As a result, the third quarter of fiscal 2020 ended October 3, 2020 included 14 weeks compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended September 28, 2019, which included 13 weeks.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global stock markets and economies. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact the Company's customers and employees. While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on the Company's reported results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact that it may have on its business, future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The extent to which the Company's operations may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact. The Company intends to continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on its business closely.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

---

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods presented. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim period or for the full 2020 fiscal year.

Performance Obligations

To determine the proper revenue recognition method, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services that is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore, is not distinct.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on the Company's cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, sub-consultant services, and other direct costs.

Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed.

As of October 3, 2020, the Company had $638,074 of remaining performance obligations, of which $516,348 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for which work authorizations have been received are included in performance obligations. Most of the Company's government contracts are multi-year contracts for which funding is appropriated on an annual basis, therefore performance obligations include only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts the Company may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts and project awards, performance obligations include future revenue at contract or customary rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, the Company includes revenue from such contracts in performance obligations to the extent of the remaining estimated amount.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on these contracts as of the reporting date. This liability is generally classified as current. Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was $138 and $3,177 for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2020.

There have been no material changes, other than those related to the adopted new accounting standards below, in the Company's significant accounting policies described in the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and simplifies how the amount of an impairment loss is determined. The update is effective for public companies in the beginning of fiscal year 2020 and shall be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this ASU at the beginning of fiscal year 2020. The Company has determined there were no changes to its financial statements as a result of the adoption.

---

Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques, and weights the results accordingly. NV5 Global is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on August 1 of each year. The Company conducts its annual impairment tests on the goodwill using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill.

On August 1, 2020, the Company conducted its annual impairment tests using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. Based on the quantitative analyses the Company determined the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, the goodwill was not impaired and the Company did not recognize an impairment charge relating to goodwill as of August 1, 2020. Furthermore, there were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill was impaired during the period from August 2, 2020 through October 3, 2020.

Identifiable intangible assets primarily include customer backlog, customer relationships, trade names, non-compete agreements, and developed technology. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. There were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate intangible assets were impaired during the nine months ended October 3, 2020.

See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information on goodwill and identified intangibles.

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"). This ASU introduces a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model ("CECL"), which could result in earlier recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model requires the Company to use a forward-looking expected credit loss impairment methodology for the recognition of credit losses for financial instruments at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard also applies to receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU at the beginning of fiscal year 2020. The standard was applied prospectively and did not materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is not considered during periods of loss or if the effect is anti-dilutive.

---

The weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculating basic earnings per share for the nine months ended October 3, 2020 and September 28, 2019 exclude 806,457 and 625,687 non-vested restricted shares, respectively. During the three and nine months ended October 3, 2020, there were 32,859 and 72,634 weighted average securities which are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because their impact is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially anti-dilutive securities during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the net income and weighted average shares outstanding for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended

Goodwill

As discussed in Note 14, Reportable Segments, the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), re-evaluated the structure of the Company's internal organization as a result of the 2019 acquisition of QSI, which resulted in certain changes to the Company's operating and reportable segments. Effective the beginning of fiscal year 2020, the goodwill of QSI was reallocated from the Company's INF reportable segment to the Company's new GEO reportable segment. The changes in the carrying value by reportable segment for the nine months ended October 3, 2020 were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	December 28, 2019				2020 Acquisitions				Adjustments				October 3, 2020
INF	$	231,255			$	—			$	(143,428	)		$	87,827
BTS	77,961				438				449				78,848
GEO	—				—				177,328				177,328
Total	$	309,216			$	438			$	34,349			$	344,003

Goodwill of approximately $5,712 from acquisitions during the nine months ended September 28, 2019 is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. During the nine months ended October 3, 2020, the Company recorded purchase price allocation adjustments of $31,967, $1,215, $420, $293, and $30 that increased goodwill for the acquisitions of QSI, WHP, The Sextant Group, GHD, and Alta, respectively, and a working capital adjustment of $424 for QSI which was recorded as an increase to goodwill and the purchase price paid for the acquisition. The $31,967 increase to goodwill related to the QSI acquisition included a decrease to the fair value of the trade name of $54,313, which was partially offset by increases to the fair value of customer relationships, customer backlog, property and equipment, and other assets of $6,543, $801, $2,093, and $758, respectively, and a decrease to deferred tax liabilities of $12,151.

During the nine months ended October 3, 2020, the Company adjusted the QSI purchase price allocation reported at December 28, 2019 to account for updates to assumptions and estimates related to the fair value of the trade name, customer relationships, and customer backlog. As a result, the Company determined the QSI trade name is a finite-lived asset that will be amortized over a two-year period and the fair value was decreased by $54,313. Additionally, the fair value of customer relationships and customer backlog increased $6,543 and $801, respectively. These changes resulted in a corresponding adjustment to deferred tax liabilities of $12,151. If the adjustments had been recognized as of the acquisition date the Company would have recognized incremental amortization expense of $790 during the three months ended March 28, 2020. Amortization expense was $8,615 and $26,468 for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2020, respectively, and $5,234 and $15,317 for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively.

As of October 3, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the carrying amount of debt obligations approximates their fair values based on Level 2 inputs as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local lending institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics.

Senior Credit Facility

On December 20, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), the Company amended and restated its Credit Agreement (the "A&R Credit Agreement"), dated December 7, 2016, as amended on December 20, 2018, with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), as administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer, the other lenders party thereto, and certain of the Company's

subsidiaries as guarantors. Pursuant to the A&R Credit Agreement, the lenders provided term commitments of $150,000 in the aggregate in a single draw on the Closing Date to fund the acquisition of QSI and various costs and expenses relating thereto and revolving commitments totaling $215,000 in the aggregate. The revolving commitment is available through December 20, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"), at which time the term commitments and revolving commitments will be due and payable in full. An aggregate amount of $320,500 was drawn under the A&R Credit Agreement on the Closing Date to fund the QSI acquisition and repay previously existing borrowings. Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. The A&R Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature permitting the Company to request an increase in either the term facility or the revolver facility under the A&R Credit Agreement by an additional amount of up to $100,000 in the aggregate.

Borrowings under the term facility amortize at the rate of 5.0% per annum for the first two years of the facility and thereafter at the rate of 7.5% per annum until the Maturity Date.

On May 5, 2020 (the "Amendment Closing Date"), in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into an amendment to the A&R Credit Agreement (the "Amended A&R Credit Agreement") to amend the financial covenants that requires NV5 Global to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of the Company's pro forma consolidated funded indebtedness to the Company's pro forma consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period). The amended consolidated leverage ratio requirements are as follows:

Measurement Period Ending	Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio
Amendment Closing Date through June 27, 2020	4.50 to 1.00
June 28, 2020 through October 3, 2020	5.00 to 1.00
October 4, 2020 through January 2, 2021	5.25 to 1.00
January 3, 2021 and April 3, 2021	4.75 to 1.00
April 4, 2021 and July 3, 2021	4.00 to 1.00
July 4, 2021 and thereafter	3.50 to 1.00

These financial covenants also require the Company to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of any measurement period. As of October 3, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.

The Amended A&R Credit Agreement also amended pricing terms which remain variable and tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus an applicable margin or a base rate denominated in U.S. dollars. Interest rates remain subject to change based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. As of October 3, 2020 the Company's interest rate was 3.8%.

The Amended A&R Credit Agreement contains covenants that may have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, enter into a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, create certain new liens, incur certain additional indebtedness, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or engage in new lines of business or sell a substantial part of their assets. The Amended A&R Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including (but not limited to) a default in the payment of principal or, following an applicable grace period, interest, breaches of the Company's covenants or warranties under the Amended A&R Credit Agreement, payment default or acceleration of certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation, certain judgments or uninsured losses, changes in control and certain liabilities related to ERISA based plans.

The Amended A&R Credit Agreement limits the payment of cash dividends (together with certain other payments that would constitute a "Restricted Payment" within the meaning of the Amended A&R Credit Agreement and generally including dividends, stock repurchases and certain other payments in respect to warrants, options, and other rights to acquire equity securities) to no more than $10,000 in any fiscal year, so long as no default shall exist at the time of or arise as a result from such payment.

---

Total debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized in connection with the issuance of the Amended A&R Credit Agreement were $4,123. Total amortization of debt issuance costs was $227 and $669 during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2020.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits typically filed against the engineering, consulting and construction profession, alleging primarily professional errors or omissions. The Company carries professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, against such claims. However, in some actions, parties are seeking damages that exceed our insurance coverage or for which we are not insured. While management does not believe that the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect, individually or in aggregate, on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, management acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate resolution of these matters.

In October 2011, our stockholders approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated in March 2013 (as amended, the “2011 Equity Plan”). The 2011 Equity Plan provides directors, executive officers, and other employees of the Company with additional incentives by allowing them to acquire ownership interest in the business and, as a result, encouraging them to contribute to the Company’s success. We may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other cash-based or stock-based awards. As of October 3, 2020, 871,783 shares of common stock are authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2011 Equity Plan. This reserve automatically increases on each January 1 from 2014 through 2023, by an amount equal to the smaller of (i) 3.5% of the number of shares issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or (ii) an amount determined by our Board of Directors. The restricted shares of common stock granted generally provide for service-based vesting after two to four years following the grant date.

---

The following summarizes the activity of restricted stock awards during the nine months ended October 3, 2020:

	Number of Unvested Restricted Shares of Common Stock and Restricted Stock Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
December 28, 2019	652,677		$	58.20
Granted	384,390		$	47.00
Vested	(201,461)		$	48.88
Forfeited	(22,149)		$	64.00
October 3, 2020	813,457		$	55.21

Stock-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2020 was $4,020 and $10,900, respectively, and $2,819 and $6,989 for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively. Approximately $26,710 of deferred compensation, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.8 years, is unrecognized at October 3, 2020. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the nine months ended October 3, 2020 and September 28, 2019 was $8,837 and $14,514, respectively.

As of October 3, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company had net deferred income tax liabilities of $34,956 and $53,341, respectively. Deferred income tax liabilities primarily relate to intangible assets and accounting basis adjustments where we have a future obligation for tax purposes.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 26.2% and 27.4% for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2020, respectively, and 22.9% and 24.1% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the combined statutory federal and state income tax rate in 2019 was primarily due to the recognition of tax benefits from stock-based payments in the second quarter.

The Company evaluates tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The California Franchise Tax Board (“CFTB”) challenged research and development tax credits generated for the years 2012 to 2014. Fiscal years 2012 through 2019 are considered open tax years in the State of California and 2016 through 2019 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and other state and foreign jurisdictions. It is not expected that there will be a significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company reports segment information in accordance with ASC Topic No. 280 “Segment Reporting” (“Topic No. 280”). Effective the beginning of fiscal year 2020, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), re-evaluated the structure of the Company's internal organization as a result of the 2019 acquisition of QSI. To reflect management's revised perspective, the Company is now organized into three operating and reportable segments: Infrastructure ("INF"), which includes the Company's engineering, civil program management, utility services, and construction quality assurance practices; Building, Technology & Sciences ("BTS"), which includes the Company's environmental practices and buildings program management practices; and Geospatial Solutions ("GEO"), which includes the Company's geospatial solution practices. The GEO segment has been created in order to provide greater visibility regarding the operational and financial performance of QSI and of the Company as a whole. The GEO segment structure is consistent with how the Company plans and allocates resources, manages its business, and assesses its performance. There was no impact to the INF and BTS prior period segment financial results. The assets of QSI were reallocated from the Company's INF reportable segment to the Company's new GEO reportable segment.

The Company evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on their respective operating income before the effect of amortization expense related to acquisitions and other unallocated corporate expenses. The following tables set forth summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments:

⁽¹⁾ Corporate assets consist of intercompany eliminations and assets not allocated to segments including cash and cash equivalents and certain other assets.

Substantially all of the Company's assets are located in the United States.

Upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company disaggregates its gross revenues from contracts with customers by geographic location, customer-type and contract-type for each of our reportable segments. Disaggregated revenues include the elimination of inter-segment revenues which has been allocated to each segment. The Company believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Gross revenue, classified by the major geographic areas in which the Company's customers were located, were as follows:

The Company primarily leases property under operating leases and has six equipment operating leases for aircrafts used by the operations of QSI. The Company's property operating leases consist of various office facilities, which it leases from unrelated parties. The Company uses a portfolio approach to account for such leases due to the similarities in characteristics and apply an incremental borrowing rate based on estimates of rates the Company would pay for senior collateralized loans over a similar term. The Company's office leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for lease components (e.g. fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and common area maintenance costs) as a single lease component. Some of the Company's leases include one or more options to renew the lease term at its sole discretion; however, these are not included in the calculation of its lease liability or ROU lease asset because they are not reasonably certain of exercise.

The Company also leases vehicles through a fleet leasing program. The payments for the vehicles are based on the terms selected. The Company has determined that it is reasonably certain that the leased vehicles will be held beyond the period in which the entire capitalized value of the vehicle has been paid to the lessor. As such, the capitalized value is the delivered price of the vehicle. The Company's vehicle leases are classified as financing leases.
