NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” and “our”) is a diversified holding company which seeks to acquire and grow attractive businesses that we believe can generate long-term sustainable free cash flow and attractive returns. While the Company generally intends to acquire controlling equity interests in its operating subsidiaries, the Company may invest to a limited extent in a variety of debt instruments or noncontrolling equity interest positions. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE MKT LLC under the symbol “HCHC”.

The Company currently has six reportable segments based on management’s organization of the enterprise—Manufacturing, Marine Services, Utilities, Telecommunications, Life Sciences and Other, which includes operations that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

Our Manufacturing segment includes Schuff International, Inc. (“Schuff”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which primarily operate as integrated fabricators and erectors of structural steel and heavy steel plates with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Schuff has operations in Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Kansas and California, with its construction projects primarily located in the aforementioned states. In addition, Schuff has construction projects in select international markets, primarily Panama through a Panamanian joint venture with Empresas Hopsa, S.A. that provides steel fabrication services.

Our Marine Services segment includes Global Marine Systems Limited (“GMSL”). GMSL is a leading provider of engineering and underwater services on submarine cables. In conjunction with our acquisition of GMSL, approximately 3% of the Company’s interest in GMSL was purchased by a group of individuals, leaving the Company’s controlling interest at approximately 97% .

Our Utilities segment includes American Natural Gas (“ANG”), which is a premier distributor of natural gas motor fuel headquartered in the Northeast that designs, builds, owns, acquires, operates and maintains compressed natural gas fueling stations for transportation vehicles.

In our Telecommunications segment, we operate a telecommunications business including a network of direct routes and provide premium voice communication services for national telecom operators, mobile operators, wholesale carriers, prepaid operators, Voice over Internet Protocol service operators and Internet service providers from our International Carrier Services (“ICS”) business unit.

In our Life Sciences segment, we operate Pansend Life Sciences, LLC (“Pansend”, f/k/a Pansend, LLC), which has a 77% interest in Genovel Orthopedics, Inc., which seeks to develop products to treat early osteoarthritis of the knee, and a 61% interest in R2 Dermatology (f/k/a GemDerm Aesthetics, Inc.), which develops skin lightening technology. Additionally, in August 2015, the Company purchased 180,415 shares of MediBeacon, Inc., Preferred Stock for $2.9 million for a total ownership of approximately 9% .

In February 2015, the Company sold 586,095 shares of Novatel Wireless, Inc. (“Novatel”) common stock and a warrant to purchase 293,047 shares of Novatel's common stock for $1.0 million which resulted in a gain of $0.2 million . In March 2015, the Company exercised a warrant to purchase 3,824,600 shares of Novatel's common stock for $8.6 million and also acquired a new warrant to purchase 1,593,583 shares of Novatel's common stock at $5.50 per share. The Company’s ownership increased to approximately 23% of Novatel’s common stock.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) for the interim periods. The results for the Company’s three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 . The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and all other subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company has a 97% interest in GMSL, a 91% interest in Schuff, a 53% interest in ANG and a 100% interest in DMi, Inc. Through its subsidiary, Pansend, the Company has a 77% interest in Genovel Orthopedics, Inc. and a 61% interest in R2 Dermatology. The results of each of these entities are consolidated with the Company’s results from and after their respective acquisition dates based on guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). The remaining interests not owned by the Company are presented as a noncontrolling interest component of total equity. Schuff uses a 4-4-5 week quarterly cycle, which for the third quarter of 2015 ended on September 27, 2015.

Reclassification - Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentations related to the reporting of new balance sheet line items.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles - In April 2014, an update was issued to the Presentation of Financial Statements Topic No. 205 and Property, Plant and Equipment Topic No. 360, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-8, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”, which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. The ASU revises the definition of a discontinued operation and expands the disclosure requirements. Entities should not apply the amendments to a component of an entity that is classified as held for sale before the effective date even if it is disposed of after the effective date. That is, the ASU must be adopted prospectively. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been previously reported in the financial statements. On January 1, 2015, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements - In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combination Topic No. 805: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement - Period Adjustments”, which requires adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This includes any effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest - Imputation of Interest Subtopic No. 835-30: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”, which codifies an SEC staff announcement that entities are permitted to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as assets. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers Topic No. 606: Deferral of the Effective Date”, which defers the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory Topic No. 330: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, which requires inventory within the scope of the ASU to be measured using the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory excluded from the scope of the ASU will continue to be measured at the lower of cost or market. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-8, “Business Combinations Topic No. 805: Pushdown Accounting-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115 (SEC Update)”, which rescinds certain SEC guidance in order to confirm with ASU 2014-17, “Pushdown Accounting” (“ASU 2014-17”). ASU 2014-17 was issued in November 2014 and provides a reporting entity that is a business or nonprofit activity (an “acquiree”) the option to apply pushdown accounting to its separate financial statements when an acquirer obtains control of the acquiree. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-3, “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which requires that debt issuance costs be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the related liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. Prior to the amendments, debt issuance costs were presented as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset) on the balance sheet. This ASU provides examples illustrating the balance sheet presentation of notes net of their related discounts and debt issuance costs. Further, the amendments require the amortization of debt issuance costs to be reported as interest expense. Similarly, debt issuance costs and any discount or premium are considered in the aggregate when determining the effective interest rate on the debt. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-2, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP relating to whether or not to consolidate certain legal entities. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-1, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”, which eliminates the concept from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. Under the ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company’s acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Estimates of fair value included in the condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), represent the Company’s best estimates and valuations developed with the assistance of independent appraisers and, where such valuations have not yet been completed or are not available, industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions. The following estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the valuations will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.

Index

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, if additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including finalization of asset appraisals, the Company will refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately.

Schuff

On May 29, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of 2.5 million shares of common stock of Schuff and negotiated an agreement to purchase an additional 198,411 shares, representing an approximately 65% interest in Schuff. Schuff repurchased a portion of its outstanding common stock in June 2014, which had the effect of increasing the Company’s ownership interest to 70% . During the fourth quarter of 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the final results of a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Schuff were announced and various open-market purchases were made, which resulted in our acquisition of an additional 816,414 shares and an increase in our ownership interest to 91% . The Company acquired Schuff to expand the business that it engages in and saw Schuff as an opportunity to enter the steel fabrication and erection market.

The table below summarizes the fair value of the Schuff assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The Company purchased 2.5 million shares of common stock of Schuff for $78.8 million . The purchase price of Schuff was valued at $31.50 per share which represented both the cash paid by the Company for its 60% interest, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest of 40% .

The purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$
Investments	1,714
Accounts receivable	130,622
Costs and recognized earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	27,126

acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill was recognized as a new stand-alone reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Amortizable Intangible Assets

The Schuff trade name was valued using a relief from royalty methodology. An estimated 60% of Schuff's revenue is generated from Schuff’s relationship with general contractors. Thus, a value of the Schuff trade name was calculated based on the present value of Schuff’s projected revenues for 15 years multiplied by 60% . The Schuff trade name was valued at $4.5 million and is being amortized over a 15 year life.

ASC 810 requires that transactions that result in an increase in ownership of a subsidiary be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest is adjusted to reflect the controlling interest’s decreased ownership interest in the subsidiary’s net assets and any difference between the consideration paid by the parent to a noncontrolling interest holder (or contributed by the parent to the net assets of the subsidiary) and the adjustment to the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary is recognized directly in equity attributable to the controlling interest. Due to the increase of the Company’s ownership of Schuff to 91% from the May 2014 acquisition date through December 31, 2014 , the Company recorded an adjustment to Schuff’s noncontrolling interest of $3.4 million and recorded as the excess book value over the fair value of purchased noncontrolling interest in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company acquired an additional 7,371 shares of Schuff that resulted in less than $0.1 million of excess book value over fair value of purchased noncontrolling interest in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The ownership interest of 91% did not change.

ANG

On August 1, 2014, the Company paid $15.5 million to acquire 15,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of ANG (the “ANG Preferred Stock”), representing an approximately 51% interest in ANG. The ANG Preferred Stock was convertible into 1,033,333 shares of common stock and also has voting rights. The noncontrolling interest represents 1,000,000 shares of common stock; thereby the Company has a controlling interest. The Company acquired ANG for its strong growth potential which is in line with the Company’s strategy to find businesses that it can operate to generate high returns and significant cash flow.

The table below summarizes the fair values of the ANG assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of ANG was valued at $17.7 million , which represented both the cash paid by the Company for its 51% interest ( $15.5 million ), and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest of 49% , which we determined to be $2.2 million .

The purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$
Accounts receivable	306
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	31
Inventories	27
Property and equipment, net	1,921
Customer contracts	2,700

Less purchase price	15,500
Less fair value of noncontrolling interest	2,189
Excess of fair value of net assets over purchase price	$ 4,855

The acquisition of ANG resulted in an excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price of $4.9 million . The Company does not believe that the circumstances surrounding the transaction give rise to a bargain purchase. The existing shareholders of ANG continue to manage the day-to-day operations and own the noncontrolling interest. Accordingly, due to the related party nature of the transaction, management has recorded the excess of the fair value of the assets acquired over the purchase price in additional paid-in capital.

Amortizable Intangible Assets

The ANG trade name was valued using a relief from royalty methodology. The value of the ANG trade name was calculated based on ANG’s projected revenues for 10 years . An estimated royalty of 4% (looking at other market participants) was calculated net of tax based upon those revenues and present valued over 10 years . The ANG trade name was valued at $6.3 million and is being amortized over a 10 year life. Customer contracts were valued using a multi-period excess earnings methodology. The value of the customer contracts ANG holds for its owned and operated facilities was calculated based on the present value of ANG’s net income from those contracts for 10 years . The customer contracts were valued at $2.7 million and is being amortized over a 10 year life.

GMSL

On September 22, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Bridgehouse Marine Limited and its subsidiary, GMSL. The purchase price reflects an enterprise value of approximately $260 million , including assumed indebtedness of approximately $130 million , leaving a net enterprise value of approximately $130 million . GMSL is a leading provider of engineering and underwater services on submarine cables. The Company acquired GMSL for its attractive valuation and strong cash position.

The table below summarizes the fair values of the GMSL assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The net enterprise value of GMSL was valued at $130 million , which represented both the cash paid by the Company for its 97% interest, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest of 3% .

The purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

The acquisition of GMSL resulted in goodwill of approximately $0.5 million . Goodwill was the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill was recognized as a new stand-alone reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

After the June 30, 2015 financial statements were issued, we updated certain balance sheet items under the purchase price allocation. The carrying value of the property and equipment, net was reduced by $5.0 million , the carrying value of the investments was increased by $4.6 million and a deferred tax liability of $0.1 million was established on the developed technology intangible asset. These increases and decreases resulted in the creation of $0.5 million of goodwill.

Amortizable Intangible Assets

• Customer contracts were valued using a multi-period excess earnings methodology. Projected revenues and margins were used to forecast the earnings for each contract taking into consideration probabilities of contract renewals. Three customer contracts were valued at £5.0 million ( $8.1 million using the exchange rate in effect at the time of acquisition) and are being amortized over a 15 year life.

• The GMSL trade name was valued using a relief from royalty methodology. Given an element of uncertainty surrounding the GMSL trade name, and consistent with likely market participant use, a probability of continuing use was applied to the projected revenue stream. The GMSL trade name was valued at £0.7 million ( $1.1 million using the exchange rate in effect at the time of acquisition) and is being amortized over a 3 year life.

• The developed technology was valued using a relief from royalty methodology. The fair value was estimated based on the revenue attributable to developed technology and the hypothetical royalties avoided by owning the technology as well as the current royalties earned, the revenue stream was adjusted for technology obsolescence, as the technology will decay over time and be replaced by new technologies. The developed technology was preliminarily valued £0.8 million ( $1.3 million using the exchange rate in effect at the time of acquisition) and is being amortized over a 4 year life.

GMSL's Joint Ventures (accounted for under the Equity Method)

• S. B. Submarine Systems Co., Ltd. (“SBSS”) – This investment was valued using an income approach (income capitalization method) and market approach (guideline public company method) and weighted each 50-50 to arrive at an operating value. From there, debt was added and a 35% ‘discount for the lack of marketability’ was applied to arrive at a fair value. That fair value was multiplied by GMSL’s ownership percentage to arrive a fair value applicable to GMSL. The income approach used year end 2014 results as acquisition-date financials as projections were not available. The multiples applied under the market approach were based on EBITDA and revenue multiples for entities operating in the same industry. The valuation resulted in a fair value of £9.7 million ( $15.8 million using the exchange rate in effect at the time of acquisition).

• Huawei Marine Networks Co., Ltd . – This investment was valued using a market approach (guideline public company method) and cost approach (book value of equity) and weighted each 50-50 to arrive at an operating value. There was no debt but a 30% ‘discount for the lack of marketability’ was applied to arrive at a fair value. That fair value was multiplied by GMSL’s ownership percentage to arrive a fair value applicable to GMSL. The multiples applied under the market approach were based on EBITDA and revenue multiples for entities operating in the same industry. The valuation resulted in a fair value of £4.3 million ( $7.0 million using the exchange rate in effect at the time of acquisition).

• International Cableship Pte., Ltd. – This investment was valued using a cost approach (book value of equity) to arrive at an operating value. There was no debt but a 20% ‘discount for the lack of marketability’ was applied to arrive at a

The income approach used year end 2014 results as acquisition-date financials as projections were not available. The multiples applied under the market approach were based on EBITDA and revenue multiples for entities operating in the same industry. The valuation resulted in a fair value of £0.7 million . ( $1.1 million using the exchange rate in effect at the time of acquisition).

• Other investments were valued at £0.3 million ( $0.5 million using the exchange rate in effect at the time of acquisition). The fair value was determined to approximate carrying value.

• Basis Differences – The total fair values of the named investments above was £17.5 million , while the carrying value (based on GMSL’s ownership percentage and using the balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 ) was £25.2 million . This resulted in a basis difference of £7.7 million ( $12.5 million using the exchange rate in effect at the time of acquisition), of which the majority of was attributable to SBSS. This basis difference will be accreted up over a 9 year period which will result in the increase to the investment in SBSS.

11% Senior Secured Notes due 2019

On November 20, 2014, the Company issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Existing Notes”). The Existing Notes were issued at 99.05% of par, which resulted in a discount of $2.4 million . The net proceeds from the issuance of the Existing Notes were used to pay off a senior secured credit facility which provided for a twelve month, floating interest rate term loan of $214 million and a delayed draw term loan of $36 million (the “September Credit Facility”) that was entered into in connection with the GMSL acquisition. On March 26, 2015, the Company issued an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “New Notes” and together with the Existing Notes, the “ 11% Notes). The New Notes were issued at 100.5% of par, plus accrued interest from November 20, 2014, which resulted in a premium of $0.3 million . On August 5, 2015, the Company issued an additional $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Additional 11% Notes” and together with the New Notes and the Existing Notes, the “ 11% Notes”). The purchasers paid for the Additional 11% Notes by granting a claims release (see Note 13 "Equity" for additional information). The 11% Notes were issued under an indenture dated November 20, 2014, by and among HC2, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (“U.S. Bank”), as trustee (the “ 11% Notes Indenture”).

Maturity and Interest . The 11% Notes mature on December 1, 2019 . The 11% Notes accrue interest at a rate of 11% per year. Interest on the 11% Notes is paid semi-annually on December 1st and June 1st of each year.

Ranking . The 11% Notes and the guarantees thereof will be HC2’s and certain of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries’ (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) general senior secured obligations. The 11% Notes and the guarantees thereof will rank: (i) senior in right of payment to all of HC2’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ future subordinated debt; (ii) equal in right of payment with all of HC2’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future senior debt and effectively senior to all of its unsecured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral; and (iii) effectively subordinated to all liabilities of its non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Collateral. The 11% Notes and the guarantees thereof will be collateralized on a first-priority basis by substantially all of HC2’s assets and the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors (except for certain “Excluded Assets,” and subject to certain “Permitted Liens,” each as defined in the 11% Notes Indenture). The 11% Notes Indenture permits the Company, under specified circumstances, to incur additional debt in the future that could equally and ratably share in the collateral. The amount of such debt is limited by the covenants contained in the 11% Notes Indenture.

Certain Covenants . The 11% Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of HC2, and, in certain cases, HC2’s subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. HC2 is also required to maintain compliance with certain financial tests, including minimum liquidity and collateral coverage ratios. As of September 30, 2015 , HC2 was in compliance with these covenants.

Redemption Premiums . The Company may redeem the 11% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the 11% Notes plus a make-whole premium before December 1, 2016 . The make-whole premium is the greater of (i) 1% of principal amount or (ii) the excess of the present value of redemption price at December 1, 2016 plus all required interest payments through December 1, 2016 over the principal amount. After December 1, 2016, the Company may redeem the 11% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The Company is required to make an offer to purchase the 11% Notes upon a change of control at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 11% Notes on the date of purchase plus accrued interest.

Terminated HC2 Credit Facilities

In 2014, the Company entered into (i) a senior secured credit facility providing for an eighteen month, floating interest rate term loan of $80 million (the “May Credit Facility”) to finance a portion of the acquisition of Schuff, (ii) a senior unsecured credit facility consisting of a term loan of $17 million (the “Novatel Acquisition Term Loan”) for the purpose of acquiring an ownership interest in Novatel and (iii) the September Credit Facility to finance a portion of the acquisition of GMSL. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the September Credit Facility to repay the May Credit Facility and

the Novatel Acquisition Term Loan. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Existing Notes to repay the September Credit Facility.

Prior to the payoff of the May Credit Facility, the Company made partial principal payments according to covenants within the agreement that required that portions of escrows received and proceeds from the exercise of warrants be used to pay down the May Credit Facility. In connection with those partial prepayments, the Company wrote off $0.1 million of deferred financing costs and $0.2 million of original issue discount in the second quarter of 2014 to amortization of debt discount. In connection with those partial prepayments, the Company wrote off $0.1 million of deferred financing costs and $1.9 million of original issue discount in the third quarter of 2014 to loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt. In connection with the payoff of the remaining balance of the May Credit Facility, the Company incurred $0.9 million of prepayment premiums and wrote off $0.3 million of deferred financing costs and $2.5 million of original issue discount in the third quarter of 2014 to loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt. In connection with the payoff of the Novatel Acquisition Term Loan, the Company wrote off $0.4 million of deferred financing costs and $0.8 million of original issue discount in the third quarter of 2014 to loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt. In connection with the payoff of the September Credit Facility, the Company wrote off $0.5 million of deferred financing costs and $4.5 million of original issue discount, which is net of a credit for previous paid funding fees of $2.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2014 to loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Income tax was a benefit of $0.6 million and an expense of $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The tax expense resulted primarily from the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 without applying a valuation allowance. The September 30, 2014 expense was due primarily to the acquisition of Schuff. Income tax was a benefit $4.0 million and an expense of $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

The Company used the Annual Effective Tax Rate (“ETR”) approach of ASC 740-270 (formerly FIN 18) to calculate its third quarter 2015 interim tax provision.

NOL Limitation

As of September 30, 2015 , the Company had an estimated NOL carryforward in the amount of $61.1 million . This amount does not include 2015 activity. In the first quarter of 2014 , substantial acquisitions of the Company's stock were reported by new beneficial owners of 5% or more of the Company’s common stock on Schedule 13D filings made with the SEC. On May 29, 2014, the Company issued 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and 1,500,000 shares of common stock to finance the acquisition of Schuff.

The Company’s annual Section 382 base limit following the ownership change is estimated to be $2.2 million per year.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company follows the provision of ASC No. 740-10, “Income Taxes” which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the

Index

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as regulatory taxes. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next 12 months , however, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

Examinations

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits there is a risk that disputes may arise. Tax years 2002 - 2014 remain open for examination.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for the consolidated financial statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its consolidated financial statements.

On November 6, 2014, a putative stockholder class action complaint challenging the tender offer by which HC2 acquired approximately 721,000 of the issued and outstanding common shares of Schuff was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Mark Jacobs v.

Hladek, Paul Voigt, Michael R. Hill, Rustin Roach, D. Ronald Yagoda, Phillip O. Elbert, HC2 Holdings, Inc. , Civil Action No. 10359. On February 19, 2015, the court consolidated the actions (now designated as Schuff International, Inc. Stockholders Litigation ) and appointed lead plaintiff and counsel. The currently operative complaint is the November 6, 2014 Complaint filed by Mark Jacobs. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that in connection with the tender offer, the individual members of the Schuff board of directors and HC2, the controlling stockholder of Schuff, breached their fiduciary duties to members of the plaintiff class. The Complaint also purports to challenge a potential short-form merger based upon plaintiff’s expectation that the Company would cash out the remaining public stockholders of Schuff International following the completion of the tender offer. Such a short-form merger has never been formally proposed or acted upon and as of September 30, 2015 , approximately 341 thousand shares of Schuff remain in public hands, representing approximately 9% of the outstanding shares of Schuff. The Complaint seeks rescission of the tender offer and/or compensatory damages, as well as attorney’s fees and other relief. The defendants filed answers to the Complaint on July 30, 2015. Defendants are currently preparing for the discovery phase of the case. We believe that the allegations and claims set forth in the Complaint are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

of the foregoing, they have been damaged in the amount of $50 million . On January 29, 2014, Globility, MIPPS Inc., and PTCI, demanded indemnification pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement among PTUS, Inc., PTCAN, Inc., PTGi, Primus Telecommunications Holding, Inc., Lingo Holdings, Inc., and Primus Telecommunications International, Inc., dated as of May 10, 2013. On February 14, 2014, the Company assumed the defense of this litigation, while reserving all of its rights under the Equity Purchase Agreement. On February 5, 2014, Globility, MIPPS Inc., and PTCI filed a Notice of Intent to Defend. On February 18, 2014, Globility, MIPPS Inc., and PTCI filed a Demand for Particulars. A Notice of Change of Solicitors to Hunt Partners LLP was filed on behalf of those same entities on April 1, 2014. On March 13, 2015, Inukshuk filed a cross claim against Globility, MIPPS, PTCI, and PTGi. Inukshuk asserts that if Inukshuk is found liable to Xplornet, then Inukshuk is entitled to contribution and indemnity, compensatory damages, interest, and costs from the Company. Inukshuk alleges that Globility represented and warranted that it owned the licenses at issue, that Globility held the licenses free and clear, and that no third party had any rights to acquire them. Inukshuk claims breach of contract and misrepresentation if the Court finds that any of these representations are untrue.

On October 17, 2014, the Company moved for summary judgment against Xplornet arguing that there was no agreement between Globility and Xplornet to acquire the licenses at issue. On June 5, 2015, Inukshuk also moved for summary judgment against Xplornet, similarly arguing that there was no agreement between Inukshuk and Xplornet to acquire the licenses in question.

On September 17, 2015, Xplornet amended its claim to change its theory from breach of a written letter of intent allegedly accepted on July 12, 2011 to breach of an oral agreement allegedly entered on July 7, 2011. The Primus Defendants (including the Company) amended their Statement of Defence and motion for summary judgment on October 6, 2015 to include a statute of limitations defense based on this change in theory. The Primus Defendants (including the Company) also filed procedural motions relating to the amendment. Xplornet disputes that the amendment changed its theory and opposes summary judgment. The hearing on summary judgment is now re-scheduled from October 7, 2015 to March 31, 2016.

Tax Matters

Currently, the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is auditing a subsidiary previously held by the Company. The Company intends to cooperate in audit matters. To date, CRA has not proposed any specific adjustments and the audit is ongoing.

12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 11, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the HC2 Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 12, 2014. The Omnibus Plan provides that no further awards will be granted pursuant to the Company’s Management Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Prior Plan”). However, awards that had been previously granted pursuant to the Prior Plan will continue to be subject to and governed by the terms of the Prior Plan. As of September 30, 2015 , there were 467,371 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying outstanding awards under the Prior Plan.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company administers the Company’s Omnibus Plan and the Prior Plan and has broad authority to administer, construe and interpret the plans.

The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock based awards, performance compensation awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing. The Company typically issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, as opposed to using treasury shares. The Omnibus Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Omnibus Plan.

The Company follows guidance which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions whereby an entity receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The guidance generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method and share-based compensation expense be recorded, based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the guidance, for all new and unvested stock awards that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , there were 25,592,356 and 23,813,085 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , there were 54,000 and 41,000 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively.

Preferred and Common Stock

On May 29, 2014, the Company issued 30,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,500,000 shares of common stock, the proceeds of which were used to pay for a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Schuff. On September 22, 2014, the Company issued 11,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $4.25 . On January 5, 2015, the Company issued 14,000 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (together with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $8.25 . In connection with the issuance of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the Company amended the certificates of designation governing the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock on January 5, 2015, which reflected the issuance of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock as a class of preferred stock which ranks at parity with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and made certain other changes to conform the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock to those of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The conversion prices for the Preferred Stock are subject to adjustments for dividends, certain distributions, stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers, recapitalizations and similar events. The Preferred Stock will accrue a cumulative quarterly cash dividend at an annualized rate of 7.5% . The accrued value of the Preferred Stock will accrete quarterly at an annualized rate of 4% that will be reduced to 2% or 0% if the Company achieves specified rates of growth measured by increases in its net asset value.

The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature on its Series A-1 Preferred Stock as a result of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock exceeding the conversion price. The Company recorded a $0.3 million beneficial conversion feature on its Series A-1 Preferred Stock which was calculated using the intrinsic value ( $4.36 — $4.25 ) multiplied by the number of convertible common shares ( $11,000,000 / $4.25 ).

Each share of Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder into common stock at any time based on the then-applicable conversion price. On the seventh anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem the Preferred Stock at the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Each share of Preferred Stock that is not so redeemed will be automatically converted into shares of common stock at the conversion price then in effect. Upon a change of control, holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem their Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Preferred Stock, which amount would be multiplied by 150% in the event of a change in control occurring on or prior to the third anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock plus and accrued but unpaid dividends and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Preferred Stock were converted into common stock immediately prior to the change of control.

Certain certificates of amendment related to the Company’s Preferred Stock (the “Prior Amendment”) did not become effective because they were filed without proper authorization of the stockholders of the Company. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock agreed to release all claims against the Company relating to the ineffectiveness of the Prior Amendments, including the fact that the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock remains at $4.25 . The release of claims was granted as payment in full of the purchase price of the $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Additional 11% Notes issued to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in August 2015. The Company recorded this payment to other income (expense), net.

At any time after the third anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, at a price per share generally equal to 150% of the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. After the third anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may force conversion of the Preferred Stock into common stock if the common stock’s thirty -day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) exceeds 150% of the then-applicable conversion price and the common stock’s daily VWAP exceeds 150% of the then-applicable conversion price for at least twenty trading days out of the thirty trading day period used to calculate the thirty -day VWAP.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 1,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were converted into 235,526 shares of common stock at the option of the holder.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurement

U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values, as follows:

• Level I — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. The type of financial instruments in Level I include listed equities. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

• Level II — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Financial instruments which are generally included in this category include long-term debt.

• Level III — Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the

significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 .

Assets by Hierarchy Level

Assets measured and carried at fair value in the financial statements are summarized below (in thousands).

September 30, 2015	Fair Value Measurement Using: — Total	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Common Equity	$ 2,593	$ 2,593	$ —	$ —

Convertible Debt	250	—	—	250
Cash Equivalents	908	908	—	—

The methods and assumptions the Company uses to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below.

Common Equity - consists of common stock of publicly traded companies. The fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets.

Convertible Debt (the Debenture) - the Debenture was valued at its as-converted value based on the number of as-converted shares as implied by the prevalent conversion price and Gaming Nation's common stock price as of the valuation date.

Warrants (DTV) - the Company utilized a Black-Scholes model. Warrants were treated as European Options due to the absence of dividends, which creates a lack of incentive to exercise the warrants until the expiry date as an investor would prefer to earn interest on the cash to be used for exercising the warrants. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis around the implied value of the company's common stock when convertible debt was converted into common stock at $2.25 per share on June 30, 2015. The Company also calibrated the stock price based on changes in the market capitalization and enterprise value/EBITDA and revenue multiples for identified comparable companies through the valuation date.

Cash Equivalents - consists of money market instruments which are generally valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets.

Level 3 Measurements and Transfers

The Company also calibrated the stock price based on changes in the market capitalization and enterprise value/EBITDA and revenue multiples for identified comparable companies through the valuation date.

Warrants - the Company utilized a Black-Scholes model to determine the estimated fair value of warrants convertible into Novatel's common stock and Monte Carlo simulation to determine the estimated fair value of the warrants convertible into Gaming Nation's common stock.

17. BACKLOG

Schuff’s backlog was $381.6 million ( $245.9 million under contracts or purchase orders and $135.7 million under letters of intent) at September 30, 2015 . Schuff’s backlog increases as contract commitments, letters of intent, notices to proceed and purchase orders are obtained, decreases as revenues are recognized and increases or decreases to reflect modifications in the work to be performed under the contracts, notices to proceed, letters of intent or purchase orders. Schuff’s backlog can be significantly affected by the receipt, or loss, of individual contracts. Approximately $122.5 million , representing 32.1% of Schuff’s backlog at September 30, 2015 , was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more of these large contracts or other commitments are terminated or their scope reduced, Schuff’s backlog could decrease substantially.

18. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 31, 2013, the Company completed the sale of Lingo, Inc., iPrimus, USA, Inc., 3620212 Canada Inc., Primus Telecommunications Canada, Telesonic Communications Inc., and Globility Communications Corporation to affiliates of York Capital Management, an investment firm (together “York”), for $129 million . The sale of Primus Telecommunications, Inc. (“PTI”) was also contemplated as part of this transaction but was deferred pending receipt of regulatory approval of such sale. The closing of the sale of PTI, which constituted the remainder of our North America Telecom segment, was completed on July 31, 2014 upon receipt of the necessary regulatory approval. The Company recorded a $13.8 million gain from the sale of this segment during the year ended December 31, 2013 . In addition, the purchase agreement contains customary indemnification obligations, representations, warranties and covenants for a transaction of this nature. The Company received $126.0 million , net of $15.25 million held in escrow as part of the initial closing, with an additional $3.0 million held in escrow and paid upon closing of the sale of PTI.

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, $6.45 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow to be released 14 months after the closing date, subject to any deductions required to satisfy indemnification obligations of the Company under the purchase agreement, which amount was released to the Company in October 2014. In addition, $4.0 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow to cover any payments required in connection with the post-closing working capital and cash adjustments, of which $3.2 million was disbursed to the Company and $0.8 million was disbursed to York upon completion of such adjustments in February 2014. The $0.8 million was recorded as an adjustment to the gain that was recorded in 2013, which resulted in a net gain from this transaction of $13.0 million . Furthermore, $4.8 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow to cover certain tax liabilities, which escrow amount will be released after a positive ruling with respect to the underlying matter is received or 30 days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations relating to the underlying matter. The $4.8 million escrow deposit is recorded in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, of which $0.4 million is reserved.

19. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share adjusts basic income per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive common share equivalents.

The Company had no dilutive common share equivalents during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 due to the results of operations being a loss from continuing operations, net of tax. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company had Preferred Stock, as well as outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs granted under the Prior Plan and Omnibus Plan that were potentially dilutive but were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share due to their antidilutive effect. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , the Company had outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs granted under the Prior Plan as well as certain warrants that were potentially dilutive but were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share due to their antidilutive effect.

A calculation of basic income (loss) per common share to diluted income (loss) per common share is set forth below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 16, 2015, the Company announced a proposed offering of our common stock in a registered public offering. The offering was made by means of a prospectus supplement to a previously filed Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2015.

On November 4, 2015, the Company issued 7,350,000 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering (which included 1,800,000 shares pursuant to an option to purchase shares of the Company's common stock granted by the underwriters). In addition the Company granted an over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,102,500 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts. The gross proceeds from this equity offering were approximately $51.5 million before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the funds to finance investments in existing subsidiaries and operations, and potential acquisitions, including all or a portion of the consideration for the insurance companies acquisitions, development and redevelopment activities, debt repayments, the repurchase or redemption of preferred stock and for other general corporate purposes.

On November 5, 2015 the Company announced that the underwriter of the previously announced underwritten public offering of 7,350,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock has exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,102,500 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts. After giving effect to the over-allotment closing, the total number of shares sold by the Company in its offering increased to 8,452,500 shares, which resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $59.2 million , before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and estimated offering expenses.

On November 5, 2015 the Company also announced that it expects to receive an $8.2 million dividend from its subsidiary, Schuff International, Inc., on December 1, 2015.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included herein, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as well as the section below entitled “—Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “HC2” means HC2 Holdings, Inc. and the “Company,” “we” and “our” mean HC2 together with its subsidiaries. “U.S. GAAP” means accounting principles accepted in the United States of America.

Introduction and Overview of Operations

We are a diversified holding company with six reportable segments based on management’s organization of the enterprise—Manufacturing, Marine Services, Utilities, Telecommunications, Life Sciences and Other, which includes operations that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds. We expect to continue to focus on acquiring, operating and growing attractive businesses that we believe can generate long-term sustainable free cash flow and attractive returns.

Our Manufacturing segment includes Schuff International, Inc. ("Schuff") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which primarily operate as integrated fabricators and erectors of structural steel and heavy steel plates with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Schuff’s has operations in Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Kansas and California, with its construction projects primarily located in the aforementioned states. In addition, Schuff has construction projects in select international markets, primarily Panama through a Panamanian joint venture with Empresas Hopsa, S.A. that provides steel fabrication services.

Our Marine Services segment includes Global Marine Systems Limited ("GMSL"). GMSL is a leading provider of engineering and underwater services on submarine cables. In conjunction with the acquisition, approximately 3% of the Company’s interest in GMSL was purchased by a group of individuals, leaving the Company’s controlling interest at approximately 97%.

Our Utilities segment includes American Natural Gas ("ANG"), which is a premier distributor of natural gas motor fuel headquartered in the Northeast that designs, builds, owns, acquires, operates and maintains compressed natural gas fueling stations for transportation vehicles.

In our Life Sciences segment, we operate Pansend Life Sciences, LLC ("Pansend", f/k/a Pansend, LLC), which has a 77% interest in Genovel Orthopedics, Inc., which seeks to develop products to treat early osteoarthritis of the knee, and a 61% interest in R2 Dermatology (f/k/a GemDerm Aesthetics, Inc.), which develops skin lightening technology.

We are evaluating several strategic and business alternatives, which may include the following: acquiring assets or businesses unrelated to our current or historical operations, operating, growing or acquiring additional assets or businesses related to our current or historical operations or winding down or selling our existing operations. As part of any acquisition strategy, we may raise capital in the form of debt or equity securities (including preferred stock) or a combination thereof. We have broad discretion in selecting a business strategy for the Company. If we elect to pursue an acquisition, we have broad discretion in identifying and selecting both the industries and the possible acquisition or business combination opportunities. We face significant competition for acquisition and business opportunities, including from numerous companies with a business

Index

plan similar to ours, and as such, there can be no assurance that any of these discussions will result in a definitive agreement and if they do, what the terms or timing of any agreement would be. While we search for additional acquisition opportunities, we manage a portion of our available cash and acquire interests in possible acquisition targets through our wholly-owned subsidiary, HC2 Investment Securities, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Seasonality

In any particular year, net revenue within our Marine Services segment can fluctuate depending on the season. Within the maintenance business (and also for any long term charter arrangements) revenues are relatively stable as the core driver is the annual contractual obligation. However, this is not the case in the installation business where revenues show a degree of seasonality. Revenues in this business are driven by the customers’ need for new cable installations. Generally weather downtime, and hence additional costs, is a significant factor in customers determining their installation schedules and most installations are therefore scheduled for the warmer months. As such installation revenues are generally lower towards the end of Q4 and throughout Q1, as most business is concentrated in the northern hemisphere.

Recent Developments

Agreement to Purchase United Teacher Associates Insurance Company and Continental General Insurance Company

On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Continental General Corporation and Great American Financial Resources, Inc. (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of United Teacher Associates Insurance Company and Continental General Insurance Company (collectively, the “Targets”), as well as all assets owned by the Sellers or their affiliates that are used exclusively or primarily in the business of the Targets, subject to certain exceptions. The consideration payable by the Company at closing is approximately $7 million, which amount will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the Targets’ adjusted capital and surplus exceeds or falls short of, respectively, an agreed-upon target capital and surplus amount (the “Closing Purchase Price”). The Closing Purchase Price will be paid in a mix of cash, debt and/or common stock of the Company, depending on the amount of the Closing Purchase Price. The Company also agreed to contribute to the Targets, immediately after the closing, $13 million in cash or assets (the “Reserve Release Amount”), and to pay to the Sellers, on an annual basis with respect to the years 2015 through 2019, the amount, if any, by which the Targets’ cash flow testing and premium deficiency reserves decrease from the amount of such reserves as of December 31, 2014, up to the Reserve Release Amount. The Company has also agreed to contribute to the Targets an additional amount in cash or assets as required to offset the impact on the Targets’ statutory capital and surplus of the election to be made by Buyer and Sellers pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the transaction, if and to the extent required by insurance regulatory authorities and subject to an aggregate cap of $22 million. We currently estimate that the Closing Purchase Price will be approximately $12.5 to $17.5 million. However, the Closing Purchase Price, the number of shares to be issued, and the amount of cash to be paid, in connection with Insurance Companies Acquisitions has not been finalized and will be determined only immediately prior to the closing. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2015, subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of required governmental approvals. We can provide no assurance that the transaction will close in the expected time frame, or at all.

Results of Operations

In the following presentations and narratives within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we compare the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 .

We have included below certain pro forma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , which include pro forma financial information for the Manufacturing, Marine Services, and Utilities operating segments. These pro forma results give effect to the acquisitions of Schuff, GMSL and ANG as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014. The pro forma results of operations were derived from the unaudited historical financial statements of Schuff for the five months ended May 26, 2014, of ANG for the seven months ended July 31, 2014 and of GMSL for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Management believes that presenting pro forma net revenue, cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses is important to understanding the Company’s financial performance, providing better analysis of trends in our underlying businesses as it allows for comparability to prior period results. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company that would have been reported had

Index

the acquisitions been completed as of their respective dates, and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity. The pro forma results of operations are limited to the discussion of net revenue, cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses, as presented below.

Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014

Net revenue: Net revenue increased $98.0 million , or 54.6% , to $277.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $179.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 . Compared to 2014 pro forma, revenues increased $53.5 million driven primarily by our Telecommunications segment, partially offset by our Manufacturing and Marine Services segments. The increase in Telecommunications was primarily due to the expansion into Latin America and other emerging markets. The decrease in Manufacturing was primarily due to the decline in projects in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions of the United States, particularly within the industrial market, including automotive plants and oil and gas projects. The decrease in Marine Services compared to 2014 pro forma was primarily due to a decrease in installation projects as compared to the prior year period and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, net revenue for Marine Services decreased by $6.6 million or 14.9% compared to 2014 pro forma net revenue.

Index

Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue increased $82.8 million to $241.5 million , or 87.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $158.6 million , or 88.4% of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 resulting largely from the full year impact of acquisitions completed during 2014. Compared to 2014 pro forma, cost of revenue increased $57.4 million driven primarily by our Telecommunications segment, partially offset by our Manufacturing segment. The increase in Telecommunications was primarily due to the increase in net revenues. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased 230 basis points quarter-over-quarter due to a shift in focus to lower margin but also lower risk customers in our Telecommunications segment. The decrease in Manufacturing was primarily due to the decrease in net revenues and cost savings on projects in the Pacific region.

Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.6 million to $27.8 million , or 10.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $20.2 million , or 11.3% of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 . Compared to 2014 pro forma, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.7 million driven primarily by our Manufacturing, Life Sciences and Corporate segments and was partially offset by a decrease in our Telecommunications segment. The increase in Manufacturing is primarily due to an increase in bonus expense due to improved financial performance. The increase in Life Sciences is due primarily to the full year impact of acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in Corporate is due primarily to an increase in stock compensation expense along with salaries and benefits, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. The decrease in Telecommunications is primarily due to a decrease of $0.4 million in salaries and benefits and $0.1 million in occupancy costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense: Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $8.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively, a portion of which was included in cost of revenue. The increase was due to the impact of purchase accounting for Schuff and GMSL.

Gain on sale or disposal of assets: Gain on sale or disposal of assets was $2.0 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The gain was primarily the result of the sale of a parcel of land by our Manufacturing segment.

Lease termination costs: Lease termination costs was $1.1 million and zero for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was the result of early termination costs of a lease associated with our Telecommunications segment which was the result of our continued consolidation of equipment from higher to lower cost markets.

Interest expense: Interest expense was $10.3 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in interest expense in the 2015 period was due to the issuance of the Company’s 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (“11% Notes”).

Index

Other income (expense), net: Other income (expense), net was income of $1.2 million and expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to interest income and gains and losses related to our long-term investments.

Foreign currency transaction gain: Foreign currency transaction gain was $1.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The gains and losses are attributable to transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.

Income (loss) from equity investees: Income from equity investees was $0.5 million and a loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The slight increase was due to investments that were made starting in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Income tax benefit (expense): Income tax benefit was $0.6 million and expense of $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The benefit recorded relates to losses generated for which we expect to obtain benefits for in the future. The tax benefit associated with losses generated by certain businesses that do not qualify to be included in the US consolidated income tax return are being reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 a benefit was recorded associated with certain costs related to prior acquisitions that were determined to be tax deductible upon the filing of the 2014 income tax returns. In addition, certain net operating losses of Genovel Orthopedics, Inc. ("Genovel") were no longer eligible to be included in the US consolidated income tax return and as such, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the Genovel deferred tax assets during the quarter.

Net revenue: Net revenue increased $440.9 million , or 138.1% , to $760.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $319.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulting largely from the full year impact of acquisitions completed during 2014. On a pro forma basis, revenues increased $130.2 million driven primarily by our Telecommunications, and to a lesser extent, our Manufacturing and Utilities segments which was partially offset by our Marine Services segment. The increase in Telecommunications was primarily due to the expansion into Latin America and other emerging markets. The increase in our Manufacturing segment was primarily due to continued revenue growth on projects in the Pacific region. The increase in our Utilities segment resulted from an increase in the number of filling stations. These increases were offset in part by our Marine Services segment. On a constant currency basis, net revenue from our Marine Services segment compared to 2014 pro forma decreased by $16.8 million or 12.7% during the current year as compared to the prior year primarily due to lower vessel utilization.

Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue increased $376.8 million to $659.4 million , or 86.7% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $282.6 million or 88.5% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulting largely from the full year impact of acquisitions completed during 2014. Compared to 2014 pro forma, cost of revenue increased $138.2 million driven primarily by our Telecommunications, and to a lesser extent, our Manufacturing and Utilities segments which was partially offset by our Marine Services segment. The increase in Telecommunications was primarily due to the increase in net revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased 300 basis points year over year due to a shift in focus to lower margin but also lower risk customers at our Telecommunications segment. The increase in Manufacturing was primarily due to the increase in revenue, partially offset by cost savings on projects in the Pacific region. The increase in our Utilities segment resulted from an increase in net revenue. The decrease in Marine Services was primarily due to a reduced cost base due to the non-recurring charters and installations in 2014 and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, cost of revenues for our Marine Services segment decreased by $8.4 million or 9.5%.

Index

Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $36.9 million to $77.4 million , or 10.2% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $40.5 million or 12.7% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulting largely from the full year impact of acquisitions completed in 2014. Compared to 2014 pro forma, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13.6 million driven primarily from our Corporate segment and, to a lesser extent, our Other and Life Sciences segments partially offset by our Telecommunications segment. The increase in Corporate included $8.1 million from higher stock compensation along with salaries and benefits resulting from increased headcount, $2.1 million higher professional fees and $1.0 million higher travel and entertainment expenses related to our acquisition activity, partially offset by $1.5 million lower occupancy costs. The increase in Life Sciences and Other is due primarily to the full year impact of acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease in Telecommunications was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in salaries and benefits resulting from headcount reductions, a $0.5 million decrease in professional fees and a $0.3 million decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense: Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $22.6 million and $4.1 million , respectively, a portion of which was included in cost of revenue. The increase was due to the impact of purchase accounting for Schuff and GMSL.

Gain on sale or disposal of assets: Gain on sale or disposal of assets was $1.0 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily the result of the sale of a parcel of land by our Manufacturing segment.

Lease termination costs: Lease termination costs was $1.1 million and zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was the result of early termination costs of a lease associated with our Telecommunications segment which was the result of our continued consolidation of equipment from higher to lower cost markets.

Interest expense: Interest expense was $29.0 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in interest expense in 2015 was due to the issuance of the Company’s 11% Notes.

Other income (expense), net: Other income (expense), net was expense of $3.5 million and income of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in other income was due to settlement cost payments to our preferred stockholders, partially offset by interest income and net gains related to our long-term investments.

Foreign currency transaction gain: Foreign currency transaction gain was $2.2 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The gains and losses are attributable to transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.

Income (loss) from equity investees: Loss from equity investees was $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was due to investments that were made starting in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Income tax benefit (expense): Income tax benefit was $4.0 million and income tax expense was $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The 2014 expense recorded is primarily related to the operations of Schuff which were not reduced by tax losses from other business units since Schuff was not eligible to be included in the US consolidated income tax return during this period. A full valuation allowance was recorded against the tax benefit associated with the operating losses of the other business units during this period. The 2015 year to date effective tax rate of 16.2% differs from the US statutory rate of 35% due to the capitalization of certain business transaction costs and the impact of 2014 return-to-provision adjustments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can

Index

also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-US GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our US GAAP financial results.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for asset impairment expense; gain (loss) on sale or disposal of assets; lease termination costs; interest expense; amortization of debt discount; loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt; other income (expense), net; foreign currency transaction gain (loss); income tax (benefit) expense; gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations; income (loss) from discontinued operations; noncontrolling interest; share-based compensation expense; acquisition related costs, other costs and depreciation and amortization.

Our Adjusted EBITDA was $14.1 million and $39.4 million for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2015, respectively. The drivers in Adjusted EBITDA were largely the result of running our fabrication facilities at optimal capacity levels and our ability to sub contract work at lower costs in our Manufacturing segment along with lower revenues in the installation business in our Marine Services segment resulting from the nature of project work in this business. This was offset, in part by, early stage investments in our Other segment, as well as Corporate.

Constant Currency

When we refer to operating results on a constant currency basis, this means operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations. We calculate constant currency results using the prior year’s currency exchange rate for both periods presented. We believe the disclosure of operating results on a constant currency basis permits investors to better understand our underlying performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

We are a holding company and our liquidity needs are primarily for dividend payments on our Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), Series A-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) and Series A-2 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (together with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). We also have liquidity needs related to interest payments on our 11% Notes and any other long-term debt, professional fees (including advisory services, legal and accounting fees), salaries and benefits, office rent, insurance costs and certain support services. Our current sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and investments, and distributions from our subsidiaries.

Our subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, purchases of network equipment, including switches, related transmission equipment and capacity, steel manufacturing equipment and subsea cable equipment, development of back-office systems and income taxes. We have financed our growth and operations to date, and expect to finance our future growth and operations, through public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities, credit facilities, vendor financing, capital lease financing and other financing arrangements, as well as cash generated from our operations.

Index

As of September 30, 2015 , we had $81.1 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $108.0 million as of December 31, 2014 . As of September 30, 2015 , we had $387.9 million of indebtedness compared to $343.4 million as of December 31, 2014 , and as of September 30, 2015 , we had $53.4 million of outstanding Preferred Stock compared to $39.8 million as of December 31, 2014 . We are required to make semi-annual interest payments on our outstanding 11% Notes on June 1 st and December 1 st of each year. We are required to make dividend payments on our outstanding Preferred Stock on January 15 th , April 15 th , July 15 th , and October 15 th of each year.

We believe that we will continue to meet our liquidity requirements, fund our fixed obligations (such as operating leases), and other cash needs for our operations for at least the next twelve months.

The ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to have access to and or generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make upstream cash distributions and fund their operations is subject to numerous factors, including restrictions contained in such subsidiary’s financing agreements, availability of sufficient funds in such subsidiary and the approval of such payment by such subsidiary’s board of directors, which must consider various factors, including general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and condition, expansion plans, any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, and such other factors such subsidiary’s board of directors considers relevant. In addition, one or more subsidiaries may issue, repurchase, retire or refinance, as applicable, their debt or equity securities for a variety of purposes, including in order to grow their business, pursue acquisition activities or to manage their liquidity needs. Any such issuance may limit such subsidiary’s ability to make upstream cash distributions. The Company’s liquidity may also be impacted by the capital needs of its current and future subsidiaries. Such entities may require additional capital to maintain or grow their businesses, or make payments on their indebtedness.

We expect our cash, cash equivalents and investments to continue to be a source of liquidity except to the extent they may be used to fund acquisitions of operating businesses or assets. Depending on a variety of factors, including the general state of capital markets, operating needs or acquisition size and terms, the Company and its subsidiaries may raise additional capital through the issuance of equity, debt or both. There is no assurance, however, that such capital will be available at that time, in the amounts necessary or on terms satisfactory to the Company. We expect to service any such new additional debt through dividends received from our subsidiaries. We may also seek to repurchase, retire or refinance, as applicable, all or a portion of, our indebtedness or our common or preferred stock through open market purchases, tender offers, negotiated transactions, exchanges for debt or equity securities or otherwise.

Pro Forma Capital Expenditures

Pro forma capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 include pro forma financial information for the Manufacturing and Marine Services operating segments. These pro forma capital expenditures give effect to the acquisitions of Schuff and GMSL as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014. Pro forma capital expenditures consist of the following (in thousands):

Restrictive Covenants

The indenture governing our 11% Notes contains certain covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The indenture also includes two maintenance covenants: a maintenance of liquidity covenant and a maintenance of collateral coverage covenant. The maintenance of liquidity covenant currently provides that the Company will not permit the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Company and the Guarantors to be less than the Company’s obligations to pay interest on the 11% Notes and all other debt of the Company and the Guarantors, plus mandatory cash dividends on the Company’s preferred stock, for the next 6 months. Beginning on November 20, 2015, unless the Company has a Collateral Coverage Ratio (as defined in the indenture) of at least 2:1, the maintenance of liquidity covenant will provide that the Company will not permit the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Company and the Guarantors to be less than the Company’s obligations to pay interest on the 11% Notes and all other debt of the Company and the Guarantors, plus mandatory cash dividends on the Company’s preferred stock, for the next 12 months. The collateral coverage covenant provides that the Company’s Collateral Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Company may not be less than 1.25:1. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with these covenants in the indenture.

The instruments governing the Company’s Preferred Stock also limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to take certain actions, including, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness; issue additional preferred stock; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain restricted payments. These limitations are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

Changes in Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was $33.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to net cash provided of $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , net loss, net of non-cash operating activity, provided $2.8 million of cash. Other major drivers included an increase in accounts receivable of $36.1 million , a decrease in billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts of $21.9 million , a decrease in accounts payable of $15.7 million , an increase in costs and recognized earnings in excess of billings of $9.3 million , a decrease in pension liability of $8.7 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $4.8 million , partially offset by an increase in accrued interconnection costs of $26.9 million , an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $18.4 million and an increase in accrued interest of $8.4 million . For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , net loss , net of non-cash operating activity, used $7.6 million of cash. Other major drivers included a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $25.5 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $6.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts of $7.7 million and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $3.8 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $44.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to net cash used of $173.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included purchases of $19.3 million in debt securities, $16.8 million of capital expenditures, purchase s of $11.5 million in equity investments and purchase s of $10.9 million in available-for-sale securities, partially offset by the sale of available-for-sale securities of $5.9 million and sale of property and equipment of $5.0 million . Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included $127.6 million for the GMSL acquisition, $85.0 million for the Schuff acquisition, $15.5 million for the ANG acquisition, $14.2 million for the Novatel Wireless, Inc. ("Novatel") investment, $7.0 million for Schuff's purchase of its common stock and $4.1 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $62.6 million acquired in the GMSL acquisition and $15.5 million contribution by the noncontrolling interest of ANG.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $55.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to net cash provided of $266.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included $425.5 million of proceeds from credit facilities and the 11% Notes and $14.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock, partially offset by $379.0 million used to make principal payments on our credit facilities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included $492.1

million of proceeds from credit facilities, $45.8 million of proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock and common stock and $24.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of warrants and stock options, partially offset by $294.2 million used to make principal payments on our credit facilities.

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency translation can impact our financial results. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , approximately 37.5% and 35.0%, respectively, of our net revenue from continuing operations was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S. The reporting currency for our condensed consolidated financial statements is the United States dollar (the “USD”). The local currency of each country is the functional currency for each of our respective entities operating in that country. In the future, we expect to continue to derive a portion of our net revenue and incur a portion of our operating costs from outside the U.S., and therefore changes in exchange rates may continue to have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused primarily by fluctuations in the USD/British pound sterling (“GBP”) exchange rate. Due to a percentage of our revenue derived outside of the U.S., changes in the USD relative to the GBP could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations. We have agreements with certain subsidiaries for repayment of a portion of the investments and advances made to these subsidiaries. As we anticipate repayment in the foreseeable future, we recognize the unrealized gains and losses in foreign currency transaction gain (loss) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The exposure of our income from operations to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is reduced in part because a majority of the costs that we incur in connection with our foreign operations are also denominated in local currencies.

We are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows of our international subsidiaries and may distort comparisons from year to year. By way of example, when the USD strengthens compared to the GBP, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for our Telecommunications and Marine Services segments, depending upon whether such businesses are operating profitably or at a loss. It takes more profits in GBP to generate the same amount of profits in USD and a greater loss in GBP to generate the same amount of loss in USD. The opposite is also true. For instance, when the USD weakens against the GBP, there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , the USD was stronger on average as compared to the GBP.

Index

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Schuff

Schuff’s off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2015 included letters of credit of $3.9 million under a credit and security agreement with Wells Fargo Credit, Inc. and performance bonds of $13.2 million.

Schuff’s letters of credit are issued for the benefit of its workers’ compensation insurance carrier. Schuff’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier requires standby letters of credit to be issued as collateral on all of its outstanding indemnity cases. The amount of collateral required is determined each year and is provided to the carrier for outstanding indemnity claims not greater than 54 months old. The prior years’ levels of required collateral can be adjusted each year based upon the costs incurred and settlements reached on the outstanding indemnity cases.

Schuff’s contract arrangements with customers sometimes require Schuff to provide performance bonds to partially secure its obligations under its contracts. Bonding requirements typically arise in connection with public works projects and sometimes with respect to certain private contracts. Schuff’s performance bonds are obtained through surety companies and typically cover the entire project price.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk Factors

Market risk is the risk of the loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying financial instruments are traded. HC2 is exposed to market risk with respect to its investments and foreign currency exchange rates. Through Schuff, we have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates charged on borrowings and from adverse changes in steel prices. Through GMSL, we have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates charged on borrowings. HC2 or its subsidiaries does not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk from such exposures.

Equity Price Risk

HC2 is exposed to market risk through changes in fair value of marketable equity securities, which as of September 30, 2015, are all classified as available for sale within “Short-term investments” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. HC2 follows an investment strategy approved by its board of directors which sets certain restrictions on the amounts of securities it may acquire and its overall investment strategy.

Market prices for equity securities are subject to fluctuation and consequently the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions.

Because HC2’s equity investments are classified as available for-sale, the hypothetical decline would not affect current earnings except to the extent that it reflects other-than-temporary impairments.

One means of assessing exposure to changes in equity market prices is to estimate the potential changes in market values on the investments resulting from a hypothetical decline in equity market prices. As of September 30, 2015, assuming all other factors are constant, we estimate that a 10%, 20%, and 30% decline in equity market prices would have an $0.4 million, $0.7 million, and $1.1 million adverse impact on HC2’s portfolio of marketable equity securities, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

GMSL and ICS are exposed to market risk from foreign currency price changes which could have a significant, potentially an adverse, impact on gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries.

We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows of our international subsidiaries and may distort comparisons from year to year. By way of example, when the USD strengthens compared to the GBP, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for our Telecommunications and Marine Services segments, depending upon whether such businesses are operating profitably or at a loss. It takes more profits in GBP to generate the same amount of profits in USD and a greater loss in GBP to generate the same amount of loss in USD. The opposite is also true. For instance, when the USD weakens against the GBP, there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses.

Interest Rate Risk

GMSL and Schuff are exposed to the market risk from changes in interest rate risk through its notes payable which bear variable rates based on LIBOR. Changes in LIBOR could result in an increase or decrease in interest expense recorded. A 100, 200, and 300 basis points increase in LIBOR based on the notes payable outstanding as of September 30, 2015 of $28.6 million, would result in an increase in the recorded interest expense of $0.3 million, $0.6 million, and $0.9 million per year.

Index

Commodity Price Risk

Schuff is exposed to the market risk from changes in prices on steel. For the large orders the risk is mitigated by locking the price with the mill at the time an order is awarded with the General Contractor. In the event of the subsequent price increase by the mill, Schuff has the ability to pass the higher costs on to the general contractor. Schuff does not hedge or enter into any forward purchasing arrangements with the mills. The price negotiated at the time of the order is the price paid by the company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On November 6, 2014, a putative stockholder class action complaint challenging the tender offer by which HC2 acquired approximately 721,000 of the issued and outstanding common shares of Schuff was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Mark Jacobs v. Philip A. Falcone, Keith M. Hladek, Paul Voigt, Michael R. Hill, Rustin Roach, D. Ronald Yagoda, Phillip O. Elbert, HC2 Holdings, Inc., and Schuff International, Inc. , Civil Action No. 10323 (the “Complaint”). On November 17, 2014 , a second lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Arlen Diercks v. Schuff International, Inc. Philip A. Falcone, Keith M. Hladek, Paul Voigt, Michael R. Hill, Rustin Roach, D. Ronald Yagoda, Phillip O. Elbert, HC2 Holdings, Inc. , Civil Action No. 10359. On February 19, 2015, the court consolidated the actions (now designated as Schuff International, Inc. Stockholders Litigation ) and appointed lead plaintiff and counsel. The currently operative complaint is the November 6, 2014 Complaint filed by Mark Jacobs. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that in connection with the tender offer, the individual members of the Schuff board of directors and HC2, the controlling stockholder of Schuff, breached their fiduciary duties to members of the plaintiff class. The Complaint also purports to challenge a potential short-form merger based upon plaintiff’s expectation that the Company would cash out the remaining public stockholders of Schuff following the completion of the tender offer. Such a short-form merger has never been formally proposed or acted upon and as of September 30, 2015 , approximately 341 thousand shares of Schuff remain in public hands, representing approximately 9% of the outstanding shares of Schuff. The Complaint seeks rescission of the tender offer and/or compensatory damages, as well as attorney’s fees and other relief. The defendants filed answers to the Complaint on July 30, 2015. Defendants are currently preparing for the discovery phase of the case. We believe that the allegations and claims set forth in the Complaint are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

On July 16, 2013, Plaintiffs Xplornet Communications Inc. and Xplornet Broadband, Inc. (“Xplornet”) initiated an action against Inukshuk Wireless Inc. (“Inukshuk”), Globility Communications Corporation (“Globility”), MIPPS Inc., Primus Telecommunications Canada Inc. ("PTCI") and Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (n/k/a HC2)("PTGi"). Xplornet alleges that it entered into an agreement to acquire certain licenses for radio spectrum in Canada from Globility. Xplornet alleges that Globility agreed to sell Xplornet certain spectrum licenses in a Letter of Intent dated July 12, 2011 but then breached the Letter of Intent by selling the licenses to Inukshuk. Xplornet then alleges that they reached an agreement with Inukshuk to purchase the licenses on June 26, 2012, but that Inukshuk breached that agreement by not completing the sale. Xplornet alleges that, as a result of the foregoing, they have been damaged in the amount of $50 million . On January 29, 2014, Globility, MIPPS Inc., and PTCI, demanded indemnification pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement among PTUS, Inc., PTCAN, Inc., PTGi, Primus Telecommunications Holding, Inc., Lingo Holdings, Inc., and Primus Telecommunications International, Inc., dated as of May 10, 2013. On February 14, 2014, the Company assumed the defense of this litigation, while reserving all of its rights under the Equity Purchase Agreement. On February 5, 2014, Globility, MIPPS Inc., and PTCI filed a Notice of Intent to Defend. On February 18, 2014, Globility, MIPPS Inc., and PTCI filed a Demand for Particulars. A Notice of Change of Solicitors to Hunt Partners LLP was filed on behalf of those same entities on April 1, 2014. On March 13, 2015, Inukshuk filed a cross claim against Globility, MIPPS, PTCI, and PTGi. Inukshuk asserts that if Inukshuk is found liable to Xplornet, then Inukshuk is entitled to contribution and indemnity, compensatory damages, interest, and costs from the Company. Inukshuk alleges that Globility represented and warranted that it owned the licenses at issue, that Globility held the licenses free and clear, and that no third party had any rights to acquire them. Inukshuk claims breach of contract and misrepresentation if the Court finds that any of these representations are untrue.
