FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Introduction. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Team, Inc.,” “Team,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” are used in this report to refer to Team, Inc., to one or more of our consolidated subsidiaries or to all of them taken as a whole.
We are a leading provider of standard to specialty industrial services, including inspection, engineering assessment and mechanical repair and remediation required in maintaining high temperature and high pressure piping systems and vessels that are utilized extensively in the refining, petrochemical, power, pipeline and other heavy industries. We conduct operations in three segments: TeamQualspec Group (“TeamQualspec”), TeamFurmanite Group (“TeamFurmanite”) and Quest Integrity Group (“Quest Integrity”).
TeamQualspec provides standard and advanced non-destructive testing (“NDT”) services for the process, pipeline and power sectors, pipeline integrity management services, field heat treating services, as well as associated engineering and assessment services. These services can be offered while facilities are running (on-stream), during facility turnarounds or during new construction or expansion activities.
TeamFurmanite, our mechanical services segment, provides turnaround and on-stream services. Turnaround services are project-related and demand is a function of the number and scope of scheduled and unscheduled facility turnarounds as well as new industrial facility construction or expansion activities. The turnaround services TeamFurmanite provides include field machining, technical bolting, field valve repair, heat exchanger repair, and isolation test plugging services. On-stream services offered by TeamFurmanite represent the services offered while plants are operating and under pressure. These services include leak repair, fugitive emissions control and hot tapping.
Quest Integrity provides integrity and reliability management solutions for the process, pipeline and power sectors. These solutions encompass two broadly-defined disciplines: (1) highly specialized in-line inspection services for unpiggable process piping and pipelines using proprietary in-line inspection tools and analytical software; and (2) advanced condition assessment services through a multi-disciplined engineering team.
We offer these services globally through over 220 locations in 20 countries throughout the world with more than 7,100 employees. We market our services to companies in a diverse array of heavy industries which include the petrochemical, refining, power, pipeline, steel, pulp and paper industries, as well as municipalities, shipbuilding, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), distributors, and some of the world’s largest engineering and construction firms.
Basis for presentation. These interim financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of our management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 is derived from the December 31, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Use of estimates. Our accounting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported financial position and results of operations. We review significant estimates and judgments affecting our consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to their publication. Estimates and judgments are based on information available at the time such estimates and judgments are made. Adjustments made with respect to the use of these estimates and judgments often relate to information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and judgments are inherent in the preparation of financial statements. Estimates and judgments are used in, among other things, (1) aspects of revenue recognition, (2) valuation of acquisition related tangible and intangible assets and assessments of all long-lived assets for possible impairment, (3) estimating various factors used to accrue liabilities for workers’ compensation, auto, medical and general liability, (4) establishing an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, (5) estimating the useful lives of our assets, (6) assessing future tax exposure and the realization of tax assets, (7) estimating the value associated with contingent consideration payment arrangements, (8) the valuation of the embedded derivative liability in our convertible debt and (9) selecting assumptions used in the measurement of costs and liabilities associated with defined benefit pension plans. Our most significant accounting policies are described below.
Fair value of financial instruments. Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations. The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The
6
fair value of our banking facility is representative of the carrying value based upon the variable terms and management’s opinion that the current rates available to us with the same maturity and security structure are equivalent to that of the banking facility. The fair value of our convertible senior notes as of September 30, 2017 is $220.3 million (inclusive of the fair value of the conversion option) and is a “Level 2” (as defined in Note 10) measurement, determined based on the observed trading price of these instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of all demand deposits and funds invested in highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Included in our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is $9.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively, of cash in certain foreign subsidiaries (located primarily in Europe and Asia) where earnings are considered by the Company to be permanently reinvested. In the event that some or all of this cash were to be repatriated, we would be required to accrue and pay additional taxes. While not legally restricted from repatriating this cash, we consider all undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and access to cash to be limited.
Inventory. Except for certain inventories that are valued based on weighted-average cost, we use the first-in, first-out method to value our inventory. Inventory includes material, labor and certain fixed overhead costs. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed periodically and carrying cost is reduced to net realizable value for inventories for which their cost exceeds their utility. The cost of inventories consumed or products sold are included in operating expenses.
Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their respective useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization of assets are computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
Classification | Useful Life |
Buildings | 20-40 years |
Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) System | 15 years |
Leasehold improvements | 2-15 years |
Machinery and equipment | 2-12 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 2-10 years |
Computers and computer software | 2-5 years |
Automobiles | 2-5 years |
Goodwill and intangible assets. We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to their identifiable tangible assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We also allocate a portion of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets, such as non-compete agreements, trademarks, trade names, patents, technology and customer relationships. Allocations are based on estimated fair values of assets and liabilities. We use all available information to estimate fair values including quoted market prices, the carrying value of acquired assets, and widely accepted valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value techniques, including estimates of future cash flows, selling prices, replacement costs, economic lives and the selection of a discount rate, as well as the use of “Level 3” measurements as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). Deferred taxes are recorded for any differences between the assigned values and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Estimated deferred taxes are based on available information concerning the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and loss carryforwards at the acquisition date, although such estimates may change in the future as additional information becomes known. Any remaining excess of cost over allocated fair values is recorded as goodwill. We typically engage third-party valuation experts to assist in determining the fair values for both the identifiable tangible and intangible assets. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, could materially impact our results of operations.
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of the ASC 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 350. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which we have determined to be the same as our operating segments. Each reporting unit has goodwill relating to past acquisitions.
7
Prior to January 1, 2017, the test for impairment was a two-step process that involved comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit was not considered impaired; therefore, the second step of the impairment test would not be deemed necessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, we would then perform the second step to the goodwill impairment test, which involved the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit’s assets and liabilities as if those assets and liabilities had been acquired/assumed in a business combination at the impairment testing date, to measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recorded. However, as discussed under “Newly Adopted Accounting Principles—ASU No. 2017-04” below, effective January 1, 2017 we prospectively adopted a new accounting principle that eliminated the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, for goodwill impairment tests occurring after January 1, 2017, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we measure any goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Our goodwill annual test date is December 1. We performed our most recent annual impairment test as of December 1, 2016 and concluded that there was no impairment. The fair values of the reporting units at December 1, 2016 were determined using a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach was based on discounted cash flow models with estimated cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenue and expenses over a five-year period plus a terminal value period. The income approach estimated fair value by discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using a discount rate that approximated our weighted-average cost of capital. Major assumptions applied in an income approach include forecasted growth rates as well as forecasted profitability by reporting unit. Additionally, we considered two market approaches that used multiples, based on observable market data, of certain financial metrics of our reporting units to arrive at fair value. We applied equal weighting to each of the income and the two market approaches. The fair value derived from these approaches, in the aggregate, approximated our market capitalization. At December 1, 2016, our market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our consolidated net assets by approximately $437 million or 80%, and the fair value of each reporting unit significantly exceeded its respective carrying amount as of that date.
In the second quarter of 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The indicators included, among other factors, the continued market softness, primarily in our TeamFurmanite segment, and the related impacts on our financial results and our stock price. The Company’s interim goodwill impairment test was prepared using a similar methodology as described above for its most recent annual impairment test with a test date of June 30, 2017. The June 30, 2017 interim goodwill impairment test indicated no impairment as the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded their carrying values. On June 30, 2017, our market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our consolidated net assets by approximately $175 million or 33%. The fair value of the Quest Integrity reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value. With respect to our TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite reporting unit, the fair values exceeded carrying values by 65% and 46%, respectively.
In the third quarter of 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an additional interim goodwill impairment analysis, primarily due to a 43% decrease in the Company’s stock price during the quarter, coupled with the continuation of the other factors noted above. This interim goodwill impairment test was prepared as of July 31, 2017 using a similar methodology as used in the most recent interim and annual impairment tests as described above, except that additional weighting was given to the income approach. Additionally, for the two market approaches, we added a weighting of historical financial metrics in addition to projected financial metrics. Management believes these changes were appropriate given the significant decrease in share price since the last interim impairment test in order to reconcile its reporting unit fair values to the lower market capitalization. The July 31, 2017 interim goodwill impairment test indicated impairment as the carrying values of the TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec reporting units exceeded their fair values. The carrying value of the TeamFurmanite reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $54.1 million and the carrying value of the TeamQualspec reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $21.1 million, resulting in a total impairment loss of $75.2 million. The fair values of the reporting units are “Level 3” measurements as defined in Note 10. The fair value of the Quest Integrity reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value. Management also performed a qualitative assessment of events occurring after July 31, 2017 and through September 30, 2017 and concluded there were no significant changes in facts or circumstances during this period that would impacted the assumptions used in its July 31, 2017 goodwill impairment test.

There was $284.7 million and $355.8 million of goodwill at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. A rollforward of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is as follows (in thousands):

There was no accumulated impairment loss at December 31, 2016.
Income taxes. We follow the guidance of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that we use the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and provide deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax payable and related tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items, such as depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences can result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets.
In accordance with ASC 740, we are required to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realized and, to the extent we believe that it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, we must establish a valuation allowance. We consider all available evidence to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Evidence used includes information about our current financial position and our results of operations for the current and preceding years, as well as all currently available information about future years, including our anticipated future performance, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and tax planning strategies.
Workers’ compensation, auto, medical and general liability accruals. In accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies (“ASC 450”), we record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We review our loss contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure that we have appropriate reserves recorded on our balance sheet. These reserves are based on historical experience with claims incurred but not received, estimates and judgments made by management, applicable insurance coverage for litigation matters, and are adjusted as circumstances warrant. For workers’ compensation, our self-insured retention is $1.0 million and our automobile liability self-insured retention is currently $500,000 per occurrence. For general liability claims, we have an effective self-insured retention of $3.0 million per occurrence. For medical claims, our self-insured retention is $350,000 per individual claimant determined on an annual basis. For environmental liability claims, our self-insured retention is $1.0 million per occurrence. We maintain insurance for claims that exceed such self-retention limits. The insurance is subject to terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that may not fully compensate us for all losses. Our estimates and judgments could change based on new information, changes in laws or regulations, changes in management’s plans or intentions, or the outcome of legal proceedings, settlements or other factors. If different estimates and judgments were applied with respect to these matters, it is likely that reserves would be recorded for different amounts.
Revenue recognition. Most of our projects are short-term in nature and we predominantly derive revenues by providing a variety of industrial services on a time and material basis. For all of these services our revenues are recognized when services are rendered or when product is shipped to the job site and risk of ownership passes to the customer. However, due to various contractual terms with our customers, at the end of any reporting period, there may be earned but unbilled revenue that is accrued to properly match revenues with related costs. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount of earned but unbilled revenue included in accounts receivable was $99.9 million and $39.7 million, respectively.
Allowance for doubtful accounts. In the ordinary course of business, a portion of our accounts receivable are not collected due to billing disputes, customer bankruptcies, dissatisfaction with the services we performed and other various reasons. We establish an allowance to account for those accounts receivable that we estimate will eventually be deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of our historical experience and management’s review of long outstanding accounts receivable.

Concentration of credit risk. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of consolidated revenues.
Earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations or net income (loss) available to Team stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations or net income (loss) available to Team stockholders by the sum of (1) the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, (2) the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of share-based compensation using the treasury stock method and (3) the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of our convertible senior notes under the treasury stock method. The Company’s intent is to settle the principal amount of the convertible senior notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, the Company may elect to deliver shares of its common stock with respect to the remainder of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount (the “conversion spread”). Accordingly, the conversion spread is included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per common share using the treasury stock method.
Amounts used in basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, are as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||

Convertible senior notes | — | — | — | — | |||||||
Total shares and dilutive securities | 29,841 | 29,361 | 29,824 | 27,609 |
For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, all outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive due to the loss from continuing operations in all periods. Also, the effect of our convertible senior notes was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share since the conversion price exceeded the average price of our common stock during the applicable periods. For information on our convertible senior notes and our share-based compensation awards, refer to Note 8 and Note 11, respectively.
Foreign currency. For subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at period ending rates of exchange and revenues and expenses are translated at period average exchange rates. Translation adjustments for the asset and liability accounts are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in our statements of operations.
We utilize monthly foreign currency swap contracts to reduce exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our largest exposures including, but not limited to, the Brazilian Real, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso and Singapore Dollar. The impact from these swap contracts was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016 nor as of the balance sheet dates of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Defined benefit pension plans. Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. These rates are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined based on reference to yields. The expected return on plan assets is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review of asset allocation strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality and retirement rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and are subject to amortization over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense in future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the pension obligation and future expense.
Reclassifications. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not have any effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as previously reported.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles
ASU No. 2015-11. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, Inventory—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), which requires entities that measure inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value to more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Our adoption, on a prospective basis, of ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017 had no impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ASU No. 2015-17. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), which simplifies the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result of our prospective adoption of ASU 2015-17 on January 1, 2017, all deferred tax assets and liabilities have been classified as noncurrent on our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017, while our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 reflects classifications of deferred tax assets and liabilities in accordance with previous GAAP. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
ASU No. 2016-09. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which makes several modifications to GAAP related to share-based payments including the accounting for forfeitures, employee taxes and the financial statement presentation and timing of recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. Specifically, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in the statements of operations as part of the provision for income tax (benefit) whereas previous guidance generally resulted in such amounts being recognized in additional paid-in capital. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain items associated with share-based awards. We adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. With respect to the requirement to recognize excess tax benefits or deficiencies in the statements of operations, we began recognizing such amounts, on a prospective basis, effective January 1, 2017 as a component of our provision (benefit) for income taxes as a discrete item. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, an immaterial amount of net excess tax benefits are included within the income tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations. Also, beginning prospectively on January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits from share-based awards are classified as operating activities instead of financing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows, as required by the ASU. Additionally, in connection with the adoption, we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $1.0 million that increased the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2017, reflecting the recognition of certain excess tax benefits from share-based awards that did not yet qualify for recognition under previous guidance. The adoption of the other requirements in ASU 2016-09 had no impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ASU No. 2017-04. 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”). Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-04, if an impairment of goodwill is indicated, entities are required to then calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to determine the amount of impairment loss. This procedure, referred to as the second step of the goodwill impairment test, required the determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit as if those assets and liabilities had been acquired/assumed in a business combination at the impairment testing date. ASU 2017-04 eliminated the second step and instead requires that the impairment loss be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 prospectively effective January 1, 2017. Upon adoption, ASU 2017-04 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements, but we have applied this new guidance to our 2017 interim goodwill impairment tests.
Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted
ASU No. 2014-09. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. We did not elect to early adopt ASU 2014-09. Therefore, the new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. To adopt the new standard, we will apply the modified retrospective transition method, pursuant to which we will record an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 for the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 to all existing contracts that are not substantially complete as of the date of application. We are continuing our assessment of ASU 2014-09. At this time, our assessment is not yet complete and therefore we are unable to quantify the potential impacts of this update on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, as most of our projects are short-term in nature and billed on a time and materials basis, we do not
11
currently anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will materially affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ASU No. 2016-02. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which changes the accounting for leases, including a requirement to record essentially all leases on the consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting.
ASU No. 2016-13. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends GAAP by introducing a new impairment model for financial instruments that is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred credit losses. The new impairment model applies to most financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although it may be adopted one year earlier, and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting.
ASU No. 2016-15. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which clarifies the classification in the statement of cash flows of certain items, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of contingent consideration arising from a business combination, insurance settlement proceeds, and cash receipts and payments having aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our statements of cash flows.
ASU No. 2016-16. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”), which will require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting.
ASU No. 2017-07. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”), which prescribes where in the statement of operations the components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost should be reported. Under ASU 2017-07, the service cost component is required to be reported in the same line or line items that other compensation costs of the associated employees are reported, while the other components are reported outside of operating income (loss). The changes in presentation in ASU 2017-07 are required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and are to be applied retrospectively. ASU 2017-07 will apply to the presentation, in our statements of operations, of the net periodic pension cost (credit) associated with our defined benefit pension plans, which are discussed in Note 9. We do not believe that the changes in presentation required under ASU 2017-07 will have a material impact on our results of operations.
ASU No. 2017-09 In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Under ASU 2017-09, modification accounting is required unless the effect of the modification does not impact the award’s fair value, vesting conditions and its classification as an equity instrument or liability instrument. ASU 2017-09 is required to be adopted prospectively for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on our share-based compensation expense.
ASU No. 2017-12. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedge Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). This update makes certain targeted improvements to the accounting and presentation of certain hedging relationships. For net investment hedges, ASU 2017-12 requires that the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness be recorded in the currency translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income (loss). ASU 2017-12 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting.
2. ACQUISITIONS
In November 2015, Team and Furmanite entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired all the outstanding shares of Furmanite in a stock transaction whereby Furmanite shareholders received 0.215 shares of Team common stock for each share of Furmanite common stock they owned. The merger was completed on February 29, 2016. Outstanding Furmanite share-based payment awards were generally converted into comparable share-based awards of Team, with certain awards vesting upon the closing of the merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The combination
12
doubled the size of Team’s mechanical services capabilities and established a deeper, broader talent and resource pool that better supports customers across standard and specialty mechanical services. In addition, our expanded capability and capacity offers an enhanced single-point of accountability and flexibility in addressing some of the most critical needs of clients; whether as individual services or as part of an integrated specialty industrial services solution.
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $282.3 million, which consisted of the following (in thousands, except shares):
February 29, 2016 | |||
Common stock (8,208,006 shares) | $ | 209,529 | |
Converted share-based payment awards | 2,001 | ||
Cash | 70,811 | ||
Total consideration | $ | 282,341 |
The fair value of the 8,208,006 common shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of our common shares on the acquisition date of February 29, 2016. The issuance of common stock in the acquisition is a non-cash financing activity that has been excluded from the consolidated statement of cash flows. The fair value of the converted share-based payment awards reflects an apportionment of the fair value of the awards, based on the closing market price of our common stock and other assumptions as of the acquisition date, that is attributable to employee service completed prior to the acquisition date. The fair value of the awards attributable to service after the acquisition date is recognized as share-based compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. The cash consideration represents amounts Team paid, immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, to settle Furmanite’s outstanding debt and certain related liabilities, which were not assumed by Team. The cash portion of the consideration was financed through additional borrowings under our banking credit facility.

The purchase price allocation shown above is based upon the fair values at the acquisition date. The fair values recorded are “Level 3” measurements as defined in Note 10.
Of the $89.0 million of acquired intangible assets, $69.8 million was assigned to customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 12 years, $16.9 million was assigned to trade names with a weighted-average estimated useful life of 12 years and $2.3 million was assigned to developed technology with an estimated useful life of 10 years.
The $89.6 million of goodwill was assigned to the TeamFurmanite segment. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Furmanite. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The fair value of accounts receivable acquired was $65.9 million, considering we expect $7.9 million to be uncollectible. Additionally, we acquired accounts receivable with a fair value of $13.6 million associated with discontinued operations, which is included in the current assets of discontinued operations line above. The gross contractual amount of receivables acquired was $88.0 million.
Current assets of discontinued operations as of the acquisition date includes $3.3 million of goodwill and $1.6 million of intangible assets that were allocated to a business that we sold in December 2016, as discussed in Note 15. The amount of current assets of discontinued operations acquired shown above is net of costs to sell of $1.1 million.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a total of $0.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of acquisition costs related to the Furmanite acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes the activity of Furmanite beginning on the acquisition date of February 29, 2016. Subsequent to the acquisition date, we commenced integration activities relative to Furmanite. As a result, certain business operations have been consolidated and/or transferred from legacy Furmanite operations to legacy Team operations to facilitate the new operating structure. Revenues of $152.3 million and
14
a net loss of $1.7 million are included in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and only include operating results that are directly attributable to legacy Furmanite operations. These amounts do not reflect any attempt to adjust for the effects of integration activities, which are not practicable to determine.
Certain transactions related to the Furmanite acquisition were recognized separately from the acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities in accordance with GAAP. These transactions, which were attributable to certain compensation (both cash and share-based) that was paid or became payable in conjunction with the closing of the acquisition, totaled $4.7 million and were recognized as selling, general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. There were no such amounts recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Our unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are shown below as if the acquisition of Furmanite had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2015. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results which would actually have occurred if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 2015, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results (in thousands, except per share data).

These amounts have been calculated after applying Team’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Furmanite to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied on January 1, 2015, together with the related tax effects. Additionally, these pro forma results exclude discontinued operations as well as the impact of transaction and integration-related costs associated with the Furmanite acquisition included in the historical results.

At the end of 2013, we initiated the design and implementation of a new ERP system, which is expected to be substantially installed by the end of 2017. Amortization of the ERP system development costs began in March 2017 and is computed by the straight-line method. Through September 30, 2017, we have capitalized $46.6 million associated with the project that includes $1.6 million of capitalized interest and we have recognized $1.9 million of amortization expense.

Credit Facility
In July 2015, we renewed our banking credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). In accordance with the second amendment to the Credit Facility, which was signed in February 2016, the Credit Facility had a borrowing capacity of up to $600 million and consisted of a $400 million, five-year revolving loan facility and a $200 million five-year term loan facility. The swing line facility is $35.0 million. On July 31, 2017, we completed the issuance of $230.0 million of 5.00% convertible senior notes in a private offering and used the proceeds from the Offering (as defined below) to repay in full the outstanding term-loan portion of our Credit Facility and a portion of the outstanding revolving borrowings. Concurrent with the completion of the Offering and the repayment of outstanding borrowings discussed above, we entered into the sixth amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Sixth Amendment”), effective as of June 30, 2017, which reduced the capacity of the Credit Facility to a $300 million revolving loan facility, subject to a borrowing availability test (based on eligible accounts, inventory and fixed assets). The Credit Facility matures in July 2020, bears interest based on a variable Eurodollar rate option (LIBOR plus 3.75% margin at September 30, 2017) and has commitment fees on unused borrowing capacity (0.75% at September 30, 2017). The Credit Facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends.
The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants, which were amended in May 2017 and July 2017 pursuant to the fifth amendment and the Sixth Amendment, respectively, to the Credit Facility. The covenants, as amended, require the Company to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter (i) a maximum ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Total Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) of not more than 4.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018, of not more than 4.25 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2018 and not more than 4.00 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and each quarter thereafter, (ii) a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) of not more than 4.75 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2017, 4.25 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2017, 3.75 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018, 3.25 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2018 and 3.00 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and each quarter thereafter and
17
(iii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Interest Coverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement). Under the Sixth Amendment, the Total Leverage Ratio covenant is eliminated until March 31, 2018, but the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio covenant is effective September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we are in compliance with the covenants in effect as of such date. The Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 8.34 to 1.00, 3.72 to 1.00 and 3.17 to 1.00, respectively, as of September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, we had $26.7 million of cash on hand and had approximately $51 million of available borrowing capacity through our Credit Facility. In connection with the repayment in full of the outstanding term-loan portion of our Credit Facility of $160.0 million on July 31, 2017 and the reduction in capacity of the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, we recorded a loss of $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 associated with the write-off of a portion of the debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017, we had $2.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that are being amortized over the life of the Credit Facility.
Although the Total Leverage Ratio covenant does not resume until March 31, 2018, had such covenant been in effect as of September 30, 2017, we would not have been in compliance based on our current financial metrics and it is reasonably possible that we may not be able to be in compliance with this requirement when it becomes effective. Management continues to execute various initiatives designed to reduce the Company’s obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility and improve operating cash flows. If we were to anticipate not being able to maintain compliance, we expect that we would enter into an amendment to the Credit Facility with our bank group in order to modify and/or to provide relief from the financial covenants for an additional period of time. However, there is no assurance that these actions will be effective in maintaining compliance with our Credit Facility covenants as of any future date.
In order to secure our casualty insurance programs, we are required to post letters of credit generally issued by a bank as collateral. A letter of credit commits the issuer to remit specified amounts to the holder if the holder demonstrates that we failed to meet our obligations under the letter of credit. If this were to occur, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer for any payments the issuer was required to remit to the holder of the letter of credit. We were contingently liable for outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaling $22.6 million at September 30, 2017 and $21.6 million at December 31, 2016. Outstanding letters of credit reduce amounts available under our Credit Facility and are considered as having been funded for purposes of calculating our financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
Convertible Debt
Description of the Notes
On July 31, 2017, we issued $230.0 million principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (the “Offering”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes bear interest at rate of 5.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2018. The Notes will mature on August 1, 2023 unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 46.0829 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.70 per share, which represents a conversion premium of 40% to the last reported sale price of $15.50 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on July 25, 2017, the date the pricing of the Notes was completed. The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances as described in the indenture governing the Notes.
Holders may convert their Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding May 1, 2023, but only under the following circumstances:
• | during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; |
• | during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day; |
• | if we call any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or; |
18
• | upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the indenture governing the Notes. |
On or after May 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may, at their option, convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Because the Notes could be convertible in full into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock, we are required by the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) to obtain the approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock before the Notes may be converted into more than 5,964,858 shares of common stock. The Notes are initially convertible into 10,599,067 shares of common stock. We have agreed to seek approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock at our next annual stockholders’ meeting. The Notes will be convertible into, subject to various conditions, cash or shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case, at the Company’s election, except that prior to receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, the Company will settle conversion in cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
If holders elect to convert the Notes in connection with certain fundamental change transactions described in the indenture governing the Notes, we will, under certain circumstances described in the indenture governing the Notes, increase the conversion rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion.
We may not redeem the Notes prior to August 5, 2021. We will have the option to redeem all or any portion of the Notes on or after August 5, 2021, if certain conditions (including that our common stock is trading at or above 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive)), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Net proceeds received from the Offering were approximately $222.3 million after deducting discounts, commissions and expenses. We used $160.0 million of the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under the term-loan portion of our Credit Facility and $62.3 million of the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility, which may be subsequently reborrowed for general corporate purposes.

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, (“ASC 470-20”), an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion (such as the Notes) in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. However, entities must first consider the guidance in ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”), to determine if an instrument contains an embedded feature that should be separately accounted for as a derivative. Unless an exception under ASC 815-15
19
applies, such accounting requires that an embedded feature that is not “clearly and closely related” to the host contract be accounted for separately as a derivative and marked to fair value in the statement of operations each period. The Company concluded that the conversion feature is not “clearly and closely related” to the debt host contract. However, ASC 815-15 provides an exception for embedded features that are considered both indexed to our common stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. Because the Notes permit the Company to settle the conversion feature in cash, stock or any combination thereof at its election, ordinarily the conversion feature would be considered both indexed to our common stock and classified in stockholders’ equity and therefore exempt from the requirements of ASC 815-15. However, because the Notes could be convertible into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock and shareholder approval in accordance with the NYSE rules (as described above) to issue more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock has not yet been obtained, the Company could be required to settle the conversion feature for a portion of the Notes in cash instead of shares. Therefore, the conversion feature for a portion of the Notes cannot be classified in stockholders’ equity and therefore the exception under ASC 815-15 does not apply. As such, the Company concluded that for a portion of the Notes, it must recognize as an embedded derivative under ASC 815-15 while the remainder of the Notes are subject to ASC 470-20.
The Company determined the portions of the Notes subject to ASC 815-15 and ASC 470-20 as follows. First, while the Notes are initially convertible into 10,599,067 shares of common stock, the occurrence of certain corporate events could increase the conversion rate, which could result in the Notes becoming convertible into a maximum of 14,838,703 shares. As noted above, we must obtain stockholder approval to issue more than 5,964,858 shares of stock to settle the Notes upon conversion. Therefore, approximately 40% of the maximum number of shares is authorized for issuance without shareholder approval, while 8,873,845 shares, or approximately 60% would be required to be settled in cash. Therefore, the Company concluded that embedded derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 is applicable to approximately 60% of the Notes, while the remaining 40% of the Notes are subject to ASC 470-20. The Company will reassess the classification of the Notes each reporting period considering changes in facts and circumstances, if any. Once (and if) we receive stockholder approval to issue more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock upon conversion of the Notes, we will reclassify the embedded derivative, at its then-current fair value, to stockholders’ equity, and it will no longer be marked to fair value each period.
We estimated the fair value of similar notes without the conversion feature to be $194.2 million, with the resulting conversion feature having an estimated fair value of $35.8 million at the issuance date. For the portion of the Notes subject to ASC 815-15, we recorded an embedded derivative liability at fair value of $21.4 million and for the portion of the Notes subject to ASC 470-20, we recorded $14.4 million as additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. The fair values recorded are “Level 2” measurements as defined in Note 10. The difference between the principal amount of the Notes and the amounts allocated to the embedded derivative liability and additional paid-in capital resulted in a debt discount of $35.8 million that is amortized as interest expense over 72 months (the six-year period from issuance to maturity of the Notes).
The Company incurred approximately $7.7 million in issuance costs associated with the Notes. Issuance costs of $7.2 million were allocated as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt while the remaining $0.5 million were allocated as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. The portion allocated to the debt component is being amortized over the life of the debt. As of September 30, 2017, the remaining amortization period is 70 months.

Total interest expense on convertible senior notes | $ | 2,868 | |
Effective interest rate | 9.12 | % |
Derivatives and Hedging
ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), requires that derivative instruments be recorded at fair value and included in the balance sheet as assets or liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation, which is established at the inception date of a derivative. Special accounting for derivatives qualifying as fair value hedges allows derivatives’ gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the statement of operations. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value, to the extent
20
the hedge is effective, are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative cumulative changes in fair value between the derivative contract and the hedged item over time. Credit risks related to derivatives include the possibility that the counter-party will not fulfill the terms of the contract. We consider counterparty credit risk to our derivative contracts when valuing our derivative instruments.
Our borrowing of €12.3 million under the Credit Facility serves as an economic hedge of our net investment in our European operations as fluctuations in the fair value of the borrowing attributable to the U.S. Dollar/Euro spot rate will offset translation gains or losses attributable to our investment in our European operations. At September 30, 2017, the €12.3 million borrowing had a U.S. Dollar value of $14.5 million.
As discussed above, we have recorded an embedded derivative for a portion of the Notes. The embedded derivative represents conversion features to the purchasers of the Notes that provide an opportunity to profit if the value of the shares that may be attained from the conversion of the Notes is higher than the redemption amount of the Notes. In accordance with ASC 815-15, the embedded derivative instrument is recorded at fair value each period with changes in fair value reflected in our results of operations. No hedge accounting is applied.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
In connection with our acquisition of Furmanite, we assumed liabilities associated with the defined benefit pension plans of two foreign subsidiaries, one plan covering certain United Kingdom employees (the “U.K. Plan”) and the other covering certain Norwegian employees (the “Norwegian Plan”). As the Norwegian Plan represents approximately one percent of both the Company’s total pension plan liabilities and total pension plan assets, only the schedule of net periodic pension cost (credit) includes combined amounts from the two plans, while assumption and narrative information relates solely to the U.K. Plan.
Net periodic pension cost (credit) for the U.K. and Norwegian Plans includes the following components (in thousands):

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the net periodic pension cost presented in the table above is from the date of the Furmanite acquisition.
The expected long-term rate of return on invested assets is determined based on the weighted average of expected returns on asset investment categories as follows: 4.5% overall, 5.8% for equities and 1.8% for debt securities. We expect to contribute $4.1 million to the pension plan for 2017, of which $3.4 million has been contributed through September 30, 2017.
10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We apply the provisions of ASC 820, which among other things, requires certain disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value.
As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best information available. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The use of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for fair value determinations in situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy such that “Level 1” measurements include unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market, “Level 2” measurements include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market which have been adjusted for items such as effects of restrictions for transferability and those that are not quoted but are observable through corroboration with observable market data, including quoted market prices for similar assets, and “Level 3” measurements include those that are unobservable and of a highly subjective measure.
22
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands):

__________________________
1 Inclusive of both current and noncurrent portions.
There were no transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
The fair value of the convertible debt embedded derivative liability is estimated using a lattice model with inputs including our stock price, our stock price volatility and interest rates. As the assumptions used in the valuation are primarily derived from observable market data, the fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities classified in the table above were estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity include a combination of actual cash flows and probability-weighted assessments of expected future cash flows related to the acquired businesses, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and as calculated in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreements.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We have adopted stock incentive plans and other arrangements pursuant to which our Board of Directors (the “Board”) may grant stock options, restricted stock, stock units, stock appreciation rights, common stock or performance awards to officers, directors and key employees. At September 30, 2017, there were approximately 1.0 million stock options, restricted stock units and performance awards outstanding to officers, directors and key employees. The exercise price, terms and other conditions applicable to each form of share-based compensation under our plans are generally determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board at the time of grant and may vary.
Our share-based payments consist primarily of stock units, performance awards, common stock and stock options. In May 2016, our shareholders approved the 2016 Team, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which replaced all of our previous equity compensation plans. The Plan authorizes the issuance of share-based awards representing up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Shares issued in connection with our share-based compensation are issued out of authorized but unissued common stock.
In connection with the acquisition of Furmanite in February 2016, we assumed the share plan related to Furmanite employee grants. As provided for in the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase Furmanite common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition was converted into an option to purchase Team common stock, adjusted by the 0.215 exchange ratio. Similarly, each previously existing Furmanite restricted share, restricted stock unit or performance stock unit outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition were converted into Team restricted stock units, also at the 0.215 exchange ratio. The converted awards generally have the same terms and conditions as the replaced awards, except the vesting of certain awards was accelerated to the acquisition date and any performance conditions associated with the Furmanite awards no longer apply. The fair value of the options was determined using a Black-Scholes model, while the fair value of the restricted stock units was determined based on the market price on the acquisition date. The fair value of the converted Furmanite awards was allocated between consideration transferred in the acquisition and future share-based compensation expense, based on past service completed and future service required. The converted Furmanite awards have been identified, as applicable, in the tables that follow.
Compensation expense related to share-based compensation totaled $5.8 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Share-based compensation expense reflects an estimate of expected forfeitures. At September 30, 2017, $13.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based compensation is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.3 years. The excess tax benefit derived when share-based awards result in a tax deduction for the Company was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Stock units are settled with common stock upon vesting unless it is not legally feasible to issue shares, in which case the value of the award is settled in cash. We determine the fair value of each stock unit based on the market price on the date of grant. Stock units generally vest in annual installments over four years and the expense associated with the units is recognized over the same vesting period. We also grant common stock to our directors, which typically vests immediately. Compensation expense related to stock units and director stock grants totaled $5.3 million and $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Transactions involving our stock units and director stock grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are summarized below:

We have a performance stock unit award program whereby we grant Long-Term Performance Stock Unit (“LTPSU”) awards to our executive officers. Under this program, the Company communicates “target awards” to the executive officers at the beginning of a performance period. LTPSU awards cliff vest with the achievement of the performance goals and completion of the required service period. Settlement occurs with common stock as soon as practicable following the vesting date. LTPSU awards granted on November 4, 2014 and October 15, 2015 are subject to a three-year performance period and a concurrent three-year service
24
period. The performance target is based on results of operations over the three-year performance period with possible payouts ranging from 0% to 300% of the “target awards.” LTPSU awards granted on March 15, 2017 are subject to a two-year performance period and a concurrent two-year service period. For these awards, the performance goal is separated into three independent performance factors based on (i) relative shareholder total return (“RTSR”) as measured against a designated peer group, (ii) RTSR as measured against a designated index and (iii) results of operations over the two-year performance period, with possible payouts ranging from 0% to 200% of the “target awards” for the first two performance factors and ranging from 0% to 300% of the “target awards” for the third performance factor.
We determine the fair value of each LTPSU award based on the market price on the date of grant. However, for the portion of the LTPSU awards that are subject to the RTSR performance factors, we determine the fair value of that portion of the award based on the results of a Monte Carlo simulation, which uses market-based inputs as of the date of grant to simulate future stock returns. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. For LTPSU awards (or portions thereof) subject to a results of operations performance goal, compensation expense is recognized based upon the performance target that is probable of being met. For the portion of LTPSU awards subject to the RTSR performance factors, because the expected outcome is incorporated into the grant date fair value, compensation expense is not subsequently adjusted for changes in the expected or actual performance outcome. Compensation expense related to performance awards totaled $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Transactions involving our performance awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are summarized below:

We determine the fair value of each stock option at the grant date using a Black-Scholes model and recognize the resulting expense of our stock option awards over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the awards, usually the vesting period. Compensation expense related to stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was not material. Our options typically vest in equal annual installments over a four-year service period. Expense related to an option grant is recognized on a straight line basis over the specified vesting period for those options. Stock options generally have a ten-year term. Transactions involving our stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are summarized below:

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Con Ed Matter—We have, from time to time, provided temporary leak repair services to the steam system of Consolidated Edison Company of New York (“Con Ed”) located in New York City. In July 2007, a Con Ed steam main located in midtown Manhattan ruptured resulting in one death and other injuries and property damage. As of September 30, 2017, sixty-eight lawsuits are currently pending against Con Ed, the City of New York and Team in the Supreme Court of New York, alleging that our temporary leak repair services may have contributed to the cause of the rupture, allegations which we dispute. The lawsuits seek generally unspecified compensatory damages for personal injury, property damage and business interruption. Additionally, Con Ed is alleging that our contract with Con Ed requires us to fully indemnify and defend Con Ed for all claims asserted against Con Ed including those amounts that Con Ed has paid to settle with certain plaintiffs for undisclosed sums as well as Con Ed’s own alleged damages to its infrastructure. Con Ed filed an action to join Team and the City of New York as defendants in all lawsuits filed against Con Ed that did not include Team and the City of New York as direct defendants. We are vigorously defending the lawsuits and Con Ed’s claim for indemnification. We are unable to estimate the amount of liability to us, if any, associated with these lawsuits and the claim for indemnification. We filed a motion to dismiss in April 2016. We maintain insurance coverage, subject to a deductible limit of $250,000, which we believe should cover these claims. We have not accrued any liability in excess of the deductible limit for the lawsuits. We do not believe the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Patent Infringement Matters—In December 2014, our subsidiary, Quest Integrity Group, LLC, filed three patent infringement lawsuits against three different defendants, two in the U.S. District of Delaware (the “Delaware Cases”) and one in the U.S. District of Western Washington (the “Washington Case”). Quest Integrity alleges that the three defendants infringed Quest Integrity’s patent, entitled “2D and 3D Display System and Method for Furnace Tube Inspection”. This Quest Integrity patent generally teaches a system and method for displaying inspection data collected during the inspection of furnace tubes in petroleum and petro-chemical refineries. The subject patent litigation is specific to the visual display of the collected data and does not relate to Quest Integrity’s underlying advanced inspection technology. In these lawsuits Quest Integrity is seeking temporary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Defendants have denied they infringe any valid claim of Quest Integrity’s patent, and have asserted declaratory judgment counterclaims that the patent at issue is invalid and/or unenforceable, and not infringed. In June 2015, the U.S. District of Delaware denied our motions for preliminary injunctive relief in the Delaware Cases (that is, our request that the defendants stop using our patented systems and methods during the pendency of the actions). In March 2017, the judge in the Delaware Cases granted summary judgment against Quest Integrity, finding certain patent claims of the asserted
27
patent invalid. In August 2017, the judge in the Washington Case granted summary judgment against Quest Integrity based on the Delaware Cases ruling. Quest Integrity is in the process of appealing both Delaware Cases and is planning to appeal the Washington Case.
We are involved in various other lawsuits and are subject to various claims and proceedings encountered in the normal conduct of business. In our opinion, any uninsured losses that might arise from these lawsuits and proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
We establish a liability for loss contingencies, when information available to us indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
14. ENTITY WIDE DISCLOSURES
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires us to disclose certain information about our operating segments where operating segments are defined as “components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.” We conduct operations in three segments: TeamQualspec, TeamFurmanite and Quest Integrity. All three operating segments operate under a business segment manager who reports directly to Team’s Chief Executive Officer who operates as the chief operating decision maker. Discontinued operations are not allocated to the segments. Segment data for our three operating segments are as follows (in thousands):

15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As part of our acquisition of Furmanite, we acquired a pipeline inspection business from Furmanite that primarily performed process management inspection services to contractors and operators participating primarily in the midstream oil and gas market in the United States. We previously concluded that this business was not a strategic fit for Team and we completed the sale of the business in December 2016.
We concluded that this business qualified as a discontinued operation upon its acquisition under GAAP. Therefore, we classified the operating results as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Discontinued operations does not include any allocation of corporate overhead expense or interest expense. Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax, consists of the following (in thousands):

Furmanite Belgium and Netherlands Exit
Due to continued economic softness and unfavorable costs structures, we committed to a plan to exit the acquired Furmanite operations in Belgium and the Netherlands in the fourth quarter of 2016 and communicated the plan to the affected employees. The closures are now substantially complete. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a reduction to severance costs of $0.2 million and a disposal gain of $1.1 million. The disposal gain resulted from an asset sale of the Furmanite operations in Belgium, which was completed during the first quarter of 2017, whereby we conveyed the business operations, $0.3 million of cash and approximately $0.2 million of other assets to the purchaser in exchange for the assumption by the purchaser of certain liabilities, primarily severance-related liabilities of $1.6 million associated with the employees who transferred to the purchaser in connection with the transaction.
A rollforward of our accrued severance liability associated with the Belgium and Netherlands exit is presented below (in thousands):

With respect to these exit activities, to date we have incurred cumulatively $4.7 million of severance-related costs and an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment of $0.7 million, partially offset by a disposal gain of $1.1 million. We estimate that we will incur additional costs associated with this restructuring/closure, primarily related to certain lease terminations, of less than $1 million.
2017 Cost Savings Initiative
On July 24, 2017, we announced our commitment to a cost savings initiative to take direct actions to reduce our overall cost structure given the ongoing weak and uncertain macro environment in the industries in which we operate. The cost savings initiative includes the elimination of certain employee positions and reductions to discretionary spending and is expected to reduce our annual operating expenses by approximately $30 million. The resulting severance and related charges of this initiative amounted to $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
A rollforward of our accrued severance liability associated with this initiative is presented below (in thousands):

With respect to this initiative, to date we have incurred cumulatively $2.9 million in severance and related expenses. Although the initial phase of our cost savings initiative is largely complete, the Company is continuing a comprehensive assessment of its operating plan, which could result in additional initiatives.

17. REPURCHASE AND ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
Common Stock Repurchase Plan. On June 23, 2014, our Board authorized an increase in the stock repurchase plan limit to $50.0 million. We did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, $7.9 million remained available to repurchase shares under the stock repurchase plan. Under the Credit Facility, the Company is limited in its ability to make stock repurchases unless the Total Leverage Ratio is below 2.50 to 1.00. Notwithstanding such provision, in the event that after giving pro forma effect to such repurchase, if Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is at least $15.0 million and the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, the Credit Facility generally permits the Company to make stock repurchases provided that such repurchases, plus any payments of cash dividends, do not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.
Cancellation of At-the-Market Equity Issuance Program. On July 31, 2017, we delivered written notice to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”) of our termination of the ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement, dated November 28, 2016 (the “Sales Agreement”), pursuant to Section 9(a) thereof. The Sales Agreement is terminable by us or the Agents for any reason at any time without penalty upon three days’ written notice to the other party. Under the Sales Agreement, we were entitled to issue and sell, from time to time, through or to the Agents, shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150 million in an “at-the-market” offering program (the “ATM Program”).

General Description of Business
We are a leading provider of standard to specialty industrial services, including inspection, engineering assessment and mechanical repair and remediation required in maintaining high temperature and high pressure piping systems and vessels that are utilized extensively in the refining, petrochemical, power, pipeline and other heavy industries. We conduct operations in three segments: TeamQualspec Group (“TeamQualspec”), TeamFurmanite Group (“TeamFurmanite”) and Quest Integrity Group (“Quest Integrity”). Through the capabilities and resources in these three segments, we believe that Team is uniquely qualified to provide integrated solutions involving in their most basic form, inspection to assess condition, engineering assessment to determine fitness for purpose in the context of industry standards and regulatory codes and mechanical services to repair, rerate or replace based upon the client’s election. In addition, our Company is capable of escalating with the client’s needs—as dictated by the severity of the damage found and the related operating conditions—from standard services to some of the most advanced services and expertise available in the industry.
TeamQualspec provides standard and advanced non-destructive testing (“NDT”) services for the process, pipeline and power sectors, pipeline integrity management services, field heat treating services, as well as associated engineering and assessment services. These services can be offered while facilities are running (on-stream), during facility turnarounds or during new construction or expansion activities.
TeamFurmanite, our mechanical services segment, provides turnaround and on-stream services. Turnaround services are project-related and demand is a function of the number and scope of scheduled and unscheduled facility turnarounds as well as new industrial facility construction or expansion activities. The turnaround services TeamFurmanite provides include field machining, technical bolting, field valve repair, heat exchanger repair, and isolation test plugging services. On-stream services offered by TeamFurmanite represent the services offered while plants are operating and under pressure. These services include leak repair, fugitive emissions control and hot tapping.
Quest Integrity provides integrity and reliability management solutions for the process, pipeline and power sectors. These solutions encompass two broadly-defined disciplines: (1) highly specialized in-line inspection services for unpiggable process piping and pipelines using proprietary in-line inspection tools and analytical software; and (2) advanced condition assessment services through a multi-disciplined engineering team.
33
We offer these services globally through over 220 locations in 20 countries throughout the world with more than 7,100 employees. We market our services to companies in a diverse array of heavy industries which include the petrochemical, refining, power, pipeline, steel, pulp and paper industries, as well as municipalities, shipbuilding, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), distributors, and some of the world’s largest engineering and construction firms.
As previously announced, in September 2017, Ted W. Owen stepped down as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Gary G. Yesavage, a member of the Team Board of Directors, was appointed as Team’s Interim CEO to serve until a permanent CEO is hired. The Company has engaged a leading executive search firm to assist with identifying qualified external candidates.

2 Includes goodwill impairment loss of $21.1 million and $54.1 million for TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite, respectively
Revenues. Total revenues declined $4.5 million or 1.6% from the prior year quarter. The overall decline is attributable to the TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite segments, with lower revenues of $4.1 million and $1.0 million respectively, partially offset by a revenue increase of $0.7 million in the Quest Integrity segment. Excluding the favorable impact of $2.8 million due to foreign currency exchange rate changes, total revenues decreased by $7.3 million, TeamQualspec revenues decreased by $5.4 million, TeamFurmanite revenues decreased by $2.4 million and Quest Integrity revenues increased by $0.5 million. Our TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite segments were adversely affected by the hurricane-related impacts in the U.S. Gulf Coast region during the current year quarter, which resulted in customer project deferrals and lost billable hours that we estimate reduced revenues by approximately $7 million and $6 million in TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite, respectively. The 4.3% increase in Quest Integrity revenues was primarily associated with overall higher volumes across inspection services, partially offset by hurricane-related project deferrals estimated at approximately $1 million. We are currently experiencing a continuation of the weak and uncertain macro environment in the industries in which we operate, with activity levels remaining below historical levels.
Operating loss. Overall operating loss was $94.1 million in the current year quarter compared to $4.0 million in the prior year quarter. The higher operating loss is primarily attributable to the TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec segments, which experienced lower operating income of $57.1 million and $25.9 million, respectively. The Quest Integrity segment and corporate and shared support services increased our operating loss by $1.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The sharp increase in operating loss for the TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec segments is primarily attributable to goodwill impairment losses in the current year quarter of $54.1 million and $21.1 million, respectively, in these segments. These impairment losses were a result of our interim goodwill impairment test completed in the third quarter of 2017, which was triggered by the existence of impairment indicators, including the continued market softness and the related impacts on our financial results and our stock price. The results of the impairment test indicated that the carrying values of our TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec operating segments exceeded their estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of these segments have been adversely impacted by the declines in operating results and the related significant decrease in our share price experienced during the year, particularly the decrease experienced during the third quarter. It is possible that we could experience additional goodwill impairment losses in future periods.
34
In addition to the $75.2 million in goodwill impairment losses, the current year quarter includes net expenses totaling $11.8 million that we do not believe are indicative of the Company’s core operating activities, while the prior year quarter included $6.0 million of such items, as detailed by segment in the table below (in thousands):

2 | Primarily incremental costs incurred associated with hurricane-related impacts in 2017 and severe flooding in Louisiana in 2016 |
3 | Consists primarily of professional fees for acquired business integration, intellectual property legal defense costs associated with Quest Integrity and non-cash compensation cost associated with acceleration of vesting of awards |
4 | Primarily associated with the acquisition of Furmanite in 2016 |
Excluding the impact of these identified items in both periods, operating income (loss) changed unfavorably by $9.1 million, consisting of decreased operating income in TeamQualspec, TeamFurmanite, Quest Integrity, and corporate and shared support services of $2.8 million, $1.6 million, $1.4 million, and $3.3 million, respectively. The overall decline in operating income was partially offset by the initial benefits realized from our company-wide cost savings initiative, which commenced in July 2017. Within our TeamQualspec segment, the reduced operating income this year is primarily attributable to the hurricane-related impacts described above and unfavorable changes in mix of work, including more nested/resident work which traditionally carries a lower margin, as well as higher labor costs. Within TeamFurmanite, the lower operating income is primarily attributable to the hurricane-related impacts. The Quest Integrity segment experienced lower operating income due to higher labor costs in the current year quarter as well as the hurricane-related impacts. The higher expenses in corporate and shared support services reflect depreciation and amortization expense of our new ERP system that was placed into service in the first quarter of 2017 as well as the related operating costs.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $3.2 million in the prior-year quarter to $6.4 million in the current year quarter. The increase is primarily due to higher interest rates on our Credit Facility (as defined below) borrowings compared to the prior year quarter, as well as the effect of using the proceeds from our $230.0 million principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) offering to repay a portion of the Credit Facility borrowings. The convertible senior notes bear a higher effective interest rate than our Credit Facility borrowings and therefore also contributed to the increase in interest expense. The effect of the higher interest rates was partially offset by the effect of lower average outstanding borrowings in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Write-off of deferred loan costs. The write-off of deferred loan costs of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was associated with the extinguishment of the term-loan portion of the Company’s Credit Facility as well as a reduction in capacity of the revolving portion of the Credit Facility in July 2017.
Gain on convertible debt embedded derivative. Because we could be required to cash-settle a portion of the conversion feature of the Notes, we recognize an embedded derivative liability for the conversion feature for approximately 60% of the Notes pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative liability reflected in our results of operations each period. Gains and/or losses on the embedded derivative liability will continue to impact our results of
35
operations unless and until we receive stockholder approval for the issuance of more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock upon conversion of the Notes. The valuation of such derivative liability is highly sensitive to changes in the price of our common stock. Generally, decreases in our stock price will result in gains, while increases in our stock price will result in losses. The Company recorded a gain on this embedded derivative of $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price from the issuance date of the Notes.
Foreign currency (gain) loss and other. Non-operating results include $0.2 million in foreign currency transaction losses in the current year quarter compared to $0.1 million in gains in the prior year quarter. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in both periods reflect the effects of fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar relative to the currencies to which we have exposure, including but not limited to, the Brazilian Real, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso, and Singapore Dollar.
Taxes. The benefit for income tax was $12.1 million on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $95.6 million in the current year quarter compared to a benefit of $2.7 million on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $7.2 million in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate was 12.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the effective tax rate of 36.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment loss.
Discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax, was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and relates to the operating results of an acquired Furmanite business that was sold in December 2016.

2 Includes goodwill impairment loss of $21.1 million and $54.1 million for TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite, respectively
Revenues. Total revenues increased $7.0 million or 0.8% from the same period in the prior year. Excluding the unfavorable impact of $0.7 million due to foreign currency exchange rate changes, total revenues increased by $7.7 million, TeamQualspec revenues increased by $2.6 million, TeamFurmanite revenues decreased by $4.7 million and Quest Integrity revenues increased by $9.8 million. The increase in Quest Integrity and TeamQualspec revenues reflects overall higher volumes across inspection and assessment services. Further, approximately $1.7 million and $3.1 million of the revenue increases in Quest Integrity and TeamQualspec, respectively, were attributable to acquisitions completed in the prior year. The increases in TeamQualspec and Quest Integrity revenues were partially offset by hurricane-related impacts, including customer project deferrals and lost billable hours that we estimate reduced revenues by approximately $7 million and $1 million, respectively, for these segments. The revenue decline in the TeamFurmanite segment is partially attributable to hurricane-related impacts, which we estimate at $6 million, as well as the effects of ongoing market softness, largely offset by increases associated with the acquisition of Furmanite in 2016.
36
On a pro forma basis, assuming Furmanite had been acquired prior to January 1, 2016, TeamFurmanite revenues declined by $50.7 million or 11.6%. We are currently experiencing a continuation of the weak and uncertain macro environment in the industries in which we operate, with activity levels remaining below historical levels.
Operating income (loss). Overall operating loss was $112.9 million in the current year compared to operating income of $2.6 million in the same period in the prior year. The decline is primarily attributable to the TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec segments, which experienced decreased operating income of $70.3 million and $31.9 million, respectively, as well as an increase in corporate and shared support services expenses of $17.6 million compared to the prior year. Partially offsetting these impacts, the Quest Integrity segment experienced higher operating income of $4.4 million. The sharp decline in operating income for the TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec segments is attributable to goodwill impairment losses in the current year of $54.1 million and $21.1 million, respectively, in these segments, as discussed above. It is possible that we could experience additional goodwill impairment losses in future periods.
In addition to the $75.2 million in goodwill impairment losses, the current year includes net expenses totaling $22.3 million that we do not believe are indicative of the Company’s core operating activities, while the same period in the prior year included $21.7 million of such items, as detailed by segment in the table below (in thousands):

Excluding the impact of these identified items in both periods, operating income (loss) changed unfavorably by $39.7 million, consisting of decreased operating income in TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec of $18.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively, as well as an increase in corporate and shared support services expenses of $14.8 million, partially offset by increased operating income in the Quest Integrity segment of $3.4 million. The overall decline in operating income was partially offset by the initial benefits realized from our company-wide cost savings initiative, which commenced in July 2017. Within TeamFurmanite, the lower operating income is primarily attributable to the effects of market softness and the hurricane-related impacts described above. Although TeamQualspec revenues were higher than the prior year, the reduced operating income this year is primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in the mix of work, including more nested/resident work which traditionally carries a lower margin, as well as higher labor costs and the effect of the hurricane-related impacts. The higher expenses in corporate and shared support services reflect the commencement of depreciation and amortization expense on our new ERP system that was placed into service in the first quarter of 2017 as well as related operating costs, higher rent expense and the absorption of certain of Furmanite’s corporate costs. The higher operating income in the Quest Integrity segment is primarily attributable to higher volumes across inspection and assessment services, reflecting some improvements in market conditions.
37
Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $9.6 million in the prior year to $13.9 million in the current year. The increase is primarily due to higher interest rates on our Credit Facility borrowings compared to the same period in the prior year, as well as the effect of using the proceeds from the Notes offering to repay a portion of the Credit Facility borrowings. The Notes bear a higher effective interest rate than our Credit Facility borrowings and therefore contributed to the increase in interest expense. The effect of the higher interest rates was partially offset by lower average borrowings outstanding in the current year compared to the same period in the prior year.
Write-off of deferred loan costs. The write-off of deferred loan costs of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was associated with the extinguishment of the term-loan portion of the Company’s Credit Facility as well as a reduction in capacity of the revolving portion of the Credit Facility in July 2017.
Gain on convertible debt embedded derivative. As discussed above, we recognize an embedded derivative liability for the conversion feature for a portion of the Notes. The valuation of such derivative liability is highly sensitive to changes in the price of our common stock. Generally, decreases in our stock price will result in gains, while increases in our stock price will result in losses. The Company recorded a gain on this embedded derivative of $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This gain is primarily a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price from the issuance date of the Notes.
Foreign currency (gain) loss and other. Non-operating results include $0.6 million in foreign currency transaction losses in the current year compared to $0.2 million in foreign currency transaction gains in the prior year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in both periods reflect the effects of fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar relative to the currencies to which we have exposure, including but not limited to, the Brazilian Real, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso and Singapore Dollar.
Taxes. The benefit for income tax was $18.1 million on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $122.3 million in the current year compared to a benefit for income tax of $2.6 million on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $6.8 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 14.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the effective tax rate of 39.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the effect of the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment loss.
Discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax, was $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and relates to the operating results of an acquired Furmanite business that was sold in December 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financing for our operations consists primarily of vendor financing and leasing arrangements, our Credit Facility (defined below) and cash flows attributable to our operations, which we believe are sufficient to fund our business needs. We are currently experiencing a continuation of the weak and uncertain macro environment in the industries in which we operate, with activity levels remaining below historical levels. If these conditions were to persist, our operating cash flows could be adversely impacted. If management were to determine that existing liquidity sources were no longer sufficient for our capital requirements, we would explore additional external financing sources. However, there can be no assurance that such sources would be available on terms acceptable to us.
Credit Facility. In July 2015, we renewed our banking credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). In accordance with the second amendment to the Credit Facility, which was signed in February 2016, the Credit Facility had a borrowing capacity of up to $600 million and consisted of a $400 million, five-year revolving loan facility and a $200 million five-year term loan facility. The swing line facility is $35.0 million. On July 31, 2017, we completed the issuance of $230.0 million of 5.00% convertible senior notes in a private offering (the “Offering,” which is described further below) and used the proceeds from the Offering to repay in full the outstanding term-loan portion of our Credit Facility and a portion of the outstanding revolving borrowings. Concurrent with the completion of the Offering and the repayment of outstanding borrowings, we entered into the sixth amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Sixth Amendment”), effective as of June 30, 2017, which reduced the capacity of the Credit Facility to a $300 million revolving loan facility, subject to a borrowing availability test (based on eligible accounts, inventory and fixed assets). The Credit Facility matures in July 2020, bears interest based on a variable Eurodollar rate option (LIBOR plus 3.75% margin at September 30, 2017) and has commitment fees on unused borrowing capacity (0.75% at September 30, 2017). The Credit Facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends.
The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants, which were amended in May 2017 and July 2017 pursuant to the fifth amendment and the Sixth Amendment, respectively, to the Credit Facility. The covenants, as amended, require the Company to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter (i) a maximum ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Total

Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) of not more than 4.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018, of not more than 4.25 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2018 and not more than 4.00 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and each quarter thereafter, (ii) a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) of not more than 4.75 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2017, 4.25 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2017, 3.75 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018, 3.25 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2018 and 3.00 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and each quarter thereafter and (iii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Interest Coverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement). Under the Sixth Amendment, the Total Leverage Ratio covenant is eliminated until March 31, 2018, but the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio covenant is effective September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we are in compliance with the covenants in effect as of such date. The Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 8.34 to 1.00, 3.72 to 1.00 and 3.17 to 1.00, respectively, as of September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, we had $26.7 million of cash on hand and had approximately $51 million of available borrowing capacity through our Credit Facility. In connection with the repayment in full of the outstanding term-loan portion of our Credit Facility of $160.0 million on July 31, 2017 and the reduction in capacity of the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, we recorded a loss of $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 associated with the write-off of a portion of the debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017, we had $2.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that are being amortized over the life of the Credit Facility.
Although the Total Leverage Ratio covenant does not resume until March 31, 2018, had such covenant been in effect as of September 30, 2017, we would not have been in compliance based on our current financial metrics and it is reasonably possible that we may not be able to be in compliance with this requirement when it becomes effective. Management continues to execute various initiatives designed to reduce the Company’s obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility and improve operating cash flows. If we were to anticipate not being able to maintain compliance, we expect that we would enter into an amendment to the Credit Facility with our bank group in order to modify and/or to provide relief from the financial covenants for an additional period of time. However, there is no assurance that these actions will be effective in maintaining compliance with our Credit Facility covenants as of any future date.
In order to secure our casualty insurance programs, we are required to post letters of credit generally issued by a bank as collateral. A letter of credit commits the issuer to remit specified amounts to the holder if the holder demonstrates that we failed to meet our obligations under the letter of credit. If this were to occur, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer for any payments the issuer was required to remit to the holder of the letter of credit. We were contingently liable for outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaling $22.6 million at September 30, 2017 and $21.6 million at December 31, 2016. Outstanding letters of credit reduce amounts available under our Credit Facility and are considered as having been funded for purposes of calculating our financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
Issuance of Convertible Senior Notes. On July 31, 2017, we issued $230.0 million principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (the “Offering”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2018. The Notes will mature on August 1, 2023 unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 46.0829 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.70 per share, which represents a conversion premium of 40% to the last reported sale price of $15.50 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on July 25, 2017, the date the pricing of the Notes was completed. The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances as described in the indenture governing the Notes.
Holders may convert their Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding May 1, 2023, but only under the following circumstances:
• | during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; |
• | during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day; |
• | if we call any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or; |
39
• | upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the indenture governing the Notes. |
On or after May 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may, at their option, convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Because the Notes could be convertible in full into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock, we are required by the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange to obtain the approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock before the Notes may be converted into more than 5,964,858 shares of common stock. The Notes are initially convertible into 10,599,067 shares of common stock. We have agreed to seek approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock at our next annual stockholders’ meeting. The Notes will be convertible into, subject to various conditions, cash or shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case, at the Company’s election, except that prior to receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, the Company will settle conversion in cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
If holders elect to convert the Notes in connection with certain fundamental change transactions described in the indenture governing the Notes, we will, under certain circumstances described in the indenture governing the Notes, increase the conversion rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion.
We may not redeem the Notes prior to August 5, 2021. We will have the option to redeem all or any portion of the Notes on or after August 5, 2021, if certain conditions (including that our common stock is trading at or above 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive)), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Net proceeds received from the Offering were approximately $222.3 million after deducting discounts, commissions and expenses. We used $160.0 million of the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under the term-loan portion of our Credit Facility and $62.3 million of the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility, which may be subsequently reborrowed for general corporate purposes.
Cancellation of At-The-Market Offering Program. On July 31, 2017, we delivered written notice to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”) of our termination of the ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement, dated November 28, 2016 (the “Sales Agreement”), pursuant to Section 9(a) thereof. The Sales Agreement is terminable by us or the Agents for any reason at any time without penalty upon three days’ written notice to the other party. Under the Sales Agreement, were entitled to issue and sell, from time to time, through or to the Agents, shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150 million in an “at-the-market” offering program (the “ATM Program”). From November 28, 2016, when the ATM Program was announced, until December 2016, approximately 168,000 shares of common stock were sold under the ATM Program, generating approximately $6 million in proceeds. No shares of common stock were sold under the ATM Program during 2017.
Cost Savings Initiative. On July 24, 2017, we announced our commitment to a cost savings initiative to take direct actions to reduce our overall cost structure given the ongoing weak and uncertain macro environment in the industries in which we operate. The cost savings initiative includes reductions to discretionary spending and the elimination of certain employee positions. Based upon estimates from our current planning model for workforce reductions, we expect that such actions will ultimately reduce our annual operating expenses by approximately $30 million, with the impact to operating results of those reduction synergies beginning in the third quarter of 2017. The resulting severance and related charges, which were recorded in the third quarter of 2017, were approximately $2.6 million, most of which was paid in cash during the quarter. Although this cost savings initiative is largely complete, the Company has engaged an external consultant to assist management with analyzing the Company’s operating and corporate cost structure. We are in the early stages of this project and formal plans have not yet been developed. The Company expects any cost reduction initiatives from this second phase to be in addition to the previously announced program to reduce the annual operating expense run rate by approximately $30 million. Although management expects that cost savings will result from these actions, there can be no assurance that such results will be achieved.
ERP System. At the end of 2013, we initiated the design and implementation of a new ERP system, which is expected to be substantially installed by the end of 2017. Amortization of the ERP system development costs began in March 2017 and is computed by the straight-line method. Through September 30, 2017, we have capitalized $46.6 million associated with the project that includes $1.6 million of capitalized interest and we have recognized $1.9 million of amortization expense.
40
Stock Repurchase Plan. On June 23, 2014, our Board authorized an increase in the stock repurchase plan limit to $50.0 million. We did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, $7.9 million remained available to repurchase shares under the stock repurchase plan. Under the Credit Facility, the Company is limited in its ability to make stock repurchases unless the Total Leverage Ratio is below 2.50 to 1.00. Notwithstanding such provision, in the event that after giving pro forma effect to such repurchase, if Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is at least $15.0 million and the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, the Credit Facility generally permits the Company to make stock repurchases provided that such repurchases, plus any payments of cash dividends, do not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.
Shelf Registration Statement. In October 2016, we filed universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Shelf Registration Statement allows us to issue common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units from time to time in one or more offerings. Issuances of securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement will require the filing of a prospectus supplement identifying the amount and terms of the securities to be issued.
Restrictions on cash. Included in our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 is $9.1 million of cash in certain foreign subsidiaries (located primarily in Europe and Asia) where earnings are considered by the Company to be permanently reinvested. In the event that some or all of this cash were to be repatriated, we would be required to accrue and pay additional taxes. While not legally restricted from repatriating this cash, we consider all undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and access to cash to be limited.
Cash flows attributable to our operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $10.2 million. Negative operating cash flow was primarily attributable to the net loss of $104.1 million, deferred income tax benefits of $22.1 million and a non-cash gain on our convertible debt embedded derivative of $6.3 million, partially offset by the non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $75.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $38.7 million and non-cash compensation costs of $5.8 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $60.6 million. Positive operating cash flow was primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization of $35.4 million, a decrease in working capital of $20.6 million and non-cash compensation costs of $6.7 million partially offset by the net loss of $3.3 million.
Cash flows attributable to our investing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $24.5 million, consisting primarily of $26.5 million for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures included $1.7 million in costs related to our ERP project. Capital expenditures can vary depending upon specific customer needs or organization needs that may arise unexpectedly.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $74.9 million, consisting primarily of $48.4 million for business acquisitions (net of cash acquired) and $35.9 million of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures included $14.7 million in costs related to our ERP project.
Cash flows attributable to our financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $12.7 million consisting primarily of $222.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of our convertible senior notes, largely offset by $170.0 million in payments on our term loan and $37.4 million of net debt repayments under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $7.4 million consisting primarily of $31.0 million of net borrowings under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility, principally to fund the cash portion of the Furmanite acquisition, partially offset by $15.0 million payments on our term loan and $7.6 million in cash related to the purchase of stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plan.
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a positive impact of $2.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The positive impact in the current year is primarily attributable to favorable fluctuations in U.S. Dollar exchange rates with the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro and British Pound. The impact in the prior year is primarily due to favorable fluctuations in U.S. Dollar exchange rates with the Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, and the Euro, offset by unfavorable fluctuations in the British Pound.
Contractual Obligations
The information below supplements and revises the information on our contractual obligations set forth on page 31 of our 2016 Form 10-K and should be considered together with the contractual obligations disclosed in the 2016 Form 10-K.
41
On July 31, 2017, we issued $230.0 million principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023. The Notes will mature on August 1, 2023 unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Notes bear interest at rate of 5.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2018. Assuming the Notes remain outstanding through the maturity date, as of September 30, 2017, interest payment obligations associated with the Notes are $11.5 million per year from 2018 through 2023 for a total of $69.0 million over the remaining contractual term. With regard to our Credit Facility, the outstanding principal balance as of September 30, 2017 was $163.0 million, which is due at maturity in July 2020. We cannot predict with any certainty the amount of interest due to the expected variability of interest rates and principal amounts outstanding. If we assume interest payment amounts are calculated using the outstanding principal balances and interest rates as of September 30, 2017, the estimated interest payments on our Credit Facility would be approximately $2 million for the remainder of 2017, approximately $8 million for each of 2018 and 2019 and approximately $4 million for 2020 for a total of approximately $23 million over the remaining contractual period.
With regard to our defined benefit pension plan covering certain United Kingdom employees, we have recently agreed to certain contribution funding increases. Expected contributions to the pension plan are estimated to be approximately $2.4 million annually through 2032, for a total funding commitment of approximately $37 million.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We have operations in foreign countries with a functional currency that is not the U.S. Dollar. We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign currency fluctuations related to these operations. Subsidiaries with asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than their functional currency are remeasured in the preparation of their financial statements using a combination of current and historical exchange rates, with any resulting remeasurement adjustments included in net income (loss) for the period. Net foreign currency transaction losses (gains) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $0.6 million and $(0.2) million, respectively. The foreign currency transaction gains and losses realized relate primarily to fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar in relation to the British Pound and Canadian Dollar.
In 2015, we initiated a foreign currency hedging program to mitigate the foreign currency risk in countries where we have significant assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. We utilize monthly foreign currency swap contracts to reduce exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our largest exposures including, but not limited to the Brazilian Real, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso and Singapore Dollar. The impact from these swap contracts was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.
Translation adjustments for the assets and liability accounts are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency translation gains recognized in other comprehensive income were $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Based on the nine months ended September 30, 2017, foreign currency-based revenues and operating income of approximately $238.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all applicable foreign currencies would result in a change in revenues and operating income of $23.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
We carry Euro-based debt to serve as a hedge of our net investment in our European operations as fluctuations in the fair value of the borrowing attributable to the U.S. Dollar/Euro spot rate will offset translation gains or losses attributable to our investment in our European operations. We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign currency fluctuations related to the unhedged portion of our investment in our European operations.
On July 31, 2017, we issued $230.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023. The Notes are initially convertible into 10,599,067 shares of our common stock. Because we could be required to cash-settle a portion of the conversion feature of the Notes, we have recorded an embedded derivative liability for the conversion feature for approximately 60% of the Notes pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative liability reflected in our results of operations each period. Gains and/or losses on the embedded derivative liability will continue to impact our results of operations unless and until we receive stockholder approval for the issuance of more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock upon conversion of the Notes. The valuation of such derivative liability is highly sensitive to changes in the price of our common stock. Generally, decreases in our stock price will result in gains, while increases in our stock price will result in losses. As such, movement in our stock price could materially and adversely affect our financial results, including our net income (loss) as well as increase the volatility of our financial results from period to period. The Company recorded a gain on this embedded derivative of $6.3 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. This gain is primarily a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price from the issuance date of the Notes. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the embedded derivative reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $15.1 million.
42
We hold certain floating-rate obligations. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to potential increases in interest rates related to our debt.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
43
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Con Ed Matter—We have, from time to time, provided temporary leak repair services to the steam system of Consolidated Edison Company of New York (“Con Ed”) located in New York City. In July 2007, a Con Ed steam main located in midtown Manhattan ruptured resulting in one death and other injuries and property damage. As of September 30, 2017, sixty-eight lawsuits are currently pending against Con Ed, the City of New York and Team in the Supreme Court of New York, alleging that our temporary leak repair services may have contributed to the cause of the rupture, allegations which we dispute. The lawsuits seek generally unspecified compensatory damages for personal injury, property damage and business interruption. Additionally, Con Ed is alleging that our contract with Con Ed requires us to fully indemnify and defend Con Ed for all claims asserted against Con Ed including those amounts that Con Ed has paid to settle with certain plaintiffs for undisclosed sums as well as Con Ed’s own alleged damages to its infrastructure. Con Ed filed an action to join Team and the City of New York as defendants in all lawsuits filed against Con Ed that did not include Team and the City of New York as direct defendants. We are vigorously defending the lawsuits and Con Ed’s claim for indemnification. We are unable to estimate the amount of liability to us, if any, associated with these lawsuits and the claim for indemnification. We filed a motion to dismiss in April 2016. We maintain insurance coverage, subject to a deductible limit of $250,000, which we believe should cover these claims. We have not accrued any liability in excess of the deductible limit for the lawsuits. We do not believe the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Patent Infringement Matters—In December 2014, our subsidiary, Quest Integrity Group, LLC, filed three patent infringement lawsuits against three different defendants, two in the U.S. District of Delaware and one in the U.S. District of Western Washington. Quest Integrity alleges that the three defendants infringed Quest Integrity’s patent, entitled “2D and 3D Display System and Method for Furnace Tube Inspection”. This Quest Integrity patent generally teaches a system and method for displaying inspection data collected during the inspection of furnace tubes in petroleum and petro-chemical refineries. The subject patent litigation is specific to the visual display of the collected data and does not relate to Quest Integrity’s underlying advanced inspection technology. In these lawsuits Quest Integrity is seeking temporary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Defendants have denied they infringe any valid claim of Quest Integrity’s patent, and have asserted declaratory judgment counterclaims that the patent at issue is invalid and/or unenforceable, and not infringed. In June 2015, the U.S. District of Delaware denied our motions for preliminary injunctive relief in the Delaware Cases (that is, our request that the defendants stop using our patented systems and methods during the pendency of the actions). In March 2017, the judge in the Delaware Cases granted summary judgment against Quest Integrity, finding certain patent claims of the asserted patent invalid. In August 2017, the judge in the Washington Case granted summary judgment against Quest Integrity based on the Delaware Cases ruling. Quest Integrity is in the process of appealing both Delaware Cases and is planning to appeal the Washington Case.
We are involved in various other lawsuits and are subject to various claims and proceedings encountered in the normal conduct of business. In our opinion, any uninsured losses that might arise from these lawsuits and proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
The risk factors below supplement and revise the other risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2016 Form 10-K. These risk factors should be considered together with the other risk factors described in the 2016 Form 10-K. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Item 1A have the meanings ascribed to them in the 2016 Form 10-K.
We are subject to risks associated with indebtedness under our banking credit facility, including the risk of failure to maintain compliance with financial covenants, the risk of being unable to make interest and principal payments when due and the risk of rising interest rates.
Our banking credit facility contains financial covenants, which were amended in May 2017 and July 2017 pursuant to the fifth amendment and the Sixth Amendment, respectively, to the Credit Facility. The covenants, as amended, require the Company to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter (i) a maximum ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Total Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) of not more than 4.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018, of not more than 4.25 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2018 and not more than 4.00 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and each quarter thereafter, (ii) a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) of not more than 4.75 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2017, 4.25 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2017, 3.75 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018, 3.25 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2018 and 3.00 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and each quarter thereafter and (iii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Interest Coverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility
44
agreement). Under the Sixth Amendment, the Total Leverage Ratio covenant is eliminated until March 31, 2018 and the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio covenant is effective September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we are in compliance with the covenants in effect as of such date. The Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 8.34 to 1.00, 3.72 to 1.00 and 3.17 to 1.00, respectively, as of September 30, 2017.
Although the Total Leverage Ratio covenant does not resume until March 31, 2018, had such covenant been in effect as of September 30, 2017, we would not have been in compliance based on our current financial metrics and it is reasonably possible that we may not be able to be in compliance with this requirement when it becomes effective. Management continues to execute various initiatives designed to reduce the Company’s obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility and improve operating cash flows. If we were to anticipate not being able to maintain compliance, we expect that we would enter into an amendment to the Credit Facility with our bank group in order to modify and/or to provide relief from the financial covenants for an additional period of time. However, there is no assurance that these actions will be effective in maintaining compliance with our Credit Facility covenants as of any future date.
We rely primarily on cash flows from our operations to make required interest and principal payments on our debt under the Credit Facility. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations, we may be unable to pay interest and principal obligations on our debt when they become due. Failure to comply with these obligations or failure to comply with the financial covenants discussed above could result in an event of default, which would permit our lenders to accelerate the repayment of the debt. If our lenders accelerate the repayment of debt, there is no assurance that we could refinance such debt on terms favorable to us or at all.
Also, our debt under the Credit Facility bears interest at variable rates and therefore we are exposed to the risk of rising market interest rates, which could adversely impact our cash flows and increase our interest expense. Further, our Credit Facility restricts our ability to, among other items, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions and dispositions and alter the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries. These restrictions could adversely affect our ability to operate our businesses and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise.
The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash may have a material effect on our reported financial results.
On July 31, 2017 we issued $230.0 million principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) in a private offering. Accordingly, the issuance of the Notes and the subsequent accounting associated with the Notes has been reflected in our consolidated financial statements beginning in the third quarter of 2017.
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, (“ASC 470-20”), an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of the convertible debt instruments (such as the Notes) that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for the Notes is that the equity component is included in the additional paid-in capital section of equity on our consolidated balance sheet, and the value of the equity component is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the Notes. As a result, we are recording a greater amount of non-cash interest expense as a result of the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the Notes to their face amount over the term of the Notes. We will report lower net income (or greater net loss) in our financial results because ASC 470-20 requires interest to include both the current period’s amortization of the debt discount and the instrument’s coupon interest, which could adversely affect our reported or future financial results, the market price of our common stock and the trading price of the Notes.
Also, because the Notes could be convertible in full into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock, we have agreed to seek the approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock at our next annual stockholders’ meeting for the issuance of more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock upon conversion of the Notes. Unless and until we receive stockholder approval, holders may only surrender their Notes for conversion for cash or a combination of cash and common stock upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Accordingly, these circumstances could require us to cash-settle a portion of the conversion feature of the Notes. Because of this cash settlement requirement, we have recorded an embedded derivative liability for the conversion feature for approximately 60% of the Notes pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative liability reflected in our results of operations each period. Gains and/or losses on the embedded derivative liability will continue to impact our results of operations unless and until we receive stockholder approval. The valuation of such derivative liability is highly sensitive to changes in the price of our common stock. Generally, decreases in our stock price will result in gains, while increases in our stock price will result in losses. As such, movement in our stock price could materially and adversely affect our financial results, including our net income (loss) as well as increase the volatility of our financial results from period to period.

In addition, convertible debt instruments (such as the Notes) that may be settled entirely or partly in cash are currently accounted for utilizing the treasury stock method if we have the ability and intent to settle in cash, the effect of which is that the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share except to the extent that the conversion value of the Notes exceeds their principal amount. Under the treasury stock method, for diluted earnings per share purposes, the transaction is accounted for as if the number of shares of common stock that would be necessary to settle such excess, if we elected to settle such excess in shares, are issued. We cannot be sure that we will be able to demonstrate the ability or intent to settle the Notes in cash in any future reporting period or that future accounting standards will continue to permit the use of the treasury stock method. If we are unable to use the treasury stock method in accounting for the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, then we would utilize the if-converted method, which would require us to assume the Notes would be settled entirely in shares of common stock for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. In such case, our diluted earnings per share would be adversely affected.
Additional impairments of our goodwill and impairments of our intangible and other long-lived assets could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
As a result of past acquisitions, goodwill and other intangible assets comprise a substantial portion of our total assets. As of September 30, 2017, our goodwill totaled $284.7 million and our other intangible assets totaled $164.2 million. We assess or test goodwill for impairment at least annually in accordance with GAAP, while our other long-lived assets, including our finite-lived intangible assets, are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A decrease in our market capitalization or profitability or unfavorable changes in market, economic and industry conditions all would increase the risk of impairment. In the second and third quarters of 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger interim goodwill impairment tests. The indicators included, among other factors, the continued market softness and the related impacts on our financial results and our stock price. While the second quarter 2017 test indicated no impairment, our third quarter 2017 test resulted in an impairment loss of $75.2 million. Our annual goodwill impairment test is scheduled for December 1, 2017. Given the current weak and uncertain macro environment in the industries in which we operate, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the Company’s most recent goodwill impairment test will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Accordingly, we may be required to recognize additional impairment charges in future periods, which could materially and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Improvements in operating results from expected savings in operating costs from our recently announced reduction in workforce and other cost saving initiatives may not be realized in the estimated amounts, may take longer to be realized, or could be realized only for a limited period.
In order to address the reduction in revenues and operating income we have experienced over the past twelve months, we have recently commenced actions that will result in reductions in our workforce by eliminating certain employee positions and implementing other cost saving initiatives. Based upon estimates from our current planning model for these reductions, we expect that such actions will ultimately reduce our annual operating expenses by approximately $30 million, with the impact to operating results of those reduction synergies beginning in the third quarter of 2017. Due to numerous factors or future developments, we may not achieve those estimated cost reductions in such amounts or the benefits of the cost reductions may be delayed. These factors or future developments could include (i) the incurrence of higher than expected costs or delays in reassigning and retraining remaining employees or outsourcing or eliminating duties and functions of eliminated employees, (ii) unanticipated delays in discharging employees in eliminated positions as a result of regulatory or legal limitations on employee terminations in certain jurisdictions, (iii) actual savings differing from anticipated cost savings, and (iv) additional expenses as a result of the cost saving initiatives.
We may also decide to reduce, suspend or terminate our workforce reduction plan and other cost saving initiatives at any time before achieving the estimated cost savings or after a limited period of time. The elimination of current employees can also result in increased future costs in hiring, training and mobilizing new employees or rehires in the event of a future increase in demand for our services resulting in a slower recovery of results from operations. Our initiatives may negatively affect our ability to retain and attract qualified personnel, who may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the Company.
It is possible that these initiatives may have unintended adverse impacts on the Company or otherwise disrupt normal operations, which could result in unfavorable impacts to our operating results.
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety regulations.
We are subject to a variety of U.S. federal, state, local and international laws and regulations relating to the environment, and worker health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex, change frequently, are becoming increasingly stringent, and can impose substantial sanctions for violations or require operational changes that may limit our services. We must conform
46
our operations to comply with applicable regulatory requirements and adapt to changes in such requirements in all locations in which we operate. These requirements can be expected to increase the overall costs of providing our services over time. Some of our services involve handling or monitoring highly regulated materials, including VOCs or hazardous wastes. Environmental laws and regulations generally impose limitations and standards for the characterization, handling and disposal of regulated materials and require us to obtain permits and comply with various other requirements. The improper characterization, handling, or disposal of regulated materials or any other failure by us to comply with increasingly complex and strictly-enforced federal, state, local, and international environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or associated permits could subject us to the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory or remedial obligations, or the issuance of injunctions that could restrict or prevent our ability to operate our business and complete contracted services. A defect in our services or faulty workmanship could result in an environmental liability if, as a result of the defect or faulty workmanship, a contaminant is released into the environment. In addition, the modification or interpretation of existing environmental, health and safety laws or regulations, the more vigorous enforcement of existing laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulations may also negatively impact industries in which our customers operate, which in turn could have a negative impact on us.
Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” could result in reduced demand for our services and products.
There has been an increased focus in the last several years on climate change in response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases present an endangerment to public health and the environment. As a result, there have been a variety of regulatory developments, proposals or requirements and legislative initiatives that have been introduced in the United States (and other parts of the world) that are focused on restricting the emission of greenhouse gases. The adoption of new or more stringent legislation or regulatory programs limiting greenhouse gas emissions from customers for whom we provide repair and maintenance services could affect demand for our products and services. Further, some scientists have concluded that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere may produce physical effects, such as increased severity and frequency of storms, droughts, floods and other climate events. Such climate events have the potential to adversely affect our operations or those of our customers, which in turn could have a negative effect on us.

ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
On June 23, 2014, our Board authorized an increase in the stock repurchase plan limit to $50.0 million. We did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, $7.9 million remained available to repurchase shares under the stock repurchase plan. Under the Credit Facility, the Company is limited in its ability to make stock repurchases unless the leverage ratio is below 2.50 to 1.00. Notwithstanding such provision, in the event that after giving pro forma effect to such repurchase, if Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is at least $15.0 million and the Total Leverage Ratio less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, the Credit Facility generally permits the Company to make stock repurchases provided that such repurchases, plus any payments of cash dividends, do not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.
