NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DHI Group, Inc. (“DHI” or the “Company” or "we" or "us") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted and condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 20162022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162022 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the nine monththree-month period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the nine monththree-month period ended September 30, 2017, except thatMarch 31, 2023.

The Company allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis, as all services pertain to the Company's Tech-focused strategy. As a result, the Company has a single reportable segment, Tech-focused, which includes the Dice and ClearanceJobs brands, as well as corporate related costs. All operations are in the United States and the Company changed its reportable segments inno longer has revenues and long-lived assets, which includes fixed assets and lease right of use assets, outside of the third quarter of 2017 as described in note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.United States.


2.    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09 (“Topic 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and requires  entities to measure and recognize revenue and the related cash flows it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and requires an entity to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset if the entity expects to recover those costs over time. Topic 606 becomes effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Late in 2016, the Company initiated a project team to evaluate the impact of this standard, document the considerations for each revenue stream and begin the implementation process. The analysis identifying areas that will be impacted by the new guidance is substantially complete. As a result of the evaluation performed, the Company expects that there will be certain limited changes to the timing of revenue recognition for job posting and resume search over the contract period, primarily in the Healthcare segment, along with the deferral of certain commission expenses.
DHI will adopt Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018, and expects to use the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date.  Upon adoption, the Company expects to recognize the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. The cumulative effect of adoption is not expected to be material related to revenues. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adoption related to incremental costs.
In MarchJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.The Company adopted the standard during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The new standard requires all income tax effects2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, rather than in additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the new standard eliminates the requirement to reclassify excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities in the statement of cash flows. Additionally, the Company can now make a policy election toCredit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will account for forfeitures as they occur. Amendments requiring recognitioncredit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" model that requires consideration of excess tax benefitsa broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of a financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and tax deficienciesannual reporting periods in the income statement were applied prospectively. The tax effect of awards vested resulted in income tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company recast prior year cash flows to reflect the excess tax benefit as an operating activity, resulting in a reclassification of $0.4 million from “Excess tax benefit over book expense from stock based compensation” to “Income taxes receivable/payable” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company will record forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating in advance.fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for Smaller Reporting Companies. On January 1, 2017,2023, under

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB ASC topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is used, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. These assets include equity investments, operating lease right-of-use assets, and goodwill and intangible assets which resulted from prior acquisitions. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the third quarterlowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.

similar to shares purchased by a third party investor in the Qualified Financing that resulted in such investor becoming the majority owner of the business, holding 50.5% of the outstanding equity in the business, on a fully-diluted basis. Therefore, the Company's shares in the business were recorded at fair value based on the price per share realized in the Qualified Financing. Subsequent to the Qualified Financing, the Company valued the investment at $0.7 million, and it is recorded as an investment in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. The Company recognized an impairment loss during the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $2.3 million. No impairment was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. During the first quarter of 2017,2023, the majority investor purchased additional shares of the business as was contemplated in, and at the same price as, in the Qualified Financing. As a result, the Company's ownership, on a fully-diluted basis, on March 31, 2023 was reduced to 4.1%.

The Company has elected the measurement alternative in accordance with FASB ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. As of March 31, 2023, subsequent to the Qualified Financing, it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of its interest because there were no observable transactions for the investment. Accordingly, the investment was carried at the value realized in the Qualified Financing as of March 31, 2023, as described above.

Rigzone is a website dedicated to delivering online content, data, and career services in the oil and gas industry in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Oil and gas companies, as well as companies that serve the energy industry, use Rigzone to find talent for roles such as petroleum engineers, sales professionals with energy industry expertise and skilled tradesmen. On August 31, 2018, the Company retired $26.7transferred a majority ownership and control of the Rigzone business to Rigzone management, while retaining a 40% common share interest, with zero proceeds received from the transfer. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company sold its 40% interest in Rigzone to Rigzone management for $0.3 million. At the time of the sale, the recorded value of the investment was zero. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $0.3 million gain on sale, which was included in gain (loss) on investment on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On June 30, 2021, the Company transferred majority ownership and control of its eFC business to eFC's management, while retaining a 40% common share interest with zero proceeds received from the transfer. The Company incurred approximately $0.1 million in selling costs and recognized a $30.2 million loss on the transfer in the second quarter of 2021, which included a $28.1 million charge related to accumulated foreign currency loss that was previously a reduction to equity.

eFC is a financial services careers website, operating websites in multiple markets in four languages mainly across the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. Professionals from across many sectors of the financial services industry, including asset management, risk management, investment banking, and information technology, use eFC to advance their careers. The Company has evaluated the 40% common share interest in the eFC business and has determined the investment meets the definition and criteria of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company evaluated the VIE and determined that the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The common share interest is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over eFC. The investment was recorded at its fair value on June 30, 2021, the date of transfer, which was $3.6 million. The Company's equity in the net assets of eFC as of June 30, 2021 was $2.2 million. The difference between the Company's recorded value and its equity in net assets of eFC is amortized against the recorded value of the investment in accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Accordingly, the Company recorded amortization of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. There was no amortization recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022 because it was not material. The recorded value is further adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of eFC's net income and is recorded three months in arrears. For each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $0.2 million of income related to its proportionate share of eFC's net income, net of currency translation adjustments and amortization of the basis difference.

At January 1, 2018, the Company held preferred stock representing a 10.0% interest in the fully amortized acquired intangible assets.diluted shares of a tech skills assessment company. During 2018, the skills assessment company completed an additional equity offering, lowering DHI's total interest to 7.6%. The investment was carried at its original cost of $2.0 million and was included in the other assets section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on the investment's historical cash burn rate, uncertainty of its ability to meet revenue and cash flow projections, current liquidity position, lack of access to additional capital, and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined the value to be zero. The investment is recorded at zero as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Considering the recognition of the Dice brand, its long history, awareness in the talent acquisition and staffing services market, and the intended use, the remaining useful life of the Dice.com trademarks and brand name was determined to be indefinite. We determine whether the carrying value of therecorded indefinite-lived acquired finite-lived intangible assets is impaired on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The annual impairment test for the Dice.com trademarks and brand name is performed on October 1 of each year. The impairment review process compares the fair value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recorded.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $23.8 million related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. No impairment was recorded during the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

The projections utilized in the October 1, 2022 analysis included increasing revenues at rates approximating industry growth projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, general market conditions, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. The October 1, 2022 analysis included operating margins during the year ending December 31, 2022 that approximate operating margins for the year ended December 31, 2021 and then increasing modestly. If future cash flows that are attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period. The Company's operating results attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name through March 31, 2023 and projections of future results approximate those included in the projections utilized in the October 1, 2022 analysis. In the October 1, 2022 analysis, the Company utilized a relief from royalty rate method to value the Dice trademarks and brand name using a royalty rate of 4.0% based on comparable industry licensing agreements and the profitability attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name and a discount rate of 12.0%.

The determination of whether or not indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets. Fair values are determined using a profit allocation methodology which estimates the value of the trademarks and brand name by capitalizing the profits saved because the company owns the asset. We consider factors such as historical performance, anticipated market conditions, operating expense trends and capital expenditure requirements. Changes in our strategy and/or changes in market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets. If projections are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in the foreseeable future.

8.   GOODWILL

Goodwill as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023 and assumingDecember 31, 2022, which was allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit, was $128.1 million.

The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit is performed on October 1 of each year. The results of the impairment test indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was substantially in excess of the carrying value as of October 1, 2022.

Results for the Tech-focused reporting unit for the first quarter of 2023 and estimated future results as of March 31, 2023 approximate the projections used in the October 1, 2022 analysis. As a result, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value as of March 31, 2023. Therefore, no subsequentquantitative impairment test was performed as of March 31, 2023. There were no changes to goodwill and no impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

The projections utilized in the October 1, 2022 analysis included increasing revenues at rates approximating industry growth projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, general market conditions, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. The October 1, 2022 analysis included operating margins during the year ending December 31, 2022 that approximate operating margins for the year ended December 31, 2021 and then increasing modestly. If future cash flows that are attributable to the Tech-focused reporting unit are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period.

The offering periods are January 1 to June 30 and July 1 to December 31. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP is estimated using500,000, subject to adjustment as provided under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model usingESPP.

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (“UK”) held a referendum in which British citizens approved an exit from the EU, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” Brexit could cause disruptions to and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers and employees based in the UK and Europe along with adversely impacting foreign currencies, particularly the British Pound Sterling as compared to the United States dollar.  These disruptions and uncertainties could decrease demand for finance and technology professionals in the markets we serve. This decline in demand and any future declines in demand could significantly decrease the use of our finance and technology industry job posting websites and related services, which may adversely affect the Tech-focused reporting unit’s financial condition and results of operations. If recruitment activity is slow in the industries in which we operate during 2017 and beyond, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively impacted. As a result of these factors, in the third quarter, the Company further evaluated the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit and believes it is not more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value. If events and circumstances change resulting in significant reductions in actual operating income or projections of future operating income, the Company will test this reporting unit for impairment prior to the annual impairment test.
The fair value of the Hospitality reporting unit was not substantially in excess of the carrying value as of the most recent annual impairment testing date of October 1, 2016. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value for the Hospitality reporting unit was 19%. As a result of the continued competition in the Hospitality reporting unit, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test of the Hospitality reporting units as of December 31, 2016. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value for the Hospitality reporting unit as of December 31, 2016 was 16%. As a result of these factors, in the third quarter, the Company further evaluated the fair value of the Hospitality reporting unit and believes it is not more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value. The Healthcare reporting unit was not at risk of experiencing a fair value less than carrying value. Therefore, no interim impairment testing was performed as of September 30, 2017.
The Company disclosed in the second quarter of 2017 that the fair value of the Finance reporting unit, now included in Tech-focused, was not substantially in excess of the carrying value as of the most recent annual impairment testing date of October 1, 2016.  See evaluation of the Tech-focused reporting unit above.

12.13.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalents, assuming exercise of stock options, where dilutive. Stock-based awards of approximately 3.0 million and 3.3 million were outstanding during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and approximately 2.5 million shares were outstanding during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively, but were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the periods then ended because the effect of the awards is anti-dilutive. In 2016, shares issuable from stock-based awards of 0.8 million for both the three and nine month periods

We have other services and activities that individually are not more than 10% of consolidated revenues, operating income or total assets. These include Slashdot Media (business sold in the first quarter of 2016), Hospitality, Rigzone, and BioSpace (each formerly in the Global Industry Group) and getTalent services, which are reported in the "Corporate & Other" category, along with corporate-related costs which are not considered in a segment.


Recent Developments
The Company announced on May 3, 2017 plans to divest a number of its online professional communities to achieve greater focus and resource allocation toward its core tech-focused business. The planned divestitures include: BioSpace, Hcareers, Health eCareers, and Rigzone. The Company has engaged a financial advisor and continues the process of evaluating opportunities to conduct value enhancing divestitures of these non-tech businesses. There can be no assurance that the process will result in a transaction for the disposition of one or more of our businesses, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing.
Effective July 1, 2017, in connection the Company’s focus on the tech-based business and the planned divestitures, it organized leadership responsibilities to leverage operating capabilities more effectively on technology recruiting.  This entailedNone.

combining brands that have a high focus on technology recruiting into one management structure called Tech-focused.  Management believes this new structure will allow the Company to leverage its organizational capabilities to drive growth in its Tech-focused brands.
Our Revenues and Expenses

We derive the majority of our revenues from customers who pay fees, either annually, quarterly or monthly, to post jobs on our websites and to access our searchable databases of resumes. Our fees vary by customer based on the number of individual users of our databases of resumes, the number and type of job postings and profile views purchased and the termterms of the packages purchased. Our Tech-focused segmentCompany sells recruitment packages that can include both access to our databases of resumes and Open Web profiles, as well as job posting capabilities. Our Healthcare segment as well as Hcareers (included in Corporate & Other) sell job postings and access to our resume databases either as part of a package or individually. We believe the key metrics that are material to an analysis of our businesses are our total number of Dice and ClearanceJobs recruitment package customers and the revenue, on average, that these customers generate. Average monthlyThe tables below detail this customer data.

Deferred revenue, is a key metricas shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, reflects customer billings made in advance of services being rendered. Backlog consists of deferred revenue plus customer contractual commitments not invoiced representing the value of future services to be rendered under committed contracts. We believe backlog to be an important measure of our business as it indicates a level of sales already made that will be recognized as revenue in the future. Deferred revenue reflects the impact ofrepresents our ability to sign customers to longer term contracts. We recordedgenerate future revenue. A summary of our deferred revenue of $81.8and backlog is as follows:

The increase in backlog compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 is due to the strong technology recruitment market driving bookings growth at both Dice and ClearanceJobs, a focus on signing multi-year contracts, and the Company's ongoing investments in sales and marketing.

To a lesser extent, we also generate revenue from advertising on our various websites or from lead generation and marketing solutions provided to our customers. Advertisements include various forms of rich media and banner advertising, text links, sponsorships, and custom content marketing solutions. Lead generation information utilizes advertising and other methods to deliver leads to a customer.customers.
The Company’s revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 declined year-over-year in each of our brands except ClearanceJobs.  The declines are due to many factors including competition and evolution in the digital recruitment market, as well as macroeconomic impacts.  The digital recruitment market continues to be challenged by attribution, which reflects our ability to receive the proper credit for value delivered to customers based on our customers’ internal tracking systems, contributing to lower renewal rates in recruitment packages at Dice. Macroeconomic drivers include the prolonged down-turn in the energy market resulting in revenue declines in our Rigzone business.  Foreign currency and uncertainty around Brexit have also contributed to lower revenues in eFinancialCareers and Dice Europe.
The Company continues to evolve and present new software products and features to the market such as Lengo, OpenWeb, Shiftattract and others.engage qualified professionals and match them with employers. Our ability to grow our revenues will largely depend on our ability to grow our customer bases in the markets in which we operate by acquiring new recruitment package customers and advertisers while retaining a high proportion of the customers we currently serve, and to expand the breadth of services our customers purchase from us. We continue to make investments in our business and infrastructure to help us achieve our long-term growth objectives, such as the innovative products noted above.in the table below.

Other material factors that may affect our results of operations include our ability to attract qualified professionals that become engaged with our websites and our ability to attract customers with relevant job opportunities. The more qualified professionals that use our websites, the more attractive our websites become to employers and advertisers, which in turn makes them more likely to become our customers, resulting positively on our results of operations. If we are unable to continue to attract qualified professionals to engage with our websites,two-sided marketplaces, our customers may no longer find our services attractive, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Additionally, we need to ensure that our websites remain relevant in order

to attract qualified professionals to our websites and to engage them in high-value tasks, such as posting resumes and/or applying tofor jobs.

The largest components of our expenses are personnel costs and marketing and sales expenditures. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation for our employees, including commissions for salespeople. Personnel costs are categorized in our statement of operations based on each employee’s principal function. Personnel costs incurred during the application development stage of internal use software and website development are recorded as fixed assets and amortized to depreciation expense in the statement of operations over the estimated useful life of the asset. Marketing expenditures primarily consist of online advertising, brand promotion and lead generation to employers and job seekers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional informationmeasures for our operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA is aand Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP metricmeasures used by management to measure operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as a performance measuremeasures for internal monitoring and planning, including preparation of annual budgets, analyzing investment decisions and evaluating profitability and performance comparisons between us and our competitors. WeThe Company also use this measureuses these measures to calculate amounts of performance based compensation under the senior management incentive bonus program. Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our Credit Agreement as “Consolidated EBITDA,” represents net income plus (to the extent deducted in calculating such net income) interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and items such as non-cash stock option expenses,stock-based compensation expense, losses resulting from certain dispositions outside the ordinary course of business including prior negative operating results of those divested businesses, certain writeoffswrite-offs in connection with indebtedness, impairment charges with respect to long-lived assets, expenses incurred in connection with an equity offering or any other offering of securities by the Company, extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash expenses or losses, losses from equity method investments, transaction costs in connection with the Credit Agreement up to $250,000,credit agreement, deferred revenues written off in connection with acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, writeoffwrite-off of non-cash stockstock-based compensation expense, severance and business interruption insurance proceeds,retention costs related to dispositions and reorganizations of the Company, and losses related to legal claims and fees that are unusual in nature or infrequent, minus (to the extent included in calculating such net income) non-cash income or gains, including income from equity method investments, interest income, business interruption insurance proceeds, and interest income.any income or gain resulting from certain dispositions outside the ordinary course of business, including prior positive operating results of those divested businesses, and gains related to legal claims that are unusual in nature or infrequent.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues.
We also consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined above, to be an important indicatorindicators to investors because it providesthey provide information related to our ability to provide cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements, and to fund future growth, as well as to monitor compliance with financial covenants.growth. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as a supplemental performance measuremeasures because we believe that this measure providesthese measures provide our boardBoard of directors,Directors (the "Board"), management and investors with additional information to measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period and company to company by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense) and tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), and to estimate our value.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because covenants in our Credit Agreement contain ratios based on this measure. Our Credit Agreement is material to us because it is one of our primary sources of liquidity. If our Adjusted EBITDA were to decline below certain levels, covenants in our Credit Agreement that are based on Adjusted EBITDA may be violated and could cause a default and acceleration of payment obligations under our Credit Agreement. See Note 6 “Indebtedness” for additional information on the covenants for our Credit Agreement.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.
We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA isand Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA hasand Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as an analytical tool,tools, and you should not consider itthem in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our liquidity or results as reported under GAAP. Some limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA doesand Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA doesand Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on yourour debt;

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA doesand Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than we do, limiting itstheir usefulness as a comparative measure.measures.
To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates our liquidity by considering the economic effect of excluded expense items independently, as well as in connection with its analysis of cash flows from operations and through the use of

We have summarized our cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 20162022 follows (in thousands).:

 $37,012
Cash used in investing activities(10,660) (6,032)
Cash used in financing activities(17,722) (35,294)

We have financed our operations primarily through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we had cash of $22.1$5.4 million compared to $23.0$3.0 million at December 31, 2016. Cash held by foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately $17.7 million at September 30, 2017, of which $1.4 million was held by the Canada subsidiary.  The remaining cash of $16.3 million held outside the United States and Canada is indefinitely reinvested. Cash balances and cash generation in the United States, along with the unused portion of our revolving credit facility, are sufficient to maintain liquidity and meet our obligations without being dependent on cash and earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. Because the Company has asserted that the foreign earnings, excluding Canada, are indefinitely reinvested, we have not recorded a deferred tax liability related to such foreign earnings.  The Company has not disclosed the unrecorded deferred tax liability as determination of the liability is not practicable.2022.

Liquidity

Our principal internal sources of liquidity are cash, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations. In addition, we had $81.0$54.0 million in borrowing capacity under our $150.0$100.0 million Credit Agreement, as defined below, at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, subject to certain availability limits including our consolidated leverage ratio, which generally limits borrowings to three2.5 times annual Adjusted EBITDA levels.levels, as defined in the Credit Agreement. We believe that our existing U.S. and Canadian cash, cash generated from our continuing operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter. However, it is possible that one or more lenders under the Credit Agreement may refuse or be unable to satisfy their commitment to lend to us, we may violate one or more of our covenants or financial ratios contained in our Credit Agreement or we may need to refinance our debt and be unable to do so. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services and the ability of our customers to pay for current or future services. We may also make acquisitions and may need to raise additional capital through future debt financings or equity offerings to the extent necessary to fund such acquisitions, which we may not be able to do on a timely basis or on terms satisfactory to us or at all.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities primarily consist of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, stock basedstock-based compensation, income from equity method investments, gain or impairments on investments, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash flows from operating activities were $27.2$0.0 million and $37.0$9.2 million for the nine monththree-month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 2016,2022, respectively. Cash inflow from operations is driven by earnings and is dependent on the amount and timing of payments to vendors and employees and billings to and cash collectioncollections from our customers. The cashCash provided by operating activities during the 20172023 period decreased $9.2 million compared to the same period of 2022 due to lower earnings.higher overall headcount, the timing of bonus payments, and the timing of payments to vendors and billings to and cash collections from our customers.

Financing and Capital Requirements

Credit Agreement
In November 2015, we entered into
We have a new$100 million revolving credit facility, which matures June 2027, with $46.0 million of borrowings on the facility at March 31, 2023, leaving $54.0 million available for future borrowings, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, which provided for a revolving loan facility of $250.0 million, maturing in November 2020. The facility was reduced from $250.0 million to $150.0 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a LIBORbase rate, or baseplus a margin. Borrowings under the credit agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75%2.00% to 2.50%2.75% on LIBORSOFR and SONIA loans and 0.75%1.00% to 1.50%1.75% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’sCompany's most recent consolidated leverage ratio, plus an additional spread of 0.10%. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.35% to 0.50% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company's most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The facility mayAssuming an interest rate of 6.90% (the rate in effect on March 31, 2023) on our current borrowings, interest payments are expected to be prepaid at any time without penalty.
$2.4 million from April 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, $3.2 million in each of 2024, 2025 and 2026 and $1.6 million in 2027. The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Negative covenants include restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; and incurring additional indebtedness. Restricted payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.0 to 1.0, plus an additional $5.0 million of restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 69 in the Notesnotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.condensed consolidated financial statements and Item 3. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Interest Rate Risk."

The leases have terms from one year to eight years, some of which include options to renew the lease, and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. No leases include options to purchase the leased property. As of March 31, 2023, the value of our lease right-of-use asset was $6.1 million and the estimated timing under contractual obligations with minimum firm commitments asvalue of September 30, 2017:our lease liability was $8.0 million.

We make commitments to purchase advertising from online vendors, which we pay for on a monthly basis. We have no significant long-term obligations to purchase a fixed or minimum amount with these vendors.
Our principal commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for office space and equipment and long-term debt. As of September 30, 2017, we had $69.0 million outstanding under our Credit Agreement. Interest payments are due quarterly or at varying, specified periods (to a maximum of three months) based on the type of loan (LIBOR or base rate loan) we choose. See Note 6 “Indebtedness” in our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to our Credit Agreement.
Future interest payments on our Credit Agreement are variable due to our interest rate being based on a LIBOR rate or a base rate. Assuming an interest rate of 3.25% (the rate in effect on September 30, 2017) on our current borrowings, interest payments are expected to be $0.7 million for October through December 2017, $5.7 million in 2018-2019 and $2.6 million in 2020.Other Capital Requirements

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we recorded approximately $4.9$0.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities, including an increase of $2.3 million from December 31, 2016 related to filing positions on our prior year US tax returns. Weand we are uncertain if or when such amounts may be settled. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits considered permanent differences, we have also recorded a liability for potential penalties and interest. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 are $4.9$0.8 million of tax benefits that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.rate if recognized. The Company

believes it is reasonably possible that as much as $624,000$0.2 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized in the next twelve12 months.

The Board previously approved a stock repurchase program that permits the Company to repurchase its common stock. As of March 31, 2023, the value of shares available to be purchased under the current plan was $8.2 million. Management has discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time. See note 11 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We anticipate capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2023 to be approximately $20 million to $22 million. The increase over prior periods is due to the additional investments in the development of new products and features and leasehold improvements. We intend to use operating cash flows to fund capital expenditures.

Cyclicality

The labor market and certain of the industries that we serve have historically experienced short-term cyclicality. However, we believe that online career websites and marketplaces continue to provide economic and strategic value to the labor market and industries that we serve.

Any slowdown in recruitment activity that occurs willcould negatively impact our revenues and results of operations. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a slowdown of recruiting activity in 2020, which negatively impacted our business. Alternatively, a decrease in the unemployment rate or a labor shortage, including as a result of an increase in job turnover,
27


generally means that employers (including our customers) are seeking to hire more individuals, which would generally lead to more job postings and database licenses and have a positive impact on our revenues and results of operations. Based on historical trends, improvements in labor markets and the need for our services generally lag behind overall economic improvements. Additionally, there has historically been a lag from the time customers begin to increase purchases of our recruitment services and the impact to our revenues due to the recognition of revenue occurring over the length of the contract, which can be several months to over a year.
Persistent low oil prices since 2014 is an example of how economic conditions
From time to time, we see market slowdowns, which can negatively impact our revenues and results of operations. As a result, we have seen decreasedlead to lower demand for energy professionals worldwide. This decline in demandrecruiting technologists and any future declines in demand for energy professionals could further decrease the use of our energy industry job posting websites and related services. From the second half of 2011 into 2014, we saw tougher market conditions in our finance segment and a less urgent recruiting environment for technologysecurity cleared professionals. If recruitment activity slowed in the industries in which we operate during 2017 and beyond, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively impacted.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant market prices.
Foreign Exchange Risk

We arenot subject to foreign exchange risk

The Company's investment in eFC, as described in note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, which is recorded under the equity method of accounting, subjects the Company to foreign exchange risk for exchange rate fluctuations between such local currencies andbecause the functional currency of eFC is the British Pound Sterling and between local currencies andSterling. Accordingly, the United States dollar and the subsequent translationCompany must translate its share of the British Pound Sterling toeFC's net income into United States dollars. We currently do not hedgeThe foreign currency risk. A decrease in foreign exchange rates during a period would result in decreased amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income, and of Cash Flows. For example, if foreign exchange rates between the British Pound Sterling and United States dollar decreased by 1.0%, the impact on our revenues and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, would have been a decrease of approximately $202,000 and $195,000, respectively.
On June 23, 2016, the UK held a referendum in which British citizens approved an exit from the EU, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” As a result of the referendum, the global markets and currencies have been adversely impacted, including a decline in the value of the British Pound Sterling as comparedtranslation related to the United States dollar. Volatility in exchange rates may occur as the UK negotiates its exit from the EU. We currently doCompany's share of eFC's net income is not hedge our British Pound Sterling exposure and therefore are susceptibleexpected to currency risk. Any impact from Brexit on us will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations. Although it is unknown what the result of those negotiations will be it is possible that new terms may adversely affect our operations and financial results.significant.
The financial statements of our non-United States subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using current exchange rates, with gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, which is a component of stockholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our translation adjustment decreased stockholders’ equity by $27.6 million and $32.3 million, respectively. The change from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to the position of the United States dollar against the British Pound Sterling.


Interest Rate Risk

We have interest rate risk primarily related to borrowings under our Credit Agreement. Borrowings under ourthe Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the SOFR or a base rate, plus a margin.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established a system
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this report.

PART II


Item 1.Legal Proceedings    
Item 1. Legal Proceedings    
From time to time we may be involved in disputes or litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations. WeExcept as noted in Note 10 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, we are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.


Item 1A.
Item 1A.    Risk Factors    

If we fail to attract or retain key executives and personnel, there could be a material adverse effect on our business.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of senior management and key technical personnel. We have employment agreements, which include non-compete provisions, with all members of senior management and certain key technical personnel. However, we cannot assure you that any of these senior managers or others will remain with us or that they will not compete with us in the event they cease to be employees, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, we have not purchased key person life insurance on any members of our senior management. Our future success also depends upon our continuing ability to identify, attract, hire and retain highly qualified personnel, including skilled technical, management, product and technology, and sales and marketing personnel, all of whom are in high demand and are often subject to competing offers. There has in the past been, and there may in the future be, a shortage of qualified personnel in the career services market. We also compete for qualified personnel with other companies. A loss of a substantial number of qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for expansion of our business, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We recently announced the departure of our Chief Executive Officer, effective upon the earlier of March 31, 2018 and the date on which his successor is appointed. The Board has an active search process underway to select the next CEO. Such leadership transitions can be inherently difficult to manage, and an inadequate transition of our CEO may cause disruption to our business, including to our relationships with customers and employees. In addition, if we are unable to attract and retain a qualified candidate to become our permanent CEO in a timely manner, our ability to meet our financial and operational goals and strategic plans may be adversely impacted, as well as our financial performance. It may also make it more difficult to retain other key employees until the transition is complete.    
We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K the risk factors which materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, except as otherwise described herein.operations. As of November 2, 2017May 10, 2023, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-

31



Q.10-Q. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
