EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 ("Form 10-Q/A") to its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, which was originally filed on May 6, 2014 ("Original Filing") to restate its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014 and to amend related disclosures, including its disclosure controls and procedures.

As described in more detail in Note 2 of the Notes to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company identified errors in the estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for two significant pipeline construction projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting within its Oil & Gas segment. As a result of these errors, additional pre-tax charges, including the reversal of previously recognized pre-tax income and the recognition of additional pre-tax losses, should have been recorded in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014. The accounting for the correction of these errors, giving consideration to all project information to date, resulted in the earlier recognition of an $18.8 million charge to reduce contract profitability for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, of which $17.9 million was previously recognized during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014. To correct these errors and to address matters related to the foregoing with respect to its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company determined that it must file this Form 10-Q/A to restate its previously issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014.

The Company determined that a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting existed over the completeness and accuracy of estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting within its Oil & Gas segment as of March 31, 2014. Specifically, the Company did not adequately perform project oversight reviews and monitor compliance with its policies and procedures

around estimating total revenues, costs and profits at completion for two significant pipeline construction projects. The effects of this material weakness are discussed in more detail in Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety. However, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only the following items of the Original Filing and only with respect to the matters affected by this restatement and the matters discussed above:


•	Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Information”;


•	Item 2 of Part I, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Forward-Looking Statements";


•	Item 4 of Part I, “Controls and Procedures”;


•	Item 6 of Part II, “Exhibits”; and


•	The signature page, the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and our condensed consolidated financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibits 101.

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

Willbros Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Willbros” or “WGI”), is a specialty energy infrastructure contractor serving the oil, gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries. The Company’s offerings include engineering, procurement and construction (either individually or as an integrated “EPC” service offering), turnarounds, maintenance, facilities development and operations services. The Company’s principal markets for continuing operations are the United States and Canada. The Company obtains its work through competitive bidding and through negotiations with prospective clients. Contract values range from several thousand dollars to several hundred million dollars and contract durations range from a few weeks to more than two years.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2014 (restated) and 2013, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, the Company believes the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. These restated unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2013 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In the opinion of management, the restated unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position as of March 31, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for all interim periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows to be achieved for the full year.

The restated Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include certain estimates and assumptions made by management. These estimates and assumptions relate to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the restated Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during those periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and parts and supplies inventories; quantification of amounts recorded for contingencies, tax accruals and certain other accrued liabilities; valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred income tax assets; and revenue recognition under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, including estimates of progress toward completion and estimates of gross profit or loss accrual on contracts in progress. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes to be relevant under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Out-of-Period Adjustments – The Company recorded out-of-period adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the calculation of its state tax provision and the overstatement of rent expense. The net impact of these adjustments was an increase to pre-tax loss, as restated, of $0.2 million and a decrease to net loss from continuing operations, as restated, and net loss, as restated, of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company does not believe these adjustments are material, individually or in the aggregate, to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014, nor does it believe such items are material to any of its previously issued annual or quarterly financial statements, or its expected 2014 annual financial statements.

2. Restatement of Previously Reported Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company identified errors in the estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for two significant pipeline construction projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting within its Oil & Gas segment. As a result of these errors, additional pre-tax charges, including the reversal of previously recognized pre-tax income and the recognition of additional pre-tax losses, should have been recorded in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014. The accounting for the correction of these errors, giving consideration to all project information to date, resulted in the earlier recognition of an $18.8 million charge to reduce contract profitability for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, of which $17.9 million was previously recognized during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014. To correct these errors and to address matters related to the foregoing with respect to its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company determined that it must file this Form 10-Q/A to restate its previously issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014.

2. Restatement of Previously Reported Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

These errors, in addition to the correction of certain other immaterial errors, and the reversal of previously accrued bonuses, resulted in additional pre-tax charges of $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The following table summarizes the impact of the restatement on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

The additional pre-tax charges of $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes the following:

•

A reduction in contract revenue of $16.8 million which consists of a $16.2 million reduction in previously recognized contract revenue for a significant pipeline construction project, a $0.3 million reduction in previously recognized contract revenue for another significant pipeline construction project and a $0.3 million reduction related to the erroneous recognition of an unapproved change order.


•	A $1.2 million increase in operating expenses primarily due to the recognition of $2.6 million in reserve for losses on a significant pipeline construction project and $0.3 million in rent expense, partially offset by the reversal of $1.7 million in previously accrued bonuses, which will no longer be paid in accordance with the Company's bonus plans, due to the additional losses incurred.

The net $16.8 million decrease in contracts in progress consists of a $16.2 million reduction in previously recognized contract revenue for a significant pipeline construction project, a $0.3 million reduction in previously recognized contract revenue for another significant pipeline construction project and a $0.3 million reduction related to the erroneous recognition of an unapproved change order.

The $0.9 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily relates to a reserve for estimated losses on a significant pipeline construction project of $2.6 million, partially offset by a $1.7 million reduction related to the reversal of previously accrued bonuses.

The change in the Company's deferred tax accounts relates to the correction of its previously overstated valuation allowance.

2. Restatement of Previously Reported Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The increase in the other balance sheet accounts relates to a $0.3 million increase in other long-term liabilities attributed to additional rent expense and a $0.3 million increase in accrued income taxes attributed to an additional tax provision recorded as a result of the decrease in bonus expense discussed above.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the FASB amended the accounting standard related to a parent company’s accounting for the foreign cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. Under this standard, a parent entity who ceases to have a controlling interest in a subsidiary that is a business within a foreign entity should only release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income if the loss of controlling interest represents complete, or substantially complete, liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary, or asset group, had resided. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and would affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements if it disposes of a foreign entity.

In July 2013, the FASB amended the accounting standard related to income taxes to eliminate a diversity in practice for the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendment requires that the unrecognized tax benefit be presented as a reduction of the deferred tax assets associated with the carryforwards except in certain circumstances when it would be reflected as a liability. The adoption of this revision is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in a company's operations and financial results should be reported as discontinued operations, with expanded disclosures. In addition, disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify as a discontinued operation is required. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and the Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Contracts in Progress

Contract cost and recognized income not yet billed on uncompleted contracts arise when recorded revenues for a contract exceed the amounts billed under the terms of the contracts. Contract billings in excess of cost and recognized income arise when billed amounts exceed revenues recorded. Amounts are billable to customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract. Also included in contract cost and recognized income not yet billed on uncompleted contracts are amounts the Company seeks to collect from customers for change orders approved in scope but not for price associated with that scope change (unapproved change orders). Revenue for these amounts is recorded equal to the lesser of the expected revenue or cost incurred when realization of price approval is probable. Estimating revenues from unapproved change orders involves the use of estimates, and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated recoverable amounts of recorded unapproved change orders may be made in the near-term. If the Company does not successfully resolve these matters, a reduction in revenues may be required to amounts that have been previously recorded.

Contract cost and recognized income not yet billed and related amounts billed as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):



	March 31, 2014 (As Restated)			December 31, 2013
Cost incurred on contracts in progress	$	960,403		$	718,143
Recognized income	148,599			163,615

Progress billings and advance payments	(1,060,279		)	(850,260		)
	$	48,723		$	31,498
Contract cost and recognized income not yet billed	$	97,925		$	57,431
Contract billings in excess of cost and recognized income	(49,202		)	(25,933		)
	$	48,723		$	31,498

Contract cost and recognized income not yet billed includes $4.9 million and $5.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, on completed contracts.

4. Contracts in Progress (continued)

The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to retainage provisions in certain contracts will be due upon completion of the contracts and acceptance by the customer. Based on the Company’s experience with similar contracts in recent years, the majority of the retention balances at each balance sheet date will be collected within the next 12 months. Retainage balances at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were approximately $45.3 million and $39.1 million, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable.

2013 Credit Facilities

On August 7, 2013 the Company entered into a five-year $150.0 million asset based senior revolving credit facility maturing on August 7, 2018 with Bank of America, N.A. serving as sole administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, collateral agent, issuing bank and swingline lender (the “ABL Credit Facility”), and a six-year $250.0 million term loan facility maturing on August 7, 2019 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. serving as a sole administrative agent for the lenders thereunder (the “2013 Term Loan Facility” and, together with the ABL Credit Facility, the “2013 Credit Facilities”).

ABL Credit Facility

The initial aggregate amount of commitments for the ABL Credit Facility is comprised of $125.0 million for the U.S. facility (the “U.S. Facility”) and $25.0 million for the Canadian facility (the “Canadian Facility”). The ABL Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $100.0 million for letters of credit and an accordion feature permitting the borrowers, under certain conditions, to increase the aggregate amount by an incremental $75.0 million, with additional commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from lenders reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent. The borrowers under the U.S. Facility consist of all of the Company’s U.S. operating subsidiaries with assets included in the borrowing base and the U.S. Facility is guaranteed by Willbros Group, Inc. and its material U.S. subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries. The borrower under the Canadian Facility is Willbros Construction Services (Canada) LP and the Canadian Facility is guaranteed by Willbros Group, Inc. and all of its material U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries.

Advances under the U.S. and Canadian Facility are limited to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of 85 percent of the value of “eligible accounts” and 60 percent of the value of “eligible unbilled accounts” less applicable reserves, which the administrative agent may establish from time to time in its permitted discretion. Eligible unbilled accounts may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate. Advances in U.S. dollars will initially bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 250 basis points or the U.S. or Canadian base rate plus 150 basis points. Advances in Canadian dollars will initially bear interest at the Bankers Acceptance (“BA”) Equivalent Rate plus 250 basis points or the Canadian prime rate plus 150 basis points.

The interest rate margins will be adjusted each quarter based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of the previous quarter as follows:



Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio	U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate Loans	LIBOR Loans, BA Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees
>1.25 to 1	1.25%	2.25%
<1.25 to 1 and 1.15 to 1	1.50%	2.50%
<1.15 to 1	1.75%	2.75%

The borrowers will also pay an unused line fee on each of the U.S. and Canadian Facilities equal to 50 basis points when usage under the applicable facility during the preceding calendar month is less than 50 percent of the commitments or 37.5 basis points when usage under the applicable facility equals or exceeds 50 percent of the commitments for such period. With respect to the letters of credit, the borrowers will pay a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable LIBOR margin, shown in the table above, on all letters of credit and a 0.125 percent fronting fee to the issuing bank, in each case, payable monthly in arrears.

6. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in the borrowers’ and guarantors’ accounts receivable, deposit accounts and similar assets (the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and a second priority security interest in the borrowers’ and guarantors’ equipment, inventory, subsidiary capital stock and intellectual property, which is subject to the first priority security interest of the collateral agent for the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan Priority Collateral”).

2013 Term Loan Facility

The 2013 Term Loan Facility provides for a $250.0 million term loan, which the Company drew in full on the effective date of the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility. Term loans were issued at a discount such that the funded portion was equal to 96.5 percent of the principal amount of the term loans. The borrower under the Term Loan Facility is Willbros Group, Inc. with all of its obligations guaranteed by its material U.S. subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries. The 2013 Credit Facilities permit the Company, under certain conditions, to add one or more incremental term loans to the 2013 Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million.

The term loans are repayable in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 0.25 percent of the original amount of the 2013 Term Loan Facility. The balance of the terms loan are repayable on August 7, 2019. The Company is permitted to make optional prepayments at any time, subject to a variable prepayment premium if the prepayment is made prior to August 6, 2016. Mandatory prepayments of term loans are required from (i) 100 percent of the proceeds of the sale of assets constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, subject to reinvestment provisions and certain exceptions and thresholds, (ii) 100 percent of the net cash proceeds from issuances of debt by the Company and its subsidiaries, other than permitted indebtedness and (iii) 75 percent (with step-downs to 50 percent and 0 percent based on a leverage ratio) of annual “excess cash flow” provided that any voluntary prepayments of term loans will be credited against excess cash flow obligations. Mandatory prepayments of excess cash flow are payable within five business days after annual financial statements are delivered to the administrative agent beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

The term loans will bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin, or the “Eurodollar Rate” plus an applicable margin. The ABR is the highest of (i) the rate announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for a period of one month plus 1 percent and (iv) 2.25 percent. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate for Eurodollar deposits for a period equal to one, two, three or six months, as selected by the Company. The applicable margin for ABR loans is 8.75 percent, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans is 9.75 percent.

Obligations under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in the Term Loan Priority Collateral and a second priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral.

The Company's primary sources of capital are cash on hand, operating cash flows, and borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any outstanding revolver borrowings. The Company's unused availability under its March 31, 2014 borrowing base certificate was $70.8 million on a borrowing base of $143.7 million and outstanding letters of credit of $72.9 million.

If the Company's unused availability under the ABL Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 15 percent of the revolving commitments or $22.5 million for five consecutive days, or (ii) 12.5 percent of the revolving commitments or $18.8 million at any time, or upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the ABL Credit Facility, the Company is subject to increased reporting requirements, the administrative agent shall have exclusive control over any deposit account, the Company will not have any right of access to, or withdrawal from, any deposit account, or any right to direct the disposition of funds in any deposit account, and amounts in any deposit account will be applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the ABL Credit Facility.

On November 12, 2014, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the "Commitment Letter") whereby the Company expects that it may be able to obtain a new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $270.0 million (the "2014 Term Loan Facility"). Proceeds under the 2014 Term Loan Facility would be used to refinance the loans outstanding under the 2013 Term Loan Facility, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing, and to provide the Company with additional working capital. Consummation of the 2014 Term Loan Facility is subject to customary closing conditions and the Company can provide no assurance that it will successfully complete the refinancing.

6. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Debt Covenants and Events of Default

A default under the 2013 Credit Facilities may be triggered by events such as a failure to comply with financial covenants or other covenants under the 2013 Credit Facilities, a failure to make payments when due under the 2013 Credit Facilities, a failure to make payments when due in respect of, or a failure to perform obligations relating to, debt obligations in excess of $15.0 million, a change of control, and certain insolvency proceedings. A default under the ABL Credit Facility would permit the lenders to terminate their commitment to make cash advances or issue letters of credit, require the immediate repayment of any outstanding cash advances with interest and require the cash collateralization of outstanding letter of credit obligations. A default under the 2013 Term Loan Facility would permit the lenders to require immediate repayment of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable thereunder.

Based on the decision to restate its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, the Company was in violation of certain technical covenants in the 2013 Credit Facilities which, among other things, requires the Company to deliver financial statements in accordance with GAAP. As a result, effective December 1, 2014, the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility and the 2013 Term Loan Facility each waived any default or event of default resulting from the failure of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014 to conform to GAAP.

On November 12, 2014, the Company amended, and obtained certain waivers under, the 2013 Term Loan Facility pursuant to a Waiver and Third Amendment (the "Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment, among other things, modifies certain financial covenants under the 2013 Term Loan Facility.

The table below sets forth information with respect to the financial covenants included in the 2013 Credit Facilities, as modified by the Third Amendment, as well as the calculation of the Company's performance in relation to the financial covenants at March 31, 2014. If the refinancing of the 2013 Term Loan Facility is completed, the Company expects that the covenant requirements under the 2014 Term Loan Facility will be the same as those described in the table below:



	Covenants Requirements	Actual Ratios at March 31, 2014
Maximum Total Leverage Ratio(1) under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the ratio of Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility) should be equal to or less than:	3.50 to 1	2.80
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio(2) under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense as defined in the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility) should be equal to or greater than:	3.50 to 1	3.34
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio(3) under the ABL Credit Facility (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA less Capital Expenditures and cash income taxes to Consolidated Interest Expense, Restricted Payments made in cash and scheduled cash principal payments made on borrowed money as defined in the credit agreement for the ABL Credit Facility) should be equal to or greater than:	1.15 to 1	N/A


(1)	The Maximum Total Leverage Ratio decreases to 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2014, increases to 4.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2014 and decreases to 4.00 to 1 as of September 30, 2015, 3.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2015, 3.25 to 1 as of March 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2016 and 2.75 to 1 as of September 30, 2016 and thereafter.


(2)	The Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio decreases to 2.75 to 1 as of September 30, 2014 and 2.00 to 1 as of December 31, 2014 and increases to 2.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2015, 2.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2016 and 3.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2106 and thereafter.

(3)

The Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is applicable only if excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility is less than the greater of 15 percent of the commitments or $22.5 million. In addition, prepayments of indebtedness under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are permitted if excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeds the greater of 20 percent of the commitments and $30.0 million and the borrowers and guarantors are in compliance with the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a pro forma basis immediately prior to and giving effect to the prepayment. Prepayments of indebtedness under the 2013 Term Loan Facility are permitted without restriction to the extent such prepayments are from the proceeds of dispositions of the Term Loan Priority Collateral.

6. Long-Term Debt (continued)

On December 1, 2014, the lenders under the 2013 Term Loan Facility waived the Company's non-compliance with the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio covenant at March 31, 2014. The Company expects to comply with the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio covenant, as modified by the Third Amendment, for the next 12 months.

Depending on its financial performance, the Company may be required to request additional amendments or waivers for its financial covenants, dispose of assets or reduce overhead. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional amendments or waivers, complete asset sales or reduce sufficient amounts of overhead should it become needed.

The 2013 Credit Facilities also include customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including:


•	limitations on liens and indebtedness;


•	limitations on dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock;


•	limitations on capital expenditures; and


•	limitations on modifications of the documentation of the ABL Credit Facility.

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
2013 Term Loan Facility	$	249,432	$	252,372
Revolver borrowings under the 2013 ABL Credit Facility	—		18,953
Capital lease obligations	2,010		2,278
Other obligations	13,614		14,908
Total fair value of debt instruments	$	265,056	$	288,511

The 2013 Term Loan Facility, revolver borrowings under the 2013 ABL Credit Facility, capital lease obligations and other obligations are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the 2013 Term Loan Facility has been estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements. A significant increase or decrease in the inputs could result in a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the 2013 Term Loan Facility.

7. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on continuing operations was a negative 25.0 percent and a negative 29.0 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Tax benefit for discrete items for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.2 million, which is primarily related to interest on uncertain tax positions and for Texas Margins Tax refund. The Company has not recorded the benefit of current year losses in the U.S. As of March 31, 2014, U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets continue to be covered by valuation allowances. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future U.S. taxable income. The Company considers the impacts of reversing taxable temporary differences, future forecasted income and available tax planning strategies, when forecasting future taxable income and in evaluating whether deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

In April 2011, the Company discontinued its strategy of reinvesting foreign earnings in foreign operations. This change in strategy continues through the first quarter of 2014. The Company does not anticipate recording tax expense related to future repatriations of foreign earnings in the U.S.

The Company expects that the statute of limitations will expire on an uncertain tax position within the next 12 months. Assuming that the statute of limitations expires, the Company would release reserves in the amount of $1.3 million.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period and the assumed exercise of potentially dilutive stock options and vesting of RSUs less the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds using the average market price of the Company’s stock for each of the periods presented.

10. Segment Information

The Company’s segments are comprised of strategic businesses that are defined by the industries or geographic regions they serve. Each is managed as an operation with well-established strategic directions and performance requirements.

Management evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on operating income. To support the segments, the Company has a focused corporate operation led by the executive management team, which, in addition to oversight and leadership, provides general, administrative and financing functions for the organization. The costs to provide these services are allocated, as are certain other corporate costs, to the four operating segments.

11. Contingencies, Commitments and Other Circumstances

Contingencies

Central Maine Power

On January 20, 2014, the Company settled a lawsuit against Central Maine Power Company (“CMP”) in connection with an existing project to install transmission lines and perform construction services for CMP, for the project generally known as the Transmission Line Construction of the Southern Loop and Southern Connector portion of the Maine Power Reliability Program (the “MPRP Project”). Under terms of the settlement, CMP made a payment to the Company in the first quarter of 2014 of $20.1 million, which consisted of $17.0 million in settlement proceeds and $3.1 million as an early payment of retention. The impact on the operating results of the settlement was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2013 and had no impact on the operating results of the first quarter of 2014. In addition, CMP extended the schedule and provided other relief on the

remainder of the MPRP Project. The Company continues to perform the MPRP Project which has an expected completion date in the third quarter of 2014.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters Related to the Company’s October 21, 2014 Press Release Announcing the Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2014

After the Company announced it would be restating its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on October 28, 2014 seeking class action status on behalf of the Company’s shareholders and alleging damages on their behalf arising from the matters that led to the restatement. The defendants in the case, Ray Walters v. Willbros Group, Inc. et al, are the Company and its former chief executive officer and current chief financial officer. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, arising out of the restatement of the Company’s second quarter 2014 financial statements and seeks undisclosed damages. The court has not appointed a lead plaintiff, and the Company has not yet answered or otherwise responded to the complaint. As this matter is at a very early stage, the Company is not able at this time to determine the likelihood of loss, if any, arising from this matter. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.

In addition, a shareholder derivative complaint, Markovich v. Harl et al, was filed on November 6, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of the Company naming certain current and former officers and members of the Company's board of directors as defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that the officer and board member defendants breached their fiduciary duties by permitting the Company's internal controls to be inadequate, wasted corporate assets and were unjustly enriched. As this matter is at a very early stage, the Company is not able at this time to determine the likelihood of loss, if any, arising from this matter.

Other

In addition to the matters discussed above and in Note 13 – Discontinued Operations, the Company is party to a number of other legal proceedings. Management believes that the nature and number of these proceedings are typical for a firm of similar size engaged in a similar type of business and that none of these proceedings is material to the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Commitments

From time to time, the Company enters into commercial commitments, usually in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees. Contracts with the Company’s customers may require the Company to secure letters of credit or surety bonds with regard to the Company’s performance of contracted services. In such cases, the commitments can be called upon in the event of failure to perform contracted services. Likewise, contracts may allow the Company to issue letters of credit or surety bonds in lieu of contract retention provisions, where the client withholds a percentage of the contract value until project completion or expiration of a warranty period. Retention commitments can be called upon in the event of warranty or project completion issues, as prescribed in the contracts. At March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $72.9 million of outstanding letters of credit, all of which related to continuing operations. This amount represents the maximum amount of payments the Company could be required to make if these letters of credit are drawn upon. Additionally, the Company issues surety bonds customarily required by commercial terms on construction projects. At March 31, 2014, the Company had bonds outstanding, primarily performance bonds, with a face value at $643.4 million related to continuing operations. This amount represents the bond penalty amount of future payments the Company could be required to make if the Company fails to perform its obligations under such contracts. The performance bonds do not have a stated expiration date; rather, each is released when the contract is accepted by the owner. The Company’s maximum exposure as it relates to the value of the bonds outstanding is lowered on each bonded project as the cost to complete is reduced. As of March 31, 2014, no liability has been recognized for letters of credit or surety bonds.

Other Circumstances

The Company has the usual liability of contractors for the completion of contracts and the warranty of its work. In addition, the Company acts as prime contractor on a majority of the projects it undertakes and is normally responsible for the performance of the entire project, including subcontract work. Management is not aware of any material exposure related thereto which has not been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

12. Fair Value Measurements

The FASB’s standard on fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The FASB’s standard on fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This standard establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1 –	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2 –	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities.


Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, long-term debt and interest rate contracts. The fair value estimates of the Company’s financial instruments have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies and approximates carrying value.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these financial instruments (in thousands) was determined using the following inputs as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



	March 31, 2014
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:

Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	2,473	$	—	$	2,473	$	—

Hedging Arrangements

The Company attempts to negotiate contracts that provide for payment in U.S. dollars, but it may be required to take all or a portion of payment under a contract in another currency. To mitigate non-U.S. currency exchange risk, the Company seeks to match anticipated non-U.S. currency revenue with expenses in the same currency whenever possible. To the extent it is unable to match non-U.S. currency revenue with expenses in the same currency, the Company may use forward contracts, options or other common hedging techniques in the same non-U.S. currencies. The Company had no derivative financial instruments to hedge currency risk at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company is subject to hedging arrangements to fix or otherwise limit the interest cost of its variable interest rate borrowings. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and investment of cash and cash equivalents arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not engage in speculative trading strategies.

In August 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $124.1 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $124.1 million of its existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under the swap agreement, which is effective June 30, 2014 through August 7, 2019, the Company receives interest at either one-month LIBOR or 1.25 percent (whichever is greater) and pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.84 percent. The swap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedging instrument with the effective portion of the swap’s change in fair value recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). The swap is highly effective in offsetting changes in interest expense and no hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts in OCI will be reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized.

In September 2010, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $150.0 million of its then existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under each swap agreement, the Company was to receive interest at either three-month LIBOR or 2 percent (whichever was greater) and pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.68 percent through June 30, 2014. Through August 7, 2013, the swap agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of the swaps’ change in fair value recorded in OCI. Amounts in OCI were reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized during the period when the swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Through August 7, 2013, the swaps were highly effective hedges, and only an immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On August 7, 2013, the swaps were de-designated due to the refinancing of the underlying debt, which decreased the interest rate floor from 2 percent to 1.25 percent. In addition, on August 7, 2013, each swap agreement was transferred to another party through a novation transaction, which increased the Company’s interest rate to 2.70 percent through June 30, 2014. Changes in the value of the swaps that remain open are reported in earnings and were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The carrying amount and fair value of these swap agreements are equivalent since the Company accounts for these instruments at fair value. The values, as identified below (in thousands), are derived from pricing models using inputs based upon market information, including contractual terms, market prices and yield curves. The inputs to the valuation pricing models are observable in the market, and as such are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For validation purposes, the swap valuations are periodically compared to those produced by swap counterparties. Amounts of OCI relating to the interest rate swaps expected to be recognized in interest expense in the coming twelve months totaled $1.7 million.

Asset Disposals

Hawkeye

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company sold certain assets comprising the Hawkeye business to Elecnor Hawkeye, LLC, a subsidiary of Elecnor, Inc. (“Elecnor”). In connection with the sale, the Company recorded total consideration of $27.7 million, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. At the closing, Elecnor delivered two letters of credit, one to the Company for $16.2 million and the other to the escrow agent for $8.0 million. The Company recognized a net loss on sale in the fourth quarter of 2013 of $2.7 million and the disposition had no impact on the operating results in the first quarter of 2014.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company received $21.2 million in cash consisting of full payment against the $16.2 million letter of credit and $5.0 million of the $8.0 million in escrow. The Company expects to receive the remaining $6.5 million in proceeds, once the post-closing working capital adjustment is finalized.

Former Nigeria-Based Operations

Litigation and Settlement

On March 29, 2012, the Company and Willbros Global Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Willbros Group, Inc., a Panama corporation (“WGHI”), which is now a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with WAPCo to settle a lawsuit filed against WGHI by WAPCo in 2010 under English law in the London High Court in which WAPCo was seeking $273.7 million plus costs and interest. The lawsuit was based upon a parent company guarantee issued by WGHI to WAPCo in connection with a Nigerian project undertaken by a WGHI subsidiary that was later sold to a third party. WAPCo alleged that the third party defaulted in the performance of the project and thereafter brought the lawsuit against WGHI under the parent company guarantee for its claimed losses.

The Settlement Agreement provides that WGHI must make payments to WAPCo totaling $55.5 million of which $14.0 million was paid in 2012 and $5.0 million was paid in 2013. Of the remaining $36.5 million due to WAPCo, $3.8 million is due at the end of the second quarter of 2014 and $32.7 million is due at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014.

WGI and WGHI are jointly and severally liable for payment of the amount due to WAPCo under the Settlement Agreement. WGHI and WGI are subject to a penalty rate of interest and collection efforts in the London court in the event they fail to meet any of the payments required by the Settlement Agreement.

The Company currently has no employees working in Nigeria and does not intend to return to Nigeria.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, included in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q/A, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including Critical Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

OVERVIEW

Willbros is a specialty energy infrastructure contractor serving the oil, gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries. Our offerings include engineering, procurement and construction (either individually or as an integrated “EPC” service offering), turnarounds, maintenance, facilities development and operations services.

First Quarter of 2014

In the first quarter of 2014, we reported contract revenue from continuing operations of $500.9 million, an increase of approximately $13.5 million from the first quarter of 2013. The revenue increase was primarily attributed to our Oil & Gas segment, which reported an increase of $16.9 million. Contract revenue was also up in our Professional Services and Canada segments. Our Utility T&D segment reported a $16.9 million reduction in contract revenue. Our operating loss of $7.0 million during the first quarter of 2014 was an increase of $5.5 million from an operating loss of $1.6 million in the first quarter last year. Our results were negatively impacted by losses in our Oil & Gas segment primarily related to increased costs on a significant pipeline construction project, and a reduction of income in our Utility T&D segment primarily related to lower activity in our transmission construction services and adverse weather conditions. First quarter of 2014 results reflect improved operating results over the same period in 2013 in our Professional Services and Canada segments.

Our Oil & Gas segment reported an increase of $16.9 million in contract revenue from the first quarter of 2013 primarily driven by higher revenue in our cross-country pipeline construction services, which benefited from higher utilization of resources. The segment reported an $7.8 million increase in operating loss for the quarter, primarily due to increased costs on a significant pipeline construction project, partially offset by a reduction in losses associated with our regional delivery services, relative to the same period in 2013. Despite an overall improvement in our regional delivery services, which included slightly positive results in the northeast, our regional delivery services generated losses in the northern plains and southwest due to adverse weather and under-absorption of indirect costs associated with lower than planned revenue levels. Underutilization in our downstream construction and maintenance services also negatively impacted operating results for the segment during the quarter. These losses were primarily within our union refinery maintenance turnaround service line and related fabrication facility, which we sold in April 2014.

Contract revenue of $96.3 million generated by our Utility T&D segment was less than the $113.2 million generated in the first quarter of last year. As this segment transitions to a more balanced customer base and replaces Texas Competitive Renewable Energy Zone (“CREZ”) backlog, we expect to see margin improvement on an initially lower revenue run rate. The reduction of operating income in the first quarter resulted from lower contract revenue and the impact of adverse winter weather across the entire segment.

Our Canada segment reported contract revenue of $117.1 million, up $5.1 million from the same period last year. Operating income of $13.3 million was an improvement of 26.3 percent over first quarter 2013 results. Canada continues to benefit from its focus on the oil sands mining and in-situ markets and the process-focused leadership team.

Our Professional Services segment increased contract revenue by 11.0 percent over the first quarter of 2013, to $87.1 million. Professional Services also reported a significant improvement in operating margin, generating $1.9 million in operating income versus $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2013. We expect the investments made in new offices and technology in 2013 to continue to drive improved performance relative to last year in this segment throughout 2014.

Looking Forward

We expect increased opportunities for our Professional Services, Oil & Gas, Utility T&D and Canada segments. We continue to focus on driving the process-oriented culture change which has positively impacted safety performance over the last two years. This focus on risk identification and mitigation and on lines of service which are underperforming, with the objective of generating improved operating results, cash flow and margins, will continue to be the focus of management actions throughout 2014. We will continue to take actions to remediate or exit lines of service which are not performing to expectations

Table of Contents

and focus on expansion of services which contribute superior risk adjusted margins and demonstrate growth potential in all of our segments.

Other Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations

We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for items broadly consisting of selected items which management does not consider representative of our ongoing operations and certain non-cash items of the Company. These adjustments are itemized in the following table. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as a supplemental performance measure for:


•	Comparing normalized operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry; and


•	Presentations made to analysts, investment banks and other members of the financial community who use this information in order to make investment decisions about us.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a financial measurement recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies.

Backlog

In our industry, backlog is considered an indicator of potential future performance as it represents a portion of the future revenue stream. Our strategy is focused on capturing quality backlog with margins commensurate with the risks associated with a given project, and for the past several years we have put processes and procedures in place to identify contractual and execution risks in new work opportunities and believe we have instilled in the organization the discipline to price, accept and book only work which meets stringent criteria for commercial success and profitability.

Backlog broadly consists of anticipated revenue from the uncompleted portions of existing contracts and contracts whose award is reasonably assured, subject only to the cancellation and modification provisions contained in various contracts. Additionally, due to the short duration of many jobs, revenue associated with jobs won and performed within a reporting period will not be reflected in quarterly backlog reports. We generate revenue from numerous sources, including contracts of long or short duration entered into during a year as well as from various contractual processes, including change orders, extra work and variations in the scope of work. These revenue sources are not added to backlog until realization is assured.

Table of Contents

Our backlog presentation reflects not only the 12-month lump sum and work under a Master Service Agreement (“MSA”); but also, the full-term value of work under contract, including MSA work, as we believe that this information is helpful in providing additional long-term visibility. We determine the amount of backlog for work under ongoing MSA maintenance and construction contracts by using recurring historical trends inherent in the MSAs, factoring in seasonal demand and projecting customer needs based upon ongoing communications with the customer. We also include in backlog our share of work to be performed under contracts signed by joint ventures in which we have an ownership interest.

The following tables (in thousands) show our backlog from continuing operations by operating segment and geographic location as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Consolidated Results

Contract Revenue

Contract revenue increased $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013, primarily related to better utilization within our Oil & Gas segment and increased work within our Professional Services segment. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in activity in our electric transmission construction services within our Utility T&D segment primarily due to the completion of the remaining Texas CREZ transmission construction projects in 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million from the first quarter of 2013 mainly due to increased support costs related to higher business volumes. General and administrative expense as a percentage of contract revenue was 7.6 percent in the first quarter of 2014 and 7.7 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

Operating Loss

Operating loss increased $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013, primarily related to an increase in costs on a significant pipeline construction project within our Oil & Gas segment during the quarter, partially offset by improved margins in specialty pipeline construction and integrity services within our Canada segment.

Other Expense

Other expense primarily consists of interest expense on our credit facilities and increased 2.9 percent quarter-over quarter. This increase was partially due to higher interest rates on our debt during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period last year.

Table of Contents

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $1.1 million driven primarily by increased income in our Canada segment. We have not recorded the benefit of current year losses in the U.S. As of March 31, 2014, U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets continue to be covered by valuation allowances.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes

Income from discontinued operations decreased $22.4 million primarily related to the 2013 gain on the sale of Willbros Middle East Limited of $23.6 million, which held our operations in Oman, as well as continued losses attributed to the Maine Power Reliability Program project.

Segment Results

Oil & Gas Segment

Contract revenue increased $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 primarily related to higher utilization in our cross-country pipeline and facilities construction services. This increase was partially offset by lower utilization in our regional delivery services.

Operating loss increased $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 primarily related to an increase in costs on a significant pipeline construction project during the quarter, partially offset by improved performance in our regional delivery services.

Utility T&D Segment

Contract revenue decreased 14.9 percent to $96.3 million in 2014 primarily related to the successful completion of our Texas CREZ projects in 2013. We are successfully transitioning to broader market opportunities in the geographic areas adjacent to Texas and extending across the South to our operations on the Atlantic seaboard.

Operating income decreased $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2014 primarily related to lower productivity in our transmission and distribution services which was mainly the result of unusually harsh weather.

Professional Services Segment

Contract revenue increased by $8.6 million or 11.0 percent. The increase from prior year is a result of increased demand for our integrity field services as well as engineering service offerings. This increase was partially offset by decreased government services contract activity as large capital projects were completed and moved into the maintenance phase as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Operating income increased $1.3 million. The increase is due to strong operational performance on existing and new contract activity in the upstream engineering market as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Canada Segment

Contract revenue increased $5.1 million for the quarter primarily attributed to the continued large volume of work on several significant specialty pipeline construction projects and maintenance projects on behalf of our customers in northern Alberta.

Operating income increased $2.8 million for the quarter primarily attributed to improved margins in our specialty pipeline construction and integrity services and on our maintenance and infrastructure replacement construction projects in Northern Alberta.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Additional Sources and Uses of Capital

On August 7, 2013 we entered into a five-year $150.0 million asset based senior revolving credit facility maturing on August 7, 2018 (the “ABL Credit Facility”), and a six-year $250.0 million term loan facility maturing on August 7, 2019 (the “2013 Term Loan Facility” and, together with the ABL Credit Facility, the “2013 Credit Facilities”).

ABL Credit Facility

The initial aggregate amount of commitments for the ABL Credit Facility is comprised of $125.0 million for the U.S. facility (the “U.S. Facility”) and $25.0 million for the Canadian facility (the “Canadian Facility”). The ABL Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $100.0 million for letters of credit and includes an accordion feature permitting the borrowers, under certain conditions, to increase the aggregate amount by an incremental $75.0 million, with additional commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from lenders reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent. The borrowers under the U.S. Facility consist of all of the Company’s U.S. operating subsidiaries with assets included in the borrowing base and the U.S. Facility is guaranteed by Willbros Group, Inc. and its material U.S. subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries. The borrower under the Canadian Facility is Willbros Construction Services (Canada) LP and the Canadian Facility is guaranteed by Willbros Group, Inc. and all of its material U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries.

Advances under the U.S. and Canadian Facility are limited to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of 85 percent of the value of “eligible accounts” and 60 percent of the value of “eligible unbilled accounts” less applicable reserves, which the administrative agent may establish from time to time in its permitted discretion. Eligible unbilled accounts may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate. Advances in U.S. dollars will initially bear interest at a rate equal to London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 250 basis points or the U.S. or Canadian base rate plus 150 basis points. Advances in Canadian dollars will initially bear interest at the Bankers Acceptance (“BA”) Equivalent Rate plus 250 basis points or the Canadian prime rate plus 150 basis points.

The interest rate margins will be adjusted each quarter based on our fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of the previous quarter as follows:



Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio	U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate Loans	LIBOR Loans, BA Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees
>1.25 to 1	1.25%	2.25%
<1.25 to 1 and 1.15 to 1	1.50%	2.50%
<1.15 to 1	1.75%	2.75%

2013 Term Loan Facility

The 2013 Term Loan Facility provides for a $250.0 million term loan, which we drew in full on the effective date of the credit agreement under the 2013 Term Loan Facility. Term loans were issued at a discount such that the funded portion was equal to 96.5 percent of the principal amount of the term loans. The borrower under the Term Loan Facility is Willbros Group, Inc. with all of its obligations guaranteed by all of its material U.S. subsidiaries, other than excluded subsidiaries. The 2013 Credit Facilities permit the Company under certain conditions, to add one or more incremental term loans to the 2013 Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million.

Table of Contents

The term loans are repayable in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 0.25 percent of the original amount of the 2013 Term Loan Facility. The balance of the 2013 Term Loan Facility is repayable on August 7, 2019. We are permitted to make optional prepayments at any time, subject to a variable prepayment premium if the prepayment is made prior to August 6, 2016. Mandatory prepayments of term loans are required from (i) 100 percent of the proceeds of the sale of assets constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, subject to reinvestment provisions and certain exceptions and thresholds, (ii) 100 percent of the net cash proceeds from issuances of debt by us and our subsidiaries, other than permitted indebtedness and (iii) 75 percent (with step-downs to 50 percent and 0 percent based on a leverage ratio) of annual “excess cash flow” provided that any voluntary prepayments of term loans will be credited against excess cash flow obligations. Mandatory prepayments of excess cash flow are payable within five business days after annual financial statements are delivered to the administrative agent beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

The term loans will bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin, or the “Eurodollar Rate” plus an applicable margin. The ABR is the highest of (i) the rate announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for a period of one month plus 1.0 percent and (iv) 2.25 percent. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate for Eurodollar deposits for a period equal to one, two, three or six months, as selected by Willbros Group, Inc. The applicable margin for ABR loans is 8.75 percent, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans is 9.75 percent.

Our primary sources of capital are cash on hand, operating cash flows, and borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, we did not have any outstanding revolver borrowings. Our unused availability under our March 31, 2014 borrowing base certificate was $70.8 million on a borrowing base of $143.7 million and outstanding letters of credit of $72.9 million.

If our unused availability under the ABL Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 15 percent of the revolving commitments or $22.5 million for five consecutive days, or (ii) 12.5 percent of the revolving commitments or $18.8 million at any time, or upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the ABL Credit Facility, we are subject to increased reporting requirements, the administrative agent shall have exclusive control over any deposit account, we will not have any right of access to, or withdrawal from, any deposit account, or any right to direct the disposition of funds in any deposit account, and amounts in any deposit account will be applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the ABL Credit Facility.

On November 12, 2014, we entered into a commitment letter (the "Commitment Letter") whereby we expect that we may be able to obtain a new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $270.0 million (the "2014 Term Loan Facility"). Proceeds under the 2014 Term Loan Facility would be used to refinance the loans outstanding under the 2013 Term Loan Facility, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing, and to provide us with additional working capital. Consummation of the 2014 Term Loan Facility is subject to customary closing conditions and we can provide no assurance that we will successfully complete the refinancing.

Debt Covenants and Events of Default

Based on the decision to restate our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, we were in violation of certain technical covenants in the 2013 Credit Facilities which, among other things, require us to deliver financial statements in accordance with GAAP. As a result, effective December 1, 2014, the lenders under the 2013 ABL Facility and the 2013 Term Loan Facility each waived any default or event of default resulting from the failure of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014 to conform to GAAP.

Table of Contents

On November 12, 2014, we amended, and obtained certain waivers under, the 2013 Term Loan Facility pursuant to a Waiver and Third Amendment (the "Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment, among other things, modifies certain financial covenants under the 2013 Term Loan Facility.

The table below sets forth information with respect to the financial covenants included in the 2013 Credit Facilities, as modified by the Third Amendment, as well as the calculation of our performance in relation to the financial covenants at March 31, 2014. If the refinancing of the 2013 Term Loan Facility is completed, we expect that the covenant requirements under the 2014 Term Loan Facility will be the same as those described in the table below:



	Covenants Requirements	Actual Ratios at March 31, 2014
Maximum Total Leverage Ratio(1) under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the ratio of Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility) should be equal to or less than:	3.50 to 1	2.80
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio(2) under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense as defined in the credit agreement for the 2013 Term Loan Facility) should be equal to or greater than:	3.50 to 1	3.34
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio(3) under the ABL Credit Facility (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA less Capital Expenditures and cash income taxes to Consolidated Interest Expense, Restricted Payments made in cash and scheduled cash principal payments made on borrowed money as defined in the credit agreement for the ABL Credit Facility) should be equal to or greater than:	1.15 to 1	N/A


(1)	The Maximum Total Leverage Ratio decreases to 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2014, increases to 4.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2014 and decrases to 4.00 to 1 as of September 30, 2015, 3.5 to 1 as of December 31, 2015 3.25 to 1 as of March 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2016 and 2.75 to 1 as of September 30, 2016 and thereafter.


(2)	The Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio decreases to 2.75 to 1 as of September 30, 2014 and 2.00 to 1 as of December 31, 2014 and increases to 2.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2015, 2.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2016 and 3.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2106 and thereafter.

(3)

On December 1, 2014, the lenders under the 2013 Term Loan Facility waived our non-compliance with the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio covenant at March 31, 2014. We expect to comply with the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio covenant, as modified by the Third Amendment, for the next 12 months.

Depending on our financial performance, we may be required to request additional amendments or waivers for our financial covenants, dispose of assets or reduce overhead. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional amendments or waivers, complete asset sales or reduce sufficient amounts of overhead should it become needed.

The 2013 Credit Facilities also include customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including:


•	limitations on liens and indebtedness;


•	limitations on dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock;


•	limitations on capital expenditures; and


•	limitations on modifications of the documentation of the ABL Credit Facility.

In the second quarter of 2014, we made an early payment of $25.0 million against our 2013 Term Loan Facility through proceeds received through the sale of our union refinery maintenance turnaround service line, a related fabrication facility and associated tools and equipment. We continue to pursue additional opportunities to reduce our indebtedness, which may include additional sales of non-strategic and under-performing assets (including equipment, real property and businesses) as well as accessing capital markets.

Table of Contents

Settlement Agreement

On March 29, 2012, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with WAPCo to settle the West Africa Gas Pipeline project litigation. The Settlement Agreement provides that we must make payments to WAPCo totaling $55.5 million of which $14.0 million was paid in 2012 and $5.0 million was paid in 2013. Of the remaining $36.5 million due to WAPCo, $3.8 million is due at the end of the second quarter of 2014 and $32.7 million is due at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014. We intend to fund the final payments due under the Settlement Agreement through cash flow from operations, proceeds from potential asset sales, or through available borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility. We would also have the ability to fund the final payment through proceeds received from the anticipated refinancing of our 2013 Term Loan Facility discussed above under the caption "2013 Term Loan Facility".

For additional information regarding the Settlement Agreement, see the discussion in Note 12 – Discontinued Operations.

Cash Balances

As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations of $53.9 million. Our cash and cash equivalent balances held in the United States and foreign countries were $44.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively. In 2011, we discontinued our strategy of reinvesting non-U.S. earnings in foreign operations.

Our working capital position for continuing operations increased $5.4 million to $220.3 million at March 31, 2014 from $214.9 million at December 31, 2013, primarily attributed to an increase in unbilled revenue partially offset by increased accounts payable and decreased accounts receivable. We expect that our liquidity will improve as we increase our project billings and collections from customers.

Cash Flows

Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that use the local currency as the functional currency exclude the effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given period, as these are non-cash charges. As a result, changes reflected in certain accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows may not reflect the changes in corresponding accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash flows provided by (used in) continuing operations by type of activity were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):



	2014			2013			Increase (Decrease)
Operating activities	$	(2,204	)	$	(14,594	)	$	12,390
Investing activities	19,259			37,052			(17,793		)
Financing activities	(23,160		)	(58,898		)	35,738
Effect of exchange rate changes	(823		)	(228		)	(595		)
Cash used in all continuing activities	$	(6,928	)	$	(36,668	)	$	29,740

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations is primarily influenced by demand for our services, operating margins and the type of services we provide, but can also be influenced by working capital needs such as the timing of collection of receivables and the settlement of payables and other obligations.

Operating activities from continuing operations used net cash of $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $14.6 million used during the same period of 2013. The $12.4 million decrease in cash flow used by operating activities is primarily a result of the following:


•	A decrease in cash flow used by accounts receivable of $32.8 million related to an increase in customer cash collections during the period;


•	A decrease in cash flow used by accounts payable of $19.0 million related to a decrease of cash payments to vendors during the period; and


•	A decrease in cash flow used by other assets and liabilities of $2.8 million primarily attributed to decreased cash payments and increased cash receipts during the period.

Table of Contents

This was partially offset by:


•	An increase in cash flow used by contracts in progress of $20.5 million primarily related to decreased billings on projects during the period;


•	An increase in cash flow used by prepaids and other assets of $17.3 million attributed primarily to increased cash payments and decreased cash receipts during the period; and


•	An increase in cash flow used by continuing operations of $4.9 million related to a decrease in net income, adjusted for any non-cash items.

Investing Activities

Investing activities provided net cash of $19.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $37.1 million provided during the same period in 2013. The $17.8 million decrease in cash flow provided by investing activities is primarily the result of the difference between the $21.2 million in proceeds received for the sale of the Hawkeye business in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the $38.9 million in proceeds received in the first quarter of 2013 for the sale of Willbros Middle East Limited, which held our operations in Oman.

Financing Activities

Financing activities used net cash of $23.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $58.9 million used during the same period of 2013. The $35.7 million decrease in cash flow used in financing activities is primarily a result of a $40.3 million decrease in payments against our revolver and notes payable during the first three months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. This decrease was partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in payments against our Term Loan and a $5.7 million decrease in proceeds from our revolver and notes payable during the first quarter of 2014.

Discontinued Operations

Operating activities of discontinued operations provided net cash of $17.3 million during the first three months of 2014 as compared to $7.7 million used during the first three months of 2013. This increase was primarily due to the receipt of $17.0 million in settlement proceeds from Central Maine Power Company.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest Rate Swaps

We are subject to hedging arrangements to fix or otherwise limit the interest cost of our variable interest rate borrowings. We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt and investment of cash and cash equivalents arising in the normal course of business. We do not engage in speculative trading strategies.

In August 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $124.1 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $124.1 million of our existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under the swap agreement, which is effective June 30, 2014 through August 7, 2019, we receive interest at either one-month LIBOR or 1.25 percent (whichever is greater) and pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.84 percent. The swap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedging instrument with the effective portion of the swap’s change in fair value recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). The swap is highly effective in offsetting changes in interest expense and no hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts in OCI will be reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized.

In September 2010, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $150.0 million of our then existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under each swap agreement, we received interest at either three-month LIBOR or 2 percent (whichever is greater) and pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.68 percent through June 30, 2014. Through August 7, 2013, the swap agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of the swaps’ change in fair value recorded in OCI. Amounts in OCI are reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized during the period when the swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Through August 7, 2013, the swaps were highly effective hedges, and only an immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. On August 7, 2013, the swaps were de-designated due to the refinancing of the underlying debt, which decreased the interest rate floor from 2 percent to 1.25 percent. In addition, on August 7, 2013, each swap agreement was transferred to another party through a novation transaction, which increased our interest rate to 2.70 percent through June 30, 2014. Changes in the value of the swaps that remain open are reported in earnings and were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

The carrying amount and fair value of these swap agreements are equivalent since we account for these instruments at fair value. The values are derived from pricing models using inputs based upon market information, including contractual terms, market prices and yield curves. The inputs to the valuation pricing models are observable in the market, and as such are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For validation purposes, the swap valuations are periodically compared to those produced by swap counterparties. Amounts of OCI relating to the interest rate swaps expected to be recognized in interest expense in the coming twelve months totaled $1.7 million.

Capital Requirements

Our financing objective is to maintain financial flexibility to meet the material, equipment and personnel needs to support our project and MSA commitments. Our primary source of capital is our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility.

Our industry is capital intensive and we expect the need for substantial capital expenditures to continue into the foreseeable future to meet the anticipated demand for our services. As such, we are focused on the following significant capital requirements:


•	Providing working capital for projects in process and those scheduled to begin in 2014; and


•	Funding our 2014 capital budget of approximately $28.8 million of which $24.8 million remained unspent as of March 31, 2014.

We believe that our financial results combined with our current liquidity and financial management will provide sufficient funds to enable us to meet our future operating needs and our planned capital expenditures, as well as facilitate our ability to grow in the foreseeable future even if we are unsuccessful in receiving additional working capital in connection with the anticipated refinancing of our 2013 Term Loan Facility discussed above under the caption "2013 Term Loan Facility".

Contractual Obligations

Other commercial commitments, as detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, did not materially change except for payments made in the normal course of business.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q/A includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q/A that address activities, events or developments which we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), oil, gas, gas liquids and power prices, demand for our services, the amount and nature of future investments by governments, expansion and other development trends of the oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries, business strategy, expansion and growth of our business and operations, the outcome of legal proceedings and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses we made in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. As a result, actual results could differ materially from our expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contemplated by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:


•	curtailment of capital expenditures and the unavailability of project funding in the oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries;


•	project cost overruns, unforeseen schedule delays and the application of liquidated damages;


•	failure to obtain the timely award of one or more projects;


•	increased capacity and decreased demand for our services in the more competitive industry segments that we serve;


•	reduced creditworthiness of our customer base and higher risk of non-payment of receivables;


•	inability to lower our cost structure to remain competitive in the market or to achieve anticipated operating margins;


•	inability of the energy service sector to reduce costs when necessary to a level where our customers’ project economics support a reasonable level of development work;


•	inability to predict the timing of an increase in energy sector capital spending, which results in staffing below the level required to service such an increase;


•	reduction of services to existing and prospective clients when they bring historically out-sourced services back in-house to preserve intellectual capital and minimize layoffs;


•	the consequences we may encounter if we fail to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or identify other material weaknesses in the future, which may adversely affect the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting;


•	the impact of any investigations or litigation, including class actions, derivative actions and administrative proceedings, associated with our restatement of first and second quarter 2014 financial results, on our financial position and results of operations, including our defense costs and the costs and other effects of settlements or judgments;

•

the consequences we may encounter if we violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) or other anti-corruption laws in view of the 2008 final settlements with the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in which we admitted prior FCPA violations, including the imposition of civil or criminal fines, penalties, enhanced monitoring arrangements, or other sanctions that might be imposed;


•	the consequences we may encounter if we are unable to make payments required of us pursuant to our settlement agreement of the West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited lawsuit;


•	the dishonesty of employees and/or other representatives or their refusal to abide by applicable laws and our established policies and rules;


•	adverse weather conditions not anticipated in bids and estimates;


•	the occurrence during the course of our operations of accidents and injuries to our personnel, as well as to third parties, that negatively affect our safety record, which is a factor used by many clients to pre-qualify and otherwise award work to contractors in our industry;


•	cancellation of projects, in whole or in part, for any reason;


•	failing to realize cost recoveries on claims or change orders from projects completed or in progress within a reasonable period after completion of the relevant project;

Table of Contents


•	political or social circumstances impeding the progress of our work and increasing the cost of performance;


•	inability to obtain and maintain legal registration status in one or more foreign countries in which we are seeking to do business;


•	inability to hire and retain sufficient skilled labor to execute our current work, our work in backlog and future work we have not yet been awarded;


•	inability to execute cost-reimbursable projects within the target cost, thus eroding contract margin and, potentially, contract income on any such project;


•	Inability to obtain adequate financing on reasonable terms;


•	inability to obtain sufficient surety bonds or letters of credit;


•	inability to comply with the financial and other covenants in, or obtain waivers under, our 2013 Credit Facilities;


•	inability to dispose of businesses and asset in a timely manner at reasonable valuations;


•	loss of the services of key management personnel;


•	the demand for energy moderating or diminishing;


•	downturns in general economic, market or business conditions in our target markets;


•	changes in and interpretation of U.S. and foreign tax laws that impact our worldwide provision for income taxes and effective income tax rate;


•	changes in applicable laws or regulations, or changed interpretations thereof, including climate change regulation;


•	changes in the scope of our expected insurance coverage;


•	inability to manage insurable risk at an affordable cost;


•	enforceable claims for which we are not fully insured;


•	incurrence of insurable claims in excess of our insurance coverage;


•	the occurrence of the risk factors listed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q or described in our periodic filings with the SEC; and


•	other factors, most of which are beyond our control.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q/A are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments we anticipate will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the consequences for, or effects on, our business or operations that we anticipate today. We assume no obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Unless the context requires or is otherwise noted, all references in this Form 10-Q/A to “Willbros”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Willbros Group, Inc., its consolidated subsidiaries and their predecessors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to hedging arrangements to fix or otherwise limit the interest cost of our existing variable interest rate borrowings. We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt and investment of cash and cash equivalents arising in the normal course of business. We do not engage in speculative trading strategies.

Under our 2013 Credit Facilities, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately $0.3 million. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would decrease interest expense by $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

effective in offsetting changes in interest expense and no hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts in OCI will be reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized.

In September 2010, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $150.0 million of our then existing or replacement LIBOR indexed debt. Under each swap agreement, we were to receive interest at either three-month LIBOR or 2 percent (whichever was greater) and pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.68 percent through June 30, 2014. Through August 7, 2013, the swap agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of the swaps’ change in fair value recorded in OCI. Amounts in OCI were reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt were recognized during the period when the swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Through August 7, 2013, the swaps were highly effective hedges, and only an immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On August 7, 2013, the swaps were de-designated due to the refinancing of the underlying debt, which decreased the interest rate floor from 2 percent to 1.25 percent. In addition, on August 7, 2013, each swap agreement was transferred to another party through a novation transaction, which increased our interest rate to 2.70 percent through June 30, 2014. Changes in the value of the swaps that remain open are reported in earnings and were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The carrying amount and fair value of the swap agreements are equivalent since we account for these instruments at fair value. The fair value of the swap agreements was $3.3 million at March 31, 2014 and was based on using a model with Level 2 inputs including quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the fair value of the swaps by $4.0 million. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates (subject to minimum rates of zero) would decrease the fair value of the swaps by $3.1 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in non-U.S. (primarily Canada) currency exchange rates. To mitigate our risk, we may borrow Canadian dollars under our Canadian Facility to settle U.S. dollar account balances.

We attempt to negotiate contracts which provide for payment in U.S. dollars, but we may be required to take all or a portion of payment under a contract in another currency. To mitigate non-U.S. currency exchange risk, we seek to match anticipated non-U.S. currency revenue with expense in the same currency whenever possible. To the extent we are unable to match non-U.S. currency revenue with expense in the same currency, we may use forward contracts, options or other common hedging techniques in the same non-U.S. currencies. We had no forward contracts or options at March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Other

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value at March 31, 2014 due to the generally short maturities of these items. At March 31, 2014, we invested primarily in short-term dollar denominated bank deposits. We have the ability and expect to hold our investments to maturity

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

In connection with filing the original Form 10-Q on May 6, 2014, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision of, and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2014. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

Subsequent to that evaluation, in connection with the restatement discussed in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q/A, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2014.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, our Oil & Gas segment incorrectly estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for two significant pipeline construction projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As a result, we did not maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting by the aforementioned segment. Specifically, we did not adequately perform project oversight reviews and monitor compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures around estimating total revenues, costs and profits at completion for these pipeline construction projects. As discussed in Note 2, these control deficiencies resulted in the restatement of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Additionally, these control deficiencies, if not corrected, could result in misstatement of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement in our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, we have concluded that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plans for Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In response to the identified material weakness described above, our management, with oversight from the Company’s Audit Committee, will complete training for all appropriate personnel within our Oil & Gas segment regarding the application of the Company’s policies and procedures for the oversight and monitoring of the determination of estimated total revenues, costs and profits at completion for construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

Until the remediation step set forth above is fully implemented and concluded to be operating effectively, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the identification of the material weakness identified above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014.
