Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

2018 was a year of recovery for Team as we executed on a number of strategic initiatives while the industry 
continued to make some positive strides. We defined our new strategic direction and aligned our organization 
accordingly. Looking back on the year, we accomplished a lot in a short period of time, including the following 
financial and operational achievements: 

1.  Growing  year-over-year  revenues  organically  by  4%  to  $1.25  billion  and  Adjusted  EBITDA1  by  37%  and 

generating over $65 million of free cash flow over 2017; 

2.  Reducing  our  outstanding  debt,  strengthening  our  balance  sheet,  and  securing  financial  flexibility  and 

resources to support our strategic growth plan; and  

3.  Executing on the OneTEAM integration and transformation program by:

 

restructuring our organization and internal processes,  
leveraging our competitive position within our existing footprint,  
diversifying and cross-selling our proprietary capabilities, and  
expanding our client base and services. 

All three segments – Inspection & Heat Treating (IHT), Mechanical Services (MS), and Quest Integrity –delivered 
higher year-over-year revenues, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Full-year 2018 revenue improvements 
reflected higher activity levels and were led by our two inspection and assessment segments, IHT and Quest 
Integrity, which increased 5% and 19%, respectively. Quest achieved record annual revenues for the second 
year in a row and increased its operating income by 63%.  

Our focus on cash flow generation led to a $65 million increase over 2017, realizing $15 million of positive free 
cash  flow  in  2018.  As  we  had  previously  committed,  this  free  cash  flow  was  used  to  repay  $19.7  million  in 
outstanding debt, which improved our credit facility leverage ratio to 2.6x at the end of 2018 compared to 3.5x at 
the end of 2017. 

Laying the Foundation 
To strengthen our foundation for future success, we officially launched the OneTEAM program in March of 2018. 
The  OneTEAM  integration  and  transformation  program  leverages  our  strategic  advantages  as  a  company 
through revenue enhancement, operations improvement and center-led functional support. These performance 
improvement initiatives are designed with the goal of enhancing execution excellence, profitability and cash flow.  

In the first nine months of the program, we successfully achieved the following milestones in our transformational journey: 

 

Launched  a  run-rate  cost  savings  –  across  the  operations  and  center-led  pillars  –  of  approximately 
$35 to $40 million; 

  Realigned the safety organization to enhance focus and accountability; 
  Deployed  a  centralized  Commercial  organization  to  drive  pricing  standardization,  sales  and  account 

management and strategic cross-selling across our segments; 

  Established a Product and Service line organization to strengthen our standardization of work practices, 

technology and value positioning and pricing strategies; 

  Refreshed our executive team with seasoned industry leaders in critical positions; 
  Enhanced our Human Resources organization to deliver improved talent management, benefits, training 

and communication; and 

  Deployed  the  global  Workforce  Management  function  to  both  IHT  and  MS  businesses  for  better 

technician utilization through project and resource planning. 

We  are  very  pleased  with  the  progress  of  OneTEAM,  which  represents  a  multi-year  program  to  align  all 
employees, districts, and support services around a common strategy to target profitable revenue growth and 
productivity improvements. 

Safety First, Quality Always 
We  are  committed  to  achieving  best-in-class  safety  performance.  Achieving  and  sustaining  improved  safety 
performance across the Company is our most important objective. Through focused district safety audits and the 
deployment of our fleet monitoring systems, we decreased our recordable injuries by 21% and our TRIR by 18% 
when compared to 2017. 

Delivering top quartile safety and quality performance begins with investing in our industry-leading recruiting and 
training  programs.  We  offer  structured  career  development  and  apprentice  programs  through  our  world-class

measure to the corresponding GAAP results. 

 
                                                 
training facilities in Texas and the United Kingdom. Our technical school in Texas is state accredited, offering 
technician and client-based training and industry learning. In 2018, through instructor-led sessions, we trained 
more  than  2,400  employees  in  various  programs,  representing  25%  of  our  technician  workforce.  These 
investments in safety, quality and training, differentiate us, particularly in light of a tightening labor market, pricing 
pressures and recruiting challenges. 

Building for Our Future 
TEAM delivers asset integrity management solutions designed to optimize performance through an integrated, 
digitally-enabled  and  more  predictive  approach.  Moving  seamlessly  from  discrete  services  to  fully  integrated 
solutions,  our  company  empowers  greater  safety,  reliability,  and  operational  efficiency  throughout  our  clients’ 
asset  lifecycle.  Our  clients  recognize  that  the  breadth  and  depth  of  our  portfolio  enables  them  to  consolidate 
services with better economics and quality. 

Throughout the year we developed and launched innovative technologies, and expanded into new markets. New 
technologies have changed our competitive and operating landscape. Recent examples, include: 

  Quest Integrity successfully completed inspection work in the subsea deep-water pipeline environment, 
following  an  extensive  tool  development  and  testing  effort  with  several  leading  offshore  operators, 
leveraging the InVistaTM technology. 

  Team  Digital  is  our  proprietary  platform  that  maximizes  quality  and  efficiency  through  digitally-enabled 
workflows.  Projects  were  successfully  executed  in  each  of  our  North  America  divisions  and  with  multiple 
clients throughout the year. The digital landscape within our end markets remains dynamic – and we have 
received positive client recognition for the proven functionality and domain-driven applications of our platform. 

Strong Prospects for TEAM with our new Aligned Organization 
This is an exciting time for TEAM and we have every reason to look to the future with confidence. We are well 
positioned to capitalize on our core strengths – 

 
 
 
 
 
 

a highly trained, global workforce of skilled technicians;  
industry-wide recognition of the breadth and depth of our technical expertise;  
a large and scalable distributed product and service delivery network;  
a solid track record for safety and quality;  
a reputation for innovation; and  
a long-term, diversified blue-chip client base. 

Notwithstanding recent demand fluctuations, we are maintaining our projections of a 4% to 5% end market growth 
in 2019 and we anticipate 2019 to deliver increased revenues, expanded gross margin and higher levels of free 
cash flow compared to 2018.  

Given our 2018 financial performance, projected growth in end markets for our services, and our strong focus on 
executing  the  OneTEAM  program,  we  remain  confident  that  we  are  on  the  right  path  to  deliver  10%  to  12% 
annual Adjusted EBITDA margin by 2020. 

In Closing 
I strongly believe the key factor that sets TEAM apart from our competitors is our people. We have an outstanding 
management team leading the transformation from the front lines along with our talented employees. Without 
their dedication, passion and hard work, we could not have accomplished so much during 2018.  

Given the progress in our OneTEAM program, TEAM has inherent competitive advantages that will enable us to 
realize  and  sustain  the  next  level  of  innovation  and  performance  excellence  globally.  Through  our  domain 
expertise and market leadership, TEAM is well positioned to capitalize on these opportunities to drive meaningful 
shareholder value in 2019 and beyond.  

On behalf of TEAM’s Board of Directors, our management team, and our valued employees, thank you for your 
continued support of Team Inc.  

Sincerely, 

Amerino Gatti  
Chief Executive Officer

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: Inspection and Heat Treating Group (“IHT”) (formerly TeamQualspec), Mechanical Services Group (“MS”) 
(formerly TeamFurmanite) and Quest Integrity Group (“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  asset  integrity  and  reliability 
management 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. 

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

MS provides primarily call-out and turnaround services under both on-stream and off-line/shut down circumstances. On-
stream  services  offered  by  MS  represent  the  services  offered  while  plants  are  operating  and  under  pressure.   These  services 
include  leak  repair,  fugitive  emissions  control  and  hot  tapping  and  line  intervention  and  help  operators  manage  the  material 
opportunity  costs  associated  with  bringing  down  process,  transportation  or  storage  infrastructure.  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  MS  provides  include  field 
machining, technical bolting, isolation test plugging, field valve repair and valve product sales. 

Quest Integrity provides integrity and reliability management solutions for the process, pipeline and power sectors. These 
solutions encompass three 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; (2) advanced engineering and condition 
assessment  services  through  a  multi-disciplined  engineering  team  and  related  lab  support;  and  (3)  advanced  digital  imaging 
including remote digital video imaging, laser scanning and laser profilometry-enabled reformer care services. 

1 

 
 
We  offer  these  services  globally  through  over 200  locations  in  20  countries  throughout  the  world  with  approximately 
7,200 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. 

In September 2017, Ted W. Owen stepped down as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Gary G. Yesavage, a member of 
the Team board of directors (the “Board”), was appointed as Team’s Interim CEO until the appointment of Amerino Gatti as 
CEO and member of the Board in January 2018. 

In July 2018, we announced an organizational restructuring. The organizational changes include a Product and Service 
Line  organization  and  an  Operations  organization.  The  Product  and  Service  Lines  organization  is  responsible  for  value 
positioning  and  pricing,  standardization  of  best  practices,  technical  training  and  program  development,  and  technology 
innovation  across  Team’s  global  enterprise.  The  Operations  organization,  comprised  of  cross-segment  divisions  aligned  by 
major geographic regions, will be responsible for executing product and service delivery in accordance with established Team 
service line standards, safety and quality protocols. Overall company management and decision-making by our chief operating 
decision  maker  continues  to  be  performed  according  to  the  structure  of  the  three  operating  segments  (IHT,  MS  and  Quest 
Integrity). Accordingly, these changes had no effect on our reportable segments. 

Narrative Description of Business 

Inspection and Heat Treating Group: 

IHT 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 core IHT 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 our 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.  We  employ  training  and  certification  programs,  which  are  designed  to  meet  or  exceed  industry  standards. As 
assets  continue  to  age,  often  beyond  original  design  life,  and  compliance  regulations  advance  in  parallel,  inspection  and 
assessment  techniques  are  playing  a  critical  role  in  safely  monitoring  fitness-for-service  and  where  practical,  extending  the 
useful life of this aging infrastructure. 

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 

2 

 
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. 

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  above  ground  storage  tank  (“ABST”)  inspection  and  management 
team, TCI Services, Inc. (“TCI”), specializes in performing inspections, condition assessment and selected repair services 
across  the  United  States  (“U.S.”)  for  ABST  and  related  infrastructure.  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 for the energy and industrial markets. Our rope access solutions allow for work to 
be  carried  out  safely  and  quicker  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 

3 

 
preheat weld joints, to remove contaminants and moisture prior to welding, for 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 are cost prohibitive 
for electric resistance or gas-fired combustion. 

Mechanical Services Group: 

MS  offers  standard  to  specialty  services  within  both  on-stream  and  turnaround/project-related  environments.  A 

description of these core MS services is 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, pipelines and related equipment. Our on-stream repairs utilize composite repair, drill and tap repair, 
and both standard and custom-designed clamps and enclosures for process piping and pipelines. 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 technicians who record 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 
process flows under typically more 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. Bag stops 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’ more unconventional 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. 

4 

 
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 on-line under pressure and temperature. 

Valve  Repair  Services  and  Products.  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.  We  also  represent  selected  valve 
manufacturers and distributes their products where complementary to our clients’ valve supply and management 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  down  or  upstream  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.

Quest Integrity: 

Quest  Integrity  offers  integrity  and  reliability  management  solutions  to  the  energy  industry  in  the  form  of  advanced 
quantitative  inspection,  engineering  and  condition  assessment  services  and  products  and  digital  imaging  services.  Quest 
Integrity’s  advanced  quantitative  inspection  services  utilize  proprietary  non-destructive  testing  and  examination  (NDT/NDE) 
instrumentation to provide technology-enabled in-line inspections of fired heaters, pipelines, process piping systems and steam 
reformers, primarily to the process, pipeline and power industries. Additionally, Quest Integrity offers engineering assessment 
services enabled by proprietary software and other analytical tools, and lab testing and analysis resources. 

Quest Integrity’s major service offerings are described as follows: 

Furnace  Tube  Inspection  System-Enabled  Services.  Furnace  Tube  Inspection  System  (“FTISTM”)  in-line  inspection 
service  provides  an  untethered  360-degree  100%  coverage  ultrasonic  inspection  of  the  internal  and  external  surfaces  of 
serpentine coils of fired heaters, which are found in refineries and other process plant environments. FTISTM allows us to detect 
and quantify internal/external pipe/tube wall loss, deformation and fouling and thereby identify weak points in such heaters in 
order to provide customers with timely, actionable information to better manage their infrastructure. 

InVistaTM-Enabled  Services.  Our  proprietary  InVistaTM  in-line  inspection  service  provides  an  untethered  360-degree 
100% coverage ultrasonic inspection of the internal and external surfaces of pipelines and process piping that are considered 
“unpiggable” or too challenging to inspect by traditional inspection methods, due to a number of factors. InVistaTM allows us to 
detect and quantify pipe/tube internal/external wall loss, deformation, pitting and fouling in such pipelines and process piping. 
Our standard InVistaTM deliverable also provides a fitness-for-service assessment on the pipe and displays the information in a 
highly intuitive format, providing an integrated inspection plus condition assessment solution for customers. 

Pipeline  Integrity  Management  Services. We  offer  turn-key  Pipeline Integrity  Management  services,  including project 
management, integrity engineering and integrity management development services, in-line inspection support such as cleaning 
and  launching/receiving,  pig  tracking  and  materials  equipment  selection  and  procurement.  We  offer  these  resources  on  an 
integrated  basis  with  our  InVistaTM  in-line  inspection  services  and  engineering  assessment  capabilities,  or  individually  as 
applicable. 

Advanced Engineering and Condition Assessment Services. Employing a multi-disciplined engineering team, supported 
by proprietary software, other analytical tools and lab testing capability, we offer a variety of advanced engineering assessment 
services  to  customers  in  the  process,  power,  pipeline,  petrochemical  and  alternative  energy  industries  including  fitness-for-
service, computational mechanics, failure analysis, risk-based asset management and materials consulting. 

Advanced  Digital  Imaging  Services.    Quest  Integrity  offers  Advanced  Digital  Imaging  (“ADI”)  services  utilizing  a 
combination  of  proprietary  and  advanced  third  party  equipment,  including  video,  laser  scanning,  robotic  crawlers  and  aerial 
drones,  to  remotely  capture  digital  images  in  difficult  or  dangerous  to  access  locations  in  and  around  energy  industry 
infrastructure.  We often deliver such services as part of an integrated solution where ADI may complement or further inform 
other inspection and condition assessment techniques. 

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 

6 

 
Roosendaal, the Netherlands. The businesses added approximately 65 employees to our organization in Europe and collectively 
serve  clients  in  the  on  and  offshore  energy,  steel  construction,  shipbuilding  and  repair  and  aerospace  industries.  QIS  is  the 
fourth  largest  NDT  inspection  company  in  the  Netherlands  and  represents  IHT’s  first  inspection  operation  outside  of  North 
America. QIS and TiaT are reported in the IHT 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 inspection and condition assessment 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 IHT 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 MS 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 MS 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. The capacity and capability scope of our discrete and integrated services also allows us to 

7 

 
benefit from the procurement trends of many of our customers who are seeking reductions in the number of contractors and 
vendors  in  their  facilities,  as  well  as  outsourcing  more  of  such  services.  No  single  customer  accounted  for  10%  or  more  of 
consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016. 

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. 

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 power industry follows a similar seasonal schedule for their 
plant maintenance. The timing of large turnarounds or outages can significantly impact our revenues. 

8 

 
Employees 

At December 31, 2018, we had approximately 7,200 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 November 2010 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 

9 

 
similar range of coverage or services and include, but are not limited to, Acuren Group, Inc., Guardian Compliance, Mistras 
Group, Inc., Stronghold Ltd. (a subsidiary of Quanta Services 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. 

If we are not able to implement commercially competitive services in a timely manner in response to changes in the 
market, customer requirements, competitive pressures and technology trends, our business and results of operations could 
be materially and adversely affected. The market for our services is characterized by continual technological developments to 
provide  better  and  more  cost-effective  services.  If  we  are  not  able  to  implement  commercially  competitive  services  and 
products  in  a  timely  manner  in  response  to  changes  in  the  market,  customer  requirements,  competitive  pressures  and 
technology  trends,  our  business  and  results  of  operations  could  be  materially  and  adversely  affected.  Likewise,  if  our 
proprietary technologies, equipment, facilities, or work processes become obsolete, we may no longer be competitive, and our 
business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. 

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 

10 

 
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. 

The loss or unavailability of any of our executive officers or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect 
on our business. We depend greatly on the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees to manage and exercise 
leadership over our operations. The loss or unavailability of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a 
material adverse effect on our business operations. 

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,  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  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, 2018, 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 3.50 to 1.00 and (ii) an interest coverage ratio (the “Interest Coverage Ratio,” 
as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) of not less than 2.25 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2018, we are in compliance with 

11 

 
these covenants. The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 2.56 to 1.00 and 2.90 to 1.00, 
respectively, as of December 31, 2018. 

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 than 3.50 to 1.00 as of December 31, 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 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, 2018, 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. 

No assurances can be made that we will be able to renew our Credit Facility, refinance the outstanding balance or 
otherwise  repay  our  obligations  in  full  prior  to  maturity  on  July  7, 2020.  The  Credit  Facility  matures  on  July  7, 2020  and 
under the terms of the Credit Facility, any outstanding balance is due in full on that date. As of December 31, 2018, under the 
Credit  Facility,  we  had  an  outstanding  principal  balance  of  $156.8  million  and  outstanding  letters  of  credit  totaling  $22.8 
million. The ability to renew the Credit Facility, refinance the debt or otherwise repay the outstanding debt prior to maturity is 
dependent  upon  capital/credit  market  conditions  as  well  as  our  financial  condition,  operating  results  and  cash  flows,  all  of 
which  are  subject  to  prevailing  economic  and  competitive  conditions  in  addition  to  financial,  business,  legislative, 
governmental, political, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. Therefore, it cannot be assured that we will be able to 
renew the Credit Facility or refinance the debt on terms favorable to us, or at all, or that we will otherwise be able repay the 
Credit  Facility  obligations  in  full  by  the  maturity  date.  In  such  event,  we  could  face  substantially  liquidity  problems,  which 
could cause a materially adverse impact on our business operations. 

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 

12 

 
“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  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. 

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  and  if  the  effect  would  be  dilutive.  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, if the effect would be dilutive. 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. 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 to 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, 2018, our goodwill and intangible assets totaled $281.7 million and $131.4 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  2017,  we 
determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger interim goodwill impairment tests. The indicators included, among 
other  factors,  market  softness  and  the  related  impacts  on  our  financial  results  and  our  stock  price.  This  resulted  in  an 

13 

 
impairment loss of $75.2 million in the third quarter of 2017. Our 2017 and 2018 annual goodwill impairment tests, which were 
completed as of December 1, 2017 and December 1, 2018, respectively, did not result in any additional impairment. However, 
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. 

Improvements in operating results from expected savings in operating costs from workforce reductions 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 late 2017, the Company began a project, known as OneTEAM, to identify cost 
savings,  including  the  elimination  of  certain  employee  positions,  and  other  business  improvement  opportunities.  The  design 
phase of which was completed in the first quarter of 2018 and the deployment phase of which started in the second quarter of 
2018.  We  expect  that  the  OneTEAM  Program  will  be  largely  completed  in  the  first  half  of  2019.  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. 

The  Company’s  operations  and  information  systems,  including  its  employee,  customer  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,  customer  and  financial  records,  are  digitized  and  more  employees  are 

14 

 
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. 

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. 

Business acquisitions entail risk for investors. From time to time, we pursue acquisitions in, or complementary to, the 
specialty  maintenance  and  construction  services  industry  to  complement  and  diversify  our  existing  business.  We  may  also 
acquire other businesses  that  enhance our  services  or geographic  scope. We  may  not be  able  to  expand  our  market  presence 
through acquisitions, and acquisitions may present unforeseen integration difficulties or costs. 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, 

15 

 
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, 2018, we had approximately 7,200 employees, approximately 1,900 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. 

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. 

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. 

16 

 
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 

We  provide  our  services  globally  through  over  200  locations  in  20  countries  throughout  the  world.  There  are  several 
materially important physical properties used in our operations. We own a facility in Alvin, Texas that consists of our primary 
training  facility,  equipment  center  and  ISO-9001  certified  manufacturing  facility  for  clamps,  enclosures,  and  sealants. 
Additionally,  we  operate  three  manufacturing  facilities  in  Houston, Texas  (two  of  which  are  owned  and  the  other  is  leased), 
which are included in our MS segment. Further, we lease office space for our corporate headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas and 
for our Quest Integrity segment headquarters in Kent, Washington. Additional district service locations considered materially 
important  in  our  IHT  and  MS  segments  are  as  follows.  We  lease  facilities  in  Mobile,  Alabama;  Benicia,  California;  Long 
Beach, California; Hammond, Indiana; Columbus, Ohio; Pasadena, Texas (two locations); and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We 
own a facility in Pasadena, Texas and own three facilities in the United Kingdom in Kendal, Carlisle and Scunthorpe. 

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.

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

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 

21 

 
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,  2018,  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, 2018. 

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 42. 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the fourth quarter of 2018, we identified a deficiency that 
existed  as  of  December  31,  2017  related  to  the  misapplication  of  GAAP  with  respect  to  the  measurement  of  valuation 
allowances on deferred tax assets. Specifically, the control to properly consider the scheduling of reversing temporary taxable 
differences  when  determining  the  amount  of  any  required  valuation  allowance  was  not  operating  effectively. We  determined 
that this control deficiency did not result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements in prior periods or 
interim periods during 2018, but it created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement would not have been prevented 
or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, we concluded the deficiency represented a material weakness in our internal control 
over  financial  reporting.  However,  we  concluded  that  certain  personnel  changes  with  respect  to  the  preparation  of  the 
consolidated income tax provision in 2018 sufficiently remediated the material weakness prior to December 31, 2018. Other 
than  the  remediation  of  the  material  weakness  noted  above,  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, 2018.

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” included in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-
K.  We  undertake  no  obligation  to  update  publicly  any  forward-looking  statements,  whether  as  a  result  of  new  information, 
future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. 

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:  Inspection  and  Heat Treating  Group  (“IHT”)  (formerly TeamQualspec),  Mechanical  Services  Group  (“MS”) 
(formerly TeamFurmanite) and Quest Integrity Group (“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, we believe 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 

30 

 
unique  client  demand  profiles:  (i)  turnaround  or  project  services,  (ii)  call-out  services  and  (iii)  nested  or  run  and  maintain 
services. 

IHT  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. 

MS  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 
MS  provides  include  field  machining,  technical  bolting,  field  valve  repair  and  isolation  test  plugging  services.  On-stream 
services offered by MS 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 three 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  engineering  and 
condition assessment services through a multi-disciplined engineering team and (3) advanced digital imaging including remote 
digital video imaging, laser scanning and laser profilometry-enabled reformer care services. 

We  offer  these  services  globally  through  over 200  locations  in  20  countries  throughout  the  world  with  approximately 
7,200 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. 

In September 2017, Ted W. Owen stepped down as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Gary G. Yesavage, a member of 
the Team board of directors (the “Board”), was appointed as Team’s Interim CEO until the appointment of Amerino Gatti as 
CEO and member of the Board in January 2018. 

In July 2018, we announced an organizational restructuring. The organizational changes include a Product and Service 
Line  organization  and  an  Operations  organization.  The  Product  and  Service  Lines  organization  is  responsible  for  value 
positioning  and  pricing,  standardization  of  best  practices,  technical  training  and  program  development,  and  technology 
innovation  across  Team’s  global  enterprise.  The  Operations  organization,  comprised  of  cross-segment  divisions  aligned  by 
major geographic regions, will be responsible for executing product and service delivery in accordance with established Team 
service line standards, safety and quality protocols. Overall company management and decision-making by our chief operating 
decision  maker  continues  to  be  performed  according  to  the  structure  of  the  three  operating  segments  (IHT,  MS  and  Quest 
Integrity). Accordingly, these changes had no effect on our reportable segments.

Results of Operations 

In  connection  with  the  preparation  of  the  Company’s  2018  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  identified 
errors  in  its  previously  issued  2017  consolidated  financial  statements  with  respect  to  income  taxes.  The  prior  period 
consolidated  financial  statements  and  other  affected  prior  period  financial  information  in  this  report  have  been  revised  to 
correct these errors. The Company determined the related impacts were not material to its previously filed annual or interim 
consolidated  financial  statements,  and  therefore,  amendments  of  previously  filed  reports  are  not  required.  See  Note  1  to  the 
consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Includes goodwill impairment loss of $21.1 million and $54.1 million for IHT and MS, respectively, in 2017. 

Revenues. Total revenues grew $46.7 million or 3.9% from the same period in the prior year. Excluding the favorable 
impact of $4.2 million due to foreign currency exchange rate changes, total revenues increased by $42.5 million, IHT revenues 
increased by $27.1 million, MS revenues increased by $0.5 million and Quest Integrity revenues increased by $14.9 million. 
The favorable impacts of foreign exchange rate changes are primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to Euro, 
the  British  Pound  and  the  Canadian  dollar.  The  increases  in  IHT  and  Quest  Integrity  reflect  higher  activity  levels  due  to 
increased  demand  and  customer  spending  levels,  attributable  to improved  market  conditions,  particularly  within  the  refining 
and petrochemical industries. The increased activity levels within IHT reflect higher inspection services in our North American 
operations while the increases within Quest Integrity include additional subsea deepwater pipeline inspection work and growth 
from certain geographic expansion. Within MS, improvements in activity levels during the first half of the year were largely 
offset by lower activity levels experienced in the second half of 2018, due to a softer fall 2018 turnaround season. The fall 2018 
turnaround  season  was  negatively  impacted  by  significantly  higher  North  America  refinery  utilization  levels  in  order  to 
capitalize  on  higher  regional  crack  spreads  driven  by  recent  midstream  pipeline  capacity  contracts  and  widened  crude  oil 
pricing  differentials,  resulting  in  the  postponement  of  planned  fall  2018  maintenance  work.  The  adoption  of  Financial 
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers, (“ASC 606”), as of January 1, 2018, had an overall unfavorable impact on consolidated revenues $4.8 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2018.

Operating income (loss). Overall operating loss was $39.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $115.1 million in 
the prior year. The decrease in the operating loss was primarily due to the effect of goodwill impairment losses of $54.1 million 
and $21.1 million for MS and IHT, respectively, incurred in 2017 which did not recur in 2018. 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  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  MS  and  IHT  operating  segments  exceeded  their 
estimated  fair  values. The  estimated  fair values  of  these  segments  had 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. While there has been no additional goodwill impairment losses in subsequent periods, there can be no 
assurance that we will not experience additional goodwill impairment losses in future periods. The current year period includes 
$5.7 million of consolidated operating loss associated with the adoption of ASC 606. 

Operating  income  (loss)  for  the  current  year  includes  net  expenses  totaling  $33.9  million  that  we  do  not  believe  are 
indicative of the Company’s core operating activities, while the same period in the prior year included $107.7 million of such 
items (including the $75.2 million of goodwill impairment losses), as detailed by segment in the table below (in thousands):

For 2018, relates to restructuring costs incurred associated with the OneTEAM program. For 2017, primarily associated with the 2017 Cost Savings Initiative, net of a $1.1 
million gain in MS associated with the disposal of Furmanite operations in Belgium. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. 

Severance/transition costs associated with certain executive leadership changes, as discussed above. 

Consists primarily  of  professional  fees  and  other  costs  for  assessment  of  corporate  and  support  cost  structures,  acquired  business  integration  and  intellectual  property  legal 
defense costs associated with Quest Integrity. For 2018, includes $15.5 million (exclusive of restructuring costs) associated with the OneTEAM program, which is discussed 
further below. 
Primarily incremental costs incurred associated with hurricane-related impacts in 2017 

Excluding  the  impact  of  these  identified  items  in  both  periods,  operating  loss  changed  favorably  by  $2.3  million, 
consisting of  increased operating  income  in  IHT  and  Quest  Integrity  of $6.8  million  and $7.8  million, respectively,  partially 
offset by decreased operating income in MS of $10.7 million and an increase in corporate and shared support services expenses 
of  $1.6  million.  The  higher  operating  income  in  IHT  is  attributable  to  higher  activity  levels,  reflecting  an  improvement  in 
market  conditions,  and  the  benefits  from  both  the  Company’s  cost  savings  initiative  completed  last  year  as  well  as  the 
OneTEAM program this year, partially offset by increases in labor costs, including overtime compensation and flexible labor 

33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
   
   
   
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
   
   
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
cost to meet customer demand. Within Quest Integrity, the higher operating income reflects both higher activity levels and a 
favorable project mix. Within MS, the benefit of cost reductions were more than offset by additional amortization expense of 
$12.4 million  associated  with  the  Furmanite  trade  name  intangible  asset  as  well  as  higher  bad  debt  expense  and  inventory 
charges.  Management  determined  that,  as  a  result  of  initiatives  to  consolidate  the  Company’s  branding,  the  useful  life  of 
Furmanite trade name intangible asset was not expected to extend beyond December 31, 2018. We accounted for the change in 
useful  life  prospectively  effective  January  1,  2018  and  amortized  the  remaining  balance  over  2018,  which  resulted  in  the 
incremental amortization expense in 2018. As discussed above, within MS, improved operating performance in the first half of 
the year was essentially offset by the negative impacts in the second half of 2018 due to the postponement of planned fall and 
winter 2018 maintenance work, attributable to the significantly higher North America refinery utilization levels, as described 
above. Within corporate and shared support services, the lower operating income is primarily attributable to higher incentive 
and non-cash compensation cost, partially offset by labor cost savings from our cost saving initiatives. While our markets have 
shown improvement this year, our margins are beginning to be impacted by cost increases in labor, materials, freight and fuel, 
which could further impact operating performance in future periods. 

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $21.5 million in the prior year to $30.9 million in the current year. The 
increase is due to a combination of higher overall debt balances outstanding and higher interest rates. The higher interest rates 
are 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  $230.0  million  of  5.00%  convertible  senior  notes  on  July  31,  2017  (the 
“Notes”) offering to repay a portion of the Credit Facility borrowings, which bear a higher effective interest rate than our Credit 
Facility borrowings. 

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. 

Loss (gain) on convertible debt embedded derivative. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, we recorded a 
loss of $24.8 million associated with the increase in fair value of our convertible debt embedded derivative liability, compared 
to  a  gain  of  $0.8  million  for  the  same  period  in  2017.  The  loss  recognized  during  this  current  year  period  is  primarily 
attributable to the 38.9% increase in the Company’s stock price during the period through May 17, 2018, while the prior year 
gain is primarily a result of a decrease in our stock price from the issuance date of the Notes until December 31, 2017. On May 
17,  2018,  we  received  shareholder  approval  to  issue  shares  of  common  stock  upon  conversion  of  the  Notes. As  discussed 
further in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with ASC 815-15, we recorded a loss to adjust the 
embedded derivative liability to its fair value as of this date and then reclassified the balance of $45.4 million to stockholders’ 
equity in the second quarter of 2018. As a result of this reclassification, the embedded derivative liability is no longer marked to 
fair value each period. 

Other (income)  expense, net.  Non-operating  results  include  foreign  currency  transaction  losses  of $1.7  million  for  the 
year ended December 31, 2018 compared to foreign currency transaction losses of $0.5 million in the same period last year.  
The 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. For 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  non-operating  results  also  include  a  gain  of  $1.0  million  realized  on  the  sale  of  an 
investment. Non-operating results also include certain components of our net periodic pension cost (credit). 

Taxes. The benefit for income tax was $31.1 million on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $94.2 million in 
the current year compared to the benefit for income tax of $53.1 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $137.5 
million in the prior year. The effective tax rate was a benefit 33.0% for the year ended December 31, 2018 and a benefit of 
38.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The lower effective rate benefit in 2018 was primarily attributable to the effect 
of the benefits recorded in 2017 to initially apply the 2017 Tax Act, partially offset by the effect of the non-deductible portion 
of  the  goodwill  impairment  loss  also  in  2017.  The  year  ended  December  31,  2017  included  tax  benefits  of  $26.1  million 
associated with the 2017 Tax Act, comprised of a net benefit of $17.1 million for the decrease in our deferred tax liability on 

34 

 
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. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company finalized the recording of 
the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act and recorded an income tax benefit of $1.8 million, reflecting an adjustment to the provisional 
estimate of the deemed repatriation transition tax. As a result of the final calculation of the transition tax liability, the Company 
also  recorded  an  adjustment  to  the  deferred  tax  liability  associated  with  investments  in  foreign  subsidiaries.  For  additional 
information on the 2017 Tax Act, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

Includes goodwill impairment loss of $21.1 million and $54.1 million for IHT and MS, respectively, in 2017. 

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,  IHT  revenues 
decreased by $3.7 million, MS revenues decreased by $10.4 million, and Quest Integrity revenues increased by $13.4 million. 
The  decreases  in  IHT  and  MS  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  IHT,  these  hurricane-related  impacts  were  partially  offset  by  approximately  $3.1 
million  of  revenue  attributable  to  acquisitions  completed  in  the  prior  year.  Within  MS,  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  macro  environment  in  the  industries  in  which  we 
operate, with activity levels 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, MS  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  MS  and  IHT  segments,  which  experienced 

35 

 
 
 
 
 
 
   
   
   
 
 
   
   
   
 
   
   
   
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  MS  and  IHT 
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 MS and IHT 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.  While  there  has  been  no 
additional goodwill impairment losses in subsequent periods, there can be no assurance that we will not 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 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 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 IHT and MS 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 
IHT  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 MS, 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 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. 

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $21.5 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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. 

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. 

Loss (gain) on convertible debt embedded derivative. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a 
gain of $0.8 million associated with the decrease in fair value of our convertible debt embedded derivative liability. The gain 
recognized during this period is primarily attributable to the decrease in the Company’s stock price from the issuance date of 
the Notes until December 31, 2017. As discussed above and in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, effective after 
May 17, 2018, the embedded derivative liability is no longer marked to fair value each period. 

Other  (income)  expense,  net.  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 $53.1 million on the pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $137.5 million for 
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  a  benefit 38.6% for  the  year  ended December 31,  2017 and a  benefit 
19.8% for  the  year  ended December 31,  2016.  In  connection  with  our  initial  analysis  of  the  impact  of  the  2017 Tax Act,  we 
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. For additional information on the 2017 Tax Act, see Note 9 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. 

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 

37 

 
 
 
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 $600.0 million and consisted 
of a $400.0 million, five-year revolving loan facility and a $200.0 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  $300.0  million  revolving  loan 
facility,  subject  to  a  borrowing  availability  test  (based  on  eligible  accounts,  inventory  and  fixed  assets).  The  Credit  Facility 
matures on July 7, 2020, bears interest based on a variable Eurodollar rate option (LIBOR plus 3.00% margin at December 31, 
2018) and has commitment fees on unused borrowing capacity (0.50% at December 31, 2018). The Credit Facility limits our 
ability  to  pay cash dividends. The  Company’s obligations  under the  Credit  Facility  are  guaranteed by  its  material  direct  and 
indirect domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ tangible and 
intangible  property  (subject  to  certain  specified  exclusions)  and  by  a  pledge  of  all  of  the  equity  interests  in  the  Company’s 
material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests in the Company’s material first-tier foreign 
subsidiaries. 

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants, which were amended in March 2018 pursuant to the seventh amendment 
(the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Credit Facility. The Seventh Amendment eliminated the ratio of consolidated funded debt to 
consolidated EBITDA (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 ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Senior 
Secured Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) and the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated 
interest  charges  (the  “Interest  Coverage  Ratio,”  as  defined  in  the  Credit  Facility  agreement)  as  follows.  The  Company  is 
required to maintain a maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 as of December 31, 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 December 31, 2018 and not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019 and each quarter thereafter. As of December 31, 
2018, we are in compliance with these covenants. The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 
2.56 to 1.00 and 2.90 to 1.00, respectively, as of December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, we had $18.3 million of cash on 
hand and had approximately $66 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, 2018, we had $1.8 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that are being amortized over the life of the Credit Facility. 

 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 $22.8 million at December 31, 2018 and $22.5 million at December 31, 2017. Outstanding letters of 

38 

 
 
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. 

As  noted  above,  the  Credit  Facility  matures  on  July  7,  2020.  Management  is  currently  considering  options  to  secure 
flexible, cost-effective funding to meet future capital needs. These options include, but are not limited to, renewing or replacing 
the  Credit  Facility  or  seeking  other  forms  of  financing.  Management  expects  to  complete  its  evaluation  of  alternatives  and 
execute on its chosen plans in 2019. However, the availability of financing or other liquidity sources is dependent upon capital 
and  credit  market  conditions  as  well  as  our  future  financial  performance.  Therefore,  no  assurances  can  be  made  that 
management will be successful in executing on its plans within the time frame anticipated, if at all. 

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: 

•  

•  

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. 

The  Notes  are  initially  convertible  into  10,599,067  shares  of  common  stock.  Previously,  because  the  Notes  could  be 
convertible in full into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock, we were 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 could converted into 
more than 5,964,858 shares of common stock. At our annual shareholders’ meeting, held on May 17, 2018, our shareholders 
approved the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Notes. 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. 

39 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 a continuation of weak market conditions. The cost 
savings initiative included reductions to discretionary spending and the elimination of certain employee positions. Based upon 
our estimates, we believe that the actions taken 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  complete.  In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2017,  we 
engaged outside consultants to assess all aspects of our business for improvement and cost saving opportunities as part of a new 
cost  savings  and  business  improvement  project.  In  the  first  quarter  of  2018,  we  completed  the  design  phase  of  the  project, 
known as OneTEAM, and are now in the deployment phase. We incurred $15.5 million of expenses during the twelve months 
ended  December  31,  2018,  primarily  related  to  professional  fees  associated  with  the  project. Additionally,  we  incurred $6.7 
million of  severance-related  costs  during  the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2018,  related  to  the  elimination  of  certain 
employee  positions  in  conjunction  with  the  project.  We  expect  to  incur  various  additional  expenses  associated  with  the 
execution of OneTEAM which will be incurred in the first half of 2019, with funding provided by our operating cash flows and 
the  Credit  Facility.  Currently,  we  estimate  that  total  expenses  for  the  OneTEAM  initiative  will  not  exceed  $30  million.  By 
2020, the Company expects to ultimately achieve annual cost efficiencies of $35 million to $45 million related to the project. 
OneTEAM savings realized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 were approximately $10.1 million. 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 was 
computed by the straight-line method. Through December 31, 2017, we capitalized $46.6 million associated with the project 
which included $1.6 million of capitalized interest. No additional amounts were capitalized in association with this project in 
2018. 

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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. At 
December 31, 2018, $7.9 million remained available to repurchase shares under the stock repurchase plan.

Cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2018 totaled $18.3 million, of which $15.6 

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

Cash  flows  attributable  to  our  operating  activities.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  net  cash  provided  by 
operating  activities  was  $41.9  million.  Although  we  incurred  a  net  loss  of  $63.1  million,  the  effect  of  depreciation  and 
amortization  of  $64.9  million,  a  non-cash  loss  on  our  convertible  debt  embedded  derivative  of  $24.8  million,  a  decrease  in 
working capital of $19.0 million, non-cash compensation cost of $12.3 million and a provision for doubtful accounts of $11.7 
million, partially offset by deferred tax benefits of $31.7 million, resulted in positive operating cash flow. 

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 $84.5 million, deferred tax benefits of $66.2 million and an increase 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,  non-cash  compensation  cost  of  $7.9  million  and  a  provision  for  doubtful 
accounts of $7.1 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. 

Cash flows  attributable  to  our  investing  activities.  For  the  year  ended December  31, 2018, net  cash  used  in  investing 
activities  was  $25.0  million,  consisting  primarily  of  $27.2  million  of  capital  expenditures.  Capital  expenditures  can  vary 
depending upon specific customer needs that may arise unexpectedly. 

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. 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $75.8 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  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. 

Cash flows attributable to our financing activities. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net cash used in financing 
activities  was  $23.0  million,  consisting  primarily  of  $19.7  million  net  debt  repayments  under  the  revolving  portion  of  our 
Credit  Facility,  $1.4  million  in  withholding  tax  payments  related  to  share-based  compensation,  $1.1  million  in  contingent 
consideration payments and $0.9 million of Credit Facility debt issuance costs. 

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. 

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the effect of foreign exchange rate 
changes on cash was a negative impact of $2.1 million. The negative impact in the current period is primarily attributable to 
unfavorable fluctuations in U.S. Dollar exchange rates with the Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, the British Pound, the Euro 
and the Brazilian Real. 

41 

 
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.

While we cannot predict with 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 
$12 million over the remaining contractual period based on the outstanding principal balance and interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2018. With respect to the Notes, 
includes total interest payments of $57 million assuming that the Notes remain outstanding through the maturity date. 

For the Company’s defined benefit pension plan covering certain United Kingdom employees (the “U.K. Plan”), as of December 31, 2018, the Company has committed to 
fund contributions of $2.3 million for 2019 and $3.8 million annually thereafter through January 2032 for a total funding commitment of up to approximately $48.5 million 
(undiscounted). Further, in any year in which specified operating performance levels are exceeded, we have committed to an additional contribution for that year, of up to 
approximately $1.2 million, depending on actual performance levels. Notwithstanding these commitments, the Company will make contributions to the U.K. Plan only to the 
extent necessary to eliminate the funding deficit. Accordingly, the aggregate amount of contributions ultimately made may be less than those noted above.

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: 

•   Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

•   Goodwill and Intangible Assets 

•  

Income Taxes 

•   Workers’ Compensation, Auto, Medical and General Liability Accruals 

•   Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

Revenue  from  contracts  with  customers. In  accordance  with  ASC  606,  we  follow  a  five-step  process  to  recognize 
revenue: 1) identify the contract with the customer, 2) identify the performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 
4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and 5) recognize revenue when the performance obligations are 
satisfied. 

Most of our contracts with customers are short-term in nature and billed on a time and materials basis, while certain other 
contracts are at a fixed price. Certain contracts may contain a combination of fixed and variable elements. We act as a principal 
and have performance obligations to provide the service itself or oversee the services provided by any subcontractors. Revenue 
is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third 
parties,  such  as  taxes  assessed  by  governmental  authorities.  Generally,  in  contracts  where  the  amount  of  consideration  is 
variable, the amount is determinable each period based on our right to invoice (as discussed further below) the customer for 
services  performed  to  date. As  most  of  our  contracts  contain  only  one  performance  obligation,  the  allocation  of  a  contract’s 
transaction price to multiple performance obligations is generally not applicable. Customers are generally billed as we satisfy 
our performance obligations and payment terms typically range from 30 to 90 days from the invoice date. Billings under certain 
fixed-price  contracts  may  be  based  upon  the  achievement  of  specified  milestones,  while  some  arrangements  may  require 
advance customer payment. Our contracts do not include significant financing components since the contracts typically span 
less than one year. Contracts generally include an assurance type warranty clause to guarantee that the services comply with 
agreed specifications. The warranty period typically is 12 months or less from the date of service. Warranty expenses were not 
material for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

Revenue  is  recognized  as  (or  when)  the  performance  obligations  are  satisfied  by  transferring  control  over  a  service  or 
product to the customer. Revenue recognition guidance prescribes two recognition methods (over time or point in time). Most 
of  our  performance  obligations  qualify  for  recognition  over  time  because  we  typically  perform  our  services  on  customer 
facilities or assets and customers receive the benefits of our services as we perform. Where a performance obligation is satisfied 
over time, the related revenue is also recognized over time using the method deemed most appropriate to reflect the measure of 
progress  and  transfer  of  control.  For  our  time  and  materials  contracts,  we  are  generally  able  to  elect  the  right-to-invoice 
practical expedient, which permits us to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice the customer if 
that  amount  corresponds  directly  with  the  value  to  the  customer  of  our  performance  completed  to  date.  For  our  fixed  price 
contracts,  we  typically  recognize  revenue  using  the  cost-to-cost  method,  which  measures  the  extent  of  progress  towards 
completion based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. 
Under this method, revenue is recognized proportionately as costs are incurred. For contracts where control is transferred at a 
point  in  time,  revenue  is  recognized  at  the  time  control  of  the  asset  is  transferred  to  the  customer,  which  is  typically  upon 
delivery and acceptance by the customer. 

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, 

43 

 
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  (“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 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, 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. 

In the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an 
interim goodwill impairment analysis, primarily due to a 43% decrease in the Company’s stock price during the quarter, market 
softness and our financial results. This interim goodwill impairment test was prepared as of July 31, 2017. The fair values of 
the reporting units 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  a  combination  of  historical  and 
projected financial metrics of our reporting units, to arrive at fair value. We applied weightings to each of the income and the 
two  market  approaches.  The  fair  value  derived  from  these  approaches,  in  the  aggregate,  approximated  our  market 
capitalization. 

The  July  31,  2017  interim  goodwill  impairment  test  indicated  impairment  as  the  carrying  values  of  the  MS  and  IHT 
reporting units exceeded their fair values. The carrying value of the MS reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $54.1 million 
and the carrying value of the IHT 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 11. The fair value of the 
Quest Integrity reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value. 

44 

 
For  our  annual  goodwill  impairment  tests  as  of  December  1,  2017  and  December  1,  2018,  we  elected  to  perform 
qualitative assessments 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 dates. Our qualitative assessment for 
the  December  1,  2017  test  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, while our qualitative assessment 
for the December 1, 2018 test considered relevant events and circumstances occurring since the December 1, 2017 qualitative 
impairment test date. 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 for the assessments as of both of these 
dates,  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 $281.7 million and $284.8 million of goodwill at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A summary of

There was $75.2 million of accumulated impairment losses at December 31, 2018 and 2017, comprised of the impairment 

losses recognized in the third quarter of 2017 described above. 

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 the reversal of existing taxable 
temporary  differences,  taxable  income  in  prior  carryback  years  if  carryback  is  permitted  by  tax  law,  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 and tax planning strategies. 

We regularly assess whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the deferred tax assets in the jurisdictions in 
which  we  operate.  Management  believes  future  sources  of  taxable  income,  reversing  temporary  differences  and  other  tax 

45 

 
 
 
 
 
planning strategies will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance has been established. 
Our  valuation  allowances  primarily  relate  to  net  operating  loss  carry  forwards.  While  we  have  considered  these  factors  in 
assessing  the  need  for  additional  valuation  allowances,  there  is  no  assurance  that  additional  valuation  allowances  would  not 
need  to  be  established  in  the  future  if  information  about  future  years  change. Any  changes  in  valuation  allowances  would 
impact our income tax provision and net income (loss) in the period in which such a determination is made. As of December 
31, 2018, our deferred tax assets were $73.7 million, less a valuation allowance of $10.5 million. As of December 31, 2018, our 
deferred tax liabilities were $61.6 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, 2018, our unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were $2.2 million. 

The 2017 Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and represented 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 has resulted 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  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission 
issued  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No.  118  (“SAB  118”),  which  required  companies  include  in  their  financial  statements 
estimates of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act to the extent such estimates have been determined. Under SAB 118, companies 
were 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 previously recorded certain estimates of the tax impact in its consolidated 
statement of operations for the fourth quarter of 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company finalized the 
recording of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act and recorded an income tax benefit of $1.8 million, reflecting an adjustment to the 
provisional estimate of the deemed repatriation transition tax. As a result of the final calculation of the transition tax liability, 
the Company also recorded an adjustment to the deferred tax liability associated with investments in foreign subsidiaries. 

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 

46 

 
 
 
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, 2018 were $1.7 million 
and  relate  primarily  to  fluctuations  in  the  U.S. Dollar  in  relation  to  the  Brazilian  Real,  the  Euro,  the  British  Pound,  the 
Malaysian Ringgit and the 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,  2018,  2017  and  2016  or  for  the 
years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

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 losses recognized in other comprehensive loss were 
$9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

Based on the year ended December 31, 2018, we had foreign currency-based revenues and operating income of $333.9 
million and $5.9 million, respectively, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all applicable foreign currencies would result in an 
annual change in revenues and operating income of $33.4 million and $0.6 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. 

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, 2018, 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 convertible senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate, but the fair value of the Notes is subject to fluctuations as market 
interest  rates  change.  In  addition,  the  fair  value  of  the  Notes  is  affected  by  changes  in  our  stock  price. As  of  December  31, 
2018, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes was $230.0 million. The carrying value of the liability component of the 
Notes, net of the unamortized discount and issuance costs, was $195.2 million as of December 31, 2018, while the estimated 
fair value of the Notes was $231.5 million (inclusive of the fair value of the conversion option), which was determined based 
on  the  observed  trading  price  of  the  Notes.  Through  May  17,  2018,  a  portion  of  the  conversion  feature  of  the  Notes  was 
accounted  for  as  an  embedded  derivative  liability  under  ASC  815,  with  changes  in  fair  value  reflected  in  our  results  of 
operations each period. As a result of obtaining shareholder approval on May 17, 2018 to issue shares of common stock upon 
conversion of the Notes, we reclassified the embedded derivative to stockholders’ equity at its May 17, 2018 fair value of $45.4 

47 

 
 
million during the second quarter of 2018. As a result of the reclassification to stockholders’ equity, the embedded derivative is 
no  longer  marked  to  fair  value  each  period.  See  Note  10  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  for  additional  information 
regarding the Notes.

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, 2018, 
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, 2018, 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,  2018  and  2017,  the  related  consolidated 
statements  of  operations,  comprehensive  income  loss,  shareholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  years  in  the 
three-year period ended December 31, 2018 and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our 
report dated March 19, 2019 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. 

49 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.

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

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Team,  Inc.  and subsidiaries  (the  Company)  as  of 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and 
cash  flows  for  each  of  the  years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  December 31,  2018  and  the  related  notes  (collectively,  the 
consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, 
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for 
each  of  the  years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  December 31,  2018  in  conformity  with  U.S. generally  accepted  accounting 
principles. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in 
Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission,  and  our  report  dated  March 19,  2019  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting. 

Change in Accounting Principle 

As  discussed  in  Note  1  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  has  changed  its  method  of  accounting  for 
revenue recognition in 2018 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 606 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers. 

Basis for Opinion 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement, 
whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 
consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such 
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial 
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, 
as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

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:  Inspection  and  Heat Treating  Group  (“IHT”)  (formerly TeamQualspec),  Mechanical  Services  Group  (“MS”) 
(formerly TeamFurmanite) and Quest Integrity Group (“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. 

IHT  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. 

MS  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 
MS  provides  include  field  machining,  technical  bolting,  field  valve  repair  and  isolation  test  plugging  services.  On-stream 
services offered by MS 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 three 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  engineering  and 
condition assessment services through a multi-disciplined engineering team and (3) advanced digital imaging including remote 
digital video imaging, laser scanning and laser profilometry-enabled reformer care services. 

We  offer  these  services  globally  through  over 200  locations  in  20  countries  throughout  the  world  with  approximately 
7,200 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”. 

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. 

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 

57 

 
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 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  liabilities  for  workers’  compensation,  auto,  medical  and  general  liability, 
(4) establishing an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, (5) estimating the useful lives of our assets, (6) assessing 
future tax exposure and the realization of tax assets, (7) the valuation of the embedded derivative liability in our convertible 
debt  and  (8)  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,  2018  and  2017  was  $231.5  million  and  $231.6 
million,  respectively,  (inclusive  of  the  fair  value  of  the  conversion  option)  and  are  a  “Level  2”  (as  defined  in  Note  11) 
measurements, 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: 

Classification 

Buildings 
Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) System 
Leasehold improvements 
Machinery and equipment 
Furniture and fixtures 
Computers and computer software 
Automobiles 

Useful Life 

20-40 years 
15 years 
2-15 years 
2-12 years 
2-10 years 
2-5 years 
2-5 years 

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 

58 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  (“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 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, 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. 

In the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an 
interim goodwill impairment analysis, primarily due to a 43% decrease in the Company’s stock price during the quarter, market 
softness and our financial results.  This interim goodwill impairment test was prepared as of July 31, 2017. The fair values of 
the reporting units 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  a  combination  of  historical  and 
projected financial metrics of our reporting units, to arrive at fair value. We applied weightings to each of the income and the 
two  market  approaches.  The  fair  value  derived  from  these  approaches,  in  the  aggregate,  approximated  our  market 
capitalization. 

The  July  31,  2017  interim  goodwill  impairment  test  indicated  impairment  as  the  carrying  values  of  the  MS  and  IHT 
reporting units exceeded their fair values. The carrying value of the MS reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $54.1 million 
and the carrying value of the IHT 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 11. The fair value of the 
Quest Integrity reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value.

For  our  annual  goodwill  impairment  tests  as  of  December  1,  2017  and  December  1,  2018,  we  elected  to  perform 
qualitative assessments 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 dates. Our qualitative assessment for 
the  December  1,  2017  test  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, while our qualitative assessment 
for the December 1, 2018 test considered relevant events and circumstances occurring since the December 1, 2017 qualitative 
impairment test date. 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 for the assessments as of both of these 
dates,  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 $281.7 million and $284.8 million of goodwill at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A summary of

There was $75.2 million of accumulated impairment losses at December 31, 2018 and 2017, comprised of the impairment 

losses recognized in the third quarter of 2017 described above. 

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 the reversal of existing taxable 
temporary  differences,  taxable  income  in  prior  carryback  years  if  carryback  is  permitted  by  tax  law,  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 and tax planning strategies. 

60 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We regularly assess whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the deferred tax assets in the jurisdictions we 
operate  in.  Management  believes  future  sources  of  taxable  income,  reversing  temporary  differences  and  other  tax  planning 
strategies  will  be  sufficient  to  realize  the  deferred  tax  assets  for  which  no  valuation  allowance  has  been  established.  Our 
valuation allowances primarily relate to net operating loss carry forwards. While we have considered these factors in assessing 
the need for additional valuation allowances, there is no assurance that additional valuation allowances would not need to be 
established  in  the  future  if  information  about  future  years  change. Any  changes  in  valuation  allowances  would  impact  our 
income tax provision and net income (loss) in the period in which such a determination is made. As of December 31, 2018, our 
deferred tax assets were $73.7 million, less a valuation allowance of $10.5 million. As of December 31, 2018, our deferred tax 
liabilities were $61.6 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, 2018, our unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were $2.2 million. 

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and represented 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 has resulted 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  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission 
issued  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No.  118  (“SAB  118”),  which  required  companies  include  in  their  financial  statements 
estimates of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act to the extent such estimates have been determined. Under SAB 118, companies 
were 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 previously recorded certain estimates of the tax impact in its consolidated 
statement of operations for the fourth quarter of 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company finalized the 
recording of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act and recorded an income tax benefit of $1.8 million, reflecting an adjustment to the 
provisional estimate of the deemed repatriation transition tax. As a result of the final calculation of the transition tax liability, 
the Company also recorded an adjustment to the deferred tax liability associated with investments in foreign subsidiaries. 

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 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)  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) 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 and (3) 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. 

Amounts used in basic and diluted loss per share, for all periods presented, are as follows (in thousands): 

Weighted-average number of basic shares outstanding 
Stock options, stock units and performance awards 
Convertible senior notes

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, all outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded 
from  the  calculation  of  diluted  loss  per  share  because  their  inclusion  would  be  antidilutive  due  to  the  loss  from  continuing 
operations in those periods. Also, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, 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  periods.  For  information  on  our  convertible  senior  notes  and  our  share-based 
compensation awards, refer to Note 10 and Note 12, respectively. 

Non-cash  investing  and  financing  activities.  Non-cash  investing  and  financing  activities  are  excluded  from  the 

consolidated statements of cash flows and are as follows (in thousands):

Also, we had $1.4 million, $2.6 million, and $2.3 million of accrued capital expenditures as of December 31, 2018, 2017

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, 2018 or 2017 or for the years 
ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

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 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. 

Revision to prior period consolidated financial statements. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s 2018 
consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  identified  errors  in  its  previously  issued  2017  consolidated  financial 
statements. These prior period errors are related to the measurement of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. The prior 
period consolidated financial statements and other affected prior period financial information have been revised to correct these 
errors. The effect of correcting the errors increased our income tax benefit and favorably impacted our net loss by $19.7 million 
in  the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2017.  The  correction  also  resulted  in  an  increase  of  $19.7  million  to  previously 
reported  stockholders’  equity  as  of  December  31,  2017.  Based  on  an  analysis  of  quantitative  and  qualitative  factors,  the 
Company  determined  the  related  impacts  were  not  material  to  its  previously  filed  annual  or  interim  consolidated  financial 
statements, and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports are not required.

ASU  No. 2014-09.  In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued Accounting  Standards  Update  (“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 establishes ASC Topic 606, 
Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers.  (“ASC  606”).  We  adopted ASC  606  effective  January  1,  2018. ASC  606  replaces 
most of the previous revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. Most of our contracts with customers are short-term in nature 
and billed on a time and materials basis, while certain other contracts are at a fixed price. For these fixed price contracts, ASC 
606 generally results 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. The adoption of ASC 606 has not resulted in significant changes to 
the overall pattern or timing of our revenue recognition. 

To  account  for  the  cumulative  effect  of  initially  applying  ASC  606  as  of  January  1,  2018,  we  recognized  a  pre-tax 
increase to the opening balance of retained earnings of $8.8 million, pursuant to the modified retrospective transition method, 
for  certain  fixed-price  contracts  that  were  not  yet  completed  as  of  the  date  of  adoption.  The  cumulative  effect  of  adoption 
resulted in a net increase to prepaid expenses and other current assets of $8.5 million, a reduction to inventory of $0.4 million 
and  a  reduction  to other  accrued  liabilities  of  $0.7  million. Also, we recorded  the related  tax  impacts  as of  January  1, 2018, 
which resulted in a net reduction to the opening balance of retained earnings of $2.0 million and a corresponding increase to 
deferred tax liabilities. Because we have applied the modified retrospective transition method of adoption, comparative periods 
prior to January 1, 2018 were not retrospectively adjusted to reflect adoption of ASU 2014-09 and are presented in accordance 
with our historical accounting.

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. The adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2018 had no impact on our consolidated 
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 requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences 
of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Adoption of ASU 2016-16 on January 1, 
2018 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 

ASU No. 2016-18. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted 
Cash  (a  consensus  of  the  FASB  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force)  (“ASU  2016-18”),  which  states  that  inflows  and  outflows  of 
restricted cash and cash equivalents must be included in the statement of cash flows as cash inflows and outflows and must be 
included in cash and cash equivalents. We adopted of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. As a result of 
adoption,  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2016  was  retrospectively 
adjusted  to reflect  restricted cash  as part  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents. The  adjustment  resulted  in  a  $5.0  million  increase  to 
beginning cash and cash equivalents at January 1, 2016 and a $5.0 million decrease to cash flows from investing activities for 
the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, compared to amounts originally reported. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 had no 
impact to the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

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), in the “Other expense, net” line item of our consolidated statements of operations. Adoption 
of ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations. 

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. Our adoption of ASU 2017-09 on January 1, 2018 on a prospective 
basis did not have any 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 
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).  In  the  third  quarter  of  2018,  we  elected  to  early  adopt 
ASU 2017-12, with application as of January 1, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have any impact on our consolidated 
financial statements. 

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 2017 Tax Act. 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.  We  early  adopted  ASU  2018-02  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2018.  The  effect  of  adoption  resulted  in  an  increase  to 
retained earnings of $2.3 million and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss. 

ASU No. 2018-13. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure 
Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies and adds certain 
disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Our early adoption of ASU 2018-13 in the third quarter of 2018 did not 
have any impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 11 for our fair value disclosures. 

ASU No.  2018-14.   In  August  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2018-14, Compensation  —  Retirement  Benefits  — 
Defined Benefit Plans — General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for 
Defined  Benefit  Plans (“ASU  2018-14”),  which  modifies  the  disclosure  requirements  for  employers  that  sponsor  defined 
benefit plans or other postretirement plans. Our early adoption of ASU 2018-14 on December 31, 2018 did not have a material 
impact on our disclosures. Refer to Note 13 for our employee benefit plans disclosures. 

Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted 

Topic 842 - Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which establishes 
ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), replaced previous lease accounting guidance along with subsequent ASUs issued in 2018 
to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-02. ASC 842 changes the accounting for leases, including a requirement to record 
leases with terms of greater than twelve months on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities. ASC 842 will also require us to 
expand our financial statement disclosures on leasing activities. 

We will adopt Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 and intend to elect the modified retrospective transition method, which 
specified the comparative financial information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the lease standard in 
effect during those periods. We expect to elect the “package of practical expedients,” which permits us not to reassess under the 
new standard our prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We also intend to elect 

66 

 
the short-term lease recognition practical expedient in which leases with a term of 12 months or less will not be recognized on 
the  balance  sheet  and  the  practical  expedient  to  not  separate  lease  and  non-lease  components  for  the  majority  of  our  leases. 
Based  on  our  current  assessment  and  estimates,  we  expect  the  adoption  of ASC  842,  as  of  January  1,  2019,  to  result  in  the 
recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and additional net liabilities in the range of approximately $62 million to $72 
million. The cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings due to the adoption of ASC 842 is not expected to be material. 
We  do  not  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  ASC  842  will  result  in  any  material  impacts  to  our  statements  of  operations  or 
statements of cash flows. 

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 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. We 
are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting. 

2. REVENUE 

As discussed in “Newly Adopted Accounting Principles—ASU No. 2014-09” in Note 1, on January 1, 2018, we adopted 
ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which was applied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 
1, 2018. 

In  accordance  with  ASC  606,  we  follow  a  five-step  process  to  recognize  revenue:  1)  identify  the  contract  with  the 
customer,  2)  identify  the  performance  obligations,  3)  determine  the  transaction  price,  4)  allocate  the  transaction  price  to  the 
performance obligations and 5) recognize revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied. 

Most of our contracts with customers are short-term in nature and billed on a time and materials basis, while certain other 
contracts are at a fixed price. Certain contracts may contain a combination of fixed and variable elements. We act as a principal 
and have performance obligations to provide the service itself or oversee the services provided by any subcontractors. Revenue 
is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third 
parties,  such  as  taxes  assessed  by  governmental  authorities.  Generally,  in  contracts  where  the  amount  of  consideration  is 
variable, the amount is determinable each period based on our right to invoice (as discussed further below) the customer for 
services  performed  to  date. As  most  of  our  contracts  contain  only  one  performance  obligation,  the  allocation  of  a  contracts 
transaction price to multiple performance obligations is generally not applicable. Customers are generally billed as we satisfy 
our performance obligations and payment terms typically range from 30 to 90 days from the invoice date. Billings under certain 
fixed-price  contracts  may  be  based  upon  the  achievement  of  specified  milestones,  while  some  arrangements  may  require 
advance customer payment. Our contracts do not include significant financing components since the contracts typically span 
less than one year. Contracts generally include an assurance type warranty clause to guarantee that the services comply with 
agreed specifications. The warranty period typically is 12 months or less from the date of service. Warranty expenses were not 
material for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

Revenue  is  recognized  as  (or  when)  the  performance  obligations  are  satisfied  by  transferring  control  over  a  service  or 
product to the customer. Revenue recognition guidance prescribes two recognition methods (over time or point in time). Most 
of  our  performance  obligations  qualify  for  recognition  over  time  because  we  typically  perform  our  services  on  customer 
facilities or assets and customers receive the benefits of our services as we perform. Where a performance obligation is satisfied 
over time, the related revenue is also recognized over time using the method deemed most appropriate to reflect the measure of 
progress  and  transfer  of  control.  For  our  time  and  materials  contracts,  we  are  generally  able  to  elect  the  right-to-invoice 
practical expedient, which permits us to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice the customer if 
that  amount  corresponds  directly  with  the  value  to  the  customer  of  our  performance  completed  to  date.  For  our  fixed  price 
contracts,  we  typically  recognize  revenue  using  the  cost-to-cost  method,  which  measures  the  extent  of  progress  towards 
completion based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. 
Under this method, revenue is recognized proportionately as costs are incurred. For contracts where control is transferred at a 

67 

 
point  in  time,  revenue  is  recognized  at  the  time  control  of  the  asset  is  transferred  to  the  customer,  which  is  typically  upon 
delivery and acceptance by the customer. 

 Disaggregation  of  revenue.  Essentially  all  of  our  revenues  are  associated  with  contracts  with  customers.  A 
disaggregation  of  our  revenue  from  contracts  with  customers  by  geographic  region,  by  reportable  operating  segment  and  by 
service type is presented below (in thousands):

Contract balances. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in trade accounts receivable, 
contract assets and contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Trade accounts receivable include billed and unbilled 
amounts currently due from customers and represent unconditional rights to receive consideration. The amounts due are stated 
at  their  net  estimated  realizable  value.  Refer  to  Notes  1  and  4  for  additional  information  on  our  trade  receivables  and  the 
allowance  for  doubtful  accounts.  Contract  assets  include  unbilled  amounts  typically  resulting  from  sales  under  fixed-price 
contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized, the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to 
the customer and the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed 
their net realizable value. If we receive advances or deposits from our customers, a contract liability is recorded. Additionally, a 
contract  liability  arises  if  items  of  variable  consideration  result  in  less  revenue  being  recorded  than  what  is  billed.  Contract 
assets and contract liabilities are generally classified as current. 

The  following  table  provides  information  about  trade  accounts  receivable,  contract  assets  and  contract  liabilities  as  of 

December 31, 2018 and January 1, 2018, the date of adoption of ASC 606, (in thousands):

The $4.1 million decrease in our contract assets from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 is due to fewer fixed price 
contracts in progress at December 31, 2018 as compared to January 1, 2018, consistent with lower activity levels in the fourth 
quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter in 2017. The $3.6 million decrease in contract liabilities is due to our completion 
of  performance  obligations  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  associated  with  contracts  under  which  customers  had 
paid  for  all  or  a  portion  of  the  consideration  in  advance  of  the  work  being  performed.  Due  to  the  short-term  nature  of  our 
contracts, contract liability balances as of the end of any period are generally recognized as revenue in the following quarter. 
Accordingly, essentially all of the contract liability balance at January 1, 2018 was recognized as revenue during the year ended 
December 31, 2018. 

Contract  costs.  The  Company  recognizes  the  incremental  costs  of  obtaining  contracts  as  selling,  general  and 
administrative expenses when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is one 
year or less. Assets recognized for costs to obtain a contract were not material as of December 31, 2018 or January 1, 2018. 
Costs to fulfill a contract are recorded as assets if they relate directly to a contract or a specific anticipated contract, the costs 
generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and the costs are expected to 
be  recovered.  Costs  to  fulfill  recognized  as  assets  primarily  consist  of  labor  and  materials  costs  and  generally  relate  to 
engineering and set-up costs incurred prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations begins. Assets recognized for costs to 
fulfill  a  contract  are  included  in  the  “Prepaid  expenses  and  other  current  assets”  line  of  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  and 
were  not  material  as  of  December  31,  2018  and  January  1,  2018.  Such  assets  are  recognized  as  expenses  as  we  transfer  the 
related goods or services to the customer. All other costs to fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred. 

Remaining performance obligations. As of December 31, 2018 and January 1, 2018, there were no material amounts of 
remaining performance obligations that are required to be disclosed. As permitted by ASC 606, we have elected not to disclose 
information  about  remaining  performance  obligations  where  i)  the  performance  obligation  is  part  of  a  contract  that  has  an 
original  expected  duration  of  one  year  or  less  or  ii)  when  we  recognize  revenue  from  the  satisfaction  of  the  performance 
obligation in accordance with the right-to-invoice practical expedient. 

3. ACQUISITION 

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):

$ 

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 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 

69 

 
 
 
 
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 11. 

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  MS  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  16.  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 we recognized a total of $6.7 million 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 

71 

 
 
 
 
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  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

property,  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.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $28.7 million, $16.5 million and $16.1 
million, respectively. Amortization expense for current intangible assets is forecast to be approximately $14 million per year in 
2019 and 2020 and approximately $13 million per year in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The higher amortization expense in 2018 is 
primarily  due  to  a  change  in  the  estimated  useful  life  of  intangible  asset  associated  with  the  Furmanite  trade  name. 
Management determined that, as a result of initiatives to consolidate the Company’s branding, the useful life of this intangible 
asset was not expected to extend beyond December 31, 2018. In accordance with ASC 350, we accounted for the change in 
useful  life  prospectively  effective  January  1,  2018  and  amortized  the  remaining  balance  over  2018,  which  resulted  in 
incremental  amortization  expense  in  2018  of  $12  million.  The  weighted-average  amortization  period  for  intangible  assets 
subject to amortization was 13.5 years as of December 31, 2018. The weighted-average amortization period as of December 31, 
2018 is 13.6 years for customer relationships, 4.7 years for non-compete agreements, 14.3 years for trade names, 9.9 years for 
technology and 10.6 years for licenses.

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, our income tax benefit on the loss from continuing operations 
reflected an effective tax rate benefit of 33%, 39% and 20%, respectively. Our income tax benefit on continuing operations for 
the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016  was  $31.1  million,  $53.1  million  and  $3.1  million,  respectively,  and 
includes  federal,  state  and  foreign  taxes.  The  components  of  our  tax  benefit  on  continuing  operations  were  as  follows  (in

As of December 31, 2018, we had a valuation allowance of $10.5 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 assets on foreign and state net 
operating loss carry forwards. 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. 

At December 31, 2018, we had net operating loss carry forwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $132.3 million. 
Of this amount, $94.7 million expires in 2036 and 2037 and $37.6 million has an indefinite carry forward period. These carry 
forwards are available, subject to certain limitations, to offset future taxable income. Additionally, total federal net operating 
losses of $13.6 million will be carried back to prior years. Further, we have state net operating loss carry forwards of $92.0 
million with $77.1 million expiring various dates through 2038 and $14.9 million with an indefinite carry forward period. 

In addition, as of December 31, 2018, we have an alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards of approximately $2.4 
million which, under the 2017 Tax Act, can be used to offset regular income tax in future periods, or 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).  Also,  at 
December 31, 2018, there are research and development credit carry forwards of $1.2 million. 

As of December 31, 2018, we had foreign net operating loss carry forwards totaling $41.1 million that were expected to 

be realized in the future periods. A total of $24.9 million has an unlimited carry forward period and will therefore not expire. 

78 

 
 
 
 
 
   
 
   
At  December  31,  2018,  none  of  our  undistributed  earnings  of  foreign  operations  were  considered  to  be  permanently 
reinvested overseas. As of December 31, 2018, the deferred tax liability related to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries 
was $5.4 million. 

At December 31, 2018, we have established liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $2.2 million, inclusive of interest and 
penalties.  To  the  extent  these  uncertainties  are  ultimately  resolved  favorably,  the  resulting  reduction  of  recorded  liabilities 
would 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. The IRS audits for the tax years ended May 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015 have been 
completed  as  of  December  31,  2018,  and  the  final  audit  adjustment  recorded  was  not  material.  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 

(in thousands):

The 2017 Tax Act and SAB 118 Provisional Estimates 

On  December  22,  2017,  the  U.S.  government  enacted  the  2017  Tax  Act,  which  significantly  revised  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 estimates of the impact of the 2017 Tax Act to the extent such estimates have 
been determined. Accordingly, the Company recorded the following 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 an estimate of $8.4 million of tax benefit (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  has  elected  to  pay  the  transition  tax  in  installments  over  the  period  of  eight  years,  pursuant  to  the 
guidance of the new Internal Revenue Code Section 965, however in 2019 the Company will utilize available tax 
credits to fully offset remaining balance of the one-time transition tax liability. 

79 

 
 
 
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  an  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  an  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). 

Pursuant to the SAB 118, the company was 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. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company 
finalized  the  recording  of  the  impacts  of  the 2017 Tax Act  and recorded  an  income  tax benefit of $1.8  million,  reflecting  an 
adjustment to the provisional estimate of the deemed repatriation transition tax. In 2019, we will amend the one-time transition 
tax to include tax credits to offset the remainder of the tax liability on the transition tax. As a result of the final calculation of 
the transition tax liability, the Company also recorded an adjustment to the deferred tax liability associated with investments in 
foreign subsidiaries. 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company is subject to GILTI for earnings and profits of its foreign subsidiaries as well as 
BEAT for certain tax payments between a U.S. corporation and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no 
tax liabilities relating to GILTI or BEAT tax.

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 $600.0 million 
and consisted of a $400.0 million, five-year revolving loan facility and a $200.0 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 then-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 $300.0 
million revolving loan facility, subject to a borrowing availability test (based on eligible accounts, inventory and fixed assets). 
The  Credit  Facility  matures  on  July 7,  2020,  bears  interest  based  on  a  variable  Eurodollar  rate  option  (LIBOR  plus  3.00% 
margin at December 31, 2018) and has commitment fees on unused borrowing capacity (0.50% at December 31, 2018). The 
Credit Facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by 
its material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the 
guarantors’  tangible  and  intangible  property  (subject  to  certain  specified  exclusions)  and  by  a  pledge  of  all  of  the  equity 
interests in the Company’s material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests in the Company’s 
material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. 

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants, which were amended in March 2018 pursuant to the seventh amendment 
(the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Credit Facility. The Seventh Amendment eliminated the ratio of consolidated funded debt to 
consolidated EBITDA (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 ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Senior 
Secured Leverage Ratio,” as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) and the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated 
interest  charges  (the  “Interest  Coverage  Ratio,”  as  defined  in  the  Credit  Facility  agreement)  as  follows.  The  Company  is 
required to maintain a maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 as of December 31, 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 December 31, 2018 and not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019 and each quarter thereafter. As of December 31, 
2018, we are in compliance with these covenants. The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 
2.56 to 1.00 and 2.90 to 1.00, respectively, as of December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, we had $18.3 million of cash on 
hand  and  approximately  $66  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, 2018, we had $1.8 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that are being amortized over the life of the Credit Facility. 

 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 $22.8 million at December 31, 2018 and $22.5 million at December 31, 2017. 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: 

•  

•  

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. 

The  Notes  are  initially  convertible  into  10,599,067  shares  of  common  stock.  Previously,  because  the  Notes  could  be 
convertible in full into more than 19.99 percent of our outstanding common stock, we were 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 could converted into 
more than 5,964,858 shares of common stock.  At our annual shareholders’ meeting, held on May 17, 2018, our shareholders 
approved the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Notes. 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. 

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 

82 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.

The embedded derivative liability was reclassified to stockholders’ equity as of May 17, 2018 and is no longer marked to fair value each period, as discussed further below. It 
is excluded from the table above as of December 31, 2018. 
Included in the Long-term debt line of the consolidated balance sheets. 
Relates to the portion of the Notes accounted for under ASC 470-20 (defined below) and is included in the “Additional paid-in capital” line of the consolidated balance sheets. 

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 had not yet been obtained at the time the Notes were issued, the Company 
could have  been 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 could not be classified in stockholders’ equity and therefore the exception under 
ASC 815-15 did 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. 

83 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
   
 
   
 
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 were required to 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  were  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  was  applicable  to  approximately  60%  of  the  Notes, 
while the remaining 40% of the Notes are subject to ASC 470-20. 

As a result of obtaining shareholder approval for the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Notes, 
the embedded derivative meets the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity, effective on the date of shareholder approval. 
Accordingly, we recorded the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability in our results of operations through the 
shareholder approval date of May 17, 2018 and then reclassified the embedded derivative liability to stockholders’ equity at its 
May  17,  2018  fair  value  of $45.4  million during  the  second  quarter  of  2018.  The  related  income  tax  effects  of  the 
reclassification  charged  directly  to  stockholders’  equity  were $7.8  million. As  a  result  of  the  reclassification  to  stockholders’ 
equity, the embedded derivative will no longer be marked to fair value each period. Losses on the embedded derivative liability 
recognized in the consolidated statements of operations were $24.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 
(incurred in the first and second quarters of 2018). Gains on the embedded derivative liability recognized in the consolidated 
statements of operations were $0.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. 

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 11. 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). 

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, 2018, the remaining amortization period is 55 months.

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, 

84 

 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
   
 
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, 2018 the €12.3 million 
borrowing had a U.S. Dollar value of $14.1 million. 

As discussed above, we previously recorded an embedded derivative liability for a portion of the Notes. In accordance 
with  ASC  815-15,  the  embedded  derivative  instrument  was  recorded  at  fair  value  each  period  with  changes  in  fair  value 
reflected in our results of operations. No hedge accounting was applied. As a result of obtaining shareholder approval for the 
issuance of shares upon conversion of the Notes, we recorded the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability in 
our results of operations through the shareholder approval date of May 17, 2018 and then reclassified the embedded derivative 
liability to stockholders’ equity at its May 17, 2018 fair value of $45.4 million during the second quarter of 2018. As a result of 
the reclassification to stockholders’ equity, the embedded derivative is no longer marked to fair value each period. See Note 11 
for more information on the fair value measurement of the embedded derivative liability.

11. 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, 2018 and 2017. 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

The embedded derivative liability was reclassified to stockholders’ equity as of May 17, 2018 and is no longer marked to fair value each period, as discussed in Note 10. 

There were no transfers in and out of Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

The  fair  value  of  the  convertible  debt  embedded  derivative  liability  was  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. See Note 
10 for more information on the embedded derivative liability. 

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.

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,  2018,  there  were  approximately  1.5  million  restricted  stock  units, 
performance awards and stock options 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 “2016 Plan”), which replaced all of our 
previous equity compensation plans. The 2016 Plan authorized the issuance of share-based awards representing up to 2,000,000 
shares of common stock. In May 2018, our shareholders approved the 2018 Team, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), 
which replaced the 2016 Plan. The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of share-based awards representing up to 450,000 shares 
of common stock, plus the number of shares remaining available for issuance under the 2016 Plan, plus the number of shares 
subject to outstanding awards under specified prior plans that may become available for reissuance in certain circumstances. 
Shares issued in connection with our share-based compensation are issued out of authorized but unissued 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 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. 

Compensation expense related to share-based compensation totaled $12.3 million, $7.9 million and $7.3 million for the 
years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  Share-based  compensation  expense  reflects  an  estimate  of 
expected  forfeitures. At  December  31,  2018,  $18.2  million  of  unrecognized  compensation  expense  related  to  share-based 
compensation is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.4 years. The recognized income tax 
benefit totaled $2.5 million, $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 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 

88 

 
 
 
 
 
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  $7.9  million,  $7.1  million,  $7.2  million  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Transactions  involving  our  stock  units  and  director  stock  grants  for  the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2018  are

The  weighted-average  grant  date  fair  value  related  to  stock  units  and  director  stock  grants  during  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $13.64 and $34.23, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock units and director stock grants 
vested  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016  were  $4.8  million,  $3.0  million  and  $4.9  million, 
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 in 2017 (the “2017 Awards”) and in 2018 (the “2018 Awards”) are subject to a two-year performance period and 
a  concurrent  two-year  service  period.  For  the  2017  Awards,  the  performance  goal  is  separated  into  three  independent 
performance factors based on (i) relative total shareholder 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.  For  the  2018  Awards,  the  performance  goal  is  separated 
into two independent  performance  factors based on (i)  RTSR  as  measured  against  a designated peer  group  and  (ii)  results of 
operations over the two-year performance period, with possible payouts ranging from 0% to 200% of the target awards for each 
of the two performance factors. 

On January 24, 2018, we granted 350,000 performance units to our Chief Executive Officer that vest in 20% increments 
upon the achievement of five specified Company stock price milestones, subject to a minimum vesting period of one year and 
the  provision  of  service  through  each  of  the  vesting  dates.  Settlement  occurs  with  common  stock  within 30 days  of  the 
respective vesting dates. Any outstanding unvested performance units are forfeited on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. 

The RTSR and the stock price milestone factors are considered to be market conditions under GAAP. For performance 
units subject to market conditions, we determine the fair value of the performance units 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 for 
awards with market conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the longer of (i) the minimum required service period 
and (ii) the service period derived from the Monte Carlo simulation, separately for each vesting tranche. For performance units 
subject  to  market  conditions,  because  the  expected outcome  is  incorporated  into  the  grant  date  fair value  through the  Monte 
Carlo  simulation,  compensation  expense  is  not  subsequently  adjusted  for  changes  in  the  expected  or  actual  performance 
outcome. For performance units not subject to market conditions, we determine the fair value of each performance unit based 
on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. For these awards, we recognize compensation expense over the 

89 

 
 
 
 
 
   
 
   
vesting term on a straight-line basis based upon the performance target that is probable of being met, subject to adjustment for 
changes in the expected or actual performance outcome. Compensation expense (credit) related to performance awards totaled 
$4.3 million, $0.8 million and $(0.4) million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Transactions  involving  our  performance  awards  during  the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2018  are  summarized

The weighted-average grant date fair value related to performance stock units during the year ended December 31, 2017 
was  $19.68.  No  performance  stock  units  were  granted  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016.  The  intrinsic  value  of 
performance stock unit awards vested during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were $0.3 million, zero and 
$0.4 million, respectively. 

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 no compensation expense related to stock options for the year 
ended December 31, 2018, less than $0.1 million of expense for the year ended December 31, 2017, and $0.2 million for the 
year  ended  December  31,  2016.  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.

December 31, 2018 had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 3.5 years, and exercise prices ranging from $21.12 to 
$50.47.  The  intrinsic  value  of  stock  option  awards  exercised  was  insignificant  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and

13. 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,  2018,  2017,  and  2016  were  approximately  $11.0  million,  $10.4  million,  $7.1 
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 represented 
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. In connection with the sale of the Company’s 
Norwegian operations in 2018, all assets and liabilities associated with the Norwegian Plan were transferred to the buyer. 

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,  2018.  Estimated 
defined benefit pension plan contributions for 2019 are expected to be approximately $2.3 million. 

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 2.8%  as  of  December  31,  2018. 
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 3.3% for 2019 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.

Significant changes affecting pension benefit obligations in 2018 compared to 2017 primarily includes actuarial gains in 
2018 versus  actuarial  losses in  2017 due  to  changes  in  market  conditions  that  affect  the  financial  assumptions used  to value 
liabilities  as  well  as  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments  due  to  the  strengthening  of  the  U.S.  Dollar  versus  the  British 
Pound  in 2018. The  accumulated  benefit  obligation for  the  U.K. Plan was  $84.6  million  and $95.6 million  at  December  31,

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.

Investment objectives for the U.K. Plan, as of December 31, 2018, are to: 

•  

•  

•  

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 27.5% (range of 25% to 30%) for equity securities/diversified growth funds and 72.5% (range of 70% to 75%) for 
debt  securities.  During  2018,  the  U.K.  Plan  changed  its  asset  allocation  and  target  asset  allocations  to  reduce  investment 
strategy  risk  from  equity  to  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, 2018 

and 2017 by asset category:

14. 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,  2018,  eighty-three 
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 
unable to estimate the amount of liability to us, if any, associated with these lawsuits. 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 (the “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 late 2018 and early 2019, Quest Integrity settled with two of the 
three defendants and has appealed the ruling in the Delaware Case with the remaining defendant. 

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.

15. 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: IHT, MS Group and Quest Integrity Group. Furmanite, which we acquired in the first 
quarter of 2016 (see Note 3), is included in the MS 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. 

In July 2018, we announced an organizational restructuring and certain new leadership appointments. The organizational 
changes  include  a  Product  and  Service  Line  organization  and  an  Operations  organization.  The  Product  and  Service  Lines 
organization is responsible for value positioning and pricing, standardization of best practices, technical training and program 
development,  and  technology  innovation  across  Team’s  global  enterprise.  The  Operations  organization,  comprised  of  cross-
segment  divisions  aligned  by  major  geographic  regions,  will  be  responsible  for  executing  product  and  service  delivery  in 
accordance  with  established  Team  service  line  standards,  safety  and  quality  protocols. Overall  company  management  and 
decision-making  by  our  chief  operating  decision  maker  continues  to  be  performed  according  to  the  structure  of  the  three 
operating segments (IHT, MS and Quest Integrity). Accordingly, these changes had no effect on our reportable segments.

16. 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.  For  information  about  the  assets  and 
liabilities of discontinued operations acquired in the Furmanite acquisition, see Note 3. 

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

following (in thousands): 

Revenues 
Operating expenses 

Gross margin 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

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.

OneTEAM Program. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we engaged outside consultants to assess all aspects of our business 
for  improvement  and  cost  saving  opportunities.  In  the  first  quarter  of  2018,  we  completed  the  design  phase  of  the  project, 
known as OneTEAM, and entered in the deployment phase starting in the second quarter of 2018. As part of the OneTEAM 
Program, we have decided to eliminate certain employee positions. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, we have 
incurred severance charges of $6.7 million, which is also the amount we have incurred cumulatively to date. As the OneTEAM 
Program  continues,  we  expect  some  additional  employee  positions  may  be  identified  and  impacted,  resulting  in  additional 
severance costs. We expect that the OneTEAM Program will be largely completed in the first half of 2019.

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 due to a continuation of weak market conditions. This initiative was completed in 
the  latter  part  of  2017.  No  costs  or  expenses  were  recognized  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations  for  this  initiative 
during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. The resulting severance and related charges of this initiative, which were 
generally  recorded  in  the  third  and  fourth  quarters  of  2017,  amounted  to  $3.9  million  during  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2017. This is also the amount we have incurred cumulatively to date. Most of these expenses were paid in cash in 2017. 

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 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.

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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. At December 31, 2018, $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.

Income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) and the related earnings (loss) per share amounts for each of the quarters in 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2017 
are revised from those originally reported to correct errors in income tax expense (benefit) associated with the measurement of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. 
Based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company determined the related impacts were not material to its previously filed annual or interim 
consolidated financial statements, and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports are not required.

Includes a goodwill impairment loss of $75.2 million in the third quarter of 2017.

FIVE YEAR COMPARISON 

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. 

The following table presents our selected financial data. This information has been derived from our audited consolidated 
financial  statements.  This  historical  data  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  the 
related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” (in thousands, 
except per share data).

Exhibit 32.1 

In connection with the Annual Report of Team, Inc. (the Company) on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018 as 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof (the Report), I, Amerino Gatti, Chief Executive Officer
