MS provides solutions designed to serve clients’ unique needs during both the operational (onstream) and off-line states of their assets. Our onstream services include our range of standard to custom-engineered leak repair and composite solutions; emissions control and compliance; hot tapping and line stopping; and on-line valve insertion solutions, which are delivered while assets are in an operational condition, which maximizes client production time. Asset shutdowns can be planned, such as a turnaround maintenance event, or unplanned, such as those due to component failure or equipment breakdowns. Our specialty maintenance, turnaround and outage services are designed to minimize client downtime and are primarily delivered while assets are off-line and often through the use of cross-certified technicians, whose multi-craft capabilities deliver the production needed

MS provides onstream services engineered to keep client assets on-line and producing, and specialty maintenance, turnaround and outage services, which are performed while assets are off-line, and are designed to reduce client downtime. These core MS services describedlisted below are delivered in on-call, project-managed, and full-time nested capacities.

Our industrial services are marketed principally by personnel based at our service locations. We believe that these service locations are situated to facilitate timely responses to client needs with on-call expertise, which is an important feature of selling and providing our services. The capacity and capability scope of our discrete and integrated services also allows us to benefit from the procurement trends of many of our clients who are seeking to reduce the number of contractors and vendors in their facilities, as well as to outsource more of such services. No single client accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Generally, clients are billed on a time and materials basis, although some work may be performed pursuant to a fixed-price bid. Services are usually performed pursuant to purchase orders issued under written client agreements. While most purchase orders provide for the performance of a single job, some provide for services to be performed on a run-and-maintain basis. Substantially all our agreements and contracts may be terminated by either party on short notice. The agreements generally specify the range of services to be performed and the hourly rates for labor.labor and equipment. While many contracts cover specific plants or locations, we also enter into multiple-site regional or national contracts which cover multiple plants or locations.

In general, competition stems from a large number of other outside service contractors. More than 100 different competitors are currently active in our markets. We believe we have a competitive advantage over most service contractors due to the quality, training and experience of our technicians, our rigorous safety training and procedures, our North America and increasingly international service capability, the breadth and depth of our services, our ability to provide such services on an integrated, more turnkey basis, and our technical engineered support coupled with our manufacturing capabilities supporting the service network.

We experience some seasonal fluctuations. Historically, the refining industry has scheduled plant shutdowns (commonly referred to as “turnarounds”) for the fall and spring seasons. The power industry follows a similar seasonal schedule for their plant maintenance. The timing of large turnarounds or outages can significantly impact our revenues. The pipeline industry follows and depends in part on weather conditions where the ability to access pipeline infrastructure for or after inspections may be impeded by more severe cold weather conditions.

A significant portion of our business activities are subject to foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations. These regulations are administered by various foreign, federal, state and local health and safety and environmental agencies and authorities, including OSHAOccupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) of the U.S. Department of Labor and the EPA.U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”). Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may involve civil and criminal liability. From time to time, we are also subject to a wide range of reporting requirements, certifications and compliance as prescribed by various federal and state governmental agencies that include, but are not limited to, the EPA, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Chemical Safety Board,OSHA, the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration. Also, many states where we operate regulate health, safety and environmental activities, such as California OSHA and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Expenditures relating to such regulations are made in the normal course of our business and are neither material nor place us at any competitive disadvantage. We do not currently expect that compliance with such laws and regulations will require us to make material expenditures.

From time to time, during the operation of our environmental consulting and engineering services, the assets of which were sold in 1996, we handled small quantities of certain hazardous wastes or other substances generated by our clients. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (the “Superfund Act”), the EPA is authorized to take administrative and judicial action to either cause parties who are responsible under the Superfund Act for cleaning up any unauthorized release of hazardous substances to do so, or to clean up such hazardous substances and to seek reimbursement of the costs thereof from the responsible parties, who are jointly and severally liable for such costs under the Superfund Act. The EPA may also bring suit for treble damages from responsible parties who unreasonably refuse to voluntarily participate in such a clean-up or funding thereof. Similarly, private parties who bear the costs of cleanup may seek to recover all or part of their costs from responsible parties in cost recovery or contribution actions. Responsible parties include anyone who owns or operates the facility where the release occurred (either currently and/or at the time such hazardous substances were disposed of), or who by contract arranges for disposal, treatment, transportation for disposal or treatment of a hazardous substance, or who accepts hazardous substances for transport to disposal or treatment facilities selected by such person from which there is a release. We believe that our risk of liability is minimal since our environmental consulting and engineering services consisted solely of maintaining and storing small samples of materials for laboratory analysis that are classified as hazardous. Due to its prohibitive costs, we accordingly do not currently carry insurance to cover ourany potential liabilities under the Superfund Act or similar environmental statutes.

AsDue to the seasonal nature of December 31, 2022,our business, our employee headcount varies during the year. During 2023, we hadaveraged approximately 5,2005,400 employees, with approximately 3,9004,050 employed in the United States and 1,3001,350 internationally.

We have developed diversity focused strategies through internal initiatives and collaboration with the career centers at the universities where we recruit. We recruit diverse candidate populations through targeted outreach efforts and collaborations with the Society of Women Engineers (“SWE”), Society of Hispanic Engineering’s (“SHPE”) and National Society of Black Engineers (“NSBE”) programs, as well as recruiting at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

In 2019, we introduced ourWe have “12 Life Saving Rules” across our organization to further enhance our safety focused culture. The 12 Life Saving Rules are clear and simple rules designed to address those activities that put our employees at the greatest risk. The rules include both encouraged behaviors as well as discouraged behaviors. All our employees receive online training on the rules and must acknowledge that they have read them. The rules are posted internally, communicated throughout our organization through our safety bulletins, and are printed in multiple languages. In 2022 we enhanced our 12 Life Saving Rules by establishing our 5 Hand Safety Rules. These rules are specific to those high hazard tasks where the opportunity for hand injury is most prevalent. These rules remind our work force about hand placement, proper guarding, and when to get assistance. In 2022 we achieved the second-best safety performance in the Company’s history.

We recognize the importance of providing training to continually support career growth and development. Our talent management and professional development programs are designed to empower and inspire our team members to personalize their career journeys by building critical job skills, gaining hands-on experience, providing ongoing access to world class training, assigning relevant career mentors and paving the way toward career paths that provide long-term advancement within our organization.

Periodically, our employees participate in our engagement surveysurveys, which providesprovide us with valuable insight as we seek to improve our overall employee engagement and satisfaction. Acting upon employee feedback generated from the engagement

Across the globe, we strive to provide our employees with competitive wages, salaries and benefits based upon employee skills, experience and job levels.

On November 1, 2022, we entered into the Board Rights Agreement (the “Board“APSC Board Rights Agreement”) with Atlantic Park Strategic Capital Fund, L.P. (“APSC”), pursuant to which APSC, acting as investor representative on behalf of itself and its affiliates that beneficially own our common stock (such affiliates, together with APSC, the “Investors”“APSC Investors”), may, subject to common stock ownership thresholds and other terms provided in the APSC Board Rights Agreement, designate an individual to serve as a non-voting observer at all meetings of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) and nominate an individual designated by APSC to serve on the Board (the “Investor“APSC Investor Director”). The right to nominate the APSC Investor Director is subject to certain qualification requirements and the discretion of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee under limited circumstances. The APSC Investors’ rights under the APSC Board Rights Agreement are a continuation of existing rights under the Termthat certain term loan credit agreement dated December 18, 2020 (the “Term Loan Credit AgreementAgreement”) and that certain commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated as of November 9, 2021, by and among us, Corre Partners Management, LLC (“Corre”) and APSC in the event obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement cease to be outstanding. The APSC Investors are not permitted to designate, in the aggregate, more than one non-voting board observer and more than one APSC Investor Director under the APSC Board Rights Agreement, the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Commitment

In the event of the resignation, death or removal (for cause or otherwise) of the APSC Investor Director from the Board, APSC, acting on behalf of the APSC Investors, will have the right, but not the obligation, to designate a successor APSC Investor Director to the Board to fill the resulting vacancy on the Board (and any applicable committee thereof), subject to certain qualification requirements specified in the APSC Board Rights Agreement.

Extended periods of low prices for crude oil can have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. While we continue our efforts to expand our market presence in the areas of aerospace and defense, construction, chemical processing, manufacturing, power generation, and public infrastructure, among other industries, economic downturns within the oil and gas industry including falling crude oil prices, have resulted in, and could in the future, result in reduction inreduced demand for our services.

GAAP requires that we evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets subject to amortization each reporting period. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. To the extent the revised useful life of an intangible asset is less than originally estimated, our future amortization expense will increase, which could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

We may also decide to reduce, suspend or terminate our cost savingcost-saving and business improvement initiatives at any time before achieving the estimated benefits or after a limited period of time. The elimination of current employees can also result in increased future costs in hiring, training and mobilizing new employees or rehires in the event of a future increase in demand for our services, resulting in a slower recovery of results from operations. Our initiatives may negatively affect our ability to retain and attract qualified personnel, who may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us.

While we may create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding ESG matters from time to time, certainwe could be criticized for the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the disclosure related to our ESG-related practices and initiatives, commitments and goals, and progress against those goals. Certain statements in those voluntary disclosures are based on hypothetical expectations and assumptions that may not be representative of current or actual risks or events or forecasts of expected risks or events, including the costs associated therewith. Such expectations and assumptions are necessarily uncertain and may be prone to error or subject to misinterpretation given the long timelines involved and lack of an established, single approach to identifying, measuring and reporting on many ESG issues. If our ESG-related data, processes or reporting are incomplete or inaccurate, or if we fail to achieve progress with respect to our goals within the scope of ESG on a timely basis, or at all, our reputation could be adversely affected.

In addition, organizations that provide rating information to investors on ESG matters may assign unfavorable ratings to Team or our industries, which may lead to negative investor sentiment and the diversion of investment to other companies or industries, which could have a negative impact on our stock price and our costs of capital. To the extent ESG matters negatively impact our reputation, we may not be able to compete as effectively to recruit or retain employees, which may adversely affect our operations. Such ESG matters may also impact our customers, which may result in reduced demand for certain of our products and services.

Our ability to meet expenses and debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors. If we do not generate enough cash to pay our debt service obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our debt, sell assets, borrow more money or raise additional equity capital.

Our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants pursuant to the debt instruments we are party to is dependent upon our future operating performance and future financial condition, both of which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Additionally, these risks and uncertainties may, among other factors, impact our ability to generate cash flows from operations, access the capital markets on acceptable terms or at all, and affect our future need or ability to borrow under our 2022 ABL Credit Facility. In addition to our current sources of funding our business, the effects of such events may impact our liquidity or our need to revise our allocation or sources of capital, implement further cost reduction measures and/or change our business strategy.

We rely primarily on cash flows from our operations to make required interest and principal payments on our debt. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations, we may be unable to pay interest and principal obligations on our debt when they become due. Failure to comply with these obligations or failure to comply with the financial covenants discussed above could result in an event of default, which would permit our lenders to accelerate the repayment of the debt. If our lenders accelerate the repayment of debt, there is no assurance that we could refinance such debt on terms favorable to us or at all.

Furthermore, we and our third-party providers rely on electronic communications and information systems to conduct our operations. We and our third-party providers have been, and may continue to be, targeted by parties using fraudulent e-mails and other communications in attempts to misappropriate bank account information, passwords, or other personal information or to introduce viruses or other malware to our information systems. We currently maintain insurance related to cybersecurity breaches and are exploring a range of steps to enhance our security protections and prevent future unauthorized activity. Though we endeavor to mitigate these threats, cyber-attacks against us or our third-party providers and business partners remain a serious issue. The pervasiveness of cybersecurity incidents in general and the risks of cyber-crime are complex and continue to evolve. Fortunately, our cybersecurity posture continued to improve in 2022. Several cybersecurity areas were automated, including a significant increase in automation of system patching. Additionally, the company's attack surface was reduced by blocking remote logins from known high risk countries and physical logins by non-company devices at major company locations.

The Organization for Economic CooperationCo-operation and Development’s (“OECD”Development (the “OECD”), an international association comprised of 38 countries, including the United States, has issued proposals that change long-standing tax principles including on a global minimum tax initiative. On December 12, 2022, the European Union member states agreed to implement the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project has resulted(BEPS) 2.0 Pillar Two global corporate minimum tax rate of 15% on companies with revenues over a specific threshold, which would go into effect in considerable new reporting obligations worldwide as OECD member countries2024. To date, various jurisdictions have implemented its guidance. Theenacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation on these rules, and the OECD continues to publish guidance pursuantrelease additional guidance. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to BEPSadopt the minimum tax directive, certain countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, and other projects which, if adoptedcountries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement the minimum tax directive. Further, the OECD issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules that could delay the impact of the minimum tax directive. We will continue to monitor the implementation of these rules by member countries, may affect our tax positions in many of the countries in which we do business.operate.

Our future effective tax rates could also be adversely affected by changes in tax laws, both domestically and internationally, or the interpretation of application thereof. From time to time, the U.S. Congress and foreign, state and local governments consider legislation that could increase our effective tax rate. On August 16, 2022, legislation commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was signed into law. Among other things, the IRA includes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases, applicable to repurchases after December 31, 2022, as well as a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax based on book income. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impacts of the IRA on us. Our analysis of the effect of the IRA on us is ongoing and incomplete, and it is possible that the IRA (or implementing regulations, which have not yet been issued, and initial guidance, which was issued on December 27, 2022) could adversely impact our current and deferred federal tax liability. We cannot determine whether, or in what form, other future tax legislation will ultimately be enacted or what impact any such legislation could have on our profitability.

We are also currently subject to audit in various jurisdictions, and these jurisdictions may assess additional income or other tax liabilities against us. Developments in an audit, litigation, or the relevant laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations could have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows in the period or periods for which that development occurs, as well as for prior and subsequent periods.

Finally, most scientistsScientists have concluded that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere may produce physical effects of climate change, such as increased severity and frequency of storms, droughts, floods and other climate events. Such climate events have the potential to adversely affect our operations or those of our clients or suppliers, including by damaging our manufacturing facilities, disrupting our supply chain and causing our suppliers to incur significant costs in responding to such impacts, which in turn could have a negative effect on us, including by adversely impacting our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Such events, if increasing in their severity and frequency, may also adversely affect our ability to insure against the risks associated with such events, thus leading to greater financial risk for us in the conduct of our operations against the backdrop of such events.

We provide our services globally through more than 150140 locations and 20 countries throughout the world.in 15 countries. There are several materially important physical properties used in our operations. We own a facility in Alvin, Texas that consists of our primary training facility, equipment center and ISO-9001International Organization for Standardization-9001 certified manufacturing facility for clamps, enclosures, and sealants. Additionally, we operate two manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas (one of which is owned and the other is leased), which are included in our MS segment. Further, we lease office space for our corporate headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas and leased office space for our Quest Integrity segment headquarters in Kent, Washington, until its sale on November 1, 2022.Texas. Additional district service locations considered materially important in our IHT and MS segments are as follows. We lease facilities in Mobile, Alabama; Benicia, California; Harbor City, California; Hammond, Indiana; Columbus, Ohio; Pasadena, Texas (two locations); and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We own a facility in Pasadena, Texas; a facility in Vlissingen, NetherlandsTexas and three facilities in the United Kingdom in Kendal, Carlisle and Scunthorpe.

We believe that our property and equipment are adequate for our current needs, although additional investments are expected to be made for expansion of property and equipment and replacement of assets at the end of their useful lives.
