6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
10


 
The Company’s valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3) of the fair value hierarchy are disclosed in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4—(3), Fair Value Measurement” of the 20162021 Annual Report. The Company has not changed the valuation techniques or inputs it uses for its fair value measurement during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022.
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
The Company’s restrictedCompany invests a portion of its cash and cash equivalents that serve as collateral for the Company’s outstanding letters of credit
typically consist ofin non-federally insured money market funds that are measured at fair value based on quoted prices, which are Level 1 inputs.


The Company has a deferred compensation plan for certain executives and employees, which is composed of deferred compensation and all related income and losses attributable thereto. The Company’s obligation under its deferred compensation plan is measured at fair value based on quoted market prices of the participants’ elected investments, which are Level 1 inputs.
The Company’s restricted cash equivalents and investments that serve as collateral for the Company’s captive insurance company primarily consist ofinclude commercial paper that is measured at observable market prices for identical securities that are traded in less active markets, which are Level 2 inputs. The Company’s cash equivalents also include commercial paper classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Of the $28,538$41,685 commercial paper issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017, $5,076March 31, 2022, none had original maturities greater than three months whichand were considered available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2016,2021, the Company had $25,610$80,596 commercial paper issued and outstanding, of which $11,152none had original maturities greater than three months and were considered available-for-sale securities.
The Company’s restricted cash equivalents and investments that serve as collateral for the Company’s captive insurance company also include corporate bonds that are measured using readily available pricing sources that utilize observable market data, including the current interest rate swap wasfor comparable instruments, which are Level 2 inputs. Of the $25,474 corporate bonds issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2022, $24,194 had original maturities greater than three months and were considered available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $29,159 corporate bonds issued and outstanding, of which $27,958 had original maturities greater than three months and were considered available-for-sale securities.
The Company’s contingent consideration liabilities associated with acquisitions are measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis that includes the contractual terms, including the period to maturity, and Level 2 observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value of the swap was determined by netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts were based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate yield curves. The valuation also considered credit risk adjustments that were necessary to reflect the probability of default by the counterparty or the Company, which were considered Level 3 inputs. On May 3, 2017, the Company terminated the remaining interest rate swap.
The Company’s contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value using probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis or a simulation-based methodology for the acquired companies, which are Level 3 inputs. The Company recognizes changes to the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. There were no contingent consideration liabilities outstanding as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment losses related to its goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets, and equity investments.
The Company evaluates goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur indicatingindicate that goodwill might be impaired.it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on a combination of inputs, including the market capitalization of the Company, as well as Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flows, which are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly. The Company determines the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the income approach (relief-from-royalty method) based on Level 3 inputs.
The Company’s equity investment represents an investment in a non-controlled corporation without a readily determinable market value. The Company has elected to measure the investment at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. The fair value is determined by using quoted prices for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, which are Level 2 inputs, and other information available to the Company such as the rights and obligations of the securities. The Company recognizes changes to the fair value of its equity investment in interest expense, net, and other in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The balance of the equity investment was $22,633 as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
There were no triggering events identified, and no indication of impairment of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets, or equity investments, and no impairment charges recorded during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016.2021.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company is no longer subject to state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2006,2011, and the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income or payroll tax examinations for tax years before 2011. The Company’s tax years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 had been under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for several years and in 2014, the IRS issued the Company its Revenue Agent Report (“RAR”) and an Employment Tax Examination Report (“ETER”). The RAR proposed adjustments to the Company’s taxable income for 2007-2010 and net operating loss carryforwards for 2005 and 2006, resulting from the proposed disallowance of certain per diems paid to the Company’s healthcare professionals, and the ETER proposed assessments for additional payroll tax liabilities and penalties for tax years 2009 and 2010 related to the Company’s treatment of certain non-taxable per diem allowances and travel benefits. The positions in the RAR and ETER were mutually exclusive, and contained multiple tax positions, some of which were contrary to each other. The Company filed a Protest Letter for both the RAR and ETER positions in 2014 and the Company received a final determination from the IRS in July 2015 on both the RAR adjustments and ETER assessments, effectively settling these audits with the IRS for $7,200 (including interest) during the third quarter of 2015. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded federal income tax benefits of approximately $12,200 during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, state income tax benefits (net of federal tax impact) of $568 for the year ended December 31, 2016, and expects to record state income tax benefits (net of federal tax impact) of approximately $1,200 by fiscal year 2019, when the various state statutes are projected to lapse.2018.


The IRS conducted and completed a separate audit of the Company’s 2011 and 2012 tax years that focused on income and employment tax issues similar to those raised in the 2007 through 2010 examination. The IRS completed its audit during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, and issued its RAR and ETER to the Company with proposed adjustments to the Company’s taxable income for 2011 and 2012 and net operating loss carryforwards from 2010 and assessments for additional payroll tax liabilities and penalties for 2011 and 2012 related to the Company’s treatment of certain non-taxable per diem allowances and travel benefits. The positions in the RAR and ETER for the 2011 and 2012 years are mutually exclusive and contain multiple tax positions, some of which are contrary to each other. The Company filed a Protest Letter for both the RAR and ETER in April 2015 and the matter is currently at IRS Appeals. The Company has been meeting and working with the IRS Appeals office and anticipates a resolution within the next twelve months. The IRS began an audit of the Company’s 2013 tax year during the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The Company believes its reserveliability for unrecognized tax benefits and contingent tax issues is adequate with respect to all open years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company could adjust its provision for income taxes and contingent tax liability based on future developments.

CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including a deferral of payment of employer payroll taxes and an employer retention credit for employer payroll taxes.
The Company deferred payment of the employer’s share of payroll taxes of $48,452. Approximately half of such taxes was paid during 2021 and the other half is to be paid by the end of 2022, which is included in accrued compensation and benefits in the consolidated balance sheets as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company claimed an employee retention tax credit of $1,756.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: LEGALCONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters typically relate to professional liability, tax, payroll,compensation, contract, competitor disputes and employee-related matters and include individual and collectiveclass action lawsuits, as well as inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding the Company’s employment and compensation practices. Additionally, some of the Company’s clients may also become subject to claims, governmental inquiries and investigations, and legal actions relating to services provided by the Company’s healthcare professionals. Depending upon the particular facts and circumstances, the Company may also be subject to indemnification obligations under its contracts with such clients relating to these matters. The Company accrues for contingencies and records a liability when management believes an adverse outcome from a loss contingency is both probable and the amount, or a range, can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability of loss and the estimated amount. The Company reviews its loss contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts its accruals and/or disclosures to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, or other new information, as deemed necessary. The most significant

matters for which the Company has established loss contingencies are class actions related to wage and hour claims under California and Federal law. Specifically, among other claims in these lawsuits, it is alleged that certain expense reimbursements should be considered wages and included in the regular rate of pay for purposes of calculating overtime rates.

On May 26, 2016, former travel nurse Verna Maxwell Clarke filed a complaint against AMN Services, LLC, in California Superior Court in Los Angeles County. The Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 2:16-cv-04132-DSF-KS) (the “Clarke Matter”). The complaint asserts that, due to the Company’s per diem adjustment practices, traveling nurses’ per diem benefits should be included in their regular rate of pay for the purposes of calculating their overtime compensation. On June 26, 2018, the district court denied the plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment in its entirety, and granted the Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment with respect to the plaintiffs’ per diem and overtime claims. Management currentlyThe plaintiffs filed an appeal of the judgment relating to the per diem claims with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Ninth Circuit”). On February 8, 2021, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion that reversed the district court’s granting of the Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment and remanded the matter to the district court instructing the district to enter partial summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs. On August 26, 2021, the Company filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Ninth Circuit’s decision, which was denied on December 13, 2021. This case is proceeding in the United States District Court.

On May 2, 2019, former travel nurse Sara Woehrle filed a complaint against AMN Services, LLC, and Providence Health System – Southern California in California Superior Court in Los Angeles County. The Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 2:19-cv-05282 DSF-KS). The complaint asserts that, due to the Company’s per diem adjustment practices, traveling nurses’ per diem benefits should be included in their regular rate of pay for the purposes of calculating their overtime compensation. The complaint also alleges that the putative class members were denied required meal periods, denied proper overtime compensation, were not compensated for all time worked, including reporting time and training time, and received non-compliant wage statements. The Company has reached an agreement to settle this matter in its entirety and is awaiting court approval. Final settlement is not expected until the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Company believes the probable loss related to thesethat its current wage and hour claimspractices conform with the applicable law in all material respects. Because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, the Company is not material andable to reasonably predict if any matter will be resolved in a manner that is materially adverse to the amountCompany. The Company has recorded accruals in connection with the matters described above amounting to $37,225. The Company is currently unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss beyond amounts already accrued. Loss contingencies accrued by the Company for such claims is not material as of September 30, 2017. However, losses ultimately incurred for such claims could materially differ from amounts already accrued by the Company.
With regards to outstanding loss contingencies as of September 30, 2017, whichboth March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Operating Leases
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an office building located in Dallas, Texas, with future undiscounted lease payments of approximately $29,514, excluding lease incentives. Because the Company does not control the underlying asset during the construction period, the Company is not considered the owner of the asset under construction for accounting purposes. The lease will commence upon completion of the construction of the office building which is expected be in the first quarter of 2023. The initial term of the lease is approximately eleven years with options to renew the lease during the lease term. A right-of-use asset and lease liability will be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet the Company believes that such matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.period the lease commences.

Operating Metrics
In addition to our consolidated and segment financial results, we monitor the following key metrics to help us evaluate our results of operations and financial condition and make strategic decisions. We believe this information is useful in understanding our operational performance and trends affecting our businesses.

Average travelers on assignment represents the average number of nurse and allied healthcare professionals on assignment during the period, which is used by management as a measure of volume in our nurse and allied solutions segment;
Bill rates represent the hourly straight-time rates that include consulting, data analytics, predictive modeling,we bill to clients, which are an indicator of labor market trends and SaaS-based scheduling technology.costs within our nurse and allied solutions segment;

Billable hours represent hours worked by our healthcare professionals that we are able to bill on client engagements, which are used by management as a measure of volume in our nurse and allied solutions segment;
Days filled is calculated by dividing total locum tenens hours filled during the period by eight hours, which is used by management as a measure of volume in our locum tenens business within our physician and leadership solutions segment; and
Revenue per day filled is calculated by dividing revenue of our locum tenens business by days filled for the period, which is an indicator of labor market trends and costs in our locum tenens business within our physician and leadership solutions segment.
Recent Trends


Demand for our temporary and permanent placement staffing services is driven in part by U.S. economic and labor trends.trends, and since early 2020 through present, the COVID-19 pandemic “Great Resignation” have impacted demand. Since late 2020, we have been experiencing historically high demand for nurses and certain allied healthcare professionals and demand across all segments and business lines is above pre-COVID-19 levels.

With high demand levels across many specialties in our nurse and allied solutions segment, our clients continue to face increased labor shortages resulting from nurse burnout, attrition, and retirements. We have recently seen travel nurse demand begin to moderate, though still above pre-pandemic levels, due to reductions in COVID-19 hospitalizations and crisis needs. The U.S. Bureauwages for nurses and the corresponding bill rates we charge our clients peaked in the first quarter of Labor Statistics’ survey data reflect near2022 due to the shortage of clinicians, significantly higher demand and our clients’ need to frequently fill positions quickly. Our ability to adequately meet the high client demand continues to be constrained by the tight labor market. We anticipate bill rates to decline from first quarter levels, but remain well above pre-pandemic levels throughout the remainder of 2022.

The overall demand in our allied staffing division reached all-time highs in the first quarter, which resulted in record levels of healthcare job openings and quits, which we view as positive trends for the healthcare staffing industry. At the same time, the entire healthcare industry continues to face uncertainty related to the potential dismantling, or significant change to certain aspects of, the Affordable Care Act, which could impact the reimbursements upon which our clients depend. The uncertainty has impacted the utilization of healthcare services and demand for our services.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to intangible assets purchased in a business combination, asset impairments, accruals for self-insurance, compensation and related benefits, accounts receivable, contingencies and litigation, earn-outcontingent consideration (“earn-out”) liabilities associated with acquisitions, and income taxes. We base these estimates on the information that is currently

available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, our consolidated financial statements and future results of operations may be materially impacted. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 described in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 20162021 Annual Report.

Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue increased 5% to $917.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $877.2 million for the same period in 2016. The $40.0 million increase was primarily attributable to a 5% increase in the average number of healthcare professionals on assignment and a 3% increase in the average bill rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was partially offset by an approximately $28.0 million decrease in labor disruption revenue and the impact of one less calendar day due to last year being a leap year.
Locum tenens solutions segment revenue was $322.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $320.4 million for the same period in 2016.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Amortization expense increased 2% to $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $13.6 million for the same period in 2016, primarily attributable to additional amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired in the Peak acquisition. Depreciation expense increased 18% to $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $8.3 million for the same period in 2016, primarily attributable to fixed assets acquired as part of the Peak acquisition and an increase in purchased and developed hardware and software placed in service for our ongoing front and back office information technology initiatives.
Interest Expense, Net, and OtherInterest expense, net, and other, was $14.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $9.1 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher interest bearing Notes (as defined below) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the term loans and revolver in the same period last year.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $53.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as comparedrelation to income tax expense of $53.3 million for the same period in 2016, reflecting effectivebefore income tax rates of 37% and 40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the relationship of pre-tax income to permanent differences related to unrecognized tax benefits and excess tax benefit from the adoption of ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” in the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in recording a $5.4 million reduction in income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Prior to adoption, this amount would have been recorded as additional paid-in capital. Since the majority of our equity awards vest during the first quarter of the year, we do not anticipate the recording of additional excess tax benefits of this magnitude for the remainder of the year. This change could create future volatility in our effective tax rate depending upon the amount of exercise or vesting activity from our share-based awards. See additional information in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.” Including the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, we currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 38% for 2017.taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend the guidance by approving a one-year delay in the effective date of the new standard to 2018. In addition, the FASB has also issued several amendments to the standard which clarify certain aspects of the guidance, including principal versus agent consideration and identifying performance obligations. We expect to complete our evaluation of the impact of the accounting and disclosure requirements on our consolidated financial statements, business processes, controls and systems during the fourth quarter of 2017. This includes reviewing current accounting policies and practices to identify potential impact of the accounting and disclosure requirements on our business processes, controls and system. The extent of the impact of the adoption of this new standard is subject to the completion of our assessment by the end of 2017. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018, and apply the modified retrospective approach.
In February 2016,October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.This standard requires organizations that lease assetsThe new guidance will require companies to apply the definition of a performance obligation under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities, such as deferred revenue, relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination. Under existing guidance, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at their acquisition-date fair values in accordance with ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements—Overall. Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing acquired contract assets and liabilities createdon the same basis that would have been recorded by those leases. Thethe acquiree prior to the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. This standard also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The ASU becomesis effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are required to adopt the guidance on a modified retrospective basis and can elect to apply optional practical expedients.2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the approach we will take and the impact of adopting this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The standard provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning

after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, and requires a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the timing of this new standard’s adoption and the effect that adopting it will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” The standard requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The amendment will be adopted retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the timing of this new standard’s adoption and the effect that adopting it will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to compute the implied fair value of goodwill to measure impairment. Instead, any goodwill impairment will equal the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Further, the guidance eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment test in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. While we continue to assess the potential impact of this standard, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
There have been no other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that are expected to materially affect our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, our primary exposure to market risk was interest rate risk associated with our variable interest debt instruments. In April 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on $100 million of our outstanding variable rate debt under one of our term loans for which we pay a fixed rate of 0.983% per annum and receive a variable rate equal to floating one-month LIBOR. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and repayment of a portion of the Term Loans, we reduced the interest rate swap notional amount to $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. On May 3, 2017, we terminated the remaining interest rate swap after further repayment of the Term Loans. During the third quarter of 2017, we paid off the remaining balance of the Term Loans. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would

not have resulted in a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, we generated substantially all of our revenue in the United States. Accordingly, we believe that our foreign currency risk is immaterial.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
