The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016,2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017,2024, or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These unaudited, condensed consolidated interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2023, and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.
Reclassifications
Due to the insignificance of our revenue from "license fees and other," we have combined that revenue with our "services" revenue beginning in 2017. In order to provide comparability between periods presented, "services" and "license fees and other" have been combined within "services and other" in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to presentation of the current period. Similarly, "cost of services" and "cost of license fees and other" have been combined within "cost of services and other" in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to presentation of the current period.
Basis of consolidation
The unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncementsReportable segment
In May 2017,We report our operating results and financial information in one operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker uses consolidated financial information to make operating decisions, assess financial performance and allocate resources.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scopereported amounts of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"), which provides guidance about which changes toassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Under ASU 2017-09, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classificationdate of the award (as equityfinancial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes, business combinations, stock-based compensation, capitalization of software and content development costs, our allowances for credit losses and sales returns, costs of obtaining contracts, valuation of derivative instruments, loss contingencies and insurance recoveries, among others.

2024 Disposition
On March 2, 2024, we completed a transaction to divest our U.K.-based creative services business EVERFI Limited, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of EVERFI Inc, which removes the requirement to performis a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carryingwholly-owned subsidiary of Blackbaud, Inc. EVERFI Limited's total revenue during 2023 was $8.4 million. We incurred an insignificant amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019,legal costs associated with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively. We early adopted ASU 2017-04 as of July 1, 2017 for use in our fourth quarter annual goodwill impairment testing and do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"), which requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, but any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The new standard must be adopted retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impactdisposition of this standard on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to current guidance. The updated guidance also eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for all entities. For lessors, the standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Classification will continue to affect amounts that lessors record on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, entities will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. We expect ASU 2016-02 will impact our consolidated financial statements and are currently evaluating the extent of the impact that implementation of this standard will have on adoption.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard also provides guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and we anticipate using the full retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. As a result of our evaluation to date, we expect that ASU 2014-09 will generally result in the deferral of more costs to obtain a contract over a longer period using the expected period of benefit as compared with our current practice of using our average initial contract term. We also anticipate incremental disclosures, including, but not limited to, the opening and closing balances of contract assets and liabilities, revenue recognized in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period, and the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period including when we expect to recognize that amount.

3. Business Combinations
AcademicWorks acquisition
On April 3, 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, including all voting equity interests, of AcademicWorks, Inc., a Texas corporation ("AcademicWorks"), pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. AcademicWorks is the market leader in scholarship management for higher education and K-12 institutions, foundations, and grant-making institutions. The acquisition extends our offerings for our higher education, K-12, and corporate and foundation customers. We acquired AcademicWorks for $52.1 million in cash, net of closing adjustments. We financed the acquisition through a draw down of a revolving credit loan under our then-existing credit facility.business. As a result of the acquisition, AcademicWorks has becomedisposition, we recorded a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. The operating results of AcademicWorks have been included in our consolidated financial statements within our EMG and GMG reportable segments (as defined in Note 14 below) from the date of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred insignificant acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of AcademicWorks,$1.6 million loss, which werewas recorded in general and administrative expense.
The fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumedexpense in the table below are based on our best estimates and assumptions asunaudited, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the reporting date and are considered preliminary pending finalization. The estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The assets and liabilities, pending finalization, include the valuation of acquired finite-lived intangible assets as well as the assumed deferred revenue and deferred income tax balances.three months ended March 31, 2024.

The estimated fair value of accounts receivable acquired approximates the contractual value of $1.0 million. The estimated goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the opportunities for expected synergies from combining operations and the assembled workforce of AcademicWorks, with $20.6 million and $13.7 million assigned to our EMG and GMG reportable segments, respectively. None of the goodwill arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.

The estimated fair values of the finite-lived intangible assets were based on variations of the income approach, which estimates fair value based upon the present value of cash flows that the assets are expected to generate, and which included the relief-from-royalty method, incremental cash flow method, including the comparative (with and without) method and multi-period excess earnings method, depending on the intangible asset being valued. The method of amortization of

identifiable finite-lived intangible assets is based on the expected pattern in which the estimated economic benefits of the respective assets are consumed or otherwise used up. Customer relationships and acquired technology are being amortized on an accelerated basis. Marketing assets and non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis.
We determined that the impact of this acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements; therefore, revenue and earnings since the acquisition date and pro forma information are not required or presented.

5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflectreflects the assumed exercise, settlement and vesting of all dilutive securities using the “treasury stock method” except when the effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

6.5. Fair Value Measurements
We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

Our derivative instruments within the scope of ASCAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging, are required to be recorded at fair value. Our derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value include interest rate swaps as well asand foreign currency forward and option contracts. See Note 8 to these unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about our derivative instruments.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps wasand foreign currency forward contracts are based on model-driven valuations using LIBORSecured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") rates and foreign currency forward rates, respectively, which are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Accordingly, our interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Our foreign currency forwardContingent consideration obligations arise from business acquisitions. The fair values are based on discounted cash flow analyses reflecting a probability-weighted assessment approach derived from the likelihood of possible achievement of specified performance measures or events and option contracts are valued using standard calculations/models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters including, foreign currency exchange rates, volatilities,captures the contractual nature of the contingencies, commercial risk, and interest rates. Therefore,the time value of money. As the fair value measurements for our foreign currency forward and option contractscontingent consideration obligations contain significant unobservable inputs, they are classified within Level 23 of the fair value hierarchy.
We believe the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due to customers, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and due to customers approximate their fair values at September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2016,2023, due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments.
We believe the carrying amount of our debt approximates its fair value at September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2016,2023, as the debt bears interest rates that approximate market value. As LIBORSOFR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals, our debt under the 2020 Credit Facility (as defined below) is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our fixed rate debt does not exceed the carrying amount.
We did not transfer any assets or liabilities among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, we did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Non-recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and goodwill, whichoperating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets. These assets are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed or at lease commencement, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for long-lived assets, intangible assets acquired and operating lease ROU assets, are based on Level 3 unobservable inputs. In the event of an impairment, we determine the fair value of thethese assets other than goodwill and intangible assets using a discounted cash flow approach, which contains significant unobservable inputs and, therefore, is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate. For goodwill impairment testing, we estimate fair value using market-based methods including the use of market capitalization and consideration of a control premium.
There were no significant non-recurring fair value adjustments to our long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and goodwilloperating lease ROU assets during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017, except for an insignificant business combination accounting adjustment to the initial fair value estimates of the Attentive.ly assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date from updated information obtained during the measurement period. See Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements for additional details. The measurement period of a business combination may be up to one year from the acquisition date. We record any measurement period adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.March 31, 2024.

Financing for AcademicWorks acquisition
As discussed in Note 3 to these consolidated financial statements, on April 3, 2017 we acquired AcademicWorks for $52.1 million in cash, net of closing adjustments. We financed the acquisition through a draw down of a revolving credit loan under the 2014 Credit Facility (defined below).
2017 refinancing
We were previously party to a $325.0 million five-year2020 credit facility entered into during February 2014. The credit facility included: a dollar and a designated currency revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans (the “2014 Revolving Facility”) and a term loan facility (the “2014 Term Loan”), together, (the “2014 Credit Facility”).
In June 2017,October 2020, we entered into a five-year $700.0$900.0 million senior credit facility (the “2017"2020 Credit Facility”Facility"). The 2017 Credit Facility includes a $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2017 Revolving Facility”) and a $300.0 million term loan facility (the “2017 Term Loan”). Upon closing we drew $300.0 million on a term loan and $110.0 million in revolving credit loans, which was used to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2014 Credit Facility, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2017 Credit Facility, and for other general corporate purposes.
Certain lenders of the 2014 Term Loan participated in the 2017 Term Loan and the change in the present value of our future cash flows to these lenders under the 2014 Term Loan and under the 2017 Term Loan was less than 10%. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt modification. Certain lenders of the 2014 Term Loan did not participate in the 2017 Term Loan. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt extinguishment. Certain lenders of the 2014 Revolving Facility participated in the 2017 Revolving Facility and provided increased borrowing capacities. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt modification. Certain lenders of the 2014 Revolving Facility did not participate in the 2017 Revolving Facility. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt extinguishment.
We recorded an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment related to the write-off of debt discount and deferred financing costs for the portions of the 2014 Credit Facility considered to be extinguished. This loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within other income (expense), net.
In connection with our entry into the 2017 Credit Facility, we paid $3.1 million in financing costs, of which $1.0 million was capitalized in other assets and, together with a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs from the 2014 Credit Facility and prior facilities, are being amortized into interest expense ratably over the term of the new facility. As of September 30, 2017, deferred financing costs totaling $1.3 million were included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. As of DecemberAt March 31, 2016, deferred financing costs included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets were insignificant. We recorded aggregate financing costs of $1.8 million as a direct deduction from the carrying

amount of our debt liability, which related to debt discount (fees paid to lenders) and debt issuance costs for the 2017 Term Loan.
Summary of the 2017 Credit Facility

The 2017 Revolving Facility includes (i) a $50.0 million sublimit available for the issuance of standby letters of credit, (ii) a $50.0 million sublimit available for swingline loans, and (iii) a $100.0 million sublimit available for multicurrency borrowings.
The 2017 Credit Facility is secured by the stock and limited liability company interests of certain of our subsidiaries and any of our material domestic subsidiaries.
Amounts borrowed under the dollar tranche revolving credit loans and term loan under the 2017 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate (which varies depending on the currency in which the loan is denominated) plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), in addition to a margin of 0.00% to 0.75%, or (b) Eurocurrency Rate plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.75%.
We also pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2017 Revolving Facility from 0.15% to 0.25% per annum, depending on our net leverage ratio. At September 30, 2017, the commitment fee was 0.20%.
The term loan under the 2017 Credit Facility requires periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loan and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the 2017 Credit Facility in June 2022. We evaluate the classification of our debt as current or non-current based on the required annual maturities of the 2017 Credit Facility.
The 2017 Credit Facility includes financial covenants related to the net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as well as restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. At September 30, 2017,2024, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the 20172020 Credit Facility.

Undesignated contracts
In June 2017, we entered into a foreign currency option contract to hedge our exposure to currency fluctuations in connection with our acquisitioncontracts. As of JustGiving becauseMarch 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the purchase price was denominated in British Pounds. Theaggregate notional value of the instrument was £100.0 million with an effective date beginning in June 2017 and maturing in September 2017. We settled the foreign currency option contract in September 2017. We did not designate the foreign currency option contract as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes since it involved a business combination. As such, changes in the fair value of this derivative are recognized currently in earnings. The insignificant premium paid for this option and the $1.0 million in proceeds from the settlement are shown within cash flows from investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
As the closing date of our acquisition of JustGiving extended beyond the settlement datevalues of the foreign currency option contract, we entered into a foreign currency forward contract in September 2017 with settlement in October 2017. The notionalcontracts designated as net investment hedges to reduce the volatility of the U.S. dollar value of the instrumenta portion of our GBP-denominated investments was £103.5 million.

Our policy requires that derivatives used for hedging purposes be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains or losses from the change in fair value measurement of our derivative instruments each reporting period and the related income tax expense or benefit. ChangesExcluding net investment hedges, changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments and the related income tax expense or benefit are reflected as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the actual hedged expense is incurred or until the hedge is terminated at which point the unrealized gain (loss) isand related tax effects are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to current earnings. For net investment hedges, changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments and the related income tax expense or benefit are reflected as adjustments to translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and recognized in earnings only when the hedged GBP investment is liquidated. The estimated accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is insignificant.$14.7 million.

We make a provision for a loss contingency when it is both probable that a material liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Recorded expenses have consisted primarily of payments to third-party service providers and consultants, including legal fees, settlement of the previously disclosed SEC and multi-state Attorneys General investigations (discussed below), settlements of customer claims and accruals for certain loss contingencies. Not included in the expenses discussed above were costs associated with enhancements to our cybersecurity program. We present expenses and insurance recoveries related to the Security Incident in general and administrative expense on our unaudited, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and as operating activities on our unaudited, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Total costs related to the Security Incident exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage during the first quarter of 2022. We expect to continue to experience significant expenses related to our response to the Security Incident, resolution of legal proceedings, claims and investigations, including those discussed below, and our efforts to further enhance our cybersecurity measures. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred net pre-tax expenses of $10.3 million related to the Security Incident, which included $3.3 million for ongoing legal fees and additional accruals for loss contingencies of $7.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had net cash outlays of $2.0 million related to the Security Incident for ongoing legal fees. In line with our policy, legal fees are expensed as incurred. For full year 2024, we currently expect pre-tax expenses of approximately $5.0 million to $10.0 million and cash outlays of approximately $8.0 million to $13.0 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. Not included in these ranges are our previous settlements or current accruals for loss contingencies related to the matters discussed below.
As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded approximately $8.5 million in aggregate liabilities for loss contingencies based primarily on recent negotiations with certain customers and governmental agencies related to the Security Incident that we believed we could reasonably estimate in accordance with our loss contingency procedures described above. Our liabilities for loss contingencies are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our unaudited, condensed consolidated balance sheets. It is reasonably possible that our estimated actual losses may change in the near term for those matters and be materially in excess of the amounts accrued, but we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible additional loss.
There are other Security Incident-related matters, including customer claims, customer constituent class actions and governmental investigations, for which we have not recorded a liability for a loss contingency as of March 31, 2024 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss. Each of these matters could, separately or in the aggregate, result in an adverse judgment, settlement, fine, penalty or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict, but could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Customer claims.To date, we have received approximately 260 specific requests from customers for reimbursement of expenses incurred by them related to the Security Incident, approximately 214 (or 82%) of which have been fully resolved and closed and approximately 39 (or 15%) are inactive and are considered by us to have been abandoned by the customers. We have also received approximately 400 reservations of the right to seek expense recovery in the future from customers or their attorneys in the U.S., U.K. and Canada related to the Security Incident, none of which resulted in claims submitted to us and are considered by us to have been abandoned by the customers. We have also received notices of proposed claims on behalf of a number of U.K. data subjects, which we are reviewing. In addition, insurance companies representing various customers’ interests through subrogation claims have contacted us, and certain insurance companies have filed subrogation claims in court, of which 3 cases remain active and unresolved.

Customer constituent class actions. Presently, we are a defendant in putative consumer class action cases in U.S. federal courts (most of which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court) and in Canadian courts alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who purport to represent various classes of individual constituents of our customers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees and other related relief.
Lawsuits that are putative class actions require a plaintiff to satisfy a number of procedural requirements before proceeding to trial. These requirements include, among others, demonstration to a court that the law proscribes in some manner our activities, the making of factual allegations sufficient to suggest that our activities exceeded the limits of the law and a determination by the court—known as class certification—that the law permits a group of individuals to pursue the case together as a class. If these procedural requirements are not met, the lawsuit cannot proceed as a class action and the plaintiff may lose the financial incentive to proceed with the case. We are currently engaged in court proceedings to determine whether this will proceed as a class action. Frequently, a court’s determination as to these procedural requirements is subject to appeal to a higher court. As a result of these uncertainties, we may be unable to determine the probability of loss until, or after, a court has finally determined that a plaintiff has satisfied the applicable class action procedural requirements.
Furthermore, for putative class actions, it is often not possible to reasonably estimate the possible loss or a range of loss amounts, even where we have determined that a loss is reasonably possible. Generally, class actions involve a large number of people and raise complex legal and factual issues that result in uncertainty as to their outcome and, ultimately, making it difficult for us to estimate the amount of damages that a plaintiff might successfully prove. This analysis is further complicated by the fact that the plaintiffs lack contractual privity with us.
Governmental investigations. We have received a Civil Investigative Demand from the office of the California Attorney General relating to the Security Incident and are in discussions with the Attorney General about potential resolution of issues arising from this investigation. Although we are hopeful that we can resolve this matter on acceptable terms, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us and the state of California.
We also are subject to the following pending governmental actions:
an investigation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), as further described below; and
an investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
We also responded to inquiries from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in September 2020 and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada in October 2020.
As previously disclosed, on February 1, 2024, the FTC announced its approval of an Agreement Containing Consent Order (the “Proposed Order”) evidencing itssettlement with the Company in connection with the Security Incident. Pursuant to its rules, the FTC placed the Proposed Order and related draft complaint on the public record for a period of 30 days for the receipt of public comments after which the FTC will consider any comments received from interested persons prior to determining whether and in what form to finalize the Proposed Order. The 30-day comment period expired on March 14, 2024. As part of the FTC’s proposed order, the Company has not been fined and is not otherwise required to make any payment. Furthermore, the Company has agreed to the FTC’s proposed order without admitting or denying any of the FTC’s allegations, except as expressly stated otherwise in the Proposed Order. If finalized, the settlement described in the Proposed Order will fully resolve the FTC investigation. Although we believe the Proposed Order will be finalized in substantially its current form, there can be no assurances as to whether that will occur or its timing. For more information, see the form of Proposed Order that was furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 2, 2024 and in Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements (continued)contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024.

As previously disclosed, on October 5, 2023, we entered into separate, substantially similar Administrative Orders with each of 49 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia relating to the Security Incident which fully resolved the previously disclosed multi-state Civil Investigative Demand and the separate Civil Investigative Demand from the Office of the Indiana Attorney General relating to the Security Incident.

On March 9, 2023, we reached a settlement with the SEC in connection with the Security Incident that fully resolved the previously disclosed SEC investigation of the Security Incident.
On September 28, 2021, the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom under the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018 notified us that it has closed its investigation of the Security Incident.
On September 24, 2021, we received notice from the Spanish Data Protection Authority that it has concluded its investigation of the Security Incident.
On January 15, 2021, we were notified by the Data Protection Commission of Ireland that it has concluded its investigation of the Security Incident.
For more information about these completed government investigations and related actions, see Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024.
We continue to cooperate with all ongoing investigations, which include various requests for documents, policies, narratives and communications, as well as requests to interview or depose various Company-related personnel. As noted above, each of these separate governmental investigations could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict, but could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Stock repurchase program
Under our stock repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws both on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as comparedamended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Under the 2024 Credit Agreement (as defined below), we have restrictions on our ability to a $4.3 million discrete tax benefit for the same period in 2016. The increase in the discrete tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, was attributable to an increase in the market price forrepurchase shares of our common stock, as reportedwhich are summarized on page 40 in this report.
We account for purchases of treasury stock under the cost method. On January 17, 2024, our Board of Directors reauthorized, expanded and replenished our stock repurchase program by expanding the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ"), as well astotal capacity under the program from $250.0 million to $500.0 million available for repurchases.
In March 2024, we entered into an increase in the numberissuer forward repurchase transaction with a large financial institution to repurchase an aggregate $200 million of stock awards that vested and were exercised. Mostshares of our equity awards are granted duringcommon stock (the "ASR Transaction"). Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Transaction, we provided the financial institution with a prepayment of $200 million and received an initial delivery of 2.1 million shares of our first quarter and vest in subsequent years duringcommon stock, representing approximately 70% of the same quarter.

However, thereability to settle in shares, the $52.2 million prepaid forward contract was no change inclassified as a reduction to additional paid-in capital within our unaudited, condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. We funded the determination of our reportable segments or our reporting units at that time. As of September 30, 2017, our reportable segments were the General Markets Group ("GMG"), the Emerging Markets Group ("EMG"), and the International Markets Group ("IMG"). The following is a description of each reportable segment:
The GMG is generally focused on sales to all emerging and mid-sized prospects and customers in North America;
The EMG is generally focused on sales to all large and/or strategic prospects and customers in North America; and
The IMG is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all prospects and customers outside of North America.
Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer ("CEO"). Currently, our CEO reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for the purposes of making certain operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CEO uses internal financial reports that provide segment revenues and operating income, as adjusted, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, depreciation expense, research and development expense and certain corporate sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses. Segment operating income, as adjusted, includes direct, controllable costs related to the sale of our solutions and services, and our customer success program.

In light of the ongoing and anticipated increasing centralization of our operations, including without limitation marketing, customer support, customer success and professional services, we are evaluating whether changes may need to be made to our internal reporting structure to better support and assess the operations of our business going forward. If changes are made, we will assess the resulting effect on our reportable segments, operating segments and reporting units, if any.
15. Subsequent Events
JustGiving acquisition
On October 2, 2017, Blackbaud Global Limited (“Blackbaud Global”), a United Kingdom limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, acquired the entire issued share capital, including all voting equity interests, of Giving Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company doing business as “JustGiving” for an aggregate purchase price of £95.0 million, or approximately $127.4 million, in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the stock purchase agreement. JustGiving is a market leading social platform for giving, and the acquisition is expected to enhance our capabilities to serve both individual donors and nonprofits, expanding the peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities we offer today. As a result of the acquisition, JustGiving has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. We will include the operating results of JustGiving as well as the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred acquisition-related expenses associatedASR Transaction prepayment with the acquisition of JustGiving of $0.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which are recorded in general and administrative expense. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for this acquisition, including the measurement of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill, is not complete and is pending detailed analyses of the facts and circumstances that existed as of the October 2, 2017 acquisition date.
On October 2, 2017, we borrowed $138.7 millionborrowings pursuant to a revolving credit loan under the 20172020 Credit FacilityFacility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased an aggregate of 2,954,211 shares for $262.6 million, including the initial delivery of shares repurchased pursuant to finance the acquisition of JustGiving. Following the borrowing, approximately $178.6 million was outstandingASR Transaction. The remaining amount available to purchase stock under the revolving credit loansapproved stock repurchase program was $259.7 million as of March 31, 2024.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
As of March 31, 2024, approximately $1.2 billion of revenue under contract is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 50% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with approximately $169.8 million of available borrowing capacity under the 2017 Credit Facility.

We applied the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and have excluded the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less (one-time services); and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed (transactional revenue).
Contract balances
Our contract assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were insignificant. Our closing balances of deferred revenue were as follows:

Total deferred revenue$367,187 $394,927 
The decrease in deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a seasonal decrease in customer contract renewals. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals at or near the beginning of our third quarter. Generally, our lowest balance of deferred revenue during the year is at the end of our first quarter. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was approximately $173 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was insignificant.
Disaggregation of revenue

13. Subsequent Events
April 2024 credit agreement refinancing
On April 30, 2024, we entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"), by and among us, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent"). The Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2020 (as previously amended, the "Existing Credit Agreement" and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment, the “2024 Credit Agreement”), by and among us, the lenders from time-to-time party thereto and the Agent.
The Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) refinance the existing $1.1 billion credit facilities under the Existing Credit Agreement to provide for new credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion consisting of (i) a $700.0 million revolving credit facility with a $50.0 million letter of credit subfacility, a $50.0 million swingline subfacility and a $150.0 million sublimit available for multicurrency borrowings (the “2024 Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a $800.0 million term loan facility (the “2024 Term Facility” and together with the 2024 Revolving Facility, the “2024 Credit Facilities”), (b) extend the maturity date to April 30, 2029, (c) modify the definition of Applicable Margin (as defined below) and (iv) modify certain negative and financial covenants to provide additional operational flexibility.
Under the 2024 Credit Facilities, dollar tranche revolving loans and term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company: (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., and (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), plus an applicable margin as specified in the 2024 Credit Agreement (the “Applicable Margin”); (b) Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin; or (c) the Daily SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted quarterly, varies based on our net leverage ratio and varies based on whether the loan is a Base Rate Loan (0.375% to 1.500%), or a Term SOFR Loan/Daily SOFR Loan (1.375% to 2.500%). The 2024 Credit Agreement also provides for a commitment fee of between 0.250% and 0.500% of the unused commitment under the 2024 Revolving Facility depending on our net leverage ratio.
Under the 2024 Credit Facilities, designated currency tranche revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company: (a) the Designated Currency Daily Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin; or (b) the Designated Currency Term Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted quarterly and varies based on our net leverage ratio for both Designated Currency Daily Rate Loans and Designated Currency Term Rate Loans (1.375% to 2.500%).
We may prepay the 2024 Credit Agreement in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to certain types of loans.

DuringTo maintain our market leadership position, we are accelerating the third quarterpace of 2017, we continued to execute on our four-point growth strategy targeted to drive an extended period of quality enhancement, solution and service innovation and increasing operating efficiency and financial performance:
1.Deliver Integrated and Open Solutions in the Cloud
We continue to transition our business to predominantly serve customers through a subscription-based cloudnew feature delivery model, enabling lower cost of entry, greater scalability and lower total cost of ownership to our customers. Our focus has been on two areas, generative artificial intelligence (AI) and enhancements that continue to improve the connectivity of our suite of solutions. These enhancements are aimed at improving fundraising outcomes while reducing the administrative burden of our end users. Some examples include:
We have released a number of AI capabilities over the past few quarters, including new generative AI functionality for our JustGiving platform. During the first quarter of 2024, we released generative AI capabilities for Raiser’s Edge NXT®, and we expect that Blackbaud Co-pilot will be available to our Raiser's Edge NXT customers soon. Using Blackbaud Co-pilot, users can ask ad hoc questions such as “How can I improve my average donation size?” and the tool will provide intelligent responses as well as recommended actions intended to drive that outcome.
During the first quarter of 2024, our Online Giving and Prospect Insights capabilities were natively integrated into Raiser's Edge NXT. With these integrations, fundraising administrators can now drive a viral giving campaign, keep records of each donor interaction, identify new donation opportunities, and provide personalized messaging, all in one integrated experience.
Last quarter, we announced our new optimized donation forms were coming to Raiser's Edge NXT. We now have a few hundred customers up and running with nearly a thousand more experimenting. We expect these forms to drive higher revenue for our customers and for Blackbaud.
We include these exciting new features in our products at no additional cost, to increase the value our customers receive from their existing subscription. We are delivering more innovation, evolving our products and ensuring our customers receive more value from our solutions.

Modernized Approach to Pricing and Multi-Year Contracts
In the summer of 2022, we put in place an updated renewal pricing policy primarily for our social sector customers that directly reflects the value we provide to them, is in-line with the broader market and reflects the inflationary pressures that all businesses are facing. This program is designed to deliver sustained revenue growth beyond the initial three-year renewal cycle and will provide us with improved revenue visibility. As previously disclosed, this new approach has three main components:
1.offering 3-year contract renewal terms as our standard, which the vast majority of customers are adopting;
2.embedded annual price increases within the 3-year renewal term, which we have not had previously and are beginning to take effect; and
3.a larger first year price increase to bring our pricing in-line with the broader market.
The first two components, as well as a portion of the third, will continue on beyond the initial renewal cycle, creating what we believe will be a sustainable source of revenue growth. Approximately one half of our 2024 total company revenue growth is expected to be impacted by this modernized contract and pricing initiative, and by the end of 2024, we anticipate we will renew approximately two-thirds of that base into the new model. During the first and second quarters of 2024, we expect a larger contribution to our total revenue growth to come from this initiative.
Financial Summary

Total revenue ($M)Income (Loss) from operations ($M)
YoY Growth (%)YoY Growth (%)
78115
Total revenue increased by $17.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2023, driven largely by the following:
+
Growth in recurring revenue primarily related to:
an increase in contractual recurring revenue of $13.3 million related to the impact of our modernized contract initiative and pricing within the Social Sector as well as the performance of our cloud solutions; partially offset by a decrease in revenue from EVERFI as discussed below
an increase in transactional recurring revenue of $5.5 million primarily due to positive results related to pricing initiatives we implemented at the beginning of 2023 and, to a lesser extent, increases in volume for our Blackbaud Tuition Management and JustGiving solutions
-
Decrease in one-time service and other revenue primarily related to:
decrease in one-time consulting revenue due primarily due to less revenue from implementation and customization services, in line with our multi-year strategic shift from a license-based and one-time services business model to a cloud subscription business model. Our cloud subscription offerings generally require less implementation and customization services

As previously disclosed and discussed above, we have a number of multi-year pricing initiatives underway, some to bring our pricing in line with the market while others are model changes that are expected to drive greater revenue for both us and our customers. We expect that the decline in our non-strategic one-time services and other revenue will slow in 2024 compared to the previous two years.
Our Social Sector revenue (which represents approximately 88% of our total revenue) increased $19.5 million, or 8.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2023, driven primarily by the increases in contractual recurring revenue and transactional recurring revenue discussed above.
Our Corporate Sector revenue (which represents approximately 12% of our total revenue) decreased $2.1 million, or 5.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2023, driven primarily by EVERFI. EVERFI has faced macroeconomic challenges in the form of tightening corporate CSR budgets, especially in the financial services market where EVERFI has a significant position. While we expect our Corporate Sector revenue to decline for the full year 2024, we are working on plans to ensure it contributes to shareholder value.
Income from operations increased by $20.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2023, driven largely by the following:
+Increase in total revenue, as described above
+Decrease in Security Incident-related expenses of $7.5 million. See "Security Incident update" below.
+Decrease in employee severance costs of $4.3 million primarily due to our targeted workforce reductions during the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023
+Decrease in commission expense of $3.4 million due to fewer sales headcount and a prospective increase in the period of benefit over which we amortized costs of obtaining contracts with customers from 5 to 6 years beginning in the year ending December 31, 2024
+Decrease in corporate costs of $2.2 million primarily related to the release of certain accrued tax liabilities due to favorable sales tax rulings and a decrease in bad debt expense
-Increase in stock-based compensation expense of $3.6 million primarily due to overall Company performance against targets for certain performance-based equity awards
-Increase in advertising costs of $2.0 million primarily due to timing differences compared to 2023
-Decrease of $2.0 million due to an increase in amortization of capitalized software and content development costs and a decrease in software and content development costs that were required to be capitalized under the internal-use software guidance
-Increase in amortization of intangible assets from business combinations of $1.7 million due to our acquisition of EVERFI
-Increase in acquisition and disposition-related costs of $1.6 million primarily related to the disposition of EVERFI Limited; see Note 3 of our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for more information
-Increase in transaction-based costs of $1.4 million related to the increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments and, to a lesser extent, increases in vendor rates
-Increase in hosting and data center costs of $1.3 million as we continue to migrate our cloud infrastructure to leading public cloud service providers and make investments in security; currently, we expect our cloud infrastructure migration efforts and increased level of cybersecurity investments to continue for the foreseeable future
We are continuing to make critical investments in the business in areas such as innovation, cybersecurity, and our continued shift of cloud infrastructure to leading public cloud service providers. Our profitability during the first quarter of 2024 reflects some of these incremental investments.
We continuously seek opportunities to optimize our portfolio of solutions to focus time and integrate powerful capabilities — such as built in data, analytics, artificial intelligence, payment processing and tailored user-specific experiences — to bring even greater value and performance to our customers.
The Blackbaud SKY™ cloud platform is allowing us to innovate at a more rapid pace, including delivering enhanced integrated analytics capabilitiesresources on innovation that surface directly in our customers’ software through SKY AI and SKY Analytics—components of our broader Intelligence for Good approach that combines AI, analytics, one ofwill have the industry’s most robust data sets and expertise to drive powerful insightsgreatest impact for our customers.

2.Drive Sales Effectiveness
We continue to invest in a world-class sales organization to accelerate revenue growth and penetrate our large and expanding total addressable market ("TAM"), which is currently estimated to be over $7.0 billion. During the first three quarters of 2017, we created a new Senior Vice President of Global Sales position to lead this effort across the organization and we have focused on enabling our expanding sales teams with training, processes, and tools to improve effectiveness and drive revenue growth. The further development of our customer success program is allowing our sales teams to focus on closing sales rather than account management. The move to selling pre-integrated solution suites instead of individual point-solutions continues to be successful, and we have furthered our go-to-market shift with a concentrated sales focus by sub-vertical, including K-12 private schools, foundations, corporations, arts & cultural, higher education and healthcare.
3.Expand TAM into Near Adjacencies through Acquisitions and Product Investments
We continue to evaluate compelling opportunities to acquire companies, technologies and/or services. We are guided by our acquisition criteria for considering attractive assets that expand our TAM, provide entry into new and near adjacencies, accelerate our shift to the cloud, accelerate revenue growth, are accretive to margins and present synergistic opportunities.
During the third quarter, we launched Blackbaud Labs as a means to incubate new ideas and foster our strong culture of innovation and creativity within Blackbaud, with the sole focus of bringing new capabilities to market organically. We previously announced the promotion of our new Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Business Development, who led the effort for many of our acquisitions, including AcademicWorks in April 2017 and, most recently, JustGiving.
AcademicWorks is the market leader in scholarship management for higher education and K-12 institutions, foundations, and grant-making institutions. Their cloud platform enables students to apply for all awards at an institution using one intuitive and streamlined process, while offering schools and awarding institutions a common platform for improved awarding, reporting, compliance, communication and stewardship of those awards. Additional details regarding our acquisition of AcademicWorks are provided in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in this report. During the third quarter, we focused on integrating AcademicWorks' solutions and operations as well as cross-selling.
In October 2017, we closed our acquisition of the United Kingdom-based online fundraising services provider JustGiving, whose online social giving platform has played a powerful role in the growth of peer-to-peer fundraising. The acquisition enhances our capability to serve both individual donors and nonprofits, expanding the peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities we currently offer today through TeamRaiser and everydayhero, which are used by leading nonprofit organizations to connect their causes to the individuals who support them. JustGiving also adds personal crowdfunding to our portfolio, which is an offering we did not previously provide and a fast growing segment of charitable giving. Additional details regarding our acquisition of JustGiving are provided below and in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in this report.
Both AcademicWorks and JustGiving meet the acquisition criteria discussed above. We remain active in the evaluation of acquisition opportunities to broaden our portfolio, provide better integrated solutions for our customers, differentiate ourselves from the competition and improve our financial performance.
4.Improve Operating Efficiency
We are also focused on operational efficiency to deliver improved profitability. Our organizational model has evolved in recent years allowing us to gain efficiency and consistency in how we execute. We have centralized our operations, including marketing, product management, finance, customer support, customer success and professional services. In 2014, we set a long-term aspirational goal to improve operating margins annually, and increase our non-GAAP operating margins by at least 300 basis points on a constant currency basis from our 2014 baseline of 17.5%, by the end of 2017. Since setting that goal, we have improved margins annually, inclusive of heightened investments to drive future growth and in the midst of migrating our customer base to the cloud. We expect to deliver on our goal, and we see future opportunity ahead to further improve profitability through the infrastructure investments we have made in our back office for scale, focus on operational excellence, and achieving our productivity initiatives.
We have included the results of operations of AcademicWorks in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. We determined that the AcademicWorks acquisition was not a material business combination; therefore, revenue and earnings since the acquisition date are not required or presented.

The increases in total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily driven by growth in subscriptions revenue as our business model continues to shift towards providing predominantly cloud-basedOur recurring subscription solutions. Subscriptions revenue also grew as a result of increases in the number of customers and the volume of transactions for which we process payments. Services and other revenue as well as maintenance revenue declined during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from our continued shift in focus towards selling cloud-based subscription solutions. In general, our NXT and other cloud-based solutions require less implementation services, which we expect to continue to negatively impact services and other revenue over time. In addition, we have also used promotions and discounts for our consulting services as incentives to accelerate the migration of our existing customer base from on-premises solutions toward our cloud-based subscriptions. In the near-term, the transition to subscription-based solutions also negatively impacts total revenue growth, as time-based revenue from subscription arrangements is deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription period, typically three years at contract inception, whereas on-premises license revenue from arrangements that include perpetual licenses is recognized up-front.

Income from operations increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016. The positive impact of growth in total revenue driven by subscriptions as discussed above was partially offset primarily by investments we are making in our sales organization and customer success program and, to a lesser extent, increases in stock based compensation expense of $2.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, rent expense of $0.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and net increases in acquisition-related expenses and integration costs of $0.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively. An increase of $2.5 million in employee severance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also negatively impacted income from operations. The increase in rent expense was primarily driven by the end in the fourth quarter of 2016 of the South Carolina state incentive payments we received as a result of locating our headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina. These amounts were recorded as a reduction of rent expense upon receipt. Also contributing to the increase in rent expense were new operating leases for equipment that we have historically purchased.
Customer retention
Subscription contracts are typically for a term of three years at contract inception with oneinception. A key factor to three year renewals thereafter. Over time, we anticipate a decrease in maintenance contract renewals as we transition our solution portfoliooverall success is the renewal and maintenance customers from a perpetual license-based model to a cloud-based subscription delivery model. We also anticipate an increase in subscription contract renewals as we continue focusing on innovation, quality and the integrationexpansion of our existing subscription solutions which we believe will provide value-adding capabilities to better addressagreements with our customers' needs. Due primarily to these factors, we believe a recurring revenue customercustomers.

We are continually investing in innovation, which we believe will increase gross dollar retention over the long-term.

Balance sheet and cash flow
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $17.1$26.4 million. Under the 2020 Credit Facility, the carrying amount of our debt was $981.7 million and outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility were $340.2 million. our net leverage ratio was 2.72 to 1.00.
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, we generated $123.4$64.6 million in cash flow from operations, reduced ourhad a net increase in borrowings by $5.8of $260.5 million, inclusive of the incremental borrowings needed to finance the acquisition of AcademicWorks, returned $17.3$262.6 million to stockholders by way of dividendsshare repurchases and had aggregate cash outlays of $29.0$13.3 million for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software and content development costs.
Recent development - JustGiving acquisition
On October 2, 2017, we acquired the entire issued share capital of JustGiving for an aggregate purchase price of £95.0 million, or approximately $127.4 million,Security Incident update
As discussed in cash, subjectNote 9 to certain adjustments set forth in the stock purchase agreement. We financed the acquisition through borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility. As a result of the acquisition, JustGiving has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. We will include the operating results of JustGiving as well as the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Duein this report, total costs related to the timingSecurity Incident exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage in the first quarter of 2022. Accordingly, the Security Incident has negatively impacted, and we expect it to continue for the foreseeable future to negatively impact, our GAAP profitability and GAAP cash flow (see discussion regarding non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow on page 37). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred net pre-tax expenses of $10.3 million related to the Security Incident, which included $3.3 million for ongoing legal fees and additional accruals for loss contingencies of $7.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had cash outlays of $2.0 million related to the Security Incident for ongoing legal fees. In line with our policy, legal fees are expensed as incurred. For full year 2024, we currently expect pre-tax expenses of approximately $5.0 million to $10.0 million and cash outlays of approximately $8.0 million to $13.0 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. Not included in these ranges are our previous settlements or current accruals for loss contingencies related to the matters discussed below.
As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded approximately $8.5 million in aggregate liabilities for loss contingencies based primarily on recent negotiations with certain customers and governmental agencies related to the Security Incident that we believed we could reasonably estimate in accordance with our loss contingency procedures described above and as more fully described in Note 9. It is reasonably possible that our estimated actual losses may change in the near term for those matters and be materially in excess of the transaction,amounts accrued, but we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the initial accounting for this acquisition,possible additional loss.
There are other Security Incident-related matters, including the measurement of assets acquired, liabilities assumedcustomer claims, customer constituent class actions and goodwill, is not complete and is pending detailed analyses of the facts and circumstances that existed as of the October 2, 2017 acquisition date.

We are increasingly selling our Blackbaud CRM solution as a subscription offering, which has resulted in less license fees revenue during the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016. We expect that the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which, in general, require less implementation services will continue to negatively impact both services and other revenue and maintenance revenue over time.

The decreases in IMG revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily related to reductions in services and other revenue and maintenance revenue, partially offset by increases in subscriptions revenue. The increases in IMG subscriptions revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were primarily due to increased demand for our cloud-based solutions and, to a much lesser extent, increases in the volume of transactions for which we process payments. The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates had an insignificant impact on IMG revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and negatively impacted IMG revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 by approximately $0.8 million. Further explanation of this impact is included below under the caption "Foreign Currency Exchange Rates". We expect that the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which, in general, require less implementation services will continue to negatively impact both services and other revenue and maintenance revenue over time.

Table of our cloud-based solutions and hosting services as we meet the demand of our customers that increasingly prefer cloud-based subscription offerings, including existing customers that are migrating from on-premises solutions to our cloud-based solutions. In addition, we have experienced growth in our payment processing services from the continued shift to online giving, further integration of these services to our existing solution portfolio and the sale of these services to new and existing customers. Recurring subscriptions contracts are typically for a term of three years at contract inception with one to three year renewals thereafter. We intend to continue focusing on innovation, quality and integration of our subscription solutions, which we believe will drive subscriptions revenue growth.Contents

Cost of subscriptionsrecurring revenue is primarily comprised of compensation costs for customer support and production IT personnel, hosting and data center costs, third-party contractor expenses, third-party royalty and data expenses, hosting expenses, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangible assets from business combinations, amortization of software development costs, transaction-based costs related to payments services including remittances of amounts due to third-parties and other costs incurred in providing support and recurring services to our customers.

The increases in cost of subscriptions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily due to increases in transaction-based costs related to our payments services of $4.7Recurring revenue increased by $18.8 million, and $12.4 million, respectively and increases in the cost of third-party technology embedded in certain of our subscription solutions of $1.5 million and $4.8 million. Partially offsetting the increase in cost of subscriptions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was a decrease in third-party contractor expenses of $1.5 million.
The increases in subscriptions gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily the result of the positive economics of shifting customers to our next generation cloud-based solutions as growth in subscriptions revenue outpaced the growth in related costs. The results of AcademicWorks did not significantly impact our subscriptions gross margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Maintenance revenue is comprised of annual fees derived from maintenance contracts associated with new software licenses and annual renewals of existing maintenance contracts. These contracts provide customers with updates, enhancements and certain upgrades to our software solutions and online, telephone and email support. Maintenance contracts are typically renewed on an annual basis.
Cost of maintenance is primarily comprised of compensation costs for customer support personnel, third-party contractor expenses, third-party royalty costs, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangible assets from business combinations, amortization of software development costs and other costs incurred in providing support and services to our customers.
The decreases in maintenance revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily comprised of (i) reductions in maintenance from contracts that were migrated to a cloud-based subscription or not renewed and reductions in contracts with existing customers of $9.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively; partially offset by (ii) incremental maintenance from new customers associated with new license contracts and increases in contracts with existing customers of $4.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively; and (iii) insignificant amounts of incremental maintenance from contractual inflationary rate adjustments.
Cost of maintenance7.4%, during the three months ended September 30, 2017 remained relatively unchangedMarch 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2016. 2023, driven primarily by the following:
+Increase in contractual recurring revenue of $13.3 million related to the impact of our modernized contract initiative and pricing within the Social Sector as well as the performance of our cloud solutions; partially offset by a decrease in revenue from EVERFI as discussed above
+Increase in transactional recurring revenue of $5.5 million primarily due to positive results related to pricing initiatives we implemented at the beginning of 2023 and, to a lesser extent, increases in volume for our Blackbaud Tuition Management and JustGiving solutions.
Cost of maintenancerecurring revenue increased by $4.7 million, or 4.1%, during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2016,2023, driven primarily as a result of an increase in compensation costs of $1.0 million, driven by a refinement in the method in which we allocate customer support costs between cost of maintenance and cost of subscriptions.following:
Maintenance
+Increase in amortization of intangible assets from business combinations of $1.6 million primarily due to our acquisition of EVERFI in December 2021
+Increase in transaction-based costs of $1.5 million related to the increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments and, to a lesser extent, increases in vendor rates

Services and other revenue includes consulting, implementation, training, analytic and installation services as well as revenue from the sale of our software sold under perpetual license arrangements, fees from user conferences and third-party software referral fees. Consulting, implementation and installation services involve converting data from a customer’s existing system, system configuration, process re-engineering and assistance in file set up. Analytic services are comprised of donor prospect research, sales of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling services. These analytic services involve the assessment of current and prospective donor information of the customer and are performed using our proprietary analytical tools. The end product is intended to enable organizations to more effectively target their fundraising activities.
Cost of one-time services and other is primarily comprised of compensation costs for professional services and onsite training personnel, third-party contractor expenses,other costs incurred in providing onsite customer training, third-party contractor expenses, data expense incurred to perform one-time analytic services, third-party software royalties, variable reseller commissions, costs of user conferences, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and amortization of intangible assets from business combinations.
ServicesOne-time services and other revenue decreased by $1.3 million, or 14.1%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, when compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016,2023, driven primarily due to decreases in consulting revenue and, to a lesser extent, declines in analytics revenue and license fees revenue. We expect thatby the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which, in general, requirefollowing:
-Decrease in one-time consulting revenue of $1.1 million primarily due to less sales of creative services and implementation and customization services. As discussed in Note 3 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, our sale of EVERFI Limited contributed to the decrease in creative services will continue to negatively impact services and other revenue over time. We have also used promotions and discounts for our consulting services as incentives to accelerate the migration of our existing customer base from on-premises solutions toward our cloud-based subscriptions. The maturation of our Blackbaud Enterprise CRM solution is lessening the extent of implementation services required for that solution. In addition, we are increasingly selling our Blackbaud CRM solution as a subscription offering, which has resulted in less license fees revenue. Also contributing to the decrease in one-time consulting revenue is an increase in utilization of third-party service delivery partners. For several years, we have been strategically shifting away from a one-time services business model towards sales of retained and managed services and also embedding services in our renewable cloud solution contracts. Retained and managed services contracts that we expect to have a term consistent with our cloud solution contracts, and embedded services are recorded as recurring revenue.
Cost of one-time services and other decreased by $1.6 million, or 18.5%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, when compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016,2023, driven primarily due to decreases in compensation costs of $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which is in line withby the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy as discussed above.following:

The decreases in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily due to increases in compensation costs of $3.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in sales, marketing and customer success expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was an increase in commission expense of $1.8 million. Compensation costs increased primarily due to incremental headcount associated with the increase in direct sales, marketing, and customer success efforts of our growing operations. The increase in commission expense was primarily driven by a refinement in the period over which we recognize deferred commission to expense.following:

As discussed above, the increases in the amounts capitalized were a result of incurring more qualifying costs associated with software and content development activities that are required to be capitalized under GAAP, such as those for our cloud solutions, as well as development costs associated with acquired companies. Qualifying capitalized development costs associated with our cloud solutions are subsequently amortized to cost of recurring revenue over the internal-use software guidance. related assets' estimated useful life, which generally range from three to seven years.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation costs for general corporate functions, including senior management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources and corporate development, Security Incident-related expenses (including legal fees, settlements and loss contingency accruals), third-party professional fees, insurance, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, acquisition-related expenses and other administrative expenses.
The increases in generalGeneral and administrative expense decreased by $5.1 million or 9.6%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, when compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016, were primarily due to increases2023. The decreases in rent expense of $0.7 milliondollars and $3.3 million, respectively, and net increases in acquisition-related expenses and integration costs of $0.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively. An increase of $2.5 million in employee severance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also drove up general and administrative expense. The increases in rent expense were primarily driven by the end in the fourth quarter of 2016 of the South Carolina state incentive payments we received as a result of locating our headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina. These amounts were recorded as a reduction of rent expense upon receipt. Also contributing to the increases in rent expense were new operating leases for equipment that we have historically purchased.
General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue remained relatively unchangedwere primarily driven by the following:
-
Decrease in Security Incident-related expenses of $7.5 million. See "Security Incident update" on page 27
-Decrease in corporate costs of $2.2 million primarily related to the release of certain accrued tax liabilities due to favorable sales tax rulings and a decrease in bad debt expense
-Decrease in employee severance costs of $0.8 million due to our prior period targeted workforce reductions discussed above
+Increase in compensation costs of $4.7 million primarily related to an increase in stock-based compensation due to overall Company performance against targets for certain performance-based equity awards

Interest expense in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, was relatively in line with the same period in 2023. We currently expect interest expense for the full year 2024 to be approximately $48 million to $52 million as we had incremental borrowings to fund our ASR Transaction (as defined on page 40). We also expect interest rates to remain higher throughout 2024 than we originally anticipated. Our interest expense in connection with the variable rate portion of our outstanding debt could increase in a rising interest rate environment.

To the extent that our customers are billed for our solutions and services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in deferred revenue. Our recurring revenue contracts are generally for a term of three years at contract inception, billed annually in advance, and non-cancelable. We generally invoice our subscription and maintenance customers with recurring revenue contracts in annual cycles 30 days prior to the end of the contract term. Deferredeach one-year period.
The decrease in deferred revenue from subscriptions increased during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in subscription sales, as well as a seasonal increasedecrease in subscription customer contract renewals.renewals. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals inat or near the beginning of our second quarter as compared tothird quarter. Generally, our fourth quarter. The increase in deferred revenue from services and other during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of an increase in training sales and related billings. A seasonal increase in advance registration billings associated with our bbcon user conference, which occurs each year in October, also contributed to the increase in deferred revenue from services and other. The decrease in deferred revenue attributable to maintenance during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the continuing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which do not require maintenance contracts.
We have acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, we recorded write-downslowest balance of deferred revenue from customer arrangements predatingduring the acquisition to fair value, which resultedyear is at the end of our first quarter.

The change in lower recorded deferred revenue as of the acquisition date than the actual amounts paid in advance for solutions and services under those customer arrangements. Therefore, our deferred revenue after an acquisition will not reflect the full amount of deferred revenue that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value.

Our effective income tax rate duringfor the three months ended September 30, 2017 remained relatively unchangedMarch 31, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in our effective income tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same period in 2016,2023 was primarily dueattributable to a $9.0 million discrete tax benefit to expense relatingfavorable impacts of benefits attributable to stock-based compensation items, as compared to a $4.3 million discreteand research and development tax benefit for the same period in 2016. The increase in the discrete tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, was attributable to an increase in the market price for shares of our common stock, as reported by NASDAQ, as well as an increase in the number of stock awards that vested and were exercised.

Non-GAAP financial measuresFinancial Measures
The operating results analyzed below are presented on a non-GAAP basis. We use non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per sharefinancial measures internally in analyzing our operational performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. While we believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies.
We have acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, we recorded write-downs of deferred revenue under arrangements predating the acquisition to fair value, which resulted in lower recognized revenue than the contributed purchase price until the related obligations to provide services under such arrangements are fulfilled. Therefore, our GAAP revenues after the acquisitions will not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. The non-GAAP measures described below reverse the acquisition-related deferred revenue write-downs so that the full amount of revenue booked by the acquired companies is included, which we believe provides a more accurate representation of a revenue run-rate in a given period and, therefore, will provide more meaningful comparative results in future periods.
The non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude the impact of certain transactions because we believe they are not directly related to our operating performance in any particular period, but are for our long-term benefit over multiple periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business.

(2)Includes Security Incident-related costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $10.3 million which includes approximately $7.0 million in recorded liabilities for loss contingencies and during the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $17.8 million which included approximately $10.2 millionin recorded liabilities for loss contingencies. Recorded expenses consisted primarily of payments to third-party service providers and consultants, including legal fees, as well as settlements of customer claims, negotiated settlements and accruals for certain loss contingencies. Not included in this adjustment were costs associated with enhancements to our cybersecurity program. For full year 2024, we currently expect pre-tax expenses of approximately $5 million to $10 million and cash outlays of approximately $8 million to $13 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. Not included in these ranges are our previous settlements or current accruals for loss contingencies related to the matters discussed below. In line with our policy, legal fees are expensed as incurred. As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded approximately $8.5 million in aggregate liabilities for loss contingencies based primarily on recent negotiations with certain customers and governmental agencies related to the Security Incident that we believe we can reasonably estimate. It is reasonably possible that our estimated or actual losses may change in the near term for those matters and be materially in excess of the amounts accrued, but we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible additional loss. There are other Security Incident-related matters, including customer claims, customer constituent class actions and governmental investigations, for which we have not recorded a liability for a loss contingency as of March 31, 2024 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss. Each of these matters could, separately or in the aggregate, result in an adverse judgment, settlement, fine, penalty or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict, but could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
(3)Beginning in 2024, we now apply a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24.5% when calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the tax impact related to non-GAAP adjustments is calculated under our historical non-GAAP effective tax rate of 20.0%.

The increases in non-GAAP income from operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily due to growth in subscriptions revenue, partially offset by investments we are making in our sales organization and customer success program and, to a lesser extent, increases in rent expense, which are discussed above.

In addition, each of these non-GAAP organic revenue growth measures excludes prior period revenue associated with divested businesses. The exclusion of the prior period revenue is to present the results of the divested businesses within the results of the combined company for the same period of time in both the prior and current periods. We believe this presentation provides a more comparable representation of our current business’ organic revenue growth and revenue run-rate.

Non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow
Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, including costs required to be capitalized for software and content development, and capital expenditures for property and equipment.
Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, including costs required to be capitalized for software and content development and capital expenditures for property and equipment, plus cash outflows related to the Security Incident.
We believe non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow provides useful measures of the Company's operating performance. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is not intended to represent and should not be viewed as the amount of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

Seasonality
Our revenues normally fluctuate as a result of certain seasonal variations in our business. Our transactionfirst quarter has historically been the seasonal low for bookings, with the second and fourth quarters historically being seasonally higher, and our bookings tend to be back-end loaded within individual quarters given our quarterly quota plans. Transactional revenue is non-contractual and less predictable given the susceptibility to certain drivers such as timing and number of events and marketing campaigns, as well as fluctuations in donation volumes and tuition payments. Our transactional revenue has historically been at its lowest in the first quarter due to the timing of customer fundraising initiatives and events. Our revenue from payment processing services hasWe have historically increasedexperienced seasonal highs during the fourth quarter due to year-end giving.giving campaigns and during the second quarter when a large number of events are held. Our revenue from professional services has historically been lower in the first quarter when many of those services commence and in the fourth quarter due to the holiday season. As a result of these and other factors, our total revenue has historically been lower in the first quarter than in the remainder of our fiscal year, with the third and fourth quartersquarter historically achieving the highest total revenues.revenue. Our expenses, however,other than transaction-based costs related to our payments services, do not vary significantly as a result of these factors, but do fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to varying timing of expenditures.
Our cash flow from operations normally fluctuates quarterly due to the combination of the timing of customer contract renewals including renewals associated with customers of acquired companies, delivery of professional services and occurrence of customer events, the payment of bonuses, as well as merit-based salary increases, among other factors. Historically, due to lower revenues in our first quarter, combined with the payment of bonuses from the prior year in our first quarter,certain annual vendor contracts, our cash flow from operations has been lowest in

These patterns may change as a result of the continued shift to online giving, growth in volume of transactions for which we process payments, large dollar customer bookings and contract renewals, fluctuations in the timing of vendor payments, or as a result of acquisitions, new market opportunities, new solution introductions or other factors. For example, we currently do not expect that our operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 will be higher than that of our first quarter primarily due to fluctuations in the timing of vendor and tax payments.

Our operating cash flow depends on continued customer renewal of our subscription and maintenance and support arrangements, and market acceptance of our solutions and services.services, the volume and size of transactions for which we process payments and our customers' ability to pay. Based on current estimates of revenue and expenses, we believe that the currently available sources of funds and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate for at least the next twelve months to finance our operations, fund anticipated capital expenditures and meet our debt obligationsobligations. We also believe that we will be able to continue to meet our long-term cash requirements due to our anticipated cash flow from operations, solid financial position and pay dividends. Dividend payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, notability to declare and pay further dividends and/or repurchase our common stock.access capital from financial markets. To the extent we undertake future material acquisitions or investments or unanticipated capital or operating expenditures, including in connection with the Security Incident, we may require additional capital. In that context, we regularly evaluate opportunities to enhance our capital structure, including through potential debt or equity issuances.
As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the SEC on January 14, 2022. Under this universal shelf registration statement we may offer and sell, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units. Subject to certain conditions, this registration statement will be effective through January 13, 2025.
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, our total cash and cash equivalents balance included approximately $7.5$14.3 million of cash that was held by operations outside the U.S. While these funds may not be needed to fund our U.S. operations for at least the next twelve months, if we need these funds, we may be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate the funds. We currently do not intend nor anticipate a need to repatriate our cash held outside the U.S.

Working capital changes are composed of changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and deferred revenue. Cash
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $42.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a $5.3 million increase in net income adjusted for non-cash expenses and a $37.5 million increase in cash flow from operations associated with working capital.
The increase in cash flow from operations associated with working capital increased $1.6 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2016,2023, was primarily due to a decreaseto:
fluctuations in bonus payments partially offset by the timing of vendor payments; and
an increase in taxes payable.
Security Incident update
As discussed in Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, total costs related to the Security Incident exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage in the first quarter of 2022. Accordingly, the Security Incident has negatively impacted, and we expect it to continue for the foreseeable future to negatively impact, our GAAP profitability and GAAP cash taxes paid.flow (see discussion regarding non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow on page 37). For full year 2024, we currently expect pre-tax expenses of approximately $5 million to $10 million and cash outlays of approximately $8 million to $13 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. In line with our policy, legal fees are expensed as incurred. Not included in these ranges are our previous settlements or current accruals for loss contingencies related to the matters discussed below.
As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded approximately $8.5 million in aggregate liabilities for loss contingencies based primarily on recent negotiations with certain customers and governmental agencies related to the Security Incident that we believed we could reasonably estimate in accordance with our loss contingency procedures described above and as more fully described in Note 9. It is reasonably possible that our estimated actual losses may change in the near term for those matters and be materially in excess of the amounts accrued, but we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible additional loss.
There are other Security Incident-related matters, including customer claims, customer constituent class actions and governmental investigations, for which we have not recorded a liability for a loss contingency as of March 31, 2024 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss. Each of these matters could, separately or in the aggregate, result in an adverse judgment, settlement, fine, penalty or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict, but could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

We used $20.6 million for software development costs, which was up $1.5 million from cash spent in the same period in 2016.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, we had a net decreaseincrease in borrowings of $5.8$260.5 million, even with the incremental borrowings neededprimarily due to finance our acquisition of AcademicWorks. We also paid $3.1 millionASR Transaction (as defined below) in financing costs as a result of refinancing our credit facility.March 2024.

The amount of taxes paid by us on the behalf of employees related to the settlement or exercise of equity awards varies from period to period based upon the timing of grants and vesting, employee exercise decisions, as well as the market price for shares of our common stock at the time of settlement. Due to a change in the timing of our annual equity award grants, mostMost of our equity awards nowcurrently vest in our first quarter. In addition,
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash flow from financing activities associated with changes in restricted cash due to customers decreased $336.6 million, compared to a decrease of $337.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,same period in 2023. This line in the statement of cash flows represents the change in the amount of restricted cash held and payable by us to customers from one period to the next.
Stock repurchase program
On January 17, 2024, our Board of Directors reauthorized, expanded and replenished our stock repurchase program by raising the total capacity under the program from $250.0 million to $500.0 million available for repurchases. The program does not have an expiration date. Under the stock repurchase program, we paid dividendsare authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws both on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of $17.31934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
In March 2024, we announced that we intend to repurchase between 7% and 10% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2023 under our existing $500 million which was relatively consistentstock repurchase program. Consistent with the comparable period of 2016.
2017 Credit Facility
As discussed above,that commitment, in June 2017,March 2024, we entered into an issuer forward repurchase transaction with a large financial institution to repurchase an aggregate $200 million of shares of our common stock (the "ASR Transaction"). Pursuant to the 2017terms of the ASR Transaction, we provided the financial institution with a prepayment of $200 million and received an initial delivery of 2.1 million shares of our common stock, representing approximately 70% of the total shares then-expected to be repurchased under the ASR Transaction. The final number of shares of common stock delivered to us under the ASR Transaction will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the common stock during the term of the ASR Transaction, less a discount and subject to customary adjustments upon events affecting the common stock (e.g., dilutive or concentrative events, mergers and acquisitions, and market disruptions). The final settlement of the ASR Transaction is scheduled to occur by the fourth quarter of 2024, unless settled earlier at the election of the financial institution.
The difference of $52.2 million between the prepayment of $200 million and the value of the shares repurchased on the ASR Transaction date represents an unsettled prepaid forward contract indexed to our common stock and met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification; therefore, it was not accounted for as a derivative instrument as of March 31, 2024. Because of our ability to settle in shares, the $52.2 million prepaid forward contract was classified as a reduction to additional paid-in capital within our unaudited, condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity in this report. We funded the ASR Transaction prepayment with borrowings pursuant to a revolving credit loan under the 2020 Credit Facility. Upon closing,
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we drew $300.0repurchased 2,954,211 shares for $262.6 million. The remaining amount available to purchase stock under the stock repurchase program was $259.7 million on a term loanas of March 31, 2024. After 2024, we plan to repurchase shares to at least offset the dilution from our annual stock-based compensation and $110.0 million in revolving credit loans, which was used to repay all amounts outstanding underpossibly beyond that amount as market conditions and our previous credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.strategic plans permit.

The contracts entered into by the U.S. entity are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars, and contracts entered into by our U.K., Australian and Irish subsidiaries are generally denominated in British Pounds, Australian dollars and Euros, respectively. Historically, as the U.S. dollar weakened, foreign currency translation resulted in an increase in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar strengthened, foreign currency translation resulted in a decrease in our revenue and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, foreign translation resulted in an decreaseincreases in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Though we have exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, primarily those between the U.S. dollar and both the British Pound and Canadian dollar, the impact has generally not been material to our consolidated results of operations or financial position. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates had insignificant impacts onincreased our total revenue and our income from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fluctuation inoperations by $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge

revenues denominated in the Canadian dollar against changes in the exchange rates decreased IMG revenue by approximately $0.8 million.rate with the U.S. dollar. We will continue monitoring such exposure and take action as appropriate. To determine the impacts on revenue (or income from operations) from fluctuations in currency exchange rates, current period revenues (or income from operations) from entities reporting in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year period's weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These impacts are non-GAAP financial information and are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
In June and September 2017, we entered into a foreign currency option contract and a foreign currency forward contract, respectively, to hedge our exposure to currency fluctuations in connection with our acquisition of JustGiving, because the purchase price was denominated in British Pounds. See Note 9 of our consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information about these derivative instruments.
Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if inflationary pressures impact the rate of giving to our customers, there could be adverse impacts to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have market rate sensitivity for interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our variable rate debt is our primary financial instrument with market risk exposure for changing interest rates. We manage our variable rate interest rate risk through a combination of short-term and long-term borrowings and the use of derivative instruments entered into for hedging purposes. Our interest rate exposure includes SOFR rates. Due to the nature of our debt, the materiality of the fair values of the derivative instruments and the highly liquid, short-term nature and level of our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, we believe there is no materialthat the risk of exposure to changing interest rates for those positions.positions is immaterial. There were no significant changes in how we manage interest rate risk between December 31, 20162023 and September 30, 2017.
March 31, 2024.
Foreign Currency Risk
For a discussion of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” in this report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For a discussion of our legal proceedings, see Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our operations and financial resultsWe are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I,supplementing Item IA, "Risk factors"1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in that Annual Report.
Financial Risks
We significantly increased our leverage in connection with acquisition of EVERFI and may increase our leverage in the future in connection with additional acquisitions, Security Incident costs or other business purposes, which could adversely affectimpact our business and financial condition, resultsperformance.
We incurred a substantial amount of operations, cash flows, and the trading priceindebtedness in connection with acquisitions, including our acquisition of EVERFI, Inc. (as described in Note 3 in our stock. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since ourmost recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K). As a result of this indebtedness and other borrowings, including our borrowings in March 2024 to fund the ASR Transaction, our interest payment obligations have increased. In addition, we have been named as a party in various lawsuits in connection with the Security Incident, claims have been asserted by or on behalf of our customers or their constituents, and we are subject to various governmental inquires, requests or investigations. Responding to and resolving these current and any future lawsuits, claims and/or investigations could result in material remedial and other expenses. Although we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the claims asserted against us, we cannot predict the potential outcomes, cost and expenses associated with current and any future claims, lawsuits, inquiries and investigations, which could require that we incur additional indebtedness to fund. (See Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information regarding the Security Incident.)
The degree to which we are leveraged could have adverse effects on our business, including the following:
Requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases and other general corporate purposes;
Increasing the amount of interest we pay, particularly if interest rates increase;
Limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate;
Restricting us from making additional strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;
Placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
Reducing our currently available borrowing capacity or limiting our ability to borrow additional funds; and
Decreasing our ability to compete effectively or operate successfully under adverse economic and industry conditions.
If we incur additional debt, these risks may intensify. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend upon our future performance, which will be subject to the financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control.
In addition, additional leverage could impact our ability to meet certain financial and other covenants contained in our 2024 Credit Facilities. (See Note 13 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a more detailed description of our 2024 Credit Facilities.) There can be no assurance that we will be able to remain in compliance with the covenants to which we are now subject or may be subject in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from our lenders or amend the covenants.

In the event of a default under our 2024 Credit Facilities, we could be required to immediately repay all outstanding borrowings, which we might not be able to do and which would materially negatively affect our business, operations and financial condition.
Operational Risks
The Security Incident has had, and may continue to have, numerous adverse effects on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
As previously disclosed, on July 16, 2020, we contacted certain customers to inform them about the Security Incident, including that in May 2020 we discovered and stopped a ransomware attack. Prior to our successfully preventing the cybercriminal from blocking our system access and fully encrypting files, and ultimately expelling them from our system with no significant disruption to our operations, the cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment that affected over 13,000 customers. Based on the nature of the incident, our research and third party (including law enforcement) investigation we believe that no data went beyond the cybercriminal, was or will be misused, or will be disseminated or otherwise made available publicly. However, our investigation into the Security Incident remains ongoing and may provide additional information.
To date, we have received approximately 260 specific requests from customers for reimbursement of expenses incurred by them related to the Security Incident, approximately 214 (or 82%) of which have been fully resolved and closed and approximately 39 (or 15%) are inactive and are considered by us to have been abandoned by the customers. We have also received approximately 400 reservations of the right to seek expense recovery in the future from customers or their attorneys in the U.S., U.K. and Canada related to the Security Incident, none of which resulted in claims submitted to us and are considered by us to have been abandoned by the customers. We have also received notices of proposed claims on behalf of a number of U.K. data subjects, which we are reviewing. In addition, insurance companies representing various customers’ interests through subrogation claims have contacted us, and certain insurance companies have filed subrogation claims in court, of which 3 cases remain active and unresolved. In addition, presently, we are a defendant in putative consumer class action cases in U.S. federal courts (most of which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court) and in Canadian courts alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who generally purport to represent various classes of individual constituents of our customers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. We have received a Civil Investigative Demand from the office of the California Attorney General relating to the Security Incident. In addition, we are subject to pending governmental actions or investigations by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. (See Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a more detailed description of the Security Incident and related matters.)
On March 9, 2023, the Company reached a settlement with the SEC in connection with the Security Incident that fully resolved the previously disclosed SEC investigation of the Security Incident.
On October 5, 2023, the Company entered into separate, substantially similar Administrative Orders with each of 49 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia in connection with the Security Incident which fully resolved the previously disclosed multi-state Civil Investigative Demand and the separate Civil Investigative Demand from the Office of the Indiana Attorney General relating to the Security Incident.
As previously disclosed, on February 1, 2024, the FTC announced its approval of an Agreement Containing Consent Order (the “Proposed Order”) evidencing its settlement with the Company in connection with the Security Incident. Pursuant to its rules, the FTC placed the Proposed Order and related draft complaint on the public record for a period of 30 days for the receipt of public comments after which the FTC will consider any comments received from interested persons prior to determining whether and in what form to finalize the Proposed Order. The 30-day comment period is expired on March 14, 2024. As part of the FTC’s proposed order, the Company has not been fined and is not otherwise required to make any payment. Furthermore, the Company has agreed to the FTC’s proposed order without admitting or denying any of the FTC’s allegations, except as expressly stated otherwise in the Proposed Order. If finalized, the settlement described in the Proposed Order will fully resolve the FTC investigation. Although we believe the Proposed Order will be finalized in substantially its current form, there can be no assurances as to whether that will occur or its timing. Under the terms of the Proposed Order, we have agreed (i) to not misrepresent (a) the extent to which we maintain, use, delete or disclose certain customer information, (b)
46
bblogo.jpg
First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

Blackbaud, Inc.
the extent to which we protect the privacy, security, availability, confidentiality or integrity of such information or (c) the extent of any security incident or unauthorized disclosure, misuse, loss, theft, alteration, destruction or other compromise of such information, and (ii) to delete certain data, adopt and make public certain record retention limits, establish, implement and maintain a specified information security program, obtain regular independent assessments of the mandated information security program, provide to the FTC specified certifications regarding our compliance with the Proposed Order, provide to the FTC reports of any future security incidents and create and maintain specified recordkeeping. The form of Proposed Order was furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 2, 2024.
As noted above, the terms of the FTC Proposed Order, the Attorneys General Administrative Orders and our settlement with the SEC require that we implement and maintain certain processes and programs and comply with certain legal requirements related to cybersecurity and data protection. Any future regulatory investigation or litigation settlements may also contain such requirements. Effectively implementing, monitoring and updating these requirements is expected to be expensive and time-consuming over an extended period. Our failure to do so in accordance with the terms of our agreements with FTC, the Attorneys General and with the SEC, and possibly others, could expose us to additional material liability under the terms of the Administrative Orders, the SEC settlement, or otherwise.
See Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for a more detailed description of the Security Incident and related matters.
We may be named as a party in additional lawsuits, other claims may be asserted by or on behalf of our customers or their constituents, and we may be subject to additional governmental inquires, requests or investigations. Responding to and resolving these current and any future lawsuits, claims and/or investigations could result in material remedial and other expenses that will not be covered by insurance. It is reasonably possible that our estimated or actual losses may change in the near term for those matters and be materially in excess of the amounts accrued. Certain governmental authorities are seeking to impose undertakings, injunctive relief, consent decrees, or other civil or criminal penalties, which could, among other things, materially increase our data security costs or otherwise require us to alter how we operate our business. Although we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the claims asserted against us, we cannot predict the potential outcomes, cost and expenses associated with current and any future claims, lawsuits, inquiries and investigations.
In addition, any legislative or regulatory changes adopted in reaction to the Security Incident or other companies’ data breaches could require us to make modifications to the operation of our business that could have an adverse effect and/or increase or accelerate our compliance costs.
Significant management time and Company resources have been, and are expected to continue to be, devoted to the Security Incident. For example, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred net pre-tax expenses of $10.3 million related to the Security Incident, which included $3.3 million for ongoing legal fees and additional accruals for loss contingencies of $7.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had cash outlays of $2.0 million related to the Security Incident for ongoing legal fees. For full year ended December 31, 2016.2023, we currently expect pre-tax expenses of approximately $5.0 million to $10.0 million and cash outlays of approximately $8.0 million to $13.0 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. Although we carry insurance against certain losses related to the Security Incident, we exceeded the limit of that insurance coverage in the first quarter of 2022. As a result, we will be responsible for all expenses or other losses (including penalties, fines or other judgments) or all types of claims that may arise in connection with the Security Incident, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. (See Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.) If any such fines or penalties were great enough that we could not pay them through funds generated from operating activities and/or cause a default under the 2024 Credit Facilities, we may be forced to renegotiate or obtain a waiver under the 2024 Credit Facilities and/or seek additional debt or equity financing. Such renegotiation or financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. In these circumstances, if we were unable to obtain sufficient financing, we may not be able to meet our obligations as they come due.
In addition, publicity or developments related to the Security Incident could in the future have a range of other adverse effects on our business or prospects, including causing or contributing to loss of customer confidence, reduced customer demand, reduced customer retention, strategic growth opportunities, and associated retention and recruiting difficulties, some or all of which could be material.

Legal and Compliance Risks
Provisions in our organizational documents, certain officer compensation arrangements and Delaware law may delay or prevent an acquisition or change of control of our Company that could be deemed beneficial to our stockholders.
Certain provisions in our organizational documents, the Rights Agreement, compensation arrangements with our officers and Delaware law (as summarized below) may have the effect of delaying, deferring, discouraging or preventing an acquisition or change in control of the Company or a change in our management. This includes tender offers for our common stock, proxy contests or other takeover attempts. These anti-takeover effects may discourage transactions that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for shares of our common stock. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock if they are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the future.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw provisions. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class serving a staggered term of three years. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult and time-consuming for stockholders to change the composition of the Board of Directors, could discourage a third-party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company and may maintain the incumbency of the Board of Directors.
Our Bylaws contain an advance notice procedure for stockholders proposals to be brought before a meeting of stockholders, including any proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors. The Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed and may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
The Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series and to determine, with respect to any such class or series, the designations, powers, preferences and rights of such class or series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, liquidation preferences, and the number of shares constituting any class or series or the designation of such class or series, without further vote or action by the stockholders. This preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock described below, could have terms that may discourage a potential acquirer from making, without first negotiating with the Board of Directors, an acquisition attempt through which such acquirer may be able to change the composition of the Board of Directors, including a tender offer or other takeover attempt.
The Board of Directors possesses the authority to call and hold emergency special meetings of the Board of Directors with less than forty-eight hours’ notice. This power to hold an emergency special meeting of the Board of Directors on short notice could discourage a potential acquirer from launching a bid to acquire majority ownership of the Company, a proxy solicitation in order to replace the current Board of Directors, or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
Stockholder Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement"). On October 7, 2022, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The description and terms of these Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. Each Right entitled the registered holder, subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement, to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price of $313.00, subject to certain adjustments (as adjusted from time to time, the “Exercise Price”). Under the Rights Agreement, the Rights would have become exercisable if an entity, person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock in a transaction not approved by the Board of Directors. In the event that the Rights became exercisable due to the ownership threshold being crossed, each Right would have entitled its holder (other than the person, entity or group triggering the Rights Plan, whose rights would have become void and not exercisable) to purchase additional shares of Common Stock having a then-current market value of twice the Exercise Price, which would have likely made any takeover or change of control attempt by such entity, person or group prohibitively expensive. Subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement, the Rights were scheduled to expire on October 2, 2023. On October 2, 2023, the Company amended the Rights Agreement to extend the final expiration date from October 2, 2023 to October 2, 2024. On January 26, 2024, the Company amended the Rights Agreement to substitute Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC as the new rights agent under the Rights Agreement. On March 18, 2024, the Company terminated the Rights Agreement and eliminated the Series A Preferred Stock as a series of stock under its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

At the time of the termination of the Rights Agreement, all of the Rights expired. Additional information regarding the Rights Agreement and its termination, is contained in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 2, 2023, January 26, 2024 and March 18, 2024 and in the Company's Form 8-A/A filed with the SEC on March 18, 2024.
Officer Compensation Arrangements. We have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer and retention agreements with certain of our officers, which provide that, upon the occurrence of a change in control of us and either the termination of their employment without cause (as defined) or their resignation for good reason (as defined), such persons would be entitled to certain termination or severance payments made by us (which may include a lump sum payment equal to defined percentages of compensation and accelerated vesting of certain equity stock awards paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective agreement). Such provisions could significantly increase the costs to a third-party acquirer and/or deter such third-party from acquiring us.
Delaware anti-takeover law. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation, such as the Company, from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain criteria are met. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation, and within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock.

42Trading Arrangements Adopted or Terminated
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities.
April 2024 Credit Agreement Refinancing
On April 30, 2024, we entered into the Amendment. The Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement.
The Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) refinance the credit facilities under the Existing Credit Agreement to provide for (i) the 2024 Revolving Facility and (ii) the 2024 Term Facility, (b) extend the maturity date to April 30, 2029, (c) modify the definition of Applicable Margin and (iv) modify certain negative and financial covenants to provide additional operational flexibility.
Under the 2024 Credit Facilities, dollar tranche revolving loans and term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company: (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., and (iii) the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin; (b) Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin; or (c) the Daily SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted quarterly, varies based on our net leverage ratio and varies based on whether the loan is a Base Rate Loan (0.375% to 1.500%), or a Term SOFR Loan/Daily SOFR Loan (1.375% to 2.500%). The 2024 Credit Agreement also provides for a commitment fee of between 0.250% and 0.500% of the unused commitment under the 2024 Revolving Facility depending on our net leverage ratio.
Under the 2024 Credit Facilities, designated currency tranche revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company: (a) the Designated Currency Daily Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin; or (b) the Designated Currency Term Rate (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted quarterly and varies based on our net leverage ratio for both Designated Currency Daily Rate Loans and Designated Currency Term Rate Loans (1.375% to 2.500%).
