GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

 

  1. Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Great Lakes”) and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate and make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature (except as otherwise noted), that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2013, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been included.

The components of costs of contract revenues include labor, equipment (including depreciation, maintenance, insurance and long-term rentals), subcontracts, fuel and project overhead. Hourly labor is generally hired on a project-by-project basis. Costs of contract revenues vary significantly depending on the type and location of work performed and assets utilized. Generally, capital projects have the highest margins due to the complexity of the projects, while coastal protection projects have the most volatile margins because they are most often exposed to variability in weather conditions.

The Company’s cost structure includes significant annual equipment-related costs, including depreciation, maintenance, insurance and long-term rentals. These costs have averaged approximately 20% to 23% of total costs of contract revenues over the prior three years. During the year, both equipment utilization and the timing of fixed cost expenditures fluctuate significantly. Accordingly, the Company allocates these fixed equipment costs to interim periods in proportion to revenues recognized over the year, to better match revenues and expenses. Specifically, at each interim reporting date the Company compares actual revenues earned to date on its dredging contracts to expected annual revenues and recognizes equipment costs on the same proportionate basis. In the fourth quarter, any over or under allocated equipment costs are recognized such that the expense for the year equals actual equipment costs incurred during the year.

The Company operates in four operating segments that, through aggregation, comprise two reportable segments: dredging and demolition. Four operating segments were aggregated into two reportable segments as the segments have similarity in economic margins, services, production processes, customer types, distribution methods and regulatory environment. The Company has determined that the operating segments are the Company’s four reporting units. Due to a decline in the overall financial performance and declining cash flows in the demolition reporting unit, the Company concluded there was a triggering event that required an interim impairment test for the reporting unit in the second quarter of 2013. The Company recorded an estimated preliminary goodwill impairment charge of $21,474 at the demolition reporting unit in the quarter ended June 30, 2013.This impairment of goodwill is discussed in Note 4.

The condensed consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

  2. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 522 and 554 thousand shares of potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding as the Company incurred a loss during these periods. The impact of these shares would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, zero options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the application of the treasury stock method. The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are as follows:

  4. Impairment of goodwill

The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is conducted in the third quarter of each year and interim evaluations are performed when the Company determines that a triggering event has occurred that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying value. Due to a decline in the overall financial performance and declining cash flows in the demolition reporting unit, the Company concluded there was a triggering event that required an interim impairment test for the reporting unit in the second quarter of 2013.

In connection with the Company’s preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company performed step one of the goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2013, which compared the fair value of the demolition reporting unit against its carrying amount, including goodwill. In deriving the fair value of the demolition reporting unit, the Company used both a market-based approach and an income-based approach. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, the Company uses the guideline public company method by applying estimated market-based enterprise value multiples to the reporting unit’s estimated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Based on the first step analysis, management concluded that the fair value of the demolition reporting unit was less than its carrying value; therefore, the Company performed step two of the goodwill impairment analysis.

Step two of the goodwill impairment analysis measures the impairment charge by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit in a hypothetical analysis that calculates implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is recorded as a loss on impairment of goodwill.

Management determined that the demolition reporting unit’s implied fair value of goodwill was below the carrying value as of June 30, 2013. As a result, the Company has estimated the range of impairment of goodwill between $19.0 million and $21.5 million and has recorded a preliminary estimated impairment charge of $21,474 in the second quarter of 2013. Due to the timing and complexity of the second step of the impairment test, which is required to determine the actual impairment of goodwill, the Company was unable to finalize the amount of impairment prior to filing this form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Any subsequent adjustment to the estimated impairment charge will be recorded in the 2013 third quarter.

  5. Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has been established by GAAP that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The accounting guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company held certain derivative contracts that it uses to manage commodity price risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, other nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The fair values of these financial instruments and nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at the reporting date are summarized as follows:

Fuel hedge contracts

The Company is exposed to certain market risks, primarily commodity price risk as it relates to the diesel fuel purchase requirements, which occur in the normal course of business. The Company enters into heating oil commodity swap contracts to hedge the risk that fluctuations in diesel fuel prices will have an adverse impact on cash flows associated with its domestic dredging contracts. The Company’s goal is to hedge approximately 80% of the fuel requirements for work in backlog.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company was party to various swap arrangements to hedge the price of a portion of its diesel fuel purchase requirements for work in its backlog to be performed through May 2014. As of June 30, 2013, there were 2.8 million gallons remaining on these contracts which represent approximately 80% of the Company’s forecasted fuel purchases through May 2014. Under these swap agreements, the Company will pay fixed prices ranging from $2.88 to $3.26 per gallon.

At each balance sheet date, unrealized gains and losses on fuel hedge contracts are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses realized upon settlement of fuel hedge contracts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as the fuel is utilized and included in fuel expense, which is a component of costs of contract revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At June 30, 2013, the fair value liability of the fuel hedge contracts was estimated to be $235 and is recorded in accrued expenses. At December 31, 2012 the fair value liability of the fuel hedge contracts was estimated to be $178 and is recorded in accrued expenses. The loss reclassified to earnings from changes in fair value of derivatives, net of cash settlements and taxes, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $291. The remaining gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2013 will be reclassified into earnings over the next eleven months, corresponding to the period during which the hedged fuel is expected to be utilized. The fair values of fuel hedges are corroborated using inputs that are readily observable in public markets; therefore, the Company determines fair value of these fuel hedges using Level 2 inputs.

The fair value of the fuel hedge contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

All other nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis are subject to fair value measurements and disclosures. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and measured on a nonrecurring basis consist of goodwill and long-lived assets, including other acquired intangibles. Goodwill and long-lived assets are measured at fair value to test for and measure impairment, if any, at least annually for goodwill or when necessary for both goodwill and long-lived assets.

The Company estimated the fair value of our demolition reporting unit for our goodwill impairment test by using both a market-based approach and an income-based approach. The income approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future market growth trends, forecasted revenues and expenses based upon historical operating data, appropriate discount rates and other variables. The market approach measures the value of a reporting unit through comparison to comparable companies. Under the market approach, the Company uses the guideline public company method by applying estimated market-based enterprise value multiples to the reporting unit’s estimated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company analyzed companies that performed similar services or are considered peers.

Other financial instruments

The carrying value of financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Based on timing of the cash flows and comparison to current market interest rates, the carrying value of our senior revolving credit agreement approximates fair value. In January 2011, the Company issued $250,000 of 7.375% senior notes due February 1, 2019, which were outstanding at June 30, 2013. The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the senior notes. The fair value of the senior notes was $259,063 at June 30, 2013, which is a Level 1 fair value measurement as the senior notes value was obtained using quoted prices in active markets.

  7. Long-term debt

On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into a senior revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and an Issuing Lender, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent and PNC Bank, National Association, BMO Harris Bank N.A. and Fifth Third Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents. The Credit Agreement, which replaced the Company’s former revolving credit agreement, provides for a senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $175,000, subfacilities for the issuance of standby letters of credit up to a $125,000 sublimit, multicurrency borrowings up to a $50,000 sublimit and swingline loans up to a $10,000 sublimit. The Credit Agreement also includes an incremental loans feature that will allow the Company to increase the senior revolving credit facility by an aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000. This is subject to lenders providing incremental commitments for such increase, provided that no default or event of default exists, and the Company will be in pro forma compliance with the existing financial covenants both before and after giving effect to the increase, and subject to other standard conditions. The prior credit agreement with Bank of America N.A. was terminated.

Depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), borrowings under the new revolving credit facility will bear interest at the option of the Company of either a LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 1.50% to 2.50% per annum or a base rate plus a margin of between 0.50% to 1.50% per annum.

The credit facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (including non-payment of principal or interest on any material debt and breaches of covenants) as well as events of default relating to certain actions by the Company’s surety bonding provider. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a net leverage ratio less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.12x, resulting in an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

On March 15, 2013, the Company executed a Waiver and Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Waiver and Amendment”) pursuant to which the counterparties thereto agreed, among other things, to waive any default, event of default, or possible event of default, as applicable, related to the Company’s failure to meet the above-described financial covenant in the Credit Agreement.

Separately, the Company determined that a perfection trigger event had occurred under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2012. As a result, the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, which were previously unsecured, are now secured by liens on certain of the Company’s vessels and all of its domestic accounts receivable, subject to the liens and interests of certain other parties holding first priority perfected liens. Under the original terms of the Credit Agreement, the obligations thereunder that became secured under these circumstances could again become unsecured provided that (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Company has maintained for two consecutive quarters, and is projected to maintain for the next two consecutive quarters, a total leverage ratio less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.0. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Waiver and Amendment, this provision has been amended to add the additional condition that no release of the liens securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement can occur until the Company has delivered to the lenders its audited financial statements with respect to its fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

The obligations of Great Lakes under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each existing and subsequently acquired or formed material direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company. During a year, the Company frequently borrows and repays amounts under its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $41,000 of borrowings on the revolver and $74,228 of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $59,772 of availability under the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its various covenants under its Credit Agreement.

The Company has a $24,000 international letter of credit facility that it uses for the performance and advance payment guarantees on the Company’s foreign contracts. As of June 30, 2013, Great Lakes had no letters of credit outstanding under this facility. At June 30, 2013, the Company also had $250,000 of 7.375% senior notes outstanding, which mature in February 2019.

 

  8. Share-based compensation

The Company’s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to its employees and directors for up to 5.8 million shares of common stock.

In May 2013, the Company granted 369 thousand options to purchase shares of common stock and 217 thousand restricted stock units to certain employees pursuant to the plan. In addition, all non-employee directors on the Company’s board of directors are paid a portion of their board-related compensation in stock grants. Compensation cost charged to expense related to share-based compensation arrangements was $730 and $1,452, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $699 and $1,714, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

  9. Segment information

The Company and its subsidiaries currently operate in two reportable segments: dredging and demolition. The Company’s financial reporting systems present various data for management to run the business, including profit and loss statements prepared according to the segments presented. Management uses operating income to evaluate performance between the two segments. Segment information for the periods presented is provided as follows:

The majority of the Company’s long-lived assets are marine vessels and related equipment. At any point in time, the Company may employ certain assets outside of the U.S., as needed, to perform work on the Company’s foreign projects.

Additionally, the Company has identified certain pending change orders for one demolition project for which previously recognized revenue no longer meets the Company’s policy for revenue recognition. The Company has reversed the recognition of revenue for these pending change orders because of new developments in the second quarter. These developments include the Company filing a lawsuit and lien against the general contractor and recent communications with the general contractor and the site owner. As a result of these reversals, contract revenues were reduced by $5,568 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Commercial commitments

Performance and bid bonds are customarily required for dredging and marine construction projects, as well as some demolition projects. In September 2011, the Company entered into a bonding agreement with Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”) under which the Company can obtain performance, bid and payment bonds. Bid bonds are generally obtained for a percentage of bid value and amounts outstanding typically range from $1,000 to $10,000. At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding performance bonds valued at approximately $647,263; however, the revenue value remaining in backlog related to these projects totaled approximately $289,761.

Certain foreign projects performed by the Company have warranty periods, typically spanning no more than one to three years beyond project completion, whereby the Company retains responsibility to maintain the project site to certain specifications during the warranty period. Generally, any potential liability of the Company is mitigated by insurance, shared responsibilities with consortium partners, and/or recourse to owner-provided specifications.

Legal proceedings and other contingencies

As is customary with negotiated contracts and modifications or claims to competitively bid contracts with the federal government, the government has the right to audit the books and records of the Company to ensure compliance with such contracts, modifications, or claims, and the applicable federal laws. The government has the ability to seek a price adjustment based on the results of such audit. Any such audits have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on the financial position, operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could ultimately be decided, resolved, or settled adversely to the Company. Although the Company is subject to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business, except as described below, the Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings or environmental claims. The Company records an accrual when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

On August 26, 2009, the Company’s subsidiary, NASDI, LLC (“NASDI”), received a letter stating that the Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is investigating alleged violations of the Massachusetts Solid Waste Act. The Company believes that the Massachusetts Attorney General is investigating illegal dumping activities at a dump site NASDI contracted with to have waste materials disposed of between September 2007 and July 2008. Per the Massachusetts Attorney General’s request, NASDI executed a tolling agreement regarding the matter in 2009 and engaged in further discussions with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office in the second quarter of 2011. Should a claim be brought, NASDI intends to defend itself vigorously. Based on consideration of all of the facts and circumstances now known, the Company does not believe this claim will have a material impact on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On March 27, 2011, NASDI received a subpoena from a federal grand jury in the District of Massachusetts directing NASDI to furnish certain documents relating to certain projects performed by NASDI since January 2005. The Company conducted an internal investigation into this matter and continues to fully cooperate with the federal grand jury subpoena. Based on the limited information known to the Company, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s views of the issues being investigated, any action the U.S. Attorney may take, or the impact, if any, that this matter may have on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On March 19, 2013, the Company and three of its current and former executives were sued in a securities class action in the Northern District of Illinois captioned United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers & Allied Workers Local Union No. 8 v. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-02115. The lawsuit, which was brought on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s securities between August 7, 2012 and March 14, 2013, primarily alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the recognition of revenue in the demolition segment and with regard to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This suit was filed following the Company’s announcement on March 14, 2013 that it would restate its second and third quarter 2012 financial statements. Two additional, similar lawsuits captioned Boozer v. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-02339, and Connors v. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-02450, were filed in the Northern District of Illinois on March 28, 2013, and April 2, 2013, respectively. These three actions were consolidated and recaptioned In re Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, Case No. 1:13-cv-02115, on June 10, 2013. The Company denies liability and intends to vigorously defend this action.

On March 28, 2013, the Company was named as a nominal defendant, and its directors were named as defendants, in a shareholder derivative action in DuPage County Circuit Court in Illinois captioned Hammoud v. Berger et al., Case No. 2013CH001110. The lawsuit primarily alleges breaches of fiduciary duties related to allegedly false and misleading statements regarding the recognition of revenue in the demolition segment and with regard to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which exposed the Company to securities litigation. A second, similar lawsuit captioned The City of Haverhill Retirement System v. Leight et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-02470, was filed in the Northern District of Illinois on April 2, 2013 and was voluntarily dismissed on June 10, 2013. A third, similar lawsuit captioned St. Lucie County Fire District Firefighters Pension Trust Fund v. Leight et al., Case No. 13 CH 15483, was filed in Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois on July 8, 2013, and a fourth, similar lawsuit (that additionally named one current and one former executive as defendants) captioned Griffin v. Berger et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-04907, was filed in the Northern District of Illinois on July 9, 2013.

In 2012, the Company contracted with a shipyard to perform the functional design drawings, detailed design drawings and follow on construction of a new Articulated Tug & Barge (“ATB”) Trailing Suction Hopper Dredge. In April 2013, the Company terminated the contract with the shipyard for default and the counterparty sent the Company a notice requesting arbitration under the contract on the Company’s termination for default, including but not limited to the Company’s right to draw on letters of credit that had been issued by the shipyard as financial security required in the contract. In May 2013, the Company drew upon the shipyard’s letters of credit related to the contract and received $13,600. As the matter is currently in arbitration, the Company has recorded the receipts from the letters of credit as a long-term liability and intends to use the proceeds to offset current and future costs of the ATB that are a result of the contract default, among other things. The Company cannot be assured of the outcome of the arbitration. The Company intends to pursue its claim for damages resulting from the termination in arbitration.

The Company has not accrued any amounts with respect to the above matters as the Company does not believe, based on information currently known to it, that a loss relating to these matters is probable, and an estimate of a range of potential losses relating to these matters cannot reasonably be made.

In May 2013, the Company concluded its litigation regarding the dredge New York loss of use claim. In January 2008, the Company filed suit against the M/V Orange Sun and her owners for damages incurred by the Company in connection with the allision in the approach channel to Port Newark, New Jersey. The Company received $13,272 which is included in proceeds from loss of use claim.

 

  11. Subsidiary guarantors

The Company’s long-term debt at June 30, 2013 includes $250,000 of 7.375% senior notes due February 1, 2019. The Company’s obligations under these senior unsecured notes are guaranteed by the Company’s 100% owned domestic subsidiaries. Such guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Great Lakes” or the “Company”), or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements.

General

The Company is the largest provider of dredging services in the United States. In addition, the Company is the only U.S. dredging service provider with significant international operations, which represented 23% of its dredging revenues for the first six months of 2013, above the Company’s prior three year average of 16%. The mobility of the Company’s fleet enables the Company to move equipment in response to changes in demand for dredging services.

Dredging generally involves the enhancement or preservation of navigability of waterways or the protection of shorelines through the removal or replenishment of soil, sand or rock. The U.S. dredging market consists of three primary types of work: capital, coastal protection and maintenance. The Company’s “bid market” is defined as the aggregate dollar value of domestic projects on which the Company bid or could have bid if not for capacity constraints. The Company experienced an average combined bid market share in the U.S. of 37% over the prior three years, including 29%, 60% and 31% of the domestic capital, coastal protection and maintenance sectors, respectively. The Company’s average bid market share of rivers & lakes in the two years of activity since the Matteson acquisition is 43%.

The Company’s largest domestic dredging customer is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the “Corps”), which is responsible for federally funded projects related to navigation and flood control of U.S. waterways. In the first six months of 2013, the Company’s dredging revenues earned from contracts with federal government agencies, including the Corps as well as other federal entities such as the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy, and third parties operating under contracts with federal agencies, were approximately 45% of dredging revenues, compared to the Company’s prior three year average of 62%.

The Company’s demolition subsidiaries, collectively, are a U.S. provider of commercial and industrial demolition and remediation services such as exterior and interior demolition for site preparation as well as environmental remediation. Historically, the majority of the work was performed in the New England area. Through increased collaboration with Great Lakes’ other lines of business, the demolition operations are pursuing opportunities outside of the New England area and into the marine demolition markets, specifically bridge demolition across the eastern part of the U.S. Through an acquisition in 2012, the segment’s scope of work has expanded into the Midwest U.S. market. In the first six months of 2013, demolition revenues accounted for 9% of total revenues, compared to the prior three year average of 14%.

The Company also owns 50% of Amboy Aggregates (“Amboy”) and 50% of TerraSea Environmental Solutions (“TerraSea”) as joint ventures. Amboy’s primary business is dredging sand from the entrance channel to the New York harbor in order to provide sand and aggregate for use in road and building construction and for clean land fill. Amboy also imports stone from upstate New York and Nova Scotia and distributes it throughout the New York area. TerraSea is engaged in the environmental services business through its ability to remediate contaminated soil and dredged sediment treatment.

Table of Contents

The Company operates in four operating segments that, through aggregation, comprise two reportable segments: dredging and demolition. Four operating segments were aggregated into two reportable segments as the segments have similarity in economic margins, services, production processes, customer types, distribution methods and regulatory environment. The Company has determined that the operating segments are the Company’s four reporting units.

Adjusted EBITDA, as provided herein, represents net income attributable to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, debt extinguishment, accelerated maintenance expense for new international deployments and goodwill impairment. In 2012, the Company modified the Adjusted EBITDA calculation for accelerated maintenance expense for new international deployments that are not directly recoverable under the related dredging contract and are therefore expensed as incurred. The Company does not frequently incur significant accelerated maintenance as a part of its international deployments. As such, the exclusion of these accelerated maintenance expenses from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA allows users of the financial statements to more easily compare our year-to-year results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure derived in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as an additional measure by which to evaluate the Company’s operating trends. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a measure frequently used to evaluate performance of companies with substantial leverage and that the Company’s primary stakeholders (i.e., its stockholders, bondholders and banks) use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s period to period performance. Additionally, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a transparent measure of the Company’s recurring operating performance and allows management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. For this reason, the Company uses a measure based upon Adjusted EBITDA to assess performance for purposes of determining compensation under the Company’s incentive plan. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with GAAP including: (a) operating income as an indicator of operating performance; or (b) cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. As such, the Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA, instead of a GAAP measure, has limitations as an analytical tool, including the inability to determine profitability or liquidity due to the exclusion of accelerated maintenance expense for new international deployments, goodwill impairment, interest and income tax expense and the associated significant cash requirements and the exclusion of depreciation and amortization, which represent significant and unavoidable operating costs given the level of indebtedness and capital expenditures needed to maintain the Company’s business. For these reasons, the Company uses operating income to measure the Company’s operating performance and uses Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement. The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation:

Total revenue for the 2013 second quarter was $152.9 million, down $10.2 million or 6% from $163.1 million during the 2012 second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, total revenue increased to $341.7 million from $318.0 million during such period in 2012, an increase of 7%. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, increases in domestic and foreign capital and coastal protection revenues were offset by decreases in maintenance, rivers & lakes and demolition revenues.

Capital dredging consists primarily of port expansion projects, which involve the deepening of channels to allow access by larger, deeper draft ships and the provision of land fill used to expand port facilities. In addition to port work, capital projects also include land reclamations, trench digging for pipelines, tunnels and cables, and other dredging related to the construction of breakwaters, jetties, canals and other marine structures. Domestic capital dredging revenue decreased by $5.7 million, or 13%, to $39.5 million, in the 2013 second quarter compared to the 2012 second quarter. Domestic capital dredging revenue increased $12.9 million, or 18%, in the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Domestic capital dredging revenues in the first half of 2013 continued to be generated by two coastal restoration projects in Louisiana as well as deepening projects in Delaware and New York. These increases were slightly offset by a project in Florida during the first half of 2012 that did not reoccur in 2013.

Foreign dredging revenue increased $12.5 million, or 60%, for the second quarter of 2013 to $33.3 million, and increased $32.9 million to $71.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue in the first half of 2013 was driven by a significant project in Qatar as well as the mobilization and commencement of dredging activities for the Wheatstone LNG Project in Western Australia and a project in Brazil.

Coastal protection projects involve moving sand from the ocean floor to shoreline locations where erosion threatens shoreline assets. Coastal protection revenue in the 2013 second quarter increased $11.8 million, or 29%, from the 2012 second quarter. Year-to-date 2013 coastal protection revenue increased $37.5 million, or 52%, compared to the first two quarters of 2012. The increase in revenue during the first half of 2013 is primarily the result of projects in New York and New Jersey, which included some emergency work as well as supplemental work as a result of Superstorm Sandy. Additionally, the Company worked on projects in North Carolina and Florida.

Maintenance dredging consists of the re-dredging of previously deepened waterways and harbors to remove silt, sand and other accumulated sediments. Due to natural sedimentation, most channels generally require maintenance dredging every one to three years, thus creating a recurring source of dredging work that is typically non-deferrable if optimal navigability is to be maintained. In addition, severe weather such as hurricanes, flooding and droughts can also cause the accumulation of sediments and drive the need for maintenance dredging. Maintenance revenue in the 2013 second quarter decreased by $13.4 million, or 67%, compared to the 2012 second quarter. Maintenance revenue in the first six months of 2013 decreased by $26.2 million, or 43%, compared to the first six months of 2012. The Company performed a greater amount of harbor work in the first two quarters of 2012 that was not repeated in the first two quarters of 2013. In addition, the Company worked on a large maintenance project in Louisiana in the first half of 2012 that did not reoccur in the first half of 2013. The Company worked on projects in Florida, Maryland and Georgia during the first six months of 2013.

Domestic rivers & lakes dredging and related operations typically consist of lake and river dredging, inland levee and construction dredging, environmental restoration and habitat improvement and other marine construction projects. Rivers & lakes revenue in the second quarter of 2013 was $4.8 million, a decrease of $4.0 million or 45% compared to the second quarter of 2012. Year-to-date 2013 revenue was $10.2 million compared to $15.8 million, a decrease of 35%, compared to the first six months of 2012. This decrease was attributable to projects in Mississippi and along the Mississippi River that did not reoccur during the 2013 first half. Rivers & lakes continued work on its large municipal lake project in Texas during the first six months of 2013.

The Demolition segment which consists of demolition and remediation services recorded revenues of $16.6 million and $31.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $27.9 million and $60.5 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease is partially attributable to a higher backlog at year end 2011, compared to 2012, excluding the backlog acquired by the Company on December 31, 2012 in conjunction with the Terra acquisition, which resulted in a greater number of projects for the demolition segment in the 2012 first half. Additionally, the Company has identified certain pending change orders for one demolition project for which previously recognized revenue no longer meets the Company’s policy for revenue recognition. The Company has reversed the recognition of revenue for these pending change orders because of new developments in the second quarter. These developments include the Company filing a lawsuit and lien against the general contractor and recent communications with the general contractor and the site owner. As a result of these reversals, contract revenues were reduced by $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The year-to-date decrease was partially offset by $16.2 million of revenue earned from the business acquired from Terra Contracting, LLC which did not become a part of the Company until the first quarter of 2013.

Consolidated gross profit for the 2013 second quarter decreased by 72% to $5.2 million, from $18.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit margin (gross profit divided by revenue) for the 2013 second quarter decreased to 3.4% from 11.5% in the 2012 second quarter. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by 20% to $31.0 million from $38.7 million in the same 2012 period, resulting in a decrease in gross profit margin to 9.1% from 12.2%. Gross profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was lower due to dredging mechanical and production delays, lower fixed cost coverage as well as the reversal of demolition revenue noted above and lower demolition margins on fewer projects.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses totaled $18.3 million and $37.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. General and administrative expenses totaled $11.5 million and $24.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. During the 2013 first half, the Company incurred additional payroll and benefit expenses representing an increase of $1.1 million over the same period in 2012. General and administrative expenses of $4.6 million related to the Terra business acquisition also contributed to the increase as the business did not become part of the Company until the first quarter of 2013. An increase in legal and professional fees of $2.6 million, technical and consulting of $0.9 million and additional bad debt expense of $2.3 million also contributed to the year-to-date 2013 increase compared to the same period in 2012.

In May 2013, the Company concluded its litigation regarding the dredge New York loss of use claim. In January 2008, the Company filed suit against the M/V Orange Sun and her owners for damages incurred by the Company in connection with the allision in the approach channel to Port Newark, New Jersey. The Company received $13.3 million which is included in proceeds from loss of use claim in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.

The operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $21.4 million compared to operating income of $7.3 million in the same period of 2012. The Company had an operating loss of $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to operating income of $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in operating income is due to the goodwill impairment charge recorded at the demolition reporting unit during the 2013 second quarter as well as lower operating margins and higher general administrative expenses, partially offset by the receipt of claim proceeds, as described above.

The Company’s net interest expense totaled $5.4 million and $11.1 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, in line with interest expense of $5.4 million and $10.6 million from the same period of 2012.

The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was a benefit of $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, compared to $0.8 million and $1.3 million of provision for the same 2012 periods. The increase in income tax benefit was attributable to the losses generated in the 2013 first half. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was impacted by the nondeductible pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $21.5 million. Excluding this item, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 would be 36.8%, which is substantially consistent with the effective tax rate of 38.1% for the same period of 2012. The Company expects the tax rate for the full year before consideration of nondeductible pretax items to remain near 39%.

Net loss attributable to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation was $25.2 million and the loss per diluted share was $0.42 for the 2013 second quarter compared to net income attributable to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation of $1.3 million and earnings per share of $0.02 for the same 2012 period. Net loss attributable to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation and loss per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $24.8 million and $0.42, respectively, compared to Net income attributable to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation of $2.3 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.04 for the same 2012 period. The decrease in 2013 is due to lower operating results for the periods described above which includes the noncash goodwill impairment charge incurred in the second quarter of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined on page 27) was $11.0 million and $29.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with $17.0 million and $31.7 million in the same 2012 periods. This decrease is the result of lower operating income described above.

Results by segment

Dredging

Dredging revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were $136.5 million and $310.4 million, respectively, compared to $135.3 million and $259.0 million for the same periods of 2012. The dredging segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included increases in coastal protection and domestic and foreign capital revenues. These increases were partially offset by lower maintenance and rivers & lakes revenues. Increases in dredging revenues for the 2013 first half were driven by a significant project in Qatar and two coastal restoration projects in Louisiana as well as the mobilization and commencement of dredging activities in Western Australia and Brazil.

Gross profit margin in the dredging segment was 9.1% and 14.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to gross profit margin of 16.1% and 14.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Dredging gross profit margin slightly declined due to lower fixed cost coverage of the dredging fleet as well as mechanical and production delays during the first six months of 2013. Although the gross profit margin decreased, the overall gross profit increased on higher revenues.

Dredging segment operating income was $14.6 million and $33.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to operating income of $11.7 million and $16.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is a result of the increase in gross profit and proceeds from the dredge New York loss of use claim, slightly offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

Demolition

Demolition revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $16.6 million and $31.5 million, respectively, compared to $27.9 million and $60.5 million for the same 2012 periods. Demolition revenues for the 2013 first half were down due to a lower backlog at year end 2012, excluding the backlog acquired by the Company on December 31, 2012 in conjunction with the Terra acquisition, resulting in fewer projects on which to earn revenue in the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Additionally, the Company has identified certain pending change orders for one demolition project for which previously recognized revenue no longer meets the Company’s policy for revenue recognition. The Company has reversed the recognition of revenue for these pending change orders because of new developments in the second quarter. These developments include the Company filing a lawsuit and lien against the general contractor and recent communications with the general contractor and the site owner. As a result of these reversals, contract revenues were reduced by $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The year-to-date decrease was partially offset by $16.2 million of revenue earned from the business acquired from Terra Contracting, LLC which did not become a part of the Company until the first quarter of 2013.

The demolition segment had a negative gross profit margin of 43.8% and 40.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and a negative gross profit margin of 11.2% and a gross profit margin of 1.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. During the first half of 2013, the demolition segment experienced lower revenue and cost overruns on projects.

The demolition segment had an operating loss of $36.0 million and $48.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to an operating loss of $4.4 million and $2.5 million for the same periods of 2012. The foregoing decrease in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was due to the lower gross margin, the goodwill impairment charge in the 2013 second quarter as well as an increase in general and administrative expenses, specifically additional bad debt expense of $2.3 million and $4.6 million related to the Terra business acquisition as the business did become part of the Company until the first quarter of 2013.

* December 31, 2012 demolition backlog includes backlog acquired by the Company on December 31, 2012 in connection with the Terra acquisition.

The Company’s contract backlog represents its estimate of the revenues that will be realized under the portion of the contracts remaining to be performed. For dredging contracts these estimates are based primarily upon the time and costs required to mobilize the necessary assets to and from the project site, the amount and type of material to be dredged and the expected production capabilities of the equipment performing the work. For demolition contracts, these estimates are based on the time and remaining costs required to complete the project, relative to total estimated project costs and project revenues agreed to with the customer. However, these estimates are necessarily subject to variances based upon actual circumstances. Because of these factors, as well as factors affecting the time required to complete each job, backlog is not always indicative of future revenues or profitability. Also, 57% of the Company’s June 30, 2013 dredging backlog relates to federal government contracts, which can be canceled at any time without penalty to the government, subject to the Company’s contractual right to recover the Company’s actual committed costs and profit on work performed up to the date of cancellation. The Company’s backlog may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter based upon the type and size of the projects the Company is awarded from the bid market. A quarterly increase or decrease of the Company’s backlog does not necessarily result in an improvement or a deterioration of the Company’s business. The Company’s backlog includes only those projects for which the Company has obtained a signed contract with the customer.

The domestic dredging bid market for the 2013 second quarter totaled $329.2 million, resulting in $558.3 million of work awarded during the first six months of 2013. This represents an increase of $205.1 million from the same period in the prior year. During the quarter the Company was awarded the first phase of the PortMiami project, for $122 million. We currently expect the next two phases, totaling $80 million, to be awarded by January 2014. For the contracts released in the current year, the Company won 76%, or $231.9 million, of the domestic capital projects, 63%, or $80.7 million, of the coastal protection projects awarded through June 30, 2013, as well as 24%, or $29.2 million, of the maintenance projects and 57%, or $4.6 million, of the rivers & lakes projects awarded year-to-date through June 30, 2013. The Company won 62% of the overall domestic bid market through June 30, 2013, which is above the Company’s prior three year average of 37%, driven by the PortMiami projects and the high coastal protection win rate. Variability in contract wins from quarter to quarter is not unusual and one quarter’s win rate is generally not indicative of the win rate the Company is likely to achieve for a full year.

The Company’s contracted dredging backlog was $458.3 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $389.3 million as of December 31, 2012. These amounts do not reflect approximately $143.4 million of domestic low bids pending formal award and additional phases (“options”) pending on projects currently in backlog at June 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012 the amount of domestic low bids and options pending award was $82.1 million.

Domestic capital dredging backlog at June 30, 2013 was $142.2 million greater than at December 31, 2012 due to the award of the PortMiami project noted above. Dredging on this project is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company also continues to work on a deepening project in New York and two costal restoration projects in Louisiana. The Company expects two projects on the Delaware River to be let for bid in the next six months.

Coastal protection dredging backlog at June 30, 2013 was $13.8 million lower than at December 31, 2012 as the Company finished several beach projects in Florida, North Carolina and New Jersey. The Company began work renourishing beaches in Delaware and Florida as well as New Jersey which is the result of Superstorm Sandy which impacted the East Coast in October 2012. The government has appropriated $50.5 billion, including nearly $4.0 billion for Corps projects to assist the needed relief for the region. The Corps is expected to let for bid projects for East Coast markets from this funding throughout 2013.

Maintenance dredging backlog was $1.5 million lower at June 30, 2013 than at December 31, 2012. The Company completed work on six projects along the East Coast in the 2013 first half. Additionally, the Company won four maintenance projects in the quarter, two in the Gulf, one in South Carolina and one in Georgia. The maintenance bid market during the 2013 first half is down from the same period in the prior year due to dredges being made available for coastal protection projects as a result of Superstorm Sandy.

Rivers & lakes backlog is $2.5 million lower at June 30, 2013 than at December 31, 2012. Rivers & lakes continued to earn on projects in its backlog, including work on a lake in Texas and the Mississippi River and its tributaries performing maintenance dredging and levee repair projects. The Corps awarded the Company an option to the work it is performing on the Mississippi River during the 2013 first half.

Foreign capital dredging backlog decreased to $163.6 million at June 30, 2013 from $219.0 million at December 31, 2012, due primarily to the conclusion of work on our large land reclamation project in Bahrain that the Company has worked on since 2006. In addition, recognition of revenue on Wheatstone, a project in Brazil and other Middle East projects decreased backlog. We are currently in final negotiations for a project in the Middle East valued at over $100 million. Once finalized and awarded, we anticipate this project will increase utilization of the fleet in the Middle East for the next 18-24 months. The Company also sees additional opportunities in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and South America that it continues to pursue.

Demolition services backlog was $32.8 million higher at June 30, 2013 from December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily driven by an award to Terra Contracting and our Rivers & lakes group for project in the Midwest valued at approximately $30 million that will combine Terra Contracting’s services and Rivers & lakes’ dredging abilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are net cash flows provided by operating activities and proceeds from previous issuances of long term debt. The Company’s principal uses of cash are to meet debt service requirements, finance capital expenditures, provide working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Company’s net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $18.9 million, and $14.8 million, respectively. Normal increases or decreases in the level of working capital relative to the level of operational activity impact cash flow from operating activities. In the first six months of 2013, net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of lower net income and changes in accounts receivable and other operating assets between periods. At June 30, 2012 the Company’s working capital balances were above historical levels for accounts receivable, work in progress in foreign projects, and investments in pipe inventory to support dredging operations for projects in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Company’s net cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 totaled $14.1 million and $22.6 million, respectively. Investing activities in both periods primarily relate to normal course upgrades and capital maintenance of the Company’s dredging fleet. In May 2013, the Company drew upon a vendor performance obligation related to a vessel construction contract and received $13.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company spent $12.9 million on construction in progress for a vessel being built to our specifications that we intend to have funded through an operating lease upon delivery.

The Company’s net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $30.2 million and $(5.1) million, respectively. Increases were primarily due to net borrowings on the Company’s revolver during the 2013 first half of $41.0 million. The Company also paid $10.5 million on a promissory note related to the Terra acquisition.

On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into a senior revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and an Issuing Lender, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent and PNC Bank, National Association, BMO Harris Bank N.A. and Fifth Third Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents. The Credit Agreement, which replaced the Company’s former revolving credit agreement, provides for a senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $175 million, subfacilities for the issuance of standby letters of credit up to a $125 million sublimit, multicurrency borrowings up to a $50 million sublimit and swingline loans up to a $10 million sublimit. The Credit Agreement also includes an incremental loans feature that will allow the Company to increase the senior revolving credit facility by an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million. This is subject to lenders providing incremental commitments for such increase, provided that no default or event of default exists, the Company will be in pro forma compliance with the existing financial covenants both before and after giving effect to the increase and other standard conditions. The prior credit agreement with Bank of America N.A. was terminated.

Depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), borrowings under the new revolving credit facility will bear interest at the option of the Company of either a LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 1.50% to 2.50% per annum or a base rate plus a margin of between 0.50% to 1.50% per annum.

The credit facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (including non-payment of principal or interest on any material debt and breaches of covenants) as well as events of default relating to certain actions by the Company’s surety bonding provider. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a net leverage ratio less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.12x, resulting in an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

On March 15, 2013, the Company executed a Waiver and Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Waiver and Amendment”) pursuant to which the counterparties thereto agreed, among other things, to waive any default, event of default, or possible event of default, as applicable, related to the Company’s failure to meet the above-described financial covenant in the Credit Agreement.

Separately, the Company determined that a perfection trigger event had occurred under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2012. As a result, the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, which were previously unsecured, are now secured by liens on certain of the Company’s vessels and all of its domestic accounts receivable, subject to the liens and interests of certain other parties holding first priority perfected liens. Under the original terms of the Credit Agreement, the obligations thereunder that became secured under these circumstances could again become unsecured provided that (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Company has maintained for two consecutive quarters, and is projected to maintain for the next two consecutive quarters, a total leverage ratio less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.0. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Waiver and Amendment, this provision has been amended to add the additional condition that no release of the liens securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement can occur until the Company has delivered to the lenders its audited financial statements with respect to its fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

The obligations of Great Lakes under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each existing and subsequently acquired or formed material direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company. During a year, the Company frequently borrows and repays amounts under its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $41.0 million of borrowings on the revolver and $74.2 million of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $59.8 million of availability under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the line of credit may be limited based on the Company’s requirements to comply with its covenants. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its various covenants under its Credit Agreement.

The Company’s obligations under its international letter of credit facility are secured by the Company’s foreign accounts receivable. The Company’s obligations under its senior notes are unsecured. The Company’s material agreements related to long term debt contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on dividends, redemption and repurchases of capital stock, and the incurrence of indebtedness and requirements to maintain certain financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with its various covenants under the respective agreements as of June 30, 2013.

The impact of changes in functional currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar on non-U.S. dollar cash balances, primarily the Brazilian Real and Australian Dollar, is reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment, net within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Cash held in non-U.S. dollar currencies primarily is used for project-related and other operating costs in those currencies reducing the Company’s exposure to future realized exchange gains and losses.

The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents, its anticipated cash flows from operations and availability under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, capital expenditures and the scheduled debt service requirements for the next twelve months. Beyond the next twelve months, the Company’s ability to fund its working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments and dividends, if any, and to comply with all the financial covenants under the revolving credit facility and bonding agreement, depends on its future operating performance and cash flows, which in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of these principles requires significant judgments or an estimation process that can affect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company, as well as the related footnote disclosures. The Company continually reviews its accounting policies and financial information disclosures. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2013. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act a) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing such a reasonable assurance as a result of the identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as further described in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Notwithstanding the material weakness, management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Other than described below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management has developed a remediation plan to address the internal control deficiencies described above. Our plan was designed to ensure that each area affected by a material control weakness was remediated properly. The remediation plan included the following actions:

 

   

A comprehensive review of the organizational resources at our demolition segment, focused on the project management and accounting functions, to determine the appropriate level of staffing and skills and to ensure those resources are put in place.

 

   

The finance team at the demolition segment will report directly to the corporate finance function, instead of divisional leadership.

 

   

Increasing the level of resources in the accounting, internal audit and compliance functions at the corporate office.

 

   

Evaluating information technology systems in our demolition segment to ensure timely and accurate information is available for period-end reporting and analysis. The Company is currently installing new estimating and project management software at its demolition segment.

 

   

Training all appropriate demolition segment and corporate accounting personnel regarding the application of the Company’s accounting policy regarding revenue recognition.

Management is in the process of remediating the internal control deficiency. The remediation plan is being administered by the Chief Financial Officer and involves key leaders from across the organization, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Legal Officer.
