NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

Effective June 29, 2018, Global Power Equipment Group Inc. changed its name to Williams Industrial Services Group Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “Williams,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise) to better align its name with the Williams business. Since March 19, 2019, the Company’s stock has traded on the OTCQX® Best Market under the ticker symbol “WLMS.” Williams has been safely helping plant owners and operators enhance asset value for more than 50 years. The Company provides a broad range of construction, maintenance and support services to customers in energy, power and industrial end markets. The Company’s mission is to be the preferred provider of construction, maintenance, and specialty services through commitment to superior safety performance, focus on innovation, and dedication to delivering unsurpassed value to its customers.

Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a basis consistent with that used in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed by the Company with the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2019 (the “2018 Report”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods indicated. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The December 31, 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2018 Report. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of operations to be expected for the full year.

The Company reports on a fiscal quarter basis utilizing a “modified” 4-4-5 calendar (modified in that the fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31). However, the Company has continued to label its quarterly information using a calendar convention. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist when comparing interim period results. The reporting periods and corresponding fiscal interim periods are as follows:

 

 

NOTE 2—LIQUIDITY

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes it will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations during the twelve-month period following the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (this “Form 10-Q”). These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

During 2018, management completed a series of multi-year liquidity initiatives, including:

The MidCap Facility generally provides adequate liquidity for the Company’s working capital needs. However, due to certain borrowing base eligibility limitations and exclusions within the MidCap Facility, there are instances where the Company would not have sufficient availability under the MidCap Facility to meet its growth working capital requirements. The borrowing base eligibility limitations and exclusions that have the most impact on availability under the MidCap Facility are customer concentration limits, exclusion of receivables from the Company’s joint ventures, and exclusion of receivables related to projects on which there is an underlying surety bond.

In early 2019, the Company identified a large, second quarter 2019 customer project which, for approximately a six week timeframe, had very significant working capital requirements. Additionally, the project had an underlying payment and performance surety bond making the resulting receivables unavailable for borrowing under the MidCap Facility. The combination of those two factors, if not addressed, would have resulted in the Company having inadequate cash to continue operations. On March 29, 2019, the Company negotiated a contract amendment with the customer which provided for the payment of the Company’s weekly invoices prior to the related payroll disbursements. Additionally, the Company obtained a consent letter from the lender which increased the Company’s borrowing availability by increasing the concentration limit on a major customer’s receivables during the second quarter. The Company believes the combination of these two measures adequately addressed its near-term liquidity concerns.

As of the date of this Form 10-Q, management has concluded that its plan has alleviated the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company’s liquidity will be periodically, and for certain intervals, significantly constrained due to the working capital requirements that will be needed to execute its plans to grow the business. The risk factors described in the 2018 Report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” are still relevant to the Company’s operations.

NOTE 3—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation–Stock Compensation” and applies to all share-based payment transactions to nonemployees in which a grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based awards. Upon adoption of ASU 2018-07, an entity should only re-measure liability-classified awards that have not been settled by the date of adoption and equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has not been established through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, which did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which gives entities the option to reclassify the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the enactment of comprehensive tax legislation in December 2017, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), to retained earnings. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 effective January 1, 2019 and elected not to reclassify the income tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and, as a result, there was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (ASC Topic 842), which, together with its related clarifying ASUs (collectively, “ASU 2016-02”), amended the previous guidance for lease accounting and related disclosure requirements. The new guidance requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with terms greater than twelve months or leases that contain a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Lessees are required to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For leases with a term of

twelve months or less, a lessee can make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize an asset and corresponding liability. Lessees will also be required to provide additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures are intended to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements and provide additional information about the nature of an organization’s leasing activities. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method, meaning it has been applied to leases that existed or have been entered into on or after January 1, 2019 without adjusting comparative periods in the financial statements. Please refer to “Note 4–Leases” for further discussion of the adoption and the impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).” This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software, including hosting arrangements that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. Further, this update requires the presentation of the expense in the statement of income, the presentation of the costs on the statement of financial position and the classification of payments in the statement of cash flows related to capitalized implementation costs to be treated the same as the fees of the associated hosting arrangement. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).” This amendment update modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods thereafter. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted, and the standard allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the update, while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". This update replaces the incurred loss methodology to record credit losses with a methodology which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within the fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption may have on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

NOTE 4—LEASES

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, which amended the previous guidance for lease accounting and related disclosure requirements. The new guidance requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with terms greater than twelve months or leases that contain a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Lessees are required to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 

The Company elected to utilize the package of practical expedients in ASC 842-10-65-1(f) that, upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, allowed entities to (1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) retain the classification of leases (e.g., operating or finance lease) existing as of the date of adoption and (3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method, and accordingly, the new guidance was applied to leases that existed as of January 1, 2019. This resulted in the recognition of lease liabilities of $8.7 million and right-of-use-assets of $8.5 million on January 1, 2019, which included the impact of eliminating prior year deferred rent. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

The Company primarily leases office space and related equipment, as well as equipment, modular units and vehicles directly used in providing services to our customers. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one to ten years. Most leases contain renewal options for varying periods, which are at the Company’s sole discretion and included in the expected lease term if they are reasonably certain of being exercised. For leases beginning in 2019 and thereafter, the Company accounts for lease components, such as fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes, and insurance costs, separately from the non-lease components, such as common area maintenance costs.

For leases with terms greater than twelve months, the Company records the related right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the present value of the fixed lease payments over the term at the commencement date. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease as the rate implicit in the lease is typically not readily determinable.

Short-term leases (leases with an initial term of twelve months or less or leases that are cancelable by the lessee and lessor without significant penalties) are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s short-term leases relate to equipment used in delivering services to its customers. These leases are entered into at agreed upon hourly, daily, weekly or monthly rental rates for an unspecified duration and typically have a termination for convenience provision. Such equipment leases are considered short-term in nature unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment will be leased for a term greater than twelve months.

The components of lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

Lease cost related to finance leases were not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Information related to the Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019 was as follows:

 

Supplemental information related to the Company’s leases for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was as follows:

 

Total remaining lease payments under the Company’s operating and finance leases are as follows:

 

 

NOTE 5—CHANGES IN BUSINESS

Restructuring Charges

In 2018, the Company made the decision to relocate its corporate headquarters to Tucker, Georgia and vacated its existing leased office space in Irving, Texas on September 30, 2018. The Company recorded exit costs related to the leased office space and the termination of certain personnel. The balance of the restructuring accrual is included in other current liabilities on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table shows the restructuring activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

In March 2019, the Company entered into a short-term sublease of its former headquarters facility in which the rental period is co-terminus with the primary lease, which ends in November 2019. Under the sublease arrangement, the sublessee is obligated to pay the Company sublease payments and the Company recognizes those payments as a reduction of the fixed lease costs. The sublease income was immaterial for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Discontinued Operations

Electrical Solutions

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made the decision to exit and sell its Electrical Solutions segment (which was comprised solely of Koontz-Wagner Custom Controls Holdings LLC (“Koontz-Wagner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) in an effort to reduce the Company’s outstanding term debt. The Company determined that the decision to exit this segment met the definition of a discontinued operation. As a result, this segment has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. In connection with the Company’s decision to sell the Electrical Solutions segment, the Company performed an impairment analysis on this segment’s finite- and indefinite-lived intangible assets (customer relationships and trade names, respectively) and determined that their carrying value exceeded their fair value. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $9.7 million related to these intangible assets. After the impairment charge, the fair value of this segment’s intangible assets was zero at December 31, 2017. Determining fair value is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, considered to be Level 3 inputs. There were no non-recurring fair value re-measurements related to the Electrical Solutions segment during the year ended December 31, 2018 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

In spite of the Company’s efforts, which included retaining financial advisors to sell all or part of Koontz-Wagner’s operations, inside or outside of a federal bankruptcy or state court proceeding (including Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), the proposed disposition did not progress as planned due, primarily, to the absence of viable bids in the sale process, the inability of Koontz-Wagner to fund its ongoing operations or obtain financing to do so, and Koontz-Wagner’s deteriorating

financial performance. As a result, on July 11, 2018, Koontz-Wagner filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The filing was for Koontz-Wagner only, not for the Company as a whole, and was completely separate and distinct from the Williams business and operations. 

As a result of the July 11, 2018 bankruptcy of Koontz-Wagner, the Company recorded $11.4 million of exit costs, which were included in loss from discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. These charges consisted of a $4.0 million fee related to a fifth amendment of the Initial Centre Lane Facility, a pension withdrawal liability of $2.9 million related to Koontz-Wagner’s International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 1392 multi-employer pension plan, a $1.8 million negotiated settlement of the Company’s guarantee of Koontz-Wagner’s Houston, Texas facility lease agreement and a $2.7 million liability as a result of the Company providing affected Koontz-Wagner employees with 60 days of salary continuation, as well as the difference between each employee’s cost of health care at the time of their employment termination and the cost of continued benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”). The Company satisfied the liability related to the lease guarantee settlement and substantially all of the salary and benefit continuation liability through cash payments by the end of 2018. The pension liability is expected to be satisfied by annual cash payments of $0.3 million each, paid in quarterly installments, over the next twenty years.

Mechanical Solutions

On March 21, 2018, the Company closed on the sale of its office building in Heerlen, Netherlands for $0.3 million, resulting in an immaterial gain on sale, which was reflected in loss from discontinued operations before income tax expense (benefit) in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

In connection with the sale of its Mechanical Solutions segment during 2017, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the purchaser to provide certain accounting and administrative services for an initial period of nine months. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not provide services for the purchaser. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company provided $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in services for the purchaser, which was included in general and administrative expenses from continuing operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In April 2019, the purchaser of our former Mechanical Solutions segment went into receivership and in connection with this event, the Company recognized a write down to the estimated fair value of its amounts due of $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. This charge was included in general and administrative expenses from continuing operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company has remaining balances of $0.2 million and $0.8 million included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, on the June 30, 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Management continues to monitor the status of the bankruptcy proceedings and believes the amounts recorded in its financial statements as of June 30, 2019 materially reflect the fair value of the related asset and liability.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any assets related to its Electrical and Mechanical Solutions’ discontinued operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of major classes of liabilities of Electrical and Mechanical Solutions’ discontinued operations:

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the major classes of line items constituting the net income (loss) from discontinued operations. In accordance with GAAP, the amounts in the table below do not include an allocation of corporate overhead.
