GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Aegion Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Aegion” or the “Company”) reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2014 and the results of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of equity and cash flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, consequently, do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements or all the disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014. Additionally, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Acquisitions/Strategic Initiatives/Divestitures

Energy and Mining Segment

On March 31, 2014, the Company, through its subsidiary, The Bayou Companies, LLC (“Bayou”), sold its forty-nine percent (49%) interest in Bayou Coating, L.L.C. (“Bayou Coating”) to Stupp Brothers Inc. (“Stupp”), the holder of the remaining fifty-one percent (51%) interest in Bayou Coating. Stupp purchased the interest by exercising an existing option to acquire the Company’s interest in Bayou Coating at a purchase price equal to $9.1 million, which represented forty-nine percent (49%) of the book value of Bayou Coating as of December 31, 2013. Such book value was determined on the basis of Bayou Coating’s federal information tax return for 2013 and approximated the Company’s book value of its investment in Bayou Coating as of December 31, 2013. The Company had previously received an indication from Stupp of its intent to exercise such option and, in the second quarter of 2013 in connection with such indication, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $2.7 million ($1.8 million post-tax) related to the goodwill allocated to the joint venture as part of the purchase price accounting associated with the 2009 acquisition of Bayou. The non-cash charge represented the Company’s then current estimate of the difference between the carrying value of the investment on the balance sheet and the amount the Company would receive in connection with the exercise. During the first quarter of 2014, the difference between the Company’s recorded gross equity in earnings of affiliated companies of approximately $1.2 million and the final equity distribution settlement of $0.7 million resulted in a loss of approximately $0.5 million that is recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations.

Prior to March 2014, the Company held a fifty-nine (59%) equity interest in Delta Double Jointing, LLC (“Bayou Delta”) through which the Company offers pipe jointing and other services for the steel-coated pipe industry. The remaining forty-one percent (41%) was held by Bayou Coating. On March 31, 2014, the Company acquired this forty-one percent (41%) interest from Bayou Coating by exercising its existing option at a purchase price equal to $0.6 million. As a result, Bayou Delta is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On July 1, 2013, the Company acquired the equity interests of Brinderson, L.P., a California limited partnership, General Energy Services, a California corporation, and Brinderson Constructors, Inc., a California corporation (collectively, “Brinderson”). The transaction purchase price was $150.0 million, which resulted in a cash purchase price at closing of $147.6 million after working capital adjustments and an adjustment to account for cash held in the business at closing. The cash purchase price was funded by borrowings under the Company’s new $650.0 million senior secured credit facility as discussed in Note 5 of this report. Brinderson is a leading integrated service provider of maintenance, construction, engineering and turnaround activities for the upstream and downstream oil and gas markets. Primarily focused on serving large oil and gas customers in California, Brinderson’s competitive advantages include its industry-leading safety record, a strong reputation for reliability and quality and comprehensive solutions needed for upstream oil field and downstream major refinery maintenance, repairs and retrofits. These core competencies position Brinderson to meet the growing demand for non-discretionary operating and maintenance expenditures.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan of liquidation for its Bayou Welding Works (“BWW”) business in an effort to improve the Company’s overall financial performance and align the operations with its long-term strategic initiatives. BWW provided specialty welding and fabrication services from its facility in New Iberia, Louisiana. Financial results for BWW were part of the Company’s Energy and Mining segment for financial reporting purposes. BWW ceased bidding new work and substantially completed all ongoing projects during the second quarter of 2013. As a result of the closure of BWW, Aegion recognized a pre-tax, non-cash charge of approximately $3.9 million ($2.4 million after-tax, or $0.06 per diluted share) to reflect the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company also recognized additional non-cash impairment charges for equipment and other assets of approximately $1.1 million on a pre-tax basis ($0.7 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.02 per diluted share), which also was recorded in the second quarter of 2013. The Company expects the cash liquidation value to approximate net asset value. Net asset value is determined using recorded amounts for assets and liabilities, which are based on Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 10. The Company also incurred cash charges to exit the business of approximately $0.1 million on a pre-tax and post-tax basis, which included property, equipment and vehicle lease termination and buyout costs, employee termination benefits and retention incentives, among other ancillary shut-down expenses. Final liquidation of BWW’s assets is expected to occur by the end of 2014.

Water and Wastewater Segment

In June 2013, the Company sold its fifty percent (50%) interest in Insituform Rohrsanierungstechniken GmbH (“Insituform-Germany”) to Per Aarsleff A/S, a Danish company (“Aarsleff”). Insituform-Germany, a company that was jointly owned by Aegion and Aarsleff, is active in the business of no-dig pipe rehabilitation in Germany, Slovakia and Hungary. The sale price was €14.0 million, approximately $18.3 million. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of approximately $11.3 million (net of $0.5 million of transaction expenses). In connection with the sale, Insituform-Germany also entered into a tube supply agreement with the Company whereby Insituform-Germany will purchase on an annual basis at least GBP 2.3 million, approximately $3.6 million, of felt cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) liners during the two-year period from June 26, 2013 to June 30, 2015.

Purchase Price Accounting

The Company accounts for its acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company records finite-lived intangible assets at their determined fair value related to customer relationships, backlog, trade names and trademarks and patents and other acquired technologies. The acquisitions generally result in goodwill related to, among other things, growth opportunities and synergies. The goodwill associated with the Brinderson acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. At March 31, 2014, the Company had substantially completed its accounting for Brinderson with the exception of final working capital adjustments. As the Company completes its final accounting for this acquisition, there might be changes, none of which are expected to be material to the financial statements.
