Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020
Filed June 19, 2020
File No. 001-06604
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter responds to the comments Team, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “Team,” or the “Company”) received from the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) via email on August 24, 2020, with copy of letter dated July 29, 2020 regarding the above-referenced filings. For your convenience, our response is prefaced by the SEC’s comment in bold text.
Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations, page 34
1.You disclose various non-GAAP financial measures on pages 35 and 36 including "consolidated adjusted net income (loss)", "adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share", "adjusted earnings before interest and taxes ("adjusted EBIT")", "adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization" (“adjusted EBITDA”), and "free cash flow" to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Your disclosure also includes "adjusted EBIT" and "adjusted EBITDA" by segment. Please revise to explain why you believe each of these non-GAAP measures is useful to
potential investors. Also, please revise to disclose to the extent material, any additional purposes for which these non-GAAP measures are used by your management. Refer to the guidance outlined in Item 10(e)(i)(C) and (D) of Regulation S-K.
Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment. In future filings we will disclose with specificity the reasons why management believes the presentation of each non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors and the additional purposes for which management uses such non-GAAP measures pursuant to Item 10(e)(i)(C) and (D) of Regulation S-K as set forth below:
Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.
We define adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share to exclude the following items: costs associated with our OneTEAM program, non-routine legal costs and settlements, restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charges and certain other items as determined by management. We believe adjusting for these items provides investors with additional measures to evaluate the financial performance of our core business operations on a comparable basis from period to period. Consolidated adjusted EBIT, as defined by us, excludes the costs excluded from adjusted net income (loss) as well as income tax expense (benefit), interest charges, foreign currency (gain) loss, and items of other (income) expense. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA further excludes from consolidated adjusted EBIT depreciation, amortization and non-cash share based compensation costs. Segment adjusted EBIT is equal to segment operating income (loss) excluding costs associated with our OneTEAM program, non-routine legal costs and settlements, restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charges and certain other items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA further excludes from segment adjusted EBIT depreciation, amortization, and non-cash share based compensation costs. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, consolidated adjusted EBIT, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures of performance which are commonly used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to analyze operating performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance between periods, and measure our performance against externally communicated targets. Our segment adjusted EBIT and segment adjusted EBITDA is also used as a basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Free cash flow is used by our management and investors to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to stakeholders.
Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Further, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies who may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. The liquidity measure of free cash flow does not represent a precise calculation of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below.
2.Please revise to reconcile the non-GAAP measures "adjusted EBIT" and "adjusted EBITDA" to net income (loss), which appears to be the most comparable GAAP measure. Refer to the guidance outlined in Question 103.02 of the Division's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Regarding Non-GAAP Measures as updated April 14, 2018. The disclosures included in your press releases disclosing your quarterly earnings should be similarly revised.
Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and we will revise our presentation in future filings, as well as future press releases furnished to the SEC, to reconcile consolidated adjusted EBIT and consolidated adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss). An example of the proposed presentation is included below for your reference.

We hereby confirm and acknowledge that: • the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in our filings; • staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and • the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Securities and Exchange Commission April 14, 2005 Page 2 of 11 **************************************************** Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004 Item 1. Business, page 1 1. You state at the beginning of the Business section that you conduct operations in Singapore, Aruba, Canada and Trinidad. With a view to disclosure, tell us the portion of your revenues generated by your operations in those countries, and whether you believe those international operations are material to the company. In this regard, we note that you do not provide further details about your international operations in the Business section and then only mention them briefly in your management’s discussion and analysis of operating results for fiscal year 2003 compared to 2002. See Item 101(d) of Regulation S-K. Team Response: We confirm that appropriate disclosure will be added to Form 10-K for year ended May 31, 2005. In our Form 10-Q filing for the period ended February 28, 2005, we have added disclosures in the MD&A section disclosing the components of foreign revenues for both the industrial services and equipment sales and rental segments. Item 6: Selected Financial Data, page 9 2. In accordance with Item 301 of Regulation S-K, revise your Selected Financial Data to describe factors such as accounting changes, business combinations, or dispositions which may affect the comparability of information included in the selected financial data. Alternatively, you can cross-reference to a similar discussion of the above. Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our Selected Financial Data in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, page 10 3. We encourage you to provide a forward-looking, executive-level overview that provides context for the remainder of the discussion in management’s discussion and analysis. Generally, start your discussion with an overview of your sources of revenue and significant factors to consider in evaluating your financial condition. This overview should contain only the most important elements of the company’s business that Securities and Exchange Commission April 14, 2005 Page 3 of 11 management considers on a day-to-day basis in running the company. In addition, when considering future revisions to management’s discussion and analysis, please consult the Commission’s December 2003 interpretive release on management’s discussion and analysis, Release No. 34-48960, available on our website at <http://www.sec.gov/rules/interp/33-8350.htm>. Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our MD&A discussion in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. In our Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005, we have added a lead-in “overview” section addressing the important elements of our day-to-day business. 4. We note you discuss the line item for revenues, but do not discuss year-to-year changes in line items such as net income, operating expenses, interest, and taxes. Please discuss changes in these line items (as well as changes in other material line items), quantifying the changes, disclosing the percentage change, and analyzing whether or not management believes these changes are known trends or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to materially impact the company’s business going forward. Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our MD&A discussion in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. In our Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005, we have added extensive information in the form of tables and narratives addressing these issues. 5. Please discuss known trends or uncertainties that you reasonably expect will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net sales, revenues or income from continuing operations, as required by Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(3)(ii). For example, we note that you did not experience revenue growth from non-destructive testing services for the fiscal years ended 2003 and 2004. Is this a known trend that you reasonably expect will continue to have a material unfavorable impact on revenues? As another example, how do you anticipate your acquisitions will impact your results? Please revise your Management’s Discussion and Analysis section to not only discuss past operating results, but the possible material impact of known trends or uncertainties on future operating results. Securities and Exchange Commission April 14, 2005 Page 4 of 11 Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our MD&A discussion in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. In our Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005, we have added information in the form of tables and narratives addressing these issues. 6. We note your presentation of “earnings before interest and taxes,” or EBIT, on a consolidated basis. Please identify this measure as a non-GAAP measure. Refer to Question 21 of our frequently asked questions on non-GAAP measures which is available on our website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/faqs/nongaapfaq.htm. In addition, disclose why management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors. Team Response: As discussed with Dave Waltz by telephone, we have adopted the terminology, “operating income” in lieu of our previous use of the term earnings before interest and taxes, or “EBIT”. 7. Disclose if management considers consolidated EBIT to be an indicator of operating performance or liquidity. If you present consolidated EBIT as a measure of operating performance, please refer to the guidance in Questions 8 and 15 of our frequently asked questions on non-GAAP measures. In this regard, if you present a non-GAAP measure that excludes recurring charges, you must provide detailed disclosures why management believes a performance measure that excludes these recurring charges is useful. Your discussion should, at a minimum, disclose the following: • the manner in which management uses the non-GAAP measure to conduct or evaluate the business; • the economic substance behind management’s decision to use such a measure; • the material limitations associated with the use of the non-GAAP measure as compared to the use of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss); and • the manner in which management compensates for these limitations when using the non-GAAP financial measure. Team Response Management considers operating income, which, for Team, is equivalent to earnings before interest and taxes, to be an indicator of operating performance. As disclosed in the MD&A section of our Form 10-Q for the period ending February 28, 2005, we believe that operating income is an appropriate performance measure to discuss since it allows Securities and Exchange Commission April 14, 2005 Page 5 of 11 investors to consider our operating performance without regard to financial leverage and capital structure. 8. We note that you also refer to EBIT as “operating profits.” We encourage you to use another term, since “operating profits” may be confused with the similarly titled GAAP measure “operating income.” See Item 10(e)(1)(ii)(E) of Regulation S-K. Team Response In our Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005, we have deleted the confusing terminology, “operating profits” and replaced it with the term “operating income” Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 12 9. Please provide a more detailed discussion of your short-term and long-term sources of funds, and why you believe you have sufficient funds and adequate financial sources available to meet your anticipated liquidity needs. For example, while we recognize that your liquid working capital for the 2004 fiscal year end equaled $16.3 million and represented an increase of approximately 54% over the prior year, we also note the following: • $16,160,000 of your long-term debt matures in the fiscal year ended 2006; • you purchased Thermal Solutions, Inc.; • you increased your total outstanding debt by $7.5 million • your lease commitments for the 2006 year end amount to $2,029,000; and • you just purchased Cooperheat-MQS, Inc., a company that is operating as debtor-in-possession in a Chapter 11 case. How do these matters impact your liquidity and capital resources? Team Response With respect to our Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2004, we would point out to the staff that the disclosure of a new credit facility on page 13 (Liquidity and Capital Resources) addresses the questions raised by the bulleted points above. With respect to our Form 10-Q for the period ending February 28, 2005, we have added disclosure about our cash flows and extension of our credit capacity. 10. We note your discussion of “liquid working capital.” Please discuss cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financial activities. Securities and Exchange Commission April 14, 2005 Page 6 of 11 Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our MD&A discussion in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. With respect to our Form 10-Q for the period ending February 28, 2005, we have added disclosure about our cash flows and extension of our credit capacity. Critical Accounting Policies, page 13 11. Please explain how each accounting estimate could materially affect your operations and financial condition. In this respect, your discussions of revenue recognition, valuation of goodwill and deferred income taxes do not contain any specific analysis of how the estimates used in each of these areas are significant to the company, and do not quantify the estimates you are making with regard to each critical accounting policy. For example, with regard to your accounting for deferred income taxes, why does management believe that it is more likely than not that Team will have sufficient future taxable income to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets? What would be the impact of recording an increase in your valuation allowance, and would that impact materially affect your operations and financial condition? Please provide this detailed analysis for each critical accounting estimate. Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our MD&A discussion in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. With respect to our Form 10-Q for the period ending February 28, 2005, we have added information that we are assured of realizing deferred tax assets because of our track record of consistent earnings growth over the past five years and our projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. We have also added disclosure about how goodwill is allocated to reporting units and that the annual impairment test will be conducted at year-end. Finally, with respect to revenue recognition, we added disclosure to that our revenue recognition does not involve a significant amount of estimation, but that there is an aspect of earned but unbilled revenue that exists at the end of each period, which at February 28, 2005 amounted to $1.8 million. Securities and Exchange Commission April 14, 2005 Page 7 of 11 Financial Statements, page 15 Consolidated statements of operations, page 17 12. Delete the line item “Earnings before interest and taxes” from the face of the statement of operations and elsewhere. This line item is not in accordance with Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X and further it represents a non-GAAP measure. You should only include this line item in the segment footnote if “Earnings before interest and taxes” is your segment measure of profit/loss. Team Response: As per our telephone conversation with Dave Walz on April 12, 2005, in our Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005, we have revised the caption as operating income. Footnote 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Goodwill, page 21 13. In describing the company’s accounting for Goodwill, you indicate the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, ‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets’ effective June 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires an impairment test, both on an annual basis and in the instance of indicators of impairment. This impairment test is to be performed at the reporting unit level. Tell us specifically how you identified your reporting units, and revise your disclosures to include this detail in this footnote and in your critical accounting policies. Also, tell us what those reporting units are in accordance with paragraph 30 of SFAS No. 142 and EITF D-101. Additionally, tell us how you have determined the amount of goodwill to be assigned to the reporting units. Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our Goodwill disclosure in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. In our Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005, we have added disclosure about the composition of goodwill, the additions/adjustments to goodwill from May 31, 2004 to February 28, 2005, how goodwill was assigned to each reporting unit and how reporting units were determined. 14. Specifically describe in your goodwill policy the manner in which you conduct annual impairment testing. For example, explain that the first step in the process is to identify potential goodwill impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit Securities and Exchange Commission April 14, 2005 Page 8 of 11 to its carrying amount. The second step measures the amount of the impairment based on a comparison of the ‘implied fair value’ of goodwill with its carrying amount. Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our Goodwill disclosure in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. Nothing, with respect to this comment, is added in our Form 10-Q for the period ending February 28, 2005 as this is an annual test which we perform at the end of each fiscal year. 15. Provide the disclosures required by paragraph 45(c) of SFAS 142. Team Response: We confirm that appropriate information will be added to our Goodwill disclosure in our Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2005. For the period ending February 28, 2005, we have added the required disclosures to Note 9, Goodwill, in the consolidated conden

Selected Financial Data to describe factors such as accounting
changes, business combinations, or dispositions which may affect
the
comparability of information included in the selected financial
data.
Alternatively, you can cross-reference to a similar discussion of
the
above.
Item 7. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions
and Results of Operations, page 10
3. We encourage you to provide a forward-looking, executive-level
overview that provides context for the remainder of the discussion
in
management`s discussion and analysis. Generally, start your
discussion with an overview of your sources of revenue and
significant factors to consider in evaluating your financial
condition. This overview should contain only the most important
elements of the company`s business that management considers on a
day-to-day basis in running the company. In addition, when
considering future revisions to management`s discussion and
analysis,
please consult the Commission`s December 2003 interpretive release
on
management`s discussion and analysis, Release No. 34-48960,
available
on our website at <http://www.sec.gov/rules/interp/33-8350.htm>.
4. We note you discuss the line item for revenues, but do not
discuss
year-to-year changes in line items such as net income, operating
expenses, interest, and taxes. Please discuss changes in these
line
items (as well as changes in other material line items),
quantifying
the changes, disclosing the percentage change, and analyzing
whether
or not management believes these changes are known trends or
uncertainties that are reasonably likely to materially impact the
company`s business going forward.
5. Please discuss known trends or uncertainties that you
reasonably
expect will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net
sales, revenues or income from continuing operations, as required
by
Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(3)(ii). For example, we note that you
did
not experience revenue growth from non-destructive testing
services
for the fiscal years ended 2003 and 2004. Is this a known trend
that
you reasonably expect will continue to have a material unfavorable
impact on revenues? As another example, how do you anticipate
your
acquisitions will impact your results? Please revise your
Management`s Discussion and Analysis section to not only discuss
past
operating results, but the possible material impact of known
trends
or uncertainties on future operating results.
6. We note your presentation of "earnings before interest and
taxes,"
or EBIT, on a consolidated basis. Please identify this measure as
a
non-GAAP measure. Refer to Question 21 of our frequently asked
questions on non-GAAP measures which is available on our website
at
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/faqs/nongaapfaq.htm. In
addition, disclose why management believes that the presentation
of
this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to
investors.
7. Disclose if management considers consolidated EBIT to be an
indicator of operating performance or liquidity. If you present
consolidated EBIT as a measure of operating performance, please
refer
to the guidance in Questions 8 and 15 of our frequently asked
questions on non-GAAP measures. In this regard, if you present a
non-GAAP measure that excludes recurring charges, you must provide
detailed disclosures why management believes a performance measure
that excludes these recurring charges is useful. Your discussion
should, at a minimum, disclose the following:
* the manner in which management uses the non-GAAP measure to
conduct
or evaluate the business;
* the economic substance behind management`s decision to use such
a
measure;
* the material limitations associated with the use of the non-GAAP
measure as compared to the use of the most directly comparable
GAAP
measure, net income (loss); and
* the manner in which management compensates for these limitations
when using the non-GAAP financial measure.
8. We note that you also refer to EBIT as "operating profits." We
encourage you to use another term, since "operating profits" may
be
confused with the similarly titled GAAP measure "operating
income."
See Item 10(e)(1)(ii)(E) of Regulation S-K.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 12
9. Please provide a more detailed discussion of your short-term
and
long-term sources of funds, and why you believe you have
sufficient
funds and adequate financial sources available to meet your
anticipated liquidity needs. For example, while we recognize that
your liquid working capital for the 2004 fiscal year end equaled
$16.3 million and represented an increase of approximately 54%
over
the prior year, we also note the following:
* $16,160,000 of your long-term debt matures in the fiscal year
ended
2006;
* you purchased Thermal Solutions, Inc.;
* you increased your total outstanding debt by $7.5 million
* your lease commitments for the 2006 year end amount to
$2,029,000;
and
* you just purchased Cooperheat-MQS, Inc., a company that is
operating as debtor-in-possession in a Chapter 11 case.
How do these matters impact your liquidity and capital resources?
10. We note your discussion of "liquid working capital." Please
discuss cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from
investing activities, and cash flows from financial activities.
Critical Accounting Policies, page 13
11. Please explain how each accounting estimate could materially
affect your operations and financial condition. In this respect,
your discussions of revenue recognition, valuation of goodwill and
deferred income taxes do not contain any specific analysis of how
the
estimates used in each of these areas are significant to the
company,
and do not quantify the estimates you are making with regard to
each
critical accounting policy. For example, with regard to your
accounting for deferred income taxes, why does management believe
that it is more likely than not that Team will have sufficient
future
taxable income to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets?
What would be the impact of recording an increase in your
valuation
allowance, and would that impact materially affect your operations
and financial condition? Please provide this detailed analysis
for
each critical accounting estimate.
Financial Statements, page 15
Consolidated statements of operations, page 17
12. Delete the line item "Earnings before interest and taxes" from
the face of the statement of operations and elsewhere. This line
item is not in accordance with Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X and
further it represents a non-GAAP measure. You should only include
this line item in the segment footnote if "Earnings before
interest
and taxes" is your segment measure of profit/loss.
Footnote 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Goodwill, page 21
13. In describing the company`s accounting for Goodwill, you
indicate
the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, `Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets` effective June 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142
requires an impairment test, both on an annual basis and in the
instance of indicators of impairment. This impairment test is to
be
performed at the reporting unit level. Tell us specifically how
you
identified your reporting units, and revise your disclosures to
include this detail in this footnote and in your critical
accounting
policies. Also, tell us what those reporting units are in
accordance
with paragraph 30 of SFAS No. 142 and EITF D-101. Additionally,
tell
us how you have determined the amount of goodwill to be assigned
to
the reporting units.
14. Specifically describe in your goodwill policy the manner in
which
you conduct annual impairment testing. For example, explain that
the
first step in the process is to identify potential goodwill
impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting
unit to its carrying amount. The second step measures the amount
of
the impairment based on a comparison of the `implied fair value`
of
goodwill with its carrying amount.
15. Provide the disclosures required by paragraph 45(c) of SFAS
142.
Footnote 13 - Acquisitions, page 35
16. Provide to us a condensed balance sheet for TSI, indicating
the
amount assigned to each major asset and liability caption of TSI
at
the acquisition date. Refer to SFAS 141, paragraph 51(e).
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, page 38
17. Item 307 of Regulation S-K and Securities and Exchange Act
Rule
13a-15(b) require the evaluation of the effectiveness of the
company`s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by the report. Please confirm to us supplementally
that your chief executive officer and chief financial officer
evaluated the effectiveness of the company`s disclosure controls
and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Form 10-K.
18. We note your disclosure that "[t]here have been no significant
changes in the Company`s internal controls or in other factors
that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date
of
their evaluation" (emphasis added). Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K
requires the disclosure of any change in your internal control
over
financial reporting identified in connection with an evaluation
thereof that occurred during your last fiscal quarter (or your
fourth
fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, your
internal
control over financial reporting. Please confirm to us
supplementally that there was no change in your internal control
over
financial reporting that occurred during your fourth fiscal
quarter
in 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, your internal control over financial reporting.
In addition, please provide similar confirmations with respect to
your Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended August 31, 2004 and
November
30, 2004. Please comply with Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K in
future
filings.
