Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global stock markets and economies. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact the Company's customers and employees. While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on the Company's reported results for the first half of the fiscal year, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact that it may have on its business, future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The extent to which the Company's operations may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact. The Company intends to continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on its business closely.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods presented. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim period or for the full 2020 fiscal year.

Performance Obligations
To determine the proper revenue recognition method, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services that is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore, is not distinct.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on the Company's cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, sub-consultant services, and other direct costs.
Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed.
As of June 27, 2020, the Company had $593,322 of remaining performance obligations, of which $472,087 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for which work authorizations have been received are included in performance obligations. Most of the Company's government contracts are multi-year contracts for which funding is appropriated on an annual basis, therefore performance obligations include only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts the Company may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts and project awards, performance obligations include future revenue at contract or customary rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, the Company includes revenue from such contracts in performance obligations to the extent of the remaining estimated amount.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on these contracts as of the reporting date. This liability is generally classified as current. Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was $272 and $3,039 for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.
There have been no material changes, other than those related to the adopted new accounting standards below, in the Company's significant accounting policies described in the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and simplifies how the amount of an impairment loss is determined. The update is effective for public companies in the beginning of fiscal year 2020 and shall be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this ASU at the beginning of fiscal year 2020. The Company has determined there were no changes to its financial statements as a result of the adoption.

Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.
 
Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of

NV5 Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share data)

events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques, and weights the results accordingly. NV5 Global is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on August 1 of each year. The Company conducts its annual impairment tests on the goodwill using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill.
Identifiable intangible assets primarily include customer backlog, customer relationships, trade names, non-compete agreements, and developed technology. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. There were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate intangible assets were impaired during the six months ended June 27, 2020.

On August 1, 2019, the Company conducted its annual impairment tests using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. Based on the quantitative analyses the Company determined the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, the goodwill was not impaired and the Company did not recognize an impairment charge relating to goodwill as of August 1, 2019. Furthermore, there were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill was impaired during the period from August 2, 2019 through June 27, 2020.

See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information on goodwill and identified intangibles.
Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"). This ASU introduces a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model ("CECL"), which could result in earlier recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model requires the Company to use a forward-looking expected credit loss impairment methodology for the recognition of credit losses for financial instruments at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard also applies to receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU at the beginning of fiscal year 2020. The standard was applied prospectively and did not materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is not considered during periods of loss or if the effect is anti-dilutive.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculating basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 exclude 612,827 and 480,694 non-vested restricted shares, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, there were 180,554 and 177,029 weighted average securities which are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because their impact is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially anti-dilutive securities during the three and six months ended June 29, 2019.

Goodwill of approximately $5,712 from acquisitions during the six months ended June 29, 2019 is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. During the six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded purchase price allocation adjustments of $32,553, $527, $420, and $30 that increased goodwill for the acquisitions of QSI, WHP, The Sextant Group, and Alta, respectively, and a working capital adjustment of $424 for QSI which was recorded as an increase to goodwill and the purchase price paid for the acquisition. The $32,553 increase to goodwill related to the QSI acquisition included a decrease to the fair value of the trade name of $54,313, which was partially offset by increases to the fair value of customer relationships, customer backlog, and property and equipment of $6,543, $801, and $2,520, respectively, and a decrease to deferred tax liabilities of $11,896.

During the six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company adjusted the QSI purchase price allocation reported at December 28, 2019 to account for updates to assumptions and estimates related to the fair value of the trade name, customer relationships, and customer backlog. As a result, the Company determined the QSI trade name is a finite-lived asset that will be amortized over a two-year period and the fair value was decreased by $54,313. Additionally, the fair value of customer relationships and customer backlog increased $6,543 and $801, respectively. These changes resulted in a corresponding adjustment to deferred tax liabilities of $11,896. If the adjustments had been recognized as of the acquisition date the Company would have recognized incremental amortization expense of $790 during the three months ended March 28, 2020. Amortization expense was $9,512 and $17,851 for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, and $5,083 and $10,083 for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively.

the aggregate in a single draw on the Closing Date to fund the acquisition of QSI and various costs and expenses relating thereto and revolving commitments totaling $215.0 million in the aggregate. The revolving commitment is available through December 20, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"), at which time the term commitments and revolving commitments will be due and payable in full. An aggregate amount of $320.5 million was drawn under the A&R Credit Agreement on the Closing Date to fund the QSI acquisition and repay previously existing borrowings. Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. The A&R Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature permitting the Company to request an increase in either the term facility or the revolver facility under the A&R Credit Agreement by an additional amount of up to $100.0 million in the aggregate.
Borrowings under the term facility amortize at the rate of 5.0% per annum for the first two years of the facility and thereafter at the rate of 7.5% per annum until the Maturity Date.
On May 5, 2020 (the "Amendment Closing Date"), in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into an amendment to the A&R Credit Agreement (the "Amended A&R Credit Agreement") to amend the financial covenants that requires NV5 Global to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of the Company's pro forma consolidated funded indebtedness to the Company's pro forma consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period). The amended consolidated leverage ratio requirements are as follows:
Measurement Period Ending
Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio
Amendment Closing Date through June 27, 2020
4.50 to 1.00
June 28, 2020 through October 3, 2020
5.00 to 1.00
October 4, 2020 through January 2, 2021
5.25 to 1.00
January 3, 2021 and April 3, 2021
4.75 to 1.00
April 4, 2021 and July 3, 2021
4.00 to 1.00
July 4, 2021 and thereafter
3.50 to 1.00
These financial covenants also require the Company to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of any measurement period. As of June 27, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.

The Amended A&R Credit Agreement also amended pricing terms which remain variable and tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable margin or a base rate denominated in U.S. dollars. Interest rates remain subject to change based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. As of June 27, 2020 the Company's interest rate was 4.8%.

The Amended A&R Credit Agreement contains covenants that may have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, enter into a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, create certain new liens, incur certain additional indebtedness, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or engage in new lines of business or sell a substantial part of their assets. The Amended A&R Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including (but not limited to) a default in the payment of principal or, following an applicable grace period, interest, breaches of the Company's covenants or warranties under the Amended A&R Credit Agreement, payment default or acceleration of certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation, certain judgments or uninsured losses, changes in control and certain liabilities related to ERISA based plans.
The Amended A&R Credit Agreement limits the payment of cash dividends (together with certain other payments that would constitute a "Restricted Payment" within the meaning of the Amended A&R Credit Agreement and generally including dividends, stock repurchases and certain other payments in respect to warrants, options, and other rights to acquire equity securities) to no more than $10,000 in any fiscal year, so long as no default shall exist at the time of or arise as a result from such payment.
Total debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized in connection with the issuance of the Amended A&R Credit Agreement were $4,123. Total amortization of debt issuance costs was $222 and $442 during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation, Claims and Assessments
The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits typically filed against the engineering, consulting and construction profession, alleging primarily professional errors or omissions. The Company carries professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, against such claims. However, in some actions, parties are seeking damages that exceed our insurance coverage or for which we are not insured. While management does not believe that the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect, individually or in aggregate, on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, management acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate resolution of these matters.
Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation
In October 2011, our stockholders approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated in March 2013 (as amended, the “2011 Equity Plan”). The 2011 Equity Plan provides directors, executive officers, and other employees of the Company with additional incentives by allowing them to acquire ownership interest in the business and, as a result, encouraging them to contribute to the Company’s success. We may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other cash-based or stock-based awards. As of June 27, 2020, 1,073,194 shares of common stock are authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2011 Equity Plan. This reserve automatically increases on each January 1 from 2014 through 2023, by an amount equal to the smaller of (i) 3.5% of the number of shares issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or (ii) an amount determined by our Board of Directors. The restricted shares of common stock granted generally provide for service-based vesting after two to four years following the grant date.
The following summarizes the activity of restricted stock awards during the six months ended June 27, 2020:

Stock-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 was $3,501 and $6,880, respectively, and $2,369 and $4,167 for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively. Approximately $20,663 of deferred compensation, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.7 years, is unrecognized at June 27, 2020. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 was $8,426 and $13,649, respectively.
Note 13 – Income Taxes
As of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company had net deferred income tax liabilities of $40,575 and $53,341, respectively. Deferred income tax liabilities primarily relate to intangible assets and accounting basis adjustments where we have a future obligation for tax purposes.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 31.3% and 28.5% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, and 3.8% and 11.5% for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the combined statutory federal and state income tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of tax expense from stock-based payments in the second quarter of 2020 and the recognition of tax benefits from stock-based payments in the second quarter of 2019.
The Company evaluates tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The California Franchise Tax Board (“CFTB”) challenged research and development tax credits generated for the years 2012 to 2014. Fiscal years 2012 through 2019 are considered open tax years in the State of California and 2016 through 2019 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and other state and foreign jurisdictions. It is not expected that there will be a significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
Note 14 – Reportable Segments
The Company reports segment information in accordance with ASC Topic No. 280 “Segment Reporting” (“Topic No. 280”). Effective the beginning of fiscal year 2020, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), re-evaluated the structure of the Company's internal organization as a result of the 2019 acquisition of QSI. To reflect management's revised perspective, the Company is now organized into three operating and reportable segments: Infrastructure ("INF"), which includes the Company's engineering, civil program management, utility services, and construction quality assurance practices; Building, Technology & Sciences ("BTS"), which includes the Company's environmental practices and buildings program management practices; and Geospatial Solutions ("GEO"), which includes the Company's geospatial solution practices. The GEO segment has been created in order to provide greater visibility regarding the operational and financial performance of QSI and of the Company as a whole. The GEO segment structure is consistent with how the Company plans and allocates resources, manages its business, and assesses its performance. There was no impact to the INF and BTS prior period segment financial results. The assets of QSI were reallocated from the Company's INF reportable segment to the Company's new GEO reportable segment.
The Company evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on their respective operating income before the effect of amortization expense related to acquisitions and other unallocated corporate expenses. The Company accounts for inter-segment revenues and transfers as if the sales and transfers were to third parties. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 15 – Leases
The Company primarily leases property under operating leases and has five equipment operating leases for aircrafts used by the operations of QSI. The Company's property operating leases consist of various office facilities, which it leases from unrelated parties. The Company uses a portfolio approach to account for such leases due to the similarities in characteristics and apply an incremental borrowing rate based on estimates of rates the Company would pay for senior collateralized loans over a similar term. The Company's office leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for lease components (e.g. fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and common area maintenance costs) as a single lease component. Some of the Company's leases include one or more options to renew the lease term at its sole discretion; however, these are not included in the calculation of its lease liability or ROU lease asset because they are not reasonably certain of exercise.
The Company also leases vehicles through a fleet leasing program. The payments for the vehicles are based on the terms selected. The Company has determined that it is reasonably certain that the leased vehicles will be held beyond the period in which the entire capitalized value of the vehicle has been paid to the lessor. As such, the capitalized value is the delivered price of the vehicle. The Company's vehicle leases are classified as financing leases.
Supplemental balance sheet information related to the Company's operating and finance leases is as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of NV5 Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or “NV5 Global”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2019, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. This Quarterly Report contains, in addition to unaudited historical information, forward-looking statements, which involve risk and uncertainties. The words “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “plan,” or “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from the results those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, those discussed under the headings “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, if any. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to (and we expressly disclaim any obligation to) revise or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, or otherwise (except as may be required by law), in order to reflect any event or circumstance which may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Amounts presented are in thousands, except per share data.
Overview
We are a provider of professional and technical engineering and consulting solutions to public and private sector clients. We focus on the infrastructure, utility services, construction, real estate, and environmental markets. We primarily focus on the following business service verticals: construction quality assurance, infrastructure, utility services, program management, and environmental solutions, and deliver geospatial services. Our primary clients include U.S. federal, state, municipal, and local government agencies, and military and defense clients. We also serve quasi-public and private sector clients from the education, healthcare, utility services, and public utilities, including schools, universities, hospitals, health care providers, insurance providers, large utility service providers, and large to small utility service producers.
Segments
Effective the beginning of fiscal year 2020, we re-evaluated the structure of our internal organization structure as a result of the 2019 acquisition of Geospatial Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Quantum Spatial, Inc. (collectively "QSI"). To reflect management's revised perspective, we are now organized into three operating and reportable segments:
Infrastructure ("INF") – includes our engineering, civil program management, utility services, and construction quality assurance, testing and inspection practices;
Building, Technology & Sciences ("BTS") includes our environmental and buildings program management practices; and
Geospatial Solutions ("GEO") includes our geospatial solution practices.

The GEO segment has been created in order to provide greater visibility regarding the operational and financial performance of QSI. The GEO segment structure is consistent with how we plan and allocate resources, manage our business, and assess our performance. Our INF and BTS segments remain unchanged and the addition of the GEO segment did not have an impact on prior period segment financial results. The assets of QSI were reallocated from our INF reportable segment to our new GEO reportable segment.
For additional information regarding our reportable segments, see Note 14, Reportable Segments, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global stock markets and economies. We are closely monitoring the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers and employees. While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on our reported results for the first half of the fiscal year, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact that it may have on our business, future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact. We intend to continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business closely.

Three Months Ended June 27, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 29, 2019.
Gross Revenues 
Our consolidated gross revenues increased by $34,715, or 27.1%, for the three months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in gross revenues was primarily due to the contribution from QSI of $38,159. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in gross revenue from our liquefied natural gas business of $5,834. All other locations had a net increase in gross revenues of $2,390.
Gross Profit
As a percentage of gross revenues, our gross profit margin was 51.3% and 48.0% for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to a change in our mix of business resulting from the QSI acquisition. As a percentage of gross revenues, direct salaries and wages, other direct costs, and sub-consultant services decreased 2.1%, 1.1%, and .1%, respectively, primarily as a result of our mix of work performed.
Operating expenses 
Our operating expenses increased $20,647, or 39.8% for the three months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in operating expenses primarily resulted from increased payroll and performance-based compensation costs of $13,384 primarily as a result of our acquisitions. The increase in operating expenses also included an increase in intangible asset amortization expense of $4,429 and an increase in depreciation expense of $1,564.

Interest Expense
Our interest expense increased $3,946 for the three months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in interest expense primarily resulted from the increased level of indebtedness associated with the QSI acquisition.


27



Income taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 31.3% and 3.8% for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of tax expense on stock-based based payments of $306 during the three months ended June 27, 2020 as compared to excess tax benefits from stock-based payments of $2,294 during the three months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in our tax expense on stock-based payments during the three months ended June 27, 2020 was a result of the decrease in our stock price as it relates to the value of stock vested during the period.

Net income
Our net income decreased $4,291 for three months ended June 27, 2020, or 48.8%, compared to three months ended June 29, 2019. The decrease was primarily a result of an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $1,132, an increase in intangible asset amortization expense of $4,429, an increase in depreciation expense of $1,564, and an increase in interest expense of $3,946. These increases in expenses were partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $22,012 primarily as a result of our acquisition of QSI and our effective income tax on those items discussed above.
Six Months Ended June 27, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 29, 2019.
Gross Revenues 
Our consolidated gross revenues increased by $82,860, or 33.8%, for the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in gross revenues was primarily due to the contribution from QSI of $76,102. Additionally, other acquisitions completed since the first quarter of 2019 contributed incremental gross revenues of $29,536. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in gross revenue from our liquefied natural gas business of $15,770 and a decrease in our mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering services of $9,707. All other locations had a net increase in gross revenues of $2,699.
Gross Profit
As a percentage of gross revenues, our gross profit margin was 51.2% and 47.6% for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to a change in our mix of business resulting from the QSI acquisition. As a percentage of gross revenues, direct salaries and wages decreased 2.5%, primarily as a result of our mix of work performed. Additionally, other direct costs decreased 2.1% as a percentage of gross revenues on a combined basis. These decreases were partially offset by a 1.0% increase in sub-consultant services as a percentage of gross revenue, primarily as a result of our mix of work performed.
Operating expenses 
Our operating expenses increased $47,778, or 47.8% for the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in operating expenses primarily resulted from increased payroll and performance-based compensation costs and general and administrative costs of $29,702 and $5,222, respectively, primarily as a result of our acquisitions. The increase in operating expenses also included an increase in intangible asset amortization expense of $7,768 and an increase in depreciation expense of $3,152.

Interest Expense
Our interest expense increased $7,382 for the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in interest expense primarily resulted from the increased level of indebtedness associated with the QSI acquisition.

Income taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 28.5% and 11.5% for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of tax expense on stock-based payments of $260 during the six months ended June 27, 2020 as compared to excess tax benefits from stock-based payments of $2,472 during the six months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in our tax expense on stock-based payments during the six months ended June 27, 2020 was a result of the decrease in our stock price as it relates to the value of stock vested during the period.

28




Net income
Our net income decreased $5,646 for six months ended June 27, 2020, or 39.4%, compared to six months ended June 29, 2019. The decrease was primarily a result of an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2,713, an increase in intangible asset amortization expense of $7,768, an increase in depreciation expense of $3,152, and an increase in interest expense of $7,382. These increases in expenses were partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $51,113 primarily due to our 2019 acquisitions and our effective income tax on those items discussed above.

The increase in gross revenues is due to $26,044 in contributions from acquisitions completed since the first quarter of 2019. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in gross revenue from our liquefied natural gas business of $15,770. All other locations had a net increase in gross revenues of $3,248.
Segment Income before Taxes from INF increased $1,872, or 6.9%, during the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2019. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions completed since the first quarter of 2019.
BTS Segment
Our gross revenues from BTS decrease $4,956, or 5.8% during the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2019. The decrease in gross revenues was primarily due to decreases in our surveying, commercial zoning, and environmental services and decreases in our MEP engineering services.
Segment Income before Taxes from BTS decreased $2,588, or 19.3% during the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a lower gross revenues.
GEO Segment
Our gross revenues from GEO was $76,102 during the six months ended June 27, 2020. Gross revenues were primarily derived from public and quasi-public sector clients, which contributed $53,036 of gross revenues. Private sector clients contributed gross revenues of $23,066 during the six months ended June 27, 2020.
Segment Income before Taxes for GEO was $13,758 during the six months ended June 27, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flows from operations, borrowing capacity under our Senior Credit Facility, and access to financial markets. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, and acquisition expenditures. We believe our sources of liquidity, including cash flows from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We will monitor our capital requirements thereafter to ensure our needs are in line with available capital resources.
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $50,745 for the six months ended June 27, 2020, compared to $17,434 during the six months ended June 29, 2019. The increase was a result of the growth in our revenues primarily driven by our acquisitions and changes in our working capital. The changes in our working capital primarily resulted from increased accounts payable of $3,954 related to timing of payments, increased advanced billings of $10,624 related to liquefied natural gas projects, and a decrease of $11,530 in prepaid expenses and other assets primarily as a result of decreased prepaid income taxes of $6,709, decreased prepaid insurance of $1,812, and a decrease in other receivables of $3,097. These increases were partially offset by $3,743 as a result of increased accounts receivable primarily related to our growth in revenues during the six months ended June 27, 2020.
Investing activities
During the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, net cash used in investing activities totaled $5,708 and $15,786, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily a result of decreased acquisition activity.

Financing activities

Cash flows used in financing activities during the six months ended June 27, 2020 totaled $11,650 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2,049 during the six months ended June 29, 2019. The change was primarily due to $10,000 in borrowings on our Senior Credit Facility during the six months ended June 29, 2019. Additionally, we made principal payments on our debt of $10,290 during the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to $6,738 during the six months ended June 29, 2019.
Financing
Senior Credit Facility
On December 20, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), we amended and restated our Credit Agreement (the "A&R Credit Agreement"), dated December 7, 2016, as amended on December 20, 2018, with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), as administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer, the other lenders party thereto, and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors. Pursuant to the A&R Credit Agreement, the lenders provided term commitments of $150.0 million in the aggregate in a single draw on the Closing Date to fund the acquisition of QSI and various costs and expenses relating thereto and revolving commitments totaling $215.0 million in the aggregate. The revolving commitment is available through December 20, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"), at which time the term commitments and revolving commitments will be due and payable in full. An aggregate amount of $320.5 million was drawn under the A&R Credit Agreement on the Closing Date to fund the QSI acquisition and repay previously existing borrowings. Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets. The A&R Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature permitting us to request an increase in either the term facility or the revolver facility under the A&R Credit Agreement by an additional amount of up to $100.0 million in the aggregate.
Borrowings under the term facility amortize at the rate of 5.0% per annum for the first two years of the facility and thereafter at the rate of 7.5% per annum until the Maturity Date.
On May 5, 2020 (the "Amendment Closing Date"), in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we entered into an amendment to the A&R Credit Agreement (the "Amended A&R Credit Agreement") to amend the financial covenants that requires us to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of our pro forma consolidated funded indebtedness to our pro forma consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period). The amended consolidated leverage ratio requirements are as follows:
Measurement Period Ending
Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio
Amendment Closing Date through June 27, 2020
4.50 to 1.00
June 28, 2020 through October 3, 2020
5.00 to 1.00
October 4, 2020 through January 2, 2021
5.25 to 1.00
January 3, 2021 and April 3, 2021
4.75 to 1.00
April 4, 2021 and July 3, 2021
4.00 to 1.00
July 4, 2021 and thereafter
3.50 to 1.00
    These financial covenants also require us to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of any measurement period. As of June 27, 2020, we were in compliance with the financial covenants.
The Amended A&R Credit Agreement also amended pricing terms which remain variable and tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable margin or a base rate denominated in U.S. dollars. Interest rates remain subject to change based on our consolidated leverage ratio. As of June 27, 2020 our interest rate was 4.8%.
The Amended A&R Credit Agreement contains covenants that may have the effect of limiting our ability to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, enter into a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, create certain new liens, incur certain additional indebtedness, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or engage in new lines of business or sell a substantial part of their assets. The Amended A&R Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including (but not limited to) a default in the payment of principal or, following an applicable grace period, interest, breaches of our covenants or warranties under the Amended A&R Credit Agreement, payment default or acceleration of certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation, certain judgments or uninsured losses, changes in control and certain liabilities related to ERISA based plans.

31



The Amended A&R Credit Agreement limits the payment of cash dividends (together with certain other payments that would constitute a "Restricted Payment" within the meaning of the Amended A&R Credit Agreement and generally including dividends, stock repurchases and certain other payments in respect to warrants, options, and other rights to acquire equity securities) to no more than $10,000 in any fiscal year, so long as no default shall exist at the time of or arise as a result from such payment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For information on recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements
Our disclosure and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, contain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. From time to time, we also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public, as well as oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, statements regarding our “expectations,” “hopes,” “beliefs,” “intentions,” or “strategies” regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “likely,” “will likely result,” “continue,” “could,” “future,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “target,” “forecast,” “goal,” “observe,” “seek,” “strategy” and other words and terms of similar meaning, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward looking. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 10-Q reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are not historical factors and should not be read as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, or if such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management’s good faith beliefs, expectations and assumptions as of that time with respect to future events. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include:
our ability to retain the continued service of our key professionals and to identify, hire and retain additional qualified professionals;
changes in demand from the local and state government and private clients that we serve;
general economic conditions, nationally and globally, and their effect on the demand and market for our services;
fluctuations in our results of operations;
the government’s funding and budgetary approval process;
the possibility that our contracts may be terminated by our clients;
our ability to win new contracts and renew existing contracts;
our dependence on a limited number of clients;
our ability to complete projects timely, in accordance with our customers’ expectations, or profitability;
our ability to successfully execute our mergers and acquisitions strategy, including the integration of new companies into our business;
our ability to successfully manage our growth strategy;

34



our ability to raise capital in the future;
competitive pressures and trends in our industry and our ability to successfully compete with our competitors;
our ability to avoid losses under fixed-price contracts;
the credit and collection risks associated with our clients;
our ability to comply with procurement laws and regulations;
changes in laws, regulations, or policies;
the enactment of legislation that could limit the ability of local, state and federal agencies to contract for our privatized services;
our ability to complete our backlog of uncompleted projects as currently projected;
the risk of employee misconduct or our failure to comply with laws and regulations;
our ability to control, and operational issues pertaining to, business activities that we conduct with business partners and other third parties;
our need to comply with a number of restrictive covenants and similar provisions in our senior credit facility that generally limit our ability to (among other things) incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make acquisitions, pay dividends and undergo certain changes in control, which could affect our ability to finance future operations, acquisitions or capital needs;
significant influence by our principal stockholder and the existence of certain anti-takeover measures in our governing documents; and
other factors identified throughout this Current Report on Form 10-Q, including those discussed under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Business.”
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, or assumptions, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, those factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Form 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports filed with the SEC. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019 listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Readers can find them in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of that filing and under the same heading of this filing. You may obtain a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K through our website, www.nv5.com. Information contained on our website is not incorporated into this report. In addition to visiting our website, you may read and copy any document we file with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are exposed to certain market risks from transactions that are entered into during the normal course of business. We have not entered into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We have no significant market risk exposure to interest rate changes related to the promissory notes related to acquisitions since these contain fixed interest rates. Our only debt subject to interest rate risk is the Senior Credit Facility which rates are variable, at our option, tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable rate or a base rate denominated in U.S. dollars. Interest rates are subject to change based on our Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of June 27, 2020, there was $318,582 outstanding on the Senior Credit Facility. A one percentage point change in the assumed interest rate of the Senior Credit Facility would change our annual interest expense by approximately $3,186 annually.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) that occurred during the quarter ended June 27, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in March certain employees of the Company began working remotely. As a result of these changes to the working environment, the Company has not identified any material changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation to determine any potential impacts on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
