Further, we have taken steps to strengthen our ability to partner with customers earlier and longer in their projects and throughout the life cycles of their assets, which we believe will generate further opportunity in our markets. Moving forward, we are focused on driving high performance and profitable growth across our global organization, and while challenges remain in our markets, we are committed to doing what is within our control to enhance shareholder value.”

Discontinuing Earnings Guidance

The Company is discontinuing its practice of providing financial guidance due to a number of factors, including variable industry dynamics, the impact of foreign exchange, global economic considerations and other challenges that can impact its forecasting capabilities. The Company will continue to provide investors with perspective on its value drivers, its strategic initiatives and those factors critical to understanding its business and operating environment to continue to assist in guiding the investment community on its business outlook and environment.

Conference Call Details

In conjunction with the earnings release, Furmanite Corporation will host a conference call with, Joseph E. Milliron (Chief Executive Officer and President) and Robert S. Muff (Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administration Officer). The call will begin at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern) / 9:00 a.m. (Central) on Friday, March 6, 2015.

(A) These items are financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and exclude the impact of 1) incremental compensation expenses pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive and 2) direct costs associated with management transition and integration of the Furmanite Technical Solutions division. Management believes that results excluding these charges provide more meaningful and comparable information to analysts and is useful in comparing the operational trends of Furmanite Corporation. A reconciliation to the applicable GAAP measure is included at the end of the press release.
