EnergySolutions, Inc.
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
(1) Description of Business
 
References herein to "EnergySolutions," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" refer to EnergySolutions, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.
  
EnergySolutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, provides a broad range of services both nationally and internationally, including (i) on-site decontamination and decommissioning ("D&D") services to commercial customers such as power and utility companies, pharmaceutical companies, research laboratories, universities, industrial facilities, state agencies and other commercial entities that are involved with nuclear materials; (ii) management and operation or clean-up of facilities with radioactive materials to government customers such as departments and administrations within the United States (the "U.S.") Department of Energy ("DOE") and U.S. Department of Defense ("DOD"); (iii) logistics, transportation, processing and disposal of radioactive waste at our one facility in Clive, Utah, our four facilities in Tennessee, or our two facilities in Barnwell, South Carolina; and (iv) comprehensive long-term stewardship D&D work for shut-down nuclear power plants and similar operations. We also provide turn-key services such as water treatment and sell other products and technologies to utilities in the U.S. and abroad. Our international operations derive revenue primarily through contracts with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority ("NDA") in the United Kingdom ("U.K.") to operate, manage and decommission ten Magnox sites with twenty-two nuclear reactors.

We report our results through two major operating groups: the Government Group and the Global Commercial Group. The Global Commercial Group reports its results under three separate operating business divisions: Commercial Services ("CS"), Logistics, Processing and Disposal ("LP&D") and International.

(2) Business Combinations

On January 7, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Rockwell Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Parent" or "Rockwell") and Rockwell Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub") established as an acquisition vehicle for the purpose of acquiring the Company. The Merger Agreement was later amended on April 5, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended, on May 24, 2013, (the "Merger Date"), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). Parent is 100% owned by Energy Capital Partners II, LP and its parallel funds ("Energy Capital" or "ECP") a leading private equity firm focused on investing in North America’s energy infrastructure.

On the Merger Date, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company (other than shares of Company common stock held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent, affiliates of Parent, Merger Sub, a subsidiary of the Company or by stockholders who had validly exercised and perfected their appraisal rights under Delaware law), was converted into the right to receive $4.15 in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes. The Company's common stock ceased to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange after close of market on May 24, 2013. The Company continues its operations as a privately-held company. The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or has had filed on its behalf, a Form 15 and Form 25 to deregister the Company's common stock under Sections 12(b) and (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), respectively, which deregistration became effective 90 days after the filing of the applicable form. Further, the Company's reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act on account of its common stock will be suspended effective January 1, 2014, at which time the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC on account of its common stock, but will continue to have public reporting obligations with the SEC with respect to its 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018, as required by the indenture governing such Senior Notes.

Prior to the Merger, under our certificate of incorporation there were 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. In connection with the completion of the Merger,
all shares of common stock outstanding at the time of the Merger were canceled and our certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize only 100 shares of common stock, all of which are currently outstanding and owned by Parent. There are no shares of preferred stock authorized under our new amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Table of Contents

We refer to the May 24, 2013 acquisition of EnergySolutions by Rockwell as the "Merger Transaction". The following events describe the transactions that occurred in connection with the Merger Transaction:

Parent and EnergySolutions purchased and retired all of the Company's outstanding common stock as of the Merger Date and paid approximately $383.9 million in cash to the Company's stockholders. Of the total amount paid, EnergySolutions directly purchased 1.8 million shares for $7.3 million from cash on hand. The 1.8 million shares were issued as a result of accelerated vesting of previously issued restricted stock awards due to change in control.

Parent paid $10.9 million of Merger Transaction related costs on behalf of EnergySolutions. Payments made by Parent on the Company's behalf were accounted for as capital contributions. Of the $10.9 million transaction costs, approximately $3.1 million was capitalized as debt issuance costs and the remainder was expensed on the Merger Date and is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.

EnergySolutions incurred $32.6 million of Merger Transaction related expenses. These expenses were comprised primarily of employee incentive compensation and related payroll taxes of $21.0 million and professional fees of $11.6 million. These expenses were included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under cost of revenue and SG&A expenses.

The Merger Transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization, and accordingly, the Company will continue to apply its historical basis of accounting in its stand-alone financial statements after the Merger. This is based on our determination under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") accounting standards codification Topic 805 - Business Combinations, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 54, codified as Topic 5J, Push Down Basis of Accounting Required In Certain Limited Circumstances, that while the push down of Parent's basis in EnergySolutions is permissible, it was not required due to the existence of significant outstanding public debt securities at EnergySolutions.

(3) Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "2012 Annual Report").

In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

 We have majority voting rights for one of our minority-owned joint ventures. Accordingly, we have consolidated its operations in our consolidated financial statements and therefore, we recorded the noncontrolling interests, which reflect the portion of the earnings of operations which are applicable to other noncontrolling partners. Assets from our consolidated joint venture can only be used to settle its own obligations. Additionally, our assets cannot be used to settle the joint ventures’ obligations because this minority owned joint venture does not have recourse to our general credit.

(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting Pronouncements Issued
 
New accounting pronouncements implemented by the company during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below or elsewhere in the notes, where appropriate.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance related to presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance eliminates diversity in practice for presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit

8

Table of Contents

carryforward is available to reduce the taxable income or tax payable that would result from disallowance of a tax position. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. The Company intends to adopt this guidance at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2014, and is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance related to foreign currency matters. The standard update addresses the accounting for the release of cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a business unit or a group of assets that do not produce a profit within a foreign entity. Under such circumstances, a parent company is required to release any related currency adjustments to earnings. The currency adjustment is released into earnings only if the sale or transfer results in a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in question. The standard update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an update to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in the update did not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. The new amendments require an organization to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. Additionally, for other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP to provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(5) Trust Fund Investments
 
The Nuclear Decommissioning Trust ("NDT") fund was established solely to satisfy obligations related to the D&D of the Zion Station. The NDT fund holds investments in marketable debt and equity securities directly and indirectly through commingled funds. Investments in the NDT fund are carried at fair value and are classified as trading securities. We consolidate the NDT fund as a variable interest entity ("VIE"). We have a contractual interest in the NDT fund and this interest is a variable interest due to its exposure to the fluctuations caused by market risk. We are able to control the NDT fund by appointing the trustee and, subject to certain restrictions, we are able to direct the investment policies of the fund. We are the primary beneficiary of the NDT fund as we benefit from positive market returns and bear the risk of market losses.

Investments held by the NDT fund, net, totaled $471.1 million and $598.5 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and are included in current and other long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, depending on the expected timing of usage of funds. We have withdrawn from the NDT fund approximately 124.7 million and 127.2 million for nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to pay for Zion Station D&D project expenses and estimated trust income taxes. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we also paid approximately $3.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in fees associated with the management of the NDT fund investments. These fees are included in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
 
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded $0.6 million of unrealized losses and $12.1 million of unrealized gains, respectively, resulting from adjustments to the fair value of the NDT fund investments. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded $26.5 million of unrealized losses and $19.0 million of unrealized gains, respectively, resulting from adjustments to the fair value of the NDT investments.

Net realized gains related to sales of investments, dividends and interest payments received from investments held by the NDT fund were $4.4 million and $8.2 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $27.4 million and $36.0 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Both, unrealized and realized gains and losses on the NDT fund investments are included in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(6) Fair Value Measurements
 
We have implemented the accounting requirements for financial assets, financial liabilities, non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities reported or disclosed at fair value. The requirements define fair value, establish a three level hierarchy for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents

This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.
 
The carrying value of accounts receivable, costs, and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, prepaid assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value principally because of the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.
 
The fair market value of our term loan is estimated utilizing market quotations for debt that have quoted prices in active markets. Since our term loan does not trade on a daily basis in an active market, the fair value estimates are based on market observable inputs based on borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and average maturities and is categorized as Level 2. The fair value of our term loan is calculated by taking the mid-point of the trading prices and multiplying it by the outstanding principal balance of our term loan. The fair market value of our term loan was approximately $460.7 million as of September 30, 2013 and $508.6 million as of December 31, 2012. The carrying value of our term loan was $454.4 million as of September 30, 2013 and $527.0 million as of December 31, 2012.

In the case of our senior notes, we estimate fair value based on quoted market prices from active markets as they are publicly traded and are categorized as Level 1. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had outstanding senior notes obligations with a carrying amount of $300.0 million and 300.0 million, respectively, with a fair market value of approximately $318.8 million as of September 30, 2013 and $283.5 million as of December 31, 2012.

_____________________________
(1)
For fixed income securities, multiple prices from pricing services are obtained from pricing vendors whenever possible, which enables cross- provider validations in addition to checks for unusual daily movements. A primary price source is identified based on asset type, class or issue for each security. The trustee monitors prices supplied by pricing services and may use a supplemental price source or change the primary price source of a given security if the portfolio managers challenge an assigned price and the trustee determines that another price source is considered to be preferable. U.S. Treasury securities are categorized as Level 1 because they trade in a highly liquid and transparent market. Investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, including certain short-term fixed income securities, are considered cash equivalents and are also categorized as Level 1. The fair values of fixed income securities, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, are based on evaluated prices that reflect observable market information, such as actual trade information or similar securities, adjusted for observable differences and are categorized in Level 2.
 
(2)
With respect to individually held equity securities, the trustee obtains prices from pricing services, whose prices are obtained from direct feeds from market exchanges. The fair values of equity securities held directly by the trust fund are based on quoted prices in active markets and are categorized in Level 1. Equity securities held individually are primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ Global Select Market, which contain only actively traded securities due to the volume trading requirements imposed by these national securities exchanges.
 
(3)
Direct lending securities are investments in managed funds that invest in private companies for long-term capital appreciation. The fair value of these securities is determined using either an enterprise value model or a bond valuation model. The enterprise value model develops valuation estimates based on valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, estimating the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company or its assets, considering offers from third parties to buy the portfolio company, its historical and projected financial results, as

well as other factors that may impact value. Significant judgment is required in the applications of discounts or premiums applied to the prices of comparable companies for factors such as size, marketability and relative performance. Under the bond valuation model, expected future cash flows are discounted using a discount rate. The discount rate is composed of a market based rate for similar credits in the public market and an internal credit rate based on the underlying risk of the credit. Investments in direct lending funds are categorized as Level 3 because the fair value of these securities is based largely on inputs that are unobservable and also utilize complex valuation models. Investments in direct lending securities typically cannot be redeemed until maturity of the term loan.

Management determines the value of Level 3 investments by considering third party valuations and have concluded that quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used in valuing these investments is not reasonably available. This includes information regarding the sensitivity of the fair values to changes in the unobservable inputs. We obtain annual valuations from the fund managers and gain an understanding of the inputs and assumptions used in preparing the valuations. We also conclude on the reasonableness of the fair value of these investments. We obtain quarterly reports from the fund managers and review for consistency and reasonableness with regards to the valuations of these investments that were analyzed at the most recent year-end.
 
(4)
Units of participation, which are similar to mutual funds, are maintained by investment companies and hold certain investments in accordance with stated fund objectives. The fair values of short-term commingled funds held within the trust funds, which generally hold short-term fixed income securities and are not subject to restrictions regarding the purchase or sale of shares, are derived from observable prices. Units of participation are categorized as Level 2 because the fair value of these securities is based primarily on observable prices of the underlying securities.

(7) Joint Ventures
 
We use the equity method of accounting for our unconsolidated joint ventures. Under the equity method, we recognize our proportionate share of the net earnings of these joint ventures as a single line item under "Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures" in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). In accordance with authoritative guidance, we analyzed all of our joint ventures and classified them into two groups: (a) joint ventures that must be consolidated because we hold the majority voting interest, or because they are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary; and (b) joint ventures that do not need to be consolidated because we hold only a minority voting or other ownership interest, or because they are VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we performed an assessment of our joint ventures and concluded that no unconsolidated joint ventures should be consolidated and that no consolidated joint ventures should be deconsolidated.

(8) Goodwill

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had recorded $308.5 million and $308.6 million, respectively, of goodwill related to domestic and foreign acquisitions. Goodwill related to the acquisitions of foreign entities is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The related translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For the nine and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we recorded $0.2 million of translation losses and $2.2 million of translation gains, respectively, related to goodwill denominated in foreign currencies.
 
In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we perform a qualitative assessment on our goodwill annually, as of April 1, or more often when events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We consider such factors as: macroeconomic and market conditions, industry specific considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, relevant entity-specific events (such as the Merger Transaction announced in January 2013 and closed in May 2013), share price considerations and other factors as deemed necessary. As of September 30, 2013, there were no events or circumstances that indicated that impairment existed in any of our reporting units.

The variable interest rate on borrowings under our senior secured credit facility was 6.75% as of September 30, 2013 and 6.25% as of December 31, 2012.

On August 13, 2010, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and collateral agent, consisting of a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $560.0 million at a discount rate of 2.5% and a senior secured revolving credit facility with availability of $105.0 million, of which $65.3 million was used to fund letters of credit issued as of September 30, 2013. Borrowings of $289.5 million and $310.6 million, respectively, were held in a restricted cash account as collateral for the Company’s reimbursement obligations with respect to deposit letters of credit for each of the periods ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

On February 15, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement and Consent and Waiver (the "Second Loan Amendment"). The Second Loan Amendment became effective on May 24, 2013 upon the consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the Second Loan Amendment, the lenders and the administrative agent consented to i) a waiver of the change of control provisions and certain other covenants and provisions under the senior secured credit facility; ii) any repayment of our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018, provided that any payments are funded from equity contributions made to us by ECP or its affiliates; iii) an extension to the maturity date of our senior secured revolving credit facility, subject to certain conditions and acceptance by the extending revolving lenders; and iv) 1% prepayment premium if any senior secured term loan is refinanced prior to the date that is one year following the execution date of the Second Loan Amendment.

We incurred $6.1 million of debt financing fees in connection with the Second Loan Amendment all of which were capitalized and are included in other noncurrent assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013. Parent contributed $3.1 million to fund the payment of these financing fees. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we also incurred $7.0 million of lead arranger banker fees with respect to the Second Loan Amendment, all of which were included in other income (expense), net, within the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Parent contributed $4.3 million to fund the payment of these lead arranger banker fees.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to: (a) Adjusted LIBOR plus 5.00% (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.75%), or ABR plus 4.00% in the case of the senior secured term loan; (b) Adjusted LIBOR plus 4.50% (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.75%), or ABR plus 3.50% in the case of the senior secured revolving credit facility, and (c) a per annum fee equal to the spread over Adjusted LIBOR under the senior secured revolving credit facility, along with a fronting fee and issuance and administration fees in the case of revolving letters of credit. On May 24, 2013, upon the closing of the Merger and pursuant the Second Loan Amendment, the interest rate on our senior secured term loan was increased by 0.5%.

The senior secured term loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments payable on the last day of each calendar quarter with the balance being payable on August 13, 2016. In addition to the scheduled repayments, we are required to prepay borrowings under the senior secured term loan with (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment provisions and other customary adjustments, (2) 100% of the net proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, (3) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the senior secured credit facility), if the leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 3.0 to 1.0, or 25% of excess cash flow if the leverage ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0 but greater than 1.0 to 1.0, reduced by the aggregate amount of optional and mandatory prepayments made on the senior secured term loan during the fourth quarter of the applicable fiscal year. If the leverage ratio is equal to or less than 1.0 to 1.0, we are not required to prepay the senior secured term loan. The excess cash flow calculations (as defined in the senior secured credit facility), are prepared annually as of the last day of each fiscal year. Prepayments of term loan resulting from the excess cash flow calculations are

due annually five days after the date that the Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year is filed with the SEC. Each optional and mandatory prepayment is applied first, in direct order of maturities, to the next four scheduled principal repayment installments of the senior secured term loan and second, to the other principal repayment installments of senior secured term loan on a pro rata basis. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we made principal debt payments totaling $72.6 million, and as such all mandatory quarterly term loan prepayment requirements have been satisfied.

Upon completion of the Merger Transaction and pursuant to the Second Loan Amendment we were required to reduce our debt with respect to our senior secured term loan and our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018, to $675.0 million or less by October 21, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of our senior debt was $754.4 million. As such, as of September 30, 2013, we had a mandatory principal repayment of $79.4 million.

The senior secured credit facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness for money borrowed to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facility) and an interest coverage ratio (based upon the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense), both of which are calculated quarterly. Failure to comply with these financial ratio covenants would result in an event of default under the senior secured credit facility and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, preclude us from making further borrowings under the senior secured credit facility and permit the lenders to accelerate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the senior secured credit facility. Based on the formulas set forth in the senior secured credit facility, we are required to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.0 for the quarter ending September 30, 2013, which is reduced by 0.25 on an annual basis through the maturity date. We are required to maintain a minimum cash interest coverage ratio of 2.00 from the quarter ended September 30, 2013 through the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 2.25 through the maturity date. As of September 30, 2013, our total leverage and cash interest coverage ratios were 3.37 and 2.17, respectively. Pursuant to the Second Loan Amendment, the definition of change of control and reporting requirements under the senior secured credit facility were amended.
 
The senior secured credit facility also contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, investments and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, affiliate transactions, and dividends and restricted payments. Under the senior secured credit facility, we are permitted maximum annual capital expenditures of $40.0 million for 2013 and each year thereafter, plus for each year the lesser of (1) a one year carryforward of the unused amount from the previous fiscal year and (2) 50% of the amount permitted for capital expenditures in the previous fiscal year. The senior secured credit facility contains events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due, a cross-default provision with respect to other indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount of at least $5.0 million and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control, as defined in the senior secured credit facility. Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were $10.2 million. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our senior secured credit facility.
 
The obligations under the senior secured credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and each of the Company’s domestic subsidiary guarantors, including a pledge of equity interests with the exception of the equity interests in our ZionSolutions subsidiary, which includes investments in the NDT fund of approximately $471.1 million as of September 30, 2013, and other special purpose subsidiaries, whose organizational documentation prohibits or limits such pledge.
 
On August 13, 2010, we completed a $300.0 million private offering of 10.75% senior notes at a discount rate of 1.3%. The senior notes are governed by an indenture among EnergySolutions and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Interest on the senior notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning on February 15, 2011. The senior notes rank in equal right of payment to all existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated debt. In May 2011, we filed a registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the senior notes offering. The SEC declared the registration statement relating to the exchange offer effective on May 27, 2011, and the exchange of the registered senior notes for the unregistered senior notes was consummated on May 31, 2011. We did not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer transaction.
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2014, we are entitled to redeem all or a portion of the senior notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes plus an applicable make-whole premium, as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date. In addition, on or after August 15, 2014, we may redeem all or a portion of the senior notes at the following redemption prices during the 12-month period commencing on August 15 of the years set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the senior secured credit facility. The senior notes and related guarantees are effectively subordinated to our secured obligations, including the senior secured credit facility and related guarantees, to the extent of the value of assets securing such debt. The senior notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of each of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes. If a change of control of the Company occurs, each holder will have the right to require that we purchase all or a portion of such holder’s senior notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the purchase. The indenture contains, among other things, certain covenants limiting our ability and the ability of one restricted subsidiary to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, create or incur liens, sell assets and subsidiary stock, transfer all or substantially all of our assets, or enter into a merger or consolidation transactions, and enter into transactions with affiliates.
 
Each subsidiary co-issuer and guarantor of our senior notes is exempt from reporting under the Exchange Act, pursuant to Rule 12h-5 under the Exchange Act, as the subsidiary co-issuer and each of the subsidiary guarantors is 100% owned by us, and the obligations of the co-issuer and the guarantees of our subsidiary guarantors are full and unconditional and joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on our ability or any subsidiary guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries.
 
During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we made cash interest payments totaling $61.2 million and $58.7 million, respectively, related to our outstanding debt obligations as of those dates.

Subsequent Events

On October 11, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (the "Third Loan Amendment"). The Third Loan Amendment extended the payment terms on our collective senior debt to 270 days after the Third Loan Amendment's effective date of October 15, 2013, and increased the applicable margin for our senior secured term loan by 0.50% until we reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of senior secured term loan under the amended Credit Agreement and our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018 to $675.0 million or less. In the event that the outstanding principal amount of our collective senior debt exceeded $675.0 million at the end 180 days from the Third Loan Amendment's effective date, the applicable margin for our senior secured credit facility will be increased by an additional 0.25%. Upon the date that the aggregate outstanding amount of senior debt is $675.0 million or less, the applicable margin for our senior secured credit facility will be decreased by 0.50%, back to the interest rates prior to the effective date of the Third Loan Amendment. In connection with this Third Loan Amendment, we paid a consent fee to each lender equal to 0.25% of the sum of the outstanding term loan and revolving commitments of such lenders as of the effective date of the Third Loan Amendment, and we reimbursed the administrative agent for fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with preparation of the Third Loan Amendment. We prepaid an additional $14.4 million of term loan debt on October 7, 2013 funded by ECP equity contributions to the Company, and we expect to fund the remaining mandatory debt prepayment balance of $65.0 million with our cash flows and a shortfall, if any, will be funded by equity contributions to the Company by ECP or its affiliates.
 
(11) Facility and Equipment Decontamination and Decommissioning
 
We recognize AROs when we have a legal obligation to perform D&D and removal activities upon retirement of an asset. The fair value of an ARO liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset, which is then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset, in the case of all our AROs except the Zion Station ARO.

The ARO established in connection with the Zion Station project differs somewhat from our traditional AROs. The assets acquired in the Zion Station transaction have no fair value, no future useful life and are in a shut-down, non-operating state. As a result, the ARO established in connection with the Zion Station project is not accompanied by a related depreciable asset. Changes to the ARO liability due to accretion expense and changes in cost estimates are recorded in cost of revenue in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Also, since we perform most of the work related to the Zion Station ARO with internal resources, we recognized an ARO gain for the difference between our actual costs incurred and the recorded ARO which includes an element of profit. Due to the nature of this contract and the purpose of the license

16

Table of Contents

stewardship initiative, we have presented this gain in cost of revenue rather than as a credit to operating expense, as we would with our other AROs.
 Our ARO is based on a cost estimate for a third party to perform the D&D work. This estimate is inflated, using an inflation rate, to the expected time at which the D&D activity will occur, and then discounted back, using our credit adjusted risk free rate, to the present value. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the ARO is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligations.

For certain of our D&D obligations, we are required to deposit cash relating to our D&D obligation in the form of a restricted cash account, a deposit in escrow, or in a trust fund. D&D deposits consist principally of: (i) funds held in trust for completion of various site clean-up projects and (ii) funds deposited in connection with landfill closure, post-closure and remediation obligations. Although we are required to provide assurance to satisfy some of our D&D obligations in the form of insurance policies, restricted cash accounts, escrows or trust funds, these assurance mechanisms do not extinguish our D&D liabilities. D&D deposits and restricted cash are included in non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(12) Equity-Based Compensation

On May 22, 2013, the board of directors and stockholders of Parent approved the Stock Option Plan of Rockwell Holdco, Inc. (the "Rockwell Plan"), pursuant to which stock options may be granted to the employees, consultants, non-employee directors of Parent or its subsidiaries. Under the Rockwell Plan, 36,087 shares of Parent common stock have been reserved for issuance. Any option granted under the Rockwell Plan will be subject to terms and conditions contained in a written stock option agreement, and any shares of Parent common stock received upon exercise of an option under the Rockwell Plan will be subject to Parent’s Stockholders Agreement. The board of directors of Parent administers the Rockwell Plan and may amend, suspend or terminate the Rockwell Plan at any time.
As of September 30, 2013, 34,867 options had been issued under the Rockwell Plan to employees of the Company. Our estimates of fair value for the stock options were made using the Black‑Scholes model based upon the fair value of the stock price on the date of grant, volatility of 72.2%, risk-free interest rate of 1.39% per year and expected life of 6.5 years. We are currently using the simplified method to calculate expected holding periods, which is based on the average term of the options and the weighted‑average graded vesting period because we do not have sufficient exercise history to calculate an expected holding period. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant.
We recognize equity based compensation expense over the instruments' vesting periods based on the instruments' fair values on the measurement date, in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We recorded $1.1 million and $1.5 million of stock based compensation expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, related to stock option grants issued during 2013. As of September 30, 2013, we had $21.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.6 years.
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded equity-based compensation expense related to our former plans of $0.0 and $0.7 million, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded stock based compensation expense related to former plans of $3.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

On May 24, 2013, as a result of the completion of the Merger, a change in control occurred that resulted in immediate vesting of all outstanding share based awards. The acceleration in vesting resulted from a preexisting change in control provision included in the terms of the awards issued under the former plans. Payments to grant holders due to the change in control provision were approximately $21.0 million as of September 30, 2013.
 
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had recorded liabilities of $6.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, related to phantom stock awards to be settled in cash, which are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $0 million and $19.8 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to these awards. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, we recorded $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to these awards. Compensation expense related to phantom stock awards has been fully recognized as of September 30, 2013.
 
(13) Income Taxes
 
We recognized income tax expense of $6.2 million and an income tax benefit of $20,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for year-to-date effective rates of negative 9.6% and 0.1%, respectively, based on an estimated annual effective tax rate method. Income tax expense arises from income for certain entities in the U.K. and for the Zion NDT fund. No benefits from losses in the U.S. and other entities in the U.K. are available to offset tax expense due to their respective full valuation allowance positions.

The 2013 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the small amount of tax expense on U.K. and Zion NDT fund income relative to consolidated pretax book losses which include large losses in the U.S. and the U.K. for which no benefit is recorded due to their full valuation allowance positions. The year-to-date effective rate was

Table of Contents

also impacted by lower statutory tax rates for foreign jurisdictions and the NDT fund, the tax benefit of foreign research and development credits, and a benefit recorded for the effect of a statutory rate reduction in the U.K. enacted during the quarter.
 
The 2012 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the amount of income tax expense relative to the amount of pretax book income, lower tax on income in foreign jurisdictions and the NDT fund, the tax benefit of foreign research and development credits, income tax expense due to the change in management’s assertion with respect to unremitted foreign earnings, offset by foreign tax credits and further offset by the release of a domestic valuation allowance on net operating losses resulting from an increase in taxable income due to the partial change in the reinvestment assertion, and the reversal of certain unrecognized tax benefits.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, an extension of the research and development credit in the U.S. was signed into law. While the Company fully intends to take advantage of the research and development credit for the 2012 and 2013 tax years, no benefit has been recorded in the financial statements due to the full valuation allowance position in the U.S.
 
During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we made income tax payments, net of income tax refunds, of $8.3 million and $16.6 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits. These tax benefits were accounted for under guidance for accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1.1 million, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations to examine and challenge our tax positions by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

(14) Segment Reporting and Business Concentrations
 
We report our results through two major operating groups: the Government Group and the Global Commercial Group. The Government Group derives its revenue from government customers in the U.S., whereas the Global Commercial Group provides a broad range of services both nationally and internationally and reports its results under three separate operating business divisions: Commercial Services ("CS"), Logistics, Processing and Disposal ("LP&D") and International.

(16) Restructuring
 
In 2012, we initiated a restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan") to reduce operating costs and improve profitability within our operations in the U.S. Under the Restructuring Plan, we reduced our facility footprint and implemented a reduction of force across multiple business segments and functions. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $0.0 and $1.8 million, respectively, in restructuring charges associated with lease and contract terminations. These charges are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under cost of revenue related to our LP&D operations. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $3.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively, in restructuring charges related to severance and employee termination benefits, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under corporate SG&A. The corresponding liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $1.4 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In February 2013, we announced that we had substantially completed the Restructuring Plan. The remaining unpaid termination benefits are expected to be paid within the next six months.
 
                                                In 2009, we started an initial organizational review of our Magnox sites and identified an opportunity to reduce the existing workforce, primarily at three sites at which decommissioning was relatively close to completion with only a few projects remaining. The termination plan was presented in two phases and was approved by the NDA. As a result of overstaffing at the Magnox sites, approximately 300 employees left us on a voluntary basis. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we recognized an additional $55.6 million of expected employee termination benefits related to the termination of approximately 200 employees at the Bradwell site, which is rapidly moving into the early care and maintenance phase. Additionally, we also accrued employee termination benefits for the Chapelcross site, which is decreasing in size following completion of defueling activities and is preparing for further decommissioning, as well as the Dungeness, Oldbury, Trawsfynydd sites, which are getting ready to re-shape the workforce following cessation of power generation in 2014. No termination benefits were recognized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. These benefits are included in cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) related to our International operations. The corresponding liability as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $52.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining liability is expected to be paid over approximately the next 24 months.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balances related to the Magnox employee termination benefits (in thousands):

The termination plan and employee benefits paid for the termination of these employees are in accordance with the existing employee and the trade union agreements and were pre-approved by the NDA. All employee termination benefits are treated as part of the normal Magnox cost base and are reimbursed by the NDA.
 
(17) Commitments and Contingencies
 
We may become subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering matters that may arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. As of September 30, 2013, we were not involved in any legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material developments to the legal proceedings disclosed under Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" in our 2012 Annual Report and Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings" in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

Pennington et al. v. ZionSolutions, LLC, et al.

As previously disclosed, on September 13, 2011, the defendants in the matter titled Pennington et al. v. ZionSolutions, LLC, et al. filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims. On July 29, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division dismissed the entire lawsuit. The plaintiffs have appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

(18) Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information
 
The 2018 senior notes were issued by EnergySolutions, Inc., the parent company, and EnergySolutions, LLC (together with EnergySolutions, Inc., the "Issuers").

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes of EnergySolutions included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended (the "2012 Annual Report").
 
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of EnergySolutions and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (such as statements containing the words "believes," "plans," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates" and similar expressions) should be considered forward-looking statements. As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Due to known and unknown risks, our actual results may differ materially from our expectations or projections.

While most risks affect only future revenue or expenses, some risks may relate to accruals that have already been reflected in earnings. Our failure to receive payments of accrued amounts or incurrence of liabilities in excess of amounts previously recognized could result in a charge against future earnings.

Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in the subsection entitled "Risk Factors" under Part I, Item 1A of the 2012 Annual Report. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results and events may differ materially from results and events currently expected by us. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change of expectations with regard thereto or to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances.
 
Overview
 
We are a leading provider of a broad range of nuclear services to government and commercial customers who rely on our expertise to address their needs throughout the lifecycle of their nuclear operations. Our broad range of nuclear services includes engineering, in-plant support services, spent nuclear fuel management, decontamination and decommissioning ("D&D") services, operation of nuclear reactors, logistics, transportation, processing, and low-level radioactive waste disposal. We also own and operate strategic processing and disposal facilities that complement our services and uniquely position us to provide a single-source solution to our customers. We derive almost 100% of our revenue from the provision of nuclear services.
 
We provide our services through two customer groups: the Government Group and the Global Commercial Group. Our Government Group provides services to U.S. government customers for the management and operation, and/or clean-up of facilities with radioactive materials. The Global Commercial Group, reports its results under three operating business divisions: Commercial Services, Logistics, Processing and Disposal ("LP&D"), and International. Our Government Group customers are individual offices, departments and administrations within the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") and the U.S. Department of Defense. Our Commercial Services operations provide a broad range of on-site services, including D&D services and comprehensive long-term stewardship D&D work for shut-down nuclear power plants and similar operations, to commercial customers. Our commercial customers include power and utility companies, pharmaceutical companies, research laboratories, universities, industrial facilities, state agencies and other commercial entities that are involved with nuclear materials as well as state agencies in the U.S. Our LP&D operations provide a broad range of logistics, transportation, processing and disposal services to both government and commercial customers. Our LP&D division also operates our facilities for the processing and disposal of radioactive materials, including our facility in Clive, Utah, four facilities in Tennessee, and two facilities in Barnwell, South Carolina. Our International division derives revenue primarily through contracts with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority ("NDA") in the United Kingdom ("U.K.") to operate, manage and decommission ten Magnox sites with twenty-two nuclear reactors. In addition, our International division also provides turn-key services and sub-contract services for the treatment, processing, storage and disposal of radioactive waste from nuclear sites and non-nuclear facilities such as hospitals, research facilities and other manufacturing and industrial facilities.

We continue our work on the Magnox contract. The Magnox contract has been extended and is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2014. As expected, the NDA published a notice advising of its intention to launch the contract rebid process that

31

Table of Contents

is expected to be completed in late 2013. We are competing for the rebid of the Magnox contract by teaming with one other partner.

On January 7, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Rockwell Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Parent" or "Rockwell") and Rockwell Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub") established as an acquisition vehicle for the purpose of acquiring the Company. The Merger Agreement was later amended on April 5, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended, on May 24, 2013 (the "Merger Date"), Merger Sub completed its acquisition of 100% of the Company's common stock and merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). Parent is 100% owned by Energy Capital Partners II, LP and its parallel funds ("Energy Capital" or "ECP") a leading private equity firm focused on investing in North America's energy infrastructure.

On the Merger Date, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company (other than shares of Company common stock held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent, affiliates of Parent, Merger Sub, a subsidiary of the Company or by stockholders who had validly exercised and perfected their appraisal rights under Delaware law), was converted into the right to receive $4.15 in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes. The Company's common stock ceased to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange after close of market on May 24, 2013. The Company continues its operations as a privately-held company. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or has had filed on its behalf, a Form 15 and Form 25 to deregister the Company's common stock under Sections 12(b) and (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), respectively, which deregistration became effective 90 days after the filing of the applicable form. Further, the Company's reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act on account of its common stock will be suspended effective January 1, 2014, at which time the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC on account of its common stock, but will continue to have public reporting obligations with the SEC with respect to its 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018 as required by the indenture governing such Senior Notes.
    
We refer to the May 24, 2013 acquisition of EnergySolutions by Rockwell as the "Merger Transaction". The following events describe the transactions that occurred in connection with the Merger Transaction:

Parent and EnergySolutions purchased and retired all of the Company's outstanding common stock as of the Merger Date and paid approximately $383.9 million in cash to the Company's stockholders. Of the total amount paid, EnergySolutions directly purchased 1.8 million shares for $7.3 million from cash on hand. The 1.8 million shares were issued as a result of accelerated vesting of previously issued restricted stock awards due to change in control.

Parent paid $10.9 million of Merger Transaction related costs on behalf of EnergySolutions. Payments made by Parent on the Company's behalf were accounted for as capital contributions. Of the $10.9 million transaction costs, approximately $3.1 million was capitalized as debt issuance costs and the remainder was expensed on the Merger Date and is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.

EnergySolutions incurred $32.6 million of Merger Transaction related expenses. These expenses were comprised primarily of employee incentive compensation and related payroll taxes of $21.0 million and professional fees of $11.6 million. These expenses were included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under cost of revenue and SG&A expenses.

On October 11, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (the "Third Loan Amendment"). The Third Loan Amendment extended the payment terms on our collective senior debt to 270 days after the Third Loan Amendment's effective date of October 15, 2013, and increased the applicable margin for our senior secured term loan by 0.50% until we reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of senior secured term loan under the amended Credit Agreement and our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018 to $675.0 million or less. In the event that the outstanding principal amount of our collective senior debt exceeded $675.0 million at the end 180 days from the Third Loan Amendment's effective
date, the applicable margin for our senior secured credit facility will be increased by an additional 0.25%. Upon the date that the aggregate outstanding amount of senior debt is $675.0 million or less, the applicable margin for our senior secured credit facility will be decreased by 0.50%, back to the interest rates prior to the effective date of the Third Loan Amendment. In connection with this Third Loan Amendment, we paid a consent fee to each lender equal to 0.25% of the sum of the outstanding term loan and revolving commitments of such lenders as of the effective date of the Third Loan Amendment, and we reimbursed the administrative agent for fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with preparation of the Third Loan Amendment. We prepaid an additional $14.4 million of term loan debt on October 7, 2013 funded by ECP equity contributions to the Company, and we expect to fund the remaining mandatory debt prepayment balance of $65.0 million with

our cash flows and a shortfall, if any, will be funded by equity contributions to the Company by ECP or its affiliates.

Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2012
 
Government Group
 
Revenue from our Government Group decreased $0.5 million to $43.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to the overall reduction on federal government spending, lower reimbursable costs due to labor reductions and funding delays on existing contracts. As a result, gross profit decreased $0.2 million and gross margin decreased to 18.4% for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 and from 18.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. The federal government's budget sequestration is expected to continue through the end of fiscal year 2021. We believe the reductions in government spending will continue to negatively impact the financial results of our Government Group.

Revenue and cost of revenue from our operations in the Southwest region increased $4.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to increased activity on our waste characterization and disposal project at the DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory site in New Mexico, and increased supporting remediation activities at the Oronogo mine site in Missouri. Gross profit increased $0.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, due primarily to additional out of scope work performed on certain other contracts.

Revenue and cost of revenue related to engineering and technology projects decreased $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to decreased technical testing and design supporting activities to the DOE Hanford Site. In addition, certain capital projects that were scheduled to have started in 2013 were put on hold or delayed due to funding limitations resulting from the government sequestration. Gross profit increased $0.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 due primarily to cost savings resulting from reductions in workforce.

Revenue and cost of revenue related to our subsidiary EnergySolutions Performance Strategies decreased $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to reductions in workforce and decreased nuclear safety and quality control activities on two large DOE projects. As a result, gross profit decreased $0.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Global Commercial Group

34

Table of Contents

September 30, 2012, due primarily to delays in fabrication of transportable storage canisters pending approval from the National Regulatory Commission for various aspects of the independent spent fuel storage installations due in part to the government shutdown. As a result, gross profit decreased $0.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenue and cost of revenue related to commercial project and technology services delivery decreased $5.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to the completion of two major decommissioning projects related to the disposal of a reactor vessel and a steam turbine earlier this year. As a result, gross profit decreased $0.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenue related to our commercial products increased $0.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012 due to increased demand for liquid waste processing systems and spent fuel services during 2013. Cost of revenue decreased $0.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 due primarily from the realization of cost savings initiatives.

LP&D
 
Revenue from our LP&D operations decreased $9.3 million to $53.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to lower waste disposal volumes from government contracts at our Clive, Utah facility, lower receipts of waste materials from utility companies at our Bear Creek, Tennessee facilities; decreased demand of fuel pool inserts at our Manufacturing Sciences Corporation subsidiary and timing differences on recognition of fees on certain large waste processing contracts. Gross profit decreased $2.5 million while gross margin increased to 35.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 from 34.5% for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to cost savings initiatives, which commenced during the second half of 2012.

Revenue related to our disposal facilities decreased $1.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to lower volumes of waste receipts on DOE projects during 2013 resulting from the government spending cuts. Cost of revenue decreased $2.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 due primarily from lower revenues as well as the realization of cost savings initiatives and a reduction in workforce. As a result, gross profit increased $1.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
 
Revenue and cost of revenue from our processing facilities decreased $6.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to a completion of a major order of fuel pool inserts during the third quarter of 2012, the overall decrease in receipts of waste materials from utility companies during 2013 and the realization of cost savings initiatives. As a result, gross profit decreased $4.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
 
Revenue and cost of revenue from our logistics operations decreased $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to decreased shipping activity on major DOE contracts. As a result, gross profit decreased $0.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
 
International

Revenue from our International operations decreased $32.2 million to $257.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to the completion of a major delivery of media filters, containers and water treatment systems during 2012 and decreased commissioning activities on the China contracts during 2013 as we move into the final equipment testing phase. Gross profit decreased $7.0 million and gross margin decreased to 1.4% for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 from 2.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to timing in recognition of fees on certain milestone type contracts.
 
Revenue from our operations in the U.K. increased $2.2 million to $252.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to additional contract incentive fees recognized during the third quarter of 2013 associated with the completion of the 2012/2013 contract year and

higher cost efficiency fees resulting from the exceptional performance of the Wylfa nuclear power station. Cost of revenue increased $3.1 million primarily due to increased costs in waste processing and managing activities on other contracts in Europe. Gross profit decreased $0.9 million and gross margin decreased to 1.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 from 2.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2012.

Revenue and cost of revenue were also impacted by a decrease in the quarterly average pound sterling exchange rates period over period from 1.5798 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 to 1.5500 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Revenue and cost of revenue from our operations in Asia decreased $34.6 million and $27.4 million, respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to completion of a major delivery of media filters, containers and water treatment systems during 2012. In addition, our reactor commissioning activities at the Yangjiang and Haiyang nuclear power plants in China are winding down and moving into the final equipment testing phase. As a result, gross profit decreased $7.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
 
Segment selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Segment SG&A expenses include expenses that are not directly associated with performing services for our customers. These expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits for management and administrative personnel, preparing contract bids, office expenses, advisory fees, professional fees, strategic growth initiatives such as research and development, and administrative overhead. Segment SG&A expenses increased $0.5 million, or 3.8%, to $14.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to $14.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to increased bidding and proposal expenses. Segment SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased 0.1% for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
 
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Corporate SG&A expenses reflect costs associated with supporting our entire company including executive management and administrative functions such as accounting, treasury, legal, human resources, and information technology, as well as other costs required to support our company. Corporate SG&A expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 12.7% to $15.6 million, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, from $17.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to a decrease in equity-based and performance compensation expense. Corporate SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased 0.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures
 
Income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $0.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due to increased losses from our proportional share of income from our SempraSafe LLC joint venture.
 
Interest expense
 
Interest expense increased $2.8 million to $20.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 from $17.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to acceleration of amortization of deferred financing fees and bond premiums incurred in connection with the issuance of our debt. The acceleration resulted from $56.0 million of debt principal prepayments made during the three month period ended September 30, 2013. In addition, the variable interest rate on the term loan increased 0.5% upon completion of the Merger on May 24, 2013 and pursuant to Amendment 2 to the Credit Agreement and Consent and Waiver (the "Second Loan Amendment"). The variable interest rate on our term loan was 6.75% and 6.25%, for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, while our senior notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 10.75%.

Other income (expense), net
 
Other income (expense), net, decreased $10.1 million to $2.3 million income for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 from $12.4 million income for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to increased unrealized losses from investments in the nuclear decommissioning trust ("NDT") fund and decreased interest and dividend income received from investments held at the NDT fund due primarily to a reduction in the NDT fund balance

resulting from withdrawals to cover D&D expenses related to the Zion Station project. The increase in unrealized losses resulted from increases in fixed income yields across most classes of securities that decreased market values and, in the case of NDT fund investments, unrealized capital gains for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. These decreases were offset by a reduction in other expenses related to a $2.4 million donation of an engineering research facility to the Washington State University and a $5.0 million reserve for settlements on certain legal matters recorded during the third quarter of 2012.
 
Income taxes
 
We recognized an income tax benefit of $3.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to income tax expense of $3.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, for quarterly effective rates of 39.0% and 25.0%, respectively, based on an estimated annual effective tax rate method.

The 2013 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the small amount of tax expense on U.K. and Zion NDT fund income relative to consolidated pretax book losses which include large losses in the U.S. and the U.K. for which no benefit is recorded due to their full valuation allowance positions. The year-to-date effective rate was also impacted by lower statutory tax rates for foreign jurisdictions and the NDT fund, the tax benefit of foreign research and development credits, and a benefit recorded for the effect of a statutory rate reduction in the U.K. enacted during the quarter.
 
The 2012 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the amount of income tax expense relative to the amount of pretax book income, lower tax on income in foreign jurisdictions and the NDT fund, the tax benefit of foreign research and development credits, income tax expense due to the change in management’s assertion with respect to unremitted foreign earnings, offset by foreign tax credits and further offset by the release of a domestic valuation allowance on net operating losses resulting from an increase in taxable income due to the partial change in the reinvestment assertion, and the reversal of certain unrecognized tax benefits.

Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2012

Government Group
 
Revenue from our Government Group increased $6.4 million to $131.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to increased waste management and disposition activities on certain government projects and increased technical testing and design activities on our large scale mixing projects. These increases were largely offset by the completion of major DOE projects in 2012 and the overall reduction of federal spending throughout the year. Gross profit increased $5.5 million and gross margin increased to 15.7% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 from 11.9% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to a fee adjustment recorded in March 2012 related to our Salt Waste project. The federal government's budget sequestration is expected to continue through the end of fiscal year 2021. We believe the reductions in government spending and delays in award of new contracts will continue to negatively impact the financial results of our Government Group.

Revenue and cost of revenue from our operations in the Southwest region increased $12.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to increased waste characterization, storage and management services at the DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory site in New Mexico, and increased supporting remediation activities at the Oronogo mine site in Missouri. As a result, gross profit increased $2.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenue from our operations supporting the construction of the Salt Waste Processing facility in Savannah River, South Carolina increased $5.6 million while cost of revenue decreased $0.3 million, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to a $6.4 million fee adjustment recorded in 2012 resulting from costs to complete the contract exceeding the original total budgeted costs by the prime contractor. As a result, gross profit increased $5.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenue and cost of revenue related to our engineering and technology projects increased $1.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to increased technical testing activities and design supporting activities related to the clean up and decontamination of the reactors located at the DOE Hanford Site in Washington State. As a result, gross profit increased $0.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenue and cost of revenue from our logistics operations decreased $4.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to decreased shipping activity on major DOE contracts. As a result, gross profit decreased $1.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
 
Revenue from our processing facilities increased $1.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to increased metal melting and incineration activities, offset by decreased revenue due to completion of a major order of fuel pool inserts during the third quarter of 2012. However, cost of revenue decreased $4.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 due primarily from the realization of cost savings initiatives. As a result, gross profit increased $5.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

International

Revenue from our International operations increased $4.6 million to $922.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to a timing difference in recognition of fees related to our operations at the Magnox sites in the U.K. offset by decreased commissioning activities on the China contracts during 2013 as we move into the final equipment testing phase.

All costs are reimbursable from the NDA under the terms of the Magnox contracts. As a result, gross profit decreased $0.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. In addition, results from our operations in the U.K. were negatively impacted as a result of the overall decrease in pound sterling average exchange rates for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenue and cost of revenue from our operations in Asia decreased $34.4 million and $26.6 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to completion of a major delivery of media filters, containers and water treatment systems on the Fukushima contract during 2012. In addition, our reactor commissioning activities at the Yangjiang and Haiyang nuclear power plants in China are winding down and moving into the final equipment testing phase. As a result, gross profit decreased $7.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenue and cost of revenue from our waste processing and storage operations in Canada increased $2.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due to increased volumes of waste and higher demand for waste storage services. As a result, gross profit increased $1.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Segment selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Segment SG&A expenses include expenses that are not directly associated with performing services for our customers. These expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits for management and administrative personnel, preparing contract bids, office expenses, advisory fees, professional fees, strategic growth initiatives such as research and development, and administrative overhead. Segment SG&A expenses increased $6.5 million, or 15.8%, to $47.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to $41.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to higher bidding and proposal costs and increased employee compensation expense resulting from the acceleration in vesting of equity-based awards due to the Merger. Segment SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased 0.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
 
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Corporate SG&A expenses reflect costs associated with supporting our entire company including executive management and administrative functions such as accounting, treasury, legal, human resources, and information technology, as well as other costs required to support our company. Corporate SG&A expenses increased $25.5 million, to $84.1 million, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, from $58.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 due primarily to recognition of expenses related to the Merger Transaction such as employee incentives, professional fees,

consulting fees and equity-based and performance compensation. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in restructuring charges associated with the change in management that occurred during the second quarter of 2012.

Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures
 
Income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $3.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to a $1.8 million decrease from our proportional share of income coming from our Washington River Protection Solutions LLC joint venture at the Hanford site and a $1.0 million increase in losses recorded in connection with our SempraSafe LLC joint venture.

Interest expense
 
Interest expense increased $5.1 million to $57.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 from $52.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to acceleration of amortization of deferred financing fees and bond premiums incurred in connection with the issuance of our debt. The acceleration resulted from $72.6 million debt principal prepayments made during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. In addition, the variable interest rate on the term loan increased 0.5% upon completion of the Merger on May 24, 2013 pursuant to the Second Loan Amendment. The variable interest rate on our term loan was 6.75% and 6.25%, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, while our senior notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 10.75%.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we also made interest payments totaling $61.2 million of which $32.3 million relates to the semi-annual payment of interest on the senior notes and $28.9 million relates to interest on the term loan, related senior secured revolving facility and other fronting fees.

Other income (expense), net
 
Other income (expense), net, decreased $55.3 million to $9.2 million expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 from $46.1 million income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to a significant increase in unrealized losses from investments in the NDT fund during 2013. The unrealized losses resulted from increases in fixed income yields across most classes of securities that decreased market values and, in the case of the NDT fund, unrealized capital gains. Interest and dividend income received from investments held at the NDT fund also decreased due primarily to a reduction in the NDT fund balance resulting from withdrawals to cover D&D expenses related to the Zion Station project. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we also recorded $7.0 million of lead arranger banker fees associated with the modification of our senior secured credit facility and the successful completion of the Merger.

Income taxes

We recognized income tax expense of $6.2 million and an income tax benefit of $20,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for year-to-date effective rates of negative 9.6% and 0.1% respectively, based on an estimated annual effective tax rate method. The income tax expense arises from income for certain entities in the U.K. and for the Zion NDT fund. No benefits from losses in the U.S. and other entities in the U.K. are available to offset tax expense due to their respective full valuation allowance positions.

The 2013 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the small amount of tax expense on U.K. and Zion NDT fund income relative to consolidated pretax book losses which include large losses in the U.S. and the U.K. for which no benefit is recorded due to their full valuation allowance positions. The year-to-date effective rate was also impacted by lower statutory tax rates for foreign jurisdictions and the NDT fund, the tax benefit of foreign research and development credits, and a benefit recorded for the effect of a statutory rate reduction in the U.K. enacted during the quarter.
 
The 2012 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the amount of income tax expense relative to the amount of pretax book income, lower tax on income in foreign jurisdictions and the NDT fund, the tax benefit of foreign research and development credits, income tax expense due to the change in management’s assertion with respect to unremitted foreign earnings, offset by foreign tax credits and further offset by the release of a domestic valuation allowance on net operating losses resulting from an increase in taxable income due to the partial change in the reinvestment assertion, and the reversal of certain unrecognized tax benefits.

Table of Contents

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1.1 million, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations to examine and challenge our tax positions by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2013, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $54.2 million in existing cash and cash equivalents, of which $38.1 million was held in foreign jurisdictions, and $39.7 million of availability under the $105.0 million revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility, which is net of $65.3 million of outstanding letters of credit issued against it. Due to U.S. tax laws and foreign regulations, our ability to use our cash held in foreign jurisdictions to fund U.S. operations is limited. We also had $258.3 million in accounts receivable and $87.5 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts to fund our operations. We review the collectability of these balances on a regular basis and determine if allowances for doubtful accounts are needed. As of September 30, 2013 our allowance for doubtful accounts represented 0.7% of the combined total of these accounts. We also monitor our Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO") periodically and use it as a metric of performance of our credit and collection function. We use DSO to monitor the average time, in days, that it takes us to convert our accounts receivable into cash. We calculate DSO by dividing the average accounts receivable for the applicable period into the amount of revenue recognized during the year and multiplying the result of that calculation by the number of days in that period. Our average DSO decreased to 53 days as of September 30, 2013 from 57 days as of December 31, 2012.
 
We believe we have sufficient resources to fund our operating and capital expenditure requirements, to pay our income taxes and to service our debt for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flows    

Our cash and cash equivalents for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were sufficient to cover our operating expenses. We are actively engaged in managing our working capital to generate cash that will allow us to accelerate our plans to reduce debt and to fund the growth of our business. Our primary use of cash was to fund our working capital and capital expenditures, to service our debt and to pay taxes.

Operating Activities

We finance our operations primarily through cash provided by operations. Our cash flow from operations is impacted by fluctuations in working capital caused by the timing of our billings to customers, collection terms of our contracts, stages of completion of our projects, execution of projects within their planned budgets, the timing of payments to vendors and subcontractors, the timing of dividend payments from our unconsolidated joint ventures, the changes in income tax assets and liabilities, and unforeseen events. Additionally, certain projects receive advance payments from customers. A normal trend for these projects is to have higher cash balances during the initial phases of execution, which then level out toward the end of the construction phase. As a result, our cash position is reduced as work is performed against customer advances, unless they are replaced by advances on other projects.

Cash used by operating activities was $10.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $15.8 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. The decrease year over year resulted primarily from the payment of significant Merger related transaction costs which reduced our net income and lower cash distributions received from our non consolidated joint ventures during 2013. Operating cash inflows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were provided primarily from a reduction in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings due to achievement of milestones on certain large contracts. In addition, we received a large income tax refund from the U.S. Treasury related to our 2010 tax filings with the IRS.

Investing Activities

We used $6.5 million of cash in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to $7.2 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. The decrease year over year resulted primarily from lower capital expenditures and lower investment fees paid in connection with the management of the NDT fund due to decreases in the NDT fund balance as work is completed at the Zion Station project. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 we invested cash primarily in capital expenditures. Investments in capital expenditures included purchases of transportation equipment to support our disposal and logistics operations and storage equipment to support waste disposal activities. Cash was also used to pay for investment fees associated with the management of the NDT fund. We actively invest in securities to provide our target returns on the NDT fund assets to satisfy current and future decommissioning costs associated with the Zion

41

Table of Contents

Station ARO. Investment income and realized earnings on the NDT fund are a source of working capital for the decommissioning work we perform at the Zion Station.

Financing Activities

We used $63.1 million of cash in financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.6 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. The increase resulted primarily from uses of cash to prepay $72.6 million of term loan debt, repurchase treasury common stock vested as a result of the merger transaction and to pay debt financing fees paid to the lenders in connection with amendments made to our senior secured credit facility. During the third quarter of 2013, we also released $21.0 million from our restricted cash account used as collateral for deposit letter of credit obligations.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $289.5 million and $310.6 million, respectively, of the borrowings under the senior secured credit facility were held in a restricted cash account as collateral for the Company’s reimbursement obligations with respect to deposit letters of credit. During the third quarter of 2013, we were able to reduce the deposit letter of credit specified amount by approximately $21.0 million and the proceeds were immediately applied as a prepayment of our term loan as required by our senior secured credit facility. From time to time, we are allowed to permanently reduce the deposit letter of credit specified amount provided that our exposure with respect to the deposit letter of credit obligations is less than the balance in the restricted cash account. Increases in our bonding capacity could allow us to further reduce the deposit letter of credit specified amount, however the issuance of a bond is at the surety’s sole discretion and may not always be available to us on reasonable terms.
 
Certain trends or uncertainties could have a material impact on our liquidity. For example, if interest rates increase substantially, that could dramatically increase our cash interest expense; if we are required to increase our bonding requirements on current or future projects it could materially impact our available liquidity under the senior secured revolving credit facility; if the economy suddenly weakens or governments materially reduce future funding for nuclear remediation or D&D projects, these events could have a negative effect on our liquidity. Furthermore, we have the ability to hedge interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations and we actively monitor these markets in order to mitigate our exposure to these risks.

We had accumulated benefit obligations related to pension plans of $3.8 billion as of December 31, 2012. See Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Annual Report for a more detailed discussion. Approximately 98% of that obligation relates to the Magnox pension plan. The Magnox pension plan is funded by contributions from employees and the NDA in the U.K. pursuant to a contractual arrangement. As a result, we are reimbursed for contributions made to the Magnox pension plan under the terms of these contracts. Thus, we have no potential net funding requirements relative to the accumulated benefit obligation of the Magnox pension plan. Our liquidity is not affected by these contributions as they are only made when we have received the funds from the NDA. We are required to fund the pension plan for our employees of EnergySolutions EU Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of EnergySolutions, Inc. The plan is currently funded by contributions from us and the employees.
 
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash
 
Unrealized translation gains and losses resulting from changes in functional currency exchange rates are reflected in the cumulative translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, most major foreign currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Company had unrealized translation gains of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. The cash held in foreign currencies will primarily be used for project-related expenditures in those currencies, and therefore the Company’s exposure to realized exchange gains and losses is generally mitigated.
 
Senior Secured Credit Facility and Senior Notes
 
On August 13, 2010, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and collateral agent, consisting of a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $560.0 million at a discount rate of 2.5% and a senior secured revolving credit facility with availability of $105.0 million, of which $65.3 million was used to fund letters of credit issued as of September 30, 2013. Borrowings of $289.5 million and $310.6 million, respectively, were held in a restricted cash account as collateral for the Company’s reimbursement obligations with respect to deposit letters of credit for each of the periods ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

On February 15, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement and Consent and Waiver (the "Second Loan Amendment"). The Second Loan Amendment became effective on May 24, 2013 upon the consummation of the

42

Table of Contents

Merger. Pursuant to the Second Loan Amendment, the lenders and the administrative agent consented to i) a waiver of the change of control provisions and certain other covenants and provisions under the senior secured credit facility; ii) any repayment of our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018, provided that any payments are funded from equity contributions made to us by ECP or its affiliates; iii) an extension to the maturity date of our senior secured revolving credit facility, subject to certain conditions and acceptance by the extending revolving lenders; and iv) 1% prepayment premium if any senior secured term loan is refinanced prior to the date that is one year following the execution date of the Second Loan Amendment. We incurred $6.1 million of debt financing fees in connection with the Second Loan Amendment all of which were capitalized and are included in other noncurrent assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013. Parent contributed $3.1 million to fund the payment of these financing fees. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we also incurred $7.0 million of lead arranger banker fees with respect to the Second Loan Amendment, all of which were included in other income (expense), net, within the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Parent contributed $4.3 million to fund the payment of these lead arranger banker fees.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to: (a) Adjusted LIBOR plus 5.00% (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.75%), or ABR plus 4.00% in the case of the senior secured term loan; (b) Adjusted LIBOR plus 4.50% (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.75%), or ABR plus 3.50% in the case of the senior secured revolving credit facility, and (c) a per annum fee equal to the spread over Adjusted LIBOR under the senior secured revolving credit facility, along with a fronting fee and issuance and administration fees in the case of revolving letters of credit. On May 24, 2013, upon the closing of the Merger and pursuant to the Second Loan Amendment, the interest rate on our senior secured term loan was increased by 0.5%.

The senior secured term loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments payable on the last day of each calendar quarter with the balance being payable on August 13, 2016. In addition to the scheduled repayments, we are required to prepay borrowings under the senior secured term loan with (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment provisions and other customary adjustments, (2) 100% of the net proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, (3) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the senior secured credit facility), if the leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 3.0 to 1.0, or 25% of excess cash flow if the leverage ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0 but greater than 1.0 to 1.0, reduced by the aggregate amount of optional and mandatory prepayments made on the senior secured term loan during the forth quarter of the applicable fiscal year. If the leverage ratio is equal to or less than 1.0 to 1.0, we are not required to prepay the senior secured term loan. The excess cash flow calculations (as defined in the senior secured credit facility), are prepared annually as of the last day of each fiscal year. Prepayments of term loan debt resulting from the excess cash flow calculations are due annually five days after the date that the Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year is filed with the SEC. Each optional and mandatory prepayment is applied first, in direct order of maturities, to the next four scheduled principal repayment installments of the senior secured term loan and second, to the other principal repayment installments of senior secured term loan on a pro rata basis. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we made principal debt payments totaling $72.6 million, and as such all mandatory quarterly term loan prepayment requirements have been satisfied.

Upon completion of the Merger Transaction and pursuant to the Second Loan Amendment we were required to reduce our debt with respect to our senior secured term loan and our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018, to $675.0 million or less by October 21, 2013, which repayment deadline was extended to July 15, 2014, pursuant to the Third Loan Amendment as more fully described under "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Overview" of this report. As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of our senior debt was $754.4 million. As such, as of September 30, 2013, we had a mandatory principal repayment of $79.4 million.

The senior secured credit facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness for money borrowed to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facility) and an interest coverage ratio (based upon the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense), both of which are calculated quarterly. Failure to comply with these financial ratio covenants would result in an event of default under the senior secured credit facility and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, preclude us from making further borrowings under the senior secured credit facility and permit the lenders to accelerate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the senior secured credit facility. Based on the formulas set forth in the senior secured credit facility, we are required to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.0 for the quarter ending September 30, 2013, which is reduced by 0.25 on an annual basis through the maturity date. We are required to maintain a minimum cash interest coverage ratio of 2.00 from the quarter ended September 30, 2013 through the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 2.25 through the maturity date. As of September 30, 2013, our total leverage and cash interest coverage ratios were 3.37 and 2.17, respectively. Pursuant to the Second Loan Amendment, the definition of change of control and reporting requirements under the senior secured credit facility were amended.

Table of Contents

The senior secured credit facility also contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, investments and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, affiliate transactions, and dividends and restricted payments. Under the senior secured credit facility, we are permitted maximum annual capital expenditures of $40.0 million for 2013 and each year thereafter, plus for each year the lesser of (1) a one year carryforward of the unused amount from the previous fiscal year and (2) 50% of the amount permitted for capital expenditures in the previous fiscal year. The senior secured credit facility contains events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due, a cross-default provision with respect to other indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount of at least $5.0 million and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control, as defined in the senior secured credit facility. Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were $10.2 million. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our senior secured credit facility.
 
The obligations under the senior secured credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and each of the Company’s domestic subsidiary guarantors, including a pledge of equity interests with the exception of the equity interests in our ZionSolutions subsidiary, which includes investments in the NDT fund of approximately $471.1 million as of September 30, 2013, and other special purpose subsidiaries, whose organizational documentation prohibits or limits such pledge.
 
On August 13, 2010, we completed a $300.0 million private offering of 10.75% senior notes at a discount rate of 1.3%. The senior notes are governed by an indenture among EnergySolutions and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Interest on the senior notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning on February 15, 2011. The senior notes rank in equal right of payment to all existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated debt. In May 2011, we filed a registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the senior notes offering. The SEC declared the registration statement relating to the exchange offer effective on May 27, 2011, and the exchange of the registered senior notes for the unregistered senior notes was consummated on May 31, 2011. We did not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer transaction.
 
At any time prior to August 15, 2014, we are entitled to redeem all or a portion of the senior notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes plus an applicable make-whole premium, as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date. In addition, on or after August 15, 2014, we may redeem all or a portion of the senior notes at the following redemption prices during the 12-month period commencing on August 15 of the years set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the senior secured credit facility. The senior notes and related guarantees are effectively subordinated to our secured obligations, including the senior secured credit facility and related guarantees, to the extent of the value of assets securing such debt. The senior notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of each of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes. If a change of control of the Company occurs, each holder will have the right to require that we purchase all or a portion of such holder’s senior notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the purchase. The indenture contains, among other things, certain covenants limiting our ability and the ability of one restricted subsidiary to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, create or incur liens, sell assets and subsidiary stock, transfer all or substantially all of our assets, or enter into a merger or consolidation transactions, and enter into transactions with affiliates.
 
Each subsidiary co-issuer and guarantor of our senior notes is exempt from reporting under the Exchange Act, pursuant to Rule 12h-5 under the Exchange Act, as the subsidiary co-issuer and each of the subsidiary guarantors is 100% owned by us, and the obligations of the co-issuer and the guarantees of our subsidiary guarantors are full and unconditional and joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on our ability or any subsidiary guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries.

Exelon Agreement
 
In September 2010, we entered into an arrangement, through our subsidiary ZionSolutions, LLC, with Exelon to dismantle the Zion Station nuclear power plant which ceased operation in 1998. Upon closing, Exelon transferred to ZionSolutions substantially all of the assets (other than land) associated with the Zion Station, including all assets held in its NDT. In consideration for Exelon’s transfer of those assets, ZionSolutions agreed to assume decommissioning and other liabilities associated with Zion Station. ZionSolutions also took possession and control of the land associated with Zion Station pursuant to a lease agreement executed at the closing. ZionSolutions is under contract to complete the required decommissioning work according to an established schedule, and to construct a dry cask storage facility on the land for the spent nuclear fuel currently held in spent fuel pools at the Zion Station. Exelon retains ownership of the land and the spent nuclear fuel and associated operational responsibilities following completion of the Zion Station D&D project. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") approved the transfer of the facility operating licenses and conforming license amendments from Exelon to ZionSolutions.
 
To satisfy the conditions of the arrangement between ZionSolutions and Exelon, and to fulfill the requirements of the NRC to approve the license transfer, we (i) secured a $200 million letter of credit facility, (ii) granted an irrevocable easement of disposal capacity of 7.5 million cubic feet at our Clive disposal facility and (iii) purchased the insurance coverages required of a licensee under the NRC’s regulations.
 
We provided a guarantee as primary obligor to the full and prompt payment and performance by ZionSolutions of all its obligations under the various agreements with Exelon. As such, we pledged 100% of our interests in ZionSolutions to Exelon. In addition, we were required to obtain a $200 million letter of credit facility to further support the D&D activities at the Zion Station, which is held by ZionSolutions. If we exhaust our resources and ability to complete the D&D activities, and in the event of a material default (as defined within the Credit Support Agreement), Exelon may exercise its rights to take possession of ZionSolutions. At that point, through their ownership of ZionSolutions, Exelon (not the Company) is then entitled to draw on the funds associated with the letter of credit. Under the terms of our financing arrangements, we obtained restricted cash and took on the liability for the letter of credit facility.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had routine operating leases, primarily related to real estate and rail equipment, and investments in joint ventures.
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had an outstanding variable rate term loan of $454.4 million. Under our senior secured credit facility, we are required to maintain one or more hedge agreements bearing interest at a fixed rate in the aggregate notional amount of no less than 50% of the outstanding principal amounts of our long term debt net of restricted cash.  We were not required to enter into new hedge agreements because the outstanding balances under our senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 10.75% and totaled $300.0 million as of September 30, 2013, which is 64.5% of our outstanding debt, net of $289.5 million in restricted cash collateralizing deposit letters of credit.
 
From time to time, we are required to post standby letters of credit and surety bonds to support certain contractual obligations to our customers, self-insurance programs, closure and post-closure financial assurance, as well as other obligations. As of September 30, 2013, we had $286.5 million in deposit letters of credit issued against cash collateral from our senior secured term loan and $65.3 million of letters of credit issued against our revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, we had $60.5 million in surety bonds outstanding. With respect to the surety bonds, we have entered into certain indemnification agreements with the providers of the surety bonds, which would require funding by us only if we fail to perform under the contracts being insured and the surety bond issuer was obligated to make payment to the insured parties.

Our processing and disposal facilities operate under licenses and permits that require financial assurance for closure and post-closure costs. We provide for these requirements through a combination of restricted cash, cash deposits, letters of credit, surety bonds and insurance policies. As of September 30, 2013 the closure and post-closure requirements for our facilities were $147.6 million.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about matters that are uncertain. These estimates and assumptions are often based on judgments that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, but

45

Table of Contents

all such estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions, and it is possible that other professionals, applying their own judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support alternative estimates and assumptions that would result in material changes to our operating results and financial condition. For a further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our 2012 Annual Report.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We believe there has been no material change in our exposure to market risk from that discussed in our 2012 Annual Report.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective as of September 30, 2013, based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act.

PART II
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material developments to the legal proceedings disclosed under Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" in our 2012 Annual Report and Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings" in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

Pennington et al. v. ZionSolutions, LLC, et al.

As previously disclosed, on September 13, 2011, the defendants in the matter titled Pennington et al. v. ZionSolutions, LLC, et al. filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims. On July 29, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division dismissed the entire lawsuit. The plaintiffs have appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.
 
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2012 Annual Report.
Reductions in government funding could harm our businesses.
If Congress does not pass annual appropriations bills in a timely fashion, it may delay spending on new government contracts or cease providing funding for current contracts. During October 2013, the federal government was partially shut-down as a result of Congress’ failure to pass an appropriations bill funding the federal government. The 16 day shut-down ended on October 16, 2013 after Congress passed an agreement to fund the federal government through January 15, 2014 and lift the federal debt limit through Feb. 7, 2014. The failure of Congress to pass an appropriations bill to fund the federal government after January 15, 2014 or raise the federal debt limit by February 7, 2014 could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, any reduction in the level of government funding, particularly at the DOE, may result in, among other things, a reduction in the cleanup and waste handling projects put out for bid by the government or the curtailment of existing government waste disposal programs, either of which may result in a reduction in the number of contract award opportunities available to us, a reduction of waste shipment and disposal activities from DOE sites and an increase in our costs of obtaining a contract award or providing services under the contract.
