(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Information
Press Ganey Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading provider of patient experience and caregiver measurement, performance measurement, analysis, benchmarking,analytics and quality improvement services primarily tostrategic advisory solutions for healthcare organizations across the United States healthcare industry.continuum of care. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Press Ganey Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Press Ganey Associates (“Associates”), and Associates’ wholly owned subsidiaries, PatientImpact LLC; Data Advantage LLC; Center for Performance Services, Inc.; Morehead Associates, Inc.; On The Spot Systems, Inc.; Dynamic Clinical Systems, Inc.; and Healthcare Performance Improvement, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior to the initial public offering (discussed below), the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of PG Holdco, LLC (the “Parent”).
Effective May 8, 2015, the name of the Company was changed from PGA Holdings, Inc. to Press Ganey Holdings, Inc.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015 and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Initial Public Offering
In May 2015, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 8,900,000 shares of common stock and, upon the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, issued an additional 1,335,000 shares for a total of 10,235,000 shares issued at an offering price of $25.00 per share. Proceeds from the IPO were approximately $234.4 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering-related transaction costs incurred. In connection with the IPO: (i) the Parent was liquidated and its sole asset, the shares of the Company’s common stock, was distributed to the equity holders based on their relative rights under the limited liability company agreement, (ii) the Company recognized $70.4 million of equity-based compensation expense for the modification of certain units of the Parent, (iii) the Company paid a one-time transaction advisory fee of $8.5 million to Vestar, and (iv) the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $638,000 related to the write-off of deferred financing fees, loss on original issue discount and lender fees as a result of the partial repayment of its term loan facility with the net proceeds of the IPO.
Stock Split
On May 8, 2015, the Company’s common stock was split at a 2,800-for-one ratio. The authorized shares were increased to 350.0 million. Accordingly, all references to numbers of common shares and per-share data in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.

Preferred Stock
On May 27, 2015, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, authorize 50.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A complete listing of the Company’s significant accounting policies is discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s prospectus filed withAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the SEC on May 22, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.year ended December 31, 2015.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014‑09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year to annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB is permitting early adoption of the standard, but not until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, the original effective date. An entity may choose to adopt this ASU either retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment as of the start of the first period for which it applies the standard. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations of ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, which clarifies the identification of performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance of ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and its method of adoption.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. In addition, this update changes the accounting for software licenses to be consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. An entity may choose to adopt this ASU either retrospectively or prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact theadopted ASU 2015-05 on January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and its method of adoption.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015‑03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. As of December 31, 2014, debt issuance costs of $977,000 were reclassified from deferred financing fees, net to long-term debt, less current portion in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”. This ASU added an SEC paragraph addressing the presentation of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements since ASU 2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff does not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company adopted ASU 2015-15 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. There were no adjustments to the presentation of debt issuance costs relating to the line-of-credit arrangement and no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption of the new standard.
statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. This ASU requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this ASU require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 on January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
5
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. This ASU requires that a lessee record an operating lease in the balance sheet with a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this standard will be on a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that the Company may elect to apply. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption ofthat this standardnew guidance will have on ourits consolidated financial statements and its method of adoption.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, treatment of forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and reports its financial assets and liabilities on the basis of fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
A three‑level hierarchy for disclosure has been established to show the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
7
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs (quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability).
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These values are generally determined using pricing models which utilize management estimates of market participant assumptions.
Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost‑effective to obtain. The Company had no Level 3 assets or liabilities at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, except for the Level 3 measurements of the acquired net assets of the business acquired (Note 5).
Financial Instruments
The recorded values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The recorded valuesvalue of the variable rate Term Loan and First Lien Term Loan approximateapproximates fair value because the interest rates fluctuaterate fluctuates with market rates.
5. Business Combination
On September 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of Healthcare Performance Improvement, LLC (“HPI”) in exchange for cash of $11.7 million, net of cash acquired. HPI provides patient safety and reliability consulting and coaching services. The acquisition brings the critical dimension of safety to the Company’s ability to help its clients reduce patient suffering.
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the total purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values (based on Level 3 measurements) as of September 1, 2015. The excess purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets was recorded to goodwill. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to assembled workforce and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, the provisional measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquisition:

Transaction expenses of $277,000 relating to the purchase are included in general and administrative expenses for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in connection with business combinations accounted for as a purchase and determined to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are instead tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment when impairment indicators are present. The Company believes that no such impairment indicators existed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Intangible asset amortization expense was $4.2 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015, and 2014 was $4.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $12.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The Company cannot reliably determine the pattern for which it consumes the benefit of its customer relationship intangible assets. As such, the Company amortizes its customer relationship intangible assets using the straight‑line method over the estimated lives based upon the Company’s historical customer retention and recurring revenue base.
The remaining estimated intangible asset amortization expense is $4.2 million in 2015, $16.5 million in 2016, $15.5 million in 2017, $14.0 million in 2018, $13.4 million in 2019 and $103.3 million thereafter. These amounts are based upon intangible assets recorded as of September 30, 2015 and actual amortization expense could differ from these estimates as a result of future acquisitions and other factors.

The $5.2 million decrease was primarily due to lower average borrowings in 2015 as a result of principal repayments from the proceeds of our IPO, which resulted in interest savings of approximately $3.0 million, and the payoff of our Second Lien Term Loan in May 2014, which resulted in interest savings of $1.3 million. Also contributing to the decrease were lower average interest rates on our borrowings as a result of our debt refinancings, which resulted in interest savings of approximately $700,000.
20
Extinguishment of debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we repaid the remaining balance of our Second Lien Term Loan. The transaction resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million consisting of the write off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.5 million, payments of fees to lenders of $497,000 and loss on original issue discount of $921,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we prepaid $223.0 million of the principal balance on our First Lien Term Loan with proceeds from the IPO and then repaid the remaining principal balance of $183.2 million with proceeds from the new Term Loan under the 2015 Credit Agreement. The transactions resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.7 million consisting of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.5 million and loss on original issue discount of $265,000.
Management fee of related party. We paid a management fee to our majority shareholder of $690,000 and $553,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The management fee was no longer required after the effective date of the IPO in May 2015.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes decreased $7.9 million, or 86.3%, from $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 represents federal and state income tax expense for the periods.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our effective income tax rate was 46.6% as compared to an effective income tax rate of 3.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Our federal statutory income tax rate and state statutory rate, net of federal benefit, is approximately 42%. The 2014 effective tax rate of 46.6% is primarily due to nondeductible equity-based compensation expense. The 2015 effective tax rate of 3.2% primarily reflects our expected net loss position for the full year of 2015 and the inability to realize a tax benefit from the nondeductible equity-based compensation expense incurred in connection with the modification of equity awards as a result of our IPO (see Note 11 – Equity-Based Compensation in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details).
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments to add back (i) items that terminated in connection with the IPO, (ii) non-cash charges, (iii) items that are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of the business and (iv) items that are solely related to changes in our capital structure, and therefore are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of the business.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for our employees, (iii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget, (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies and (v) to assess compliance with various metrics associated with the agreements governing our indebtedness. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in assessing our financial performance because this measure is similar to the metrics used by investors and other interested parties when comparing companies in our industry that have different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating performance in the same manner as our management.
21
Adjusted EBITDA is not determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP. The table below presents information for the periods indicated about our Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the table below (in thousands).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our principal uses of cash are to meet working capital requirements, fund debt obligations, finance capital expenditures, and fund strategic acquisitions. In addition, we expect to use cash to support our growth strategy and expenses that we expect to incur as a public company.fund strategic acquisitions. Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under our Revolver.Revolving Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had cash of $23.8$56.6 million and $74.9 million of available borrowings under our RevolverRevolving Credit Facility (after giving effect to a $65,000 letter of credit outstanding under our Revolver)Revolving Credit Facility). As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had $193.2$186.7 million of outstanding indebtedness (which includes capital leases).
We believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand and available borrowings under our RevolverRevolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs during the next twelve months and beyond. We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, it will be funded through the incurrence of indebtedness, including borrowings under our Revolver,Revolving Credit Facility, equity financings or a combination thereof. It is not guaranteed that we will be able to obtain this additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all. Our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and fund our capital requirements are also dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our senior secured credit facilities or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs. If we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell additional equity to finance such acquisitions.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities consistedconsists of net income adjusted for certain non‑cash items, including depreciation and amortization, equity‑based compensation, extinguishment of debt, and deferred income taxes, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

In 2014,2016, cash provided by operations primarily resulted from net earnings after adding back non-cash items offset by an increaseand a decrease in net working capital of $9.8$6.5 million. In 2015, cash provided by operations primarily resulted from net earnings after adding back non-cash items offset by an increase in net working capital of $2.1$7.9 million. The increase in cash flow from operationsprovided by operating activities in 20152016 as compared to the same period in 20142015 is due to an increase in profitability after adjusting for non-cash expenses, including a decrease in cash interest expense as a result of repayment of principal using proceeds from our IPO and refinancing our credit facilities at lower interest rates, and to a lesser extent an improvementnet increase in net working capital. Netcash from changes in working capital improved because of an increaseprimarily associated with changes in deferred revenue as a result of revenue growth.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our prospectus filed withAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the SEC on May 22,year ended December 31, 2015, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act, and in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. If actual amounts are ultimately different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes its critical accounting policies that reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, and equity-based compensation. See “Critical“Application of Critical Accounting Policies”Policies and Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our prospectus filed with the SECAnnual Report on May 22, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014 09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitledForm 10-K for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year to annual and interim reporting periods beginning afterended December 15, 2017. The FASB is permitting early adoption of the standard, but not until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, the original effective date. An entity may choose to adopt ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment as of the start of the first period for which it applies the standard. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and our method of adoption.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. In addition, this update changes the accounting for software licenses to be consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. An entity may choose to adopt this ASU either retrospectively or prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and our method of adoption.31, 2015.
2518
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2015-03 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. As of December 31, 2014, debt issuance costs of $977,000 were reclassified from deferred financing fees, net to long-term debt, less current portion on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”. This ASU added an SEC paragraph addressing the presentation of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements since ASU 2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff does not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. We adopted ASU 2015-15 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. There were no adjustments to the presentation of debt issuance costs relating to the line-of-credit arrangement and no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption of the new standard.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. This ASU requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this ASU require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act and we could remain an “emerging growth company” until as late as December 31, 2020. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our annual reports and proxy statements.
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our long‑term indebtedness. Our primary interest rate exposure relates to loans outstanding under our Term Loan and Revolver.Revolving Credit Facility. All outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan and RevolverRevolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate. Each quarter point change in interest rates on such indebtedness under our Term Loan would result in a change of $468,000$451,000 to our interest expense on an annual basis, based on our outstanding balance of $185.0$180.4 million (exclusive of the deferred financing fees) at September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. There were no borrowings under the RevolverRevolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. Assuming the $74.9 million of current borrowing capacity were drawn under the Revolver,Revolving Credit Facility, a hypothetical quarter point change in interest rates on such variable rate debt would change our annual interest expense by $187,000.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
UnderAs required by Rule 13a-15(b), under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reportingas defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time, we may be involved in various legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable and uncertain, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, are believed to, either individually or taken together, have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. Regardless of the outcome, litigation has the potential to have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock. There have been no material changes to theour risk factors previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” included insince our prospectus filed withAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the SEC on May 22, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act.year ended December 31, 2015.

All of the shares were sold pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-203248), that was declared effective by the SEC on May 20, 2015. Our common stock is currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PGND”.
