FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2014
(Unaudited)
1. General and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General
The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Furmanite Corporation (the “Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Furmanite”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recorded in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, when realized or realizable, and earned.
Revenues are recognized using the completed-contract method, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax. Substantially all projects are short term in nature; however, the Company occasionally enters into contracts that are longer in duration that represent multiple element arrangements, which include a combination of services and products. The Company separates deliverables into units of accounting based on whether the deliverables have standalone value to the customer. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price generally determined using vendor specific objective evidence. Revenues are recognized for the separate units of accounting when services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered and risk of ownership has passed to the customer. The Company provides limited warranties to customers, depending upon the service performed. Warranty claim costs were not material during either of the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly based on related service levels and functionality, and carrying cost is reduced to net realizable value for inventories in which their cost exceeds their utility, due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or other causes. The cost of inventories consumed or products sold is included in operating costs.
Operating Costs
Operating costs include direct and indirect labor along with related fringe benefits, materials, freight, travel, engineering, vehicles, equipment rental and restructuring charges, and are expensed when the associated revenue is recognized or as incurred. Direct costs related to projects for which the earnings process has not been completed and therefore not qualifying for revenue recognition are recorded as work-in-process inventory.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll and related fringe benefits, marketing, travel, rent, information technology, insurance, professional fees and restructuring charges, and are expensed as incurred.
9
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These balances are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the year(s) in which these temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as an income tax expense or benefit in the period when the change is enacted.
Based on consideration of all available evidence regarding their utilization, net deferred tax assets are recorded to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Where, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established for that amount that, in management’s judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In concluding whether a valuation allowance on domestic federal, state or foreign income taxes is required, the Company considers all relevant factors, including the history of operating income and losses, future taxable income and the nature of the deferred tax assets.
Income tax expense differs from the expected tax at statutory rates due primarily to changes in valuation allowances for certain deferred tax assets and different tax rates in the various foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the aggregate tax expense is not always consistent when comparing periods due to the changing mix of income (loss) before income taxes within the countries in which the Company operates. Interim period income tax expense or benefit is computed at the estimated annual effective income tax rate, unless adjusted for specific discrete items as required.
The tax benefit from uncertain tax positions is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. Uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions would not impact the effective foreign tax rate where unrecognized non-current tax benefits are offset by fully reserved net operating loss carryforwards. The Company recognizes interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized non-current tax benefits as part of the income tax provision.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides for a single five-step model to be applied in determining the amount and timing of the recognition of revenue related to contracts with customers. The new guidance also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the guidance. There is no option for early adoption. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
2. Acquisition
On August 30, 2013, Furmanite America, Inc. (“Furmanite America”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, completed the acquisition of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities, all of which relate to operations in the Americas, of the Engineering and Construction segment of ENGlobal Corporation (“ENGlobal”) for a total consideration of approximately $18.8 million. In conjunction with the closing of the transaction, the Company’s Furmanite Technical Solutions division was formed, which is included within the Company’s Engineering & Project Solutions segment. Assets purchased and liabilities assumed by Furmanite America include working capital assets and liabilities, property and equipment, intangible assets and lease obligations. The purchase was made pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) dated July 15, 2013, with an amendment to the APA reducing the purchase price for the changes in the estimated net working capital balance and $0.5 million, and finalizing the terms and conditions of the transaction. On August 30, 2013, Furmanite America made a cash payment of approximately $15.8 million for the estimated acquired net working capital, net of reserves. The working capital payment is subject to adjustment, which was initially to be determined within 90 days from the close of the transaction, for any changes based upon the final balance sheet, however, by mutual agreement of the parties, the determination date has been extended. In addition, Furmanite America entered into a four-year 4% interest per annum promissory note with ENGlobal in the principal amount of $3.0 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company borrowed $20.0 million on its existing revolving credit facility, principally to fund the purchase of the acquired working capital, with the remaining funds to be available to cover any transitional short-term cash flow needs.
10
3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated as net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which includes restricted stock. Restricted shares of the Company’s common stock have full voting rights and participate equally with common stock in dividends declared, if any, and undistributed earnings. As participating securities, the shares of restricted stock are included in the calculation of basic EPS using the two-class method. For the periods presented, the amount of earnings allocated to the participating securities was not material. Diluted earnings per share assumes issuance of the net incremental shares from stock options and restricted stock units when dilutive. The weighted-average common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share reflect the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents including options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted stock units, using the treasury stock method.
Basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding and earnings per share include the following (in thousands, except per share data):

5. Restructuring
The Company committed to certain cost reduction initiatives during 2010 and 2012, including planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company took these specific actions in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues.
2010 Cost Reduction Initiative
The Company committed to a cost reduction initiative in 2010 (the “2010 Cost Reduction Initiative”), primarily related to the restructuring of certain functions within the Company’s EMEA operations (which include operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) in order to improve the operational and administrative efficiency of its EMEA operations. The Company had substantially completed the 2010 Cost Reduction Initiative at the end of 2012, with total costs incurred since its inception of approximately $3.9 million. As of June 30, 2014, future cash payments of approximately $0.4 million are expected in connection with this initiative, all of which are expected to be paid in 2014. The Company incurred a reduction in restructuring costs of $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 related to this initiative. There were no restructuring costs incurred during the three or six months ended June 30, 2013 related to this initiative.
2012 Cost Reduction Initiative
In 2012, the Company committed to another cost reduction initiative (the “2012 Cost Reduction Initiative”) related to further restructuring of its European operations within EMEA. This restructuring initiative included additional workforce reductions throughout the Company’s operating, selling, general and administrative functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to further reduce administrative and overhead expenses and streamline its European operations’ structure for improved operational efficiencies in the wake of the continued challenging economic conditions in the region. The Company had substantially completed the 2012 Cost Reduction Initiative at the end of 2012, with total restructuring costs incurred since inception of approximately $3.3 million, which primarily related to one-time termination benefits. Future cash payments in connection with this initiative are expected to be insignificant. There were no restructuring costs incurred for either the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013 related to this initiative.
Estimated and actual expenses including severance, lease cancellations, and other restructuring costs, in connection with these initiatives, have been recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and FASB ASC 712-10, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.
The activity related to reserves associated with the remaining cost reduction initiatives for the six months ended June 30, 2014, is as follows (in thousands):

Credit Facilities
On March 5, 2012, certain foreign subsidiaries (the “foreign subsidiary designated borrowers”) of Furmanite Worldwide, Inc. (“FWI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and FWI entered into a credit agreement with a banking syndicate led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement matures on February 28, 2017. On August 27, 2013, FWI and the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment includes several modifications, including increasing the revolving credit facility from $75.0 million to $100.0 million and increasing the portion of the amount available for swing line loans to FWI from $7.5 million to $10.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The loans outstanding to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers under the Credit Agreement may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.
At both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $59.3 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates (based on the prime rate, federal funds rate or Eurocurrency rate, at the option of the borrower, including a margin above such rates, and subject to an adjustment based on a calculated Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (the “Leverage Ratio” as defined in the Credit Agreement)), which was 1.9% at June 30, 2014. On April 30, 2013, the Company entered into a forward-dated interest rate swap to mitigate the risk of changes in the variable interest rate. The effect of the swap is to fix the interest rate at 0.75% plus the margin and Leverage Ratio adjustment, as described above, beginning April 29, 2014 through February 28, 2017 on $39.3 million of the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement. See Note 10 for further information regarding the interest rate swap. The Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.30% based on the Leverage Ratio (0.25% at June 30, 2014), and is based on the unused portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash expenses minus income tax credits and non-cash items increasing net income (loss) as defined in the Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets (which approximated $212.1 million as of June 30, 2014). The Parent Company has granted a security interest in its stock of FWI as collateral security for the lenders under the Credit Agreement, but is not a party to the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants, which require that the Company maintain: (i) a Leverage Ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing four-quarters basis, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00, defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures / interest plus cash taxes plus scheduled payments of debt plus Restricted Payments made (i.e., all dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock, sinking funds or similar deposits on account thereof or other returns of capital, redemption or repurchases of equity interests, and any payments to the Parent Company or its subsidiaries (other than FWI and its subsidiaries)), and (iii) a minimum asset coverage of at least 1.50 to 1.00, defined as cash plus net accounts receivable plus net inventory plus net property, plant and equipment of FWI and its material subsidiaries that are subject to a first priority perfected lien in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders / Funded Debt. FWI is also subject to certain other compliance provisions including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, guarantees, dividends and other contingent obligations and transactions. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants or breach of representations and warranties. At June 30, 2014, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Considering the outstanding borrowings of $59.3 million, and $2.0 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $38.7 million at June 30, 2014.

Notes Payable and Other Debt
On August 30, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of assets of the ENGlobal’s Engineering & Construction segment, the Company issued a $3.0 million promissory note, which bears interest at 4.0% per annum and will be paid in four equal annual installments of $0.8 million beginning September 1, 2014, with the final payment due on September 1, 2017.
On February 28, 2013, in connection with an asset purchase, the Company issued a $0.9 million note payable, which was paid at maturity on March 1, 2014.
On January 1, 2013, in connection with an asset purchase, the Company issued a $1.9 million promissory note, which bears interest at 5.0% per annum and is due in four equal annual installments of $0.5 million beginning January 1, 2014, with the final installment payment due on January 1, 2017.
In 2012, the Company incurred $1.4 million of debt in connection with an asset purchase. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $0.2 million remained outstanding, which is payable in installments of approximately $0.1 million due in both 2014 and 2015.
On February 23, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Self Leveling Machines, Inc. and certain assets of Self Levelling Machines Pty. Ltd., the Company issued $5.1 million ($2.9 million denominated in U.S. dollars and $2.2 million denominated in Australian dollars) of notes payable (the “SLM Notes”), payable in installments through February 23, 2013. All obligations under the SLM Notes were secured by a first priority lien on the assets acquired in the acquisition. Upon full settlement of the SLM Notes in February 2013 and resultant release of the lien by the sellers’ equity holders, the acquired assets became assets secured under the Credit Agreement. The SLM Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 2.5% per annum.
7. Retirement Plans
Two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans, one plan covering certain of its United Kingdom employees (the “U.K. Plan”) and the other covering certain of its Norwegian employees (the “Norwegian Plan”). As the Norwegian Plan represents less than three percent of both the Company’s total pension plan liabilities and total pension plan assets, only the schedule of net periodic pension cost includes combined amounts from the two plans, while assumption and narrative information relates solely to the U.K. Plan.
Net periodic pension cost for the U.K. and Norwegian Plans includes the following components (in thousands):

The expected long-term rate of return on invested assets is determined based on the weighted average of expected returns on asset investment categories as follows: 6.2% overall, 7.6% for equities and 4.1% for bonds. The Company expects to contribute $1.7 million to the pension plan for 2014, of which $0.9 million has been contributed through June 30, 2014.
8. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has equity compensation plans and agreements for officers, directors and key employees which allow for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the total compensation cost charged against income and included in selling, general and administrative expenses for stock-based compensation arrangements was $0.6 million and $0.9 million , respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
14
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 24,000 shares of restricted stock awards to its outside directors at a grant date fair value of $11.58 per share, while 20,000 shares of restricted stock awards granted previously to the outside directors vested. Additionally, the vesting of 44,364 restricted stock units previously granted to employees resulted in the issuance of 32,386 shares of common stock, net of 11,978 shares that were withheld for tax obligations of the grantees, as allowed under the plan. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company granted to certain employees an aggregate of 214,418 restricted stock units and options to purchase an aggregate of 133,866 shares of its common stock with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $10.85 and $6.24 per share, respectively. Of the total restricted stock units granted, 65,381 are subject to forfeiture unless certain performance objectives are achieved.
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company granted 30,000 shares of restricted stock awards to its outside directors at a grant date fair value of $6.05 per share, while 40,000 shares of restricted stock awards granted previously to the outside directors vested. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2013 the Company granted 35,000 stock options to an employee at a grant date fair value of $3.51 per share. Also during the first quarter of 2013, the vesting of 46,403 restricted stock units previously granted to employees resulted in the issuance of 36,391 shares of common stock, net of 10,012 shares that were withheld for tax obligations of the grantees, as allowed under the plan. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company granted to certain employees an aggregate of 459,032 restricted stock units and options to purchase an aggregate of 344,900 shares of its common stock with a grant date fair market value of $6.89 and $3.93 per share, respectively. The restricted stock units are subject to forfeiture unless certain performance objectives are achieved.
The aggregate fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. No restricted stock or restricted stock units vested during the three months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
The Company uses authorized but unissued shares of common stock for stock option exercises and restricted stock issuances pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation plan and treasury stock for issuances outside of the plan. As of June 30, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards was $2.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company manages economic risk, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risks primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, to a limited extent, the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
16
On April 30, 2013, the Company entered into a forward-dated interest rate swap to hedge interest rate risk with respect to $39.3 million of borrowings under its Credit Agreement. The Company’s objective in using the interest rate derivative is to manage exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. Upon inception, the interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and involves the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The following table summarizes the terms of the interest rate swap outstanding at June 30, 2014 (in thousands).
Type | Effective Date | Maturity Date | Fixed Rate | Floating Rate | Notional Amount | |||||||
Interest rate swap | April 29, 2014 | February 28, 2017 | 0.75 | % | 1 Month LIBOR | $ | 39,300 |
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instrument as well as its classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands).

Total | $ | 220 | $ | — |
See Note 14 for additional information on the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap.
The Company has concluded that the hedging relationship for the interest rate swap is highly effective. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings and included in interest income and other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of income.
Amounts reported in other comprehensive income related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. At June 30, 2014, the Company estimates that approximately $0.2 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense over the next twelve months.

Derivative financial agreements expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreements. The Company believes it minimizes the credit risk by transacting with major credit-worthy financial institutions.
11. Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively. For these periods, income tax expense reflects the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate considering the statutory rates in the countries in which the Company operates, adjusted for excludable items, and the effects of valuation allowance changes for certain foreign entities.
Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was 40.8% and 39.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 39.3% and 39.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The difference in income tax rates between periods is primarily attributable to changes in the mix of income before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by a full valuation allowance and those that are not, and differing statutory tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
A reconciliation of the change in the unrecognized tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):
Balance at December 31, 2013 | $ | 1,139 | |
Additions based on tax positions | 105 | ||
Reductions due to lapses of statutes of limitations | — | ||
Balance at June 30, 2014 | $ | 1,244 |
Unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for uncertain tax positions, primarily related to transfer pricing, are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and would impact the effective tax rate for certain foreign jurisdictions if recognized.
The Company incurred no significant interest or penalties for the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013 related to underpayments of income taxes or uncertain tax positions.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
The operations of the Company are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions relating to protection of the environment. Although the Company believes its operations are currently in compliance with applicable environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the Company. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from operations of the Company, could result in costs and liabilities to the Company. The Company has recorded, in other liabilities, an undiscounted accrual for environmental liabilities related to the remediation of site contamination for properties in the U.S. in the amount of $0.9 million as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. While there is a reasonable possibility due to the inherent nature of environmental liabilities that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts would be material to its financial statements.
Furmanite America, a subsidiary of the Company, is involved in disputes with a customer, INEOS USA LLC, which claims that the subsidiary failed to provide it with satisfactory services at the customer’s facilities. On April 17, 2009, the customer initiated legal action against the subsidiary in the Common Pleas Court of Allen County, Ohio (the “Court”), alleging that the subsidiary and one of its former employees, who performed data services at one of the customer’s facilities, breached its contract with the customer and failed to provide the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facility. In March 2014, the customer’s claims against the former employee were dismissed and the Court granted partial summary judgment in favor of Furmanite America. The customer’s complaint seeks damages in an amount that the subsidiary believes represents the total proposed civil penalty, plus the cost of unspecified supplemental environmental projects requested by the regulatory agency to reduce air emissions at the customer’s facility, and also seeks unspecified punitive damages.
While the Company cannot make an assessment of the eventual outcome of all matters or determine the extent, if any, of any potential uninsured liability or damage, accruals of $1.9 million, which include the Furmanite America litigation, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. While there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts would be material to its financial statements.
The Company has other contingent liabilities resulting from litigation, claims and commitments incident to the ordinary course of business. Management believes, after consulting with counsel, that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Previously, for financial reporting purposes, the Company reported three segments based on the Company’s three geographical areas: the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. As a result of a business acquisition in 2013, the Company has determined that, for financial reporting purposes, it now operates in two segments that are based on its service and product offerings: 1) Technical Services and 2) Engineering & Project Solutions. Segment results for prior periods have been restated to conform to the current-period presentation.
Included in its Technical Services segment are the specialized technical services the Company provides to a global customer base that includes petroleum refineries, chemical plants, pipelines, offshore drilling and production platforms, steel mills, food and beverage processing facilities, power generation and other flow-process industries. Included in its Engineering & Project Solutions segment are professional engineering, construction management and plant asset management services. These services are provided to customers such as refining and petrochemical operators as well as maintenance, and engineering and construction contractors serving the downstream and midstream oil and gas markets, primarily in the Americas.
The Company evaluates performance based on the operating income (loss) from each segment, which excludes interest income and other income (expense), interest expense and income tax expense (benefit), which are not allocated to the segments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Intersegment revenues are recorded at cost plus a profit margin. All transactions and balances between segments are eliminated in consolidation.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk
Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of the observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard established a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
• | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. |
• | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments. |
• | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial instruments that required disclosure of their fair values on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands).
Fair Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||||
June 30, 2014 | |||||||||||||||
Interest rate swap asset | $ | 28 | $ | — | $ | 28 | $ | — | |||||||
December 31, 2013 | |||||||||||||||
Interest rate swap asset | $ | 220 | $ | — | $ | 220 | $ | — |
The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments. The interest rate swap asset is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis based on models using inputs, such as interest rate yield curves, LIBOR swap curves and OIS curves, observable for substantially the full term of the contract. See Note 10 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swap. The estimated fair value of all debt as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximated the carrying value. These fair values were estimated based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, when quoted market prices were not available. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.
There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
The Company provides services to a domestic and international client base that includes petroleum refineries, chemical plants, offshore energy production platforms, steel mills, nuclear and conventional power stations, pulp and paper mills, food and beverage processing plants, other flow process facilities. The Company does not believe that it has a significant concentration of credit risk at June 30, 2014, as the Company’s accounts receivable are generated from these business industries with customers located throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.

FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Furmanite Corporation included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
Furmanite Corporation, (the “Parent Company”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Furmanite”) was incorporated in 1953. The Parent Company’s common stock, no par value, trades under the ticker symbol “FRM” on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Company conducts its principal business through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, Furmanite Worldwide, Inc., and its domestic and international subsidiaries and affiliates under two operating segments: 1) Technical Services and 2) Engineering & Project Solutions. Previously, for financial reporting purposes, the Company reported three segments based on the Company’s three geographical areas: the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. As a result of a business acquisition in 2013, the Company has determined that, for financial reporting purposes, it now operates in two segments that are based on its service and product offerings. Technical Services provides specialized technical services, which include on-line, off-line and other services. Within these technical services, on-line services include leak sealing, hot tapping, line stopping, line isolation, composite repair, valve testing and certain non-destructive testing and inspection services, while off-line services include on-site machining, heat treatment, bolting, valve repair and other non-destructive testing and inspection services. Other services include smart shim services, concrete repair, engineering services, valves and other products and manufacturing. These services and products are provided primarily to electric power generating plants, the petroleum industry, which include refineries and offshore drilling rigs (including subsea), chemical plants and other process industries in the Americas (which includes operations in North America, South America and Latin America), EMEA (which includes operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia-Pacific. The Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which includes the Company’s Furmanite Technical Solutions (“FTS”) division, provides project planning, professional engineering, downstream non-destructive testing and inspection, construction management, mechanical integrity, field support, quality assurance, and plant asset management services, as well as certain other inspection and project management services. These services are provided to refining and petrochemical operators as well as maintenance, and engineering and construction contractors serving the downstream and midstream oil and gas markets, substantially all of which are in the Americas.
Financial Overview
Consolidated revenues increased $37.8 million, or 34.9%, to $146.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and increased $73.8 million, or 37.4%, to $271.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the prior year periods. The higher revenues were attributable to a combination of increases from the Company’s new Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which was formed following two acquisitions in the prior year, resulting in the creation of the new FTS division in August 2013, as well as increases in off-line services in both the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions of the Technical Services segment, including higher on-site machining, bolting, heat treatment and valve repair service revenues. These increases were partially offset by lower Technical Services revenues in the Americas, primarily within off-line services, partly attributable to the impacts of severe winter weather in the current year. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were impacted by higher selling, general and administrative costs, reflecting the effects of the acquisition, integration and transitional effects of the new Engineering & Project Solutions segment as well as additional personnel and related costs associated with the buildout of the Company’s strategic global organizational structure. These impacts were partially offset by the improved performance in both the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions of the Technical Services segment, which reflect the completion of certain large projects during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The net effect of these factors resulted in a decrease in operating income of $3.3 million and $4.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013.
Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 of $4.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively, represented a decrease of $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company’s diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $0.12 and $0.15, respectively, compared to $0.18 and $0.25 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Revenues
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, consolidated revenues increased by $73.8 million, or 37.4%, to $271.2 million, compared to $197.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenues resulted from a combination of higher revenues in the new Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which increased $67.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as well as higher Technical Services revenues, which increased $6.3 million compared to the same period in 2013. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenues by $1.4 million, of which $3.0 million was related to favorable impacts in EMEA, partially offset by $1.4 million and $0.2 million of unfavorable impacts in Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues within Technical Services increased by $4.9 million, or 2.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. This $4.9 million increase in revenues consisted of increases of $9.5 million and $4.5 million in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively, but was partially offset by a decrease of $9.1 million in the Americas. The increase in Technical Service revenues in EMEA was a result of volume increases in both off-line services and on-line services, which increased approximately 35% and 14%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2013, attributable to certain large projects that were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in off-line services was primarily related to volume increases in on-site machining, which represented approximately 44% of the increase in off-line services, as well as volume increases in heat treatment and valve repair. Within on-line services in EMEA, the increase in revenues was primarily attributable to volume increases in leak sealing, which represented approximately 54% of the increase in on-line services, as well as increases in composite repair and other on-line services. The higher revenues in Asia-Pacific were primarily attributable to volume increases within off-line services, which increased approximately 54% compared to the same period in 2013 and were primarily related to certain large projects that were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2014. These increases in off-line services primarily related to volume increases in bolting, which represented approximately 76% of the increase in off-line services, as well as higher on-site machining and valve repair service revenues. Increases in off-line services in Asia-Pacific were partially offset by lower revenues within on-line services, which primarily consisted of volume decreases in hot tapping services. In the Americas, the decrease in Technical Services revenues was primarily attributable to decreases within off-line services and, to a lesser extent, other products and manufacturing services as well as on-line services, reflecting the impacts of severe winter weather during the six months ended June 30, 2014 that resulted in delays or postponement of certain work. In addition, several large projects were completed in the first half of 2013, which did not recur in the first half of 2014. The lower revenues from off-line services were primarily attributable to volume decreases in heat treatment, bolting and on-site machining revenues, partially offset by moderate increases in certain valve repair revenues. Within on-line services, volume increases in certain non-destructive testing and inspection services were more than offset by volume decreases in hot tapping, leak sealing and other on-line services.
Revenues from the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, substantially all of which relate to the Americas, were $77.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in revenues is a result of an acquisition in August 2013, which resulted in the formation of the new FTS division and added in-plant and in-office engineering services to this segment. The 2013 revenues in this segment primarily reflect process management inspection services that were added in early 2013 as a result of an acquisition.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, consolidated revenues increased by $37.8 million, or 34.9%, to $146.2 million, compared to $108.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenues resulted from a combination of higher revenues in the new Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which increased $35.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as well as higher Technical Services revenues, which increased $2.3 million compared to the same period in 2013. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenues by $1.3 million, of which $1.9 million was related to favorable impacts in EMEA, partially offset by $0.5 million and $0.1 million of unfavorable impacts in Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues within Technical Services increased by $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. This $1.0 million increase in revenues consisted of increases of $3.9 million and $3.6 million in Asia-Pacific and EMEA, respectively, but was largely offset by a decrease of $6.5 million in the Americas. The increase in revenues in Asia-Pacific was primarily attributable to volume increases within off-line services, which increased approximately 70% compared to the same period in 2013 and were primarily attributable to certain large projects that were completed during the three months ended June 30, 2014. These increases in off-line services primarily related to volume increases in bolting, which represented approximately 78% of the increase in off-line services, as well as higher on-site machining revenues. Total revenues from on-line services in Asia-Pacific were comparable to the same period in 2013, as volume decreases in leak sealing services were essentially offset by increases in composite repair and other on-line services. In EMEA, the increase in Technical Service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was a result of volume increases in off-line services, which increased approximately 31% compared to the same period in 2013, partially
25
offset by lower revenues from on-line services. The increase in off-line services was primarily related to volume increases in on-site machining, which represented approximately 70% of the increase in off-line services, as well as volume increases in heat treatment and bolting services. Within on-line services in EMEA, the decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to volume decreases in leak sealing and line stopping services, partially offset by volume increases in composite repair and other on-line services. In the Americas, the decrease in Technical Services revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to decreases within off-line services and, to a lesser extent, on-line services, partially offset by higher revenues from other products and manufacturing services. Further, several large projects were completed in the the three months ended June 30, 2013, which did not recur in the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in off-line services was primarily attributable to volume decreases in heat treatment services, with the balance of the decrease primarily attributable to lower bolting service revenues. Within on-line services, volume increases in certain non-destructive testing and inspection services were more than offset by volume decreases in leak sealing, hot tapping, line stopping and other on-line services.
Revenues from the Engineering & Project Solutions segment were $40.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in revenues is a result of an acquisition in August 2013, which resulted in the formation of the new FTS division and added in-plant and in-office engineering services to this segment. The 2013 revenues in this segment primarily reflect process management inspection services that were added in early 2013 as a result of an acquisition.
Operating Costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, operating costs increased $69.4 million, or 51.6%, to $203.9 million, compared to $134.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was attributable to higher operating costs from the Engineering & Project Solutions segment of $62.9 million, reflecting the addition of the FTS division, as well as higher Technical Services operating costs of $6.5 million. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted costs by $0.8 million, of which $2.0 million was related to unfavorable impacts from EMEA, partially offset by favorable impacts of $1.0 million and $0.2 million in Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs within Technical Services increased $5.7 million, or 4.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. This change consisted of increases of $6.4 million and $3.7 million in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $4.4 million in the Americas. Of the increase in operating costs in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, approximately 60% and 74%, respectively, related to higher labor and travel costs, with the remainder primarily attributable to higher materials and equipment leasing costs, consistent with the higher revenues. The decrease in operating costs in the Americas was primarily related to lower labor and materials costs, associated with the lower revenues. Operating costs for Engineering & Project Solutions, which increased by $62.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, consisted primarily of labor and related expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, operating costs increased $37.5 million, or 52.3%, to $109.2 million, compared to $71.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was attributable to higher operating costs from the Engineering & Project Solutions segment of $33.2 million, reflecting the addition of the FTS division, as well as higher Technical Services operating costs of $4.3 million. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted costs by $0.9 million, of which $1.3 million was related to unfavorable impacts from EMEA , partially offset by favorable impacts of $0.3 million and $0.1 million in Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs within Technical Services increased $3.4 million, or 5.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. This change consisted of increases of $3.0 million and $2.9 million in Asia-Pacific and EMEA, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in the Americas. In Asia-Pacific, approximately 80% of the increase in operating costs was attributable to higher labor and travel costs with the balance of the increase due to higher materials and equipment leasing expenses, attributable to the higher revenues. Of the increase in operating costs in EMEA, approximately 56% related to higher labor and travel costs, with the remainder primarily attributable to higher materials and equipment leasing costs, consistent with the higher revenues. The decrease in operating costs in the Americas was primarily related to lower materials and labor costs, associated with the lower revenues. Operating costs for Engineering & Project Solutions, which increased by $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, consisted primarily of labor and related expenses.
For the Technical Services segment, operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 68.0% from 66.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and increased to 67.6% from 65.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The percentage of operating costs to revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was higher for this segment compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the lower revenues and change in service mix, as well as less efficient utilization of labor in the Americas and lower margins on certain projects in Asia-Pacific. These decreases were partially offset by the effect of higher revenues and improved utilization of labor in EMEA due to certain large projects completed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. For the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, operating costs as a percentage of revenues were 93.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 93.2% in the same period in 2013 and were 93.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 94.2% for the same period in 2013. The types of services provided by the
26
Engineering & Project Solutions segment typically result in higher operating costs as a percentage of revenues than the Company’s Technical Services segment due to various factors, which the Company expects will continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, overall operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 75.2% from 68.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and increased to 74.7% from 66.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As 2014 will reflect the first full year of the FTS division’s operating results, the Company expects that the relationship of overall operating costs to revenues will not be comparable to the prior year percentages, but rather the Technical Services segment’s results will reflect better comparability to 2013 performance.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2013, as a result of an increase in the average balance of depreciable property and equipment associated with $3.7 million of acquisition-related long-term and intangible assets combined with capital expenditures of approximately $9.9 million placed in service over the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates had an insignificant impact on depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Depreciation and amortization expense associated with acquisition-related assets acquired in the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $8.7 million, or 20.9%, to $50.5 million, compared to $41.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase consisted of $5.2 million related to the Engineering & Project Solutions segment and $4.3 million related to the Technical Services segment, partially offset by decreases of $0.8 million associated with corporate-related (“Corporate”) expenses, which are not allocated to the segments. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted costs by $0.2 million, of which $0.5 million was related to unfavorable impacts in EMEA, partially offset by favorable impacts in Asia-Pacific of $0.3 million. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, the increase in selling, general and administrative costs within Technical Services consisted of increases of $4.3 million in the Americas, partially offset by decreases of $0.1 million each in EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Of the increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the Americas, approximately 58% was related to personnel and related costs associated with the buildout of the Company’s strategic global organizational structure with the remainder of the increase primarily attributable to higher professional fees and insurance costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses related to Corporate were down by $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the same period in 2013, reflecting reductions in compensation-related expenses, partially offset by increases in rent and miscellaneous expenses. For the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, increases in selling, general and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were attributable to the August 2013 acquisition and primarily consisted of personnel and related costs and rent expense as well as approximately $0.2 million of certain direct costs associated with the integration of the FTS division.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.4 million, or 15.2%, to $25.8 million, compared to $22.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase consisted of $2.6 million related to the Engineering & Project Solutions segment and $1.5 million related to the Technical Services segment, partially offset by decreases of $0.7 million related to Corporate. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted costs by $0.2 million, of which $0.3 million was related to unfavorable impacts in EMEA, partially offset by favorable impacts in Asia-Pacific of $0.1 million. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, the increase in selling, general and administrative costs within Technical Services consisted of increases of $1.7 million in the Americas, partially offset by decreases of $0.2 million each in Asia-Pacific and EMEA, respectively. Of the increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the Americas, approximately 50% was related to personnel and related costs associated with the buildout of the Company’s strategic global organizational structure with the remainder of the increase primarily attributable to higher professional fees and insurance costs . Selling, general and administrative expenses related to Corporate were down by $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the same period in 2013, primarily reflecting reductions in compensation-related expenses. For the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, increases in selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were attributable to the August 2013 acquisition and primarily consisted of personnel and related costs and rent expense.
Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues decreased to 17.6% and 18.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to 20.6% and 21.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, principally as a result of the increased leverage on higher revenue levels, particularly those associated with the Engineering & Project Solutions segment as well as the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions within Technical Services.
27
Other Income
Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, interest income and other income (expense) changed unfavorably by $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2013 and was primarily related to fluctuations within foreign currency exchange gains and losses.
Interest Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, consolidated interest expense increased by $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively compared to the same periods in 2013 primarily due to higher average outstanding debt related to an additional borrowing on the revolving credit facility in August 2013.
Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, compared to $4.4 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the income tax expense reflects the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate considering the statutory rates in the countries in which the Company operates, adjusted for excludable items, and the effects of valuation allowance changes for certain foreign entities.
Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was 39.3% and 40.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to 39.4% and 39.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The difference in income tax rates between periods is primarily attributable to changes in the mix of income before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by a full valuation allowance and those that are not, and differing statutory tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s liquidity and capital resources requirements include the funding of working capital needs, the funding of capital investments and the financing of internal growth.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased to $8.8 million from $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from lower cash usage for working capital requirements, partially offset by a decrease in net income and non-cash items in the current-year period, when compared to the prior year. Changes in working capital, primarily associated with accounts receivable and accounts payable, decreased cash flows by approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $17.2 million for the same period in 2013.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and no other investing activity cash outflows in the current-year period, whereas the prior-year period included acquisition-related investing cash outflows of $0.9 million. Capital expenditures decreased to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Consolidated capital expenditures for the calendar year 2014 were initially budgeted at approximately $20.0 million; however, based on current projections, the Company does not expect capital expenditures to exceed $17.0 million. Such expenditures, however, will depend on many factors beyond the Company’s control, including, without limitation, demand for services as well as domestic and foreign government regulations. No assurance can be given that required capital expenditures will not exceed anticipated amounts during 2014 or thereafter. Capital expenditures during the year are expected to be funded from existing cash and anticipated cash flows from operations.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and primarily reflected principal payments on acquisition-related notes payable in both periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company made $0.9 million of principal payments compared with $2.2 million in the same period in 2013.
Although the worldwide economy, including markets in which the Company operates, has shown some signs of improvement, recovery and growth has been slow and continues to be impacted by uncertainty. As such, the Company believes that the risks to its business and its customers continue to remain heightened. Additionally, political unrest, changes in monetary policy, including the effects of higher interest rates, have the potential to curb economic growth and/or cause further instability, which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. Lower levels of liquidity and capital adequacy affecting lenders, increases in defaults and
28
bankruptcies by customers and suppliers, and volatility in credit and equity markets, as observed in recent years, could continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition in a number of ways, including reductions in revenues and profits, increased bad debts and financial instability of suppliers and insurers.
On March 5, 2012, certain foreign subsidiaries (the “foreign subsidiary designated borrowers”) of Furmanite Worldwide, Inc. (“FWI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and FWI entered into a credit agreement with a banking syndicate led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement matures on February 28, 2017. On August 27, 2013, FWI and the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment includes several modifications, including increasing the revolving credit facility from $75.0 million to $100.0 million and increasing the portion of the amount available for swing line loans to FWI from $7.5 million to $10.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The loans outstanding to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers under the Credit Agreement may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.
At both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $59.3 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates (based on the prime rate, federal funds rate or Eurocurrency rate, at the option of the borrower, including a margin above such rates, and subject to an adjustment based on a calculated Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (the “Leverage Ratio” as defined in the Credit Agreement)), which was 1.9% at June 30, 2014. On April 30, 2013, the Company entered into a forward-dated interest rate swap to mitigate the risk of changes in the variable interest rate. The effect of the swap is to fix the interest rate at 0.75% plus the margin and Leverage Ratio adjustment, as described above, beginning April 29, 2014 through February 28, 2017 on $39.3 million of the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement. See Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the interest rate swap. The Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.30% based on the Leverage Ratio (0.25% at June 30, 2014), and is based on the unused portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash expenses minus income tax credits and non-cash items increasing net income (loss) as defined in the Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets (which approximated $212.1 million as of June 30, 2014). The Parent Company has granted a security interest in its stock of FWI as collateral security for the lenders under the Credit Agreement, but is not a party to the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants, which require that the Company maintain: (i) a Leverage Ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing four-quarters basis, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00, defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures / interest plus cash taxes plus scheduled payments of debt plus Restricted Payments made (i.e. all dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock, sinking funds or similar deposits on account thereof or other returns of capital, redemption or repurchases of equity interests, and any payments to the Parent Company or its subsidiaries (other than FWI and its subsidiaries)), and (iii) a minimum asset coverage of at least 1.50 to 1.00, defined as cash plus net accounts receivable plus net inventory plus net property, plant and equipment of FWI and its material subsidiaries that are subject to a first priority perfected lien in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders / Funded Debt. FWI is also subject to certain other compliance provisions including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, guarantees, dividends and other contingent obligations and transactions. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants or breach of representations and warranties. At June 30, 2014, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Considering the outstanding borrowings of $59.3 million, and $2.0 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $38.7 million at June 30, 2014.
On August 30, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of the assets of ENGlobal’s Engineering & Construction segment, the Company issued a $3.0 million promissory note, which bears interest at 4.0% per annum and will be paid in four equal annual installments of $0.8 million beginning September 1, 2014, with the final payment due on September 1, 2017.
On February 28, 2013, in connection with an asset purchase, the Company issued a $0.9 million note payable, which was paid at maturity on March 1, 2014.
On January 1, 2013, in connection with an asset purchase, the Company issued a $1.9 million promissory note, which bears interest at 5.0% per annum and is due in four equal annual installments of $0.5 million beginning January 1, 2014, with the final installment payment due on January 1, 2017.
29
In 2012, the Company incurred $1.4 million of debt in connection with an asset purchase. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $0.2 million remained outstanding, which is payable in installments of approximately $0.1 million due in both 2014 and 2015.
On February 23, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Self Leveling Machines, Inc. and certain assets of Self Levelling Machines Pty. Ltd., the Company issued $5.1 million ($2.9 million denominated in U.S. dollars and $2.2 million denominated in Australian dollars) of notes payable (the “SLM Notes”), payable in installments through February 23, 2013. All obligations under the SLM Notes were secured by a first priority lien on the assets acquired in the acquisition. Upon full settlement of the SLM Notes in February 2013 and resultant release of the lien by the sellers’ equity holders, the acquired assets became assets secured under the Credit Agreement. The SLM Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 2.5% per annum.
The Company committed to cost reduction initiatives during 2010 and 2012 in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues. As of June 30, 2014, the costs incurred since the inception of these two cost reduction initiatives totaled approximately $7.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred a reduction in restructuring costs of $0.1 million, but made no significant payments related to the initiatives. As of June 30, 2014, the remaining reserve associated with these initiatives totaled $0.4 million, all of which are expected to require cash payments and are expected to be paid in 2014. Total workforce reductions for the 2010 and 2012 cost reduction initiatives included terminations of 138 employees in the Company’s EMEA region of its Technical Services segment.
The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends as it believes investing earnings back into the Company will provide a better long-term return to stockholders in increased per share value. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and available credit under the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to finance current operations, planned capital expenditure requirements and internal growth for the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant policies are presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. These policies require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates, for which no significant changes have occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2014, include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, income taxes, defined benefit pension plans, contingencies, and exit or disposal obligations. Critical accounting policies are discussed regularly, at least quarterly, with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recorded in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, when realized or realizable, and earned.
Revenues are recognized using the completed-contract method, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax. Substantially all projects are short term in nature; however, the Company occasionally enters into contracts that are longer in duration that represent multiple element arrangements, which include a combination of services and products. The Company separates deliverables into units of accounting based on whether the deliverables have standalone value to the customer. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price generally determined using vendor specific objective evidence. Revenues are recognized for the separate units of accounting when services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered and risk of ownership has passed to the customer. The Company provides limited warranties to customers, depending upon the service performed. Warranty claim costs were not material during either of the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
30
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Credit is extended to customers based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and generally collateral is not required. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company regularly evaluates and adjusts accounts receivable as doubtful based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis and information available on specific accounts. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. Any payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance in the period the payment is received.
Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Under FASB ASC 350, intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means are amortized over their useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
Goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually (in the fourth quarter of each calendar year), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or a loss of key personnel.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value in each of its two reporting units, therefore no impairment was indicated. Additionally, no changes in circumstances have occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2014 that would warrant an additional impairment test in the current period. At each of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, goodwill totaled $15.5 million. All goodwill is associated with the Technical Services operating segment.
Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company accounts for property, plant and equipment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Under FASB ASC 360, the Company reviews property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Factors that may affect recoverability include changes in planned use of equipment, closing of facilities and discontinuance of service lines. Property and equipment to be held and used is reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company’s impairment review is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flow at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. Impairment occurs when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset and the impairment is viewed as other than temporary. When impairment is indicated, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair market value. Depending on the asset, fair market value may be determined either by use of a discounted cash flow model or by reference to estimated selling values of assets in similar condition. No impairment of property, plant and equipment occurred during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
Stock-Based Compensation
All stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the consolidated financial statements and such costs are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as other assumptions. Assumptions utilized in the fair value calculations include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards (estimated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price), the risk free interest rate (based on the U.S. Treasury Note rate over the expected term of the option), the dividend yield (assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid, nor anticipates paying in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends), and employee stock option exercise behavior and forfeiture assumptions (based on historical experience and other relevant factors). For performance-based awards, the Company must also make assumptions regarding the likelihood of achieving performance targets.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the U.S. GAAP and tax treatment of certain income and expense items. The Company must assess and make estimates regarding the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered. To the extent that it is determined the deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is established for such assets. In making such a determination, the Company must take into account positive and negative evidence including projections of future taxable income and assessments of potential tax planning strategies.
31
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. Uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions would not impact the effective foreign tax rate because unrecognized non-current tax benefits are offset by the foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which are fully reserved. The Company recognizes interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized non-current tax benefits as part of the income tax provision.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. These rates are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined based on reference to yields. The compensation increase rate is based on historical experience. The expected return on plan assets is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review of asset allocation strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality and retirement rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation in future periods. While the Company believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the pension obligation and future expense.
Contingencies
Environmental
Liabilities are recorded when site restoration or environmental remediation and cleanup obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries of environmental costs through insurance, indemnification arrangements or other sources are recognized when such recoveries become certain.
The Company capitalizes environmental costs only if the costs are recoverable and the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property owned by the Company as compared with the condition of that property when originally constructed or acquired, or if the costs mitigate or prevent environmental contamination that has yet to occur and that otherwise may result from future operations or activities and the costs improve the property compared with its condition when constructed or acquired. All other environmental costs are expensed.
Other
The Company establishes a liability for all other loss contingencies when information indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Exit or Disposal Obligations
In 2010 and 2012, the Company committed to cost reduction initiatives, including planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to more strategically align its operating, selling, general and administrative costs to its revenues. The Company has recorded expenses related to these cost reduction initiatives for severance, lease cancellations, and other restructuring costs in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and FASB ASC 712-10, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.
Under FASB ASC 420-10, costs associated with restructuring activities are generally recognized when they are incurred. In the case of leases, the expense is estimated and accrued when the property is vacated. In addition, post-employment benefits accrued for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities are accounted for under FASB ASC 712-10. A liability for post-employment benefits is generally recorded when payment is probable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and the obligation relates to rights that have vested or accumulated. The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under its restructuring initiatives. Although the Company believes that these estimates accurately reflect the costs of its restructuring plans, actual results may differ, thereby requiring the Company to record additional provisions or reverse a portion of such provisions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides for a single five-step model to be applied in determining the amount and timing of the recognition of revenue related to contracts with customers. The new guidance also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the guidance. There is no option for early adoption. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
Inflation and Changing Prices
The Company does not operate or conduct business in hyper-inflationary countries nor enter into long-term supply contracts that may impact margins due to inflation. Changes in prices of goods and services are reflected on proposals, bids or quotes submitted to customers.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company’s principal market risk exposures (i.e., the risk of loss arising from the adverse changes in market rates and prices) are to changes in interest rates on the Company’s debt and investment portfolios and fluctuations in foreign currency.
The Company centrally manages its debt, considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing strategies. Based on the amount of variable rate debt, $59.3 million at June 30, 2014, an increase in interest rates by one hundred basis points would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.6 million. On April 30, 2013, the Company entered into a forward-dated interest rate swap to mitigate the risk of change in the variable interest rate on $39.3 million of the outstanding debt beginning April 29, 2014 through February 28, 2017. For more information on this swap, see Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
A significant portion of the Company’s business is exposed to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies as a result of the foreign operations of the Company in Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Foreign currency exchange rate changes, primarily the British Pound, relative to the U.S. dollar resulted in a favorable impact on the Company’s U.S. dollar reported revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The revenue impact was somewhat mitigated by similar exchange effects on operating costs, thereby reducing the exchange rate effect on operating income. The Company does not currently use foreign currency rate hedges.
Based on the six months ended June 30, 2014, foreign currency-based revenues and operating income of $80.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively, a ten percent depreciation in all applicable foreign currencies would result in a decrease in revenues of $7.3 million and a reduction in operating income of $0.9 million.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated, as required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2014. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART II — Other Information
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Furmanite America, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, is involved in disputes with a customer, INEOS USA LLC, which claims that the subsidiary failed to provide it with satisfactory services at the customer’s facilities. On April 17, 2009, the customer initiated legal action against the subsidiary in the Common Pleas Court of Allen County, Ohio (the “Court”), alleging that the subsidiary and one of its former employees, who performed data services at one of the customer’s facilities, breached its contract with the customer and failed to provide the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facility. In March 2014, the customer’s claims against the former employee were dismissed and the Court granted a partial summary judgment in favor of Furmanite America, Inc. The customer’s complaint seeks damages in an amount that the subsidiary believes represents the total proposed civil penalty, plus the cost of unspecified supplemental environmental projects requested by the regulatory agency to reduce air emissions at the customer’s facility, and also seeks unspecified punitive damages. The subsidiary believes that it provided the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facilities and will vigorously defend against the remainder of the customer’s claim.
The Company has other contingent liabilities resulting from litigation, claims and commitments incident to the ordinary course of business.
While the Company cannot make an assessment of the eventual outcome of all matters or determine the extent, if any, of any potential uninsured liability or damage, accruals of $1.9 million, which include the Furmanite America, Inc. litigation, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. While there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts would be material to its financial statements.
Management believes, after consulting with counsel, that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no material changes to the risk factors reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 5. | Other Information |
(a) As previously disclosed, Charles R. Cox has notified the Company of his intent to retire as Chief Executive Officer effective December 31, 2014. On July 30, 2014, the Company and Mr. Cox entered into an agreement associated with his planned retirement (the “Agreement”). In exchange for his satisfaction of the obligations set forth in the Agreement, upon separation of his employment:
• | Mr. Cox will receive cash payments totaling $820,000, to be paid by the Company pursuant to the payment schedule set forth in the Agreement. However, in the event Mr. Cox becomes entitled to payments under a separate change in control agreement with the Company, Mr. Cox will not be entitled to receive these cash payments; |
• | Mr. Cox will become fully vested in all of his currently outstanding unvested stock options and outstanding unvested restricted stock units. Additionally, Mr. Cox will generally have one year from his separation date to exercise all outstanding stock options; and |
• | Mr. Cox will be eligible to receive compensation under the Company’s 2014 incentive compensation program, but such compensation remains contingent upon the outcome of the previously established performance conditions related to the Company’s 2014 financial performance. Such compensation will be prorated in the event Mr. Cox separates from the Company prior to December 31, 2014 in accordance with the Agreement. |
35
The Agreement includes an employment commitment and also addresses certain releases, waivers, non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions agreed to by the Company and Mr. Cox. The Agreement is subject to a seven-day revocation period by Mr. Cox, which ends August 6, 2014.
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated by reference herein.
