WILLIAMS INDUSTRIAL SERVICES GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
Williams Industrial Services Group Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “Williams,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise) was initially formed in 1998 as GEEG Inc., a Delaware corporation, and in 2001 changed its name to “Global Power Equipment Group Inc.,” and, as part of a reorganization, became the successor to GEEG Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company. Effective June 29, 2018, the Company changed its name to Williams Industrial Services Group Inc. to better align its name with the Williams business, and the Company’s stock trades on the NYSE American LLC under the ticker symbol “WLMS.” Williams has been safely helping power plant owners and operators enhance asset value for more than 50 years. It provides a broad range of construction, maintenance, and support services to infrastructure 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, 2022, filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2023 (the “2022 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 and 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, 2022 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 2022 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” 5-4-4 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:
Reporting Interim Period | Fiscal Interim Period | |||
| 2023 |
| 2022 | |
Three Months Ended March 31 | January 1, 2023 to April 2, 2023 | January 1, 2022 to April 3, 2022 | ||
Three Months Ended June 30 | April 3, 2023 to July 2, 2023 | April 4, 2022 to July 3, 2022 | ||
Three Months Ended September 30 | July 3, 2023 to October 1, 2023 | July 4, 2022 to October 2, 2022 |

NOTE 2—LIQUIDITY
As noted above, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with the 2022 Report, which contemplates that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which means that 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 months ended March 31, 2023 (this “Form 10-Q”). Therefore, 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.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, additional borrowings under the Term Loan and the Wynnefield Notes (each as defined below), and efforts to effectively manage its working capital. The Company continues to monitor its liquidity and capital resources closely.
The Company had negative cash flows from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023. These negative cash flows were primarily a consequence of the following factors:
● | Difficulties managing short-term negative cash flows that resulted from, among other things, having to fund significant weekly craft labor payrolls on large outage projects before those payrolls could be billed to the Company’s customers and collected. |
● | Losses incurred on a number of fixed price contracts in the Company’s Florida water business which, while they have been diminishing in magnitude relative to the losses the Company incurred on certain of these projects during fiscal year 2022, continue to consume cash and will do so until the relevant projects have been completed later in 2023. |
● | Costs related to the Company’s exit from its Tampa, Florida-based transmission and distribution operations and the pending process to exit its Norwalk, Connecticut-based transmission and distribution operations, both of which utilized cash resources and negatively impacted liquidity. |
● | Costs related to the ongoing process to wind-down the Company’s chemical projects in Texas. |
● | While the Company has significantly improved its days sales outstanding in recent quarters, the timing of billing and collecting cash from customers, particularly in a quarter with high revenues such as the first quarter of 2023, remained a challenge on a week-to-week basis. |
● | Funding certain of the Company’s past due accounts payable, the balances for which had become larger than the Company’s vendors were willing to accept. For this reason, the Company had to make payments to certain vendors to either reduce the amounts that were past due or otherwise bring such vendors current. |
● | The Company has been operating with a high level of borrowings as it has had to, among other things, fund prior period losses, and therefore when revenues were growing significantly in the first quarter of 2023, largely as a result of increased nuclear business due to a significant customer outage, the Company had to enter into amendments to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan to access additional funding to compensate for its working capital requirements. These amendments are described in further detail below. |
● | The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan both bear higher rates of interest than were in effect in prior periods and these higher interest charges must be funded by the Company, to the extent they are not deferred. |
● | The amendments to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan in the first quarter involved the incurrence of out-of-pocket counsel fees, both for the Company and for each of the lender groups involved, as well as to the Company’s financial advisors. |
● | The Company incurred expenses in the first quarter in connection with its ongoing review of strategic alternatives. These expenses included the fees and expenses of the Company’s financial advisors, tax advisors, and counsel. |
● | Notwithstanding the Company’s materially higher revenues in the first quarter, the Company was unable to convert pipeline opportunities into revenue sufficient to fund the losses and costs referred to above as well as fund its working capital requirements. |
A number of these factors have affected the Company’s liquidity in prior quarters and the Company anticipates that it will continue to experience constraints on its liquidity through at least the fourth quarter of 2023, due largely to many of the above factors persisting.
8
A variety of other factors can also affect the Company’s short- and long-term liquidity, the impact of which could be material, including, but not limited to: cash required generally for funding ongoing operations, projects and commitments relating to the Company’s status as a public company; matters relating to the Company’s contracts, including contracts billed based on milestones that may require the Company to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from its customers and others that allow for significant upfront billing at the beginning of a project, which temporarily increases liquidity in the near term; the outcome of potential contract disputes, which may be significant and involve liquidated damages and litigation; payment collection issues, including general payment slowdowns or other factors which can lead to credit deterioration of the Company’s customers; pension obligations requiring annual contributions to multiemployer pension plans; insurance coverage for contracts that require the Company to indemnify third parties; and issuances of letters of credit and bonding arrangements.
In connection with the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management assessed the Company’s financial condition and concluded that the above factors, taken in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the issuance of this Form 10-Q.
To address the negative cash flows in the Company’s business over recent quarters, the Company developed a liquidity plan, the implementation of which management believes may alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern during the twelve-month period following the issuance of this Form 10-Q.
The liquidity plan, which was developed and implemented in 2022 and continues to be refined as circumstances dictate, contemplates a number of key activities, including:
● | Amending the terms of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan to provide for the incurrence of additional indebtedness and amendments to the Company’s financial covenants to provide covenant relief in 2023. |
● | Exiting underperforming operations, including those in the transmission and distribution market, chemical market and water market, some of which have been completed and some of which are contemplated to be completed in the second half of 2023 with one project continuing until the first quarter of 2024. |
● | Executing numerous initiatives to aggressively reduce operating expenses, such as deferring certain non-essential expenses including the Company’s investments in an enterprise reporting system and its information technology spend, reducing headcount, deferral of executive salaries and board of director fees, and reductions in certain professional fees. |
● | Taking steps to lower the cost of services by, where possible, moving nonbillable labor resources to customer billable positions. |
● | Shortening the collection cycle time on the Company’s accounts receivable. |
● | Lengthening the payment cycle time on its accounts payable, to the extent reasonably possible. |
The amendments to the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan involved the Company entering into two separate amendments to each of the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, and an additional three separate amendments to such agreements during the first and second quarters of 2023. The first two amendments, among other things, revised certain terms contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan, respectively, and deferred principal payments on the Term Loan due on January 1, 2023 to January 9, 2023. The third and fourth amendments entered into during the first quarter of 2023, among other things, revised certain terms contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan and provided for delayed draw term loans under the Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $
The Company believes that the amendments to the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility, including the additional borrowings under the Term Loan, provided much needed support to the Company’s ongoing operations and have thus far permitted the Company to operate while it continues to engage in its process to explore strategic alternatives to maximize value for the Company and its shareholders and other stakeholders, but additional liquidity support is expected to be necessary.
9
The Company’s initiatives to exit certain underperforming operations have been ongoing since 2022. The Company exited its underperforming transmission and distribution operations in Florida and completed some underperforming chemical projects in Texas. The Company is in the process of exiting the transmission and distribution market in Connecticut, which it anticipates will be complete during the second quarter. The Company has completed several underperforming water projects in Florida and continues its various activities to complete its pending contracts and then exit the water business entirely. Although the Company expects that it will not complete its strategy to exit underperforming operations until the first quarter of 2024, the Company believes its actions will lead to improved profitability for the businesses that remain in operation by the Company and therefore continues to implement the related aspects of its liquidity plan.
While the core nuclear and fossil business exceeded the Company’s revenue forecast for the first quarter, and is continuing to perform well in the second quarter, revenue is expected to fall in the second half of 2023, as the Company’s outage services for a large customer are concluded at the end of the second quarter. As a result of anticipated falling revenues in the second half, the Company’s borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility, which is based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, will contract and contribute to a tightening of the Company’s liquidity at the same time as the financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan become more restrictive. This reduction in the amount of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility when combined with the ongoing cash costs associated with the exit from the Company’s remaining Florida water projects and the fees and expenses of professional advisors related to the Company’s review of strategic alternatives is expected to present further liquidity challenges to the Company in the second half of the year. Further funding will likely be necessary to address liquidity issues during 2023, possibly in the third quarter.
The Company’s ongoing process to review strategic alternatives has involved the Company paying fees and expenses to a number of professional advisors, including financial advisors and counsel. The Company has not disclosed a timetable for the conclusion of its review of strategic alternatives, nor has it made any decisions related to any further actions or possible strategic alternatives at this time. The Company does not intend to comment on the details of its review of strategic alternatives until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary. However, when the Company does start to pursue a particular outcome based on its review of strategic alternatives, the expenses required to be expended on the process may materially increase, further constraining the Company’s liquidity.
If the Company is unable to address any liquidity shortfalls that may arise based on any of the foregoing factors or others that may arise in the future, it will need to seek additional funding from third party sources, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, and the Company’s inability to obtain this capital or execute an alternative solution to its liquidity needs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s shareholders and creditors. Importantly, any such additional funding could only be obtained in compliance with the restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Company’s existing indebtedness. If the Company is unable to comply with its covenants under the agreements governing its indebtedness, or otherwise is unable to meet its obligations under such agreements, the Company’s liquidity would be further adversely affected. In addition, such occurrences could result in an event of default under such indebtedness and the potential acceleration of outstanding indebtedness thereunder and the potential foreclosure on the collateral securing such debt and would likely cause a cross-default under the Company’s other outstanding indebtedness or obligations.
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully build on its core nuclear and fossil business, implement its liquidity plan and take other steps to manage its liquidity, including, if necessary and available, by obtaining debt or equity financing to address the Company’s liquidity challenges and continue operations until the Company returns to generating positive cash flow or is otherwise able to execute a transaction pursuant to its review of strategic alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company.
If the Company’s liquidity improvement plan and the above-mentioned amendments to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan do not have the intended effect of addressing the Company’s liquidity problems through its review of strategic alternatives, the Company will continue to consider all strategic alternatives, including restructuring or refinancing its debt, seeking additional debt or equity capital, reducing or delaying the Company’s business activities and strategic initiatives, or selling assets, other strategic transactions and/or other measures, including obtaining relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not implement any new accounting pronouncements during the first three months of 2023. However, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of future disclosures that may arise under recent SEC proposals.

NOTE 4—LEASES
The Company primarily leases office space and related equipment, as well as equipment, modular units and vehicles directly used in providing services to its customers. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of
In accordance with ASU 2016-02, 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 lease term at the lease 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.
On September 2, 2021, the Company made the decision to relocate its corporate headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia and entered into a

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.
On July 11, 2018, Koontz-Wagner filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the 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 a pension withdrawal liability of $

NOTE 6—REVENUE
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company’s contracts generally include a single performance obligation for which revenue is recognized over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. For cost-plus contracts, the Company recognizes revenue when services are performed and contractually billable based upon the hours incurred and agreed-upon hourly rates. Revenue on fixed-price contracts is recognized and invoiced over time using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method. To the extent a contract is deemed to have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company does not adjust the price of the contract for the effects of a significant financing component. Change orders are generally not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. The Company believes these methods of revenue recognition most accurately reflect the economics of the transactions with its customers.
The Company’s contracts may include several types of variable consideration, including change orders, rate true-up provisions, retainage, claims, incentives, penalties, and liquidated damages. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using estimation methods that best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company includes variable consideration in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on an assessment of its anticipated performance and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The Company updates its estimate of the transaction price each reporting period and the effect of variable consideration on the transaction price is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. In circumstances where the Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome of a contract, it recognizes revenue over time as the work is performed, but only to the extent of recoverable costs incurred (i.e. zero margin). A loss provision is recorded for the amount of any estimated unrecoverable costs in excess of total estimated revenue on a contract as soon as the Company becomes aware. The Company generally provides a limited warranty for a term of

Contract Balances
The Company enters into contracts that allow for periodic billings over the contract term that are dependent upon specific advance billing terms, as services are provided, or as milestone billings based on completion of certain phases of work. Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have costs and estimated earnings recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as contract assets. Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have cumulative billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings recognized to date are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as contract liabilities. At any point in time, each project in process could have either contract assets or contract liabilities.

Basic earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of common shares that would be issued upon the vesting and release of restricted stock awards and units.
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations were calculated as follows:

The effects of the potentially outstanding service-based restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The effects of the potentially outstanding performance- and market-based restricted stock unit awards were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share because the performance and/or market conditions had not been satisfied as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.

The Company’s net deferred balance was primarily composed of indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities attributable to goodwill and trade names, and the indefinite lived deferred tax assets related to the post 2017 net operating losses and Section 163(j) interest addback. A full valuation allowance was applied to most of the remaining deferred balances. The indefinite lived deferred tax assets enabled the release of the valuation allowance to the extent that it can offset the indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities. Because all indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities are part of continued operations, and the release of valuation allowance is attributable to the future taxable income related to these deferred tax liabilities, the entire valuation allowance released was recorded in continuing operations according to ASC 740-20-45-3.
