KFORCE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unless otherwise noted below, there have been no material changes to the accounting policies presented in Note 1 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although Kforcemanagement believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from our audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019, as presented in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billing days in a particular quarter, the seasonality of our clients’ businesses and increased holiday and vacation days taken. In addition, we typically experience an increase inhigher costs in the first quarter of each fiscal year as a result of certain U.S. state and federal employment tax resets, which negatively impactsadversely affects our gross profit and overall profitability. The results of operations for any interim period may be impacted by these factors, among others, and are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References in this document to “Kforce,” the “Company,” “we,” the “Firm,” “management,” “our” or “us” refer to Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.
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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical of these estimates and assumptions relate to the following: allowance for credit losses; variable consideration for revenue recognition; income taxes; self-insured liabilities for health insurance and workers’ compensation and health insurance;compensation; obligations for the pension plan; variable consideration for revenue recognition; and any asset impairments. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.
Health Insurance
Except for certain fully insured health insurance lines of coverage, Kforce retains the risk of loss per participant for each health insurance claim up to $600 thousand in claims annually. Additionally, for all claim amounts exceeding $600 thousand, Kforce retains the risk of loss up to an aggregate annual loss of those claims of $200 thousand. For its partially self-insured lines of coverage, health insurance costs are accrued using estimates to approximate the liability for reported claims and incurred but not reported claims, which are primarily based upon an evaluation of historical claims experience, actuarially-determined completion factors and a qualitative review of our health insurance exposure including the extent of outstanding claims and expected changes in health insurance costs.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) during the period. WASO excludes unvested shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by diluted WASO. Diluted WASO includes the dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities such as unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method, except where the effect of including potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Table of Contents
For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, and 2019, 307288 thousand and 503298 thousand common stock equivalents were included in the diluted WASO, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, 557 thousand and 538 thousand common stock equivalents were included in the diluted WASO, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, there were 332352 thousand and 3346 thousand anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were insignificant anti-dilutive common stock equivalents.
New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, and has since issued subsequent updates to the initial guidance. The amended guidance requires the application of a current expected credit loss model, a new impairment model, which measures expected credit losses based on relevant information, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2020, as required. Refer to Note E - “Allowance for Credit Losses” additional accounting policy and transition disclosures related to our allowance for credit losses.
In March 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR and are affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Entities may adopt the provisions of the new standard as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made between March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We adopted this optional standard effective January 1, 2020 using the prospective method, and utilized the optional expedients for cash flow hedges to assume that a hedged forecasted transaction is probable of occurring and that the reference rate will not be replaced for the remainder of a hedging relationship.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding changes to the disclosure requirement for defined benefit plans including additions and deletions to certain disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans. The guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2020 with the retrospective method required for all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures, but we do not expect this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Note B - Discontinued Operations
During 2019, management completed the sale of our Government Solutions (“GS”) segment as a result of the Firm’s decision to focus solely on the commercial technical and professional staffing services and solutions space. The GS segment consisted of Kforce Government Solutions, Inc. (“KGS”), our federal government solutions business, and TraumaFX® Solutions, Inc. (“TFX”), our federal government product business. The results of operations for both KGS and TFX have been reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all prior periods presented.

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell KGS and recorded an increase of $18.5 million to deferred tax assets and income tax benefit since it became apparent that the temporary difference for the excess of the outside tax basis in the equity of KGS over the amount of the inside basis in the assets of KGS would reverse in the foreseeable future. This deferred tax asset of $18.5 million was utilized and recorded as income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2019 when the divestiture was completed.

Note E - Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses on trade receivables is determined based on a number of factors such as recent and historical write-off and delinquency trends, a specific analysis of significant receivable balances that are past due, the concentration of trade receivables among clients and the current state of the U.S. economy. As part of our analysis, we apply credit loss rates to outstanding receivables by aging category. For certain clients, we perform a quarterly credit review, which considers the client’s credit rating and financial position as well as our total credit loss exposure. Trade receivables are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received and are immaterial for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.
The following table presents the activity within the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

(1) As a result of the adoption of the new credit losses accounting standard, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase the allowance for credit losses of $0.3 million as of January 1, 2020.

The allowances on trade receivables presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include $0.4 million and $0.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for reserves unrelated to credit losses.
Management considered the ongoing COVID-19 economic and health crisis and its impact on our clients’ ability to pay outstanding receivables. We analyzed receivables concentrated within specific industries considered to be most significantly impacted, reviewed specific clients with credit ratings that were in a higher risk category and applied higher credit loss rates in order to estimate our potential credit loss exposure, which resulted in an increase to our allowance for credit losses during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.

Note M - Commitments and Contingencies
Employment Agreements
Kforce has employment agreements with certain executives that provide for minimum compensation, salary and continuation of certain benefits for a six-month to a three-year period after their employment ends under certain circumstances. Certain of the agreements also provide for a severance payment ranging from one to three times annual salary and one-half to three times average annual bonus if such an agreement is terminated without good cause by Kforce or for good reason by the executive subject to certain post-employment restrictive covenants. At March 31,June 30, 2020, our liability would be approximately $39.7 million if, following a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated without good cause by the employer or if the executives resigned for good reason and $16.8 million if, in the absence of a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated by Kforce without good cause or if the executives resigned for good reason.
Litigation and Loss Contingencies
ThereUnless otherwise noted below, there have been no material developments with regard to any of the legal proceedings previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On August 23, 2019, Kforce Inc. was served with a complaint, as amended, which was brought in the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division. Maurcus Smith, Alvin Hodge and David Kortright, et al. v. Kforce Inc., Case No.: 8:19-cv-02068-CEH-CPT. The plaintiffs’ allegations on behalf of themselves and a putative class of consumers/applicants who were the subject of consumer reports used for employment purposes, include alleged violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, (“FCRA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. based upon the defendant’s alleged failure to provide stand-alone FCRA disclosures and obtain valid authorizations. The plaintiffs seek statutory damages, punitive damages, costs, attorney’s fees and other relief under the FCRA. On February 10, 2020, the parties reached a preliminary settlement, which was subject to approval by the Court. On June 18, 2020, the parties appeared before the Court for the hearing on the preliminary approval of the settlement. The Court verbally approved the settlement, and ordered the parties to submit a written order for rendering. Such order was submitted to the Court, and the parties are waiting for entry. We believe that this matter is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
We are involved in legal proceedings, claims and administrative matters, and may also be exposed to loss contingencies, that arise in the ordinary course of business. We have made accruals with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, thatwhich are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements butstatements. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined and any amounts accrued are inherently uncertain estimates, we currently do not expect that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, considered material.will have a material effect on our financial position.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The following is an executive summary of what Kforce believes are highlights as of and for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, which should be considered in the context of the additional discussions herein and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 increased 2.6% (1.0% on a billing day basis)1.9% to $335.2$678.2 million from $326.7 million in the comparable period in 2019. We began to experience negative impacts to our operating trends as a result of the COVID-19 economic and health crisis in March 2020, most notably within FA Flex and Direct Hire.
Flex revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased 3.5% (1.9% on a billing day basis) to $326.1 million from $315.0 million in the comparable period in 2019. Flex revenue increased 4.9% (3.3% on a billing day basis) for Tech and decreased 1.9% (3.4% on a billing day basis) for FA.
Direct Hire revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased 22.6% to $9.1 million from $11.8$665.6 million in the comparable period in 2019.
Flex gross profit marginrevenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 3.5% to $662.5 million from $640.3 million in the comparable period in 2019. Flex revenue increased 0.9% and 13.5% for Tech and FA, respectively. We secured two large contracts to support government-sponsored COVID-19 related initiatives (the “COVID-19 Business”) that benefited FA Flex with $35.1 million in revenue for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.
Direct Hire revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 40 basis pointsdecreased 37.8% to 26.2%$15.7 million from 25.8%$25.3 million in the comparable period in 2019, asprimarily driven by a result of a more favorable payroll tax environmentsignificant decline in the first quartervolume of 2020.placements due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic environment.
Flex gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 20 basis points to 26.6% from 26.4% in the comparable period in 2019. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, Flex gross profit increased 70 basis points for Tech and decreased 80160 basis points for FA. The COVID-19 Business negatively impacted FA Flex gross profit margin.
SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 decreased to 23.6% from 24.4%23.7% in the comparable period in 2019 as a result of improved associate productivity, reduced annual performance-based compensation expectations given the COVID-19 economic and health crisis and reduced discretionary spend such as travel and other office-related expenses.2019.
Income from continuing operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 increased 14.2%decreased 21.0% to $9.1$19.0 million, or $0.42$0.89 per share, from $8.0$24.1 million, or $0.32$0.97 per share, in the comparable period in 2019. The increase in diluted EPS was partially driven by significant open market common stock repurchases in 2019.
In March 2020, Kforce entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement with a fixed interest rate of 0.61% (which is added to the applicable margin under our credit facility), resulting in an increase in the notional amount of our interest rate swaps of $35.0 million, for a total of $100.0 million. We executed this swap in order to take advantage of historically low interest rates and reduce liquidity risk as we navigateat the onset of the COVID-19 economic and health crisis.
The Firm returned $24.6$37.9 million of capital to our shareholders with a quarterly dividend of $4.3$8.5 million ($0.200.40 per share) and open market common stock repurchases of $20.3$29.4 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. In March 2020, the Board approved an increase in our stock repurchase authorization to an aggregate of $100.0 million.
Cash provided by operating activities was $3.0$39.0 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 compared to $11.8$22.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview
Kforce provides professional staffing services and solutions to our clients on both a temporary (“Flex”) and permanent (“Direct Hire”) basis through our Tech and FA segments. We operate through our corporate headquarters in Tampa, Florida with 50over 40 field offices located throughout the United States. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, Kforce employed over 2,200approximately 2,100 associates and we had over 10,000approximately 11,800 consultants on assignment.assignment (of which approximately 3,000 of these consultants were on assignment supporting the COVID-19 Business). Kforce serves clients across many industries and geographies as well as organizations of all sizes, with a particular focus on Fortune 1000 and other large companies. We believe that our portfolio of service offerings is a key contributor to our long-term financial stability.
During 2020, the U.S. and global macro-economic environments have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 economic and health crisis. CertainFrom an economic standpoint, temporary employment figures and trends have historically been important indicators of staffing demand. These figures and trends have fluctuated significantly in the first half of 2020 based on data we follow that is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Staffing Industry Analysts (“SIA”) such asand substantial uncertainty still remains around the future trends and impact on staffing demand. The penetration rate (the percentage of temporary staffing to total employment) and unemployment rate which were 1.9%1.6% and 4.4%11.1%, respectively, in MarchJune 2020, is expectedwhich will likely continue to change materiallyfluctuate significantly in the near-term as this economic and health crisis unfolds. Throughevolves. A report published by SIA in July 2020 indicates that the week ending April 25, 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor reported 3.8 million additional claimstechnology temporary staffing industry and finance and accounting temporary staffing industry are estimated to decline by 10% and 17%, respectively, for unemployment bringing the total over a six-week period to more than 30 million.2020.
Certain sectors of the U.S. economy have been more acutely impacted by the COVID-19 economic and health crisis, such as the hospitality, transportation, retail, entertainment, health services and manufacturing sectors, though very few sectors appear to be immune. Kforce generates revenue within each of thesethe aforementioned sectors of the U.S. economy, although the composition of our revenue by sectorindustry is, by intent, diversified. Our top three industries served include financial services, business services and telecommunications.

TowardsDuring the end of the first quarter and intothrough the second quarter, the U.S. economy increasingly began to feelsuffered the negative impactsadverse effects of the COVID-19 economic and health crisis. Accordingly, we have been workingand will continue to work closely with our clients to assist them in navigating these turbulent waters. These discussions for certain clientstimes. In some cases, this resulted in the reduction or elimination of consultants on previous projects and assignments, reducing bill rates, granting extended payment terms, and/or temporary furloughs for consultants, among other impacts. We have also experienced a decrease in our leading indicators, such as job orders for both Flex assignments and Direct Hire placements. However, we believe Kforce has been successful thus far in mitigating the adverse effects due to the concentration of our revenues in technology (roughly 75% in the second quarter of 2020) and having a diversified client portfolio serving many industries with no undue concentration in any single industry, among other factors. Our client relationships and capability to source and deliver resources at scale has significantly contributed to us securing the COVID-19 Business to assist the U.S. economy during this crisis in areas such as customer service, loan processing and administration. This new assignment demandbusiness contributed $35.1 million in FA Flex revenue during the second quarter and direct hire placements. Thisis expected to continue into the third quarter, although these contracts are likely shorter-term and non-recurring in nature. The business climate related to this economic and health crisis continues to beis extremely fluid, and there is significant uncertainty as to the extent and length of the potential negative impactimpacts on our business, clients, consultants and candidates. Thus, it is increasingly difficult to predict our near-term operating results.
Although we have seen some impactDespite certain adverse effects to our business from thisdue to the abrupt and unprecedented economic disruption, we believe our strategic decisions to focus our offerings in the U.S. domestic technology and professional staffing and solutions market, limit the concentration of Direct Hire revenue (now less(less than 3% of total revenue), and maintain a strong balance sheet providesprovide us great confidence moving forward. In addition, we have madebelieve our investments in recent years to implement new and upgrade existing technologies that we believe have increased our operating efficiencies and enabled us to be more responsive to our consultants and clients. Most of theseour technologies can be securely accessed remotely, which put us in a good position to seamlessly transition to operating our business remotely. We have conducted multiple employee satisfaction surveys during this pandemic and the results indicate that our associates have embraced the ingenuity required to work remotely and have been successful in establishing new routines, which may cause us to increasingly look to a fullmore flexible working environment in the future. Given the positive feedback from our associates during this work remote postureenvironment, we are taking the time to implement appropriate health and safety measures in March 2020.

While this work is anticipated to be temporary in nature, we expect it will partially offset some of the negative impacts over the near-term in our business.clients.

Flex Revenue. The key drivers of Flex revenue are the number of consultants on assignment, billable hours, the bill rate per hour and, to a limited extent, the amount of billable expenses incurred by Kforce.
Flex revenue for Tech decreased 3.0% and increased 0.9% during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, by 4.9% (3.3% on a billing day basis)respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. The decline in the second quarter was primarily driven by selective accelerated assignment ends by clients that were most significantly impacted early in the quarter by this economic and health crisis. While new assignment starts during the second quarter were well below levels experienced in the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to an increase inassignment ends slowed towards the end of the second quarter and were also significantly below prior year levels. Additionally, lower billable hours andin our Tech business were partially offset by higher average bill rates. Our trends to start the second quarter indicate that Flex revenues in technology are down approximately 1%rates, which increased 6.2% on a year-over-year basis in April.the second quarter of 2020, due to the demand for higher-skilled consultants. In September 2019July 2020, SIA projected that temporary technology staffing would experience growth of 3% in 2020, which was updated in April 2020 with a projected decline of 14%10% for 2020, and a resumptionslight improvement from the expected 14% decline as of 17% growth in 2021.April 2020. We believe that the current crisis has only strengthened the secular drivers of demand in technology as companies assess their digital transformation efforts and capabilities to conduct business in what may be a more virtually-biasedvirtual operating environment. As we look to the third quarter, Tech Flex revenue is down approximately 2% on a year-over-year basis in July, and we expect third quarter revenue may remain stable or slightly increase as compared to the second quarter.
Our FA segment experienced a decreasean increase in Flex revenue of 1.9% (3.4% on a billing day basis)28.7% and 13.5% during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periodperiods in 2019, which wasprimarily driven by a decreasethe COVID-19 Business, which contributed approximately $35.1 million in billable hoursrevenue during the second quarter. This positively impacted FA Flex revenue growth rates by 53.5% and was partially offset by a year-over-year increase in average bill rates of 4.7%. Our trends to start26.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Although these contracts positively impacted FA Flex during the second quarter indicate that Flex revenues in FAand are down approximately 20% on a year-over-year basis in April, which excludes the contribution to our FA Flex revenues of large-scale business we secured to support government-sponsored COVID-19 related initiatives. This recent business is expected to benefit secondthird quarter revenues in a range between $20of $45 million to $30 million.$55 million, they will likely be shorter-term and non-recurring in nature. In September 2019,July 2020, SIA projected that finance and accounting temporary staffing would experience growth of 4%decline 17% in 2020; however, this was updated2020, down from the 15% decline estimated in April 2020 with a projected decline2020. As we look to the third quarter, FA Flex revenue, including the COVID-19 Business, could increase approximately 17% as compared to the second quarter and nearly 50% as compared to the third quarter of 15% for 2020.2019.
Future forecasts and predictions about the demand for temporary staffing and solutions are inherently uncertain due to the unknown impacts of the macro-economic environment in which we are currently operating as a result of the COVID-19 economic and health crisis, and any forward-looking information could fluctuate materially.

Direct Hire Revenue. The key drivers of Direct Hire revenue are the number of placements and the associated placement fee. Direct Hire revenue also includes conversion revenue, which may occur when a consultant initially assigned to a client on a temporary basis is later converted to a permanent placement for a fee.
Direct Hire revenue decreased 22.6%51.1% and 37.8% during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periodperiods in 2019, primarily driven by a decrease in the number of placements made and a lower average placement fee. We experienced a significant decline in the volume of Direct Hire placements towards the end of the first quarter and expect a significant decline in revenue on a year-over-year basis in the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to the expected drop in demand for placements. Our trendsuncertain economic environment. As we look to start the third quarter, we expect Direct Hire revenue could remain at or near second quarter indicate that Direct Hire revenues are down approximately 55% on a year-over-year basis in April.levels.

Gross Profit. Gross profit is calculated by deducting direct costs (primarily consultant compensation, payroll taxes, payroll-related insurance and certain fringe benefits, as well as independent contractor costs) from total revenue. There are no consultant payroll costs associated with Direct Hire placements, thus all Direct Hire revenue increases gross profit by the full amount of the placement fee.

Tech Flex gross profit margin increased 70 basis points for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 as compared to the same periodperiods in 2019, primarily due to a more favorable payroll tax environment, improvement in the spread between bill and pay rates, and a reduction in the amount of billable expenses.

FA Flex gross profit marginsmargin decreased 80240 basis points and 160 basis points for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, as compared to the same periodperiods in 2019, primarily due to compression in bill and pay spreads and partially offsetspreads.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, SG&A as a percentage of revenue decreased 80increased 50 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to 2019. As experienced in other economic downturns, we are prioritizing the same periodretention of our most productive people, which is creating a degree of SG&A deleverage despite the decline in 2019.revenue-generating talent we have experienced. The decreaseincrease in Other SG&A was primarily driven by approximately $1.2 million in operating lease and other expenses related to certain office closures and certain additional costs from the new COVID-19 Business. These increases were partially offset by significantly reduced spending in areas such as travel and other office-related expenses due to the expense recorded incurrent economic and health crisis.
For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, SG&A as a percentage of revenue was fairly flat as compared to 2019, driven by a decrease in compensation costs offset by an increase in other costs. The decrease in compensation costs was driven by continued improvements in associate productivity. The increase in Other SG&A costs was driven by the items noted above as well as an increase in credit loss expense due to a higher estimated risk of default within our accounts receivable portfolio resulting from the current economic and health crisis. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, SG&A was adversely affected by approximately $2.0 million of expense due to actions taken as a result of the GS divestiture. Additionally, SG&A expenses benefited from further improvements in associate productivity, reduced annual performance-based compensation expectations given the current crisis and reduced discretionary spend such as travel and other office-related expenses. These benefits were partially offset by an increase in credit loss expense due to the expected increase in the risk of default in our accounts receivable portfolio due to the current crisis.
At the end of the first quarter of 2020, we began taking prudent cost containment measures, including temporarily suspending new hires, eliminating discretionary spend and selectively reducing spend in other areas. The Firm continues to focus on improving the productivity of our associates and willexpects to continue to exerciseexercising solid expense discipline, especially in light of the potential adverse impacts that could occur as a result of the macro-economic uncertainties related to the current economic and health crisis.

Although the impact of the COVID-19 economic and health crisis remains highly uncertain, it could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our equity method investment in WorkLLama; if the fair value falls below the book value of the equity method investment, we would be required to evaluate whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.
Income Tax Expense.

Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. During 2019, we sold the GS segment and reported it as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Free Cash Flow. “Free Cash Flow,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, less capital expenditures. Management believes this provides an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows and is useful information to investors as it provides a measure of the amount of cash generated from the business that can be used for strategic opportunities including investing in our business, making acquisitions, repurchasing common stock or paying dividends. Free Cash Flow is limited, however, because it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we believe it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a complement to (but not a replacement of) our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, Free Cash Flows includes results from discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA. “Adjusted EBITDA”, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as net income before income from discontinued operations, net of tax, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, net, income tax expense and loss from equity method investment. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our past and future financial performance, and this presentation should not be construed as an inference by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess our operations including our ability to generate cash flows and our ability to repay our debt obligations and management believes it provides a good metric of our core profitability in comparing our performance to our competitors, as well as our performance over different time periods. Consequently, management believes it is useful information to investors. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows or other financial statement information presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. The measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations. Also, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
In addition, although we excluded amortization of stock-based compensation expense because it is a non-cash expense, we expect to continue to incur stock-based compensation in the future and the associated stock issued may result in an increase in our outstanding shares of stock, which may result in the dilution of our shareholder ownership interest. We suggest that you evaluate these items and the potential risks of excluding such items when analyzing our financial position.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To meet our capital and liquidity requirements, we primarily rely on our operating cash flow as well as borrowings under our credit facility. At March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $31.8$52.4 million and $19.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively, which consisted primarily of government money market funds, and $100.0 million and $65.0 million outstanding under our credit facility, respectively. The amounts outstanding under our credit facility were hedged by interest rate swaps, as discussed below.
Heading into the COVID-19 induced economic and health crisis, weWe believe we were in a position of financial strength with abefore the onset of the economic and health crisis and expect to maintain this strength due to our strong balance sheet, healthy operating cash flows, low capital requirements and our $300.0 million credit facility. Nonetheless,Although we took a proactive measure in March 2020 to draw down $35.0 million under our credit facility (bringing the total outstanding balance to $100 million) and simultaneously fixed the incremental $35.0 million in debt under a new interest rate swap. We took this proactive action to take advantage of historically low interest rates and reduce potential risks of not being able to access the availability under our credit facility.
We expect that we will seecould experience declines in our revenue and, accordingly, in our profitability over the near term, as a result of the COVID-19 economic and health crisis. Ourwe believe our working capital, excluding cash, wasof roughly $150.0$140.0 million as of March 31,June 30, 2020, and, we believe, provides a reliable source of liquidity as we experience revenue declines. We assessliquidity. Based on our continued future liquidity based on a multi-year forecastassessments (using assumptions that we believe are sufficiently conservative) to validate that we can generate positive cash flows while continuing to invest in our business and seeking to maintain our quarterly cash dividend. Based on these forecasts and assumptions,, we continue to believe we are in a position of financial strength.strength and we expect to continue to generate positive cash flows while investing in our business and maintaining our quarterly cash dividend. As we navigate thisthe crisis evolves, we will continue to take any actions necessary to improve our liquidity and further fortify our cash position.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions for, among other things, deferment of the employer portion of social security tax payments, employee retention credits and technical amendments related to depreciation, which allows for retroactive 100% bonus depreciation on qualified improvement property. During the second quarter, we benefited from the deferral of social security tax payments, as described below, and expect to continue to benefit from the deferral of social security tax payments for the remainder of 2020. We are stillin the process of assessing all ofour benefit from the financialretroactive bonus depreciation and employee retention credits as well as other impacts of the CARES Act on our business, but expect that our cash flows will benefit significantly from several of the provisions.business.
Cash Flows
We are principally focused on achieving an appropriate balance of cash flow across several areas of opportunity such as: generating positive cash flow from operating activities; returning capital to our shareholders through our quarterly dividends and common stock repurchase program; maintaining appropriate leverage under our credit facility; investing in our infrastructure to allow sustainable growth via capital expenditures; selectively pursuing acquisition opportunities and maintaining sufficient liquidity for operations.

Our largest source of operating cash flows is the collection of trade receivables, and our largest use of operating cash flows is the payment of our associate and consultant compensation. The decrease isincrease was primarily driven by the deferral of certain tax payments, including $12.3 million related to the employer portion of social security taxes, which will be paid in 2021 and 2022 as prescribed by the CARES Act, as well as the deferral of our estimated quarterly federal tax payment, which will be paid in the third quarter. Additionally, we were able to negotiate extended payment terms for certain of our vendors. These positive impacts were partially offset by granting certain strategic clients a temporary extension in their payment terms. The COVID-19 Business negatively impacted our operating cash flows in the second quarter of 2020 as minimal cash was received due to delays in the timing of payments from our clients, whichthe projects, while we believe is partiallycontinued paying the start of the impacts from the COVID-19 economic and health crisis, as well as a decrease in cash provided by the GS segment due to the divestiture.consultants on assignment.
Cash used in investing activities was $2.0$2.7 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, as compared to $2.5cash provided by investing activities of $111.0 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, which includes capital expenditures. Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includes the receipt of proceeds from the sale of assets held within the Rabbi Trust as well as payments for capital invested in WorkLLama. Cash flows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes the net proceeds from the sale of assets held for sale as well as capital invested in WorkLLama. We expect to continue selectively investing in our infrastructure, primarily focusing on implementing new and upgrading existing technologies that will provide the most benefit.
Cash provided byused in financing activities was $10.9$3.7 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, as compared to $9.1$68.4 million of cash used in financing activities during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019. This was primarily driven by the aforementioned $35.0 million draw down fromon our credit facility during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, partially offset by an increasea decrease in cash used for repurchases of common stock. During the second quarter, we elected to pause our repurchase activity, and we will continue to reassess our share repurchase plan as the economic and health crisis evolves.

On January 31, 2020, Kforce’s Board approved an 11% increase to the Company's quarterly dividend from $0.18 per share to $0.20 per share. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, Kforce declared and paid quarterly dividends of $4.3$8.5 million ($0.200.40 per share) and $4.4$8.7 million ($0.180.36 per share), respectively. The declaration, payment and amount of future dividends are discretionary and will be subject to determination by our Board each quarter following its review of, among other things, the Firm’s current and expected financial performance as well as the ability to pay dividends under applicable law.
We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our credit facility will be adequate to meet the capital expenditure and working capital requirements of our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, a material deterioration in the economic environment or market conditions, among other things, could negatively impactadversely affect operating results and liquidity, as well as the ability of our lenders to fund borrowings. Actual results could also differ materially from these indicated as a result of a number of factors, including the use of currently available resources for capital expenditures, investments, additional common stock repurchases or dividends.
Credit Facility
On May 25, 2017, the Firm entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as lead arranger and bookrunner, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Regions Bank and BMO Harris Bank, N.A., as co-documentation agents, and the lenders referred to therein (the “Credit Facility”). The maturity date of the Credit Facility is May 25, 2022. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Firm, excluding the Firm’s corporate headquarters and certain other designated collateral. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, $100.0 million was outstanding and $197.9$197.8 million was available on our credit facility, subject to certain covenants, and as of December 31, 2019, $65.0 million was outstanding. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, we are in compliance with our credit facility covenants as described in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and currently expect that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants. However, we cannot predict the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations that could result in an event of default.

Stock Repurchases
In March 2020, the Board approved an increase in our stock repurchase authorization to an aggregate total of $100.0 million. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, Kforce repurchased approximately 0.71.0 million shares of common stock on the open market at a total cost of approximately $20.3$29.4 million and $93.6$84.5 million remained available for further repurchases under the Board-authorized common stock repurchase program at March 31,June 30, 2020. During the second quarter, we elected to pause our repurchase activity, and we will continue to reassess our share repurchase plan as the economic and health crisis evolves.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to our off-balance sheet arrangements previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Other than the changes described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q to our contractual obligations previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP.
Due to the COVID-19 economic and health crisis, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the U.S. and global macro-economic environments, which could impact the inputs and assumptions for our critical accounting estimates. We are not currently aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require updates to our estimates or judgments or require us to revise the carrying value of any assets or liabilities. However, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates and such differences could be material. Refer to Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.

Goodwill and Equity Method Investment Impairment
For our goodwill and equity method investment fair value estimates, the valuation methodologies employed are sensitive to critical estimates, which could be impacted by the COVID-19 economic and health crisis, including forecasted operating results and long-term growth rates, expectations for future economic cycles and market multiples. At this time, the impact of the crisis on our forecasts is uncertain and increases the subjectivity that will be involved in evaluating our goodwill and equity method investment for potential impairment going forward.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses on trade receivables is determined based on a number of factors such as recent and historical write-off and delinquency trends, a specific analysis of significant receivable balances that are past due, the concentration of trade receivables among clients and the current state of the U.S. economy. As part of our analysis, we apply credit loss rates to outstanding receivables by aging category. For certain clients, we perform a quarterly credit review, which considers the client’s credit rating and financial position as well as our total credit loss exposure. Trade receivables are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 economic and health crisis, we analyzed receivables concentrated within specific industries considered to be most significantly impacted, reviewed specific clients with credit ratings that were in a higher risk category and applied higher credit loss rates in order to estimate our potential credit loss exposure. At this time, the impact of the crisis on these estimates is uncertain and increases the subjectivity of our allowance for credit losses.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31,June 30, 2020, we carried out an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (the “Evaluation”) under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (“Disclosure Controls”). Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management has evaluated, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on the evaluation we conducted, management has concluded that no such changes have occurred.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
CEO and CFO Certifications
Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading, is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

More specifically, we have experienced, among other impacts, a reduction or elimination of consultants on previous projects and assignments, aselective reduction in bill rates, extended payment terms, and temporary furloughs for consultants. We have also experienced a decrease in our leading indicators, such as job orders new assignment demandfor flex assignments and direct hire placements due to hiring freezes.
Additionally, our employees, consultants and independent contractors may be, and have been, impacted by the occurrence of these types of events, or we may face difficulties in sourcing or onboarding these individuals, including slowdowns in critical processes such as interviewing, I-9 verification, background checks, or other compliance processes, which could impair our ability to serve our clients or respond timely to their needs.needs, or could expose us to compliance risk and/or penalties.
