CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Reporting for Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “CECO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2022 and the results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.

Unless otherwise indicated, all balances within tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

COVID-19

A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. As of June 30, 2022, the virus, including new emerging variants, continues to spread and has had a significant impact on worldwide economic activity, on macroeconomic conditions and the end markets of our business.

The outbreak and a continued spread of COVID-19 has resulted in a substantial curtailment of business activities worldwide and has caused weakened economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad. Although vaccines are available in various countries where we operate, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a negative impact on the Company's ongoing operations and the end markets in which it serves. However, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this filing, and as such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude or lasting impact that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the pandemic on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.

2. New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards adopted in Fiscal 2022

None.

Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which addresses how an acquirer should recognize and measure revenue contracts acquired in a business combination. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets was $1.5 million and $1.7 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $2.8 million and $3.4 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization over the next five years for finite life intangibles is expected to be $3.9 million for the remainder of 2022, $6.5 million in 2023, $5.6 million in 2024, $4.5 million in 2025, and $3.2 million in 2026.

The Company completes an annual (or more often if circumstances require) goodwill and indefinite life intangible asset impairment assessment on October 1. As a part of its impairment assessment, the Company first qualitatively assesses whether current events or changes in circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite life intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If there is a qualitative determination that the fair value is more likely than not greater than the carrying value, the Company does not need to quantitatively test for impairment. If this qualitative assessment indicates a more likely than not potential that the asset may be impaired, the estimated fair value is calculated. If the estimated fair value is less than carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded.

As of June 30, 2022, we reviewed our previous forecasts and assumptions based on our current projections, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including projected revenue, projected operational profit, terminal growth rates, and the cost of capital. The Company did not identify any triggering events during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 that would require an interim impairment assessment of goodwill or intangible assets.

The Company’s assumptions about future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, are subject to uncertainty, and the Company will continue to monitor these conditions in future periods as new information becomes available, and will update its analysis accordingly.

Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $20.7 million and $14.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding, respectively. Total unused credit availability under the Company’s senior secured term loan and senior secured revolver loan with sub-facilities for letters of credit, swing-line loans and senior secured multi-currency loans (the "Credit Facility") was $62.4 million and $45.9 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until December 17, 2026, at which time all outstanding balances of the Credit Facility must be repaid.

At the Company’s option, revolving loans and the term loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on either the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Agent’s prime lending rate, (c) Daily Simple SOFR plus the Daily Simple SOFR Adjustment of 0.11448% plus 1.0%, or (d) 1.0%, plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (“Base Rate”), or (d) a one/three/six-month Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Term SOFR Adjustment ranging from 0.11% to 0.43% plus 1.75% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Interest on swing line loans is the Base Rate.


Interest on Base Rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Interest on Term SOFR rate loans is payable on the last date of each applicable Interest Period (as defined in the agreement), but in no event less than once every three months and at maturity. The weighted average stated interest rate on outstanding borrowings was
3.85% and 2.54% at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility). Through September 30, 2023, the maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is 3.75, after which time it will decrease to 3.50 until the end of the term of the Credit Facility.


The Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations pursuant to the Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and such guaranty obligations are secured by a security interest on substantially all the assets of such subsidiaries, including certain real property. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement may also be guaranteed by the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries to the extent no adverse tax consequences would result to the Company.


As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

Joint Venture Debt

On March 7, 2022, our Effox-Flextor-Mader, Inc. joint venture ("EFM JV") entered into a loan agreement secured by the assets of the EFM JV in the aggregate principal amount of $11.0 million for the acquisition of General Rubber, LLC ("GRC"), as further described in Note 14. As of June 30, 2022, $10.5 million was outstanding under the loan. Principal will be paid back to the lender monthly with final installment due by February 27, 2027. Interest is accrued at the per annum rate based on EFM JV's choice of the 1/3/6 month Term SOFR rate plus 3.25%, with a floor rate of 3.75%. Interest is paid monthly on the last day of each month. The interest rate at June 30, 2022 was 3.90%. As of June 30, 2022, the EFM JV was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under this loan agreement. This loan balance does not impact the Company’s borrowing capacity or the financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Foreign Debt

The Company has a number of bank guarantee facilities and bilateral lines of credit in various foreign countries currently supported by cash, letters of credit or pledged assets and collateral under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility allows letters of credit and bank guarantee issuances of up to $65.0 million from the bilateral lines of credit secured by pledged assets and collateral under the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, $18.6 million in bank guarantees were outstanding. In addition, a subsidiary of the Company located in the Netherlands has a Euro-denominated bank guarantee agreement secured by local assets under which $0.7 million in bank guarantees were outstanding as of June 30, 2022. Additionally, a subsidiary of the Company in China recently entered into a renminbi ("RMB") denominated bank guarantee agreement secured primarily by local assets. As of June 30, 2022, the borrowers of these facilities and agreements were in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants.

For both the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 1.9 million, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 2.0 million and 1.7 million, respectively, of outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their having an anti-dilutive effect.

Once a restricted stock unit vests, it is included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Common Stock Repurchase

On May 10, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which CECO may purchase up to $20.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock through April 30, 2025. The authorization permits the Company to repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchases, block trades, 10b5-1 plans or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has repurchased and retired approximately 725,000 shares of common stock at a cost of $4.3 million.

9. Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for share-based awards, measured at the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Company recognized $0.9 million of share-based compensation related expense during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.8 million and $1.6 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company granted approximately 104,000 and 460,000 restricted stock units during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately 688,000 and 460,000 restricted stock units during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

There were zero and 2,000 options exercised during the six-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company received zero and $13,000 in cash from employees and a non-employee director exercising options during the six-months ended June 30, 2021. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the six-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was zero and $3,000, respectively.

10. Pension and Employee Benefit Plans

We sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain union employees. The plan is funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

We present the components of net periodic benefit cost (gain) within “Other income (expense), net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Retirement plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the expense consisted of the following:

We made no contributions to our defined benefit plan during the six-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the remainder of 2022, we do not expect to make any contributions to fund the pension plan. The unfunded liability of the plan of $5.4 million and $5.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, is included in “Other liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11. Income Taxes

We file income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. Tax years from 2018 forward remain open for examination by Federal authorities. Tax years from 2016 forward remain open for all significant state and foreign authorities.

We account for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $0.1 million, which is included in “Other liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, in income tax expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Certain of the Company’s undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested. Since foreign earnings have already been subject to United States income tax in 2017 as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we intend to repatriate foreign-held cash as needed. We record deferred income tax attributable to foreign withholding taxes that would become payable should we decide to repatriate cash held in our foreign operations. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have recorded deferred income taxes of approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

Income tax expense was $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $3.0 million for the first six months of 2022 compared with income tax expense of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $0.8 million for the first six months of 2021. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 28.3% compared with 34.3% for the second quarter of 2021. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2022 was 28.3% compared with 30.9% for the first six months of 2021. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is higher than the United States federal statutory rate. Our effective rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation and differences in tax rates among jurisdictions in which we operate.

12. Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, foreign debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, due to their short-term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates.

The fair value of the debt issued under the Credit Facility and joint venture term loan was $97.6 million and $65.5 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value was determined considering market conditions, our credit worthiness and the current terms of our debt, which is considered Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy.

12


 

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $34.4 million and $29.9 million, respectively, of which $26.5 million and $22.6 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, China, and Canada.

13. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters

Asbestos cases

Our subsidiary, Met-Pro Technologies LLC (“Met-Pro”), beginning in 2002, began to be named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. In management’s opinion, the complaints typically have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that Met-Pro, along with the numerous other defendants, sold unidentified asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including death) and loss to the plaintiffs. Counsel has advised that more recent cases typically allege more serious claims of mesothelioma. The Company’s insurers have hired attorneys who, together with the Company, are vigorously defending these cases. Many cases have been dismissed after the plaintiff fails to produce evidence of exposure to Met-Pro’s products. In those cases, where evidence has been produced, the Company’s experience has been that the exposure levels are low and the Company’s position has been that its products were not a cause of death, injury or loss. The Company has been dismissed from or settled a large number of these cases. Cumulative settlement payments from 2002 through June 30, 2022 for cases involving asbestos-related claims were $5.7 million, of which, together with all legal fees other than corporate counsel expenses, $5.6 million has been paid by the Company’s insurers. The average cost per settled claim, excluding legal fees, was approximately $44,000.

Based upon the most recent information available to the Company regarding such claims, there were a total of 256 cases pending against the Company as of June 30, 2022 (with Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia having the largest number of cases), as compared with 223 cases that were pending as of December 31, 2021. During the six-months ended June 30, 2022, 79 new cases were filed against the Company, and the Company was dismissed from 36 cases and settled 10 cases. Most of the pending cases have not advanced beyond the early stages of discovery, although a number of cases are on schedules leading to or scheduled for trial. The Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate for the cases currently pending against the Company and for the foreseeable future, assuming a continuation of the current volume, nature of cases and settlement amounts. However, the Company has no control over the number and nature of cases that are filed against it, nor as to the financial health of its insurers or their position as to coverage. The Company also presently believes that none of the pending cases will have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Other

The Company is also a party to routine contract and employment-related litigation matters, warranty claims and routine audits of state and local tax returns arising in the ordinary course of its business.

The final outcome and impact of open matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. In accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies,” and related guidance, we record accruals for estimated losses relating to claims and lawsuits when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

We are not aware of any pending claims or assessments, other than as described above, which may have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

14. Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

General Rubber LLC

On March 7, 2022, the Company, through the EFM JV, acquired 100% of the equity interests of General Rubber LLC ("GRC") for $19.7 million in cash, which was financed with a combination of a draw on the Company's revolving credit facility and issuance of term debt by the EFM JV (see Note 7). As additional consideration, the former owners were issued 10% of the equity interest in the EFM JV. The fair value ascribed to the equity interest was approximately $4.1 million. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, we recorded an adjustment of $0.9 million to the fair value of the equity interest, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity. As of June 30, 2022, there were $13.7 million in current assets, $28.5 million in long-lived assets, and $30.5 million in total liabilities related to the EFM JV included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisitions are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as we finalize the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These changes could result in material variances between the Company's future financial results, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items.

Goodwill recognized represents value the Company expects to be created by combining the various operations of the acquired businesses with the Company’s operations, including the expansion into markets within existing business segments, access to new customers and potential cost savings and synergies. Goodwill related to these acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition and integration expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are related to acquisition activities, which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses.

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

 

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

CECO Environmental Corp. (“CECO,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a leading environmentally focused, diversified industrial company whose solutions protect people, the environment, and industrial equipment. We focus on engineering, designing, building, and installing systems that capture, clean and destroy air- and water-borne emissions from industrial facilities as well as fluid handling, gas and water separation, and filtration systems. CECO provides innovative technology and application expertise that helps companies grow their businesses with safe, clean, and more efficient solutions to protect our shared environment.

CECO serves diverse industries globally by working to improve air and water quality, protect customer’s equipment, and provide customized engineered solutions in our customers’ mission critical applications. The industries CECO serves include power generation, petrochemical processing, general industrial, refining, midstream oil & gas, electric vehicle production, poly silicon fabrication, battery recycling, and wastewater treatment, along with a wide range of other industries.

COVID-19

A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic persists in geographic areas in which we have operations, suppliers, customers and employees, and has had a significant impact on worldwide economic activity and on macroeconomic conditions and the end markets of our business.

As a key supplier to critical infrastructure projects, CECO has worked to maintain ongoing operations. Within the United States, certain portions of our business have been designated an essential business, and we continue to operate our business in compliance with applicable state and local laws and are observing recommended Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to minimize the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus including implementing, where possible, work-from-home procedures and additional sanitization efforts where facilities remain open to provide necessary services. This allows us to continue to serve our customers, however, the COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted our international operations. Some of our facilities and our suppliers have experienced temporary disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we continue to work closely with our global supply chain to proactively support customers during this critical time. We cannot predict whether our facilities will experience more significant disruptions in the future or the impact on our suppliers.

The senior management team meets regularly to review and assess the status of the Company's operations and the health and safety of its employees. The senior management team continues to monitor and manage the Company’s ability to operate effectively. We are currently experiencing shortages of raw materials and inflationary pressures for certain materials and labor. We expect these supply chain challenges and cost impacts to continue for the foreseeable future as markets recover. Although we have secured additional raw materials from existing and alternate suppliers and have taken other mitigating actions to mitigate supply disruptions, we cannot guarantee that we can continue to do so in the future. In this event, our business, results and financial condition could be adversely affected. Although vaccines are available in various countries where we operate, health concern risks remain and notwithstanding the Company's continued efforts, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic could further impact our operations and the operations of our suppliers and venders, particularly in light of newly emerging variant strains of the virus becoming more dominant and the potential resumption of high levels of infection and hospitalization. We cannot predict whether any of our manufacturing, operations or suppliers will be disrupted by these events, or how long such disruptions would last. COVID-19 has had and may have further negative impacts on our operations, customers and supply chain despite the preventative and precautionary measures being taken.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These GAAP financial statements include certain charges the Company believes are not indicative of its core ongoing operational performance.

As a result, the Company provides financial information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides this non-GAAP financial information because the Company’s management utilizes it to evaluate its ongoing financial performance and the Company believes it provides greater transparency to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results.

The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin as a result of items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations. These include transactions associated with the Company’s acquisitions, divestitures and the items described below in “Consolidated Results.” The Company believes that evaluation of its financial performance compared with prior and future periods can be enhanced by a presentation of results that exclude the impact of these items. The Company has incurred substantial expense and income associated with the acquisition and divestitures. While the Company cannot predict the exact timing or amounts of such charges, it does expect to treat the financial impact of these transactions as special items in its future presentation of non-GAAP results.

We continue to experience shortages of raw materials and inflationary pressures for certain materials and labor. We expect these supply chain challenges and cost impacts to continue for the foreseeable future as markets recover. Although we have secured additional raw materials from existing and alternate suppliers and have taken other mitigating actions to mitigate supply disruptions, such as implementing price increases and applying material surcharges. We cannot guarantee that we can continue to do so in the future. In this event, our business, results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

22


 

When we undertake large jobs, our working capital objective is to make these projects self-funding. We work to achieve this by obtaining initial down payments, progress billing contracts, when possible, utilizing extended payment terms from material suppliers, and paying sub-contractors after payment from our customers, which is an industry practice. Our investment in net working capital is funded by cash flow from operations and by our revolving line of credit under our Credit Facility (as defined below).

At June 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $74.7 million, compared with $72.3 million at December 31, 2021. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.52 to 1.00 on June 30, 2022, as compared with a ratio of 1.62 to 1.00 at December 31, 2021.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $34.4 million and $29.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $26.5 million and $22.6 million, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were held by certain non-United States subsidiaries, as well as being denominated in foreign currencies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, guarantee obligations and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, assumptions used in business combination accounting and related balances, and pension and post-retirement benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management monitors economic conditions and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Management believes there have been no changes during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, other than as disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, including statements about management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance. We use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “will,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Potential risks and uncertainties, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and include, but are not limited to:

the sensitivity of our business to economic and financial market conditions generally and economic conditions in CECO’s service areas;

24


 

dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding estimates and method of accounting for revenue;
the effect of growth on CECO’s infrastructure, resources, and existing sales;
the ability to expand operations in both new and existing markets;
the potential for contract delay or cancellation as a result of on-going or worsening supply chain challenges;
the impact of employee-related cost inflation and labor shortages;
liabilities arising from faulty services or products that could result in significant professional or product liability, warranty, or other claims;
changes in or developments with respect to any litigation or investigation;
failure to meet timely completion or performance standards that could result in higher cost and reduced profits or, in some cases, losses on projects;
the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials, including as a result of tariffs and surcharges;
the substantial amount of debt incurred in connection with our strategic transactions and our ability to repay or refinance it or incur additional debt in the future;
the impact of federal, state or local government regulations;
our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock and the amounts and timing of repurchases, if any;
economic and political conditions generally;
our ability to successfully realize the expected benefits of our restructuring program;
our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize the synergies from strategic transactions; and
unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including cyber security threats, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities or public health crises, such as uncertainties regarding the extent and duration of impacts of matters associated with COVID-19, as well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors.

Many of these risks are beyond management’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. For the Company, these exposures are primarily related to changes in interest rates. We do not currently hold any derivatives or other financial instruments purely for trading or speculative purposes.

The carrying value of the Company’s total long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 2022 was $97.6 million. Market risk was estimated as the potential decrease (increase) in future earnings and cash flows resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase (decrease) in the Company’s estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, 2022. Most of the interest on the Company’s debt is indexed to SOFR market rates. The estimated annual impact of a hypothetical 10% change in the estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, 2022 is $0.4 million.

The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in several countries, including in the Netherlands, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Mexico, United Kingdom, Singapore, Shanghai, Pune India, Dubai and Chile. In the past, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure, and fluctuations in exchange rates have not materially affected our operating results. Future changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively impact our revenues, operating expenses and earnings. Since most of our foreign sales are denominated in the local currency, we do not anticipate that exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations will be material in 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022. Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the first six months ended June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
