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. 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, 2012

(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, 2011 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Revenue Recognition

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

Revenues are recognized using the completed-contract method, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax. Substantially all projects are short term in nature; however, the Company occasionally enters into contracts that are longer in duration that represent multiple element arrangements, which include a combination of services and products. The Company separates deliverables into units of accounting based on whether the deliverables have standalone value to the customer. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price generally determined using vendor specific objective evidence. Revenues are recognized for the separate units of accounting when services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered and risk of ownership has passed to the customer. The Company provides limited warranties to customers, depending upon the service performed. Warranty claim costs were immaterial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Inventories

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

Operating Costs

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

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

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

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 further tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These balances are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the year(s) in which these temporary difference 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 provides an update to ASU 2011-05, which updated existing guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date for presentation of reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income. The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. In this update, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity is then required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Subtopic 350-30. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then no further action is required. The Company will consider this guidance as it completes its annual impairment evaluation but does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions

Houston Service Center

On June 29, 2012, Furmanite America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into and consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire certain assets, including inventory, equipment and intangible assets, all of which relate to operations in the Americas, of the Houston Service Center (“HSC”) of MCC Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Crane Energy Flow Solutions, for total cash consideration of $9.3 million. HSC provides valve and actuator repair, maintenance and testing services to customers in the refining, petrochemical and power industries. In connection with the acquisition, the Company borrowed an additional $9.3 million from its existing revolving credit facility.

Self Leveling Machines, Inc. and Self Levelling Machines Pty. Ltd.

On February 23, 2011, Furmanite Worldwide, Inc. (“FWI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Self Leveling Machines, Inc., and a subsidiary of FWI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the material operating and intangible assets of Self Levelling Machines Pty. Ltd. (collectively, “SLM”) for total consideration of $8.9 million, net of cash acquired of $1.2 million, of which approximately $4.7 million relates to the Americas and the balance relates to Asia-Pacific. SLM provides large scale on-site machining, which includes engineering, fabrication and execution of highly-specialized machining solutions for large-scale equipment or operations. FWI funded the cost of the acquisition with $5.0 million in cash and by issuing notes payable (the “Notes”) to the sellers’ equity holders for $5.1 million.

3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated as net income (loss) 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 and undistributed earnings. As participating securities, the shares of restricted stock are included in the calculation of basic EPS using the two-class method. Diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes issuance of the net incremental shares from stock options and restricted stock units when dilutive. The weighted-average common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) 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 (loss) per share include the following (in thousands, except per share data):

5. Restructuring

The Company committed to certain cost reduction initiatives during the first half of 2010 and the second quarter of 2012, which include planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses relative to revenues.

2010 Cost Reduction Initiative

The Company committed to a cost reduction initiative in the second quarter of 2010 (the “2010 Cost Reduction Initiative”) primarily related to the restructuring of certain functions within the Company’s EMEA operations (which includes operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) in order to improve the operational and administrative efficiency of its EMEA operations. The total restructuring costs estimated to be incurred in connection with the 2010 Cost Reduction Initiative are $4.0 million. As of September 30, 2012, total costs incurred since the inception of this initiative were approximately $3.8 million, with the remaining $0.2 million primarily related to lease termination costs.

Minimal restructuring costs related to this initiative were incurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

2012 Cost Reduction Initiative

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company committed to an additional cost reduction initiative (the “2012 Cost Reduction Initiative”) related to further restructuring of its European operations within EMEA. This restructuring initiative includes additional workforce reductions primarily within the Company’s selling, general and administrative functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to further reduce administrative and overhead expenses and streamline its European operations’ structure for improved operational efficiencies in the wake of the challenging economic conditions in the region. The Company now estimates the total costs to be incurred in connection with this initiative to be approximately $2.7 million, which primarily relate to one-time termination benefits, and all of which will result in future cash expenditures. As of September 30, 2012, the costs incurred since the inception of this cost reduction initiative totaled approximately $0.8 million.

Credit Facilities

On March 5, 2012, certain foreign subsidiaries of FWI (the “designated borrowers”) and FWI entered into a new credit agreement dated March 5, 2012 with a banking syndicate led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement, which matures on February 28, 2017, provides a revolving credit facility of up to $75.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the New Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. In addition, a portion of the amount available under the New Credit Agreement (not in excess of $7.5 million in the aggregate) is available for swing line loans to FWI. The loans outstanding to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers under the New Credit Agreement may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.

The proceeds from the initial borrowing on the New Credit Agreement were $30.0 million and were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement, which was scheduled to mature in January 2013, at which time the Previous Credit Agreement was terminated by the Company. Letters of credit issued under the Previous Credit Agreement were replaced with similar letters of credit under the New Credit Agreement. There were no material circumstances surrounding the termination of the Previous Credit Agreement and no material early termination penalties were incurred by the Company.

On June 29, 2012, FWI borrowed an additional $9.3 million under its New Credit Agreement to fund the purchase of HSC. As of September 30, 2012, $39.3 million was outstanding under the New Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the New 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 New Credit Agreement)), which was 2.0% at September 30, 2012. The New Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.30% based on the Leverage Ratio (0.25% at September 30, 2012), and is based on the unused portion of the amount available under the New Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash expenses minus income tax credits and non-cash items increasing net income (loss) as defined in the New Credit Agreement. All obligations under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets (which approximates $141.9 million as of September 30, 2012). The Parent Company has granted a security interest in its stock of FWI as collateral security for the lenders under the New Credit Agreement, but is not a party to the New Credit Agreement.

The New Credit Agreement includes financial covenants, which require that the Company maintain: (i) a Leverage Ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing four-quarters basis, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00, defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures / interest plus cash taxes plus scheduled payments of debt plus Restricted Payments made (i.e. all dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock, sinking funds or similar deposits on account thereof or other returns of capital, redemption or repurchases of equity interests, and any payments to Parent or its subsidiaries (other than FWI and its subsidiaries)), and (iii) a minimum asset coverage of at least 1.50 to 1.00, defined as cash plus net accounts receivable plus net inventory plus net property, plant and equipment of FWI and its material subsidiaries that are subject to a first priority perfected lien in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders / Funded Debt. FWI is also subject to certain other compliance provisions including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, guarantees, dividends and other contingent obligations and transactions. Events of default under the New Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants and breach of representations and warranties. At September 30, 2012, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the New Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

Considering the outstanding borrowings of $39.3 million, and $1.7 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the New Credit Agreement was $34.0 million at September 30, 2012.

In 2009, FWI and certain foreign subsidiaries of FWI entered into a credit agreement dated July 31, 2009 with a banking syndicate comprising Bank of America, N.A. and Compass Bank (the “Previous Credit Agreement”). The Previous Credit Agreement provided a revolving credit facility of up to $50.0 million, with a portion of the amount available under the Previous Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) available for the issuance of letters of credit. In addition, a portion of the amount available under the Previous Credit Agreement (not in excess of $5.0 million in the aggregate) was available for swing line loans to FWI.

At December 31, 2011, $30.0 million was outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Previous Credit Agreement bore 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 were subject to an adjustment based on a calculated funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio), which was 2.3% at December 31, 2011. The Previous Credit Agreement also contained a commitment fee, which ranged between 0.25% to 0.30% based on the funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, and was 0.25% at December 31, 2011, based on the unused portion of the amount available under the Previous Credit Agreement.

Notes Payable

In connection with the acquisition of SLM, on February 23, 2011, FWI entered into a consent and waiver agreement as it related to the Previous Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the consent and waiver agreement, Bank of America, N.A. and Compass Bank consented to the SLM acquisition and waived any default or event of default for certain debt covenants that would arise as a result of the SLM acquisition. FWI funded the cost of the acquisition with $5.0 million in cash and by issuing notes to the sellers’ equity holders (the “Notes”) for $5.1 million ($2.9 million denominated in U.S. dollars and $2.2 million denominated in Australian dollars) payable in installments, through February 23, 2013. All obligations under the Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the assets acquired in the acquisition. Upon full settlement of the Notes and release of the lien by the sellers’ equity holders, the acquired assets will become assets secured under the New Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $2.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively, was outstanding under the Notes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.5% per annum.

7. Retirement Plans

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

Net periodic pension cost for the U.K. and Norwegian Plans includes the following components (in thousands):

The expected long-term rate of return on invested assets is determined based on the weighted average of expected returns on asset investment categories as follows: 5.3% overall, 6.5% for equities and 3.4% for bonds. Estimated annual pension plan contributions are assumed to be consistent with the current expected contribution level of $1.0 million for 2012.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock option 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, 2012, the total compensation cost charged against income and included in selling, general and administrative expenses for stock-based compensation arrangement was $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included $0.1 million associated with the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the retirement of one of the Company’s directors.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company granted 154,718 restricted stock units to certain employees with a grant date fair market value of $6.99 per share. The Company also granted 40,000 shares of restricted stock to its directors at a grant date fair value of $6.99 per share during the first quarter of 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company granted options to an employee to purchase 30,000 shares of its common stock with a grant date fair market value of $4.77 per share. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company granted to certain employees 402,469 restricted stock units and options to purchase 801,658 shares of its common stock with a grant date fair market value of $4.63 per share. These restricted stock units and stock options are related to the Company’s Long-Term Equity Reward Program and are subject to forfeiture unless certain performance objectives are achieved. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company granted options to an employee to purchase 17,500 shares of its common stock with a grant date fair market value of $4.47 per share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted options to certain employees to purchase 70,000 shares of its common stock with a grant date fair market value of $4.15 per share and 95,841 restricted stock units with a grant date fair market value of $7.46 per share.

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, 2012, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards was $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

10. Income Taxes

Income tax expense reflects the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted in interim periods for specific discrete items as required, considering the statutory rates in the countries in which the Company operates and the effects of valuation allowance changes for certain foreign entities. At the end of 2011, it was determined that the net deferred tax assets in the United States were expected to be realized and accordingly the valuation allowance on federal and state deferred tax assets was reversed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, substantially all domestic federal income taxes, as well as certain state and foreign income taxes, were fully offset by a corresponding change in the valuation allowance. Income tax expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of income tax expense in foreign and certain state jurisdictions in which the Company operates, with the nine months ended September 30, 2011 partially offset by a valuation allowance change resulting in a deferred tax benefit of $1.2 million related to the SLM acquisition.

 

16


Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Current year income tax expense as a percent of income (loss) before income taxes was abnormally inflated as a result of a significantly high percentage of pre-tax losses in countries with valuation allowances compounded by the impact of the restructuring initiative, as compared to pre-tax income in other countries. As a result, income tax expense of $0.2 million was incurred despite a pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012, while income tax expense as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes was approximately 112.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The 2012 estimated annual effective income tax rate for countries without valuation allowances on their deferred tax assets is approximately 36.4%. This effective rate differs slightly from the U.S. statutory rate as domestic state taxes and other nondeductible expenses are substantially offset by lower statutory tax rates in other countries in which the Company operates.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was approximately 27.2% and 15.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Excluding the $1.2 million acquisition related deferred tax benefit noted above, the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 23.6%. The additional difference in the 2011 income tax rates from the U.S. statutory rate is primarily related to the full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets, as the reversal of the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets did not occur until the fourth quarter of 2011, as well as changes in the mix of income before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by full valuation allowances and those that are not, and differing statutory tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

A reconciliation of the change in the unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

 

Balance at December 31, 2011

   $  1,053   

Additions based on tax positions

     138   

Reductions due to lapses of statutes of limitations

     —     
  

 

 

 

Balance at September 30, 2012

   $ 1,191   
  

 

 

 

Unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for uncertain tax positions 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, 2012 or 2011 related to underpayments of income taxes or uncertain tax positions.

11. 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 locations relating to protection of the environment. Although the Company believes its operations are in compliance with applicable environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the Company. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from operations of the Company, could result in costs and liabilities to the Company. The Company has recorded, in other liabilities, an undiscounted reserve for environmental liabilities related to the remediation of site contamination for properties in the U.S. in the amount of $0.9 million and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. While there is a reasonable possibility due to the inherent nature of environmental liabilities that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts would be material to its financial statements.

On September 19, 2011, John Daugherty filed a derivative shareholder petition in the County Court at Law No. 3, Dallas County, Texas, on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers (collectively “the defendants”) and naming the Company as a nominal party. The petition alleges the named directors and officers breached their fiduciary responsibilities in regard to certain internal control matters. The petitioner requests that the defendants pay unspecified damages to the Company. On October 31, 2011, the defendants filed their answer in the lawsuit as well as motions to dismiss it. The defendants have informed the Company that they believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Furmanite America, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, is involved in disputes with a customer, INEOS USA LLC, which has been negotiating with a governmental regulatory agency and claims that the subsidiary failed to provide it with satisfactory services at the customer’s facilities. On April 17, 2009, the customer initiated legal action against the subsidiary in the Common Pleas Court of Allen County, Ohio, alleging that the subsidiary and one of its former employees, who performed data services at one of the customer’s facilities, breached its contract with the customer and failed to provide the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facility from 1998 through the second quarter of 2005. The customer’s complaint seeks damages in an amount that the subsidiary believes represents the total proposed civil penalty, plus the cost of unspecified supplemental environmental projects requested by the regulatory agency to reduce air emissions at the customer’s facility, and also seeks unspecified punitive damages. The subsidiary believes that it provided the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facilities and will vigorously defend against the customer’s claim.

While the Company cannot make an assessment of the eventual outcome of all of these matters or determine the extent, if any, of any potential uninsured liability or damage, reserves of $1.0 million and $1.3 million, which include the Furmanite America, Inc. litigation, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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.

12. Business Segment Data and Geographical Information

The Company provides specialized technical services to an international client 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.

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 operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. For financial reporting purposes, the Company operates in three segments which comprise the Company’s three geographical areas: the Americas (which includes operations in North America, South America and Latin America), EMEA and Asia-Pacific.

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). 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.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk

Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820-10”), 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 820-10 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 Company currently does not have any assets or liabilities that would require valuation under ASC 820-10, except for pension assets. The Company does not have any derivatives or marketable securities. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of all debt as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 approximated the carrying value as the majority of the Company’s debt fluctuates at market rates.

The Company provides services to an international client base that includes petroleum refineries, chemical plants, offshore energy production platforms, steel mills, nuclear power stations, conventional power stations, pulp and paper mills, food and beverage processing plants, other flow process facilities. The Company does not believe that it has a significant concentration of credit risk at September 30, 2012, as the Company’s accounts receivable are generated from these business industries with customers located throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.

FURMANITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Furmanite Corporation included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Overview

Furmanite Corporation, (the “Parent Company”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Furmanite”) was incorporated in 1953 and conducts its principal business through its subsidiaries in the technical services industry. The Parent Company’s common stock, no par value, trades under the ticker symbol FRM on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Company provides specialized technical services, including on-line services, which include leak sealing, hot tapping, line stopping, line isolation, composite repair and valve testing. In addition, the Company provides off-line services, which include on-site machining, heat treatment, bolting and valve repair, and other services including smart shim services, concrete repair, engineering services, and valve and other products and manufacturing. These products and services are provided primarily to electric power generating plants, petroleum refineries, which include refineries and offshore drilling rigs (including subsea), chemical plants and other process industries in the Americas (which includes operations in North America, South America and Latin America), EMEA (which includes operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia-Pacific through Furmanite.

Financial Overview

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, consolidated revenues decreased by $2.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Operating results in 2012 have been negatively impacted due to several factors, including the effects of the Company’s cost reduction initiatives, the relocation of its corporate headquarters as well as certain integration, weather and execution related matters. In addition, current year results were unfavorably affected by the transitional effects of the formation and implementation of the Company’s strategic organizational initiative aligning its service lines, service delivery centers and operations functions globally to maximize its ability to achieve its sustained growth objectives. Consequently, results from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $6.2 million and $12.6 million lower than the corresponding periods of 2011, respectively.

The Company has taken and continues to take specific actions in order to improve the operational and administrative efficiency of its EMEA operations. The Company committed to a cost reduction initiative in the second quarter of 2010, primarily related to the restructuring of certain functions within the Company’s EMEA operations. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company committed to an additional cost reduction initiative related to further restructuring of its European operations within EMEA. The additional restructuring initiative is expected to include workforce reductions primarily within the Company’s selling, general and administrative functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to reduce administrative and overhead expenses and streamline its European operations’ structure for improved operational efficiencies in the wake of the challenging economic conditions in the region, the duration of which is uncertain. The Company now estimates the total costs to be incurred in connection with this additional initiative to be approximately $2.7 million, principally all of which relates to one-time termination benefits. As of September 30, 2012, the costs incurred since the inception of the additional cost reduction initiative totaled approximately $0.8 million.

The Company had anticipated a greater portion of the restructuring initiative to be completed by the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2012, however certain statutory and administrative regulations have delayed the timing of certain actions. The Company intends to complete the remaining reduction actions by the end of 2012 and, accordingly, expects to recognize most of the remaining estimated $1.9 million of charges related to this initiative during the fourth quarter of 2012. For the cost reduction initiative commenced in 2010, total costs expected to be incurred are $4.0 million, of which $3.8 million have been incurred as of September 30, 2012, with the remaining $0.2 million related primarily to lease termination costs.

As a result of these cost reduction initiatives and corporate headquarter relocation costs, total restructuring and relocation costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 negatively impacted operating loss and net loss by $0.2 million. These costs had minimal impact on the operating income and net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, total restructuring and relocation costs negatively impacted operating income (loss) by $2.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and negatively impacted net income (loss) by $1.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Includes corporate overhead costs of $4.7 million and $14.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (including $0.1 million and $1.6 million of relocation costs), respectively, and $3.2 million and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Geographical areas, based on physical location, are the Americas (including corporate), EMEA and Asia-Pacific. The following discussion and analysis, as it relates to geographic information, excludes intercompany transactions and any allocation of headquarter costs to EMEA or Asia-Pacific.

Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consolidated revenues decreased by $1.1 million, or 0.5%, to $233.3 million, compared to $234.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted revenues by $4.0 million, of which $3.5 million and $0.5 million were related to unfavorable impacts in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues increased by $2.9 million, or 1.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. This $2.9 million increase in revenues consisted of an $11.2 million increase in the Americas but were substantially offset by decreases of $7.6 million and $0.7 million in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. The increase in revenues in the Americas was primarily related to increases in off-line services, which included volume increases in on-site machining and valve repair services of approximately 15% when compared to revenues in the same period in 2011. The decrease in revenues in EMEA was primarily attributable to decreases in off-line services, which included volume decreases in valve repair, on-site machining and bolting services of approximately 19% when compared to revenues in the same period in 2011, as the Company’s central European locations within the EMEA region

have continued to be negatively impacted by the economic crisis, resulting in unexpectedly lower revenue levels in most service lines. These decreases in revenues were partially offset by moderate volume increases in heat treatment services within off-line services as well as hot tapping services within on-line services. The decrease in revenues in Asia-Pacific was attributable to decreases in off-line and other services primarily in Singapore but was partially offset by increases in on-line services in Australia.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, consolidated revenues decreased by $2.7 million, or 3.5%, to $75.6 million, compared to $78.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted revenues by $1.3 million, of which $1.2 million and $0.1 million were related to unfavorable impacts in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues decreased by $1.4 million, or 1.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. This $1.4 million decrease in revenues consisted of decreases of $3.5 million and $2.7 million in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively, which were partially offset by increases of $4.8 million in the Americas. Revenues in the recently completed quarter were negatively impacted by weather related issues in the Americas as well as the deferral of certain work expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in revenues in the Americas was primarily due to increases in off-line services, which related to volume increases in heat treatment, valve repair and on-site machining services of approximately 31% when compared to revenues in the same period in 2011. The decrease in revenues in EMEA was primarily related to decreases in off-line services and primarily related to volume decreases in valve repair services of approximately 16% when compared to revenues in the same period in 2011. The decrease in revenues in Asia-Pacific was primarily attributable to decreases in off-line services, which related to volume decreases in bolting, on-site machining and valve repair services of approximately 40%, when compared to revenues in the same period in 2011.

Operating Costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, operating costs, including $0.2 million of restructuring costs, increased $6.2 million, or 3.9%, to $166.9 million, compared to $160.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $3.1 million, of which $2.8 million and $0.3 million were related to favorable impacts from EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs increased $9.3 million, or 5.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. This change consisted of an $10.9 million increase in the Americas but was partially offset by decreases of $1.2 million and $0.4 million in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. The increase in operating costs in the Americas was primarily related to higher material and labor costs of approximately 13% when compared to the same period in 2011, which were primarily attributable to the increase in revenues, however, were disproportionate to the increase in revenues due to lower than expected margin realization on certain jobs. The decrease in operating costs in EMEA was associated with moderate reductions in labor costs of approximately 4% but were partially offset by higher material costs when compared to the same period in 2011. These cost reductions, however, were not consistent with the decrease in revenues due to low margin realization, particularly in the first half of 2012 due to the continued challenges within the segment’s central European locations. The operating costs in Asia-Pacific decreased slightly compared to the prior period due to lower material costs but were partially offset by increases in labor costs, which were associated with the higher revenues in Australia.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, operating costs increased $2.4 million, or 4.5%, to $56.2 million, compared to $53.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $1.1 million, of which $1.0 million and $0.1 million were related to favorable impacts in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs increased by $3.5 million, or 6.5%, for the three months September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. This change consisted of a $4.7 million increase in the Americas which was partially offset by decreases of $0.7 million and $0.5 in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. The increase in operating costs in the Americas was primarily attributable to an increase in labor and material costs of approximately 20% and was partially associated with the increase in revenues when compared to the same period in 2011 as well as the lower than anticipated margins on certain jobs and the transitional effects and integration efforts associated with a late second quarter acquisition. In EMEA, the operating costs decrease was primarily related to a decrease in labor costs of approximately 9% when compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in operating costs in Asia-Pacific was related to decreases in labor costs and travel expenses of approximately 8%, associated with decreases in revenues, when compared to the same period in 2011.

Operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 71.6% from 68.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and increased to 74.4% from 68.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The percentage of operating costs to revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was higher compared to the same period in 2011 due to lower margin realization as a result of the factors noted above.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, depreciation and amortization expense was consistent with the same periods in 2011. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates were insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenue was 3.1% and 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 2.7% for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses, including $2.2 million of restructuring and relocation costs, increased $5.2 million, or 10.1%, to $56.7 million compared to $51.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $1.0 million, of which $0.9 million and $0.1 million were related to favorable impacts in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.2 million, or 12.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. This $6.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs consisted of $5.6 million and $0.8 million in increases in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively, offset by a $0.2 million decrease in EMEA. Selling, general and administrative expense increases in the Americas were related to $1.6 million of corporate relocation costs incurred in connection with the relocation of the corporate headquarters to Houston, Texas, as well as an increase in personnel and related costs associated primarily with the Company’s strategic global organizational alignment initiative, and a moderate increase in professional fees when compared to the same period in 2011. In EMEA, selling, general and administrative costs were consistent with costs in the prior period as the decreases in salary and related costs were substantially offset by higher severance related restructuring costs, which totaled $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In Asia-Pacific, increases in selling, general and administrative costs were primarily a result of the increased activity levels and general provisions within the region in the first half of 2012.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses, including $0.1 million of restructuring and relocation costs, increased $0.9 million, or 5.5%, to $17.7 million compared to $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted costs by $0.3 million, all of which related to favorable impacts in EMEA. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 7.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. This $1.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of $1.4 million and $0.4 million in increases in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively, but was partially offset by decreases of $0.6 million in EMEA. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Americas was related to an increase in personnel and related costs of approximately 5%, associated primarily with the Company’s corporate headquarter relocation and strategic global organization alignment initiative, and higher travel and professional fees of approximately 5%, when compared to the same period in 2011. The three months ended September 30, 2012 included $0.1 million of additional corporate relocation costs incurred in connection with the relocation of the corporate headquarters to Houston, Texas. Decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses in EMEA were a result of decreases in activity levels within the region as well as lower salary and related costs. There were minimal restructuring costs during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. In Asia-Pacific, increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily related to the increased activity levels in Australia.

As a result of the above factors, selling, general and administrative costs, including restructuring and relocation costs, as a percentage of revenues increased to 23.5% and 24.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 21.4% and 22.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Other Income

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net expenses of interest income and other income (expense) increased to $0.3 million from $0.1 million in the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, net expenses of interest income and other income (expense) decreased to $0.1 million from $0.3 million when compared to the same periods in 2011. Changes within interest income and other income (expense) primarily related to fluctuations within foreign currency exchange gains and losses.

Interest Expense

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consolidated interest expense increased $0.1 million when compared to the same period in 2011. This increase was primarily related to the acceleration of $0.2 million of debt issuance costs which were expensed in the first quarter of 2012 due to the termination of the Previous Credit Agreement but were partially offset by lower average debt outstanding on notes payable. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, consolidated interest expense was consistent with the same period in 2011.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense reflects the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted in interim periods for specific discrete items as required, considering the statutory rates in the countries in which the Company operates and the effects of valuation allowance changes for certain foreign entities. At the end of 2011, it was determined that the net deferred tax assets in the United States were expected to be realized and accordingly the valuation allowance on federal and state deferred tax assets was reversed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, substantially all domestic federal income taxes, as well as certain state and foreign income taxes, were fully offset by a corresponding change in the valuation allowance. Income tax expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of income tax expense in foreign and certain state jurisdictions in which the Company operates, with the nine months ended September 30, 2011 partially offset by a valuation allowance change resulting in a deferred tax benefit of $1.2 million related to the SLM acquisition.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Current year income tax expense as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes was abnormally inflated as a result of a significantly high percentage of pre-tax losses in countries with valuation allowances compounded by the impact of the restructuring initiative, as compared to pre-tax income in other countries. As a result, income tax expense of $0.2 million was incurred despite a pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012, while income tax expense as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes was approximately 112.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The 2012 estimated annual effective income tax rate for countries without valuation allowance on their deferred tax assets is approximately 36.4%. This effective tax rate differs slightly from the U.S. statutory rate as domestic state taxes and other nondeductible expense are substantially offset by lower statutory rates in other countries in which the Company operates. The Company expects its effective income tax rate to be somewhat reduced for the fourth quarter and the entire year of 2012 but to remain significantly higher than what would be considered a normalized effective tax rate in the low 30 percent range considering the mix of statutory tax rates in which the Company operates.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was approximately 27.2% and 15.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Excluding the $1.2 million acquisition related deferred tax benefit noted above, the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 23.6%. The additional differences in the 2011 income tax rates from the U.S. statutory rate is primarily related to the full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets, as the reversal of the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets did not occur until the fourth quarter of 2011, as well as changes in the mix of income before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by full valuation allowances and those that are not, and differing statutory tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources requirements include the funding of working capital needs, the funding of capital investments and the financing of internal growth.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $10.2 million compared to $5.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from changes in working capital requirements, primarily within accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as an increase in non-cash items in the current year, which were partially offset by a net loss and a decrease in other working capital requirement changes. Changes in working capital increased cash flow by approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with a decrease of $13.4 million for the same period in 2011. In addition, non-cash items for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included a $1.2 million deferred tax benefit recorded in connection with the SLM acquisition.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to $9.3 million of cash paid in connection with the acquisition of the

Houston Service Center of MCC Holdings, Inc. (“HSC”) in 2012 as compared to $3.8 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired of $1.2 million, in connection with the SLM acquisition in 2011. In addition, capital expenditures increased to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in capital expenditures in the 2012 period compared to the 2011 period is consistent with the Company’s expectations for increased capital investment in the current year.

Consolidated capital expenditures for the calendar year 2012 were initially budgeted at $14.0 million to $15.0 million, however based on the timing of projects and the current outlook for the remainder of 2012, the Company does not expect capital expenditures to exceed $10.0 million for the year. Such expenditures, however, will depend on many factors beyond the Company’s control, including, without limitation, demand for services as well as domestic and foreign government regulations. No assurance can be given that required capital expenditures will not exceed anticipated amounts during 2012 or thereafter. Capital expenditures during the year are expected to be funded from existing cash and anticipated cash flows from operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company entered into a new credit facility in March of 2012, and received borrowings of $30.0 million from the new credit facility in order to pay its remaining outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million upon the termination of the previous credit facility. Loan costs of $0.6 million were paid in connection with the new credit facility. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $9.3 million on its new credit facility to fund the HSC acquisition and made $2.7 million of principal payments on the notes payable related to the SLM acquisition.

The worldwide economy, including markets in which the Company operates, continues in varying degrees to remain sluggish, and as such, the Company believes that the risks to its business and its customers remain heightened. 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 this economic environment, could continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition in a number of ways, including reductions in revenues and profits, increased bad debts, and financial instability of suppliers and insurers.

On March 5, 2012, certain foreign subsidiaries of FWI (the “designated borrowers”) and FWI entered into a new credit agreement dated March 5, 2012 with a banking syndicate led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement, which matures on February 28, 2017, provides a revolving credit facility of up to $75.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the New Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. In addition, a portion of the amount available under the New Credit Agreement (not in excess of $7.5 million in the aggregate) is available for swing line loans to FWI. The loans outstanding to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers under the New Credit Agreement may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.

The proceeds from the initial borrowing on the New Credit Agreement were $30.0 million and were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement, which was scheduled to mature in January 2013, at which time the Previous Credit Agreement was terminated by the Company. Letters of credit issued under the Previous Credit Agreement were replaced with similar letters of credit under the New Credit Agreement. There were no material circumstances surrounding the termination of the Previous Credit Agreement and no material early termination penalties were incurred by the Company.

On June 29, 2012, to fund the purchase of HSC, FWI borrowed an additional $9.3 million under its New Credit Agreement and as of September 30, 2012, $39.3 million was outstanding under the New Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the New 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 New Credit Agreement)), which was 2.0% at September 30, 2012. The New Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.30% based on the Leverage Ratio (0.25% at September 30, 2012), and is based on the unused portion of the amount available under the New Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash expenses minus income tax credits and non-cash items increasing net income as defined in the New Credit Agreement. All obligations under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets (which approximates $141.9 million as of September 30, 2012). The Parent Company has granted a security interest in its stock of FWI as collateral security for the lenders under the New Credit Agreement, but is not a party to the New Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

The New Credit Agreement includes financial covenants, which require that the Company maintain: (i) a Leverage Ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing four-quarters basis, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00, defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures / interest plus cash taxes plus scheduled payments of debt plus Restricted Payments made (i.e. all dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock, sinking funds or similar deposits on account thereof or other returns of capital, redemption or repurchases of equity interests, and any payments to Parent or its subsidiaries (other than FWI and its subsidiaries)), and (iii) a minimum asset coverage of at least 1.50 to 1.00, defined as cash plus net accounts receivable plus net inventory plus net property, plant and equipment of FWI and its material subsidiaries that are subject to a first priority perfected lien in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders / Funded Debt. FWI is also subject to certain other compliance provisions including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, guarantees, dividends and other contingent obligations and transactions. Events of default under the New Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants and breach of representations and warranties. At September 30, 2012, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the New Credit Agreement.

Considering the outstanding borrowings of $39.3 million, and $1.7 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the New Credit Agreement was $34.0 million at September 30, 2012.

In 2009, FWI and certain foreign subsidiaries of FWI entered into a credit agreement dated July 31, 2009 with a banking syndicate comprising Bank of America, N.A. and Compass Bank (the “Previous Credit Agreement”). The Previous Credit Agreement provided a revolving credit facility of up to $50.0 million, with a portion of the amount available under the Previous Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) available for the issuance of letters of credit. In addition, a portion of the amount available under the Previous Credit Agreement (not in excess of $5.0 million in the aggregate) was available for swing line loans to FWI.

At December 31, 2011, $30.0 million was outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Previous Credit Agreement bore 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 were subject to an adjustment based on a calculated funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio), which was 2.3% at December 31, 2011. The Previous Credit Agreement also contained a commitment fee, which ranged between 0.25% to 0.30% based on the funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, and was 0.25% at December 31, 2011, based on the unused portion of the amount available under the Previous Credit Agreement.

On February 23, 2011, FWI entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Self Leveling Machines, Inc., and a subsidiary of FWI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the material operating and intangible assets of Self Levelling Machines Pty. Ltd. (collectively, “SLM”) for total consideration of $8.9 million, net of cash acquired of $1.2 million, of which approximately $4.7 million relates to the Americas and the balance relates to Asia-Pacific. SLM provides large scale on-site machining, which includes engineering, fabrication and execution of highly-specialized machining solutions for large-scale equipment or operations.

In connection with the acquisition of SLM, on February 23, 2011, FWI entered into a consent and waiver agreement as it related to the Previous Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the consent and waiver agreement, Bank of America, N.A. and Compass Bank consented to the SLM acquisition and waived any default or event of default for certain debt covenants that would arise as a result of the SLM acquisition. FWI funded the cost of the acquisition with $5.0 million in cash and by issuing notes payable to the sellers’ equity holders (the “Notes”) for $5.1 million ($2.9 million denominated in U.S. dollars and $2.2 million denominated in Australian dollars) payable in installments, through February 23, 2013. All obligations under the Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the assets acquired in the acquisition. Upon full settlement of the Notes and release of the lien by the sellers’ equity holders, the acquired assets will become assets secured under the New Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $2.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively, was outstanding under the Notes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.5% per annum.

The Company committed to certain cost reduction initiatives in the first half of 2010 and in the second quarter of 2012 in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues. As of September 30, 2012, the costs incurred since the inception of these two cost reduction initiatives totaled approximately $4.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $0.8 million in restructuring charges related to the 2010 and 2012 cost reduction initiatives and made cash payments of $1.2 million related to these initiatives. As of September 30, 2012, the remaining reserve associated with these initiatives totaled $0.4 million with estimated additional charges to be incurred of approximately $2.1 million, all of which are expected to require cash payments. Total workforce reductions for the 2010 and 2012 cost reduction initiatives included terminations for 100 employees in the Company’s EMEA segment.

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends as it believes investing earnings back into the Company will provide a better long-term return to stockholders in increased per share value. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and available credit under the New Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to finance current operations, including the Company’s cost reduction initiative obligations, planned capital expenditure requirements and internal growth for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant policies are presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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, 2012, include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, income taxes, defined benefit pension plans, contingencies, and exit or disposal obligations. Critical accounting policies are discussed regularly, at least quarterly, with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition

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

Revenues are recognized using the completed-contract method, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax. Substantially all projects are short term in nature; however, the Company occasionally enters into contracts that are longer in duration that represent multiple element arrangements, which include a combination of services and products. The Company separates deliverables into units of accounting based on whether the deliverables have standalone value to the customer. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price generally determined using vendor specific objective evidence. Revenues are recognized for the separate units of accounting when services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered and risk of ownership has passed to the customer. The Company provides limited warranties to customers, depending upon the service performed. Warranty claim costs were immaterial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

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.

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Under FASB ASC 350, intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means are amortized over their useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.

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

The Company uses the two-step process for testing goodwill impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 350. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). Two or more components of an operating segment shall be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. The Company has three reporting units for the purpose of testing goodwill impairment as the business segments are determined to be the reporting units. Second, if an impairment is indicated, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets is measured as the excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value.

The Company uses market capitalization as the basis for its measurement of the Company’s fair value as management considers this approach the most meaningful measure, considering the quoted market price as providing the best evidence of fair value. In performing the analysis, the Company uses the stock price on December 31 of each year as the valuation date. The fair value is allocated to the reporting units based on relative fair values, considering factors including expected future discounted cash flows using reasonable and appropriate assumptions about the underlying business activities of each reporting unit. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value in each of its three reporting units, therefore no impairment was indicated. Additionally, no changes in circumstances have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 which would warrant an additional impairment test in the current period. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, goodwill totaled $15.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Goodwill totaled $7.0 million and $6.1 million in the Americas at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and $6.6 million and $1.9 million at each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 in EMEA, and Asia-Pacific, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Under FASB ASC 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets, which consist of finite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Factors that may affect recoverability include changes in planned use of equipment, closing of facilities and discontinuance of service lines. Property and equipment to be held and used is reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company’s impairment review is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flow at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. Impairment occurs when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset and the impairment is viewed as other than temporary. When impairment is indicated, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair market value. Depending on the asset, fair market value may be determined either by use of a discounted cash flow model or by reference to estimated selling values of assets in similar condition. In 2011, an impairment of $0.9 million was recorded to write down certain assets in Germany based on the Company’s decision to discontinue providing certain services in that country.

Stock-Based Compensation

All stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the financial statements and such costs are measured at the fair value of the awards at the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as other assumptions. Assumptions utilized in the fair value calculations include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards (estimated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price), the risk free interest rate (based on the U.S. Treasury Note rate over the expected term of the option), the dividend yield (assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid, nor anticipates paying, any cash dividends in the foreseeable future), and employee stock option exercise behavior and forfeiture assumptions (based on historical experience and other relevant factors). Certain of the restricted stock units and stock options awards are subject to forfeiture unless certain performance objectives are achieved.

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 takes 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 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.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

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

Contingencies

Environmental

Liabilities are recorded when site restoration or environmental remediation and cleanup obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries of environmental costs through insurance, indemnification arrangements or other sources are recognized when such recoveries become certain.

The Company capitalizes environmental costs only if the costs are recoverable and the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property owned by the Company as compared with the condition of that property when originally constructed or acquired, or if the costs mitigate or prevent environmental contamination that has yet to occur and that otherwise may result from future operations or activities and the costs improve the property compared with its condition when constructed or acquired. All other environmental costs are expensed.

Other

The Company establishes a liability for all other loss contingencies when information indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Exit or Disposal Obligations

In the first half of 2010 and in the second quarter of 2012, the Company committed to cost reduction initiatives, including planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to more strategically align its operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues. The Company has recorded expenses related to these cost reduction initiatives for severance, lease cancellations, and other restructuring costs in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and FASB ASC 712-10, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.

Under FASB ASC 420-10, costs associated with restructuring activities are generally recognized when they are incurred. In the case of leases, the expense is estimated and accrued when the property is vacated. In addition, post-employment benefits accrued for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities are accounted for under FASB ASC 712-10. A liability for post-employment benefits is generally recorded when payment is probable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and the obligation relates to rights that have vested or accumulated. The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under its restructuring initiatives. Although the Company believes that these estimates accurately reflect the costs of its restructuring plans, actual results may differ, thereby requiring the Company to record additional provisions or reverse a portion of such provisions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 provides an update to ASU 2011-05, which updated existing guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date for presentation of reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income. The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. In this update, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity is then required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Subtopic 350-30. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then no further action is required. The Company will consider this guidance as it completes its annual impairment evaluation but does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011, or for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

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, $39.3 million at September 30, 2012, an increase in interest rates by one hundred basis points would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.4 million.

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 Euro, the Australian Dollar and the British Pound, 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, 2012 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Substantially all of the revenue impact was mitigated with similar exchange effects on operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses thereby reducing the exchange rate effect on operating income. The Company does not use interest rate or foreign currency rate hedges.

Based on the nine months ended September 30, 2012, foreign currency-based revenues and operating income of $108.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, a ten percent decline in all applicable foreign currencies would result in a decrease in revenues and operating income of $9.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

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, 2012. 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, 2012 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, 2012, 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

The operations of the Company are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. and various foreign locations relating to protection of the environment. Although the Company believes its operations are in compliance with applicable environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the Company. The Company has recorded, in other liabilities, an undiscounted reserve for environmental liabilities related to the remediation of site contamination for properties in the U.S. in the amount of $0.9 million and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. While there is a reasonable possibility due to the inherent nature of environmental liabilities that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts would be material to its financial statements.

On September 19, 2011, John Daugherty filed a derivative shareholder petition in the County Court at Law No. 3, Dallas County, Texas, on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers (collectively “the defendants”) and naming the Company as a nominal party. The petition alleges the named directors and officers breached their fiduciary responsibilities in regard to certain internal control matters. The petitioner requests that the defendants pay unspecified damages to the Company. On October 31, 2011, the defendants filed their answer in the lawsuit as well as motions to dismiss it. The defendants have informed the Company that they believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Furmanite America, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, is involved in disputes with a customer, INEOS USA LLC, which has been negotiating with a governmental regulatory agency and claims that the subsidiary failed to provide it with satisfactory services at the customer’s facilities. On April 17, 2009, the customer initiated legal action against the subsidiary in the Common Pleas Court of Allen County, Ohio, alleging that the subsidiary and one of its former employees, who performed data services at one of the customer’s facilities, breached its contract with the customer and failed to provide the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facility from 1998 through the second quarter of 2005. The customer’s complaint seeks damages in an amount that the subsidiary believes represents the total proposed civil penalty, plus the cost of unspecified supplemental environmental projects requested by the regulatory agency to reduce air emissions at the customer’s facility, and also seeks unspecified punitive damages. The subsidiary believes that it provided the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facilities and will vigorously defend against the customer’s claim.

While the Company cannot make an assessment of the eventual outcome of all of these matters or determine the extent, if any, of any potential uninsured liability or damage, reserves of $1.0 million and $1.3 million, which include the Furmanite America, Inc. litigation, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, there were no material changes to the risk factors reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
