NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~SEPTEMBER 30,~~MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019 ~~AND 2018~~

(Unaudited)

1.	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation:

Basis of Presentation

References in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q to “we”, “our”, “Mastech Digital”, “Mastech” or “the Company” refer collectively to Mastech Digital, Inc. and its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, which are included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”).

Description of Business

We are a provider of Digital Transformation IT Services.

Our portfolio of offerings includes data management and analytics services; other digital transformation services around Salesforce.com and Digital Learning; and IT staffing services for both digital and mainstream technologies.

Reflective of our 2017 acquisition of the services division of Canada-based InfoTrellis, Inc., we have added specialized capabilities in delivering data management and analytics services to our customers globally. This business offers project-based consulting services in the areas of Master Data Management, Enterprise Data Integration, Big Data, Analytics and Digital Transformation, with such services delivered usingon-site and offshore resources.

Our IT staffing business combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of staffing services in digital and mainstream technologies. Our digital technologies include data management, analytics, cloud, mobility, social and artificial intelligence. We work with businesses and institutions with significant IT spending and recurring staffing service needs. We also support smaller organizations with their “project focused” temporary IT staffing requirements.

Accounting Principles

The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, included in our Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the SEC on March ~~29, 2019.~~30, 2020. Additionally, our operating results for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2019~~2020 or for any other period.

Principles of Consolidation

Segment Reporting

The Company has two reportable segments, in accordance with Accounting Standards Committee (“ASC”) Topic 280 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”: Data and Analytics Services and IT Staffing Services.

2.	Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue ontime-and-material contracts over time as services are performed and expenses are incurred.Time-and-material contracts typically bill at an agreed-upon hourly rate, plusout-of-pocket expense reimbursement.Out-of-pocket expense reimbursement amounts vary by assignment, but on average represent less than 2% of total revenues. Revenue is earned on a per transaction or labor hour basis, as that amount directly corresponds to the value of the Company’s performance. Revenue recognition is negatively impacted by holidays and consultant vacation and sick days.

In certain situations related to client direct hire assignments, where the Company’s fee is contingent upon the hired resources continued employment with the client, revenue is not fully recognized until such employment conditions are satisfied.

The Company recognizes revenue on fixed price contracts over time as services are rendered and uses a cost-based input method to measure progress. Determining a measure of progress requires management to make judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized. Under the cost-based input method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. The Company has determined that the cost-based input method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods or services to the customer. Estimated losses are recognized immediately in the period in which current estimates indicate a loss. We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, including amounts which may be refundable.

We do not sell, lease or otherwise market computer software or hardware, and essentially 100% of our revenue is derived from the sale of data and analytics, IT staffing and digital transformation services. We expense sales commissions in the same period in which revenues are realized. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses.

Our ~~data~~Data and ~~analytics services~~Analytics Services segment provides specialized capabilities in delivering data management and analytics services to customers globally. This business offers project-based consulting services in the areas of Master Data Management, Enterprise Data Integration, Data and Analytics and Digital Transformation, which can be delivered using onsite and offshore resources.

Our IT ~~staffing business~~Staffing Services segment combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of services in digital and mainstream technologies. Our digital technology stack includes data management and analytics, cloud, mobility, social and automation. Our mainstream technologies include business intelligence / data warehousing; web services; enterprise resource planning & customer resource management; ande-Business solutions. We work with businesses and institutions with significantIT-spend and recurring staffing needs. We also support smaller organizations with their “project focused” temporary IT staffing requirements.

3.	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net

Goodwill related to our June 15, 2015 acquisition of Hudson Global Resources Management’s U.S. IT staffing business (“Hudson IT”) totaled $8.4 million. Goodwill related to our July 13, 2017 acquisition of the services division of InfoTrellis totaled $27.4 million. During 2018, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment related to the InfoTrellis acquisition of $9.7 million. This impairment was attributable to a lower recovery in revenues from levels present at closing. Based upon the business performance subsequent to the acquisition date, we reduced our near-term outlook and lowered our revenue projections from original expectations. Also, we factored into our assessment of discounted cash flows, additional investments to the sales organization and other necessary investments which were not initially considered.

~~The following table provides information regarding changes in the Company’s goodwill by operating segment for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.~~

Leases

The Company rents certain office facilities and equipment under noncancelable operating leases. ~~Approximately 88,000~~As of March 31, 2020, approximately 90,000 square feet of office space is utilized for our sales and recruiting offices, delivery centers, and corporate ~~headquarters as of September 30, 2019.~~headquarters. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. The average initial lease term is five years. Several leases have an option to renew, at our sole discretion, for an additional term. Our present lease terms range from less than one year to ~~4.9~~4.5 years with an average of ~~2.2~~1.9 years. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company adopted ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” on January 1, 2019 using the additional transition method noted in ASU2018-11. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the Company recording a leaseright-of-use asset and related lease liability of $5.7 million as of January 1, 2019. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance had an immaterial impact on the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated net earnings in future periods. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to ~~carryforward~~carry forward the historical lease classification, among other things.

The following table summarizes the balance sheet classification of the lease ~~asset~~assets and related lease ~~liability:~~liabilities:

5.	Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and administrative proceedings. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of these matters, the Company’s management believes, after consultation with legal counsel, that the disposition of these proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

6.	Employee Benefit Plan

The Company provides an Employee Retirement Savings Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that covers substantially all U.S. based salaried employees. Concurrent with the 2015 acquisition of Hudson IT, the Company expanded employee eligibility under the Retirement Plan to include all U.S. basedW-2 hourly employees. Employees may contribute a percentage of eligible compensation to the Retirement Plan, subject to certain limits under the Code. For Hudson IT employees enrolled in the Hudson Employee Retirement Savings Plan under the Code at the acquisition date, the Company ~~provides~~provided a matching contribution of 50% of the first 6% of the participant’s contributed pay, subject to vesting based on the combined tenure with Hudson and Mastech Digital.

employees.

7.	Stock-Based Compensation

In 2008, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which, as amended, provides that up to 3,900,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be allocated for issuance to directors, officers and key personnel. Grants under the Plan can be made in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or stock awards. During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019, the Company granted 130,000 stock options at an average strike price of $5.65 under the Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company granted restricted share units of ~~16,365~~11,475 and ~~683,000~~800,000 stock option grants at an average strike price of ~~$6.48.~~$15.49. The Company’s stock option grants are contingent upon shareholder approval to increase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that may be issued pursuant to the Plan by 1,000,000 shares, to a total of 4,900,000. The Company’s shareholders will vote on this matter at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 13, 2020. During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company granted ~~no shares under the Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted 25,380~~16,365 restricted share units and ~~180,000~~553,000 stock options at a strike price of ~~$7.46~~$6.67 under the Plan. AsExclusive of ~~September 30, 2019 and December~~the contingent grant referenced above, at March 31, ~~2018,~~2020, there were ~~150,000~~205,000 shares ~~and 549,000 shares, respectively~~ available for grants under the Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $456,000 and ~~2018 was $263,000 and $116,000,~~$236,000, respectively, and ~~for the nine months September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $766,000 and $341,000. Stock-based compensation expense~~ is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ~~September 30,~~ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 0141,066 and ~~17,460 shares, respectively, related to the vesting of restricted shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 56,636 and 65,112~~8,460 shares, respectively, related to the vesting of restricted shares and the exercising of stock options.

In October 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Mastech Digital, Inc. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”). The Stock Purchase Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Code and ~~required the approval of~~was approved by the Company’s shareholders to be ~~qualified under Section 423 of the Code.~~qualified. On May 15, 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the Stock Purchase Plan. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, 600,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment upon certain changes in the Company’s capitalization) are available for purchase by eligible employees who become participants in the Stock Purchase Plan. The purchase price per share is 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the first day of the offering period, or (ii) the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the last day of the offering period.

The ~~first~~Company’s eligible full-time employees are able to contribute up to 15% of their base compensation into the employee stock purchase plan, subject to an annual limit of $25,000 per person. Employees are able to purchase Company common stock at a 15% discount to the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the initial or final trading dates of eachsix-month offering ~~period~~period. Offering periods begin on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of employee stock purchase plan share-based payments. The fair value of thesix-month “look-back” option in the Company’s employee stock purchase plans is estimated by adding the fair value of 15% of one share of stock to 85% of the fair value of an option on one share of stock. The Company utilized U.S. Treasury yields as of the grant date for its risk-free interest rate assumption, matching the Treasury yield terms to thesix-month offering period. The Company utilized historical company data to develop its dividend yield and expected volatility assumptions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no shares issued under the Stock Purchase ~~Plan commenced on January 1, 2019 and concluded on June 30, 2019. The Company issued 25,793 shares related to the first offering period ended June 30, 2019 at a share price of $4.04.~~Plan. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, there were ~~574,000~~559,500 shares available for ~~grants~~purchases under the Plan.

8.	Credit Facility

On July 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, as administrative agent, swing loan lender and issuing lender, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole book-runner, and certain financial institution parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a total aggregate commitment of $60 million, consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $22.5 million (subject to increase by up to an additional $10 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions); (ii) a $30.5 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”); and a (iii) $7.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), as more fully described in the Company’s Forms8-K, filed with the SEC on July 19, 2017 and April 25, 2018.

The Revolver expires in July 2022 and includes swing loan and letter of creditsub-limits in the aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million for swing loans and $5.0 million for letters of credit. Borrowings under the Revolver may be denominated in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars. The maximum borrowings in U.S. dollars may not exceed the sum of 85% of eligible U.S. accounts receivable and 60% of eligible U.S. unbilled receivables, less a reserve amount established by the administrative agent. The maximum borrowings in Canadian dollars may not exceed the lesser of (i) $10.0 million; and (ii) the sum of 85% of eligible Canadian receivables, plus 60% of eligible Canadian unbilled receivables, less a reserve amount established by the administrative agent.

Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan are required to be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments through and including July 1, 2022 and on the maturity date of July 13, 2022. The principal amount of each quarterly installment payable on the Term Loan equals the product of $30.5 million, multiplied by (i) 3.75% for quarterly installments payable through and including July 1, 2021; and (ii) 5.00% for quarterly installments payable on October 1, 2021 through and including the maturity date, with the maturity date payment equal to the outstanding amount of the loan on that date. Additionally, under the Term Loan agreement there is a mandatory repayment requirement related to excess cash flows (as defined in the Credit Agreement) generated in a given fiscal year. This provision was triggered during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Accordingly, the Company was required to make an additional payment on the Term Loan of approximately $4.0 million in April 2020. The Delayed Draw Term Loan was not accessed and was cancelled effective July 2019.

Borrowings under the Revolver and the term ~~loan,~~loans, at the Company’s election, bear interest at either (a) the higher of PNC’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, plus an applicable margin determined based upon the Company’s senior leverage ratio or (b) an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin determined based upon the Company’s senior leverage ratio. The applicable margin on the base rate is between 0.50% and 1.25% on Revolver borrowings and between 1.75% and 2.50% on term loans. The applicable margin on the adjusted LIBOR is between 1.50% and 2.25% on revolver borrowings and between 2.75% and 3.50% on term loans. A 20 to 30 basis point per annum commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan ~~(prior to cancellation)~~ is charged and due monthly in arrears. The applicable commitment fee is determined based upon the Company’s senior leverage ratio.

The Company pledged substantially all of its assets in support of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains standard financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants related to the Company’s senior leverage ratio and fixed charge ratio (as defined under the Credit Agreement) and limitations on liens, indebtedness, guarantees, contingent liabilities, loans and investments, distributions, leases, asset sales, stock repurchases and mergers and acquisitions.

In connection with securing the commitments under the Credit Agreement, the Company paid a commitment fee and incurred deferred financing costs totaling $506,000, which were capitalized and are being amortized as interest expense over the life of the facility. Debt financing costs of ~~$289,000~~$237,000 and ~~$367,000~~$263,000 (net of amortization) as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, are presented as reductions in long-term debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Revolver totaled ~~$5.3~~$7.3 million and ~~$13.6~~$9.5 million, respectively; and unused borrowing capacity available was approximately ~~$17.2~~$15.2 million and ~~$9.0~~$13.0 million, respectively. The Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan were ~~$22.1~~$14.8 million and ~~$25.5~~$16.0 million at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. The Company believes the eligible borrowing base on the Revolver will not fall below current outstanding borrowings for a period of time exceeding one year and has classified the ~~$5.3~~$7.3 million net outstanding debt balance at ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, as long-term.

10.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Risk Management

Concurrent with the Company’s July 13, 2017 borrowings under its new credit facility, the Company entered into a 44–month interest-rate swap to convert the debt’s variable interest rate to a fixed rate of interest. Under the swap contracts, the Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 1.99% and receives interest at a variable rate equal to the daily U.S. LIBOR on an initial notional amount of $15.0 million. Notional amounts were ~~$10.9~~$9.8 million and ~~$12.6~~$10.3 million at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. These swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges at inception under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. These contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest expense in the same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of interest-rate swap contracts deemed ineffective are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest expense. ~~Prior to July 13, 2017, the Company had outstanding interest-rate swap contracts related to term loan borrowings under the Company’s previous credit agreement.~~ The fair value of the interest-rate swap contracts at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 was a liability of ~~$56,000~~$137,000 and ~~an asset of $106,000,~~$43,000, respectively, and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as other current ~~liabilities and other current assets, respectively.~~liabilities.

11.	Fair Value Measurements

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), related to certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 establishes the authoritative definition of fair value; sets out a framework for measuring fair value; and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation techniques required by ASC 820 are based on observable and unobservable inputs using the following three-tier hierarchy:

Level ~~1 -~~ 1—Inputs are observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level ~~2 -~~ 2—Inputs are observable, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level ~~3 -~~ 3—Inputs are unobservable that are supported by little or no market activity.

At ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company carried the following financial assets (liabilities) at fair value measured on a recurring basis (in thousands):


	Fair Value as of September 30, 2019											Fair Value as of March 31, 2020
(Amounts in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3			Total			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total
Interest-Rate Swap Contracts	$	—	$	(56	)	$	—		$	(56	)	$	—	$	(137	)	$	—	$	(137	)


	Fair Value as of December 31, 2018
(Amounts in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3			Total
Interest-Rate Swap Contracts	$	—	$	106		$	—		$	106
Contingent consideration liability	$	—	$	—		$	(6,069	)	$	(6,069	)

(Amounts in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total
Interest-Rate Swap Contracts	$	—	$	(43	)	$	—	$	(43	)

The fair value of interest rate swap contracts are based on quoted prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank, and therefore, the fair value measurement is considered to be within level 2. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated by utilizing a probability weighted simulation model to determine the fair value of contingent consideration, and therefore, the fair value measurement is considered to be within level 3.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company revalued the contingent consideration liability related to the InfoTrellis acquisition after determining that relevant conditions for payment of such liabilities were unlikely to be fully satisfied. The revaluation resulted in a $6.1 million reduction to the contingent consideration liability related to the InfoTrellis acquisition.

~~The following table provides information regarding changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liability for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.~~

12.	Shareholders’ Equity

The Company purchases shares to satisfy employee tax obligations related to its Stock Incentive Plan. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company purchased 0 shares and 2,574 shares at a share price of $5.05, respectively, to satisfy employee tax obligations related to the vesting of restricted stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company purchased 0 shares and 2,574 shares at a share price of $8.01, respectively,no purchases were made to satisfy employee tax obligations related to the vesting of restricted stock.

13.	Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the Company’s net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. The dilutive effect of stock options was calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, there were ~~1.1 million and 1.0 million~~440,000 anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per ~~share, respectively.~~share. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, there were no180,000 anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

15.	Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02,~~ ~~“Leases (Topic 842)”. The main difference between the current requirement under GAAP and ASU2016-02~~ ~~is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. ASU2016-02~~ ~~requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and aright-of-use~~ ~~asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-10,~~ ~~“Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU2018-11,~~ ~~“Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”. The amendments in these ASUs clarify narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASUNo. 2016-02~~ “Leases (Topic 842)” and provide an additional transition method to adopt the new leases standard. The new transition method allows an entity to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU~~2018-20,~~ ~~“Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors”. The amendments in this ASU clarify how lessors account for sales tax, certain lessor costs and variable payments. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2019-01,~~ “Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements”. The amendments in this ASU clarify fair value determinations by certain lessors, provide guidance on statement of cash flow disclosure for certain leases, and provide an exception to prior period comparative disclosure requirements for transition reporting. These ASUs are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new Lease guidance on January 1, 2019 using the additional transition method noted in ASU~~2018-11.~~ The adoption of the new standard resulted in the Company recording a lease asset and related lease liability of $5.7 million as of January 1, 2019. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance had an immaterial impact on the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated net earnings in future periods. Additional disclosures have been included in Note 4 in accordance with the requirements of the new guidance.

~~In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-12,~~ “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”. The amendments in this ASU better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results.

Recent Developments:

In December 2019, a new strain of the coronavirus(COVID-19) was reported in Mainland China and during the first quarter of 2020 had spread to over 150 countries, resulting in a global pandemic. ThisCOVID-19 pandemic and the public health responses to contain it have resulted in global recessionary conditions, which did not exist as we entered the year 2020. Among other effects, government-mandated closures,stay-at-home orders and other related measures have significantly impacted the U.S. labor market specifically, and global economic activity and business investment in general. While the duration and overall severity of these global recessionary conditions is unknown, we saw some adverse impact on our business in March and expect to see an even greater impact in the second quarter ending June 30, ~~2019, except for~~2020, the ~~adoption~~2020 fiscal year and beyond. The ultimate impact on the second quarter, the 2020 fiscal year and beyond will depend heavily on the duration of ~~ASU~~the~~No. 2016-02,~~COVID-19 ~~“Leases (Topic 842)” on January 1, 2019 using~~pandemic and public health responses, including government-mandated closures,stay-at-home orders and social distancing mandates, as well as the ~~additional transition method noted in ASU~~substance and pace of macroeconomic recovery, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape of the~~2018-11.~~COVID-19 ~~See Note 4, herein for further disclosures.~~pandemic and the public health responses to contain it.

Overview:

We are a provider of Digital Transformation IT Services to mostly large and medium sized organizations.

With the July 13, 2017 acquisition of InfoTrellis, we now operate in two reporting segments – Data and Analytics Services and IT Staffing Services. Our ~~data~~Data and ~~analytics services~~Analytics Services are marketed on a global basis under the brand Mastech InfoTrellis and delivered largely on a project basis withon-site andoff-shore resources. These capabilities and expertise were acquired through our 2017 acquisition of InfoTrellis. Our IT staffing business combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of staffing services in digital and mainstream technologies, as well as our other digital transformation services.

Both business segments provide their services across various industry verticals including: financial services; government; healthcare; manufacturing; retail; technology; telecommunications; education; and transportation. Within each reporting segment we evaluate our revenues and gross profits largely by sales channel responsibility. In the past, we have disclosed revenues and gross profits by client type (wholesale clients and retail clients). Management’s emphasis on the breakdown of wholesale and retail client types has diminished over the last several years as gross margin opportunities within each client type have changed considerably as the Company has focused on digital technologies. Today, ourThis analysis within our two reporting segments is multi-purposed and includes technologies employed, client relationships, and sales channel accountability.

Economic Trends and Outlook:

Our business outlook is highly correlated to general North American economic conditions. During periods of increasing employment and economic expansion, demand for our services tends to increase. Conversely, during periods of contracting employment and / or a slowing domestic economy, demand for our services tends to decline. As the economy slowed during the second half of 2007 and recessionary conditions emerged in 2008 and during much of 2009, we experienced less demand for our staffing services. During the second half of 2009, we began to see signs of market stabilization and a modestpick-up in activity levels within certain sales channels and technologies and in 2010, market conditions continued to strengthen over the course of the year. In 2011 through 2013, activity levels continued to trend up in most technologies and sales channels. During 2014 and 2015, we continued to see a steady flow of solid activity in our contract staffing business; however, tightness in the supply side (skilled IT professionals) of our business during these years negatively impacted our new assignment successes. Solid activity levels in our contract staffing business continued in 2016 through ~~2018,~~2019, however, recruitment challenges remained due to the tightness in the supply of skilled IT professionals. As we ~~advance through 2019,~~entered 2020, we ~~are~~were encouraged by continued growth in the domestic job markets and an expanding U.S. economy, which we believe are positive factors for both our IT ~~staffing services~~Staffing Services and ~~data~~Data and ~~analytics services~~Analytics Services businesses. ~~We believe that supply side pressures will persist~~However, the emergence of theCOVID-19 global pandemic during the first quarter of 2020, which has resulted in ~~both of~~global recessionary conditions has materially changed our ~~business segments, particularly in our IT staffing services segment.~~outlook for the year (see Recent Developments herein).

In addition to tracking general ~~U.S.~~ economic conditions, a large portion of our revenues isare generated from a limited number of clients. Accordingly, our trends and outlook are additionally impacted by the prospects and well-being of these specific clients. This “account concentration” factor may cause our results of operations to deviate from the prevailing U.S. economic trends from time to time.

Within the IT staffing segment, a larger portion of our revenues has come from strategic relationships with systems integrators and other staffing organizations. Additionally, many largeend-users of IT staffing services are employing third-party managed service providers (“MSP’s”) to manage their contractor spending in an effort to drive down overall costs. Both of these dynamics may pressure our IT staffing gross margins in the future.

Recent growth in certain advanced technologies such as social, cloud, analytics, mobility and automation is providing opportunities within our IT ~~staffing services~~Staffing Services segment. However, supply side challenges are acute with respect to many of these technologies.

Strong demand for our IT staffing services and improved efficiencies at our global recruitment center were largely responsible for this improvement. Permanent placement / fee revenues were approximately $0.5 million during the nine month period of 2019, which was~~in-line~~ ~~with a strong permanent placement performance of a year ago.~~

~~Gross Margins:~~

Gross profits in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $35.2 million, compared to $31.9 million during the corresponding 2018 period, an increase of $3.3 million. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 24.6% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to 24.0% during the same period of 2018. This~~60-basis~~ ~~point improvement reflected higher gross margins at both operating segments and higher volume levels in our high-margin Data and Analytics Services segment (favorable revenue mix).~~

~~Below is a tabular presentation of gross margin by reporting segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:~~

Total gross margin

Gross margins from our Data and Analytics Services segment were 45.8% of revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. This compared to gross margins of 43.7% in the corresponding period of 2018. The margin improvement reflected lower bench costs and higher billable consultant utilization in the 2019 period.

~~Gross margins from our IT Staffing Services segment were 21.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 20.9% during the corresponding period of 2018. This40-basis~~ ~~point expansion was due to better gross margins on new assignments secured during the last several quarters, which reflects our focus on advanced technology skill-sets.~~

~~Selling, General and Administrative (“S,G&A”) Expenses:~~

Below is a tabular presentation of operating expenses by sales, operations, amortization of acquired intangible assets, revaluation of contingent consideration, goodwill impairment, acquisition transaction costs and general and administrative categories for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

Total S,G&A Expenses

S,G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $21.7 million, compared to $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the revaluation of contingent consideration, net of goodwill impairment, and the ~~amortization~~vesting of acquired intangible assets in both periods, S,G&A expense as a percentage of total revenues would have been 17.9% and 16.5%, respectively. Fluctuations within S,G&A expense components during the first nine months of 2019, compared to the first nine months of 2018, included the following:

Sales expense increased by $1.0 million in the 2019 period compared to 2018. Approximately $0.7 million reflected investments in the sales organization of our Data and Analytics Services segment. Sales expense in our IT Staffing Services segment increased by $0.3 million due to higher staff compensation.

Operations expense increased by $1.4 million in the 2019 period compared to 2018. Investments in our Data and Analytics Services segment accounted for $0.3 million of this variance. Higher offshore recruiter staff/compensation, facility costs and higher H1B processing expenses in our IT Staffing Services segment were responsible for an increase of $1.1 million.

~~Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $2.1 million in both the 2019 and 2018 periods.~~

~~Revaluation of contingent consideration, net of goodwill impairment, totaled a credit of $6.1 million in the 2019 period compared to a credit of $1.4 million in the 2018 period.~~

~~Acquisition transaction costs were negative $0.1 million in both the 2019 and 2018 periods due to reduced investment banking fees associated with contingent consideration payments.~~

General and administrative expense increased by $1.5 million in the 2019 period compared to 2018. Approximately $0.6 million was related to our Data and Analytics Services segment and was largely due to higher executive leadership compensation expense and stock-based compensation expense in the 2019 period. The $0.9 million increase in our IT Staffing Services segment was due to higher compensation expense; system upgrade and support costs; and higher depreciation expense.

~~Other Income / (Expense) Components:~~

Other Income / (Expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted of interest expense of ($1.4 million) and foreign exchange losses of ($21,000). For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of interest expense of ($1.6 million) and foreign exchange gains / other of $77,000. The lower level of interest expense was largely due to lower borrowings from a year ago.

~~Income Tax Expense:~~

~~Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $3.2 million, representing an effective tax rate onpre-tax~~ ~~income of 26.6% compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which represented a 25.9% effective tax rate onpre-tax~~ ~~income. The higher effective tax rate in the 2019 period largely reflected a higher aggregate tax rate on foreign earnings and lower excess tax benefits from stock options /~~ restricted ~~shares compared to the 2018 period.~~share units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Financial Conditions and Liquidity:

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had bank debt, net of cash balances on hand, of ~~$25.4~~$19.6 million and approximately ~~$17.2~~$15 million of borrowing capacity under our existing credit facility.

Historically, we have funded our organic business needs with cash generated from operating activities. Controlling our operating working capital levels by closely managing our accounts receivable balance is an important element of cash generation. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our accounts receivable “days sales outstanding” (“DSOs”) measurement ~~improved by~~was~~5-days~~60-days, ~~from~~which is on the higher end of our ~~June 30, 2019 measurement to61-days.~~ ~~This improvement reflected the continued progress in resolving cash conversion issues related to our Cloud-based ERP implementation.~~acceptable range.

We believe that cash provided by operating activities, cash balances on hand and current availability under our credit facility will be adequate to fund our business needs and debt service obligations over the next twelve months.

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities:

Cash provided by operating activities for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 totaled ~~$13.1~~$2.8 million compared to cash ~~(used in)~~provided by operating activities of ~~($3.3 million)~~$1.1 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. Elements of cash flows in the ~~2019~~2020 period were net income of ~~$8.9~~$1.9 million,non-cash charges of negative ($1.1 million), and a decrease in operating working capital levels of $5.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, elements of cash flows in the 2018 period were net income of $5.8 million,~~non-cash~~ ~~charges of $2.0~~$1.1 million, and an increase in operating working capital levels of ($~~11.1~~0.2 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2019, elements of cash flow were net income of $1.0 million,~~Non-cash~~non-cash charges of $1.0 million, and an increase in ~~both periods were impacted by the revaluation of contingent consideration, net of goodwill impairment charges,~~operating working capital levels of ($~~6.1~~0.9 million) ~~and ($1.4 million), in 2019 and 2018, respectively.~~. The operating working capital ~~decrease~~increases in ~~the~~both 2020 and 2019 ~~period reflected improved accounts receivable collections and higher payroll accruals (timing of pay periods). In the 2018 period, operating working capital increases~~ were in support of revenue growth and the negative impact of the Cloud-based ERP implementation on our cash conversion processes. We believe Cloud-based ERP implementation issues related to cash conversion processes have been largely resolved at September 30, 2019.(higher accounts receivable levels).

Cash flows (used in) investing activities:

Cash (used in) investing activities for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 was ($~~0.8 million)~~102,000) compared to ($~~0.8 million)~~395,000) for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. In ~~2019~~both 2020 and ~~2018,~~2019 capital expenditures ~~totaled ($0.9 million) and ($0.5 million), respectively, and were largely related to system upgrade~~represented the majority of these expenditures. ~~Additionally, we had $0.1 million of real estate lease deposit recoveries in the 2019 period compared to real estate lease deposit increases of ($0.3 million) in the 2018 period.~~

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities:

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 totaled ($~~11.6~~2.8 million) and ~~largely~~ consisted of net repayments under our revolving credit facility of ($2.3 million ) and ($1.1 million) of debt payments on our term loan facility, ~~and revolving credit line~~ partially offset by ~~$0.1~~$0.6 million of proceeds from ~~issuance~~the exercise of ~~common~~ stock ~~related to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.~~options. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 totaled ~~$4.2 million~~($0.5 million) and consisted of net borrowings under our revolving credit facility of ~~$7.0~~$0.6 million ~~less~~and ($1.1 million) of debt payments on our term loan. In April 2020, we made an additional $4.0 million debt payment on our term loan facility in satisfaction of ~~($2.8 million).~~a mandatory repayment requirement related to excess cash flows (as defined in the underlying credit agreement for our term loan facility) generated in a given fiscal year. This provision was triggered during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

We do not have anyoff-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation:

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and, whenever possible, seeking to ensure that billing rates are adjusted periodically to reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

Seasonality:

Our operations are generally not affected by seasonal fluctuations. However, our consultants’ billable hours are affected by national holidays and vacation policies. Accordingly, we generally have lower utilization rates and higher benefit costs during the fourth quarter. Additionally, assignment completions tend to be higher near the end of the calendar year, which largely impacts our revenue and gross profit performance during the subsequent quarter.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

Recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 15 to the accompanying financial statements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to currency exchange rate variations. Foreign currency risk exists by nature of our global recruitment and delivery centers. In 2012 through 2015, we attempted to limit our exposure to currency exchange fluctuations in the Indian rupee via the purchase of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company elected not to engage in currency hedging activities in 2016 to date.
