CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Report, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, savings and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe” or “continue” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. The Company bases its forward-looking statements on reasonable beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about itself and its industry. The Company cautions that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted, including, without limitation, the risks described under “Risk Factors” in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. One is cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, or otherwise.

FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2015
(Unaudited)

1. General and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General

The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Furmanite Corporation (the “Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Furmanite”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

In the third quarter of 2015, a subsidiary of the Company sold the Furmanite Technical Solutions (“FTS”) division of the Company’s Engineering & Project Solutions operating segment. As a result, the Company has classified the operating results, assets, liabilities and cash flows attributable to FTS as discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recorded in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, when realized or realizable, and earned.

Revenues are recognized 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 either of the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly based on related service levels and functionality, and carrying cost is reduced to net realizable value for inventories in which their cost exceeds their utility, due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or other causes. The cost of inventories consumed or products sold is included in operating costs.

Operating Costs

Operating costs include direct and indirect labor along with related fringe benefits, materials, freight, travel, engineering, vehicles and equipment rental, and are expensed when the associated revenue is recognized or as incurred. Direct costs related to projects for which the earnings process has not been completed and therefore not qualifying for revenue recognition are recorded as work-in-process inventory.


9


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll and related fringe benefits, marketing, travel, rent, information technology, insurance and professional fees, and are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. These balances are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the year(s) in which these temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as an income tax expense or benefit in the period when the change is enacted.

Based on consideration of all available evidence regarding their utilization, net deferred tax assets are recorded to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Where, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established for that amount that, in management’s judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In concluding whether a valuation allowance on domestic federal, state or foreign income taxes is required, the Company considers all relevant factors, including the history of operating income and losses, future taxable income and the nature of the deferred tax assets.

Income tax expense differs from the expected tax at statutory rates due primarily to changes in valuation allowances for certain deferred tax assets and different tax rates in the various foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the aggregate tax expense is not always consistent when comparing periods due to the changing mix of income (loss) before income taxes within the countries in which the Company operates. Interim period income tax expense or benefit is computed at the estimated annual effective income tax rate, unless adjusted for specific discrete items as required.

The tax benefit from uncertain tax positions is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. Uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions would not impact the effective foreign tax rate where unrecognized non-current tax benefits are offset by fully reserved net operating loss carryforwards. The Company recognizes interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized non-current tax benefits as part of the income tax provision.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the 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. The provisions of the new guidance were originally to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date by one year to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. The ASU does not provide an option for early adoption, but as set forth in ASU 2015-14, entities are permitted to early adopt the new guidance using the original effective date in ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation 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 does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-02 to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in the ASU change the balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs

10


by requiring them to be presented as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Transitioning to the new guidance requires retrospective application. However, in August 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting), which codifies certain SEC Staff views on the presentation of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC Staff has stated that it will not object to the presentation of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements as assets, regardless of whether any borrowings are outstanding. Currently, all of the Company’s debt issuance costs pertain to its line-of-credit arrangement; therefore, the Company intends to continue recording these unamortized costs as assets rather than using the approach set forth in ASU No. 2015-03. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15 to have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments in the ASU require entities that measure inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value to more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal. ASU No. 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Discontinued Operations

On September 24, 2015, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Furmanite America, Inc. (“Furmanite America”), entered into an asset purchase agreement with Burrow Global, LLC (“Burrow Global”) under which Furmanite America agreed to sell to Burrow Global substantially all of the assets of the Company’s FTS division of its Engineering & Project Solutions operating segment. Additionally, Burrow Global agreed to assume certain liabilities related to FTS. Included in the sale were the FTS operations in the Beaumont, Texas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Deer Park, Texas; and Freeport, Texas offices, which primarily perform in-office and in-plant engineering and non-destructive testing and inspection work for downstream clients in the Gulf Coast region. The Company has retained the process management inspection component of its Engineering & Project Solutions segment. On September 28, 2015, the closing of the transaction took place and the Company received cash proceeds of $13.8 million plus a one-year, 4% promissory note from Burrow Global for $0.6 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the final calculation of net working capital, which is to be determined within 75 days of closing in accordance with the asset purchase agreement.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has classified the operating results, assets, liabilities and cash flows of FTS as discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, included in the consolidated statements of income consists of the following (in thousands):

September 30, 2015 consist of miscellaneous residual items, primarily certain liabilities for accrued compensation and accrued expenses that were not assumed by Burrow Global.

As part of the asset purchase agreement to sell FTS, Furmanite America made customary representations and warranties, which generally survive for a period of six months following the closing of the transaction. The asset purchase agreement also contains customary indemnification provisions under which, subject to certain limitations, Furmanite America’s maximum indemnification obligations are limited to $0.8 million for breaches of representations and warranties, non-performance, uncollected net working capital and third party claims. The indemnification obligations expire two years after the closing of the transaction. The Company believes that it is remote that Furmanite America would be required to make any payment under these indemnification provisions.
    
3. Acquisition

On April 21, 2015, Furmanite America entered into a settlement agreement with ENGlobal Corporation (“ENGlobal”) (the “Agreement”) to resolve the determination of the final working capital adjustment associated with the Company’s August 2013 acquisition of ENGlobal’s Engineering & Construction segment. Additionally, the Agreement resolves certain other claims and disputes of the parties associated with this acquisition as well as a smaller acquisition the Company completed in January 2013. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company made cash payments to ENGlobal of $3.6 million in April 2015, reflecting the settlement of the $4.4 million remaining principal amount on two acquisition-related notes payable, partially offset by $0.8 million of net credits related to accrued interest and the final settlement of reimbursable items and working capital balances. The Company realized a gain of $0.1 million in connection with the Agreement.

4. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) amounts 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 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 (in thousands, except per share data):

Credit Facilities

On March 13, 2015, 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 second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the credit agreement dated March 5, 2012 with a syndicate of banks (collectively, the “Lenders”) previously led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). Under the Second Amendment, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is the successor Administrative Agent, replacing JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Second Amendment includes several modifications, including increasing the revolving credit facility capacity to $150.0 million from $100.0 million, extending the maturity date to March 13, 2020 from February 28, 2017, reducing the ranges for the commitment fee and margin that is added to the applicable variable interest rate and the easing of certain covenants and restrictive terms. The Second Amendment also reflects changes in the composition of the Lenders and their respective commitment amounts. The portion of the amount available for swing line loans to FWI is $10.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The loans outstanding to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers under the Credit Agreement may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $68.9 million and $59.3 million, respectively, 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 1.5% at September 30, 2015. 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. On March 16, 2015, 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 1.99% plus the margin and Leverage Ratio adjustment,

14


as described above, beginning March 13, 2016 through March 13, 2020 on $40.0 million of the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement. This interest rate swap replaces the previous swap, which was terminated in March 2015 in conjunction with the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement. See Note 10 for further information regarding the interest rate swaps. The Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges from 0.15% to 0.30% based on the Leverage Ratio (0.20% at September 30, 2015), and is based on the unused portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets (which approximated $202.2 million as of September 30, 2015). 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 3.00 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 minus cash taxes minus Restricted Payments made in cash (i.e., all dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock, sinking funds or similar deposits on account thereof or other returns of capital, redemption or repurchases of equity interests, and any payments to the Parent Company or its subsidiaries (other than FWI and its subsidiaries)) / interest expense plus scheduled payments of debt, 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, however certain restrictions are only applicable in instances where the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants or breach of representations and warranties. At September 30, 2015, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Considering the outstanding borrowings of $68.9 million and $7.7 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $73.4 million at September 30, 2015.

Notes Payable and Other Debt

On January 1, 2013, in connection with an asset purchase from ENGlobal, the Company issued a $1.9 million promissory note, which bore interest at 5.0% per annum. On August 30, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of the assets of ENGlobal’s Engineering & Construction segment, the Company issued a $3.0 million promissory note, which bore interest at 4.0% per annum. These notes were originally due in four equal annual installments; however, in accordance with the settlement agreement with ENGlobal discussed in Note 3, the Company settled the remaining principal balance on both notes, which totaled $4.4 million on the date of the settlement in 2015.

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.

7. Retirement Plans

Two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans, one plan covering certain of its United Kingdom employees (the “U.K. Plan”) and the other covering certain of its Norwegian employees (the “Norwegian Plan”). As the Norwegian Plan represents approximately three percent of both the Company’s total pension plan liabilities and total pension plan assets, only the schedule of net periodic pension cost includes combined amounts from the two plans, while assumption and narrative information relates solely to the U.K. Plan.

The expected long-term rate of return on invested assets is determined based on the weighted average of expected returns on asset investment categories as follows: 5.0% overall, 6.4% for equities and 2.4% for bonds. The Company expects to contribute $1.7 million to the pension plan for 2015, of which $1.2 million has been contributed through September 30, 2015.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has equity compensation plans and agreements for officers, directors and key employees which allow for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the total compensation cost charged against income and included in selling, general and administrative expenses for stock-based compensation arrangements was $0.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Compensation cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes $0.2 million associated with the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the retirement of one of the Company’s directors. Included in compensation cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is $0.5 million in expense associated with the modification of certain outstanding equity awards pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive entered into during the third quarter of 2014.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company did not grant any shares of restricted stock awards to its outside directors, but 30,000 shares of restricted stock awards granted previously to the outside directors vested. Additionally, the vesting of 32,918 restricted stock units previously granted to employees resulted in the issuance of 24,839 shares of common stock, net of 8,079 shares that were withheld for tax obligations of the grantees, as allowed under the plan. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company granted 70,000 shares of restricted stock awards to its outside directors at a grant date fair value of $8.48 per share and 28,000 shares of restricted stock awards granted previously vested, which were associated with the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the retirement of one of the Company’s directors. Additionally, the vesting of 38,053 shares of restricted stock units previously granted to employees resulted in the issuance of 29,699 shares of common stock, net of 8,354 shares that were withheld for tax obligations of the grantees, as allowed under the plan. Also, the Company granted options to purchase 17,500 shares to an employee with a grant date fair value of $4.64 per share. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company granted 291,443 restricted stock units to employees at a grant date fair value of $3.94 per share, with vesting contingent upon the outcome of the Company’s total shareholder return over a three-year performance period compared to a group of peer companies. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the calculated grant date fair value incorporates the expected outcome of this market condition. Also during the third quarter of 2015, the Company granted 64,763 of time-based restricted stock units to employees at a grant date fair value of $6.52 per share, which vest one-third annually over a three-year period.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 24,000 shares of restricted stock awards to its outside directors at a grant date fair value of $11.58 per share, while 20,000 shares of restricted stock awards granted previously to the outside directors vested. Additionally, the vesting of 44,364 restricted stock units previously granted to employees resulted in the issuance of 32,386 shares of common stock, net of 11,978 shares that were withheld for tax obligations of the grantees, as allowed under the plan. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company granted to certain employees an aggregate of 214,418 restricted stock units and options to purchase an aggregate of 133,866 shares of its common stock with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $10.85 and $6.24 per share, respectively. Of the total restricted stock units granted, 65,381 are subject to forfeiture unless certain performance objectives are achieved. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock awards to an outside director at a grant date fair value of $10.32 per share.

The aggregate fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. No restricted stock or restricted stock units vested during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

16



The Company uses authorized but unissued shares of common stock for stock option exercises and restricted stock issuances pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation plan and treasury stock for issuances outside of the plan. As of September 30, 2015, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock/unit awards was $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company manages economic risk, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risks primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, to a limited extent, the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

On March 16, 2015, the Company entered into a forward-dated interest rate swap to hedge interest rate risk with respect to $40.0 million of borrowings under its Credit Agreement, replacing the previous interest rate swap, which was terminated on March 13,

18


2015 in conjunction with the Second Amendment to its Credit Agreement and resulted in an insignificant gain. The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. Upon inception, the interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and involve 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 September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

See Note 14 for additional information on the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps.

The Company has concluded that the hedging relationship for the interest rate swap is highly effective. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings and included in interest income and other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of income.

Amounts reported in other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. At September 30, 2015, the Company estimates that approximately $0.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase in interest expense over the next twelve months.

Derivative financial agreements expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreements. The Company believes it minimizes the credit risk by transacting with major credit-worthy financial institutions.

11. Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $4.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in continuing operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in continuing operations. For these periods, income tax expense reflects the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate considering the statutory rates in the countries in which the Company operates, adjusted for excludable items, and the effects of valuation allowance changes for certain foreign entities.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes was 45.2% and 41.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 48.3% and 45.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The difference in income tax rates between periods is primarily attributable to changes in the mix of income (loss) before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by a full valuation allowance and those that are not, and differing statutory tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities.

The income tax benefit attributable to discontinued operations was $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was $0.9 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

A reconciliation of the change in the unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is as follows (in thousands):
Balance at December 31, 2014
$
779

Additions based on tax positions of current year

Unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for uncertain tax positions, primarily related to transfer pricing, are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and would impact the effective tax rate for certain foreign jurisdictions if recognized.

The Company incurred no significant interest or penalties for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014 related to underpayments of income taxes or uncertain tax positions.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

The operations of the Company are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions relating to protection of the environment. Although the Company believes its operations are currently in compliance with applicable

20


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 as of both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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 was involved in disputes with a customer, INEOS USA LLC (“INEOS”), which claimed that Furmanite America failed to provide it with satisfactory services at the customer’s facilities. On October 26, 2015, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, disposing of all claims under this matter for $2.1 million. As of September 30, 2015, this settlement payment amount to INEOS had been accrued in full in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 27, 2015, Norfolk County Retirement System (the “Plaintiff”) filed a putative stockholder class and derivative action (the “Action”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) against the then-members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (Sangwoo Ahn, Kathleen Cochran, Kevin Jost, Joseph Milliron and Ralph Patitucci, collectively “the Defendants”), claiming that a certain provision of the Company’s now-expired stockholder rights plan was unenforceable and that the Defendants had breached their fiduciary duties with respect to certain corporate governance matters. Due to certain actions taken by the Company in March 2015, the Plaintiff’s claims became muted. In June 2015, the parties entered into an agreement under which the Company would pay Plaintiff’s counsel $0.3 million in attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the parties requested that the Delaware Court close the Action. On July 6, 2015, the Delaware Court issued an order closing the Action, subject to the Company completing certain actions, which it has done, thereby closing the Action.

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 $2.4 million and $1.9 million, which include the Furmanite America litigation, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. 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.

13. 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.

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 a result of the sale of FTS in September 2015, the operating results of FTS have been reclassified to discontinued operations, as detailed in Note 2. 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.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of the observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard established a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial instruments that required disclosure of their fair values on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments. The interest rate swap asset is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis based on models using inputs, such as interest rate yield curves, LIBOR swap curves and OIS curves, observable for substantially the full term of the contract. See Note 10 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swap. The estimated fair value of all debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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 values of the Company’s financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

The Company provides services to a domestic and international client base that includes petroleum refineries, chemical plants, offshore energy production platforms, steel mills, nuclear and conventional power stations, pulp and paper mills, food and beverage processing plants, other flow process facilities. The Company does not believe that it has a significant concentration of credit risk

23


at September 30, 2015, as the Company’s accounts receivable are generated from these business industries with customers located throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.

15. Related Party Transactions

In April 2015, the Company was notified by its former Chief Executive Officer that, as a result of certain purchases and sales of shares of the Company’s common stock made by the former Chief Executive Officer within a period of less than six months, the former Chief Executive Officer had realized short-swing profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In April 2015, the former Chief Executive Officer made a payment of $18,431.76 to the Company in disgorgement of these short-swing profits.

In an agreement dated May 6, 2015 between the Company and Mustang Capital Management, LLC (“Mustang”) (the “Settlement Agreement”) in conjunction with the appointment of three new directors, including John K. H. Linnartz, the Managing Member of Mustang, to the Company’s Board of Directors, it was agreed that the Company would reimburse Mustang for its documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with the matters related to the 2015 Annual Meeting and the negotiation and execution of the Settlement Agreement, up to $575,000, which was the amount of the reimbursement paid by the Company to Mustang during the second quarter of 2015.

16. Subsequent Event
On November 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Team, Inc. (“Team”) and Team’s wholly owned subsidiary TFA, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) whereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Team. The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of each of the Company and Team. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.215 shares of common stock of Team. The parties’ obligations to complete the Merger are subject to several customary conditions, including, among others, approval of the Merger by the Company’s stockholders and approval of the issuance of Team common stock in the Merger by Team’s stockholders, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals (including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended) and other customary closing conditions. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company or Team, as applicable, will be obligated to (depending on the circumstances of termination) pay a termination fee of $10.0 million or reimburse the other party’s reasonable documented merger-related expenses up to $3.0 million.

FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Furmanite Corporation included in Item 1 of this Report.

Business Overview

Furmanite Corporation (the “Parent Company”), incorporated in 1953, together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Furmanite”) operates in two segments that are based on its service and product offerings: 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 New York Stock Exchange.

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 includes 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 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.

On September 24, 2015, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Furmanite America, Inc. (“Furmanite America”), entered into an asset purchase agreement with Burrow Global, LLC (“Burrow Global”) under which Furmanite America agreed to sell to Burrow Global substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Furmanite Technical Solutions (“FTS”) division of its Engineering & Project Solutions operating segment. Additionally, Burrow Global agreed to assume certain liabilities related to FTS. Included in the sale were the FTS operations in the Beaumont, Texas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Deer Park, Texas; and Freeport, Texas offices, which primarily perform in-office and in-plant engineering and non-destructive testing and inspection work for downstream clients in the Gulf Coast region. The Company has retained the process management inspection component of its Engineering & Project Solutions segment. The Company expects that the sale of FTS will allow the Company to focus on its higher margin specialty services and is intended to further its strategy to drive shareholder value. As a result of the sale, the operating results, assets, liabilities and cash flows attributable to FTS are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On November 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Team, Inc. Refer to the Other Events section on page 35 for additional information.

Financial Overview

Consolidated revenues from continuing operations decreased $10.8 million, or 3.5%, to $296.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, but increased $2.2 million, or 2.4%, to $97.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the prior year periods. Revenues in the Technical Services segment were adversely affected by foreign exchange rate changes, which resulted in unfavorable impacts of $5.2 million and $15.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against most of the functional currencies in the countries in which the Company operates. Excluding the foreign currency impacts for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, decreases in revenues in the EMEA region of the Technical Services segment and, to a lesser extent, the Americas were partially offset by higher revenues in Asia-Pacific. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, excluding the foreign currency impact, revenue increases in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, were partially offset by lower revenues in EMEA. Revenues in the Engineering & Project Solutions operating segment increased during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014, reflecting substantial volume increases in process management inspection services.


25


Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were unfavorably impacted by the aforementioned foreign exchange rate changes and the lower activity within the EMEA region as well as increased Corporate-related professional fees and other costs associated with the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. These factors were partially offset by improved performance in the Engineering & Project Solutions segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The net effect of these factors resulted in operating income of $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to operating income of $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $3.1 million, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2014. The improvement for the quarter reflects lower corporate-related expenses and higher operating income in the Engineering & Project solutions segment, partially offset by the effect of lower operating results in the Technical Services segment.

Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $5.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.19 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, while income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, reflects the operating results and disposal of the Company’s FTS division. The loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, for nine months ended September 30, 2014. The loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $0.1 million, or less than $0.01 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increased loss from discontinued operations is primarily due to exit costs and the loss on disposal of FTS in 2015 combined with year-over-year differences in operating losses attributable to FTS.

The combined effect of income from continuing operations and the loss from discontinued operations resulted in net income of $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $6.6 million, or $0.17 per share, for the same period in 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, net income was $0.2 million, or less than $0.01 per share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.03 per share for the same period in 2014.

Geographical areas, based on physical location, are the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. The following discussion and analysis, as it relates to segment and geographic information, excludes discontinued operations, intercompany transactions and allocation of headquarter costs.

Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, consolidated revenues decreased by $10.8 million, or 3.5%, to $296.5 million, compared to $307.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in revenues resulted from lower revenues in the Technical Services segment, which decreased $20.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, but was partially offset by higher Engineering & Project Solutions revenues, which increased $9.7 million compared to the same period in 2014. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted revenues by $15.4 million, of which $8.9 million, $6.1 million and $0.4 million were related to unfavorable impacts in EMEA, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues within Technical Services decreased by $5.1 million, or 1.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. This $5.1 million decrease in revenues consisted of decreases of $7.1 million and $3.0 million in EMEA and the Americas, respectively, but was partially offset by an increase of $5.0 million in Asia-Pacific. In EMEA, the decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to decreases within on-line services, which decreased in volume by approximately 19%, and was primarily attributable to volume decreases in leak sealing and line isolation services, partially offset by volume increases in line stopping services. The decrease in revenues is a result of several large projects that were completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which did not recur during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In the Americas, the decrease in revenues consisted of volume decreases in off-line services, largely offset by volume increases in on-line services. The lower revenues from off-line services, which decreased in volume by approximately 17%, were primarily attributable to lower valve repair and on-site machining services. The increase in on-line services, which increased in volume by approximately 17%, was primarily due to higher revenues from non-destructive testing and inspection, hot tapping and line stopping services, partially offset by decreases in leak sealing service work. The higher revenues in Asia-Pacific were primarily attributable to volume increases in off-line services of approximately 23%, compared to the same period in 2014, of which substantially all related to higher on-site machining service revenues. The increase primarily related to certain large projects and increased activity levels with certain larger customers.

Revenues from the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, substantially all of which relate to the Americas, were $37.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $27.5 million for the same period in 2014. Essentially all of the increase in revenues is attributable to volume increases in process management inspection service work.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, consolidated revenues increased by $2.2 million, or 2.4%, to $97.4 million, compared to $95.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher revenues in the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, which increased $6.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, but was partially offset by lower revenues within Technical Services, which decreased $3.8 million compared to the same period in 2014. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted revenues by $5.2 million, of which $2.7 million, $2.4 million and $0.1 million were related to unfavorable impacts in Asia-Pacific, EMEA and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues within Technical Services increased by $1.4 million, or 1.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. This $1.4 million increase in revenues consisted of increases of $1.7 million and $1.1 million in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively, but was partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in EMEA. In the Americas, the increase in revenues consisted primarily of volume increases in on-line services partially offset by volume decreases in off-line services and, to a lesser extent, other services. The higher revenues from on-line services, which reflect an increase in volume of approximately 23% compared to same period in 2014, were attributable to higher non-destructive testing and inspection service revenues as well as increases in hot tapping and leak sealing services. The lower revenues from off-line services primarily reflected lower on-site machining and valve repair service revenues, which together represented approximately 85% of the decrease in off-line services. The higher revenues in Asia-Pacific were primarily attributable to volume increases in off-line services, which represented over 70% of the increase in revenues, and primarily reflected higher revenues from on-site machining and valve repair services, largely offset by decreases in bolting service revenues. In EMEA, the decreases in revenues were primarily attributable to certain larger projects during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that did not recur in the current-year period.

Revenues from the Engineering & Project Solutions segment were $15.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2014. Essentially all of the increase in revenues is attributable to volume increases in process management inspection services.

Operating Costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, operating costs decreased $5.4 million, or 2.5%, to $212.1 million, compared to $217.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was attributable to lower operating costs of $13.1 million for the Technical Services segment, partially offset by higher operating costs of $7.7 million for the Engineering & Project Solutions segment. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $11.0 million, of which $6.4 million, $4.3 million and $0.3 million were related to favorable impacts from EMEA, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs within Technical Services decreased $2.1 million, or 1.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. This change consisted of decreases of $4.1 million and $1.6 million for EMEA and the Americas regions, respectively, partially offset by increases of $3.6 million in Asia-Pacific. In EMEA, the decrease in operating costs was primarily related to lower labor costs consistent with the lower revenues. The decrease in operating costs in the Americas was consistent with the lower revenues and was primarily attributable to lower equipment and material costs, partially offset by higher labor costs, reflecting a change in the mix of service work between periods. The increase in operating costs in Asia-Pacific was primarily attributable to higher labor costs, consistent with the higher revenues. The increase in operating costs for Engineering & Project Solutions for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 also reflects increases in labor and related costs associated with the higher activity levels.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, operating costs increased $3.7 million, or 5.4%, to $71.8 million, compared to $68.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was attributable to higher operating costs of $5.3 million for the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, but was partially offset by lower Technical Services operating costs, which decreased $1.6 million. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $3.7 million, of which $1.9 million, $1.7 million and $0.1 million were related to favorable impacts from Asia-Pacific, EMEA and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs within Technical Services increased $2.1 million, or 3.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. This change consisted of increases of $1.8 million and $1.2 million in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in EMEA. The increase in operating costs in the Americas was consistent with the higher revenues and was primarily attributable to higher labor and travel costs, partially offset by lower material and equipment-related costs, reflecting a change in the mix of service work. The increase in operating costs in Asia-Pacific was primarily attributable to higher labor costs, consistent with the higher revenues. In EMEA, approximately 88% of the decrease in operating costs was related to lower labor costs with the remainder primarily attributable to lower material costs, consistent with the lower revenues. The increase in operating costs for Engineering & Project Solutions for the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily reflects increases in labor and related costs associated with the higher activity levels.

For the Technical Services segment, operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 70.5% and 68.7% from 69.3% and 68.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the percentage of operating costs to revenues for this segment was slightly higher compared to the prior-year periods, reflecting somewhat lower margins due to changes in the mix of service work across all regions. For the Engineering & Project Solutions segment, operating costs as a percentage of revenues decreased to 90.5% and 91.0% from 92.6% and 95.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decreases primarily relate to the higher revenues, driving improved labor utilization. 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. As a result, overall operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 73.7% and 71.5% from 71.6% and 70.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, depreciation and amortization expense was largely consistent with the same period in 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.3 million when compared to the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of an increase in the average balance of depreciable property and equipment associated with capital expenditures of approximately $8.7 million placed in service over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2015, partially offset by favorable impacts of foreign currency exchange rates. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted depreciation and amortization expense by $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 5.2%, to $63.7 million, compared to $67.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease consisted of $6.5 million related to the Technical Services segment, partially offset by increases of $2.8 million associated with Corporate expenses, which are not allocated to the segments, and $0.2 million related to the Engineering & Project Solutions segment. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $2.8 million, of which $1.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.1 million were related to favorable impacts in EMEA, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, the decrease in selling, general and administrative costs within Technical Services consisted of decreases of $4.9 million in the Americas, partially offset by increases of $0.8 million and $0.4 million in Asia-Pacific and EMEA, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense in the Americas was primarily attributable to lower personnel costs and travel expenses, including the movement of certain personnel to Corporate, when compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense in Asia-Pacific was primarily associated with higher personnel and travel related expenses, while the increase in EMEA was attributable to higher personnel related expenses and certain provisions, partially offset by certain insurance-related benefits. The increase in Corporate was primarily attributable to approximately $2.2 million of non-routine incremental professional fees and other costs incurred related to the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as well as higher personnel and related costs, reflecting the movement of certain personnel, previously reflected primarily in the Americas region of the Technical Services segment, to Corporate. Partially offsetting these increases was the year-over-year effect of approximately $0.9 million of incremental compensation expenses pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, for which no similar costs were incurred in current-year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Engineering & Project Solutions segment increased slightly, however are improved as a percentage of revenues due to the increased activity in the segment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.1 million, or 9.8%, to $19.6 million, compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease consisted of $1.3 million related to Corporate and $0.9 million related to the Technical Services segment, partially offset by increases of $0.1 million related to the Engineering & Project Solutions segment. Within Technical Services, changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $1.0 million, of which $0.6 million and $0.4 million were related to favorable impacts in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, the increase in selling, general and administrative costs within Technical Services consisted of increases of $0.2 million in Asia-Pacific, partially offset by decreases of $0.1 million in EMEA. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense in Asia-Pacific was primarily associated with higher personnel costs, while the decrease in EMEA reflected certain insurance-related benefits, largely offset by certain provisions and higher personnel costs. The decrease in Corporate primarily reflects the year-over-year effect of approximately $0.9 million of incremental compensation expenses pursuant to the provisions of a retirement agreement with a Company executive incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2014, for which no similar costs were incurred in current-year period, and, to a lesser extent, lower professional fees.
Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased to 21.5% from 21.9% for the same period in 2014, primarily reflecting positive impacts of cost containment measures and efficiency improvements overshadowing the effect of the lower overall revenues. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to 20.1% from 22.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was principally a result of the lower Corporate costs combined with the higher revenues.

Other Income

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest income and other income (expense) changed unfavorably by $0.5 million, when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to increased foreign currency exchange losses, primarily as a result of an overall weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 interest income and other income (expense) was consistent with the same period in 2014.

Interest Expense

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, consolidated interest expense was comparable to the same period in 2014 as the write off of debt issuance costs in conjunction with an amendment to the Company’s credit facility during the first quarter of 2015

32


and the effect of additional borrowings on the Company’s credit facility was essentially offset by the benefit of lower average balances on acquisition-related notes payable and lower interest rates. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, consolidated interest expense decreased by $0.1 million compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a decrease to the interest rate on borrowings outstanding and lower average balances on acquisition-related notes payable, partially offset by the effect of additional borrowings on the Company’s credit facility.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $4.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in continuing operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded tax expense of $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in continuing operations. For these periods, the income tax expense reflects the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate considering the statutory rates in the countries in which the Company operates, adjusted for excludable items, and the effects of valuation allowance changes for certain foreign entities.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes was 45.2% and 41.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and 48.3% and 45.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The difference in income tax rates between periods is primarily attributable to changes in the mix of income (loss) before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by a full valuation allowance and those that are not, and differing statutory tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities.

Discontinued Operations

The loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increased loss from discontinued operations, quantified on a pre-tax basis, primarily reflects $1.2 million of exit costs and the loss on the sale of FTS of $0.4 million incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, partially offset by a slight decrease in the loss from the operations of FTS compared to the same period in 2014. The income tax benefit attributable to discontinued operations increased to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $0.5 million for the same period in 2014, primarily due to the higher pre-tax loss from discontinued operations.

The loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increased loss from discontinued operations, quantified on a pre-tax basis, primarily reflects $1.2 million of exit costs and the loss on the sale of FTS of $0.4 million incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as well as $0.6 million in higher losses from the operations of FTS. The income tax benefit attributable to discontinued operations increased to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $0.1 million for the same period in 2014, primarily due to the higher pre-tax loss from discontinued operations.

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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased to $3.6 million from $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease resulted primarily from changes in working capital requirements, primarily associated with accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, which decreased cash flows by approximately $11.4 million and $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and to a lesser extent, the lower income from continuing operations. For discontinued operations, net cash used in operating activities was $28 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $4.7 million for the same period in 2014. The variation is largely due to changes in working capital requirements, primarily reflecting changes in accounts receivable attributable to the FTS division.

Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations increased to $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which was due primarily to the timing of expenditure payments. For discontinued operations, net cash provided by investing activities was $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, reflecting the proceeds received from the sale of Company’s FTS division in September 2015, while net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting capital expenditures attributable to the FTS division.


33


Consolidated capital expenditures for the calendar year 2015 were initially budgeted at approximately $20.0 million; however, based on current projections, the Company does not expect capital expenditures to exceed $16.0 million. Such expenditures, however, will depend on many factors beyond the Company’s control, including, without limitation, demand for services as well as domestic and foreign government regulations. No assurance can be given that required capital expenditures will not exceed or be less than anticipated amounts during 2015 or thereafter. Capital expenditures for the remainder of the year are expected to be funded from existing cash and anticipated cash flows from operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The variation primarily reflects additional net borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility of $9.6 million, partially offset by increased principal payments on notes payable, which were attributable to the April 2015 settlement agreement with ENGlobal, as discussed below. Financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included $4.0 million of principal payments on acquisition-related notes payable, compared with $0.9 million in the same period in 2014.

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.

On March 13, 2015, 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 second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the credit agreement dated March 5, 2012 with a syndicate of banks (collectively, the “Lenders”) previously led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). Under the Second Amendment, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is the successor Administrative Agent, replacing JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Second Amendment includes several modifications, including increasing the revolving credit facility capacity to $150.0 million from $100.0 million, extending the maturity date to March 13, 2020 from February 28, 2017, reducing the ranges for the commitment fee and margin that is added to the applicable variable interest rate and the easing of certain covenants and restrictive terms. The Second Amendment also reflects changes in the composition of the Lenders and their respective commitment amounts. The portion of the amount available for swing line loans to FWI is $10.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The loans outstanding to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers under the Credit Agreement may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $68.9 million and $59.3 million, respectively, 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 1.5% at September 30, 2015. 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. On March 16, 2015, 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 1.99% plus the margin and Leverage Ratio adjustment, as described above, beginning March 13, 2016 through March 13, 2020 on $40.0 million of the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement. This interest rate swap replaces the previous swap, which was terminated in March 2015 in conjunction with the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement. See Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the interest rate swaps. The Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges from 0.15% to 0.30% based on the Leverage Ratio (0.20% at September 30, 2015), and is based on the unused portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets (which approximated $202.2 million as of September 30, 2015). 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 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing four-quarters basis, (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage

34


Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00, defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures minus cash taxes minus Restricted Payments made in cash (i.e., all dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock, sinking funds or similar deposits on account thereof or other returns of capital, redemption or repurchases of equity interests, and any payments to the Parent Company or its subsidiaries (other than FWI and its subsidiaries)) / interest expense plus scheduled payments of debt, 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, however certain restrictions are only applicable in instances where the Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.00 to 1.00. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants or breach of representations and warranties. At September 30, 2015, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Considering the outstanding borrowings of $68.9 million and $7.7 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $73.4 million at September 30, 2015.

On January 1, 2013, in connection with an asset purchase from ENGlobal, the Company issued a $1.9 million promissory note, which bore interest at 5.0% per annum. On August 30, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of the assets of ENGlobal’s Engineering & Construction segment, the Company issued a $3.0 million promissory note, which bore interest at 4.0% per annum. These notes were originally to be due in four equal annual installments; however, in accordance with the settlement agreement with ENGlobal discussed below, the Company settled the remaining principal balances on both notes, totaling $4.4 million, in April 2015.

On April 21, 2015, Furmanite America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a settlement agreement with ENGlobal (the “Agreement”) to resolve the determination of the final working capital adjustment associated with the Company’s August 2013 acquisition from ENGlobal. Additionally, the Agreement resolves certain other claims and disputes of the parties associated with this acquisition as well as a smaller acquisition the Company completed in January 2013. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company made cash payments to ENGlobal of $3.6 million in April 2015, reflecting the settlement of $4.4 million remaining principal amount on two acquisition-related notes payable, partially offset by $0.8 million of net credits related to accrued interest and the final settlement of reimbursable items and working capital balances. The Company realized a gain of $0.1 million in connection with the Agreement.

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.

Other Events

Proposed Merger with Team, Inc.
On November 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Team, Inc. (“Team”) and Team’s wholly owned subsidiary TFA, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) whereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Team. The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of each of the Company and Team. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.215 shares of common stock of Team. The parties’ obligations to complete the Merger are subject to several customary conditions, including, among others, approval of the Merger by the Company’s stockholders and approval of the issuance of Team common stock in the Merger by Team’s stockholders, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals (including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended) and other customary closing conditions. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company or Team, as applicable, will be obligated to (depending on the circumstances of termination) pay a termination fee of $10.0 million or reimburse the other party’s reasonable documented merger-related expenses up to $3.0 million.

2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

On May 6, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Mustang Capital Management, LLC (“Mustang Capital”) with respect to the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). In conjunction with the Settlement Agreement, the Company expanded the size of the Board from five to seven and added three new independent directors to the Board to fill the vacancies for the two added seats and for the retirement of an incumbent director. These new directors, along with the four incumbent members of the Board, were all elected at the Furmanite 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 30, 2015. The Settlement Agreement contains various other terms and provisions, including the mutual release of certain claims, the grant of restricted stock awards to both the new and incumbent directors and Company reimbursement of Mustang Capital’s expenses related to the Annual Meeting, not to exceed $575,000, which was the amount of the reimbursement paid to Mustang during the second quarter of 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant policies are presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. These policies require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes and defined benefit pension plans. Critical accounting policies are discussed regularly, at least quarterly, with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recorded in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, when realized or realizable, and earned.

Revenues are recognized 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 either of the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Credit is extended to customers based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and generally collateral is not required. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company regularly evaluates and adjusts accounts receivable as doubtful based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis and information available on specific accounts. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. Any payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance in the period the payment is received.

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

36


amortized over their useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.

Goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually (in the fourth quarter of each calendar year), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or a loss of key personnel.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value in each of its two reporting units, therefore no impairment was indicated. Additionally, no changes in circumstances have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that would warrant an additional impairment test in the current period. At each of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, goodwill of continuing operations totaled $15.6 million, all of which is associated with the Technical Services operating segment.

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.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. Uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions would not impact the effective foreign tax rate because unrecognized non-current tax benefits are offset by the foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which are fully reserved. The Company recognizes interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized non-current tax benefits as part of the income tax provision.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. These rates are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined based on reference to yields. The expected return on plan assets is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review of asset allocation strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality and retirement rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation in future periods. While the Company believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the pension obligation and future expense.

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 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. The provisions of the new guidance were originally to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date by one year to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. The ASU does not provide an option for early adoption, but as set forth in ASU 2015-14, entities are permitted to early adopt the new guidance using the original effective date in ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation 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 does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-02 to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in the ASU change the balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs by requiring them to be presented as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Transitioning to the new guidance requires retrospective application. However, in August 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting), which codifies certain SEC Staff views on the presentation of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC Staff has stated that it will not object to the presentation of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements as assets, regardless of whether any borrowings are outstanding. Currently, all of the Company’s debt issuance costs pertain to its line-of-credit arrangement; therefore, the Company intends to continue recording these unamortized costs as assets rather than using the approach set forth in ASU No. 2015-03. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15 to have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments in the ASU require entities that measure inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value to more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal. ASU No. 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014, or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company does not operate or conduct business in hyper-inflationary countries nor enter into long-term supply contracts that may impact margins due to inflation. Changes in prices of goods and services are reflected on proposals, bids or quotes submitted to customers.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s principal market risk exposures (i.e., the risk of loss arising from the adverse changes in market rates and prices) are to changes in interest rates on the Company’s debt and investment portfolios and fluctuations in foreign currency.

The Company centrally manages its debt, considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing strategies. Based on the amount of variable rate debt, $68.9 million at September 30, 2015, an increase in interest rates by one hundred basis points would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.7 million. On March 16, 2015, the Company entered into a forward-dated interest rate swap to mitigate the risk of change in the variable interest rate on $40.0 million of the outstanding debt beginning March 13, 2016 through March 13, 2020, replacing the previous interest rate swap, which was terminated on March 13, 2015 in conjunction with the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement. For more information on these swaps, see Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

A significant portion of the Company’s business is exposed to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies as a result of the foreign operations of the Company in Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Foreign currency exchange rate changes, primarily the Australian dollar, British Pound, the Euro and Norwegian krone relative to the U.S. dollar resulted in an unfavorable impact on the Company’s U.S. dollar reported revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The revenue impact was somewhat mitigated by similar exchange effects on operating costs, thereby reducing the exchange rate effect on operating income. The Company does not currently use foreign currency rate hedges.

Based on the nine months ended September 30, 2015, foreign currency-based revenues and operating income of $99.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, a ten percent depreciation in all applicable foreign currencies would result in a decrease in revenues of $9.0 million and a reduction in operating income of $0.9 million.
 
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated, as required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2015. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART II — Other Information
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

Furmanite America, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, was involved in disputes with a customer, INEOS USA LLC (“INEOS”), which claimed that the subsidiary failed to provide it with satisfactory services at the customer’s facilities. On October 26, 2015, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, disposing of all claims under this matter for $2.1 million. As of September 30, 2015, this settlement payment amount to INEOS had been accrued in full in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 27, 2015, Norfolk County Retirement System (the “Plaintiff”) filed a putative stockholder class and derivative action (the “Action”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) against the then-members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (Sangwoo Ahn, Kathleen Cochran, Kevin Jost, Joseph Milliron and Ralph Patitucci, collectively “the Defendants”), claiming that a certain provision of the Company’s now-expired stockholder rights plan was unenforceable and that the Defendants had breached their fiduciary duties with respect to certain corporate governance matters. Due to certain actions taken by the Company in March 2015, the Plaintiff’s claims became muted. In June 2015, the parties entered into an agreement under which the Company would pay Plaintiff’s counsel $0.3 million in attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the parties requested that the Delaware Court close the Action. On July 6, 2015, the Delaware Court issued an order closing the Action, subject to the Company completing certain actions, which it has done, thereby closing the Action.

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 $2.4 million and $1.9 million, which include the Furmanite America, Inc. litigation, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. 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.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

The following should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Failure to complete or delays in completing the proposed merger with Team, Inc. could have an adverse impact on the Company’s stock price and its business.

On November 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Team, Inc. (“Team”) and its wholly owned subsidiary TFA, Inc (“Merger Sub”) whereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Team. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals (including expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended), and approval by the Company’s stockholders and approval of the issuance of Team common stock in the Merger by Team’s stockholders. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfactorily met or waived, as applicable, that the necessary approvals will be obtained or that the Company and Team will be able to successfully consummate the Merger as provided for under the Merger Agreement, or at all.

The Company faces risks and uncertainties due both to the pendency of the Merger as well as the potential failure to consummate the Merger, including:
The Company remains liable for significant transaction costs, including legal, financial advisory, accounting and other costs relating to the Merger even if it is not consummated;
The attention of the Company’s management and employees may be diverted from day-to-day operations;
The Company may encounter difficulties in attracting and retaining employees, who may be uncertain about their future roles;
The pendency of the Merger could have an adverse impact on the Company’s relationships with customers and suppliers. Further, prospective customers or other third parties may delay or decline to do business with the Company as a result of the announcement of the proposed Merger and the related uncertainties;
To the extent the trading price of the Company’s common stock reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed, the Company’s stock price could be adversely impacted if the Merger does not take place; and
If the Merger Agreement is terminated before the Company completes the Merger, under some circumstances, the Company may have to pay a termination fee to Team of $10.0 million or reimburse Team for its merger-related expenses of up to $3.0 million.

There can be no assurance that these risks will not materialize. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and its stock price.

The Merger Agreement restricts the Company’s ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that prohibit the Company from soliciting alternative acquisition proposals or offers for a competing transaction. Further, in certain circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated because the Company’s board of directors changes its recommendation in favor of the Merger or because of certain breaches of these non-solicitation provisions, the Company will be required to pay a termination fee to Team of $10.0 million. This obligation may discourage a third party that has an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of the Company’s business from considering or proposing such acquisition.
