CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions as of the date such statements are made and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms including “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “potential,” “target,” “would,” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying terms. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions and on information currently available to management and include, among others, statements concerning our expectations regarding, as of the date such statements are made: (i) economic, industry and market conditions, including as a result of inflation, and trade and geopolitical conflicts, (ii) the sufficiency of our current sources of liquidity to fund our future liquidity requirements, our expectations regarding the types of future liquidity requirements and our expectations regarding the availability of future sources of liquidity, (iii) the cost of compliance with laws and regulations, (iv) the impact of legal claims and related contingencies, and (v) estimates and liabilities regarding accounting and tax matters.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among others, (i) economic conditions affecting the industries we serve, including the construction industry and the energy sector, as well as general economic conditions; (ii) adverse developments in the credit markets that could adversely affect funding of construction projects; (iii) the ability and willingness of customers to invest in infrastructure projects; (iv) a decline in demand for our services or for the products and services of our customers; (v) the fact that our revenues are derived primarily from contracts with durations of less than six months and the risk that customers will not renew or enter into new contracts; (vi) our ability to successfully acquire other businesses, successfully integrate acquired businesses into our operations and manage the risks and potential liabilities associated with those acquisitions; (vii) our ability to compete successfully in the industries and markets we serve; (viii) our ability to properly manage and accurately estimate costs associated with specific customer projects, in particular for arrangements with fixed price terms; (ix) increases in the cost, or reductions in the supply, of the materials we use in our business and for which we bear the risk of such increases; (x) the inherently dangerous nature of the services we provide and the risks of potential liability; (xi) the seasonality of our business and the impact of weather conditions; (xii) our ability to remediate any material weaknesses; (xiii) the impact of health, safety and environmental laws and regulations, and the costs associated with compliance with such laws and regulations; (xiv) our substantial level of indebtedness and the effect of restrictions on our operations set forth in the documents that govern such indebtedness; and (xv) our compliance with certain financial maintenance covenants in the documents governing our indebtedness and the effect on our liquidity of any failure to comply with such covenants.
Please see “Risk Factors” located in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties which could affect our future results. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of those statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except to the extent we are legally required to disclose certain matters in our SEC filings or otherwise.
Overview
We are a leading provider of critical asset integrity services. We operate primarily in North America serving a broad range of industrial markets, most notably chemical, pipeline, refinery, power generation, oilsands, automotive, aerospace, mining, manufacturing, renewable energy, and pulp and paper. We provide these essential and often compliance-mandated
(often at customer locations) services in the industrial space and are focused on the recurring maintenance needs of our customers.
The work we do fits in the service category referred to as Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (“TICC”). These activities include several Nondestructive Testing (“NDT”) techniques such as radiography, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, penetrant testing, and visual inspection. NDT activities include inspection and evaluation of industrial equipment through various technology-enabled methods to ensure asset integrity, avoid costly accidents and comply with regulatory requirements without destroying the asset or component. Given the amount of activity required at heights in the industrial space, we provide market leading RAT solutions to reach difficult areas without scaffolding. The work on ropes at heights extends beyond inspection and testing to include industrial trades such as insulation, coatings and blasting, welding, pipe fitting, hoisting and rigging, and electrical services. We offer these trades in a niche way where RAT solutions are optimal (cost efficient and/or schedule enhancing) and where we can provide quality services without compromising safety. Our TICC services also include support from consulting engineers with in-lab destructive testing capabilities. Our highly specialized materials engineers support failure investigation, material selection, corrosion engineering, welding engineering, fracture mechanics, destructive testing, and chemical analysis.
We have two operating and reportable segments which are the United States and Canada. We have operations in the United Kingdom that are not considered material and are included in the United States reportable segment. Each segment is representative of the operations incurred under the respective geographic territory. Both operating segments provide the same services to a similar base of customers.
Prior to the Domestication, until the Acuren Acquisition, we were incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the British Virgin Islands with ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) listed on the London Stock Exchange. Following the Domestication, our Common Stock began trading on the OTCQX Market on December 30, 2024. We voluntarily withdrew from trading on the OTCQX Market as of February 14, 2025 and began trading on the NYSE American on February 18, 2025.
Recent Developments
Merger with NV5
On May 14, 2025, we entered into the Merger Agreement with NV5. See “Note 18. Subsequent Events” of the Notes to our unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Repricing of Term Loan
On January 31, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which, the interest rate margins for the Term Loan decreased from 2.50% to 1.75% for the base rate and from 3.50% to 2.75% for SOFR. All other material terms of the Credit Agreement, including the aggregate principal amount, repayment terms, interest rate applicable on the Revolving Credit Facility remained the same. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Facilities” for more information.
Certain Factors and Trends Affecting Acuren’s Results of Operations
Summary of Acquisitions
In addition to the Acuren Acquisition, the Company completed other acquisitions during the periods presented that also affect the comparability of results of operations.
Economic, Industry and Market Factors
We may experience increased costs associated with the recent developments around tariffs between the United States, Canada, and the UK and will continue to monitor market conditions and respond accordingly. We also have observed some impact from inflationary pressures during 2024 and into 2025. Although we look to mitigate the impact of these pressures with a combination of cost management and price initiatives, there can be no guarantee that these initiatives will be successful. There has been no direct effect on our business from the Russian-Ukrainian or the Middle Eastern conflicts, although these conflicts may have an impact on certain end markets, results of operations or liquidity or in other ways which we cannot yet determine.
