HARSCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.     Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosure required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. The December 31, 2020 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was derived from the 2020 audited consolidated financial statements.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) that are necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 

Restricted Cash
The Company had restricted cash of $3.0 million and $3.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and the restrictions are primarily related to collateral provided for certain guarantees of the Company's performance.

Impact of COVID-19
Beginning in early 2020, overall global economic conditions were significantly impacted by COVID-19. The Company has operated, since the onset of the pandemic, as a provider of certain essential services in the U.S. and other countries and overall business conditions have strengthened since the second quarter of 2020. And while the ultimate duration and impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its operations is presently unclear, the Company expects that business conditions will improve meaningfully in 2021 compared with 2020.

The Company did not record any long-lived asset impairments, indefinite-lived asset impairments, goodwill impairments, significant inventory write-downs or incremental accounts receivable reserves for current expected credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021. However, should the COVID-19 situation deteriorate, such charges are possible in future periods, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with current year classifications.


2.     Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The following accounting standards have been adopted in 2021:

On January 1, 2021 the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB which are intended to reduce complexity and simplify the accounting for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP by removing certain exceptions related to investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations and clarifying existing guidance to improve consistent application. These changes did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following accounting standards have been issued and become effective for the Company at a future date:
In March 2020 the FASB issued changes that provide companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In response to the concerns about risks of IBORs and, particularly, the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. The changes provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued additional clarification changes. The changes can be adopted no later than December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. Management does not believe these changes will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued changes which simplified the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The changes can be adopted
9

no later than January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Management has concluded that this standard will not have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions and Dispositions

ESOL
On April 6, 2020 the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of ESOL, an established waste transportation, processing and services provider with a comprehensive portfolio of disposal solutions for customers primarily across the industrial, retail and healthcare markets from Stericycle, Inc. for $429.0 million of cash consideration, inclusive of post-closing adjustments. In addition, as part of the acquisition, the Company entered into a non-compete agreement with Stericycle, Inc.

The fair value recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for ESOL is as follows:

Non-compete agreement2.5 — 2.5 
Total identifiable net assets of ESOL, including non-compete agreement$438.8 $(9.8)$429.0 

The goodwill is primarily attributed to expected operational efficiencies and synergies from the expanded geographical scale of hazardous waste processing facilities resulting from combining the ESOL business with the existing Clean Earth business of the Company, as well as the value associated with the assembled workforce of ESOL. The Company expects $36.8 million of goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes through 2030.

The following table details the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and amortization periods for ESOL and the non-compete agreement entered into by the Company upon acquisition of ESOL:

The Company valued the identifiable intangible assets using methodologies under the income approach including the multi-period excess earnings method, the distributor method, and the with-and-without method.

ESOL contributed revenue of $134.2 million and operating income of $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The operations of ESOL have been combined and included as part of the Harsco Clean Earth Segment.
10


Clean Earth
On June 28, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Clean Earth, one of the largest U.S. providers of specialty waste processing and beneficial reuse solutions for hazardous wastes, contaminated materials and dredged volumes, for an enterprise valuation of approximately $625 million on a cash free, debt free basis, subject to normal working capital adjustments. The Company transferred approximately $628 million of cash consideration and agreed to reimburse the sellers for any usage of assumed net operating losses in a post-closing period for up to five years.

Pro forma financial information
The pro forma information below gives effect to the ESOL acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2019. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s results of operations had the acquisition been completed on the above date, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. The pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that could result from the acquisition and does not reflect the additional revenue opportunities following the acquisition. The pro forma information below includes the adjustments necessary to reflect additional depreciation and amortization expense based on the estimated fair value and useful lives of intangible assets and fixed assets acquired; includes additional interest expense of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 on the acquisition related borrowings used to finance the acquisition and excludes certain directly attributable acquisition and integration costs. In addition, the historical ESOL results include $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of corporate expenses charged to ESOL from Stericycle.

(a) Pro forma net income includes the after tax gain on the sale of IKG of approximately $9 million.

Harsco Industrial Segment
In January 2020 the Company sold IKG for $85.0 million, including a note receivable with a face value of $40.0 million (initial fair value $34.3 million), and recognized an $18.5 million pre-tax gain on sale (or approximately $9 million after-tax). Together with the 2019 sales of AXC and PK, this completed the divestiture of the former Harsco Industrial Segment originally announced in May 2019. See Note 4, Accounts Receivable and Note Receivable, for additional information related to the note receivable.

The Harsco Industrial Segment has historically been a separate reportable segment with primary operations in North America and Latin America. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the results of the former Harsco Industrial Segment are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Certain key selected financial information included in net income (loss) from discontinued operations for the former Harsco Industrial Segment is as follows:

 Three Months Ended

(In thousands)20212020
Provision for expected credit losses and doubtful accounts related to trade accounts receivable$1,157 $219 

At March 31, 2021 approximately $10.3 million of the Company's trade accounts receivable were past due by twelve months or more. Approximately $5.2 million of this amount is effectively reserved, and collection of the remaining balance is still ultimately expected. The increase from December 31, 2020 is due to the aging of certain customer balances in the Harsco Rail Segment, the balance of which the Company ultimately expects to collect.

In January 2020 the Company sold IKG for $85.0 million including cash and a note receivable, subject to post-closing adjustments. The note receivable from the buyer has a face value of $40.0 million, bearing interest at 2.50%, that is paid in kind and matures on January 31, 2027. Any unpaid principal, along with any accrued but unpaid interest is payable at maturity. Prepayment is required in case of a change in control or a percentage of excess cash flow, as defined in the note receivable agreement. Because there are no scheduled payments under the terms of the note receivable, the balance is not classified as current as of March 31, 2021 and is included in the caption Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The initial fair value of the note receivable was $34.3 million which was calculated using an average of various discounted cash flow scenarios based on anticipated timing of repayments (Level 3) and was a non-cash transaction. The note receivable is subsequently measured at amortized cost. Key inputs into the valuation model include: projected timing and amount of cash flows, pro forma debt rating, option-adjusted spread and U.S. Treasury spot rate. At March 31, 2021 the amortized cost of the note receivable was $36.2 million, compared with a fair value of $36.2 million.
