Nature of Operations | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
References to the “Company,” “EMCOR,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar words refer to EMCOR Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. | |
We are one of the largest electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services firms in the United States. In addition, we provide a number of building services and industrial services. We specialize principally in providing construction services relating to electrical and mechanical systems in all types of non-residential and certain residential facilities and in providing various services relating to the operation, maintenance and management of facilities, including refineries and petrochemical plants. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |||||||
Principles of Consolidation | ||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All investments over which we exercise significant influence, but do not control (a 20% to 50% ownership interest), are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, we participate in a joint venture with another company, and we have consolidated this joint venture as we have determined that through our participation we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation”. | ||||||||
For joint ventures that have been accounted for using the consolidation method of accounting, noncontrolling interest represents the allocation of earnings to our joint venture partners who either have a minority-ownership interest in the joint venture or are not at risk for the majority of losses of the joint venture. | ||||||||
The results of operations of companies acquired have been included in the results of operations from the date of the respective acquisition. | ||||||||
Principles of Preparation | ||||||||
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. | ||||||||
During the third quarter of 2014, we ceased construction operations in the United Kingdom. The results of the construction operations of our United Kingdom segment for all periods are presented as discontinued operations. The segment formally named the United Kingdom construction and building services segment has been renamed the United Kingdom building services segment. | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||
Revenues from long-term construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Certain of our electrical contracting business units measure percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract. Pre-contract costs from our construction projects are generally expensed as incurred. Revenues from the performance of services for maintenance, repair and retrofit work are recognized consistent with the performance of the services, which are generally on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contractual arrangement. Expenses related to all services arrangements are recognized as incurred. Revenues related to the engineering, manufacturing and repairing of shell and tube heat exchangers are recognized when the product is shipped and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Costs related to this work are included in inventory until the product is shipped. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term construction contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on certain contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for the entirety of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. During 2013, we recognized aggregate losses of approximately $24.5 million associated with two contracts within the United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment as a result of a change in contract estimates. There were no significant losses recognized in 2014. | ||||||||
Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts | ||||||||
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues have been recognized but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of a contract. Also included in costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and/or price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Such amounts are recorded at estimated net realizable value when realization is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No profit is recognized on construction costs incurred in connection with claim amounts. Claims and unapproved change orders made by us involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation. In the event litigation costs are incurred by us in connection with claims or unapproved change orders, such litigation costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs. We believe that we have established legal bases for pursuing recovery of our recorded unapproved change orders and claims, and it is management’s intention to pursue and litigate such claims, if necessary, until a determination or settlement is reached. Unapproved change orders and claims also involve the use of estimates, and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated recoverable amounts of recorded claims and unapproved change orders may be made in the near term. If we do not successfully resolve these matters, a net expense (recorded as a reduction in revenues) may be required, in addition to amounts that may have been previously provided for. We record the profit associated with the settlement of claims upon receipt of final payment. There was no significant profit recognized from settlements or payment of claims in 2014 and 2013. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably determinable. | ||||||||

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included unbilled revenues for unapproved change orders of approximately $18.8 million and $19.2 million, respectively, and claims of approximately $3.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In addition, accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 included claims of approximately $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Additionally, there are contractually billed amounts and retention related to such contracts of $54.0 million and $56.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Generally, contractually billed amounts will not be paid by the customer to us until final resolution of related claims. | ||||||||
Classification of Contract Amounts | ||||||||
In accordance with industry practice, we classify as current all assets and liabilities relating to the performance of long-term contracts. The term of our contracts ranges from one month to four years and, accordingly, collection or payment of amounts relating to these contracts may extend beyond one year. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 and 2013 included $177.8 million and $189.7 million, respectively, of retainage billed under terms of our contracts. We estimate that approximately 87% of this retainage will be collected during 2015. Accounts payable at December 31, 2014 and 2013 included $35.7 million and $47.0 million, respectively, of retainage withheld under terms of the contracts. We estimate that approximately 95% of this retainage will be paid during 2015. | ||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | ||||||||
For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, we consider all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain a centralized cash management system whereby our excess cash balances are invested in high quality, short-term money market instruments, which are considered cash equivalents. We have cash balances in certain of our domestic bank accounts that exceed federally insured limits. | ||||||||
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ||||||||
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts. This allowance is based upon the best estimate of the probable losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowances based upon individual accounts when information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet their financial obligations, as well as historical collection and write-off experience. These amounts are re-evaluated and adjusted on a regular basis as additional information is received. Actual write-offs are charged against the allowance when collection efforts have been unsuccessful. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, our accounts receivable of $1,234.2 million and $1,268.2 million, respectively, included allowances for doubtful accounts of $10.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts during 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to approximately $2.9 million, $3.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. | ||||||||
Inventories | ||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally using the average cost method. | ||||||||
Property, plant and equipment | ||||||||
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation, including amortization of assets under capital leases, is recorded principally using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 3 to 7 years for vehicles, furniture and fixtures and computer hardware/software and 25 years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease term or the expected service life of the improvement. | ||||||||
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. In performing this review for recoverability, property, plant and equipment is assessed for possible impairment by comparing their carrying values to their undiscounted net pre-tax cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. Impaired assets are written down to their fair values, generally determined based on their estimated future discounted cash flows. Based on the results of our testing for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no impairment of property, plant and equipment was recognized. | ||||||||
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets | ||||||||
Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not being amortized, such as trade names, are tested at least annually for impairment (which we test each October 1, absent any impairment indicators) and are written down if impaired. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable. See Note 8 - Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information. | ||||||||
Insurance Liabilities | ||||||||
Our insurance liabilities are determined actuarially based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the estimated current portion of undiscounted insurance liabilities of $28.8 million and $29.2 million, respectively, were included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated non-current portion of the undiscounted insurance liabilities included in “Other long-term obligations” at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $106.3 million and $112.8 million, respectively. | ||||||||
Foreign Operations | ||||||||
The financial statements and transactions of our foreign subsidiaries are maintained in their functional currency and translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Translation adjustments have been recorded as “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, a separate component of “Equity”. | ||||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||||
We account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. | ||||||||
We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. We recognize accruals of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision. | ||||||||
Valuation of Share-Based Compensation Plans | ||||||||
We have various types of share-based compensation plans and programs, which are administered by our Board of Directors or its Compensation and Personnel Committee. See Note 13 - Share-Based Compensation Plans of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the share-based compensation plans and programs. | ||||||||
We account for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. For shares subject to graded vesting, our policy is to apply the straight-line method in recognizing compensation expense. ASC 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash inflow, rather than as an operating cash inflow on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows. | ||||||||
New Accounting Pronouncements | ||||||||
In May 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with no early adoption permitted. The guidance permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on our financial position and/or results of operations. | ||||||||
In April 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update existing guidance on discontinued operations. This guidance raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This pronouncement is aimed at reducing the frequency of disposals reported as discontinued operations by focusing on strategic shifts that have or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this pronouncement as of January 1, 2015, and we will consider this guidance in conjunction with future disposals, if any. |

Acquisitions Of Businesses | ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES |
On July 29, 2013, we completed the acquisition of RSI. This acquisition expands and strengthens our service offerings to new and existing customers and enhances our position within the industrial services and energy market sectors. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100% of RSI’s stock for total consideration of $463.6 million. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand and $250.0 million from borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. We acquired working capital of $35.5 million and other net liabilities of $67.1 million, and have ascribed $267.8 million to goodwill and $227.4 million to identifiable intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of RSI, which has been included in our United States industrial services segment. We expect that $49.0 million of acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. | |
On December 2, 2013, May 31, 2013 and January 4, 2012, we acquired three companies, each for an immaterial amount. These companies primarily provide mechanical construction services and have been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. The purchase price for the acquisition of these businesses was finalized with an insignificant impact. The acquisition of these businesses was accounted for by the acquisition method, and the prices paid for them have been allocated to their respective assets and liabilities, based upon the estimated fair values of their respective assets and liabilities at the dates of their respective acquisitions. We believe these businesses further expand our service capabilities into new geographical and/or technical areas. | |
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded an increase of $0.6 million of liabilities resulting in non-cash expense attributable to contingent consideration arrangements relating to prior acquisitions. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, we recorded a net reversal of $6.8 million and $6.4 million of liabilities resulting in non-cash income attributable to contingent consideration arrangements relating to prior acquisitions. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Goodwill and Indentifiable Intangible Assets | GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS | |||||||||||||||||||
Goodwill at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $834.1 million and $834.8 million, respectively, and reflects the excess of cost over fair market value of net identifiable assets of companies acquired. Goodwill attributable to companies acquired in 2013 has been valued at $268.3 million. No companies were acquired in 2014. ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, such as trade names, but instead tested at least annually for impairment (which we test each October 1, absent any impairment indicators) and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives. As of December 31, 2014, approximately 46.1% of our goodwill related to our United States industrial services segment, approximately 27.4% of our goodwill related to our United States building services segment, approximately 26.0% related to our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and approximately 0.5% related to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. | ||||||||||||||||||||
We test for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 17, “Segment Information”, of the notes to consolidated financial statements. In assessing whether our goodwill is impaired, we utilize the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. The weighted average cost of capital used in our annual testing for impairment as of October 1, 2014 was 12.2%, 12.8% and 11.2% for our domestic construction segments, our United States building services segment and our United States industrial services segment, respectively. The perpetual growth rate used for our annual testing was 2.7% for all of our domestic segments. Unfavorable changes in these key assumptions may affect future testing results and cause us to fail step one of the goodwill impairment testing process. For example, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 50 basis point increase in the weighted average costs of capital would cause the estimated fair value of our United Stated industrial services segment to approach its carrying value. A 50 basis point increase in the weighted average costs of capital would not significantly reduce the excess of the estimated fair value compared to the carrying value for any of our other domestic segments. In addition, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 50 basis point reduction in the perpetual growth rate would not significantly reduce the excess of the estimated fair value compared to the carrying value for any of our domestic segments. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no impairment of our goodwill was recognized. | ||||||||||||||||||||
We also test for the impairment of trade names that are not subject to amortization by calculating the fair value using the “relief from royalty payments” methodology. This approach involves two steps: (a) estimating reasonable royalty rates for each trade name and (b) applying these royalty rates to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each trade name. If the carrying amount of the trade name is greater than the implied fair value of the trade name, an impairment in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. The annual impairment review of our trade names for the year ended December 31, 2014 resulted in a $1.5 million non-cash impairment charge as a result of a change in the fair value of subsidiary trade names associated with certain prior acquisitions reported within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and our United States building services segment. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment of our trade names was recognized. | ||||||||||||||||||||
In addition, we review for the impairment of other identifiable intangible assets that are being amortized whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable. This test compares their carrying values to the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If the assets are impaired, the assets are written down to their fair values, generally determined based on their future discounted cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no impairment of our other identifiable intangible assets was recognized. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Our development of the present value of future cash flow projections used in impairment testing is based upon assumptions and estimates by management from a review of our operating results, business plans, anticipated growth rates and margins and weighted average cost of capital, among others. Those assumptions and estimates can change in future periods, and other factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, such as interest rates. There can be no assurances that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding future business performance plans or anticipated growth rates and/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required to record goodwill and/or identifiable intangible asset impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such a charge would be material. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Credit Facilities | ||||||||
Until November 25, 2013, we had a revolving credit agreement (the “2011 Credit Agreement”) as amended, which provided for a revolving credit facility of $750.0 million. The 2011 Credit Agreement was effective November 21, 2011. Effective November 25, 2013, we amended and restated the 2011 Credit Agreement to provide for a $750.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $350.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) (collectively referred to as the “2013 Credit Agreement”) expiring November 25, 2018. The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to repay amounts drawn under the 2011 Credit Agreement. We may increase the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility to $1.05 billion if additional lenders are identified and/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments; and we may allocate up to $250.0 million of available borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility to letters of credit for our account or for the account of our subsidiaries. The 2013 Credit Agreement is guaranteed by most of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of our assets and most of the assets of most of our subsidiaries. The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan contain various covenants providing for, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain limitations on payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness and capital expenditures. A commitment fee is payable on the average daily unused amount under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility, which ranges from 0.20% to 0.30%, based on certain financial tests. The fee was 0.20% of the unused amount as of December 31, 2014. Borrowings under the 2013 Credit Agreement bear interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (3.25% at December 31, 2014) plus 0.25% to 0.75%, based on certain financial tests or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.17% at December 31, 2014) plus 1.25% to 1.75%, based on certain financial tests. The interest rate in effect at December 31, 2014 was 1.42%. Fees for letters of credit issued under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility range from 1.25% to 1.75% of the respective face amounts of outstanding letters of credit and are computed based on certain financial tests. We capitalized approximately $3.0 million of debt issuance costs associated with the 2013 Credit Agreement. This amount is being amortized over the life of the agreement and is included as part of interest expense. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the 2011 Credit Agreement, $0.3 million attributable to the acceleration of expense for debt issuance costs in connection with the 2011 Credit Agreement was recorded as part of interest expense. We are required to make principal payments on the Term Loan in installments on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing with the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2014, in the amount of $4.4 million, with a final payment of all unpaid principal and interest due and payable on November 25, 2018. As of December 31, 2014, the balance on the Term Loan was $332.5 million. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had approximately $95.5 million and $83.3 million of letters of credit outstanding, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | ||||||||

Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | |||||||||||||
We use a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets, is comprised of the following three levels: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. | ||||||||||||||
Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs. Level 2 inputs would typically include quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. | ||||||||||||||
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the measurement and unobservable. | ||||||||||||||
The following tables provide the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands): | ||||||||||||||

-1 | Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds with original maturity dates of three months or less, which are Level 1 assets. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had $156.7 million and $147.7 million, respectively, in money market funds. | |||||||||||||
-2 | Restricted cash is classified as “Prepaid expenses and other” on our consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||||
We believe that the carrying values of our financial instruments, which include accounts receivable and other financing commitments, approximate their fair values due primarily to their short-term maturities and low risk of counterparty default. The carrying value of our debt associated with the 2013 Credit Agreement approximates its fair value due to the variable rate on such debt. |

Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES | |||||||||||
Our 2014 income tax provision from continuing operations was $103.5 million compared to $82.3 million for 2013 and $97.9 million for 2012. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations before income taxes, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, were 37.4%, 35.9% and 38.8%, respectively. The increase in the 2014 income tax provision compared to 2013 was primarily due to the effect of increased income before income taxes and the 2013 reversal of reserves for previously unrecognized income tax benefits. The decrease in the 2013 income tax provision compared to 2012 was primarily due to reduced income before income taxes, the effect of a change in the United Kingdom statutory tax rate, a change in the mix of earnings among various jurisdictions and the 2013 reversal of reserves for previously unrecognized income tax benefits. | ||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits was $5.2 million and $3.1 million (of which $3.0 million and $1.7 million, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective income tax rate), respectively. | ||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had an accrual of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the payment of interest related to unrecognized income tax benefits included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in interest expense related to our unrecognized income tax benefits. In addition, we reversed $0.1 million and $2.6 million of accrued interest expense related to our unrecognized income tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had total income tax reserves included in “Other long-term liabilities” of $5.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||
A reconciliation of the beginning and end of year unrecognized income tax benefits is as follows (in thousands): | ||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||||||
Balance at beginning of year | $ | 3,116 | $ | 11,281 | ||||||||

It is reasonably possible that approximately $3.3 million of unrecognized income tax benefits at December 31, 2014, primarily relating to uncertain tax positions attributable to tax return filing positions, will significantly decrease in the next twelve months as a result of estimated settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. | ||||||||||||
We file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and various state, local and foreign tax agencies. The Company is currently under examination by various taxing authorities for the years 2008 through 2013.

We file a consolidated federal income tax return including all of our U.S. subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the total valuation allowance on net deferred income tax assets was approximately $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, primarily related to state and local net operating losses. The reason for the net decrease in the valuation allowance for 2014 was related to the utilization of state and local net operating loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax asset, net of the valuation allowance discussed above, will be realized. The amount of the deferred income tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future income are reduced. | ||||||||||||
At December 31, 2014, we had trading and capital losses for United Kingdom income tax purposes of approximately $30.2 million, which have no expiration date. Such losses are subject to review by the United Kingdom taxing authority. Realization of the deferred income tax assets is dependent on our generating sufficient taxable income. We believe that the deferred income tax assets will be realized through the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and projected future income. | ||||||||||||

Defined Benefit Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our United Kingdom subsidiary has a defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees (the “UK Plan”); however, no individual joining the company after October 31, 2001 may participate in the plan. On May 31, 2010, we curtailed the future accrual of benefits for active employees under this plan. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We account for our UK Plan and other defined benefit plans in accordance with ASC 715, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits” (“ASC 715”). ASC 715 requires that (a) the funded status, which is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations, be recorded in our balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and (b) gains and losses for the differences between actuarial assumptions and actual results, and unrecognized service costs, be recognized through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The change in benefit obligations and assets of the UK Plan for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following components (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The actuarial loss in 2014 was a result of a significant drop in corporate bond yields leading to a reduction in the discount rate assumptions as disclosed below. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Amounts not yet reflected in net periodic pension cost and included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Unrecognized losses | $ | 102,673 | $ | 87,461 | |||||||||||||||||||||
The underfunded status of the UK Plan of $50.7 million and $39.1 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is included in “Other long-term obligations” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. No plan assets are expected to be returned to us during the year ended December 31, 2015. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Discount rate | 3.6 | % | 4.6 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||
The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Discount rate | 4.6 | % | 4.3 | % | 4.7 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Annual rate of return on plan assets | 6.7 | % | 6.7 | % | 6.7 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
The annual rate of return on plan assets has been determined by modeling possible returns using the actuary’s portfolio return calculator and the fair value of plan assets. This models the long term expected returns of the various asset classes held in the portfolio and allows for the additional benefits of holding a diversified portfolio. For measurement purposes of the liability, the annual rates of inflation of covered pension benefits assumed for 2014 and 2013 were 2.0% and 2.3%, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The components of net periodic pension cost of the UK Plan for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Interest cost | $ | 14,027 | $ | 12,326 | $ | 12,460 | |||||||||||||||||||

Net periodic pension cost | $ | (832 | ) | $ | 517 | $ | 1,835 | ||||||||||||||||||
Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a corridor approach whereby cumulative gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10% of the pension benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets are amortized over the average life expectancy of plan participants. The amortization period for 2014 was 28 years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The reclassification adjustment, net of income taxes, for the UK Plan from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $1.6 million, $2.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which was classified as a component of “Cost of sales” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated unrecognized loss for the UK Plan that will be amortized from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost over the next year is approximately $2.1 million, net of income taxes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

In regards to the plan assets of our UK Plan, investment amounts have been allocated within the fair value hierarchy across all three levels. The characteristics of the assets that sit within each level are summarized as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1-This asset represents cash. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2-These assets are a combination of the following: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
(a) | Assets that are not exchange traded but have a unit price that is based on the net asset value of the fund. The unit prices are not quoted but the underlying assets held by the fund are either: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(i) | held in a variety of listed investments | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(ii) | held in UK treasury bonds or corporate bonds with the asset value being based on fixed income streams. Some of the underlying bonds are also listed on regulated markets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
It is the value of the underlying assets that have been used to calculate the unit price of the fund. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
(b) | Assets that are not exchange traded but have a unit price that is based on the net asset value of the fund. The unit prices are quoted. The underlying assets within these funds comprise cash or assets that are listed on a regulated market (i.e., the values are based on observable market data) and it is these values that are used to calculate the unit price of the fund. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3-Assets that are not exchange traded but have a unit price that is based on the net asset value of the fund. The unit prices are not quoted and are not available on any market. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The investment policies and strategies for the plan assets are established by the plan trustees (who are independent of the Company) to achieve a reasonable balance between risk, likely return and administration expense, as well as to maintain funds at a level to meet minimum funding requirements. In order to ensure that an appropriate investment strategy is in place, an analysis of the UK Plan’s assets and liabilities is completed periodically. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

We also sponsor two U.S. defined benefit plans in which participation by new individuals is frozen. The benefit obligation associated with these plans as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $6.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $5.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The plan assets are considered Level 1 assets within the fair value hierarchy and are predominantly invested in cash, equities, and equity and bond funds. The pension liability balances as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are classified as “Other long-term obligations” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The measurement date for these two plans is December 31 of each year. The major assumptions used in the actuarial valuations to determine benefit obligations as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 included discount rates of 4.50% and 4.30% for the 2014 period and 4.50% and 4.30% for the 2013 period. Also, included was an expected rate of return of 7.00% for the 2014 and 2013 periods, respectively. The reclassification adjustment, net of income taxes, from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which was classified as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated loss for these plans that will be amortized from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost over the next year is approximately $0.2 million, net of income taxes. The future estimated benefit payments expected to be paid from the plans for the next ten years is approximately $0.4 million per year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Multiemployer Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We participate in over 200 multiemployer pension plans (“MEPPs”) that provide retirement benefits to certain union employees in accordance with various collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”). As one of many participating employers in these MEPPs, we are responsible with the other participating employers for any plan underfunding. Our contributions to a particular MEPP are established by the applicable CBAs; however, our required contributions may increase based on the funded status of an MEPP and legal requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “PPA”), which requires substantially underfunded MEPPs to implement a funding improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) to improve their funded status. Factors that could impact funded status of an MEPP include, without limitation, investment performance, changes in the participant demographics, decline in the number of contributing employers, changes in actuarial assumptions and the utilization of extended amortization provisions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
An FIP or RP requires a particular MEPP to adopt measures to correct its underfunding status. These measures may include, but are not limited to: (a) an increase in our contribution rate as a signatory to the applicable CBA, (b) a reallocation of the contributions already being made by participating employers for various benefits to individuals participating in the MEPP and/or (c) a reduction in the benefits to be paid to future and/or current retirees. In addition, the PPA requires that a 5% surcharge be levied on employer contributions for the first year commencing shortly after the date the employer receives notice that the MEPP is in critical status and a 10% surcharge on each succeeding year until a CBA is in place with terms and conditions consistent with the RP. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We could also be obligated to make payments to MEPPs if we either cease to have an obligation to contribute to the MEPP or significantly reduce our contributions to the MEPP because we reduce our number of employees who are covered by the relevant MEPP for various reasons, including, but not limited to, layoffs or closure of a subsidiary assuming the MEPP has unfunded vested benefits. The amount of such payments (known as a complete or partial withdrawal liability) would equal our proportionate share of the MEPPs’ unfunded vested benefits. We believe that certain of the MEPPs in which we participate may have unfunded vested benefits. Due to uncertainty regarding future factors that could trigger withdrawal liability, as well as the absence of specific information regarding the MEPP’s current financial situation, we are unable to determine (a) the amount and timing of any future withdrawal liability, if any, and (b) whether our participation in these MEPPs could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. We recorded a withdrawal liability of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We did not record any withdrawal liability for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table lists all domestic MEPPs to which our contributions exceeded $2.0 million in 2014. Additionally, this table also lists all domestic MEPPs to which we contributed in 2014 in excess of $0.5 million for MEPPs in the critical status, “red zone” and $1.0 million in the endangered status, “orange or yellow zones”, as defined by the PPA (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

-1 | The zone status represents the most recent available information for the respective MEPP, which may be 2013 or earlier for the 2014 year and 2012 or earlier for the 2013 year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
-2 | This information was obtained from the respective plans’ Form 5500 (“Forms”) for the most current available filing. These dates may not correspond with our fiscal year contributions. The above noted percentages of contributions are based upon disclosures contained in the plans’ Forms. Those Forms, among other things, disclose the names of individual participating employers whose annual contributions account for more than 5% of the aggregate annual amount contributed by all participating employers for a plan year. Accordingly, if the annual contribution of two or more of our subsidiaries each accounted for less than 5% of such contributions, but in the aggregate accounted for in excess of 5% of such contributions, that greater percentage is not available and accordingly is not disclosed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
-3 | For these respective plans, a funding surcharge was currently in effect for 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The nature and diversity of our business may result in volatility in the amount of our contributions to a particular MEPP for any given period. That is because, in any given market, we could be working on a significant project and/or projects, which could result in an increase in our direct labor force and a corresponding increase in our contributions to the MEPP(s) dictated by the applicable CBA. When that particular project(s) finishes and is not replaced, the number of participants in the MEPP(s) who are employed by us would also decrease, as would our level of contributions to the particular MEPP(s). Additionally, the amount of contributions to a particular MEPP could also be affected by the terms of the CBA, which could require at a particular time, an increase in the contribution rate and/or surcharges. Our contributions to various MEPPs did not increase as a result of acquisitions made since 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We also participate in two MEPPs that are located within the United Kingdom for which we have contributed $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $0.3 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The information that we have obtained relating to these plans is not as readily available and/or as comparable as the information that has been ascertained in the United States. Based upon the most recently available information, one of the plans is 100% funded, and the other plan is less than 65% funded. A recovery plan has been put in place for the plan that is less than 65% funded, which requires higher contribution amounts to be paid by our UK operations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Additionally, we contribute to certain multiemployer plans that provide post retirement benefits such as health and welfare benefits and/or defined contribution/annuity plans, among others. Our contributions to these plans approximated $98.3 million, $93.5 million and $89.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our contributions to other post retirement benefit plans did not increase as a result of acquisitions made since 2012. The amount of contributions to these plans is also subject for the most part to the factors discussed above in conjunction with the MEPPs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Defined Contribution Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We have defined contribution retirement and savings plans that cover eligible employees in the United States. Contributions to these plans are based on a percentage of the employee’s base compensation. The expenses recognized for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 for these plans were $25.3 million, $22.6 million and $20.7 million, respectively. At our discretion, we may make additional supplemental matching contributions to a defined contribution retirement and savings plan. The expenses recognized related to additional supplemental matching for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $4.3 million, $4.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our United Kingdom subsidiary has defined contribution retirement plans. The expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $4.8 million, $5.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively. |

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was reported net of sublease rental income of $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Contractual Guarantees | ||||||||||||||||||||
We have agreements with our executive officers and certain other key management personnel providing for severance benefits for such employees upon termination of their employment under certain circumstances. | ||||||||||||||||||||
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, we are liable under such an arrangement only if our subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under the contract. Historically, we have not incurred any substantial liabilities as a consequence of these guarantees. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies (“Surety Companies”) and provide to our customers payment and performance bonds (“Surety Bonds”) as a condition to the award of such contracts. The Surety Bonds secure our payment and performance obligations under such contracts, and we have agreed to indemnify the Surety Companies for amounts, if any, paid by them in respect of Surety Bonds issued on our behalf. In addition, at the request of labor unions representing certain of our employees, Surety Bonds are sometimes provided to secure obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for such employees. Public sector contracts require Surety Bonds more frequently than private sector contracts, and accordingly, our bonding requirements typically increase as the amount of public sector work increases. As of December 31, 2014, based on our percentage-of-completion of our projects covered by Surety Bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, had there been defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was approximately $1.1 billion. The Surety Bonds are issued by Surety Companies in return for premiums, which vary depending on the size and type of bond. | ||||||||||||||||||||
We are subject to regulation with respect to the handling of certain materials used in construction, which are classified as hazardous or toxic by federal, state and local agencies. Our practice is to avoid participation in projects principally involving the remediation or removal of such materials. However, when remediation is required as part of our contract performance, we believe we comply with all applicable regulations governing the discharge of material into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. | ||||||||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2014, we employed approximately 27,000 people, approximately 55% of whom are represented by various unions pursuant to more than 375 collective bargaining agreements between our individual subsidiaries and local unions. We believe that our employee relations are generally good. Only two of these collective bargaining agreements are national or regional in scope. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Restructuring expenses were $1.2 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The 2014 restructuring expenses included $0.6 million of employee severance obligations and $0.6 million relating to the termination of leased facilities. The 2013 restructuring expenses included $0.5 million of employee severance obligations and $0.1 million relating to the termination of leased facilities. The 2012 restructuring expenses included $0.07 million of employee severance obligations and $0.07 million relating to the termination of leased facilities. As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the balance of our restructuring related obligations yet to be paid was $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The majority of obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were paid during 2014 and 2013. The majority of obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2014 will be paid during 2015. No material expenses in connection with restructuring from continuing operations are expected to be incurred during 2015. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Government Contracts | ||||||||||||||||||||
As a government contractor, we are subject to U.S. government audits and investigations relating to our operations, fines, penalties and compensatory and treble damages, and possible suspension or debarment from doing business with the government. Based on currently available information, we believe the outcome of ongoing government disputes and investigations will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Legal Matters | ||||||||||||||||||||
One of our subsidiaries was a subcontractor to a mechanical contractor (“Mechanical Contractor”) on a construction project where an explosion occurred. An investigation of the matter could not determine who was responsible for the explosion. As a result of the explosion, lawsuits have been commenced against various parties, but, to date, no lawsuits have been commenced against our subsidiary with respect to personal injury or damage to property as a consequence of the explosion. However, the Mechanical Contractor has asserted claims, in the context of an arbitration proceeding against our subsidiary, alleging that our subsidiary is responsible for a portion of the damages for which the Mechanical Contractor may be liable as a result of: (a) personal injury suffered by individuals as a result of the explosion and (b) the Mechanical Contractor’s legal fees and associated management costs in defending against any and all such claims. In the most recent filing with the Arbitrator, the Mechanical Contractor has stated claims against our subsidiary for alleged violations of the Connecticut and Massachusetts Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Acts in the ongoing arbitration proceeding. Further, the general contractor (as assignee of the Mechanical Contractor) on the construction project, and for whom the Mechanical Contractor worked, has alleged that our subsidiary is responsible for losses asserted by the owner of the project and/or the general contractor because of delays in completion of the project and for damages to the owner’s property. We believe, and have been advised by counsel, that we have a number of meritorious defenses to all such matters. We believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Notwithstanding our assessment of the final impact of this matter, we are not able to estimate with any certainty the amount of loss, if any, which would be associated with an adverse resolution. | ||||||||||||||||||||
One of our subsidiaries, USM, Inc. (“USM”), doing business in California provides, among other things, janitorial services to its customers by having those services performed by independent janitorial companies. USM and one of its customers, which owns retail stores (the “Customer”), are co-defendants in a federal class action lawsuit brought by five employees of USM’s California janitorial subcontractors. The action was commenced on September 5, 2013 in a Superior Court of California and was removed by USM on November 22, 2013 to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The employees allege in their complaint, among other things, that USM and the Customer, during a period that began before our acquisition of USM, violated a California statute that prohibits USM from entering into a contract with a janitorial subcontractor when it knows or should know that the contract does not include funds sufficient to allow the janitorial contractor to comply with all local, state and federal laws or regulations governing the labor or services to be provided. The employees have asserted that the amounts USM pays to its janitorial subcontractors are insufficient to allow those janitorial subcontractors to meet their obligations regarding, among other things, wages due for all hours their employees worked, minimum wages, overtime pay and meal and rest breaks. These employees seek to represent not only themselves, but also all other individuals who provided janitorial services at the Customer’s stores in California during the relevant four year time period. We do not believe USM or the Customer has violated the California statute or that the employees may bring the action as a class action on behalf of other employees of janitorial companies with whom USM subcontracted for the provision of janitorial services to the Customer. However, if the pending lawsuit is certified as a class action and USM is found to have violated the California statute, USM might have to pay significant damages and might be subject to similar lawsuits regarding the provision of janitorial services to its other customers in California. The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that USM has violated the California statute, monetary damages, including all unpaid wages and thereon, restitution for unpaid wages, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. | ||||||||||||||||||||
On February 17, 2015, USM and its Customer entered into a consent decree which, subject to approval of the consent decree by the federal judge in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California following a determination by the Court of the consent decree’s fairness, adequacy and reasonableness, will resolve the claims and defenses asserted in the class action. Under the terms of the consent decree, USM is to (a) pay an aggregate of $1.0 million (i) for monetary relief to the members of the class, (ii) for awards to the class representative plaintiffs, (iii) for California Labor Code Private Attorney General Act payments to the State of California for an immaterial amount, and (iv) for all costs of notice and administration of the claims process, (b) pay to counsel for the class an aggregate of $1.3 million, of which $0.25 million is to be allocated for their reimbursable costs and litigation expenses and $1.05 million is to be allocated for attorneys’ fees, and (c) establish procedures to monitor USM’s California subcontractors providing janitorial services to its Customer designed principally to ensure janitorial employees of those subcontractors are paid no less than minimum wage. The settlement amount has been accrued for as of December 31, 2014, and payment is expected to be made in 2015. | ||||||||||||||||||||
We are involved in several other proceedings in which damages and claims have been asserted against us. Other potential claims may exist that have not yet been asserted against us. We believe that we have a number of valid defenses to such proceedings and claims and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. We do not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation matters for which reserves have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. |

Our corporate administration operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was reduced by the receipt of an insurance recovery of approximately $2.6 million that was received in January 2013 associated with a previously disposed of operation, which is classified as a component of "Cost of sales" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

Summary_of_Significant_Account1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2014 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | We use a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets, is comprised of the following three levels: |
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. | |
Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs. Level 2 inputs would typically include quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. | |
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the measurement and unobservable. | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All investments over which we exercise significant influence, but do not control (a 20% to 50% ownership interest), are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, we participate in a joint venture with another company, and we have consolidated this joint venture as we have determined that through our participation we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation”. | |
For joint ventures that have been accounted for using the consolidation method of accounting, noncontrolling interest represents the allocation of earnings to our joint venture partners who either have a minority-ownership interest in the joint venture or are not at risk for the majority of losses of the joint venture. | |
The results of operations of companies acquired have been included in the results of operations from the date of the respective acquisition. | |
Principles of Preparation | Principles of Preparation |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. | |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
Revenues from long-term construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Certain of our electrical contracting business units measure percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract. Pre-contract costs from our construction projects are generally expensed as incurred. Revenues from the performance of services for maintenance, repair and retrofit work are recognized consistent with the performance of the services, which are generally on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contractual arrangement. Expenses related to all services arrangements are recognized as incurred. Revenues related to the engineering, manufacturing and repairing of shell and tube heat exchangers are recognized when the product is shipped and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Costs related to this work are included in inventory until the product is shipped. In the case of customer change orders for uncompleted long-term construction contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work performed in forecasting ultimate profitability on certain contracts. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for the entirety of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. | |
Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts | Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts |
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues have been recognized but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of a contract. Also included in costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and/or price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Such amounts are recorded at estimated net realizable value when realization is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No profit is recognized on construction costs incurred in connection with claim amounts. Claims and unapproved change orders made by us involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation. In the event litigation costs are incurred by us in connection with claims or unapproved change orders, such litigation costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs. We believe that we have established legal bases for pursuing recovery of our recorded unapproved change orders and claims, and it is management’s intention to pursue and litigate such claims, if necessary, until a determination or settlement is reached. Unapproved change orders and claims also involve the use of estimates, and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated recoverable amounts of recorded claims and unapproved change orders may be made in the near term. If we do not successfully resolve these matters, a net expense (recorded as a reduction in revenues) may be required, in addition to amounts that may have been previously provided for. We record the profit associated with the settlement of claims upon receipt of final payment. There was no significant profit recognized from settlements or payment of claims in 2014 and 2013. Claims against us are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably determinable. | |
Classification of Contract Amounts | Classification of Contract Amounts |
In accordance with industry practice, we classify as current all assets and liabilities relating to the performance of long-term contracts. The term of our contracts ranges from one month to four years and, accordingly, collection or payment of amounts relating to these contracts may extend beyond one year. | |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents |
For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, we consider all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain a centralized cash management system whereby our excess cash balances are invested in high quality, short-term money market instruments, which are considered cash equivalents. We have cash balances in certain of our domestic bank accounts that exceed federally insured limits. | |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts. This allowance is based upon the best estimate of the probable losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowances based upon individual accounts when information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet their financial obligations, as well as historical collection and write-off experience. These amounts are re-evaluated and adjusted on a regular basis as additional information is received. Actual write-offs are charged against the allowance when collection efforts have been unsuccessful. | |
Inventories | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally using the average cost method. | |
Property, plant and equipment | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation, including amortization of assets under capital leases, is recorded principally using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 3 to 7 years for vehicles, furniture and fixtures and computer hardware/software and 25 years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease term or the expected service life of the improvement. | |
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. In performing this review for recoverability, property, plant and equipment is assessed for possible impairment by comparing their carrying values to their undiscounted net pre-tax cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. Impaired assets are written down to their fair values, generally determined based on their estimated future discounted cash flows. | |
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets |
Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not being amortized, such as trade names, are tested at least annually for impairment (which we test each October 1, absent any impairment indicators) and are written down if impaired. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable. See Note 8 - Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information. | |
Insurance Liabilities | Insurance Liabilities |
Our insurance liabilities are determined actuarially based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. | |
Foreign Operations | Foreign Operations |
The financial statements and transactions of our foreign subsidiaries are maintained in their functional currency and translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Translation adjustments have been recorded as “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, a separate component of “Equity”. | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
We account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. | |
We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. We recognize accruals of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision. | |
Valuation of Share-based Compensation Plans | Valuation of Share-Based Compensation Plans |
We have various types of share-based compensation plans and programs, which are administered by our Board of Directors or its Compensation and Personnel Committee. See Note 13 - Share-Based Compensation Plans of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the share-based compensation plans and programs. | |
We account for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. For shares subject to graded vesting, our policy is to apply the straight-line method in recognizing compensation expense. ASC 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash inflow, rather than as an operating cash inflow on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows. | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with no early adoption permitted. The guidance permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on our financial position and/or results of operations. | |
In April 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update existing guidance on discontinued operations. This guidance raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This pronouncement is aimed at reducing the frequency of disposals reported as discontinued operations by focusing on strategic shifts that have or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this pronouncement as of January 1, 2015, and we will consider this guidance in conjunction with future disposals, if any. |

The above noted percentages of contributions are based upon disclosures contained in the plans’ Forms. Those Forms, among other things, disclose the names of individual participating employers whose annual contributions account for more than 5% of the aggregate annual amount contributed by all participating employers for a plan year. Accordingly, if the annual contribution of two or more of our subsidiaries each accounted for less than 5% of such contributions, but in the aggregate accounted for in excess of 5% of such contributions, that greater percentage is not available and accordingly is not disclosed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
