Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Plan of Business Operations
Limbach Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”), is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that was formed on July 20, 2016, as a result of a business combination with Limbach Holdings LLC (“LHLLC”). The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Limbach Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including LHLLC, Limbach Facility Services LLC, Limbach Company LLC, Limbach Company LP, Harper Limbach LLC, and Harper Limbach Construction LLC.
As of January 1, 2021, the Company renamed its existing two reportable segments to reflect our two distinct approaches to our customer base and to better align with our owner direct strategy. The previously named Construction Segment is now known as General Contractor Relationships (“GCR”); the previously named Service Segment is now known as Owner Direct Relationships (“ODR”). The Company operates in two segments that are based on the relationship with its customer, (i) GCR, in which the Company generally manages new construction or renovation projects that involve primarily heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”), plumbing, or electrical services awarded to the Company by general contractors or construction managers, and (ii) ODR, in which the Company provides maintenance or service primarily on HVAC, plumbing or electrical systems, building controls and specialty contracting projects direct to, or assigned by, building owners or property managers. This work is primarily performed under fixed price, modified fixed price, and time and material contracts over periods of typically less than two years.
The Company's customers operate in diverse industries including, but not limited to, healthcare, life sciences, data centers, industrial and light manufacturing, entertainment, education and government. The Company operates primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, and Southwestern regions of the United States.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption and volatility on a global scale resulting in, among other things, an economic slowdown and the possibility of a continued economic recession. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, national and local governments around the world instituted certain measures, including travel bans, restrictions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain non-essential businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. The various governmental actions have abated over time, but remain applicable to Limbach's operations in various ways, often varying by state. In some instances, these orders continued to affect certain projects in our GCR and ODR segments into the first quarter of 2021. In limited instances, during fiscal 2020, projects chose to shutdown work irrespective of the existence or applicability of government action. In most markets, construction is considered an essential business and Limbach continued to staff its projects and perform work during fiscal 2020 and into 2021, and most of the projects that were in progress at the time shutdowns commenced were restarted. The Company’s branches are expecting building owners to maintain or retrofit current facilities in lieu of funding larger capital projects as the effects of the pandemic remain ongoing and uncertain.
During fiscal 2020 and through the second quarter of 2021, the Company continued to take several actions to combat the adverse impacts that the COVID-19 outbreak had on our business including, but not limited to the following:
• Identification of projects that have been shut down and methods for seeking to preserve any contractual entitlement that may exist to recover monetary and time impacts;
• Establishment of a task force to identify possible types and areas of impact from COVID-19 for both shutdown and continuing operations;
• Examination of the Company's productivity and potential impact on gross profit as a result of COVID-19;
• Implementation of the Company's pandemic response plan;
• Implemented our furlough and work schedule reduction plans, as well as permanent reductions in force; and
• Temporarily suspended substantially all discretionary, non-essential expenditures, including but not limited to, auto allowances, deferral of rent ranging between 1 and 3 months; and
• A temporary 10% salary reduction for a select group of corporate and regional management, along with a 10% fee reduction in director compensation, and cost reduction opportunities identified by our external consultant.
Table of Contents
During the month of July 2020, with the substantial restart and return of project and service work, the Company removed the 10% salary reduction for the select group of corporate and regional management, along with the fee reduction for director compensation, returned auto allowances, reinstated positions, removed schedule reduction plans and discontinued our hiring freeze. During the remainder of 2020 and into 2021, the Company reinstituted limited travel and in-person meetings, along with encouraging employees to return to the office, field and training settings in a partial, flexible manner that is consistent with our Work From Home Policy and our COVID-19 Policy. The Company has remained steadfastly committed to our COVID-19 Policy as our work environment evolves in response to the changing landscape of the pandemic and in response to the increasing availability of vaccinations.
We continue to monitor the short and long term impacts of the pandemic. While our employees and customers have adapted to a new work environment and there continues to be scientific, societal and economic progress to address the effect of COVID-19, there remains significant uncertainty about the future impacts of the pandemic, including the potential effects on our operations. We remain cautiously optimistic about the markets in which we operate and the customers we serve; however, the spread of more contagious variants of the virus, including the current rapid increase of the Delta Variant, may impact economic activity and could cause projects to be delayed or canceled, or we may experience access restrictions to our customers’ facilities and project sites. Additionally, the spread of the Delta Variant has the near-term possibility of causing some state and local governments where we work to reinstitute restrictions that could impact our customers, vendors and our own ability to perform existing projects.
The ongoing effects of the pandemic, including decreased consumer confidence and economic instability, can make it extremely difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and could cause constrained spending on our services, delays and a lengthening of our business development efforts, the demand for more favorable pricing or other terms, and/or difficulty in collection of our accounts receivable. Our clients may face budget deficits or other financial constraints that prohibit them from funding proposed and existing projects. During the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first half of 2021, several of our business units experienced slowdowns in the closing of sales related to the ongoing effects of the pandemic, which impacted our revenue and profitability. These impacts may continue as the pandemic persists. Further, ongoing economic instability in the global markets, including from the pandemic, could limit our ability to access the capital markets at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our ability to react to changing business conditions or new opportunities. If economic conditions remain uncertain or weaken, or spending continues to be reduced, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
The Company continues to take steps to minimize the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and to protect the safety of its employees, and the Company continues to emphasize wearing of masks, more frequent washing of hands and tools, social distancing, and work protocols. Limbach's COVID-19 Policy is based on the best practices provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration for essential workers. Our updated Work From Home Policy, along with the Company's business continuity planning and information technology enhancements enabled an orderly transition to remote work and facilitated social distancing for salaried employees. Although the Company has not mandated vaccinations for employees, it is encouraging all employees to be vaccinated, in accordance with CDC recommendations.
Testing and inpatient treatment for COVID-19 is covered under our medical plan and fees have been waived since the onset of the pandemic. Counseling is available through our employee assistance plan to assist employees with financial, mental and emotional stress related to the virus and other issues.

Basis of Presentation
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X for smaller reporting companies. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Readers of this report should refer to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2021.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented are unaudited. Also, within the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have included unaudited information for these interim periods. These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2021, its results of operations and its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2021, but is presented as condensed and does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.
Note 3 – Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which affects general principles within Topic 740, and is meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and simplifies areas including franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The changes are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or presentation thereof.
Also in October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The amendments in this update remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements, situates all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure section of the Codification, and makes other improvements and technical corrections to the Codification. The amendments in Sections B and C of this amendment are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or presentation thereof.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced an expected credit loss methodology for the measurement and recognition of credit losses on most financial instruments, including trade receivables and off-balance sheet credit exposure. Under this guidance, an entity is required to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. This ASU also requires disclosure of information regarding how a company developed its allowance, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. The guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies on January 1, 2023 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. Based on our historical experience, the Company does not expect that this pronouncement will have a significant impact in its financial statements or on the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The FASB has issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting in March 2020. This new guidance provides optional expedients for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform, on financial reporting. The risk of termination of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), has caused regulators to undertake reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based that are less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 is effective between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022.

In addition, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The amendments in this update refine the scope for certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting to apply to derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the reference rate reform guidance (both ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01) on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Management has identified that its credit agreement utilizes LIBOR as a benchmark rate. Management will continue to evaluate the impact of adopting reference rate reform as the LIBOR benchmark rate within the credit agreement is phased out.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity and amends the scope guidance for contracts in an entity's own equity. The ASU addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the calculation of diluted earnings per share by using the if-converted method. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after March 31, 2024, albeit early adoption is permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Management is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 – Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts are comprised of the following:
| (in thousands) | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable - trade | $ | 94,881 | $ | 86,033 |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts | (266) | (266) | ||
| Accounts receivable, net | $ | 94,615 | $ | 85,767 |
Note 5 – Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company classifies contract assets and liabilities that may be settled beyond one year from the balance sheet date as current, consistent with the length of time of the Company’s project operating cycle.
Contract assets include costs in excess of billings and estimated earnings and amounts due under retainage provisions. The components of the contract asset balances as of the respective dates were as follows:
| (in thousands) | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | Change | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract assets | ||||||
| Costs in excess of billings and estimated earnings | $ | 38,200 | $ | 31,894 | $ | 6,306 |
| Retainage receivable | 32,615 | 35,204 | (2,589) | |||
| Total contract assets | $ | 70,815 | $ | 67,098 | $ | 3,717 |
Retainage receivable represents amounts invoiced to customers where payments have been partially withheld, typically 10%, pending the completion of certain milestones, satisfaction of other contractual conditions or the completion of the project. Retainage agreements vary from project to project and balances could be outstanding for several months or years depending on a number of circumstances such as contract-specific terms, project performance and other variables that may arise as the Company makes progress towards completion.
Table of Contents
Contract assets represent the excess of contract costs and profits (or contract revenue) over the amount of contract billings to date and are classified as a current asset. Contract assets result when either: 1) the appropriate contract revenue amount has been recognized over time in accordance with ASC Topic 606, but a portion of the revenue recorded cannot be currently billed due to the billing terms defined in the contract, or 2) costs are incurred related to certain claims and unapproved change orders. Claims occur when there is a dispute regarding both a change in the scope of work and the price associated with that change. Unapproved change orders occur when a change in the scope of work results in additional work being performed before the parties have agreed on the corresponding change in the contract price. The Company routinely estimates recovery related to claims and unapproved change orders as a form of variable consideration at the most likely amount it expects to receive and to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Claims and unapproved change orders are billable upon the agreement and resolution between the contractual parties and after the execution of contractual amendments. Increases in claims and unapproved change orders typically result from costs being incurred against existing or new positions; decreases normally result from resolutions and subsequent billings.
The current estimated net realizable value on such claims and unapproved change orders as recorded in contract assets and contract liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $40.1 million and $33.6 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company anticipates that the majority of such amounts will be approved or executed within one year. The resolution of these claims and unapproved change orders may require litigation or other forms of dispute resolution proceedings.
Contract liabilities include billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings and provisions for losses. The components of the contract liability balances as of the respective dates were as follows:
| (in thousands) | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | Change | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract liabilities | ||||||
| Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings | $ | 38,611 | $ | 46,020 | $ | (7,409) |
| Provisions for losses | 568 | 628 | (60) | |||
| Total contract liabilities | $ | 39,179 | $ | 46,648 | $ | (7,469) |
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent the excess of contract billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits (or contract revenue) recognized to date. The balance may fluctuate depending on the timing of contract billings and the recognition of contract revenue.
Provisions for losses are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the uncompleted performance obligation level for the amount of total estimated losses in the period that evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a performance obligation exceeds its estimated total revenue.
The net overbilling position for contracts in process consist of the following:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded revisions in our contract estimates for certain GCR and ODR projects.
Table of Contents
For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total net gross profit write-downs were $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For projects having a material gross profit impact of $0.25 million or more for the three months ended June 30, 2021, this resulted in material gross profit write downs on three GCR segment projects of $1.7 million and one ODR project for $0.3 million. Of the material GCR segment write downs, one project was within the Michigan region for a total of $1.0 million, one project was within the New England region for $0.3 million and one project was within the Southern California region for $0.4 million. Of the material ODR segment write downs, one project was within the Eastern Pennsylvania region for $0.3 million. We also recorded material gross profit write ups of $0.3 million on one GCR segment project in the Florida region and $0.3 million on one ODR segment project in the Michigan region. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded material revisions in our contract estimates on four GCR projects which resulted in gross profit write downs of $1.5 million. Two of these projects were within the Southern California region for a total of $0.7 million. No project revisions resulting in material gross profit write ups were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total net gross profit write-downs were $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively. For projects having a material gross profit impact of $0.25 million or more, we recorded gross profit write downs on eight GCR segment projects of $3.5 million and one ODR project for $0.3 million. Of the material GCR segment write downs, two projects were within the Michigan region for a total of $1.2 million, two projects were within the Eastern Pennsylvania region for $1.0 million, two projects were within the Southern California region for $0.8 million, one project was within the New England region for $0.3 million, and one project was within the Mid-Atlantic region for $0.3 million. We also materially wrote down one ODR segment project within the Eastern Pennsylvania region for $0.3 million. We also recorded material GCR segment gross profit write ups of $0.9 million on one GCR segment project in the Michigan region for $0.5 million and one project within the Ohio region for $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded material gross profit write downs on eight GCR projects and two gross profit write ups on GCR projects, for an aggregate revision of $5.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
Note 6 – Goodwill and Intangibles
Goodwill was $6.1 million at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The goodwill is associated with the Company's ODR segment. Intangible assets are comprised of the following:

(1) The Backlog-Construction intangible asset previously shown at December 31, 2020 has been fully amortized. Accordingly, its gross carrying amount of $4.8 million and corresponding accumulated amortization of $4.8 million have been removed from the table.
(2) The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization associated with our Favorable leasehold interests intangible asset was reduced by $0.3 million due to the lease termination of our Western Pennsylvania office associated with the intangible asset.
The definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the period the Company expects to receive the related economic benefit, which for customer relationships is based upon estimated future net cash inflows. The Company has previously determined that its trade name has an indefinite useful life. The Limbach trade name has been in existence since the Company’s founding in 1901 and therefore is an established brand within the industry.
Total amortization expense for these amortizable intangible assets was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
The Company did not recognize any impairment charges on its goodwill or intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Table of Contents
The Company refinanced its 2019 Refinancing Term Loan and 2019 Refinancing Revolving Credit Facility on February 24, 2021, described below and therefore had no amounts outstanding under these agreements at June 30, 2021. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on the early debt extinguishment related to the refinancing of $2.0 million on the refinancing date. This loss consisted of the write-off of $2.6 million of debt issuance and debt discount costs, the reversal of the $2.0 million CB warrants liability due to the warrants being cancelled on the refinancing date and the prepayment penalty and other extinguishment costs of $1.4 million.
2019 Refinancing Agreement
On April 12, 2019 (the “Refinancing Closing Date”), Limbach Facility Services LLC (“LFS”) entered into a financing agreement (the “2019 Refinancing Agreement”) with the lenders thereto and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as collateral agent and administrative agent and CB Agent Services LLC, as origination agent (“CB”). The 2019 Refinancing Agreement consisted of (i) a $40.0 million term loan (the “2019 Refinancing Term Loan”) and (ii) a new $25.0 million multi-draw delayed draw term loan (the “2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan” and, collectively with the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan, the “2019 Term Loans”). Proceeds from the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan were used to repay the then existing Credit Agreement, to pay related fees and expenses thereof and to fund working capital of the 2019 Refinancing Borrowers (defined below). Management intended for proceeds of the 2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan to be used to fund permitted acquisitions under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement and related fees and expenses in connection therewith.
LFS and each of its subsidiaries were borrowers (the “2019 Refinancing Borrowers”) under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement. In addition, the 2019 Refinancing Agreement was guaranteed by the Company and LHLLC (each, a “2019 Refinancing Guarantor”, and together with the 2019 Refinancing Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”).
The 2019 Refinancing Agreement was secured by a first-priority lien on the real property of the Loan Parties and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the Loan Parties, behind the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement (as defined below). The respective lien priorities of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement and the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement were governed by an intercreditor agreement.
2019 Refinancing Agreement - Interest Rates and Fees
The interest rate on borrowings under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement was, at the 2019 Refinancing Borrowers’ option, either LIBOR (with a 2.00% floor) plus 11.00% or a base rate (with a 3.00% minimum) plus 10.00%. At February 24, 2021 (the 2021 refinancing date) and June 30, 2020, the interest rate in effect on the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan was 13.00%.
2019 Refinancing Agreement - Other Terms and Conditions
The 2019 Refinancing Agreement was set to mature on April 12, 2022, subject to certain adjustment. Required amortization was $1.0 million per quarter and commenced with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020. There was an unused line fee of 2.0% per annum on the undrawn portion of the 2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan, and there was a make-whole premium on prepayments made prior to the 19-month anniversary of the Refinancing Closing Date. This make-whole provision guaranteed that the Company would pay no less than 18 months’ applicable interest to the lenders under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement.
The 2019 Refinancing Agreement contained representations and warranties, and covenants which were customary for debt facilities of this type. Unless the Required Lenders (as defined in the 2019 Refinancing Agreement) otherwise consented in writing, the covenants limited the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make distributions to the Company’s stockholders, (iii) purchase or redeem the Company’s equity interests, (iv) make investments, (v) create liens on their assets, (vi) enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates, (vii) sell assets and (viii) merge or consolidate with, or dispose of substantially all of the Company’s assets to, other companies.
In addition, the 2019 Refinancing Agreement included customary events of default and other provisions that could require all amounts due thereunder to become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the option of the lenders, if the Company failed to comply with the terms of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement or if other customary events occur.
Table of Contents
Furthermore, the 2019 Refinancing Agreement also contained two financial maintenance covenants for the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan, including a requirement to have sufficient collateral coverage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Term Loans and as of the last day of each month for the total leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Total Leverage Ratio”) not to exceed an amount beginning at 4.25 to 1.00 through June 30, 2019, and stepping down to 2.00 to 1.00 effective July 1, 2021. From July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019, the Total Leverage Ratio may not exceed 4.00 to 1.00. In addition, the parties to the 2019 Refinancing Agreement entered into an amendment which, among other changes, revised the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio, starting at 3.30 to 1.00 on October 1, 2019 with a peak ratio of 4.25 during March 2020 along with varying monthly rates culminating in the lowest Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 on April 1, 2021 through the term of such agreement. The 2019 Refinancing Agreement contained a post-closing covenant requiring the remediation of the Company’s material weakness, as described in Item 9A of its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, no later than December 31, 2020 and provision for updates as to the progress of such remediation, provided that, if such remediation was not completed on or prior to December 31, 2019, (x) the Company would be required to pay the post-closing fee pursuant to the terms of the Origination Agent Fee Letter (as defined in the 2019 Refinancing Agreement) and (y) the applicable margin shall be increased by 1.00% per annum for the period from January 1, 2020 until the date at which the material weakness was no longer disclosed or required to be disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings or audited financial statements of the Company or related auditor’s reports.
In connection with the 2019 Refinancing Amendment Number One and Waiver, dated November 14, 2019, the parties amended certain provisions of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement, including, among other changes to: (i) require, commencing October 1, 2019, a 3.00% increase in the interest rate on borrowings under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement; (ii) require the approval of CB and, generally, the lenders representing at least 50.1% of the aggregate undrawn term loan commitment or unpaid principal amount of the 2019 Term Loans, prior to effecting any permitted acquisition; (iii) revise the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio, starting at 3.30 to 1.00 on October 1, 2019 with a peak ratio of 4.25 during March 2020 along with varying monthly rates culminating in the lowest Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 on April 1, 2021 and thereafter through the term of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement; and (iv) require the liquidity of the loan parties, which is generally calculated by adding (a) unrestricted cash on hand of the Loan Parties maintained in deposit accounts subject to control agreements granting control to the collateral agent for the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement, to (b) the difference between (1) the lesser of (x) $15 million, as adjusted from time to time, and (y) 75% of certain customer accounts resulting from the sale of goods or services in the ordinary course of business minus certain reserves established by the administrative agent and (2) the sum of (x) the outstanding principal balance of all revolving loans under the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement plus (y) the aggregate undrawn available amount of all letters of credit then outstanding plus the amount of any obligations that arise from any draw against any letter of credit that have not been reimbursed by the borrowers or funded with a revolving loan under the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement (the “Loan Parties Liquidity”), as of the last day of any fiscal month ending on or after November 30, 2019, of at least $10,000,000. As a condition to executing the 2019 Refinancing Amendment Number One and Waiver, the loan parties were required to pay a non-refundable waiver fee of $400,000 and a non-refundable amendment fee of $1,000,000 (the “PIK First Amendment Fee”, which shall be paid in kind by adding the PIK First Amendment Fee to the outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan as additional principal obligations thereunder on and as of the effective date 2019 Refinancing Amendment Number One and Waiver).
During December 2020, the Company was not in compliance with the collateral coverage debt covenant as defined by the 2019 Term Loan financing agreement. The Company was required to maintain at all times a Collateral Coverage Amount (as defined in the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan financing agreement) equal to or greater than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Term Loans. The Company calculated its Collateral Coverage amount at $37.9 million as of December 31, 2020, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans was $39.0 million as of that same date for an excess of debt over collateral of $1.1 million. On February 1, 2021, the Company, LFS and LHLLC entered into a Waiver - Collateral Coverage Amount (December 2020) ("December 2020 Waiver") with the lenders party thereto and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC as collateral agent and administrative agent. The December 2020 Waiver included a waiver of the Company's compliance with the Collateral Coverage Amount for the month ending December 31, 2020. The lender waived the event of default arising from this noncompliance as of December 31, 2020, while reserving its rights with respect to covenant compliance in future months.
The 2019 Refinancing Term Loan was paid in full on February 24, 2021 as part of the refinancing transaction.

2019 Refinancing Agreement - CB Warrants
In connection with the 2019 Refinancing Agreement, on the Refinancing Closing Date, the Company issued to CB and the other lenders under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement warrants (the “CB Warrants”) to purchase up to a maximum of 263,314 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.63 per share subject to certain adjustments, including for stock dividends, stock splits or reclassifications. The actual number of shares of common stock into which the CB Warrants were exercisable at any given time were equal to: (i) the product of (x) the number of shares equal to 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the Refinancing Closing Date on a fully diluted basis and (y) the percentage of the total 2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan made as of the exercise date, minus (ii) the number of shares previously issued under the CB Warrants. As of the Refinancing Closing Date through February 24, 2021, no amounts had been drawn on the 2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan, so no portion of the CB Warrants were exercisable. The CB Warrants were to be exercised for cash or on a “cashless basis,” subject to certain adjustments, at any time after the 2019 Refinancing Closing Date until the expiration of such warrant at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the earlier of (i) the five (5) year anniversary of the 2019 Refinancing Closing Date, or (ii) the liquidation of the Company.
Accounting for the 2019 Term Loans and CB Warrants
The CB Warrants represented a freestanding financial instrument that was classified as a liability because the CB Warrants met the definition of a derivative instrument that does not meet the equity scope exception (i.e., the CB Warrants were not indexed to the entity’s own equity). In addition, the material weakness penalty described above was evaluated as an embedded derivative liability and bifurcated from the 2019 Term Loans as it represented a non-credit related embedded feature that provides for net settlement. Both the CB Warrants liability and the embedded derivative liability were required to be initially and subsequently measured at fair value. The initial fair values of the CB Warrants liability and the embedded derivative liability approximated $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, on the Refinancing Closing Date. The Company estimated these fair values by using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach.
The CB Warrants liability was included in other long-term liabilities. The Company remeasured the fair value of the CB Warrants liability as of December 31, 2020 and February 24, 2021 prior to the refinancing date and recorded any adjustments as other income (expense). At both February 24, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the CB Warrants liability was $2.0 million. Due to the extinguishment of the CB Warrants on February 24, 2021, there was no liability associated with the CB Warrants recorded as of June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded other income of $0.1 million to reflect the change in the fair value of the CB Warrants liability. The Company did not record a change in fair value of the warrant liability during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the CB Warrants liability was extinguished as part of the debt refinancing on February 24, 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded other income of $0.1 million and other expense of $0.1 million to reflect the change in the CB Warrants liability.
The proceeds for the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan were first allocated to the CB Warrants liability and embedded derivative liability based on their respective fair values with a corresponding amount of $1.3 million recorded as a debt discount to the 2019 Term Loans. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $3.9 million of debt issuance costs, including $1.4 million related to the first amendment, for the 2019 Term Loans that have also been recorded as a debt discount. The combined debt discount from the CB Warrants liability, embedded derivative liability and the debt issuance costs were being amortized into interest expense over the term of the 2019 Term Loans using the effective interest method and were expensed on the refinancing date as a loss on early debt extinguishment. The Company recorded interest expense for the amortization of the CB Warrants liability and embedded derivative debt discounts of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company did not record interest expense for the amortization of the CB Warrants liability and embedded derivative liability debt discounts for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as these debt discounts were extinguished as part of the debt refinancing on February 24, 2021. The Company recorded interest expense for the amortization of the CB Warrants liability and embedded derivative debt discounts of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
In addition to the amortization of the debt discounts into interest expense, the Company recorded $0.1 million of interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company did not record any interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the debt issuance costs were extinguished as part of the debt refinancing on February 24, 2021.

2019 ABL Credit Agreement
On the Refinancing Closing Date, LFS also entered into a financing agreement with the lenders thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as collateral agent, administrative agent and origination agent (the “2019 ABL Credit Agreement” and, together with the 2019 Refinancing Agreement, the “Refinancing Agreements”). The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement consisted of a $15.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Credit Facility”). Proceeds of the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility were to be used for general corporate purposes. On the Refinancing Closing Date, the Company had nothing drawn on the ABL Credit Agreement and $14.0 million of available borrowing capacity thereunder (net of a $1.0 million reserve imposed by the lender).
The 2019 Refinancing Borrowers and 2019 Refinancing Guarantors under the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement were the same as under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement. The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement was secured by a second-priority lien on the real property of the Loan Parties (behind the 2019 Refinancing Agreement) and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the Loan Parties.
2019 ABL Credit Agreement - Interest Rates and Fees
The interest rate on borrowings under the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement was, at the 2019 Refinancing Borrowers’ option, either LIBOR (with a 2.0% floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.50% or a base rate (with a 3.0% minimum) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. At February 24, 2021 (the 2021 refinancing date) and June 30, 2020, the interest rate in effect on the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement was 5.25%.
2019 ABL Credit Agreement - Other Terms and Conditions
The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement was set to mature on April 12, 2022. There was also an unused line fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum on undrawn amounts.
The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement contained representations and warranties, and covenants which are customary for debt facilities of this type. Unless the Required Lenders otherwise consented in writing, the covenants limited the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, generally, to (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make distributions to the Company’s stockholders, (iii) purchase or redeem the Company’s equity interests, (iv) make investments, (v) create liens on their assets, (vi) enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates, (vii) sell assets other than in the ordinary course of business or another permitted disposition of assets and (viii) merge or consolidate with, or dispose of substantially all of the Company’s assets to, other companies.
The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement included customary events of default and other provisions that could require all amounts due thereunder to become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the option of the lenders, if the Company failed to comply with the terms of the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement or if other customary events occur.
The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement also contained a financial maintenance covenant for the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility, which is a requirement for the Total Leverage Ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries not to exceed an amount beginning at 4.00 to 1.00 through September 30, 2019, and stepping down to 1.75 to 1.00 effective July 1, 2021. In addition, the parties to the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement entered into an amendment which, among other changes revises the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio, starting at 3.30 to 1.00 on October 1, 2019 with a peak ratio of 4.25 during March 2020 along with varying monthly rates culminating in the lowest Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 on April 1, 2021 through the term of such agreement.
In connection with the 2019 ABL Credit Amendment Number One and Waiver, the parties amended certain provisions of the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement, including, among other changes to (i) require the approval of the origination agent and, generally, the lenders representing at least 50.1% of the aggregate undrawn revolving loan commitment or unpaid principal amount of the 2019 Term Loans, prior to effecting any permitted acquisition; (ii) revise the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio, starting at 3.30 to 1.00 on October 1, 2019 with a peak ratio of 4.25 during March 2020 along with varying monthly rates culminating in the lowest Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 on April 1, 2021 through the term of the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement; and (iii) require the Loan Parties Liquidity as of the last day of any fiscal month ending on or after November 30, 2019, of at least $10,000,000, as described above in the Amendment Number One to 2019 Refinancing Agreement and Waiver. As a condition to executing the 2019 ABL Credit Amendment Number One and Waiver, the loan parties were required to pay a non-refundable waiver fee of $7,500.
Table of Contents
As noted above in the section titled: 2019 Refinancing Agreement - Other Terms and Conditions, the Company was subject to cross-default under our 2019 Revolving Credit Facility as a result of our failure to satisfy the Collateral Coverage Amount as defined in the 2019 Term Loan financing agreement, which required the company to obtain a waiver. Accordingly, on February 1, 2021, the Company, LFS and LHLLC entered into a Waiver - Collateral Coverage Amount (December 2020) (“December 2020 Waiver”) with the lenders party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and administrative agent. The December 2020 Waiver included a waiver of the Company's compliance with the Collateral Coverage Amount for the month ending December 31, 2020. The lender has waived the event of default arising from this noncompliance as of December 31, 2020, while reserving its rights with respect to covenant compliance in future months.
At February 24, 2021 (the 2021 refinancing date) and December 31, 2020, the Company had irrevocable letters of credit in the amount of $3.4 million with its lender to secure obligations under its self-insurance program.
Accounting for the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement
The Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of debt issuance costs for the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement that had been recorded as a non-current deferred asset. The deferred asset was amortized into interest expense over the term of the 2019 Term ABL Credit Agreement using the effective interest method and then expensed on the February 24, 2021 refinancing date as a loss on early debt extinguishment. The Company recorded $0.1 million of interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company did not record any interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the debt issuance costs were extinguished as part of the debt refinancing on February 24, 2021. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $0.1 million of interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs.
Wintrust Term and Revolving Loans
On February 24, 2021, LFS, LHLLC and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of LFS from time to time included as parties to the agreement (the “Wintrust Guarantors”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the LFS, LHLLC, Wintrust Guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time, Wheaton Bank & Trust Company, N.A., a subsidiary of Wintrust Financial Corporation (collectively, “Wintrust”), as administrative agent and L/C issuer, Bank of the West as documentation agent, M&T Bank as syndication agent, and Wintrust as lead arranger and sole book runner.
In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, Lenders provide to LFS (i) a $30.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Wintrust Term Loan”); and (ii) a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Wintrust Revolving Loan” and, together with the Wintrust Term Loan, the “Wintrust Loans”). Proceeds of the Wintrust Loans were used to refinance certain existing indebtedness, finance working capital and other general corporate purposes and fund certain fees and expenses associated with the closing of the Wintrust Loans.
The Wintrust Revolving Loan bears interest, at the LFS’s option, at either LIBOR (with a 0.25% floor) plus 3.5% or a base rate (with a 3.0% floor) plus 0.50%, subject to a 50 basis point step-down based on the ratio between the senior debt of the Company and its subsidiaries to the EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) of the LFS and its subsidiaries for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters (the “Senior Leverage Ratio”). The Wintrust Term Loan bears interest, at LFS’s option, at either LIBOR (with a 0.25% floor) plus 4.0% or a base rate (with a 3.0% floor) plus 1.00%, subject to a 50 (for LIBOR) or 75 (for base rate) basis point step-down based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.
LFS is required to make principal payments on the Wintrust Term Loan in $0.5 million installments on the last business day of each month commencing on March 31, 2021 with a final payment of all principal and interest not sooner paid on the Wintrust Term Loan due and payable on February 24, 2026. The Wintrust Revolving Loan will mature and become due and payable by LFS on February 24, 2026.
The Wintrust Loans are secured by (i) a valid, perfected and enforceable lien of the administrative agent on the ownership interests held by each of LFS and Wintrust Guarantors in their respective subsidiaries; and (ii) a valid, perfected and enforceable lien of the administrative agent on each of LFS and Wintrust Guarantors’ personal property, fixtures and real estate, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. Additionally, the re-payment of the Wintrust Loans shall be jointly and severally guaranteed by each Wintrust Guarantor.
Table of Contents
The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants and events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, as more particularly described in the Credit Agreement. The Wintrust Loans also contain three financial maintenance covenants, including (i) a requirement to have as of the last day of each quarter for the senior leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries not to exceed an amount beginning at 2.25 to 1.00 through December 31, 2021, and stepping down to 2.00 to 1.00 at all times thereafter, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021, and (iii) no unfinanced capital expenditures, except for unfinanced capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business not exceeding in the aggregate $4.0 million during any fiscal year; and no default or event of default (as defined by the agreement) has occurred and is continuing, 50% of any portion of this annual limit, if not expended in the fiscal year for which it is permitted, may be carried over for expenditure in the next following fiscal year as stipulated by the agreement. LFS and its affiliates maintain various commercial and service relationships with certain members of the syndicate and their affiliates in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial maintenance covenants as required by the Wintrust Loans.
The following is a summary of the additional margin and commitment fees payable on the available Wintrust Term Loan and Wintrust Revolving Loan credit commitment:

See Note 17 - Management Incentive Plans for RSUs granted, vested, forfeited and remaining unvested.
Upon approval of the Company's stockholders on May 30, 2019, the Company adopted the Limbach Holdings, Inc. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“the ESPP”). On January 1, 2020, the ESPP went into effect. The ESPP enables eligible employees, as defined by the ESPP, the right to purchase the Company's common stock through payroll deductions during consecutive subscription periods at a purchase price of not less than 85% of the fair market value of a common share at the end of each offering period. Annual purchases by participants are limited to the number of whole shares that can be purchased by an amount equal to ten percent of the participant's compensation or $5,000, whichever is less. Each offering period of the ESPP lasts six months, commencing on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The amounts collected from participants during a subscription period are used on the exercise date to purchase full shares of common stock. Participants may withdraw from an offering before the exercise date and obtain a refund of amounts withheld through payroll deductions. Compensation cost, representing the 15% discount applied to the fair market value of common stock, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the six-month vesting period during which employees perform related services. Under the ESPP, 500,000 shares are authorized to be issued. In July 2020 and January 2021, the Company issued 30,825 and 8,928 shares of its common stock, respectively, to participants in the ESPP who contributed to the plan through the June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 offering periods, respectively.
On February 10, 2021 the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (“Underwriting Agreement”) with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (“Underwriter”) relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”). On February 12, 2021 the Company sold to the Underwriter 1,783,500 shares of its Common Stock. The Underwriting Agreement provided for purchase and sale of the Shares by the company to the Underwriter at a price of $11.28 per share. The price to the public in the Offering was $12.00 per share. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 267,525 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any, on the same terms and conditions. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions were approximately $19.8 million. On February 18, 2021, the Company received approximately $3.0 million of net proceeds for the sale of 267,525 shares in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option.
Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1 — inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;
•Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities 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 assets or liabilities; and
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Table of Contents
The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, which approximate fair value primarily due to their short-term maturities and low risk of counterparty default. We also believe that the carrying value of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement term loan and 2021 Wintrust Term Loan approximates its fair values due to the variable rate on such debt. As of February 24, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company determined that the fair value of its 2019 Revolving Agreement term loan was $39.0 million. As of June 30, 2021, the Company determined that the fair value of its 2021 Wintrust Term Loan was $28.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings on the Company's 2019 ABL Credit Agreement revolver at February 24, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Such fair values were determined using discounted estimated future cash flows using level 3 inputs.

Note 11 – Income Taxes
The Company is taxed as a C corporation.
For interim periods, the provision for income taxes (including federal, state, local and foreign taxes) is calculated based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for certain discrete items for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the Company's estimate are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.
Table of Contents
Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.
The Company had an effective tax rate of 26.5% and an effective tax benefit rate of 33.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had an income tax rate of 27.4% and 14.1%, respectively.
No valuation allowance was required as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
The Company had previously recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) related to tax positions taken on its various income tax returns in open tax periods. If recognized, a portion of unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate that is reported in future periods. The Company filed to change an improper tax method of accounting in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the UTB that affords the Company IRS audit protection in past periods. Therefore, the total unrecognized tax benefits were reduced in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Note 12 – Operating Segments
The Company determined its operating segments on the same basis that it assesses performance and makes operating decisions. The Company manages and measures the performance of its business in two distinct operating segments. As of January 1, 2021, the Company renamed its existing two reportable segments to reflect its two distinct approaches to our customer base and to better align with our owner direct strategy. The previously named Construction Segment is now known as General Contractor Relationships (“GCR”); the previously named Service Segment is now known as Owner Direct Relationships (“ODR”). These segments are reflective of how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company's CODM is comprised of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM evaluates performance based on income from operations of the respective segments after the allocation of corporate office operating expenses. In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – Segment Reporting, the Company has elected to aggregate all of the construction activity into one GCR reportable segment and all of the service branches into one ODR reportable segment. All transactions between segments are eliminated in consolidation. Our corporate department provides general and administrative support services to our two operating segments. The CODM allocates costs between segments for selling, general and administrative and depreciation expense.
All of the Company’s identifiable assets are located in the United States, which is where the Company is domiciled. Interest expense is not allocated to segments because of the corporate management of debt service including interest.

Note 13 - Leases
The Company leases real estate, trucks and other equipment. The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is performed at the inception of the arrangement. Classification and initial measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability are determined at the lease commencement date. The Company elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption; therefore, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's arrangements include certain non-lease components such as common area and other maintenance for leased real estate, as well as mileage, fuel and maintenance costs related to leased vehicles. For all leased asset classes, the Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components and will account for each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with the lease as a single lease component. The Company does not guarantee any residual value in its lease agreements, and there are no material restrictions or covenants imposed by lease arrangements. Real estate leases typically include one or more options to extend the lease. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options, and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company includes the renewal period in its lease term. For our leased vehicles, the Company uses the interest rate implicit in its leases with the lessor to discount lease payments at the lease commencement date. When the implicit rate is not readily available, as is the case with our real estate leases, the Company uses quoted borrowing rates on our secured debt.

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies
Legal. The Company is continually engaged in administrative proceedings, arbitrations, and litigation with owners, general contractors, suppliers, and other unrelated parties, all arising in the ordinary courses of business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the results of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
On November 13, 2019, claimant, Lanzo Trenchless Technologies, Inc. - North, filed a Demand for Arbitration in the state of Michigan against the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Limbach Company LLC. The demand seeks damages in excess of $0.4 million based upon the allegation that Limbach breached a construction contract by improperly terminating Lanzo’s subcontract, and for withholding payment from Lanzo based upon deficient performance. Limbach has asserted a counterclaim seeking damages caused by Lanzo’s deficient performance. Lanzo has recently abandoned its claims and the parties are attempting to negotiate a consent judgement in Limbach's favor that will result in the matter being concluded.
On January 23, 2020, plaintiff, Bernards Bros. Inc., filed a complaint against Limbach Holdings, Inc. in Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against Limbach Holdings, Inc. The complaint alleges that our Southern California operations refused to honor a proposal made to Bernards to act as a subcontractor on a construction project, and that, as a result of the wrongful failure to honor the proposal, Bernards suffered damages in excess of $3.0 million, including alleged increased costs for hiring a different subcontractor to perform the work. The Company is vigorously defending the suit. A non-binding mediation is scheduled for August 19, 2021 and trial is currently expected to take place in February 2022.
On April 17, 2020, plaintiff, LA Excavating, Inc., filed a complaint against our wholly-owned subsidiary, Limbach Company LP, and several other parties, in Superior Court of the State of California, for the County of Los Angeles. The complaint seeks damages of approximately $1.0 million for alleged failure to pay contract balances and extra work ordered by Limbach, as well as seeks to enforce payment obligations under payment and stop notice release bonds. The Company disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend the suit, which is currently set for trial in November of 2021.
In July of 2020, plaintiff, Kimball Construction Co., Inc., filed a complaint against our wholly-owned subsidiary, Limbach Company LLC in circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. The complaint seeks damages of approximately $1.7 million for alleged failure to pay contract balances and extra work, as well as to enforce payment obligations under a payment bond issued by Limbach's surety provider. The Company and Kimball have reached a cooperative resolution of these claims, which resulted in a Stipulation of Dismissal of the suit on or about June 21, 2021.
Table of Contents
Surety. The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies, and provide to our customers, payment and performance bonds (“Surety Bonds”) as a condition to the award of such contracts. The Surety Bonds secure our payment and performance obligations under such contracts, and we have agreed to indemnify the surety companies for amounts, if any, paid by them in respect of Surety Bonds issued on our behalf. In addition, at the request of labor unions representing certain of our employees, Surety Bonds are sometimes provided to secure obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for such employees. Public sector contracts require Surety Bonds more frequently than private sector contracts, and accordingly, our bonding requirements typically increase as the amount of public sector work increases. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $265.3 million in surety bonds outstanding. The Surety Bonds are issued by surety companies in return for premiums, which vary depending on the size and type of bond.
Collective Bargaining Agreements. Many of the Company’s craft labor employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The agreements require the Company to pay specified wages, provide certain benefits and contribute certain amounts to multi-employer pension plans. If the Company withdraws from any of the multi-employer pension plans or if the plans were to otherwise become underfunded, the Company could incur additional liabilities related to these plans. Although the Company has been informed that some of the multi-employer pension plans to which it contributes have been classified as “critical” status, the Company is not currently aware of any significant liabilities related to this issue.
Note 16 – Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and exclude unexercised contract options. The Company’s remaining performance obligations includes projects that have a written award, a letter of intent, a notice to proceed or an agreed upon work order to perform work on mutually accepted terms and conditions.
As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations of the Company's GCR and ODR segment contracts were $378.9 million and $44.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations of the Company's GCR and ODR segment contracts were $393.5 million and $35.7 million, respectively.
We estimate that 44% and 62% of our GCR and ODR segment remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2021, respectively, will be recognized as revenue during 2021, with the substantial majority of remaining performance obligations to be recognized within 24 months, although the timing of the Company's performance is not always under its control.
Additionally, the difference between remaining performance obligations and backlog is due to the exclusion of a portion of the Company’s ODR agreements under certain contract types from the Company’s remaining performance obligations as these contracts can be canceled for convenience at any time by the Company or the customer without considerable cost incurred by the customer. Additional information related to backlog is provided in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Note 17 – Management Incentive Plans
The Company initially adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan on July 20, 2016 for the purpose of: (a) encouraging the profitability and growth of the Company through short-term and long-term incentives that are consistent with the Company’s objectives; (b) giving participants an incentive for excellence in individual performance; (c) promoting teamwork among participants; and (d) giving the Company a significant advantage in attracting and retaining key employees, directors and consultants. To accomplish such purposes, the Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance-based awards (including performance-based restricted shares and restricted stock units), other share based awards, other cash-based awards or any combination of the foregoing.
Following the further amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Incentive Plan upon approval of the Company's stockholders on June 16, 2021, the Company has reserved a total of 2,250,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The number of shares issued or reserved pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be adjusted by the plan administrator, as they deem appropriate and equitable, as a result of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar changes in the Company’s common stock. In connection with the grant of an award, the plan administrator may provide for the treatment of such award in the event of a change in control. All awards are made in the form of shares only.
Service-Based Awards
During the first six months of 2021, the Company granted 120,899 service-based RSUs to its executives, certain employees, and non-employee directors under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
Table of Contents
The following table summarizes our service-based RSU activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

Performance-Based Awards
During the first six months of 2021, the Company granted 185,367 performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”) to its executives and certain employees under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Company will recognize stock-based compensation expense for these awards over the vesting period based on the projected probability of achievement of certain performance conditions as of the end of each reporting period during the performance period and may periodically adjust the recognition of such expense, as necessary, in response to any changes in the Company’s forecasts with respect to the performance conditions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PRSUs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PRSUs.

Market-Based Awards
On September 4, 2020, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company approved amendments to certain restricted stock units initially awarded on August 30, 2017 by the Company to certain employees. Pursuant to the amendment adopted on September 4, 2020, the measurement period was extended to July 16, 2022. In addition to the market performance-based vesting condition, the vesting of such restricted stock unit is subject to continued employment from August 1, 2017 through the later of July 31, 2019 or the date on which the Committee certifies the achievement of the performance goal. The Company has accounted for this amendment as a Type I modification and will recognize approximately $0.2 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense over 1.26 years based on an updated Monte Carlo simulation model.

The aggregate fair value as of the vest date of RSUs that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs which are probable of vesting was $3.6 million at June 30, 2021. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are an integrated building systems solutions firm whose expertise is in the design, modular prefabrication, installation, management and maintenance of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”), mechanical, electrical, plumbing and control systems. Our market sectors primarily include the following: healthcare, life sciences, data centers, industrial and light manufacturing, entertainment, education and government. Our customers are primarily located throughout Florida, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Michigan. As of January 1, 2021, the Company renamed its existing two reportable segments to reflect our distinct approaches to our customer base and to better align with our owner direct strategy. The previously named Construction Segment is now known as General Contractor Relationships (“GCR”); the previously named Service Segment is now known as Owner Direct Relationships (“ODR”). The Company operates in two segments that are based on the relationship with its customer, (i) GCR, in which the Company generally manages new construction or renovation projects that involve primarily HVAC, plumbing or electrical services and are awarded to the Company by general contractors or construction managers and (ii) ODR, in which the Company provides maintenance or service primarily on HVAC, plumbing or electrical systems, building controls and specialty contracting projects direct to, or assigned by, building owners or property managers. This work is primarily performed under fixed price, modified fixed price, and time and material contracts over periods of typically less than two years.
Key Components of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue principally from fixed-price construction contracts to deliver HVAC, plumbing, and electrical construction services to our customers. The duration of our contracts generally ranges from six months to two years. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized on the cost-to-cost method, measured by the relationship of total cost incurred to total estimated contract costs. Revenue from time and materials contracts is recognized as services are performed. We believe that our extensive experience in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical projects, and our internal cost review procedures during the bidding process, enable us to reasonably estimate costs and mitigate the risk of cost overruns on fixed price contracts.
We generally invoice customers on a monthly basis, based on a schedule of values that breaks down the contract amount into discrete billing items. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as a contract asset until billable under the contract terms. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as a contract liability until the related revenue is recognizable.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of the labor, equipment, material, subcontract, and other job costs in connection with fulfilling the terms of our contracts. Labor costs consist of wages plus taxes, fringe benefits, and insurance. Equipment costs consist of the ownership and operating costs of company-owned assets, in addition to outside-rented equipment. If applicable, job costs include estimated contract losses to be incurred in future periods. Due to the varied nature of our services, and the risks associated therewith, contract costs as a percentage of contract revenue have historically fluctuated and we expect this fluctuation to continue in future periods.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative consist primarily of personnel costs for our administrative, estimating, human resources, safety, information technology, legal, finance and accounting employees and executives. Also included are non-personnel costs, such as travel-related expenses, legal and other professional fees and other corporate expenses to support the growth of our business and to meet the compliance requirements associated with operating as a public company. Those costs include accounting, human resources, information technology, legal personnel, additional consulting, legal and audit fees, insurance costs, board of directors’ compensation and the costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Table of Contents
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization expense represents periodic non-cash charges that consist of amortization of various intangible assets, primarily including leasehold interests and certain customer relationships in the ODR segment.
Other Income/Expense
Other income/expense, net consists primarily of interest expense incurred in connection with our debt, net of interest income, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain and loss on the sale of property and equipment and changes in fair value of warrant liability. Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
We are taxed as a C corporation and our financial results include the effects of federal income taxes which are paid at the parent level.
For interim periods, the provision for income taxes (including federal, state and local taxes) is calculated based on the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities and income or expense are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective tax bases, using enacted tax rates expected to be applicable in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes.
Operating Segments
As of January 1, 2021, the Company renamed its existing two reportable segments to reflect our two distinct approaches to our customer base and to better align with our owner direct strategy. The previously named Construction Segment is now known as General Contractor Relationships (“GCR”); the previously named Service Segment is now known as Owner Direct Relationships (“ODR”). We manage and measure the performance of our business in these two operating segments. These segments are reflective of how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) reviews its operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Our CODM is comprised of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM evaluates performance based on income from operations of the respective branches after the allocation of corporate office operating expenses. In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – Segment Reporting, the Company has elected to aggregate all of the GCR work performed at branches into one GCR reportable segment and all of the ODR work performed at branches into one ODR reportable segment. All transactions between segments are eliminated in consolidation. Our corporate department provides general and administrative support services to our two operating segments. We allocate costs between segments for selling, general and administrative and depreciation expense. Interest expense is not allocated to segments because of the corporate management of debt service. See Note 12 – Operating Segments in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $14.2 million compared to the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020. GCR revenue decreased by $18.4 million, or 17.4%, while ODR revenue increased by $4.2 million, or 14.4%. GCR segment revenue of $87.6 million decreased due to a planned decrease in the Southern California operating region and other decreases in the Florida, Eastern Pennsylvania and Ohio operating regions. These decreases were partially offset by revenue increases in the New England and Michigan operating regions largely due to the start of new projects and the continuation of work on existing projects. Ohio, Michigan, and Eastern Pennsylvania regions' ODR revenue increased quarter over quarter offset by declines in ODR revenue in Florida and Mid-Atlantic. Maintenance contract revenue, a component of ODR revenue, increased by $0.3 million compared to June 30, 2020.

Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $1.6 million compared to our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2020. GCR gross profit decreased $3.3 million, or 27.2%, largely due to lower revenue at reduced margins. ODR gross profit increased $1.7 million, or 20.7%, due to an increase in revenue at higher margins. The total gross profit percentage increased from 15.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 15.4% for the same period ended in 2021, mainly driven by the mix of higher margin ODR segment work.
We recorded revisions in our contract estimates for certain GCR and ODR projects. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total net gross profit write-downs were $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For projects having a material gross profit impact of $0.25 million or more for the three months ended June 30, 2021, this resulted in material gross profit write downs on three GCR segment projects of $1.7 million and one ODR project for $0.3 million. Of the material GCR segment write downs, one project was within the Michigan region for a total of $1.0 million, one project was within the New England region for $0.3 million and one project was within the Southern California region for $0.4 million. Of the material ODR segment write downs, one project was within the Eastern Pennsylvania region for $0.3 million. We also recorded material gross profit write ups of $0.3 million on one GCR segment project in the Florida region and $0.3 million on one ODR segment project in the Michigan region. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded material revisions in our contract estimates on four GCR projects which resulted in gross profit write downs of $1.5 million. Two of these projects were within the Southern California region for a total of $0.7 million. No project revisions resulting in material gross profit write ups were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Our total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) increased by approximately $3.5 million to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Total SG&A increased due to $0.6 million in additional payroll expenses, a $0.5 million increase in professional fees, a $0.4 million increase in rent, a $0.5 million increase in travel and entertainment, and a $0.5 million increase in stock based compensation expense. Our payroll and travel and entertainment expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021 were higher than the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to pandemic-driven operational reductions in 2020 and our continued investment in ODR expansion in 2021. Additionally, total SG&A as a percentage of revenues were 14.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 10.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $39.6 million compared to the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020. GCR revenue decreased by $43.1 million, or 20.0%, while ODR revenue increased by $3.5 million, or 5.9%. GCR segment revenue of $172.4 million decreased due to a planned decrease in the Southern California and Mid-Atlantic operating regions and other decreases in the Florida, Eastern Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania operating regions. These decreases were partially offset by revenue increases in the Michigan and New England operating regions largely due to the start of new projects and the continuation of work on existing projects. Ohio, Eastern Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New England regions' ODR revenue increased nearly offset by declines in ODR revenue in Florida and Mid-Atlantic. Maintenance contract revenue, a component of ODR revenue, increased by $0.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $2.6 million compared to our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2020. GCR gross profit decreased $4.9 million, or 21.2%, largely due to lower revenue at slightly lower margins. ODR gross profit increased $2.3 million, or 14.8%, due to an increase in revenue at higher margins. The total gross profit percentage increased from 14.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 15.3% for the same period ended in 2021, mainly driven by the mix of higher margin ODR segment work.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total net gross profit write-downs were $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively. For projects having a material gross profit impact of $0.25 million or more, we recorded gross profit write downs on eight GCR segment projects of $3.5 million and one ODR project for $0.3 million. Of the material GCR segment write downs, two projects were within the Michigan region for a total of $1.2 million, two projects were within the Eastern Pennsylvania region for $1.0 million, two projects were within the Southern California region for $0.8 million, one project was within the New England region for $0.3 million, and one project was within the Mid-Atlantic region for $0.3 million. We also materially wrote down one ODR segment project within the Eastern Pennsylvania region for $0.3 million. We also recorded material GCR segment gross profit write ups of $0.9 million on one GCR segment project in the Michigan region for $0.5 million and one project within the Ohio region for $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded material gross profit write downs on eight GCR projects and two gross profit write ups on GCR projects, for an aggregate revision of $5.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Other income (expenses) consist of interest expense of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $4.3 million of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The reduction in interest expense year over year is due to the refinancing of the higher interest rate debt with a lower interest rate debt instrument in late February 2021. The Company recognized a loss on early debt extinguishment of $2.0 million in connection with its refinancing of the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan and 2019 Revolving Credit Facility with the Wintrust Term Loan and Wintrust Revolving Loan.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded a $0.8 million income tax benefit and a $0.5 million income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company had a 33.2% effective tax benefit rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and a 14.1% effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
GCR and ODR Backlog Information
We refer to our estimated revenue on uncompleted contracts, including the amount of revenue on contracts for which work has not begun, less the revenue we have recognized under such contracts, as “backlog.” Backlog includes unexercised contract options. Our backlog includes projects that have a written award, a letter of intent, a notice to proceed or an agreed upon work order to perform work on mutually accepted terms and conditions. Additionally, the difference between our backlog and remaining performance obligations is due to the portion of unexercised contract options that are excluded, under certain contract types, from our remaining performance obligations as these contracts can be canceled for convenience at any time by us or the customer without considerable cost incurred by the customer. Additional information related to our remaining performance obligations is provided in Note 16 — Remaining Performance Obligations in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Given the multi-year duration of many of our contracts, revenue from backlog is expected to be earned over a period that will extend beyond one year. Our GCR backlog as of June 30, 2021 was $378.9 million compared to $393.5 million at December 31, 2020. In addition, ODR backlog as of June 30, 2021 was $60.6 million compared to $50.9 million at December 31, 2020. Of the total backlog at June 30, 2021, we expect to recognize approximately $211.0 million by the end of 2021.
Seasonality, Cyclicality and Quarterly Trends
Severe weather can impact our operations. In the northern climates where we operate, and to a lesser extent the southern climates as well, severe winters can slow our productivity on construction projects, which shifts revenue and gross profit recognition to a later period. Our maintenance operations may also be impacted by mild or severe weather. Mild weather tends to reduce demand for our maintenance services, whereas severe weather may increase the demand for our maintenance and spot services. Our operations also experience mild cyclicality, as building owners typically work through maintenance and capital projects at an increased level during the third and fourth calendar quarters of each year.
Effect of Inflation and Tariffs
The prices of products such as steel, pipe, copper and equipment from manufacturers are subject to fluctuation and increases. It is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation, tariffs and price escalation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required. However, these effects are, at times, material to our results of operations and financial condition. During the first half of 2021, we have experienced higher cost of materials on specific projects and delays in our supply chain for equipment and service vehicles from the manufacturers, and we expect these higher costs and delays in our supply chain to persist through 2021. When appropriate, we include cost escalation factors into our bids and proposals as well as limit the acceptance time of our bid. In addition, we are often able to mitigate the impact of future price increases by entering into fixed price purchase orders for materials and equipment and subcontracts on our projects. Notwithstanding these efforts, if we experience significant disruptions to our supply chain, we may need to delay certain projects that would otherwise be accretive to our business and this may also impact the conversion rate of our current backlog into revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Our liquidity needs relate primarily to the provision of working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) to support operations, funding of capital expenditures, and investment in strategic opportunities. Historically, liquidity has been provided by operating activities and borrowings from commercial banks and institutional lenders.

Our cash flows are primarily impacted from period to period by fluctuations in working capital. Factors such as our contract mix, commercial terms, days sales outstanding (“DSO”) and delays in the start of projects may impact our working capital. In line with industry practice, we accumulate costs during a given month then bill those costs in the current month for many of our contracts. While labor costs associated with these contracts are paid weekly and salary costs associated with the contracts are paid bi-weekly, certain subcontractor costs are generally not paid until we receive payment from our customers (contractual “pay-if-paid” terms). We have not historically experienced a large volume of write-offs related to our receivables and contract assets. We regularly assess our receivables for collectability and provide allowances for doubtful accounts where appropriate. We believe that our reserves for doubtful accounts are appropriate as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, but adverse changes in the economic environment may impact certain of our customers’ ability to access capital and compensate us for our services, as well as impact project activity for the foreseeable future.
The Company's existing current backlog is projected to provide substantial coverage of forecasted GCR revenue for one year from the date of the financial statement issuance. Our current cash balance, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations along with borrowings available under our Wintrust Loans, are expected to be sufficient to finance our short- and long-term capital requirements (or meet working capital requirements) for the next twelve months. In addition to the future operating cash flows of the Company, along with its existing borrowing availability and access to financial markets, the Company believes it will be able to meet any working capital and future operating requirements, and capital investment forecast opportunities for the next twelve months.
The following table represents our summarized working capital information:
| (in thousands, except ratios) | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current assets | $ | 199,726 | $ | 199,417 |

| Net working capital | $ | 61,802 | $ | 49,123 |
| Current ratio* | 1.45 | 1.33 |
*Current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
As discussed above and in Note 7 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial maintenance covenants as required by the Wintrust Loans.

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities were $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities were negatively impacted by an $8.9 million increase in accounts receivable, a $7.5 million decrease in contract liabilities, a $5.5 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and a $3.7 million increase in contract assets.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the key components included cash inflows of $3.6 million related to our accounts receivable, $4.9 million related to our contract assets, $16.3 million for our contract liabilities shifting from an underbilled to an overbilled position consistent with our renewed focus on project cash flows and $9.4 million related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities. These cash inflows were offset by outflows of $19.5 million related to our accounts payable, including retainage.
The decrease in operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 were mostly attributable to the reduction of our net overbilling position, which resulted in a $32.3 million cash outflow period-over-period, and a $12.5 million period-over-period cash outflow related to the change in accounts receivable. The decrease in our overbilled position was due to the reduction in GCR revenue and the timing of contract billings and the recognition of contract revenue. In addition, the reduction in accounts receivable was due to the timing of billings and collections.
Non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization were $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities were $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, $0.5 million was used to purchase property and equipment, offset by $0.4 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, $0.7 million was used to purchase property and equipment, offset by $0.1 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
The majority of our cash used for investing activities in both periods was for capital additions pertaining to tools and equipment, computer software and hardware purchases, office furniture and office related leasehold improvements.
Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received proceeds from the following: $22.8 million, net of fees and expenses, in conjunction with our common stock offering in February 2021, $2.0 million from the exercise of warrants and $30.0 million in connection with the refinancing of the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan with the Wintrust Loans. These proceeds were offset by the $39.0 million payment in full of the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan and associated $1.4 million prepayment penalty and other extinguishment costs, $2.0 million of scheduled principal payments on the Wintrust Term Loan, $1.3 million for payments on finance leases, $0.4 million in taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards and $0.6 million for payments related to debt issuance costs related to the Wintrust Term Loan and Wintrust Revolving Loan.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we borrowed and repaid $7.3 million on the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility and made capital lease payments of $1.3 million.
Debt and Other Obligations
The Company refinanced its 2019 Refinancing and ABL Credit Agreements on February 24, 2021, described below and therefore had no amounts outstanding under these agreements at June 30, 2021. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on the early debt extinguishment of $2.0 million. This loss consisted of $2.6 million of debt issuance and debt discount costs, reversed $2.0 million of the CB warrant liability due to the warrants being cancelled on the refinancing date and paid a prepayment penalty of $1.4 million.

2019 Refinancing Agreement
On April 12, 2019 (the “Refinancing Closing Date”), Limbach Facility Services LLC (“LFS”) entered into a financing agreement (the “2019 Refinancing Agreement”) with the lenders thereto and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as collateral agent and administrative agent and CB Agent Services LLC, as origination agent (“CB”). The 2019 Refinancing Agreement consisted of (i) a $40.0 million term loan (the “2019 Refinancing Term Loan”) and (ii) a new $25.0 million multi-draw delayed draw term loan (the “2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan” and, collectively with the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan, the “2019 Term Loans”). Proceeds from the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan were used to repay the then existing Credit Agreement, to pay related fees and expenses thereof and to fund working capital of the 2019 Refinancing Borrowers (defined below). Management intended for proceeds of the 2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan to be used to fund permitted acquisitions under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement and related fees and expenses in connection therewith.
LFS and each of its subsidiaries were borrowers (the “2019 Refinancing Borrowers”) under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement. In addition, the 2019 Refinancing Agreement was guaranteed by the Company and LHLLC (each, a “2019 Refinancing Guarantor”, and together with the 2019 Refinancing Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”).
The 2019 Refinancing Agreement was secured by a first-priority lien on the real property of the Loan Parties and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the Loan Parties, behind the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement (as defined below). The respective lien priorities of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement and the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement were governed by an intercreditor agreement.
2019 Refinancing Agreement - Interest Rates and Fees
The interest rate on borrowings under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement was, at the 2019 Refinancing Borrowers’ option, either LIBOR (with a 2.00% floor) plus 11.00% or a base rate (with a 3.00% minimum) plus 10.00%. At February 24, 2021 (the 2021 refinancing date) and June 30, 2020, the interest rate in effect on the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan was 13.00%.
2019 Refinancing Agreement - Other Terms and Conditions
The 2019 Refinancing Agreement was set to mature on April 12, 2022, subject to certain adjustment. Required amortization was $1.0 million per quarter and commenced with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020. There was an unused line fee of 2.0% per annum on the undrawn portion of the 2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan, and there was a make-whole premium on prepayments made prior to the 19-month anniversary of the Refinancing Closing Date. This make-whole provision guaranteed that the Company would pay no less than 18 months’ applicable interest to the lenders under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement.
The 2019 Refinancing Agreement contained representations and warranties, and covenants which were customary for debt facilities of this type. Unless the Required Lenders (as defined in the 2019 Refinancing Agreement) otherwise consented in writing, the covenants limited the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make distributions to the Company’s stockholders, (iii) purchase or redeem the Company’s equity interests, (iv) make investments, (v) create liens on their assets, (vi) enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates, (vii) sell assets and (viii) merge or consolidate with, or dispose of substantially all of the Company’s assets to, other companies.
In addition, the 2019 Refinancing Agreement included customary events of default and other provisions that could require all amounts due thereunder to become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the option of the lenders, if the Company failed to comply with the terms of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement or if other customary events occur.
Table of Contents
Furthermore, the 2019 Refinancing Agreement also contained two financial maintenance covenants for the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan, including a requirement to have sufficient collateral coverage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Term Loans and as of the last day of each month for the total leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Total Leverage Ratio”) not to exceed an amount beginning at 4.25 to 1.00 through June 30, 2019, and stepping down to 2.00 to 1.00 effective July 1, 2021. From July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019, the Total Leverage Ratio may not exceed 4.00 to 1.00. In addition, the parties to the 2019 Refinancing Agreement entered into an amendment which, among other changes, revised the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio, starting at 3.30 to 1.00 on October 1, 2019 with a peak ratio of 4.25 during March 2020 along with varying monthly rates culminating in the lowest Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 on April 1, 2021 through the term of such agreement. The 2019 Refinancing Agreement contained a post-closing covenant requiring the remediation of the Company’s material weakness, as described in Item 9A of its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, no later than December 31, 2020 and provision for updates as to the progress of such remediation, provided that, if such remediation was not completed on or prior to December 31, 2019, (x) the Company would be required to pay the post-closing fee pursuant to the terms of the Origination Agent Fee Letter (as defined in the 2019 Refinancing Agreement) and (y) the applicable margin shall be increased by 1.00% per annum for the period from January 1, 2020 until the date at which the material weakness was no longer disclosed or required to be disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings or audited financial statements of the Company or related auditor’s reports.
In connection with the 2019 Refinancing Amendment Number One and Waiver, dated November 14, 2019, the parties amended certain provisions of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement, including, among other changes to: (i) require, commencing October 1, 2019, a 3.00% increase in the interest rate on borrowings under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement; (ii) require the approval of CB and, generally, the lenders representing at least 50.1% of the aggregate undrawn term loan commitment or unpaid principal amount of the 2019 Term Loans, prior to effecting any permitted acquisition; (iii) revise the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio, starting at 3.30 to 1.00 on October 1, 2019 with a peak ratio of 4.25 during March 2020 along with varying monthly rates culminating in the lowest Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 on April 1, 2021 and thereafter through the term of the 2019 Refinancing Agreement; and (iv) require the liquidity of the loan parties, which is generally calculated by adding (a) unrestricted cash on hand of the Loan Parties maintained in deposit accounts subject to control agreements granting control to the collateral agent for the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement, to (b) the difference between (1) the lesser of (x) $15 million, as adjusted from time to time, and (y) 75% of certain customer accounts resulting from the sale of goods or services in the ordinary course of business minus certain reserves established by the administrative agent and (2) the sum of (x) the outstanding principal balance of all revolving loans under the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement plus (y) the aggregate undrawn available amount of all letters of credit then outstanding plus the amount of any obligations that arise from any draw against any letter of credit that have not been reimbursed by the borrowers or funded with a revolving loan under the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement (the “Loan Parties Liquidity”), as of the last day of any fiscal month ending on or after November 30, 2019, of at least $10,000,000. As a condition to executing the 2019 Refinancing Amendment Number One and Waiver, the loan parties were required to pay a non-refundable waiver fee of $400,000 and a non-refundable amendment fee of $1,000,000 (the “PIK First Amendment Fee”, which shall be paid in kind by adding the PIK First Amendment Fee to the outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan as additional principal obligations thereunder on and as of the effective date 2019 Refinancing Amendment Number One and Waiver).
During December 2020, the Company was not in compliance with the collateral coverage debt covenant as defined by the 2019 Term Loan financing agreement. The Company was required to maintain at all times a Collateral Coverage Amount (as defined in the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan financing agreement) equal to or greater than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Term Loans. The Company calculated its Collateral Coverage amount at $37.9 million as of December 31, 2020, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans was $39.0 million as of that same date for an excess of debt over collateral of $1.1 million. On February 1, 2021, the Company, LFS and LHLLC entered into a Waiver - Collateral Coverage Amount (December 2020) ("December 2020 Waiver") with the lenders party thereto and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC as collateral agent and administrative agent. The December 2020 Waiver included a waiver of the Company's compliance with the Collateral Coverage Amount for the month ending December 31, 2020. The lender waived the event of default arising from this noncompliance as of December 31, 2020, while reserving its rights with respect to covenant compliance in future months.
The 2019 Refinancing Term Loan was paid in full on February 24, 2021 as part of the refinancing transaction.

2019 Refinancing Agreement - CB Warrants
In connection with the 2019 Refinancing Agreement, on the Refinancing Closing Date, the Company issued to CB and the other lenders under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement warrants (the “CB Warrants”) to purchase up to a maximum of 263,314 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.63 per share subject to certain adjustments, including for stock dividends, stock splits or reclassifications. The actual number of shares of common stock into which the CB Warrants were exercisable at any given time were equal to: (i) the product of (x) the number of shares equal to 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the Refinancing Closing Date on a fully diluted basis and (y) the percentage of the total 2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan made as of the exercise date, minus (ii) the number of shares previously issued under the CB Warrants. As of the Refinancing Closing Date through February 24, 2021, no amounts had been drawn on the 2019 Delayed Draw Term Loan, so no portion of the CB Warrants were exercisable. The CB Warrants were to be exercised for cash or on a “cashless basis,” subject to certain adjustments, at any time after the 2019 Refinancing Closing Date until the expiration of such warrant at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the earlier of (i) the five (5) year anniversary of the 2019 Refinancing Closing Date, or (ii) the liquidation of the Company.
Accounting for the 2019 Term Loans and CB Warrants
The CB Warrants represented a freestanding financial instrument that was classified as a liability because the CB Warrants met the definition of a derivative instrument that does not meet the equity scope exception (i.e., the CB Warrants were not indexed to the entity’s own equity). In addition, the material weakness penalty described above was evaluated as an embedded derivative liability and bifurcated from the 2019 Term Loans as it represented a non-credit related embedded feature that provides for net settlement. Both the CB Warrants liability and the embedded derivative liability were required to be initially and subsequently measured at fair value. The initial fair values of the CB Warrants liability and the embedded derivative liability approximated $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, on the Refinancing Closing Date. The Company estimated these fair values by using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach.
The CB Warrants liability was included in other long-term liabilities. The Company remeasured the fair value of the CB Warrants liability as of December 31, 2020 and February 24, 2021 prior to the refinancing date and recorded any adjustments as other income (expense). At both February 24, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the CB Warrants liability was $2.0 million. Due to the extinguishment of the CB Warrants on February 24, 2021, there was no liability associated with the CB Warrants recorded as of June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded other income of $0.1 million to reflect the change in the fair value of the CB Warrants liability. The Company did not record a change in fair value of the warrant liability during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the CB Warrants liability was extinguished as part of the debt refinancing on February 24, 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded other income of $0.1 million and other expense of $0.1 million to reflect the change in the CB Warrants liability.
The proceeds for the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan were first allocated to the CB Warrants liability and embedded derivative liability based on their respective fair values with a corresponding amount of $1.3 million recorded as a debt discount to the 2019 Term Loans. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $3.9 million of debt issuance costs, including $1.4 million related to the first amendment, for the 2019 Term Loans that have also been recorded as a debt discount. The combined debt discount from the CB Warrants liability, embedded derivative liability and the debt issuance costs were being amortized into interest expense over the term of the 2019 Term Loans using the effective interest method and were expensed on the refinancing date as a loss on early debt extinguishment. The Company recorded interest expense for the amortization of the CB Warrants liability and embedded derivative debt discounts of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company did not record interest expense for the amortization of the CB Warrants liability and embedded derivative liability debt discounts for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as these debt discounts were extinguished as part of the debt refinancing on February 24, 2021. The Company recorded interest expense for the amortization of the CB Warrants liability and embedded derivative debt discounts of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
In addition to the amortization of the debt discounts into interest expense, the Company recorded $0.1 million of interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company did not record any interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the debt issuance costs were extinguished as part of the debt refinancing on February 24, 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an additional $0.4 million and $0.7 million of interest expense, respectively, for the amortization of the debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Refinancing Term Loan.

2019 ABL Credit Agreement
On the Refinancing Closing Date, LFS also entered into a financing agreement with the lenders thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as collateral agent, administrative agent and origination agent (the “2019 ABL Credit Agreement” and, together with the 2019 Refinancing Agreement, the “Refinancing Agreements”). The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement consisted of a $15.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Credit Facility”). Proceeds of the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility were to be used for general corporate purposes. On the Refinancing Closing Date, the Company had nothing drawn on the ABL Credit Agreement and $14.0 million of available borrowing capacity thereunder (net of a $1.0 million reserve imposed by the lender).
The 2019 Refinancing Borrowers and 2019 Refinancing Guarantors under the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement were the same as under the 2019 Refinancing Agreement. The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement was secured by a second-priority lien on the real property of the Loan Parties (behind the 2019 Refinancing Agreement) and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the Loan Parties.
2019 ABL Credit Agreement - Interest Rates and Fees
The interest rate on borrowings under the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement was, at the 2019 Refinancing Borrowers’ option, either LIBOR (with a 2.0% floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.50% or a base rate (with a 3.0% minimum) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. At February 24, 2021 (the 2021 refinancing date) and June 30, 2020, the interest rate in effect on the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement was 5.25%.
2019 ABL Credit Agreement - Other Terms and Conditions
The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement was set to mature on April 12, 2022. There was also an unused line fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum on undrawn amounts.
The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement contained representations and warranties, and covenants which are customary for debt facilities of this type. Unless the Required Lenders otherwise consented in writing, the covenants limited the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, generally, to (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make distributions to the Company’s stockholders, (iii) purchase or redeem the Company’s equity interests, (iv) make investments, (v) create liens on their assets, (vi) enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates, (vii) sell assets other than in the ordinary course of business or another permitted disposition of assets and (viii) merge or consolidate with, or dispose of substantially all of the Company’s assets to, other companies.
The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement included customary events of default and other provisions that could require all amounts due thereunder to become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the option of the lenders, if the Company failed to comply with the terms of the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement or if other customary events occur.
The 2019 ABL Credit Agreement also contained a financial maintenance covenant for the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility, which is a requirement for the Total Leverage Ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries not to exceed an amount beginning at 4.00 to 1.00 through September 30, 2019, and stepping down to 1.75 to 1.00 effective July 1, 2021. In addition, the parties to the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement entered into an amendment which, among other changes revises the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio, starting at 3.30 to 1.00 on October 1, 2019 with a peak ratio of 4.25 during March 2020 along with varying monthly rates culminating in the lowest Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 on April 1, 2021 through the term of such agreement.
In connection with the 2019 ABL Credit Amendment Number One and Waiver, the parties amended certain provisions of the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement, including, among other changes to (i) require the approval of the origination agent and, generally, the lenders representing at least 50.1% of the aggregate undrawn revolving loan commitment or unpaid principal amount of the 2019 Term Loans, prior to effecting any permitted acquisition; (ii) revise the maximum permitted Total Leverage Ratio, starting at 3.30 to 1.00 on October 1, 2019 with a peak ratio of 4.25 during March 2020 along with varying monthly rates culminating in the lowest Total Leverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 on April 1, 2021 through the term of the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement; and (iii) require the Loan Parties Liquidity as of the last day of any fiscal month ending on or after November 30, 2019, of at least $10,000,000, as described above in the Amendment Number One to 2019 Refinancing Agreement and Waiver. As a condition to executing the 2019 ABL Credit Amendment Number One and Waiver, the loan parties were required to pay a non-refundable waiver fee of $7,500.
Table of Contents
As noted above in the section titled: 2019 Refinancing Agreement - Other Terms and Conditions, the Company was subject to cross-default under our 2019 Revolving Credit Facility as a result of our failure to satisfy the Collateral Coverage Amount as defined in the 2019 Term Loan financing agreement, which required the company to obtain a waiver. Accordingly, on February 1, 2021, the Company, LFS and LHLLC entered into a Waiver - Collateral Coverage Amount (December 2020) (“December 2020 Waiver”) with the lenders party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and administrative agent. The December 2020 Waiver included a waiver of the Company's compliance with the Collateral Coverage Amount for the month ending December 31, 2020. The lender has waived the event of default arising from this noncompliance as of December 31, 2020, while reserving its rights with respect to covenant compliance in future months.
At February 24, 2021 (the 2021 refinancing date) and December 31, 2020, the Company had irrevocable letters of credit in the amount of $3.4 million with its lender to secure obligations under its self-insurance program.
Accounting for the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement
The Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of debt issuance costs for the 2019 ABL Credit Agreement that had been recorded as a non-current deferred asset. The deferred asset was amortized into interest expense over the term of the 2019 Term ABL Credit Agreement using the effective interest method and then expensed on the February 24, 2021 refinancing date as a loss on early debt extinguishment. The Company recorded $0.1 million of interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company did not record any interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the debt issuance costs were extinguished as part of the debt refinancing on February 24, 2021. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $0.1 million of interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs.
Wintrust Term and Revolving Loans
On February 24, 2021, LFS, LHLLC and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of LFS from time to time included as parties to the agreement (the “Wintrust Guarantors”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the LFS, LHLLC, Wintrust Guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time, Wheaton Bank & Trust Company, N.A., a subsidiary of Wintrust Financial Corporation (collectively, “Wintrust”), as administrative agent and L/C issuer, Bank of the West as documentation agent, M&T Bank as syndication agent, and Wintrust as lead arranger and sole book runner.
In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, Lenders provide to LFS (i) a $30.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Wintrust Term Loan”); and (ii) a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Wintrust Revolving Loan” and, together with the Wintrust Term Loan, the “Wintrust Loans”). Proceeds of the Wintrust Loans were used to refinance certain existing indebtedness, finance working capital and other general corporate purposes and fund certain fees and expenses associated with the closing of the Wintrust Loans.
The Wintrust Revolving Loan bears interest, at the LFS’s option, at either LIBOR (with a 0.25% floor) plus 3.5% or a base rate (with a 3.0% floor) plus 0.50%, subject to a 50 basis point step-down based on the ratio between the senior debt of the Company and its subsidiaries to the EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) of the LFS and its subsidiaries for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters (the “Senior Leverage Ratio”). The Wintrust Term Loan bears interest, at LFS’s option, at either LIBOR (with a 0.25% floor) plus 4.0% or a base rate (with a 3.0% floor) plus 1.00%, subject to a 50 (for LIBOR) or 75 (for base rate) basis point step-down based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.
LFS is required to make principal payments on the Wintrust Term Loan in $0.5 million installments on the last business day of each month commencing on March 31, 2021 with a final payment of all principal and interest not sooner paid on the Wintrust Term Loan due and payable on February 24, 2026. The Wintrust Revolving Loan will mature and become due and payable by LFS on February 24, 2026.
The Wintrust Loans are secured by (i) a valid, perfected and enforceable lien of the administrative agent on the ownership interests held by each of LFS and Wintrust Guarantors in their respective subsidiaries; and (ii) a valid, perfected and enforceable lien of the administrative agent on each of LFS and Wintrust Guarantors’ personal property, fixtures and real estate, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. Additionally, the re-payment of the Wintrust Loans shall be jointly and severally guaranteed by each Wintrust Guarantor.

The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants and events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, as more particularly described in the Credit Agreement. The Wintrust Loans also contain three financial maintenance covenants, including (i) a requirement to have as of the last day of each quarter for the senior leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries not to exceed an amount beginning at 2.25 to 1.00 through December 31, 2021, and stepping down to 2.00 to 1.00 at all times thereafter, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021, and (iii) no unfinanced capital expenditures, except for unfinanced capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business not exceeding in the aggregate $4.0 million during any fiscal year; and no default or event of default (as defined by the agreement) has occurred and is continuing, 50% of any portion of this annual limit, if not expended in the fiscal year for which it is permitted, may be carried over for expenditure in the next following fiscal year as stipulated by the agreement. LFS and its affiliates maintain various commercial and service relationships with certain members of the syndicate and their affiliates in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial maintenance covenants as required by the Wintrust Loans.

Cash Flow Summary
Management continues to devote additional resources to its billing and collection efforts during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Management continues to expect that growth in its ODR business, which is less sensitive to the cash flow issues presented by large GCR projects, will positively impact our cash flow trends.
Provided that the Company’s lenders continue to provide working capital funding, we believe based on the Company's current reforecast that our current cash and cash equivalents of $27.7 million as of June 30, 2021, cash payments to be received from existing and new customers, and availability of borrowing under the revolving line of credit under our Wintrust Loans (pursuant to which we had $21.6 million of availability as of June 30, 2021) will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. See Note 1 - Organization and Plan of Business Operations.

Surety Bonding
In connection with our business, we are occasionally required to provide various types of surety bonds that provide an additional measure of security to our customers for our performance under certain government and private sector contracts. Our ability to obtain surety bonds depends upon our capitalization, working capital, past performance, management expertise and external factors, including the capacity of the overall surety market. Surety companies consider such factors in light of the amount of our backlog that we have currently bonded and their current underwriting standards, which may change from time-to-time. The bonds we provide typically reflect the contract value. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $265.3 million and $79.4 million in surety bonds outstanding, respectively. We believe that our $700.0 million bonding capacity provides us with a significant competitive advantage relative to many of our competitors which have limited bonding capacity.
Insurance and Self-Insurance
We purchase workers’ compensation and general liability insurance under policies with per-incident deductibles of $250,000 per occurrence. Losses incurred over primary policy limits are covered by umbrella and excess policies up to specified limits with multiple excess insurers. We accrue for the unfunded portion of costs for both reported claims and claims incurred but not reported. The liability for unfunded reported claims and future claims is reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as current and non-current liabilities. The liability is computed by determining a reserve for each reported claim on a case-by-case basis based on the nature of the claim and historical loss experience for similar claims plus an allowance for the cost of incurred but not reported claims. The current portion of the liability is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The non-current portion of the liability is included in other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We are self-insured related to medical and dental claims under policies with annual per-claimant and annual aggregate stop-loss limits. We accrue for the unfunded portion of costs for both reported claims and claims incurred but not reported. The liability for unfunded reported claims and future claims is reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a current liability in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
The components of the self-insurance liability are reflected below as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
| (in thousands) | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current liability – workers’ compensation and general liability | $ | 105 | $ | 197 |
| Current liability – medical and dental | 511 | 764 | ||
| Non-current liability | 776 | 890 | ||
| Total liability | $ | 1,392 | $ | 1,851 |
| Restricted cash | $ | 113 | $ | 113 |
The restricted cash balance represents cash set aside for the funding of workers’ compensation and general liability insurance claims. This amount is replenished when depleted, or at the beginning of each month.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
We participate in approximately 40 multiemployer pension plans (“MEPPs”) that provide retirement benefits to certain union employees in accordance with various collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”). As one of many participating employers in these MEPPs, we are responsible with the other participating employers for any plan underfunding. Our contributions to a particular MEPP are established by the applicable CBAs; however, required contributions may increase based on the funded status of an MEPP and legal requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “PPA”), which requires substantially underfunded MEPPs to implement a funding improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) to improve their funded status. Factors that could impact funded status of an MEPP include, without limitation, investment performance, changes in the participant demographics, decline in the number of contributing employers, changes in actuarial assumptions and the utilization of extended amortization provisions. Assets contributed to the MEPPs by us may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. If a participating employer stops contributing to an MEPP, the unfunded obligations of the MEPP may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
Table of Contents
An FIP or RP requires a particular MEPP to adopt measures to correct its underfunding status. These measures may include, but are not limited to an increase in a company’s contribution rate as a signatory to the applicable CBA, or changes to the benefits paid to retirees. In addition, the PPA requires that a 5.0% surcharge be levied on employer contributions for the first year commencing shortly after the date the employer receives notice that the MEPP is in critical status and a 10.0% surcharge on each succeeding year until a CBA is in place with terms and conditions consistent with the RP.
We could also be obligated to make payments to MEPPs if we either cease to have an obligation to contribute to the MEPP or significantly reduce our contributions to the MEPP because we reduce the number of employees who are covered by the relevant MEPP for various reasons, including, but not limited to, layoffs or closure of a subsidiary assuming the MEPP has unfunded vested benefits. The amount of such payments (known as a complete or partial withdrawal liability) would equal our proportionate share of the MEPPs’ unfunded vested benefits. We believe that certain of the MEPPs in which we participate may have unfunded vested benefits. Due to uncertainty regarding future factors that could trigger withdrawal liability, we are unable to determine (a) the amount and timing of any future withdrawal liability, if any, and (b) whether our participation in these MEPPs could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); therefore, pursuant to Item 301(c) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation as of June 30, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

(i) to select those Eligible Recipients who shall be Participants;

(c) All decisions made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or the Committee, or any officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, omission, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company and of any Subsidiary thereof acting on their behalf shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, omission, determination or interpretation.
Section 4. Shares Reserved for Issuance Under the Plan and Limitations on Awards.
(a) Subject to Section 5 of the Plan, the number of Shares that are reserved and available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan is 2,250,000. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options is eight-hundred thousand (800,000).
(b) The aggregate Awards granted during any fiscal year to any Participant shall not exceed, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 of the Plan: (i) is four-hundred thousand (400,000) Shares subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, (ii) is four-hundred thousand (400,000) Shares subject to Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Other Share Based Awards (other than Stock Appreciation Rights), and (iii) two million dollars ($2,000,000) with respect to Other Cash-Based Awards with a Restricted Period of one (1) year and five-hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) with respect to Other Cash-Based Awards with a Restricted Period greater than one (1) year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Shares subject to Awards granted during any fiscal year to any non-employee Director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee Director during the fiscal year, shall not exceed five-hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date Fair Market Value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).
(c) Shares issued under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise. Any Shares subject to an Award under the Plan that, after the Effective Date, are forfeited, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated without a distribution of Shares to a Participant will thereafter be deemed to be available for Awards. In applying the immediately preceding sentence, if (i) Shares otherwise issuable or issued in respect of, or as part of, any Award are withheld to cover taxes or any applicable Exercise Price, such Shares shall be treated as having been issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan, and (ii) any Share-settled Stock Appreciation Rights or Options are exercised, the aggregate number of Shares subject to such Stock Appreciation Rights or Options shall be deemed issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. In addition, Shares tendered to exercise outstanding Options or other Awards or to cover applicable taxes on any Awards shall not be available for issuance under the Plan.
(d) Except in the case of Substitute Awards granted pursuant to Section 4(e) and subject to the following sentence, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one (1) year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Committee may provide that the vesting of an Award shall accelerate in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability, or Retirement, or the occurrence of a Change in Control, and (ii) the Committee may grant Awards covering five percent (5%) or fewer of the total number of Shares authorized under the Plan without respect to the above-described minimum vesting requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Awards to non-employee Directors, the vesting of such Awards will be deemed to satisfy the one (1) year minimum vesting requirement to the extent that the Awards vest on the earlier of the one (1) year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders that is at least fifty (50) weeks after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting.
(e) Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan. In the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or with which the Company or any Affiliate combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan; provided, that Awards using such available Shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.
(f) In the event that the Company or an Affiliate thereof consummates a transaction described in Code Section 424(a) (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees or Directors in account of such transaction may be granted Substitute Awards in substitution for awards granted by their former employer, and any such substitute Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted with an Exercise Price less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the grant date thereof; provided, however, the grant of such substitute Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall not constitute a “modification” as defined in Code Section 424(h)(3) and the applicable Treasury regulations.
Section 5. Equitable Adjustments.
In the event of any Change in Capitalization, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made, in each case, as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in (i) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and the maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Awards granted to any Participant in any calendar or fiscal year, (ii) the kind, number and Exercise Price subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan; provided, however, that any such substitution or adjustment with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and (iii) the kind, number and purchase price of Shares subject to outstanding Restricted Shares or Other Share Based Awards granted under the Plan, in each case as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any fractional Shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Such other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Award granted hereunder in exchange for payment in cash or other property having an aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Award, reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price or purchase price thereof, if any. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, any adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock Option due to an adjustment or substitution described in this Section 5 shall comply with the rules of Code Section 424(a), and in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder to be disqualified as an incentive stock option for purposes of Code Section 422. The Administrator’s determinations pursuant to this Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Section 6. Eligibility.
The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from among Eligible Recipients.
Section 7. Options.
(a) General. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Options to Participants. Solely with respect to Participants who are Employees, the Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options or a combination of both. With respect to all other Participants, the Committee may grant only Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Participant who is granted an Option shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, which Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option and shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option granted thereunder. The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. The prospective recipient of an Option shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.
(b) Limits on Incentive Stock Options. If the Administrator grants Incentive Stock Options, then to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options to the extent required by Code Section 422.
(c) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the Exercise Price of an Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) stockholder of the Company’s Common Stock (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) shall have an exercise price per share less than one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date.
(d) Option Term. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but in no event shall (i) an Option be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted, and (ii) an Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) stockholder of the Company’s Common Stock (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option’s term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan (including without limitation Section 7(h)), if, on the date an outstanding Option would expire, the exercise of the Option, including by a “net exercise” or “cashless” exercise, would violate applicable securities laws or any insider trading policy maintained by the Company from time to time, the expiration date applicable to the Option will be extended, except to the extent such extension would violate Section 409A, to a date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the date the exercise of the Option would no longer violate applicable securities laws or any such insider trading policy.
(e) Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.
(f) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. In determining which methods a Participant may utilize to pay the Exercise Price, the Administrator may consider such factors as it determines are appropriate; provided, however, that with respect to Incentive Stock Options, all such discretionary determinations shall be made by the Administrator at the time of grant and specified in the Award Agreement.
(g) Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof, has paid in full for such Shares and has satisfied the requirements of Section 15 of the Plan.
(h) Termination of Employment or Service.
(i) Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company and all Affiliates thereof shall terminate for any reason other than Cause, Retirement, Disability, or death, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is ninety (90) days after such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. The ninety (90) day period described in this Section 7(h)(i) shall be extended to one (1) year after the date of such termination in the event of the Participant’s death during such ninety (90) day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.
(ii) Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company and all Affiliates thereof shall terminate on account of Retirement, Disability or the death of the Participant, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is one (1) year after such termination, on which date they shall expire and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.
(iii) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire at the commencement of business on the date of such termination.
(iv) For purposes of determining which Options are exercisable upon termination of employment or service for purposes of this Section 7(h), Options that are not exercisable solely due to a blackout period shall be considered exercisable.
(i) Other Change in Employment Status. An Option may be affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or other changes in the employment status or service of a Participant, as evidenced in a Participant’s Award Agreement.
(j) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Options shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
(k) Automatic Exercise. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each vested and exercisable Option
outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an Exercise Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value per Share as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. In the sole discretion of the Administrator, payment of the exercise price of any such Option shall be made pursuant to Section 7(f)(i), or (ii) and the Company or any Affiliate shall deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 15. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 7(k) shall not apply to an Option if the Participant’s employment or service has terminated on or before the Automatic Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Option with an Exercise Price per Share that is equal to or greater the Fair Market Value per Share on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 7(k).
Section 8. Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”). Related Rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Option. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made, the number of Shares to be awarded, the price per Share, and all other conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted for more Shares than are subject to the Option to which it relates and any Stock Appreciation Right must be granted with an Exercise Price not less than the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of grant. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
(b) Awards; Rights as Stockholder. The prospective recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Participants who are granted Stock Appreciation Rights shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company with respect to the grant or exercise of such rights.
(c) Exercisability.
(i) Stock Appreciation Rights that are Free Standing Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.
(ii) Stock Appreciation Rights that are Related Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 above and this Section 8 of the Plan.
(d) Payment Upon Exercise.
(i) Upon the exercise of a Free Standing Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the price per share specified in the Free Standing Right multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Free Standing Right is being exercised.
(ii) A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Related Right is being exercised. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right in cash (or in any combination of Shares and cash).
(e) Termination of Employment or Service.
(i) Subject to Section 8(f), in the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free Standing Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.
(ii) Subject to Section 8(f), in the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Related Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Options.
(f) Term.
(i) The term of each Free Standing Right shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Free Standing Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.
(ii) The term of each Related Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.
(g) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
(h) Automatic Exercise. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each vested and exercisable Stock Appreciation Right outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an Exercise Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value per Share as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. The Company or any Affiliate shall deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 15. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 8(h) shall not apply to a Stock Appreciation Right if the Participant’s employment or service has terminated on or before the Automatic Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Stock Appreciation Right with an Exercise Price per Share that is equal to or greater the Fair Market Value per Share on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 8(h).
Section 9. Restricted Shares.
(a) General. Restricted Shares may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Shares shall be made; the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Shares; the Restricted Period, if any, applicable to Restricted Shares; the Performance Goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Shares; and all other conditions of the Restricted Shares. If the restrictions, Performance Goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Shares in accordance with the terms of the grant. The provisions of the Restricted Shares need not be the same with respect to each Participant.
(b) Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of Restricted Shares shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(c) of the Plan, (i) each Participant who is granted an award of Restricted Shares may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued a stock certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares; and
(ii) any such certificate so issued shall be registered in the name of the Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any such Award.
The Company may require that the stock certificates, if any, evidencing Restricted Shares granted hereunder be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Shares, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any Restricted Shares (whether before or after any vesting conditions have been satisfied) may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued in uncertificated form pursuant to the customary arrangements for issuing shares in such form.
(c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Shares granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or thereafter:
(i) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain Performance Goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as a non-employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability.
(ii) Except as provided in Section 17 of the Plan or in the Award Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to Restricted Shares during the Restricted Period. In the Administrator’s discretion and as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant may be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents on an Award of Restricted Shares, which will be payable in accordance with the terms of such grant as determined by the Administrator. Certificates for Shares of unrestricted Common Stock may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant only after the Restricted Period has expired without forfeiture in respect of such Restricted Shares, except as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine.
(iii) The rights of Participants granted Restricted Shares upon termination of employment or service as a non-employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.
(d) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Shares shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
Section 10. Restricted Stock Units.
(a) General. Restricted Stock Units may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock Units shall be made; the number of Restricted Stock Units to be awarded; the Restricted Period, if any, applicable to Restricted Stock Units; the Performance Goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Stock Units; and all other conditions of the Restricted Stock Units. If the restrictions, Performance Goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms of the grant. The provisions of Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.
(b) Award Agreement. The prospective recipient of Restricted Stock Units shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.
(c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or, subject to Code Section 409A, thereafter:
(i) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain Performance Goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as a non-employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability.
(ii) Participants holding Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights. A Restricted Stock Unit may, at the Administrator’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right would entitle the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Restricted Stock Unit is outstanding. The Administrator, in its discretion, may grant dividend equivalents from the date of grant or only after a Restricted Stock Unit is vested.
(iii) The rights of Participants granted Restricted Stock Units upon termination of employment or service as a non-employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.
(d) Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made to Participants in the form of Shares, unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, provides for the payment of the Restricted Stock Units in cash (or partly in cash and partly in Shares) equal to the value of the Shares that would otherwise be distributed to the Participant.
(e) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
Section 11. Other Share Based or Cash-Based Awards.
(a) The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Share Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards, as deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and as evidenced by an Award Agreement. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, consistent with the terms of the Plan, at the date of grant or thereafter, including any Performance Goals and performance periods. Common Stock or other securities or property delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 11 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, Shares, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to any required corporate action.
(b) The prospective recipient of an Other Share-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Other Share-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
Section 12. Change in Control.
The Administrator may provide in the applicable Award Agreement that an Award will vest on an accelerated basis upon the Participant’s termination of employment or service in connection with a Change in Control or upon the occurrence of any other event that the Administrator may set forth in the Award Agreement. If the Company is a party to an agreement that is reasonably likely to result in a Change in Control, such agreement may provide for: (i)
the continuation of any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights by the Company, if the Company is the surviving corporation; (ii) the assumption of any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; (iii) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of equivalent awards for any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, provided, however, that any such assumption or substitution with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii) shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and 424, when applicable; or (iv) settlement of any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights for the Change in Control Price (less, to the extent applicable, the per share exercise or grant price), or, if the per share exercise or grant price equals or exceeds the Change in Control Price or if the Administrator determines that Award cannot reasonably become vested pursuant to its terms, such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and be canceled. To the extent that Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or other Awards (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) settle in Shares in accordance with their terms upon a Change in Control, such Shares shall be entitled to receive as a result of the Change in Control transaction the same consideration as the Shares held by stockholders of the Company as a result of the Change in Control transaction. For purposes of this Section 12, “Change in Control Price” shall mean the Fair Market Value of a Share upon a Change in Control. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such Change in Control transaction consists all or in part of securities or other non-cash consideration, the value of such securities or other non-cash consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Administrator.
Section 13. Amendment and Termination.
(a) The Board or the Committee may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s consent.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) approval of the Company’s stockholders shall be obtained to increase the aggregate Share limit and annual Award limits described in Section 4 and for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 422, if applicable, any rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or other applicable law, and (ii) without stockholder approval to the extent required by the rules of any applicable national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares are listed or quoted, except as otherwise permitted under Section 5 of the Plan, (A) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (B) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and replace it with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right, another Award or cash and (C) the Committee may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and Code Section 409A, the Administrator may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards under the Plan, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards (to the extent not already exercised) and grant new Awards in substitution of them (to the extent not already exercised).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no alteration, modification or termination of an Award will, without the prior written consent of the Participant, adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award already granted under the Plan.
Section 14. Unfunded Status of Plan.
The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made or Shares not yet transferred to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.
Section 15. Withholding Taxes.
Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of such Participant for federal, state and/or local income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind,
domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to the Award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever Shares are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or other greater amount not exceeding the maximum statutory rate required to be collected on the transaction under applicable law, as applicable to the Participant, if such other greater amount would not, as determined by the Committee, result in adverse financial accounting treatment (including in connection with the effectiveness of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-09). Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Option or other Award.
Section 16. Dividends; Dividend Equivalents.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that an Award contains a right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents while such Award remains unvested, such dividends or dividend equivalents will be accumulated and paid once and to the extent that the underlying Award vests.
Section 17. Non-United States Employees.
Without amending the Plan, the Administrator may grant Awards to eligible persons residing in non-United States jurisdictions on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan, including the terms of any award agreement or plan, adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to comply with, or take advantage of favorable tax or other treatment available under, the laws of any non-United States jurisdiction, as may in the judgment of the Administrator be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and, in furtherance of such purposes the Administrator may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operates or has employees.
Section 18. Transfer of Awards.
No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, charge, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any Award or any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”) by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement will be valid, except with the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator. Any purported Transfer of an Award or any economic benefit or interest therein in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and shall not create any obligation or liability of the Company, and any person purportedly acquiring any Award or any economic benefit or interest therein transferred in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall not be entitled to be recognized as a holder of such Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during any period during which the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.
Section 19. Continued Employment.
The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time.
Section 20. Effective Date and Approval Date.
The Plan was originally effective as of July 20, 2016 and amended on May 30, 2019 and the Plan, as amended and restated hereby, will be effective as of June 16, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). The Plan will be unlimited in duration and, in the event of Plan termination, will remain in effect as long as any Shares awarded under it are outstanding and not fully vested; provided, however, that no Awards will be made under the Plan on or after June 16, 2031. No Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan until the Approval Date. If the Approval Date does not occur within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, then no Options that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan.
Section 21. Code Section 409A.
The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan be either exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered consistent with such intent. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided upon a “separation from service” to a Participant who is a “specified employee” shall be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Nothing contained in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect with respect to an Award. The Company does not guarantee that any Awards provided under the Plan will be exempt from or in compliance with the provisions of Code Section 409A, and in no event will the Company be liable for any or all portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by a Participant on account of any Award being subject to, but not in compliance with, Code Section 409A.
Section 22. Erroneously Awarded Compensation.
The Plan and all Awards issued hereunder shall be subject to any compensation recovery and/or recoupment policy adopted by the Company to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or to comport with good corporate governance practices, as such policies may be amended from time to time.
Section 23. Governing Law.
The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state.
Section 24. Plan Document Controls.
The Plan and each Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and such Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.
