| 2. Basis of Presentation | ||
Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to state fairly the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S.") ("GAAP"). The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.
Basis of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reportable segment
We report our operating results and financial information in one operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker uses consolidated financial information to make operating decisions, assess financial performance and allocate resources. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer.
As discussed in Note 13 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, beginning in the second quarter of 2021, we combined our General Markets Group ("GMG") and Enterprise Markets Group ("EMG") into a single U.S. Markets Group ("UMG") and moved our Corporations vertical under our International Markets Group ("IMG"). This change was made to better align our resources toward customer retention and growth which, are key objectives as we progress toward our long-term aspirational goals. We also acquired EVERFI (as defined below) as of December 31, 2021. As we are working to integrate EVERFI into our business, it has not yet been included in one of our market groups. These changes did not impact our conclusions that we have one operating and reportable segment and one goodwill reporting unit.
First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | | 7 | ||||||
Risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19
We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that COVID-19 may continue to significantly impact our vertical markets and geographies, but the magnitude of the impact on our business cannot be determined at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration of the outbreak, the severity of variants which may develop, travel restrictions and business closures, the effectiveness of vaccination programs and other actions taken to contain the disease and other unforeseeable consequences.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes, business combinations, stock-based compensation, capitalization of software development costs, our allowances for credit losses and sales returns, costs of obtaining contracts, valuation of derivative instruments, loss contingencies and insurance recoveries, among others. Changes in the facts or circumstances underlying these estimates, including due to COVID-19, could result in material changes and actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we expect to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements when adopted in the future.
Summary of significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.
| 3. Business Combinations | ||
2021 Acquisition
EVERFI
On December 31, 2021, we acquired all of the outstanding equity securities, including all voting equity interests, of EVERFI, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("EVERFI"), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger. The acquisition advanced our position as a leader in the rapidly evolving ESG and CSR spaces. We acquired the equity securities for approximately $442.7 million in cash consideration and 3,811,348 shares of the company's common stock, valued at approximately $301.1 million, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $743.8 million, subject to closing adjustments. The cash consideration and related expenses were funded primarily through cash on hand and new borrowings under the 2020 Credit Facility (as defined below). As a result of the acquisition, EVERFI has become a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. The operating results of EVERFI have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, we determined that the impact of this acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements; therefore, revenue and earnings since the acquisition date and pro forma information are not required to be presented.
The fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisition of EVERFI are based on our best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary pending finalization. The estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The assets and liabilities, pending finalization, include the valuation of intangible assets as well as the assumed deferred income tax balances. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded an insignificant measurement period adjustment to the estimated fair value of the EVERFI assets acquired and liabilities assumed following the receipt of new information. The adjustment resulted in an increase to net working capital, excluding deferred revenue, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

| 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | ||
The change in goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisted of the following:

(1)See Note 3 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the measurement period adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the estimated fair value of the EVERFI assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
| 5. Loss Per Share | ||
We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) 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 outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the assumed exercise, settlement and vesting of all dilutive securities using the “treasury stock method” except when the effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock awards and units. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was the same as basic loss per share as there was a net loss in the period and inclusion of potentially dilutive securities was anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

| 6. Fair Value Measurements | ||
We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
•Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
•Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following, as of the dates indicated below:
| Fair value measurement using | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| (dollars in thousands) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||||||||
| Fair value as of March 31, 2022 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Financial assets: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative instruments | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Total financial assets | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||

| Financial assets: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative instruments | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Total financial assets | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
Our derivative instruments within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging, are required to be recorded at fair value. Our derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value include interest rate swaps. See Note 9 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about our derivative instruments.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps was based on model-driven valuations using LIBOR rates, which are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Accordingly, our interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. has stated that it plans to phase out all tenors of LIBOR by June 2023. We do not currently anticipate a significant impact to our financial position or results of operations as a result of this action as we expect that our financial contracts currently indexed to LIBOR will either expire or be modified without significant financial impact before the phase out occurs.
We believe the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and due to customers approximate their fair values at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments.
We believe the carrying amount of our debt approximates its fair value at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as the debt bears interest rates that approximate market value. As LIBOR and SOFR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals, our debt under the 2020 Credit Facility (as defined below) is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Our fixed rate debt is also classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
10 | | First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | ||||||
We did not transfer any assets or liabilities among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, we did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets. These assets are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed or at lease commencement, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for long-lived assets, intangible assets acquired and operating lease ROU assets, are based on Level 3 unobservable inputs. In the event of an impairment, we determine the fair value of these assets other than goodwill using a discounted cash flow approach, which contains significant unobservable inputs and, therefore, is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate. For goodwill impairment testing, we estimate fair value using market-based methods including the use of market capitalization and consideration of a control premium.

2020 credit facility
In October 2020, we entered into a five-year $900.0 million senior credit facility (the "2020 Credit Facility"). At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the 2020 Credit Facility.
First incremental term loan
In December 2021, we entered into the First Incremental Term Loan Agreement (the "Incremental Amendment"). The Incremental Amendment amended the 2020 Credit Facility and, among other things, provided for a $250.0 million incremental term loan (the “2021 Incremental Term Loan”).
Financing for EVERFI acquisition
On December 31, 2021, we acquired EVERFI for approximately $442.7 million in cash consideration and 3,811,348 shares of the company's common stock, valued at approximately $301.1 million, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $743.8 million, subject to closing adjustments. We financed the cash consideration and related expenses through cash on hand and new borrowings under the 2020 Credit Facility, including $250.0 million under the 2021 Incremental Term Loan (as defined above).
First amendment to 2020 Credit Facility
On January 31, 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment amended the 2020 Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) modify the definition of “Applicable Margin”, (ii) modify the net leverage ratio financial covenant to require a net leverage ratio of (A) 4.00 :1.00 or less for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 and for fiscal quarters ending thereafter through December 31, 2023 and (B) 3.75 :1.00 or less for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2024 and thereafter, (iii) reset the $250.0 million fixed dollar basket with respect to the accordion feature and (iv) modify certain negative covenants to provide additional operational flexibility.

Real estate loans
In August 2020, we completed the purchase of our global headquarters facility. As part of the purchase price, we assumed the seller’s obligations under two senior secured notes with a then-aggregate outstanding principal amount of $61.1 million (collectively, the “Real Estate Loans”). At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the Real Estate Loans.
Other debt
From time to time, we enter into third-party financing agreements for purchases of software and related services for our internal use. Generally, the agreements are non-interest-bearing notes requiring annual payments. Interest associated with the notes is imputed at the rate we would incur for amounts borrowed under our then-existing credit facility at the inception of the notes.
The following table summarizes our currently effective financing agreements as of March 31, 2022:

Cash flow hedges
We generally use derivative instruments to manage our variable interest rate risk. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements, which effectively convert portions of our variable rate debt under the 2020 Credit Facility to a fixed rate for the term of the swap agreements. We designated each of the interest rate swap agreements as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contracts.
The terms and notional values of our derivative instruments were as follows as of March 31, 2022:

Our policy requires that derivatives used for hedging purposes be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains or losses from the change in fair value measurement of our derivative instruments each reporting period and the related income tax expense or benefit. Changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments and the related income tax expense or benefit are reflected as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the actual hedged expense is incurred or until the hedge is terminated at which point the unrealized gain (loss) is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to current earnings. The estimated accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2022 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is $5.7 million. There were no

Other commitments
The term loans under the 2020 Credit Facility require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the 2020 Credit Facility in October 2025. The Real Estate Loans also require periodic principal payments and the balance of the Real Estate Loans are due upon maturity in April 2038.
We have contractual obligations for third-party technology used in our solutions and for other services we purchase as part of our normal operations. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment by us. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining aggregate minimum purchase commitment under these arrangements was approximately $31.7 million through 2025.
First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | | 15 | ||||||
Solution and service indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we provide certain indemnifications of varying scope to customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our solutions or services. If we determine that it is probable that a loss has been incurred related to solution or service indemnifications, any such loss that could be reasonably estimated would be recognized. We have not identified any losses and, accordingly, we have not recorded a liability related to these indemnifications.
Legal proceedings
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, as well as certain other non-ordinary course proceedings, claims and inquiries, as described below. We make a provision for a loss contingency when it is both probable that a material liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. For proceedings in which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable and an estimate of the loss or range of losses arising from the proceeding can be made, we disclose such an estimate, if material. If such a loss or range of losses is not reasonably estimable, we disclose that fact. We review any such loss contingency provisions at least quarterly and adjust them to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. We recognize insurance recoveries, if any, when they are probable of receipt. All associated costs due to third-party service providers and consultants, including legal fees, are expensed as incurred.
Legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. However, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending or threatened against us and intend to defend ourselves vigorously against all claims asserted. It is possible that our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially negatively affected in any particular period by an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such legal proceedings.
Security incident
As previously disclosed, we are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of a ransomware attack against us in May 2020 in which a cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment (the "Security Incident"). Based on the nature of the Security Incident, our research and third party (including law enforcement) investigation, we have no reason to believe that any data went beyond the cybercriminal, was or will be misused, or will be disseminated or otherwise made available publicly. Our investigation into the Security Incident by our cybersecurity team and third-party forensic advisors remains ongoing.
As a result of the Security Incident, we are currently subject to certain legal proceedings, claims, inquiries and investigations, as discussed below, and could be the subject of additional legal proceedings, claims, inquires and investigations in the future that might result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, or other resolution. To limit our exposure to losses related to claims against us, including data breaches such as the Security Incident, we maintain $50 million of insurance above a $250 thousand deductible payable by us. As noted below, this coverage has reduced our financial exposure related to the Security Incident, and we will continue to seek recoveries under these insurance policies.
We recorded expenses and offsetting probable insurance recoveries related to the Security Incident as follows:
Three months ended March 31, | ||||||||
| (dollars in thousands) | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||
| Gross expense | $ | $ | ||||||

| Cumulative gross expense | $ | $ | ||||||
| Cumulative offsetting insurance recoveries | ( | ( | ||||||
| Cumulative net expense | $ | $ | ||||||
| Cumulative offsetting insurance recoveries paid | $ | ( | $ | ( | ||||
Due to the time required to submit and process such insurance claims, we have not yet received all of the accrued insurance recoveries. Recorded expenses consisted primarily of payments for legal fees related to governmental inquiries and investigations and customer constituent class actions. We present expenses and insurance recoveries related to the Security Incident in general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as operating activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows. Total costs related to the Security Incident that we expect will be recoverable exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage during the first quarter of 2022. We expect to continue to experience significant expenses related to our response to the Security Incident, resolution of legal proceedings, claims, inquiries and investigations discussed below, and our efforts to further enhance our security measures. For full year 2022, we currently expect net cash outlays of approximately $25.0 million to $35.0 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. In line with our policy as discussed above, legal fees are expensed as incurred.
Based on our analysis of the factors described above, we have not recorded a liability for a loss contingency related to the Security Incident as of March 31, 2022 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss.
Customer claims. To date, we have received approximately 260 specific requests for reimbursement of expenses ("Customer Reimbursement Requests") and approximately 400 reservations of the right to seek expense recovery in the future from customers or their attorneys in the U.S., U.K. and Canada related to the Security Incident (none of which have as yet been filed in court). Of the Customer Reimbursement Requests received to date, approximately 190 have been fully resolved and closed. In addition, insurance companies representing various customers’ interests through subrogation claims have contacted us. One insurance company has filed a subrogation claim in court. Customer and insurer subrogation claims generally seek reimbursement of their costs and expenses associated with notifying their own customers of the Security Incident and taking steps to assure that personal information has not been compromised as a result of the Security Incident. Our review of customer and subrogation claims includes analyzing individual customer contracts into which we have entered, the specific claims made and applicable law.
Customer constituent class actions. Presently, we are a defendant in 19 putative consumer class action cases [17 in U.S. federal courts (which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court) and 2 in Canadian courts] alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who purport to represent various classes of individual constituents of our customers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief.
Lawsuits that are putative class actions require a plaintiff to satisfy a number of procedural requirements before proceeding to trial. These requirements include, among others, demonstration to a court that the law proscribes in some manner our activities, the making of factual allegations sufficient to suggest that our activities exceeded the limits of the law and a determination by the court—known as class certification—that the law permits a group of individuals to pursue the case together as a class. If these procedural requirements are not met, the lawsuit cannot proceed as a class action and the plaintiff may lose the financial incentive to proceed with the case. Frequently, a court’s determination as to these procedural requirements is subject to appeal to a higher court. As a result of these uncertainties, we may be unable to determine the probability of loss until, or after, a court has finally determined that a plaintiff has satisfied the applicable class action procedural requirements.
First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | | 17 | ||||||
Furthermore, for putative class actions, it is often not possible to estimate the possible loss or a range of loss amounts, even where we have determined that a loss is reasonably possible. Generally, class actions involve a large number of people and raise complex legal and factual issues that result in uncertainty as to their outcome and, ultimately, making it difficult for us to estimate the amount of damages that a plaintiff might successfully prove. This analysis is further complicated by the fact that the plaintiffs lack contractual privity with us.
Governmental inquiries and investigations. To date, we have received a consolidated, multi-state Civil Investigative Demand issued on behalf of 49 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia and a separate Civil Investigative Demand from the office of the California Attorney General relating to the Security Incident. We also are subject to the following pending governmental actions:
•an investigation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission;
•a formal investigation by the SEC;
•an investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services;
•an investigation by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner; and
•an investigation by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
On September 28, 2021, the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom under the U.K Data Protection Act 2018 (the "ICO") notified us that it has closed its investigation of the Security Incident. Based on its investigation and having considered our actions before, during and after the Security Incident, the ICO issued our European subsidiary a reprimand in accordance with Article 58(2)(b) of the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation ("U.K. GDPR") due to our non-compliance, in the ICO's view, with the requirements set out in Article 32 of the U.K. GDPR regarding the processing of personal data. The ICO did not impose a penalty related to the Security Incident, nor did it impose any requirements for further action by us.
On September 24, 2021, we received notice from the Spanish Data Protection Authority that it has concluded its investigation of the Security Incident, pursuant to which our European subsidiary paid a penalty of €60,000 in relation to the alleged late notification of two Spanish data controllers regarding the Security Incident.
On January 15, 2021, we were notified by the Data Protection Commission of Ireland that it has concluded its investigation of the Security Incident without taking any action against us.
We continue to cooperate with all ongoing inquiries and investigations, which include various requests for documents, policies, narratives and communications, as well as requests to interview or depose various Company-related personnel. As noted above, each of these separate governmental inquiries and investigations could result in adverse judgements, settlements, fines, penalties, or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict, but could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Our income tax (benefit) provision and effective income tax rates, including the effects of period-specific events, were:

| Income tax (benefit) provision | $ | ( | $ | |||||
| Effective income tax rate | % | % | ||||||
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we have utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, Income Taxes—Interim Reporting, to calculate our interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. We believe that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as our full-year forecasted pre-tax income, relative to our forecasted permanent differences, has the potential to distort our estimated annual effective tax rate.
The decrease in our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily attributable to the impact of stock based compensation. The 2022 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by increased tax expense attributable to stock based compensation against pre-tax loss for the period.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
As of March 31, 2022, approximately $984 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 60 % of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
We applied the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and have excluded the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less (one-time services); and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed (transactional revenue).
Contract balances
Our contract assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were insignificant. Our opening and closing balances of deferred revenue were as follows:
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||
| Total deferred revenue | $ | $ | ||||||
The decrease in deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to a seasonal decrease in customer contract renewals. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals at or near the beginning of our third quarter. Generally, our lowest balance of deferred revenue during the year is at the end of our first quarter. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was approximately $152 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was insignificant.
Disaggregation of revenue
We sell our cloud solutions and related services in three primary geographical markets: to customers in the United States, to customers in the United Kingdom and to customers located in other countries. The following table presents our revenue by geographic area based on the address of our customers:

Serving the industry for more than four decades, we are a remote-first company headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, with operations in the United States, Australia, Canada, Costa Rica and the United Kingdom.
Our revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (i) charging for the use of our software solutions in cloud and hosted environments; (ii) providing payment and transactional services; (iii) providing software maintenance and support services; providing Impact-as-a-Service™ digital educational content; and (iv) providing professional services, including implementation, consulting, training, analytic and other services.
COVID-19 Impact
The economic impact of COVID-19 on the social good industry remains somewhat uncertain, although we are seeing signs of recovery in the industry. Our end markets continue to display resilience in the post-pandemic recovery with a digital-first mindset. In February, the Blackbaud Institute released its annual Charitable Giving Report, which reported that overall giving in 2021 grew 9% with the percent of giving done online up significantly from pre-pandemic levels and holding steady in the low-teens. Nearly 30% of those online donations are being made on a mobile device, which we see as a long-term positive as we equip organizations to process mobile donations and optimize mobile user interfaces. If our existing and prospective customers remain cautious in their purchase decisions, our operating environment may continue to be challenging. Notwithstanding these conditions, we remain focused on continuing to execute our four-point strategy and strengthening our leadership position.

1.Expand Total Addressable Market ("TAM")
In December 2021, we doubled our TAM when we acquired EVERFI, an industry leader in global social impact technology. Adding EVERFI advances our position as a leader in the rapidly evolving ESG and CSR spaces and offers cross-selling and upselling opportunities through complementary product offerings with YourCause® solutions. Our TAM now stands at over $20 billion, and we remain active in the evaluation of opportunities to further expand our addressable market through acquisitions and internal product development.
2.Lead with World Class Teams and Operations
This strategy expands upon our previous strategies to drive sales effectiveness and improve operating efficiency to include improving overall company performance as measured by the Rule of 40 (see discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). We recently welcomed two accomplished leaders to our team as we look to drive future innovation and customer delight, a Chief Product Officer, to oversee our global product portfolio and a Chief Information Security Officer, to oversee our global trust and security program including all elements of cybersecurity.
3.Delight Customers with Innovative Cloud Solutions
We are excited about the role Blackbaud is playing in developing innovative solutions for our customers to diversify the way they receive and process donations. Recently, we announced a new product integration in the U.S. between Blackbaud Merchant Services, our end-to-end payment processing solution, and PayPal allowing social good organizations to offer donors the option to checkout with PayPal or Venmo. Through this integration, Blackbaud customers will have access to a broader audience of donors with PayPal's more than 400 million active consumer accounts enabling a more satisfying giving experience to expand impact. We are also driving a differentiated giving experience through our partnership with Change, to provide Blackbaud's corporate customers an option to run charitable campaigns at point-of-sale like roundups after purchase, match customer donations and offer donation options in loyalty programs. Change is a good example of the ecosystem we are building through our Social Good Startup Program. Their platform is already making an impact in the mission-driven commerce space, including enabling a new frontier of giving with cryptocurrency. We also recently held our Product Update Briefings, a semi-annual event designed to share new product features and roadmaps. We provided updates on innovations in the pipeline for Raiser's Edge NXT, Financial Edge NXT, Grantmaking, Data Intelligence, Payment Services, Luminate Online and TeamRaiser, JustGiving, and SKY Developer, to name a few. New this year, we hosted an executive summary session that briefly highlighted our most important product enhancements and strategies, which can be accessed along with all the sessions by visiting our corporate website. Also, in just over a month, we are projecting our highest turnout ever at our developers' conference designed as a learning event that brings together all levels of developers and technology enthusiasts to share best practices, collaborate with Blackbaud product experts and build relationships with peers. We continue to drive significant growth in our non-Blackbaud developer ecosystem consisting of customers, consultants, partners and individual change agents.
4.Focus on Employees, Culture and ESG Initiatives
We recently announced that we achieved carbon neutrality for 2021. This is a goal we have been striving towards and our shift to a remote-first workforce enabled us to accelerate our timeline. Since 2019, Blackbaud has reduced its global real estate footprint by 50%, energy emissions to run office space by 63% and employee commute emissions by 75%. With a multi-pronged climate strategy, Blackbaud is focused on reducing emissions, using energy efficiently and investing in environmental projects for a more sustainable future. We will share more about our ESG strategy on our Corporate Social Responsibility website, which we expect to launch this quarter. Our mission driven culture has been in our DNA since inception and is very attractive in a competitive labor market. We continue to foster a diverse and inclusive environment focused on employee engagement and connectedness with our remote-first workforce strategy. For example, of our most recent hires, nearly 67% have come from historically under-represented groups. We have a significant role to play in driving advances in the social good space, and we are proud of the strong corporate culture we have built and continue to cultivate in today's environment.

Financial Summary
| Total revenue ($M) | Income from operations ($M) | |||||||
| YoY Growth (%) | YoY Growth (%) | |||||||
Total revenue increased by $37.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, driven largely by the following:
| + | Growth in recurring revenue primarily related to: •an increase in contractual recurring revenue of $27.7 million related to the performance of our cloud solutions, $24.1 million of which was attributable to EVERFI; partially offset by a decrease in maintenance revenue as customers migrate to our cloud solutions; and •an increase in transactional revenue of $10.2 million primarily due to an increase in online charitable giving, the continued shift toward virtual fundraising and, to a lesser extent, increased transactional volume as our customer's constituents have begun to return to in-person events. | ||||||||||
| + | Increase in one-time consulting revenue due primarily to our acquisition of EVERFI, largely offset by a decrease in implementation and customization services, in line with our multi-year strategic shift from a license-based and one-time services business model to a cloud subscription business model. Our cloud subscription offerings generally require less implementation and customization services. | ||||||||||
| - | Decrease in one-time analytics revenue as analytics are generally integrated in our cloud solutions | ||||||||||
24 | | First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | ||||||
Income from operations decreased by $12.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, driven largely by the following:
| + | Increase in total revenue, as described above | ||||||||||
| + | Decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million attributable to a change in the timing of our annual short-term incentive ("STI") equity award grants from the second quarter during 2020 to the first quarter beginning in 2021, which resulted in double-expense for STI awards during the first quarter of 2021 | ||||||||||
| - | Increase in compensation costs other than stock-based compensation of $23.7 million primarily due to increased employee headcount due to our acquisition of EVERFI | ||||||||||
| - | Increases in third-party contractor and hosting costs of $7.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, primarily attributable to our acquisition of EVERFI and, to a lesser extent, our continued migration of our cloud infrastructure to leading public cloud service providers and investments in security | ||||||||||
| - | Increase in Security Incident-related expenses, net of insurance, of $7.2 million. See "Security Incident update" below. | ||||||||||
| - | Increase in transaction-based costs of $5.1 million related to payment services integrated in our cloud solutions | ||||||||||
| - | Increase in amortization of intangible assets from business combinations of $3.6 million due to our acquisition of EVERFI | ||||||||||
| - | Increase in marketing costs of $2.1 million primarily due to our acquisition of EVERFI | ||||||||||
| - | Increase in corporate IT costs of $1.2 million primarily related to our acquisition of EVERFI and investments in security tools | ||||||||||
We are continuing to make critical investments in the business in areas such as digital marketing, engineering, security, customer success and our continued shift of cloud infrastructure to leading public cloud service providers. Our profitability through the first quarter reflects the addition of EVERFI and some of these incremental investments that were pushed from 2021 into 2022, particularly in areas where we are increasing headcount.
| Customer retention | ||||||||
Our recurring revenue contracts are generally for a term of three years at contract inception with one to three-year renewals thereafter. We anticipate a continued decrease in maintenance contract renewals as we transition our solution portfolio and maintenance customers from a perpetual license-based model to a cloud subscription delivery model. In the long term, we also anticipate an increase in recurring subscription contract renewals as we continue focusing on innovation, quality and the integration of our cloud solutions, which we believe will provide value-adding capabilities to better address our customers' needs. Due primarily to these factors, we believe a recurring revenue customer retention measure that combines recurring subscription, maintenance and service customer contracts provides a better representation of our customers' overall behavior. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, approximately 92% of our customers with recurring revenue contracts were retained. This customer retention rate is materially unchanged from our rate for the full year ended December 31, 2021 and reflects our efforts to rationalize our portfolio of solutions and migrate customers from legacy solutions towards our next generation solutions.

Balance sheet and cash flow
At March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were $33.8 million and the carrying amount of our debt under the 2020 Credit Facility was $922.0 million. Our net leverage ratio was 3.57 to 1.00.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated $24.5 million in cash from operations, had a net increase in borrowings of $25.6 million and had aggregate cash outlays of $16.9 million for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
Security Incident update
As discussed in Note 10 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, total costs related to the Security Incident that we expect will be recoverable exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage during the first quarter of 2022. Accordingly, we expect that the Security Incident will continue to negatively impact our GAAP profitability and GAAP cash flow for the foreseeable future (see discussion regarding our non-GAAP financial measures beginning on page 32). For full year 2022, we currently expect net cash outlays of approximately $25 million to $35 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. In line with our policy, legal fees, are expensed as incurred. We have not recorded a liability for a loss contingency related to the Security Incident as of March 31, 2022 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss.
| Results of Operations | ||
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
We have included the results of operations of EVERFI in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. We determined that the EVERFI acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements; therefore, separate presentation of revenue and earnings since the acquisition date is not required.

| Recurring | ||||||||||||||
| Revenue ($M) | Cost of revenue ($M) | Gross profit ($M) and gross margin (%) | ||||||||||||
| YoY Growth (%) | YoY Growth (%) | |||||||||||||
Recurring revenue is comprised of fees for the use of our subscription-based software solutions, which includes providing access to cloud solutions, hosting services, payment services, online training programs, subscription-based analytic services. Recurring revenue also includes fees from maintenance services for our on-premises solutions, services included in our renewable subscription contracts, retained and managed services contracts that we expect to have a term consistent with our cloud solution contracts, and variable transaction revenue associated with the use of our solutions.
26 | | First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | ||||||
Cost of recurring revenue is primarily comprised of compensation costs for customer support and production IT personnel, hosting and data center costs, third-party contractor expenses, third-party royalty and data expenses, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangible assets from business combinations, amortization of software development costs, transaction-based costs related to payments services including remittances of amounts due to third-parties and other costs incurred in providing support and recurring services to our customers.
Our customers continue to prefer cloud subscription offerings with integrated analytics, training and payment services. Recurring subscription contracts are typically for a term of three years at contract inception with one to three-year renewals thereafter. We intend to continue focusing on innovation, quality and integration of our cloud solutions, which we believe will drive future revenue growth.
Recurring revenue increased by $37.9 million, or 18.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, driven primarily by the following:
| + | Increase in contractual recurring revenue of $27.7 million related to the performance of our cloud solutions, $24.1 million of which was attributable to EVERFI; partially offset by a decrease in maintenance revenue as customers migrate to our cloud solutions | ||||||||||

One-time services and other revenue is comprised of fees for one-time consulting, analytic and onsite training services, fees for retained and managed services contracts that we do not expect to have a term consistent with our cloud solution contracts, revenue from the sale of our software sold under perpetual license arrangements, and third-party software referral fees.
Cost of one-time services and other is primarily comprised of compensation costs for professional services and onsite training personnel, other costs incurred in providing onsite customer training, third-party contractor expenses, data expense incurred to perform one-time analytic services, third-party software royalties, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and amortization of intangible assets from business combinations.
One-time services and other revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022 remained relatively consistent with the same period in 2021, and included the following activity:
| + | Increase in one-time consulting revenue of $1.0 million primarily attributable to EVERFI, largely offset by less revenue from implementation and customization services, in line with our multi-year strategic shift from a license-based and one-time services business model to a cloud subscription business model. Our cloud subscription offerings generally require less implementation and customization services. | ||||||||||
| - | Decrease in one-time analytics revenue of $0.8 million as analytics are generally integrated in our cloud solutions | ||||||||||
Cost of one-time services and other decreased by $3.3 million, or 22.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, driven primarily by the following:

Sales, marketing and customer success
Sales, marketing and customer success expense includes compensation costs, variable sales commissions, travel-related expenses, advertising and marketing materials, public relations costs, variable reseller commissions and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs.
We see a large market opportunity in the long-term and will continue to make investments to drive sales effectiveness. We have also implemented software tools to enhance our digital footprint and drive lead generation. The enhancements we are making in our go-to-market approach are expected to significantly reduce our average customer acquisition cost as well as the related payback period while increasing sales velocity.
Sales, marketing and customer success expense increased by $6.4 million, or 13.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by the following:
| + | Increase in compensation costs of $3.7 million primarily related to increased employee headcount due to our acquisition of EVERFI | ||||||||||
| + | Increase in advertising costs of $2.1 million primarily due to our acquisition of EVERFI | ||||||||||
Research and development
Research and development expense includes compensation costs for engineering and product management personnel, third-party contractor expenses, software development tools and other expenses related to developing new solutions or upgrading and enhancing existing solutions that do not qualify for capitalization, and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs.
We continue to make investments to delight our customers with innovative cloud solutions. Research and development expenses increased by $10.8 million or 36.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by the following:
| + | Increase in compensation costs of $8.4 million primarily related to increased employee headcount due to our acquisition of EVERFI, and to a lesser extent, our increased hiring of engineers | ||||||||||
| + | Increase in third-party contractor costs of $5.5 million, primarily due to our acquisition of EVERFI and, to a lesser extent, an increase in our use of third-party software developers | ||||||||||

that are required to be capitalized under GAAP, such as those for our cloud solutions, as well as development costs associated with acquired companies. Qualifying capitalized development costs associated with our cloud solutions are subsequently amortized to cost of subscriptions revenue over the related assets' estimated useful life, which generally range from three to seven years.
General and administrative
General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation costs for general corporate functions, including senior management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources and corporate development, third-party professional fees, insurance, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, acquisition-related expenses and other administrative expenses.
General and administrative expense increased by $13.2 million, or 43.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by the following:
| + | Increase in Security Incident-related expenses, net of insurance, of $7.2 million, consisting primarily of legal fees, as total costs related to the Security Incident that we expect will be recoverable exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage during the first quarter of 2022. | ||||||||||
| + | Increase in compensation costs of $4.6 million primarily related to increased employee headcount due to our acquisition of EVERFI | ||||||||||

Interest Expense
| Interest expense ($M) | ||||||||
| Percentages indicate expenses as a percentage of total revenue | ||||||||
The increase in interest expense in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the new borrowings used to finance our acquisition of EVERFI. We currently expect interest expense for the full year 2022 to be approximately $30 million to $33 million although our interest expense in connection with the variable rate portion of our outstanding debt could increase in a rising interest rate environment. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for more information regarding our derivative instruments, which we use to manage our variable interest rate risk.
Deferred Revenue
The table below compares the components of deferred revenue from our consolidated balance sheets:
| (dollars in millions) | March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | Change | ||||||||
Deferred revenue(1) | $ | 355.7 | $ | 378.7 | (6.1) | % | |||||
| Less: Long-term portion | 4.7 | 4.2 | 11.3 | % | |||||||
Current portion(1) | $ | 351.0 | $ | 374.5 | (6.3) | % | |||||
(1)The individual amounts for each year may not sum to deferred revenue or current portion of deferred revenue due to rounding.
To the extent that our customers are billed for our solutions and services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in deferred revenue. Our recurring revenue contracts are generally for a term of three years at contract inception, billed annually in advance, and non-cancelable. We have been for several years successfully shifting our legacy customer base away from annual renewals and moving them onto multi-year renewal contracts. We generally invoice our customers with recurring revenue contracts in annual cycles 30 days prior to the end of each one-year period.
The decrease in deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to a seasonal decrease in customer contract renewals. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals at or near the beginning of our third quarter. Generally, our lowest balance of deferred revenue during the year is at the end of our first quarter.

Income Taxes
Income tax (benefit) provision ($M) | ||||||||
| Percentages indicate effective income tax rates | ||||||||
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we have utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, Income Taxes—Interim Reporting, to calculate its interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. We believe that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as our as our full-year forecasted pre-tax income, relative to our forecasted permanent differences, has the potential to distort our estimated annual effective tax rate.
The decrease in our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily attributable to the impact of stock based compensation. The 2022 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by increased tax expense attributable to stock based compensation against pre-tax loss for the period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The operating results analyzed below are presented on a non-GAAP basis. We use non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our operational performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. While we believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude the impact of certain transactions because we believe they are not directly related to our operating performance in any particular period, but are for our long-term benefit over multiple periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business.

Non-GAAP organic revenue growth
In addition, we use non-GAAP organic revenue growth, non-GAAP organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis and non-GAAP organic recurring revenue growth, in analyzing our operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, for evaluating the periodic growth of our business on a consistent basis. Each of these measures of non-GAAP organic revenue growth excludes incremental acquisition-related revenue attributable to companies acquired in the current fiscal year. For companies, if any, acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, each of these non-GAAP organic revenue growth measures reflects presentation of full year incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies as if they were combined throughout the prior period. In addition, each of these non-GAAP organic revenue growth measures excludes prior period revenue associated with divested businesses. The exclusion of the prior period revenue is to present the results of the divested businesses within the results of the combined company for the same period of time in both the prior and current periods. We believe this presentation provides a more comparable representation of our current business’ organic revenue growth and revenue run-rate.

Non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow
Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, including costs required to be capitalized for software development, and capital expenditures for property and equipment.
Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, including costs required to be capitalized for software development and capital expenditures for property and equipment, plus cash outflows, net of insurance, related to the Security Incident.
We believe non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow provides useful measures of the company's operating performance. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is not intended to represent and should not be viewed as the amount of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

Seasonality
Our revenues normally fluctuate as a result of certain seasonal variations in our business. Our first quarter has historically been the seasonal low for bookings, with the second and fourth quarters historically being seasonally higher, and our bookings tend to be back-end loaded within individual quarters given our quarterly quota plans. Transactional revenue is non-contractual and less predictable given the susceptibility to certain drivers such as timing and number of events and marketing campaigns, as well as fluctuations in donation volumes and tuition payments. Our transactional revenue has historically been at its lowest in the first quarter due to the timing of customer fundraising initiatives and events. We have historically experienced seasonal highs during the fourth quarter due to year-end giving campaigns and during the second quarter when a large number of events are held. Our revenue from professional services has historically been lower in the first quarter when many of those services commence and in the fourth quarter due to the holiday season. As a result of these and other factors, our total revenue has historically been lower in the first quarter than in the remainder of our fiscal year, with the fourth quarter historically achieving the highest total revenue. Our expenses, other than transaction-based costs related to our payments services, do not vary significantly as a result of these factors, but do fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to varying timing of expenditures.
Our cash flow from operations normally fluctuates quarterly due to the combination of the timing of customer contract renewals including renewals associated with customers of acquired companies, delivery of professional services and occurrence of customer events, as well as merit-based salary increases, among other factors. Historically, due to lower revenues in our first quarter, combined with the payment of certain annual vendor contracts, our cash flow from operations has been lowest in our first quarter. Due to the timing of customer contract renewals and student enrollments, many of which take place at or near the beginning of our third quarter, our cash flow from operations has been lower in our second quarter as compared to our third and fourth quarters. Partially, offsetting these favorable drivers of cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters are base salary merit increases, which occur in July. In addition, deferred revenues can vary on a seasonal basis due to the timing of customer contract renewals and student enrollments. Our cash flow from financing is negatively impacted in our first quarter when most of our equity awards vest, as we pay taxes on behalf of our employees related to the settlement or exercise of equity awards. These patterns may change as a result of the continued shift to online giving, growth in volume of transactions for which we process payments, or as a result of acquisitions, new market opportunities, new solution introductions, the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our operating cash flow, funds available under the 2020 Credit Facility and cash on hand. Our operating cash flow depends on continued customer renewal of our subscription and maintenance arrangements, market acceptance of our solutions and services and our customers' ability to pay. Based on current estimates of revenue and expenses, we believe that the currently available sources of funds 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 meet our debt obligations. We also believe that we will be able to continue to meet our long-term cash requirements due to our anticipated cash flow from operations, solid financial position and ability to access capital from financial markets. To the extent we undertake future material acquisitions or, investments or unanticipated capital or operating expenditures, including in connection with the Security Incident, we may require additional capital. In that context, we regularly evaluate opportunities to enhance our capital structure, including through potential debt or equity issuances.
As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the SEC on January 14, 2022. Under this universal shelf registration statement we may offer and sell, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units. Subject to certain conditions, this registration statement will be effective through January 13, 2024.
At March 31, 2022, our total cash and cash equivalents balance included approximately $18.4 million of cash that was held by operations outside the U.S. While these funds may not be needed to fund our U.S. operations for at least the next twelve months, if we need these funds, we may be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate the funds. We currently do not intend nor anticipate a need to repatriate our cash held outside the U.S.
Operating Cash Flow
Our cash flows from operations are derived principally from: (i) our earnings from on-going operations prior to non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount and adjustments to our provision for credit losses and sales returns; and (ii) changes in our working capital.
First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | | 37 | ||||||
Working capital changes are composed of changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and deferred revenue.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a $13.8 million decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash expenses and a $8.2 million increase in cash flow from operations associated with working capital.
The increase in cash flow from operations associated with working capital during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to:
•fluctuations in the timing of vendor payments; and
•an increase in taxes payable; partially offset by
•payment of assumed EVERFI accrued bonuses and other payroll-related liabilities during the first quarter of 2022.
Security Incident update
As discussed in Note 10 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, total costs related to the Security Incident that we expect will be recoverable exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage during the first quarter of 2022. Accordingly, we expect that the Security Incident will continue to negatively impact our GAAP profitability and GAAP cash flow for the foreseeable future (see discussion regarding our non-GAAP financial measures beginning on page 32). For full year 2022, we currently expect net cash outlays of approximately $25 million to $35 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. In line with our policy, legal fees, are expensed as incurred. We have not recorded a liability for a loss contingency related to the Security Incident as of March 31, 2022 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss.
Investing Cash Flow
Net cash used in investing activities of $36.9 million increased by $24.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used $20.0 million for our acquisition of EVERFI comprised of (i) $17.4 million that had not been paid by EVERFI to its former option holders as of December 31, 2021, solely due to the timing of the acquisition on the last day of 2021; and (ii) $2.6 million that was paid to a number of EVERFI's selling shareholders after determining they would be paid in cash, rather than shares of our common stock.
We used $12.7 million for software development costs, which was up $3.4 million from cash spent during the same period in 2021, primarily due to the inclusion of EVERFI's software and content development activities. We also spent $4.3 million of cash for purchases of property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was a decrease of $0.8 million when compared to the same period in 2021.
Financing Cash Flow
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net increase in borrowings of $25.6 million.
We paid $34.7 million to satisfy tax obligations of employees upon settlement of equity awards during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $18.4 million during the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the timing of our annual short-term incentive (bonus) awards vesting during the first quarter of 2022, while similar awards vested during the second quarter of 2021. The amount of taxes paid by us on behalf of employees related to the settlement of equity awards varies from period to period based upon the timing of grants and vesting, as well as the market price for shares of our common stock at the time of settlement. Most of our equity awards currently vest in our first quarter.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash flow from financing activities associated with changes in restricted cash due to customers decreased $315.3 million, compared to a decrease of $353.6 million during the same period in 2021. This line in the statement of cash flows represents the change in the amount of restricted cash held and payable by us to customers from one period to the next.

Stock repurchase program
In December 2021, our Board of Directors reauthorized and replenished our stock repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $250.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date. Under the stock repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws both on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not purchase any shares. The remaining amount available to purchase stock under the stock repurchase program was $250.0 million as of March 31, 2022.
2020 Credit Facility
Historically, we have drawn on our credit facility from time to time to help us meet financial needs, primarily due to the seasonality of our cash flows from operations and financing for business acquisitions. At March 31, 2022, our available borrowing capacity under the 2020 Credit Facility was $209.7 million. The 2020 Credit Facility matures in October 2025.
At March 31, 2022, the carrying amount of our debt under the 2020 Credit Facility was $922.0 million. Our average daily borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $909.4 million.
The following is a summary of the financial covenants under the 2020 Credit Facility:
| Financial covenant | Requirement | Ratio as of March 31, 2022 | ||||||
Net leverage ratio(1) | ≤ 4.25 to 1.00 | 3.57 to 1.00 | ||||||
| Interest coverage ratio | ≥ 2.50 to 1.00 | 14.59 to 1.00 | ||||||
(1)Under the terms of the 2020 Credit Facility, the Net Leverage Ratio requirement may be increased by up to 0.50 provided we satisfy certain requirements, including a permitted business acquisition, and provided that the maximum Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 4.25 to 1.00.
Under the 2020 Credit Facility, we also have restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. In order to pay any cash dividends and/or repurchase shares of stock: (i) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the 2020 Credit Facility, and (ii) our pro forma net leverage ratio, as set forth in the 2020 Credit Facility, must be 0.25 less than the net leverage ratio requirement at the time of dividend declaration or share repurchase. At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the 2020 Credit Facility. See Note 8 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding the 2020 Credit Facility.

Debt
As of March 31, 2022, we had total remaining principal payments of $985.7 million. These payments represent principal payments only, under the following assumptions: (i) that the amounts outstanding under the 2020 Credit Facility, our real estate loans and our other debt at March 31, 2022 will remain outstanding until maturity, with minimum payments occurring as currently scheduled, and (ii) that there are no assumed future borrowings on the 2020 Revolving Facility for the purposes of determining minimum commitment amounts. See Note 8 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for more information.
Interest payments on debt
In addition to principal payments, as of March 31, 2022, we expect to pay interest expense over the life of our debt obligations of approximately $131.9 million. These payments represent our estimated future interest payments on debt using our debt balances and the related weighted average effective interest rates as of March 31, 2022, which includes the effect of interest rate swap agreements. The actual interest expense recognized in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income will depend on the amount of debt, the length of time the debt is outstanding and the interest rate, which could be different from our assumptions on our remaining principal payments described above.
Operating leases
As of March 31, 2022, we had remaining operating lease payments of $72.3 million. These payments have not been reduced by sublease income, incentive payments, reimbursement of leasehold improvements or the amount representing imputed interest of $12.6 million. Our operating leases are generally for corporate offices, subleased offices and certain equipment and furniture. Given our remote-first workforce strategy and real estate footprint optimization efforts, as discussed above, we do not anticipate entering any new, material operating leases for offices for the foreseeable future. See Note 10 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for more information.
Purchase obligations
As of March 31, 2022, we had remaining purchase obligations of $31.7 million. These purchase obligations are for third-party technology used in our solutions and for other services we purchase as part of our normal operations. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment by us. Our purchase obligations are not recorded as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022, as we had not received the related services. See Note 10 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for more information.
The total liability for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Our accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns was insignificant as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
40 | | First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | ||||||
| Foreign Currency Exchange Rates | ||
Approximately 17% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was generated from operations outside the U.S. 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 rate 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 within accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity, was a loss of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and a gain of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2021.
The vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U.S. or U.K. entities. The contracts entered into by the U.S. entity are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars, and contracts entered into by our U.K., Australian and Irish subsidiaries are generally denominated in British Pounds, 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. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar strengthened, foreign currency translation resulted in a decrease in our revenue and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, foreign translation resulted in decreases in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Though we have exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, primarily those between the U.S. dollar and both the British Pound and Canadian dollar, the impact has generally not been material to our consolidated results of operations or financial position. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates reduced our total revenue and our income from operations by $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. We will continue monitoring such exposure and take action as appropriate. To determine the impacts on revenue (or income from operations) from fluctuations in currency exchange rates, current period revenues (or income from operations) from entities reporting in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year period's weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These impacts are non-GAAP financial information and are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
| Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates | ||
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have market rate sensitivity for interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
| Interest Rate Risk | ||
Our variable rate debt is our primary financial instrument with market risk exposure for changing interest rates. We manage our variable rate interest rate risk through a combination of short-term and long-term borrowings and the use of derivative instruments entered into for hedging purposes. Our interest rate exposure includes LIBOR and SOFR rates. The Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. has stated that it plans to phase out all tenors of LIBOR by June 2023. We do not currently anticipate a significant impact to our financial position or results of operations as a result of this action as we expect that our financial contracts currently indexed to LIBOR will either expire or be modified without significant financial impact before the phase out occurs. Due to the nature of our debt, the materiality of the fair values of the derivative instruments and the highly liquid, short-term nature and level of our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022, we believe that the risk of exposure to changing interest rates for those positions is immaterial. There were no significant changes in how we manage interest rate risk between December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022.
| Foreign Currency Risk | ||
For a discussion of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” in this report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
| Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures | ||
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities 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 (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). 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 | ||
Although we do not believe it materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, our evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 excluded EVERFI as permitted by the guidance issued by the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (not to extend more than one year beyond the date of the acquisition or for more than one annual reporting period). The acquisition of EVERFI was completed on December 31, 2021. As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, EVERFI's assets represented approximately 3% of our consolidated total assets and its revenue represented approximately 10% of our consolidated total revenue. We are working to integrate EVERFI into our overall internal control over financial reporting processes.
No changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 with respect to our operations, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are supplementing Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in that Annual Report.
| Operational Risks | ||
The Security Incident has had, and may continue to have numerous adverse effects on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
As previously disclosed, on July 16, 2020, we contacted certain customers to inform them about the Security Incident, including that in May 2020 we discovered and stopped a ransomware attack. Prior to our successfully preventing the cybercriminal from blocking our system access and fully encrypting files, and ultimately expelling them from our system with no significant disruption to our operations, the cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment. Although the nature of the incident, our research and third party (including law enforcement) investigation have provided no reason to believe that any data went beyond the cybercriminal, was or will be misused, or will be disseminated or otherwise made available publicly, our investigation into the Security Incident remains ongoing and may provide additional information.
To date, we have received approximately 260 Customer Reimbursement Requests and approximately 400 reservations of the right to seek expense recovery in the future from customers or their attorneys in the U.S., U.K. and Canada related to the Security Incident (none of which have as yet been filed in court). In addition, insurance companies representing various customers’ interests through subrogation claims have contacted us. Customer and insurer subrogation claims generally seek reimbursement of their costs and expenses associated with notifying their own customers of the Security Incident and taking steps to assure that personal information has not been compromised as a result of the Security Incident. In addition, presently, we are a defendant in 19 putative consumer class action cases [17 in U.S. federal courts (which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court) and 2 in Canadian courts] alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who generally purport to represent various classes of individual constituents of our customers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. To date, we also have received a consolidated, multi-state Civil Investigative Demand issued on behalf of 49 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia and a separate Civil Investigative Demand from the office of the California Attorney General relating to the Security Incident. In addition, we are subject to pending governmental actions or investigations by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the SEC, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. (See Note 10 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a more detailed description of the Security Incident and related matters.)
First Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q | | 43 | ||||||
We may be named as a party in additional lawsuits, other claims may be asserted by or on behalf of our customers or their constituents, and we may be subject to additional governmental inquires, requests or investigations. Responding to and resolving these current and any future lawsuits, claims and/or investigations could result in material remedial and other expenses that will not be covered by insurance. Governmental authorities also may seek to impose undertakings, injunctive relief, consent decrees, or other civil or criminal penalties, which could, among other things, materially increase our data security costs or otherwise require us to alter how we operate our business. Although we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the claims asserted against us, we cannot predict the potential outcomes, cost and expenses associated with current and any future claims, lawsuits, inquiries and investigations.
In addition, any legislative or regulatory changes adopted in reaction to the Security Incident or other companies’ data breaches could require us to make modifications to the operation of our business that could have an adverse effect and/or increase or accelerate our compliance costs.
Significant management time and Company resources have been, and are expected to continue to be, devoted to the Security Incident. For example, we currently expect net cash outlays of $25 million to $35 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident for full year 2022. Although we carry insurance against certain losses related to the Security Incident, we exceeded the limit of that insurance coverage during the first quarter of 2022. As a result, we will be responsible for all expenses or other losses (including penalties, fines or other judgments) or all types of claims that may arise in connection with the Security Incident, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. (See Note 10 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.) If any such fines or penalties were great enough that we could not pay them through funds generated from operating activities and/or cause a default under our credit facility, we may be forced to renegotiate or obtain a waiver under our credit facility and/or seek additional debt or equity financing. Such renegotiation or financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. In these circumstances, if we were unable to obtain sufficient financing, we may not be able to meet our obligations as they come due.
In addition, publicity or developments related to the Security Incident could in the future have a range of other adverse effects on our business or prospects, including causing or contributing to loss of customer confidence, reduced customer demand, reduced customer retention, strategic growth opportunities, and associated retention and recruiting difficulties, some or all of which could be material.
