CLEAN HARBORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Clean Harbors, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Clean Harbors,” the “Company” or "we") and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Management has made estimates and assumptions affecting the amounts reported in the Company's consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying footnotes, actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or any other interim periods. The financial statements presented herein should be read in connection with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2013
.
Reclassifications
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company made changes to the manner in which it manages its business, makes operating decisions and assesses performance. These changes included the reassignment of certain departments among its operating segments consistent with management reporting changes as well as the identification of Lodging Services as an additional segment. Under the new structure, the Company's operations are managed in six reportable segments: Technical Services, Industrial and Field Services, Oil Re-refining and Recycling, SK Environmental Services, Lodging Services and Oil and Gas Field Services. The prior year segment information has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. See Note 17, “Segment Reporting.”
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2013
. There have been no material changes in these policies or their application.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards implemented
On January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-11
Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.
This standard provides guidance regarding when an unrecognized tax benefit should be classified as a reduction to a deferred tax asset or when it should be classified as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Standards to be implemented
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016.
In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08,
Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)
. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 provide guidance for the recognition and disclosure of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the above standards to be implemented will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(3) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Evergreen
On
September 13, 2013
, the Company acquired
100%
of the outstanding common shares of Evergreen Oil, Inc. (“Evergreen”) for a final purchase price of
$56.3 million
in cash, net of cash acquired. Evergreen, headquartered in Irvine, California, specializes in the recovery and re-refining of used oil. Evergreen owns and operates
one
of the only oil re-refining operations in the western United States and also offers other ancillary environmental services, including parts cleaning and containerized waste services, vacuum services and hazardous waste management services. The acquisition of Evergreen enables the Company to further penetrate the small quantity waste generator market and further expand its oil re-refining, oil recycling and waste treatment capabilities. Financial information and results of Evergreen have been recorded in our consolidated financial statements since acquisition and are primarily included in the Oil Re-refining and Recycling segment.
Management determined the purchase price allocations based on estimates of the fair values of all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that such information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As of
June 30, 2014
, the Company has finalized the purchase accounting for the acquisition of Evergreen, except for environmental liabilities and taxes. The impact of the purchase price measurement period adjustments and related tax impacts recorded in the current period was not material to the consolidated financial statements and accordingly, the effects have not been retrospectively applied.

2014 Acquisitions
On May 30, 2014 the Company acquired certain assets of a privately owned U.S. company which provides carbon treatment systems and rental remediation equipment for approximately
$6.2 million
in cash. The purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments based upon finalized working capital amounts. The acquired company has been integrated into the Technical Services segment.
(4) MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly, carries such securities at fair value based upon readily available quoted market prices of the securities. Unrealized gains and losses are reported, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income. On

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of
December 31,
or when events or changes in the business environment would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company conducted the annual impairment test of goodwill for all reporting units as of
December 31, 2013
and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill for any reporting unit was necessary because the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values.
The fair value of the Oil Re-refining and Recycling reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by less than
10%
at
December 31, 2013
. During the first
six
months of fiscal
2014
the reporting unit has experienced lower than anticipated financial results primarily due to lower sales mix between base oils and higher priced blended oils as well as higher utilities and shutdown related costs. The lower sales prices reflected general economic conditions in the oil industry during the period. The financial performance of this reporting unit, which had a goodwill balance of approximately
$174.7 million
at
June 30, 2014
, is affected by fluctuations in oil prices overall market supply of refined oil and sales mix.
The fair value of the Oil and Gas Field Services reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by more than
10%
at
December 31, 2013
. The financial performance of this reporting unit, which had a goodwill balance of approximately
$36.4 million
at
June 30, 2014
, was affected in the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
by pricing pressures and lower levels of overall activity in the markets and regions that the business serves.

Table of Contents
Significant judgments are inherent in the annual impairment tests performed and include assumptions about the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, growth rates, and the determination of appropriate discount rates. The Company believes that the assumptions used in its annual impairment analysis are reasonable, but variations in any of the assumptions may result in different calculations of fair values that could result in a material impairment charge. The annual impairment tests performed as of
December 31, 2013
utilized future annual budgeted amounts and discount rate assumptions based on an assessment of the Company's weighted average cost of capital as well as other significant assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time.
During the interim periods of fiscal year
2014
and with respect to the Oil Re-Refining and Recycling and Oil and Gas Field Services reporting units, the Company has considered whether (i) the lower than anticipated results (ii) general economic and industry conditions, and (iii) reporting unit specific factors would more likely than not reduce the estimated fair values of its reporting units below their carrying values. The Company has not performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill for any of its reporting units as it does not believe the factors impacting the performance of the reporting units through
June 30, 2014
would more likely than not reduce the fair value below carrying value.
The performance of the Oil Re-Refining and Recycling and Oil and Gas Field Services reporting units will continue to be monitored. If these reporting units do not achieve the financial performance that the Company expects, it is possible that a goodwill impairment charge may result. There can be no assurance that future events will not result in an impairment of goodwill.

(16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal and Administrative Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Actions filed against the Company arise from commercial and employment-related claims including alleged class actions related to sales practices and wage and hour claims. The plaintiffs in these actions may be seeking damages or injunctive relief or both. These actions are in various jurisdictions and stages of proceedings, and some are covered in part by insurance. In addition, the Company’s waste management services operations are regulated by federal, state, provincial and local laws enacted to regulate discharge of materials into the environment, remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater or otherwise protect the environment. This ongoing regulation results in the Company frequently becoming a party to legal or administrative proceedings involving all levels of governmental authorities and other interested parties. The issues involved in such proceedings generally relate to alleged violations of existing permits and licenses or alleged responsibility under federal or state Superfund laws to remediate contamination at properties owned either by the Company or by other parties (“third party sites”) to which either the Company or the prior owners of certain of the Company’s facilities shipped wastes.
At
June 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the Company had recorded reserves of
$44.4 million
and
$41.7 million
, respectively, in the Company's financial statements for actual or probable liabilities related to the legal and administrative proceedings in which the Company was then involved, the principal of which are described below. At
June 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the Company also believed that it was reasonably possible that the amount of these potential liabilities could be as much as
$3.5 million
more. The Company periodically adjusts the aggregate amount of these reserves when actual or probable liabilities are paid or otherwise discharged, new claims arise, or additional relevant information about existing or probable claims becomes available. As of
June 30, 2014
, the
$44.4 million
of reserves consisted of (i)
$35.2 million
related to pending legal or administrative proceedings, including Superfund liabilities, which were included in remedial liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and (ii)
$9.2 million
primarily related to federal, state and provincial enforcement actions, which were included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
As of
June 30, 2014
, the principal legal and administrative proceedings in which the Company was involved, or which had been terminated during
2014
, were as follows:
Ville Mercier.
In September 2002, the Company acquired the stock of a subsidiary (the "Mercier Subsidiary") which owns a hazardous waste incinerator in Ville Mercier, Quebec (the "Mercier Facility"). The property adjacent to the Mercier Facility, which is also owned by the Mercier Subsidiary, is now contaminated as a result of actions dating back to 1968, when the Government of Quebec issued to a company unrelated to the Mercier Subsidiary
two
permits to dump organic liquids into lagoons on the property. In 1999, Ville Mercier and
three
neighboring municipalities filed separate legal proceedings against the Mercier Subsidiary and the Government of Quebec. In 2012, the municipalities amended their existing statement of claim to seek
$2.9 million
(cdn) in general damages and
$10.0 million
(cdn) in punitive damages, plus interest and costs, as well as injunctive relief. Both the Government of Quebec and the Company have filed summary judgment motions against the municipalities that are scheduled to be heard in September of 2014. In September 2007, the Quebec Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks issued a Notice pursuant to Section 115.1 of the Environment Quality Act, superseding Notices issued in 1992, which are the subject of the pending litigation. The more recent Notice notifies the Mercier Subsidiary that, if the Mercier Subsidiary does not take certain remedial measures at the site, the Minister intends to undertake those measures at the site and claim direct and indirect costs related to such measures.
The Mercier Subsidiary continues to assert that it has no responsibility for the groundwater contamination in the region and will contest any action by the Ministry to impose costs for remedial measures on the Mercier Subsidiary. The Company also continues to pursue settlement options. At
June 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the Company had accrued
$13.9 million
and
$13.6 million
, respectively, for remedial liabilities relating to the Ville Mercier legal proceedings.
Safety-Kleen Legal Proceedings.
On December 28, 2012, the Company acquired Safety-Kleen and thereby became subject to the legal proceedings in which Safety-Kleen was a party on that date. In addition to certain Superfund proceedings in which Safety-Kleen has been named as a potentially responsible party as described below under “Superfund Proceedings,” the principal such legal proceedings involving Safety-Kleen which were outstanding as of
June 30, 2014
were as follows:
Product Liability Cases.
Safety-Kleen is named as a defendant in various lawsuits that are currently pending in various courts and jurisdictions throughout the United States, including approximately
64
proceedings (excluding cases which have been settled but not formally dismissed) as of
June 30, 2014
, wherein persons claim personal injury resulting from the use of Safety-Kleen's parts cleaning equipment or cleaning products. These proceedings typically involve allegations that the solvent used in Safety-Kleen's parts cleaning equipment contains contaminants and/or that Safety-Kleen's recycling process does not effectively
13
Table of Contents
remove the contaminants that become entrained in the solvent during their use. In addition, certain claimants assert that Safety-Kleen failed to warn adequately the product user of potential risks, including an historic failure to warn that solvent contains trace amounts of toxic or hazardous substances such as benzene. Safety-Kleen maintains insurance that it believes will provide coverage for these claims (over amounts accrued for self-insured retentions and deductibles in certain limited cases), except for punitive damages to the extent not insurable under state law or excluded from insurance coverage. Safety-Kleen believes that these claims lack merit and has historically vigorously defended, and intends to continue to vigorously defend, itself and the safety of its products against all of these claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, Safety-Kleen is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters as of
June 30, 2014
. From
December 31, 2013
to
June 30, 2014
,
eight
product liability claims were settled or dismissed. Due to the nature of these claims and the related insurance, the Company did not incur any expense as Safety-Kleen's insurance provided coverage in full for all such claims. Safety-Kleen may be named in similar, additional lawsuits in the future, including claims for which insurance coverage may not be available.
Fee Class Action Claims.
In October 2010,
two
customers filed a complaint, individually and on behalf of all similarly situated customers in the State of Alabama, alleging that Safety-Kleen improperly assessed fuel surcharges and extended area service fees. In 2012, similar lawsuits were filed by the same law firm in California and Missouri. It is Safety-Kleen's position that it had the right to assess fuel surcharges, that the customers were contractually obligated or otherwise consented to the charges and that the surcharges were voluntarily paid by the customers when presented with an invoice. A class has not been certified in any of these cases, and no reserve has been recorded.
Superfund Proceedings
The Company has been notified that either the Company (which, since December 28, 2012, includes Safety-Kleen) or the prior owners of certain of the Company's facilities for which the Company may have certain indemnification obligations have been identified as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") or potential PRPs in connection with
125
sites which are subject to or are proposed to become subject to proceedings under federal or state Superfund laws. Of the
125
sites,
two
(the Wichita Facility and the BR Facility described below) involve facilities that are now owned by the Company and
123
involve third party sites to which either the Company or the prior owners of certain of the Company’s facilities shipped wastes. Of the
123
third party sites,
29
are now settled,
20
are currently requiring expenditures on remediation and
74
are not currently requiring expenditures on remediation.
In connection with each site, the Company has estimated the extent, if any, to which it may be subject, either directly or as a result of any indemnification obligations, for cleanup and remediation costs, related legal and consulting costs associated with PRP investigations, settlements, and related legal and administrative proceedings. The amount of such actual and potential liability is inherently difficult to estimate because of, among other relevant factors, uncertainties as to the legal liability (if any) of the Company or the prior owners of certain of the Company's facilities to contribute a portion of the cleanup costs, the assumptions that must be made in calculating the estimated cost and timing of remediation, the identification of other PRPs and their respective capability and obligation to contribute to remediation efforts, and the existence and legal standing of indemnification agreements (if any) with prior owners, which may either benefit the Company or subject the Company to potential indemnification obligations. In addition to the Wichita Property and the BR Facility, Clean Harbors believes its potential liability could exceed
$100,000
at
15
of the
123
third party sites.
Wichita Property.
The Company acquired in 2002 as part of the CSD assets a service center located in Wichita, Kansas (the "Wichita Property"). The Wichita Property is one of several properties located within the boundaries of a
1,400
acre state-designated Superfund site in an old industrial section of Wichita known as the North Industrial Corridor Site. Along with numerous other PRPs, the former owner executed a consent decree relating to such site with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), and the Company is continuing an ongoing remediation program for the Wichita Property in accordance with that consent decree. The Company also acquired rights under an indemnification agreement between the former owner and an earlier owner of the Wichita Property which the Company anticipates but cannot guarantee will be available to reimburse certain such cleanup costs.
BR Facility.
The Company acquired in 2002 a former hazardous waste incinerator and landfill in Baton Rouge (the "BR Facility"), for which operations had been previously discontinued by the prior owner. In September 2007, the EPA issued a special notice letter to the Company related to the Devil's Swamp Lake Site ("Devil's Swamp") in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. Devil's Swamp includes a lake located downstream of an outfall ditch where wastewater and stormwater have been discharged, and Devil's Swamp is proposed to be included on the National Priorities List due to the presence of Contaminants of Concern ("COC") cited by the EPA. These COCs include substances of the kind found in wastewater and storm water discharged from the BR Facility in past operations. The EPA originally requested COC generators to submit a good faith offer to conduct a remedial investigation feasibility study directed towards the eventual remediation of the site. The Company is currently performing corrective actions at the BR Facility under an order issued by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (the "LDEQ"), and has begun conducting
14
Table of Contents
the remedial investigation and feasibility study under an order issued by the EPA. The Company cannot presently estimate the potential additional liability for the Devil's Swamp cleanup until a final remedy is selected by the EPA.
Third Party Sites.
Of the
123
third party sites at which the Company has been notified it is a PRP or potential PRP or may have indemnification obligations, Clean Harbors has an indemnification agreement at
11
of these sites with ChemWaste, a former subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc., and at
five
additional of these third party sites, Safety-Kleen has a similar indemnification agreement with McKesson Corporation. These agreements indemnify the Company (which now includes Safety-Kleen) with respect to any liability at the
16
sites for waste disposed prior to the Company's (or Safety-Kleen's) acquisition of the former subsidiaries of Waste Management or McKesson which had shipped wastes to those sites. Accordingly, Waste Management or McKesson are paying all costs of defending those subsidiaries in those
16
cases, including legal fees and settlement costs. However, there can be no guarantee that the Company's ultimate liabilities for those sites will not exceed the amount recorded or that indemnities applicable to any of these sites will be available to pay all or a portion of related costs. Except for the indemnification agreements which the Company holds from ChemWaste and McKesson, the Company does not have an indemnity agreement with respect to any of the
123
third party sites discussed above.
Federal, State and Provincial Enforcement Actions
From time to time, the Company pays fines or penalties in regulatory proceedings relating primarily to waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities. As of
June 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, there were
three
and
five
proceedings, respectively, for which the Company reasonably believed that the sanctions could equal or exceed
$100,000
. The Company believes that the fines or other penalties in these or any of the other regulatory proceedings will, individually or in the aggregate, not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
(17) SEGMENT REPORTING
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company made changes to the manner in which it manages its business, makes operating decisions and assesses performance. These changes included the reassignment of certain departments among its operating segments consistent with management reporting changes as well as the identification of Lodging Services as an additional segment. Under the new structure, the Company's operations are managed in
six
reportable segments based primarily upon the nature of the various operations and services provided: Technical Services, Industrial and Field Services which consists of the Industrial Services and Field Services operating segments, Oil Re-refining and Recycling, SK Environmental Services, Lodging Services and Oil and Gas Field Services. The prior year segment information has been recast to conform to the current year presentation.

Third party revenue is revenue billed to outside customers by a particular segment. Direct revenue is revenue allocated to the segment performing the provided service. Intersegment revenues represent the sharing of third party revenues among the segments based on products and services provided by each segment as if the products and services were sold directly to the third party. The intersegment revenues are shown net. The negative intersegment revenues are due to more transfers out of customer revenues to other segments than transfers in of customer revenues from other segments. The operations not managed through the Company’s
six
reportable segments are recorded as “Corporate Items.” Corporate Items revenues consist of
two
different operations for which the revenues are insignificant. Corporate Items cost of revenues represents certain central services that are not allocated to the
six
segments for internal reporting purposes. Corporate Items selling, general and administrative expenses include typical corporate items such as legal, accounting and other items of a general corporate nature that are not allocated to the Company’s
six
reportable segments. Performance of the segments is evaluated on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is “Adjusted EBITDA,” which consists of net income plus accretion of environmental liabilities, depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, provision for income taxes and pre-tax, non-cash acquisition accounting adjustments. Also excluded is other income as it is not considered part of usual business operations. Transactions between the segments are accounted for at the Company’s estimate based on similar transactions with outside customers.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which are generally identifiable by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans to,” “estimates,” “projects,” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2014, under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” included in Part II—Other Information in this report, and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.
Highlights
Total revenues in the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
was
$858.5 million
and
$1.71 billion
, respectively, compared with
$860.5 million
and
$1.72 billion
in the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2013
, respectively. These decreases in total revenues were primarily attributable to the effects of foreign currency translation which reduced revenue by approximately 2% in the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
partially offset by incremental revenues generated from the operations acquired as part of the September 2013 acquisition of Evergreen Oil, Inc. ("Evergreen"). Changes in segment revenues are more fully described in our Segment Performance section below under the heading
"Direct Revenues."
Income from operations in the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
was
$67.1 million
and
$97.0 million
, respectively, compared with
$53.2 million
and
$88.1 million
in the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2013
, respectively. Increases in income from operations were primarily due to cost savings generated from corporate initiatives implemented in 2014 across several expense categories. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended
June 30, 2014
increased
9.9%
to
$135.8 million
from
$123.6 million
in the three months ended
June 30, 2013
and
increased
1.3%
to
$237.8 million
in the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from
$234.8 million
in the
six
months ended
June 30, 2013
. Additional information, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, appears below under the heading
"Adjusted EBITDA."
Acquisitions
On September 13, 2013, we acquired
100%
of the outstanding common shares of Evergreen for a final purchase price of
$56.3 million
in cash, net of cash acquired. Evergreen, headquartered in Irvine, California, specializes in the recovery and re-refining of used oil. Evergreen owns and operates
one
of the only oil re-refining operations in the western United States and also offers other ancillary environmental services, including parts cleaning and containerized waste services, vacuum services and hazardous waste management services. The acquisition of Evergreen enables us to further penetrate the small quantity waste generator market and further expand its oil re-refining, oil recycling and waste treatment capabilities. Financial information and results of Evergreen have been recorded in our consolidated financial statements since acquisition and are primarily included in the Oil Re-refining and Recycling segment.
On May 30, 2014, the Company acquired certain assets of a privately owned U.S. company which provides carbon treatment systems and rental remediation equipment. The purchase price for the acquisition was $6.1 million and is subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments based upon finalized working capital amounts. The acquired company has been integrated into the Technical Services segment.

a decrease

$1.9 million
, compared to
December 31, 2013
primarily due to expenditures and changes in estimates recorded to the statement of income partially offset by accretion.

Table of Contents
We anticipate our environmental liabilities, substantially all of which we assumed in connection with our acquisitions, will be payable over many years and that cash flow from operations will generally be sufficient to fund the payment of such liabilities when required. However, events not anticipated (such as future changes in environmental laws and regulations) could require that such payments be made earlier or in greater amounts than currently anticipated, which could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
In the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
, the net reduction in our environmental liabilities from changes in estimates recorded as a benefit within the statement of income was
$1.4 million
and primarily related to estimated cost adjustments for remediation across various sites.

During the second quarter of 2014, we made changes to the manner in which we manage our business, make operating decisions and assess performance. These changes included the reassignment of certain departments among our operating segments in line with management reporting changes as well as the identification of Lodging Services as an additional segment. Under the new structure, our operations are managed in six reportable segments: Technical Services, Industrial and Field Services, Oil Re-refining and Recycling, SK Environmental Services, Lodging Services and Oil and Gas Field Services. The following discussion and related prior year segment information has been recast to conform to the current year presentation.
Performance of our segments is evaluated on several factors of which the primary financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA. The following tables set forth certain operating data associated with our results of operations and summarize Adjusted EBITDA contribution by reportable segment for the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
and
2013
(in thousands).

Table of Contents
Direct Revenues
There are many factors which have impacted, and continue to impact, our revenues. These factors include, but are not limited to: foreign currency translation, acquisitions, the general conditions of the oil and gas industries, competitive industry pricing, the effects of fuel prices on our fuel recovery fees, and the level of emergency response projects.
Technical Services revenues
increased
$14.3 million
and
$29.7 million
in the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
primarily due to growth in our treatment, storage and disposal network as a result of greater drum volumes and overall utilization. The utilization rate at our incinerators was 95.0% and 91.0% for the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
, respectively, compared with 92.3% and 88.9% in the comparable period of
2013
, and our landfill volumes increased by approximately 5.1% in
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable period in
2013
.
Industrial and Field Services revenues
decreased
$12.3 million
and
$17.8 million
in the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
. The decrease was primarily due to decreased activity in the oil sands region, cyclicality of scheduled plant turnarounds and the effects of foreign currency translation.
Oil Re-refining and Recycling revenues
increased
$14.4 million
, in the
three
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable period in
2013
. The increase was primarily due to increased volumes resulting from our acquisition of Evergreen on September 13, 2013. Oil Re-refining and Recycling revenues
increased
$5.2 million
, in the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable period in
2013
also primarily due to increased volumes resulting from of our acquisition of Evergreen partially offset by lower sales mix between base oils and higher priced blended oils. In addition, revenues were negatively impacted as compared to the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2013
by the effects of foreign currency translation.
SK Environmental Services revenues
decreased
$4.1 million
and
$17.6 million
in the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
primarily due to system integration changes which occurred in May of 2013 and changed the manner by which waste is tracked across the Company’s disposal network and lower refined fuel oil sales period over period.
Lodging Services revenues
decreased
$4.2 million
and
$1.2 million
in the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
primarily due to lower occupancy at our lodging and camp facilities due to an overall slowdown in the levels of activity in the Oil Sands region of Canada and the effects of foreign currency translation.
Oil and Gas Field Services revenues
decreased
$10.4 million
and
$26.4 million
in the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
primarily due to project delays in exploration, pricing pressure in North America and the effects of foreign currency translation.
Corporate Items revenues during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2013
included the impact of purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue balances that did not reoccur in 2014.
Cost of Revenues
We believe that our ability to manage operating costs is important to our ability to remain price competitive. We continue to upgrade the quality and efficiency of our waste treatment services through the development of new technology and continued modifications at our facilities, and implementation of strategic sourcing initiatives.
Technical Services cost of revenues was flat in the
three
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable period in
2013
. Technical Services cost of revenues
increased
$10.9 million
, in the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable period in
2013
primarily due to increases in materials and supplies, outside transportation and utilities. Profit margins have improved due to overall mix of waste handled and greater operating efficiencies.
Industrial and Field Services cost of revenues
decreased
$7.8 million
and
$15.4 million
in the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
primarily due to decreased revenues in both periods.
Oil Re-refining and Recycling cost of revenues
increased
$11.7 million
and
$7.5 million
in the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
primarily due to the cost of the incremental revenue from our acquisition of Evergreen on September 13, 2013.
SK Environmental Services cost of revenues
decreased
$0.6 million
and
$9.5 million
in the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
from the comparable periods in
2013
primarily due to system changes which occurred in May of 2013 and impacted how intercompany disposal charges are recorded between the SK Environmental Services segment and the Technical Services segment and lower refined fuel oil sales period over period.

Lodging cost of revenues
increased
$6.7 million
, in the
six

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)
Management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be a measurement of performance which provides useful information to both management and investors. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income or other measurements under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies, therefore our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We use Adjusted EBITDA to enhance our understanding of our operating performance, which represents our views concerning our performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of our operations. We historically have found it helpful, and believe that investors have found it helpful, to consider an operating measure that excludes certain expenses relating to transactions not reflective of our core operations.
The information about our operating performance provided by this financial measure is used by our management for a variety of purposes. We regularly communicate Adjusted EBITDA results to our lenders and to our board of directors and discuss with the board our interpretation of such results. We also compare our Adjusted EBITDA performance against internal targets as a key factor in determining cash bonus compensation for executives and other employees, largely because we believe that this measure is indicative of the how the fundamental business is performing and is being managed.
We also provide information relating to our Adjusted EBITDA so that analysts, investors and other interested persons have the same data that we use to assess our core operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed only as a supplement to the GAAP financial information. We also believe, however, that providing this information in addition to, and together with, GAAP financial information permits the foregoing persons to obtain a better understanding of our core operating performance and to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance on a standalone and a comparative basis.

2013
. The increase is a result of a combination of increased income, the recording of an audit settlement and an increase in the effective rate driven by a greater percentage of taxable earnings being generated in the U.S. versus Canada as compared to 2013.
Income tax expense for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
increased
$6.6 million
as compared to the comparable period in
2013
. The increase is a result of a combination of increased income, the recording of an audit settlement and an increase in the effective rate driven by a greater percentage of taxable earnings being generated in the U.S. versus Canada as compared to 2013 as well as the release of an unrecognized tax benefit recorded in 2013.
A valuation allowance is required to be established when, based on an evaluation of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At
June 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, we had a remaining valuation allowance of
$28.6 million
and
$29.7 million
, respectively. The allowance as of
June 30, 2014
consisted of
$13.4 million
of foreign tax credits,
$5.9 million
of state net operating loss carryforwards,
$7.5 million
of foreign net operating loss carryforwards and
$1.8 million
for the deferred tax assets of a Canadian subsidiary. The allowance as of
December 31, 2013
consisted of

,
a decrease
of
16.5%
, or
$22.7 million
, compared with net cash from operating activities for the comparable period in
2013
. The change was primarily the result of a net increase in working capital driven by the payment of liabilities existing at the beginning of the period.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
was
$131.3 million
,
a decrease
of
7.2%
compared with
$141.4 million
of cash used in investing activities for the comparable period in
2013
. The change was primarily the result of decreases in capital expenditures and proceeds received from the sale of marketable securities offset by cash paid for an acquisition.
Net cash from financing activities
Net cash from financing activities for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
was an outflow of
$14.9 million
, compared to net inflows of cash from financing activities of
$40.0 million
for the comparable period in
2013
. The change in net cash from financing activities during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
was primarily due to a decrease in uncashed checks as of
June 30, 2014
combined with repurchases of common stock made in the first
six
months of 2014 and repayment of long term obligations.
Working Capital
We intend to use our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations primarily to provide for our working capital needs and to fund capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions. We anticipate that our operating cash flow will provide the necessary funds on both a short- and long-term basis to meet operating cash requirements.
At
June 30, 2014
, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$278.6 million
, compared to
$310.1 million
at
December 31, 2013
. At
June 30, 2014
, cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries totaled
$83.8 million
and were readily convertible into other
32
Table of Contents
foreign currencies including U.S. dollars. At
June 30, 2014
, the cash and cash equivalent balances for our U.S. operations were
$194.8 million
. Our U.S. operations had net operating cash from operations of
$51.9 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2014
. Additionally, we have available a $400.0 million revolving credit facility of which
$287.8 million
was available to borrow at
June 30, 2014
. Based on the above and on our current plans, we believe that our U.S. operations have adequate financial resources to satisfy their liquidity needs without being required to repatriate earnings from foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, although repatriation to the U.S. of foreign earnings would generally be subject to U.S. income taxation, net of any available foreign tax credits, we have not recorded any deferred tax liability related to such repatriation since we intend to permanently reinvest foreign earnings outside the U.S.
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. Our primary ongoing cash requirements will be to fund operations, capital expenditures, interest payments and investments in line with our business strategy. We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating and investing cash needs as well as any cash needs relating to the stock repurchase program. Furthermore, the existing cash balances and the availability of additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility provide potential sources of liquidity should they be required.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
On February 25, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150 million of our common stock. We intend to fund the repurchases through available cash resources. The repurchase program authorizes us to purchase our common stock on the open market from time to time. The share repurchases will be made in a manner that complies with applicable U.S. securities laws. The number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, cash required for future business plans, trading volume and other conditions. We have no obligation to repurchase stock under this program and may suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time. As of
June 30, 2014
, we had repurchased and retired a total of approximately
273,000
shares of our common stock for approximately
$16.2 million
under this program. As of
June 30, 2014
, an additional
$133.8 million
remains available for repurchase of shares under the current authorized program.
Financing Arrangements
The financing arrangements and principal terms of our $800.0 million principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2020 and $595.0 million principal amount of 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021 which were outstanding at
June 30, 2014
, and our $400.0 million revolving credit facility, are discussed further in Note 10, “Financing Arrangements,” to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2013
.
As of
June 30, 2014
, we were in compliance with the covenants of all of our debt agreements, and we believe it is reasonably likely that we will continue to meet such covenants.
Capital Expenditures
We anticipate that 2014 capital spending will be approximately $250 million, which includes our incinerator project in El Dorado. However, changes in environmental regulations could require us to make significant capital expenditures for our facilities and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Other than described below there were no material changes in the first
six
months of 2014 to the information provided under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2013
.
Goodwill.
Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually as of
December 31,
or when events or changes in the business environment would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a more detailed analysis is performed to determine if goodwill is impaired. The loss, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied value of the goodwill.
We determine our reporting units by identifying the components of each operating segment, and then aggregate components having similar economic characteristics based on quantitative and / or qualitative factors. At
June 30, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, we had seven reporting units. The Technical Services, Industrial Services, Field Services, Oil Re-refining and Recycling, SK Environmental Services, Lodging Services and Oil and Gas Field Services operating segments each constitute a reporting unit.
We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill for all of our reporting units as of
December 31, 2013
and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill for any reporting unit was necessary because the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values.
33
Table of Contents
The fair value of the Oil Re-refining and Recycling reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by less than
10%
at
December 31, 2013
. During the first
six
months of fiscal
2014
the reporting unit has experienced lower than anticipated financial results primarily due to lower sales mix between base oils and higher priced blended oils as well as higher utilities and shutdown related costs. The lower sales prices reflected general economic conditions in the oil industry during the period. The financial performance of this reporting unit, which had a goodwill balance of approximately
$174.7 million
at
June 30, 2014
, is affected by fluctuations in oil prices, overall market supply of refined oil and sales mix. In the future, if market factors were to lead to significant declines in the reporting units overall pricing, impairments could arise.
The fair value of the Oil and Gas Field Services reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by more than
10%
at
December 31, 2013
. The financial performance of this reporting unit, which had a goodwill balance of approximately
$36.4 million
at
June 30, 2014
, was affected in the first
six
months ended June 30, 2014 by pricing pressure and lower levels of overall activity in the markets and regions that the business serves. The Oil and Gas Field Services reporting unit is seasonal with the second quarter of the fiscal year historically being the period with the lowest earnings levels.
Significant judgments are inherent in the annual impairment tests performed and include assumptions about the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, growth rates, and the determination of appropriate discount rates. We believe that the assumptions used in our impairment analysis are reasonable, but variations in any of the assumptions may result in different calculations of fair values that could result in a material impairment charge. The annual impairment test performed during the year ended
December 31, 2013
utilized future annual budgeted amounts and discount rate assumptions based on an assessment of our weighted average cost of capital as well as other significant assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time.
During the interim periods of fiscal year
2014
and with respect to the Oil Re-Refining and Recycling and Oil and Gas Field Services reporting units, we considered whether (i) the lower than anticipated results (ii) general economic and industry conditions, and (iii) reporting unit specific factors would more likely than not reduce the estimated fair values of our reporting units below their carrying values. We have not performed an interim test for impairment of goodwill for any of our reporting units as it does not believe the factors impacting the performance of the reporting units through
June 30, 2014
would more likely than not reduce the fair value below carrying value.
The performance of the Oil Re-Refining and Recycling and Oil and Gas Field Services reporting units will continue to be monitored. If these reporting units do not achieve the financial performance that the Company expects, it is possible that a goodwill impairment charge may result. There can be no assurance that future events will not result in an impairment of goodwill
