FORM 10-Q/A
FOR QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 ("Form 10-Q/A") to its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, which was originally filed on August 5, 2014 ("Original Filing") to restate its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014 and to amend related disclosures, including its disclosure controls and procedures.

As described in more detail in Note 2 of the Notes to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company identified errors in the estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for two significant pipeline construction projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting within its Oil & Gas segment. As a result of these errors, additional pre-tax charges, including the reversal of previously recognized pre-tax income and the recognition of additional pre-tax losses, should have been recorded in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014. To correct these errors and to address matters related to the foregoing with respect to its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company determined that it must file this Form 10-Q/A to restate its previously issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.

The Company determined that a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting existed over the completeness and accuracy of estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting within its Oil & Gas segment as of June 30, 2014. Specifically, the Company did not adequately perform project oversight reviews and monitor compliance with its policies and procedures around estimating total revenues, costs and profits at completion for two significant pipeline construction projects. The effects of this material weakness are discussed in more detail in Item 4. Controls and Procedures.





For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety. However, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only the following items of the Original Filing and only with respect to the matters affected by this restatement and the matters discussed above:

•
Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Information”;
•
Item 2 of Part I, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Forward-Looking Statements";
•
Item 4 of Part I, “Controls and Procedures”;
•
Item 6 of Part II, “Exhibits”; and
•
The signature page, the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and our condensed consolidated financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibits 101.

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
Willbros Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Willbros” or “WGI”), is a specialty energy infrastructure contractor serving the oil, gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries. The Company’s offerings include engineering, procurement and construction (either individually or as an integrated “EPC” service offering), turnarounds, maintenance, facilities development and operations services. The Company’s principal markets for continuing operations are the United States and Canada. The Company obtains its work through competitive bidding and through negotiations with prospective clients. Contract values range from several thousand dollars to several hundred million dollars and contract durations range from a few weeks to more than two years.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2014 (restated) and 2013, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, the Company believes the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. These restated unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2013 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
In the opinion of management, the restated unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position as of June 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for all interim periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows to be achieved for the full year.
The restated Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include certain estimates and assumptions made by management. These estimates and assumptions relate to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the restated Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during those periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and parts and supplies inventories; quantification of amounts recorded for contingencies, tax accruals and certain other accrued liabilities; valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred income tax assets; and revenue recognition under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, including estimates of progress toward completion and estimates of gross profit or loss accrual on contracts in progress. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes to be relevant under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Out-of-Period Adjustments – The Company recorded out-of-period adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to the calculation of its state tax provision and the overstatement of rent expense. The net impact of these adjustments was an increase to pre-tax loss, as restated, of $0.2 million and a decrease to net loss from continuing operations, as restated, and net loss, as restated, of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company does not believe these adjustments are material, individually or in the aggregate, to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014, nor does it believe such items are material to any of its previously issued annual or quarterly financial statements, or its expected 2014 annual financial statements.
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications primarily relate to the sale of the union refinery maintenance turnaround business unit, a related fabrication facility and associated tools and equipment (“CTS”) during the second quarter of 2014. See Note 14 – Discontinued Operations for additional discussion associated with these reclassifications.

2. Restatement of Previously Reported Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company identified errors in the estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for two significant pipeline construction projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting within its Oil & Gas segment. As a result of these errors, additional pre-tax charges, including the reversal of previously recognized pre-tax income and the recognition of additional pre-tax losses, should have been recorded in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014. To correct these errors and to address matters related to the foregoing with respect to its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company determined that it must file this Form 10-Q/A to restate its previously issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.
Giving consideration to all project information to date, these errors, in addition to the correction of certain other immaterial errors, and the reversal of previously accrued bonuses, resulted in additional pre-tax charges of $11.9 million and $30.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
The following table summarizes the impact of the restatement on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

2. Restatement of Previously Reported Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)




The additional pre-tax charges of $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, includes the following:
 
•
A net reduction in previously recognized contract revenue of $3.8 million for two significant pipeline construction projects; and
•
An $8.2 million increase in operating expenses primarily due to the recognition of a net $11.7 million in reserve for losses on two significant pipeline construction projects, partially offset by the reversal of $3.5 million in previously accrued bonuses, which will no longer be paid in accordance with the Company's bonus plan, due to the additional losses incurred.

The net $20.6 million decrease in contracts in progress consists of $20.3 million in previously recognized contract revenue for two significant pipeline construction projects and a $0.3 million reduction related to the erroneous recognition of an unapproved change order.
The $8.9 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily relates to a reserve for estimated losses on two significant pipeline construction projects of $14.2 million, partially offset by a $5.2 million reduction related to the reversal of previously accrued bonuses.
The increase in the other balance sheet accounts relates to a $0.4 million increase in other long-term liabilities attributed to additional rent expense and a $0.2 million increase in accrued income taxes attributed to an additional tax provision recorded as a result of the decrease in bonus expense discussed above.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2013, the FASB amended the accounting standard related to a parent company’s accounting for the foreign cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. Under this standard, a parent entity who ceases to have a controlling interest in a subsidiary that is a business within a foreign entity should only release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income if the loss of controlling interest represents complete, or substantially complete, liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary, or asset group, had resided. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and would affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements if it disposes of a foreign entity.
 
In July 2013, the FASB amended the accounting standard related to income taxes to eliminate a diversity in practice for the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendment requires that the unrecognized tax benefit be presented as a reduction of the deferred tax assets associated with the carryforwards except in certain circumstances when it would be reflected as a liability. The adoption of this revision is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in a company’s operations and financial results should be reported as discontinued operations, with expanded disclosures. In addition, disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify as a discontinued operation is required. This standard is effective, on a prospective basis, for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and would affect the classification of the Company’s future business disposals in discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB and the IASB issued common guidance surrounding the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Under the new guidance, a company will recognize revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. Revenue will be recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. This guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective, on either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective basis, for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and will affect the treatment and disclosure of revenue in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.


4. Contracts in Progress
Contract cost and recognized income not yet billed on uncompleted contracts arise when recorded revenues for a contract exceed the amounts billed under the terms of the contracts. Contract billings in excess of cost and recognized income arise when billed amounts exceed revenues recorded. Amounts are billable to customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of the contract. Also included in contract cost and recognized income not yet billed on uncompleted contracts are amounts the Company seeks to collect from customers for change orders approved in scope but not for price associated with that scope change (unapproved change orders). Revenue for these amounts is recorded equal to the lesser of the expected revenue or cost incurred when realization of price approval is probable. Estimating revenues from unapproved change orders involves the use of estimates, and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated recoverable amounts of recorded unapproved change orders may be made in the near-term. If the Company does not successfully resolve these matters, a reduction in revenues may be required to amounts that have been previously recorded.

Contract cost and recognized income not yet billed includes $6.0 million and $5.0 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, on completed contracts.
The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to retainage provisions in certain contracts are generally due upon completion of the contracts and acceptance by the customer. Based on the Company’s experience with similar contracts in recent years, the majority of the retainage balances at each balance sheet date are expected to be collected within the next 12 months. Current retainage balances at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were approximately $60.6 million and $39.1 million, respectively, and are included in “Accounts receivable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Retainage balances with settlement dates beyond the next 12 months at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were approximately $2.5 million and $0.0 million, respectively, and are included in “Other assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2013 Credit Facilities
On August 7, 2013, the Company entered into a five-year $150.0 million asset based senior revolving credit facility maturing on August 7, 2018 with Bank of America, N.A. serving as sole administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, collateral agent, issuing bank and swingline lender (the “ABL Credit Facility”), and a six-year $250.0 million term loan facility maturing on August 7, 2019 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. serving as a sole administrative agent for the lenders thereunder (the “2013 Term Loan Facility” and, together with the ABL Credit Facility, the “2013 Credit Facilities”).

ABL Credit Facility
The initial aggregate amount of commitments for the ABL Credit Facility is comprised of $125.0 million for the U.S. facility (the “U.S. Facility”) and $25.0 million for the Canadian facility (the “Canadian Facility”). The ABL Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $100.0 million for letters of credit and an accordion feature permitting the borrowers, under certain conditions, to increase the aggregate amount by an incremental $75.0 million, with additional commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from lenders reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent. The borrowers under the U.S. Facility consist of all of the Company’s U.S. operating subsidiaries with assets included in the borrowing base and the U.S. Facility is guaranteed by Willbros Group, Inc. and its material U.S. subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries. The borrower under the Canadian Facility is Willbros Construction Services (Canada) LP and the Canadian Facility is guaranteed by Willbros Group, Inc. and all of its material U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries.
Advances under the U.S. and Canadian Facility are limited to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of 85 percent of the value of “eligible accounts” and 60 percent of the value of “eligible unbilled accounts” less applicable reserves, which the administrative agent may establish from time to time in its permitted discretion. Eligible unbilled accounts may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate. Advances in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR or the U.S. or Canadian base rate plus an additional margin. Advances in Canadian dollars bear interest at the Bankers Acceptance (“BA”) Equivalent Rate or the Canadian prime rate plus an additional margin.
The interest rate margins are adjusted each quarter based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of the previous quarter as follows: 
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
 
U.S. Base Rate, Canadian
Base Rate and Canadian
Prime Rate Loans
 
LIBOR Loans, BA Rate Loans and
Letter of Credit Fees
>1.25 to 1
 
1.25%
 
2.25%
<1.25 to 1 and 1.15 to 1
 
1.50%
 
2.50%
<1.15 to 1
 
1.75%
 
2.75%
The borrowers will also pay an unused line fee on each of the U.S. and Canadian Facilities equal to 50 basis points when usage under the applicable facility during the preceding calendar month is less than 50 percent of the commitments or 37.5 basis points when usage under the applicable facility equals or exceeds 50 percent of the commitments for such period. With respect to the letters of credit, the borrowers will pay a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable LIBOR margin, shown in the table above, on all letters of credit and a 0.125 percent fronting fee to the issuing bank, in each case, payable monthly in arrears.
Obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in the borrowers’ and guarantors’ accounts receivable, deposit accounts and similar assets (the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and a second priority security interest in the borrowers’ and guarantors’ equipment, inventory, subsidiary capital stock, and intellectual property, which is subject to the first priority security interest of the collateral agent for the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan Priority Collateral”).

2013 Term Loan Facility
The 2013 Term Loan Facility provides for a $250.0 million term loan, which the Company drew in full on the effective date of the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility. Term loans were issued at a discount such that the funded portion was equal to 96.5 percent of the principal amount of the term loans. The borrower under the Term Loan Facility is Willbros Group, Inc. with all of its obligations guaranteed by its material U.S. subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries. The 2013 Credit Facilities permit the Company, under certain conditions, to add one or more incremental term loans to the 2013 Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million.
The term loans are repayable in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 0.25 percent of the original amount of the 2013 Term Loan Facility. The balance of the terms loan are repayable on August 7, 2019. The Company is permitted to make optional prepayments at any time, subject to a variable prepayment premium if the prepayment is made prior to August 6, 2016. Mandatory prepayments of term loans are required from (i) 100 percent of the proceeds of the sale of assets constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, subject to reinvestment provisions and certain exceptions and thresholds, (ii) 100 percent of the net cash proceeds from issuances of debt by the Company and its subsidiaries, other than permitted indebtedness and (iii) 75 percent (with step-downs to 50 percent and 0 percent based on a leverage ratio) of annual “excess cash flow”

7. Long-term Debt (continued)



provided that any voluntary prepayments of term loans will be credited against excess cash flow obligations. Mandatory prepayments of excess cash flow are payable within five business days after annual financial statements are delivered to the administrative agent beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
The term loans will bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin, or the “Eurodollar Rate” plus an applicable margin. The ABR is the highest of (i) the rate announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for a period of one month plus 1.0 percent and (iv) 2.25 percent. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate for Eurodollar deposits for a period equal to one, two, three or six months, as selected by the Company. The applicable margin for ABR loans is 8.75 percent, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans is 9.75 percent.
Obligations under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in the Term Loan Priority Collateral and a second priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral.

The Company’s primary sources of capital are its cash on hand, operating cash flows, and borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $30.0 million in outstanding revolver borrowings. The Company’s unused availability under its June 30, 2014 borrowing base certificate was $47.1 million on a borrowing base of $142.9 million
and outstanding letters of credit of $65.8 million.

If the Company’s unused availability under the ABL Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 15 percent of the revolving commitments or $22.5 million for five consecutive days, or (ii) 12.5 percent of the revolving commitments or $18.8 million at any time, or upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the ABL Credit Facility, the Company is subject to increased reporting requirements, the administrative agent shall have exclusive control over any deposit account, the Company will not have any right of access to, or withdrawal from, any deposit account, or any right to direct the disposition of funds in any deposit account, and amounts in any deposit account will be applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the ABL Credit Facility.
On November 12, 2014, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the "Commitment Letter") whereby the Company expects that it may be able to obtain a new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $270.0 million (the "2014 Term Loan Facility"). Proceeds under the 2014 Term Loan Facility would be used to refinance the loans outstanding under the 2013 Term Loan Facility, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing, and to provide the Company with additional working capital. Consummation of the 2014 Term Loan Facility is subject to customary closing conditions and the Company can provide no assurance that it will successfully complete the refinancing.

Debt Covenants and Events of Default
A default under the 2013 Credit Facilities may be triggered by events such as a failure to comply with financial covenants or other covenants under the 2013 Credit Facilities, a failure to make payments when due under the 2013 Credit Facilities, a failure to make payments when due in respect of, or a failure to perform obligations relating to, debt obligations in excess of $15.0 million, a change of control of the Company, and certain insolvency proceedings. A default under the ABL Credit Facility would permit the lenders to terminate their commitment to make cash advances or issue letters of credit, require the immediate repayment of any outstanding cash advances with interest and require the cash collateralization of outstanding letter of credit obligations. A default under the 2013 Term Loan Facility would permit the lenders to require immediate repayment of all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereunder.
Based on the decision to restate its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company was in violation of certain technical covenants in the 2013 Credit Facilities which, among other things, require the Company to deliver financial statements in accordance with GAAP. As a result, effective December 1, 2014, the lenders under the 2013 ABL Credit Facility and the 2013 Term Loan Facility each waived any default or event of default resulting from the failure of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014 to conform to GAAP. Effective October 21, 2014, the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility also waived any default or event of default resulting from the failure of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014 to conform to GAAP.

7. Long-term Debt (continued)



On November 12, 2014, the Company amended, and obtained certain waivers under, the 2013 Term Loan Facility pursuant to a Waiver and Third Amendment (the "Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment modifies certain financial covenants and waives any defaults or events of default under the 2013 Term Loan Facility as a result of the restatement of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.
The table below sets forth information with respect to the financial covenants included in the 2013 Credit Facilities, as modified by the Third Amendment, as well as the calculation of the Company's performance in relation to the financial covenants at June 30, 2014. If the refinancing of the 2013 Term Loan Facility is completed, the Company expects that the covenant requirements under the 2014 Term Loan Facility will be the same as those described in the table below:
 
 
Covenants
Requirements
 
Actual Ratios at
June 30, 2014
Maximum Total Leverage Ratio(1) under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the ratio of Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility) should be equal to or less than:
 
3.00 to 1
 
2.64
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio(2) under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense as defined in the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility) should be equal to or greater than:
 
3.50 to 1
 
3.57
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio(3) under the ABL Credit Facility (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA less Capital Expenditures and cash income taxes to Consolidated Interest Expense, Restricted Payments made in cash and scheduled cash principal payments made on borrowed money as defined in the credit agreement for the ABL Credit Facility) should be equal to or greater than:
 
1.15 to 1
 
N/A
 
(1)
The Maximum Total Leverage Ratio increases to 4.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2014 and decreases to 4.00 to 1 as of September 30, 2015, 3.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2015, 3.25 to 1 as of March 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2016 and 2.75 to 1 as of September 30, 2016 and thereafter.
(2)
The Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio decreases to 2.75 to 1 as of September 30, 2014 and 2.00 to 1 as of December 31, 2014 and increases to 2.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2015, 2.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2016 and 3.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2016 and thereafter.
(3)
The Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is applicable only if excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility is less than the greater of 15 percent of the commitments or $22.5 million. In addition, prepayments of indebtedness under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are permitted if excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeds the greater of 20 percent of the commitments and $30.0 million and the borrowers and guarantors are in compliance with the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a pro forma basis immediately prior to and giving effect to the prepayment. Prepayments of indebtedness under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are permitted without restriction to the extent such prepayments are from the proceeds of dispositions of the Term Loan Priority Collateral.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2013 Credit Facilities. The Company expects to remain in compliance with the modified covenants for the next 12 months.
Depending on its financial performance, the Company may be required to request additional amendments or waivers for its financial covenants, dispose of assets or reduce overhead. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional amendments or waivers, complete asset sales or reduce sufficient amounts of overhead should it become needed.
The 2013 Credit Facilities also include customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including:
 
•
limitations on liens and indebtedness;
•
limitations on dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock;
•
limitations on capital expenditures; and
•
limitations on modifications of the documentation of the ABL Credit Facility.

The 2013 Term Loan Facility, revolver borrowings under the 2013 ABL Credit Facility, capital lease obligations, and other obligations are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the 2013 Term Loan Facility has been estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements. A significant increase or decrease in the inputs could result in a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the 2013 Term Loan Facility.

8. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on continuing operations was a negative 42.7 percent and a negative 36.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Tax benefit for discrete items for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.5 million. This amount is composed of a tax refund, uncertain tax positions and Texas Margins Tax. Tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $6.5 million, mainly due to Canadian Tax and Texas Margins Tax offset by the tax benefit from a tax refund. The Company has not recorded the benefit of current year losses in the United States. As of June 30, 2014, U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets continue to be covered by valuation allowances. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future U.S. taxable income. The Company considers the impacts of reversing taxable temporary differences, future forecasted income and available tax planning strategies when forecasting future taxable income and in evaluating whether deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
The effective tax rate on continuing operations was a negative 142.6 percent and a negative 78.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $2.9 million, which primarily relates to Canadian Tax and Texas Margins Tax partially offset by a tax refund.
In April 2011, the Company discontinued its strategy of reinvesting foreign earnings in foreign operations. This change in strategy continues through the second quarter of 2014. The Company does not anticipate recording tax expense related to future repatriations of foreign earnings to the U.S.
The Company expects that the statute of limitations will expire on an uncertain tax position within the next 12 months. Assuming that the statute of limitations expires, the Company would release reserves in the amount of $1.6 million.

Stock Ownership Plans
In May 1996, the Company established the Willbros Group, Inc. 1996 Stock Plan (the “1996 Plan”) with 1,125,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance to provide for awards to key employees of the Company, and the Willbros Group, Inc. Director Stock Plan (the “Director Plan”) with 125,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance to provide for the grant of stock options to non-employee directors. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 1996 Plan and the Director Plan, was increased to 4,825,000 and 225,000, respectively, by stockholder approval. The Director Plan expired August 16, 2006.
In 2006, the Company established the 2006 Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “2006 Director Plan”) with 50,000 shares authorized for issuance to grant shares of restricted stock and restricted stock rights to non-employee directors. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2006 Director Plan was increased in 2008 to 250,000, in 2012 to 550,000, and in 2014 to 750,000 by stockholder approval.
On May 26, 2010, the Company established the Willbros Group, Inc. 2010 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) with 2,100,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance (increased in 2012 to 3,450,000 shares and in 2014 to 6,050,000 shares by stockholder approval) to provide for awards to key employees of the Company. All future grants of stock awards to key employees will be made through the 2010 Plan. As a result, the 1996 Plan was frozen, with the exception of normal vesting, forfeiture, and other activity associated with awards previously granted under the 1996 Plan. At June 30, 2014, the 2010 Plan had 3,490,764 shares available for grant.

10. Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period and the assumed exercise of potentially dilutive stock options and vesting of RSUs less the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds using the average market price of the Company’s stock for each of the periods presented.
Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share from continuing operations is computed as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

12. Contingencies, Commitments and Other Circumstances
Contingencies
Central Maine Power
On January 20, 2014, the Company settled a lawsuit against Central Maine Power Company (“CMP”) in connection with an existing project to install transmission lines and perform construction services for CMP, for the project generally known as the Transmission Line Construction of the Southern Loop and Southern Connector portion of the Maine Power Reliability Program (the “MPRP Project”). Under terms of the settlement, CMP made a payment to the Company in the first quarter of 2014 of $20.1 million, which consisted of $17.0 million in settlement proceeds and $3.1 million as an early payment of retention. In addition, CMP extended the schedule and provided other relief on the remainder of the MPRP Project. The impact of the settlement on operating results was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company continues to perform the MPRP Project, which has an expected completion date in the third quarter of 2014.

12. Contingencies, Commitments and Other Circumstances (continued)


Litigation and Regulatory Matters Related to the Company’s October 21, 2014 Press Release Announcing a Restatement of its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2014
After the Company announced it would be restating its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on October 28, 2014 seeking class action status on behalf of the Company’s shareholders and alleging damages on their behalf arising from the matters that led to the restatement. The defendants in the case, Ray Walters v. Willbros Group, Inc. et al, are the Company and its former chief executive officer and current chief financial officer. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, arising out of the restatement of the Company’s second quarter 2014 financial statements and seeks undisclosed damages. The court has not appointed a lead plaintiff, and the Company has not yet answered or otherwise responded to the complaint. As this matter is at a very early stage, the Company is not able at this time to determine the likelihood of loss, if any, arising from this matter. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.
In addition, a shareholder derivative complaint, Markovich v. Harl et al, was filed on November 6, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of the Company naming certain current and former officers and members of the Company's board of directors as defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that the officer and board member defendants breached their fiduciary duties by permitting the Company's internal controls to be inadequate, wasted corporate assets and were unjustly enriched. As this matter is at a very early stage, the Company is not able at this time to determine the likelihood of loss, if any, arising from this matter.

Other
In addition to the matters discussed above and in Note 14 – Discontinued Operations, the Company is party to a number of other legal proceedings. Management believes that the nature and number of these proceedings are typical for a firm of similar size engaged in a similar type of business and that none of these proceedings is material to the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Commitments
From time to time, the Company enters into commercial commitments, usually in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit, surety bonds, and financial guarantees. Contracts with the Company’s customers may require the Company to secure letters of credit or surety bonds with regard to the Company’s performance of contracted services. In such cases, the commitments can be called upon in the event of failure to perform contracted services. Likewise, contracts may allow the Company to issue letters of credit or surety bonds in lieu of contract retention provisions, where the client withholds a percentage of the contract value until project completion or expiration of a warranty period. Retention commitments can be called upon in the event of warranty or project completion issues, as prescribed in the contracts. At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $65.8 million of outstanding letters of credit. This amount represents the maximum amount of payments the Company could be required to make if these letters of credit are drawn upon. Additionally, the Company issues surety bonds customarily required by commercial terms on construction projects. At June 30, 2014, the Company had bonds outstanding, primarily performance bonds, with a face value at $235.1 million. This amount represents the bond penalty amount of future payments the Company could be required to make if the Company fails to perform its obligations under such contracts. The performance bonds do not have a stated expiration date; rather, each is released when the contract is accepted by the owner. The Company’s maximum exposure as it relates to the value of the bonds outstanding is lowered on each bonded project as the cost to complete is reduced. As of June 30, 2014, no liability has been recognized for letters of credit or surety bonds.

Other Circumstances
The Company has the usual liability of contractors for the completion of contracts and the warranty of its work. In addition, the Company acts as prime contractor on a majority of the projects it undertakes and is normally responsible for the performance of the entire project, including subcontract work. Management is not aware of any material exposure related thereto which has not been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

13. Fair Value Measurements

The FASB’s standard on fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Hierarchy
The FASB’s standard on fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This standard establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, long-term debt, and interest rate contracts. The fair value estimates of the Company’s financial instruments have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies and approximate carrying value.
 
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these financial instruments (in thousands) was determined using the following inputs as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Hedging Arrangements
The Company attempts to negotiate contracts that provide for payment in U.S. dollars, but it may be required to take all or a portion of payment under a contract in another currency. To mitigate non-U.S. currency exchange risk, the Company seeks to match anticipated non-U.S. currency revenue with expenses in the same currency whenever possible. To the extent it is unable to match non-U.S. currency revenue with expenses in the same currency, the Company may use forward contracts, options or other common hedging techniques in the same non-U.S. currencies. The Company had no derivative financial instruments to hedge currency risk at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Interest Rate Swaps
The Company is subject to hedging arrangements to fix or otherwise limit the interest cost of its variable interest rate borrowings. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and investment of cash and cash equivalents arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not engage in speculative trading strategies.
In August 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $124.1 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $124.1 million of its existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under the swap agreement, which is effective June 30, 2014 through August 7, 2019, the Company receives interest at either one-month LIBOR or 1.25 percent (whichever is greater) and pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.84 percent. The swap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedging instrument with the effective portion of the swap’s change in fair value recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). The swap is highly effective in offsetting changes in interest expense and no hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts in OCI will be reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized.
In September 2010, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $150.0 million of its then existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under each swap agreement, the Company received interest at either three-month LIBOR or 2 percent (whichever was greater) and paid interest at a fixed rate of 2.68 percent through June 30, 2014. Through August 7, 2013, the swap agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of the swaps’ change in fair value recorded in OCI. Amounts in OCI were reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized during the period when the swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Through August 7, 2013, the swaps were highly effective hedges, and only an immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On August 7, 2013, the swaps were de-designated due to the refinancing of the underlying debt, which decreased the interest rate floor from 2 percent to 1.25 percent. In addition, on August 7, 2013, each swap agreement was transferred to another party through a novation transaction, which increased the Company’s interest rate to 2.70 percent through June 30, 2014. Changes in the value of the swaps that remain open are reported in earnings and were immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
 
The carrying amount and fair value of these swap agreements are equivalent since the Company accounts for these instruments at fair value. The values, as identified below (in thousands), are derived from pricing models using inputs based upon market information, including contractual terms, market prices, and yield curves. The inputs to the valuation pricing models are observable in the market, and, as such, are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For validation purposes, the swap valuations are periodically compared to those produced by swap counterparties. Amounts of OCI relating to the interest rate swaps expected to be recognized in interest expense in the coming twelve months totaled $1.9 million.

14. Discontinued Operations

Business Disposals
Hawkeye
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company sold certain assets comprising its Hawkeye business to Elecnor Hawkeye, LLC, a subsidiary of Elecnor, Inc. (“Elecnor”). In connection with the sale, the Company recorded total consideration of $27.7 million, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. At the closing, Elecnor delivered two letters of credit, one to the Company for $16.2 million and the other to the escrow agent for $8.0 million. The Company recognized a net loss on the sale of $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. As a result, the disposition had no impact on the operating results in the six months ended June 30, 2014.
In the first quarter of 2014, the Company received $21.2 million in cash consisting of full payment against the $16.2 million letter of credit and $5.0 million of the $8.0 million in escrow. The Company has received $0.7 million of additional proceeds in the second quarter of 2014, and an additional $0.8 million in July 2014. The Company expects to receive the remaining $5.0 million in proceeds once the post-closing working capital adjustment is finalized.
 
CTS
In the second quarter of 2014, the Company sold its CTS business to a private buyer. In connection with the disposition, the Company recorded total proceeds of $25.0 million and recognized a net loss on sale of $8.2 million. The net loss is inclusive of a non-cash charge of $15.0 million related to intangible assets associated with the sold business.

14. Discontinued Operations (continued)


Former Nigeria-Based Operations
Litigation and Settlement
On March 29, 2012, the Company and Willbros Global Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Willbros Group, Inc., a Panama corporation (“WGHI”), which is now a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with WAPCo to settle a lawsuit filed against WGHI by WAPCo in 2010 under English law in the London High Court in which WAPCo was seeking $273.7 million plus costs and interest. The lawsuit was based upon a parent company guarantee issued by WGHI to WAPCo in connection with a Nigerian project undertaken by a WGHI subsidiary that was later sold to a third party. WAPCo alleged that the third party defaulted in the performance of the project and thereafter brought the lawsuit against WGHI under the parent company guarantee for its claimed losses.
The Settlement Agreement provides that WGHI must make payments to WAPCo totaling $55.5 million of which $14.0 million was paid in 2012, $5.0 million was paid in 2013, and $3.8 million was paid in July 2014. The remaining $32.7 million is due at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014.
WGI and WGHI are jointly and severally liable for payment of the amount due to WAPCo under the Settlement Agreement. WGHI and WGI are subject to a penalty rate of interest and collection efforts in the London court in the event they fail to meet any of the payments required by the Settlement Agreement.
The Company currently has no employees working in Nigeria and does not intend to return to Nigeria.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, included in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q/A, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including Critical Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

OVERVIEW
Willbros is a specialty energy infrastructure contractor serving the oil, gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries. Our offerings include engineering, procurement and construction (either individually or as an integrated “EPC” service offering), turnarounds, maintenance, facilities development and operations services.

Second Quarter of 2014
In the second quarter of 2014, we generated contract revenue of $539.8 million, an increase of approximately $103.9 million from the second quarter of 2013. The increase was attributed primarily to an increase of $99.6 million in our Oil & Gas segment as well as increases of $13.0 million and $7.9 million in our Professional Services and Canada segments, respectively. The overall increase in contract revenue was partially offset by a $16.4 million decrease in our Utility T&D segment.
Operating income of $6.6 million during the second quarter of 2014 was an increase of $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily due to improved profitability in our Canada segment. The increase in operating income was partially offset by decreased performance in our electric transmission construction services within our Utility T&D segment primarily due to the completion of two Texas Competitive Renewable Energy Zone ("CREZ") transmission construction projects in the same period last year as well as the deterioration of a significant pipeline construction project in our Oil & Gas segment.
Contract revenue of $234.0 million generated by our Oil & Gas segment increased approximately 74.2 percent from the second quarter of 2013 primarily driven by increased demand and a higher utilization of resources within our cross-country pipeline, downstream and regional delivery services. The operating loss of $22.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 increased $0.8 million compared to the same period last year. The increased operating loss is primarily related to increased losses in our regional delivery services primarily related to a significant pipeline construction project in the northeast, partially offset by improved performance within our cross-country pipeline construction services.
Contract revenue of $111.9 million generated by our Utility T&D segment decreased $16.4 million from the second quarter of 2013 and operating income of $9.7 million decreased $5.9 million. These decreases are primarily attributable to the completion of the Texas CREZ backlog in 2013; however, we are experiencing revenue and margin growth in our service lines and continue to anticipate margin improvement as this segment transitions to a more balanced customer base for transmission construction.
Our Canada segment generated contract revenue of $95.3 million, up $7.9 million from the same period last year. Operating income for the second quarter of 2014 more than doubled to $11.5 million from the same period last year due primarily to a shift in portfolio mix from lower-margin maintenance work to higher-margin lump sum projects. Canada continues to benefit from its focus on the oil sands mining and in-situ markets and the process-focused leadership team.
Our Professional Services segment increased contract revenue by 14.8 percent over the second quarter of 2013, to $100.4 million. Professional Services operating income of $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 was a $0.2 million decrease from the second quarter of last year. The decrease quarter-over-quarter was primarily driven by delayed start on a government services project, partially offset by strong execution and performance on EPC projects and higher margins in our integrity service offerings. We continue to expect that the investments we have made in new offices and technology will add margin improvement going forward.

33


Looking Forward
We continue to expect increased opportunities for our Professional Services, Oil & Gas, and Utility T&D segments and continue to focus on driving the process-oriented culture change that has positively impacted safety performance over the last two years. This focus on risk identification and mitigation and on lines of service which are underperforming, with the objective of generating improved operating results, cash flow and margins, will continue to be the focus of management actions throughout 2014. We will continue to take actions to remediate or exit lines of service which are not performing to expectations and focus on expansion of services which contribute superior risk adjusted margins and demonstrate growth potential in all of our segments.

Other Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations
We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for items broadly consisting of selected items which management does not consider representative of our ongoing operations and certain non-cash items of the Company. These adjustments are itemized in the following table. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as a supplemental performance measure for:
 
•
Comparing normalized operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry; and
•
Presentations made to analysts, investment banks and other members of the financial community who use this information in order to make investment decisions about us.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a financial measurement recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies.

Backlog
In our industry, backlog is considered an indicator of potential future performance as it represents a portion of the future revenue stream. Our strategy is focused on capturing quality backlog with margins commensurate with the risks associated with a given project. As such, we have put processes and procedures in place to identify contractual and execution risks in new work opportunities and believe we have instilled in the organization the discipline to price, accept and book only work which meets stringent criteria for commercial success and profitability.
Backlog broadly consists of anticipated revenue from the uncompleted portions of existing contracts and contracts whose award is reasonably assured, subject only to the cancellation and modification provisions contained in various contracts. Additionally, due to the short duration of many jobs, revenue associated with jobs won and performed within a reporting period will not be reflected in quarterly backlog reports. We generate revenue from numerous sources, including contracts of long or short duration entered into during a year as well as from various contractual processes, including change orders, extra work and variations in the scope of work. These revenue sources are not added to backlog until realization is assured.
Our backlog presentation reflects not only the 12-month lump sum and work under a Master Service Agreement (“MSA”); but also, the full-term value of work under contract, including MSA work, as we believe that this information is helpful in providing additional long-term visibility. We determine the amount of backlog for work under ongoing MSA maintenance and construction contracts by using recurring historical trends inherent in the MSAs, factoring in seasonal demand and projecting customer needs based upon ongoing communications with the customer. We also include in backlog our share of work to be performed under contracts signed by joint ventures in which we have an ownership interest.

At June 30, 2014, total backlog was approximately $1.7 billion and 12 month backlog was approximately $1.0 billion. In comparison to December 31, 2013, total backlog decreased approximately $238.6 million and 12 month backlog decreased approximately $76.6 million. These decreases are primarily related to the burn-off of backlog on certain significant Oil & Gas projects and the continued work-off of MSAs, which are subject to renewal options in future years.

Consolidated Results
Contract Revenue
Contract revenue increased $103.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily related to higher utilization and increased demand in a number of service offerings within our Oil & Gas segment and continued growth within our Canada and Professional Services segments. The increase was partially offset by a reduction of activity in our electric transmission construction services within our Utility T&D segment primarily due to the completion of two Texas CREZ transmission construction projects in the same period last year.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expense as a percentage of contract revenue decreased to 6.8 percent in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 9.4 percent in the second quarter of 2013. This change is primarily due to an increase in contract revenue in the current quarter without a corresponding increase in support and overhead costs in addition to a decrease in bonus expense quarter-over-quarter.

Operating Income
Operating income increased $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2014 driven primarily by improved profitability in our Canada segment. The increase in operating income was partially offset by decreased performance in our electric transmission construction services within our Utility T&D segment primarily due to the completion of two Texas CREZ transmission construction projects in the same period last year as well as the deterioration of a significant pipeline construction project in our Oil & Gas segment.

Other Expense
Other expense increased $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to a one-time debt extinguishment charge of $0.9 million related to the write-off of Original Issue Discount and financing costs, which resulted from an early payment of debt under our 2013 Term Loan Facility.

36

Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily attributed to increased profitability in our Canada segment, which is subject to an income tax provision. We have not recorded the benefit of current year losses in the United States for the second quarter of 2014 as our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets continue to be covered by valuation allowances.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes
Loss from discontinued operations increased $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to an $8.2 million loss on the sale of our union refinery maintenance turnaround business unit, a related fabrication facility and associated tools and equipment (“CTS”) which was recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The increase was partially offset by decreased losses attributed to the Maine Power Reliability Program ("MPRP") Project, quarter over quarter.

Segment Results
Oil & Gas Segment
Contract revenue increased $99.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily related to higher utilization and increased demand within our cross-country pipeline, downstream, and regional delivery services.
Operating loss increased $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily related to the deterioration of a significant pipeline construction project. This decrease was partially offset by improved performance within our downstream services.

Utility T&D Segment
Contract revenue decreased $16.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 driven primarily by a reduction in activity in our electric transmission construction services in Texas primarily related to the completion of two Texas CREZ transmission construction projects in the same period last year. The decrease was partially offset by growth in distribution MSA work in Texas and the Mid-Atlantic region.
Operating income decreased $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 driven primarily by the completion of the two Texas CREZ transmission construction projects referenced above. The decrease was partially offset by improved margins associated with distribution MSA work.

Professional Services Segment
Contract revenue increased $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily from increased demand and growth in our engineering and EPC services partially offset by decreased activity in government services mainly related to the delayed start of projects under contract.
Operating income decreased $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased losses in our government services mainly due to the delayed start of projects under contract. The decrease was partially offset by strong execution and performance on EPC projects and higher margins in our integrity service offerings.

Canada Segment
Contract revenue increased $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily attributed to the continued large volume of work on all lines of service including several significant specialty service and lump-sum projects.
Operating income increased $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased profitability in our tanks and facilities service offerings as well as a greater volume of lump-sum projects which produced higher margins quarter-over-quarter.

General and administrative expense as a percentage of contract revenue decreased to 7.3 percent for the first six months of 2014 compared to 8.5 percent for the six months of 2013. This change is primarily due to an increase in contract revenue during the first half of the year without a corresponding increase in support and overhead costs in addition to a decrease in bonus expense year-over-year.

Operating Income
Operating income decreased $3.9 million in the first six months of 2014 driven mainly through decreased performance in our electric transmission construction services within our Utility T&D segment primarily due to the completion of two Texas CREZ transmission construction projects in the same period last year. The decrease was also due to the deterioration of two significant pipeline construction projects in our Oil & Gas segment. This decrease was partially offset by continued profitability in our Canada and Professional Services segments.

Other Expense
Other expense increased $1.1 million in the first six months of 2014 primarily due to a one-time debt extinguishment charge of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 related to the write-off of Original Issue Discount and financing costs, which resulted from an early payment of debt under our 2013 Term Loan Facility.

38

Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $2.8 million in the first six months of 2014 primarily attributed to increased profitability in our Canada segment, which is subject to an income tax provision. We have not recorded the benefit of current year losses in the United States for the first six months of 2014 as our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets continue to be covered by valuation allowances.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes
Income (loss) from discontinued operations decreased $30.0 million in the first six months of 2014 primarily due to the $23.6 million gain recorded in 2013 related to the sale of Willbros Middle East Limited, which held our operations in Oman. The decrease was also related, in part, to an $8.2 million loss on the sale of CTS, which was recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The overall decrease was partially offset by reduced losses attributed to the MPRP Project, period-over-period.

Segment Results
Oil & Gas Segment
Contract revenue increased $108.6 million during the first six months of 2014 primarily related to higher utilization in our cross-country pipeline, facilities, and downstream services.
Operating loss increased $7.3 million during the first six months of 2014 primarily related to losses generated by the deterioration of two significant pipeline construction projects. This decrease was partially offset by improved performance within our downstream services in comparison to the first six months of 2013.

Utility T&D Segment
Contract revenue decreased $33.3 million in the first six months of 2014 driven primarily by a reduction in activity in our electric transmission construction services related to the completion of two Texas CREZ transmission construction projects in the same period last year. The decrease was partially offset by growth in distribution MSA work in Texas and the Mid-Atlantic region.
Operating income decreased $7.6 million in the first six months of 2014 driven primarily by the completion of two Texas CREZ transmission construction projects referenced above. The decrease was partially offset by improved margins associated with distribution MSA work.

Professional Services Segment
Contract revenue increased $21.6 million in the first six months of 2014 primarily from increased demand and growth in our engineering, integrity and EPC service offerings partially offset by decreased activity in government services mainly related to the delayed start of projects under contract.
Operating income increased $1.1 million in the first six months of 2014 as a result of strong execution and performance on our engineering, integrity and EPC projects. The increase was partially offset by increased losses in our government services mainly due to the delayed start of projects under contract.

Canada Segment
Contract revenue increased $12.9 million in the first six months of 2014 primarily attributed to the continued large volume of work on all lines of service including several specialty service and lump-sum projects.
Operating income increased $9.9 million in the first six months of 2014 primarily due to increased profitability in a number of service offerings including fabrication, electrical and instrumentation and other tanks, facilities, projects and specialty services.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Additional Sources and Uses of Capital
On August 7, 2013 we entered into a five-year $150.0 million asset based senior revolving credit facility maturing on August 7, 2018 (the “ABL Credit Facility”), and a six-year $250.0 million term loan facility maturing on August 7, 2019 (the “2013 Term Loan Facility” and, together with the ABL Credit Facility, the “2013 Credit Facilities”).

39

ABL Credit Facility
The initial aggregate amount of commitments for the ABL Credit Facility is comprised of $125.0 million for the U.S. facility (the “U.S. Facility”) and $25.0 million for the Canadian facility (the “Canadian Facility”). The ABL Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $100.0 million for letters of credit and includes an accordion feature permitting the borrowers, under certain conditions, to increase the aggregate amount by an incremental $75.0 million, with additional commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from lenders reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent. The borrowers under the U.S. Facility consist of all of the Company’s U.S. operating subsidiaries with assets included in the borrowing base and the U.S. Facility is guaranteed by Willbros Group, Inc. and its material U.S. subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries. The borrower under the Canadian Facility is Willbros Construction Services (Canada) LP and the Canadian Facility is guaranteed by Willbros Group, Inc. and all of its material U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries.
Advances under the U.S. and Canadian Facility are limited to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of 85 percent of the value of “eligible accounts” and 60 percent of the value of “eligible unbilled accounts” less applicable reserves, which the administrative agent may establish from time to time in its permitted discretion. Eligible unbilled accounts may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate. Advances in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate equal to London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the U.S. or Canadian base rate plus an additional margin. Advances in Canadian dollars bear interest at the Bankers Acceptance (“BA”) Equivalent Rate or the Canadian prime rate plus an additional margin.
The interest rate margins are adjusted each quarter based on our fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of the previous quarter as follows: 
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
 
U.S. Base Rate, Canadian
Base Rate and Canadian
Prime Rate Loans
 
LIBOR Loans, BA Rate Loans and
Letter of Credit Fees
>1.25 to 1
 
1.25%
 
2.25%
<1.25 to 1 and 1.15 to 1
 
1.50%
 
2.50%
<1.15 to 1
 
1.75%
 
2.75%
The borrowers will also pay an unused line fee on each of the U.S. and Canadian Facilities equal to 50 basis points when usage under the applicable facility during the preceding calendar month is less than 50 percent of the commitments or 37.5 basis points when usage under the applicable facility equals or exceeds 50 percent of the commitments for such period. With respect to the letters of credit, the borrowers will pay a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable LIBOR margin, shown in the table above, on all letters of credit and a 0.125 percent fronting fee to the issuing bank, in each case, payable monthly in arrears.
Obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in the borrowers’ and guarantors’ accounts receivable, deposit accounts and similar assets (the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and a second priority security interest in the borrowers’ and guarantors’ equipment, inventory, subsidiary capital stock and intellectual property, which is subject to the first priority security interest of the collateral agent for the 2013 Term Loan Facility ( the “Term Loan Priority Collateral”).

2013 Term Loan Facility
The 2013 Term Loan Facility provides for a $250.0 million term loan, which we drew in full on the effective date of the credit agreement under the 2013 Term Loan Facility. Term loans were issued at a discount such that the funded portion was equal to 96.5 percent of the principal amount of the term loans. The borrower under the Term Loan Facility is Willbros Group, Inc. with all of its obligations guaranteed by all of its material U.S. subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries. The 2013 Credit Facilities permit the Company under certain conditions, to add one or more incremental term loans to the 2013 Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million.
The term loans are repayable in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 0.25 percent of the original amount of the 2013 Term Loan Facility. The balance of the 2013 Term Loan Facility is repayable on August 7, 2019. We are permitted to make optional prepayments at any time, subject to a variable prepayment premium if the prepayment is made prior to August 6, 2016. Mandatory prepayments of term loans are required from (i) 100 percent of the proceeds of the sale of assets constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, subject to reinvestment provisions and certain exceptions and thresholds, (ii) 100 percent of the net cash proceeds from issuances of debt by us and our subsidiaries, other than permitted indebtedness and (iii) 75 percent (with step-downs to 50 percent and 0 percent based on a leverage ratio) of annual “excess cash flow” provided that any voluntary prepayments of term loans will be credited against excess cash flow obligations. Mandatory prepayments of

40

excess cash flow are payable within five business days after annual financial statements are delivered to the administrative agent beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
The term loans will bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin, or the “Eurodollar Rate” plus an applicable margin. The ABR is the highest of (i) the rate announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for a period of one month plus 1.0 percent and (iv) 2.25 percent. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate for Eurodollar deposits for a period equal to one, two, three or six months, as selected by Willbros Group, Inc. The applicable margin for ABR loans is 8.75 percent, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans is 9.75 percent.
Obligations under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in the Term Loan Priority Collateral and a second priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral.

Our primary sources of capital are cash on hand, operating cash flows, and borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2014, we had $30.0 million in outstanding revolver borrowings. Our unused availability under our June 30, 2014 borrowing base certificate was $47.1 million on a borrowing base of $142.9 million and outstanding letters of credit of $65.8 million.

If our unused availability under the ABL Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 15 percent of the revolving commitments or $22.5 million for five consecutive days, or (ii) 12.5 percent of the revolving commitments or $18.8 million at any time, or upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the ABL Credit Facility, we are subject to increased reporting requirements, the administrative agent shall have exclusive control over any deposit account, we will not have any right of access to, or withdrawal from, any deposit account, or any right to direct the disposition of funds in any deposit account, and amounts in any deposit account will be applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the ABL Credit Facility.

In the second quarter of 2014, we made an early payment of $25.0 million against our 2013 Term Loan Facility through proceeds received through the sale of CTS. As a result of this early payment, we recorded debt extinguishment costs of $0.9 million, which consisted of Original Issue Discount and financing costs.
On November 12, 2014, we entered into a commitment letter (the "Commitment Letter") whereby we expect that we may be able to obtain a new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $270.0 million (the "2014 Term Loan Facility"). Proceeds under the 2014 Term Loan Facility would be used to refinance the loans outstanding under the 2013 Term Loan Facility, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing, and to provide us with additional working capital. Consummation of the 2014 Term Loan Facility is subject to customary closing conditions and we can provide no assurance that we will successfully complete the refinancing.

Debt Covenants and Events of Default
A default under the 2013 Credit Facilities may be triggered by events such as a failure to comply with financial covenants or other covenants under the 2013 Credit Facilities, a failure to make payments when due under the 2013 Credit Facilities, a failure to make payments when due in respect of, or a failure to perform obligations relating to, debt obligations in excess of $15.0 million, a change of control, and certain insolvency proceedings. A default under the ABL Credit Facility would permit the lenders to terminate their commitment to make cash advances or issue letters of credit, require the immediate repayment of any outstanding cash advances with interest and require the cash collateralization of outstanding letter of credit obligations. A default under the 2013 Term Loan Facility would permit the lenders to require immediate repayment of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable thereunder.
Based on the decision to restate our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, we were in violation of certain technical covenants in the 2013 Credit Facilities which, among other things, require us to deliver financial statements in accordance with GAAP. As a result, effective December 1, 2014, the lenders under the 2013 ABL Credit Facility and the 2013 Term Loan Facility each waived any default or event of default resulting from the failure of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014 to conform to GAAP. Effective October 21, 2014, the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility also waived any default or event of default resulting from the failure of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014 to conform to GAAP.
On November 12, 2014, we amended, and obtained certain waivers under, the 2013 Term Loan Facility pursuant to a Waiver and Third Amendment (the "Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment modifies certain financial covenants and

41

waives any defaults or events of default under the 2013 Term Loan Facility as a result of the restatement of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.
The table below sets forth information with respect to the financial covenants included in the 2013 Credit Facilities, as modified by the Third Amendment, as well as the calculation of our performance in relation to the financial covenants at June 30, 2014. If the refinancing of the 2013 Term Loan Facility is completed, we expect that the covenant requirements under the 2014 Term Loan Facility will be the same as those described in the table below:
 
Covenants
Requirements
Actual Ratios
at June 30, 2014
Maximum Total Leverage Ratio(1) under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the ratio of Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility) should be equal to or less than:
3.00 to 1
2.64
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio(2) under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense as defined in the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility) should be equal to or greater than:
3.50 to 1
3.57
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio(3) under the ABL Credit Facility (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA less Capital Expenditures and cash income taxes to Consolidated Interest Expense, Restricted Payments made in cash and scheduled cash principal payments made on borrowed money as defined in the credit agreement for the ABL Credit Facility) should be equal to or greater than:
1.15 to 1
N/A
 
(1)
The Maximum Total Leverage Ratio increases to 4.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2014 and decreases to 4.00 to 1 as of September 30, 2015, 3.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2015, 3.25 to 1 as of March 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2016 and 2.75 to 1 as of September 30, 2016 and thereafter.
(2)
The Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio decreases to 2.75 to 1 as of September 30, 2014 and 2.00 to 1 as of December 31, 2014 and increases to 2.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2015, 2.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2016 and 3.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2016 and thereafter.
(3)
The Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is applicable only if excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility is less than the greater of 15 percent of the commitments or $22.5 million. In addition, prepayments of indebtedness under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are permitted if excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeds the greater of 20 percent of the commitments and $30.0 million and the borrowers and guarantors are in compliance with the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a pro forma basis immediately prior to and giving effect to the prepayment. Prepayments of indebtedness under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are permitted without restriction to the extent such prepayments are from the proceeds of dispositions of the Term Loan Priority Collateral.
As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2013 Credit Facilities. We expect to remain in compliance with the modified covenants for the next 12 months.
Depending on our financial performance, we may be required to request additional amendments or waivers for our financial covenants, dispose of assets or reduce overhead. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional amendments or waivers, complete asset sales or reduce sufficient amounts of overhead should it become needed.
The 2013 Credit Facilities also include customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including:
 
•
limitations on liens and indebtedness;
•
limitations on dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock;
•
limitations on capital expenditures; and
•
limitations on modifications of the documentation of the ABL Credit Facility.

Settlement Agreement
On March 29, 2012, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with WAPCo to settle the West Africa Gas Pipeline project litigation. The Settlement Agreement provides that we must make payments to WAPCo totaling $55.5 million of which $14.0 million was paid in 2012, $5.0 million was paid in 2013, and $3.8 million was paid in July 2014. The remaining $32.7 million is due at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014. We intend to fund the final payment due under the Settlement Agreement through cash flow from operations, proceeds from potential asset sales, or through available borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility. We would also have the ability to fund the final payment through proceeds received from the anticipated refinancing of our 2013 Term Loan Facility discussed above under the caption "2013 Term Loan Facility".

42

For additional information regarding the Settlement Agreement, see the discussion in Note 14 – Discontinued Operations.

Cash Balances
As of June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $28.3 million. Our cash and cash equivalent balances held in the United States and foreign countries were $18.2 million and $10.1 million, respectively. In 2011, we discontinued our strategy of reinvesting non-U.S. earnings in foreign operations.
Our working capital position for continuing operations increased $33.9 million to $237.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $203.3 million at December 31, 2013, largely attributable to increased accounts receivable and to an increase in unbilled revenue partially offset by increased accounts payable. We expect that our liquidity will improve as we increase our project billings and collections from customers.

Cash Flows
Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that use the local currency as the functional currency exclude the effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given period, as these are non-cash charges. As a result, changes reflected in certain accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows may not reflect the changes in corresponding accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Cash flows provided by (used in) continuing operations by type of activity were as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Operating Activities
Cash flow from operations is primarily influenced by demand for our services, operating margins and the type of services we provide, but can also be influenced by working capital needs such as the timing of collection of receivables and the settlement of payables and other obligations. Working capital needs are generally higher during the summer and fall months when the majority of our capital-intensive projects are executed. Conversely, working capital assets are typically converted to cash during the late fall and winter months. Operating activities from continuing operations used net cash of $48.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $5.5 million provided during the same period of 2013. The $53.6 million decrease in cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily a result of the following:


43

•
A decrease in cash flow provided by accounts receivable of $91.5 million related to a decrease in customer cash collections during the period, specifically attributable to the timing of collections on one project in our Canada segment as well as extended payment terms on a project in our Oil & Gas segment;
•
An increase in cash flow used by prepaids and other assets of $18.5 million attributed primarily to changes in business activity as well as the timing of prepaid policies; and
•
A decrease in cash flow provided by continuing operations of $10.2 million related to an increase in net loss, adjusted for any non-cash items.
This was partially offset by:
 
•
A decrease in cash flow used by accounts payable of $54.5 million attributed primarily to a decrease of cash payments to vendors during the period as we balance our receivable collections with our vendor payments; and
•
A decrease in cash flow used by contracts in progress of $11.4 million primarily related to increased billings on projects during the period.

Investing Activities
Investing activities provided net cash of $41.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $34.7 million provided during the same period in 2013. The $6.9 million increase in cash flow provided by investing activities is primarily the result of the difference between the proceeds from sales of subsidiaries in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the first six months of 2013. We received $21.2 million in proceeds for the sale of the Hawkeye business in the first quarter of 2014 and $25.0 million in proceeds for the sale of the CTS business in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $38.9 million in proceeds received in the first quarter of 2013 for the sale of Willbros Middle East Limited, which held our operations in Oman.

Financing Activities
Financing activities used net cash of $19.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $44.0 million used during the same period of 2013. The $24.4 million decrease in cash flow used in financing activities is primarily a result of the $51.1 million decrease in payments against our revolver and notes payable during the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. This decrease was partially offset by a $28.5 million increase in payments against our Term Loan during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Discontinued Operations
Cash flows provided by discontinued operations increased $7.3 million in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. This increase was primarily due to the receipt of $17.0 million in settlement proceeds from the Central Maine Power Company, partially offset by continued losses attributed to the MPRP Project.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest Rate Swaps
We are subject to hedging arrangements to fix or otherwise limit the interest cost of our variable interest rate borrowings. We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt and investment of cash and cash equivalents arising in the normal course of business. We do not engage in speculative trading strategies.
In August 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $124.1 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $124.1 million of our existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under the swap agreement, which is effective June 30, 2014 through August 7, 2019, we receive interest at either one-month LIBOR or 1.25 percent (whichever is greater) and pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.84 percent. The swap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedging instrument with the effective portion of the swap’s change in fair value recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). The swap is highly effective in offsetting changes in interest expense and no hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts in OCI will be reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized.
In September 2010, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $150.0 million of our then existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under each swap agreement, we received interest at either three-month LIBOR or 2 percent (whichever is greater) and paid interest at a fixed rate of 2.68 percent through June 30, 2014. Through August 7, 2013, the swap agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of the swaps’ change in fair value recorded in OCI.

44

Amounts in OCI are reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized during the period when the swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Through August 7, 2013, the swaps were highly effective hedges, and only an immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. On August 7, 2013, the swaps were de-designated due to the refinancing of the underlying debt, which decreased the interest rate floor from 2 percent to 1.25 percent. In addition, on August 7, 2013, each swap agreement was transferred to another party through a novation transaction, which increased our interest rate to 2.70 percent through June 30, 2014. Changes in the value of the swaps that remain open are reported in earnings and were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
The carrying amount and fair value of these swap agreements are equivalent since we account for these instruments at fair value. The values are derived from pricing models using inputs based upon market information, including contractual terms, market prices and yield curves. The inputs to the valuation pricing models are observable in the market, and as such are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For validation purposes, the swap valuations are periodically compared to those produced by swap counterparties. Amounts of OCI relating to the interest rate swaps expected to be recognized in interest expense in the coming twelve months totaled $1.9 million.

Capital Requirements
Our financing objective is to maintain financial flexibility to meet the material, equipment and personnel needs to support our project and MSA commitments. Our primary source of capital is our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility.
Our industry is capital intensive and we expect the need for substantial capital expenditures to continue into the foreseeable future to meet the anticipated demand for our services. As such, we are focused on the following significant capital requirements:
 
•
Providing working capital for projects in process and those scheduled to begin in 2014; and
•
Funding our 2014 capital budget of approximately $28.8 million of which $20.8 million remained unspent as of June 30, 2014.
We believe that our financial results combined with our current liquidity and financial management will provide sufficient funds to enable us to meet our future operating needs and our planned capital expenditures, as well as facilitate our ability to grow in the foreseeable future even if we are unsuccessful in receiving additional working capital in connection with the anticipated refinancing of our 2013 Term Loan Facility discussed above under the caption "2013 Term Loan Facility".

Contractual Obligations
Other commercial commitments, as detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, did not materially change except for payments made in the normal course of business.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 3 – New Accounting Pronouncements in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q/A for a summary of any recently issued accounting standards.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q/A includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q/A that address activities, events or developments which we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), oil, gas, gas liquids and power prices, demand for our services, the amount and nature of future investments by governments, expansion and other development trends of the oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries, business strategy, expansion and growth of our business and operations, the outcome of legal proceedings and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses we made in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. As a result, actual results could differ materially from our expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contemplated by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
•
curtailment of capital expenditures and the unavailability of project funding in the oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries;
•
project cost overruns, unforeseen schedule delays and the application of liquidated damages;
•
failure to obtain the timely award of one or more projects;
•
increased capacity and decreased demand for our services in the more competitive industry segments that we serve;
•
reduced creditworthiness of our customer base and higher risk of non-payment of receivables;
•
inability to lower our cost structure to remain competitive in the market or to achieve anticipated operating margins;
•
inability of the energy service sector to reduce costs when necessary to a level where our customers’ project economics support a reasonable level of development work;
•
inability to predict the timing of an increase in energy sector capital spending, which results in staffing below the level required to service such an increase;
•
reduction of services to existing and prospective clients when they bring historically out-sourced services back in-house to preserve intellectual capital and minimize layoffs;
•

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to hedging arrangements to fix or otherwise limit the interest cost of our existing variable interest rate borrowings. We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt and investment of cash and cash equivalents arising in the normal course of business. We do not engage in speculative trading strategies.
Under our 2013 Credit Facilities, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately $0.3 million. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would decrease interest expense by $0.3 million.
In August 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $124.1 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $124.1 million of our existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under the swap agreement, which is effective June 30, 2014 through August 7, 2019, we receive interest at either one-month LIBOR or 1.25 percent (whichever is greater) and pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.84 percent. The swap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedging instrument with the effective portion of the swap’s change in fair value recorded in OCI. The swap is highly effective in offsetting changes in interest expense and no hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Consolidated

47

Statements of Operations. Amounts in OCI will be reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized.
In September 2010, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $150.0 million of our then existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under each swap agreement, we were to receive interest at either three-month LIBOR or 2 percent (whichever was greater) and pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.68 percent through June 30, 2014. Through August 7, 2013, the swap agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of the swaps’ change in fair value recorded in OCI. Amounts in OCI were reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt were recognized during the period when the swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Through August 7, 2013, the swaps were highly effective hedges, and only an immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On August 7, 2013, the swaps were de-designated due to the refinancing of the underlying debt, which decreased the interest rate floor from 2 percent to 1.25 percent. In addition, on August 7, 2013, each swap agreement was transferred to another party through a novation transaction, which increased our interest rate to 2.70 percent through June 30, 2014. Changes in the value of the swaps that remain open are reported in earnings and were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
The carrying amount and fair value of the swap agreements are equivalent since we account for these instruments at fair value. The fair value of the swap agreements was $4.1 million at June 30, 2014 and was based on using a model with Level 2 inputs including quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the fair value of the swaps by $3.5 million. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates (subject to minimum rates of zero) would decrease the fair value of the swaps by $2.7 million.

Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in non-U.S. (primarily Canada) currency exchange rates. To mitigate our risk, we may borrow Canadian dollars under our Canadian Facility to settle U.S. dollar account balances.
We attempt to negotiate contracts which provide for payment in U.S. dollars, but we may be required to take all or a portion of payment under a contract in another currency. To mitigate non-U.S. currency exchange risk, we seek to match anticipated non-U.S. currency revenue with expense in the same currency whenever possible. To the extent we are unable to match non-U.S. currency revenue with expense in the same currency, we may use forward contracts, options or other common hedging techniques in the same non-U.S. currencies. We had no forward contracts or options at June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Other
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value at June 30, 2014 due to the generally short maturities of these items. At June 30, 2014, we invested primarily in short-term dollar denominated bank deposits. We have the ability and expect to hold our investments to maturity

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
In connection with filing the original Form 10-Q on August 4, 2014, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision of, and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2014. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.
Subsequent to that evaluation, in connection with the restatement discussed in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial

48

Statements included in this Form 10-Q/A, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, our Oil & Gas segment incorrectly estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for two significant pipeline construction projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As a result, we did not maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting by the aforementioned segment. Specifically, we did not adequately perform project oversight reviews and monitor compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures around estimating total revenues, costs and profits at completion for these pipeline construction projects. As discussed in Note 2, these control deficiencies resulted in the restatement of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Additionally, these control deficiencies, if not corrected, could result in misstatement of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement in our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, we have concluded that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plans for Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In response to the identified material weakness described above, our management, with oversight from the Company’s Audit Committee, will complete training for all appropriate personnel within our Oil & Gas segment regarding the application of the Company’s policies and procedures for the oversight and monitoring of the determination of estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
Until the remediation step set forth above is fully implemented and concluded to be operating effectively, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the identification of the material weakness identified above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014.
