ShawCor Ltd. ("ShawCor" or the "Company") is a growth-oriented, global energy services company specializing in technology-based products and services for the Pipeline and Pipe Services and the Petrochemical and Industrial markets. The Company operates seven divisions with over seventy manufacturing, sales and service facilities located around the world.
Second Quarter 2009 Highlights
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $312.8 million, 6.0% higher than the second quarter of 2008. The increase was due to increased revenue in the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment of the Company, primarily as a result of the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar on the translation of the Company's U.S. dollar denominated revenue partially offset by lower revenue from the Company's Petrochemical and Industrial segment.
During the second quarter of 2009, the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency operating results had a favourable impact on revenue, operating income from continuing operations and net income of approximately $25.1 million, $7.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively compared to the second quarter of 2008.
Net income in the quarter totaled $34.6 million ($0.49 per share, diluted) compared to $28.4 million ($0.40 per share, diluted) in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $6.2 million or 21.8%. The improvement in earnings per share was primarily due to the increase in net income together with the benefit of the reduction in shares outstanding due to the repurchase of 602 thousand Class A Subordinate Voting shares under the Normal Course Issuer Bid over the preceding twelve months.
First Six Months of 2009 Highlights
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations in the first six months of 2009 was $620.2 million, compared to $588.5 million in the first six months of 2008, an increase of $31.7 million or 5.4%. The increase was primarily due to revenue of $23.6 million in the first six months of 2009 that was not present in the first six months of 2008 related to the Flexpipe Systems Inc. ("Flexpipe") acquisition on June 27, 2008 and the favourable effect of foreign exchange fluctuations.
During the first six months of 2009, the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency operating results had a favourable impact on revenue, operating income from continuing operations and net income of approximately $56.0 million, $19.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively compared to the first six months of 2008.
The Company's backlog at June 30, 2009 of $301.5 million declined 25.1% from the level at the beginning of the quarter as strong revenue exceeded new order bookings. While the backlog may decline further in subsequent quarters, bidding activity remains high and the Company continues to pursue several large offshore pipe coating projects. These projects, if awarded to the Company, could generate significant revenues. Overall, consolidated revenue in 2009 is expected to be slightly below the record levels achieved in 2008; however, the Company expects that operating margins in 2009 will meet or exceed those achieved in 2008 as a result of several initiatives including programs to reduce costs and improve efficiencies.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD A") is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The MD A should be read in combination with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, and the MD A included in the Company's 2008 Annual Report. All dollar amounts in the MD A are in thousands of Canadian dollars except per share amounts or unless otherwise stated.
Revenue, Income from Operations and Net Income
ShawCor classifies its revenue and income from operations into two industry segments: Pipeline and Pipe Services, and Petrochemical and Industrial. Discussion of the consolidated operating results and operating results for each of these segments follows:
Consolidated Results ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended June 30, March 31, June 30, (in thousands of Canadian dollars) 2009 2009 2008 Restated(a) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue from continuing operations $312,791 $307,464 $295,118 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income from continuing operations $53,178 $50,434 $27,189 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating margin 17.0% 16.4% 9.2% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (a) Restated for a change in accounting policy - refer to note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009. Second Quarter 2009 versus Second Quarter 2008
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $312.8 million, an increase of $17.7 million or 6%, compared to the second quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily a result of higher revenue in the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment, partially offset by a decrease in the Petrochemical and Industrial segment.
During the second quarter of 2009, the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency operating results had a favourable impact on revenue, operating income from continuing operations and net income of approximately $25.1 million, $7.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively compared to the second quarter of 2008.
Operating income from continuing operations totaled $53.2 million (17.0% of revenue from continuing operations) in the second quarter, representing a 95.6% increase over $27.2 million (9.21% of revenue from continuing operations) achieved in the second quarter of 2008, with the improvement reflecting the increased revenue in the period together with improved operating margins in the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment.
Net income in the quarter totaled $34.6 million ($0.49 per share, diluted) compared to $28.4 million ($0.40 per share, diluted) in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $6.2 million or 21.8%. The improvement in earnings per share was primarily due to the increase in net income together with the benefit of the reduction in shares outstanding due to the repurchase of 602 thousand Class A Subordinate Voting shares under the Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") over the preceding twelve months.
Second Quarter 2009 versus First Quarter 2009
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2009 was marginally higher than the results from the first quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment, partially offset by the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
During the second quarter of 2009, the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency operating results had an unfavourable impact on revenue, operating income from continuing operations and net income of approximately $14.4 million, $2.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2009.
Operating income from continuing operations and net income in the second quarter of 2009 increased $2.7 million or 5.4% and $3.1 or 9.8%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to the increase in consolidated revenue together with improved operating margins. The improvement in operating margins was as a result of greater manufacturing efficiencies and reduced manufacturing input costs, while net income was also favourably impacted by a lower effective income tax rate.
First six months of 2009 versus First six months of 2008
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations in the first six months of 2009 was $620.3 million, compared to $588.5 million in the first six months of 2008, an increase of $31.8 million or 5.4%. The increase was primarily due to revenue of $23.6 million in the first six months of 2009 that was not present in the first six months of 2008 related to the Flexpipe acquisition on June 27, 2008 and the favourable effect of foreign exchange fluctuations.
During the first six months of 2009, the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency operating results had a favourable impact on revenue, operating income from continuing operations and net income of approximately $56.0 million, $19.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively compared to the first six months of 2008.
Operating income from continuing operations in the first six months of 2009 increased $35.5 million or 52.1%, compared to the first six months of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the increase in revenue and improved operating margins, the result of greater manufacturing efficiencies and reduced manufacturing input costs.
Net income for the first six months of 2009 increased $10.9 million or 19.8%, compared to the first six months of 2008, primarily due to the higher operating income, partially offset by higher interest costs and a higher effective income tax rate.
Pipeline and Pipe Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended June 30, March 31, June 30, (in thousands of Canadian dollars) 2009 2009 2008 Restated(a) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue from continuing operations $283,888 $279,951 $258,984 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income from continuing operations $58,853 $56,646 $28,160 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating margin 20.7% 20.2% 10.9% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (a) Restated for a change in accounting policy - refer to note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009. Second Quarter 2009 vs. Second Quarter 2008
In the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment, revenue in the second quarter of 2009 totaled $283.9 million and was $24.9 million or 9.6% higher than in the second quarter of 2008, primarily due to an increase in revenue from Bredero Shaw and the inclusion of revenue from Flexpipe, which was acquired on June 27, 2008.
Revenue for Bredero Shaw in the second quarter of 2009 increased compared to the second quarter of 2008 with the favourable impact of the weaker Canadian dollar on the translation of the division's mainly U.S. dollar-based revenue as well as growth in the division's America's region offsetting a weakening of activity in the division's other regions. In the America's region, revenue in the second quarter of 2009 increased by 28% from the second quarter of 2008, mainly due to strong growth in Mexico and the commencement of the North East Offshore and Tobago pipeline projects in Trinidad, partially offset by a decrease in small diameter pipe coating activity in Western Canada and the United States, which declined by 72% and 43%, respectively. In the Asia Pacific region, revenue in the second quarter of 2009 decreased 24.5% over the second quarter of the prior year as a result of project delays experienced at the division's plant in Kabil, Indonesia. In the Europe, Africa and Russia region, and in the Middle East region, revenue in the quarter was 55% and 41.6% lower, respectively, than in the second quarter of 2008, reflecting reduced pipe coating project activity in those regions.
Operating income from continuing operations in the quarter for the segment totaled $58.8 million (20.7% of revenue from continuing operations) and increased 109.0% from $28.1 million (10.9% of revenue from continuing operations) in the second quarter of 2008. The improvement resulted from higher revenue combined with an operating margin improvement of 9.7 percentage points reflecting improved manufacturing efficiencies associated with higher factory utilization, reduced material prices and a $6.3 million reduction in fixed costs stemming from the reorganization of Bredero Shaw's Europe, Africa and Russia region.
Second Quarter 2009 versus First Quarter 2009
Revenue in the second quarter of 2009 in the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment was marginally higher than the levels achieved in the first quarter of 2009 as increases at Bredero Shaw and Shaw Pipeline Services of 8% and 33%, respectively were almost entirely offset by decreases at Flexpipe and Canusa-CPS.
Revenue in the quarter at Bredero Shaw increased mainly due to revenue relating to the Trinidad project, partially offset by lower small diameter pipe coating volumes in North America and the impact of the winding down of several large diameter pipe coating projects in the Middle East and Europe, Africa and Russia regions. Revenue in the quarter at Shaw Pipeline Services increased primarily due to increased offshore activity, partially offset by lower levels of U.S. land based activity. Revenue for Flexpipe decreased mainly as a result of lower demand for the division's small diameter composite pipe systems due to spring breakup in Western Canada and the build up of inventories of small diameter steel line pipe throughout North America following the dramatic decline in well completions. The decrease at Canusa-CPS was primarily due to a decrease in small diameter pipeline activity in Western Canada.
Operating income from continuing operations in the quarter was marginally higher than the level achieved in the prior quarter, primarily as a result of the increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2009. Operating margin in the second quarter of 2009 improved 0.5 percentage points when compared to the first quarter of 2009, reflecting improved factory utilization and continued reductions in manufacturing input costs.
First six months of 2009 versus First six months of 2008
Revenue in the first six months of 2009 in the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment was $49.1 million or 9.5% higher than in the first six months of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from Flexpipe, which was acquired on June 27, 2008, increased project activity at Bredero Shaw and the favourable impact of the weaker Canadian dollar on the translation of foreign currency operating results.
Operating income from continuing operations in the first six months of 2009 was $115.5 million compared to $66.4 million for the first six months of 2008, an increase of $49.1 million or 74.0%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in revenue during the period and a 7.3 percentage point increase in operating margins, the result of improved operational efficiencies and a decrease in manufacturing input costs.
Petrochemical and Industrial ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended June 30, March 31, June 30, (in thousands of Canadian dollars) 2009 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue from continuing operations $30,100 $29,318 $36,585 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income from continuing operations $2,208 $325 $5,316 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating margin 7.3% 1.1% 14.5% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second Quarter 2009 versus Second Quarter 2008
In the Petrochemical and Industrial segment, revenue in the second quarter of 2009 totaled $30.1 million compared to $36.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $6.5 million or 17.7%. The decrease was due to reduced business activity levels at both DSG-Canusa and ShawFlex as a result of the significantly weaker demand in industrial and automotive markets in North America and Western Europe.
Operating income from continuing operations in the quarter for the segment totaled $2.2 million (7.3% of revenue from continuing operations) compared to $5.3 million (14.5% of revenue from continuing operations) in the second quarter of 2008 and reflected the impact of the lower revenue in the period.
Second Quarter 2009 versus First Quarter 2009
Revenue for the segment in the second quarter of 2009 increased 2.7% over levels in the first quarter of 2009 and reflected some improvement in business activity at DSG-Canusa and ShawFlex.
Operating income in the quarter increased $1.8 million from the prior quarter reflecting the favourable impact on costs resulting from the restructuring of DSG-Canusa's European operations.
First six months of 2009 versus First six months of 2008
Revenue for the Petrochemical and Industrial segment in the first six months of 2009 was $59.4 million compared to $74.7 million for the first six months of 2008, a decrease of $15.3 million or 20.5%. The decrease was mainly due to declines at both DSG-Canusa and ShawFlex reflecting the current global economic downturn, especially in the automotive industry. ShawFlex revenue was negatively impacted during the first six months of 2009 due to lower industry wire and cable prices as a result of the lower price of copper compared to the first six months of 2008.
Operating income in the first six months of 2009 was $2.5 million and in the first six months of 2008 was $11.4 million, a decrease of $8.9 million or 78.1%. The decrease was primarily as a result of the decrease in revenue during the period and a 11.0 percentage point decrease in operating margins, resulting from the impact of lower revenue on factory utilization and an increase in fixed costs related to restructuring at DSG-Canusa.
Financial and Corporate
Financial and corporate costs consist of corporate office costs not charged to the operating divisions and other non-operating items including foreign exchange gains and losses on cash balances. Financial and corporate costs for the second quarter of 2009, before net foreign exchange losses of $1.5 million, totaled $6.3 million compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2008, before net foreign exchange losses of $1.1 million. The increase in corporate costs reflects compensation and other costs associated with an increase in personnel active in the deployment of the Company's operational improvement programs.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense totaled $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $895 thousand in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $705 thousand, primarily due to lower cash balances compared to the second quarter of 2008 as a result of the Flexpipe acquisition on June 27, 2008 and cash employed to repurchase shares under the NCIB and pay dividends totaling $36.5 million over the twelve month period.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense related to continuing operations in the second quarter of 2009 was $17.2 million, an effective rate of 33.5%, compared to $8.3 million or an effective rate of 31.6% in the second quarter of 2008 and $17.3 million, an effective rate of 35.4%, in the first quarter of 2009. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2009 was higher than the Company's expected tax rate of 31%, primarily as a result of foreign withholding taxes on inter-corporate dividends and the impact of certain costs which are not deductible for income tax purposes.
Cash Flow
Cash provided by continuing operating activities in the second quarter of 2009 totaled $58.1 million, compared to $66.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $38.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 with the changes reflecting the changes in income from continuing operations as well as the movement in net working capital. During the quarter, the change in non-cash working capital and foreign exchange was a decrease of $5.6 million, with reduced accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid project expenses and higher taxes payable, partially offset by lower accounts payable and deferred revenue.
Cash used in continuing investing activities in the second quarter of 2009 totaled $10.6 million, compared to $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 and $145.4 million in the second quarter of 2008, and was comprised of capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment of $6 million and a long-term notes receivable of $4.2 million advanced to an unrelated party to support the construction of port facilities for the Bredero Shaw plant in Kabil, Indonesia. The expanded port facilities are necessary to support major international pipeline projects that are anticipated to occur in the region over the next few years.
Cash used in continuing financing activities in the second quarter of 2009 totaled $51.6 million, compared to $18.7 million last quarter and cash provided by continuing financing activities of $59.4 million in the second quarter of 2008, and consisted of dividends paid to shareholders of $22.9 million and the repayment of the Senior Notes of $28.7 million.
Other Comprehensive Loss
Other comprehensive loss in the quarter totaled $28.8 million and was comprised of an unrealized foreign currency translation loss, net of hedging activities, primarily due to the favourable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and a gain on foreign exchange related to the $28.7 million repayment on the Senior Notes transferred to net income in the current quarter.
Liquidity and Capitalization
At June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a working capital ratio (the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) of 1.85 to 1 compared to 1.65 to 1 at December 31, 2008. Operating working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, bank indebtedness, the current portion of long-term debt, current future taxes and working capital of discontinued operations, decreased $17.8 million during the quarter to $176.4 million, reflecting lower accounts receivables and inventory levels.
Change in Accounting Policies
The following are changes in the Company's accounting policies which came into effect in the first quarter of 2009:
a) Goodwill and Intangible Assets
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted CICA Handbook section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Also as of this date, as is required on adoption of this section, the Company no longer applies Emerging Issues Committee Abstract EIC-27, Revenues and Expenditures During the Pre-operating Period. As required, this accounting standard has been adopted retrospectively with restatement of prior year figures. The following adjustments were made to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this accounting standard:
Change in Consolidated Balance Sheets: As at As at Dec. 31, Dec. 31, (in thousands of Canadian dollars) 2008 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase in inventories $ 1,678 $ 2,501 Decrease in other assets (3,285) (5,067) Increase in future taxes 484 770 --------------------------- Decrease in total assets $ (1,123) $ (1,796) --------------------------- --------------------------- Future income taxes $ - $ - Decrease in retained earnings (1,123) (1,796) --------------------------- Decrease in total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ (1,123) $ (1,796) --------------------------- --------------------------- Change in Consolidated Statement of Income: Three Months Six Months Ended Ended June 30, June 30, (in thousands of Canadian dollars) 2008 2008 ------------------------------------------- ------------- ------------- Increase in cost of goods sold $ 6,260 $ 6,560 Decrease in income taxes (1,878) (1,968) ------------- ------------- Decrease in income from continuing operations $ 4,382 $ 4,592 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Decrease in net income $ 4,382 $ 4,592 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Earnings per share Basic Continuing operations $ (0.06) $ (0.06) Total $ (0.06) $ (0.06) Diluted Continuing operations $ (0.06) $ (0.06) Total $ (0.06) $ (0.06)
The following is a description of the revised accounting policy adopted by the Company as a result of implementing this accounting change:
Costs incurred in the mobilization of project-specific plants for fixed term projects are included in work-in-process inventories and are charged to costs of goods sold on a percentage-of-completion basis. Such costs are to be included in inventories only if incurred after the Company is awarded the project and if directly related to the performance of the contract.
b) Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EIC-173, Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The adoption of this accounting standard had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
International Financial Reporting Standards
During 2008, the AcSB confirmed that publicly accountable enterprises, including the Company, will be required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") in place of Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for interim and annual reporting purposes. The required changeover date is for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
The Company has commenced the process to transition to IFRS and has developed a project plan, which was described in the Company's 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders.
The Company is currently engaged in the solution development phase of the project, which involves the training of project team members and the development of new IFRS accounting policies and implementation guidance. This phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2009.
During the implementation phase, the Company will execute the changes to business processes, financial systems, accounting policies, disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting that will be required to implement IFRS. This phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2010.
At this time, the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements is not reasonably determinable.
Financial Instruments
The following table sets out the notional amounts outstanding under foreign exchange contracts, the average contractual exchange rates and the settlement of these contracts as at June 30, 2009:
June 30, (in thousands) 2009 ------------------------------------------------------- ---------- U.S. dollars sold for Canadian dollars Less than one year US$ 12,000 Weighted-average rate 1.1544 Euros sold for U.S. dollars Less than one year Euro 2,150 Weighted-average rate 1.4490 One year to two years Euro 2,200 Weighted-average rate 1.4465
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had notional amounts of $20.8 million of forward contracts outstanding ($25.5 million as of December 31, 2008) with the fair value of the Company's net benefit from all foreign exchange forward contracts totaling $128 thousand ($1.5 million, net obligation, as of December 31, 2008).
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These estimates and assumptions are made with management's best judgment given the information available at the time; however, actual results could differ from the estimates. Critical estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements were materially unchanged during the quarter, as compared to those disclosed in the Company's last annual MD A contained in the Company's 2008 Annual Report.
Risks and Uncertainties
Operating in an international environment, servicing predominantly the oil and gas industry, ShawCor faces a number of business risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect its projections, businesses, results of operations and financial condition. There were no material changes in the nature or magnitude of such business risks during the quarter. A more complete outline of the risks and uncertainties facing the Company are included in the annual MD A contained in the Company's 2008 Annual Report.
Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations during the quarter, other than those that would be expected in the ordinary course of business.

Refer to note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
The following are key factors affecting the comparability of quarterly financial results.
The Company's operations in the Pipeline and Pipe Services segment, representing more than 90% of the Company's consolidated revenue, are largely project-based. The nature and timing of projects can result in variability in the Company's quarterly revenue and profitability. In addition, certain of the Company's operations are subject to a degree of seasonality, particularly in the Pipeline and Pipe Services market segment. The comparability of the quarterly information disclosed above is also impacted by movements in exchange rates as the majority of the Company's revenue is transacted in currencies other than Canadian dollars, primarily U.S. dollars. Changes in the rates of exchange between the Canadian dollar and other currencies could have a significant effect on the amount of this revenue when it is translated into Canadian dollars.
Outstanding Share Capital
As at July 28, 2009, the Company had 57,389,017 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding and 13,060,209 Class B Multiple Voting Shares outstanding. Each Class B share is convertible into a Class A share at the option of the holder. In addition, as at July 28, 2009, the Company had stock options outstanding to purchase up to 2,907,386 Class A shares.
Management's Health, Safety and Environmental Commitment
The Company is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and ensuring that all business activities are conducted in a manner that protects the environment. This commitment includes designing and operating its plants and individual processes in compliance with applicable government requirements regulating the discharge of substances into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. The Company's program for health, safety and environmental management is further described in the Company's Annual Information Form under Health, Safety, and Environmental Policy.
Outlook
The Company's international business continues to be strong and includes several major projects that are currently being executed. These include the Kumang Cluster and Gumusut projects in Asia and the NEO project in Trinidad. Bidding activity remains high and the Company continues to pursue several large offshore pipe coating projects. These projects, if awarded to the Company, could generate significant revenues. The Company's consolidated order backlog at June 30, 2009, representing the value of firm customer purchase orders expected to be completed within one year, totaled $301.5 million, 25.1% lower than at the beginning of the quarter. Due to project timing, the Company expects that revenue will soften in the fourth quarter.
On a full year basis, the Company's current outlook is for pipeline activity to decline marginally from the levels experienced in 2008 with full year 2009 consolidated revenues for the Company expected to be slightly below the record levels achieved in the prior year. However, the Company expects that operating margins in 2009 will meet or exceed those achieved in 2008 as a result of several initiatives including programs to reduce costs and improve efficiencies.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (in thousands of Canadian Dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated) 1. Accounting policies The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of ShawCor Ltd. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for the preparation of interim financial statements. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. Except as noted below, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies outlined in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. Accordingly, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements. a) Goodwill and Intangible Assets On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted CICA Handbook section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Also as of this date, as is required on adoption of this section, the Company no longer applies Emerging Issues Committee Abstract EIC-27, Revenues and Expenditures During the Pre- operating Period. As required, this accounting standard has been adopted retrospectively with restatement of prior year figures. The following adjustments were made to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this accounting standard: Change in Consolidated Balance Sheets: As at As at December 31, December 31, 2008 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase in inventories $ 1,678 $ 2,501 Decrease in other assets (3,285) (5,067) Increase in future taxes 484 770 --------------------------- Decrease in total assets $ (1,123) $ (1,796) --------------------------- --------------------------- Future income taxes $ - $ - Decrease in retained earnings (1,123) (1,796) --------------------------- Decrease in total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ (1,123) $ (1,796) --------------------------- --------------------------- Change in Consolidated Statement of Income: Three Months Six Months Ended, Ended, June 30, June 30, 2008 2008 ------------- ------------- Increase in cost of goods sold $ 6,260 $ 6,560 Decrease in income taxes (1,878) (1,968) ------------- ------------- Decrease in income from continuing operations $ 4,382 $ 4,592 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Decrease in net income $ 4,382 $ 4,592 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Earnings per share Basic Continuing operations $ (0.06) $ (0.06) Total $ (0.06) $ (0.06) Diluted Continuing operations $ (0.06) $ (0.06) Total $ (0.06) $ (0.06) The following is a description of the revised accounting policy adopted by the Company as a result of implementing this accounting change: Costs incurred in the mobilization of project-specific plants for fixed term projects are included in work-in-process inventories and are charged to costs of goods sold on a percentage-of-completion basis. Such costs are to be included in inventories only if incurred after the Company is awarded the project and if directly related to the performance of the contract. b) Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EIC-173, Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The adoption of this accounting standard had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 2. Stock-based compensation The Board of Directors approved the granting of 490,200 stock options on February 24, 2009 and 20,000 on March 12, 2009 under the 2001 Employee Plan. The total fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2.6 million (2008 - $4.1 million) and the weighted average fair value of the options was $5.58 (2008 - $10.54), calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: 2009 2008 ------------- ------------- Expected life of options 6.25 years 6.25 years Expected stock price volatility 34.68% 29.30% Expected dividend yield 1.55% 0.75% Risk-free interest rate 2.38% 3.68% The fair value of options granted under the 2001 Employee Plan will be amortized to compensation expense over the 5 year vesting period of options. The compensation cost from the continuing amortization of granted stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, was $774 thousand and $1.6 million, respectively ($806 thousand and $1.7 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively). 3. Employee future benefits The Company's cost under both defined benefit and defined contribution arrangements included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively ($2.4 million and $4.8 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively). 4. Discontinued operations On November 2, 2004, the Company announced its decision to close the Mobile, Alabama pipe coating facility (the "Mobile Facility") and by December 31, 2005, operations at the Mobile Facility had ceased. The Company adopted discontinued operation accounting treatment for the Mobile Facility in 2005. The Mobile Facility was part of the Pipeline and Pipe Services market segment. The following table summarizes the financial results and cash flows from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the asset and liabilities as of those dates: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ------------------------- ------------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Revenue $ - $ - $ - $ - ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Income (loss) from operations 293 17,156 314 17,087 Interest expense - - - - ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Income (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes 293 17,156 314 17,087 Income tax recovery (expense) - (6,603) - (6,603) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Income (loss) from discontinued operations $ 293 $ 10,553 $ 314 $ 10,484 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Cash flow used in operating activities $ 789 $ 2,676 $ 677 $ 3,936 Cash flow from (used in) investing activities - - - - ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Cash flow used in operating activities $ 789 $ 2,676 $ 677 $ 3,936 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Current assets $ 11,509 $ 9,785 Property, plant and equipment, net $ - $ - Current liabilities $ 71 $ 38,198 5.

The Company has reviewed the 2008 financial performance of Garneau, as outlined in its public filings, and the protracted decline in its share price and has concluded that the decrease in fair value, based on quoted market prices, of the investment from original cost is other than temporary. The Company has recorded a charge to SG&A expense, in the financial and corporate segment, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of $nil and $336 thousand, respectively ($nil and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively). Long-term notes receivable as of June 30, 2009 relates to amount advanced by the Company to an external party to support the construction of port facilities at a Bredero Shaw plant location in Kabil, Indonesia. 8. Bank indebtedness and Long-term debt As of June 30, 2009, the Company had total operating credit lines of $275.5 million ($293.5 million as of December 31, 2008), of which $74.5 million has been drawn for various standby letters of credit for performance, bid and surety bonds ($81.5 million as of December 31, 2008), to yield unutilized credit facilities of $201.0 million ($198.0 million as of December 31, 2008), excluding the Company's proportionate share of the bank indebtedness of its joint venture, Arabian Pipecoating Company Limited of $689 thousand ($15.4 million as of December 31, 2008). Under the terms of the Company's 5.11% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes"), the Company is required to repay the Senior Notes in three equal annual installments of USD$25 million. On June 30, 2009, the Company made the first repayment of $28.7 million ("Repayment") using the current exchange rate. As at June 30, 2009, $57.1 million was outstanding under the Senior Notes, of which $28.8 has been reclassified as current portion of long- term debt. The Repayment was funded by USD$25.0 million that was permanently repatriated from the Company's U.S. dollar based operations ("Repatriation"). The Repatriation gave rise to a net foreign exchange loss of $678 thousand and was transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income to the consolidated statement of income during the second quarter of 2009. 9.

Financial instruments and financial risk management a) Categories of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Under GAAP, financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets, derivatives and other financial liabilities. The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows: June 30, December 31, 2009 2008 ------------- ------------- Financial assets: Held for trading, measured at fair value Cash $ 77,892 $ 78,932 Short-term investments $ 1,129 - Loans and receivables, recorded at amortized cost Accounts receivable $ 260,489 $ 307,933 Taxes receivable $ 11,363 $ 9,261 Long-term notes receivable $ 4,248 $ - Available for sale, measured at fair value Long-term investments $ 24 $ 360 Derivatives, measured at fair value Derivative financial instruments $ 653 $ 523 Financial liabilities: Other liabilities, recorded at amortized cost Bank indebtedness $ 689 $ 15,418 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 159,032 $ 193,675 Taxes payable $ 58,502 $ 53,405 Current portion of long-term debt $ 28,755 $ 30,672 Long-term debt $ 28,466 $ 60,554 Derivatives, measured at fair value Derivative financial instruments $ 524 $ 2,049 Short-term investments have been classified as held for trading and carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices with changes in those fair values recognized in net income. The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on appropriate valuation methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required to develop these estimates. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values. b) Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts and Other Hedging Arrangements The Company utilizes financial instruments to manage the risk associated with foreign exchange rates. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and the hedge items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The following table sets out the notional amounts outstanding under foreign exchange contracts, the average contractual exchange rates and the settlement of these contracts as of June 30, 2009: June 30, 2009 ---------- U.S. dollars sold for Canadian dollars Less than one year US$ 12,000 Weighted-average rate 1.1544 Euros sold for U.S. dollars Less than one year Euro 2,150 Weighted-average rate 1.4490 One year to two years Euro 2,200 Weighted-average rate 1.4465 As of June 30, 2009, the Company had notional amounts of $20.8 million of forward contracts outstanding ($25.5 million as of December 31, 2008) with the fair value of the Company's net benefit from all foreign exchange forward contracts totaling $129 thousand ($1.5 million, net obligation, as of December 31, 2008). c) Financial Risk Management The Company's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks including: market risk (including foreign exchange and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial position and financial performance. Risk management is the responsibility of Company management. Material risks are monitored and are regularly reported to the Board of Directors. Foreign exchange risk The majority of the Company's business is transacted outside of Canada through subsidiaries operating in several countries. The net investments in these subsidiaries as well as their revenue, operating expenses and non-operating expenses are based in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company's consolidated revenue, expenses and financial position, may be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as these foreign currency items are translated into Canadian dollars. As of June 30, 2009, fluctuations of +/- 5% in the Canadian dollar, relative to those foreign currencies, would impact the Company's consolidated revenue, operating income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations for the three months then ended by approximately $12.8 million, $3.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, prior to hedging activities. In addition, such fluctuations would impact the Company's consolidated total assets, consolidated total liabilities and consolidated total shareholders' equity by $56.3 million, $24.0 million and $32.3 million, respectively. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign exchange risk from its underlying customer contracts. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for speculative purposes. The Company's Senior Notes and associated interest expense are denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollar would impact the carrying value of the Senior Notes in terms of Canadian dollars as well as the amount of interest expense when translated into Canadian dollars. Effective July 3, 2003, the Company designated the Senior Notes as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in the Company's U.S. dollar based operations ("Net Investment"). On April 1, 2009, The Company de-designated USD$25.0 million of the hedge against the Net Investment. As a result, on April 1, 2009 the remaining balance of the Senior Notes of USD$50.0 million was hedged against the Net Investment. The de- designation gave rise to a $2.1 million foreign exchange gain during the second quarter of 2009, which was recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Foreign exchange gains and losses from the hedged portion of the Senior Notes are not included in the consolidated statement of income, but are shown in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2009, fluctuations of +/- 5% in the Canadian dollar, relative to the U.S. dollar, would impact the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income by $2.5 million for the three months then ended. The objective of the Company's foreign exchange risk management activities is to minimize transaction exposures associated with the Company's foreign currency-denominated cash streams and the resulting variability of the Company's earnings. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage this foreign exchange risk. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for speculative purposes. With the exception of the Company's U.S. dollar based operations, the Company does not hedge translation exposures. Interest rate risk The following table summarizes the Company's exposure to interest rate risk at June 30, 2009: Fixed interest rate ------------------------- Maturing Maturing Floating in one year after rate or less one year Total ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 77,892 $ - $ - $ 77,892 Long-term notes receivable 4,248 - - 4,248 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total $ 82,140 $ - $ - $ 82,140 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Financial liabilities Bank indebtedness $ 689 $ - $ - $ 689 Current portion of long-term debt - 28,755 - 28,755 Long-term debt - - 28,466 28,466 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total $ 689 $ 28,755 $ 28,466 $ 57,910 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted-average fixed rate of debt - 5.11% 5.11% ------------ ------------ ------------ The Company's interest rate risk arises primarily from its floating rate bank indebtedness and long-term notes receivable and is not currently considered to be material. Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held with banks, forward foreign exchange contracts, as well as credit exposure of customers, including outstanding accounts receivable. The maximum credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial instruments. The objective of managing counter party credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company is subject to considerable concentration of credit risk since the majority of its customers operate within the global energy industry and are therefore affected to a large extent by the same macroeconomic conditions and risks. The Company manages this credit risk by assessing the credit quality of all counter parties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Management also establishes and regularly reviews credit limits of counter parties and monitors utilization of those credit limits on an ongoing basis. The carrying value of accounts receivable are reduced through the use of an allowance for doubtful accounts and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statement with a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses. When a receivable balance is considered to be uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against selling, general and administrative expenses. As at June 30, 2009, $9.7 million, or 4.0% of trade accounts receivable, were more than 90 days overdue, which is consistent with prior period aging analysis. The following is an analysis of the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008: Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------- 2009 2008 ------------- ------------- Balance, beginning of period $ 6,237 $ 4,165 Bad debt expense 503 295 Write-offs of bad debts (629) (251) Recovery of previously written-off amounts (413) - Impact of change in foreign exchange rates (3) (58) ------------- ------------- Balance, end of period $ 5,695 $ 4,151 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Liquidity Risk The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient, readily available cash reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. The Company achieves this by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and through the availability of funding from committed credit facilities. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has cash and cash equivalents totaling $77.9 million ($78.9 million as of December 31, 2008) and has unutilized lines of credit available to use of $201.0 million ($198.0 million as of December 31, 2008). The following are the contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities as of June 30, 2009: Less than 1 - 2 3 - 4 1 Year Years Years Thereafter Total -------------------------------------------------- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $136,673 $4,669 $438 - $141,780 Asset retirement obligations 17,252 943 1,310 6,930 26,435 Bank indebtedness 689 - - - 689 Long-term debt 28,755 28,466 - - 57,221 Obligations under capital leases 228 519 146 - 893 Interest on obligations under capital leases 22 42 15 - 79 Interest on financial instruments 2,934 1,467 - - 4,401 Derivative financial instruments 524 - - - 524 -------------------------------------------------- Total $187,077 $36,106 $1,909 $6,930 $232,022 -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- 16. Capital management The Company defines capital that it manages as the aggregate of its shareholders' equity and interest bearing debt. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to ensure that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern and continue to provide products and services to its customers, preserve its ability to finance expansion opportunities as they arise, and provide returns to its shareholders. As of June 30, 2009, total managed capital was $809.6 million ($839.2 million as of December 31, 2008), comprised of shareholders equity of $751.8 million ($732.5 million as of December 31, 2008), long- term debt of $28.4 million ($60.6 million as of December 31, 2008), current portion of long-term debt of $28.7 million ($30.7 million as of December 31, 2008) and bank indebtedness of $689 thousand ($15.4 million as of December 31, 2008). The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business investment opportunities. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue or re- acquire shares, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash, cash equivalents, bank indebtedness or long-term debt balances. The Company's capital is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by any regulators; however, it is limited by the terms of its credit facility and long-term debt agreements. Specifically, the Company is required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") divided by interest expense) of more than 2.5 to 1 and a debt to total capitalization ratio of less than 0.45 to one. The Company's capital structure at June 30, 2009 was within the parameters established by these agreements. 17. Segmented information The Company classifies its operations into two general segments of the global energy industry: Pipeline and Pipe Services and Petrochemical and Industrial. Revenue and income (loss) from operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and goodwill and total assets as of those dates by segment are as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ------------------------- ------------------------- 2008 2008 Restated Restated 2009 - note 1 2009 - note 1 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Revenue Pipeline and Pipe Services $ 283,888 $ 258,984 $ 563,839 $ 514,778 Petrochemical and Industrial 30,100 36,585 59,418 74,722 Intersegment Eliminations (1,197) (451) (3,002) (1,025) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ $ 312,791 $ 295,118 $ 620,255 $ 588,475 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Income (loss) from operations Pipeline and Pipe Services $ 58,853 $ 28,160 $ 115,499 $ 66,368 Petrochemical and Industrial 2,208 5,316 2,533 11,391 Financial and Corporate (7,883) (6,287) (14,420) (9,651) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ $ 53,178 $ 27,189 $ 103,612 $ 68,108 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Goodwill Pipeline and Pipe Services $ 204,098 $ 190,779 Petrochemical and Industrial 19,048 18,629 ------------ ------------ $ 223,146 $ 209,408 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total assets Pipeline and Pipe Services $ 1,336,802 $ 1,193,716 Petrochemical and Industrial 78,863 84,242 Financial and Corporate 840,636 945,539 Elimination (1,110,346) (1,082,861) ------------ ------------ $ 1,145,955 $ 1,140,636 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 18.

Recent accounting pronouncements On February 13, 2008, The Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") confirmed that the use of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") will be required in Canada for publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 and the Company will be required to report using IFRS beginning on this date. The Company has begun the process of evaluating the effect of and the planning for the transition to IFRS. The impact of the ultimate adoption of IFRS on the Company has not yet been finalized. In January 2009, the AcSB issued the following new Handbook sections: 1582 - Business Combinations, 1601 - Consolidations, and 1602 - Non- Controlling Interests. These standards are effective January 1, 2011. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of these standards on its consolidated financial statements. 21. Comparative figures Comparative figures have been reclassified from statements previously stated to conform to the presentation of the current year consolidated financial statements, and to show the effects of retrospective application of a new accounting policy (see note 1).
