The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2019~~2020 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, ~~2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”)~~2020 as filed with the ~~SEC.~~SEC on March 3, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)~~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 ~~2019~~ Form ~~10-K filed with the SEC.~~10-K.

~~On January 30,~~A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. On March 11, 2020, the WHO classified thecharacterized COVID-19 ~~outbreak~~ as a ~~pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.~~pandemic. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~July 31, 2021, the virus continues to spread and has had a significant impact on worldwide economic activity and on macroeconomic conditions and the end markets of our business. No vaccine is currently available. The Company has instituted some and may take additional temporary precautionary measures to comply with government directives and guidelines and minimize business disruption.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It is currently unclear if and how the Company will benefit from the CARES Act in the future, but we continue to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

The outbreak and a continued spread of COVID-19 has resulted in a substantial curtailment of business activities worldwide and has caused weakened economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad. Although vaccines are available in various countries where we operate, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a negative impact on the Company's ongoing operations and the end markets in which it serves. However, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this ~~filing. As~~filing, and as such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the pandemic on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

2.	New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~August 2018,~~December 2019, the FASB issued ASU ~~2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20)~~No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): ~~Disclosure Framework—Changes~~Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes.

The new guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and requires new ones that the FASB considers pertinent.improve consistent application. ASU ~~2018-14~~2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, ~~2021. The Company is evaluating the~~2021 and did not have a material impact ~~of the adoption of ASU 2018-14~~ on ~~its consolidated~~our financial statements.

Balances billed but not paid by customers under retainage provisions in contracts within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets amounted to approximately ~~$1.3~~$1.9 million and ~~$0.9~~$1.5 million at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Retainage receivables on contracts in progress are generally collected within a year after contract completion.

Bad debt expense was approximately ~~$0.4~~$0.1 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$0.5~~$0.1 million and ~~$0.4~~$0.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

Amounts credited to the allowance for obsolete inventory and charged to cost of sales amounted to $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and ~~2019,~~$0.2 million and $0.3 ~~million and $0.4~~ million for the six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

5.	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Activity for the six-months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 is as follows:

Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets was ~~$1.8~~$1.7 million and ~~$2.2~~$1.8 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively and ~~$3.5~~$3.4 million and ~~$4.3~~$3.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Amortization over the next five years for finite life intangibles is expected to be ~~$3.8~~$3.3 million for the remainder of ~~2020, $6.3 million in~~ 2021, ~~$5.4~~$5.8 million in 2022, ~~$4.6~~$5.0 million in 2023, ~~and $3.9~~$4.3 million in ~~2024.~~2024, and $3.2 million in 2025.

During the six-month period ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2021, the Company reassessed the useful lives of certain tradenames and determined that ~~$3.9~~$3.2 million of their tradenames would have useful lives of 10 years now versus indefinite.

The Company completes an annual (or more often if circumstances require) goodwill and indefinite life intangible asset impairment assessment on October 1. As a part of its impairment 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 or indefinite life intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If there is a qualitative determination that the fair value is more likely than not greater than the carrying value, the Company does not need to quantitatively test for impairment. If this qualitative assessment indicates a more likely than not potential that the asset may be impaired, the estimated fair value is calculated. If the estimated fair value is less than carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded.

~~In 2019, we performed a quantitative assessment~~As of June 30, 2021, we reviewed our previous forecasts and concluded each of our reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets had excess fair value over their carrying value. We determined negative macroeconomic factors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event as of March 31, 2020 andassumptions based on ~~a qualitative assessment determined that~~ our ~~goodwill~~current projections, which are subject to various risks and ~~indefinite life intangible assets were not impaired. The~~uncertainties, including projected revenue, projected operational profit, terminal growth rates, and the cost of capital. The Company did not identify any triggering events during the ~~three month~~three-month period ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 that would require an interim impairment assessment of goodwill or intangible assets.

The Company’s assumptions about future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 analyses ~~accordingly~~.accordingly.

6.	Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Scheduled principal payments under our Credit Facility are ~~$1.3~~$1.9 million remaining ~~in 2020, $3.1 million~~ in 2021, $3.7 million in 2022, $4.4 million in 2023, and ~~$67.0~~$58.6 million in 2024.

Total unused credit availability under the Company’s senior secured term loan and senior secured revolver loan with sub-facilities for letters of credit, swing-line loans and senior secured multi-currency loans (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) was ~~$88.5~~$45.6 million and ~~$82.3~~$60.8 million at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until June 11, 2024, at which time all outstanding balances of the Credit Facility must be repaid.

The weighted average stated interest rate on outstanding borrowings was ~~2.36%~~2.22% and ~~3.80%~~2.31% at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. Through September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is ~~3.75,~~3.50, after which time ~~it will decrease to 3.50 through September 30, 2021. The~~the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio will then decrease to 3.25 until the end of the term of the Credit Facility.

8.	Earnings per Share

The computational components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods ended June 30, are below.

The computational components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the six-month periods ended June 30, are below.

Options and restricted stock units included in the computation of diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, 0.6~~1.9 million and ~~0.4~~0.6 million, respectively, and during ~~each of~~ the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 1.7 million and ~~2019,~~ 0.5 million, respectively, of outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their having an anti-dilutive effect.

Once a restricted stock unit vests, it is included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share.

9.	Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for share-based awards, measured at the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Company recognized ~~$0.2~~$0.9 million and ~~$1.0~~$0.2 million of share-based compensation related expense during the three-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$0.8~~$1.6 million and ~~$1.8~~$0.8 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

The Company granted approximately ~~503,000~~460,000 and ~~64,000~~503,000 restricted stock units during the three-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and approximately ~~503,000~~460,000 and ~~464,000~~503,000 restricted stock units during the six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of restricted stock units granted was estimated at ~~$5.44~~$8.59 and ~~$7.49~~$5.44 per unit during the six-months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The fair value of ~~time-based~~2021 and ~~2019 performance-based~~2020 time-based restricted stock units was determined by using the value of stock in the open market on the date of grant. The fair value of the 2021 and 2020 performance-based restricted stock units was determined by using the Monte Carlo valuation model.

The fair value of the stock-based awards granted is recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the awards.

There were 02,000 and ~~approximately 1,000~~0 options exercised during the six-months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The Company received approximately ~~$7,000~~$13,000 from ~~employees~~a non-employee director exercising options during the six-months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2021. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the six-months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2021 was approximately ~~$1,000.~~$3,000.

10.	Pension and Employee Benefit Plans

We sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain union employees. The plan is funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for office employees retired before January 1, 1990. The plan allowed retirees who attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired.

We present the components of net periodic benefit cost (gain) within “Other income” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Retirement and health care plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the expense consisted of the following:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,						Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

We made contributions to our defined benefit plans of 0 and approximately $0.1 million ~~and $0.2~~ during the six-months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. For the remainder of ~~2020,~~2021, we ~~have elected~~do not expect to ~~defer further~~make any contributions to fund the pension plan ~~and~~or the retiree health care ~~plan until January 2021.~~plan. The unfunded liability of the plans of ~~$8.7~~$9.6 million and ~~$8.9~~$9.7 million as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, is included in “Other liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We file income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. Tax years from ~~2016~~2017 forward remain open for examination by Federal authorities. Tax years from ~~2014~~2015 forward remain open for all significant state and foreign authorities.

We account for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $0.2 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million, respectively, which is included in “Other liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, in income tax expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Certain of the Company’s undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested. 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, we intend to repatriate foreign-held cash as needed. We record deferred income tax attributable to foreign withholding taxes that would become payable should we decide to repatriate cash held in our foreign operations. As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we have recorded deferred income taxes of approximately ~~$0.6~~$1.2 million and ~~$0.7~~$0.9 million, respectively, on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. ~~A significant portion of the previously undistributed earnings to which the deferred income taxes were attributable were repatriated in 2019.~~

Income tax expense was $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $0.8 million for the first six months of 2021 compared with income tax expense of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $1.3 million for the first six months of ~~2020 compared with income tax benefit of $4.2~~ ~~million for the second quarter of 2019 and $3.3 million for the first six months of 2019.~~2020. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~14.8%~~34.3% compared with ~~(303.7%)~~14.8% for the second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~16.8%~~30.9% compared with ~~(81.3%)~~16.8% for the first six months of ~~2019.~~2020. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 is ~~lower~~higher than the United States federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation, the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income deduction, tax credits, and differences in tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate. ~~The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended~~ ~~June 30, 2019 were negative (i.e. income tax benefits), despite pre-tax income, due~~

~~primarily to a tax benefit of $4.4 million from a tax position related to the 2018 divesture of Jiangyin Zhongli Industrial Technology Co. Ltd.~~

12.	Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, foreign debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, due to their short-term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates.

The fair value of the debt issued under the Credit Facility was ~~$79.5~~$68.6 million and ~~$67.3~~$74.0 million at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

At June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$41.5~~$32.2 million and ~~$35.6~~$36.0 million, respectively, of which ~~$33.2~~$25.2 million and ~~$27.0~~$28.0 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, China, and Canada.

13.	Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters

Our subsidiary, Met-Pro Technologies LLC (“Met-Pro”), beginning in 2002, began to be named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. In management’s opinion, the complaints typically have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that Met-Pro, along with the numerous other defendants, sold unidentified asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including death) and loss to the plaintiffs. Counsel has advised that more recent cases typically allege more serious claims of mesothelioma. 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 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. Cumulative settlement payments from 2002 through June 30, ~~2020~~2021 for cases involving asbestos-related claims were ~~$3.1~~$3.5 million, of which, together with all legal fees other than corporate counsel expenses, ~~$2.9~~$3.3 million has been paid by the Company’s insurers. The average cost per settled claim, excluding legal fees, was approximately $34,000.

Based upon the most recent information available to the Company regarding such claims, there were a total of ~~194~~216 cases pending against the Company as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 (with Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia having the largest number of cases), as compared with ~~209~~200 cases that were pending as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. During the six-months ended June 30, ~~2020, 38~~2021, 55 new cases were filed against the Company, and the Company was dismissed from 4931 cases and settled 48 cases. Most of the pending cases have not advanced beyond the early stages of discovery, although a number of cases are on schedules leading to or scheduled for trial. The Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate for the cases currently pending against the Company and for the foreseeable future, assuming a continuation of the current volume, nature of cases and settlement amounts. However, the Company has no control over the number and nature of cases that are filed against it, nor as to the financial health of its insurers or their position as to coverage. 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.

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. In accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies”, and related guidance, we record 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. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

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

On June 4, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Environmental Integrated Solutions (“EIS”) for $10.3 million in cash, which was financed ~~with an additional draw on~~through our revolving credit facility. As additional consideration, the former owners are entitled to earn-out payments based upon a multiple of specified financial results through December 31, 2021. Based on projections at the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the earn-out to be $0.6 ~~million;~~million. During 2020, the ~~earn-out~~Company increased the earnout liability isto $1.7 million at December 31, 2020 based on the estimated fair value at that date. During 2021, the Company increased the estimated earnout fair value an additional $0.5 million and made earnout payments of $0.8 million related to 2020 performance. The changes in fair value were a result of EIS performing above acquisition operational expectations. As of June 30, 2021 the earnout liability recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance ~~Sheets.~~Sheets is $1.4 million.

EIS engineers products that clean air through a variety of technologies including volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) abatement, odor control, and other air pollution control solutions, which complements our Industrial Solutions Segment businesses. The following table summarizes the ~~approximate~~ fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of closing.

(table only in thousands)
Current assets (including cash of $4,212)	$	6,416
Property and equipment		26
Other assets		44
Goodwill		7,022
Intangible - finite life		4,840
Total assets acquired		18,348
Current liabilities assumed		(6,514	)
Deferred income tax liability		(920	)
Net assets acquired	$	10,914

The approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the above acquisition are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as we finalize the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such changes could result in material variances between the Company’s future financial results, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items.

Goodwill recognized represents value the Company expects to be created by combining the various operations of the acquired businesses with the Company’s operations, including the expansion into markets within existing business segments, access to new customers and potential cost savings and synergies. Goodwill related to this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company acquired customer lists and tradename intangible assets valued at $4.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These assets were determined to have useful lives of 10 years.

Acquisition and integration expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are related to acquisition activities, which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, EIS accounted for ~~$0.5~~$5.5 million and $8.1 million in revenue, respectively and ~~$0.2~~$0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively of net income included in the Company’s results.

On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (“JV Agreement”) with Mader Holdings L.P. (“Mader”) in which CECO contributed the net assets of its Effox-Flextor damper business and Mader contributed the net assets of their damper business. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, CECO holds 70% of the equity in the joint venture, and 50% voting interest. We determined CECO was the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity and therefore the 30% noncontrolling equity interest is in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

15.	Business Segment Information

The Company’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along with its ~~product lines~~solutions or end ~~market~~markets that the segment serves and ~~are~~ presented in ~~three~~two reportable segments. During the first quarter of 2021, management determined that a realignment of the Company’s segments was necessary to better reflect the solutions we provide, and the end markets we serve. As a result of this realignment, we combined the operating results of the prior Industrial Solutions segment and Fluid Handling Solutions segment into a single reportable segment named the Industrial Process Solutions segment. In addition, the Energy Solutions segment was renamed the Engineered Systems segment. The results of the segments are reviewed through the “Income from operations” line on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company’s reportable segments are organized as groups of similar products and services, as described as follows:

~~Energy Solutions~~Engineered Systems segment: Our Engineered Systems segment, formerly known as the Energy Solutions segment, serves the ~~Energy market, where we~~power generation, refinery, water/waste water, and midstream oil & gas markets.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

No vaccine is currently available. Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel, temporarily close businesses and issue quarantine orders, and it remains unclear how long such measures will remain in place or whether efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 will continue to intensify.

~~On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).

maintain ongoing operations. Within the United States, certain portions of our business have been designated an essential business, and we continue to operate our business in compliance with applicable state and local laws. This allows us to continue to serve our customers, however, the COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted our global operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the risk of work stoppages at our facilities or those of our suppliers. Certain of our facilitieslaws and our suppliers have experienced temporary disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we cannot predict whether our facilities will experience more significant disruptions in the future or the impact on our suppliers.

CECO has undertaken necessary measures in compliance with government directives to remain open across its business and continues to work closely with its global supply chain to proactively support customers during this critical time. As a key supplier to critical infrastructure projects, CECO has worked to maintain ongoing essential operations while are observing recommended ~~CDC~~Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to minimize the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus including implementing, where possible, work-from-home procedures and additional sanitization efforts where facilities remain open to provide necessary services. ~~Additionally, CECO has taken several proactive cost reduction measures in response~~ This allows us to ~~the economic pressures brought on by~~continue to serve our customers, however, the COVID-19 ~~pandemic.

~~The impact~~result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~is fluid~~ and we continue to work closely with our global supply chain to proactively support customers during this critical time. We cannot predict whether our facilities will experience more significant disruptions in the future or the impact on our suppliers.

The senior management team meets regularly to review and assess the status of the Company's operations and the health and safety of its employees. The senior management team continues to ~~evolve,~~monitor and ~~therefore,~~manage the Company’s ability to operate effectively and, to date, the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions within its supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although vaccines are available in various countries where we operate, health concern risks remain and notwithstanding the Company's continued efforts, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic could further impact or operations and the operations of our suppliers and venders, particularly in light of the potential of variant strains of the virus becoming more dominant and the potential resumption of high levels of infection and hospitalization. We cannot ~~currently~~ predict whether any of our manufacturing, operational or suppliers will be disrupted from these events, or how long such disruptions would last. COVID-19 has had and may have further negative impacts on its operations, customers and supply chain despite the ~~extent~~preventative and precautionary measures being taken.

On July 6, 2020, the Company also announced that, effective July 6, 2020, Mr. Todd Gleason commenced serving as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, succeeding Dennis Sadlowski. Mr. Gleason, age 49, most recently served, from April 2015 to July 2020, as President and Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Analytics Inc., a predictive analytic technologies and services company. Prior to that position, Mr. Gleason served from June 2007 to March 2015 in a number of senior officer and executive positions for Pentair plc, a water treatment company. During his tenure with Pentair, Mr. Gleason served as Senior Vice President and Corporate Officer from January 2013 to March 2015, President, Integration and Standardization from January 2010 to January 2013, and Vice President, Global Growth and Investor Relations from June 2007 to January 2010. Before joining Pentair, Mr. Gleason served as Vice President, Strategy and Investor Relations for American Standard Companies Inc. (later renamed to Trane Inc. prior to its acquisition by Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited), a global, diversified manufacturing company, and in a number of different roles (including as Chief Financial Officer, Honeywell Process Solutions) at Honeywell International Inc., a diversified technology and manufacturing company. Mr. Gleason’s qualifications to sit on the Board include his financial and business background, as well as his extensive executive and leadership experience. As the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gleason will provide the Board with insight on the day-to-day operations of the Company and the issues it faces.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These GAAP financial statements include certain charges the Company believes are not indicative of its core ongoing operational performance.

As a result, the Company provides financial information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides this ~~supplemental~~ non-GAAP financial information because the Company’s management utilizes it to evaluate its ongoing financial performance and the Company believes it provides greater transparency to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results.

The Company ~~has provided the non-GAAP financial measures of~~provides non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin ~~as a result of~~to exclude certain items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations. These ~~include transactions associated with~~items relate to the Company’s acquisitions, divestitures and the items described below in “Consolidated Results.” The Company believes that evaluation of its financial performance compared with prior and future periods can be enhanced by a presentation of results that exclude the impact of these items. The Company has incurred substantial expense and income associated with the acquisition and divestitures. While the Company cannot predict the exact timing or amounts of such charges, it does expect to treat the financial impact of these transactions as special items in its future presentation of non-GAAP results.

Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 are as follows:

During the first quarter of 2021, management determined that a realignment of the Company’s segments was necessary to better reflect the solutions we provide, and the end markets we serve. As a result of this realignment, we combined the operating results of the prior Industrial Solutions segment and Fluid Handling Solutions segment into a single reportable segment named the Industrial Process Solutions segment. In addition, the Energy Solutions segment was renamed the Engineered Systems segment. The ~~effective income tax rates~~results of the segments for the ~~three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were negative (i.e. income tax benefits), despite pre-tax income, due primarily~~prior year periods have been re-cast to ~~a tax benefit of $4.4 million from a tax position related~~reflect this re-alignment. See note 15 to the ~~2018 divesture of Jiangyin Zhongli Industrial Technology Co. Ltd.~~consolidated financial statements included in this report.

The Company’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines or end market that the segment serves and are presented in ~~three~~two reportable segments. The results of the segments are reviewed through “Income from operations” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below). Our principal uses of cash are operating costs, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding debt, working capital and other corporate requirements.

When we undertake large jobs, our working capital objective is to make these projects self-funding. We work to achieve this by obtaining initial down payments, progress billing contracts, utilizing extended payment terms from material suppliers when possible, and paying sub-contractors after payment from our customers, which is an industry practice. Our investment in net working capital is funded by cash flow from operations and by our revolving line of credit.

At June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had working capital of ~~$74.0~~$75.3 million, compared with ~~$64.3~~$74.1 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was ~~1.70~~1.72 to 1.00 on June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, as compared with a ratio of ~~1.56~~1.68 to 1.00 at December 31, 2019. The increase to the Company’s working capital is primarily attributable to increased cash and cash equivalents balance of $5.9 million and decrease of $6.3 million in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.2020.

At June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$41.5~~$32.2 million and ~~$35.6~~$36.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019, $31.2~~2020, $25.2 million and ~~$27.0~~$28.0 million, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were held by certain non- United States subsidiaries, as well as being denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company’s outstanding borrowings in the United States consist of senior secured term loan and a senior secured revolver loan with sub-facilities for letters of credit, swing-line loans and multi-currency loans (collectively, the “Credit Facility”). As of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

See Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the Company’s debt facilities.

Total unused credit availability under our existing Credit Facility is as follows:

For the six-months ended June 30, ~~2020, $2.1~~2021, $4.1 million of cash was provided by operating activities compared with ~~$(11.3)~~$2.1 million ~~used in operating activities~~ in the prior year period, a ~~$13.4~~$2.0 million increase. Cash flow from operating activities in the first six months of ~~2020~~2021 had a favorable impact year-over-year primarily due to certain ~~decreases~~improvements in net working capital items such accounts receivable and inventory offset by decreases in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.capital.

For the six-months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, net cash used in investing activities was ~~$8.1~~$(0.5) million compared with ~~$1.2~~$(8.1) million in the prior year period. ~~The $6.9~~For the six-months ended June 30, 2021, the $(0.5) million ~~increase in~~ cash used in investing activities was ~~primarily related~~ to the result of $(1.0) million cash used for the acquisition of property and equipment, offset by $0.5 million of proceeds from the disposal of assets held for sale. In the prior year period, cash flow of $(8.1) million used in investing activities was the result of $6.1 million used, net of cash acquired, for the EIS acquisition and $2.0 million used for the acquisition of property and equipment. ~~In the prior year period, cash flow used in investing activities was the result of $1.2 million for the acquisition of property and equipment.~~

Additionally, for the first ~~six months of 2020,~~six-months ended June 30, 2021 the Company used $(4.1) million for repayments on the Company’s revolving credit lines. In the prior year period, the Company had net borrowings of $13.5 million on its revolving credit facility, of which $10.3 million was used to fund the EIS acquisition on June 4, 2020, compared with net borrowings of $0.8 million the previous year period. Additionally, for the first six-months ended June 30, 2020, $(1.3) million was used in financing activities for repayments on the Company’s Term loan compared with $(1.7) million for repayments on the Company’s note payable in the first six-months of 2019. Further, in the first six months of 2019, the company paid financing fees related to the new Credit Facility of $1.1 million.2020.

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, guarantee obligations and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, assumptions used in business combination accounting and related balances, and pension and post-retirement benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management monitors the economic conditions and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Management believes there have been no changes during the six-month period ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, other than disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 ~~(the “Securities Act”)~~ and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, including statements ~~regarding industry prospects or future results of operations or financial position made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q~~about management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance. We use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “will,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Potential risks and uncertainties, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2019 and “Part II – Item 1.A. Risk Factors” of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,~~ 2020, ~~and of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020~~, and include, but are not limited to: the sensitivity of our business to economic and financial market conditions generally and economic conditions in CECO’s service areas; dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding estimates and method of accounting for revenue; the effect of growth on CECO’s infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; the ability to expand operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation; liabilities arising from faulty services or products that could result in significant professional or product liability, warranty, or other claims; changes in or developments with respect to any litigation or investigation; failure to meet timely completion or performance standards that could result in higher cost and reduced profits or, in some cases, losses on projects; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials, including as a result of tariffs and surcharges; the substantial amount of debt incurred in connection with our acquisitions and our ability to repay or refinance it or incur additional debt in the future; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; economic and political conditions generally; our ability to successfully realize the expected benefits of our restructuring program; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize the synergies from acquisitions; unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including cyber security threats, acts of

terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities or public health crises, such as uncertainties regarding the extent and duration of impacts of matters associated with the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”),

Many of these risks are beyond management’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the ~~SEC,~~Securities and Exchange Commission, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. For the Company, these exposures are primarily related to changes in interest rates. We do not currently hold any derivatives or other financial instruments purely for trading or speculative purposes.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt was ~~$79.5~~$68.6 million at June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Market risk was estimated as the potential decrease (increase) in future earnings and cash flows resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase (decrease) in the Company’s estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Most of the interest on the

Company’s debt is indexed to either the LIBOR or EURIBOR market rates. The estimated impact of a hypothetical 10% change in the estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 is $0.2 million on an annual basis.

The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in several countries, including in the Netherlands, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Mexico, United Kingdom, Singapore, Shanghai, Pune India, Dubai and Chile. In the past, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure, and fluctuations in exchange rates have not materially affected our operating results. Future changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively impact our revenues, operating expenses and earnings. Since most of our foreign sales are denominated in the local currency, we do not anticipate that exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations will be material in ~~2020.~~2021.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the first six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or

fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 13 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

~~The following disclosure supplements and modifies~~There have been no material changes in the ~~discussion of certain risks and uncertainties previously~~Company’s risk factors that we disclosed in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31,~~ 2020. These risks and uncertainties, along with those previously disclosed, could materially adversely affect our business or financial results. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we deem immaterial may also impact our business or financial results.

~~We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.~~

We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The continued spread of COVID-19 has reached geographic areas in which we have operations, suppliers, customers and employees. We expect the continued spread of COVID-19 to continue to have a significant impact on our business, affect the demand for our products and disrupt our supply chain and the manufacturing and distribution of our products. It is unknown how long these disruptions could continue and such events may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The continuing spread of COVID-19 has caused volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets. Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel, temporarily close businesses and issue quarantine orders, and it remains unclear how long such measures will remain in place or whether efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 will continue to intensify. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities or other assets. Such impacts may adversely affect the Company and your investment in the Company.

In addition to the risks described above, COVID-19 and associated economic and other impacts may also have the effect of heightening the other risks described in the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ultimate effect that COVID-19 may have on our operating and financial results is not presently known to us or may present unanticipated risks that cannot be determined at this time.
