required us to reflect any adjustments as of October 1, 2016. We elected to account for forfeitures as they occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized, resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment of $58 to reduce retained earnings for the increase to stock compensation expense. We recorded an offsetting cumulative effect adjustment of $362 to increase retained earnings to recognize a deferred tax asset related to tax benefits which were not previously recognized, as the tax deduction related to stock compensation expense resulted in an increase to a net operating loss rather than a reduction to income tax payable. Amendments to the accounting for minimum statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact to retained earnings as of October 1, 2016.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, to standardize the classification of certain transactions on the statement of cash flows. These transactions include contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, although early adoption is permitted, and requires application using a retrospective transition method. We implemented the standard for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a materialhad no impact on our resultsstatement of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2. CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER

At March 31, 2016,2017, Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. together with its affiliates (collectively, “Tontine”) was the Company’s controlling shareholder, owning approximately 62.4%58% of the Company’s outstanding common stock according to a Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC by Tontine on March 24,October 5, 2016. Accordingly, Tontine has the ability to exercise significant control over our affairs, including the election of directors and most actions requiring the approval of shareholders.

While Tontine is subject to restrictions under federal securities laws on sales of its shares as an affiliate, in 2013, pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement between the Company and Tontine, the Companyhas filed a shelf registration statement to register all of the shares of IES common stock then owned by Tontine (the “Registered Shares”).at the time of registration. As long as the shelf registration statement remains effective, Tontine has the ability to resell any or all of its Registered Sharesregistered shares from time to time in one or more offerings, as described in the shelf registration statement and in any prospectus supplement filed in connection with an offering pursuant to the shelf registration statement.

Should Tontine sell or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of its position in IES, a change in ownership of IES could occur. A change in ownership, as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 382, could reduce the availability of the Company’s net operating losses (“NOLs”) for federal and state income tax purposes. On January 28, 2013,November 8, 2016, the Company implemented a new tax benefit protection plan (the “NOL Rights Plan”) that is. The NOL Rights Plan was designed to deter an acquisition of the Company’s stock in excess of a threshold amount that could trigger a change of ownershipcontrol within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. There can be no assurance that the NOL Rights Plan will be effective in deterring a change of ownership or protecting the NOLs. Furthermore, a change in ownershipcontrol would trigger the change of control provisions in a number of our material agreements, including our credit facility, bonding agreements with our sureties and our severance arrangements.

David B.Jeffrey L. Gendell the brother of Jeffrey Gendell, the founder and managing member of Tontine, has beenwas appointed as a member of the Company’sBoard of Directors and asnon-executive Chairman of the Board in November 2016.

Mr.2015 to November 2016. David B. Gendell is also an employee of Tontine.

On March 29, 2012, theThe Company entered intois party to a sublease agreement with Tontine Associates, LLC, an affiliate of Tontine, for corporate office space in Greenwich, Connecticut. The lease originally extended fromwas renewed for a three-year term in April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2014,2016 with monthly payments duean increase in the amountmonthly rent to $8, reflecting the increase paid by Tontine Associates, LLC to its landlord and the Company’s increased use of $6, and was renewed in March 2014 for a subsequent two-year term at approximately the same payment level.corporate office space.

3. DEBT

At March 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2015,2016, our long-term debt of $10,224$29,376 and $10,234,$29,257, respectively, relates to amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2016, the maturity date of the facility was August 9, 2018; however, this was subsequently extended to 2019. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for further discussion. Our weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 2.75%2.99% at March 31, 20162017, and 2.38%2.76% at September 30, 2015.2016. At March 31, 2016,2017, we also had $6,918$6,634 in outstanding letters of credit and total availability of $22,591$40,686 under this facility without violating our financial covenant. There have been no changes tocovenants.

On April 14, 2017, we entered into an amendment and restatement of our revolving credit facility which increased the size of the facility and modified certain of its terms, including the financial covenants disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015,2016. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for further discussion of this amendment and therestatement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2016. 2017.    

At March 31, 2016,2017, the carrying value of amounts outstanding on our revolving loancredit facility approximated fair value, as debt incurs interest at a variable rate. The fair value of the debt is classified as a level 2 measurement.

The Amended Plan provides for grants of stock options as well as grants of stock, including restricted stock. Approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the Amendedamended and restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, of which approximately 1,056,5981,051,757 shares arewere available for issuance at March 31, 2016. The terms of the Amended Plan are described further in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement for its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on December 28, 2015.2017.

Stock Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program for the purchase from time to time of up to 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Share purchases are made for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and amount of purchases under the program are determined based upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule10b5-1 trading plan, which allows repurchases underpre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from purchasing under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods. The program does not require the Company to purchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or reinstated at any time at the Company’s discretion and without notice. The Company initiated the program in February 2015 and during the year ended September 30, 2015, pursuant to the program, we repurchased 482,156 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.22 per share for a total aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million. We repurchased 7,692 shares of our common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2015, in open market transactions at an average price of $7.23 per share.

7. SECURITIES AND EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, investments, accounts payable and a loan agreement. We believe that the carrying value of these financial instruments in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. Additionally, we have a cost method investment in EnerTech Capital Partners II L.P. (“EnerTech”). We estimate the fair value of our investment in EnerTech (Level 3) using quoted market prices for underlying publicly traded securities, and estimated enterprise values are determined using cash flow projections and market multiples of the underlyingnon-public companies.

Investment in EnerTech

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we collected a distribution of $361, reducing our carrying value. The following table presents the reconciliation of the carrying value and unrealized gains to the fair value of the investment in EnerTech as of March 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2015:2016:

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurement Accounting

Fair value is considered the price to sell an asset, or transfer a liability, between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements assume that the asset or liability is (1) exchanged in an orderly manner, (2) the exchange is in the principal market for that asset or liability, and (3) the market participants are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange. Fair value accounting and reporting establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a hierarchy for observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop fair value estimates. As such, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods could have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

At March 31, 2016,2017, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were limited to our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, under which certain employees are permitted to defer a portion of their base salary and/or bonus for a Plan Year (as defined in the plan)., and contingent consideration liabilities related to our acquisitions of Calumet Armature & Electric, LLC (“Calumet”) in October 2015 and Freeman Enclosure Systems, LLC and its affiliate Strategic Edge LLC (together, “Freeman”) in March 2017.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017, are summarized in the following table by the type of inputs applicable to the fair value measurements:

Goodwill

We evaluateThe adjustment to goodwill in the quarter ended March 31, 2017 relates to finalizing the deferred tax balances acquired in connection with our acquisition of Technibus, Inc.in June 2016. Please see Note 13 – Business Combinations for potential impairment at least annually at year end, however, if impairment indicators exist, we will evaluate as needed. Events affecting the composition of a reporting unit, such as a sale or disposal, can be an indication of a potential impairment. As such, after allocating $577 of goodwill to a disposal group within our Infrastructure Solutions reporting unit, we considered whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Based on the results of this analysis, no impairment was indicated.further discussion.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

From time to time we are a party to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We maintain various insurance coverages to minimize financial risk associated with these proceedings. None of these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to all such proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We expense routine legal costs related to these proceedings as they are incurred.

The following is a discussion of our significant legal matters:

Ward Transformer SiteCapstone Construction Claims

Private ActionFrom 2003 to 2005, two of our former subsidiaries performed HVAC and electrical work under contract with Capstone Building Corporation (“Capstone”) on a university student housing project in Texas. In 2005, our subsidiaries filed for arbitration against Capstone, seeking payment for work performed, change orders and other impacts. The parties settled those claims, and the release included a waiver of warranties associated with any of the HVAC work. Several years later, the subsidiaries discontinued operations, and the Company sold their assets.

In April 2009, Carolina Power and Light Company and Consolidation Coal CompanyOn October 24, 2013, Capstone filed suita petition in the U.S.12th Judicial District Court of Walker County, Texas against these subsidiaries, among other subcontractors, seeking contribution, defense, indemnity and damages for breach of contract in connection with alleged construction defect claims brought against Capstone by the Eastern Districtowner of North Carolina (Western Division)the student housing project. The owner claims $10,406 in damages, plus attorneys’ fees and costs against a number of entities, including one of our subsidiaries, to recover costs to remove Polychlorinated Byphenyls (“PCB”) contamination at Ward Transformer, an electric transformer resale and reconditioning facility located in Raleigh, North Carolina (the “Private Action”). Plaintiffs had been ordered under a settlement agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) to clean up the onsite contamination, including the groundwater underneath the facility, and wereCapstone, which Capstone is seeking to recover costs associated withfrom the clean-up from other potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”). Duringsubcontractors. The claims against the first quarterCompany are based on alleged defects in the mechanical design, construction and installation of fiscal yearthe HVAC and electrical systems performed by our former subsidiaries.

Based on the settlement reached in the 2005 arbitration, we moved for, and the District Court granted us, summary judgment, dismissing all of Capstone’s claims in the 2013 lawsuit. Capstone appealed, and in April, 2016, the parties10th Court of Appeals, Waco, Texas Division, reversed the ruling with respect to the indemnity claims and remanded the case back to the District Court. The Texas Supreme Court subsequently denied our petition to review this decision and our motion for rehearing. As a result, we filed a new motion for summary judgment at the District Court level in April 2017. The Company will defend the claims and expects ultimately to prevail on the merits, but there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail or that it will not incur costs and liability for indemnity in connection with resolution of the claims. To date, the Company has not established a reserve with respect to this matter, reached an agreement in principle to settleas we believe the Company’s exposure, and following the first quarter, the parties settled this matter. The agreed upon settlement was fully accrued at September 30, 2015 and paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

EPA Action

Contamination outsidelikelihood of and downstream from the Ward Transformer siteour responsibility for damages is not subject to the Private Action. The EPA hasprobable and a potential range of exposure is not yet assessed costs for that portion of the remediation, and has not entered into any settlement agreement with any party to begin clean-up. While the costs to remediate the offsite conditions remain unknown, certain of the parties with larger exposure have agreed to undertake the clean-up. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, these parties agreed in principle to release several types of PRPs from liability for a nominal amount based on their limited involvement in the site. We believe the Company will be included in the settlement group and will be released from the matter for a nominal amount. Therefore, as of March 31, 2016, we had not recorded any additional reserve for this matter.reasonably estimable.

Risk-Management

We retain the risk for workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, automobile liability, construction defects, general liability and employee group health claims, as well as pollution coverage, resulting from uninsured deductibles per accident or occurrence which are generally subject to annual aggregate limits. Our general liability program provides coverage for bodily injury and property damage. In many cases, we insure third parties, including general contractors, as additional insureds under our insurance policies. Losses up to the deductible amounts, or losses that are not covered under our policies, are accrued based upon our known claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. As a result, many of our claims are effectively self-insured. Many claims against our insurance are in the form of litigation. At March 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2015,2016, we had $4,273$6,198 and $4,518,$5,464, respectively, accrued for insurance liabilities. We are also subject to construction defect liabilities, primarily within our Residential segment. As of March 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2015,2016, we had $351$219 and $464,$235, respectively, reserved for these claims. Because the reserves are based on judgment and estimates, and involve variables that are inherently uncertain, such as the outcome of litigation and an assessment of insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that the ultimate liability will not be higher or lower than such estimates or that the timing of payments will not create liquidity issues for the Company.

Some of the underwriters of our casualty insurance program require us to post letters of credit as collateral. This is common in the insurance industry. To date, we have not had a situation where an underwriter has had reasonable cause to effect payment under a letter of credit. At both March 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2015, $6,3472016, $6,176 and $6,126, respectively, of our outstanding letters of credit was utilized to collateralize our insurance program.

Surety

As of March 31, 2016,2017, the estimated cost to complete our bonded projects was approximately $71,016.$38,949. We evaluate our bonding requirements on a regular basis, including the terms offered by our sureties. We believe the bonding capacity presently provided by our current sureties is adequate for our current operations and will be adequate for our operations for the foreseeable future. Posting letters of credit in favor of our sureties reduces the borrowing availability under our credit facility.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Some of our customers and vendors require us to post letters of credit, or provide intercompany guarantees, as a means of guaranteeing performance under our contracts and ensuring payment by us to subcontractors and vendors. If our customer has reasonable cause to effect payment under a letter of credit, we would be required to reimburse our creditor for the letter of credit. At March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, $571$458 and $818, respectively, of our outstanding letters of credit were to collateralize our vendors.

From time to time, we may enter into firm purchase commitments for materials such as copper or aluminum wire which we expect to use in the ordinary course of business. These commitments are typically for terms of less than one year and require us to buy minimum quantities of materials at specific intervals at a fixed price over the term. As of March 31, 2016,2017, we had no such purchase orders totaling $1,237. We expect to use all of the materials purchased pursuant to these orders within the next 12 months.orders.

13. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Business Combinations2017

The Company completed two acquisitionsthe acquisition of 100% of the membership interests and associated real estate of Freeman Enclosure Systems, LLC and its affiliate Strategic Edge LLC (together, “Freeman”), on March 16, 2017, for a total maximum consideration of $12,127, including cash consideration of $11,663 paid at close and $464 of contingent consideration to be paid in April 2020. The total purchase consideration for the Freeman acquisition included contingent consideration payments based on the acquired company’s earnings, as defined in the quarter ended Decemberpurchase and sale agreement, through March 31, 2015 for aggregate2020. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated at $464 at March 31, 2017, and is included in othernon-current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Freeman is an Ohio-based manufacturer of $8,555. These acquisitions included:

Calumet Armature & Electric, LLC (“Calumet”), an Illinois-based provider of design, manufacturing, assembly,custom generator enclosures primarily used by data centers and repair services of electric motors for thelarge commercial and industrial and mass transit markets. Calumetfacilities. Freeman is included in our Infrastructure Solutions segment.

Shanahan Mechanical and Electrical, Inc. (“Shanahan”), a Nebraska-based provider of mechanical and electrical contracting services. Shanahan operates as a subsidiary in IES’s Commercial & Industrial segment.

The total aggregate consideration includes cash consideration of $8,107 and contingent consideration with an acquisition date fair value estimated at $448. Of the cash consideration, $7,338 was paid at closing, and the remaining $769 was paid within 90 days subsequent to the transaction dates, in accordance with working capital settlement provisions pursuant to the agreements with the sellers. The contingent consideration arrangement relates to the purchase of Calumet, and provides that a maximum of $2,250 may be earned over the three year period ended December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2016 the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was $714 . Based on an increase in the fair value of the liability driven by improved actual and expected financial performance of Calumet, we have recorded additional contingent consideration expense as a component of income from continuing operations.

The Company accounted for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires recording assets and liabilities at fair value (Level 3). The valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by management are preliminary, pending finalization of the valuations of deferred taxes, fixed assets, contingent consideration liability, and certain intangible assets. While management believes that its preliminary estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different values being assigned to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This may result in adjustments to

Southern Rewinding

On May 21, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc. (“Magnetech”) acquired all of the common stock and certain related real estate of Southern Industrial Sales and Services, Inc. (“Southern Rewinding”), a Columbus, Georgia-based motor repair and related field services company, for total consideration of $3,937. Of that amount, $3,137 was paid at closing, with additional consideration of $800 scheduled to be paid through the period ending November 2016. Of that additional amount, $200 was paid during the three months ended December 31, 2015. Payment of the remaining $600 is subject to Magnetech’s right to hold back certain amounts in respect of seller obligations. After closing, we provided the newly-acquired entity with $1,065 of working capital. Southern Rewinding is included in our Infrastructure Solutions segment.

The Company accounted for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires recording assets and liabilities at fair value (Level 3).

Credit facility amendment

On May 3, 2016,April 10, 2017, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”)an amendment and restatement to our revolving credit facility (“the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company’sAmended Credit Agreement, our maximum revolver amount increased from $60$70 million to $70$100 million, and the maturity date of the revolving credit facility was extended from August 9, 20182019 to August 9, 2019.2021. The AmendmentAmended Credit Agreement also reducedmodified our financial covenants by, among other items, implementing a new covenant that requires the interest rate charged under the facility. PriorCompany to the Amendment, the interest rate on the facility was equal tomaintain a Daily Three Month LIBORminimum EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus an that will be tested quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis; increasing the minimum liquidity requirement applicable to the Company from 12.5% to 30% of the maximum revolver amount; raising the Company’s required fixed charge coverage ratio (the “FCCR”) to 1.1:1.0 from 1.0:1.0; and requiring that the FCCR be tested quarterly regardless of the Company’s liquidity levels.

The amendment and restatement did not include any changes to interest rate margin of between 2.00 and 3.00 percent. The Amendment reduced this interest rate margin to a range from 1.75 to 2.25 percent, with a 3.25 percent interest rate margin on overadvance amounts outstanding under the facility. The Amendment also modified the calculation of amounts available under the credit facility, by increasing our advance rates and expanding the definition of assets to be included in our borrowing base. We expect this to result in a significant increase in available borrowing capacity under the credit facility.

The Company must maintain a minimum liquidity of $8.75 million, at least one half of which must be Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit Agreement continues to contain other customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants including the requirement that the Company maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement)as well as events of not less than 1.0:1.0 at any time that Liquidity (defined as the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand plus Excess Availability) falls below $14 million, with at least $7 million of Excess Availability.default.

OVERVIEW

Executive Overview

Please refer to Item 1, “Business”of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015,2016, for a discussion of the Company’s services and corporate strategy. Integrated Electrical Services,IES Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding company that owns and manages diverse operating subsidiaries, comprised of providers of industrial products and infrastructure services to a variety of end markets. Our operations are currently organized into four principal business segments: Communications, Residential, Commercial & Industrial and Infrastructure Solutions.

Business Combinations

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, and in furtherance of our strategy of acquiring or investing in complementary or stand-alone platform businesses, we acquired two businesses to be operated within our existing Infrastructure Solutions and Commercial & Industrial business segments, respectively.

On October 30, 2015, a subsidiary of our Infrastructure Solutions segment acquired Calumet Armature & Electric, LLC (“Calumet”), an Illinois-based provider of design, manufacturing, assembly, and repair services of electric motors for the industrial and mass transit markets. We expect the acquisition of Calumet to both support expansion into new end customers through the added capability of new armature manufacturing and enhance our presence in the Great Lakes region.

On November 20, 2015, a subsidiary of our Commercial & Industrial segment acquired Shanahan Mechanical and Electrical, Inc. (“Shanahan”), a Nebraska-based provider of mechanical and electrical contracting services. We believe the Shanahan acquisition will not only enhance the Company’s current mechanical contracting expertise, but also accelerate our entry into the Lincoln, Nebraska market, an area that our Holdrege, Nebraska location has targeted for expansion.

On April 27, 2016, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Commercial & Industrial segment acquired an 80% interest in STR Mechanical, LLC (“STR”), a Charlotte, North Carolina-based provider of commercial and industrial mechanical services, including maintenance, repair, and replacement services, and temperature control system installations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs not directly associated with performing work for our customers. These costs consist primarily of compensation and benefits related to corporate, segment and branch management (including incentive-based compensation), occupancy and utilities, training, professional services, information technology costs, consulting fees, costs associated with acquisitions, travel and certain types of depreciation and amortization. We allocate certain corporate selling, general and administrative costs across our segments as we believe this more accurately reflects the costs associated with operating each segment.

Additionally, we incurred certain costs related to our acquisitions of Southern Rewinding, Shanahan, and Calumet, including $0.3 million in amortization of acquired intangible assets.operations.

The increase in tax expense for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, is due to the release of a valuation allowance during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. As a result of the valuation allowance release during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, tax expense is no longer reduced by a corresponding valuation allowance release. See Note9-Income Taxes in our Form10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016, for further discussion of the release of this valuation allowance. Additionally, for the six months ended March 31, 2016, includedwe recognized a benefit of $1.4 million related to the release of $1.4 million of valuation allowance in connection with the acquisition of deferred tax liabilities related to Shanahan and Calumet.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report on Form10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, write-downs for obsolete inventory, income taxes, impairments of long-lived assets, and contingencies and litigation.

We establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets basedBACKLOG

Backlog is a measure of revenue that we expect to recognize from work that has yet to be performed on a standard of whether it is more likely thanuncompleted contracts, and from work that has been contracted but has not that the assets will fail to result in a future reduction of taxes paid. Our ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the periods provided by tax regulations for the applicable tax jurisdiction. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, we consider future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable incomestarted, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, and tax planning strategies. When assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we considershort-term projects. While all available evidence, including the nature and magnitude of our cumulative losses in recent years, durationbacklog is supported by documentation from customers authorizing the performance of carryforward periods,future work, backlog is not a guarantee of future revenues, as contractual commitments may change and our financial outlook.

After a prolonged periodperformance may vary. Not all of operating losses spanning many years, the Company reported incomeour work is performed under contracts included in backlog; for the fiscal years endedexample, certain service work is performed under master service agreements on anas-needed basis. Our backlog has decreased from $341 million at September 30, 2014 and 2015, and for the six months ended2016, to $335 million at March 31, 2016.

Over the ten-year period from 2004 through 2013, the Company reported net losses each year, finally returning2017. The decrease relates to profitabilityan increase in the year endedwork performed on certain Residential multi-family projects which were delayed at September 30, 2014. Although we have recently returned to profitability, GAAP guidelines place considerably more weight on historical results2016, and less weight on future projections, and as such, the cumulative pretax losses provide sufficient negative evidence to support the appropriatenesscompletion of a full valuation allowance. We will evaluate the appropriateness ofcertain large projects at our remaining deferred tax assets and valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. To the extent that profitability continues, our conclusion regarding the amount of valuation allowances required could change, resulting in the reversal of a portion of our valuation allowances. Such a reversal, if one were to occur, would result in a benefit to earnings. At September 30, 2015, federal and state deferred tax asset valuation allowances were $106,560 and $4,681, respectively.Communications segment.

WORKING CAPITAL

During the six months ended March 31, 2016,2017, working capital exclusive of cash decreasedincreased by $5.5$10.6 million from September 30, 2015,2016, reflecting a $4.1$17.8 million decreaseincrease in current assets excluding cash and a $0.8$7.2 million increase in current liabilities during the period.

During the six months ended March 31, 2016,2017, our current assets exclusive of cash decreasedincreased to $134.9$194.5 million, as compared to $139.7$176.8 million as of September 30, 2015.2016. The increase included $5.4 million of current trade accounts receivables, net, decreased by $3.0 million atassets associated with the Freeman acquisition in March 31, 2016, as compared to September 30, 2015,2017. The remaining increase was driven by an increase in collections. Underbillings also decreased by $5.6 million, offset by a $2.3$2.8 million increase in prepaid balances.expenses and other current assets, as well as a $3.5 million increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and a $3.3 million increase in inventory excluding the inventory acquired in the Freeman transaction. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets is driven by the timing of certain prepaid insurance policies during the year. The increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings is the result of an increase in the amount of work performed at our Communications segment under cost plus arrangements. These cost plus arrangements typically take longer to bill than the fixed price arrangements that are more common for the business. Inventory increased primarily at our Residential segment due to the timing of a large wire purchase. Days sales outstanding (“DSOs”) decreasedincreased to 5064 at March 31, 20162017 from 5660 at September 30, 2015.2016. While the rate of collections may vary, our typically secured position, resulting from our ability in general to secure liens against our customers’ overdue receivables, reasonably assures that collection will occur eventually to the extent that our security retains value.

During the six months ended March 31, 2016,2017, our total current liabilities increased by $0.7$7.2 million to $108.8$140.3 million, compared to $108.1$133.1 million as of September 30, 2015.2016. The increase was primarily the result of increased overbillings$5.5 million of $1.2 million.accounts payable and accrued liabilities added with the Freeman acquisition in March 2017.

Surety

We believe the bonding capacity presently provided by our sureties is adequate for our current operations and will be adequate for our operations for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2016,2017, the estimated cost to complete our bonded projects was approximately $71.0$38.9 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $58.3 million, working capital exclusive of cash of $26.1 million, and $6.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under our 2012 Credit Facility. We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash flows, and available capacity under our 2012 Credit Facility will provide sufficient cash to enable us to meet our working capital needs, debt service requirements and capital expenditures for property and equipment through the next twelve months. Our ability to generate cash flow is dependent on many factors, including demand for our services, the availability of projects at margins acceptable to us, the ultimate collectability of our receivables, and our ability to borrow on our 2012 Credit Facility, if needed.

We continue to closely monitor the financial markets and general national and global economic conditions. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted in the future by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

The 2012 Revolving Credit Facility

We maintain aOn April 10, 2017, we entered into an amendment and restatement to our revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement”, or the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whichPursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, our maximum revolver amount increased from $70 million to $100 million, and the maturity date of the revolving credit

facility was most recently amendedextended from August 9, 2019 to August 9, 2021. The Amended Credit Agreement also modified our financial covenants by, among other items, implementing a new covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA (as defined in May 2016. The amendment increasedthe Amended Credit Agreement) that will be tested quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis; increasing the minimum Liquidity (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) requirement applicable to the Company from 12.5% to 30% of the maximum revolver amount; raising the Company’s required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) (the “FCCR”) to 1.1:1.0 from $60 million1.0:1.0; and requiring that the FCCR be tested quarterly regardless of the Company’s Liquidity levels.

The Amended Credit Agreement continues to $70 million, and extended the maturity date from August, 2018 to August 2019 (as amended, the “2012 Credit Facility”). The 2012 Credit Facility containscontain other customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. covenants as well as events of default.

As of March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, requiring that we maintain:

An FCCR, measured quarterly on a trailing four-quarter basis at the end of each quarter, of at least 1.1 to 1.0.

Minimum Liquidity of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), or $30 million; with, for purposes of this covenant, at least fifty percent (50%) of our Liquidity comprised of Excess Availability.

Minimum EBITDA, measured at the end of each quarter, of at least the required amount set forth in the following table for the applicable period set forth opposite thereto:

Applicable Amount

Applicable Period

$    30,000,000For each four quarter period ending March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017
$    32,500,000For the four quarter period ending December 31, 2017
$    35,000,000For each four quarter period ending March 31, 2018 and eachquarter-end thereafter

At March 31, 2016, we were subject to the financial covenant under the 2012 Credit Facility requiring, at any time that our Liquidity (the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand plus Excess Availability, as defined in

the amended and restated credit agreement dated September 24, 2014, under the 2012 Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”)) is less than $20 million or our Excess Availability is less than $5 million, that we maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0. At March 31, 2016,2017, our Liquidity was $80.9$61.5 million, and our Excess Availability was $22.6$40.7 million (or greater than 50% of minimum Liquidity), our FCCR was 15.4:1.0; and as such, we were not required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0:1.0 as of such date. Nonetheless, atour EBITDA for the four quarters ended March 31, 2016, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio2017 was 15.1:1.0. Compliance with our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, while not required at March 31, 2016, provides us with the ability to use cash on hand or to draw on our 2012 Credit Facility such that we can fall below the Excess Availability and Liquidity minimum thresholds described above without violating our financial covenant.$36.2 million.

Our Fixed Charge Coverage RatioFCCR is calculated as follows (with capitalized terms as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement): (i) our trailing twelve month EBITDA, (as defined in the Credit Agreement), lessnon-financed capital expenditures (other than capital expenditures financed by means of an advance under the Credit Agreement)credit facility), cash taxes and all Restricted Junior Payments consisting of certain pass-through tax liabilities, divided by (ii) the sum of our cash interest (other thaninterest paid-in-kind, amortization of financing fees, andother non-cash interest expense) and principal debt payments (other than repayment of principal on advances under the 2012 Credit Facility)credit facility and including cash payments with respect to capital leases), any management, consulting, monitoring, and advisory fees paid to an affiliate, and all Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the 2012 Credit Facility) (other than pass-through tax liabilities) and other cash distributions. distributions; provided, that if any acquisition is consented to by lender after the date of the Amended Credit Agreement, the components of the FCCR will be calculated for such fiscal period after giving pro forma effect to the acquisition assuming that such transaction has occurred on the first day of such period (including pro forma adjustments arising out of events which are directly attributable to such acquisition, are factually supportable, and are expected to have a continuing impact, in each case to be reasonably agreed to by the lender).

As defined in the 2012Amended Credit Facility,Agreement, EBITDA is calculated as consolidated net income (or loss), less extraordinary gains, interest income,non-operating income and income tax benefits and decreases in any change in LIFO reserves, plus stock compensation expense,non-cash extraordinary losses (including, but not limited to,a non-cash extraordinary losses,impairment charge or write-down), interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and increases in any change in LIFO reserves.

If in the future our Liquidity orfalls below $30 million (or Excess Availability fallfalls below $14 million or $7 million, respectively, and at that time50% of our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratiominimum Liquidity), our FCCR is less than 1.0:1.1:1.0, we fail to meet our minimum EBITDA requirement, or if we otherwise fail to perform or otherwise comply with certain of our covenants or other agreements under our 2012the Amended Credit Facility,Agreement, it would result in an event of default under our 2012the Amended Credit Facility,Agreement, which could result in some or all of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable.

At March 31, 2016,2017, we had $22.6 million under the 2012 Credit Facility that was available to us without triggering or violating our financial covenant, $6.9$6.6 million in outstanding letters of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A and outstanding borrowings of $10.2$30.2 million. Our interest rate on borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility revolver was 2.75% at March 31, 2016.

The Amendment

On May 3, 2016 we entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, in addition to increasing the maximum revolver size and extending the maturity date of the credit facility, reduced the interest rate charged under the 2012 Credit Facility and resulted in an increase in available borrowing capacity. Prior to the Amendment, the interest rate on the 2012 Credit Facility was equal to a Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an interest rate margin of between 2.00 and 3.00 percent. The Amendment reduces this interest rate margin to a range from 1.75 to 2.25 percent. The Amendment also modified the calculation of amounts available under the 2012 Credit Facility, by increasing our advance rates and expanding the types of assets to be included in our borrowing base. We believe these modifications will result in a significant increase in available borrowing capacity. In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, the Company must maintain a minimum liquidity of $8.75 million, at least on half of which must be Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 3, 2016, and any description herein of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amendment.

Operating Activities

Our cash flow from operations is not only influenced by cyclicality, demand for our services, operating margins and the type of services we provide, but can also be influenced by working capital needs such as the timing of our receivable collections. Working capital needs are generally lower during our fiscal first and second quarters due to the seasonality that we experience in many regions of the country.

Operating activities provided net cash of $18.4$2.7 million during the six months ended March 31, 2016,2017, as compared to $4.7$18.3 million of net cash provided in the six months ended March 31, 2015.2016. The increasedecrease in operating cash flow was primarily the result of increased earnings and a decrease in working capital forneeds within our Communications segment due to the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the same period in 2015. Working capital reductions include a $4.4 million increase in cash collected from accounts receivable andcost-plus arrangements, under which the timing of invoices to the customer is later as compared to a $5.0 million benefit from a reduction in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. This increase was partly offset by $8.0 million used pay down accounts payable and accrued liabilities.typical fixed price contract.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $9.5$14.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016,2017, compared with $0.7$9.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015.2016. We used $8.3cash of $11.7 million related to the acquisition of Freeman and $2.9 million for the acquisitionspurchases of Calumet and Shanahanfixed assets in the six months ended March 31, 2016, and $0.2 million related to the May 2015 acquisition of Southern Rewinding. Purchases of fixed assets used $1.1 million in2017. For the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $1.6we used $8.3 million related to the acquisitions of Calumet and Shanahan, and $1.1 million for the purchase of fixed assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Financing Activities

2017 included $0.4 million paid pursuant to our contingent consideration agreement with the former owners of Calumet, and $0.1 million distributed to ournon-controlling interest holders, offset by the return of $0.2 million in cash which had been restricted in support of letters of credit. There was no significant use of cash for financing activities in the six months ended March 31, 2016. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, we paid $3.1 million for the repurchase of common stock from an unrelated, third party investor, pursuant to the stock repurchase plan described below.

Stock Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program for the purchase from time to time of up to 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Share purchases are made for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and amount of purchases under the program are determined based upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule10b5-1 trading plan, which allows repurchases underpre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from purchasing under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods. The program does not require the Company to purchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or reinstated at any time at the Company’s discretion and without notice. The Company initiated the program in February 2015 and during the year ended September 30, 2015, pursuant to the program, we repurchased 482,156 sharesdid not repurchase any of its common stock at an average price of $7.22 per share for a total aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million. We repurchased 7,692 shares of our common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2015, in open market transactions at an average price of $7.23 per share. We made no repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

During the six months ended March 31, 2016, our Infrastructure Solutions segment entered into an extension of a lease for an office building, operating facility, and warehouse space. The revised lease has a term of ten years and aggregate rent payments of approximately $5.3 million.2017.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Management is actively involved in monitoring exposure to market risk and continues to develop and utilize appropriate risk management techniques. Our exposure to significant market risks includes fluctuations in commodity prices for copper, aluminum, steel and fuel. Commodity price risks may have an impact on our results of operations due to the fixed price nature of many of our contracts. We are also exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our outstanding debt obligations on the 2012 Credit Facility.revolving credit facility. For additional information seeDisclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q.

Commodity Risk

Our exposure to significant market risks includes fluctuations in commodity prices for copper, aluminum, steel and fuel. Commodity price risks may have an impact on our results of operations due to the fixed nature of many of our contracts. Over the long-term, we expect to be able to pass along a portion of these costs to our customers, as market conditions in the construction industry will allow. The Company has not entered into any commodity price risk hedging instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk on our floating interest rate borrowings. If LIBOR were to increase, our interest payment obligations on outstanding borrowings would increase, having a negative effect on our cash flow and financial condition. We currently do not maintain any hedging contracts that would limit our exposure to variable rates of interest when we have outstanding borrowings. Floating rate debt, where the interest rate fluctuates periodically, exposes us to short-term changes in market interest rates.

All of the long-term debt outstanding under our 2012 Credit Facilityrevolving credit facility is structured on floating interest rate terms. A one percentage point increase in the interest rates on our long-term debt outstanding under our 2012 Credit Facilitythe credit facility as of March 31, 20162017, would cause a $0.1$0.3 millionpre-tax annual increase in interest expense.
