In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue on
time-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, plus
out-of-pocket
expense reimbursement.
Out-of-pocket
expense reimbursement amounts vary by assignment, but on average represent less than 2% of the total contract 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.
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.
The Company’s
time-and-material
and fixed price revenue streams are recognized over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as the work is performed.
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.
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.
Each contract the Company enters into is assessed to determine the promised services to be performed and includes identification of the performance obligations required by the contract. In substantially all of our contracts, we have identified a single performance obligation for each contract either because the promised services are distinct or the promised services are highly interrelated and interdependent and therefore represent a combined single performance obligation.
Our Data and 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 Engineering and Analytics, which can be delivered using onsite and offshore resources.
Our IT 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; and
e-Business
solutions. We work with businesses and institutions with significant IT spend and recurring staffing needs. We also support smaller organizations with their “project focused” temporary IT staffing requirements.

Business Combinations
On October 1, 2020, Mastech Digital, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mastech Digital Data, Inc., acquired all of the outstanding shares of AmberLeaf Partners, Inc. (“AmberLeaf”). Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement executed in connection with the AmberLeaf acquisition (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company paid at the closing of the acquisition approximately $9.7 million in cash. The Purchase Agreement also requires the Company to pay to the former shareholders of AmberLeaf up to $4.5 million in deferred cash payments, which payments are contingent upon the AmberLeaf business achieving specific revenue growth and EBITDA margin targets. The amount of these deferred cash payments, if any, is based upon the revenue growth and EBITDA margins of the AmberLeaf business for the
12-month
period beginning on January 1, 2021 and for the
12-month
period beginning January 1, 2022, as described more fully in the Purchase Agreement.
To fund the acquisition, on October 1, 2020 the Company entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, as amended and dated April 20, 2018. The Third Amendment amends the Credit Agreement by, among other things, (1) increasing the aggregate commitment amount of the revolving credit facility to $30 million (an increase of $7.5 million); (2) providing for the Term Loan facility in the aggregate amount of $17.5 million (an increase of $10 million); (3) providing for an increase in the total commitment amount to the facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15 million, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions; and (4) amending the financial covenant in the Credit Agreement related to the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) by increasing the minimum permitted Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for each of the fiscal quarters ending on or after September 30, 2020.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be measured at their fair value as of the closing date.

Based on a valuation conducted by an independent third party, the fair value of contingent consideration at the closing date was determined to be $2,882,000.

The allocation of the purchase price was based on estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of October 1, 2020, as set forth below. The excess purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill, which includes value associated with the assembled workforce. Goodwill is expected to be largely deductible for tax purposes. The valuation of net assets acquired is as follows:

The fair value of identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis. Specifically, the Company used the income approach through an excess earnings analysis to determine the fair value of client relationships. The value applied to the covenant
not-to-compete
was based on an income approach using a “with or without” analysis of this covenant in place. The trade name and technology were valued using the income approach—relief from royalty method. All identifiable intangibles are considered level 3 inputs under the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance.
The Company incurred $650,000 of transaction expenses related to the acquisition in 2020 inclusive of the
write-off
of $185,000 of deferred finance costs. No transaction costs were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Included in the Condensed Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are revenues of $1.9 million and a net loss of approximately $0.1 million applicable to the AmberLeaf operations acquired on October 1, 2020.

We evaluate deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. GAAP accounting guidance requires us to assess whether valuation allowances should be established against deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative using a “more likely than not” standard. Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature of cumulative losses; forecastforecasts of future profitability; the duration of statutory carry-forward periodsperiods; and tax planning alternatives. AtAs of March 31, 2021,2022, our valuation allowance was comprised of balances within locations of Singapore and the United Kingdom. The valuation allowance balances at these locations totaled $211,000$394,000 and $179,000$311,000 as of March 31, 20212022, and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and reflect net operating losses which may not be realizable in the future.

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 theThe swap contracts, which matured on April 1, 2021, the Company paid interest at a fixed rate of 1.99% and received interest at a variable rate equal to the daily U.S. LIBOR on an initial notional amount of $15.0 million. Notional amounts were $7.5 million and $8.1 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 arewere recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments iswas recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and iswas reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest expense in the same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affectsaffected earnings.

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—Inputs are observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
 
Level 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—Inputs are unobservable that are supported by little or no market activity.

Overview:
We are a provider of Digital Transformation IT Services to mostly large and
medium-sized
organizations.
Our portfolio of offerings includes data management and analytics services; other digital transformation services such as digital learning services; and IT staffing services.
We operate in two reporting segments – Data and Analytics Services and IT Staffing Services. Our data and analytics services are marketed on a global basis under the brand Mastech InfoTrellis and are delivered largely on a project basis with
on-site
and
off-shore
resources. These capabilities and expertise were acquired through our acquisition of InfoTrellis and enhanced and expanded subsequent to the acquisition. In October 2020, we acquired AmberLeaf Partners, Inc. (“AmberLeaf”), a Chicago-based customer experience consulting firm. This acquisition enhanced our capabilities in customer experience strategy and managed services offerings for a variety of Cloud-based enterprise applications across sales, marketing and customer services organizations. 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; and transportation. In our Data and Analytics Services segment, we evaluate our revenues and gross profits largely by service line. In our IT Staffing Services segment, we evaluate our revenues and gross profits largely by sales channel responsibility. This analysis within both our reporting segments is multi-purposed and includes technologies employed, client relationships, and geographic locations.
Data and Analytics:
We provide information regarding our new bookings in our Data and Analytics Services segment, which represents the estimated value of client engagements, including those acquired through acquisitions, as well as renewals, extensions and changes to existing contracts, because we believe doing so provides useful trend information regarding changes in the volume of our new business over time. New bookings can vary significantly quarter to quarter depending in part on the timing of the signing of a small number of large engagements. Among other factors, the types of services and solutions to be delivered, the duration of the engagement and the pace and level of client spending impact the timing of the conversion of new bookings to revenues. In addition, substantially all of our contracts are terminable by the client on short notice with little or no termination penalties. Information regarding our new bookings is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of our revenues over time. New bookings involve estimates and judgments. There are no third-party standards or requirements governing the calculation of bookings. We do not update our new bookings for material subsequent terminations or reductions related to bookings originally provided in prior periods.
Economic Trends and Outlook:
Generally, our business outlook is highly correlated to general North American economic conditions, particularly with respect to our IT Staffing Services segment. 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 global economy, demand for our services tends to decline. As the economy slowed in 2007 and recessionary conditions emerged in 2008 and 2009, we experienced less demand for our IT staffing services. With economic expansion in 2010 through 2019, activity levels improved. However, as the recovery strengthened, we experience increased tightness in the supply-side (skilled IT professionals) of our businesses. These supply-side challenges pressured resource costs and to some extent gross margins. As we entered 2020, we were encouraged by continued growth in the domestic job markets and expanding U.S. and global economies. However, with the
COVID-19
pandemic surfacing in the first quarter of 2020, we realized the economic growth would quickly turn into recessionary conditions, which had a material impact on activity levels in both of our business segments. As we enterThis impact was reduced in 2021 we are encouraged byas a result of the global
roll-out
of vaccination programs and some signs of improving economic expansion. While there is still uncertainty in the global markets,conditions. As we enter 2022, we are hopeful that
COVID-19
related concerns will be less impactful on our business. The proliferation of
COVID-19
variants, however, have caused some uncertainty and may continue to disrupt global markets during 2022. In addition, we are mindful of inflationary pressures and overall economic conditions will improve throughoutconcerns regarding the year as the impactpotential for recessionary conditions.

Table of the pandemic subsides.Contents
In addition to tracking general economic conditions in the markets that we service, a large portion of our revenues is generated from a limited number of clients (see Item 1A, the Risk Factor entitled “Our revenues are highly concentrated, and the loss of a significant client would adversely affect our business and revenues” in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020)2021). Accordingly, our trends and outlook are additionally impacted by the prospects and well-being of these specific clients. This “account concentration” factor may result in our results of operations deviating from the prevailing economic trends from time to time.
Within our IT Staffing Services segment, a larger portion of our revenues has come from strategic relationships with systems integrators and other staffing organizations. Additionally, many large end users of IT staffing services are employing MSP’smanaged service providers to manage their contractor spending. Both of these dynamics may pressure our IT staffing gross margins in the future.
Recent growth in advanced technologies (social, cloud, analytics, mobility, automation) is providing opportunities within our IT Staffing Services segment. However, supply side challenges have proven to be acute with respect to many of these technologies.
We believe these challenges will remain during 2022.
21

TableWithin our Data and Analytics Services segment many customers are satisfying their D&A needs using a holistic approach. This often results in the customer using one vendor partner rather than with multiple vendors. We have responded to this trend by establishing a service offering called “Center of ContentsExcellence” which bundles a customer’s total requirements under a multi-year contract. This concept allows us to better understand the customer’s longer-term strategy with respect to D&A and effectively address such needs.

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. However, high levels of inflation may result in higher interest rates which would increase out cost of borrowings.
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 16 to the accompanying financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In addition to the inherent operational risks, the Company is exposed to certain market risks, primarily related to changes in interest rates and currency fluctuations.
CashInterest Rates
As of March 31, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings of $12.0 million under our Credit Agreement with PNC Bank and cash equivalentscertain other financial institution lenders — Refer to Note 9 – “Credit Facility” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates on our variable debt outstanding at March 31, 2022 would have an increase in our annual interest expense of approximately $36,000. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has no interest-rate hedge vehicles outstanding.
Currency Fluctuations
The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary in Canada is the U.S. dollar because the majority of its revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. The functional currencies of the Company’s Indian and European subsidiaries are definedthe local currency of the location of such subsidiary. The results of operations of the Company’s Indian and European subsidiaries are translated at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The financial position of the Company’s Indian and European subsidiaries is translated at the current exchange rates at the end of the period, and the related translation adjustments are recorded as casha component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within Shareholders’ Equity. Gains and highly liquid investments with maturitieslosses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included as a component of three monthsother income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and have not been material for all periods presented. A hypothetical 10% increase or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Our cash flowsdecrease in overall foreign currency rates would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. As our international operations grow, we will continue to evaluate and earnings are subjectreassess our approach to managing the risks relating 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.

Accordingly, pursuant to the SEC’s general guidanceexpect that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment for one year following the acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures doeswill prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.

Previously Identified Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020, management has identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internaldisclosure controls related to (1) management review controls designed to address risks associated with complex accounting mattersand procedures can provide absolute assurance that arise from significant routine
and non-routine transactions
related to goodwill impairment, business combinations, revenue recognition, share-based compensation, and income taxes; and (2) information technology general controls in the areas of change management, information security and IT operations. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Implementation of Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses
Management is in the process of implementing measures designed to improve the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to remediate these material weaknesses. Remediation activities and planning are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as audit committee oversight. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we implemented the following changes to our internal control over financial reporting:
hired additional personnel; and
enhanced our management review control processes associated with complex accounting matters.
Management will take additional measures to address the material weakness described above.
While we believe the changes described above will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the implementation of these measures is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, ordetected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that we may takeany design will succeed in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses we have identified or avoidachieving its stated goals under all potential future material weaknesses. Accordingly, there could continue to be a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
