+Added: The historical financial information prior to the APi Acquisition has not been discussed below as these historical amounts are not considered meaningful.
+Added: Effect of Seasonality and Cyclical Nature of Business
+Added: Our revenue and results of operations can be subject to seasonal and other variations.
+Added: These variations are influenced by weather, and include impacts of customer spending patterns, bidding seasons, project schedules, holidays and timing, in particular, for large, non-recurring projects.
+Added: Typically, our revenue is lowest at the beginning of the year and during the winter months in North America during the first quarter because cold, snowy or wet conditions can cause project delays.
+Added: Revenue is generally higher during the summer and fall months during the third and fourth quarters, due to increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in many of the regions in which we operate.
+Added: Continued cold and wet weather can often affect second quarter productivity.
+Added: In the fourth quarter, many projects tend to be completed by customers seeking to spend their capital budgets before the end of the year, which generally has a positive effect on our revenue.
+Added: However, the holiday season and inclement weather can cause delays, which can reduce revenue and increase costs on affected projects.
+Added: The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted and could continue to result in greater seasonal and cyclical volatility than would otherwise exist under normal conditions.
+Added: Additionally, the industries we serve can be cyclical.
+Added: Fluctuations in end-user demand within those industries, or in the supply of services within those industries, can affect demand for our services.
+Added: As a result, our business may be adversely affected by industry declines or by delays in new projects.
+Added: Variations or unanticipated changes in project schedules in connection with large projects can create fluctuations in revenue.
+Added: Recent Developments
+Added: Impairment of Goodwill and Intangibles
+Added: During the first quarter of 2020, we concluded that a triggering event had occurred for all of our reporting units as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic and we recorded a non-cash charge to reflect the impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets as carrying values exceeded fair value.
+Added: Pursuant to the authoritative literature, we performed impairment tests and determined that, as a result of the impact of COVID-19, which has negatively impacted our operations, suppliers and other vendors, customer base, the demand for work within the oil and gas industry as a result of the volatility in oil prices and other factors outside of the control of management, certain of our goodwill and intangible assets were impaired.
+Added: During the first quarter of 2020, while accounting for the APi Acquisition was still preliminary, we recorded an aggregate preliminary impairment charge of $208 million, which included $203 million recorded to goodwill and $5 million recorded to intangible assets that were part of a business classified as held-for-sale.
+Added: During the third quarter of 2020, we finalized the purchase price allocation for the APi Acquisition which resulted in changes to the carrying values of reporting units, and resulted in a decrease in the preliminary goodwill impairment previously recorded.
+Added: The final revised aggregate impairment charge was $197 million recorded to goodwill, of which $4 million was recorded to a business that was classified as held for sale.
+Added: The adjustment to decrease the total impairment charge by $11 million included a reversal of the impairment of goodwill of $6 million and a reversal of the impairment charge to intangibles assets of $5 million.
+Added: The goodwill impairment of $193 million, consisted of goodwill impairments associated with our Life Safety, Mechanical, Infrastructure/Utility, Fabrication, Specialty Contracting, Transmission and Civil reporting units of $57 million, $26 million, $30 million, $1 million, $21 million, $57 million and $1 million, respectively.
+Added: The circumstances and global disruption caused by COVID-19 has affected, and we believe it will continue to affect, our businesses, operating results, cash flows and financial condition, however the scope and duration of the impact is highly uncertain.
+Added: In addition, some of the inherent estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair value of our reporting units are outside the control of management, including interest rates, cost of capital, tax rates, industry growth, credit ratings, foreign exchange rates, and labor inflation.
+Added: Given the uncertainty of these factors, as well as the inherent difficulty in predicting the severity, waves and duration of the COVID-19 global pandemic and associated recovery and the uncertainties regarding the potential financial impact on our business and the overall economy, there can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the impact in future periods.
+Added: While we believe we have made reasona ble estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair values of our reporting units which were based on facts and circumstances known at such time, it is possible that existing or new events may result in forecasted cash flows, revenue and earnings that diff er from those that formed the basis of our estimates and assumptions.
+Added: For each of our reporting units, particularly if the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 continues to persist for an extended period of time, a reporting unit’s actual results could be ma terially different from our estimates and assumptions used to calculate fair value.
+Added: If so, we may be required to recognize material impairments to goodwill or other long-lived assets.
+Added: We will continue to monitor our reporting units for any triggering event s or other signs of impairment.
+Added: We may be required to perform additional impairment testing based on further deterioration of the global economic environment, continued disruptions to our businesses, further declines in operating results of our reporting u nits and/or tradenames, sustained deterioration of our market capitalization, and other factors, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.
+Added: Although we cannot predict when improvements in macroeconomic conditions will occur, if cons umer confidence and consumer spending decline significantly in the future or if economic activity experiences a sustained deterioration from current levels or governmental stimulus proves to be insufficient, it is reasonably likely we will be required to r ecord additional impairment charges in the future.
+Added: During 2020, impairment was recognized at each reporting unit.
+Added: Subsequent to the impairment recognized, the fair values of each reporting unit approximate carrying value.
+Added: A 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would have resulted in additional impairment charges of $122 million.
+Added: After finalizing the purchase price allocation in the third quarter, remaining goodwill balances at each of our reporting units as well as the sensitivity by reporting unit are shown in the table below:

+Added: Specialty Contracting
+Added: See Note 2 – “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 7 – “Goodwill and Intangibles” of the Interim Statements for additional information.
+Added: In October of 2020, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of SK FireSafety (“SKG”) (the “SKG Acquisition”) and one other US-based Life Safety company for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $302 million (“Acquisitions”).
+Added: These entities will be included in our Safety Services segment.
+Added: Credit Facilities
+Added: At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $232 million and $235 million was available at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, after giving effect to $68 million and $65 million of outstanding letters of credit.
+Added: On October 22, 2020, we entered into an incremental $250 million term loan (“2020 Term Loan”) under the Credit Agreement, which we used to replenish balance sheet cash utilized for the Acquisitions and to pay fees and expenses related to such acquisitions and the financing.
+Added: The interest rate applicable to the 2020 Term Loan is, at our option, either (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.75% or (2) a Eurocurrency rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable margin equal to 2.75%.
+Added: Principal payments on the 2020 Term Loan will commence with the first quarter ending on March 31, 2021 and will be made in quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, for a total annual amount equal to 1.00% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Term Loan.
+Added: The 2020 Term Loan matures on October 1, 2026 .
+Added: The three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were also impacted by certain discrete or non-recurring tax items.
+Added: The income tax expense (benefit) of $28 million and $35 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, was primarily due to changes in tax law related to non-US subsidiaries, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.
+Added: The tax law changes in the CARES Act had no impact on our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
+Added: COVID-19 Update
+Added: We continue to monitor the short- and long-term impacts of COVID-19, a global pandemic that has caused a significant slowdown in the global economy beginning in March 2020.
+Added: While we had some slowdown impact in March, the impacts of COVID-19 were not seen as significant at that time.
+Added: During the second and third quarters of 2020, we continued to provide services to our customers.
+Added: To date, the services we provide have been deemed to be essential in most instances.
+Added: However, as the COVID-19 situation has continued to evolve, we have seen various disruptions in our work due to the domino effects of the various local, state and national jurisdictional orders, including but not limited to, the impact on our efficiency to perform our work while adhering to physical distancing protocols demanded by COVID-19, customers deferring inspection and service projects, and temporary shutdowns of active projects as they work through COVID-19 related matters.
+Added: As a result, we are experiencing delays in certain projects and disruptions to the flow of our work to meet COVID-19 working protocols.
+Added: Although we are actively quoting new work for customers, should the macro economy continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or worsen due to surges in cases, it is possible additional projects could be delayed indefinitely or cancelled, or that we are not successful in being allowed access to our customers facilities to perform inspection and service projects.
+Added: New or extended shelter-in-place orders or closures, or outbreaks in jurisdictions in which we operate or at our project or work sites, could have a material negative impact on our net revenues and earnings.
+Added: If a large number of our employees who are located in a particular jurisdiction or are working on a project or work site are exposed to or infected with COVID-19 and we are unable to hire qualified personnel due to labor shortages and other impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, we may be required to delay projects or the provision of our services for a period of time which could negatively impact our revenue, cause harm to our reputation and have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
+Added: As we have continued to monitor our activity, revenue period over period has been negatively impacted by the level of shelter-in-place orders and outbreaks of COVID-19, which has caused certain customers to temporarily halt work to put in COVID-19 working protocols and other customers have delayed or cancelled projects.
+Added: During the three months ended September 30, 2020, all of our segments saw volume declines relative to the same period of 2019.
+Added: Generally, during the third quarter, we saw indications of stabilizing and some volume improvements off previous lows as our teams and customers are adapting to working in the COVID-19 environment and with the easing of some shelter-in-place orders.
+Added: There can be no assurance that this trend, which would allow us to recover prior year volume levels, will continue in a positive manner.
+Added: To date, we have been able to source the supply and materials needed for our business with minimal disruptions.
+Added: However, the continued impact of COVID-19 on our vendors is evolving and could make it difficult to obtain needed materials.
+Added: We also implemented a preemptive cost reduction plan, which saved both expense and cash in 2020.
+Added: As COVID-19 restrictions were easing and volumes were increasing from earlier lows, some of these cost reductions have ceased and costs will continue to be reinstated as operations allow.
+Added: There is no guarantee that we will appropriately match the increased costs to increased demand for our services.
+Added: The United States Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has warned that cybercriminals will take advantage of the uncertainty created by COVID-19 and federal and state mandated quarantines to launch cybersecurity attacks.
+Added: The risks could include more frequent malicious cybersecurity and fraudulent activities, as well as schemes which attempt to take advantage of employees’ use of various technologies to enable remote work activities.
+Added: We believe the COVID-19 outbreak has incrementally increased our cyber risk profile, but we are unable to predict the extent or impacts of those risks at this time.
+Added: A significant disruption of our information technology systems, unauthorized access to or loss of confidential information, or legal claims resulting from our violation of privacy laws could each have a material adverse effect on our business.
+Added: While we cannot estimate the duration or future negative financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we are currently experiencing some negative impact, which we expect to continue in the future.
+Added: In prior economic downturns, the impact on our business has generally lagged against the impact of other industries.
+Added: We have no way of knowing if the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 will impact us similarly to past economic downturns.
+Added: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
+Added: A summary of recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 3 – “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our Interim Statements included in this quarterly report.
+Added: Description of Key Line Items
+Added: Revenue is generated from the sale of various types of contracted services, fabrication and distribution.
+Added: We derive revenue primarily from services under contractual arrangements with durations ranging from days to three years, with the majority having durations of less than six months, and which may provide the customer with pricing options that include a combination of fixed, unit, or time and materials pricing.
+Added: Revenue for fixed price agreements is generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of accounting which measures progress based on the cost incurred to total expected cost in satisfying our performance obligation.
+Added: Revenue from time and material contracts is recognized as the services are provided.
+Added: Revenue earned is based on total contract costs incurred plus an agreed-upon markup.
+Added: Revenue for these cost-plus contracts is recognized over time on an input basis as labor hours are incurred, materials are utilized, and services are performed.
+Added: Revenue from wholesale or retail unit sales is recognized at a point-in-time upon shipment.
+Added: Cost of Revenues
+Added: Cost of revenues consists of direct labor, materials, subcontract costs and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs.
+Added: Labor costs are considered to be incurred as the work is performed.
+Added: Subcontractor labor is recognized as the work is performed.
+Added: Our gross profit is influenced by direct labor, materials and subcontract costs.
+Added: Our profit margins are also influenced by raw material costs, contract mix, weather and proper coordination with contract providers.
+Added: Labor intensive contracts usually drive higher margins than those contracts that include material, subcontract and equipment costs.
+Added: Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
+Added: Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel, facility leases, advertising and marketing expenses, administrative expenses associated with accounting, finance, legal, information systems, leadership development, human resources and risk management and overhead associated with these functions.
+Added: Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and associated costs for sales and marketing personnel, costs of advertising, trade shows and corporate marketing.
+Added: General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and associated costs for executive management, finance, legal, information systems, leadership development and other administrative personnel, facility leases, outside professional fees and other corporate expenses.
+Added: Amortization of Intangible Assets
+Added: Amortization expense reflects the charges incurred to amortize our finite-lived identifiable intangible assets, such as customer relationships, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
+Added: There is a portion of amortization expense related to the backlog of intangible assets reflected in “cost of revenues” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
+Added: Impairment of Goodwill, Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets
+Added: Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently as events and circumstances change.
+Added: Expenses for impairment charges related to the write-down of goodwill balances and identifiable intangible assets balances are recorded to the extent their carrying values exceed their estimated fair values.
+Added: Expenses for impairment charges related to the write-down of other long-lived assets (which includes amortizable intangibles) are recorded when triggering events indicate their carrying values may exceed their estimated fair values.
+Added: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
+Added: For information regarding our Critical Accounting Policies, see the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of the “APG Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form S-4.
+Added: Additionally, see the “Use of estimates and risks and uncertainty of COVID-19” section of Note 2 – “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” to the Interim Statements for a discussion about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on asset impairment.
+Added: Results of Operations
+Added: The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (the “Successor Period”) and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (the “Predecessor Period”).
+Added: We did not own APi Group for the Predecessor Period.
+Added: Consequently, these results may not be indicative of the results that we would expect to recognize for future periods.
+Added: Three months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor) compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 (Predecessor)

+Added: Income tax provision
+Added: NM = Not meaningful
+Added: Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $958 million compared to $1,118 million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $160 million or (14.3)%.
+Added: The decrease in net revenues was primarily due to the sale of two entities held-for-sale, which had revenues of $5 million compared to $72 million in the three months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
+Added: The decrease was further driven by negative volume impacts of COVID-19 during the third quarter of 2020 resulting from access restrictions to buildings and project sites, and the delay or cancellation of projects by our customers due to the uncertainty and impact of COVID-19 on their business.
+Added: Additionally, there was a decrease in volume of projects across our business as we continue to focus on project selection during the current year.
+Added: The following table presents our gross profit (net revenues less cost of revenues), and gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor) and 2019 (Predecessor), respectively:
+Added: Three Months Ended
+Added: September 30,
+Added: ($ in millions)
+Added: (Predecessor)
+Added: Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $222 million, compared to $233 million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $11 million, or (4.7)%.
+Added: The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to lower net revenues and $6 million of amortization recognized in cost of revenues related to purchase accounting for the APi Acquisition, which had an impact of 0.5% on gross profit margin.
+Added: Gross margin increased as a result of continued focus on project selection, targeted price improvements, increased efficiencies on our projects, better project management, jobsite conditions, and the mix of services provided.
+Added: We also divested two lower margin businesses during 2020 in our Industrial Services segment which contributed to the increase.
+Added: Operating expenses
+Added: The following table presents operating expenses and operating margin (operating income as a percentage of net revenues) for APG for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor) and 2019 (Predecessor), respectively:

+Added: Operating margin
+Added: Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $160 million, compared to $220 million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $60 million.
+Added: Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 16.7% for 2020 compared to 19.7% for 2019.
+Added: The decrease in operating expenses is attributable to various factors including a $37 million favorable change in total selling, general, and administrative expenses and a $23 million favorable change as a result of a reversal of impairment expense in 2020.
+Added: The favorable change in total selling, general, and administrative expenses is partially offset by an increase in amortization expense of $17 million.
+Added: Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization) decreased $54 million.
+Added: $22 million due to the divestiture of two of our subsidiaries in the Industrial Services segment and $37 million due to equity-based compensation costs incurred in prior year under the previous ownership structure.
+Added: In addition, the decreases in selling, general, and administrative expenses (excluding amortization) related to lower expenses on contingent consideration and compensation liabilities, elimination of non-recurring prior ownership costs, and reductions from our preemptive cost reduction plan enacted in response to COVID-19, which are largely temporary and designed to flex as our businesses are impacted by COVID-19.
+Added: These drivers are partially offset by a change in the composition of selling, general, and administrative expenses due to our transition to a public company.
+Added: Increases in costs have been recognized related to business process transformation, compensation, public company registration, listing and compliance, professional management fees, and insurance.
+Added: Operating income and EBITDA

+Added: Operating margin increased to approximately 6.5% in 2020 from 1.2% in 2019.
+Added: The increase was primarily attributable to changes in operating expenses discussed above.
+Added: EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues increased to 12.5% in 2020 from 4.3% in 2019.
+Added: The increase was primarily driven by mix of work, increased efficiencies in the execution of our services, income from our joint venture investments, and improved project selection throughout our segments, which was most pronounced in our Industrial Services segment.
+Added: Interest expense, net
+Added: Interest expense was $13 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $7 million for the same period of the prior year.
+Added: The $6 million increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average outstanding borrowings and higher average borrowing costs reflecting the APi Acquisition in which APi Group’s previous debt totaling $659 million as of September 30, 2019, was settled and replaced by our Credit Facilities that include the issuance of a $1.2 billion Term Loan.
+Added: Income tax provision
+Added: The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 50.1%, after discrete and non-recurring tax items.
+Added: The income tax expense of $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 related to the changes in tax law related to non-US subsidiaries and the finalization of purchase accounting for goodwill and intangible assets.
+Added: The tax law changes in the CARES Act had an immaterial impact on the Company’s income tax provision during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

+Added: The following discussion breaks down the net revenues, operating income and EBITDA by operating segment for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.
+Added: Safety Services
+Added: Safety Services net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $68 million, or (14.4)% compared to the same period in the prior year.
+Added: This was largely due to the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, our customers, and shelter-in-place orders in addition to the timing of demand for services.
+Added: Safety Services operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately (5.9)% and 11.9%, respectively.
+Added: The decrease was primarily driven by a remeasurement adjustment to the previously recorded preliminary impairment which resulted in an additional impairment of $49 million, and intangible asset amortization expense, which was $34 million higher for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the APi Acquisition.
+Added: Safety Services EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately 4.2% and 12.3%, respectively.
+Added: The decrease is primarily driven by the revision to the impairment charge noted above.
+Added: Specialty Services
+Added: Specialty Services net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $7 million, or (1.7)% compared to the same period in the prior year.
+Added: The decrease in s egment revenue was primarily driven by the negative impacts of COVID-19 , timing of demand from our customers and timing of projects .
+Added: Specialty Services operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately 26.3% and 7.9%, respectively.
+Added: The increase was primarily driven by a remeasurement adjustment to the previously recorded preliminary impairment which resulted in a reversal of $68 million, as well as contract mix, efficiencies in the execution of our services, and improved project selection.
+Added: Our Specialty Services EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately 31.5% and 13.0%, respectively.
+Added: The increase was driven by revisions to the previously mentioned impairment charge, our efficiencies in the execution of our services, improved project selection, targeted pricing improvements and mix of work.
+Added: Industrial Services
+Added: Industrial Services net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $87 million, or (35.5)% compared to the same period in the prior year.
+Added: This decrease was primarily due to the sale of two Industrial Service entities accounting for $67 million less revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019, and decreased volume of projects as a result of our strategic initiative to focus on project selection, which improved margins as opposed to growing net revenues.
+Added: The revenue decline was also impacted by suppression of demand for our services due to COVID-19 and changes in oil prices.
+Added: Industrial Services operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately 10.8% and 2.4%, respectively.
+Added: The increase was primarily driven by productivity increases due to better project selection, project management, and jobsite conditions combined with a reversal of impairment of $9 million and a reversal of amortization expense of $10 million as a result of the finalization of purchase accounting for the APi Acquisition.
+Added: Industrial Services EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues, was 8.2% and 6.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
+Added: The increase was primarily driven by project selection, productivity and favorable jobsite conditions, combined with the impairment revision noted above.

+Added: The decrease in net revenues was primarily attributable to the sale of two Industrial Services subsidiaries that accounted for $147 million in less revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2019, the negative impacts of COVID-19 resulting from access restrictions to buildings and project sites, and the delay or cancellation of projects by our customers due to the uncertainty and impact of COVID-19 on their business.
+Added: This was combined with improved project selection, which led to a decrease in the volume of projects.
+Added: The following table presents gross profit (net revenues less cost of revenues), and gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net revenues) for APG for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor) and 2019 (Predecessor), respectively:

+Added: Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $558 million, compared to $604 million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $46 million, or (7.6)%.
+Added: The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to declines in net revenues and the impact of amortization.
+Added: We recognized $51 million in cost of revenues from the amortization of backlog assets related to purchase accounting for the APi Acquisition, which had an impact of 1.9% on gross margin.
+Added: This was partially offset by continued focus on project selection, targeted price improvements, increased efficiencies on our projects, better project management, jobsite conditions, and the mix of services provided, with the largest improvements in our Industrial Services Segment due to the sale of two lower-margin subsidiaries previously noted.
+Added: As a result of these factors, gross profit margin was 20.6% in 2020 versus 19.4% in 2019.
+Added: Operating expenses

+Added: Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 26.0% for 2020 compared to 16.2% for 2019.
+Added: The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to increases in impairment charges of $197 million and increases in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $16 million.
+Added: The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses is primarily driven by increased intangible asset amortization of $57 million related to purchase accounting for the APi Acquisition.
+Added: Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization) decreased $41 million primarily as a result of the change in composition of selling, general and administrative expenses due to our transition to a public company and our investment in growth and strategic initiatives.
+Added: Decreases in costs have primarily been driven by decreases due to equity-based compensation costs incurred in the prior year under the previous ownership structure of $37 million, in addition to expenses related to contingent consideration and compensation liabilities, elimination of non-recurring prior ownership costs, and reductions from our preemptive cost reduction plan enacted in response to COVID-19, which are largely temporary and designed to flex as our businesses are impacted by COVID-19.
+Added: These have been partially offset by increases in costs related to business process transformation, compensation, public company registration, listing and compliance, professional and management fees, and insurance.

+Added: Interest expense, net
+Added: Interest expense was $41 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $20 million for the same period of the prior year.
+Added: The $21 million increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average outstanding borrowings and higher average borrowing costs reflecting the APi Acquisition in which APi Group’s previous debt totaling $659 million as of September 30, 2019, was settled and replaced by our Credit Facilities that include the issuance of a $1.2 billion Term Loan.
+Added: Investment income and other, net
+Added: Investment income and other, net was $20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $11 million for the same period of the prior year.
+Added: The $9 million increase was primarily due to an increase of $6 million in earnings from our joint venture investments and $4 million of income from government relief for COVID-19 received at non-US subsidiaries.
+Added: Income tax provision
+Added: The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 21.2%, after discrete and non-recurring tax items.

+Added: Safety Services
+Added: Safety Services net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $143 million, or (10.7)% compared to the same period in the prior year.
+Added: This is due to the negative impacts of COVID-19 in addition to the timing of larger contract revenues during the prior year period.
+Added: Safety Services operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately (1.0)% and 12.0%, respectively.
+Added: The decrease was primarily driven by impairment charges of $83 million and intangible asset amortization expense, which was $79 million higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the APi Acquisition.
+Added: Safety Services EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately 7.0% and 12.7%, respectively.

+Added: Industrial Services net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $202 million, or (30.1)% compared to the same period in the prior year.
+Added: This decrease was primarily due to the sale of two subsidiaries that accounted for $147 million less revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, as well as decreased volume of projects as a result of our strategic focus on improving margins as opposed to growing net revenues.
+Added: The decline in net revenues was also driven by suppression of demand for our services due to COVID-19 and changes in oil prices.
+Added: Industrial Services operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately (7.9)% and (—)%, respectively.
+Added: The decline was primarily driven by impairment charges of $58 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

+Added: Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
+Added: We supplement our reporting of consolidated financial information determined in accordance with U.S.
+Added: GAAP with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which is a non-U.S.
+Added: GAAP financial measure.
+Added: Management believes this measure provides meaningful information and helps investors understand our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance.
+Added: We use EBITDA to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with our peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results.
+Added: This non-U.S .
+Added: GAAP financial measure, however, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, a substitute for, or superior to, the related financial information that we report in accordance with U.S.
+Added: The principal limitati on of this non-U.S.
+Added: GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by U.S.
+Added: GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differe nces in calculation methods.
+Added: In addition, this measure is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by management about which items are excluded or included in determining this non-U.S.
+Added: GAAP financial measure.
+Added: Investors are en couraged to review the reconciliation of this non-U.S.
+Added: GAAP financial measure to its most comparable U.S.
+Added: GAAP financial measure included in this quarterly report and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

+Added: Liquidity and Capital Resources
+Added: Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from the operating activities of our consolidated subsidiaries, available cash and cash equivalents, and our access to our Revolving Credit Facility.
+Added: We believe that these sources will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.
+Added: As of September 30, 2020, we had $699 million of total liquidity, comprising $467 million in cash and cash equivalents and $232 million ($300 million less outstanding letters of credit of approximately $68 million) of available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
+Added: Given the uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 global pandemic and in preparation for its potential unforeseen impacts, in late March 2020, we drew down $200 million under our Revolving Credit Facility.
+Added: Subsequently, in April 2020, we repaid the full amount borrowed on the Revolving Credit Facility.
+Added: As of September 30, 2020, we had $1.2 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the term loan on October 1, 2019 (the “2019 Term Loan”), and no amounts outstanding under the $300 million Revolving Credit Facility.
+Added: As of September 30, 2020, $232 million was available after giving effect to $68 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduce availability.
+Added: On October 22, 2020, we entered into an incremental $250 million term loan under the Credit Agreement (the "2020 Term Loan"), which we used to replenish balance sheet cash utilized for the acquisitions and general business purposes.
+Added: We also expect to continue to raise cash through equity and debt offerings when capital market conditions are favorable and other sources of liquidity are not sufficient.
+Added: Our principal liquidity requirements have been, and we expect will be, any contingent consideration due to selling shareholders, including tax payments in connection therewith, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and debt service, as well as to identify, execute and integrate strategic acquisitions and business transformation.
+Added: Our capital expenditures were approximately $24 million and $53 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
+Added: Including our current assessment of the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of ope rations, we anticipate that funds generated from operations, available borrowings under our Credit Facility and our cash balances will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, debt service obligations, insur ance and performance collateral requirements, letter of credit needs, earn-out obligations, required income tax payments, acquisition and other investment funding requirements, share repurchase activity and other liquidity needs for at least the next twelv e months.
+Added: Credit Facilities
+Added: We have a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for (1) a term loan facility, pursuant to which we incurred a $1.2 billion 2019 Term Loan, which we used to fund a part of the cash portion of the purchase price in the APi Acquisition;
+Added: a $250 million 2020 Term Loan, which we used to fund a part of the cash portion of the purchase price in the SKG Acquisition;
+Added: and (2) a $300 million Revolving Credit Facility of which up to $150 million can be used for the issuance of letters of credit.
+Added: Although we believe we have sufficient resources to fund our future cash requirements, there are many factors with the potential to influence our cash flow position including weather, seasonality, commodity prices, market conditions, and prolonged impacts of COVID-19 and shelter-in-place governmental action, over which we have no control.
+Added: Effective October 1, 2019, we entered into a $720 million of notional value five-year interest rate swap, exchanging one-month LIBOR for a fixed rate of 1.62% per annum.
+Added: Accordingly, our fixed interest rate per annum on the swapped $720 million of the 2019 Term Loan debt is 4.12%.
+Added: As of September 30, 2020, the remaining $470 million of the 2019 Term Loan debt was bearing interest of 2.65% per annum based on one-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points.
+Added: One of APi Group’s Canadian subsidiaries had a $20 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a variable interest rate based upon the prime rate.
+Added: APi Group had no amounts outstanding under the line of credit at September 30, 2020.
+Added: The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on additional indebtedness, dividends and other distributions, entry into new lines of business, use of loan proceeds, capital expenditures, restricted payments, restrictions on liens on assets, transactions with affiliates and dispositions.
+Added: To the extent total outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding undrawn letters of credit up to $40 million) is greater than 30% of the total commitment amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, APG’s first lien net leverage ratio shall not exceed (i) 4.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending in 2020, (ii) 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending in 2021 and (iii) 3.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter.
+Added: Our first lien net leverage ratio as of September 30, 2020 was 1.81:1.00.
+Added: In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary provisions relating to events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, failure to make payment on, or defaults with respect to, certain other indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $75 million, bankruptcy and insolvency events, judgments in excess of $75 million or that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, change of control and certain events relating to ERISA plans.
+Added: Upon the occurrence of an event of default, and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, payment of any outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the lenders could foreclose on their security interests in the assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors.
+Added: We were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020.

+Added: and cash equivalents
+Added: Net increase in cash and cash equivalents

+Added: Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
+Added: Net cash provided by operating activities was $329 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $145 million for the same period in 2019.
+Added: Cash flow from operations is primarily driven by changes in the mix and timing of demand for our services and working capital needs associated with the various services we provide.
+Added: Working capital is primarily affected by changes in total accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and contract assets and contract liabilities, all of which tend to be related and are affected by changes in the timing and volume of work performed.
+Added: The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily driven by changes in working capital levels as the declines in net revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 have resulted in reductions in our accounts receivable and fluctuations in our working capital balances, which include deferrals of payroll withholding taxes, that have driven positive cash flow generation in the period.
+Added: Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
+Added: Net cash used in investing activities was $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $51 million for the same period in 2019.
+Added: The decrease in cash used in investing activities was attributable to reduction in purchases of property and equipment during the current year as management enacted adjustments to capital expenditures in response to COVID-19.
+Added: Management anticipates increased capital expenditures in future periods that are comparable to prior year spend levels.
+Added: Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
+Added: Net cash used in financing activities was $101 million for nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $10 million for the same period in 2019.
+Added: The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to payments of acquisition related consideration, including deferred payments to the former owners of APi Group, Inc., and to the former owners of businesses acquired by APi Group, Inc.
+Added: prior to the APi Acquisition.
+Added: Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
+Added: We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
+Added: We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
+Added: We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreement involving assets.
