PART I
Overview
We are the leading global provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. Our stated company purpose is to power the business of philanthropy from fundraising to outcomes. We strive to help our customers accomplish their missions and are guided by the following corporate values:
| Our people make us great. |
| Customers are at the heart of everything we do. |
| We must be good stewards of our resources. |
| Innovation drives success. |
| Our actions are guided by honesty and integrity. |
| Service to others makes the world a better place. |
Our customers use our products and services to help increase donations, reduce fundraising costs, build online communities and improve communications with constituents, manage their finances and optimize operations. We have focused solely on the nonprofit market since our incorporation in 1982. At the end of 2011, we had approximately 26,000 customers spread over 60 countries. Our customers come from nearly every segment of the nonprofit sector, including education, foundations, health and human services, faith-based, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare, and international and foreign affairs.
Nonprofit Industry
The nonprofit industry is large and diverse
There were more than 1.8 million U.S. nonprofit organizations registered with the Internal Revenue Service in 2010, including 1.3 million charitable 501(c)(3) organizations, and we estimate there are approximately another 2.0 million nonprofit organizations internationally. According to Giving USA 2011, donations to nonprofit organizations in the United States in 2010 were $290.9 billion, amounting to 2.0% of U.S. GDP, which increased from donations in 2009 of $280.3 billion. The compound annual growth rate of donations over the 40-year period from 1970 to 2010 was 6.8%, not adjusted for inflation. These organizations also receive fees for services they provide, which are estimated at more than $1 trillion annually.
1
Traditional methods of fundraising are often costly and inefficient
Many nonprofits use manual methods or stand-alone software applications not designed to manage fundraising. Such methods are often costly and inefficient because of the difficulties in effectively collecting, sharing, and using donation-related information. Furthermore, general purpose and Internet-related software applications frequently have limited functionality and do not efficiently integrate multiple databases. Based on our market research, nearly a quarter of every dollar donated is used for fundraising expenses alone. Some nonprofit organizations have developed proprietary software, but doing so is expensive, requiring on-site technical personnel for development, implementation and maintenance.
The nonprofit industry faces particular operational challenges
Nonprofit organizations must efficiently:
| Solicit funds and build relationships with major donors; |
| Garner small cash contributions from numerous contributors; |
| Manage and develop complex relationships with large numbers of constituents; |
| Communicate their accomplishments and importance of their mission; |
| Comply with complex accounting, tax and reporting issues that differ from traditional businesses; |
| Solicit cash and in-kind contributions from businesses to help raise money or deliver products/services; |
| Provide a wide array of programs and services to individual constituents; and |
| Improve the data collection and sharing capabilities of their employees, volunteers and donors by creating and providing distributed access to centralized databases. |
In addition, as a result of the negative impact the recent economic environment has had on donations, we believe the nonprofit sector has an even greater need for operational efficiencies to maximize the services they can deliver. Because of these challenges, we believe nonprofit organizations can benefit from software applications specifically designed to serve their particular needs.
Blackbaud Solutions
We offer a broad suite of products and services that address the fundraising needs and operational challenges facing nonprofit organizations. We provide our customers with software and services that help them increase donations, reduce the overall costs of managing their businesses and build a strong sense of community while effectively managing communications with their constituents. We provide our solutions to nonprofit organizations in several ways. We offer our products on a perpetual license basis, a software-as-a-service (SaaS), or as hosted software offerings. We also offer a suite of analytical tools and related services that enable nonprofit organizations to extract, aggregate and analyze vast quantities of data to make better-informed operational decisions. In addition, we help our customers increase the returns on their technology investments by providing a broad range of consulting, training and professional services, as well as maintenance and technical support.
Nonprofit organizations use our products and services to increase donations
Managing the fundraising process is a critical business function for nonprofits. Our fundraising and constituent relationship management solutions allow nonprofit organizations to establish, maintain and develop their relationships with current and prospective donors and other constituents. Our fundraising products and services enable them to use a centralized database, as well as the Internet and an array of analytical tools, to facilitate and expand their fundraising efforts. In addition, we believe our products and services help nonprofit organizations increase donations by enabling them to:
| Solicit large numbers of potential donors; |
| Deliver personalized messages that drive constituent action; |
2
| Provide an easy-to-use system for sharing and using critical fundraising information; |
| Utilize our Internet-based offerings to communicate their missions and receive online donations, support online volunteer and events management, and participate in social networks; and |

Our Strategy
Our objective is to maintain and extend our position as the leading provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, supporting their missions from fundraising to outcomes. Key strategies for achieving this objective are to:
Achieve worldwide constituent relationship management (CRM) leadership for our Blackbaud CRM product
We intend to extend the penetration of our Blackbaud CRM product line to larger, more complex nonprofit organizations, leveraging our expertise with enterprise implementations to achieve worldwide leadership in CRM. We believe our Blackbaud CRM solution is a scalable solution designed specifically to meet the needs of mid- to-large-sized organizations, bringing together disparate information such as annual and capital giving, gift planning, major giving, and volunteer systems, both online and offline and across various chapters and programs within a given organization. With a single system of record that can be securely and efficiently shared, organizations can turn their data into timely, actionable information that increases the success of their fundraising efforts, better synchronizes campaigns across chapters and field offices, and strengthens relationships with constituents.
We believe that our existing proprietary software can form the foundation for a wider range of solutions for nonprofit organizations. Our current products share over half of our proprietary software code and were developed using common standards and practices. We believe this shared code allows us to more cost effectively expedite the development and rollout of product offerings and updates. In addition, we are building our future product offerings on this common platform, which we anticipate will improve our ability to create new offerings
3
efficiently and expeditiously, while allowing our customers to seamlessly collect and analyze supporter information from a variety of sources. In the future, we plan to offer pre-packaged solutions designed to service an even larger group of nonprofit organizations.
Grow our worldwide customer base
We intend to expand our industry-leading customer base and enhance our market position. We have established a strong market presence with approximately 26,000 customers. We believe that the fragmented nature of the industry presents an opportunity for us to continue to increase our market penetration. We plan to achieve this by making use of our next generation solutions to continue transforming our business to cloud-based, which should allow us to serve the whole mid-market customer segment. We also plan to streamline our sales efforts to the small market customer segment and intend to expand our direct sales efforts, especially with regard to national, enterprise and global account-focused sales teams.
We believe the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Netherlands, as well as other international markets, represent growing market opportunities for our products and services. We believe the overall market of international nonprofit organizations is changing. Donations to international nonprofit organizations are becoming increasingly important in response to reductions in governmental funding. U.S.-based nonprofit organizations are growing their international activities and opening overseas locations. We believe the international marketplace is currently underserved, and we intend to increase our presence by expanding our sales and marketing efforts internationally. We plan to sell complementary products and services to our installed base of customers, and we plan to develop and offer new products tailored to international markets, including leveraging our market leading domestic analytics solutions to develop offerings tailored specifically to meet the needs of foreign and multi-national nonprofits.
Revolutionize the customer experience
We intend to make our customers experience with us effective, efficient and satisfying from the initial interest in our products and services, to purchase, to customer support and product enhancement. We continue to evolve the manner in which we package and sell our offerings to provide higher value combined with flexibility to meet the different needs of our existing and prospective customers. For example, we are increasing the number of our offerings sold under a subscription pricing model, which can make it easier for customers to purchase our solutions. We will continue to focus on providing the highest level of product support while continuing to enhance our existing products and developing new products and services designed to help allow our customers to more effectively achieve their missions.
Pursue strategic partnerships
We intend to continue to selectively pursue acquisitions, expansion of existing partnerships and the development of new strategic partnerships to enter new markets and pursue significant untapped opportunities. We intend to develop these alliances with companies that provide us with complementary technology, customers and personnel with significant relevant experience, as well as to increase our access to additional geographic and vertical markets. We have completed significant acquisitions over the past five years both in the United States and internationally and expect to continue to do so. We are also currently involved in a number of strategic relationships which allow us to provide a wider variety of offerings and provide customers with integrated solutions, further enhancing the value of our proprietary technology. We believe that our size and history of leadership in the nonprofit sector make us an attractive acquirer or partner for others in the industry.
Our Operating Structure
The nonprofit market is very diverse, with organizations that range from small, local charities to large, multinational relief organizations. The needs of nonprofits can vary greatly according to their size. To better
4
serve the wide variety of nonprofits in the market, we organize our operating structure into three operating units: the Enterprise Customer Business Unit, or ECBU, the General Markets Business Unit, or GMBU, and the International Business Unit, or IBU.
Following is a description of each of our operating units:
| The ECBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to large and/or strategic customers, specifically identified named prospects and customers in North America. In addition, the ECBU is focused on marketing, sales and delivery of analytic services to all prospects and customers worldwide. |
| The GMBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all emerging and mid-sized prospects and customers in North America that are not specifically identified as ECBU prospects and customers. |
| The IBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all prospects and customers outside of North America. |
Each operating unit contains specialized sales, services, support, marketing, and finance functions. We believe this structure allows us to be more responsive to the needs of fundamentally different customer segments and to focus on developing solutions appropriate for these unique markets while leveraging the infrastructure of our broader organization and shared technology in a cost-effective manner. It also allows us to develop highly customized approaches to marketing and selling our products in the markets we serve.
Products and Services
We license software and provide various services to our customers. During 2011, we generated revenue in four reportable segments and in four geographic regions, as described in more detail in Note 15 of our consolidated financial statements.
Software products
We offer nonprofit organizations a wide variety of software products, which can be used individually to help organizations with specific functions, such as fundraising, financial management, website management and prospect research, or combined into a fully-integrated suite of tools to help them manage multiple areas of their operations.

We also employ remote sales staff in metropolitan areas throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. As of December 31, 2011, we had 233 direct sales employees. We plan to continue expanding our direct sales force in the Americas, Europe, Australia and Asia as our operations grow internationally and market demand continues to recover from the current economic environment.

Each of our three operating units contains sales teams focused on the needs of its different customer segments. The GMBU sales teams focus on emerging and mid-sized accounts in North America. Our ECBU sales teams focus exclusively on large, enterprise-wide accounts. The IBU sales teams focus on all accounts outside of North America. Within each operating unit, the sales force is divided into two main areas of responsibility:
| Selling products and services to existing customers; and |
| Acquiring new customers. |
Sales representatives for ECBU and IBU sell all of our products and services. In general, GMBU sales representatives handle one product line in a designated geographic area. However, sales representatives for the K-12 independent schools market, small college market and the arts and cultural market sell all of our software products. In addition, we have a group of sales engineers who support both new and existing customers in the various market segments.
We generally begin a customer relationship with the sale of one of our primary products or services, such as The Raisers Edge, Blackbaud CRM or Sphere eMarketing, and then offer additional products and services to the customer as the organizations needs increase.
We conduct marketing programs to create brand recognition and market awareness for our products and services. Our marketing efforts include participation at tradeshows, technical conferences and technology seminars, publication of technical and educational articles in industry journals and preparation of competitive analyses. Our customers and strategic partners provide references and recommendations that we often feature in our advertising and promotional activities.
We believe relationships with third parties can enhance our sales and marketing efforts. We have and will continue to establish additional relationships with companies that provide services to the nonprofit industry, such as consultants, educators, publishers, financial service providers, complementary technology providers and data providers. These companies promote or complement our nonprofit solutions and provide us access to new customers.
Corporate Philanthropy and Volunteerism
We believe that service to others makes the world a better place and champion this value through our global corporate philanthropy and employee-focused programs. In addition to having employees select grant recipients for our endowment fund, we celebrate individual acts of service through a competitive grant program that honors excellent examples of volunteerism and benefits the organizations they serve.
Competition
The market for software and related services in the nonprofit sector is highly competitive, and the market is highly fragmented. For certain areas of the market, entry barriers are low. However, we believe our experience and product depth makes us a strong competitor. We expect to continue to see new competitors as the market matures and as nonprofit organizations become more aware of the advantages and efficiencies attainable through the use of specialized software. A number of diversified software enterprises have made acquisitions or developed products for the market, including SunGuard, Sage and Campus Management. Other companies that compete with us, such as Microsoft, Salesforce.com and Oracle, have greater marketing resources, revenue and market recognition than we do. They offer some products that are designed specifically for nonprofits, in addition to some of their products which have a degree of functionality for nonprofits that could be considered competitive. These larger companies could decide to focus more on the market with new, directly competitive products or through acquisitions of our current competitors.
11
We mainly face competition from four sources:
| Software developers offering specialized products designed to address specific needs of nonprofit organizations, some of which are sold with subscription pricing; |
| Providers of traditional, less automated fundraising services such as services that support traditional direct mail campaigns, special events fundraising, telemarketing and personal solicitations; |
| Custom-developed products created either internally or outsourced to custom service providers; and |
| Software developers offering general products not designed to address specific needs of nonprofit organizations. |
We compete with several software developers that provide specialized products, such as on-demand software specifically designed for nonprofit use. In addition, we compete with custom-developed solutions created either internally by the nonprofit organization or outside by custom service providers. We believe that we compete successfully, because building efficient, highly functional custom solutions equal to ours requires technical resources that are beyond the capabilities or cost-effectiveness of custom solution providers or that might not be available within the nonprofit organization. In addition, the nonprofit organizations legacy database and software system may not have been designed to support the increasingly complex and advanced needs of todays growing community of nonprofit organizations.
We also compete with providers of traditional, less automated fundraising services, including parties providing services in support of traditional direct mail campaigns, special events fundraising, telemarketing and personal solicitations. Although there are numerous general software developers marketing products that have some application in the nonprofit market, these competitors have generally neglected to focus specifically on this market and typically lack the domain expertise to cost effectively build or implement integrated solutions for the markets needs. We believe we compete successfully against these traditional fundraising services, primarily because our products and services are more automated, more robust and more efficient.
Research and Development
We have made substantial investments in research and development and expect to continue to do so as a part of our strategy to introduce additional products and services. As of December 31, 2011, we had 368 employees working on research and development. Our research and development expenses for the years ending on December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $47.7 million, $45.5 million and $45.5 million, respectively.
Technology and Architecture
We have products, such as Blackbaud CRM and Blackbaud Direct Marketing, that are built on the Microsoft .Net framework platform. These products are web-delivered applications utilizing a Service Oriented Architecture built on Internet standards and protocols such as HTTP, XML and SOAP. This architecture is designed to support flexible deployment scenarios including both on-premise, as well as hosted by Blackbaud in a cloud-based model. The applications expose web service application programming interfaces so that functionality and business logic can be accessed programmatically from outside the context of an interactive user application. This allows our customers to extend and modify the functionality of our applications without requiring them to make any source code or data modifications themselves. This is important for customers who want to customize our applications by incorporating their own business logic into key areas of the applications. The end result is a robust customization platform through which the application can be modified and extended without requiring source code alteration.
12
Our version 7.x generation products utilize a three-tier client server architecture built on the Microsoft Component Object Model, or COM. The architecture of both our .Net and COM-based development models ensure our applications are:
| Flexible. Our component-based architecture is programmable and easily customized by our customers without requiring modification of the source code, ensuring that the technology can be extended to accommodate changing demands of our clients and the market. |
| Adaptable. The architecture of our applications allows us to easily add features and functionality or to integrate with third-party applications in order to adapt to our customers needs or market demands. |
| Scalable. We combine a scalable architecture with the performance, capacity and load balancing of industry-standard web servers and databases used by our customers to ensure that the applications can scale to the needs of larger organizations. |
We have and intend to continue to license technologies from third parties that are integrated into our products. We believe that the loss of any third-party technologies currently integrated into our products would not have a material adverse effect on our business, but this might change in the future.
Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights
To protect our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws in various jurisdictions, as well as employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and confidentiality procedures. We have a number of registered trademarks, including Blackbaud, The Raisers Edge and Blackbaud CRM. We have applied for additional trademarks. We currently have three active patents on our technology.
Employees
As of December 31, 2011, we had 2,256 employees, consisting of 479 in sales and marketing, 368 in research and development, 597 in consulting and professional services, 296 in customer support, 302 in subscriptions and 214 general and administrative personnel. None of our employees are represented by unions or are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We are not involved in any material disputes with any of our employees, and we believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory.

Our business operations face a number of risks. These risks should be read and considered with other information provided in this report.
Risks Related to the Proposed Acquisition of Convio
The proposed acquisition of Convio might not be completed within the expected timeframe, or at all, and the failure to complete such acquisition could adversely affect our stock price and our future business and financial results.
On January 16, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Convio. The Agreement is an executory contract subject to numerous closing conditions beyond our control including, but not limited to, approval by the United States Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice, whose review of the transaction has required us to extend our tender offer and delay closing. There is no guarantee that these
15
conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. If any of the conditions to our proposed acquisition of Convio are not satisfied (or waived by Convio), we may not complete the proposed acquisition or realize the anticipated benefits thereof. Disputes regarding interpretations of the Agreement could also delay or prevent the closing. In addition, the market price of our common stock may reflect various market assumptions as to whether and when the proposed acquisition will occur. Consequently, the failure to complete the proposed acquisition within the expected timeframe, or at all, could result in a significant change in the market price of our common stock.
The announcement and pendency of the proposed acquisition might cause disruptions in our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations following completion of the acquisition.
The announcement and pendency of the proposed acquisition could cause disruptions in our business and/or the business of Convio. Specifically:
| Current and prospective employees might experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect our ability to retain key Blackbaud and Convio personnel and attract new personnel; |
| Current and prospective customers might experience uncertainty about our ability to meet their needs, which might cause customers to seek other suppliers for the products and services; and |
| Managements attention might be focused on the proposed acquisition, which would divert managements attention from the core business and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to our stockholders. |
This could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Blackbaud and/or Convio prior to the completion of the proposed acquisition and on us following the completion of the proposed acquisition. These disruptions could be exacerbated by further delay in the completion of the proposed acquisition.
Convio might have liabilities that are not known, probable or estimable at this time.
As a result of the acquisition, Convio will become our subsidiary, and we will effectively assume all of its liabilities, whether or not asserted. There could be unasserted claims or assessments that we failed or were unable to discover or identify in the course of performing due diligence investigations of Convio. In addition, there might be liabilities that are neither probable nor estimable at this time which become probable and estimable in the future. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We might learn additional information about Convio that adversely affects us, such as unknown, unasserted or contingent liabilities and issues relating to compliance with applicable laws.
The proposed acquisition might not be accretive and might cause dilution to the combined companys earnings per share, which could negatively impact the price of our common stock following the completion of the proposed acquisition.
We currently anticipate that the proposed acquisition will be accretive to the non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of the combined company during the first full calendar year after the acquisition is completed. This expectation is based on preliminary estimates of certain synergies expected to be realized by the combined company during such time, including the elimination of Convios expenses related to operating as a publicly traded company and excluding the impact of merger-related expenses. Such estimates and assumptions could materially change due to the failure to realize any or all of the benefits expected in the acquisition or other factors beyond our control or the control of Convio. All of these factors could delay, decrease or eliminate the expected accretive effect of the acquisition and cause resulting dilution to our non-GAAP EPS or to the price of our common stock.
16
We significantly increased our leverage in connection with the financing of the proposed acquisition of Convio.
We amended and restated our credit agreement in February 2012 to increase our borrowing capacity to $325.0 million. We expect to incur a substantial amount of indebtedness in connection with our acquisition of Convio. As a result of this indebtedness, our interest payment obligations will increase. The degree to which we are leveraged could have adverse effects on our business, including the following:
| Making it difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under our credit facility and contractual and commercial commitments; |
| Requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and other general corporate purposes; |
| Limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate; |
| Restricting us from making additional strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities; |
| Placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; |
| Limiting our ability to borrow additional funds; and |
| Decreasing our ability to compete effectively or operate successfully under adverse economic and industry conditions. |
If we incur additional debt, these risks will intensify. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend upon our future performance, which will be subject to the financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control.
We might experience difficulties in integrating Convios business and realizing the expected benefits of the proposed acquisition.
Our ability to achieve the benefits we anticipate from the proposed acquisition will depend in large part on whether we are able to integrate Convios business into our business in an efficient and effective manner. We might not be able to integrate Convios business smoothly or successfully, and the process might take longer than expected. The integration of operations and the differences in operational culture following the proposed acquisition will require the dedication of significant management resources, which might distract managements attention from day-to-day business operations. If we are unable to successfully integrate the operations of Convios business into our business, we will not realize the revenue growth, synergies and other anticipated benefits we expect to achieve as a result of the proposed acquisition and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business Currently
General economic factors, both domestically and internationally, might adversely affect our financial performance.
General economic conditions, globally or in one or more of the markets we serve, might adversely affect our financial performance. Weakness in the financial and housing markets, inflation, higher levels of unemployment, unavailability of consumer credit, higher consumer debt levels, volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets, higher tax rates and other changes in tax laws, overall economic slowdown and other economic factors could adversely affect donations to non-profits, reducing their revenue and therefore possibly their demand for the products and services we sell and lengthen our sales and payment cycles. Higher interest rates, inflation, higher costs of labor, insurance and healthcare, higher tax rates and other changes in tax laws, changes in other laws and regulations and other economic factors in the United States could increase our cost of sales and
17
operating, selling, general and administrative expenses, and otherwise adversely affect our operations and operating results. These factors affect not only our operations, but also the operations of suppliers from whom we purchase or license products and services, a factor that could result in an increase in the cost to us of our products and services, reducing our margins.
A substantial portion of our revenue is currently derived from The Raisers Edge and Blackbaud CRM, and a decline in sales or renewals of these or similar products and related services could harm our business.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from the sale of The Raisers Edge and Blackbaud CRM, and other products that help customers manage constituent relationships and related services, and revenue from these products and related services is expected to continue to account for a substantial portion of our total revenue for the foreseeable future. For example, revenue from the sale of The Raisers Edge and related services represented approximately 35%, 38% and 38% of our total revenue in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Revenue from the sale of Blackbaud CRM and related services represented approximately 9%, 6% and 4%, of our total revenue in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Because we sell licenses to our products on a perpetual basis and deliver new versions and enhancements to customers who purchase annual maintenance and support, our future license, services and maintenance revenue are substantially dependent on sales to new customers. In addition, we frequently sell The Raisers Edge or similar products to new customers and then attempt to generate incremental revenue from the sale of additional products and services. If demand for The Raisers Edge, Blackbaud CRM or similar products declines significantly, our business would suffer.
We encounter lengthy sales cycles which could have an adverse effect on the amount, timing and predictability of our revenue and sales.
Potential customers, particularly our larger enterprise-wide clients, generally commit significant resources to an evaluation of available software and require us to expend substantial time, effort and money educating them as to the value of our software and services. Sales of our software products to these larger customers often require an extensive education and marketing effort. We could expend significant funds and management resources during the sales cycle and ultimately fail to close the sale. Historically, our software product sales cycle averages approximately two months for sales to existing customers and from six to nine months for sales to new customers and large enterprise-wide sales. Recently, we have experienced longer sales cycle times, delays and postponements of purchasing decisions by our current and prospective customers as a result of challenges posed upon nonprofit organizations by the weak economic environment. Our sales cycle for all of our products and services is subject to significant risks and delays over which we have little or no control, including:
| Our customers budgetary constraints; |
| The timing of our clients budget cycles and approval processes; |
| The impact of the macroeconomic environment on our customers; |
| Our clients willingness to replace their current methods or software solutions; |
| Our need to educate potential customers about the uses and benefits of our products and services; and |
| The timing and expiration of our clients current license agreements or outsourcing agreements for similar services. |
If we are unsuccessful in closing sales after expending significant funds and management resources or if we experience delays as discussed above, it could have a material adverse effect on the amount, timing and predictability of our revenue.
We encounter long and complex implementation cycles, particularly for our largest customers, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability and the timing and predictability of our revenue.
The implementation of our products and services, particularly in our large CRM engagements, frequently involves complex configuration, business process reengineering and system interfaces and can extend for a year
18
or more. Our Blackbaud CRM product offering is relatively new, and we may not have historical experience with unanticipated implementation challenges or complexities that could arise in these engagements. Further, these projects typically are heavily dependent on customer participation, communication and timely responsiveness throughout the implementation cycle. As the complexity of these engagements increase, our revenues and profitability could suffer from delays in project completion and having to perform unplanned incremental services at rates substantially below our normal hourly rates or make investments in the form of non-billable service hours. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our products or if we experience delays, it could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and the timing and predictability of our revenue.
If our customers do not renew their annual maintenance and support agreements or subscriptions for our products or if they do not renew them on terms that are favorable to us, our business might suffer.
Most of our maintenance agreements and subscriptions are for a one year term. As the end of the annual period approaches, we pursue the renewal of the agreement with the customer. Historically, maintenance and subscriptions renewals have represented a significant portion of our total revenue. Because of this characteristic of our business, if our customers choose not to renew their maintenance and support agreements or subscriptions with us on beneficial terms, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed. Our customers renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including their level of satisfaction with our services and their ability to continue their operations and spending levels.
We might not generate increased business from our current customers, which could limit our revenue in the future.
Our business model is highly dependent on the success of our efforts to sell additional products and services to our existing customers. Many of our customers initially make a purchase of only one or a limited number of our products or only for a single department within their organization. These customers might choose not to expand their use of or make additional purchases of our products and services. If we fail to generate additional business from our current customers, our revenue could grow at a slower rate or even decrease. In addition, as we deploy new applications and features for our existing products or introduce new products and services, our current customers could choose not to purchase these new offerings.
The offering of our products on a subscription basis is evolving and demand by our customers for these offerings is increasing. Our failure to manage this evolution and demand could lead to lower than expected revenues and profits.
In recent years, much of our revenue growth was derived from increased subscription offerings, including SaaS. This business model depends heavily on achieving economies of scale because the initial upfront investment is costly and the associated revenue is recognized on a ratable basis. If we fail to achieve appropriate economies of scale or if we fail to manage or anticipate the evolution and demand for the subscription software pricing models, then our business and operating results could be adversely affected. The additional investments required to meet customer demand will increase our cost base, which will make it more difficult for us to offset any future revenue shortfalls by reducing expenses in the short term.
Defects, delays or interruptions in our SaaS and hosting services could diminish demand for these services and subject us to substantial liability.
We currently utilize data center hosting facilities to provide SaaS and hosting services to our customers. Any damage to, or failure of, our data center systems generally could result in interruptions in service to our customers, notwithstanding any disaster recovery arrangements that may currently be in place at these facilities. Because our SaaS, Internet-based and hosting service offerings are complex, and we have incorporated a variety of new computer hardware and software at the data centers, our services might have errors or defects that users identify after they begin using our services. This could result in unanticipated downtime for our customers and harm our reputation and our business. Internet-based services frequently contain undetected errors when first
19
introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have from time to time found defects in our Internet-based services and new errors might again be detected in the future. In addition, our customers might use our Internet-based offerings in unanticipated ways that cause a disruption in service for other customers attempting to access their data.
Because our customers use these services for important aspects of their business, any defects, delays or disruptions in service or other performance problems with our services could hurt our reputation and damage our customers businesses. If that occurs, customers could elect to cancel their service, or delay or withhold payment to us, we could lose future sales or customers might make claims against us, which could result in an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts, an increase in collection cycles for accounts receivable or the expense and risk of litigation. Any of these could harm our business and our reputation.
The market for software and services for nonprofit organizations might not grow and nonprofit organizations might not continue to adopt our products and services.
Many nonprofit organizations have not traditionally used integrated and comprehensive software and services for their nonprofit-specific needs. We cannot be certain that the market for such products and services will continue to develop and grow or that nonprofit organizations will elect to adopt our products and services rather than continue to use traditional, less automated methods, attempt to develop software internally, rely upon legacy software systems, or use generalized software solutions not specifically designed for the nonprofit market. Nonprofit organizations that have already invested substantial resources in other fundraising methods or other non-integrated software solutions might be reluctant to adopt our products and services to supplement or replace their existing systems or methods. In addition, the implementation of one or more of our core software products can involve significant time and capital commitments by our customers, which they may be unwilling or unable to make. If demand for and market acceptance of our products and services does not increase, we might not grow our business as we expect.
Because a significant portion of our revenue is recognized ratably over the terms of the contract, downturns in sales may not be immediately reflected in our revenue.
We recognize our maintenance and subscriptions revenue monthly over the term of the customer agreement. The term of the customer agreement is typically 12 months, although it can extend up to five years. As a result, much of the revenue we report in each quarter is attributable to agreements entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in sales to new customers, renewals by existing customers or market acceptance of our products in any one quarter will not necessarily be fully reflected in the revenues in that quarter and will negatively affect our revenues and profitability in future quarters.
If the security of our software is breached, we fail to securely collect, store and transmit customer information, or we fail to safeguard confidential donor data our products and services might be perceived as not being secure and our reputation and business could suffer.
Fundamental to the use of our products is the secure collection, storage and transmission of confidential donor and end user information. Although we have commercially available network and application security, internal control measures, and physical security procedures to safeguard our systems, there can be no assurance that a security breach, intrusion, loss or theft of personal information will not occur, which may harm our business, customer reputation and future financial results and may require us to expend significant resources to address these problems, including notification under data privacy regulations.
A compromise of our software or other problems that results in customer or donor personal information being obtained by unauthorized persons could adversely affect our reputation with our customers and others, as well as our operations, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and could result in litigation against us or the imposition of penalties. In addition, a security breach could require that we expend significant additional
20
resources related to our information security systems and could result in a disruption of our operations, particularly our online sales operations. The existence of vulnerabilities, even if they do not result in a security breach, may harm customer confidence and require substantial resources to address, and we may not be able to discover or remedy such security vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Also, computers, including those that use our software, are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays or loss of data. We might be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect further against security breaches or to rectify problems caused by any security breach.
Privacy and security concerns, including evolving government regulation in the area of consumer data privacy, could adversely affect our business and operating results.
The effectiveness of our software products relies on our customers storage and use of data concerning their customers, including financial, personally identifying and other sensitive data. Our customers collection and use of this data for donor profiling might raise privacy and security concerns and negatively impact the demand for our products and services. For example, our custom modeling and analytical services, including ProspectPoint, WealthPoint and donorCentrics, rely heavily on securing and making use of data we gather from various sources and privacy laws could jeopardize our ability to market and profit from those services. If a breach of customer data security were to occur, our products may be perceived as less desirable, which would negatively affect our business and operating results.
Governments in some jurisdictions have enacted or are considering enacting consumer data privacy legislation, including laws and regulations applying to the solicitation, collection, processing and use of consumer data. This legislation could reduce the demand for our software products if we fail to design or enhance our products to enable our customers to comply with the privacy and security measures required by the legislation. Moreover, we may be exposed to liability under existing or new consumer data privacy legislation. For example, we might be subject to the privacy provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and related regulations. Even technical violations of these laws can result in penalties that are assessed for each non-compliant transaction. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Congress passed the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HI-TECH Act. The HI-TECH Act expands the reach of data privacy and security requirements of HIPAA to service providers. HIPAA and associated United States Department of Health and Human Services regulations permit our customers in the healthcare industry to use certain demographic protected health information (such as name, email or physical address and dates of service) for fundraising purposes and to disclose that subset of protected health information to their service providers for fundraising. We may be included in this service provider group under the revised HIPAA regulations by virtue of our service provider relationship with our customers in the healthcare industry. In general, we are seeking to prohibit contractually our healthcare industry customers from uploading other types of health information of their clients into our systems because HIPAA does not permit this information to be used for fundraising without certain permissions, but we believe monitoring our healthcare customers compliance with such prohibitions is not legally required of service providers and would be cost prohibitive. The law and regulations under HI-TECH are new and still subject to change or interpretation by legal authorities who could cause additional compliance burdens. If we or our customers were found to be subject to and in violation of any of these laws or other data privacy laws or regulations, our business would suffer and we and/or our customers would likely have to change our business practices. In addition, these laws and regulations could impose significant costs on us and our customers and make it more difficult for donors to make online donations.
If we are unable, or customers believe we are unable, to detect and prevent unauthorized use of credit cards and safeguard confidential donor data, we could be subject to financial liability, our reputation could be harmed and customers may be reluctant to use our products and services.
Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology we use to protect sensitive transaction data. If any such compromise of our security, or the security of our customers, were to occur, it could result in misappropriation of
21
proprietary information or interruptions in operations and have an adverse impact on our reputation or the reputation of our customers. All of our products are currently certified as Payment Application Data Security Standard compliant. Currently some of our products are not fully compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS. This or other factors could make customers believe we are unable to detect and prevent unauthorized use of credit cards or confidential donor data, which could harm our business. Additionally, these factors could make issuing banks believe the transactions of our customers are compromised and refuse to process those transactions, which could harm the reputation of our products and our business.
Conforming our products and services to PCI DSS is expensive and time-consuming. Our failure to maintain compliance with PCI DSS could make customers believe we are unable to detect and prevent unauthorized use of credit cards and bank account numbers or protect confidential donor data and our reputation and business might be harmed.
Our subscriptions and services revenue produces substantially lower gross margins than our license revenue, and changes in the relative mix of these and other sources of revenue could negatively affect our overall gross margins.
Our subscriptions revenue, which includes fees for providing access to hosted applications, application hosting services and access to certain data services and our online subscription training offerings, has experienced the largest percentage revenue growth over the last three years. Subscriptions revenue was approximately 28%, 26% and 24% of our revenue for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our subscriptions revenue has substantially lower gross margins than our product license revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, our subscriptions margin was 59%, 63% and 61%. A continued increase in the percentage of total revenue represented by subscriptions revenue could adversely affect our overall gross margins and operating results if we are unable to achieve economies of scale in our subscription based offerings. Additionally, if nonprofits in general, and specifically our customers and prospects, desire to adopt our subscription offerings much more rapidly than we currently anticipate and we are unable to respond in a timely fashion, we could encounter significant effects to our business, including substantial capital expenditures, reduction in profitability, decrease in revenue growth and/or we could become potentially less competitive, resulting in a loss of market share.
Our services revenue, which includes fees for consulting, implementation, training, data and technical services and analytics, was approximately 29%, 27% and 28% of our revenue for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our services revenue has substantially lower gross margins than our product license revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, our services margin was 27%, 24% and 29%, respectively. An increase in the percentage of total revenue represented by services revenue without an improvement in services margin could adversely affect our operating results.
Certain of our services are contracted under fixed fee arrangements, which we base on estimates. If our estimated fees are less than our actual costs, our operating results would be adversely affected. Services revenue as a percentage of total revenue has varied significantly from quarter to quarter due to fluctuations in licensing revenue, economic changes, changes in the average selling prices for our products and services, our customers acceptance of our products and our sales force execution. In addition, the volume and profitability of services can depend in large part upon:
| Competitive pricing pressure on the rates that we can charge for our services; |
| The complexity of the customers information technology environment and the existence of multiple non-integrated legacy databases; |
| The resources directed by customers to their implementation projects; and |
| The extent to which outside consulting organizations provide services directly to customers. |
A decrease in the demand for services could adversely affect our profitability and operating results.
22
Our quarterly financial results fluctuate and might be difficult to forecast and, if our future results are below either any guidance we might issue or the expectations of public market analysts and investors, the price of our common stock might decline.
Our quarterly revenue and results of operations are difficult to forecast. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in revenue and operating results from quarter to quarter. As a result, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and operating results are not necessarily meaningful and that such comparisons might not be accurate indicators of future performance. The reasons for these fluctuations include but are not limited to:
| The size and timing of sales of our software, including the relatively long sales cycles associated with many of our larger software sales; |
| Budget and spending decisions by our customers; |
| The degree of judgment required to estimate large consulting service engagements; |
| Scheduling considerations by our customers as they impact the delivery of purchased services; |
| Utilization of our professional services personnel; |
| Market acceptance of new products we release; |
| Market acceptance of products we acquire; |
| The amount and timing of operating costs related to the expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure; |
| Changes in our pricing policies or our competitors pricing policies; |
| Seasonality in our revenue; |
| General economic conditions; and |
| Costs related to acquisitions of technologies or businesses. |
Our operating expenses, which include sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, are based on our expectations of future revenue and are, to a large extent, fixed in the short term. If revenue falls below our expectations in a quarter and we are not able to quickly reduce our operating expenses in response, our operating results for that quarter could be adversely affected. It is possible that in some future quarter our operating results may be below either any guidance we might issue or the expectations of public market analysts and investors and, as a result, the price of our common stock might fall.
Our failure to compete successfully could cause our revenue or market share to decline.
Our market is fragmented, highly competitive and rapidly evolving and there are limited barriers to entry for some aspects of this market. We mainly face competition from four sources:
| Software developers offering specialized products designed to address specific needs of nonprofit organizations, some of which are sold with subscription pricing; |
| Providers of traditional, less automated fundraising services such as services that support traditional direct mail campaigns, special events fundraising, telemarketing and personal solicitations; |
| Custom-developed products created either internally or outsourced to custom service providers; and |
| Software developers offering general products not designed to address specific needs of nonprofit organizations. |
23
The companies we compete with and other potential competitors may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources and generate greater revenue and better name recognition than we do. Companies such as Microsoft, Salesforce.com and Oracle offer some products that are designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, in addition to some of their products which have a degree of functionality for nonprofit organizations that could be considered competitive. Also, if one or more of our competitors or potential competitors were to merge or partner with one of our competitors, the change in the competitive landscape could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. For example, a large diversified software enterprise, such as Microsoft, Oracle or Salesforce.com, could decide to enter the market directly, including through acquisitions. Competitive pressures can adversely impact our business by limiting the prices we can charge our customers and making the adoption and renewal of our solutions more difficult.
Our competitors might also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with resellers and third-party consulting firms or other parties with whom we have had relationships, thereby limiting our ability to promote our products. These competitive pressures could cause our revenue and market share to decline.
If we fail to respond to technological changes to be competitive, our business could suffer.
The software industry is characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards in hardware and software technology, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The introduction of products encompassing new technologies can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. As a result, our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to continue to enhance existing products and develop and introduce in a timely manner or acquire new products that keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements and achieve market acceptance. There is no assurance that we will successfully identify new product opportunities and develop and bring new products to market in a timely and cost-effective manner. Further, there can be no assurance that the products, capabilities or technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, because our service is designed to operate on a variety of network hardware and software platforms using a standard browser, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our service to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser and database technologies. We have made and continue to make significant working capital investments in accordance with evolving industry and customer requirements. These concentrations of working capital increase our risk of loss due to product or technology obsolescence. If we are unable to develop or acquire on a timely and cost-effective basis new software products or enhancements to existing products or if such new products or enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
Because competition for highly qualified personnel is intense, we might not be able to attract and retain the employees we need to support our planned growth.
To execute our continuing growth plans, we need to increase the size and maintain the quality of our sales force, software development staff and our professional services organization. To meet our objectives successfully, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel with specialized skill sets focused on the nonprofit industry. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense, and we might not be successful in attracting and retaining them. The pool of qualified personnel with experience working with or selling to nonprofit organizations is limited overall and specifically in Charleston, South Carolina, where our principal office is located. Our ability to maintain and expand our sales, product development and professional services teams will depend on our ability to recruit, train and retain top quality people with advanced skills who understand sales to, and the specific needs of, nonprofit organizations. For these reasons, we have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications for our business. In addition, it takes time for our new sales and services personnel to become productive, particularly with respect to obtaining and supporting major customer accounts. In particular, we plan to continue to increase the number of services personnel to attempt to meet the needs of our customers and potential new customers. In addition to hiring services personnel to meet our needs, we might also engage
additional third-party consultants as contractors, which could have a negative impact on our earnings. If we are
24
unable to hire or retain qualified personnel, or if newly hired personnel fail to develop the necessary skills or reach productivity slower than anticipated, it would be more difficult for us to sell our products and services, we could experience a shortfall in revenue or earnings and not achieve our planned growth.
Further, in the past, we have used equity incentive programs as part of our overall employee compensation arrangements to both attract and retain personnel. A decline in our stock price could negatively impact the value of these equity incentive and related compensation programs as retention and recruiting tools. We may need to create new or additional equity incentive programs and/or compensation packages to remain competitive, which could be dilutive to our existing stockholders and/or adversely affect our results of operations.
If we do not successfully address the risks inherent in the expansion of our international operations, our business could suffer.
We currently have operations in Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Australia and Asia, and we intend to expand further into international markets. We have limited experience in international operations and might not be able to compete effectively in international markets. Our international offices generated revenues of approximately $53.6 million, $44.1 million and $39.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Accordingly, international revenue increased 21.5% and 10.8% in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Expansion of our international operations will require a significant amount of attention from our management and substantial financial resources and might require us to add qualified management in these markets. Our direct sales model requires us to attract, retain and manage qualified sales personnel capable of selling into markets outside the United States. In some cases, our costs of sales might increase if our customers require us to sell through local distributors.
If we are unable to grow our international operations in a cost effective and timely manner, our business and operating results could be harmed. Doing business internationally involves additional risks that could harm our operating results, including:
| Difficulties associated with and costs of staffing and managing international operations; |
| Differing technology standards; |
| Difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods; |
| Political and economic instability; |
| Imposition of currency exchange controls; |
| Potentially adverse tax consequences; |
| Reduced protection for intellectual property rights in certain countries; |
| Dependence on local vendors; |
| Protectionist laws and business practices that favor local competition; |
| Compliance with multiple conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations; |
| Seasonal reductions in business activity specific to certain markets; |
| Longer sales cycles; |
| Restrictions on repatriation of earnings or new taxation thereon; |
| Differing labor regulations; |
| Restrictive privacy regulations in different countries, particularly in the European Union; |
| Restrictions on the export of technologies such as data security and encryption; |
25
| Compliance with U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials; and |
| Import and export restrictions and tariffs. |
We expect that an increasing portion of our international software license, consulting services and maintenance services revenues will be denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. If we expand our international operations, exposures to gains and losses on foreign currency transactions may increase.
If our products fail to perform properly due to undetected errors or similar problems, our business could suffer.
Complex software such as ours often contains undetected errors or bugs. Such errors are frequently found after introduction of new software or enhancements to existing software. We continually introduce or acquire the rights to new products and release new versions of our products. If we detect any errors before we ship a product, we might have to delay product shipment for an extended period of time while we address the problem. We might not discover software errors that affect our new or current products or enhancements until after they are deployed, and we may need to provide enhancements to correct such errors. Therefore, it is possible that, despite testing by us, errors may occur in our software. These errors could result in:
| Harm to our reputation; |
| Lost sales; |
| Delays in commercial release; |
| Product liability claims; |
| Delays in or loss of market acceptance of our products; |
| License terminations or renegotiations; and |
| Unexpected expenses and diversion of resources to remedy errors. |
Furthermore, our customers may use our software together with products from other companies. As a result, when problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Even when our software does not cause these problems, the existence of these errors might cause us to incur significant costs, divert the attention of our technical personnel from our product development efforts, impact our reputation and cause significant customer relations problems.
Our failure to obtain licenses for third-party technologies could harm our business.
We expect to continue licensing technologies from third parties, including applications used in our research and development activities, technologies which are integrated into our products and products that we resell. Although we believe that the loss of any third-party technologies currently integrated into our products would not have a material adverse effect on our business, this might change in the future. Our inability in the future to obtain any third-party licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, could delay future product development until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed and integrated. This inability in turn would harm our business and operating results. Our use of third-party technologies exposes us to increased risks including, but not limited to, risks associated with the integration of new technology into our products, the diversion of our resources from development of our own proprietary technology and our inability to generate revenue from licensed technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs.
26
We rely upon trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary rights, which might not provide us with adequate protection.
Our success and ability to compete depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our software and other proprietary technology rights. We might not be successful in protecting our proprietary technology and our proprietary rights might not provide us with a meaningful competitive advantage. To protect our core proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements, each of which affords only limited protection. We have no patent protection for The Raisers Edge, which is one of our core products and responsible for a significant portion of our revenue. Any inability to protect our intellectual property rights could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition. It is possible that:
| Any patents issued to us may not be timely or broad enough to protect our proprietary rights; |
| Any issued patent could be successfully challenged by one or more third parties, which could result in our loss of the right to prevent others from exploiting the inventions claimed in those patents; and |
| Current and future competitors may independently develop similar technologies, duplicate our products or design around any of our patents. |
In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights in our products to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Despite the measures taken by us, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary technology and information without authorization. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and litigation could become necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights. Any litigation could be time consuming and expensive to prosecute or resolve, and could result in substantial diversion of management attention and resources, and materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Restrictions in our revolving credit facility may limit our activities, including dividend payments, share repurchases and acquisitions.
At December 31, 2011, we had no borrowings under our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. dated June 17, 2011. On February 9, 2012, we amended and restated this credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. At February 29, 2012, we had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility, but we expect to draw a significant portion of the facility to close the Convio acquisition. The credit facility contains restrictions, including covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, make acquisitions and other investments, prepay specified debt, consolidate, merge or acquire other businesses, sell assets, pay dividends and other distributions, repurchase stock and enter into transactions with affiliates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to remain in compliance with the covenants to which we are subject in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from our lenders or amend the covenants.
In the event of a default under our credit facility, we could be required to immediately repay all outstanding borrowings, which we might not be able to do. In addition, certain of our material domestic subsidiaries will be required to guarantee amounts borrowed under the credit facility, and we have pledged the shares of certain of our subsidiaries as collateral for our obligations under the credit facility. Any such default could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate, including allowing lenders under the credit facility to enforce guarantees of our subsidiaries, if any, or exercise their rights with respect to the shares pledged as collateral.
We have recorded a significant deferred tax asset, and we might never realize the full value of our deferred tax asset, which would result in a charge against our earnings.
In connection with the initial acquisition of our common stock as part of our recapitalization in 1999, we recorded approximately $107.0 million as a deferred tax asset. Our deferred tax asset balance of $30.9 million, of which $20.9 million relates to our 1999 recapitalization, was approximately 8% of our total assets as of December 31, 2011.
27
Realization of our deferred tax asset is dependent upon our generating sufficient taxable income in future years to realize the tax benefit from that asset. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at least annually for realizability. A charge against our earnings would result if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. This could be caused by, among other things, deterioration in performance, loss of key contracts, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of or affect the products sold by our business and a variety of other factors. If a deferred tax asset was determined to be not realizable in a future period, the charge to earnings would be recognized as an expense in our results of operations in the period the determination is made.
Depending on future circumstances, it is possible that we might never realize the full value of our deferred tax asset. Any future determination of impairment of a significant portion of our deferred tax asset would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.
Included in our deferred tax asset balance is $14.4 million related to federal net operating loss carryforwards, which is approximately 47% of our total deferred tax assets at December 31, 2011. Our federal net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitations on how much may be utilized on an annual basis. The use of the net operating loss carryforwards may have additional limitations resulting from certain future ownership changes or other factors under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If our net operating loss carryforwards are further limited, and we have taxable income which exceeds the available net operating loss carryforwards for that period, we would incur an income tax liability even though net operating loss carryforwards may be available in future years prior to their expiration, which would have an adverse affect our future cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
We might face challenges in integrating our completed acquisitions and, as a result, might not realize the expected benefits of these acquisitions.
We have completed significant acquisitions over the past five years and are in the process of acquiring Convio. Managing and integrating the operations and personnel of an acquired company can be a complex process. The integration might not be completed rapidly or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. The successful integration of the acquired companies will require, among other things, coordination of various departments, including product development, engineering, sales and marketing and finance. Further, a successful integration of the acquired companies internal control structure will be required. The diversion of the attention of management and any difficulties encountered in this process could cause the disruption of, or a loss of momentum in, sales or product development. The inability to successfully integrate the operations and personnel of our recently acquired companies, or any significant delay in achieving integration, could have a material adverse effect on our business and on the market price of our common stock.
Future acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and strain our resources.
As part of our business strategy, we have made acquisitions in the past, and, in addition to the proposed acquisition of Convio, we might acquire additional companies, services and technologies that we feel could complement or expand our business, augment our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities, provide us with important customer contacts or otherwise offer growth opportunities. Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including:
| Difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services, accounting and personnel; |
| Difficulties in supporting and transitioning customers of our acquired companies; |
| Diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations; |
| Risks of entering new sectors of the nonprofit industry; |
28
| Potential loss of key employees; and |
| Inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs. |
Acquisitions also frequently result in recording of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subject to potential impairments in the future that could harm our operating results. In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, our existing stockholders would be diluted which, in turn, could affect the market price of our stock. Moreover, we could finance any acquisition with debt, resulting in higher leverage and interest costs. As a result, if we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions or investments properly, we might not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such acquisition and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. Furthermore, if we incur debt to fund acquisitions and are unable to service our debt obligation we may have a greater risk of default under our credit facility.
If we are not able to manage our anticipated growth effectively, our operating costs may increase and our operating margins may decrease.
We will need to grow our infrastructure to address the proposed acquisition of Convio and other potential market opportunities. Our growth will continue to place, to the extent that we are able to sustain such growth, a strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. If we continue to grow our operations, by way of additional business combinations or otherwise, we may not be effective in enlarging our physical facilities and our systems and our procedures or controls may not be adequate to support such expansion or our business generally. If we are unable to manage our growth, our operating costs may increase and our operating margins may decrease.
Increasing government regulation could affect our business.
We are subject, not only to regulations applicable to businesses generally, but also to laws and regulations directly applicable to electronic commerce and other regulations. Although there are currently few such laws and regulations, state, federal and foreign governments may adopt laws and regulations applicable to our business. Any such legislation or regulation could dampen the growth of the Internet and decrease its acceptance. If such a decline occurs, companies may decide in the future not to use our products and services. Any new laws or regulations in the following areas could affect our business:
| User privacy; |
| The pricing and taxation of goods and services offered over the Internet; |
| Taxation of foreign earnings; |
| The content of websites; |
| Copyrights; |
| Consumer protection, including the potential application of do not call registry requirements on our customers and consumer backlash in general to direct marketing efforts of our customers; |
| The online distribution of specific material or content over the Internet; and |
| The characteristics and quality of products and services offered over the Internet. |
Pending and enacted legislation at the state and federal levels, including those related to fundraising activities, may also restrict further our information gathering and disclosure practices, for example, by requiring us to comply with extensive and costly registration, reporting or disclosure requirements.
29
Our operations might be affected by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event.
We depend on our principal executive offices and other facilities for the continued operation of our business. Although we have contingency plans in effect for natural disasters or other catastrophic events, these events, including terrorist attacks and natural disasters such as earthquakes, which our San Diego operations in particular might experience, and hurricanes, which have been known to threaten Charleston, where our headquarters are, could disrupt our operations. Even though we carry business interruption insurance policies and typically have provisions in our contracts that protect us in certain events, we might suffer losses as a result of business interruptions that exceed the coverage available under our insurance policies or for which we do not have coverage. Any natural disaster or catastrophic event affecting us could have a significant negative impact on our operations.
Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
We lease our headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina which consists of approximately 230,000 square feet. The lease on our Charleston headquarters expires in October 2024, and we have the option for two 5-year renewal periods. We also lease facilities near Indianapolis, Indiana and in San Diego, California; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Washington D.C.; Denver, Colorado; Alexandria, Virginia; Miami, Florida; Almere, Netherlands; Glasgow, Scotland; London, England; East Brisbane, Australia; and Sydney, Australia. We believe that our properties are in good operating condition and adequately serve our current business operations for all of our business segments. We also anticipate that suitable additional or alternative space, including those under lease options, will be available at commercially reasonable terms for future expansion.
From time to time we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from our ordinary course of business. We do not believe that there are any claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse affect on us.

Dividend policy and restrictions
Our Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy which reflects an intention to distribute to our stockholders a portion of the cash generated by our business that exceeds our operating needs and capital expenditures as regular quarterly dividends. This policy reflects our judgment that we can provide greater value to our stockholders by distributing to them a portion of the cash generated by our business.
In accordance with this dividend policy, we paid quarterly dividends at an annual rate of $0.48 and $0.44 per share in 2011 and 2010, respectively, resulting in an aggregate dividend payment to stockholders of $21.4 million and $19.5 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. In February 2012, our Board of Directors approved an annual dividend rate of $0.48 per share for 2012. We declared a first quarter dividend of $0.12 per share payable on March 15, 2012, to stockholders of record on March 5, 2012, and currently intend to pay quarterly dividends at an annual rate of $0.48 per share of common stock for each of the remaining fiscal quarters in 2012. Dividends at this rate would total approximately $21.1 million in the aggregate on the common stock in 2012 (assuming 44.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, net of treasury stock).
Dividends on our common stock will not be cumulative. Consequently, if dividends on our common stock are not declared and/or paid at the targeted level, our stockholders will not be entitled to receive such payments in the future. We are not obligated to pay dividends, and as described more fully below, our stockholders might not receive any dividends as a result of the following factors:
| Our credit facility limits the amount of dividends we are permitted to pay; |
| Our Board of Directors could decide to reduce dividends or not to pay dividends at all, at any time and for any reason; |
| The amount of dividends distributed is subject to state law restrictions; and |
| We might not have enough cash to pay dividends due to changes to our operating earnings, working capital requirements and anticipated cash needs. |
Assumptions and considerations
We estimate that the cash necessary to fund dividends on our common stock for 2012 at an annual rate of $0.48 per share is approximately $21.1 million (assuming 44.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, net of treasury stock).
We have a stock repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date. The shares could be purchased in conjunction with a public offering of our stock, from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon market conditions and other factors, all in accordance with the requirements of applicable law. Any open market purchases under the repurchase program will be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all other applicable securities regulations. We might not purchase any additional shares of common stock and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, to cancel the stock repurchase program.
We believe that our cash on hand and the cash flows we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements through 2012, including dividends and purchases under our stock repurchase program. See Managements discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations Liquidity and capital resources in this report.
If our assumptions as to operating expenses, working capital requirements and capital expenditures are too low or if unexpected cash needs arise that we are not able to fund with cash on hand or with borrowings under our credit facility, we would need to either reduce or eliminate dividends. If we were to use working capital or permanent
33
borrowings to fund dividends, we would have less cash available for future dividends and other purposes, which could negatively impact our stock price, financial condition, results of operations and ability to maintain or expand our business.
We have estimated our dividend only for 2012, and we cannot assure our stockholders that during or following such periods that we will pay dividends at the estimated levels, or at all. We are not required to pay dividends and our Board of Directors may modify or revoke our dividend policy at any time. Dividend payments are within the absolute discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon many factors and future developments that could differ materially from our current expectations. Indeed, over time our capital and other cash needs, including unexpected cash needs, will invariably change and remain subject to uncertainties, which could impact the level of any dividends we pay in the future.
We believe that our dividend policy could limit, but not preclude, our ability to pursue growth as we intend to retain sufficient cash after the distribution of dividends to permit the pursuit of growth opportunities that do not require material capital investments. In order to pay dividends at the level currently anticipated under our dividend policy and to fund any substantial portion of our stock repurchase program, we expect that we could require financing or borrowings to fund any significant acquisitions or to pursue growth opportunities requiring capital expenditures significantly beyond our anticipated capital expenditure levels. Management will evaluate potential growth opportunities as they arise and, if our Board of Directors determines that it is in our best interest to use cash that would otherwise be available for distribution as dividends to pursue an acquisition opportunity, to materially increase capital spending or for some other purpose, the Board would be free to depart from or change our dividend policy at any time.
Restrictions on payment of dividends
Under Delaware law, we can only pay dividends either out of surplus (which is defined as total assets at fair market value minus total liabilities, minus statutory capital) or out of current or the immediately preceding years earnings. As of December 31, 2011, we had $52.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we anticipate that we will have sufficient earnings in 2012 to pay dividends at the level described above. Although we believe we will have sufficient surplus and earnings to pay dividends at the anticipated levels for 2012, our Board of Directors will seek periodically to assure itself of this sufficiency before actually declaring any dividends.
We entered into an amended and restated credit facility on February 9, 2012. The amended credit facility restricts our ability to declare and pay dividends on our common stock. In order to pay any cash dividends and/or repurchase shares of stock: (1) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the credit facility, and (2) we must be in compliance with a leverage ratio set forth in the credit agreement.

Item 6. SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
The selected consolidated financial data set forth below should be read in conjunction with Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report.
The selected consolidated financial data below has been revised to reflect the corrections of immaterial errors in previously reported financial results. See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for a detailed discussion. The net income impact of the revisions was a decrease in net income of $0.6 million, $0.9 million, $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and an increase in net income of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The following data, insofar as it relates to each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, has been derived from the audited annual financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders equity and comprehensive income for the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. The following data, insofar as it relates to each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are derived from financial statements not included in this report.
35
As described in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, we made business acquisitions which could affect the comparability of the information presented.

Item 7. MANAGEMENTS 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 Item 1.A Risk Factors and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and financial performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under Item 1A. Risk factors, under Cautionary statement included in this Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and elsewhere in this report, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results.
Executive summary
We provide on-premise and cloud-based software solutions and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, and provide products and services that enable nonprofit organizations to increase donations, reduce fundraising costs, improve communications with constituents, manage their finances and optimize internal operations. At the end of 2011, we had approximately 26,000 active customers distributed across multiple verticals within the nonprofit market including education, foundations, health and human services, religion, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare and international foreign affairs.
We derive revenue from selling perpetual licenses or charging for the use of our software products in a hosted environment and providing a broad offering of services, including consulting, training, installation and implementation, as well as ongoing customer support and maintenance. Consulting, training and implementation are generally not essential to the functionality of our software products and are sold separately. Furthermore, we derive revenue from providing hosting services, performing donor prospect research engagements, selling lists of potential donors, and providing benchmarking studies and data modeling services.
Overall, revenue in 2011 increased 14% compared to 2010. When removing the impact of foreign currency translation, revenue increased 13% when comparing 2011 to 2010. This increase was principally the result of continued growth in our services and subscriptions revenue. The increase in services revenue was primarily as a result of an increase in demand for our consulting services associated with our Blackbaud CRM offering. Additionally, our recurring revenue, which is comprised of subscription offerings and maintenance and represented 63% of our 2011 revenue on a combined basis, contributed to the growth in revenue. The growth in subscriptions revenue is principally attributable to increased demand for our hosting services, online fundraising and data management offerings and the shift in our business towards hosted solutions. The growth in maintenance revenue is principally driven by maintaining high renewal rates, new maintenance contracts associated with new license arrangements and existing client increases. Revenue associated with our core perpetual license offerings decreased in 2011 when compared to 2010 as a result of the continuing decreases in sales of our perpetual license offerings to the mid-market customer base, which is principally the result of customers opting to purchase our solutions under alternative packaging with more flexible subscription-based pricing. We believe this trend will continue, and may accelerate, in the future.
Income from operations for 2011 increased by 11%, or $4.9 million, compared to 2010. The increase in income from operations is primarily attributable to the increase in services and subscriptions gross profit which is driven by the continued strong retention rate of our solutions that are offered under recurring revenue arrangements and the scalability of our infrastructure that supports these services. The increase in income from operations of 11% was less than the increase in revenue of 14% during 2011 primarily due to the investment in the infrastructure that supports our subscription-based offerings.
We ended 2011 with cash and cash equivalents totaling $52.5 million and no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility. During 2011, we generated $85.5 million in cash flow from operations, which we used to purchase $23.4 million of acquired companies, pay $21.4 million in dividends and purchase $18.2 million of equipment.

Item 7. Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations(Continued)
During 2011, we experienced overall growth in revenue and have begun to see increases in charitable giving levels. However, we continue to believe the pace and impact of economic recovery on the nonprofit market remains uncertain. We expect that our operating environment will continue to be challenging in 2012 as existing and prospective customers remain cautious in their expenditure decisions. Notwithstanding these conditions, we remain focused on execution of our key growth initiatives and strengthening our leadership position, while achieving our targeted level of profitability. We also plan to continue to invest in our back office processes and the infrastructure that supports our subscription-based offerings to achieve optimal scalability of our operations as we execute on our key growth initiatives.
Recent developments
Convio acquisition
On January 16, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Convio, Inc. (Convio), a leading provider of on-demand constituent engagement solutions that enable nonprofit organizations to more effectively raise funds, advocate for change and cultivate relationships. Under the terms of the agreement, we will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Convio for $16.00 per share, representing a premium of 49% compared to Convios closing price prior to the announcement of the proposed acquisition and an enterprise value of approximately $275.0 million (based on dilutive shares). We will finance the deal through a combination of cash on hand and debt.
Amended and restated credit facility
We amended and restated our credit facility to a $325.0 million five-year credit facility on February 9, 2012. The credit facility includes the following facilities: a dollar and a designated currency revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans, and a delayed draw term loan. The credit facility is secured by the stock and limited liability company interests of certain of our subsidiaries that were pledged as part of the closing. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility will be guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries, if any. We plan to use borrowings under the credit facility to partially finance our proposed acquisition of Convio.

Results of operations
During the fourth quarter of 2011, we revised previously issued financial statements to correct errors identified principally related to revenue recognition, accounting for income taxes and the capitalization of software development costs. None of the revisions were considered material to the periods impacted, as disclosed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. All amounts in Item 7 of this filing are provided as revised.
During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we acquired companies that provided us with strategic opportunities to expand our share of the nonprofit market through the integration of complimentary products and services to serve the changing needs of our customers. Following are the companies we acquired and their respective acquisition date:
| RLC Customer Centric Technology B.V. April 29, 2009; |
| Target America, Inc. May 12, 2010; |
| NOZA, Inc. October 1, 2010; |
| Public Interest Data, LLC, or PIDI February 1, 2011; and |
| Everyday Hero Pty. Ltd., or EDH October 6, 2011. |
The results of operations of the acquired companies are included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of their respective acquisition as noted above, which impacts the comparability of our results of operations when comparing 2011 to 2010 and 2010 to 2009. We have noted in the discussion below, to the extent meaningful, the impact on the comparability of our results of operations due to the inclusion of the acquired companies for only a partial year in the year of acquisition.

Total revenue increased $44.3 million, or 14%, in 2011 compared to 2010. This increase in revenue is primarily attributable to growth in our subscriptions and services revenue. The increase in subscriptions revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in demand for our hosted offerings, hosting services, online fundraising and data management offerings. This increase has been driven by the ongoing evolution of our product offerings from a license-based to subscription-based business model. Services revenue growth is primarily due to an increase in demand for consulting services associated with our Blackbaud CRM offering and online fundraising offerings.

The increase in maintenance revenue is attributable to new maintenance contracts associated with new license agreements sold over the last twelve months and increases in contracts with existing customers. These increases are offset by a decrease in license fees which is principally attributable to a smaller contribution in 2011 from Blackbaud CRM perpetual license arrangements with upfront revenue recognition than in 2010. Additionally, we continue to experience a shift in our customers buying preference away from perpetual licenses towards hosted solutions.

Revenue from license fees is derived from the sale of our software products, under a perpetual license agreement. We are increasingly experiencing a shift in our customers buying preference away from solutions offered under perpetual license arrangements towards subscription-based hosted applications. In addition, we continue to experience longer sales cycle times, delays and postponements of purchasing decisions and overall caution exercised by existing and prospective customers as a result of continued challenges posed by the weak economic environment. During 2011, revenue from license fees to existing customers decreased by $0.9 million and sales to new customers decreased by $3.3 million. The decrease in license fees is largely the result of a smaller contribution in 2011 from Blackbaud CRM sales with upfront revenue recognition when compared to 2010 due to credits provided to certain Blackbaud CRM early adopters.
Cost of license fees is principally comprised of third-party software royalties, variable reseller commissions, amortization of software development costs and amortization of intangibles from business combinations. The increase in cost of license fees in 2011 compared to 2010 is principally attributable to an increase in reseller commissions. A greater portion of our software license sales in 2011 were completed through our reseller channels when compared to 2010.

transaction fees associated with the use of our products to fundraise online. Revenue from acquired companies contributed $6.2 million to the growth in subscriptions revenue during 2011. The remaining increase in subscriptions revenue during 2011 is principally attributable to the increase in demand for online fundraising offerings, data management offerings and hosting services. Additionally, revenue from our hosting services continues to increase as the demand for these services continues to grow from both our existing and new perpetual license customers. We continue to experience growth in our hosted applications business and are increasingly experiencing a shift in our customers buying preference away from perpetual licenses towards subscription based-offerings.
Cost of subscriptions is primarily comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party royalty and data expenses, hosting expenses, an allocation of depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangibles from business combinations and other costs incurred in providing support and services to our customers. The increase in cost of subscriptions in 2011 when compared to 2010 is principally attributable to an increase in headcount. The increase in headcount is due to both the inclusion of acquired companies and the investments we are making in our infrastructure to support the growth in our subscription offerings. Human resource costs increased $6.9 million as a result of an increase in headcount, of which $3.6 million relates to our acquisition of PIDI in February 2011. Hosting costs also increased by $2.8 million due to the increase in required hosting capacity as a result of the increase in demand for hosting and other online services.

Services revenue consists of consulting, installation, implementation, education and analytic services. Consulting, installation and implementation services involve converting data from a customers existing system, assistance in file set up and system configuration, and/or process re-engineering. Education services involve customer training activities. Analytic services are comprised of donor prospect research, selling lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling services. These services involve the assessment of current and prospective donor information of the customer and are performed using our proprietary analytical tools. The end product enables organizations to more effectively target their fundraising activities. We recognize services revenue attributable to consulting services for implementation of our hosted applications and subscription offerings ratably over the period the customer benefits from those services. We also recognize the direct and incremental costs associated with consulting services revenue ratably over the same period. However, we continue to expense indirect costs in the period the implementation services are provided.
The increase in services revenue during 2011 when compared to 2010 is principally attributable to an increase in consulting services revenue of $14.4 million, analytic services of $3.8 million and education services of $2.9 million. Revenue from acquired companies represented $0.8 million of consulting services and $1.9 million of analytic services revenue growth during 2011 compared to 2010. The increase in consulting services revenue

Item 7. Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations(Continued)
is primarily due to an increase in the demand for consulting, installation and implementation services associated with our Blackbaud CRM offering and our internet based fundraising offerings. This increase in consulting services revenue resulting from an increase in volume was partially offset by an increase in our investment, in the form of non-billable implementation hours, in early adopters of our Blackbaud CRM offering and a reduction in the rates we charge as a result of a higher level of discounts on the consulting services provided during 2011 compared to 2010. The rates we charge for our education and analytic service offerings have remained relatively constant year over year and, as such, the change in revenue is principally the result of an increase in the volume of services provided.
Cost of services is principally comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor expenses, classroom rentals, other costs incurred in providing consulting, installation and implementation services and customer training, data expense incurred to perform analytic services, an allocation of depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and amortization of intangibles from business combinations.
The increase in cost of services in 2011 when compared to 2010 is primarily attributable to an increase in human resource costs and third-party contractor costs. The increase in human resource costs and third-party contractor costs is principally attributable to the need for additional resource capacity to meet the increasing consulting services demands of our customers and the additional headcount from acquired companies.
The services gross margin increased in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in demand for consulting services associated with our Blackbaud CRM offering and a shift in the mix of consulting engagements to higher margin projects.

Revenue from maintenance is comprised of annual fees derived from maintenance contracts associated with new software licenses and annual renewals of existing maintenance contracts. These contracts provide customers with updates, enhancements and upgrades to our software products and online, telephone and email support. During 2011, the increase in maintenance revenue is principally comprised of $11.3 million of maintenance from new customers associated with new license agreements and increases in contracts with existing customers and $3.8 million from maintenance contract inflationary rate adjustments, offset by $9.1 million from maintenance contracts that were not renewed.
Cost of maintenance is primarily comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor expenses, third-party royalty costs, an allocation of depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangibles from business combinations and other costs incurred in providing support and services to our customers. The increase in cost of maintenance in 2011 when compared to 2010 is principally attributable to an increase in human resource costs of $1.5 million partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in third-party royalty costs and $0.2 million decrease in amortization of intangibles from business combinations.

During 2011, sales and marketing expense increased by $5.9 million when compared to 2010 primarily due to an increase of $3.6 million in human resource costs and $2.0 million in commission expense. The increase in human resource costs is a result of additional headcount to support the increase in selling and marketing efforts of our growing operations. The increase in commission expense is principally attributable to an increase in commissionable revenue in 2011. Additionally, marketing programs increased by $0.3 million relating to the launch of our new corporate branding and an increase in marketing costs associated with our new packaged offerings.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of human resource costs for general corporate functions, including senior management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, corporate development, stock-based compensation expense, third-party professional fees, insurance, an allocation of depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, acquisition related expense and other administrative expenses. During 2011, general and administrative expense increased primarily due to $1.3 million and $1.1 million increases in stock-based compensation expense and human resource costs, respectively, a $0.8 million increase in acquisition-related expenses, $0.5 million in third-party professional consulting fees and $0.3 million in recruiting costs associated with hiring key executives in 2011. Acquisition-related costs related primarily to the acquisition of PIDI, EDH and the pending acquisition of Convio. Stock-based compensation increased due to a change in the type of equity awards granted to certain executives to be performance-based, for which expense is recognized on an accelerated basis.

The increase in subscriptions revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in demand for our hosted offerings, hosting services, online fundraising and data management offerings. This increase has been driven, in part, by the ongoing evolution of our product offerings from a license-based to subscription-based business model. The increase in maintenance revenue is attributable to new maintenance contracts associated with new license agreements sold over the last twelve months and increases in contracts with existing customers.

During 2010, revenue from license fees to existing customers increased $0.8 million and sales to new customers decreased by $2.8 million. The decrease in license fees is largely the result of a smaller contribution in 2010 from Blackbaud CRM sales with upfront revenue recognition when compared with 2009 and the continued shift in our customers buying preference away from solutions offered under perpetual license arrangements towards subscription-based hosted applications.
The decrease in cost of license fees in 2010 compared to 2009 is primarily attributable to lower third-party software royalty costs, which is directly the result of the reduction in sales of perpetual licenses in 2010 when compared with 2009.
The increase in license fee gross margin in 2010 compared to 2009 is the result of a change in the mix of products sold. During 2010, we sold fewer products with associated third-party software royalty costs.

Additionally, revenue from our hosting services continues to increase as demand for these services continues to grow from both our existing and new perpetual license customers.
The increase in cost of subscriptions in 2010 when compared to 2009 is principally due to an increase in human resource costs of $2.1 million as a result of an increase in headcount. Data expense and hosting costs also increased resulting from an increase in the demand for hosting and other online services.

The increase in services revenue during 2010 when compared to 2009 is principally attributable to an increase in consulting services revenue of $2.1 million and analytic services of $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in education services revenue of $2.0 million. The increase in consulting services revenue is largely due to an increase in the demand for consulting services associated with our Blackbaud CRM offering and our internet- based fundraising offerings. The increase in consulting services revenue resulting from an increase in volume was partially offset by an increase in our investment, in the form of non-billable implementation hours, in early adopters of our Blackbaud CRM offering and a reduction in the rates we charge as a result of a higher level of discounts on the consulting services provided during 2010 compared to 2009.

The increase in the cost of other revenue in 2010 when compared to 2009 is principally attributable to an increase in the cost of our principal user conference resulting from a shift in venue that would allow us to host more customers and prospects.
Other gross margin decreased in 2010 when compared to 2009. While we had fewer user conferences in 2010 as compared to 2009, we made greater investments in the 2010 user conferences when compared to 2009, which is driving the decrease in other gross margin.

During 2010, sales and marketing expense increased when compared to 2009 primarily due to an increase of $2.8 million in commission expense. The increase in commission expense is principally attributable to higher commission rates due to under-achievement of plans in 2009, and an increase in commissionable revenue in 2010. Additionally, human resource costs increased by $1.4 million as a result of additional headcount and salary merit increases. The remaining increase is primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million in travel and other marketing expenses as a result of increased investment in selling and marketing programs to support both our new and newly packaged offerings.

During 2010, human resource and third party costs increased by $0.9 million, all of which was offset by an increase in costs allocated to cost of services commensurate with the development efforts supporting product customizations under revenue generating arrangements. Human resource and third-party contractor costs have increased as we continue to invest in our product development efforts.

During 2010, the decrease in general and administrative expense and general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue was principally due to a decrease in human resource costs of $1.8 million and bad debt expense of $0.3 million partially offset by $1.0 million in acquisition expenses relating to NOZA. The decrease in human resource costs is primarily due to a decrease in headcount resulting from consolidation and centralization efforts in the second half of 2009 and first quarter of 2010 of our accounting function from acquisitions in prior years.
Non-GAAP income from operations
The operating results analyzed below are presented on a non-GAAP basis in that the results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, acquisition-related expenses, impairment of cost method investment and gain on sale of assets. We believe that the exclusion of these costs allows us and investors to better understand our operating expenses and cash needs, particularly when evaluating current performance against prior periods.

Income tax provision

Effective tax rate |
35.2 | % | 36.5 | % | 38.9 | % |
The effective tax rate in 2011 decreased due to the change in our valuation allowance. In 2011, we reversed $1.0 million of valuation allowance for certain state net operating loss carryforwards in connection with the completion of certain state tax planning strategies. The effective tax rate in 2010 decreased when compared to 2009 because we received a greater amount of federal and state tax credits in 2010.
We record our deferred tax assets and liabilities at an amount based upon a U.S. federal income tax rate of 35.0% and appropriate statutory tax rates of various foreign, state and local jurisdictions in which we operate. If our tax rates change in the future, we would adjust our deferred tax assets and liabilities to an amount reflecting those income tax rates. Any change will affect the provision for income taxes during the period that the determination is made.
The following table reconciles the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31:

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective tax rate was $1.8 million at December 31, 2011. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties included in the consolidated statement of operations for 2011 and 2010 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of an increase in income tax expense for 2011 and a decrease in income tax expense for 2010. The total amount of interest and penalties included in the consolidated statement of operations for 2009 was immaterial.
We have taken positions in certain taxing jurisdictions related to state nexus issues for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next twelve months. The possible decrease could result from the finalization of state income tax reviews and the expiration of statutes of limitations. The reasonably possible decrease is not material at December 31, 2011.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. for federal and various state jurisdictions as well as in foreign jurisdictions including Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Netherlands. We are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years ending 2008 through 2010 as well as state and foreign income tax examinations for various years depending on statute of limitations of those jurisdictions.
Liquidity and capital resources
At December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $52.5 million, compared to $28.0 million at December 31, 2010. The $24.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents during 2011 is principally the result
52
Blackbaud, Inc.
Item 7. Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations(Continued)
of generating $85.5 million of cash from operations, of which we used $23.4 million to acquire companies, $21.4 million to pay dividends and $18.2 million to purchase equipment.
Our principal source of liquidity has historically been our operating cash flow, which depends on continued customer renewal of our maintenance, support and subscription agreements and market acceptance of our products and services. Based on current estimates of revenue and expenses, we believe that the currently available cash and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate for at least the next twelve months to finance our operations, fund anticipated capital expenditures and pay dividends. Dividend payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to declare or pay further dividends. Our stock repurchase program authorizes us to purchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding shares of common Stock. Repurchases of common stock are not guaranteed and can be limited at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
At December 31, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under our former credit facility and were in compliance with the covenants thereunder. We drew on our credit facility from time to time to help us meet short-term financial needs, such as business acquisitions and purchase of common stock under our repurchase program. In February 2012, we amended and restated our credit facility to increase the available borrowing capacity to $325.0 million. The amended credit facility matures in February 2017. We expect to incur a substantial amount of debt in connection with the proposed acquisition of Convio. We believe our amended credit facility provides us liquidity to acquire Convio, and also with sufficient flexibility to meet our other anticipated financial needs.
At December 31, 2011, our total cash and cash equivalent balance includes $11.3 million of cash held by operations outside of the U.S. If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. Our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.
Operating cash flow
Throughout both years, our cash flows from operations were derived principally from: (i) our earnings from on-going operations prior to non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and adjustments to our provision for sales returns and allowances; (ii) the tax benefit associated with our deferred tax asset, which reduces our cash outlay for income tax expense; and (iii) changes in our working capital.
Working capital changes are comprised of changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue. Cash flow provided by operations that was associated with working capital increased $15.6 million in 2011 when compared to 2010. The net increase is principally due to:
| An increase in cash flow from accounts receivable of $4.1 million, primarily due to an improvement in our collection of accounts receivable as a result of an increase in the use of auto-pay programs by our customers; and |
| A year-over-year increase in cash flow of $14.1 million due to fluctuations in the timing of cash paid for income taxes; partially offset by |
| A decrease in cash flow of $2.6 million primarily due to the timing of payments of prepaid costs. |
The provision for doubtful accounts and sales returns increased $2.9 million during 2011 when compared to 2010. The increase is principally due to an increase in credits related to consulting services associated with early adopters of Blackbaud CRM and other customer credits provided in the ordinary course of business that have increased commensurate with our growth in sales.

Investing cash flow
Net cash used in 2011 for investing activities was $41.7 million compared to $18.4 million in 2010. This increase is due to the purchase of PIDI and EDH. Additionally, we increased the amount spent on software and computer equipment associated with the infrastructure that supports our subscription-based offerings from $10.8 million in 2010 to $18.2 million in 2011.
Financing cash flow
During 2011, cash used for financing activities was principally attributable to $21.4 million of dividend payments to stockholders. We did not have any borrowings or repayments under our former credit facility and we did not repurchase any treasury shares during 2011. During 2010, cash used for financing activities was principally attributable to $22.6 million of treasury share repurchases and $19.5 million of dividend payments to stockholders.
Commitments and contingencies
As of December 31, 2011, we had future minimum lease commitments of $63.9 million as follows:

Our commitments related to operating leases have not been reduced by the future minimum lease commitments under sublease agreements that expire in 2014 and reimbursement of leasehold improvements totaling $3.8 million. As of December 31, 2011, we had accrued $1.6 million of federal taxes, $0.2 million of state taxes and $0.1 million of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions taken in current and prior years. Please refer to Note 11 in our notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information. We are unable to determine the period in which these liabilities will be settled, and accordingly, we have not included these amounts in the table above.
We utilize third-party relationships in conjunction with our products. The contractual arrangements vary in length from one to three years. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment. The total minimum annual purchase commitments under these arrangements at December 31, 2011, are approximately $8.1 million through 2013, which is not included in the table above. We incurred expense under these arrangements of $6.8 million, $4.1 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
In February 2012, our Board of Directors approved our annual dividend of $0.48 per share for 2012 and declared a first quarter dividend of $0.12 per share payable on March 15, 2012, to stockholders of record on March 5, 2012. Dividends at the annual rate would aggregate to $21.1 million, assuming 44.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, net of treasury stock. Our ability to continue to declare and pay dividends may be restricted by, among other things, the terms of our credit facility, general economic conditions and our ability to generate operating cash flow.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

Foreign currency exchange rates
Approximately 14% of our total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, was derived from operations outside the United States. We do not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary. Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of our subsidiaries financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results. The accumulated currency translation adjustment, recorded as a separate component of stockholders equity, was a loss of $1.1 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U.S. entities. The contracts entered into by the U.S. entities are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars, contracts entered into by our Canadian subsidiary are generally denominated in Canadian dollars, and contracts entered into by our U.K., Australian and Netherlands subsidiaries are generally denominated in pounds sterling, Australian dollars and Euros, respectively. Historically, as the U.S. dollar weakened, foreign currency translation resulted in an increase in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. We do not believe our exposure to currency exchange rates has had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position and therefore we do not hedge any foreign currency risk; however, we intend to continue to monitor our foreign currency exchange rate exposure and take action as appropriate.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, our allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation and provision for income taxes, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and contingencies.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from any of our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the critical accounting policies listed below affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Our revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (1) selling perpetual licenses of our software products; (2) charging for the use of our software products in a hosted environment; (3) providing professional services including implementation, training, consulting, analytic, hosting and other services; and (4) providing software maintenance and support services.
License fees
We recognize revenue from the sale of perpetual software license rights when all of the following conditions are met:
| Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
| The product has been delivered; |
55
Blackbaud, Inc.
Item 7. Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations(Continued)
| The fee is fixed or determinable; and |
| Collection of the resulting receivable is probable. |
We deem acceptance of an agreement to be evidence of an arrangement. Delivery occurs when the product is shipped or transmitted, and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customers. Our typical license agreement does not include customer acceptance provisions; however, if acceptance provisions are provided, delivery is deemed to occur upon acceptance. We consider the fee to be fixed or determinable unless the fee is subject to refund or adjustment or is not payable within our standard payment terms. Payment terms greater than 90 days are considered to be beyond our customary payment terms. Collection is deemed probable if we expect that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as they become due. If we determine that collection is not probable, we defer revenue recognition until collection.
We sell software licenses with maintenance, varying levels of professional services and, in certain instances, with hosting services. We allocate revenue to delivered components, normally the license component of the arrangement, using the residual value method based on objective evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, which is specific to us. Fair value for maintenance services associated with software licenses is based upon renewal rates stated in the agreements with customers, which vary according to the level of support service provided under the maintenance program. Fair value of professional services and other products and services is based on sales of these products and services to other customers when sold on a stand-alone basis. When a software license is sold with software customization services, generally the services are to provide customer support for assistance in creating special reports and other enhancements that will assist with efforts to improve operational efficiency and/or to support business process improvements. These services are not essential to the functionality of the software. However, when software customization services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue for both the software license and the services on a percent-complete basis.
Subscriptions
We provide hosting services to customers who have purchased perpetual rights to certain of our software products (hosting services). Revenue from hosting services, as well as data enrichment services, data management services and online training programs is recognized ratably over the service period of the contract, which generally ranges from one to three years, upon deployment and use of the service. Any related set-up fees are recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related fees.
We make certain of our software products available for use in hosted application arrangements without licensing perpetual rights to the software (hosted applications). Revenue from hosted applications is recognized over the subscription service period, which generally ranges from one to three years, upon deployment and use of the hosted application. Any related upfront activation, set-up or implementation fees are recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related fees. Direct and incremental costs relating to activation, set-up and implementation for hosted applications are capitalized until the hosted application is deployed and in use, and then expensed over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related fees.
For arrangements that have multiple elements and do not include software licenses, we allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of the arrangement to those elements that qualify as separate units of accounting. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on relative selling price

method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy, which includes: (i) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available; (ii) third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) best estimate of selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In general, we use VSOE to allocate the selling price to subscription and service deliverables.
Revenue from transaction processing fees is recognized when received. Credit card fees directly associated with processing donations for customers are included in subscriptions revenue, net of related transaction costs.
Services
We generally bill consulting, installation and implementation services based on hourly rates plus reimbursable travel-related expenses. Revenue is recognized for these services over the period the services are performed.
We recognize analytic services revenue from donor prospect research engagements, the sale of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling service engagements upon delivery.
We sell training at a fixed rate for each specific class, at a per attendee price or at a packaged price for several attendees, and revenue is recognized only upon the customer attending and completing training. Additionally, we sell fixed-rate programs, which permit customers to attend unlimited training over a specified contract period, typically one year, subject to certain restrictions, and revenue is recognized ratably over this contract period.
Maintenance
We recognize revenue from maintenance services ratably over the contract term, which is typically one year. Maintenance contracts are at rates that vary according to the level of the maintenance program and are generally renewable annually. Maintenance contracts also include the right to unspecified product upgrades on an if-and-when available basis. Certain support services are sold in prepaid units of time and recognized as revenue upon their usage.
Deferred revenue
To the extent that the our customers are billed or pay for the above described services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in deferred revenue.
Sales returns and allowance for doubtful accounts
We provide customers a 30-day right of return and under certain circumstances we provide service related credits to our customers. We maintain a reserve for returns and credits which is estimated based on several factors including historical experience, known credits yet to be issued and the nature of service level commitments. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing these factors. Provisions for sales returns are charged against the related revenue items.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount we estimate to be sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses resulting from extending credit to our customers. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider multiple factors including historical bad debt experience, the general economic environment, the need for specific customer reserves and the aging of our receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing these factors and if any receivables were to deteriorate, an additional provision for doubtful accounts could be required. Any necessary provision is reflected in general and administrative expense.

Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill
We review identifiable intangible and other long-lived assets for impairment when events change or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the market value of the business or asset acquired, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which the business or asset acquired is used or significant adverse change in the business climate. If such events or changes in circumstances occur, we use the undiscounted cash flow method to determine whether the asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. To the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, we measure the impairment using discounted cash flows. The discount rate utilized would be based on our best estimate of our risks and required investment returns at the time the impairment assessment is made.
Goodwill is assigned to our five reporting units, which are defined as our four operating segments (see Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements), and Blackbaud Payment Processing Services. We test goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To the extent the qualitative factors indicate that the fair value is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, we then compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, impairment is indicated. If an impairment is indicated, the impairment is measured as the excess of the recorded goodwill over its fair value, which could materially adversely impact our consolidated financial position and results of operations. Significant judgment is required in the assessment of qualitative factors.
We estimate fair value for each reporting unit based on projected future cash flows discounted using our weighted average cost of capital. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in estimating the fair value of each reporting unit, including revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital spending, discount rate, and working capital changes. Additionally, we make certain judgments and assumptions in allocating assets and liabilities to determine the carrying values for each of our reporting units. We believe the assumptions we use in estimating fair value of our reporting units are reasonable, but are also unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. The 2011 annual impairment test of our goodwill indicated there was no impairment.
Stock-based compensation
We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. We determine the fair value of the stock options, stock appreciation rights and certain performance-based restricted stock units using option pricing models, which requires us to use significant judgment to make estimates regarding the life of the award, volatility of our stock price, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield of our stock over the life of the award. Changes to these estimates would result in different fair values of awards.
We estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited and recognize expense only for those awards that ultimately vest. Significant judgment is required in determining the adjustment to compensation expense for estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense in a period could be impacted, favorably or unfavorably, by differences between forfeiture estimates and actual forfeitures.

Provision for income tax and valuation of deferred tax assets
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability approach to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or income tax returns. Using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to reverse, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of an asset or liability. We record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Significant judgment is required in determining income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in a net deferred tax asset or liability that is included in our consolidated balance sheets. The final outcome of these matters for tax reporting purposes might be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions, benefits and accruals. Any difference could have a material effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such a determination is made.
Prior to October 13, 1999, we were organized as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, were not subject to federal income taxes. In addition, we were not subject to income tax in many of the states in which we operated as a result of our S corporation status. We historically made distributions to our stockholders to cover the stockholders anticipated tax liability. In connection with our 1999 recapitalization, we converted our U.S. taxable status from an S corporation to a C corporation. Accordingly, since October 14, 1999 we have been subject to federal and state income taxes. Upon the conversion and in connection with the recapitalization, we recorded a one-time benefit of $107.0 million to establish a deferred tax asset.
We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance, we include an expense within the income tax provision in the consolidated statement of operations. Our valuation allowance of $10.1 million at December 31, 2011 is primarily associated with deferred tax assets for certain state income tax credits, net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards that we have determined are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. The ability to utilize our net deferred tax asset is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income. Based on current estimates of revenue and expenses, we expect future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the remaining deferred tax assets. Even if actual results are significantly below our current estimates, the recovery still remains likely and, except for the state tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards discussed above, no valuation allowance would be necessary.
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. To the extent that final results differ from estimated amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made and could have an impact on the deferred tax asset. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at an amount based upon a U.S. federal income tax rate of 35.0% and appropriate statutory rates of various foreign, state and local jurisdictions in which we operate. If our tax rates change, we will adjust our deferred tax assets and liabilities to an amount reflecting those income tax rates. If such change is determined to be appropriate, it will affect the provision for income taxes during the period that the determination is made.
We recognize the tax impact from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Such tax impact recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Significant judgment is required in the identification and measurement of uncertain tax positions.

We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies in the normal course of business. We record an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and the estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by us. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in these matters, we could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any particular period.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2011, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, which amends the existing criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. Arrangements that include perpetual software licenses are excluded from the scope of this ASU. ASU 2009-13 establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable and requires the use of best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or TPE of the selling price cannot be determined. As a result of the requirement to use the best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or TPE of the selling price cannot be determined, the residual method will no longer be permitted. ASU 2009-13 is applicable prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Effective December 31, 2011, we adopted ASU 2011-08, which simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which (1) eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income, or OCI, as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity, (2) requires the presentation of each component of net income and each component of OCI either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements and (3) also requires presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements. We are required to adopt ASU 2011-05 on January 1, 2012. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Cautionary statement
We operate in a highly competitive environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following statement highlights some of these risks.
Statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not historical facts, are or might constitute forward-looking statements under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Factors that could cause

Item 7. Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations(Continued)
actual results to differ materially from our expectations expressed in the report include: risks related to the proposed Convio acquisition; general economic risk; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; continued success in sales growth; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; risk associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; risks related to our dividend policy and stock repurchase program, including potential limitations on our ability to grow and the possibility that we might discontinue payment of dividends; risks relating to increased borrowing and restrictions imposed by the credit facility; management of integration of recently acquired companies and other risks associated with acquisitions; risks associated with management of growth; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our SEC filings.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Due to the nature of our short-term investments and the lack of material debt, we have concluded at December 31, 2011, that we did not face material market risk exposure. Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required. For a discussion of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, see the Foreign currency exchange rates section of Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in this report.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
No change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter with respect to our operations, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
Managements report on internal control over financial reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, has been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, which is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Blackbaud, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of cash flows and of stockholders equity and comprehensive income present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blackbaud, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
1. | Organization and basis of presentation |
Blackbaud, Inc. (the Company) provides on-premise and cloud-based software solutions and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, and provides products and services that enable nonprofit organizations to increase donations, reduce fundraising costs, improve communications with constituents, manage their finances and optimize internal operations. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately 26,000 active customers distributed across multiple verticals within the nonprofit market including education, foundations, health and human services, religion, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare and international foreign affairs.
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revision of prior period financial statements
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company identified prior period errors related principally to revenue recognition, accounting for income taxes and the capitalization of software development costs. These errors impacted reporting periods beginning in the year ended December 31, 2006 and subsequent periods through September 30, 2011. Following is a description of the errors identified:
| Revenue recognition and related costs The errors resulted from incorrect processing of deferred revenue transactions and incorrect application of the Companys revenue recognition policy to certain subscription, consulting and analytic service arrangements. These errors resulted in a cumulative overstatement of revenue and related costs. |
| Income taxes These errors resulted from improperly recording an income tax benefit for compensation that was limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), resulting in a cumulative understatement of income tax expense. |
| Software development costs The Company determined that certain software development costs had been improperly expensed and should have been capitalized in prior periods. This error resulted in a cumulative overstatement of research and development expense. |
In evaluating whether the Companys previously issued consolidated financial statements were materially misstated, the Company considered the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, ASC Topic 250-10-S99-1, Assessing Materiality, and ASC Topic 250-10-S99-2, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. The Company concluded these errors were not material individually or in the aggregate to any of the prior reporting periods, and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports were not required. However, the cumulative error would be material in the year ended December 31, 2011, if the entire correction was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011, and would have impacted comparisons to prior periods. As such, the revisions for these corrections to the applicable prior periods are reflected in the financial information herein and will be reflected in future filings containing such financial information. In addition to recording these correcting adjustments, the Company recorded other adjustments to prior period amounts to correct other

Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
immaterial out-of-period adjustments, including those that had been previously disclosed. The consolidated statement of stockholders equity was revised to reflect the cumulative effect of these adjustments resulting in a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $0.2 million, an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.1 million and a decrease to retained earnings of $4.7 million as of December 31, 2008.
The prior period financial statements included in this filing have been revised to reflect the corrections of these errors, the effects of which have been provided in summarized format below.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include revenue recognition, the allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, the provision for income taxes and valuation required on deferred tax assets. Changes in the facts or circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes and actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition
The Companys revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (1) selling perpetual licenses of its software products; (2) charging for the use of its software products in a hosted environment; (3) providing professional services including implementation, training, consulting, analytic, hosting and other services; and (4) providing software maintenance and support services.
License fees
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of perpetual software license rights when all of the following conditions are met:
| Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
| The product has been delivered; |
| The fee is fixed or determinable; and |
| Collection of the resulting receivable is probable. |
The Company deems acceptance of an agreement to be evidence of an arrangement. Delivery occurs when the product is shipped or transmitted, and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customers. The Companys typical license agreement does not include customer acceptance provisions; however, if acceptance provisions are provided, delivery is deemed to occur upon acceptance. The Company considers the fee to be fixed or determinable unless the fee is subject to refund or adjustment or is not payable within the Companys standard payment terms. Payment terms greater than 90 days are considered to be beyond the Companys customary payment terms. Collection is deemed probable if the Company expects that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as they become due. If the Company determines that collection is not probable, it defers revenue recognition until collection.
The Company sells software licenses with maintenance, varying levels of professional services and, in certain instances, with hosting services. The Company allocates revenue to delivered components, normally the license component of the arrangement, using the residual value method based on objective evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, which is specific to the Company. Fair value for maintenance services associated with software licenses is based upon renewal rates stated in the agreements with customers, which vary according to the level of support service provided under the maintenance program. Fair value of professional services and other products and services is based on sales of these products and services to other customers when sold on a stand-alone basis. When a software license is sold with software customization services, generally the services are to provide customer support for assistance in creating special reports and other enhancements that will assist with efforts to improve operational efficiency and/or to support business process improvements. These services are not essential to the functionality of the software. However, when software customization services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, the Company recognizes revenue for both the software license and the services on a percent-complete basis.
Subscriptions
The Company provides hosting services to customers who have purchased perpetual rights to certain of its software products (hosting services). Revenue from hosting services, as well as data enrichment services, data management services and online training programs is recognized ratably over the service period of the contract, which generally ranges from one to three years, upon deployment and use of the service. Any related set-up fees are recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related fees.
F-11
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
The Company makes certain of its software products available for use in hosted application arrangements without licensing perpetual rights to the software (hosted applications). Revenue from hosted applications is recognized over the subscription service period, which generally ranges from one to three years, upon deployment and use of the hosted application. Any related upfront activation, set-up or implementation fees are recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related fees. Direct and incremental costs relating to activation, set-up and implementation for hosted applications are capitalized until the hosted application is deployed and in use, and then expensed over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related fees.
For arrangements that have multiple elements and do not include software licenses, the Company allocates arrangement consideration at the inception of the arrangement to those elements that qualify as separate units of accounting. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on relative selling price method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy, which includes: (i) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available; (ii) third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) best estimate of selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In general, the Company uses VSOE to allocate the selling price to subscription and service deliverables.
Revenue from transaction processing fees is recognized when received. Credit card fees directly associated with processing donations for customers are included in subscriptions revenue, net of related transaction costs.
Services
The Company generally bills consulting, installation and implementation services based on hourly rates plus reimbursable travel-related expenses. Revenue is recognized for these services over the period the services are performed.
The Company recognizes analytic services revenue from donor prospect research engagements, the sale of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling service engagements upon delivery.
The Company sells training at a fixed rate for each specific class, at a per attendee price or at a packaged price for several attendees, and revenue is recognized only upon the customer attending and completing training. Additionally, the Company sells fixed-rate programs, which permit customers to attend unlimited training over a specified contract period, typically one year, subject to certain restrictions, and revenue is recognized ratably over this contract period.
Maintenance
The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance services ratably over the contract term, which is typically one year. Maintenance contracts are at rates that vary according to the level of the maintenance program and are generally renewable annually. Maintenance contracts also include the right to unspecified product upgrades on an if-and-when available basis. Certain support services are sold in prepaid units of time and recognized as revenue upon their usage.
Deferred revenue
To the extent that the Companys customers are billed or pay for the above described services in advance of delivery, the Company records such amounts in deferred revenue.

Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
Reimbursable travel expense
The Company expenses reimbursable travel costs as incurred and includes them in cost of other revenue. The reimbursement of these costs by the Companys customers is included in other revenue.
Sales taxes
The Company presents sales taxes and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis and, as such, excludes them from revenues.
Shipping and handling
The Company expenses shipping and handling costs as incurred and includes them in cost of other revenue. The reimbursement of these costs by the Companys customers is included in other revenue.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Donor restricted cash and donations payable
Restricted cash consists of donations collected by the Company and payable to its customers, net of the associated transaction fees earned. Monies associated with donations payable are segregated in a separate bank account and used exclusively for the payment of donations payable. This usage restriction is either legally or internally imposed and reflects the Companys intention with regard to such deposits.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, donor restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Companys cash and cash equivalents and donor restricted cash are placed with high credit-quality financial institutions. The Companys accounts receivable are derived from sales to its customers who primarily operate in the nonprofit sector. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and the Companys expectations of future losses. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, there were no significant concentrations with respect to the Companys consolidated revenues or accounts receivable.
Property and equipment
The Company records property and equipment at cost and depreciates them over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Property and equipment subject to capital leases are depreciated over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Construction-in-progress represents purchases of computer software and hardware associated with new internal system implementation projects which had not been placed in service at the respective balance sheet dates. The Company transferred these assets to the applicable property category on the date they are placed in service. There was no capitalized interest applicable to construction-in-progress for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
F-13
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development or purchase of software for use in the Companys internal operations. Any amounts capitalized are included in computer software costs and amortized over the expected useful life. Costs incurred for upgrades and enhancements, which will not result in additional functionality, are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units and tested annually for impairment. The Companys reporting units are its four reportable segments and its payment processing operations. The Company will also test goodwill for impairment between annual impairment tests if indicators of potential impairment exist. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To the extent the qualitative factors indicate that the fair value is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, impairment is indicated. The 2011 annual impairment test indicated the estimated fair value of the reporting units significantly exceeded the carrying value. There was no impairment of goodwill during 2011, 2010 or 2009.
Intangible assets
The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives as follows.

(1) | Certain of the customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis. |
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of tradenames. The Company evaluates the potential for impairment of finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets periodically and takes into account events or circumstances that indicate revised estimates of useful lives or that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount is no longer recoverable based upon the undiscounted cash flows of the asset, the amount of impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Substantially all of the Companys intangible assets were acquired in business combinations. There was no impairment of intangible assets during 2011, 2010 or 2009.
Cost method investments
Cost method investments included in other assets consist of investments in privately held companies where the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or have control over the investee. The Company records these investments at cost and periodically tests them for other-than-temporary impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that its cost method investment had other-than-temporary impairment based the projected liquidity of the investment. The impairment of $1.8 million was recorded in income from operations. The Company used the income approach to determine the fair value of the investment in determining the impairment.

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The financial instruments of the Company consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values at December 31, 2011 and 2010, due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Deferred financing costs
Deferred financing costs included in other assets represent the direct costs of entering into the Companys revolving credit facility in June 2011. These costs are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. The deferred financing fees are being amortized over the term of the credit facility.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. Stock-based compensation cost arising from stock option grants and awards with performance or market conditions are recognized using the accelerated method. Costs arising from restricted stock and stock appreciation right grants are recognized on a straight-line basis.
Income taxes
Prior to October 13, 1999, the Company was organized as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, was not subject to federal income taxes. The Company historically made distributions to its stockholders to cover the stockholders anticipated tax liability. In connection with its 1999 recapitalization, the Company converted its U.S. taxable status from an S corporation to a C corporation and, accordingly, since October 14, 1999, has been subject to federal and state income taxes. Upon this conversion and as a result of the recapitalization, the Company recorded a one-time benefit of $107.0 million to establish a deferred tax asset. This amount was recorded as a direct increase to equity in the statements of stockholders equity. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2011 or 2010, as the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that it will be able to utilize this benefit, which is dependent upon the Companys ability to generate future taxable income. The amount of deferred tax asset related to this matter at December 31, 2011, was $20.9 million.
The Company recognizes tax benefits arising from uncertain tax positions only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in the provision for income taxes.
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. The Company records its tax provision at the anticipated tax rates based on estimates of annual pretax income. To the extent that the final results differ from these estimated amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made and could have an impact on the deferred tax asset. The Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at an amount based upon a U.S. federal income tax rate of 35.0% and appropriate statutory rates of various foreign, state and local jurisdictions in which
F-15
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
the Company operates. If the Companys tax rates change, the deferred tax assets and liabilities will be adjusted to an amount reflecting those income tax rates. If such change is determined to be appropriate, it will affect the provision for income taxes during the period that the determination is made.
The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent a valuation allowance is established, the Company includes an expense within the income tax provision. The Companys valuation allowance of $10.1 million at December 31, 2011, was primarily associated with deferred tax assets for certain state income tax credits, net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards that it has determined are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of the remaining deferred tax assets, and any further adjustment to the valuation allowance will be made in the period the Company determines it is more-likely-than-not that any of the remaining amounts will not be utilized.
Foreign currency
Net assets recorded in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions denominated in currency other than the functional currency are recorded at the approximate rate of exchange at the transaction date. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded net foreign currency gain of $0.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and these amounts are included in other expense, net.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include salaries and related human resource costs, third-party contractor expenses, software development tools, an allocation of facilities and depreciation expenses and other expenses in developing new products and upgrading and enhancing existing products.
Software development costs
Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, subject to net realizable value considerations. Capitalized software development costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over the estimated product life (typically three years) on a straight line-basis. Amortization expense related to software development costs of approximately $0.1 million was recorded in each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, and was included in cost of license fees in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company analyzes the net realizable value of capitalized software development costs on an annual basis and has determined there is no indication of impairment.
Sales returns and allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company provides customers a 30-day right of return and under certain circumstances provides service related credits to its customers. The Company maintains a reserve for returns and credits which is estimated
F-16
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
based on several factors including historical experience, known credits yet to be issued and the nature of service level commitments. Provisions for sales returns and credits are charged against the related revenue items.
In addition, the Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects estimates of probable credit losses. This assessment is based on several factors including aging of customer accounts, known customer specific risks, historical experience and existing economic conditions. Accounts are charged against the allowance after all means of collection are exhausted and recovery is considered remote. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expense.

The Company pays sales commissions at the time contracts with customers are signed or shortly thereafter, depending on the size and duration of the sales contract. To the extent that these commissions relate to revenue not yet recognized, the amounts are recorded as deferred sales commission costs. Subsequently, the commissions are recognized as expense as the revenue is recognized.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events change or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flow method is used to determine whether the asset is impaired. No impairment of long-lived assets resulted in 2011, 2010 or 2009.
Earnings per share
The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares then outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock awards and units.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, which amends the existing criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. Arrangements that include perpetual software licenses are excluded from the scope of this ASU. ASU 2009-13 establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable and requires the use of best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or TPE of the selling price cannot be determined. As a result of the requirement to use the best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or TPE of the selling price cannot be determined, the residual method is no longer

permitted. ASU 2009-13 is applicable prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2011-08, which simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which (1) eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income, or OCI, as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity, (2) requires the presentation of each component of net income and each component of OCI either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements and (3) also requires presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2011-05 on January 1, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
3. | Business combinations |
The Company completed the business acquisitions described below during the year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for each of them are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined by management.
Everyday Hero
On October 6, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Everyday Hero Pty. Ltd. (EDH), a privately-owned company based in Brisbane, Australia, for $7.6 million in cash. The acquisition of EDH provided the Company additional capabilities in the area of online event fundraising software solutions for nonprofit organizations including donation processing. During 2011, total revenue from EDH operations included in the Companys results of operations was $0.8 million and cost of revenue was $0.3 million. Acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million, which primarily consisted of legal and financial advisory services, were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2011.
The Company allocated the fair value of the total consideration transferred to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The Company recorded the excess of consideration over the aggregate fair values as goodwill. Using information available at the time the acquisition closed, the Company allocated $0.5 million of the consideration to net tangible assets and $6.2 million of the consideration to identified intangible assets. The identified intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted average life of 10 years. The Company recorded the excess consideration of $0.9 million as goodwill, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. The recognition of goodwill was principally attributable to a trained workforce and the integration of the Companys technology and products with EDHs operations which were considered in the purchase price. All of the goodwill is assigned to the IBU reporting segment.

Pro forma results of operations for EDH have not been presented because the results of EDH are not material to the Companys consolidated financial results.
Public Interest Data
On February 1, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Public Interest Data, LLC (PIDI), a privately held limited liability company based in Virginia, for $16.6 million in cash. The acquisition of PIDI provided the Company additional capabilities in the area of donor acquisition list analytics and should enhance the Companys database management services offerings. The additional capabilities include the established process for delivering list analytic and data management services as well as the associated experienced workforce and technology. During the year ended December 31, 2011, total revenue from PIDI of $7.5 million and cost of revenue of $4.8 million was included in the Companys results of operations. Acquisition-related costs of $1.0 million, which primarily consisted of legal and financial advisory services, were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2011.
In addition to the consideration paid at closing, the Company might be required to pay up to a maximum of $2.5 million in additional cash consideration if PIDI meets revenue targets over the two years subsequent to the acquisition. A liability of $1.4 million was initially recognized for the estimated contingent consideration that will be paid based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow valuation technique. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $0.8 million of income, as a result of the change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability. This amount was recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expense.

Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
The estimated fair value of accounts receivable approximates contractual value. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the assembled workforce of PIDI and the opportunities for expected synergies. None of the goodwill arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill of $12.3 million and $0.8 million was assigned to the Target Analytics and ECBU reporting segments, respectively. The acquisition resulted in the identification of the following finite-lived intangible assets:

Pro forma results of operations for PIDI have not been presented because the results of PIDI are not material to the Companys consolidated financial results.
2010 Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company acquired two entities for total consideration of $5.3 million, all of which was paid in cash. The results of operations of acquired entities have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of these business combinations, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the consolidated results of operations of the Company. The Company recorded the purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Revolving credit facility
In June 2011, the Company entered into a five-year $125.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is guaranteed by the Companys material subsidiaries, as defined, and is collateralized with the stock of all of the Companys subsidiaries, as defined. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.
Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Companys option, at a variable rate based on (a) the highest of (i) the prime rate (ii) federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (iii) one month LIBOR plus 1%, in addition to a margin of 0.375% to 1.0% (Base Rate Loans) or (b) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.375% to 2.0% (LIBOR Loans). The exact amount of any margin depends on the nature of the loan and the Companys leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. The Company also pays a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to 0.25%, 0.275%, 0.3% or 0.35% per annum, depending on the Companys leverage ratio. At December 31, 2011, the commitment fee was 0.25%.
Under the credit facility, the Company has the ability to choose either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Base rate borrowings mature in June 2016. LIBOR Loans can be one, two, three or six month maturities (or, if agreed to by all applicable lenders, nine or twelve months), and the Company has the ability to extend the maturity of these loans by rolling them at their maturity into new loans with the same or longer maturities. The Company evaluates the classification of its debt based on the maturity of individual borrowings and any roll-over of borrowings subsequent to the balance sheet date, but prior to issuance of the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred financing costs
In connection with the Companys credit facility entered into in June 2011, the Company paid $0.8 million of financing costs, which is amortized over the term of the new facility. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, deferred financing costs totaling $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

10. | Commitments and contingencies |
Leases
The Company leases its headquarters facility under a 15 year lease agreement which was entered into in October 2008, and has two five-year renewal options. The annual base rent of the lease is $3.6 million payable in equal monthly installments. The base rent escalates annually at a rate equal to the change in the consumer price index, as defined in the agreement, but not to exceed 5.5% in any year. In addition, under the terms of the lease, the lessor will reimburse the Company an aggregate amount of $4.0 million for leasehold improvements, which will be recorded as a reduction to rent expense ratably over the term of the lease. During each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, rent expense was reduced by $0.3 million related to this lease provision. The $4.0 million leasehold improvement allowance has been included in the table of operating lease commitments below as a reduction in the Companys lease commitments ratably over the then remaining life of the lease from October 2008. The timing of the reimbursements for the actual leasehold improvements may vary from the amount reflected in the table below.
Additionally, the Company has subleased a portion of its facilities under various agreements extending through 2014. Under these agreements, rent expense was reduced by $0.4 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The operating lease commitments in the table below have been reduced by minimum aggregate sublease commitments of $0.3 million during 2012 and 2013; the amount in 2014 is immaterial. No minimum aggregate sublease commitments exist after 2014. The Company has also received, and expects to receive through 2016, quarterly South Carolina state incentive payments as a result of locating its headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina. These amounts are recorded as a reduction of rent expense and were $2.3 million, $2.0 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total rent expense was $4.7 million, $5.4 million and $5.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Additionally, the Company leases various office space and equipment under operating leases. The Company also has various non-cancelable capital leases for computer equipment and furniture that are not significant.
As of December 31, 2011, the future minimum lease commitments related to lease agreements, net of related sublease commitments and lease incentives, were as follows:

Other commitments
The Company utilizes third-party relationships in conjunction with its products, with contractual arrangements varying in length from one to three years. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment. As of December 31, 2011, the remaining aggregate minimum purchase commitment

Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
under these arrangements is approximately $8.1 million through 2013. The Company incurred expense under these arrangements of $6.8 million, $4.1 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Legal contingencies
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company records an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe the amount of potential liability with respect to legal proceedings and/or claims in the ordinary course of business will have a material adverse effect upon the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Guarantees and indemnification obligations
The Company enters into agreements in the ordinary course of business with, among others, customers, vendors and service providers. Pursuant to certain of these agreements the Company has agreed to indemnify the other party for certain matters, such as property damage, personal injury, acts or omissions of the Company, or its employees, agents or representatives, or third-party claims alleging that the activities of its contractual partner pursuant to the contract infringe a patent, trademark or copyright of such third party.
The Company assesses the fair value of its liability on the above indemnities to be immaterial based on historical experience and information known at December 31, 2011.
11. | Income taxes |
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. for federal and various state jurisdictions as well as in foreign jurisdictions including Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Netherlands. The Company is generally subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years 2008 through 2010 as well as state and foreign income tax examinations for various years depending on statutes of limitations of those jurisdictions.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had state tax credit carryovers of approximately $11.1 million, net of federal tax, which will expire between 2012 and 2026, if unused. These state tax credits had a valuation reserve of approximately $8.9 million, net of federal tax, as of December 31, 2011.
The Company acquired all of its federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in business acquisitions. At December 31, 2011, the Company had deferred tax assets of $14.4 million for federal net operating loss carryforwards and $2.4 million for state net operating loss carryforwards. These deferred assets pertain to net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $41.2 million and $50.4 million for federal and state purposes, respectively, at December 31, 2011. These net operating loss carryforwards expire during various tax years through 2030. As a result of the Kintera acquisition, Kintera underwent a change in ownership under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC Sec. 382) on July 8, 2008, the date of the Companys acquisition. In general, IRC Sec. 382 places annual limitations on the use of certain tax attributes such as net operating losses and tax credit carryovers in existence at the ownership change date. These limitations restrict the amount of the aforementioned net operating loss carryforwards that are available to offset taxable income each year. A portion of the state net operating loss carryforward has a valuation reserve due to managements uncertainty regarding the future ability to use such carryforwards.
The following table illustrates the change in the Companys deferred tax asset valuation allowance:

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $1.8 million at December 31, 2011. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties included in the consolidated statement of operations as an increase in income tax expense for 2011 was $0.1 million. The total amount of interest and penalties included in the consolidated statement of operations for 2010 was $0.2 million of a decrease in income tax expense; interest and penalties were immaterial in 2009.
The Company has taken positions in certain taxing jurisdictions related to state nexus issues for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits might decrease within the next twelve months. This possible decrease could result from the finalization of state income tax reviews and the expiration of statutes of limitations. The reasonably possible decrease is not material at December 31, 2011.
It continues to be the Companys intention to indefinitely reinvest undistributed foreign earnings. Accordingly, no deferred tax liability has been recorded in connection with the undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $1.4 million. It is not practicable for the Company to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability for temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries.
12. | Stock-based compensation |
Employee stock-based compensation plans
Under the Blackbaud, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (2008 Equity Plan), the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards and other stock awards to eligible employees, directors and consultants. The Company maintains other stock based compensation plans including the 2004 Stock Plan and the 2001 Stock Option Plan, under which no additional grants may be made, and the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan for Employees from Acquired Companies, under which the Company may grant shares of its common stock to employees pursuant to employment contracts or other arrangements entered into in connection with past and future acquisitions. In connection with the acquisition of Kintera on July 8, 2008, the Company also maintains the Kintera, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended (Kintera 2000 Plan) and Kintera, Inc. Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (Kintera 2003 Plan), that it assumed upon the acquisition of Kintera. The Companys Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the plans and the stock-based awards are granted under terms determined by them. The total number of authorized stock-based awards

available under the Companys plans was 1,105,980 as of December 31, 2011. The Company issues common stock from its pool of authorized stock upon exercise of stock options, settlement of stock appreciation rights or upon granting of restricted stock.
The Company has issued four types of awards under these plans: stock options, restricted stock awards, performance-based restricted stock unit awards and stock appreciation rights. The following table sets forth the number of awards outstanding for each award type as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Additionally, stock appreciation rights (SARs) have contractual lives of 5 or 7 years.
The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with options and restricted stock unit awards with performance or market based vesting conditions on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards and SARs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period.
Stock-based compensation expense is allocated to expense categories on the statements of operations based on the employees departmental cost center. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $3.1 million, $9.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The total fair value of options that vested during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was not material. The total fair value of options that vested during the year ended December 31, 2009, was $2.3 million. All outstanding options granted by the Company had a fair market value assigned at grant date based on the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in the valuation of options are the same as described in the stock appreciation rights section below.
There have been no new stock option awards granted since 2005.
Restricted stock awards
The Company has also granted shares of common stock subject to certain restrictions under the 2008 Equity Plan and the 2004 Stock Plan. Restricted stock awards granted to employees vest in equal annual installments over four years from the grant date. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors vest after one year from the date of grant or, if earlier, immediately prior to the next annual election of directors, provided the non-employee director is serving as a director at that time. Restricted stock awards granted to the Companys executive officers and certain members of management are subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in

control of the Company as defined in the employees retention agreement. The fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant is amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over the period of vesting. Recipients of restricted stock awards have the right to vote such shares and receive dividends. Income tax benefits resulting from the vesting of restricted stock awards are recognized in the period the restrictions lapse to the extent expense has been recognized. Tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation in excess of the related book expense recorded are credited to additional paid-in capital within stockholders equity.

Performance-based restricted stock unit awards
The Company has also granted restricted stock units subject to certain restrictions under the 2008 Equity Plan. Restricted stock units granted to employees vest in equal annual installments over three years from the grant date subject to meeting certain performance conditions that are based on company and/or market conditions. Restricted stock units granted to the Companys executive officers and certain members of management are subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company as defined in the employees retention agreement. The fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant is amortized on an accelerated basis to expense over the period of vesting.

Stock appreciation rights
The Company has granted SARs under the 2008 Equity Plan and the 2004 Stock Plan to certain members of management. The SARs will be settled in stock at the time of exercise and vest three and four years from the date of grant subject to the recipients continued employment with the Company. SARs granted to the Companys executive officers and certain members of management are subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company as defined in the employees retention agreement. The number of shares issued upon the exercise of the SARs is calculated as the difference between the share price of the Companys stock on the date of exercise and the date of grant multiplied by the number of SARs divided by the share price on the exercise date.

Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock and the average expected volatility over the expected life of the SAR. The dividend yield is based on the adopted dividend policy in effect at the time of grant and the expectation of future dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury rate for a term consistent with the expected life of the SAR at the time of grant. The expected life of the SAR represents the length of time from grant until the SAR is exercised based on experience.

Preferred stock
The Companys Board of Directors may fix the relative rights and preferences of each series of preferred stock in a resolution of the Board of Directors.
Dividends
The Companys Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy which provides for the distribution to stockholders a portion of cash generated by the Company that is in excess of operational needs and capital expenditures. The Companys credit facility limits the amount of dividends payable and certain state laws restrict the amount of dividends distributed.
The following table provides information with respect to quarterly dividends paid on common stock during the year ended December 31, 2011:

Stock repurchase program
The Company has a repurchase program that authorizes the Company to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date. The shares can be purchased from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon market conditions and other factors.
The Company accounts for purchases of treasury stock under the cost method. The remaining amount available to purchase stock under the stock repurchase program was $50.0 million as of December 31, 2011.
14. | Employee profit-sharing plan |

F-35
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements(Continued)
qualified employees contributions up to 6% of their salary. The 401K Plan also provides for additional employer contributions to be made at the Companys discretion.

15. | Segment information |
As of December 31, 2011, the Companys reportable segments were as follows: the ECBU, the GMBU, the IBU, and Target Analytics. Following is a description of each reportable segment:
| The ECBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to large and/or strategic customers, named prospects and customers in North America. |
| The GMBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all emerging and mid-sized prospects and customers in North America. |
| The IBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all prospects and customers outside of North America. |
| Target Analytics is focused on marketing, sales and delivery of analytics services to all prospects and customers in North America. |
The Companys chief operating decision maker is its chief executive officer, or CEO. The CEO reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for the purposes of making certain operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CEO uses internal financial reports that provide segment revenues and operating income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, depreciation expense, research and development expense and certain corporate sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses. The CEO believes that the exclusion of these costs allows for a better understanding of the operating performance of the operating units and management of other operating expenses and cash needs. The CEO does not review any segment balance sheet information.

Proposed Convio acquisition
On January 16, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Convio, Inc. (Convio), a leading provider of on-demand constituent engagement solutions that enable nonprofit organizations to more effectively raise funds, advocate for change and cultivate relationships. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Convio for $16.00 per share, representing a premium of 49% compared to Convios closing price prior to the announcement of the proposed acquisition and an enterprise value of approximately $275.0 million (based on dilutive shares). The Company will finance the deal through a combination of cash and debt.
Amended and restated credit facility
The Company amended and restated its credit facility to a $325.0 million five-year credit facility on February 9, 2012. The credit facility includes the following facilities: a dollar and a designated currency revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans, and a delayed draw term loan. The credit facility is secured by the stock and limited liability company interests of certain subsidiaries that were pledged as part of the closing. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility will be guaranteed by material domestic subsidiaries of the Company, if any. In connection with the amended credit facility, the Company incurred $2.4 million of financing costs.

ARTICLE I
THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES; CLOSING
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares. At the Closing and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Stockholders shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Blackbaud, and Blackbaud shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Stockholders, all of the Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and with Blackbaud making the payments to the Stockholders as described in Section 1.3 hereof.
1.2 Closing.
(a) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article V, the closing of the Sale (the Closing) will take place at multiple locations determined by the parties and on a date (the Closing Date) to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
(b) The parties agree that the process to be followed at Closing will be, subject to the terms of this Agreement, as follows:
(i) the parties will mutually agree upon a Closing Date which allows enough time for the parties to:
(1) satisfy their pre-Closing obligations under this Agreement; and
(2) to mutually agree upon the terms of such other instruments and documents that are required by this Agreement to be delivered as a condition of Closing (the Ancillary Documents);
(ii) once the parties are satisfied that the Ancillary Documents are final, Blackbaud and the Stockholders will procure the signatures required for each Ancillary Document;
(iii) on or before one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Blackbaud and the Stockholder will fax to each others attorneys the fully executed signature pages of the Ancillary Documents, with such signature pages to be held in escrow by the receiving attorneys for the benefit of the signing party until the signing party confirms that such signature pages can be released from escrow;
(iv) on the Closing Date the parties participate in a teleconference at a mutually agreed time, in which the parties determine whether or not they are satisfied that the parties can proceed to Closing;
(v) if the parties are satisfied to proceed to Closing, Blackbaud will then pay the Initial Purchase Price from an Australian bank account in accordance with this Agreement and the Spreadsheet, will pay the Escrow Amount in accordance with the agreement governing the terms thereof, and will provide email confirmation to the Stockholders that this has been done;
(vi) Upon Stockholders reasonable satisfaction that Blackbaud has initiated payment of the amounts set forth in Section 1.2(v)(vi) in accordance with the terms thereof, Blackbaud and the Stockholders will then authorize the other partys attorney to release the signature pages from escrow to their client, and upon the Stockholders receipt of the Purchase Price, the Sale will be closed.
1.3 Purchase Price.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as consideration for the transfer of the Shares from the Stockholders to Blackbaud, at the Closing, Blackbaud shall pay in Cleared Funds to the Stockholders (in proportion to their ownership of the Shares), without interest, an amount equal to the Initial Purchase Price minus (i) the sum, as of the Closing Date, of (A) Closing Debt, (B) any amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (C) all severance, change of control or similar payments paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions, and (D) any Working Capital Deficiency pursuant to Section 1.4(a), plus (ii) any Working Capital Surplus pursuant to Section 1.4(a) (all such adjustments are referred to herein as the Purchase Price
-2-
Adjustments and the resulting purchase price referred to as the Final Purchase Price) for the issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as to accrued interest on the Escrow Amount as further described in Article VI, in no event shall the aggregate amount paid by Blackbaud hereunder to the Stockholders exceed the Final Purchase Price.
(b) Blackbaud shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Final Purchase Price any amounts that Blackbaud is required or entitled to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over by the Blackbaud to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Stockholders.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a portion of the Final Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder to the Stockholders shall be retained by Blackbaud in an escrow account and paid to the Stockholders pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions of Article VI.
1.4 Closing Adjustments to Final Purchase Price.
(a) Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Blackbaud a balance sheet dated as of the Closing Date, prepared in a manner consistent with that used to prepare the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries included in the Interim Financial Statements, projecting the Companys and its Subsidiaries financial condition as of the Closing Date (the Closing Balance Sheet), including Total Current Assets, Total Current Liabilities and the Purchase Price Adjustments, and each shall be prepared consistent with the Financial Statements and denominated in Australian dollars. The Company shall also deliver supporting schedules showing financial transactions from the date of the Interim Financial Statement for the purpose of supporting Blackbauds conversion of the Closing Balance Sheet, including each component thereof, in a manner consistent with standards applied by Price Waterhouse Coopers in its 2011 financial review. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be certified by the Companys Chief Executive Officer in a form reasonably acceptable to Blackbaud. Blackbaud shall, following the Closing, convert the Closing Balance Sheet, including each component thereof, in a manner consistent with standards applied by Price Waterhouse Coopers in its 2011 financial review (as so converted, the Final Balance Sheet).
(b) To the extent that Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target (a Working Capital Deficiency), the Initial Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of the Working Capital Deficiency. To the Extent that Working Capital is more than the Working Capital Target (a Working Capital Surplus), the Initial Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of the Working Capital Surplus. The Final Purchase Price is subject to further adjustment in accordance with Sections 1.4(c) through 1.4(e) below.
(c) Blackbaud shall, within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (the Examination Period), examine the Final Balance Sheet. During the Examination Period, if Blackbaud disputes the Final Balance Sheet or any line items therein, then Blackbaud may deliver to the Stockholder Representative a notice of dispute setting forth in reasonable detail the actual line item or items disputed, the amounts disputed and the basis for such dispute (each, a Payment Dispute Notice). At any time prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, Blackbaud may in its sole discretion amend and/or withdraw any previously submitted Payment Dispute Notice. Upon the expiration of the Examination Period, if no Payment Dispute Notice has been provided by Blackbaud during the Examination Period, or if all
-3-
provided Payment Dispute Notice(s) have been withdrawn by Blackbaud, then the Final Balance Sheet provided pursuant to Section 1.4(a) above shall be deemed accepted by Blackbaud. However, if upon the expiration of the Examination Period, one or more Payment Dispute Notice(s) has or have been delivered and not withdrawn, then, until ten (10) Business Days following the end of the Examination Period (the Negotiation Period), Blackbaud and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to agree on the Final Balance Sheet.
(d) To the extent a Payment Dispute Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn and no agreement pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above is reached during the Negotiation Period, then Blackbaud may engage Price Waterhouse Coopers or another internationally recognized accounting firm (the Selected Firm) to examine the disputed items as of the Closing Date and deliver its results which shall include any adjustments required to the Final Balance Sheet (as so adjusted, the Negotiated Balance Sheet) to Blackbaud and the Stockholders no later than thirty (30) Business Days following such appointment. The Selected Firm shall be limited in its engagement and decision to applying such agreed upon procedures to the particular line items and range of amounts set forth in the Payment Dispute Notice(s) and not settled by written agreement during the Negotiation Period, and shall not render a decision on any other portion of the Final Balance Sheet or any amount outside such disputed range of amounts for any such line items. The decision of the Selected Firm shall be final and binding upon the parties. The costs and expenses of such Selected Firm (the Audit Costs) shall be borne by Blackbaud; provided, however, that should the Selected Firm determine that there exists a discrepancy in the disputed items between the Final Balance Sheet and the Negotiated Balance Sheet in excess of $10,000 that creates or increases a Working Capital Deficiency, then the Audit Costs (subject to a $20,000 maximum) shall be borne by the Stockholders and Blackbaud shall be entitled to reduce the Escrow Amount by the total Audit Costs, upon notice to the Stockholder Representative.
(e) If the Negotiated Balance Sheet (or final determination of Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above) would have resulted in a lower Initial Purchase Price, Blackbaud shall be entitled to reduce the Escrow Amount by the amount by which the Initial Purchase Price constituted an overpayment. Conversely, if the Negotiated Balance Sheet (or final determination of Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above) would have resulted in a higher Initial Purchase Price, Blackbaud shall pay in Cleared Funds to the Stockholders (in proportion to their ownership of the Shares) the amount by which the Initial Purchase Price constituted an underpayment within three (3) Business Days of the determination that there has been an underpayment.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 1.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, all reductions from the Escrow Amount permitted pursuant to (or payments required by) this Section 1.4 shall be made on a dollar-for-dollar basis regardless of amount and without regard to the Aggregate Threshold Amount.

An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI (other than a third-party claim covered by Section 6.3(b) below) shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a certificate (an Officers Certificate) signed by any officer of Blackbaud (or another Indemnified Party) (A) stating that Blackbaud (or such other Indemnified Party) has paid, sustained, incurred, or accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, incur, or accrue Losses (the aggregate amount of such Losses being referred to as the Claimed Amount), (B) specifying in reasonable detail the facts pertinent to such claim(s), the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated and the nature of basis for indemnification to which such item is related, and (C) demanding payment of the Claimed Amount. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such Officers Certificate, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Stockholder Representative shall: (I) agree that the
-40-
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case Blackbaud shall reduce the Escrow Amount by an amount equal to the Claimed Amount), (II) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the Agreed Amount) (in which case Blackbaud shall reduce the Escrow Amount by the Agreed Amount), or (III) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Stockholder Representative in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, then the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 6.3(c) below. Failure of the Stockholder Representative to timely respond in writing in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 6.3(a) shall be treated as agreement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to all of the Claimed Amount.
(b) Procedure for Third Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third party claim which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in a Loss, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative of such claim by delivery of an Officers Certificate to the Stockholder Representative. Delay or failure in so notifying the Stockholder Representative shall relieve the Stockholder Representative of its obligations under this Article VI only to the extent, if at all, that the Stockholder is actually prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. If there is a third party claim that, if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses hereunder, then any amounts incurred or accrued in defense of such third party claim, regardless of the outcome of such claim, shall be deemed Losses hereunder. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Officers Certificate, the Stockholder Representative may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim if (1) the Stockholder Representative provides written notice to such Indemnified Party that the Stockholder Representative intends to undertake such defense and that the Stockholders will indemnify the Indemnified Parties against all Losses resulting from or relating to such third-party claim; (2) the Stockholder Representative provides such Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party that the Stockholders will have the financial resources to defend against the third-party claimant and fulfill their indemnification obligations hereunder; (3) the third-party claim involves only monetary damages that will be fully covered by the Escrow Amount (taking into account all other pending claims against the Escrow Amount) and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (4) settlement of or an adverse judgment with respect to the third-party claim is not, in the good faith judgment of Blackbaud, likely to establish a precedent adverse to the continuing business of Blackbaud, and (5) the defense of the third-party claim is conducted actively and diligently by legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party. If the Stockholder Representative undertakes such defense, Blackbaud will, and will cause the Company to provide the Stockholder Representative with all relevant records, except as may be prohibited by Law or an obligation of confidentiality or is otherwise privileged. If the Stockholder Representative does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Stockholder Representative assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice of counsel, that the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Stockholder Representative be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel per jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party reasonably advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written
-41-
consent of the Stockholder Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Stockholder Representative shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of all potential Indemnified Parties from all Liability with respect thereto or that imposes any Liability on any potential Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party.
(c) Resolution of Conflicts. In case the Stockholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officers Certificate, the Stockholder Representative and Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims within forty-five (45) days following the delivery by the Stockholder Representative of its response to such Officers Certificate. If the Stockholder Representative and Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. Blackbaud shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make deliveries from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms thereof.
6.4 Escrow. As of the Closing, Blackbaud shall hold the Escrow Amount for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations set forth in Article VI of this Agreement and, at Blackbauds option, the Working Capital Deficiency set forth in Section 1.4(a) of this Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall be held in an account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (acting through its Sydney branch) opened jointly in the name of Blackbaud Pacific Pty Ltd ACN 095 925 170 and Nathan Betteridge (as Stockholder Representative), with the interest accruing in favor of the Stockholders but subject to recovery by Blackbaud under this Article VI. Within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Survival Date, Blackbaud shall pay to the Stockholders the Escrow Amount (including any accrued interest thereon and without regard to any income Taxes payable by Blackbaud on such interest) not previously released to Blackbaud and retain any Escrow Amount subject to unsatisfied claims specified in any Officers Certificate delivered to the Stockholder Representative prior to the expiration of the Survival Date. Within five (5) Business Days after all such claims have been resolved, Blackbaud shall deliver to the Stockholders the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount (including any accrued interest thereon and without regard to any income Taxes payable by Blackbaud on such interest). Deliveries of the Escrow Amount to the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be made in proportion to their respective original contributions to the Escrow Amount.
6.5 Stockholder Representative.
(a) The Stockholders, by the approval and adoption of this Agreement, confirm the authorization of the Stockholder Representative (i) to take all action necessary to negotiate, document and close the transactions contemplated hereby, or the defense and/or settlement of any claims for which the Stockholders may be required to indemnify Blackbaud or any other Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VI hereof, (ii) to give and receive all notices required to be given under this Agreement, and (iii) to take any and all additional action as is contemplated to be taken by or on behalf of the holders of the Company Capital Stock by the terms of this Agreement.
(b) All decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representative, including any agreement between the Stockholder Representative and Blackbaud relating to the defense or settlement of any claims for which the Stockholders may be required to indemnify Blackbaud pursuant to Article VI hereof, shall be binding upon all of the Stockholders, and no Stockholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.
(c) The Stockholder Representative shall not have any Liability to any of the parties hereto or to the Stockholders for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while
-42-
acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Stockholders shall severally indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold him harmless against any loss, Liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs incurred by the Stockholder Representative. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Stockholders, such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from the Escrow Amount held by Blackbaud that is otherwise distributable to Stockholders (and not retained or to be retained by Blackbaud or subject to a pending indemnification claim of Blackbaud) pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d) The Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Stockholder to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Stockholders under this Article VI.
(e) By his, her or its approval of the Sale and this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees, in addition to the foregoing, that:
(i) Blackbaud and any other Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Stockholder Representative as to (i) the settlement of any claims for indemnification by Blackbaud or such Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VI hereof, or (ii) any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative hereunder, and no party hereunder shall have any cause of action against Blackbaud or such Indemnified Party for any action taken by Blackbaud or such Indemnified Party in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Stockholder Representative;
(ii) all actions, decisions and instructions of the Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Stockholders and no Stockholder shall have any cause of action against the Stockholder Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful misconduct by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the matters described in this Section 6.5;
(iii) the provisions of this Section 6.5 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Stockholder may have in connection with the Transactions;
(iv) remedies available at law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 6.5 are inadequate; therefore, Blackbaud shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving damages if Blackbaud brings an action to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.5.
(f) The individual serving as the Stockholder Representative may resign (upon no less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Blackbaud and each holder of record of Company Capital Stock that was outstanding as of the Closing Date). In the event of the death or permanent disability of the then Stockholder Representative, or if the then-acting Stockholder Representative shall give notice of intent to resign, the holders of a majority in interest of Company Capital Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date shall, by written notice to Blackbaud, appoint a successor Stockholder Representative as soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following such death, permanent disability or notice of intent to resign. In addition, the individual serving as the Stockholder Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Capital Stock
-43-
outstanding as of the Closing Date upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Blackbaud and each holder of record of Company Capital Stock that was outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each successor Stockholder Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Stockholder Representative, and the term Stockholder Representative as used herein shall be deemed to include any such successor Stockholder Representatives.
(g) The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Stockholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Stockholder or the Stockholders shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Stockholders hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the Laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

The time period and/or geographical area of restriction and/or related aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall then become, and thereafter be, the maximum restriction in such regard, and the provision, as reformed, shall remain valid and enforceable
(g) Execution. This Agreement may be executed in duplicate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original hereof.

(a) Accounting for Profits. If Employee shall violate any of the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, the Company shall be entitled to an accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation, commissions, remuneration, or other benefits that Employee directly or indirectly has realized and/or may realize as a result of, growing out of, or in connection with, any such violation.

In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, the Company, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights, remedies, or damages available to the Company at law or in equity, shall be entitled to obtain (without the necessity of posting a bond) a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and permanent injunction in order to prevent or restrain any such breach by Employee or by Employees partners, agents, representatives, servants, employers, employees, companies, consulting clients, and/or any and all persons directly or indirectly acting for or with Employee. Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach by Employee of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which the remedy of monetary damages, alone will be inadequate.

The time period and/or geographical area of restriction and/or related aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall then become, and thereafter be, the maximum restriction in such regard, and the provision, as reformed, shall remain valid and enforceable
(g) Execution. This Agreement may be executed in duplicate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original hereof.
