NOTE 1 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. References to the “Company,” “EMCOR,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar words refer to EMCOR Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. Readers of this report should refer to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The results of operations for all periods presented reflect discontinued operations accounting due to the sale of our entire stock interest in our Canadian subsidiary on August 2, 2011.

Reclassification of prior year data has been made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements where appropriate to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 2 New Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2011, we adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updating existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. This guidance eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the consideration attributed to the delivered item. This may allow some companies to recognize revenue on transactions that involve multiple deliverables earlier than under previous requirements. We have determined that the adoption of the pronouncement did not have any effect on our financial position and/or results of operations, and we will review new and/or modified revenue arrangements after the adoption date to ensure compliance with this update.

On January 1, 2011, we adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB updating existing guidance on business combinations, which clarifies that if comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. We will consider the guidance in conjunction with future acquisitions.

On January 1, 2011, we adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB updating existing guidance, which modifies the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed if it appears more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. To make that determination, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. We will consider the guidance in conjunction with our future goodwill impairment testing.

In June 2011, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update existing guidance on comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income, which is our current presentation. It requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two statement approach, the first statement should present total net

NOTE 2 New Accounting Pronouncements – (continued)

 

income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income. This pronouncement is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, but early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have any effect on our financial condition or results of operations, though it will change our financial statement presentation.

In September 2011, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update the disclosure requirements of an employer which participates in multiemployer pension plans. This new pronouncement will require the disclosure of: (a) the amount of employer contributions made to each significant plan and to all plans in the aggregate; (b) an indication of whether the employer’s contributions represent more than five percent of the total contributions to the plan; (c) an indication of which plans, if any, are subject to a funding improvement plan; (d) the expiration date(s) of collective bargaining agreement(s) and any minimum funding arrangements; (e) the most recent funded status of the plan; and (f) a description of the nature and effect of any changes affecting comparability for each period in which a statement of operations is presented. The enhanced disclosures will be required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have any effect on our financial condition or results of operations, though it will require enhanced disclosures in our notes to consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to simplify how a company is required to test goodwill for impairment. Companies will now have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We have not determined whether we will follow this guidance in our future impairment testing.

NOTE 3 Acquisitions of Businesses

On June 30, 2011, we completed the acquisition of USM Services Holdings, Inc. (“USM”) from Transfield Services Limited. USM is a leading provider of facilities maintenance solutions in North America and is based in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100% of USM’s stock for total consideration of $255.0 million, utilizing our cash on hand, subject to a working capital adjustment. This acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. We acquired working capital of $8.4 million and other net liabilities of $21.3 million, and have preliminarily ascribed $133.5 million to goodwill and $134.4 million to identifiable intangible assets in connection with this acquisition, which has been included in our United States facilities services segment. According to certain provisions of the stock purchase agreement, we are to be indemnified for certain costs. We have not yet completed the final allocation of the purchase price related to the USM acquisition. As we finalize the purchase price allocation, it is anticipated that additional purchase price adjustments will be recorded relating to finalization of intangible asset valuations, tax matters and other items. Such adjustments will be recorded during the measurement period. The finalization of the purchase price accounting assessment will result in changes in the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired.

In connection with this acquisition, we incurred approximately $0.1 million and $4.6 million of transaction related expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, which have been classified as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 3 Acquisitions of Businesses – (continued)

 

USM is a leading provider of essential facilities maintenance services, including interior and exterior services and electrical, mechanical and plumbing services, to national and regional commercial customers that typically maintain over 100 sites across wide geographic areas. USM services these customers through its highly-developed proprietary network of over 11,000 service partners.

We acquired USM because we believe that it further strengthens our market position in facilities and maintenance services and provides access to new customers for a range of services that we provide. Additionally, we believe that over the next two years we will be able to generate certain operating synergies with our existing facilities services operations.

In addition, on January 31, 2011, we acquired a company, and in 2010, we acquired two companies, none of which were material. The 2011 acquisition primarily provides mechanical construction services and has been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. The 2010 acquisitions provide mobile mechanical services and government infrastructure contracting services and have been included in our United States facilities services reporting segment. We believe these acquisitions further expand our service capabilities into new geographical and/or technical areas.

During the first quarter of 2011, we finalized the purchase price allocation and the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets of a company acquired in 2010, resulting in an immaterial adjustment to the value of the related goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. The three acquired companies referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph were accounted for by the acquisition method, and the prices paid for them have been allocated to their respective assets and liabilities, based upon the estimated fair values of their respective assets and liabilities at the dates of their respective acquisitions.

NOTE 4 Disposition of Assets

Results of our Canadian operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations.

On August 2, 2011, we sold our entire stock interest in our Canadian subsidiary, which represents our Canada construction segment, to a group of investors, including members of its management team. We received approximately $17.2 million in payment for the shares and expect to receive an additional $0.1 million. In addition, we also received approximately $26.4 million in repayment of indebtedness owed by our Canadian subsidiary to us. Proceeds from the sale of discontinued operation, net of cash sold, totaled $26.6 million. Included in the net income (loss) from discontinued operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was a gain on sale of $9.0 million (net of income tax provision of $2.9 million) resulting from the sale of the subsidiary. (Loss) income from discontinued operation includes income tax provision (benefits) of $0.4 million and $(3.2) million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $(0.3) million and $(0.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The gain on sale of discontinued operation includes $15.5 million related to amounts previously reported in the foreign translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

NOTE 7 Investments, Notes and Other Long-Term Receivables

On January 8, 2010, a venture in which one of our subsidiaries had a 40% interest and which designs, constructs, owns, operates, leases and maintains facilities to produce chilled water for sale to customers for use in air conditioning commercial properties was sold to a third party. As a result of this sale, we received $17.7 million for our 40% interest and recognized a pretax gain of $4.5 million, which gain is included in our United States facilities services segment and classified as a component of “Cost of sales” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On June 7, 2010, we sold our equity interest in a Middle East venture, which performed facilities services, to our partner in the venture. As a result of this sale, we received $7.9 million and recognized a pretax gain in this amount, which is classified as a “Gain on sale of equity investment” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

There may be contingent payments associated with the future performance of certain acquired entities, which may result in an increase to goodwill. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, pursuant to the purchase method of accounting, we recorded an aggregate of $1.6 million, by reason of earn-out obligations in respect of a prior acquisition, which increased goodwill associated with this acquisition.

Credit Facilities

Until February 4, 2010, we had a revolving credit facility (the “Old Revolving Credit Facility”) as amended, which provided for a credit facility of $375.0 million. Effective February 4, 2010, we replaced the Old Revolving Credit Facility that was due to expire October 17, 2010 with an amended and restated $550.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2010 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2013. It permits us to increase our borrowing to $650.0 million if additional lenders are identified and/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments. We may allocate up to $175.0 million of the borrowing capacity under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility to letters of credit, which amount compares to $125.0 million under the Old Revolving Credit Facility. The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of our assets and most of the assets of most of our subsidiaries. The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants requiring, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness and capital expenditures. A commitment fee of 0.5% is payable on the average daily unused amount of the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (3.25% at September 30, 2011) plus 1.75% to 2.25%, based on certain financial tests or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.24% at September 30, 2011) plus 2.75% to 3.25%, based on certain financial tests. The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2011 was 2.99%. Letter of credit fees issued under this facility range from 2.75% to 3.25% of the respective face amounts of the letters of credit issued and are charged based on certain financial tests. We capitalized approximately $6.0 million of debt issuance costs associated with the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility. This amount is being amortized over the life of the facility and is included as part of interest expense. In connection with the termination of the Old Revolving Credit Facility, less than $0.1 million was attributable to the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs and was recorded as part of interest expense. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had approximately $78.6 million and $82.4 million of letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We have borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2011, which may remain outstanding at our discretion until the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility expires.

Term Loan

On September 19, 2007, we entered into an agreement providing for a $300.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to pay a portion of the consideration for an acquisition and costs and expenses incident thereto. In connection with the closing of the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility, we borrowed $150.0 million under this facility and used the proceeds along with cash on hand to prepay on February 4, 2010 all indebtedness outstanding under the Term Loan. In connection with this prepayment, $0.6 million was attributable to the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan and was recorded as part of interest expense.

NOTE 10 Derivative Instrument and Hedging Activity

On January 27, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”), which hedges the interest rate risk on our variable rate debt. The Swap Agreement matured on October 20, 2010 and was used to manage the variable interest rate of our borrowings and related overall cost of borrowing. We mitigated the risk of counterparty nonperformance by choosing as our counterparty a major reputable financial institution with an investment grade credit rating.

The derivative was recognized as either an asset or liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with measurement at fair value, and changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument were reported in either net income, included as part of interest expense, or other comprehensive income, depending on the designated use of the derivative and whether or not it met the criteria for hedge accounting. The fair value of this instrument reflected the net amount required to settle the position. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes in fair value of the derivative and the related effects on the condensed consolidated financial statements was subject to their hedge designation and whether they met effectiveness standards.

We paid a fixed rate on the Swap Agreement of 2.225% and received a floating rate of 30 day LIBOR on the notional amount. A portion of the interest rate swap had been designated as an effective cash flow hedge, whereby changes in the cash flows from the swap perfectly offset the changes in the cash flows associated with the floating rate of interest (see Note 9, “Debt”). The fair value of the interest rate swap at September 30, 2010 was a net liability of $0.1 million. This liability reflected the interest rate swap’s termination value as the credit value adjustment for counterparty nonperformance was immaterial. We had no obligation to post any collateral related to this derivative. The fair value of the interest rate swap was based upon the valuation technique known as the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows. The variable cash flows were based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable interest rate curves. In addition, we had incorporated a credit valuation adjustment into our calculation of fair value of the interest rate swap. This adjustment recognized both our nonperformance risk and the counterparty’s nonperformance risk. The net liability was included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2010 included the accumulated loss, net of income taxes, on the cash flow hedge, of $0.04 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $0.02 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of income associated with the ineffective portion of the interest rate swap as part of interest expense.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no derivatives and/or hedging instruments outstanding.

NOTE 11 Fair Value Measurements

We use a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets, is comprised of the following three levels:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs. Level 2 inputs would typically include quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the measurement and unobservable.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $383.5 million and $623.4 million, respectively, in money market funds, included within Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which are Level 1 assets.

NOTE 11 Fair Value Measurements – (continued)

 

We believe that the carrying values of our financial instruments, which include accounts receivable and other financing commitments, approximate their fair values due primarily to their short-term maturities and low risk of counterparty default. The carrying value of our borrowings under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility approximates the fair value due to the variable rate on such debt.

We measured the fair value of our derivative instrument on a recurring basis. At September 30, 2010, the $0.1 million fair value of the interest rate swap was determined using Level 2 inputs. There were no derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

NOTE 12 Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our income tax provisions on income from continuing operations before income taxes were $21.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, based on effective income tax rates, before discrete items and the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges in 2010, of 38.6% and 37.8%, respectively. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations before income taxes, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, inclusive of discrete items and the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges in 2010, were 39.4% and 0.5%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our income tax provisions on income from continuing operations before income taxes were $54.0 million and $27.7 million, respectively, based on an effective income tax rate, before discrete items and the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges in 2010, of 38.6% and 37.8%, respectively. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations before income taxes, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, inclusive of discrete items and the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges in 2010, were 38.7% and 27.8%, respectively. The increase in the 2011 income tax provisions on income from continuing operations before income taxes for both periods was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes, the effect of a change in the United Kingdom statutory tax rate and a change in the allocation of earnings among various jurisdictions. The 2010 effective income tax rates were impacted by the non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill, as substantially all of this charge was not deductible for tax purposes.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits for each period was $5.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively (of which $3.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective income tax rate).

We recognized interest expense related to unrecognized income tax benefits in the income tax provision. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had approximately $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of accrued interest related to unrecognized income tax benefits included as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest expense was reversed. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $0.1 million of interest expense was recognized.

It is possible that approximately $0.5 million of unrecognized income tax benefits at September 30, 2011, primarily relating to uncertain tax positions attributable to compensation related accruals, will become recognized income tax benefits in the next twelve months due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.

We file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination by various states for the years 2006 through 2009. We are still subject to audit of our federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for the years 2008 through 2010.

NOTE 13 Common Stock

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 66,992,150 and 66,660,551 shares of our common stock were outstanding, respectively.

NOTE 13 Common Stock – (continued)

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 104,261 and 82,708 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued upon the exercise of stock options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 312,136 and 219,049 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued upon the exercise of stock options, upon the satisfaction of required conditions under certain of our share-based compensation plans and upon the grants of shares of common stock.

On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable on October 25, 2011, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 11, 2011. The dividend payable aggregated approximately $3.4 million, which is included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” with an offset to “Retained Earnings” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Board of Directors also authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The repurchase program will be funded from the Company’s internal funds.

NOTE 14 Retirement Plans

Our United Kingdom subsidiary has a defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees (the “UK Plan”); however, no individual joining the company after October 31, 2001 may participate in the UK Plan. On May 31, 2010, we curtailed the future accrual of benefits for active employees under this plan. As a result of this curtailment, we recognized a reduction of the projected benefit obligation and recorded a curtailment gain of $6.4 million, which will be amortized in the future through net periodic pension cost. This defined benefit pension plan was replaced by a defined contribution plan.

Components of Net Periodic Pension Benefit Cost

The components of net periodic pension benefit cost of the UK Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 15 Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

In our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we continued to report a claim made in an arbitration proceeding on March 14, 2003 by John Mowlem Construction plc (“Mowlem”) against our United Kingdom subsidiary, EMCOR Group (UK) plc (“EMCOR UK”), in connection with a subcontract EMCOR UK entered into with Mowlem with respect to a project for the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence. In the arbitration proceeding, Mowlem sought damages from EMCOR UK of approximately 38.5 million British pounds sterling (approximately $61.8 million) arising out of the electrical and mechanical engineering services EMCOR UK provided for the project. In that proceeding, EMCOR UK asserted a counterclaim for approximately 11.6 million British pounds sterling (approximately $18.6 million) for certain design, labor, and delay and disruption costs incurred by EMCOR UK in connection with the subcontract with Mowlem. On March 31, 2011, EMCOR UK, Mowlem, and Mowlem’s successors in interest settled all claims arising out of this matter, discontinued all related proceedings, and executed mutual releases.

NOTE 16 Segment Information

We have the following reportable segments which provide services associated with the design, integration, installation, start-up, operation and maintenance of various systems: (a) United States electrical construction and facilities services (involving systems for electrical power transmission and distribution; premises electrical and lighting systems; low-voltage systems, such as fire alarm, security and process control; voice and data communication; roadway and transit lighting; and fiber optic lines); (b) United States mechanical construction and facilities services (involving systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation; fire protection; plumbing, process and high-purity piping; water and wastewater treatment and central plant heating and cooling); (c) United States facilities services; (d) United Kingdom construction and facilities services; and (e) Other international construction and facilities services. The segment “United States facilities services” principally consists of those operations which provide a portfolio of services needed to support the operation and maintenance of customers’ facilities (industrial maintenance and services; outage services to utilities and industrial plants; commercial and government site-based operations and maintenance; military base operations support services; mobile maintenance and services; interior floor care and janitorial services; exterior landscaping, lot sweeping and snow removal; facilities management; installation and support for building systems; program development, management and maintenance for energy systems; technical consulting and diagnostic services; infrastructure and building projects for federal, state and local governmental agencies and bodies; small modification and retrofit projects; and retrofit projects to comply with clean air laws), which services are not generally related to customers’ construction programs, as well as industrial services operations, which primarily provide aftermarket maintenance and repair services, replacement parts and fabrication services for highly engineered shell and tube heat exchangers for refineries and the petrochemical industry. The United Kingdom and Other international construction and facilities services segments perform electrical construction, mechanical construction and facilities services. On August 2, 2011, we sold our Canadian subsidiary, which represented our Canada construction segment and which performed electrical construction and mechanical construction. Our “Other international construction and facilities services” segment consisted of our equity interest in a Middle East venture, which interest we sold in June 2010.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

We are one of the largest electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services firms in the United States, the United Kingdom and in the world. We provide services to a broad range of commercial, industrial, utility and institutional customers through over 70 operating subsidiaries and joint venture entities. Our offices are located in the United States and the United Kingdom. In Canada, we previously carried on business through a subsidiary, which we sold in August 2011, and in the Middle East, we previously carried on a business through a venture, which we sold in June 2010.

The results of operations for all periods presented reflect: (a) discontinued operations accounting, due to the sale of our entire stock interest in our Canadian subsidiary on August 2, 2011, and (b) certain reclassifications of prior period amounts to conform to current year presentation.

Overview

The following table presents selected financial data for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except percentages and per share data):

The increase in revenues for the 2011 third quarter, when compared to the prior year’s third quarter, was primarily attributable to: (a) revenues of $145.4 million attributable to companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, (b) higher revenues within our United States facilities services and United States mechanical construction and facilities services segments (excluding companies acquired in 2011 and 2010) and (c) higher revenues within our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment. This increase in revenues was partially offset by a decrease in revenues from our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment.

The increase in operating income and operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, is primarily attributable to: (a) the recognition of a $226.2 million non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge, operating income decreased slightly due to lower operating income from our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, which benefited in 2010 from the favorable resolution of uncertainties on certain construction projects at or nearing completion. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in operating income from: (a) our United States facilities services and our United States mechanical construction and facilities segments (excluding companies acquired in 2011 and 2010) and (b) companies acquired in 2011 and 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $58.7 million, compared to $29.7 million of net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was primarily due to a reduction in incentive compensation paid in 2011 compared to 2010 and a one-time supplemental contribution of $25.9 million to the United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan in the second quarter of 2010.

We completed the acquisition of two companies during 2011. On June 30, 2011, we acquired USM Services Holdings, Inc. (“USM”), which is a leading provider of facility maintenance services, and its results have been included in our United States facilities services segment since the date of its acquisition. The other company was acquired on January 31, 2011, which primarily provides mechanical construction services, and its results have been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment since the date of its acquisition. Both of these acquisitions expand our service capabilities into new geographical and technical areas and are not material to our results of operations for the periods presented.

On August 2, 2011, we sold our entire stock interest in our Canadian subsidiary, which represents our Canada construction segment, to a group of investors, including members of its management team. We received approximately $17.2 million in payment for the shares and expect to receive an additional $0.1 million. In addition, we also received approximately $26.4 million in repayment of indebtedness owed by our Canadian subsidiary to us. Net income from discontinued operation for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $8.4 million. Included in the net income from discontinued operation for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was a gain on sale of $9.0 million (net of income tax provision of $2.9 million) resulting from the sale of the subsidiary.

On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable on October 25, 2011, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 11, 2011. The dividend payable aggregated approximately $3.4 million, which is included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” with an offset to “Retained Earnings” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Board of Directors also authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The repurchase program will be funded from the Company’s internal funds.

Operating Segments

We have the following reportable segments which provide services associated with the design, integration, installation, start-up, operation and maintenance of various systems: (a) United States electrical construction and facilities services (involving systems for electrical power transmission and distribution; premises electrical and lighting systems; low-voltage systems, such as fire alarm, security and process control; voice and data communication; roadway and transit lighting; and fiber optic lines); (b) United States mechanical construction and facilities services (involving systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation; fire protection; plumbing, process and high-purity piping; water and wastewater treatment and central plant heating and cooling); (c) United States facilities services; (d) United Kingdom construction and facilities services; and (e) Other international construction and facilities services. The segment “United States facilities services” principally consists of those operations which provide a portfolio of services needed to support the operation and maintenance of customers’ facilities (industrial maintenance and services; outage services to utilities and industrial plants; commercial and government site-based operations and maintenance; military base operations support services; mobile maintenance and services; interior floor care and janitorial services; exterior landscaping, lot sweeping and snow removal; facilities management; installation and support for building systems; program development, management and maintenance for energy systems; technical consulting and diagnostic services; infrastructure and building projects for federal, state and local governmental agencies and bodies; small modification and retrofit projects; and retrofit projects to comply with clean air laws), which services are not generally related to customers’ construction programs, as well as industrial services operations, which primarily provide aftermarket maintenance and repair services, replacement parts and fabrication services for highly engineered shell and tube heat exchangers for refineries and the petrochemical industry. The United Kingdom and Other international construction and facilities services segments

perform electrical construction, mechanical construction and facilities services. On August 2, 2011, we sold our Canadian subsidiary, which represented our Canada construction segment and which performed electrical construction and mechanical construction. Our “Other international construction and facilities services” segment consisted of our equity interest in a Middle East venture, which interest we sold in June 2010.

As described below in more detail, our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased to $1.5 billion compared to $1.2 billion of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and our revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $4.1 billion compared to $3.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The overall increase was primarily attributable to revenues of $145.4 million and $289.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, generated by companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, which are reported within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services and our United States facilities services segments. The increase in revenues for both periods was also attributable to: (a) higher revenues from our United States facilities services segment, excluding acquisitions, particularly within our industrial services operations and (b) higher revenues from our United Kingdom operations.

Our backlog at September 30, 2011 was $3.54 billion compared to $2.88 billion of backlog at September 30, 2010, excluding backlog from our Canadian subsidiary. At December 31, 2010, our backlog was $3.11 billion, excluding backlog from our Canadian subsidiary. Backlog increases with awards of new contracts and decreases as

we perform work on existing contracts. The increase in backlog at September 30, 2011, compared to such backlog at September 30, 2010, was primarily attributable to $0.64 billion in backlog from the acquisition of three companies, two in 2011 and the other in 2010, which are included in our United States facilities services and United States mechanical construction and facilities services segments. Overall backlog increased year over year (excluding companies acquired in 2011 and 2010), primarily within our United States facilities services and United Kingdom construction and facilities services segments, partially offset by a slight decrease in the backlog of our United States construction segments. Backlog is not a term recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles; however, it is a common measurement used in our industry. Backlog includes unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts plus unrecognized revenues expected to be realized over the remaining term of facilities services contracts. However, if the remaining term of a facilities services contract exceeds 12 months, the unrecognized revenues attributable to such contract included in backlog are limited to only the next 12 months of revenues.

Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were $290.3 million and $865.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to revenues of $301.2 million and $848.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to lower levels of revenue from smaller quick turn projects during the period and lower revenues from hospitality and transportation construction projects. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenues from commercial and industrial construction projects. The increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to increased work on commercial, industrial, water and wastewater, and healthcare construction projects. The increase in revenues was partially offset by a decrease in revenues from hospitality construction projects, principally in the Las Vegas market, and transportation construction projects. We continue to exercise discipline in taking on projects in the current economic environment, and we accept work only when we believe it can be performed at a reasonable margin.

Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $516.6 million, an $85.1 million increase compared to revenues of $431.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Revenues of this segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $1,408.0 million, a $136.8 million increase compared to revenues of $1,271.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to revenues of approximately $54.9 million and $143.4 million, respectively, from a company acquired in 2011, which primarily provides mechanical construction services. Revenues from our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 (excluding the company acquired in 2011) also increased compared to the same period in 2010. This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in work on commercial and institutional construction projects, offset in part by a decrease in revenues from water and wastewater and healthcare construction projects. In comparing the nine month periods, the slight decrease in revenues from operations (excluding the company acquired in 2010) is attributable to lower revenues from institutional construction projects, partially offset by an increase in revenues from healthcare construction projects. This decrease is attributable to a very competitive market where there are numerous bidders for any given project and our selectivity in bidding on contracts.

Revenues of our United States facilities services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $161.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, and revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $339.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to: (a) revenues of approximately $90.5 million and $146.4 million, respectively, from companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, which perform facilities maintenance services and government infrastructure contracting services during both periods and in addition, mobile mechanical services during the nine month period, (b) revenues from our industrial services operations, which have seen an increase in demand for its turnaround work, specialty call-out work and shop services, (c) revenues from our government services operations (excluding the company acquired in 2010) and (d) revenues from the operations of our mobile mechanical services (excluding the company acquired in 2010), as a result of an increase in project and repair service work.

Revenues of our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment were $139.2 million and $384.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to revenues of $112.4 million and $334.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The increase in revenues for both periods was primarily attributable to its facilities services operations, principally in the commercial market, and increases of $4.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively, relating to the effect of favorable exchange rates for the British pound versus the United States dollar.

Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues

     12.7     14.1     12.7     13.9

Our gross profit increased by $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit increased by $27.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in gross profit for both periods was primarily attributable to: (a) companies acquired in 2011 and 2010 reported within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services and our United States facilities services segments, which contributed $14.4 million and $29.4 million to gross profit, net of amortization expense of $1.3 million and $3.9 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and (b) our United States facilities services segment due to our industrial services operations (excluding companies acquired in 2011 and 2010). In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2011 benefited from the favorable resolution of uncertainties associated with a hospitality construction project nearing completion in the Las Vegas market reported in our domestic construction segments. The overall increase was partially offset by: (a) a decline in gross profit from our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and (b) a decline in gross profit from our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (excluding the company acquired in 2011). In addition, gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was favorably impacted by: (a) the receipt of a termination fee pursuant to the terms of a contract in our United Kingdom operations and (b) an increase in gross profit by our energy services operations within our United States facilities services segment, primarily as a result of the recognition of a pretax gain of $4.5 million from the sale of our interest in a venture, which gain is classified as a component of “Cost of sales” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our gross profit margin was 12.7% and 14.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Gross profit margin was 12.7% and 13.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of lower gross profit margins experienced at all of our operating segments, other than our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which benefited from the resolution of the hospitality construction project uncertainties discussed above. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily attributable to lower margins on work procured in the current economic environment where there are numerous bidders on any given project and our current project mix, which contains more public projects which typically have lower margins compared to private projects.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $18.5 million to $131.8 million compared to $113.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $27.2 million to $370.2 million compared to $342.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 8.9% and 9.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 9.3% and 9.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for both periods was primarily attributable to $12.8 million and $24.0 million of expenses directly related to companies acquired in 2011 and 2010, including amortization expense of $3.2 million and $4.9 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Additionally, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was attributable to higher employment costs, such as incentive compensation, due to increased revenue and operating income levels. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was also attributable to approximately $4.6 million of USM acquisition related expenses incurred during the second and third quarters of 2011, partially offset by a decrease in employment costs (excluding companies acquired in 2011 and 2010), such as salaries, incentive compensation and employee benefits. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, primarily due to higher revenues on a lower selling, general and administrative expense base.

Restructuring expenses

Restructuring expenses were zero and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, which primarily related to employee severance obligations incurred at our corporate headquarters, compared to $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, which primarily related to employee severance obligations reported at our United States electrical construction and facilities services segments. As of September 30, 2011, the balance of our severance obligations yet to be paid was less than $0.1 million, which is expected to be paid in 2012.

Impairment loss on goodwill and identifiable intangible assets

During the third quarter of 2010 and prior to our October 1 annual impairment test, we recognized a $226.2 million non-cash impairment charge. Of this amount, $210.6 million related to goodwill and $15.6 million related to trade names. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a $19.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to trade names, resulting in a $246.1 million non-cash impairment charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The goodwill and trade names are reported within our United States facilities services segment. No impairment was recognized for either of the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2011.

As described below in more detail, operating income increased by $224.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $56.5 million compared to an operating loss of $168.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Operating income increased by $245.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $148.4 million compared to an operating loss of $97.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Excluding the impairment loss on goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010, would have decreased by $1.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Operating margin was 3.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to (13.8)% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and operating margin was 3.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to (2.7)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Operating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment was $17.1 million and $58.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to operating income of $25.4 million and $51.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily attributable to: (a) the fact that the 2010 period benefited from the favorable resolution of uncertainties on certain construction projects at or nearing completion and (b) a decrease in gross profit in the 2011 period from institutional and water and wastewater construction projects. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gross profit associated with commercial construction projects. The increase in operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of the favorable resolution of uncertainties associated with a hospitality construction project nearing completion in the Las Vegas market, as well as from an increase in gross profit from commercial and healthcare construction projects. In addition, operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 benefited from the favorable resolution of uncertainties on a completed institutional construction project. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in gross profit attributable to institutional and industrial construction projects. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2011, principally due to higher employee costs, such as salaries and employee benefits, while selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of a decrease in gross profit margin and an increase in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expense to revenues. The increase in operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of an increase in gross profit margin and a decrease in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expense to revenues.

Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $33.5 million, a $5.7 million increase compared to operating income of $27.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $79.5 million, a $2.7 million increase compared to operating income of $76.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to operating income of $3.7 million and $6.1 million, net of amortization expense of $0.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, from a company acquired in 2011, which primarily provides mechanical construction services. Additionally, the increase in operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was attributable to increased gross profit from healthcare, hospitality and institutional construction projects, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit from industrial construction projects. The decrease in operating income from our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (excluding the company acquired in 2011) was primarily due to lower gross profit from industrial, commercial and institutional construction projects, as a result of the current economic environment and our selectivity in bidding on contracts. This decline was partially offset by an increase in gross profit from hospitality construction projects, as a result of, among other things, the favorable resolution of uncertainties on a current project and the settlement of a long outstanding construction claim and from healthcare construction projects. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to reduced costs associated with employee benefits (excluding the company acquired in 2011). The decrease in operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of a reduction in gross profit margin.

Operating income of our United States facilities services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $3.9 million compared to operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This segment’s operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $0.3 million compared to operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in operating income for the both periods was primarily attributable to our industrial services operations, which have seen an increase in demand for its turnaround work, specialty call-out work and shop services, partially offset by operating losses of $2.1 million and $0.7 million, net of amortization expense of $3.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, from companies acquired in 2011 and 2010. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was partially offset by lower operating income from: (a) our mobile mechanical services operations (excluding the company acquired in 2010), as a result of lower margins on project work attributable to the competitive market as a result of the current economic environment and write-downs of several projects, the largest of which is attributable to difficult job site conditions, (b) our government site-based operations (excluding the company acquired in 2010) due to higher levels of government incentive funds received in 2010 and project start up costs in 2011 and (c) our commercial site-based operations due to the loss of several accounts. The first nine months of 2010 also benefited from the recognition of a pretax gain of $4.5 million from the sale of our interest in a venture, which is classified as a component of “Cost of sales” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in operating income from our industrial services operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased period over period (excluding companies acquired in 2011 and 2010), primarily due to increased employee costs, such as salaries and commissions, and an increase in amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets. The decrease in operating margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of a reduction in gross profit margin and the increase in amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets.

Operating income of our United Kingdom construction and facilities services segment was $1.8 million and $8.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to operating income of $1.8 million and $11.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The nine months ended September 30, 2010 benefited from: (a) the favorable gross profit associated with the receipt of a termination fee in the second quarter of 2010 pursuant to the terms of a contract and (b) the favorable resolution of uncertainties on a construction project at completion, partially offset by a decrease in the net periodic pension costs in 2011. The decrease in operating margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of a reduction in gross profit margin.

In June 2010, we sold our equity interest in a Middle East venture to our partner in the venture. The Other international construction and facilities services segment operating loss was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Our corporate administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $13.1 million compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our corporate administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $43.5 million compared to $37.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily a result of the reversal of certain incentive compensation associated with the non-cash impairment charge in the third quarter of 2010. The increase in expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to approximately $4.6 million of transaction costs associated with the acquisition of USM during the second and third quarters of 2011.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $8.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The reduction in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to lower interest rates. In addition, the reduction in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was due to the recognition in the first half of 2010 of an expense attributable to the acceleration of debt issuance costs associated with the early termination of a term loan and revolving credit facility. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.4 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.4 million compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in interest income for both periods was primarily related to lower interest rates on our invested cash balances and decreased cash available for investment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our income tax provisions on income from continuing operations before income taxes were $21.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, based on effective income tax rates, before discrete items and the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges in 2010, of 38.6% and 37.8%, respectively. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations before income taxes, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, inclusive of discrete items and the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges in 2010, were 39.4% and 0.5%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our income tax provisions on income from continuing operations before income taxes were $54.0 million and $27.7 million, respectively, based on an effective income tax rate, before discrete items and the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges in 2010, of 38.6% and 37.8%, respectively. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations before income taxes, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, inclusive of discrete items and the tax effect of non-cash impairment charges in 2010, were 38.7% and 27.8%, respectively. The increase in the 2011 income tax provisions on income from continuing operations before income taxes for both periods was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes, the effect of a change in the United Kingdom statutory tax rate and a change in the allocation of earnings among various jurisdictions. The 2010 effective income tax rates were impacted by the non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill, as substantially all of this charge was not deductible for tax purposes.

On August 2, 2011, we sold our entire stock interest in our Canadian subsidiary, which represents our Canada construction segment, to a group of investors, including members of its management team. We received approximately $17.2 million in payment for the shares and expect to receive an additional $0.1 million. In addition, we also received approximately $26.4 million in repayment of indebtedness owed by our Canadian subsidiary to us. Proceeds from the sale of discontinued operation, net of cash sold, totaled $26.6 million. Net income from discontinued operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $8.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Included in the net income from discontinued operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was a gain on sale of $9.0 million (net of income tax provision of $2.9 million) resulting from the sale of the subsidiary. The gain on sale of discontinued operation includes $15.5 million related to amounts previously reported in the foreign translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Our consolidated cash balance decreased by approximately $234.5 million from $710.8 million at December 31, 2010 to $476.4 million at September 30, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $58.7 million, compared to $29.7 million of net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was primarily due to a reduction in incentive compensation paid in 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 and a one-time supplemental contribution of $25.9 million to the United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan in the second quarter of 2010. Net cash used in investing activities of $294.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was primarily due to a $291.5 million increase in payments for acquisitions of businesses and a $25.6 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of equity investments. Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $50.5 million, was primarily attributable to repayment of our term loan and debt issuance costs, partially offset by borrowings under a new credit facility in the 2010.

(1)

We classify these borrowings as long-term on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because of our intent to repay the amounts on a long-term basis. These amounts are outstanding at our discretion and are not payable until the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2013. As of September 30, 2011, there were borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility.

(2)

Represents open purchase orders for material and subcontracting costs related to construction and service contracts. These purchase orders are not reflected in EMCOR’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and should not impact future cash flows, as amounts are expected to be recovered through customer billings.

(3)

Represents primarily insurance related liabilities and liabilities for deferred income taxes, incentive compensation and earn-out arrangements, classified as other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash payments for insurance related liabilities may be payable beyond three years, but it is not practical to estimate these payments. We provide funding to our defined benefit pension plans based on at least the minimum funding required by applicable regulations. In determining the minimum required funding, we utilize current actuarial assumptions and exchange rates to forecast estimates of amounts that may be payable for up to five years in the future. In our judgment, minimum funding estimates beyond a five year time horizon cannot be reliably estimated, and therefore, have not been included in the table.

Until February 4, 2010, we had a revolving credit facility (the “Old Revolving Credit Facility”) as amended, which provided for a credit facility of $375.0 million. Effective February 4, 2010, we replaced the Old Revolving Credit Facility that was due to expire October 17, 2010 with an amended and restated $550.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2010 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2013. It permits us to increase our borrowing to $650.0 million if additional lenders are identified and/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments. We may allocate up to $175.0 million of the borrowing capacity under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility to letters of credit, which amount compares to $125.0 million under the Old Revolving Credit Facility. The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of our assets and most of the assets of most of our subsidiaries. The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants requiring, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness and capital expenditures. A commitment fee of 0.5% is payable on the average daily unused amount of the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (3.25% at September 30, 2011) plus 1.75% to 2.25%, based on certain financial tests or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.24% at September 30, 2011) plus 2.75% to 3.25%, based on certain financial tests. The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2011 was 2.99%. Letter of credit fees issued under this facility range from 2.75% to 3.25% of the respective face amounts of the letters of credit issued and are charged based on certain financial tests. In connection with the termination of the Old Revolving Credit Facility, less than $0.1 million was attributable to the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs and was recorded as part of interest expense. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had approximately $78.6 million and $82.4 million of letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We have borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2011, which may remain outstanding at our discretion until the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility expires.

On September 19, 2007, we entered into an agreement providing for a $300.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to pay a portion of the consideration for an acquisition and costs and expenses incident thereto. In connection with the closing of the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility, we proceeded to borrow $150.0 million under this facility and used the proceeds along with cash on hand to prepay on February 4, 2010 all indebtedness outstanding under the Term Loan. In connection with this prepayment, $0.6 million was attributable to the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan and was recorded as part of interest expense.

On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable on October 25, 2011, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 11, 2011. The dividend payable aggregates approximately $3.4 million, which is included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” with an offset to “Retained Earnings” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Board of Directors also authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The repurchase program will be funded from the Company’s internal funds.

The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies (“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 September 30, 2011, based on our percentage-of-completion of our projects covered by Surety Bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, assuming defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was approximately $1.3 billion. The Surety Bonds are issued by Surety Companies in return for premiums, which vary depending on the size and type of bond.

In recent years, there has been a reduction in the aggregate Surety Bond issuance capacity of Surety Companies due to the economy and the regulatory environment. Consequently, the availability of Surety Bonds has become more limited and the terms upon which Surety Bonds are available have become more restrictive. We continually monitor our available limits of Surety Bonds and discuss with our current and other Surety Bond providers the amount of Surety Bonds that may be available to us based on our financial strength and the absence of any default by us on any Surety Bond issued on our behalf. However, if we experience changes in our bonding relationships or if there are further changes in the surety industry, we may seek to satisfy certain customer requests for Surety Bonds by posting other forms of collateral in lieu of Surety Bonds such as letters of credit or guarantees by EMCOR Group, Inc., by seeking to convince customers to forego the requirement for Surety Bonds, by increasing our activities in business segments that rarely require Surety Bonds such as the facilities services segment, and/or by refraining from bidding for certain projects that require Surety Bonds. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectuate alternatives to providing Surety Bonds to our customers or to obtain, on favorable terms, sufficient additional work that does not require Surety Bonds to replace projects requiring Surety Bonds that we may decide not to pursue. Accordingly, if we were to experience a reduction in the availability of Surety Bonds, we could experience a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

We do not have any other material financial guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed herein.

Our primary source of liquidity has been, and is expected to continue to be, cash generated by operating activities. We also maintain our 2010 Revolving Credit Facility that may be utilized, among other things, to meet short-term liquidity needs in the event cash generated by operating activities is insufficient or to enable us to seize opportunities to participate in joint ventures or to make acquisitions that may require access to cash on short notice or for any other reason. However, negative macroeconomic trends may have an adverse effect on liquidity. In addition to managing borrowings, our focus on the facilities services market is intended to provide an additional buffer against economic downturns inasmuch as a part of our facilities services business is characterized by annual and multi-year contracts that provide a more predictable stream of cash flow than the construction business. Short-term liquidity is also impacted by the type and length of construction contracts in place. During past economic downturns, there were typically fewer small discretionary projects from the private sector, and companies like us aggressively bid larger long-term infrastructure and public sector contracts. Performance of long duration contracts typically requires greater amounts of working capital. While we strive to maintain a net over-billed position with our customers, there can be no

Table of Contents

assurance that a net over-billed position can be maintained. Our net over-billings, defined as the balance sheet accounts “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” less “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, were $321.0 million and $368.4 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Long-term liquidity requirements can be expected to be met initially through cash generated from operating activities and our 2010 Revolving Credit Facility. Based upon our current credit ratings and financial position, we can reasonably expect to be able to incur long-term debt to fund acquisitions. Over the long term, our primary revenue risk factor continues to be the level of demand for non-residential construction services, which is influenced by macroeconomic trends including interest rates and governmental economic policy. In addition, our ability to perform work is critical to meeting long-term liquidity requirements.

We do not expect the disposition of our Canadian subsidiary to have a material impact on our future liquidity.

We believe that our current cash balances and our borrowing capacity available under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility or other forms of financing available to us through borrowings, combined with cash expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to provide our short-term and foreseeable long-term liquidity and meet our expected capital expenditure requirements. However, we are a party to lawsuits and other proceedings in which other parties seek to recover from us amounts ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $10.0 million. If we were required to pay damages in one or more such proceedings, such payments could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Certain Insurance Matters

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we utilized approximately $78.3 million and $82.2 million, respectively, of letters of credit obtained under our 2010 Revolving Credit Facility as collateral for our insurance obligations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We review new accounting standards to determine the expected financial impact, if any, that the adoption of such standards will have. As of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no new accounting standards that were projected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Refer to Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements”, for further information regarding new accounting standards.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We adopted three new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (see Note 2, “New Accounting Pronouncements”, for further information). We believe that some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of accounting policies that affect our financial condition and results of operations are the impact of changes in the estimates and judgments pertaining to: (a) revenue recognition from (i) long-term construction contracts for which the percentage-of-completion method of accounting is used and (ii) services contracts; (b) collectibility or valuation of accounts receivable; (c) insurance liabilities; (d) income taxes; and (e) goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition for Long-term Construction Contracts and Services Contracts

We believe our most critical accounting policy is revenue recognition from long-term construction contracts for which we use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Percentage-of-completion accounting is the prescribed method of accounting for long-term contracts in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”, and, accordingly, is the method used for revenue recognition within our industry. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Certain of our electrical contracting business units and our Canadian subsidiary measure percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract. Provisions for the entirety of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Application of percentage-of-completion accounting results in the recognition of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets arise when revenues have been recognized but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts also include amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Such amounts are recorded at estimated net realizable value and take into account factors that may affect our ability to bill unbilled revenues and collect amounts after billing. The profit associated with claim amounts is not recognized until the claim has been settled and payment has been received. Due to uncertainties inherent in estimates employed in applying percentage-of-completion accounting, estimates may be revised as project work progresses. Application of percentage-of-completion accounting requires that the impact of revised estimates be reported prospectively in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to revenue recognition for long-term construction contracts, we recognize revenues from the performance of facilities services for maintenance, repair and retrofit work consistent with the performance of services, which are generally on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contractual arrangement. Expenses related to all services arrangements are recognized as incurred. Revenues related to the engineering, manufacturing and repairing of shell and tube heat exchangers are recognized when the product is shipped and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Costs related to this work are included in inventory until the product is shipped. These costs include all direct material, labor and subcontracting costs and indirect costs related to performance such as supplies, tools and repairs.

Accounts Receivable

We are required to estimate the collectibility of accounts receivable. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of realization of receivables. Relevant assessment factors include the creditworthiness of the customer, our prior collection history with the customer and related aging of the past due balances. The provision for doubtful accounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $0.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our accounts receivable of $1,138.8 million and $1,090.9 million, respectively, included allowances for doubtful accounts of $16.1 million and $17.3 million, respectively. Specific accounts receivable are evaluated when we believe a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition or its credit ratings. The allowance for doubtful accounts requirements are based on the best facts available and are re-evaluated and adjusted on a regular basis as additional information is received.

Insurance Liabilities

We have loss payment deductibles for certain workers’ compensation, automobile liability, general liability and property claims, have self-insured retentions for certain other casualty claims and are self-insured for employee-related healthcare claims. Losses are recorded based upon estimates of our liability for claims incurred and for claims incurred but not reported. The liabilities are derived from known facts, historical trends and industry averages utilizing the assistance of an actuary to determine the best estimate for the majority of these obligations. We believe the liabilities recognized on our balance sheets for these obligations are adequate. However, such obligations are

difficult to assess and estimate due to numerous factors, including severity of injury, determination of liability in proportion to other parties, timely reporting of occurrences and effectiveness of safety and risk management programs. Therefore, if our actual experience differs from the assumptions and estimates used for recording the liabilities, adjustments may be required and will be recorded in the period that the experience becomes known.

Income Taxes

We had net deferred income tax liabilities at September 30, 2011 of $33.4 million and net deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2010 of $5.2 million, primarily resulting from differences between the carrying value and income tax basis of certain identifiable intangible assets and depreciable fixed assets, which will impact our taxable income in future periods. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred income tax asset will not be realized. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total valuation allowance on gross deferred income tax assets was approximately $3.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

As of September 30, 2011, we had $566.8 million and $380.6 million, respectively, of goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets (primarily consisting of our contract backlog, developed technology, customer relationships, non-competition agreements and trade names), primarily due to the acquisition of companies. As of December 31, 2010, goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets were $406.8 million and $245.1 million, respectively. The changes to goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets (net of accumulated amortization) since December 31, 2010 were related to: (a) the acquisition of two companies during the first half of 2011 and (b) the finalization of the purchase price accounting for an acquisition of a company during the fourth quarter of 2010. The determination of related estimated useful lives for identifiable intangible assets and whether those assets are impaired involves significant judgments based upon short and long-term projections of future performance. These forecasts reflect assumptions regarding the ability to successfully integrate acquired companies, as well as macroeconomic conditions. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead must be tested at least annually for impairment (which we test each October 1, absent any impairment indicators), and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.

We test for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level utilizing the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized a $210.6 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. No impairment of our goodwill was recognized for either of the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2011.

We also test for the impairment of trade names that are not subject to amortization by calculating the fair value using the “relief from royalty payments” methodology. This approach involves two steps: (a) estimating reasonable royalty rates for each trade name and (b) applying these royalty rates to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each trade name. If the carrying amount of the trade name is greater than the implied fair value of the trade name, an impairment in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to operations. As a result of the continued assessment of the fair value of trade names previously impaired in 2009 and the interim impairment testing performed during the second and third quarters of 2010, we recorded an additional $35.5 million non-cash impairment charge of trade names associated with certain prior acquisitions during 2010. These trade names are reported within our United States facilities services segment. No impairment of our trade names was recognized for either of the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2011.

In addition, we review for the impairment of other identifiable intangible assets that are being amortized whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable. This test compares their carrying values to the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If the assets are impaired, the assets are written down to their fair values, generally determined based on their future discounted cash flows. For either of the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, or for the year ended December 31, 2010, no impairment of our other identifiable intangible assets was recognized.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $566.8 million of goodwill on our balance sheet and, of this amount, approximately 64.3% relates to our United States facilities services segment, approximately 35.0% relates to our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment and approximately 0.7% relates to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. As of the date of our latest impairment test, October 1, 2010, the fair values of our United States facilities services, United States mechanical construction and facilities services and United States electrical construction and facilities services segments exceeded their respective carrying values by approximately $50.6 million, $301.6 million and $337.8 million, respectively. The weighted average cost of capital used in testing goodwill for impairment was 13.2% and 12.2% for our domestic construction and facilities services segments and our United States facilities services segment, respectively. The perpetual growth rate used was 3.0% for our domestic construction segments and 2.8% for our United States facilities services segment, respectively.

Our development of the present value of future cash flow projections used in impairment testing is based upon assumptions and estimates by management derived from a review of our operating results, business plans, anticipated growth rates and margins and weighted average cost of capital, among others. Much of the information used in assessing fair value is outside the control of management, such as interest rates, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods. There can be no assurances that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill and identifiable intangible asset impairment testing as of October 1, 2010 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans or anticipated growth rates and/or margins are not achieved, or there is a rise in interest rates, we may be required to record further goodwill and/or identifiable intangible asset impairment charges in future periods.

Although we have not yet conducted our October 1, 2011 goodwill and other impairment tests, there have been no impairments recognized through the first nine months of 2011. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such a charge would be material.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We have not used any derivative financial instruments during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, including trading or speculating on changes in commodity prices of materials used in our business.

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for borrowings under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility and were exposed to market risk as it related to the interest rate swap. Borrowings under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates. As of September 30, 2011, there were borrowings of $150.0 million outstanding under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility. This instrument bears interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time (3.25% at September 30, 2011) plus 1.75% to 2.25% based on certain financial tests or (2) United States dollar LIBOR (0.24% at September 30, 2011) plus 2.75% to 3.25% based on certain financial tests. The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2011 was 2.99%. Based on the $150.0 million borrowings outstanding on the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility, if overall interest rates were to increase by 25 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would increase by approximately $0.2 million in the next twelve months. Conversely, if overall interest rates were to decrease by 25 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would decrease by approximately $0.2 million in the next twelve months. Letter of credit fees issued under this facility range from 2.75% to 3.25% of the respective face amounts of the letters of credit issued and are charged based on certain financial tests. The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2013. There is no guarantee that we will be able to renew the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility at its expiration.

We are also exposed to construction market risk and its potential related impact on accounts receivable or costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. The amounts recorded may be at risk if our customers’ ability to pay these obligations is negatively impacted by economic conditions. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and maintain on-going discussions with customers regarding contract status

with respect to change orders and billing terms. Therefore, we believe we take appropriate action to manage market and other risks, but there is no assurance that we will be able to reasonably identify all risks with respect to collectibility of these assets. See also the previous discussion of Accounts Receivable under the heading, “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of equity, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe the exposure to the effects that fluctuating foreign currencies may have on our consolidated results of operations is limited because the foreign operations primarily invoice customers and collect obligations in their respective local currencies. Additionally, expenses associated with these transactions are generally contracted and paid for in their same local currencies.

In addition, we are exposed to market risk of fluctuations in certain commodity prices of materials, such as copper and steel, which are used as components of supplies or materials utilized in both our construction and facilities services operations. We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to gasoline prices for our fleet of over 8,000 vehicles. While we believe we can increase our prices to adjust for some price increases in commodities, there can be no assurance that price increases of all commodities, if they were to occur, would be recoverable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), our President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony J. Guzzi, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mark A. Pompa, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchanges Act of 1934) are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On September 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which management, on behalf of the Company, was authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in negotiated transactions. During the remaining five days in the three month period ended September 30, 2011, we made no repurchases of our common stock.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

As previously disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, a subsidiary of the Company occasionally performs maintenance work at mines covered by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (“MSHA”). On August 9, 2010, the subsidiary received three citations claiming the occurrence of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a coal or other mine safety or health hazard under MSHA. All of such citations were related to an accident at a customer’s mine that resulted in the death of one employee of such subsidiary during normal maintenance activities conducted by the subsidiary at the customer’s mine. All of the alleged violations were timely abated. The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration has issued a proposed assessment of $15,000 against the subsidiary for such alleged violations, and the subsidiary has notified the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration of its intention to contest the proposed assessment.
