This Form 8-K/A No. 1. effects no other changes. For the convenience of the reader all of the information previously contained in the Original 8-K is reproduced below.

 

ITEM 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

ITEM 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off- Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously reported, on November 20, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MasTec”, “we”, “us” or “our”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Precision Acquisition, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Buyer”), completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Precision Pipeline LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Precision Pipeline”), and Precision Transport Company, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Transport” and, together with Precision Pipeline, “Precision” or the “Companies”), pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated November 3, 2009 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among MasTec, Buyer, the Companies and the sellers named therein (the “Sellers”). Precision is a natural gas, crude oil and refined products transmission pipeline construction and infrastructure services provider in North America.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, Buyer paid to the Sellers approximately $132 million in cash, of which $15 million will be held for a period of 18 months following the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement to fund the Sellers’ potential indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement. As previously reported, Buyer will pay to Sellers an earn out over five years (the “Earn-Out”) equal to 40% of Precision’s EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for the last two months of 2009 and 30% of Precision’s annualized EBITDA in excess of $35 million for the remainder of the Earn-Out period, payable, at MasTec’s option, in cash or, under certain circumstances, shares of MasTec’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share, or a combination thereof.

As of the Closing Date, the Companies had approximately $33.6 million in outstanding indebtedness, of which approximately $11.6 million is guaranteed by the Sellers (the “Seller Guarantees”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Companies and MasTec must use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Sellers released from the Seller Guarantees, and MasTec and the Companies have agreed to indemnify the Sellers from any liability related to or arising out of the Seller Guarantees. Additionally, MasTec anticipates that it will guarantee substantially all of the Companies’ outstanding indebtedness.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 4, 2009 as Exhibit 10.1 to MasTec’s Current Report on Form 8-K.


ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 23, 2009, MasTec issued a press release regarding the Acquisition. A copy of that press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” with the Commission nor incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Board of Directors and Stockholders

PPL Management, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Eau Claire, Wisconsin

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PPL Management, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. This interim financial information is the responsibility of the company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

 

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company’s Business and Operating Cycle

PPL Management, Inc. is the holding company for Precision Pipeline, LLC (Pipeline). Pipeline services the oil and gas industries which own and operate interstate and intrastate pipelines in the United States as both a general contractor and subcontractor. The Company constructs large and small diameter loop and lateral lines.

The length of the Company’s contracts varies, but is typically less than one year. Accordingly, assets to be realized and liabilities to be liquidated within the operating cycle are classified as current assets and liabilities.

Basis of Consolidation

In January 2008, PPL Management, Inc. acquired additional membership units of Precision Pipeline, LLC. After this acquisition PPL owned a controlling interest in Precision Pipeline, LLC (98%). Prior to 2008 PPL Management, Inc. was a variable interest entity of Precision Pipeline, LLC. The remaining two percent ownership is included in non-controlling interest in equity in the accompanying financial statements. The consolidated group included in the accompanying financial statements has not changed.

Certain variable interest entities (VIEs) are required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.

The consolidated financial statements include the statements of PPL Management, Inc. (PPL), Precision Pipeline, LLC (Pipeline) and two VIEs, Precision Transport, LLC (Transport), and Precision Land Company, LLC (Land), of which Pipeline is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances between Pipeline, Transport, Land, and PPL have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenues from fixed-price, modified fixed-price and unit price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, only after the contract attains a 10% completion stage, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

 

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition (Continued)

 

Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured by the cost-to-cost method, or ratably over the term of the project, depending upon the terms of the individual contract. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change.

Contract costs include all direct material, subcontractors, labor costs, and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Operating expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revenues are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. Claims are included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and subcontractors and may require surety bonds. Liens are filed, when permissible, on construction contracts where collection problems are anticipated. As of September 30, 2009, accounts receivable are due from gas and utility companies.

The Company’s cash balances are maintained in various bank deposit accounts. At various times during the year the balances in those accounts were in excess of those insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are securities held for cash management purposes having maturities of three months or less from date of purchase.

Contracts Receivable

Contracts receivable from performing construction are based on contracted prices. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Normal contracts receivable are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Contract retentions are due 30 days after completion of the project and acceptance by the owner. Receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent.

NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

 

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Contracts Receivable (Continued)

 

Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer. An allowance of $900,000 for delinquent receivables has been recorded at September 30, 2009.

Contract receivables from two customers in 2009 represented approximately 82% of total customer receivables for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. No other customers represented greater than 10% of the total customer receivables in 2009.

Joint Ventures

The Company accounts for joint ventures using the one-line equity method of accounting for equity in the joint venture and proportionate consolidation for revenues and expenses of the joint venture.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Equipment

   3-7 Years

Vehicles

   5 Years

Office Equipment

   5-7 Years

Building

   39 Years

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. Certain long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Income Taxes

Pipeline, Transport, and Land are Wisconsin limited liability companies and are taxed under the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state regulations. As such, the companies do not pay federal or state income taxes on their taxable income. Instead, the members report on their personal income tax returns, the companies’ taxable income and tax credits.

The PPL Management has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar provisions of Wisconsin law, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income.

In such cases, the company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Additional disclosures are required about primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. As a result, the entities described below have been included in these financial statements.

Precision Transport, LLC is a transportation company that provides transportation services to Precision Pipeline, LLC. Precision Land Company, LLC was created to own the land and building that Precision Pipeline is using for its office and shop facilities. These two entities began operations in 2006.

Pro Forma Financial Information

Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL DATA

Effective November 1, 2009, MasTec purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Precision Pipeline, LLC and Precision Transport Company, LLC (together, “Precision”) for an aggregate purchase price, subject to adjustment, composed of (i) approximately $132 million in cash, (ii) the assumption of approximately $34 million of Precision’s debt and (iii) a five-year earn-out equal to 40% of Precision’s EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for the last two months of 2009 and 30% of Precision’s annualized EBITDA in excess of $35 million for the remainder of the earn-out period, payable, at MasTec’s option, in cash or, under certain circumstances, shares of MasTec’s common stock or a combination thereof. In order to provide a portion of the funding of the transaction, MasTec issued $100 million 4.25% senior convertible notes due in 2014.

The financial statements of “Precision” referred to in this unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data are the consolidated financial statements of PPL Management, Inc, of which Precision Pipeline LLC was a 98% owned subsidiary, and their related entities, Precision Transport Company, LLC, and Precision Land Company, LLC. MasTec did not acquire PPL Management, Inc. or Precision Land Company, LLC, or their assets or operations. PPL Management’s operations are substantially limited to employing certain management and administrative personnel, all of whom were transferred to Precision as part of the Precision acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements of MasTec and Precision as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been prepared from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and the unaudited financial statements of Precision as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 has been prepared from our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the audited financial statements of Precision for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared on a basis to reflect the acquisition of Precision as if these transactions occurred as of January 1, 2008 and 2009 for the statements of operations and as if the acquisition of Precision had been completed as of September 30, 2009 for the balance sheet.

The pro forma adjustments are preliminary due to the recent closing of the acquisition and have been made solely for purposes of developing the pro forma financial information necessary to comply with the requirements of the Commission. The impact of the acquisition on the actual results reported by the combined company in periods following the acquisition may differ significantly from that reflected in these pro forma financial statements for a number of reasons. As a result, the pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition been completed on the applicable dates of this pro forma financial information. In addition, the pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company.

You should read these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements in conjunction with (i) our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 and our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and (ii) the audited financial statements of Precision for the three years ended December 31, 2008 incorporated by reference from our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 4, 2009 and the unaudited financial statements of Precision as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, included in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, available information and certain assumptions, and may be revised as additional information becomes available. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments for non-recurring items or anticipated synergies resulting from the acquisition. The pro forma

(1)


adjustments are more fully described in the notes to the unaudited proforma combined condensed financial statements. The pro forma financial information is based on assumptions and adjustments, including assumptions related to the allocation of the purchase price to the underlying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired from Precision based on their respective fair market values. The final purchase price allocation will differ from that reflected in the pro forma financial statements after valuation procedures and amounts recorded in connection with the purchase price allocation are finalized. The impact of such changes could be material. The purchase price allocation included in the pro forma financial information is based on information that was available to the management of MasTec and Precision at the time this pro forma financial information was prepared.

Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments have been prepared based on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but that are subject to change once additional information becomes available and the preliminary purchase price allocation is finalized.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following pro forma adjustments are included in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet:

 

a) Reflects the cash proceeds and long term debt associated with the issuance of $100 million in aggregate principal of the 4.25% senior convertible notes due in 2014.

 

b) Cash paid to the Sellers as purchase price consideration.

 

c) Reflects the portion of Precision’s debt paid off in connection with the acquisition.

 

d) Reflects cash distributed to the Sellers resulting from working capital in excess of the $9 million minimum working capital requirement at September 30, 2009 as set forth in the purchase agreement. As a result of actual cash and working capital balances, approximately $42 million was distributed to the Sellers at closing in November 2009.

 

e) Reflects the elimination of PPL Management and Precision Land, included in Precision’s consolidated financial statements, as these amounts relate to entities not included in the acquisition.

 

f) Adjustment to record the estimated fair value of Precision’s property and equipment at the date of acquisition.

 

g) To record preliminary estimate of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets from the acquisition of Precision as follows:

 

Customer contracts

   $ 14,500

Covenants not-to-compete

     1,800

Goodwill

     95,336
      
   $ 111,636
      

 

h) To record deferred financing costs associated with the issuance of $100 million in aggregate principal of the 4.25% senior convertible notes due in 2014.

 

i) To record the estimated fair value of future earn-out payments to be made to the Sellers.

 

j) Elimination of Precision’s pre-acquisition equity balances.

The following pro forma adjustments are included in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations:

 

k) Reflects preliminary estimated amortization of identifiable intangible assets. Customer contracts are amortized on an accelerated basis to match the utilization of related benefits, and the covenants not-to-compete are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

 

l) Incremental rent expense to be paid to Precision Land previously included in Precision’s consolidated financial statements, but not acquired by MasTec.

 

m) Incremental interest expense on $100 million in aggregate principal of the 4.25% senior convertible notes at a rate of 4.25% per annum.

 

n) Amortization of deferred financing costs.

 

o) Reflects incremental income tax expense as MasTec’s valuation allowance is fully utilized by the additional pro forma net income resulting from the Precision acquisition.

 

p) Diluted earnings per share is calculated on the “if-converted” method and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if restricted stock awards, stock options, convertible notes or other securities to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then share in the earnings of MasTec. Solely for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS, interest expense of $4,306 and $4,410 was added back to net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

 

q) Reflects the elimination of the non-controlling interest in Precision as MasTec purchased 100% of the companies acquired.
