Table of Contents

Effective as of January 1, 2013, our Board of Directors determined to change from a traditional month-end calendar close cycle to a 4-4-5 calendar close methodology during interim periods. Our fiscal year will continue to end on December 31. Under this methodology, each interim period is comprised of 13 weeks, which includes two 4-week months and one 5-week month, and begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. The 4-4-5 close methodology will change the accounting periods to month-end dates that would be different than the traditional last day of the standard month end. We will label our quarterly information using a calendar convention, that is, first quarter will be labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. This change in methodology aligns our financial calendar to our payroll cycle simplifying our close process. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist within a reporting year. The reporting periods and applicable reports for 2014 are:

Fiscal Period	Reporting Period	Report to be Filed
First quarter of fiscal 2014	January 1, 2014 to March 30, 2014	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Second quarter of fiscal 2014	March 31, 2014 to June 29, 2014	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Third quarter of fiscal 2014	June 30, 2014 to September 28, 2014	Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Fourth quarter of fiscal 2014	September 29, 2014 to December 31, 2014	Annual Report on Form 10-K

Acquisitions: During 2013, we completed the following acquisitions:

Business Acquired	Date of Closing	Net Assets Acquired (in millions)		Primary Form of Consideration
IBI, LLC	July 9, 2013	$	18.6	Cash
Hetsco Holdings, Inc.	April 30, 2013	$	32.4	Cash

Each of the acquired businesses has been included in our results of operations since the date of closing. Due to the timing of these acquisitions and related operating results, our 2014 and 2013 operating results are not entirely comparable. See Note 3—Acquisitions.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The information in the condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of such financial statements. We believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to represent materially correct interim financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Power and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could vary materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years consolidated balances to conform with the current year presentation.

Discontinued Operations Presentation: In August 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of our Deltak L.L.C. (“Deltak”) business unit. Discontinued operations are presented net of tax. The following notes relate to our continuing operations only unless otherwise noted.

Dollar Amounts: All dollar amounts (except share and per share amounts) presented in the tabulations within the notes to our consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset to be tested for possible impairment, we first compare undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. We group long-lived assets by legal entity for purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss as this is the lowest level for which cash flows are independent.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill is not amortized to expense, but rather, we test goodwill for impairment annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant. Impairment write-downs are charged to results of operations in the period in which the impairment is determined.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we changed our annual impairment testing date from December 31 to the first day of the fourth quarter, which we label as October 1.

Table of Contents

In 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which provides entities with the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment option and continue performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test.

In connection with our reportable segments, we also assess our reporting units that are operating segments or one level below the operating segment for impairment testing. We consider the management of operating activities, discrete financial information, similarities of economic characteristics, and the nature of the products, production processes, customers, distribution and regulatory environments. For impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets we test TOG as a separate reporting unit from Product Solutions with the remainder tested as the Auxiliary Products and Electrical Solutions product lines. We test Hetsco as a separate reporting unit from Energy Solutions with the remainder tested as the Industrial Solutions reporting unit, and we test the Nuclear Solutions segment as a reporting unit.

We did not identify any impairment of our recorded goodwill from our most recent annual testing, which was performed as of October 1, 2013. If certain events occur which might indicate goodwill has been impaired, the goodwill is tested for impairment when such events occur. We have not identified any such events and, accordingly, have not tested goodwill for impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2014, the FASB issued ASC Update 2014-06 “Technical Corrections and Improvements Related to Glossary Terms” (the “Update”). The amendments in the Update relate to glossary terms and cover a wide range of Topics in the Codification. These amendments are presented in four sections — Deletion of Master Glossary Terms (Section A), Addition of Master Glossary Term Links (Section B), Duplicate Master Glossary Terms (Section C), and Other Technical Corrections Related to Glossary Terms (Section D). The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Master Glossary of the Codification, or make improvements to the Master Glossary that are not expected to result in substantive changes to the application of existing guidance or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments will make the Master Glossary easier to understand, as well as reduce the number of terms that appear in the Master Glossary. The amendments resulting from this Update do not have transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance for both public and private companies. The immediate adoption of this standard in March 2014 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, and there was no material impact to our financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS

During 2013, we acquired 100% equity in two businesses, which included one products company and one industrial gas services company, all based in the U.S. These acquisitions allow us to expand our products and service offerings internationally and in the U.S. A summary of the acquisitions is as follows:

Business Acquired	Date of Closing	Net Assets Acquired (in millions)		Segment	Primary Form of Consideration
IBI, LLC	July 9, 2013	$	18.6	Product Solutions	Cash
Hetsco Holdings, Inc.	April 30, 2013	$	32.4	Energy Services	Cash

Each of the acquired businesses has been included in our results of operations since the date of closing. Due to the timing of each acquisition and related operating results, our 2014 and 2013 operating results are not entirely comparable.

On July 9, 2013, we acquired IBI Power, a leading manufacturer of custom power packaging and integration solutions, including control house systems, generator enclosures and industrial tanks. The aggregate consideration paid consisted of $18.6 million in cash, after final working capital adjustments and other adjustments of which $0.7 million was paid in January, 2014. IBI merged with and into Koontz-Wagner and its financial results are included in our Product Solutions segment as of the acquisition date.

On April 30, 2013, we acquired Hetsco, a global provider of mission critical brazed aluminum heat exchanger repair, maintenance and safety services to the industrial gas, liquefied natural gas and petrochemical industries. The aggregate acquisition price consisted of $32.4 million in cash, after final working capital adjustments. The financial results of the Hetsco acquisition have been included in our Energy Services segment as of the acquisition date.

We funded the purchase of the IBI Power and Hetsco acquisitions (together, the “2013 Acquisitions”) through a combination of cash on hand and draws on our $150.0 million credit facility (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the 2013 Acquisitions and presents an allocation of these amounts to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on the estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates.

	2013 Acquisition Activity
	Hetsco Inc.			IBI Power			Total

Current assets	$	7,733		$	8,304		$	16,037
Property, plant and equipment	867			2,822			3,689
Identifiable intangible assets	22,800			9,300			32,100
Goodwill	12,997			4,542			17,539

Total assets acquired	44,397			24,968			69,365

Other long-term liabilities	(1,089		)	—			(1,089		)

Net assets acquired	$	32,398		$	18,641		$	51,039

The purchase price was preliminarily allocated based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. These allocations require the significant use of estimates and are based on the information that was available to management at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. The estimated fair values and useful lives acquired have been supported by third party valuation. The fair values remain subject to potential adjustments including, but not limited to, assessment of income tax related assets and liabilities.

Acquired intangible assets in 2013 of $32.1 million consisted of customer relationships, trade names and noncompete agreements. The amortization period for these intangible assets, except trade names which are indefinite, ranges from five to seven years. We recorded $1.2 million of amortization expense related to these intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The major classes of intangible assets are as follows:

	Weighted Average
($ in thousands)	Amortization Years	At Date of Acquisition
Customer Relationships	7	$	19,200
Trade Names	Indefinite	11,000
Noncompetes	5	1,900
		$	32,100

The estimated future aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets from the 2013 Acquisitions as of March 31, 2014 is set forth below:

· an increase in amortization expense due to the incremental intangible assets recorded related to the 2013 acquisitions of IBI Power and Hetsco,

· a change in depreciation expense relating to the net impact of adjusting acquired property and equipment to the acquisition date fair values,

· adjustments to reflect the impact of $1.7 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of IBI Power and Hetsco,

· adjustments to tax effect the pro forma results of the acquisition of IBI Power and Hetsco at Global Power’s estimated domestic statutory tax rate of 39% for all periods, and

· a net increase in stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock granted as a part of the Hetsco acquisition offset by a reduction in stock compensation expense resulting from the cancellation of Hetsco’s previous stock grants.

The unaudited pro forma results do not include any adjustments to eliminate the impact of cost savings or other synergies that may result from the 2013 Acquisitions. As noted above, the unaudited pro forma results of operations do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined company for the periods presented or that may be achieved by the combined company in the future.

NOTE 4—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted to include the incremental effect of common shares that would be issued upon the conversion of warrants and the vesting and release of restricted stock awards.

Table of Contents

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands, except per share data)	2014				2013

Net loss:

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were 147,611 outstanding stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per common share. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, there were 501,041 outstanding stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per common share. Excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per common share are the unvested performance-based, both Operating Margin and Relative TSR Performance Objective, restricted stock awards for which performance targets had not been set by the Board of Directors of 255,084 as of March 31, 2014. There were 60,370 performance-based stock awards outstanding as of March 31, 2013.

NOTE 5 –INCOME TAXES

The overall effective income tax rate for continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014	2013
Effective income tax rate	25.1%	34.0%

The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily because of state and foreign income taxes and permanent differences.

As of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, we would need to generate approximately $81.4 million and $104.2 million, respectively, of future financial taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.

As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we provided for a liability of $4.7 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal, foreign and state income tax matters, which was included in long-term deferred tax assets and other long-term liabilities. If recognized, the entire amount of the liability would affect the effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2014, we had accrued approximately $2.3 million in other long-term liabilities for potential payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

NOTE 6—DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, we had $25.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we borrowed $12.0 million on our Revolving Credit and we repaid $10.0 million of the $12.0 million in March 2014. The weighted average borrowings were 2.5%.

The Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings up to $150.0 million, subject to outstanding standby letters of credit and other restrictions. The facility has a $75.0 million revolving letter of credit facility and provides access to multi-currency funds. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 21, 2017.

We are subject to interest rate changes on our LIBOR-based variable interest rate under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, a maximum of $115.9 million was available under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our ability to borrow this maximum amount is governed by a number of provisions of our Revolving Credit Facility, some of which have the effect of limiting the amount that we can borrow based upon such factors as the Company’s compliance with certain leverage ratios and other financial covenants or the use of the proceeds of the relevant drawdown, in each case as of a particular date or time. In practice, these provisions of our Revolving Credit Facility mean that we may not be permitted to borrow the full $150.0 million of our Revolving Credit Facility and the amount we are allowed to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility will likely be materially less than the difference between our actual borrowings and $150.0 million for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2014, we pay an unused line fee of .20% pursuant to the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility.

Letters of Credit and Bonds. In line with industry practice, we are often required to provide letters of credit, surety and performance bonds to customers. These letters of credit and bonds provide credit support and security for the customer if we fail to perform our obligations under the applicable contract with such customer.

The interest rate on letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility letter of credit was 1.25% per annum as of March 31, 2014. Should we need to borrow additional amounts against the Revolving Credit Facility, we would incur an interest rate of LIBOR or a specified base rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility includes additional margin ranges on base rate loans between 0.25% and 1.25% and between 1.25% and 2.25% on LIBOR-based loans.

As of March 31, 2014, our outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaled approximately $9.1 million for our U.S. entities and $5.9 million (U.S. dollars) for non-U.S. entities. Currently there are no amounts drawn upon these letters of credit. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, we had outstanding surety bonds on projects of approximately $29.6 million.

Deferred Financing Costs. As of March 31, 2014, we had unamortized deferred financing fees on our Revolving Credit Facility of $0.7 million and interest expense associated with the amortization of less than $0.1 million for the three months ending March 31, 2014 and none for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims: We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be predicted, and therefore, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

Deltak Claims: By purchase agreement dated August 5, 2011, referred to as the 2011 Purchase Agreement, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Deltak business unit to Hamon Acquisitions, Inc. (n/k/a Hamon Deltak, Inc.) (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hamon & Compagnie International SA) (the “Buyer”). Under the 2011 Purchase Agreement, we retained certain liabilities relating to the assets sold to the Buyer. The 2011 Purchase Agreement established escrow accounts totaling $7.0 million set aside for contingencies, of which $6.2 million was initially subject to a five year escrow term and $0.8 million was subject to scheduled releases. We previously recorded $3.1 million in short-term restricted cash and $3.8 million, which was subject to a five year escrow term, was previously recorded in other long-term assets. During 2013, we received two claims for indemnification from the Buyer in connection with the activities of our Deltak business unit. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, $0.1 million of the remaining escrow was classified as short-term restricted cash as of December 31, 2013. On February 4, 2014, less than $0.1 million of the purchase price held in escrow related to the sale of the assets of Deltak was released to Global Power.

Table of Contents

Asbestos Cases: A former operating unit of Global Power has been named as a defendant in a limited number of asbestos personal injury lawsuits. Neither we nor our predecessors ever mined, manufactured, produced or distributed asbestos fiber, the material that allegedly caused the injury underlying these actions. The bankruptcy court’s discharge order issued upon emergence from bankruptcy extinguished the claims made by all plaintiffs who had filed asbestos claims against us before that time. We also believe the bankruptcy court’s discharge order should serve as a bar against any later claim filed against us, including any of our subsidiaries, based on alleged injury from asbestos at any time before emergence from bankruptcy. In any event in all of the asbestos cases finalized post-bankruptcy, we have been successful in having such cases dismissed without liability. Moreover, during 2012, we secured insurance coverage that will help to reimburse the defense costs and potential indemnity obligations of our former operating unit relating to these claims. We intend to vigorously defend all currently active actions, just as we defended the other actions that have since been dismissed, all without liability, and we do not anticipate that any of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any legal action cannot be predicted and, therefore, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

Contingencies: On June 28, 2013, we announced a change in senior leadership in our Nuclear and Energy Services segments. We subsequently filed a Form 8-K disclosing anticipated separation costs of approximately $0.5 million pursuant to a Separation Agreement relating to this change in leadership. On July 17, 2013, we rescinded the Separation Agreement and therefore have not accrued any of the previously disclosed separation costs in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Dividends: In May 2012, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend policy. The terms of our Revolving Credit Facility limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay and such terms are defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s cash dividends declared to common stockholders of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2014:

	Dividend Declaration Date	Dividend per Share		Date of Record for Dividend Payment	Dividend Cash Payment Date
Fiscal year 2014:	March 7, 2014	$	0.09	March 18, 2014	March 28, 2014

Dividend equivalents equal to the dividends payable on the same number of shares of our common stock were accrued on unvested restricted stock awards. No dividend equivalents are paid on any unvested restricted stock awards that are forfeited prior to the vesting date. Dividend equivalents are paid out in cash at the vesting date on restricted stock awards. A non-cash accrual of $0.2 million for unpaid dividend equivalents for unvested restricted stock awards was included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. In addition, accumulated dividend equivalents of less than $0.1 million were paid upon the vesting and release of 86,934 restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Stock Repurchase Program: In May 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to two million shares of our common stock until the earlier of June 30, 2014 or a determination by the Board of Directors to discontinue the repurchase program. We repurchased 421,731 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012 for $6.8 million under the repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock.

Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and results of operations are translated using an average rate during the period. Translation adjustments are accumulated and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. We had foreign currency translation adjustments resulting in a less than $0.1 million unrealized loss and $0.8 million unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our foreign earnings are considered permanently reinvested and, therefore, we do not have any corresponding deferred taxes for our unremitted earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation: During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we vested 66,167 shares of stock-based compensation to employees and recorded a $0.5 million non-cash accrual related to the payment of statutory taxes due on the awards that was unpaid as of March 31, 2014.

We granted 110,903 shares of restricted stock awards subject only to service conditions to employees and directors during the three months ended March 31, 2014 at a weighted-average fair value price per share of $19.66. These service-based restricted stock awards will vest ratably over one, three or four years.

Table of Contents

We also granted 90,623 restricted stock awards subject to performance conditions during the three months ended March 31, 2014 at a weighted-average fair value price per share of $19.89. Of these, 10,000 performance-based restricted stock awards will vest at the end of a one year performance period subject to meeting or exceeding a $30.0 million EBITDA target. The remaining 80,623 performance-based restricted stock awards will cliff vest at the end of a three year performance period subject to multiple target levels of operating margin. If the minimum target set in the agreement is not met, none of the shares would vest and no compensation expense would be recognized and any previously recognized compensation expense would be reversed. The actual number of shares that will ultimately vest is dependent on achieving fixed thresholds between the minimum and maximum performance condition and ranges between 0% and 200% the number of units originally granted. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to performance awards based upon our determination of the potential likelihood of achievement of the performance target at each reporting date, net of estimated forfeitures.

We also granted 80,623 market-based restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2014 which, in addition to being subject to continuing employment requirements are subject to a market condition in the form of a total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier. The actual number of shares that cliff vest at the end of the three-year vesting period is determined based on our TSR relative to the Russell 2000 over the related three-year performance period. Depending on the level of achievement, the actual number of shares that vest may range from 0% to 200% of the awards originally granted.

We estimate the fair value of our market-based restricted stock awards on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. This pricing model uses multiple simulations to evaluate our probability of achieving various stock price levels to determine our expected TSR performance ranking. Expense is only recorded for the number of market-based restricted stock awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of market-based restricted stock awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were as follows:

Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2014
Expected term (years)		2.75
Expected volatility		34.7%
Expected dividend yield		0.0%
Risk-free interest rate		0.79%
Weighted-average grant date fair value		$ 25.71

Product Solutions segment customers include Siemens Energy, Inc. and General Electric Company. Customers for the Nuclear Services segment and Energy Services segment are varied, but include some major utility companies within the U.S. Our major customers vary over time due to the relative size and duration of our projects and customer outages. The Nuclear Services segment and Energy Services segment customers include Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Tennessee Valley Authority, and Florida Power and Light Company.

NOTE 11—SEGMENT INFORMATION

We follow ASC 280—Segment Reporting, to present segment information. We considered the way our management team, most notably our chief operating decision maker, makes operating decisions and assesses performance and considered which components of our enterprise have discrete financial information available. As management makes decisions using a products and services group focus, our analysis resulted in three reportable segments: the Product Solutions segment, the Energy Services segment, and the Nuclear Services segment. The Product Solutions segment consists of two product categories: Auxiliary Products and Electrical Solutions. The financial results of the 2013 Acquisitions have been included in their respective segment as of their respective acquisition dates.

For all periods presented, we have excluded the results of operations of our discontinued operations. As a result of our 2011 disposal of the Deltak business unit, certain corporate and other operating costs were reallocated for all periods presented to our continuing operations. In addition, management also reevaluated our primary measure of segment performance and determined that EBITDA should be used as the best measure of segment performance.

The accounting policies for our segments are the same as those described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Our operations are based on discrete projects subject to contract awards of varying scopes and values. Business volume fluctuates due to many factors, including the mix of work and project schedules, which are dependent on the level and timing of customer releases of new projects. Significant fluctuations may occur from period to period in revenue, gross profit and operating results and such fluctuations are discussed below.

Acquisitions

On July 9, 2013, we acquired IBI Power, a leading manufacturer of custom power packaging and integration solutions, including control house systems, generator enclosures and industrial tanks. The addition of IBI Power’s packaged control house solutions broadens our customer base to switchgear original equipment manufacturers and adds backup power and distributed power applications to our products portfolio. The aggregate consideration, following a working capital adjustment and other adjustments, consisted of $18.6 million, of which $17.9 million was paid in the third quarter of 2013, and $0.7 million payable as of the fourth quarter of 2013 and paid in January 2014. We funded the purchase of IBI Power through a combination of cash on hand and a draw on our $150.0 million credit facility (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Following our fiscal year end, on January 1, 2014, IBI Power merged with and into Koontz-Wagner, with Koontz-Wagner surviving the Merger. IBI Power’s financial results have been included in the results of our Product Solutions segment as of the acquisition date.

On April 30, 2013, we acquired Hetsco, a global provider of mission critical brazed aluminum heat exchanger repair, maintenance, and safety services to the industrial gas, liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and petrochemical industries.

Hetsco’s repair and maintenance work further expands our scope of high-margin aftermarket services. The aggregate consideration paid, following a working capital adjustment, consisted of $32.4 million. We funded the purchase of the Hetsco acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and a draw on our Revolving Credit Facility. The financial results of Hetsco have been included in the results of our Energy Services segment as of the acquisition date.

The acquisition of IBI Power and Hetsco are collectively referred to as the “2013 Acquisitions.”

Business Strategy

Product Solutions Segment:

Our Product Solutions segment designs, engineers and manufactures two primary product categories, Auxiliary Products and Electrical Solutions, for the worldwide power generation and cogeneration, oil & gas process and industrial markets. Our principal customers are utility-scale gas turbine, distributed power, switchgear and large drives OEMs, Owner/Operators (including Oil & Gas Midstream), Electric Utilities and EPC firms as well as providers and distributors of backup and distributed power. We also provide precision parts, replacement parts, filter elements and aftermarket retrofit equipment to both OEMs and end users. Our products are critical to the efficient operation of gas turbine power plants and steam turbine systems and are custom engineered to meet customer-specific requirements.

Gas Turbine Auxiliary Products. Our technical and engineering capabilities enable us to design and manufacture what we believe are among the broadest ranges of gas turbine power plant and other power-related equipment to meet each customer’s specific performance requirements. We provide the following comprehensive range of products critical to the operation of gas turbine power plants:

· Inlet Systems. Inlet systems are comprised of filter houses and air intake ducts that condition the air that enters the turbine and provide silencing for the noise emanating from the gas turbine.

· Exhaust Systems. Exhaust systems and diverter dampers direct the hot exhaust from the turbine to the atmosphere in the case of simple cycle operation or into a heat recovery steam generator when the power plant is operated as a combined cycle facility and provides silencing as well.

Table of Contents

· Selective Catalytic Emission Reduction Systems. SCR systems are used in gas turbine facilities and are focused on removing oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide from exhaust gas.

· (PCH) Control Houses. (PCH) control houses are comprised of fabricated metal buildings to house electrical power and control equipment, namely switchgear, motor control centers, variable frequency drives, utilities for the gas turbine Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Utility and Renewables market segments.

· Generator Enclosures and Sub-Base Tanks. Generator enclosures are sound attenuated, acoustical buildings fabricated from metal and sound dampening materials to meet site sound requirements. The enclosures are used to house both prime and standby diesel/natural gas generators that range from 30KW — 4000KW in a wide range of environments from desert to arctic. Offered are sub-base and stand-alone tanks meeting UL listings UL142, UL2085 and ULC-S 601.

The contracts under which we sell our products are generally fixed-price contracts, most of which are “lump sum bid” contracts. Under lump sum bid contracts, we bid against other contractors based on customer or project specifications. A significant portion of our Product Solutions segment project destinations are outside of the U.S.

Supply Chain Structure. We fabricate our equipment through a combination of in-house manufacturing at our own facilities in the U.S. and Mexico and outsourced manufacturing in other countries around the world. Our network of high-quality international manufacturing partners, located in more than 20 countries, allows us to manufacture equipment worldwide and maintain a competitive cost structure. Outsourcing the majority of our gas turbine auxiliary product manufacturing enables us to meet increasing demand without being restricted by internal manufacturing capacity limitations and also reduces our capital expenditure requirements. Our employees work closely with our international manufacturing partners to supervise the fabrication of our products at their facilities to ensure high levels of quality and workmanship. Our use of manufacturing facilities around the world, whether our own or those of our manufacturing partners, allows us to respond to the particular sourcing initiatives of our customers, whether those initiatives call for global sourcing or for localized supply content. While we generally have proven long-term relationships with our subcontractors, we also routinely search for additional fabricators to enhance our ability to manufacture equipment at the lowest cost while maintaining high-quality standards and on-time delivery.

We maintain exclusivity agreements with respect to power generation auxiliary products with key third-party fabricators for OEMs. We conduct regular quality audits of our fabricators and maintain staff onsite. Fabricators can take one to several years to qualify and meet international standards and it can take one to two years to bring a new fabricator online for OEM products. We work with our international manufacturing partners to maintain their OEM certification and approved vendor status.

Our Product Solutions segment customers are utility-scale gas turbine, distributed power, switchgear and large drives OEMs, Owner/Operators (including Oil & Gas Midstream), Electric Utilities and EPC firms as well as providers and distributors of backup and distributed power. The end users of most of our products sold to OEMs and EPC firms are owners and operators of gas turbine power plants, process plants, oil & gas pipelines, refineries, data centers and other industrial and commercial facilities such as wastewater treatment plants and hospitals. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on OEMs and EPC firms engaged by end users of our products, including the developers and operators of gas turbine power plants, oil & gas pipelines, industrial and commercial facilities and data centers. We also market our products globally through a sales network consisting of employees and independent representatives in various countries including China, the Netherlands, Egypt, Italy and the U.S. Our sales initiatives focus on highly engineered solutions, excellent performance on existing projects and on-time deliveries that we believe differentiate us from our competitors.

We believe the design and engineering expertise of our Product Solutions segment along with our global manufacturing strategy makes us an industry leader in the products we manufacture. We provide original design, retrofit and upgrade engineering, installation technical services and after-sales maintenance and repair of our products.

Our products are custom-designed and engineered to meet the specifications of our customers. We employ a number of degreed engineers specializing in structural, electrical/controls, mechanical, and other technical areas. Our engineers and designers use engineering and drafting programs such as the AutoCAD® and Solidworks® programs and other analytics applications.

Nuclear Services and Energy Services Segments

Both our Nuclear Services and Energy Services segments provide a comprehensive range of modification, maintenance and construction support services. The Nuclear Services segment supports nuclear power plants and the Energy Services segment supports a wide range of utilities and industrial customers, including fossil-fuel, industrial gas, liquefied natural gas, petrochemical and other industrial operations. We provide these services in a general contracting capacity where we manage multiple subcontractors in some cases and in other cases we are retained as a subcontractor on the project. Both our Nuclear and Energy Services segments primarily service U.S.-based plants and perform tasks designed to improve or sustain operating efficiencies; a portion of the Energy Services segment generates revenues from off-shore repairs of installed aluminum heat exchangers, primarily in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Table of Contents

Services provided by the Nuclear and Energy Services segments are designed to improve or sustain operating efficiencies and extend the useful lives of process equipment in these facilities. These services are provided both on a constant presence basis and for discrete projects. Our offerings include the following specific services:

We provide these services throughout the U.S. with experienced, temporary craft labor directed and supervised by an experienced team of project managers across our network. Our flexible staffing and equipment model enables us to meet seasonal and outage demand without being restricted by internal capacity limitations, thus minimizing our fixed costs.

As of March 31, 2014, service contracts of our Nuclear Services segment consist of approximately 98% on a cost-plus basis, which provides for reimbursement of costs incurred plus an amount of profit in the form of a mark-up, and approximately 2% on a fixed-price basis. As of March 31, 2014, service contracts of the Energy Services segment consisted of approximately 74% on a cost-plus basis and approximately 26% on a fixed-price basis.

We bid against other contractors based on customer specifications. Fixed-price contracts present certain inherent risks, including the possibility of ambiguities in the specifications received, problems with new technologies and economic and other changes that may occur over the contract period. Alternatively, because of efficiencies that may be realized during the contract term, fixed-price contracts may offer greater profit potential than cost-plus contracts.

Table of Contents

Our Energy Services segment and Nuclear Services segment customers include major private and government-owned utilities throughout the U.S., as well as leaders in the U.S. paper and industrial sectors. We depend on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, Southern Nuclear Operating Company and Tennessee Valley Authority accounted for approximately 28% and 18%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue. For a listing of our major customers, see Note 10—Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on page 18. We market our services using dedicated sales and marketing personnel as well as our experienced on-site operations personnel. We use our safety and service track record with long-term renewable contracts to expand our services and supplement the existing contracts with small to medium sized capital projects. Both segments sales initiatives directly seek to apply operational strengths to specific facilities within the targeted industries and customers throughout the U.S.

Through our Energy Services segment programs, we provide extensive training, certifications and ongoing safety monitoring to all of our project-based employees.

For both the Energy Services segment and the Nuclear Services segment we have maintained a safety rating in the top quartile of the industry for over 12 years, benefitting both us and our customers. We also maintain a broad range of professional certifications and memberships in national organizations relevant to the performance of many of the specialized services we provide.

Backlog

Our backlog consists of firm orders or blanket authorizations from our customers. Backlog may vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period due to the timing of customer commitments. The time between receipt of an order and actual completion, or delivery, of our products varies from a few weeks, in the case of inventoried precision parts, to a year or more, in the case of custom designed gas turbine auxiliary products, SCR system and other major plant components. We add a booking to our backlog for Product Solutions segment orders when we receive a purchase order or other written contractual commitment from a customer. We reduce Product Solutions segment backlog as revenue is recognized, or upon cancellation. The maintenance services we provide through our Nuclear Services segment and Energy Services segment are typically carried out under long-term contracts spanning several years. Upon signing a multi-year maintenance contract with a customer for services, we add to our backlog only the first twelve months of work that we expect to perform under the contract. Additional work that is not identified under the original contract is added to our backlog when we reach an agreement with the customer as to the scope and pricing of that additional work. Capital project awards are typically defined in terms of scope and pricing at the time of contractual commitment from the customer. Upon receipt of a customer commitment, capital project bookings are added to our backlog at full contract value regardless of the time frame anticipated to complete the project. Maintenance services and capital project bookings are removed from our backlog as work is performed and revenue is recognized, or upon cancellation.

Backlog is not a measure defined by generally accepted accounting principles, and our methodology for determining backlog may vary from the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog amounts. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by our customers.

The following table shows our backlog, by segment, as of the end of the last five quarters:

	March 31,		December 31,		September 30,		June 30,		March 31,
($ in thousands)	2014		2013		2013		2013		2013
Products Solutions	$	187,560	$	176,621	$	174,907	$	145,307	$	130,198
Nuclear Services	174,503		196,674		215,389		243,331		235,077
Energy Services	20,890		17,028		18,105		20,226		21,989

Total	$	382,953	$	390,323	$	408,401	$	408,864	$	387,264

The increase in our Product Solutions segment backlog as of March 31, 2014 was primarily driven by increased selling efforts and long term projects in the power generation and oil and gas market segments. We expect an estimated $159.6 million or approximately 85% of our current backlog to convert to revenue in 2014. Proposal activity is robust for the oil and gas segment, as well as the power generation segment; we expect a heavier mix from the oil and gas and power generation segments to ship in 2014 or later. The book to bill ratio 1.3 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The decrease in Nuclear Services backlog from March 31, 2013 was primarily due to outage schedules of large utility customers as they had non-annual outages in the prior year. We expect an estimated $62.3 million backlog as of March 31, 2014 to convert to revenue beyond 2014. The book to bill ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 0.6 due to timing of large outages completed in the first quarter compared to bookings of outages and project work that have not yet been finalized.

Table of Contents

The increase in our Energy Services segment backlog as of March 31, 2014 was primarily due to construction projects expected to be completed in the second quarter. We estimate that $16.7 million of the Energy Services segment backlog will convert to revenue in 2014 with the remainder in 2015. The book-to-bill ratio of project awards added to backlog to services rendered was 1.4 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Total	$	38,931	$	38,894	37	0.1

Revenue for Product Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2014 remained relatively flat as compared to the same period last year.

Nuclear Services Segment Revenue. The decrease in Nuclear Services segment revenue was primarily due to an approximate $6.8 million reduction from a major customer on non-recurring projects for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The remaining variance was due to reduced scope of outages in the period. All revenue from this segment is U.S.-based.

Energy Services Segment Revenue.

The decrease in Energy Services segment revenue was primarily due to a large non-recurring project which was completed in the first quarter of 2013. This accounted for $6.8 million of the decrease which was partially offset by revenues of $3.6 million generated from the Hetsco acquisition.

Gross Profit / Margin %

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Variance
($ in thousands)	2014		2013		$	%
Product Solutions	$	9,871	$	5,957	3,914	65.7

Total Gross Profit	$	18,478	$	15,966	2,512	15.7

Gross Margin %	17.6%		13.7%

Product Solutions Segment. The gross profit in the Product Solutions segment increased for the first quarter of 2014 over the same period last year due primarily to product mix. Filter houses have consistently been produced at lower gross profit margins than exhaust systems. Filter house revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the prior year decreased $4.0 million. An increase in exhaust system revenue of $3.7 million resulted in an overall higher gross margin for the current quarter.

Nuclear Services Segment. The decrease in the Nuclear Services segment gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2014, was partially due to non-recurring projects, which impacted gross profit dollars by approximately $1.0 million. The remaining decrease is due to revenue mix as a higher portion of revenues were from outages which generate lower margins compared to construction support work which generated higher margins in the prior year.

Table of Contents

Energy Services Segment. The increase in Energy Services segment gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2014, was primarily due to revenue mix as Hetsco revenues produce a higher gross margin because of the specialized skill set necessary to do repairs and safety work versus lower margins on less specialized services provided. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit from non-recurring capital project work completed early in 2013.

Operating Expenses

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Variance
($ in thousands)	2014		2013		$	%
Selling and Marketing Expenses	$	1,823	$	2,223	(400)	(18.0)

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses	2,314		1,073		1,241	115.6
Total	$	17,891	$	17,850	41	0.2

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Consolidated selling and marketing expenses include the costs associated with selling and marketing our products and services. Major components of these costs are personnel, sales commissions, sales promotion, advertising, literature, bidding, estimating and trade shows. Consolidated selling and marketing expenses decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to vacant positions which are currently being recruited in the sales and marketing departments.

General and Administrative Expenses. Consolidated general and administrative expenses include the costs associated with conducting our business, including general management, compensation and benefits of employees that are not direct costs of active projects, officers and directors, legal and professional fees and other general expenses. Consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.8 million primarily due to a decrease in stock compensation and temporary services.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of definite-lived intangible assets and excludes amounts included in cost of revenue. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to additional amortization of certain intangible assets related to the 2013 Acquisitions.

Total	$	587	$	(1,884)	2,471	(131.2)

Product Solutions Segment. The increase in the Product Solutions segment operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to higher gross margins as a result of product mix. This change in product mix accounted for $2.8 million of the increase in operating profit. A decrease in operating expenses made up the majority of the remaining increase due to vacant positions which are currently being recruited in the sales and marketing department along with a decrease in stock compensation.

Nuclear Services Segment. Operating income for this segment increased from the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to the reduction in operating expenses which relate to lower salaries and wages partially offset by the lower revenues and gross margin achieved in the current quarter.

Energy Services Segment. The decrease in the Energy Services segment operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to the reduction in revenue and gross margins as a result of capital project work not repeated in 2014.

Other expense (income), net	$	270	$	(150)	420	(279.5)

The decline in other income, net during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to foreign currency adjustments.

Income Tax Benefit

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Variance
($ in thousands)	2014		2013		$	%
Income tax benefit	$	(24)	$	(619)	595	(96.2)

Income tax benefit for the interim periods is based on estimates of the effective tax rate during the entire fiscal year. The effective income tax rate is based upon the estimated income during the calendar year, the estimated composition of the income in different jurisdictions, and discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for settlements of tax audits or assessments and the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded an income tax benefit of less than $0.1, or 25.1% of pretax loss, compared to $0.6 million, or 34% of pretax loss, in the same period for 2013. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in permanent nondeductible expenses and a decrease of unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The effective tax rates in 2014 and 2013 differ from the statutory rate due to U.S. state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, and changes in uncertain tax benefit positions.

As of March 31, 2014, we would need to generate approximately $81.4 million of future financial taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were fully comprised of the Deltak business unit, divested on August 31, 2011 and consists of costs incurred on the wind-down of in-process contracts and legal and professional fee expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2014, our operating unrestricted cash and cash equivalents increased by 5.4%, or $0.8 million, to $14.7 million from $13.9 million as of December 31, 2013. The operating cash balance of $14.7 million as of March 31, 2014 consisted of non-U.S. cash; in general, these funds are not available to fund U.S. operations. Our principal use of cash is to pay for our strategic acquisitions, customer contract related material, labor and subcontract labor, operating expenses, capital assets, and payment of quarterly cash dividends. We fund our business objectives, operations, and expansion of our operations through net cash flows from operations and draws against our Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2014, we had $14.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $115.9 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility that can be used, along with normal cash flows from operations, to fund any unanticipated shortfalls in future cash flows.

Restricted Cash

The restricted cash balances as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, relate to the sale of Deltak in accordance with the Deltak sale agreement. The related escrow was a funding mechanism for settlement of warranty claims and other possible contractual claims. On February 4, 2014, a portion of the amount of the purchase price held in escrow related to the sale of the assets of Deltak was released to Global Power. See Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies to these consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the claims.

Revolving Credit Facility

Effective December 17, 2013, we exercised our rights under the accordion feature pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and increased the revolving credit commitments available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $150.0 million, subject to certain customary conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility. All other terms of the Revolving Credit Facility remain unchanged.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $25.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility which was recorded as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. We were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we borrowed $12.0 million on our Revolving Credit and we repaid $10.0 million of the $12.0 million in March 2014. The weighted average borrowings were 2.5%.

The Revolving Credit Facility, while structured to support strategic growth initiatives and provide flexibility regarding return on capital alternatives, includes affirmative and negative covenants, including customary limitations on securing additional debt and liens and restrictions on transactions and payments as well as the following two financial covenants:

· Our maximum consolidated leverage ratio cannot exceed specified limits. For these purposes, our consolidated leverage ratio on any date is the ratio of our consolidated funded indebtedness to our consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent quarters. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, net of interest income, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization.

· Our consolidated interest coverage ratio must be maintained at least at specified minimum levels. For these purposes, our consolidated interest coverage ratio is the ratio of (a) our consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent quarters to (b) our cash from consolidated interest expense (consisting of all Global Power interest) for that period.

We will be in default under the Revolving Credit Facility if we:

· fail to comply with any of these financial covenants;

· fail to comply with certain other customary affirmative or negative covenants;

· fail to make payments when due;

· experience a change of control; or

· become subject to insolvency proceedings.

For these purposes, a change of control will occur if any one person or group obtains control of more than 25% ownership, unless they were an investor on February 21, 2012 in which case the ownership percentage would need to be more than 40% for a change of control to occur, or if continuing directors cease to constitute at least a majority of the members of our Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

If we default, the participating banks may restrict our ability to borrow additional funds under the Revolving Credit Facility, require that we immediately repay all outstanding loans with interest and require the cash collateralization of outstanding letter of credit obligations. We have given a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets as security for the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2014, a maximum of $115.9 million was available under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our ability to borrow this maximum amount is governed by a number of provisions of our Revolving Credit Facility, some of which have the effect of limiting the amount that we can borrow based upon such factors as the Company’s compliance with certain leverage ratios and other financial covenants, or the use of the proceeds of the relevant drawdown, in each case, as of a particular date or time period. These provisions in our Revolving Credit Facility mean that we may not be permitted to borrow the full $150.0 million of our Revolving Credit Facility and the amount we are permitted to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility will likely result in our borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility being materially less than the difference between our actual borrowings and $150.0 million for the foreseeable future. We pay an unused line fee of 0.20% pursuant to the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility.

Letters of Credit and Bonds. In line with industry practice, we are often required to provide letters of credit, surety and performance bonds to customers. These letters of credit and bonds provide credit support and security for the customer if we fail to perform our obligations under the applicable contract with such customer. The interest rate on letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility letter of credit was 1.25% per annum as of March 31, 2014. Should we need to borrow additional amounts against the Revolving Credit Facility, we would incur an interest rate of LIBOR or a specified base rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility includes additional margin ranges on base rate loans between 0.25% and 1.25% and between 1.25% and 2.25% on LIBOR-based loans.

As of March 31, 2014, our outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaled approximately $9.1 million for our U.S. entities and $11.2 million (U.S. dollars) for non-U.S. entities. Currently there are no amounts drawn upon these letters of credit. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, we had outstanding surety bonds on projects of approximately $29.6 million.

We may review from time to time possible expansion and acquisition opportunities relating to our business. The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable. We may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt and/or equity issuances. Debt or equity financing may not, however, be available to us at that time due to a variety of events, including, among others, credit rating agency downgrades of our debt, industry conditions, general economic conditions, market conditions and market perceptions of us and our industry.

Working Capital

Working capital represents total current assets less total current liabilities. At March 31, 2014, our working capital increased by $2.3 million, or 2.1%, to $110.8 million from $108.4 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in working capital primarily related to an increase of $2.0 million of borrowings on the line of credit.

Net Cash Flows

Discontinued Operations

Cash flows provided by operating activities included operating cash flows from discontinued operations of less than $0.1 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Our net consolidated cash flows consisted of the following, for the three months ended March 31:

Our operating, investing, financing activities and effect of exchange rate changes are described in more detail below.

Table of Contents

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net earnings adjusted for noncash activities provided cash of $1.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively, and our working capital accounts used cash of $1.7 million and provided $7.7 million, respectively. See Note 9—Other Supplemental Information for more information regarding the net effect of changes in operating activities.

We expect that our net operating cash flows in 2014 and our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our current operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels. Certain events, such as the uncertainty of the worldwide economic environment, could impact our available cash or our ability to generate cash flows from operations.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we used $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, to purchase capital assets.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we used cash to pay dividends of $1.5 million and $0.5 million to repurchase stock-based awards for payment of statutory taxes due on stock-based compensation. Additionally, we borrowed $12.0 million and repaid $10.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we used cash to pay dividends of $1.5 million and $0.6 million to repurchase stock-based awards for payment of statutory taxes due on stock-based compensation.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the effect of exchange rate changes decreased cash by $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, primarily resulting from the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar.

Dividend and Stock Repurchases

In May 2012, our Board of Directors approved a dividend policy related to our common stock. On March 7, 2014 the Board declared dividends of $0.09 per share for shareholders of record as of the close of business March 18, 2014. The Company paid $1.5 million for this dividend on March 28, 2014.

Additionally, in May 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to two million shares of our common stock until the earlier of June 30, 2014 or a determination by the Board of Directors to discontinue the repurchase program. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. There were no repurchases during quarter ending March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, there were 1,578,269 shares remaining for repurchase under the current authorization.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Our liquidity is currently not dependent on the use of off-balance sheet transactions but, in line with industry practice, we are often required to provide performance and surety bonds to customers and may be required to provide letters of credit. If performance assurances are extended to customers, generally our maximum potential exposure is limited in the contract with our customers. We frequently obtain similar performance assurances from third party vendors and subcontractors for work performed in the ordinary course of contract execution. However, the total costs of a project could exceed our original cost estimates, and we could experience reduced gross profit or possibly a loss for a given project. In some cases, if we fail to meet certain performance standards, we may be subject to contractual liquidated damages.

As of March 31, 2014, we had a contingent liability for issued and outstanding stand-by letters of credit, generally issued to secure performance on customer contracts. As of March 31, 2014, our outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaled approximately $9.1 million for our U.S. entities and $5.9 million (U.S. dollars) for non-U.S. entities. Currently there are no amounts drawn upon these letters of credit. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, we had outstanding surety bonds on projects of approximately $29.6 million. Our subsidiaries provide financial guarantees for certain contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2014, the balance of these financial guarantees was no greater than $22.3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Table of Contents

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included under Note 2 on page F-11 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill is not amortized to expense, but rather, we test goodwill for impairment annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant. Impairment write-downs are charged to results of operations in the period in which the impairment is determined.

We determine fair values for each of the reporting units using an income approach. For purposes of the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reportable unit. We also use the market approach to estimate the remaining portion of our reporting unit valuation. This technique utilizes comparative market multiples in the valuation estimate. While the income approach has the advantage of utilizing more company specific information, the market approach has the advantage of capturing market-based transaction pricing. Estimated fair value of all of our reporting units from each approach often results in a premium over our market capitalization, commonly referred to as a control premium. Assessing the acceptable control premium percentage requires judgment and is impacted by external factors, such as observed control premiums from comparable transactions derived from the prices paid on recent publicly-disclosed acquisitions in our industry.

Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including current and historical actual operating results, balance sheet carrying values, our most recent forecasts, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative information. If current or expected conditions deteriorate, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods and result in impairment charges.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we changed our annual impairment testing date from December 31 to the first day of the fourth quarter, which we label as October 1.

In 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which provides entities with the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment option and continue performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test.

In connection with our realigned reportable segments, we also assess our reporting units that are operating segments or one level below the operating segment for impairment testing. We consider the management of operating activities, discrete financial information, similarities of economic characteristics, and the nature of the products, production processes, customers, distribution and regulatory environments. For impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets we test TOG as a separate reporting unit from Product Solutions with the remainder tested as the Auxiliary Products and Electrical Solutions reporting units. We test Hetsco as a separate reporting unit from Energy Solutions with the remainder tested as the Energy Services reporting unit, and we test the Nuclear segment as a reporting unit.

We review identified intangible assets with defined useful lives and subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred requires comparing the carrying amount to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. We test intangible assets with indefinite lives annually for impairment using a fair value method such as discounted cash flows.

During 2013, we reviewed economic conditions, performance of the business relative to the fair value assumptions and any changes to future expectations on a quarterly basis and did not identify any such events that would indicate goodwill and other intangible assets have been impaired. During 2013, our annual impairment review of goodwill and other intangible assets concluded with no impairment recorded.

Table of Contents

In connection with our 2013 Acquisitions, we increased the Product Solutions segment goodwill by $4.5 million and we increased the Energy Services segment goodwill by $13.0 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We may be exposed to market risk through changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange fluctuations. We have established policies to monitor and control these market risks.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. We operate in a number of international areas and are involved in transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which exposes us to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We have from time-to-time used derivative instruments to hedge our foreign currency transactions. We did not enter into any such instruments as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We do not hold or issue foreign currency forward contracts, option contracts or other derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk. Our primary market risk exposure is volatility of interest rates, primarily in the U.S. We are subject to interest rate changes on our LIBOR-based variable interest rate under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, we had $25.0 million outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we borrowed $12.0 million and repaid $10.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. Based on the absence of any term loan borrowings as of March 31, 2014, a 50 basis point fluctuation in short-term interest rates would have a $0.1 million impact on our expected pre-tax income on an annual basis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
