Basis of Presentation | |
Harsco Corporation (the “Company”) has prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) that are necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2013 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was derived from the 2013 audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for an annual report. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
Operating results and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. | |
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded out-of-period adjustments that had the net effect of decreasing after-tax income by $1.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. The adjustments are primarily the result of correcting expenses that should not have been capitalized in accordance with the Company’s policies and revenue that should not have been recorded in accordance with a customer contract. The Company assessed the individual and aggregate impact of these adjustments on the current year and all prior periods and determined that the cumulative effect of the adjustments was not material to the expected full-year 2014 results, and did not result in a material misstatement to any previously issued annual or quarterly financial statements. Consequently, the Company recorded the $1.7 million net adjustment in the second quarter of 2014 and has not revised any previously issued annual financial statements or interim financial data. |

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |
The following accounting standards have been adopted in 2014: | |
On January 1, 2014, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued changes related to a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The changes resolve diversity in practice related to these matters. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. | |
On January 1, 2014, the Company adopted FASB issued changes related to financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists that could be used to offset the liability for an uncertain tax position. The changes resolve diversity in practice related to these matters. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. | |
The following accounting standards have been issued and become effective for the Company at a future date: | |
In April 2014, the FASB issued changes related to reporting discontinued operations and disclosure of disposals of components of an entity. The changes modify the criteria related to what transactions constitute discontinued operations and expands disclosure requirements. The changes become effective for the Company, prospectively, on January 1, 2015. Management has determined that these changes will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued changes related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The changes clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and develop a common revenue standard. The core principle of the changes is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The changes also require additional disclosures related to revenue recognition. The changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating these changes. | |
In August 2014, the FASB issued changes related to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Management has determined that these changes will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

Acquisitions and Dispositions | |
Acquisitions | |
In January 2014, the Company acquired Hammco Corporation ("Hammco"), a U.S. manufacturer of high specification air-cooled heat exchangers for the natural gas and petrochemical processing markets. Hammco has been included in the results of the Harsco Industrial Segment. Inclusion of pro forma financial information for this transaction is not necessary due to the immaterial size of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is now final. | |
Dispositions | |
In November 2013, the Company consummated the previously announced transaction to sell the Company's Harsco Infrastructure Segment into a strategic venture with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice ("CD&R") as part of a transaction that combines the Harsco Infrastructure Segment with Brand Energy & Infrastructure Services, Inc., which CD&R simultaneously acquired (the "Infrastructure Transaction"). The Company has contributed substantially all of the Company's equity interest in, and the net assets of, the Harsco Infrastructure Segment to the strategic venture in exchange for $300 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments, and an approximate 29% equity interest in the resulting entity (the "Infrastructure strategic venture" or "Brand"). The Company's equity interest in the Infrastructure strategic venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as prescribed by U.S. GAAP. See Note 5, Equity Method Investments, for additional information on equity method investments. | |
As a result of the Infrastructure Transaction, the Company recorded an estimated loss on disposal of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment of $271.3 million during 2013 and recorded an additional loss of $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company does not anticipate any further adjustments to the loss on disposal of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 3, Acquisitions and Dispositions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information on the Company's policy on impairment of long-lived assets (other than goodwill) and the loss on disposal of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment. | |
Additionally, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $1.7 million of transaction costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, in conjunction with the Infrastructure Transaction. |

As a result of the Infrastructure Transaction, the Company possessed an approximate 29% equity interest in Brand at September 30, 2014. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Dispositions, for additional information related to the Infrastructure Transaction. | |||||||||
Brand is a leading provider of specialized services to the global energy, industrial and infrastructure markets that combines a global footprint, broad service offerings and rigorous operating processes to support customer required facility maintenance and turnaround needs and capital driven upgrade and expansion plans. Brand's range of services includes work access, corrosion management, atmospheric and immersion coatings, insulation services, fireproofing and refractory, mechanical services, forming and shoring and other complementary specialty services. Brand delivers services through a global network of strategically located branches in six continents with a particular focus on major hydrocarbon and power generation markets globally. In addition, Brand has co-located branches at energy-related customer facilities providing a consistent presence for required maintenance work. | |||||||||
The book value of the Company's investment in Brand at September 30, 2014 was $299.6 million. The Company records the Company's proportionate share of Brand's net income or loss one quarter in arrears. Brand's results of operations for the three- month period ended June 30, 2014 and the period from November 27, 2013 through June 30, 2014 are summarized as follows: | |||||||||

(a) The Company's equity method investment in Brand began on November 26, 2013; accordingly, there is only approximately seven months of related equity income. The results of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment from January 1, 2013 through the date of closing are reported in the Company's results of operations for 2013. | |||||||||
As part of the Infrastructure Transaction, the Company is required to make a quarterly payment to the Company's partner in the Infrastructure strategic venture, either (at the Company's election) (i) in cash, with total payments to equal approximately $22 million per year on a pre-tax basis (approximately $15 million per year after-tax), or (ii) in kind through the transfer of approximately 2.5% of the Company's ownership interest in the Infrastructure strategic venture on an annual basis (the "unit adjustment liability"). The resulting liability is reflected in the caption, Unit adjustment liability, on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will recognize the change in fair value to the unit adjustment liability each period until the Company is no longer required to make these payments or chooses not to make these payments. The change in fair value to the unit adjustment liability is a non-cash expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized $2.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of change in fair value to the unit adjustment liability. | |||||||||
The Company's obligation to make a quarterly payment will cease upon the earlier of (i) Brand achieving $487.0 million in last twelve months' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for three quarters, which need not be consecutive, or (ii) eight years after the closing of the Infrastructure Transaction. In addition, upon the initial public offering of Brand, the Company's quarterly payment obligation will decrease by the portion of CD&R's ownership interest sold or eliminated completely once CD&R's ownership interest in Brand falls below 20%. In the event of a liquidation of Brand, CD&R is entitled to a liquidation preference of approximately $336 million, plus any quarterly payments that had been paid in kind. | |||||||||
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include balances related to the unit adjustment liability of $97.0 million and $106.3 million, respectively, in the current and non-current captions, Unit adjustment liability. | |||||||||
The Company intends to make these quarterly payments in cash and will continue to evaluate the implications of making payments in cash or in kind based upon performance of the Infrastructure strategic venture. In the future, should the Company decide not to make the cash payment, the value of both the equity method investment in Brand and the related unit adjustment liability may be impacted, and the change may be reflected in earnings in that period. | |||||||||
Balances related to transactions between the Company and Brand are as follows: | |||||||||

Balances due to Brand | 39,607 | 149,325 | |||||||
These balances between the Company and Brand relate primarily to the finalization of the Infrastructure Transaction, including transition services and the funding of certain transferred defined benefit pension plan obligations through 2018. There is not expected to be any significant level of revenue or expense between the Company and Brand on an ongoing basis once all aspects of the Infrastructure Transaction have been finalized. | |||||||||
No instances of impairment were noted on the Company's equity method investments as of September 30, 2014. |

The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to dispose of a business. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitors for triggering events on an ongoing basis. The Company determined that, as of September 30, 2014, no interim goodwill impairment testing was necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing will not result in a charge to earnings. Any impairment could result in the write-down of the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Income Taxes | |
The effective income tax rate related to continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 36.5% and 47.7%, respectively, compared with (4.9)% and (16.3)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The effective income tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 changed primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of the loss on disposal of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment and transaction costs during 2013. | |
An income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on technical merits, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes. The unrecognized income tax benefit at September 30, 2014 was $16.4 million, including interest and penalties. Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that up to $0.4 million of unrecognized income tax benefits will be recognized upon settlement of tax examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations. |

Environmental | |
The Company is involved in a number of environmental remediation investigations and cleanups and, along with other companies, has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” for certain waste disposal sites. While each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, it is probable that the Company will agree to make payments toward funding certain of these activities and it is possible that some of these matters will be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company has evaluated its potential liability, and its financial exposure is dependent upon such factors as the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the allocation of cost among potentially responsible parties, the years of remedial activity required and the remediation methods selected. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include accruals in Other current liabilities of $1.2 million, for each period, for environmental matters. The amounts charged against Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and equity income related to environmental matters totaled $0.4 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The amounts charged against pre-tax income related to environmental matters totaled $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. | |
The Company evaluates its liability for future environmental remediation costs on a quarterly basis. Although actual costs to be incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from the estimates (given inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures), the Company does not expect that any costs that are reasonably possible to be incurred by the Company in connection with environmental matters in excess of the amounts accrued would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | |
Brazilian Tax Disputes | |
The Company is involved in a number of tax disputes with federal, state and municipal tax authorities in Brazil. These disputes are at various stages of the legal process, including the administrative review phase and the collection action phase, and include assessments of fixed amounts of principal and penalties, plus interest charges that increase at statutorily determined amounts per month and are assessed on the aggregate amount of the principal and penalties. In addition, the losing party at the collection action or court of appeals phase could be subject to a charge to cover statutorily mandated legal fees, which are generally calculated as a percentage of the total assessed amounts due, inclusive of penalty and interest. A large number of the claims relate to value-added ("ICMS") services and social security ("INSS") tax disputes. The largest proportion of the assessed amounts relate to ICMS claims filed by the State Revenue Authorities from the State of São Paulo, Brazil (the "SPRA"), encompassing the period from January 2002 to May 2005. | |
In October 2009, the Company received notification of the SPRA’s final administrative decision regarding the levying of ICMS in the State of São Paulo in relation to services provided to a customer in the State between January 2004 and May 2005. As of September 30, 2014, the principal amount of the tax assessment from the SPRA with regard to this case was approximately $2 million, with penalty, interest and fees assessed to date increasing such amount by an additional $27 million. Any change in the aggregate amount since the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects an increase in assessed interest and statutorily mandated legal fees for the period and includes the effect of foreign currency translation. | |
Another ICMS tax case involving the SPRA refers to the tax period from January 2002 to December 2003. This case is still pending at the administrative phase, where the aggregate amount assessed by the tax authorities in August 2005 was $10.3 million (the amounts with regard to this claim are valued as of the date of the assessment since it has not yet reached the collection phase), composed of a principal amount of $2.4 million, with penalty and interest assessed through that date increasing such amount by an additional $7.9 million. All such amounts include the effect of foreign currency translation. | |
The Company continues to believe it is not probable that it will incur a loss for these assessments by the SPRA. The Company also continues to believe that sufficient coverage for these claims exists as a result of the Company’s customer’s indemnification obligations and such customer’s pledge of assets in connection with the October 2009 notice, as required by Brazilian procedure. | |
The Company intends to continue its practice of vigorously defending itself against these tax claims under various alternatives, including judicial appeal. The Company will continue to evaluate its potential liability with regard to these claims on a quarterly basis; however, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these tax-related disputes in Brazil. No loss provision has been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements because the loss contingency is not deemed probable, and the Company does not expect that any costs that are reasonably possible to be incurred by the Company in connection with Brazilian tax disputes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | |
Brazilian Labor Disputes | |
The Company is subject to numerous labor claims in Brazil through its Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment. The Company is vigorously defending itself against these claims; however, litigation is inherently unpredictable, particularly in foreign jurisdictions. While the Company does not currently expect that the ultimate resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these labor-related disputes. | |
The Company is conducting a heightened review of these labor claims, including the established reserves relating to the claims, which could result in the Company increasing its reserves or taking other actions as it continues to evaluate its potential liability with regard to these claims. | |
Customer Disputes | |
The Company, through its Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment, provides services to ArcelorMittal and/or various of its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "ArcelorMittal") through long-term service contracts on a number of sites worldwide. Currently, ArcelorMittal and the Company are involved in several commercial disputes, some of which may result in legal or other action. Both the Company and ArcelorMittal are working to resolve these matters. Additionally, a supplier at one of ArcelorMittal’s sites has filed for arbitration against the Company, claiming that it is owed monetary damages from the Company in connection with its processing certain materials. The Company disputes that it is responsible for such processing and intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim, although the Company is working to amicably resolve this matter. No loss provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements in connection with the arbitration because a loss contingency is not deemed probable, nor can the Company estimate the amount of such loss. However, based on the information currently available to the Company, the Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of this arbitration will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Furthermore, the Company, through its Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment, may become involved in commercial disputes with other customers. Although results of operations and cash flows for a given period could be adversely affected by a negative outcome in these or other lawsuits, claims and proceedings, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | |
Other | |
In the United States, the Company has been named as one of many defendants (approximately 90 or more in most cases) in legal actions alleging personal injury from exposure to airborne asbestos over the past several decades. In their suits, the plaintiffs have named as defendants, among others, many manufacturers, distributors and installers of numerous types of equipment or products that allegedly contained asbestos. | |
The Company believes that the claims against it are without merit. The Company has never been a producer, manufacturer or processor of asbestos fibers. Any component within a Company product that may have contained asbestos would have been purchased from a supplier. Based on scientific and medical evidence, the Company believes that any asbestos exposure arising from normal use of any Company product never presented any harmful levels of airborne asbestos exposure, and, moreover, the type of asbestos contained in any component that was used in those products was protectively encapsulated in other materials and is not associated with the types of injuries alleged in the pending suits. Finally, in most of the depositions taken of plaintiffs to date in the litigation against the Company, plaintiffs have failed to specifically identify any Company products as the source of their asbestos exposure. | |
The majority of the asbestos complaints pending against the Company have been filed in New York. Almost all of the New York complaints contain a standard claim for damages of $20 million or $25 million against the approximately 90 defendants, regardless of the individual plaintiff’s alleged medical condition, and without specifically identifying any Company product as the source of plaintiff’s asbestos exposure. | |
As of September 30, 2014, there are 17,366 pending asbestos personal injury claims filed against the Company. Of these cases, 17,017 are pending in the New York Supreme Court for New York County in New York State. The other claims, totaling 349, are filed in various counties in a number of state courts, and in certain Federal District Courts (including New York), and those complaints generally assert lesser amounts of damages than the New York State court cases or do not state any amount claimed. | |
As of September 30, 2014, the Company has obtained dismissal by stipulation, or summary judgment prior to trial, in 27,487 cases. | |
In view of the persistence of asbestos litigation nationwide, the Company expects to continue to receive additional claims. However, there have been developments during the past several years, both by certain state legislatures and by certain state courts, which could favorably affect the Company’s ability to defend these asbestos claims in those jurisdictions. These developments include procedural changes, docketing changes, proof of damage requirements and other changes that require plaintiffs to follow specific procedures in bringing their claims and to show proof of damages before they can proceed with their claim. An example is the action taken by the New York Supreme Court (a trial court), which is responsible for managing all asbestos cases pending within New York County in the State of New York. This Court issued an order in December 2002 that created a Deferred or Inactive Docket for all pending and future asbestos claims filed by plaintiffs who cannot demonstrate that they have a malignant condition or discernible physical impairment, and an Active or In Extremis Docket for plaintiffs who are able to show such medical condition. As a result of this order, the majority of the asbestos cases filed against the Company in New York County have been moved to the Inactive Docket until such time as the plaintiffs can show that they have incurred a physical impairment. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has been listed as a defendant in 167 Active or In Extremis asbestos cases in New York County. The Court’s Order has been challenged by some plaintiffs. | |
The Company’s insurance carrier has paid substaintally all legal and settlement costs and expenses to date related to the Company’s U.S. asbestos cases. The Company has liability insurance coverage under various primary and excess policies that the Company believes will be available, if necessary, to substantially cover any liability that might ultimately be incurred on these claims. | |
The Company intends to continue its practice of vigorously defending these claims and cases. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings due to the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation, and no loss provision has been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements because a loss contingency is not deemed probable or estimable. Despite this uncertainty, and although results of operations and cash flows for a given period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company does not expect that any costs that are reasonably possible to be incurred by the Company in connection with asbestos litigation would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | |
The Company is subject to various other claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arose in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance or by established reserves, and, if not so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. | |
Insurance liabilities are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred for a particular event and the amount of loss associated with the event can be reasonably estimated. Insurance reserves have been estimated based primarily upon actuarial calculations and reflect the undiscounted estimated liabilities for ultimate losses, including claims incurred but not reported. Inherent in these estimates are assumptions that are based on the Company’s history of claims and losses, a detailed analysis of existing claims with respect to potential value, and current legal and legislative trends. If actual claims differ from those projected by management, changes (either increases or decreases) to insurance reserves may be required and would be recorded through income in the period the change was determined. When a recognized liability is covered by third-party insurance, the Company records an insurance claim receivable to reflect the covered liability. Insurance claim receivables are included in Other receivables on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information on Accrued Insurance and Loss Reserves. |

Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward exchange contracts, cross-currency interest rate swaps and, at times, commodity contracts, to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures. Derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools by the Company and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. | ||||||||||||||||||
All derivative instruments are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge foreign currency denominated balance sheet items are reported directly in earnings, along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Derivatives used to hedge forecasted cash flows associated with foreign currency commitments or forecasted commodity purchases may be accounted for as cash flow hedges, as deemed appropriate and if the criteria for hedge accounting are met. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are deferred as a separate component of equity and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. Generally, at September 30, 2014, these deferred gains and losses are reclassified to earnings over 10 to 15 years from the balance sheet date. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. | ||||||||||||||||||

All of the Company's derivatives are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at gross amounts and not offset. All of the Company's cross-currency interest rate swaps and certain foreign currency forward exchange contracts are transacted under International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") documentation. Each ISDA master agreement permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default. The Company's derivative assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting arrangements resulted in a $0.1 million or less net liability at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company conducts business in multiple currencies and, accordingly, is subject to the inherent risks associated with foreign exchange rate movements. The financial position and results of operations of substantially all of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. The aggregate effects of translating the balance sheets of these subsidiaries are deferred and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a separate component of equity. | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge cash flows related to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding are part of a worldwide program to minimize foreign currency exchange operating income and balance sheet exposure by offsetting foreign currency exposures of certain future payments between the Company and its various subsidiaries, suppliers or customers. These unsecured contracts are with major financial institutions. The Company may be exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the contract counterparties. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of the counterparties and does not expect default by them. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are used to hedge commitments, such as foreign currency debt, firm purchase commitments and foreign currency cash flows for certain export sales transactions. | ||||||||||||||||||
The following tables summarize, by major currency, the contractual amounts of the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The “Buy” amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase foreign currencies, and the “Sell” amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies. The recognized gains and losses offset amounts recognized in cost of services and products sold principally as a result of intercompany or third party foreign currency exposures. | ||||||||||||||||||

The Company has recognized a $0.7 million mark-to-market liability associated with these foreign currency exchange forward contracts. | ||||||||||||||||||
In addition to foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the Company designates certain loans as hedges of net investments in international subsidiaries. The Company recorded pre-tax net gains of $15.1 million and $20.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and pre-tax net losses of $4.9 million and $8.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, into Accumulated other comprehensive loss. | ||||||||||||||||||
Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses cross-currency interest rate swaps in conjunction with certain debt issuances in order to secure a fixed local currency interest rate. Under these cross-currency interest rate swaps, the Company receives interest based on a fixed or floating U.S. dollar rate and pays interest on a fixed local currency rate based on the contractual amounts in dollars and the local currency, respectively. The cross-currency interest rate swaps are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in value attributed to the effect of the swaps’ interest spread recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in value attributed to the effect of foreign currency fluctuations are recorded in the statements of operations and offset currency fluctuation effects on the debt principal. The following table indicates the contractual amounts of the Company's cross-currency interest rate swaps at September 30, 2014: | ||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value of Derivative Assets and Liabilities and Other Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||||||||
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that the Company believes market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. | ||||||||||||||||||
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: | ||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |||||||||||||||||
• | Level 3—Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. | |||||||||||||||||
In instances in which multiple levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, hierarchy classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||||||
The following table indicates the fair value hierarchy of the financial instruments of the Company at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013: | ||||||||||||||||||

The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs, such as forward rates, interest rates, the Company’s credit risk and counterparties’ credit risks, and which minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the ability to observe those inputs. Commodity derivatives, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 fair value based upon pricing models using market-based inputs. Model inputs can be verified, and valuation techniques do not involve significant management judgment. | ||||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $842.5 million and $832.6 million, respectively, compared with a carrying value of $806.0 million and $803.4 million, respectively, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Fair values for debt are based on quoted market prices (Level 1) for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. |

Restructuring Programs | |||||||||||||||||||||
In recent years, the Company has instituted restructuring programs to balance short-term profitability goals with long-term strategies. A primary objective of these programs has been to establish platforms upon which the affected businesses can grow with reduced fixed investment and generate annual operating expense savings. The restructuring programs have been instituted in response to the continuing impact of global financial and economic uncertainty on the Company’s end markets. Restructuring costs incurred in these programs were recorded in the Other expenses caption of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent on the type of restructuring cost and can extend over a multi-year period. | |||||||||||||||||||||

The Company incurred $0.3 million and $8.8 million in charges related to Project Orion during the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. Phase one of Project Orion began in the second quarter of 2014 and is expected to continue through the remainder of 2014.
