Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator
Harsco Corporation Savings Plan Camp Hill, PA
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2014, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying supplemental schedules of Schedule H Part IV, Line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) and Schedule H Part IV, Line 4a - Schedule of Late Remittances as of December 31, 2014 have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

HARSCO CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
The following description of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only an abbreviated summary of the general provisions of the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan Description and the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan providing retirement benefits to eligible employees. The Plan is designed to comply with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and with the requirements for qualification under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").
All U.S. employees, except those who are eligible to participate in Harsco Corporation's (“the Company”) Harsco Retirement Savings and Investment Plan, who are employed by the Company or any subsidiary of either the Company or a subsidiary which adopts this Plan with the approval of the Company, are deemed "Eligible Employees.” Also eligible are employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement where the agreement provides for the employees' eligibility to participate in the Plan.
Contributions
New employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan at a pre-tax savings rate of 3% via payroll deductions with contributions being directed to a designated target date fund based on the participant's current age and a retirement age of 65. Employees have the option to opt out of this Plan or to contribute an amount different than the automatic contribution amount, and to invest in funds other than the Plan's default fund.
Contributions are in whole percentages from 1% to 75% of compensation received for services as an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The participant designates what percentage of such contributions will be "Pre-Tax Contributions" and what percentage will be "After-Tax Contributions." A participant who makes Matched Pre-Tax and/or Matched After-Tax Contributions in an aggregate amount of 6% of his or her compensation may also elect to contribute from 1% to 69% of his or her compensation as an Unmatched Pre-Tax Contribution and from 1% to 16% of his or her compensation as an Unmatched After-Tax Contribution, subject to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and Plan limitations. In no event during the year may (a) Matched Pre-Tax and Matched After-Tax Contributions exceed 6% of compensation and Unmatched Pre-Tax and Unmatched After-Tax Contribution exceed 69% of compensation or (b) Pre-Tax Contributions exceed the amount specified by the IRC. Pre-Tax Contributions constitute a reduction in the participant's taxable income for purposes of Section 401(k) of the IRC. After-Tax Contributions are considered to be the participant's contributions to the Plan and do not constitute a reduction in the participant's taxable income for the purposes of Section 401(k) of the IRC. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified retirement plans.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company makes contributions to the Trustee for the account of each participant in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of such participant's compensation designated as Matched Pre-Tax Contributions and/or Matched After-Tax Contributions.
The Company also makes contributions to the Plan under agreements with certain employee bargaining groups. These contributions, referred to as profit sharing contributions in the agreements, may be based on a percentage of employee earnings or a fixed amount per hour worked by the employee. The Company made no profit sharing contributions to the Plan in the year ended December 31, 2014.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, employer contributions and profit sharing contributions, as well as Plan earnings. Participant accounts are charged with an allocation of administrative expenses that are paid by the Plan. Allocations are based on participant earnings, account balances, or specific transactions, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon and in the Company's matching contributions. They are vested in profit sharing contributions after three years of credited service.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 to a maximum of 50% of their vested account balance, not to exceed $50,000. A loan is collateralized by the balance in the participant's account and bears interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined periodically by the Plan administrator. The participant may choose the loan repayment period, not to exceed five years. However, the term may be for any period not to exceed 15 years if the purpose of the loan is to acquire the participant's principal residence. Interest rates on outstanding loans, based on the prime rate plus one percent, ranged from 4.25% to 9.25% at December 31, 2014, with maturity dates ranging from 2015 to 2019. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.
Notes receivable from participants are carried at unpaid principal plus accrued, but unpaid interest.
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service, a participant or beneficiary may elect one of three options: to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account; a portion paid in a lump-sum, and the remainder paid later; or annual installments over not more than fifteen years.
| |
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Administration
Plan participants pay investment management and recordkeeping fees related to maintaining the Plan as a whole. Loan setup fees and withdrawal fees are paid by the participant. Purchases and sales of the Company's Common Stock are assessed a commission per share, which is paid by the participant. The fee is $0.03 per share. Investment related expenses are included in net (depreciation) appreciation of the fair value of investments.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments are reported at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Plan's Investment Committee determines the Plan's investments valuation utilizing information provided by the investment advisers and custodians. See Note 4 for discussion of fair value measurements.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net depreciation or appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as unrealized gain and losses on investments held at year end.
Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures, which are a result of participant withdrawals prior to their full vesting in the Plan, are used to reduce the amount of future employer contributions as directed by the Plan Administrator. In 2014, forfeited amounts of $90 thousand were used to offset employer contributions. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $68 thousand and $53 thousand. These accounts are used to reduce future employer contributions.
Subsequent Events
The Company and Plan has performed an evaluation of events subsequent to December 31, 2014 and through the date of financial statement issuance which would require adjustment to or additional disclosure in the financial statements. No events were identified.
3. Investments
The following table presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets:

4. | Fair Value Measurements |
The fair value framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| |
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. |
Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
•Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
•Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
| |
• | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| |
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize inputs and the use of unobservable inputs.
The Plan primarily applies the market approach for fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Plan utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Plan is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. Common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual security is traded. Investments in mutual funds are primarily valued at net asset value in an exchange and active market, which represents the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
The Plan recognizes the methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants expectations for the Plan's investments, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement. There have been no significant change in the methodologies used for transfers between levels during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan's investments at fair value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:

5. | Related-Party and Party in Interest Transactions |
The majority of the Plan's investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Wells Fargo, trustee, custodian and recordkeeper. These transactions qualify as party in interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management services amounted to $100 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Transactions in the Company's Common Stock also qualify as party in interest transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Plan purchased $1.0 million and sold $2.8 million of the Company's common stock, and recorded dividend income totaling $565 thousand from the Company.
Additionally, notes receivable from participants qualify as party in interest transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Plan received $45 thousand in interest income on notes receivable from participants.
6. Plan Termination
Although the Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue the Plan, it reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time or discontinue contributions and loans thereunder, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, the accounts of each affected employee who has not yet incurred a break in service would be fully vested. Complete distributions or withdrawals would be distributed to Plan participants and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances.
The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated March 28, 2012, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since the amendment date cited in the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed, and is currently being operated, in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRS and, therefore, believe that the Plan is qualified, and the related trust is tax-exempt.
U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.
8. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits.

Participant contributions that were transferred late to the Plan for the 2014 and 2013 plan years, as reported in Schedule H of Form 5500, involved several payroll periods between July 2013 and December 2014. Late transfers totaled $2.5 thousand, which includes $0.1 thousand of lost earnings for plan year 2014. Late transfers totaled $1.7 thousand, which includes $0.2 thousand of lost earnings for plan year 2013. The late transfers of elective deferrals for these payroll periods was a result of implementing a new 401(k) trustee and building interface files. Even though there was rigorous testing prior to implementation of a new HRIS and payroll system in early 2013, the Company experienced issues with the system after the effective date.
The late transfers were fully corrected on December 30, 2014 and April 2, 2015 for plan years 2014 and 2013, respectively. The lost earnings were posted on January 13, 2015 and April 24, 2015 for plan years 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company is in the process of paying excise tax related to the nonexempt party in interest transactions. |
