Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Exhibit 99.1.
Business Overview
Furmanite Corporation (the “Parent Company”), incorporated in 1953, together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Furmanite”) conducts its principal business through its subsidiaries under two operating segments: 1) Technical Services and 2) Engineering & Project Solutions. The Parent Company’s common stock, no par value, trades under the ticker symbol “FRM” on the NYSE.
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 SmartShimTM 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 through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, Furmanite Worldwide, Inc. (“FWI”), and its domestic and international subsidiaries and affiliates.
Engineering & Project Solutions, which was established following an acquisition in 2013, provides process management inspection services to contractors and operators participating primarily in the midstream oil and gas market, substantially all of which are in the Americas. A wide range of inspection services are offered, including, mechanical integrity, quality assurance and regulatory compliance services for pipelines and other capital, turnaround, maintenance and mechanical integrity projects. The Engineering & Project Solutions operating segment previously included the Company’s Furmanite Technical Solutions division (“FTS”), which has been retrospectively reclassified to discontinued operations.
Financial Overview
For the year ended December 31, 2014, consolidated revenues were $413.4 million, an increase of $23.2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, due to a combination of increases from the Company’s Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which was formed in 2013, as well as increases in off-line services in both the Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions of the Technical Services segment, including higher bolting, on-site machining and valve repair service revenues. In the Americas, increases in on-line services, related to higher non-destructive testing and inspection service revenues, were more than offset by lower revenues from off-line services, due in part to customer delays and postponements, some of which related to the impacts of severe winter weather in early 2014. The operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 were unfavorably impacted by higher selling, general and administrative costs, reflecting the effects of additional personnel and related costs associated with the buildout of the Company’s strategic global organizational structure. The net effect of these factors resulted in operating income of $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The Company’s income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $11.9 million, 15.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Company’s diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.31, $0.41, and $0.02 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax was $(0.5) million, $(1.4) million and nil for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s diluted loss per share from discontinued operations was $(0.01), $(0.04), and nil for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Net income was $11.4 million, $14.0 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s diluted earnings per share were $0.30, $0.37 and $0.02 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Geographical areas, based on physical location, are the Americas (including corporate), EMEA and Asia-Pacific. The following discussion and analysis, as it relates to segment and geographic information, excludes discontinued operations, intercompany transactions and any allocation of headquarter costs.
Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2014, consolidated revenues increased by $23.2 million, or 5.9%, to $413.4 million, compared to $390.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in revenues resulted from a combination of higher revenues in both Technical Services and the Engineering & Project Solutions segments, which increased $7.5 million and $15.7 million, respectively, compared with the year ended December 31, 2013. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenues by $0.4 million, of which $2.7 million were related to favorable impacts in EMEA, largely offset by $1.9 million and $0.4 million of unfavorable impacts in Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues for Technical Services increased by $7.1 million, or 1.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. This increase in revenues consisted of increases of $13.3 million and $1.1 million in Asia-Pacific and EMEA, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $7.3 million in the Americas. The higher revenues in Asia-Pacific were primarily attributable to volume increases within off-line services, which increased 81% compared to the same period in 2013 and were primarily related to certain large projects that were completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The increases in off-line services included increases in bolting service revenues, which increased in volume by approximately 70% with the balance primarily related to higher on-site machining and valve repair service revenues. These increases in off-line services in Asia-Pacific were partially offset by lower revenues in on-line services, which primarily consisted of volume decreases in hot tapping and leak sealing service revenues. The increase in Technical Services revenues in EMEA was a result of volume increases in both off-line and other services, which increased approximately 4% and 13%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by volume decreases in on-line services. The increase in off-line services was primarily related to a volume increase in on-site machining service revenues while increases in other services primarily related to volume increases in SmartShimTM service revenues. The decrease within on-line services in EMEA was attributable to volume decreases in leak sealing and line stopping services, partially offset by higher TrevitestTM service revenues. In the Americas, the decrease in Technical Services revenues was primarily attributable to decrease within off-line services, which were partially offset by increases in on-line services. The decreases were due in part to customer delays and postponements during the year, some of which were directly attributable to the impacts of severe winter weather in early 2014. Revenues were also unfavorably impacted by the unanticipated effects of a change in the compensation structure of sales personnel. In addition, several large projects were completed in 2013, which did not recur during 2014. Within off-line services, the decreases in revenues were primarily attributable to volume decreases in bolting, heat treatment and on-site machining service revenues. The decreases in off-line services were partially offset by increases in revenues from on-line services, which primarily related to volume increases in non-destructive testing and inspection services, but were partially offset by volume decreases in leak sealing service revenues.
Revenues from the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, substantially all of which relate to the Americas, were $37.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Essentially all of the increase in revenues is attributable to volume increases in process management inspection service work.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, consolidated revenues increased by $63.7 million, or 19.5%, to $390.2 million, compared to $326.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in revenues was due to a combination of the 2013 addition of the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which contributed $21.6 million to consolidated revenues in 2013, as well as higher Technical Services revenue, which increased $42.1 million compared with the same period for 2012. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted revenues by $2.5 million, of which $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $1.9 million were related to unfavorable impacts from the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues for Technical Services increased by $44.6 million, or 13.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. This increase in revenues consisted of a $50.4 million increase in the Americas but was partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in EMEA and a $2.1 million decrease in Asia-Pacific. The increase in Technical Services revenues in the Americas, resulting from a combination of acquisition-related growth and organic growth attributable to organizational structure improvements, was primarily related to increases in its off-line and on-line services which increased approximately 22% and 6%, respectively, when compared to revenues related to such services in the same period of 2012. Of the increase in off-line services, approximately 70% related to volume increases in on-site machining, valve repair, heat treatment, and bolting services with the remainder of the increase primarily attributable to volume increases in nondestructive testing and inspection services. Increases in on-line services were primarily related to volume increases in leak sealing and hot tapping services. The decrease in revenues in EMEA, which was predominantly attributable to the Company’s central European locations, was primarily related to volume decreases in valve repair and other product and manufacturing services. These decreases were partially offset by moderate volume increases in line stopping services within on-line services as well as heat treatment services within off-line services. The decrease in revenues in Asia-Pacific was primarily related to volume decreases in composite repair and leak sealing services within on-line services and bolting services within off-line services, as a large project
7
was completed by the Company in such region in 2012 with no such similar large project in 2013. These decreases were partially offset by increases in on-site machining services within off-line services.
Engineering & Project Solutions revenues increased consolidated revenues by $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, and consisted of process management inspection services which were attributable to an asset purchase in early 2013.
Operating Costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
For the year ended December 31, 2014, operating costs increased $21.3 million, or 7.9%, to $292.1 million, compared to $270.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in operating costs was attributable to higher operating costs from the Engineering & Project Solutions segment of $15.0 million as well as higher Technical Services operating costs of $6.3 million compared with the same period for 2013. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates were not significant for the year as unfavorable changes in EMEA of $1.7 million were offset by $1.4 million and $0.3 million of favorable impacts from Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs for Technical Services increased $6.4 million, or 2.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. This change consisted of increases of $10.0 million and $0.8 million in Asia-Pacific and EMEA, respectively, but was partially offset by a decrease of $4.4 million the Americas. Of the increase in operating costs in Asia-Pacific approximately 86% related to higher labor and material costs,with the remainder primarily attributable to higher travel and equipment leasing costs, consistent with the higher revenues. The increase in operating costs in EMEA was primarily related to higher material and equipment rental costs partially offset by lower labor costs, associated with the increase in revenues and a change in mix of services. The decrease in operating costs in the Americas was primarily related to lower labor costs, associated with the lower revenues. The operating cost increase for Engineering & Project Solutions consisted primarily of higher labor and related expenses as a result of the increased revenues.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, operating costs increased $37.5 million, or 16.1%, to $270.8 million, compared to $233.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in operating costs was due to a combination of the 2013 addition of the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which had operating costs of $20.1 million in 2013, as well as higher Technical Services operating costs, which increased $17.4 million compared with the same period for 2012. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $1.6 million, of which $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $1.4 million were related to favorable impacts from the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs for Technical Services increased $19.0 million, or 8.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. This change consisted of a $29.2 million increase in the Americas but was partially offset by decreases of $8.9 million and $1.3 million in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. The increase in operating costs in the Americas was primarily related to higher labor costs of approximately 17% as well as higher travel and leasing costs of approximately 6% when compared to the same period in 2012, which were attributable to the increase in revenues. The decrease in operating costs in EMEA was primarily associated with reductions in material and leasing costs of approximately 9% when compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of a decrease in activity levels and the effect of the 2012 cost reduction initiative. Additionally, operating costs in EMEA decreased in 2013 due to the effect of $2.3 million of severance related restructuring costs that were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating costs in Asia-Pacific decreased due to decreases in labor, travel, and material costs of approximately 5% when compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of decreased activity levels. Operating costs for Engineering & Project Solutions, which increased costs by $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, consisted primarily of labor and related expenses, as the Company initiated the services provided by this segment in 2013 as a result of an asset purchase.
Overall operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 70.7% and 69.4% for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, based on the higher percentage of Engineering and Project Solutions revenues to total revenues in 2014 compared to 2013. For the Technical Services segment, operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 68.3% and 68.0% for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The percentage of operating costs to revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 was slightly higher for this segment compared to the same period in 2013 due to a change in the blend of revenues among service lines. While higher revenues in Asia-Pacific and EMEA partially mitigated the effect of lower revenues in the Americas, certain projects generated lower margins during the current-year period. For the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, operating costs as a percentage of revenues increased to 94.1% from 93.1% for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The percentage of operating costs to revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 was higher for this segment compared to the prior year, reflecting higher labor costs as a percentage of revenues, attributable to changes in the mix of customers. In comparison to the Company’s Technical Services segment, the Engineering & Project Solutions segment results in higher operating costs as a percentage of revenues due to the types of services provided in each segment and the typical gross margins associated with those services.
Overall operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 69.4% and 71.5% (70.7% excluding 2012 restructuring costs of $2.3 million) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the Technical Services segment, operating costs as a
8
percentage of revenue decreased to 68.0% from 71.5% (70.7% excluding the restructuring costs) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The percentage of operating costs to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was lower for this segment compared to the same period in 2012 due to the increase in revenues, which included improved utilization of labor and resulted in better absorption of fixed costs in the Americas, as well as a favorable mix of services, including several higher margin projects, and better utilization of labor in EMEA as a result of the 2012 cost reduction initiative. For the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, operating costs as a percentage of revenues were 93.1% for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2014, depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.4 million, or 3.5%, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates had an insignificant impact on depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2014. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to an increase in the average balance of depreciable property and equipment associated with capital expenditures of approximately $16.1 million placed in service over the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.0 million, or 22.8%, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, as a result of an increase in the average balance of depreciable property and equipment associated with the $4.6 million of acquisition-related long-term and intangible assets combined with capital expenditures of approximately $9.7 million placed in service over the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates had an insignificant impact on depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2013. Depreciation and amortization expense related to 2013 acquisition-related assets was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenue was 2.7%, 2.8% and 2.7% for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.0 million, or 8.6%, to $88.4 million compared to $81.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase consisted of $3.4 million related to the Technical Services segment, $0.5 million related to the Engineering & Project Solutions segment and $3.1 million related to corporate-related (“Corporate”) expenses, which are not allocated to the segments. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates were insignificant for the year ended December 31, 2014 as unfavorable impacts from EMEA were offset by favorable impacts in Asia-Pacific. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impacts, the increases in selling, general and administrative costs within Technical Services consisted of increases of $3.2 million and $0.7 million in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively, partially offset by decreases of $0.5 million in EMEA. Of the increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the Americas, approximately 85% was related to personnel and related costs, when compared to the same period in 2013, and was associated with the buildout of the Company’s strategic global organizational structure with the remainder of the increase primarily attributable to higher insurance costs. In Asia-Pacific, increases in selling, general and administrative costs were primarily related to increases in salary and related costs of approximately 10% when compared to the same period in 2013, and were primarily a result of higher activity levels within the region. In EMEA, decreases in selling, general and administrative costs were primarily associated with lower travel-related costs and lower professional fees. For the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, while selling, general and administrative costs increased compared to the prior year, they were consistent as a percentage of revenues due to the increased activity in the segment. Selling, general and administrative expense related to Corporate increased by $3.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared with the same period in 2013, of which approximately $1.7 million was attributable to the incremental compensation expense pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive, with the balance related to general cost increases including technology and facility-related costs.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.6 million, or 6.0%, to $81.4 million compared to $76.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase consisted of $4.6 million related to the Technical Services segment and $0.6 million related to the 2013 addition of the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, partially offset by decreases of $0.6 million related to Corporate expenses, which are not allocated to the segments. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates during 2013 favorably impacted costs by $0.3 million, essentially all of which related to favorable impacts from Asia-Pacific. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impacts, the $4.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs for Technical Services consisted of $8.9 million increases in the Americas, partially offset by decreases of $3.1 million and $0.9 million in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expense increases in the Americas were related to an increase in personnel and related costs of approximately 12% and increases in travel, rent and insurance related costs of approximately 6%, when compared to the same period in 2012, associated primarily with increased activity levels as well as impacts from the implementation of the Company’s strategic global organizational
9
structure. In EMEA, decreases in selling, general and administrative costs were primarily related to reductions in salary and related costs of approximately 3% when compared to the same period in 2012, and were primarily associated with the cost reduction initiative in 2012. In addition, the year ended December 31, 2012 included $1.3 million of severance related restructuring costs, for which no similar costs were incurred in the same period in 2013. In Asia-Pacific, decreases in selling, general and administrative costs were primarily a result of the decreased activity levels within the region. For the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, selling, general and administrative costs, which increased costs by $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, consisted primarily of personnel and related costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses related to Corporate were down slightly compared with 2012 as increases in personnel and related costs, associated primarily with the implementation of the Company’s strategic global organizational structure, were more than offset by the effect of $1.6 million of direct corporate relocation costs incurred in connection with the relocation of the corporate headquarters to Houston, Texas during the year ended December 31, 2012 for which no similar costs were incurred during 2013.
Selling, general and administrative costs, as a percentage of revenue were 21.4%, 20.9% and 23.5% for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The percentage of selling, general and administrative costs to revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 principally as a result of higher Corporate costs, including the additional non-routine incremental compensation expense incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014, as discussed above. The percentage of selling, general and administrative costs to revenues decreased for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, principally as a result of the increased leverage on higher revenue levels and the effects of the 2012 cost reduction initiative.
Other Income
Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net
For the year ended December 31, 2014, consolidated interest income and other income (expense) changed favorably by $0.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. Consolidated interest income and other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2013, changed unfavorably by $0.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.
Changes within interest income and other income (expense) primarily relate to fluctuations within foreign currency exchange transaction gains and losses.
Interest Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2014, consolidated interest expense increased by $0.5 million when compared to the same period for 2013. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was due to higher average outstanding debt associated with the acquisition-related borrowings combined with the effect of realized losses incurred on the Company’s interest rate swap.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, consolidated interest expense increased by $0.2 million when compared to the same period for 2012. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was due to a combination of a slightly higher average interest rate on notes payable and higher average outstanding debt on the additional borrowing on the revolving credit facility in 2013, but was partially offset by the acceleration of $0.2 million of debt issuance costs in 2012 due to the termination of a previous credit agreement.
Interest rates on the outstanding debt for the credit facility were consistent for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
Income Taxes
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.8 million, $9.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in continuing operations. Income tax expense as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes was approximately 39.6%, 38.7%, and 87.0% for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 respectively.
Fiscal year 2014 and 2013 income tax expense as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes, while slightly higher than the Company’s long-term expected effective rate, reflects the blended statutory rates in countries in which the Company operates and the mix of pre-tax income and losses in the countries in which the Company pays taxes versus those countries which have a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets.
Fiscal year 2012 income tax expense as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes was abnormally inflated as a result of a significantly high percentage of pre-tax losses in countries with valuation allowances, compounded by the impact of the restructuring initiative, as compared to net pre-tax income in other countries. As a result, income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was approximately 87.0% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The 2012 effective
10
income tax rate for countries without valuation allowances on their deferred tax assets was approximately 39.0%. This effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate as domestic state taxes and non-deductible expenses are only partially offset by lower statutory rates in other counties in which the Company operates and incurs income tax liability.
Differences in income tax rates from the statutory rate between periods are also attributable to changes in the mix of income before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by full valuation allowance and those that are not, and differing statutory tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities.
The Company estimates its effective income tax rate to reflect a normal blended tax rate in the mid 30% range beginning in 2015, considering expected pre-tax income levels and the statutory income tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities.
Discontinued Operations
The loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, was $(0.5) million and $(1.4) million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decreased loss from discontinued operations primarily reflects improvements in the operating results of FTS compared to 2013, including the benefit of lower management transition and integration-related expenses. The income tax benefit attributable to discontinued operations was $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in income tax benefit is primarily due to the lower pre-tax loss from discontinued operations. As FTS was acquired in August 2013, there is no activity reported in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s liquidity and capital resources requirements include the funding of working capital needs and capital investments, as well as the financing of internal growth.
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $23.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from a decrease in income from continuing operations and non-cash items as well as changes in working capital requirements, primarily within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Changes in working capital decreased cash flow by approximately $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with a decrease of $9.1 million for the same period in 2013. The increased working capital requirements in 2014 are due to increased activity levels, primarily related to growth in both the Technical Services (primarily in Asia-Pacific) and Engineering & Project Solutions segments. For discontinued operations, net cash provided by operating activities was $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The variation is due to the combination of a decrease in the loss from discontinued operations, an increase in non-cash items and changes in working capital requirements attributable to FTS, primarily associated with accounts receivable.
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $23.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from an increase in income from continuing operations and non-cash items, primarily deferred income taxes and depreciation and amortization, partially offset by changes in working capital requirements, primarily within accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accounts receivable. Changes in working capital decreased cash flow by approximately $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared with a decrease of $0.7 million for the same period in 2012. The increased working capital requirements in 2013 were due to increased activity levels, particularly related to growth and expansion in the Technical Services segment (primarily in the Americas) and the addition of the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which was new in 2013. For discontinued operations, net cash used in operating activities of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily reflects the loss from discontinued operations and working capital requirements associated with the FTS division, which was acquired in August 2013.
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations decreased to $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for capital expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2014 capital expenditures decreased to $7.9 million from $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 due to a variety of factors, including the timing of expenditure payments. Capital expenditures in 2014 were lower than the Company’s expectations for the year and expects increased capital investments for 2015. For discontinued operations, net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations primarily reflects cash paid of $15.8 million for the acquisition of FTS in 2013 and, to a lesser extent, reduced capital expenditures attributable to FTS in 2014 compared to 2013.
11
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations decreased to $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for acquisitions. In 2012, the Company paid cash of $12.5 million related to acquisitions, including $9.3 million of cash paid in connection with acquisition of the Houston Service Center of MCC Holdings, Inc. (“HSC”). The decrease in cash paid for acquisitions was partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures, which were $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in capital expenditures in 2013 compared to 2012 was consistent with the Company’s expectations for increased capital investments for 2013. Net cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations was $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, reflecting $15.8 million in cash paid to acquire FTS in August 2013 and capital expenditures of $1.0 million attributable to FTS.
Consolidated capital expenditures for the calendar year 2015 have been budgeted at approximately $20.0 million. The expected increase in capital expenditures over 2014 capital expenditures is based on the Company’s estimated requirements for maintenance capital as well as in support of its growth investment strategy. 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 or be less than anticipated amounts during 2015 or thereafter. Capital expenditures during 2015 are expected to be funded from existing cash and anticipated cash flows from operations.
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The year-over-year variation is primarily attributable to the effect of the $20.0 million of borrowings on the Company’s existing revolving credit facility during 2013, for which no such borrowings occurred during 2014. The $20.0 million in borrowings was related to the acquisition of FTS and was used principally to fund the purchase of the acquired working capital, with the remaining funds available to cover any transitional initial cash flow needs. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company made $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of principal payments on acquisition-related notes payable, based on the payment terms of the notes. In addition, financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 included excess tax benefits of $1.0 million related to stock-based compensation.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase in net proceeds from the issuance and repayment of debt in 2013. In connection with the acquisition of FTS, the Company borrowed $20.0 million on its revolving credit facility in 2013, as discussed above. Also during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company made $2.3 million of principal payments on acquisition-related notes payable. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a new credit facility and received borrowings of $30.0 million from the new credit facility in order to pay its remaining outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million upon the termination of the previous credit facility. Additionally, the Company paid $0.6 million of costs in connection with the refinancing of its credit facility. Further, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $9.3 million on its new credit facility to fund the HSC acquisition and made $4.2 million of principal payments on other acquisition-related notes payable.
The worldwide economy, including markets in which the Company operates, continues to be impacted by uncertainty and relatively slow growth. 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. In 2014, oil prices decreased nearly 50 percent and have since remained depressed relative to recent historical levels. The resulting impact of the oil price decline on Furmanite’s customers in the energy sector combined with the potential development of weaknesses in other sectors served by Furmanite could adversely affect the demand for Furmanite’s services. Lower levels of liquidity and capital adequacy affecting lenders, increases in defaults and 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.
Cash held in the bank accounts of foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 was $19.8 million. The Company intends to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided thereon. If the Company were to repatriate the cash held by its foreign subsidiaries, the Company would be required to accrue and pay income taxes in the United States. Other types of events that could trigger U.S. taxes on these undistributed earnings include certain foreign corporate restructuring or reorganizations, a decision to exit a particular business or jurisdiction leading to a sale of stock to a third party, and anticipated unfavorable tax law changes that would result in higher taxes on repatriations that occur after such change in law goes into effect.

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.
The proceeds from the initial borrowing on the Credit Agreement were $30.0 million and were used to repay the amounts outstanding under a previous credit agreement, which was scheduled to mature in January 2013, at which time the previous credit agreement was terminated by the Company. Letters of credit issued under the previous credit agreement were replaced with similar letters of credit under the new Credit Agreement. There were no material circumstances surrounding the termination of the previous credit agreement and no material early termination penalties were incurred by the Company.
On June 29, 2012, FWI borrowed an additional $9.3 million under its Credit Agreement to fund the purchase of HSC. On August 30, 2013, FWI borrowed an additional $20.0 million under its Credit Agreement principally to fund the purchase of the acquired working capital associated with the acquisition of the assets of ENGlobal’s Engineering & Construction segment, with the remaining funds to be available to cover any transitional short-term cash flow needs. As of both December 31, 2014 and 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 December 31, 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 13 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 December 31, 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 approximates $202.0 million as of December 31, 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 Parent 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 and breach of representations and warranties. At December 31, 2014, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Considering the outstanding borrowings of $59.3 million, and $2.7 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $38.0 million at December 31, 2014.
On August 30, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of the 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 is due in four equal annual installments of approximately $0.8 million beginning September 1, 2014, with the final payment due on September 1, 2017.
The Company committed to cost reduction initiatives in 2010 and 2012 in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues. As of December 31, 2014, the costs incurred since the inception of
13
these cost reduction initiatives totaled approximately $7.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a reduction of $0.1 million to restructuring costs incurred and made cash payments of $0.1 million related to these initiatives. As of December 31, 2014, the remaining reserve associated with these initiatives totaled $0.3 million, all of which are expected to require cash payments and are expected to be paid within the next twelve months. Total workforce reductions in which severance costs were incurred related to the 2010 and 2012 cost reduction initiatives included terminations for 138 employees, all of which were in the EMEA region of the Company’s 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.
Contractual Obligations
The following table presents (in thousands) the long-term contractual obligations of the Company as of December 31, 2014 in total and by period due beginning in 2015. Certain operating leases contain renewal options by the Company that are not reflected in the table below. The Company anticipates that these renewal options will likely be exercised.

Interest on debt is calculated based on outstanding balances, using the weighted average interest rate for 2014 for variable rate debt and at specific interest rates on fixed rate debt. Estimated annual defined benefit pension plan contributions are based on current funding levels of $1.9 million plus expected annual increases in accordance with certain funding commitments. See Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional information on defined benefit pension plans.
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 Note 1 under Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Exhibit 99.1.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2014, include revenue recognition, allowance for
14
doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes and defined benefit pension plans. Critical accounting policies are discussed by management at least quarterly with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when realized or realizable, and earned.
Revenues are recognized 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 and are generally billed on a time and materials basis when the work is completed. Revenue is typically recognized when services are rendered or when product is shipped to the job site and risk of ownership passes to the customer. Infrequently, the Company enters into contracts that are longer in duration that represent multiple element arrangements, which include a combination of services and products. For these contracts, revenues are allocated to the separate deliverables on the basis of stand-alone selling prices and recognized when the services have been rendered or the products delivered to the customer. The Company provides limited warranties to customers, depending upon the service performed. Warranty claim costs were not material during any of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Credit is extended to customers based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and generally collateral is not required. 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.
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.
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.
Goodwill of continuing operations totaled $15.6 million and $15.5 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, all of which was associated with the Technical Services operating segment.
FASB ASC 350 requires a two-step process for testing goodwill impairment, however it permits an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is determined that, based on a qualitative assessment, it is not more likely than not that the Company’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the first and second steps of the goodwill impairment test are unnecessary. The Company has elected to bypass the qualitative assessment for all reporting units at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the first step of the two-step process, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). Two or more components of an operating segment shall be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has two reporting units for the purpose of testing goodwill impairment as the business segments are determined to be the reporting units. Second, if an impairment is indicated, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets is measured as the excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value.
The Company uses a multiple of revenues as the basis for its measurement of fair value as management considers this approach the most meaningful measure for its reporting units, given the nature of the Company’s business. To support the reasonableness of the calculated fair value, the Company compares the sum of the calculated fair values to the market capitalization of the Company
15
as a whole, as the quoted market price provides the best evidence of fair value on a Company-wide basis. On December 31, 2014, the Company’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value in both of its reporting units.
At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, $2.6 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily trade names) were included in intangible and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Gross finite-lived intangible assets of $11.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively, were also included in intangible and other assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, with accumulated amortization of $6.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The change in gross finite-lived intangible assets during 2014 was associated with changes in foreign exchange rates on certain intangible assets within the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions of the Technical Services segment. Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets totaled $2.3 million, $2.6 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360. In connection with a review in 2012, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million in selling, general and administrative expense related to certain finite-lived intangible assets which were determined to have no value following the termination of a contract. There were no such impairments in 2014 or 2013.
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. As part of its assessment in 2014, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that it will be unable to realize the net deferred tax assets of its Malaysian operations, totaling approximately $0.4 million, and therefore established a full valuation allowance on such net deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s valuation allowance was $10.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013 relate to U.S. federal and state, and foreign tax items.
The Company and its subsidiaries file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States as well as various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2011 and subsequent years remain subject to examination. All material foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2009.
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. In 2014, the discount rate assumption used to determine end of year benefit obligations was 3.7%. These rates are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. Based on this information, the discount rate for 2015 is 3.7%. These rates are determined based on reference to yields. The expected return on plan assets of 5.0% for 2015 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 management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the pension obligation and future expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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 required additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, and timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts.
16
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 periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidations Analysis, which changes the guidance with respect to the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. Companies have an option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption approach. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulations S-K, at December 31, 2014 or 2013, or for any of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.
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.

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Furmanite Corporation (the “Parent Company”) together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Furmanite”) conducts business under two operating segments: 1) Technical Services and 2) Engineering & Project Solutions. Technical Services provides specialized technical services, including on-line, off-line and other 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 SmartShimTM services, concrete repair, engineering services, valves and other products and manufacturing. These services and products are provided primarily to electric power generating plants, petroleum industry, which includes refineries and offshore drilling rigs (includes 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 through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, Furmanite Worldwide, Inc. (“FWI”), and its domestic and international subsidiaries and affiliates. The Engineering & Project Solutions operating segment provides process management inspection services to contractors and operators participating primarily in the midstream oil and gas market, substantially all of which are in the Americas. A wide range of inspection services are offered, including, mechanical integrity, quality assurance and regulatory compliance services for pipelines and other capital, turnaround, maintenance and mechanical integrity projects. Furmanite currently operates over 30 offices in the United States (“U.S.”) including Saraland, Alabama; Benicia, California; Fairfield, California; Torrance, California; Lombard, Illinois; Hobart, Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Geismar, Louisiana; Gonzales, Louisiana; Sulphur, Louisiana; Paulsboro, New Jersey; Charlotte, North Carolina; Muskogee, Oklahoma; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Rock Hill, South Carolina; Beaumont, Texas; Corpus Christi, Texas; Houston, Texas; La Porte, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; Norfolk, Virginia; Kent, Washington; Huntington, West Virginia; and Parkersburg, West Virginia. The worldwide operations are further supported by offices currently located on six continents in Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and by licensee and agency arrangements which are based in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Ecuador, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Trinidad, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
The Company’s common stock, no par value, trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “FRM”.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The following significant accounting policies are followed by the Company and its subsidiaries in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Retrospective Reclassification of the Furmanite Technical Solutions Division to Discontinued Operations
In September 2015, a subsidiary of the Company sold the Furmanite Technical Solutions (“FTS”) division of the Company’s Engineering & Project Solutions operating segment. The consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2015, reflected FTS in continuing operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). As a result of the sale of FTS, beginning with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, filed with the SEC on November 6, 2015, the operating results, assets, liabilities and cash flows of FTS have been presented as discontinued operations, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company is filing these consolidated financial statements to apply this change in presentation retrospectively to the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, that were included in the Annual Report.
Except for the retrospective reclassification described above, these consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, do not include any updates or revisions to reflect any events or occurrences after the date of the filing of the Annual Report. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report and the Company’s other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015.
Refer to Note 2 for additional information on discontinued operations.

FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash is generally invested in high credit quality and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, uninvested cash in excess of requirements for operating purposes is kept at minimum levels. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, and are primarily invested in conservative, highly-rated instruments issued by financial institutions or government entities with strong credit ratings. At certain times, such amounts exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company had short-term investments with two financial institutions at December 31, 2014 that were not insured by the FDIC in the amount of $8.2 million. The Company has not experienced any losses on these investments. Cash in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $19.8 million and $17.2 million, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
The majority of accounts receivable are due from companies with petroleum refineries, chemical plants, offshore energy production platforms, steel mills, nuclear and conventional power stations, pulp and paper mills, food and beverage processing plants and other flow-processing facilities. Credit is extended 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 for doubtful accounts receivable 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.
Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, are as follows (in thousands):
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
Allowance for doubtful accounts at beginning of year | $ | 1,014 | $ | 1,648 | $ | 1,272 | |||||

Allowance for doubtful accounts at end of year | $ | 1,036 | $ | 1,014 | $ | 1,648 |
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 are included in operating costs.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at historical cost. Certain leases have been capitalized and the leased assets have been included in property and equipment. Additions of new equipment and major renewals and replacements of existing equipment are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements that do not materially increase values or extend useful lives are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis at rates based upon the expected useful lives of the various classes of assets. The expected useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: buildings—forty years, machinery and equipment—five to ten years, furniture and fixtures—three to five years, vehicles—four to six years and other property and equipment—two to five years.
Long-Lived Assets
Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company accounts for property, plant and equipment in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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
F-9
FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 was recorded in 2014 or 2013.
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.
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.
FASB ASC 350 requires a two-step process for testing goodwill impairment, however it permits an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is determined that, based on a qualitative assessment, it is not more likely than not that the Company’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the first and second steps of the goodwill impairment test are unnecessary. The Company has elected to bypass the qualitative assessment for all reporting units at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the first step of the two-step process, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). Two or more components of an operating segment shall be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has two reporting units for the purpose of testing goodwill impairment as the business segments are determined to be the reporting units. Second, if an impairment is indicated, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets is measured as the excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value.
The Company uses a multiple of revenues as the basis for its measurement of fair value as management considers this approach the most meaningful measure for its reporting units, given the nature of the Company’s business. To support the reasonableness of the calculated fair value, the Company compares the sum of the calculated fair values to the market capitalization of the Company as a whole, as the quoted market price provides the best evidence of fair value on a Company-wide basis.
Based on valuations performed by the Company at December 31, 2014 and 2013, no impairment was indicated.
As of December 31, 2014, goodwill of continuing operations totaled $15.6 million, all of which was associated with the Technical Services operating segment. As of December 31, 2013, goodwill of continuing operations totaled $15.5 million, all of which was associated with the Technical Services operating segment.
At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, $2.6 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily trade names) were included in intangible and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Gross finite-lived intangible assets of $11.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively, were also included in intangible and other assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, with accumulated amortization of $6.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The change in gross finite-lived intangible assets during 2014 was associated with changes in foreign exchange rates on certain intangible assets within the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions of the Technical Services segment. Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets totaled $2.3 million, $2.6 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows: customer contracts and relationships—one to five years, non-compete agreements—five years, patents, licenses and other—one to ten years.
Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360. In connection with a review in 2012, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million in selling, general and administrative expense related to certain finite-lived assets which were determined to have no value following the termination of a contract. There were no such impairments in 2014 or 2013.

The weighted-average amortization period for intangible assets subject to amortization is approximately 2.7 years.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when realized or realizable, and earned.
Revenues are recognized 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 and are generally billed on a time and materials basis when the work is completed. Revenue is typically recognized when services are rendered or when product is shipped to the job site and risk of ownership passes to the customer. Infrequently, the Company enters into contracts that are longer in duration that represent multiple element arrangements, which include a combination of services and products. For these contracts, revenues are allocated to the separate deliverables on the basis of stand-alone selling prices and recognized when the services have been rendered or the products delivered to the customer. The Company provides limited warranties to customers, depending upon the service performed. Warranty claim costs were not material during any of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.
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 as incurred. Direct costs related to projects for which the earnings process have 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.

FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the balance sheets of its foreign subsidiaries using year-end exchange rates and translates income statement amounts using the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the change in exchange rates from year to year are reported separately as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income. The Company has no foreign subsidiaries subject to foreign exchange restrictions.
Considering the Company’s global nature, and its exposure to foreign currencies, the financial results in any geographical area can be impacted by changes in currency exchange rates in any given year. Within the Company’s Technical Services segment, financial results in 2014 were favorably impacted in EMEA but were partially offset by unfavorable impacts in Asia-Pacific as a result of currency changes during the year. In 2013, financial results were unfavorably impacted in EMEA and Asia-Pacific and in 2012, the financial results were favorably impacted in EMEA but were partially offset by unfavorable impacts in Asia-Pacific as a result of currency exchange rate changes during the respective years.
Stock-Based Compensation
All stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the 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, 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 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.
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 Plan
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 management 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 Cost 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 strategically align its operating, selling, general and administrative costs to revenue. 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with 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. The Company’s significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, fair value estimates associated with acquisitions, stock-based compensation, defined benefit pension plan, income taxes, restructuring accruals and contingencies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidations Analysis, which changes the guidance with respect to the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. Companies have an option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption approach. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions
ENGlobal Engineering & Construction
On August 30, 2013, Furmanite America, Inc. (“Furmanite America”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the 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 FTS division was formed. 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 “Estimated Working Capital Payment”). 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. The Estimated 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, under mutual agreement by the parties, the determination date has been extended and remains pending as of December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The FTS and HSC acquisitions were not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations, therefore, neither FTS’s nor HSC’s pro forma results would have had material impact on the Company’s results had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the previous year.
4. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are calculated as income from continuing operations, loss from discontinued operations or net income, as applicable, divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including 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. Any dividends paid on restricted shares are non-forfeitable in the event the award does not vest. 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 (loss) 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 from continuing operations include the following for the years ended December 31, (in thousands, except per share data):

8. Restructuring
The Company committed to certain cost reductions in 2010 and 2012, including planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company has taken 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
In 2010, the Company committed to a cost reduction initiative (the “2010 Cost Reduction Initiative”) primarily related to the restructuring of certain functions within the Company’s EMEA operations in order to improve the operational and administrative efficiency of its EMEA operations. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has substantially completed the 2010 Cost Reduction initiative, with total costs incurred of approximately $3.9 million. Future cash payments of approximately $0.3 million are expected in connection with this initiative, all of which are expected to be paid within the next twelve months. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, a reduction to restructuring costs of $0.1 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. No restructuring costs were incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, restructuring costs incurred of $0.2 million are included selling, general and administrative expenses.
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 took these specific actions in order to further reduce administrative and overhead expenses and streamline its European operations’ structure for improved operational efficiencies in response to the challenging economic conditions in the region. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has substantially completed the 2012 Cost Reduction Initiative, with total restructuring costs incurred of approximately $3.2 million, which primarily relates to one-time termination benefits. Future cash payments in connection with this initiative are expected to be insignificant. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, reductions to restructuring costs of $41,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, are included in operating costs. For the year ended December 31, 2012, restructuring costs of $2.3 million and $1.1 million are included in operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.
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.

Credit Facilities
On March 5, 2012, certain foreign subsidiaries of FWI (the “foreign subsidiary designated borrowers”) 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.
The proceeds from the initial borrowing on the Credit Agreement were $30.0 million and were used to repay the amounts outstanding under a previous credit agreement, which was scheduled to mature in January 2013, at which time the previous credit agreement was terminated by the Company. Letters of credit issued under the previous credit agreement were replaced with similar letters of credit under the new Credit Agreement. There were no material circumstances surrounding the termination of the previous credit agreement and no material early termination penalties were incurred by the Company.
On June 29, 2012, FWI borrowed an additional $9.3 million under its Credit Agreement to fund the purchase of HSC. On August 30, 2013, FWI borrowed an additional $20.0 million under its Credit Agreement principally to fund the purchase of the acquired working capital associated with the acquisition of the assets of ENGlobal’s Engineering & Construction segment, with the remaining funds to be available to cover any transitional short-term cash flow needs. As of both December 31, 2014 and 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 December 31, 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 13 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 December 31, 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 approximates $202.0 million as of December 31, 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 Parent 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 and breach of representations and warranties. At December 31, 2014, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Considering the outstanding borrowings of $59.3 million, and $2.7 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $38.0 million at December 31, 2014.
Notes Payable
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.
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 August 30, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of the 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 is due in four equal annual installments of approximately $0.8 million beginning September 1, 2014, with the final payment due on September 1, 2017.

10. Retirement Plans
The Company has a defined contribution plan which covers substantially all eligible domestic employees and provides for varying levels of employer matching. Company contributions to this plan were $2.6 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in contributions in 2014 compared to 2013 is primarily attributable to the effect of the August 2013 acquisition described in Note 3.
Two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans, one plan covering certain of its U.K. employees (the “U.K. Plan”) and the other covering certain of its Norwegian employees (the “Norwegian Plan”). As the Norwegian Plan represents approximately three percent of both the Company’s total pension plan liabilities and total pension plan assets, only the schedules of net periodic pension cost and changes in benefit obligation and plan assets include combined amounts from the two plans, while all other assumption, detail and narrative information relates solely to the U.K. Plan.
Benefits for the U.K. Plan are based on the average of the employee’s salary for the last three years of employment. Prior to plan amendments in 2013, the employee contributed 6.5% to 12.0% and the employer contributes up to 12.0% of pay. In accordance with plan amendments, accruals for future benefits under the U.K. Plan have ceased effective November 1, 2013, with the affected employees transitioning to the subsidiary’s defined contribution plan. As a result, the Company incurred a curtailment loss of $0.3 million that was recognized as part of net pension cost during the year ended December 31, 2013. Plan assets are primarily invested in unitized pension funds managed by U.K. registered fund managers. The most recent valuation of the U.K. Plan was performed as of December 31, 2014. Estimated defined benefit pension plan contributions for 2015 are expected to be approximately $1.7 million. The Company expects future plan contributions will increase by approximately 3% per year, in accordance with certain funding commitments.

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. The discount rate assumption used to determine end of year benefit obligations was 3.7%. These rates are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined appropriate based on reference to yields. The expected return on plan assets of 5% for 2015 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 management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the pension obligation and future expense.

Based on an assessment of the observability of the inputs used in the measurement of fair value of the plan assets, the Company transferred all Level 3 assets to Level 2 assets during the year ended December 31, 2014. There were no transfers related to the Company’s Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Investment objectives for the U.K. Plan, as of December 31, 2014, are to:
• | optimize the long-term return on plan assets at an acceptable level of risk |
• | maintain a broad diversification across asset classes |
• | maintain careful control of the risk level within each asset class |
The trustees of the U.K. Plan have established a long-term investment strategy comprising global investment weightings targeted at 65% (range of 60% to 70%) for equity securities/diversified growth funds and 35% (range of 30% to 40%) for debt securities. Diversified growth funds are actively managed absolute return funds that hold a combination of debt and equity securities. Selection of the targeted asset allocation was based upon a review of the expected return and risk characteristics of each asset class, as well as the correlation of returns among asset classes. Actual allocations to each asset class vary from target allocations due to periodic investment strategy changes, market value fluctuations and the timing of benefit payments and contributions.

11. Stockholders’ Equity
The holders of shares of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of common stockholders. Each share of common stock is entitled to participate equally in dividends, when and if declared, and in the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, subject in all cases to any rights of outstanding preferred stock.
Series B Preferred Stock
On April 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one stock purchase right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock to stockholders of record on April 19, 2008. These Rights are substantially similar to, and were issued in replacement of, the rights that expired on April 19, 2008, pursuant to the Company’s then existing Stockholders Rights Plan. Pursuant to the replacement Stockholders Rights Plan, each Right entitles the holder, upon the occurrence of certain events, to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value, at a price of $48, subject to adjustment. The Rights will not become transferable from the common stock or become exercisable until a person or group either acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer that would result in ownership of 20% or more, whichever occurs earlier. The Rights, which were originally to expire on April 19, 2018, were redeemable in whole, but not in part, at the Company’s option at any time for a price of $0.01 per Right. On March 4, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors accelerated the expiration of the Rights to March 6, 2015, as discussed further in Note 20. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 400,000 Series B Preferred Shares authorized and none were outstanding.
Equity Compensation Plans
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. The options granted under these plans and agreements generally vest over periods of up to five years and expire between five to ten years after the grant date. All options were granted at prices greater than or equal to the market price at the date of grant. The equity compensation plan has 8,100,000 shares authorized and 2,529,524 shares were available for additional issuance at December 31, 2014.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, total compensation cost charged against income and included in selling, general, and administrative expenses, for stock-based compensation arrangements was $2.7 million, $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 includes $1.0 million in expense associated with the modification of certain outstanding equity awards pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive. Under the terms of such modification, the executive’s nonvested awards vested upon continued provision of service through the end of 2014. Additionally, the exercise period of certain outstanding stock options was extended to allow for exercise up to one year after the executive’s retirement. The expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 includes $0.1 million associated with the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the retirement of one of the Company’s directors. The total tax benefit related to stock options and restricted stock recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $1.1 million, $0.4 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. The unrecognized excess tax benefit related to the disposition of stock options and vesting of restricted stock was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as described further in Note 14.

Stock Options
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) as its method of valuation under FASB ASC 718-10 and a single option award approach. This fair value computation is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the options, which is generally the vesting period. 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 any cash dividends) and employee stock option exercise behavior and forfeiture assumptions (based on historical experience and other relevant factors).
The weighted-average estimated value of employee stock options granted in 2014, 2013 and 2012 were estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||
Expected volatility | 60.6% to 61.6% | 61.4% to 62.7% | 61.1% to 61.8% | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.8% to 2.0% | 1.0% to 2.1% | 0.9% to 1.1% | ||
Expected dividends | 0% | 0% | 0% | ||
Expected term in years | 6.0 to 6.3 | 6.0 to 6.3 | 6.0 to 6.3 |
The Company granted options to purchase 461,366, 524,463 and 904,158 shares of its common stock during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, that generally vest annually over three to five years. Of the stock options granted in 2012, vesting of 801,658 of these options was subject to achieving certain performance conditions. As the performance criteria under the plan were not met through December 31, 2014, all of these performance-based options have been forfeited, except that 34,195 of these options vested on December 31, 2014 pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive. All options were granted at prices equal to the market price at the date of grant. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $4.85, $7.40 and $2.63 per option, respectively. The maximum contractual term of the stock options is 10 years. The Company uses authorized but unissued shares of common stock for stock option exercises pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and treasury stock for issuances outside of the plan.
The changes in stock options outstanding for the Company’s plan for the year ended December 31, 2014 were as follows:

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock and restricted stock units are issued under the Company’s stock option plan. Restricted stock is an award of shares of the Company’s common stock (which have full voting rights but are restricted with regard to sale or transfer). Restricted stock is independent of stock option grants and is generally subject to forfeiture if service terminates prior to the vesting of the restricted stock. A restricted stock unit is an award of units of the Company’s common stock. Restricted stock units are generally subject to forfeiture if service or performance requirements are not met. The Company expenses the cost of restricted stock, which is determined to be the fair value of the restricted stock at the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For these purposes, the fair value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
During 2012, the Company granted 40,000 shares of restricted stock to its directors at a grant date fair value of $6.99 per share that cliff vest at the end of three years and may not be sold until they cease to be a director of the Company. The Company also granted 154,721 restricted stock units at a grant date fair value of $6.99 per share that vest over three years and 402,469 restricted stock units at a grant date fair value of $4.63 per share that vest over three years subject to achieving certain performance conditions. As the performance criteria under the plan were not met through December 31, 2014, all of the performance-based restricted stock units have been forfeited, except that 8,261 of these restricted stock units vested and converted to shares of common stock on December 31, 2014 pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive. The fair value of the restricted stock and restricted stock units granted in 2012 was determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant, and totaled $3.2 million.
During 2013, the Company granted 30,000 shares of restricted stock to its directors at a grant date fair value of $6.05 per share that cliff vest at the end of three years and may not be sold until they cease to be a director of the Company. The Company also granted 512,352 restricted stock units to certain employees at a grant date fair value of $7.04 per share subject to achieving certain performance conditions. As the performance criteria under the plan have not been met through December 31, 2014, 66.7% of the performance-based restricted stock units have been forfeited, while 25,907 units vested and converted to shares of common stock on December 31, 2014 pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive. The fair value of the restricted stock and restricted stock units granted in 2013 was determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant, and totaled $3.8 million.
During 2014, the Company granted 34,000 shares of restricted stock to its directors at a weighted average grant date fair value of $11.21 per share that cliff vest at the end of three years and may not be sold until they cease to be a director of the Company. The Company also granted 214,418 restricted stock units at a weighted average grant date fair value of $10.85 per share that vest over three years. Of these restricted stock units, the vesting of 65,381 units is subject to achieving certain performance conditions, except that 12,535 of these restricted stock units vested and converted to shares of common stock on December 31, 2014 pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive. The performance criteria under the plan for the performance-based restricted stock units is based on a cumulative metric to be calculated at the end of the three-year performance period. The fair value of the restricted stock and restricted stock units granted in 2014 was determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant, and totaled $2.7 million.

13. 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.
During the three months ended June 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 has been 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 December 31, 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 |

See Note 18 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.
F-31
FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Amounts reported in other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. At December 31, 2014, the Company estimates that approximately $0.2 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) as an increase to interest expense over the next twelve months.
The table below presents the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, (in thousands):

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.

Total income tax expense | $ | (7,811 | ) | $ | (9,733 | ) | $ | (5,365 | ) |
Income tax expense differs from the expected tax at statutory rates due primarily to the change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and different tax rates in the various state and foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the aggregate tax expense is not always consistent when comparing periods due to the change in mix of income from continuing operations before income taxes between domestic and foreign operations and within the foreign operations.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had available domestic alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $0.6 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely. At December 31, 2014, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $35.4 million, of which approximately $23.5 million can be carried forward indefinitely, with the remainder expiring on various dates through 2034.
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. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s valuation allowance was $10.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013 relate to U.S. federal and state, and foreign tax items.
The Company recognizes the excess income tax benefit associated with certain stock compensation deductions when such deductions produce a reduction in the Company’s current tax liability. A portion of such excess tax benefits from prior years totaling $1.0 million was recognized in 2014 as the Company realized a reduction to income taxes payable related to such deductions. Due to cumulative domestic net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) that exceeded the excess income tax benefits, the Company did not recognize the excess benefit of the tax deductions upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock in the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Long-term deferred tax liabilities of $3.9 million and $4.9 million were recorded at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In 2013, deferred tax expense of $0.8 million, related to changes in pension net actuarial loss and prior service credit as well as an unrealized gain on an interest rate swap was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Such amount for 2014 was insignificant.

The Company incurred no significant interest or penalties for any of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.
The Company and its subsidiaries file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States as well as various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2011 and subsequent years remain subject to examination. All material foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2009. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided thereon. At this time, it is not practicable to determine the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these undistributed earnings. The types of events that could trigger U.S. taxes on these undistributed earnings include a repatriation of cash held by foreign subsidiaries, certain foreign corporate restructuring or reorganizations, a decision to exit a particular business or jurisdiction leading to a sale of stock to a third party, and anticipated unfavorable tax law changes that would result in higher taxes on repatriations that occur after such change in law goes into effect.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases vehicles, office space, office equipment and other items of personal property under leases expiring at various dates. Management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Total rent expense incurred under operating leases, including short-term leases, was $28.3 million, $24.6 million and $17.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which includes $2.1 million, $0.7 million and nil, respectively, attributable to discontinued operations.

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 $0.8 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 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, 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 partial summary judgment in favor of Furmanite America, Inc. That decision is currently under appellate review. 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.
On February 27, 2015, the Norfolk County Retirement System (the “Complainant”) filed a derivative shareholder petition in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, on its behalf and purportedly on behalf of all other similarly situated public stockholders of the Company against certain of the Company’s directors (collectively “the defendants”) and naming the Company as a nominal party. The Complainant seeks relief by requesting the court to declare a specific provision of the Company’s shareholders rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) invalid, unenforceable and severable. Further, the Complainant seeks certain other relief relative to its allegations that the defendants breached their fiduciary responsibilities by (i) not redeeming or repealing the Rights Plan, or amending the Rights Plan to eliminate the challenged provision; and/or (ii) failing to promptly “approve” for purposes of the Rights Plan four dissident nominees for election to the Company’s board of directors nominated by a stockholder of the Company. The Company believes the claim is without merit and will vigorously defend the matter. On March 4, 2015, the Company’s board of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
directors took action to accelerate the final termination date of the rights under the Rights Plan to the close of business on March 6, 2015, effectively terminating the Rights Plan as of such time. On March 10, 2015, the Complainant notified the court that it anticipates it will dismiss the action without prejudice.
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 December 31, 2014 and 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.
16. Business Segment Data and Geographical Information
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. The Company operates in two segments that are based on its service and product offerings: 1) Technical Services and 2) Engineering & Project Solutions. For 2012, all results (excluding Corporate) are reportable under the Technical Services segment.
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. The Engineering & Project Solutions segment provides process management inspection services to contractors and operators participating primarily in the midstream oil and gas market, substantially all of which are in the Americas. A wide range of inspection services are offered, including, mechanical integrity, quality assurance and regulatory compliance services for pipelines and other capital, turnaround, maintenance and mechanical integrity projects. Previously, the Engineering & Project Solutions segment also included the operations of the FTS division, which provided professional engineering, construction management and plant asset management services. As discussed in Note 1, due to the sale of FTS in September 2015, the Company has retrospectively reclassified the operating results of FTS to discontinued operations. Accordingly, FTS is excluded from the presentation of segment information below. Prior period segment information has been restated to conform to the current-period presentation.
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.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the consolidated revenues during any of the past three fiscal years.
18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk
Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures 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 FASB 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 December 31, 2014 and 2013.

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 estimated fair value of all debt as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 approximated the carrying value. These fair values, which are Level 3 measurements, 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 value 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 years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.
