Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. 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. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, 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 allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions underlying stock option valuation, investment valuation, legal matters, other contingencies, and progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts. 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. There are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company operates in one industry, providing IT services to its clients. At the highest level, CTG delivers services that are considered either IT solutions or IT and other staffing. CTG provides these primary services to all of the markets that it serves. The services provided typically encompass the IT business solution life cycle, including phases for planning, developing, implementing, managing, and ultimately maintaining the IT solution. A typical customer is an organization with large, complex information and data processing requirements. IT solutions and IT and other staffing revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 was as follows: For the Quarter Ended For the Two Quarters Ended June 28, 2019 June 29, 2018 June 28, 2019 June 29, 2018 IT solutions 35.5 % 31.6 % 34.9 % 31.0 % IT and other staffing 64.5 % 68.4 % 65.1 % 69.0 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 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 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. CTG’s revenue by vertical market as a percentage of total revenue for the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 was as follows: For the Quarter Ended For the Two Quarters Ended June 28, 2019 June 29, 2018 June 28, 2019 June 29, 2018 Technology service providers 31.7 % 32.6 % 32.1 % 32.7 % Manufacturing 17.1 % 18.4 % 17.1 % 18.9 % Healthcare 16.7 % 15.9 % 16.5 % 15.6 % Financial services 13.4 % 15.7 % 13.7 % 15.1 % Energy 5.5 % 5.0 % 5.1 % 4.9 % General markets 15.6 % 12.4 % 15.5 % 12.8 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers, 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. 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. On most fixed price contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that require the customer 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 customer 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, 2019 and June 29, 2018 was as follows: For the Quarter Ended For the Two Quarters Ended June 28, 2019 June 29, 2018 June 28, 2019 June 29, 2018 Time-and-material 79.3 % 87.7 % 79.7 % 87.1 % Progress billing 10.4 % 9.8 % 10.6 % 9.9 % Percentage-of-completion 10.3 % 2.5 % 9.7 % 3.0 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % The Company recorded revenue in the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 as follows: For the Quarter Ended: June 28, 2019 June 29, 2018 Year-over-Year Change (amounts in thousands) North America 62.4 % $ 62,653 65.3 % $ 60,522 3.5 % Europe 37.6 % 37,755 34.7 % 32,145 17.5 % Total 100.0 % $ 100,408 100.0 % $ 92,667 8.4 % For the Two Quarters Ended: June 28, 2019 June 29, 2018 Year-over-Year Change (amounts in thousands) North America 61.8 % $ 122,088 65.1 % $ 114,214 6.9 % Europe 38.2 % 75,558 34.9 % 61,166 23.5 % Total 100.0 % $ 197,646 100.0 % $ 175,380 12.7 % 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 customers 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 customers 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. 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 Company 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. Bill schedules for fixed-price contracts are generally consistent with the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer. There are no significant financing components in contracts with customers. 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 billings balances fluctuate based on the timing of the customer’s billing schedule and the Company’s month-end date. There are no significant costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers. Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations As of June 28, 2019, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations for fixed-price and all managed-support contracts was approximately $12.3 million and $46.0 million, respectively. Approximately $26.1 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 2019. Approximately $32.2 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 2020 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 Customers In instances where the Company collects taxes from its customers 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash of $11.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively, approximated fair value. As described in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of 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 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 Soft Company of certain revenue and EBIT targets for fiscal 2017, 2018, and 2019. There is no payout if the achievement on either target is below a certain target threshold. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using level 3 inputs. The fair value assigned to the contingent consideration liability 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 Soft Company achieving the revenue and EBIT targets. The Company also acquired Tech-IT in the 2019 first quarter, and the Company anticipates completing the accounting for the acquisition in the 2019 third 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, 2019 or June 29, 2018. 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 75 years old. Those policies have generated cash surrender value and the Company has taken loans against the policies. At June 28, 2019, these insurance policies have a gross cash surrender value of $28.8 million, outstanding loans and interest totaling $26.4 million, and a net cash surrender value of $2.4 million. At December 31, 2018, these insurance policies had a cash surrender value of $28.4 million, outstanding loans and interest totaling $25.8 million, and a net cash surrender value of $2.6 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total death benefit for the remaining policies was approximately $37.6 million. Currently, upon the death of all of the remaining plan participants, the Company would expect to receive approximately $10.9 million after the payment of obligations, and, under current tax regulations, record a non-taxable gain of approximately $8.5 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. Property, Equipment and Capitalized Software Costs Property, equipment and capitalized software at June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are summarized as follows: (amounts in thousands) June 28, 2019 December 31, 2018 Property, equipment and capitalized software $ 18,721 $ 18,292 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (13,280 ) (12,636 ) Property, equipment and capitalized software, net $ 5,441 $ 5,656 The Company recorded less than $0.1 million of capitalized software costs during both the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively. As of those dates, the Company had capitalized a total of $2.0 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 Goodwill The goodwill recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 28, 2019 relates to the acquisition of Soft Company in the 2018 first quarter, and Tech-IT in the 2019 first quarter. In accordance with current accounting guidance for “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” the Company performs goodwill impairment testing at least annually (in the Company’s fourth quarter), unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the two quarters ended June 28, 2019 are as follows: (amounts in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 11,664 Acquired goodwill 7,814 Foreign currency translation 10 Balance at June 28, 2019 $ 19,488 Acquired Intangible Assets Acquired intangible assets at June 28, 2019 consist of the following: (amounts in thousands) Estimated Economic Life Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Foreign Currency Translation Net Carrying Amount Trademarks 2 year $ 749 $ 469 $ (67 ) $ 213 Customer relationships 13 years 6,489 626 (574 ) 5,289 Total $ 7,238 $ 1,095 $ (641 ) $ 5,502 Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2019, the five succeeding years, and thereafter is as follows: Year Annual Amortization (amounts in thousands) 2019 $ 398 2020 498 2021 455 2022 455 2023 455 2024 455 Thereafter 2,786 Total $ 5,502 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 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. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
