Description of Business:CBIZ, Inc. is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, has been providing professional business services since 1996, primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. CBIZ, Inc. manages and reports its operations along 3 practice groups;groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. A further description of products and services offered by each of the practice groups is provided in Note 13,12, Segment Disclosures, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation:The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of CBIZ, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“CBIZ”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements:The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

In the opinion of CBIZ management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2020.

2021.

Use of Estimates:The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates.

Changes in Accounting Policies: Except for the adoption of Topic 326, which required a change in our accounting policy, weWe have consistently applied the accounting policies for the periods presented as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.  Effective January 1, 2020, we changed our accounting policy for the valuation of accounts receivable allowances and available-for-sale securities as a result of adopting Topic 326 as described in Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements.2020.

The FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than the SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an accounting standard to communicate changes to the FASB codification. We assess and review the impact of all accounting standards. Any accounting standards not listed below were reviewed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020

Credit Losses: Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted Topic 326, which replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model that is referred to as the current expected credit loss model. The CECL model requires the Company to immediately recognize an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of financial instruments recorded at amortized cost, including trade receivables.

Topic 326 also amends the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale securities by requiring the recognition of credit loss impairments as an allowance rather than a write-down on available-for-sale securities. The length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists.

For financial instruments recorded at amortized cost, we did 0t recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as the adoption of Topic 326 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For available-for-sale securities, the updated guidance was applied prospectively.

Fair Value Measurement: On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard amends existing fair value measurement disclosure requirements by adding, changing, or removing certain disclosures. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes: On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Reference Rate Reform: In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.statements and have not adopted any of the transition relief available under the new guidance as of June 30, 2021.

Subsequently, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which provides optional temporary guidance for entities transitioning away from the LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to new reference rates so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions within Topic 848. This ASU clarifies that the derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions provided in Topic 848. ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately for all entities. Entities may elect to apply the amendments on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final update, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments provided in this ASU do not apply to contract modifications made, as well as new hedging relationships entered into, after December 31, 2022, and to existing hedging relationships evaluated for effectiveness for periods after December 31, 2022, except for certain hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that apply certain optional expedients in which the accounting effects are recorded through the end of the hedging relationship. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and have not adopted any of the transition relief available under the new guidance as of June 30, 2021.

NOTE 3. Accounts Receivable, Net

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

Accounts receivable, less the allowance for doubtful accounts, representsreflects the net amount expected to be collected.realizable value of receivables and approximates fair value. Unbilled revenues are recorded at estimated net realizable value. Assessing the collectability of the receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment based on a combination of factors, including but not limited to, an evaluation of our historical incurred loss experience, credit-worthiness of our clients, age of the trade receivable balance, current economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Receivables are charged-off against the allowance when the balance is deemed uncollectible.

We considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting macroeconomic conditions, client’s location, industry, and financial position in our estimation of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, we recorded bad debt expense due to the COVID-19 pandemic of $0.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

NOTE 4. Debt and Financing Arrangements

DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

2018 Credit Facility- Our primary financing arrangement is the $400 million unsecured credit facility (the “2018 credit facility” or the “credit facility”), which provides us with the capital necessary to meet our working capital needs as well as the flexibility to continue with our strategic initiatives, including business acquisitions and share repurchases. The 2018 credit facility matures in 2023. The balance outstanding under the 2018 credit facility was $120.0$163.3 million and $105.5$108.0 million at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. Effective interest rates, including the impact of interest rate swaps associated with the 2018 credit facility, were as follows:

Other Line of Credit- We have an unsecured $20.0 million line of credit by and among CBIZ Benefits and Insurance, Inc. and the Huntington National Bank. We utilize this line to support our short-term funding requirements of payroll client fund obligations due to the investment of client funds, rather than liquidating client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. The line of credit, which terminateswas renewed on August 6, 2020 and will terminate on August 5, 2021, did not0t have a balance outstanding at June 30, 2020. 2021. We intend to renew this line of credit. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 for additional details of our debt and financing arrangements.

NOTE 6. Financial Instruments

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Available-For-Sale Debt Securities- In connection with certain services provided by our payroll operations, we collect funds from our clients’ accounts in advance of paying client obligations. These
11


funds held for clients are segregated and invested in accordance with our investment policy, which requires all investments carry an investment grade rating at the time of initial investment. These investments, primarily consisting of corporate and municipal bonds, and US treasury bills, are classified as available-for-sale and are included in the “Funds held for clients” line item inon the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The par value of these investments totaled $37.1$24.8 million and $58.9$24.9 million at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, and had maturity or callable dates ranging from July 20202021 through November 2024.

2025.

At June 30, 2020,2021, unrealized losses on the securities totaling $0.1 millionwere not material and have not been recognized as a credit loss because the bonds are investment grade quality and management is not required or does not intend to sell prior to an expected recovery in value. The bond issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments.

Those depository assets are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Interest Rate Swaps- We utilize interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure associated with our floating-rate debt under the 2018 credit facility, or the forecasted acquisition of such liability. We do not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In March 2020, we entered into a new interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50 million and a fixed interest rate of 0.885%. Effective June 26, 2020, we terminated an existing interest rate swap with the notional value of $25 million, fixed interest rate of 1.30% and an expiration date of October 2020. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 for further discussion on our interest rate swapsswaps..

During the first quarter of 2021, 1 interest rate swap expired with a notional value of $10.0 million. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we have 43 interest rate swaps outstanding. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, we pay interest at a fixed rate of interest plus applicable margin as stated in the agreement, and receive interest that varies with the one-month LIBOR. The notional value, fixed rate of interest and expiration date of each interest rate swap as of June 30, 20202021 was (i) $10 million – 1.120% - February 2021, (ii) $20$20.0 million – 1.770% - May 2022, (iii) $15(ii) $15.0 million – 2.640% - June 2023 and (iv) $50(iii) $50.0 million - 0.885% - April 2025.

Contingent purchase price liabilities result from our business acquisitions and are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and are presented as “Contingent purchase price liabilityliabilities — current” and “Contingent purchase price liabilityliabilities — non-current” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair value of our contingent purchase price liabilities using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measure is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Fair value measurements characterized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value.

We probability weight risk-adjusted estimates of future performance of acquired businesses, then calculate the contingent purchase price based on the estimates and discount them to present value representing management’s best estimate of fair value. The fair value of the contingent purchase price liabilities areis reassessed quarterly based on assumptions provided by practice group leaders and

business unit controllers together with our corporate finance department. Any change in the fair value estimate is recorded in the earnings of that period. Refer to Note 11, Business Combinations, for further discussion of our acquisitions and contingent purchase price liabilities.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments, and the carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the bank debt is variable and approximates current market rates. As a result, the fair value measurement of our bank debt is considered to be Level 2.

Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) – PSUs are earned based on our financial performance over a contractual term of three years and the associated expense is recognized over that period based on the fair value of the award. A three-year cliff vesting schedule of the PSUs is dependent upon the Company’s performance relative to pre-established goals based on achievement of an earnings per share target (weighted 70%) and achievement of total growth in revenue (weighted 30%). The fair value of PSUs is calculated using the market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. For performance achieved above specified levels, the recipient may earn additional shares of stock, not to exceed 200% of the number of PSUs initially granted.

The goodwill


Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the aggregated purchase price and the fair value of $11.2 million and $2.2 million arising from the acquisitions innet assets acquired. Goodwill represents the first halfvalue of 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily results from expected future earnings and cash flows, from the existing management team, as well as the synergies created by the integration of the new business within our organization, including cross-selling opportunities expected with our Financial Services practice group and the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group, to help strengthen our existing service offerings and expand our market position. AllClient lists have an expected life of 10 years, and other intangibles, primarily non-compete agreements, have an expected life of 3 years.
The following table summarizes the goodwill is deductiblechanges in contingent purchase price consideration for income tax purposes.

Acquisitions of client lists - Duringprevious acquisitions and continent payments made for previous business acquisitions in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we purchased 2 client lists in the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group and 1 client list in the Financial Services practice group for total consideration of $0.6 million, of which $0.3 million is contingent.

Change in Contingent Purchase Price Liability for Previous Acquisitions - During the first half of 2020 and 2019, the fair value of the contingent purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions decreased by $0.2 million and by $0.2 million, respectively. These changes in fair value are attributable to subsequent measurement adjustments based on projected future results of the acquired businesses, net present value adjustments and changes in stock price. These adjustments are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Contingent Payments for Previous Business Acquisitions and Client Lists - We paid $5.9 million in cash and issued approximately 0.1 million shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020 for previous acquisitions. For the same period in 2019, we paid $11.3 million in cash and issued approximately 0.1 million shares of our common stock for previous acquisitions. For both the first half of 2020 and 2019, we paid approximately $0.3 million in cash for previous client list purchases.

Note 13. Segment Disclosures

NOTE 12. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
Our business units have been aggregated into 3 practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. The business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment in which they operate; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. A general description of services provided by each practice group is provided in the table below.

Corporate and Other - . Included in “Corporate and Other” are operating expenses that are not directly allocated to the individual business units. These expenses are primarily comprisedconsist of certain health care costs,
18


gains or losses attributable to assets held in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, stock-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, certain professional fees, certain advertising costs and other various expenses.

Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Upon consolidation, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated, thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on operating income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) excluding those costs listed above, which are reported in theas “Corporate and Other” segment.

.

Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 20192020 is presented below. We do not manage our assets on a segment basis, therefore segment assets are not presented below.

NOTE 14. LEASES

We determine if a contract is a lease at inception. We have leases for office space and facilities, automobiles, and certain information technology equipment. All of our leases are classified as operating leases and the majority of which are for office space and facilities.

Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 11 years. These leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from two to five years. Because the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise these renewal options, the options are not considered in determining the lease term, and associated potential option payments are excluded from lease payments.

A number of leased properties are owned indirectly by and leased from persons employed by the Company, none of whom are members of our senior management. In the aggregate, for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2020 and 2019, we made lease payments to those related parties of approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we”, “us”, “our”, "CBIZ" or the "Company" shall mean CBIZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its operating subsidiaries.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of our financial position at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and should also be read in conjunction with the disclosures and information contained in “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Overview

2020.

OVERVIEW
We provide professional business services, products and solutions that help our clients grow and succeed by better managing their finances and employees. These services are provided to businesses of various sizes, as well as individuals, governmental entities and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. We deliver integrated services through three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services, and National Practices. Refer to Note 13,12, Segment Disclosures, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a general description of services provided by each practice group.

Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 for further discussion of our business and strategies, as well as the external relationships and regulatory factors that currently impact our operations.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic as the disease spread throughout the world. As a provider of essential services, our primary concern is protecting the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate while assuring the continuity of our business operations to serve our clients’ needs.  

We announced a variety of measures to ensure the ongoing performance of our services to our clients while taking the necessary health and safety actions consistent with CDC guidelines starting in late February. As the COVID-19 situation evolved, these actions ultimately included bans on business travel, a migration to remote work conditions and multi-stage plans to bring our employees safely back to our offices. Our workforce is accustomed to remote work conditions and is equipped to continue to serve client needs throughout this period of time.

The widespread nature of these health related actions and the impact of these measures on the economy will create financial distress within our small and medium-size business client base and could cause a slowdown, write-down or write-off in client payments to us as a result. On March 25, 2020, we borrowed $210.0 million of the available capacity on our 2018 credit facility as a precautionary measure to preserve flexibility during this period of disruption and uncertainty. On May 21, 2020, we repaid $210.0 million that was borrowed during the first quarter and as a result, at June 30, 2020, we have unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $9.6 million, a balance outstanding under our credit facility of $120.0 million and available funds under credit facility of approximately $270.4 million. We have taken a number of measures to control costs and expenditures including suspension of share repurchase activity. The high degree of uncertainty, coupled with the challenges of remote work conditions, has caused a slowdown in acquisition activity as we work with potential acquisition candidates to assess next steps. We believe that we have ample liquidity, and we believe we are in strong financial condition at June 30, 2020; however, depending upon the severity and duration, the COVID-19 pandemic presents potential new risks to our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.

The recurring and essential nature of the majority of our business services provides stability to our financial results, and through the second quarter of 2020, there has been no material adverse impact on our financial results. The deferral of tax-related filing deadlines as a result of the enactment of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act will cause some tax compliance work to be delayed into third quarter. The sharp increase in unemployment within our client base will impact volumes and demand for certain of our services.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remain highly uncertain. The longer the pandemic and the governmental response remains impactful to economic activities in the United States and globally, the higher the possibility for a material adverse effect on our company. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

We also have the financing flexibility and the capacity to actively repurchase shares of our common stock.

We have completed four acquisitions for $43.1 million in cash and $4.1 million in our common stock. We also repurchased 1.22.1 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $31.1$66.5 million in the first half of 2020, but suspended2021.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

We sponsor a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, under which a CBIZ employee’s compensation deferral is held in a rabbi trust and invested accordingly as directed by the employee. Income and expenses related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan are included in “Operating expenses”, “Gross margin” and “Corporate general and administrative expenses” and are directly offset by deferred compensation gains or losses in “Other income, (expense), net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The non-qualified deferred compensation plan has no impact on “Income from continuing operations before income tax expense” or diluted earnings per share from continuing operations.

Revenue and Operating Expenses

The National Practices group is primarily driven by a cost-plus contract with a single client, which has existed since 1999. The cost-plus contract is a five yearfive-year contract with the most recent renewal through December 31, 2023. Revenues from this single client accounted for approximately 75% of the National Practice group’s revenue. ForDuring the second quarterthree and first half of 2020,six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue decreasedincreased by $0.1$0.5 million, or 0.9%5.8%, and increased $0.4by $0.8 million, or 2.2%4.4%, respectively, while operating expenses decreased $0.2increased by $0.5 million, or 2.6%6.2%, and increased $0.1by $0.8 million, or 0.4%.

4.6%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY

29

LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operating activities and financing activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by our operating results and changes in our working capital requirements while our cash flows from financing activities are dependent upon our ability to access credit or other capital. We historically maintain low cash levels and apply any available cash to pay down the outstanding debt balance. During the first quarter 2020, we drew $210.0 million on our existing line of credit in response to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty related to macroeconomic conditions and financial markets. We repaid the $210.0 million in the second quarter as we were generating sufficient cash flow to support our working capital, ongoing operating needs and other general corporate purposes.

We historically experience a use of cash to fund working capital requirements during the first quarter of each fiscal year. This is primarily due to the seasonal accounting and tax services period under the Financial Services practice group. Upon completion of the seasonal accounting and tax services period, cash provided by operations during the remaining three quarters of the fiscal year substantially exceeds the use of cash in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

Accounts receivable balances increase in response to the increase in first quartersix months revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group. A significant amount of this revenue is billed and collected in subsequent quarters. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of additional bad debt expense due to the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) from continuing operations represent accounts receivable and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period, divided by trailing twelve months daily revenue. We provide DSO data because such data is commonly used as a performance measure by analysts and investors and as a measure of our ability to collect on receivables in a timely manner. DSO was 8784 days and 9087 days at June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. DSO at December 31, 20192020 was 7572 days.

Operating ActivitiesActivities-

Cash provided by operating activities was $66.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and primarily due to net income of $58.8 million and certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expense of $12.9 million, deferred income tax of $5.4 million, and stock-based compensation expense of $5.5 million. The cash inflow was offset by working capital use of $7.0 million. Cash provided by operating activities was $55.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to $58.3 million of net income and certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expense, totaling $18.5 million.

Investing Activities

other investing activities, such as proceeds from sales of divested operations of $9.8 million.

Cash used in investing activities for the first half of 2019 consisted primarily of $6.9 million capital expenditures, $3.0 million net activity related to funds held for clients and $1.3 million used for business acquisitions.

The balances in funds held for clients and client fund obligations can fluctuate with the timing of cash receipts and the related cash payments. The nature of these accounts is further described in Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Capital Resources

CAPITAL RESOURCES
2018 Credit Facility -

At June 30, 2020,2021, we had $120.0$163.3 million outstanding under the 2018 credit facility as well as letters of credit and performance guarantees totaling $3.6$5.3 million. Available funds under the 2018 credit facility, based on the terms of the commitment, were approximately $270.4$233.4 million at June 30, 2020. 2021. The weighted average interest rate under the 2018 credit facility was 2.43%1.95% in the first half of 2020,2021, compared to 3.20%2.43% for the same period in 2019.2020. The 2018 credit facility allows for the allocation of funds for future strategic initiatives, including acquisitions and the repurchase of our common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2018 credit facility.

Debt Covenant Compliance -

We are required to meet certain financial covenants with respect to (i) total leverage ratio and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. We are in compliance with our financial covenants as of June 30, 2020.2021. Our ability to service our debt and to fund future strategic initiatives will depend upon our ability to generate cash in the future.

For further discussion regarding our 2018 credit facility and debt, refer to Note 4.4, Debt and Financing Arrangements, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Capital -

During theOur first halfpriority for use of 2020, we completed three acquisitions. Refercapital is to Note 11, Business Combinations, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion onmake strategic acquisitions. We also have the financing flexibility and the capacity to actively repurchase shares of our common stock. We believe that repurchasing shares of our common stock iscan be a prudent use of our financial resources, and that investing in our stock is an attractive use of capital and an efficient means to provide value to our stockholders. During the first half of 2020, weWe have completed four acquisitions for $43.1 million in cash and $4.1 million in our common stock. We also repurchased 1.22.1 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $31.1$66.5 million but suspendedduring the six months ended June 30, 2021. Refer to Note 11, Business Combinations, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further repurchase activities in mid-March as the COVID-19 pandemic began to have a severe impactdiscussion on macroeconomic conditions.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We maintain administrative service agreements with independent CPA firms (as described more fully under “Business – Financial Services” and in Note 1.1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019)2020), which qualify as variable interest entities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of CBIZ.

We provide letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of our leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits, which totaled $1.3$3.0 million and $1.7 million at both June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020, respectively. In addition, we provide license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding was $2.3 million and $2.2 million at both June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019 totaled $2.3 million.

2020, respectively.

We have various agreements under which itwe may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, related to matters such as title to assets sold and certain tax matters. Payment by us under such indemnification clauses is generally conditioned upon the other party making a claim. Such claims are typically subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse


against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we are not aware of any material obligations arising under indemnification agreements that would require payment.

Critical Accounting Policies

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. As more information becomes known, these estimates and assumptions could change, which would have an impact on actual results that may differ materially from these estimates and judgments under different assumptions. We have not made any changes into our critical accounting policies and estimates or judgments that have had a significant effect on the reported amounts as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

New Accounting Pronouncements

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Refer to Note 2.2, New Accounting Pronouncements, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Forward-Looking Statements

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, including without limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives for future performance are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms and phrases as "intends", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "projects", "anticipates", "foreseeable future", "seeks", and words or phrases of similar import in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, and financial results. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any other public statements that we make, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and operations and those of our clients; the Company’s ability to adequately manage and sustain its growth; the Company’s dependence on the current trend of outsourcing business services; the Company’s dependence on the services of its CEO and other key employees; competitive pricing pressures; general business and economic conditions; and changes in governmental regulation and tax laws affecting the Company’s insurance business or its business service operations. Such forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or assumptions materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.

Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. A more detailed description of risk factors may be found in “Item 1A.1A, Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC, such as quarterly, periodic and annual reports.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our floating rate debt under our 2018 credit facility exposes us to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. A change in the Federal Funds Rate, or the reference rate set by Bank of America, N.A., would affect the rate at which we could borrow funds under the credit facility. BalanceThe balance outstanding under our credit facility at June 30, 20202021 was $120.0$163.3 million, of which $25.0$78.3 million is subject to rate risk. If market rates were to increase or decrease 100 basis points from the levels at June 30, 2020,2021, interest expense would increase or decrease approximately $0.3$0.8 million annually.

We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments. We periodically use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate swaps effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting portions of itsour floating rate debt under the credit facility to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt or payment of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts.

At June 30, 2020,2021, we had fourthree interest rate swaps with notional values, fixed rates of interest and expiration dates of (i) $10.0 million – 1.120% - February 2021, (ii) $20.0 million – 1.770% - May 2022, (iii)(ii) $15.0 million – 2.640% - June 2023, and (iv)(iii) $50.0 million – 0.885% - April 2025, respectively. Management will continue to evaluate the potential use of interest rate swaps as we deem appropriate under certain operating and market conditions. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

In connection with the services provided by our payroll operations, funds collected from our clients’ accounts in advance are segregated and may be invested in short-term investments, such as corporate and municipal bonds. In accordance with our investment policy, all investments carry an investment grade rating at the time of the initial acquisition, and are classified as available-for-sale securities. At each respective balance sheet date, these investments are adjusted to fair value with fair value adjustments being recorded to other comprehensive income or loss and reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the respective period. If an investment is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to credit loss, then the adjustment is recorded to “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 6.6, Financial Instruments, and Note 7.7, Fair Value Measurements, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding these investments and the related fair value assessments.

Item

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation (“Controls Evaluation”) was done with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting (“Internal Controls”) will prevent all errorerrors and all fraud. Although our Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within CBIZ have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
33


persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Conclusions

Our Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, CBIZ’s Disclosure Controls were effective at that reasonable assurance level.

(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes into our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our current expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standard that was adopted on January 1, 2020. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of the standard. Refer to Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements, for further information. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that a portion of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Starting July 1, 2020, we are launching a new cloud-based accounting and financial reporting solution which includes general ledger, accounts payable, and fixed assets applications. As of June 30, 2020, we have successfully performed various end-user acceptance testing, including but not limited to, data validation, security, and employee training. However, the implementation of a new accounting and financial reporting solution could potentially affect the processes that constitute our internal controls over financial reporting and will require testing of such controls for effectiveness in the third quarter 2020.

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved is incorporated by reference from Note 5, Commitments and Contingencies, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 as filed with the SEC. These risks could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of CBIZ.

The widespread outbreak of a communicable illness or any other public health crisis could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may face risks related to public health threats or widespread outbreak of a communicable illness. A widespread outbreak of a communicable disease or a public health crisis could adversely affect the global and domestic economy and our business partners’ ability to conduct business in the United States for an indefinite period of time. For example, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic. The global spread of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the global economy and disrupted both financial markets and international trade. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in increased unemployment levels and significantly impacted global supply chain. In addition, federal, state, and local governments have implemented various mitigation measures, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, shelter-in-place restrictions, and limitations on business activities.  Although we are considered an essential business, some of these actions have adversely impacted the ability of our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers, and other business partners to conduct business activities, and could ultimately do so for an indefinite period of time. This could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, and will depend on numerous factors that we may not be able to predict, including:

the duration and severity of the pandemic;

governmental actions in response to the pandemic;

the impact of business and economic disruptions on our clients and their demand for our services; and

our clients’ ability to pay for our services.
