WILLIAMS INDUSTRIAL SERVICES GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

Williams Industrial Services Group Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “Williams,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise) was initially formed in 1998 as GEEG Inc., a Delaware corporation, and in 2001 changed its name to “Global Power Equipment Group Inc.,” and, as part of a reorganization, became the successor to GEEG Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company. Effective June 29, 2018, the Company changed its name to Williams Industrial Services Group Inc. to better align its name with the Williams business, and the Company’s stock trades on the NYSE American LLC under the ticker symbol “WLMS.” Williams has been safely helping plant owners and operators enhance asset value for more than 50 years. It provides a broad range of construction, maintenance, and support services to infrastructure customers in energy, power, and industrial end markets. The Company’s mission is to be the preferred provider of construction, maintenance, and specialty services through commitment to superior safety performance, focus on innovation, and dedication to delivering unsurpassed value to its customers.

Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a basis consistent with that used in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2022 (the “2021 Report”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including all normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods indicated. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2021 Report. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of operations to be expected for the full year.

The Company reports on a fiscal quarter basis utilizing a “modified” 5-4-4 calendar (modified in that the fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31). However, the Company has continued to label its quarterly information using a calendar convention. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist when comparing interim period results. The reporting periods and corresponding fiscal interim periods are as follows:



Reporting Interim Period	Fiscal Interim Period
	2022	2021
Three Months Ended March 31	January 1, 2022 to April 3, 2022	January 1, 2021 to April 4, 2021
Three Months Ended June 30	April 4, 2022 to July 3, 2022	April 5, 2021 to July 4, 2021
Three Months Ended September 30	July 4, 2022 to October 2, 2022	July 5, 2021 to October 3, 2021

NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not implement any new accounting pronouncements during the first quarter of 2022. However, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of future disclosures that may arise under recent SEC proposals.

Table of Contents

NOTE 3—LEASES

The Company primarily leases office space and related equipment, as well as equipment, modular units and vehicles directly used in providing services to its customers. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one to ten years. Most leases contain renewal options for varying periods, which are at the Company’s sole discretion and included in the expected lease term if they are reasonably certain of being exercised. In accordance with ASU 2016-02, the Company accounts for lease components, such as fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes, and insurance costs, separately from the non-lease components, such as common area maintenance costs.

In accordance with ASU 2016-02, for leases with terms greater than twelve months, the Company records the related right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease as the rate implicit in the lease is typically not readily determinable.

Short-term leases (leases with an initial term of twelve months or less or leases that are cancelable by the lessee and lessor without significant penalties) are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s short-term leases relate to equipment used in delivering services to its customers. These leases are entered into at agreed upon hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly rental rates for an unspecified duration and typically have a termination for convenience provision. Such equipment leases are considered short-term in nature unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment will be leased for a term greater than twelve months.

On September 2, 2021, the Company made the decision to relocate its corporate headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia and entered into a ten-year lease agreement. The Company completed its relocation in March 2022. The lease is presented as a right-of-use asset and lease liability and the lease liability amounts to $3.5 million with a present value of $2.3 million over a ten-year term. If the Company defaults, the landlord has the right to use the security deposit for rent or other payments due to other damages, injury, expense or liability as defined in the lease agreement. Although the security deposit shall be deemed the property of the landlord, any remaining balance of the security deposit shall be returned by the landlord to the Company after termination of the lease as the Company’s obligations under the lease have been fulfilled. The Company subleased its former office space and collected $15,000 of sublease income as of March 31, 2022.

The components of lease expense were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
Lease Cost/(Sublease Income) (in thousands)	2022		2021
Operating lease cost	$	546	$	555
Short-term lease cost		1,617		620
Sublease income		(15)		-
Total lease cost	$	2,148	$	1,175

Lease cost related to finance leases was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 4—CHANGES IN BUSINESS

Discontinued Operations

Electrical Solutions

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made the decision to exit and sell its Electrical Solutions segment (which was comprised solely of Koontz-Wagner Custom Controls Holdings LLC (“Koontz-Wagner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) in an effort to reduce the Company’s outstanding term debt. The Company determined that the decision to exit this segment met the definition of a discontinued operation. As a result, this segment has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

On July 11, 2018, Koontz-Wagner filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The filing was for Koontz-Wagner only, not for the Company as a whole, and was completely separate and distinct from the Williams business and operations. As a result of the July 11, 2018 bankruptcy of Koontz-Wagner, the Company recorded a pension withdrawal liability of $2.9 million related to Koontz-Wagner’s International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 1392 (“IBEW”) multi-employer pension plan.

After an arbitration process, on May 12, 2021, an arbitrator concluded that the IBEW used an incorrect per hour contribution rate in calculating the Company’s pension withdrawal liability, which resulted in the Company overpaying. The arbitrator directed IBEW to refund all overpayments, with interest, to the Company and to redetermine the Company’s payments going forward using the proper contribution rate. Accordingly, the Company’s overall pension withdrawal liability decreased by approximately $0.3 million. The pension liability is expected to be satisfied by annual cash payments of $0.3 million each, paid in quarterly installments, through 2038. The Company recorded a gain on disposal of approximately $0.3 million in 2021 to reduce its previously recorded estimated withdrawal liability to the new amount.

Mechanical Solutions

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company made the decision to exit and sell substantially all of the operating assets and liabilities of its Mechanical Solutions segment and determined that the decision to exit this segment met the definition of a discontinued operation. As a result, this segment has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did 0t have any assets related to its Electrical Solutions’ and Mechanical Solutions’ discontinued operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of major classes of liabilities of Electrical Solutions’ and Mechanical Solutions’ discontinued operations:

NOTE 5—REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s contracts generally include a single performance obligation for which revenue is recognized over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. For cost-plus contracts, the Company recognizes revenue when services are performed and contractually billable based upon the hours incurred and agreed-upon hourly rates. Revenue on fixed-price contracts is recognized and invoiced over time using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method. To the extent a contract is deemed to have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company does not adjust the price of the contract for the effects of a significant financing component. Change orders are generally not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. The Company believes these methods of revenue recognition most accurately reflect the economics of the transactions with its customers.

The Company’s contracts may include several types of variable consideration, including change orders, rate true-up provisions, retainage, claims, incentives, penalties, and liquidated damages. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using estimation methods that best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company includes variable consideration in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on an assessment of its anticipated performance and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The Company updates its estimate of the transaction price each reporting period and the effect of variable consideration on the transaction price is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. In circumstances where the Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome of a contract, it recognizes revenue over time as the work is performed, but only to the extent of recoverable costs incurred (i.e. zero margin). A loss provision is recorded for the amount of any estimated unrecoverable costs in excess of total estimated revenue on a contract as soon as the Company becomes aware. The Company generally provides a limited warranty for a term of two years or less following completion of services performed under its contracts. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred.

Disaggregated revenue by type of contract was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021
Cost-plus reimbursement contracts	$	54,255	$	55,593

The Company enters into contracts that allow for periodic billings over the contract term that are dependent upon specific advance billing terms, as services are provided, or as milestone billings based on completion of certain phases of work. Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have costs and estimated earnings recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as contract assets. Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have cumulative billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings recognized to date are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as contract liabilities. At any point in time, each project in process could have either contract assets or contract liabilities.

NOTE 6—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s 26,231,515 shares outstanding included 321,142 shares of contingently issued but unvested restricted stock. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s 25,896,001 shares outstanding included 215,956 shares of contingently issued but unvested restricted stock. Restricted stock is excluded from the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding, but its impact, if dilutive, is included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of common shares that would be issued upon the vesting and release of restricted stock awards and units and stock options, if any.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations were calculated as follows:

The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share does not include the effect of the following potential outstanding common stock. The effects of the potentially outstanding service-based restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The effects of the potentially outstanding performance- and market-based restricted stock unit awards were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because the performance and/or market conditions had not been satisfied as of March 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax expense rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022	2021
Effective income tax rate for continuing operations	(12.7)%	(13.3)%

The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily because of the Canadian income tax provision and the partial valuation allowances recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.2 million, or (12.7)% of pretax loss from continuing operations, compared with income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.2 million, or (13.3)% of pretax loss from continuing operations, in the corresponding period of 2021. The $44,000 increase in income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the corresponding period in 2021 was primarily the result of the Canadian pre-tax book income.

The Company’s net deferred balance was primarily composed of indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities attributable to goodwill and trade names, and indefinite lived deferred tax assets related to the post 2017 net operating losses and the Section 163(j) interest addback. A full valuation allowance was applied to most of the remaining deferred balances. The indefinite lived deferred tax assets enabled the release of the valuation allowance to the extent that it can offset the indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities. Because all indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities are part of continued operations, and the release of valuation allowance is attributable to the future taxable income related to these deferred tax liabilities, the entire valuation allowance released was recorded in continuing operations according to ASC 740-20-45-3. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $2.4 million net deferred tax liabilities, mainly composed of $12.4 million indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities attributable to

Table of Contents

goodwill and trade names and $0.3 million of deferred tax liability related to its investment in Canada, partially offset by $6.9 million indefinite lived deferred tax assets attributable to post 2017 net operating losses, and $3.3 million indefinite lived deferred tax assets attributable to Section 163(j) interest addback.

As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company would have needed to generate approximately $288.8 million and $273.8 million, respectively, of future taxable income in order to realize its deferred tax assets.

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries may generate earnings that are not subject to U.S. income taxes so long as they are permanently reinvested in its operations outside of the U.S. Pursuant to ASC 740-30, undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are no longer permanently reinvested would become subject to deferred income taxes.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company projects that its Canadian subsidiary will have generated approximately $6.2 million in undistributed earnings by the end of 2022. The Company’s management expects that all of the undistributed earnings will be repatriated back to the United States within the next 12 months. The Company formed the Canadian subsidiary in 2018 without significant capital investment, the majority of the undistributed earnings was expected to be repatriated as dividends to the United States at the United States-Canada treaty rate of 5%. As a result, the Company accrued a deferred tax liability of $0.3 million related to its investment in Canada for its outside basis difference as of March 31, 2022.

As of each of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company provided for a total liability of $3.0 million, of which $1.9 million for the period ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.8 million for the corresponding period in 2021, related to discontinued operations, for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal, foreign and state income tax matters, which were included in long-term liabilities of discontinued operations and other long-term liabilities. If recognized, the entire amount of the liability would affect the effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2022, the Company accrued approximately $1.4 million, of which $0.9 million related to discontinued operations, in both other long-term liabilities of discontinued operations and other long-term liabilities for potential payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into U.S. law to provide economic relief to individuals and businesses facing economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has incorporated the impact of the CARES Act to the tax provision. In addition, the Company deferred payments of federal employer payroll taxes of approximately $4.9 million, as permitted by the CARES Act. The first half of the deferred amounts were paid in December 2021, and the second half will be paid by December 2022.

The Revolving Credit Agreement also includes customary replacement provisions in the event of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

The Revolving Loan Borrowers’ Obligations (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s material, wholly-owned subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions (the “Revolving Loan Guarantors” and, together with the Revolving Loan Borrowers, the “Revolving Loan Credit Parties”). The Revolving Loan Credit Parties’ obligations are secured by first-priority security interests on substantially all of the Revolving Loan Credit Parties’ accounts and a second-priority security interest in substantially all other assets of the Revolving Loan Credit Parties, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement between PNC and EICF Agent LLC, as the Revolving Loan Agent and the Term Loan Agent, respectively (as each such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), as described below (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).

The Revolving Loan Borrowers may from time to time voluntarily prepay outstanding amounts, plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the aggregate amount being prepaid, under the Revolving Credit Facility, in whole or in part. There is 0 required minimum prepayment amount. If at any time the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement exceeds the borrowing base, or any sublimit, in effect at such time, the excess amount will be immediately due and payable.

The Early Termination Fee is calculated as follows: if the Early Termination Date occurred on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Early Termination Fee would have been 2.00% of the Revolving Credit Facility; and if prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Early Termination Fee will be 1.00% of the Revolving Credit Facility. While any letter of credit is outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Loan Borrowers must pay a letter of credit fronting fee at a rate equal to 0.25% per year, payable quarterly, in addition to any other customary fees required by the issuer of the letter of credit.

NOTE 9—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820–Fair Value Measurement defines fair value as the exit price, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which categorizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in the active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, payables, and debt instruments. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values, as they are either short-term in nature or carry interest rates that are periodically adjusted to market rates.

NOTE 10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims

The Company is from time-to-time party to various lawsuits, including personal injury claims and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company records a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be predicted, and therefore, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

The Company completed a bankruptcy filing of its Koontz-Wagner subsidiary on July 11, 2018. This could require the Company to incur legal fees and other expenses related to liabilities from this bankruptcy filing. While the Company does not anticipate these liabilities will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position, and although the statute of limitations has run on certain claims that the Chapter 7 Trustee for the Koontz-Wagner estate might assert, there can be no assurance of the outcome. The filing was for Koontz-Wagner only, not for the Company as a whole, and was completely separate and distinct from the Williams business and operations. For additional information, please refer to “Note 4—Changes in Business” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The acquiror of certain assets from a former operating unit of the Company has been named as a defendant in an asbestos personal injury lawsuit and has submitted a claim for indemnification and tendered defense of the matter to the Company. The Company has assumed defense of the matter subject to a reservation of rights and objection to the claim for indemnification. Neither the Company nor its predecessors ever mined, manufactured, produced, or distributed asbestos fiber, the material that allegedly caused the injury underlying this action. The Company does not expect that this claim will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Moreover, during 2012, the Company secured insurance coverage that will help to reimburse the defense costs and potential indemnity obligations of its former operating unit relating to these claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend all currently active actions, and it does not anticipate that this action will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any legal action cannot be predicted and, therefore, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

The 2021 performance-based restricted stock units have three annual performance periods (fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023), with operating income and free cash flow goals (equally weighted) for each year, and threshold performance resulting in awards earned at 50% of the target opportunity and maximum performance resulting in awards earned at 200% of the target. The annual achievement levels are averaged over the three-year performance period and the earned amounts, if any, vest on March 31, 2024. These are cash-based awards that were included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet beginning in April 2021.

The Company previously granted (i) performance-based restricted stock units under the 2016 LTI program, which were scheduled to vest if the Company achieved a per share stock price of $5.50 for 30 consecutive trading days prior to August 5, 2021, (ii) performance-based restricted stock units under the 2017 LTI program, which were scheduled to vest if the Company

achieved a per share stock price of $6.00 for 30 consecutive trading days prior to March 31, 2021 (pursuant to an extension from the initial vesting date of March 31, 2020, which extension was approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2020), and (iii) performance-based restricted stock units under the 2018 LTI program, which were scheduled to vest if the Company achieved a per share stock price of at least $5.00 for any period of 30 consecutive trading days prior to June 30, 2021 (collectively, the “LTI Performance Awards”). On March 5, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors extended the performance period for each of the LTI Performance Awards to December 31, 2022. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), the Company conducted a lattice valuation model in order to revalue the market price for the LTI Performance Awards at the March 5, 2021 modification date. The 2018 LTI program met the market objective by achieving a per share stock price of $5.00 for 30 consecutive days, and approximately 195,240 shares will vest for recipients remaining employed through December 31, 2022.

During the first three months of 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved modifying the 2020 and 2019 performance-based restricted stock units granted in 2020 and 2019. The 2020 and 2019 performance-based restricted stock units did not achieve the 2021 performance objectives. The 2019 performance-based restricted stock units expired because their final performance period was 2021.

During the first three months of 2021, the Company’s management analyzed the probability of achieving the 2022 performance objectives for the 2021 and 2020 performance-based restricted stock units granted in 2021 and 2020 and determined that, after comparing the actual year-to-date results to the forecasted results, it is unlikely the Company will achieve the minimum performance metric for the 2022 performance period. This resulted in a $0.3 million adjustment for the 2021 performance-based restricted stock units and an entire reversal of $0.5 million for the 2020 performance-based restricted stock units within the first three months of 2022. The 2020 performance-based restricted stock units will expire after the 2022 performance period and the 2021 performance-based restricted stock units were adjusted to vest at 55% of their original cash value and will be expensed for a total of $0.9 million until the end of the service requisite period of March 31, 2024.

While the majority of restricted stock units and awards were granted as equity, in accordance with ASC 718, the Company has 1 cash-based plan that is classified as a liability. The $0.8 million adjustment and reversal to the 2021 and 2020 performance-based restricted stock units resulted in the Company 0t having any stock-based compensation expense in the first three months of 2022 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2021. The March 31, 2022 and 2021 stock-based compensation expense was included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following discussion provides an analysis of the results of continuing operations, an overview of our liquidity and capital resources and other items related to our business. Unless otherwise specified, the financial information and discussion in this Form 10-Q are as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and are based on our continuing operations; they exclude any results of our discontinued operations. Please refer to “Note 4—Changes in Business” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our discontinued operations.

Backlog

The services we provide are typically carried out under construction contracts, long-term maintenance contracts and master service agreements. Total backlog represents the dollar amount of revenue expected to be recorded in the future for work performed under awarded contracts.

Revenue estimates included in our backlog can be subject to change as a result of project accelerations, cancellations or delays due to various factors, including, but not limited to, the customer’s budgetary constraints and adverse weather. These factors can also cause revenue amounts to be recognized in different periods and at levels other than those originally projected. Additional work that is not identified under the original contract is added to our estimated backlog when we reach an agreement with the customer as to the scope and pricing of that additional work. Backlog is reduced as work is performed and revenue is recognized, or upon cancellation.

Backlog is not a measure defined by GAAP, and our methodology for determining backlog may vary from the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog amounts. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified, or otherwise altered by our customers. We utilize our calculation of backlog to assist in measuring aggregate awards under existing contractual relationships with our customers. We believe our backlog disclosures will assist investors in better understanding this estimate of the services to be performed pursuant to awards by our customers under existing contractual relationships.

The following tables summarize our backlog:


(in thousands)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Cost plus	$	197,479	$	559,417
Lump sum		59,477		72,276
Total	$	256,956	$	631,693


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

New awards		38,293
Adjustments and cancellations, net		(343,471)
Revenue recognized		(69,559)
Backlog - end of period	$	256,956

Total backlog as of March 31, 2022 was $257.0 million, compared with $631.7 million on December 31, 2021, a decrease of $374.7 million, which was primarily driven by the loss of a multi-year contract within the nuclear decommissioning market in

Table of Contents

February 2022, contributing to a loss of approximately $361.0 million in backlog for the years 2022 through 2029. Our nuclear and water markets also contributed to a $14.6 million decrease in backlog. We estimate that $139.0 million, or 54.1% of total backlog on March 31, 2022, will be converted to revenue within the next twelve months and $121.8 million, or 47.4% of total backlog, will be converted to revenue within the remainder of the fiscal year. As of December 31, 2021, we estimated that approximately $157.2 million of our year-end backlog, as adjusted for the loss of the multi-year contract in February 2022, would be converted to revenue during 2022. Please refer to Item 1, Business under “Backlog” and “Note 17—Subsequent Events” included in the 2021 Report for additional information.

Results of Operations

The following summary and discussion of our results of operations is based on our continuing operations and excludes any results of our discontinued operations:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021
Revenue	$	69,559	$	60,851
Cost of revenue		63,850		54,753
Gross profit		5,709		6,098

Selling and marketing expenses		330		211
General and administrative expenses		6,071		6,311
Depreciation and amortization expense		66		41
Total operating expenses		6,467		6,563

Operating loss		(758)		(465)

Interest expense, net		1,219		1,293
Other income, net		(179)		(360)
Loss from continuing operations before income tax		(1,798)		(1,398)
Income tax expense		229		185
Loss from continuing operations	$	(2,027)	$	(1,583)

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $8.7 million, or 14.3%, compared with the corresponding period in 2021. This increase was primarily related to growth in the nuclear markets with several key customers, which accounted for $8.9 million of the increase. These increases were also supplemented by incremental revenue of $6.3 million in the water markets. Revenue growth in the nuclear and water markets was partially offset by $4.2 million of reduced revenue as the Company exited the Canadian nuclear market. Additionally, revenue generated in the decommissioning market declined by $4.0 million resulting from the loss of a contract.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $0.4 million, or 6.4%, compared with the corresponding period in 2021, while gross margin declined to 8.2% from 10.0%. The decrease in gross profit reflects start-up costs relating to our entry into the energy transmission and distribution markets and the impact of certain lump sum projects in the water markets for which we currently earn revenue without recognizing any profit. We recorded a loss on these projects in the third quarter of 2021 and currently anticipate that these projects will continue to generate revenues with no associated profits until completion within the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact relating to start-up costs in the energy transmission and distribution markets and the non-profitable lump sum projects in the water market, the Company would have realized a gross margin of 10.5% rather than 8.2%.

Operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $0.3 million, or 63.0%, compared with the corresponding period in 2021. These increased losses were due to a decrease in gross profit and partially offset by decreased operating expenses primarily resulting from lower general and administrative expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021
Employee-related expenses	$	3,056	$	3,532

Professional fees		1,651		910
Other expenses		1,395		1,154
Total	$	6,071	$	6,311

Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased $0.2 million, or 3.8%, compared with the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease was largely driven by a decrease in compensation expenses of $1.2 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in professional fees relating to an ongoing legal matter.

Total	$	1,040	$	933

Total other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $0.1 million, or 11.5%, compared with the corresponding period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in other income relating to profits associated with a joint venture in the nuclear market. This was partially offset by a decline in interest expense of $0.1 million resulting from reduced debt levels.

Income Tax Expense


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021
Income tax expense	$	229	$	185

Income tax expense for the interim periods is based on estimates of the effective tax rate for the entire fiscal year. The effective income tax rate is based upon the estimated income during the calendar year, the estimated composition of the income in different jurisdictions and discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for settlements of tax audits or assessments and the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties.

Discontinued Operations

See “Note 4—Changes in Business” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for information regarding discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and effective management of our working capital. Our principal uses of cash were to pay for customer contract-related material, labor and subcontract labor, operating expenses, and interest expense on the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility. See discussion in “Note 8—Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information about the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility.

Net Cash Flows

Our net consolidated cash flows, including cash flows related to discontinued operations, consisted of the following:

Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	2,516	$	(3,121)

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		201		(90)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	1,778	$	(3,272)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2022, our operating unrestricted cash and cash equivalents increased $1.8 million to $4.3 million from $2.5 million as of December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, $0.1 million of operating cash was held in U.S. bank accounts and

Table of Contents

$4.2 million was held in Canada. Total liquidity (the sum of unrestricted cash and availability under the Revolving Credit Facility) was $26.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings sources and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of working capital balances related to our projects. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.6 million, an increase in cash provided of $5.6 million compared to the corresponding period in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.7 million and an increase in accounts payable of $4.2 million. This increase in cash provided was partially offset by an increase in other assets of $1.4 million.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities were insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2022, consistent with the corresponding period in 2021.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million was primarily composed of cash used by our repayments from customer cash receipts exceeding our borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility by $0.7 million, coupled with a $0.3 million payment on our Term Loan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to cash used in connection with our stock-based awards for payments for statutory taxes of $0.5 million, partially offset by cash provided from our borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeding our repayments from customer cash receipts by $0.8 million.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

For both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the effect of Canadian foreign exchange rate changes on our cash balances was not material.

Dividends

We do not currently anticipate declaring dividends in the near future. As of March 31, 2022, the terms of the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility restricted our ability to pay dividends. In addition, the timing and amounts of any dividends would be subject to determination and approval by our Board of Directors.

Liquidity Outlook

Overall, while we anticipate we will experience periodic short-term constraints on our liquidity as a result of the cash flow requirements of specific projects through the third quarter 2022, we expect our liquidity situation to have stabilized at an improved level by the fourth quarter of 2022. Such constraints on our liquidity could affect our ability to remain in compliance with our debt covenants, as we make investments in our business, in which case, we may need to seek an amendment to or waiver of certain relevant financial covenants under our credit facilities. We expect to maintain sufficient liquidity by managing our expenses and borrowing and repayments of our Revolving Credit Facility. A high percentage of our cost of service comes from weekly craft labor payrolls, and the lag between incurrence of those payrolls and the subsequent collection of the resulting customer billings results in negative cash flows for that time period. Although we utilize the Revolving Credit Facility to address those time period negative cash flows, contract terms restricting customer invoicing frequency, delays in customer payments, and underlying surety bonds negatively impact our available borrowing base. We believe that we have sufficient resources to satisfy our working capital requirements through the next 12 months and our long-term liquidity needs and foreseeable material cash requirements, as we strategically use our $30.0 million borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and continue to implement our future growth initiatives. A variety of factors can affect our short- and long-term liquidity, which impact could be material, including, but not limited to: cash for operations; matters relating to our contracts, including contracts billed based on milestones that may require us to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from our customers and others that allow for significant upfront billing at the beginning of a project, which temporarily increases liquidity in the near term; the outcome of potential contract disputes, which may be significant; payment collection issues, including those caused by economic slowdowns or other factors which can lead to credit deterioration of our customers; required payments on the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility and on our operating and finance leases; pension

Table of Contents

obligations requiring annual contributions to multiemployer pension plans; insurance coverage for contracts that require us to indemnify third parties; and issuances of letters of credit. We believe that we have adequate sources of liquidity to meet our long-term liquidity needs of developing key management and craft personnel, enhancing our services to meet new opportunities and obtaining the amount of capital needed to drive our long-term growth initiatives of attracting new customers and expanding our market reach. In the event that we are unable to address any potential liquidity shortfalls that may arise in the future, management will need to seek additional funding, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

While we do not expect the COVID-19 pandemic to materially adversely affect us, we currently cannot predict the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, or on our customers, as such impact is dependent on future developments, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy. Management will continue to closely monitor conditions using the data available and will draw on the expertise of health officials. Any recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic impact may be slowed or reversed by a number of factors, including the continued sporadic outbreaks of COVID-19 cases, the ongoing spread of new COVID-19 variants and the impact of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, and even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience an adverse impact to our business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Our liquidity is currently not dependent on the use of off-balance sheet transactions but, in line with industry practice, we are often required to provide payment and performance surety bonds to customers and may be required to provide letters of credit. If performance assurances are extended to customers, generally our maximum potential exposure is limited in the contract with our customers. We frequently obtain similar performance assurances from third-party vendors and subcontractors for work performed in the ordinary course of contract execution. However, the total costs of a project could exceed our original cost estimates, and we could experience reduced gross profit or possibly a loss for a given project. In some cases, if we fail to meet certain performance standards, we may be subject to contractual liquidated damages.

As of March 31, 2022, we had a contingent liability for issued and outstanding standby letters of credit, generally issued to secure performance on customer contracts. As of March 31, 2022, we had $0.5 million outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility sublimit and $0.4 million of outstanding cash collateralized standby letters of credit pursuant to a prior revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and there were no amounts drawn upon these letters of credit. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds of $64.6 million. Our subsidiaries also provide financial guarantees for certain contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as set forth in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2021 Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Table of Contents

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Solely as a result of the material weakness described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, notwithstanding the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have determined that we did not design and maintain effective user access controls to adequately restrict user access and the ability to modify financial data within certain financial applications, including ensuring appropriate segregation of duties relating to the preparation and review of journal entries in these financial applications. This control deficiency did not result in a misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements. However, this control deficiency could have resulted in misstatements of interim or annual consolidated financial statements and disclosures that may have been material. Therefore, management has concluded that: (1) this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness; and (2) in turn, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022.

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness

Management has evaluated the material weakness described above and is in the process of updating its design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting to remediate the aforementioned material weakness and enhance the Company’s internal control environment. However, the implemented and enhanced controls have not operated for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate that the material weakness was remediated as of March 31, 2022. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Under the applicable SEC rules, management is required to evaluate any changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during each fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Other than the changes described above regarding enhancements associated with ongoing remediation efforts, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, we are engaged in a transformation project to upgrade our ERP system to a cloud-based platform to increase efficiency, provide additional process capabilities and enhance information security. We currently expect this upgrade to be completed in early 2023.
