Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 38
- Manufacturing - Risk 1Project backlog amounts may be uncertain indicators of future revenues as project realization may be subject to unexpected adjustments, delays and cancellations.
Project cancellations or scope modifications may occur that could reduce the amount of our project backlog and the associated revenues and profits that we earn. Our projects generally provide our customers with the right to terminate existing contracts unilaterally at their convenience as long as they compensate us for work already completed and compensate us for the additional costs incurred by us to terminate corresponding subcontracts, terminate equipment orders, and demobilize and vacate construction sites. These costs would most likely be meaningful. Should any unexpected delay, suspension or termination of the work under such projects occur, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Although we believe that the customer commitments represented by project backlog are firm, we cannot guarantee that amounts in project backlog will be recognized as future revenues or will result in profitable operating results.
- Manufacturing - Risk 2If we guarantee the timely completion or the performance of a project, we could incur additional costs to fulfill such obligations.
In certain of our fixed-price long-term contracts, we guarantee that we will complete a project by a scheduled date. Sometimes, we commit that the project, when completed, will also achieve certain performance standards. Subsequently, we may fail to complete the project on time or equipment that we install may not meet guaranteed performance standards. In those cases, we may be held responsible for costs incurred by the customer resulting from any delay or any modification to the plant made for the purpose of achieving the performance standards, generally in the form of contractually agreed-upon liquidated damages or obligations to re-perform substandard work. If we are required to pay such costs, the total costs of the project could exceed our original estimate, and we could experience reduced profits or a loss related to the applicable project.
- Manufacturing - Risk 3Failure to maintain safe work sites could result in significant losses as we work on projects that are inherently dangerous.
Our project sites can place our employees and others near large and/or mechanized equipment, high voltage electrical equipment, moving vehicles, dangerous processes or highly regulated materials, and in challenging environments. Consequently, safety is a primary focus of our business and is critical to our reputation. Many of our customers require that we meet certain safety criteria to be eligible to bid on contracts. Further, regulatory changes implemented by OSHA or similar government agencies could impose additional costs on us. We maintain programs with the primary purpose of implementing effective health, safety and environmental procedures throughout our company. If we fail to implement appropriate safety procedures and/or if our procedures fail, our employees or others may suffer injuries or illness. The failure to comply with such procedures, client contracts or applicable regulations could subject us to losses and liability, and could adversely impact our ability to complete awarded projects as planned, obtain projects in the future, or recruit and retain qualified craft labor.
