Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Basis of Reporting for Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “CECO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2025 and the results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.

Unless otherwise indicated, all balances within tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

Annually during the fourth quarter, or more often as circumstances require, the Company completes an impairment assessment of its goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets at the reporting unit level. As a part of its annual assessment, the Company first qualitatively assesses whether current events or changes in circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not, defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent, that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If there is a qualitative determination that the fair value of a particular reporting unit is more likely than not greater than its carrying value, the Company does not need to quantitatively test for impairment for that reporting unit. If this qualitative assessment indicates a more likely than not potential that the asset may be impaired, the estimated fair value is determined using a weighting of the income method and the market method. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded.

Additionally, property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. If events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the impairment review is based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived assets are largely independent of other groups of assets and liabilities. When impairment is indicated, the estimated future cash flows are then discounted to determine the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value.

The Company did not identify any triggering events that would require an interim impairment assessment, or record an impairment of goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets, finite life intangible assets or property, plant and equipment during the three or six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company’s assumptions about future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment are subject to uncertainty, and the Company will continue to monitor these conditions in future periods as new information becomes available, and will update its analysis accordingly.

Since foreign earnings have already been subject to United States income tax in 2017 as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company intends to repatriate foreign-held cash as needed. The Company records deferred income tax attributable to foreign withholding taxes that would become payable should it decide to repatriate cash held in our foreign operations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded deferred income taxes of approximately$1.0 million and$0.9 million, respectively, on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.

Income tax expense was$4.5 million and$0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and$23.1 million and$1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 30.9% compared with 7.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 33.2% compared with 13.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 differ from the United States federal statutory rate. The Company's effective rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including the gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business, state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation and differences in tax rates among jurisdictions in which it operates.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting published the Pillar Two model rules designed to address the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the global economy which introduces a 15% global minimum corporate tax for companies with revenues above €750 million calculated on a country-by-country basis. On February 1, 2023, the FASB indicated that it believes the minimum tax imposed under Pillar Two is an alternative minimum tax, and, accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the minimum tax would not be recognized or adjusted for the estimated future effects of the minimum tax but would be recognized in the period incurred. Aspects of Pillar Two legislation have been enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates effective for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2024. However, based on the current revenue threshold, the Company is currently not subject to Pillar Two taxes.

On July 4, 2025, the legislation HR-1, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”), was signed into law. The Act makes several changes to United States tax law, including the limitation on deductibility of interest expense, the capitalization of research expenditures, the allowance of immediate expensing of capital expenditures, and the taxation of foreign earnings. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is currently assessing the Act's impact on the consolidated financial statements.

  1. Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, notes payable, foreign debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, due to their short-term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates.

The fair value of the debt issued under the Credit Facility and joint venture term loan was$240.4 million and$221.5 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value was determined considering market conditions, the Company's credit worthiness and the current terms of our debt, which is considered Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of$36.8 million and$37.8 million, respectively, of which$26.2 million and$29.7 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and China.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Asbestos cases

The Company's subsidiary, Met-Pro Technologies LLC (“Met-Pro”), beginning in 2002, has been named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. While the Company divested of its fluid handling business (also known as its Global Pump Solutions business) in the first quarter of 2025, as discussed in Note 16, the Company retained historical asbestos liabilities and the related legacy insurance policies. In management’s opinion, the complaints typically have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that Met-Pro, along with the numerous other defendants, sold asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including mesothelioma and death) and loss to the plaintiffs. The Company’s insurers have hired attorneys who, together with the Company, are vigorously defending these cases. Many cases have been dismissed after the plaintiff fails to identify or produce evidence of exposure to Met-Pro’s products. In those cases, where evidence has been produced, the Company’s experience has been that the exposure levels are low and the Company’s position has been that its products were not a cause of death, injury or loss. The Company has been dismissed from or settled a large number of these cases. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the related amounts were$1.5 million and$0.2 million, respectively, which are recorded within "Accrued expenses" and "Other liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company also presently believes that none of the pending cases will have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Other

The Company is also a party to routine contract and employment-related litigation matters, warranty claims and routine audits of state and local tax returns arising in the ordinary course of its business.

The final outcome and impact of open matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. The Company records accruals for estimated losses relating to claims and lawsuits when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the related amounts were$0.8 million and$0.1 million, respectively, which are recorded within "Accrued expenses" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company has $1.0 million recorded within "Accounts payable" as of June 30, 2025 related to the settlement of a litigation matter. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

The Company is not aware of any pending claims or assessments, other than as described above, which may have a material adverse impact on its liquidity, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
