POWELL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
A. OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Overview
Powell Industries, Inc. (we, us, our, Powell or the Company) was incorporated in the state of
Delaware in 2004 as a successor to a Nevada company incorporated in 1968. The Nevada corporation
was the successor to a company founded by William E. Powell in 1947, which merged into the Company
in 1977. Our major subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, include: Powell Electrical Systems,
Inc.; Transdyn, Inc.; Powell Industries International, Inc.; Switchgear & Instrumentation Limited
(S&I) and Powell Canada Inc.
We develop, design, manufacture and service custom engineered-to-order equipment and systems for
the management and control of electrical energy and other critical processes. Headquartered in
Houston, Texas, we serve the transportation, environmental, energy, industrial and utility
industries.
In December 2009, we acquired the business and certain assets of PowerComm Inc. and its
subsidiaries (referred to herein as Powell Canada) for $23.4 million, not including
acquisition-related expenses. Powell Canada is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and
provides electrical and maintenance services. Powell Canada is also a manufacturer of switchgear
and related products, primarily serving the oil and gas industry in western Canada. The operating
results of Powell Canada are included in our Electrical Power Products business segment from the
acquisition date. For further information on the Powell Canada acquisition, see Note C.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Powell and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote
disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP), have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements
have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived
from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Powell and its subsidiaries included
in Powells Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010, which was filed with
the SEC on December 8, 2010.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years financial statements to conform to the
presentation used in the current year. These reclassifications have not resulted in any changes to
previously reported net income for any periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements and accompanying footnotes. The most significant estimates used in our financial
statements affect revenue and cost recognition for construction contracts, the allowance for
doubtful accounts, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, goodwill and other intangible
assets, self-insurance, warranty accruals, income taxes and estimates related to acquisition
valuations. The amounts recorded for insurance claims, warranties, legal, income taxes and other
contingent liabilities require judgments regarding the amount of expenses that will ultimately be
incurred. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, as well
as the specific circumstances surrounding these contingent
6
liabilities, in evaluating the amount of liability that should be recorded. Estimates may change as
new events occur, additional information becomes available or operating environments change. Actual
results may differ from our estimates.
New Accounting Standards
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance regarding
the accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination arising from
contingencies. This guidance clarifies the initial and subsequent recognition, subsequent
accounting and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from such contingencies in a business
combination. This guidance requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business
combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value, if the acquisition-date fair
value can be reasonably estimated. If the acquisition-date fair value of an asset or liability
cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would be measured at the amount that would
be recognized using the accounting guidance related to accounting for contingencies or the guidance
for reasonably estimating losses. This accounting guidance became effective for us on October 1,
2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to
recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This update requires new disclosures about
significant transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy (including the reasons for these transfers) and the reasons for any transfers in or out
of Level 3. This update also requires a reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition to these new disclosure
requirements, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. For example, this
update clarifies that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures
for each class of assets and liabilities, rather than each major category of assets or liabilities.
This update also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the
valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements.
This update became effective for us with the interim and annual reporting period beginning after
December 15, 2009, our fiscal year 2011, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity
of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which will become effective for us
with the interim and annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2010, our fiscal year
2012. We will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods
presented for comparative purposes. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this
update for the provisions currently in effect for us did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance for the milestone method of revenue recognition.
This guidance allows entities to make a policy election to use the milestone method of revenue
recognition and provides guidance on defining a milestone and the criteria that should be met for
applying the milestone method. The scope of this guidance is limited to transactions involving
milestones relating to research and development. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure
requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration,
information about substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination. This
guidance is effective prospectively to milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods
within those years, beginning after June 15, 2010. Early application and retrospective application
are permitted. We have evaluated this new guidance and have determined that it will not currently
have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In May 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to fair value measurement, which amends
current guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP
and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance generally represents clarification
of fair value measurement standards, but also includes instances where a particular principle or
requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has
changed. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2011. We will adopt this guidance for our fiscal year beginning
October 1, 2012. We do not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income
in financial statements. Entities are required to present total comprehensive income either in a
single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive,
statements. Under the single-statement approach, entities must include the components of net
income, a total for net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for
comprehensive income. Under the two-statement approach, entities must report an income statement
and, immediately following, a statement of other comprehensive income. Under either method,
entities must display adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net
income in both net income and other comprehensive income. The provisions for this guidance are
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
2011, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this guidance for our fiscal year beginning
October 1, 2012.

Subsequent Events
We evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. No
significant events occurred subsequent to the balance sheet or prior to the filing of this report
that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations
taken as a whole.
B. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as an
exit price which represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement
date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on
assumptions that market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability. The accounting
guidance requires the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. As a basis for considering such
assumptions and inputs, a fair value hierarchy has been established which identifies and
prioritizes three levels of inputs to be used in measuring fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either
directly or indirectly, including: quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not
active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data and require the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our assets and liabilities that were accounted for
at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 (in thousands):

Cash equivalents, primarily funds held in money market instruments, are reported at their current
carrying value which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and
are included in cash and cash equivalents in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Foreign currency forward contracts are valued using an income approach which consists of a
discounted cash flow model that takes into account the present value of future cash flows under the
terms of the contracts using observable market spot and forward rates as of our reporting date, and
are included in Level 2 inputs in the above table. We use these derivative instruments to mitigate
non-functional currency transaction exposure on certain contracts with customers and vendors. We
mitigate derivative credit risk by transacting with highly rated counterparties. We have evaluated
the credit and non-performance risks associated with our derivative counterparties and believe them
to be insignificant at June 30, 2011. All contracts are recorded at fair value and marked-to-market
at the end of each reporting period, with unrealized gains and losses being included in accumulated
other comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for that period. See Note
I for further discussion regarding our derivative instruments.
C. ACQUISITIONS
On December 15, 2009, we acquired the business and certain assets of PowerComm Inc. and its
subsidiaries, Redhill Systems, Ltd., Nextron Corporation, PCG Technical Services Inc. and Concorde
Metal Manufacturing Ltd (the business of which is referred to herein as Powell Canada). Powell
Canada is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and provides electrical and maintenance
services in western Canada. Powell Canada is also a manufacturer of switchgear and related
products, primarily serving the oil and gas industry in western Canada. This acquisition supports
our strategy to expand our geographic presence into Canada, as well as increasing our service and
maintenance capabilities.
We paid $23.4 million, plus expenses of approximately $2.4 million, for the acquisition from our
existing cash and cash equivalents and assumed $15.1 million of existing bank debt. See the table
below for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In December 2009, approximately $2.4 million of
the $23.4 million purchase price was placed into an escrow account related to the purchase of
PowerComms 50% interest in the operations of a joint venture in Kazakhstan. This transaction
closed in April 2010 and the escrow was released. The finalization of the net asset adjustment
related to the Kazakhstan transaction and the calculation of the management fee agreement related
to the operating results of the Kazakhstan joint venture from December 16, 2009, through March 31,
2010, as defined in the acquisition agreement, resulted in a refund to the Company of approximately
$472,000. This refund was received by the Company subsequent to September 30, 2010, and reduced
the corresponding receivable.
Intangible assets recorded are approximately $9.0 million and are being amortized over an initial
weighted average life of approximately 8.4 years. Goodwill was initially recorded at approximately
$7.2 million and was not amortized. Goodwill represented the excess purchase price over the
estimated fair value allocated to the net assets acquired. During fiscal 2010, our impairment
analysis indicated that the goodwill related to the acquisition of Powell Canada was completely
impaired, thus a loss on impairment of approximately $7.5 million was recorded in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2010.
The purchase price allocation was as follows, based on the exchange rate as of December 15, 2009

Operating results of Powell Canada are included in our Electrical Power Products business segment
in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from December 15, 2009. Pro forma results,
including the results of Powell Canada since the beginning of fiscal year 2009 would not be
materially different than the actual results reported.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company made a strategic decision to exit the 50%
owned joint venture in Kazakhstan. We did not record our share of revenue and expense or assets
and liabilities as financial information was not available and based on
9
the fact that this information was not material to the consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company. We received approximately $1.2 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2011 resulting from the sale of our 50% investment in a joint venture in
Kazakhstan, which is recorded in other income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
In October 2010, we acquired certain assets related to a technology for real-time optical
fiber-based thermal sensors that have application for monitoring of hot spots in electrical power
equipment systems. There were no operations associated with this patent-pending technology
acquired. This transaction has been recorded as an increase in intangible assets of approximately
$1.5 million at December 31, 2010, and is being amortized over seven years.

US and UK Revolvers
In May 2011, we amended our existing credit agreement (Amended Credit Agreement) with a major
domestic bank. This amendment to our credit facility was made to expand our US borrowing capacity
to provide additional working capital support for the Company, and to terminate the revolving
credit facility for the Companys subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom. The Amended Credit
Agreement provides for a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (US Revolver). Obligations are
collateralized by the stock of certain of our subsidiaries.
The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement for the US Revolver is
a floating rate based upon the higher of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR), or the banks
prime rate. Once the applicable rate is determined, a margin ranging from negative 0.5% to 1.75%,
as determined by our funded debt to EBITDA ratio, is added to the applicable rate.
The US Revolver provides for the issuance of letters of credit which reduce the amounts which may
be borrowed under the revolver. The amount available under the US Revolver was reduced by
approximately $11.6 million for our outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2011.
There were no borrowings under the US Revolver as of June 30, 2011. Amounts available under the US
Revolver were approximately $63.4 million at June 30, 2011. The US Revolver expires on December
31, 2016.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive and maintenance-type covenants, including
restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, as well as restriction on the amount of capital
expenditures allowed. It also contains financial covenants defining various financial measures and
the levels of these measures with which we must comply, as well as a material adverse change
clause. A material adverse change is defined as a material change in our operations, business,
properties, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) or a material impairment of our
ability to perform our obligations under our credit agreements. As of June 30, 2011, we were in
compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement.
Canadian Revolver
On December 15, 2009, we entered into a credit agreement with a major international bank (the
Canadian Facility) to finance the $15.1 million debt assumed in the acquisition of Powell Canada,
and to provide additional working capital support for our operations in Canada. The Canadian
Facility provides for a $20 million CAD (approximately $20.5 million) revolving credit facility
(the Canadian Revolver), subject to certain limitations including a limitation
on borrowings based upon certain financial ratios, as defined in the credit agreement. Expenses
associated with the Canadian Facility were approximately $0.1 million and are classified as
deferred loan costs in other assets and are being amortized as a non-cash charge to interest
expense over two years.
12
The Canadian Revolver provides for the issuance of letters of credit which reduce the amounts which
may be borrowed under the Canadian Revolver. As of June 30, 2011, there were no letters of credit
outstanding under the Canadian Revolver.
There were no borrowings outstanding under the Canadian Revolver and approximately $20.5 million
available at June 30, 2011, subject to a borrowing base calculation. The amount available under
the Canadian Revolver was reduced to approximately $15.9 million based upon the available borrowing
base as defined in the Canadian Facility. The Canadian Facility expires on February 29, 2012. The
interest rate for amounts outstanding under the Canadian Revolver is a floating interest rate based
upon either the Canadian Prime Rate, or the lenders US Bank Rate. Once the applicable rate is
determined, a margin of 0.376% to 1.125%, as determined by our consolidated leverage ratio is added
to the applicable rate.
The principal financial covenants are consistent with those described in our Amended Credit
Agreement. As discussed above, the borrowings under the Canadian Revolver are subject to a
borrowing base limitation. The Canadian Facility contains a material adverse effect clause. A
material adverse effect is defined as a material change in the operations of Powell or Powell
Canada in relation to our financial condition, property, business operations, expected net cash
flows, liabilities or capitalization.
The Canadian Facility is secured by the assets of our Canadian operations and provides for
customary events of default and carries cross-default provisions with our existing debt agreements.
If an event of default (as defined in the Canadian Facility) occurs and is continuing, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Canadian Facility, amounts outstanding under
the Canadian Facility may be accelerated and may become immediately due and payable. As of June
30, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Canadian Facility credit
agreement.
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds
We borrowed $8.0 million in October 2001 through a loan agreement funded with proceeds from
tax-exempt industrial development revenue bonds (Bonds). These Bonds were issued by the Illinois
Development Finance Authority and were used for the completion of our Northlake, Illinois facility.
Pursuant to the Bond issuance, a reimbursement agreement between us and a major domestic bank
required an issuance by the bank of an irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit (Bond LC) to the
Bonds trustee to guarantee payment of the Bonds principal and interest when due. The Bond LC is
subject to both early termination and extension provisions customary to such agreements, as well as
various covenants, for which we are in compliance at June 30, 2011. While the Bonds mature in
2021, the reimbursement agreement requires annual redemptions of $400,000 that commenced on October
25, 2002. A sinking fund is used for the redemption of the Bonds. At June 30, 2011, the balance in
the restricted sinking fund was approximately $334,000 and was recorded in cash and cash
equivalents. The Bonds bear interest at a floating rate determined weekly by the Bonds remarketing
agent, which was the underwriter for the Bonds and is an affiliate of the bank. This interest rate
was 0.30% per year on June 30, 2011.
I. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING STRATEGIES |
|
|
We operate in various countries and have operations in the United Kingdom and Canada. These
international operations expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations. We have entered into certain forward contracts to hedge the risk of certain foreign
currency rate fluctuations. To the extent we choose to manage volatility associated with the net
exposures, we enter into various financial transactions which we account for using the applicable
accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Our objective is to hedge
the variability in forecasted cash flow due to the foreign currency risk associated with certain
long-term contracts. As of June 30, 2011, we held only derivatives that were designated as cash
flow hedges related to the U.S. Dollar/British Pound Sterling exchange rate and the Euro/British
Pound Sterling exchange rate.
All derivatives are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value and
classified based on the instruments maturity date. The total notional amount of outstanding
derivatives as of June 30, 2011 was approximately $0.8 million.

For the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010, we recorded in revenues an
immaterial amount of ineffectiveness from cash flow hedges. |
Refer to Note B for a description of how the above financial instruments are valued in
accordance with the fair value measurement accounting guidance for the three and nine month periods
ended June 30, 2011.
Cash Flow Hedges
The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to protect us from the risk that the
eventual cash flows resulting from transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. Dollar will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. We are currently hedging our
exposure to the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows through foreign
currency forward agreements through September 30, 2011, for transactions denominated in the British
Pound Sterling.
All changes in the fair value of outstanding cash flow hedge derivatives, except the ineffective
portion, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, until net income is affected by
the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction, or until it is probable that the
forecasted transaction will not occur. In most cases, amounts recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income will be released to net income some time after the maturity of the related
derivative. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations classification of effective hedge
results is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Results of hedges of revenue and
14
product
costs are recorded in revenue and costs of sales, respectively, when the underlying hedged
transaction affects net income. Results of hedges of selling and administrative expense, if any,
are recorded together with those costs when the related expense is recorded. In addition, any
ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivatives designated as cash flow
hedges are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the changes occur.
As of June 30, 2011, approximately $29,900 of deferred net losses (net of tax) on outstanding
derivatives recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are expected to be reclassified to
net income during the next twelve months as a result of underlying hedged transactions being
recorded in net income. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to net income are dependent on the
exchange rates in effect when the derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. As of
June 30, 2011, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows
for our forecasted and recorded transactions is three months. For the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2011, we recorded in selling, general and administrative expense an immaterial amount of
ineffectiveness from cash flow hedges.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to
hedging instruments. The ability of financial counterparties to perform under financial instruments
has become less certain. We attempt to take into account the financial viability of counterparties
in both valuing the instruments and determining their effectiveness as hedging instruments. If a
counterparty was unable to perform, our ability to qualify for hedging certain transactions would
be compromised and the realizable value of the financial instruments would be uncertain. As a
result, our results of operations and cash flows would be impacted.
J. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
|
|
Letters of Credit and Bonds
Certain customers require us to post bank letter of credit guarantees or performance bonds issued
by a surety. These guarantees and performance bonds assure that we will perform under the terms of
our contract. In the event of default, the counterparty may demand payment from the bank under a
letter of credit or performance by the surety under a performance bond. To date, there have been no
significant expenses related to either for the periods reported. We were contingently liable for
secured and unsecured letters of credit of $11.6 million as of June 30, 2011. We also had
performance and maintenance bonds totaling approximately $202.1 million that were outstanding, with
additional bonding capacity of approximately $397.9 million available, at June 30, 2011.
We have a facility agreement (Facility Agreement) between S&I and a large international bank. This
$13.6 million Facility Agreement provides S&I the ability to enter into forward exchange contracts,
currency options and performance bonds. At June 30, 2011, we had outstanding a total of
approximately $5.1 million of contingent obligations under this Facility Agreement.
The Facility Agreement provides for financial covenants, customary events of default and carries
cross-default provisions with our Amended Credit Facility. If an event of default (as defined in
the Facility Agreement) occurs and is continuing, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Facility Agreement, obligations outstanding under the Facility Agreement may be accelerated and may become or be declared
immediately due and payable.
Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings, claims and other disputes arising in the ordinary
course of business which, in general, are subject to uncertainties and the outcomes are not
predictable. We do not believe that the ultimate conclusion of these disputes could materially
affect our financial position or results of operations taken as a whole.
K. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
|
|
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 for a full
description of our existing stock-based compensation plans.
Restricted Stock Units
In October 2009 and October 2010, we granted approximately 34,700 and 35,000 restricted stock units
(RSUs), respectively, with a fair value of $38.36 and $30.79 per unit, respectively, to certain
officers and key employees. An additional 5,000 RSUs were granted in October 2010, with a fair
value of $32.12. The RSUs vest over a three-year period from their date of issuance. The fair
value of the
15
RSUs was based on the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ
Global Market (NASDAQ) on the grant dates. The actual amount of the RSUs earned will be based on
the cumulative earnings per share as reported relative to established goals for the three-year
performance cycle which began October 1 of the year granted, and ranges from 0% to 150% of the
target RSUs granted. At June 30, 2011, there were approximately 105,000 RSUs outstanding. The RSUs
do not have voting rights of common stock, and the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs are
not considered issued and outstanding until actually issued.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we granted approximately 15,000 RSUs with a fair value
ranging from $30.79 to $32.12 to certain officers and key employees. The RSUs vest over a
three-year period from their date of issuance. These RSUs are time-based, rather than performance
based, as those discussed above.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.1
million related to the RSUs. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $1.0 million related
to the RSUs for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Restricted Stock
Under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (the 2006 Plan), any employee of the Company and its
subsidiaries and consultants are eligible to participate in the plan and receive awards. Awards
can take the form of options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and performance unit awards.
In October 2010, approximately 11,000 shares of restricted stock were issued to the executive
management of the Company at a price of $30.79 per share under the 2006 Plan. The restricted stock
grant vests 33% per year over a three-year period on each anniversary of the grant date.
Compensation expense is recognized over a three-year vesting period based on the $30.79 price per
share on the grant date.
In October 2009, 10,000 shares of restricted stock were issued to our President and Chief Executive
Officer at a price of $37.67 per share under the 2006 Plan. The restricted stock grant vests 20%
per year over a five-year period on each anniversary of the grant date. Compensation expense is
recognized over the five-year vesting period based on the $37.67 price per share on the grant date.
We have a Restricted Stock Plan for the benefit of members of the Board of Directors of the Company
who, at the time of their service, are not employees of the Company or any of its affiliates.
Subject to certain conditions and restrictions as determined by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors and proportionate adjustments in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and
similar corporate transactions, each eligible director will receive
2,000 shares of restricted stock annually. In June 2011, 16,000 shares of restricted stock were
issued at a price of $33.49 per share. The restricted stock grants vest 50% per year over a
two-year period on each anniversary of the grant date.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.8
million related to restricted stock grants. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.6
million related to restricted stock grants for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.

segments: Electrical Power Products and Process Control Systems. Electrical Power Products includes
equipment and systems for the distribution and control of electrical energy. Process Control
Systems consists principally of instrumentation, computer controls, communications and data
management systems to control and manage critical processes.
The table below reflects certain information relating to our operations by business segment. All
revenues represent sales from unaffiliated customers. The accounting policies of the business
segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Corporate expenses are allocated to the operating business segments primarily based on revenues.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and
related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010, which was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 8, 2010 and is available on the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential shareholders
generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our Company and to take advantage
of the safe harbor protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities
law affords.
From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements
to inform existing and potential shareholders about our Company. These statements may include
projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future
backlog, revenues, income and capital spending. Forward-looking statements are generally
accompanied by words such as estimate, project, predict, believe, expect, anticipate,
plan, goal or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. In
addition, sometimes we will specifically describe a statement as being a forward-looking statement
and refer to this cautionary statement.
In addition, various statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those that express
a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact,
are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
report; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by securities law,
and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on
our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these
expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business,
economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which
are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and
uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following:
|
|
|
The current economic uncertainty and financial market conditions have negatively impacted
and may continue to impact our customer base, suppliers and backlogs. |
|
|
|
|
Our operations could be adversely impacted by the Macondo well incident, the continuing
effects from the U.S. government moratorium on offshore deepwater drilling projects and
related new regulations. |
|
|
|
|
Our industry is highly competitive. |
|
|
|
|
International and political events may adversely affect our operations. |
|
|
|
|
Fluctuations in the price and supply of raw materials used to manufacture our products
may reduce our profits. |
|
|
|
|
Our volume of fixed-price contracts and the use of percentage-of-completion accounting
could result in volatility in our results of operations. |
|
|
|
|
Our acquisition strategy involves a number of risks. |
|
|
|
|
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and, therefore, may
not be a reliable indicator of our future earnings. |
|
|
|
|
Our operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. |
|
|
|
|
We may be unsuccessful at generating profitable internal growth. |
|
|
|
|
The departure of key personnel could disrupt our business. |
|
|
|
|
Our business requires skilled labor, and we may be unable to attract and retain qualified
employees. |
18
|
|
|
Actual and potential claims, lawsuits and proceedings could ultimately reduce our
profitability and liquidity and weaken our financial condition. |
|
|
|
|
We carry insurance against many potential liabilities, however our management of risk may
leave us exposed to unidentified, uninsured or unanticipated risks. |
|
|
|
|
We may incur additional healthcare costs arising from federal healthcare reform
legislation. |
|
|
|
|
Technological innovations by competitors may make existing products and production
methods obsolete. |
|
|
|
|
Catastrophic events could disrupt our business. |
We believe the items we have outlined above are important factors that could cause estimates
included in our financial statements to differ materially from actual results and those expressed
in a forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere by us or on our behalf. We have
discussed many of these factors in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2010. These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could affect us.
Unpredictable or unanticipated factors we have not discussed in this report could also have
material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking
statements. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential
important factor arises, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. We
advise our shareholders that they should (1) be aware that factors not referred to above could
affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution when considering our
forward-looking statements.
Overview
We develop, design, manufacture and service custom engineered-to-order equipment and systems for
the management and control of electrical energy and other critical processes. Headquartered in
Houston, Texas, we serve the transportation, environmental, energy, industrial and utility
industries. Our business operations are consolidated into two business segments: Electrical Power
Products and Process Control Systems. Financial information related to these business segments is
included in Note L of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenues and costs are
primarily related to engineered-to-order equipment and systems which precludes us from providing
detailed price and volume information.
The markets in which Powell participates in are capital-intensive and cyclical in nature.
Cyclicality is driven by customer demand, global economic markets and potential environmental or
regulatory impacts which affect the manner in which our customers proceed with capital projects.
Our customers analyze various factors including the short-term demand for oil and electrical
energy, the overall banking environment, federal and state budgets, the outlook for offshore
drilling and related regulatory actions and the drive towards environmental controls over the type
and way energy is produced and utilized. These factors over the last two fiscal years have
contributed to decisions by customers to delay or to change where they place new capital projects,
which decreased our backlog of orders to $282.3 million entering fiscal 2011, down $83.5 million
from the beginning of fiscal 2010. However, during the past nine months, orders received were
$600.4 million compared to $360.2 million during the same nine-month period of fiscal 2010 and our
backlog has increased to $491.4 million at June 30, 2011. Some of our recent orders received are
large petrochemical and offshore oil and gas construction projects which will take several months
to produce and some were awarded in competitive bid situations. This increased competition, along
with higher commodity prices, will place downward pressure on gross profit compared to last fiscal
year as we work to fulfill these orders in fiscal 2011 and 2012.
In December 2009, we acquired the business and certain assets of PowerComm Inc. and its
subsidiaries (referred to herein as Powell Canada) for $23.4 million, excluding debt assumed of
$15.1 million and not including acquisition-related expenses. Powell Canada is headquartered in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and provides electrical and maintenance services. Powell Canada is also
a manufacturer of switchgear and related products, primarily serving the oil and gas industry in
western Canada. The operating results of Powell Canada are included in our Electrical Power
Products business segment from the acquisition date.
Results of Operations
Revenue and Gross Profit
Consolidated revenues increased $3.2 million to $142.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011
compared to $138.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. For the third quarter of fiscal
2011, domestic revenues increased by 3.5% to $96.8 million compared to
19
the third quarter of 2010. Total international revenues remained comparable at $45.3 million in the
third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. Gross profit for the third quarter of
fiscal 2011, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010, decreased by approximately $14.7
million, to $23.5 million, and gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 16.5% in the
third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 27.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease
in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenues resulted from the mix of projects in
our backlog which was awarded in a more competitive environment than projects in process in fiscal
2010. We anticipate continued pressure on gross margin levels going forward given the overall mix
and pricing of jobs currently in our backlog.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, consolidated revenues decreased $24.5 million to $392.4
million compared to $416.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues decreased as a
result of reduced backlog at the beginning of fiscal 2011, as discussed above. For the first nine
months of fiscal 2011, domestic revenues decreased by 13.2% to $262.3 million compared to the first
nine months of fiscal 2010. Total international revenues increased to $130.1 million in the first
nine months of 2011 compared to $114.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The
acquisition of Powell Canada contributed approximately $19.1 million of this increase in
international revenues during the first nine months of 2011. Gross profit for the first nine
months of fiscal 2011, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010, decreased by
approximately $37.6 million, to $75.0 million, as a result of the reduction in volume and pressure
on margins, as discussed above. These factors also contributed to the decrease in gross profit as
a percentage of revenues to 19.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2011, compared to 27.0% for
the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
Electrical Power Products
Our Electrical Power Products business segment recorded revenues of $135.2 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $129.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. In the
third quarter of 2011, revenues from public and private utilities were approximately $37.0 million,
compared to $32.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenues from industrial and
commercial customers totaled $90.7 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $3.6
million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Municipal and transit projects generated
revenues of $7.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $9.6 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2010.
Business segment gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, was 15.8% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2011, compared to 27.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. This decrease in gross profit
as a percentage of revenues resulted primarily from the pressure on margins, as discussed above.
Gross profit in fiscal 2010 benefitted from the favorable execution of large projects, as well as
cancellation fees and the successful negotiation of change orders on projects which were
substantially completed in prior periods.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, our Electrical Power Products segment recorded revenues of
$371.4 million, compared to $390.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. In the first
nine months of fiscal 2011, revenues from public and private utilities were approximately $101.5
million, compared to $114.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Revenues from
commercial and industrial customers totaled $249.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011,
an increase of $1.1 million compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Municipal and transit
projects generated revenues of $20.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, compared to
$28.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, gross profit from the Electrical Power Products business
segment, as a percentage of revenues, was 18.8%, compared to 26.4% for the nine months ended June
30, 2010. This decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues resulted primarily from the
reduction in volume and pressure on margins, as discussed above. The gross profit in 2010
benefitted from strong market demand when the projects were negotiated, reduced costs on project
completion from operational efficiencies, a reduced work force, cancellation fees for orders that
were cancelled from our backlog and the successful negotiation of change orders for which the costs
were previously recognized.
Process Control Systems
Our Process Control Systems business segment recorded revenues of $6.9 million in the third quarter
of fiscal 2011, a decrease from $9.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Business segment
gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 29.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011
compared to 32.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. This decrease resulted from a less
favorable mix of projects compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, our Process Control Systems business segment recorded
revenues of $21.0 million, a decrease from $26.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Business segment gross profit decreased as a percentage of revenues to 25.6% for the first nine
months of fiscal 2011, compared to 36.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. This decrease
in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is related to a less favorable mix of projects.
20
For additional information related to our business segments, see Note L of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 13.7% of revenues in the
third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 15.2% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2011, compared to $21.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. These decreases are primarily
due to reduced short-term and long-term incentive compensation resulting from lower earnings and a
decrease in commissions and bad debt expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased as a percentage of revenues as a result of our increase in revenues, along with the
decreases discussed above.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to 15.8% of revenues, compared to 15.1% of revenues for the nine months ended June 30,
2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $61.9 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2011, compared to $62.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. This decrease is
primarily related to reduced short-term and long-term incentive compensation resulting from lower
earnings. In the prior year there were also acquisition related costs of approximately $2.3
million related to the acquisition of Powell Canada. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased as a percentage of revenues as a result of our decline in revenues, along with the fact
that portions of our sales and administrative support infrastructure is necessary to support our
customers, invest in information systems, continue research and development and pursue project
opportunities.
Other Income
Other income consists of a $1.2 million gain recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2011
resulting from cash received from the sale of our 50% equity investment in Kazakhstan.
Interest Expense and Income
Interest expense was $88,000 and $296,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011,
respectively, a decrease of approximately $140,000 and $342,000 compared to the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to
lower amounts outstanding under our credit facilities during the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
Interest income was approximately $66,000 and $173,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30,
2011, respectively, compared to approximately $49,000 and $206,000 for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate on earnings before income taxes of
39.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 34.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, our effective tax rate was 37.2%, compared to 35.1% for
the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The effective tax rates for both the third quarter of fiscal
2011 and the first nine months of fiscal 2011 have been negatively impacted by our inability to
record the tax benefit related to pre-tax losses in Canada, offset by the favorable impact on our
effective tax rate for the domestic production activities deduction and the research and
development credit in the United States.
Net Income Attributable to Powell Industries, Inc.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we generated net income of $1.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted
share, compared to $10.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded net income of $6.6 million, or $0.56 per
diluted share, compared to $29.8 million, or $2.56 per diluted share, for the nine months ended
June 30, 2010.
21
Backlog
The order backlog at June 30, 2011, was $491.4 million, compared to $282.3 million at September 30,
2010, and $309.9 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010. New orders placed during
the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $197.7 million compared to $136.1 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2010. Backlog has increased primarily due to an increase in activity in
petrochemical and offshore oil and gas construction projects.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents increased to approximately $137.3 million at June 30, 2011, primarily as
a result of cash flow provided by operations of approximately $25.2 million during the first nine
months of fiscal 2011. As of June 30, 2011, current assets exceeded current liabilities by 2.4
times and our debt to total capitalization was 2.0%.
At June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $137.3 million, compared to
approximately $115.4 million at September 30, 2010. We have a $75.0 million revolving credit
facility in the U.S., which expires in December 2016. As of June 30, 2011, there were no amounts
borrowed under our U.S. line of credit. We also have a $20.5 million revolving credit facility,
which is subject to a borrowing base calculation as defined in the credit agreement, in Canada. At
June 30, 2011, there was no balance outstanding under the Canadian revolving credit facility.
Total long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including current maturities, totaled $5.8
million at June 30, 2011, compared to $6.9 million at September 30, 2010. Letters of credit
outstanding were $11.6 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $15.2 million at September 30, 2010,
which reduce our availability under our credit facilities. Amounts available under the U.S.
revolving credit facility were approximately $63.4 million at June 30, 2011. Amounts available
under the Canadian revolving credit facility were approximately $15.9 million at June 30, 2011.
For further information regarding our debt, see Notes H and J of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents, projected cash flows from operations and borrowing
capacity under our existing credit facilities should be sufficient to finance anticipated operating
activities, capital improvements and debt repayments for the foreseeable future.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $25.2 million during the first nine months
of fiscal 2011 and approximately $52.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Cash
flow from operations is primarily influenced by demand for our products and services and is
impacted as our progress billing milestones and payment terms with our customers are matched with
the payment terms with our suppliers. Cash flow from operations decreased during the first nine
months of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the reduction
in income from operations.
Investing Activities
Investments in property, plant and equipment during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 totaled
approximately $4.1 million, compared to $3.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we received cash of approximately $1.2 million from
the sale of our 50% equity investment in Kazakhstan. During the first nine months of fiscal 2010,
we acquired Powell Canada for approximately $23.4 million. Additionally, approximately $0.6 million
was paid to acquire the noncontrolling interest related to our joint venture in Singapore (Powell
Asia), which has been strategically realigned from an operating entity to a sales and marketing
function within Powell.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.7 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2011 and approximately $6.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. During the
first nine months of fiscal 2010, we repaid the outstanding balance of the deferred acquisition
payable to General Electric Company of $4.3 million.
New Accounting Standards
See Note A to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for
information on new accounting standards.
22
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our
condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities known to exist at the date of the condensed consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance
that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.
Outlook
The markets in which Powell participates in are capital-intensive and cyclical in nature.
Cyclicality is driven by customer demand, global economic markets and potential environmental or
regulatory impacts which affect the manner in which our customers proceed with capital projects.
Our customers analyze various factors including the short-term demand for oil and electrical
energy, the overall banking environment, federal and state budgets, the outlook for offshore
drilling and related regulatory actions and the drive towards environmental controls over the type
and way energy is produced and utilized. These factors over the last two fiscal years have
contributed to decisions by customers to delay or to change where they place new capital projects,
which decreased our backlog of orders to $282.3 million entering fiscal 2011, down $83.5 million
from the beginning of fiscal 2010. However, during the past nine months, orders received were
$600.4 million compared to $360.2 million during the same nine-month period of fiscal 2010 and our
backlog has increased to $491.4 million at June 30, 2011. Some of our recent orders received are
for large petrochemical and offshore oil and gas construction projects which will take several
months to produce and some were awarded in competitive bid situations. This increased competition,
along with higher commodity prices, has placed downward pressure on gross profit compared to last
fiscal year as we work to fulfill these orders in fiscal 2011 and 2012.
Growth in demand for energy is expected to continue over the long term. New infrastructure
investments will be needed to ensure the available supply of petroleum products. New power
generation and distribution infrastructure will also be needed to meet the growing demand for
electrical energy. New power generation plants will also be needed to replace the aging facilities
across the United States, as those plants reach the end of their life cycle. A heightened concern
for environmental damage, together with the uncertainty of gasoline prices, has expanded the
popularity of urban transit systems, which should drive demand for investment in transit
infrastructure, contingent upon available financing. Opportunities for future projects continue,
however, the timing and pricing of many of these projects is difficult to predict. The demand for
our products and services should continue to increase as investments in large capital-intensive
infrastructure projects begin to receive funding and support. The increase in our backlog to
$491.4 million at June 30, 2011 resulted from several large projects awarded related to
petrochemical and offshore oil and gas construction projects which will help solidify our backlog
going into fiscal 2012.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions we have entered into in the normal
course of business. These risks primarily relate to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign
exchange rates and commodity prices.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates related to our floating rate
bank credit facility. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in variable interest rates would not
result in a material impact to our financial statements. While we do not currently have any
derivative contracts to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk, we have in the past and may in
the future enter into such contracts. During each of the past three years, we have not experienced
a significant effect on our business due to changes in interest rates.
Foreign Currency Transaction Risk
We have operations that expose us to currency risk in the British Pound Sterling, the Canadian
Dollar and to a lesser extent the Euro. Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated
into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.
23
The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss), a component of stockholders equity in our consolidated balance sheets. We believe the
exposure to the effects that fluctuating foreign currencies have on our consolidated results of
operations is limited because the foreign operations primarily invoice customers and collect
obligations in their respective currencies or U.S. Dollars. Our international operations are
financed utilizing local credit facilities denominated in local currencies. Additionally, expenses
associated with these transactions are generally contracted and paid for in the same local
currencies. A 10% unfavorable change in the U.S. Dollar exchange rate, relative to other functional
currencies in which we operate, would not materially impact our consolidated balance sheet at June
30, 2011.
During fiscal 2010 and the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we entered into nine foreign currency
forward contracts to manage the volatility of future cash flows on certain long-term contracts that
are denominated in the British Pound Sterling. The contracts are designated as cash flow hedges for
accounting purposes. The changes in fair value related to the effective portion of the hedges are
recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2011, we recorded a net liability of approximately $32,000 on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these transactions.
Commodity Price Risk
We are subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices of certain raw materials. While such
materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials are subject to
price fluctuations. We attempt to pass along such commodity price increases to our customers on a
contract-by-contract basis to avoid a negative effect on profit margin. While we may do so in the
future, we have not currently entered into any derivative contracts to hedge our exposure to
commodity risk. We continue to experience price volatility with some of our key raw materials and
components. Fixed price contracts may limit our ability to pass cost increases to our customers,
thus negatively impacting our earnings. Fluctuations in commodity prices may have a material impact
on our future earnings and cash flows.
Market Risk
We are also exposed to general market and other risk and its potential 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. Our customers and their industries are typically engineering
procurement and construction firms, oil and gas producers, oil and gas pipelines, refineries,
petrochemical plants, electrical power generators, public and private utilities, co-generation
facilities, mining/metals operations, pulp and paper plants, transportation authorities,
governmental agencies and other large industrial customers. We maintain ongoing discussions with
customers regarding contract status with respect to payment status, change orders and billing terms
in an effort to monitor collections of amounts billed.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established and maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have each concluded that as of the end of
the period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months
ended June 30, 2011, that has
24
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Design and Operation of Control Systems
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and
procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and
all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. The design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must
be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error
or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.
Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in
part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or personnel, or
deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various legal proceedings, claims and other disputes arising in the ordinary
course of business which, in general, are subject to uncertainties and the outcomes are not
predictable. We do not believe that the ultimate conclusion of these disputes could materially
affect our financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
