Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form-10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to our expectations for future events and time periods. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding:

 

   

future financial performance and growth targets or expectations;

 

   

market and industry trends and developments;

 

   

the benefits of our completed and future merger, acquisition and disposition transactions; and

 

   

plans to increase operational capacity, including additional trucks, saltwater disposal and underground injection wells, frac tanks, rail cars, processing facilities and pipeline construction or expansion.

You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “future,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “forecast,” “project,” “target” and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. Future performance cannot be ensured. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

 

   

financial results that may be volatile and may not reflect historical trends due to, among other things, acquisition and disposition activities, fluctuations in consumer trends, pricing pressures, changes in raw material or labor prices or rates related to our business and changing regulations or political developments in the markets in which we operate;

 

   

risks associated with our indebtedness, including our ability to manage our liquidity needs and to comply with covenants under our credit facilities, the indenture governing our outstanding 9.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and other existing financing obligations;

 

   

difficulties in identifying and completing acquisitions, and differences in the type and availability to us of consideration or financing for such acquisitions;

 

   

difficulties encountered in integrating acquired or merged assets, businesses, employees and management teams;

 

   

our ability to attract, motivate and retain key executives and qualified employees in key areas of our business;

 

   

availability of supplies of used motor oil and demand for recycled fuel oil, and prices thereof;

 

   

fluctuations in prices and demand for commodities such as oil and natural gas;

 

   

changes in customer drilling activities and capital expenditure plans, including impacts due to low oil and/or natural gas prices or the economic or regulatory environment;

 

   

risks associated with the operation, construction and development of salt water disposal wells and pipelines, including access to additional disposal well locations and pipeline rights-of-way, and unscheduled delays or inefficiencies;

 

   

the effects of competition in the markets in which we operate, including the adverse impact of competitive product announcements or new entrants into our markets and transfers of resources by competitors into our markets;

 

   

changes in economic conditions in the markets in which we operate or in the world generally, including as a result of political uncertainty;

 

   

reduced demand for our services, including due to regulatory or other influences related to extraction methods such as fracturing, shifts in production into shale areas in which we do not currently have operations or the loss of key customers;

 

   

control of costs and expenses;

 

   

present and possible future claims, litigation or enforcement actions or investigations;

 

   

natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods, or acts of terrorism that may impact our corporate headquarters, assets (including our wells or pipelines), or distribution channels, or which otherwise disrupt the markets we serve;

 

   

the threat or occurrence of international armed conflict;

Table of Contents
   

the unknown future impact on our business from the Affordable Care Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules to be promulgated thereunder ;

 

   

risks involving developments in environmental or other governmental laws and regulations in the markets in which we operate and our ability to effectively respond to those developments including laws and regulations relating to oil and gas extraction and re-refining businesses, particularly relating to water usage, disposal, transportation and treatment, uses of refined fuel oil, collection of used motor oil, and transportation of oil; and

 

   

other risks referenced from time to time in our past and future filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Heckmann Corporation, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is an environmental solutions company providing full-cycle environmental solutions to our customers in energy and industrial end-markets. The Company focuses on the delivery, collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal of restricted solids, water, waste water, used motor oil, spent antifreeze, waste fluids and hydrocarbons.

Since the closing of the Thermo Fluids Inc. (“TFI”) acquisition on April 10, 2012, the Company has operated through two business segments: Shale Solutions (previously referred to as Fluids Management) and Industrial Solutions (previously referred to as Recycling).

Shale Solutions provides comprehensive environmental solutions for “unconventional” oil and gas exploration and production including the delivery, collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal of restricted environmental products used in the development of unconventional oil and natural gas fields. Shale Solutions currently operates in select shale areas in the United States including the predominately oil-rich shale areas consisting of the Utica, Eagle Ford, Tuscaloosa Marine, Mississippian Lime and Permian Shale basins and, since the completion of the merger with with Badlands Power Fuels, LLC on November 30, 2012, the Bakken Shale basin, and the predominately gas-rich shale areas consisting of the Haynesville, Marcellus and Barnett Shale areas. Shale Solutions serves customers seeking fresh water acquisition, temporary water transmission and storage, transportation, treatment, recycling or disposal of complex water flows, such as flowback and produced brine water, and management of other environmental products in connection with shale oil and gas hydraulic fracturing drilling, or “hydrofracturing,” operations. In addition, Shale Solutions rents certain of its equipment to customers, including providing for delivery and pickup.

Industrial Solutions provides route-based environmental services and waste recycling solutions that focus on the collection and recycling of used motor oil (“UMO”) and is the largest seller of reprocessed fuel oil (“RFO”) from recovered UMO in the Western United States.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the information required to be set forth herein. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, included herein, has been derived from the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2013 (our “2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Unless stated otherwise, any reference to income statement items in these accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements refers to results from continuing operations. In addition, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted from these financial statements and related notes pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other information we have filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in order to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The amendments in this update do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.

 

10


Table of Contents

However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which for the Company is the reporting period starting January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As permitted under ASU 2013-02, the Company will elect to present reclassification adjustments from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income within a single note to the financial statements beginning in 2013 if and when reclassification adjustments are made. There were no reclassification adjustments from any components of accumulated other comprehensive income during the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). The amendments in this update provide an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles other than Goodwill . An entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The amendments in this update are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, which for the Company are the annual and interim periods starting January 1, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any intangible assets with indefinite lives. At this time, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2012-02 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”). The amendments in this update provide an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The amendment does not change the requirement to perform the second step of the interim goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The amendments in this update were effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, which for the Company were the annual and interim periods starting January 1, 2012. As permitted under ASU 2011-08 the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment at September 30, 2012, which was the date the Company performed its annual test, and instead proceeded directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.

 

(2) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the additional weighted average common stock equivalent shares during the period. Common stock equivalent shares result from shares issuable under call options as well as the assumed exercises of outstanding stock options and warrants, the proceeds of such exercises which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding shares of common stock. Stock options and warrants are deemed to be anti-dilutive when the average market price of the common stock during the period is less than the exercise prices of the stock options and warrants.

For the purpose of the computation of EPS, shares issued in connection with acquisitions that are contingently returnable are classified as issued but are not included in the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding until all applicable conditions are satisfied such that the shares are no longer contingently returnable. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, excluded from the computation of basic EPS are approximately 12.8 million and 1.1 million of shares issuable under call options and contingently returnable shares that are subject to sellers’ indemnification obligations and were being held in escrow as of such respective dates.

(a) For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no shares of common stock underlying stock options, restricted stock or other common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted EPS because the inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive based on the net losses reported.
(b) Warrants and stock options to purchase 1,878,667 shares and 1,427,941 shares of our common stock had exercise prices that exceeded the average market price of our common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.

 

(3) Acquisitions

Power Fuels Merger

On November 30, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rough Rider Acquisition, LLC completed a merger (the “Power Fuels Merger”) with Badlands Power Fuels, LLC (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Power Fuels”) of which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman, Mark D. Johnsrud, was the sole member. Prior to the merger, Power Fuels was a privately-held North Dakota-based environmental solutions company providing delivery and disposal of environmental products, fluids transportation and handling, water sales, and equipment rental services for unconventional oil and gas exploration and production businesses. As a result of the Power Fuels Merger on November 30, 2012, Power Fuels and its subsidiaries became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The Power Fuels Merger consideration consisted of the following:

 

   

95.0 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, with a fair value of approximately $371.5 million, of which 10.0 million shares were placed into escrow for up to three years to pay certain potential indemnity claims; and

 

   

$129.4 million in cash including adjustment for targeted versus actual debt.

The Power Fuels Merger has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting.

The purchase price allocation requires subjective estimates that, if incorrect, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements including the amount of depreciation and amortization expense. The most important estimates for measurement of tangible fixed assets are (a) the cost to replace the asset with a new asset and (b) the economic useful life of the asset after giving effect to its age, quality and condition. The most important estimates for measurement of intangible assets are (a) discount rates and (b) timing and amount of cash flows including estimates regarding customer renewals and cancelations.

The goodwill recognized is attributable to the premium associated with the immediate entry into the oil-rich Bakken Shale area where Power Fuels has an established workforce and operations.

TFI Acquisition

On April 10, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of TFI Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Thermo Fluids Inc. (collectively, “TFI”), a route-based environmental services and waste recycling solutions provider that focuses on the collection and recycling of UMO and the sale of RFO from recovered UMO.

The aggregate purchase price of $246.0 million was comprised of approximately $230.2 million in cash, and 4,050,926 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately $15.8 million, which shares were issued in a private placement and were held in escrow in respect of potential indemnification obligations of the sellers of TFI. In connection with the settlement of these indemnification obligations, the aggregate purchase price increased $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The shares remaining in escrow were sold at the direction of the sellers of TFI and the proceeds were distributed in April 2013.

The acquisition of TFI has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The allocation of the aggregate purchase price, which was revised in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to reflect the final valuations, is summarized as follows (in 000s):

 

Accounts receivable

   $ 13,808

The goodwill recognized is attributable to TFI’s assembled workforce and premium associated with the opportunity to further diversify the Company’s operations and service offerings.

Other Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed four other acquisitions, including three in Shale Solutions (one in each of the first, second and third quarters of 2012) and one in Industrial Solutions in the second quarter of 2012. The aggregate purchase price of the acquired businesses was approximately $38.9 million consisting of 7,589,164 shares of the Company’s common stock with an estimated fair value of approximately $30.5 million, cash consideration of approximately $2.6 million and approximately $5.8 million of contingent consideration. The results of operations of the four acquisitions were not material to our consolidated results of operations.

In conjunction with an acquisition completed in Shale Solutions in the third quarter of 2012, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Appalachian Water Services, LLC (“AWS”) and has a call option to buy the remaining 49% at a fixed price at a stated future date, and the noncontrolling interest holder has a put option to sell the remaining 49% percent to the Company under those same terms. As such, the fixed price of the call option is equal to the fixed price of the put option. In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” , the option contracts are viewed on a combined basis with the noncontrolling interest and accounted for as the Company’s financing of the purchase of the noncontrolling interest. Accordingly, $9.3 and $9.0 million, representing the present value of the option, was classified as other long-term obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, with the financing accreted, as interest expense, to the strike price of the option over the period until settlement.

The allocations of the combined aggregate purchase prices at the respective 2012 acquisition dates are summarized as follows (in 000s):

Amortization expense was $8.7 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

(5) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value represents an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

   

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value are as follows (in 000s):

 

     Fair Value      Quoted Prices  in
Active Markets
for Identical
Assets (Level 1)
     Significant
Other
Observable
Inputs
(Level 2)

Obligation for AWS call/put option

     9,021         —           —           9,021   

The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted income approach at the acquisition date and is revalued at each reporting date or more frequently if circumstances dictate based on changes in the discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of the revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the obligations. Contingent consideration is reported as current portion of contingent consideration and long-term contingent consideration in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes to the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded as other income (expense), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Accretion expense related to the increase in the net present value of the contingent liabilities is included in interest expense for the period. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which are referred to as Level 3 inputs. The changes to contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2013 are as follows (in 000s):

The fair value of the obligation for the AWS call/put option represents the present value of the Company’s right to acquire the remaining 49% interest in AWS from the noncontrolling interest holder at a fixed price of $11.0 million payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. The noncontrolling interest holder has a put option to sell the remaining 49% to the Company under the same terms. In accordance with ASC 480, “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ”, the instrument is accounted for as a financing of the Company’s purchase of the minority interest. Accretion expense related to the increase in the net present value of the AWS call/put option is included in interest expense for the period.

In addition to the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required, by U.S. GAAP, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis after initial recognition. Generally, assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. Equity method investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when deemed necessary, using observable inputs such as trading prices of the stock as well as using discounted cash flows, incorporating adjusted available market discount rate information and the Company’s estimates for liquidity risk.

(c) Vehicle financings consist of installment notes payable and capital lease arrangements with a weighted-average annual interest rate of approximately 3.30% and which mature in varying installments between 2013 and 2017. Installment notes payable and capital lease obligations were $1.9 million and $19.0 million respectively, at March 31, 2013 and were $2.1 million and $17.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012.
(d) The issuance discount represents the unamortized difference between the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes issued in April 2012 and the proceeds received upon issuance (excluding interest and fees). The issuance premium represents the unamortized difference between the proceeds received in connection with the November 2012 issuance of the 2018 Notes (excluding interest and fees) and the $150.0 million aggregate principal amount thereunder.

As of March 31, 2013 the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was as follows (in 000s):

 

Revolving Credit Facility

   $ 146,990   

2018 Notes

     426,400   

Capitalized lease obligations

     20,907

   $ 594,297   
  

 

 

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s 2018 Notes is based on quoted market prices. The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and vehicle financing obligations bear interest at rates commensurate with market rates and therefore their respective carrying values approximate fair value.

 

(7) Income Taxes

The following table shows the components of the income tax expense (benefit) (in 000s):

 

     Three Months Ended
March  31,
 
     2013     2012

   $ (705   $ 177

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 31.0%, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the tax impact of state taxes and nondeductible items such as stock based compensation and transaction costs offset by $1.6 million of out-of-period adjustments to deferred taxes associated with certain acquired intangible assets. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was negative 12.2%, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the tax impact of state taxes and changes in valuation allowance.

 

(8) Share-based Compensation

We may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted common stock and restricted stock units, performance shares and units, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards to our employees, directors, consultants and advisors pursuant to the Heckmann Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). On May 8, 2012, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2009 Plan that increased the number of shares of common stock issuable under the 2009 Plan by 5,000,000 shares to an aggregate total of 10,000,000 shares. The additional shares were registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-182068) filed with the SEC on June 12, 2012.

Stock Options

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company granted 137,000 and 20,000 stock options, respectively, pursuant to the 2009 Plan. Stock-based compensation cost is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and totaled approximately $384,000 and $394,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Restricted Stock

The Company measures the cost of employee and board of director services received in exchange for awards of restricted stock, based on the market value of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock. No grants of restricted stock were made during the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 the Company released 51,666 shares of stock to certain employees upon the lapse of restrictions. Stock-based compensation expense for grants of restricted stock was $406,000 and $322,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which amounts are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Liabilities

The Company is subject to the environmental protection laws and regulatory framework of the United States and the individual states where it operates water gathering pipelines and salt water disposal wells. The Company has installed safety, monitoring and environmental protection equipment such as pressure sensors and relief valves, and has established reporting and responsibility protocols for environmental protection and reporting to relevant local environmental protection departments. Management believes the Company is in material compliance with all applicable environmental protection laws and regulations in the United States and the states in which the Company operates. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013 included accruals totaling $1.7 million for various environmental matters, including the estimated cost to comply with a Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality requirement that the Company test and monitor the soil at certain locations to confirm that prior spills were successfully remediated. The Company believes that there are no unrecorded liabilities in connection with the Company’s compliance with environment laws and regulations.

Litigation

We are party to various litigation matters, including regulatory and administrative proceedings arising out of the normal course of business, the more significant of which are summarized below. The ultimate outcome of each of these matters cannot presently be determined, nor can the liability that could potentially result from a negative outcome be reasonably estimated presently for every case. The liability we may ultimately incur with respect to any one of these matters in the event of a negative outcome may be in excess of amounts currently accrued with respect to such matters and, as a result of these matters, may potentially be material to our financial position or results of operations. We review our litigation activities and determine if an unfavorable outcome to us is considered “remote,” “reasonably possible” or “probable” as defined by U.S. GAAP. Where we have determined an unfavorable outcome is probable and is reasonably estimable, we have accrued for potential litigation losses. In addition to the matters described below, we are involved in various other claims and legal actions, including regulatory and administrative proceedings arising out of the normal course of our business. We do not expect that the outcome of such other claims and legal actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Class Action. On May 21, 2010, Richard P. Gielata, an individual purporting to act on behalf of stockholders, served a class action lawsuit filed May 6, 2010 against the Company and various directors and officers in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware captioned In re Heckmann Corporation Securities Class Action (Case No. 1:10-cv-00378-JJF-MPT) (the “Class Action”). On October 8, 2010, the court-appointed lead plaintiff filed an Amended Class Action Complaint which adds China Water as a defendant. The Class Action alleges violations of federal securities laws in connection with the acquisition of China Water. The Company responded by filing a motion to transfer the Class Action to California and a motion to dismiss the case. On March 31, 2011, the District Court adopted the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation to deny the motion to transfer. On May 25, 2012, the court entered a memorandum order adopting the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation denying the Company’s motion to dismiss. On June 25, 2012, the court entered a scheduling order setting forth a schedule for, among other things, discovery and dispositive motions, and document discovery commenced. On July 9, 2012, the Company filed its Answer to the Amended Class Action Complaint. On September 19, 2012, the Company filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment and a Motion for Proposed Briefing Schedule. The Magistrate Judge denied the Motion for Proposed Briefing Schedule on October 4, 2012 and the Company filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s ruling. On January 16, 2013, the Court adopted the Magistrate Judge’s ruling and denied the Company’s request for a briefing schedule on its Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. On October 19, 2012, plaintiff filed a motion to certify a class and appoint class representatives and class counsel. On January 18, 2013, the Company filed its opposition and a motion to exclude the declaration of plaintiff’s class certification expert. On February 19, 2013, plaintiff filed a reply brief. A hearing on plaintiff’s motion to certify a class and appoint class representatives and class counsel has not been scheduled. The Company intends to vigorously defend this case. The Company has not recorded any liabilities for the Class Action matter other than with respect to certain costs of counsel on the basis that any such liabilities are currently neither probable nor estimable.

Derivative Action. On November 18, 2010, Melissa Hess filed a stockholder derivative complaint, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against various officers and directors in the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside captioned Hess v. Heckmann,et al. (Case No. INC10010407) (the “Derivative Action”). The Derivative Action alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment in connection with the acquisition of China Water. The Company responded to the Derivative Action on February 1, 2011 by filing a motion to stay the case until the Class Action is resolved and a demurrer seeking to dismiss the case. The Company filed a reply to plaintiff’s opposition to the motion to stay and demurrer on May 25, 2011. The court held a hearing on the demurrer and motion to stay on June 21, 2011. On July 20, 2011, the court issued orders overruling the Company’s demurrer and denying its motion to stay the Derivative Action. On August 24, 2011, the Company’s board of directors formed a special litigation committee and delegated to the special litigation committee the Board’s full power and authority to investigate the Derivative Action to determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company to allow the Derivative Action to proceed on behalf of the Company. On September 2, 2011, the Company filed a motion to stay the Derivative Action pending completion of the special litigation committee’s investigation and determination. On September 26, 2011, the Court held a hearing on the Company’s motion to stay. On October 3, 2011, the court issued an order denying the Company’s motion to stay without prejudice and a separate order requiring Defendants to respond to plaintiff’s request for production of documents within thirty days. On October 28, 2011, the special litigation committee filed a motion to stay the Derivative Action pending completion of its investigation and determination. After meeting and conferring on discovery matters, on December 2, 2011, the special litigation committee, plaintiff and defendants entered into a stipulation and proposed order to vacate the motion to stay filed by the special litigation committee, and, on December 5, 2011, the Court entered the order. On September 14, 2012, the company filed a Motion to Dismiss or, in the alternative, a Motion for Summary Judgment (“Motion to Terminate”) based on the special litigation committee’s determination that it was not in the best interests of the Company and its current shareholders to pursue the claims pled in the derivative complaint and the special litigation committee’s decision to move to terminate the Derivative Action. During the pendency of the Motion to Terminate, the parties began settlement discussions and a stipulation of settlement was signed on April 1, 2013. The stipulation of settlement requires preliminary and final approval by the Superior Court of California. On April 24, 2013, the Superior Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and a hearing on final approval is set for June 24, 2013. Under the stipulation of settlement the Company agreed to make certain corporate governance changes, pay the plaintiff’s attorneys $300,000, which will be paid by the Company’s insurance carriers

and issue 558,660 shares of the Company’s common stock to the plaintiff’s attorneys. Subject to Court approval and confirmation, the proposed corporate governance changes include formally appointing a lead independent director, adopting a clawback policy to evaluate the recoupment of bonuses or incentive compensation in certain instances, implementing stock ownership guidelines for executives and directors and amending its insider trading policies. In connection with the preliminary settlement, the Company recognized a charge of $2.4 million at March 31, 2013, which represents the product of the Company’s closing share price on March 29, 2013 of $4.29 per share and the 558,660 shares offered. The charge is classified as a component of general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the offsetting liability is classified as a component of accrued expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013. The liability associated with the derivative lawsuit will be adjusted each reporting period going forward for changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock until final approval of the preliminary settlement is granted by the Superior Court of California. The Company’s position is that all or a portion of the $2.4 million settlement accrual is reimbursable by the Company’s insurers; however, the Company has not recorded a receivable as of March 31, 2013 due to the existence of certain contingencies surrounding the collectibility of the amount that have not yet been resolved.

Contingent Consideration for Acquisitions

Appalachian Water Services, LLC Acquisition — The seller of the membership interests in AWS is entitled to receive additional consideration equal to $1.5 million, payable entirely in shares of the Company’s common stock, in the event that EBITDA, as defined in the membership interest purchase agreement for any consecutive twelve months from September 1, 2012 to and ending on August 31, 2014, is equal to or greater $4.0 million.

All Phase Acquisition — The Company was required to make additional payments to the former shareholders of JB Transportation Services, Inc. (“All Phase”), which the Company acquired on June 15, 2012, based upon the achievement of certain volume targets over the remainder of 2012. The Company settled this obligation during the first quarter 2013 in exchange for a $0.4 million payment to the former shareholders.

Keystone Vacuum, Inc. Acquisition — In addition to the initial purchase price, the Company may make additional payments to the sellers of Keystone Vacuum, Inc. and related entities (Collectively, “Keystone”), which the Company acquired on February 3, 2012, for each of fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 through 2015, in which Keystone’s adjusted EBITDA (as defined in and calculated in accordance with the asset purchase agreement related to the Keystone acquisition) related to the construction portion of the acquired businesses is greater than applicable adjusted EBITDA targets. Any additional amount payable would be payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. Any such additional payments are capped at an aggregate value of $7.5 million.

Complete Vacuum and Rentals, Inc. Acquisition — In addition to the initial purchase price, the Company may make additional payments to the former shareholders of Complete Vacuum and Rentals, Inc. (“CVR”), which the Company acquired on November 30, 2010. For each of the years ended December 31, 2011 through 2013, in which CVR achieves targeted adjusted EBITDA (as defined in and calculated in accordance with the stock purchase agreement related to the CVR acquisition) of $20.0 million, we could be required to pay CVR’s former shareholders an additional $2.0 million plus one-half of the amount by which adjusted EBITDA exceeds $20.0 million for the relevant year up to an aggregate maximum payment of $12.0 million (the “Earn-Out Payments”). The Earn-Out Payments are payable in a combination of 70% cash and 30% in shares of the Company’s common stock (based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock at the time any such payment is made). On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the former owners of CVR whereby, among other settled items relating to pre- and post-closing indemnification obligations of the parties and including dismissal of a lawsuit, the Company delivered to the former owners 1,726,619 shares of the Company’s common stock representing $6.0 million in value at the time of the issuance as an Earn-Out Payment for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, the balance of the remaining Earn-Out Payments for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and in the aggregate cannot exceed $6.0 million which, pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, will be paid, if at all, in shares of the Company’s common stock.

The carrying values of the Company’s above described contingent consideration obligations were $10.5 million and $10.8 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

(10) Segments

Since the TFI acquisition on April 10, 2012, the Company has had two reportable segments: (a) Shale Solutions (which includes Power Fuels and which was previously referred to as Fluids Management); and (b) Industrial Solutions (which includes TFI and which was previously referred to as Recycling). The Company’s reportable segments at March 31, 2013 represent those used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources and are consistent with its reportable segments at December 31, 2012. Refer to Note 1 for information on the types of services from which each segment derives its revenues. The condensed consolidated financial information and the Industrial Solutions segment financial information include the results of operations for TFI from April 10, 2012. As, prior to the TFI acquisition, the Company had only one reportable segment (what is now referred to as Shale Solutions), no historical comparative information is provided for Industrial Solutions as of and for the three months March 31, 2012. The Company evaluates business segment performance based on income (loss) before income taxes exclusive of corporate general and administrative costs and interest expense, which are not allocated to the segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. See “Forward Looking Statements” on page 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Risk Factors” included in our filings with the SEC for a description of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected results.

Company Overview and Recent Developments

We are one of the largest companies in the United States dedicated to providing comprehensive and full-cycle environmental solutions to our customers in energy and industrial end-markets. We focus on the delivery, collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal of restricted solids, water, waste water, used motor oil, spent antifreeze, waste fluids and hydrocarbons. We aim strategically to expand our business geographically and to enhance our suite of environmentally compliant and sustainable solutions in order to continue to serve our customers, who demand strict environmental compliance and accountability from their solutions providers.

We operate through two business segments: Shale Solutions (which we formerly referred to as Fluids Management) and Industrial Solutions (which we formerly referred to as Recycling).

Shale Solutions provides comprehensive environmental solutions for “unconventional” oil and gas exploration and production, including the delivery, collection, treatment, recycle, and disposal of restricted environmental products used in the development of unconventional oil and natural gas fields. Our strategy is to provide an integrated and efficient complete environmental solution to our customers through a full suite of services which we have built and will continue to build through organic growth and acquisitions.

We currently operate in select shale areas in the United States including the Marcellus/Utica, Eagle Ford, Bakken, Haynesville, Barnett, Permian, Mississippian Lime and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale areas. We serve customers seeking fresh water acquisition, temporary water transmission and storage, transportation, treatment or disposal of fresh water and complex water flows, such as flowback and produced brine water, in connection with shale oil and gas hydraulic fracturing drilling or “hydrofracturing” operations. We also transport fresh water for production and provide services for site preparation, water pit excavations and remediation. We provide these services utilizing our scaled infrastructure and asset base, which currently includes 46 owned or leased operating salt water disposal or underground injection wells, approximately 1,100 trucks, 4,000 frac tanks, 1,900 upright and other tanks, 50 miles of freshwater delivery pipeline and 50 miles of produced water collection pipeline operating in key unconventional resource basins. Complex water flows, in the forms of flowback and produced water, represent the largest waste stream from these unconventional methods of hydrocarbon exploration and production. Flowback water volumes represent approximately 15%–20% of the millions of gallons of water used during fracking that is returned to the surface generally within the first two to three weeks after hydrofracturing has commenced and the well starts producing. Produced water volumes, which represent water from the formation produced alongside hydrocarbons over the life of the well, are generally driven by marginal costs of production and frequently create a multi-year demand for our services once the well has been drilled. We provide, and continue to develop, total water service solutions for the effective and efficient delivery, treatment and disposal of fresh water, flowback and produced water flows resulting from increased exploration in these unconventional oil and gas fields.

Industrial Solutions provides environmental and waste recycling solutions to our customers through collection and recycling services for waste products, including UMO, which we process and sell as RFO, oily water, spent antifreeze, used oil filters and parts washers, and provision of complementary environmental services for a diverse commercial and industrial customer base. Industrial Solutions operates a highly scalable network infrastructure of 34 processing facilities, approximately 385 tanker trucks, vacuum trucks and trailers and over 200 railcars. With a geographic presence in 19 states in the Western U.S. stretching from Washington to Texas, Industrial Solutions provides its services to a diverse range of more than 20,000 commercial and industrial customer locations.

Trends Affecting Our Operating Results

Our results are driven by demand for our services, which are in turn affected in Shale Solutions by production trends in the shale areas in which we operate, in particular the level of drilling activity (which impacts the amount of environmental product being managed) and active wells (which impacts the amount of produced water being managed). Activity in the oil and gas drilling industry is also affected by market prices for those commodities, with persistent low natural gas prices and generally high oil prices driving reduced drilling and production in “dry” shale areas such as the Barnett, Haynesville and Marcellus where natural gas is the

predominant natural resource, and the relocation of assets and increased activity in the liquids-rich or “wet” shale areas, such as the Utica, Eagle Ford, Mississippian Lime and Bakken, where oil is the predominant natural resource. In addition, the low natural gas prices have caused many natural gas producers to announce reductions in capital budgets for future periods. These cuts in spending curtailed drilling programs as well as discretionary spending on well services in certain shale areas and accordingly reduced demand for our services in these areas. In Industrial Solutions, demand for our services is primarily driven by oil and gas prices. While increases in oil and gas prices increase the cost to us of UMO, they generally also cause increases in the price of, and demand for, RFO, as a lower cost, higher British Thermal Units (“BTU”) alternative to diesel fuel and, to re-refiners, as a critical feedstock for the production of base lubricants. Our results are also driven by a number of other factors, including (i) our available inventory of equipment, which we have been building through acquisitions and capital expenditures over the last several years, (ii) transportation costs, which are affected by fuel costs , (iii) utilization rates for our equipment, which are also affected by the level of drilling and production activities, and our ability to relocate our equipment to areas in which oil and gas production activities are growing, (iv) labor costs, which have been generally increasing through the periods discussed due to tight labor market conditions and increased government regulation, including the Affordable Care Act, (v) depreciation and amortization, which have been increasing as we have expanded our asset base, (vi) business mix between our Shale Solutions services and our Industrial Solutions services, (vii) developments in governmental regulations, (viii) seasonality and weather events and (ix) our health, safety and environmental performance record.

Our operating results are also affected by our merger and acquisition activities, and the expenses we incur in connection with those activities, which can limit comparability of our results from period to period. We completed six acquisitions during 2012 and one acquisition in April 2013. We may complete other acquisitions during 2013 and beyond that will substantially change our future operating results from our historical operating results. The TFI acquisition, completed on April 10, 2012, and the Power Fuels Merger, completed November 30, 2012, are our largest transactions to date.

The following table sets forth our revenues from predominately oil and gas shale areas, total revenue for Shale Solutions, revenue for Industrial Solutions, total revenue, loss before income taxes, net loss attributable to common stockholders and EBITDA (defined below) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in 000s):

Results of Operations

Revenues:

Our consolidated revenues are generated from three primary sources: (1) environmental solutions provided to oil and gas companies operating in unconventional resource areas, (2) equipment rental activities and (3) the sale of reprocessed fluids. Additional information about these revenue sources is as follows:

 

   

Environmental solutions revenue consists of fees charged to customers for the sale and transportation of fresh water and salt water by trucks or through temporary or permanent water transport pipelines owned by us to customer sites for use in drilling and hydraulic fracturing activities and from customer sites to remove and dispose of flowback and produced water originating from oil and gas wells and is attributable to Shale Solutions;

 

   

Rental revenue consists of fees charged to customers for use of equipment owned by us over the term of the rental as well as other fees charged to customers for items such as delivery and pickup and is attributable to Shale Solutions; and

 

   

Revenue from reprocessed fluids includes the sale of used motor oil and antifreeze after it is refined by one of our processing facilities and is attributable to Industrial Solutions.

Cost of sales:

Cost of sales consists primarily of the following:

 

   

Wages and benefits for employees performing operational activities;

 

   

Fuel expense associated with transportation and logistics activities;

 

   

Costs to repair and maintain transportation and rental equipment and saltwater disposal wells;

 

   

Depreciation of operating assets included in property, plant and equipment; and

 

   

Costs to acquire UMO.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the following:

 

   

Wages and benefits for employees performing administrative overhead roles;

 

   

Professional fees;

 

   

Provision for doubtful accounts;

 

   

Transaction and integration costs associated with business acquisitions; and

 

   

Certain insurance costs;

 

   

Other costs, including provision for settlement of litigation.

Amortization of intangible assets represents the allocation of costs for other identifiable intangible assets originating from business acquisitions to future periods based on the assets’ useful lives and/or their projected future cash flows. Intangible assets include customer relationships, customer contracts, disposal permits, vendor relationships and other.

Interest expense includes interest incurred on the outstanding balance of our Revolving Credit Facility including fees on the unutilized portion thereof, interest incurred on our 2018 Notes as well as other indebtedness, offset by interest earned on short-term investments.

Other income (expense), includes gains and losses from changes to contingent consideration estimates incurred in connection with business combinations and losses attributable to declines in the value of escrowed assets associated with the indemnification arrangements pursuant to business.

Loss from equity investment represents the Company’s portion of losses from its 50% interest in a nonconsolidated venture to deliver fresh water to oil exploration and production companies in the Bakken Shale area.

Non-Rental Revenue

Non-rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $138.1 million, up $85.1 million from $53.0 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was driven primarily by the TFI acquisition and the Power Fuels Merger, which were consummated on April 10, 2012 and November 30, 2012, respectively. The TFI acquisition (including the results of All Phase, which was acquired on May 31, 2012) and the Power Fuels Merger accounted for approximately $28.8 million and $55.0 million of the quarter-over-quarter increase in non-rental revenues, respectively.

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $21.3 million, up $19.4 million from the prior year period. The increase was attributable primarily to the Power Fuels Merger, which contributed $18.2 million of the total quarter over quarter increase.

Segment Revenue

In the Shale Solutions segment, revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, increased by $75.7 million, or 137.9%, to $130.6 million. Shale Solutions revenues were adversely impacted by inclement weather in the 2013 three-month period. The increase was attributable to revenue from Power Fuels following the November 30, 2012, consummation of the Power Fuels Merger, as well as organic growth in other predominately oil-related shale basins, notably the Eagle Ford and Mississippian Lime. Revenue from predominately gas shale basins declined year-over-year, with the reduction in revenue from the Haynesville basin exceeding gains in the Marcellus shale basin. Revenue in the Industrial Solutions segment, created upon the April 2012 acquisition of TFI, was $28.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales was $137.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, up $89.9 million from $48.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Consistent with the increase in revenue, the increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the TFI acquisition and the Power Fuels Merger in 2012, which accounted for approximately $24.3 million and $58.5 million of the

quarter over quarter increase, respectively. The increased cost of sales included higher depreciation expense of $18.8, which included the effects of operating assets acquired in the TFI acquisition and Power Fuels Merger as well as 2012 capital expenditures and assets acquired in other business combinations.

Gross profit for the 2013 three-month period increased to $21.5 million from $7.0 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the aforementioned impact of the Power Fuels Merger and TFI acquisition. The gross profit margin in the 2013 period improved by 80 basis points over the comparable 2012 period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $16.7 million, up $9.7 million from $7.0 million for the comparable 2012 period.

The increase was attributable in part to acquisition activities. The TFI Acquisition (together with the results of All Phase, which was acquired on May 31, 2012) and the Power Fuels Merger accounted for approximately $2.2 million and $3.1 million of the quarter-over-quarter increase in general and administrative expense, respectively.

Additionally, general and administrative expenses include a $2.4 million charge for the preliminary settlement of the shareholder derivative action and lawsuit (Note 9). Under the terms of a stipulation of settlement, the Company agreed to (i) cause the Company’s insurance carrier to pay the plaintiffs’ attorneys $300,000 in cash, (ii) issue 558,660 shares of its common stock to plaintiff’s attorneys as further reimbursement of their fees and expenses, and (iii) make certain corporate governance changes. The $2.4 million charge was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of March 29, 2013 and the corresponding liability (included as a component of accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013) will be adjusted each reporting period going forward for changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock until final approval of the preliminary settlement is granted by the Superior Court of California (currently scheduled to occur on June 24, 2013). As discussed in Note 9, the Company has not recorded a receivable for any reimbursement of the settlement by its insurance carrier.

The remainder of the increase in general and administrative expenses for the quarter-over-quarter period is largely the result of increased salaries and benefit costs associated with headcount increases.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $8.7 million and $1.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is due to the large increase in intangible assets acquired in connection with the six acquisitions, including the Power Fuels Merger and TFI acquisition, that were completed during 2012. The largest components of newly acquired intangible assets were customer relationship intangible assets valued at approximately $248.4 million of which $6.8 million was amortized to expense during the first quarter of 2013.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased operating expenses partially offset by an increase in gross profit.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $13.4 million as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in interest expense during the 2013 period was primarily due to $9.8 million of interest on the $250.0 million and $150.0 million tranches of the 2018 Notes issued in April 2012 and November 2012, respectively, the proceeds of which were used to partially finance, respectively, the TFI acquisition and Power Fuels Merger. In addition, we amortized $1.2 million of deferred financing costs to interest expense in the first quarter of 2013 as compared with $0.2 million of deferred financing cost amortization in the first quarter of 2012. The increase was due to approximately $25.0 million of costs incurred and capitalized in connection with the issuance of the 2018 Notes and the amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility that we entered into concurrently with the Power Fuels Merger.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net was $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 and primarily reflects an approximate $1.0 million loss incurred in connection with a decline in the value of certain shares placed in escrow upon the closing of the TFI acquisition. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the stock purchase agreement related to the TFI acquisition, the Company was required to indemnify the sellers for a decline in the value of escrowed shares after the one-year anniversary of the TFI acquisition and upon liquidation of the escrowed shares.

Loss b efore Income Taxes

Loss before income taxes amounted to $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $3.4 million for the corresponding period of 2012, due to the items previously described. On a segment basis, the pre-tax loss in Shale Solutions improved to $2.4 million in the 2013 period from $0.5 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the addition of the Power Fuels business. Loss before income taxes in the Industrial Solutions segment was $0.4 million in the 2013 first quarter (the Company operated in only reportable segment in the first quarter of 2012) and includes $3.4 million of depreciation and amortization charges. Gross profit in Industrial Solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $4.5 million on revenues of $28.8 million. During the 2013 three month-period, the loss sustained in the Corporate segment was $20.3 million, up from $3.9 million in 2012. The primary factors impacting the Corporate segment pre-tax loss are $9.9 million of additional interest expense associated with the 2018 Notes, a $2.5 million charge associated with the derivative settlement discussed above, $0.6 million of integration related costs and higher salaries and benefit costs attributable to headcount increases.

Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $5.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.0%. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0%, primarily due to the tax impact of state taxes and nondeductible items such as stock based compensation and transaction costs offset by $1.5 million of out-of-period adjustments to deferred taxes associated with certain intangible assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Our primary source of capital is from cash generated by our operations with additional sources of capital from borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility as well as the debt and equity capital markets. Our historical acquisition activity has been, and any future acquisition activity is expected to be, highly capital intensive, with significant investments required in order to expand our presence in the major United States shale basins, access new shale basins and expand the breadth and scope of the services we provide. The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in 000s):

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) of $18.2 million, an increase of $2.0 million from December 31, 2012. Generally, we manage our cash flow by using any excess cash, after considering our working capital and capital expenditure needs, to pay down the outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility.

Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and consisted of the add-back of non-cash items and other adjustments totaling $29.4 million and a $1.8 million increase in net operating liabilities offset by a net loss of $12.6 million. The non-cash items included $31.4 million of depreciation and amortization. The increase in net operating liabilities was due to a $9.8 million increase in accrued interest due primarily to the timing of the interest on the 2018 Notes, which is payable semi-annually on April 15 and November 15.

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and consisted of an $11.8 million increase in accounts receivable due largely to revenue growth and slower collections combined with a net loss of $3.9 million. These were offset by $9.2 million of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, plus other non-cash items totaling $1.5 million.

Investing Activities — Net cash used in investing activities was $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and consisted primarily of $14.8 million of capital expenditures including $9.8 million of upgrades to our produced water pipeline in the Haynesville Shale area.

Net cash used in investing activities was $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and included $17.5 million of capital expenditures and $0.4 million in acquisition payments, partially offset by $1.8 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

Financing Activities — Net cash used in financing activities was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and consisted primarily of $1.2 million of payments under capital leases and term loans and a $0.4 million contingent consideration.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $71.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and consisted of $76.0 million of net proceeds received from the sale of 18.2 million shares of our common stock in a public offering at $4.40 per share offset by $3.1 million in payments on a term loan, which was repaid during the second quarter of 2012 using a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of common stock described above.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2013, excluding acquisitions, totaled $14.8 million, and included $9.8 million of capital outlays for upgrades to the Company’s produced water pipeline in the Haynesville Shale area. A significant portion of our transportation fleet additions are financed through capital leases, which are not included in the capital expenditures noted above. Transportation assets purchased under capital lease obligations totaled approximately $2.3 million and $11.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding costs associated with the produced water pipeline, capital expenditures decreased approximately $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012. This decrease was due in part to our focus on improving the utilization of existing assets and optimizing resource allocations in the various shale areas in which we operate. Our capital expenditure program is subject to market conditions, including customer activity levels, commodity prices, industry capacity and specific customer needs. We may also incur additional capital expenditures for acquisitions. Our planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013, as well as any acquisitions we choose to pursue, will likely be financed through a combination of cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and capital leases, and, in the case of acquisitions, issuances of equity. We may also issue additional debt securities.

Indebtedness

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service requirements and from funding our costs of operations, and capital expenditures including acquisitions. As of March 31, 2013, we had $567.9 million of indebtedness outstanding, consisting of $147.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, $400.0 million of 2018 Notes and $20.9 million of vehicle financings, including capital leases. The 2018 Notes, which were issued in separate tranches, are presented net of unamortized issuance discounts and premiums of $1.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013.

Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to $325.0 million of aggregate commitments less the sum of outstanding revolving advances and outstanding letters of credit including both drawn and undrawn amounts. Availability for future borrowings as of March 31, 2013 was $174.5 million, which is net of $147.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and $3.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. Substantially all of our assets are subject to liens under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of May 3, 2013 the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $160.0 million.

 

34


Table of Contents

The Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness; incur liens (other than liens securing capital leases and purchase money debt); make further negative pledges; make loans, advances and other investments, including acquisitions (provided that acquisitions shall be permitted to the extent that the target is in the water or environmental services industry, that the representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of the acquisition date and certain pro forma ratios are met); declare dividends, distributions and issuances of equity interest or repayment of the same; make fundamental changes; make prepayments, redemptions and purchases of subordinated and certain other debt; engage in transactions with affiliates; pay dividends and make other payments affecting subsidiaries; make changes in lines of business, fiscal year and accounting practices; make material amendments to our organization documents; engage in sales-leaseback transactions; engage in hedging transactions; make capital expenditures and incur operating lease obligations. The indentures governing the 2018 Notes also contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to transfer or sell assets; pay dividends or make certain distributions, buy subordinated indebtedness or securities, make certain investments or make other restricted payments; incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; create or incur liens securing indebtedness; incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries; consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; engage in business other than a business that is the same or similar, reasonably related, complementary or incidental to our current business and/or that of our restricted subsidiaries; and make certain acquisitions or investments.

Outlook

We believe that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. Should operating cash flows or activity levels prove to be insufficient to warrant our currently planned capital spending levels, we expect to adjust our capital spending plans accordingly. Our future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance our debt and ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

From time to time, we evaluate various alternatives for the use of excess cash generated from our operations including paying down debt, funding acquisitions and repurchasing common stock or debt securities. Our capacity to repurchase common stock is limited to $3.0 million per year by the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2013 unless certain payment conditions are satisfied.

EBITDA

As a supplement to the financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we also present EBITDA. EBITDA is consolidated net income (loss) from continuing operations before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because we believe this information is useful to financial statement users in evaluating our financial performance. We also use EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance, make business decisions, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, forecasting future periods, and evaluating capital structure impacts of various strategic scenarios. EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and there are material limitations to its usefulness on a stand-alone basis. EBITDA does not include reductions for cash payments for our obligations to service our debt, fund our working capital and pay our income taxes. In addition, certain items excluded from EBTIDA such as interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner and our presentation may not be comparable to those presented by other companies. Financial statement users should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net income (loss) as defined under and calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The table below provides a reconciliation between net loss, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and EBITDA (in 000s):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The amendments in this update do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which for us is the reporting period starting January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. As permitted under ASU 2013-02, we will elect to present reclassification adjustments from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income within a single note to the financial statements beginning in 2013 if and when reclassification adjustments are made. There were no reclassification adjustments from any components of accumulated other comprehensive income during the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). The amendments in this update provide an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles other than Goodwill . An entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The amendments in this update are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, which for us are the annual and interim periods starting January 1, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, we did not have any intangible assets with indefinite lives. At this time, we do not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2012-02 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”). The amendments in this update provide an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The amendment does not change the requirement to perform the second step of the interim goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The amendments in this update were effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, which for us were the annual and interim periods starting January 1, 2012. As permitted under ASU 2011-08 we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment at September 30, 2012, and instead proceeded directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to our Critical Accounting Policies in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from those contained in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Inflation

Inflationary factors, such as increases in our cost structure, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

Commodity Risk

We are subject to market risk exposures arising from declines in oil and natural gas drilling activity in unconventional areas, which is primarily a function of the market price for oil and natural gas. Various factors beyond our control affect the market prices for oil and natural gas, including but not limited to the level of consumer demand, governmental regulation, the price and availability of alternative fuels, political instability in foreign markets, weather-related factors and the overall economic environment. During 2012, in response to a drop in natural gas prices we redeployed resources to oil-rich shale areas where drilling activity was more robust. Market prices for oil and natural gas have been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the future. Prolonged declines in the market price of oil and/or natural gas could contribute to declines in drilling activity and accordingly would reduce demand for our services. We attempt to manage this risk by strategically aligning our assets with those areas where we believe demand is highest and market conditions for our services are most favorable.

Interest Rates

As of March 31, 2013 the outstanding principal balance on our revolving credit facility was $147.0 million with variable rates of interest based generally on London inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of between 2.50% and 3.75% based on a ratio of the Company’s total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), or an alternate interest rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus  1 / 2 of 1.00%, the prime commercial lending rate of the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, and monthly LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a margin of between 1.50% and 2.75% based on the Company’s total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates on variable rate debt by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of 1% to the interest rates on the average outstanding balance of our variable rate debt portfolio during the first quarter of 2013 our net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 would have increased by an estimated $0.4 million.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at that time to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and are accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as discussed below, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
