FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” "strive," “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms but the absence of these words does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements may include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, client demand, business strategies, technology developments, financing and investment plans, competitive position, our industry, macroeconomic and regulatory environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we have filed as exhibits hereto, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include:
we may be unable to implement our growth strategy;
our ability to generate and retain business depends on our reputation in the marketplace;
we must successfully attract, hire, train and retain skilled professionals to service our clients’ projects and we must productively deploy our professionals to remain profitable;
increases in wages, equity compensation and other compensation expenses could prevent us from sustaining our competitive advantage and increase our costs;
our business and operations may be harmed if we cannot positively evolve and preserve our Thoughtworks culture;
our global business exposes us to operational, geopolitical, regulatory, legal and economic risks;
our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or changes in our effective tax rates;
if we fail to adequately innovate, adapt and/or remain at the forefront of emerging technologies and related client demands, we could be materially adversely affected;
we may not be successful at attracting new clients or retaining and expanding our relationships with our existing clients;
we face intense competition and operate in a rapidly evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects;
we generally do not have long-term commitments or contracts with our clients;
we face risks associated with having a long selling and implementation cycle for our services;
our profitability could suffer if we cannot accurately price our solutions and services, maintain favorable pricing for our solutions and services, are unable to collect on receivables from clients or fail to meet our contractual and other obligations to clients;
the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business and operations, and future business and operational challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect us;
we face risks associated with security breaches as well as privacy and data protection regulations, and we may incur significant liabilities if we fail to manage those risks;
we may not be able to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property, and our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our business and competitive position;
investment funds advised by Apax Partners L.L.P. control us, and such control may give rise to actual or perceived conflicts of interests;
our status as a “controlled company” will grant us exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements, and our status as an “emerging growth company” will allow us to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements; and

other factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 8, 2022 (the "2021 Annual Report").
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, include, but are not limited to, those disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report and in our 2021 Annual Report. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

THOUGHTWORKS HOLDING, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) develops, implements, and services complex enterprise application software, and provides business technology consulting. The Company conducts business in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Ecuador, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. is the ultimate parent holding company of Thoughtworks, Inc. among other subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.
Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on results of operations previously reported.
Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses, valuation and impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, income taxes, accrued bonus, contingencies, stock-based compensation and litigation costs. The Company bases its estimates on current expectations and historical experience and on other assumptions that its management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities when those values are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results can differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements in the future. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected to occur for the entire year. In management’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Stock Split
Prior to the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO") which closed on September 17, 2021, the Company effected an approximate 43.6-for-1 split of each outstanding share of common stock (the "Stock Split"). All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to effect the Stock Split for all periods presented.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash is restricted as to withdrawal or use. The Company has restricted cash held on deposit at various financial institutions. The amounts are held to secure bank guarantees of amounts related to government requirements and as collateral for a corporate credit card.

Table of Contents


Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting which requires it to allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the net assets acquired for the business is determined utilizing expectations and assumptions believed reasonable by management. The excess of the purchase consideration transferred over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. As additional information is obtained about the assets and liabilities of the acquisition during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with an offset to goodwill. After the measurement period, any adjustments are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
Some business combinations may include a contingent consideration agreement. The Company determines the fair value of the contingent consideration liability using a Monte Carlo Simulation. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date with adjustments recorded within other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.
Government Assistance
The Company has historically received government subsidies in the form of cash in China and Singapore related to expenses such as rent, wages, training benefits and taxes. The subsidies are recorded against the related expense within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense or cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company recorded an immaterial amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) in the first quarter of 2022. See “—Recently Adopted Accounting Standards” below for further discussion. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily through trade receivables and unbilled receivables. Activity related to the Company’s allowance for credit losses is as follows (in thousands):

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting and requires lessees to recognize virtually all leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability (for other than short term leases). The Company early adopted the standard effective January 1, 2022. The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method, and as a result, the Company did not adjust its comparative period financial information or make the new required lease disclosures for periods before the date of adoption. The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess: (i) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs resulting from the lease. The Company did not elect the

hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of operating lease assets. The Company is electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of 12 months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also elected the option to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for the Company's entire population of lease assets. Upon adoption, the Company recorded $40.9 million of right-of-use assets ("ROU") and $43.7 million of lease liabilities. Refer to Note 7, Leases, for further discussion.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the accounting guidance and requires the measurement of all expected losses based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, or a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. For trade receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, companies are required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which delayed the effective date for the CECL standard. The guidance and related amendments are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date.
The Company early adopted the accounting standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2022 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption mainly impacts trade receivables and unbilled receivables. The Company analyzed its historical credit loss experience and considered current conditions and reasonable forecasts in developing the expected credit loss rates. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance (Topic 832), which requires business entities to provide certain disclosures when they (1) have received government assistance and (2) use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Entities may apply the ASU’s provisions either (1) prospectively to all transactions within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 832 that are reflected in the financial statements as of the adoption date and all new transactions entered into after the date of adoption or (2) retrospectively. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The optional amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, and upon adoption may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the condensed consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which amends ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the ASU’s provisions prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the condensed consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had net fixed assets of $27.7 million and $26.6 million, respectively, outside the United States.
Note 2 – Revenue Recognition
The Company disaggregates revenues from contracts with customers by geographic customer location, industry vertical and revenue contract types. Geographic customer location is pertinent to understanding the Company's revenues, as the Company generates its revenues from providing professional services to customers in various regions across the world. The Company groups customers into one of five industry verticals. Revenue contract types are differentiated by the type of pricing structure for customer contracts, which is predominantly time-and-materials, but also includes fixed price contracts.

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract
The Company incurs certain incremental costs to obtain a contract that the Company expects to recover. The Company applies a practical expedient and recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs would primarily relate to commissions paid to our account executives and are included in SG&A expenses. The Company did not have long term contracts to capitalize related costs prior to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Note 3 – Acquisitions
On April 26, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Connected Lab Inc. ("Connected"), an end-to-end product design and development firm that partners with their clients to discover and deliver products that drive business impact, in an all-cash transaction for a gross purchase price of approximately $83.8 million, or $79.4 million net of cash acquired of $4.4 million, which is inclusive of a $14.0 million contingent consideration liability as discussed below and other adjustments. Connected is now wholly owned by the Company. The acquisition will advance the Company's capabilities in solving business problems through product-led design processes, from defining the strategy to discovery and delivery and enhance the Thoughtworks customer experience, product and design service line in North America.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded a liability of $14.0 million of contingent consideration, which is included within the total purchase price and classified within accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The present value of the contingent consideration liability was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation that calculated the average present value of the earnout payment. The fair value measurement of the earnout includes a performance metric which is an unobservable Level 3 input. The contingent consideration is payable in cash dependent upon achievement of the performance metric. The liability will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting date with adjustments recorded within other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. As of June 30, 2022, the maximum potential payout is $17.1 million and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2023.

Note 5 – Income Taxes
Prior to the IPO, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year to the pre-tax income or loss for the interim period, adjusting the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Upon the IPO, due to the magnitude of transaction related stock-based compensation costs, the Company's forecasted pre-tax income for the year is causing the tax rate to be highly sensitive, whereby minor changes in forecasted pre-tax income generate significant variability in the estimated annual effective tax rate. This is impacting the customary relationship between income tax expense and pre-tax income in interim periods. Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, the Company concluded that it could not calculate a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate due to the range of potential impacts for the aforementioned forecast changes. Accordingly, the Company computed the effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 using actual results, as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, Income Taxes-Interim Reporting.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was (11.2)% and 36.3%, respectively and (3.8)% and 28.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate in each period differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for such period primarily due to U.S. corporate state income taxation and the effect of foreign operations which reflects the impact of higher income tax rates in locations outside the United States, offset by excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the prior periods, was primarily due to the non-deductibility of China SAFE restricted stock units ("RSUs"), the unfavorable impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of select foreign operations, and the non-deductibility of executive compensation expense in compliance with §162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The negative effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is a

result of the aforementioned unique net unfavorable items when compared to the pre-tax loss recorded for the respective periods.
Note 6 – Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock of the Company, including outstanding stock options, unvested RSUs, and unvested PSUs, to the extent the shares are dilutive. PSU shares are not included in dilution during the performance period. Once the performance period is completed, the PSU shares will be included in dilution during the remaining service period, to the extent they are dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per common share are the same for all periods presented, as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. For comparability purposes, all prior period share amounts presented have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Stock Split, and share counts below also reflect the conversion of preferred stock to common stock on a 1-for-1 basis upon the occurrence of the IPO.
The components of basic and diluted loss per common share are as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 7 – Leases
The Company leases facilities (office space and corporate apartments) and equipment (IT equipment) under various non-cancelable operating leases that expire through December 2031, some of which include one or more options to extend the leases, generally at rates to be determined in accordance with the agreements. The Company's facility leases generally provide for periodic rent increases and may contain escalation clauses and renewal options. The Company's lease terms include options to extend the lease if they are reasonably certain of being exercised.
The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. Operating lease expense and the related variable lease expense is recorded within SG&A expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company does not have finance leases.

Table of Contents


The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at lease inception. If the borrowing rate implicit in the lease is not determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") based on information available at lease commencement including prevailing financial market conditions to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company has elected the option to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for the Company's entire population of lease assets.
Operating lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, and lease incentives. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leased assets are presented net of accumulated amortization. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease, such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the ROU assets or liabilities; instead, these are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense.
Adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the initial recognition of ROU assets of $40.9 million and lease liabilities of $43.7 million.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company does not have any leases that create significant rights and obligations that have not yet commenced. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, operating lease cost was $5.1 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The Company's short-term lease cost and variable lease cost were immaterial.

The remainder of $65.6 million is primarily related to the annual grant and considered recurring. The total unamortized expense is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.
Performance Stock Units
In April 2022, the Board of Directors approved the grant of performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executives and employees under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan"). Awards with a performance and time-based vesting as well as awards with market-based performance vesting components were granted. The performance and time-based PSUs are subject to the Company’s achievement of specified profit targets. The market-based awards are tied to the Company's performance against relative total shareholder return ("rTSR") targets. Both types of PSUs vest over a three-year service period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our 2021 Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read the sections titled “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report and “Forward-Looking Statements” herein for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Quarterly results reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for a full year or any future period.
Overview
We are a global technology consultancy that integrates strategy, design and engineering to drive digital innovation. We are 12,000+ Thoughtworkers strong across 50 offices in 17 countries. Over the last 25+ years, we have delivered extraordinary impact together with our clients by helping them solve complex business problems with technology as the differentiator.
Our revenues are generated from providing professional services based on the mix and locations of delivery professionals involved, the pricing structure, which is predominantly time-and-materials, and the type of services, including: enterprise modernization, platforms & cloud; customer experience, product & design; data & artificial intelligence; and digital transformation & operations.
Key Operational and Business Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key operational and business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions (in thousands, except percentages):

(1)Certain of our subsidiaries use functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the translation of these foreign currency amounts into the U.S. dollar can impact the comparability of our revenues between periods. Accordingly, we use Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency as an important indicator of our underlying performance. Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency is calculated by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the earlier comparative fiscal period to the later fiscal period.
(2)We use Adjusted Net Income as an important indicator of our performance. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a definition of and reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, how we use this measure and an explanation of why we consider this non-GAAP measure to be helpful for investors.

(3)We also use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as important indicators of our performance. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a definition of and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, how we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and an explanation of why we consider these non-GAAP measures to be helpful for investors.
Revenue Growth Rate and Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, revenues increased 27.5% and 31.1%, respectively. Acquisitions completed in the last twelve months contributed approximately 2% and 1% to revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Had our consolidated revenues been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we would have reported revenue growth of 33.5% and 35.7%, respectively. The negative impact to revenues from foreign currencies was due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to certain principal functional currencies of our subsidiaries.
For more detail regarding our exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations, see Note 2, Revenue Recognition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements and “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
Net (Loss) Income, Net (Loss) Income Margin and Adjusted Net Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the $48.1 million decrease in net income and 16.0 percentage point decrease in net income margin as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 were driven by increased stock-based compensation expense of $46.8 million, $36.3 million included in cost of revenues and $10.5 million included in SG&A expenses, which includes (a) $34.4 million related to the RSU grants issued in connection with the IPO; (b) $19.4 million related to RSU and PSU grants awarded post-IPO; partially offset by (c) $7.0 million related to options granted in prior years. The decreases in net income and net income margin were also driven by increased payroll expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) of $50.2 million, $45.0 million included in cost of revenues and $5.2 million included in SG&A expenses, due to our investment in additional headcount to support revenue growth. The aforementioned increases in stock-based compensation expense and payroll expenses were partially offset by revenue growth of $71.7 million, or 27.5%, reflecting strong demand for our services and our continued focus on obtaining new clients and growing our existing client relationships and a $7.3 million decrease in income tax expense.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the increase in Adjusted Net Income as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $12.7 million, or 52.0%, was primarily due to higher revenues as a result of strong demand for our services alongside our differentiated value proposition and premium services driving a higher bill rate, improved efficiencies in the cost of delivering the general and administrative activities of our business, and a decrease in income tax expense. This was partially offset by increased payroll expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) to support revenue growth and decreased utilization.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the $126.6 million decrease in net income and 21.2 percentage point decrease in net income margin as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 were driven by increased stock-based compensation expense of $165.7 million, $119.0 million included in cost of revenues and $46.7 million included in SG&A expenses, which includes (a) $47.7 million related to the approval of China SAFE RSUs; (b) $90.6 million related to the RSU grants issued in connection with the IPO; (c) $34.6 million related to RSU and PSU grants awarded post-IPO; partially offset by (d) $7.2 million related to options granted in prior years. The decreases in net income and net income margin were also driven by increased payroll expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) of $100.5 million, $87.3 million included in cost of revenues and $13.2 million included in SG&A expenses, due to our investment in additional headcount to support revenue growth. The aforementioned increases in stock-based compensation expense and payroll expenses were partially offset by revenue growth of $155.0 million, or 31.1%, reflecting strong demand for our services and our continued focus on obtaining new clients and growing our existing client relationships and decreases in acquisition related expenses of $6.2 million and income tax expense of $11.6 million. For more information, see “—Results of Operations.” We consider net income margin as the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the increase in Adjusted Net Income as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $21.6 million, or 36.3%, was due to higher revenues as a result of strong demand for

our services, partially offset by increased payroll expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) to support revenue growth.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $7.3 million, or 14.2%, was due to higher revenues as demand for our services increased and efficiencies in our general and administrative expenses, partially offset by decreased utilization, higher operating expenses such as increased payroll expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) to support revenue growth and public company costs. The 210 basis point decrease in Adjusted EBITDA Margin as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to seasonality related to annual pay rises, decreased utilization and public company costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $26.3 million, or 25.1%, was due to higher revenues as demand for our services increased, partially offset by public company costs and higher operating expenses as certain costs, such as payroll (excluding stock-based compensation) increased to support revenue growth. The 100 basis point decrease in Adjusted EBITDA Margin as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to increased payroll costs to support revenue growth, partially offset by higher revenues.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our long-term financial trend is characterized by strong organic growth, strong client retention, a significant amount of revenues from existing clients and substantial margin optimization with the support of onshore, nearshore and offshore delivery centers. Our performance for historical periods and future periods is driven by numerous factors discussed, including the following key factors.
Ability to retain and expand existing client relationships
For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022, we served over 390 clients, which we define as clients with spend in excess of $25,000 within the preceding twelve months, many of whom we work with across multiple geographies. We actively manage our client portfolio and target clients where we believe there is opportunity to develop long-term relationships and drive significant growth. Accordingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 88.9% and 89.9%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from existing clients, which we define as clients for whom we have done work and generated revenues in excess of $25,000 within the preceding fiscal year. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 92.1% and 90.4%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from existing clients. For the trailing twelve month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 86.5% and 88.0%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from existing clients, which we define as clients for whom we have done work and generated revenues in excess of $25,000 within the preceding twelve months. This represents increases of 53.7% and 33.5% in revenues from new and existing clients, respectively. For the trailing twelve month periods through June 30, 2022 and 2021, 33 and 25 clients, respectively, generated greater than $10 million in revenues, a 32.0% increase in the number of clients.
While we continue to derive a substantial part of our overall revenues from existing clients, we maintain relatively low client concentration among our largest clients. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we experienced strong growth in our top five, ten and fifty clients and a continued diversification of our business. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenues from our top five, ten and fifty clients as a percentage of total revenues were 15.3%, 25.2% and 66.1%, respectively, compared to 17.9%, 29.0% and 72.7%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenues from our top five, ten and fifty clients as a percentage of total revenues were 15.1%, 25.5% and 65.6%, respectively, compared to 18.2%, 29.2% and 72.7%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
We also utilize the net dollar retention rate to measure revenue growth from our clients. Net dollar retention rate provides visibility into the risks associated with our revenues and expected growth, and it measures our ability to continually offer and deliver innovative services to our clients. We use this metric to appropriately manage resources and client retention and growth, such as account management and capability development
27

Table of Contents
of our account leadership teams. The net dollar retention rate is calculated by dividing (a) the trailing twelve month period revenue from existing clients by (b) the prior comparative period revenue from existing clients.
The net dollar retention rate increased to approximately 124% for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022 from 107% for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2021. The net dollar retention rate for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2021 was largely driven by the impact of COVID-19. Starting in the second quarter of 2020, we experienced pauses in ongoing engagements and select project cancellations as certain of our clients focused on the immediate challenges linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, we pivoted our focus to companies and different sectors that were increasing their spending on digital transformation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022, our sector diversification has enabled us to continue to balance sales exposure and provide value to our clients and drive growth across our client base. As a result of our continued growth trend, the net dollar retention rate increased for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022.
Ability to acquire new clients
We intend to continue to acquire new clients through programs designed to generate new business demand and position us as a trusted partner. Winning new business in existing and new geographies and industry verticals is a critical component of our growth strategy. Dedicated new business teams work with marketing using data-driven approaches to focus on client acquisition efforts. Commensurately, our total number of clients increased to 395 as of June 30, 2022 from 374 as of June 30, 2021, as we saw increased demand for our global services, including in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific region ("APAC") and Latin America ("LATAM"). Going forward, we may also add new clients, including in new geographies and industry verticals, through selective strategic acquisitions.
Expanding our technical capabilities and client solutions
We combine strategy, design and software engineering expertise to offer premium, end-to-end solutions to our clients. Our value proposition is based on our thought leadership and expertise across innovative new technologies, differentiated client solutions across our service lines and local and nearshore capabilities (i.e., those delivered from nearby countries in similar time zones) and offshore capabilities (i.e., those delivered from distant countries in different time zones). Our premium position enabled us to drive average revenue per employee of approximately $58,000, or $116,000 annualized, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $59,000, or $118,000 annualized, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We believe our average revenue per employee is meaningfully higher than all our pure-play competitors. We define average revenue per employee as total revenues for the period divided by the average number of employees in such period. Our ability to continue delivering premium and innovative services to our clients depends on evolving our technical and engineering capabilities.
Ability to recruit and retain talent
To provide services to our clients, we must efficiently hire, train and retain skilled professionals without compromising on the high standards we set for our people. We believe our ability to attract and retain top talent drives high client satisfaction and enables us to deliver on strong client demand to generate growth. Apart from driving high client satisfaction, lower attrition leads to lower hiring and training costs and increased productivity. For the trailing twelve month period through June 30, 2022, our voluntary attrition rate was 12.9%, down from 14.1% for the trailing twelve month period through June 30, 2021. We believe the decrease in attrition was due to higher retention as a result of our unique culture, focus on career development, intensive training programs and interesting work opportunities. We increased our total number of employees to over 12,000 as of June 30, 2022.
Ability to optimize our global delivery
We have a global footprint with the ability to deliver services from multiple geographic regions. As of June 30, 2022, 9 out of our top 10 clients relied on Thoughtworks’ delivery from more than one region. We utilize a blended delivery model, which means we are able to offer a combination of local talent with nearshore/offshore talent, allowing us to maintain close proximity to our clients for context and local market knowledge, while driving rapid and high-quality delivery at scale.

Components of Our Operating Results
We operate and manage our business as one reportable segment. While the Company has offerings in multiple market segments and operates in multiple countries, the Company’s business operates as one operating segment. Almost all of the Company’s service offerings are delivered and supported on a global basis. Additionally, most of the Company’s service offerings are deployed in a nearly identical way and the Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis.
Revenues
Time-and-Materials Revenues. We generate the majority of our revenues under time-and-materials contracts, which are billed using hourly, daily or monthly rates to determine the amounts to be charged to the client. Revenue from time-and-material contracts is based on the number of hours worked and at contractually agreed-upon hourly rates and is recognized as those services are rendered as control of the services passes to the customer over time.
Fixed-Price Revenues. Fixed-price contracts include application development arrangements, where progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured using input methods as there is a direct correlation between hours incurred and the end product delivered to the client. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period. Revenues under these contracts are recognized using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress toward satisfying performance obligations.
For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policy, refer to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of personnel and related costs directly associated with the professional services, including salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation, project related travel costs and costs of contracted third-party vendors. Also included in cost of revenues is depreciation attributable to the portion of our property and equipment utilized in the delivery of services to our clients.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit represents revenues less cost of revenues. Gross margin represents gross profit as a percentage of revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses represent expenses associated with promoting and selling our services and general and administrative functions of our business. These expenses include the costs of salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation, severance, bad debt, travel, legal and accounting services, insurance, facilities (including operating leases), advertising and other promotional activities.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization consist primarily of depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of capitalized software development costs (internal-use software) and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
Other (Expense) Income
Other (expense) income consists of interest expense, impacts from foreign exchange transactions, gains (losses) on the sale of assets, change in fair value of contingent consideration and the write-off of deferred financing fees.

Income Tax Expense
Determining the consolidated income tax expense, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and any potential related valuation allowances involves judgment. We consider factors that may contribute, favorably or unfavorably, to the overall annual effective tax rate in the current year as well as the future. These factors include statutory tax rates and tax law changes in the countries where we operate as well as consideration of any significant or unusual items. Our income tax expense includes the impact of provisions established for uncertain income tax positions, as well as any related interest and penalties. These reserves are adjusted given changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, statute of limitation lapse or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent the final outcome of an uncertain income tax position differs from the amounts recorded, such differences will impact our income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.

Summary Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $71.7 million, or 27.5%, to $332.1 million, compared to $260.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenues was driven by higher demand for services as clients execute on their digital transformation strategies, an increase in headcount and our differentiated value proposition and premium services driving a higher bill rate. This was

partially offset by decreased utilization. The majority of our revenues are generated from existing clients or those expanding their usage of our services. Revenue recognized from our existing client base was approximately 88.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 89.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, with the remainder of our revenue attributable to new clients.
Our revenue growth primarily depends on our ability to retain and drive growth from existing clients. The net dollar retention rate was approximately 124% and 107% for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For a discussion of the factors impacting our net dollar retention rate, see "—Key Factors Affecting Our Performance—Net Dollar Retention Rate."
Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $42.9 million, or approximately 123.4%, to a loss from operations of $8.1 million compared to income from operations of $34.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Loss from operations as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was (2.5)%, compared to income from operations of 13.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation of $46.8 million, as previously discussed.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were (11.2)% and 36.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate in each period differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% principally due to U.S. corporate state income taxation and the effect of foreign operations which reflects the impact of different income tax rates in locations outside the United States, offset by excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year was primarily due to the non-deductibility of China SAFE RSUs, the unfavorable impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of select foreign operations, and the non-deductibility of executive compensation expense in compliance with §162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The negative effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is a result of the aforementioned unique net unfavorable items when compared to the pre-tax loss recorded for the quarter.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $48.1 million to a loss position of $30.0 million compared to net income of $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by an increase in stock-based compensation of $46.8 million.
Summary Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $155.0 million, or 31.1%, to $653.0 million, compared to $498.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenues was driven by higher demand for services as clients execute on their digital transformation strategies. The majority of our revenues are generated from existing clients or those expanding their usage of our services. Revenue recognized from our existing client base was approximately 92.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and approximately 90.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, with the remainder of our revenue attributable to new clients.
Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $134.9 million, or approximately 202.0%, to a loss from operations of $(68.1) million compared to income from operations of $66.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Loss from operations as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was (10.4)%, compared to income from operations of 13.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation of $165.7 million, as previously discussed.
Our effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were (3.8)% and 28.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate in each period differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% principally due to U.S. corporate state income taxation and the effect of foreign operations which reflects the impact of different income tax rates in locations outside the United States, offset by excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. The change in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year was primarily due to the non-deductibility of China SAFE RSUs, the unfavorable impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of select foreign operations and the non-deductibility of executive compensation expense in compliance with §162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The negative effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is a result of the aforementioned unique net unfavorable items when compared to the pre-tax loss recorded for the period.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $126.6 million to a net loss of $(89.9) million compared to net income of $36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net income was driven by an increase in stock-based compensation of $165.7 million, which includes $47.7 million related to the approval of China SAFE during the first quarter of 2022.
Revenues
We continue to expand our international presence and nearshore capabilities in different geographies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, total revenues grew 27.5% and 31.1%, respectively, to $332.1 million and $653.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in revenues was attributable to continued strong demand for our services, including strong growth across geographies and verticals, and expansion in our top fifty clients. In addition, the increase is driven by an increase in headcount and our differentiated value proposition and premium services driving a higher bill rate. This was partially offset by decreased utilization.

Revenues by Customer Location
Our revenues are sourced from four geographic markets: North America, APAC, Europe and LATAM. We present and discuss our revenues by the geographic location where the revenues are under client contract; however, the delivery of those client contracts could be supported by offshore delivery locations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we had revenue growth of 35.0% and 35.4%, respectively, in North America, with the United States contributing revenues of $123.5 million and $238.6 million, respectively, compared to $92.6 million and $178.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. The largest client demand came from the energy, public and health services vertical followed by the technology and business services industry vertical which was primarily driven by our clients executing on their digital transformation strategies. Further, our ability to retain existing clients and increase the level of services we provide resulted in incremental revenue expansion.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we had revenue growth of 22.4% and 30.7%, respectively, in APAC where the top revenue contributing customer location country was Australia with revenues of $39.8 million and $76.1 million, respectively, compared to $26.2 million and $52.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. The largest client demand came from the technology and business services industry vertical driven by increased client demand on digital transformation projects.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had revenue growth of 21.9% in Europe where the top revenue contributing customer location country was Germany with revenues of $30.3 million compared to $28.1 million, respectively, for the same period in 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had revenue growth of 25.7% in Europe where the top revenue contributing customer location country was the United Kingdom with revenues of $70.3 million compared to $53.5 million for the same period in 2021. The largest client demand came from our automotive, travel and transportation industry vertical where certain automotive manufacturers and service providers continued to focus on digital transformation.

The largest client demand came from our retail and consumer vertical where our clients continued to focus on digital transformation.
Revenues by Client Concentration
We have long-standing relationships with many of our clients. We seek to grow revenues from our existing clients by continually increasing the value we provide and expanding the scope and size of our engagements. Revenues derived from these clients may fluctuate as these accounts mature or upon beginning or completing multi-year projects. We believe there is significant potential for future growth as we expand our capabilities and offerings within existing clients. In addition, we remain committed to diversifying our client base and adding new clients to our client mix.
The following table presents revenues contributed by our largest clients by amount and as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

Table of Contents
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, revenues from our top five, ten and fifty clients experienced strong but slower growth compared to our year-over-year growth rate of 27.5% and 31.1%, respectively. We continued to focus on opportunities with new and existing clients and further diversify our business. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, 11.1% of revenues came from new clients and 88.9% of revenues from existing clients, representing increases of 39.9% and 26.1% in revenues from new and existing clients, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, 7.9% of revenues came from new clients and 92.1% of revenues from existing clients, representing increases of 8.3% and 33.6% in revenues from new and existing clients, respectively.
Bookings
We use Bookings ("Bookings") as a forward-looking metric that measures the value of new contracts, renewals, extensions and changes to existing contracts during the fiscal period. We believe Bookings provides a broad measure of useful trend information regarding changes in the volume of our business. We use Bookings to evaluate the results of our operations, generate future operating plans and assess the performance of our company. However, Bookings can vary significantly quarter to quarter due to both timing and demand from our clients and thus the conversion of Bookings to revenues is uncertain. The amount of Bookings involves estimates and judgments and is not a reliable predictor of revenues over time. There is no standard definition or measurement of Bookings thus our methodology may not be comparable to other companies. Bookings were $1,454 million and $1,112 million for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, cost of revenues (including stock-based compensation) increased by $87.4 million, or 57.4%, and $216.0 million, or 75.2%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The increases were primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $36.3 million and $119.0 million, respectively, and an increase in payroll and benefit expenses of $45.0 million and $87.3 million, respectively, due to higher headcount as we invested in additional talent to support growth. The increase in payroll and benefit expenses was also due to pay increases in the second quarter of 2022. This was partially offset by improved mix due to geography and increased staffing leverage.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, SG&A expenses increased 39.9% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expense of $10.5 million, payroll expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) of $5.2 million and bad debt expense of $2.5 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, SG&A expenses increased 53.7% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven by increases in stock-based compensation expense of $46.7 million, payroll expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) of $13.2 million, facility expenses of $4.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition-related retention payments of $6.2 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gains and Losses
See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report as well as “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Global Operations—Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates" as included in our 2021 Annual Report.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted Net Income as net (loss) income adjusted for unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency exchange, stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition costs, certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, tender offer compensation expense that is considered one-time in nature, IPO-related costs, the change in fair value of contingent consideration, final tax assessment for closed operations and income tax effects of adjustments.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income adjusted to exclude income tax expense, interest expense, other expense (income), net, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency exchange, stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition costs, certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, tender offer compensation expense that is considered one-time in nature, IPO-related costs and final tax assessment for closed operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income as measures of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for supplemental period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:
Our management uses Adjusted Net Income to assess our overall performance, without regard to items that are considered to be unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, net of the income tax effect of the adjustments;
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to the aforementioned adjustments which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired or costs that are unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations;
Our management uses Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance; and
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating results, and also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows:
Although depreciation and amortization expense is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
36

Table of Contents
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect (i) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (ii) accruals or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect transaction costs related to acquisitions; and
The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures when they report their operating results, and we may, in the future, exclude other significant, unusual or non-recurring expenses or other items from these financial measures.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered along with other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

Table of Contents
Our cash generated from operations and financing activities has been our primary source of liquidity to fund operations and investments. Our capital investments focus on our technology solutions, corporate infrastructure and strategic acquisitions to further expand into new business sectors and/or expand sales in existing sectors. The Company generates sufficient cash flows for working capital and expects to do so for the foreseeable future.
As of June 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $274.5 million and $165.0 million of available borrowings under our Revolver.
In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies, or intellectual property rights. To fund these acquisitions or investments, we may seek to access the debt or capital markets. Our ability to obtain additional funding will be subject to various factors, including general market conditions, our operating performance, the market’s perception of our growth potential, lender sentiment and our ability to incur additional debt in compliance with our contractual restrictions, including those in our Credit Agreement.
Our Credit Facilities
Our subsidiaries are party to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan and the Revolver. See Note 14, Credit Agreements, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report for a discussion of our Term Loan and Revolver. As of June 30, 2022, we had $506.1 million outstanding under our Term Loan with an interest rate of 4.42% and no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver. On July 21, 2022, we made a voluntary prepayment of $100.0 million on outstanding amounts owed on the term loan.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all the Borrowers’ direct and indirect wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries subject to customary exceptions (the “Guarantors” and together with the Borrowers and Holdings, the “Loan Parties”). The obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees of the Guarantors are secured by substantially all of the Loan Parties’ assets, subject to customary exceptions and thresholds.
Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus either (a) a base rate or (b) a LIBOR rate, at our option, subject to interest rate floors. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus either (x) a base rate or (y) a LIBOR rate at our option. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolver, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolver in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder and customary letter of credit fees. The applicable margins in respect of both the Term Loan and the Revolver are subject to adjustments based on our first lien leverage ratios and corporate family ratings. In the first quarter of 2022, the interest rate applicable to our Term Loan and our Revolver was permanently reduced by 25 basis points.
The Credit Agreement requires compliance with certain covenants customary for agreements of this type. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $21.5 million compared to $60.3 million for the comparable period in 2021. The decrease in cash provided was primarily due to an increase in trade receivables and unbilled receivables as a result of increased revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities driven by the payment of bonus, annual wage payment and commissions, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $77.6 million compared to $58.4 million in the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Connected in the second quarter of 2022.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $54.2 million driven by withholding taxes paid related to the following: net share settlement on equity awards of $29.0 million, tender offer of $15.5 million and dividends previously declared of $10.0 million.
Net cash used in financing activities of $250.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to the repurchase of shares and vested options from our securityholders using the proceeds from the issuance of $720.0 million of preferred stock, partially offset by proceeds from an increase in our term loan which were subsequently used to pay a dividend to our securityholders in April 2021.
Contractual Obligations and Future Capital Requirements
Contractual Obligations
We recorded an acquisition purchase price liability of $14.0 million for contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Connected which is expected to be paid in the second quarter of 2023. The fair value of the liability as of June 30, 2022 is $14.4 million.
Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, and Note 7, Leases, of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for further detail regarding the aforementioned contingent consideration and additional information related to our lease commitments.
There were no other material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.
Except as disclosed in “—Our Credit Facilities” and those mentioned above, we did not have other material contractual obligations for cash expenditures.
Future Capital Requirements
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents combined with our expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months and that we possess the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives, including the ability to make acquisitions and strategic investments in the foreseeable future. However, our ability to generate cash is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flow are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we incur new debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to common stockholders to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. If we issue additional equity or convertible debt securities, existing stockholders may experience dilution, and such new securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financings unattractive. Our inability to raise capital could impede our growth or otherwise require us to forego growth

opportunities and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all.
Commitments and Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements which may result in a loss to the Company but will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Such liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources, are recorded when the Company assesses that it is probable that a future liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries of costs from third parties, which the Company assesses as being probable of realization, are recorded to the extent of related contingent liabilities accrued. Legal costs incurred in connection with matters relating to contingencies are expensed in the period incurred. The Company records gain contingencies when realized.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during any of the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We re-evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results may differ from these estimates and could differ based upon other assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our 2021 Annual Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily result from changes in concentration of credit, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, civil unrest, political instability or uncertainty, military activities, broad-based sanctions, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.
There were no material changes to the information on market risk disclosure from our 2021 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
41




defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, and are effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations and businesses that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, intellectual property, data privacy and cybersecurity, contract and employment, personal injury, product liability and warranty. Currently, there are no claims or proceedings against us that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and, regardless of the outcome, we may incur significant costs and experience a diversion of management resources as a result of litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the 2021 Annual Report in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since those set forth in the 2021 Annual Report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no unregistered sales of the Company's equity securities during the second quarter of 2022.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
