Item 8.01     Other Events.
Harsco Corporation (the "Company") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide financial information that revises and corrects historic financial information to reflect the impact of the revision noted below as well as all previously disclosed immaterial out-of-period adjustments, including tax adjustments. In order to assist investors, the Company is revising previously reported financial information to reflect the impact of the revisions described below.

As previously disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015, the Company identified an error that would have had the net effect of decreasing after-tax income by $7.5 million, related to an unasserted multiemployer pension plan withdrawal liability that should have been recorded by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company became aware of a potential withdrawal liability during the first quarter of 2015 and followed the Company's standard procedure of engaging outside experts to determine the amount of potential liability. Based on these procedures, the Company determined it had triggered a partial withdrawal during the fourth quarter of 2012 due to a decrease in hours worked by the Company's employees who participate in the plan and that such amount should have been accrued in that period. The Company assessed the individual and aggregate impact of this error on the current year and all prior periods and determined that the cumulative effect of this error was material to both the first quarter and expected full-year 2015 results, but did not result in a material misstatement to any previously issued annual or quarterly financial statements.
The audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”) did not reflect the impact of the above revision. The following portions of the Form 10-K, including audited financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2014, and as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, have been updated to reflect the impact of the above revision as well as all previously disclosed immaterial out-of-period adjustments, including tax adjustments, for the financial statements originally filed with the Form 10-K and are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference:

Item 1 - Business
Item 6 - Selected Financial Data
Consistent with the correction of the above noted immaterial out-of-period adjustments, including tax adjustments, as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company's net loss decreased by $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the Company's net income decreased by $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Consistent with the correction of the above noted immaterial out-of-period adjustments, including tax adjustments, as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company's net income (loss) attributable to Harsco Corporation decreased by $0.9 million, increased by $1.4 million, increased by $1.0 million and increased by $1.2 million for first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, and increased $0.3 million, decreased $4.0 million, decreased $0.8 million and decreased $0.3 million for first, second, third, and fourth quarters of 2013, respectively.
