April 12, 2018 

Dear Shareholders, 

2017 was a year of challenges and opportunities as we continued to face headwinds from soft end markets and customer 
spending  deferrals—as  well  as  two  Gulf  Coast  hurricanes  that  affected  many  of  our  customers  and  employees.  We  are 
thankful that both our customers and employees persevered through these natural disasters, and we are encouraged by 
signals of a market turnaround experienced in the latter part of the year. In fact, we ended the year with our best quarterly 
earnings performance of 2017, including: 

•   Consolidated revenues of $316.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 were the highest of the year; 
•   Consolidated net loss improved to breakeven in  the fourth quarter of 2017 from a net loss of $9.4 million in the  

fourth quarter of 2016; 

•   Quest Integrity revenues increased 21% in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to prior year same quarter; full year 

2017 revenues of $82 million were an annual record; and 

•   All business segments achieved their highest Adjusted EBITDA1 performance of the year in the fourth quarter and 

highest since the second quarter of 2016. 

Now, I would like to share some insights from my first few months as Chief Executive Officer in terms of key priorities:  

1.  Safety and Quality. As part of our first core value, Safety First, Quality Always, we are committed to achieving the 
highest  standard of safety in  the industry.  In 2018,  we are refreshing our  safety programs and  empowering and 
incentivizing  our  employees  to  deliver  improved  safety  performance  across  all  of  our  operations  and  business 
segments. 

2.  People.  We  have  a  talented  group  of  loyal,  hard-working  and  experienced  people  across  our  branches,  business 
units,  manufacturing  and  engineering  teams  and  technology  centers.  They  take  pride  in  their  work  and  have 
embraced our mission of continuous improvement in execution excellence. 
Improve operating performance. We have the broadest service offering in the industrial services market. We will 
continue to ensure our service line execution is standardized across our operations network to achieve the highest 
quality for our customers, regardless of location.   

3. 

4.  Financial performance and balance sheet. While we are encouraged by the profitability improvements in the fourth 
quarter, we remain focused on continued improvements to profitability, cash flows and debt balance reduction. We 
are monitoring short-term results and developing longer-term strategic initiatives to improve our cost structure and 
to leverage the scale of the  Company. Further, we recently announced an amendment to our credit facility that 
enhances our liquidity and financial flexibility. 

Recent Operational Performance and Technology Developments 

•   Team Digital is our proprietary platform that maximizes quality and efficiency through digitally enabled workflows. 
Our clients gain real-time visibility into inspection efficiencies, project planning and task status, enabling more rapid 
business decisions and adherence to project scope and quality control. Utilizing the Team Digital platform, our clients 
have experienced increased inspection efficiencies in their turnarounds of 20% to 30%. 

•   Our parts manufacturing and engineering processes, in many cases, were technologically outdated, not cost effective 
and led to extended delivery times. In the last few months, we have made strategic investments into manufacturing 
equipment and lean processes, and have added subject matter experts to significantly improve our manufacturing 
and engineering capabilities. These actions will allow us to produce parts more efficiently both in terms of speed and 
cost, with a higher level of safety and quality control. 

•   Quest  I(cid:374)tegrity’s  InVistaTM  in-line  inspection  service  continues  to  gain  global  traction,  with  successful  projects 
completed in North America, Europe and Asia. The recent introduction of our two-inch in-line inspection tool and 
further development of our portfolio to accommodate higher pressures and temperatures common in the offshore 
environment have collectively expanded our addressable market.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to our fourth quarter 2017 earnings press release included in our Current Report on Form 
8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2018 for additional information. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Branding Strategy  

We are now proactively accelerating the integration of our business segments under the TEAM brand. Going forward, we will 
operate  as  TEAM  and  provide  services  through  Team  Mechanical  Services,  Team  Inspection  &  Heat  Treating,  and  Quest 
Integrity. This new branding initiative will help to change the way we approach our customers and to influence our go-to-
market strategy.  

Performance Improvement 

In response to the softer and more volatile macro environment in 2017, Team took direct actions to reduce the overall cost 
structure of the Company. 

1. 

2. 

In July 2017, we launched Phase I of the performance improvement plan, which was completed during the second 
half of the year. We reduced our costs by $30 million on an annualized basis from this phase.  
In February 2018, along with our consultant, Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), we formally launched Phase II or 
(cid:862)O(cid:374)eTEAM(cid:863), our (cid:271)usi(cid:374)ess integration and transformation program.  

OneTEAM leverages our existing strengths with an emphasis on safety, quality, service line delivery and addressable markets 
to enhance profitability and cash flows.  

OneTEAM consists of three key pillars: 

1.  Revenue Enhancement. We are developing plans to provide more of our services and products to existing clients 

and geographies in order to increase total market share, expand and diversify to other industries and geographies 
and improve our pricing and value positioning.  

2.  Operational Excellence. Our new operating model will reduce the administrative burden on operations, and allow 
branch locations to enhance their focus on product and service delivery, safety, quality, customers and field 
personnel.  

3.  Center-led Functional Support Cost Improvement. We will leverage Tea(cid:373)’s size and scale through purchasing as 

well as the introduction of innovative technologies and optimized processes to better support our branches more 
efficiently and cost effectively. 

Macroeconomic Outlook 

The 2018 global and U.S. GDP outlook suggests year-over-year growth. The external data for 2018 industrial plant spending 
projects a 4% to 5% increase over 2017, driven partially by more stable oil prices. Team also expects improvements in 2018, 
as evide(cid:374)(cid:272)ed (cid:271)y positive early i(cid:374)di(cid:272)ators of (cid:271)oth tur(cid:374)arou(cid:374)d a(cid:374)d proje(cid:272)t a(cid:272)tivity levels. A(cid:374)d (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause our e(cid:373)ployees’ su(cid:272)(cid:272)ess 
should  align  directly  with  our  shareholders,  we  have  established  our  2018  incentive  compensation  plan  based  on  these 
improved market expectations, with targets for revenue, profitability and cash flows. 

We continue to instill a strong culture of safety, management discipline and accountability, while taking proactive steps to 
stabilize and improve our overall business performance. We are focused on integrating and transforming the organization by 
leveraging our strengths—our people, technology, scale and blue-chip customer base. Our goal is to create an organization 
that is more efficient and cost effective to drive growth and profitability. I am proud of the resolve and accomplishments of 
our employees, customers and shareholders during 2017, and am honored to have the opportunity to lead an outstanding 
team as we embark on a new chapter for Team – driving execution excellence. 

Thank you for your continued support. 

Sincerely, 

Amerino Gatti

ITEM 1. 

BUSINESS

General Information

Introduction. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Team, Inc.,” “Team,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” are used 
in this report to refer to Team, Inc., to one or more of our consolidated subsidiaries or to all of them taken as a whole. We incorporated 
in  the  State  of  Delaware  on  October  20,  2006  and  our  company  website  can  be  found  at  www.teaminc.com.  Our  corporate 
headquarters is located at 13131 Dairy Ashford, Suite 600, Sugar Land, Texas, 77478 and our telephone number is (281) 331-6154. 
Our stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TISI.” On November 10, 2015, we announced 
a change of our fiscal year end to December 31 of each calendar year from May 31. 

We are a leading provider of standard to specialty industrial services, including inspection, engineering assessment and 
mechanical repair and remediation required in maintaining high temperature and high pressure piping systems and vessels that 
are utilized extensively in the refining, petrochemical, power, pipeline and other heavy industries. We conduct operations in three
segments: TeamQualspec Group (“TeamQualspec”) (formerly the Inspection and Heat Treating Services Group), TeamFurmanite 
Group  (“TeamFurmanite”)  (formerly  the  Mechanical  Services  Group)  and  Quest  Integrity  (“Quest  Integrity”).  Through  the 
capabilities and resources in these three segments, we believe that Team is uniquely qualified to provide integrated solutions 
involving in their most basic form, inspection to assess condition, engineering assessment to determine fitness for purpose in the 
context of industry standards and regulatory codes and mechanical services to repair, rerate or replace based upon the client’s 
election. In addition, the Company is capable of escalating with the client’s needs, as dictated by the severity of the damage found 
and  the  related  operating  conditions,  from  standard  services  to  some  of  the  most  advanced  services  and  integrated  integrity 
management and asset reliability solutions available in the industry. We also believe that Team is unique in its ability to provide 
services in three distinct client demand profiles: (i) turnaround or project services, (ii) call-out services and (iii) nested or run-
and-maintain services. 

TeamQualspec provides standard and advanced non-destructive testing (“NDT”) services for the process, pipeline and power 
sectors, pipeline integrity management services, field heat treating services, as well as associated engineering and assessment 
services.  These  services  can  be  offered  while  facilities  are  running  (on-stream),  during  facility  turnarounds  or  during  new 
construction or expansion activities.

TeamFurmanite, our mechanical services segment, provides primarily call-out and turnaround services under both on-stream 
and off-line/shut down circumstances. Turnaround services are project-related and demand is a function of the number and scope 
of scheduled and unscheduled facility turnarounds as well as new industrial facility construction or expansion activities. The 
turnaround and call-out services TeamFurmanite provides include field machining, technical bolting, field valve repair, and isolation 
test plugging services. On-stream services offered by TeamFurmanite represent the services offered while plants are operating and 
under pressure. These services include leak repair, fugitive emissions control and hot tapping.

Quest Integrity provides integrity and reliability management solutions for the process, pipeline and power sectors. These 
solutions encompass two broadly-defined disciplines: (1) highly specialized in-line inspection services for unpiggable process 
piping and pipelines using proprietary in-line inspection tools and analytical software; and (2) advanced condition assessment 
services through a multi-disciplined engineering team. 

We offer these services globally through over 220 locations in 20 countries throughout the world with more than 7,300 
employees. We market our services to companies in a diverse array of heavy industries which include the petrochemical, refining, 
power,  pipeline,  steel,  pulp  and  paper  industries,  as  well  as  municipalities,  shipbuilding,  original  equipment  manufacturers 
(“OEMs”), distributors, and some of the world’s largest engineering and construction firms. 

As previously announced, in September 2017, Ted W. Owen stepped down as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Gary 
G. Yesavage, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), was appointed as Team’s Interim CEO to serve until a permanent 
CEO was hired. Effective January 24, 2018, the Board named Amerino Gatti as CEO and a member of the Board.

Narrative Description of Business

TeamQualspec Group:

TeamQualspec offers standard to specialty inspection services as well as heat treating services. Heat treating services are 

generally associated with turnaround or project activities. A description of these services is as follows:

Non-Destructive Evaluation and Testing Services. Machined parts and industrial structures can be complex systems that 
experience extreme loads and fatigue during their lifetime. Our Non-Destructive Evaluation (“NDE”), or Non-Destructive Testing 
(“NDT”), enables the inspection of these components without permanently altering the equipment. It is a highly valuable technique 
that is often used to validate the integrity of materials, detect instabilities, discover performance outside of tolerances, identify 
failed components, or highlight an inadequate control system. Inspection services frequently require industry recognized training 
and  certification  processes. We  maintain  training  and  certification  programs,  which  are  designed  to  meet  or  exceed  industry 
standards. As assets continue to age and compliance regulations advance, inspection techniques are playing a critical role in fit-
for-life service assessments.

Radiographic Testing. Radiographic Testing (“RT”) is used to detect discontinuities in ferrous and nonferrous castings, 
welds or forgings using X-ray or gamma ray radiation. RT reveals both external and internal defects, internal assembly details 
and  changes  in  thickness.  Our  licensed  technicians  utilize  conventional,  computed  and  real-time  radiography  testing 
techniques depending upon the complexity and needs of our customers.

Ultrasonic Testing. Ultrasonic Testing (“UT”) uses high frequency ultrasonic waves to detect surface breaking and internal 
imperfections, measure material thickness and determine acceptance or rejection of a test object based on a reference code 
or standard. We offer ten different types of UT methods, including traditional scans as well as automated and high speed 
ultrasonic  Electro  Magnet Acoustic  Transducer  testing.  Each  method  is  utilized  to  meet  a  specific  material  or  process 
application requirement.

Magnetic Particle Inspection. Magnetic Particle Inspection is an NDT process for detecting surface and slightly subsurface 
discontinuities in ferroelectric materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys. The process puts a magnetic 
field into the test object. When the part is magnetized, flaws perpendicular to the magnetic field direction cause flux leakage. 
If a lapse or a crack is present, the magnetic particles will be attracted to the flawed area, providing our technician with what 
is called an indication. Our technician will then evaluate the indication to assess the location, size, shape and extent of these 
imperfections.

Liquid Penetrant Inspection. Liquid Penetrant Inspection is one of the most widely used NDE/NDT methods. Its popularity 
can be attributed to two main factors: its relative ease of use and its flexibility. Liquid Penetrant Inspection can be used to 
inspect  almost  any  material. At  Team,  we  utilize  Liquid  Penetrant  Inspection  to  detect  surface  discontinuities  in  both 
ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials. In castings and forgings, there may be cracks or leaks in new products or 
fatigue cracks in in-service components.

Positive Material Identification. Positive Material Identification (“PMI”) quickly and accurately identifies the composition 
of more than 100 different engineering alloys onsite. Team can perform PMI on virtually any size or shape of pipe, plate, 
weld, welding materials, machined parts or castings.

Electromagnetic Testing. Electromagnetic Testing applies to a family of test methods that use magnetism and electricity to 
detect or measure cracks, flaws, corrosion or heat damage in conductive materials. Magnetic properties and geometric analysis 
are used to determine the best technique to identify defects. Our electromagnetic services enable our technicians to evaluate 
small cracks, pits, dents and general thinning in tubing with small diameters, large steel surfaces such as storage tank floors, 
and everything in between.

Alternating Current Field Measurement. Originally developed for inspection of fatigue cracking, our Alternating Current 
Field Measurement (“ACFM”) is an advanced technique for detecting surface cracks and pinpointing the location, length 
and depth of the defect. Our ACFM works through paint and coatings and in a wide range of temperatures. Results are 
automatically recorded and accepted by certification authorities.

Eddy  Current  Testing.  Eddy  Current  Testing  (“ECT”)  is  ideal  for  nonferrous  materials  such  as  heat  exchanger  tubes, 
condensers, boilers, tubing and aircraft surfaces. Team’s ECT uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive 
materials, displaying the presence of very small cracks, pits, dents and general thinning.

Long-Range Guided Ultrasonics. Guided wave inspection is a method of ultrasonic testing that enables the detection and 
location of pipe defects above and below ground without disruption of service. This technique only requires a small area of 
excavation to perform the testing where applicable. Guided ultrasonics sends a bilateral signal over hundreds of feet allowing 
long ranges of piping to be inspected at one time.

Table of Contents

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing. Phased Array Ultrasonics (“PAUT”) provides sharper detection capability for off-angle 
cracks and is capable of displaying multiple presentations simultaneously. PAUT applies computer-controlled excitation to 
individual elements in a multi-element probe. By varying the timing of the excitation, the sound beam can be swept through 
a range of angles. The shape of the beam may also be modified to a specific focal distance or spot.

Tank Inspection and Management Programs. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, TCI Services, Inc. (“TCI”), is a storage tank 
management company that performs inspections, engineering and repair services across the United States (“U.S.”) for above 
ground storage tanks. Backed by Team’s in-house engineering, documentation and certification services – including American 
Petroleum Institute 653 evaluations – TCI’s on-site tank inspections, repair and maintenance services help keep customers’ 
tanks fully operational and compliant with stringent industry standards.

Rope Access. We provide a range of innovative and cost-effective solutions to suit the customer’s individual requirements 
for inspection and maintenance services to the energy and industrial markets. Our rope access solutions allow for work to 
be carried out more quickly than traditional methods using scaffolding, keeping costs and job duration to a minimum. We 
provide  these  services  under  full  accreditation  by  the  Industrial  Rope Access  Trade Association,  whose  guidelines  are 
recognized by the industry as the safest method of working at height.

Mechanical Integrity Services. Maintaining the integrity of equipment is more than simply performing inspections. A well-
implemented Mechanical Integrity (“MI”) program involves multiple components that improve the safety and reliability of 
a facility’s equipment. Our MI programs are designed to ensure the continued integrity and fitness for service of piping 
systems, pressure vessels, tanks and related components. We believe our mechanical integrity engineers are well versed in 
pertinent codes and standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (“OSHA”) process safety management 
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (the “EPA”) risk management program regulations.

Field Heat Treating Services. Field Heat Treating Services include electric resistance and gas-fired combustion, primarily 
utilized by industrial customers to enhance the metallurgical properties of their process piping and equipment. Electric resistance 
heating is the transfer of high energy power sources through attached heaters to the plant component to preheat weld joints, to 
remove contaminants and moisture prior to welding, post-weld heat treatments and to relieve metal thermal stresses induced by 
the welding process. Specialty heat treating processes are performed using gas-fired combustion on large pressure vessels for 
stress relieving to bake specialty paint coatings and controlled drying of abrasion and temperature resistant refractories. Special 
high  frequency  heating,  commonly  called  induction  heating,  is  used  for  expanding  metal  parts  for  assembly  or  disassembly, 
expanding large bolting for industrial turbines and stress relieving projects which is cost prohibitive for electric resistance or gas-
fired combustion.

TeamFurmanite Group:

TeamFurmanite  offers  standard  to  specialty  services  as  follows  within  both  on-stream  and  turnaround/project-related 

environments as follows:

Leak Repair Services. Our leak repair services consist of on-stream repairs of leaks in pipes, valves, flanges and other parts 
of piping systems and related equipment. Our on-stream repairs utilize composite repair, drill and tap repair, and both standard 
and custom-designed clamps and enclosures for piping systems. We use specially developed techniques, sealants and equipment 
for repairs. Many of our repairs are furnished as interim measures which allow plant systems to continue operating until more 
permanent repairs can be made during plant shut downs. Our leak repair services involve inspection of the leak by our field crew 
who records pertinent information about the faulty part of the system and transmits the information to our engineering department 
for  determination  of  appropriate  repair  techniques.  Repair  materials  such  as  clamps  and  enclosures  are  custom  designed  and 
manufactured at our International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”)-9001 certified manufacturing centers and delivered 
to the job site. We maintain an inventory of raw materials and semi-finished clamps and enclosures to reduce the time required to 
manufacture the finished product.

Fugitive Emissions Control Services. We provide fugitive volatile organic compound (“VOC”) emission leak detection 
services that include identification, monitoring, data management and reporting primarily for the chemical, refining and natural 
gas processing industries. These services are designed to monitor and record VOC emissions from specific process equipment and 
piping components as required by environmental regulations and customer requests, typically assisting the customer in enhancing 
an ongoing maintenance program and/or complying with present and/or future environmental regulations. We provide specialty 
trained technicians in the use of portable organic chemical analyzers and data loggers to measure potential leaks at designated 
plant components maintained in customer or our proprietary databases. The measured data is used to prepare standard reports in 
compliance  with  EPA  and  local  regulatory  requirements.  We  also  provide  enhanced  custom-designed  reports  to  customer 
specifications.

Hot Tapping Services. Our hot tapping services consist of a full range of hot tapping, Line-stopTM and Freeze-stopTM services 
with capabilities for up to 48” diameter pipelines. Hot tapping services involve utilizing special equipment to cut a hole in a 
pressurized pipeline so that a new branch pipe can be connected onto the existing pipeline without interrupting operations. Line-
stopTM services permit the line to be depressurized downstream so that maintenance work can be performed on the piping system. 
We typically perform these services by mechanically cutting into the pipeline similar to a hot tap and installing a special plugging 
device to stop the process flow. The Hi-stopTM is a proprietary procedure that allows stopping of the process flow in extreme 
pressures and temperatures. In some cases, we may use a line freezing procedure by injecting liquid nitrogen into installed special 
external chambers around the pipe to stop the process flow. Inflatable bag stops are used when a pipe is out of round or inside 
surface conditions of the pipe prevent a standard line stop. It can also be used to back up a line stop. A small hot tap is made into 
a pipe and an inflatable pipe plug is inserted into the pipe to allow the plug to stop the flow in the pipe. Additionally, we provide 
innovative line stop applications for unique service applications to meet customers’ needs.

Field Machining Services and  Technical Bolting Services. We use  portable machining equipment to repair or modify 
machinery, equipment, vessels and piping systems not easily removed from a permanent location. As opposed to conventional 
machining processes where the work piece rotates and the cutting tool is fixed, in field machining, the work piece remains fixed 
in position and the cutting tool rotates. Other common descriptions for this service are on-site or in-place machining. Field machining 
services include flange facing, pipe cutting, line boring, journal turning, drilling and milling. We provide customers technical 
bolting as a complementary service to field machining during plant shut downs or maintenance activities. These services involve 
the use of hydraulic or pneumatic equipment with industry standard bolt tightening techniques to achieve reliable and leak-free 
connections following plant maintenance or expansion projects. Additional services include bolt disassembly and hot bolting, 
which is a technique to remove and replace a bolt while in service and hot.

Valve Repair Services. We perform on-site and shop-based repairs to manual and control valves and pressure and safety 
relief valves as well as specialty valve actuator diagnostics and repair. We are certified and authorized to perform testing and 
repairs to pressure and safety relief valves by The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (the “NBBPVI”). This 
certification requires specific procedures, testing and documentation to maintain the safe operation of these essential plant valves. 
We provide special transportable trailers to the plant site which contain specialty machines to manufacture valve components 
without removing the valve from the piping system. In addition, we provide preventive maintenance programs for VOC specific 
valves and valve data management programs. The Company also represents selected valve manufacturers and distributes their 
products complementary to our clients’ valve needs. 

Field Welding. We perform certified manual, semi-automatic and fully automated machine welding services in a variety of 
specialty industrial applications. All Team welders are certified to applicable American Society of Mechanical Engineers (“ASME”) 
code and we are authorized by the NBBPVI for the repair of nuclear components, boilers and other pressure-containing components.

Isolation and Test Plug Services. We install isolation plugs to provide a mechanical block of flammable atmosphere to allow 
for pipe cutting and welding without having to purge the entire piping system. The plugs are mechanically expanded to seal on 
the inside pipe surface and provide a venting system to prevent pressure from building up in the piping system while the system 
is opened. Test plugs are used to verify the integrity of welded joints by providing sealing surfaces on both sides of the weld and 
pressuring the void cavity in between. The test plugs allow the customer to comply with the ASME hydrostatic test requirements 
for welded joints without having to pressurize the whole system which may result in shutdown of other systems or environmental 
issues with the test medium.

Valve Insertion Services. We offer professional installation services for our patented InsertValveTM. The valve installs under 
pressure, eliminating the need for line shut downs in the event of planned or emergency valve cut-ins. Designed for a wide range 
of line sizes and types, the InsertValveTM wedge gate sits on the valve body, not the pipe bottom. This unique feature prevents the 
seat from coming into contact with the cut pipe edges to significantly extend valve life. If a repair is ever needed, we believe it is 
the only valve on the market that can be repaired under pressure.

consulting.

Acquisitions

In  June  2016,  we  acquired  a  mechanical  furnace  and  pipe  cleaning  business  in  Europe,  Turbinate  International  B.V. 
(“Turbinate”) for approximately $8 million. Recognized as a service leader in the European market, Turbinate specializes in de-
coking and cleaning of fired heaters and unpiggable refinery assets as well as mechanical cleaning of furnaces and pipes from two 
to 18 inches in diameter by means of pigging, endoscopy and ultra sound inspection services. Turbinate is located in Vianen, the 
Netherlands. Turbinate is reported in the Quest Integrity segment.

In April 2016, we acquired two related businesses in Europe: Quality Inspection Services (“QIS”) and TiaT Europe (“TiaT”) 
for a total of approximately $9 million. QIS is an NDT inspection company and TiaT is an NDT training school and consultancy 
and engineering company recognized as a specialist in aerospace inspections. Both companies are located in Roosendaal, the 
Netherlands. The businesses added about 65 employees to our organization in Europe and serve off-shore energy and storage tank 
clients, steel construction, ship repair, off-shore and storage tank customers, as well as the aerospace industry. QIS is the fourth 
largest NDT inspection company in the Netherlands and represents TeamQualspec’s first inspection operation outside of North 
America. QIS and TiaT are reported in the TeamQualspec segment.

In February 2016, we completed our acquisition of Furmanite Corporation (now Furmanite LLC, “Furmanite”) pursuant to 
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) under which we acquired all the outstanding shares of Furmanite in 
a  stock  transaction  at  a  value  of  approximately  $282.3  million  which  included  the  payoff,  immediately  prior  to  closing,  of 
approximately $70.8 million in Furmanite debt. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Furmanite shareholders received 0.215 
shares of Team common stock for each share of Furmanite common stock they owned. The combination doubled the size of Team’s 
mechanical services capabilities and established a deeper, broader talent and resource pool that better supports customers across 
standard and specialty mechanical services worldwide. In addition, our expanded capability and capacity offers an enhanced single-
point of accountability and flexibility in addressing some of the most critical needs of clients; whether as individual services or 
as part of an integrated specialty industrial services solution. The purchase price allocation included net working capital of $143.9 
million, $63.3 million in fixed assets, $89.0 million in intangibles, $91.4 million of non-current deferred tax liabilities, $13.5 
million of defined benefit pension liabilities with $89.6 million allocated to goodwill. Our consolidated results include the activity 
of  Furmanite  beginning  on  the  acquisition  date  of  February  29,  2016.  Included  in  the  Furmanite  acquisition  was  a  process 
management inspection services business serving contractors and operators participating primarily in the midstream oil and gas 
market in the U.S. Upon acquisition, we determined that this business was not a strategic fit for Team and shortly thereafter began 
marketing the business to prospective buyers. We completed the sale of this operation in December 2016. The operating results 
of this business were reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, we acquired 100% of the membership interests in Qualspec Group LLC (“Qualspec”) for total cash consideration 
of $255.5 million. Qualspec is a leading provider of NDT services in the U.S., with significant operations in the West Coast, Gulf 
Coast and Mid-Western areas of the country. Qualspec was primarily specialized in nested or run-and-maintain services and adds 
strength to our resident refinery inspection programs with major customer relationships across the U.S., as well as to our already 
strong  capabilities  in  advanced  inspection  services,  rope  access  services  and  the  delivery  of  innovative  technologies  to  our 
customers. The purchase of Qualspec was financed through borrowings under our banking credit facility. The purchase price 
allocation included net working capital of $16.3 million, $15.5 million in fixed assets, $78.1 million in intangibles, $3.0 million
of non-current deferred tax liability, with $148.5 million allocated to goodwill. Our consolidated results include the activity of 
Qualspec beginning on the acquisition date of July 7, 2015 in the TeamQualspec segment.

In June 2015, we purchased DK Amans Valve, an advanced valve leader located in Long Beach, California, with a portfolio 
of projects from various sectors including oil and gas refining, pipelines and power generation for a total consideration of $12.3 
million, net of cash acquired of $0.1 million. The purchase price included net working capital of $3.0 million, $0.6 million in fixed 
assets and $8.8 million in intangibles that includes $2.5 million allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocation included 
contingent consideration initially valued at $1.8 million, but as a result of meeting certain performance targets, ultimately resulted 
in the payment of additional consideration of $4.0 million. DK Amans Valve is reported in the TeamFurmanite segment.

In August 2014, we purchased a valve repair company in the U.K. for total consideration of $3.1 million, net of cash acquired 
of $0.2 million, including estimated contingent consideration of $0.3 million. Our purchase price allocation resulted in $2.1 million 
being allocated to fixed assets and net working capital and $1.0 million being applied to goodwill and intangible assets. This 
business is reported in the TeamFurmanite segment.

In July 2013, we purchased a leading provider of industrial rope access services, for total consideration of approximately 
$12.9 million including net working capital of $1.3 million and $11.6 million allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. We 
estimate $9.2 million of the goodwill recognized to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation included contingent 
consideration valued at $1.9 million. This business is reported in the TeamQualspec segment.

Marketing and Customers

Our industrial services are marketed principally by personnel based at our service locations. We believe that these service 
locations are situated to facilitate timely responses to customer needs with on-call expertise, which is an important feature of 
selling and providing our services. Our array of integrated services also allows us to benefit from the procurement trends of many 
of our customers who are seeking reductions in the number of contractors and vendors in their facilities. No single customer 
accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016, the seven months ended 
December 31, 2015 or in the year ended May 31, 2015.

Generally, customers are billed on a time and materials basis, although some work may be performed pursuant to a fixed-
price bid. Services are usually performed pursuant to purchase orders issued under written customer agreements. While most 
purchase orders provide for the performance of a single job, some provide for services to be performed on a run-and-maintain 
basis. Substantially all our agreements and contracts may be terminated by either party on short notice. The agreements generally 
specify the range of services to be performed and the hourly rates for labor. While many contracts cover specific plants or locations, 
we also enter into multiple-site regional or national contracts which cover multiple plants or locations.

Geographic Areas

For a discussion and breakdown of revenues by geographic area, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality

We experience some seasonal fluctuations. Historically, the refining industry has scheduled plant shutdowns (commonly 
referred to as “turnarounds”) for the fall and spring seasons. The timing of large turnarounds can significantly impact our revenues.

Employees

At December 31, 2017, we had approximately 7,300 employees in our worldwide operations. Our employees in the U.S. 
are predominantly non-unionized. Most of our Canadian employees and certain employees outside of North America, primarily 
Europe, are unionized. There have been no employee work stoppages to date and we believe our relations with our employees 
and their representative organizations are fair and productive.

Regulation

A significant portion of our business activities are subject to foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations. These 
regulations are administered by various foreign, federal, state and local health and safety and environmental agencies and authorities, 
including OSHA of the U.S. Department of Labor and the EPA. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may involve 
civil and criminal liability. From time to time, we are also subject to a wide range of reporting requirements, certifications and 
compliance as prescribed by various federal and state governmental agencies that include, but are not limited to, the EPA, the 
Nuclear  Regulatory  Commission,  the  Chemical  Safety  Board,  the  Department  of  Transportation  and  the  Federal  Aviation 
Administration. Expenditures relating to such regulations are made in the normal course of our business and are neither material 
nor place us at any competitive disadvantage. We do not currently expect that compliance with such laws and regulations will 
require us to make material expenditures.

From time to time, during the operation of our environmental consulting and engineering services, the assets of which were 
sold in 1996, we handled small quantities of certain hazardous wastes or other substances generated by our customers. Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (the “Superfund Act”), the EPA is authorized 
to take administrative and judicial action to either cause parties who are responsible under the Superfund Act for cleaning up any 
unauthorized release of hazardous substances to do so, or to clean up such hazardous substances and to seek reimbursement of 
the costs thereof from the responsible parties, who are jointly and severally liable for such costs under the Superfund Act. The 
EPA may also bring suit for treble damages from responsible parties who unreasonably refuse to voluntarily participate in such a 
clean-up or funding thereof. Similarly, private parties who bear the costs of cleanup may seek to recover all or part of their costs 
from responsible parties in cost recovery or contribution actions. Responsible parties include anyone who owns or operates the 
facility where the release occurred (either currently and/or at the time such hazardous substances were disposed of), or who by 
contract arranges for disposal, treatment, transportation for disposal or treatment of a hazardous substance, or who accepts hazardous 
substances for transport to disposal or treatment facilities selected by such person from which there is a release. We believe that 
our risk of liability is minimized since our handling consisted solely of maintaining and storing small samples of materials for 
laboratory analysis that are classified as hazardous. Due to its prohibitive costs, we accordingly do not currently carry insurance 
to cover liabilities which we may incur under the Superfund Act or similar environmental statutes.

Intellectual Property

We hold various patents, trademarks, trade secrets and licenses, which have not historically been material to our consolidated 
business operations. However, Quest Integrity has significant trade secrets and intellectual property pertaining to its proprietary 
inspection  and  engineering  assessment  and  software  tools. This  subsidiary  was  acquired  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  2011  and  a 
significant amount of the purchase price was allocated to these intangible assets.

Competition

In general, competition stems from a large number of other outside service contractors. More than 100 different competitors 
are currently active in our markets. We believe we have a competitive advantage over most service contractors due to the quality, 
training and experience of our technicians, our nationwide and increasingly international service capability, the breadth and depth 
of our services, our ability to provide such services on an integrated, more turnkey basis, and our technical support and manufacturing 
capabilities supporting the service network. However, there are other competitors that may offer a similar range of coverage or 
services and include, but are not limited to, Acuren Group, Inc., Guardian Compliance, Mistras Group, Inc. and T.D. Williamson, 
Inc.

ITEM 1A. 

RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or stock price could be materially adversely affected 

by any of the risks and uncertainties described below.

The economic environment may affect our customers’ demand for our services. Future economic uncertainty may reduce 
the availability of liquidity and credit and, in many cases, reduce demand for our customers’ products. Disruption of the credit 
markets could also adversely affect our customers’ ability to finance on-going maintenance and new projects, resulting in contract 
cancellations or suspensions, and project delays. An extended or deep recession may result in plant closures or other contractions 
in our customer base. These factors may also adversely affect our ability to collect payment for work we have previously performed. 
Furthermore, our ability to expand our business could be limited if, in the future, we are unable to increase our credit capacity 
under favorable terms or at all. Such disruptions, should they occur, could materially impact our results of operations, financial 
position or cash flows.

Our revenues are heavily dependent on certain industries. Sales of our services are dependent on customers in certain 
industries, particularly the refining and petrochemical industries. As experienced in the past, and as expected to occur in the future, 
downturns characterized by diminished demand for services in these industries could have a material impact on our results of 
operations, financial position or cash flows. Certain of our customers have employees represented by unions and could be subject 
to temporary work stoppage which could impact our activity level.

We sell our services in highly competitive markets, which places pressure on our profit margins and limits our ability to 
maintain or increase the market share of our services. Our competition generally stems from other outside service contractors, 
many of whom offer a similar range of services. Future economic uncertainty could generally reduce demand for industrial services 
and thus create a more competitive bidding environment for new and existing work. No assurances can be made that we will 
continue to maintain our pricing model and our profit margins or increase our market share.

No assurances can be made that we will be successful in maintaining or renewing our contracts with our customers. A 
significant portion of our contracts and agreements with customers may be terminated by either party on short notice. Although 
we actively pursue the renewal of our contracts, we cannot assure that we will be able to renew these contracts or that the terms 
of the renewed contracts will be as favorable as the existing contracts. If we are unable to renew or replace these contracts, or if 
we renew on less favorable terms, we may suffer a material reduction in revenue and earnings.

No assurances can be made that we will be successful in hiring or retaining members of a skilled technical workforce.
We have a skilled technical workforce and an industry recognized technician training program for each of our service lines that 
prepares new employees as well as further trains our existing employees. The competition for these individuals is intense. The 
loss of the services of a number of these individuals, or failure to attract new employees, could adversely affect our ability to 
perform our obligations on our customers’ projects or maintenance and consequently could negatively impact the demand for our 
products and services.

Unsatisfactory  safety  performance  can  affect  customer  relationships,  eliminate  or  reduce  revenue  streams  from  our 
largest customers, result in higher operating costs and negatively impact our ability to hire and retain a skilled technical 
workforce. Our workers are subject to the normal hazards associated with providing services at industrial facilities. Even with 
proper safety precautions, these hazards can lead to personal injury, loss of life, destruction of property, plant and equipment, 
lower employee morale and environmental damage. While we are intensely focused on maintaining a strong safety environment 
and reducing the risk of accidents to the lowest possible level, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be effective. Poor 
safety performance may limit or eliminate potential revenue streams our customers, including from many of our largest customers, 
and may materially increase our operating costs, including increasing our required insurance deductibles, self-insured retention 
and insurance premium costs.

The Company’s insurance coverage will not fully indemnify us against certain claims or losses. Further, the Company’s 
insurance has limits and exclusions and not all losses or claims are insured. We perform services in hazardous environments 
on or around high-pressure, high temperature systems and our employees are exposed to a number of hazards, including exposure 
to hazardous materials, explosion hazards and fire hazards. Incidents that occur at these large industrial facilities or systems, 
regardless of fault, may be catastrophic and adversely impact our employees and third parties by causing serious personal injury, 
loss of life, damage to property or the environment, and interruption of operations. Our contracts typically require us to indemnify 
our customers for injury, damage or loss arising out of our presence at our customers’ location, regardless of fault, or the performance 
of our services and provide for warranties for materials and workmanship. We may also be required to name the customer as an 
additional insured under our insurance policies. We maintain limited insurance coverage against these and other risks associated 
with our business. Due to the high cost of general liability coverage, we maintain insurance with a self-insured retention of $3.0 

8

Table of Contents

million per occurrence. This insurance may not protect us against liability for certain events, including events involving pollution, 
product or professional liability, losses resulting from business interruption or acts of terrorism or damages from breach of contract 
by the Company. We cannot assure you that our insurance will be adequate in risk coverage or policy limits to cover all losses or 
liabilities that we may incur. Moreover, in the future, we cannot assure that we will be able to maintain insurance at levels of risk 
coverage or policy limits that we deem adequate. Any future damages caused by our products or services that are not covered by 
insurance or are in excess of policy limits could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or 
cash flows.

We are subject to risks associated with indebtedness under our banking credit facility, including the risk of failure to 
maintain compliance with financial covenants, the risk of being unable to make interest and principal payments when due and 
the risk of rising interest rates. Our banking credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which matures in July 2020, contains financial 
covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of December 31, 2017, we were required to maintain (i) 
a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit 
Facility agreement) of not more than 4.25 to 1.00 and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Interest 
Coverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement). As of December 31, 2017, we are in compliance with these covenants. 
The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 3.53 to 1.00 and 3.03 to 1.00, respectively, as of 
December 31, 2017.

We entered into the seventh amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Seventh Amendment”) on March 8, 2018 to modify 
certain of the financial covenants. The Seventh Amendment eliminated the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility 
agreement) covenant through the remainder of the term of the Credit Facility and also modified both the Senior Secured Leverage 
Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio as follows. First, the Company is required to maintain a maximum Senior Secured Leverage 
Ratio of not more 4.25 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, not more than 3.50 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and 
each quarter thereafter through June 30, 2019 and not more than 2.75 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019 and each quarter thereafter. 
With respect to the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of not less than 2.25 to 1.00 as of March 
31, 2018 and each quarter thereafter through December 31, 2018 and not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019 and each 
quarter thereafter.

 Our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants is dependent upon our future operating performance and 
future financial condition, both of which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that 
we will be able to maintain compliance with the Credit Facility covenants as of any future date. In the event we are unable maintain 
compliance with our financial covenants, we would seek to enter into an amendment to the Credit Facility with our bank group 
in order to modify and/or to provide relief from the financial covenants for an additional period of time. Although we have entered 
into amendments in the past, there can be no assurance that any future amendments would be available on terms acceptable to us, 
if at all. 

We rely primarily on cash flows from our operations to make required interest and principal payments on our debt under 
the Credit Facility. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations, we may be unable to pay interest and 
principal obligations on our debt when they become due. Failure to comply with these obligations or failure to comply with the 
financial covenants discussed above could result in an event of default, which would permit our lenders to accelerate the repayment 
of the debt. If our lenders accelerate the repayment of debt, there is no assurance that we could refinance such debt on terms 
favorable to us or at all.

All of the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility bears interest at variable market rates. If market interest rates increase, 
our interest expense and cash flows could be adversely impacted. Based on Credit Facility borrowings outstanding at December 
31, 2017, an increase in market interest rates of 100 basis points would increase our interest expense and decrease our operating 
cash flows by approximately $2 million on an annual basis.

Our Credit Facility restricts our ability to, among other items, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions 
and dispositions and alter the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries. These restrictions could adversely affect 
our ability to operate our businesses and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise.

The accounting method for our convertible debt securities may have a material effect on our reported financial results. 
On July 31, 2017 we issued $230.0 million principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) in a 
private offering. Accordingly, the issuance of the Notes and the subsequent accounting associated with the Notes has been reflected 
in our consolidated financial statements beginning in the third quarter of 2017.

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt with 
Conversion and Other Options, (“ASC 470-20”), an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of the 
9

Table of Contents

convertible debt instruments (such as the Notes) that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that 
reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for the Notes is that the equity component 
is included in the additional paid-in capital section of equity on our consolidated balance sheet, and the value of the equity component 
is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the Notes. As a result, we are recording 
a greater amount of non-cash interest expense as a result of the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the Notes to their 
face amount over the term of the Notes. We will report lower net income (or greater net loss) in our financial results because ASC 
470-20 requires interest to include both the current period’s amortization of the debt discount and the instrument’s coupon interest, 
which could adversely affect our reported or future financial results, the market price of our common stock and the trading price 
of the Notes.

Also, because the Notes could be convertible in full into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock, we 
have agreed to seek the approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock at our next annual stockholders’ meeting 
for the issuance of more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock upon conversion of the Notes. Unless and until we 
receive stockholder approval, holders may only surrender their Notes for conversion for cash or a combination of cash and common 
stock upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Accordingly, these circumstances could require us to cash-settle a portion of the 
conversion feature of the Notes. Because of this cash settlement requirement, we have recorded an embedded derivative liability 
for the conversion feature for approximately 60% of the Notes pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in 
fair value of the embedded derivative liability reflected in our results of operations each period. Gains and/or losses on the embedded 
derivative liability will continue to impact our results of operations unless and until we receive stockholder approval. The valuation 
of such derivative liability is highly sensitive to changes in the price of our common stock. Generally, decreases in our stock price 
will result in gains, while increases in our stock price will result in losses. As such, movement in our stock price could materially 
and adversely affect our financial results, including our net income (loss) as well as increase the volatility of our financial results 
from period to period. 

In addition, convertible debt instruments (such as the Notes) that may be settled entirely or partly in cash are currently 
accounted for utilizing the treasury stock method if we have the ability and intent to settle in cash, the effect of which is that the 
shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share except to the extent 
that the conversion value of the Notes exceeds their principal amount. Under the treasury stock method, for diluted earnings per 
share purposes, the transaction is accounted for as if the number of shares of common stock that would be necessary to settle such 
excess, if we elected to settle such excess in shares, are issued. We cannot be sure that we will be able to demonstrate the ability 
or intent to settle the Notes in cash in any future reporting period or that future accounting standards will continue to permit the 
use of the treasury stock method. If we are unable to use the treasury stock method in accounting for the shares of common stock 
issuable upon conversion of the Notes, then we would utilize the if-converted method, which would require us to assume the Notes 
would be settled entirely in shares of common stock for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. In such case, our diluted 
earnings per share would be adversely affected.

Transactions relating to our convertible debt securities may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders, or may 
otherwise depress the price of our common stock. The Notes are initially convertible into 10,599,067 shares of common stock, 
but  the  occurrence  of  certain  corporate  events  could  increase  the  conversion  rate,  which  could  result  in  the  Notes  becoming 
convertible into a maximum of 14,838,703 shares of common stock. Upon conversion, the Company may settle the Notes in cash 
or in shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, in each case, at the Company’s election, 
subject to certain limitations prior to the receipt of the shareholder approval described above. If the Notes are converted, our intent 
is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash and settle the remainder of our conversion obligation by issuing shares of 
common stock; however, we cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient funds available to us at the time of any such conversions 
in order effect settlement in that manner. In such case, we could elect to settle the conversion obligation in a different combination 
of cash and shares of common stock or entirely in shares of common stock, depending on the circumstances. To the extent we 
deliver shares of common stock upon conversion of the Notes, the ownership interests of existing stockholders would be diluted. 
Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices 
of our common stock. 

Additional impairments of our goodwill, impairments of our intangible and other long-lived assets, and changes in the 
estimated useful lives of intangible assets could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial 
condition. As a result of past acquisitions, goodwill and other intangible assets comprise a substantial portion of our total assets. 
As of December 31, 2017, our goodwill and intangible assets totaled $284.8 million and $160.2 million, respectively. We assess 
or  test  goodwill  for  impairment  at  least  annually  in  accordance  with  Generally Accepted Accounting  Principles  in  the  U.S. 
(“GAAP”),  while  our  other  long-lived  assets,  including  our  finite-lived  intangible  assets,  are  tested  for  impairment  when 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A decrease in our market capitalization or profitability 
or unfavorable changes in market, economic and industry conditions all would increase the risk of impairment. In the second and 
third  quarters  of  2017,  we  determined  that  there  were  sufficient  indicators  to  trigger  interim  goodwill  impairment  tests. The 
10

Table of Contents

indicators included, among other factors, the continued market softness and the related impacts on our financial results and our 
stock price. While the second quarter 2017 test indicated no impairment, our third quarter 2017 test resulted in an impairment loss 
of $75.2 million. Our 2017 annual goodwill impairment test, which was completed as of December 1, 2017, did not result in any 
additional impairment. However, given the recent weak and uncertain macro environment in the industries in which we operate, 
there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the Company’s most recent goodwill impairment 
test will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Accordingly, we may be required to recognize additional impairment charges 
in future reporting periods, which could materially and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. 

GAAP requires that we evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets subject to amortization each reporting period. If 
the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is 
amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. To the extent the revised useful life of an intangible asset is less 
than originally estimated, our future amortization expense will increase, which could have a material impact on our results of 
operations and financial condition. With respect to our intangible asset associated with the Furmanite trade name, management 
has recently determined that, as a result of initiatives to consolidate the Company’s branding, the useful life of this intangible asset 
is not expected to extend beyond December 31, 2018. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, we will 
account for the change in useful life prospectively and amortize the remaining balance during 2018. We expect to recognize 
additional amortization expense of approximately $12 million in 2018, compared to 2017, as a result of this change in estimate.

Improvements in operating results from expected savings in operating costs from our reduction in workforce and other 
cost saving and business improvement initiatives may not be realized in the estimated amounts, may take longer to be realized, 
or  could  be  realized  only  for  a  limited  period.  In  order  to  address  the  reduction  in  revenues  and  operating  income  we  have 
experienced during 2016 and 2017, beginning in July 2017 we took actions to reduce our workforce by eliminating certain employee 
positions and implementing other cost saving initiatives. Based upon estimates from our current planning model for these reductions, 
we believe that the actions we have taken have reduced our annual operating expenses by approximately $30 million, with the 
impact to operating results of those reduction synergies having begun in the third quarter of 2017. This cost savings initiative is 
largely complete. Later in 2017, the Company began a separate project to identify additional cost savings and business improvement 
opportunities, with implementation planned beginning in 2018. However, in order to implement this or any other future cost savings 
or business improvement initiatives, we expect to incur additional expenses, which could adversely impact our financial results 
prior to the realization of the expected benefits associated with the initiatives. Due to numerous factors or future developments, 
we may not achieve cost reductions or other business improvements consistent with our expectations or the benefits may be 
delayed. These factors or future developments could include (i) the incurrence of higher than expected costs or delays in reassigning 
and retraining remaining employees or outsourcing or eliminating duties and functions of eliminated employees, (ii) unanticipated 
delays in discharging employees in eliminated positions as a result of regulatory or legal limitations on employee terminations in 
certain jurisdictions, (iii) actual savings differing from anticipated cost savings, (iv) anticipated benefits from business improvement 
initiatives  not  materializing  and  (v)  disruptions  to  normal  operations  or  other  unintended  adverse  impacts  resulting  from  the 
initiatives.

 We may also decide to reduce, suspend or terminate our workforce reduction plans and other cost saving and business 
improvement initiatives at any time before achieving the estimated benefits or after a limited period of time. The elimination of 
current employees can also result in increased future costs in hiring, training and mobilizing new employees or rehires in the event 
of a future increase in demand for our services resulting in a slower recovery of results from operations. Our initiatives may 
negatively affect our ability to retain and attract qualified personnel, who may experience uncertainty about their future roles with 
the Company. 

Fluctuations in our effective tax rate and our tax obligations could adversely affect our financial results. We are subject 
to taxes in the U.S. and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide income 
tax provision, tax assets and accruals for other taxes, and there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax 
determination is uncertain. Our effective income tax rate could be adversely affected by our profit levels, changes in our business, 
reorganization of our business and operating structure, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax 
rates, changes in the elections we make, changes in applicable tax laws or interpretations of existing tax laws or changes in the 
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, as well as other factors.  

We are also currently subject to audit in various jurisdictions, and these jurisdictions may assess additional income tax 
liabilities against us. Developments in an audit, litigation, or the relevant laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, 
and interpretations could have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows in the period or periods for which that 
development occurs, as well as for prior and subsequent periods. 

Uncertainties in the interpretation and application of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Public Law No. 115-97) could 
materially affect our tax obligations and effective tax rate. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was enacted 
11

Table of Contents

on December 22, 2017 and represents a significant change to the U.S. federal tax code. This tax legislation lowers the U.S. statutory 
tax rate, but also includes a number of provisions that could significantly and adversely impact our U.S. federal income tax position 
in future reporting periods, including the limitation of interest expense deduction and the elimination of certain other deductions 
or credits, and ongoing tax requirements related to certain foreign earnings. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexities 
involved in applying the provisions of the new tax law, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional 
amounts in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. The U.S. Treasury Department, 
the IRS, and others could interpret or issue new guidance on how provisions of the 2017 Tax Act will be applied or otherwise 
administered that is different from our interpretation. As we complete our analysis of the 2017 Tax Act, collect and prepare necessary 
data and interpret any additional guidance, we may make adjustments to provisional amounts that we have recorded that may 
materially impact our provision for income taxes in the period in which the adjustments are made. 

The  Company’s  operations  and  information  systems,  including  its  employee  and  financial  records,  are  subject  to 
cybersecurity risks. Team continues to increase its dependence on digital technologies to conduct its operations. Many of the 
Company’s files, including employee and financial records, are digitized and more employees are working in almost paperless 
and  remote  environments.  We  have  also  outsourced  certain  information  technology  development,  maintenance  and  support 
functions. As a result, the Company may be exposed to potentially severe cyber incidents at both its internal locations and outside 
vendor locations that could result in a theft of sensitive data and/or intellectual property, alteration or deletion of critical data and/
or disruption of its operations for an extended period of time. This could also result in claims, losses, fines and higher costs to 
correct and remedy the effects of such incidents, although no such material incidents have occurred to date to the Company’s 
knowledge.

Our operations and properties are subject to extensive governmental regulation under environmental laws. Environmental 
laws and regulations can impose substantial sanctions for violations or operational changes that may limit our services. We must 
conform our operations to applicable regulatory requirements and adapt to changes in such requirements in all locations in which 
we operate. These actions may increase the overall costs of providing our services. Some of our services involve handling or 
monitoring highly regulated materials, including VOCs or hazardous wastes. Environmental laws and regulations generally impose 
limitations and standards for regulated materials and require us to obtain permits and comply with various other requirements. 
The improper characterization, handling, disposal or monitoring of regulated materials or any other failure by us to comply with 
increasingly complex and strictly enforced federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations or associated environmental 
permits could subject us to the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory or remedial 
obligations, or the issuance of injunctions that could restrict or prevent our ability to operate our business and complete contracted 
services. A defect in our services or faulty workmanship could result in an environmental liability if, as a result of the defect or 
faulty workmanship, a contaminant is released into the environment.

We are involved and are likely to continue to be involved in legal proceedings, which will increase our costs and, if 
adversely determined, could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We are currently 
a defendant in legal proceedings arising from the operation of our business and it is reasonable to expect that we will be named 
in future actions. Most of the legal proceedings against us arise out of the normal course of performing services at customer 
facilities, and include claims for workers’ compensation, personal injury and property damage. Legal proceedings can be expensive 
to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the ultimate 
outcome. An unsuccessful defense of a liability claim could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial 
position or cash flows.

Economic, political and other risks associated with international operations could adversely affect our business. A portion 
of our operations are conducted and located outside the U.S., and accordingly, our business is subject to risks associated with 
doing business internationally, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, instability in political or economic conditions, 
difficulty in repatriating cash proceeds, differing employee relations, differing regulatory environments, trade protection measures, 
and difficulty in administering and enforcing corporate policies which may be different than the normal business practices of local 
cultures. In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common to engage in business practices 
that are prohibited by U.S. and foreign anti-corruption regulations applicable to us such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 
and the United Kingdom Bribery Act. Our international business operations may include projects in countries where corruption 
is prevalent. Although we have, and continue to, implement policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these 
laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors or agents, including those representing us in countries where 
practices which violate such anti-corruption laws may be customary, will not take actions in violation of our policies and procedures. 
Any violation of foreign or U.S. laws by our employees, contractors or agents, even if such violation is prohibited by our policies 
and procedures, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Our growth strategy entails risk for investors. We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions in, or complementary to, the 
specialty maintenance and construction services industry to complement and diversify our existing business. We may not be able 
12

Table of Contents

to continue to expand our market presence through acquisitions, and any future acquisitions may present unforeseen integration 
difficulties or costs. From time to time, we make acquisitions of other businesses that enhance our services or geographic scope. 
No assurances can be made that we will realize the cost savings, synergies or revenue enhancements that we may anticipate from 
any acquisition, or that we will realize such benefits within the time frame that we expect. If we are not able to address the challenges 
associated with acquisitions and successfully integrate acquired businesses, or if our integrated product and service offerings fail 
to achieve market acceptance, our business could be adversely affected. The consideration paid in connection with an acquisition 
may also affect our share price or future financial results depending on the structure of such consideration. To the extent we issue 
stock or other rights to purchase stock, including options or other rights, existing shareholders may be diluted and earnings per 
share may decrease. In addition, acquisitions may result in the incurrence of additional debt.

The price of our outstanding securities may be volatile. It is possible that in some future quarter (or quarters) our revenues, 
operating results or other measures of financial performance will not meet the expectations of public stock market analysts or 
investors, which could cause the price of our outstanding securities to decline or be volatile. Historically, our quarterly and annual 
sales and operating results have fluctuated. We expect fluctuations to continue in the future. In addition to general economic and 
political conditions, the following factors may affect our sales and operating results: the timing of significant customer orders, the 
timing of planned maintenance projects at customer facilities, changes in competitive pricing, wide variations in profitability by 
product line, variations in operating expenses, rapid increases in raw material and labor costs, the timing of announcements or 
introductions of new products or services by us, our competitors or our respective customers, the acceptance of those services, 
our ability to adequately meet staffing requirements with qualified personnel, relative variations in manufacturing efficiencies and 
costs, and the relative strength or weakness of international markets. Since our quarterly and annual revenues and operating results 
vary, we believe that period-to-period comparisons are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of 
our future performance.

Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages, staffing shortages and other labor matters. At December 31, 
2017, we had approximately 7,300 employees, approximately 1,700 of whom were located in Canada and Europe where employees 
predominantly are represented by unions. Although we believe that our relations with our employees are good and we have had 
no strikes or work stoppages, no assurances can be made that we will not experience these and other types of conflicts with labor 
unions, works councils, other groups representing employees, or our employees in general, or that any future negotiations with 
our labor unions will not result in significant increases in the cost of labor.

Our operations and properties are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety regulations. We are subject to a 
variety of U.S. federal, state, local and international laws and regulations relating to the environment, and worker health and safety. 
These laws and regulations are complex, change frequently, are becoming increasingly stringent, and can impose substantial 
sanctions for violations or require operational changes that may limit our services. We must conform our operations to comply 
with applicable regulatory requirements and adapt to changes in such requirements in all locations in which we operate. These 
requirements can be expected to increase the overall costs of providing our services over time. Some of our services involve 
handling or monitoring highly regulated materials, including VOCs or hazardous wastes. Environmental laws and regulations 
generally impose limitations and standards for the characterization, handling and disposal of regulated materials and require us 
to obtain permits and comply with various other requirements. The improper characterization, handling, or disposal of regulated 
materials or any other failure by us to comply with increasingly complex and strictly-enforced federal, state, local, and international 
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or associated permits could subject us to the assessment of administrative, 
civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory or remedial obligations, or the issuance of injunctions that could restrict 
or prevent our ability to operate our business and complete contracted services. A defect in our services or faulty workmanship 
could result in an environmental liability if, as a result of the defect or faulty workmanship, a contaminant is released into the 
environment. In addition, the modification or interpretation of existing environmental, health and safety laws or regulations, the 
more vigorous enforcement of existing laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulations may also negatively impact 
industries in which our customers operate, which in turn could have a negative impact on us.

Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” could result in reduced demand 
for our services and products. There has been an increased focus in the last several years on climate change in response to findings 
that  emissions  of  carbon  dioxide,  methane  and  other  greenhouse  gases  present  an  endangerment  to  public  health  and  the 
environment. As a result, there have been a variety of regulatory developments, proposals or requirements and legislative initiatives 
that have been introduced in the U.S. (and other parts of the world) that are focused on restricting the emission of greenhouse 
gases. The adoption of new or more stringent legislation or regulatory programs limiting greenhouse gas emissions from customers 
for whom we provide repair and maintenance services could affect demand for our products and services. Further, some scientists 
have concluded that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere may produce physical effects, such as increased 
severity and frequency of storms, droughts, floods and other climate events. Such climate events have the potential to adversely 
affect our operations or those of our customers, which in turn could have a negative effect on us.

13

Table of Contents

Interruptions in the proper functioning of our information systems could disrupt operations and cause increases in costs 
and/or decreases in revenues. The proper functioning of our information systems is critical to the successful operation of our 
business. Although our information systems are protected through physical and software safeguards, our information systems are 
still vulnerable to natural disasters, power losses, telecommunication failures and other problems. If critical information systems 
fail or are otherwise unavailable, our business operations could be adversely affected.

Regulations related to conflict-free minerals may cause us to incur additional expenses. The SEC has established annual 
disclosure and reporting requirements for those companies who use “conflict” minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic 
of Congo and adjoining countries in their products. These requirements could limit the pool of suppliers who can provide conflict-
free minerals and as a result, we cannot ensure that we will be able to obtain these minerals at competitive prices. Compliance 
with these new requirements may also increase our costs. In addition, we may face challenges with our customers if we are unable 
to sufficiently verify the origins of the minerals used in our products.

Other risk factors. Other risk factors may include interruption of our operations, or the operations of our customers due to 
fire, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, labor disruptions, health epidemics 
and other events beyond our control.

Any of these factors, individually or in combination, could materially and adversely affect our future results of operations, 
financial position, cash flows and/or stock price and could also affect whether any forward-looking statements in this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K ultimately prove to be accurate.

PROPERTIES

There are several materially important physical properties used in our operations. Our 120,000 square foot facility in Alvin, 
Texas  consists  of  our  primary  training  facility,  equipment  center  and  ISO-9001  certified  manufacturing  facility  for  clamps, 
enclosures,  and  sealants.  Additionally,  we  own  a  39,000  square  foot  manufacturing  facility  in  Houston,  Texas.  We  lease 
approximately 60,000 square feet of office space utilized as our corporate headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas. The following is a 
list of owned and leased branch service locations considered materially important physical properties:

(cid:149)  Beaumont, Texas

We believe that our property and equipment are adequate for our current needs, although additional investments are expected 
to be made for expansion of property and equipment, replacement of assets at the end of their useful lives will occur in connection 
with corporate development activities.

ITEM 3. 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Con Ed Matter. We have, from time to time, provided temporary leak repair services to the steam system of Consolidated 
Edison Company of New York (“Con Ed”) located in New York City. In July 2007, a Con Ed steam main located in midtown 
Manhattan ruptured resulting in one death and other injuries and property damage. As of December 31, 2017, sixty-eight lawsuits 
are currently pending against Con Ed, the City of New York and Team in the Supreme Courts of New York, alleging that our 
temporary leak repair services may have contributed to the cause of the rupture, allegations which we dispute. The lawsuits seek 

14

Table of Contents

generally unspecified compensatory damages for personal injury, property damage and business interruption. Additionally, Con 
Ed is alleging that our contract with Con Ed requires us to fully indemnify and defend Con Ed for all claims asserted against Con 
Ed including those amounts that Con Ed has paid to settle with certain plaintiffs for undisclosed sums as well as Con Ed’s own 
alleged damages to its infrastructure. Con Ed filed an action to join Team and the City of New York as defendants in all lawsuits 
filed against Con Ed that did not include Team and the City of New York as direct defendants. We are vigorously defending the 
lawsuits and Con Ed’s claim for indemnification. We are unable to estimate the amount of liability to us, if any, associated with 
these lawsuits and the claim for indemnification. We filed a motion to dismiss in April 2016. We maintain insurance coverage, 
subject to a deductible limit of $250,000, which we believe should cover these claims. We have not accrued any liability in excess 
of the deductible limit for the lawsuits. We do not believe the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect 
on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Patent Infringement Matters. In December 2014, our subsidiary, Quest Integrity, filed three patent infringement lawsuits 
against three different defendants, two in the U.S. District of Delaware and one in the U.S. District of Western Washington. Quest 
Integrity alleges that the three defendants infringed Quest Integrity’s patent, entitled “2D and 3D Display System and Method for 
Furnace Tube  Inspection”. This  Quest  Integrity  patent  generally  teaches  a  system  and  method  for  displaying  inspection  data 
collected during the inspection of furnace tubes in petroleum and petro-chemical refineries. The subject patent litigation is specific 
to the visual display of the collected data and does not relate to Quest Integrity’s underlying advanced inspection technology. In 
these lawsuits Quest Integrity is seeking temporary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Defendants 
have denied they infringe any valid claim of Quest Integrity’s patent, and have asserted declaratory judgment counterclaims that 
the patent at issue is invalid and/or unenforceable, and not infringed. In June 2015, the U.S. District of Delaware denied our 
motions for preliminary injunctive relief in the Delaware Cases (that is, our request that the defendants stop using our patented 
systems and methods during the pendency of the actions). In March 2017, the judge in the Delaware Cases granted summary 
judgment against Quest Integrity, finding certain patent claims of the asserted patent invalid. In August 2017, the judge in the 
Washington Case granted summary judgment against Quest Integrity based on the Delaware Cases ruling. Quest Integrity is in 
the process of appealing both Delaware Cases and the Washington Case.

We are involved in various other lawsuits and are subject to various claims and proceedings encountered in the normal 
conduct of business. In our opinion, any uninsured losses that might arise from these lawsuits and proceedings will not have a 
materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9. 

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND 
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There have been no disagreements concerning accounting and financial disclosures with our independent accountants during 

any of the periods presented.

ITEM 9A. 

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Limitations on effectiveness of control. Our management, including the principal executive and financial officer, does not 
expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors 
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance 
that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of our control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints 
and the benefits of such controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control 
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control failures and instances of fraud, if any, have been 
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can 
occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts, by collusion of two 
or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain 
assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated 
goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of management’s assessments of the current effectiveness of our disclosure 
controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting are subject to risks. However, our disclosure controls and 
procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our control system are met.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was 
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) 
and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures 
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)). This 
evaluation included consideration of the various processes carried out under the direction of our disclosure committee in an effort 
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the 
time periods specified by the SEC. This evaluation also considered the work completed related to our compliance with Section 404 
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures 
were operating effectively to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, 
summarized  and  reported  within  the  requisite  time  periods  and  that  such  information  is  appropriately  accumulated  and 
communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined 
in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes 
in accordance with GAAP.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial objectives because of its 
inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is 
subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be 
circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements 
may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations 
are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, 
though not eliminate, this risk.

We have used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting. We have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017.

Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm. The attestation report of KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent 
registered public accounting firm, on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is set forth in this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K on page 44.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely 
to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 
2017.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following review of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with Item 1 “Business,” 
Item 1A “Risk Factors,” Item 2 “Properties,” and Item 8 “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” included 
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF
SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This  report  includes  forward-looking  statements  within  the  meaning  of  Section 27A  of  the  Securities Act  of  1933  and 
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking 
statements may be made by us or on behalf of the Company in other materials we release to the public including all statements, 
other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that address 
activities, events or developments which we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future. You can generally identify our 
forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “projection,” 
“predict,” “budget,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “target,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “may” and similar expressions.

We based our forward-looking statements on our reasonable beliefs and assumptions, and our current expectations, estimates 
and projections about ourselves and our industry. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and 
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we based many of these forward-looking statements 
on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. We wish to ensure that such statements are accompanied by 
meaningful cautionary statements, so as to obtain the protections of the safe harbor established in the Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor 
can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may 
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking 
statements cannot be relied upon as a guarantee of future results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause 
actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statements, including, but not limited to the statements under “Risk 
Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, 
future events or otherwise.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is provided as a supplement 
to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, 
changes in financial condition, and results of operations.

General Information

We are a leading provider of standard to specialty industrial services, including inspection, engineering assessment and 
mechanical repair and remediation required in maintaining high temperature and high pressure piping systems and vessels that 
are utilized extensively in the refining, petrochemical, power, pipeline and other heavy industries. We conduct operations in three 
segments: TeamQualspec, TeamFurmanite and Quest Integrity. Through the capabilities and resources in these three segments, 
we believe that Team is uniquely qualified to provide integrated solutions involving in their most basic form, inspection to assess 
condition, engineering assessment to determine fitness for purpose in the context of industry standards and regulatory codes and 
mechanical services to repair, rerate or replace based upon the client’s election. In addition, our Company is capable of escalating 
with the client’s needs-as dictated by the severity of the damage found and the related operating conditions-from standard services 
to some of the most advanced services and integrated integrity management and asset reliability solutions available in the industry.  
We also believe that Team is unique in its ability to provide services in three distinct client demand profiles: (i) turnaround or 
project services, (ii) call-out services and (iii) nested or run-and-maintain services. 

TeamQualspec provides standard and advanced NDT services for the process, pipeline and power sectors, pipeline integrity 
management services, field heat treating services, as well as associated engineering and assessment services. These services can 
be offered while facilities are running (on-stream), during facility turnarounds or during new construction or expansion activities.

TeamFurmanite, our mechanical services segment, provides primarily call-out and turnaround services under both on-stream 
and off-line/shut down circumstances. Turnaround services are project-related and demand is a function of the number and scope 
of scheduled and unscheduled facility turnarounds as well as new industrial facility construction or expansion activities. The 
turnaround and call-out services TeamFurmanite provides include field machining, technical bolting, field valve repair, and isolation 

26

Table of Contents

test plugging services. On-stream services offered by TeamFurmanite represent the services offered while plants are operating and 
under pressure. These services include leak repair, fugitive emissions control and hot tapping.

Quest Integrity provides integrity and reliability management solutions for the process, pipeline and power sectors. These 
solutions encompass two broadly-defined disciplines: (1) highly specialized in-line inspection services for unpiggable process 
piping and pipelines using proprietary in-line inspection tools and analytical software; and (2) advanced condition assessment 
services through a multi-disciplined engineering team. 

We offer these services globally through over 220 locations in 20 countries throughout the world with more than 7,300 
employees. We market our services to companies in a diverse array of heavy industries which include the petrochemical, refining, 
power, pipeline, steel, pulp and paper industries, as well as municipalities, shipbuilding, OEMs, distributors, and some of the 
world’s largest engineering and construction firms. 

As previously announced, in September 2017, Ted W. Owen stepped down as CEO and Gary G. Yesavage, a member of the 
Board, was appointed as Team’s Interim CEO to serve until a permanent CEO was hired. Effective January 24, 2018, the Board 
named Amerino Gatti as CEO and a member of the Board.

Results of Operations

In November 2015, we announced we would change our fiscal year end to December 31 of each calendar year from May 
31. In connection with this change, we previously filed a Transition Report on Form 10-K to report the results of the seven-month 
transition period from June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. In this report, the periods presented are the years ended December 31, 
2017 and 2016, the seven-month transition period from June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 and the year ended May 31, 2015. 
For comparison purposes, we have also included unaudited data for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the seven months 
ended December 31, 2014, which can be found in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2016

The following table sets forth the components of revenue and operating income (loss) from our operations for years ended

Revenues. Total revenues grew $3.5 million or 0.3% from the same period in the prior year. Excluding the favorable impact 
of $4.2 million due to foreign currency exchange rates, total revenues decreased by $0.7 million, TeamQualspec revenues decreased 
by $3.7 million, TeamFurmanite revenues decreased by $10.4 million, and Quest Integrity revenues increased by $13.4 million. 
The decreases in TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite revenues were partially attributable to hurricane-related impacts in 2017,

including customer project deferrals and lost billable hours that we estimate reduced revenues by approximately $7 million and 
$6  million,  respectively,  for  these  segments.  Within  TeamQualspec,  these  hurricane-related  impacts  were  partially  offset  by  
approximately $3.1 million of revenue attributable to acquisitions completed in the prior year. Within TeamFurmanite, in addition 
to the hurricane-related impacts, the revenue decline is also attributable to the effects of ongoing market softness that began in the 
second half 2015 and continued through 2017, as we experienced a continuation of the weak and uncertain macro environment 
in the industries in which we operate, with activity levels remaining below historical levels. These decreases were partially offset 
by increases associated with a full-year effect of the acquisition of Furmanite in 2017, compared to ten months of activity from 
Furmanite in 2016. On a pro forma basis, assuming Furmanite had been acquired prior to January 1, 2016, TeamFurmanite revenues 
declined by $53.4 million, or 9.2%, in 2017 compared to 2016, reflecting the ongoing market softness. The increase in revenues 
for Quest Integrity reflects overall higher volumes across inspection and assessment services reflecting increased demand and the 
impact of an acquisition in the prior year that contributed approximately $1.7 million of revenue, partially offset by hurricane-
related project deferrals estimated at approximately $1 million. 

Operating income (loss). Overall operating loss was $115.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million in the 
prior year. The increase in the operating loss is primarily attributable to the TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec segments, which 
experienced decreased operating income of $61.3 million and $32.2 million, respectively, as well as an increase in corporate and 
shared support services expenses of $26.0 million compared to the prior year. Partially offsetting these impacts, the Quest Integrity 
segment experienced higher operating income of $7.6 million. The sharp decline in operating income for the TeamFurmanite and 
TeamQualspec segments is largely attributable to goodwill impairment losses in the current year of $54.1 million and $21.1 million, 
respectively, in these segments, These impairment losses were a result of our interim goodwill impairment test completed in the 
third quarter of 2017, which was triggered by the existence of impairment indicators, including the continued market softness and 
the related impacts on our financial results and our stock price. The results of the impairment test indicated that the carrying values 
of our TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec operating segments exceeded their estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of 
these segments have been adversely impacted by the declines in operating results and the related significant decrease in our share 
price experienced during 2017, particularly the decrease experienced during the third quarter. Although there was no additional 
impairment  following  our  fourth  quarter  annual  impairment  test,  it  is  possible  that  we  could  experience  additional  goodwill 
impairment losses in future periods.

In addition to the $75.2 million in goodwill impairment losses, the current year includes net expenses totaling $32.5 million 
that we do not believe are indicative of the Company’s core operating activities, while the same period in the prior year included 
$34.6 million of such items, as detailed by segment in the table below (in thousands):

Associated with the executive leadership change discussed above
Primarily incremental costs incurred associated with hurricane-related impacts in 2017 and severe flooding in Louisiana in 2016
Consists primarily of professional fees for assessment of corporate and support cost structures, acquired business integration, intellectual property legal defense costs associated 
with Quest Integrity and non-cash compensation cost associated with acceleration of vesting of awards
Primarily associated with the acquisition of Furmanite in 2016

Excluding the impact of these identified items in both periods, operating loss changed unfavorably by $38.9 million, consisting 
of decreased operating income in TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite of $9.7 million and $14.9 million, respectively, and an 
increase in corporate and shared support services expenses of $19.2 million, partially offset by increased operating income in the 
Quest Integrity segment of $4.9 million. The overall decline in operating income was partially offset by the initial benefits realized 
from our company-wide cost savings initiative, which commenced in July 2017. The reduced operating income this year for 
TeamQualspec is primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in the mix of work, including more nested/resident work which 
traditionally  carries  a  lower  margin,  as  well  as  higher  labor  costs  and  the  effect  of  the  hurricane-related  impacts.  Within 
TeamFurmanite, the lower operating income is primarily attributable to the effects of market softness in 2017 and the hurricane-
related impacts described above. The higher operating income in the Quest Integrity segment is primarily attributable to higher 
volumes across inspection and assessment services, reflecting improvements in market conditions. The higher expenses in corporate 
and shared support services is due in part to the commencement of depreciation and amortization expense on our new Enterprise 
Resource Planning (“ERP”) system that was placed into service in the first quarter of 2017 as well as related ongoing operating 
costs. Additionally, the increase consists of higher rent expense, increases in certain professional fees and the absorption of certain 
of Furmanite’s corporate costs. 

Write-off of deferred loan costs. The write-off of deferred loan costs of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 
was associated with the extinguishment of the term-loan portion of the Company’s Credit Facility as well as a reduction in capacity 
of the revolving portion of the Credit Facility in July 2017.

Gain on convertible debt embedded derivative. Because we could be required to cash-settle a portion of the conversion 
feature of the Notes, we recognize an embedded derivative liability for the conversion feature for approximately 60% of the Notes 
pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative liability reflected in our 
results of operations each period. Gains and/or losses on the embedded derivative liability will continue to impact our results of 
operations unless and until we receive stockholder approval for the issuance of more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common 

29

Table of Contents

stock upon conversion of the Notes. The valuation of such derivative liability is highly sensitive to changes in the price of our 
common stock. Generally, decreases in our stock price will result in gains, while increases in our stock price will result in losses. 
The Company recorded a gain on this embedded derivative of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $12.7 million in the prior year to $21.5 million in the current year. The 
increase is primarily due to higher interest rates on our Credit Facility borrowings compared to the same period in the prior year, 
as well as the effect of using the proceeds from the Notes offering to repay a portion of the Credit Facility borrowings. The Notes 
bear a higher effective interest rate than our Credit Facility borrowings and therefore also contributed to the increase in interest 
expense. 

Foreign currency gain (loss) and other. Non-operating results include foreign currency transaction losses of $0.5 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to foreign currency transaction gains of $0.1 million in the same period last year. 
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in both periods reflect the effects of fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar relative to the 
currencies to which we have exposure, including but not limited to, the Brazilian Real, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro, 
Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Kroner, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso and Singapore Dollar.

Taxes. The benefit for income tax was $33.4 million on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $137.5 million in the 
current year compared to the benefit for income tax of $3.1 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $15.7 million
in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 24.3% for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 19.8% for the year ended December 31, 
2016. In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the 2017 Tax Act, we have recorded a provisional estimate of a net 
tax benefit of $26.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2017, which was the primary reason for the net increase in the 
Company’s effective tax rate for the period as compared to 2016. This net benefit included a net benefit of $17.1 million for the 
decrease in our deferred tax liability on unremitted foreign earnings, a benefit of $17.4 million associated with the remeasurement 
of other deferred tax balances to reflect the new tax rate and an increase in tax expense of approximately $8.4 million, net of 
related foreign tax credits, associated with a deemed repatriation tax. The net increase in the effective tax rate for the period was 
partially offset by the effect of the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment loss and the establishment of a valuation 
allowance on U.S. federal deferred tax assets, both of which were not directly related to the 2017 Tax Act. In 2018, our income 
tax expense (benefit) may be materially impacted by the adjustments to our provisional estimates that result from the finalization 
of our assessment of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act. For additional information on the 2017 Tax Act, see Note 8 to the consolidated 
financial statements.

Discontinued  operations. Loss  from  discontinued  operations,  net  of  income  tax,  was  $0.1  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2016 and relates to the operating results and disposal of an acquired Furmanite business that we sold in December 
2016.

Revenues. Total revenues grew $270.3 million or 29.2% from the same period in 2015, primarily due to the Furmanite and 
Qualspec acquisitions, completed in February 2016 and July 2015, respectively, partially offset by lower Quest Integrity revenues 
and an adverse impact of $6.6 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign 
exchange rates, total revenues increased by $276.9 million, TeamQualspec revenues increased by $43.6 million, TeamFurmanite 
revenues increased by $239.9 million and Quest Integrity revenues decreased by $6.6 million. Due to the integration of both 
Furmanite and Qualspec into our existing operations during 2016, it is not practicable to specifically quantify the year-over-year 
revenue impact of these acquisitions. On a pro forma basis, assuming that the Furmanite and Qualspec acquisitions occurred at 
the beginning of 2015, total revenues declined $120.8 million, or 8.9%. Market softness, which began in the second half of 2015, 
continued throughout 2016 across all three business segments. The weak market conditions led to a combination of project deferrals, 
scope reductions and maintenance deferrals, which, among other impacts, resulted in approximately 29% lower sales volumes in 
heat treating services, typically associated with large, more complex turnaround projects, within our TeamQualspec segment. 
Additionally, our TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec segments were adversely affected by wildfires in the Canadian oil sands 
area near Fort McMurray in the second quarter of 2016 as well as severe flooding in Louisiana in the third quarter of 2016. In the 
fall of 2016, what appeared to be the first signs of more normalized market activity did not ultimately develop into sustained 
increases as we saw demand weaken again in the latter part of the year. 

Operating income (loss). Overall operating loss was $3.1 million, compared to operating income of $47.3 million in 2015. 
The year ended December 31, 2016 includes net expenses totaling $34.6 million that we do not believe are indicative of the 
Company’s core operating activities, while the same period in 2015 included $14.2 million of such items, as detailed by segment 
in the table below (in thousands):

Primarily associated with the acquisition of Furmanite in 2016 and Qualspec in 2015
Primarily incremental costs incurred due to the severe flooding in Louisiana in 2016
Consists primarily of professional fees for acquired business integration, intellectual property legal defense costs associated with Quest Integrity and non-cash compensation 
cost associated with acceleration of vesting of awards

Excluding the impact of these items, operating income (loss) changed unfavorably by $30.0 million as the effect of acquisition-
related growth was more than offset by the adverse effects of the market softness and reduced customer spending described above. 
Additionally, we experienced lower average gross margins in 2016 as the market softness resulted in an unfavorable service mix 
shift away from higher margin advanced and specialty services normally tied to large turnaround projects. Further, operating 
income (loss) was affected by an increase in corporate and shared support services of $21.1 million, which includes the addition 
of Furmanite’s ongoing corporate-related costs and higher share-based compensation expense.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to $12.7 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase is due primarily to additional debt financing used to fund acquisitions, including 
the July 2015 acquisition of Qualspec and a portion of the February 2016 acquisition of Furmanite.

Foreign currency gain (loss) and other. Non-operating results include $0.1 million of foreign currency transaction gains 
for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to foreign currency transaction losses and other losses of $2.3 million in the 
same period in 2015. Foreign currency gains and losses in both periods reflect the effects of fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar relative 
to the currencies we have exposure to, including but not limited to, the Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Canadian 
Dollar, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit and Mexican Peso. Non-operating results in 2015 also reflect a one-time pre-tax charge of $1.2 
million after we began reporting the results of our Venezuelan operations using the cost method of accounting. We disposed of 
our Venezuelan operations in June 2015.

Taxes. The benefit for income tax was $3.1 million on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $15.7 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the provision for income tax of $13.7 million on pre-tax income from continuing 
operations of $39.2 million in 2015. The effective tax rate was 19.8% for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 35.1% for the 
year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the effects of discrete items such 
as the settlement of prior years with the Internal Revenue Service and changes in valuation allowances as well as permanent 
differences that had significant impacts due to the size and direction of pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations in both 
periods.

Discontinued  operations. Loss  from  discontinued  operations,  net  of  income  tax,  was  $0.1  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2016 and relates to the operating results and disposal of an acquired Furmanite business that we sold in December 
2016.

Revenues. Total revenues grew $84.3 million or 17.3% from the same period in 2014. Of this amount, approximately $85.8 
million represents revenues from acquisitions completed during 2015. Excluding the impacts of acquisitions and an adverse impact 
of $16.3 million due to foreign exchange rates, total revenues increased by $14.8 million, TeamQualspec revenues increased by 
$11.6 million, TeamFurmanite revenues increased by $2.3 million and Quest revenues increased by $0.9 million. While activity 
levels were up slightly in the seven months ended December 31, 2015, the fall turnaround season was softer than expected as our 
refining and petrochemical customers deferred many of their planned capital and maintenance projects.

Operating income. Overall operating income declined by $20.9 million or 52.2% from the same period in 2014. The seven 
months ended December 31, 2015 includes expenses that are not indicative of our core operating activities totaling $11.1 million,

Primarily associated with the acquisition of Qualspec in 2015
Consists primarily of professional fees for acquired business integration and the change in the Company’s year end as well as intellectual property legal defense costs 
associated with Quest Integrity

Excluding the impact of these items as well as the adverse foreign exchange rate changes of $1.1 million, operating income 
decreased by $8.7 million or 21.7% as a result of weaker than expected revenue generation mentioned above coupled with an 
increase in corporate and shared support services expenses of $2.8 million.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $1.3 million for the seven months ended December 31, 2014 to $4.9 
million for the seven months ended December 31, 2015. The increase is due primarily to additional debt financing used to fund 
the July 2015 acquisition of Qualspec.

Foreign currency (gain) loss and other. Non-operating results include foreign currency losses of $0.8 million in the seven 
months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $1.2 million in the seven months ended December 31, 2014. The seven-month 
period ended December 31, 2015 reflected the effects of a strengthening U.S. Dollar relative to the currencies we have exposure 
to, including but not limited to, the Euro, Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit and Mexican 
Peso.

Taxes. The  provision  for  income  tax  was  $4.6 million  on  pre-tax  income  of  $13.5 million  for  the  seven  months  ended 
December 31, 2015 compared to the provision for income tax of $13.6 million on pre-tax income of $37.6 million for the same 
period in 2014. The effective tax rate was 34% for the seven months ended December 31, 2015 and 36% for the seven months 
ended December 31, 2014. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of foreign exchange rate changes to 
certain deferred tax liability accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financing for our operations consists primarily of our Credit Facility and cash flows attributable to our operations, which 
we believe are sufficient to fund our business needs. From time to time, we may experience periods of weakness in the industries 
in which we operate, with activity levels below historical levels. These conditions, depending on their duration and severity, have 
the potential to adversely impact our operating cash flows. In the event that existing liquidity sources are no longer sufficient for 
our capital requirements, we would explore additional external financing sources. However, there can be no assurance that such 
sources would be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Credit Facility. In July 2015, we renewed our Credit Facility. In accordance with the second amendment to the Credit Facility, 
which was signed in February 2016, the Credit Facility had a borrowing capacity of up to $600 million and consisted of a $400 
million, five-year revolving loan facility and a $200 million five-year term loan facility. The swing line facility is $35.0 million. 
On  July  31,  2017,  we  completed  the  issuance  of  $230.0  million  of  5.00%  convertible  senior  notes  in  a  private  offering  (the 
“Offering,” which is described further below) and used the proceeds from the Offering to repay in full the outstanding term-loan 
portion of our Credit Facility and a portion of the outstanding revolving borrowings. Concurrent with the completion of the Offering 
and the repayment of outstanding borrowings, we entered into the sixth amendment to the Credit Facility, effective as of June 30, 
2017, which reduced the capacity of the Credit Facility to a $300 million revolving loan facility, subject to a borrowing availability 
test (based on eligible accounts, inventory and fixed assets). The Credit Facility matures in July 2020, bears interest based on a 
variable Eurodollar rate option (LIBOR plus 3.75% margin at December 31, 2017) and has commitment fees on unused borrowing 
capacity (0.75% at December 31, 2017). The Credit Facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends.

The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was required to maintain (i) 
a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit 
Facility agreement) of not more than 4.25 to 1.00 and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Interest 
Coverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement).  As of December 31, 2017, we are in compliance with these covenants. 
The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 3.53 to 1.00 and 3.03 to 1.00, respectively, as of 
December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, we had $26.6 million of cash on hand and had approximately $41 million of available 
borrowing capacity through our Credit Facility. In connection with the repayment in full of the outstanding term-loan portion of 
our Credit Facility of $160.0 million on July 31, 2017 and the reduction in capacity of the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, 
we recorded a loss of $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2017 associated with the write-off of a portion of the debt issuance 
costs associated with the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, we had $2.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that 
are being amortized over the life of the Credit Facility.

We entered into the seventh amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Seventh Amendment”) on March 8, 2018 to modify 
certain of the financial covenants. The Seventh Amendment eliminated the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility 
agreement) covenant through the remainder of the term of the Credit Facility and also modified both the Senior Secured Leverage 
Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio as follows. First, the Company is required to maintain a maximum Senior Secured Leverage 
Ratio of not more 4.25 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, not more than 3.50 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and 
each quarter thereafter through June 30, 2019 and not more than 2.75 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019 and each quarter thereafter. 
With respect to the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of not less than 2.25 to 1.00 as of March 
31, 2018 and each quarter thereafter through December 31, 2018 and not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019 and each 
quarter thereafter.

 Our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants is dependent upon our future operating performance and 
future financial condition, both of which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that 
we will be able to maintain compliance with the Credit Facility covenants as of any future date. In the event we are unable to 
maintain compliance with our financial covenants, we would seek to enter into an amendment to the Credit Facility with our bank 
group in order to modify and/or to provide relief from the financial covenants for an additional period of time. Although we have 
entered into amendments in the past, there can be no assurance that any future amendments would be available on terms acceptable 
to us, if at all. 

In order to secure our casualty insurance programs, we are required to post letters of credit generally issued by a bank as 
collateral. A letter of credit commits the issuer to remit specified amounts to the holder if the holder demonstrates that we failed 
to meet our obligations under the letter of credit. If this were to occur, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer for any 
payments the issuer was required to remit to the holder of the letter of credit. We were contingently liable for outstanding stand-
by letters of credit totaling $22.5 million at December 31, 2017 and $21.6 million at December 31, 2016. Outstanding letters of 
credit reduce amounts available under our Credit Facility and are considered as having been funded for purposes of calculating 
our financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Issuance of Convertible Senior Notes. On July 31, 2017, we issued $230.0 million principal amount of 5.00% Convertible 
Senior Notes due 2023 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in the Securities Act) pursuant to Rule 
144A under the Securities Act.. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 
5.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2018. The 
Notes mature on August 1, 2023 unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 
Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 46.0829 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 
Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.70 per share, which represents a conversion premium 
of 40% to the last reported sale price of $15.50 per share on the NYSE on July 25, 2017, the date the pricing of the Notes was 
completed. The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances as described in the 
indenture governing the Notes.

Holders may convert their Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding 

May 1, 2023, but only under the following circumstances:

(cid:149) 

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2017 (and only during 
such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not 
consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding 
calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

34

 
Table of Contents

(cid:149) 

(cid:149) 

(cid:149) 

during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which 
the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 
98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day;

if we call any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately 
preceding the redemption date; or;

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the indenture governing the Notes.

On or after May 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders 

may, at their option, convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Because the Notes could be convertible in full into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock, we are 
required by the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange to obtain the approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of 
common stock before the Notes may be converted into more than 5,964,858 shares of common stock. The Notes are initially 
convertible into 10,599,067 shares of common stock. We have agreed to seek approval of the holders of our outstanding shares 
of common stock at our next annual stockholders’ meeting. The Notes will be convertible into, subject to various conditions, cash 
or shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case, at 
the Company’s election, except that prior to receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, the Company will settle conversion in 
cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.

If holders elect to convert the Notes in connection with certain fundamental change transactions described in the indenture 
governing the Notes, we will, under certain circumstances described in the indenture governing the Notes, increase the conversion 
rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion.

We may not redeem the Notes prior to August 5, 2021. We will have the option to redeem all or any portion of the Notes 
on or after August 5, 2021, if certain conditions (including that our common stock is trading at or above 130% of the conversion 
price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive)), including the trading day immediately preceding the 
date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, 
the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal 
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption 
date.

Net proceeds received from the Offering were approximately $222.3 million after deducting discounts, commissions and 
expenses. We used $160.0 million of the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under the term-loan portion of our 
Credit Facility and $62.3 million of the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion 
of our Credit Facility, which may be subsequently reborrowed for general corporate purposes.

Cost Savings and Business Improvement Initiatives. On July 24, 2017, we announced our commitment to a cost savings 
initiative to take direct actions to reduce our overall cost structure given the recent weak and uncertain macro environment in the 
industries in which we operate. The cost savings initiative included reductions to discretionary spending and the elimination of 
certain employee positions. Based upon estimates from our current planning model for workforce reductions, we believe that the 
actions we have taken have reduced our annual operating expenses by approximately $30 million, with the impact to operating 
results of those reduction synergies having begun in the third quarter of 2017. The resulting severance and related charges, which 
were recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2017, were approximately $3.9 million, most of which had been paid in cash as 
of December 31, 2017. This cost savings initiative is largely complete. Later in 2017, the Company engaged an external consultant 
to assist management with assessing the Company’s business, including its operating and corporate cost structure, and identifying 
performance improvement opportunities. The assessment phase of this project is now complete and management has formed 
project teams that are developing the organizational design and implementation plans. The Company expects to begin to realize 
certain cost savings and other business improvements as execution of the implementation occurs starting in 2018, but does not 
expect to fully realize such benefits until 2020. We expect to incur various expenses associated with execution of these plans, the 
majority of which will be incurred in 2018, with funding provided by our operating cash flows and the Credit Facility. Currently, 
we estimate that such expenses will not exceed $30 million in 2018. Although management expects that cost savings and other 
business improvements will result from these actions, there can be no assurance that such results will be achieved.

ERP System. At the end of 2013, we initiated the design and implementation of a new ERP system, which was substantially 
installed by the end of 2017. Amortization of the ERP system development costs began in March 2017 and is computed by the 
straight-line method. Through December 31, 2017, we have capitalized $46.6 million associated with the project which includes 
$1.6 million of capitalized interest and we have recognized $2.6 million of amortization expense.

Common Stock Repurchase Plan. On June 23, 2014, our Board authorized an increase in the stock repurchase plan limit 
to repurchase Team common stock up to $50 million (net of the $13.3 million repurchased previously). During the quarter ended 
February 28, 2015, we repurchased 546,977 shares for a total cost of $21.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2016, 
we repurchased 274,110 shares for a total cost of $7.6 million. In the fourth quarter of 2016, these 821,087 shares were retired 
and are not included in common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2016. The retirement of the shares resulted in 
a reduction in common stock of $0.2 million, a reduction of $9.1 million to additional paid-in capital and a $19.4 million reduction 
to retained earnings. No shares were repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, $7.9 million 
remained available to repurchase shares under the stock repurchase plan.

Shelf  Registration  Statement.  In  October  2016,  we  filed  universal  shelf  registration  statement  on  Form  S-3  (file  no. 
333-214055) with the SEC (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) to issue common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants 
and units from time to time in one or more offerings. However, upon the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we no longer 
meet the definition of a “well-known seasoned issuer” under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, therefore the Shelf Registration 
Statement will no longer be available to us. Other than through the ATM Program (defined and discussed below), no securities 
were issued under the Shelf Registration Statement.

At-The-Market Offering Program. On November 28, 2016, we filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration 
Statement, under which we could have sold up to $150.0 million of our common stock through an “at-the-market” equity offering 
program (the “ATM Program”). Through December 31, 2016, we sold 167,931 shares of common stock under the ATM Program. 
The net proceeds from such sales were $6.0 million after deducting the aggregate commissions paid of approximately $0.1 million 
and were used to reduce outstanding indebtedness. No shares of common stock were sold under the ATM Program during 2017. 

On July 31, 2017, we delivered written notice to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Raymond James & 
Associates,  Inc.  and  SunTrust  Robinson  Humphrey,  Inc.  (collectively,  the  “Agents”)  of  our  termination  of  the ATM  Equity 
OfferingSM Sales Agreement, dated November 28, 2016 (the “Sales Agreement”), pursuant to Section 9(a) thereof. The Sales 
Agreement was terminable by us or the Agents for any reason at any time without penalty upon three days’ written notice to the 
other party. 

In connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement and the commencement of the ATM Program, we capitalized 
costs totaling $0.7 million, substantially all of which was written off to selling, general and administrative expense in 2017 after 
the cancellation of the ATM Program.

Cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2017 totaled $26.6 million, of which $21.5 

million was in foreign accounts, primarily in Europe, Canada and Australia.

Cash flows attributable to our operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2017, net cash used in operating 
activities was $13.7 million. The negative operating cash flow was primarily attributable to the net loss of $104.2 million, deferred 
tax benefits of $46.5 million and a decrease in working capital of $5.0 million, largely offset by the effect of the non-cash goodwill 
impairment loss of $75.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $52.1 million and non-cash compensation cost of $7.9 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $79.6 million. Although we incurred 
a net loss of $12.7 million, the effect of depreciation and amortization of $48.7 million, a decrease in working capital of $31.2 
million and non-cash compensation cost of $7.3 million resulted in positive operating cash flow.

For  the  seven  months ended  December 31, 2015,  net  cash  provided  by  operating activities was  $17.3  million.  Positive 
operating cash flow was primarily attributable to net income of $8.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $19.4 million, and 
non-cash compensation cost of $3.5 million offset by an increase in working capital of $20.4 million.

For the year ended May 31, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $43.5 million. Positive operating cash flow 
was  primarily  attributable  to  net  income  of  $40.5  million,  depreciation  and  amortization  of  $22.8  million,  and  non-cash 
compensation cost of $4.8 million offset by a $27.7 million increase in working capital.

Cash  flows  attributable  to  our  investing  activities.  For  the  year  ended  December 31,  2017,  net  cash  used  in  investing 
activities was $34.0 million, consisting primarily of $36.8 million of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures included $1.8 
million in costs related to our ERP project. Capital expenditures can vary depending upon specific customer needs that may arise 
unexpectedly.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $70.8 million, consisting primarily of $48.4 
million for business acquisitions, $45.8 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $13.3 million in net proceeds from the 
36

sale of discontinued operations. Capital expenditures included $19.3 million in costs related to our ERP project. Discontinued 
operations relates to a pipeline inspection business that we acquired as part of the acquisition of Furmanite. This operation was 
sold in December 2016.

For the seven months ended December 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $287.8 million, consisting primarily 
of $262.1 million for business acquisitions and $25.8 million of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures included $11.1 million 
in costs related to our ERP project. 

For the year ended May 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $31.8 million, consisting primarily of $28.8 
million of capital expenditures and $3.1 million related to business acquisitions. Capital expenditures included $10.0 million in 
costs related to our ERP project.

Cash flows attributable to our financing activities. For the year ended December 31, 2017, net cash provided by financing 
activities was $25.6 million, consisting primarily of $222.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of our convertible senior notes, 
partially offset by $170.0 million in payments on our term loan, $23.0 million of net debt repayments under the revolving portion 
of our Credit Facility and $1.9 million of Credit Facility debt issuance costs.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in financing activities was $6.0 million, consisting primarily of $7.6 
million of cash related to the purchase of stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plan, $4.0 million of net cash used for debt 
repayments and $2.5 million of contingent and deferred consideration payments, partially offset by $11.1 million of net cash 
generated from the issuance of common stock and exercise of stock options.

For the seven months ended December 31, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $283.7 million consisting 
primarily of $293.0 million of net borrowings related to our Credit Facility principally to fund the Qualspec acquisition and $2.1 
million from the issuance of common stock from share-based payment arrangements. These amounts were partially offset by $5.9 
million for the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in Quest Integrity, $2.3 million in deferred consideration payments and 
$2.0 million related to debt issuance costs.

For the year ended May 31, 2015, net cash used in financing activities was $10.1 million, consisting primarily of $21.1 
million of cash related to the purchase of stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plan partially offset by $8.0 million of borrowings.

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the effect of foreign exchange rate changes 
on cash was a positive impact of $2.5 million. The positive impact in the current period is primarily attributable to favorable 
fluctuations in U.S. Dollar exchange rates with the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and the British Pound, partially offset by 
unfavorable fluctuations with the Euro and the Malaysian Ringgit.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash was a negative impact of $1.3 
million. The negative impact in 2016 was primarily attributable to changes in U.S. Dollar exchange rates with the British Pound.

For the seven months ended December 31, 2015, the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash was a negative impact 
of $1.6 million. The negative impact in the period was primarily attributable to changes in U.S. Dollar exchange rates with Canada, 
Europe and Malaysia.

For the year ended May 31, 2015, the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash was a negative impact of $3.1 million. 
The negative impact in the period was primarily attributable to changes in U.S. Dollar exchange rates with Canada and Europe.

While we cannot predict with any certainty the amount of interest payments due to the expected variability of interest rates and principal amounts outstanding, we have provided 
estimated amounts of interest payments based on the following assumptions. With respect to our Credit Facility, the calculation includes estimated interest payments totaling 
$22 million over the remaining contractual period based on the outstanding principal balance and interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2017. With respect to the Notes, 
includes total interest payments of $69 million assuming that the Notes remain outstanding through the maturity date.

The table above excludes approximately $8 million (undiscounted) of lease payments over a 15-year period that we expect to be recorded as a capital lease obligation when the 
facility subject to the lease is constructed and the lease commences, which is scheduled to occur in 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

The process of preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and 
judgments. It is possible that materially different amounts could be recorded if these estimates and judgments change or if actual 
results differ from these estimates and judgments. We have identified the following five critical accounting policies that require 
a significant amount of estimation and judgment and are considered to be important to the portrayal of our financial position and 
results of operations:

(cid:149)  Revenue Recognition

(cid:149)  Goodwill and Intangible Assets

(cid:149) 

Income Taxes

(cid:149)  Workers’ Compensation, Auto, Medical and General Liability Accruals

(cid:149)  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Revenue recognition. Most of our projects are short-term in nature and we predominantly derive revenues by providing a 
variety of industrial services on a time and material basis. For all of these services, our revenues are recognized when services are 
rendered or when product is shipped to the job site and risk of ownership passes to the customer. However, due to various contractual 

38

Table of Contents

terms with our customers, at the end of any reporting period, there may be earned but unbilled revenue that is accrued to properly 
match revenues with related costs. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount of earned but unbilled revenue 
included in accounts receivable was $69.1 million and $39.7 million, respectively.

Goodwill and intangible assets. We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to their identifiable tangible assets 
and liabilities, such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We 
also allocate a portion of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets, such as non-compete agreements, trademarks, trade 
names, patents, technology and customer relationships. Allocations are based on estimated fair values of assets and liabilities. We 
use all available information to estimate fair values including quoted market prices, the carrying value of acquired assets, and 
widely accepted valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application 
of the fair value techniques, including estimates of future cash flows, selling prices, replacement costs, economic lives and the 
selection of a discount rate, and it involves using of Level 3 measurements as defined in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and 
Disclosure (“ASC 820”). Deferred taxes are recorded for any differences between the assigned values and tax bases of assets and 
liabilities. Estimated deferred taxes are based on available information concerning the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed and loss carryforwards at the acquisition date, although such estimates may change in the future as additional information 
becomes known. Any remaining excess of cost over allocated fair values is recorded as goodwill. We typically engage third-party 
valuation experts to assist in determining the fair values for both the identifiable tangible and intangible assets. The judgments 
made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset 
lives, could materially impact our results of operations.

With respect to our intangible asset associated with the Furmanite trade name, management has recently determined that, 
as a result of initiatives to consolidate the Company’s branding, the useful life of this intangible asset is not expected to extend 
beyond December 31, 2018. In accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), we will account for 
the  change  in  useful  life  prospectively  and  amortize  the  remaining  balance  during  2018.  We  expect  to  recognize  additional 
amortization expense of approximately $12 million in 2018, compared to 2017, as a result of this change in estimate.

Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life 
are not amortized, but are instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of the ASC 350. 
Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives up to their estimated residual 
values and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 350. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, 
which we have determined to be the same as our operating segments. Each reporting unit has goodwill relating to past acquisitions. 

Prior to January 1, 2017, the test for impairment was a two-step process that involved comparing the estimated fair value 
of each reporting unit to the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeded its 
carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit was not considered impaired; therefore, the second step of the impairment test 
would not be deemed necessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, we would then perform the 
second step to the goodwill impairment test, which involved the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit’s assets and 
liabilities as if those assets and liabilities had been acquired/assumed in a business combination at the impairment testing date, to 
measure  the  amount  of  goodwill  impairment  loss  to  be  recorded.  However,  as  discussed  under  “Newly Adopted Accounting 
Principles—ASU No. 2017-04” in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2017 we prospectively 
adopted a new accounting principle that eliminated the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, for goodwill 
impairment tests occurring after January 1, 2017, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we measure any 
goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed 
the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Our goodwill annual test date is December 1 of each year. 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, we performed a quantitative test for goodwill impairment as of December 1, 2016 
and concluded that there was no impairment. The fair values of the reporting units at December 1, 2016 were determined using a 
combination of income and market approaches. The income approach was based on discounted cash flow models with estimated 
cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenue and expenses over a five-year period plus a terminal value period. The income 
approach  estimated  fair  value  by  discounting  each  reporting  unit’s  estimated  future  cash  flows  using  a  discount  rate  that 
approximated our weighted-average cost of capital. Major assumptions applied in an income approach include forecasted growth 
rates as well as forecasted profitability by reporting unit. Additionally, we considered two market approaches that used multiples, 
based on observable market data, of certain financial metrics of our reporting units to arrive at fair value. We applied equal weighting 
to each of the income and the two market approaches. The fair value derived from these approaches, in the aggregate, approximated 
our market capitalization. At December 1, 2016, our market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our consolidated net 
assets by approximately $437 million or 80%, and the fair value of each reporting unit significantly exceeded its respective carrying 
amount as of that date.

In the second quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger 
an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The indicators included, among other factors, the continued market softness, primarily 
in our TeamFurmanite segment, and the related impacts on our financial results and our stock price. The Company’s interim 
goodwill impairment test was prepared as of June 30, 2017 using a similar methodology as described above for its 2016 impairment 
test. The June 30, 2017 interim goodwill impairment test indicated no impairment as the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded 
their carrying values. On June 30, 2017, our market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our consolidated net assets by 
approximately $175 million or 33%. The fair value of the Quest Integrity reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value. 
With respect to our TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite reporting unit, the fair values exceeded carrying values by 65% and 46%, 
respectively. 

In the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an 
additional interim goodwill impairment analysis, primarily due to a 43% decrease in the Company’s stock price during the quarter, 
coupled with the continuation of the other factors noted above. This interim goodwill impairment test was prepared as of July 31, 
2017 using a similar methodology as used in the December 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017 impairment tests as described above, except 
that additional weighting was given to the income approach. Additionally, for the two market approaches, we added a weighting 
of historical financial metrics in addition to projected financial metrics. Management believes these changes were appropriate 
given the significant decrease in share price since the last interim impairment test in order to reconcile its reporting unit fair values 
to the lower market capitalization. The July 31, 2017 interim goodwill impairment test indicated impairment as the carrying values 
of the TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec reporting units exceeded their fair values. The carrying value of the TeamFurmanite 
reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $54.1 million and the carrying value of the TeamQualspec reporting unit exceeded its fair 
value by $21.1 million, resulting in a total impairment loss of $75.2 million. The fair values of the reporting units are “Level 3” 
measurements as defined in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the Quest Integrity reporting unit 
significantly exceeded its carrying value. 

For our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 1, 2017, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine 
if it was more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair values of our reporting units were less 
than their respective carrying values as of the test date. Our qualitative assessment considered relevant events and circumstances 
occurring since the July 31, 2017 quantitative impairment test date that could affect the fair value or carrying amount of the 
reporting units. Specifically, we considered changes in the Company’s stock price, industry and market conditions, our internal 
forecasts of future revenue and expenses, any significant events affecting the Company and actual changes in the carrying value 
of our net assets. After considering all positive and negative evidence, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that our 
carrying values exceeded fair values and, as such, no additional impairment was indicated. 

There was $284.8 million and $355.8 million of goodwill at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. A summary of 

goodwill is as follows (in thousands):

Income taxes. We follow the guidance of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that we use the asset and 
liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and provide deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences. 
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of 
the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax payable and related tax expense 
together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items, such as depreciation, for tax and 
accounting purposes. These differences can result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated 
balance sheets.

In accordance with ASC 740, we are required to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realized and, to the 
extent we believe that it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets 
will not be realized, we must establish a valuation allowance. We consider all available evidence to determine whether, based on 
the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Evidence used includes information about our current financial position 
and our results of operations for the current and preceding years, as well as all currently available information about future years, 
including our anticipated future performance, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and tax planning strategies.

Management believes future sources of taxable income, reversing temporary differences and other tax planning strategies 
will be sufficient to realize assets for which no reserve has been established. While we have considered these factors in assessing 
the need for a valuation allowance, there is no assurance that a valuation allowance would not need to be established in the future 
if information about future years change. Any change in the valuation allowance would impact our income tax provision and net 
income (loss) in the period in which such a determination is made. As of December 31, 2017, we believe that it is more likely than 
not that we will have sufficient reversals of temporary differences and future taxable income to allow us to realize the benefits of 
the net deferred tax assets except for those related to net operating loss carry forwards of certain foreign subsidiaries in the amount 
$6.0 million, U.S net operating loss carry forwards of $99.0 million and unutilized research and development tax credits of $0.8 
million. Our belief is based upon our record of historical earnings levels in recent years and projections of future taxable income 
over the periods in which the future deductible temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2017, our deferred 
tax assets were $59.7 million, less a valuation allowance of $26.2 million. As of December 31, 2017, our deferred tax liabilities 
were $33.3 million.

Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items for tax purposes. In 
accordance with ASC 740-10, we establish reserves for uncertain tax positions when, despite our belief that our tax return positions 
are supportable, we believe that it is not more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon challenge. When facts and 
circumstances change, we adjust these reserves through our provision for income taxes. To the extent interest and penalties may 
be assessed by taxing authorities on any related underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and are classified 
as a component of income tax provision (benefit) in our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2017, our 
unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were $1.2 million.

The 2017 Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and represents a significant change to the U.S. corporate income tax 
system including: a federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21%; limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and 
executive compensation; creation of new minimum taxes such as the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) and Global Intangible 
Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax; and the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a modified 
territorial tax system, which will result in a one-time U.S. tax liability on those earnings that have not previously been repatriated 
to the U.S.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the 2017 Tax Act, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 
(“SAB 118”), which requires companies include in their financial statements reasonable estimates of the impacts of the 2017 Tax 
Act to the extent such reasonable estimates have been determined. Under SAB 118, companies are allowed a measurement period 
of up to one year after the enactment date of the 2017 Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. Accordingly, 
the Company has recorded certain reasonable estimates of the tax impact in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the 
year ended December 31, 2017, as detailed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. However, we have not yet completed 
our accounting for the income tax effects of certain elements of the 2017 Tax Act, including the new GILTI and BEAT taxes. Due 
to the complexity of these new tax rules, we are continuing to evaluate these provisions of the 2017 Tax Act and whether such 
taxes are recorded as a current-period expense when incurred or whether such amounts should be factored into the measurement 
deferred taxes. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the 2017 Tax Act and will record any resulting adjustments 
to its provisional estimates during 2018, which may materially impact our income tax expense (benefit).

Workers’ compensation, auto, medical and general liability accruals. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies (“ASC 
450”), we record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be 
reasonably estimated. We review our loss contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure that we have appropriate reserves recorded 
on our balance sheet. These reserves are based on historical experience with claims incurred but not received, estimates and 
41

Table of Contents

judgments made by management, applicable insurance coverage for litigation matters, and are adjusted as circumstances warrant. 
For workers’ compensation, our self-insured retention is $1.0 million and our automobile liability self-insured retention is currently 
$500,000 per occurrence. For general liability claims we have an effective self-insured retention of $3.0 million per occurrence. 
For medical claims, our self-insured retention is $350,000 per individual claimant determined on an annual basis. For environmental 
liability claims, our self-insured retention is $1.0 million per occurrence. We maintain insurance for claims that exceed such self-
retention limits. The insurance is subject to terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that may not fully compensate us for all 
losses.  Our  estimates  and  judgments  could  change  based  on  new  information,  changes  in  laws  or  regulations,  changes  in 
management’s plans or intentions, or the outcome of legal proceedings, settlements or other factors. If different estimates and 
judgments were applied with respect to these matters, it is likely that reserves would be recorded for different amounts.

Allowance for doubtful accounts. In the ordinary course of business, a portion of our accounts receivable are not collected 
due to billing disputes, customer bankruptcies, dissatisfaction with the services we performed and other various reasons. We 
establish an allowance to account for those accounts receivable that we estimate will eventually be deemed uncollectible. The 
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of our historical experience and management’s review of long outstanding 
accounts receivable.

New Accounting Principles

For information about newly adopted accounting principles as well as information about new accounting principles pending 

adoption, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have operations in foreign countries with a functional currency that is not the U.S. Dollar. We are exposed to market 
risk, primarily related to foreign currency fluctuations related to these operations. Subsidiaries with asset and liability balances 
denominated in currencies other than their functional currency are remeasured in the preparation of their financial statements using 
a combination of current and historical exchange rates, with any resulting remeasurement adjustments included in net income 
(loss) for the period. Net foreign currency transaction losses for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $0.5 million. The foreign 
currency transaction gains realized in the year ended December 31, 2017 reflect the effects of fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar 
relative to the currencies we have exposure to, including but not limited to, the Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, British Pound, 
Canadian Dollar, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit and Mexican Peso.

In 2015, we initiated a foreign currency hedging program to mitigate the foreign currency risk in countries where we have 
significant assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. We utilize monthly foreign currency 
swap contracts to reduce exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our largest exposures including, but 
not limited to the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit and Mexican Peso. 
The impact from these swap contracts was not material as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 or for the years ended December 31, 
2017 and 2016, the seven months ended December 31, 2015 and the year ended May 31, 2015.

Translation adjustments for the assets and liability accounts are included as a separate component of accumulated other 
comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency translation gains recognized in other comprehensive income were 
$10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Based on the year ended December 31, 2017, we had foreign currency-based revenues and operating income of $328.8 
million and $14.9 million, respectively, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all applicable foreign currencies would result in an 
annual change in revenues and operating income of $32.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

We carry Euro-based debt to serve as a hedge of our net investment in our European operations as fluctuations in the fair 
value of the borrowing attributable to the U.S. Dollar/Euro spot rate will offset translation gains or losses attributable to our 
investment in our European operations. We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign currency fluctuations related 
to the unhedged portion of our investment in our European operations.

On July 31, 2017, we issued $230.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023. 
The Notes are initially convertible into 10,599,067 shares of our common stock. Because we could be required to cash-settle a 
portion of the conversion feature of the Notes, we have recorded an embedded derivative liability for the conversion feature for 
approximately 60% of the Notes pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in fair value of the embedded 
derivative liability reflected in our results of operations each period. Gains and/or losses on the embedded derivative liability will 
continue to impact our results of operations unless and until we receive stockholder approval for the issuance of more than 19.99 

42

Table of Contents

percent of our outstanding common stock upon conversion of the Notes. The valuation of such derivative liability is highly sensitive 
to changes in the price of our common stock. Generally, decreases in our stock price will result in gains, while increases in our 
stock price will result in losses. As such, movement in our stock price could materially and adversely affect our financial results, 
including our net income (loss) as well as increase the volatility of our financial results from period to period. The Company 
recorded  a  gain  on  this  embedded  derivative  of  $0.8  million  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  operations  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of the embedded derivative reflected in our consolidated balance 
sheet was $20.6 million.

All of the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility bears interest at variable market rates. If market interest rates increase, 
our interest expense and cash flows could be adversely impacted. Based on Credit Facility borrowings outstanding at December 
31, 2017, an increase in market interest rates of 100 basis points would increase our interest expense and decrease our operating 
cash flows by approximately $2 million on an annual basis.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Team, Inc.:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

We have audited Team, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, 
based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal 
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements 
of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended 
December 31,  2017,  the  seven  months  ended  December  31,  2015,  and  the  year  ended  May  31,  2015  and  the  related  notes 
(collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 15, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on 
those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment 
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over 
financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent 
with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material 
respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial 
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of 
internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary 
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain 
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets 
of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are 
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

TEAM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Description of Business. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Team, Inc.,” “Team,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and 
“us” are used in this report to refer to Team, Inc., to one or more of our consolidated subsidiaries or to all of them taken as a whole. 
We are a leading provider of standard to specialty industrial services, including inspection, engineering assessment and mechanical 
repair and remediation required in maintaining high temperature and high pressure piping systems and vessels that are utilized 
extensively in the refining, petrochemical, power, pipeline and other heavy industries. We conduct operations in three segments:  
TeamQualspec Group (“TeamQualspec”) (formerly the Inspection and Heat Treating Services Group), TeamFurmanite Group 
(“TeamFurmanite”) (formerly the Mechanical Services Group) and Quest Integrity (“Quest Integrity”). Through the capabilities 
and resources in these three segments, we believe that Team is uniquely qualified to provide integrated solutions involving in their 
most basic form, inspection to assess condition, engineering assessment to determine fitness for purpose in the context of industry 
standards and regulatory codes and mechanical services to repair, rerate or replace based upon the client’s election. In addition, 
our Company is capable of escalating with the client’s needs—as dictated by the severity of the damage found and the related 
operating conditions—from standard services to some of the most advanced services and integrated integrity management and 
asset reliability solutions available in the industry. We also believe that Team is unique in its ability to provide services in three 
distinct client demand profiles: (i) turnaround or project services, (ii) call-out services and (iii) nested or run-and-maintain services. 

TeamQualspec provides standard and advanced non-destructive testing (“NDT”) services for the process, pipeline and power 
sectors, pipeline integrity management services, field heat treating services, as well as associated engineering and assessment 
services.  These  services  can  be  offered  while  facilities  are  running  (on-stream),  during  facility  turnarounds  or  during  new 
construction or expansion activities.

TeamFurmanite, our mechanical services segment, provides primarily call-out and turnaround services under both on-stream 
and off-line/shut down circumstances. Turnaround services are project-related and demand is a function of the number and scope 
of scheduled and unscheduled facility turnarounds as well as new industrial facility construction or expansion activities. The 
turnaround and call-out services TeamFurmanite provides include field machining, technical bolting, field valve repair, and isolation 
test plugging services. On-stream services offered by TeamFurmanite represent the services offered while plants are operating and 
under pressure. These services include leak repair, fugitive emissions control and hot tapping.

Quest Integrity provides integrity and reliability management solutions for the process, pipeline and power sectors. These 
solutions encompass two broadly-defined disciplines: (1) highly specialized in-line inspection services for unpiggable process 
piping and pipelines using proprietary in-line inspection tools and analytical software; and (2) advanced condition assessment 
services through a multi-disciplined engineering team. 

We offer these services globally through over 220 locations in 20 countries throughout the world with more than 7,300
employees. We market our services to companies in a diverse array of heavy industries which include the petrochemical, refining, 
power, pipeline, steel, pulp and paper industries, as well as municipalities, shipbuilding, OEMs, distributors, and some of the 
world’s largest engineering and construction firms. 

Our stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TISI”.

In November 2015, we announced we would change our fiscal year end to December 31 of each calendar year from May 
31. In connection with this change, we previously filed a Transition Report on Form 10-K to report the results of the seven-month 
transition period from June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. In this report, the periods presented are the years ended December 31, 
2017 and 2016, the seven-month transition period from June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 and the year ended May 31, 2015. 
For comparison purposes, we have also included unaudited data for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the seven months 
ended December 31, 2014 (see Note 20).

Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Team, Inc. and our majority-owned subsidiaries 
where we have control over operating and financial policies. Investments in affiliates in which we have the ability to exert significant 
influence over operating and financial policies, but where we do not control the operating and financial policies, are accounted 
for using the equity method. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Effective 
February 1, 2015, we began reporting the results of our Venezuelan operations using the cost method of accounting (see Note 17).

Use  of  estimates.  Our  accounting  policies  conform  to  Generally Accepted Accounting  Principles  in  the  United  States 
(“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates 
and judgments that affect our reported financial position and results of operations. We review significant estimates and judgments 
affecting our consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to 
51

Table of Contents

their publication. Estimates and judgments are based on information available at the time such estimates and judgments are made. 
Adjustments made with respect to the use of these estimates and judgments often relate to information not previously available. 
Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and judgments are inherent in the preparation of financial statements. Estimates and 
judgments are used in, among other things, (1) aspects of revenue recognition, (2) valuation of acquisition related tangible and 
intangible assets and assessments of all long-lived assets for possible impairment, (3) estimating various factors used to accrue

derivative liability in our convertible debt and (9) selecting assumptions used in the measurement of costs and liabilities associated 
with defined benefit pension plans. Our most significant accounting policies are described below. 

Fair  value  of  financial  instruments.  Our  financial  instruments  consist  primarily  of  cash,  cash  equivalents,  accounts 
receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations. The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and 
trade accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The 
fair value of our banking facility is representative of the carrying value based upon the variable terms and management’s opinion 
that the current rates available to us with the same maturity and security structure are equivalent to that of the banking facility. 
The fair value of our convertible senior notes as of December 31, 2017 is $231.6 million (inclusive of the fair value of the conversion 
option) and is a “Level 2” (as defined in Note 10) measurement, determined based on the observed trading price of these instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of all demand deposits and funds invested in highly liquid 

short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

Inventory. Except for certain inventories that are valued based on weighted-average cost, we use the first-in, first-out method 
to value our inventory. Inventory includes material, labor and certain fixed overhead costs. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost 
and net realizable value. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed periodically and carrying cost is reduced to net realizable value 
for inventories for which their cost exceeds their utility. The cost of inventories consumed or products sold are included in operating 
expenses.

Property,  plant  and  equipment.  Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and 
amortization. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their respective useful life or the lease term. Depreciation 
and amortization of assets are computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

Revenue recognition. Most of our projects are short-term in nature and we predominantly derive revenues by providing a 
variety of industrial services on a time and material basis. For all of these services our revenues are recognized when services are 
rendered or when product is shipped to the job site and risk of ownership passes to the customer. However, due to various contractual 
terms with our customers, at the end of any reporting period, there may be earned but unbilled revenue that is accrued to properly 
match revenues with related costs. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount of earned but unbilled revenue 
included in accounts receivable was $69.1 million and $39.7 million, respectively.

Goodwill and intangible assets. We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to their identifiable tangible assets 
and liabilities, such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We 
also allocate a portion of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets, such as non-compete agreements, trademarks, trade 
names, patents, technology and customer relationships. Allocations are based on estimated fair values of assets and liabilities. We 
use all available information to estimate fair values including quoted market prices, the carrying value of acquired assets, and 
widely accepted valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application 
of the fair value techniques, including estimates of future cash flows, selling prices, replacement costs, economic lives and the 
selection of a discount rate, as well as the use of “Level 3” measurements as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board 

52

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). Deferred 
taxes are recorded for any differences between the assigned values and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Estimated deferred taxes 
are based on available information concerning the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and loss carryforwards at 
the acquisition date, although such estimates may change in the future as additional information becomes known. Any remaining 
excess of cost over allocated fair values is recorded as goodwill. We typically engage third-party valuation experts to assist in 
determining the fair values for both the identifiable tangible and intangible assets. The judgments made in determining the estimated 
fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, could materially impact our 
results of operations.

Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life 
are  not  amortized,  but  are  instead  tested  for  impairment  at  least  annually  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the ASC  350 
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their respective 
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 350. We assess 
goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which we have determined to be the same as our operating segments. Each 
reporting unit has goodwill relating to past acquisitions.

Prior to January 1, 2017, the test for impairment was a two-step process that involved comparing the estimated fair value 
of each reporting unit to the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeded its 
carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit was not considered impaired; therefore, the second step of the impairment test 
would not be deemed necessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, we would then perform the 
second step to the goodwill impairment test, which involved the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit’s assets and 
liabilities as if those assets and liabilities had been acquired/assumed in a business combination at the impairment testing date, to 
measure  the  amount  of  goodwill  impairment  loss  to  be  recorded.  However,  as  discussed  under  “Newly Adopted Accounting 
Principles—ASU  No.  2017-04”  below,  effective  January  1,  2017  we  prospectively  adopted  a  new  accounting  principle  that 
eliminated the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, for goodwill impairment tests occurring after January 1, 
2017, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we measure any goodwill impairment losses as the amount 
by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to 
that reporting unit. Our goodwill annual test date is December 1 of each year. 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, we performed a quantitative test for goodwill impairment as of December 1, 2016 
and concluded that there was no impairment. The fair values of the reporting units at December 1, 2016 were determined using a 
combination of income and market approaches. The income approach was based on discounted cash flow models with estimated 
cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenue and expenses over a five-year period plus a terminal value period. The income 
approach  estimated  fair  value  by  discounting  each  reporting  unit’s  estimated  future  cash  flows  using  a  discount  rate  that 
approximated our weighted-average cost of capital. Major assumptions applied in an income approach include forecasted growth 
rates as well as forecasted profitability by reporting unit. Additionally, we considered two market approaches that used multiples, 
based on observable market data, of certain financial metrics of our reporting units to arrive at fair value. We applied equal weighting 
to each of the income and the two market approaches. The fair value derived from these approaches, in the aggregate, approximated 
our market capitalization. At December 1, 2016, our market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our consolidated net 
assets by approximately $437 million or 80%, and the fair value of each reporting unit significantly exceeded its respective carrying 
amount as of that date.

In the second quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger 
an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The indicators included, among other factors, the continued market softness, primarily 
in our TeamFurmanite segment, and the related impacts on our financial results and our stock price. The Company’s interim 
goodwill impairment test was prepared as of June 30, 2017 using a similar methodology as described above for its 2016 impairment 
test. The June 30, 2017 interim goodwill impairment test indicated no impairment as the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded 
their carrying values. On June 30, 2017, our market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our consolidated net assets by 
approximately $175 million or 33%. The fair value of the Quest Integrity reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value. 
With respect to our TeamQualspec and TeamFurmanite reporting unit, the fair values exceeded carrying values by 65% and 46%, 
respectively. 

In the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an 
additional interim goodwill impairment analysis, primarily due to a 43% decrease in the Company’s stock price during the quarter, 
coupled with the continuation of the other factors noted above. This interim goodwill impairment test was prepared as of July 31, 
2017 using a similar methodology as used in the December 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017 impairment tests as described above, except 
that additional weighting was given to the income approach. Additionally, for the two market approaches, we added a weighting 
of historical financial metrics in addition to projected financial metrics. Management believes these changes were appropriate 
given the significant decrease in share price since the last interim impairment test in order to reconcile its reporting unit fair values 
53

Table of Contents

to the lower market capitalization. The July 31, 2017 interim goodwill impairment test indicated impairment as the carrying values 
of the TeamFurmanite and TeamQualspec reporting units exceeded their fair values. The carrying value of the TeamFurmanite 
reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $54.1 million and the carrying value of the TeamQualspec reporting unit exceeded its fair 
value by $21.1 million, resulting in a total impairment loss of $75.2 million. The fair values of the reporting units are “Level 3” 
measurements as defined in Note 10. The fair value of the Quest Integrity reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value. 

For our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 1, 2017, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine 
if it was more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair values of our reporting units were less 
than their respective carrying values as of the test date. Our qualitative assessment considered relevant events and circumstances 
occurring since the July 31, 2017 quantitative impairment test date that could affect the fair value or carrying amount of the 
reporting units. Specifically, we considered changes in the Company’s stock price, industry and market conditions, our internal 
forecasts of future revenue and expenses, any significant events affecting the Company and actual changes in the carrying value 
of our net assets. After considering all positive and negative evidence, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that our 
carrying values exceeded fair values and, as such, no additional impairment was indicated. 

There was $284.8 million and $355.8 million of goodwill at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. A summary of 

goodwill is as follows (in thousands):

There was no accumulated impairment loss at December 31, 2016.

Income taxes. We follow the guidance of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that we use the asset and 
liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and provide deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences. 
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of 
the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax payable and related tax expense 
together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items, such as depreciation, for tax and 
accounting purposes. These differences can result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated 
balance sheets.

In accordance with ASC 740, we are required to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realized and, to the 
extent we believe that it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets 
will not be realized, we must establish a valuation allowance. We consider all available evidence to determine whether, based on 
the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Evidence used includes information about our current financial position 
and our results of operations for the current and preceding years, as well as all currently available information about future years, 
including our anticipated future performance, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and tax planning strategies.

54

 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

Management believes future sources of taxable income, reversing temporary differences and other tax planning strategies 
will be sufficient to realize assets for which no reserve has been established. While we have considered these factors in assessing 
the need for a valuation allowance, there is no assurance that a valuation allowance would not need to be established in the future 
if information about future years change, or conversely, that a previously established valuation allowance would not need to be 
released. Any change in the valuation allowance would impact our income tax provision and net income (loss) in the period in 
which such a determination is made. As of December 31, 2017, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will have sufficient 
reversals of temporary differences and future taxable income to allow us to realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets except 
for those related to net operating loss carry forwards of certain foreign subsidiaries in the amount $6.0 million, United States 
(“U.S.”) net operating loss carry forwards of $99.0 million and unutilized research and development tax credits of $0.8 million. 
Our belief is based upon our record of historical earnings levels in recent years and projections of future taxable income over the 
periods in which the future deductible temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2017, our deferred tax assets 
were $59.7 million, less a valuation allowance of $26.2 million. As of December 31, 2017, our deferred tax liabilities were $33.3 
million.

Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items for tax purposes. In 
accordance with ASC 740-10, we establish reserves for uncertain tax positions when, despite our belief that our tax return positions 
are supportable, we believe that it is not more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon challenge. When facts and 
circumstances change, we adjust these reserves through our provision for income taxes. To the extent interest and penalties may 
be assessed by taxing authorities on any related underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and are classified 
as a component of income tax provision (benefit) in our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2017, our 
unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were $1.2 million.

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and represents a significant change 
to  the  U.S.  corporate  income  tax  system  including:  a  federal  corporate  rate  reduction  from  35%  to  21%;  limitations  on  the 
deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation; creation of new minimum taxes such as the base erosion anti-abuse 
tax (“BEAT”) and Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax; and the transition of U.S. international taxation from a 
worldwide tax system to a modified territorial tax system, which will result in a one-time U.S. tax liability on those earnings that 
have not previously been repatriated to the U.S.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the 2017 Tax Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which requires companies include in their financial statements reasonable 
estimates of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act to the extent such reasonable estimates have been determined. Under SAB 118, 
companies are allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the 2017 Tax Act to finalize the recording 
of the related tax impacts. Accordingly, the Company has recorded certain reasonable estimates of the tax impact in its consolidated 
statement  of  operations  for  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  as  detailed  in  Note  8.  However,  we  have  not  yet  completed  our 
accounting for the income tax effects of certain elements of the 2017 Tax Act, including the new GILTI and BEAT taxes. Due to 
the complexity of these new tax rules, we are continuing to evaluate these provisions of the 2017 Tax Act and whether such taxes 
are recorded as a current-period expense when incurred or whether such amounts should be factored into the measurement deferred 
taxes. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the 2017 Tax Act and will record any resulting adjustments to its 
provisional estimates during 2018, which may materially impact our income tax expense (benefit).

Workers’ compensation, auto, medical and general liability accruals. In accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies (“ASC 
450”), we record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be 
reasonably estimated. We review our loss contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure that we have appropriate reserves recorded 
on our balance sheet. These reserves are based on historical experience with claims incurred but not received, estimates and 
judgments made by management, applicable insurance coverage for litigation matters, and are adjusted as circumstances warrant. 
For workers’ compensation, our self-insured retention is $1.0 million and our automobile liability self-insured retention is currently 
$500,000 per occurrence. For general liability claims, we have an effective self-insured retention of $3.0 million per occurrence. 
For medical claims, our self-insured retention is $350,000 per individual claimant determined on an annual basis. For environmental 
liability claims, our self-insured retention is $1.0 million per occurrence. We maintain insurance for claims that exceed such self-
retention limits. The insurance is subject to terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that may not fully compensate us for all 
losses.  Our  estimates  and  judgments  could  change  based  on  new  information,  changes  in  laws  or  regulations,  changes  in 
management’s plans or intentions, or the outcome of legal proceedings, settlements or other factors. If different estimates and 
judgments were applied with respect to these matters, it is likely that reserves would be recorded for different amounts.

Allowance for doubtful accounts. In the ordinary course of business, a portion of our accounts receivable are not collected 
due to billing disputes, customer bankruptcies, dissatisfaction with the services we performed and other various reasons. We 
establish an allowance to account for those accounts receivable that we estimate will eventually be deemed uncollectible. The 

55

Table of Contents

allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of our historical experience and management’s review of long outstanding 
accounts receivable.

Concentration of credit risk. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of consolidated revenues.

Earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, 
income (loss) from discontinued operations or net income (loss) attributable to Team stockholders by the weighted-average number 
of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) 
from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations or net income (loss) attributable to Team stockholders, 
less income or loss for the period attributable to the noncontrolling interest, by the sum of (1) the weighted-average number of 
shares of common stock outstanding during the period, (2) the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of share-based compensation 
using the treasury stock method, (3) the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of our noncontrolling interest to our common 
stock prior to the acquisition of that interest and (4) the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of our convertible senior notes 
under the treasury stock method. The Company’s intent is to settle the principal amount of the convertible senior notes in cash 
upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, the Company may elect to deliver shares of its common 
stock with respect to the remainder of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount (the “conversion 
spread”). Accordingly, the conversion spread is included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per common 
share using the treasury stock method and the numerator is adjusted for any recorded gain or loss, net of tax, on the embedded 
derivative associated with the conversion feature.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, all outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from 
the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive due to the loss from continuing 
operations in those periods. Also, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the effect of our convertible senior notes was excluded 
from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share since the conversion price exceeded the average price of our common 
stock during the applicable period. For information on our convertible senior notes and our share-based compensation awards, 
refer to Note 9 and Note 11, respectively. There were no share-based awards outstanding during the seven months ended December 
31, 2015 and the year ended May 31, 2015 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the 
options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares during the periods.

On August 31, 2015, we issued 728,266 shares of restricted common stock and paid $5.9 million in cash to acquire the 
noncontrolling interest of Quest Integrity Group, LLC. Prior to August 31, 2015, these shares were included as dilutive securities 
in the earnings per share calculation as set forth above. 

Foreign currency. For subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at 
period ending rates of exchange and revenues and expenses are translated at period average exchange rates. Translation adjustments 
for the asset and liability accounts are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ 
equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in our statements of operations.

We utilize monthly foreign currency swap contracts to reduce exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates 
including, but not limited to, the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit and 
Mexican Peso. The impact from these swap contracts was not material as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 or for the years ended 
December 31, 2017 and 2016, the seven months ended December 31, 2015 and the year ended May 31, 2015.

Defined benefit pension plans. Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such 
amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality 
rates and retirement rates. These rates are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined 

56

 
 
Table of Contents

based on reference to yields. The expected return on plan assets is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review 
of asset allocation strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and 
correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration 
to recent plan performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality 
and retirement rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from 
the assumptions are accumulated and are subject to amortization over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized 
expense in future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes 
in assumptions may affect the pension obligation and future expense.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such 

reclassifications did not have any effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as previously reported.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

ASU  No. 2015-11.  In  July  2015,  the  FASB  issued Accounting  Standards  Update  (“ASU”)  No.  2015-11, Inventory—
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), which requires entities that measure inventory using the first-in, 
first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value to more closely align the 
measurement of inventory in GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. Net realizable value is defined as estimated 
selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Our 
adoption, on a prospective basis, of ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017 had no impact on our results of operations, financial position 
or cash flows.

ASU No. 2015-17. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of 
Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), which simplifies the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities 
be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result of our prospective adoption of ASU 2015-17 on January 1, 2017, all 
deferred tax assets and liabilities have been classified as noncurrent on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017, 
while our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 reflects classifications of deferred tax assets and liabilities in accordance 
with previous GAAP. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

ASU No. 2016-09. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation: Improvements 
to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which makes several modifications to GAAP related to share-
based payments including the accounting for forfeitures, employee taxes and the financial statement presentation and timing of 
recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. Specifically, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be 
recognized in the statements of operations as part of the provision for income tax (benefit) whereas previous guidance generally 
resulted in such amounts being recognized in additional paid-in capital. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows 
presentation for certain items associated with share-based awards. We adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. With respect to 
the requirement to recognize excess tax benefits or deficiencies in the statements of operations, we began recognizing such amounts, 
on a prospective basis, effective January 1, 2017 as a component of our provision (benefit) for income taxes as a discrete item. 
For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized $1.8 million of net tax benefit deficiencies in the consolidated statement 
of operations. Also, beginning prospectively on January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits, if any, from share-based awards are classified 
as  operating  activities  instead  of  financing  activities  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  cash  flows,  as  required  by  the ASU. 
Additionally, in connection with the adoption, we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $1.0 million that increased the 
opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2017, reflecting the recognition of certain excess tax benefits from share-
based awards that did not yet qualify for recognition under previous guidance. The adoption of the other requirements in ASU 
2016-09 had no impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ASU No. 2017-04. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): 
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-04, if an impairment of goodwill 
is indicated, entities were required to then calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to determine the amount of impairment 
loss. This procedure, referred to as the second step of the goodwill impairment test, required the determination of the fair value 
of the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit as if those assets and liabilities had been acquired/assumed in a business combination 
at the impairment testing date. ASU 2017-04 eliminated the second step and instead requires that the impairment loss be measured 
as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total 
amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 prospectively effective January 1, 
2017. Upon adoption, ASU 2017-04 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements, but we applied this new guidance to 
our 2017 goodwill impairment tests. 

Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted

Table of Contents

ASU  No. 2014-09.  In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers (“ASU 
2014-09”), which requires the Company to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of 
promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. Most of our 
contracts with customers are short-term in nature and billed on a time and materials basis, while certain other contracts are billed 
based upon a fixed price agreed upon in advance. For these fixed price contracts, we expect that ASU 2014-09 will generally result 
in the recognition of revenue as the services are provided compared to recognition of revenue at the time of completion of those 
contracts, under previous guidance. However, based on our current assessment of contracts with customers, we do not expect that 
the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will result in significant changes to the overall pattern or timing of our revenue recognition. However, 
to account for the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018, we expect to recognize a pre-tax 
increase to the opening balance of retained earnings of less than $10 million in the first quarter of 2018, pursuant to the modified 
retrospective transition method, with a corresponding increase to contract assets for certain fixed-price contracts that were not yet 
completed as of the date of adoption. Because we will apply the modified retrospective transition method of adoption, comparative 
periods prior to January 1, 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted to reflect adoption of ASU 2014-09.

ASU No. 2016-02. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which changes the 
accounting for leases, including a requirement to record essentially all leases on the consolidated balance sheets as assets and 
liabilities. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 effective January 
1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting, however we expect a 
significant amount of assets and liabilities will be recognized on our consolidated balance sheet upon adoption.

ASU No. 2016-13. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): 
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends GAAP by introducing a new impairment 
model for financial instruments that is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred credit losses. The new impairment 
model applies to most financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual 
reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2019,  although  it  may  be  adopted  one  year  earlier,  and  requires  a  modified 
retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting.

ASU No. 2016-15. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification 
of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which clarifies the classification in the statement of cash flows 
of certain items, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of contingent consideration arising from a business 
combination, insurance settlement proceeds, and cash receipts and payments having aspects of more than one class of cash flows. 
We will adopt ASU 2016-15 in the first quarter of 2018, but we do not expect such adoption will have a material impact on our 
statements of cash flows.

ASU No. 2016-16. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers 
of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”), which will require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an 
intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for the Company beginning 
January 1, 2018. Based on our current assessment of ASU 2016-16, at this time we do not anticipate that the adoption of this 
guidance in the first quarter of 2018 will result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-07. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits: Improving the 
Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”), which prescribes 
where in the statement of operations the components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost 
should be reported. Under ASU 2017-07, the service cost component is required to be reported in the same line or line items that 
other compensation costs of the associated employees are reported, while the other components are reported outside of operating 
income (loss). The changes in presentation in ASU 2017-07 are required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2018 
and are to be applied retrospectively. ASU 2017-07 will apply to the presentation, in our statements of operations, of the net 
periodic pension cost (credit) associated with our defined benefit pension plans, which are discussed in Note 12. We do not believe 
that the changes in presentation required under ASU 2017-07 will have a material impact on our results of operations, although 
we expect that most of our net periodic pension cost (credit) will be classified outside of operating income (loss) upon adoption.

ASU  No.  2017-09.  In  May  2017,  the  FASB  issued ASU  No.  2017-09,  Compensation–Stock  Compensation:  Scope  of 
Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-
based payment award require an entity apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Under ASU 2017-09, modification accounting 
is required unless the effect of the modification does not impact the award’s fair value, vesting conditions and its classification as 
an equity instrument or liability instrument. ASU 2017-09 is required to be adopted prospectively beginning in the first quarter 
of 2018. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on our share-based compensation expense.

ASU  No.  2017-12.  In August  2017,  the  FASB  issued ASU  2017-12,  Derivatives  and  Hedging  (Topic  815):  Targeted 
Improvements to Accounting for Hedge Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). This update makes certain targeted improvements to the 

58

Table of Contents

accounting and presentation of certain hedging relationships. For net investment hedges, ASU 2017-12 requires that the entire 
change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness be recorded in the currency 
translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income (loss). ASU 2017-12 is required to be adopted for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently 
evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting.

ASU No. 2018-02. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income 
(Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). ASU 
2018-02 introduces the option to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings the “stranded” 
tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (see Note 8). Under GAAP, certain deferred tax assets or liabilities may 
originate through income tax activity recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). However, because the adjustment of 
deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the reduction of the historical corporate income tax rate to the newly enacted corporate 
income tax rate is required to be included in income (loss) from continuing operations, the tax effects of items within accumulated 
other comprehensive income (loss) are not adjusted to reflect the new tax rate, resulting in “stranded” tax effects. ASU 2018-02 
provides an option to reclassify such tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. ASU 
2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption 
is permitted. We are currently evaluating whether to elect the option set forth in ASU 2018-02.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Furmanite.  In  November  2015, Team  and  Furmanite  Corporation  (now  Furmanite  LLC,  “Furmanite”)  entered  into  an 
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired all the outstanding shares of Furmanite 
in a stock transaction whereby Furmanite shareholders received 0.215 shares of Team common stock for each share of Furmanite 
common stock they owned. The merger was completed on February 29, 2016. Outstanding Furmanite share-based payment awards 
were generally converted into comparable share-based awards of Team, with certain awards vesting upon the closing of the merger, 
pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The combination doubled the size of Team’s mechanical services capabilities and established 
a  deeper,  broader  talent  and  resource  pool  that  better  supports  customers  across  standard  and  specialty  mechanical  services 
worldwide. 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $282.3 million, which consisted of the following (in 

thousands, except shares):

Common stock (8,208,006 shares) ..................................................................................................................... $
Converted share-based payment awards.............................................................................................................

Cash ....................................................................................................................................................................

Total consideration......................................................................................................................................... $

February 29, 2016
209,529

2,001

70,811

282,341

The fair value of the 8,208,006 common shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of our common 
shares on the acquisition date of February 29, 2016. The issuance of common stock in the acquisition is a non-cash financing 
activity that has been excluded from the consolidated statement of cash flows. The fair value of the converted share-based payment 
awards reflects an apportionment of the fair value of the awards, based on the closing market price of our common stock and other 
assumptions as of the acquisition date, that is attributable to employee service completed prior to the acquisition date. The fair 
value of the awards attributable to service after the acquisition date is recognized as share-based compensation expense over the 
applicable vesting periods. The cash consideration represents amounts Team paid, immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, 
to settle Furmanite’s outstanding debt and certain related liabilities, which were not assumed by Team. The cash portion of the 
consideration was financed through additional borrowings under our banking credit facility.

The purchase price allocation shown above is based upon the fair values at the acquisition date. The fair values recorded 

are “Level 3” measurements as defined in Note 10.

Of the $89.0 million of acquired intangible assets, $69.8 million was assigned to customer relationships with an estimated 
useful life of 12 years, $16.9 million was assigned to trade names with a weighted-average estimated useful life of 12 years and 
$2.3 million was assigned to developed technology with an estimated useful life of 10 years.

The $89.6 million of goodwill was assigned to the TeamFurmanite segment. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily 
to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Furmanite. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible 
for income tax purposes.

The fair value of accounts receivable acquired was $65.9 million, considering we expect $7.9 million to be uncollectible. 
Additionally, we acquired accounts receivable with a fair value of $13.6 million associated with discontinued operations, which 
is included in the current assets of discontinued operations line above. The gross contractual amount of receivables acquired was 
$88.0 million 

Current assets of discontinued operations as of the acquisition date also includes $3.3 million of goodwill and $1.6 million
of intangible assets that were allocated to a business that we sold in December 2016, as discussed in Note 15. The amount of 
current assets of discontinued operations acquired shown above is net of costs to sell of $1.1 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the seven months ended December 31, 2015, we recognized a total of $6.7 
million and $3.0 million, respectively, of acquisition costs related to the Furmanite acquisition, which were included in selling, 
general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes the activity of Furmanite beginning 
on the acquisition date of February 29, 2016. Subsequent to the acquisition date, we commenced integration activities relative to 
Furmanite. As a result, certain business operations have been consolidated and/or transferred from legacy Furmanite operations 
to legacy Team operations to facilitate the new operating structure. Revenues of $216 million and a net loss of $6.4 million are 
included in the year ended December 31, 2016 and only include operating results that are directly attributable to legacy Furmanite 

60

 
Table of Contents

operations. These amounts do not reflect any attempt to adjust for the effects of integration activities, which are not practicable 
to determine.

Certain  transactions  related  to  the  Furmanite  acquisition  were  recognized  separately  from  the  acquisition  of  assets  and 
assumption of liabilities in accordance with GAAP. These transactions, which were attributable to certain compensation (both 
cash and share-based) that was paid or became payable in conjunction with the closing of the acquisition, totaled $4.7 million and 
were recognized as selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2016. 

Our unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are shown below as if the acquisition of Furmanite had occurred 
on June 1, 2015. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would actually have occurred if the acquisition had 
taken place at June 1, 2015, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results (in thousands, except per share data).

These amounts have been calculated after applying Team’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Furmanite to

plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied on June 1, 2015, together with the related tax effects. Additionally, 
these pro forma results exclude discontinued operations as well as the impact of transaction and integration-related costs associated 
with the Furmanite acquisition included in the historical results.These pro forma results also assume the Qualspec acquisition, 
which is discussed below, had been completed as of June 1, 2014.

Qualspec. In July 2015, we acquired 100% of the membership interests in Qualspec for total cash consideration of $255.5 
million. Qualspec is a leading provider of NDT services in the U.S., with significant operations in the West Coast, Gulf Coast and 
Mid-Western areas of the country. Qualspec was primarily specialized in nested or run-and-maintain services and adds strength 
to our resident refinery inspection programs with major customer relationships across the U.S., as well as to our already strong 
capabilities in advanced inspection services, rope access services and the delivery of innovative technologies to our customers. 
The purchase of Qualspec was financed through borrowings under our banking credit facility.

The purchase price allocation shown above is based upon the fair values at the acquisition date. The fair values recorded 

are “Level 3” measurements as defined in Note 10.

Of the $78.1 million of acquired intangible assets, $75.2 million was assigned to customer relationships with an estimated 
useful life of 15 years, $1.6 million was assigned to non-compete agreements with an estimated useful life of 5 years and $1.3 
million was assigned to trade names with an estimated useful life of 1 year.

The $148.5 million of goodwill was assigned to the TeamQualspec segment. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily 
to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Qualspec. About $109.6 million of the goodwill is expected to be deductible 
for income tax purposes.

The fair value of accounts receivables acquired was $21.5 million, with the gross contractual amount being $22.5 million. 

We expect $1.0 million to be uncollectible.

Our consolidated results include the activity of Qualspec beginning on the acquisition date of July 7, 2015. Revenues of 
$79.3  million  and  net  income  of  $2.7  million  of  Qualspec  are  included  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  operations  (in  the 
TeamQualspec segment) for the seven months ended December 31, 2015. 

Our unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are shown below as if the acquisition of Qualspec had occurred

had taken place at June 1, 2014, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results (in thousands, except per share data).

the year ended May 31, 2015 was $35.7 million, $33.5 million, $13.9 million and $19.0 million, respectively.

At the end of 2013, we initiated the design and implementation of a new ERP system, which was substantially installed by 
the end of 2017. Amortization of the ERP system development costs began in March 2017 and is computed by the straight-line 
method. Through December 31, 2017, we have capitalized $46.6 million associated with the project that includes $1.6 million of 
capitalized interest, and we have recognized $2.6 million of amortization expense.

the year ended May 31, 2015 was, $16.5 million, $16.1 million, $5.5 million, and $3.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense 
for current intangible assets is forecast to be approximately $29 million in 2018, approximately $14 million per year in 2019 and 
2020 and approximately $13 million per year in 2021 and 2022. The increase in forecast amortization expense for 2018 is primarily 
due to a change in the estimated useful life of the Furmanite trade name, to be accounted for prospectively beginning January 1, 
2018. The weighted-average amortization period for intangible assets subject to amortization is 13.3 years as of December 31, 
2017. The weighted-average amortization period as of December 31, 2017 is 13.5 years for customer relationships, 4.5 years for 
non-compete agreements, 12.5 years for trade names, 9.6 years for technology and 9.3 years for licenses.

As of December 31, 2017, we had a valuation allowance of $26.2 million to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount 
more likely than not to be recovered. This valuation allowance relates primarily to deferred tax asset on U.S. net operating loss 
carry forwards in the amount of $19.8 million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more 
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets 
is  dependent  upon  the  generation  of  future  taxable  income  during  the  periods  in  which  those  temporary  differences  become 
deductible. We consider factors including the reversal of future taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income 
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

As of December 31, 2017, we had net foreign net operating loss carry forwards totaling $5.6 million that were expected 
to be realized in the future periods. A total of $2.2 million has an unlimited carry forward period and will therefore not expire.

At December 31, 2017, we also have net operating loss carry forwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $99.0 million, 
which are available, subject to certain limitations, to offset future taxable income, if any, through the year 2037. In addition, we 
have alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards of approximately $1.2 million which, under the 2017 Tax Act, can be used to 
offset regular income tax in future periods, and which is refundable for any tax year beginning after 2017 and before 2022 in an 
amount equal to 50% (100% for tax years beginning in 2021).

At December 31, 2017, none of our undistributed earnings of foreign operations were considered to be permanently reinvested 
overseas. As a result of the recent changes in U.S. tax law (the 2017 Tax Act, as further discussed below), we recorded a net tax 
benefit of $17.1 million reflecting the impact of a new foreign dividends-received deduction for U.S. tax purposes. The existence 
of this deduction under the new law has significantly reduced our requirement under ASC 740 to recognize a deferred tax liability 
for the future remittance of such earnings to the U.S. 

At December 31, 2017, we have established liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $1.2 million, inclusive of interest and 
penalties. To the extent these uncertainties are ultimately resolved favorably, the resulting reduction of recorded liabilities would 

68

 
 
Table of Contents

have an effect on our effective tax rate. In accordance with ASC 740-10, our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related 
to unrecognized tax benefits through the tax provision.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. with federal and state jurisdictions as well as various foreign jurisdictions. With few 
exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for 
years prior to 2015. We are currently in the examination phase of IRS audits for the tax years ended May 31, 2015 and December 
31, 2015. The income tax laws and regulations are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make certain 
subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our tax positions that may have a material effect on our results of operations, 
financial position or cash flows. We believe, however, that there is appropriate support for the income tax positions taken, and to 
be taken, on our returns, and that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on an assessment of many 
factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of the changes in our unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions

Recent Legislation - The 2017 Tax Act and SAB 118 Provisional Estimates

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the 2017 Tax Act, which significantly revises U.S. corporate income 
tax law by lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing 
a one-time tax on foreign unremitted earnings and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs (e.g., interest expense), 
among other changes.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the 2017 Tax Act, the SEC issued SAB 118, which requires that companies 
include in their financial statements reasonable estimates of the impact of the 2017 Tax Act to the extent such reasonable estimates 
have been determined. Accordingly, the Company recorded the following reasonable estimates of the tax impact of the new law 
in its statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017:

a)  The Company accrued a reasonable estimate of $8.4 million of tax expense (net of applicable foreign tax credits) for 
the 2017 Tax Act’s one-time transition tax on the foreign subsidiaries’ accumulated, unremitted earnings going back 
to 1986. The Company will elect to pay the transition tax in installments over the period of 8 years, pursuant to the 
guidance of the new Internal Revenue Code Section 965.

b)  The  Company  accrued  $17.4  million  of  provisional  tax  benefit  related  to  the  net  change  in  deferred  tax  balances 

stemming from the 2017 Tax Act’s reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate,

c)  The Company recorded a reasonable estimate of the state tax impact of the 2017 Tax Act, based on the current law in 

the states in the U.S in which it operates, and

d)  The Company calculated a reasonable estimate of the effect on certain deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company 
related to the 2017 Tax Act’s revised rules regarding certain incentive-based compensation tax deductions under Internal 
Revenue Code Section 162(m).

The 2017 Tax Act also includes a provision to tax GILTI of foreign subsidiaries and a BEAT measure that taxes certain 
payments between a U.S. corporation and its subsidiaries. The Company will be subject to the GILTI and BEAT provisions effective 

69

 
 
Table of Contents

beginning January 1, 2018 and is in the process of analyzing their effects, including how to account for the GILTI provision from 
an accounting policy standpoint.

The final impact on the Company from the 2017 Tax Act’s transition tax legislation may differ from the aforementioned 
reasonable estimate due to the complexity of calculating and supporting such U.S. tax attributes as accumulated foreign earnings 
and profits, foreign taxes paid and other tax components involved in foreign tax credit calculations for prior years back to 1986. 
The other provisional estimates outlined above may also change based on the various applications of the respective elements of 
the 2017 Tax Act, to the extent that they pertain to the provisional items disclosed herein. Such differences could be material, due 
to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the 2017 Tax Act, future changes in U.S. states’ tax laws related to the Act, 
future legislative action to address questions that arise because of the 2017 Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income 
taxes or related interpretations in response to the 2017 Tax Act or any updates or changes in estimates that the Company has utilized 
to calculate these reasonable estimates.

Pursuant to the SAB 118, the company is allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the 
2017 Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the 2017 Tax 
Act on our provisional estimates and will record any resulting tax adjustments during 2018.

Credit Facility

In July 2015, we renewed our banking credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). In accordance with the second amendment to 
the Credit Facility, which was signed in February 2016, the Credit Facility had a borrowing capacity of up to $600 million and 
consisted of a $400 million, five-year revolving loan facility and a $200 million five-year term loan facility. The swing line facility 
is $35.0 million. On July 31, 2017, we completed the issuance of $230.0 million of 5.00% convertible senior notes in a private 
offering and used the proceeds from the Offering (as defined below) to repay in full the outstanding term-loan portion of our Credit 
Facility and a portion of the outstanding revolving borrowings. Concurrent with the completion of the Offering and the repayment 
of outstanding borrowings discussed above, we entered into the sixth amendment to the Credit Facility, effective as of June 30, 
2017, which reduced the capacity of the Credit Facility to a $300 million revolving loan facility, subject to a borrowing availability 
test (based on eligible accounts, inventory and fixed assets). The Credit Facility matures in July 2020, bears interest based on a 
variable Eurodollar rate option (LIBOR plus 3.75% margin at December 31, 2017) and has commitment fees on unused borrowing 

70

 
 
Table of Contents

capacity (0.75% at December 31, 2017). The Credit Facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends without the consent of our 
bank syndicate.

The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was required to maintain (i) 
a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit 
Facility agreement) of not more than 4.25 to 1.00 and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Interest 
Coverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement). As of December 31, 2017, we are in compliance with these covenants. 
The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 3.53 to 1.00 and 3.03 to 1.00, respectively, as of 
December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, we had $26.6 million of cash on hand and approximately $41 million of available 
borrowing capacity through our Credit Facility. In connection with the repayment in full of the outstanding term-loan portion of 
our Credit Facility of $160.0 million on July 31, 2017 and the reduction in capacity of the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, 
we recorded a loss of $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2017 associated with the write-off of a portion of the debt issuance 
costs associated with the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, we had $2.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that 
are being amortized over the life of the Credit Facility.

We entered into the seventh amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Seventh Amendment”) on March 8, 2018 to modify 
certain of the financial covenants. The Seventh Amendment eliminated the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility 
agreement) covenant through the remainder of the term of the Credit Facility and also modified both the Senior Secured Leverage 
Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio as follows. First, the Company is required to maintain a maximum Senior Secured Leverage 
Ratio of not more 4.25 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, not more than 3.50 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2018 and 
each quarter thereafter through June 30, 2019 and not more than 2.75 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019 and each quarter thereafter. 
With respect to the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of not less than 2.25 to 1.00 as of March 
31, 2018 and each quarter thereafter through December 31, 2018 and not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019 and each 
quarter thereafter. 

 Our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants is dependent upon our future operating performance and 
future financial condition, both of which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that 
we will be able to maintain compliance with the Credit Facility covenants as of any future date. In the event we are unable to 
maintain compliance with our financial covenants, we would seek to enter into an amendment to the Credit Facility with our bank 
group in order to modify and/or to provide relief from the financial covenants for an additional period of time. Although we have 
entered into amendments in the past, there can be no assurance that any future amendments would be available on terms acceptable 
to us, if at all. 

In order to secure our casualty insurance programs we are required to post letters of credit generally issued by a bank as 
collateral. A letter of credit commits the issuer to remit specified amounts to the holder, if the holder demonstrates that we failed 
to meet our obligations under the letter of credit. If this were to occur, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer for any 
payments the issuer was required to remit to the holder of the letter of credit. We were contingently liable for outstanding stand-
by letters of credit totaling $22.5 million at December 31, 2017 and $21.6 million at December 31, 2016. Outstanding letters of 
credit reduce amounts available under our Credit Facility and are considered as having been funded for purposes of calculating 
our financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Convertible Debt

Description of the Notes

On July 31, 2017, we issued $230.0 million principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) 
in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933) pursuant to Rule 144A under the 
Securities Act (the “Offering”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes bear interest at rate of 
5.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2018. The 
Notes mature on August 1, 2023 unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 
Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 46.0829 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 
Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.70 per share, which represents a conversion premium 
of 40% to the last reported sale price of $15.50 per share on the NYSE on July 25, 2017, the date the pricing of the Notes was 
completed. The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances as described in the 
indenture governing the Notes. 

Holders may convert their Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding 

May 1, 2023, but only under the following circumstances:

71

 
 
Table of Contents

(cid:149) 

(cid:149) 

(cid:149) 

(cid:149) 

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2017 (and only during 
such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not 
consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding 
calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which 
the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 
98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day;

if we call any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately 
preceding the redemption date; or;

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the indenture governing the Notes.

On or after May 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders 

may, at their option, convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Because the Notes could be convertible in full into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock, we are 
required by the listing rules of the NYSE to obtain the approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock before 
the Notes may be converted into more than 5,964,858 shares of common stock. The Notes are initially convertible into 10,599,067
shares of common stock. We have agreed to seek approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock at our next 
annual stockholders’ meeting. The Notes will be convertible into, subject to various conditions, cash or shares of the Company’s 
common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case, at the Company’s election, 
except that prior to receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, the Company will settle conversions in cash or a combination of 
cash and shares of common stock.

If holders elect to convert the Notes in connection with certain fundamental change transactions described in the indenture 
governing the Notes, we will, under certain circumstances described in the indenture governing the Notes, increase the conversion 
rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion.

We may not redeem the Notes prior to August 5, 2021. We will have the option to redeem all or any portion of the Notes on 
or after August 5, 2021, if certain conditions (including that our common stock is trading at or above 130% of the conversion price 
then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive)), including the trading day immediately preceding the date 
on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, 
the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal 
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption 
date.

Net proceeds received from the Offering were approximately $222.3 million after deducting discounts, commissions and 
expenses. We used $160.0 million of the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under the term-loan portion of our 
Credit Facility and $62.3 million of the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion 
of our Credit Facility, which may be subsequently reborrowed for general corporate purposes.

Included in the Long-term debt line of the consolidated balance sheet.
Included in the Additional paid-in capital line of the consolidated balance sheet.

Under ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, (“ASC 470-20”), an entity must separately account for the 
liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion 
(such as the Notes) in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. However, entities must first consider the guidance 
in ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”), to determine if an instrument contains an embedded feature that should 
be separately accounted for as a derivative. Unless an exception under ASC 815-15 applies, such accounting requires that an 
embedded feature that is not “clearly and closely related” to the host contract be accounted for separately as a derivative and 
marked to fair value in the statement of operations each period. The Company concluded that the conversion feature is not “clearly 
and closely related” to the debt host contract. However, ASC 815-15 provides an exception for embedded features that are considered 
both indexed to our common stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. Because the Notes permit the Company to settle the 
conversion feature in cash, stock or any combination thereof at its election, ordinarily the conversion feature would be considered 
both indexed to our common stock and classified in stockholders’ equity and therefore exempt from the requirements of ASC 
815-15. However, because the Notes could be convertible into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock and 
shareholder approval in accordance with the NYSE rules (as described above) to issue more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding 
common stock has not yet been obtained, the Company could be required to settle the conversion feature for a portion of the Notes 
in cash instead of shares. Therefore, the conversion feature for a portion of the Notes cannot be classified in stockholders’ equity 
and therefore the exception under ASC 815-15 does not apply. As such, the Company concluded that for a portion of the Notes, 
it must recognize as an embedded derivative under ASC 815-15 while the remainder of the Notes are subject to ASC 470-20. 

The Company determined the portions of the Notes subject to ASC 815-15 and ASC 470-20 as follows. First, while the 
Notes are initially convertible into 10,599,067 shares of common stock, the occurrence of certain corporate events could increase 
the conversion rate, which could result in the Notes becoming convertible into a maximum of 14,838,703 shares. As noted above, 
we must obtain stockholder approval to issue more than 5,964,858 shares of stock to settle the Notes upon conversion. Therefore, 
approximately 40% of the maximum number of shares is authorized for issuance without shareholder approval, while 8,873,845
shares, or approximately 60% would be required to be settled in cash. The Company thus concluded that embedded derivative 
accounting under ASC 815-15 is applicable to approximately 60% of the Notes, while the remaining 40% of the Notes are subject 
to ASC 470-20. The Company will reassess the classification of the Notes each reporting period considering changes in facts and 
circumstances, if any. Once (and if) we receive stockholder approval to issue more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common 
stock upon conversion of the Notes, we will reclassify the embedded derivative, at its then-current fair value, to stockholders’ 
equity, and it will no longer be marked to fair value each period. 

We estimated the fair value of similar notes without the conversion feature to be $194.2 million, with the resulting conversion 
feature having an estimated fair value of $35.8 million at the issuance date. For the portion of the Notes subject to ASC 815-15, 
we recorded an embedded derivative liability at fair value of $21.4 million and for the portion of the Notes subject to ASC 470-20, 
we recorded $14.4 million as additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. The fair values recorded are “Level 2” measurements 
as defined in Note 10. The difference between the principal amount of the Notes and the amounts allocated to the embedded 
derivative liability and additional paid-in capital resulted in a debt discount of $35.8 million that is amortized as interest expense 
over 72 months (the six-year period from issuance to maturity of the Notes). 

73

Table of Contents

The Company incurred approximately $7.7 million in issuance costs associated with the Notes. Issuance costs of $7.2 million
were allocated as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt while the remaining $0.5 million were allocated as a reduction 
to additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. The portion allocated to the debt component is being amortized over the life 
of the debt. As of December 31, 2017, the remaining amortization period is 67 months.

Derivatives and Hedging

ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), requires that derivative instruments be recorded at fair value and included 
in the balance sheet as assets or liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the 
intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation, which is established at the inception date of a derivative. Special 
accounting for derivatives qualifying as fair value hedges allows derivatives’ gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged 
item in the statement of operations. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value, to the extent 
the hedge is effective, are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Hedge 
effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative cumulative changes in fair value between the derivative contract 
and the hedged item over time. Credit risks related to derivatives include the possibility that the counter-party will not fulfill the 
terms of the contract. We consider counterparty credit risk to our derivative contracts when valuing our derivative instruments.

Our borrowing of €12.3 million under the Credit Facility serves as an economic hedge of our net investment in our European 
operations as fluctuations in the fair value of the borrowing attributable to the U.S. Dollar/Euro spot rate will offset translation 
gains or losses attributable to our investment in our European operations. At December 31, 2017 the €12.3 million borrowing had 
a U.S. Dollar value of $14.8 million.

As discussed above, we have recorded an embedded derivative for a portion of the Notes. The embedded derivative represents 
conversion features to the purchasers of the Notes that provide an opportunity to profit if the value of the shares that may be 
attained from the conversion of the Notes is higher than the redemption amount of the Notes. In accordance with ASC 815-15, 
the embedded derivative instrument is recorded at fair value each period with changes in fair value reflected in our results of 
operations. No hedge accounting is applied.

respectively.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We apply the provisions of ASC 820, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities 

carried at fair value.

As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an 
orderly  transaction  between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date. We  utilize  market  data  or  assumptions  that  market 
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the 
valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We primarily apply 
the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best information available. Accordingly, 
we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The use 
of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for fair value determinations in situations in which there is little, if any, market activity 
for the asset or liability at the measurement date. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those 
inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy such that “Level 1” measurements include unadjusted quoted market prices for 
identical assets or liabilities in an active market, “Level 2” measurements include quoted market prices for identical assets or 
liabilities in an active market which have been adjusted for items such as effects of restrictions for transferability and those that 
are not quoted but are observable through corroboration with observable market data, including quoted market prices for similar 
assets, and “Level 3” measurements include those that are unobservable and of a highly subjective measure.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted 
for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities 
are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands):

Inclusive of both current and noncurrent portions.

There were no transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. 

The fair value of the convertible debt embedded derivative liability is estimated using a lattice model with inputs including 
our stock price, our stock price volatility and interest rates. As the assumptions used in the valuation are primarily derived from 
observable market data, the fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities classified in the table above were estimated using a discounted cash 
flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement 
as defined in ASC 820. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity include a combination 
of  actual  cash  flows  and  probability-weighted  assessments  of  expected  future  cash  flows  related  to  the  acquired  businesses, 
appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and as calculated in accordance with the 
terms of the acquisition agreements.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have adopted stock incentive plans and other arrangements pursuant to which our Board of Directors (the “Board”) may 
grant stock options, restricted stock, stock units, stock appreciation rights, common stock or performance awards to officers, 
directors and key employees. At December 31, 2017, there were approximately 1.1 million stock options, restricted stock units 
and performance awards outstanding to officers, directors and key employees. The exercise price, terms and other conditions 
applicable to each form of share-based compensation under our plans are generally determined by the Compensation Committee 
of our Board at the time of grant and may vary.

Our share-based payments consist primarily of stock units, performance awards, common stock and stock options. In May 
2016, our shareholders approved the 2016 Team, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which replaced all of our previous equity 
compensation plans. The Plan authorizes the issuance of share-based awards representing up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock.  
Shares issued in connection with our share-based compensation are issued out of authorized but unissued common stock.

In connection with the acquisition of Furmanite in February 2016, we assumed the share plan related to Furmanite employee 
grants. As provided for in the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase Furmanite common stock outstanding immediately prior 
to the closing of the acquisition was converted into an option to purchase Team common stock, adjusted by the 0.215 exchange 
ratio. Similarly, each previously existing Furmanite restricted share, restricted stock unit or performance stock unit outstanding 
immediately prior to the acquisition were converted into Team restricted stock units, also at the 0.215 exchange ratio. The converted 
awards generally have the same terms and conditions as the replaced awards, except the vesting of certain awards was accelerated 
77

 
 
Table of Contents

to the acquisition date and any performance conditions associated with the Furmanite awards no longer apply. The fair value of 
the options was determined using a Black-Scholes model, while the fair value of the restricted stock units was determined based 
on the market price on the acquisition date. The fair value of the converted Furmanite awards was allocated between consideration 
transferred in the acquisition and future share-based compensation expense, based on past service completed and future service 
required. The converted Furmanite awards have been identified, as applicable, in the tables that follow.

Compensation expense related to share-based compensation totaled $7.9 million, $7.3 million, $3.5 million and $4.8 million
for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the seven months ended December 31, 2015 and the year ended May 31, 2015, 
respectively. Share-based compensation expense reflects an estimate of expected forfeitures. At December 31, 2017, $16.9 million 
of  unrecognized  compensation  expense  related  to  share-based  compensation  is  expected  to  be  recognized  over  a  remaining 
weighted-average period of 2.7 years. The excess tax benefit (deficiency) derived when share-based awards result in a tax deduction 
for the company was $(1.8) million, $(0.5) million, $0.4 million, and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 
2016, the seven months ended December 31, 2015 and the year ended May 31, 2015, respectively.

Stock units are settled with common stock upon vesting unless it is not legally feasible to issue shares, in which case the 
value of the award is settled in cash. We determine the fair value of each stock unit based on the market price on the date of grant. 
Stock units generally vest in annual installments over four years and the expense associated with the units is recognized over the 
same vesting period. We also grant common stock to our directors which typically vests immediately. Compensation expense 
related to stock units and director stock grants totaled $7.1 million, $7.2 million, $3.0 million and $4.1 million for the years ended 
December 31,  2017  and  2016,  the  seven  months  ended  December 31,  2015  and  the  year  ended  May 31,  2015,  respectively.

We have a performance stock unit award program whereby we grant Long-Term Performance Stock Unit (“LTPSU”) awards 
to our executive officers. Under this program, the Company communicates “target awards” to the executive officers at the beginning 
of a performance period. LTPSU awards cliff vest with the achievement of the performance goals and completion of the required 
service period. Settlement occurs with common stock as soon as practicable following the vesting date. LTPSU awards granted 
on November 4, 2014 and October 15, 2015 are subject to a three-year performance period and a concurrent three-year service 
period. The performance target is based on results of operations over the three-year performance period with possible payouts 

78

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

ranging from 0% to 300% of the “target awards.” LTPSU awards granted on March 15, 2017 are subject to a two-year performance 
period and a concurrent two-year service period. For these awards, the performance goal is separated into three independent 
performance factors based on (i) relative shareholder total return (“RTSR”) as measured against a designated peer group, (ii) RTSR 
as measured against a designated index and (iii) results of operations over the two-year performance period, with possible payouts 
ranging from 0% to 200% of the “target awards” for the first two performance factors and ranging from 0% to 300% of the “target 
awards” for the third performance factor. 

We determine the fair value of each LTPSU award based on the market price on the date of grant. However, for the portion 
of the LTPSU awards that are subject to the RTSR performance factors, we determine the fair value of that portion of the award 
based on the results of a Monte Carlo simulation, which uses market-based inputs as of the date of grant to simulate future stock 
returns. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. For LTPSU awards (or portions thereof) 
subject to a results of operations performance goal, compensation expense is recognized based upon the performance target that 
is probable of being met. For the portion of LTPSU awards subject to the RTSR performance factors, because the expected outcome 
is incorporated into the grant date fair value, compensation expense is not subsequently adjusted for changes in the expected or 
actual performance outcome. Compensation expense (credit) related to performance awards totaled $0.8 million, $(0.4) million, 
$0.3 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the seven months ended December 31, 2015 and 
the year ended May 31, 2015, respectively. Transactions involving our performance awards are summarized below:

Performance awards are settled with common stock upon vesting unless it is not legally feasible to issue shares, in which 
case the value of the award is settled in cash. We determine the fair value of each performance award based on the market price 
on the date of grant. Performance awards were previously granted to our Chairman of our Board and were to vest over the longer 
of four years or the achievement of performance goals based upon our future results of operations. Compensation expense related 
to performance awards was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, $0.5 million for seven months ended December 31, 
2015 and $0.6 million for the year ended May 31, 2015. Transactions involving our performance awards are summarized below:

We determine the fair value of each stock option at the grant date using a Black-Scholes model and recognize the resulting 
expense of our stock option awards over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the 
awards, usually the vesting period. There was less than $0.1 million in compensation expense related to stock options for the year 
ended December 31, 2017 and $0.2 million of expense for the year ended December 31, 2016, but none for the seven months 
ended December 31, 2015 or the year ended May 31, 2015, as all stock option awards were fully vested. Our options typically 
vest in equal annual installments over a four-year service period. Expense related to an option grant is recognized on a straight-
line basis over the specified vesting period for those options. Stock options generally have a ten-year term. Transactions involving 
our stock options are summarized below:

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined contribution plan. Under the Team, Inc. Salary Deferral Plan (the “Plan”), contributions are made to the Plan by 
qualified employees at their election and our matching contributions to the Plan are made at specified rates. Our contributions to 
the Plan in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the seven months ended December 31, 2015 and the year ended May 31, 
2015, were approximately $10.4 million, $7.1 million, $3.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

Defined benefit plans. In connection with our acquisition of Furmanite, we assumed liabilities associated with the defined 
benefit pension plans of two foreign subsidiaries, one plan covering certain United Kingdom employees (the “U.K. Plan”) and 
the  other  covering  certain  of  its  Norwegian  employees  (the  “Norwegian  Plan”).  As  the  Norwegian  Plan  represents 
approximately one percent of both the Company’s total pension plan liabilities and total pension plan assets, only the schedules 
of net periodic pension cost (credit) and changes in benefit obligation and plan assets include combined amounts from the two 
plans, while assumption and narrative information relates solely to the U.K. Plan. 

Benefits for the U.K. Plan are based on the average of the employee’s salary for the last three years of employment. The 
U.K. Plan has had no new participants added since the plan was frozen in 1994 and accruals for future benefits ceased in connection 
with a plan curtailment in 2013. Plan assets are primarily invested in unitized pension funds managed by U.K. registered fund 
managers. The most recent valuation of the U.K. Plan was performed as of December 31, 2017. Estimated defined benefit pension 
plan contributions for 2018 are expected to be approximately $2.4 million. We expect a similar level of annual contributions 
through 2032 as a result of certain funding commitments.

Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions 
include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. The discount 
rate assumption used to determine end of year benefit obligations was 2.5% as of December 31, 2017. These rates are reviewed 
annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined appropriate based on reference to yields. The 
expected return on plan assets of 4.7% for 2018 is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review of asset allocation 
strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations of 
returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration to recent plan 
performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality and retirement 
rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions 
are accumulated and are subject to amortization over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense in future 
periods. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in 
assumptions may affect the pension obligation and future expense.

The plan actuary determines the expected return on plan assets based on a combination of expected yields on equity securities 

and corporate bonds and considering historical returns.

The expected long-term rate of return on invested assets for 2018 is determined based on the weighted average of expected 

returns on asset investment categories as follows: 4.7% overall, 5.8% for equities and 1.8% for debt securities.

The net asset value of the commingled equity and fixed income funds are determined by prices of the underlying securities, less the 
funds’ liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. As the funds are not traded in active markets, the commingled 
funds are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 assets. The net asset value is corroborated by observable market data (e.g., purchase or sale 
activities) for Level 2 assets.

(cid:149) 

(cid:149) 

optimize the long-term return on plan assets at an acceptable level of risk

maintain a broad diversification across asset classes

maintain careful control of the risk level within each asset class

The trustees of the U.K. Plan have established a long-term investment strategy comprising global investment weightings 
targeted at 65% (range of 60% to 70%) for equity securities/diversified growth funds and 35% (range of 30% to 40%) for debt 
securities. Diversified growth funds are actively managed absolute return funds that hold a combination of debt and equity securities. 
Selection of the targeted asset allocation was based upon a review of the expected return and risk characteristics of each asset 
class, as well as the correlation of returns among asset classes. Actual allocations to each asset class vary from target allocations 
due to periodic investment strategy changes, market value fluctuations and the timing of benefit payments and contributions.

The following table sets forth the weighted-average asset allocation and target asset allocations as of December 31, 2017

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Con Ed Matter. We have, from time to time, provided temporary leak repair services to the steam system of Consolidated 
Edison Company of New York (“Con Ed”) located in New York City. In July 2007, a Con Ed steam main located in midtown 
Manhattan ruptured resulting in one death and other injuries and property damage. As of December 31, 2017, sixty-eight lawsuits 
are currently pending against Con Ed, the City of New York and Team in the Supreme Court of New York, alleging that our 
temporary leak repair services may have contributed to the cause of the rupture, allegations which we dispute. The lawsuits seek 
generally unspecified compensatory damages for personal injury, property damage and business interruption. Additionally, Con 
Ed is alleging that our contract with Con Ed requires us to fully indemnify and defend Con Ed for all claims asserted against Con 
Ed including those amounts that Con Ed has paid to settle with certain plaintiffs for undisclosed sums as well as Con Ed’s own 
alleged damages to its infrastructure. Con Ed filed an action to join Team and the City of New York as defendants in all lawsuits 
filed against Con Ed that did not include Team and the City of New York as direct defendants. We are vigorously defending the 
lawsuits and Con Ed’s claim for indemnification. We are unable to estimate the amount of liability to us, if any, associated with 
these lawsuits and the claim for indemnification. We filed a motion to dismiss in April 2016. We maintain insurance coverage, 
subject to a deductible limit of $250,000, which we believe should cover these claims. We have not accrued any liability in excess 
of the deductible limit for the lawsuits. We do not believe the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect 
on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Patent Infringement Matters. In December 2014, our subsidiary, Quest Integrity Group, LLC, filed three patent infringement 
lawsuits against three different defendants, two in the U.S. District of Delaware (the “Delaware Cases”) and one in the U.S. District 
of Western Washington (“Washington Case”). Quest Integrity alleges that the three defendants infringed Quest Integrity’s patent, 
entitled “2D and 3D Display System and Method for Furnace Tube Inspection”. This Quest Integrity patent generally teaches a 
system and method for displaying inspection data collected during the inspection of furnace tubes in petroleum and petro-chemical 
refineries. The subject patent litigation is specific to the visual display of the collected data and does not relate to Quest Integrity’s 
underlying advanced inspection technology. In these lawsuits Quest Integrity is seeking temporary and permanent injunctive relief, 
as well as monetary damages. Defendants have denied they infringe any valid claim of Quest Integrity’s patent, and have asserted 
declaratory judgment counterclaims that the patent at issue is invalid and/or unenforceable, and not infringed. In June 2015, the 
U.S. District of Delaware denied our motions for preliminary injunctive relief in the Delaware Cases (that is, our request that the 
defendants stop using our patented systems and methods during the pendency of the actions). In March 2017, the judge in the 
Delaware Cases granted summary judgment against Quest Integrity, finding certain patent claims of the asserted patent invalid. 
In August 2017, the judge in the Washington Case granted summary judgment against Quest Integrity based on the Delaware 
Cases ruling. Quest Integrity is in the process of appealing both Delaware Cases and the Washington Case.

We are involved in various other lawsuits and are subject to various claims and proceedings encountered in the normal 
conduct of business. In our opinion, any uninsured losses that might arise from these lawsuits and proceedings will not have a 
materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We establish a liability for loss contingencies, when information available to us indicates that it is probable that a liability 

has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

14. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DISCLOSURES

ASC  280,  Segment  Reporting,  requires  we  disclose  certain  information  about  our  operating  segments  where  operating 
segments are defined as “components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated 
regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.” We conduct 
operations in three segments: TeamQualspec Group, TeamFurmanite Group and Quest Integrity Group. All three operating segments 
operate under a business segment manager who reports directly to Team’s Chief Executive Officer who operates as the chief 
operating decision maker. Furmanite, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2016 (see Note 2), is included in the TeamFurmanite 
segment, except that Furmanite’s corporate-related activities are included within corporate and shared support services in the tables 
below. Discontinued operations are not allocated to the segments. Segment data for our three operating segments are as follows

15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As  part  of  our  acquisition  of  Furmanite,  we  acquired  a  pipeline  inspection  business  that  primarily  performed  process 
management inspection services to contractors and operators participating primarily in the midstream oil and gas market in the 
U.S. We previously concluded that this business was not a strategic fit for Team and we completed the sale of business in December 
2016. Proceeds from the sale were $13.3 million cash (net of costs to sell) and a $1.5 million principal amount of a note from the 
buyer that bears interest at a 5% stated rate per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, with the principal amount due in full at maturity 
in January 2020. 

We concluded that this business qualified as a discontinued operation upon its acquisition under GAAP. Therefore, we 
classified the operating results as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations. Discontinued operations 
does not include any allocation of corporate overhead expense or interest expense. Due to the acquisition of this business and the 
completion of its sale all within the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, there are no assets or liabilities of discontinued 
operations reported as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2017 or 2016. For information about the 
assets and liabilities of discontinued operations acquired in the Furmanite acquisition, see Note 2.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, from the date of the Furmanite acquisition, consists of the following

The provision for income taxes on discontinued operations includes the effect of a permanent difference associated with 

non-deductible goodwill that was derecognized as part of the disposal transaction.

Cash flows attributable to our discontinued operations are included in our statements of consolidated cash flows. For the 
year ended December 31, 2016, there were no material amounts of depreciation, amortization, capital expenditures or significant 
operating non-cash items related to discontinued operations. The $1.5 million principal amount note receivable from the buyer, 
which was part of the consideration received from the sale of discontinued operations, is a non-cash investing activity.

Furmanite  Belgium  and  Netherlands  Exit.  Due  to  continued  economic  softness  and  unfavorable  costs  structures,  we 
committed to a plan to exit the acquired Furmanite operations in Belgium and the Netherlands in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 
communicated the plan to the affected employees. The closures are now essentially complete. During the year ended December 
31, 2017, we recorded a reduction to severance costs of $0.2 million and a disposal gain of $1.1 million. The disposal gain resulted 
from an asset sale of the Furmanite operations in Belgium, which was completed during the first quarter of 2017, whereby we 
conveyed the business operations, $0.3 million of cash and approximately $0.2 million of other assets to the purchaser in exchange 
for the assumption by the purchaser of certain liabilities, primarily severance-related liabilities of $1.6 million associated with the 
employees who transferred to the purchaser in connection with the transaction. 

A rollforward of our accrued severance liability associated with the Belgium and Netherlands exit is presented below (in 

thousands):

With respect to these exit activities, to date we have incurred cumulatively $4.7 million of severance-related costs and an 

impairment loss on property, plant and equipment of $0.7 million, partially offset by a disposal gain of $1.1 million. 

2017 Cost Savings Initiative. On July 24, 2017, we announced our commitment to a cost savings initiative to take direct 
actions to reduce our overall cost structure given the recent weak and uncertain macro environment in the industries in which we 
operate. The resulting severance and related charges of this initiative amounted to $3.9 million during the year ended December 
31, 2017.

With respect to this initiative, to date we have incurred cumulatively $3.9 million in severance and related expenses. Although 
this cost savings initiative is largely complete, the Company is continuing a comprehensive assessment of its operating plan, which 
could result in additional initiatives.

17. VENEZUELAN OPERATIONS

In June 2015, we disposed of our Venezuelan operations and realized no gain or loss from the transaction. Our annual 
revenues  have  historically  been  less  than  one  percent  of  our  consolidated  revenues  for  all  periods  presented.  Because  of  the 
uncertain political environment in Venezuela, starting in the quarter ended February 28, 2010, we began to account for Venezuelan 
operations pursuant to accounting guidance for hyperinflationary economies. Following the designation of the Venezuelan economy 
as hyperinflationary, we ceased taking the effects of currency fluctuations to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and 
began reflecting all effects as a component of non-operating income (loss) in our consolidated statements of operations.

Prior to February 1, 2015, we included the results of our Venezuelan operations in our consolidated financial statements 
using the consolidation method of accounting. Venezuelan exchange control regulations resulted in an other-than-temporary lack 
of  exchangeability  between  the Venezuelan  Bolivar  and  U.S. Dollar,  and  restricted  our Venezuelan  operations’  ability  to  pay 
dividends and obligations denominated in U.S. Dollars. These exchange regulations, combined with other Venezuelan regulations, 
constrained equipment availability and significantly limited our Venezuelan operations’ ability to maintain normal operations. As 
a result of these conditions, and in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, we began reporting the results of our Venezuelan 
operations using the cost method of accounting. The change, which we made effective February 1, 2015, resulted in a pre-tax 
charge of $1.2 million for the year ended May 31, 2015.

19. ISSUANCE AND REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

At-the-Market Equity Issuance Program. On November 28, 2016, we filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, to our 
October 2016 shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), under which we could have sold up 
to $150.0 million of our common stock through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). Through 
December 31, 2016, we sold 167,931 shares of common stock under the ATM Program. The net proceeds from such sales were 
$6.0 million after deducting the aggregate commissions paid of approximately $0.1 million and were used to reduce outstanding 
indebtedness. No shares of common stock were sold under the ATM Program during 2017. 

On July 31, 2017, we delivered written notice to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Raymond James & 
Associates,  Inc.  and  SunTrust  Robinson  Humphrey,  Inc.  (collectively,  the  “Agents”)  of  our  termination  of  the ATM  Equity 
OfferingSM Sales Agreement, dated November 28, 2016 (the “Sales Agreement”), pursuant to Section 9(a) thereof. The Sales 
Agreement was terminable by us or the Agents for any reason at any time without penalty upon three days’ written notice to the 
other party. 

In connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement and the commencement of the ATM Program, we capitalized 
costs totaling $0.7 million, substantially all of which was written off to selling, general and administrative expense in 2017 after 
the cancellation of the ATM Program.

Common Stock Repurchase Plan. On June 23, 2014, our Board authorized an increase in the stock repurchase plan limit 
to $50.0 million (less $13.3 million repurchased previously). During year ended May 31, 2015, we repurchased 546,977 shares 
for a total cost of $21.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we repurchased 274,110 shares for a total cost of $7.6 
million. In the fourth quarter of 2016, these 821,087 shares were retired and are not included in common stock issued and outstanding 
as of December 31, 2016. The retirement of the shares resulted in a reduction in common stock of $0.2 million, a reduction of 
$9.1 million to additional paid-in capital, and a $19.4 million reduction to retained earnings. No shares were repurchased during 
the year ended December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, $7.9 million remained available to repurchase shares under the stock 
repurchase plan. 

Under the Credit Facility, the Company is limited in its ability to make stock repurchases unless the Total Leverage Ratio 
is below 2.50 to 1.00. Notwithstanding such provision, in the event that after giving pro forma effect to such repurchase, if Liquidity 
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) is at least $15.0 million and the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, 
the Credit Facility generally permits the Company to make stock repurchases provided that such repurchases, plus any payments 
of cash dividends, do not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.

The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over 
financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons 
performing the equivalent functions):

All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting 
which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial 
information; and

Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the 
registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
