Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In managements opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2011 and our operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2010 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which were filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011 as part of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 100% owned subsidiaries, and a joint venture consolidated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810Consolidation (ASC 810) (see Note 5). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 disclosure 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 and the differences could be material. On an ongoing basis, estimates are reviewed based on information that is currently available.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market.
Level 2inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, there have been no transfers between hierarchy levels.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had carrying values of $98,052 for accounts receivable, net, and $18,893 for accounts payable. For these respective items, the carrying value approximated fair value at March 31, 2011. The carrying value for long-term debt was $386,181 and the fair value approximated $400,300 at March 31, 2011.
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interests in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets represents the proportionate share of equity attributable to the minority shareholder of the Aquilex Arabia joint venture. Noncontrolling interest is adjusted each period to reflect the allocation of comprehensive income to or the absorption of comprehensive losses by the noncontrolling interest. The Company began consolidation of this joint venture upon receiving approval and certification by the Saudi government in February 2011. Accordingly, no prior year comparative period is presented.
Revenue Recognition
The Company evaluates the circumstances of each contract to determine the appropriate application of revenue recognition methods.
SRO Segment
The SRO construction services contracts that are short term in nature are primarily accounted for by the completed contract method and these contracts set forth the scope of services and provide a detailed work plan and timetable. Additionally, these contracts generally include automatic pricing adjustments to account for changes in the price of weld wire, the primary input material the Company uses in carrying out projects. In such cases, revenue is recognized at the completion of the job, when accepted by the customer, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Certain other SRO contracts are accounted for by the percentage of completion method. This method is used where there are reliable estimates of revenue and cost, the contract specifies terms and conditions, and both the purchaser and the Company have the ability and expectation to perform all the contractual duties. In this regard, the SRO segment uses two methods for determining the percent complete.
The output method involves the use of contract milestones which are specifically outlined in the contracts and reflect a reasonable estimate of progress on the project. Once the specific milestone is met, a percentage of revenue is recognized based on the cost incurred of the milestone and the estimated margin of the project. These milestones have clearly defined, recognized, and separable value and cost that reasonably reflect the progress of a long-cycle contract across multiple accounting periods. In some contracts, both specific billing and completion milestones are present. Sometimes, these are the same. However, the Company does have contracts where the billing milestone is set to have cash in advance of the revenue. In such circumstance, billing in excess of cost is recognized as a liability. In the event the project does not have definitive milestones, the input method of cost-to-total estimated costs is used to measure results directly and to measure progress toward completion. In these arrangements, a percentage of revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs after giving effect to estimates of costs to complete based on most recent information. We recognize revisions in profit estimates to income in the period in which the revision is determined. Estimated contract losses are recognized in full when determined.
The input method is used to determine the percent complete on time and materials contracts. Under the time and materials contracts, revenue is recognized based upon hours and cost to date at the estimated margin of the job. Due to the nature of these jobs, actual invoicing is completed after the revenue event occurs and therefore a cost in excess of billing is recorded at month end.
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the SRO segment did not have any contracts for which a loss was anticipated.
These methods for determining the percent complete are applied consistently among all of the SRO segment contracts having similar characteristics.

IC Segment
The industrial cleaning segment derives its revenues from services under time and materials and fixed-price contracts. Revenues from time and materials contracts are recognized as services are performed and efforts are expended. Alternatively, revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized over the contractual period in a ratable manner due to the consistent performance of services from period to period. Any losses on these contracts are recognized in the period during which they are estimable. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the IC segment did not have any contracts for which a loss was anticipated.
Income Taxes
The Company is a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and as such, members of an LLC are not personally liable for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company. However, the Companys operations consist of both an LLC, which is not taxed as a separate entity, and certain corporate subsidiaries, which are subject to taxation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.
The Company regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain. The estimation of required valuation allowances includes an estimate of future taxable income, reversals of deferred tax liabilities, carry back periods, and tax planning strategies.
In accordance with ASC 740, the Company recorded reserves and interest for the uncertain outcome of certain tax positions and elected to include any future penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The Company has determined that it has no material increases or decreases in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to existing standards for revenue arrangements with multiple components. The amendments generally require the allocation of consideration to separate components based on the relative selling price of each component in a revenue arrangement. The amendments are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations.

Management considers the trade names to have indefinite useful lives and, accordingly, are not subject to amortization. The Company reached this conclusion principally due to the longevity of the Aquilex name and the associated subsidiary names, and because the Company considered renewal upon the legal limit of the trade name as perfunctory. The Company expects to maintain usage of the Aquilex and the associated subsidiary trade names on existing products and introduce new products in the future that will also display the trade name. Consequently, trade names qualify as an indefinite-lived asset in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other.
Intangible assets are amortized over the period the economic use is consumed.

5. | Aquilex Arabia Joint Venture |
In the second quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a Saudi Arabian company to form a limited liability company for the purpose of marketing and providing the Companys services for refining, petrochemical and power generation applications in the Middle East. The joint venture, Aquilex Arabia Co. Ltd. (the joint venture), received approval and certification by the Saudi government in February 2011. The Company is the majority shareholder with 60% ownership in the joint venture. For operating purposes, the Company and the joint venture partner are obligated to provide ongoing funding on a percentage ownership basis.
The Company determined that the joint venture is a variable interest entity under ASC 810, Consolidation, and that the Company is the joint ventures primary beneficiary. The determination that the Company is the primary beneficiary was based on ownership percentage, voting control and absorption of the profits and losses associated with the joint venture. Therefore, the financial position and results of operations of the joint venture are consolidated. Earnings and losses of the joint venture are allocable on a ratable basis based on each partys ownership interest. The portion of the joint ventures earnings and losses owned by the joint venture partner is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as net income(loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Through March 31, 2011, the joint venture has incurred start up expenses of approximately $1,254 and had total assets at March 31, 2011 of $244.

The Amendment, among other things, provided the following:
§ | increased the Applicable Rate by 50 basis points, |
§ | increased the size of the basket for investments in Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries to the greater of $20,000,000 and 10% of Total Tangible Assets, |
§ | increased the size of the baskets for Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries to guarantee and incur indebtedness in the aggregate to 10% of Total Tangible Assets and |
§ | granted additional head room for the Companys financial maintenance covenants (Total Leverage Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio and Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, each as defined in the Credit Agreement). |
The Company paid a one-time amendment fee of 25 basis points, or $1,063, to participating lenders, based on outstanding commitments and loans, and paid arranging fees for the amendment to Royal Bank of Canada and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. In addition, the guarantors under the Credit Agreement executed consents to the Amendment. Except as amended by the Amendment, the remaining terms of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect.
At March 31, 2011, the Companys Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial maintenance covenants requiring us to maintain certain minimum or maximum financial ratios, as follows: (i) a minimum interest coverage ratio ranging from 1.55:1 to 1.95:1 over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement; (ii) a maximum leverage ratio ranging from 6.75:1 to 4.85:1 over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement; and (ii) a maximum secured leverage ratio ranging from 3.00:1 to 2.50:1 over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.
Subject to various exceptions and baskets set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries (other than any unrestricted subsidiaries) are restricted from taking certain actions, including: (i) incurring additional indebtedness; (ii) creating liens on assets; (iii) making investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (iv) paying dividends or distributions on, or repurchasing stock or other equity interests; (v) repaying, redeeming or repurchasing certain indebtedness; (vi) changing the nature of the Companys business; (vii) engaging in transactions with affiliates; (viii) undergoing fundamental changes (including mergers); and (ix) making dispositions of assets. The Company is also prohibited from making capital expenditures in excess of the greater of $25,000 and 25% of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) in any fiscal year, provided that any unused amounts in one fiscal year may be carried over to the next year. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains cross default covenants tied to all other indebtedness of the Company.
Subject to various exceptions and baskets contained in the Senior Notes indenture, the 11 1/8% Senior Notes terms include covenants that restrict the Company and its subsidiaries from taking certain actions, including (i) incurring additional indebtedness; (ii) creating liens on assets; (iii) paying dividends or distributions on, or repurchasing stock or other equity interests; (iv) repaying, redeeming or repurchasing certain indebtedness; (v) making investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (vi) changing the nature of the Companys business; (vii) engaging in transactions with affiliates; (viii) undergoing fundamental changes (including mergers); and (ix) making dispositions of the Companys assets. The Senior Notes indenture also contains cross default covenants tied to all other indebtedness of the Company.
Covenant Compliance
As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants in its Amended Credit Agreement. Based on the Companys current business plan, the Company believes its existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under the Companys revolving credit facility will be sufficient for the Company to meet anticipated cash needs, including debt payment requirements, for the next twelve months. The Company also believes that it will be in compliance with the debt covenants for the next twelve months. However, if the Company is unable to do so, it could have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Execution of the Companys business plan and continued compliance with the Companys debt covenants are dependent upon the Company obtaining a minimum Adjusted

Dollars in thousands
EBITDA which is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash or unusual items permitted in calculating covenant compliance in our Amended Credit Agreement. The Companys expectations regarding Adjusted EBITDA depend on certain estimates and assumptions regarding the demand and rates for the Companys services and operating and general and administrative expenses which could prove to be inaccurate. It also contains an estimate of the extent and timing of the release of deferred maintenance and repair projects by the Companys customers. A deviation from one or more of these estimates or assumptions could result in a violation of one or more of the Companys covenants which could result in all or a portion of the Companys outstanding debt becoming immediately due and payable.
If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow or is otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal and interest on the Companys indebtedness, or if the Company otherwise fails to comply with the various covenants in the agreements governing the Companys indebtedness, including the covenants contained in the Companys Amended Credit Agreement, the Company would be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. Prior to such default, the Company could consider opportunities to reduce certain discretionary expenditures or prepay certain amounts of principal outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement. In the event of such a default under the Companys Amended Credit Agreement, including a failure to satisfy the specified financial ratios, the Company would need to seek (i) an equity contribution or (ii) a waiver of all covenant defaults under the Amended Credit Agreement.
8. | Deferred Financing Costs and Original Issue Discount |
In February 2011, the Company paid $1,063 of deferred financing costs as a result of the amendment and arranging fees upon entering into its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $13,735 and $13,413 of net outstanding deferred financing costs, respectively.
Original Issue Discount (OID) is amortized to the carrying value of the debt on the balance sheet and charged to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. OID is the discount from par value at the time that a bond or other debt instrument is issued. The discount represents the difference between the stated redemption price at maturity and the issue price of the debt instrument. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $8,969 and $9,376 of unamortized OID costs, respectively.
The Company recorded amortization of deferred financing costs and OID to interest expense of $1,130 and $2,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Insurance
The Company has a $500,000 per occurrence deductible insurance program for most losses related to general liability, product liability, automobile liability, workers compensation, and certain legal claims. For the Companys environmental liability, they have a $250,000 per occurrence deductible. The expected ultimate cost for claims incurred as of the balance sheet date is not discounted and is recognized as a liability. Self-insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical loss development experience. The Company has a $300,000 per covered person deductible insurance policy for medical and dental coverage. The Company has not incurred significant claims or losses on any of these insurance policies. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $4,710 and $4,643, respectively, were included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets for self-insurance claims.

Litigation
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of our business. Substantially all of these suits are being defended by the Company, their insurance carriers or other parties pursuant to indemnification obligations. The Company believes a majority of the claims covered by insurance will be resolved at or for less than the applicable deductibles and that any liability in excess of a deductible will not exceed the limits of the applicable insurance policies. Although the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes adequate provision has been made for substantially all of the outstanding claims and the final outcome of any pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Teck Cominco Metals Ltd. v. WSI, et al. The Company is named as a defendant in this suit filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, in which the plaintiff alleges that a boiler explosion it experienced in 2004 was the result of a water leak caused by allegedly negligent fabrication work performed by defendant Foster Wheeler Pyropower, Inc., or allegedly negligent repair work subsequently performed by WSI in 1998, 1999 or 2002. The plaintiff alternatively alleges that WSI negligently failed to alert it to the hazardous condition of the boiler. The plaintiff claims damages of approximately $28,000. WSIs insurer has been notified about this litigation and is funding the defense costs. Discovery in this matter commenced in April 2008 and is ongoing. The Company obtained evidence that the leak in question may have been caused by a third party, and joined such third party as well as other potentially responsible parties as defendants in this litigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter and does not believe a loss is either probable or reasonably estimable.
Performance Bonds
During the ordinary course of business, the Company is periodically required to enter into performance bond arrangements to collateralize its obligations under various contracts. The Company has a total of $7,755 and $5,532 in performance bond obligations as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
10. | Income Taxes |
Income tax provisions for the interim period are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant, infrequent, or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The Companys effective tax rate was (35.0%) and (50.6%) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The change in our effective tax rate is primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax book loss, deduction limitations for per diems for field employees, non-deductible stock based compensation, and other nondeductible expenses. As a result of these significant nondeductible expenses, the forecasted annual effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are negative, thereby resulting in income tax expense on pre-tax book losses for such periods.
11. | Employee Benefit Plans |
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan into which eligible employees may elect to contribute from 0% to 75% of their pre-tax compensation subject to an annual maximum dollar amount as set by the Internal Revenue Service. At its discretion, the Company may make discretionary matching cash contributions. Employer 401(k) matching contributions to the plan were $455 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Prior to April 2010, each segment maintained a separate 401(k) plan. Subsequently, all plans were converted to one consolidated Aquilex 401(k) plan.
12. | Supplemental Guarantor Information |
On December 23, 2009, the Company completed an offering of $225,000 unsecured 11 1/8% Senior Notes due 2016. The Senior Notes are jointly, severally, fully, and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by all of the current 100% owned material U.S. subsidiaries (Guarantor Subsidiaries).

The Company evaluates the performance and allocates resources based on Adjusted EBITDA results. The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of segment profitability.
The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because they consider it an important supplemental measure of the Companys performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in their industry and because a determination of Adjusted EBITDA is necessary to calculate the Companys covenant compliance under the Companys Amended Credit Agreement.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other specific items permitted in calculating covenant compliance in the Companys Amended Credit Agreement.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together (i) with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (ii) with our December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and related information and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.
We are a leading global provider of critical maintenance, repair, overhaul and industrial cleaning solutions. Through our divisional and branch offices in the United States and Europe, we provide our services to a diverse global base of over 600 customers, primarily in the oil and gas refining, chemical and petrochemical production, fossil and nuclear power generation and waste-to-energy industries. Our customer relationships have extended over many years. We combine our proprietary technology, specialized equipment fleet, skilled workforce and project management expertise to provide a broad range of complementary industrial services. These services are often mandatory and recurring in nature and are essential for optimizing the operating efficiency, utilization, profitability and safety of our customers facilities.
We operate our business in two segments:
Specialty Repair and Overhaul (51.6% of first quarter 2011 revenues). Our SRO services include welding repair, erosion and corrosion protection and specialized construction services, including component repair. SRO services focus on repairing and improving the service life of new or existing equipment using our proprietary technology. We develop and utilize customized, automated equipment for our SRO services which enables us to improve the efficiency of our pipefitters and boilermakers and allows us to complete repairs in areas characterized by excessive heat, high radiation, complex piping and other structural barriers. We provide services to facilities on a routine, periodic and turnaround basis, as well as emergency work. Turnaround or outage services are required regularly and are critical to the continued operation of facilities. These services are often necessary to comply with government mandates, particularly in the nuclear industry. In 2010, we completed 724 projects, and in the first quarter of 2011, we completed 153 projects. Approximately 69.6% of the 2010 revenues of our SRO segment were generated from customers located in North America. For the first quarter of 2011, 74.9% of SRO revenue was generated from customers located in North America.
Industrial Cleaning (48.4% of first quarter 2011 revenues). Industrial cleaning is critical to maintaining plant efficiency and safety. These services typically cannot be deferred by customers for long periods of time and constitutes an essential component of our customers regularly scheduled in-plant maintenance programs. Our Industrial Cleaning services include recurring maintenance activities, such as hydroblasting, industrial vacuuming, chemical cleaning and tank cleaning, and are focused on the chemical and petrochemical production, oil and gas refining and fossil power generation industries. Industrial Cleaning generates significant recurring revenue from routine, daily maintenance, and since we perform cleaning services at many sites on a daily basis, proximity to our customers is essential. As a result, we maintain a broad geographic network of 76 service locations, 58 of which are co-located on customers premises. While our cleaning services typically include the removal of waste from the equipment being cleaned, our customers retain ownership of the resulting waste at all times.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)
Revenues
Revenues increased $1.8 million, or 1.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was attributable to higher revenues in our Industrial Cleaning segment.
SRO. Revenues in our SRO segment decreased $1.2 million, or 2.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily the result of a $13.0 million decline in our engineered solution and other nuclear repair service lines as the number and size of these highly engineered projects decreased. In addition, revenues decreased for customers in Fossil Power and other industries by $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $4.7 million and $8.9 million from our Petrochemical and Refinery customers, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Industrial Cleaning. Revenues in our IC segment increased $3.0 million, or 6.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period, largely due to increased demand for cleaning services related to customers turnaround projects. The increase was primarily the result of the $4.3 million increase from cleaning services to our Petrochemical customers for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increases were offset by decreases of $0.8 million and $0.7 million from Fossil-fuel power and Pulp and Paper customers, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation
Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased $5.0 million, or 6.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased 3.4 percentage points to 74.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from 70.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
SRO. Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased $0.1 million, or 0.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Approximately $1.2 million of the increase for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was driven by (a) project mix which was driven by a greater proportion of lower margin services provided to customers, (b) higher job costs for international projects, and (c) lower pricing on several jobs due to competitive pricing pressures. This increase in cost of revenue was offset by (1) a volume decrease of approximately $0.8 million resulting from the 2.1% decline in SRO revenue, and (2) cost reductions of $0.3 million related to controlling indirect costs.
Industrial Cleaning. Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased $4.9 million, or 14.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by a volume increase of approximately $2.0 million resulting from the 6.1% revenue increase for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Cost of revenue was further increased by increases in labor, fuel, and supplies costs of approximately $1.7 million, $0.8 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Cost of revenue - Depreciation
Depreciation costs increased $0.3 million, or 7.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increased depreciation on 2010 capital expenditures.
SRO. Depreciation costs in our SRO segment increased $0.4 million, or 35.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increased depreciation resulting from the $3.9 million of 2010 capital expenditures.
Industrial Cleaning. Depreciation costs in our Industrial Cleaning segment decreased $0.1 million, or 3.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to asset dispositions and assets becoming fully depreciated, partially offset by the depreciation of new capital assets acquired.

Gross profit
Gross profit decreased $3.5 million, or 12.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Our gross profit margin decreased to 21.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 25.2% for the corresponding prior year period.
SRO. Gross profit in our SRO segment decreased $1.8 million, or 13.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. This decrease was primarily the result of a 2.1% decrease in revenues, job project mix, higher job costs for international work, competitive pricing, and a 35.5% increase in depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Industrial Cleaning. Gross profit in our Industrial Cleaning segment decreased $1.7 million, or 12.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily the result of the 14.6 percentage point increase in cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, as a result of higher labor, fuel, supply and rental equipment costs, offset to a lesser extent by a 6.1% increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Selling, general and administrative expense
SG&A expense increased $2.6 million, or 15.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expense increased to 17.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 15.8% of revenues for the corresponding prior year period.
SRO. SG&A expense in our SRO segment decreased 0.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and essentially remained consistent with the prior year corresponding period. SG&A expense in our SRO segment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 represented 12.1% of SRO revenues during this period, compared to 11.9% in the corresponding prior year period. This 0.2 percentage point increase primarily resulted from the SG&A remaining relatively flat while revenues declined 2.1% from the prior year corresponding period.
Industrial Cleaning. SG&A expense in our Industrial Cleaning segment increased $1.3 million, or 13.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. SG&A expense in our IC segment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 represented 21.8% of IC revenues during this period, compared to 20.4% in the corresponding prior year period. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in labor costs of approximately $0.3 million and health insurance costs of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. In addition, SG&A in the comparable period in 2010 was lower as a result of $0.7 million in proceeds from business interruption insurance for Hurricane Ike that was received in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Corporate and other. The Company policy is to allocate out all Corporate SG&A to the SRO and Industrial Cleaning segments. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we began consolidating the Aquilex Arabia joint venture as a result of receiving the approval and certification by the Saudi government in February 2011. This consolidation contributed $1.3 million to the overall increase as compared to corresponding prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization costs decreased $1.2 million, or 23.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year periods.
SRO. Depreciation and amortization costs in our SRO segment decreased $1.1 million, or 30.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Approximately $1.0 million of the decrease primarily resulted from the reduced amortization in the three months ending March 31, 2011 resulting from the $53.2 million impairment of SRO amortizable assets in the fourth quarter of 2010. The impairment reduced the amortizable base over the remaining life and as a result the quarterly amortization decreased. The remaining $0.1 of the decrease was primarily due to asset dispositions

and assets becoming fully depreciated, partially offset by depreciation of new assets acquired in 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.
Industrial Cleaning. Depreciation and amortization costs in our Industrial Cleaning segment decreased $0.1 million, or 7.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to asset dispositions and assets becoming fully depreciated, partially offset by depreciation of new assets acquired in 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.
Interest expense, net
Net interest expense decreased $2.9 million, or 22.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower effective interest rate on the current capital structure of term debt and senior notes during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that primarily resulted from refinancing activities that we undertook in April 2010. Our average debt, net of original issue discount, during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $379.4 million, compared with $374.1 for the corresponding prior year period.
Other, net
Other, net fluctuated based primarily on gains and losses from foreign currency transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Income taxes
Income tax provisions for the interim period are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant infrequent or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The income tax expense decreased $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Our effective tax rate was (35.0%) and (50.6%) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The change in our effective tax rate is primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax book loss, deduction limitations for per diems for field employees, non-deductible stock based compensation, and other nondeductible expenses. As a result of these significant nondeductible expenses, the forecasted annual effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are negative, thereby resulting in income tax expense on pre-tax book losses for such periods.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, we did not recognize any previously unrecognized tax benefits nor did we increase the reserve for uncertain tax positions.
Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating performance, is defined as net income(loss) plus interest expense (income), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income(loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for managements discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax payments and debt service requirements. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other specific items permitted in calculating covenant compliance in our Amended Credit Agreement.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry and because a determination of Adjusted EBITDA is necessary to calculate our covenant compliance under our Amended Credit Agreement. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
§ | they do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
§ | they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
§ | they do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on our debts; |
§ | they do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; |
§ | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
§ | other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and |
§ | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures that may recur in future periods. |
The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to equity holders of the Company to net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2011, we had cash of $2.4 million, working capital of $54.6 million and outstanding debt obligations, net of OID, of $386.2 million. At March 31, 2011, we had $14.0 million outstanding letter of credit obligations. Our ability to satisfy our expenses and debt obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory and other factors. We will not be able to control many of these factors, such as economic conditions and government regulation.
On October 13, 2010, Moodys Investors Service downgraded our Corporate Family Rating (CFR) from B2 to B3. Further, on September 22, 2010, Standards & Poors (S&P) placed our corporate credit rating of B on CreditWatch with negative implications. These actions may negatively impact our ability to conduct future financings. On February 17, 2011, S&P removed our rating from CreditWatch and concurrently affirmed our B rating.
At March 31, 2011, the available revolving capacity under our revolving credit facility was $29.0 million. Our ability to access our revolving credit facility is contingent upon our continued compliance with certain covenants on the various facilities, described more fully below and in Note 7 in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that include a minimum interest coverage ratio; maximum leverage ratio and maximum secured leverage ratio. Our Credit Agreement also contains cross default covenants tied to all other indebtedness of the Company. The minimum cash interest coverage ratio, the maximum leverage ratio and the maximum secured leverage ratio (each as described below) are computed based on the Companys financial results for the last twelve months ended.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants in its Credit Agreement.
On February 28, 2011, we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment) to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2010 and modified on June 17, 2010 (as amended, the Credit Agreement), with the Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and L/C (Letter of Credit) Issuer, and the required lenders thereunder.
The Amendment, among other things, provided the following:
§ | increased the Applicable Rate by 50 basis points; |
§ | increased the size of the basket for investments in Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries to the greater of $20,000,000 and 10% of Total Tangible Assets; |
§ | increased the size of the baskets for Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries to guarantee and incur indebtedness in the aggregate to 10% of Total Tangible Assets; and |
§ | granted additional head room for our financial maintenance covenants (Total Leverage Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio and Senior Secured Leverage Ratio). |
The amended financial covenants changed favorably for the Company and are as follows:
§ | A minimum interest coverage ratio, ranging from 1.55:1 to 1.95:1 over the term of the Credit Agreement. The minimum interest coverage ratio is computed as the Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense. |
§ | A maximum leverage ratio, ranging from 6.75:1 to 4.85:1 over the term of the Credit Agreement. The maximum leverage ratio is computed as consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to any pro forma adjustments which are those relating to the EBITDA of a permitted acquisition or disposition. |
§ | A maximum secured leverage ratio ranging from 3.00:1 to 2.50:1 over the term of the Credit Agreement. The maximum secured leverage ratio is computed as the consolidated secured indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA giving effect to pro forma adjustments, as defined above, deeming to have occurred on the first day of the applicable measurement period. |
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement and the Amendment, which were incorporated by reference as exhibits to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)
Based on our current business plan, we believe our existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including debt payment requirements, for the next twelve months. We also believe that we will be in compliance with the debt covenants for the next twelve months. Continued compliance with our debt covenants is dependent upon us obtaining a minimum Adjusted EBITDA. Our expectations regarding Adjusted EBITDA depend on certain estimates and assumptions regarding the demand and rates for our services and operating and general and administrative expenses which could prove to be inaccurate. It also depends on an estimate of the extent and timing of the release of deferred maintenance and repair projects by our customers. A deviation from one or more of these estimates or assumptions could result in a violation of one or more of our covenants which could result in all or a portion of our outstanding debt becoming immediately due and payable. We may be required to seek amendments or waivers in the future, and there can be no certainty that such amendment or waivers would be forthcoming. If we were required to seek an amendment or waiver of our financial ratio covenants and were unable to obtain one, we would default under our Credit Agreement which could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Cash Flows
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $6.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, resulting in an increase of $6.7 million in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily the result of a $2.7 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This change resulted primarily from the timing of cash receipts and payments. The overall increase in net cash used in operating activities was further impacted by the adjustment for non-cash items of approximately $3.5 million which resulted primarily from decreases to amortization of intangibles, deferred financing costs and original issue discount. The remainder of the increase of approximately $0.5 million in net cash used in operating activities was the result of various other working capital changes.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $2.4 million offset by $0.5 million of Aquilex Arabia expenses paid for by our joint venture partner, and a $0.5 decrease in the restricted cash usage.
Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Financing Activities
Our net cash provided by financing activities increased by $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the corresponding prior year period due primarily to the $7.0 million draw from our revolving credit facility in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to none in the corresponding prior year period. Further, principal payments decreased $1.2 million as a result of the debt refinancing. These increases in first quarter 2011 financing activities were primarily offset by $1.1 million of deferred financing costs payments associated with the amendment of the Credit Agreement.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $5.3 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
Except as noted below, we did not have any material changes to our contractual obligations and other commitments as provided in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to existing standards for revenue arrangements with multiple components. The amendments generally require the allocation of consideration to separate components based on the relative selling price of each component in a revenue arrangement. The amendments are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. Except for the ASU listed above, those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to our company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on our company.
