Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Computer Task Group, Incorporated, and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “CTG”), located primarily in North and South America, Western Europe, and India. 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, and purchase obligations for certain software, recruiting and other services. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such estimates primarily relate to the valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, actuarial assumptions including discount rates and expected rates of return, as applicable, for the Company’s defined benefit plans, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions underlying stock option valuation, investment valuation, estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, acquisition and related accounting, legal matters, and other contingencies. The current economic environments in the United States, Canada, Colombia, Western Europe, and India where the Company has operations have increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company operates in one industry segment, providing information and technology-related services to its clients. These services include information and technology-related solutions, including supplemental staffing as a solution. CTG provides these 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 client is an organization with large, complex information and data processing requirements. The Company provides a majority of its services in five vertical market focus areas: technology service providers, financial services, healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), manufacturing, 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 consolidated revenue for the three years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 is as follows: 2020 2019 2018 Technology service providers 32.7 % 32.2 % 32.4 % Financial services 15.7 % 13.8 % 15.2 % Healthcare 14.9 % 16.6 % 16.2 % Manufacturing 13.5 % 16.8 % 19.5 % Energy 6.3 % 5.2 % 4.7 % General markets 16.9 % 15.4 % 12.0 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Revenue and Cost Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with progress billing schedules, primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the client. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized over time using an input-based approach. Over time revenue recognition best portrays the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the client. On most fixed price contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that require the client 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 client 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 our 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 three years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 is as follows: 2020 2019 2018 Time-and-material 81.0 % 79.6 % 84.7 % Progress billing 15.9 % 10.2 % 10.5 % Percentage-of-completion 3.1 % 10.2 % 4.8 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % The Company recorded revenue for fiscal years ended 2020 compared to 2019 and 2019 compared to 2018 as follows: Year Ended December 31, % of total 2020 % of total 2019 Year-Over- Year (dollars in thousands) North America 55.8 % $ 204,264 61.5 % $ 242,218 (15.7 )% Europe 44.2 % 161,827 38.5 % 151,952 6.5 % Total 100.0 % $ 366,091 100.0 % $ 394,170 (7.1 )% Year Ended December 31, % of total 2019 % of total 2018 Year-Over- Year (dollars in thousands) North America 61.5 % $ 242,218 64.9 % $ 232,695 4.1 % Europe 38.5 % 151,952 35.1 % 126,074 20.5 % Total 100.0 % $ 394,170 100.0 % $ 358,769 9.9 % The Company includes billable expenses in its accounts as both revenue and direct costs. These billable expenses totaled $1.9 million, $2.6 million, and $3.2 million in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. 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 satisfaction of performance obligations or determining transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations. The Company allocates the transaction price based on standalone selling prices for contracts with clients that include more than one performance obligation. Standalone selling prices are based on the expected cost of the good or service plus margin approach. Certain clients may qualify for discounts and rebates, which we account for as variable consideration. The Company estimates variable consideration and reduces revenue recognized based on the amount it expects to provide to clients. Contract Balances For time-and-material and progress billing contracts, 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 right to invoice practical expedient that allows the Company to recognize revenue in the amount for which it has the right to invoice for time-and-material and progress billing contracts. Bill schedules for fixed-price contracts are generally consistent with the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the client. There are no significant financing components in our contracts with clients. Advance billings represent contract liabilities for cash payments received in advance of our performance. Unbilled receivables are reported within “accounts receivable” on the consolidated balance sheet. Accounts receivable and contract liability balances fluctuate based on the timing of the client ’s billing schedule and the Company’s period -end date. There are no significant costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with clients . Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations for fixed-price and all progress billing contracts was approximately $9.9 million and $41.0 million, respectively. Approximately $35.7 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 2021. Approximately $15.2 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 2022 and beyond. The Company uses the right to invoice practical expedient. Therefore, no disclosure is required for unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts in which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. Taxes Collected from Clients In instances where the Company collects taxes from its clients for remittance to governmental authorities, primarily in its international locations, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash of $32.9 million and $10.8 million, respectively, approximated fair value. As described in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired 100% The Company had a contingent consideration liability related to the earn-out provision of which a portion was 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 fair value as of the February 15, 2018 acquisition date was determined to be $2.0 million. In the 2018 second quarter, the Company paid approximately $0.9 million relating to the earn-out based on the achievement by Soft Company of certain revenue and EBIT targets for fiscal 2017. In the 2019 third quarter, the Company paid approximately $1.2 million relating to the earn-out based on the achievement by Soft Company of certain revenue and EBIT targets for fiscal 2018. In the 2020 fourth quarter, the Company paid approximately $0.9 million relating to the earn-out based on the achievement by Soft Company of certain revenue and EBIT targets for fiscal 2019. There is no remaining contingent consideration liability related to Soft Company’s earn-out as it has been fully paid as of December 31, 2020. The Company has a contingent consideration liability related to the earn-out provision of which a portion will be payable in each period subject to the achievement by Tech-IT of direct profit targets for fiscal 2019 and 2020. There is no payout if the achievements are below the target thresholds. The fair value of this contingent consideration liability is determined using the real options method, which requires inputs such as expected direct profit forecasts, discount rate, and other market variables to assess the probability of Tech-IT achieving the direct profit targets. The fair value as of the February 6 , 201 9 acquisition date was determined to be $ 0.6 million . In the 2020 fourth quarter, the Company paid approximately $ 0.3 million relating to the earn-out based on the achievement by Tech-IT of the direct profit targets for fiscal year 2019. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration liability was determined to be zero as of December 31, 2020 as the direct profit target threshold was not met by Tech-IT for the fiscal year 2020. 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 StarDust of consolidated direct profit targets for fiscal 2020 and 2021. 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 consolidated direct profit forecasts, discount rate, and other market variables to assess the probability of StarDust achieving the revenue and EBIT targets. The fair value as of the March 3, 2020 acquisition date was determined to be $0.1 million. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration liability was determined to be approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2020. As such, the Company recorded $0.4 million of selling, general, and administrative expense during the 2020 year-to-date period. Approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million of the remaining contingent consideration liability is recorded in “other current liabilities” and “other long-term liabilities”, respectively, on the December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, goodwill recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet totaled $21.3 million, which relates to the acquisitions completed by the Company in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The acquisition of Soft Company in 2018 and StarDust in 2020 are in the France reporting unit, while the 2019 acquisition of Tech-IT is in the Luxembourg reporting unit. In connection with our annual goodwill impairment test, we make various assumptions to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting units to which the goodwill relates. We perform the annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of each year. The goodwill impairment test is performed at least annually, unless indicators of an impairment exist in interim periods. The Company compared the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. As of October 2020 fiscal month-end, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test in conjunction with an external consultant and estimated the fair value of our reporting units based on a combination of the income (estimates of future discounted cash flows) and the market approach (market multiples for similar companies). The income approach uses a discounted cash flow (DCF) method that utilizes the present value of cash flows and other Level 3 inputs to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. The future cash flows for the reporting units were projected based upon on our estimates of future revenue, a terminal growth rate, operating income and other factors such as working capital and capital expenditures. As part of our projections, we took into account expected industry and market conditions for the industries in which the reporting units operate, as well as trends currently impacting the reporting units. As part of our DCF analysis, we projected revenue and operating profits, and assumed a long-term revenue growth rates in the “terminal year” for both of the reporting units. We also utilized a weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) of 16.0% for the France reporting unit and 15.0% for the Luxembourg reporting unit. These projections are based upon our judgment and may change in the future based upon the inherent uncertainty in predicting future results. The market approach utilizes multiples of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. The market multiples used for our reporting units were based on competitor industry data, along with the market multiples for the Company and other factors. The carrying value as of October 2020 was approximately $17.6 million and $13.2 million for the France and Luxembourg reporting units, respectively. 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 standard for any specific contracts during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Life Insurance Policies The Company has purchased life insurance on the lives of a number of former employees who are plan participants in the non-qualified defined benefit Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan. In total, there are policies on 16 individuals, whose average age is 77 years old. These policies have generated cash surrender value and the Company has taken loans against the policies. At December 31, 2020, these insurance policies have a gross cash surrender value of $27.1 million, outstanding loans and interest totaling $24.4 million, and a net cash surrender value of $2.7 million. At December 31, 2019, these insurance policies had a gross cash surrender value of $29.7 million, outstanding loans and interest totaling $27.2 million, and a net cash surrender value of $2.5 million. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the total death benefit for the remaining policies was approximately $35.0 million and $37.7 million, respectively. Currently, upon the death of all of the plan participants, the Company would expect to receive approximately $10.3 million, and under current tax regulations, would record a non-taxable gain of approximately $7.6 million. During both, the 2020 second and third quarters, a participant in the plan passed away. Upon their deaths, the Company recorded a non-taxable life insurance gain totaling approximately $1.0 million, which it has recorded on its consolidated statements of operations. Also, a former employee covered by these policies passed away in the 2018 third quarter and the Company recorded a non-taxable gain of approximately $0.8 million during 2018. 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 a 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 consolidated statement of cash flows represents the increase or decrease in outstanding checks for a given period. The cash in the Company’s U.S. banks is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the insurable limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has multiple accounts that carry balances in excess of this insurable limit. The Company’s cash in its foreign bank accounts is not insured. Accounts Receivable Factoring As part of our working capital management, the Company entered into a factoring agreement during the 2020 first quarter to sell certain trade accounts receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. We account for these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring agreement was approximately $64.0 million in 2020. Factoring fees for the sale of receivables were recorded in direct costs and were $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no accounts receivable factoring activities during 2019. Property, Equipment and Capitalized Software Costs Property and equipment are generally stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of one year to ten years, and begins after an asset has been placed into service. Leasehold improvements are generally depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement. The cost of property or equipment sold or otherwise disposed of, along with related accumulated depreciation, is eliminated from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in current earnings. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred, while significant improvements to existing assets are capitalized. Depreciation expense for the Company totaled $1.9 million in both 2020 and 2019, and $1.8 million in 2018. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had capitalized costs relating to software projects developed for internal use. Amortization periods for these projects range from three to five years, and begin when the software, or enhancements thereto, is available for its intended use. Amortization periods are evaluated annually for propriety. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such circumstances exist, the recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the 2020 fourth quarter, the Company recorded an adjustment of $0.8 million to reduce capital software for an asset that was being developed in the United Kingdom. The Company does not have any other long-lived assets that are impaired as of December 31, 2020. During the 2020 second quarter, the Company sold its corporate headquarters located in Buffalo, NY. As the sale price of the building was $2.5 million, and the book value of the building was approximately $1.6 million, the Company recorded a profit on the sale after related fees of about $0.8 million in the 2020 second quarter. Leases The Company is obligated under a number of short and long-term operating leases for office space and office equipment, and for automobiles leased in Europe. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition method to apply the new lease standard as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under Topic 840. Goodwill The goodwill recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 relates to the acquisition of Soft Company in the 2018 first quarter, Tech-IT in the 2019 first quarter, and StarDust in the 2020 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. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the carrying value would be reduced to the estimated fair value. There were no impairments recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements during 2020, 2019, or 2018. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: (amounts in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 11,664 Acquired goodwill 5,331 Foreign currency translation (314 ) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 16,681 Acquired goodwill 2,757 Foreign currency translation 1,837 Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 21,275 Acquired Intangibles Assets Acquired intangible assets at December 31, 2020 consist of the following: (amounts in thousands) Estimated Economic Life Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Foreign Currency Translation Net Carrying Amount Trademarks 2 years $ 1,532 $ 1,456 $ 50 $ 126 Technology 10 years 591 54 59 596 Customer relationships 7-13 years 10,496 2,331 210 8,375 Total $ 12,619 $ 3,841 $ 319 $ 9,097 Acquired intangible assets at December 31, 2019 consisted of the following: (amounts in thousands) Estimated Economic Life Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Foreign Currency Translation Net Carrying Amount Trademarks 2 years $ 1,432 $ 911 $ (86 ) $ 435 Customer relationships 8-13 years 9,905 1,191 (710 ) 8,004 Total $ 11,337 $ 2,102 $ (796 ) $ 8,439 Amortization expense for our acquired intangibles was $1.4 million in both 2020 and 2019, and $0.7 million in 2018. Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years, and thereafter, is as follows (amounts in thousands): Year Annual Amortization 2021 $ 1,225 2022 1,117 2023 1,108 2024 1,108 2025 1,108 Thereafter 3,431 Total $ 9,097 Income Taxes The Company provides for deferred income taxes for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers within each tax jurisdiction, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized, or that a valuation allowance is required. Management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing realizability of its deferred tax assets. A key component of this assessment is management’s uation of current and future impacts of business and economic factors on the Company’s Factors that may affect the Company’s ability to generate Company’s services. The The Company establishes an unrecognized tax benefit based upon the anticipated outcome of tax positions taken for financial statement purposes compared with positions taken on the Company’s tax returns. The Company records the benefit for unrecognized tax benefits only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The Company reviews its unrecognized tax benefits on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include consideration of factors such as the cause of the action, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome, the Company’s ability to estimate the liability, and the timing of the liability and how it will impact the Company’s other tax attributes. Equity-Based Compensation The Company records the fair value of equity-based compensation expense for all equity-based compensation awards granted and recognizes the cost in the Company’s income statement over the periods in which an employee or director is required to provide the services for the award. Compensation cost is not recognized for employees or directors that do not render the requisite services. The Company recognized the expense for equity-based compensation in its 2020, 2019, and 2018 consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis based upon awards that are ultimately expected to vest. See Note 10, “Equity-Based Compensation.” Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are as follows: For the year ended Net Income (loss) Weighted Average Shares Earnings (loss) per Share (amounts in thousands, except per-share data) December 31, 2020 Basic EPS $ 7,639 13,621 $ 0.56 Dilutive effect of outstanding equity instruments — 806 (0.03 ) Diluted EPS $ 7,639 14,427 $ 0.53 December 31, 2019 Basic EPS $ 4,125 13,450 $ 0.31 Dilutive effect of outstanding equity instruments — 547 (0.02 ) Diluted EPS $ 4,125 13,997 $ 0.29 December 31, 2018 Basic EPS $ (2,817 ) 13,805 $ (0.20 ) Dilutive effect of outstanding equity instruments — — — Diluted EPS $ (2,817 ) 13,805 $ (0.20 ) Weighted-average shares represent the average number of issued shares less treasury shares, and for the basic EPS calculations, unvested restricted stock. Certain options representing 0.6 million, 0.7 million, and 1.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect on the computation would have been anti-dilutive. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss The components that comprised accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: (amounts in thousands) 2020 2019 Foreign currency translation adjustment, net of taxes $ (3,645 ) $ (9,106 ) Pension loss, net of tax of $455 in 2020 and $265 in 2019 (11,722 ) (9,436 ) Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ (15,367 ) $ (18,542 ) During 2020, 2019, and 2018, actuarial losses were amortized to expense as follows: (amounts in thousands) 2020 2019 2018 Amortization of actuarial losses $ 298 $ 185 $ 277 Income tax 1 — — Net of tax $ 297 $ 185 $ 277 The amortization of actuarial losses is included in determining net periodic pension cost. See Note 7, "Deferred Compensation Benefits" for additional information. Foreign Currency The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, for equity accounts using historical exchange rates, and for revenue and expense activity using the applicable month’s average exchange rates. The Company recorded a nominal amount of expense in 2020, 2019, and 2018 from foreign currency transactions for balances settled during the year or intended to be settled as of each respective year-end. Guarantees The Company has a number of guarantees in place in our European operations which support office leases and performance under government projects. These guarantees totaled approximately $3.2 million 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). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will |
