BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ' |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Hudson Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of operating revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge and judgments. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. |

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, “Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes" ("FASB ASC Topic 740"). This update clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect that its adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 provides clarification regarding whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation - Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters - Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a reporting entity either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that constitute a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that its adoption of ASU 2013-05 will have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Incentive Compensation Plan | |||||||||||||||||
The Company maintains the Hudson Global, Inc. 2009 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan, as amended and restated on April 26, 2012 (the “ISAP”), pursuant to which it can issue equity-based compensation incentives to eligible participants. The ISAP permits the granting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and other types of equity-based awards. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) will establish such conditions as it deems appropriate on the granting or vesting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other types of equity-based awards. The Company grants primarily restricted stock to its employees, although the Company has recently also granted restricted stock units to certain of its employees. A restricted stock unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock and is payable only in common stock of the Company issued under the ISAP. | |||||||||||||||||
The Compensation Committee administers the ISAP and may designate any of the following as a participant under the ISAP: any officer or other employee of the Company or its affiliates or individuals engaged to become an officer or employee; consultants or other independent contractors who provide services to the Company or its affiliates; and non-employee directors of the Company. As of September 30, 2013, there were 2,115,185 shares of the Company’s common stock available for future issuance under the ISAP. | |||||||||||||||||
A summary of the quantity and vesting conditions for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards granted to the Company's employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
Vesting conditions | Number of Shares of Restricted Stock Granted | Number of Restricted Stock Units Granted | Total | ||||||||||||||

Total shares of stock award granted | 843,321 | 65,200 | 908,521 | ||||||||||||||
-1 | The performance vesting conditions with respect to the restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards may be satisfied as follows: | ||||||||||||||||
(a) | 50% of the shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “Take-out Ratio,” defined as the percentage of the direct, front line costs incurred for the year ending December 31, 2013 divided by the gross margin for the year ending December 31, 2013; | ||||||||||||||||
(b) | 25% of the shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by an employee engagement score for the year ending December 31, 2013 based on an employee survey to be conducted by a human resources consulting firm; | ||||||||||||||||
(c) | 25% of the shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by “Cash Efficiency,” defined as (1) cash flow from operations for the year ending December 31, 2013 divided by (2) gross margin minus selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ending December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||
-2 | To the extent shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units are earned based on the performance vesting conditions, such shares or share units will vest on the basis of service as follows: | ||||||||||||||||
(a) | 33% of the shares or share units will vest on the later of the first anniversary of the grant date or the determination that the performance conditions have been satisfied; | ||||||||||||||||
(b) | 33% of the shares or share units will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date; | ||||||||||||||||
(c) | 34% of the shares or share units will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date; provided that, in each case, the grantee remains employed by the Company from the grant date through the applicable service vesting date. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company also maintains the Director Deferred Share Plan (the “Director Plan”) pursuant to which it can issue restricted stock units to its non-employee directors. A restricted stock unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock and is payable only in common stock issued under the ISAP upon a director ceasing service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted 102,200 restricted stock units to its non-employee directors pursuant to the Director Plan. The restricted stock units vest immediately upon grant and are credited to each of the non-employee director's retirement accounts under the Director Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units was as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

INCOME TAXES | |||
Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 270, “Interim Reporting”, and ASC 740-270, “Income Taxes – Intra Period Tax Allocation”, the Company is required to adjust its effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the full year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. Applying the provisions of ASC 270 and ASC 740-270 could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. | |||
Effective Tax Rate | |||
The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $6 on a pre-tax loss of $19,093, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $3,770 on pre-tax loss of $8,762 for the same period in 2012. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 0.0% and 43.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the Company's inability to benefit from losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and a reduction of FIN 48 liabilities in the 2012 period in connection with a state tax settlement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | |||
Uncertain Tax Positions | |||
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $3,956 and $3,845, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, which if recognized in the future, would lower the Company’s annual effective income tax rate. Accrued interest and penalties were $761 and $701 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Estimated interest and penalties are classified as part of the provision for income taxes in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and totaled to a provision of $73 and a benefit of $881 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||
In many cases, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. Tax years with net operating losses ("NOLs") remain open until such losses expire or until the statutes of limitations for those years when the NOLs are used expire. As of September 30, 2013, the Company's open tax years, which remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities, were principally as follows: | |||
Year | |||
Earliest tax years which remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities: | |||
U.S. Federal | 2010 | ||
Majority of other U.S. state and local jurisdictions | 2009 | ||
United Kingdom | 2011 | ||
Australia | 2009 | ||
Majority of other foreign jurisdictions | 2007 | ||
The Company believes that its tax reserves are adequate for all years that remain subject to examination or are currently under examination. | |||
Based on information available as of September 30, 2013, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease in the range of $400 to $650 over the next 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and controversies and potential expirations of the applicable statutes of limitations. |

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE | |||||||||||||||||
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. When the effects are not anti-dilutive, diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the impact of all dilutive potential common shares, primarily stock options “in-the-money” and unvested restricted stock. The dilutive impact of stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested restricted stock units is determined by applying the “treasury stock” method. Performance-based restricted stock awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions: (i) are satisfied prior to the end of the reporting period; or (ii) would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. Stock awards subject to vesting or exercisability based on the achievement of market conditions are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only when the market conditions are met. | |||||||||||||||||
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

In January 2012, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer approved a $1,000 plan of reorganization (“2012 Plan”) to streamline the Company’s support operations in each of the Hudson regional businesses to match the aggregated operating segments and to improve support services to the Company’s regional and global professional business practices. The 2012 Plan primarily includes costs for actions to reduce support functions to match them to the revised operating structure. In April 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an addition to the 2012 Plan of up to $10,000 for additional actions to accelerate the Company’s plans for increased global alignment and redirection of resources from support to client facing activities. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had incurred a total of $5,453 under the 2012 Plan. In February 2013, the Board approved a further increase of up to $4,000 for additional actions under the 2012 Plan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, restructuring charges associated with these initiatives for the 2012 Plan primarily included employee separation costs for the elimination of 59 positions and a lease termination payment. The headcount reductions identified in this action were completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the related payments are expected to be principally completed in the first half of 2014. The payments include, but are not limited to, salaries, social pension fund payments, health care and unemployment insurance costs to be paid to or on behalf of the affected employees. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s Board approved other reorganization plans in 2009, 2008, and 2006 (“Previous Plans”) to streamline the Company’s support operations and included actions to reduce support functions to match them to the scale of the business, to exit underutilized properties and to eliminate contracts for certain discontinued services. These actions resulted in costs for lease termination payments, employee termination benefits and contract cancellations.

Consulting, Employment and Non-compete Agreements | ||||||||
The Company has entered into various consulting, employment and non-compete agreements with certain key management personnel and former owners of acquired businesses. Agreements with key members of management are generally one year in length, on an at-will basis, provide for compensation and severance payments under certain circumstances and are automatically renewed annually unless either party gives sufficient notice of termination. Agreements with certain consultants and former owners of acquired businesses are generally two to five years in length. | ||||||||
Litigation and Complaints | ||||||||
The Company is subject, from time to time, to various claims, lawsuits, contracts disputes and other complaints from, for example, clients, candidates, suppliers, landlords for both leased and subleased properties, former and current employees, and regulators or tax authorities arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company routinely monitors claims such as these, and records provisions for losses when the claim becomes probable and the amount due is estimable. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be determined, the Company believes that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. | ||||||||
For matters that have reached the threshold of probable and estimable, the Company has established reserves for legal, regulatory and other contingent liabilities. The Company’s reserves were not significant as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. | ||||||||

On August 5, 2010, the Company and certain of its North American and U.K. subsidiaries ("Loan Parties") entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility with RBS Citizens Business Capital, a division of RBS Asset Finance, Inc. (“RBS”), and on February 22, 2012, June 26, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the Company and certain of its North American and U.K. subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, to the senior secured revolving credit facility with RBS (as amended, the “Revolver Agreement”). The Revolver Agreement provides the Company with the ability to borrow up to $40,000, including the issuance of letters of credit. The Company may increase the maximum borrowing amount to $50,000, subject to certain conditions, including lender acceptance. Extensions of credit are based on a percentage of the eligible accounts receivable from the Company's U.K. and North American operations, less required reserves. In connection with the Revolver Agreement, the Company capitalized approximately $1,457 of financing costs, which are being amortized over the term of the agreement. The maturity date of the Revolver Agreement is August 5, 2014. Borrowings under the Revolver Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and can be made with an interest rate based on a base rate plus an applicable margin or on the LIBOR rate for the applicable period plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for each rate is based on the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolver Agreement) and is determined as follows: | |||||||
Level | Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio | Base Rate Revolving Loans | LIBOR Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations | ||||
I | Greater than or equal to 1.25:1.0 | 1.25 | % | 2.25 | % | ||
II | Less than 1.25:1.0 but greater than or equal to 1.10:1.0 | 1.5 | % | 2.5 | % | ||

On November 29, 2011, certain Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Facility Agreement, dated November 29, 2011 (the “Facility Agreement”), with Westpac Banking Corporation and Westpac New Zealand Limited (collectively, “Westpac”). On September 30, 2013, certain Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries of the Company entered into a waiver letter (the “Waiver”) to waive a financial covenant under the Facility Agreement. | |||||||
The Facility Agreement provides three tranches: (a) an invoice discounting facility of up to $18,642 (AUD20,000) (“Tranche A”) for an Australian subsidiary of the Company, the availability under which facility is based on an agreed percentage of eligible accounts receivable; (b) an overdraft facility of up to $2,906 (NZD3,500) (“Tranche B”) for a New Zealand subsidiary of the Company; and (c) a financial guarantee facility of up to $4,661 (AUD5,000) (“Tranche C”) for the Australian subsidiary. | |||||||
The Facility Agreement does not have a stated maturity date and can be terminated by Westpac upon 90 days written notice. Borrowings under Tranche A may be made with an interest rate based on the Invoice Finance 30-day Bank Bill Rate (as defined in the Facility Agreement) plus a margin of 0.75%. Borrowings under Tranche B may be made with an interest rate based on the Commercial Lending Rate (as defined in the Facility Agreement) plus a margin of 0.83%. Each of Tranche A and Tranche B bears a fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.65% of the size of Westpac’s commitment under such tranche. Borrowings under Tranche C may be made incurring a fee equal to 1.10% of the face value of the financial guarantee requested. Amounts owing under the Facility Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Australian subsidiary, its Australian parent company and the New Zealand subsidiary (collectively, the “Obligors”) and certain of their subsidiaries. | |||||||

The Facility Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Obligors and certain of their subsidiaries, including: (a) a requirement that the Obligors maintain (1) a minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Facility Agreement) as of the last day of each calendar quarter of not less than the higher of 85% of the Tangible Net Worth as of the last day of the previous calendar year and $16,312 (AUD17,500); (2) at all times, a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Facility Agreement) of 1.5x for the trailing twelve-month period, except as provided under the Waiver, which reduces the minimum Fixed Charge Cover Ratio to 1.25x for the testing dates of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013; and (3) a maximum Borrowing Base Ratio (as defined in the Facility Agreement) as of the last day of each calendar quarter of not more than 0.8; and (b) a limitation on certain intercompany payments with permitted payments outside the Obligor group restricted to a defined amount derived from the net profits of the Obligors and their subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Facility Agreement as of September 30, 2013. | |||||||

Segment Reporting | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company operates in three reportable segments: the Hudson regional businesses of Hudson Americas, Hudson Asia Pacific, and Hudson Europe. Corporate expenses are reported separately from the three reportable segments and pertain to certain functions, such as executive management, corporate governance, human resources, accounting, administration, tax and treasury, the majority of which are attributable to and have been allocated to the reportable segments. Segment information is presented in accordance with ASC 280, “Segments Reporting.” This standard is based on a management approach that requires segmentation based upon the Company’s internal organization and disclosure of revenue and certain expenses based upon internal accounting methods. The Company’s financial reporting systems present various data for management to run the business, including internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis not consistent with U.S. GAAP. Accounts receivable, net and long-lived assets are the only significant assets separated by segment for internal reporting purposes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

[1] | For the periods in which net losses are presented, the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding did not differ from the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding because the effects of any potential common stock equivalents (see Note 5 for further details on outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock units and unvested restricted stock) were anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of the denominator of dilutive earnings per share. |
