Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to reviewrecord purchase price allocation for the Company’s impairments andCompany's acquisitions, fair value measurements used in goodwill impairment tests, impairment estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on cost-to-cost-methodcost-to-cost type contracts, inventory valuation, warranty reserves,allowances for uncollectible accounts, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances, valuationestimates of the incremental borrowing rate for acquisitions,long-term leases, fair value estimates and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, note receivable interest imputation, and the incremental borrowing rate used in determining the value of right of use assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 20202021 classifications in order to conform to the 20212022 presentation.

 

Company Conditions

Orbital Solar Services has seen increasing customer opportunities including its association with the Black Sunrise Investment fund. The fund has identified through its investors and others, several projectsSources of scale and for which Orbital Solar Services is expected to be awarded significant work. Orbital Power Services began operations during the first quarter of 2020 with work progressing under master service agreements with several new customers, and extended the service capabilities in January 2021 to include drilled shaft foundation construction services. Orbital Telecom Services began operations in the second quarter of 2021 with the acquisition of GTS which had a positive impact on margins during the quarter and year-to-date periods. Orbital Gas Systems continues to face issues surrounding COVID-19, the overall economy in the United Kingdom, and the impact of pricing pressure on oil and gas industry customers.

Liquidity

The Company had ahas experienced net loss of $36.3 million, a gross margin of $1.3 million, andlosses, cash outflows from cash used in operating activities and a decline in share value over the past years. As of $36.8 million duringand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $421.4 million, loss from continuing operations of $208.3 million, and net cash used in operating activities of $13.4 million. Further, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $118.7 million, including current maturities of debt, and cash and cash equivalents of $28.0 million available for working capital needs and planned capital asset expenditures.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its obligations and fund its operations for the 2021.twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has plans to access additional capital to meet its obligations for the twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. Historically, the Company has raised additional equity and debt financing to fund its expansion; refer to Note 16Notes Payable and Line of Credit. The Company has also funded some of its capital expenditures through long-term financing with lenders and other investors as also described in further detail in Note 16Notes Payable and Line of Credit. Our ability to raise the additional capital is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock, which itself is subject to a number of business risks and uncertainties, our creditworthiness and the uncertainty that we would be able to raise such additional capital at a price that is favorable to us. As of September 30, 2021,2022, our accumulated deficit is $186.0the Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement for the issuance of various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants in the aggregate of up to $68.8 million. In addition, although no formal agreements exist, the company has solicited interest from various lenders to potentially raise additional term debt to restructure or refinance its existing notes.

The Company plans to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months by raising additional capital through equity and debt financing sources and forecasted positive cash flows generated from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in executing these plans. If unsuccessful, the Company will not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to repay its indebtedness when it matures, or otherwise meet its cash requirements over the next twelve months, as noted above.

Restructuring Costs

In September 2022, the Company fully impaired its finance lease equipment related to the Eclipse Foundation Group in the Electric Power segment. These pieces of equipment are drilling specific and at this time, the Company does not plan to use the equipment for the remaining term of the leases. As these leases are non-cancelable and do not include a sub-leasing option, the full finance lease assets related to Eclipse have been removed from the balance sheet and an equal impairment has been recognized in the amount of $4.5 million. Future payments related to these leases will be approximately $5.2 million paid through June 2026.

Sale of Orbital U.K.

On May 11, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Orbital U.K. operations for the agreed upon amount of 3,000,000 GBP. The Company received 1,575,000 GBP on the settlement date and we had negative working capitalthe remaining 1,425,000 GBP was received on July 11, 2022. The Company could receive additional consideration if certain events transpire during the 12-month restricted period following the settlement date. In addition, the Company will receive a “royalty” of $4.0 million.15% on any sales of the GasPT device related to Snam Rete Gas and/or the Future Billing Methodology (FBM) Project.

 

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived intangible assets

Upon acquisition of Reach Construction Group, LLC, (name changed to Orbital Solar Services) the Company recorded $7.0 million of goodwill. Goodwill was valued as of April 1, 2020 by a third-party valuation expert and was recorded following the recognition of Orbital Solar Service's tangible assets and liabilities and $13.7 million of finite-lived identifiable intangible assets. Factors that contributed to the Company's goodwill are Orbital Solar Service's skilled workforce and reputation within its industry. The Company also expected to achieve future synergies between the Orbital Solar Serviceshad Goodwill from acquisitions made in 2020,2021 and Orbital Power Services businesses. These synergies were expected to be achieved in the form of power line work necessary when bringing new solar power systems online.2022.

The Company tests for impairment of Indefinite-lived intangibles and Goodwill in the second quarter of each year and when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of Goodwill exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. The Company’s qualitative assessment of impairment for indefinite-lived assets at May 31, 2021 followed the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-18A and 18B and determined there was 0 impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles at that time.

 

Under current accounting guidance, Orbital EnergyInfrastructure Group is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The Company tests for goodwill impairment in the second quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.

 

As detailed in ASCDuring the 350-20-35-3A,three in performing its testing for impairment of goodwill as ofmonths ended May 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, managementthe Company completed a quantitative analysis on the OSS reporting unit to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of aits reporting unit isunits were less than itstheir carrying amount, including goodwill.

To complete the review, management evaluated the fair value of the Goodwill and considered all known events and circumstances that might trigger an impairment of goodwill. The review of goodwill, prepared as of May 31, 2021,2022, determined that there were not indicators present to suggest that it was more likely than not that the fair value of any of the Company's reporting units was less than its carrying amount and thus no impairment was necessary during the quarter ended June 30, 2022

The Company did a second goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2022 due to a 42-percent drop in the Company's stock price between May 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, that caused an overall decrease in the Company’s market capitalization. We performed the interim impairment tests consistent with our approach for annual impairment testing, including similar models, inputs, and assumptions. As a result of the interim impairment testing, no impairment was identified as of June 30, 2022. 

During the third quarter of 2022, triggering events were identified which led to performing interim goodwill impairment testing of our reporting units as of September 30, 2022. These events included a further decrease in the Company's market capitalization, the significant loss in the Renewables segment in the third quarter of 2022, interest rate increases and limitations on accessing capital, which raised substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The fair value for our reporting units for the interim testing was valued using a market approach. The impairment assessment resulted in a conclusion that goodwill in the Electric Power and Telecommunications reporting units was impaired by $70.1 million and $25.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The impairment assessment also concluded that the fair value of the Orbital Solar Services . In addition, we evaluatedRenewables reporting unit was in excess of its carrying amount.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021. Changes to the Company's accounting policies are discussed below:

Adoption of new accounting standards

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU No.2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions related to contract modifications and hedge accounting to address the transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance permits an entity to consider contract modification due to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract re-measurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. ASU 2020-04 also temporarily allows hedge relationships to continue without de-designation upon changes due to reference rate reform. The standard is effective upon issuance and can be applied as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.There was not a material effect on the Company's financial statements due to the Company not having any current financial instruments that are affected by this new guidance.

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2020-01,Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 clarifies the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivatives, and is expected to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability of the accounting for these interactions. The amendments in ASU 2020-01 are effective for the Company's 2021 fiscal year, including interim periods. The new guidance does not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements due to the Company currently not having any equity-method investments or any derivative instruments.

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12,Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is guidance intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes, eliminate certain exceptions within ASC 740 and clarify certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. The pronouncement is effective for the Company's 2021 fiscal year, including interim periods. The ASU does not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS 

 

The Electric Power and Solar Infrastructure Services segment provides full service building, maintenance and support to the electrical power distribution, transmission, substation, renewables, and emergency response sectors of North America through Front Line Power, Orbital Power Services.Services and  Eclipse Foundation. The Telecommunications segment composed of Gibson Technical Services and subsidiaries provides technical implementation, design, maintenance, emergency and repair support services in the broadband, wireless, and outside plant and building technologies.  The Renewables segment, Orbital Solar Services, provides engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) services that support the development of renewable energy generation focused on utility scale solar and community solar construction, and Orbital Telecom Services provides technical implementation, design, maintenance, emergency and repair support services in the broadband, wireless, and outside plant and building technologies.

The  Integrated Energy Infrastructure Solutions and Services segment subsidiaries, collectively referred to as Orbital Gas Systems, generate their revenue from a portfolio of products, services and resources that offer a diverse range of personalized gas engineering solutions to the gas utilities, power generation, petrochemical, emissions, manufacturing and automotive industries among others. 

Orbital Gas Systems accounts for a majority of its contract revenue proportionately over time. For our performance obligations satisfied over time, we recognize revenue by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion can be either an input method or an output method and requires judgment based on the nature of the goods or services to be provided.construction.

 

For our construction contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time. Our fixed price and unit-price construction projects generally use a cost-to-cost input method or an output method to measure our progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation as we believe these methodsit best depictdepicts the transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is also generally recognized over time as the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Under the output method, the measure of progress towards completion is measured based on units or hours of work completed multiplied by the contractual pricing amounts per unit.  Under the output method, revenue is determined by actual work achieved. For jobs under the output method, revenue is earned based on each unit in the contract completed. We construct comprehensive revenue calculations based on quantifiable measures of actual units completed multiplied by the agreed upon contract prices per item completed. 

 

TheFor our engineering and network design contracts, revenue is also generally recognized over time. In these jobs, timing of revenue recognition for Integrated Energy Infrastructure products also depends on the payment terms of the contract, as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us. For those contracts where the Company's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced or for which we have a right to payment for performance completed to date at all times throughout our performance, inclusive of a cancellation, we recognize revenue over time. TheseAs discussed above, these performance obligations use a cost-to-cost input method or output method to measure our progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation as we believe it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. However, for those contracts for which we do not have a right, at all times, to payment for performance completed to date and we are not enhancing a customer controlledcustomer-controlled asset, we recognize revenue at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, generally when the product is shipped.customer. 

 

For our service contracts, revenue is also generally recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our performance as we perform the service. For our fixed price service contracts with specified service periods, revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over such service period when our inputs are expended evenly, and the customer receives and consumes the benefits of our performance throughout the contract term.

For certain of our revenue streams, such as call-out repair and service work, and outage services, that are performed under time and materials contracts, our progress towards complete satisfaction of such performance obligations is measured using an input method as the customer receives and consumes the benefits of our performance completed to date.

 

Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that estimates of costs to complete a performance obligation will be revised in the near-term. For those performance obligations for which revenue is recognized using a cost-to-cost input method, changes in total estimated costs, and related progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. When the current estimate of total costs for a performance obligation indicates a loss, a provision for the entire estimated loss on the unsatisfied performance obligation is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident.

 

Under the output method, revenue is determined by actual work achieved. For time and materials jobs, revenue is recognized based on the output of hours of work completed multiplied by the contractual agreed upon rate per hour. For the remainder of jobs under the output method, revenue is earned based on each unit in the contract completed. We construct comprehensive revenue calculations based on quantifiable measures of actual units completed multiplied by the agreed upon contract prices per item completed. Revenue is also generally recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our performance as we perform the service.

Product-type contracts (for example, sale of GasPT units) for which revenue does not qualify to be recognized over time are recognized at a point in time. Revenues from extended warranty and maintenance activities are recognized ratably over the term of the warranty and maintenance period. Extended warranties are not a material portion of our revenue.

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when our right to consideration is unconditional. We also assess our customer's ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including our historical payment experience with and the financial condition of our customers.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, althoughand are within industry standards across our standard terms include a requirement of payment within 30 days.business lines. Accounts receivable are recognized net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from our construction projects when revenue recognized under the cost-to-cost or output method measure of progress exceedor input cost-to-cost method exceeds the amounts invoiced to our customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of our contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from our customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. Also included in contract assets are retainage receivables and amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders or modifications in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and/or price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Our contract assets do not include capitalized costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Contract assets are generally classified as current within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Contract liabilities from our construction contracts occur when amounts invoiced to our customers exceed revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost or output method measure of progress. Contract liabilities additionally include advanced payments from our customers on certain contracts and provision for future contract losses for those contracts estimated to close in a gross loss position. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation and are recorded as either current or long-term, depending upon when we expect to recognize such revenue.

 

Balances and activity in the current contract liabilities as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 30,and 2021 and 2020 was as follows:

Performance Obligations

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of contracts with customers for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company's remaining performance obligations are generally expected to be filled within the next 12 months. For the contracts that are greater than 12 months the Company has approximately $198.1 million in the aggregate of future revenue related to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of September 30, 2022. 

 

Any adjustments to net revenues, cost of revenues, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual performance obligations, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of those performance obligations. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks. Changes in estimates of net revenues, cost of revenues and the related impact to operating income are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period they become known, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation's percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. For separately priced extended warranty or product maintenance performance obligations, when estimates of total costs to be incurred on the performance obligation exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined.

 

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

To determine the proper revenue recognition method for our contracts, we evaluate whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to separate the single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period.

 

For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability (even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple units). Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. Less commonly, however, we may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract in which case we separate the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We infrequently sell standard products with observable standalone sales. In cases where we do, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. More frequently, we sell a customized customer specific solution, and in these cases, we typically use the output method or the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time

Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 21% and 12% of revenues for the three month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and 18% and 19% for the nine month periods ended September 30,2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when the product is shipped and the customer takes control of the product. Determination of control transfer is typically determined by shipping terms delineated on the customer purchase orders and is generally when shipped.

 

Variable Consideration

The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration. In rare instances, we include in our contract estimates, additional revenue for submitted contract modifications or claims against the customer when we believe we have an enforceable right to the modification or claim, the amount can be estimated reliably, and its realization is probable. In evaluating these criteria, we consider the contractual/legal basis for the claim, the cause of any additional costs incurred, the reasonableness of those costs and the objective evidence available to support the claim. These amounts are included in our calculation of net revenue recorded for our contracts and the associated remaining performance obligations. Additionally, if the contract has a provision for liquidated damages in the case that the Company misses a timing target, or fails to meet any other contract benchmarks, we accountthe Company accounts for those estimated liquidated damages as variable consideration and will adjust revenue accordingly with periodic updates to the estimated variable consideration as the job progresses. Liquidated damages are recognized as variable consideration only when we estimate that they will be a factor in the performance of the contract and are not common.estimated based on the most likely amount that is deemed probable of realization.

Significant Judgments

Our contracts with certain customers may be subject to contract cancellation clauses. Contracts with other cancellation provisions may require judgment in determining the contract term, including the existence of material rights, transaction price and identifying the performance obligations and whether a contract should be accounted for over time or on a completed contract basis. Revenue is recognized for certain projects over time using cost-based input methods, in which significant judgement is required to evaluate assumptions including the amount of total estimated costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.

 

At times, customers may request changes that either amend, replace or cancel existing contracts. Judgment is required to determine whether the specific facts and circumstances within the contracts require the changes to be accounted for as a separate contract or as a modification. Generally, contract modifications containing additional goods and services that are determined to be distinct and sold at their stand-alone selling price are accounted for as a separate contract. For contract modifications where goods and services are not determined to be distinct and sold at their stand-alone selling price, the original contract is updated and the required adjustments to revenue and contract assets, liabilities, and other accounts will be made accordingly.

 

Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately rather than together may require significant judgment. For, example, we consider many of our contracts that coordinate multiple products into an integrated system to be a single performance obligation, while the same products would be considered separate performance obligations if not so integrated.

 

In contracts where there are timing differences between when we transfer a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, we have determined that, our contracts do not include a significant financing component.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In January 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of the VE Technology rights, which it has previously utilized the VE Technology through a licensing agreement with Endet Ltd. Orbital Gas Systems has the existing proprietary knowledge for the marketing, engineering and production of the VE Technology based solutions. The VE Technology, amortized over ten yearsis the basis for a patented sampling system product line marketed by Orbital Gas Systems and utilized in many of its integrated solutions.

In 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the intellectual property rights and know-how associated with the VE Technology including patents for 1.5 million British pounds ("GBP"), or approximately $1.8 million. The completion of the acquisition was made upon the final payment towards this agreement. In June 2020, the parties to the agreement mutually agreed to extend the payments until January 15, 2021 in consideration of the financial consequences created by the COVID-19 pandemic in exchange for a technology fee of an additional 100,000 GBP. The Company paid the remaining 500,000 GBP in January 2021. The $1.9 million paid was recorded as an intangible asset upon making the final payment in January 2021 with $0.7 million paid in 2021 and $1.2 million reclassified from long-term deposits. See Note 19 Acquisition for more information on acquisition intangibles included in recent acquisitions during 2021 and 2020.

INVESTMENTS

 

The Company has a minority ownership in Virtual Power Systems ("VPS"). Prior to the third quarter of 2020, based on its equity ownership and that the Company maintains a board seat and participated in operational activities of VPS, the Company maintained significant influence to account for the investment as an equity-method investment. Under the equity method of accounting, results are not consolidated, but the Company records a proportionate percentage of the profit or loss of VPS as an addition to or a subtraction from the VPS investment asset balance. During the nine months ended September 30,2020, the Company recorded a $4.8 million loss on its equity method investment in VPS. The VPS investment basis at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 was $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. With the decrease in ownership percentage following a Q32020 equity raise by VPS and additional board seats placed, OEG no longer has sufficient influence to recognize the investment under the equity method. The investment is held at September 30, 2022 30,2021under the cost method of accounting for investments. 

 

The Company made a purchase of a convertible note receivable for $200 thousand from VPS in the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was increased to $260 thousand in the second quarter of 2020 via payments made to VPS and accrued interest recorded by the Company as part of the transition agreement between the Company and VPS. VPS chose to convert the note receivable to equity in the third quarter of 2020. In addition, the Company made additional cash investments of $0.1 million and a $0.3 million non-cash inventory investment in VPS during the third quarter of 2020 in exchange for additional equity.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EXPENSE

 

Through December 31, 2021, the Company had been vesting a series of stock appreciation rights (SARS) to be settled in cash to certain executives. The SARS were considered liability-classified awards meaning their fair-values were remeasured at the end of each reporting period using a binomial lattice model and any changes in fair value for the vesting periods to-date were recorded through the income statement with a corresponding liability accrued on the balance sheet. Since December 31, 2021, the SARS have been exchanged for restricted stock units (RSUs) on the modification date of January 14, 2022 as approved by the Board of Directors. To account for this exchange, the company revalued the SARS as of the modification date of January 14, 2022 using the binomial lattice model and recorded changes in the vested value since December 31, 2021 as an adjustment to the income statement. The Company records its stock-based compensationthen reclassified the SARS accrued liability to APIC for new RSUs and recognized incremental expense. Shares deemed vested at the modification date were released and issued net of tax in March 2022. The SARS that converted to RSUs, were added to the Company's existing RSU program. The company recorded $1.1 million and $2.4 million of expense on options issued infor RSUs for the past under its stock option plansthree and the Company also issues stock for services and royalties.

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor. The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of: (i) 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 7,153,847 shares of Common Stock and (iii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 16,153,847 shares of Common Stock. The offering price per share and associated prefunded warrants was $1.30 for the shares and $1.2999 for the prefunded warrants. The prefunded warrants were immediately exercisable, had an exercise price of .0001 million) and $2.5 million, respectively, compared with $84 thousand, and $0.1 million, respectively, forwere exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The accompanying warrants have an exercise price of $1.31, and will be exercisable 6-months after their date of issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date.

Common stock warrants are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (ASC Topic 815), as either derivative liabilities or equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.

The Company’s warrants are considered to be derivative warrants, are classified as liabilities, and are recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the related derivative warrant liability. The warrants are classified as Level 3 liabilities (see Note 12 for fair value disclosures.)

Warrants outstanding and warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 30,2020 and was recorded within selling, general and administrative expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.is as follows:

 

The fair value of cash-settled SARs is revalued (mark-to-market) each reporting period using a binomial lattice valuation model based on the company’s period-end stock price. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S treasury yield curve in effect as of the reporting date for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

OnIn October 28,September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"(“ASU”)2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations to enhance transparency about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs. Under the ASU, the buyer in a supplier finance program is required to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a roll-forward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. An entity should also consider whether the existence of a supplier finance program changes the appropriate presentation of the payables in the program from trade payables to borrowings. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard, which is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security should not be considered in measuring fair value. It also requires the following disclosures for equity securities subject to the contractual sale restrictions: 1) the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet; 2) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s); and 3) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). ASU 2022-03 is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively. ASU 2022-03 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

On October 28, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This guidance will require entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This standard was designed to provide consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers. Legacy guidance requires entities to record contract assets and contract liabilities acquired to be recorded at fair value. The amendments will be effective for the Company beginning for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is allowed. If an entity early adopts, the entity would be required to apply the new guidance to all acquisitions made in the year of the early adoption. The Company is still reviewing the standard and as of the reporting date of this filing has not elected to early adopt.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260 (“FASB ASC 260”), “Earnings per Share,” Basic loss from continuing operations per share, basic income from discontinued operations per share and basic net income (loss) per share that is available to shareholders is computed by dividing the income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the respective loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Due to the Company’s loss from continuing operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 30,2021and September 30, 2021, 30,2020,the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants and the unvested restricted stock that would otherwise increase diluted shares using the treasury stock method would have had an antidilutive effect and therefore 0.2 million shares related to stock options, 16.2 million warrants outstanding at September 30, 20212022 and 24.6 million shares of restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 30,2021and 0.80.2 million shares related to stock options outstanding at September 30, 2021 30,2020were excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.2021 and 2.3 million shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Accordingly, diluted earnings (loss) per share for continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income is the same as basic earnings (loss) per share for continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 30,2021and 2020.2021.

Overview

Orbital EnergyInfrastructure Group is a platformdiversified infrastructure services company serving customers in the electric power, telecommunications, and renewable markets. The Company is dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through greenfield development and the acquisition of, and investment in successful, entrepreneurial led companies to profitably grow revenues by providing end-to-end solutions to customers, primarily in the renewable, electric power transmission and distribution, and telecommunications infrastructure markets. Orbital Energy Group’sThe Company is organized in three segments. The Electric Power segment consists of Front Line Power Construction, LLC based in Houston, Texas, Orbital Power, Inc. based in Dallas, Texas, and Solar Infrastructure ServicesEclipse Foundation Group based in Gonzales, Louisiana. The segment provides comprehensive networkinfrastructure solutions to customers in the electric power telecommunicationsindustry. Services performed by Front Line Power and solar industries. This segment includes Orbital Power, Services, Orbital Solar Services, and Orbital Telecom Services. The Company started its Orbital Power Services operations during the first three months of 2020 as a full-service provider of building, maintenance and supportInc. generally include but are not limited to the electricalengineering, design, installation, upgrade, repair and maintenance of electric power transmission and distribution transmission,infrastructure and substation renewables, andfacilities as well as emergency response sectors of North America.restoration services. Eclipse Foundation Group, Inc., which began operations in January 2021, within Orbital Power Services, is a drilled shaft foundation construction company that specializes in providing services to the electric transmission and substation, industrial, communication towerstelecommunication and disaster restoration market sectors, with expertise performing services in water, marsh and rock terrains. In the third quarter of 2022, in order to streamline operations, the Eclipse business was integrated into Front Line Power Construction, LLC, and ceased to be a separate business unit.

The Telecommunications segment consists of Gibson Technical Services (GTS) along with its subsidiaries IMMCO, Inc. based in Atlanta, Georgia and Full Moon Telecom, LLC based in Florida. GTS provides engineering, design, construction, and maintenance services to the broadband and wireless telecommunication industries and was acquired by the Company effective April 13, 2021. IMMCO, Inc. provides enterprise solutions to the cable and telecommunication industries and was acquired by the Company effective July 28, 2021. Full Moon Telecom, LLC provides telecommunication services including an extensive array of wireless service capabilities and was acquired by the Company effective October 22, 2021. Coax Fiber Solutions was acquired as of March 7, 2022, and is a Georgia based GDOT Certified contractor specializing in Aerial Installation, directional drilling, trenching, plowing, and missile crews for telecommunications, power, gas, water, CCTV, ATMS, and traffic signal cable installation.

Orbital Solar Services, (formerly Reach Construction Group, LLC) as of April 1, 2020, whichLLC (OSS), based in Raleigh, North Carolina, makes up the Renewables segment. OSS provides engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) services that support the development of renewable energy generation focused on utility scaleutility-scale solar and community solar projects. Orbital Telecom was launched through the acquisition of GTS in April 2021 and expanded its service offerings in July 2021 with the acquisition of IMMCO. The Telecom group provided both topside and bottom line benefits to the Company since acquisition.construction. 

 

The Company has moreexperienced rapid growth through organic growth and acquisitions as the Company benefits from its 2021 investments and acquisitions and as the economy continues to emerge from the COVID-19 induced slowdown. Third quarter 2022 revenue was over four times greater than doubled its third-quarter revenue year over year and has also more than doubled its revenue for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the similar period in 2020. This has been accomplished through the Company's total revenue from the third quarter of 2021. Improved revenues and income were a result of the inclusion of operations from the November acquisition and organic growth efforts. However, ramp-up costs at Orbitalof Front Line Power Services contributed to lower margins and increased SG&AConstruction in the Electric Power segment and Solar Infrastructure Servicescontinued growth in the Telecommunications segment duringacquired in the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021. The Company also continued to incur professional fees related to mergers and acquisitions as the Company continues to pursue both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. The Company's Integrated Energy Infrastructure SolutionsTelecommunications segment made an additional "tuck-in" acquisition in the first quarter of 2022 for cash and Services Segment include subsidiaries, Orbital Gas Systems, Ltd., and Orbital Gas Systems, North America, Inc., which are leaders in innovative gas solutions with more than 30 yearsstock consideration of experience in design, installation andapproximately $0.9 million.

During the commissioning of industrial gas sampling, measurement and delivery systems providing solutions to the energy, power and processing markets. Orbital Gas Systems manufactures and delivers a broad range of technologies including environmental monitoring, gas metering, process control, telemetry, gas sampling and BioMethane. The three-and nine-month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2022, the Company began to see tangible benefits for all segments from the investments the Company made in 2021 for both segments continuethrough improved revenue. These benefits were offset by sub-contractor labor and material cost over-runs at OSS's Black Bear project that is projected to face headwinds duebe completed by the end of the year. The Company is in the midst of a reset of its solar business. The solar reset should not materially change the revenue mix in the near term. Given some of the recent legislation and executive order, solar projects that had been delayed are now likely to be opportunities in 2023 and beyond. As the Company moves away from providing engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") services to being a specialized contractor providing skilled resources to EPC companies, the Company will benefit from a reduced risk profile that comes with being an EPC, and margins will be enhanced as we will not share profits or losses with our joint venture partners as we are now required to do. 

The Company's results were affected negatively in the first nine months of 2022 by the $29.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic that has caused economic slowdowns throughoutCompany's seller financed debt on the world, but economic activity has begunNovember 2021 Front Line Construction acquisition and stock-based payments made against its investor held debt for which the stock was issued at a discount to improve and backlogs are strongthe stock's fair value.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company incurred ramp-up costs in the Electric Power and Solar Infrastructure segment. 

Insegment that put downward pressure on margins in the first halfthird quarter of 2020, the2021.The Company launched Orbital Power Services. The first nine months of 2020 included set up costs related to Orbital Power Services and the establishment of the Company's shared services center in Dallas, Texas as well as elevatedalso incurred professional fees related to mergers and acquisitions as the Company pivoted from its legacy Power and Electromechanical business that was divested infinalized the second halfacquisition of 2019 with the remaining Canada and Japan business being divested in 2020.GTS. The second quarter of 2020 wasthree-month period ended September 30, 2021, for both segments were also negatively affected by generally lower economic activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic that caused economic slowdowns throughout the world, which hampered growth in its electric power and solar infrastructure ventures. The first nine months of 2020 also included a $4.8 million net loss of affiliate in Virtual Power Systems ("VPS"), respectively primarily as a result of a $3.5 million impairment loss on the investment in the three months ended June 30, 2020. world.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, Orbital EnergyInfrastructure Group, Inc. had a consolidated loss from continuing operations of $11.7$141.6 million and $47.3$208.3 million, respectively, compared to a consolidated loss from continuing operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021, of $6.3$9.5 million and $20.6 million. $34.1 million, respectively. 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, Orbital Energy Group, Inc. had a consolidated loss from continuing operations of $10.1 million and $36.3 million, respectively compared to a loss of $5.7 million and $22.6 million, respectively, in the comparable prior-year period.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, Orbital EnergyInfrastructure Group, Inc. had a consolidated net loss of $10.1$210.8 million and $36.3 million, respectively, compared to a consolidated net loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021, of $3.2 million and $19.9 million, respectively.$36.3 million. The greater net loss for the threenine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, was primarily the result of stock-based compensation, start-up costs related to Orbital Powerimpairments on goodwill, intangibles, and ongoing merger and acquisition activity.  Partially offsetting these costs were $9.0 million tax benefitfinancing leased assets, the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the acquisitionloan modification of GTSthe seller financed debt, and increased interest expense related to acquisitions financed by debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $2.5 million tax benefit related to the acquisitionsecond half of IMMCO. These tax benefits partially offset higher cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") in the Electric Power and Solar Infrastructure Services and Integrated Energy Infrastructure segments. Cost increases were associated with the inclusion of IMMCO since its July 28, 2021 acquisition, GTS since its April 13, 2021 acquisition and the inclusion of the Orbital Solar Services business since its April 1, 2020 acquisition, including amortization costs on IMMCO, GTS and Orbital Solar Service's acquisition intangibles, the ramp up of the Orbital Power Services operations, and stock-based compensation. As the Company adds new service crews in the Orbital Power Services business, there is a certain amount of upfront costs related to that, including equipment, supplies and training before the new crews can start generating income for the Company. As the Company aggressively has ramped up the Orbital Power Services business, it has absorbed more of these type set-up costs than it will need to once all teams are in place and operating at full capacity. SG&A cost increases in the Other segment relate to vesting and mark to market adjustments on cash-based executive stock appreciation rights and employee performance bonus payments as well as continuing merger and acquisition costs. 2021.

 

Revenues from continuing operations increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022, due to the continued ramp-up of Orbitalthe Electric Power Services and Renewables segments along with the additionsaddition of GTS, IMMCOthe Telecommunications segment which was assembled via acquisitions starting in the second quarter of 2021 and Orbital Solar Services. continuing into 2022.

The revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022, increased compared to the 20202021 comparable periodperiods primarily due to the additions of
Orbital Telecom Servicesthe Telecommunications segment following the acquisitions of GTS in Q2 and2021, IMMCO in Q3 2021, Full Moon in Q4 2021 and Orbital Solar ServicesCoax Fiber Solutions, LLC in Q2 2020 as well asQ1 2022 along with the ramp upacquisition of Front Line Power Construction, LLC, included in the Company's Electric Power segment, added in Q4 2021. In addition, Orbital Power Services operations including a significant amount of storm-related work in the quarterInc. in the Electric Power and Solar Infrastructure Services segment. In addition, the Integrated Energy Infrastructure Solutions and Services segment increasedhas continued to ramp up operations in 2022. Renewables had significantly higher revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022, on the strength of several large projects compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, due to significantly higher revenue in our U.K. operationswhich was affected by supply chain issues and slightly higher revenue ina general slow-down caused by the North American operations.
COVID-19 epidemic.

 
The U.K. operations saw a rebound following a 2020 year slowed by Covid and Brexit. The U.S. markets continues to face headwinds surrounding COVID-19. Revenues will fluctuate generally around the timing of customer project delivery schedules.

The Electric Power and Solar Infrastructure Services Segment held backlogs of customer orders of approximately $399.9$226.8 million as of September 30, 20212022, and $30.3$207.7 million at December 31, 2020.2021. The increase in backlog is generally due to timing of master service agreement renewals. The Telecommunications segment held backlogs of customer orders of approximately $209.2 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to a backlog of $194.5 million at December 31, 2021. Increases to the backlog are due to the acquisitions andcontinuous growth of Orbital Telecom, the ramp upGibson Technical Services. The Renewables segment had a backlog of the Orbital Power Services operations and an improved Orbital Solar Services backlog compared to December 31, 2020. The Integrated Energy Infrastructure Solutions and Services segment held backlogs of customer orders of approximately $10.7$36.3 million as of September 30, 2021, an increase from the2022 compared to $121.4 million as of December 31, 2020 backlog of $10.1 million2021 which is due to the improvementfurther work being completed and revenue being recognized in the business climate in both the U.S. and U.K. markets.quarter on projects that make up this backlog.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased to 88% and 98% respectively105.9% from 83% and 85%, respectively90.7% from the prior-year period primarily due to the significant cost overruns at the Black Bear solar project in the Renewables segment in the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue decreased to 94.1% from 107.4% from the prior-year period. This increasedecrease was primarily in the Electric Power and Solar Infrastructure Services segment and was attributable to ramp-up of revenues in the segment both organically and the addition of Front Line Power Construction and was partially offset by lower margins in the Renewables segment due to cost overruns in the Black Bear solar project. The Black Bear project had negative gross margins of $18.8 million and $22.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, the Company had a loss provision of $3.8 million for estimated future losses on the Black Bear contract. Margin percentages will vary based upon the mix of projects including emergency response services, new crew onboarding costs, and the competitive markets in which the Company competes.

The three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were affected by start-up costs at the Company's Orbital Power Services group, and lower margin projects during the period for Orbital Solar Services.Services and was also affected negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting world-wide economic slowdown. Ramp-up costs have included onboarding personnel, equipment and supplies in advance of projected work in order to obtain the necessary resources in a competitive market as we preparethe Company prepared for forward demand expectations. Additionally, adverse weather negatively impacted several of OrbitalElectric Power Services' fixed price jobs in the first quarter of 2021, which are now complete. Margin percentages will vary based upon the mix of natural gas systems sold, proprietary technology included in projects, contract labor necessary to complete gas related projects, mix of Orbital Power Services projects including emergency response services, new crew onboarding costs, Orbital Solar Services solar projects, the competitive markets in which the Company competes, and foreign exchange rates.

The three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were affected by start-up costs at the Company's Orbital Power Services group, lower margin projects during the period for Orbital Solar Service and was also affected negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting world-wide economic slowdown.of 2021.

 

The Company expects continued improvement in margins during the remainder of 20212022 as Orbitalthe Electric Power Servicessegment continues to gain efficiencies and increase revenues, Orbital Telecom Servicesand the Telecommunications segment sees continued synergistic benefits from the acquisitions of GTS, IMMCO, Full Moon, and IMMCO, as companies continue to learn to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, and several large Orbital Solar Services solar projects begin. Coax Fiber Solutions.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses include such items as wages, commissions, consulting, general office expenses, business promotion expenses and costs of being a public company, including legal and accounting fees, insurance and investor relations. SG&A expenses are generally associated with the ongoing activities to reach new customers, promote new product and service lines including Orbital Gas Systems, Orbitalfor the Electric Power Services, Orbital Solar Services, Orbital Telecom Servicessegment, Renewables segment, and other new product and service introductions.Telecommunications segments.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, SG&A increased $1.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to organic growth and the Company's 2021 and 2022 acquisitions. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022 SG&A decreased $3.7 million compared to the prior-year comparative periods. The decrease in SG&A for the nine month period was primarily due to decreased SG&A costs in the Renewables segment due to the $5.2 million restricted stock forfeiture related to a Renewables' Executive termination in Q1 2022 and higher stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the restricted stock vesting expense recorded in 2021 on the restricted stock that was subsequently forfeited in the first quarter of 2022. Also contributing to the decreased SG&A was lower executive bonuses in Q1 2022 and a $0.3 million positive cash settled SARS mark-to-market fair value adjustment in 2022 compared to a $2.5 million mark-to-market expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These decreases were partially offset by increases in SG&A in the Electric Power and Telecommunications segments primarily due to organic growth and the Company's 2021 and 2022 acquisitions. 

Impairments of goodwill and intangible assets

The Company recorded $100.3 million of impairments of goodwill and intangible assets in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, SG&A increased $6.5 million2022 due to an additional 25-percent drop in the Company's stock price between June 30, 2022 and $22.7 million, respectively, comparedSeptember 30, 2022, that caused an overall further decrease in the Company's market capitalization. Additional triggering events included the significant loss in the Renewables segment in the third quarter of 2022, interest rate increases and limitations on accessing capital, which raised substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 1 for more information on goodwill and goodwill impairments.

Restructuring Costs

In September 2022, the Company fully impaired its finance lease equipment related to the prior-year comparative periods. The increase in SG&A for the quarter and year-to-date periods were due to increased SG&A costsEclipse Foundation Group in the Electric Power segment, which was integrated by Front Line Power. These pieces of equipment are drilling specific and Solar Infrastructure Services segment primarily dueat this time, the Company does not plan to ramp-up costs at Orbital Power Services group, which included increased payroll and insurance costs and start-up costs at Eclipse Foundation Group, as well as $1.4 million and $8.0 million of employee stock-based compensation vesting expense,use the equipment for the three and nine month periods, respectively.  The addition of GTS in April 2021, IMMCO in July 2021, and Orbital Solar Services in April 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2020, which only included Orbital Solar Services for sixremaining term of the nine months ended September 30, 2020, also contributedleases. As these leases are non-cancelable and do not include a sub-leasing option, the full finance lease assets related to Eclipse have been removed from the increase in SG&A costs.

Equity Method/Cost Method Investment

The Company owns a cost-basis investment in VPS with a book value at September 30, 2021 of $1.1 million. Through June 30, 2020, the Company accounted for its investment in VPS under the equity method of accounting and accordingly recorded income or loss of affiliate based on the equity method of accounting. The Company recorded losses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 of zero and $4.8 million, respectively, related to its share of VPS's loss. Due to additional outside investments into VPS during the third quarter of 2020, which diluted OEG's ownership percentage coupled with increased board seats reducing OEG's board influence, the Company's management determined that it no longer met the qualification of having significant influence necessary to record its investment under the equity method of accounting. Following this change, the Company has recorded its investment under the cost method of accounting. There were no changes in the basis in the Company's investment in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Restructuring Charges

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company completed the sale of its largest group within the Power and Electromechanical segment. The Company completed the sale of its Japan operations as of September 30, 2020 and completed the disposal of Canada's assets in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company recorded an accrued liability of $4.0 million Canadian dollars ($3.1 million US dollars at December 31, 2019) for estimated employee termination costs. This accrual was adjusted down by $0.3 million Canadian dollars ($0.2 million US dollars) in 2020 based on updated estimates. The termination costs began to be paid out in the third quarter of 2020 and the majority of the remaining accrual was paid in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company paid out an additional $0.3 million of termination benefits in the first nine months of 2021 and expect to pay the remaining $28 thousand during the remainder of 2021. For more information on the Company's restructuring charges, see Note 1 Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Company Conditions under the Restructuring Charges subheading.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Company Conditions and Sources of Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses, cash outflows from cash used in operating activities and a decline in share value over the past years. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $421.4 million, loss from continuing operations of $208.3 million, and net cash used in operating activities of $13.4 million. Further, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $118.7 million, including current maturities of debt, and cash and cash equivalents of $28.0 million available for working capital needs and planned capital asset expenditures.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its obligations and fund its operations for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has plans to access additional capital to meet its obligations for the twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. Historically, the Company has raised additional equity and debt financing to fund its expansion; refer to Note 16 — Notes Payable and Line of Credit. The Company has also funded some of its capital expenditures through long-term financing with lenders and other investors as also described in further detail in Note 16 — Notes Payable and Line of Credit. Our ability to raise the additional capital is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock, which itself is subject to a number of business risks and uncertainties, our creditworthiness and the uncertainty that we would be able to raise such additional capital at a price that is favorable to us. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement for the issuance of various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants in the aggregate of up to $68.8 million. In addition, although no formal agreements exist, the company has solicited interest from various lenders to potentially raise additional term debt to restructure or refinance its existing notes.

The Company plans to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months by raising additional capital through equity and debt financing sources and forecasted positive cash flows generated from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in executing these plans. If unsuccessful, the Company will not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to repay its indebtedness when it matures, or otherwise meet its cash requirements over the next twelve months, as noted above.

 

General

As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $11.2$28.0 million and restricted cash of $1.2$0.6 million. Operations, investments, and equipment have been funded through cash on hand, the issuance of common stock authorized by its July 2020 and February 2021 S-3 filings, seller financing, and the issuance of debt and financing through the sale of future revenues.

Long-term liquidity is expected to benefit from revenue growth and earnings through its existing operations. Overall volume growth in the Company's businesses both organically and through acquisitions are expected to benefit cash flows as well.

 

Cash Used in Operations

IncreasedThe decrease in uses of cash in the first nine months of 20212022 are primarily forrelated to higher merger and acquisition costs associated with mergers and acquisitions in the Electric Powerfirst quarter of 2021 as compared to 2022 along with company growth in 2022. Due to the large increase in revenue and Solar Infrastructure Services segment in additionassociated costs both through acquisitions and organic growth, the Company was better able to normal administrativecover it's fixed costs, ramp-upbut increased interest costs partially offset the benefits of much greater sales. Also, with the growth of the company's revenue comes increased accounts receivables and accounts payable, which outside of timing, generally have offsetting cash flow effects. In the short-term, rapid growth can have a detrimental effect on cash flows as sales on account with positive gross margins waiting to be collected exceed accounts payable not yet paid. As the Company's Orbital Power Services group, and cash used by Orbital Solar Services operations. The Company believes that revenue generated by recent Orbital Telecom Services acquisitions Gibson Technical Services and IMMCO, Inc. will improve cash flow from operating activities. While the Company saw an initial cost increase from Orbital Power Services, management expects these groupsgrowth begins to become cash flow positive, as the business environment normalizes and the Company continues to increase revenue-generating service crews deployed. The Company believesmoderate, overall cash used in operations will continue to improve through revenue growth associated with new customers and larger projects, the additional cash expected from operations of Orbital Solar Services when it begins work on contracts with solar developers including performing as company "of choice" for the recently-formed Black Sunrise Century Fund, which over the next three years is expected to build over 1 gigawatt of solar power. 

projects. The change in cash used in operating activities since December 31, 2021, exclusive of net loss, is primarily the result of the following line items: payment towards accounts payable increased cash used in operating activities by $2.5 million, increased cash used for right of use assets, which are partially offset by increased lease liabilities related to the ramp up of the Orbital Power Services group.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a total of $9.8 million and $12 thousand, respectively, for share-based compensation related to equity given, or to be given to directors, employees and consultants for services provided and as payment for royalties earned. The increase in expense during the first nine months of 20212022 compared to the first nine months of 2020 is primarily due to employee stock-based bonuses and increased director stock-based compensation in 2021 compared to director stock-based compensation in the nine months of 2020 when director compensation was being accrued as cash compensation while the structure of their compensation was being evaluated. During the nine months ended the Company recorded $11.2 million of non-cash deferred tax benefits as a result of the acquisition of GTS and IMMCO, which allowed the Company to utilize deferred tax assets that had been fully reserved. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of $2.5 million on unsettled stock appreciation rights held by corporate officers that will be settled in cash at a future date. 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company has adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals,Principles, ("GAAP"). Certain of the Company's accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. In the Company's 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2021,31, 2022, the Company identified the critical accounting policies that affect the Company's more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

 

The Company is exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the Company’s financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. This market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company neither holds nor issues financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

The following sections provide quantitative information on the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company makes use of sensitivity analyses that are inherently limited in estimating actual losses in fair value that can occur from changes in market conditions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Company conducts continuing operations in two principal currencies: the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling. These currencies operate primarily as the functional currency for the Company’s U.S. and U.K. operations, respectively. Cash is managed centrally within each of the two regions.

Because of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the Company is subject to currency translation exposure on the results of its operations. Foreign currency translation risk is the risk that exchange rate gains or losses arise from translating foreign entities’ statements of earnings and balance sheets from functional currency to the Company’s reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, for consolidation purposes. As currency exchange rates fluctuate, translation of the Company’s statements of operations into U.S. dollars affects the comparability of revenues and operating expenses between years.

Revenues and operating expenses from continuing operations are primarily denominated in the currencies of the countries in which the Company’s operations are located, the U.S. and U.K. The Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The tables below detail the percentage of revenues and expenses from continuing operations by the two principal currencies:

To date, the Company has not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk and have limited activity with forward foreign currency contracts or other similar derivative instruments. The Company believes that during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the effect of a hypothetical 100 basis point shift in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to the Company’s business would not have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Brexit Risk

On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom (“UK”) formally withdrew from the European Union (“EU”), entering a transitional period which came to an end on December 31, 2020. During this transitional period, EU law continued to apply in the UK while providing time for the UK and EU to negotiate the details of their future relationship. Now that the transition has ended, the two sides are free to negotiate new trade agreements. The impact of the withdrawal may adversely affect business activity, political stability and economic conditions in the UK, the European Union and elsewhere. The economic conditions and outlook could be further adversely affected by the uncertainty concerning new or modified trading arrangements between the UK and other countries. Any of these developments could negatively affect economic growth or business activity in the UK, the European Union and elsewhere, and could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. We continue to closely monitor the negotiations and the impact to foreign currency markets, however we cannot predict the direction of Brexit-related developments or the impact of those developments on our UK operations and the economies of the markets in which we operate.

 

Investment Risk

The Company has an Investment Policy that, among other things,inter alia, provides an internal control structure that takes into consideration safety (credit risk and interest rate risk), liquidity and yield. The Company’s investment committee consists of two independent DirectorsOur Investment officers, CEO and the CFO, who oversee the investment portfolio and compile a quarterly analysis of the investment portfolio if any investments exist during the period.

Investments made bywhen applicable for internal use. In addition, the Company are subjecthas an Investment Committee to administer and operate the portfolio. At September 30, 2022, the Investment committee CharterCommittee is comprised of C. Stephen Cochennet, Corey A. Lambrecht, Chairman, and investment policy, which limits the Company’s risk of loss exposure by setting appropriate credit quality requirements for investments held, limiting maturities to be 1 year or less, and also setting appropriate concentration levels to prevent concentrations. This includes a requirement that no more than 3% of the portfolio, or $0.5 million, whichever is greater, may be invested in one particular issue. In 2019, since the investment in VPS was considered a strategic investment, the board and management reviewed and approved the investment above the board set limit for individual issuers.Nicholas M. Grindstaff, CFO.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are diversified and maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.

Additionally,See Note 17 of the Company has a largeCompany's financial statements for more information on the Company's concentration of cash, trade receivables and revenues in foreign countries including the United Kingdom.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures. 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s management is required to apply their judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and the CFO, concluded that, as of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.effective.

 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company, including certain of its subsidiaries, implemented an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, in order to update existing technology and to integrate, simplify and standardize processes among the Company and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, we have made changes to our internal controls to address systems and/or processes impacted by the ERP implementation. Neither the ERP implementation nor the related control changes were undertaken in response to any deficiencies in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Other than as discussed above, thereThere have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The following risk factor was added during the three months ended September 30, 2021:

Potential government imposed COVID-19 vaccine mandates could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

On September 9, 2021, President Biden directed the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") to issue an Emergency Temporary Standard requiring that all employers with at least 100 employees ensure that their employeesThere are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 or require employees to obtain a negative COVID-19 test at least once a week and wear a mask while in the workplace. On November 4, 2021, it was announced that the mask mandate deadline is December 5, 2021 and by January 4, 2022 companies must require their workers to be fully vaccinated or submit to weekly coronavirus testing. It is unclear, among other things, how compliance will be documented and enforced but could include investigating complaints through OSHA's whistle-blower system and penalties. As a company with more than 100 employees, we will be required to mandate COVID-19 vaccination of our workforce or have our unvaccinated employees undergo required weekly COVID-19 testing.

Any requirement to mandate COVID-19 vaccination of our workforce or require our unvaccinated employees to be tested weekly could result in employee attrition and difficulty securing future labor needs, and may have an adverse effect on our future revenues, costs and results of operations.

There were no other material changes from Risk Factors as previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 30, 2021.31, 2022.
