Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. There are no unconsolidated entities, or off-balance sheet arrangements other than certain guarantees supporting office leases and the performance under government contracts in the Company's European operations. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.notes, which could be impacted by existing market conditions and factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Such estimates include, but are not limitedprimarily relate to the recognition of revenue, leased assets and liabilities, the purchase accounting for acquisitions and the valuation of goodwill, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, actuarial assumptions including discount rates and expected rates of return on assets, as applicable, for the Company'sCompany’s defined benefit plans, the valuation of stock options and restricted stock for recording equity-based compensation expense, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions underlying stock option valuation, investment valuation, legal matters, other contingencies, and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts.contracts, as applicable. Management believes that the information and disclosures provided herein are adequate to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and shareholders’ equity of the Company.

The Company evaluated subsequent events from the date of the most recent balance sheet through the date of this filing. Through the date of this filing, about 10% of the Company’s billable resources have been idled by the COVID-19 pandemic. To offset this reduction in billable resources, during April 2020, the Company took a number of actions to reduce costs and mitigate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a full-time furlough of about 5% of its North American non-billable staff, and a reduced work schedule (20% furlough) for nearly all other non-billable staff, including senior management, that are not directly or indirectly related to business development. There are no other subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company promotes a significant portionmajority of its services through five5 vertical market focus areas: technology service providers, manufacturing, healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), financial services, and energy. The Company focuses on these five vertical areas as it believes that these areas are either higher growth markets than the general IT services market and the general economy, or are areas that provide greater potential for the Company’s growth due to the size of the vertical market. The remainder of CTG’s revenue is derived from general markets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers,clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with progress billing schedules (i.e. progress billing), primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the customer.client. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized over time using an input-based approach. Recognizing revenue over time best portrays the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer.client. On most fixed price contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that require the customerclient to pay for work performed to date, including cost plus a reasonable profit margin, for goods or services that have no alternative use to the Company. On certain contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that indicate the customerclient controls the asset, or work in process, as the Company creates or enhances the asset. On a given project, actual salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and compared with the total estimate of costs of such items at the completion of the project. Revenue is recognized based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs. The Company infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related costs that could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation. The Company’s estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project and experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates that affect the amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period. Losses on fixed-price projects are recorded when identified.


The Company’s revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing and percentage-of-completion methods as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the quarter and two quarters ended June 28,March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 and June 29, 2018 was as follows:

Significant Judgments

 

With the exception of cost estimates on certain fixed-price projects, there are no other significant judgments used to determine the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations or determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations. The Company allocates the transaction price based on standalone selling prices for contracts with customersclients that include more than one performance obligation. We determine standalone selling price based on the expected cost of the good or service plus margin approach. Certain customersclients may qualify for discounts and rebates, which we account for as variable consideration. We estimate variable consideration and reduce revenue recognized based on the amount we expect to provide to customers.clients.

 

Contract Balances

 

For time-and-material contracts and contracts with periodic billing schedules, the timing of the Company’s satisfaction of its performance obligations is consistent with the timing of payment. For these contracts, the Company has the right to payment in the amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company’s performance to date. The Company uses the practical expedient that allows the Companyit to recognize revenue in the amount for which it has the right to invoice for time-and-material contracts and contracts with periodic billing schedules. BillBilling schedules for fixed-price contracts are generally consistent with the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer.client. There are no significant financing components in contracts with customers.clients. The Company records advanced billings that represent contract liabilities for cash payments received in advance of performance on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Unbilled receivables are reported within “accounts receivable” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Accounts receivable and advanced billingsbilling balances fluctuate based on the timing of the customer’sclient’s billing schedule and the Company’s month-end date. There are no significant costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers.clients.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

 

As of June 28, 2019,March 27, 2020, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations for fixed-price and all managed-support contracts was approximately $12.3$11.0 million and $46.0$50.2 million, respectively. Approximately $26.1$34.7 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 2019. Approximately $32.22020 and approximately $26.5 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 20202021 and beyond. As the Company uses the “right to invoice” practical expedient, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

 


Taxes Collected from CustomersClients

 

In instances where the Company collects taxes from its customersclients for remittance to governmental authorities, primarily in its international locations, revenue and expenses are not presented on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements as such taxes are recorded in the Company's accounts on a net basis.


 

Fair Value

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid for a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities, as applicable, based upon three levels of input, which are:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable)

Level 2—inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be supported by observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable)

Level 3—unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable)

At June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash of $11.3$31.5 million and $12.4$10.8 million, respectively, approximated fair value.

As described in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of StarDust in the 2020 first quarter, Tech-IT in the 2019 first quarter and Soft Company in the 2018 first quarter. Level 3 inputs were used to estimate the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The valuation techniques used to assign fair values to intangible assets included the relief-from-royalty method and excess earnings method. In addition, the

The Company has a contingent consideration liability related to the earn-out provision of which a portion will be payable in each period subject to the achievement by Tech-IT of certain direct profit targets for fiscal 2019 and 2020. In addition, the Company has a remaining contingent consideration liability related to the earn-out provision of which a portion will be payable subject to the achievement by Soft Company of certain revenue and EBIT targets for fiscal 2017, 2018, and 2019. There is no payout if the achievement on eitherachievements are below the target is below a certain target threshold.thresholds. The fair value of thisthese contingent considerationconsiderations is determined using level 3 inputs. The fair value assigned to the contingent consideration liabilityliabilities is determined using the real options method, which requires inputs such as revenue forecasts, EBIT forecasts, discount rate, and other market variables to assess the probability of Tech-IT and Soft Company achieving the revenue and EBITtheir respective targets.  The Company also acquired Tech-ITStarDust in the 20192020 first quarter, and the Company anticipates completinghas begun the process of accounting for the acquisition and anticipates completion in the 2019 third2020 second quarter.

The Company is also allowed to elect an irrevocable option to measure, on a contract-by-contract basis, specific financial instruments and certain other items that are currently not being measured at fair value. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value provisions of this accounting standard for any specific contracts during the quarters ended June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 or JuneMarch 29, 2018.2019.

Life Insurance Policies

The Company has purchased life insurance on the lives of a number of former employees who are plan participants in the non-qualified defined benefit Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan. In total, there are policies on 18 individuals, whose average age is 7576 years old. Those policies have generated cash surrender value and the Company has taken loans against the policies. At June 28, 2019,March 27, 2020, these insurance policies have a gross cash surrender value of $28.8$29.9 million, outstanding loans and interest totaling $26.4$27.6 million, and a net cash surrender value of $2.4$2.3 million. At December 31, 2018,2019, these insurance policies had a gross cash surrender value of $28.4$29.7 million, outstanding loans and interest totaling $25.8$27.2 million, and a net cash surrender value of $2.6$2.5 million. The net cash surrender values are included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in “Cash surrender value of life insurance” under non-current assets.

 

At both June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the total death benefit for the remaining policies was approximately $37.6$37.7 million. Currently, upon the death of all of the remaining plan participants, the Company would expect to receive


approximately $10.9$9.8 million after the payment of obligations, and, under current tax regulations, record a non-taxable gain of approximately $8.5$7.5 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Cash Overdrafts

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. As the Company does not fund its bank accounts for the checks it has written until the checks are presented to the bank for payment, the "change in cash overdraft, net," line item as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows represents the increase or decrease in outstanding checks in a given period.


Accounts Receivable Factoring

As part of our working capital management, the Company has entered into a factoring agreement to sell certain trade accounts receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. We account for these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring agreement was approximately $11.9 million during the quarter ended March 27, 2020. Factoring fees for the sale of receivables were recorded in direct costs and were not material for the quarter ended March 27, 2020. There were no accounts receivable factoring activities during the quarter ended March 29, 2019.

The Company recorded $0.3 million of capitalized software costs during the quarter ended March 27, 2020 and less than $0.1 million of capitalized software costs during both the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and JuneMarch 29, 2018, respectively.2019. As of those dates, the Company had capitalized a total of $2.0$2.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for software projects developed for commercial use. Amortization periods range from two3 to five5 years, and are evaluated periodically for propriety. Amortization expense totaled approximately $0.1 million in the quarter ended March 27, 2020, and $0.3approximately $0.2 million in both the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and JuneMarch 29, 2018, respectively.2019. Accumulated amortization for these projects totaled $1.0 million and $0.8$0.9 million as of June 28,March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019, respectively.

During the 2020 first quarter, the Company received two unsolicited bids for its owned real estate, and June 29, 2018, respectively.is exploring a sale of the property. Accordingly, the Company recorded the building in “other current assets” as a held for sale asset, rather than in property, equipment and capitalized software at March 27, 2020.  As the sale price of the building is estimated to be $2.5 million, and the book value of the building is approximately $1.8 million, the Company expects to record a profit on the sale after related fees of about $0.6 million in the 2020 second quarter.

Guarantees

The Company has a number of guarantees in place in its European operations that support office leases and performance under government contracts. At both June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, these guarantees totaled approximately $2.7$3.0 million and generally have expiration dates ranging from July 2019March 2020 through December 2024.October 2034.

Goodwill

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease standard using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition method to apply the new lease standard as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting under Topic 840.

In addition, the Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to separate lease and non-lease components for its office leases and has elected to group lease and non-lease components for its vehicle leases. Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $13.1 million of operating lease right-of-use assets andlease liabilities. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), or its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The new lease standard does not affect the Company’s compliance with financial covenants associated with its debt agreement.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, including trade receivables.receivables, and replaces the existing incurred loss model. The new standard requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an asset, which considers relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. It requires entities to consider the risk of loss even if it is remote, which will result in the recognition of credit losses on assets that do not have evidence of deterioration. The allowance for credit losses will be the difference between the amortized cost balance of a financial asset and the amount of amortized cost expected to be collected over the remaining contractual life. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted the new credit loss standard on January 1, 2020. The Company estimated its allowance for credit losses by pooling assets with similar risk characteristics, reviewing historical losses within the last five years and taking into consideration any reasonable supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company cannot guarantee that the rate of future credit losses will be similar to past experience, but considers all available information when assessing the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses each quarter. As the impact that ASU 2016-13 will havefrom this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.the Company was immaterial, no adjustment was made to the beginning retained earnings balance.

 In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,”Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This


guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 for the year ending December 31, 2020 on a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s operations. 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract”, which helps entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 for the year ending December 31, 2020 on a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to the reference rate reform. It is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect a significant impact from the adoption of this standard as provisions have been made in our Credit and Security Agreement to use an alternate benchmark interest rate when the use of LIBOR is discontinued.

Operating LeasesLease Commitments

The Company records a right-of-use asset and liability for substantially all leases for which it is a lessee, in accordance with ASC 842. The Company is obligated under a number of long-term operating leases for office space and office equipment, and for automobiles leased in Europe.


On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition method to apply the new lease standard as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 840.

Most leases contain both lease components (fixed payments for rent) and non-lease components (common-area maintenance and other services). The Company has elected the practical expedient to separate lease and non-lease components for its office leases and has elected to group lease and non-lease components for its vehicle leases. Some leases contain renewal options with escalation clauses commensurate with local market fluctuations, however, generally limiting an annual increase to no more than 5.0% of the existing lease payment. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company has excluded renewal options in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities if they are not reasonably certain of exercise.

Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, short-term lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company measures the operating lease liabilities at lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments using the rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable, or the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates.rate. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset for leases with a lease term of twelve months or less and doesdo not include an option to purchase the underlying asset. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease expense in the period incurred. Variable lease cost consists primarily of common-area maintenance, insurance, and taxes, which are paid based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. Operating lease cost for the 2020 and 2019 second quarter and year-to-date periodfirst quarters was $1.7$1.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Operating lease expense in the 2018 second quarter and year-to-date period was $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The Company incurred variable lease cost of $0.2$0.1 million and $0.3$0.2 million, and short-term lease cost of $0.1 million and $0.3$0.2 million in the 2020 and 2019 second quarter and year-to-date period,first quarters, respectively.

Debt

The Company has a credit and security agreement (the “Credit and Security Agreement”) with its bank, which provides for a three-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $45.0 million, including a sublimit of $10.0 million for letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans.  

The Credit and Security Agreement expires in December 2020,2022, and has interest rates ranging from 150 to 200 basis points over LIBOR or the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal fundfunds effective rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) adjusted LIBOR plus 100 basis points plus a spread ranging from 50 to 100 basis points based on the amounts outstanding under the Credit and Security Agreement. The Company can borrow under the agreement with either rate at


its discretion. At June 28,March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and June 29, 2018, there was $17.0$12.0 million and $6.3$5.3 million outstanding under the Credit and Security Agreement, respectively. The Company borrows or repays its debt as needed based upon its working capital obligations, including the timing of the U.S. bi-weekly payroll.

The maximum amounts outstanding under its credit agreement in the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 secondfirst quarters were $22.3$12.0 million and $10.4$18.0 million, respectively, while borrowings during those quarters averaged $15.1$3.1 million and $3.5$10.3 million, respectively, and carried weighted average interest rates of 3.2%2.5% and 3.3%3.0%, respectively.

Under the Credit and Security Agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants in order to maintain borrowings under its revolving credit line, pay dividends, and make acquisitions. The covenants are measured quarterly, and at June 28, 2019,March 27, 2020, included a fixed charge coverage ratio, which must be lessgreater than 1.10 to 1.00,times consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) adjusted for equity-based compensation and severance expenses, must be no less than $5.0 million for the trailing twelve months, and capital expenditures for property, plant, equipment, and capitalized software must be no more than $5.0 million in any annual period. The fixed charge coverage ratio is only tested if availability on a measurement date is less than $5.625 million. Actual borrowings by CTG under the Credit and Security Agreement are subject to a borrowing base, which is a formula based on certain eligible receivables and reserves. Total availability as of June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 was approximately $22.6$5.4 million. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 as the fixed charge ratio was 35.0 to 1, the adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months was $8.6$12.9 million, and capital expenditures for property, equipment and capitalized software were $0.7 million in the first two quartersquarter of 2019.2020.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The 2020 and 2019 secondfirst quarter and year-to-date ETR was 36.6%39.0% and 35.3%, respectively, and the 2018 second quarter and year-to-date ETR was 27.8% and 26.1%33.3%, respectively.

The ETR was higher in the 2019 second2020 first quarter and year-to-date period as compared with the corresponding 2018 periods2019 period primarily due to non-deductible acquisition costs relatedthe full valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets, and taxable income in the Company’s European operations where the ETR is generally higher than that of the United States.

The Company elected to use the Tech-ITincremental cash tax savings approach when considering GILTI in its assessment of the realizability of its U.S. deferred tax assets. Based upon the Company’s recent history of U.S. losses for tax purposes, including a cumulative three-year loss in the U.S. as of March 27, 2020, and Soft Company acquisitions.uncertain profitability in future years, management has determined that it is likely that it will not realize the U.S. deferred tax assets, and a full valuation allowance against these assets continues to be recorded.

 The Company has not recorded a U.S. deferred tax liability for the excess book basis over the tax basis of its investments in foreign subsidiaries as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. The Company does not anticipate repatriating any funds from its foreign operations, as they are needed in the local operations to meet working capital demands.

Deferred Compensation and Other Benefits

The Company maintains a non-qualified defined benefit Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (ESBP) that provides certain former key executives with deferred compensation benefits, based on years of service and base compensation, payable during retirement. The plan was amended as of November 30, 1994, to freeze benefits for the participants in the plan at that time.

The Company retained certain potential obligations related to a contributory defined-benefit plan for its previous employees located in the Netherlands (NDBP) when the Company disposed of its subsidiary, CTG Nederland, B.V. Benefits paid are a function of a percentage of career average pay. This plan was curtailed for additional contributions in January 2003.

The Company also maintains a fully funded pension plan related to Belgium employees (BDBP). This is a plan with active employees and the Company expects to make future contributions.

As a result of the acquisition of Soft Company on February 15, 2018, the Company maintains an unfunded pension plan related to the current Soft Company employees (FDBP). The Company does not anticipate contributing to the plan in 2019. No2020. NaN benefit payments were made in 20182019 and noneNaN are expected to be paid in 2019.2020.

The ESBP is deemed to be unfunded as the Company has not specifically identified assets to be used to discharge the deferred compensation benefit liabilities. The Company has purchased insurance on the lives of certain plan participants in amounts deemed to be sufficient to reimburse the Company for the costs associated with the plan for those participants (see note 2 for “Life Insurance Policies”). The Company does not anticipate contributing to the plan other than for benefit payments as required in 20192020 and future years. In both of the 2020 and 2019 second quarter and year-to-date period,first quarters, the Company made benefit payments totaling approximately $0.2$0.1 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, and expects to make payments in 20192020 totaling approximately $0.6 million.  The Company made benefit payments totaling $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the 2018 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.

As the NDBP was curtailed for additional contributions in January 2003, no payments0 contributions were made in the 2019 year-to-date period, and no paymentsNaN are expected to be made in the remainder of 2019.2020.

The Company does not anticipate contributing to the NDBP in 2019. The assets for the NDBP are held by Aegon, a financial services firm located in the Netherlands. The Company maintains a contract with Aegon to insure future benefit payments of the NDBP; however, due to certain terms of the agreement and potential obligations to the Company, the NDBP has not been settled. The benefit payments to be made in 20192020 are expected to be paid by Aegon from plan assets. The assets for the plan are included in a general portfolio of government bonds, a portion of which is allocated to the NDBP based upon the estimated pension liability associated with the plan. The fair market value of the plan’s assets equals the contractual value of the NDBP at any point in time. The fair value of the assets is determined using a Level 3 methodology (see note 2 for “Fair Value”). In 2019,2020, the plan investments have a targeted minimum return to the Company of 4.0%, which is consistent with historical returns and the 4.0% return guaranteed to the participants of the plan. The Company, in conjunction with Aegon, intends to maintain the current investment strategy of investing plan assets solely in government bonds throughout 2019.2020.

The BDBP is considered fully funded. The Company made contributions of $0.1 million in both of the 2020 and $0.2 million in the 2019 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the 2018 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.first quarters. The Company made benefit payments totaling less than $0.1 million in both the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 secondfirst quarters and expects to make payments in 20192020 of less than $0.1 million.

The assets for the BDBP are held by Allianz, a financial services firm located in Belgium. The Company maintains a contract with Allianz to insure future benefit payments of the BDBP. Contributions made by the Company to Allianz are


based on employees’ current salaries. The benefit payments to be made in 20192020 are expected to be paid by Allianz from plan assets. The assets for the plan are included in the overall portfolio of assets held by Allianz. The fair market value of the plan’s assets equals the contractual value of the BDBP in any given year (which is the mathematical reserve held by Allianz). The fair value of the assets is determined using a Level 3 methodology (see note 2 “Fair Value”). Allianz does not guarantee a minimum return on the plan investments, whereas Belgian law sets a minimum return to be guaranteed to the participants of the plan.

The change in the fair value of plan assets for the plans for the quarters ended June 28,March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 and June 29, 2018 was as follows:

Industry Trends

The Company operates in one industry segment, providing ITinformation and technology-related services to its clients. At the highest level, CTG delivers services that are considered either IT solutions or IT and other staffing. The market demand for the Company’s services is heavily dependent on IT spending by major corporations, organizations and government entities in the markets and regions that it serves. The pace of technological change and changes in business requirements and practices of the Company’s clients all have a significant impact on the demand for the services that CTG provides. Competition for new engagements and pricing pressure has been and, management believes, will continue to be strong.

The Company promotes a significant portion of its services through five vertical market focus areas: technology service providers, manufacturing, healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), financial services, and energy. The Company focuses on these five vertical areas as it believes these either are higher growth markets than the general IT services market and the general economy, or are areas that provide greater potential for the Company’s growth due to the size of the vertical market. The remainder of CTG’s revenue is derived from general markets.

The IT services industry is extremely competitive and characterized by continuous changes in customerclient requirements and improvements in technologies. The Company’s competition varies significantly by geographic region, as well as by the type of service provided. Many of the Company’s competitors are larger than CTG, and have greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources. In addition, the Company frequently competes with a client’s own internal IT staff. The industry is impacted by the growing use of lower-cost offshore delivery capabilities (primarily India and other parts of Asia). Regularly, new IT products and services are introduced which may render the Company’s existing IT solutions and IT staffing services obsolete. The economic conditions in the markets we serve are continuously changing and may negatively affect our business if we cannot adapt to negative conditions as they occur. There can be no assurance that CTG will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers,clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with progress billing schedules (i.e. progress billing), primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the customer.client. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized over time using an input-based approach. Revenue recognition over time best portrays the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer.client. On most fixed price contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that require the customerclient to pay for work performed to date, including cost plus a reasonable profit margin, for goods or services that have no alternative use to the Company. On certain contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that indicate the customerclient controls the asset, or work in process, as the Company creates or enhances the asset. On a given project, actual salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and compared with the total estimate of costs of such items at the completion of the project. Revenue is recognized based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs. The Company infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related costs that could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation. The Company’s estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project and experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates that affect the amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period. Losses on fixed-price projects are recorded when identified.

The Company’s revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing and percentage-of-completion methods as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the quarters ended March 27, 2020 and year-to-date periods ended June 28,March 29, 2019 and June 29, 2018 was as follows:

The decrease was primarily due to several significant solutions projects ending in the 2019 year-to-date period as compared with 2018. The increase is primarily due to an increase in IT solutions services through organic growth in Europe and with


the addition of Tech-IT, which was acquired on February 6, 2019. There was also an increase in IT solutions services in North America, primarily in the Company’s healthcare vertical market as the Company began to see an increase in demand for its services during 2018, which continued throughout the first two quarters of 2019.fourth quarter.

The IT staffing decrease was primarily due the Company disengaging from a number of low margin, non-core staffing engagements in the 2019 year-to-date period as comparedfourth quarter and the first quarter of 2020, which is consistent with 2018. The IT staffing increase was primarily duethe Company’s overall plan to transform to a solutions-centric organization.

Although the addition of Soft CompanyCOVID-19 pandemic had relatively limited financial impact on the business in the 20182020 first quarter, the Company expects a more pronounced effect on both our clients’ operations and growth in IT staffing servicesCTG’s business beginning in the second quarter as approximately 10% of the Company’s North Americanbillable resources have been idled by the pandemic as of the date of this filing. At this time, the Company does not have any clear visibility into the magnitude of the potential downturn of its operations, either in the Company’s technology services vertical market.second quarter or in the remainder of 2020.  The Company, however, in anticipation of lower revenue has taken steps to reduce its expenses beginning in April 2020, with a full-time furlough of certain non-billable employees, and a 20% furlough of nearly all other non-billable employees, including the senior management team.  Additionally, all discretionary spending has been eliminated, and business travel has been restricted. Finally, the Company is actively participating in government-sponsored programs in its European operations, including Belgium, France and Luxembourg, that will partially reimburse the Company for employees who have been made idle as a result of the pandemic.

The Company includes all billable consultants, consisting of both employees and subcontractors, and its support services in its headcount totals. CTG’s headcount at June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 was approximately 4,000, an 8% decrease from 4,350 which wasat March 29, 2019, and a 4.8%1% increase from approximately 4,150 employees3,950 at both June 29, 2018, and December 31, 2018.

Revenue2019. The decrease in headcount year-over-year is primarily due to the Company’s plan to move away from its low margin staffing business. The increase in headcount in the Company’s European operations increased significantly in the 2019 second2020 first quarter and year-to-date period as compared with the corresponding 2018 periods primarilyDecember 31, 2019 was due to the acquisition of StarDust, a strong increasesmall testing solutions company, with locations in IT solutionsFrance and IT staffing demand across a number of the Company’s vertical markets, and the addition of Tech-IT, which was acquired on February 6, 2019.Canada.


The revenue increasedecrease in Europe in the countries in which the Company operates (Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom) was negativelyfurther impacted in the 2019 second2020 first quarter and year-to-date period by the strength of the U.S. dollar as compared with the value of the Euro, the currency used in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, and the British pound, used in the United Kingdom. If there had been no change in these exchange rates from the 2018 second2019 first quarter to the 2019 second2020 first quarter, total European revenue would have been approximately $2.4$1.1 million higher and operating income would have beenincreased by less than $0.1 million higher.  If there had been no change in the rates from the 2018 year-to-date period to the corresponding 2019 period, total revenue would have been $5.5 million higher, and operating income would have been $0.2 million higher.million.

The Company continues to assess the potential impact, if any, that the United Kingdom’s proposed exit from the European Union (Brexit) will have on its operations. To date, there has been a nominal impact on the Company’s operating results from Brexit. As the total revenue generated by our British subsidiary is immaterial as compared with the Company’s total consolidated revenue, we do not expect the impact of the pending exit to have a material impact on the Company’s operations.

In the 2019 second2020 first quarter, and year-to-date period, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) was the Company’s largest customerclient and accounted for $21.1$19.9 million or 21.1% and $42.0 million and 21.3%, respectively,22.9% of consolidated revenue. This compares with $21.9$20.9 million or 23.6% and $40.8 million or 23.2%21.6% of consolidated revenue respectively, in the comparable 2018 periods.2019 period. The National Technical Services Agreement with IBM expirespreviously expired on December 31, 2019. The Agreement with IBM was extended for six months and now expires on July 3, 2020. The Company’s accounts receivable from IBM at June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 totaled $24.2$10.0 million and $22.1$23.0 million, respectively.

No other customerclient accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenue during the 2020 or 2019 or 2018 second quarters or year-to-date periods.first quarters.

Direct costs, defined as the costs for billable staff including billable out-of-pocket expenses, were 81.7% and80.4% of revenue in the 2020 first quarter, as compared with 81.8% of revenue in the 2019 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, as compared with 81.0% and 80.9% of revenue in the 2018 corresponding periods, respectively.period.

Improving margins is part of the Company’s solutions-centric strategy.  The direct profit margin on IT solutions business improved about 250 basis points in the 2020 first quarter as compared with the 2018 corresponding periods primarily due to lower utilization of billable resources in several ofprior year period.  Additionally, the Company’s operating units.direct profit margin on IT and other staffing business improved 96 basis points as compared with the prior year.

The decreaseincrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue year-over-year is primarily due to the loss of operating leverage with a continued focus on disciplined cost management.decrease in revenue of $10.3 million year-over-year. Overall SG&A expense was $1.6 million less in the 2020 first quarter as compared with the prior year quarter as the Company actively worked to manage its costs to offset the impact of the lower revenue.

Consolidated operating income was 1.8%2.4% of revenue in the 2020 first quarter, compared with 1.2% of revenue in the 2019 second quarter, compared with 1.6% of revenue in the 2018 second quarter, and 1.5% in the 2019 year-to-date period, as compared with 1.2% in the corresponding 2018 period.first quarter.


The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The 2019 second2020 first quarter and year-to-date ETR was 36.6% and 35.3%39.0%, respectively, and the 2018 second2019 first quarter and year-to-date ETR was 27.8% and 26.1%, respectively.

33.3%. The ETR was higher in the 2019 second2020 first quarter and year-to-date period as compared with the corresponding 2018 periods2019 period primarily due to non-deductible acquisition costs related to the Tech-ITvaluation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets, and Soft Company acquisitions.taxable income in the Company’s European operations where the ETR is generally higher than that of the United States.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s significant accounting policies, along with the underlying assumptions and judgments made by the Company’s management in their application, have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company identifies its critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by management regarding estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. The


Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to income taxes, specifically relating to the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes.

Income Taxes—Valuation Allowances on Deferred Tax Assets

At June 28, 2019,March 27, 2020, the Company had a total of approximately $0.7$0.4 million of deferred tax assets, and approximately $1.5$2.0 million of deferred tax liabilities, recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The deferred tax assets, net, primarily consist of deferred compensation, loss carryforwards and state taxes. The changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period are determined based upon the changes in differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of assets and liabilities for tax purposes, as measured by the expected tax rates when these differences are estimated to reverse. The Company has made certain assumptions regarding the timing of the reversal of these assets and liabilities, and whether taxable income in future periods will be sufficient to recognize all or a part of any gross deferred tax asset of the Company.

At June 28, 2019,March 27, 2020, the Company had deferred tax assets recorded resulting from net operating losses in previous years totaling approximately $1.0$0.6 million. The Company has analyzed each jurisdiction’s tax position, including forecasting potential taxable income in future periods and the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards as applicable, and determined that it is unclear whether all of these deferred tax assets will be realized at any point in the future. Accordingly, at June 28, 2019,March 27, 2020, the Company had offset a portion of these assets with a valuation allowance totaling $0.3 million, resulting in a net deferred tax asset from net operating loss carryforwards of $0.7$0.3 million.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and their potential realizability are evaluated each quarter to determine if any changes should be made to the valuation allowance. Any change in the valuation allowance in the future could result in a change in the Company’s ETR. A 1% change in the ETR in the 2019 second2020 first quarter and year-to-date period would have increased or decreased net income by approximately $15,000 and $24,000, respectively.$18,800.

Other Estimates

The Company has also made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the FASB, and other regulatory authorities. Such estimates primarily relate to the recognition of revenue, leased assets and liabilities, the purchase accounting for acquisitions and the valuation of goodwill, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, actuarial assumptions including discount rates and expected rates of return on assets, as applicable, for the Company’s defined benefit plans, the valuation of stock options and restricted stock for recording equity-based compensation expense, allowancesthe allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, legal matters, other contingencies, and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, as applicable. As future events and their effect on the Company's operating results cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in the economic climates in which the Company operates may affect these estimates and will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in the event they occur.


Financial Condition and Liquidity

On August 9, 2019, the Company filed this Form 10-Q with the SEC for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2019. Previously, the Company reported its results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and financial position for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2019 with a financial press release dated July 23, 2019, filed with the SEC under Form 8-K. Upon filing this Form 10-Q, the Company recorded an additional $1.6 million of operating lease right-of-use assets, fully offset by $0.3 million of additional short-term operating lease liabilities and $1.3 million of long-term operating lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet for June 28, 2019. There were no changes to the Company’s results of operations or comprehensive income (loss), or any other changes to the balance sheets previously included in the financial press release date July 23, 2019.

Cash used inprovided by operating activities was $5.1$19.2 million in the 2020 first quarter, and $0.3 million in the 2019 year-to-date period, compared with cash used in operating activities of $6.8 million in the 2018 corresponding period. In 2019,2020, net income was $1.6$1.1 million, while other non-cash adjustments, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization expense, equity-based compensation, deferred income taxes, and deferred compensation totaled $1.9$1.3 million. In 2018,2019, net income was $1.4$0.6 million, while the corresponding non-cash adjustments totaled $2.3$1.1 million.

The accounts receivable balance increased $5.9 million and $9.2decreased $18.2 million in the 2020 first quarter, and increased $1.6 million in the 2019 and 2018, respectively.first quarter. The decrease in the accounts receivable balance in the 2020 first quarter primarily resulted from an advance collections program that the Company entered into with its largest client during the 2020 first quarter, where $11.9 million was paid before the normal due date. Additionally, the decrease was due to a decrease in revenue of 10.6% as compared with the corresponding 2019 quarter. The increase in the accounts receivable balance in the 2019 first quarter primarily resulted from an increase in revenue of 8.4% in the 2019 second quarter17.6% as compared with the corresponding 2018 quarter. There was also an increase in days sales outstanding (DSO) of two days in 2019 to 83 days from 81 days at December 31, 2018. The increase in the accounts receivable balance in 2018 primarily resulted from an increase in revenue of 22.7% in the 2018 second quarter as compared with the corresponding 2017first quarter. The increase in revenue in 20182019 was partially offset by DSOdays sales outstanding (DSO) decreasing fivefour days to 8178 days in 20182019 from 8682 days at December 31, 2017.2018.


Prepaid and other current assets increased $1.2$1.0 million and $0.5decreased less than $0.1 million in the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 periods,first quarters, respectively, due to payments made early in each respective year that are then expensed throughout the year.

The accounts payable balance decreased $2.3$2.5 million and $1.2$2.9 million in the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 periods,first quarters, respectively, primarily due to the timing of certain payments near the end of the quarter of each year as compared with the prior quarter-end. Accrued compensation increased $2.1$1.0 million and $0.7$4.4 million in the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 periods,first quarters, respectively, primarily due to higher headcount in each of the respective years compared with the corresponding prior periods. Income taxes payable/receivable increased $0.7 million and $0.2 million in the 2020 and 2019 first quarters, respectively. The increase in the balance in 2020 reflected higher taxable income in the 2020 first quarter. Advance billings decreased $0.4 million in the 2020 first quarter, and increased $1.1 million in the 2019 first quarter. The change in advance billings in any given period is determined by the nature and type of existing projects, and the advance payments, if any, associated with those projects.

Investing activities used $9.1$4.7 million and $12.0$8.7 million of cash in the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 periods,first quarters, respectively. Cash paid for the acquisition of StarDust, net of cash acquired, was approximately $4.0 million in the 2020 first quarter. Cash paid for Tech-IT, net of cash acquired, was approximately $8.5 million in the 2019 first quarter. Cash paid for Soft Company, net of cash acquired was approximately $13.7 million in the 2018 first quarter. The Company used cash for additions to property, equipment, and capitalized software of $0.7 million and $1.3$0.3 million in the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 periods,first quarters, respectively. The Company has no significant commitments for the purchase of property and equipment at June 28, 2019, but does expectMarch 27, 2020. Subsequent to the amountend of the 2020 first quarter, the Company entered into an agreement to be spent insell its owned real estate for $2.5 million.  As the remaining six monthsvalue of 2019 on additions to property, equipment and capitalized software to increase from the amount spent in the first half of 2019. The Company receivedbuilding is approximately $1.8 million, the Company expects to record a gain of proceedsabout $0.6 million, after fees, from the sale of its corporate administrative building in the first quarter of 2018. In addition, the Company received approximately $1.1 million of proceeds from a life insurance policy on a former executive in the 2018 first2020 second quarter.

Financing activities provided $13.4$6.3 million of cash in 2019the 2020 first quarter and $17.6$9.5 million in 2018.the 2019 first quarter.

In 2018, the Company2020 first quarter, while cash borrowed approximately $28.4 million against the cash surrender value of its life insurance policies, primarily to return capital to shareholders through the “Dutch Auction” tender offer, fund the acquisition of Soft Company, and for general working capital purposes.Tech-IT netted to $9.7 million in the 2019 first quarter. Payments made to taxing authorities that represent the value of shares withheld for taxes in employee equity-based compensation transactions totaled $0.2 million and $0.3$0.1 million in both the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 periods,first quarters, respectively. Cash overdrafts relate to the amount of outstanding checks at a point in time, and netted to approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million in the 2020 and ($0.6) million in 2019 and 2018,first quarters, respectively. The Company did not repurchase shares for treasury under its buyback program in 2019. The Company used approximately $13.8 million to purchase 1.6 million shares for treasury under its buyback program in 2018.either of the 2020 or 2019 first quarters. As of June 28, 2019,March 27, 2020, $7.7 million was available under the Company's authorization to purchase shares in future periods.

The Company’s Credit and Security Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $45.0 million, including a sublimit of $10.0 million for letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans.


The Credit and Security Agreement expires in December 2020,2022, and has interest rates ranging from 150 to 200 basis points over LIBOR or the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal fundfunds effective rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) adjusted LIBOR plus 100 basis points plus a spread ranging from 50 to 100 basis points based on the amounts outstanding under the Credit and Security Agreement. The Company can borrow under the agreement with either rate at its discretion. At June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, there was $17.0$12.0 million and $3.6$5.3 million outstanding under the Credit and Security Agreement, respectively. The

Generally, the Company borrows or repays its debt as needed based upon its working capital obligations, including the timing of the U.S. bi-weekly payroll. However, during the 2020 first quarter, given the potential negative financial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company drew down $12.0 million under its revolving credit agreement to improve its cash position at quarter-end, and provide working capital in the event of a significant financial downturn in the 2020 second quarter, or remainder of the year.  This borrowing brought the Company’s consolidated cash balance to $31.5 million, the highest total in nearly five years.

The maximum amounts outstanding under its credit agreement in the 2020 and 2019 and 2018 second firstquarters was $22.3were $12.0 million and $10.4$18.0 million, respectively, while borrowings during those quarters averaged $15.1$3.1 million and $3.5$10.3 million, respectively, and carried weighted average interest rates of 3.2%2.5% and 3.3%3.0%, respectively. 

Under the Credit and Security Agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants in order to maintain borrowings under its revolving credit line, pay dividends, and make acquisitions. The covenants are measured quarterly, and at June 28, 2019,March 27, 2020, included a fixed charge coverage ratio, which must be less than 1.10 to 1.00,times consolidated


earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the trailing twelve months adjusted for equity-based compensation and severance expenses, must be no less than $5.0 million for the trailing twelve months, and capital expenditures for property, plant, equipment, and capitalized software must be no more than $5.0 million in any annual period. The fixed charge coverage ratio is only tested if availability on a measurement date is less than $5.625 million. Actual borrowings by CTG under the Credit and Security Agreement are subject to a borrowing base, which is a formula based on certain eligible receivables and reserves. Total availability as of June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 was approximately $22.6$5.4 million. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 as the fixed charge ratio was 35.0 to 1, the adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months was $8.6$12.9 million and capital expenditures for property, equipment and capitalized software were $0.7 million in the 2019 year-to-date period.2020 first quarter. The Company was also in compliance with its covenants at JuneMarch 29, 2018.2019.

Of the total cash and cash equivalents reported on the consolidated balance sheet at June 28, 2019March 27, 2020 of $11.3$31.5 million, approximately $10.6$14.7 million was held by the Company’s foreign operations. Earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in those operations. The Company has not repatriated any of its cash and cash equivalents from its foreign operations in the past five years, and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future as the funds are required to meet the working capital needs of its foreign operations.

The Company believes existing internally available funds, cash potentially generated from future operations, and funds available under the Company's Credit and Security Agreement (subject to collateral limits) totaling $22.6$32.8 million will be sufficient to meet foreseeable working capital and capital expenditure needs, fund stock repurchases, pay a dividend (if any are declared), fund acquisitions, and allow for future internal growth and expansion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions in the 2020 or 2019 or 2018 secondfirst quarters other than guarantees in our European operations that support office leases and the performance under government contracts. These guarantees totaled approximately $2.7$3.0 million at June 28, 2019.March 27, 2020.

Contractual Obligations

The Company did not enter into any significant contractual obligations during the quarter or year-to-date period ended June 28, 2019.March 27, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease standard using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition method to apply the new lease standard as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting under Topic 840.

In addition, the Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The


Company has also elected the practical expedient to separate lease and non-lease components for its office leases and has elected to group lease and non-lease components for its vehicle leases. Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $13.1 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and $13.0 million of lease liabilities. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The new lease standard does not affect the Company’s compliance with financial covenants associated with its debt agreement.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, including trade receivables. The allowance for credit losses will be the difference between the amortized cost balance of a financial asset and the amount of amortized cost expected to be collected over the remaining contractual life. When determining the allowance, expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial assets will be estimated considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.  Subsequent changes in the allowance will be recorded through the income statement as an expense adjustment. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted the new credit loss standard on January 1, 2020. As the impact thatfrom this standard on the Company was immaterial, no adjustment was made to the beginning retained earnings balance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 will have2017-04,”Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 for the year ending December 31, 2020 on a prospective basis and does not expect a significant impact from the adoption of this standard.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract”, which helps entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020 and does not expect a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.operations from the adoption of this standard.


In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to the reference rate reform. It is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect a significant impact from the adoption of this standard as provisions have been made in our Credit and Security Agreement to use an alternate benchmark interest rate when the use of LIBOR is discontinued.

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposure consists of foreign currency exchange risk associated with the Company’s European operations.

Revenue in the Company’s European operations in the 2019 second quarter as compared with the corresponding 2018 period significantly increased primarily due to an increase in IT solutions and staffing work across a number of the Company’s vertical markets and the integration of Tech-IT, which was acquired on February 6, 2019. The revenue increasedecrease in Europe in the countries in which the Company operates (Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom) was negativelywere further impacted in the 2019 second2020 first quarter and year-to-date period by the strength of the U.S. dollar as compared with the value of the Euro, the currency used in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, and the British pound, the currency used in the United Kingdom. If there had been no change in these exchange rates from the 2018 second2019 first quarter to the 2019 second2020 first quarter, total European revenue would have been approximately $2.4$1.1 million higher and operating income would have been approximatelyless than $0.1 million higher.  If there had been no change in the rates from the 2018 year-to-date period to the corresponding 2019 period, total revenue would have been $5.5 million higher, and operating income would have been $0.2 million higher.

The Company has historically not used any market risk sensitive instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange risk. The Company believes the market risk related to intercompany balances in future periods will not have a material effect on its results of operations.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S., Western Europe, and India, which includes all of our operations. The impact from the rapidly changing market, and economic and regulatory conditions due to the COVID-19 outbreak is uncertain, disrupting the business of our clients, and will impact our business and consolidated results of operations, and could impact our financial condition in the future. As of May 6, 2020, approximately 10% of our billable resources have been idled by the pandemic, and the Company has taken measures, including part-time and full-time furloughs, to offset the potential impact of this reduction in revenue. While we have not incurred significant disruptions or financial impacts thus far from the COVID-19 outbreak, we are unable to accurately predict the impact that COVID-19 will have due to numerous uncertainties. These include the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact to the business of our clients, the demand for IT services overall, and other factors. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact to our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.

There were no other material changes in the Company's risk factors from those previously disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018.2019.
