Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. References to the “Company,” “EMCOR,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar words refer to EMCOR Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. Readers of this report should refer to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.
NOTE 2 New Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2017, we adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. We adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis. As a result of such adoption, approximately $41.7 million of net deferred tax assets, which were previously presented as “Prepaid expenses and other” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016, were reclassified as a reduction to “Other long-term obligations.”
On January 1, 2017, we adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. This guidance eliminates the requirement that an entity calculate the implied fair value of goodwill when measuring an impairment charge. Instead, an entity would record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. We adopted this pronouncement on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position and/or results of operations.
In February 2016, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis for each prior reporting period presented. We have not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on our financial position and/or results of operations.
In May 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The guidance permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. We currently anticipate adopting the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. We have commenced a process to evaluate the impact of the new pronouncement on our contracts, including identifying potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new guidance. We have made progress in reviewing our various types of revenue arrangements and expect to be substantially complete with such review in the second quarter of 2017. As a result of the review performed to date, we do not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on our financial position and/or results of operations, particularly as it relates to revenues generated from long-term construction, service maintenance, and time and materials contracts. However, our initial conclusion may change as we finalize our assessment. We are still evaluating the impact of the new standard on our shop services operations, which currently recognize revenue related to the engineering, manufacturing and repair of shell and tube heat exchangers when the product is shipped and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The adoption of the new standard may accelerate the timing of revenue recognition for such shop services if we determine control is transferred to our customers over time instead of at a point in time. We have also started drafting revised accounting policies and evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements on our business processes, controls and systems.

NOTE 3 Acquisitions of Businesses
On March 1, 2017 and January 4, 2017, we acquired two companies for a total consideration of $84.8 million. One company provides mobile mechanical services within the Western region of the United States, and its results have been included in our United States building services segment. The other company provides fire protection and alarm services primarily in the Southern region of the United States, and its results have been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. In connection with these acquisitions, we acquired working capital of $9.6 million, other net assets of $0.3 million and have preliminarily ascribed $28.7 million to goodwill and $46.2 million to identifiable intangible assets. We expect that all of the acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
The purchase price allocations for the businesses acquired in 2017 are still preliminary and subject to change during their respective measurement periods. The acquisition of these businesses was accounted for by the acquisition method, and the prices paid for them have been allocated to their respective assets and liabilities, based upon the estimated fair value of their assets and liabilities at the dates of their respective acquisitions by us.
On April 15, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Ardent Services, L.L.C. and Rabalais Constructors, LLC (collectively, “Ardent”). This acquisition has been included in our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. Ardent provides electrical and instrumentation services to the energy infrastructure market in North America, and this acquisition further strengthens our position in electrical construction and services and broadens our capabilities across the industrial and energy sectors, especially in the Gulf Coast, Midwest and Western regions of the United States. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100% of Ardent’s equity interests for total consideration of $201.4 million. In connection with the acquisition of Ardent, we acquired working capital of $34.1 million and other net assets of $3.9 million and have ascribed $121.9 million to goodwill and $41.5 million to identifiable intangible assets. We expect that $99.7 million of the acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. The weighted average amortization period for the identifiable intangible assets is approximately 13.5 years. We completed the final allocation of Ardent’s purchase price during the first quarter of 2017 with an insignificant impact.
On April 1, 2016, we acquired a company for an immaterial amount. This company provides mobile mechanical services within the Southeastern region of the United States, and its results have been included in our United States building services segment. The purchase price for this acquisition was finalized in 2016.
NOTE 4 Disposition of Assets
Due to a historical pattern of losses in the construction operations of our United Kingdom segment and our negative assessment of construction market conditions in the United Kingdom for the foreseeable future, we ceased construction operations in the United Kingdom during the third quarter of 2014. The results of the construction operations of our United Kingdom segment for all periods are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations.
The results of discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

| For the three months ended March 31, |
| 2017 |  | 2016 |
Revenues | $ | — |  |  | $ | 63 |  |
Loss from discontinued operation, net of income taxes | $ | (504 | ) |  | $ | (81 | ) |
Diluted loss per share from discontinued operation | $ | (0.01 | ) |  | $ | (0.00 | ) |

The loss from discontinued operations in 2017 was primarily due to legal costs related to the settlement of final contract balances on construction projects completed in prior years.

Credit Agreement
Until August 3, 2016, we had a credit agreement dated as of November 25, 2013 (as amended, the “2013 Credit Agreement”), which provided for a revolving credit facility of $750.0 million (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a term loan of $350.0 million (the “2013 Term Loan”). On August 3, 2016, we amended and restated the 2013 Credit Agreement to provide for a $900.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2016 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $400.0 million term loan (the “2016 Term Loan”) (collectively referred to as the “2016 Credit Agreement”) expiring August 3, 2021. The proceeds of the 2016 Term Loan were used to repay amounts drawn under the 2013 Term Loan, as well as a portion of the outstanding balance under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility. We may increase the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to $1.3 billion if additional lenders are identified and/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments. We may allocate up to $300.0 million of available capacity under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to letters of credit for our account or for the account of any of our subsidiaries. Obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by most of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of our assets and most of the assets of most of our subsidiaries. The 2016 Credit Agreement contains various covenants providing for, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain limitations on payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness and capital expenditures. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. A commitment fee is payable on the average daily unused amount of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which ranges from 0.15% to 0.30%, based on certain financial tests. The fee was 0.15% of the unused amount as of March 31, 2017. Borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement bear interest at (1) a base rate plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.75%, based on certain financial tests, or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.98% at March 31, 2017) plus 1.00% to 1.75%, based on certain financial tests. The base rate is determined by the greater of (a) the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (4.00% at March 31, 2017), (b) the federal funds effective rate, plus ½ of 1.00%, (c) the daily one month LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%, or (d) 0.00%. The interest rate in effect at March 31, 2017 was 1.98%. Fees for letters of credit issued under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility range from 1.00% to 1.75% of the respective face amounts of outstanding letters of credit and are computed based on certain financial tests. We capitalized an additional $3.0 million of debt issuance costs associated with the 2016 Credit Agreement. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the agreement and are included as part of interest expense. The 2016 Term Loan required us to make principal payments of $5.0 million on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, which commenced with the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2016. On December 30, 2016, we made a payment of $100.0 million, of which $5.0 million represented our required quarterly payment and $95.0 million represented a prepayment of outstanding principal. Such prepayment was applied against the remaining mandatory quarterly payments on a ratable basis. As a result, commencing with the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2017, our required quarterly

NOTE 7 Debt - (Continued)
payment has been reduced to $3.8 million. All unpaid principal and interest is due on August 3, 2021. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of the 2016 Term Loan was $296.2 million and $300.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had approximately $98.9 million and $91.9 million of letters of credit outstanding, respectively. There were $125.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
NOTE 8 Fair Value Measurements
We use a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets, is comprised of the following three levels:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs. Level 2 inputs would typically include quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the measurement and unobservable.
The following tables provide the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

| Assets at Fair Value as of March 31, 2017
Asset Category | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total
Cash and cash equivalents (1) | $ | 302,754 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 302,754 |
Restricted cash (2) | 3,308 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 3,308 |
Deferred compensation plan assets (3) | 18,778 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 18,778 |
Total | $ | 324,840 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 324,840 |

| Assets at Fair Value as of December 31, 2016
Asset Category | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total
Cash and cash equivalents (1) | $ | 464,617 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 464,617 |
Restricted cash (2) | 2,043 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 2,043 |
Deferred compensation plan assets (3) | 12,153 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 12,153 |
Total | $ | 478,813 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 478,813 |

________

(1) | Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds with original maturity dates of three months or less, which are Level 1 assets. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $134.9 million and $154.6 million, respectively, in money market funds.

(2) | Restricted cash is classified as “Prepaid expenses and other” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3) | Deferred compensation plan assets are classified as “Other assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that the carrying values of our financial instruments, which include accounts receivable and other financing commitments, approximate their fair values due primarily to their short-term maturities and low risk of counterparty default. The carrying value of our debt associated with the 2016 Credit Agreement approximates its fair value due to the variable rate on such debt.
NOTE 9 Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, our income tax provision from continuing operations was $26.8 million and $19.0 million, respectively, based on effective income tax rates, before discrete items and less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, of 37.8% for both periods. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, inclusive of discrete items, were 33.6% and 35.5%, respectively. The increase in the 2017 income tax provision was primarily due to increased income from continuing operations. The decrease in the actual income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to the reversal of reserves for previously unrecognized income tax benefits.
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits was $1.9 million and $4.0 million (of which $1.2 million and $2.2 million, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective income tax rate), respectively.

NOTE 9 Income Taxes - (Continued)
We report interest expense and/or income related to unrecognized income tax benefits in the income tax provision. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of accrued interest expense related to unrecognized income tax benefits included as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, $0.4 million of interest income and less than $0.1 million of interest expense, respectively, was recognized in the income tax provision.
It is reasonably possible that approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized income tax benefits at March 31, 2017, primarily relating to uncertain tax positions attributable to tax return filing positions, will significantly decrease in the next twelve months as a result of estimated settlements with taxing authorities.
We file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and various state, local and foreign tax agencies. The Company is currently under examination by various taxing authorities for the years 2012 through 2015. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company settled an examination with a taxing authority which resulted in the recognition of $3.3 million of income tax benefits upon the reversal of reserves for previously uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 10 Common Stock
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 59,255,759 and 59,946,984 shares of our common stock outstanding, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 117,034 and 198,127 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued primarily upon: (a) the satisfaction of required conditions under certain of our share-based compensation plans, (b) the exercise of stock options and (c) the purchase of common stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan.
On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. On December 5, 2013, October 23, 2014 and October 28, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $100.0 million, $250.0 million and $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock, respectively. During 2017, we have repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately $53.3 million. Since the inception of the repurchase programs through March 31, 2017, we have repurchased 12.2 million shares of our common stock for approximately $537.7 million. As of March 31, 2017, there remained authorization for us to repurchase approximately $112.3 million of our shares. The repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. We may repurchase our shares from time to time to the extent permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, including provisions in our credit agreement placing limitations on such repurchases. The repurchase programs have been and will be funded from our operations.
NOTE 11 Retirement Plans
Our United Kingdom subsidiary has a defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees (the “UK Plan”); however, no individual joining the company after October 31, 2001 may participate in the UK Plan. On May 31, 2010, we curtailed the future accrual of benefits for active employees under such plan.
Components of Net Periodic Pension Cost
The components of net periodic pension cost of the UK Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

| For the three months ended March 31, |
| 2017 |  | 2016 |
Interest cost | $ | 2,045 |  |  | $ | 2,685 |  |
Expected return on plan assets | (3,204 | ) |  | (3,701 | ) |
Amortization of unrecognized loss | 698 |  |  | 532 |  |
Net periodic pension cost (income) | $ | (461 | ) |  | $ | (484 | ) |

Employer Contributions
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our United Kingdom subsidiary contributed approximately $1.1 million to the UK Plan and anticipates contributing an additional $3.4 million during the remainder of 2017.

NOTE 12 Commitments and Contingencies
Government Contracts
As a government contractor, we are subject to U.S. government audits and investigations relating to our operations, including claims for fines, penalties and compensatory and treble damages, and possible suspension or debarment from doing business with the government. Based on currently available information, we believe the outcome of ongoing government disputes and investigations will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Legal Matters
One of our subsidiaries was a subcontractor to a mechanical contractor (“Mechanical Contractor”) on a construction project where an explosion occurred in 2010. An investigation of the matter could not determine who was responsible for the explosion. As a result of the explosion, lawsuits have been commenced against various parties, but, to date, no lawsuits have been commenced against our subsidiary with respect to personal injury or damage to property as a consequence of the explosion. However, the Mechanical Contractor has asserted claims, in the context of an arbitration proceeding against our subsidiary, alleging that our subsidiary is responsible for a portion of the damages for which the Mechanical Contractor may be liable as a result of: (a) personal injury suffered by individuals as a result of the explosion and (b) the Mechanical Contractor’s legal fees and associated management costs in defending against any and all such claims. The Mechanical Contractor previously asserted claims under the Connecticut and Massachusetts Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Acts, but such claims were recently withdrawn. The general contractor (as assignee of the Mechanical Contractor) on the construction project, and for whom the Mechanical Contractor worked, has alleged that our subsidiary is responsible for losses asserted by the owner of the project and/or the general contractor because of delays in completion of the project and for damages to the owner’s property. We believe, and have been advised by counsel, that we have a number of meritorious defenses to all such matters. We believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Notwithstanding our assessment of the final impact of this matter, we are not able to estimate with any certainty the amount of loss, if any, which would be associated with an adverse resolution.
We are involved in several other proceedings in which damages and claims have been asserted against us. We believe that we have a number of valid defenses to such proceedings and claims and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. Other potential claims may exist that have not yet been asserted against us. We do not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation matters for which liabilities have not been recorded could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Restructuring expenses
Restructuring expenses, primarily relating to employee severance obligations, were $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, the balance of these restructuring obligations yet to be paid was $0.2 million, which is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2017. No material expenses in connection with restructuring from continuing operations are expected to be incurred during the remainder of 2017.
The changes in restructuring activity by reportable segments during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

|  | United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment |  | United States building services segment |  | Total

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

We are one of the largest electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services firms in the United States. In addition, we provide a number of building services and industrial services. Our services are provided to a broad range of commercial, industrial, utility and institutional customers through approximately 75 operating subsidiaries and joint venture entities. Our offices are located in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Impact of Acquisitions
In order to provide a more meaningful period-over-period discussion of our operating results, we may discuss amounts generated or incurred (revenues, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and operating income) from companies acquired. The amounts discussed reflect the acquired companies’ operating results in the current reported period only for the time period these entities were not owned by EMCOR in the comparable prior reported period.

The results of our operations for the 2017 first quarter set new company records in terms of revenues, operating income, net income attributable to EMCOR Group, Inc. and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations for a first quarter. Revenues increased within all of our reportable segments, except for our United Kingdom building services segment and our United States building services segment. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to our domestic construction segments due to: (a) a significant increase in revenues within the commercial market sector, primarily as a result of work performed on several telecommunication construction projects, and (b) increased activity within the transportation, healthcare and water and wastewater market sectors. In addition, companies acquired in 2017 and 2016, which are reported in our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, and our United States building services segment, generated incremental revenues of $77.7 million. The decrease in revenues from our United Kingdom building services segment was due to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar.
Operating income and operating margin (operating income as a percentage of revenues) increased within all of our reportable segments, except for our United States industrial services segment and our United Kingdom building services segment. The increase in operating income and operating margin was mainly attributable to the results of our domestic construction segments, which were favorably impacted by a significant increase in gross profit within the commercial market sector, primarily as a result of work performed on several telecommunication construction projects. In addition, operating income and operating margin increased within our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment as a result of improved operating performance within the transportation market sector. The results for the 2017 first quarter were favorably impacted by the recovery of certain contract costs previously disputed on a project that was completed in the prior year within the United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. Companies acquired in 2017 and 2016 generated an operating loss of $0.6 million, inclusive of $3.3 million of amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets.
Operating Segments
Our reportable segments reflect certain reclassifications of prior year amounts from our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment to our United States building services segment due to changes in our internal reporting structure.
We have the following reportable segments which provide services associated with the design, integration, installation, start-up, operation and maintenance of various systems: (a) United States electrical construction and facilities services (involving

As described below in more detail, our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased to $1.89 billion compared to $1.74 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to: (a) increased revenues from both of our domestic construction segments and (b) increased revenues from our mobile mechanical services operations within our United States building services segment. In addition, companies acquired in 2017 and 2016, which are reported in our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and our United States building services segment, generated incremental revenues of $77.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were $443.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to revenues of $348.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Excluding the acquisition of Ardent Services, L.L.C. and Rabalais Constructors, LLC (collectively, “Ardent”), the increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in revenues from commercial and transportation construction projects, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from healthcare and hospitality construction projects. The increase in revenues within the commercial market sector was primarily as a result of work performed on several telecommunication construction projects. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included $43.8 million of incremental revenues generated by Ardent.

Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $671.1 million, a $62.7 million increase compared to revenues of $608.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to an increase in revenues from the commercial, healthcare and water and wastewater construction projects. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included $16.8 million of incremental revenues generated by a company acquired in 2017.
Revenues of our United States building services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased by $3.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to: (a) the loss of certain contracts not renewed pursuant to rebid within our commercial and government site-based services operations, (b) a reduction in snow removal activities within our commercial site-based services operations and (c) a reduction in large project activity within our energy services operations. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenues from our mobile mechanical services operations as a result of greater project, service and controls activities. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included $17.1 million of incremental revenues generated by companies acquired in 2017 and 2016.
Revenues of our United States industrial services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by $1.0 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in revenues was attributable to an increase in turnaround activity from our field services operations and a slight increase in revenues from our shop services operations, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from our specialty services offerings as the prior year period benefited from increased large project activity.
Our United Kingdom building services segment revenues were $79.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to revenues of $87.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This segment’s revenues were negatively impacted by $12.2 million related to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar resulting, in part, from the decision by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union. Excluding the adverse impact of unfavorable exchange rates, revenues increased as a result of new contract awards within the commercial market sector, which were partially offset by a decrease in revenues from small project activity with existing customers.
Backlog
The following table presents our operating segment backlog from unrelated entities and their respective percentages of total backlog (in thousands, except for percentages):

| March 31, 2017 |  | % of Total |  | December 31, 2016 |  | % of Total |  | March 31, 2016 |  | % of Total
Backlog: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

United Kingdom building services | 145,709 |  |  | 4 | % |  | 149,530 |  |  | 4 | % |  | 153,090 |  |  | 4 | %
Total worldwide operations | $ | 3,973,858 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 3,902,922 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 3,851,413 |  |  | 100 | %

Our backlog at March 31, 2017 was $3.97 billion compared to $3.90 billion at December 31, 2016 and $3.85 billion at March 31, 2016. The increase in backlog at March 31, 2017 compared to backlog at December 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to an increase in backlog from all of our reportable segments, inclusive of acquisitions, except for our United Kingdom building services segment and our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. Backlog increases with awards of new contracts and decreases as we perform work on existing contracts. Backlog is not a term recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles; however, it is a common measurement used in our industry. We include a project within our backlog at such time as a contract is awarded and agreement on contract terms has been reached. Backlog includes unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts plus unrecognized revenues expected to be realized over the remaining term of services contracts. However, we do not include in backlog contracts for which we are paid on a time and material basis and a fixed amount cannot be determined, and if the remaining term of a services contract exceeds 12 months, the unrecognized revenues attributable to such contract included in backlog are limited to only the next 12 months of revenues provided for in the contract award. Our backlog also includes amounts related to services contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned when a reasonable estimate of total revenues can be made from budgeted amounts agreed to with our customer. Our backlog is comprised of: (a) original contract amounts, (b) change orders for which we have received written confirmations from our customers, (c) pending change orders for which we expect to receive confirmations in the ordinary course of business and (d)

claim amounts that we have made against customers for which we have determined we have a legal basis under existing contractual arrangements and as to which we consider recovery to be probable. Such claim amounts were immaterial for all periods presented. Our backlog does not include anticipated revenues from unconsolidated joint ventures or variable interest entities and anticipated revenues from pass-through costs on contracts for which we are acting in the capacity of an agent and which are reported on the net basis. We believe our backlog is firm, although many contracts are subject to cancellation at the election of our customers. Historically, cancellations have not had a material adverse effect on us.
Cost of sales and Gross profit
The following table presents our cost of sales, gross profit (revenues less cost of sales) and gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenues) (in thousands, except for percentages):

| For the three months ended March 31, |
| 2017 |  | 2016 |
Cost of sales | $ | 1,625,392 |  |  | $ | 1,521,862 |  |
Gross profit | $ | 266,340 |  |  | $ | 223,108 |  |
Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues | 14.1 | % |  | 12.8 | % |

Our gross profit increased by $43.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. Our gross profit margin was 14.1% and 12.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Gross profit and gross profit margin increased within all of our reportable segments, except for our United Kingdom building services segment and our United States industrial services segment. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily attributable to improved operating performance within our domestic construction segments. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin within the United States electrical construction and facilities services segment was partially due to improved operating performance as this segment incurred losses on two projects within the transportation market sector during the first quarter of 2016. Gross profit and gross profit margin within the United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment were favorably impacted by the recovery of certain contract costs previously disputed on a project that was completed in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
The following table presents our selling, general and administrative expenses and SG&A margin (selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues) (in thousands, except for percentages):

| For the three months ended March 31, |
| 2017 |  | 2016 |
Selling, general and administrative expenses | $ | 183,001 |  |  | $ | 167,402 |  |
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues | 9.7 | % |  | 9.6 | % |

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by $15.6 million to $183.0 million compared to $167.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to $12.4 million of incremental expenses related to companies acquired in 2017 and 2016, including amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $1.6 million. The remaining increase was due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses within our domestic construction segments, primarily as a result of an increase in employee related costs such as incentive compensation and salaries. Increased incentive compensation was principally due to higher projected annual operating results than in the same prior year period for the domestic construction segments, which resulted in increased accruals for certain of our incentive compensation plans. The increase in salaries was attributable to an increase in headcount due to higher revenues than in the same prior year period for the domestic construction segments, as well as cost of living adjustments and merit pay increases. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 9.7% and 9.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Restructuring expenses
Restructuring expenses, primarily relating to employee severance obligations, were $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, the balance of these restructuring obligations yet to be paid was $0.2 million, which is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2017. No material expenses in connection with restructuring from continuing operations are expected to be incurred during the remainder of 2017.

As described below in more detail, operating income was $82.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $55.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Operating margin was 4.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Operating income and operating margin benefited from the recovery of certain contract costs previously disputed on a project within the United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, which resulted in a 0.3% favorable impact on the Company’s operating margin.
Operating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $31.0 million compared to operating income of $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in operating income was attributable to an increase in gross profit from: (a) the commercial market sector, primarily as a result of work performed on several telecommunication construction projects, and (b) the transportation market sector, as a result of improved operating performance. This segment’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included an operating loss of $1.7 million, inclusive of $0.7 million of amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets, related to the acquisition of Ardent. The increase in operating margin was partially attributable to improved operating performance as the prior year period was negatively impacted by losses incurred on two transportation construction projects.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $40.4 million, a $16.7 million increase compared to operating income of $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was attributable to an increase in gross profit from manufacturing, commercial and water and wastewater construction projects. Additionally, this segment’s operating income benefited from the recovery of certain contract costs previously disputed on a project, which resulted in a 0.9% favorable impact on this segment’s operating margin. A company acquired in 2017 contributed incremental operating income of $0.4 million, net of $2.0 million of amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was attributable to an increase in gross profit margin.
Operating income of our United States building services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by $0.2 million compared to operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was attributable to an increase in gross profit from project, service and controls activities within our mobile mechanical services operations. Additionally, companies acquired in 2017 and 2016 within our mobile mechanical services operations, contributed incremental operating income of $0.7 million, net of $0.6 million of amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in operating income was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit from our commercial site-based services operations as a result of: (a) the loss of certain contracts not renewed pursuant to rebid and (b) a decrease in revenues from snow removal activities. Operating margin was 3.2% for both periods.

Operating income of our United States industrial services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased by $1.8 million compared to operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was attributable to a decrease in gross profit from specialty services offerings within our field services operations as a result of reduced large project activity. The decrease in operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was attributable to a decrease in gross profit margin.
Our United Kingdom building services segment operating income was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to operating income of $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primary attributable to: (a) decrease in gross profit from project activity and (b) an increase in mobilization costs related to certain new contract awards. This segment’s results also included a decrease of $0.2 million relating to the effect of unfavorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar. The decrease in operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was attributable to a decrease in gross profit margin due to revenue mix.
Our corporate administration operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $21.1 million compared to $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $3.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased outstanding borrowings and a higher United States dollar LIBOR rate. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, our income tax provision from continuing operations was $26.8 million and $19.0 million, respectively, based on effective income tax rates, before discrete items and less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, of 37.8% for both periods. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, inclusive of discrete items, were 33.6% and 35.5%, respectively. The increase in the 2017 income tax provision was primarily due to increased income from continuing operations. The decrease in the actual income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to the reversal of reserves for previously unrecognized income tax benefits.
Discontinued operations
Due to a historical pattern of losses in the construction operations of our United Kingdom segment and our negative assessment of construction market conditions in the United Kingdom for the foreseeable future, we ceased construction operations in the United Kingdom during the third quarter of 2014. The results of the construction operations of our United Kingdom segment for all periods are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table presents our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities (in thousands):

| For the three months ended March 31,
| 2017 |  | 2016
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (5,170 | ) |  | $ | (37,161 | )
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (91,569 | ) |  | $ | (8,786 | )
Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (65,614 | ) |  | $ | (47,300 | )
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | $ | 490 |  |  | $ | (1,220 | )

Our consolidated cash balance decreased by approximately $161.9 million from $464.6 million at December 31, 2016 to $302.8 million at March 31, 2017. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $5.2 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $37.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an $18.3 million increase in net income and improved cash flows from accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities was $91.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the increase in payments for acquisitions of businesses. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by approximately $18.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the increase in funds used for the repurchase of common stock. Cash flows from discontinued operations were immaterial and are not expected to significantly affect future liquidity.

_________

(1) | On August 3, 2016, we entered into a $900.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2016 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $400.0 million term loan (the “2016 Term Loan”) (collectively referred to as the “2016 Credit Agreement”). The proceeds of the 2016 Term Loan were used to repay amounts drawn under our prior credit agreement. As of March 31, 2017, the amount outstanding under the 2016 Term Loan was $296.2 million. As of March 31, 2017, there were borrowings outstanding of $125.0 million under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility.

(2) | Represents open purchase orders for material and subcontracting costs related to construction and services contracts. These purchase orders are not reflected in EMCOR’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and should not impact future cash flows, as amounts should be recovered through customer billings.

(3) | Represents primarily insurance related liabilities and liabilities for deferred income taxes, incentive compensation and deferred compensation, classified as other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash payments for insurance and deferred compensation related liabilities may be payable beyond three years, but it is not practical to estimate these payments; therefore, these liabilities are reflected in the 1-3 years payment period. We provide funding to our post retirement plans based on at least the minimum funding required by applicable regulations. In determining the minimum required funding, we utilize current actuarial assumptions and exchange rates to forecast estimates of amounts that may be payable for up to five years in the future. In our judgment, minimum funding estimates beyond a five year time horizon cannot be reliably estimated and, therefore, have not been included in the table.

(4) | Includes $0.1 million of accrued interest.

Until August 3, 2016, we had a credit agreement dated as of November 25, 2013 (as amended, the “2013 Credit Agreement”), which provided for a revolving credit facility of $750.0 million (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a term loan of $350.0 million (the “2013 Term Loan”). On August 3, 2016, we amended and restated the 2013 Credit Agreement to provide for a $900.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2016 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $400.0 million term loan (the “2016 Term Loan”) (collectively referred to as the “2016 Credit Agreement”) expiring August 3, 2021. The proceeds of the 2016 Term Loan were used to repay amounts drawn under the 2013 Term Loan, as well as a portion of the outstanding balance under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility. We may increase the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to $1.3 billion if additional lenders are identified and/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments. We may allocate up to $300.0 million of available capacity under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to letters of credit for our account or for the account of any of our subsidiaries. Obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by most of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of our assets and most of the assets of most of our subsidiaries. The 2016 Credit Agreement contains various covenants providing for, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain limitations on payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness and capital expenditures. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. A commitment fee is payable on the average daily unused amount of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which ranges from 0.15% to 0.30%, based on certain financial tests. The fee was 0.15% of the unused amount as of March 31, 2017. Borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement bear interest at (1) a base rate plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.75%, based on certain financial tests, or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.98% at March 31, 2017) plus 1.00% to 1.75%, based on certain financial tests. The base rate is determined by the greater of (a) the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (4.00% at March 31, 2017), (b) the federal funds effective rate, plus ½ of 1.00%, (c) the daily one month LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%, or (d) 0.00%. The interest rate in effect at March 31, 2017 was 1.98%. Fees for letters of credit issued under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility range from 1.00% to 1.75% of the respective face amounts of outstanding letters

of credit and are computed based on certain financial tests. We capitalized an additional $3.0 million of debt issuance costs associated with the 2016 Credit Agreement. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the agreement and are included as part of interest expense. The 2016 Term Loan required us to make principal payments of $5.0 million on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, which commenced with the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2016. On December 30, 2016, we made a payment of $100.0 million, of which $5.0 million represented our required quarterly payment and $95.0 million represented a prepayment of outstanding principal. Such prepayment was applied against the remaining mandatory quarterly payments on a ratable basis. As a result, commencing with the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2017, our required quarterly payment has been reduced to $3.8 million. All unpaid principal and interest is due on August 3, 2021. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of the 2016 Term Loan was $296.2 million and $300.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had approximately $98.9 million and $91.9 million of letters of credit outstanding, respectively. There were $125.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies (“Surety Companies”) and provide to our customers payment and performance bonds (“Surety Bonds”) as a condition to the award of such contracts. The Surety Bonds secure our payment and performance obligations under such contracts, and we have agreed to indemnify the Surety Companies for amounts, if any, paid by them in respect of Surety Bonds issued on our behalf. In addition, at the request of labor unions representing certain of our employees, Surety Bonds are sometimes provided to secure obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for such employees. Public sector contracts require Surety Bonds more frequently than private sector contracts and, accordingly, our bonding requirements typically increase as the amount of public sector work increases. As of March 31, 2017, based on the percentage-of-completion of our projects covered by Surety Bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, assuming defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was approximately $1.1 billion. Surety Bonds are issued by Surety Companies in return for premiums, which vary depending on the size and type of bond.
From time to time, we discuss with our current and other Surety Bond providers the amounts of Surety Bonds that may be available to us based on our financial strength and the absence of any default by us on any Surety Bond issued on our behalf and believe those amounts are currently adequate for our needs. However, if we experience changes in our bonding relationships or if there are adverse changes in the surety industry, we may (i) seek to satisfy certain customer requests for Surety Bonds by posting other forms of collateral in lieu of Surety Bonds, such as letters of credit, parent company guarantees or cash, in order to convince customers to forego the requirement for Surety Bonds, (ii) increase our activities in our business segments that rarely require Surety Bonds such as our building and industrial services segments, and/or (iii) refrain from bidding for certain projects that require Surety Bonds. There can be no assurance that we would be able to effectuate alternatives to providing Surety Bonds to our customers or to obtain, on favorable terms, sufficient additional work that does not require Surety Bonds. Accordingly, if we were to experience a reduction in the availability of Surety Bonds, we could experience a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of business, we, at times, guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, we are liable under such an arrangement only if our subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under the contract. Historically, we have not incurred any substantial liabilities as a consequence of these guarantees.
We do not have any other material financial guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed herein.
We are a party to lawsuits and other proceedings in which other parties seek to recover from us amounts ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $10.0 million. We do not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. On December 5, 2013, October 23, 2014 and October 28, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $100.0 million, $250.0 million and $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock, respectively. During 2017, we have repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately $53.3 million. Since the inception of the repurchase programs through March 31, 2017, we have repurchased 12.2 million shares of our common stock for approximately $537.7 million. As of March 31, 2017, there remained authorization for us to repurchase approximately $112.3 million of our shares. The repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. We may repurchase our shares from time to time to the extent permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, including provisions in our credit agreement placing limitations on such repurchases. The repurchase programs have been and will be funded from our operations.
We have paid quarterly dividends since October 25, 2011. We currently pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share. Our 2016 Credit Agreement places limitations on the payment of dividends on our common stock. However, we do not believe
22

Table of Contents
that the terms of such agreement currently materially limit our ability to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends has been and will be funded from our operations.
Our primary source of liquidity has been, and is expected to continue to be, cash generated by operating activities. We also maintain our 2016 Revolving Credit Facility that may be utilized, among other things, to meet short-term liquidity needs in the event cash generated by operating activities is insufficient or to enable us to seize opportunities to participate in joint ventures or to make acquisitions that may require access to cash on short notice or for any other reason. Negative macroeconomic trends may have an adverse effect on liquidity. During economic downturns, there have typically been fewer small discretionary projects from the private sector, and our competitors have aggressively bid larger long-term infrastructure and public sector contracts. Short-term liquidity is also impacted by the type and length of construction contracts in place and large turnaround activities in our United States industrial services segment that are billed in arrears pursuant to contractual terms that are standard within the industry. Performance of long duration contracts typically requires greater amounts of working capital. While we strive to maintain a net over-billed position with our customers, there can be no assurance that a net over-billed position can be maintained. Our net over-billings, defined as the balance sheet accounts “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” less “Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, were $347.5 million and $358.5 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Long-term liquidity requirements can be expected to be met initially through cash generated from operating activities and our 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Based upon our current credit ratings and financial position, we can reasonably expect to be able to incur long-term debt to fund acquisitions. Over the long term, our primary revenue risk factor continues to be the level of demand for non-residential construction services and for building and industrial services, which is influenced by macroeconomic trends including interest rates and governmental economic policy. In addition, our ability to perform work is critical to meeting long-term liquidity requirements.
We believe that our current cash balances and our borrowing capacity available under our 2016 Revolving Credit Facility or other forms of financing available to us through borrowings, combined with cash expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to provide short-term and foreseeable long-term liquidity and meet our expected capital expenditure requirements.
Certain Insurance Matters
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we utilized approximately $98.5 million and $91.5 million, respectively, of letters of credit obtained under our 2016 Revolving Credit Facility as collateral for our insurance obligations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
We review new accounting standards to determine the expected financial impact, if any, that the adoption of such standards will have. See Part I. Item 1, “Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements”, for further information regarding new accounting standards, including the anticipated dates of adoption and the effects on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. We believe that some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of accounting policies that affect our financial condition and results of operations are the impact of changes in the estimates and judgments pertaining to: (a) revenue recognition from (i) long-term construction contracts for which the percentage-of-completion method of accounting is used and (ii) services contracts; (b) collectibility or valuation of accounts receivable; (c) insurance liabilities; (d) income taxes; and (e) goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition for Long-term Construction Contracts and Services Contracts
We believe our most critical accounting policy is revenue recognition from long-term construction contracts for which we use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Percentage-of-completion accounting is the prescribed method of accounting for long-term contracts in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”, and, accordingly, is the method used for revenue recognition within our industry. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Certain of our electrical contracting business units measure percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract.
23

Table of Contents
Pre-contract costs from our construction projects are generally expensed as incurred. Application of percentage-of-completion accounting results in the recognition of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets arise when revenues have been recognized but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts also include amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Such amounts are recorded at estimated net realizable value and take into account factors that may affect our ability to bill and ultimately collect unbilled revenues. The profit associated with claim amounts is not recognized until the claim has been settled and payment has been received. We did not recognize any material amounts associated with claim settlements during the periods presented. Due to uncertainties inherent in estimates employed in applying percentage-of-completion accounting, estimates may be revised as project work progresses. Application of percentage-of-completion accounting requires that the impact of revised estimates be reported prospectively in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to revenue recognition for long-term construction contracts, we recognize revenues from the performance of services for maintenance, repair and retrofit work consistent with the performance of services, which are generally on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contractual arrangement. Expenses related to all services arrangements are recognized as incurred. Revenues related to the engineering, manufacturing and repairing of shell and tube heat exchangers are recognized when the product is shipped and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Costs related to this work are included in inventory until the product is shipped. Provisions for the entirety of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. There were no significant losses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Accounts Receivable
We are required to estimate the collectibility of accounts receivable. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of realization of receivables. Relevant assessment factors include the creditworthiness of the customer, our prior collection history with the customer and related aging of the past due balances. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our accounts receivable of $1,508.5 million and $1,495.4 million, respectively, included allowances for doubtful accounts of $14.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively. The increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts was due to an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by the write-off of previously reserved for accounts receivable. Specific accounts receivable are evaluated when we believe a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition or its credit ratings. The allowance for doubtful accounts requirements are based on the best facts available and are re-evaluated and adjusted on a regular basis as additional information is received.
Insurance Liabilities
We have loss payment deductibles for certain workers’ compensation, automobile liability, general liability and property claims, have self-insured retentions for certain other casualty claims and are self-insured for employee-related healthcare claims. Losses are recorded based upon estimates of our liability for claims incurred and for claims incurred but not reported. The liabilities are derived from known facts, historical trends and industry averages utilizing the assistance of an actuary to determine the best estimate for the majority of these obligations. We believe the liabilities recognized on our balance sheets for these obligations are adequate. However, such obligations are difficult to assess and estimate due to numerous factors, including severity of injury, determination of liability in proportion to other parties, timely reporting of occurrences and effectiveness of safety and risk management programs. Therefore, if our actual experience differs from the assumptions and estimates used for recording the liabilities, adjustments may be required and will be recorded in the period that the experience becomes known. Our estimated net insurance liabilities for workers’ compensation, automobile liability, general liability and property claims increased by $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to higher revenues, including the impact of acquired companies. If our estimated insurance liabilities for workers’ compensation, automobile liability, general liability and property claims had increased by 10%, it would have resulted in $15.9 million of additional expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Income Taxes
We had net deferred income tax liabilities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of $111.4 million and $117.4 million, respectively, primarily resulting from differences between the carrying value and income tax basis of certain identifiable intangible assets and depreciable fixed assets, which will impact our taxable income in future periods. Included within these net deferred income tax liabilities are deferred income tax assets. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred income tax asset will not be realized. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total valuation
24

Table of Contents
allowance on deferred income tax assets, related to state net operating carryforwards, was approximately $3.5 million in both periods.
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
As of March 31, 2017, we had $1,010.4 million and $521.4 million, respectively, of goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets (primarily consisting of our contract backlog, developed technology/vendor network, customer relationships, non-competition agreements and trade names), primarily arising out of the acquisition of companies. As of December 31, 2016, goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets were $979.6 million and $487.4 million, respectively. The changes to goodwill since December 31, 2016 were related to the acquisition of two companies in 2017 and a purchase price adjustment related to the Ardent acquisition. The determination of related estimated useful lives for identifiable intangible assets and whether those assets are impaired involves significant judgments based upon short and long-term projections of future performance. These forecasts reflect assumptions regarding the ability to successfully integrate acquired companies, as well as macroeconomic conditions. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires that goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead tested at least annually for impairment (which we test each October 1, absent any impairment indicators), and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.
We test for impairment of our goodwill at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 13, “Segment Information”, of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. In assessing whether our goodwill is impaired, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment loss is recognized. However, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is impaired and an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. No impairment of our goodwill was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
As of March 31, 2017, we had $1,010.4 million of goodwill on our balance sheet and, of this amount, 38.1% relates to our United States industrial services segment, 25.3% relates to our United States building services segment, 24.2% relates to our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and 12.4% relates to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. As of the date of our latest impairment test, October 1, 2016, the carrying values of our United States industrial services segment, our United States building services segment, our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were approximately $695.1 million, $462.4 million, $277.3 million and $268.8 million, respectively. The fair values of our United States industrial services segment, our United States building services segment, our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment exceeded their carrying values by approximately $69.2 million, $268.6 million, $791.4 million, and $526.3 million, respectively. The weighted average cost of capital used in testing goodwill for impairment was 11.4%, 11.0% and 11.5% for our domestic construction segments, our United States building services segment and our United States industrial services segment, respectively. The perpetual growth rate used was 2.7% for all of our domestic segments.
We also test for the impairment of trade names that are not subject to amortization by calculating the fair value using the “relief from royalty payments” methodology. This approach involves two steps: (a) estimating reasonable royalty rates for each trade name and (b) applying these royalty rates to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each trade name. If the carrying amount of the trade name is greater than the implied fair value of the trade name, an impairment in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. No impairment of our trade names was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
In addition, we review for the impairment of other identifiable intangible assets that are being amortized whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable. This test compares their carrying values to the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If the assets are impaired, the assets are written down to their fair values, generally determined based on their future discounted cash flows. No impairment of our other identifiable intangible assets was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
We have certain businesses, particularly within our United States industrial services segment, whose results are highly impacted by the demand for some of our offerings within the industrial and oil and gas markets. Future performance of this segment, along with a continued evaluation of the conditions of its end user markets, will be important to ongoing impairment assessments. Should this segment’s actual results suffer a decline or expected future results be revised downward, the risk of goodwill impairment or impairment of other identifiable intangible assets would increase.
Our development of the present value of future cash flow projections used in impairment testing is based upon assumptions and estimates by management from reviews, among other things, of our operating results, business plans, anticipated growth rates
25

Table of Contents
and margins, and weighted average cost of capital. Those assumptions and estimates can change in future periods, and other factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, such as interest rates. There can be no assurance that estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill and identifiable asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding future business performance or anticipated growth rates and/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required to record goodwill and/or identifiable asset impairment charges in future periods.
Although we have not yet conducted our October 1, 2017 goodwill and other impairment tests, there have been no impairments recognized through the first quarter of 2017. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such a charge would be material.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We have not used any derivative financial instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2017, including trading or speculating on changes in interest rates or commodity prices of materials used in our business.
We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement, which provides for a revolving credit facility and a term loan. Borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates. As of March 31, 2017, there were borrowings of $125.0 million outstanding under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the balance of the 2016 Term Loan was $296.2 million. This instrument bears interest at (1) a base rate plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.75%, based on certain financial tests, or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.98% at March 31, 2017) plus 1.00% to 1.75%, based on certain financial tests. The base rate is determined by the greater of (a) the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (4.00% at March 31, 2017), (b) the federal funds effective rate, plus ½ of 1.00%, (c) the daily one month LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%, or (d) 0.00%. The interest rate in effect at March 31, 2017 was 1.98%. Based on the $421.2 million borrowings outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement, if overall interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would increase by approximately $2.5 million in the next twelve months. Conversely, if overall interest rates were to decrease by 100 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would decrease by approximately $2.5 million in the next twelve months. Fees for letters of credit issued under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility range from 1.00% to 1.75% of the respective face amounts of outstanding letters of credit and are computed based on certain financial tests. The 2016 Credit Agreement expires on August 3, 2021. There is no guarantee that we will be able to renew the 2016 Credit Agreement at its expiration.
We are also exposed to construction market risk and its potential related impact on accounts receivable or costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. The amounts recorded may be at risk if our customers’ ability to pay these obligations is negatively impacted by economic conditions. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and maintain on-going discussions with customers regarding contract status with respect to change orders and billing terms. Therefore, we believe we take appropriate action to manage market and other risks, but there is no assurance that we will be able to reasonably identify all risks with respect to collectibility of these assets. See also the previous discussions of Revenue Recognition from Long-term Construction Contracts and Services Contracts and Accounts Receivable under the heading, “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, a component of equity, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe the exposure to the effects that fluctuating foreign currencies may have on our consolidated results of operations is limited because the foreign operations primarily invoice customers and collect obligations in their respective local currencies. Additionally, expenses associated with these transactions are generally contracted and paid for in their same local currencies.
In addition, we are exposed to market risk of fluctuations in certain commodity prices of materials, such as copper and steel, which are used as components of supplies or materials utilized in our construction, building services and industrial services operations. We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to gasoline prices for our fleet of over 10,000 vehicles. While we believe we can increase our contract prices to adjust for some price increases in commodities, there can be no assurance that such price increases, if they were to occur, would be recoverable. Additionally, our fixed price contracts do not allow us to adjust our prices and, as a result, increases in material or fuel costs could reduce our profitability with respect to projects in progress.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), our President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony J. Guzzi, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mark A. Pompa, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchanges Act of 1934) are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
