1.

Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect, in the opinion of the management of Computer Task Group, Incorporated (“CTG” or “the Company”), all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for the periods presented. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10K filed with the SEC.

The Company's fiscal year-end is December 31. During the year, the quarters generally consist of a 13-week fiscal period where the last day of each of the first three quarters is a Friday. The 2022 second quarter began on April 2, 2022 and ended on July 1, 2022. The 2021 second quarter began on April 3, 2021 and ended on July 2, 2021. There were 64 billable days in both the 2022 and 2021 second quarters, and 129 billable days in both the 2022 and 2021 year-to-date periods.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

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

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which could be impacted by existing market conditions and factors, including among others lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, current macroeconomic conditions such as inflation, and the unpredictability and severity of a civil unrest or outbreak of war or hostilities. Such estimates primarily relate to the recognition of revenue, leased assets and liabilities, the purchase accounting for acquisitions and the valuation of goodwill, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, actuarial assumptions including discount rates and expected return on assets, as applicable, for the Company’s defined benefit plans, the valuation of stock options and restricted stock for recording equity-based compensation expense, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, legal matters, other contingencies, and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, as applicable. Management believes that the information and disclosures provided herein are adequate to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity of the Company.

There were no subsequent events as of the date of this filing from the end of the fiscal second quarter on July 1, 2022 that require recognition or disclosure in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company operates in three segments within its business, North America IT Solutions and Services, Europe IT Solutions and Services, and Non-Strategic Technology Services. The Company provides information and technology-related services to its clients. 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. These services ensure that our clients utilize the right information technology to meet their business needs, maximize their IT systems’ value, and operate efficiently and effectively. A typical client is an organization with large, complex technology, information, and data processing requirements.

The Company focuses a significant portion of its services through five vertical market focus areas: technology service providers, healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), financial services, 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.

The Company’s revenue by vertical market as a percentage of total revenue for the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was as follows:

Revenue 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 (i.e. progress billing), 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. Revenue recognition over time 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.

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 clients 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 clients 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 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 sheets. 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 clients.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

As of July 1, 2022, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations for fixed-price and all managed-support contracts was approximately $14.7 million and $38.2 million, respectively. Approximately $29.3 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 2022, and approximately $23.6 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 2023 and beyond. The

9


 

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

The Company records taxes collected from its clients for remittance to governmental authorities, primarily in its international locations, on a net basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash of $35.5 million and $35.6 million, respectively, approximated fair value.

As described in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of StarDust in the 2020 first quarter. 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 and excess earnings methods.

The Company has recorded 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 achievements are below the target threshold. The fair value of this contingent consideration liability 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 their revenue and EBIT targets. There were no payments made in 2022, and no remaining liability at July 1, 2022. During the 2021 second quarter, the Company paid approximately $0.3 million relating to the earn-out based on the achievement by StarDust of the consolidated direct profit targets for fiscal 2020.

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 currently on 16 individuals, whose average age is 79 years old. Those policies have generated cash surrender value and the Company has taken loans against the policies. At July 1, 2022, the insurance policies that have been borrowed against have a gross cash surrender value of $29.0 million, outstanding loans and interest totaling $25.9 million, and a net cash surrender value of $3.1 million. At December 31, 2021, these insurance policies had a gross cash surrender value of $28.3 million, outstanding loans and interest totaling $25.2 million, and a net cash surrender value of $3.1 million. The net cash surrender values are included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in “Cash surrender value of life insurance, net” under non-current assets.

 

At July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total death benefit for the remaining policies was approximately $36.9 million and $36.0 million, respectively. Currently, upon the death of all of the remaining plan participants, the Company would expect to receive approximately $10.8 million after the payment of obligations, and, under current tax regulations, record a non-taxable gain of approximately $7.7 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 a maturity of three months or less. The Company does not fund its bank accounts for the checks it has written until the checks are presented to the bank for payment. In the event the Company has no available cash at the bank for which it writes its checks, the "change in cash overdraft, net" line item as presented on the condensed 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 July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 has a factoring agreement to sell certain trade accounts receivables associated with its largest client on a non-recourse basis to a third-party financial institution. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and presents cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. There were zero and $10.1 million trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring agreement during the quarters ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively. Total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring agreement were approximately $4.5 million and $25.6 million in the year-to-date periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively. Fees for the factoring arrangement were recorded in cost of services and were zero and less than $0.1 million in the quarter and year-to-date period ended July 1, 2022, respectively, and were less than $0.1 million in both the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 2, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” Among other clarifications and simplifications related to income tax accounting, the new standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, hybrid taxes and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

StarDust SAS (“StarDust”)

On March 3, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of StarDust, for approximately $6.1 million (€5.5 million based on a EUR into USD exchange rate of 1.1145). The acquisition was funded using cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit and Security Agreement. The France-based StarDust, is a leading provider of testing and quality assurance for digital services with offices in Marseille, France, and Montreal, Canada. StarDust offers a complete range of testing services, including functional, multilingual, operational, environmental, regression, and application benchmarking, covering digital services and website, software, mobile applications, and Internet of Things connected objects. The acquisition expanded the Company’s global testing capabilities.

The results of operations of StarDust have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition. As the Company has determined that the acquisition is not material to its existing operations, certain disclosures, including pro forma financial information, have not been included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

An earn-out of up to $1.1 million (€1.0 million based on a EUR into USD exchange rate of 1.1145) can be earned, a portion of which will be payable in each period subject to the achievement of consolidated direct profit targets for fiscal 2020 and 2021. Additionally, for each €10,000 of consolidated direct profit achieved above the target, an additional €1,000 can be earned, with no maximum limit. There is no payout if the achievement is below the target threshold. The fair value as of the March 3, 2020 acquisition date was determined to be $0.1 million. There were no payments made in 2022, and no remaining liability at July 1, 2022, as the consolidated direct profit targets were not met by StarDust for the fiscal year 2021.

The Company incurred amortization of intangible assets related to this acquisition of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million in the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, and less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million in the

13


 

2021 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, which were recorded as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition was finalized in the 2020 third quarter.

Lease Commitments

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

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

Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, short-term lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company measures the operating lease liabilities at lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments using the rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable, or the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rate. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset for leases with a lease term of twelve months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease expense in the period incurred. Variable lease cost consists primarily of common-area maintenance, insurance, and taxes, which are paid based on actual costs incurred by the lessor.

Debt

The Company entered into an asset-based lending revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) during the 2021 second quarter, which has a five-year term that expires in May 2026, replacing its previous agreement.  Under this Credit Agreement, the Company can borrow up to $50.0 million depending on collateral availability.  The Credit Agreement is collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable in the United States, Belgium, and Luxembourg. The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the interest rate benchmark used as a reference rate on our Credit Agreement, began being phased out at the beginning of calendar year 2022, with the one-month LIBOR scheduled to cease immediately after June 30, 2023.  A reference rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), and other alternative benchmark rates, are replacing LIBOR. The Company can borrow under the agreement at either rate at its discretion. Interest rates range from 1.5% to 2.0% over SOFR or EURIBOR loans, and 0.5% to 1.0% over base rate (prime rate) loans. The Company can borrow under the agreement at either rate at its discretion. The Company’s previous Credit and Security Agreement was terminated during the 2021 second quarter. 

At both July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Company borrows or repays its debts as needed based upon its working capital obligations, including the timing of the U.S. bi-weekly payroll.

There were no borrowings during the 2022 and 2021 second quarters and year-to-date periods, respectively.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to meet one financial covenant in order to maintain borrowings under its revolving credit line, pay dividends, and make acquisitions. The covenant is measured quarterly, and at July 1, 2022 represented a fixed charge coverage ratio, where for the trailing twelve months the consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) adjusted for, amongst other items, equity-based compensation and severance expenses, must be greater than 1.0 times the consolidated interest expense paid in cash and any scheduled principal payments. The fixed charge coverage ratio is only tested if availability, subject to a maximum

15


 

of the commitment of $50.0 million, on the measurement date is less than the greater of 12.5% of the total loan availability or $5.0 million. Actual borrowings by CTG under the Credit Agreement are subject to a borrowing base, which is a formula based on certain eligible receivables and reserves for each country included in the Credit Agreement (the United States, Belgium, and Luxembourg). Receivable balances from our largest client, IBM, have been removed from the Credit Agreement as collateral, as the Company had entered into a factoring arrangement for those receivables. Total availability as of July 1, 2022 was approximately $37.5 million. The Company’s compliance with its financial covenant was not required to be tested at July 1, 2022 as the availability under the Credit Agreement was in excess of 12.5% of the total loan availability. The Company was in compliance with its applicable covenants under the previous Credit and Security Agreement at July 2, 2021.

8.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The 2022 second quarter and year-to-date ETR was 26.8% and 25.3%, respectively, and the 2021 second quarter and year-to-date ETR was 28.0% and 25.6%, respectively.

The Company has not recorded a U.S. deferred tax liability for the excess book basis over the tax basis of its investments in foreign subsidiaries as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations.

9.

Deferred Compensation and Other Benefits

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

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

The Company also maintains a fully funded pension plan related to CTG Belgium and CTG Health Solutions (Belgium) employees (“BDBP”). The BDBP has active employees and the Company expects to make future contributions.

16


 

The Company maintains an unfunded pension plan related to the current Soft Company employees (“FDBP”). The Company does not anticipate making contributions to the FDBP. No benefit payments were made in 2021 and less than $0.1 million are expected to be paid in 2022.

 

The Company also maintains an unfunded pension plan related to the current StarDust employees (“SDBP”). The Company does not anticipate making contributions to the SDBP. No benefit payments were made in 2021 and none are expected to be paid in 2022.

The ESBP is deemed to be unfunded as the Company has not specifically identified assets to be used to discharge the deferred compensation benefit liabilities. The Company has purchased insurance on the lives of certain plan participants in amounts deemed to be sufficient to reimburse the Company for the costs associated with the plan for those participants (see Note 2 for “Life Insurance Policies”). The Company does not anticipate contributing to the plan other than for benefit payments as required in 2022 and future years. In the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period, the Company made benefit payments totaling approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and expects to make payments in 2022 totaling approximately $0.5 million. The Company made benefit payments totaling approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the 2021 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.

As the NDBP was curtailed for additional contributions in January 2003, no contributions were made in 2021 and none are expected to be made in 2022. The assets for the NDBP are held by Aegon, a financial services firm located in the Netherlands. The Company maintains a contract with Aegon to insure future benefit payments of the NDBP; however, due to certain terms of the agreement and potential obligations to the Company, the NDBP has not been settled. The benefit payments to be made in 2022 are expected to be paid by Aegon from plan assets. The assets for the plan are included in a general portfolio of government bonds, a portion of which is allocated to the NDBP based upon the estimated pension liability associated with the plan. The fair market value of the plan’s assets equals the contractual value of the NDBP at any point in time. The fair value of the assets is determined using a Level 3 methodology (see Note 2 for “Fair Value”). In 2022, the plan investments have a targeted minimum return to the Company of 4.0%, which is consistent with historical returns and the 4.0% return guaranteed to the participants of the plan. The Company, in conjunction with Aegon, intends to maintain the current investment strategy of investing plan assets solely in government bonds throughout 2022.

The BDBP is considered fully funded. The Company made contributions of $0.1 million in both the 2022 and 2021 second quarters, and $0.3 million in both the 2022 and 2021 year-to-date periods. The Company made benefit payments totaling less than $0.1 million in both the 2022 and 2021 second quarters, and expects to make payments in 2022 totaling $0.1 million.

The assets for the BDBP are held by Allianz, a financial services firm located in Belgium. The Company maintains a contract with Allianz to insure future benefit payments of the BDBP. Contributions made by the Company to Allianz are based on employees’ current salaries. The benefit payments to be made in 2022 are expected to be paid by Allianz from plan assets. The assets for the plan are included in the overall portfolio of assets held by Allianz. The fair market value of the plan’s assets equals the contractual value of the BDBP in any given year (which is the mathematical reserve held by Allianz). The fair value of the assets is determined using a Level 3 methodology (see Note 2 “Fair Value”). Allianz does not guarantee a minimum return on the plan investments, whereas Belgian law sets a minimum return to be guaranteed to the participants of the plan.

The Company maintains various other defined contribution retirement plans covering European employees. Company contributions charged to operations were $0.1 million in both the 2022 and 2021 second quarters, and $0.2 million in both the year-to-date periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021.

The Company made no cash contributions in either the 2022 or 2021 second quarter or year-to-date periods for amounts earned in the previous year. Participants in the plan have the ability to purchase stock units from the Company at current market prices using their available investment balances within the plan. In exchange for the cash received, the Company releases shares out of treasury stock equivalent to the number of share units purchased by the participants. These shares of common stock are not entitled to any voting rights, but will receive dividends in the event any are paid. The shares are being held by the Company, and will be released to the participants as prescribed by their payment elections under the plan. There were no stock units purchased during the 2022 or 2021 second quarter or year-to-date periods.

 

The Company maintains the Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan for its non-employee directors. The Company made cash contributions of less than $0.1 million during both the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date periods, and made no cash contributions during either the 2021 second quarter or year-to-date periods. The remaining contributions deposited in the directors’ accounts in the 2022 and 2021 second quarter and year-to-date periods consisted of equity grants from the 2020 Equity Award Plan. These shares of common stock are not entitled to any voting rights, but will receive dividends in the event any are paid. The shares are being held by the Company, and will be released to the participants as prescribed by their payment elections under the plan.

Equity-based Compensation

During the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period, the Company granted restricted stock totaling 139,315 and 290,871 shares, respectively. During the 2021 second quarter and year-to-date period, the Company granted restricted stock totaling 105,727 and 240,319 shares, respectively. All grants in 2022 and 2021 were funded out of treasury stock.

Director Board fees are paid in part with quarterly grants of stock units. Of the total shares granted during the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period, 12,200 and 24,535 shares represented restricted stock units that were granted to Board members, respectively. The shares vest over the quarter in which they were granted and the Company is expensing these grants as such. Grants of similar units to the Board members totaled 13,512 and 28,230 shares of restricted stock units in the 2021 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.  

Of the shares granted in the 2022 first quarter, 139,221 shares were granted to senior management, of which 92,815 shares included a performance condition. The shares will only vest, in part, to senior management if at least 80% of a three-year cumulative target for diluted earnings per share is met for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024. If at least 80% of the three-year EPS target is not met, the grants will expire. Of the shares granted during 2021 first quarter, 119,874 were granted to senior management, of which 79,917 shares included a performance condition. The shares will only vest in part, to senior management if at least 80% of a three-year cumulative target for diluted earnings per share is met for the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. If at least 80% of the three-year EPS target is not met, the grants will expire.

The remaining shares granted in the 2022 and 2021 second quarter and year-to-date periods include shares that vest ratably over a period of three or four years, beginning one year from the date of grant.

The restricted shares granted are considered outstanding, can be voted, and are eligible to receive dividends in the event any are paid. However, these shares do not include a non-forfeitable right for the holder to receive dividends and none will be paid in the event the awards do not vest. Accordingly, only vested shares of outstanding restricted stock are included in the basic earnings per share calculation. The shares and share units granted in 2022 and 2021 were from the 2020 Equity Award Plan.

18


 

A total of 134,790 stock options were granted during the 2022 first quarter on March 18, 2022 from the 2020 Equity Award Plan. The options have a fair value of $3.14 per share using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value include the price on the date of grant of $9.12 per option, an expected life of 3.4 years, expected volatility of 44.6%, an expected dividend yield of zero, and a risk free rate of 2.1%. The options vest ratably over three years, and are being expensed over that period. A total of 105,906 options were granted during the 2021 first quarter on March 24, 2021 from the 2020 Equity Award Plan. The options have a fair value of $3.46 per share using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value include the price on the date of grant of $9.17 per option, an expected life of 5.1 years, expected volatility of 41.9%, an expected dividend yield of zero, and a risk free rate of 0.8%.

11.

Treasury Stock

The Company’s Board of Directors has previously authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of the Company’s stock.

Significant Clients

In the 2022 second quarter, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) was the Company’s largest client and accounted for $15.9 million or 19.2% of consolidated revenue compared with $19.6 million or 21.2% of consolidated revenue in the comparable 2021 period. In the 2022 year-to-date period, IBM accounted for $32.4 million or 18.8% of consolidated revenue, compared with $39.2 million or 20.7% of consolidated revenue in the comparable 2021 period. The National Technical Services Agreement with IBM expires on October 27, 2023. The Company’s accounts receivable from IBM at July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $17.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

No other client accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenue during the 2022 or 2021 second quarter or year-to-date periods.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance.

The Company provides information technology and related services to its clients. These services include digital IT solutions and services, and staffing services. With digital IT solutions and services, the Company generally takes responsibility for the deliverables and some level of project and staff management, and these services may include high-end advisory or business-related consulting. When providing staffing services, including managed staffing, staff augmentation, and volume staffing, personnel are provided to clients based upon their requirements for specific skills, who then, in turn, take their direction from clients’ managers.

The Company’s strategy throughout its operations is to expand the amount of IT solutions and services it provides to its clients as compared with staffing services, and to focus on delivering digital solutions. IT solutions and services provide significant value to our clients, and drive higher bill rates and margins for the Company.

In prior years, and in 2021 prior to the fourth quarter, the Company reported its results in one segment. This included operating segments for each of North America and Europe. The services the Company provided, regardless of geography or industry, were similar in nature and produced similar results. Additionally, the CEO, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker, made decisions on investments and allocated resources at the North America or Europe level. Accordingly, given the consistency in the services provided and the results, the Company aggregated those results into one reporting segment.

19


 

During the 2021 fourth quarter, the Company further refined its strategy to focus on providing digital services within its IT Solutions business in both North America and in Europe. As part of this process, the Company also determined that there are certain lower margin staffing accounts within its business that are no longer part of the Company’s long-term business plan. The focus includes investing in business development, solutions, delivery, and marketing for IT Solutions. Additionally, the Company is critically evaluating each significant staffing engagement as it comes up for renewal to determine if the Company would continue to provide those services to its client. These decisions are based on, among other factors, evaluating the work performed, the availability of the resources, the client, the long-term opportunities for the services provided at the client, and the revenue and profit associated with the engagement.

Accordingly, the Company now reports its operations in three segments within its business: North America IT Solutions and Services, Europe IT Solutions and Services, and Non-Strategic Technology Services.

The segments are composed of the following:

IT Solutions and Services in North America and Europe

IT Solutions and Services include business, technology, and operations solutions that aid our clients in digitally transforming their company, and ultimately meet the needs of their clients. The digital services the Company delivers includes the Internet of Things, Intelligent Automation, Data and Analytics, Cloud and Automated Testing.

Non-Strategic Technology Services

The Company’s Non-Strategic Technology Services address a range of information and technology resource needs, from filling specific talent gaps to managing high-volume staffing programs. The Company recruits, retains, and manages IT talent for its clients, which are primarily large technology service providers and other companies with multiple locations and a significant need for high-volume professional IT resources. This segment consists of the lowest margin services the Company provides to its clients. This segment consists primarily of staffing services in North America, and a minor amount (less than 5% of revenue in this segment) of such services in Europe.

The Company makes decisions related to resource allocation based upon the contribution income of each of its segments. Contribution profit reflects gross profit less any operating expenses directly related to each respective segment.  Those operating expenses primarily include sales, solutions, delivery, and recruiting expenses. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the individual segments and primarily include corporate support costs such as finance and accounting, internal IT, human resources, benefits and marketing.

The operating results for the Company’s segments for the quarters ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 were as follows:

Trends Impacting the Business

Macroeconomic Trends [and Potential Impact]

Since March 2020, interest rates have remained at historically low levels, primarily due to impacts to the U.S economy caused by COVID-19. More recently, higher consumer demand, lower interest rates, global supply chain disruption, and other factors have contributed to rapidly accelerating economic inflation. To offset the impacts of inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") has been, and intends to continue, raising interest rates throughout the remainder of 2022 and possibly into 2023. While the actual timing and extent of the future increases in interest rates remains unknown, higher long-term interest rates may have a material adverse impact to us as a higher cost of capital could significantly increase our interest expense on any debt we incur in the future. High inflation and interest rates also have the potential to negatively impact our clients spending, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Due to the nature of our operations, we have exposure to the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates associated with the Company’s European operations. Our foreign operations will continue to expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The impact of future foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations cannot be accurately predicted.

 

Industry Trends

The Company’s services include information and technology-related solutions. 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. These services ensure that our clients utilize the right information technology to meet their business needs, maximize their IT systems’ value, and operate efficiently and effectively. A typical client is an organization with large, complex technology, information, and data processing requirements.

The Company focuses a significant portion of its services through five vertical market focus areas: technology service providers, healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), financial services, 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.

The Company’s revenue by vertical market as a percentage of total revenue for the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was as follows:

The IT services industry is extremely competitive and characterized by continuous changes in client requirements and improvements in technologies. Our competition varies significantly by geographic region, as well as by the type of service provided. Many of our competitors are larger than CTG, and have greater financial, technical, sales, and marketing resources. In addition, the Company frequently competes with a client’s use of its own internal IT staff for projects. Our industry continues to be impacted by the use of lower-cost offshore delivery capabilities (primarily India and other parts of Asia). There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to clients in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with progress billing schedules (i.e. progress billing), primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the client. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized over time using an input-based approach. Revenue recognition over time best portrays the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the 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 quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was as follows:

Segments

The Company provides information technology and related services to its clients. These services include digital IT solutions and services, and staffing services. With digital IT solutions and services, the Company generally takes responsibility for the deliverables and some level of project and staff management, and these services may include high-end advisory or business-related consulting. When providing staffing services, including managed staffing, staff augmentation, and volume staffing, personnel are provided to clients based upon their requirements for specific skills, who then, in turn, take their direction from clients’ managers.

The Company’s strategy throughout its operations is to expand the amount of IT solutions and services it provides to its clients as compared with staffing services, and to focus on delivering digital solutions. IT solutions and services provide significant value to our clients, and drive higher bill rates and margins for the Company. Our existing solutions include business, technology, and operations solutions that aid our clients in digitally transforming their company, and ultimately meet the needs of their clients. The digital services the Company delivers includes the Internet of Things, Intelligent Automation, Data and Analytics, Cloud and Automated Testing.

In prior years, and in 2021 prior to the fourth quarter, the Company reported its results in one segment. This included operating segments for each of North America and Europe. The services the Company provided, regardless of geography or industry, were similar in nature and produced similar results. Additionally, the CEO, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker, made decisions on investments and allocated resources at the North America or Europe level. Accordingly, given the consistency in the services provided and the results, the Company aggregated those results into one reporting segment.

During the 2021 fourth quarter, the Company further refined its strategy to focus on providing digital services within its IT Solutions business in both North America and in Europe. As part of this process, the Company also determined that there are certain lower margin staffing accounts within its business that are no longer part of the Company’s long-term business plan. The focus includes investing in business development, solutions, delivery, and marketing for IT Solutions.

Additionally, the Company is critically evaluating each significant staffing engagement as it comes up for renewal to determine if the Company would continue to provide those services to its client. These decisions are based on, among other factors, evaluating the work performed, the availability of the resources, the client, the long-term opportunities for the services provided at the client, and the revenue and profit associated with the engagement.

Accordingly, the Company now reports its operations in three segments within its business: North America IT Solutions and Services, Europe IT Solutions and Services, and Non-Strategic Technology Services.

The Company’s operating segments recorded revenue in the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was as follows:

The Company’s strategic plan includes investing in IT solutions-based business development, marketing and solutions resources as part of a concerted effort to increase the mix of solutions services within its total revenue. Generally, solutions services have much higher bill rates and produce higher profits than IT staffing services. Additionally,

25


 

within solutions, the Company is focused on expanding the digital solutions it provides, including cloud related activities, robotic process automation and artificial intelligence, in response to the demand in the end markets where services are provided.  Finally, as a third part of its plan, the Company is focused on disengaging from its lowest margin staffing business, which are included in the Non-Strategic Technology Services segment.

On a consolidated basis, North America IT Solutions and Services revenue increased approximately $3.6 million year-over-year to $20.3 million, or 24.6% of consolidated revenue in the 2022 second quarter, and increased approximately $5.6 million year-over-year to $40.8 million, or 23.7% of consolidated revenue in the 2022 year-to-date period. This compares with $16.8 million or 18.2% in the corresponding 2021 second quarter, and $35.2 million or 18.6% in the corresponding 2021 year-to-date period. The increase in North America IT Solutions and Services revenue in the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period was primarily due to the investments made in business development, solutions and delivery over the past several years and the focus on growing the business unit as part of our overall strategy.

Europe IT Solutions and Services revenue decreased $6.9 million to $37.2 million and represented 44.9% of consolidated revenue in the 2022 second quarter, and decreased approximately $10.4 million year-over-year to $79.6 million, or 46.3% of consolidated revenue in the 2022 year-to-date period. This compares with $44.1 million or 47.8% of revenue in the corresponding 2021 second quarter, and $90.1 million or 47.6% in the corresponding 2021 year-to-date period. The Europe IT Solutions and Services revenue decrease in the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period was primarily due to the weakness of the value of the Euro as compared with the U.S. dollar. Additionally, labor constraints have restricted the ability to respond to client demand. Approximately 98.5% of European revenue for the second quarter is in this segment, and 1.5% is in the Non-Strategic Technology Services segment. If there had been no change in the foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year, revenue overall for the Company would have been approximately $4.9 million higher in the quarter.

Non-Strategic Technology Services revenue decreased $6.1 million to $25.3 million and represented 30.5% of consolidated revenue in the 2022 second quarter, and decreased approximately $12.3 million year-over-year to $51.8 million, or 30.1% of consolidated revenue in the 2022 year-to-date period. This compares with $31.3 million or 34.0% of revenue in the corresponding 2021 second quarter, and $64.0 million or 33.8% in the corresponding 2021 year-to-date period. The Non-Strategic Technology Services revenue decrease in the 2022 second quarter was primarily due to the Company continuing to disengage from a number of low margin, non-core staffing engagements in North America.

 

The Company recorded revenue by geography in the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 as follows:

There were 64 billable days in both the 2022 and 2021 second quarters. Reimbursable expenses billed to clients and included in revenue were approximately zero and $0.2 million in the 2022 and 2021 second quarters, respectively.

There were 129 billable days in both the 2022 and 2021 year-to-date periods. Reimbursable expenses billed to clients and included in revenue totaled $0.3 million and $0.7 million in the 2022 and 2021 year-to-date periods, respectively.

The COVID-19 pandemic had limited financial impact on the Company’s operations in the 2022 second quarter as compared with the 2021 second quarter. The Company did not experience additional headcount reductions or project cancellations during the 2022 second quarter, although client demand for Non-Strategic Technology Services continued to be low. At this time, although the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect all of the countries where the Company has operations, there is no clear visibility into the potential magnitude of a downturn in operations that could negatively affect financial results for the remainder of 2022.

The Company is experiencing significant competition for qualified resources due to a general shortage of available IT digital solutions talent. We believe this competition will continue in the future, and may have a negative impact on the Company’s revenue and operating profits if we are unable to hire the resources we need to meet demand from our clients on a timely basis.

The Company includes all billable consultants, consisting of both employees and subcontractors, and its support services in its headcount totals. CTG’s headcount at July 1, 2022 was approximately 3,200, down from approximately 3,650 at July 2, 2021, and a decrease from approximately 3,450 at December 31, 2021. The decrease in headcount year-over-year is primarily due to the Company moving away from its lowest margin staffing business in the Company’s Non-Strategic Technology Services segment.

The revenue decrease in Europe in the countries in which the Company operates (Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom) was impacted in the 2022 second quarter by the strength of the U.S. dollar as compared with the value of the Euro, the currency used in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, and the British pound, the currency used in the United Kingdom. If there had been no change in these exchange rates from the 2022 second quarter to the 2021 second quarter, total European revenue and operating income would have been approximately $4.9 million and $0.4 million higher, respectively. In the event the value of the Euro continues to decline against that of the U.S. dollar, there may be additional decreases in revenue and operating profits throughout the remainder of 2022.

In the 2022 second quarter, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) was the Company’s largest client and accounted for $15.9 million or 19.2% of consolidated revenue compared with $19.6 million or 21.2% of consolidated revenue in the comparable 2021 period. In the 2022 year-to-date period, IBM accounted for $32.4 million or 18.8% of consolidated revenue, compared with $39.2 million or 20.7% of consolidated revenue in the comparable 2021 period. The National Technical Services Agreement with IBM expires on October 27, 2023. The Company’s accounts receivable from IBM at July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $17.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

No other client accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenue during the 2022 or 2021 second quarters or year-to-date periods.

Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff including billable out-of-pocket expenses, were 65.2% and 63.8% of revenue in the North America IT Solutions and Services segment in the 2022 and 2021 second quarter, respectively, and 65.8% and 65.7% in the 2022 and 2021 year-to-date periods, respectively. Direct costs in the Europe IT Solutions and Services segment were 74.2% and 75.6% in the 2022 and 2021 second quarter, respectively, and 74.8% and 75.6% in the 2022 and 2021 year-to-date periods, respectively. The decrease in direct costs year-over-year in both segments was due to a concerted effort to deliver higher margin, digital services in these segments. Direct costs in the Non-Strategic Technology Services segment were 87.8% and 88.7% in the 2022 and 2021 second quarter, respectively, and 87.7% and 88.9% in the 2022 and 2021 year-to-date periods, respectively. This reduction in direct costs was a result of the Company continuing to disengage from its lowest margin IT staffing services as part of its strategic plan.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were 20.1% of revenue in the 2022 second quarter as compared with 19.1% in the corresponding 2021 period, and 19.7% in the 2022 year-to-date period as compared with 19.1% in the corresponding 2021 period. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the 2022 second quarter as compared with the prior year period was due to a loss of operating leverage resulting from lower revenue in the quarter, even though SG&A expense declined $1.0 million in the second quarter as compared with the prior year, and $2.3 million in the 2022 year-to-date period as compared with the prior year.

Consolidated operating income was 3.8% of revenue in the 2022 second quarter, compared with 3.0% of revenue in the 2021 second quarter, and 3.7% in the 2022 year-to-date period, as compared with 2.6% in the corresponding 2021 period.

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The 2022 second quarter and year-to-date ETR was 26.8% and 25.3%, respectively, and the 2021 second quarter and year-to-date ETR was 28.0% and 25.6%, respectively. The ETR was lower in the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date periods as compared with the corresponding 2021 periods primarily due an increase in U.S. tax credits in 2022.

Net income was $0.13 and $0.28 per diluted share in the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, as compared with $0.12 and $0.22 per diluted share in the 2021 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was calculated using 15.1 million and 15.0 million weighted-average equivalent shares outstanding in the quarters ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

At July 1, 2022, the Company had a total of approximately $6.7 million of deferred tax assets offset by a valuation allowance of approximately $2.0 million, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of approximately $4.7 million. Additionally, the Company had approximately $1.5 million of deferred tax liabilities recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily consist of deferred compensation, loss carryforwards, and state taxes.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers, within each taxing jurisdiction, whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion 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 critical evaluation of current and future impacts of business and economic factors on the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income. Factors that may affect the Company’s ability to generate taxable income include, but are not limited to increased competition, a decline in revenue or margins, a loss of market share, the availability of qualified professional staff, and a decrease in demand for the Company’s services.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and their potential realizability are evaluated each quarter to determine if any changes should be made to the valuation allowance. The analysis the Company prepares requires significant judgment and assumptions regarding future market conditions as well as forecasts for profits, taxable income, and taxable income by jurisdiction. Due to the sensitivity of the analysis, changes to the assumptions in subsequent periods could have a material effect on the valuation allowance. Any further change in the valuation allowance in the future could result in a change in the Company’s ETR. A 1% change in the ETR in the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period would have increased or decreased net income by approximately $27,900 and $57,300, respectively.

 

Goodwill Valuation

As of July 1, 2022, goodwill recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet totaled $18.1 million, which relates to the acquisitions completed by the Company in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The acquisition of Soft Company in 2018 is in the France reporting unit, while the 2019 acquisition of Tech-IT is in the Luxembourg reporting unit, and the 2020 acquisition of StarDust is in both the North American and France reporting units. As of July 1, 2022, goodwill consisted of $1.3 million associated with the North America IT Solutions and Services segment, while the balance of $16.8 million is associated with the Europe IT Solutions and Services segment. There was no impairment prior to or after the allocation of goodwill to the North America IT Solutions and Services segment.

As of October 2021 fiscal month-end, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test with the assistance of 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 to estimate fair value of the reporting unit. The future cash flows for the reporting units were projected based upon on our estimates of future revenue, 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. 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.

Finally, we compared our estimates of fair value to the consolidated Company’s October 2021 month-end total public market capitalization, which included factoring in the business operations that do not have goodwill, and assessed implied control premiums. Based on the results of this analysis, we concluded that the estimated fair value determined under our approach for the annual goodwill impairment test for our France and Luxembourg reporting units in October 2021 was reasonable, and continues to be reasonable at the end of the 2022 second quarter.

We concluded that the goodwill assigned to our reporting units as of October 2021 were not impaired, and that they continue to not be impaired as of July 1, 2022 as no impairment triggering events have been noted subsequently through the end of the 2022 second quarter. However, the estimates and assumptions on which the Company’s evaluations are based involve judgments and are based on current available information, any of which could prove wrong or inaccurate when made, or become wrong or inaccurate as a result of subsequent events. In the event the business significantly under achieves its goals for revenue and profit growth in the future, especially considering the current highly inflationary macroeconomic environment in which the Company conducts its operations, the carrying value for this business unit may not be supportable using a discounted cash flow projection, and an impairment charge may exist.

Other Estimates

The Company has also made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the FASB, and other regulatory authorities. Such estimates primarily relate to the valuation of stock options for recording equity-based compensation expense, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, discount rates associated with pension plans, incurred but not reported healthcare claims, acquisition and related accounting, legal matters, and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, as applicable. As future events and their effect on the Company's operating results cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in the economic climates in which the Company operates may affect these estimates and will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in the event they occur.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities was $2.8 million in the 2022 year-to-date period compared with cash used of less than $0.1 million in the 2021 corresponding period. In 2022, net income was $4.3 million, while other non-cash adjustments, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization expense, equity-based compensation, deferred income taxes, and deferred compensation totaled $2.6 million. In 2021, net income was $3.3 million, while the corresponding non-cash adjustments totaled $3.0 million.

The accounts receivable balance decreased $4.3 million in 2022 and increased $6.3 million in 2021. The decrease in accounts receivable in 2022 was due to the Company receiving payment on a large outstanding receivable balance from a project completed in the 2021 fourth quarter, and lower revenue. The Company has a factoring agreement with its largest customer whereby invoices due in 90 days can be paid in as little as 15 days. During the 2022 second quarter, the Company did not factor any balances, compared with $10.1 million in the prior year second quarter. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 84 days at July 1, 2022 and 81 days at July 2, 2021. The increase in DSO was a result of the $10.1 million decrease in factoring amounts in 2022 as compared with 2021.

Prepaid and other current assets increased $0.4 million in both the 2022 and 2021 periods due to the timing of payments made early in each respective year that are then expensed throughout the year.

The accounts payable balance decreased $7.2 million and $3.2 million in the 2022 and 2021 periods, respectively, primarily due to the timing of certain payments near the end of the quarter of each year as compared with the prior year-

30


 

end. Accrued compensation decreased $3.0 million and increased $1.9 million in the 2022 and 2021 periods, respectively. The 2022 decrease is primarily due to an overall decrease in headcount of approximately 450 year-over-year. The 2021 increase is primarily due to a significant increase in the size of our European operations and the timing of the payment of its payroll related costs subsequent to month end. Advance billings on contracts increased $0.5 million in 2022 and $1.3 million in 2021. The change in advance billings in any given period is determined by the nature and type of existing projects, and the advance payments associated with those projects. Other current liabilities increased $1.0 million in 2022 due to the timing of vendor invoices received at the end of the quarter as compared with the prior year-end.

Investing activities used $0.7 million and $1.6 million of cash in the 2022 and 2021 periods, respectively, for additions to property and equipment. During late 2021, the Company purchased a number of laptops to ensure it would have an adequate supply on hand given the global chip shortage which has impacted the lead time for the production of computer and related equipment. In comparison, the Company purchased fewer laptops during the 2022 period. The Company does not expect this lower level of additions to property and equipment to be indicative of the rest of the year. The Company has no significant commitments for the purchase of property and equipment at July 1, 2022.

Financing activities used $0.7 million of cash in 2022 and used $1.3 million in 2021. Cash received from the exercise of stock options and from an employee stock purchase plan totaled approximately $0.2 million in 2022 and $0.4 million in 2021. There were no borrowing or repayments on the Company’s revolving credit line in either 2022 or 2021. Payments made to taxing authorities that represent the value of shares withheld for taxes in employee equity-based compensation transactions totaled $1.2 million and $0.4 million in the 2022 and 2021 periods, respectively. The significant increase in 2022 was due to the vesting of the performance grants issued to the management team in 2019. Cash overdrafts relate to the amount of outstanding checks at a point in time, and netted to approximately $(0.2) million in 2022 and zero in 2021. The Company did not repurchase shares for treasury under its buyback program in either of the 2022 or 2021 year-to-date periods. As of July 1, 2022, $7.7 million was available under the Company's authorization to purchase shares in future periods.

The Credit Agreement has a five-year term that expires in May 2026.  Under this Credit Agreement, the Company can borrow up to $50.0 million depending on collateral availability.  The Credit Agreement is collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable in the United States, Belgium and Luxembourg.  Interest rates range from 1.5% to 2.0% over SOFR or EURIBOR loans, and 0.5% to 1.0% over base rate (prime rate) loans. The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the interest rate benchmark used as a reference rate on our Credit Agreement, began being phased out at the beginning of calendar year 2022, with the one-month LIBOR scheduled to cease immediately after June 30, 2023.  A reference rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), and other alternative benchmark rates, are replacing LIBOR. The Company can borrow under the agreement at either rate at its discretion. The Company’s previous Credit and Security Agreement was terminated during the 2021 second quarter.

At both July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Company borrows or repays its debts as needed based upon its working capital obligations, including the timing of the U.S. bi-weekly payroll. There were no borrowings during the 2022 and 2021 second quarters or year-to-date periods.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to meet one financial covenant in order to maintain borrowings under its revolving credit line, pay dividends, and make acquisitions. The covenant is measured quarterly, and at July 1, 2022, represented a fixed charge coverage ratio, where for the trailing twelve months the consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) adjusted for, amongst other items, equity-based compensation and severance expenses, must be greater than 1.0 times the consolidated interest expense paid in cash and any scheduled principal payments. The fixed charge coverage ratio is only tested if availability, subject to a maximum of the commitment of $50.0 million, on the measurement date is less than the greater of 12.5% of the total loan availability or $5.0 million. Actual borrowings by CTG under the Credit Agreement are subject to a borrowing base, which is a formula based on certain eligible receivables and reserves for each country included in the Credit Agreement (the United States, Belgium, and Luxembourg). Receivable balances from our largest client, IBM, have been removed from the Credit Agreement as collateral, as the Company had entered into a factoring arrangement for those receivables. Total availability as of July 1, 2022 was approximately $37.5 million. The Company’s compliance with its financial covenant was not required to be tested at July 1, 2022 as availability under the Credit Agreement was in excess of 12.5% of the total loan availability.

Of the total cash and cash equivalents reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 1, 2022 of $35.5 million, approximately $21.5 million was held by the Company’s foreign operations. Earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in those operations. The Company has not repatriated any of its cash and cash equivalents from its

31


 

foreign operations in the past five years, and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future as the funds are required to meet the working capital needs of its foreign operations.

The Company believes existing internally available funds, cash potentially generated from future operations, and funds available under the Company's Credit Agreement (subject to collateral limits) totaling $49.8 million will be sufficient to meet foreseeable working capital and capital expenditure needs, fund stock repurchases, pay a dividend (if any are declared), fund acquisitions, and allow for future internal growth and expansion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has guarantees in our European operations that support office leases and the performance under government contracts. These guarantees totaled approximately $3.0 million at July 1, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” Among other clarifications and simplifications related to income tax accounting, the new standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, hybrid taxes and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

The revenue decrease in Europe in the countries in which the Company operates (Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom) was impacted in the 2022 second quarter and year-to-date period by the strength of the U.S. dollar as compared with the value of the Euro, the currency used in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, and the British pound, the currency used in the United Kingdom. If there had been no change in these exchange rates from the 2021 second quarter to the 2022 second quarter, total European revenue would have been approximately $4.9 million higher, and operating income would have been higher by $0.4 million. If there had been no change in the rates from the 2021 year-to-date period to the corresponding 2022 period, total European revenue would have been approximately $8.0 million higher, and operating income would have been approximately $0.6 million higher. In the event the value of the Euro continues to decline against that of the U.S. dollar, there may be additional decreases in revenue and operating profits throughout the remainder of 2022.

The Company has historically not used any market rate sensitive instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange risk as it conducts its foreign operations in local currencies, which generally limits risk. The Company believes the market risk related to intercompany balances in future periods will not have a material effect on its results of operations.

 

Item 4.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not expect these matters, if any, to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. See footnote 12 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021 included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Form 10-K.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021. Since the filing of our Form 10-K for such period, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed therein except as follows:  

Business Related Risks

Our business depends on the availability of a large number of highly qualified IT professionals, sales and management personnel, and our ability to recruit and retain these individuals.

We actively compete with many other IT service providers for qualified personnel, including professional IT staff, recruiters, sales and business development specialists, and management. The Company is experiencing significant competition for qualified resources due to a general shortage of available IT digital solutions talent. We believe this competition will continue in the future, and it may have a negative impact on the Company’s operating results if we are unable to hire the resources we need to meet the requirements from our clients on a timely basis.

The availability of qualified personnel may affect our ability to provide services and meet the requirements of our clients. An inability to fulfill client requirements at agreed-upon rates due to a lack of available qualified personnel may adversely affect our revenue and operating results in the future.

The Company also continues to experience wage inflation globally, making hiring and retaining key personnel difficult. Continued increases in wage requirements may reduce operating profits if the Company is unable to pass such increases along to clients. Additionally, the turnover of employees is disruptive to providing our services to clients and may impact our ability to complete engagements as required, impacting our operating results and our reputation as a digital IT Solutions provider, which may in turn impact our ability to win future engagements.

Operations Related Risks

Changing economic conditions and the effect of such changes on accounting estimates could have a material impact on our results of operations.

The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and other accounting rulemaking authorities. Such estimates primarily relate to the valuation of stock options for recording equity-based compensation expense, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, discount rates associated with pension plans, incurred but not recorded claims related to the Company's self-insured medical plan, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, goodwill, acquisition and related accounting, legal matters, other contingencies and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, as applicable. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in the economic climates in which the Company operates may affect these estimates and will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the event they occur. Such changes could result in a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Regulatory or Legislative Related Risks

Our business is subject to economic, political, regulatory and other risks beyond our control associated with domestic and international operations which could have an adverse effect on our operating results if we are unable to mitigate or hedge these risks.

34


 

We have operations in the United States and Canada in North America, in Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and the United Kingdom in Europe, in India, and in Colombia. Although our foreign operations conduct their business in their local currencies, these operations are subject to their own currency fluctuations, legislation, employment and tax law changes, and economic climates. As they relate to our foreign operations, these factors are different from those of the United States. Although we actively manage these foreign operations with local management teams, our overall operating results may be negatively affected by local economic conditions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, or tax, regulatory or other economic changes beyond our control.

Our foreign operations will continue to expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The impact of future foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations cannot be accurately predicted. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that foreign currency exchange rates:

• will be stable in the future;

• can be mitigated with currency hedging or other risk management strategies; or

• will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

In addition, any widespread outbreak of an illness, pandemic or other local or global health issue (including COVID-19), natural disasters, climate change impacts, economic weakness, including inflation or a recession, or uncertain political climates, international hostilities including war, such as the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or any terrorist activities, could adversely affect customer demand, the Company’s operations, and its ability to source and deliver services to its customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results. For instance, the U.K. referendum to exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit,” continues to cause global economic, trade and regulatory uncertainty. The Company continues to monitor the impact that Brexit has had on its operations. To date, there has been a nominal impact on the Company’s operating results from Brexit. As the total revenue generated by our British subsidiary is immaterial as compared with the Company’s total consolidated revenue, we do not expect the nominal impact the exit has had on the Company’s operations to date to change in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, although we have no operations directly in the Ukraine, the global economy has been negatively impacted by the military conflict there, which in part has exacerbated inflationary conditions in North America and Western Europe where we conduct nearly all our operations. Macroeconomic conditions continue to also impact the global economy. The scope and duration of these conditions is uncertain. However, the Company has begun to see an impact through its clients beginning to delay IT purchasing decisions and increasing labor and other costs. These conditions may have a significant negative impact on the Company’s operating results in the future if they continue to persist.

All of these factors are outside of our control, but may nonetheless harm our future results and cause us to adjust our strategy in order to compete effectively.
