Blueprint
for Success
Harsco is following a detailed blueprint for long-term success. Across our global enterprise,
we’re creating a sustainable future as an ROIC-focused organization that wins through
customer-focused innovation, disciplined execution and a re-ignited passion for success.
We’re adopting new operating standards that bring enhanced consistency to our worldwide
sites. We’re forging new supplier relationships that support global
expansion. We’re strengthening manufacturing processes based on
Lean principles. And in every Harsco business, we’re creating
new value and revenue streams by meeting customer
demand for environmental solutions.

Building Best-in-Class
Performance Standards
Division-wide adoption of consistent operating standards
in all functions and disciplines is helping Harsco Metals
& Minerals improve its performance and better satisfy
its customers.
In the global steel industry, customers evaluate supplier
performance based on variables like employee safety, service
quality, reliability, productivity, and environmental responsibility.

improving business performance.
Harsco Metals & Minerals serves customers across
170 global sites, and we’re striving to bring greater consistency
to the way we operate and the services we deliver. We’ve clearly
defined performance standards, established worldwide best
practices for achieving them, and introduced new analytics to
measure success. One of our latest tools is Bloodhound™,
our proprietary online system for maximizing
the metal yield of our metal recovery plants.
More than a technological innovation,
Bloodhound™ also aligns with our commit-
ment to continuous improvement. It gives
our customers detailed, up-to-the-minute
telemetrics on the rate and flow of recovered metal content.
These new practices are creating a win-win for customers,
and for Harsco. Customers benefit from greater predictability
of Harsco’s performance and cost, consistent excellence in
operations, and high levels of service and responsiveness.
Harsco is improving operating performance by collecting more
site-level data and using it to improve safety and environmental
impact. This data also empowers managers to make local
operating decisions based on a clear picture of costs relative
to their operating budgets and financial returns.
At the Patterson-Kelley division, a new concept-to-commercialization
engine has helped jump-start new product offerings and drive
steady growth.
Patterson-Kelley listened carefully as commercial boiler
customers throughout North America expressed a strategic need
to boost efficiency and expand product offerings. We entered
the stainless steel boiler market in late 2013 with our patented
SONIC® product, and favorable response pushed sales far beyond
first-year goals. We are now developing more sizes of SONIC®, and
pre-orders for these models are growing even before production
begins. We also introduced the space-friendly MACH ’n’ Roll™
domestic hot water heating system, one of the most compact
units of its type in the commercial boiler marketplace.
At the end of 2014, we completed work on a new NURO™
touchpad control platform that covers all aspects of a boiler’s
operations. With two patents pending, NURO™ is a true differenti-
ator that is earning rave reviews—and is driving increased demand
for all of our products. The controller is available on the SONIC®
boiler platforms now and will soon be integrated into our entire
boiler product line.
Together, these products demonstrate how a commitment
to pacesetting engineering, continuous improvement and customer
focus can keep a 135-year-old division at the forefront of change.

HARSCO CORPORATION
Building Total
Life Cycle Support
New relationships are positioning Harsco Rail to support
new global contracts—and to grow our long-term value
to customers.
When customers around the world negotiate large rail equipment
contracts, they pay close attention to how original equipment
manufacturers will support their equipment throughout the
product life cycle. Public and private railroads around the world
are responding favorably to our customer-focused service model.
We’re driving leading-edge innovation directly in response to
customer needs, both now and into the future.
Harsco’s customer-first philosophy figured prominently in two
recent, long-term contracts signed with SBB, the national railway
company of Switzerland, each valued at more than $100 million.
Harsco will produce specialized utility track vehicles and catenary
maintenance units, both to the highest European specifications.
Harsco Rail contracted to purchase a meaningful portion of the
content from Swiss suppliers, and also will utilize components
and advanced technology from other proven European railway
suppliers. And by meeting customer objectives for locally sourced
and supported content, we’re helping boost local economies while
building reliable supply lines throughout the product life cycle.
6 2014 SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT
Mapping an Efficient
Manufacturing Layout
Moving five individual manufacturing plants under one
roof will add capacity and accelerate the production
cycle, so Harsco Industrial AXC can help energy
producers meet growing demand for natural gas.
At Harsco Industrial AXC, Lean analysis revealed that our
Air-X-Changers engineered coolers traveled dozens of miles
between plants during the manufacturing process. That meant
extra transportation expense, a longer production cycle and
higher fixed costs driven by the use of multiple facilities.

We’re also demonstrating our commitment by reducing the

implemented two new projects. One reduced electrical consump-

through more efficient lighting, while a second significantly

(a) Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment charges primarily attributable to site exit costs and non-cash long lived asset impairment charges associated with strategic actions from Project Orion’s focus on
underperforming contracts (Full year 2014 $50.1 million pre-tax).
(b) Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment charges incurred in connection with the termination of a contract for a customer in receivership (Full year 2014 $11.6 million pre-tax, which includes $7.7 million
primarily for non-cash long lived asset impairment and $3.9 million pre-receivership receivable bad debt reserve charges).
(c) Brazilian labor claim reserve adjustments in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment (Full year 2014 $7.5 million pre-tax).
(d) Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment Improvement Plan (“Project Orion”) restructuring charges (Full year 2014 $12.0 million pre-tax).
(e) Loss resulting from the Harsco Infrastructure Transaction, which was consummated in the fourth quarter of 2013 (Full year 2014 $3.9 million pre-tax; Full year 2013 $271.3 million pre-tax).
(f) Strategic transaction review costs recorded as Corporate expenses (Full year 2014 $3.5 million pre-tax).
(g) Harsco Infrastructure Transaction costs recorded as Corporate expenses (Full year 2014 $2.2 million pre-tax; Full year 2013 $20.1 million pre-tax).
(h) Asset impairment charge on rail grinder equipment in the Harsco Rail Segment (Full year 2014 $0.6 million pre-tax; Full year 2013 $9.0 million pre-tax).
(i) Currency translation gains associated with exited Harsco Infrastructure operations retained recorded as an offset of Corporate expenses (Full year 2014 $2.2 million pre-tax).
(j) Non-cash tax impact of Harsco Infrastructure Segment sale – undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and deferred tax valuation allowance (Full year 2013 $30.8 million).
(k) Bad debt expense incurred in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment (Full year 2013 $2.6 million pre-tax).
(l) Depreciation expense reduction from classification of Harsco Infrastructure Segment assets as held-for-sale (Full year 2013 $17.3 million pre-tax).
(m) Includes equity in income of affiliates and noncontrolling interests (Full year 2013 $(2.9) million). Segment operating results incorporate reclassifications for the three months and twelve months ended December
31, 2013 to conform to the revised manner in which the Company now allocates corporate expenses to operating segments as a result of changes in organizational structure resulting from the Infrastructure
Transaction, which was consummated in the fourth quarter of 2013. The changes do not impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated revenues from continuing operations, operating income from
continuing operations or income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity income.
The Company’s management believes adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items and the Harsco Infrastructure Segment, which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, are
useful to investors because they provide an overall understanding of the Company’s historical and future prospects. Exclusion of special items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the Company’s core
business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the Company’s performance. Exclusion of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment from 2013 provides a basis for comparison of ongoing
operations and prospects since the segment was divested in the fourth quarter of 2013. These measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance
with U.S. GAAP.

Return on invested capital excluding special items and Harsco Infrastructure Segment
6.6%
6.0%
(a) Return on invested capital excluding special items and the Harsco Infrastructure Segment is net income from continuing operations excluding special items, after-tax Harsco Infrastructure Segment results, and
after-tax interest expense, divided by average capital for the year. The Company uses a trailing twelve month average for computing average capital.
(b) The Company’s effective tax rate approximated 37% on an adjusted basis for both periods for interest expense.
The Company’s management believes return on invested capital excluding special items and the Harsco Infrastructure Segment, which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, are meaningful in evaluating the efficiency
and effectiveness of the capital invested in the Company’s business. Exclusion of special items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the Company’s core business operations, and it is on this basis that
management internally assesses the Company’s performance. Exclusion of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment provides a basis for comparison of ongoing operations and prospects since the segment was divested in the
fourth quarter of 2013. These measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income or other information provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(a) Maintenance capital expenditures are necessary to sustain the Company’s current revenue streams and include contract renewal.
(b) Growth capital expenditures, for which management has discretion as to amount, timing and geographic placement, expand the Company’s revenue base and create additional future cash flow.
(c) Capital expenditures for strategic ventures represent the partner’s share of capital expenditures in certain ventures consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.
(d) Asset sales are a normal part of the business model, primarily for the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment. For the full year ended December 31, 2014, this line item also includes proceeds of $12.4 million from
the Harsco Infrastructure Transaction net working capital settlement.
The Company’s management believes that free cash flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations less capital
expenditures net of asset sales proceeds. It is important to note that free cash flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures,
such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure. Exclusion of the Harsco Infrastructure Segment from 2013 provides a basis for comparison of ongoing operations and prospects since
the segment was divested in the fourth quarter of 2013. This measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
