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”, “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 annual financial statements 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, 2014 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 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, 2013 filed with the SEC.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC.

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

On February 28, 2013 and August 27, 2013, the Company completed the acquisitions of Aarding Thermal Acoustics B.V. (“Aarding”) and Met-Pro Corporation (“Met-Pro”), respectively. The results of their operations have been consolidated with our results following the acquisition dates. For a more complete discussion of the transactions, refer to Note 16.

2.	New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to for those goods or services using a defined five step process. More judgment and estimates may be required to achieve this principle than under existing U.S. GAAP. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect upon initial adoption recognized at the date of adoption which includes additional footnote disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method of adoption.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose additional information about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued-operations criteria. The FASB issued the ASU to provide more decision-useful information and to elevate the threshold for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within those years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The provision (recovery) for doubtful accounts was $25,000 and $10,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.1 million and $(26,000) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

4.	Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

Revenues from contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date compared to estimated total contract costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers contract costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenues are also recognized on a completed contract basis, when risk and title passes to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of product.

Our contracts have various lengths to completion ranging from a few days to several months. We anticipate that a majority of our current contracts will be completed within the next twelve months.

U.S. Debt

On August 27, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with various lenders (the “Lenders”) and letter of credit issuers (each, an “L/C Issuer”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), swing line lender and an L/C Issuer, providing for various senior secured credit facilities (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a $65.0 million senior secured term loan, a $70.5 million senior secured U.S. dollar revolving credit facility for U.S. dollar revolving loans with sub-facilities for letters of credit and swing-line loans, and a $19.5 million senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility for U.S. dollar and specific foreign currency loans. The Company has the option to obtain additional commitments for either the U.S. dollar revolving credit facility or the term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30.0 million. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $0.8 million and $1.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding, respectively. Total unused credit availability under the Credit Facility was $69.2 million and $66.7 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until August 27, 2018, at which time all amounts borrowed pursuant to 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, and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (“Base Rate”), or a Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 1.5% to 2.5% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Interest on swing line loans is the Base Rate.

Accrued interest on Base Rate Loans is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Interest on Eurocurrency 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 interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 2.22% and 2.23% at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and such guaranty obligations are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of such subsidiaries, including certain real property. 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.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including the requirement to maintain compliance with a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 2.75 and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of more than 1.25. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default and the occurrence of an event of default could result in an increased interest rate equal to 2.0% above the applicable interest rate for loans, the acceleration of the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and an obligation of the subsidiary guarantors to repay the full amount of the Company’s borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The Company paid $2.7 million of other customary closing fees, arrangement fees, administration fees, letter of credit fees and commitment fees for the Credit Agreement. As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, capitalized deferred financing costs of $0.6 million are included in deferred charges and other assets and $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, are included as a discount to debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the respective three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and is classified as interest expense.

Options and warrants included in the computation of diluted earnings per share are included using the treasury stock method. For each of the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, 62,500 outstanding options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their having an anti-dilutive effect.

Holders of certain restricted stock awards participate in nonforfeitable dividend rights on a one-for-one basis with holders of common stock. Holders of these awards are not obligated to share in losses of the Company. Therefore, these share awards are included in the computation of basic earnings per share during periods of net income using the two-class method, but are excluded from such computation in periods of net loss. Should the Company declare a dividend on its common stock, the related dividend on shares of unvested restricted stock that are not expected to vest would be recorded as additional compensation expense and therefore excluded from the two-class method computations. Undistributed earnings included in the two-class method computations are allocated equally to each share of common stock outstanding, including all shares of unvested restricted common shares.

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

The Company declared and on March 31, 2014 paid to common stockholders a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share, and declared and on June 27, 2014 paid to common stockholders a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share. The dividend policy and the payment of cash dividends under that policy are subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy and the declaration of dividends are in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. Future dividends and the dividend policy may be changed or cancelled at the Company’s discretion at any time. Payment of dividends is also subject to the continuing consent of our lender under our Credit Facility.

10.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for stock-based awards, measured at the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Company recognized expense of $375,000 and $215,000 during the three-month periods and $750,000 and $373,000 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was estimated at $6.94 and $5.78 per option, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:

Expected Volatility: The Company utilizes a volatility factor based on the Company’s historical stock prices for a period of time equal to the expected term of the stock option utilizing weekly price observations. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company utilized a weighted-average volatility factor of 56% and 58%, respectively.

Expected Term: For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company utilized a weighted-average expected term factor of 6.2 years.

Risk-Free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate factor utilized is based upon the implied yields currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues over the expected term of the stock options. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company utilized a weighted-average risk-free interest rate factor of 2.2% and 1.3%, respectively.

Expected Dividends: The Company utilized a weighted average expected dividend rate of 1.6% to value options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The fair value of the stock options granted is recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the options adjusted for the Company’s estimate of pre-vesting forfeitures. The pre-vesting forfeiture estimate is based on historical activity and is reviewed periodically and updated as necessary.

The Company received $0.8 million and $0.4 million in cash from employees and directors exercising options during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

11.

Stock Purchase

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased 61,500 shares of common stock from a former director for a total cost of $1.0 million. The shares were immediately retired.

12.

Pension and Employee Benefit Plans

We sponsor several non-contributory defined benefit pension plans for certain union employees. During 2013, the Company acquired two defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees in the United States in connection with the acquisition of Met-Pro. All plans are funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for office employees retired before January 1, 1990. The plan allowed retirees who attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired.

Retirement and health care 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:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(Table only in thousands)	June 30,						June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Pension plan:

Amortization of gain		(1	)		(4	)		(3	)		(8	)

Net periodic benefit gain	$	—		$	(3	)	$	—		$	(6	)

We made contributions to our defined benefit plans during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaling $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. We anticipate contributing $1.0 million to fund the pension plan and $21,000 for the retiree health care plan during the remainder of 2014. The unfunded liability of the plans of $6.4 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is included in the Other Liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

13.

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $0.8 million, which is included in Other Liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense.

14.

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at June 30, 2014, due to their short term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million and $22.7 million, respectively, of which $11.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, China and Canada. Substantially all of the amounts held outside of the United States are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Our current plans do not anticipate that we will need funds generated from foreign operations to fund our domestic operations. In the event funds from foreign operations are needed in the United States, any repatriation could result in the accrual and payment of additional U.S. income tax.

On March 31, 2014, Aarding entered into a one-month foreign exchange forward contract to manage exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on a U.S. dollar-denominated transaction totaling $5.5 million. The contract expired prior to June 30, 2014 and there are no such contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2014.

15.

Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters

Our subsidiary, 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, 2014 for cases involving asbestos-related claims were $0.7 million, which, together with all legal fees other than corporate counsel expenses, have been paid by the Company’s insurers. The average cost per settled claim, excluding legal fees, was approximately $25,000.

Based upon the most recent information available to the Company regarding such claims, there were a total of 186 cases pending against the Company as of June 30, 2014 (with Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia having the largest number of cases), as compared with 173 cases that were pending as of December 31, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 27 new cases were filed against the Company, and the Company was dismissed from 14 cases and settled zero 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 are 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.

One of our subsidiaries, Fisher-Klosterman, Inc. (“FKI”), is a defendant party in a products liability lawsuit filed in Harris County, Texas on August 23, 2010 by three Valero refining companies. The plaintiffs claim that FKI (and its co-Defendants) used an allegedly defective refractory material included in cyclones it supplied to Valero that caused damages to refineries they own and operate. Plaintiffs claim to have suffered property damages including catalyst loss, regenerator repair costs, replacement part costs, damage to other property and business interruption loss although the Plaintiffs generally have alleged losses not in excess of $75 million, the Plaintiffs only specifically claim approximately $36 million in damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. Based on currently available information, as of June 30, 2014, we have not recorded any reserve with respect to this matter.

Met-Pro and the Met-Pro former board of directors had been named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit brought by an alleged former Met-Pro shareholder who challenged the proposed mergers filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The case was captioned Raymond Gold v. Met-Pro Corporation, et al., filed July 8, 2013, and alleged, among other things, that the Met-Pro board of directors breached its fiduciary duties to Met-Pro and its shareholders in approving the merger agreement at an unfair price, unduly restricting other potential bidders from making competing offers, failing to consult with other bidders to create a competitive bid process, and unduly limiting the board’s ability to consider and potentially accept an alternative proposal. The action sought an award of unspecified money damages. Met-Pro and the Company believe that these claims were without merit; however, in order to avoid the risk of delaying the consummation of the acquisition and to avoid the costs, disruption and distraction of further litigation, on July 20, 2013, Met-Pro entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with the plaintiff to settle the foregoing action without admitting any liability or wrongdoing. As part of the MOU, Met-Pro made certain additional disclosures related to the acquisition. On February 25, 2014, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement, as contemplated by the MOU, which provides, among other things, for the conditional certification of a non-opt out class, for settlement purposes only, that includes any and all persons or entities who held shares of Met-Pro common stock, either of record or beneficially, at any time between April 22, 2013, the date Met-Pro announced the merger agreement, and August 27, 2013, the date of the consummation of the acquisition. The stipulation of settlement also provided for the payment of up to $0.2 million for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of costs to the attorneys for the class. The settlement and the amount of attorneys’ fees and costs were subject to court approval, which was obtained on June 10, 2014. Accordingly, this matter is now fully resolved without any remaining liability to the Company.

The Company is also a party to routine contract and employment-related litigation matters 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 reserves 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 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.

Acquisitions

On February 28, 2013, the Company acquired Aarding, pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement, dated February 28, 2013, among the Company, CECO Environmental Netherland B.V., N.F.J.A. Pieterse Beheer B.V., W.M. Pranger Beheer B.V., and ATA Beheer B.V. Aarding is a global provider of natural gas turbine exhaust systems and silencer applications and is now part of our Energy Segment. The purchase price included cash of $24.4 million and 763,673 shares of restricted common stock. The fair value of the common stock issued was determined to be $6.8 million, which reflects the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of the acquisition and a discount related to the sale and transfer restrictions on the shares. The cash paid was funded by the Company’s cash reserves. Of the total consideration paid, €4.0 million ($5.5 million as of June 30, 2014) is contingent upon the future employment by the sellers and, therefore, has been classified as prepaid compensation by the Company. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the current portion of the prepaid compensation of $1.1 million is in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets,” while the non-current portion of $2.9

million and $3.5 million, respectively, is in “Deferred charges and other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of compensation expense has been recorded in “Amortization and earn out expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of compensation expense has been recorded in “Amortization and earn out expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Additionally, the former owners of Aarding are entitled to earn-out payments of up to €5.5 million ($7.5 million as of June 30, 2014) upon the attainment of specified financial targets through December 31, 2017. Such earn out payments are contingent upon the continued employment of the sellers. Accordingly, no value for the potential earn out consideration was allocated to the purchase price of Aarding as any such payments will be reported as future compensation expense by the Company. For each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, $0.4 million of earn-out expense has been recorded in “Amortization and earn out expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of earn-out expense has been recorded in “Amortization and earn out expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of income. An accrual of $0.5 million and $1.3 million relating to the earn-out is included within “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of closing of the acquisition.


(Table only in thousands)
Current assets	$	15,062
Property and equipment		959
Goodwill		7,595
Intangible assets – finite life		13,477
Intangible assets – indefinite life		2,865

Net assets acquired	$	27,595

On August 27, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of Met-Pro, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 21, 2013, and amended as of August 5, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”). Met-Pro’s shareholders had the option to elect to exchange each share of Met-Pro common stock for either (i) $13.75 in cash, without interest, or (ii) shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $13.75, based on the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock for the 15-trading day period ending on August 26, 2013, the last trading day before the closing of the merger, subject to a collar so that there was a maximum exchange ratio of 1.3520 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Met-Pro common stock and a minimum of 1.0000 share of the Company’s common stock for each share of Met-Pro common stock, subject to certain exceptions and with overall elections subject to proration.

Approximately 51.6% of the shares of Met-Pro common stock converted into the right to receive the $13.75 cash consideration, for an approximate total of $104.4 million The trading price of the Company’s common stock for the 15-day period was $12.6814. As a result, each of the remaining shares of Met-Pro common stock converted into the right to receive 1.0843 shares of Company common stock, or an approximate total of 7,726,235 shares of Company common stock in the aggregate.

In accordance with the proration and reallocation provisions of the Merger Agreement, because the $13.75 per share cash consideration was oversubscribed by Met-Pro shareholders prior to the election deadline, (a) each Met-Pro share for which a valid stock election was made or for which no valid cash or stock election was made was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the stock consideration and (b) each Met-Pro shareholder of record that made a valid cash election received (i) the Cash Consideration for approximately 77.56% of such holder’s Met-Pro shares for which a valid cash election was made and (ii) the stock consideration for approximately 22.44% of such holder’s Met-Pro Shares for which a valid cash election was made. The value of stock recorded was $98.0 million.

In addition, holders of outstanding Met-Pro options and restricted stock units received an aggregate amount of cash equal to approximately $4.9 million as consideration for the cancellation of the options and restricted stock units held by them as of immediately prior to the merger.

The following table summarizes the approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of closing. The approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related tax balances, 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 valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related tax balances. Such changes could result in material variances between the Company’s future financial results and the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma information, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items.

The assets held for sale primarily consist of real property and are valued at the estimated proceeds less costs to sell. The Company has not recorded a gain or loss on the classification of the subject assets held for sale. The Company expects to complete the sale of the subject assets during 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $6.6 million for the sale of assets held for sale. The balance of assets held for sale is $4.2 million as of June 30, 2014.

The following unaudited pro forma information represents the Company’s results of operations as if the Met-Pro and Aarding acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2013:

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ITEM 2.

Management 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, 2014 and 2013 reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

We are a leading global environmental technology company focused on critical solutions in the energy, air pollution control, fluid handling and filtration segments. Through our well-known brands, including the “Effox-Flextor,” “Kirk & Blum,” “KB Duct,” “Fisher-Klosterman,” “FKI,” “Buell,” “AVC,” “Busch International,” “CECO Filters,” “Adwest,” “Aarding,” “Duall,” “Flex-Kleen,” “Bio-Reaction,” “Dean Pump,” “Fybroc,” “Sethco,” “Mefiag Filtration,” “Keystone Filter,” and “Strobic Air” tradenames, we provide a wide spectrum of products and services including dampers & diverters, cyclonic technology, thermal oxidizers, filtration systems, scrubbers, exhaust systems, fluid handling equipment and plant engineered services and engineered design build fabrication. These products play a vital role in helping companies achieve exacting production standards, meeting increasing plant needs and stringent emissions control regulations around the globe. We globally serve the broadest range of markets and industries including power, municipalities, chemical, industrial manufacturing, refining, petrochemical, metals, minerals & mining, hospitals and universities. Therefore, our business is not concentrated in a single industry or customer. Demand for our products and services is created by increasingly strict U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandated industry Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards and Occupational Safety and Health Administration established Threshold Limit Values, as well as existing pollution control and energy legislation—within the United States at the local, state and national levels, as well as the international equivalents.

We believe there will be an increase in the level of pollution control capital expenditures driven by an elevated focus on environmental issues such as global warming and energy saving alternatives, as well as a U.S. Government-supported effort to reduce our dependence on foreign oil through the use of bio-fuels like ethanol and electrical energy generated by our abundant domestic supply of natural gas and coal. We also feel that similar opportunities will continue to develop outside the United States. Much of our business is driven by various regulatory standards and guidelines governing air quality in and outside factories. We believe our Chinese operations are positioned to benefit from the tightening of air pollution standards by China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection.

We continue to focus on increasing revenues and profitability globally while continuing to strengthen and expand our presence domestically. Our operating strategy has historically involved horizontally expanding our scope of technology, products, and services through selective acquisitions and the formation of new business units that are then vertically integrated into our growing group of turnkey system providers. Our continuing focus will be on global growth, market coverage, and specifically, expansion of our China and India operations. Operational excellence, margin expansion, after-market growth, and safety leadership are also critical to our growth strategy.

Operations Overview

We operate under a “hub and spoke” business model in which executive management, finance, administrative and marketing staff serves as the hub while the sales channels serve as spokes. We use this model throughout our operations. This has provided us with certain efficiencies over a more decentralized model. The Company’s division presidents and general managers are responsible for successfully running their operations, that is, sales, gross margins, manufacturing, pricing, purchasing, safety, employee development, and customer service excellence. The presidents work closely with our CEO on global growth strategies, operational excellence, and employee development. The headquarters (hub) focuses on enabling the core back-office key functions for scale and efficiency, that is, accounting, payroll, human resources/benefits, IT, safety support, audit controls, and administration. We have excellent organizational focus from headquarters throughout our divisional businesses with clarity and minimal duplicative work streams. We are structured for growth and will do future bolt-on acquisitions.

Our three operating segments are: the Air Pollution Control Segment (“APC”), the Energy Segment (“Energy”), and the Fluid Handling Filtration Segment (“FHF”). By combining the efforts of some or all of these groups, we are able to offer complete turnkey systems for our customers and leverage the operational efficiencies between our family of companies.

Our contracts are obtained either through competitive bidding or as a result of negotiations with our customers. Contract terms offered by us are generally dependent on the complexity and risk of the project as well as the resources that will be required to complete the project. For example, a contract that can be performed primarily by subcontractors and that does not require us to use our fabrication and assembly facilities can be quoted at a lower gross margin than a more typical contract that will require additional factory overhead and administrative expenses. Our focus is on increasing our operating margins as well as our gross margin percentage, which translates into higher net income. Our sales typically peak in the fourth quarter due to a tendency of customers to want to fully utilize annual capital budgets and due to the fact that many industrial facilities shut down for the holiday season, which creates demand for maintenance and renovation work that can be done at no other time.

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 (“GAAP”). These GAAP financial statements include certain charges the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operational performance.

As a result, the Company provides financial information in this MD&A 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 supplemental 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 charges associated with the Company’s acquisition and integration of Aarding and Met-Pro 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. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Aarding and Met-Pro, which closed on February 28, 2013 and August 27, 2013, respectively, the Company has incurred substantial charges associated with the acquisition and integration of these companies. See Note 16 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Met-Pro and Aarding acquisitions.

The increases in 2014 periods were primarily due to the Met-Pro acquisition.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $3.6 million to $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared with $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase is attributable to incremental selling and administrative expenses from Met-Pro.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $8.7 million to $23.4 million for the first six months of 2014 compared with $14.7 million for the first six months of 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to incremental selling and administrative expenses from Met-Pro and Aarding.

Acquisition and integration expenses were $0.2 million and $2.3 million during the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were $0.2 million and $3.4 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Such expenses are related to the Aarding and Met-Pro transactions and include legal, accounting, banking and other expenses.

Amortization and earn out expense was $4.9 million for the first six months of 2014 compared with $0.8 million for the first six months of 2013. The increase was the result of our acquisitions of Met-Pro and Aarding.

Operating income increased $3.9 million to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $3.3 million during the same quarter of 2013. The acquisition of Met-Pro in August 2013 contributed $4.2 million of operating income during the second quarter of 2014. On a non-GAAP basis as adjusted for the non-GAAP items discussed above, non-GAAP operating income was $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared with $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Met-Pro in August 2013. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of sales increased from 13.9% for the second quarter of 2013 to 14.9% for the second quarter of 2014.

On a non-GAAP basis as adjusted for the non-GAAP items discussed above, non-GAAP operating income was $18.1 million for the first six months of 2014 compared with $10.8 million for the same period of 2013. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Met-Pro in August 2013 partially offset by the reduction in the Energy segment. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of sales increased from 13.7% for the first six months of 2013 to 14.6% for the first six months of 2014. Improved gross margins, changes in product mix, and manufacturing improvements were the primary factors for this increase.

Interest expense increased to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, and to $1.5 million for the first six months of 2014 from $0.3 million for the first six months of 2013. The increase is due to borrowings incurred in connection with the Met-Pro acquisition in August 2013.

Income tax expense was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared with $0.1 million for the same quarter of 2013. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 was 28.9% compared with 1.6% for the comparable period of 2013. Income tax expense was $3.5 million for the first six months of 2014 compared with $1.2 million for the same period of 2013. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2014 was 31.5% compared with 18.8% for the comparable period of 2013. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2013 included a $1.4 million tax benefit, net of related uncertain tax position reserves, recognized for research and development income tax credits earned during 2009 through 2011 and reflected increases in the estimate of research and development income tax credits available for 2012 and 2013 resulting in a tax benefit of $0.6 million for the first six months of 2013. Our effective tax rate is also affected by certain permanent differences, including non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation and acquisition related expenses, certain income tax reserves/deferrals, impact of foreign rate differences and tax holidays from foreign operations.

Air Pollution Control Segment

Our APC Segment net sales increased $8.8 million to $32.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $24.1 million in the same quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily due to $8.0 million of net sales attributable to the Met-Pro acquisition combined with increases of $2.1 million for our Adwest business and $2.8 million for our China operations, partially offset by decreases of $3.1 million for our domestic FKI subsidiaries and $0.9 million for our Busch business.

Our APC Segment net sales increased $15.1 million to $59.7 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with $44.6 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to $13.0 million of net sales attributable to the Met-Pro acquisition combined with increases of $4.0 million for our Adwest business and $3.7 million for our China operations, partially offset by decreases of $3.5 million for our domestic FKI business and $1.6 million for our Busch business.

Operating income from APC increased $1.1 million to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $3.8 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to the Met-Pro acquisition, which contributed $1.1 million in operating income combined with increases of $0.6 million for our Adwest business and $0.5 million for our China operations, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease for our domestic FKI business.

Operating income from APC increased $1.5 million to $8.7 million in the first six months of 2014 from $7.2 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to the Met-Pro acquisition which contributed $1.9 million in operating income combined with an increase of $1.4 million for our Adwest business, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease for our domestic FKI business.

Energy Segment

Our Energy Segment net sales decreased $2.2 million to $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $19.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease was primarily the result of reductions of $1.2 million in Effox-Flextor revenues and $1.0 million in Aarding revenues.

Our Energy Segment net sales increased $1.1 million to $32.1 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with $31.0 million in the same period of 2013. The increase was primarily the result of a $2.2 million increase in Aarding revenues due to the acquisition in February 2013, partially offset by a $0.9 million reduction in Effox-Flextor revenues.

Operating income for the Energy Segment was $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2013. The reduction is primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in Effox-Flextor operating income and a $0.2 decrease in Aarding operating income.

Operating income for the Energy Segment was $4.0 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with $5.4 million in the first six months of 2013. The reduction is primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in Aarding operating income and a $0.2 million decrease in Effox-Flextor operating income.

Fluid Handling Filtration Segment

Our FHF Segment net sales increased $15.5 million to $16.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. FHF net sales increased $29.2 million to $32.1 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with $2.9 million in the first six months of 2013. The increases were due to the acquisition of Met-Pro in August 2013.

Operating income for FHF was $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2013. Operating income for FHF was $5.7 million in the first six months of 2014 compared with $0.4 million for the first six months of 2013. These increases were also due to the acquisition of Met-Pro in August 2013.

Backlog

Backlog is a representation of the amount of revenue expected from complete performance of firm fixed-price contracts that have not been completed for products and services we expect to substantially deliver within the next 12 month period. Our customers may have the right to cancel a given order, although historically cancellations have been rare. Our backlog as of June 30, 2014, was $96.0 million compared with $98.5 million as of December 31, 2013. Backlog is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles and our methodology for calculating backlog may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies. There can be no assurances that backlog will be replicated, increased or translated into higher revenues in the future. The success of our business depends on a multitude of factors related to our backlog and the orders secured during the subsequent periods. Certain contracts are highly dependent on the work of contractors and other subcontractors participating in a project, over which we have no or limited control, and their performance on such project could have an adverse effect on the profitability of our contracts. Delays resulting from these contractors and subcontractors, changes in the scope of the project, weather, and labor availability also can have an effect on a contract’s profitability.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our principal uses of cash are operating costs, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding debt, working capital and other corporate requirements, including acquisitions.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $17.8 million and $22.7 million, respectively. Cash balances may fluctuate from time to time due to collected funds not being immediately swept against the Credit Facility (as defined below) balance. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $11.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were held by certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as being denominated in foreign currencies.

On March 31, 2014, Aarding entered into a one-month foreign exchange forward contract to manage exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on a U.S. dollar-denominated transaction totaling $5.5 million. The contract expired prior to June 30, 2014 and there were no such outstanding contracts as of June 30, 2014.

Overview of Cash Flows and Liquidity


	For the six months ended June 30,
($’s in thousands)	2014			2013
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,771		$	8,115
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		6,413			(24,615	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(13,057	)		(1,428	)

Net decrease in cash	$	(4,873	)	$	(17,928	)

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, $1.8 million of cash was provided by operating activities compared with $8.1 million provided by operating activities for the same period in 2013. Cash flows from increased profits primarily associated with the acquisition of Met-Pro in August 2013 were more than offset by $2.5 million in cash paid for legal settlements and earn out payments of €1.1 million ($1.5 million) during the first six months of 2014 and $7.4 million in reductions resulting from fluctuations in other working capital accounts during the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by investing activities was $6.4 million compared with net cash used in investing activities of $24.6 million in the prior year period. Cash provided by investing activities was the result of proceeds from sales of property and equipment, including assets held for sale, totaling $7.1 million, partially offset by additions to property and equipment of $0.7 million. In the prior year period, the acquisition of Aarding used cash of $24.4 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, financing activities used cash of $13.1 million compared with net cash used of $1.4 million in the prior year period. Debt repayments totaled $10.1 million during the first six months of 2014 and dividends paid were $2.8 million for the first six months of 2014 compared with $1.8 million for the same period in the prior year.

Our dividend policy and the payment of cash dividends under that policy are subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy and the declaration of dividends are in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. Future dividends and the dividend policy may be changed or cancelled at the Company’s discretion at any time. Payment of dividends is also subject to the continuing consent of our lender under our Credit Facility.

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.

In connection with the Met-Pro acquisition, we took on significant additional debt to fund the transaction. We believe that cash flows from operating activities, together with our existing cash and borrowings available under our Credit Facility, will be sufficient for at least the next twelve months to fund our current anticipated uses of cash. After that, our ability to fund these expected uses of cash and to comply with the financial covenants under our debt agreements will depend on the results of future operations, performance and cash flow. Our ability to fund these expected uses from the results of future operations will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business, regulatory, legislative and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects or future results of operations or financial position made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. 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 are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance or trends to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Potential risks, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and include, but are not limited to factors related to our business, including economic and financial market conditions generally and economic conditions in our service areas; dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding estimates and method of accounting for contract revenue; fluctuations in operating results from period to period due to seasonality of the business; the effect of growth on our infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; the ability to expand operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation; changes in or developments with respect to any litigation or investigation; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials; the substantial amount of debt in connection with the Met-Pro acquisition and our ability to repay or refinance it or incur additional debt in the future; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; economic and political conditions generally; and the effect of competition in the air pollution control and industrial ventilation industry. 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 information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE 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 long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt was $79.2 million at June 30, 2014. Market risk was estimated as the potential decrease (increase) in future earnings and cash flows resulting from hypothetical 10% increase (decrease) in the Company’s estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, 2014. Most of the interest on the Company’s debt is indexed to either the LIBOR or EURIBOR market rates. The estimated impact of a hypothetical 10% change in the estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, 2014 is $0.2 million on an annual basis.

The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries located in the Netherlands, Canada, the People’s Republic of China 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. On March 31, 2014, Aarding entered into a one-month foreign exchange forward contract to manage exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on a U.S. dollar-denominated transaction totaling $5.5 million. The contract expired prior to June 30, 2014 and there are no such contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2014.

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 upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, were effective as of June 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) 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.
