Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
may constitute forward-looking statements as defined
in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
Securities Act), Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the PSLRA)
or in releases made by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), all as may be amended from time to time. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of Covanta Holding
Corporation and its subsidiaries (Covanta) or
industry results, to differ materially from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical
fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
can be identified by, among other things, the use of
forward-looking language, such as the words plan,
believe, expect, anticipate,
intend, estimate, project,
may, will, would,
could, should, seeks, or
scheduled to, or other similar words, or the
negative of these terms or other variations of these terms or
comparable language, or by discussion of strategy or intentions.
These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the PSLRA with the
intention of obtaining the benefits of the safe
harbor provisions of such laws. Covanta cautions investors
that any forward-looking statements made by Covanta are not
guarantees or indicative of future performance. Important
assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those forward-looking
statements with respect to Covanta, include, but are not limited
to, the risks and uncertainties affecting their businesses
described in Item 1A of Covantas Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005 and in other
securities filings by Covanta.
Although Covanta believes that its plans, intentions and
expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, actual results could differ
materially from a projection or assumption in any of its
forward-looking statements. Covantas future financial
condition and results of operations, as well as any
forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent
risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements
contained in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
are made only as of the date hereof and Covanta does not have or
undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, subsequent
events or otherwise, unless otherwise required by law.

Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of Covanta have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to
Form 10-Q.
As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), the financial statements
contain certain condensed financial information and exclude
certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). In presenting the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related
disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgments
and available information. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments,
including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present
the accompanying financial statements. Operating results for the
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in Covantas Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Covanta and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Companies
in which Covanta owns between 20-50% are typically accounted for
using the equity method. Those companies in which Covanta owns
less than 20% are accounted for using the cost method. Certain
prior period amounts, including various revenues and expenses,
have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial
statements to conform to the current period presentation. All
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

New
Accounting Pronouncements
|
On March 31, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued an exposure draft that would require
recognition of the overfunded or underfunded positions of
defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans
on the balance sheet. For an underfunded plan, the incremental
liability to be recorded would be equal to the difference
between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of
plan assets. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 87, Employers Accounting
for Pensions (SFAS 87) and
SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
(SFAS 106) allow for deferred recognition of
this liability through amortization of this difference over
time. Under this exposure draft, actuarial gains and losses and
prior service costs and credits that arise during the period
but, pursuant to SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 are not yet
recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost, would be
recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income, net of tax. The exposure draft also requires an
adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated earnings, net
of tax, for any transition obligation remaining from the initial
application of SFAS 87 and SFAS 106. Such amounts
would then not subsequently be amortized as a component of net
periodic benefit cost. When a final pronouncement is released,
Covanta will evaluate the impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48). This interpretation increases the
relevancy and comparability of financial reporting by clarifying
the way companies account for uncertainty in income taxes.
FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and
measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for
subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring such tax
positions for financial statement purposes. The interpretation
also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the
uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006. Covanta is
evaluating the potential impact of this interpretation on its
consolidated financial statements.
ARC
Holdings
On June 24, 2005, Covanta, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary Covanta Energy, purchased 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of ARC Holdings capital stock. Under
the terms of the stock purchase agreement, Covanta paid
approximately $747 million in cash and transaction costs
for the stock of ARC Holdings and assumed the consolidated net
debt of ARC Holdings of $1.3 billion at June 24, 2005
($1.5 billion of consolidated indebtedness and
$0.2 billion of cash and restricted cash). The acquisition
of ARC Holdings was financed by a combination of debt and equity
described below. Immediately after the transaction was
completed, ARC Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Covanta Energy.
As part of the ARC Holdings acquisition, Covanta Energy entered
into credit arrangements which totaled approximately
$1.1 billion and are guaranteed by Covanta and certain
domestic subsidiaries of Covanta Energy. For details related to
these financing arrangements, see Note 12. Changes in
Capitalization. The proceeds from these credit arrangements were
used to fund the acquisition of ARC Holdings, to refinance
approximately $479 million of Covanta Energys
existing recourse debt and letters of credit, and to pay related
fees and expenses. The revolving credit and letter of credit
facilities are further available for ongoing permitted
expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
The equity component of the financing consisted of a
$400 million offering of warrants to purchase
Covantas common stock (the ARC Holdings Rights
Offering). Such warrants entitled Covantas existing
stockholders to purchase Covantas stock on a pro rata
basis, with each holder entitled to purchase 0.9 shares of
Covantas common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 for
each share of Covantas common stock held as of
May 27, 2005, the record date. Covanta received net
proceeds of approximately $395.8 million ($400 million
gross proceeds, net of $4.2 million of expenses) and issued
66,673,004 shares of common stock.

Three of Covantas largest stockholders, SZ Investments
L.L.C. (together with its affiliate EGI-Fund (05-07) Investors,
L.L.C. to which it transferred a portion of its shares, SZ
Investments), Third Avenue Business Trust, on behalf of
Third Avenue Value Fund Series (Third Avenue),
and D. E. Shaw Laminar Portfolios, L.L.C. (Laminar),
representing an aggregate ownership, at the time of the ARC
Holdings Rights Offering, of approximately 40.4% of
Covantas outstanding common stock, committed to
participate in the ARC Holdings Rights Offering and acquired at
least their pro rata portion of the shares. As consideration for
their commitments, Covanta paid each of these stockholders an
amount equal to 1.75% of their respective equity commitments,
which in the aggregate was $2.8 million and was accounted
for as a reduction of the ARC Holdings Rights Offering proceeds.
See Note 17. Related-Party Transactions.

The purchase price included acquisition related restructuring
charges of $9.1 million which were recorded as a liability
and assumed in the ARC Holdings acquisition, and consisted
primarily of severance and related benefits, and the costs of
vacating duplicate facilities. As of June 30, 2006, the
remaining restructuring liability was $4.8 million.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition
Date in conformity with the SFAS No. 141

The acquired intangible assets of $287.4 million relate to
favorable energy and waste contracts, landfill rights, other
nonamortizing intangibles and a favorable leasehold interest
with an approximate 10 year average useful life. As of
June 30, 2006, goodwill was $217.5 million. As part of
Covantas purchase price allocation during the quarter

STATEMENTS (Continued)
ended June 30, 2006 for the ARC Holdings acquisition,
goodwill was adjusted to reflect a $28.6 million reversal
of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance as discussed in
Note 11. Income Taxes of the Notes. Goodwill also reflects
an increase to the carrying value of property, plant and
equipment of $9.5 million; an increase to the deferred tax
liability of $6.9 million; a reduction to the liability of
$27.4 million owed to one of the prior owners of ARC
Holdings (See Note 10. Other Noncurrent Liabilities); an
increase in an unfavorable waste contract of $12.1 million;
and various other asset and liability adjustments of
$8.1 million.

Restructuring
and Acquisition-Related Charges
In connection with the acquisition of ARC Holdings, Covanta
Energy incurred integration costs of $1.8 million and
$2.0 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2005, primarily related to professional fees and
employee incentive costs. These charges were included as part of
the operating costs of the Waste and Energy Services segment.
Covanta Energy also incurred restructuring costs in 2005 of
$2.7 million. The restructuring costs resulted from
$2.1 million of severance payments to CPIH executives in
connection with overhead reductions made possible by the
elimination of CPIHs separate capital structure during the
second quarter of 2005. An additional $0.6 million was paid
to remaining CPIH executives as incentive payments from existing
contractual obligations relating to CPIH debt repayment in
connection with the ARC Holdings acquisition.
|
|
Note 4.
|
Stock-Based
Compensation
|
Effective January 1, 2006, Covanta adopted the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payments (SFAS 123R)
using the modified prospective transition method and therefore
has not restated results for prior periods. Under this
transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included
compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards granted
prior to, but not yet vested as of, December 31, 2005,
based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with
the original provision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS 123). Stock-based compensation expense
for all stock-based compensation awards granted after
December 31, 2005 is based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
Covanta recognized compensation expense based upon the number of
stock options and restricted stock awards expected to vest,
which was determined based on historical turnover experience of
Covanta Energy
10

HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO

STATEMENTS (Continued)
employees populations from the Covanta Energy pension
plan. Covanta will review its forfeiture rate annually and
revise its compensation expense, if necessary. Covanta
recognizes these compensation costs using the graded vesting
attribution method over the requisite service period of the
award, which is generally the vesting term of three years.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, Covanta recognized
stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
(APB 25). In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107)
regarding the SECs interpretation of SFAS 123R and
the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
Covanta has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its
adoption of SFAS 123R.
The impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements,
as a result of Covantas adoption of SFAS 123R
compared to continued recognition of stock-based compensation
under APB 25, was not material to income before income
taxes and net income for the six months ended June 30,
2006. The impact on both basic and diluted earnings per share
was less than $0.01 per share for each of the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006. The reductions that resulted
from the adoption of SFAS 123R reflected the stock-based
compensation expense associated with the unvested stock option
awards. Stock-based compensation expense previously recognized
in accordance with APB 25 for restricted stock awards,
remained essentially unchanged under the provisions of
SFAS 123R.
Covanta received $0.3 million and $0.6 million from
the exercise of non-qualified stock options in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The tax benefits
related to the exercise of the non-qualified stock options and
the vesting of the restricted stock award were not recognized in
the first six months of 2006 due to Covantas net operating
loss carryforwards (NOLs). When the NOLs have been
fully utilized by Covanta, Covanta will recognize a tax benefit
and an increase in additional paid-in capital for the excess tax
deductions received on the non-qualified stock options and
vested restricted stock. Future realization of the tax benefit
will be presented in cash flows from financing activities in the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the period
the tax benefit is recognized.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share as if Covanta had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123, as amended by
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation Transition and Disclosure. (in
thousands of dollars, except per share amounts).

On March 17, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors, under the equity award plan for employees, awarded
certain employees 480,055 shares of restricted stock. The
restricted stock awards will be expensed over the requisite
service period, and assumes a five percent forfeiture rate. The
terms of the restricted stock awards include vesting provisions
based on two financial performance factors (applicable to 66% of
the award) and continued service over the passage of time
(applicable to 34% of the award). If all performance and service
criteria are satisfied, the awards vest over 3 years, with
160,002 shares (33.33%) vesting on March 17, 2007,

160,002 shares (33.33%) vesting on March 17, 2008 and
the remaining 160,051 shares (33.34%) vesting on
March 17, 2009.
On May 31, 2006, in accordance with its existing program
for annual director compensation, Covanta granted
36,000 shares of restricted stock under the Covanta Holding
Corporation Equity Award Plan for Directors (the Directors
Plan). The awards have a requisite service based vesting
period as follows: 12,000 shares (33.33%) vested on
May 31, 2006; 12,000 shares (33.33%) vesting on
May 31, 2007; and 12,000 shares (33.34%) vesting on
May 31, 2008. Covanta determined that the service vesting
condition of the restricted stock awards granted to the
directors on May 31, 2006 to be non-substantive and, in
accordance with SFAS 123R, recorded the entire fair value
of the award as compensation expense in the three months ended
June 30, 2006. See Restricted Stock Awards below for
further information.
Stock-Based
Awards
Covanta adopted the Covanta Holding Corporation Equity Award
Plan for Employees and Officers (the Employees Plan)
and the Directors Plan (collectively, the Award
Plans), effective with stockholder approval on
October 5, 2004. On July 25, 2005, the Covanta Board
of Directors approved and on September 19, 2005,
Covantas stockholders approved the amendment to the
Employees Plan to authorize the issuance of an additional
2,000,000 shares. The 1995 Stock and Incentive Plan (the
1995 Plan) was terminated with respect to any future
awards under such plan on October 5, 2004 upon stockholder
approval of the Award Plans. The 1995 Plan will remain in effect
until all awards have been satisfied or expired.
Restricted
Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards that have been issued to employees and
directors typically vest over a three year period. Restricted
stock awards are stock-based awards for which the employee or
director does not have a vested right to the stock
(nonvested) until the requisite service period has
been rendered and the required financial performance factor has
been reached for each pre-determined vesting date. A percentage
of each employee restricted stock awards granted have financial
performance factors. Stock-based compensation expense for each
financial performance factor is recognized beginning in the
period when management has determined it is probable the
financial performance factor will be achieved for the respective
vesting period.
Restricted stock awards to employees are generally subject to
forfeiture if the employee is not employed on the vesting date.
Restricted stock awards issued to directors prior to 2006 were
subject to the same forfeiture restrictions as are applicable to
employees. Restricted stock awards issued to directors in 2006
are not subject to forfeiture in the event a director ceases to
be a member of the Board of Directors, except in limited
circumstances. Prior to vesting, restricted stock awards have
all of the rights of common stock (other than the right to sell
or otherwise transfer). The fair value of restricted stock
awards is based on the market price of Covantas common
stock on the grant date of the award.
Changes in nonvested restricted stock awards during the six
months ended June 30, 2006 were as follows:

As of June 30, 2006, there was $10.2 million
unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to
nonvested restricted stock awards. This expense is expected to
be recognized over a period of up to three years. The total fair
value of restricted stock awards expensed was $2.3 million
and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006, respectively.
Stock
Options
Covanta has also awarded stock options to certain employees and
directors. Stock options awarded to directors vested
immediately. Stock options awarded to employees typically vested
annually over three years. Covanta had one nonvested stock
option award outstanding as of December 31, 2005 which was
granted in October 2004. The fair value of the options was based
on the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: fair value option price $5.68;
risk-free interest rate 4.25%; dividend
yield 0%; expected volatility (based on historical
volatility) 76%; and expected life
8 years.
Option activity for all outstanding options, vested and

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the
total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the
closing stock price on the last trading day of the second
quarter of 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number
of
in-the-money
options) that would have been received by the option holders had
all option holders exercised their options on June 30,
2006. The intrinsic value changes based on the fair market value
of Covantas common stock. Total intrinsic value of options
exercised for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was
$1.1 million. The total fair value of options expensed was
$0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
As of June 30, 2006, there was $1.6 million of total
unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options which
is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
1.7 years.

Earnings
Per Share
|
Per share data is based on the weighted average outstanding
number of shares of Covantas common stock, par value
$0.10 per share, during the relevant period. Basic earnings
per share are calculated using only the weighted average number
of outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per
share computations, as calculated under the treasury stock
method, include the weighted average number of shares of
additional outstanding common stock issuable for stock options,
restricted stock, and rights whether or not currently
exercisable. Diluted earnings per share for all the periods
presented do not include shares related to stock options and
rights if their effect was anti-dilutive (in thousands of
dollars, except per share amounts).

Pass
Through Costs
|
Pass through costs are costs for which Covanta Energy receives a
direct contractually committed reimbursement from the municipal
client which sponsors a
waste-to-energy
project. These costs generally include utility charges,
insurance premiums, ash residue transportation and disposal and
certain chemical costs. These costs are recorded net of
municipal client reimbursements in Covantas condensed
consolidated financial statements. Total pass through costs were
$13.7 million and $12.9 million for three months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and
$28.4 million and $30.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Unbilled service receivables include fees related to the
principal portion of debt service earned to service project debt
principal where such fees are expressly included as a component
of the service fee paid by the municipality pursuant to
applicable
waste-to-energy
service agreements. Regardless of the timing of amounts paid by
municipalities relating to project debt principal, Covanta
Energy records service revenue with respect to this principal
component on a levelized basis over the term of the service
agreement. Long-term unbilled service receivables related to
waste-to-energy
operations are recorded at their discounted amounts.
Electricity and steam sales included lease income from the
international business of $33.6 million and
$25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively, and $61.3 million and
$50.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively.
Note 8. Equity
in Net Income from Unconsolidated Investments
Equity in net income from unconsolidated investments was
$14.7 million and $4.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and
$21.5 million and $10.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The equity in net income for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2006 includes approximately $7 million
of cumulative deferred income tax benefits related to unrealized
foreign exchange losses that are expected to be tax deductible
for Philippine tax purposes in future years. Quezon Power, Inc.
(Quezon) recorded this cumulative deferred income
tax benefit in the period ended June 30, 2006 on the basis
of rulings which were issued by the Philippine tax authorities
in June 2006 clarifying the tax deductibility of such losses
upon realization. The realization of this deferred tax benefit
is subject to fluctuations in the value of the Philippine peso
versus the US dollar.
Equity in net income from unconsolidated investments primarily
relates to Covanta Energys 26% investment in Quezon. The
unaudited results of operations from Quezon were as follows (in

Goodwill
In connection with the ARC Holdings acquisition, Covanta Energy
recorded $217.5 million of goodwill in its purchase price
allocation as of June 30, 2006. Goodwill represents the
total consideration paid in excess of the fair value of the net
tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed in the ARC Holdings acquisition in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS 142). Goodwill has an indefinite life and
is not amortized but will be reviewed under the provisions of
SFAS 142 for impairment. Covanta will perform an annual
fair value test of its recorded goodwill for its reporting units
using a discounted cash flow approach as of October 1,
2006. Goodwill is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

COVANTA
HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Covanta records its interim tax provision based upon its
estimated annual effective tax rate and accounts for the tax
effects of discrete events in the period in which they occur.
Covanta currently estimates its annual effective tax rate for
December 31, 2006 to be approximately 29.8%. Covanta
reviews the annual effective tax rate on a quarterly basis as
projections are revised.
The current quarter tax rate includes the impact of the
cumulative adjustment due to the adoption of the permanent
reinvestment exception under APB Opinion No. 23,
Accounting for Income Taxes Special
Areas (APB 23) as discussed below. The
actual effective tax rate was 44.7% for December 31, 2005.
The difference between the actual prior year rate and the
current year estimate is primarily due to Covantas
intention to reinvest foreign earnings in international
investments and the impact of the cumulative adjustment due to
the adoption of APB 23.
The effective income tax rate was 19.9% and 37.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Excluding the cumulative adjustment of $10 million due to
APB 23, the effective income tax rate was 38.2% for the six
months ended June 30, 2006.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2006, Covanta adopted the
permanent reinvestment exception under APB 23 whereby
Covanta will no longer provide deferred taxes on the
undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries.
Covanta intends to permanently reinvest its international
earnings outside of the United States in its existing
international operations and in any new international business
it may develop or acquire. As a result of the adoption of
APB 23, Covanta recognized a one-time benefit of
$10 million during the three months ended June 30,
2006 associated with the reversal of deferred taxes accrued on
unremitted earnings of international affiliates in prior periods.
Covanta files a federal consolidated income tax return with its
eligible subsidiaries in the United States. Covantas
federal consolidated tax return includes the results of ARC
Holdings after June 24, 2005. Effective July 31, 2005,
CPIH and its eligible United States and foreign subsidiaries
were included in Covantas federal consolidated income tax
return. Covantas subsidiary associated with its Lake
County, Florida
waste-to-energy
project (Covanta Lake) is not a member of any
consolidated return group.
Covantas federal consolidated income tax return also
includes the taxable results of certain grantor trusts which
were established by state insurance regulators in California and
Missouri as part of the 1990 reorganization of certain of
Covantas predecessor insurance entities (the Mission
Insurance Entities) and their emergence from federal
bankruptcy and various state insolvency court proceedings. These
trusts were created for the purpose of assuming various
liabilities associated with certain of the Mission Insurance
Entities. This allowed the state regulators to administer the
continuing run-off of the insolvent insurance business, while
Covanta (then named Mission Insurance Group, Inc.) and the
remaining Mission Insurance Entities were released, discharged
and dismissed from the proceedings free of any claims and
liabilities of any kind, including any obligation to provide
further funding to the trusts. The Insurance Commissioner of the
State of California (the California Commissioner)
and the Director of the Division of Insurance of the State of
Missouri (the Missouri Director), as the trustees,
have sole management authority over the trusts. Neither Covanta
nor any of its subsidiaries has any power to control or
otherwise influence the management of the trusts nor do they
have any rights with respect to the selection or replacement of
the trustees. At the present time, it is not likely that Covanta
or any of its subsidiaries will receive any distribution with
regard to their residual interests in the existing trusts. Since
Covanta does not have a controlling financial interest in these
trusts and is not the primary beneficiary, the trusts are not
consolidated with Covanta for financial statement purposes.
During or at the conclusion of the administration of these
grantor trusts, taxable income could result which could utilize
a portion of Covantas NOLs which in turn could accelerate
the date on which Covanta may be otherwise obligated to pay cash
taxes.
18
COVANTA
HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In January 2006, Covanta executed agreements with the California
Commissioner, who administers the majority of the grantor
trusts, regarding the final administration and conclusion of
such trusts. The agreements, which were approved by the
California state court overseeing the Mission insolvency
proceedings (the Mission Court), settle matters that
had been in dispute regarding the historic rights and
obligations relating to the conclusion of the grantor trusts. As
part of the settlement, on April 28, 2006, the Mission
Court determined the aggregate amount of certain claims against
the grantor trusts which are entitled to distributions of
Covantas common stock previously issued to the California
Commissioner. The Mission Court also approved procedures by
which Covanta will determine, in cooperation with the California
Commissioner, a complete list of such claimants entitled to
receive such shares, and thereafter the number of shares to be
distributed to such claimants by the California Commissioner. In
connection with these agreements and in order to facilitate the
orderly conclusion of the grantor trust estates, the
distribution of such stock and the settlement of the related
disputes, Covanta paid an aggregate amount equal to
approximately $9.14 million to the California Commissioner
for distribution to the grantor trusts on May 2, 2006.
While Covanta cannot predict with certainty what amounts, if
any, may be includable in Covantas taxable income as a
result of the final administration of the trusts, Covanta
believes that these arrangements with the California
Commissioner will result in no material reduction in available
NOLs.
Covanta is in preliminary discussions with the Missouri Director
regarding similar arrangements for distribution of Covanta
common stock held by the Missouri Director to claimants of the
Missouri grantor trusts. Because Covantas discussions with
the Missouri Director are currently at a preliminary stage,
Covanta is unable to determine at this time whether all
claimants contemplated by the 1989 and 1990 agreement as
eligible to receive such stock will receive a distribution from
the Missouri Director. As a result of this uncertainty, Covanta
has reduced the aggregate amount of its available NOLs by
$46 million and reduced the valuation allowance
accordingly. Covanta cannot provide any assurance that it will
enter into similar arrangements with the Missouri Director or
that the NOL reduction will ultimately be reversed. However, in
connection with the administration or conclusion of the grantor
trusts, Covanta does not expect either further reductions to its
available NOLs or additional material amounts of taxable income
to be recognized as a result of the administration or conclusion
of the grantor trusts.
SFAS 109 requires the establishment of a valuation
allowance when it is not more likely than not that
an entity will realize its deferred tax assets. Pursuant to
SFAS 109, Covanta makes periodic determinations of whether
it is more likely than not that all or a portion of
Covantas deferred tax assets will be realized. In making
these determinations, Covanta considers all of the relevant
factors, both positive and negative, which may impact its future
taxable income including the size and operating results of its
subsidiaries, the competitive environment in which these
subsidiaries operate and the impact of the grantor trusts. The
remainder of the valuation allowance associated with the NOLs
was released during the quarter ended June 30, 2006,
primarily due to Covantas determination that it is
more likely than not that all remaining deferred tax
assets associated with the NOLs will be realized.
If Covantas existing insurance business were to require
capital infusions in order to meet certain regulatory capital
requirements, and were Covanta to fail to provide such capital,
some or all of its subsidiaries comprising the insurance
business could enter insurance insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings. In such event, such subsidiaries may no longer be
included in Covantas consolidated tax return and
potentially, a significant portion of Covantas remaining
NOLs would no longer be available to it. Such an event may also
result in a significant inclusion of taxable income in
Covantas federal consolidated tax return.
Covanta had NOLs estimated to be approximately $489 million
for federal income tax purposes as of the end of 2005. The NOLs
will expire in various amounts from December 31, 2006
through December 31, 2023, if not used.
If Covanta were to undergo an ownership change, as
such term is used in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code, the use of its NOLs in any given year could be limited.
The impacts, if any, to Covanta of any such limitation would
depend upon factors such as the amount of Covantas taxable
income in a given tax year, the date on which an ownership
change were to occur, and Covantas market
capitalization at the time of an ownership change.

Generally, Covanta will be treated as having had an
ownership change if there is a more than 50%
increase in stock ownership during a
3-year
testing period by a 5% stockholder.
Covantas Certificate of Incorporation contains stock
transfer restrictions that were designed to help preserve
Covantas NOLs by avoiding an ownership change. Covanta
cannot be certain, however, that these restrictions will prevent
an ownership change. The transfer restrictions were implemented
in 1990, and Covanta expects that they will remain in-force as
long as the NOLs are material to Covanta or until the
limitations on Covantas use of the NOLs that would
otherwise result from such a change in control would not create
material adverse consequences to Covanta.
Covantas provision for income taxes in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations also includes certain
state and other taxes. Tax filings for these jurisdictions do
not consolidate the activity of the grantor trusts referred to
above and in certain states reflect preparation on a
separate-company basis. For further information, reference is
made to Note 22 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Covantas Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Financing
Arrangements
As part of the ARC Holdings acquisition on June 24, 2005,
Covanta Energy entered into credit arrangements which totaled
approximately $1.1 billion and are guaranteed by Covanta
and certain domestic subsidiaries of Covanta Energy. These
credit arrangements consisted of a first priority senior secured
credit facility and a second priority senior secured credit
facility. The first priority senior secured credit facility was
initially comprised of a $275 million first lien term loan,
a $100 million revolving credit facility, and a
$340 million letter of credit facility. The second priority
senior secured credit facility was initially a $400 million
second lien term loan facility.
On March 21, 2006, Covanta Energy voluntarily reduced the
letter of credit facility from $340 million to
$320 million. On May 26, 2006, Covanta Energy entered
into agreements which amended its credit arrangements. All
material terms of Covanta Energys first priority senior
secured credit facility and second priority senior secured
credit facility remain unchanged except for the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Interest rates applicable to the existing first lien term loan
and to credit linked deposits applicable to its first lien
funded letter of credit facility were reduced from LIBOR plus
3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.25%.
|
|
|
|
The amount available for the issuance of letters of credit under
the existing $100 million first lien revolving credit
facility was increased from $75 million to $90 million.
|
|
|
|
New term loan commitments were provided which allowed Covanta
Energy to increase the principal amount outstanding under its
first lien term loan facility by up to $140 million, the
proceeds of which were to be used to prepay up to
$140 million under the existing second lien term loan
facility.
|
|
|
|
Certain covenants restricting Covanta Energys ability to
invest available cash and enter into limited recourse borrowings
were modified to provide additional flexibility in the context
of permitted acquisitions.
|
On June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy utilized the new term loan
commitment of $140 million on its first lien term loan
facility to prepay $140 million under the second lien term
loan facility. Covanta Energy recognized a loss on
extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million which is classified
as other expense on the condensed consolidated statement of
operations and a write-off to interest expense of a portion of
the second lien term loan facility deferred financing costs of
$4.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006
related to the $140 million prepayment under the second
lien term loan facility.

As of June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy had neither drawn on
the revolving credit facility nor caused to be issued any
letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. On
March 21, 2006, Covantas availability under the
funded letter of credit facility was voluntarily reduced to
$320 million from $340 million. As of June 30,
2006, Covanta Energy had $289.5 million outstanding letters
of credit under the funded letter of credit facility.
Debt
Covenants and Defaults
The loan documentation under the credit facilities, as amended,
contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and
financial covenants. During the term of the credit facilities,
Covanta expects that the negative covenants will restrict the
ability of Covanta Energy and its subsidiaries to take specified
actions, subject to exceptions. As of June 30, 2006,
Covanta Energy was in compliance with covenants under the credit
facilities.
Interest
and Fee Terms
Under the amended credit facilities, the borrowing margins for
first lien term loan facility and the funded letter of credit
facility are 2.25% for Eurodollar rate loans and 1.25% for base
rate loans. The borrowing margins under the second lien term
loan facility are 5.50% for Eurodollar rate loans and 4.50% for
base rate loans. The borrowing margins for the revolving credit
facility remain unchanged from the existing agreements.
Stockholders
Equity
Covanta agreed as part of the Covanta Energy acquisition to
conduct a rights offering for up to 3.0 million shares of
its common stock to certain holders of 9.25% debentures
issued by Covanta Energy prior to its bankruptcy at a purchase
price of $1.53 per share (the 9.25% Offering).
Because of the possibility that the 9.25% Offering could not be
completed prior to the completion of the ARC Holdings
acquisition, and the related ARC Holdings Rights Offering,
Covanta restructured the 9.25% Offering so that the holders that
participated in the 9.25% Offering were offered the right to
purchase an additional 2.7 million shares of Covantas
common stock at the same purchase price ($6.00 per share)
as in the ARC Holdings Rights Offering. This represented an
equivalent number of shares of common stock that such holders
would have been entitled to purchase in the ARC Holdings Rights
Offering if the 9.25% Offering was consummated on or prior to
the record date for the ARC Holdings Rights Offering. On
February 24, 2006, Covanta completed the 9.25% Offering in
which 5,696,911 shares were issued in consideration for
$20.8 million in net proceeds.
Effective as of March 17, 2006, the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors authorized the award of
480,055 shares of restricted stock to certain employees
under the Employee Plan. On May 31, 2006, Covanta granted
36,000 shares of restricted stock under the Directors Plan.

Effective December 31, 2005, Covanta Energy froze the
defined benefit pension plan. |
Effective December 31, 2005, Covanta Energy froze the
Covanta Energy Pension Plan (the defined benefit pension plans
for domestic employees). All active employees who were eligible
participants in the defined benefit pension plan as of
December 31, 2005, were 100% vested and had a
non-forfeitable right to these benefits as of such date.
Effective January 1, 2006, in connection with freezing its
defined benefit pension plans for domestic employees, Covanta
Energy enhanced the Covanta Energy Savings Plan (the defined
contribution plan for domestic employees) by increasing its
contribution toward the savings plan. Covanta Energys
costs related to these savings plans were $2.6 million and
$0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively and $5.8 million and
$1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively.

On January 12, 2005, two subsidiaries of Covanta received
warrants to purchase 168,230 shares of common stock of
American Commercial Lines LLC (ACL) at
$12.00 per share. The number of shares and exercise price
subject to the warrants were subsequently adjusted to
672,920 shares at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share, as a result of a four for one stock split effective as of
August 2005. The warrants were given by certain of the former
creditors of ACL under the ACL plan of reorganization.
Covantas investment in ACL was written down to zero in
2003.
Covanta recorded the warrants as a derivative security in
accordance with SFAS No. 133 Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS 133). Covanta recorded the warrants at
their aggregate fair value of $0.8 million on the grant
date and marked the warrants to their fair value of
$4.5 million as of March 31, 2005. The mark to market
adjustment at June 30, 2005 was an increase to the
investment in ACL warrants to $5.0 million in the condensed
consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding pre-tax gain on
derivative instruments of $0.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2005. In October 2005, Covanta converted the
ACL warrants into shares of ACLs common stock and sold the
shares.
Interest
Rate Swaps
Under its credit arrangements, Covanta Energy is required to
enter into hedging arrangements for a portion of its exposure to
interest rate changes with respect to its borrowings under the
credit facilities. On July 8, 2005, Covanta Energy entered
into two separate pay fixed, receive floating interest rate swap
agreements with a total notional amount of $300 million. On
March 21, 2006, Covanta entered into one additional pay
fixed, receive

STATEMENTS (Continued)
floating interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of
$37.5 million. These swaps were designated as cash flow
hedges in accordance with SFAS 133. Accordingly, unrealized
gains or losses will be deferred in other comprehensive income
until the hedged cash flows affect earnings. The impact of the
swaps was to decrease interest expense for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2006 by $0.5 million and
$0.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the
net after-tax deferred gain in other comprehensive income was
$4.6 million ($6.8 million before income taxes) which
was recorded in other assets.

Commitments
and Contingencies

Covanta
and/or its
subsidiaries are party to a number of claims, lawsuits and
pending actions, most of which are routine and all of which are
incidental to its business. Covanta assesses the likelihood of
potential losses on an ongoing basis and when losses are
considered probable and reasonably estimable, records as a loss
an estimate of the ultimate outcome. If Covanta can only
estimate the range of a possible loss, an amount representing
the low end of the range of possible outcomes is recorded. The
final consequences of these proceedings are not presently
determinable with certainty.
Covanta
Energy Corporation
Generally, claims and lawsuits against Covanta Energy and its
subsidiaries that had filed bankruptcy petitions and
subsequently emerged from bankruptcy arising from events
occurring prior to their respective petition dates, have been
resolved pursuant to the Covanta Energy Reorganization Plan, and
have been discharged pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court
which confirmed the Covanta Energy Reorganization Plan or
similar plans of subsidiaries emerging separately from
Chapter 11. However, to the extent that claims are not
dischargeable in bankruptcy, such claims may not be discharged.
For example, the claims of certain persons who were personally
injured prior to the petition date but whose injury only became
manifest thereafter may not be discharged pursuant to the
Covanta Energy Reorganization Plan.
Environmental
Matters
Covanta Energys operations are subject to environmental
regulatory laws and environmental remediation laws. Although
Covanta Energys operations are occasionally subject to
proceedings and orders pertaining to emissions into the
environment and other environmental violations, which may result
in fines, penalties, damages or other sanctions, Covanta
believes that Covanta Energy is in substantial compliance with
existing environmental laws and regulations.
Covanta Energy may be identified, along with other entities, as
being among parties potentially responsible for contribution to
costs associated with the correction and remediation of
environmental conditions at disposal sites subject to federal
and/or
analogous state laws. In certain instances, Covanta Energy may
be exposed to joint and several liabilities for remedial action
or damages. Covanta Energys ultimate liability in
connection with such environmental claims will depend on many
factors, including its volumetric share of waste, the total cost
of remediation, and the financial viability of other companies
that also sent waste to a given site and, in the case of
divested operations, its contractual arrangement with the
purchaser of such operations. Generally such claims arising
prior to the first petition date were resolved in and discharged
by Covanta Energys Chapter 11 cases.
The potential costs related to the matters described below and
the possible impact on future operations are uncertain due in
part to the complexity of governmental laws and regulations and
their interpretations, the varying costs and effectiveness of
cleanup technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other
types of recovery and the questionable level of Covanta
Energys responsibility. Although the ultimate outcome and
expense of any litigation, including environmental remediation,
is uncertain, Covanta Energy believes that the following
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on Covanta
Energys consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

COVANTA
HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In June 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) named Covanta Energys wholly-owned
subsidiary, Covanta Haverhill, Inc. (Haverhill), as
one of 2,000 potentially responsible parties (PRPs)
at the Beede Waste Oil Superfund Site, Plaistow, New Hampshire
(Beede site), a former waste oil recycling facility.
The total quantity of waste oil alleged by EPA to have been
disposed at the Beede site is approximately 14.3 million
gallons. Haverhill is alleged to have disposed of approximately
44,000 gallons of waste oil at the Beede site. On
January 9, 2004, the EPA signed its Record of Decision
(ROD) with respect to cleanup of the Beede site. The
estimated cost to implement the remedial alternative selected in
the ROD is $48 million, exclusive of reimbursement of past
costs incurred by the EPA and the State of New Hampshire. On
June 20, 2006, EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order
(UAO) to a group of PRPs, including Haverhill, with
respect to implementation of the Beede site cleanup.
Haverhills ultimate liability in this matter cannot be
determined at this time as a result of uncertainties regarding
the source and scope of contamination, the large number of PRPs,
the varying degrees of responsibility among various classes of
PRPs and uncertainty as to the actions or positions that may be
taken by other PRPs with respect to the UAO in the event that a
settlement with EPA cannot be reached. Covanta currently
believes that based on the amount of waste oil Haverhill is
alleged to have sent to the Beede site in comparison to other
respondent PRPs, its ultimate liability will not be material to
its financial position and results of operations.
By letters dated August 13, 2004 and May 3, 2005, the
EPA notified Covanta Essex Company (Essex and
formerly named American Ref-Fuel Company of Essex County) that
it was potentially liable under CERCLA Section 107(a) for
response actions in the Lower Passaic River Study Area, referred
to as LPRSA, a 17 mile stretch of river in
northern New Jersey. Essex is one of at least 52 PRPs named thus
far have joined the cooperating PRP group. The EPA alleges that
hazardous substances found in the LPRSA were being released from
the Essex site, which abuts the river. The EPAs notice
letters state that Essex may be liable for costs related to a
proposed $10 million study of the Lower Passaic River, for
certain past costs incurred by the EPA totaling approximately
$2.8 million, and for unspecified natural resource damages.
Considering the history of industrial and other discharges into
the LPRSA from other sources, including named PRPs, Essex
believes any releases from its site to be de minimis in
comparison; however, it is not possible at this time to predict
that outcome with certainty or to estimate Essexs ultimate
liability in the matter, including for natural resource damages.
Given the uncertainty, Essex has entered an arrangement with the
EPA and the cooperating PRP group to settle the potential
liability Essex might have for the $2.8 million in past
costs incurred by the EPA, by contributing $0.25 million to
the cost of the study and by sharing in certain past and ongoing
legal fees and other costs of the cooperating PRP group.

The letters of credit were issued pursuant to the facilities to
secure Covanta Energys performance under various
contractual undertakings related to its domestic and
international projects, or to secure obligations under its
insurance program. Each letter of credit relating to a project
is required to be maintained in effect for the period specified
in related project contracts, and generally may be drawn if it
is not renewed prior to expiration of that period.
As of June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy had approximately
$30.5 million in available capacity for additional letters
of credit under its funded letter of credit facility and
$90 million available capacity for letters of credit under
its revolving credit facility. Covanta Energy believes that it
will be able to fully perform its contracts to which these
26
COVANTA
HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
existing letters of credit relate, and that it is unlikely that
letters of credit would be drawn because of a default of its
performance obligations. If any of Covanta Energys letters
of credit were to be drawn under its current debt facilities,
the amount drawn would be immediately repayable to the issuing
bank. If Covanta Energy were unable to immediately repay such
amounts drawn under letters of credit, unreimbursed amounts
would be treated under the credit facilities as additional term
loans.
The surety bonds listed on the table above relate primarily to
performance obligations under contracts ($42 million) and
possible closure costs for various energy projects when such
projects cease operating ($9.6 million). Were these bonds
to be drawn upon, Covanta Energy would have a contractual
obligation to indemnify the surety company.
Covanta Energy and certain of its subsidiaries have issued or
are party to performance guarantees and related contractual
support obligations undertaken mainly pursuant to agreements to
construct and operate certain
waste-to-energy
facilities and a water facility. With respect to its domestic
businesses, Covanta Energy and certain of its subsidiaries have
issued guarantees to municipal clients and other parties that
Covanta Energys subsidiaries will perform in accordance
with contractual terms, including, where required, the payment
of damages or other obligations. Such contractual damages or
other obligations could be material, and in circumstances where
one or more subsidiarys contract has been terminated for
its default, such damages could include amounts sufficient to
repay project debt. For facilities owned by municipal clients
and operated by Covanta Energy, Covanta Energys potential
maximum liability as of June 30, 2006 associated with the
repayment of the municipalities project debt on such
facilities was in excess of $1 billion. This amount was not
recorded as a liability in Covanta Energys consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 as Covanta Energy
believes that it had not incurred such liability at the date of
the financial statements. Additionally, damages payable under
such guarantees on Covanta Energy-owned
waste-to-energy
facilities could expose Covanta Energy to recourse liability on
project debt. Covanta Energy also believes that it has not
incurred such liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. If Covanta Energy is asked to perform under one or
more of such guarantees, its liability for damages upon contract
termination would be reduced by funds held in trust and proceeds
from sales of the facilities securing the project debt, which is
presently not estimable.
With respect to its international businesses, Covanta Energy has
issued guarantees on behalf of certain of CPIHs operating
subsidiaries with respect to contractual obligations to operate
independent power projects. The potential damages owed under
such arrangements for international projects may be material.
Depending upon the circumstances giving rise to such domestic
and international damages, the contractual terms of the
applicable contracts, and the contract counterpartys
choice of remedy at the time a claim against a guarantee is
made, the amounts owed pursuant to one or more of such
guarantees could be greater than Covanta Energys
then-available sources of funds. To date, Covanta Energy has not
incurred material liabilities under its guarantees, either on
domestic or international projects.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
The following discussion addresses the financial condition of
Covanta Holding Corporation (Covanta) as of
June 30, 2006 and its results of operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with the same
periods last year. It should be read in conjunction with
Covantas Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005 and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations included in Covantas 2005 Annual
Report on
Form 10-K
and in the interim unaudited financial statements and notes
included in the Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 2006, to which the reader is
directed for additional information.
The preparation of interim financial statements necessarily
relies heavily on estimates. Due to the use of estimates and
certain other factors, such as the seasonal nature of
Covantas waste and energy business, as well as competitive
and other market conditions, Covanta does not believe that
interim results of operations are indicative of full year
results of operations. The preparation of financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and classification of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ materially from those estimates.
OVERVIEW
Covanta is organized as a holding company with substantially all
of its current consolidated operations conducted in the waste
and energy services business through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Covanta Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries (Covanta
Energy), including Covanta ARC Holdings, Inc. (ARC
Holdings), which was acquired on June 24, 2005.
On June 24, 2005, Covanta acquired, through Covanta Energy,
100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ARC Holdings. ARC
Holdings and its subsidiaries operate six
waste-to-energy
facilities located in the northeastern United States and
TransRiver Marketing Company, L.P. (TransRiver), a
waste procurement company. Immediately upon closing of the
acquisition, ARC Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Covanta Energy, and Covanta Energy assumed control of the
management and operations of the ARC Holdings facilities. ARC
Holdings results of operations were consolidated into
Covanta beginning on June 25, 2005. See Note 3.
Acquisition of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Notes). The acquisition of ARC Holdings
provided Covanta Energy with the opportunity to achieve
efficiencies and economies of scale by combining its businesses
with those of ARC Holdings and the opportunity to refinance its
recourse debt and thereby lower its cost of capital and obtain
less restrictive covenants in the credit agreements.
The consolidated performance of Covanta in 2006 and 2005 has
predominantly reflected, and the continued future performance of
Covanta will predominantly reflect, the performance of its waste
and energy services operations which are significantly larger
than its insurance operations. Accordingly, Covantas
financial performance prior to June 25, 2005 is not
comparable with its financial performance subsequent to that
date, as Covanta Energys performance has been materially
affected by the ARC Holdings acquisition. Readers are directed
to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Covantas
waste and energy services business below for a discussion of
managements perspective on important factors of operating
and financial performance.
On May 26, 2006, Covanta Energy completed the repricing of
its first lien term loan and first lien funded letter of credit
facilities, reducing interest rates on these facilities by
0.75%. Covanta Energy also received commitments to increase its
first lien term loan by $140 million, the proceeds of which
were used to pay down a portion of its higher-priced second lien
term loan facility. On June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy
reduced the second lien term loan facility from
$400 million to $260 million, and paid a required call
premium of 2%. At the same time, the amount outstanding under
the first lien term loan facility was increased from
$229 million to $369 million. Covanta Energys
first lien funded letter of credit and revolving credit
facilities remained unchanged at $320 million and
$100 million respectively. The available letters of credit
under the revolving credit facility was increased to
$90 million from $75 million. Management estimates
that the repricing will generate pre-tax cash savings through
reduced interest expense of approximately $8 million per
year beginning in 2007. Covanta expects that the cash
29
savings in 2006 will be substantially less due to the related
transaction costs and call premium that was required to be paid.
Covantas management is focused on:
|
|
|
|
|
providing its customers with superior service by operating its
existing businesses to historic high standards;
|
|
|
|
generating sufficient cash to meet its liquidity needs;
|
|
|
|
paying down Covanta Energys debt, as well as project and
intermediate holding company debt, with a stated goal of paying
down $700 million in debt (at all levels) between 2005 and
the end of 2007; and
|
|
|
|
investing in and growing its business in order to create
additional value for shareholders.
|
Maintaining historic facility production levels while
effectively managing operating and maintenance expense is
important to optimize Covanta Energys long-term cash
generation. Covanta Energy does not expect to receive any cash
contributions from Covanta except in conjunction with certain
acquisitions permitted under its principal financing
arrangements, and is prohibited under such financing
arrangements from using its cash to issue dividends to Covanta
except in limited circumstances. For expanded discussions of
liquidity, see Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Covantas liquidity is enhanced by the existence of net
operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), which
predominantly arose from predecessor insurance entities of
Covanta (formerly named Mission Insurance Group, Inc.),
which have been in state insolvency proceedings in California
and Missouri since the late 1980s. As described below,
certain grantor trusts associated with these predecessor
insurance entities (and the taxable income and loss they
generate) continue to be included in Covantas consolidated
tax group. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has
not audited any of Covantas tax returns relating to the
years during which the NOLs were generated. It is possible that
the IRS could undertake an audit of Covantas tax returns
for such years, as well as subsequent years during which taxable
income or loss of such grantor trusts (and the taxable income
and loss they generate) will continue to be included in
Covantas consolidated tax group.
The ability of Covanta to utilize its NOLs to offset taxable
income generated by operations in its Waste and Energy Services
segment could have a material effect on Covantas
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Covanta had NOLs estimated to be $489 million for federal
income tax purposes as of December 31, 2005. The NOLs will
expire in various amounts from December 31, 2006 through
December 31, 2023, if not used. The amount of NOLs
available to Covanta Energy will be reduced by any taxable
income generated by current members of Covantas
consolidated tax group, which include the grantor trusts
described above. During or at the conclusion of the
administration of these grantor trusts by state insurance
regulatory agencies, taxable income could result which could
utilize a portion of Covantas NOLs, which in turn could
accelerate the date on which Covanta may be otherwise obligated
to pay cash taxes.
Pursuant to existing agreements entered into in 1989 and 1990 at
the inception of the Mission Insurance entities
reorganization, certain persons holding claims against the
grantor trusts would be entitled to receive shares of
Covantas common stock as a distribution. In connection
with entering into those agreements, Covanta issued an aggregate
of 1,572,625 shares of Covanta common stock to the
California Commissioner of Insurance (the California
Commissioner), who administers the majority of the grantor
trusts, and 154,756 shares to the Director of the Division
of Insurance of the State of Missouri (the Missouri
Director), who administers the remaining grantor trusts.
In January 2006, Covanta executed agreements with the California
Commissioner, who administers the majority of the grantor
trusts, regarding the final administration and conclusion of
such trusts. The agreements, which were approved by the
California state court overseeing the Mission insolvency
proceedings (the Mission Court), settle matters that
had been in dispute regarding the historic rights and
obligations relating to the conclusion of the grantor trusts. As
part of the settlement, on April 28, 2006, the Mission
Court determined the aggregate amount of certain claims against
the grantor trusts which are entitled to distributions of
Covantas common stock previously issued to the California
Commissioner. The Mission Court also approved procedures by
which Covanta will determine, in cooperation with the California
Commissioner, a complete list of such claimants entitled to
receive such shares, and thereafter the number of shares to be
distributed to such claimants by the
30
California Commissioner. In connection with these agreements and
in order to facilitate the orderly conclusion of the grantor
trust estates, the distribution of such stock and the settlement
of the related disputes, Covanta paid an aggregate amount equal
to approximately $9.14 million to the California
Commissioner for distribution to the grantor trusts on
May 2, 2006. While Covanta cannot predict with certainty
what amounts, if any, may be includable in Covantas
taxable income as a result of the final administration of the
trusts, Covanta believes that these arrangements with the
California Commissioner will result in no material reduction in
available NOLs.
Covanta is in preliminary discussions with the Missouri Director
regarding similar arrangements for distribution of Covanta
common stock held by the Missouri Director to claimants of the
Missouri grantor trusts. As described in Note 11. Income
Taxes of the Notes, there is uncertainty as to whether all
eligible claimants will receive distributions of shares of
Covanta common stock from the Missouri Director. As a result of
this uncertainty, Covanta has reduced the aggregate amount of
its available NOLs by $46 million and reduced the valuation
allowance accordingly. However, in connection with the
administration or conclusion of the grantor trusts, Covanta does
not expect either further reductions to its available NOLs or
additional material amounts of taxable income to be recognized
as a result of the conclusion of either the California or
Missouri grantor trusts.
For additional detail relating to Covantas NOLs and risks
attendant thereto, see Note 11. Income Taxes of the Notes
in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
and Item 1A. Risk Factors in Covantas
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Covantas results of operations were favorably affected in
the second quarter of 2006 by two significant cumulative
adjustments for tax items related to its international business.
First, consistent with Covantas strategy to build upon and
expand its international business, Covanta intends to
permanently reinvest its international earnings outside of the
United States in its existing international operations and in
any new international business it may develop or acquire.
Accordingly, beginning in the second quarter of 2006, Covanta
adopted the permanent reinvestment exception under APB 23
and recognized a benefit of $10 million in the second
quarter of 2006 associated with the reversal of deferred taxes
accrued on unremitted earnings of international affiliates in
prior periods. See Note 11. Income Taxes of the Notes
for a more complete discussion of the future impact on the
undistributed earnings of Covantas international business.
Second, on the basis of rulings which were issued by the
Philippine tax authorities in June 2006 clarifying the tax
deductibility of unrealized foreign exchange losses upon
realization, through its equity interest in Quezon Power, Inc.
(Quezon), Covanta recognized approximately
$7 million in equity in net income in the second quarter of
2006. This amount reflected the cumulative deferred income tax
benefits related to unrealized foreign exchange losses incurred
in prior periods that are expected to be tax deductible for
Philippine tax purposes in future years. Management does not
expect to recognize similar cumulative benefits related
specifically to these two adjustments in future periods.
Covantas
Business Segments
Covanta has two reportable business segments Waste
and Energy Services and Other Services.
Waste and
Energy Services
The Waste and Energy Services segment includes Covanta
Energys domestic and international businesses. Covanta
Energys subsidiary Covanta Power International Holdings,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (CPIH) engage primarily in
the independent power production business outside the United
States.
For all
waste-to-energy
projects, Covanta Energy receives revenue from two primary
sources: fees it charges for operating projects or processing
waste received and payments for electricity and steam sales.
Covanta Energy also operates, and in some cases has ownership
interests in, transfer stations and landfills which generate
revenue from waste disposal fees or operating fees. In addition,
Covanta Energy owns and in some cases operates other renewable
energy projects in the United States which generate electricity
from wood waste, landfill gas, and hydroelectric resources. The
electricity from these projects is sold to utilities. For these
projects, Covanta Energy receives revenue from electricity
sales, and in some cases cash from equity distributions.
Through CPIH, Covanta Energy also has ownership interests in,
and/or
operates, independent power production facilities in the
Philippines, China, Bangladesh, India, and Costa Rica, and one
waste-to-energy
facility
31
in Italy. The Costa Rica facilities generate electricity from
hydroelectric resources while the other independent power
production facilities generate electricity and steam by
combusting coal, natural gas, or heavy fuel oil. For these
projects, CPIH receives revenue from operating fees, electricity
and steam sales, and in some cases cash from equity
distributions.
Contract
Structures
Covanta Energy has 23
waste-to-energy
projects at which it charges a fixed fee (which escalates over
time pursuant to contractual indices Covanta Energy believes are
appropriate to reflect price inflation) for its operation and
maintenance services. These projects are referred to as having a
Service Fee structure. Covanta Energys
contracts at its Service Fee projects provide revenue that does
not materially vary based on the amount of waste processed or
energy generated and as such is relatively stable for the
contract term. In addition, at most of Covanta Energys
Service Fee projects, the operating subsidiary retains only a
fraction of the energy revenues generated, with the balance used
to provide a credit to the municipal client against its disposal
costs. Therefore, in these projects, the municipal client
derives most of the benefit and risk of energy production and
changing energy prices.
Covanta Energy also has 8
waste-to-energy
projects at which it receives a per-ton fee under contracts for
processing waste. These projects are referred to as having a
Tip Fee structure. At its Tip Fee projects, Covanta
Energy generally enters into long-term waste disposal contracts
for a substantial portion of project disposal capacity and
retains all of the energy revenue generated. Covanta
Energys waste disposal and energy revenue from these
projects is more dependent upon operating performance, and as
such is subject to greater revenue fluctuation to the extent
performance levels fluctuate.
Under both structures, Covantas returns are expected to be
stable if it does not incur material unexpected operation and
maintenance costs or other expenses. In addition, most of
Covanta Energys
waste-to-energy
project contracts are structured so that contract counterparties
generally bear, or share in, the costs associated with events or
circumstances not within Covanta Energys control, such as
uninsured force majeure events and changes in legal
requirements. The stability of Covanta Energys domestic
revenues and returns could be affected by its ability to
continue to enforce these obligations. Also, at some of Covanta
Energys
waste-to-energy
facilities, commodity price risk is mitigated by passing through
commodity costs to contract counterparties. With respect to its
domestic and international independent power projects, such
structural features generally do not exist because either
Covanta Energy operates and maintains such facilities for its
own account or does so on a cost-plus basis rather than a
fixed-fee basis.
Seasonal
Effects
Covanta Energys quarterly operating income from domestic
and international operations within the same fiscal year
typically differs substantially due to seasonal factors,
primarily as a result of the timing of scheduled plant
maintenance. Covanta Energy has typically experienced lower
operating income from its projects during the first six months
of each year, and higher operating income during the second six
months of each year.
Contract
Duration
Covanta Energy operates its domestic
waste-to-energy
projects under long-term agreements. Energy sales contracts at
Covanta Energy-owned
waste-to-energy
projects generally expire at or after the date on which that
projects agreement expires. Expiration of these contracts
will subject Covanta Energy to greater market risk in
maintaining and enhancing its revenues. As its agreements at
municipally-owned projects expire, Covanta Energy will seek to
enter into renewal or replacement contracts to continue
operating such projects. As its agreements at facilities it owns
begin to expire, Covanta Energy intends to seek replacement or
additional contracts for waste supplies. Because project debt on
these facilities will be paid off at such time, Covanta Energy
believes it will be able to offer disposal services at rates
that will attract sufficient quantities of waste and provide
acceptable revenues. Covanta Energy will seek to bid
competitively in the market for additional contracts to operate
other facilities as similar contracts of other vendors expire.
At Covanta Energys domestic facilities, the expiration of
existing energy sales contracts will require Covanta Energy to
sell project energy output either into the electricity grid or
pursuant to
32
new contracts. There can be no assurance that Covanta will be
able to enter into such renewals, replacement or additional
contracts, or that the terms available in the market at the time
will be favorable to Covanta Energy.
Business
Development
Covantas opportunities for growth by investing in new
development opportunities will be limited by Covanta
Energys debt covenants, as well as by competition from
other companies in the waste disposal and energy businesses.
Covanta Energys business is capital intensive since it is
based upon building and operating municipal solid waste
processing and energy generating projects. In order to provide
meaningful growth, Covanta must be able to invest its own funds,
obtain equity or debt financing, and provide support to its
operating subsidiaries. Covantas domestic project
development has recently concentrated on working with its client
communities to expand existing
waste-to-energy
project capacities, and it has one project in advanced stages of
development and another under construction. Covanta is pursuing
additional project expansion opportunities, as well as
opportunities in businesses ancillary to its existing business,
such as additional waste transfer, transportation, processing
and landfill businesses. Covanta is also pursuing international
waste and/or
energy business opportunities, particularly in markets where the
regulatory environment or other factors encourage technologies
such as
waste-to-energy
in order to reduce dependence on landfilling, such as Italy,
where Covanta has an existing presence, as well as the
United Kingdom.
Other
Services
Covantas Other Services segment is comprised of the parent
company and insurance subsidiaries operations. The operations of
Covantas insurance subsidiary, National American Insurance
Company of California (NAICC), and its subsidiary
Valor Insurance Company, Incorporated (Valor), are
primarily property and casualty insurance. Parent company
operations prior to the acquisition of Covanta Energy on
March 10, 2004, primarily included general and
administrative expense related to officer salaries, legal and
other professional fees and insurance. Subsequent to the
acquisition of Covanta Energy, these expenses have been
reimbursed by Covanta Energy under a corporate services
agreement. The parent company operations also include income
earned on its investments.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2005 are not representative of Covantas
ongoing results since ARC Holdings results of operations
were included in Covanta Energys consolidated results of
operations from June 25, 2005 forward.
Therefore, given the significance of the ARC Holdings
acquisition to Covantas current and future results of
operations and financial condition, Covanta believes that an
understanding of its reported results, trends and ongoing
performance is enhanced by presenting results on a pro forma
basis at both the consolidated and Waste and Energy Services
segment levels for the three and six months ended June 30,
2006 and 2005. However, the pro forma results are equivalent to
reported results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 as there are no pro forma adjustments for
this period. Covantas consolidated and segment results of
operations, as reported and where applicable, on a pro forma
basis, are summarized in the tables and discussions below. The
pro forma basis presentation assumes that the acquisition of ARC
Holdings occurred on January 1, 2005. The pro forma
adjustments are described on page 45.
The pro forma financial information is presented for information
purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations
that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place
on January 1, 2005 or that may result in the future. In
addition, the pro forma information provided below has not been
adjusted to reflect any operating efficiencies that may be
realized as a result of the ARC Holdings acquisition.
Consolidated
Results
During the third quarter of 2005, Covanta decided to combine the
previously separate business segments of Insurance Services and
Parent-only operations into one reportable segment referred to
as Other Services. Certain prior period amounts,
such as parent investment income, have been reclassified in the
condensed consolidated
33
financial statements to conform to the current period
presentation. Basic and diluted earnings per share and the
average shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings per share have been adjusted retroactively to reflect
the bonus element contained in the rights offering conducted in
June 2005.
Covantas consolidated results of operations on both a
reported and pro forma basis are presented in the table below
(in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts):

The following general discussions should be read in conjunction
with the above table, the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Notes thereto and other financial information
appearing and referred to elsewhere in this report. Additional
detail on comparable revenues, costs and expenses, and operating
income is provided in the pro forma Waste and Energy Services
segment discussion and reported Other Services segment
discussion below.
Consolidated
Results of Operations Three Months Ended
June 30, 2006 vs. Three Months Ended June 30,
2005
Consolidated
Reported Results
Covantas net income increased by $45.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the
same period in 2005. Operating income for the Waste and Energy
Services segment increased by $48 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005. The increase in operating income resulted primarily
from the ARC Holdings acquisition in the second quarter of 2005
combined with increased operating revenues, cost reduction
initiatives and reduced scope of scheduled maintenance activity
in the second quarter of 2006. Operating income for the Other
Services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2006
was comparable to the same period in 2005.
34
Total investment income increased by $1.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005, primarily due to higher invested cash balances.
Interest expense increased by $13.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005, primarily due to the new financing arrangements put
into place as part of the ARC Holdings acquisition in June 2005
and the write-off of $4.5 million of deferred financing
costs related to the amendments to the financing arrangements in
May 2006. As a result of the amendments to the financing
arrangements, a loss on extinguishment of debt of
$2.3 million was recognized for the three months ended
June 30, 2006. Equity in net income from unconsolidated
investments increased by $10.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in
2005, due to improved performance at the Quezon facility, which
was primarily because the facility conducted a major scheduled
turbine-generator maintenance project in 2005, combined with a
$7 million cumulative deferred income tax benefit related
to unrealized foreign exchange losses that are expected to be
tax deductible for Philippine tax purposes in future years.
Quezon recorded this cumulative deferred income tax benefit in
the period ended June 30, 2006 on the basis of rulings
which were issued by the Philippine tax authorities in June 2006
clarifying the tax deductibility of such losses upon
realization. Income tax expense increased by $1.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to
the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to
higher taxable income, primarily from the ARC Holdings
acquisition, offset by a one-time tax benefit of
$10 million recorded during the three months ended
June 30, 2006 associated with the adoption of the permanent
reinvestment exception under APB Opinion No. 23
Accounting for Income Taxes Special
Areas (APB 23) as discussed in
Note 11. Income Taxes of the Notes.
Consolidated
Pro Forma Results
Covantas net income increased by $32.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the
same period in 2005. Operating income for the Waste and Energy
Services segment increased by $14.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005, primarily due to higher operating revenues, cost
reduction initiatives and reduced scope of scheduled maintenance
activity in the second quarter of 2006. Operating income for the
Other Services segment for the three months ended June 30,
2006 was comparable to the same period in 2005.
Total investment income increased by $1.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005, primarily due to higher invested cash balances.
Interest expense increased by $3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005, primarily due to the write-off of $4.5 million of
deferred financing costs related to the amendments to the
financing arrangements in May 2006 offset by lower outstanding
debt balances. As a result of the amendments to the financing
arrangements, a loss on extinguishment of debt of
$2.3 million was recognized for the three months ended
June 30, 2006. Equity in net income from unconsolidated
investments increased by $10.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in
2005, due to improved performance at the Quezon facility, which
was primarily because the facility conducted a major scheduled
turbine-generator maintenance project in 2005, combined with a
$7 million cumulative deferred income tax benefit related
to unrealized foreign exchange losses that are expected to be
tax deductible for Philippine tax purposes in future years.
Quezon recorded this cumulative deferred income tax benefit in
the period ended June 30, 2006 on the basis of rulings
which were issued by the Philippine tax authorities in June 2006
clarifying the tax deductibility of such losses upon
realization. Income tax expense decreased by $9.5 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to
the same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily due a
one-time tax benefit of $10 million recorded during the
three months ended June 30, 2006 associated with the
adoption of the permanent reinvestment exception under
APB 23 as discussed in Note 11. Income Taxes of the
Notes.
Consolidated
Results of Operations Six Months Ended June 30,
2006 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Consolidated
Reported Results
Covantas net income increased by $46.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005. Operating income for the Waste and Energy
Services segment increased by $69.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005. The increase in operating income
35
resulted primarily from the ARC Holdings acquisition in the
second quarter of 2005 combined with increased operating
revenues, cost reduction initiatives and reduced scope of
scheduled maintenance activity in the second quarter of 2006.
Operating income for the Other Services segment for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 was comparable to the same
period in 2005.
Total investment income increased by $3.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005, primarily due to higher invested cash balances.
Interest expense increased by $31.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005, primarily due to the new financing arrangements put
into place as part of the ARC Holdings acquisition in June 2005
and the write-off of $4.5 million of deferred financing
costs related to the amendments to the financing arrangements in
May 2006. As a result of the amendments to the financing
arrangements, a loss on extinguishment of debt of
$2.3 million was recognized for the six months ended
June 30, 2006. Equity in net income from unconsolidated
investments increased by $11 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in
2005, due to improved performance at the Quezon facility, which
was primarily because the facility conducted a major scheduled
turbine-generator maintenance project in 2005, combined with a
$7 million cumulative deferred income tax benefits related
to unrealized foreign exchange losses that are expected to be
tax deductible for Philippine tax purposes in future years.
Quezon recorded this cumulative deferred income tax benefit in
the period ended June 30, 2006 on the basis of rulings
which were issued by the Philippine tax authorities in June 2006
clarifying the tax deductibility of such losses upon
realization. Income tax expense increased by $3.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the
same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to higher
taxable income primarily from the ARC Holdings acquisition
offset by a one-time tax benefit of $10 million recorded
during the six months ended June 30, 2006 associated with
the adoption of the permanent reinvestment exception under
APB 23 as discussed in Note 11. Income Taxes of the
Notes. Covanta recorded a pre-tax unrealized gain on derivative
instruments of $4.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 related to its investment in American
Commercial Lines LLC (ACL) warrants which was
liquidated in October 2005 as discussed in Note 15.
Financial Instruments of the Notes.
Consolidated
Pro Forma Results
Covantas net income increased by $39.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005. Operating income for the Waste and Energy
Services segment increased by $24.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
2005, primarily due to higher operating revenues, cost reduction
initiatives and reduced scope of scheduled maintenance activity
during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Operating income
for the Other Services segment for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 was comparable to the same period in 2005.
Total investment income increased by $2.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005, primarily due to higher invested cash balances.
Interest expense increased by $1.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005, primarily due to the write-off of $4.5 million of
deferred financing costs related to the amendments to the
financing arrangements in May 2006 offset by lower outstanding
debt balances. As a result of the amendments to the financing
arrangements, a loss on extinguishment of debt of
$2.3 million was recognized for the six months ended
June 30, 2006. Equity in net income from unconsolidated
investments increased by $11 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in
2005, due to improved performance at the Quezon facility, which
was primarily because the facility conducted a major scheduled

Quezon recorded this cumulative deferred income tax benefit in
the period ended June 30, 2006 on the basis of rulings
which were issued by the Philippine tax authorities in June 2006
clarifying the tax deductibility of such losses upon
realization. Income tax expense decreased by $5.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the
same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily due a one-time
tax benefit of $10 million recorded during the six months
ended June 30, 2006 associated with the adoption of the
permanent reinvestment exception under APB 23 as discussed
in Note 11. Income Taxes of the Notes. Covanta recorded a
pre-tax unrealized gain on derivative instruments of
$4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005
related to its investment in ACL warrants which was liquidated
in October 2005 as discussed in Note 15. Financial

The following business segment discussion is presented on a pro
forma basis only. Management believes that due to the
significance of the ARC Holdings acquisition to Covantas
current and future results of operations and financial condition
that an understanding of Covantas reported results, trends
and ongoing performance is enhanced by a discussion of the Waste
and Energy Services segment on a pro forma basis. However, the
pro forma results are equivalent to reported results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as there are no
pro forma adjustments for this period. The following general
discussion should be read in conjunction with the above table,
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes.
Additional detail on comparable revenues, costs and expenses,
and operating income, within the Waste and Energy Services
segment is provided in the pro forma domestic and international
business discussion below.
Operating income increased by $14.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005, primarily due to increased revenues. Total operating
revenues increased $18.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005,
primarily from increased domestic revenues due to contract fee
escalations and higher energy prices in 2006, in addition to
higher tariffs in the international business. Total operating
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased
by $4.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2005,
primarily due to higher plant operating expenses. Additional
information regarding changes in revenues and expenses is
provided below in the discussion of domestic and international
businesses comprising the Waste and Energy Services segment.
Operating income increased by $24.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period
in 2005, primarily due to increased revenues. Total operating
revenues increased $35.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005,
primarily from increased domestic revenues due to contract fee
escalations and higher energy prices in 2006, in addition to
higher tariffs in the international business. Total operating
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased
by $11 million, as compared to the same period in 2005,
primarily due to higher plant operating expenses. Additional
information regarding changes in revenues and expenses is
provided below in the discussion of domestic and international
businesses comprising the Waste and Energy Services segment.

Energy Domestic Business Results of Operations Three
Months Ended June 30, 2006 vs. Three Months Ended

The following discussion is presented on a pro forma basis only.
Total domestic revenue increased by $10.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005, primarily due to contract fee escalation and
higher energy and scrap metal prices as described below.
Waste and service revenues increased by $5.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the
same period in 2005.
|
|
|
|
|
Revenue from
waste-to-energy
projects structured with Service Fee arrangements was comparable
to the same period in 2005. Revenues increased $4.4 million

The following discussion is presented on a pro forma basis only.
Total revenues for the international business for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 increased by $8.3 million,
as compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to a
$9.8 million increase in tariff revenues at both Indian
facilities resulting from higher fuel costs, partially offset by
a $1.9 million decrease in revenues from the Huantai
facility in China due to lower electricity and steam sales in
the second quarter of 2006 combined with the sale of the
facility during the second quarter of 2006.
Plant operating expenses increased by $8.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005. Plant operating expenses increased primarily as
a result of $10.1 million in higher fuel costs at both

was previously written off at a facility in the Philippines
during the second quarter of 2006.

Net earned premiums and other operating expenses for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2006 were comparable to the
same period in 2005. Other operating expenses consists of net
loss and loss adjustment expenses (LAE), and policy
acquisition costs as described below. General and administrative
expenses were comparable
41
for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the
same period in 2005 and decreased by $0.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same
period in 2005 due primarily to reductions in administrative
personnel and rent in the insurance business.
The loss and LAE ratio for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 was comparable to the same periods in 2005
due to the consistent performance of the private passenger auto
programs. The resulting loss and LAE ratios were 64.3% and 66.5%
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. As a percentage of net earned premiums, policy
acquisition costs were 20.5% and 17.0% for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Policy acquisition
costs increased in 2006 compared to the 2005 period due to the
elimination of the ceding commissions earned under the quota
share reinsurance agreements that were in effect during 2005.

Notes
to Pro Forma Reconciliations
Pro Forma
Assumptions
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect the following assumptions:
Covanta Energy Transactions:
|
|
|
|
|
The debt structure of Covanta Energy and CPIH that was in place
upon Covanta Energys emergence from bankruptcy on
March 10, 2004, was assumed to be refinanced, prior to the
amendment to the credit facilities
|
45
|
|
|
|
|
on May 26, 2006, in connection with the acquisition of ARC
Holdings as of January 1, 2005 as more fully described in
Note 3. Acquisition of the Notes.
|
ARC Holdings Transactions:
|
|
|
|
|
Covanta, through Covanta Energy, purchased 100% of the issued
and outstanding shares of ARC Holdings capital stock on
January 1, 2005 on the same terms described in Note 3.
Acquisition of the Notes.
|
Acquisition Activity:
|
|
|
|
|
Represents ARC Holdings actual results of operations for
the period of April 1, 2005 through June 24, 2005 and
the period of January 1, 2005 through June 24, 2005.
|
Pro Forma
Adjustments
The following are a summary of the pro forma adjustments made:
|
|
|
|
|
Waste and service revenues: To record
additional revenues prior to June 25, 2005 as a result of
conforming debt service revenue recognition at ARC Holdings
subsidiaries to Covanta Energys debt service revenue
recognition policy, which policy has been implemented by ARC
Holdings since its acquisition.
|
|
|
|
Plant operating expenses: To record as rent
expense the net impact of the change in the fair value of a
lease owned by an operating subsidiary of ARC Holdings as of
January 1, 2005.
|
|
|
|
Depreciation and amortization expense: To
reverse ARC Holdings historical depreciation and
amortization expense and to record pro forma depreciation and
amortization expense based on fair values assigned to ARC
Holdings property, plant and equipment and amortizable
intangible assets prior to its respective acquisition date.
|
|
|
|
Net interest expense on project debt: To
reverse ARC Holdings project debt prior bond issuance cost
amortization and to record the impact of fair value adjustments
to ARC Holdings project debt prior to its acquisition date.
|
|
|
|
General and administrative expenses: To
reverse ARC Holdings executive compensation and related
expenses in the periods prior to the acquisition date.
|
|
|
|
Acquisition-related charges: To reverse
employee bonuses and integration expenses as a result of the
acquisition of ARC Holdings.
|
|
|
|
Interest expense: To reverse ARC
Holdings pre-acquisition period amortization of deferred
financing costs; to record the impact of the fair value
adjustment to the intermediate debt of ARC Holdings; to record
the effect of the fair value adjustment associated with
terminating an obligation to one of ARC Holdings prior
owners; and to record the net adjustment to interest expense as
a result of the initial capital structure of Covanta Energy,
prior to the amendment to the credit facilities on May 26,
2006, described in Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
|
Additionally, in the second quarter ended June 30, 2006,
management revised its LIBOR interest rate assumption which
affected the previously disclosed pro forma results for the
period ended March 31, 2005 in the Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 2006. The impact was to
reduce pro forma net income by $1 million and reduce pro
forma basic and diluted earnings per share each by $0.01. Such
revision has been reflected in the six months ended
June 30, 2005 pro forma net income and basic and diluted
earnings per share disclosed in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
|
|
|
|
|
Income tax expense: To record the adjustment
for the estimated income tax effects associated with the pro
forma adjustments to pre-tax income and arrive at a blended
assumed effective tax rate of 45% for both the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005.
|
|
|
|
Basic and diluted earnings per share and the weighted average
shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings per share of common stock and shares of common stock
outstanding for the pro forma three and six months ended
June 30, 2005 have been adjusted to reflect the issuance,
as of January 1, 2005, of 66.7 million shares pursuant
to a pro rata rights offering to all of Covantas
stockholders on June 24, 2005 in connection with the ARC
Holdings acquisition.

Cash Flow
and Liquidity
Summary
Covantas sources of funds are its investments and
financing activities (including offerings of equity
and/or debt
securities), as well as dividends, if any, and other payments
received from Covanta Energy and NAICC. Under its financing
arrangements, Covanta Energys ability to pay dividends to
Covanta is limited, except in certain circumstances. Various
state insurance requirements restrict the amounts that may be
transferred to Covanta in the form of dividends or loans from
Covantas insurance subsidiaries without prior regulatory
approval. Currently, NAICC cannot pay dividends or make loans to
Covanta.
Summarized cash flow information for Covantas business
segments reconciled to the condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows is as follows (in thousands of dollars):

Waste and Energy Services is net of cash acquired of ARC
Holdings of $62.4 million. |
Waste and
Energy Services Segment
Cash provided by operating activities was $116.1 million
and $67.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in cash flow from
operating activities was primarily due to operations acquired in
the ARC Holdings acquisition. Net cash used in investing
activities was $22.6 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and was primarily due to the purchase of
property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing
activities was $79 million for the year ended June 30,
2006 and was primarily driven by the payment of debt partially
offset by a decrease in restricted funds held in trust.
Restricted funds held in trust were $432.6 million as of
June 30, 2006. Restricted funds held in trust are primarily
amounts received and held by third party trustees relating to
projects owned by Covanta Energy, and which may be used only for
specified purposes. These payments are made directly to the
trustee primarily for related project debt and are held by it
until paid to project debt holders. Covanta does not have access
to these funds. In addition, as of June 30, 2006, Covanta
had $19.6 million in cash held in restricted accounts to
pay for certain taxes which may be due relating to the period
prior to Covanta Energys bankruptcy and that are estimated
to be paid in the future. Cash held in such reserve accounts is
not available for general corporate purposes.
48
Generating sufficient cash to meet Covanta Energys
liquidity needs, pay down its debt and invest in its business
remains an important objective of management. Maintaining
historic facility production levels while effectively managing
operating and maintenance expenses is important to optimize
Covanta Energys long-term cash generation. Covanta Energy
does not expect to receive any cash contributions from Covanta
except in connection with certain acquisitions permitted under
its principal financing arrangements, and is prohibited under
such financing arrangements from using its cash to issue
dividends to Covanta except in limited circumstances.
Covanta Energy derives its cash flow principally from its
domestic and international project operations and businesses.
The frequency and predictability of Covanta Energys
receipt of cash from projects differs, depending upon various
factors, including whether restrictions on distributions exist
in applicable project debt arrangements or in debt arrangements
at Covanta Energys intermediate-level subsidiaries,
whether a project is domestic or international, and whether a
project has been able to operate at historical levels of
production.
A material portion of Covanta Energys domestic cash flows
are expected to be derived from projects where financial tests
and other covenants contained in respective debt arrangements
must be satisfied in order for project subsidiaries to make cash
distributions to intermediate Covanta Energy subsidiaries, and
for such intermediate-level subsidiaries to make cash
distributions to Covanta Energy. Distributions from these
intermediate-level subsidiaries may only be made quarterly, if
such financial tests and other covenants are satisfied.
Historically all such financial tests and covenants have been
satisfied. Covanta Energys remaining domestic projects
generally are not restricted in making cash distributions, and
no restrictions exist at intermediate Covanta Energy subsidiary
levels. As a result, Covanta Energy generally receives cash from
these projects on a monthly basis.
Covanta Energys receipt of cash from its international
projects is also subject to satisfaction of financial tests and
other covenants contained in applicable project debt
arrangements. A material portion of cash from Covanta
Energys international projects are received semi-annually,
during the second and fourth quarters.
Covanta believes that when combined with its other sources of
liquidity, Covanta Energys operations generate sufficient
cash to meet operational needs, capital expenditures, and
service debt due prior to maturity. Management will also seek to
enhance Covanta Energys cash flow from renewals or
replacement of existing contracts, from new contracts to expand
existing facilities or operate additional facilities and by
investing in new projects. Covanta Energys financing
arrangements place certain restrictions on its ability to make
investments in new projects or expansions of existing projects.
Financing
Arrangements
Covanta does not have any outstanding debt for borrowed money.
Covanta Energy and several of its subsidiaries have outstanding
debt obligations, which are summarized below. Covanta has
guaranteed Covanta Energys debt obligations described
below.
As part of the ARC Holdings acquisition on June 24, 2005,
Covanta Energy entered into new credit arrangements which
totaled approximately $1.1 billion and are guaranteed by
Covanta and certain domestic subsidiaries of Covanta Energy.
These credit arrangements consisted of a first priority senior
secured credit facility and a second priority senior secured
credit facility. The first priority senior secured credit
facility was initially comprised of a $275 million first
lien term loan, a $100 million revolving credit facility,
and a $340 million funded letter of credit facility. The
second priority senior secured credit facility is a
$400 million second lien term loan facility.
On March 21, 2006, Covanta Energy voluntarily reduced the
letter of credit facility from $340 million to
$320 million. On May 26, 2006, Covanta Energy entered
into agreements which amended its existing credit agreements.
All material terms of Covanta Energys first priority
senior secured credit facility and second priority senior
secured credit facility remain unchanged except for the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
Interest rates applicable to the existing first lien term loan
and to credit linked deposits applicable to its first lien
funded letter of credit facility were reduced from LIBOR plus
3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.25%.
|
|
|
|
The amount available for the issuance of letters of credit under
the existing $100 million first lien revolving credit
facility was increased from $75 million to $90 million.
|
49
|
|
|
|
|
New term loan commitments were provided which allowed Covanta
Energy to increase the principal amount outstanding under its
first lien term loan facility by up to $140 million, and
use the proceeds to prepay up to $140 million under the
existing second lien term loan.
|
|
|
|
Certain covenants restricting Covanta Energys ability to
invest available cash and enter into limited recourse borrowings
have been modified to provide additional flexibility in the
context of permitted acquisitions.
|
On June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy utilized the new term loan
commitment of $140 million on its first lien loan facility
to prepay $140 million under the second lien term loan
facility. Covanta Energy incurred a call premium of
$2.8 million which was paid on June 30, 2006. On
June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy utilized the new term loan
commitment of $140 million on its first lien term loan
facility to prepay $140 million under the second lien term
loan facility. Covanta Energy recognized a loss on
extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million which was classified
as other expense on the condensed consolidated statement of
operations and a write-off to interest expense of a portion of
the second lien term loan facility deferred financing costs of
$4.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006
related to the $140 million prepayment under the second
lien term loan facility. See Note 12. Changes in
Capitalization of the Notes for a more detailed discussion.

As of June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy had neither drawn on
the revolving credit facility nor caused to be issued any
letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. On
March 21, 2006, Covantas availability under the
funded letter of credit facility was voluntarily reduced to
$320 million from $340 million. As of June 30,
2006, Covanta Energy had $289.5 million outstanding letters
of credit under the funded letter of credit facility.
Debt
Covenants and Defaults
The loan documentation under the credit facilities contains
customary affirmative and negative covenants and financial
covenants. During the term of the credit facilities, Covanta
expects that the negative covenants will restrict the ability of
Covanta Energy and its subsidiaries to take specified actions,
subject to exceptions. As of June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy
was in compliance with covenants under the credit facilities.
Interest
and Fee Terms
Under the amended credit arrangements, the borrowing margins for
first lien term loan facility and the funded letter of credit
facility are 2.25% for Eurodollar rate loans and 1.25% for base
rate loans. The borrowing margins under the second lien term
loan facility are 5.50% for Eurodollar rate loans and 4.50% for
base rate loans. The borrowing margins for the revolving credit
facility remain unchanged from the existing agreements.
Intermediate
Subsidiary Debt
Three ARC Holdings subsidiaries identified below have
outstanding non-project debt facilities, which are described
below.
51
MSW I
Financing
As of June 30, 2006, MSW Energy Holdings LLC, collectively
with MSW Energy Finance Co., Inc., referred to herein after as
MSW I, had outstanding debt financing consisting of
$196 million of 8.50% senior secured notes due 2010,
referred to as the MSW I notes. Interest on the MSW
I notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on
March 1st and September 1st of each year.
The MSW I notes mature on September 1, 2010.
The MSW I notes are general obligations of MSW I and are secured
by a first priority lien on substantially all the assets of
MSW I, including a first priority pledge of the membership
interest in MSW Is subsidiaries and of
Ref-Fuel
Holdings LLC indirectly owned by MSW I.
The indenture under which the MSW I notes were issued, referred
to as the MSW I indenture, provides for certain
restrictive covenants including, among other things,
restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens,
certain payments to related and unrelated parties, acquisitions,
asset sales and transactions with affiliates.
The MSW I indenture provides that MSW I is not permitted to make
certain distributions or other restricted payments, subject to
certain exceptions, unless, and at the time of and after giving
effect to such restricted payment, MSW Is proportionate
consolidated interest coverage ratio for its most recently ended
four full fiscal quarters would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0 on
a pro forma basis as if the restricted payment had been made at
the beginning of such four-quarter period, and the projected
proportionate consolidated interest coverage ratio for MSW
Is four full fiscal quarters commencing with the first
full fiscal quarter after the date of the proposed restricted
payment would be at least 2.0 to 1.0. The consolidated interest
coverage ratio of MSW I was approximately 3.5x for the
twelve-month period ended June 30, 2006.
MSW II
Financing
As of June 30, 2006, MSW Energy Holdings II LLC,
collectively with MSW Energy Finance Co. II, Inc., referred
to herein after as MSW II, had outstanding debt
financing consisting of $224 million aggregate principal
amount of 7.375% senior secured notes due 2010, referred to
as the MSW II notes. All terms and indenture
descriptions for the MSW II notes are consistent with those
terms and indenture descriptions as described above for the MSW
I notes.
ARC LLC
Financing
As of June 30, 2006, Covanta ARC LLC (ARC LLC),
formerly known as American Ref-Fuel Company LLC, had outstanding
debt financing consisting of $212 million aggregate
principal amount of 6.26% senior notes due 2015, referred
to as the ARC notes. Interest on the ARC notes is
payable June 30th and December 31st of each year
through maturity.
The indenture under which the ARC notes were issued, referred to
as the ARC indenture provides for certain
restrictive covenants including, among other things,
restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, certain payments
to related and unrelated parties, acquisitions and asset sales.
In addition, the ARC indenture provides that distributions of
cash to parent entities (including Covanta Energy) may occur
quarterly and only if certain financial covenants are satisfied.
See Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in Covantas Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005 for detailed
descriptions of long-term debt agreements and applicable
covenants.
Covanta
Energy Project Debt
Domestic
Project Debt
Financing for Covanta Energys
waste-to-energy
projects is generally accomplished through tax-exempt and
taxable municipal revenue bonds issued by or on behalf of the
municipal client. For such facilities that are owned by Covanta
Energys subsidiary, the issuer of the bonds loans the bond
proceeds to Covanta Energys subsidiary to pay for facility
construction. For such facilities, project-related debt is
included as Project debt (short- and long-term) in
Covantas condensed consolidated financial statements.
Generally, such project debt is secured by the revenues
52
generated by the project and other project assets including the
related facility. The only potential recourse to Covanta Energy
with respect to project debt arises under the operating
performance guarantees described below under Other
Commitments.
Certain subsidiaries have recourse liability for project debt
which is non-recourse to Covanta Energy as of June 30, 2006
as follows (in thousands of dollars):

International
Project Debt
Financing for projects in which Covanta Energy has an ownership
or operating interest is generally accomplished through
commercial loans from local lenders or financing arranged
through international banks, bonds issued to institutional
investors and from multilateral lending institutions based in
the United States. Such debt is generally secured by the
revenues generated by the project and other project assets and
is without recourse to CPIH or Covanta Energy. Project debt
relating to two CPIH projects in India is included as
Project debt (short- and long-term) in
Covantas condensed consolidated financial statements. In
most projects, the instruments defining the rights of debt
holders generally provide that the project subsidiary may not
make distributions to its parent until periodic debt service
obligations are satisfied and other financial covenants complied
with.
Other
Services Segment
Net cash used by operating activities was $1.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to
Covantas executed agreements with the California
Commissioner as discussed in the Overview discussion above. For
the six months ended June 30, 2006, Covanta, on a
parent-only basis, held cash and investments of approximately
$62 million, an increase of $22.4 million from
December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to
proceeds received on February 24, 2006 from the 9.25%
offering in which 5,696,911 shares were issued for
$20.8 million in net proceeds as described in Note 12.
Stockholders Equity of the Notes. Of the $62 million
held in cash and investments, $55.2 million was available
to pay general corporate expenses and for general working
capital purposes. Covanta is required to maintain a separate
cash fund of approximately $6.6 million to provide
potential liquidity to its insurance business. Cash deposited
for this purpose is restricted and is not available for general
corporate expenses or for working capital requirements.
Cash used in operations from the insurance business was
$2.7 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The ongoing use of
cash in operations was due to the insurance business continuing
to make payments related to discontinued lines and territories
in excess of premium receipts from existing lines. This negative
cash flow restricted the insurance business from fully
re-investing bond maturity proceeds and in some circumstances
required the sale of bonds in order to meet obligations as they
arose. Cash provided from investing activities was
$3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006
compared with $8.2 million for the comparable period in
2005. The $4.4 million decrease in cash provided by
investing activities in 2006 was due to a reduction in
reinvestment activity in conjunction with reduced premium
production. There were no financing activities related to
Covantas insurance business in either six-month period
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Covantas insurance business, which comprises a portion of
Covantas Other Services segment, requires both readily
liquid assets and adequate capital to meet ongoing obligations
to policyholders and claimants, as well as to pay ordinary
operating expenses. The insurance business meets both its
short-term and long-term liquidity requirements through
operating cash flows that include premium receipts, investment
income and reinsurance recoveries. To the extent operating cash
flows do not provide sufficient cash flow, the insurance
business relies on the sale of invested assets. Its investment
policy guidelines require that all loss and LAE liabilities be
matched by a comparable amount of investment grade assets.
Covanta believes that the insurance business has both adequate
capital resources and sufficient reinsurance to meet its current
operating requirements.
53
CAPITAL
REQUIREMENTS
Covanta believes that when combined with its other sources of
liquidity, Covanta Energys operations generate sufficient
cash to meet operational needs, capital expenditures, and debt
service due prior to maturity. Management will also seek to
enhance Covanta Energys cash flow from renewals or
replacement of existing contracts, from new contracts to expand
existing facilities or operate additional facilities and by
investing in new projects. Covanta Energys financing
arrangements place certain restrictions on its ability to make
investments in new projects or expansions of existing projects.
Covantas projected contractual obligations are consistent
with amounts disclosed in Covantas Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005, with the exception of
changes resulting from the amended credit agreements described
above and the reduction of certain other long-term obligations.
For additional information, see Note 10. Other Noncurrent
Liabilities and Note 12. Changes in Capitalization of the
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The

The letters of credit were issued pursuant to the facilities to
secure Covanta Energys performance under various
contractual undertakings related to its domestic and
international projects, or to secure obligations under its
insurance program. Each letter of credit relating to a project
is required to be maintained in effect for the period specified
in related project contracts, and generally may be drawn if it
is not renewed prior to expiration of that period.
As of June 30, 2006, Covanta Energy had approximately
$30.5 million in available capacity for additional letters
of credit under its funded letter of credit facility and
$90 million available capacity for letters of credit under
its revolving credit facility. Covanta Energy believes that it
will be able to fully perform its contracts to which these
existing letters of credit relate, and that it is unlikely that
letters of credit would be drawn because of a default of its
performance obligations. If any of Covanta Energys letters
of credit were to be drawn under its current debt facilities,
the amount drawn would be immediately repayable to the issuing
bank. If Covanta Energy were unable to immediately repay such
amounts drawn under letters of credit, unreimbursed amounts
would be treated under the credit facilities as additional term
loans.
The surety bonds listed on the table above relate primarily to
performance obligations under contracts ($42 million) and
possible closure costs for various energy projects when such
projects cease operating ($9.6 million). Were these bonds
to be drawn upon, Covanta Energy would have a contractual
obligation to indemnify the surety company.
Covanta Energy and certain of its subsidiaries have issued or
are party to performance guarantees and related contractual
support obligations undertaken mainly pursuant to agreements to
construct and operate certain
waste-to-energy
facilities and a water facility. With respect to its domestic
businesses, Covanta Energy and certain of its subsidiaries have
issued guarantees to municipal clients and other parties that
Covanta Energys subsidiaries will perform in accordance
with contractual terms, including, where required, the payment
of damages or other obligations. Such contractual damages or
other obligations could be material, and in circumstances where
one or more subsidiarys contract has been terminated for
its default, such damages could include amounts sufficient to
repay project debt. For facilities owned by municipal clients
and operated by Covanta Energy, Covanta Energys potential
maximum liability as of June 30, 2006 associated with the
repayment of the municipalities project debt on such
facilities was in excess of $1 billion. This amount was not
recorded as a liability in Covanta Energys consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 as Covanta Energy
believes that it had not incurred such liability at the date of
the financial statements. Additionally, damages payable under
such guarantees on Covanta Energy-owned
waste-to-energy
facilities could expose Covanta Energy to recourse liability on
project debt. Covanta Energy also believes that it has not
incurred such liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. If Covanta Energy is asked to perform under one or
more of such guarantees, its liability for damages upon contract
termination would be reduced by funds held in trust and proceeds
from sales of the facilities securing the project debt, which is
presently not estimable.
With respect to its international businesses, Covanta Energy has
issued guarantees on behalf of certain of CPIHs operating
subsidiaries with respect to contractual obligations to operate
independent power projects. The potential damages owed under
such arrangements for international projects may be material.
Depending upon the circumstances giving rise to such domestic
and international damages, the contractual terms of the
applicable contracts, and the contract counterpartys
choice of remedy at the time a claim against a guarantee is
made, the amounts owed pursuant to one or more of such
guarantees could be greater than Covanta
55
Energys then-available sources of funds. To date, Covanta
Energy has not incurred material liabilities under its
guarantees, either on domestic or international projects.
Discussion
of Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles, Covanta is required to use its judgment in making
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
its financial statements and related notes. Management bases its
estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Many of
Covantas critical accounting policies are those subject to
significant judgments and uncertainties which could potentially
result in materially different results under different
conditions and assumptions. Future events rarely develop exactly
as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require
adjustment. See Covantas Discussion of Critical Accounting
Policies in Item 7 of its Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Effective January 1, 2006, Covanta adopted the fair value
recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R)
using the modified prospective transition method and therefore
has not restated results for prior periods. Under this
transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the
first six months of fiscal 2006 included compensation expense
for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but
not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant
date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense
for all stock-based compensation awards granted after
December 31, 2005 is based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
Management must use subjective assumptions in calculating the
fair value of its share-based payment awards including the
expected life of the award and stock price volatility. In
addition, management must also estimate expected forfeitures and
the probability of achieving specific performance factors
affecting the vesting of its share-based awards. Based on
Covantas current share-based awards, managements
estimate of a forfeiture rate and determination of achieving
stated performance vesting factors will have the most
significant impact on the compensation cost it must recognize.
Covanta recognized compensation expense based upon the number of
stock options and restricted stock awards expected to vest,
which was determined based on historical turnover experience of
various Covanta Energy employee populations from the Covanta
Energy pension plan. Covanta will review its forfeiture rate
annually and revise its compensation expense, if necessary.
Covanta recognizes these compensation costs using the graded
vesting attribution method over the requisite service period of
the award, which is generally the vesting term of three years.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2006, Covanta adopted the
permanent reinvestment exception under APB Opinion
No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes
Special Areas whereby Covanta will no longer provide
deferred taxes on the undistributed earnings of its
international subsidiaries. Covanta intends to permanently
reinvest its international earnings outside of the United States
in its existing international operations and in any new
international business it may develop or acquire.

ITEM 3.
|
QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
In the normal course of business, Covantas subsidiaries
are party to financial instruments that are subject to market
risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates, and commodity prices. Covantas use of
derivative instruments is very limited and it does not enter
into derivative instruments for trading purposes.
56
Except as described below, management believes there have been
no material changes during the six months ended June 30,
2006 to the items discussed in Item 7A Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in
Covantas Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Interest
Rate Swaps
Covanta Energy is required to enter into hedging arrangements
with respect to a portion of its exposure to interest rate
changes with respect to its borrowing under the Credit
Facilities. On July 8, 2005, Covanta Energy entered into
two pay fixed, receive floating interest rate swap agreements
with a total notional amount of $300 million. On
March 21, 2006, Covanta entered into one additional pay
fixed, receive floating interest rate swap agreement with a
notional amount of $37.5 million. These swaps were
designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with
SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and accordingly,
unrealized gains or losses will be deferred in other
comprehensive income until the hedged cash flows affect
earnings. Covanta Energy does not seek to make a profit from
changes in interest rates. Covanta Energy manages interest rate
sensitivity by measuring potential increases in interest expense
that would result from a probable change in interest rates. When
the potential increase in interest expense exceeds an acceptable
amount, Covanta Energy reduces risk by entering into interest
rate swap agreements. The impact of the swaps was to decrease
interest expense for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2006 by $0.5 million and $0.7 million,
respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the net after-tax
deferred gain in other comprehensive income was
$4.6 million ($6.8 million before income taxes) which
was recorded in other assets.
|
|
ITEM 4.
|
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
Covantas management, with the participation of its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of Covantas disclosure controls and
procedures, as required by
Rule 13a-15(b)
and
15d-15(b)
under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2006. Covantas
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably
assure that information required to be disclosed by Covanta in
reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to Covantas management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and
forms. Accordingly, Covantas management has concluded that
Covantas disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of June 30, 2006.
Covantas management, with the participation of its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that its
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide such
reasonable assurance.
Covantas management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure
controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and
the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Covanta have been
prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and
that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual
acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
unauthorized override of the control. The design of any system
of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be
detected.
During the three month period ending June 30, 2006, Covanta
began implementation of a new operating system for the recording
of information relating to its business. That effort is underway
and is expected to continue into 2007. Covanta initiated this
effort as part of a routine system upgrade and as part of its
integration efforts related to the ARC Holdings acquisition.
Covanta believes the new operating system, when fully
implemented, will maintain and enhance its system of internal
controls over financial reporting and its ability to record,
process,
57
summarize and report information required to be disclosed within
the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
